Robots, cars, robotcars, and all sorts of prank devices require some degree of remote control. Most of the time, it's tempting to implement this yourself using XBee or some other wireless technology. Sometimes it's not a bad idea, but more often than not it's an over-powered and somewhat frustrating way to go. You find yourself thinking, "I remember the good old days when I just put batteries in the RC car and pushed the stick and it moved."
Well, welcome back to the good old days.
RC transmitter/receiver combos range from the simple and inexpensive to the seriously tricked-out, but the nice thing about them is that they all stick to a standard which makes them largely interchangeable. It turns out that connecting an RC receiver to your Arduino project is about the same as connecting a servo, and the code is just as simple. In this tutorial, I'll take you through the basics of using your Arduino to interpret commands from an inexpensive RC remote, so you can control anything, from a simple four-wheeled robot to your favorite processing sketch!
It's no big deal, I'll walk you through it. Radio-control transmitters and receivers are usually used to drive model cars or planes. A typical transmitter will have a few control surfaces, like wheels or joysticks, as well as some switches or dials. Each degree of freedom that the controller gives you is assigned a channel. In other words, a joystick covers two channels (x and y), whereas a dial or switch will cover one. RC transmitters generally have somewhere between four and six of these channels.
Since most RC models can be generalized as a fancy box of servos, that's exactly what the receiver is set up to control. Although they come in various shapes and sizes, they all share a common feature: a row of servo headers. These headers are lined up so that the servos in your model can be plugged directly into the receiver. This is handy because it allows us to plug the receiver into the Arduino which can interpret the "servo language" and decide how to use it.
Alright, that's the spirit! We'll hook up a few channels from the RC receiver to get a feel for what the input from the transmitter looks like. The RC transmitter/receiver pair that I have is six channels, but we'll just hook up three for now. This means we need three digital pins to read the input, as well as 5V power to the receiver. Here's a diagram of how I hooked mine up:
Notice that the RC receiver is upside-down, I flipped it to make it easier to trace my wires. You'll need to use male-female jumpers if you have them. If not, you can use some male and female jumpers stuck together. The digital pins that I chose are pretty much arbitrary; you should be able to use any digital input on the Arduino that you like, but the above should correspond to the code below.
Now let's upload a sketch and see what's coming in on those pins. The "servo" language that the RC receiver is pushing out is really PWM, or Pulse Width Modulation. Arduino has a handy function built in for reading these pulses and returning their length in milliseconds. This function is called pulseIn(). Let's take a look at a simple sketch I've written to print the raw input of the receiver to the serial monitor:
/* RC PulseIn Serial Read out By: Nick Poole SparkFun Electronics Date: 5 License: CC-BY SA 3.0 - Creative commons share-alike 3.0 use this code however you'd like, just keep this license and attribute. Let me know if you make hugely, awesome, great changes. */ int ch1; // Here's where we'll keep our channel values int ch2; int ch3; void setup() { pinMode(5, INPUT); // Set our input pins as such pinMode(6, INPUT); pinMode(7, INPUT); Serial.begin(9600); // Pour a bowl of Serial } void loop() { ch1 = pulseIn(5, HIGH, 25000); // Read the pulse width of ch2 = pulseIn(6, HIGH, 25000); // each channel ch3 = pulseIn(7, HIGH, 25000); Serial.print("Channel 1:"); // Print the value of Serial.println(ch1); // each channel Serial.print("Channel 2:"); Serial.println(ch2); Serial.print("Channel 3:"); Serial.println(ch3); delay(100); // I put this here just to make the terminal // window happier }
The pulseIn() function takes three arguments: the first is the pin that your pulse is coming in on; the second is what type of pulse you're looking for; and the third takes a time-out number, which is how long you're willing to wait for a pulse. What this function returns is the length of the pulse in microseconds, and this is how we're going to read the incoming PWM as if we were a servo. When you run this code, you should get some numbers spitting out onto the terminal. The numbers probably won't mean much to you but they should be somewhere between 1000 and 2000. What really matters is that when you move the control surface associated with that number, it should change. If you don't know what channel each part of your transmitter is on, this is a good way to find out: just wiggle sticks, push buttons, turn knobs and flip switches, and take note of which channel is affected.
Now that we have these values, we can code with them and do all kinds of things. The sketch below is my sketch after it's been modified to put these pulseIn() values into context.
/* RC PulseIn Joystick By: Nick Poole SparkFun Electronics Date: 5 License: CC-BY SA 3.0 - Creative commons share-alike 3.0 use this code however you'd like, just keep this license and attribute. Let me know if you make hugely, awesome, great changes. */ int ch1; // Here's where we'll keep our channel values int ch2; int ch3; void setup() { pinMode(5, INPUT); // Set our input pins as such pinMode(6, INPUT); pinMode(7, INPUT); Serial.begin(9600); // Pour a bowl of Serial } void loop() { ch1 = pulseIn(5, HIGH, 25000); // Read the pulse width of ch2 = pulseIn(6, HIGH, 25000); // each channel ch3 = pulseIn(7, HIGH, 25000); if(ch1>1000){Serial.println("Left Switch: Engaged");} if(ch1<1000){Serial.println("Left Switch: Disengaged");} /* I found that Ch1 was my left switch and that it floats around 900 in the off position and jumps to around 1100 in the on position */ Serial.print("Right Stick X:"); // Ch3 was x-axis Serial.println(map(ch3, 1000,2000,-500,500)); // center at 0 Serial.print("Right Stick Y:"); // Ch2 was y-axis Serial.println(map(ch2, 1000,2000,-500,500)); // center at 0 Serial.println(); //make some room delay(100);// I put this here just to make the terminal // window happier }
Here you can see that I've figured out which control surface on my transmitter is controlling which channel, and I've written a few print statements that will reflect my actions on the transmitter in plain English. You could expand this out to every channel on the receiver, you could also replace this sketch with Firmata and control a Processing sketch with your RC transmitter, but I think the best demonstration I can give is to slap this thing on a robot and drive it around. So let's get to it!
I've chosen the Magician chassis and Ardumoto motor driver shield to be my robot platform for this project. Since it only has two wheels, it's a good way to demonstrate simple differential steering and how to mix everything to make it work. The first thing we're going to do is modify the Ardumoto shield to create an impromptu "RCMoto" shield by adding some headers to the prototyping header that we can plug our receiver into:
I made six rows of three, since my transmitter has six channels, and you shouldn't need to connect to the battery header on the receiver as long as you're running power and ground to the servo headers. When you solder these in, keep in mind that your receiver is going to go upside down on this rig, and wire it accordingly. You should be able to see how I wired this one by inspecting the pictures above. The ground row is all bridged together and plugged into ground -- same with the power row -- then each signal pin is broken out to a digital pin. This isn't the cleanest mod, but it works out pretty well. Here's what the robot chassis looks like with our modified Ardumoto Shield and RC receiver connected:
Not bad, right? Make sure that your motors are appropriately connected and add a power supply (9v battery worked fine for me), because it's almost time to drive this thing. Only step left is to write some code to translate servo steering commands into left/right motor commands. I'll give you the code now and explain it below.
/* RC PulseIn Joystick Servo Control By: Nick Poole SparkFun Electronics Date: 5 License: CC-BY SA 3.0 - Creative commons share-alike 3.0 use this code however you'd like, just keep this license and attribute.

Okay, let me see if I can explain how the steering happens in the above sketch. What I've done is basically mapped the forward/back direction of my control stick to a number between -255 and 255, with the former representing backward at full speed and the latter representing full forward. To communicate this to the Ardumoto shield, you have to break that out into two different numbers: direction and speed. To do that, I simply check to see if my number is positive. If so, I change the direction of both motors to 1. If the number is negative, then I just set both motor directions to 0. All I have to do after that is get the absolute value of the number and use it as my basic PWM value for both motors. I say "basic PWM value" because it's not actually what gets sent to both motors, instead a turn-rate is subtracted from one side.
To find my turn-rate and apply it, I map the side-to-side direction of the control stick to a number between -255 and 255, with the former representing a full turn to the left and the latter representing a full turn to the right. After I have that number, I find out which motor to apply it to. The way this works is by slowing down the motor on the side that we want to turn toward. This method will never produce a zero-radius turn, but it works reasonably well. Again I check to see whether my number is negative. If so, I subtract the absolute value of the turn-rate from the left motor's speed. If it's positive, I subtract the absolute value of the turn-rate from the right motor's speed.
There are obviously other ways to implement differential steering; with a little more code you could reverse the appropriate motor and turn in place. Also, this code doesn't steer the way you might expect when driving in reverse. At any rate, this should get you started with Radio Control robots, and I hope that you've been inspired to grab a hobby transmitter for your next robot project!
Happy hacking!
Use the interrupt luke:
(well, my code was easier but too long to be here so…)
can you help me can you program me on 4 channel 1 channel is to manual en automation en 1 channel for gas servo 1 channel for rudder can you help mee email@example.com
Here my code: https://github.com/lestofante/arduinoSketch/tree/master/ClassPPM The code read the PPM on pin 2,4,5,6 and put in in a array. The value can be retrived with inputs.getDuration(X) where X is the POSITION IN THE ARRAY, witch is set in the ISR in InputPin.cpp
I think it would be useful to mention in this tutorial how to read the rc receiver using interrupts on the arduino. Reading them through the pulsein function works but is really not the quickest method.
Many thanks!! ..
maybe not the fastest one.. but can't be more simple… :D now i can use my FS-i6 to drive my bluetooth RC drift car :D
by the way i replace the 25000 with 30000 now the readings without (not so) random 0
If you are going crazy with using 3 or more channels. Don't worry, I got you. If the serial console shows just some of the channels and all the wiring on your Arduino is correct, probably your problem will be solved just below. I came up with a nice reception of 6 channels by using the function this way: pulseIn(13, HIGH); By deleting this, by default Arduino uses a 1sec timeout. (very annoying but useful & gives you an idea…). With this info in mind and this reference https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/PulseIn I bet you can solve the problem.
Hint: Its something involved with the timeout and PWM generated with your reciver :D
Another solution is using @JamestheQuack method.(scroll down , don't be lazy)
// it works only 1 servo …why not 2 servo work properly…i just modify the code average valu for servo jliter
void Servo_Control1(){ int Pos1; inputPina = pulseIn(42, HIGH, 25000); // /Servo 2 Pos1 = map(inputPina, 1000, 2000, 0, 180); //center over zero Pos1 = constrain(Pos1, 0, 170);
totala = totala - readingsa[readIndexa]; readingsa[readIndexa] = Pos1; totala = totala + readingsa[readIndexa]; readIndexa = readIndexa + 1; if (readIndexa >= numReadingsa) { // …wrap around to the beginning: readIndexa = 0; }
averagea = totala/ numReadingsa; Serial.println(averagea); myservo1.write(averagea); delay(1); }
void Servo_Control2(){ int Pos2;
inputPinb = pulseIn(44, HIGH, 25000); // /Servo 2 Pos2 = map(inputPinb, 1000, 2000, 0, 180); //center over zero Pos2 = constrain(Pos2, 0, 170);
totalb = totalb - readingsb[readIndexb]; readingsb[readIndexb] = Pos2; totalb = totalb + readingsb[readIndexb]; readIndexb = readIndexb + 1; if (readIndexb >= numReadingsb) { // …wrap around to the beginning: readIndexb = 0; }
averageb = totalb / numReadingsb; Serial.println(averageb); myservo2.write(averageb); delay(1); }
im following ur code … but im using flysky th9x reciver my problem is when i add pen til servo on it … it only work 1 servo … why dont i use 2 servo same time
is it possible to make an arduino have wireless controls or does all that come from the receiver? i have a arduino that has 22 channels on it and i want to get it to go wireless but i dont know of any receivers that have 22 or more channels. can i just make the board have a built in receiver?
Hello. I am working on an electric bus project and I have been using a joystick connected to a motor controller to control the dc motors on the prototype. However, I want to control the motors now using a RC remote and an arduino to control the motors via the motor controller. I havent done this before and I am not sure which RC remote will be best for an application like this. The movements needed are for left,right, forward and backward. Can you please suggest a RC transmitter and receiver that will best be used with the Arduino. Thanks for the great work
could some one please help me with a pinout between the VNH2SP30 + Arduino UNO + RC Receiver (FrSky).
i could make the motors work with L293D but with this VNH2SP30 board i am totally lost.
want to use the code above…
appreciate your help…
Hey npoole thanks for posting this! It was very helpful. I couldn't find your code on Github (the git urls in prior comments were broken or for different libraries), so I posted your last block of code in my github account: https://github.com/mikezawitkowski/RCJoystickServoControl I'll keep adapting it for my own purposes so it will change considerably, but anyone who needs a fresh starting point can roll back and choose the very first committed file version. If you have a github repo or some other reference you want me to include in the attribution, just let me know!
Thanks I know this is an old article but here are my comments I will use this as a base for panic switch on an airplane. I will include an accelerometer in the circuit and code. In normal mode the signals from the receiver will pass through. When a signal is received on the "panic" channel the receiver signals will be suppressed and the input from the accelerometer will be converted to PWM and sent to the servos to bring the plane back to a stable flight
This code works when using the old Arduino IDEs like 1:1.0.5; it does not work using 1.6.5?! I noticed that it receives the first channel the code reads and returns 0 for the second channel. It also yields different ranges of PWM signals (or periods of time). Very strange. If you want to make use of this, and are being frustrated, hunt down an older IDE (until this gets fixed on the Arduino side). James
Look my recent comment, it appeals your problem !!
Hi, I have been trying to do this for months!! My problem, I am using a stepper motor, which I can control the speed using a 10k pot, and mapping the analog input from the pot to a range of 0 to 100. Can I map the digital input from the RC receiver in a similar fashion to control the speed? Remembering that my RC receiver is SINGLE direction only.
Hi, im new to arduino and i have a 6 channel rc system, so i want to control 3 motors that turns forwards and backwards , can someone help me please? i dont even know where to start hehe, thanks
This is really not the quickest method. This will for example not work for a quadcopter. It will only work for demo purposes. I have interrupt code working, but unfortunately for you, it is avr-gcc code which does not use arduino ide. Nontheless, it is part of my driver code for the multiwii board as part of the overall driver framework.
You can see the code here: https://github.com/mkschreder/martink/blob/master/boards/multiwii.c
HI. I have a model RC submarine and I am programming arduino to fire a few relays to manage the ballast system. I have don all this, but the whole purpose of this is to automate a dive and surface routine, and the issue I have is how to trigger the routine. I would like to quickly double click the transmitter joystick over, within say 250, and for this motion to turn on a subroutine. i am having great trouble coding this. Is there any help for this?
Hello, I wanted to ask if its possible to program raspirobot in C++ and from where can i get the libraries for this purpose. I only have found the python library so far.
Nick… Thank you… So much…
Hi: I took your guide and I'm doing basically the same. But the motor runs at half the speed. I mapped the input pulse from 1000,2000 (I added calibration feature so those values may change) to -500,500, tries with …,-255,255 but it still runs at barely half the speed.
I'm using a Nano and a L293B. Everything goes fine, direction, neutral, but the speed.
I'd appreciate any help. Robert
Whenever I have ran into a speed issue using PWM, it has been the PWM frequency that was set incorrectly. The reason your motor turns slowly while at 100% duty cycle is because the pulse, or Frequency is too looooooooooong of a period for 1 pulse. It needs a higher frequency resulting in a faster pulse (Shorter width at 100% duty) which will give you your speed.
Here is some code to change the frequency of Timer1 (Pins 9 + 10) on an ATmega32U4 based microcontroller (Leonardo, Pro Micro…) Code was adapted from the best tutorial on PWM I found here: http://r6500.blogspot.com/2014/12/fast-pwm-on-arduino-leonardo.html Code is for a pitching machine I repaired.

How would one reverse this? Is it possible to have just the receiver connected to the device and remotely sending the commands to it via RF or Bluetooth or something along those lines?
Ok maybe i am just stupid or something but were can i find/buy the radio receiver using in this project i can't find a link anywhere and have spent hours on spark fun website
Go to this website and there's some really cheap radios.
hi could you help me adapt this to the rover 5 and rover 5 motor controller with only two motors…tryed using it but got no movement from bot .. may be im wiring it wrong
is it possible to control a wheeled robot..actually a wall climbing robot based on suction mechanism…using this one..??? it got to move in all four directions..!!
What does "You'll need to use male-female jumpers if you have them. If not, you can use some male and female jumpers stuck together" mean?
This is such a great project. Someone was asking about a similar project on TechXchange last week: http://www.digikey.com/techxchange/thread/4150
I'd like to share with you a little mod on this code.
Connected to the Throttle / brake channel of the reciever, it will detect when you hold the brakes on your transmitter. Then it will turn ON the brake lights!
(a bit too simple, I know, but it was my first approach to Arduino)

Hi, The code presented here has a number of problems, I understand that it is simply an introductory example however for a solution that addresses the problems see here -
For those that mention it, it also uses interrupts although in the case of a slow moving robot pulseIn could work just as well - until you start adding additional inputs, encoders etc.
The link also allows correct proportional speed and steering in forwards and reverse and also allows rotation on the spot.

Using interrupts is better ! I made the same thing few month ago, in order to diagnose receivers outputs : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oY1-du-HGQY Then, I replaced the serial bridge in the 8u2 with an HID joystick one, so I can use my remote control as a joystick on any computer for virtual racing. It just requires some software flow control in the serial link between the 328p and the 8u2 to avoid buffer overflow.
I didn't see any mention of where to purchase or which reciever was used. (If it was mentioned in the code sections, I can't read them as they don't show completely in android.)
basically, i think they are refering to any hobby grade tx/rx system. but, as an avid RC'er, i would like to point out that even the the industry standard for the frequency is in the 2.4ghz range, pretty much EVERY radio manufacturer has their own proprietary system: i.e. Spektrum has DSM, Futaba has the FAAST and FHSS. this can make receiver buying a pricey ordeal, since there are very few aftermarket receivers for either the Spektrum or Futaba radios. your best bet for a decent 2.4 radio with pretty inexpensive receivers is to get a FlySky system. these are readily available through either hobbypartz.com or on hobbyking.com (on HK they are branded as hobbyking brand.)
ArduPPM is a quite mature RC PWM decoder system (developed as part of the ArduPilot project) and the source (in the ardupilot source repository) is quite useful to have a look at.
Also, if your RC receiver has a PPM output (and there are tutorials around on how to hack one in if it doesn't) that's even easier to read in, and you can get every channel using just one input pin on the arduino.
I can't get the sketches to compile.
sketch_may23a.cpp: In function 'void clearAndHome()': sketch_may23a.cpp:46:18: error: 'BYTE' was not declared in this scope
check the tutorial again. it's an error because you're using arduino 1.0. you have to set the variable as a byte first, then print it. removing that line allows it to work.
I don't know if the cost of two xbees and another Arduino would be more or less than buying an RC transmitter and receiver. (If you already HAVE an elcheapo RC TX and RX left over from a cheap toy that got smashed then no. But if you had to buy just the transmitter and receiver it might be a wash.) In my case I started with two Arduinos and two xbees. I tried to hook a joystick up to the analog inputs of one xbee and receive the output on the second but there was a HUGE time lag between moving the joystick and seeing the corresponding change on the receiver. One or both xbees were buffering a lot of data from the A/D converter. So I used one Arduino to perform the A/D on two channels and send the data (in binary) to the xbee to transmit. On the receiving end I did pretty much the same thing done here to control two motors except I didn't need to analyze pulse widths as the required number was figured on the transmit end. I was using the 900mhz xbee's BTW, we just thought we might get more range on the lower frequency and we didn't need the extra BW.
A 2.4GHz TX/RX package on another hobby website is ~$25. You don't need anything else to get wireless in to your project. I'm going to figure that the cost of two xbee's is going to be more than that, but I am not even going to check I am that confident.
XB has its uses, but for super-simple and cheap wireless control (not for getting any data back) you absolutely cannot beat hobby TX/RX for price and range.
with the xbee just try to force the flush of the output. There should be a command, if not, the buffer size should be 32 char… :)
a 6channel 2.4GHz RX/TX can be bought at 25$ (see hobbyking), it cannot carry data, but it is fast, with a long range, anti-collision, and steal low bandwidth.
Great tutorial, Do you have a movie to show how much is faster the communication between Arduino and the remote control? I was building something similar but over Wifi, I had some problems with my driver controller.

Riverside Military Academy welcomed a new addition to its campus Saturday, something it hasn't had since 2005: A home for the school president.
The new house is named after Abe Mitchell, a Riverside alumni and philanthropist, and has been dubbed "The Mitchell Quarters."
The house will be occupied by Riverside president and retired U.S. Marine colonel, Dr. Jim Benson, and his wife, Mary Benson.
Riverside Military Academy is located at the end of Riverside Drive in Gainesville. The house is located on Lake Warner Road, just before campus.
"The house has been planned for some time," Benson said.
According to Benson, having no officers living on campus became a matter of security and was a step the school needed to take.
"We have virtually new facilities since 2004," he said. "But we don't have any of the officers of the school living on campus, and we're a boarding school.
"There's some concern about that. You need your officers of the school (on campus). ... It was an investment that we needed to make, and so Mr. Mitchell stepped up and believed in what needed to be done, and was influential with the board of trustees. The board of trustees unanimously agreed it was the right thing to do."
Benson addressed a crowd of Riverside staff, cadets and parents before the house was officially opened. Mitchell joined him, and together, they cut the ribbon that guarded the front door to allow visitors to tour the house.
Mitchell said it was Benson's "exceptional leadership" that inspired him to do something to give back to Riverside in a big way.
"Jim Benson has given the academy extraordinary leadership," Mitchell said. "I've been talking with him over several years and contributing over several years.
"So he's been the initiator. We've talked about a year or so about this house. ... Several things are important about the house. Having a senior official on the campus is very important. Another reason is we were on of the few military schools that did not have senior personnel on campus."
Mitchell also said the house will bring a sense of home to the cadets as well.
Both men say the house will be used for activities for cadets and play host to social events. Mitchell said it could bring Riverside and the city of Gainesville closer together.
"It will also give Col. Benson an opportunity to relate more with the people from Gainesville. It gives him a venue to do that," Mitchell said.
Mitchell also explained the importance of challenging the Riverside family to match his initial $250,000 donation.
However the match had to be above and beyond the year's fundraising $1 million goal. If that were met, Mitchell said he would add another $250,000, bringing his grand total to $500,000 donated toward the home.
"The match is very important for several reasons," Mitchell said. "No. 1 is, I like to help. Item No. 2 is when people give a contribution, they then become a stakeholder, and they'll become interested.
"That's equally as important. The cash is obviously, certainly needed, but also the relationship of the stakeholder's is important."
According to Amanda Griffin, vice president for advancement at Riverside, the Riverside family has met Mitchell's challenge and raised $1.25 million.
"We now have our sights on matching Mr. Mitchell's next $250,000 gift," she said.
Fred Kennedy, a chairman of the Riverside board of trustees, said in a press release that the president's house is a public house for the academy, and will be the "focal point" for award ceremonies, entertainment of alumni and guest dinners at the academy.

Dear Forum,
How we can integrate my active directory with new fusion middle ware.
My requirement:
My Environment
Database : Oracle 11 G R2 EE License
Oracle Application server: Forms & Reports 11g Release 2
Active Directory : windows 2008 Server
I have done this configuration but using Oracle Identity Management 10.1.4.3, I think that Oracle is no longer supporting this but using OAM and OIM 11g has been a pain in the brain.
If you want to go with old version you would need, OIM 10.1.4 and the Patchset 10.1.4.3 for the SSO; besides OID 11g and your Forms & Reports 11gR2. It's a little complex scenario but Oracle is not helping either.

Amira Hass, writing in Haaretz, notes there is a tendency on the part of Israeli leaders to admit to minor mistakes, but immediately deny their troops did anything wrong, and, if they did, what about your mistakes! A soldier contacted Haaretz to deny a story from a Palestinian woman that IDf forces killed her husband and child, and added, the only mistake made by the IDA was to scrawl "stupid things on the wall, and that's really not right." If there are photo of civilians being killed in Gaza, the response is the photographs were doctored, if Judge Richard Goldstone was competent to work for the International Criminal Court on major cases in Yugoslavia or Rwanda, the truth is he is nothing but an anti-semite.
As Hass notes, "we Israelis continue thinking it's the world that is wrong, and only we who are right." Yes, that is the problem. The wise policy is to not just to admit mistakes, but to take immediate action to punish those who violated the rules of war –even before any UN investigation began.
The world frequently treats Israel in an unfair manner. But, that does not translate into Israel always being right.


text: Stack's Bowers - The August 2011 Chicago ANA World's Fair of Money Auction Lot #8204 1800 Draped Bust Half Dime. V-Unlisted (B-3 or V-3), LM-2, Breen-2975. Rarity-7+. Fine-12 (PCGS). PCGS 12 CAC N Description 1800 Draped Bust Half Dime. V-Unlisted (B-3 or V-3), LM-2, Breen-2975. Rarity-7+. Fine-12 (PCGS).This is the discovery coin of the variety and the only example of this variety that PCGS has certified. The color is a mix of light gray to silver on the obverse, the reverse with matching hues but a bit mottled with a splash of lighter gray on the upper half of that side. A dull nick on Liberty's cheek caused uneven wear on the reverse, a bit behind the ribbon as well on the rim on the dentils. The surfaces are otherwise quite clean for an early half dime, with a few minor pin lines and scuffs, but Liberty's portrait is clean and complete. The 8 of the date is perfectly formed, the only variety with this feature as a broken 8 punch was used on the other two known obverse dies for that year. The first star is very far from the curl, stars four to six are very close, the seventh star is far from the L. For the reverse, the lower leaf is attached to the left serif of the final A, this die was used for the LM-1, LM-2 and LM-3 variety of the year before it broke and was retired. To date, there are just five known examples of this variety, this being the second finest seen. The Condition Census for the variety is AU-58 (NGC); F-12 (PCGS)—the present coin; Fine raw sold privately August 2009 for $8,643; VG raw terminal die state; VG raw surface problems. Discovered by Walter Breen and reported in The Coin Collector's Journal in 1958, then sold in New Netherlands Straus sale of June 1959, Lot 438. A photo of the obverse of this coin was used for the Valentine reprint by Quarterman Publications in 1975. Despite considerable searching, this die variety remains one of the two rarest Draped Bust half dimes reported, tied with the 1801 LM-1 (V-3) with five known, most with problems. Remarkably the more recently discovered (Ed Price in 1994) 1800 LM-4 (V-4) has a total of 7 examples reported today and this trio represents the holy grail for variety collectors of this fascinating series.PCGS#: 38602Pedigree: From the Philip G.

At April 1 2004, the average gross salary for men and women was £18,890, with one-quarter of staff still earning £14,750 or less, figures released yesterday show.
The average salary for female civil servants compared to that of men's has decreased from 78.1% in 2003 to 75% last year, despite equal pay reviews concluded by civil service departments and agencies in 2003.
This compares to the pay gap in the rest of the public sector, which sees women earn 90% of the salary men take home, and casts doubt on the government's professed commitment to tackling pay inequality
The unresolved issue of equal pay has found a new lease of life recently, as MPs and even sectors of the business community are recognising the importance of pay parity across the gender divide.
In a bid to appease trade unions frustrated by the slow progress being made on this issue, the government last year set up the woman and work commission under Lady Prosser to examine the gender pay gap, which is due to report this summer.
MPs on the Department of Trade and Industry select committee have decided to pre-empt the report by carrying out their own investigations into "occupational segregation" which sees a dominance of men in certain better-paid jobs and of women in lower-paid occupations.
The perennial issue of pay inequality is also a key plank of the Trades Union Congress' s submission to next month's budget, in which it calls for "funding flexibility" so that ministers can "implement equal pay and other negotiated settlements" within their own departments.
Business also joined the equal pay bandwagon today, by calling on the government to do more to encourage companies to conduct equal pay audits to ensure there is no discrimination against women.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) claimed today there was a "huge" lack of awareness among employers about equal pay.
It said the government should work with employers to "change mindsets" and to make sure they recognised the business benefits of paying women the same as men.
Firms were also encouraged to involve line managers in pay and benefits policies to make sure money was not being wasted.
Fewer than a third of firms involved line managers in developing pay strategies, research for the CIPD found. Charles Cotton, the CIPD reward adviser, said: "Reward is becoming more and more important in helping employers compete in the war for talent, as unemployment is so low.
"Many employers are recognising that non-financial rewards, such as family-friendly work policies, are just as important as wages and bonuses."

Dirk Nowitzki has been content in allowing Monta Ellis to flourish as the Dallas Mavericks' leading scorer through the first five games of the season.
The veteran forward, though, hasn't completely stepped into the background and may need to assert himself against another of the NBA's best big men Friday night when the Mavs visit Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
While Ellis has added an explosive element to the Dallas offense that was missing since the Steve Nash era, Nowitzki has also been solid with 19.4 points per game while hitting 10 of his 19 3-point attempts.
Ellis is averaging 24.0 points during a 3-2 start for Dallas, which has been led in scoring by Nowitzki for 13 straight seasons. The last player other than the big German to lead the Mavs in scoring was Michael Finley in 1999-2000 - Nowitzki's second season in the league.
The steady play of Ellis, Shawn Marion (13.6 ppg) and Jae Crowder (10.6 ppg) has certainly eased the scoring burden on the 35-year-old Nowitzki after a 2012-13 season in which he missed the first 27 games following knee surgery.
Signed to a three-year deal in July, Ellis' attacking style has been paying off. He's shooting 51.9 percent from the field and has had two games with at least 30 points and eight assists - both victories.
"I think being aggressive opened everything up for us as a team," Ellis told the NBA's official website. "I've just got to continue to attack and make the right plays."
Ellis had 20 points in a 107-93 loss at Oklahoma City on Wednesday in the second game of a back-to-back. His aggressive play, however, did result in seven of the team's 21 turnovers, which led to 23 points for the Thunder.
"I mean, 23 points off turnovers on the road is going to be really hard to overcome," coach Rick Carlisle said after his team dropped the opener of a three-game trip. "And then we got beat on the boards (44-36) and we just didn't play well enough. It's a disappointing night, but we've got to get ready for the next one."
Crowder and Marion added 17 points each, while Nowitzki finished with 16.
Ellis and Nowitzki may need to keep the offense clicking against the Timberwolves (3-2), who were explosive during a 3-0 start before falling off a bit in the last two games.
Minnesota averaged 109.6 points in victories over Orlando, Oklahoma City and New York before dropping to 92.5 during its two-game skid.
Love, who missed most of last season with a broken hand, has been dominant through five games, averaging 26.2 points and 11.0 rebounds while also earning Western Conference player of the week honors along the way.
The Wolves' recent sluggish play has coincided with a minor slump for point guard Ricky Rubio, who had at least 10 assists in the opening three victories before averaging just six in the two losses.
Love had 25 points, 16 rebounds and six assists in a 106-93 loss to Golden State on Wednesday. Kevin Martin added 23 points for Minnesota, which shot 37.8 percent and turned the ball over 19 times. Rubio had seven points on 2-for-8 shooting with four turnovers.
"We have to find a way to keep things going and be more productive," said coach Rick Adelman.
The series has been relatively even over the last few seasons, with the Wolves winning four of the last seven after dropping 18 of the previous 19.
Mavericks forward Vince Carter won't play Friday, having been suspended one game without pay for throwing an elbow and making contact with the head of Thunder center Steven Adams on Wednesday.

On Friday, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow accurately blamed a bill enacted in 1999 for today's financial crisis, but in so doing exclusively pointed accusatory fingers at its Republican sponsors while totally ignoring the overwhelming Democrat support it received in both Chambers of Congress.
Maybe even more egregious, she chose not to address it being signed into law by President Bill Clinton until a guest inconveniently brought it up.
Of course, NewsBusters has been apprising readers about the significance of the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (aka Gramm-Leach-Bliley) for many months, including articles on the subject here and here.
With this in mind, despite Maddow's supposed intellectual prowess, she's not only extremely late to this party, but she also apparently thinks only the sponsors of a bill are responsible for its content and not those that vote for or eventually sign it into law (video part I embedded right, part II below the fold with partial transcript):
RACHEL MADDOW, HOST: The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 was introduced by three Republicans, Gramm, Leach, and Bliley. It repealed the wall that had been put up in the Great Depression, a wall that kept investment banks separate from commercial banks, separate from insurance firms and so on. When that wall got torn down, we ended up with big, hybrid, complicated, uber financial everything companies that we couldn`t have had before. That`s how Citibank ended up eating Travelers Group Insurance to change from Citibank into Citigroup, which just happened to be completely impossible to regulate.
All of a sudden, with these new, uber, giant, complicated, hybrid firms, the Wall Street cops, the regulators, they were essentially still on horseback while the robbers, the guys trying to get away with anything to make a buck, they were in spaceships. So, we had robbers in spaceship and cops on horseback.
Yes, this was introduced by three Republicans. However, what Maddow conveniently ignored is that it passed the Senate by a vote of 90-8 with 38 Democrats saying "Yea"; it passed in the House 362-57 with 153 Democrats saying "Yea".
To be more specific, in the Senate this bill was supported by high-profile Democrats such as Evan Bayh, Joe Biden, Robert Byrd, Tom Daschle, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Diane Feinstein, Ernest Hollings, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Mary Landrieu, Pat Leahy, Carl Levin, Joe Lieberman, Daniel Moynihan, Harry Reid, Paul Sarbanes, and Chuck Schumer.
In the House, the bill was supported by high-profile Democrats such as David Bonior, Sherrod Brown, James Clyburn, Elijah Cummings, Harold Ford, Dick Gephardt, Steny Hoyer, Sheila Jackson-Lee, William Jefferson, John Murtha, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, Charles Rangel, Debbie Stabenow, Ellen Tauscher, and Bob Wexler.
With this in mind, why did Maddow only point fingers at the three Republican sponsors? Maybe more importantly, why didn't she mention that it was signed into law by Bill Clinton who could have vetoed it and survived an override attempt if Democrats backed him?
Of course, she actually didn't mention Clinton's involvement. That was only revealed when her guest David Cay Johnston brought it up likely much to Maddow's disappointment.
In the end, I congratulate Maddow for at least informing her viewers about this important piece of legislation, and how critical its passage was in causing the current financial crisis.
However, her exclusively blaming this on three Republicans is a shameful attempt to shelter high-ranking Democrats -- including the current Speaker of the House, the Senate Majority Leader, and the Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee -- from responsibility.
Additionally, it is preposterous to exclusively accuse this bill for Glass Steagall's demise. After all, the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 was actually the first law enacted to remove some of Glass Steagall's regulations. This was sponsored by Democrat Rep. Fernand St. Germain (D-RI.), passed in the House 367-39, passed in the Senate 76-9, and was signed into law by Jimmy Carter.
Two years later, the Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act deregulated savings and loans. It passed in the House by a margin of 272-91, and cleared the Senate with amendments by a simple voice vote.
Add it all up, and for twenty years, Republicans and Democrats in the legislative and executive branches of our government have been steadily unwinding Glass Steagall regulations.
To blame it on only three Republicans is a disgusting farce.
Nice job, Rachel.
RACHEL MADDOW, HOST: There would be no outrage about AIG bonuses if AIG hadn`t need bailing out, right? I mean, sure, people get mad at fat cats with high salaries when everyone else is broke. But if the fact that this company was using our money, the taxpayers money, to pay those bonuses that caused the entire country to grind our teeth down to their nubbins, to rage at these guys. So, there would be no rage about AIG turning taxpayer bailout dollars into executive bonuses if there hadn`t been a bailout. AIG wouldn`t have needed bailing out if it weren`t too big to fail, too integral to all the parts of the financial industry. AIG wouldn`t have become too big to fail if they hadn`t become a big, hybrid, complicated uber financial everything company that made all sorts of arcane financially-engineered moves that got them squirreled into every financially-related business that you can think of.
AIG wouldn`t have become a big, hybrid, complicated, uber financial everything company if there hadn`t been -- and this is key -- deregulation of Wall Street that allowed firms to get like that. And massive deregulation of Wall Street wouldn`t have happened without a rise of a political movement that preached regulation was inherently evil and deregulation was inherently wise and virtuism would make everyone rich and there will be free, well-behaved puppies for every family.
If you want an example of how this deregulation thing worked, you can totally use this at the high school dance or a bar or whatever to try to impress someone. Somebody starts complaining about the bailout, complaining about AIG, you tell them -- actually, the real villain is Gramm-Leach Bliley. Just say it with total confidence. Watch. You will get dates.
Here`s how to explain it. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 was introduced by three Republicans, Gramm, Leach, and Bliley. It repealed the wall that had been put up in the Great Depression, a wall that kept investment banks separate from commercial banks, separate from insurance firms and so on. When that wall got torn down, we ended up with big, hybrid, complicated, uber financial everything companies that we couldn`t have had before. That`s how Citibank ended up eating Travelers Group Insurance to change from Citibank into Citigroup, which just happened to be completely impossible to regulate.
All of a sudden, with these new, uber, giant, complicated, hybrid firms, the Wall Street cops, the regulators, they were essentially still on horseback while the robbers, the guys trying to get away with anything to make a buck, they were in spaceships. So, we had robbers in spaceship and cops on horseback.
All right. So, if talking about Gramm-Leach-Bliley doesn`t get you a date or at least admiring glances from your peers, drop one of this on then -- the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000. That one said that certain things that financial companies do to spread their risk around, to keep their balance sheets looking good even when they`re make hugely risky deals, these are things like credit default swaps and collateralized debt obligations. You`ve heard these terms, right?
This legislation decided that those things, those risk-hiding things would be completely exempt from regulation -- completely exempt. They would not be regulated. So, from a cops and robbers perspective, that`s like saying, OK, now it`s legal to wear a ski mask and carry a gun inside a bank, oh, and driving a getaway car is legal now, too. How would you like to be a cop in that town?
Deregulation laws like Gramm-Leach-Bliley and the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, these were pushed as great ideas to get the horrible burden of government regulation off of Wall Street. The horrible burden of regulation was lifted off of Wall Street, and then Wall Street proceeded to self-destruct. Now it`s time to start over, and maybe this time, avoid the same mistakes?
Joining us now is Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter, David Cay Johnston. He`s the author of "Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enriched Themselves at Government Expense and Stick You with the Bill."
Mr. Johnston, thanks for joining us tonight. Nice to see you.
DAVID CAY JOHNSTON, PULITZER PRIZE WINNING REPORTER: Thank you, Rachel.
MADDOW: Everyone on Capitol Hill is trying to blame each other for the AIG bonuses. Do you think it`s possible that this instead could be a teaching moment about why we own AIG in the first place? What went wrong? Do you think it`s time to start teaching about regulation and deregulation?
JOHNSTON: Well, I certainly hope so because, otherwise, this will continue to happen. People will take unwarranted risks. You know, the reason we have regulation is not for people who behave it`s for when people misbehave. And if you believe what the banking community said, then let`s follow it to its logical conclusion.
Why don`t we save a lot of money as taxpayers by getting rid of traffic lights and stop signs and the speed limits because we`re all responsible drivers, we don`t need to be regulated and traffic will flow smoothly, right?
MADDOW: What could possibly go wrong? Yes.
Well, do you think that the people who argued for deregulation of Wall Street in the first place feel at all chastened by what has happened since? Have you seen any signs of penance? Any sign that they are changing their minds?
JOHNSTON: No. And I would be somewhat surprised if they did, because this was done with a lot of ideological fervor. But I don`t think that`s the important part, Rachel. I think the important part is that the American public recognize that this was a terrible policy mistake. It`s costing us dearly and we should correct that mistake by going back to what has worked for decades and decades -- which is sound, reasonable restraint when people are dealing with the money you and I put into -- from our paychecks into the bank or into the insurance company or anywhere else.
MADDOW: Is there a problem, though, that so many people who are considered to be experts in this field are people who have Wall Street experience, and so, we don`t have -- essentially an adversarial enough relationship between the proverbial cops and the proverbial robbers in this field?
JOHNSTON: Well, certainly, you need people who have expertise. But it is, I think, a little troubling that the Obama administration has gone back to people who were supporters of these ideas or at least allowed them to happen. Remember, it was President Clinton who signed both of the bills which...
MADDOW: That`s right.
JOHNSTON: ...I loved your description of it, I thought that was brilliant. They are the ones who are running the shop. The rules that we need are not terribly complicated to impose, separate retail banking, investment banking and insurance. Don`t allow people to borrow with excessive levels of risk, the same thing as not allowing people to buy houses with no money down or borrowing more than the price of the house.
MADDOW: Who are going to be the roadblocks to re-regulation or towards, I guess, reinstating the old regulations or whatever they are going to call this in order to make it politically sellable -- who do you think is going be the opposition in Congress?
JOHNSTON: Well, whoever Wall Street is financing. I think that Representative Cantor from Virginia has shown himself to be one of the champions of whatever Wall Street wants, lower tax rates, no regulation. Those people who would rely on for their campaign contributions on those people who make money when the regulators are not around, or -- as you put it -- the cops are only on horseback.
MADDOW: David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter -- thank you for your time tonight. You have a way of making this stuff understandable. Nice to see you.
JOHNSTON: Thank you, Rachel.

Creating an advertisement campaign for your business that is successful and cost-effective means putting in the time and effort in the beginning to plan well in advance. The research that you will need to carry out will give you crucial information that will help you to create an advertisement that will grab the attention of your target audience and get them to take the action you are aiming for. There are a few essential steps that will help you to create an advertisement that will achieve the results you need to get your business to where you want it to be.
Start by describing your target audience. You can't sell to someone you know nothing about. And no matter how brilliant your product or service is, there is no way to make it appeal to every single person in the same way. Pick one type of person to aim your advertisement at, and make detailed notes on who this person is. This will give you the information you need to make your advertisement irresistible to your target market. Make a note on the gender, age group, the area in which they live, what they do for a living, what their family life is like.
It may seem narrow, but by creating one specific person as your target market, you are honing your aim and making it more effective. Make a note of what they like to do for enjoyment – what hobbies do they have? Do they have children? If so what schools do they attend? What hobbies do the children have? Where to they go on holiday? What kind of movies and music do they like. Every bit of information is giving you clues to what you will need to include in your advertisement as well as where you will need to advertise in order to reach your target market.

Basic Tools
There are 4 basic tools every car builder needs to have..
1) A camera to take pictures of cars..now I am not talking about the neat car show pictures..I am talking about pictures of construction details that can show how something was done..
These are also a big help to the guys here as those pictures can show just what is being worked on..so you get better answers..
2) A interesting device called a tape measure..measure that thing..do you want to know if that seat fits your interior..well measure it..will that chassis go under your body..well??
Using a tape one can tell one a lot about what fits and where..
3) A note pad..take notes..lots of them..that way one can remember just where something was seen or what size was it..will it fit the current project..

WOW! It's the big one (clutching chest and slumping to the floor in excruciating pain)! I don't think I can stand this much common sense being spewed in a single post!! Follow these 4 recommendations and half the threads would instantly disappear off this board!! I would sorely miss that great question, " how long is the bolt I am holding in my hand as I type this post with the other hand?"
the best ones are "how do you remove rust" my answer is "type this question on a bulletin board and magically it will disappear" amazing what good ol' fashioned sand paper and naval jelly will do.... hmmmm.......
one more tool please....
use the friggin phone....call the manufacturer and ask....what to buy ....otherwise it's your choice, your problem!
questions to clarify/agree/disagree after the phone call fine....

Tool number five would be a manual. I just look at how many times someone has spent $500+, sometimes thousands of dollars and then they're on here asking something that is in a $15 manual.
As a total and complete newbie I am dumbfounded that you guys have had to point this out but I 10000% agree.
I refuse to touch my project until I've read all the manuals and bits, measured everything, taken a photo or two of everything, written it all down, and then done it again.
then I'll probably bug all you guys in here some more just to be on the safe side
You MUST be new. Wait until you have read your 1000th, "How much horsepower will my . . . have" and you will become as jaded as we are.
If having my passion for hotrods released from its cage for about a week now counts as new then yes I am.
I can completely appreciate your positions though. Oh - and a newbie comment - some of your articles/journal entries have been awesome for information willys36.

Expensive Hospitals Aren't Any Better
The good news about health-care spending continues. In the first nine months of this fiscal year, Medicare spending increased only 1.2 percent in nominal terms, and for 2014, it's now projected to be $1,000 lower per beneficiary than the Congressional Budget Office said it would be as recently as 2010. Even the Medicare trustees are starting to recognize that something big may be happening.
In evaluating the recent deceleration, however, a crucial question remains: Can slower cost growth continue without harming the quality of outcomes?
Jack Wennberg, emeritus professor of the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, has spent his career suggesting the answer is yes, because costs vary substantially across the U.S. in ways not correlated with quality. The Wennberg view, reflected in the ongoing work of the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care, suggests we are on the "flat of the curve" for spending. Even though some level of health-care spending is beneficial to improve outcomes, we are already beyond that point in the U.S., so slowing cost growth need not hurt quality of care.
The Wennberg/Dartmouth argument has been challenged over the years -- including by research from Joseph Doyle and Jonathan Gruber of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, John Graves of Vanderbilt University and Samuel Kleiner of Cornell University. The Doyle study was cleverly designed, taking advantage of the reality that patients who live very close to one another but straddle an ambulance-dispatch boundary tend to wind up at different hospitals. Living on one side or the other of a boundary street can be very close to being randomly assigned to a hospital. That allows researchers to compare what happens when similar patients are treated in high-cost and low-cost hospitals.
Doyle and team thus examined Medicare data on emergency patients from New York state and found that patients who were taken to higher-cost hospitals had noticeably lower one-year mortality rates than people taken to lower-cost hospitals.
One problem with the Doyle study, however -- as I have previously noted -- was that it included only emergency patients, who accounted for only about 5 percent of the admissions (and less than 10 percent of total costs) at the relevant hospitals. So it was not a body blow to the Dartmouth work; it merely showed that for certain types of emergency care, higher-cost hospitals seem to deliver better results -- and even then, only up to a point.
Now, Doyle and colleagues have completed a new study. Again using the pattern of ambulance company assignments to compare outcomes, Doyle 2 found a strong correlation between spending on in-patient stays and patient survival. This time, though, the researchers expanded their analysis to other types of spending, and they found a negative relationship between spending after hospital discharge and survival rates -- great enough to cancel out the positive relationship between hospital spending and survival. Ultimately, Doyle 2 found "no association between total one-year spending and patient outcomes."
The new Doyle view is consistent with the Wennberg thesis and with research from the Institute of Medicine indicating that the substantial variation in Medicare costs across the U.S. cannot reliably be linked to variation in quality. The institute's report also suggested the principal driver of such variation was not hospitals but rather post-acute-care services -- such as skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation facilities, home-health services and hospices. Were it not for this regional variation in post-acute care, the overall Medicare spending variation would be 73 percent less. It was precisely these services where Doyle and team found a negative association between spending and outcomes.
Doyle 2 and the Institute of Medicine report underscore the potential to achieve substantial savings in Medicare without harming beneficiaries -- even if most of those opportunities exist in post-acute settings. And that view seems conservative to me, given that most hospital managers I speak with say they can achieve meaningful savings within their own walls without harming quality.
What's needed is a payment system that provides stronger financial incentives to pursue better value -- and squeezes costs where possible without worsening care. To reap the benefits of the ongoing deceleration in health costs, the U.S. health-care system needs a clearer path away from fee-for-service payment and toward fee-for-value.

So does putting the chopped off hair and skinny body in a black bikini on the beach, fix all of the "yikes" issues that Anne Hathaway has had with appearance lately? Eh, not really. It looks like someone took her character from LES MISERABLES and gave her a vacation in the Caribbean or something. I guess she looks better than in those shots of her on the LES MISERABLES set from a few weeks back, but all this weight she's lost in the last couple years is doing a terrible number on her - specifically her formally fantastically bewbs. I really lament the loss of those, as they were, for a time, some of my favorites. Please stop taking parts that demand you starve yourself out of a rack, Anne. We all want our beautifully-chested hottie back.
Check out this latest shot of Anne as Catwoman in Total Film this month for some nicer views of her. Although Catwoman needs to work on her trigger discipline, unless she wants to put a slug in her thigh.

Album Review
Back in the '70s and '80s, multiplatinum rock artists were a dime a dozen. These days, however, rock acts that manage to move even 1 million units have become a rare exception, not the regular rule. Chris Daughtry has been one of only a handful of rockers in the last decade to accomplish that feat, with the Season 5 American Idol alum's first three albums selling more than 20 million units worldwide and another 53 million individual tracks since his self-titled debut in 2006.
Early on, Daughtry's gruff voice and post-grunge, modern rock sound rightfully earned comparisons to contemporaries such as Nickelback and Three Days Grace. On Baptized, however, '80s arena-rock influences such as Bon Jovi, Def Leppard and Journey rise to the surface amid smoothly produced, radio-ready anthems and ballads—songs that will have listeners of a certain age digging through their old acid-washed jeans in search of forgotten lighters to hoist aloft when Daughtry and Co. come to town.
Fortunately, Daughtry's lyrics remain a lot more positive and significantly less sexed up than most of the '80s rock gods to which his band's fourth album pays musical homage. But I'm afraid I will still have to come back to that whole lighter thing in a minute.

Spiritual Content

Violent Content
Crude or Profane Language
Drug and Alcohol Content
Other Negative Elements
Pro-social Content
"Witness" encourages those muddling through not to give up and to remember, "You are not alone." "I'll Fight" believes in and defends a struggling friend during a dark time ("Never let the darkness hold you back/ … I wanna see you fly/Way beyond the sun/Anything you're ever gonna dream/I pray that it will come/ … Any place, any time/You gotta know, for you I'll fight").
"Battleships" describes an explosive, conflict-cratered relationship ("And I don't wanna fight this war/Bullets coming off our lips/But we stick to our guns, and we love like battleships") but then affirms reconciliation after all the metaphorical bombs go off ("Show me you care/I got my white flag up and it's waving/'Cause you know this love's worth saving, baby"). Likewise, "Broken Arrows" is the word picture Daughtry uses to describe a couple's barbs, even as he realizes, "There's gotta be a better way" to work through their war.
A lonely woman on "Waiting for Superman" nevertheless holds out hope for a "super" man to swoop in and save her. "The World We Knew" reminisces about the past and praises a couple's perseverance through change ("Everything was different/But we're still here"). Similarly, "High Above the Ground" recalls a couple's different backgrounds, then looks forward to their permanent future together ("I see the future in your eyes/Forever and always, you and I").
Since the title track appropriates the spiritual imagery of baptism to describe a man's main squeeze, it could be read as sacrilegious. It can also be seen as illuminating the spiritual picture God first painted about how the love of a man and a woman point us back to our relationship with our Creator. "It's safe to say I'm lost/Without you in my arms," Chris sings, "So I call your name and I pray you might/Come and watch over me like the pale moonlight/ … Take me down, take me down by the water, water/Pull me in until I see the light/ … I wanna be baptized." Later in this decidedly Bon Jovi-esque tune, Daughtry says of his love, "'It feels like grace every time you're near."
Objectionable Content
Mildly suggestive lyrics turn up on "Baptized," as Daughtry sings, "Let me drown, let me drown, in you, honey, honey/ … And the days and nights are cold/Without your body to hold." (I should note that Chris is happily married, but fans may not be.)
"Wild Heart" recalls when a woman indulged her wild side ("They called you the devil's daughter, such a pretty liar"). Similarly, "18 Years" rewinds the clock as Daughtry calls up his own reckless early years ("We were young, we were wild") while reminiscing over drinks with a compatriot ("Sit down with an old friend/Like time it never stopped/From the cradle to the coffin/We drink until we drop"). And Daughtry also says of his lady, "You were smokin' like a cigarette, I couldn't breathe/Used to rock around the ballroom, dance on the bar."
"Traitor" metaphorically imagines a betrayal as someone pulling a trigger. "Long Live Rock & Roll" glowingly name-drops a multitude of '80s and '90s bands, many of which became famous for songs with lots of problems, including Mötley Crüe, Guns N' Roses, Hole and Def Leppard. Daughtry sings, "So won't you help me pour some sugar/On these memories tonight?/Throw your lighters up/And, darling, sing with me tonight."
Summary Advisory
Throughout his career, Chris Daughtry's lyrics have often waded into the messy reality that life and love can be difficult, discouraging and conflict-strewn endeavors. But those struggles almost never have the final word. Indeed, we rarely have to wait long in a Daughtry song before he responds to those challenges with exhortations to keep trying, keep praying, keep confessing and keep moving toward a brighter future with those we love.
As has been the case with Daughtry's previous releases, a handful of minor missteps need to be navigated here, such as the tracks that romanticize (and arguably minimize) his self-described "wild" youth. Still, you'll be hard-pressed to find a mainstream rock album that's as consistently upbeat, optimistic and hopeful as Baptized is. Don't stop believin', I guess you could say it tells us, as we keep livin' on a prayer.

Heathrow T5 at 9.40 pm is a ghost town. There are five people in the giant BA lounge, and all the food is being cleared away. I have never flown out so late before, and the whole airport is strangely empty. I am on the third-to-last flight of the night; the last one is at 10.40 pm which, as a relatively local resident, I have to say is late enough. After mine, there is just Abuja and Tel Aviv, then nothing till 6.15 am.
I am glad to see my Blackberry has survived being cleansed with a makeup remover wipe, after I read a DISGUSTING article by Carol Midgley ("For all our sakes, wash your hands" subscribers only) in the Times today about the spreading of diseases – the article was inspired by the release of the film Contagion. It makes me not want to touch anything, and I am revolted when the woman in the seat next to mine starts coughing.

Great light source with extra mag feature
Your review: This lamp is very useful at a decent price. Its quite plasticy but has metal internals that help it get the job done. The three bulbs do get hot but that's expected.
Photos: http://imgur.com/a/0Q3y8
Pros: Value for price is good. Lens and adjustment is good. Brightness is great, and the clamp while cheap grips well. Bulbs are replaceable.
Cons: Feels cheap, joints are stiff and not smooth. Gets warm to hot during extended use.
Excellent Product
Your review: Got this for may birthday. Used for making models using very small parts. Easy to set up. Easy to position as needed. Good amount of light and magnification. Tilting magnifying lens is a real plus. Optics are very good. Good price. Haven't experienced any negatives. I would recommend this product to anyone.
Just what I needed!
Your review: I purchased this lamp because I do a lot of scroll saw work, which needs to be very accurate. This magnifying lamp is perfect for this, for it not only has a wide glass to look though, the 3 light bulbs give your work plenty of light. It is also very well made, and I can see using this for many years to come.

Grails have the concept of Plugins. If you're learning how the framework work it's really interesting to spend some time understanding this topic. The framework itself has a set o plugins that's already available for you.
If you're using GGTS / STS, you can use ctrl + shift + T and type *GrailsPlugin*. Sometimes when I want to know how some aspect of Grails works, I try to find the plugin responsible for that.
Finding the Plugin
In this specific case, we have I18NGrailsPlugin. If you look at the source you can see the declaration of the messageSource bean.
So we can extend PluginAwareResourceBundleMessageSource and declare this as our messageSource and declare the Spring Bean:
But doing that we have a problem: all attributes that I18NGrailsPlugin had setup aren't configured in our class! Without basenames properly set our class don't know the existence of the properties files.
There are two options to solve our issue:
#1 – Duplicate code
We can duplicate the I18NGrailsPlugin code, setting up the properties of the ExposedKeysMessageSource class. But this is bad, what if the configuration code changes? We need to always check Grails updates to be up-to-date.
#2 – Hook the messageSource configuration
What if I tell you that we can use the configuration made by the i18n plugin, but using our customized class? Certainly better.
And already exists an example, the Tomcat JDBC Pool Plugin. The aim of this plugin is to change the pool implementation used by Grails to the Tomcat JDBC (ships with Tomcat 7), and all this is made in the doWithSpring closure. So, adapting to us:
Note that we don't need to re-declare messageSource anymore, since we already changed the original Spring Bean configuration.
What's next?
So now we know all possible i18n keys, that's great, but how can we transform this in JavaScript? A common pattern of transformation in server data to the client side is the JSON. If you already saw Grails converters you remember that it's already there! This conversion to JSON and XML is also made by a core Grails plugin, the ConvertersGrailsPlugin. To organize our code, we can do that inside a service:
But note also that I used a new method called getAllProperties. Here's the updated code of our MessageSource:
Now, all we need is to parse this String in a JavaScript variable. The script can be attached through TagLib, or <r:script> tag or event a controller that returns the content type text/javascript. I will go with the last one to show you what we can do with Grails controllers:
And with that we are ready to use our internationalization in JavaScript 🙂

English as a Second Language (ESL) in BUSD
March 2009
Does anyone has the experience or knows how do the Berkeley elementry public schools handling new students (5th and 2nd grade) that speak very little English? Do they have a special class for ESL? Do they offer any help with it? Thanks! anon
As a former BUSD teacher and parent of BUSD students...Most newer teachers are required to be CLAD certified, which means they have taken classes in how to accommodate students for whom English is a second language. This involves things such as using more visual aids and defining of vocabulary. In high school there are some separate ELL and SDAIE classes (I taught such classes for science). You didn't mention what their primary language is. I looked at placing my son in the Spanish immersion program at Thousand Oaks Elementary. We were told that the first part of the kindergarten day is conducted entirely in Spanish with the afternoon (Science and History oriented activities) in English. This was awhile back so I would contact them to see if that is still the case. Otherwise, there are not supposed to be ''pull out'' classes for non-English speakers at the elementary level. However, there are volunteer tutors that might be able to help one on one for reading, etc.
