On August 21, 2009 at approx. 1:30 p.m. our darling little guy passed away. Our hearts will be forever broken.
Well here I go again. Looks like I'm not getting any better. I am having rough time breathing still. When mom came home at noon yesterday to check on me my tongue was blue so she grabbed me up an took me back to those people again. By the time we got there I was so weak I couldn't even protest when they tried to pick me up an take me from my momma. I had to have some xrays and then they kept me and put an IV in my little paw. My mom came and held me for a bit an told me bye and made the tech. there with me cry.
I miss my mom but she called the vet a couple hours later to check on me and I was feeling alittle better but the vet said I still had crackles in my lungs. But this time I showed her what I thought of all this. I bared my teeth and tried my best to grab but she was just too fast.
Mom says I have to loose weight now but little does she know I will throw a big fit if I don't get my cheese. We will know more after the vet checks my heart with her ultrasound machine. I can't wait to go home and play with my little mouse and squeeky pig. I don't like having to stay in this place with all these strange people. I want my mom and dad and furbrother Luke to come get me. I want to thank my fur pals here at dogster for their prayers I appreciate it very much. Hopefully I will be home soon and feeling much better.
Teddy (fuzzy) Bear
Well I have had enough of the Vet for awhile. I had to go back again yesterday cause my cough is better but my lungs not so much. I scared my mom to death cause I have been panting so much. I also must have jumped off the chair I like to sit in and hurt my left leg cause I have been limping too which upset my mom. I dont' mean to upset mom and I don't understand what is going on with me.
But I like all the attention I seem to be getting. I don't like going to the Vet they made me do xrays this time and put that darn muzzle on again, but I was good. Seems like I have some fluid in my lungs I don't see how that happened. But at least I got to ride around with mom in the car. She got me a new contraption that I have to wear in the car. Its a seat belt he he. She says it will keep me safe when we go somewhere. But I still like to be in her lap so I can see out the window. At least I can still sit up if I want to. Mom says I look so sweet in my seat belt. Now I can go with her all the time and she doesn't have to worry about me getting hurt. I sure hope I get to feeling better soon so I can enjoy going for a ride somewhere other than the Vet.

Guided by a meticulous and ambitious mater plan, John L. Knott Jr. has a vision to turn the Noisette Project into a model for the "New American City." "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing consistency. Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty."-Daniel H. Burnham, legendary Chicago city plannerTake one look at the 10-chapter, 135-page Noisette Community Master Plan, and you get the distinct impression that its authors took Burnham's words quite literally. Indeed, the firms comprising the master planning team are some of the building industry's heaviest hitters—Burt Hill Kosar Rittleman of Washington, DC; BNIM Architects, Kansas City, MO; Urban Design Associates of Pittsburgh, PA; Rolf Sauer Associates, Philadelphia, PA; and Applied Ecological Concepts of Wisconsin. But what's more impressive than the plan's scope or its authors, however, is the fact that the 3,000-acre redevelopment effort under way with the city of North Charleston, SC, is a community partnership guided by sustainable principles to develop an environmentally conscious, socially just city for the 21st century. In order to fully appreciate the breadth of the Noisette Project, consider some of the statistics: Within the redevelopment of 3,000 acres of the city of North Charleston and 380 acres of the former Charleston Naval Complex, the plan calls for the creation of an urban center with a three-quarter-mile Cooper Riverfront Park, along with a 200-plus-acre tidal creek preserve surrounding a restored Noisette Creek on the former base, now home to The Noisette Company, LLC headquarters; and the construction of 4,000-plus housing units, about 5,000-plus rehabilitated housing units, and up to five million square feet of retail, industrial and commercial space. A number of non-profit educational initiatives also are planned, along with two major museums, a performing arts complex and a visual arts center. Behind it all is John L. Knott Jr., a third-generation developer from Baltimore with a passion for sustainable development that is not just obvious—it's contagious. As president and CEO of The Noisette Company, Knott is well-known as one of the nation's leading sustainable developers—a fact that seemed to have eluded him until about a decade ago."I was told by Rocky Mountain Institute that I was one of the three leading sustainable developers in the country—and I asked them what that meant. I did not know the term," Knott admits rather matter-of-factly. He attributes his almost inherent approach to sustainable development as a result of the culture of responsible building his father and grandfather taught him through the family business that was founded in 1908, a time Knott says was more conducive to healthy building."This was an era when design and building were one, where you didn't have mass marketing systems; the materials used were indigenous to the climate itself, which meant they were durable. You designed buildings that were responsive to the climate because that's the only way you could build them. Otherwise, your buildings wouldn't last and they wouldn't be very comfortable for people. Because we didn't have the technology to condition buildings and build them without regard to climate."With this sort of preconditioning, it's no wonder Knott has such a practical view of sustainable design and development. "A lot of what sustainable design is about is pretty common-sense," he explains. "It's solar orientation; it's knowing that shutters on an architectural ornamentation have a function—we call it stack effect today. We were embedded with a kind of intuitive way to build that was not caught up in what we started doing in, say, the 40s or 50s. I think we have a pretty good grounding in that."Clearly, it is this grounding—and a reputation for being a socially and environmentally responsible developer—that brought him to North Charleston. So when Kurt Taylor, a city councilman who owns a home in the Olde North Charleston district, spoke with his brother-in-law, Andy Gowder, a lawyer who told him about one of his clients (Knott), Taylor suggested that Knott visit his neighborhood and consider its redevelopment. According to Knott, being invited into a community isn't out of the ordinary—in fact, it's standard procedure for The Noisette Company."Probably for the last 10 or 20 years, we have been sought out," he explains. "We're invited to places. We pretty much have a policy that we don't go places unless we're asked; we're not really interested in being a developer fighting our way into the community. We'd rather be asked into the community."Appropriately, Knott was recently invited by Interiors & Sources to talk about his efforts to revitalize North Charleston, and his vision for the New American City.I&S: When did the concept of sustainability really take hold for you?John l. Knott Jr: I think the biggest changes for me were looking at what new development was doing to land, and what I discovered when I personally started getting into it—I realized it wasn't just a builder problem, but a huge regulatory problem. Just to try and maintain topography, to maintain your tree stands, it was like you were climbing Mount Everest, because every regulation you ran into basically required you to tear the land apart.The big new thing for me was the sole issue of toxicity, whether it was toxicity to human health or toxicity to natural system health. Our family has always taught us you're not in the building business; you're in the human habitat business. You're building shelter for people to serve their needs. We were always taught in that way, so it kind of drives our thinking. Once you start to discover the materials you're using and the way your buildings are being required to be put together by your codes—and as we responded to the energy crisis, we started tightening up buildings, and we started getting indoor air quality problems and sick building syndrome—you start realizing that you're having a huge impact on people's health, particularly children's health. So if you know you're in the human habitat business and you're in the environment business, and you find out that what you do has the potential to recall some really serious physical problems for those you serve, then you don't have a whole lot of choice but to figure out how to change.I&S: What factors do you consider when examining a development or redevelopment site? Why did you choose North Charleston for the Noisette Project? THE NOISETTE PROJECT MASTER PLAN: A Snapshot The Noisette Community Master Plan begins with a vision for the New American City; a vibrant, healthy city that embraces its heritage and celebrates its role as a community, ecosystem and marketplace.To achieve this vision, the Master Plan makes specific recommendations and establishes guidelines to create elements of this New American City:A Regenerative Land Use plan to create a mixed-use development pattern, promoting a live/work/play environment, revitalizing key portions of the city and selectively increasing urban density throughout the United States.Plans for Restoring Natural Systems at Noisette so that they remain integral to the functions and aesthetics of the Noisette community, while linking the roles of individual citizens, neighborhoods and community as a whole in assuming the role of steward of the environment. Plans for Restoring Connections of the community through sustainable infrastructure improvements, including, but not limited to, transportation systems, open urban spaces and utility systems.Implementation of the Master Plan based on the concepts of Neighborhoods as Catalysts for Change—each neighborhood should have a vital center, support a mixture of uses, encourage pedestrian-and-bicycle- oriented transportation, and have its own character and beauty. Creation of a new community, the River Center at Noisette, by utilizing a major portion of the former Charleston Navy Base as a new, vibrant, mixed-use urban center. Recommendations for Project Phasing over the next 15 years and beyond.The development of Initiatives and Strategies that are essential for sustainable change.Benchmarks for Success, which include standards for measuring, reporting and learning from the results of implementing the Master Plan redevelopment.A copy of the full Master Plan is available at the company's Web site, www.noisettesc.com.Source: A Noisette Primer, courtesy of The Noisette Company, LLC. Knott: We went and looked (at North Charleston) and I was actually astounded at what I call the skeletal structure and the organic strength of that community. It was very depressed economically and very depressed environmentally and socially—it has lots of social dysfunction issues. When we look at a city and a place, we view cities as living organisms. And it's kind of like a doctor looking at a body. You have to determine whether you're in triage or that you can actually fix the body. And in most cases, cities can be restored and fixed, but the only way you can do it is, first, to inventory the assets. You've got to see the value that's there. You've got to see whether it has good bones or not, and where the bones have been disconnected. So it's really looking at it as a living organism and trying to see whether it has all the components to function as a healthy organism, if it can be restored.I&S: Once you've determined the site can be restored, what happens next?Knott: We're not really formulaic. We're more process-oriented. So when we looked at (North Charleston), we were blown away because the Park Circle area, as you start to look at the land plan that was put into place in 1913 to 1920, was one of the two Garden City models out of London that exists in the United States. A lot of that structure is still there.What we do when we come into a community is, we're trying to see it anew. We're trying to understand it for what it is and not be affected by what we see on the surface. So our first job is to really understand the place itself and dig into the depths and understand what values are there.We're trying to dig deeply and we're looking at the ecology, we're looking at the ecological history, we're looking at the economic history, the cultural history, we look at the architecture, and we go back in the course of time and then overlay the existing human built structure that exists on that system. You can start to determine pretty quickly if you have the capacity to restore the natural system that's there, in terms of your streams, your tributaries and flow systems that will create beauty and natural amenities in the area. And it's amazing in how many cities you can actually do that.I&S: It sounds as if you're developing a sort of psychological profile of the city. Knott: If you look at our master plan, that's basically what it is. The master plan takes every system that is from natural to physical that exists within a city and asks (first), ok, what's current condition? Second, what are the systemic problems represented by the condition—not the symptoms, but the systemic problems? Three, how did those problems and the current condition get there? Then you stop and you ask, "Now, what would be a sustainable outcome and how would you measure it over the course of time?" It isn't a static state—things should improve over time.Then it's typical strategic planning. You have a gap between current conditions—you know how it got there—and the other systemic problems, and you have the outcome you want to get to. Now you've got the gap analysis and you ask, "What are the resources, and what's the plan to fill the gap?" Then we connect those systems, so it's not just a system by itself. Then once we go through the analysis (first four chapters of the master plan), we go to chapters five and six and specifically apply this to every single neighborhood.I&S: You were quoted in an article in Marketwise as having asked designers "to not be designers, but healers." What did you mean by that?Knott: I talk about this a lot, because I think that we as developers and designers have a role to play that can heal human relationships and can heal our relationship with the environment. I think the way we design and plan communities can be highly respectful and highly restorative to the natural systems. We can be highly restorative to human health. And human health is at the psychological level, the social level, the spiritual level and the physical level. Everything we do as designers and as builders and developers and engineers has an impact on human health at those four levels. This business that we're not social engineers—that's bunk. I don't mean that we're sociologists, but I do believe to some extent we are. But when we know that some of these processes create such a separation of uses at such low densities that it forces people into automobiles everywhere, and they're spending their time on the road as opposed to with their kids—that's a social impact. And we have a social responsibility to think about that.In my opinion, the three most significant professions in the world are: one, to shelter the human community; two, to feed the human community; three, to teach the human community. We're in the shelter part, and that's a pretty awesome responsibility. That's how I think we all ought to view our role. I'm not saying we shouldn't be making money at all. But if it's just about making money, then go open a bank. I'm a real believer in market economics. Sustainability also has to be economic sustainability. If you have to keep throwing money in the coffers … it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If you are going to build things and develop things that impact people's lives, then understand that you're impacting people's lives and do it in a positive way.I&S: How is sustainable design being applied to the new and existing structures within the Noisette Project?Knott: All commercial and institutional buildings will follow as a minimum standard the USGBC's LEED rating system. Because LEED doesn't have a residential standard, we worked with EarthCraft in Atlanta at the Southface Energy Institute to develop what we consider to be one of the first climatically based building systems in the country. It is specifically designed for the hot, humid climate here. It's called the Noisette Quality Home Standard, and it is a mandatory standard for any residential building in our area. The city has adopted it for the first time for developments outside of our area. It's going to lead to higher durability, much higher efficiency, much more positive impact on the human-health environment and the natural environment. So it's kind of a LEED-plus-one approach to residential design, but it's specifically designed for this climate.What we're trying to do is build a new institutional framework here that changes the dynamics of the process. We believe that if you're going to have a sustainable or green community, it isn't about the green buildings or structures—it's about the culture of sustainability, which means that there has to be an enormous educational transformation, because most of us are so disconnected from our environment and most of us have no clue that when we buy this carpet or this insulation, it's going to poison us. We don't know that. And it's going to create problems for the environment.I&S: Speaking of educational transformation, tell us a little bit about the Noisette Urban Alliance.Knott: What we've done with this Noisette Urban Alliance is, we wanted to find manufacturers who were market leaders, but who also had some fairly significant commitments over a long period of time to really high quality and changing the way in which they were manufacturing … the kind of products that we believe meet our tests of sustainability. We're trying to completely collapse this disconnect between the original manufacturer and the consumer who uses their products. Then we're using it as a way to take the applied research that's sitting on manufacturers' shelves ready to come to market and expose it to the professional consumer market more directly to see what their view of it would be. We're trying to solve the problem of people's market awareness of what the (sustainable) products are and why they're beneficial to them.So, we now have the Noisette Urban Alliance Studio fully open to the public. It's an educational as well as a technology transfer—it is not a product selection center. We are using this to create direct resource capacity, to create a way in which contractors and designers can be trained. And we're also using it as a way to create integrated training.I&S: How do you overcome challenges to designing with a sustainable approach?Knott: Good habits come from restriction. Limitation is many times a catalytic force for great new ideas. When you have no limitation—and it's just kind of wide open—you're not in conflict. There's no conflict, so therefore the creativity can't generate itself. You have to respect the people. And if you're doing any historic preservation at all, the first thing you learn is there are all kinds of groups—neighborhood groups, historic groups, conservation groups, political groups—and if you want to do business, you don't fight them; you want to understand what their issues are. What are they trying to accomplish? Where can you find common ground? It isn't about us against them. They must be there because they have some importance and value. Let's find out what it is. And maybe if we respect them and find that out, they'll take time and figure us out. It's a relationship thing.I really think the culture of the existing building industry and development industry and the existing environment is where the real future of the great sustainable developers will come from.

Shuyun and Timothy's Wedding
"Oliver's came highly recommended by someone we knew in the restaurant industry; they lived up to their reputation. My only regret is not having eaten more. We cannot wait to use our $100 gift certificate from Oliver's. Our contract with them had a bumpy start because the assigned coordinator, Kristin Roberts, was extremely inefficient. She took weeks to respond to provide menus, prices and simple requests such as a beer list or DJ recommendations. If it were not for the fact that Oliver's is the sole caterer for the Historical society where our reception was held, we would have fired them. Fortunately, when we complained to the catering manager, Rebecca, she jumped in on our case and replaced Kristin with Nicole Harper, who was excellent. Nicole took initiative and made insightful suggestions. We had a wonder ceremony and reception thanks to her."
Cameron and John's Wedding
"Oliver's was amazing. We called them when the Statler closed and were nervous we couldn't find a place. Luckily the Historical Society was still available. They treated us like our day was as important to them as it was to us. It was very pricey, but totally worth it for what we got, which was a worry free and top notch wedding. The catering manager was working as hard as she could throughout the night to make sure everything went off without a hitch and everyone who attended could not stop raving about the food. Love them!"

General planar embedding algorithms are v. complicated and I do not
know of any Mathematica implementation. However, the second edition of
Stan Wagon's book "Mathematica in Action" contains a package
"GraphColoring.m" which works with the old (pre Mathematia 4.2)
Combinatorica package. This package has a simple function that tries to
find planar embeddings, essentially at random. This is th eusage
message form the package:
FindPlanarEmbedding::usage = "FindPlanarEmbedding[g] tries random
embeddings \
to find a planar embedding of g. Only small graphs g should be used, as
the \
method is unlikely to succeed except for small graphs.";
I used this package for a term, when I was teaching a course on graph
theory and in particular on uniform polyhedra. I modified it somewhat
and it was able to find nice looking planar embeddings of many
polyhedral graphs. If you run it it is advisable to use the function
TimeConstrained otherwise it may sometimes take for ever even int eh
case of a graph that is known to be planar. Also, I am not sue how
compatible the package is wiht the new version of Combinatorica, it may
need some re-writing.

Finally! A Desk!
For a good week or so, I searched and searched for an ideal desk for my office. (which is still under major renovation) Something that wasn't $3,000, yet was very chic. A desk I had to have. Something I loved. I was having little luck and feeling increasingly anxious. While driving through an area of the city that sells exceptional vintage pieces, I came across the most beautiful white tulip table sitting outside of a great little shop. Since I was about 16, I have admired them; Even tore out magazine pics and ads that I loved, featuring different tulip tables. As my Mom pointed out, why do I need to search for a desk? Why not work at a table that I have always loved and found inspirational? I bought that beautiful table (for a fraction of the original) and it proudly stands in the center of my office, with a glistening crystal chandelier above it...I'm so excited about it! It's beautiful and my inspiration—even if the rest of the space is in chaos...
Now that I am settled with a "desk", I'm just wondering about chairs.I'm thinking of purchasing this one in black, but I'm not 100% certain. To coordinate the look, the two other gray desks could be paired with the white version of this chair. Do you have any suggestions? Something comfortable to sit on yet works well with this table? /image 01 link/image 02 link/ image 03 link/image 04 link/image 05 link/image 06 link/

love the tulip table. seems u would like a chair with a back & wheels, are u open to patterns? let me see if i can find something...ReplyDelete
found these at allmodern but they may be way too highReplyDelete
not sure if ur into banker's chairs, this one has padding ( mine at work is all wood & it's hard on the buttocks!)
i thought this one looked good:
Thanks so much Maureen! I love these chairs - beautiful designs / I think the second one is my favorite as the shape is so pretty!ReplyDelete
finally a desk! I like the tulip table with the wood top...and the pendant lights in the first photo...have fun working at your new deskReplyDelete
What a cool idea!! I can't wait to see the after pics of your 'deskscape'. Ohhhh... I LOVE those tulip chairs and that Cherner armchair in the pics. That's beside the point, you are looking for a task chair. I, too, was trying to decide which task chair to choose. I was going back and forth between the Jake Chair at Room and Board or the Eames Management Chair (DWR). I went the latter. I was also considering the Emeco-Nine-0 chair that Maureen mentioned. And, love the Knoll chair she referenced. I think that is my fave for the tulip table, as well. Whatever you choose, I know it will be PERFECT.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see ur cute office in all its magnificent glory! the sarah and mommy klassen have impeccable taste! teheheReplyDelete

ABBAKA is the only manufacturer to offer distressed finish range hoods sealed with a protective, automotive-grade matte lacquer clear coat finish. Beware the so-called living finish which is merely wax coated. The wax can and will break down and the copper or brass will be unprotected from tarnish producing finger printing. Although the print can be polished off, so too the antiquing to expose a copper or brass bright spot. Choose the ABBAKA antique finish for enduring beauty.
One of our standard Arc Form designs has been chemically aged to create a classic distressed finish.
Brass has been chemically aged for an oil rubbed bronze look and sealed with our protective top coat.
32 oz copper is hand hammered, then fired in an oven in a proprietary process that creates a no-maintenance finish.
The mellow muted reflection of the brushed copper is protected with our easy care clear coat sealant.

Brooklyn Museum Receives $5 Million Gift from Leon Levy Foundation
The Leon Levy Foundation, led by Founding Trustee Shelby White, has made a leadership gift of $5 million to the Brooklyn Museum to endow the position of Director. It is the largest endowment gift to the Museum from a non-trustee donor and the largest gift from a foundation in more than a decade. The inaugural position of The Shelby White and Leon Levy Director of the Brooklyn Museum will be held by Arnold L. Lehman, who has been Director since 1997.
Announcing the gift, the Chair of the Brooklyn Museum's Board, John S. Tamagni, said, "On behalf of the Board and the Museum staff, I wish to thank Shelby White and the Leon Levy Foundation for this exceptional gift, which is an important step in securing the financial future of the Brooklyn Museum. Reflecting her passion for art, Shelby White's enduring support for the Museum and, indeed, for Brooklyn, exemplifies the ideal of philanthropic leadership."
"I grew up in Brooklyn, and remember taking class trips to the Museum to look at the Egyptian collection," said Ms. White. "I didn't realize, until much later, that it was one of the greatest museums in the world. The Leon Levy Foundation is proud to support the Brooklyn Museum and help ensure its future."
The Brooklyn Museum is one of the largest art museums in the United States, with comprehensive collections that range from ancient Egyptian masterpieces to contemporary works, representing nearly every culture. It serves one of the most diverse audiences of any art museum in the country as a dynamic and innovative center for learning through the visual arts.
The Museum has developed a broadly based schedule of special exhibitions, from scholarly to popular-culture offerings, encompassing those created by Brooklyn Museum curators as well as touring shows organized elsewhere. It has recently launched its spring season with four critically acclaimed exhibitions with the common theme of activism. They include Ai Weiwei: According to What?, presenting the work by the provocative Chinese conceptual artist and activist;
Chicago in L. A.: Judy Chicago's Early Work, 1963-74, an exhibition of minimalist art that paved the way for the iconic feminist masterwork The Dinner Party, a part of the Museum's permanent collection; Witness: Art and Civil Rights in the Sixties, honoring artists' participation in the struggle for racial justice; and Swoon: Submerged Motherlands, a site-specific installation addressing environmental issues and created by a renowned Brooklyn street artist.

Thank you for your advice medusahair!
I am using up Burt's Bees Citrus Shine because I feel obligated to, but I feel it is too stripping. I am trying to be wise and thrifty with my next shampoo purchase, so I would like to buy a cheap shampoo that is moisturing enough to be used on my entire hair (scalp and hair shaft) without having to used with a conditioner everyday.
I am using Massey's wavygirl method for washing my hair right now (shampoo on the scalp only with conditioner applied as a shield from the shampoo on the hair shaft )because I think co-washing would produce too much buildup. If it makes any sense, I find that after conditioning with Suave Coconut Condish or Freeman's Shine Overboard condish too many times in a row, my curls get weighed down - but not moisturized. So I thought maybe I should try a moisturizing shampoo alone.
I feel that on good hair days, I can achieve 3a curls. But if I make mistakes, I am stuck with weighed down 2c waves. I wish I knew what I was doing!
Thank you for any advice you can give me!

SSTV Facts and Figures
Some historyAmateur Radio SSTV has a surprisingly long history, going back to the first trials made in the late 1950's and with a notable first transatlantic SSTV contact being made in December 1959 between WA2BCW and G3AST. Commercial systems followed in the 1970's and 1980's, and ham software capable of both receiving and transmitting analog signals followed in the 1990's.
Arriving on the scene in the very early 2000's, digital SSTV was slow to start, but software developments have opened the door to many who are fascinated by the possibility offered by digital SSTV to transmit - on the HF bands! - perfect facsimiles of pictures.
By combining a radio transmitter, computer plus software - components of many radio hams' equipment - and a hardware interface between the two, it has become possible for many to enjoy the possibilities offered by this mode.
SSTV is growing...SSTV has enjoyed an increase in interest recently, due to several factors:
- personal computers are practically universal these days, especially among the ham radio fraternity
- computer-to-transceiver interfaces are readily available and enable the radio ham to send and receive many other digital modes such as PSK, RTTY, Domino, Olivia and Throb to name but a few
- software for analog and digital SSTV, as well as the other digital modes, are available at little or no cost to the user
- the adoption of the many narrow-band SSTV modes currently in use. These allow the transmission of images within a bandwidth of 500Hz, as compared to 2500Hz required by the more traditional wideband modes like Martin and Scottie. A narrower bandwidth means more transmissions can take place in any given sector of a radio band
- the introduction of new digital SSTV modes. These are based on the DRM and permit practically error-free transmission of images, albeit within a bandwidth of 2500Hz or so - comparable to the minimum bandwidth required by a human voice
Where to find SSTV signalsThere are plenty of places where you can find amateur radio SSTV signals. First you need a good receiver capable of tuning around the ham bands, a computer-to-radio interface and a computer with soundcard and software to decode (see below). Try some of these frequencies for starters:
|Transmission type
|IARU Region
|80 meters
|3730 kHz
|wideband analog SSTV
|3733 kHz
|digital SSTV
|3845 kHz
|40 meters
|7058 kHz
|digital SSTV
|7170 kHz
|wideband analog
|30 meters
|10132 kHz
|narrowband digital SSTV (MP73-N)
|10144 kHz
|narrowband digital SSTV (MP73-N)
|20 meters
|14227 - 14230 kHz
|analog SSTV
|14233 kHz
|digital SSTV
|15 meters
|21340 kHz
|SSTV calling freq.
|10 meters
|28680 kHz
|SSTV calling freq.
|6 meters
|50.510 MHz
|2 meters
|144.500 MHz
|SSTV calling freq.
Join the clubJoin the World SSTV Club!
How to receive and transmit SSTV signalsYou'll need a receiver and a computer with some kind of soundcard on board, and a radio/computer interface connected to both:
- Receiver - practically any communications receiver or amateur radio transceiver covering the appropriate band will do.
- Computer - any modern PC with Windows, MacOS or Linux would do, providing that the chosen SSTV software (see below) will run. Most often, the onboard computer sound-card will be used by the software to encode/decode the signals, but if the interface (see below) has its' own soundcard, that may be used instead.
- Interface - many commercial radio/computer interfaces are available: see the Links page for further reference. You can also build your own. Some interfaces come supplied with their own soundcard which has been optimized for the types of signals typical of digital radio transmissions - so signal quality will generally be better than if the computer soundcard were to be used.
- Software - a good choice exists, a selection of which may be found in the Links page.
Perhaps the best place to start is on the frequencies 14230 kHz or 14227 kHz, which are arguably the most popular for analog signals. The nearby frequency 14233 kHz is most often used for digital SSTV which is a little more tricky to set up and use.
Depending on the time of day, you may be lucky enough to hear the sound of a SSTV signal shortly after tuning in. Here are a couple of sample SSTV signals from the International Space Station:

Mike Devito and Sione Pouha are gone. Laron Landry is visiting the Colts and the impending doom that Revis Island is on his way out hangs over the fan base like a guillotine. David Garrard is now a Jet. Affordable "Upside potential" players like Mike Goodson and Brandon Gibson are coming to visit. That may not enough for some Jet fans but they better get used to it. Rebuilding is rarely smooth, sexy, and successful in the immediate. We wonder if Jets fans, many of whom realize the need to tear things apart, have the stomach for what is going to be a no nonsense, yet no frills ground-up repair. When you get a taste of the high life for many it's hard to go back to the old routine. For the Jet fan, two knocks on the Super Bowl doorstep followed by a plummeting descent could make it harder. Restructuring deals and watching big name vets walk is not nearly as fun as being in the buyers market. Percy Harvin moved to Seattle Mike Wallace landed in Miami. Other proven playmakers will soon change addresses too. Jets fans will have to hope that the speed, agility and athleticism that Idzik seeks to acquire, for a fast paced vision that works within the budget, will one day blossom. We wonder what the pain threshold for the diehards will be this time around. Now that a quick fix and a cheap media sell are no longer part of the gameplan anymore in Florham Park.

I've got a recipe you guys may want to try. Here's how it goes:
Slice duck breasts in half horizontal so the breasts are thin.
Season duck on both sides with seasoning salt, garlic salt, montreal chicken seasoning, and I also use a garlic/basil seasoning. (whatever seasoning you prefer)
Take mild peppericinci pepper, slice it in half, scrape out seeds, smear in Philadlephia cream cheese inside of pepper.
Wrap duck breast around pepper, then wrap strips of bacon around ducks breasts, toothpick everything together.
I cover a cookie sheet in NON-stick Reynolds Aluminum foil then place toothpicked bacon/duck breast/peppers on cookie sheets.
I preheat oven for 5 to 10 minutes on 375 and after preheat I cook food on same temp for 30 mintues to 45 minutes depending on how you like your duck cooked and how many items you are cooking on your sheet.
Try this out and tell me how you liked it; enjoy!

Needed legal advice on a landlord-tenant matter. Returned my call within 40 min. Discussed issues and nuances of the case involved. His rates are very reasonable. I appreciated that he was upfront with frank communications on pros and cons of the matter.

I have referred others to Ibrahim Moiz and he did an excellent job representing them and making sure that their rights were protected. I personally have asked Mr. Moiz for legal advise on a number of issues, and he has responded promptly and provided me with excellent advise. He has a good grasp of the law, but more importantly, he has excellent extincts, and clearly takes pride in his work. He cares about his clients and keeps them informed every step of the way and is always gracious. Clients will feel like they have an advocate that truly cares about them and their case. I highly recommend his services to any one!

bowed ceiling
1 Attachment(s)
Hi All,
Molding question?
I am not sure where the right forum would be for this question.
Here is my dilemma. I am finishing my basement and after drywall installation by contractor, I have started to do the crown molding by myself. During installation, I have noticed that there is a big curve between the ceiling and the vertical wall. This vertical wall is a boxed corner to cover A/C duct.
As you can see in the picture, the distances between blue arrows, yellow arrows and red arrows are all different. The beigest difference is as much as one inch which is big. Does any body in this forum has any trick idea the I correct this ot just live with it.
Thanks for every body opinions.
At this point, there isn't much you can do about it now...since the sheetrock is up.
Crown molding, like all trim work will bend. The problem is that, if there is that much difference (you say 1")...it will show it's wavyness. However, If you can live with that....
Only other suggestions I have is to NOT to put crown molding on that area (wall), because the crown molding will make it show more.
Off the top of my head, that is the best I can offer...outside of ripping off the sheetrock and trying to fix it.
Maybe there are some other suggestions out there.
(Tho, I would still suggest just putting the crown molding up first and taking a step back to see if you can live with it....)
I agree with Atlantic. The only other option is to put it down from the ceiling 2 or 3 inches and install it straight. This will leave a gap between the crown and ceiling that you could put some accent lighting in and should help hide the bow.
Just live with it!!
WTF. Typical answers from contractors. Here is an answer from a civilian. Get the drywall contractor or whomever boxed in the AC duct and get them to fix their sh*t work!
ohh,....yah....reeaalll goooood Suggestion:
Yeah...go ahead and give that a try and see how quickly the drywaller comes back to fix it.....
especially since it is obvious that the FRAMING was screwed up and caused the warps....
Read the entire post!
Isn't that the person that did the FRAMING?
Any mention of fixing shoddy work and you contractors get hot, huh?
Well maybe Akobari boxed it in. He is the one installing his own crown moulding. Are you saying that he screwed it up. Not to mention that the ceiling, which is the floor joist for the floor upstairs, was framed at the original construction of the home and Akobari is trying to work with what he was left with. As professionals we try to help correct the problem from the point he is at now and assume nothing.
OK OK I give!
I can say, from a homeowners perspective, that both of these guys and the majority or the contractors on this website do nothing but look for solutions for homeowners or else why would the waste their time on this site. Before you make hasty judgements you should look at their old posts and see the countless homeowners they have helped with projects. Without them, there would be a lot of hopeless speculation, confusion and poor information floating around...dont bite the hand that feeds you...:sneaky2:
And Also...
I apologize for any offense.
Yes, I did read the post in its entirety...I just wanted to put in my 2c...
That being said, I respect the fact that you made it right....:thumbsup:

Very creepy episode, but it wasn't too difficult to guess the ending. Didn't she read the story of Rumpelstiltskin? Never ever agree to some sort of blank check favor to a witch! Supernatural thriller.
Weird and creepy. I found it almost difficult to listen to. You just know that it is not going to end well, but the young woman is too desperate for a baby to see it herself.
I heard this when I was a kid and never forgot it..scared the C--- out of me! so great they left the commercials in...one of the best RMT's I remember..enjoy!!
I LOVE this one, I too heard many of these growing up as a young boy, and this was my fav. Weird, creepy, and strange like they are supposed to be, I dont understand just the 2.5 rating. My father was crazy about these, and had a large # he taped himself on cassettes. We listened to them traveling on vacation,and at night, out in the country, that intro was OMG SO scary, those were some of my fav memories growing up in the 70's. Thanks DAD,(r.i.p.) for introducing me, and thanks to this website for keeping them alive!!
Vincent R. Hickey
I don't remember hearing this particular episode as a child, but I too was a childhood fan of this series and cassette recorded them to enjoy in various contexts . . . I am so grateful for this site. Thank you so much!
I love the Mother Love character in this episode, she has a very creepy voice. I love when the commercials are left in, it really helps take you back to when the episode aired. Great website, thanks!
You could see the ending of this one a mile away! The actress, Vinette Carroll, played a Jamaician or West Indian doctor a couple of times on "All in the Family" when Archie had to have an operation and had to have a blood transfusion. She provided the blood.
Wow Kristen! Thanks so much for the fun fact about Vinette Carroll. My Father loved All in The Family, and I remember that episode well. Yes the story was predictable, but I loved the scary, weird, nature of the Mother Love character. Reminds me of the Stygian Witches from the original, "Clash of the Titans". Thanks again Kristen!
vince hickey
Truly amazing episode in my opinion... terrifyingly sad. The woman's heartbreaking desperation combined with the creepy Mother Love (and her strange deep voice) make for an episode that stuck with me for days after hearing it.
A woman is unable to conceive a child so she turns to alternate means. Unfortunately, the seer she seeks counsel from has a sinister agenda.
So creepy and with an ineluctable conclusion that is real horror.
Thanks for the comment Marcie, I have never, EVER seen the word ineluctable, spoken written, anywhere!! Thank you, and I am so glad you enjoyed the episode.It really takes me back to great times with my Father, thanks also to everyone who commented as well! :)

A young woman, unable to conceive, seeks out a fortune teller who says she can help her have a baby for $6000 and a strange favor.
L. Annover
Creepy with an ending reminiscent of "Rosemary's Baby"
Marven M.
Ooooh, this one creeped me out!!! :shock: A barren woman seeks help in order to conceive a child from a fortune teller/herbologist named Mother Love. Now you KNOW that's just asking for trouble in the CBSRMT world!! And hasn't homeopathy gained much more respect and acceptance in the world since then.
Yeah, good one. Nice and scary.
Jeremy Bushong
This episode was one of the creepier RMT's. I particularly liked the actress who portrayed Mother Love. She had a spooky delivery of her lines. Do you think she ML let the other woman raise the child? Or for that matter, would the mother have wanted to raise that....thing.
Ruth Claire A.
This one is definately creepy. Especially, the ending. Had a "Rosemary's Baby" feel to it, don't you think? (Actually "Rosemary's Baby" which is a rather fun little horror movie, would have made a good RMT episode when you think of it). I've often thought about how much better certain movies would have been had they been done as radio dramas. Imagine "The Shining" or "The Excorcist" as radio features (Mercedes McCambridge provided the voice of the demon in "The Excorcist", afterall). One's imagination can always create a more fearful "world" than any amount of special effects can provide. That's why, I've always enjoyed the first "Blair Witch Project". You're right about this episode being reminiscent of "BlacK Widow". This one has more chilling overtures ,though, I think. The voice of the child calling from the back room to his mother (And then, especially at the end) and the mental image conjured up by the crow's cawking. Can you imagine sleeping with that in your bedroom? Invokes a little Edgar Allan Poe ( "And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door"). e mental image conjured up by the crow's cawking. Can you imagine sleeping with that in your bedroom? Invokes a little Edgar Allan Poe ( "And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door").
I've gotta chime in as NOT a fan of this episode in parts. Run me out of town on a rail, but the Mother Love character (voiced flatly by Vinette Carroll) kept grating on my nerves. Her voice didn't seem mysterious, it sounded colorless. Her tone, her pauses/timing, it was all just "off"--it sounded like it was recorded with her reading the script for the first time. I'm listening to all of the episodes straight through, and this is the worst voice acting I've heard to this point. She should have stuck with directing stage plays. The episode itself has a fine story with good writing. But part of enjoying a drama--movie, play, radio, whatever the medium--is suspending disbelief enough to be drawn into the story. Mother Love's voice, along with EVERYone in the play mispronouncing "herb," kept startling me out of the story and I just had to tolerate the rest. That's not saying everyone else reviewing this is "wrong;" it's just interesting how widely different opinions can arise from the same experience.
Even though I knew what the ending was going to be, I neglected to say I couldn't stop listening to this episode,"Mother Love". I agree with the others that it is sad, terrifying and creepy. Vinette Carroll is terrific in this role. She doesn't ham it up like another actress might have. Mother Love knows that she will get what she's after and is almost terrifying calm and patient. I loved the original "Clash of the Titans" too!! 5 Stars
When Joan Hackett says, "Let's get out of here." One can hear the terror in her voice! I am with you, "Let's get out of here."
Robert firstname.lastname@example.com
Literally such a great episode. This is by far one of thee best! It had me thinking about it the rest of the day and the next^_^
Tyler G
Very strange ending - the son was able to telepathically speak? If so, why did he still sound the same if he was in a "fixed" body? It does make you wonder why the lady wouldn't just take the baby away from Mother Love and never come back. Kristin - thanks for pointing out the All in the Family episode, that is one that I remember quite clearly and I was likely around 8 when I saw it.
This is a good one. Very well done by all. Mother love is superb with her solid steely voice. These shows bring back bittersweet memories growing up as youngster in the '70's. When I listen to each story I get a little sad because sometimes they remind me of the loved ones who are no longer here- and sadly that list is getting larger. :(
I really liked this one, but I thought "Mother" was a a man (named "Mother"). I thought this was a take-off on Psycho and since old radio plays usually portray homosexuals as psychopaths, that "Mother" was one of those. I'd better listen more carefully! George, she was probably reading the script for the second time. These were produced in a day at CBS New York. The Wiki article on CBS Mystery Theatre is enlightening.
Bill King
This episode is truly macabre, to quote EG Marshall! The "visitor" was truly creepy. Thank you, Hyman Brown for your vision of amazing radio, and thank you to this Website for allowing us to enjoy Mystery Theater today on our IPads, when we used to listen on our old radio with knobs that couldn't quite get the exact frequency! I can't imagine my childhood without my radio and Mystery Theater.
Its One of my all time favorite.
I just don't understand the appeal of this episode at all. It's very creepy and the eerie atmosphere is well created, but it's predictable. Vinette Carroll was very talented, but simply did not have a voice for radio. It's quite off-putting, to say the least. The only good thing about this episode is Joan Hackett, who left us far too soon. I HATE the ear-splitting bird noises! I almost had to bail the first time I ever heard this one. I've only listened to it again for Ms. Hackett.
I have a question. There is, at least to my knowledge, only one way physiologically for a woman to become pregnant by her husband (CBSRMT aired in the days before artificial insemination). So why didn't George notice the amulet around his wife's waist? He noticed the bird just fine, but the weirdo amulet he just ignores? Does that make a lick of sense to anybody?
Yes, the ending was predictable but I thought Vinette Carroll's reading was great. She was so creepy!
I love CBSRMT and as long as the recording is clean/clear and it's not truncated, I'm happy. Yes, this story was fairly predictable; reminded me of Rapunzel a bit. That said, I did NOT like the voicing by Vinnette Carrol. She may have been great in other aspects of her career, but she sounded like a man to me, and had this been TV, that might have been ok, but when it's a radio show where your imagination fills in the visual, it was a fail in my book.

Move Top From Remote (2)
Lets think.
Use remote for Trunk Open
With trunk open find if pressed again signels any additonal relay pick and can be used to start step (2)
(2) Find where relay is to trigger trunk open Power to motor,
Find power for top switch Down Only ( right )
Power switch for top down action
Use a relay to Pick switch for down action hold relay open till top down
Start Car Unpick switch and top is down
and now warning that the button is stuck etc..
Now just one night to play with a volt meter and a trip to radio shack,
Humm seems like it pretty simple
Back in 1990 I had a 86 trans am that I could put the windows up and down by remote, had a viper alarm with proximity sensor that is some one put there hand in the car it would put the windows up on them " it also said protected by viper stand back "
Under the dash looked like well you can only Iamage I had to design the system by hand and many nights getting the windows sensors right. It had to know when the window was all the way up and all the way down to stop powering the motors etc.
Xlrs top is the same principle only it has senors when it it all the way down and all the way up ( closed open )
think about it as if you just need someone to hold down the switch and then make it happen.
and.... what is need to make it work power, relay, trigger to start the process ( hate have to carry and extra remote so trunk make sence ) and ....
Find what is triped when down and reverse process for up RIGHT?
Kinda cool had way too may 100 in one kits from radio shack when I was little.

Clarinda Review.
Clarinda inspired Burns' passion
WHEN the Ploughman Poet, as he was known to Edinburgh's 18th century literati, was invited to the Capital in 1787 to oversee the revision of the first published collection his works (Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect), Robert Burns quickly made a lasting impression on those he met.
They included local poet Agnes 'Nancy' McLehose, with whom he would embark upon a four-year platonic 'affair'.
It is this unusual relationship that lies at the heart of playwright Mike Gibb's latest work, which premieres at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, on the High Street, tomorrow Burns' Night.
"The fascination for me as a playwright was the fact that they had a platonic relationship, because there is this image of Burns going around the country seducing everyone on sight," says Gibb.
"I think the fascination for Burns was that he had met someone who stood up to him and said, 'No'.
"It's very clear from the letters they exchanged that Nancy was sorely tempted by him, but although she found him charismatic and was estranged from her husband at the time, she still thought of herself as a married woman and refused to be unfaithful to the vows she had taken in church."
Drawing on the pairs' passionate letters, in which they used pseudonyms to hide their true identities Burns was Sylvander while McLehose adopted the name Clarinda the piece, also called Clarinda, is the first musical play about Burns to tour Scotland.
Gibb is thrilled that it will receive its premiere in Edinburgh's old town, the place where Burns and McLehose met and just 400 yards from Canongate Cemetery where McLehose was buried in October 1841.
Explaining how Burns' Glasgow-born muse came to settle in the Capital, Gibb explains, "At the age of just 17 Nancy married James McLehose, who eventually became an Attorney at Law.
"While he was pursuing her, he was totally charming. But once they were married he turned out to be a drunkard, a wastrel and a wife-beater. They had four years together and produced four children before he deserted her.
"It was only with her uncle and father's assistance that Nancy was able to come to Edinburgh where she managed to make a bit of a life for herself.
"She was also a poet and started to get into Edinburgh society. Totally fascinated by Robert Burns she went out of her way to get an intro-duction when she heard he was coming to Edinburgh."
The pair first met at a tea party hosted by one of McLehose' friends and instantly became fascinated with each other.
However, while the piece focuses largely on McLehose and Burns' association, other characters' lives also unfold in the play. There's the drunken husband; Jean Armour, Burns' long- suffering wife and mother to nine of his children who, through all his many dalliances, remained faithful to the poet; and Jenny Clow, McLehose's maid who was seduced by Burns in a fit of pique and frustration after he was rebuffed by Nancy.
Gibb adds, "Burns certainly wasn't best pleased when she turned him down and on one occasion when Nancy said 'No', Burns went home in the huff. When she sent her maid Jenny Clow with a letter for him, Burns then seduced the maid."
Clow died three years later of TB, but not before giving birth to Robert Burns Clow the poet's son became a wealthy businessman, married and produced a son (also called Robert Burns Clow) who went to Borneo, married a chief's daughter and was killed by pirates.
McLehose and Burns were finally parted when she left for Jamaica in an ill-fated attempt to rekindle her relationship with her husband Burns wrote Ae Fond Kiss as a parting gift for her in the winter of 1791.
Clarinda is Gibb's fifth Scottish musical play. His previous works being A Land Fit For Heroes, Five Pound And Twa Bairns, Sunday Mornings On Dundee Law and Mother Of All The Peoples the first musical to be performed in the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood.
And it was during his time at the Parliament that the current production of Clarinda has its roots, reveals Gibb.
"At that time I visited the Canongate Cemetery to look at Nancy's plaque," he recalls. "As I passed the Netherbow Theatre (now the Scottish Storytelling Centre] I suddenly thought, 'That is the place to premiere Clarinda'. "
He adds, "When we did the photocall with the cast walking down the Canongate in full costume it was a very strange feeling just realising that we were walking the very same streets that Nancy herself had walked all those years before. In a way we were reliving history."
Directed by Cutting Edge Theatre's Suzanne Lofthus, with music composed by Kevin Walsh, Clarinda features actor George Drennan, fresh from a run on New York's 42nd Street appearing in the National Theatre of Scotland's Wolves In The Walls, as Robert Burns.
He is joined on stage by Sabrina Carter as Burns' muse Gillian Budd, who doubles up as Jean Armour and Jenny Clow and Ian Hammond Brown as James McLehose and Gavin Hamilton.
Clarinda, Scottish Storytelling Centre, Netherbow Theatre, High Street, tomorrow, 7.30pm (matinee 2.30pm), £10, 0131-556 9579

Just been too this at the arts centre...very good...worth a look
I went to the matinee on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed the play and Kevin's beautiful music and songs. It was a real treat.
I was unable to go - I really wanted to but couldn't.
I'm so glad to hear that it went well.
I'd pm'd Kevin to see how he was doing, and he said he's been rushed off his feet lately with all that... Glad to hear it's going so well. I think it's going on CD soon, so we'll be able to listen to it without having to go to Edinburgh!
Many thanks for all the nice comments about "Clarinda".
Original cast CD on it's way (should be available early April). If you want to pre-order at a special introductory price of £9.99 (plus £1.00 postage) you can do so by sending a cheque to Honest Toil Productions, 32 Woodhill Road, Aberdeen, AB15 5JW. For further information contact me at
Plans now well in hand for a further (bigger and better!) production early in 2009.
