This data set consists of estimates of mean values of sea-ice thickness and sea-ice draft in meters computed from three different input data sets: sea ice draft from Upward Looking Sonar (ULS) mounted on submarines, sea ice draft from ULS mounted on bottom-anchored moorings, and a simulated ice-thickness model. The data span from 1979 to 2004 and cover two regions centered around the North Pole. One region, Region A, is north of 89° N; and the other, Region B, is north of 87° N. The data set consists of one ASCII text file. The data are available via FTP.

These data are intended to be used to evaluate the consistency and temporal coherence among the three input data sets: submarine ULS ice draft, moored ULS ice draft, and the simulated ice-thickness model of Zhang and Rothrock (2003) called the Coupled Ice-Ocean Model (CIOM). These data are also intended to evaluate decadal to multi-decadal trends in sea-ice thickness given the long temporal range of the data set, 1979 to 2004.
The parameters of this data set are sea-ice draft and sea-ice thickness given in meters. Ice draft is a measurement of the thickness of the sea ice below the waterline and often serves as a close proxy for total ice thickness. Note that both draft and thickness are not available for the entire temporal coverage. See the Temporal Coverage section of this document for complete details.
The data cover two regions centered around the North Pole. One region is north of 89° N, and the other is north of 87° N.
The data span from 1979 to 2004; however, only the CIOM ice thickness data covers this full range. The ULS submarine ice draft data span 1986 to 1999 averaged over spring months (March - June) and 1988 to 2000 averaged over summer months (August - November). The ULS moored ice draft data span April 2001 to April 2003 and are monthly averages over this time period. The CIOM ice thickness data span 1979 to 2004 averaged over spring (April) and summer (September) months. See Table 1 for specific dates by parameter.

The format of the data file is a space-delimited ASCII text file with headers. The file begins with a header containing background information, data sources, and processing. The header is followed by the DATA section. The DATA section is divided into 3 main parts:
Section I is further broken up into four sections: Spring Region A, Summer Region A, Spring Region B, and Summer Region B. Spring Region A contains the data acquired during the spring in Region A and so forth. Each section contains four columns of data. The columns are described in Table 2.
|ID of the submarine cruise ("--" indicates an ID was not assigned to this cruise).
|4-digit year in which the cruise occurred
|Draft (m)
|Ice draft measurement in meters (m)
|Source of the data (research group that produced it, NSIDC is the distributor):
NSIDC-CRREL: Cold Regions Research And Engineering Lab
NSIDC-EWG: Environmental Working Group
NSIDC-UC: University of Cambridge
NSIDC-UW: University of Washington Applied Physics Lab
Section II contains one section of data with four columns as described in Table 3.
|4-digit year in which the moored ULS obtained the data
|1- and 2-digit month in which the moored ULS obtained the data
|Time (days)
|The decimal time, in days after 00:00:00 UTC 31 December, 2000. Thus, 00:00:00 UTC 01 January 2001 corresponds to Time = 1.0.
|Draft (m)
|Ice draft measurement in meters (m)
Section III is further broken up into four sections: Spring Region A, Summer Region A, Spring Region B, and Summer Region B. Spring Region A contains the data acquired during the spring in Region A and so forth. Each section contains two columns of data. The columns are described in Table 4.
|4-digit year in which the moored ULS obtained the data
|Ice thickness output from the CIOM model in meters (m)
The single data file resides in one directory on the FTP site: ftp://sidads.colorado.edu/pub/DATASETS/NOAA/G02194/.
The single data file is named Npole_Ice_Thickness_Draft_Sub_Moored_Model.txt and is 14 KB in size.

The submarine ULS data used to estimate the mean ice draft were acquired from NSIDC. Two different data sets were used:
The submarine ULS ice draft data downloaded from the NSIDC website were produced by various research groups, located at the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), the University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory (UW), and University of Cambridge (UC).
The data sets extracted from the EWG Joint U.S.-Russian Atlas CD-ROM were processed by a variety of different groups, including CRREL, UW, Bronson Hills Associates, and the Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM). See Table 2 for the abbreviations for these data producers.
The moored ULS data were downloaded from the Earth Observing Lab (EOL) Codiac data system from the North Pole Environmental Observatory (NPEO) Oceanographic Mooring Data.
The CIOM data (Zhang and Rothrock, 2003) were downloaded from the Projections of an Ice-Diminished Arctic Ocean - Retrospection and Future Projection Web site.
The submarine ULS data are average ice drafts for segments at least 10 km long (typically they are 50km long) of each submarine cruise within the given region. Each cruise is designated as spring or summer, and the means for all segments within regions A or B are averaged together to produce the regional/seasonal averages of the data set. For the submarine data, any cruise occurring during the interval March to June is considered spring, and any occurring during August to November is considered summer. The mean ice drafts have not been adjusted to account for variations in the mean annual cycle of ice draft within the spring and summer intervals.
The moored ULS data are time series of observations acquired at the location of the North Pole Environmental Observatory (NPEO) mooring (typically, latitude 89 degrees 30 minutes north). The observations are made at intervals of 5 minutes (2001 - 2002) and 10 minutes (2002 - 2003). The measurements of draft are time-averaged over each calendar month to produce the values included in this data set. Note that during April 2002, the first NPEO mooring with ULS instrument number 22 was recovered. A few days later, the second NPEO mooring, with ULS instrument number 12, was deployed. The time averages have been computed separately for each instrument, so there are two averages for the month of April 2002.
The variables calculated at each CIOM grid point include a sea-ice thickness distribution. The mean ice thickness at each time increment and spatial grid point is calculated as the average over this distribution. These instantaneous grid point averages are further averaged spatially, over all grid points within the two regions (A and B), and temporally over the months that represent spring and summer for the model data: April and September, respectively.
Data are available via FTP.

Being stalked can be a terrifying experience. Victims are traumatized repeatedly by their stalkers and are often left feeling isolated and alone. According to the U.S. Department of Justice more than 6.6 million people are stalked each year. While the majority of stalking victims (66% of females and 41% of males) are stalked by someone they know, others fall victims to stranger stalking.
What is Stalking?
Stalking legal definitions vary, but a basic definition is a course of conduct directed at a person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear. Simply put it is a continued attempt to gain control and ultimately terrorize a person. Stalking behaviors vary and are often hard to prove since many are not criminal acts by themselves. A few of the behaviors are repeated phone calls/text messages/emails, following the victim, sending unwanted gifts, use of technology to monitor you, threats and posting/spreading rumors.
Why me? Why am I being stalked?
This is the question I get asked the most often. The stalker's obsession simply cannot be justified or explained in any reasonable way. To try to guess why the stalker chose you or why the obsession is so deep is to try to assign reason to an unreasonable person.
However, there is some research to indicate the stalker sees their victim(s) as property or a possession that is rightfully their own. There are often diagnosed mental health issues associated with stalking. However, it is important to note that not all stalkers have diagnosed mental health issues. Stalking is a crime based on control of the victim and a feeling of entitlement to the victim.
If you are being stalked, it is important to get help. Tell your friends and family members. Their observations can help get a conviction and keep you safe. Of course, if you are in immediate danger call 911. See more about staying safe in our Help for Victims section.

Good list. I would've included carry angle, one that is appropriate for the position along the belt; and that the holster carry the pistol so the muzzle's not pointed at the wearer while carrying or drawing. There's lots more, of course.
A covered trigger guard is considered a given in contemporary times, because of the popularity of SA autos (as opposed to DA revolvers) such as the 1911s and even the Glock. On the other hand, a covered guard is a double-edged sword, in that a carelessly placed trigger finger can lead to an AD, too. One could argue that a covered guard is NOT necessary on a DA auto, unless one contemplates forgetting to drop the hammer before holstering; at which point one would also wish for a thumbreak that "tells" that the hammer is cocked.

Pye, caretaker of Starchild skull, dies
Lloyd Pye handles the Starchild skull in a photo posted to Facebook in 2010. (Courtesy Photo)
Fringe scientific researcher and author Lloyd Pye passed away at the age of 67 earlier this week.
Pye died in the presence of family Monday in Destin, Fla., according to Roswell resident Donald Burleson, an acquaintance of Pye. The cause of death was cancer, he said.
Pye is best known for leading research on a mysterious artifact dubbed the Starchild skull. The researcher and his team, including Burleson, have said that based on DNA evidence, the specimen cannot be human.
"Nobody has come out and said outright it's extraterrestrial, but it's kind of hard to explain if it's terrestrial," said Burleson, a semi-retired mathematics professor at Eastern New Mexico University–Roswell.
Burleson also writes a column about UFOs and the search for extraterrestrial life for [auth] Record publication Vision Magazine.
Burleson provided Pye with statistical analysis of DNA and bone samples from the skull.
Claims that the skull is not human have been contested by mainstream scientists.
Pye studied psychology at Tulane University, where he received his bachelor's degree in 1968, according to a concise autobiography on his personal website. He went on to pursue a career in fiction writing.
He eventually developed an interest in "hominoids" such as Big Foot, according to the autobiography. His interest led him to publish a book in 1997 postulating an alternative theory of human evolution, titled, "Everything You Know is Wrong."
In 1998, Pye acquired the Starchild skull from a couple in El Paso, Texas, according to the website of Pye's independent research endeavor Starchild Project. The skull was originally found in Mexico in the 1930s, according to the site.
He led an independent team of researchers in analysis of the specimen's DNA and physical attributes.
"If the thing was human, the gene we're looking at would have been so mutated that the thing would have died, but it didn't. It lived to be an adult," said Burleson.
Steven Novella, a neurologist at the Yale University of Medicine, criticized Starchild Project research and conclusions in a 2006 post for the website of the New England Skeptic Society, a nonprofit devoted to promoting skepticism of "paranormal and pseudoscientific claims."
"Conservative scientists are convinced that the skull represents a severe congenital abnormality, but require more thorough examination before they can be more specific," Novella, who is president of NESS, wrote.
With Pye deceased, the future of Starchild Project is unclear. Burleson said the project is selling products promoting research of Starchild to fund further DNA research.
He said he expects the DNA researcher, whose name Pye never released to Burleson, will play a key role in continuing the research.
Burleson spent several years communicating with Pye over the internet, but never met the researcher in person.
"He was funny. He had a very wry sense of humor," the local mathematician said. "He was a scientist. Like all good scientists, he was a skeptic himself."
The Starchild Project and family and friends of Pye did not respond to requests for comment.
A Dec. 9 post on a Facebook fan page by someone identifying himself as Pye's nephew states, "Lloyd was surrounded by family and died in his mother's arms. The family is asking for privacy at this time as we deal with the loss."

They have been the class of the Suburban League for quite some time.
But the Blue Devils will most likely need to start getting used to hearing a somewhat unfamiliar word as they venture from course to course during the 2014 season.
The Tallmadge boys golf team, which has captured the last four Suburban League titles, saw its top five players graduate last fall.
They are former state qualifier Zach Mosholder, who plans to continue his academic and golfing careers at Ashland University, Chris Koza, who plans to play at the University of Malone in North Canton, Zach's twin brother, Mike Mosholder, Nate Bickar and Nick Genovese.
"Those five kids accounted for approximately 90 percent of our varsity starts in 2013," Blue Devils' 12th-year head coach Jon Shomo said.
Shomo, who is 81-31 at Tallmadge, which earned a fifth-score tiebreaker win in its debut against Firestone Aug. 6 at Maplecrest Golf Club in Kent, guided the Blue Devils to a 9-2 record (5-2 in the league) last year.
Tallmadge also finished seventh at the eight-team Suburban League Preseason Tournament Aug. 7 at J Edward Good Park Golf Course in Akron.
Shomo believes his new group of players will have their work cut out for them.
"We don't have anyone with a consistent track record like we have had in the past few seasons," Shomo said. "That will be our biggest challenge ... to achieve a level of consistency."
Fortunately for Shomo, he has plenty of underclassmen who have a chance to make significant progress as they gain more experience. Tallmadge has zero seniors on the team.
But Shomo's crew hasn't played too many courses on the varsity level.
Only juniors Jared Landwehr (seven starts), Jimmy Filko (four) and J.P. Allen (one) have been in the starting lineup for the Blue Devils.
While that trio will lead the way, Shomo also expects juniors Jacob DiFiore and Austin Sigman to contribute on the varsity squad.
Shomo said two other players are expected to get some time on the links for both the varsity and junior varsity teams. They are junior Chad Green and sophomore Jake Pallotta.
Rounding out the squad are juniors Griffin Oubre and Tyler Dubin; sophomores Austin Moore and Jake Davis; and freshmen Justin Allen, Derek Peters and Jake Kanatzar.
"We are going to be inexperienced at the varsity level," Shomo admitted. "That is a big hurdle to overcome. It is not realistic to expect such an inexperienced group to play at the level of our teams from the last five years [those five teams combined finished 48-8].
"This season is about gaining varsity experience, showing improvement and learning how to compete at a higher level. This is a very nice group of young men. They will represent themselves, our school and our community well."
The junior varsity coach is Jon Karnuth, who enters his fourth year with the team.
Shomo believes the Suburban League race could be a three-team race.
"The league powers should be Highland, Green and possibly Revere," Shomo said. "Copley and Cloverleaf will be improved."
Both Tallmadge and Firestone finished with scores of 345 Aug. 6. Landwehr and Filko each led the way with scores of 85 and Sigman (87), DiFiore (88) and also contributed.
At the preaseason tournament, the Blue Devils finished with a score of 352.
Highland led the way with a 320 and Green (321) and Copley (329) finished second and third, respectively.
Landwehr led Tallmadge with an 86. Rounding out the top four for the Blue Devils were Sigman (87), Filko (90) and DiFiore (95).
The Blue Devils were scheduled to compete at the Suburban Pre-Season Meet Aug. 7 at J Edward Good Park Golf Course in Akron. Results were not available at press time.
They are set to play Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy Invitational Aug. 11 at Silver Lake Country Club. Play is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m.
Tallmadge is set to play in the Twinsburg Invitational Aug. 14 at Gleneagles Golf Course. Play is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m.

PHILADELPHIA - SEPTEMBER 20: Andy Reid, head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles yells from the sidelines during a game against the New Orleans Saints at Lincoln Financial Field on September 20, 2009 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images)
Would Charlie be fired midseason? I'm not saying that it is likely, or even that it isn't likely, but we have to prepare ourselves for a situation in which Charlie Manuel gets fired the same way we had to with Andy Reid. The man has brought us a run of NL East championships and a World Series since he was hired to be the manager of the Phillies in 2005. He might be the best manager in Phillies history, and will hold a special place in the hearts of Phillies fans forever. But it might be his time. The Phillies are on the brink of a complete overhaul with players like Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, and Jimmy Rollins–the nucleus of those great teams–getting older and older. It might be time to start over. It isn't unlike the situation with the Eagles and Andy Reid. Reid struggled in his last years with the team – and if Charlie has another bad season, it could very well be the same with him. Is Charlie on the same path as Andy? So let's look at Reid's firing. In the 2012 season, his "ultimatum" season, he started off well, going 3-1. Then things fell apart and the Eagles won just one out of the next 12 and Reid was fired the day after the regular season ended. The fans knew it was coming. The media knew it was coming. Some outlets even reported – in my opinion, erroneously – his firing minutes after the last game ended. The players even knew it was imminent. I don't think it'll be like that if Charlie gets fired. If he gets fired, it'll probably be midseason, and there will still be a lot of questions about whether or not he'll get axed. But the fallout will be the same. A longtime manager/coach leaving a team after much success. It'll be sad. It'll be weird not having him as our coach. Philadelphia's two biggest sports teams will have had a coaching change in the same calendar year – oh, and both coaches just so happen to be the best in the history of their respective teams. And that is why this could possibly be such a unique situation in Philadelphia.

Kingsbrae Garden in New Brunswick, Canada, was once destined to become a dog-training facility. As much as we love dogs at F&F, we're glad that never came to fruition, as the garden is stunning.
A bold planting scheme, running from serene Liatris and Monardas to cheerful poppies and knapweed, drifts through the organic public garden, which was designed and planted in the mid 1990s.
The 27-acre site surrounded a 1910 Edward Maxwell Manor house. When work began on the garden, there were many mature trees, shrubs and several areas surrounded by tall, stately, old cedar hedges. These areas were developed into themed gardens. The rest of the plot comprised virgin Acadian forest and fallow fields. The forest has been left intact, with only a few paths and simple wooden bridges added.
The gardeners also dug out two large ponds and created an in-ground irrigation system, which lessened the garden's dependence on the town's water supply.
In 2006, the garden became the first in Canada to have a Wollemi Pine, known as the 'Jurassic living fossil'. these rare Australian trees are the focus of a worldwide conservation effort, as there are only 100 adult specimens in the wild.
The garden is, according to Marketing Officer Maureen McIlwain, 99.9% chemical free, supplying all its own compost and relying on natural predators such as ladybirds to keep pest numbers down. A nearby hotel supplies kitchen waste for Kingsbrae's huge compost piles. These heaps mean the gardeners have never needed to import topsoil, improving the soil's condition instead using their own ready supply of nutritious manure.
In fact, the organic ethos is so important to the team at Kingsbrae that the garden was one of the leading forces in establishing a local ban on lawn pesticides. When you look around the garden, pesticides do seem a ltitle irrelevant. Everything is flourishing.

It is a superb lens I combine with the Nikon D800 and I am astonished how little corrections are needed. I work most of the time with DXO Optics Pro Elite. That means that all the needed corrections are executes at once. It is a real value for money lens and the missing of image stabilizing is no hinder as I use this wide angle most of the time on a tripod.
I hoped for a handsome FX-body with a far less heavy sensor than the magnificent D800. The rate of 24 Mp is much but not to much I guess. The light sensibility goes up to ISO 6400 as the D700 already does, but the D3s and D4 are the light champions up to ISO 12.800. The images of the D600 will certainly be very good but for what reason did Nikon mount such an unpractical menu-button/dial on the left side of the body?! This will slow down the work-speed changing ISO values as I continuously do while photographing. Why does this D600 have only 2 SD slots in stead of a CF and a SD as the D300s has?
The recently opened AppleStore in Amsterdam is a great retail event.

Channel 4 will not step into the breach when the BBC ends coverage of several high-profile days' racing in 2010. An executive with the broadcaster said yesterday it was "very unlikely" that Channel 4 would screen the Welsh National if, as seems likely, the race is dropped from the BBC's schedules.
It emerged earlier this month that the BBC plans to cut back coverage of horse racing to just 13 days in 2010, less than half the present output. The Welsh National is among a number of races likely to be lost to viewers, as is the Becher Chase and possibly the whole Shergar Cup meeting.
But the source poured cold water on any hope that Channel 4 would automatically take up the discarded racedays. "I can't see that there's much that we would really be too interested in before Christmas," he said. "We have what we want already in place.
"The Welsh National is on a Saturday this year, but that's one year in seven and it is normally a midweek, which would be beyond what we currently have. The other major casualty will probably be the Aintree meeting just gone.
"It's a Sunday rather than a Saturday, and much as the team would like to cover races over the Grand National fences, it would also require a lot of people and resources."
Nevertheless, Channel 4 remains committed to racing and hopes to cover the sport in a two-hour programme aired at exactly the same time every Saturday during 2010. Talks are under way with the aim of rearranging race times to achieve this.

Ultra HD TV: Déjà Vu All Over Again
Posted by James McQuivey on January 11, 2013
- 453 Recommendations
- 2 comments
I swear I've been here before. Not here, as in here at CES, where I spent the week checking my product assumptions against the actual offerings arrayed on the showfloor. But here, as in at a crucial moment in time when a single industry rushes to push a massively expensive, relatively unnecessary technology on unsuspecting consumers. That's the case with Ultra HD at CES 2013. Formerly known as 4k TV (because of the rough number of horizontal pixels employed in the technology) and now already truncated to UHD by company reps on the floor and in the hallways, Ultra HD is supposed to be the next thing every consumer will want.
It ain't gonna happen. The reasons evoke a ready comparison to 3DTV. And indeed, I have been here before, back at CES 2010 where I wrote a piece called 3DTV at CES: Poking Holes in the Hype. That year, some industry thinkers had conducted a survey and concluded that as many as 5 million consumers were ready to jump into 3D with both feet while opening their big, fat wallets. So I wrote the obligatory post that said, pointedly, no.
The comparison between 3D and Ultra HD is obvious. They were both too expensive at introduction (Ultra HD much more so than even 3D); they both suffered from a dearth of content availability; they both required a complete retooling of the equipment used by video production teams and film studios; and they both landed at a time when consumers were pretty happy with the awesomely large, cheap TV screens they already had.
But the most important comparison is this one: Both 3D and Ultra HD were offered under the assumption that people wanted to move to some fanciful "next level" of video technology. And why not? Hadn't consumers just proven that they were susceptible to the siren song of bigger screens and higher resolution when they upgraded to HD from standard definition screens over the prior decade? This was exactly the rationale that the chairman of Panasonic offered when we sat down at CES in 2010 to discuss the company's investment in 3D TVs, 3D cameras, and 3D production equipment.
If that was the mistake of 3D, it was also the mistake of Blu-ray. In both these cases, manufacturers pushed on a new technology under the mistaken assumption that people were antsy to have the highest quality video experience possible. But as we learned from Blu-ray's tepid response and 3Ds failure, people were already at a level of technology that was good enough. The principle of good enough is a critical one taught by Clayton Christensen as part of his disruptive innovation research: A technology needs to be just good enough to give people solutions to their problems, answers to their questions, and fulfillment to their fundamental needs. Disruptors know this and act accordingly. Digital disruptors go one step farther, acting on this knowledge with unprecedented speed. As I have written in my upcoming book, Digital Disruption, in a digital era, fulfilling product experiences depend much more on the digital experience surrounding the product than on the product's traditional specs or boundaries.
The lesson for TV makers is clear: Digital tools and digital platforms -- not to mention the digital devices that people have in their laps while they watch TV -- make it possible to deliver novel, engaging video experiences without changing the hardware much, if at all. What will fulfill viewers is not increased quality, but increased everything else. They want more access to more content in more places in more ways on more devices than they had before. That's why people are happy to watch streaming video on Netflix on a 4-inch phone the same day that they catch the season opener of Downton Abbey through their cable box on a 65-inch wall-mounted HD screen. What matters most is not the number of pixels or the quality of the pixels themselves (take note OLED fans), but the increasing convenience of the content's discovery and delivery. This is why TV makers should be investing in a better experience rather than a bigger one. That means investing in a better UI, better apps for the TV and its companion screens, and it may even justify investing in better chips (as Samsung has done) to power those experiences.

Comment from Steve Furman on Fri, 01/11/2013 - 23:09
Nailed it. I have a lot of flat screen televisions in my home, including 3D. The picture quality is incredible. The interfaces are horrible. The big problems are remotes and software. It's hard to move manufacturers from assembly line to code line. Samsung is the worst at this.
100% Agree
Comment from Neal Robison (not verified) on Sun, 01/13/2013 - 13:04
I have to completely agree. I was also in Las Vegas, and made time to wander to each major CE company's booth to see the "wonder" of 4K. The technology is impressive, and as a video professional, I crave the technology. However, there's simply no way that an average consumer is going to even distinguish the difference between 4K and standard HDTV sets that they already own. It simply doesn't change a consumers experience in any meaningful way. Gorgeous? Yes. Going to succeed? Sorry, but no.

'If the fan is coming on when the AC is turned on, then it is most likely the fan resistor.'
Incorrect. The fans both start out on low with a/c on and both ramp up to high speed at 250+ (or 275, I forget) psi a/c high side pressure. In other words fans don't work on a/c either if resistor is bad except under certain high pressure conditions. Fans are on all the time a/c is on but can be on high or low. I've watched my '02 ramp up and down in fan speed while charging the a/c.
Resistor checking is not rocket science, it is bad if the connectors are melted and the thermal fuse can be simply checked with a VOM, if open like a normal fuse it's bad. It should have very low resistance.
Mine burned the thermal fuse making it bad as well as melting the entire connector. I gutted the plastic to drill contacts for a positive screwed on connector, with new 10 gauge wire I reused it to save the price of the part. Works fine. Seems kinda stupid to put a thermal fuse in there if it can still melt bad enough to possibly cause a fire. Found it by the wisp of smoke coming from it.........
Extremely rare for a piece of resistor wire to simply go bad, you can recover the part with a bit of thinking. Easiest $60 I ever made.
To OP, check the resistor for continuity, if good go for low speed relay next, it can be bypassed to check both the circuit and the relay itself. Have you checked the fuses for it yet, shoulda done that first.
Fan power flow is through fuse (for high and low speed), then relay, then another lower rated fuse I'm thinking for low speed only, then resistor if low speed. Sounds like you've lost the low speed circuit. Also check both fans and see if they spin freely by hand, seized up will spit fuses.

Fremantle coach Ross Lyon has identified stopping Adelaide's midfield group as the top priority for his side on Saturday.
The Crows sit second on the ladder and are ranked No.1 in the competition for clearances and contested possessions.
Lyon said halting Adelaide's flow from the clearances and cutting supply to their forward line would go a long way towards grabbing the four points.
"They're a dominating clearance team, they rank in the top four in the AFL in contested ball," he said.
"From there they like to kick it a lot. They go to their key forwards and they've got a fleet of small players that really damaged us last time.
"The simplicity is good and that's what they bring - contest, clearance and kicking use to their talls with smalls at their feet."
Lyon said Fremantle would pay closer attention to Matthew Wright, Ian Callinan and Jarred Petrenko, who hurt them last time they played the Crows.
He also said he would only tag one of Adelaide's midfield group in Scott Thompson, Bernie Vince, Rory Sloane and Patrick Dangerfield and back his midfielder's to take the game on.
"We always go with someone, so does (Ryan) Crowley go to Thompson like he did last time, Dangerfield, Vince, Sloane's been exceptional. We've got to try and identify one," he said.
"Our midfield, we've been backing everyone in and you just rely on your team defence.
"People get off the chain and they roll over and they cover them when they're in dangerous space."
The Dockers have won their past five matches on the back of their own improved performances at stoppages.
Lyon said the most notable change was effort.
"Our contest and clearance work has improved significantly over the last five weeks and that's been personnel changes, slight structure tweaks, and then bringing great effort," Lyon said.
"We're scoring more from clearances and we're creating good turnovers in the midfield. They're the things that have given opportunities for the forwards."
Alex Silvagni will replace the suspended Luke McPharlin, who was rubbed out for one week after Fremantle failed in their bid to have his forceful front-on contact charge downgraded at the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night.
Nick Suban has replaced Dylan Roberton in the team, while Lachie Neale travelled as the emergency.
A win would see Fremantle move into the top eight with seventh-placed North Melbourne and eight-placed Essendon to clash on Sunday.

1. Lines
Problem: The line organization could use some work. Not once during my time at Acen did I ever notice the IRT staff enforcing the "30 minute" wait rule. At most they would announce "Hey you guys can't wait here". Nice effort, but almost nobody listened and the large mobs continued to wait in the general area for the line to form.
Solution: Since the IRT can't really enforce the "no waiting before 30 minutes" rule, there needs to be another system. One that uses the mob mentality rather than actively fights against it. For example, you could post the floor-plans/maps of the various hotels inside the guidebook. On these maps would be color coded lines with predetermined paths for each of the rooms. Therefore, instead of the lines forming randomly and the IRT having no idea how to organize the group, people wanting to wait for a panel and IRT in charge of maintaining the lines will advanced information on where to go. This solution combines the organizational needs of the IRT and staff while simultaneously allowing the eager con-goers to line up early to their hearts content
Our issues with starting lines are a continual uphill battle. Personally from what I saw this year, I think we're doing better at starting and clearing lines. This coming year the discouraging of lines forming will play a larger part in all our ops' training, and we will have a better idea of what we need to work on with our (new in 2012!) line control team.
I like your creative solution to forming lines, though not everyone looks at the guidebook. But IRT doesn't actually do line control for panels not in the Grand Ballroom or Rosemont Ballroom. That crowd control is the responsibility of Panel Programming. We intend on working with them to help with this, but we simply don't have enough staff to do line control for each of their panels. In my opinion, better signage will help, as will better training.
You can consider your suggestions officially noted by IRT. ^_^

Pupus & Pitches – a casual meeting of a few investors and excitable entrepreneurs held at the Waikiki Yacht Club. This round there were just three pitches, and although it was a lean crowd (Update: the organizers say that the event was "sold out") the scale of the pitches and participating investors made it an interesting event. As always, the food was phenomenal.
A quick word about Peter Kay, the facilitator – I thought he did an okay job at introductions but some of his comments were awkward and a little condescending. He could have been kinder to Dare Share, an entertainment app team that demo'd their technology before the main event.
Also appearing as appetizers to the main event was the program Camp Bizgym, a K-12 camp that focuses on helping kids make video pitches for kickstarter funding; and a short shoutout from Blue Startups about their fast approaching application deadline (end of July).
The venture capitalists present at the main event represented Epic Ventures and Wedbush Capital Partners (Update: Wedbush is a "private equity firm," not a VC). Epic Ventures, based out of Utah, does seed and early stage funding in the $250K – $3mil range. Wedbush Capital Partners is based in LA and aims for $2-$10mil initial equity investments.
Ala Wai Pharma – Novel Flu Vaccine Delivery System
Led by Barry Weinman, the Ala Wai team is looking for 300k of initial seed capital to launch a unique oral flu vaccine delivery system which claims a 20 fold efficacy increase over the closest market competitor. The presentation was a little dry but very straightforward and understandable.
Kai Medical – Sleep Apnea solution
This was an odd presentation, there were a lot of reserved statements and withheld information. The technology seems cool but when you are asking for $10 million in funding on top of a previous
round valuation of $38 million, with no current sales info given, its difficult to believe in the product.
Tow Choice – Tow Truck Marketplace app
There's not much to say about this company that hasn't been said already – they've been through Startup Paradise accelerator program and pitched at a few previous events. They seem to meet a potential client at every pitch they do, this time it was the brother of one of the participating capitalists.
Pupus & Pitches round 3 was sponsored by HiBeam, HTDC, and Central Pacific Bank

Well if you don't like the idea, it does not mean that the idea is dumbest. If you like to have round marks of wine on your wood table it's your problem..many ppl don't. It also works for ppl that goes around with glasses without bring their holders, and believe me, they are many. So i love the idea, would make in a different color with a different yard and maybe some little roses or beads on the stripes but all in all it's an excellent idea and i thank for the project!

Getting Contractor Assistance, Doing Work Myself
I have several projects that I want to do myself, but lack the confidence to tackle it without getting some assistance from a contractor. Mostly, I want the contractor to help get me started - like on re-shingling the side of my house. I also have several widows that need to be replaced as part of the shingle job.
Will a contractor want anything to do with me if there's little in it for him? And, if I am able to get a contractor, what should the contract state to cover the me as homeowner wanting to do 90% of the labor, but still keep the relationship flexible enough so the contractor can jump in if necessary? Keeping in mind I would not want him finishing-off the job in one day while I'm at work!
Does anyone have any advice regarding my situation, etc?
It's going to be very tough to find an experienced contractor (not related to you) that can guide you through all of this at little to no charge.
Only thing I could offer is to find one with a hankering for brew and offer to buy him a few 24 packs and come over to check things out for you without actually doing any of the work.
Most decent and experienced contractors are far too busy with normal paying projects that take up all of their time...
-My 2 cents
your 2 cents are too expensive for Sean. :laughing:
Just kidding Sean.
How about you let these wonderful professional people at the diy chatroom help you.
I pretty much have never done anything before in terms of construction and building and I am in the process of framing my basement and renovating it.
It's amazing what you can learn here.
And it's free.
I won't charge you 2 cents, Sean, like Atlantic did. :laughing:
(These contractors, always looking to make a quick 2 cents) :laughing:
Just kidding Atlantic, you know I love you.
(I have a sense of humour, very important in life)
Don't believe you are going to have much luck here. As you stated" why would a contractor want anything to do with me if there is little in it for him". As a contractor, our job is to run construction projects to make a living, not watch diy projects go bad, then be asked to salvage them. I promise you it will be cheaper to pay the contractor to do it the first time, than hire him to fix something you botched.
No, I am not a diy hating contractor, but just from your statements, it sounds like you are trying to tackle projects for the first time, and you already know they are over your head. If you are lacking that much confidence, you should hold off on anything major until you have gained a few more skills.
Reshingling the side of your house usually is more involved than first expected, and will end up calling on some skills in quite a few trade areas. Replacing windows usually leads to the discovery of rotten framing around them,the need to waterproof and flash the new ones, interior trim that will have to be removed and replaced or possibly re-created from scratch, and some knowledge of how to set up the shingle courses so that they line up properly with the top and bottom of windows.
Not trying to sound mean, but I just see too many horrors a couple of years later from poor work that was supossed to save money.
All very true....

NBA sponsors such as Nike, Right Guard and AmEx take playoff activation efforts digital
Published April 30, 2012, Page 32
NBA data shows that more fans are engaging with the league digitally, so much of the marketing will be Web-based. Emilio Collins, the league's senior vice president of global marketing
|It's the playoffs, and the NBA would like a word with you — several, actually — as part of its "Big" ad campaign.
Nike is bringing back its "Epic" ad and social media campaign tied to its Facebook page. A "How Do You Keep Your Cool?" Facebook promo from Dial's Right Guard solicits consumer examples of "coolness," offering NBA Finals tickets as a top prize. American Express will tie into TNT's live streaming of playoff games, while wireless sponsor Sprint is backing an online playoff brackets game on NBA.com in which fans select top highlights with an All-Star Game trip layered in as a prize.
Kia has added the Rookie of the Year to its other NBA awards, while Anheuser-Busch has a sweepstakes offering an NBA playoffs viewing party in the winning fan's home market as the top prize. It also will produce commemorative bottles in the home market of the Finals victor.
Meanwhile, Under Armour will start a court-refurbishment program in five markets this month.
During the playoffs, new ads are expected from Adidas centering on a shoe launch around Chicago's Derrick Rose. Sprint will break creative from new endorser Steve Nash for an electronics buyback program.
Turner will promote the NBA playoffs with its annual "Win Or Go Home" tag line, and the marketing campaign for TNT and Turner-run NBA TV will include a "building takeover" of the New York Times building in midtown Manhattan festooned with banners of various NBA all-stars.
The NBA's "Big" institutional ad campaign will be tweaked during the postseason to focus on meaningful postseason moments.
On the experiential side, the NBA has an intriguing playoffs program at a Wal-Mart that will bring a mini NBA Fan Jam to a store in suburban Chicago. There will be appearances by players and legends, video game competitions, and a fashion show featuring licensed apparel. Fans also will be able to have their picture taken with the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy.
The 20,000-square-foot NBA Nation fan tour, presented by Sprint, will make eight stops during the playoffs, even in markets where teams didn't make the postseason. The fan tour hits Houston, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Charlotte, New York, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.

Train drivers' ratings of perceived risk associated with illegal behaviours at level-crossings
Davey, Jeremy D., Wallace, Angela M., Stenson, Nicholas J, & Freeman, James E. (2007) Train drivers' ratings of perceived risk associated with illegal behaviours at level-crossings. Journal of Occupational Health and Safety, Australia and New Zealand, 23(5), pp. 445-450.
|PDF (65kB)
Problem. Accidents between motorists and trains at road/rail level crossings represent a significant portion of Australia's rail toll. This study represents an attempt at articulating the understanding of the specific motorist behaviours that are most instrumental in contributing to such accidents. Method. Forty-seven (47) train drivers, including representatives from both regional and metropolitan settings, were provided a list of commonly observed illegal motorist behaviours, developed in consultation with an expert panel, and were asked to rate each of them on a Likert-scale from 1 to 5, from lowest risk to highest risk. Results. In general, the highest rated behaviours for risk reflected wilful violations by motorists, with negligent lapse-style behaviours rated close behind. Discussion. Differences between the ratings of the urban and regional sample are highlighted, and implications for the use of the findings toward improved level crossing safety are discussed.

Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) highlighted recent success at this year's National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas with two new landmark specifications, DVB-S2 for advanced satellite services and DVB-H for accessing DVB services on mobile handheld devices.
Building on the success of the DVB-S satellite transmission specification, DVB-S2 offers greater flexibility and better performance over existing satellites at reasonable cost. The new open specification offers a 30 percent capacity increase under the same transmission conditions, more robust reception for the same spectrum efficiency and will operate for carrier-to-noise ratios as low as -2dB to +16dB. Spectrum efficiencies up to 4.5 bit/sec/Hz can be achieved.
In addition, DVB-H is based on the current DVB-T standard and is purposed for the new service scenarios where small, pocket-size mobile terminals receive broadcast service on the move.
The new DVB-H standard, while by no way changing the current digital TV business models for fixed reception, could provide new business possibilities for a variety of players from broadcast and cellular operators to chip and equipment manufacturers.
For broadcasters, it provides a new vehicle to reach their customers while they are on the move. For cellular operators, it provides a cost-efficient way to implement data broadcast services. For users, the standard means a more inexpensive and richer content experience in the mobile environment.

Honduras' ousted President Manuel Zelaya said he was getting on a flight home to reclaim his post today, accompanied by the UN General Assembly president and a group of journalists.
The interim government said it ordered the military to prevent the landing of Zelaya's plane. If turned away, it will likely land in El Salvador, where a separate flight was headed with Latin American leaders who support Zelaya's reinstatement.
Thousands of protesters were gathering in the capital of Honduras in anticipation of Zelaya's showdown against the interim government in power since the army ousted him.
Police helicopters hovered over the main Tegucigalpa airport, where soldiers outnumbered travelers and commercial flights were canceled. Access roads were cut off by police checkpoints, with soldiers standing guard alongside.
"The government of President (Roberto) Micheletti has order the armed forces and the police not to allow the entrance of any plane bringing the former leader," the foreign minister of the interim government, Enrique Ortez, told The Associated Press on Sunday.
In Washington, Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa says the safety of Zelaya's flight could not be guaranteed. Correa said he would fly with the presidents of Argentina and Paraguay and the secretary-general of the Organization of American States on Tango One, the Argentine presidential plane, to the Salvadoran capital.
The country's new government has vowed to arrest Zelaya for 18 alleged criminal acts including treason and failing to implement more than 80 laws approved by Congress since taking office in 2006.
Despite a Supreme Court ruling, Zelaya had also pressed ahead with a referendum on whether to hold an assembly to consider changing the constitution, and critics feared he would press to extend his rule.
But by sending soldiers to shoot up the presidential residence and fly Zelaya into exile a week ago, the Micheletti government has brought itself universal condemnations from the United Nations and OAS.
No nation has recognized the new government; President Barack Obama has united with conservative Alvaro Uribe of Colombia and leftist Hugo Chavez of Venezuela in criticism.
The OAS had given the Honduran government until Saturday to reinstate Zelaya, and sent two emergency missions to Honduras in hopes of heading off an escalation. But Micheletti pointedly rejected the group's demands.
The poor Central American country's Roman Catholic archbishop and its human right commissioner urged Zelaya to stay away, warning that his return could spark bloodshed. The interim government said it would arrest Zelaya and put him on trial despite near-universal international condemnation of the coup that removed him as he campaigned to revise the constitution.
In Washington, the Organization of American States suspended Honduras as a member late Saturday. Micheletti preemptively pulled out of the OAS hours earlier rather than comply with an ultimatum that Zelaya be restored.
Zelaya has urged loyalists to support his arrival in Honduras in a peaceful show of force.
"We are going to show up at the Honduras International Airport in Tegucigalpa ... and on Sunday we will be in Tegucigalpa," Zelaya said Saturday in the taped statement carried on the Web sites of the Telesur and Cubadebate media outlets. "Practice what I have always preached, which is nonviolence."
Zelaya supporters gathered Sunday morning at a university on the south side of the capital and planned to march to the airport a few miles away.
"We have no pistols or arms, just our principles," said Rafael Alegria, a prominent pro-Zelaya protest organizer. "We have the legitimate right to fight for the defense of democracy and to restore President Zelaya."
Large crowds of Zelaya's critics have staged their own daily demonstrations to back Micheletti, the congressional president who was named by lawmakers to finish out the final six months of the Zelaya's term.
Most of the ousted leader's supporters come from the working and middle classes of this impoverished nation, while his opponents are based in the ranks of the well-to-do — although the increasingly leftist approach of the wealthy rancher had eroded his popular support.

This wasn't the best year for Super Bowl ads. It is rare to get something fresh and original these days. When you do, you tend to see it repeated by others the following year, for instance the longer-format story telling in car ads. If not for the controversy surrounding the VW ads, it wouldn't even be discussed today.
As a brand, I thought Oreo did a nice job. In addition to the ad, they got some good buzz online during the blackout with some quickly turned around (and approved) creative they were able to tweet.
I'm glad to see a former colleague is having a good time with the Pistacio folks, and yes, I too wish GoDaddy would just go away.

Hi, my website is @ www.simplifiedhost.com I recently had my template created, but it looks pretty bad imo. I really wanted something simple like www.bluevm.com . Could you create me something like www.bluevm.com, but yet unique at the same time? Obviously, I just need a simple theme ( hint my domain name being www.simplifiedhost.com ) I could pay $25, and throw in some other goodies and such. I will not be giving out ANY payments until the theme is finished; I have been getting scammed too much. A TON of money was wasted on fiverr.com. Thanks!
Good luck finding someone that will make you the theme for 25$ and no payment upfront

Carr, DeRuyter Take Bulldog Express to Bakersfield
June 5, 2013
By Jason Clay
By Jason Clay
FRESNO, Calif. - The 940 AM ESPN Radio and Paul Evert's RV Country Bulldog Express hit Bakersfield on Wednesday with head coach Tim DeRuyter and quarterback Derek Carr to meet with fans in the Me-n-Ed's at the Marketplace.
Right when the crew arrived in Bakersfield, a group of fans in a Bulldog-clad RV meet DeRuyter and Carr for pictures before they headed into the Me-n-Ed's.
"We had a great reception down here, a tremendous crown and we've always had great support from the Bakersfield community," DeRuyter said. "So to come down here and meet some great people made for a great event."
Carr, who is a native of Bakersfield, said it was great to be back in his hometown.
"It reminds me of why I love this place so much and why I love the Valley," Carr said. "These people genuinely love us, they care about us and they want to see us to succeed, so it was great to see the fans come out and share their support with us and coach."
Wednesday was the third day of the Bulldog Express, painting the Valley red by hitting stops throughout the region.
After driving over 800 miles in the first three days, Thursday is an off day. Things pick back up on Friday with a morning visit at the Madera Auto Center from 9-11 a.m. and a afternoon event at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Fresno from 3-6 p.m.
"Discover Fresno State Football" - 2013 Fresno State football season tickets are now on sale and can be ordered online at gobulldogs.com or over the phone at 559-278-DOGS (3647).

The Browns waived cornerback Vernon Kearney, defensive end Dave Kruger, wide receiver Cordell Roberson and inside linebacker Tommy Smith, the team announced today. All four players are undrafted rookies.
The Browns now have 84 players on their roster.
All NFL teams are required to trim their rosters to a maximum of 75 players before 4 p.m. Tuesday and a maximum of 53 players before 6 p.m. Saturday.


text: OK, so the draft didn't work out this time. Things that went wrong: Some people's exclude list didn't work. Roscoe's team didn't set the exclude list. Some people had different exclude rankings. Options as I see it are limited. We can do another Live Draft, however it is going to be late notice for everyone to do another this weekend probably, which means the league will not start until Week 4. By this time, a lot of NBA teams will be getting set in their rosters and takes away some of the fun of predicting who's going to play, etc... I just don't see any other alternative. I can create another league and schedule another draft and will clarify the exclude list again for next week. But that's not to say that the same thing might happen again. The only way to be 100% sure of the draft working is for eveyone to be at the live draft. Anyone else have any ideas?

Today the local Republican Party came out with some bold statements criticizing Mayor Jerry Abramson. Brad Cummings, the local GOP chair, for the first time, listed the Mayor's sins in a lengthy document, which you can see here.
Ultimately, the Republicans are encouraging the Mayor not to run for another term. Last week, amid speculation that he might be a part of Steve Beshear's gubernatorial ticket in 2011, Abramson said he'd make a decision on his future by August.
The GOP isn't alone in criticizing the Mayor, and perhaps today's presser is meant to persuade him in making that decision. A loud contingent of South End-ers, led by Doug Hawkins, has its own complaints about the Mayor on multiple issues ranging from taxes to placement of a bomb storage facility.
The Mayor might be considering whether he's up for a campaign in which he'll be mightily criticized, but the GOP campaign could also backfire and push the ego-flashing Mayor toward a more determined run for re-election. Who knows what he's thinking?
The question remains, though, who's got the name ID and resources to challenge him? Certainly no one on the Metro Council, though we've speculated that the Republicans might put up Kevin Kramer. It's hard to imagine him doing any better than Kelly Downard last time.
The critiques center on the multiple controversies we've been chronicling in the last several years. You know what we're talking about here, but the list indicts the Mayor for his handling of and promotion of individuals in the departments of Inspections, Permits and Licensing, Metro Animal Services, Planning and Zoning, Libraries and the notorious Department of Housing. Cummings didn't even mention the problems at Corrections, which is a disaster waiting to happen.
Any opponent would be able to thrust these people into the spotlight of a political race — John Flood, Kimberly Bunton, Charles Cash, Gilles Meloche and Mark Bolton — just to put names to the perceived Abramson mistakes.
Cummings devotes much of his speech to criticism of the city's deal with Cordish Companies, but doesn't talk about his ill-conceived decision to promise to clean up everyone's yard after the big storms.
The local GOP makes a strong case against Abramson, and no doubt wants him to get to a decision on running again right away. The field for the 2010 Mayor's race won't form until we knew whether Jerry's in or out, and there are plenty of people eyeing the race with a plan to jump in if Jerry's out.
