Software-Based Lock-in Amplifiers-Myth or Reality?
The development of software-driven instrumentation is revolutionizing the extraction of small AC signals that are either partially or completely buried in noise.
by Armando Valim, Aljosa Vrancic, Philip Kromer, & Roger D. Bengtson
November 2002
We are all familiar with examples of new PC technology that changed traditional ways of doing things, such as listening to MP3s, watching DVDs, and the multiple advantages of the Internet. PC performance is improving so much that desktop PCs can run applications that once required proprietary hardware such as stand-alone equipment, workstations, etc. Common examples of software-based applications are music compression (MP3), video compression (MPEG), and software-based modems (modems with fewer ICs and more software decoding). This same technology is revolutionizing the world of instrumentation. One example of this rapid change is in lock-in amplifiers.
The traditional way to measure small signals buried in noise was to use a stand-alone lock-in amplifier instrument. With software-based lock-in amplifiers, engineers reduce development time and deliver applications that can run more than 30 times faster than traditional methods. The paradigm shift occurred because all functions of a traditional lock-in amplifier can be performed by a PC using off-the-shelf data acquisition devices and free software such as the NI Lock-in amplifier start-up kit and UTiLIA (A PC-Based Lock-in Amplifier from www.mrflip.com)1. In fact, PC processing power is increasing so fast that it is hard for DSP (digital signal processor) technology to keep up with the latest advances. Therefore, using software-based instruments, you can easily customize them to your particular needs and leverage new developments from the PC industry. Actually, thousands of engineers and scientists are going beyond what traditional black-box DSP implementations can do by defining the hardware functionality in software and using low-cost computer-based technologies to create virtual instrumentation.
Lock-in applications are used across several industries for spectroscopy, optics, and other applications. For example, Philip Kromer and Roger Bengtson, from the Department of Physics at the University of Texas at Austin, used a software implementation of the lock-in amplifier technique (UTiLIA) to measure the resistance of a high-temperature superconductor in an undergraduate laboratory directly by applying a known current across the sample and measuring its resistive voltage drop. The problem is particularly difficult because the resistive voltage vary from ~1mV while normally conducting to <10 nV during superconducting.
Another software lock-in implementation was presented by Aljosa Vrancic during NIWeek 2002, which extracted a 1.0 microV signal buried 160 dB in the input signal noise. The experiment goal was to use a photodetector to measure a weak light signal from a flash light and extract it from 9V noise coming from the ambient light (several reflectors and a spot light). To add complexity to the demo, the presenter utilized a general purpose data acquisition board used earlier for vibration measurements.

is Media Violence?
is "a credible threat of physical force, or the application
of physical force, intended to cause physical harm to an animate
being or group of beings." The important things to note are
that there needs to be intent to hurt and that the hurt is
inflicted on living things rather than objects. Violence in
the media is easily accessible to children. It occurs in cartoons,
in news updates during family programs, in the news, in televised
sporting events, and in "blockbuster' movies screened at 8.30pm
on TV. Previews for forthcoming movies on the, parents often
feel ambushed by these as they cannot be anticipated. We often
find we have let into our homes through our TV screens what
we would never let in through our front door.
does the Research Show?
is increasing instances of juveniles, adolescents, young adults
and older committing crimes such as murder, assault and burglary.
Members of society find themselves asking why this is happening.
Images and themes found on the television often get the blame.
Psychological research has shown three major effects of seeing
violence on television:
is also blamed for children being unable to distinguish between
fantasy and reality. Teachers spend hours helping students
"unlearn" what TV has taught them. Forever fighting the stereotypical
images and unreal life-styles that television portrays.
Continuing Debate
spite of this strong evidence, broadcasters and scientists
continue to debate the link between viewing TV violence and
children's aggressive behaviour. Some broadcasters believe
that there is not enough evidence to prove that TV violence
is harmful. But scientists who have studied this issue say
that there is a link between TV violence and aggression, and
in 1992, the American Psychological Association's Task Force
on Television and Society published a report that confirms
this view. The report, entitled Big World, Small Screen: The
Role of Television in American Society, shows that the harmful
effects of TV violence do exist.
Parents Can Do
most scientists are convinced that children can learn aggressive
behaviour from television, they also point out that parents
have a tremendous power to moderate that influence. Parents

People Over the Sea: Nordic and Scottish Perspectives
29 August - 1 September
Call for papers
The North Sea and North Atlantic have historically provided a natural conduit linking the British Isles with the Nordic countries. Early Norse and Viking colonisations and settlements have made a lasting impression on life both in Scotland and in Britain as a whole, evidence of which can be found in place names, language and other aspects of cultural heritage, and even in genes. Over the centuries, numerous political alliances, intrigues and annexations have been conducted through journeys across the sea between Scotland, Norway and Denmark, as well as further afield. Scottish and Nordic sailors and fishermen have encountered one another – sometimes peacefully but at other times quite violently – in their exploitation of the sea as both a transport route and the provider of marine resources. In more recent times, exploitation has penetrated beneath the seabed, which is now dotted with British, Norwegian and Danish oil platforms, while the cities of Aberdeen, Stavanger, and Esbjerg comprise the North Sea 'triangle'. It is above all their history of seafaring that Scotland and the Nordic countries have in common.
The sea is thus a most appropriate topic for an anthropological symposium held at St Andrews, where the university, one of the oldest in the world, has been looking over the sea in the direction of the Nordic countries for six centuries. The symposium will focus on the overall topic of the sea and the people surrounding it. Presentations will be oriented around the following sub-themes:
- The wealth of oceans: social and ecological relations of marine resource extraction;
- Lines of seafaring: place, memory and navigation;
- From coast to coast: how the sea joins the land;
- Stories aboard: narrative, song and dance on deck and on land;
- Water crafts: the skills of boat-building, mending and sailing;
- The social life of fluid space.
Although there will be a strong regional emphasis on Scotland and the Nordic countries, this does not exclude anthropological research from other parts of the world, especially when carried out by Scottish and/or Nordic scholars. Since the symposium forms part of the overall NAFA event, including a festival of ethnographic films, presentations dealing with audio-visual or sensuous perceptions and representations are particularly welcome. Submission should be effected online.
It is planned for the results of the symposium and a selection of papers to be published in a peer-reviewed book.

On International Womens Day we reproduce the poignant words of the Independent Irish MEP, Luke 'Ming' Flanagan regarding the brutal oppression of working class women by the Catholic Church in 20th Century Ireland. Let this serve as a stark reminder of the dark forces that lay behind the counter-revolutionary Irish 'Free State' government:
"You've had your bit of fun, now feel the bloody pain"
Those were the words said to my mother as she screamed in pain while giving birth to me. They were said to her by a 'Bride of Christ' or a nun for those who don't follow the lingo. Now you'd think the nuns would have loved my mother. Catholic. Didn't believe in contraception. Pro-life as the phrase goes. Five children already delivered for god. My father was even a carpenter.
But they didn't love my mother. They loved no one. Just hated. Hated the fact that this world is uncontrollable. Full with people of free will. Full of unpredictability. However that didn't stop them from attempting to control it. Whatever it took. Even if it meant making my mother feel dirty for having enjoyed the love of my father. Even when my mother had followed their teaching, it wasn't enough. It had to be hell. Any bit of fun wakes the devil so it seems.
I myself now have three beautiful daughters. If my wife and I had been around fifty years earlier I would now have none. You see the first two were born outside wedlock. Fifty years ago the church would have intervened to make sure the second one would never have happened. My first born would have been sold, she's pretty. My wife would have died prematurely in a glorified concentration camp and because I wouldn't have accepted it, I would have been sent to a mental hospital to rot.
I don't believe in God myself. But the story of Jesus I heard certainly doesn't chime with what was rammed down this countries throat. Whatever happened to loving your neighbour? Where did the bit about free will disappear to when it comes to women's bodies? Whatever happened to the parable of casting stones? In fact from what I can see, if Jesus had been around Ireland in the 40s, 50s and 60s he'd have been locked up himself for being different.
When I hear the line that society was complicit in the latest Church atrocity to be exposed, I get angry. Who are we on about here? People living in overcrowded houses with barely enough to eat. They were expected to speak out? Do I really need to write this. Do I really need to spell it out for those bullshit historians. Does one really have to say – 'But they too would have been incarcerated if they spoke out' – Is this not obvious?
Well it is obvious. But accepting this obvious truth can't be allowed. You see if we dont take the blame then the Church will need to. Sure we couldn't have that. Especially after all they've done for us…
I held my children that bit closer last weekend. For fear of what might have been.

Why? I haven't had any problems with the fact that the lease database
is lost on reboot. The ISC DHCP server, as used by m0n0wall, also
attempts to ping an IP address before assigning it to a client to
minimize the possibility of conflicts. And besides, none of the box

Frequently Asked Questions about Ibogaine Treatment
Please contact us with any questions.
What is ibogaine?
Over ten years ago, we discovered an ancient natural tribal remedy in the Tabernanthe Iboga shrub native to Gabon and other nations in West Central Africa. It has long been used in shamanic rituals of initiation and spiritual quests.
The derived substance that we are using is called Ibogaine. In the 1960s it was discovered that Ibogaine has the property of interrupting substance addiction with minimal side-effects. With the help of this natural extract, addicts experience symptom-free withdrawal, a true full physiological release from chemical dependency. With a very specific type of counseling during and following Ibogaine treatment, the "ex-addicts" are able to focus on underlying causes to heal the psychological aspects as well.See introduction
How does ibogaine work?
Ibogaine is an oneirophrenia (dream-like state inducing) drug that activates the user's long-term memory, bringing to the surface information from the unconscious, causing vast self-insight. Therapists consider one Ibogaine experience to be equal to years of talk or group therapy. Some patients describe their experience as being in a dream and watching sketches or a slideshow of their life. Other patients have described their experience as if they went into the file cabinets in their brain and re-organized it. Ibogaine allows one to see one's true self and to re-experience past events and repressed memories in a detached way without the emotional pain often associated with these memories. The psychotherapeutic benefits of an Ibogaine experience have served as a major breakthrough for addicts who have previously lacked an understanding of themselves.See how it works
How is ibogaine administered?
Any treatment provided by an experienced and knowledgeable Ibogaine therapist will include a medical and psychiatric review for the patient's safety. After the reviews, an appropriately-leveled dose of Ibogaine is administered orally with a therapist present.
Why should I choose the I Begin Again Center?
Our leading therapist, Eric Taub, has performed hundreds of therapeutic ibogaine sessions in the last ten years all over the world. He has been referenced in numerous scientific papers including Ibogaine: Proceedings of the First International Conference, The Journal of Primal Psychology, and also served as a contributing author for the Manual for Ibogaine Therapy. His interviews have been featured on such radio shows as the Conscious Café out of San Francisco and have also appeared in publications such as The Resonance Project and The London Times.The following is taken from the Ibogaine feature in the London Times:
"Devout ibogaine advocate Eric Taub used to treat people on a boat
in international waters. He now has clinics in Costa Rica and Italy, and
is the source of most satisfied experience reports."
What happens during the session?
Is ibogaine recognized in the medical community?
Because ibogaine is illegal in many countries, it is only recognized by some doctors with others fearing for the repurcussions for endorsing an illegal drug. Please see our articles section for more on this debate between use and legality.
How much does it cost?

I haven't actually tried this myself, but can you say what exactly you

Hmmm...interesting. I haven't tried turning it on and off.
This isn't a lot of help to you, I realize. Packet traces
(e.g. tcpdump or ethereal) on each side of the bridge might help you
figure out what's really going on here.

The ability of disclosures on Twitter to make nonsense of privacy injunctions is causing understandable consternation at present (Privacy laws in chaos as MP names Giggs over injunction, 24 May).
The solution may lie in distinguishing between the rights of private individuals and those of public figures, as happens in the US. In the UK we make no such distinction and sporting figures, celebrities and politicians enjoy the same expectation of privacy as private citizens. While that expectation is balanced against any public interest in disclosure, UK law does not recognise that the public persona of a celebrity gives rise in itself to any such public interest.
In the US the position is different. There, both privacy and libel laws distinguish between private individuals and public figures. The rationale is that the conduct of public figures is capable of having a significant effect upon the behaviour, lifestyle and culture of the general population. This gives rise to the necessary public interest in disclosure of their conduct, and public figures are only protected by privacy laws in exceptional circumstances.
Introducing a similar distinction in the UK would largely resolve the injunction/Twitter debate, because privacy injunctions would not generally be available to public figures. Unlike a Premier League footballer, a private individual who obtains an injunction is unlikely to be the subject of widespread gossip on social media sites. The only necessary change to the law would be a recognition that, in contrast with the present position, there is a public interest in the conduct of those individuals who choose to place themselves in the public eye.

Head of media litigation, Manches LLP
• The prime minister has shown the good sense to admit superinjunctions and other assorted gagging orders are becoming farcical in the face of the Twittersphere. David Cameron also effectively acknowledged the existence of a two-tier media landscape in which mainstream newspapers and broadcasters are "unfairly" handicapped while an impossible to police social networking frenzy renders gagging orders largely impotent. As a former national newspaper editor turned PR consultant I knew for some time the names of the celebrities involved. But I hadn't really expected my two young sons, aged 10 and eight, to come bouncing home from school a few afternoons ago to name Ryan Giggs, the eight-year-old's football hero, plus another player with a gagging order, and announce that it was the talk of the playground. Even Mr Justice Eady and our judicial hierarchy must surely now concede they look like latterday King Canutes floundering to turn back the tide in the internet age. Out of the mouths of babes indeed...

• David Cameron has a responsibility to absorb the complexity of any given situation, but instead he appears to have swiftly taken a populist view of the events of the last few days and endorsed the mass online outcry over injunctions.
There is no doubt the landslide towards total disclosure was inevitable as of yesterday morning, but it was the comments of a coalition politician known for his campaigning on freedom of speech that finally unmuzzled the country's press. Was John Hemming primed? Was he given the nod by Downing Street? If so, the machiavellian move is of less interest than the reasoning behind it.
There is a sense of manipulation from start to finish in this affair. It is almost certain that a journalist leaked this to Twitter in the first place to test the boundaries of injunctions. And once momentum built, the process became a ruthless race to the denouement – fuelled by outraged editorials whipping the population into a frenzy, leading to the great simultaneous unveiling across the English media of the protagonist.
Will we walk away from this in any way bettered? Sure, we can now pore over every juicy detail of an alleged affair. We have been given permission to enjoy the failings of another human once again in the interests of free speech.
And finally, when the dust settles, we are left with a broken family, a prime minister who has shown his true colours as a calculating and potentially highly manipulative politician, and the rampant British press. I for one feel slightly sick.

• The ability of MPs to speak freely in parliament is a bedrock of our democracy, and parliamentary privilege exists to protect us in doing so. But with privilege comes a responsibility to use it wisely.
The decision by John Hemming to name an individual who has taken out an injunction was wrong on two counts. First, it failed to distinguish between what may be interesting to people and what is in the public interest. Second, whether we keep our current law on privacy as expressed in the Human Rights Act or choose to amend it in some way through the work of the joint committee now being set up, it will still be for the courts to interpret the law in individual cases. As MPs we should respect that, unless there are overwhelming reasons of public interest to do otherwise, because that is the best way in which to uphold the freedom of parliament to do its job.
Hilary Benn
Shadow leader of the House of Commons
• Parliamentary privilege is indeed a privilege, to be used with care and only when in the national interest to do so. Outing a footballer is hardly of any interest, national or otherwise. Using it to sate the tabloid press, and to dance attendance on social networks hardly meets the criteria either; nor does a cheap attempt to score points in a misconceived trial of strength with judges. A more mature and careful discussion of the issue of information diahorrea is called for – this action does not take it forward one step.

Australia vs England: James Faulkner records third highest ODI score by a number nine batsman
James Faulkner's unbeaten 69 off 47 balls is the third highest by a number nine batsman in ODIs - the highest two innings being by West Indian batsmen - Andre Russell's 92 not out vs India at North Sound on June 11, 2011 and Darren Sammy's 84 vs Australia at Gros Islet on March 25, 2012.
Statistical highlights from the second ODI between Australia and England in Brisbane:

# Overall, Australia have won 21 and lost 14 out of 39 ODIs played at Gabba (NR 4).

| A. Should FDA initiate a rulemaking to codify its interpretation of section 503(b) of the action regarding when an active ingredient can be simultaneously marketed in both prescription drug product and an OTC drug product?
| The Food and Drug Administration should simply approve without further delay over-the-counter (OTC) sale of emergency contraception - with no prescriptions required for any age group. This obviates the need for any new rulemaking. The two advisory FDA committees that exhaustively reviewed data in December 2003 found that emergency contraception was safe and effective and consequently recommended OTC approval.
More than 70 professional medical and public health associations including the American Medical Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Society for Adolescent Medicine have endorsed EC access for women of all ages. The American Academy of Pediatrics has urged its members to "help ensure that all adolescents have knowledge of and access to contraception, including barrier methods and EC supplies.

Ratcliffe's site allows gamers to list games for swap or sale, then matches people against each other to make the transaction. Interestingly, speaking to her about GaBoom reveals a degree of displeasure about the retail second-hand market you normally only find amongst game publishers.
Pre-owned sales "don't give the consumer the fair value of their game", she told me. "When you have traded a game with a high street retailer, they then sell that game on for a large profit, which shows the game is worth more than what they give to the consumer who has traded the game in."
In contrast, services like GaBoom - or indeed eBay and Amazon Marketplace - give consumers the real value of their games. Even if developers aren't making any money directly off those sales, they can rest easy knowing nobody else is profiteering from their hard work.
Besides, we all know from experience that if you put a bit of money in a gamer's pocket, there's only one place he's likely to spend it. (No, not the pub. The other one.)
Yet in their desperation to crack down on the second-hand trade, the games business may end up eliminating this option as well. Ratcliffe notes that initiatives like Project Ten Dollar and Online Pass harm all kinds of second-hand consumers - and, by extension, the first-hand buyers who want to trade in their games.
"I very much hope we are not seeing a move towards using online functionality to 'punish' second-hand consumers," she said. "I believe that is wrong. Consumers, whether first or second-hand, should never be 'punished' for purchasing a legal item."
It's all too easy to sneer at games industry executives when they make attacks on the second-hand trade, but look closer and it seems unfair to paint them as evil masterminds. Indeed, if any one group emerges as the pantomime villain, it's the retailers.
Considering the economics of how games are made, distributed and enjoyed, the enormous displays of last week's new releases being sold second-hand for a fiver less seem distasteful. The gigantic Book Off stores which dominate so many Japanese street corners, fantastic though they may be, are blatantly thumbing their noses at the publishers who once tried to shut them down.
If anyone is going to make this much money from games, shouldn't it be those who had a hand in their creation?
Yet even this aspect of the debate is complex. Less than six months ago, the boss of GameStop Sweden told the audience at the Develop Conference that "if we hadn't got the used business, we wouldn't be there".
In blunt terms, he cited the used games business as being the difference between GameStop continuing to open new stores and expand games' presence on the high street - and not being there at all.
Some time earlier, SEGA's Mike Hayes had alluded to that same dichotomy. No matter how much he may dislike the second-hand trade, Sega has "a successful business working with the retailers that offer that service."
The bottom line is that game creators have a deal with the devil - if their efforts to cut down on second-hand sales are too successful, they might end up killing off the very retailers upon whom they rely so heavily.
(In fact one Japanese publishing exec gave me a hatful of vitriol for this article, only to retract the whole lot a few days later - having realised it annoy his retail partners. It's clear who still wears the trousers in many of these relationships.)
So they watch, wait and complain bitterly - all the time hoping for the moment when digital distribution technology will allow them to do what present business reality won't permit. And pray, presumably, that national governments don't wake up to the enormous erosion of consumer rights this represents, and step in to legislate against it.
For GaBoom's Ratcliffe, that day seems a long way off. Even while acknowledging the rise of digital distribution, she argues that a move in that direction won't be catastrophic for game swapping or second-hand sales.
"I am confident the second-hand game market has a long term future and will continue to be successful in the coming years," she said. "When you take into account the fact that 12.4 million people in the UK play second-hand video games, I think it firms up the market's future."

Melbourne house duo the Little Beasties are musical soul mates, writes Andrew Drever.
Angela Maison and Ant J Steep - otherwise known as the Little Beasties - are one of the best-known house music partnerships in Melbourne. But they would never have met, Steep says, if it wasn't for Maison's talent for "convincing people to do things they don't realise they actually want to do".
"I was about to start DJing," he recalls of their first meeting. "Next thing I know, the people who ran the party came up and said: `Look, the other DJ's finishing but this friend of ours has to play this one record before you start'. I was thinking: `God, this could be tragic'.
"So Angela came on and put on this record and it was incredible and I was just thinking: `wow!' So then I did a really good mix out of it and she was like: 'wow!' "
Maison and Steep have worked side by side for more than five years and are one of the driving forces behind Melbourne's thriving house music scene. Their debut EP, The Beast, is out soon on acclaimed British dance music label, Music for Freaks, run by Justin Harris and Luke Solomon.
Whether it is their Saturday night Slapshack residency at Honkytonks,
throwing the now defunct Loquegroove and forthcoming Mischief parties,
travelling to Brazil to be tutored at the prestigious Red Bull Music Academy or
recording as the Little Beasties, they are, as Maison puts it, "musical soul
mates, above and beyond everything".
The pair were romantically involved in the past but now prefer to concentrate on music and maintain their friendship.
"Things were getting tense in other parts of our life," Maison says, "and we both wanted to protect the musical relationship above anything else. Yes, it's hard but we both respect the musical relationship we have.
"We both know that we can do music on our own but when it's together it's got this other energy that people respond to on a much greater level. We need to protect that. We run a night and we've signed a recording contract together so you just have to be mature about it."
Honkytonks' Slap Shack sees Maison and Steep playing records each week, often with local, national or international guests. It is one of the most eclectic and musically innovative house nights in Melbourne and has given the duo an increasing international profile as well as the chance to try out new musical ideas.
"Honkytonks has played a pretty big role in our development," Steep says. "Before, we were always just playing someone else's night where you had someone telling you what to do, like a bar manager or someone who's totally removed from anything to do with the music.
"At Honkytonks, we can do what we want to do and experiment. If we play a track and the floor clears, the owners say 'oh, that was great. That filtered all those people out who weren't here for the music'. We've also met a lot of influential people from overseas through bringing them to Honkytonks, so it's been really crucial."
Although they are both classically trained musicians (Steep plays guitar, trumpet, bass and keys, Maison plays the cello and keys), the pair began producing their music in 2001.
The first results of their new British record deal is The Beast EP. They have a second EP ready to go and will deliver their debut album to MFF in June. The Beast comprises three tracks of chugging, organic funk and electronic soul, all with vocals by Maison. Digitize Me has a jazzy 4/4 house groove with quirky flourishes, Shack It swings and stomps with a dark, '70s glam air and Beastie Bump is whimsical beat put through a processor.
Digitize Me was the one that got them signed to MFF. It was written with the label in mind.
"They wanted to change things a bit I think and we came along with an idea that was exactly where they wanted to go," Steep says. "We fit in with their future direction a lot. Luke loves the more melodic side of what we do because he thinks dance music needs stronger lyrics and stories and melodies.
"Freaks was always one of our favourite labels. They're into their artists exploring musically and they rarely sign people who they don't know or haven't met.
"Luke came out here and hung out with us and went back to Justin and said: `Thank God, they're freaks too!' "
Although promotion of Maison and Steep's activities has been deliberately quiet, promo CDs, subtle street press advertising and even a fanzine have played their part in getting the word out. And the mission statement is simple: It's all about the music.
"In every friendship group there's always one person who buys all the music and collects it," Steep says. "Then they share it with the rest. They're the enforcers and they tell everyone where to go: `This is going to be the next big thing.' We try to get to those people."
Maison adds: "I want people to get into good music so that they can then educate themselves and keep up. I just want to give people the opportunity to hear it because I think if they get that first chance, then they have to get into it. You can't go back to shit after you've heard good music. That's my mission."
The Beast EP will be launched tomorrow night at Honkytonks, city.
The two of us: "musical soul mates" Ant J Steep and Angela Maison.

Wonderful Experience!!!!! Wish I was still there!!! : Caribbean Princess Cruise Review by lnuzzo
Overall Member Rating
Wonderful Experience!!!!! Wish I was still there!!!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Initially I was concerned by the number of online reviews complaining about staffing and the run-down atmosphere of the ship, but my fears turned out to be baseless. The ship is clean and glistens. There is a constant hum of staff polishing and shining! All of the staff is outstanding and will go out of their way to help you. We could not have been more pleased with Princess cruises, and the Caribbean Princess. Here is a not too complete impression of our experience.
Fort Lauderdale and Embarkation:
We booked rooms at the Hyatt Regency Pier 66. Originally I was panning on the Hilton Marina, however I stumbled on a great rate at the Hyatt. Most reviews seem unhappy with the pool view rooms, More but we found our room to be clean, and well appointed. our was a king room, with sliders to a sitting area adjacent to the pool. we did not use the pool, or the sitting area as we had plans that evening, but the amenities in the pool area would appeal to many families. We saw volleyball and badminton set up, as well as soccer goals and bocce. lots of activities if you come in early for your cruise. I will say the tree frogs were almost deafening! but we have them here in NC, so eventually I managed to tune them out.
We met local friends for drinks and dinner just over the bridge at Bimini Boat House. Everyone loved the menu, however if you are not a seafood lover, you may want to choose another restaurant. I am allergic to fish and shellfish, so there was only one non-seafood appetizer option, and the usual choice of steak or roast chicken. But the company was excellent, and too soon the evening was over.
Port Everglades was a let down after previously sailing out of Miami. I am hoping that Princess will be investing in their facilities at Port Everglades. Essentially you are in a giant warehouse, following queue after queue, no atmosphere or amenities to be found. I did my best to keep my spirits up, since I knew what waited at the end of the lines. We were dropped off at 11:30, and were on the ship by 1:30, much longer wait times than experienced with RCCL or NCL. However, we were able to immediately drop off our bags in our cabin, and head to the Lido deck.
Ports of Call:
We had decided not to book excursions. Rather we planned to hop a taxi to a local beach in St. Thomas and Grand Turk. In San Juan we were planning on walking the city in the morning, and splitting up in the afternoon, hubby and I going to the Bacardi factory on our own (no excursion) and our friends heading to the beach. well that was our initial plan :-) However after spending 4 hours in the water at Princess Cay, Hubby and I were pretty well sunburnt. And so was my girlfriend. We ended up adjusting our plans.
St Thomas:
We were careful on our sea day between ports, but ultimately in St Thomas, we chose to take it easy and skip Magens Bay. Our friends headed off to the beach, and Hubby and I jumped on a tour by the pier as it was about to leave for $25 pp. If I was not going to the beach, I was definitely going to take in the beautiful ocean views I had been seeing online. Our Driver was Jeff, and a very friendly and chatty guide! we learned a lot about the history of the island, some of the local plants and trees, as well as their uses. The mountain roads were steep with hairpin turns, and at times I thought my husband would fall out to the open taxi! but the views were incredible. I will say that I was quite disappointed with the Mountain Top. It is not quite what I expected from the pics I had seen, but the views from the back deck were incredible. No daiquiris for us (it was 9:30AM). At the end of our tour we could go back to the ship, be dropped off downtown, or ask to be dropped off at a beach. We opted to go downtown for shopping, and meet our friends for lunch. We had a wonderful lunch at Cuzzins which had been highly recommended. My Jerk chicken was well spiced, but not so hot that you could not taste it. Add a Painkiller, and it was a lunch to die for. After lunch my husband was a bit under the weather, and took a taxi to the ship, while my girlfriend and I searched the jewelry shops for the perfect souvenir.
San Juan:
I had downloaded a walking map of Old San Juan, and we walked along the waterfront following the Paseo de la Pricipesa to the old city gates. Unfortunately after we passed through the gates we ended up in the middle of road blocks. Apparently there were protests happening due to the decision regarding potential statehood, independent nation status or continuing as a US commonwealth. There were police and men in dark suits every where, and not knowing the roads very well, we kept hitting road blocks as we attempted to circle around to the landmarks on my map. Ultimately we opted to head out of the area, and trek over to Castillo San Cristobal. After exploring Cristobal, we decided to head to the air-conditioned comfort of lunch. We ate at Raices at the recommendation of several friends familiar with the area. Lunch was quite good, although we all agreed that the mofongo was a bit saltier than we liked. The filling however was wonderful! We again split up, the boys heading back to the ship, my friend still searching for that elusive perfect souvenir. after walking in incredible heat, we headed back to the ship empty handed.
Grand Turk:
I had every intention of checking out all the beach bars listed here on Cruise Critic, however, the lure of the loungers under the palm trees in front to Margaritaville was too strong to ignore. By now the heat was doing me in, and I needed the shade. From the ship I scanned down the beach and saw my only option for shade was at the cruise center, so the decision was made! We camped out in the shade, and at 2:30 had lunch at Margaritaville. Honestly not a good decision. Not because the food was bad, but because after lunch we all decided we were beached out, and headed back the the ship! where of course lunch and beverages were available minus the credit card!
Beverage Package:
For the past 4 months or so we had been discussing the beverage package amongst the 4 of us. My husband and I felt that since we were traveling with another couple, we would most likely do well with the package. Our friends were split. My husband's buddy would be drinking beer most of the day, with a few mixed drinks at dinner, so the plan was definitely a good option for him. My girlfriend however is not a heavy drinker, however she decided that factoring in bottled water, soda and specialty coffees, she should be able to about break even, so they also signed up. We made good use of the plan every day except for when we were in port in St Thomas, as we were not back on the ship until almost 6PM.
I was always impressed with the food on RCCL. Not so much with NCL, where I found myself wandering around the buffet at breakfast and lunch pretty much uninspired. So I was interested to see how the food was with Princess. Again the reviews were mixed. So please believe me - I cannot say enough good things about the buffet and dining room service. We ate breakfast and lunch at the buffet. While there was a bit of waiting, the only time I actually had to stand in any line of consequece was for lunch on embarkation day. The set up is not the best, I will admit, but I never saw any backups that were worth complaining over. In the evening, our dining room waiter and assistant waiter were wonderful, the assistant waiter especially light hearted, and always ready to make a joke. The food was outstanding, and the portion sizes were just right - not too big after spending long days in the sun drinking and eating.
On Wednesday Night (our anniversary) we opted to try the Crown Grill. Cover charge was $25 per person. The food and level of service was in my opinion higher than any high end steakhouse I have been too. The steaks were incredible! All sides are served family style on a platter, with portions large enough for 3-4 ppl easily. Both of the guys opted to add a lobster tail (for an add'l $5), and I am told they were perfection. At the end of the meal we were serenaded by the restaurant staff with a large piece of chocolate mousse cake. We girls of course still ordered the molten chocolate cake as well ;-)
My husband and I enjoy a nice glass of wine with dinner when we are on vacation, so I was very interested in trying the wine bar out. I cannot say enough about this venue. Our two wine stewards - Joseph and Amel - were incredible! Every night they greeted us like old friends! By the end of the week, when we passed them by, they were asking if we would be stopping in. There is an extensive list of wines by the glass to try, and our new friends made wonderful suggestions based on our likes and dislikes. they never led us astray. Only a few of the options were not available with the beverage package, but there were more than enough to sample throughout the week. After ordering your wine you will be offered either tapas or sushi to enjoy with your beverage. Due to my allergy we opted for tapas, which was usually 3-4 bites. Just enough for a before dinner snack. There was usually one shrimp in the offering, and when Joseph asked if I did not like it, and found out about my allergy, he disappeared, and re-appeared with a plate of assorted cheese!
I was planning on an outside cabin, hoping maybe to find a good price on a balcony, but my girlfriend pretty much was only interested in booking an interior cabin. It was not a bad option given that we were almost never there. The room was larger than either the interiors I have been in on RCCL or NCL. the cabin layout was wonderful, and the closet size puts every other ship I have been on to shame! I will say however that if we were cruising just the 2 of us, I would have enjoyed a balcony of my own to sit in the morning with my coffee and iPad. Hubby likes to sleep in, and I am an early riser, so I ended up wandering the ship from about 6 till 8 most mornings, stopping wherever there was coffee available.
Final impressions:
I am 100% sold on Princess. Up until now I was pretty loyal to Royal, but can easily see more Princess cruises in my future! The service levels and ship is well above any other cruise I have been on, and I am looking forward to booking my next cruise with them! Less

Programmers. Microcontroller choices. Is there anything more universal?
(1/2) > >>
Hi there,
I already have a simple PIC programmer and a 8051 programmer.
However, now I am getting to the stage where I want to test out other microcontrollers.
There are some Universal programmers like
and can be bought from this seller on ebay
Thing is, what are the options? Do you really need to buy a programmer for every chip you have?
I'm really a bit worried about buying them, and then being out of date.
--- Quote ---I'm really a bit worried about buying them, and then being out of date.
--- End quote ---
With technology, there is no way around this problem :P
I mentioned it before, but this might influence your opinion: I will only be developing and posting source code and electronics for the PIC16F877 and Atmel AVR's. :P
16F877 or 16F877A ?
16F877A is more up-to-date - you are not likely to even be able to get non-A versions of the chip soon.
One of the main differences between the A and non-A versions is they program differently. An up-to-date programmer will do both, an older one (like one of the ones I have) will only do the non-A version.
- Jon
I am using the A version - just wanted to make sure he would be posting the A version code. :)

Patients with fibromyalgia treated with a synthetic form of marijuana, nabilone, showed significant reductions in pain and anxiety, according to a first-of-its-kind study, published in The Journal of Pain.
An estimated 12 million Americans have fibromyalgia and the disease syndrome has no cure and is difficult to diagnose. The disease is characterized by widespread muscle and joint pain and myriad other symptoms and the condition is far more prevalent in women and the incidence increases with age, reaching 7 percent among women 65 years and older.
Forty subjects were selected for the nabilone trial, conducted by researchers at the University of Manitoba Rehabilitation Hospital and divided into nabilone and placebo groups and were treated for four weeks. It was noted by the authors that this was the first randomized, controlled-access trial for evaluating nabilone for pain reduction and quality-of-life improvement in fibromyalgia patients. Nabilone is one of two oral marijuana-based compounds, known as cannabinoids, which is available in Canada and approved for treatment of nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy.
Nabilone has significant benefits for pain relief and functional improvement in fibromyalgia patients, the study concluded. The drug was well-tolerated by treated patients that the authors characterized as reassuring since fibromyalgia patients are sensitive to most medications and have difficulty tolerating side effects.

This week is kind of tight for me, Thursday, I'm flying to NJ to see family for the weekend, back on Mon. I already scheduled games Mon and Tuesday this week.
Cool, if you want to see how the level of play is, you could come, watch and warm up for thirty minutes on Tuesday night. Are you near the Cambier Park Tennis Center? 6:00pm. You can meet the other players who are just starting.

Members of the public are being urged to check their smoke alarms on a weekly basis after poorly-maintained smoke detectors failed to raise the alarm at a house fire in Llangwm.
Four fire appliances from Milford Haven and Haverfordwest were called to the incident in Pill Parks Way at 10pm on Saturday.
They found the property heavily smoke-logged and used breathing apparatus, thermal imaging cameras and firefighting jets to enter the house and extinguish the fire which was confined to a bedroom.
Firefighters then used specialist high volume fans to force the remaining smoke from the property.
One man was taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation. A pet snake died in the incident.
Mid & West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said smoke detectors fitted in the property had not been adequately maintained and failed to raise the alarm.
"Swift action by the crews from Haverfordwest and Milford Haven prevented this from escalating into a far worse incident," said Station Manager Rob Bellerby.
"We would urge members of the public to test their smoke alarms weekly; this small use of their time could be a lifesaver in the event of a fire occurring within the home."
Free Home Fire Safety Checks, which includes the fitting of smoke detectors, are available to the public. To book contact Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service on 0800 169

Product Highlights
Bright Strike Traffic Safety Gloves are an essential way to ensure the security and wellbeing of police and emergency workers directing traffic at night.
The sad fact is that every year drivers, either distracted by something within their car or dazzled by emergency lights hit those who are directing traffic in the street. These gloves can help prevent that. They feature active light strips on the back of each glove. The strips, which are visible from 1/4 mile away, last up to 35 hours and feature fast and slow strobe modes as well as full on or off. Four red and four green strips are included with the gloves which are made of stretch mesh and have a stop signal in the palm.

Sun sets on two of festival's finest
Page Tools
Collins Street Baptist Church, October 18 and 19
Collins Street Baptist Church, October 19
On Monday the Leipzig-based male vocal quintet, ensemble amacord, began the festival's longest surviving enterprise, the Chamber Music Sunset Series.
Not content with showing their pedigree in a program of Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn and contemporary German composers, the group presented a more relaxed concert at noon on Tuesday, moving from Renaissance France and Elizabethan England to Lennon and the Beach Boys' Good Vibrations.
These young singers, all ex-members of Leipzig's Thomanerchor, deliver a flawlessly polished style. Any chromatic changes in the Romantic repertoire are handled without fuss, the timbral weight is distributed fairly between the amacord tenors and the pair of basses. Shadings emerge and dynamic shifts take place with admirable precision, and the five display a brand of collegiality, a musical mutual confidence that never proves delusory.
Although the amacords have been giving concerts for only 12 years, they have an individual sound typified by an unflappability with each singer slotting into his required place. This abnegation of individuality seems unusual in this country that expects hooting counter-tenors and male altos to dominate from the top of small, all-male vocal consorts. These visitors play to their strengths and prime among these is the ability to home in on a score's emotional landscape, be it Schubert's simple rhapsody Nacht or the spare Songs from the Greek Anthology by Elgar.
La Compania, the local early music group, gave the Tuesday night Sunset recital, dividing their time between the Tudor period and the roughly contemporary world of Spanish Renaissance music.
Some of the company's members are familiar faces from other settings, including soprano Vivien Hamilton - the group's solitary singer - cellist Victoria Watts and lutenist Rosemary Hodgson.
Along with these comes a back-line of brass and reeds that never fails to delight because of its members' reliability under stress and the fervour they bring to their work. Even in a long and rhythmically complex work like the evening's finale, El Fuego by Mateo Flecha the Elder, the sackbuts of Glenn Bardwell and Bob Collins remained firm in delivery and true in pitch.
Mitchell Cross plays the dangerously exposed shawm, the most penetrating instrument of the group, with similar self-assurance, matched by the dulzian of Simon Rickard. But the one to watch in La Compania is cornetto master Danny Lucin, who treats his difficult instrument with the sort of fluency that Genevieve Lacey brings to the recorder. La Compania are performance purists; they don't interlard their work with commentary. But you can wait a long time before having the chance to relish such a telling combination of passion and scholarship.
