TWINSBURG -- With the 2013 American Cancer Society's Relay For Life five months away, organizers of the major fundraiser are occupied all the same with team organization, activity planning and more.
The 2013 Relay For Life for Nordonia/Twinsburg is set for June 7-8 at the Twinsburg Tiger Stadium. Informational meetings for interested volunteers will be conducted in coming weeks at the Twinsburg Public Library, the first of which is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. Jan. 17.
Relay co-chairperson Jennie Dawes said the local chapter will attempt to reach a donation goal of $52,000, compared to the roughly $50,000 raised in 2012.
"Our goal this year is only $52,000, but we think we can go well beyond that," Dawes said. "We know our communities are more generous."
"There's just been a lot of strain on people, between the economy and people supporting the school levy. But Relay is something that is easy to [support]. Everyone can do something and every little bit counts."
During the annual Relay, teams attempt to keep at least one person either walking or running on the track throughout the overnight event, doing so in memory of a survivor or for someone who has lost their battle with cancer.
Around 23 teams were formed for the 2012 Relay, a number Dawes hopes to top in 2013. The goal is to have at least 30 teams register, Dawes said.
"We're just going to get as many as we can," Dawes said. "If we can get 40 or 50, that would be awesome."
Roughly six teams have registered so far, pledging around $2,500. Co-chair Beth Noga said there is still time to build a larger donation base before the Relay and collect contributions after.
"We haven't seen much yet, it's still kind of early," Noga said. "Teams are really just starting to form right now, even though it's a year-round adventure for most of us. The teams tend to get started after the first of the year and they raise money through the end of August."
The Relay is still in the planning stages, but entertainment and activities for participants are being arranged, including a DJ and live music from area blues rock group the Deja Voodoo Band. Overnight activities are still in the works, as most are planned by the volunteers, but Dawes said past favorites such as the poker run are likely to return. And there will also be the more somber ceremony of the lighting of the luminaries, which honors deceased victims of cancer and their surviving loved ones.
"We usually have a DJ," Noga said. "We don't have anything set in stone, that's still in the planning [stages]. Friday night, I know we have two bands for sure. One of them is the Deja Voodoo band -- this will be their third year there. They are a huge supporter of us, donating their time on a Friday night when they could get a really good paid gig to help support Relay For Life. The event is dear to them."
A new addition to the Relay For Life of Twinsburg and Nordonia is the 2013 Bark For Life dog relay, a spin-off event intended for relay volunteers who want to involve their pets in the fundraising event. Dawes said that since dogs are not permitted at the Twinsburg Tiger Stadium, volunteers and organizers are currently deciding on an alternate place and time for the Bark For Life relay.
New volunteers will receive resources and information from the American Cancer Society on how to best organize donation strategies and team structure. Teams can register online at www.relayforlife/twinsburg or by calling 330-405-2530.
"We want to make this as easy and as fun as possible," Dawes said. "There are tons of great resources that the American Cancer Society provides that we haven't maximized, so we're going to be using all kinds of really great tools to make sure we're hitting all the areas we could be hitting."
Though the 2013 Relay For Life takes place in Twinsburg, the event is also intended for the Nordonia Hills area, which Noga hopes to involve more heavily than in previous years.
"We're really trying to get more of the Nordonia people involved," Noga said. "Some of our best fundraisers are from that area, but since the event takes place in Twinsburg, it's sometimes hard to get their attention."

Marlin experts?
Any of you guys know where I can get a replacement stock for a Marlin model 989? I have searched, and searched with no luck. I am doing a favor for a friend and need to find a stock for him. Is there any other models that are compatible with a 989? Thanks.
Check w/ Numrich- (gunpartscorp.com) looks like there are a couple of close model numbers that should exchange. They run about $44 plus shipping. Have you asked Marlin?
Did you try gunbroker or ebay?
That link led me to some.
If you are talking 989M2, HARD to find complete...
However, there are things you can do...
If you have the 989-M2 handguard, you're halfway home, just get a Walnut Marlin 70 stock,
sand the area until the handguard fits nicely, and sand the tip for the barrel band to fit.
If it's a 989 (with no M-2), any Old-style stock that fits a 70 (non-Papoose) will fit.
Also, if you wish to Upgrade to a Boyd's Thumbhole stock, or any New-Model (post 1994) stock,
use a DIP Marlin 795 trigger guard & trigger combo,
as the OEM Old-style trigger guard won't go on the new model stocks.
I'm actually surprised that one of the folks that has a stock duplicator hasn't made copies of the
989-M2 stock & handguard & sold 'em for new rifles...folks would buy 'em FAST!
One other final option...recently a guy took an M1 stock ($15 at a gun show) and fitted
a Marlin 795 in it. It takes a fair amount of carving skills, but it can be done with nothing more than
sharp chisels and a dremel for sanding :)

PHOTO: Demi Lovato Teases New 'Killer Duet'
Listen to Demi Lovato Radio on iHeartRadio
Demi Lovato has a mystery collaboration in the works. The pop star posted a photo on Instagram in the studio recording what she called a "killer duet." The photo shows both her and her unknown musical partner holding thumbs up signs.
It led many of her followers on an Internet hunt to identify the body attached to the hand in the photo.
One popular theory is Nick Jonas. MTV says Nick was seen wearing a similar shirt in the photo the same day it was taken, and also notes that Demi mentioned working with the youngest JoBro in a recent interview. Nick was also the creative director of her recent "Neon Lights" tour.
Who do you think it could be?!

Created: April 12, 2001
Latest update: April 12, 2001
I'll clean this file up later. I just wanted to start getting some of it up so that you could get a feeling for the extent to which academics debate issues of left and right, radicalism and conservatism. Giddens' text is well written and clear. I'm going to start this file with a passage I read last night:"The welfare state, as has been well documented, took for granted and even furthered the equation of work with paid employment in the labour market; it hence also presumed the patriarchal family. The achieving of full employment, one of the most important aims of socialist advocacy of welfare systems in particular, meant male employment. this was a model of work as fate (for men) and domesticity as fate (for women). It belonged to a time when gender identities had not yet been reflexively challenged and when "non-standard" work, including domestic work, in official definitions of things didn't count as work at all. (Fn. omitted.)
"If such systems are out of line with a situation in which women have entered the paid labour force in very large numbers, so they are also with a socieety in which the centrality of industry is coming to be placed in question. . . .
Giddens, op.cit., at p. 139.
In reading this passage you need to bear in mind that Giddens favors radical politics. You need to know where he's coming from. When you don't know, ask someone who should know. I still have students who confuse left with right when the arguments are well done.
So, from a leftist perspective, Gidden's is reminding us that the welfare state, about which we hear so much with Welfare to Work these days, is very much the product of the dominant discourse and its constraints on the imaginary with respect to work and family. Consider what we mean when we say that someone is working: we mean a full time job. But full time jobs in the traditional work force are now supplemented to a large extent by part-time jobs, with few or no benefits. Students sometimes report in great excitement that they just "got a job, a real job with benefits."
Let's look at that in terms of theory. Traditional theory accepts the dominant discourse definition of full time jobs and unemployment. Critical, postcolonial, postmodern theories question critically the underlying assumptions we inherit from the dominant discourse. Many of the left/right arguments hinge on the extent to which we are willing to acknowledge and reflect on those underlying assumptions, and on the effects they have on those who are excluded in the dominant discourse.
More soon. . . . jeanne
Notes: Compare Tim Wise's piece on What's Wrong with Tolerance to Giddens' deliberative democracy and civil association, at. p. 131, "a cosmopolitan state [is one] conceived of, not as a community but as people living in 'intelligent relationship' with one another." What exactly constitutes an "intelligent relationship" and the active trust required to live in this state? Tim Wise would go more towards the question <Is it empowerment, if the agency hasn't changed?

With the advent of PHP 5, I think it is less compelling to switch to a
new languague because the new object oriented robustness make it better
suited for the modular design we could all benefit from. I think PHP 5
can hold its own on the command line, but the only only place it might
be ill suited is the real time configuration as you have said. Maybe a
lightweight C program can handle the very basics, communicating with the
other tiers of PHP?

Miley Cyrus, known first as the sweet innocent on Hannah Montana and then for the wild singer of inimitable creations such as "Wrecking Ball," is coming back to TV in a very unexpected way. The newly engaged fiancee of Liam Hemsworth (yes, that's the same engagement ring that Miley is flaunting as she and Liam try their luck at love for a second time and recycle the bling) is teaming up with Woody Allen, creator of films such as Annie Hall, for a series for Amazon.
This will be the first such series for Woody, and social media is going wild at the idea that Cyrus and Allen will be working together, reported Newsweek. Elaine May will be joining the unlikely duo for the series produced by Amazon and both directed and penned by Woody.
Filming is set to begin in March for the six episodes, each of which will last half an hour. As for how Allen feels about creating a series for Amazon, he's had regrets.
"Amazon kept coming to me and saying, please do this, whatever you want. I kept saying I have no ideas for it, that I never watch television," confessed Woody. "And I have regretted every second since I said OK. It's been so hard for me. I had the cocky confidence, well, I'll do it like I do a movie… it'll be a movie in six parts. Turns out, it's not."
While Allen is worried, Miley has no such fears about the series. Cyrus is stoked about doing the Amazon episodes, which will take place in the 1960s, reported E! News.
"F–k yeah! Stoked to be in Woody Allens first series!!!!!" shared Miley on social media.
Cyrus added that she was thinking that she would relax in 2016. But then came the call from Woody, and Miley just couldn't resist.
"I had claimed 2016 to be my year of 'chillin the f–k out' but next to my bed for a few years now has been this portrait of W.A. & I was looking into his eyes when I got the call to be apart of the cast and work alongside the bad a$$ Elaine May & da dude himself! 1960zzzz here I [come]," posted Cyrus.
The vice president of Amazon Studios, Ray Price, expressed his own enthusiasm using some very different language.
"Woody Allen is a visionary creator who has made some of the greatest films of all-time, and it's an honor to be working with him on his first television series," praised Price. "From Annie Hall to Blue Jasmine, Woody has been at the creative forefront of American cinema and we couldn't be more excited to premiere his first TV series exclusively on Prime Instant Video next year."
Although Miley and the famous director/actor have never been together in a movie, he did team up with Elaine May before in Small Time Crooks.
Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth Together Again
While the professional side of Miley's life is soaring, so is her personal life. Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are engaged once more, and Miley is sporting the same engagement ring that Liam presented her with in 2012, according to PopSugar.
Engaged again, Cyrus and Hemsworth were together several years ago, with Miley flaunting that sparkler on the red carpet. And apparently what appealed to them as a symbol of their togetherness the first time still works to show their love.
In addition to wearing that ring, Miley is living with Liam, reported the Daily Mail. They reunited last April after breaking up in 2013.
Cyrus and Hemsworth had announced their engagement the first time around in June 2012. As for wedding plans now?
Liam's brother Chris Hemsworth was questioned regarding the engagement reports about Miley, as well as wedding plans.
"Not that I know of," said Chris of family wedding plans in the future.
Miley Cyrus Unveils New Song
And just in case a new TV series and a re-engagement weren't enough, Cyrus has unveiled a new song, reported People.
Turning to Instagram, Miley shared her song along with some information that might be TMI about zit cream.
"You land on every flower & use up all your power to demand peace … song writin and zit creaminnnn! Double timingggg!" posted Cyrus to accompany the clip. "Cuz I'm a womannnn….. W-o-m-a-n….. I'll say it again."
And that woman is very happy to be engaged again to Liam, a source told People.
"Miley is beyond happy to be engaged to Liam again," said the source. "It might seem sudden, but they have been very close for the past few months."
As for why they waited? Hemsworth wanted to keep it private for as long as possible, added the source.
"They just wanted to keep their relationship out of the spotlight while they figured things out. Liam never liked how exposed his life was with Miley."

Political support for Israel makes use of ideologically sponsored myths and unjustifiable assumptions. The constant repetition of these assumptions by politicians and news media precludes debate and effectively exempts Israel from its obligations under international humanitarian law. The Zionist state's use of the Holocaust to justify itself betrays both the memory of those who suffered and humanity's hope that the necessary lessons will ever be learned.
The pervasive propaganda of powerful interests has infiltrated the thinking of Western Society to the extent that well-meaning people feel compelled to adopt a contorted form of even-handedness regarding the questions of Israel and political Zionism. Evenhandedness can never be appropriate in the context of ethnic segregation and other gross violations of the Fourth Geneva convention. Use of the term anti-Semitism, often to silence Israel's critics, refers solely to anti-Jewish bias and that in itself is anti-Semitic because such use deliberately excludes the majority of Semitic peoples. Semitic languages are spoken in much of the Middle East and the Horn of Africa. The most widely spoken of the Semitic languages today is Arabic; ancient Arabic and Hebrew were dialects of Canaanite Aramaic. Anti-Semitism is a European sickness and has long been directed against both Jews and Arabs. European colonialism fuelled contempt for Arabs and political Zionism proceeds from the same assumptions of Arab inferiority. An examination of the assumptions that lie behind the West's attitude to Israel follows:
Assumption 1 – forced exodus: Following a Parliamentary trip to Israel and the Palestinian West Bank this year former New Zealand Prime Minister, Phil Goff, now Labour spokesperson on foreign affairs and trade, wrote an article entitled Chance for peace in Palestine should be grasped. At the start of his article Goff wrote "After centuries of persecution of Jews in the diaspora, culminating in the Nazi murder of six million Jews during the Second World War, their desire for a state of their own was understandable." No reputable historian has found evidence to support the myth that the Romans forced the Jewish people into exile (the diaspora) from what is now known as the Middle East. The colonising of the indigenous Palestinian's land, the destruction of villages and the removal of the inhabitants into refugee camps and exile upon the pretext of a supposed 2000-yearold historical event is unjustifiable and irrational. The Zionist plan to colonise other people's lands came long before the Holocaust of course and the racist European colonial mentality, taken up by Zionism, in effect transferred the onus for the crimes of Nazism onto the Palestinian people.
Assumption 2 – The Six Day War; that the existence of Israel was at stake: The article stated "When Israel launched the six-day war in 1967 it did so in the belief that its existence was threatened by universally hostile neighbours whose aim was to destroy the state of Israel." As with the so-called forced exodus, the historical assumption is not supported by the facts. First of all the Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin actually admitted in a speech to the National Defence College in 1982 that Israel's war on Egypt in 1956 was a matter of choice. Begin said "In June 1967 we again had a choice. The Egyptian army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack us. We must be honest with ourselves. We decided to attack . . . We did not do this for lack of an alternative. We could have gone on waiting. We could have sent the army home. Who knows if there would have been an attack against us? There is no proof of it." The Israeli people may have been told, as was indeed the rest of the world, that the Zionist State's existence was threatened by Egypt, but the Israeli government knew better. So did the CIA. A CIA assessment on 23 May 1967 was presented to President Lyndon Johnson stating that Israel could "defend successfully against simultaneous Arab attacks on all fronts … or hold on any three fronts while mounting successfully a major offensive on the fourth." A future Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, told Le Monde on 28 February 1968, "I do not think Nasser wanted war. The two divisions he sent to the Sinai would not have been sufficient to launch an offensive war. He knew it and we knew it." http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2010/07/04/israels-attack-on-egypt-in-june-67-wasnot- preemptive/ In the aftermath of Israel's Six Day War and the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, ten additional UNWRA refugee camps were established to accommodate a new wave of displaced persons, both refugees and non-refugees. The Zionist project had completed one more stage.
Assumption 3 – Israel must be an ethnically pure state: The Chance for peace article repeated the ethnic balance arguments that are commonly expressed in support of Israel: "If Israel annexed the West Bank the Arab population in the wider Israel would soon approach that of the Jewish population with the Palestinian population growing faster." The United Nations partition plan proposed an Israeli state on 55% of Mandate Palestine but Israel continues to expand (the Zionist State refuses to declare its borders) and Israeli control of 61% of the West Bank (Area 'C') enables settlements to continue to expand and build ethnically segregated Jewish-only roads to divide Palestinian land. Israel has illegally settled more than 500,000 Jewish Israelis in East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank in violation of Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention which prohibits the transfer of an occupying power's civilian population into occupied territory. Such actions have no moral or legal justification. Similarly Israel's annexation Wall (ruled illegal by the International Court of Justice) that Israel calls a 'separation barrier' continues to divide Palestinian communities from each other and from their agriculture. The article continues "The very essence of Israel is that it is a Jewish state. It could not remain so if it absorbed the Arab population, according them equal rights." When it comes to discussing the nature and purpose of Israel, Goff echoes the Western practice of referring to the indigenous people as Arabs rather than Palestinians. But where in international law is it acceptable for any state to define itself as the state of one ethnic group above all others? He goes on to say, "Expelling non-Jews or creating an apartheid state where some citizens had lesser rights would be utterly unacceptable." It certainly is unacceptable to most people but the West has stood by while Palestinian villages have been obliterated and millions of Palestinians have been consigned to refugee camps. A large number of United Nations reports reveal the ethnic discrimination that prevails in Israel, especially in annexed East Jerusalem.
Assumption 4 – What Israel requires is paramount: Phil Goff comments "A unified and secular state might in principle be a proper solution to this problem but Israel will not allow that to happen." Israel will not allow that to happen! End of argument apparently. This is the ultimate give away of Western assumptions and thinking. The only sane solution is dismissed because Zionism objects. The fact that accommodating Israeli intransigence for over 60 years has been counter-productive is apparently not even worth debate. All hope therefore of an end to ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, their imprisonment without charge or trial, the destruction of their homes, night home invasions and abductions of children, the cessation of the deliberate uprooting of olive trees and attacks on fishing boats must be abandoned apparently because Israel will not allow that to happen! It is easy to understand why negotiations have been fruitless. Just as Israel's continual settlement expansion represents bad faith in negotiating a peaceful outcome, so does unconditional Western support for Israel. This colossal injustice fuels instability. But Western politicians and the corporate news media seem addicted to the process. In a world with sane, intelligent leadership it would be unacceptable and the fact that it has been with us for over half a century is an indictment of generations of political leaders.
Assumption 5 – Israel and Zionism speak for all Jews: Phil Goff tells us "As I went through Yad Vashem, the Israeli holocaust museum, I shed a tear for the brutal inhumanity towards and suffering of the Jewish people." How many visitors shed a tear for the ethnically cleansed Palestinian village of Deir Yassin? A group calling itself Righteous Jews (http://righteousjews.org/) that established itself in 2003 felt that it was a way for its members "to commemorate the memory of those Palestinians who have been, and continue to be depopulated, dispossessed, humiliated, tortured, and murdered in the name of political Zionism and its quest to create a Jewish state in the lands between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River." Righteous Jews tells us that its founding was inspired by the website of the Holocaust museum at Yad Vashem, located on Mount Herzl on the land of the Palestinian village of Ein Karem, 1400 metres south of the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin. Yad Vashem lists the names of non-Jews who risked their lives, freedom, and safety in order to rescue one or several Jews from the threat of death or deportation to death camps. For many years this list was referred to as the list of 'Righteous Gentiles' the list is now called "Righteous Among the Nations'. According to Righteous Jews "Deir Yassin is as important a part of Jewish, as it is of Palestinian, history. Deir Yassin, coming in April 1948, just three years after the liberation of Auschwitz in January 1945, marks a Jewish transition from enslavement to empowerment and from abused to abuser. Can there ever have been such a remarkable shift, over such a short period, in the history of a people?" "Deir Yassin signalled the ethnic cleansing of 750,000 Palestinians leading to their eventual dispossession and exile and was just one example of a conscious and premeditated plan to destroy the Palestinians as a people in their own homeland. " . . . since the establishment of the state of Israel, successive Israeli governments whether Labour or Likud, and whether by force as at Deir Yassin, or by chicanery as at Oslo and Camp David, have followed the same policy of oppressing and dispossessing Palestinians to make way for an exclusively Jewish state. Even now, when Israel could have peace and security for the asking, Israeli governments persist in their original intention of conquering the whole of Palestine for the use of the Jewish people alone. And all this was done, and is still being done, by Jews, for Jews and in the name of Jews." http://www.righteousjews.org/article23.html The group lists, among the many people it calls 'Our Initial List of Righteous Jews', Albert Einstein, Amira Hass, Anna Baltzer, Antony Loewenstein, Gideon Levy, Hedy Epstein, Ilan Pappe, Jeff Halper, Jennifer Lowenstein, Lenni Brenner, Miko Peled, Norman Finkelstein, Richard Falk, Tanya Reinhart and Yehudi Menuhin. All have worked to expose the evils of the practise and ideology of political Zionism. More than half the global Jewish population chooses not to live in Israel and at present many young Israelis consider Berlin to be a fashionable and cool place to hang out. The Zionist claim that only in an exclusively Jewish state could Jews live free from persecution is manifestly disproved – but at a terrible cost to both Jews and non-Jews.
Assumption 6 – It is only Palestinians that are violent: In any discussion of violence in the context of Israel and Palestine it is only ever Palestinian violence that is condemned. The term violence is used five times in Goff's article but never with reference to Israel. Many people, in spite of the goodwill and humanity in their souls simply cannot see how far Zionist propaganda has entered their psyche. The final reference to violence in the article reads, "If the threat of violence against Jewish people is removed, Israel has little justification to continue its hard line against the Palestinians" is a good example of the thinking. There are two elements in this statement. The first is 'violence' and the second is 'Jewish people'. Taking the term 'violence' first, the Israeli Occupation, blockade, land theft, sabotage of the Gaza fishing industry, bulldozing of crops, imposition of ethnically segregated roads, relentless home invasions (often in the middle of the night – with the abductions of minors as young as 11 this year) is somewhat more than what one could call 'hard line'. If the Palestinians were to inflict a fraction of such suffering upon Israel it would be reported in our news media with outrage and banner headlines and it would certainly be referred to as violence. But Israel has no intention of fostering non-violence. Most non-violent Palestinian protests are met with Israeli violence, usually in the form of rubber-coated bullets, tear gas and stun grenades and clubs and rifle butts. Sometime the Israeli Army uses live fire against protesters. But Western news media and politicians never refer to Israeli 'violence' even in the context of air raids in which homes are destroyed and children killed and maimed. The term violence is censored whenever the perpetrator is Israel. The second element in the statement 'Jewish people' prompts the question why not use the name of the Occupying power, Israel? It is the belligerent Occupation perpetrated by the Israeli state that prompts armed Palestinian resistance. Undeniably, Zionism implicates Jewish people in Israeli violence because the ideology arrogantly claims to speak for all Jews. That is why so many Jewish people refute Zionist ideology, oppose Israeli violence and risk abuse and physical danger through their steadfast support for Palestinian human rights.
Assumption 7: That 'negotiations' and the Oslo Accords are the path to peace. Phil Goff wrote in his article that "The parameters of the solution have already been set out in the numerous initiatives taken over the last twenty years, including the Oslo Accords, the Arab Initiative and the renewal of the peace process at Annapolis in 2007. In return for a guarantee of peace and secure borders for Israel, the Palestinians must have a state which is economically and politically viable." Note the omission – "In return for a guarantee of peace and secure borders for Israel" yet no mention of secure borders for Palestine! Indeed, one of Israel's pre-conditions in the so-called negotiations with the Palestinians is that Palestine must remain defenceless (Israel terms it 'demilitarised') and with no Palestinian sovereignty over Palestinian air space or coastal waters. Which brings us to the nonsensical Oslo Accords that have served no purpose other than to enable Israel to buy time to annex more Palestinian land and resources. From 1916 to 1948 the Jewish National Fund (JNF) purchased 6% of Palestinian land near Jerusalem and from 1929 to 1947 30% of Palestine was lost due to registration regulations imposed by Britain and Zionist organisations. In 1947 the UN Partition plan cost the Palestinian people a further 55% of their land. In 1948 the Palestinian loss of homeland amounted to 70%. The Six Day War and interminable and fruitless so called negotiations have resulted in a total loss of at least 85% of Palestinian land. Palestinians have to live with the consequences of Israeli-imposed restrictions of access to land, annexation and settlement expansion. Over the past three years or so, that is since Prime Minister Netanyahu was elected, the Israeli population in the West Bank has grown by 18%.
Assumption 8 – 'Final status issues' take precedence over observance of international law and UN Resolutions. Reflecting orthodox Western attitudes towards Israel and the Palestinians, the article states simply, "Israeli justification of their harsh treatment of Palestinians and disproportionate reaction to Hamas missile strikes in the Gaza is that Palestinian militants pose a threat to the security of their people. Any form of terrorist action against civilians such as suicide bombers and rocket attacks deserves condemnation. There is no justification for the taking of innocent lives. Hamas must change its position and Iran must stop its support for violence by Hamas and the Hizbollah. Israel is right to condemn terrorism". Note the language employed here: "harsh" treatment by Israel but "terrorist action against civilians" by Palestinians. The death toll of Palestinians compared with Israelis is about a hundred to one. Is it not state terrorism when children are killed in their homes by the Israeli air force? Harsh treatment?! Goff is absolutely right when he writes "There is no justification for the taking of innocent lives." The article echoes the West's view that "Hamas must change its position and Iran must stop its support for violence by Hamas and the Hizbollah". Does that mean that Hamas was wrong in declaring its recognition of Israel's 1967 frontier, basing proposals for open ended cease-fires based upon such recognition? "Iran must stop its support for violence", says the article while there is no suggestion that the US must stop the arms supplies and diplomatic support that make Israeli violence so unstoppable. But then of course, Western politicians and news media never acknowledge that Israel is violent. For them, Israel only ever responds to violence. What initiated the violence? Was it Palestine that colonised Israel? Of course not.
Establishing peace with
To his credit, Phil Goff acknowledged in his article that Israeli settlements violate the Fourth Geneva Convention. He also writes, "The final status issues such as the status of East Jerusalem, right of return for refugees and water won't be easy to resolve." Zionism dictates that Jews born anywhere in the world may 'return to Israel' but rejects the UN sponsored right of ethnically-cleansed Palestinians to return to their homes and villages. The demand that a defenceless, belligerently occupied population (recognised as such in international law) must negotiate under duress with its oppressor is unprecedented. The outrage is even more egregious when the elected representatives of the victims are not even allowed to be party to such 'negotiations'. As we have seen, the so-called peace process is in thrall to Israel's ideological pre-conditions. Zionism is the last to survive of the 20th century state-sponsored ideologies of ethnic separation – it took a world war and the anti-apartheid movement to get rid of the others. The lessons of the Nazi Holocaust teach us that theories of ethnic 'apartness' lead to cruel acts of inhumanity, and pandering to Zionist demands can only compound that suffering and betray its victims. A rational solution, therefore, must be sought elsewhere. Reference to the Fourth Geneva Convention points the way to one of two complementary pathways to a sustainable and harmonious solution. The first is the application of international law. The international community must require of Israel that it respect and abide by hard-won, established, international law, under threat of sanctions for noncompliance. The second, most essential element, referred to by Phil Goff, is what he called "People to people relationships". Disappointingly, he also declared that these relationships "scarcely exist". That is a measure of the influence of the assumptions that dominate the debate. Like so many other well-meaning people, many of our Parliamentarians seems to be unaware of the powerful grass roots relations that have formed both between Palestinians and Israelis and the wider Jewish and non-Jewish communities. It would come as a surprise therefore for many people to learn, for example, that there are courageous Israeli women who risk their liberty when they smuggle Palestinian women into Israel to enjoy a day at the seaside. http://palestinesolidarityproject.org/2010/09/18/palestinian-women-smuggled-into-israelagain/ Both within Israel and beyond, organisations and individuals opposed to racial discrimination are working for change. Holocaust survivor, Hedy Epstein, who never saw her family again after they had managed to find a way out for her on a children's transport to Britain. Actors, such as Miriam Margolyes and Warren Mitchell, comedian Alexei Sayle, Israeli Jazz musician Gilad Atzmon, are just a very few of large numbers of prominent individuals whose voices should be listened to. In a letter to the Anglican Church Times welcoming a decision by the Church of England General Synod to support the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI), the secretary of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) in Aberystwyth, Elizabeth Morley, wrote "I have friends both in the West Bank and in Israel who tell me how invaluable is the work they do. And I have friends in the UK who have been accompaniers. So you could say I am biased. I am also Jewish and if I wanted, I could make Aliyah. But I believe it would be wrong to do so because non-Jews have been ethnically cleansed from Palestine to make way for people like me who have no family connections on that land. My great-grandparents and other members of my family who did not survive the Holocaust would not want me to do that, I am sure." Then there are the countless organisations, among them: Jewish Voice for Peace http://jewishvoiceforpeace.org/ The International Women's Peace Service (IWPS) http://iwps.info/ Jews for Justice in the Middle East http://ifamericansknew.org/history/origin.html Rabbis for Palestine http://www.rabbisforpalestine.org/ Neturei Karta rabbis http://www.nkusa.org/ Tikkun http://www.tikkun.org/nextgen/the-tikkun-israelpalestine-peace-plan-last-refinedmay- 22-2011 ICAHD The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions http://www.icahd.org/ Gush Shalom http://www.gush-shalom.org/ Other women's peace movements in Israel http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/peacemovements- in-israel BDS – the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Campaign http://www.bdsmovement.net/
the Land of Canaan
There are many views represented above but together they offer far greater hope for humanity than the sterile and meaningless so-called 'peace process' fostered by the great powers and Israel. Their voices cannot be ignored forever. The Palestinian author and activist, US citizen, Professor Mazin Qumsiyeh has written a book called Sharing the Land of Canaan http://www.qumsiyeh.org/sharingthelandofcanaan/ . In the 1990s he worked for the rights of refugees and by 1999 had helped to collect 750,000 signatures for the Palestinian Right of Return. His experience and the positive results were an example to everyone of how action on the ground could change public perceptions. The book reminds us of how the people once coexisted with differing religious beliefs and how racism irrationally distorts our understanding. The question of Palestinian refugees makes notions of segregation/separation impossible. As Mazin points out "It is the basic and elemental right of Palestinians 11.5 million of us, 7 million of us are refugees or displaced people.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) provides a base for a real road map to a durable peace". The book deals with the future of the the environment, water, other natural resources and the tourism industry. The geographical and economical realities argue strongly against separation and segregation.
The dominance of power politics, allied with outdated ideology, at fearful cost, has betrayed us all. Therefore it is not unreasonable to ask that other, more representative voices be listened to and the debate widened to give sustainable peace a chance based on the rational observance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and international law.

San Francisco Moves Toward Ban on Owning Goldfish
Posted by Dave Blount at June 21, 2011 10:38 AM
After they wash away all resistance in a tide of political correctness, will there be any limit to the petty tyranny liberals will impose? For the answer, we can turn to San Francisco, which is run entirely by moonbats. Since everything else that isn't mandatory is forbidden in the town that gave us Nancy Pelosi, bureaucrats are going after goldfish:
The San Francisco Animal Control and Welfare Commission wants to take away your goldfish, proposing a bill that would also include a renewed ban on pets like puppies, kittens and hamsters.
The proposed ban is meant to discourage "impulse buys" of pets that sometimes end up at shelters, said commission member Philip Gerrie.
If they would forbidden owning a goldfish because it may end up at a goldfish shelter, imagine the boundless tyranny progs will be wringing out of ObamaCare in the years to come.
Of course, liberal autocrats only grind our faces in their senseless rules because they are so nice. Gerrie
said goldfish, guppies and other tropical fish were added to the proposed ban because of what he called the "inhumane suffering of fish" …
As for people who would argue that it's just a goldfish? "That's how we are in this society," Gerrie said. "Some people say, 'It's just a human' — when it comes to some that kill. It's a matter of degree. Where do you stop?"
After all, there is no fundamental difference between a goldfish and a human being. Just ask PETA's Ingrid "a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy" Newkirk.
Eating fish is still legal in San Franfreakshow, but probably won't be for long. However, if homosexuals are able to derive sensual gratification by inserting wriggling fish up each other's behinds, expect that practice not only to be protected, but celebrated in public schools.
On a tip from GoY.

Akrit Jaswal, India's Child Surgeon – Child Genius
A young girl in India badly burned as a toddler, her fingers had fused together and curled into a knotted ball. Her shepherd family could not afford surgery, but they had heard of a remarkable young boy being called the child surgeon. Akrit Jaswal was only seven years old when he operated, successfully, on the eight year old girl to release her fingers.
Akrit Jaswal had a reputation, in the region, for being a medical genius. He has been shown to have an I.Q. of 146, the highest I.Q. of any boy his age in India, a country of over one billion people.
He has focussed this phenomenal intelligence on medicine and now, at the age of twelve, claims to be on the verge of discovering a cure for cancer.
Akrit Pran Jaswal
An early developer, Akrit was walking and talking by the time he was 10 months old. He was reading and writing by two, and reading Shakespeare, in English, by the time he was five, and is now talking about his theories for oral gene therapy in the fight against cancer.
He has been sponsored and mentored by Mr B. R. Rahi the Chairman of Secondary Education in Dharamshala. He is studying for a science degree at Chandigarh College and, at twelve years of age, is the youngest student ever accepted by an Indian University.
Akrit's father left the family a year ago, depressed and exhausted by six years battling with Indian bureaucracy to get his son's intellect acknowledged and resources made available for his cancer research.
Is it possible that this young boy knows something the medical profession does not? Throughout history, scientific breakthroughs have come not only from the established, the learned, and the scholarly, but also from single flashes of insight and inspiration.
Akrit Jaswal is not phased by his fame and is used to meeting government ministers and press representatives. For ordinary people meeting Akrit, it is very different. When he is in town, they gather for an audience. They come with prescriptions and medicines, seeking advice. They come with ailments and injuries for a diagnosis. They come to see a doctor, a healer. They come to see a guru, and because this is India, there is always spiritual dimension.
Akrit Jaswal may be famous but, will he be the one to unlock the secrets to a cure for cancer. He was invited to Imperial College, London to find out. He will spend two weeks based at Imperial College having his intelligence tested and talking super-mechanisms, genes and therapies with scientists at the cutting-edge of cancer research.
Akrit must convince Professor Mustafa Djamgoz, a world-renowned research biologist, and his colleague Mr Anup Patel, a consultant urological surgeon, that his ideas are realistic and worth pursuing.
The inquisitors become his friends, Mr Patel and Professor Djamgoz are keen to foster Akrit's enthusiasm, keen to protect him from disappointment, and willing to guide him on his way.
Professor Djamgoz says of Akrit: " He is generating ideas based upon what he knows, in an idealistic sort of way, without being in full grip of reality, withou knowing how difficult it is to turn the ideas into practical realities".
Just how intelligent is Akrit? Team Focus, the UK's leading I.Q. analysts agree to test him. For Akrit this was to prove a disappointment. His exceptional results in verbal and numeracy tests were countered by poor practical tests, particularly in the area of pattern matching. Because of this wide range of results Team Focus chose not to give him a final rating.
Rosemary Facer, a childhood psychologist, put forward the theory that Akrit had been an early developer accounting for the good results and because of this early genius he had missed out on later schooling accounting for the poor practical results. These results do not affect what Akrit may achieve, but he needs help, a wise friend to talk to.
The Professor's analysis is that Akrit needs to obsess less and enjoy more. He thinks Akrit shows great potential but it needs to be properly guided.
Akrit returns home to India, slightly maturer, a little more realistic, but this precocious young man is still convinced that he will find a cure for cancer.

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: Need to do some debugging? Who doesn't? But do you really want to be weighed down with a logic analyzer, a pattern generator and a DSO? Well with this tool from Link instruments, you won't be. The MSO-19 is a single-channel 2GSa/s oscilloscope as well as a 200MSa/s logic analyzer and pattern generator. This combination does more than save space, though, because with all nine channels being sampled during the same clock you get accurate time correlation between logic and o-scope events. All channels on the instrument can be viewed simultaneously using the included software. Simply plug in the device, install the drivers and you're ready to do some serious troubleshooting. Also, at just 2.5oz, it's small and light enough to pack in your laptop case or tool bag.
The MSO-19 offers several different triggering options including adjustable rising and falling edge triggers, pulse width, logic triggers, even I2C and SPI trigger words. Also, because of the large buffer size and quick processor in the MSO-19, the speed of your computer won't significantly effect the performance of your instrument. Did we mention that the MSO-19 is also an 8-channel pattern generator? Pattern generator output can be triggered by any of the advanced triggering methods and the software allows to simple data creation and import/export.
Dimensions: 4.0" x 2.4" x 0.8" (102mm x 61mm x 20mm)
Pretty old comments and comparison chart - anyone with experience with Digilent Analog Discovery? Seems to compare well - 100 MSPS at 14bits, includes 16-bit logic analyzer, new software version says native support on Mac and Linux.
Here's the full tech specs for this model: http://www.linkinstruments.com/mso19s.htm
For people looking for a logic analyzer, I'm putting together a basic comparison chart of models under $500. It's a work in progress, but you can check it out here:
@davr: Great job on doing the research and putting it up here! Thank you! I wonder which one did you choose? I already own Logic16 by Saleae and wonder if my next purchase should include both Analog+Logic. Thank you again!
The PoScope Mega1 bundle looks prommising for ~$200USD
2 +5 -channels oscilloscope ~1MHz sample rate @12bit
2 +5 -channels spectrum analyzer ~1MHz sample rate @12bit
2 +5 -channels recorder ~1MHz sample rate @12bit
16-channels logic analyzer (to 10 MHz, edge, level, mask triggering)
Decoding: UART, SPI, I2C and 1-Wire and others
Square signal and PWM generator
8-channels pattern generator (Memory depth: 4000 bit/channel)
+5 channells (5 aditional analog inputs 0-3,3V on logic port)
* will be avaiable as a free upgrade
While the starred items aren't available on this particular model, the PoScope2 Basic Bundle is available also, is ~$140USD, and has all the above features included (although with somewhat lesser specs). I emailed them to find out when the additional features of when the Mega1 bundle will be getting its free upgrade as i would prefer to have the higher speeds and ADC resolutions, even if its ~$70 more..
The PoScope is a complete waste of time. It arrived, and 5 hours later it was bound for the landfill. Most of the useful features don't work:
No serial decoding works…this was a key reason to buy it.
One of the inputs is really noisy…like over 100 milivolts P-P, while the other is not noisy.
The manual lists a lot of features, but few of them work. The buttons stay grayed out. Following the demos online on YouTube will not work.
The logic side of things works slightly better, but is useless without the basic timing/triggering functions working properly.
This was tried on 2 different computers (2 brands, W7 & W8.1).
No dice.
It is a disaster. Do not buy.
oh forgot the link…

Looks very like a very nice product, I'm tempted. Their data sheet says 60 MHz analog bandwidth on the scope, has 200 MSPS in single shot mode, claims 2000 MSPS in repetitive mode. And suggests the logic analyzer and pattern generator can be used simultaneously with the scope (very good!). Good gain control, from 400mV/div to 40V/div. But is there any hope of better than 60 MHz analog bandwidth in repetitive mode? I'd guess they are using the National ADC08200 (or its 1K buffered cousin the ADC08B200) with 500 MHz full power bandwidth, anyone know for sure? To get better than 60 MHz bandwidth, would need to defeat the 60 MHz front end filter, then pray they have an extremely well designed circuit to measure that initial trigger-to-clock interval at the start of each grab.
I plan to buy one. Digging deeper, I see the pattern generator can be tristated, it shares pins with the logic analyzer. I suspect that 2GS/sec figure they give for repetitive signals is a very fuzzy number, not sure what it really means. Here's a quote from their website:
"The 200MSa single shot sample rate and 60MHz bandwidth will allow you see a great picture of a 60MHz signal in single shot mode and an even faster one if you use RIS mode sampling."
@davr: Great job on the spreadsheet! It reveals many "gotchas". Keep updating it! Thanks!
MSO-19 is on the International Space Station. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Link-Instruments/320873161269481
I just get this nice product and I am really happy with it. Use it in uni to our electronic projects for documenting. cheap and nice software one minus is no support for linux :( else a goog product
Had this about 3 weeks; it's my first "real" oscilloscope. Very happy so far. I have limited scope experience, but I've been able to successfully measure and identify the parts of NTSC video signals without any major difficulty.
I did use the scope and pattern generator at the same time but I didn't notice any timing difference. However I'll be looking for it now that it's been mentioned here.
Russ– I'm sure you've thought of this already, but just in case, make sure you check link instruments' web site and download the latest version of the software. Not sure if they had any firmware on their web site, but that might help too.
Checked their website, can't find any answers:
How many bits per sample??
What is the sample storage depth?
I'm assuming they're not storing the samples on the computer when any significant sample rate is used, given that USB has a max throughput of 480Mbit/s, and after protocol overhead you have even less. So, we have:
200MSample/s * n bits/Sample < 480Mbit/s
That would mean at maximum sample rate, the bits per sample is no more than 2. So, what's the sample storage?
Neat stuff though, and a nice price for the features..
- Eric Agan
Looks like 8 bit resolution, 1000 sample buffer.
I have a running mac Mac version I wrapped myself. It is not perfect but it works for me https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37047320/MSO-19.zip
Hope it works for you.
Bought my MSO-19 a little over a year ago and it works great on Windows. However soon after I switched to UBUNTU and I haven't been able to get it to work at all. LinkInstruments has said for the last year they will support Linux but nothing has happened and I no longer believe they are sincere about open source or linux support. So if you are now and will always be a windows user this is a great tool, otherwise don't buy it. Look for mine on eBay in the near future.
Did you try loading it up under wine? I've found a LOT of apps run under it even though though the docs fail to mention that fact. for example diptrace puts out an awesome CAD package but its allegedly windows only. guess what? every one of their tools runs great under wine! yeah wine has come a LONG way over the past few years so you oughta try it before relinquishing to a windows boot. we don't like unity so we run kubuntu now but doubt if that makes a diff.
How about 2-channel MSO-28?
Why the evasive specs on this device? I have been shopping for an oscilloscope and everything I see references the MHz of the unit, but there seems to be nothing here about it. I am new to this so I am happy to admit I may just not know what I am looking at, or is this clever wording to evade the real important specs?
Like rating vacuum cleaners in Amps… (Wow, that vacuum is a real power hog, but how does it do as a vacuum?) kind of thing…
So thanks in advance for insight on this… just don't want to waste my money…
For Mac user: http://www.syscompdesign.com/Instruments.html#CGR101
You'll outgrow this scope pretty quickly. I bought this from Sparkfun in Sept 2009, and a month later was regretting it. And prior to this, I had a Parallax scope which I regret buying too. Bite the bullet and spend a bit more on a scope that has a real front end and that can also do protocol analysis. They cost $100 more, but you'll get an extra analog channel and some additional digital channels to boot.
Both the Link and Parallax scopes suffer from cheap front ends and too basic software. As you try to look at smaller signals, you'll begin to see the stairstepping as these devices don't have any programmable gain in the front end. And the software relies on USB com port emulation which is slow.
Same boat. Sold the MSO now I have [this] (http://www.quantasylum.com/content/Products/QA100.aspx)which is a lot faster and the SW is solid. The MSO is like a toy.
milspecguy, I studied a fair bit after reading your post…and ordered a QA100. it's a nice scope. I really, really wanted a logic analyzer with the scope, which tipped me towards the QA100. If I didn't need logic analyzer, then I'd get a Chinese standalone scope since these prices on those are amazing right now (glad to see SparkFun is starting to carry those)
But man, now that I have the protocol analyzer (and a built in sig gen), it'll be tough to go back to a regular scope.
here's a good write up on the QA100.
Thanks buddy.
So sad the software for Windows 7 64-bit is not available on line. You must call or wait for an email answer to get it.
Not appropriate for anxious people usually found around here.
Day after complement: despite sending my email out of business hours I got answered promptly and could try my gadget that same night. Very helpful.
Thanks for pointing out the 64-Bit issue- They still after a year look like they have not put it up on their web page.
Happy with the product. Only wish it would include a native Mac driver and software for it. Someone know if the raw data dump can be used by other software on a Mac?
Too Bad no Mac software. This looks like it was made for a Mac interface (or maybe iPad / iPhone?).
Hot item. But, only 1 scope channel makes it useless for… well, most any EE work I've ever done :\
I purchased this for the intent of monitoring I2C communications while also monitoring the output of an I2C DAC on my development board.
I can hardly capture a single 9-bit 'train' of data on my I2C before I experience aliasing… the buffer on this is non-existant. The I2C decoder? Doesn't work. (I'm on Windows 64-bit if this makes any difference, but this analyzer is a cheap trinket). The $39 Pickit v2's logic analyzer function is superior to the logic analyzer on the MSO-19.
If your intent is to use this as a logic analyzer, you'll be sorely disappointed as you can't capture a stream of data - as a I said you can only see one train of 9-bits at a time. Purchase something else. If you just want a cheap single-channel USB oscilloscope, there are products in this same price range that offer two-channels.
Either way, if I could do it again, I would've saved my $249 and purchased something other than the MSO-19. Or saved up more like $600 and bought something from USBee.
I bought my MSO-19 directly from Link a short while before Sparkfun started carrying the product. I love this little guy. Unassuming, practical, inexpensive and easy to hook up. I run it off my iMac VMware, on my Vista netbook, and my PC with XP. Nary a glitch and it's help me save literally 100s of hours of debugging time. For the price, it simply can't be beat, and its small size means it doesn't clutter up desktop real estate like those hard-iron boxes do.
I'm very pleased. And also a little proud that my research led me to choose Link and then to see Sparkfun making the same choice.
If you're in the market for a good entry-level scope, the MSO-19 is the one you want.
I like it, works fine with my netbook running XP. One thing I would REALLY like, well two things, serial and 1 wire analysis/decoding.
So let me get this straight, there are a bunch of USB Scopes out there. It seems that people here want native Linux/Mac support.
Is Linux or Mac support more important? I would probably be aiming more towards expecting that Linux support would be the higher-requested item. However, if Linux support was present, Mac support shouldn't be hard to do (theoretically)?
What is the problem? Is it something to do with USB drivers, or the underlying software?
This is a pretty good device for the money. The documentation is sparse and poor so if you don't already know how to use an oscope and logic analyzer then expect to search out that else where and do some trial and error to find how the thing works.
I used the signal generator to generate a PWM wave (very handy) but had timing discrepancies between the signal generated wave and the timing the scope measured. I figured the scope was probably right but who knows.
So in short this is kind of like using a Harbor Freight multimeter. It works, the price is right, but don't depend too heavily on your results.
Nice product, it works fine on my Macbook Pro running inside VMWare with a Windoze-XP image.
The super-small size is really nice for portability. Much better than a standalone scope. I never used a logic analyzer before and now I think its an essential tool.
This product description strangely doesn't say how many channels this is for analog capture, unless i'm just blind. I'm assuming this is two channels?
MSO-19 Channels:
1 Analog channel (DSO)
8 Logic Analyzer
8 Pattern Generator
There are also DSO and LA memory buffers that can used to compare previously captured traces to the current capture.
Link Instruments
No, it's just one analog channel.
You can find more details on the manufacturer's site:
1000 samples is not enough to do any real debugging of even the simplest serial channel. The USBee AX with the Suite software (http://www.usbee.com) is far more useful although not as fast sampling. Even better software than the Logic.
In my use of (older) storage scopes, 1000 samples seems perfectly reasonable. the don't HAVE to run at full speed. debugging 56kbps serial, turn the timebase down. at 3 samples per bit, you can see 33 bytes of data.
"Prefer the logic interface on the Salea and the MSO19 logic levels are limited to 3.3volts and below so if using a PIC at higher voltages would be a problem."
Are you saying that the MSO19 hardware or software only supports up to 3.3 volts because the tech specs for the MSO19 state that Digital threshold is 5 volts.
Two questions: Has anyone tried the TDR? Sounds like a really neat feature that sets this apart from other USB oscilloscopes, and how fast does the display refresh on the screen, compared to a dedicated oscilloscope?
I download the software for this and played with it in demo mode. I also did the same with the Salea Logic system. Prefer the logic interface on the Salea and the MSO19 logic levels are limited to 3.3volts and below so if using a PIC at higher voltages would be a problem.
The Logic inputs are 5V tolerant.
Full specs can be found at:
Link Instruments
I'm not sure if i owersaw this, but can we get a screenshot of the UI?
The Saleae "Logic" logic analyzer has released the SDK for mac/linux for a "private" beta development phase. (may 11th)
Yay! Soon super cool usb logic analyzer for linux/mac types.
from the email
Cross Platform Logic SDK is now in private beta!
We now have a new SDK that works on Linux, Mac and Windows with exactly the same API. It also has output capability, as well as the ability to manage several simultaneously connected Logic devices.
I use an old HP16550C(Circa 1999) I found on craigslist. It came loaded with two logic analyzer boards. Clunky, but cheap, and self contained, no need to worry about your OS, since it has it's own touch screen monitor. Will export X11 UI over ethernet too.
This thing has saved my bacon so many times it was a worthwhile investment.
The "big iron' from yesteryear is perfectly suited to debugging our $3 microcontrollers of today.
Sorry, my response was meant for MauriceRibble.
This looks promising. Any gain setting? A/D resolution? Input impedance? How many channels of what type? Buffer size?
regnirps: This looks promising. Any gain setting? A/D resolution? Input impedance? How many channels of what type? Buffer size?
I own Logic (the USB logic analyzer in the related products) and I can't say enough about it. It's excellent! It all comes down to the software in this case. The software for Logic is intuitive, snappy and super easy to use and lets you get right to the data you need. I highly recommend it.
Logic's software is currently Windows only, but the inventor is currently porting it to Mac and Linux. I very much hope the Mac version is just as good as the Windows version.
Since sparkfun has tested both this product and the USB Logic Analyzer in the related link, I'm wondering if you have a feeling which one of these works much better as a logic analyzer. I imagine it all comes down to software.
While having a scope and analyzer like this would be nice, I'm probably going to mostly use it as an analyzer and would like to know how these compare in that area.
I don't mind the Windows only thing too much, provided the USB protocol is documented. Do you know if protocol docs are available?
How about something like this for us mac-only types? (yes, I have an XP partition - but please don't make me use it!)
We don't have a MAC option at this time but a couple of customers have had success with VMware Fusion.
Link Instruments
Thanks for the followup, but using Fusion (or Bootcamp) is just using Windows on a Mac. My preferred environment is Mac OS X. I have a PC for use when I have to run something in Windows, but I don't enjoy it and I don't want to use it any more than necessary.
I am willing to pay more for a good quality Mac product than an equivalent Windows product because it is worth more to me.
- Dean
I have a running mac Mac version I wrapped myself. It is not perfect but it works for me https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37047320/MSO-19.zip
Hope it works for you.
I second that!
If any tools/products manufacturers are listening in: I am willing to spend more for a quality product that is fully supported on the Mac platform than an equivalent product that is PC-only. Please know that there is a healthy community of Mac users that want to spend their money on Mac-friendly products.
- Dean
I came here to say the same thing: a great idea at a great price, but it's Windows only (useless to me and to those who loathe activation keys…) and its protocol is not documented which means we can't try to port it on a Mac or a Linux.
Too bad, I almost bought it.
If they made one for the mac it would only have one wire and no way to connect it to the mac.
Update: I've sent them a mail to ask about a Mac or Linux version. They replied by saying that "looking into Linux" which could mean that good things may happen in the future.

NEW YORK (Nov. 23)
The refusal of the Austrian Government to settle the claims of Jewish victims of the Nazi regime in Austria was condemned here to day by the Association of Rabbis Survivors of Nazi Persecution of America.
At an urgent meeting, linked to the presence of Austrian Chancellor Julius Raab in this country, the Association adopted a resolution protesting against Austria's tactics on Jewish claims at a time when the Austrian Government is rehabilitating former Nazis. The protest was transmitted to Chancellor Raab, who is now in Washington.

Miracle Skin Transformer Treat & Conceal Eye & Face in Light/Medium Review &Swatches
Written by Khristine, Posted in Blog, Khristine T., Product Review, Swatches
Miracle Skin Transformer Treat & Conceal Eye & Face in Light/Medium
Retails: $36.00 (can be purchased on their website or Sephora)
So first and foremost, this is an awesome concealer. Typically for me, I always have to have a separate concealer for my under eye area and for my blemishes/redness around my nose/cheeks. But this one is a multi-purpose concealer and definitely works for my whole face. Because of it's silicone like consistency, it made my pores on my face disappear as well as provided medium to full coverage. When I set the concealer with powder, I had a flawless finish. It was as if nothing was on my face (which I really liked).
The lasting power is amazing – stayed put for about 6-7 hours (which is great for me, usually the longest my regular concealers have lasted was abour 3-5 hours tops) so this was really impressive for me. I did have a problem with slight creasing under my right eye (because I have a crease that is really deep unfortunately, but this happens to all my concealers)
It did what it claimed:
- Instantly concealed darkness & redness and visible diminished pores (but on the box says diminishes signs of aging with collagen and ceramides)
- Treat, correct, and cover any problem-area on skin including pigmentation and blemishes
Packaging: 5/5
I am such a big fan of products in a tube (instead of in a jar/tub like MAC studio finish, Graftobian soft orange creme corrector, Sheer Cover duo concealer etc). There is a lot of product in this tube too! 15ML/0.50ML which is a lot because you really only need a tiny bit to go a long way! Super easy to use because it is in a tube, and the tip is a bit pointed so you get just the amount you need.
Quality: 4/5
The quality of this product is amazing. Like I mentioned, it did what it claimed and it lasted a long time for me! I didn't break out from using this product and it definitely lived up to it's name. It was a miracle to find a concealer I could use for all over my face. The product didn't feel like it would clog my pores at all, it seamlessly glided across my face and covered my problem areas. The consistency is hard to explain, it's like a mousse like consistency, that when blended into the skin, melted into the skin kind of like silicone and dissipated into nothing. It reminded me of Smashbox Primer (which I have in light) and that's the closest thing I could compare it to..
Usage: 5/5
Super easy to use, no brainer really!
Overall: 4.5/5
I definitely would recommend for those that have dark circles and blemishes/redness that needs medium to full coverage concealer. I loved how it did cover my dark circles, I just didn't like that it did crease on me (minimally, but still) for the price, I was hoping that it wouldn't. Definitely would recommend if you also have big pores, fine lines that need to sort of be "erased", but I think if you had big creases like I did under my eye, it might settle (you really must set this concealer with powder though). I like how this was free from fragrance, parabens, harsh chemicals as well as it is not tested on animals.

Love Your Tits Tyra Moore
Tyra Moore has tits galore! All natural! No kidding! You look at them and you think "are those fake?" Tyra's terrific titties have that firm "straight out of the factory" look but then she goes and picks them up and they're all soft and supple you know those are natural!! I'm almost in disbelief! I mean my tits are nice but this woman was BLESSED! And what's the best thing to do with larger than life real breasts?? Oil 'em up! Check it out! Tyra slips and slides those big puppies all around in her hands!! And of course she tittie-fucks that cock bouncing them rapidly around that dick! That long schlong disappears between those mountains! I just love it when a man is fucking my pussy and I have a vibrator on my clit! The vibration makes my pussy tighten and contract so much while I'm getting fucked from behind!! Tyra enjoys the same thing in this scene!! And when this "pair of tits on legs" gets to fucking in this scene her boobies are all bouncing and all ya wanna do is put your face right up under 'em! Whoever said "less is Moore" obviously wasn't talking about Tyra Moore!! --NeecieLoveYourTits Team Member

Google = Most Published Poet - Poem by Tom Zart
I'm a poet for the Lord
Who created all I love.
A blind man riding a fast horse
Fulfilled by my Father above.
God has blessed me 491 times
With stories I could never compose on my own.
Love, war, faith and the answers of life
Are the seeds of His poems I've sown.
I'm the most over blessed man I've met
I should have been dead a thousand times.
But God sees to it I stay alive
To disciple His goodness to hearts and minds.
Some get up and preach a good sermon
Others stand up and sing a divine song.
I step forth with heart and soul
And deliver God's words of right and wrong.
I'm God's most humble poet
Whose poems have meter and rhyme.
Stories of love, faith, hate, honor and duty,
Obedience, war, heroes, history and crime.
I've performed my gift on T.V. and radio
Before millions I've never met.
Preached my praise of God and country
With 491 poems on the net.
Satan's soldiers, shepherds and bards
Spew forth their foulness and grief.
They attack the joy and goodness of man
Dishonoring life, family, country and belief.
Prospering through work, love and conviction
Enables us to remain whole and how we should be.
Fortifying our soul with fulfillment of faith
Lets our worst tribulations be shouldered by Thee.
Moses, Samson, David, Solomon and Jonah
All failed God in their own human way.
He chose to forgive them and bless their powers
So they might dwell in hearts of man today.
Without God's grace, wisdom and glorious domain
There's no doubt all would soon cease to survive.
Through purpose, morals and Christian conviction
We are able to transform and keep hope alive.

Foods We Love: Tempeh
When it comes to getting a healthy source of protein without a lot of cooking, you can easily whip together a fresh tempeh salad. Tempeh, the nutty-tasting, crunchy soy cake, is one of the finest protein sources around, bringing 31 grams per cup, as well as 24 percent of your Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of iron, and 18% RDA of calcium.
Tempeh originated in what is now Indonesia, most probably on the island of Java, whose inhabitants developed a series of fermented foods. This began possibly a thousand years ago, though certainly by the 19th century, with the earliest confirmed reference being from 1875. Tempeh was first commercially produced in Europe in the mid-20th century, around the same time it was introduced in the United States.
Tempeh also served as an important food during World War II. A Dutchman known as Roelofsen was a prisoner of war in a Japanese camp in Indonesia, where many Europeans did not have enough food. He turned the soybeans into tempeh, and did nutritional studies on it after his release. He found that even prisoners of war suffering from dysentery, who could not digest whole, cooked soybeans, were able to handle the tempeh, because of the fermentation process.
