Audio research at 12k, seems a bit pricy, but I guess it's all relative. My question on the tube spacing is that something that I should really worry about if I'm running the amp at human listening level, ie, for 4" spacing on the tubes for full dissipation, can I assume a derating of continuous power but be ok it planned operation is not at full till.
$12k amp catching on fire, guess they should ship it with a halon system. BTW I solved the leaving the amp on problem somewhat by having them plugged into a GE mechanical timer Well doesn't really solve the problem, but helps some.
Thanks for spurning the ideas and raising issues.

I tried to talk that guy out of buying it but he has more money than he knows what to do with so he did not listen

I also seriously think that guy's wife married him for his money as they bicker and demonstrate all the classic signs of emotional immaturity. This tale just makes me work even harder at bettering myself in my field. Knowledge is power, not the rich bitch wanting the latest designer fad
By the way, the spacing I believe is critical. Even at normal levels, on a push pull quad the heat can be felt 3 feet away. On summer days, the amplifiers alone raise the ambient temperature to where I need my air conditioner. That is a normal 27 degree summer day. Imagine the heat between the tubes. Yikes!

Just an example of a PCB based 6L6 family PP amp.. PCB with electrolytics on the bottom side away from the tube heat works just fine. Top plate is just warm to touch after 4hrs....
For a PPP amp, it may be best from a PCB design stand point to have the output tubes off of the PCB and have the PCB as the driver circuit, bias control and power supply filtering. That would reduce the size, wire it to the output tube sockets similar to the Dynaco designs.
SO many tubes, SO little time!!!

Did some more work on the power supply designer (duncan amps) and came up with a better shot for the resistor, more like 5-10k depending on the where the relay will be OK switch it out of circuit. The relay is rated 350 volts DC into resistive load, but not sure how that may relate to switching with a capacitive load it it matters. Would like to see the caps charged to 350V or more when it overrides the resistor (nominal 500V supply).
The time constant for the delay is also a bit tricky. If you have it too long (to charge the caps more and reduce voltage across the resistor) you start getting into where the tubes are drawing significant current and that's not good for the relay and resistor. Also depending on the rectifier type silicon (Fast start), 5U4 (Medium start), or GZ34 (slower) the delay may be a problem for tube rectifiers if they come up slow as well as the rest of the tubes start drawing current but not enough time to charge the caps. This is all a guess, but in looking at the PSU Designer you can see a curve where you have a high enough charge and time delay works OK so the resistor doesn't blow due to heat.
That was the last part I looked at (and in the mentioned thread too) that the resistor will have to be a fair sized wattage at 10K, even more at 5K. I Have on the board a spot for a 10-14W wire wound and will add a second set of pads for an additional one in parallel if peak start up current is a problem with heat or resistor reliability. Dissipation with a 10K was in the 25 Watt range peak, 10+ watt resistor _may_ work if in circuit for a few seconds, but the extra resistor would be available if a problem. The 5K resistor may be better but again, may need to use 2 10+ watt resistor to support the inrush current and heat.
Will just have to give them a try and see how it works heat wise and the life of the relay.

25 watt resistors?
That design can be made so much more efficient.

25 Watts would be the size needed for a 10k at 500v if a short on the other end of the resistor for total dissipation. The charge of the cap decreased this in a couple of seconds to much lower value then its out of circuit before it's toasted. Am I 100% sure it will work? No, but seems like it would if the peak does not toast the resistor. Am I confidant 2x 10watt resistors would work, yes, net cost 4 bucks, simple design.
Here's the worst case, I remove the relay, jumper the resistor and just turn the amp on.
I think this is just a matter of finding the right resistor value and it's all good, really doesn't seem to me to need to be more complicated then that. As soon as I get a board done, will report on this part of the amp.

I always find resistive divider values through trial and error. Start with something that will deliver a ballpark value. A simulation is an OK approximation. You may have to keep a stock of large resistors on hand or use a huge rheostat. I like the rheostat idea. It will be expensive but it is worth it for a piece of test equipment.

Hi, SandyG,
Very nice, good looking assembly
I have a couple of notes (from my past experience with Williamson type amplifiers):
1) Cathode followers are not necessary. They serve no purpose but add additional pole. Better to use parallel 6SN7 in push-pull driver of output stage (V5 on your schematic), as it have been done in 400W RCA Williamson amplifier.
2) HF stabilization RC network between anode and grid#2 (100pF + 1K) - is it really necessary? Disconnect NFB, and load your amplifier at full power at 20, 100, 2,000, 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000 Hz, then repeat this procedure with GNFB on.
If there is no oscillation of UL output stage, these networks can be removed. Or you can try to measure leakage inductance of your output transformer. If its below 8mH Williamson most likely won't need it.
3) You can tune up input stage and concertina phase splitter according to article "Improved Williamson Amplifier" for minimum distortions. Google for it, it is available from many sites.
4) If you encounter problem with motorboating, shunt coupling capacitors leading to output stage with 1M resistors, as advised in article "Modernize your Williamson Amplifier" by David Hafler. Raise your BIAS voltage to the maximum level before that !!!
5) NFB fixed resistor should be replaced with trim pot + on/off during testing/debugging.
6) Williamson is quite tricky in terms of stability (which had to be checked at different frequencies and output levels), so it is more convenient to make test build on breadboard. Like the one shown below.

Being that the holiday season is still upon us, Hannah Collins and Alison Romero, juniors from Mountain Pointe High School, have been working tirelessly on their individual projects that focus on donating different items to families in need.
Romero, a junior, is in completion of her Angel Tree project, which goes towards assisting students in the McKinney Vento Act, who are students in transition from being homeless or living in a shelter.
The Angel Tree project assisted 11 families in need during the holiday season, where each family received roughly $300 worth of presents and gift cards on anything they needed around their household.
"We ended up with more than $2,400 worth of gift cards and $1,300 worth of presents," Romero said.
Collins is in the completion of her "Show You Care" packages project, which also aids individuals in need during the holiday season with simple everyday necessities.
Inside the care packages are basic everyday necessities such as toothpaste, deodorant and other toiletry items.
The care packages come with food and clothing that are put on the side of each package.
The two Good Samaritans are also involved with Girl Scouts, being in the club together for 10 years, and decided that their projects would be a perfect way to earn their gold award.
"We both needed an idea for our gold award project that had to be sustainable and help out our community," Romero said. "We had such an amazing response for the community that we got extra presents, and we were able to help other families in need that weren't under the McKinney Vento Act."
To get the word out about both projects, Romero and Collins advertised it through Mountain Pointe's newsletter and began spreading it throughout the hallways of the school.
"Administration told us that there were a large amount of homeless students this year and a lot of students in need, so we thought it would be a good idea to set up these programs," Collins said.
Soon after, the word about their projects caught wild fire around the school and members of the Ahwatukee community began to donate items to both projects.
Collins also extended the word through Mountain Pointe's Key Club, and the club assisted with the donation process.
Romero and Collins enjoyed their projects so much they both have decided to make it an annual occurrence, and push it out to other schools around Ahwatukee.
The two Pride students are currently working on their final reports, which focuses on how the projects will become a continuation in their community for years to come.

Still being a football fan? Why not just play football yourself? Many people just limit by a concept that profession things just can play in profession way, just like World Cup, AC Milan. For those people they just play it for fun. That's right, watching excellent football match is a very enjoyable thing, you can know the rule in the football game, skills which stars play with. But why not play a football game with your friends? Maybe what you learn from TV can help you increase skills and enjoy the fun which football bring to you.
Indeed, in modern society, heavy work pressure and responsibility reduce the opportunity to doing exercise. Even in weekend, what they most want to do just sleeping or watching TV to release pressure. All of them cause the problem of fat or sub-health. Many of people ignore this hidden danger, they just think it is the suit way to recall health. But they are wrong, based on scientific evidence – doing exercise is the best way to health. Belong to this conclusion, people wear Football Shoes play football game in idle just an hour or half an hour can promote blood circulation, release pressure and train coordination, mental and physical ability.
Watching and playing may different, even you know the theory of football play, maybe in the football field, you can not find the way to effect. Even you know how to play, the position maybe non-standard. Also the best place to test out whether the football shoes you bought is really suit you is in football field. You can see the ads which famous brands play, you can see the stars like C Lo who worn Nike Mercurial Vapor play very easy in the field, however, maybe the situation maybe different for you. EVA sole maybe better, but the size and technology with your ability maybe different. In fact, some players with wide feet but worn general football shoes can get injury, long-period wearing without notice can lead the deformity of feet. How terrible! So if football is your habit, just play with it. After training, you can also play as well as football players, no longer need to envy others.
For parents who rare have time to play with your kids, no doubt that football is the best game to take care of your kids. Football is a game which contain eleven players in the field, but you are just amateur, it is not the problem. Football is a flexible game, even three players can play with it, this is similar with basketball. So spend a afternoon with your kids, they may be happy and you can enjoy the time with your family. Also kids in football games can learn how to cooperate with others, how to find a good opportunity, prefer mental activity and physical hands ability. During football games, they can learn so many knowledge which class are not given, more over they will know what soccer shoes is really suit them. In this way, parents can train children's life ability – know how to choose football shoes, how to buy Cheap Soccer Shoes, identify the suit shoes for them. Only one football game can learn so many skills, what 's funny? During football game, kids not only enjoy the time, but also learn so many knowledge, it is worth time.
Do not waste too much time, football is a game can play everywhere , and the equipment is so easy – football and a pair of football shoe. Enjoy the happiness which football game brings to you can back to youth. Take action is more important than on parper.
Football fun is not just watching – take action is more important than on TV
Still being a football fan? Why not just play football yourself? Many people just limit by a concept that profession things just can play in profession way, just like World Cup, AC Milan.

Persist playing football in cold weather not only increase football shoes industry but also complete brilliant performances with improvement skills
The passion of football has declined after the finishing of World Cup. However, decreasing the temperature make it impossible to play football in winter. Commercialize factors penetrate into football industry promote football players to the multifaceted development, i.e. ads, entertainment. The result seriously affected the sales of Soccer Shoes, which has been proved to be the most important factor to complete brilliant performances.
Changes of weather also change the habits of human beings. Snow, wind and heavy wear all take away the passion of playing football, this may affect the improvement in football field. Even a lot of football fans choose the latest football shoes which stars endorsement, little practice may also effect skill improvement. Some comments said winter is not the season to play football shaken the determination of football fans, also affect the football shoes industry.
Doctors researched the importance of football shoes for several? years proved that football shoes is the most important factor for football players. Both great football match and injury cause in football shoes, which often ignore the health consideration by manufacturers. After announce the importance of football shoes, the upsurge – purchase money on football shoes has never stopped in summer. Famous brands all produce football shoes to satisfied the demand of customers, for example, Nike Mercurial Vapor 4 football shoes, which is the lightest and most advanced football shoes in Nike mercurial vapors. However, market case cold with the weather cooling, snows, wind and heavy wear make it impossible to play football outside, in the other word, serious affect the sales of football shoes. Even manufactures put health factors inside of soccer shoes can not reverse the inferior in the market. The begin of European Cup raise interest in football, but the cold still exist in football market. This may cause businessmen brains in festivals, object and also discount.
Cheap soccer shoes is a great news for those who can not afford expensive price of new soccer shoes, but want to own one. Also the cheap soccer shoes like a wing for parents to buy one for their children. As seasonal sport, the sales activity during festivals, like Halloween, Christmas increase the sales of football shoes which always high quality and stylish. However, this is the way business promotion, for customers, what you need to do is publish your eyes to find the one really suit you or your children, information show that the unsuit of Football Shoes increase the opportunity to injury which usually ignore by parents.
The discuss whether winter really not conducive to the movement become the focus for football fans, who dreamed of being a famous star. However, this can not concluded at once, advice for those who has dream but lack perseverance – process is always difficult, if you? want to success, despite the psychology of cold weather, persist playing football with your teammates, you will be the best in the future.

Ultra-rapid treatment reduces odds of post-stroke disability
Posted By Howard LeWine, M.D. On August 23, 2013 @ 1:33 pm In Health | Comments Disabled
When it comes to treating stroke, time is brain and every minute counts. That tenet was supported yet again by an international study showing that the sooner clot-busting treatment is begun, the greater the chances of surviving a stroke without a disability.
Writing in the journal Stroke, researchers led by Dr. Daniel Strbian, an associate professor of neurology at Helsinki University Central Hospital in Finland, reported that giving the clot-busting drug alteplase within 90 minutes of the start of stroke symptoms was more effective at preventing long-term problems than giving the drug within 4.5 hours. Current guidelines recommend that a clot-dissolving drug (generally known as a tissue plasminogen activator [tPA]) be administered within 4.5 hours of the onset of symptoms. After 4.5 hours, these drugs are less effective and the risk of bleeding outweighs the small risk of benefit.
Each year, nearly 800,000 Americans have a stroke. Most of them are ischemic strokes. That means they are caused by something blocking blood flow to part of the brain. That something is usually a blood clot. The clot may form in a blood vessel within the brain (causing a thrombotic stroke), or it may form elsewhere in the body and travel to the brain (causing an embolic stroke).
About 10% of strokes occur when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. This causes bleeding in the brain, and also cuts off blood flow to part of the brain. These are called hemorrhagic strokes.
In the study published in Stroke, patients were divided into three groups based on the severity of their stroke: minor; mild-to-moderate; and moderate-to-severe. Those with mild-to-moderate strokes got the most benefit from ultra-rapid treatment. Less benefit for rapid treatment was seen in those with minor strokes, because they are already at low risk of disability, and in those with severe strokes, probably because their blockages were extensive and more resistant to tPA therapy.
But that's not to say that patients with severe stroke symptoms shouldn't be hustled to the hospital and receive early treatment. They, too, should always be considered for intravenous tPA therapy.
In addition to patients' delaying a call to 911 or trip to the hospital, there's another factor that can slow the delivery of tPA. A doctor must be sure that the stroke is not caused by bleeding into the brain. To determine that, an MRI or CT scan must first be done.
Strokes, even "minor" ones, are a medical emergency similar to heart attacks. That's why many experts call stroke a "brain attack." When one strikes, brain cells die quickly. The faster you recognize a stroke and get to the hospital, the faster treatment can begin. And the greater your chance of near or complete recovery, especially if the symptoms are mild to moderate.
If you suspect that you or someone you are with is having a stroke, think FAST:
If you think a stroke is in progress, the best thing to do is to dial 911 or your local emergency number. Let the person on the other end of the line know that you suspect a stroke is happening. That way the emergency department can be ready to do a brain scan.

The next superintendent of the Clark County School District should know the challenges facing education in Las Vegas well, parents told School Board members Tuesday night.
About 30 parents and community members attended a public forum at Bonanza High School to voice their opinions on a variety of education topics, such as the district's legislative agenda. However, the discussion quickly turned to the topic of the district's efforts to find Superintendent Dwight Jones' replacement.
Jones, who abruptly announced his resignation two weeks ago, is leaving the district on Friday — midway through his four-year contract — to care for his elderly mother. Last week, the School Board appointed Deputy Superintendent Pat Skorkowsky as interim superintendent, and approved contract negotiations for an executive search firm to conduct a national search for a new permanent superintendent.
The School Board is expected to vote on a contract with McPherson & Jacobson on Thursday. In 2010, the board paid $60,000 to the Omaha-based firm, which vetted and returned with three candidates, including Jones.
The board also will conduct several public forums to receive input on qualities of a good superintendent for Las Vegas.
Many people attending the parent meeting Tuesday wanted School Board members to hire locally. Community members seemed to want a superintendent who knows Las Vegas well, would engage parents to get involved in schools and will remain loyal to the community. Many were supportive of keeping Skorkowsky on as superintendent.
"We need continuity in this district," said parent Meryl Grant, who has two children at Clark High School. "We don't need a revolving door. We need to think about longevity."
Justin Howard, a 2004 Las Vegas Academy graduate and UNLV senior, said there are plenty of talented Nevadans who are qualified and willing to lead the nation's fifth-largest school district.
"We should be able to find someone here," Howard said. "We need to focus our attention here."
Even an insider could bring fresh ideas from other places to Las Vegas, said parent Paula Barton, who has two children in the district.
"We need someone who is familiar with the School District," Barton said. "We want another Brian Cram (a Las Vegas High School graduate who was superintendent for 11 years)."
Others weren't so sure about hiring an insider.
Michael Hollis, a former Liberty High School coach, said he would like a superintendent who has classroom experience, but possesses "young ideas" to improve the lot of children in Las Vegas.
"We need to open this thing as wide as possible," he said. "Look at our kids — they can't compete at the national level."
Paul Moradkhan, the director of government affairs with the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce, commended the School Board for looking nationally for its next superintendent. Last week, the chamber said it was open to contributing money for the search firm should the board require assistance.
The chamber's 6,000 business members want well-educated Clark County graduates to hire as employees, Maradkhan said.
School Board President Carolyn Edwards defended the board's decision to conduct a national search. Edwards said she encourages local candidates to apply for the position, but said the board has an obligation to choose its next superintendent from among the best candidates across the nation.
"Just because we are doing a search doesn't mean that we are not interested in local people," Edwards said. "We have a responsibility to our constituents to look at the whole pool."
Black and Latino activists said the district needs a superintendent who understands the unique challenges facing students in the minority-majority school district.
Clark County Democratic Black Caucus chairwoman Yvette Williams said Jones — the district's second black superintendent — did more for minority students in his two years in Las Vegas than any other superintendent who stayed longer. Under Jones' tenure, the district looked at ways to improve schools in the historically disadvantaged neighborhood of West Las Vegas and started to look at ways to curb the high rate of suspensions and expulsions of its black students.
"For the first time in a long time, we had hope," Williams said. "We are very much concerned that this is going to go away. All of our children deserve the same quality education."
Jose Solorio, a former School Board member and a Latino activist with Si Se Puede, said the district needs a superintendent who will address the needs of Las Vegas' burgeoning population of English-language learners. Nevada is one of three states that doesn't provide dedicated state funding for its 76,500 ELL students.
"The next superintendent needs experience in dealing with ELL students and the Latino community," Solorio said. "We also need someone with the courage to say we need more funding."
Political organizer Fernando Romero with Hispanics in Politics said the School District needs a leader who has a background in special education.
"We haven't had a superintendent focused on special education," said Romero, who has a son with autism. "We have a number of people here who are capable of doing the job and know our community well."
After the meeting, Edwards said she was encouraged by the turnout and discussion over the superintendent search. School Board members — most of whom were in attendance at Tuesday's meeting — will take the public comments into consideration when choosing the next superintendent, Edwards said.
"It's good for us to hear people's input," Edwards said. "It's clear they want someone who is invested in the community."

BRADENTON, Fla. — Right-handers Kevin Hart (shoulder) and Tyler Yates (elbow), who both are rehabbing from surgeries, threw bullpen sessions this afternoon on day two of minicamp.
Both threw 25 pitches, all fastballs, under the watchful eye of pitching coach Ray Searage. "I like what I saw," Searage told me. "Of course, their timing's going to be off a little bit because they haven't been on the slope for a while. Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic. What they did today gives us a good foundation. We'll build on that. We're on the right track."
It was the first time Hart had thrown off a mound since May, when he had surgery to repair a torn labrum.
"It was pretty good," Hart said. "I felt calm and relaxed and everything. It felt good to get on the mound."
Yates had Tommy John surgery in July 2009, but had setbacks in May 2010 and again in October 2010. That second setback forced Yates to scrap his plans to play winter ball.
"He started throwing some breaking balls and that's when the setback happened," Searage said. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
Today's workout was the second time Yates had thrown off the mound since October.
"Hopefully, I'll be game-ready by the first day of spring training," Yates said. "If I'm a week behind, that won't be too bad, either. Right now, I'm not worried about my velocity; it'll come. My arm feels strong."
Both pitchers will throw another 25-pitch session on Friday. Both also hope to be able to compete for big league jobs in spring training.
"We'll take our time with it," Searage said. "I'll have a better idea in two or three weeks."
»»» Jose Tabata played against Jorge Julio this offseason in the Venezuelan Winter League. "He looked good," Tabata said. "He's still a good pitcher." Julio, 31, a right-handed reliever, has a 1.88 ERA and 22 strikeouts in 28 2/3 innings for Tiburones de la Guaira. The Pirates signed Julio, who hasn't pitched in the majors since 2009, to a minor league deal without an invite to big league spring training — an indication that he must prove himself in Triple-A before management considers giving him a shot during the season.
»»» Matt Diaz, Lyle Overbay, Joel Hanrahan, Neil Walker and Ross Ohlendorf will conduct an hour-long roundtable chat tonight with a group of the Pirates' top minor leaguers. "I have no idea what I'm going to tell them," Ohlendorf said early this morning. "I'll come up with something."
»»» I was talking this morning with Josh Rodriguez, whom the Pirates claimed last month in the Rule 5 draft. "You're a Rule 5 guy, too?" asked Evan Meek, who joined the Pirates in 2008. Meek offered to sit down sometime with Rodriguez and chat about what to expect.
This spring will be the first time Rodriguez, 26, attends big league training camp. Pitcher Daniel McCutchen grinned as he ambled over to offer some advice: "It's pretty easy. You're biggest job will be getting coffee every morning for me and Evan."
»»» Kris Benson, whom the Pirates made the No. 1 overall draft pick in 1996, has retired. Benson, 36, went 70-75 with a 4.42 ERA in 206 games (200 starts). He battled intense shoulder pain the past three seasons and had three arm surgeries in his career.
»»» Class A State College will hold its annual SpikesFest on Feb. 12 at the Penn State Multi-Sport Facility. Manager Dave Turgeon and prospect Matt Hague are slated to attend.
»»» Jim Leyland, Lanny Frattare and Kent Tekulve will appear at the Washington Wild Things' annual hot stove event at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Holiday Inn on Racetrack Road in Washington.

SkillsMalaysia is a rebranding exercise for a national awareness campaign which epitomises innovative skills training denoting the outreach to excellent and distinguished achievements as a result of a unified national aspiration with skills training embodied in its mission.
In line with Rancangan Malaysia Ke Sepuluh (RMKe-10), Mainstreaming Skills Training, the Right Honourable Prime Minister, Dato' Sri Nabib Tun Razak announced on 11 January 2011, SkillsMalaysia as one of the 19 activities of the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) under EPP-5.
The objective of SkillsMalaysia is to create awareness of the opportunities in skills training and job related to TEVT that can contribute towards developing a high-income nation and in making skills training the first choice for school leavers.
SkilllsMalaysia was established to consolidate the capability and focus os DSD as an organization that formulates, promotes and coordinates skills training in Malaysia. It was established after studying and adapting the best practices of developed countries such as Germany, Japan, Australia and other European nations.
The organization of SkillsMalaysia by DSD also was to ensure that all stages of execution of the skills competition is systematically coordinated from the planning to the implementation stage.

The options are endless when it comes to camera cases and bags. From rolling hard cases to sling bags to fitted pouches, you'll have a variety of designs, styles, and sizes to choose from. Looking for a new camera case or bag? Answer the following 2 questions to find the perfect one for you.
Are you a casual shutterbug? If so, a compact case or pouch is perfect for you. This type of case is lightweight, discreet, and usually comes with a detachable wrist strap so you can carry it easily. Most compact cases also include a pocket or 2 so you can store additional batteries or memory cards.
The amount of DSLR accessories you own will determine the size of your camera bag. If you've just upgraded to a DSLR and have minimal accessories, opt for a holster, small backpack, shoulder bag, or sling bag. These bags offer exceptional protection and usually feature a few interior and exterior pockets so you can bring along an extra battery or memory card. You'll need a larger bag or backpack if you plan on packing a tripod, multiple lenses, filters, and more. Want to travel light? DSLR wraps are lightweight covers that protect just your camera so you don't need to carry excess bulk.
Love capturing spectacular photos of the great outdoors? If so, look for a bag that protects your gear from the elements. Some bags come with pull-out or detachable rain covers, while others feature water resistant constructions. You most likely will also use a variety of tripods and filters to help you get that perfect shot so find a shoulder bag or backpack that's large enough to fit all your equipment.
When you're travelling abroad, you're probably out the entire day touring new cities or ancient ruins. Invest in a versatile camera bag that can hold more than your photography gear so you don't have to lug multiple bags around all day. Some bags come equipped with dedicated compartments for your laptop or tablet, while others include space for your personal items.
If you're into nature and wildlife photography, chances are you own at least a few long lenses so you can capture subjects from far away. In this case, you'll need a DSLR camera backpack that's built for hiking and large enough to fit your hefty lenses. Look for a backpack with a comfortable harness system so you can customize how you want your body to carry the weight.
Mobility and speed is everything when you shoot on the street. Consider a backpack or sling bag that gives you side access to your camera. A side access pocket allows you to grab your camera in a flash without having to remove your bag off your shoulders.

US to hold first formal peace talks with TalibanRob Crilly and Peter Foster
Published: June 19 2013 - 3:51PM
America will engage in its first formal direct talks with the Taliban on Thursday, according to US officials, in a milestone on the road to peace after more than a decade of war.
The first meeting will take place in Doha, the Qatari capital, after the Taliban opened its first official overseas office and Washington dropped its long-standing demand that the movement renounce ties with al-Qaeda.
"The US will have its first formal meeting with the Taliban, and indeed first meeting with the Taliban for several years, in a couple of days in Doha," a senior official from the Obama administration said.
Afghan peace negotiators will also travel to Qatar for talks, according to President Hamid Karzai, as Nato officially transferred authority to Afghan national forces on the ground in Afghanistan.
The challenges ahead were underlined by a suicide attack only a few miles from where Mr Karzai was speaking. The Taliban has repeatedly refused to meet Afghan peace envoys.
After months of behind-the-scenes negotiations, including some in Norway, according to Espen Barth Eide, the country's foreign minister, the movement has agreed to open the Doha office to facilitate talks.
"The office is to open dialogue between the Taliban and the world," said Zabiullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, although he made no reference to peace talks or the Afghan government. "The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan [the group's formal name] doesn't want any threats from Afghanistan soil to other countries, and neither permits anyone to threaten other countries using Afghanistan soil.
"We support a political and peaceful solution that ends Afghanistan's occupation, and guarantees the Islamic system and nationwide security."
None of the parties is expecting any imminent breakthrough, but US officials described the opening of negotiations with the Taliban as an "important development" on the road to reconciliation.
They were at pains to be realistic, conceding that levels of trust between parties were "extremely low".
Officials said the first meeting would be an "exchange of agendas" in which both sides laid out what issues they wanted to address. It could be followed by a second meeting in coming weeks.
Recalling that the Northern Ireland peace process took years to complete, senior Obama administration officials said the Taliban office was "the first step on what - if it is successful - will be a very long road", adding that there was "no guarantee that this process will happen quickly, if at all".
One official added that a requirement for the Taliban to drop relations with al-Qaeda - something which had stymied previous attempts at direct talks - was no longer necessary.
"We've long had a demand on the Taliban that they make a statement that distances themselves from the movement from international terrorism, but made clear that we didn't expect immediately for them to break ties with al-Qaeda, because that's an outcome of the negotiation process," the official said.
Graeme Smith, of the International Crisis Group, said members of the High Peace Council themselves do not expect much progress.
"The main forces that were killing a lot of insurgents in recent years are leaving," he said. "The insurgents don't have a whole load of incentive to negotiate until they find out where the military balance lies after the withdrawal."
Speaking at a heavily defended army academy just outside Kabul, Mr Karzai told Nato officials that the handover would help cement support for the Afghan forces. "From tomorrow, our security and defence forces will now be in the lead," he said.
Some 97,000 international troops remain in the country. From now until the end of next year their role will be largely to train and advise local forces.
The transfer of the last 95 districts from Nato to Afghan control include some of the areas still affected by Taliban attacks, including Kandahar and territories that border Pakistan.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, Nato secretary-general, was in Kabul for the hand-over. He said the military coalition will help if and when needed, but will no longer plan, execute or lead operations.
"Ten years ago, there were no Afghan national security forces. Five years ago, Afghan forces were a fraction of what they are today," he said. "Now you have 350,000 Afghan troops and police. A formidable force. And time and again, we have seen them dealing quickly and competently with complex attacks. Defeating the enemies of Afghanistan, and defending and protecting the Afghan people."

The Dog Blog: Suttle Lake and the Fine Art of Escapism
After sniffing every square inch of our cabin, Pippin found a spot by the fireplace and nestled in for a well-deserved nap. My husband and I put away groceries and gear, and then found our books and our own cushy spots on the couch. The cabin we picked at the Lodge at Suttle Lake is pet-friendly and as accommodating to couch potatoes as to hardcore recreationalists. And while the three of us looked more like vegetables than outdoorsy folk at that moment, there was plenty of recreation to come. We had exactly 41 consecutive hours to spend at Suttle Lake, and a plan to let it unfold moment by moment: the Plan Without a Plan.
Someone got married at Suttle Lake the day of our arrival. Pippin sniffed out remnants of the nuptials scattered in yellow and white petals across the lawn, the only tracks remaining of an enthusiastic flower girl. The decorated gazebo looks over Suttle Lake and into the eye of the setting sun, creating the perfect venue to begin Happily Ever After.
Those of us with less weighty pursuits, however, also gather at this same lake for its beauty, recreational quests, seclusion, and happy proximity to Sisters, Redmond, and Bend; just 45 minutes from the latter, yet a million light years away. (From Portland: 1 hour, 45 minutes.)
Speaking of time, Suttle Lake appeared on the land 10,000 years ago, when a 25,000-year-old glacier melted itself into a mile-an-a-half long, 75-foot deep, ice-cold puddle. Since then it has been a gathering place for Native Americans, trappers, wanderers and escape artists – like us.
Our headquarters this sunny weekend is The Lodge at Suttle Lake, tucked into the Central Cascades, near Mt. Washington, Mt. Jefferson and Three Fingered Jack. The lodge is a stunning affair – especially considering it sits in the middle of a forest – built in the Grand Canadian craftsman style with high ceilings, exposed wood and commanding bay window.
Visitors have four types of accommodations to choose from: luxurious lodge rooms, rustic cabins, historic cabins, and waterfront cabins, with several pet-friendly options. Summer prices for cabins range from $99 to $499 per night. Lodge rooms range from $199 to $299 per night. Pet fees: $25 per night.
If camping is more your style, try the Suttle Lake Area Campgrounds at Blue Bay, Link Creek or South Shore. These three lakeside campgrounds offer a total of about 100 campsites, with restrooms and potable water.
On Friday and Saturday nights the good folks at the Lodge serve complimentary house wine and international cheeses in an informal mix-and-mingle setting overlooking the lake. Niiiice. This tides us over between lunch and dinner, when the Boathouse Restaurant makes the menu transition and guests must fend for themselves for a whole hour.
The Boathouse Restaurant wears its name well, sitting smack dab on the marina, where you might just see a mother goose and her six fluffy, mohawked goslings threading their way by. Or an eagle might soar overhead from its nest on the south shore. Near dusk, fish will most assuredly be splashing to the surface in pursuit of their own meals.
Next Day: time to play. Best choices include a walk around the lake (3.5 miles) which takes you west from the lodge, to the far end of the lake, passing a magnificent view of Mt. Washington, fishermen in small pockets of open space, at least one dog retrieving sticks, and wild roses growing along the bank. After making the turn at the west-end boat launch, you'll cut past some campgrounds attached to folks fishing, kids splashing, grownups relaxing and groups of pretty happy people. A mountain biker or two may pass your way with a friendly wave. People are simply pleased to be here. On through a column of tall grasses and native shrubs, and you'll be back at your cabin for a snack. Then it's time to chat, read or nap – each to their own preference and style.
Motorboats and jet skis are allowed on Suttle Lake, so if you feel the need for speed, you can mix it up with the fishing boats (each to their own preference and style). Native fish found in the lake include German Brown Trout, Brook Trout, and Kokanee (land locked) Salmon.
We brought mountain bikes, so we headed east to Camp Sherman on the new Lake Creek Trail. Easy, family-friendly, and fun, this pretty little trail takes you along Lake Creek, then through the Metolius Preserve and eventually onto an old double-track Forest Service Road, dumping you out in Camp Sherman, just north of the Community Center.
Camp Sherman has another whole slate of fun things to do, but I'll save that for another day. Ride back the 4.5 miles to Suttle Lake and start all over again. It must be time to eat again.

Juhi Chawla, who has worked with stars like Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan in her prime, hopes that someday she is paired with Salman Khan in a movie.
"I hope I get to work with Salman...he will not work with me because he hasn't in all these years," Juhi told IANS even as she laughed.
"I don't see that happening. But I never thought I will be working with Madhuri (Dixit)... so you never know. I would love to do anything which is justified on papers," she added.
Juhi and Madhuri are working together for the first time in "Gulaab Gang".
Juhi and Salman have been a part of a few common films, but they never got to play a pair.
If I am not wrong, they have worked together in Deewana Mastana wherein in the end, it is shown the Juhi Chawla gets married to Salman Khan.

After it is announced that the drama series will not be picked up for a fourth season, the Christina Hawthorne depicter tweets, 'I want to say thank you to all the fans for being Hawthorne soldiers.'
TNT has pulled the plug on medical drama "Hawthorne" after three seasons. On Friday, September 2, the network announced that it will not order a fourth season of the show, which was struggling with its ratings although it generated loyal fan base.
"TNT truly appreciates the tremendous dedication of everyone involved," the network said in a statement. "The series gave TNT the opportunity to work with many outstanding people, including Jada Pinkett Smith and the rest of the show's talented cast, crew, producers and writers. We wish everyone involved with HawthoRNe nothing but the best."
Lead actress Jada has since taken to Twitter to inform fans about the cancellation and thank them. "Hey everyone...if you don't know Hawthorne will not be returning for another season. I want to say thank you to all the fans for being Hawthorne soldiers. All our facebook fans...twitter soldiers and viewers...you held us down. Of course you know there is more to come...believe it!" she wrote.
A petition has been proposed to urge TNT not to cancel the series. In the argument, the person who set up the petition praises the show for having "a diverse cast and a strong presence in so many different communities."
"Hawthorne" is the second series that was canceled by TNT this summer. The network had axed Emmy-nominated show "Men of a Certain Age" back in July, sparking protests among TV critics.

Australian selector and former fast bowler Merv Hughes wants his national side to become hard-nosed ahead of November's Ashes series in Australia.
Hughes said the well-publicised friendships between the Australian and English players in last year's series may have contributed to the defeat in England.
"It was all too matey for me - imagine if Shane Warne and Kevin Pietersen didn't have that friendship," he told the BBC.
"We lost the attitude towards the English that we once had, the attitude that was introduced by Allan Border."
Hughes admits he would like the team to revert back to the style that was played under Border where uncompromising cricket took centre-stage.
Border took on a struggling team in 1985, leading them to 32 Test victories, with three Ashes series wins in six.
Hughes' words are similar to those of former skipper Steve Waugh, who said earlier in the year that Australia had "lost a bit of mystique" by being too friendly with England.
However, Test opener Justin Langer believes Hughes' call for the side to become hard-nosed is one to be scoffed at.
"It's the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard," he said.
"We played good, hard cricket on the field and had a beer off it - that's how it should be."

One of the many things I love about birthdays, in addition to being around another year to celebrate them, is the fact that there are many companies who will give me flat out freebies just for getting older. Free meals, coupons, cards and more are some of the goodies I have received on my birthday after signing up on the company websites. Since this is my birthday month, I thought it was a good time to chat about all those great freebies so you, too, can score that elusive free lunch!
Heyitsfree.net has put together a very long list of companies who offer birthday freebies. I highly recommend you look through it to see what freebies the various companies are offering and then sign up for the ones you want. In the last few days, I have received e-mailed coupons for free lunch, free lunch with drink purchase, free ice cream, free cookies, free doughnut and drink, BOGO meal coupons and more for my birthday!
Some of the participating companies include Auntie Annie's, Breugger's, Chili's, Dairy Queen, IHOP, Moe's, Orange Julius, Quiznos, TGI Fridays, Krispy Kreme and so many more! Another benefit is that when you sign up with these companies, many give you a freebie or high value discount coupon right then and there. You don't even have to wait until your birthday. And, they often give you coupons throughout the year!
So far this week, I have enjoyed the following birthday freebies:
Moe's: Free HUGE burrito (lasted 2 lunches) with purchase of $2 drink
Krispy Kreme: Free doughnut and drink (shared with my 11 year old on Friday)
Brueggar's: Free bagel and cream cheese with purchase of drink ($2)
I still have coupons that I may or may not get to using for BOGO Orange Julius, free Baskin Robbins cone, BOGO Auntie Annie's, free IHOP meal, free appetizers or dessert from multiple restaurants. I won't use all of these but some of them I will use before they expires in the next week or so.
What birthday freebies have you all received in the past?
Happy birthday to all the other May babies out there!

Stocks to Buy #5: iShares MSCI Russia Capped ETF (ERUS)
Click to Enlarge Wait? Buy Russia here? It might not be as crazy as it sounds. The fact that Russia has an intrusive government and important structural problems in its economy is well known.
Not for nothing does its market trade for an absurdly low valuation. According to etfdb.com, the price-to-earnings ratios of the three largest Russia ETFs are as follows:
|Market Vectors Russia ETF
|iShares MSCI Russia Capped ETF
|Market Vectors Russia Small-Cap ETF
Notably, the Market Vectors Russia Small-Cap ETF (RSXJ) and iShares MSCI Russia Capped ETF (ERUS) feature the second- and third-lowest valuations of all equity ETFs. As any investor knows, valuation alone isn't a reason to buy — especially when something's cheap for a reason. However, it does set up the potential for a possible trade from the long side.
Throughout history, the threat of armed conflict has represented a good time to buy since the actual outcome proves more benign than the initial fears.
This is a risky trade to make, since it's impossible to say how the Ukraine issue plays out. However, what we do know is that RSX is already discounting a very destructive scenario. If the reality is somewhat more favorable, Russia is a depressed market poised to pop. Traders should keep a close eye on this one — it just might be 2014's answer to the rally in Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF's (GREK) during 2012.
As of this writing, Daniel Putnam did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.


text: By BARRY HATTONLISBON, Portugal (AP) ⿿ Portugal raised ⿬1.5 billion ($2 billion) in a debt sale at sharply lower rates Wednesday as the bailed-out country continues to benefit from improving market confidence, despite forecasts its recession will deepen. Finance Minister Vitor Gaspar said Wednesday the government expects an economic contraction this year of 2 percent ⿿ double its earlier prediction. It will be Portugal's third straight year of recession as austerity measures including steep tax hikes and welfare cuts are blamed for a crunch on spending and investment, as well as an unemployment rate that has hit a record 16.9 percent. Portugal needed a ⿬78 billion bailout in 2011 when a decade of average growth below 1 percent and mounting debts pushed it close to bankruptcy. Investor faith in Portugal has returned in recent months ⿿ a trend reflected in falling interest rates on its debt ⿿ as the European Central Bank has indicated it is willing to help eurozone countries that, like Portugal, are abiding by debt-reduction programs. Portugal hopes to be able to finance itself without help by the end of the year. In the third quarter of last year, the latest figure available, the deficit stood at 3.2 percent of annual GDP. In 2010, it was 10.1 percent. Given Portugal's recent record on slashing debt, Gaspar told a parliamentary committee hearing it was "reasonable" to expect that its bailout lenders ⿿ the so-called troika of the ECB, the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund ⿿ will grant Portugal an extra year to meet its debt targets. He did not elaborate but Portugal is currently aiming for a deficit of 2.5 percent of gross domestic product in 2014. A longer time span to reduce the deficit would potentially allow the government time to ease off on its contested cuts and tax hikes.

WASHINGTON, Feb 27 (Reuters) - U.S. tax authorities and foreign governments are on track to conclude dozens of agreements in coming months on the sharing of financial data about citizens, with deadlines nearing for implementation of a sweeping U.S. anti-tax-evasion law, tax experts said.
The U.S. Treasury on Monday initialed an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Germany, for instance. The deal still needs final approval by both countries' tax officials, but shows progress being made in implementing the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA).
FATCA, made law in 2010 as part of a crackdown on tax dodging by wealthy Americans, requires foreign financial institutions to disclose to the Internal Revenue Service more about Americans' offshore accounts that are worth more than $50,000.
Banks and other institutions are affected by the law, which Treasury is implementing through a series of bilateral IGAs. Completed pacts are in place with Britain, Denmark, Ireland, Mexico and, since earlier this month, with Switzerland.
More than 50 other countries are working with Treasury to sign IGAs by the end of the year. FATCA takes full effect on Jan. 1, 2014. An interim deadline is Oct. 25, when foreign firms need to register with the IRS for FATCA.
Germany was "the next big domino to fall" in Treasury's IGA process, said Jonathan Jackel, a lawyer with Burt, Staples & Maner LLP. The German deal was "a positive development" for additional IGAs, he said.
If a foreign firm fails to comply with FATCA, it could be frozen out of U.S. capital markets.
Treasury and IRS still need to publish forms and instructions for foreign banks and other financial institutions so they can comply with FATCA. The foreign firms will begin reporting U.S. client information to the IRS beginning in 2015.
FATCA implementation is seen by some tax experts as contributing to greater tax strictness around the world.
The European Commission said on Monday that it is studying EU-wide taxpayer identification numbers to fight tax evasion.
"There's been a real shift on the international level in identifying tax evasion as a massive social problem," said Heather Lowe, director of government affairs at anti-graft watchdog Global Financial Integrity.
"The U.S. definitely kicked it off, but Europe's now running with it," Lowe said. "There is a sense of urgency."
Separately, Manal Corwin, deputy assistant Treasury secretary for international tax affairs and a top negotiator for FATCA, has left the department, a Treasury spokeswoman confirmed on Wednesday.

Quick Mold Change
For The Plastics Industry
"I can now change 40 tools in the time it takes (the competition) to change one."
"Safety has increased 100-fold."
In a quest to achieve Just In Time production and increase both injection mold availability and safety levels during mold changeover, this well-known manufacturer chose a HILMA Quick Change System. Our engineers worked with the company to design a mold change system that met those goals and also reduced inventory and labor requirements.
Before implementing the HILMA system, a 2,000-pound mold changeover required:
After the installation, the same procedure required:
See below for application photos and further information on HILMA Quick Mold Change products. Click for molding machines application examples.
A HILMA mold clamp and roller system is installed on this 300-ton injection molding machine. The mold can be loaded by rolling it into the far side of the machine onto the custom mold roller set. It is then securely held in place with the HILMA clamps.
The lower clamps are shown mounted on a custom-designed mold roller set. The clamp heads are retracted, as shown, during mold loading. With the molds in place, the clamp heads extend out, then straight down onto the mold backplate while the clamp mechanically locks with an internal wedge mechanism.
