There goes that damned Ninth Circuit again. While Progressives and yes, their comrades on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals was usurping presidential authority and rioting, the Ninth Circuit ruled that the state of Arizona must under Barack Obama's illegal amnesty allow driver's licenses to illegal aliens.
…There is no word in the English language to describe this degree of perfidy and hypocrisy…the full court refused to overturn a three-judge panel that forced Arizona to provide DACA recipients with driver's licenses.
The rationale of the court? Arizona was preempted by federal immigration powers!!!
"The federal government, not the states, holds exclusive authority concerning direct matters of immigration law," wrote the radical Judge Harry Pregerson. This opinion to deny the rehearing of the case was joined by 23 of the remaining 28 active judges on the Ninth Circuit … including Judge Michelle Friedland. She wrote the opinion last week saying that states can force the federal government to bring in more immigrants even when the president is acting on iron-clad statutory authority[…]

The recently announced plans by Baton Rouge General to close the emergency room on its Mid City campus are more than just a Baton Rouge story.
The hospital's financial losses, which have multiplied since the closure of the city's charity hospital and the creation of a new public-private partnership at another hospital, point to some basic challenges facing other health care institutions in other parts of Louisiana.
Communities around the state, even in widely varying situations since the closure of the charity system, may find that unintended consequences of such a dramatic shift are going to cause problems in the near future.
Perhaps elsewhere it will not be exactly the situation of the General's Mid City Campus, suffering for some time by declining population in the central city along Florida Boulevard. The General reported, though, that losses in the ER surged because of the lack of a public ER in the northern part of the city, where the old Earl K. Long public hospital once was located.
The Mid City crisis erupts as many neighborhoods in the area are coming back from decline, with new residents, including many young families, moving there.
In other cities, the difficulties may be different, but the sudden decisions to make particular hospitals in each region of the state into partners with LSU and the Department of Health and Hospitals may have created a set of winners and losers in medical care. The partners, such as the General's competitor in Baton Rouge, Our Lady of the Lake, have received handsomely preferential financial deals for treatment of the uninsured.
For the moment in Baton Rouge, what the administration of Gov. Bobby Jindal should have done before the abrupt shift is now underway: planning. The administration is working on extended hours at an urgent care center in Mid City, among other short-term responses.
That idea isn't bad at all: The majority, perhaps the vast majority, of ER visits by the poor can and should be handled by doctors or clinics instead of expensive emergency facilities. In some cases around the state, too, the partnerships may well have expanded needed services without harmful impacts on peer hospitals. It's not an all-is-unwell story.
Nevertheless, from Mid City it's going to be a long trek to an ER in Baton Rouge traffic, known nationally for its delays. And the precedent set by the Jindal administration — we'll try and help once the finances hit the fan — is not encouraging for other communities. Institutions may already be under stress, but where is the community mechanism to assess the problems and suggest solutions?
The old charities were under the Jindal-controlled Board of Supervisors, which is supposed to represent the best interests of LSU — and not necessarily reflect the will of the community where its decisions produce such unintended consequences as that in Mid City Baton Rouge.
DHH officials, slammed by budget cuts, are sent into the breach without money to fix the problem; the cash is soaked up by the winners, the LSU-selected partners. And Jindal appears to have little interest in these matters until they end up on the front pages.
Whether Jindal's budget provides enough money to operate the new LSU hospital under construction in New Orleans is only one facet of this statewide problem.
Where is the mechanism that will assess in each region whether these LSU partnership contracts are working for the benefit of the community as a whole?

The most popular was by far the Raspberry Mojito. It was light, refeshing and sweet. For me, a little too sweet. Next time I will knock the sugar down from 1/2 cup to 1/3 cup. The best part was the Raspberry Coulis. Holy crap. It is lip smacking good! I had some leftover and drizzled it over some vanilla ice cream. Good Lord in heaven it was dreamy.
Next was my famous Sangria recipe (no photo). I found this recipe a couple years ago on About.com. Since then it has been my go to recipe. The reason why I love it is because it uses Gin instead of Brandy. This way I can have Gin and tonics with the leftover Gin. Another one of my summertime favorites.
Then came the extremely refreshing Peach Martini's. Surprisingly these are not as sweet as you think. The peach nectar and peach schnapps are perfect partners with the vanilla vodka.
With all this booze you would think all of us would be hugging the porcelain god, but nope. All of us were shocked that we weren't feeling the booze. We think it was due to eating a lot of food and large chunks of time between each drink. Huh. Who would of thought.

The General's Chili
Recipe by Starman5
This chili won third place in a chili competition. It has been entered in 5 competitions. This chili tastes even better the next day after the flavors have blended overnight. Can be stored in freezer with no loss of taste.
Top Review by Linky
This was great chili! I must admit i did make some adjustments tho! I only had hot Italian sausage and didn't have any ancho peppers. I added some diced red, yellow and orange peppers. And I couldn't help myself, but I added a couple cans of black beans. And even some elbow macaroni. It's a Wisconsin thing, I think! Made this for a chili lunch at church - I can't wait to hear if they like it! By the way, who's the General? Spring 2012 PAC
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 lbs beef, cut into 1/4 inch cubes or very, very coarsely ground
- 1 lb sweet, mild italian sausage plus 1/2 teaspoon ground fennel seed or 1 pound breakfast sausage plus 1 ground fennel
- 6 medium tomatoes, finely diced
- 3 cups chopped onions (or two 16 ounce bags frozen, chopped onions)
- 4 cloves, garlic, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 4 dried, medium hot anaheim or" new mexico" chilies, stemmed and deseeded, roasted, then ground into powder (6 to 8 tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder, mix (any brand)
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 3 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 cup wheat bran flakes (optional)
- 2 quarts water
Directions See How It's Made
- Fry, then crumble the sausage.
- Add all ingredients except crumbled sausage and beef to a stockpot, bring to a boil. Add the beef a little at a time, so that the pieces don't stick together, and reduce to a medium simmer for about 1 hour or until beef cubes are almost tender, stirring every 15 minutes.
- Add crumbled sausage and reduce heat to a low simmer until beef cubes are tender, another ½ to 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
- The wheat bran flakes add no taste, but makes the chili thicker, and the fiber content is good for digestion.
- Most chili recipes use coarsely ground beef. This one uses ¼ inch cubes of beef, which would be like very, very coarsely ground beef. It gives the dish a unique heavier texture, and this recipe is a little soupier than most chili recipes. I now use a #22 meat grinder with a grinder plate that has 3/4 inch holes to grind the beef instead of spending the lengthy time to dice the beef into 1/4 inch cubes.

"Today's report that Arzigul Tursun, a Muslim Uyghur woman from China's Xinjiang region, has apparently been released from custody is great news for both her family and women throughout China. The decision to spare Arzigul and her child from the tragedy of forced abortion is, we hope, a sign that more women in China will be saved from this grave human rights abuse.
"We understand that the local population-control committee chief stated that the abortion would have compromised Arzigul Tursun's health. We know that abortion threatens women's physical and mental health, and we further recognize that abortion always destroys the life of a child. There are always two victims in every abortion, and we are relieved that this abortion did not take place.
"As Members of Congress, we continue to urge the US government to do everything possible to end human rights abuses in China, including withholding funds from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) until they divest themselves from providing support to the agency that carries out China's abusive population control program."
Representatives Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Joe Pitts (R-PA), both members of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, have vowed to continue to carefully follow Arzigul's case to help ensure that she and her family do not suffer any direct or subtle forms of retribution for her courage in fighting to save her child.
In the last few days both Reps. Smith and Pitts pressed Chinese officials to release Arzigul and to allow her to keep her baby. Smith also raised concerns directly with Zhou Wenzhong, Chinese ambassador to the United States and Clark Randt, U.S. ambassador to China.

Home > Press > New Nanomedicine Institute Housed at UMass Amherst Will Develop Tiny Tools for Medical Diagnostics
The University of Massachusetts Amherst is host to a new nanomedicine institute focused on developing super-tiny structures for biomedical research. The institute was launched with $200,000 in start-up funds from UMass President Jack M. Wilson's Science and Technology Initiatives Fund and the President's Creative Economy Fund. Researchers involved with the institute are developing novel nanostructures for use in medical diagnostics and therapeutics, including tools for removing blood pathogens and helping the immune system fight malaria.
An important goal of the institute is to train students in the emerging field of nanomedicine and team with industry to transfer developed technology, stimulating manufacturing and economic opportunities in the region.
The institute is an interdisciplinary collaboration among 12 researchers from UMass Amherst, the UMass Medical School and UMass Lowell. UMass Amherst scientists T.J. Lakis Mountziaris and Surita Bhatia of chemical engineering and Eicke Latz from the UMass Medical School are co-directors. Zhiyong Gu serves as the liaison with the UMass Lowell faculty. The institute is one of 14 faculty projects in the UMass system recently funded though the President's Science and Technology Initiatives Fund and the President's Creative Economy Fund.
"Massachusetts is an ideal location for this kind of research because of the history in work related to biotechnology, medicine and medical devices," says Mountziaris, the principal investigator from UMass Amherst and head of the department of chemical engineering. "We also have a unique strength in nanotechnology." Several of the UMass Amherst faculty involved in the institute do related work at UMass Amherst's MassNanoTech Institute and the Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center on Hierarchical Manufacturing.
The institute will initially concentrate on three research areas: engineering fluorescent nanostructures that can be used for tagging proteins to aid in understanding the immune system; engineering of magnetic nanoparticles to remove pathogens such as viruses from blood; and developing biodegradable nanostructures that can help train the immune system to recognize and respond to the malaria parasite.
Research at the institute aims to make the next generation of medical diagnostic instruments more portable, more sensitive and amenable to smaller samples, says Mountziaris, who is involved in the fluorescent tagging research. His group aims to develop fluorescent nanocrystals that will help researchers detect and diagnose certain conditions or diseases, even when they only have a tiny sample of material to work with.
Mountziaris likens the evolution of computing technology to that of clinical diagnostic technology. Computing technology has evolved over the past few decades from very large mainframe computers to tiny portable devices that can be stored in a pocket. "Anything that is happening now in clinical diagnostics can actually be happening in a more efficient and miniaturized way with better detection media," he says.
"What will revolutionize medical testing are completely portable diagnostic instruments that can be taken to the point of care—a doctor's office, somebody's home or a remote village," Mountziaris says. "This type of testing will have a significant impact on healthcare delivery in the developing world."
Mountziaris is collaborating with Latz in a project to develop novel biosensors for immune stimulants in patient fluids. The ability to image infectious or inflammatory processes in cells will enable a better understanding of disease processes and could aid in the delivery of personalized medical care.
The institute will also focus on engineering magnetic nanoparticles that can be selectively attached to viruses or other pathogens in the blood of a patient. The patient's blood will be gradually withdrawn and mixed with the engineered particles, then, using a magnetic field, the viruses will be separated from the bloodstream and the purified blood returned to the body. Robert Finberg from the UMass Medical School is leading this effort. The method could be particularly useful in treating patients suffering from chronic viral diseases and will provide insights on how to refine the blood of chronically ill patients from a variety of toxins.
The third research thrust of the institute aims to develop biodegradable nanoparticles to train the immune system to recognize certain "stealth" parasites that are hard for the body's defense system to detect in the early stages of an infection. The initial focus is on the malaria parasite, which is the number-one killer in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, especially for children below the age of five. Douglas Golenbock from the UMass Medical School is leading this effort.

Life after kids can certainly take a toll on your body. Just ask Countess Vaughn.
The 37-year-old actress noticed a change to her frame after birthing two babies and knew she had to take control of her weight. On her TV One reality series "Hollywood Divas," she underwent liposuction surgery and is proud to announce she's dropped from a size 16 to a size 10.
"I've always been honest about everything," Vaughn recently told PEOPLE. "I wanted to do a mommy makeover. I had done it after my oldest child. I really needed to just treat myself, and I'm happy about it!"
Vaughn said her key to speeding up the weight-loss process was getting into snacking.
"I watch what I eat, and I'm into snacking now. I used to just eat maybe once or twice [a day] – breakfast and then dinner, maybe skip lunch," she said. "But now I try to snack, have some nuts, have some yogurt."
Vaughn also said she's been cutting down on the fried chicken (a personal favorite) and incorporating more walking into her fitness program. Overall, she said she's in a happier place.
She added, "I feel better and I feel healthier."

Should The Government Give More Funds in Special Education Program?
As we all know, everyone deserves a good education, regardless of status in life, age, and even the state of health of each individual. As one of the top priorities in any nation in the world, we see education as important simply because of the belief that it helps us drive people to a better and more improved system, which makes us more successful and worthwhile not just as individuals but as a group. This is just as important when it comes to people with special needs or disabilities. Humanity isn't defined if there is no education supporting it.
And with special education, people with disabilities can have the same opportunities to learning, which may be a bit different compared to the usual compulsory education that others are having. The ideal is that special education, depending on each student, is able to address their differences and needs and will involve planned and monitored procedures. With this kind of set-up, do you think that the government should give more funds for the special education program?
Special education Singapore have come a long way since the time where they were one of only two countries in the ASEAN who was not a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which means that they do not mandate a guarantee for persons with disabilities to get inclusive education. This move has brought a lot of attention from various groups, including one of the members of the Parliament. It was sought out as a form of discrimination, but it's a good thing that the said convention was ratified on 2013.
In terms of budget, we would assume that there is more detail that should be looked upon when it comes to special education. This obviously requires more work and specialists to do the teaching, rather than a normal teacher who can teach general subjects like Math or Science. Singapore's education budget is currently 20% of the annual budget, amounting to $11.6 billion just last 2013.
We would think that the government should do something about this, since the current budget for education is being handled by voluntary welfare organisations. Although they receive proper funding from the Ministry, there is still demand for better schools that can accommodate people with special needs. There are also other schools which are funded by private organizations, which deliver the same thing of focusing the needs of every student, and doing their best to support and adjust based on the different struggles that these people have. Other than that, we may need to come up with something better to keep the balance between compulsory and special education in the pursuit of unlocking the potential of these people, even those with differences.

THE talkback caller had been following the Western Bulldogs for 45 years, which added a fair bit of weight behind his opinion of Jack Macrae.
"Macrae is as good, maybe a little bit better, than Doug Hawkins at the same age."
Out Footscray way, any comparison with Hawkins is as big as it gets. Dougie is royalty at the Whitten Oval and for a second-year player to be mentioned in the same sentence says a lot.
Macrae is the hottest youngster in the game, averaging 28 possessions in the opening three games of the season and including a match-turning performance against Richmond last week.
Former North Melbourne premiership star David King coached Macrae at Carey Grammar for two years and he hears the Hawkins comparison and then offers a big one of his own.
"He is a silent assassin," King says. "He reminds me a lot of Arch (Glenn Archer), just with the way he is.
"He is a lovely kid and all that stuff but get him out on the footy field and he wants to hurt you, he wants to kill you and he definitely wants to embarrass people which I think is a great trait."
Macrae is a classic cas of "don't judge a book by its cover".
He speaks with a soft voice, his answers are thoughtful and intelligent which makes it hard to believe it's the same person who the story goes recently ripped through former captain Matthew Boyd on the field for not being accountable.
"I save my voice for the weekend I guess," he says.
He was born in Kew, a mad Hawthorn supporter — he wore Shane Crawford's number on his back — who didn't know much about the western suburbs, let alone its football team.
"Probably my earliest memory was when Brad Johnson was under the speccy from Gary Moorcroft."
His obvious maturity for a 19-year-old can be traced back to his upbringing and the extended family in which he was given more responsibility than most teenagers.
Macrae's parents divorced when he was three and his older brother, Tom, was six.
A few years on the family grew with his father, David, who is in the retirement village industry, having two more children, Finlay and Lucia, while his mother had another son, Harrison.
"Having two families has been really great for me," he says. "Growing up my parents were pretty honest with me and gave me a lot of responsibility for how I wanted to be seen.
"Footy for me was always my No. 1 priority but having that younger family, having to be more of a role model, made me mature more quickly.
"When Tom moved to the Gold Coast I was the sole older brother but I have lots of fun with them and it's good to be looked up to."
His junior career wasn't the smooth sailing you'd expect from a No. 6 draft pick and he battled to get a look-in for representative squads and at TAC Cup level with the Oakleigh Chargers.
King takes up the story.
"When I first got there (Carey Grammar) I had to try and talk Oakleigh Chargers into playing him and they wouldn't play him which was a real frustration for me," King said.
"He averaged something like 35 possessions in Year 11 and that just doesn't happen. Year 11 kids don't do that, the Year 12s do but the Year 11s just don't.
"The endeavour and arrogance he plays with is great. There were a couple of times where he ran the full length of the ground, it was like he was in the Under 9s, he'd baulk someone, run 30m, baulk someone again, run 20m, and then baulk again."
Over the summer leading into his final school year, Macrae hired a kicking coach, former Carlton premiership player Ian Aitken, to work on his deficiencies.
"I did a bit of work on my ball drop and becoming a more damaging kick," he explains. "In the summer I didn't really do anything other than footy.
"Getting drafted was a priority and even though I wasn't on a lot of clubs radars, I was really keen on getting there."
He quickly did that and produced one of the performances of the U/18 championships, kicking four goals in a quarter to turn the game for Vic Metro against Tasmania.
By the time he led the Chargers to the premiership Macrae was being hailed as top ten material. The Western Bulldogs pounced and also grabbed a schoolmate in Nathan Hrovat at No. 21 in the 2012 draft.
After 13 games in his debut season, the 191cm Macrae — he has grown 3cm since arriving at the Dogs — spent this summer living out of the pocket of new development coach, Geelong's three-time premiership hero Joel Corey.
Corey's best piece of advice?
"Any player can have a good game but the best players do it each week, no matter who the opposition is. That's something I've really taken from him."
While he is confessed footy head who watches as many games as he can on the weekend, the recent hype about his rise doesn't register.
"My little brother likes to tell me after each game how I went in his Supercoach team but I'm not fazed by it all," he says. "I'm a bit embarrassed by it if anything.
"I'm not fussed whether it comes or not, I've just got to please the coaches and my teammates."

Power Amp Construction inspired by Curl, Slone and Pass
Hello Folks,
I have an Adcom GFA 5500 power amp for many years. There is nothing wrong with this beautiful amp. However, after reading many articles written by hi-fi mentors I decide to upgrade this amp with a new circuit.
This circuit is a combination of various legendary ones designed by different gurus.
The input stage utilized JFETs in accordance with Mr. John Curl doctrine: JFETs sound more sophisticate. As JFET has low BVdss (about 30V) cascode is unavoidable. The gain (VAS) stage resembles that of Mr. Randy Slone's Optimos. Although in his original circuit a cascode stage was used, it is substitued by MosFET for simplicity. The output characteristics were similar except the former had a current input while the latter used voltage input. The output stage is Mr. Nelson Pass favaorite. It is comprised of 6 complementary MosFETs pairs connected in parallel.
I have the intention of connecting a resistor across source terminals of the input JFETs but this would violate the super symmetry copyright/patent of Mr. Nelson Pass. Only with his kind permission would this modification be implemented.
This circuit is by no means complete. There are components without values. As I do not own any SPICE software those values will be figured out by trial and error. I need your help to fill in the blanks.
Please feel free to make any suggestions, alterations, modifications or corrections to the circuit.
I anticipate your valuable help.
with kind regards,

Doesn't look like you need much help.

You need to move R17 & R22 to between the output stage and the driver stage, not in the middle of the driver stage....
And you don't really need R8 and R13....
And maybe a temperature compensated bias circuit....
Otherwise it looks simple and good.

Good catch! R17 and R22 should be put between the driver and the output stages. When the Adcom GFA 5500 was reviewed I found that there were 2 sets of +/- supplies. The lower voltage high capacity rails fed the output stage while a slightly higher +/- supply catered the input and driver stages. That is to say R17, R22, R8 and R13 will be removed from the circuit.
Meanwhile, I'm going over R. Slone's Hi-Power Audio Amp Construction Manual. An update to the component values was made in accordance with his designs.
Thanks again for your valuable input.
with kind regards,

Since my proposed circuit was posted I received many inputs from Diyers. The majority of them asked me to replicate famous designs by Mr. Nelson Pass, OptiMos by Mr. R. Slone and to some extent, the JC-xx ot ML-xx by Mr. John Curl. Also submitted were original circuits of some commercial designs. While I admired their one of a kind, outstanding, musical and natural sounding amplifiers I am not going to copy and make them available. As this would offend them, infringe their copyrights and violate their patents. Only if you can obtain the designer's consent shall I put the circuit on to a PCB.

When any power amp circuit is analyzed, it eventually boils down to some fundamental circuits and theories. These building blocks and theories were the ones that we learned from books, high school and college. Engineers and designes would select useful ones and skillfully combined them together to suit their goal. Then the amps were presented to us as commercial products, books and amp circuits along with calculated values. The great site Passdiy.com is a representative of the latter through which Nelson (Papa) brings to us numerous beautiful diy projects. Worth to mentioned are the books 'Audio Power Amp Design Handbook' by Mr. Douglas Self, 'Hi-power Audio Amp Construction Manual' and 'The Audiophiles's Project Sourcebook' by Mr. Randy Slone. Also unforgettable is the Leach Amps by Mr. W. Marshall Leach of Georgia IT. Their designs have become today's mainstream.
I'm not here to promote their publications. Instead, to share some of my previous encounters on building their amp circuits. I started to build them when I was in college. Then my first job provided with me the funds needed to continue my diy journey on more powerful amps. Quest for better amps goes on and on while hurdles show up one after the other.
My first project was built on a proto (or universal) circuit board with pads and holes only. It worked well for simple circuits but as complexity grew soldering had become time consuming and prone to errors. Some of these errors had cost me expensive parts. Many projects were half built and shelved forever as a result. Until recently I made a semi-proto board for my self to reduce the mentioned burdens. These boards are custom made for similar circuitry(s) which share a common goal, such as a power amp. That is to say the board will be designed to accommodate a complex amplifier circuit while a builder can decide which component location to be used or omitted. This idea can be illustrated with a circuit which was drafted over the weekend.
The circuit is a combination of various building blocks such as constant current source, differential (long tail) pair, current mirror, VAS, current limiter and an output stage consisted of complementary MosFets. Please submit your own building block if it is not included in this draft. The circuit may look complicate at first but the builder has the option to select the required block and simply replaced the unused ones with a jumper or leave it blank (such as a capacitor). It also provides you with the flexibility to experiment a simple amp in the beginning and to extend the SAME assembly to more complicated designs down the road.
You may notice that in the input stage are complememtary pairs made up of NPN and PNP transistors. Leave those locations blank and complete the connections with resistors or jumpers as appropriate.
In the negative feedback path are excessive resistors/caps not needed for an actual circuit. They are included for testing purposes. This amp can be tested without an output stage. Once the input and driver stages are test OK the redundant parts can be removed. That may save you the risk of destroying your expensive power MosFets if the assembly is first tested with them connected.
Please feel free to add circuits, blocks that are not displayed in my first draft.
My idea is to make a board that can test and accommodate different amp circuits with similar topologies. With the SAME circuit board you can build simple or complicate amps as you wish.

Very nice idea to use different gurus concept in a single amp.
Good for us who can not decide which layout to use. Maybe to add some Hiraga or JLH flavour too? (kidding)
I can not quite understand why "connecting a resistor across source terminals of the input JFETs" is violating Mr. Pass' su-sy patent? I understood a su-sy concept applies only to a balanced design (two amps in a bridge, as I understand it). Am I wrong with that? Or maybe you already assumed that your circuit will be balanced too?

Referring to schematics in Post #1:
The J175 is rather noisy. I would just use 2SK170 / 2SJ74 as everyone else, and they are still available in tens of thousands.
For cascoding, you can of course use BJT as shown, but you may also consider using J111/J174 a la Borbely. I have used that very effectively and it makes the circuit much simpler. Here the somewhat higher noise of the J174 does not affect the final output so directly.
For the output stage, you really want to use truely complementary devices, so I would use 2SK1530/2SJ201 there any time. Again they are still available in thousands. There are other devices I might consider, such as UHC Mosfets, but they require thermal compensation, so a bit more complicated.
And since I have suggested Toshiba devices for 2 stages out of three, we might of course also replace the IRF610/9610 with 2SK2013/2SJ313, to complete the (Japanese) landscape.
Have not attempted to change your topology. There is no need to.

I agree with you that the J1xx Fets can be noisy as they are designed for switching circuits. I am going to use 2SJ102/2Sk246 instead.
I'm also concerned at the gm of the input Fet at high frequency, when the inter-electrode cap of the following MosFet became significant. Any suggestion?

I buy a bunch of just ripe bananas once a month and they never spoil the entire month or until I use them all. My secret for keeping them fresh? The moment I bring them home from the market, I peel them, slice them coin-style, place them in a freezer bag, and chuck them into the freezer. I thaw as much as I need for shakes, deserts and such, or eat them frozen which are really yummy and if you're lactose intolerant like me, they are an alternative to ice cream. This is a money saver and lasts for what seems like forever.

That sounds like a great idea. They would be good dipped in chocolate, also. Frozen bananas do taste like ice cream.
I buy the bananas that no one will buy. They have brown spots and are usually soft. I take them home and freeze them in a zip loc bag as is and when I get a craving for banana bread I just take out a few and thaw them. I cut the tip off and squeeze the banana into my mixing bowl and make my banana bread. I've always got a stash of bananas for banana bread.
yes frozen babanas are just yummy and they do tastes great with chocolate syrup. I love ice cream but its just not worth the stomach ache I get from eating it and where I live the lactose free brand is very expensive because its Breyers and so its imported. Whenever I want an ice cream treat I cover the bottom of a small microwavable bowl with chocolate syrup and pour pureed bananas over it and freeze it and its just a cool alternative to ice cream really. Enjoy!
I love the frozen banana idea. Never
knew it resembled ice cream and will definitely
try it! Especially with summer coming. Thanks
for the great ideas!
I slice a banana, freeze it, and then make a smoothie using the frozen banana slices, chocolate soy milk, and honey.

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New types of dragons are added regularly!
Ultraviolet Dragons are a heat-loving breed that are most commonly found in hot, arid environments. These hardy dragons are omnivorous and will eat both plant and animal matter, even species with thorny physical defenses such as cacti. They are generally peaceful and often quite friendly, but males will become aggressive and cantankerous during the breeding season. Intense fights take place over females, sometimes resulting in injury for both combatants.
Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

The Netherlands international feels the Nerazzurri can go for the title, while adding that their Milan rivals will also be in the running for the Scudetto
The Dutchman has admitted that the reigning champions are the favourites, but believes that Inter have the quality to beat them this term after a disappointing 2011-12 campaign.
"I do not think that Juventus are stronger than Inter or any of the other teams. We can beat them," Sneijder said to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"It might look like Milan have fallen apart, but they always have great players. And then there are teams like Napoli and Roma in the race for the Scudetto as well.
"It is going to be a long and hard season for all of us. Juventus are the reigning champions and the favourites, but we can definitely beat them."
The attacking midfielder then stated that he would like to be Inter captain in the future, but admitted that he's unlikely to wear the armband anytime soon as Javier Zanetti is still going strong, while adding that he could finish his career in the MLS.
"The captaincy? If only, but Zanetti will play on until he is 60...
"If my wife continues to be an actress, the MLS might be an idea. But not at this point. I want to stay at Inter. I have never thought about leaving Inter. I like the team, the city and the club.
"As a minimum I want to stay until the end of my contract."
Inter have collected three points from their opening two Serie A games.

Someone Got Stabbed at the Cattle Decapitation Show Last Night
Cattle Decapitation performing at Mirror Image Studios ...no one got stabbed at that show
Alex Distefano
Cattle Decapitation might be considered the vegan masters of deathgrind, but that doesn't stop their head banging fans from going out for each other's blood from time to time.
Two men were hospitalized after a fight at the band's show at 13th Frame Lounge in La Habra last night, authorities say. One victim suffered a superficial stab wound to the neck, and the other was knocked unconscious in a fight that started around 11:30 p.m. The incident started in the lounge and eventually spilled out into the street, La Habra Police Department Sgt. Ron Hurst says. About 150 people showed up to the gig. A knife was also recovered by authorities at the scene.
Bystander Valerie Zerby, 30, of Placentia says the fight actually started between a man and woman who were arguing near the mosh pit during the show. According to Zerby, the woman in the fight threw the first punch before the man retaliated. That's when things in the crowd went from rowdy mosh pit to a full-blown fracas.
"He punched her back and then everybody jumped on him," Zerby says.

Zerby was also standing next to the man who was stabbed before he got involved in the fight. When he came out of the scuffle he had a laceration on his neck and was gushing blood.
"The next thing you know this guy comes back over to where I was and says 'dude I got stabbed, I got stabbed!'" says Zerby. "I told the bartenders to call 911...no one did anything."
Authorities showed up about 10 minutes later and the gig was cut short (pardon the pun).
The show had been set up by Doll Hut owner Mac McGarvey who was not at the venue at the time of the stabbing. Though the night ended in chaos, Zerby says it's sad that a fight started by a couple people could have potentially ruined a good thing for McGarvey and 13th Frame, who hosts many of his shows there when he's not booking the Hut.
"It sucks because people are always trying to say we don't have local music and here we have a guy like Mac trying to put on shows like this one and people just ruin it."
Luckily, no actual decapitations occurred during the brawl. Reports say both men were treated for the injuries at an area hospital.
Here's a video of last night's show. Though you can't see the stabbing, the band does get asked to end their set early. And of course the last compassionate quote from someone in the audience: "Fuck that guy who got stabbed in the throat!"

Afghan dam project in peril
Player utilities
Listen to the Story.
Skip to content
Kajaki Dam project in Southern Afghanistan is a symbol of US involvement in the country going back to the 1950s. In recent years, the project has been a priority for international development efforts, but the Taliban insurgency has put the success of the dam at risk. Washington's foreign aid agency USAID has now put the Kajaki project on hold amid security concerns. Matthew Bell has the story.
MARCO WERMAN: Helmand province in southern Afghanistan is a hotbed of the Taliban insurgency. It's also the site of a multi-million dollar hydroelectric power project. Recently the U.S. Foreign Aid Agency, USAID said it is putting the project on hold indefinitely because of a lack of security. As the World's Matthew Bell reports, the United States has a long history with this particular project.
MATTHEW BELL: The first American president to talk about giving development aid to Afghanistan to strength American security was not George W. Bush. It was under Harry Truman that U.S. engineers launched an ambitious plan to build the Kajakai Dam in southern Afghanistan. Work on the massive project continued from the 1950s through the 70s. It was a success in many ways says Thomas Gouttierre of the University of Nebraska. Gouttierre spent 10 years living and working in Afghanistan, beginning in the early 1960s. He says the damming of the Helmand river valley vastly improved agriculture and it also provided electricity to the whole region.
THOMAS GOUTTIERRE: The third major contribution is that the projects, and there were several of them that were all interwoven, employed Afghans.
MATTHEW BELL: Gouttierre says tens of thousands of Afghans worked on the U.S. funded dam project. They used it as a job training opportunity. He adds that Helmand's prosperity helped Afghanistan become a net exporter of fruits and grains. But in 1979, that ended with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the years of civil wars that followed. After the U.S. and its allies toppled the Taliban, they decided to revive the Kajakai Dam project. Thomas Gouttierre says it made perfect sense.
THOMAS GOUTTIERRE: To be able to re-start the agricultural capacity, the electric grids and power would have an exceedingly positive impact on the economy of individuals throughout that
region. Again, Afghanistan is going through its worst depression in its history. Up to 70% of the population of Helmand Valley is unemployed.
MATTHEW BELL: That has fueled both the opium trade and the insurgency. Fifteen months ago, NATO troops delivered a giant hydroelectric turbine to the Kajakai Dam. It was a major security operation but since then, the main road leading to the dam has been a frequent Taliban target. U.S. officials have now decided to postpone installing the turbine because of security concerns. Afghanistan expert Andrew Wilder of Tufts University says it's a public relations failure. Wilder says the dam project is also an example of how the U.S. and its western allies are trying to use development aid to achieve security objectives and it's not working very well.
ANDREW WILDER: This dam is in a way a good example of that. It probably didn't make sense to invest a whole lot in rehabilitating it in the middle of a war situation but it was done. There was a major aspect of we can use this to help win hearts and minds in the conflict in southern Afghanistan.
MATTHEW BELL: Wilder says it's not that the Kajakai Dam along with the host of other western funded aid projects is a bad idea.
ANDREW WILDER: Afghanistan clearly has major needs for more power generation. I think it would be a good idea to be investing in power generation, more roads, schools, and clinics. My only point is that there's not a lot of evidence that doing that is actually going to help defeat the insurgency because the insurgency is largely being driven by other factors, not primarily by a lack of infrastructure, roads, schools, or clinics.
MATTHEW BELL: The new priority for U.S. and NATO forces in the Helmand Valley will be to secure the major population centers, which means holding off on projects like the Kajakai Dam. For the World, I'm Matthew Bell.

Delineate the role of teachers as teachers; not as armed guards.
We need to create a national dialogue that aims to affect the foundational, systemic issues perpetuating gun violence in this country, not expect that teachers and other professionals carry weapons; effectively placing an inappropriate responsibility on the victims.

If this video wasn't so funny, it would be sad! An 18-year-old Penelope Soto from Miami was in bond court accused of possession of Xanax bars.
She totally upset the judge during questioning by her giggling and flippant attitude. Circuit Judge Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat told her, "We're not in a club, be serious about it." Soto said she was being serious.
When asked if she was under influence, she stroked her hair repeatedly, looking quite dubiously smug and replied, "Actually, no."
The judge ordered her held on $5,000 bond. Receiving her verdict she sauntered away calling out a jaunty "Adios."
Judge Jorge, clearly offended, asked her to come back and increased her bond to $10,000. This obviously put Soto in a bad mood; she stopped giggling and became quite serious and flipped off the judge as she walked away.
She was asked to come back again and asked, "Did you tell me to *&^%& off?"
"Yes sir,"came the reply and promptly landed her in a bigger hole than she had already dug for herself. The judge ordered her held in contempt of court and to be sentenced for 30 days in the county jail.

This is the third monograph that AV devotes to Herzog & de Meuron. The first one was published in 1999, and dealt with the career of the Swiss since their beginnings in the now mythical Basel carnival of 1978, and up to the Ricola Marketing Building, a project developed in 1997 that was a turning point in their career. The second monograph appeared in 2005, and went from Munich's Fünf Höfe to the Allianz Arena, then just completed in the same city, as well as the Beijing Olympic Stadium, under construction at the time. The latter was wrapped up in 2007, in time for the Games the following year, and this occasion prompted the edition of a book - Herzog & de Meuron 1978-2007 - which summed up thirty years of work in fifty projects, divided into two groups of twenty-five by the aforementioned Ricola, and whose content proceeded mostly from the two previous monographs.
Unlike the previous ones, this third monograph includes urban projects, which have always been present in their theoretical production – from the 1991-1992 'Eine Stadt im Werden' urban study for their home town to the many projects with the students of ETH Basel –, but have taken physical form only now, with the Burgos Boulevard and the Lyon Confluence plan. In the two cities, Herzog & de Meuron propose alternatives to contemporary urbanism that, leaving behind the withered dogmas of 20th century modernity, depart both from a nostalgic traditionalism anchored in the traces of the 19th century and from the formalist spectacle that seeks 21st century urbanity in sculptural gestures. These are proposals that deserve to be discussed, without letting their refreshing approach go unnoticed among the usual crop of exquisite objects.

As expected, Mizz Zee 卡门 has posed for this Christmas! And it was a surprising nude photo shoot, despite the fact that Mizz Zee has seldom taken nude photos. It must be a new challenge for a new year. As we've introduced this rare Chinese model before, Mizz Zee used to be an alternative model posing for alternative rock and dark arts such as metaphysical and gothic.
More Photos Of Mizz Zee Can Be Found At: Red Flava Gallery
However, Mizz Zee has sadly said goodbye to dark arts due to her change in styles. This hot model is now more into mainstream photo shoots like Zhang Wan You's lingerie shoots and Juliet Lin Ke Tong's modern fashion shoots. Still, we're glad to know Mizz Zee has grown up according to her own words.
Speaking of this new Christmas photo shoot, Mizz Zee's eyes look huge, don't they? Most of the responses to these photos on Mizz Zee's MOKO page were about her massive eyes. It was either because of the contact lenses Mizz Zee was using or due to the photoshop editing. If you're interested in Mizz Zee, read more about this unusual Chinese babe here.

Best tradesman I have ever used. High quality work, wonderful finishes - after the first job we continued to hire him for more work in the house and also around our estate. There is nothing that he cannot do - superb! Would strongly recommend
Great customer service, competitive price and an amazing standard. Would not hesitate to use again and would recommend to others without a doubt. Happy to provide pictures of the great job completed if anyone would like them. Many thanks Jamie and team!
An excellent job, very impressed with the finish and would definitely recommend them.
Turned up on time, finished quickly and left everything tidy.Would recommend.
We hired Hassan to do a tidy up job in a spare room. We have now found our 'go-to' guy for all things DIY related! He is reliable, friendly, knowledgeable, professional and very trustworthy. We felt comfortable leaving him with a spare key after knowing him just couple of days. I would have no problems recommending Hassan for all kinds of structural or decorative work. In fact he is currently quoting for a job next door! He has got a great knowledge of interior design and is a bit of a perfectionist!
Wow, this guy was fantastic. Reliable, punctual, polite and really knows his stuff. Def. have him back again. I posted the job on Rated people at 14.00 Wed, he priced the job 18.00 when I got home from work, started at 9.00 Thur and finished exactly as he said. Plus had some plaster left so gave it 3 coats instead of the usual 2. A totally welcome stressfree experience.

Counting Sri Lanka's war dead
Sri Lanka has started the arduous task of counting the victims of its 26-year civil war.
Last year, a smaller survey of the battle-affected northern villages concluded that 8,000 people were killed while another 6,350 had gone missing
The UN and other human rights groups have argued this figure is probably closer to 80,000 and as high as 100,000, and numerous countries have called for a more comprehensive census.
The President Mahinda Rajapaksa says that will now take place, but without international supervision.
