Wow, what a crazy wedding entrance dance this is, each bridesmaid and groomsman had their own theme music, props, signs, and a smoke machine was used. The Groomsmen wore sneakers with their tuxedos and some of the bridesmaids had boots on. The couple Aaron and Teri sure broke the mold with this wedding entrance. The wedding date was March 28, 2009.

William Randolph Hearst, Jr., (born Jan. 27, 1908, New York, N.Y.—died May 14, 1993, New York), U.S. journalist and newspaper proprietor who shared a 1956 Pulitzer Prize for international reporting shortly after being named editor in chief of the Hearst Corp. The privately held company had been built into a media empire by William Randolph Hearst, Sr., the flamboyant press baron. The younger Hearst, the second of five sons, spent two years at the University of California at Berkeley before joining the New York American as a police reporter. He was named publisher of the paper in 1936, the year before the Hearst paper became the Journal-American after a merger. During World War II, when Hearst was serving as a war correspondent in Europe and North Africa, he reportedly was told by his father, who was also his editor, to stop reporting on bombing missions until he had flown one. He did so, and he continued to seek the approval of his father, with whom he shared a fervent anticommunist stance. After his father died in 1951, Hearst headed a 17-man editorial committee to unravel the affairs of the chain of 18 newspapers, including the flagship San Francisco Examiner, and 11 magazines. As editor in chief, Hearst helped revitalize the business and scored a personal coup when he, Frank Conniff, and Kingsbury Smith secured a series of revealing interviews with four politicians in Moscow and published a series of eight articles that rightly predicted that Nikita Khrushchev would become the next leader of the Soviet Union. The series earned the trio Pulitzer Prizes. Hearst, who for 40 years wrote a politically conservative editorial column for the chain, steadfastly championed Sen. Joseph McCarthy and his 1950s communist witch-hunts. Hearst's name was also identified with that of his niece Patty, who, after being abducted by the Symbionese Liberation Army in 1974, helped them rob a bank; she was then incarcerated for seven years. In 1991 Hearst published The Hearsts: Father and Son, in which he acknowledged that his own career had been overshadowed by that of his father.

I have written before about the changing face of environmentalism. A perfect example of a new form of environmental irony played out in Peru.
Greenpeace activists, looking to make their message loud and clear, desecrated an ancient heritage site called the Nazca Lines. The lines have existed in a pristine state since their origin, sometime between 400 and 650 AD.
The Curse of Environmental Irony
No one treads on these lines. Yet, the activists walked on and placed a banner with their message in the name of their cause. Talk about environmental irony.
If one assumes that true environmentalism involves preservation of the Earth, where does violating an irreplaceable and some would say, sacred site fit in? Greenpeace isn't alone in this blatant example of environmental irony.
It's evident, ironically enough, within the very cause they seek to promote, renewable energy. First off, I support use of renewable energy and nuclear power. I think huge logistic problems exist with renewables that compromises their wide spread application.
Unintended Consequences
You can't escape the reality of rare earth acquisition. You'll find them in hybrid cars, wind turbines, and even your iPhone. However, obtaining them causes catastrophic environmental destruction. Mining produces toxic waste products that persist in the environment. We're talking some really nasty stuff, like cyanide, arsenic, and mercury.
The great environmental irony lies in the fact that to "solve" one problem [climate change], you have to create another [toxic waste]. The same can be said of solar and wind power, both which cause loss of wildlife. Wasn't saving wildlife a part of that earlier definition of environmentalism and saving the Earth?
No One Solution
The complexities of environmental issues and their proposed solutions underscores the need for research, discussion, and a break from biases, like confirmation bias and what I call the silver bullet bias. In the latter, one believes that one and only one solution exists for a problem, a lá silver bullet. Would that it were so!
There is no one solution to solve many of our most challenging environmental issues, including climate change. Just as complex are the problems, so too are the solutions. It's too simplistic to say that the future is renewable. It's not.
Think for a moment of all the by-products of fossils fuels. If you use nail polish, deodorant, aspirin, or detergent while blasting fossil fuels, you are a hypocrite. It's like a vegetarian who dislikes the treatment of livestock wearing leather shoes. It's the plethora of by-products that makes a solution like renewables uninformed. The last thing that the climate change cause now needs is ignorance.
The solutions is solutions, working together and looking out for all of the stakeholders. No one promised an easy fix. But desecrating sacred lands is not part of the mix.

Synths can make perfect sounds…but is that always a perfect solution?
by Craig Anderton
Recording a virtual instrument is simple…you just insert it, hit a few keys, and mix it in with the other tracks. Right?
Well…no. Synthesizers are musical instruments, and you wouldn't mic a drum set by taking the first mic you found and pointing it the general direction of the drummer, nor would you record an electric guitar by just plugging it into a mixing console. A little extra effort spent on avoiding an unnatural sound when mixing synths with acoustic instruments, improving expressiveness, tightening timing inconsistencies, and other issues can help you get the most out of your virtual instruments.
But first, remember that "rules" were made to be broken. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to record, only ways that satisfy you to a greater or lesser degree. Sometimes doing the exact opposite of what's expected gives the best results. So take the following as suggestions, not rules, that may be just what the doctor ordered when you want to spice up an otherwise ordinary synth sound.
The paramount aspect of recording a synth is to define the desired results as completely as possible. Using synths to reinforce guitars on a heavy metal track is a completely different musical task from creating a all-synthesized 30-second spot. Sometimes you want synths to sound warm and organic, but if you're doing techno, you'll probably want a robot, machine-like vibe (with trance music, you might want to combine both possibilities).
So, analyze your synth's "sonic signature"—is it bright, dark, gritty, clean, warm, metallic, or…? Whereas some people attach value judgements to these different characteristics, veteran synthesists understand that different synthesizers have different general sound qualities, and choose the right sound for the right application. For example, although Cakewalk's Z3TA+ is highly versatile, to my ears its natural "character" is defined, present, and detailed.
Regarding sonic signatures, perhaps one of the reasons for a resurgence in analog synths sounds is digital recording. Analog synths tended to use low-pass filters that lacked the "edgy" sound of digital sound generation. Recording the darker analog sounds on analog tape sometimes resulted in a muddy sound; but when recording on digital, analog sounded comparatively sweet. Digital also captured all the little hisses, grunts, and burps that characterized analog synths. This is a case where the "imperfections" of analog and the "perfection" of digital recording complemented each other.
Another thought: look at guitars, voices, pianos, etc. on a spectrum analyzer, and you'll note there is little natural high end. If you're trying to blend a virtual instrument in with physical instruments, remember that a virtual synth has no problems obtaining a solid high end. Using the ProChannel's LP filter set to 48dB/octave and lowering the frequency just a little bit can introduce the "imperfection" that matches the spectral characteristics of "real" acoustic and electric instruments more closely, so the synth seems to blend in better with the other tracks (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1: The ProChannel QuadCurve EQ's lowpass filter can help digital synths sit better in tracks that use multiple physical or acoustic instruments. Continue reading Recording Virtual Synthesizers: The Art of Imperfection

This text is intended for microprocessor courses at the undergraduate level in technology, engineering, and computer science. Now in its third edition, it provides a comprehensive treatment of the microprocessor, covering both hardware and software based on the Z80 microprocessor family.This edition preserves the focus of the earlier editions and includes the following changes: * Chapters have been revised to include the most recent technological changes in 32- and 64-bit microprocessors and 8-bit microcontrollers. * Several illustrative programs have been added throughout the text. * Complete data sheets for the LM 135 temperature sensor and LCD panel, and a complete list of Z80 instructions with machine cycles, T-states, and flags are included in the Appendixes. * Appendix G, which contains answers to selected questions, has been added.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This book provides comprehensive coverage of the Z80 microprocessor, carefully integrating hardware and software topics with practical laboratory exercises.From the Inside Flap:
This microprocessor textbook, now in its third edition, has been in the field for twelve years. It is gratifying to see such acceptance of the integrated approach to teaching basic microprocessor concepts. This text is intended for microprocessor courses at the undergraduate level in technology, engineering, and computer science. It is a comprehensive treatment of the microprocessor, covering both hardware and software based on the Z80 microprocessor family. Although a course in digital logic is a prerequisite, it does not assume a background in programming. At the outset, I would like to respond to the following questions generally raised in academic circles.
1. In the 2000s, is an 8-bit microprocessor an appropriate device for teaching microprocessor concepts? If we consider the worldwide sales volume of microprocessor chips, the answer is a resounding yes; 8-bit microprocessors (including single-chip microcontrollers) account for more than 90% of the total sales. This question can be better answered by an analogy from the auto industry. For transportation, we have trucks, sports cars, family cars, and compact cars. Each serves a different purpose. The 8-bit microprocessors have already established their market in the areas of industrial control, such as machine control, process control, instrumentation, and consumer appliances. The 32-bit microprocessors are used primarily in computers; they are so powerful that their applications are better suited in such areas as high-speed data processing, CAD/CAM, multi-tasking, and multi-user systems. The 32-bit microprocessors are less likely to replace 8-bit microprocessors in industrial control applications. In many applications, even 8-bit microprocessors are utilized at less than 50% of their capacity. The microprocessor is no longer a novelty to be discussed in elective courses; it has become a fundamental device to be taught in electrical, computer engineering, and technology fields. The basic concepts of architecture, programming, and interfacing are easier to teach with the 8-bit than with larger microprocessors.
2. Why teach Z80? This question has several answers. One is that the Z80 is one of the widely used general-purpose microprocessors in industrial applications. It has a simple architecture and a powerful instruction set that includes the 8085 instruction set (except for two instructions). The Z80 mnemonics are logical and easy to learn. The instruction set includes many powerful concepts of 16-bit microprocessors. In addition, there appears to be a resurgence of interest in the Z80, indicated by the introduction of Z80-compatible microprocessors by major manufacturers such as Hitachi and Toshiba. It is being used as an embedded controller in applications such as TI calculators and home appliances (coffee machines and washers/dryers).
The microprocessor is a general purpose programmable logic device. A thorough understanding of the microprocessor demands concepts and skills from two different disciplines: hardware concepts from electronics and programming skills from computer science. Hardware is the physical structure of the microprocessor; programming makes it function—one without the other is meaningless. Therefore, in this text, the contents are presented with an integrated approach to hardware and software in the context of the Z80 microprocessor. The third edition preserves the same focus of earlier editions and includes additions suggested by reviewers and by faculty users. Organization of the Text
Part I introduces a microprocessor-based system, the Microprocessor-Controlled Temperature System (MCTS), and focuses on microprocessor architecture and interfacing. When appropriate, each chapter refers and illustrates relevant subsystems of the MCTS. Part II introduces programming; Part III integrates the hardware and software concepts from earlier sections and illustrates interface and design of microprocessor-based products. The design of the MCTS is used to synthesize the concepts discussed throughout the text. Each topic is covered in depth, from basic concepts to industrial applications, and illustrated by numerous examples with complete schematics. Material is supported with assignments having practical applications.
Part I consists of five chapters, presented with the spiral approach, that deal with the hardware aspects of the microcomputer as a system. The material is presented in a format analogous to the view from an airplane that is getting ready to land. As the plane circles, the passenger observes a view without details. As the plane descends, the same view is seen with more details. This approach is preferable because students need to use a microcomputer as a system in their laboratory work in the early stages of a course, before understanding all aspects of the system. Chapter 1 presents an overview of microprocessor-based systems. It presents the 8-bit microprocessor as a programmable device and an embedded controller, rather than as a computing device or CPU used in computers. Chapter 2 develops a generalized model of the microprocessor unit and focuses on the basic concepts related to memory and input/output (I/O). Chapter 3 examines the Z80 microprocessor in the context of the hardware and software models developed in Chapter 2. Chapters 4 and 5 are concerned with basic concepts in interfacing memory and 1/O, respectively.
Part II has six chapters that deal with Z80 instructions, programming techniques, program development, and software development systems. Chapters 6 and 7 are general in nature and introduce assembly language programming and assemblers. Chapter 6 includes the detailed programming model of the Z80 microprocessor. This will enable faculty members to teach programming independently of Part I. Because of easy access to personal computers on college campuses, I have emphasized the use of assemblers to assemble programs. Except for the addition of end-of-chapter questions, the remaining chapters include few content changes. Chapters 8 through 11 present a step-by-step format; a few instructions that can perform a simple task are selected. Each instruction is reviewed briefly by referring to the instruction set in the appendix. These instructions are then used in writing programs with explanations of programming techniques and troubleshooting hints. Each illustrative program begins with a problem statement, provides the analysis of the problem, illustrates the program, and explains the programming steps. These chapters conclude by reviewing all the instructions discussed. The contents in Part Il are presented in such a way that, in a course with heavy emphasis on hardware, students can teach themselves assembly language programming if necessary.
Part III synthesizes the hardware concepts presented in Part I and the software techniques in Part II. It deals with advanced topics in interfacing memory and I/Os with numerous industrial and practical examples. Each illustration analyzes the hardware and includes software, and describes how hardware and software work together to accomplish given objectives. Chapters 12 through 16 include various types of data transfer between the microprocessor and its peripherals, such as interrupts, interfacing of dynamic memory, I/O with handshake signals using programmable devices, and serial 1/O. Chapter 17 has been substantially revised: the project which brings together all the concepts discussed in the text has been changed from the IC Tester to the Microprocessor-Controlled Temperature System (MOTS). Chapter 18 has been updated to include the latest 32and 64-bit microprocessors, such as the Intel Pentium, and microcontrollers, such as Motorola 68HC 11 and PIC family. Finally, the text includes two appendices related to the instruction set. Appendix A includes the complete set of Z80 instructions explained with illustrative examples in alphabetical order so that students can easily access the instruction set with a complete explanation of each item. Appendix E has been updated to include additional data sheets for temperature sensors and LCDs. Appendix F summarizes all the instructions with flag i4formation for quick reference when writing programs. New and Improved Features in the Third Edition
The third edition includes the following changes and additions.
Chapter 1 is revised to include the most recent technological changes and introduces a block diagram of the Microprocessor-Controlled Temperature System (MCTS). Chapter 4, Memory Interfacing, illustrates the memory design of the MCTS project. Chapter 5, I/O Interfacing, illustrates the necessary input and output devices and their interfacing for the MOTS project. Part II (Chapters 6 through 11) has several additional illustrative programs. Chapter 7 is revised to include technological changes, and Chapter 8 includes a detailed discussion on flowcharts and flags. Chapter 9 includes a program called `Sort,' which arranges data either in ascending or descending order. Chapter 13 includes an additional illustration, Interfacing a Liquid Crystal Display, which has become a popular display device in industrial systems. Chapter 17 synthesizes the hardware and software concepts discussed in earlier chapters by illustrating the design of the MOTS project. Chapter 18 is updated to include the latest technological changes in 32- and 64-bit microprocessors and 8-bit microcontrollers. In Appendix E, complete data sheets for the LM 135 Temperature Sensor and an LCD panel are included. Appendix F includes a complete list of Z80 instructions with machine cycles, T -states, and flags. A new appendix G includes answers to selected problems. A Word to Faculty
The first edition was based on my teaching experience, my course development efforts, and my association with industry engineers and programmers. It was an attempt to share my classroom experiences and my observations of industrial practices. My assumptions and observations of twelve years ago, outlined in the preface of the first edition, appear to be valid today. They were as follows:
It is easier to teach microprocessor concepts with an 8-bit microprocessor than with a 16-bit microprocessor. Because of easy accessibility on college campuses to personal computers, they can be used to develop programs using cross assemblers. Software (instructions) is an integral part of the microprocessor and demands an emphasis equal to that of hardware. In industry, for the development of microprocessor-based projects, 70 percent of the efforts are devoted to software and 30 percent to hardware. Technology and engineering students tend to be oriented toward hardware and have considerable difficulty in programming. Students have difficulty understanding mnemonics and realizing the critical importance of flags.
This text meets the objectives of courses with various emphases at the undergraduate level. For a one-semester course with equal emphasis on hardware and software, the following chapters are recommended: Chapters 1 through 5 for hardware and interfacing lectures; and Chapters 6 through 10 and selected sections of Chapter 11 for software laboratory sessions. For additional interfacing concepts, the initial sections of Chapters 12, 13, and 15 (introduction to interrupts, programmable 1/O devices, and serial I/O) are recommended. If the course is heavily oriented toward hardware, Chapters 1 through 5 and Chapters 12 through 16 are recommended, and necessary programs can be selected from Chapters 6 through 10. Interfacing laboratory sessions can be designed around the illustrations within chapters or assignments given at the end of the chapters. If the course is heavily oriented toward software, Chapters 1 through 3 and Chapters 6 through 11 can be used. For a two-semester course, the entire text can be covered. The instructor's manual includes a course design, suggested weekly lecture and laboratory schedule, solutions, and selected figures for transparencies.
My courses have evolved since 1988, when the first edition was published. I now use an assembler and a simulator three weeks into a semester. We spend more dime examining the flag register to observe how flags are affected, and we devote several laboratory periods to examining the relationships between instructions and waveforms on the oscilloscope.
In the last twelve years, numerous faculty members shared their classroom experiences, concerns, and students difficulties with me through letters and e-mail. They made valuable suggestions for programming problems and interfacing projects. I have made every effort to incorporate those concerns and suggestions in the third edition. I appreciate any communication about the text, so please feel free to write or send an e-mail message. A Word to Students
The microprocessor is part of an exciting, challenging, and growing field; it will pervade industry for decades to come. To meet the challenges of this growing technology, you will need to be well conversant with the programmable aspect of the microprocessor. Programming is a process of problem solving and communication in a strange language of mnemonics. Most often, hardware-oriented students find this communication process very difficult. One of the questions frequently asked by a student is, "How do I get started in a programming assignment?" One approach is to examine various types of programs and imitate them. Begin by studying the illustrative program relevant to an assignment, its flowchart, analysis, and program description, particularly the comments. Read the instructions from Appendix A as necessary and pay attention to the flags. This text is written in such a way that simple programming of the microprocessor can be self-taught. Once you master the elementary programming techniques, interfacing and design become exciting and fun. Acknowledgments
For all the efforts behind this third edition, I express my sincere appreciation to my family: my wife, Shaila, for her unwavering support, and my daughters, Nelima and Vanita, for their enthusiasm for my writing activities. I also thank all the faculty members who provided valuable comments and suggestions and the reviewers of this edition: Robert Kenyon, Ohio Technical College; Dan Merkel, Milwaukee Area Technical College; Michael Morse, University of San Diego; Roger Off, Ohio Technical College; and Charles Ryasko, Mt. San Antonio College.
The MCTS project illustrated on this text was a course project. My special thanks to one of my outstanding students, David Reynolds, for his excellent work on this project.
I also thank the Prentice Hall staff, particularly my editor, Charles Stewart, and production editor Alex Wolf.

There are toilets in the centre during opening times but other than that no facilities. If you like bird watching this time of year the centre is full of birds over wintering here. Lots of Swans and Geese and other wild fowl can be seen from comfortable heated viewing hides

My Kind Of Clown by SailorPhantomWatch
©2008-2017 SailorPhantom
So I saw Dark Knight Wensday and again today. I LOVE IT! Joker is so awesome. Heath Ledger(RIP) did an amazing job and my love for the Joker has been rekindled. ^_^ Even as a kid I have been a fan of the Joker. So I found this Joker wallpaper by along with many others and pics of him. Can you tell I REALLY like him. ^////^ I'll stop blabbing on about him until I finally get a good looking fanart of him up.
Great composition.
yes going to see this movie when i can
i heard that movie was good, but my family went to the theatres and it was sold out! so we watched Hancock instead
I haven't seen the Joker yet. But already I feel a morbid and shadowy interest in him... Bwahahaha!
No, Really. I like him ^^
No, Really. I like him ^^
I know what you mean, when I was little I watch the cartoon, and I loved the Joker quite a lot.
He's just so awesome! Guy always smiles and plays gags on people... sure he's a crazy murder, but he's so AWESOME!
I always thought of the irony, considering his pranks and jokes killed people. How bout a Magic trick? *pencil go 'oof!'(actually more like 'squish' )
Yeah. The "magic trick" really shows how crazy he is, and funny.
Yeah there was a twisted sort of funny about him.
When he blew up the hospital though, that was so funny. He kept pressing the button.
I loved the "I just want my phone call."
The thing with e Two-Face thing was, you wanted to see his face reeeeeeaaaally badly, then when he turned you were like, "Oh my God! Turn aroud, TURN AROUND!" kinda like Erik.
The thing with e Two-Face thing was, you wanted to see his face reeeeeeaaaally badly, then when he turned you were like, "Oh my God! Turn aroud, TURN AROUND!" kinda like Erik.
I didn't see it TT^TT I would've gone with my dad if I wasn't sick at the time Still, I love the Joker cause he creaped me out just by seeing the trailer That's a good point for me. But it's such a shame that Heath Ledger had to die! HE WOULD'VE DONE GREAT THINGS IN MOVIES!!!! At least he'll get an award (so I've heard )

Since launching last November, our app has been installed on mobile phones and tablets almost 1,000 times, and our course content is accessed hundreds of times a month. We're thrilled about these numbers, since they are great indicators of potential for a local Christian community to form in Ajax.
Our next step was to begin hosting some community-building events to assess our users' interest in face-to-face gatherings, and to connect with new people. On Sept. 27, Redeem the Commute hosted a free Outdoor Family Movie Night at Lakeside Amphitheatre on the Ajax waterfront, surrounded by commuting households. The event offered scattered mobile users a chance to gather and meet other members of Redeem the Commute's online community. It was also an opportunity for Redeemer to share what it does with an entire neighbourhood.
The team of volunteers expected about 100 people to attend, and had popcorn donated from the local theatre to feed 200, just in case people were hungry. By the end of the evening, almost 400 people came out. Admission was free, and we collected hundreds of non-perishable food items for a local foodbank whose staff lit up with joy when the saw such a big delivery.
Everyone who came enjoyed a great movie, free popcorn, cheap refreshments and learned what Redeem the Commute is all about from a short video before the film began, and while meeting the snack bar volunteers. Movie-goers donated hundreds of items for the local foodbank. The leadership team heard great reviews of the evening, both in person and on social media. "We hope they do this next year!" wrote one, while another wrote, "We've lived here 11 years and never seen this amphitheatre used. Thanks!"
Our favourite quote was when a child asked his father why we'd give such a generous gift when if we'd just charged $2 per person, we could have "made a lot of money." His father's response, "I don't think they're interested in our money" showed that the event had communicated something very important about our values as a missional Christian community.
This event was worth every dollar we spent, and if you agree, we'd love your help! We've already had personal and business sponsors cover around 50% of the evening's costs, and the rest has come from our hospitality budget. But with a gift of $100, or any donation, you will help offset the costs of advertising, film rights, equipment rental and more and can give us the confidence to make this an annual event.
Can you help? Click here to make a financial gift, and email Ryan if you can help in other ways, or you have specific requests.

By The Beauty Hub | October 7th, 2013 | Brands,News
It is Christmas time with Karine Dubreuil, perfumer for L'Occitane who tells of two scents that have been created around the town of her childhood during Christmas time.
Fleur D'Or & Acacia Eau de Toilette for woman is infused with mimosa which brings a natural, tender touch that makes the scent almost addictive. An accord of mimosa absolute and acacia evokes that moment when the first trees come into blossom, and that orangey glow of the December light. This tender and enveloping repertoire conjures up sweet memories within the unusual depths of musk and white wood.
To compliment the fragrance, the range includes a luminous oil, shower gel, body milk, hand cream, perfumed soap and scented candle.
Cedre & Oranger Eau de Toilette for men is a fragrance that makes perfect sense, arriving just in time to gather the first fruits of the year: bergamot and orange from Italy. Mischievous orange, still tinged with green, awakens an accord that would be dominated by woody notes of Virginian cedar – were it not for the presence of the fruit. The surge of citrus is immediately softened by sweet scents of musk.
To compliment the fragrance, the range includes a shower gel, after shave balm and perfumed soap.
The L'Occitane collection is available across stores starting from the 3rd November 2013.

...to conquer all of me...
Published by soujiroseta in the blog Souji's Time Spent NOT Procrastinating. Views: 128
The last couple of weeks for me have been somewhat distressing. It's the end of another grueling semester and well the pressure of all those final assignments being in has been getting to me. Aside from that recovering from the chicken pox i had recently is taking forever and i have know been crowned King Spot. My friends bow whenever i enter a room and shout, "Long live king Spot!" One guy even went to the extent of setting up speakers in my room and decided to play audio of a....of....what do you call it when a chicken shouts in the morning?... Yeah that.
I feel like everything around is out to conquer me and just take over. I cant write because my characters have banded together and refuse to do what i tell them to even though their not supposed to be friends. They formed a union and refuse to speak a word of dialogue until i rethink their roles! Bunch of idiots!
Well i feel better now! Time to go bust up that union!

CHARLES B. GAMBLE, or MINNEAPOLIS, ,MINNESbTA.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES B. GAMBLE, a citizen of the United States, resident of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVeighing Mechanism and lt'lileagesRecorders, of which the following is a specification. i
My invention relates to a device for utilizing the deflection of the springs of 'a vehicle for weighing the load on the vehicle, the revolution of the wheels being utilized for measuring the distance traveled, the combination of the two indicating the tonmiles covered by the vehicle in any given time.
My invention consists generally in the combinations hereinafter described and par: tieularly pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a power driven truck to which my invention is applied, Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view illustrating the application of my invention to the axle and truck body, Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line mm of Fig. 9, Fig. 1 is a sectional view on the line yea] of Fig. 2, Fig.5 is a detail view, showing the mechanism for operating the recorder and mo'vingthe sheet on which the record is made, Fig. 6 is a, sectional view 7 on the line w- -w of Fig. 5, Fig. 7 is a sectional view on the line mm of Fig. 5, Fig. 8 is a sectional view on the line a n of Fig. 5, Fig. 9 is a detail view of a portion of the ribbon or tape on which the record is made.
In the drawing, 2 represents a. truck frat 5 having forward and rear axles 3 and i, carrying wheels 5' and 6' and springs 7 and 8. This truck is of the ordinary power driven type and the frame and running gears are of ordinary construction. I have shown the device attached to a truck of this kind as typical of the application of the invention to a vehicle, but do not confine myself to such use, as the invention is capable of attachment to other types of vehicle. I will now describe the preferred manner of applying the invention to the truck.
9 is a clamp, secured to the rear axle by I bolts 10 and having a guide 11 thereon in which a stud 12 formed on the lower end of cylinder 13 is slid-able, a cushion spring It being provided on said stud between the :r ner end of the guide-l1 and the cylinder,

2-1 with the upper closed portion of said tube and one end of sad lever has a curved slot therein in whi a block 23 is slidable and secured at any point in the slot 22 by a bolt 2-1. A link has a forked end journaled on the block 23 and is pivotally connected at its opposite end to the lower portion of the cylinder 13. The link 25 is thus pivot-ally supported at both ends, the stroke of the cylinder being regulated by Y the adjustment of the block 23 toward or from the pivotal connection 21 of the lever '20 with thetube 17.- In attaching the device to a Vehicle the link 25 is adjusted in the v curved slot of the lever 20 until the travel of the plunger 17 for a given load is regis- This adjustment in the slot 22 will be varied according to the capacity of the truck or vehicle on which the apparatus is mounted. The other end of the lever 20 issupported in a bloclrfixi that is pivoted in a hanger 27 that is mounted to slide on a rod 28 in a frame 29 that is secured to the bottom of the truck'frame. A screw is mounted in the frame 29 and has a threaded connection with the hanger 27 for the purpose of adjusting it back and forth on the lever 20 to attain a point on the truck 40 which will have constant deflectionfor a given load, regardless of the position of the load on the truck, and which is an indication of the strength of the front and rear springs. In maxing an adjustment of the device to a vehicle. it will be necessary, of course, to adjust the moving parts commensurate with the defiection of the springs under load and by providing these adjustable connections I am able to easily and quickly obtain the proper adjustment for different strengths bf all springs and difi'erent strengths of front and rear springs.

Matia Island State Park
High winds caught us by surprise while anchored at Matia Island for Memorial Day. Fortunately, I followed the steps listed in my marine safety article before going to bed and we were able to avert running aground when both anchors began to drag.
Boating to Matia Island
My friends Ken and Sherrie, my wife, and I had made plans months ago to redevous at Matia Island for Memorial Day weekend. I made a hard push in May to get my hands on the new Torqeedo Cruise 4 electric outboard and get it installed for this weekend. I got it done just in time!
We set off with a flood tide in our favor. Cruising with one engine at idle and the Torqeedo running at 3KW, we made it about 10 miles into the 22 mile trip before we hit water choppy enough to justify running on the engines. The boat handles rough water better the faster it moves. However, we managed to average 5.5 mph while running on electric and I estimate the one engine only used about a gallon of fuel; a significant cost savings.
We had planned to anchor and raft up together at 'hermit harbor' on the southeast side of Matia Island. Its got a mud bottom for good holding and the weather was forecasted to be calm. The roughest weather was forcasted to hit on Saturday evening with an average of 12 mph coming from the southwest. The cove is long and narrow, facing the southest. There is a steep cliff on the southwest side to block wind from that direction. Its about as nice of an anchorage as you'll find in the San Juan Islands.
You can check out all the locations around the Island, as well as a GPS breadcrumb trail on this Matia Island hiking trail map that I created:
View Matia Island in a larger map
Anchoring and Docking
Rolfe Cove on the northwest end of Matia possess a sixty foot dock and two mooring buoys (though I swear I only saw one when I was there in summer 2012). The dock is also removed in winter to protect it against nasty weather. Anchorage in Rolfe Cove is not recommended as the current and tidal changes are crazy. The tidal current can make it even more difficult to maneuver in the small, crowded cove.
This home video created by Greg Keeler gives you a really good idea of what Rolfe Cove and the dock looks like. You can see that the dock fills up pretty fast!
Just south of Rolfe Cove is a narrow, unnamed cove. My friends and I have successfully anchored here by backing toward shore and running a stern line to shore to prevent swinging. The bottom is good mud with solid holding. There is no trail access to the rest of the island from this cove, so you'll have to take your dingy around the corner to Rolfe Cove to explore the island.
On the southeast side of the island is another unnamed, but long and roomy cove that is referred to by locals as Hermit Cove. Favor the northern shore when entering, and give the southern peninsula a wide berth as there are submerged rocks in its tail.
The bottom here too is mud and makes for excellent holding ground. It is exposed to the southern wind, which can get pretty violent in this area, so check your weather forecast. Also, don't anchor too far in as the tidal changes here are quite severe.
The Hermit of MatiaThe San Juan Islands in summer time are dangerously alluring. Now that Memorial Day has come and gone, the island winds are just beginning to mellow into their summer slumber. The violent southerly winds subside to be replaced with mellow northerly ones. The nasty bodies of water, like Rosario Strait, frequently take on the placidity of a pond. In these ideal conditions, it's easy to dream about living out here year around. Perhaps the retires have it figured out; many live on their boats here for the best 6 months of the year and then spend the rest of the year somewhere calmer and warmer.
Being anchored up in 'hermit cove' on Matia, I can't help but think of what it would have been like for the hermit who lived here. The mouth of the bay opens to the southeast; wide open to those violent winter winds. How did he weather the winter? The lonely northern islands of Matia, Sucia, and Patos are exposed to winds and tides from all direction, creating a violent winter, in my imagination.
Was he happy living here? I've toyed with the idea of dropping anchor here for several months. It's private and is near the towns of Olga and Eastsound on Orcas Island. The story goes that he had a little row boat and would row to Eastsound for supplies once a month. One month he didn't show up at the appointment time and search for him brought up nothing. It's assumed that he met his fate on the row boat in route to Orcas.
A drowning death comes for many who make their lives in the San Juan Islands. It's an occupational hazard here. However, I like to focus on his life rather than his death. How did he pine his years away here, alone, on the island? Did he go hungry at times? Or was the fish, seaweed, game, and plants on the island more then enough to feed him? Did he eat conventional staples, or did he learn to harvest 'exotic' foods like ulva sea lettuce? Did he get many visitors or did he prefer his privacy?
Dragging AnchorFriday night was calm and beautiful, as was Sunday night. But Saturday night was full of adventure. After eating a wonderful dinner of fresh caught greenling, sauted cattails, beans and rice, we ascended to the upper deck, wine glasses in hand, to warm out toes by the chiminea and watch night descend. It was a perfect end to a beautiful day. The tranquility of the evening was matched however, by the ferocity of the nighttime.
Weather forecasts had originally predicted 12 mph winds from the south-west. As hermit harbor opened to the southeast, and we were tucked inside behind a cliff, I thought we had little to fear. Ultimately though, the wind shifted to the southeast, hitting us face on, and the average predicted wind speed built up to 19 mph, though I believe it was quite a bit higher.
The day before, I had been very careful to set the anchor by dropping the hook with a 5:1 scope of line. 7:1 is recommended by the coast guard, but being close to the cliff face, I wanted to minimize the radius of my swing. To make extra sure of a good hold, I put the boat in reverse in order to dig the anchor into the mud and 'set the hook'. However, I backed away from land into the open water. On this night, the wind was blowing us onto land.
Around midnight, we were rudely awakened by the crash of the boats hitting one another. We had rafted together side-by-side as was our usual standard. We quickly added more fenders to pad the boats. But as the wind and waves began to increase, the anchor began to slowly drag. We were able to respond to this fairly quickly thanks to the early warning from the anchor alarm on my laptop.
Ken dropped his anchor so that we'd have a double hold, but as the night got darker and more violent, and we became even more exhausted from repeated banging and alarms and lack of sleep, it became obvious that we were still very slowly dragging both anchors into shallower water.
The forecast was for the winds to peak at 5 AM and then subside over the next day. About 3 am, after it was obvious we were dragging and getting into very shallow water, we had a slight break in the wind. We fired up the engines on both boats. First Ken took the wheel and pushed our raft forward while I brought in my anchor. Then he put his boat in neutral as I hopped up to the flybridge to power while he brought in his anchor. I powered us slowly through the chop into the middle of the harbor. Once in place, we again both dropped our anchors and let out about 70 feet of line. It was still bumpy and rough, but we both felt confident that we'd make it into the morning without any more dragging.
The beauty of the dawn was a stark contrast to the violent water. By 6am, the wind was dying down significantly as it shifted to the southwest and we were increasingly shielded by the cliffs on that side of the island. The water however was still angry. All throughout the day we continued to rock and bump. It was like the water had a bad attitude and didn't want to give up without a fight. Still, there is something about sunlight that really knocks the teeth out of treacherous water.
Lessons Learned
Despite the stress and fatigue, we were never in any significant danger. The wind was blowing us on to a muddy shore. Even if the boats had bottomed out, they probably would have escaped without any damage. However, by following my marine safety practices, we were able to efficiently handle the situation.
Also, despite the rough weather, I highly recommend this anchorage in calmer, summer weather. It is a very nice holding ground, normally.
This adventure also turned out to be an excellent test of my ground tackle. I now know that the 35 lb Danforth anchor that I got with the boat and 30 feet of 3/8" chain does not provide adequate holding power. I had already ordered a windlass, and planned on adding 150 feet of 5/16" high test chain, but now I'm also going to get a quick-set Delta anchor like Ken's.

Unanswered: Urgent: Windows Service
I need a service always running for migration of data from a web server to local server. I have written the service and am able to start and stop the service from another windows application.
I have written both the programs separately. i.e. one is windows service application and another is the windows application in C#.NET 2003. The windows application is for scheduling the timings of migration. If i want to change the schedule of migration i.e. if i want to reschedule my migration timings, how can i set the schedule in the Service application from my windows application?
Is there any way to declare static variables directly in the class file of the Service application and set them from windows application directly (Just the way we call the start and stop methods of service, can I set any properties of the Service so that the service continues to run with the newly set properties)?
Thanks and regards
mrcThanks and regards

I never travel without these earplugs. It never seems to fail that I get stuck next to the loudest person on the airplane--every time I travel. I used to buy store-brand earplugs in bulk for travel, but I found that by spending a little extra money on these guys, I get that much more comfort and enjoy my travel experience much more. Highly recommend! They also help if your hotel's walls are thin and you can hear everything that goes on in the hallway, the elevator, the room next door, etc.

Triumph Tiger 800
The Triumph Tiger 800 is letting its claws out for the whole world to see. That only means danger to all those looking at taking this ferocious feline head-on.
Designed from the ground up to meet the demands of some of the most discerning motorcyclists, the Tiger 800 comes highly specified and delivers a unique experience for the adventure-minded rider.
The "unique experience" we're talking about comes courtesy of the bike's new three-cylinder 799cc powerplant, one that delivers a class-leading 94 brake horsepower and an extremely accessible 58 lb/ft. of torque. With its flat torque curve and smooth power delivery, the Tiger 800 has been designed to be easy to ride in all conditions, including off-road.
Speaking of its design, the Tiger 800 features a tough steel frame that's more than capable of carrying large amounts of luggage and coping with the rough and tumble world of off-road riding. Ten-spoke alloy wheels – 19″ at the front and 17″ at the rear – allow for the use a wide range of tires, whether it's the dirt-based dual purpose items or the pure road rubber for those who wish to take advantage of the Tiger 800's qualities.
Color options are also a unique new wrinkle to the Tiger 800, allowing customers to choose from Crystal White, Phantom Black, and Venom Yellow, all of which come with the adoption of a graphite colored frame for the 2012 model year.
The Tiger 800 also comes with a comprehensive instrumentation that includes a fuel gauge and trip computer, while a high-specification 645w generator is included to allow riders to safely power electrical accessories. Other accessories that are featured in the Tiger 800 include numerous hard- and soft-luggage solutions, tire pressure monitor sensors, adjustable touring screen, centerstand, off-road style hand guards, bash plates, and high-level front fender.

Despite the pressures to cut costs and meet strict fuel-economy regulations, General Motors says that speedy Chevrolets still have a future.
In an interview with AutoWeek, Mark Reuss, GM vice president of global engineering, said that the Chevrolet SS line could be improved or more clearly defined. Instead of adding horsepower across the board, Reuss wants that cars be outfitted on a case-by-case basis.
He pointed out Chevrolet's heritage, saying that it's important to remember where SS was. Reuss recently took over as GM's top engineer after leading its Holden operations in Australia, the origin of GM's rear-wheel drive underpinnings.
However, Reuss continues to have that platform (dubbed Zeta) under his watch. In fact, GM is working on designing a sedan in Australia that's expected to return impressive fuel economy in that market from a 3.0-liter engine.
Reuss is aiming for rear-wheel drive to have broader applications, and to play a larger role in GM's U.S. lineup.
To do that, Reuss believes the cars have to reduce their weight and have excellent gas mileage. He has a goal for RWD to be usable and relevant to modern realities across the globe. The underpinnings for the Camaro and the Pontiac G8 originated from Holden. [via autonews]
