News Students Tour Dumfries Power Station on Career Day
DUMFIRES, Va. — What does the inside of the Possum Point Power station look like? Just ask 74 students who toured the facility last week as part of a special field trip two the facility in Dumfries owned by Dominion Virginia Power.
While there the students got an overview of what it's like to work in the power generation station, and what operations take place in the station's welding shop, maintenance shed, and environmental sciences department.
For Dominion, it's a chance to showcase some of the many technical careers available to students who will be advancing from high school.
From employees in their power generation stations to linemen, Dominion is hiring.
"It's a great company to work for but the work is not easy. There are long hours, unpredictable hours. If we have an outage in the middle of the night you could be called on the middle of the night to make repairs," said spokeswoman Le-Ha Anderson.
But the pay and benefits are good, all training is provided, and those hired by Dominion usually stay with the company for a lengthy career, said Anderson. And while many are in need of working in the recession, the power company says cost of living and traffic congestion make for hiring challenges in Northern Virginia.
The field trips occur about once a year and are a collaboration with Prince William County Public Schools.

If you're like me you like to know what's going on inside your camera or lens to some degree. They are tools, and if I want to get the best use out of my tool I need to know it's strengths and weaknesses.See the entire article on the LensRentals Blog.
You may not have noticed, especially if you shoot just Canon or Nikon, but there's been a quiet change in autofocus motors going on. Or you might have barely noticed marketing-fluff terms like 'linear focusing' or 'electromagnetic focusing' without really understanding what they meant. Even if you understood the general terms, you probably aren't really certain how they work, or how they might be better or worse than what we've been using.
So I thought some of you might like taking a look into what might (or might not) be a big deal: the changes that are being made in autofocus motors. Today I'm going to discuss linear electromagnetic focusing motors. I may do another post about linear-piezo and ring-to-linear piezo motors later, but those are, so far, less common than the electromagnetic motors.

Andrea Bahamondes http://thenakedelephant.net/
It is hard to describe with words how my heart has felt for the last 48 hours, as I watched the news and waited to hear back from family and love ones in my country. I have received so many messages from people wishing that all my love ones are safe. I can't thank them enough for their concern.
I woke up Saturday morning to the terrible news. My heart shrunk, it was hard for me to identify the intensity of the catastrophe, as the hours past, it became clear that we were facing, once again this year, a terrible event with devastating results for many, specially those among the poorest communities.
As a humanity, we are all affected when events like this struck anyplace of our planet, even if it is not our home country. Our world is changing, accommodating to a new way of existence. New priorities, are being force on many. Take the time to reflect, to re-connect with your spirit. I can't emphasize enough the importance of taking the time to re-consider what really matters in your life.
What can you do to help? here is a link that contains all the different organization through which you can make a donation
Immense thanks to all the people that in one way or another have reached out to find out how my love ones are. I am blessed that all my love ones are safe.

Mike Lowell's road back
|10.30.08 at 7:45 pm ET
For whomever might be interested, here is a very small snapshot of some of the rehab work Mike Lowell did over the past week at Fenway Park before heading home to Florida Thursday …
From Red Sox assistant trainer Mike Reinold: "Early in the rehabilitation program the emphasis is on recovering from the trauma of the surgery itself (ice, compression, gentle range of motion exercises), restoring motion and muscle activity of his hip and entire lower extremity (basic isometric exercises for the hip and strengthening of his other leg muscles) and normalizing his gait (crutches and exercises to help him walk normal again). Once this initial period is over, we can begin to emphasis more of the strength and balance of his legs and core, which will be a several week phase. He can then begin to integrate his normal offseason and baseball activities. At the end of the program, he will likely be even stronger and agile than before."

This invention relates to light emitting diode (LED) drivers and, in particular, to LED drivers that boost an input voltage to drive LEDs connected in series.
LEDs are rapidly replacing incandescent bulbs, fluorescent bulbs, and other types of light sources due to their efficiency, small size, high reliability, and selectable color emission. A typical forward voltage drop for a high power LED is about 3-4 volts. The brightness of an LED is controlled by the current through the LED, which ranges from a few milliamps to an amp or more, depending on the type of LED. For this reason, LED drivers typically include some means to control the LED current.
In applications where high brightness is needed, multiple LEDs are used. It is common to connect LEDs in series, since the current through all the LEDs in series will be the same. The voltage needed to drive LEDs in series needs to be greater than the LEDs' combined forward voltages. For batteries or other power supplies that deliver 12 volts, only three or four LEDs can be connected in series. Therefore, boost converters are typically used in LED drivers that convert a low input voltage into a much higher voltage (e.g., up to 100 volts) to drive a selectable number of LEDs in series.
The driver 10 is a DC boost regulator that up-converts an input voltage (Vin) to the required output voltage (Vout) needed to drive the series-connected LEDs 14 at a desired regulated current. The regulator switches a switching transistor Q1 at a certain pulse-width modulation (PWM) duty cycle to maintain Vout at the required level. The switching is at a high frequency, such as 100 KHz-5 MHz, to keep component sizes small.
When the switching transistor Q1 is on, essentially connecting the inductor L1 between Vin and ground, a ramping current flows through the inductor L1, and the blocking diode D1 is off. Stored charge in the output capacitor Cout supplies a smooth current through the LEDs during this time. The blocking diode D1 prevents the capacitor Cout from discharging to ground when the transistor Q1 is on.
When transistor Q1 is turned off, the polarity of the voltage at the anode of diode D1 reverses, and diode D1 turns on. The stored inductor energy is then discharged, as a ramping down current, to recharge the capacitor Cout, while a smooth current flows through the LEDs. The relatively large value of the capacitor Cout maintains Vout at a relatively constant level (i.e., low ripple) to provide a smooth regulated current through the LEDs.
The duty cycle needed to maintain Vout (and thus the current) at the required level to drive the LEDs is set as follows. A low value resistor R1 in series with the LEDs has a voltage drop equal to ILED*R1. This voltage drop is a feedback voltage (Vfb) into the controller. An error amplifier 16 (an op amp) receives Vfb and a reference voltage (Vref) and generates an error signal related to the difference between Vfb and Vref. Any difference between Vfb and Vref causes the error signal to correspondingly charge or discharge a compensation capacitor Ccomp, through a compensation resistor Rcomp. The resulting voltage (Vcontrol) at the output of the amplifier 16 is relatively stable. The magnitude of Vcontrol is directly related to the duty cycle of the boost regulator, and the duty cycle is that required to cause Vfb to equal Vref (i.e., zero error signal).
A low value resistor R2 is connected in series with the switching transistor Q1 so that, when Q1 is on and conducting a ramping current through the inductor L1, the R2 voltage drop is a rising ramped voltage. This rising voltage is amplified, as required, by an amplifier 20 and applied to one input of a PWM comparator 22. The comparator's 22 other input is Vcontrol.
A clock is connected to the set input of an RS flip-flop 24 to set the Q output at the beginning of each clock cycle. The clock has a typical frequency between 100 KHz and 5 MHz. The high output of the flip-flop 24 at the start of the cycle is amplified by an amplifier 25, if necessary, to turn on the switching transistor Q1, shown as an N-channel MOSFET. The transistor can be any suitable type. The output of the comparator 22 is connected to the reset input of the flip-flop 24. When the rising voltage crosses Vcontrol, the output of the comparator 22 goes high and causes the Q output of the flip-flop 24 to be reset to zero to turn off the transistor Q1.
In this way, the duty cycle of the switching transistor Q1 is controlled to generate a smooth current through the LEDs required to cause Vfb to equal Vref. The value of resistor R1 can be selected to achieve any desired regulated current.
Numerous other types of boost regulators can also be used.
Common features in typical boost regulators used for driving LEDs in series are the blocking diode D1 and large, high voltage output capacitor Cout. The capacitor Cout must have a high voltage rating, such as 100 v, to handle the boosted voltage and any voltage spikes. Additionally, the value of the capacitor Cout is typically in the range of 1-10 μF so that there is only a small Vout ripple. When driving LEDs, a small variation in the driving voltage may cause a large variation in the current through the LEDs, making the brightness hard to accurately control. Such high value HV capacitors require a relatively large amount of space and are expensive.
Additionally, the blocking diode D1 is typically external to the controller IC chip 12 and must be purchased separately by the user and connected to the controller. Such an external diode and its connection add cost and uses space.
What is desired is a boost LED driver that is smaller and less expensive than the typically LED driver, such as shown in
An LED driver is disclosed that boosts an input voltage to drive any number of LEDs in series. A blocking diode and output capacitor are not used, so that the resulting driver may be made smaller and less expensively than prior art drivers.
A boost regulator switches a transistor on and off at a high frequency duty cycle. The transistor connects one end of an inductor to ground when the transistor is on, as with prior art boost converters, to energize the inductor for each cycle. The node of the switching transistor and inductor is directly connected to an anode of the "top" LED in the series string of LEDs. When the switching transistor is turned off, the charged inductor supplies current through the LEDs. There is no blocking diode or output capacitor, so the current through the LEDs is pulsed rather than constant. The cathode of the "bottom" LED in the string is connected to ground via a low value sense resistor. In parallel with the sense resistor is connected a filter resistor and filter capacitor, forming an RC filter. The filter capacitor provides a feedback voltage for the boost regulator. The filter capacitor smoothes the pulsing voltage at the sense resistor generated by the pulsed current through the LEDs when the switching transistor is turned off. Therefore, the feedback voltage is relatively stable over the entire switching cycle. The filter resistor is a relatively high value resistor for preventing the filter capacitor from discharging through the sense resistor when the switching transistor is on and the LEDs are off.
Since the filter capacitor is connected to the bottom LED (the bottom LED only sees a low voltage) and the value of the sense resistor is relatively low (e.g., less than 10 ohms), the filter capacitor can be a low voltage ceramic type, such as a 6 volt capacitor. Further, since the filter resistor has a high value, the RC time constant is large, even with a small value filter capacitor (e.g., 0.1 μF). Therefore, the feedback voltage can be very stable with a small, low voltage filter capacitor.
The resulting LED driver can be made very small and inexpensively.
Although the LEDs are turned on and off at the HF switching rate of the switching transistor, such flicker is not noticeable to the human eye. To achieve the desired brightness, the user sets the average current through the LEDs. The average current may be set by the value of the sense resistor or by adjusting the values of other components or the error amplifier reference voltage.
Additionally, a PWM brightness control circuit can effectively enable and disable the driver at a relatively low frequency duty cycle, such as 100 Hz-1000 Hz, to dynamically control the average current through the LEDs.
Virtually any type of boost controller may be used in conjunction with the novel feedback circuit of the present invention, such as the boost controller of prior art
Elements in the various figures labeled with the same numerals are the same or equivalent.
The driver 30 is shown driving two parallel strings of LEDs (LED1 through LEDn and LED1A through LEDNA). Any number of LEDs may be connected in series, and any number of strings may be connected in parallel. As the number of LEDs in series increases, the driver 30 automatically increases its boosted output voltage to supply a predetermined average current through the LEDs, where the average current is set by the value of one or more components of the driver 30.
The boost controller on chip 12 turns the switching transistor Q1 on and off at a frequency determined by the clock supplying set pulses to the RS flip-flop 24. The frequency will typically be 1 MHz-3 MHz. The duty cycle of the transistor Q1 is controlled by the magnitude of the Vcontrol signal, which is that voltage needed to keep the feedback voltage Vfb into the error amplifier 16 equal to the reference voltage Vref In one embodiment, Vref is a fixed voltage between 0.2 and 2 volts.
The operation of the circuit of
When a clock pulse (
Eventually, the ramping current through the resistor R2 causes the ramping voltage input into the PWM comparator 22 to cross the Vcontrol signal. At this point in the cycle, the PWM comparator 22 triggers to reset the flip-flop 24 to turn off the transistor Q1. This triggering time in the cycle sets the instantaneous peak current through the inductor L1 and the transistor Q1 (
The LED current (
Additionally, a PWM brightness control circuit (not shown), receiving an externally generated brightness control signal, can effectively enable and disable the driver 30 at a relatively low frequency duty cycle, such as 100 Hz-1000 Hz, to dynamically control the average current through the LEDs.
In one example, assume the driver 30 is to power 10 LEDs in series with an average current of 40 mA, at an efficiency (eff) of 85%, and Vin is 12 volts. If the voltage drop across each LED is 3 volts, then Vout must be approximately 30 volts, ignoring the voltage drop across the sense resistor Rsense. The duty cycle (D) of the switching transistor Q1 equals [Vout−(Vin*eff)]/Vout, which equals 0.66. The average LED current (40 mA) approximately equals their peak current multiplied by the ratio of their on-time vs. cycle time (ignoring the current ramping), which is Iavg=Ipk*(1−D). Therefore, the LED peak current is 40 mA/0.34, or 118 mA.
The voltage levels at Rsense are low since the LEDs have dropped the high voltage Vout down to typically less than 2 volts. Therefore, the filter capacitor Cfil can be an inexpensive low voltage ceramic type. The breakdown voltage of the filter capacitor Cfil may be about 6 volts, and its value may be on the order of 0.1 μF.

Many different boost controller circuits, including voltage mode types, can be used instead of the current mode circuit shown in
Many other types of boost controllers may be used in conjunction with the invention.
The various components may be coupled together by direct wiring, or via resistors, or via buffers, or via level shifters, or via inverters, or via other components in order to properly operate. The polarities of any comparator and op amp inputs may be the opposite with suitable changes in any affected circuits.
Having described the invention in detail, those skilled in the art will appreciate that, given the present disclosure, modifications may be made to the invention without departing from the spirit and inventive concepts described herein. Therefore, it is not intended that the scope of the invention be limited to the specific embodiments illustrated and described.

Weather can't be any better, but get ready to pay premium price. Beginning or mid December (before Christmas) is a lot cheaper.

Ditto Spur's comment. Have done Aruba/Spice Islands both early in the month and December in the new year. Same great weather, less than 1/2 the price the first 2 weeks in December, though.

Do be aware that ports are much more crowded too.

Good point, Jacketwatch. Which reminds me the number of kids you can expect onboard more than triples during the holidays vs. earlier in the month.

some rain in early Dec when I was there tends to taper off
later in the month... Jan lots better...
Have fun,

To amplify a bit we had a port stop in St. Maarten in the summer on the AOS and with two cruise ships in port as well a a Dutch warship BTW the roads were clogged with traffic. In high season our cab driver said sometime 4-5 ships are in port on the same day. Oh well its better than being at home I suppose.

Thanks everyone for your help. I am a teacher and have always traveled over spring break. This will be our first time doing a cruise in December. We are taking our two teenage nieces with us (one from my side of the family and one from my husband's side of the family), and have to work around 3 school schedules. There are some conflicts over spring break so we opted for Christmas since we are all out of school at the same time. It will definitely be a nice chunk of money, but as long as our ship is beautiful and the weather is sunny and warm then it will be worth it.
Report Abuse
We were on the Ruby Princess Dec 12-19 in 2010 and were unable to make our Bahamas stop (Princess' private island) due to high seas and bad weather. The stops in St. Thomas, St. Maarten and Turks/Caicos were fine but there was rain and temps were in high 70's, not always beach weather. Granted this has been a particularly brutal winter, but we won't be doing Caribbean again in December. With 2 kids (one a teacher and one a student), spring break is always bad for us because of disparate vacation times. We are thinking of Panama Canal in December, as that is MUCH farther south. No easy answer.
Report Abuse
Last 4 times we were in Grand Cayman in Dec/Jan it was not very warm. Had to purchase hoodies for the whole family..St. Thomas was very windy and cool the Christmas before last. The whole winter was not great and a cruise in Feb. had such high seas we couldn't get off ship in Virgin Gorda or Tortola. Some times there are 8 ships in St. Thomas and that is not good except for the merchants. Will be there in 2 weeks and will only go into Charlotte Amalia perhaps once and only on a day when there are fewer ships. "It ain't what it used to be!!!"
Report Abuse
Been to Grand Cayman on 3 separate crusies, fianlly landed ashore the last try. Maybe third time the charm?
Being a tender port you will always run the chance of not getting ashore. I didn't think the wave was big but I guess it is bad enough not to tender. Even on the time we landed ashore, we tedner to the alternate pier which is away from the down town core and cost $5 cab fare to get into town.
We failed to make land-ho in January and December. The final time was mid November.
Report Abuse
Well, since Grand Cayman is usually not considered to be in the "southern Caribbean" shouldn't be any problem then.
Report Abuse
While technically correct in fact several southern Carib. cruises do have stops in GC as well as other ports not that far south such as the Virgin islands and the DR as well.
Report Abuse
winter cruises can be a crap shoot..But don't let that stop you..Go and enjoy!!!

"We stayed 5 nights, very comfortable, clean and central hotel. Staff are friendly, breakfast is a lovely continental style. The only con is the poor wi-fi but we understand this is the same for most places in Venice."
