According to Jewish tradition, a boy becomes a man at 13, when he's called before his community to read from the Torah and become a bar mitzvah, meaning "son of the commandments."
In the case of Daniel Blumen, who will make this rite of passage in May, this homestretch of childhood has suddenly become a viral event.
Rather than send out simple save-the-date cards or email announcements, Daniel busted out and did something different. A fan of rap music, this only child and "clever little guy," as described by his father, made a music video -- for which he wrote most of his own lyrics -- playing off Jermaine Dupri's "Welcome to Atlanta," featuring Ludacris.
Welcome to Atlanta where the playas play,
Hope you can make my bar mitzvah day.
Thirteen years since I was born,
And the party won't stop till Sunday mornin'.
The video features Daniel plugging landmark sites across the city -- Turner Field, the Olympic rings, the Georgia Aquarium -- and includes a smattering of celebs. Ne-Yo holds up a sign in a photo: "To My Lil Rapper D Mazel Tov!" In another image, Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley sit at the TNT Halftime Report desk, where Daniel also appears.
The final product was intended for friends and family and went out two weeks ago. But on Tuesday, a staff writer at Tablet magazine, Adam Chandler, saw it on Facebook after a friend of a friend shared it. He wrote a quick piece for the online Jewish publication, and social media took over -- landing Daniel in the spotlight and on national TV.
"I've never done anything even closely related to this," said Daniel, who explained that he and his mom were inspired by a save-the-date video that a kid from New York made a couple of years ago, playing off Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind." "It was really good, but we wanted to do something funnier that had to do with Atlanta."
The reviews from friends and family have been great. And plenty of strangers are loving it, too, including Frank Ski, an Atlanta radio and TV personality.
Ski, who appeared in the original Jermaine Dupri and Ludacris video, was one of a handful of local celebs to make cameo appearances in Daniel's. He has a son in Daniel's school and a friend who practices law in the same firm as Daniel's parents. So when the friend approached him about the project, he couldn't resist. Daniel went to Frank Ski's Restaurant & Lounge, and after 15 minutes in the DJ booth together they had what they needed.
"It was pretty simple and painless," Ski said. As for the final product: "Very creative," he said. "Hilarious."
Another fan is Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, who also made an appearance after Daniel's mom sent a request to the mayor's office.
"Mayor Reed has an extremely busy schedule, but he has a soft spot for kids and this seemed like a fun, easy thing to do. ... It only took a few minutes," spokeswoman Sonji Jacobs wrote in an e-mail. "We did not know it would go viral. We think it is very cute."
Not everyone who's come across the video is pleased, however. There are plenty of oys and ughs, claims that this is an insult to a faith and a people, and other sweeping generalizations about what the video represents. One woman wrote on Facebook: "Gag. This would be cute if it weren't so excessive. I'm embarrassed on behalf of The Temple (the synagogue Daniel's family attends), my home city and southern Jewry."
The thing is, beyond the kid in New York who inspired the idea, Daniel is far from alone in doing this. Do a quick YouTube search, and there are oodles of less compelling save-the-date videos.
The criticisms are mind-blowing to Rabbi Peter Berg of The Temple, who agreed to a quick cameo himself. He said he knows countless synagogues that release playful videos, including raps, to ramp up High Holy Day attendance. And it's not as if this is Daniel's actual bar mitzvah, a ceremony the boy is taking very seriously.
"This is just a kid's save-the-date that he's sending to Aunt Sylvia," said Berg. "He's a good kid. He's excited about his bar mitzvah, and I think it's a shame people are being critical."
Even the headline to the Tablet story made a little dig: "Bar Mitzvah Video Eclipses GDP of Small Nations."
That, too, is laughable to those who were involved. Berg said no one was paid to be in the video. It was shot in a day (other than quick cameos) and edited by a recent college grad, 21-year-old Gabi Chennisi, with the help of her boyfriend. Chennisi, who freelances around Atlanta and does work for CNN sister network HLN, said she got no more than $2,000 for the job -- one she couldn't have enjoyed more.
"I want people to look for the spirit in the video," she said. "He was not taking himself too seriously. The family wanted to have a good time with it, and he had a blast."
And for those who complain that Daniel's parents, Rick Blumen and Liz Price, have nothing better to do with their money?
"This cost much less than the printed invitations (to the bar mitzvah), which aren't lavish either," Daniel's dad said. "We'll have a normal service and normal party afterward. We're not looking to top any lists or do anything spectacular."

Selective Soldering and the Modular Approach |
Written by ACI Technologies Inc. | |||
Monday, 03 December 2012 14:44 | |||
When should machine soldering be used instead of manual? High-mix production is the mainstay of many electronics assembly plants. Lot sizes and board complexities vary, and boards are often mixed technology, comprising a blend of both surface-mount and through-hole technology. Modularizing a production line enables a clear distinction between one type of assembly process and another. This month, we look at the decision-making of routing a circuit board through-hand assembly vs. automated selective soldering. This assumes a modern factory where a job can be routed to the selective soldering machine module, the hand assembly bench, or a combination.
ACI Technologies Inc. (aciusa.org) is the National Center of Excellence in Electronics Manufacturing, specializing in manufacturing services, IPC standards and manufacturing training, failure analysis and other analytical services.

One of the most memorable pioneers of Finnish first-wave death metal, Convulse were there in 1990 alongside bands such as Xysma, Disgrace, and Abhorrence to create a scene which was to become legendary. Formed in Nokia in early 1990, the band was quickly snapped up by Thrash Records from France, and the future cult classic "World Without God" appeared a year later.
After an 18-year break, Convulse returned in 2012 and played a few comeback shows in Finland this year. The band has already been confirmed to play Maryland Deathfest 2013, with more live appearances in the works for the near future. A new Convulse vinyl EP, with two brand-new tracks, is scheduled for a November release, and a new full-length album can be expected in 2013. The band has signed to Svart Records, who will handle both the EP and the album worldwide.
"Our new material has a strong old school death metal feel to it, and the band is tighter than ever before," says Rami Jämsä, the man responsible for lead guitars and vocals. "When recording, we plan to concentrate on the energy brought on by playing everything live - no triggers or ProTools. Nothing beats a well-rehearsed band playing live, be it on stage or in the studio."
For proof of this statement, recent Convulse rehearsal footage can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYeFX0WMDNU.
Icelandic death metal act Angist has signed with Abyss Records. The band's self-released five-track ep "Circle of Suffering" was made available for the first time in North America by Abyss Records this summer and can be purchased at www.officialabyssrecords.com. "Circle of Suffering" was recorded, mixed and mastered by Wann at Emissary Studio. Abyss Records will release the band's full-length debut in the near future.
"Circle of Suffering" track List:
1. Circle Of Suffering
2. Godless
3. Silence
4. Unwelcome Thoughts
5. Death Incarnate
Swedish legendary Gorement has inked a worldwide deal with Century Media Records for the release of the band's entire catalog.
"Within The Shadow Of Darkness - The Complete Recordings" will be made available on September 24 on 2CD and double vinyl as well as digital download.
Other than on Gorement's discography compilation, "Darkness Of The Dead" (released in 2004), the entire musical content included on the upcoming release has been carefully remastered from the original master tapes by Dan Swano, who has already been in charge for the production of Gorement's demos and the "Into Shadows" EP. The result is mind-blowing: All songs sound fresh and incredibly massive without ever losing their original character.
"Within The Shadow Of Darkness – The Complete Recordings" track listing:
01. My Ending Quest
02. Vale Of Tears
03. Human Relic
04. The Memorial
05. The Lost Breed
06. Silent Hymn (For The Dead)
07. Sea Of Silence
08. Obsequies Of Mankind
09. Darkness Of The Dead
10. Into Shadows

Tracks 11-13 taken from the "Promo '95" demo (1995)
Tracks 14-18 are previously unreleased live tracks (1991) - only on CD
"Within The Shadow Of Darkness" features cover artwork by German/Swiss artist Carlos Schwabe (1926) whose creepy painting "La Vague" fits the release like perfectly. The album is packed with everything you can ask for: liner notes by the band, a detailed interview done by Nicola Costantini (well known for his books "Encyclopedia of Svensk Dodsmetall" and "The Return ... Of Svensk Dodsmetall"), all lyrics and loads of old flyers, photos, covers, fanzine interviews, etc.

Hi there,
I live in nova scotia and wondered if I could ask for some advice. I am 6'4" and have seen a cheap 6'5" shortboard but I am still starting out with surfing, would it be a smart idea to buy it and learn surfing with a shortboard or is it better to opt for a longboard?

Stanford: Violin Concertos
Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available
Movement 1: Allegro
Movement 2: Canzona Andante
Movement 3: Allegro moderato
The slow movement, titled Canzona, is one of Stanfords finest creations. As its title suggests, it is a tripartite song form, full of long, elegiac lines for the solo violin (which, like the Ballade of the Suite, grows out of the composers evident delight in the dark timbre of the open G string). In fact the attenuated melodic aspect of the movement hides an impressive organic cohesion in which much of the material is based on the descending four-note figure heard at the opening (on clarinets and bassoons). This also forms the basis of the more diatonic central section (made abundantly clear in the transition from G minor to E flat major) which is a lyrical effusion of great beauty and with the most ravishingly sumptuous writing for the soloist and (towards its close) for the horns. The return to G minor is marked by a spacious orchestral climax which prepares the way for a full cadenza for the violinist. This in turn forms a bridge to the restatement of the violins melancholic elegy, enveloped by hushed tremolandi for divided upper strings. It is a moment of spellbinding exquisiteness unique in the rich and varied catalogue of Stanfords orchestral works.
A Gaelic air (marked by Stanford in the score, though its origin is unclear), replete with distinctive flattened seventh, is used for the rondo theme in the high-spirited finale. Very much a foil to the earnest tone of the first two movements, this joyous dance revels in those pyrotechnic possibilities of violin technique (especially possible in that prince of keys for the violin, D major), though Stanford is equally slick in his manipulation of a tonal scheme that constantly gravitates between B minor and D.

I just want to say that I am addicted to this smoothie! It's so easy and delicious and wonderful on a hot day. Thanks so much!
1. Throw all raw lemonade smoothie ingredients in blender and blend away until smooth!
Remember that you should always put the softest ingredients, such as bananas, in first. That way they're close to the blender's blade and make it easier to blend.
If you don't have a high-speed blender (such as a VitaMix) I might leave out the celery because celery is kind of stringy if not blended well. Also, if you don't have a high-speed blender make sure your dates are soft. If you have really hard dates, soak them in warmish water for half-an-hour or so.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
Raw lemonade smoothies are refreshing during the summer. There's something very cooling about that tart, tangy taste.
The color of this raw lemonade smoothie doesn't look very lemony due to the dark-color of the dates, but the taste will be lemony-zingy!
I just love lemon-flavoured raw food recipes, like these raw lemon cookies.

Comments and Reviews
I'm not a banana smoothie person, but this was really really good! I used frozen banana because I like smoothies chill (and I keep loads of frozen bananas for vitamix ice cream). Very happy I tried, it's another keeper!
The raw lemonade smoothie was absolutely delicious!!!
WOW!!! I just tried this smoothie and it was amazing!!! I did add some spinach to it (it doesn't feel right unless I add some greens!) and I decided to add mint instead of celery. I can't wait to have another one!!!
What can I use instead of celery or parsley as its not available here in my area?
This was delish! I love citrus and dates. Never thought to put a lemon in a smoothie before but what a great combination! What a way to start my 7 day challenge! :)
I just want to say that I am addicted to this smoothie! It's so easy and delicious and wonderful on a hot day. Thanks so much!
Ok, so I put all the ingredients in my vitamix blender, I pulled up my nose, stuck my tongue out at the vitamix & said to myself, how gross, there's no ways this can taste good, not celery & a whole lemon mixed with banana & dates! Took my first sip & I was mind-blown away!! I even felt so ashamed at my own ignorance and arrogant thoughts that this could be disgusting, I was so wrong & I apologise. I cant wait to have another raw lemonade smoothie, its the best ever & my mouth watered so much after each sip.
So my husband and I are on a Mediterranean diet which is naturally a diabetes prevention and anti-inflammatory and all raw diet foods and all paleo diet foods are inside our lifestyle. We do tons of fruits and veggies and nuts, but we also do lean meats, fish, and low fat dairy products. I found your recipe for raw flaxseed crackers and they are in the dehydrator now. I am going to try this lemonade smoothie tomorrow. I was wondering, have you ever tried your hand at fruit leather? If so, what was your favorite flavors? I feel like you would be excellent and developing leathers that have complimentary tastes. I have made strawberry-banana and strawberry-blueberry and they are pretty good.. but I am looking for better ideas. Any suggestions?
This smoothie is so delicious! I added some vanilla :D
Thanks for the great apps :-) Is it possible to print or email the shopping lists directly like you can do with the recipes?
Do you use the whole lemon seeds and all ( not all of the skin, just some)?
Thinking I'll have to give this a try given all the great reviews :)
Just made this and it tastes sooooo good!!! Love the hint of the taste of celery in it - delicious! Thank you!!!
You're sain enough to keep us happy. Keep doing what you do. A lil comic relief is an added benefit!
This is the lemonade, silly goose! I'm happy to use the parsley, but if I won't taste the celery in the lemonade ill certainly try it. Thx!
This looks so delicious. I have disliked celery since I was a smal child. I like to sneek it in recipes when I CAN'T taste it. Is this one? Otherwise ill stick with the parsley.
This is super delicious, thank you. Super refreshing. I scooped out some passion fruit and put some of that on top, the citrus flavour was really enhanced. You have a great website, turned raw just 3 weeks ago and your recipes are awesome!! xx
Holy moly, that's unbelievably good! We added 1/3 C pecans and used a half frozen banana. Wow! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
I made this one today and again, my kids loved it and so did the hubby. He is a lemonade connoisseur ;). He said this is the perfect combination of tart and sweet and I agree. I made a double batch and there was quickly none left. Easy to make but I need to start keeping dates on hand and can't recall any of my local stores carrying them and so many recipes call for them. Also, I am diabetic and have just learned how good they can be for glucose levels which means I can eat the desserts and not worry so much.
I love lemon and found this site by accident. I love the Raw Lemonade Smoothie. Didn't change anything. It is wonderful in the morning with the hot weather. More filling that I would have thought. This is a keeper.

Dylan Johnson Attempts Latok 1 in Pakistan
North Ridge of Latok 1, Pakistan
A story by Dylan Johnson
Despite 30 years of expeditions by many of the world's best alpinists, Pakistan's Choktoi Glacier maintains a 0.0% success rate on the magnificent objectives that are accessed there (Latok 3, Latok I, Latok 2, Ogre 2, Ogre I). The snowpack this year in the Karakorum was the biggest since 1976, according to the locals, which made glacier-travel easy and ridge-climbing difficult. Here is a report on the most recent Choktoi failure:
Funded in part by a Mugs Stump Award, Josh Wharton (with his fiancé Erinn Kelly who would stay in base camp), Colin Haley and I left the States on June 9th to attempt the North Ridge of Latok 1 in Pakistan's Karakorum. After a week of traveling through Islamabad, Skardu and the four day trek up the Braldu and Panmah river valleys, we arrived at base camp on the upper Choktoi Glacier at 4560m, below the North Ridge.
We completed three acclimatization trips on nearby ridges and peaks. First we spent one night at 5000m on a ridge immediately above base camp. Our second trip involved three days retrieving Colin's gear cache at 5700m at the Ogre/Ogre II col, left behind during his 2008 attempt on the Southeast Buttress of the Ogre with Maxime Turgeon. Our third and final acclimatization mission took us to the summit of the High Sister at 5800m and an adjacent high glacial plateau where we spent two nights at 5850m.
At midnight on July 8th, with a forecast for three good days followed by a minor 24 hour storm, we started toward the base of the north ridge with three 32 pound packs. Our intended line climbed snow and ice on the east side of the ridge, intersecting the ridge at 6000m above the lower sections of heavily corniced and mushroomed ridge. We reached the base of the technical climbing at dawn and began belaying a 250m water ice step. Colin led the first block of grade 3 and 4 ice topping out on steep snow at 5450m. I led the following block of 60 degree snow and ice to the base of a steep mixed step at 5750m where Josh would take over. Our intended line continued up the steep mixed terrain above, which looked reasonable from base camp, but now appeared exceedingly difficult. We opted to climb a climb short mixed pitch followed by an arduous snow pitch (courtesy Colin, our unconsolidated snow master) to reach the ridge and a bivi near 5830m.
After stamping out a platform on the narrow double-corniced ridge we discussed our options. The ridge itself was impassable due to the sugary mushrooms and cornices, our only option for ascent was to traverse west off the ridge. From his 2008 attempt, Josh knew the terrain to the West was complex and difficult as well. We decided the climbing was too slow and difficult and the chances of summiting were too slim to justify continuing. We rappelled the lower northwest face the following day and returned to base camp and called in the porters. On our trek out from base camp, we met the Spanish alpinists, Alvaro Novellon and Oscar Perez hiking in to attempt the North ridge as well. May they have better luck than we did inshallah!
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Mugs Stump grant program for their generous support of our expedition. And I would personally like to thank my sponsors Arc'teryx, Adidas Eyewear, Black Diamond, Raw Revolution, Thermarest, MSR and Mountain House for providing the finest gear available.

I do not feel that it is that difficult to separate the two roles, BAM management and the Director of Coaching (DOC).
BAM has much wider authority and it empowers the DOC a specific area of responsibility with the necessary authority.
The problem, if any, is the role of the DOC. This is because a DOC has just one job, and a big one. THis may surprise some of you. The DOC's sole role is to develop and improve coaches so that players maximize their potential at all age. Does this role suit Park Joo-bong, considering his contract is only for 3 years? Can he hire and fire any coach to attain his objective? What are Park Joo-bong's own minimum requirements or power he should be demanding from BAM to be an effective DOC? To come in blind with too many loose ends to be resolved when problems crop up (playing by ear) is often the reason for playing the blame game when the DOC does not perform to expectation. This is one main reason why coaches who fail use as an 'escape' because he was not given enough power.
Assuming that you have nip the problem in the bud, what is the solution then? What do you propose to counter this problem of:
1. Park Joo Bong's under-qualified experience for the job
2. Park Joo Bong short term 3 years is too short a stint
3. Park Joo Bong coming in blind (how much are sure that he is blind or totally have no idea about how to go about planning?)
4. Coaches who fail because he is not given enough power (yes that is what we have been saying for ages because of too many cooks spoiling the broth). What you are bringing up is redundant. So what do you suggest?
5. Can he fire or hire coaches. (again this is up to BAM, this remains to be seen). If you are saying this is a problem, then virtually anyone in this position as a coach will foresee the same problem, not only Park Joo Bong.
I think I speak a lot for the badminton community who feels that the person in charge should be a technical person ie a coach, and not a corporate fella. Sure this coach answers to BAM, but at least, squares go to squares, circles go to circles. The head coach should be given enough authority that he can at least do his job without unnecessary meddling.
I cannot with certainty opine about what Park Joo-bong's job description sheet will be. But, I am certain that he is not suitable to be a true director of coaching, which is a much bigger job. Park will be an excellent coach for a specific area say under the closest thing we have today of a director of coaching, namely the sometimes hated but respected China 'Great One' (not Tong si-fu).
A DOC's sole job is to develop and improve coaches to maximize the potential of players of all groups, all ages, mainly to achieve long-term success than short-term wins. Yes, the job is like one in a successful corporation where there is a corporate culture with great depth so that there is always backup people to replace old 'champions' at all time.
Since this is specific to badminton, the DOC must of course have some technical background of the game but often past great players are not necessarily good DOC material because they come up short in other more important areas.
Maybe, Park Joo-bong will be better off limiting his job sheet to bringing short-term wins to Malaysia's men's singles and doubles for say less than 5-8 years. But a DOC's job is for longer periods of success and this takes time and the power to hire and fire coaches. Hiring and firing coaches and replacing them with better ones may bring better technical gains but this may disrupt the whole team's morale and commitment which may be even more costly and disastrous.
Take a look at China's 'Special One'. He has been on the job a long time. He has absolute power to hire and fire coaches yet he keeps the team's morale high and committed. Also, do you notice China's style of play? It has not changed because it has been an established playing style culture, which makes upward mobility of players seamless. Once you change a team's playing style every time you get a new chief coach this destroys the culture.
I am sure, if not disillusioned, that one of the main reasons Park is roped in is the hope that he can bring in results and gold for coming Olympics, which is within the time period of your 'short term' 5-8 years. This are the dire demands of BAM in response to public's growing uneasiness and unrest with BAM's lackadaisical attitude bordering on 'neither here nor there' awareness on management. In hindsight, even Nadzmi himself knows that he himself, or the High Performance Team is not up to the job, maybe even a sham in the first place. We all know that DOC's priority is to supply a continuous stock of 'batch talented players' that make the cut as seniors leave the scene to retire, but the fact is BAM has been returning empty handed in terms of 'quantity and quality' players reflecting a dire need of transformation in management after sitting on the management throne for more than 10years. In other words, helming with no real results to shout about. This is why Park is roped in. They need nothing short of a miracle. I'm sure they had considered local coaches but the fact is, BAM's desperation speaks for itself.
We do not know how long BAM will employ Park, neither do we know the time period specified for Park to bring fruition. If let's say after 1 or 2 years BAM again blows wind in opposite direction for some reason we cannot comprehend, then is it Park's fault? So the main point here is how much time is allocated to Park to produce prototypes.
On whether Park is suitable for the job, I rather say it is the 'time' factor and not his 'qualification' factor. Do you even know what is paper qualification is as a coach, excluding his achievement as a player? He now has a Phd in sports science. Now you mentioned that in the past, great players do not necessarily turn out to be a great coach. This applies to all sports. But would you rather have a doctor treating a patient, than 'NOT' one treating a sick person. Same applies to sport, although a great player does not necessarily becomes a great teacher, so does that mean that all past great players are automatically given that sentence? You might want to ask yourself where you are heading with this 'conclusion' here. Or perhaps you are saying BAM should in fact be spending the $$$ on their own cronies.
You mentioned hiring and firing coaches disrupts team morale and commitment. I am surprised to hear that coming from you, a high ranking manager managing a big firm as human resource coming and going is a natural part of the scenario of a corporate sector. First of all, in any post, the respect for the person given the mandate to manage the coaching activities is utterly critical for work to be carried out, without which morale will dip. In fact it is the person(s) given the authority to handle but yet possessing no proper technical skills and experience whom players will not place respect on, hence the dip in morale and commitment which you mentioned. Still, I thank you for your contribution as now a little more picture is painted with your paint brush.

Well we all know Park Joo-bong was in Malaysia before and the results and subsequent standard of badminton speaks for itself. It is pointless blaming the other party for not achieving because a DOC, if he is worth his salt, would have negotiated all the terms of his employment before taking up the offer.
An ex-champion plus a Phd in sports science do not guarantee a good DOC. A good DOC should also be tops in interpersonal skills with coaches and the BAM management, and this requires great problem solving ability and managing disagreements.
Take a look at China, Korea and even Taiwan. They seem to have a consistent culture style of play with consistent performance from one generation to the next. Malaysia brings in one coach like Li Mao and then he leaves and Misbun takes over, resulting in a 'culture' shock in style for play for LCW. Now if you bring in another coach for LCW with a different culture there will be no seamless mobility from one generation to the next.
Perhaps, Park is best for short term problem for a temporary fix but future generation must then follow his style. Also whatever culture style for Malaysia must be suitable for Malaysians, using their strengths and minimizing their weaknesses. Power play and fighting spirit are not Malaysia's forte, so it best to adopt a style more suited to Malaysians.

No, not in the least despite what you feel. Malaysia's strengths are some where else. How about accuracy, foxy, a bit of flamboyance and unpredictability, and excellence in techniques or even patience? Also take what you learn from the 'open house' type of comradeship to the team. The key person to this last one is the DOC but he must have the interpersonal skills and the command of respect from the others.
limsy, I have started off and provided some sort of a crutch for you to join us in the discussion in greater depth. Why the deafening silence? Do you think the solution is to simply kick out the BAM management and for you and your team to take over?
if they really want public to start believe they are changing or willing to change(ubah is opposition slogan,wakakaka)
the 1st thing to do is clear all the aftermath for those misconduct and failure.
u can change the outfit of proton saga to nissan gtr
but still slow,because the engine is the same.
if we achieve better after PJB become DOC than now,it only because of the REGRESSION TOWARD THE AVERAGE (part of the illusion control theory from psychology).
limsy liked this post
limsy and others, can you please pull your resources together and come up with problems-I mean real problems like areas in which BAM and Malaysian badminton have not achieved.
Please identify the goals that have not been achieved but they must be goals that are reasonably expected of Malaysia.
Do not sidestep the real issues here by talking politics, corruption, etc., etc. because this forum is not about elections 'bull....'. If you go on running riot on 'hot air' and outpouring of deep-seated hatred, then maybe you need to look at yourself closer home and I mean much closer home within your arm's length.
If you cannot identify the problems then you are out of your depth here. The same applies if you cannot even identify country's badminton goals.
then why dont u tell us what did bam achieved and what goal they reached?
if u cant even give an example,this mean they yet to achieve or reach any goal.
its like asking someone to proof 1+1=2
if u cant proof 1+1 is not 2,then 1+1=2 is correct.no?
Hmmm ... I am just surprised that there are still Malaysians who believed that Malaysia can still win the Thomas Cup /Sudirman Cup /Uber Cup (team events) in the future .... For me, 1992, was a ONE-OFF FLUKE ...
Note that there will always be one or two exceptional indvidual players emerging (like Lee Chong Wei) BUT as a team with depth and strong in 2nd and 3rd singles and both doubles, capable of winning the cups, nope, I cannot see it ....
But, like all Malaysians, I enjoy my badminton , just like I enjoy watching English football every weekend while fully accepting the fact that Malaysian football is total CRAP !! Malaysian badminton is heading the same way too ...
SO, just have fun and enjoy the game, BAM is going down the same hole as FAM ... and there is nothing we can do about it, so long as the POLITICANS are running the show ...Last edited by maxout; 10-08-2012 at 02:51 AM.
Actually I have no problem with BAM's overall performance. After all it is still one of the top ranked badminton powers in the men's.
You can forget about Malaysia reclaiming to be world #1 or #2. Unlike in the past when the game was played by a handful of countries and even then by a handful of players in those countries, Malaysia had bragging rights., today the rest of the world has overtaken Malaysia. Is this a surprise?
Now, since you are the one who says BAM has failed the country please tell us how, where, and how?
Now, don't 'chicken' out and play the same old game of avoiding answering by asking more irrelevant questions. I am beginning to think there is something missing in your thinking machine.
so who are the one who chicken out?
i asked u about what had bam achieved,LAST MONTH
then u disappear for more than one week.
then i ask u again now,but still u cannot answer.
u said u have no problem with bam overall performance.
but u cant even tell us ONE thing that bam done nicely?
or u want to reply the post 949th? which u avoid to give any respond
since u said u own some big company
sure u know alot about business and economy.

Like that doomed old Roman Empire itself, Soho, NYC, was once a towering bastion of culture and sophistication, eventually brought low by shameless decadence, disdainful treatment of the commoners and the insatiable greed of the landed classes.

Since I received the telemetry unit I can't get them to connect no matter what I try from all the forum posts.
When I try to connect with the APM Planner software ver. 1.191 or 3DR Radio config util. I get the following:
Using the Connection Mavlink button in the top right with proper com port (6 for tx or 8 for rx) and 57600 baud always fails giving "No Heartbeat Packets Received'. When I load the Tx or Rx(with FTDI cable) I have identical values because I have updated the firmware for each.
With both Tx and Rx connected to PC(Win7 x64) I get (.5 second) blinking green lights.
If I connect Tx to PC and Rx to my model(APM2) the Tx has blinking green light (solid for about 3seconds and then two one second blinks) and Rx has blinking green on with bright fast blinking red light.
I have APM2 with 3DR 915Mhz telemetry.
Pic of FTDI connection:
Can anyone suggest some next steps? Thank you.
I'm using a 3S Lipo, power is routed through a single Turnigy Plush 30A BEC - 2A/5V Ver.3.1 to the APM2 motor 1 connection with the standard servo type cable and then to the air module with the supplied cable. The power at the end of the connector for the air module reads 4.61v.
Depending on your peek servo draw, a 2A BEC might be underpowered, you might be at risk under the perfect situation, of brownouts. I'd avoid attacking hungry LED strips, VTX, or anything that might push you over the limits. However, this is more than enough power to drive the APM2, RX, and 3DR Radios on the bench (and smaller servos in the air, too) Your BEC and voltage readings look normal, I see 4.9 at the servo rail, and 4.68 at the radio myself with a CC BEC. So that is not the issue.
Thanks, I will be returning it on an RMA tomorrow. Thanks for your assistance.
Got it back today and it works like a charm. They replaced the air side module because they found the current draw was a little low.
Hi Steve,
I have the same radios as yours. Based on your pictures above, I can see some wrong connections namely:
1. For the "air" module attached to the APM2, if you look at the reverse side of the board you will see the pin config. The ground is the left most part of the board. So based on your photo above, you must reverse the cable facing you now with the black cable(nearest the red cable) connected to the ground pin (which is nearest the edge). You must look closer at the back of the module with a magnifier and enough light to see the pin configurations and properly connect the cable to the APM2.
2. Your FTDI cable is also reversed. The ground side of the radio is nearest the edge of the board.
Sorry for the delay in responding to this thread. Looks like everything is okay now with your radios and you were able to sort the wiring correctly.
Oops. Your unit has the purple board which is the older model. Glad to know though that your units are now working.
I had a problem in the last 2 days also. We have a balloon launch in a few days and we really needed to get this fixed.
(yes...it is fixed)
Our problem turned out to be (as usual) a dumb stupid mistake. We have a Sparkfun data logger on the same port. Used to work great. On the data logger someone unplugged the APM2 TX data line from the data logger's RX input line and put the APM2's TX line on ground ! Needless to say, when you ground the 3DR radio's TX line, things don't work so well !
So in our case, putting the data loggers and APM2's tx to rx made it work just fine again.
Hope you guys track our APM2 going up to 100,000 feet for the 4th time !
Look on the website http://APRS.fi looking for callsign KE5VSH-1 at 16:00 UTC on Monday 7/2/12 !!
I just got a 3dr radio 915
Its communicates while connected with the FTDI meaning solid green led/
But no communication on wireless meaning flash green led.
Does any body know whats the problem?
