Connecting flight at DallasNov 25, 201310Hi - my son travels from Sydney to Dallas on 29 Nov arr 1.45 Terminal D. He then departs for Charlotte NC on United Airlines 3071 at 15.54. What is procedure and does he have enough time to catch connecting flight?Layne17posted on Mon, Nov 25Note that United does not fly from Dallas to Charlotte. His flight is actually US Airways flight 1954. Upon arrival in Dallas he will clear US immigration, claim his bags, and go through US Customs. If his bags are checked through to his US Airways flight he will then be able to re-check his bags at the re-check desk in Terminal D. If he already has his US Airways boarding pass (he can possibly print it out before departure from Sydney) he then can go through security in Terminal D and then take the Skylink train to Terminal E. If he can't get his US Airways boarding pass for whatever reason until he gets to Dallas or if his bags aren't tagged through to Charlotte in Sydney, he will have to take the Terminal Link shuttle van from Terminal D to Terminal E and then check-in with US Airways.ZAPposted on Mon, Nov 25

Need assiatnce on connecting flight at dallasNov 20, 201330Hi, i am travelling from London to Dallas in British Airways from there i need to take my connecting flight to Minneapolis by American Eagle . Can i get any paid assistance at the airport to guide me to my domestic flight , also do i need to recheckin my baggage or it will be automaticlly transferred to American Eagle .Surenposted on Tue, Nov 19It's pretty simple, you shouldn't need anyone to assist you (nor is there such a service available). All you do is go through US Immigration, claim your baggage, go through US customs, drop your bags back off at the re-check desk, then go upstairs and through security then take the Skylink train to the gate for your departing flight to MSP.ZAPposted on Tue, Nov 19Thanks , can i get any temporary phone to talk to my friends and get guided...surenposted on Tue, Nov 19
Connection TimeNov 19, 201310I am arriving at Terminal A from Wichita and departing from Terminal D for London with a 45 min. layover. What is the best way to get to Terminal D. This is my first overseas trip, what is the procedure to get on the plane bound for London? Do we have to do anything extra that you don't normally do on a domestic flight? I'm assuming our luggage is transfered for us since both flights are American, is that true?KSposted on Tue, Nov 19Yes, your bags will be checked through to London in Wichita. On your way to London the transfer is just like a domestic flight, you will take the SkyLink Train between terminals, which runs inside security. On your way home from London is when it is different, In Dallas, you will go through US Immigration, claim your baggage, go though US Customs, re-check your baggage at the re-check desk, then go through security and then take the Skylink Train to your departure gate to Wichita.ZAPposted on Tue, Nov 19
Connection Info neededNov 11, 201320I booked a ticket from Boston to Sydney with Qantas. I fly from Boston Logan (codeshare, operated by American Airlines) and arrive at Dallas/Fort Worth Intl at 8:40pm and then fly from Dallas/Fort Worth Intl to Sydney departing terminal D at 10.00pm. Can you please guide me through the connection process at DFW (eg what terminal I will likely arrive in from Boston Logan, will i need to go through immigration/security, will I need to re-check my luggage at DWF or will AA make sure my luggage goes through to Sydney once I check in at Boston etc)?alexjrhposted on Sun, Nov 10You will arrive in Terminal A, C, or D (likely A or C). All you have to do upon arrival in DFW all you have to do is go from your arrival terminal (if it is not D) to Terminal D via the SkyLink train, which runs inside security. You won't have to go through any immigration or security or do anything with your baggage. Your baggage will be checked through to Sydney in Boston.ZAPposted on Sun, Nov 10
Baggage transferOct 13, 201310Hi Flying into DFW from Dubai on Emirates then on to St Louis with AA. Have a 3 hour connection time. I realise I clear customs in terminal D and have to collect my bags but what I am not sure of, is there a baggage recheck in at customs terminal D for AA or do I have to lug my bags all the way to terminal A for check in. I don't exactly travel light and I am in my own. First time connecting through DFW. I just can't seem to find this info anywhere.Fizamposted on Sat, Oct 121. If you booked both flights on one ticket, your bags are being transferred automatically after customs clearance & re-check. 2. If booked separately, you would have to take your bags to your connecting Terminal A and check them in with AA (as Emirates & AA do not belong to the same airline alliance - you could use Skycap assistance in this case). 3. To connect from TD to TA, take the free Skylink train (inside the post-security areas) starting at TD's gates D2, D20, D25 & D34, and connecting to the TA Skylink stations between gates A13-16 & A29-34.suoct13posted on Sun, Oct 13
San diego to dallas to londonSep 30, 201350Hi I will be arriing to dallas fro San diego on way to London. Can I do through checkin or do I need to recheckin? Will be travelling by British airways. I have only 90min transit time. Is that ok?adarshposted on Sat, Sep 28Yes, American should check your bags through to British Airways. In Dallas, you will arrive in terminal A or C and then take the SkyLink Train to Terminal D for your British Airways flight.ZAPposted on Sat, Sep 28thanks. I will be travelling from san diego to dallas to London through British airways only. Can I do through checkin at San Diego or do I need to checkin again as my port of exit will be Dallas. Where will my immigration be at San Diego or Dallas? Thanks in advanceadarshposted on Sat, Sep 28British Airways will not operate your San Diego-Dallas flight. American Airlines will. American should be able to give you both of your boarding passes and check your bags through to London in San Diego. On the way to San Diego you will go through US immigration in Dallas. On the way back to London you will only go through UK immigration in London (no US immigration).ZAPposted on Sun, Sep 29Thanks a lot. Is 90 min enough in case I need to recheck in? If I miss flight do they arrange for next?adarshposted on Sun, Sep 29
dxb-dfw-denOct 1, 201360i will be traveling to denver via dallas airport with 4 hrs layover in november. my flight reaches at 9 am in terminal d. could you please guide me the process from exiting the plane. is it the immigration first to clear ? and will my baggage claim be in the same terminal ? will there be signs indicating how to move around. and for the re check in of bags, will it be in the same area where im picking it up ? and after i finsh with the customs too, i need to go to terminal A for the AA flight to denver, do i take the skylink for tht ? how long approx would all this take ?jasminetposted on Fri, Sep 27You will go through immigration, claim your baggage, go through customs, and then re-check your bags. You do NOT need to go to Terminal A for your AA flight to Denver. There is AA check-in in Terminal D that you can use. You can then take the skylink to your departure terminal, which you will not know until the day of your flight.ZAPposted on Fri, Sep 27thnk u for ur reply. will the baggage claim be near the gate i exit from the plane ? so i must do the check in in the AA counter in terminal D itself and thn only go to the terminal d for my departure right ? is the terminal d allowable for eating spots and wifi ?jasminetposted on Fri, Sep 27The baggage claim will be in immigration, it will be kind of a walk. You will go back through security in Terminal D after you check in with AA, your flight will probably not depart from D, so you will take the skylink train to your departure terminal. There is food after security in every terminal.ZAPposted on Fri, Sep 27yes sorry, I meant my departure is from the terminal a not from d. Will I be given any information on the plane or in the airport from which gate im supposed to collect the baggage from ? and will there be anyone for assistance to help me with the bags ? is there a trolley service ? and I believe il be given my boarding pass at the aa check in counter right ? appreciate ur reply.jasminetposted on Sun, Sep 29You will be funneled into immigration when you arrive in Dallas and the baggage claim will be easy to find. You shouldn't need a trolley - you won't have to take your bags that far (just through customs, then upstairs in Terminal D to check them with American). Yes, you will get your AA boarding pass there. Also be aware that you will have to pay a baggage fee to check your bags with American since that portion of your flight is a domestic itinerary.ZAPposted on Mon, Sep 30
SYD/DFW/TAMPAAug 29, 201341My daughter is flying on 8 Dec with Qantas from Sydney to Dallas arriving at 1.45 at Terminal D. Her connecting American Airlines flight to Tampa leaves at 3.10 and we have no idea from which Terminal it will be departing. Its her first "solo" flight and she is very concerned about what she needs to do upon arrival, how and where to check her luggage onto the Tampa flight and most importantly, can it be done within that time frame?newieposted on Wed, Aug 28She will definitely need to hurry. On arrival she will go through US immigration, then claim her bags, then go through customs, then immediately re-check her bags with American. She will then go upstairs and back through security. Her flight to Tampa will likely leave from Terminal A, but could also be from C or D. If she has to change terminals, she will have to take the SkyLink Train, which runs inside security between all terminals. If she misses her connection then American has several later flights to Tampa she can be rebooked on.ZAPposted on Wed, Aug 281 person likes this post [ Like ]Thanks for your helpful information. I have another question. I am flying Tucson/DFW/Tampa also on the 8 Dec (having arrived in the USA 2 weeks earlier) and arrive 30mins prior to my daughter. I am booked on the same flight as my daughter from DFW/Tampa. Where would be the closest point that I could meet her, after she has cleared customs, so that I can assist her in finding her way to the Terminal from which we will be departing? Although I'm seriously considering changing our flight to Tampa to a later time based on the comments I've read on this forum :(newieposted on Thu, Aug 29You can make your connection without going through security again, but if you want to meet your daughter when she exits customs, you will have to go to Terminal D baggage claim. The exit from customs should be fairly obvious.ZAPposted on Thu, Aug 29
LHR > DFW > TYRAug 23, 201310So American have changed my flight and I should be arriving in DFW 1.40pm but my flight to Tyler is at 3.25pm, will I make it? and will I have to go through security again?Hemziposted on Fri, Aug 23That should be enough time but you'll have to hurry. You'll go through immigration, then claim your bags, go through customs, then re-check them, then go back through security in Terminal D, then you will likely take the SkyLink Train to Terminal B as that appears to be where all the flights to Tyler depart from. If you miss your connection AA does have later flights from DFW to TYR that you can be rebooked on.ZAPposted on Fri, Aug 23
flight connectionAug 13, 201320hi I am arriving from mexico to dallas at 11 am but my flight to seoul departas at 12:10 from what I heard I dont have enought time for connection is that right?sclefranvposted on Fri, Aug 9Yes, while it is possible as both flights will be in the same terminal, that is a very tight connection and it will be very difficult to get through immigration, customs, security, and back to your gate in that time.ZAPposted on Fri, Aug 9I thought that we would have a 3 hour layover in which to go through the recheck at Dallas. Between a delay on arrival and the understaffed AA terminal, we now have about 30 minutes to get through this line and security. We have been waiting to recheck for about 1 hour 20 minutes.Melgalposted on Tue, Aug 13
Connecting through DFWJul 10, 201310I am flying to Palm Springs from Toronto, Canada via DFW, The connection time is only 1hr 5min. I go through customs in Toronto but do I have to pass through security or recheck my bag in DFW?BP77posted on Wed, Jul 10
Transfer to OrlandoJul 5, 201310Hi guys, we'r flying into DFW from London in April connecting to Orlando will 3 hours be enough time? would anyone have any idea which terminals aa use ?thanksLisa_leeleeposted on Fri, Jul 5First -3 hrs is plenty of time. On arrival a DFW at International Terminal D you will need to go through passport control, pick up bags, go through customs clearance & re-check-in your bags. The Skylink train at post-security gets you to your connecting flight. To familiarize yourself with the terminal layout & transfers, I suggest you open www.ifly.com/dfw and click on 'Terminal Map' under Quick Links, then scroll down to the detailed text.frjul13posted on Fri, Jul 5
SYD-DFW-CUN connection.Jun 11, 201341I'm wondring if anybody knows if I can tag my luggage from SYD via DFW to CUN. Flying Qantas and connect with American. My transit time is 3hrs. Do I need to clear customs or do I stay in the security area? Do I collect my bags and check in again? That seems wrong - right ? Both airlines arrive and depart from terminal D. Thanks Cheers PatrickPPWposted on Sat, Jun 81 person likes this post [ Like ]1. Both AA & Qantas are members of the OneWorld Alliance - your bags will be transferred automatically to your connecting flights. 2. As an international arrival, you need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and - if transferring to another flight - re-check-in bag. Terminal D has gates gates D6-D40 - you can walk or take the Skylink train, which stops near gates D1, D20, D25 & D34. Food & shops are in both pre- and post-security areas. You have plenty of time!sajun13posted on Sat, Jun 8Thanks for the info. So you saying I need to check in again? ( International to international connection? ) Sorry mate, it has been a while since I traveled through the States. TaPPWposted on Sat, Jun 8QANTAS should be able to issue you both boarding passes in Sydney.ZAPposted on Sun, Jun 9Yes, you need to check again, well it's more like a drop off... Arrive -> immigration -> pick up bags -> customs -> drop off bags -> security (x-ray, metal detector etc) -> new flight I do this all the time 3 hours sounds like enough, but not by much, DFW is SUPER slowJoeposted on Tue, Jun 11

You are required to gain clearance, otherwise the owner of that sample could demand payment from you. From this useful article on emusician.com: | |||||||||
Another option would be to ask those artists where they found those royalty-free samples.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Covenant and Conversation - Charity as Justice
Britain's Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
If you seek to understand Judaism's social vision, look at its anti-poverty legislation.
"If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the Lord your G-d is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tight-fisted toward your poor brother. Rather be open-handed and freely lend him sufficient for his needs in that which he lacks. Be careful not to harbour this wicked thought: "The seventh year, the year for cancelling debts, is near," so that you do not show ill will toward your needy brother and give him nothing. He may then appeal to the Lord against you, and you will be found guilty of sin. Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your G-d will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be open-handed toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land." (Deut 15: 7-11)
Ostensibly the passage is about the cancellation of debts in the seventh year (shemittah, the year of "release"). The oral tradition, however, extended it to the laws of tzedakah - the word usually translated as "charity" but which also means "distributive justice, equity". The rabbis interpreted the phrase "sufficient for his needs" to mean the basic requirements of existence: food, clothing, shelter and so on. "That which he lacks" was understood as referring to a person who was previously wealthy but has now become impoverished. He too must be helped to recover his dignity:
It is related about Hillel the Elder that, for a certain poor man who was of good family, he bought a horse to ride on and a slave to run before him. When on one occasion he could not find a slave to run before the man, he himself ran before him. (Ketubot 67b)
The force of this passage lies in the fact that Hillel himself was notoriously poor, yet he gave of his money and time to help a rich man who had lost his money regain his self-respect.
This double aspect is evident throughout the laws of tzedakah. On the one hand, they are directed to the brute fact of poverty. No one must be deprived of basic physical necessities. On the other, they address with astonishing sensitivity the psychology of poverty. It demeans, embarrasses, humiliates, shames. Tzedakah, ruled the rabbis, must be given in such a way as to minimize these feelings:
When Rabbi Yannai saw a certain man giving a coin to a poor person in front of everyone, he said: It would have been better not to have given it to him than to have given it and put him to shame. (Hagigah 5b)
In a famous passage, Maimonides describes the eight levels of charity:
There are eight degrees of charity, one higher than the other.
The highest degree, exceeded by none, is that of one who assists a poor person by providing him with a gift or a loan or by accepting him into a business partnership or by helping him find employment - in a word by putting him in a situation where he can dispense with other people's aid. With reference to such aid it is said, 'You shall strengthen him, be he a stranger or a settler, he shall live with you' (Lev. 25: 35), which means: strengthen him in such a manner that his falling into want is prevented.
A step below this is the one who gives alms to the needy in such a way that the giver does not know to whom he gives and the recipient does not know from whom he takes. This exemplifies doing a good deed for its own sake. One example was the Hall of Secrecy in the Temple, where the righteous would place their gift clandestinely and where poor people from noble families could come and secretly help themselves to aid. Close to this is dropping money in a charity box . . .
One step lower is where the giver knows to whom he gives, but the poor person does not know from whom he receives. Thus the great sages would go and secretly put money into poor people's doorways . . .
A step lower is the case where the poor person knows from whom he is taking, but the giver does not known to whom he is giving. Thus the great sages would tie coins in their scarves, which they would fling over their shoulders, so that the poor could help themselves without suffering shame.
Lower than this, is where someone gives the poor person a gift before he asks.
Lower still is one who gives only after the poor person asks.
Lower than this is one who gives less than is fitting, but does so with a friendly countenance.
The lowest level is one who gives ungraciously. (Mattenot Ani'im 10: 7-14)
This exquisitely calibrated ethic is shot through with psychological insight. What matters is not only how much you give, but also how you do so. Anonymity in the giving of aid is essential to dignity. The poor must not be embarrassed. The rich must not be allowed to feel superior. We give, not to take pride in our generosity, still less to emphasise the dependency of others, but because we belong to a covenant of human solidarity, and because that is what G-d wants us to do, honouring the trust through which he has temporarily lent us wealth in the first place.
Especially noteworthy is Maimonides' insistence that giving somebody a job, or the means to start a business, is the highest charity of all. What is humiliating about poverty is dependence itself: the feeling of being beholden to others. One of the sharpest expressions of this is to be found in the Grace after Meals, when we say, "We beseech You, G-d our Lord, let us not be in need of the gifts of men or of their loans, but only of Your helping hand . . . so that we may not be put to shame nor humiliated for ever and ever." The greatest act of tzedakah is one that allows the individual to become self-sufficient. The highest form of charity is one that enables the individual to dispense with charity. From the point of view of the giver, this is one of the least financially demanding forms of giving. It may not cost him anything at all. But from the point of view of the recipient, it is the most dignifying, because it removes the shame of receiving. Humanitarian relief is essential in the short-term, but in the long-run, job creation and economic policies that promote full employment are more important.
One detail of Jewish law is particularly noteworthy: even a person dependent on tzedakah must himself or herself give tzedakah. On the face of it, the rule is absurd. Why give X enough money so that he can give to Y? Giving to Y directly is more logical and efficient. What the rabbis understood, however, is that giving is an essential part of human dignity. The rabbinic insistence that the community provide the poor with enough money so that they themselves can give is a profound insight into the human condition.
Jewry has had many distinguished economists, from David Ricardo (whom Keynes called the greatest mind that ever addressed itself to economics), to John von Neumann (a physicist who, in his spare time, invented Game Theory), to Paul Samuelson, Milton Friedman and Alan Greenspan. They have won an astonishing 38% of Nobel prizes in the field. Why should this have been so? Perhaps because Jews have long known that economics is one of the fundamental determinants of a society; that economic systems are not written into the structure of the universe, but are constructed by human beings and can be changed by human beings; and thus that poverty is not a fact of nature but can be alleviated, minimized, reduced. Economics is not a religious discipline. It is a secular art and science. Yet, deeply underlying the Jewish passion for economics is a religious imperative: "There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be open-handed toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land."
The Poverty of Affluence
BBC Radio 4- Thought For The Day
8 December 2006
Two days ago as the chancellor was delivering his pre budget report I joined some 500 politicians, policy makers, heads of charities and religious leaders at a national poverty hearing. And it was sobering to hear first hand testimony from some of the people who live in real hardship: the homeless, the elderly, those caught in the trap of low incomes, and no less than 3.4 million children in Britain.
Ask most people where poverty is and instinctively they say: Africa. It's as if we have a kind of moral longsightedness that allows us to see destitution in the distance quite clearly, but only vaguely if at all when it's close. Perhaps living standards for most have moved so far so fast that we forget the people left behind.
And as I left the conference hall and walked through the streets of central London with their bright lights and shop windows full of expensive objects the sheer dissonance hit me and into my mind flashed the words: the poverty of affluence – what happens to a culture when its cathedrals are shopping centres, its sacred texts are glossy catalogues, its hymns advertising jingles, its sacred task to make us want what we don't need.
I thought of the wonderful remark of my predecessor, the late Lord Jakobovits who used to say that the most material thing he could think of was soil, and the most spiritual thing he knew was the soul. Soil and soul he said contain almost the same letters with one difference. The material has an I, the spiritual a U. A consumer culture focuses on me and my desires. Which is why we need the counterbalance of the soul: sensitivity to the needs of others.
There's a biblical word, Tzedakah, charity-as-justice, for which there's no real English equivalent because we think of these as two quite different things. If someone gives you a hundred pounds because he owes it to you, that's justice. If he does so out of generosity, that's charity. An act can be one or the other but not both. But tzedakah means both: charity and justice, because we believe that giving isn't an option but an obligation.
So while you're thinking about what to give someone who has everything, think also about what you could give to those in Britain who have almost nothing; the difference a generous gesture might make. Because poverty isn't just a place in Africa. It's a street not far from where you live.

Parents of teens find that they are often placed in situations that make them uncomfortable. Certain topics make parents queasy to talk about, regardless of how important the subject matter. Perhaps it is normal to not want to admit your children are old enough to discuss a topic, or maybe you just don't want them to think you are overbearing or uncool.
Whatever the case, the subject is still crucial to discuss if you want them to understand the importance of the topic. One of these topics that give parents cause to shudder is drinking and driving. For most parents, the thought of their teen driving is scary enough; the thought of them driving under the influence is unbearable. It is for this very reason that you, as a parent, must overcome the fear of talking to your teen about the subject and address it as soon as possible.
Research the Internet and Share Your Findings
Scanning the Internet for DUI related tragedies involving teens is sadly too easy to accomplish. There are stories from around the country that are relevant to this issue on an almost daily basis. Find an article that is applicable and bring it up to your child to discuss. As you talk about the event, it will lead to the conversation on why drinking and driving is wrong.
Use a Video or Other Resources
There are many videos available that discuss the impact that drinking and driving has on teenagers. While this may give your teen a reason to sigh, it will also present an opportunity for them to talk to you about the how they feel about the problem. In addition, you can utilize other unconventional resources that might hit closer to home; such as a DUI attorney, funeral director, or emergency room nurse. All of these individuals can share first hand accounts of teen DUI tragedies.
Driving Rules for Your Home
You can begin with a light matter, such as when your teen has access to the family car. This can easily lead into the topic of drinking and driving. Use this time to ask your teen what they know about the subject, or how they feel about someone driving under the influence. In most cases you will be surprised and pleased with the answer In addition, it can also provide an opportunity to get feedback from your kids regarding what rules they feel are acceptable, as well. However, if your teen believes a rule to be unfair or too childish, they are more inclined to break it.
With this said, providing an open forum can make way for a more compatible plan for your family.
Another topic for house rules can include what to do when there's drinking at a party. Make it easy for your teen to avoid drinking and driving or leaving with a driver that is under the influence. Let them know that you will come get them, regardless and without punishment, if they promise to avoid being in a car with someone intoxicated or driving drunk.
What are Their Friends Saying?
As a parent, you have spent countless hours telling your young children not to relent to peer pressure. As the parent of a teen, you will probably have to double the amount of time on this subject. Allow them to share how their friends feel about drinking and driving as a way to gauge how they may honestly feel about the topic, as well as what influences they may be subjected to most.
In the end, it is a thin line between being your child's parent and friend. However, it is important for parents to overcome their fears of pushing them away or sounding too overbearing. Your teen still needs your guidance, perhaps now more than ever. They need to know you love them enough to talk to them about uncomfortable topics. In the long run, you'll be glad you did.
Jamica Bell is a freelance writer and mother of three teens and a mentor for at-risk teenagers. Steve E. Kellis is a Pennsylvania dui attorney who practices law because he believes that every citizen deserves the best possible defense when they are accused of a crime. An appropriate defense for a teenager should include retesting the blood by an independent lab to prove that the driver's blood alcohol content was actually less than the legal limit when they were behind the wheel.

Dial-Up Modems Still Ring a Bell
October 25, 2007 10:41 am | by Jon Titus, Senior Technical Editor | Articles | CommentsYears ago I ditched my 9600 bps modem, but I still rely on dial-up modems. Those modems exist in automated teller machines, gasoline pumps, traffic controllers, medical instruments, security systems, point-of-sale (POS) equipment, and other devices. According to several sources, dial-up modems still provide the largest number of access points to the Internet. Fortunately, several OEM vendors supply dial-up modem modules that offer drop-in communications in small packages.
Compiler Cuts Code in Half
October 23, 2007 11:01 am | Atmel Corporation | Product Releases | CommentsHi-Tech Software has announced a new compilation technology that generates object code based on call- and pointer-reference graphs derived from all the modules in an embedded program. The new technology, called Omniscient Code Generation (OCG), overcomes problems in conventional compilers that can miss inconsistent calling conventions, variable declarations and redundant code because they compile each module independently and separately. OCG results in more easily ported code that is nearly 50 percent more dense than code from competing compilers.

Dot NET: Embedded Development for the Rest of Us
September 17, 2007 12:52 pm | by John Leier, Digi International | Articles | CommentsOn a recent flight I talked with a software-engineering manager about the challenges of finding good embedded-system developers. She told me she has a team of 12 developers, but only three had proficiency with drivers, board-support packages, and boot-loaders. The other nine -- all good application developers -- lacked low-level coding experience. I asked if she had heard of the Microsoft .NET Micro Framework.
8-Bit MCUs Keep Going Strong
August 29, 2007 5:22 am | by Jon Titus, Senior Technical Editor | Articles | Comments"Cost still rules applications," said Ross Bannatyne, Marketing Director at Silicon Laboratories, a supplier of 8051-based MCUs. "If 8-bit MCUs solve problems, why use more expensive 32-bit chips?" Newer 8051 derivatives, for example, execute 100 MIPS and on-chip multiply-accumulate accelerators let them handle signal-processing tasks. According to Bannatyne, some engineers might not realize 32-bit MCUs can incur code penalties. "They might assume an algorithm that requires 16 KB in an 8-bit MCU also needs 16 KB in a 32-bit processor. Often the code takes more memory in the 32-bit processor, often much more."
Kits for Kids
July 30, 2007 7:57 am | by Jon Titus, Senior Technical Editor | Articles | CommentsAs a youngster I enjoyed wiring up circuits with knife switches, lamps, buzzers and large dry cells. While in high school I made frequent trips to surplus-electronics stores in New York City and ordered components from mail-order supply houses. My projects included a 4-bit binary adder -- built from switches and relays -- and a tic-tac-toe machine. I also built my share of kits from Knight, Eico and Heath. My friend Bill Kuhn designed and built relay-logic learning machines.
Serial Buses Free I/O Pins

An Introduction to RapidIO
June 4, 2007 7:07 am | by Tom Cox, Executive Director, RapidIO Trade Association | Articles | CommentsYears ago, designers involved with high-performance computer systems realized the parallel-bus structures found in most computers had run their course. New computer systems, such as those based on VME64x, move data across switched-fabric networks. Unlike a bus that connects all boards to all signals, a switched-fabric network routes communications through switches. Thus communications can take one of several high-speed paths and no longer create a bus bottleneck. In this context, "fabric" implies a point-to-point network that designers can "scale" to accommodate thousands of nodes. But a fabric does not imply the use of a specific hardware or software architecture.
Timeless Sensor Sources

Some of this information may seem "old," so you may not know about these sources or an Internet search will not find them.
Rotary Encoders take the Shaft
April 2, 2007 6:46 am | Product Releases | CommentsRotary shaft encoders convert an angular position into an electrical quantity or digital code that a computer can use to determine the location of a connected object. Encoders come in two varieties - absolute and incremental - and most rely on optoelectric or magnetic sensors. Both types divide a 360° rotation into hundred or thousands of equally spaced units, or counts. Thus, engineers can choose an angular resolution that meets their needs. An absolute encoder indicates a specific position within the shaft's 360° rotation and an incremental position indicates the change in rotation from one position to another. (You also can derive velocity and acceleration from encoder signals.)

Customer Reviews
- Works for Me Review by Catherine
Price Value Quality I have very oily skin and this has been my go-to product for several years. It works without drying out my skin, and is very lightweight. I do have to say that it works for me much better in the winter than in the summertime, as I've noticed that my skin gets oilier a lot faster in hot weather.
- Awesome! Review by Bethany
Price Value Quality This stuff is awesome. You only need a small amount; each bottle lasts me 3-4 months. And if you use it over time, it actually seems to make your skin produce less oil. This is the ONLY thing that has worked for me...I have insanely oily skin. Used to have to use blotter papers every 2 hours to keep from looking disgusting. Now I hardly use them at all and my skin glows!
- Best product ever!!!!!!!!!! Review by Tammy
Price Value Quality Tease Zone oil control gel is the best product I've ever tried for my oily skin. I put it on and my skin looks flawless. My make-up goes on a lot smoother without all the oiliness, and stays fresh-looking longer. I wouldn't leave home without it and hope I never will have to. Please keep this product in stock forever; it's a life necessity for me!
- Great for non-shiny forehead in photos! Review by Shine free for photos
Price Value Quality I've had the forehead shine in photos for years... this will fix it!! Expensive, but I use it everyday.
- No Oily Skin Now! Review by Greta
Price Value Quality I have been using Tease Zone oil control gel for many years. It is by far the best product I have ever found or used to control oily skin. I apply it every morning after I put on my make up and it works all day to absorb oil and control shine. It eliminates the need to constantly reapply powder to control excess oil and shine. I don't have to worry about how my skin looks throughout the day. I highly recommend this product to anyone who battles oily skin.
- Excellent product. Review by arantius
Price Value Quality Tease Zone works amazingly. I suffered with very oily skin and unattractive shine for many many years and finally fed up I searched the internet and thought I'd give this product a go. I use it first thing in the morning (after moisturising but before make-up) and it holds oil at bay for at least 4 hours, then I re-apply it right over my make-up and it keeps me oil-free for the rest of the day and evening. I take it with me everywhere and I have a whole new always matte face. I feel so much better for it, thank you DERMAdoctor.
- Allergic! Review by Ginger
Value Quality Price Unfortunately, I cannot use this product. I am allergic to something in it--it gives me eczema around my eyes. This happens with a lot of products, so it's not unusual. I'm just disappointed, because I could really use what this product provides! Just know that if you are allergic to alot of face products, this one too may cause problems... even though it says its been allergy tested.
- Waste of Money Review by Gummi123
Price Value Quality Please do not waste your money, it does absolutely nothing to control oil and It will not surprise me if they dermadoctor don't post my review on their website. I have tried many products and Tease Zone oil control is far the worst!!!!!
- Tease zone product Review by Texas oil slick
Quality Price Value I have been using tease zone for four years now. The high humidity causes my oily skin to really shine and collect a lot of dirt in my pores as I am outdoors a lot and sweat due to the really hot weather here in Texas. I highly recommend tease zone to control oil especially when using sunblock on your face and neck. I love this product and would not be without it . Use sparingly and you will not get the white streaks when it drys.
- Great product! Review by Oil zone
Quality Price Value I have tried many products claiming to control my T-zone oil. From cheap to very expensive. This product is the best. I don't have to touch up at all during the day. Not even in the mist of mid summer. This is when you could literally fry an egg on my forehead. T-zone oil is no longer one of my skin problems. The only problem I have, is that it is hard to find in my city. I have to order it from the web site.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by HorseLuver13 Runs very small
I've had my eye on this shoe since it first came out and was $100, but I was hoping it would go on sale! I ordered the shoe in my normal size and I'm extremely disappointed. The shoe runs VERY small. I would order an entire size up when looking at the "Milly" collection. It's also a little narrow and I have a pretty slim foot, and I can fit into my size with just about every shoe I try on. There is no padding on the side, just the fabric. Other reviews said that they get looser as you wear them; I'm hoping that's true, otherwise I will have to return them.

Heel is very high and rubs not a shoe I would recommend or buy again
September 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 This is an amazing product
I love how adorable these shoes are. My only complaint is that they fit a bit narrow, and are not comfortable until you break them in. After wearing them for the first time, I had blisters within the first five minutes of walking. After I broke them in, I didn't have many problems with comfort.
They are probably the cutest shoes I have ever owned. You wouldn't believe how many complements I received when I wore them. They have excellent quality, too. As a matter of fact I still own mine and they look great. Overall, they are amazing shoes. I would highly recommend them and I hope to see many more shoes made just like these.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Coolchick247 LOVE. THE. PATTERN!!!
These shoes are too cute!! I love the colorful pattern!! They are taking a minute to break in; I'm hoping it'll happen soon!! The folks at Sperry are super nice with impeccable customer service!!

Link to Chat Applet, Please?
Would it be possible to put a link for the chat applet up in the welcome box or with the other default links (i.e., calendar, FAQ, Search, Memberlist,...) on the unforum web pages?
When I started playing ARGs a little over a year ago, I didn't even know there was such a thing, and I ended up irritating some of the other players since many (most?) preferred to have general discussions in chats rather than cluttering up the main boards for a game--which I entirely understand. Even now that I know that they exist, though, it took me a while to find the link to the applet.
Please know that this request is not criticism--I'm deeply grateful for all of you who do the work in maintaining this website!

Thanks for the quick reply.. Apparently Rogi Ocnorb already made the ophiuchus channel and I am there now. Thanks.
Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2008 10:22 am
You guys should be able to make that on your own
If you've never started a room before, what you need to do is type in "/join #roomname." The first person in there will be designated a channel op.
The next thing you'll need to do is register the channel so that it doesn't go away if everyone leaves (or during a netsplit
). The way to do that is to message chanserv (this is where my memory gets fuzzy - I always have to type in "/chanserv help register" to get the correct commands).
If you need any help with this at all, drop into #unfiction and one of the channel ops or admins will be happy to help you guys register the channel and set up your operator list
Hope that helps!

How do I configure chatzilla to open at unfiction channels? Or can i even do this?
There are several ways to do this, but this is the easiest way to explain:
1) Get Chatzilla started
2) In the text input area along the bottom, type the following:
/server irc.chat-solutions.org
This should get you connected up to the irc.chat-solutions.org server, and if successful, you should see a tab labelled accordingly appear.
3) Right-click on that tab. and click on the menu item labelled Open This Network at Startup. From now on, chatzilla should automatically connect to irc.chat-solutions.org every time you start it.
4) To join a channel (e.g. #unfiction), type the following in the text input area:
/join #unfiction

SDB-XC is a poly(styrenedivinylbenzene) copolymer used as a reversed phase sorbent for solid phase extraction. SDB-XC is not bonded to silica but is a 100% copolymeric particle that is spherical, porous and cross-linked. It does not exhibit the secondary cationic (silanol) interactions and pH limitations common to bonded silica sorbents, so it offers more predictable and reproducible reversed phase interaction.

User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Cuddler Pregnancy Pillow
I have never slept so good in my life! I will probably use this pillow even after I have the baby!
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
I LOVE THIS PILLOW! I have had the best sleep with pillow during my second pregancy! I actually sleep ALL night and I am almost 8 months pregnant! This did not hapen in my first pregancy. I stay comfy all night, and I am not constantly looking for lost pillows in the bed. It's a bulky pillow, but I have even taken it camping!
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow

User Review for Today's Mom® COOLMAX Pregnancy Pillow
I'm pregnant with twins and my bed was filled with too many pillows. It was getting hard to get in and out of bed with adjusting all the pillows. I replaced all my pillows with just this one. It's extremely comfortable and also makes it easier to get in and out of bed.
Pregnancy Pillow
Good maternity pillows are hard to find. It's all about mom's comfort when it comes to a pregnancy pillow and BabyAge has the best pillows on the market.
Our Today's Mom Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow is like sleeping on a cloud! BabyAge.com has created the Today's Mom product line by listening to the biggest concerns of...well, moms of course! One of the biggest pregnancy pillow problems has been hard edges digging into mom's shoulder. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow has a curve shaped, shoulder support design, that contours to the shoulder and provides a soft sleep. Another problem examined by Today's Mom is lumbar support. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow correctly supports mommy's weight while she sleeps. An important upgrade mother's demanded was belly support. This maternity body pillow features a belly support allowing the tummy to rest and support the baby comfortable. Perhaps the best feature is the large, square head rest area. Other pillows feature a flimsy, oddly shaped area for the head. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow's head support resembles a standard pillow to provide comfort. This is one of the only pregnancy pillows designed with an easy to remove zipper-cover. Now, the pillow and case can be separated for washing. Both are machine washable, made of a 50/50 combination of polyester and cotton, and a 200 Thread count percale. This revolutionary pillow is patent pending.

I only get this one life, so I'm not going to sit in my own pile of poop and feel sorry that I'm not in the Hall of Fame.

The Ice Storm [DVD]
Director : Ang Lee
Screenplay : James Schamus (based on the novel by Rick Moody)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1997
In The Ice Storm we are shown with painful clarity just how cold the human heart can be and how we don't have to look very far to grasp this notion. In fact, we only have to glance in our own backyards, and we might be shocked at what we find.
Set to an ethereal, haunting score by Mychael Danna in which the final notes seem to die out rather than fade away, The Ice Storm takes place in 1973 over the Thanksgiving weekend, that great American holiday. It was a time when the U.S. was at a crossroads: the war in Vietnam was winding down, the upheavals of the '60s were coming to a close, and Richard Nixon was on the verge of presidential disgrace. It was a time of unrest and uneasiness, which is reflected in the film's protagonists, who are all "normal," middle-income WASPs in the homey suburb of New Canaan, Connecticut. And, while everything appears placid on the outside, things are not well within, as the last vestiges of '60s hedonism have finally seeped into the suburban world.
Father and husband Ben Hood (Kevin Kline) is sleeping with his neighbor, Janey Carver (Sigourney Weaver), whose dullard of a husband, Jim (Jamey Sheridan), is always out of town. Ben's wife, Elena (Joan Allen), who is never interested in sex, is a kleptomaniac who can't stop herself from stealing lipstick at the corner grocery store. All of them drink too much, spend too much time carousing at social events, and pay too little attention to their children, who are becoming just as infected as they are at a time when they are most vulnerable.
Ben and Elena's daughter, Wendy (Christina Ricci), spends most of her time making out with the Carver's quiet son, Mikey (Elijah Wood), but she doesn't hesitate to play a quick game of "Show me yours and I'll show you mine" with Mikey's creepy younger brother, Sandy (Adam Hann-Byrd). All of these kids have their own problems, all of which can be directly linked to their parents. Like her mother, Wendy also steals from the same corner grocery store, and she is growing a voracious sexual appetite like her father. Mikey is so withdrawn from the world that he can't give an oral report in class without sounding like he's on drugs, and Sandy's chief enjoyment in life is blowing things up with firecrackers. That is, when he's not hovering in the background, watching and absorbing everything around him.
When the parents do try to parent, it's as pathetic as it is funny. In an blackly ironic twist, these parents, who feel they are so sexually liberated that they can go to parties and exchange car keys with strangers, are unable to have literate conversations about sex with their children. When Ben tries to have a "little talk" about the ways of life with his 16-year-old son, Paul (Tobey Maguire), the best thing he can come up with is, "Don't masturbate in the shower because it wastes water and electricity." When Janey catches Wendy and Sandy in the bathroom exposing body parts to each other, she pulls Wendy out and babbles incoherently about the body as a temple and anthropology. No wonder these kids have problems.
The films builds piece by piece to an extended climax during the ice storm of the title, which is a character in and of itself--both symbolic and necessary to the plot. The world is covered with a slick layer of silvery ice, making everything both beautiful and deadly. It is the ultimate cold pouring out of the sky, just as the ultimate cold is finally coming out of the characters. During the storm, a number of important developments take place that tell us much about the specific characters and the human condition in general. The ice storm takes it toll, both physically and emotionally, and at the end of it, when one character puts his head on the steering wheel of his car and begins crying uncontrollably, it's for good reason. It's not so much that he's crying for lost innocence, but that the innocence has been gone for so long that it's not even left as a memory.
The Ice Storm was directed by Taiwan-born Ang Lee, who first garnered American acclaim with 1995's Jane Austen adaptation Sense and Sensibility and has since gone on to helm such disparate films as Hulk (2003), surely the most fascinating and flawed of recent comic book adaptations, and Brokeback Mountain (2005), for which he won the Best Director Oscar. As British-born John Schlesinger showed with Midnight Cowboy (1969), sometimes it takes foreign-born filmmakers to really get the heart of the American experience, and this is a perfect example.
Taken from the novel by Rick Moody, Lee and screenwriter James Schamus make The Ice Storm into a cold, cautionary statement about what we think we know. The underlying theme is an old one that still maintains a sharp relevance: that of the sins of the father being passed down to the son. Lee infuses the film with just enough humor to keep it from becoming unremittingly bleak, but the overall impact is harsh and caustic. It is, in every sense of the word, devastating. At the end, we're left with the feeling that none of these characters are capable of leading fulfilling lives. Despite their material possessions and "open" lifestyles, all their searching has been in vain because they haven't found peace with themselves or each other, and the coldest part of all is that they probably never will.

It's so rare these days to see a relatively "new" film given the Criterion treatment, but as we see in their presentation of The Ice Storm, it's a shame they can't get the rights to more. Criterion's new high-definition anamorphic transfer, which was taken from a 35mm interpositive and supervised by director Ang Lee and cinematographer Frederick Elmes, looks great. The carefully rendered portrait of Americana in the early '70s is beautifully presented in all its ugliness, from the Carver's bland modernist house, to the browns, greens, blues, and grays that dominate the wardrobe and interior design. The film's color scheme is largely subdued, but certain primary colors (for example, Wendy's red sweater) pop out vibrantly. The image is sharp and well detailed, without any signs of age or damage. The only soundtrack available is the original two-channel stereo track, which was transferred at 24-bit from the 35mm LT/RT magnetic track and digitally restored. This means that the Criterion release has dropped the 5.0 surround mix that was available on the previous DVD, but Mychael Danna's haunting score (composed primarily with Native American instruments) sounds so good it's hard to complain. | |
Long-time friends and colleagues often record the best audio commentaries, which is certainly the case with director Ang Lee and producer/screenwriter James Schamus's track on this disc. The duo have collaborated on 10 films in 15 years, and it shows in their easy-going, but highly informative commentary. There is more of Lee and Schamus on the second disc, as well, which includes a half-hour on-stage interview with them at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York, where they were honored in 2007. We get a complementary view of The Ice Storm in "Weathering the Storm," a highly engrossing 36-minute retrospective documentary that is told entirely from the viewpoint of the film's amazing ensemble cast--Joan Allen, Kevin Kline, Tobey Maguire, Christina Ricci, Sigourney Weaver, and Elijah Wood--all of whom contribute new interviews. Another intriguing supplement is the 21-minute video interview with novelist Rick Moody, who is refreshingly frank in discussing what it's like to have his novel adapted to the screen (when he discusses how the film is talked about as "Ang Lee's The Ice Storm," you can hear the difficulty in his voice). There are also three "visual essays," each on a different aspect of the film's visual design: "Cinematography by Frederick Elmes" (13 min.), "Production Design by Mark Friedberg" (14 min.), and "Costumes by Carol Oditz" (8 min.), each of which features commentary by the respective artist explaining his or her process over photographs, design sketches, stills, and footage from the film. Four deleted scenes (two of which were transferred from video masters and two from film dailies) total just over six minutes, and each has optional commentary by Schamus. |
