Headphone Jack Installed
08/03/10 at 23:38:02
Just added a headphone jack to my ZKit1. Thought I would give this a try since I haven't heard of this being done yet with the ZKit1. It sounds amazing with the Grado SR80 headphones I am using. I did this by adding a 100 ohm 2W resistors to the positive side of the left and right outputs and standard wire leads to both negative outputs. These leads were then soldered to their respective places on a regular chassis mount, Radio Shack (Yes, you read correct- please don't hold this against me- it was for the sake of research) headphone jack. This kit makes a outstanding headphone amp. I would be interested to here other members observations of this Mod.

Great to know this.
I would have liked to build a headphone option in from the start - rather than now wondering if I can easily add it after assembly.
So I'm hoping info like this headphone option (and the CCE mod, and hum solutions below) will make their way into the ZKit1 Assembly Instructions.

Should be OK. SE84C+ is the same setup. You can connect the headphone jack and associated wires/resistors to your speaker outputs on the outside of the cabinet to test or go ahead and solder leads to the speaker outputs inside the cabinet and mount the jack into the metal amp enclosure. You will need to drill a 1/4" hole to mount the headphone jack.

Hi tubenvy,
I followed in your footsteps and installed a headphone jack (from Radio shack yes, for the time being) because the zenkit turned out a little underpowered for my triangles. I prefer my Jolida 801a for now. The main issue I have with the zen kit is a loud hum that I can't resolve. I installed 2 X 200ohm resistors in the same way you described and the hum almost disappeared (along with the relative volume reduction). I am listening for sound degradation (I have a pair of akg 701) but I can't find any, at equal loudness, just a welcome reduction in hum.
I am a complete novice and don't understand much of what I am doing, can you please explain the use of resistors in that particular place? I have never heard of that yet. And how important is it that they be rated at 2watts? Are there different qualities, should I bother to order more expensive ones?
Thanks a lot

For the headphone mod, you should be using (qty 1) 100ohm resistor per channel, not (qty 1) 200ohm resistor per channel as you have described. Also, your hum problem can be solved by adding a length of solid core wire (i used small gauge telephone wire) from the ground tab of each RCA input to the respective ground on the volume pod. I had the same hum issue but, even through headphones, my amp is now as quiet as a church mouse. The hum mod is described in the following post:

Hi Tubenvy,
Sounds like a good idea. I have young children so to be able to use the zkit1 as a headphone amp would be a bonus. I also want to use mine to drive speakers on occasions too. I was wondering about installing a switch contact headphone jack, but my knowledge of electronics is rudimentry. My understanding of how these things work is that as the headphone jack goes in it cuts the connection to the speakers. The conntections are signal - headphone jack - speakers as I understand it. If I put a 100R resistor in the signal path before the headphone jack the won't I also have put the 100R resistor before the speakers when they are connected? Or am I wrong?
If anyone can tell me how to do this properly i.e my the zkit1 a headphone amp that mutes the speakers when I plug headphones in, please let me know. Would love to try it,

Thinner iPhone 5 and Thinner iPad Mini – No roam for 7 inch iPad
It only one month left and there is no official words coming out from Apple about Next Gen iPhone and iPad Mini along side with iPod Touch but rumors are roaming around which are kind of confirmation about next generation iPad Mini, iPhone 5 and iPod Touch. So far roamers are at peak which tells that iPhone 5, iPad Min and iPod Touch all three will be coming out most probably in the same size but with thinner body design. How ever the price which is rumored is set to be at $200 to $300, which will available for the users in October may be.

I might just play this one.
That's extremely shoddily put together.
for life is a game fit only for fools
it's a horse that can't win
in a race rigged to lose
On another note, they kinda made it look a little bit like Dragons Dogma.
I'm directly copying this from an article I'm reading, but here's some nice little things.
You can play as a qunari...
The horned antagonists of Dragon Age II can, if you opt in, play a vital role in the waging war between mages and the Chantry, the rise of the long out-of-order Inquisition, and the general rescuing of Thedas from enemies beyond the Fade. You can also play as a female qunari -- not only is this the first time we're able to play as the race itself, it's the first time we'll even see a lady of their kind. Women in previous Dragon Age games have taken heat from men in a familiar, misogynistic culture, which created opportunity for interesting character growth, story moments, and moments where empowered women could shine. As an oft-hated qunari, those situations could prove...unpredictable in all the right ways.
Exploring the open world...
Meandering through Thedas has a purpose. The team used a phrase I really like: "honest discovery." Dragon Age won't force you into a cave to fetch a book. Ideally, you'd stumble upon an opening, go in blind, and see what you find inside. On the larger scale, the sprawling spaces serve a bigger-picture purpose. Capturing keeps allows you to turn your growing army into a militant brute, a commercial enterprise, and more. Branding your new little fortresses reminds me of Far Cry 3's captured control points -- your influence and infamy grows alongside your army, which you can use in various ways. Speaking of which...
The Agent system...
Recruiting followers and amassing a trusted force comes naturally to a good leader, which is what you'll become as the Inquisitor in Dragon Age. This goes beyond companions. Your Agents are specialized units that take care of dirty work off-screen -- think Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker or Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood -- to create new opportunities with serious gameplay ramifications. In a simple example, we're shown a valley absorbed by poisonous gas. Should specialists head into the toxin and cap their source, you're able to explore what lies within. This is a behind-the-scenes mechanics that means something in the grand scheme of the world you inhabit, and it brings the thriving open world to life.
The Frostbite 3 Engine
Dragon Age: Inquisition is gorgeous, and brings the sort of A-game visual splendor you want at the turn of a console generation. Its scenery is beautiful, its spaces are dense, and its destruction looks as great as you'd expect -- and not in a "medieval Battlefield" sort of way. Rocks crumble beneath go-getter dragons tumbling into a structure. Bridges collapse when cut or detonated, boats burn when ignited -- which can halt an enemies' escape or resources long-term -- and combat bowls can be carved through to upend the level design. It's more than a shiny coat of paint. Like most things in Inquisition, the new bits have meaningful consequence on the gameplay.
The new dialog wheel
Speaking of consequence, making tough calls has always been part of BioWare's legacy, but oftentimes the reaction to an action isn't quite what you expect. Selecting the "Shut up" option in Mass Effect, for example, may have led to an unexpected act of violence that didn't suit the character, or damaged something later on that you may not have expected. Now, when you highlight dialog, you'll see a text pop-up explaining what's likely to happen if you say or do something. This is optional, so if you'd rather not know that a village will certainly fall if you leave its under-attack inhabitants hanging, or you'd rather deal with it on your own terms, you can.
The combat
I loved the physicality of Dragon Age II's combat, but like many, especially PC players, I missed the almost-turn-based tactics level of stop-motion strategy from Origins' combat. That's back in Inquisition (on all platforms), so even console players can stop time, get a high-level view of the battlefield, and assign orders for each of their characters. You can assign move orders, spells, and attack patterns with quick grace, and jump right back into the fray for real-time slicing and dicing. A.I. states also let you assign behaviors to units, as usual, so you can send an aggressive character ahead of his or her teammates to take care of business while supporting them from afar. That, and the Z-targeting, reactive enemies, and vicious force of each strike really makes each fight look like a scary place to be.
You are an arrogant species. And as such, are unworthy to join the Empire.
3DS Friend Code - 3883-5104-4967
So much want.
When I heard we could play as a Qunari:
"People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define reality. But what does it mean to be correct or true? Merely vague concepts... their reality may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?"
"Power. Give me more, power. If i become an outcast, abomination, a demon, so be it. I will endure the exile. Anything, to protect her!"
And they fixed the combat?!
...Makes me think I should go finish the copy of DAII a friend lent me.

"No strings" means no jealousy, no expectations, no fighting, no flowers, no baby voices. It means they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, in whatever public place they want, as long as they don't fall in love. The question becomes - who's going to fall first? And can their friendship survive?
Academy Award Winner Natalie Portman (Black Swan) and Ashton Kutcher (What Happens in Vegas...) star in the hilarious hit comedy that takes a modern look at what happens when friends-in-need do the deed. Emma is a busy doctor who offers her best friend Adam an unconventional relationship with one rule: No Strings Attached. But when a fling becomes a thing, can sex friends stay best friends?

Last week, NBC's ludicrous insta-flop Do No Harm (about a Jekyll-Hyde neurosurgeon) pushed TV's medical genre beyond its melodramatic limits. Taking the completely opposite tack, and likely to get a much longer leash (this being cable), TNT's Monday Mornings (Monday, 10/9c) is a surprisingly mellow drama set at a hospital, about doctors forced to face up to their shortcomings, with an ensemble led by (trend alert?) gorgeous and flawed — though decidedly not bonkers — neurosurgeons, played by Jamie Bamber and Jennifer Finnigan.

Hi, I plan to install two new fuel pumps to my car, while keeping the original in place as well. Forg provided a bit of help IN THIS THREAD HERE , but I'm just chasing perhaps a different alternative to consider.
A standard relay would normally have the following, right? Well, thats what mine has anyway.
(a)12v input from battery
(c)output to pump
(d)output to something else, ie, std pump (?)
This is what Forg said :
An easy way to wire up what you've got would be to run a relay's trigger circuit off the power supply to the pump you've already got mounted, and run the power for the second pump through the relay (and a fuse).
From my understanding, that would install a new relay, with the output to pump (c) from the first relay becoming the input (a) for the second relay? correct?
What I was wondering, is it possible to get a relay which can supply power to three different pumps to get rid of the first relay??
12V input
output to pump 1
output to pump 2
output to pump 3
I'm worried about voltage drop affecting the operation of the pumps.
Any advice??

One of the Classic climbs of the Organ Mts. It takes an obvious weakness up the cliff with mostly good rock, and comfortable belays. The last pitch tackles a headwall with beautiful exposure and clean granite. Pitch 1: climb the corner under a large roof. Pass an old 1/4" bolt to a ledge just below the roof where another old 1/4" bolt is found. Belay from here, or continue up around the right side of the roof and belay at another large ledge with a tree. Pitch 2: Continue up the corner/crack system for about 100 ft. At this point make an escape to large ledge (grassy in the right season) will be seen off to the right. This is the path of least resistance. If you keep going up the corner, you will run into some harder, and les sprotectable ground, and miss the good belay ledge. Pitch 3: Climb up or around a short slab to a small overlap with a weakness in it. There is a fixxed nut and piton at the weakness. After cranking over this, continue up to a comforatble belay ledge aboce. Pitch 4: the dirtiest pitch. Continue up the corner system for 50 ft, where there is a chimney like move to gain a slab ampitheather above. Once on the open slab, pick from the many nice belay stances. Pitch 5: Very short. Head up the slab to the headwall and traverse to the right side. Turning around the corner here is an exposed move and quite exhilierating. A hanging belay is found directly around the corner (out of sight from your belayer). Pitch 6: from the hanging belay a piton can be seen where 3 small rooflets break the headwall. climb towards these. This is the crux pitch, with great exposure and very clean, almost featureless rock. 2 pitons protect the first two rooflets, afterwhich ample gear placements can be found. A good reach and a cool head will help surmounting these. Above the rooflets, run out the rope to the top of the ridge.
The route is identifiable from the approach as a large corner system which leans slightly to the right, and ascends to the half-way point of the face. An excellent topo and route description was written by Charlie Cundiff and is available at the NMSU climbing wall. See Gertch for descent description.
Standard rack.
FA by Paul Wohlt and Dick Ingraham. They rated it 5.7 but 5.8 is probably a more fair rating. Harder and straighter variation pitches below the top overhangs have been climbed.
This is my favorite climb in the Organs. The triple overhangs had to have been a spectacular first ascent. The FA was done with the belayer around the corner, out of sight of the leader. The final pitch hanging belay on the slab beneath the overhangs was put in later.
Great climb, once the nasty >2 hr approach is behind you. Crux for me was pulling past the p3 piton, which seemed harder than 5.8. Exhilarating is a good way to describe the end of p5 (fun). Hanging belay below p6 consists of 2 �� bolts that can be backed up with gear.
How are the bolts on the hanging belay. I am planning on climbing this route in April, but I have never done a hanging belay and hanging off of two old 1/4 inchers seems kind of sketchy. What's up there to back them up? If there are a bunch of cracks, are they good? If so, why the bolts?
The hanging belay isn't truly a 'hanging' belay, if that's defined as an anchor where you're fully weighting the bolts and there are no other options on a purely blank vertical face. I recall it as a ramplike setting, pretty exposed, with decent options for backing up the bolts with gear; we had no problems there. It's the rappel stations in the south descent gully that will get your attention though. The first consists of a rusty pair of ~5/16" (?) bolts (which can be backed up for the first descender). The second station is a newer single ~3/8" bolt, which can also be backed up for the heavier person going first. Great route though.
Thanks Chris. Our date got pushed back and we are now set to go in a couple of weeks. One more question though: due to the extra long approach -- and previous visits have shown us that we can about double the times listed to get to the base of most Organ climbs -- I'm hoping to go as light as possible, and I'm wondering what pro is essential to the climb. Our rack is pretty large and contains doubles in some of the mid sizes (BD .75 through #3). With that in mind, is there need for us to bring a #4 on up? Is there placement potential for a BD 4, 5, or 6?
there are a few hard parts on this climb but nothing a 5.8-5.9 leader cant handle. In the decsent gully on the south, the chains are hidden behind a big slab, once you get to the bottom of all the bushes in the gully follow the stream bed all the way down until it is a straight down cliff, the chains are right on the edge
approach on west side involves brutal bushwack for miles, east side approach might be doable but i have not tried it.
East side approach would be okay to the top of Big Windy Canyon, but the descent through the canyon to the base of the climb is pretty brushy (but at least not as much cat-claw).
This is one of the easiest approaches and descents in the Organs. We just walked off the backside and down Big Windy Canyon in the 50s through 70s. I noted a really big black rattlesnake on a boulder right along the descent around 1969 (it was cold and he wasn't doing much) and remarked to Bill Hackett that he shouldn't put his hand on the boulder. I received an end of the day blistering for BS'ing him and then he saw the snake. Of course we sometimes stumbled across the desert in the dark as we achieved what Dick Ingram would called "Organ Sainthood" e.g. 'to embrace the cholla and stumble flat onto the prickly pear.
Approach: from Aquirre Springs. Time to the Big Windy Canyon Saddle, below low horn 1, was about an hour. Down the canyon and to the base of the climb, another 2 hrs. Classic Organs bushwacking but from the east there is less cat claw to battle. One could probably do this fast but this our first time to approach Gertch. Most of the pitches are around 5.7-5.8 but the last pitch had a 5.9 move or two, especially if you're shorter. The pitch descriptions on this page are spot on. 6 pitches is a good break to prevent rope drag. Communication can be difficult between 3 and 4 and 5 and 6. Good exposure and classic Organs climbing on mostly good rock. Descent: Walk off the north side of Low Horn 1 back to the Big Windy Saddle to where we left our packs. Finding the trail was easier going down and we were back at the car in under an hour. I think the west approach would be shorter if there was a trail and one didn't have to wade through cat claw.
Chris Wenker remarked about the westward descent that is south of Gertch: "It's the rappel stations in the south descent gully that will get your attention though." Agreed! (as of 1 Nov 2013) And they are NOT readily/easily backed up but can be with some effort.

Scouting Mark Appel: the possible first pick overall in 2012
by Kyle BoddyApril 11, 2012
Stanford right-handed pitcher Mark Appel is one of the candidates to go first overall to the Houston Astros in the 2012 draft. With a four-seam fastball that touches 100 mph and sits 94-96, a two-seam fastball around 92-94 with a ton of arm-side run, a sharp slider from 82-84, and a changeup from 81-83 with plenty of depth, he has the tools to perform well in the big leagues. But there have been some serious concerns with his stats this year that are making a lot of people pause.
Where are the strikeouts?
As of April 9, Appel has only struck out 55 batters in 57 innings pitched despite his stuff (source: CollegeSplits). If you adjust for park/schedule (the Pac-12 is tougher than the average college conference), Appel projects to have 58 strikeouts in 57 innings pitched, which is not a huge improvement.
Pitchers who are projected to go with one of the top picks of the draft generally have gaudy strikeout totals, but they weren't there in 2011 for Appel, and while they've improved some in 2012, it hasn't been a huge increase.
The kinematics of Mark Appel
Similar to the Gerrit Cole and Danny Hultzen articles I've written, I've broken down Appel's kinematics using high-speed video that I personally shot on April 5 when he pitched against the University of Washington.
Metrics for analysis
These will be the same metrics as the ones used in both the Cole/Hultzen analyses:
-Maximum knee height (absolute and relative to height)
-Degrees of shoulder abduction at foot contact
-Degrees of lead knee angle at foot contact
-Stride length at foot contact (absolute and relative to height)
-Degrees of maximum external rotation (MER)
-Degrees of lead hip flexion at ball release
Maximum knee height
Appel's maximum lead knee height is 56.64 inches, giving him a relative measure of 75.5 percent of his standing height of 77 inches (error unknown). Research indicates that the best pitchers have a maximum knee height between 60 and 70 percent of their standing height, so Appel exceeds that to some degree. The idea is that if the lead knee is raised too high, the momentum down and toward the plate can be arrested or started late, though Appel doesn't seem to have a problem with this.
Stride foot contact metrics
Appel strikes the ground with his heel first, which isn't a problem, despite conventional thinking. There's no correlation between loss of velocity and/or control issues with pitchers who land heel first.
- Shoulder abduction (angle of elbow/upper arm) is about 84 degrees (error unknown). Research suggests elite pitchers are generally between 80-100 degrees at this phase of the delivery.
- Lead knee angle is about 144 degrees (error unknown). Research suggests elite pitchers are generally between 125-140 degrees at this phase of the delivery. This is a minor red flag, because further down the delivery, you can see Appel firms up his lead knee and closes the angle a little more after heel strike.
- Stride length is about 66.5 inches or 86.36 percent of his standing height. (error unknown). Research suggests elite pitchers generally stride 75-90 percent of their standing height.
Maximum external rotation
Appel's MER is about 184 degrees (error unknown). Research suggests that elite pitchers tend to range from 170-190 degrees of "MER" throughout the delivery.
Hip flexion
At ball release, Appel's lead hip flexion is about 87 degrees (error unknown). Research suggests that elite pitchers tend to be between 92-115 degrees of hip flexion at ball release, so Appel comes in a little short here. I think this is due to his very long stride, as the longer you stride, the tougher it is to flex forward at the trunk if you have blocked the front side with your leg. This can cause deceleration pathing issues in pitchers, but Appel doesn't seem to have an excessive issue here.
Wrapping up the kinematics
Here's a review of the kinematics in a simple chart:
Appel is a little out of bounds on some of the markers, but I don't personally think there's much to be worried about.
Performance against Washington
I went to the game in Seattle with Jason Churchill, executive editor for Prospect Insider and contributor to ESPN's coverage of young baseball prospects. He wrote up Appel on his blog and wasn't too enthused with him, and I came away with similar thoughts. Appel couldn't command his fastball in the first inning at 95 mph, so he dialed it down to 92-94 and relied heavily on his two-seam fastball against the power-heavy (and defensively light) lineup that Coach Meggs sent out there.
Though Appel shut out the Huskies after Jacob Lamb tagged him in the first for a two-run double, he only struck out three hitters, and he was unable to throw his slider for strikes early in the count. Appel relied on his two-seam fastball and changeup (81-83) to get induce weak contact in a relatively big ballpark, and though it worked, Appel is supposed to be a premier power pitcher with strikeout stuff, not a contact/finesse guy like his opponent, Aaron West (who I thought pitched pretty well, to be honest—take a look at high-speed footage of West on YouTube).
Appel has a relatively easy motion and not a lot of violence, and it lends itself to a pretty repeatable delivery. He's a good athlete and fields his position well.
However, I kept thinking to myself, "If you have a 96-98 mph heater but can't reliably command it, do you really have it at all?" It's to his credit that he has the intelligence and humbleness to understand when he can't throw his best bolt where he needs it, but that's a trait you want to see from the fringe guys who have to maximize their stuff, not necessarily big-time prospects.
Bonus: Appel's two-seam fastball
What did impress me was Mark Appel's two-seam fastball that he commanded very well, getting it inside to righties on a regular basis and making them supremely uncomfortable and defensive at the plate. You can see how he releases it in this very slow animated image I created:
You can see how Appel drives the pinky-side of his hand to the plate in a supinated position, pronating through release and turning his hand over to get the massive arm-side run. Because of how Appel's hand is positioned, if he fails to pronate at the right time, the ball will come out of his hand like a cutter, which explains a lot of references to his "cutter" or "two-seam cutter" that I've seen on various blogs out there. However, this doesn't seem to happen often, and I didn't see any cutter-like pitches from Appel.
Conclusion: To take him or not?
Whether or not I'd pick Appel with the first choice in the 2012 MLB draft isn't an opinion I'm willing (or qualified) to form, but there are a lot of issues surrounding him that need to be examined before announcing his name. The teams picking at the top of the draft have their homework cut out for them.

My own opinion is that I think government needs to get out of this marriage thing all together, I don't think them, church, or anyone should have a voice, accept the two people it is between. If you don't think so.. why not fight for arranged marriages again?
That said I also realize marriage by state has more to do with capital than anything else, and how society divides that up throught those two people's lives..

New Prototype Debuts at Second Little Rock-Area On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina®; Locals Can Become a Part of Brand's History, Beer Bottle Sales Benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arkansas
DALLAS, Sept. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As it nears its 10-year mark in West Little Rock, On The Border® is ready to make history in Sherwood, with $100 beer bottles.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130923/DA84756LOGO)
Say what?
On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina®, which has enjoyed a thriving location in West Little Rock for nearly a decade, is set to extend its bond with the greater Little Rock community with a grand opening in Sherwood on Monday, September 30th at 11 am. A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 10:45 am.
For the first time in its history, On The Border will let its guests in on what has historically been a pre-opening ritual among team members: signing beer bottles that make up a beer-bottle chandelier, which is the eye magnet and signature centerpiece at On The Border restaurants.
The cost per bottle: $100, with all proceeds to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arkansas, which for more than four decades has been providing children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported 1-to-1 relationships in Central Arkansas.
"We've been a proud neighbor in the greater Little Rock community for the past 10 years and are excited to bring the OTB experience to Sherwood," said Steve Clark, On The Border's Chief Executive Officer. "We are part of Little Rock's DNA and we wanted to let guests become a part of On The Border's DNA. We're modifying a good OTB tradition to create an even better tradition involving our community while supporting a great local cause."
In addition to becoming a part of the Sherwood On The Border, each $100 donor will receive $100 in OTB dining certificates for use on future visits and one lucky donor will win OTB dining certificates for an entire year.
Located at 6000 Warden Road in Sherwood, the 6951 square foot restaurant, which will employ 130, is a new prototype for the brand, featuring an open kitchen with a mesquite wood-burning grill, brighter colors, more rustic finishes, unique art & decor, and two 'El Presidente' booths, special sections perfect for celebrations and gatherings. The restaurant will also offer a spacious cantina with more than 40 tequilas, 12 draft beers, and multiple flat screens for sports viewing and an expanded outdoor patio with seating for 44 people.
"Sherwood will experience our new state-of-the-art prototype, with a laid back atmosphere and a natural look that leans into the Tex-Mex roots of this brand," continued Clark. "It's an OTB with all of the things that West Little Rock has embraced, including Mesquite-grilled steak fajitas made from premium outside skirt steak, 'Guacamole Live' made fresh-to-order at your table, homemade salsa and sauces and hand-pressed tortillas. And of course, since we are home of the famous Meltdown Margarita, we are bringing a wide and a crave-able selection of margaritas to Sherwood including OTB Meltdowns, where we top your margarita of choice with Midori, Chambord, Cointreau, Grand Marnier or your favorite tequila. We've created a new look while still honoring the OTB heritage, flavors, great times and cocktails that Little Rock loves."
On The Border in Sherwood will be open for lunch and dinner, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Happy Hour in the cantina will be featured Monday through Friday from 4-7 p.m., and again late-night Sunday through Thursday from 9-11 p.m. and will offer special priced beverages, as well as appetizers starting at only $2.
About On The BorderOn The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina is a leading full-service restaurant that offers an extensive menu of great-tasting, classic and contemporary Mexican food, like sizzling mesquite-grilled fajitas, and margaritas as big and bold as the border itself. On The Border is owned by On The Border Acquisition LLC, with (now!) 158 restaurants in 36 states, Puerto Rico and three countries worldwide.

1) resistor / capacitor as per the instructions
2) APM, RC receiver, sonar, Xbee etc powered from a seperate 6A BEC
3) tightly twisted wires to reduce noise
4) mounted on the nose away from ESC's Xbees etc.
and i still have lots of big spikes and the climb rate is constantly noisy from this.
Have a look at the log file and you will see what i mean.
I've had good success with mine:
Like your quad - somewhat similar to mine.
The signal filtering is described in the MB FAQ: http://www.maxbotix.com/tutorials.htm point 8. I used a 10K resistor.
Your home-made shielded cable sounds OK, although a USB or Mouse cable might be a little better.
However, the sonar is very close to the Optical Flow sensor and may be picking up noise from it. If the filtering doesn't work, try disconnecting the Optical sensor to see if that's the source of the noise.
I have also been having problems and have tried all the suggested filters. It holds altitude better with the sonar off than with it on. I am about ready to just take it off and give up. Are there any other brands of sonar that would be better suited for outdoor use?
Maybe the problem is the analog interface. If we could use the digital interface maybe that would help but I don't know how to do that.
How often is the sonar input actually measured by the APM? will adding a 50ms delay change anything? it only measures every 99ms anyway.
I will give it a go with the 0.1uF cap on the apm and a 10k to start with and then the 100k to see how much difference it makes. ill see how it looks and post the logs if it makes a difference.
Shame i wont be home for about a month :(
Ok so ive changed a couple of things in my quad to try and sort this sonar out.
Ive installed a 0.1uF cap at the analogue input pin right next to the IC on the APM and installed a 100k resistor at the analogue out of the sonar. looking at the logs now i see the spikes are much wider than before. each spike is measured over 3 or 4 samples instead of just 1.
Here is a pic with the pad i made next to the IC
Here is the 0.1uF cap installed
And the jumper wire from the IC to the cap (i cut off the excess after i soldered it)
On to plan #59614836
I tried the outside Sonar again today with some filters and it was better. The problem was that it would get in a mode where it would gradually go higher for about a 30 seconds then fairly quickly descend back to the starting altitude. I was flying Loiter and it did hold position well – it was a nice calm morning flying over grass.
I turned off the sonar and did the same flying and it actually held altitude better with the sonar turned off. It just does not seam to be that practical for outdoor flying. I have APM2 that does have a much better pressure sensor.
Is the sonar raw data recorded on the APM or do you have to use telemetry to recoed it?
Both Baro and Sonar altitude is stored in the onboard .log files. Look in the CTUN rows, first few columns.
I had the rising problem when a wire broke off the sonar. The sonar altitude was a flat line. The log file should give you a good idea of what's happening.
100% better results now! soldered the wires directly from the apm to the sonar, because when i was trying something else I noticed there was no power going to the capacitor bank I was trying to use. so made me a bit sus if there was a bad connection and cutting power while moving.
check out the results in the log file! almost perfect, the first half is with the motors running full speed and tilting up and down at the walls to get changes in height. then where the spikes are is where i was banging the metal booms with a screwdriver to see how physical noise effected it. then the last half is with the motors off to compare.
If it wasnt so windy outside i would go and try it out.

I am an i-Phone widow. Meeester took delivery of his i-Phone yesterday and I think that's it for me. He said less than three words to me last night as he footered with it and didn't even say goodbye to me this morning before leaving for work. Maybe because he's got an app for that and just forgot to activate it, assuming that it had already whispered a computer generated "Cheerio. Do you need me to get anything on my way home?" to me as he walked past me as I pretended to be just about to get up. "Need to remember to pay attention to your wife? We've got an app for that!"
Of course I could always try and salvage our relationship and join his club by getting one of my own like one of those wives who take up golf because they realise if they don't they'll only ever see their husband when he's asleep beside them or at family weddings and funerals. But I can't think of anything else that would be more of a waste of money (apart from buying a set of golf clubs). Not because the i-Phone isn't amazing- adverts every four minutes tell me that this isn't the case. No it would be a waste of money because I don't even like having a mobile phone. I barely like having a home telephone.
I am what they call a late adopter. I am the person who people get stuff for because I need to be forced into updating my life. I am convinced I wouldn't even have a mobile phone at all if it weren't for the fact that ten years ago I got given a Nokia as a leaving present from the work that I refused to take a company mobile phone from in the first place because "it means you'll call me when I'm not at work and make me do work things". I can't think why I never moved up in that company, for the life of me.
I don't think I've ever got over that contempt for people in the late eighties who carried mobile phones the size of a large doner kebab about and shouted into them, like they were yoghurt cartons attached to their mates distant yoghurt carton with a piece of string. A part of me still feels like a right dick if I answer my mobile phone in a public place. I cringe as I hear myself say "I'm on a bus!" People stopped declaring where they were a good decade ago, for goodness sakes.
I forget to take my phone with me, I forget to charge it, I forget to switch it back off silent mode for a good week after I've been to the cinema with it, I have lost it more times that I've probably ever used it to make an actual call. I am not alone in this. Phone my mother on hers and she will answer startled like the ringing has slapped across the face, shrieking "Hello????" at a pitch only spaniels can hear. I don't think I've ever called my dad on his and he's actually ever answered. Pretty much everyone I am in contact with has said this phrase to me "Didn't you get the message I left for you on your phone?" To which the universal answer is a sheepish "No...." and a silent thought to myself of "My phone has an answering service, who knew?"
No I will just have to watch my husband silently from the sidelines and occasionally show interest as he shows me a new app for an action he never needed to perform in real life before the machine arrived. Yes, you heard right I just called it a machine.
I will try to link it to my own life to show I'm not completely out of touch, "Can you blog from that?" I'll say, to which the universal answer will be "Blogging is so 2007. We're all tweeting now."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Fire crews on the First Coast are dealing with two early-morning house fires Tuesday.
The first is in Keystone Heights.
It started around 5:30.
Fire dispatchers told us around 6 a.m. that the fire was still burning at the home on Campo Drive near Indian Trail.
The fire spread from the front of the mobile home to the attic space of an add on roof that covered a triple wide mobile home. The total square footage of the triple mobile home is 3900 square feet, according to a news release from Clay County Fire Rescue.
The release said the home was consumed by the fire and is a total loss. Damages are estimated at $40,000.
Fire officials said due to the limited availability of fire hydrants in the area firefighters called in for mutual aid water tenders from the surrounding area fire departments.
Clay Electric told firefighters power had been cut off at the residence October 30 and that the service line that was cut and coiled up at the base of the pole had been rerouted and connected to another service line.
The State Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the cause of the fire. The release said the Fire Marshal's Office has requested the assistance of the ATF for their investigation.
The home's three occupants escaped without injury.
The second fire happened at a home on Jacksonville's Westside.
At 6 a.m., fire crews were still on the scene in the 8500 block of Rockland Drive near I-295.
The home was abandoned.

Well, I have a confession to make. The figure is a mystery – at least to me. Ever since IBM announced its $7 Billion dollar 2015 Cloud forecast I've been thinking about it. The figure strikes me as being very conservative

Thanks to one of his patients, Dr. Cliff Ehrlich of the Lansdale branch of Cardiology Consultants of Philadelphia is feeling better than ever.
The 56-year-old Ehrlich considers himself in good physical shape, but not an athlete. But then one of his patients, Lower Salford resident Derek Fitzgerald, talked him into getting involved in one of his least favorite physical activities.
�I never liked to run. That one-mile run (in school gym class) just killed me,� Ehrlich said, adding that arthritis makes running a painful exercise.
Up until his heart transplant a little more than a year ago, Fitzgerald wouldn�t have considered himself a runner either.
Yet both men will be running in a 5K April 15 in Philadelphia, the Gift of Life Donor Program�s Dash for Donor Awareness.
Eight years ago, Fitzgerald was a 31-year-old lymphoma survivor that found himself in Lansdale Hospital � then Central Montgomery Medical Center � complaining of unusual tiredness and shortness of breath.
�Back then nobody thought he had a heart problem,� Ehrlich said. He eventually found out that Fitzgerald�s chemotherapy treatments had weakened his heart, leading to congestive heart failure.
While medication stabilized his condition for a time, his health declined in 2010 and the Hatfield Township-based cardiologist recommended Fitzgerald for a heart transplant.
�He never had good strength again because he couldn�t be active,� Ehrlich said.
During a checkup, Fitzgerald experienced an attack of �extreme lethargy.� �I had a hard time standing up. I had a hard time lifting my arms. My wife was holding me up on one side, and Dr. Ehrlich and the nurse were holding me up on the other,� he said.
�His blood pressure was unattainable. I couldn�t find a pulse,� said Ehrlich, who sent his patient immediately to University of Pennsylvania Hospital.
The transplant took place Jan. 3, 2011 and Fitzgerald�s new heart made a difference.
�It was a great moment. As soon as I got the heart, I knew I felt better,� he said.
While on a treadmill doing cardiac rehabilitation at Grand View Hospital, he felt an urge to pick up the pace from a walk to a jog to a run.
�In terms of the past decade of my life, it had been the fastest I had ever gone,� said Fitzgerald, who said that the session gave him goose bumps and a runner�s high.
�The memories of what it felt like to be healthy ... everything just kept flooding back,� he said.
Five months ago, Fitzgerald challenged his doctor to run the Dash for Donor Awareness with him. �I had assumed, being a cardiologist, (he�d) be exercising and heart healthy,� said Fitzgerald. �He didn�t know if he was ready to do a run. I said: �Doc, you�ve seen my charts, you�ve treated me. If I can do it, you can do it�,�
�I realized that with enough training I could do it,� said Ehrlich, who along with his four-person team raised nearly $1,000 for the Gift of Life Donor Program.
Working with a trainer that Ehrlich described as young and enthusiastic, he started out running on a dirt surface, and is transitioning to running on asphalt for the 5K, which will start at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and continue onto Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.
�I�m going to keep doing this,� he said, reporting an increase in stamina from training for the Donor Dash. �I feel so blessed to be a part of the people�s lives that I work with every day.�

Cry me a river!
If this American terrorist is not killed by a drone launched Hellfire missile, he´ll eventually return to the US. Like earlier American terrorists Bill Ayers (U of Illinois) and Bernadette Dohrn (Northwestern), he´s sure to end up with a well remunerated professorship at an American university along with lucrative speaking engagements to teacher groups and eventual WH invites. Name removed from log, of course. Life on the left can be quite good for elder terrorists and their friends.
She´s worried that he will return with a wife he got for 2 goats.
Hey toots, face up to the fact that your spawn is demon seed. I hope you never see him alive again, on American soil.
Sure hope they kill him

It's an Odd World
I was struck by quite a few oddities on this day as I sat down to pen this entry, so I just went with that theme for today.
Mat Latos was reportedly hitting 97 mph on the radar gun last night in his seven shutout innings against the Giants. Latos was almost matched on the night by the Giants Jonathan Sanchez who allowed only one run in his seven innings as the Giants lost 1-0. Moreover, Sanchez struck out 10 while allowing only one hit in the loss. Three points. (1) The last time that the Giants lost a game in which they allowed only one hit World War I was happening – it was September 22nd, 1917. (2) Latos is a potential stud. I worry though that the Padres will limit him to 150-160 innings, so it might be wise to ride him for a while and then move him to a leaguemate who isn't aware that his innings will be limited. (3) I keep saying it, and people keep laughing at me, but Sanchez just might end up being as valuable as Clayton Kershaw in 2010. Seriously.
The Cubs are a mess, and Lou Pinella isn't one to sit idly by. He's already switched the lineup around moving Marlon Byrd (vs. lefties) and Kosuke Fukudome (vs. righties) to the top of the order, and now the team is making a change in the rotation. With Ted Lilly set to return from his minor league rehab assignment this weekend, and with that a starter will need to be moved to the bullpen. Speculation was rampant on Twitter today about who it might be, and ultimately the man chosen to move might have been the one least likely to have taken on a bullpen role – and that is Carlos Zambrano. Big Z hasn't made a bullpen appearance since 2002. Zambrano certainly has the stuff to dominate in shorts stints, but there are two big concerns. First, he often has no idea where the strike zone is, and you don't want a late game arm coming in walking guys. Second, Zambrano is the hot head of hot heads. How anyone thinks that matches a role where, even at best, you often end up blowing things for your team, is beyond me. Be very afraid Cubs fans, but if you can, hold on to him in fantasy leagues cause this simply cannot last (sooner or later Carlos Silva will implode).
Mark Ellis missed seven games with a hamstring injury before playing last night. Well, he suffered a setback and today the A's placed him on the DL. So, he'll now have to miss 15 more games. Would the team have been better off just placing him on the DL when the injury initially occurred, thereby saving them a week of time? Probably. Too bad the Red Sox did the same thing with their handling of the rib injury to Jacoby Ellsbury (they left him on the bench, but not on the DL, for a week and a half before deciding to DL him).
Prince Fielder isn't hitting his weight, which is something when you way like a quarter of a ton (he is hitting .224). Beyond the concern with the batting average there is the fact that he hasn't gone deep in 49 at-bats. Well, I guess we know why – he has a sore hand. I have a sore wrist, but it hasn't precluded me from continuing to type out really good articles the past week (I must be tougher than Prince).
Zack Greinke allowed two runs over seven innings against the Blue Jays only to see his bullpen cough up the lead and the game. He's now 0-2 through four starts despite a 3.28 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP.
Speaking of the Royals, Jose Guillen continues to mash as if he was the reincarnated Josh Gibson. Guillen is hitting .377 with six homers and 13 RBI through 15 games. How is that for a forgotten man in the fantasy game?
Oh, and one last thing. Mr. Lyle Overbay, my starting first basemen in JEDWARS, an AL-only league, please remember how to hit. How he is batting .119 through 59 at-bats, considering that he owns a .277 career average, is simply astounding. It also goes to show you that things always even out. What do I mean? I have Guillen going absolutely nuts on that same squad, though his production has pretty much been negated by the failures of Overbay.

Any thing in big and tall theres lots of tall fat people like me yo lol
More Brotha Lynch Hung stuff too!!!
Honestly all the designs shown so far are hella ugly. No disrespect but theres no way Strange will accept those.
I personally prefer the nice and simple Tech shirts that have the "Tech N9ne" script on the front without anything else just in the font corresponding to his current album. Then of course with the small SM logo on the back either right up top in the middle or on the bottom on the right side of the shirt.
