- Confort foodnekogamiVIPDined on 11/21/2014It is really small sheeting, but food is good. I wish they could carry Shochu. Uni was so little, we won't order it again. Good meet dish. Eggplant was excellentSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden gem, like being in KyotodocsusieDined on 11/8/2014We ordered the Chef's Table and thoroughly enjoyed each course of the meal. Our waiter was patient in explaining the ingredients in each of the dishes and did the work of the hot pot (we had the sukiyaki). The beef was very flavorful in the sukiyaki and we were smiling by meal's end, leaving enough on our plate to take home and enjoy leftovers the next day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good for small groupsmallgrouplunchDined on 10/26/2014We ordered two beef hot pots and it turned out the vegetable assortments for four is almost same as for two. Suggest to order separately if needed. Wasyu beef costs $28 for only 6 slices. It's not bad but you cannot be full unless you have noodles. The portion is too small, honestly. You can give it a try but I don't think I'll go there twice.Special Features:
- TheMurrayVIPDined on 8/29/2014I like trying new restaurants but this was just not my cup of tea
- Flavor Flavor!ninaVIPDined on 8/26/2014Little place but BIG taste! So many interesting things to choose from on menu, plus daily specials. Most wonderful are Nabe ( slow cooked ) dishes, so tasty! Next time I'll try shabu shabu hot pot - do try the mackerel, it was excellent!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/15/2014The food was wonderful - delicate flavors balanced so perfectly, with beautiful presentation. For the two of us, we ordered a mix of appetizers, small plates, sashimi and entrees, instead of going for the shabu shabu, which seemed like a popular choice. The waitstaff was very kind, moving us to a warmer and more private table, offering us a sake tasting since we weren't familiar with what to order, and taking time to go over details of the menu. The atmosphere is cozy, and the food and service authentic (compared to my experiences visiting Japan).Special Features:
- The following 24 reviews are from the Momokawa reviews archive.
- Food interesting; uneven timingsablattVIPDined on 6/6/2014I went for dinner with two friends, and had requested that two of us get the kaiseki meal, which must be requested in advance. Our dishes were mostly quite good, very interesting and a great deal for $60 each. However, the timing of our meal with our friend, who ordered a duck ramen and a salad, was very poor. They chose to have him wait a very long time to get his salad while we ate quite a bit, and then he waited even longer for his ramen. I understand timing such disparate orders can be a challenge, but he would have preferred to have eaten and then waited for us than to sit by very hungry as we chowed down. The ramen was bland, although the noodles and duck were cooked beautifully.Special Features:
- Japanese Comfort FoodBrooklynBobVIPDined on 5/11/2014First you must walk up a rickety flight of stairs to get to the small dining room. We are not Japanese but we love Japanese food, especially Sukiyaki. We were surprised that we did not see any of the usual appetizers on the menu ( tempura, negimaki etc.) the waiter explained that they specialized in Japanese Comfort Food. This is what a Japanese family might eat at home. It was an adventure. The food was good, just not what we expected. For the main course we had sukiyaki. The quality of the beef was excellent. The taste was good, but not great. The desserts were creative (eg apple sauce with ricotta cheese). The service was very attentive but not hovering. Before you go, check their website to see if their menu choices are to your liking.
- CheeshDined on 5/10/2014The freshest best sushi and the shabu shabu was amazing. I can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NicknameVIPDined on 4/25/2014Here's a Japanese restaurant that hasn't been Americanized. With few exceptions, you won't find Momakawa's dishes at your neighborhood sushi joint. In fact, you'll find almost no sushi at all at Momokawa. Instead, meals are cooked according to a Japanese tradition that few Americans have experienced. For adventuresome diners, Momokawa provides unusual discoveries that are difficult to duplicate elsewhere in the U.S. Nothing should upset nervous palates, but during a dinner at Momokawa, most Americans encounter new tastes and textures.Special Features:
- great food!YumYumVIPDined on 4/11/2014though place is very small and you have to climb up the narrow stairs before reaching the restaurant level, you will be pleasantly surprised with the high quality food they servce. it is well known amongst Japanese and non-Japanese foodies for its shabu-shabu dish, and I highly recommend anyone to order their course meal, which is plentyful, even for people with healthy appetite. reservation a must. highly recommended.Special Features:
- Rushed outOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/4/2014The food was average - nothing interesting. My friend and I stepped out to have a smoke and I handed them a credit card to hold in good faith, upon coming back I found out that they charged it. Our dessert didn't arrive yet and we were approached and asked to hurry up because other customers were waiting... Very strange and rather unprofessional. Go to Ootoya instead.
- Picked this restaurant randomlyMS2014VIPDined on 3/22/2014Picked this restaurant randomly and was very pleasantly surprised. Very authentic Japanese with a variety of options, including new and familiar tastes.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and Service Thumbs UPMarTDined on 2/21/2014The restaurant staff was friendly and terrific with the service. The Shabu was fantastic. The food was yummy and so fresh. It's a must GO place if you want good intimitate seting with delicious food. It's a no brainer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Could have been greatsgnyDined on 2/1/2014I went with my friend to Momokawa on a Saturday for lunch. I decided to try it because I've read recommendations of the restaurant online. It's a cute little spot in Chelsea. Not noisy and great for conversations. However, the portion of the food is inadequately small and we had to order a lot of dishes (which are also pretty pricy) just to fill our hungry stomach. The taste of their food is okay, not bad but not the best. And the most annoying thing is the unfriendly waitress who was so cold to us. I love the intimate environment of Momokawa, but was disappointed by the food and service.Special Features:
- Lunch with FriendsPebblesDined on 1/13/2014I enjoyed lunch with friends at Momokawa. We all had the lunch special of ramen noodles with shrimp. All three of us enjoyed and felt the spice level was perfect for the broth. We also tried the edamame, tomato with delicious salt and a chicken with avocado appetizer. All three were very tasty but the appetizer portion size was a little small. I will definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine...but overpriced shabu shabuMikyyajDined on 1/7/2014The service and food were all fine, but you get better Shabu Shabu for much cheaper in various East Village haunts. In terms of value, very overpriced for shabu shabu,
- worst restaurant in west villageFifiDined on 12/24/2013I had been several restaurant in new york, but this one is terrible ever!! My boyfriend and I went there for xmas dinner, the place was romantic and love the decor is pretty but the service was not so well and SLOW ! you had to wait for a while finally you could order your food! However, most the food were not so good and fresh plus I ordered some food they even did not have any more....so my boyfriend and I decided to leave early! Anyhow, I won't come back this place anymore but if you like to have some place for drink this place might be good ! otherwise not recommend for people ....Special Features:
- Mediocre food and too loudEddieDined on 12/22/2013We were pincered by two Japanese families on the night of the 22nd (around 8:30ish). We both had the wagyu chef's menu. The appetizers were great. The miso salmon was INCREDIBLY salty. I asked my friend who recommended this place and he said it's not supposed to be. I reckon they messed it up. Shame as that's one of the main dishes... It was so obnoxiously loud. There were two Japanese families with babies who would scream and run around. The adults with them were also so loud that I couldn't hear my girlfriend right in front of me. Not once did any of the staff ask them to stop shrieking. I regret taking her here for her birthday. I've had better Japanese food, for better prices, with better ambience (EN Japanese for example).
- Awkward ambience...OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 12/21/2013Booked a reservation at 4:45. Upon arrival, was notified that we had to be out by 6:00...so an hour to eat? Staff was not particularly nice, food was good though (very traditional Japanese) but not great enough to warrant a repeat visit.Special Features:
- The food is incredible, themayagofferVIPDined on 11/29/2013The food is incredible, the service is great. Every dish I tried there was very good. Atmosphere is cozy and warm. Perfect for cold winters.Special Features:
- Great during winterReeneeVIPDined on 11/26/2013I love hot-pot style food, and this place does make food the way I like it. The service is very attentive, and I like the fact that they have divided seats for 4 people. I really enjoy coming here and the duck nabe is one of my favorites.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 11/23/2013The Chef'sCourse was great! Cant wait to go back again.Special Features:
- Good food but slow serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/19/2013I went to Momokawa with a friend from Tokyo. Last visit was several years ago and the food was good but the service has deteriorated so much that it made me think twice about going back there.Special Features:
- Best Sukiyaki and Shabu Shabu in NYAkiraDined on 11/3/2013Momokawa is a truly genuine first class rJapanese festaurant. Especially, Washu-gyu and Shabu Shabu are excellent as fresh sashimi appetizer.Special Features:
- Fun and interestingCarolepipDined on 10/29/2013First visit to this small, second floor restaurant which seems quite authentic. We did the five course tasting and honestly think it was too much food even though each dish seemed small and light as we ate it. Service team is very friendly and helpful and we certainly hope to return again.Special Features:
- Great Japanese home cocking.AandJVIPDined on 9/21/2013Very well prepared dishes, we enjoyed them very much.Special Features:
- Amazing authentic Japanese!hhh280Dined on 6/2/2013The food was amazing - authentic Japanese sukiyaki, high quality appetizers such as Pork Kakuni. Every dish was very delicious. Even though we didn't pick the more expensive Wagyu beef, the sukiyaki was the best! Although the decor is far from fancy, it's a great, hidden spot for hoodies who love Japanese food. It's like the opposite of trendy celebrity chef spots, where decor is great but serves so-so food. Also it's not too crowded. I'm glad I found this place. Would definitely go back.Special Features:

School of Law Holds First-Ever Community Justice Symposium
For Brenda Bratton Blom, JD, PhD, MPS, director of the Clinical Law Program at the School of Law, instilling respect for public service and access to justice is the building block of a legal education. To that end, Blom organized the first national conference on community justice, held March 8-10 at the law school.
The symposium attracted close to 300 academics, judges, lawyers, and representatives of nonprofit, community, and faith-based organizations to share innovative approaches to addressing crime and providing an effective alternative to the traditional criminal justice system.
"The symposium is about supporting a larger conversation in our society about criminalizing poverty," said Blom, associate professor at the School. "When we send someone to prison for a minor drug offense, can we live with that choice?"
"We're teaching students how to prosecute analytically and to look at the courtroom and ask who's coming through and what communities are being impacted," Blom added. "We're asking, 'What are the lawyer's skills that make a difference in a community's capacities to solve problems?'"
The morning keynote speaker, Elijah Anderson, PhD, professor at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Code of the Street: Decency, Violence, and the Moral Life of the Inner City, described how people living in dense urban areas sometimes view the world differently.
"Murder is so common in black neighborhoods that it barely makes the newspaper," he said. "You'll find the story in the back, back section of the paper. Black people say,'Well, when a white person is killed, that's front page news.' They see a huge discrepancy between how crime is covered in their neighborhood. And this really supports the idea of alienation in the inner city and the code of the street."
Anderson said many black men, poor and undereducated, search fruitlessly for work.
"We have so many people competing for jobs-white, black, immigrants, young, old-that the poor inner city male doesn't stand a chance," he said. "They're thrown back on the streets. The question a young man asked me many years ago still rings in my ears: 'Dr. Anderson, why is it so hard for me to get a job but so easy for me to sell drugs?'"
One alternative approach to dealing with crime, which has attracted international attention and inspired dozens of imitators, was initiated by the Red Hook Community Justice Center, a multijurisdictional community court that handles criminal, family, and housing matters. The center was founded in June 2000 in Brooklyn, New York, in a neighborhood that had been worn down by violence and crime. Judge Alex Calabrese, JD, the presiding judge at Red Hook, delivered the symposium's lunch keynote address. He said community justice courts are making a difference in how the legal system handles "low-level crime that affects the quality of life in the neighborhood."
"In a traditional court system, a person facing a minor drug offense could end up in criminal court for the drug charge, in housing court because he could lose his public housing, and in family court because it could affect his custody agreement," said Calabrese. "We combine it under one roof."
Instead of jail time, offenders are often sentenced to job training, drug counseling, and community service. Red Hook also offers an array of services including education programs and mediation.
"People feel that the Community Center understands their problems and that we can help solve them," said Calabrese.
The symposium also included problem-solving workshops and discussions on building collaborations between communities and government organizations.
Terri Ricks, JD, program manager of the Community Justice Initiative at the School and co-organizer of the symposium, says a teamwork approach to criminal justice is beginning in Baltimore. "You need a comprehensive approach when it comes to problem-solving," Ricks says. "You're looking at changing opportunities for people. But it's not something that happens instantly. We're very fortunate to have the pieces here in Baltimore-we just need to put them together."
Father Gregory Boyle, SJ, a Jesuit priest and founder of Jobs for a Future/Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, delivered an address during the symposium's Community Justice Banquet. Boyle described how he founded the employment referral center and economic development program for at-risk and gang-involved youth in 1988.
Youth were the focus of the symposium's opening night. The Youth Media Showcase-Community Justice: Realities & Possibilities featured 12 video and audio presentations from teenagers throughout the country that addressed the questions: "How can youth-made media impact violence and justice in communities?" and, "What impact does crime and violence have on youth-made media?" A panel discussion followed the presentations.
Click here to watch Terry Hickey, JD, adjunct professor at the School and executive director of the Baltimore program Community Law in Action, and panelist Lendl Tellington, an amateur Baltimore filmmaker, discuss the symposium on a morning news show.

Global Spam Volume on the Decline, Report Shows
Hey, here's some good news: it looks like spam is on the decline. According to Symantec's latest State of Spam and Phishing report, the volume of spam and junk mail in circulation around the world has been decreasing steadily since August, and dropped noticeably around Christmas. No one has a concrete explanation for the drop-off, but Symantec's Eric Park suggests that the demise of major botnets...
2010: A Record Year for Malware
Symantec says that 2010 will wind up being a record-setting year for malware -- that some 95 billion phishing e-mails will have been sent before the New Year. Combined with other spam messages, those e-mails will account for 89-percent of all e-mail traffic during 2010. Of those spam messages, 95-percent are now being sent by botnets, vast groups of hijacked computers. The number of new malicious ...
Stuxnet Worm Is Straight Out of a Cyber Espionage Thriller
Describing a piece of code as the "best malware ever" seems a bit oxymoronic, but Stuxnet might actually fit the bill. The malware has been operating undetected since early this year. In June, it was finally identified by a small security company in Belarus called VirusBlokAda. By early August, Microsoft had confirmed and patched an exploit that Stuxnet was using to target PCs running Windows, but...
Cybercrime Victims Beset With Guilt, Blame Themselves
Victims of cybercrimes are often quite angry about being hacked and snookered. That's not surprising. What might come as a bit of a shock is that most aggrieved blame themselves. According to a survey from Symantec, 54-percent of those who had fallen prey to Internet scams and attacks said they should have been "more careful," while 12-percent said the security breach was entirely their own fault....
Symantec Says 92-Percent of All E-mail is Spam, Phishing Attacks Declining
The amount of spam sent across the world may be growing, but global phishing attacks, at least, seem to be diminishing in number. According to a new report from Symantec, 92-percent of all e-mails sent across the Web today consist of spam, up from 89-percent one year ago. Also, as times have changed, so too has the content of most junk mail. A year ago, most spam subject lines were related to Bara...
Norton 'Safe Web' Scrubs Your Facebook Feed, Detects Malware

On completion, the scan lists the links and describes them as "safe," "warning" or "untest...
New Security Concerns Floating Around in Cloud Computing
While cloud computing might be one of the hottest trends in tech these days, it's not without risks. Both consumers and businesses face hazards that most proponents have been reluctant to discuss. Think of the cloud as a central supercomputer that stores both data and applications. Instead of having to spend thousands on state-of-the-art hardware and graphics cards, you can hook into this ma...
Shaoxing, China Identified as World's Malware Center
According to a recent report by Symantec Corp., the city of Shaoxing, China produces more malware attacks than any other place on this planet. While that might not be a huge surprise, it's shocking just how many of those attacks come from Shaoxing, a city of 4.3 million, and once known for its calligraphy and bridges. While China leads the world with 30-percent of the world's malware, about 21.3-...
Seattle Ranks as America's Most Dangerous City... Online
Share Symantec, maker of the Norton line of security products, conducted a study in which it analyzed the number of cyber-attacks, malware infections, Wi-Fi hotspots, and other factors in order to determine the 50 riskiest online cities. Not surprisingly, Forbes magazine's 2009 most wired city is Symantec's 2010 riskiest city. Seattle, Washington was the most vulnerable city by a large margin,...
90% of E-mail Traffic Is Still Spam
Is your inbox a little fuller than usual, despite not having received any more genuine e-mails from friends? We know why, but you're not going to like it; according to a recent study, over 90-percent of all e-mail is now spam, a huge spike from the 20- to 30-percent mark just a few months ago. That relative spam lull was caused by the shutdown of McColo Corporation in San Jose, California late l...
Spam Levels Still Low After November Shut-Down
A few months ago, the Federal Trade Commission worked to shut down the spammy behavior of one California-based ISP called McColo. The company was found to be hosting a number of so-called botnets (groups of computers that send e-mails and spread malicious software) that were responsible for a huge portion of the world's spam. When McColo was shut down, inboxes around the world breathed a sigh o...
Online Black Market Booms as Cyber Crime Becomes Stealthier
Today's generation of hackers is implementing stealthier methods of online theft, according to USA Today. While, in past days, hackers would infiltrate a company's security system only to wreak havoc, leaving viruses and spam agents in their wake, they are now taking a fly-by-night approach. Increasingly, hackers slip through these systems, only to obtain pertinent information and, as best the...
Computer Viruses Hit 1 Million Mark In 2007

Study Reveals What Your Kids Do Online
Chances are you know reasonably well what you do online (whether or not you're willing to admit it to yourself). You shop, maintain virtual friendships, look for love, and maybe even gawk at some shady material. However, do you know what everyone else is doing online, particularly your kids? Symantec does, thanks to a survey of Internet users from eight countries around the world. While the result...

text: Russell Westbrook Helps OKC Fan with Marriage Proposal Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart Sports 26 Jun 2013 post a comment Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook helped a Thunder fan successfully propose to his girlfriend last Friday on Twitter. Charlie Bright, a recent Oklahoma grad and Thunder fan, randomly sent Westbrook a message on Facebook asking for his help. "I put in big bold letters of my first words on the message as MARRIAGE PROPOSAL," Bright told NewsOK. "Because I wanted to kind of grab his attention as he peeked through his inbox." His girlfriend, Rachel Haycraft, is also a Thunder fan and their first date was at a Thunder game. Two or three days after Bright sent Westbrook a message, he was surprised that Westbrook actually responded with, "I'm down, what's the plan?" Amazingly, Bright and his favorite player were going over the details, which involved Westbrook tweeting to Haycraft at 4:30 p.m. on Friday: .@rachelhaycraft, @chuuuuck1 loves u, he wants to know if u would spend the rest of ur life watching thunder games w/ him. #marryhim #Whynot — Russell Westbrook (@russwest44) June 21, 2013 She said yes!

Growing up, I hated the traditional cabbage rolls but as I've said before, it could be that no one cooked them right. I just remember the cabbage being limp and mushy yet somehow to tough to chew through. I'd take them apart and eat the filling sometimes but I really hated the chunks of diced peppers and onions in the rice/meat mixture (I think the onions & peppers weren't sauteed or cooked? They were always a bit crunchy) . Let's not forget whatever that sauce is on top of them. It may have been just tomato soup out of a can. I'm not sure. Anyway, cabbage rolls were gross in my book.
I call my version "Inside-Out Cabbage Rolls". It's more like a stew. There's no fussing with rolling any sort of mixture up into a cabbage leaf and the cabbage is in small, bite-sized pieces but doesn't overwhelm the dish. One of my kids claims to not like cabbage but she ate 2 bowls of this and loved it.
Inside-Out Cabbage Rolls
Use This Stuff
- half a head of cabbage, cut into chunks
- 1 cup brown rice
- 1 onion,diced
- 1 green pepper,diced
- 1 can of stewed tomatoes
- 1 can tomato paste
- 1 lb of ground turkey OR 1-2 cups of black beans
- water
- Saute the peppers ,onions and ground turkey in a small but of oil. You don't have to do this if you're trying to save time …I just prefer to do it . Cooking the meat first also reduces fat . Either way, put the onions,peppers & meat or black beans into the crock pot.
- throw in the rest of the ingredients with about 2 ½ cups of water or enough to nearly cover all the ingredients in the crockpot.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or 3-4 on high.

Some years ago, silicon-photonics was already an important topic with regard to fast telecommunication solutions, today the focus lies more on datacom, implying that optical interconnect is not only used for long-haul data transmission, but also for on-chip communication, chip-to-chip, chip-to-board, and so on. The major buzzwords in this context are cloud computing, fast Internet and a number of other computer-supported services requiring the highest possible transmission rates. Here, silicon photonics enable data rates to the magnitude of Tbit/s.
However, it is far from easy to place the optical components on the silicon substrate or to handle the optical connectivity necessary to move data to / from the chips. To pave the way to cost-optimized mass production it is necessary to automate a number of complex positioning tasks, adding also machine vision and active measurements.

Social Media Share ButtonsAugust 29, 2011 09:53a.m.
Looking for these?
Does Social Media Help with SEO?
ANSWER: Yes - Social Media is a new factor in the search engine ranking algorithm, but what is not known, is the weight on the scale of importance. Considering Google's new found interest in social media with the controversial launch of Google Plus, or Google+, you can bet your white hat that you better be doing your social media homework. Lets make some assumptions and dive into the mind of Google. Would you say it's a safe bet to assume that Google acquired Blogger to analyze what writers felt like writing about organically? The ability to study the blog network to better assess what's "noteworthy" or "worth a mention" from popular bloggers would make sense. Think about it. If they are writing about you on the blogs, then you are probably important, right? Lets just say, we have our theories.
Now, lets hypothesize about social media for a moment. Would you say it's safe to assume people enjoy sharing things they are passionate about with their closest friends? Would it make sense for Google to want total control of a Social Media environment in order to have complete access to this information? Would this data enable Google the ability to further analyze your online behavior to better refine the search results they serve up to Googlers. Just think about it! Anyway, on to the buttons!
Ah, all social media buttons in one place! We got tired of hunting down these share buttons when we needed them, so we put them all on one page for reference. We will maintain this page to ensure the buttons are always using the latest styles, so bookmark us if you want to make sure you've got the latest buttons. Enjoy!

Isn't Kate Moss kind? For us mere mortals who can only dream of dressing like the supermodel, Mossy has helpfully dished to The Telegraph about her top style tips. So from giving flares a go to overloading on jewels, it's time to listen and learn, ladies...
1. Keep the key pieces
'I'm at my most comfortable in jeans and a blazer, and I'm not afraid of wearing different cuts of denim,' Kate says. 'I love skinny jeans but I'm feeling a flare at the moment - I'm really liking a wide leg.'
2. Pick up a pencil
'The pencil skirt is one of the most useful items to have in your wardrobe as it's always saucy (especially in black) and seems to work for almost everyone.' See the catwalker wearing a Christian Dior Resort 2011 black leather skirt during Paris Fashion Week [above left] for some style-spiration.
3. Go retro
It's no secret Kate's a boho babe and she admits: 'I really love the late 1960s and 1970s, around the time of the Rolling Stones'. She's certainly not afraid of wearing a twinkling jumpsuit, par exemple, and often works the retro trend with a brilliant beehive and smokey eye makeup. 'I don't channel it in everything I wear, but it does seem to feed through most outfits.' Brigitte Bardot, eat yer heart out.
4. Dress for your mood
'Most of the time I dress depending on my mood,' says Mrs Moss-Hince. 'I just throw on whatever I feel like wearing at the time, which tends to come from the palette of black, grey or red.' Well, if it ain't broke...
5. Aim sky-high
It's not often that we see Mossy wearing flats - even when she's popping to the shops, the model tends to sport a heeled boot. 'There are some comfortable heels that you can run around in,' she says, 'but sometimes it's more important to be well presented than to be comfortable.' And bring on the stilettos!
6. And accessorise!
According to Kate: 'I always turn to the scarves, hats and sunglasses in my wardrobe'. But she warns that wearing too many accessories at once 'can look very bad'. Yikes. 'I don't have any strict rules, but my husband does say not to wear a hat with glasses because I look as if I'm trying to wear a disguise.' But she's rarely without a main staple: a pair of Ray-Bans. In fact, the star keeps a stash in her bag and 'lots of pairs at home because they seem to go missing'. And jewellery? 'I don't think you can ever have too much.' Hurrah!
For more tips from Mossy herself, check out the full interview at Telegraph.co.uk

Discussing sexuality is often avoided due to the sensitive, personal nature of the subject. However, it is important to acknowledge sexuality as an integral part of life.
Sexuality affects many areas including self-image and relationships. If you have questions about sexuality, don't be afraid to talk to your doctor or other healthcare team members. Your healthcare professionals understand the impact cancer and its treatments can have on sexuality.
Cancer and its treatments can influence sexuality in a variety of ways. Sometimes it causes physical changes due to surgical procedures or weight loss. Likewise, it can have psychological impact because of anxiety, fear, or depression. Side effects of chemotherapy or radiation treatment, such as nausea or fatigue, can interfere with sexual desire or participation in social engagements. Financial burdens can also be a source of worry.
Not everybody undergoing cancer treatment will experience sexual problems, but if you do, understanding how cancer treatments may affect you will help you deal with the changes.

Orphaned Fox Cubs
Posted by dorsetwildlife on April 15, 2009
Every year we take in orphaned fox cubs…The vast majority are orphaned as a direct result of Man's actions, we seem unable to co-exist with any creatures, but foxes find 'us' a tough prospect in every respect………. We hunt their parents, we set snares and traps for them, we poison them, we shoot them, we dig up and destroy their earths and we kill thousands on our roads every year. Between Feb and June, every dead adult means cubs left to go hungry…. some will survive with just one parent, as long as they are able to reach a couple of months in age. Many will not….they will simply starve to death…….. These are a few of the lucky ones……

ARMORED CORE V is a new entry that ups the ante with more content than the previous games, a completely new atmosphere, and a robust offline mode. In addition, the online mode has been newly designed to focus on huge team-based battles on a global scale. … Expand

Mar 20, 2012Armored Core takes an important turn in its conception, offering a cohesive online world in which the player action influences the conquest of the eight regions the Armored Core V is divided into. This idea works very well, and the game also offers lots of customization options for the robots.
Mar 23, 2012Even if you're aggravated early on, don't take this game at face value. From Software has developed some of this generation's most interesting games, and obtuse or not, Armored Core V is one of them.
Mar 23, 2012The developers stayed true to 100% Mech customization, with over 500 parts that seem to offer infinite possibilities. Unfortunately, the singleplayer experience suffers from most work clearly having gone into the multiplayer aspects. With those, however, Armored Core V offers an extensive Mech MMO.
Mar 23, 2012Armored Core V is really designed to be enjoyed one way, and only that way. If you have a dedicated group of friends to play with, then I highly recommend giving this game a whirl. The missions are varied, and teaming up to take over territories is truly a blast. However, if you intend to fly solo, there is no happy medium to the game's structure.
Jun 13, 2012The process of building mechs then testing their mettle on the battlefield is Armored Core V's strongest element, but with another showing like this if there ever is a sixth Armored Core, the longtime mech franchise may be dishonorably discharged.
May 12, 2012Armored Core V is not for brand new gamers. The single player is shameless because no one else can see your inexperience, but newbies will get eaten alive if they try to join a team of seasoned AC vets.
Mar 26, 2012Even once I worked past the game's convoluted, tutorial-free systems and understood how to build a mech, I found myself in a constant state of despondency. I just can't get myself to care about the customization and persistent world when everything surrounding it so poorly designed and not the least bit fun. I mean, at least give me loot. Give me something!
Score distribution:
Positive: 10 out of 14
Mixed: 3 out of 14
Negative: 1 out of 14
Mar 21, 2012Obviously, the game has its faults. FROM Software has been known to make some frustrating games. That being said, it was almost the fact that I have had such an amazing time with Dark Souls that I bought this game, and I am very happy that I did. While it has a steep learning curve, I found that playing with my friends, unlocking equipment and making my AC better has been a real blast, and has definitely scratched my Chromehounds itch. I like the slower pace; back to the roots of the series.
If you want some amazingly fun giant mech multiplayer, be sure to get this title -- don't get it for its singleplayer. Learning, while frustrating at times, is so rewarding. Be sure to give this one a chance, you won't regret it.… Expand
Apr 16, 2012Armored Core V is probably the best Mecha-style video game ever made. If you cannot play it online then you are missing out on the real fun of the game, for sure. Armored Core has always been a game franchise whose ethos is rooted in two things: 1.) ultra competitive online play and 2.) hundreds of hours worth of customizing your Armored Core, or AC (i.e. Battlemech/Mobile Suit/Arm Slave, etc...pending on your discourse for robo-facebeating). AC5 is an exception to this in one major way: it also offers a seriously awesome cooperative function! Looks like From Software realized after Dark Souls and Demon's Souls that online cooperative mixed with pvp is the way to go! The decal/emblem creation function is the best in AC5 out of all AC games; my ACs are all amazing looking, and they each handle totally differently. The ability to tailor an AC so that it can fit any number of play styles or missions is unbelievably effective. AC5 introduces a streamlined system of parts integration in which parts actually effect each other's performance like "amp" traits in RPG style games. Certain heads can amplify the power and speed of your boosters, for example. It's really cool. My favorite AC games were AC3 and AC3 Silent Line, which both featured very difficult controls; however, the controls in AC4 did a lot to simplify the gameplay, for new players--honestly I think they did too much. AC5 is the perfect blend of simplified and advanced controls; anyone can pick it up and play effectively immediately, but with time it is possible to get really good with the controls to the point where the player's piloting skill actually matters; you could put two people in the same build of an AC, but the veteran player will have a slight advantage--that's how it should be. AC5 draws a lot of flack for its short missions. Every AC ever made has had short missions, except AC4 which had slightly longer missions; if you are entering the franchise from AC4, then AC5 will feel very quick. Here's what you should notice about AC5: 1.) there are almost no load times ever 2.) the pvp is only quick when people play rush tactics; advanced players will not do this, and protracted pvp battles in AC are amazing--when you're almost out of ammo and it comes down to a blade fight it is like OMG sick 3.) the game is more about the fun of building uber competitive ACs for either coop or pvp than it is about playing single player missions; if you're thinking about it as a single player game, you're probably not thinking about it in terms of getting an "S" rank in every mission. Single play is not about winning, it's about winning in the most insanely difficult way possible, and if you can do that, the game rewards you with awesome parts, and a lot of team points [multiplayer wager currency] 4.) it's awesome when you network play with friends, and the 8-10 [total] player team pvp is extra cool when your buddies are sitting right next to you. If you haven't ever played an AC game, AC5 is a great place to start. I vote you should go buy a copy. NOW.… Expand
Apr 5, 2012The Best Armored Core game so far. Those who love the mech action genre is gonna love this game. Front Mission Evolved should have been this game. If only Squeenix chose From Software instead of crappy Developers... Anyway, this game plays so much like the old school AC games, which is great. Gone are the flying dual rifles, missile spamming days of AC4/FA. Now, you need to think tactically to flank your adversaries. Great Team online play and customizations options. -- Veteran of AC games since AC: Project Phantasma.… Expand
Nov 13, 2013Like every new number in the Armored Core franchise, the game completely re-works all of the mechanics of the previous entry. Unlike Armored Core 4 or 4A, Armored Core V handles a bit more like the third generation of Armored Core games. There are a few balance issues, and the frame rate can get very low when there is a lot of on-screen chaos, but I would still recommend this game to anyone who loves Mechs.
The biggest issue in the game is the user interface, but that has always been a problem in the Armored Core series.… Expand
Jun 3, 2014For fans of mech games like me this is a great game especially now since the Chromehounds servers have been taken down. There is a great level of customisation and the multiplayer is very fun. The campaign is a bit lackluster.… Expand
Mar 21, 2012Good game, have some mistakes, for example it's same like the other Armored Core games, but that's okay, I believe that can be better, this Armored Core is good, for play if you dno't have other game.… Expand
Apr 2, 2012Like all the other AC games,If only the actual game was anything remotely like it is in the CGI bits... Your supposed to be in a big robot.A walking tank.So why are you skating,zipping & flying all over the place like a ninja!? Unfortunately i'm still waiting for my perfect Mech game,with a tactical,considered pace,thats as much about squad commands,positioning & damage/systems managment than anything else.The Core customisation tantalises at the depth this game could've had,but as soon as you start playing,any sense of all that evaporates as quickly as the Cores themselves.The Co-Op is good though,& definately something to build on,if they can get the actual gameplay right.… Expand

I'm reasonably pleased, Alonso reports
|P. Maldonado
|N. Rosberg
|S. Vettel
20 July 2012 – Fernando Alonso was not jumping to conclusions following two more wet F1 practice sessions in Germany on Friday. As rain showers of various intensities very much shook up the field, the championship leader finished early and fell down to 20th position.
"All in all, I am reasonably pleased with how things went," explained the Ferrari driver, who won the last Formula 1 race at Hockenheim when allowed through by Felipe Massa two years ago.
"We ran in various conditions, going from the dry to a damp track and then a completely wet one; tomorrow, at least according to the weather forecast at the moment, we could have a very similar scenario to today when it comes to qualifying.
"The car behaved well in all conditions, which is always a good thing, and we were also able to see how the various types of tyre worked and when the right moment was to switch from one to another.
"The technical updates on the car? We did not have enough time to evaluate them in depth; let's hope we can do that tomorrow."
Said team-mate Massa ended his day in 12th place.

Military Seeks Human Biochips to Speed Drug Testing
New drugs or vaccines must pass animal trials to prove safe enough for human clinical testing, but mice and rats still represent imperfect test subjects for substances aimed at helping humans. That's why the U.S. military's science agency wants to replace rodents with miniaturized biochip versions of human body parts and organs.
The specially engineered human tissue could do much more than act as a guinea pig without feelings; it would likely produce much more accurate results related to the effects of drugs or vaccines. The Pentagon's DARPA even envisions biochips helping to speed up drug and vaccine production to ward off contagious threats, such as a possible pandemic or a bioterrorism attack.
"This cheaper, faster and more predictive approach to drug screening could speed the development and improve the evaluation of innovative medicines, bringing needed products to patients safer and faster," said Margaret Hamburg, commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
DARPA and the National Institutes of Health each plan to spend up to $70 million on the new Microphysiological Systems program over five years, with guidance from the FDA about safety and effectiveness standards. The project launched its request for proposals on Sept. 16.
Successful biochips must replicate the functions of human organs and physiological systems, so that drug and vaccine tests can effectively simulate what would really happen in the human body. Such systems cover the whole range: circulatory, endocrine, gastrointestinal, immune, integumentary, musculoskeletal, nervous, reproductive, respiratory and urinary.
Until now, drug and vaccine testing has only tried using isolated human cells in the lab. But researchers have shown that they can create elaborate constructs of human cell types a possible starting point for making the desired biochips.
If successful, the U.S. military can revolutionize development of countermeasures against bioterrorism threats. The pharmaceutical industry could expect cheaper, faster drug and vaccine development for its business. Patients might receive a new generation of safer, more effective drugs. And anyone who feels guilty about animal testing may have their conscience eased just a little bit more.

Dani Pedrosa scored the first wet weather Grand Prix victory of his career earlier today after he triumphed in atrocious conditions at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.
The Repsol Honda rider was leading the way in monsoon conditions when the race was red flagged on lap 13, with Race Direction declaring conditions too dangerous to continue.

from Dani, he chose the hard rear, and was on Lorenzo's arse from the word go. Now then, Stoner's race craft and fitness 'in doubt' I don't think so, a top performance from Stoner, controlled,, closing down Lorenzo, and as he closed, Lorenzo wanted 'out of the playground', a shame it couldn't run to the end, or made a restart, as Stoner had the pace for an easy 2nd.
They've forecast rain for Phillip Island !!!!, roll on next Sunday. It ain't over till it's over.

The red flag came out at just the right moment for Lorenzo - with the rain beating down, a worn-out soft rear tyre and Stoner reeling him in. Nice timing that.

Never been a Dani fan, but the little dude is on fire! Of course J-lo does not have to win and is sparing i believe his last engine? Plus Jorge getting his way with the red flag today. In the media the focus might be on J-lo cruising and rightly ging for the championship. But Dani deserves some credit, i reckon he could take Jorge when J-lo was the 1 with less points as well. Verry impressed by Dani for weeks now.

and just saved by race control "Lucky Lorenzo", only a fall away from zero points!! Now that would have made the last 2 races interesting!! It's all to play for now and what a battle we're going to have at Philip Island and hopefully a championship decider at Cheste!! Would love to see it going down to the wire, as it is suerely going to do now. Anything could happen as Lorenzo sees his points advantage disappearing fast. As Stoner can't win this year I reckon Dani deserves it!! Memories of Rossi dropping it in 2006!!!!!!! Ciao

I reckon that save did win him the championship. That kind of skill/luck is exactly what is required when required. Had he gone down D.Pedrosa would have kept his hand on the bars and then pointed at the sky +1 lap later.
A great ride yet again from Pedrosa, he's gone up hugely in my estimations and it will be a shame if he doesn't win it, although it's obviously unlikely without drama. He can't be questioned for his speed and commitment, although I'm sure Wosi will try.
It was good to see another shite performance from Rossi although I'm sure the moronic contingent of this site will continue to delude themselves with froth and other bullshit.

"As an improviser, he (Evan Christopher) has lots of tools — equal facility in the full range of his instrument, switching in and out of triplet phrasing, storytelling and theme building. But what impresses you most about his solos is their immediacy. He has a thick tone with a hoarse edge, and he'll often play a simple phrase with complicated emotion rather than vice versa; he's not glib or lighthearted."
— The New York Times
THE EVAN CHRISTOPHER TRIO brings its New Orleans Jazz tradition to Gainesville. Clarinetist, Evan Christopher is a refreshingly bright light on the international Jazz scene. He combines virtuosity, immaculate taste and enthusiasm with a deep commitment to exploring the full range of musical possibilities. Anchored in the musical vocabulary created by early Creole clarinetists, Christopher has created a highly personal brand of "contemporary early-jazz" that strives to extend the legacy of this unique clarinet style. His tone is warm, woody, fluid and swooping. In July 2010, he had the honor to debut his 'Treat It Gentle Suite,' the first concerto written for clarinet and Jazz band in the New Orleans style, with the Minnesota Orchestra.

Meet Evan Christopher
Clarinetist, Evan Christopher is a refreshingly bright light on the international jazz scene. He combines virtuosity, immaculate taste, and enthusiasm with a deep commitment to exploring the full range of possibilities in the New Orleans Jazz tradition. Anchored in the musical vocabulary created by early Creole clarinetists such as Sidney Bechet, Omer Simeon, and Barney Bigard, he has created a highly personal brand of "contemporary early-jazz" that strives to extend the legacy of this unique clarinet style.
Christopher's journey on Clarinet Road began in 1994 when he left his native California for New Orleans to be a part of the country's most important and historic music community. He worked with musicians as stylistically diverse as Al Hirt and veterans of Preservation Hall to funk and brass bands including the Nightcrawlers and Galactic, before leaving to join the Jim Cullum Jazz Band in San Antonio, Texas in 1996. For nearly three years, he appeared nightly as their featured clarinetist and recorded several of their syndicated radio programs, Riverwalk: Live from the Landing.
Christopher returned to New Orleans to be an ambassador for the New Orleans clarinet style. Besides his own "Clarinet Road" series of CDs (STR Digital), he has recorded alongside New Orleans artists including Big Al Carson, Duke Heitger, Narvin Kimball, Uncle Lionel Battiste, and Tom McDermott. After the the Federal levees failed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in August, 2005, he traveled continuously and even based himself briefly in Paris at the invitation of the French government. During this artist-residency, he formed his current groups, the JazzTraditions PROJECT and Django à la Créole. The latter, fusing Gypsy Swing with New Orleans grooves and rhythms of le monde Créole, released their debut CD, "Django à la Créole" in 2008 and a second outing, "Finesse," in 2010 (Frémeaux & Associés). As a composer, his original songs are the high point of critically acclaimed CDs such as "Delta Bound" featuring pianist Dick Hyman (Arbors, 2007), "The Remembering Song" featuring guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli (Arbors, 2010), and the Grammy-winning New Orleans Jazz Orchestra's "Book One." In July 2010, he had the honor to debut his "Treat It Gentle Suite," the first concerto written for clarinet and jazz band in the New Orleans style, with the Minnesota Orchestra.
Mr. Christopher began his musical training on clarinet at age 11. In high school, he received the Louis Armstrong National Jazz Award and was one of the first graduates of the prestigious Idyllwild Arts Academy. He continued studies at the University of Southern California and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's degree from California State University, Long Beach. Published research and presentations on the New Orleans clarinet style initiated pursuit of a Masters degree in Musicology at Tulane University. Having returned to New Orleans in 2008, Christopher is an advocate for the cultural workforce and jazz-based music education. He even taught part-time at the University of New Orleans where he coached a "New Orleans Music Ensemble" that performed with guest mentors such as Lucien Barbarin and Marcus Roberts. When not touring, he appears as as a guest with groups such as the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra and is a charter member of jazz composer guild, NOLA ArtHouse Music.

Hey all,
I've been trying to make a spec for myself and came up with the following:
Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
I've been trying to play around and figure out if it's good or bad, but so far it's working well.
Anyone have an idea of the following:
1. is it worth getting : Judgment of The Just?
2 Is Divine Sacrifice and Divine Guardian worth to use points in?
3. Seal of the Pure, I never really had it, but tanks all around are using it. Is it worth getting, even thought I'm using Seal of Wisdom.

I didn't really change my Glyphs, but planning to do so very soon.


text: Over the last 6 years, much has been made about how banks lost their way when it came to putting themselves ahead of customers in the lead up to the financial crisis. How customers were screwed over in the quest for profits. How moral compasses were broken. Responding to outrage over the marked shift in how business is done, banks have commissioned studies, investigated claims, and promised to change. Up until this week, though, a bank CEO had yet to perform a play about how his firm had found its way through the wisdom of a fictional brothel owner. Thankfully, Gerrit Zalm took it upon himself to fill that void. Read more »

A marriage is a lifelong promise between a woman and a man. This thing strengthens their relation and gives their life another meaning. The concept of marriage is in every culture and every religion. Marriage is surely the best way to maintain the relationship between the both partners and for the bringing of their children well. People are now smarter about getting married and they are marrying when they think they are stable enough financially. However, get married when you think it's the right man and the right time. Take your time and think hard before taking the final decision.
And if you've met the right guy, then you should start planning for your wedding! Marriage ceremonies need detailed planning, family, relatives and best friends' plays a major role in arranging the marriage. Marriage traditions vary between countries and ethnic groups. In most marriage ceremonies, the couple makes vows to not leave each other and love each other till their death after that the couple's family and friends give them speeches and different gifts to show their love and support.
In western culture, the bride wears a white colored gown whereas the groom wears a suit or tuxedo in black color usually. Followed by a wedding ceremony is a reception. Every country and culture has its own tradition to celebrate a wedding:
Western weddings:
Customary American weddings take place in a church or chapels and family and friends of the bride and groom gather to support and celebrate this love day with them. However, some people choose other destinations according to their wish or desire like beaches, hotels or farmhouses etc. Bride's wear white long gown with a veil because white is a symbol of purity. She holds a flower bouquet in her hands and the type she chooses indicate her emotions towards this day. Bridesmaids also play a very important role in western marriage ceremonies, they surround the bride to save her from the evil spirits (according to the myths) the dress code of the bridesmaid is chosen by the bride herself. Usually the color she chooses coordinates with the wedding theme. Maid of honor is usually the bride's close friend.
For the groom, a close friend of him becomes best man and given a place of respect and admiration and some other relative become groomsmen to support him.
The circular shaped ring is also an integral part of the wedding; this ring connects the bride and groom and is a symbol of a forever relation, they are usually made up of gold, diamond or other metals. Flower girl and ring bearer are also the part of the rituals.
On the wedding day, bride and groom make vows to be with each other forever and cut the cake and everyone celebrates with them this day.
Western Wedding Rituals in an order:
- Getting engaged
- Rehearsal Dinner
- Wedding day
- Reception line
- Reception day
- Entrance of wedding party
- Serving of food
- Cutting of a grand wedding cake
- Throwing the Garter
- Bouquet throwing
- Dances
- Thank you speeches
On the day of the wedding, the bride and groom are told about their duties and responsibilities towards each other by the priest and they agrees upon them by saying "I do"
Eastern weddings:
Indian weddings are quite exciting and fun. They're very popular worldwide and generally categorized into pre-wedding ceremony, marriage day ceremony and Bidaai. On the day before the wedding ceremony, the female friends of bride decorate the bride's hands while singing songs and they call it "Mehndi". Bride tries to look at her best with gold and diamond jewelry and wears the traditional saree or lehnga (usually in red color) Groom wears a sherwani or kurta shalwar. On the wedding day, they walk in circles (pheray) around the fire and make vows.
While marriages in Islamic world are quite different, it is known as 'Nikkah' in urdu and it can be held at any time of the day or date because there is nothing like "muhurat" or "positive time" in Islam. In old times, it used to be held at bride's or groom's place or in masjid. But with the passing time, this trend has been changed and now Muslims celebrate this day in hotels, beaches, farm houses etc. A Muslim wedding is also divided into pre-wedding, wedding (baraat) and post-wedding (valima) customs. And greatly resembles to Indian weddings.
Weddings, in every religion, country and ethnic group are supposed to be a respectful thing and the wedding day is supposed to be a day to celebrate love so try to make it the most memorable one!

CNC usually stands for "Computer Numerical Control",and it's attributed to any device controlled by a computer.
The image is of a home-built 3-axis CNC engraver, this one uses a rotory tool like a "Dremel" as the spindle, as you can see in the image there is a large wood gear, it's 1/8" (3.17mm) plywood. The machine can make the same gear in Aluminum or even some mild steel.
Not only will the machine in the image cut material but it can layer it too, making it a 3D-Printer. A plugin and some firmware with Arduino will get the machine printing with "Mach-3".
For more details just click on the image or continue reading.
A little history on the "CNC": The CNC's been used in fabrication of everyday items since the early 1970's, before that date it was called "NC", short for "Numerical Control", although in the 70's the CNC machines where developed and mainly used for production in the aviation industry.
Below you will find categories associated with computer numerical control. If you have any questions relating to a topic or just have a comment or two please feel free to use the feed back forms or send an email any time.
Find some products used to build or repair CNC machines; request CNC-programming services or consultation, that's what we're here for.
Build a CNC Simulator!!!
Just a new link and something very cool very worth trying.
Click on the Picture to view the original website, you can build your own using the Bill Of Materials, and image found on the same page.
CNCstuff Rules!!
A driver board is used to connect a motor to a breakout board, the breakout board interfaces with the outside world, the driver board connects to the breakout board to control stepper motors.
Encoders can also be used to determine motor shaft location. The TB6560 is a common IC for people building a CNC.
A "Breakout Board" interfaces your computer with the outside world; hence the term Breakout. The board may have a PLC and a few other parts or it may be a parallel connection, like a DB25, RS232, USB, or even a 100-pin connector.
The Breakout-Board allows you to connect your computer to external devices like a set of lights, a switch, or a drill press with the help of a circuit that contains electrical components like, resisors, MOSFET,s ,Relays, Driver-IC,s , and many others.
You can make your own or purchase breakout boards,.
Do you have or are you planning to procure the Red TB6560 Breakout and Driver board in the image.
If you have this PCB from "E-Bay", "Amazon", or some other place you'll probably need some software for it and we can help.
We have the configuration file and it's only $1.88, once we receive payment you will be emailed the software along with instructions on how to use it.
For a limited time only, we're giving away some working "G-code" to help you get started or test the configuration file you just purchased. The code is of a "Gripper" found on "Thingiverse" and Good for "EMC" or "Mach-3" machine software, the code has been setup to account for a 1/16" offset, we will send you 1/8" if requested...
|3D Printer Parts
We may not have them... but you can still inquire, you're next in line.
Please note: When we have more ready they might not be the same color as in the image.
These are printed parts for a 3D Printer.
You can use these parts and a few other items to print more parts; you're just missing some hardware, (Vitamins in the world of 3D printing), and some electronics (The brains).
The Hardware needed can be found locally if you're in a city, or can be collected from old paper printers or other junk device.
Electronics can be found online and in most cases can be found locally; the only other part you may need to buy online is the PCB.
The parts we have for sale where printed using "Generation-6" electronics, "Sprinter" Firmware, "Pronterface" (machine software), and "Slic3r" (G-code Generator/ slicing program).
Some people just use the Atmega-2560 along with some $15 dollar stepper chips found on Ebay called the "Eazy Driver" for electronics, and many other alternatives exist.
Email to request your set today, parts start at $80 and may require 1-3 days to produce, depending on demand and machine ("Huxley" or "Mendel").
For custom print jobs and conceptual work please email for a free quote.
Some 3D printers melt plastic to form a part by extracting the melted plastic in fine layers, these machines are construced by do it yourselfers everywhere. a 3D printer will run using just one micro controller, a common micro controller is the Arduino, this link "Control a 3D printer with a single Arduino" open source micro controller shows some pin-out, "I/O" information.
Commercial 3D printers can cost over 50,000 USD, but some people using plans and parts found on whatisacnc.com and on other websites build 3D printers using common parts for under 1,000 USD.
In this image we have a programmable logic controller, it's an Arduino.
A USB controller board with an Atmega Integrated Circuit (IC).
The Arduino is an open source project, all the gerber files can be found with "Eagle" software.
Arduino is used in many projects, infact you can find literature and free sorce code all over the web for free, and people make CNC machines using it.
If you buy the "AVR" Integrated Circuit you may want to look into a USBtinyISP Atmel Prorgammer, these are used to flash the IC with a Bootloader, so Firmware can be added later in the form of C++ using the Arduino IDE and computer USB port.
The gripper.
For many years robotic arms have been used to place/ remove/ paint/ or assemble value added components to make the things we use everyday.
In many cases these arms in industry do the very difficult, dangerous, or repetitive tasks you and I would rather not do ourselves or simply couldn't do on our own.
Click on the image to read about the software and see what sort of things can be made using a CNC mill. "G-Code" example included for a simple part of the Gripper
Buy the Sketch (Firmware) today and see how it makes things move based on your commands. This Firmware will make programming seem a little more clear.
7-Axis Robot Gripper using Hobby Servos.
The image to the right is of an "Unimat-3" with a 24V 3A power supply and the "Blue TB6560 driver board" assembly noted above.
The link will take you to a home built lathe and all the details of the built to date.
To learn more about lathes and computer controlled lathes just brows the website, visit the forum or ask the administrator.
The most common motor used in CNC machines is the stepper motor, there are three kinds of stepper motor, but most today are hybrid. Contained here you will find lots of data on the motor, including history, benefits of each kind, the math behind operation, and how to control them.
The image is of a 300-Watt Spindle.
Please click on the image for more details.
Computer-Aided-Manufacturing is a very important part of the CNC process.
The CAM software generates G-code and M-code ( in some cases also depends on machine make) from a computer drawing.
CAM software allows an operator or CNC programmer (You) to setup a tool path.
You decide where and how the machine cuts material, including setting up offsets, tool changes if your machine has the ability, and many other things with ease thanks to a useful GUI (Graphical User Interface).
Click on the image to view a list of all the known CAM programs available, a lot of the products provide a free trial.
Wattage also known as (P) or (Power) is the overall power used, it includes Voltage and Amperage, it is important when selecting a power-supply because if you don't have the correct Wattage, but your Voltage and Amperage are correct, "brown-outs" will occur because only some of that Voltage and some of the Amperage are being supplied, you determine Wattage using this simple equation: V x A = P (Voltage X Amperage = Wattage).
A phase converter is used in machines powered by a dc motor, stepper motor info is available below, the phase converter provides smooth power to the motor, it protects electronics and provides a smooth sine wave.
A Milling Machine:
Basic machines will generally have three verticle plains of movment. Each plain is concidered an Axis. Some machines are Computer Numerically Controlled using electronics and stepper motors. Some people use a Dremel tool, Router, Marker, Blade, Plastic Extruder, Insert, or electric motor as a spindle, the objective is to guide a cutting bit threw the material rather than force the cutting bit threw the material.
If you're just starting it's a challenge to find good information to test with, sometimes you just need that reference point or a simple "Axiom".
To help we're offering a free G-Code file for Mach-3. The total size is less than 100mm in either direction and good for the "Red-Tb6560" working with "Mach3". It can also be resized in "LazyCam" for free and it'll work.
Email your request for a free sample today and have it tomorrow.
There are many different kinds of limit switches.
When tripped a limit switch stops the movment of the CNC machine with the help of the software.
The software listens/ monitors to the "I/O" that the end-stop/ limit-switch connects to.
Limits provide feed-back to the software, they are used to "home" the CNC-machine or protect the CNC from crashing.
What is an encoder
An encoder is a device used to measure the location of a shaft, it is used in a closed loop system and is based on an initial reference point. They are used in very precise applications.
Backlash is the movement found in lead screws, nuts when they are loose on a bolt or ready/ rod. Sometimes it is almost not noticeable to the naked eye or by feel but it can influence the item your cutting. Backlash does not compound over distance.
A closed loop system, and an open loop system, what the difference is and what you should use.
a closed loop system uses a feedback system to operate, usually a dc setup. Open loop is usually a stepper motor setup; no feedback is provided to the computer.
