The most basic idea behind circuitbending is the art of the creative short-circuit. Basically this amounts to taking a piece of wire and soldering it across two points on a circuit board in order to send digital data into places on the circuit where is was never meant to be. Very occasionally this will result in a puff of smoke and a sad fizzing noise but with experience you can persuade an otherwise dull machine to disgorge sounds more savagely ferocious than you could have possibly imagined. Obviously we can't go into specific details for every machine on this page but here are some basics to get you started.
For a first bending attempt you really can't go far wrong with a speak&spell, theres loads of information out there, you can't fail to get some good results and they are difficult to kill, unless you mess with the power supply board, so don't. Theres nothing for you there.
What you're going to need to get started:
We're not actually sponsored by Rapid or JPR Electronics in any respect, it was just easier to find links to general examples on those sites. You can probably find equivalent items at any decent sized supplier in your country.
Soldering Iron - Don't just buy the cheapest thing you can find from Maplins or Radio Shack. It'll be a false economy and you'll just end up getting frustrated and end up buying something better anyway. We've been using a couple of THESE for years and they work fine. The yellow irons made by Antex are also perfectly usable
Solder - Lead free solder is crap. Honestly, its almost unusable. Yes, its not going to poison you but then neither is solder that contains lead unless you eat the stuff. Lead free solder needs a much higher temperature iron which is inevitably going to melt plastic bodied components, and you'll end up with no end of dry joints. Theres a reason why medical and military electronics is exempt from rules on lead content in solder. Just get some standard 60/40 tin/lead solder similar to THIS or THIS. Smaller amounts will be available from stores like maplin or Radio shack, or sites like ebay
Resistors - You don't need anything expensive or over specified here. Go for 1/4 watt carbon film resistors and buy in packs of 100. That may seem like a lot but you'll use them sooner or later, and its the same price to buy 100 from a decent supplier as it is to buy 10 from a high street shop. These resistors from Rapid are fine and cost just over 50 pence for 100. Carbon film resistors have an accuracy of 5% either way of the stated value. This is fairly insignificant in electronics terms, but if you need something more accurate in the future you can get metal film resistors which are twice the price, but have a 1% accuracy. You will inevitably build up a collection over time but good starting values would be 22R, 100R, 220R, 470R, 1K, 2K2, 4K7, 10K, 47K, 100K, 220K, 470K, 1M and 10M. If you live in the US the 470R, 4K7, 47K and 470K values will probably be 500R, 5K, 50K and 500K, although we've never been entirely sure why this is.
Potentiometers - around 1K, 47K, 100K, 470K and 1M to get started. Pots are cheap so its probably a good idea to get a stock of a few different types. Start with linear and get hold of some log response pots if you find that all of the pots effect is up at one end of its rotation, Splined shaft pots made by ALPHA are probably the most popular types, but you can also get small pots with solid metal shafts like THESE or larger ones with plastic shafts like THESE. Entirely PLASTIC POTS are also available for slightly less demanding jobs. The type of shaft your pots have will determine what kind of knobs you can use.
Output Jacks - Just about any audio socket you can find would be usable, but 2 pole (mono) 1/4" or 6.35mm jack sockets are the most popular. You might as well get switched ones with 'break contacts' as they are usually about the same price as non-switched ones. You may not know what that means yet, but think of it as a normal socket with an added bonus.
Wire - We usually use 10/0.1 equipment wire for general work. The numbers 10/0.1 mean that the wire has 10 strands each measuring 0.1mm in diameter. We also us 7/0.2 wire for anything that needs to have a stronger connection. Anything thicker than that and you're liable to have space issues if you are using a lot or wiring, but it should still do the job.
Switches - Theres some useful information on Wikipedia about the various types of switch, e.g. SPST, SPDT, 3PDT etc. The main thing to say about switches is that it doesn't pay to buy cheap rubbish. Never buy switches with plastic threads for the fixing nut like THESE as they are useless. The thread will strip from the shaft when you tighten the nut and the soft plastic will melt when you solder the contacts. If you want to buy sub-miniature toggle switches then THESE are a much better bet. Just about any panel mount standard size (sometimes called miniature) toggle switch from a reputable supplier will be alright. Switches like THESE are fine and you can often get bargain packs of 50 or 100 switches from Hong Kong based sellers on ebay. The quality of switches from China can vary wildly so be careful, but these people are usually alright.
The most useful switch types are SPST, but SPDT, DPDT and SPDT 'centre off' are also useful. For guitar pedals you will most likely want 3PDT foot switches
Push to break buttons - These come as various shapes and sizes but the most commonly used ones seem to be THESE or something like THESE. Don't buy the really cheap ones like THESE. When they say 'These switches are not suitable for industrial applications' what they mean is 'These switches are not suitable for ANY applications'.
Push to make buttons - The same as above but they make the connection when you press the button rather than breaking it. There are hundreds of different designs of push to make switches.
Screwdrivers & bits - Jewelers screwdrivers are always useful, as are a set of philips head screwdrivers and some torx / hex bits.
Drill - To drill holes for switches and controls. Dremel type multipurpose hobby drills are a lifesaver.
Knobs - There are thousands of different types of knobs available. The main things you need to look out for are the type of pot shaft they are designed for. The most common types are splined/serrated and D-shaft, which are both push on knobs, and 6mm/6.35mm shaft, which tighten to the pot shaft with a grub screw.
What you may need in the future:
Multimeter - to test for continuity and for voltages. This doesn't need to be anything really expensive as THIS will do the job for well under £10. You'll probably want something a little better after a while so it might be an idea to just start with something like THIS
Solder Sucker - Sooner or later you're going to want to remove a component from a circuitboard. Combined with solder wick, the solder sucker / desoldering pump is the one of the most effective ways to do it.
Solder mop / wick - Like a solder sponge that sucks melted solder from joints. Comes under various guises and thicknesses but THIS is a decent version at a good price.
Patchbay Sockets - Some people go for multiple PHONO SOCKETS, others go for 3.5mm JACKS and others go for single pole 4mm SOCKETS. Which one to chose is often dictated by the space available and the thickness of the panel.
LED's - There are hundreds of different types of LED's in dozens of different colours. Its often a lot cheaper to buy a bag of 50 or 100 LED's from China than it is to buy 10 or 20 from a normal supplier. Theres loads of information and tools for using LED's HERE including a very handy LED resistor calculator.
Guitar Practice Amp - Not immediately obvious but they are built to take some punishment and you don't want to be risking your expensive mixer or stereo amp by accidentally running voltages into it when testing the output of a bent machine.
Glue - Useful for all kinds of things. Superglue is useful but it can react strangely with some plastics and may not be very strong in certain situations. We'd also recommend getting hold of a decent two part epoxy resin glue.
Trimmer Pots - Also known as preset pots, these are small potentiometers that are usually only adjustable using a small jewelers screwdriver. They are useful for adjusting the maximum or minimum value of a larger panel pot, or if you don't have a fixed resistor of quite the right value. Values of 10k, 47K, !00K and 470K are probably the most useful. There are dozens of different types but THESE or THESE are fine.
Tools - Hacksaws, drills, pliers, wire cutters, tweezers, socket sets and files come in very handy. Whatever you think you need, you will need more. The NIBBLER is an incredibly useful tool for cutting holes in front panels
Oscilloscope - This is only for the hardcore bender (theres a phrase you don't hear everyday) If you don't know how they work you probably don't actually need one!

HKS Builds EVO X Time Attack Development Car: the CZ200S
If you are under the age of 30 you probably remember the all carbon-fiber EVO VIII that was modified by Japanese tuner HKS.
It's been a while since that car (the CT230R) claimed the Tsukuba Circuit record with a lap time of 53.589-seconds, but HKS is getting back into the game with a new EVO X, that will also serve as a development mule for the company's line of EVO X performance products.
Called the CZ200S, this modified EVO X posted a time of 59.495 during initial testing, using Advan Neova AD08 tires, wrapped over some Advan 18×10-inch wheels.
The car also features a completely rebuilt engine with HKS forged pistons and new con rods, as well as HKS V Cam Pro cams. The turbocharger has been upgraded with an HKS prototype GT3240 kit, as well as new intercooler piping an 1,00 cc injectors. Intake and exhaust duties are handled by a Hipermax III Sport exhaust and upgraded cat, as well as an KHS air intake system. Finally, some ECU tuning results in 567hp.
Expect to see many of these prototype products come to market soon.
Official release after the jump:
HKS Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Time Attack Project
After establishing countless track records with the HKS CT230R Circuit Time Attack Evo, HKS is proud to announce its successor; The HKS Lancer Evolution X, CZ200S.
The CZ200S will be the basis in which HKS will develop its complete parts line-up for the Lancer Evolution X. Much like the development of products available for the previous generations of the Lancer Evolutions, the CZ200S utilizes currently available off-the-shelf and prototype HKS products. HKS prides itself in its engineering, motorsports development and manufacturing quality assuring customers that the same products that HKS sets records with are the same off-the-shelf products that a customer can expect from HKS.
Working in conjunction with the Yokohama Tire Company, HKS plans on lap times under 1 minute at the famed Tsukuba Circuit. During initial testing of the new Advan Neova AD08 radial tires, the CZ200S posted a best lap time of 59.495 seconds at Tsukuba Circuit.

This is a fairly simple recipe but it sure turns out awesome. I love the taste and you can't beat the convenience, especially since I'm someone who needs it ready to go when I am running out the door in the morning. Highly recommended!
a keeper delish
I have to say I enjoyed this and felt it very filling for a slender piece. The next time I make it I will add mushrooms too. Very easy to make too.
Taste was ok but I really didn't like the texture.

It has to go far (10km) with one battery life!
i was wondering where i can find some materials and especially what kind. And i'm also not that good of a programmar.
I hope you can help me!
My suggestion is to start
My suggestion is to start by, what I call "the physicals"
- What is the physicals of the load ? weight, size
- What type of terrain it is ? grass, road, dirt, rocks, up or down, distance
- What environmental it is ? potential obstacles, night, day, sunny, rainy ...
- What features I can use ? Autonomous, remote control, wireless or not, recording (date or video/audio) the progression
After that, you can thinking about "the mechanics" related with each physicals, in example :
My terrain is in forrest, the ground is leafs and wet dirt, the potemtials obstacles are dead branch and trees, grass, ...
My traction system can be tracks because is more stable on harsh terrain, less surface pressure on wet ground and can climp or bend some small obstacles, ...
Then you can "engeeniring"
What energy I will use for dynamic ? electrical, thermal, hydraulical, ...
where stock the energy ?
my energy choose my engine
my engine choose my energy stock size

Sorry to editorialize and criticize your teachers here, but looking at your assignment, I'm struck by the fact that maybe engineering classes have become parodies of themselves. Your task is to create a complex electromechanical device that does a very simple job which could most easily and probably effectively be achieved by tieing a small wagon to your waist via a string. It may teach the skills of electronics, mechatronics and programming if successful, but I don't think it teaches a good basis for the foundations of engineering: those being necessity, simplicity and immediacy (not to mention that good engineering usually gives rise to elegance-this kind of teaches the opposite of that.) By analogy, it would be a little like designing a heat gun that attached to your belt via a robotic arm and sensed when various portions of your head fell below a certain temperature then aimed the output of the heat gun at the cold spots during cold weather-when you could just put on a hat.
Its not as bad as Tic Tac
Its not as bad as Tic Tac Toe robot !!!
Point taken, but at the same time, games are an important cultural and economic inevitablitly. It might just be simpler and quicker to play naughts and crosses with your little brother than to build a robot to do it, but I do see a difference between a project which aims to engineer a solution to a simple task that another human would do and a project that seeks to undersimplify a readily extant tool (toy!) Also, OddBot's challenge is nearly half about the aritstry that goes into the creation/appearance/effectiveness of the project. The follow-me-trolley almost by fiat (10Km?) will exclude any aesthetic sensibility.
Do you want help in English
Do you want help in English or in French ?
Sure, you are in Belgium, your school project involve Beer, LOL

Every Sunday I have the privilege of sitting with a most amazing group. It began many years ago when First Presbyterian Church of Tunica was looking for a place to worship. If you've ever been part of a congregation in formation you know that's not an easy task. Very seldom is a building available that's suitable, and other churches have their own services at the time you want to meet.

Fox legal keep harassing us. Telling us we can claim money for injury after the accident we had. Keep telling them we weren't injured but they won't leave us alone. Call mobile the 2 seconds later call our house phone. Right nightmare.
Same as other reports. It's 11:30am and I've received 15 calls from various ambulance chasers.
Actually I think this has to do with the water testing kits that Home Depot has for free by the door. You can send in a water sample from your home and they report back to you; doesn't mean they won't try and sell you something afterwards though.

Uavp Fpv
I've been looking forward to trying FPV flight with a UAVP (quadrocopter), and finally got the change to try it. For both flights today, I did the takeoff and landing by looking below the goggles (head tilted way back) at the UAVP directly. Once about 5 ft up, I looked back at the video and flew that way until I was ready to land, or until I was hopelessly lost. The FPV2 video is the first flight today. As you can see, the effect of the fisheye lens is pretty significant, but still the best for what I'm trying to do. For this flight, I had the compass hold turned off, by accident really. Everything was going pretty well, pointing into about a 8 mph wind, until I got the brilliant idea to try to yaw around a bit. It didn't take long before I couldn't tell which direction I was pointing, and started to look for the UAVP under the goggles. MAN, was it a distant speck!!! The next moments were spent looking at video, then directly, all while turning to try to figure out which way it was pointing. During this time, I was just drifting downwind farther, and farther, with no hope of recovery. At the very end of the video you see what looks like it's diving to a fatal crash, but at the last minute, I just let go of everything and goosed the throttle. Much to it's credit, the UAVP used the extra power to level and pull out just a couple feet from the ground. You can just see that it's still alive when the video ends. Best I can figure, the DVR automatically shuts off if the video drops out too much. http://www.radrotary.com/FPV2_raw.wmv After the video ends, things didn't get much better. The UAVP was level, and flying fine, but it was so far away that I just couldn't determine the orientation by looking at it. Looking at the video didn't help either, because it was low, and over scrub weeds which all looks the same. Finally, I just lowered the throttle and let it come down before it got too far out of range. It looked like it hit pretty hard, and not level. Amazingly, when I got to it, I couldn't immediately see any damage. It was sitting upright, on it's narrow camera base, almost as if it had made a perfect landing. If it weren't for the battery laying on the ground (still plugged in), I could have throttled it up and flown it away. Of course two of the arms were bent, one pretty badly. I brought props with me, but no arms, so I didn't have any choice but to fly it with the bent arms, and it didn't make any difference. Flight number two (FPV3 video) was made with the compass hold turned on. This worked out MUCH better, and the entire flight you see is made without looking at the UAVP, except for takeoff and landing. In part of the video, I let it drift behind me, and you see me and the van in the picture. I'm facing North, the same direction the UAVP is. It's very odd hearing it get closer to you from behind, and not being able to trust your ability to judge distance. The video is actually pretty boring, but in this case, boring is good. http://www.radrotary.com/FPV3_raw.wmv More testing to come, but I do think this is doable.

My usual TX40 camera 2.96mm lens (90° diagonal), and it was the first time I tried the Oracle with it too.
No post-processing, edited with Premiere and rendered at 1Mbps WMV. If you watch the original file you'll see that in the first part the image is pretty good except for being after sunset, cam a bit out of focus and a bit where it was "faded" (RX battery empty, Oracle had already been beeping for 10 minutes, the last landing I had lines on all the bright zones ). For the day part the cam went a bit loose and gave some vibration, but the 3rd part is pretty correct. It actually seemed better to me when editing the video than when I was flying, I guess that's me being a bit too picky as usual |
Dec 31, 2007, 04:36 AM | |
Yeah indeed, just checked the original recording and the GPS module did go wild about altitude once or twice, the rest being OK. Hadn't even noticed before
That's something we have to live with, altitude is far less precise than position, and depends on the position of the satellites. It's good when you have a few overhead, but when most of them have low elevation altitude precision decreases (while it logically increases the horizontal position's one). |

GPS vertical accuracy has been found, at least in one test, to be better or equal to aircraft baro systems.
http://tinyurl.com/ypg3sk My own experience with sailplane recorder logs show a +4% variation between the two methods. The top trace is GPS. http://tinyurl.com/2h9umd This doesn't address the bigger question of GPS accuracy and my equipment may be the cause differance. |

Here's a much better attempt from today. I used the "wide" lens, rather than the "super wide", and used the van as a reference. This was all goggles from takeoff to landing, no peeking at all

Nice job! Have you tried using your FX07 with video out? That gives superb 16X9 format results and you can put a small servo on the zoom too. Is that a special antenna set up in front of you to your left? What kind of video glasses were you using? You also have a Eagletree Seagull data logger too right? Is there a capability with that to put compass and altitude (for a start) info in the video? Happy New Year! Cheers, Jim Quote:
Jan 01, 2008, 11:34 AM | |||||
The FX07 is my ultimate goal, because it will record the flight on SD card, so I won't have any of the wireless video problems on my recorded video. Unfortunately, there's a bit of a lag on the video out of the FX07, which will make it harder to fly. My hope is to give it a try when/if I ever get comfortable with the current setup. Quote:

I'd like to hear from anyone who shoots or carries a Glock 36.

I'd like to hear from anyone who shoots or carries a Glock 36.
I want to add a .45 to my stable, and have started to give the 36 some thought, so help me out with some information.
"It's a big gun when I carry it, it is also a big gun when I take it out Clint Smith
I too would like to hear more from people that have shot/carry the 36. I am thinking about it for a BUG carried in an ankle holster. If anyone has a similar setup I would like to hear what you think and what type of ankle holster that you use.
I know an ex-agent that carries in the similar format and he swears by Glock and .45, but I would like to hear more.
I own and carry a G36 at times. It's a very carryable .45 acp, but in my opinion, it is too large for ankle carry. It's so close in size to the G19/23 that you can use some holsters for all three.
It's similar in recoil and accuracy to my G23, although +p ammo can be a handful.
You will probably hear about some problems with the G36 [especially over on glock talk] but mine has been very reliable. I recommend the G36 if you are looking for a compact .45 acp.
The Glock 36 is the Glock that the Glock lovers love to hate.
It's the Glock with the pox.
I have one and mine has been flawless in it's function.
I really like it - it's accurate - it's small - and it goes bang every time.
It's a real nice tight carry package with a big hole in the end.
I've had zero problems with mine.
I've got a LaserMax installed in mine and the red dot is dead on.
I also have a G-36 that I carry, and I like it very much in spite of a few bumps in the road along the way. I've had it for 3+ years and have had some failures to feed - which were found to be faulty mags, and a few failures to eject - which were my fault due to shooting some low power target rounds I reloaded. the recoil spring requires something pretty close to a factory round's energy to function properly.
Like most autos, my 36 has its likes and dislikes when it comes to projectiles, so be prepared to experiment a little if you get one. It will shoot most types of hollowpoints for SD, although I did have a couple failures to feed with Federal's 230gr Hydrashocks. Most everything else has been OK except target semi-wadcutters. For target work use some type of RN. I usually carry 200gr SD loads.
Shooting the 36 I think is fun. It's pretty accurate for a SD gun and to me, the recoil is manageable. Shooting 100-150 rounds is not uncomfortable at all. The +P rounds are sportier, but still manageable. For SD I carry the std. power loads, easier to keep on target due to the muzzle flip.
Re-acquiring the target during rapid fire is slower than with a heavier, full size 45, but that just takes some getting used to, especially shooting one-handed. If you have large hands, you actually grip the gun with the two middle fingers.
I carry my 36 mostly IWB in a Caldwell Gunleather 'Missouri Slick' holster. Yeah, the name got me! Very comfy and accessible. I'll try to post a couple pic's tomorrow. Out of all the Glocks I think the36 is one of the thinnest, I know it's slightly thinner than the 26, the baby Glock. This thin profile is why I like it so much, AND it is a 45.
The only thing I'd change about it would be to possibly design a new model with a slightly longer grip to better fit my hand and hold a couple more rounds, single stack of course- thin. BTW, be careful of adding +1 and +2 grip ext.'s - Quite a few folks have had feeding probs. with them.
Go on and get a 36, I think it's a good weapon. Easy to shoot. easy to maintain.
Hope this helps,
Nice complete, honest, write up on your 36 - very helpful.

I had a Glock 36 that I finally sold to purchase a S&W Revolver.
The reason I sold it was, while a great concept gun, I couldn't get it to function reliably. I have a Kahr P45 on layaway. We will see if it's the cat's meow.
If I was going to carry in an Ankle Holster I would look at an Airweight Revolver. I carry my 442 in an Ankle Holster. If you absolutely must carry an autoloader I would wait and get a PM45 from Kahr later this year. The Glock is too big and heavy to be packing on the ankle in my opinion unless you are 7' tall and weigh 300 pounds.
The Glock 36 is a great CCW in an IWB Holster, the Kahr P45 should be as well. I just couldn't get my Glock 36 to be reliable and that's rule #1 for me. It has to be reliable. With all the crud that gets on a gun carried on the ankle I prefer a Revolver for that mode of carry.
Good luck and happy carrying.
I have a Glock 36 that's been very reliable. Initially, I thought it wasn't as I was having some failure to feeds, but discovered it was some bad ammo that my Dept. was using (We've since dumped it).
I don't ankle carry it & don't know anyone who does, but I do know a couple guys that have ankle carried the G-30. It's the same length, but heavier & thicker. Niether guy is very big, both are less than 6' tall & probably 200 or less. They didn't seem to have a problem.
Personally, I've ankle carried a J-frame & G-26 without any problems. I preferred the J-frame though, because of its' lighter weight.
Until I bought my Taurus MilPro PT145, the G-36 was the most accurate gun I had. It's now tied as the most accurate handgun that I own.
Good luck.

I posed the same inquiry over at Glock Talk and have some responses there, including pictures.
Hmmm! I'm surprised there weren't more naysayers on glocktalk. Usually Joes uncles-nephews-cousins-brother had one that was a POS, so I will never get one.
Even though I have a Kahr TP45, I am still considering a model 36.

[QUOTE=jbailey;336967]I carry my 36 mostly IWB in a Caldwell Gunleather 'Missouri Slick' holster./QUOTE]
Here is a pic. of the 36 in the 'MO. Slick' along with its partners: a mag pouch also from Caldwell, a Ross covered slide (Very comfortable but not as concealable as the 'Slick') and a Fobus (great holster for the price - good for range and open carry, but is a little low and protrudes a bit much for concealed carry for me). The 'MO Slick' fits me best worn about 3:30 or 4:00 or a little farther. It rides high, in the hollow just below my rib cage and is comfortable during all normal activities, even sitting and driving, although you have to bend forward to draw when in the driver's seat. The way the holster is made, the belt tension pulls the butt of the gun close in to your body. I can wear as little as a loose fitting t-shirt and the gun dissappears. BTW, the holster has a sweat guard that extends upward behind the slide (important during our hot summers).
One thing that always has bothered me about any holster is bending over to pick up something, like an item on the bottom shelf in the supermarket, and the gun sticks out behind very visibly. To combat this, I have found that wearing the holster a little farther behind the point of the hip puts the grip in more of a parallel orientation with your back, and I get much less of a bulge when bending. this method gives me a good compromise between concealability and ease of presentation, which I hope is always in peace.
Shannon Caldwell made the holster and mag pouch for me. He has an ebay store at: http://www.ebay.com/caldwell-gunleather
his email add is: firstname.lastname@example.com
A very accomodating and helpful fellow, also a LEO with lots of day to day holster wearing experience. the holster he made for me is not fancy in any way, but it is excellent in form and function.
I'm sure many others could provide top quality workmanshhip and service too, I just thought I'd try a Caldwell as he wasn't booked quite as far into the future as most other makers. In my estimation, you can add him to the list of fine leather craftsmen.
I just couldn't trust it with all the bad publicity. Steve48
I could be wrong, but I think some of the problems with the 36 is because the slide's lighter (It's definitely thinner), than the other .45's. when I 1st shot it, it was less forgiving of "limp wristing" than my other Glocks (21 & 26). I've shot a "ton" of Glocks (To test for our Dept.), & while they're all more prone to limp wristing, the 36 was by far the worse.
I certainly would trust my life with mine, but I just don't seem to carry it much.

I too like carrying and shooting a .45. I have a G21 that I really like. I had a G36 for a couple of years. Great little pistol, fairly accurate, had no problems with it. Only thing is, my hands are fairly large, and because of the grip length it was always biting my pinkie finger where the magazine and the butt came together. I did not try a Pierce extension on it.
I have traded the 36 for a 9mm that my wife shoots now. Guess my next one will be a G30.

Quite so. I'm groupie to them both.
Wow, Tinsldr2, you really have a bee up your nose in your desperation to convince us all how "phony" this issue is.
What about November's check? Isn't that the one they're talking about? And if they have families, this could be horrible for them.
I've heard much worse come out of her mouth, so I just have to conclude that this wasn't a very revealing collection.
Sorry folks but calling for a cold shoulder or turning the channel--or an appeal to people who already don't contribute to PBS not to contribute some more--all these passive methods aren't going to faze them one bit. It will take a massive letter-writing campaign, plus a massive "Down with PBS" word-of-mouth campaign, plus an attitude changing campaign, before PBS will feel ANY effects at all. PBS is the sacred cow of public funding, and the powers that be of BOTH parties will never ever try to reduce the money the corporation gets, until more than half the letters these leaders get come from an enraged public. After all, any member of Congress who votes to reduce funding will be slandered and smeared as an anti-cultural troglodyte. The only cure will be to turn public opinion, similar to the way people's feelings about smoking were turned.

You must be pretty young if your memory only goes back as far as Rush Limbaugh. How about William F. Buckley in the Sixties? Will Rogers had a few things to say in his many, many books. Earlier than that, I don't know, but I seem to remember that Plato wrote on politics, as did a few of his contemporaries.

Excellent point, oldtexgal. I'm boycotting Mexico starting immediately.
This is utterly appalling, and if it doesn't make you loathe Obama all the more, then you are deficient.

Normal yeast flora of the upper digestive tract of some wild columbids
Journal of Wildlife Diseases
- By:
- R.M. Kocan, H.F. Hasenclever
- Document: Document (html)
Seven species of pigeons and doves were cultured for yeasts in the upper digestive tract. The following list gives the isolation rate for each columbid species and the yeasts cultured from them: feral pigeon Columba Livia (Gmelin) 95% -Candida albicans (Robin) Berkhout, C. tropicalis (Castellani) Berkhout, C. krusei (Cast.) Berkhout, C. guilliermondii (Cast.) Langeron et Guerra, Torulopsis glabrata (Anderson) Lodder et De Vries, Saccharomyces telluris Van der Walt, and Geotrichum sp.; white-crowned pigeon (C. leucocephala Linnaeus) 56% -- S. telluris; mourning dove (Zenaidura rnacroura Linnaeus) 24% -- C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. guilliermondii, and Geotrichurn sp.; passerine ground dove (Collumbigallina passerina Linnaeus) 20% -- C. parapsilosis (Ashford) Langeron et Talice, Kloeckera apiculata (Reess Emend. Klocker) Janke; zenaida dove (Zenaida aurita Temminck) 16% -- C. albicans, C. guilliermondii, and T. glabrata; one moustasche dove (Geotrygon mystacea Gosse) -- C. guillierrnondii; ringed turtle dove (Streptopelia rizoria Linnaeus) 14% -- C. albicans and Geotrichurn sp. No signs of disease could be seen in the 139 birds that were examined, and it was concluded that these yeasts comprise a part of the columbid's normal microbial flora.Additional Publication Details

We actually live in Murray, KY, but I am open to finding doctors in Nashville or Clarksville or anywhere close that are good naturally minded doctors. Specifically my 2 year old DD has eczema and I want to find someone who is focused on treating the cause and not the symptom.
Any good recommendations? I would greatly appreciate it! I feel helpless!
Thank you much!

What I Learned at SRU -107-What I Learned at SRUChapter 107 - While We Can Meet- Thursday, May 26th, 2011 -Korra lazily plunked the gallon of milk into the door shelf of the fridge, then breathed out a sigh of relief, closing the refrigerator shut. She bunched up the bundle of plastic grocery bags she'd just unloaded and stuffed them into the small recycling bin in the corner of the cramped kitchen. Korra cracked open the top of a cardboard carton, then poured herself a glass of orange juice, fresh from the store.-Clack-clack-clack-clack!-The sound of Naga's still untrimmed nails tapped against the kitchen's floor tiles as the pup meandered in. Korra turned around, glass of juice in hand, to see the dog looking up to her, panting with an open mouth. At least Naga had calmed down a bit since Korra's entry into the house. She'd been gone for roughly an hour, but one would've thought it had been the whole day with how the dog was acting. Naga whimpered at Korra."What is it?

- You need dedicated track for 100+mph operation. And to maintain the
kind of service that was normal in the old days--"You can set your
watch by the express"--you need separate tracks for passenger and
freight service, except for some local passenger service possibly.
With the slower speed of freight service these days (in the days of
steam there were a couple of 100mph passenger expresses) the
railroad cos. can allow trackage to deteriorate somewhat without
commercial penalty.If a container shows up a few hours late it's not
a big deal. If 800 passengers show up a few hours late you have 800
complaints. (The Coast Starlight is routinely two hours late into
LA. In fact, Gina and I were so shocked that we arrived in San Jose
on time that we broke out in hysterical laughter.)
Passenger routes should be double tracked whenever possible, and
freight should run on separate tracks. A freight train can pull onto
a siding and wait for another freight to pass. A box of dog food
headed to a warehouse doesn't have the same temporal necessity as,
say, the bride's parents en route to the wedding.

I can confirm that Amtrak operates 100+ speed trains on the same tracks as freight and yes, the freights do beat up the tracks. The US is the only country with high speed (100+ mph) that does this. An antidote: An Amtrak engineer got into a disagreement at an international conference with a French engineer who insisted that the Amtrak engineer was lying about this because "it was impossible to run freight on the same tracks as passenger rail."
> Can someone confirm whether that is in fact the case in Europe and Japan? I had previously heard that passenger and freight traffic share at least some of those tracks.
With the stimulus money, there are plans, works to begin soon to create/improve freight ROW to move some of this traffic off Amtrak ROW in the Northeast Corridor(NEC). There are also a number of improvements to eliminate sharp curves and add tracks on the NEC being funded with stimulus money. With NJ transit, Metro North and the Long Island RR all sharing New York Penn station with Amtrak and all experiancing increased ridership and adding more service, there are traffic jams getting into and out of NY. There are plans to add track and improve signaling and control to improve this.
Long distance on-time performance has been improving the last couple of years, because increased gas prices have helped freight profitability. Therefore, the freights have been putting money into long differed improvement in track and signaling.

Staples 4Q Profit Drops On Charges, But Sales Rise
By ASHLEY M. HEHER
CHICAGO (AP) ¿ Staples Inc. said Wednesday that its fourth-quarter profit dropped 14 percent as a series of charges related to last summer's acquisition of a Dutch rival dragged down results.
The world's largest office products retailer reported sales and adjusted earnings below Wall Street expectations, sending its shares down in pre-market trading.
The Framingham, Massachusetts-based retailer said it earned $286 million, or 40 cents per share, during the three months ended Jan. 31. That's down from $333.2 million, or 47 cents per share, during the same period a year before.
Besides charges linked to July's acquisition of Corporate Express NV, Staples reversed a $57 million non-cash charge recorded in the third quarter. Excluding those items, the company's adjusted profit was $256 million, or 36 cents per share. Sales climbed 16 percent to $6.17 billion from $5.32 billion, helped by the addition of Corporate Express. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters predicted earnings of 42 cents per share on revenue of $6.82 billion. Analyst estimates typically exclude one-time items.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The tyranny of the timesheet
24 February 2015 4 Comments
This post was inspired by the National Tertiary Education Union 2014 conference on Insecure Work. Thanks to the National Tertiary Education Union for inviting the Research Whisperer to be part of the conference, and for paying for my airfare and accommodation. I learned many things, and this post covers some of them.
It has been a while since I needed to fill out a timesheet, but my visceral distaste for the timesheet ritual remains very strong.
It wasn't just that they were fiddly and annoying and stupid (although they were). I hated what they represented – they made me feel unvalued, disempowered, and disposable.
At the back of my mind was the lurking knowledge that I could be dismissed with an hour's notice, that I was a 'resource', that I was temporary.
It didn't matter that my boss valued my work, and I had excellent relationships with them, or that we had a long history of working together.
When you work at a university, you learn that there are two different drivers for all activity: personal ethics and institutional imperative.
When the institutional imperative calls for a review or a restructure or any other activity that requires shedding jobs or saving money, the nicest people can end up doing truly horrible things, no matter what their personal ethics call for. If the rules say you get sacked without notice, you get sacked without notice.
Timesheets, at their heart, represent hourly paid work. This work gets called different things in different places – sessional, casual, adjunct, whatever. Names have power, though, so I think that we should call it what it is – hourly paid work (except on your CV, when you want it to sound as shiny as possible). By doing this, we take away the mystique, the special language, of the academy. By calling it hourly paid work, we bring it into the same world as stacking supermarket shelves and flipping burgers. We bring it into the marketplace.
It is important that we do that, because one in two jobs at Australian universities are now casual or contract. [1]

SCOTUS on Prop 8 and DOMA: The Financial Implications
By Eric Reed
NEW YORK ( MainStreet)--This week the Supreme Court will take up one of its most controversial issues since the Affordable Care Act: gay marriage. Tuesday and Wednesday the Court will hear arguments in United States v. Windsor and Hollingsworth v. Perry cases which challenge the government's right to restrict marriage to straight people alone. And there are significant financial implications at stake--highlighted all the more at tax season.
Windsor addresses the Defense of Marriage Act, or "DOMA," an act of Congress which defines the institution as between a man and a woman for all purposes of federal law. It means, in essence, that regardless of a gay couple's status under state law, the couple can never be married in the eyes of the U.S. government.
Hollingsworth challenges Proposition 8, a 2008 referendum which amended the state constitution of California to ban gay marriage, which had recently been made legal statewide. Both cases have been victories for gay marriage proponents so far, with district and appellate courts overturning DOMA and Proposition 8 respectively.
If the Supreme Court upholds either or both of those rulings it would have a large impact on the American landscape. Upholding Windsor would mean that the federal government could no longer restrict its definition of marriage to heterosexuals, forcing it to recognize gay unions where legal. A decision to uphold Hollingsworth could strike even more broadly, as the lower courts in that case have ruled that the government has no legitimate basis for drawing a line between homosexual and heterosexual couples at all. If the Supreme Court affirms this reasoning it will have effectively outlawed outlawing gay marriage the same way that it did interracial marriage in Loving v. Virginia. Considering that only nine states currently allow gay marriage, and 29 have amended their constitutions specifically to ban it, this would be a massive upheaval.For gay couples everywhere, these cases will likely have a major impact on their wallets. Both federal and state governments award significant financial incentives to married couples, allowing them access to each other's resources, shared government benefits and often considerable tax breaks. Currently that entire system is largely reserved for heterosexuals; however, Windsor and Hollingsworth have the potential to change all that.

United Club in Austin, photo thanks to Kevin
I have never directly paid for a United Club membership. For the last 2 years, I had access thanks to my United ...
20 Comments
Sure... males have been known to miss the urinal from time to time. We're all guilty of that one. How does such a problem get solved? Someone comes in and mops the bathroom. At the JFK Red Carpet Club, they have a different solution. There is a cylindrical padding that is pushed against the wall, designed to absorb urine. If this is not the intent of padding, then it is surely what actually happens. This padding often has stains on it, and it grosses me out to think that someone is supposed to theoretically swap this out for a new one regularly. I have always found one of the perks of a lounge to be nicer bathrooms, but the JFK RCC pee pad really detracts from the niceness of that one. United, can we please get rid of that thing?
