Dodrio is an excellent Pokemon when it comes to physical sweeping, whether it's using a Choice Band or a Flail set. Thanks to its awesome STAB Drill Peck, Dodrio can be a true monster if its teammates can take out physical walls that stop it short. However, it's really fragile and won't be switching in on much.
Dodrio has excellent Speed and Attack, which makes it an ideal Choice Band user. However, as it is fairly fragile, it will have difficulty switching in. It is a fairly good lead, but is at its best late-game, when it can quickly fire off powerful attacks. Dodrio is a pretty mean physical sweeper, as it gets STAB on three of its attacks. Hidden Power Ground hurts Magneton, Jirachi, and Metagross on the switch-in, but Dodrio should not stay in unless it will surely OHKO the foe. Hidden Power Fighting is stronger against Tyranitar, but is inferior as Hidden Power Ground will do just fine while maintaining a perfect Speed IV.
Maximize Attack and Speed because Dodrio will not stay in for long anyway. A Jolly nature is useful to surprise opponents expecting to outrun Adamant variants, and the Choice Band somewhat makes up for the drop in power.
As it gets STAB on Flail, Dodrio can easily sweep a team if used correctly. This variant of Dodrio is powerful, but is a bit harder to use than the standard Choice Band set. Liechi Berry boosts Dodrio's attack power, but Agility is a must in order to ensure a sweep. Alternately, Dodrio could use a Salac Berry, run at least 112 EVs, and drop Agility for another move. Quick Attack is its best choice to help against enemy Flail users.
Similarly, use maximum Attack, and dump the rest of the EVs in HP for greater overall bulk. If using Agility, run minimum Speed, but more Speed is a possibility. Salac Berry variants should aim to hit a Speed stat of 264 after a boost; this requires 16 EVs if using a Jolly nature, and 112 with an Adamant one.
Other Options
Baton Pass is a great option as Dodrio can pass along a Substitute or some Speed to really help a teammate set up. It can also use Baton Pass on the first turn to scout out your opponent's Dodrio counter; if it is Skarmory, bring in Magneton for an instant KO. Similarly, passing to Dugtrio can end a weakened Tyranitar or Metagross switch-in. Endeavor can be used in conjunction with Quick Attack to make short work of opposing Pokemon, but Tyranitar's Sand Stream can prove troublesome. Haze can remove an opponent's boosts, but it is fairly useless overall because Dodrio is fragile. In general, Dodrio's base 110 Attack and base 100 Speed stats mean it's best off with an offensive moveset.
Checks and Counters
Skarmory and Forretress, two of the most common physical walls, can handle Dodrio with relative ease—watch out for Magneton, however. Tyranitar's Sand Stream wears down Dodrio, and Tyranitar himself resists both Dodrio's STAB moves. However, Choice Band Hidden Power Ground can 2HKO it, and Hidden Power Fighting will OHKO. Metagross can shrug off nearly everything Dodrio throws at it; even Choice Band Hidden Power Ground might not 2HKO him. Regirock is one of the best counters as well, because neither Hidden Power will do much damage. The latter three can easily OHKO Dodrio with their STAB moves.
Gengar can come in on Normal attacks and either Thunderbolt Dodrio into oblivion or cripple it with Will-O-Wisp. Choice Band Drill Peck will OHKO him more often than not, though, and Flail sets usually pack Hidden Power Ghost. Dusclops is slower but more defensive, and has the same immunity to Normal attacks; he can burn Dodrio and heal off damage with Pain Split or Rest. Just about any hit, especially STAB or super effective ones, will cripple—if not KO—Dodrio, as its defenses are abysmal at best.

Diana Christensen, the fictional head of programming for the also fictional Union Broadcasting System (UBS) in Network is one of the strongest lead female characters in 1970s cinema. As the neurotic, power-hungry Christensen, Faye Dunaway won an Academy Award for best actress in a leading role.
In retrospect, Christensen's satirical obsession with ratings, reality TV, and angry shows was prophetic. The first show we see her sell is based on a lefty revolutionary group. Her argument? People are angry, and we need to mirror their anger on TV: "I want counterculture, I want anti-establishment."

Use Wireshark And DD-WRT Router Firmware To Imitate Port Monitoring On A Router Switch PortPosted by alex in Insights
Earlier today I needed to find the quickest and easiest way to monitor all traffic to and from a specific device on my network. The goal was to see how much bandwidth based on a specific amount of time that the device was using. My initial hope was that I could configure port monitoring on my WRT54G running DD-WRT firmware however I quickly found out this is not an option. I eventually settled on adding a couple iptables commands that would send all traffic destined for or sourced from a specific IP address to another IP address. Follow the directions below to add the iptables commands to a router running DD-WRT firmware and then to capture the traffic on a computer running Wireshark.bandwidth, capture, dd-wrt, filter, ip address, iptables, mangle, port monitoring, postrouting, prerouting, route, traffic, wireshark, wrt54g

Heavy, wet snow will move in Saturday afternoon and accumulate more than six inches, the National Weather Service said as it issued a winter storm watch.
The winter storm watch runs from Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon and means the potential of accumulating snow of six or more inches in a 12 hour period or eight or more Inches in a 24 hour period.
The heaviest snow in Danvers will be on Saturday night into Sunday morning when 1 to 2 inches of snow could fall per hour.
"The biggest concern is that this will be a heavy wet snow," the weather service said as it issued the winter storm watch. "This will bring the potential for downed tree limbs and scattered power outages."
The wind will blow from the northeast at 5-10 miles per hour through the storm with gusts to 20 mph with temperatures in the low 30s.

Mohney, founder of Déjà Vu and Little Darlings strip clubs and adult bookstores, accuses Laura Henkel of malpractice, breach of contract, fraud and misrepresentation, and seeks unspecified damages.
The complaint, filed in Clark County District Court this week, claims Henkel grossly overvalued some of the items he donated to the Exodus Trust, which opened the Erotic Heritage Museum in 2008, the Las Vegas Sun reported.
The appraisals included false information that Mohney owned copyrights and distribution rights to some films, the suit adds.
After Mohney claimed charitable deductions on his income tax forms based on the appraisals, the IRA disallowed most of the deductions, the suit says.
In 2005, "mint condition" 16 mm films and loops, fliers and press kits were appraised at $5.9 million, while short and feature films, loops and trailers were appraised at $5.8 million, according to the complaint. Additional appraisals were conducted in 2006 for undisclosed amounts.
Henkel denied the allegations, saying the suit is related to a dispute with Mohney over her termination last year as assistant curator of the Las Vegas museum.
"The allegations made by Mr. Mohney are completely false, and were made in retribution for my pending lawsuit against him for his previous defamatory comments," said Henkel, who now runs Sin City Gallery in Las Vegas.
"This just continues the pattern of behavior by Mr. Mohney to attempt to smear my good name, and I look forward to complete vindication in the courts," she added.
The Exodus Trust owns the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco.

Strengths: Knucklebox susp. is a great design, great climber w/ no bob, VERY plush on the descents.
Weaknesses: The weight- knucklebox susp. is a heavier design than others, many stock parts are heavy including crank, wheelset, and tires.
Bottom Line:
All in all it is a great value for the money and I would highly recommend getting one. After a few minor upgrades to the rotational weight, this bike is a great all arounder.

Date Reviewed: May 7, 2012
Strengths: 2012 model front and rear suspension is air pressure sprung with adjustable hydraulic damping, easy for biker to tune to the trail. Also the propedal function on the rear has three settings for a firmer or softer ride depending on the trail. Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear grab great with a one finger pull. The knuckle box suspension setup is nice and provides little to no bob on the trails. The weight is also much little than I expected, and makes hill climbing smooth combined with the low gearing. Bike also came with a pump for the shock, sag gauge and torx wrenches.
Weaknesses: I have found none to date.

Strengths: Good bang for your buck if you want a good 4" air sprung xc rig and don't have tons of money in your bank account. Knuckle box design is very good design, active travel with little pedal feed back, but climbs amazingly well. The knuckle box keeps center of gravity low, which in turns give you lighting fast responsive handle in technical switchbacks. Frame is very durable and bearings are all sealed. Hayes stroker disc brakes work well to keep you in control. Lx/Deore drivetrain work pretty darn well.
Weaknesses: None really, if you don't like kenda small block 8 tires put something else on it. And comes with plastic platform pedals, I would change them right out.

From the moment I pulled up to the Hard Rock Hotel Universal Orlando, I knew I was in for an experience. The doorman poked fun at my shirt, which happened to have another hotel's logo on it, and we had a good laugh. What a terrific first encounter with a staffer at the Loews Hotels-managed Hard Rock, one of a trio of themed meeting properties at Universal Orlando Resort. My delight continued as the chipper front desk clerk filled me in on what to expect: music throughout the hotel and resort complex all the time.
My natural high continued as I entered my room, decorated with early Beatles and Hendrix photographs, and saw the recycling bags. Earlier that week, on Earth Day, all three Loews hotels — the 650-room Hard Rock, the 1,000-room Royal Pacific Resort, and the 750-room Portofino Bay Hotel — became certified members of the Florida Green Lodging program. The voluntary program encourages guests and staff to be more environmentally responsible, and the Loews hotels allow guests to recycle plastic bottles, newspapers, aluminum cans, and office paper in their rooms. An energy-management program ensures programmable thermostats and high-efficiency lighting in all 130,000 square feet of meeting space across the three properties.
Loews has trained staffers to anticipate guests' needs. And there are other reasons meeting planners keep bringing meetings back: the walk to Universal Orlando theme parks (Universal Studios and Universal's Islands of Adventure) and to Universal CityWalk, a restaurant, club, and retail complex. Blue Man Group, for example, performs daily. And hotel guests need only their room keys to get to the front of the rides with Express Ride at the theme parks.
For a special VIP event, book your group at the Hard Rock Hotel on the third Thursday of the month. The property transforms its lobby into a concert venue and features name talent for its Velvet Sessions. Nothing like hanging out with rock stars to feel like one.

3.58/5 rDev -5%
look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Poured from a growler filled at Joe Canal's Iselin into my Brooklyn Nonic Pint Glass
Appearance: Pours a golden yellow and is surprisingly clear and filtered. I was expecting a hazier or even cloudy beer considering it is a Wit style. A nice inch high head forms with tight white bubbles that dissipate very quickly. Limited lacing remains behind and the head
Smell: a very pleasant bready smell with a nice citrussy scent and a hint of corriander and potentially some other spicy hints. A very pleasing aroma. Very reminiscent of a good typical wit beer, not overly wheaty and yeasty, just understated and pleasant
Taste: The initial taste is fairly surprising due to the peppery spicing that is front and center. The very balanced nose hides this interesting and delicious surprise.
Mouthfeel: The carbonation is very tight and fairly smooth for a wit beer, but does not leave a yeasty film that is typical of heavy yeasty beers. The mouth is very crisp and biying with a kick at the back of the palette from the above mentioned peppery spicing.
Overall: This was a very nice surprise and is somewhat (in my view) a departure from recent Brooklyn's II have drunk. I enjoy the bold peppering and the crisp finish, and really like the crispness, I was expecting a beer with more subtlety and was pleasantly surprised by the bold spicing. This very drinkable and unlike many wit beers that are better drunk on the deck in the summer, this one lends itself to the cooler months due to the spicing. Well done Brooklyn.

Growler fill from the Green Growler in Croton-on –Hudson, NY
Pours a dull shade of golden, lighter amber, hazed.
Light khaki head that stays a spell, then leaves a loose thicker film, a high collar and nice looking sheets of fine sheeting.
Sniff reveals a muted fruityness, with some wheat malts and resiny hops. Intriguing…
This offering is on the hoppy side of the wit beer world. Hops on the aggressive side. Citric, with lime showing its presence, and following through the finish. Fruity and grainy hops all over this one. Quite dry and enjoyable, nice one Brooklyn….

A-Clear yellow orange, three finger fluffy white head.
S-Wheat, grass, spice, lemon, orange and coriander. Exactly how a witbier should smell.
T-Starts with wheat and lemon. Tad bit of grass. No bitterness. A major step down the smell.
M-Light in body, some carbonation and almost watery.
O-Everything was downhill from the nose. Still a nice beer though. If you have the chance to try it before the kegs are gone, do so.

Served on-tap in a 12-oz. tulip-shaped glass at Barley Vine in Bristol, Conn.
A: Poured a rose-colored amber with a thick, wispy head of off-white foam which left a nice ring of lace on the glass that dragged vinous legs down its walls.
S: Fruity and bracing spicy aroma with plenty of floral esters to go along. The spritzy Belgian yeast makes fine work of the delicate, fruity malts and sugar additives to create a slick, perfume of a beer.
T: Spicy and sweet at first with hints of strawberry, orange peel and rose hips throw in the mix. The spicy, herbal and almost peppermint nature of the yeast springs forward to cut through the musky, fruity concoction. A grassy, assertive hop character cuts the sweetness, leaving the palate dry and semisweet in the finish.
M: Light-medium bodied, sweet and delicate fruitiness add some tart and spicy sensations to the palate, with minimal bitterness left on the tongue.
O: The best example in recent memory of a wine-drinkers witbier, Fiat Lux is an unconventional, fruity Belgian wit that seems more engineered for a cheese pairing or fruity dessert than for general sipping. The 6.1% ABV wit would likely be well-received as an apertif as opposed to a session beer.

Another beauty found at Pies & Pints in Middlebury, CT. This one shows a
pale cloudy yellow beige color with a neat finely packed white head that covers thoroughly
leaving a blanket of lace. The aroma is full of allspice/nutmeg and light banana
almond malt. Wow, very delicate but enticing! The flavor follows nicely with
maple wheat and light banana-bubblegum over cereal grain with a solid kiss of citrus and spruce hops. I love this as a spiced Belgian styled beer. It's not a very typical Witbier from my experience. Light peach, rice, lots of clove and a near minty overtone. It's a banana-bubblegum clove and very sweet light grain bonanza! I really like this. It may not be great to the purists out there but it works for me with a medium light body, tiny but full carbonation. The feel is pretty foamy and luscious. Overall this might be a little sweet for some, but I
was pleased. Good job Brooklyn.

Served on tap in a pint glass
Appearance – Served a very lightly hazed almost straw-yellow colored brew with a decent white head. The head fades over a moderate amount of time to give a nice level of lacing
Smell - The aroma is biggest of a wheaty and lime smell. Mixed with these are aromas of yeast as well as some other lighter citrus aromas.
Taste – Throughout the taste there is a decent wheaty and bready backbone, with which other flavors come and go upon. In the start there is a stronger presence of the wheat then is present later on. A lime citrus flavor quickly comes to the tongue, along with a yeasty flavor shortly following. As the flavor advances further there are the spice notes that were detected in the nose; some pepper. A hay like and grassy flavor come to the tongue at the end with the lime growing even stronger in taste which leave a rather pleasant wheaty, lightly spiced lime flavor on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is on the medium side with a carbonation level that is rather average as well. Both are good for the style and make for a drinkable and refreshing brew.
Overall – It is very drinkable and an interesting twist on a more classic style using lime instead of lemon. Worth a try and an interesting experience. Not one I would go to on occasion, but pretty nice overall.

From 10/06/12 notes.
a - Pours a hazy medium yellow color with one inch of white head and moderate carbonation evident.
s - Smells of coriander, pepper, spices, cloves, and bready malts. Lots of spice and pepper, but pretty nice.
t - Tastes of coriander, spices, cloves, floral hops, bready malts, earthy notes, pepper, hay, and light citrus. A step up from the nose for me; more hops and less pepper.
m - Medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty easy to drink.
o - Overall a very nice witbier. I liked the taste a lot as it was a little less spicy and peppery than the nose, but overall an easy drinking, nice witbier from Brooklyn. Would have it again.

I had this at Ninety Acres in New Jersey. Great restaurant with a very good beer list. I'm glad to see when beer gets the same respect as wine.
They served this in a tulip style glass almost to the rim with absolutely no room for foam.
You get a little belgian sour nose. There isn't much more there. I get a little citrus as well, but that's about it.
The flavor is extremely mild. I continue to get minimal belgian presence.
I would recommend this beer for the summer on a hot day, but it doesn't really work in the fall.

Poured from tap into pint glass at Terrapin in Rhinebeck, NY. Pours a hazy golden orange color with a good deal of head. Spicy wild yeast aromas, but mainly herbal/heather/lavender aroma. Im not usually a fan of this type of aromas, but its not bad in this brew. Taste is very peppery wild yeast, some citrus, and some floral flavors. Its very complex, but one is all I could probably do. Very interesting brew, and well worth a try.

Wow! This is one of my favorite beers of the year. A very big head that sits atop a basically clear golden brew. Some good lacing that coats the glasss lightly and a thin covering remains after a gentle fade. Aroma has a lovely sweetness that is not traditional of the style while giving a good solid wheat core that is. Some bubblegum and maybe a dash of clove. Citrusy notes are bigger than the traditional orange. Lime gives a dryness to the overall character that replaces the general sourness that is common for the style. Yeast and corriander give a zesty spiciness that is reminescent of one of my all time favorites, Cuvee de Cardoz. Taste confirms the break from tradition with a solid wheat malt core and a bright citrusy lime hoppiness. Bubblegum shows up a bit in a honeyed malt that flows throughout. Lovely spice and lime combination flow to a bright citrus finish that is dry and hoppy. Feel is crisp and light with a quenching character that makes it highly drinkable. Carbonation is spot on, actively mlid but effective.Supple as it flows over the tongue, medium light weight. Drinkability is superb and delightlful. This is an excellent summer beer but the hoppy citrusy character makes it a great session ale for anytime of the year. A great take on the usual suspect an I am glad I have more than one growler.

Pours a fairly hazy light golden yellow with a solid one inch whitish head that dissipates slowly, leaving streaky lacing.
Aroma reveals wheat, citrus, and Belgian yeast character, as well as a hint of confectioners sugar and cracker-like malt. There's an overpowering bubblegum/banana thing going on.
Flavor follows suit, with banana and bubblegum at the forefront, while lemon and lime zest notes complement the Belgian esters on a bed of wheat and slightly bready malt. Very refreshing, with a fairly dry, powdery finish.
Body is on the light side of moderate, with fairly high carbonation.
Overall, a well crafted brew, great for a hot summer day. Would drink again, but the bubblegum tones were slightly offputting.

As summer comes to a close, the brewers at Brooklyn are soaking up every warm ray of light with this strongly citrus-focused Belgian-style witbier. In influx of lime zest insures high rate of refreshment to complement the already zesty spices and fruit notes of the base beer underneath.
Like many other Belgian wheat ales, Fiat Lux opens with bright goldenrod colors of yellow and straw. Lightly hazed, the beer glows like a prism as the light penetrates the cloudiness. A firm and airy head tops the beer in a creamy but loosely knit weave. Solid retention gives the eye a lot of confidence going forward.
The word "zesty" comes to mind as the nose reaches the brim of the tulip. Hallmark aromas of soft bready wheat with layers of apple and lemon esters then those of coriander and dried orange peel lay the foundation; but then there's a heavy dose of white pepper and lime that strike the olfactory senses in not-so-subtle kinda ways. Where the early impressions are witbier, the beer takes on gin n' tonic semblances late.
Sharp zesty lim hit the palate first and then allowing the more finesse attibutes of wheat, oranges, apples, and light sweetenss to branch out, engulfing the mouth slowly. The perfumy aromas turn around with a bitter pang in taste- reaching near soapy levels at times. The lime oils exacerbate this notion and surplant hop bitterness to finish, leaving the beer very peppery in nature.
Medium bodied early on, but as the champagne-like carbonation recedes, the dry wheat character leaves the beer pleasantly powdery to finish. Along with the sharp bitterness and mild lime astringencies, alcohol warmth further pushes the notion of peppery dryness to close out the beer.
There's a high celebration that's going on in this beer that pushes it upwards and outwards. Bigger than the typical witbier and lime additions seem to distract the palate a bit from the sheer refreshment of the originals, but the lime complexities definately offer intrigue to the currious palate.

A: Had on tap at the brewery. Slightly hazed golden straw color with a hefty white head that recedes into practically nothing, which is a bit disappointing.
S: Smells very wheaty, with spicy yeast and citrus notes.
T: Opens up with some extremely bready wheat flavors, which goes a bit tart as the subtle lime peel and coriander come in. A bit of hop bite and more grain on the dry finish.
M: Medium body but feels quite light. Carbonation is spot on.
O: Interesting witbier. I've always wondered why nobody uses lime in this style because of its nice balance of tartness and bitterness, and it turned out quite well.

This beer is hazy golden straw yellow with a one finger off white head. It has an aroma of wheat, citrusy hops as well as some earthy spices. The taste reflects the nose. It has a lot of wheat, the wheat is slightly spicy. There is a good bit of lemon zest from the wheat as well as some floral notes. There is some onion and herbal spices as well. The hop profile is more then what you would find in most witbier's. There is a nice citrus aroma similar to what I would expect out of an apa/ipa. The feel of this beer is fairly smooth and easy enough to drink. It is somewhat tart and dry but not too much so. Overall, this is a decent witbier, its more hop forward then the style typically entails but thats not a bad thing at all.

I had this on-tap at Max's. Served in a sample glass.
Appearance: Pours a clear golden color with just under half a finger of white head. As the head fades, it leaves some nice lace on the glass.
Smell: I'm getting some light malt along with a spice note. The spice note is a bit garbled.
Taste: I can pick up the coriander and there is a touch of lime peel. Light but I wouldn't describe this beer as crisp. The finish is bready and yeasty.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with prickly carbonation and a dry finish.
Overall: This beer didn't really stand out in any way. Not bad, but I don't need to have another.

Glad to finally try this beer...
The beer pours a rich looking golden yellow with no haze and a giant plume of fluffy white head. There is relatively good head retention, although there isn't any lacing. The nose is exquisitely tropical with big notes of lime zest and coriander mellowed out by a light wheat sweetness. Its taste is bitter, but approachable, sweet, but very well attenuated, and definitely a successful representation of liquid summer. The flavors are all bright and pop with each sip and it's an easy sipping beer. Definitely a beer worth trying and I'd try it again on tap or In a growler.

T - Flavors are sweet with a spicy note in the finish. Some light grains are present. But overall this is a light beer with mild spicy notes.
M - Easy drinker but the flavors don't lend itself to being particularly drinkable. I found the scent and flavor profile a bit much after one of these.
O - A funky witbier with a unique aroma. It is a standout, but not one I would enjoy more than once.

On tap at Max's the other day.
The beer pours a fairly dark gold color with good head retention and light lacing. The menu indicates that this witbeer was made with lime and coriandor, but I'm not picking up much of either on the nose. Mostly, I'm just picing up a considerable amount of clove and light honey, with maybe some underlying lemon and light coriandor. The beer is better on the palate, as now I'm picking up more of the lime, and it's a welcome addition to the clove, honey and light coriandor. The beer is a bit sweeter than I normally like to see in a wit beer, but is other pretty tasty and drinkable. Mouthfeel is a bit light with a somewhat watery finish, and I get some spice at the very end.
A nice enough wit, but it seems like there are a million others out there that are pretty similar to the version from Brooklyn brewing.

On tap at Blind Tiger.
Beer is golden in colour, with a smallish white head. Decent retention, good lacing.
Hops are really the focus of the nose. Lots of citrus; orange and grapefruit, some pineapple. Some wheat scents betray that this is not actually an American IPA. The Belgian yeast is present as well.
Taste has Belgian yeast, citrus hops (orange, grapefruit). Lots of coriander- too much for me, and I like coriander a lot. Lime is present but I didn't find it to be overly strong. Some bubblegum flavour from the wheat. Fairly bitter.
Medium bodied, highly carbonated. A bit oily.
Overall, quite good. Certainly not your typical witbier, with all of the American hops.

The Tomioka Silk Mill was built in 1872 to improve the quality of Japan's raw silk, one of the nation's main exports. The mill boasts many unique features that clearly reflect Japan's distinct experience of industrialization. First, the mill was a national government-operated factory built under the Japanese government policy to encourage new industry. French silk-reeling technologies were actively introduced at this model mill in Tomioka, and those techniques were then widely disseminated across the nation. Moreover, the mill produced high-standard products for export promotion. The Tomioka Silk Mill is considered as a significant testimony to show how the Western concept of industrial revolution-modernization-in the form of "factories" spread to the Far East and was incorporated in a full-fledged and rapid manner.
The mass-production of raw silk brought about by the development of mechanized filature at the Tomioka Silk Mill and the promotion of silk exports increased demand for cocoons, the raw material for silk. The needs to increase cocoon production brought distinctive features to houses of silk-raising farmers in Gunma Prefecture. Groups of those houses formed a unique rural landscape with mulberry fields surrounding them. In addition, houses that produced silkworm eggs and supplied them to the sericulture houses as well as cold storage facilities were set up. Moreover, sericulture training facilities and warehouse facilities and railroads related to the transport of cocoons and raw silk as well as union organizations for traditional manual silk-reeling houses were created. A silk textile industry also developed in the area. As a consequence, a unique cultural landscape related to the silk industry was formed. Drawing on the sericulture and filature which were already flourishing in the Edo period (1600-1868), the silk industry blossomed in Japan with modernization.
Gunma Prefecture became one of the leading productive centres of cocoons and raw silk in Japan, and the advanced technology developed at the Tomioka Silk Mill spread throughout the nation. As a result, Japan became the world's largest exporter of raw silk in 1909, and the foreign currency earned through silk exports fueled the advancement of the industrial revolution in Japan and the shift from light industry to heavy industry. Along with the development of a modern silk industry in the United States and other countries, the inexpensive, high-quality raw silk that Japan exported contributed to the popularization of silk in the world.
Statements of authenticity and/or integrity
The entire site of the Tomioka Silk Mill is designated as a Historic Site, and the buildings dating from the inauguration of the mill are designated as Important Cultural Properties. The other related silk industry properties are also preserved in excellent condition. Thus, it is considered that authenticity is fully ensured.
The site includes not only the Tomioka Silk Mill but also the full ensemble of its related silk industry facilities. Thus, it is also considered that integrity is sufficiently ensured.
Comparison with other similar properties
A set of silk mill facilities that was introduced in the early Meiji Period (1868-1912) is well preserved. In addition, its related industrial heritage also remains, including the sericulture houses and their distinctive cultural landscape, silkworm-egg storage facilities, and the old railroad system for silk-related transport. The site is considered exceptional as industrial heritage that shows the development from traditional raw silk production in the government's policy to promote industrialization and export.

Understanding Flash ADCs
Sep 16, 2010
Abstract: Flash analog-to-digital converters, also known as parallel ADCs, are the fastest way to convert an analog signal to a digital signal. Flash ADCs are ideal for applications requiring very large bandwidth, but they consume more power than other ADC architectures and are generally limited to 8-bit resolution. This tutorial will discuss flash converters and compare them with other converter types.
Flash analog-to-digital converters, also known as
ADCs, are the fastest way to convert an analog signal to a digital signal.
Flash ADCs
are suitable for applications requiring very large bandwidths. However, these converters consume considerable power, have relatively low resolution, and can be quite expensive. This limits them to high-frequency applications that typically cannot be addressed any other way. Typical examples include data acquisition, satellite communication, radar processing, sampling oscilloscopes, and high-density disk drives.
This tutorial will discuss flash converters and compare them with other converter types.
Architectural Details
Flash ADCs are made by cascading high-speed comparators.
Figure 1
shows a typical flash ADC block diagram. For an N-bit converter, the circuit employs 2
-1 comparators. A resistive-divider with 2
resistors provides the reference
. The reference voltage for each comparator is one least significant bit (
) greater than the reference voltage for the comparator immediately below it. Each comparator produces a 1 when its analog input voltage is higher than the reference voltage applied to it. Otherwise, the comparator output is 0. Thus, if the analog input is between V
and V
, comparators X
through X
produce 1s and the remaining comparators produce 0s. The point where the code changes from ones to zeros is the point at which the input signal becomes smaller than the respective comparator reference-voltage levels.
Figure 1. Flash ADC architecture. If the analog input is between V
and V
, comparators X
through X
produce 1s and the remaining comparators produce 0s.
This architecture is known as thermometer code encoding. This name is used because the design is similar to a mercury thermometer, in which the mercury column always rises to the appropriate
and no mercury is present above that temperature. The thermometer code is then decoded to the appropriate digital output code.
The comparators are typically a cascade of
low-gain stages. They are low gain because at high frequencies it is difficult to obtain both wide
and high gain. The comparators are designed for low-voltage offset, so that the input offset of each comparator is smaller than an LSB of the ADC. Otherwise, the comparator's offset could falsely trip the comparator, resulting in a digital output code that is not representative of a thermometer code. A regenerative latch at each comparator output stores the result. The latch has positive feedback, so that the end state is forced to either a 1 or a 0.
Given these basics, some adjustments are needed to optimize the flash converter architecture.
Sparkle Codes
Normally, the comparator outputs will be a thermometer code, such as 00011111. Errors can cause an output like 00010111, meaning that there is a spurious zero in the result. This out-of-sequence 0 is called a sparkle, which is caused by imperfect input settling or comparator timing mismatch. The magnitude of the error can be quite large. Modern converters like the
employ an input track-and-hold in front of the ADC along with an encoding technique that suppresses sparkle codes.
When the digital output from a comparator is ambiguous (neither a 1 nor a 0), the output is defined as metastable. Metastability can be reduced by allowing more time for regeneration. Gray-code encoding, which allows only 1 bit in the output to change at a time, can greatly improve metastability. . Thus, the comparator outputs are first converted to gray-code encoding and then later decoded to binary, if desired.
Another problem occurs when a metastable output drives two distinct circuits. It is possible for one circuit to declare the input a 1, while the other circuit thinks that it is a 0. This can create major errors. To avoid this conflict, only one circuit should sense a potentially mestatable output.
Input Signal-Frequency Dependence
When the input signal changes before all the comparators have completed their tasks, the ADC's performance is adversely impacted. The most serious impact is a drop-off in
signal-to-noise ratio
) plus
) as the frequency of the analog input frequency increases.
Measuring spurious-free dynamic range (
) is another good way to observe converter performance. The "effective bits" achieved by the ADC is a function of input frequency; it can be improved by adding a track-and-hold (
) circuit in front of the ADC. The T/H circuit allows dramatic improvement, especially when input frequencies approach the
frequency, as shown in
Figure 2
(taken from the MAX104 data sheet). Parts without T/H show a significant drop-off in SFDR.
Figure 2. Spurious-free dynamic range as a function of input frequency.
Clock Jitter
SNR is degraded when there is
in the sampling clock. This becomes noticeable for high analog-input frequencies. To achieve accurate results, it is critical to provide the ADC with a low-jitter, sampling clock
Architectural Trade-Offs
ADCs can be implemented by employing a variety of architectures. The principal trade-offs among these alternatives are:
The time it takes to complete a conversion (conversion time)
. For flash converters, the conversion time does not change materially with increased resolution. The conversion time for
successive approximation register
(SAR) or pipelined converters, however, increases approximately linearly with an increase in resolution (
Figure 3a
). For integrating ADCs, the conversion time doubles with every bit increase in resolution.
Component matching requirements in the circuit
. Flash ADC component matching typically limits resolution to around 8 bits. Calibration and trimming are sometimes used to improve the matching available on chip. Component matching requirements double with every bit increase in resolution. This pattern applies to flash, successive approximation, or pipelined converters, but not to integrating converters. For integrating converters, component matching does not materially increase with an increase in resolution (
Figure 3b
Die size, cost, and power
. For flash converters, every bit increase in resolution almost doubles the size of the ADC core circuitry. The power also doubles. In contrast, a SAR, pipelined, or
ADC die size will increase linearly with an increase in resolution; an integrating converter core die size will not materially change with an increase in resolution (
Figure 3c
). Finally, it is well known that an increase in die size increases cost.
Figure 3. Architectural trade-offs.
Flash ADC vs. Other ADC Architectures
Flash vs. SAR ADCs
In a SAR converter, a single high-speed, high-accuracy comparator determines the bits, one bit at a time (from the
down to the LSB). This is done by comparing the analog input with a
whose output is updated by previously decided bits and thus successively approximates the analog input. This
nature of the SAR limits its speed to no more than a few mega-samples per second (
), while flash ADCs exceed giga-samples per second (Gsps) conversion rates.
SAR converters are available in resolutions up to 16 bits. An example of such a device is the
. Flash ADCs are typically limited to around 8 bits. The slower speed also allows the SAR ADC to be much lower in power. For example, the
, an 8-bit SAR converter, uses 100µA at 3.3V with a conversion rate of 25ksps. The MAX104 dissipates 5.25W, about 16,000 times higher power consumption than the MAX1106 and 40,000 times faster in terms of its maximum
sampling rate
The SAR architecture is also less expensive. The MAX1106 at 1k volumes sells at something over a dollar (U.S.), while the MAX104 sells at several hundred dollars (U.S.). Package sizes are larger for flash converters. In addition to a larger die size requiring a larger package, the package needs to dissipate considerable power and needs many pins for power and ground signal integrity. The package size of the MAX104 is more than 50 times larger than the MAX1106.
Flash vs. Pipelined ADCs
A pipelined ADC employs a parallel structure in which each stage works on one to a few bits of successive samples concurrently. This design improves speed at the expense of power and latency, but each pipelined stage is much slower than a flash section. The pipelined ADC requires accurate amplification in the DACs and interstage amplifiers, and these stages have to settle to the desired linearity level. By contrast, in a flash ADC the comparator only needs to be low offset and to resolve its inputs to a digital level; there is no
settling time involved. Some flash converters require preamplifers to drive the comparators.
linearity needs to be specified carefully.
Pipelined converters convert at speeds of around 100Msps at 8- to 14-bit resolutions. An example of a pipelined converter is the
, a 105MHz, 10-bit ADC. For a given resolution, pipelined ADCs are around 10 times slower than flash converters of similar resolution. Pipelined converters are possibly the optimal architecture for ADCs that need to sample at rates up to around 100Msps with resolution at 10 bits and above. For resolutions up to 10 bits and conversion rates above a few hundred Msps, flash ADCs dominate.
Interestingly, there are some situations where flash ADCs are hidden inside a converter employing another architecture to increase its speed.
Flash vs. Integrating ADCs
Single, dual, and multislope ADCs achieve high resolutions of 16 bits or more, are relatively inexpensive, and dissipate materially less power. These devices support very low conversion rates, typically less than a few hundred
samples per second
. Most applications are for monitoring DC signals in the instrumentation and industrial markets. This architecture competes with sigma-delta converters.
Flash vs. Sigma-Delta ADCs
Flash ADCs do not compete with a sigma-delta architecture because currently the achievable conversion rates differ by up to two orders of magnitude. The sigma-delta architecture is suitable for applications with much lower bandwidth, typically less than 1MHz, and with resolutions in the 12- to 24-bit range. Sigma-delta converters are capable of the highest resolution possible in ADCs. They require simpler
filters (if needed) to bandlimit the signal prior to conversion.
Sigma-delta ADCs trade speed for resolution by oversampling, followed by filtering to reduce noise. However, these devices are not always efficient for multichannel applications. This architecture can be implemented by using sampled data filters, also known as modulators, or continuous-time filters. For higher frequency conversion rates the continuous-time architecture is potentially capable of reaching conversion rates in the hundreds of Msps range with low resolution of 6 to 8 bits. This approach is still in the early research and development stage and offers competition to flash alternatives in the lower conversion rate range.
Another interesting use of a flash ADC is as a building block inside a sigma-delta circuit to increase the conversion rate of the ADC.
Subranging ADCs
When higher resolution converters or smaller die size and power for a given resolution are needed, multistage conversion is employed. This architecture is known as a subranging converter, also sometimes referred to as a multistep or
converter. This approach combines ideas from successive approximation and flash architectures.
Subranging ADCs reduce the number of bits to be converted into smaller groups, which are then run through a lower-resolution flash converter. This approach reduces the number of comparators and reduces the logic complexity compared to a flash converter (
Figure 4
). The trade-off results in a slower conversion speed compared to flash.
Figure 4. Subranging ADC architecture.
is an 8-bit, 1Msps ADC implemented with a subranging architecture. This circuit employs a two-step technique. First, a conversion is completed with a 4-bit converter. A residue is created, where an 8-bit accurate DAC converts the result of the 4-bit conversion back to an analog signal. The analog signal is subtracted from the input signal. Second, this residue is again converted by the 4-bit ADC and the results of the first and second pass are combined to provide the 8-bit digital output.
Process Technology
Flash converter speeds are currently in excess of 1Gsps. The 2.2Gbps MAX109 is fabricated with an advanced SiGE process. The
(1.5Gsps), MAX104 (1Gsps), and
(600Msps) 8-bit ADCs are manufactured with Maxim's proprietary, advanced GST-2 bipolar process ("giga"-speed silicon bipolar process).
flash converters are available at lower speed with resolutions compared to bipolar technology offerings. These ADCs are typically intended for integration into a larger CMOS circuit. CMOS, BiCMOS, and bipolar technologies will continue to improve, yielding increasingly higher conversion rates.
For applications requiring modest resolutions, typically up to 8-bits, at sampling frequencies in the high hundreds of
, the flash architecture may be the only viable alternative. The user must supply a low-jitter clock to ensure good ADC performance. For applications with high analog-input frequencies, the ADC chosen should have an internal track-and-hold.

Dear Colleagues,
Over the past three decades, our graduate school has taken seriously its mission to educate intelligent, skilled, and ethical nurse clinicians, scientists, faculty and executives. We have graduated over 1600 nurses, 175 with the PhD and 14 DNP, who serve as health care leaders around the globe. We have doubled our number of student scholarships and now celebrate the largest student body in our school's history.
Our ranking continues to be one of the world's finest, and this is due to a stellar faculty, very talented students, a remarkably esthetic setting, and our school's special spirit. Our faculty now boasts four Fellows in the American Academy of Nursing – a most distinguished honor. Our faculty hold doctoral or post-doctoral degrees from the finest schools in the country. They publish widely in respected journals, preside as officers in national and international nursing organizations, and are skilled certified practitioners, specialists or executives.
Over the past five years we have seen the number of our programs, students, graduates, and faculty dramatically increase. Our research and scholarly productivity has increased exponentially. Dr. Cynthia Connelly, Director of Nursing Research, was awarded the largest research grant in the University's history. Dr. Susan Instone, Director of Advanced Practice Programs, initiated the DNP program, which has now accepted its third class of students.
Dr. Patricia Roth, PhD Nursing Director, has brought in over a million dollars in scholarships and forgivable loans for our PhD students. Director of International Programs, Dr. Anita Hunter, was a guest of honor at the inaugural opening of the Mbarara, Uganda, Pediatric Hospital, which she and her teams helped design, build, fund, and staff. Director Karen Macauley revolutionized our Simulation and Standardized Patient Nursing Laboratory, where most of our students now receive approximately 25% of their clinical experience, and where specialized computer systems provide voluminous research data about practitioners' clinical skills.
As you review our WEB site, and note the research, clinical, and scholarly achievements of our faculty and students, and sense the school's spirit and camaraderie, you will understand why our alumni deservedly show pride in their Alma Mater. We are so grateful to our clinical partners and affiliates, preceptors, donors, and federal, state, and foundation granting agencies for providing talents and treasure that have enabled these accomplishments.
Our students are women and men who represent many faiths, ethnic groups, and geographical regions, but they all share certain things in common – intellectual curiosity, critical thinking skills, and a compassion for their patients.
Wishing you the best of health and the best in your professional career,
Sally Brosz Hardin, Ph.D., R.N., F.A.A.N., Dean and Professor

The auction house said the original 1967 collage for the insert to the album sold to a bidder in London on Tuesday.
The sale marked the first time the collage by Sir Peter Blake was on the market.
The auction house said Blake was introduced to the Beatles by his dealer, and that he and his wife worked closely with Paul McCartney and John Lennon to create the imagery of the "Sgt. Pepper."
Sotheby's said the collage was sold from the collection of architect Colin St. John Wilson.
The auction house had estimated that the piece would sell for between 50,000 and 80,000 pounds.
