About the original guitar - Ken Lawrence Explorer "Flaming Sun"
Shortly after the tour for St. Anger started, we saw James with a brand new Ken Lawrence Explorer. It is one of James Hetfield's Favorite guitars. This was like his first but on steroids! Most often used live for ballad songs and collisionally Master Of Puppets . James acquired this guitar from luthier Ken Lawrence sometime between 2003-2006. The top was a beautiful quilted Bubinga piece and the inlay was a very large and intricate flaming Sun design. he has another one that he got in 1996 but it had different inlays and a Chechen top. It has the ESP Mx body shape ,but the cool 3+3 headstock is designed by Ken Lawrence himself. James prefers to use this for clean songs. It seemed to replace the first KL Explorer on the road for awhile, but these days they both seem to get a fair amount of use on tour.
About our replica
About the original Esp Ken Lawrence Explorer Metallic James Hetfiled, we think we needn't say more, if you are also the fan of james hetfiled, you know this is a very typical guitar of james', which accompanied james to show various of concerts, and is also the most favorite one to james, the original guitar was tailor made by Ken Lawrence according to james' style, which features mahogany body and mahogany neck, che chen cap, the shape of this guitar is the same with esp explores used by james earlier, one original guitar costs more than $6000, to many guitarists in the street, it is indeed a sky-high price, but any way it worth, Mr. ken only can make several guitars of this kind every year, every one is priceless, guys like us can not afford it at all. Ok, let us talk about our guitar.
First, our replicated Esp Ken Lawrence Explorer Metallic James Hetfiledwas built as the blueprint, both the body and the neck is same with the original guitar, now on the replica market, some Chinese copies are totally wrong, their headstock shape is much bigger, pls look at this pic below.
Second, the neck joint style and way of our guitar is also same with the original Esp Ken Lawrence Explorer Metallic James Hetfiled, those copies are wrong, look at below.Third, the original Esp Ken Lawrence Explorer Metallic James Hetfiled features che chen cap, this kind of wood is very rare, it is also a noxious wood, the price is high too, though we didn't use the che chen cap, we use the very beautiful rosewood cap, which is much more quality than the cheap guitars, you can check the pic if you don't belive what we said.
Forth, it is the texture, the control cavity plate and the truss rod cover of the original Esp Ken Lawrence Explorer Metallic James Hetfiled is made of mahogany, and the paint has satin finish, at these two point, our guitar is the same as the original one, but those copies on the market use black plastics, and their paint has glossy finish, check the pic below.
Fifth, the fretboard inlays, our replicated Esp Ken Lawrence Explorer Metallic James Hetfiled inlay pattern is also the same with the standard sun flames of the original guitar, but those cheap ones are completely rubbish.
Sixth, It is the price, the original Esp Ken Lawrence Explorer Metallic James Hetfiled costs fucking $6000, we said guys like us can not afford it at all, now our guitar only sold at just $450 we just want to realize fans' one dream, and share it with all of our friends.About pickupsIt worth mentioning that the pickups we select is Wilkinson pickups, Which is attractive in quality and price. Wilkinson pickups is what we strongly advised. It will save you much money!! Along with the top quality of Wilkinson is stable and reliable enough!!!Of course, we also have the original pickups- EMG 81/60, which are James Hetfield favorite pickups, can give you original James sound, but you need pay extra money.
About James Hetfield
James Hetfiled is the rhythm guitarist, co-founder, main composer and lead singer in the heavy metal band Metallica. Metallica was set up in Oct 1981, since that time, Metallica has won 9 Grammy Awards, and released 9 studio albums, three live albums, four extensive plays and twenty-four singles. In 2009, Hetfield was recorded No. 8 in Joel McIver's book The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists, and rated No. twenty four in the 100 Greatest Metal Vocalists after beating Parader. James favors Explorer guitar so much that he has employed Explorer guitars from Gibson to ESP successively, and he has been the primary endorser for ESP since 1980. James' main custom-made guitar is the Explorer specifically manufactured by Ken Lawrence.
Ken Lawrence Explorer Guitar Maker: Ken Lawrence
Ken Lawrence Musical Instruments was established by Ken Lawrence in 1986 for bass and guitar custom design business. Except remaining as a luthier, Ken Lawrence is also a bassist, he commenced building electric guitar in Moonstone Guitars in 1981 and 5 years later he setup his personal business. Ken Lawrence primarily hand crafts instruments, so the handling usually takes him one full year to accomplish an instrument, and the yearly producing quantity is 20 to 25, so the cost is fairly high-priced. And he also custom makes guitars for Hetfield and his band mates from American music band Metallica. What he made for James is fundamentally based upon ESP explorer, but the headstock and fingerboard inlays differ somehow.
About other ken Lawrence style explorers.
According to our customers requirements, we have built another two custom versions, one is with flame maple cap, the other is wart poplar cap, they are all available now.

About other James Hetfield Guitars made by ken lawrence.
MID 1990S, KEN LAWRENCE EXPLORER 1 BEAST INLAYFirst seen in/around 1996, James' first Ken Lawrence Explorer was a very cool departure from previous guitars seen onstage. Where other guitars had inlays like middle fingers or were completely blacked out, the Ken Lawrence Explorer brought a very cool change with it's all natural finish and choice of exotic woods.It is based off of one of James' favorite Explorer guitars and is 100% designed to his specs. James favors this guitar for any "clean" songs, that is, a song where a clean tone is needed such as One, Enter Sandman, Nothing Else Matters, etc.The inlay has been referred to as a "father and sun hunting trip" but actually depicts several individuals hunting a beast. Ken will NOT replicate this inlay. If you see other guitars he's built similar to James Hetfield's Explorer….they're just that. SIMILAR. He changes the inlays.

A few of us had a photo of the guitar once completed, but Ken asked for us to not post anything until James brought it out in public and that didn't happen for quite awhile.Some cool features include…well, the entire guitar! It features a dragon design by Corey Miller and awesome inlay work on the entire guitar. A very nice finish and custom covered EMG 81/60 pickups. Literally topping it off is the awesome 3+3 Ken Lawrence headstock as found on the Explorers.Although James loves the guitar and has used it live, it seems that it's a tad too heavy so we haven't seen it used too often.

2006, KEN LAWRENCE DOUBLENECK EXPLORERSometime around 2006, James received another Ken Lawrence Explorer but it was somewhat of a surprise. Word has it that Ken went to deliver the KL Les Paul and he happened to bring along a doubleneck explorer for James to checkout. James loved it and wanted it right then and there! A rare sight to be seen, it has appeared several times in the studio and also live.

Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's feminist chief operating officer, offers advice for women in the corporate jungle in her new book coming out Monday, "Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead."
Proceeds of the book will go to a nonprofit Sandberg started to help women called LeanIn.org, according to the Associated Press. Here are a few of her tips:
Sit at the table.Plagued by self-doubt and "feeling like a fraud," women consistently underestimate themselves and their abilities, Sandberg writes. For a host of reasons, women often hold themselves back by literally not sitting at the table where decisions are made. Instead, they choose to watch from the sidelines. She urges institutions and individuals to encourage and promote women. And she encourages women to sit at the table and raise their hands. Men are already doing it, after all.When negotiating, "Think personally, act communally."Preface salary negotiations by explaining that you know women often get paid less than men, so you are going to "negotiate rather than accept the original offer," she writes. This way, women can position themselves as connected to a group. Whenever possible, she adds, use "we" instead of "I."Don't sacrifice being liked for being successful.Sandberg recalls her first formal performance review with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg a few months after she started her job. He told her that her desire to be liked by everyone would hold her back. He said, "when you want to change things, you can't please everyone." He was right, she writes.
Sandberg has been criticized as being out of touch, according to the Washington Post, especially when she describes Mommy moments on a private jet. She's also worth upwards of $30 million, so the idea that she or her husband are parenting alone is a bit ludicrous. Still, there may be some wisdom in her views on women in the workplace and she's one of the few women today that aren't scared of the label "feminist."

Why are the happiest workers in government so happy?
Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, has been on something of a one-man mission during the past decade to give federal managers more flexibility to manage. He's sought to give them more control over hiring, greater ability to reward hard workers and more discretion over benefits. Unable to get much governmentwide reform through Congress, Voinovich has instead fought agency by agency, getting Congress to pass into law flexible personnel rules for places such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, NASA and the Government Accountability Office. Interestingly, those three agencies topped a recent survey of federal employees as the best places to work in government.
"That tickles me," he says. He sees the survey results as vindication, and they raise an interesting question: Does giving managers more power lead to happier workers?
As a former mayor and governor, Voinovich says it was natural for him to focus on human resources issues when he became a senator in the late 1990s. "We realized that for agencies to get the folks they need that we needed to give them more flexibilities," he says.
Voinovich worked with the heads of the three agencies to give them leeway they needed to attract and retain workers. From better relocation benefits to higher student loan repayment help to bringing back retirees without cutting their annuities, he shepherded through Congress a variety of tools for managers to use. Voinovich says: "One was as simple as if you decided you wanted to come work for the federal government, and you go home and say to your spouse, 'I'd like to work for the federal government,' and she says, 'Fine, what kind of leave do you get?' 'Well, if I'm here for a year I get two weeks; if I'm here for three years I get three; and after 15 years I get a month,' and she says, 'I'm not sure I like that.' " Voinovich helped get the agencies the power to offer mid-career professionals more leave. "That's pretty simple stuff," he says.
Many federal workers have been wary of giving their bosses more power over pay and benefits. Some worry that their bosses would use that power not for meritorious purposes but to enrich themselves or their favorite cronies instead. Others are concerned that their bosses simply aren't good at assessing employees' value to agencies.
Indeed, the top marks employees give to NRC, NASA and GAO merely could reflect the intellectual pleasure employees feel working at agencies with interesting missions and challenging assignments.
Where better for a space scientist to be than NASA? What auditor wouldn't want to work at GAO? To Voinovich, however, there's something more. At a recent oversight hearing on NASA, he talked about the management flexibilities that he helped secure for the space agency. "You could just see the smiles on the faces of the people sitting behind the acting director," he says.
Indeed, scientists at Navy facilities where managers were granted more power over pay in the 1980s and 1990s generally reported greater satisfaction with their jobs. It wasn't particularly surprising, since most scientists saw their pay rise faster than they would have under the normal federal pay scale.
Likewise, managers at the three agencies topping the best places to work in government now have greater power to raise their employees' pay and benefits. It's probably not the managerial power that improves employee satisfaction, but how managers use it that makes the difference.

If you are looking for a Belize Holiday you won't forget, you have come to the right place! We take both cruise ship passengers or those arriving in Belize by land or air, to stay for a few days or longer. Major Tom, Minor Tom, and their fine crew will bring you the holiday experience you are looking for, and much more!
Major Tom and Tom Jr. - making your vacation in Belize a great adventure!
On cruises to Belize, we meet you on shore through TERMINAL ONE with a signboard reading MAJOR TOM AND MINOR TOM, CAVE TUBING". If arriving by air, we can meet you at the airport and offer transfers to hotels, local airlines, or water taxis.
Tours are in air conditioned cars, vans, or buses, and include leisurely drives through the beautiful Belize countryside. Attractions are between 40 minutes and an hour away from Belize City. Cave tubing is at the
, which provides visitors with the best opportunities to explore the magnificent cave system there, floating through safely and leisurely, while admiring the fantastic formations both inside and outside the caves.
Mayan ruins, wildlife centers, riverboat wildlife tours, green, magnificent tropical primary broadleaf rainforest, nature trails, you name it, we take you there!!
And remember, for those planning extended holidays in Belize, Major Tom, Tom Jr. and their professional guides are destination managers since 1986 - in country and international airline bookings, local water taxi transfers, "meet and greet" service at the airport, hotel/lodge reservations, tour packages including any of the distinations in Belize as well as Mayan sites in Mexico and Guatemala.
Choose Belize for your extended stay and go for "see and sea" - land destinations and fabulous island holidays. Ask about our HEART OF THE MAYA package.
Your cave tubing tour will start with a 30 minute hike through well kept and easy to traverse nature trails, which take you through two small dry caves with
gorgeous stalactite and stalagmite formations and awesome crystal curtains
. The flora of the rainforest is typical of a well preserved tropical broadleaf eco-system, with many famous hardwoods, medicinal plants, and some farming produce such as guava, mamei, pineapple, sugarcane, mango, avocado, and coconut trees.
As you reach the river system of the Sibun Caves Branch,
enjoy a cool splash in this undisturbed, unpolluted spring and rain fed waterway
which punched a cavernous cave system through the hills of the Sibun Range during the early cretaceous period – over 100 million years ago! But there is more to this system than meets the eye. The advent of the famous Maya Civilization to this area known as Meso-America, meant the use of the caves as an earthly journey through the mythological underworld of the Maya faith – and confrontation with the nine dark lords who governed the nine levels of that world.
As you float down the river, you will experience the wonder of animal and bird-shaped stalactite formations once held sacred by those Mayan shamans, so
be sure to bring along a waterproof camera
, even a disposable one, with a flash unit.
At the end of your cave tubing journey through this astounding cave system, you will float out into the open, under the canopy of the majestically tall trees lining the riverbanks, until you end up right back where you started walking. This makes for an easy and totally enjoyable circuit, and allows you the opportunity to relax and reflect after your adventure.
Included in your tour: A/C van or bus with cellular phones for constant contact, cold bottled water, all professional cave tubing and safety equipment, highly trained guides, river safety staff, security for personal items, modern bathrooms, park entrance fees, showers and changing rooms provided for you at the site.
Come cave tubing with Major Tom, Minor Tom and their veteran guides!
Belize is the new English speaking nation of Central America, in the heart of the Caribbean Basin. We boast the second longest barrier reef in the world, pristine Caribbean waters, intact primary broadleaf rainforest, famous Mayan Ruins, wildlife centers, hundreds of explored and unexplored cave systems, great highways, and our finest asset – our many cultures, all living in harmony.
With a myriad of intricate cave systems, alluring jungle trails, and spectacular scenery, it is not surprising that the pristine forests of western Belize have fast developed as the region's premier cave tubing and adventure tourism destinations.

"Will our children have to leave J.S. Jenks Elementary School in June?"
That's what more than 80 parents who gathered in the J.S. Jenks Elementary School's auditorium wanted to know on Wednesday, April 11.
The meeting was held to address a whirlwind of rumors and conjecture about the possibility of a "mass transfer of students" at the public elementary school. At issue was the School District of Philadelphia's tradition of "principal privilege."
The School District of Philadelphia used to allow a principal to enroll children who lived outside the catchment area if spaces were available in September. It's a policy the School District plans to end starting in September 2013 due to school closures and citywide budget cuts.
A number of city and state representatives attended the meeting including City Councilwoman Cindy Bass, Briana Elzey, legislative assistant for State Rep. Cherelle L. Parker and Yahne' N. Baker, outreach coordinator for State Rep. Rosita Youngblood.
Parents breathed a sigh of relief when the school district officials announced that no children currently attending J.S. Jenks elementary school would be forced to leave.
City Councilwoman Cindy Bass called the meeting a "win-win."
Bass said she was happy that the meeting came to a resolution that "everyone is satisfied with."
"We were able to squash unfounded rumors and get down to the facts," Bass said. "I think it was a win-win. I think the school district did an excellent job. I think the parents are quite pleased with the resolution. I think this was a win-win for the community and the school district. When we communicate we can do nothing but win."
Several parents said they were told by various sources that students living outside the catchment area would receive transfer slips with their child's final report card at the end of the year instructing parents to enroll at their neighborhood school.
The rumors circulated after a letter was sent home on March 6 regarding the official transfer process.
According to school district policy students can attend J.S. Jenks three ways:
- They live in the catchment area
- They file a EH-36 form and are approved. (EH-36 requests are processed "in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Education adopted on Feb. 13, 1978 to foster desegregation.)
- They request a transfer under a provision in No Child Left Behind (NCLB) 2001 that states: "if a school continues to fail [Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)] for three consecutive years, parents have the right to transfer their child to a successful public school, including a charter school."
School officials said no new students will be admitted to a school through principal privilege.
"The purpose of today's meeting was to come together and build synergy between the community and between the school and between the administration offices on one accord to dispel the myths that children were going to be moved this upcoming September," said Claudia Averette, deputy of Administration to the Superintendent. "We are here to tell you that every child that is currently enrolled in Jenks will remain in this school until graduation unless the parents choose to do something else. This is not a witch hunt."
"It was never on the table," said Mary Lynskey, the principal of J.S. Jenks, referring to the mass transfers. "But, the rumor mill took over, and we had to clarify; we just wanted every voice in the same room."
Andre' Dhondt, whose children attend J.S. Jenks said he was upset that so many parents had to take time off from work to resolve the situation.
"It's sad it takes all this to get an answer," he said.
However, Dhondt said he was happy that the school district answered the question directly.
Rev. Paul Weeks, whose son attends Jenks said the meeting "went beyond my wildest expectation." He added that he hopes the school district "crosses the t's and dots the i's and takes the anxiety away from the parents."
Weeks said " I just hope that people will follow through on everything they [the school district] said.
"And bring back the partnership that is missing from this administration right now," he said. "My son has special needs and we received a letter last year in the middle of the summer saying he was automatically transferred. We are the prototype of this whole meeting. We need to make sure everybody follows through and gets back to partnering with our children- despite the budget cuts.
"Jenks is a really marque middle school K-8," he said. "We want to keep it that way despite any budget cuts. "It's incumbent upon us to work together. Jenks actually has a good problem-people are dying to get in, not dying to get out. That should be brought up in our dialogue of Jenks. It's a good problem-but lets manage that problem with respect for one another."
Yahne' N. Baker, outreach coordinator for Rep. Rosita Youngblood, said she wanted "to learn and understand both sides of the issues" and find a resolution without "a significant amount of advocacy."
"Because the school is working in collaboration with the parents, it's the ideal situation," Baker said.
"We commend the school district, the school and the parents who looked at the problem in a holistic way – What the children were going to need and how it would effect them.
Baker said the problem is that there aren't enough schools performing to a high standard.
"It is incumbent upon the school district to improve the schools across the board," Baker said. "So hopefully in the future, you will want to go to your neighborhood school because it's a wonderful school and it's close. That's the solution ultimately. This is the solution for the moment. But, every child deserves the highest quality education."

Celebrity Style at SXSW 2012
Solange Knowles, Kat Graham, and More Rock SXSW Looks to Inspire Music Festival Style
Solange Knowles, Kat Graham, and More Rock SXSW Looks to Inspire Music Festival Style
Now that SXSW has wrapped, we can take a closer look at the boho-cool style to emerge from the plethora of showcases, blowout concerts, and interactive panels. While Coachella may be known for its Indio heat-soaked, hippie-inspired fashion, and Bonnaroo is notorious for Woodstock-esque wares, Austin's week-long festival presents an interesting mix of freespirited prints and urban-chic pairings. This year, The Vampire Diaries Kat Graham and UK sensation Cher Lloyd donned '90s influenced pieces — think flannel, ripped up denim, and Madonna-esque crop tops, while Solange Knowles opted for a bright iteration of sleek colorblocking. Santigold kept it funky in striped jeans and a tuxedo blazer, Kreayshawn embraced her grungier Kurt Cobain side, and Kimbra played up the sweetness of a Peter Pan collar. To get inspired by the best SXSW looks, just keep clicking.

Barbers, Bakers and Bankers: Whose Job Is Future-Proof?
What do you want to be when you grow up?
An occultist, feather dresser, a lightning-rod maker? That's what a child in the mid-nineteenth century might have answered.
These occupations were among the jobs included in the Census of 1850, the first year the federal agency collected information on how Americans spent their working days.* These numbers in hand, the government formed policies and forecasts related to production, employment and other topics.
In 322 short entries, the list offers a snapshot of the antebellum economy, when lace manufacturers and mustard makers were found in plenty of towns and villages. (Which makes us think that Americans circa 1850 and present-day residents of certain Brooklyn neighborhoods might have a lot in common.)
Comparing the 1850 list to the 2010 version shows which occupations might realistically be considered timeless. Entertainers — or showmen, as our great-great-great grandparents might have called them–artists, editors (Aha! — Ed.), barbers and bakers were around back then, and they still toil away in large enough numbers to merit a listing in 2010. Same with physicians, veterinarians, civil engineers and lawyers.

You may have missed it, but just a few weeks ago, one of the highest-profile events in the history of the creation-evolution controversy took place when Bill Nye of Disney�s famed �Bill Nye the Science Guy� TV program debated Ken Ham, CEO of the Answers in Genesis Christian ministry.
Live from the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky., with more than 3 million people watching on television and online, the two men tussled over evolution, science, and whether creation represents a �viable model of origins.� I cheered for both sides, at least to some extent.
As a highly religious man of faith, I find enormous comfort in a Creator God who understands and loves us all. As a scientist who regularly teaches human evolution, I understand the scientific evidence well and find it both compelling and stimulating.
It surprises strong adherents on both sides of the debate to meet people like me. A recent Gallup survey, however, found over a third of Americans accept both human evolution and a Creator. Thus, folks like myself are exceptionally common, even though we make less noise.
But in the perceived battle between science and religion, too many display greater interest in protecting turf than in establishing and maintaining a respectful dialogue.
Both sides should know the other side is not going away. Three decades of surveys show essentially unchanged percentages of evolutionists and creationists, despite the steady buildup of scientific evidence for evolution, and despite evolving religious views.
And nearly everyone accepts some evolutionary change, creationists included. In the debate, Ham admitted that the 13 species of Darwin�s finches probably evolved from a common ancestor. The only major claim doubted by most creationists is whether humans also originated through evolution, though mainstream scientists settled this question among themselves decades ago.
Nevertheless, a deluge of scientific evidence rarely wins over creationists, and emotional appeals to the Bible rarely win over evolutionists. Core motivations differ dramatically for each side. Creationists are fixated on �whodunnit,� whereas evolutionists are equally fixated on �howdunnit.�
Measurements of nature by themselves cannot lead to the conclusion of the presence or absence of a supernatural creator. Scientific concepts might confirm pre-existing faith, but they almost never provide that initial spark of faith. Thus, if you want to know �whodunnit,� science has limited utility.
Conversely, religious texts give only limited details of the mechanisms behind creation. Explanations like �formed from the dust� or �speaking something into existence� can promote awe among believers, but they make weak science because they do not lead to any testable hypotheses.
Some creationists argue that understanding creation is beyond human comprehension. That�s fine for them, I suppose, but if scientists held the same viewpoint, they never would have discovered the cures for so many diseases, nor would they have created such marvelous technologies. Thus, if you want to know �howdunnit,� religious texts have limited utility.
Creationists occasionally put forth testable scientific hypotheses as Ham did in his debate. But this strategy is mostly smoke and mirrors. Arguments about the internal motors of bacterial flagella, or the clustering of proteins in a cell membrane, are a sideshow. Creationists give credence to these �scientific arguments� only because they think it leads to the conclusion of a loving Creator � a beautiful conclusion, even if it rests on flawed science.
Likewise, evolutionists occasionally insist on the absence of a supernatural creator. Some, such as Richard Dawkins, even use evolution as a club against belief in God. This is ironic for at least two reasons. First, as mentioned above, science provides insight only into the natural world, never the supernatural. Second, atheist evolutionists are actually in the minority. Gallup surveys show over two thirds of evolutionists also consider themselves believers.
Clearly, accepting evolution is not synonymous with a purely secular life.
To believers, human evolution can help to explain aspects of human nature troublesome from a religious perspective. Why are there so many diseases, sexual temptations, and obesity, and how can we understand the differences between women and men? Religion provides valuable insight into these questions, but the questions make even more sense in the light of evolution.
So next time you see skirmishes between Christian and Darwinian fish, ask yourself this: �Why not both?� As theologian Thomas Troeger so beautifully captured in his hymn �Praise the Source of Faith and Learning,� in an ideal world, religion and science simply represent two currents in a river that �fight each other�s undertow, till converging they deliver one coherent steady flow.�

Note: Not all pins on the Mega and Mega 2560 support change interrupts, so only the following can be used for RX: 10, 11, 12, 13, 50, 51, 52, 53, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69
It is possible to have multiple software serial ports with speeds up to 115200 bps.
SoftwareSerial (or NewSoftSerial) was not designed for use on a board with 4 hardware serial ports. Why do you need to use it on a Mega?
Paul, can you explain why SoftwareSerial etc was not designed for MEGA? Just because it has plenty serial ports already? Thanks.
Have you tried my AltSoftSerial library?http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_AltSoftSerial.htmlIt only supports a single instance, and requires specific pins, and uses a timer.... but it creates much less interrupt latency than normal SoftwareSerial. In some cases (with carefully chosen baud rates), it can even be used together with AltSoftSerial and SoftwareSerial in the same project, for 3 serial ports on an Arduino Uno.Of course, if you're using Mega, Due, Teensy3 or any other board that has multiple real hardware serial, you should always use the hardware serial before resorting to software serial.

Baseball Fans in Tampa for the Superbowl
Kevin Costner is a popular guy around Tampa Bay. He's a regular at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am in Lutz, and last fall, his band, Modern West, composed a rah-rah jingle for the Tampa Bay Rays.
Now he's plotting his own Super Bowl party in Tampa.
Costner and Michael Strahan will host this year's Saturday Night Spectacular at 8 p.m. Jan. 31 at the Pepin Hospitality Centre. The event will feature a performance by the avant-garde circus Circue USA; Starship Supergroup, a classic-rock supergroup composed of members of Jefferson Starship, Toto, Survivor and the Dazz Band; and, yes, Costner and Modern West ( in case you just can't get enough of It's All Up To You ).
The charity listed as a beneficiary of the event is named for Matthew Tryson Bryant, Bucs kicker Matt Bryant's 3-month-old son who died suddenly in September. (The charity is still in the works.)
For Individual tickets to the party, visit http://saturdaynightspectacular.com.

I wish I could go, I have to attend the NFLPA party in Ybor City that night. I have attended the last 2 when the Superbowl has been in Tampa.
But I have seen Kevin Costner and Modern West perform 2 times, and I like the way he sings and his band is fantastic.
Rays Renegade
You are one busy guy, renegade. Sounds like a fun event, but I'm sure the party you're going to will be fun too. Talk about a full dance card!
The funny thing about this area is that we have a lot of former players living here. Not just ex-Bucs players, but Jerome Bettis grew up here, and Deion Sanders makes one of his home down in Fort Meyers.
I actually have 5 events this week, plus a 1 hour signing at the NFL Experience on Thursday night before I head on over to a friend's charity event in Ybor City at Rein nightclub. I usually have a few options come Superbowl time.
Tampa only gets a Superbowl every 7or so years, so I have to make it work for me. When I was with Pepsi, I could get ticket from the New York home office, now I get them from friends in the beverage community.

Sarah Dehandschutter-Sa.de01 Lamp
At Design Interviews
Interview with Sarah Dehandschutter : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Sarah Dehandschutter : My work has been evolving in this direction for a while. I used this technique of streching cloth over bars to make cilindrical pendants for my chandeliers. Doing this I got intrigued by the possibility of creating volumes with cloth streched over one single curved bar. All my recent designs are based on this principle, it gives a sence of simplicity and infinety at the same time. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Sarah Dehandschutter : to start with I am mainly focused on the esthetical value of the form, but the light it gives is as important. In this lamp the lightbulb illuminates the inner surface of the lamp and the space beneath it. It creates islands of light. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Sarah Dehandschutter : It is already produced on a small scale, so it is for sale like it is, but I would be happy to cooperate with other companies and see what is possible. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Sarah Dehandschutter : I have been working on this and similar lamps for years. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Sarah Dehandschutter : It is part of my own collection. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Sarah Dehandschutter : Koziol is working on a model inspired on this one, I am looking for possibilities of cooperation but will also keep producing own work. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Sarah Dehandschutter : I had an idea and tried it out. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Sarah Dehandschutter : One is inspired by the whole world around, but not one particular design or designer. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Sarah Dehandschutter : everybody .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Sarah Dehandschutter : The organic way it came into being. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Sarah Dehandschutter : Sa.De are my initials. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Sarah Dehandschutter : Cloth an metal rods. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Sarah Dehandschutter : The cloth is streched over metal bars to its extremes, this natural tension gives the most perfect curves possible, it is as if nature itself would have created them. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Sarah Dehandschutter : I worked with a company (Vari bvba) producing the double mould to reproduce the lamp semi-industrially .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Sarah Dehandschutter : Since I wanted to restrict myself to natural materials it was difficult to find the right way to strech the cloth, keep it stabile etc. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Sarah Dehandschutter : I will present my work on Ventura Lambrate in Milan, and thought it was a good oppurtunity to combine it. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?. Sarah Dehandschutter : Patience and endurance. .

With the tip of a very sharp knife I simply cut an approximately 1/4-inch deep crosshatch design on the cut sides of the zucchini. (It's not as time consuming as it may seem, once you try it you'll be able to prepare many in a short time.)
I usually just season with salt & pepper, sometimes lemon pepper, and a sprinkle of herbs or grated Parmesean cheese, brush with olive or vegetable oil. Grill or broil cut side down first until you achieve the desired grill marks, or lightly browned here and there. Then turn and grill or broil to your liking, but don't over cook ~ the texture is best if they are a bit firm to the bite.
You'll find the zucchini cooks more evenly and quickly this way, and whatever seasoning you use will penetrate the zucchini, to make it more flavorful. These make a fine accompaniment to almost any grilled foods, or simply prepared chicken, fish, chops or steak.

A unique but special way that alumni can contribute to William Carey University is by donating a gift in-kind. These gifts may widely vary depending on the circumstance, but have historically ranged anywhere from construction-related items for new buildings to paintings and furnishings for offices. Significant memorabilia and other Carey spirit items would also be included as an in-kind gift.
On select occasions, in-kind gifts will be appraised for tangible value and tax-deductible purposes. Most often, though, these gifts are not assigned a value. If this is the case, the item may still be considered for tax deductible purposes, but we advise that any donor consult with their accountant on this matter as several factors play a part in the value that may be assessed for non-appraised items.
For more information on donating a gift in-kind to William Carey University, contact the Office for Advancement.

Rather cynically, the White House decided to raise the signature petition threshold from 5,000 to 25,000 signatures in 30 days. Even still, a few petitions - particularly those related to marijuana and general drug-policy reform, managed to squeak through, along with others tied to topics such as the "Fair Tax" plan and the topic of "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Taking a look at the official White House responses - released on a Friday (in other words, "trash day" in media parlance), one can tell that they simply wanted these topics to just go away. The White House takes these kinds of matters no more seriously than a local Congressional representative takes unsolicited letters from individuals: a boilerplate response that simply says, "Thanks, but we still disagree. Now please go away." Pretty clear and convincing evidence what kind of Potemkin Village propaganda fronts initiatives like these are - and a distraction from real advocacy efforts.
Contrast this with actions such as that organized by Meredith Angwin in support of the beleaguered Vermont Yankee nuclear facility. In addition to her blog, "Yes Vermont Yankee," she recently organized a pro-VY rally as a counter to some of the recent anti-VY rallies going on. Originally she expected a turnout of about 25 - and through the power of social media, managed to get over double that (60 total).
This is what effective advocacy looks like. Going out and talking to people - family, friends, and neighbors. Directly engaging with peoples' concerns, many of which are legitimate at their root (in the sense that health, safety, and economics are all legitimate concerns). And they're concerns we have answers for - especially those of us who are educated nuclear professionals.
Some of the most effective actions we can take are simply to educate people - not even evangelizing, but reaching out to organizations like schools, scouting groups, and so on. (Some of the most enjoyable teaching moments I've had so far involve teaching basic nuclear concepts to scouting groups.) One of the chief motivators behind the fear of nuclear energy and radiation is the fact that these issues are poorly understood - the more ordinary mundane they become, the less opportunity there is for the professional scaremongering class to stir up boogeymen.
It isn't always easy - people will often get intimidated when I tell them I'm a nuclear engineer. But the most common way I've found to deflect that and put people at ease is this - I tell them, "Really, it's just a very sophisticated way of boiling water to make electricity." And, bland as that sounds, that really is the root of nuclear energy - controlled nuclear fission which produces heat, which in turn boils steam and turns turbines. That's it.
Getting people to understand this, and the fact that radiation is all around them in nature, are key to allowing the public to make informed decisions on energy, rather than being emotionally manipulated by ignorance and hype.
Online petitions run for the cynical political benefit of their sponsors just won't do this. At best, they are simply used at the discretion of their political puppetmasters, and at worst fruitless efforts like these rob advocates of time better spent on more effective education and outreach efforts.
11/8/2011: To clarify a bit, following a conversation with the creator of the LFTR petition - I'm against petitions as a means of impacting governmental policy (which is next to useless). Petitions as a medium for education - which I still think is relatively limited by the medium itself - is still fundamentally the right idea, in that the goal is to begin a conversation. (Unfortunately, the LFTR petition recently expired, per the 30-day rule of the White House petition system, or I'd have otherwise provided a link.)

Government Spying
As the media focuses almost exclusively on Edward Snowden's possible whereabouts, more details have emerged on the Obama administration's unprecedented assault on whistleblowers. New investigations have shown the administration's crackdown extends far beyond Snowden and has unleashed its 'fast and furious' spy programs on the vast majority of government agencies and departments — with little or no connection to national security. A program called "Insider Threat" forces government employees to spy on their colleagues and report suspicious activity. They are also mandated to view an online video, "Treason 101" to enhance intimidation. This has created an extremely toxic work environment and opens the possibility of enormous abuse and spurious investigations. This is starkly reminiscent of totalitarian governments who wage war on dissent and command implicit obedience.
Unfortunately the mainstream media has been trashing the messenger, Snowden, rather than examining the dirty linen that he has exposed. Snowden is the seventh person to be charged under the 100-year-old Espionage Act by the current administration, doubling all prior presidents.
An iron curtain has descended on investigative reporting following the seizure of phone records of the Associated Press and the emails of Fox News's James Rosen. This has had a chilling effect on investigative reporting that relies on the free flow of information. Sadly, the US government has had a long history of misleading the American people that has had disastrous consequences (see Jeremy Scahill best-selling book, "Dirty Wars", the hidden truth behind America's covert wars).

Police: Man sold foreclosed home
Ricardo Ribas suspected of selling foreclosed home to family
MIAMI – Police arrested a man suspected of selling a foreclosed home to a family for $25,115.88.
Ricardo Ribas, 52, is charged with grand theft.
According to police, Ribas acted as a realtor and bought several properties at an action. In Jan. 2011, he sold one to a family for $25,115.88.
In May, Ribas told the family they could move in to the home although the closing was still pending title issues, say police. About three months later, the family learned the bank owned the home and they moved out after spending an additional $20,000 upgrading the home.
Police ask any other victims of Ribas' alleged scheme to call them at 305-994-1000.

It started with the tree.
I was turning a piece of live-dyed aspen, a tree that we had dyed blue in the spring of 2004, and left to stand through the winter. The blank was shallow, the wood dry, the colors subtle. As I hollowed out the inside, a blue rectangle appeared. I'd never seen this dye pattern show in a bowl . "I'd better stop," I thought, and decided to re-turn the outside of the bowl to match the inside, rather than losing the picture by turning through it.
The thin blue line which scribed the edge of the rectangle reminded me of an ice cube. As I sanded, the sides of the ice cube started to "melt." The knot, an eye which floated directly above the ice cube, watched.
What story was forming? I thought of Atarnajuat, the Inuit man who, driven from his home by power and greed, had to run barefoot across melting ice to save himself, and ultimately, his people. Atarnajuat, the "Fast Runner."
The aspen tree had given me a gift: I could now speak of the melting ice cap in the arctic, of the warming green house gasses that surround our earth, of the spirits of all people who are worried about our planet.
The aspen bowl was a start. It had to be cradled in the atmosphere, so I turned a big birch bowl, riddled with pith patterns and bark inclusions on the outside, smooth inside. In the middle of the bowl, I turned a pedestal to which I would eventually glue the aspen bowl. And then I gessoed the whole inside, and the rim, black.
How to create the greenhouse gasses? With my power carver and a spherical cutter, I created circles upon circles, small ones, large ones, some spaced wide apart, some close together. The carver bit through the gesso to the wood beneath, leaving light coloured dots. It took a long, long time to go all the way around inside of the bowl… When I was finished, it seemed that the "gasses" should be coloured, so I gathered red and blue and yellow india ink, and with a Q-tip, rubbed colors into the dots. Some overlapped and made green, some made the surface of the gesso shine like an oil slick. Many of the circles would eventually be hidden by the "ice cube" bowl, but they were there…
Outer Space. The spirits of the people. The Rim.
Years ago, while teaching in Alaska, I spent time with Boyd Didrickson, a Tlingit ivory carver. I told him how I loved the Inuit faces that are used to make small sculptures by the carvers in the north, and he said, "why don't you make some?" He sat me down with a foredom and some fossil ivory rounds. "Go ahead" he said, and left me on my own. Feeling a bit intimidated, but knowing I had to produce something, I started carving eyebrows and noses and mouths. It was fascinating, watching the little faces pop out of the ivory, seeing their expressions, seeing them laugh, cry, tease…
I knew the faces would ride on the rim of the world, ride in space where minerals and gasses dominate. I had turned a rim wide enough for the faces to sit comfortably, but something had to be done about the smooth black gesso. With my woodburner and a curved brand, I started burning little patterns in the gesso. It took much longer to burn patterns all the way around the rim than it did to do green house gasses. And when I was finished, I took a brand of another shape, and went around again. And then, another brand, yet again. Shapes piled upon shapes, creating a surface of random pittings. To clean the surface, I scrubbed it vigorously with a brass brush. The brush not only cleaned, it shined, and in places left brass residue which shone with a strange golden glint. When I was finished, I carved shallow shapes to match each face and glued them in place. Choosing hematite, or "Alaskan black diamond," I placed stones between the faces, a tribute to the realm from which everything comes.
There is a poem on the bottom of the bowl, a haiku entitled "Auliqtuq" which, in Inuktitut, means "it's melting."
"Gasses blanket the earth
The ice cap melts
Will the Fast Runner survive?"

Cheryl was born in Hawaii in 1944. She initially pursued a career in science, with an interest in fibre art and weaving. After marriage, children and a move to Seattle, she was attempting to solve a particular weaving problem when she attended a lecture given by Bill Holm at the Burke Museum in Seattle. There she saw the answer to her problem in a Northwest Coast Chilkat robe. She has been largely responsible for the revitalization of Ravenstail and Chilkat weaving by mastering lost techniques, teaching extensively, recreating and expanding the language of weaving, travelling internationally to study and document all historical robes (including fragments).

SUNY Canton Career Services Director Receives NYSCDA AwardTuesday, June 3rd, 2014
The New York State Career Development Association (NYSCDA) chose SUNY Canton's director of career services as the recipient of the 2014 Outstanding Career Practitioner Award.
The award was presented to David F. Norenberg at the NYSCDA conference May 30 in Buffalo.
The annual honor recognizes professionals, such as counselors, consultants and teachers, for outstanding work in the career services field.
Norenberg has served as career services director since 2005. His duties include advising students in career and educational paths, and conducting workshops and career fairs to simplify the job search process and assist students in achieving their career goals.
During his tenure, he developed a website that offers online resume assistance programs, links for career exploration and videos that highlight different occupations. He also works with active duty service members at Ft. Drum who are transitioning into the civilian workforce.
"David has transformed the SUNY Canton Career Services Office into a modern center of information and guidance for students," said SUNY Canton Assistant Director of Career Services Julie A. Parkman. "His extraordinary gifts as a presenter and a coach have guided hundreds of students into finding fulfilling careers."
"Being selected to receive this award is such an honor," Norenberg said. "I have worked hard to find new and creative ways to help and inspire the students at SUNY Canton," "In many ways it is because of them that I received this award."
Norenberg received a bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 1993 and earned his Master's of Science in Education in Counseling in 1996. He worked for United Way in Schenectady from 1997-2001 before relocating to the North Country to begin his work as interim assistant director of career services at St. Lawrence University. Norenberg also worked in St. Lawrence's University Communications office as the digital asset and on-line data manager from 2002 through October 2005 before joining SUNY Canton. In 2010 SUNY Canton's College Council awarded him with the prestigious Excellence in College Service Award.
