Additional Information
|What is the PowerBOX?
|The ACD PowerBOX is designed to SAFELY retune your vehicle's air/fuel ratio for more power and more gas mileage. After installation, your vehicle will run at an "optimized" air/fuel ratio, allowing it to run smoother and more efficiently. Our chips also increase your vehicle's torque throughout the entire RPM range. We guarantee our products to increase your fuel mileage and power output or your money back. Our chips have been time tested by tens of thousands of customers around the world, and have proven to be the ultimate solution in aftermarket tuning performance. The PowerBOX can be seen around the world, used in thousands of cars, totaling millions of miles. Real Performance – PowerBOX.
|How easy is installation?
|By select your Year and Engine Size, we're able to provide factory specific installation manuals for your specific vehicle application. The PowerBOX is perhaps one of the easiest performance products to install on your vehicle. In a matter of minutes you can successfully install our product. The PowerBOX installs to an engine data sensor, located in your engine bay. It's easily accessible simply by "popping your hood". All of our products come with custom build instructions for your vehicle (using manufacturer), world-class support by our trained technicians, and all parts necessary to install. After installation our module will retune your vehicles air/fuel ratio automatically – it's really that simple!
|Is your product compatible with aftermarket parts?
|Absolutely! In fact, our module works even better with upgraded intake and exhaust systems. Because our chip works in conjunction with your vehicle's air/fuel sensor, it's 100% compatible with most aftermarket performance products. Vehicles equipped with aftermarket high-flow intake systems and high-flow exhaust systems can expect gains of 35-55hp using our performance chip. If your product has an aftermarket turbo, supercharger, or nitrous, we DO NOT recommend installing our performance product. Even though it may be compatible, advanced modifications such as forced induction are extremely sensitive air/fuel tunes. Furthermore, if your vehicle is equipped with an OEM turbo or supercharger our module is 100% safe and effective.
|Is my vehicle's warranty effected? Is it safe for my engine?
Our chips are 100% safe and effective on all the engines we sell for. We have never seen a customer's engine damage as a result of our chip. There are currently tens of thousands of PowerBOXs around the world with millions of miles and not a single claim of damage. It's safe, plain and simple.
Warranty Information
Our module will never void your factory warranty - period. Our module does not write permanent software to your vehicle, it simples alters the air/fuel trim "on-the-fly" while your vehicle is on. As soon as our module is removed, your vehicle goes back to OEM specifications. Additionally, there is a federal consumer protection law the "Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act " that allows you, the consumer, to install aftermarket parts without the worry of voiding your warranty. It is, however, recommended that you remove ANY aftermarket parts prior to service if you're under warranty. This is a common practice done by many enthusiasts to ensure "no drama" at the dealership.
Our Acura CL PowerBOX Performance Module Performance Chip utilizes the latest in performance technologiy. PowerBOX Chips send a unique modified signal through an engine data sensor. This signal causes your factory Engine Control Module to reprogram itself for a more efficient air/fuel ratio and timing curve. By doing so, we're able to safely unlock up to +30 Horsepower and up to +8 MPG in your vehicle!
Our modules never bypass, deactive, or exceed factory limitations. That being said, this is perhaps one of the safest upgrades you can do to your vehicle!

Instantly add up to 30HP/TQ and up to 30% extra miles per gallon. The ACD PowerBOX Performance Module is our latest and greatest, easy to install, performance chip.
The ACD Performance Module sends a modified signal through an engine data sensor, causing your factory Engine Control Module to reprogram itself for a more efficient air/fuel ratio and timing curve, essentially unlocking up to +30 Horsepower and up to +8 MPG in your vehicle!
Real Customers using ACD daily on their cars:
With thousands of ACD Performance Modules sold, and used daily, there is a reason why it's a fact that most consumers choose to purchase from us: Our products have been time tested over several years and proven by thousands of customers - the results simply speak for themselves!
Our Satisfaction Guarantee:
We proudly stand behind all of our products with our 100% Money-Back Guarantee and we're so confident that you'll love our ACD Performance Module that if you're not happy with our product for ANY reason at all, just send it back, and we will send you a full refund this is a true risk-free purchase - there is absolutely no catch!
Forget the competition:
Surely you have heard of several "big name" power programmers costing several hundred dollars, but did you know that you can essentially get the same effects without the $300.00 price tag?
The way that a "big name" power programmer works is by adjusting and rewriting your factory Engine Control Module directly - the main downside of this method (besides the extremely expensive price tag!) is that it has to completely rewrite your factory Engine Control Module, which is the brain of your vehicle! Since these type of power programmers rewrite the entire Engine Control Module, you will always carry the considerable risk that the Engine Control Module will become corrupt if there are any power interruptions or errors while the power programmer is downloading its new tune! If this happens, your vehicle would not start and require a tow to have the Engine Control Module 'reflashed' (rewritten with the factory tune).
The second downside of a "big name" power programmer is that since it's completely rewriting your factory Engine Control Module directly, it will leave several footprints and traces behind in the memory. Did you know that many dealerships check for these footprints during normal servicing, and could VOID your factory warranty since the factory Engine Control Module is being directly rewritten?
ACD is the SAFEST way to gain real power:
On the flip side, the ACD Performance Modules carry absolutely NONE of those risks since our products do not directly access or rewrite your factory Engine Control Module! The true advantage of our products is how they operate, in the sense of both safety and efficiency. When our product sends a modified signal through an engine data sensor, your factory Engine Control Module intercepts this and reprograms itself for a more efficient air/fuel ratio and timing curve, essentially unlocking up to +30 Horsepower and up to +3-8 MPG in your vehicle! Since our product is merely causing your factory Engine Control Module to reprogram itself, our products are truly one of the safest Performance Modules that you can install!
In addition, if you ever wish to go back to your factory settings, then you can simply uninstall the ACD Performance Module and your factory Engine Control Module will then instantly reprogram itself back into the factory specifications. Since our product does not need to access your factory Engine Control Module directly, it will leave absolutely NO permanent effects, footprints or traces behind in the memory for your dealership to detect!
With thousands of ACD Performance Modules sold, now's the time to experience it yourself and unleash the hidden horsepower and fuel mileage in your vehicle today! Since your purchase will be proudly backed by our 100% Money-Back Guarantee, why wait? Simple to buy - simple to install - start saving money tomorrow!
ACD Modules pay you back every time you hit the pump!
Does this module really save me money? How does it "Pay Me Back?"
You may not think that you would save much if you gained "only" up to 2-5 MPG.
See the chart below to estimate your savings!
Wow! That's a LOT of money that can be saved by a $69.95 Performance Module!
Now, let's look at what we'd save over a 5 Year Period:
The possibilities are endless! If you drive just 15,000 miles per year, currently get
12 MPG and pay $5.00 per gallon, you could potentially save $9,190.00 over a
5 Year Period if you gained just 5 MPG!

Back to Basics with Beam
As a high fallutin' whiskey aficionado, I don't spend a lot of time drinking Jim Beam. I prefer me a single barrel, cask strength, limited edition non-filtered, get out your credit card type bourbon. In fact, if I'm drinking Beam, it most likely means I'm in an airport, on an airplane or staring down a six bottle bar at a wedding, convention, bar mitzvah, etc.
But my picky tastes aside, Jim Beam is the world's best selling bourbon (assuming you pretend that Jack Daniel's isn't a bourbon, as everyone seems happy enough to do). And what right do I have to call myself a whiskey blogger if I've never written up the standard Jim Beam line. Not much I tell you. Luckily, a Beam miniature bottle sampler is available for a mere $7.99 which includes Beam white, Beam Black, Beam Rye, and perhaps because misery loves company, Red Stag.
Jim Bean White Label, 40% abv ($15)
This has a light nose with candy, medicinal notes and some rye notes. The palate comes on sweet with some medicinal/rye type notes and ends with a bitterness that carries into the finish. It's not good, but it's certainly not horrible.
Jim Beam Black Label, 8 years old, 43% abv ($20)
The nose on this has some of the same candy notes as the White Label but with a dose of oak that gives it a bit more complexity. The palate is quite acidic without much flavor, then some chocolate malt notes, and then the bitterness kicks in. I actually think I like the White Label better than this. The main flavors in this are acid and bitterness and they don't play well together.
Jim Beam Rye ("Yellow Label"), 40% abv ($20)
The nose has rye but more medicinal than spicy. The palate is sweet with canned fruit and just a touch of spice. The spice is a bit more evident in the finish, but not by much. Tasting blind, I doubt I would have ever guessed this was a rye given out light it is on rye spice. This has been my general experience with Beam ryes, so I did a head to head with some Old Overholt, another Beam rye. The Yellow Label actually has a bit more rye spice than the Overholt, while the Overholt seems to have a bit more oak on it and lacks some of the rough edges that the Yellow Label has.
So there it is, the standard Jim Beam line. If I had to choose between these three Beams, I would definitely choose the rye, which has a bit more character. Honestly, these were not as bad as I expected, though I'll still reserve my Beam consumption to the wedding bar.
Later this week, I descend even further into the bottom shelf!

SO how was the red stag, or do you drink stags with two g's ?

Perhaps my palate is not as refined, or perhaps I'm just so glad to be left in peace for a few minutes to drink bourbon, but those times in airports and parties I end up drinking Beam white and black I've always been surprised at how enjoyable I find it. It's not epicurean. It does have that musty Beam flavor at the back end. But I find over and over that bottom shelf bourbon beats the pants off bottom shelf Scotch or Irish or Canadian - let alone other spirits such ad cheap tequila or rum.

Steffen, I reviewed Red Stag here. It's...sweet.
Aaron, absolutely. Beam, Jack Daniel's, Glenfiddich and Glenlivet and some of the blends are things I only drink in those contexts and they can be great there. Context matters, which is why I do all my tastings from the same exact place. These bourbons aren't meant for academic study, they are meant to be enjoyed in exactly the way you describe.

Hmmm. I always enjoyed Black a lot more than White, but it has been a while.
I appreciate your visising whiskeys that don't get a lot of review attention in the blogs. Maybe time to talk Turkey, too?

Sam, I always thought I liked Black better as well, but this is the first time I did them head to head.
Oh, and if you think those don't get a lot of review attention in the blogs...stay tuned.

Editor, the Record:
Editor, the Record:
I write in support of my friends and neighbors in Pike County whose lives and lands will be disrupted by the planned Tennessee Gas "Loop."
In this instance, reverting to the original plan to use the National Park Service right of way is the lesser of two evils from an environmental impact standpoint. That plan is the best course for Pike County.
Now is the time for strong, bipartisan leadership on this issue. It is hard for many of us to believe it would take an Act of Congress to return the pipeline to its originally planned right of way, but that may now be the case.
Congressman Tom Marino represents all of Pike County and needs to take bold and swift action now in Washington to stand up for the people of his district.
As one of his constituents, I want to know why he isn't here personally to support the Cummins Hill property owners? Why isn't he responding personally to letters written to his office? Why does this fall to an aide? What meetings has he scheduled with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission? What meetings has he scheduled with the pipeline company? What's his position on the proposed NiSource pipeline, which, as planned, will bisect all of Pike County?
I call on my friends and neighbors in Pike, regardless of affiliation, to demand that Congressman Marino engage locally and in Washington, D.C., with the peoples' interest in mind and ahead of the gas company's.

Marc-Andre Fleury's 2014 Nissan GT-R: For Sale on AutoTrader.com
If you're searching for a 2014 Nissan GT-R, you're already in the market for a special car. But drivers who want an even more exceptional vehicle should check out this 2014 GT-R, which was formerly owned by Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
According to David, a salesman at Cochran Nissan near Pittsburgh, Pa., Fleury bought this GT-R new earlier this year. The hockey star only had it a few months before he traded it in for the same reason many drivers sell their sports cars: a growing family.
"He had a baby just after he bought it," said David, who confirmed the car has just over 2,400 miles on the odometer. "He wasn't driving it much, so he traded it in."
But Fleury didn't exactly swap it out for a minivan, as the NHL goaltender has other high-end luxury cars that offer more space than the GT-R. Still, he did say goodbye to the high-performance Nissan after just three months, during which time he took good care of the 545-horsepower twin-turbocharged sports car.
"The car is in perfect shape," noted David. "You'd never know it was a used car. [Fleury] didn't even add an exhaust."
Fleury's decision not to customize the black GT-R is indeed surprising, because many of the high-performance coupes are highly modified. That owes to the car's narrow appeal, primarily to sports-car enthusiasts and people who enjoy a thrill.
Fleury is certainly in the latter group. The professional goalie has played for the Penguins since his NHL debut in 2003, appearing in more than 450 games and recording a 91-percent save percentage. He was also a member of the 2009 Penguins, which won the Stanley Cup.
For those interested in a 2014 Nissan GT-R with a well-known previous owner, Fleury's car is available at Cochran Nissan for $89,900.

Forty years ago, within an hour past midnight on Jan. 1, Danny Hogan entered the world as the first baby of Kansas City's new year.
Forty years ago, within an hour past midnight on Jan. 1, Danny Hogan entered the world as the first baby of Kansas City's new year.
"I just hope he doesn't see hard times," his mother told The Star's reporter and photographer who came to their bedside.
In the first evening paper of 1974, the baby lifting his eyes to see the faces of his parents gave no clue to what was in store for his life.
"A future quarterback?" his father, Tom Hogan, wondered aloud.
They couldn't know that Danny would be autistic, The Kansas City Star reported (http://bit.ly/19vlFm7 ).
This was the 1970s. Autism — a spectrum of disorders with a range of effects on brain development — was poorly understood and rarely diagnosed.
Many child development specialists still blamed what had been labeled "refrigerator mothers" or "refrigerator parents" for failing to nurture the emotional and verbal skills missing in many autistic children.
Awareness of the disorder's true genetic and neurological causes was only beginning to emerge.
So Tom Hogan was peering into a barren world on the day, when Danny was 2, that Tom realized something was wrong.
He was babysitting a child near the same age as Danny, and he saw a vast difference in their abilities to communicate and interact.
He didn't understand it and he didn't know where he could turn for help.
They walked alone out in the woods a couple of days later, Tom Hogan said. And he determined then that he would accept whatever life was preparing to deal them.
"I told him, 'I'm always going to be there for you.' "
Less than two weeks before Danny Hogan's 40th birthday, Tom Hogan took him to the Special Olympics Christmas dance at the Roeland Park, Kan., Community Center.
He was looking sharp: blue button-down shirt, suspenders, khaki slacks, shiny shoes.
When one of the program coaches swung him out onto the dance floor, Danny went with her, circling hand in hand. But left to his own, he preferred to wander the perimeter, examining the grills on air ducts or the lights on the tabletop Christmas tree.
"I used to wonder, 'Is he missing things?' " Tom Hogan said.
Tom Hogan and Danny's mother, Jacqueline Hogan, divorced when their son was a toddler. They shared custody through most of his boyhood years, and Tom became Danny's sole guardian beginning in his high school years.
Tom and his second wife, Jennifer, had a daughter, Lindsey, when Danny was 14.
Through the years, Danny saw Lindsey grow up, play with friends, get a driver's license, have boyfriends, go to college, get married.
But if he envied her or felt cheated, he never showed it, Tom said.
Danny works at Johnson County Developmental Supports in Kansas, where he earns a small paycheck doing tasks for area businesses.
He enjoys the family's weekly night out to dinner. And he and Tom for years have been going to most every Kansas State University home football game.
Just what Danny Hogan thinks about his milestone birthday is mostly a mystery.
He acknowledges it with the sparest of words and expressions, leaving his thoughts up for interpretation, like the artwork he has created over the years.
One painting is framed on the wall by the Hogans' kitchen table. Its dense swirl of thick-stroked lines casts pearls of purple, blue and red in a blue-green sea.
"He seems content," Tom said. "He's comfortable with his life."
Tom has watched the world's awareness and understanding of autism grow over the four decades.
In the 1970s and into the 1980s, roughly one in 2,000 children was diagnosed with autism.
It was during that time, Tom Hogan recalled, that he took Danny horseback riding, and when he told a woman helping them that Danny was autistic, she replied, "So he draws really well?"
The number began to grow, and it exploded in the 1990s and 2000s, to the point that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now estimates that one in 88 children is diagnosed with autism — and one in 54 boys.
The rapid growth alarmed the research community, which is still struggling to determine how much of it is the result of greater awareness and how much is the result of underlying causes.
Tom Hogan and Danny's sister, Lindsey Minnick, have had a close view of society's evolving understanding of autism.
Counselors and therapists are growing more precise in attending to the needs of each autistic child and adult. They are making more efforts to mix children with disabilities into general education classrooms and activities.
As a parent and as a board member on many of the service organizations that have helped Danny, Tom has watched times change.
Lindsey took her experience growing up with Danny and turned it into a career as an instructor at Firefly Autism, a school in Denver.
"He made my life what it is," she said.
In her high school years at Shawnee Mission North in Overland Park, Kan., Lindsey said, she avoided a lot of the typical adolescent angst because she could see how Danny had few worries and enjoyed the simple things that he held or watched.
Instead of worrying much about popularity or how she looked, Lindsey said, she volunteered to help special education students.
For Tom Hogan, it has been a fulfilling 40 years.
"People talk to me sometimes like it's been this burden," Tom said. "But it's not like that at all. He's my companion. He's my friend."
Meanwhile, Danny Hogan keeps developing communication skills, working regularly with a therapist to recognize and acknowledge other people's emotions and expressions — and share his own.
"Here's my proud face," the therapist, Jaresa Ross-Bey, said in the Hogans' living room. She held her head high, beaming a smile, her hands on her hips. "Let's see yours!"
Danny twisted his face into a gritty smile.
"Do you remember the last time you felt that way?" she asked.
"When I was in a good mood," he said. "I was proud."

The University of Arizona has reversed course and permitted the College Republicans to screen the film Not Evil, Just Wrong as originally scheduled, just days after telling the group that its reservation was being cancelled due to a scheduling mistake. The "mix-up" was discovered only 11 days before the event, making it difficult to reschedule. After a joint investigation by FIRE and a UA College Republicans (UACR) leader showed that the scheduling conflict might not have been a mistake, the screening was placed back on the schedule for October 18.

Retail Clinics
The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) believes that patient-centered primary care delivered through the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is foundational to a health care system that improves the quality and efficiency of care. The AAFP continues to monitor market-based developments in health care delivery that are evolving to meet the expanding needs of patients for timely, convenient, transparent, and consumer-centric health care.
The AAFP continues to engage and respond to the ongoing development of retail clinics in America. While retail clinics may provide a limited scope of health care services for patients, this can ultimately lead to fragmentation of the patient's health care unless it is coordinated with the patient's primary care physician's office.
Furthermore, retail clinics are not the only source of convenient care available for patients today. The overwhelming majority of family physicians offer same-day scheduling in their practice and roughly half of all family physicians have extended office hours for patients to seek care.
This easy access, combined with the adoption of the principles of patient-centered care, allow family physicians to provide care that is highly convenient while avoiding overall fragmentation of care.
The AAFP opposes the expansion of the scope of services of retail clinics beyond minor acute illnesses and, in particular, opposes the management of chronic medical conditions in this setting. Protocol-based decision and diagnostic models are used in most non-physician led retail clinics, resulting in a missed opportunity to address more complex patient needs. These missed opportunities range from preventive care services to critically important diagnoses which may not be specifically covered in the pre-generated protocol decision program. The AAFP is committed to the development of a health care system based on strong, team-based patient-centered primary care – defined as first contact, comprehensive, coordinated, and continuing care for all persons.
Care delivered in retail clinics can be a component of patient-centered care, but must work in coordination with the patients' primary care physician to ensure that care is not further fragmented. Fragmentation and unaccountable silos of care are in direct opposition to achieving continuous whole-person care with improved health outcomes for both the individual and society. While the AAFP recognizes the demand for the advancement of patient centered-ness in the American health care delivery system, it should not be at the expense of comprehensive coordinated longitudinal care.

In 1980 Urasenke Chanoyu Center purchased the building with a partner. Prior to that it was the studio of Mark Rothko where he worked and died. The interior of the building was rehabilitated by traditional carpenters from Kyoto, Japan. The centerpiece of the construction includes four tea rooms of various sizes surrounding a garden. All the materials for the construction were imported from Japan. Prior to 1980 the Center was located at 860 UN Plaza. The mission of the Center is "Peacefulness through a bowl of tea."
The Urasenke Tradition of Tea
Urasenke Konnichian of Kyoto, Japan has nurtured the rich cultural tradition of chanoyu since the early seventeenth century. Zabosai Iemoto, sixteenth generation Grand Tea Master of Urasenke, continues the tradition of his father, now retired as Hounsai Genshitsu, Former Grand Tea Master, in fostering international goodwill through cultural exchange. Over the last fifty years branches have been established in twenty-one cities worldwide. Urasenke has become the largest tradition of Chado both in Japan and around the world. On December 22, 2002, Zabosai SEN Soshitsu XVI succeeded as the sixteenth-generation grand master in the Urasenke line descending directly from SEN Rikyu extending the practice of his forefathers.
Membership: Urasenke Tea Ceremony Society
Urasenke Tea Ceremony Society is the non-profit, support organization of the Urasenke Chanoyu Center. Anyone wishing to promote the understanding of chanoyu can become a member. Contributions are tax deductible as permitted by law. Members are entitled to attend tea classes and tea events upon availability, as well as, use the Center library.
Sympathy Message from the Urasenke Grand Master
Concerning the Great Tohoku Earthquake
"We express our sincere sympathy to all the victims of the immense earthquake that recently struck Tohoku and the surrounding region. We pray for the early reconstruction and rehabilitation of your lives and communities."

CIU Announces Winner of Full-Tuition Scholarship
The winner of the 2013 R.C. McQuilkin Leadership Scholarship from Columbia International University is a leader at his church, high school and in his community. Andrew Hampshire of Orlando, Fla. receives the full-tuition scholarship from CIU following a weekend of competition on the CIU campus, Nov. 14-16.
The Ninth Annual R.C McQuilkin Scholarship Weekend included 47 high school seniors representing 11 states, with one student travelling from the country of Hungary. The weekend featured intense interviews, interactive group activities, panel discussions and just plain fun.
Andrew learned that he was the winner of the scholarship on the Monday following the competition when he received a congratulatory phone call from CIU president Dr. Bill Jones.
"I was very surprised," Andrew said. "I guess I was kind of shocked."
Andrew was very familiar with CIU long before the competition. His father and mother, John and Cindy Hampshire, graduated from CIU in the 1980s and his sister Kristy in 2012. Andrew was born and lived the first 10 years of his life in Nairobi, Kenya where his parents served as Wycliffe Bible Translators, influencing his decision to major in Intercultural Studies at CIU so he can also be prepared for missionary work after graduation.
"I've always loved mission trips, and I love meeting new people," Andrew said. "It just seems like that is where God is leading me."
Andrew's love for God and for people led him into a busy life of outreach during his high school years. He has served at his public high school as the leader of the on-campus chapter of CRU (the former Campus Crusade for Christ), in a variety of settings in his community, and most importantly to Andrew, at his church. There he says he "hangs out" with middle school-age youth and spends time with them "having conversations about God and where they are spiritually."
The R.C. McQuilkin Leadership Scholarship is named after CIU's first president R.C. McQuilkin who believed in strong Christian character and academic excellence.

Get In Get Out and Get Away. This may sound strange but not for your uncles, brothers, fathers or grandads. They knew from an early age that one day they would be called up to do their two years National Service. I served my two years National Service in the Kings Own Royal Border Regiment. Get in Get Out and Get Away is my true National Service memoirs, from a rag tag outfit to smart soldiers that went to the Cameroons, to keep the peace and oversee a vote on the countrys future. The memoirs include numerous encounters with the terrorist intent on disrupting the process and an eventful raid on a terrorist camp. It is mixed with amusing anecdotes of growing up in post War Britain through the swinging sixties. I was given an eye opener in life then and I am sure when you read my detailed account, you will agree, and also see the parallels to the modern day operations undertaken by the American, British and United Nations military. It is all history now but it has been a privilege on behalf of my fellow countrymen to put it all down on paper. We all had one thing in common, that was to Get In Get Out and Get Away.

'Season of Saturdays' offers personal, profound look at college football
'Season of Saturdays' offers personal, profound look at college football
From a description of his first visit to Beaver Stadium, a moment shared by generations of Penn Staters in slightly different variations, to his chronological march through the history of college football using 14 seminal games as the starting point for an examination of what the sport means and where it fits, an award-winning Penn State alumnus delivers and engaging and entertaining read with his latest book.
With "Season of Saturdays," Michael Weinreb examines how college football has changed through the years -- and how it has not. He reveals how it has been shaped or reflected U.S. popular culture and society through the years -- and how it has not.
From start to finish, it's both a highly personal book and one that offers perspective on a game enjoyed and shared by millions of people.
Weinreb sets that tone on the fifth page of the 272-page book when he writes: "No other nation in the world can even fathom the notion of attaching a prominent moneymaking athletic operation to a university; the fact that college football has existed for nearly 150 years, and the fact that it remains one of the most popular sports in America, must say something about who we are."
"Season of Saturdays" (2014, Scribner), released in mid-August, captures college football because of Weinreb's obvious passion. It's a book about history, politics, popular culture and more -- all viewed through the appropriate lens of college football.
Weinreb, who earned his journalism degree from the University in 1994, will be on campus to discuss his book and meet with sports writing classes later this fall. A free public session coordinated by the John Curley Center for Sports Journalism will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30, in Foster Auditorium of Paterno Library. Related book signings and events in the community will be announced closer to the date.
"This might be the most fun I've ever had writing a book, I have an institutional knowledge, and grew up with it," said Weinreb, who first attended a college football game in 1978 at Beaver Stadium. "This is a book about college football, but it's also a book about America and where college football fits because it's such an inherently political sport. There's just so much depth, from its regional and historical context to racial issues and changes in society. There's a lot to try to capture."
Weinreb captures it well. His family moved to State College when he was 5, and he attended State College Area School District and Penn State. His father, Steven, is the Russell and Mildred Marker Professor of Natural Products Chemistry, and Weinreb's experiences in Happy Valley, from Park Forest Elementary School to Penn State, shape every chapter of the book.
His complete and consistent reporting make the book much more than one person's opinion about college football.
"Michael Weinreb journeys through the black and white college football world of the nostalgia junkie and the cynical critic and finds both of them wrong: college football, like America, is a culture of troubling, electrifying gray. This is our story," said Wright Thompson, a senior writer for ESPN.
Weinreb, writes about college football for numerous outlets. He has been a contributing writer for GQ, The New York Times, ESPN and Grantland. He has been featured on public radio's "This American Life" and ESPN's "30 for 30," and has appeared on CNN, ESPN, ESPN Radio and WNYC.
He is also the author of "The Kings of New York" (paperback title: "Game of Kings"), which won the Quill Award as the Best Sports Book of 2007, was named one of the best books of the year by Publishers Weekly, Amazon.com and The Christian Science Monitor, and was a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice; "Bigger Than the Game: Bo, Boz, the Punky QB, And How the '80s Created the Modern Athlete"; and "Girl Boy Etc.," a short-story collection. He has been a regular contributor to a number of newspapers and magazines. He lives in San Francisco.

Why We Try
An Internet connection has only now materialized in my new Houston pad, so perhaps you'll forgive me if I kvetch about last week's David Brooks column. In the wake of the "you didn't build that" controversy, Brooks applies himself to the following question: "How much of my success is me, and how much of my success comes from forces outside of me?"
It's Brooks' view that the question "has no definitive answer," as a matter of fact, but that there is "a practical and a moral answer":
You should regard yourself as the sole author of all your future achievements and as the grateful beneficiary of all your past successes.
He then refines this idea, arguing that one ought to take less and less credit for one's success (and failure?) as one advances through the stations of life. One is to start out in one's 20s as "an Ayn Randian Superman who is the architect of the wonder that is you," proceed to "thinking like a political scientist" in one's 30s and 40s with a "lower estimation of your own power and a greater estimation of the power of the institutions you happen to be in," then in one's 50s and 60s advance to an "understanding that relationships are more powerful than individuals" ("like a sociologist"), and then, finally, in one's golden years, "[y]ou'll be struck by the astonishing importance of luck," as ancient historians allegedly are.
This is characteristically confused and confusing. Brooks' initial "practical and moral answer" is not his actual answer. His actual answer is: "It depends on how old you are." Then, as he expounds his idiosyncratic theory of the individual's evolving conception of the locus of responsibility over the life-cycle, Brooks skips sloppily from prescriptive to descriptive language. He is, remember, proposing "a practical and moral answer" to the question of how much responsibility for success (and failure?) one should assign to oneself. Yet he writes as though 60 year-olds typically do come to think like sociologists, which is obviously false, when he means that they practically or morally ought to come to think like sociologists.
But why should they? Why should I, pushing 40, think like a political scientist? Why shouldn't I think like an ancient historian now, today.
In his penultimate paragraph, Brooks declares that "as maturity develops and the perspectives widen, the smaller the power of the individual appears, and the greater the power of those forces flowing through the individual." So, it's Brooks' view that the fully mature individual, who has achieved a panoramic perspective on life, understands that individual agency is swamped by impersonal forces. If that's not a "definitive answer" about the relative role of individual initiative in individual success, what is it? Anyway, if there's really "no definitive answer" to the factual question, how does Brooks arrive as such a definitive answer to the practical and moral question?
He concludes:
Great companies, charities and nations were built by groups of individuals who each vastly overestimated their own autonomy. As an ambitious executive, it's important that you believe that you will deserve credit for everything you achieve. As a human being, it's important for you to know that's nonsense.
So Brooks started out lying. He does think there's a definitive answer to the descriptive question: very, very little of what we accomplish is ultimately due to us. He must also think that his readers are incredibly dumb. Why not just come out and say that we can't handle the truth, and that it's important for wise people like David Brooks to lie to the rest of us so that we don't languish in poverty, subjection, and truth?
Well, I guess if you think that's true, you probably also think you shouldn't say so. But Brooks does say so, right there in the last paragraph! Well, if it's okay to say so, and pretty transparently, after talking nonsense for a while, then it's probably okay to just leave out the nonsense and say it straight. The folks who need fooling don't read the Times anyway.
The fact that Brooks is philosophically committed to mendacity aside, the truth of the matter is really not so tricky. In any endeavor, individual effort generally plays only a small role in achieving the desired result, when compared to the contribution of all other relevant causal factors. Still, the success or failure of most human endeavors depend critically upon the supply of effort, and most endeavors will fail if too little effort is supplied. In some circumstances, a realistic assessment of the effect of greater effort on the odds of success will be demoralizing, leading to less effort and even lower odds of success. But this doesn't mean that successful people need to be systematically deceived about the efficacy of volition. It means that people need to internalize norms that stigmatize, at least some of the time, the rational withholding of effort.
Of course, people aren't generally self-destructive, and this sort of thing (i.e., morality, culture) only goes so far, even if it does goes pretty far. Incentives matter, as the economists like to say. You won't write try to write the Great American Novel if you don't think you can. But, even if you think that there's some small positive probability you could succeed, it may not be worth trying unless the payoff for success is really huge. Do the math. Which is why winner-take-all markets and the vast wealth and status inequalities they entail may not be so bad for the commonweal. A more egalitarian distribution of money and status for novelists would result in a decreased overall supply of novel-writing effort, and thus to fewer and fewer really valuable novels. (The stats quo also leads to a lot of wasted effort, but so what!) If widespread false belief doesn't work, try inequality!
That said, a smart culture can probably limit wealth inequality while maintaining the possibility of huge inequalities of status, which is why I suspect Ed Conard, whose book I have not read, overstates the case for economic inequality. Successful cultures produce individuals who try hard, because that's what one does, and who dream of riches and/or glory. Maybe successful cultures also produce individuals deluded about the efficacy of the will, too, as Brooks seems to think. But I really don't think there's any risk in talking about openly about the possibility. I mean, watch:
God is dead! Nothing matters! Your life is a worthless, insignificant blip in an endless blank expanse.
See what happened? Another can-do American just won another stupid gold medal.

An end to suffering: 10 quotes on Buddhist philosophy
It's not what you have, it's what you do with it.
- Buddhism has been applied differently across the planet as it enters new cultures.
- The underlying philosophical foundation is applicable to diverse situations, whether religious or secular.
- But it is a practice, not a belief, and must be treated as a discipline for retraining consciousness.
Why women make businesses more profitable
When it comes to the workplace, more diversity means more money.
- While the workplace is slowly diversifying, some industries have been slow to change.
- A growing body of research is uncovering that workplaces with greater diversity actual perform better. One of the clearest examples of this effect is in venture capitalism, where nearly all venture capitalists are white, male, Harvard graduates.
- When VC firms hire more women, their effectiveness and profitability explodes.

Workshop Proceeding
Research and Applications Needs in Flood Hydrology Science: A Summary of the October 15, 2008 Workshop (2009)Water Science and Technology Board
Flood damages have increased greatly over the past century, in part because of increased development in floodplain areas. Unfortunately, conventional methods used to understand and plan for flooding -- for example by considering flood risk when designing structures and setting insurance rates -- have become outdated. This report summarizes the discussions at a two-day workshop held by the National Research Council to foster dialogue among the science and applications communities on issues related to planning for extreme hydrologic events. Discussions at the workshop focused on research needs in the new science of hydrologic extremes, the role of new and advancing methods to observe and predict flood events, and the interface between the science of hydrologic extremes and how science information is utilized, for example, by agencies to monitor flood levels. The report highlights issues for future attention by the National Research Council and workshop participants.

Copa Del Rey: Real Madrid defeat Barcelona at Camp Nou to reach final
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Real Madrid demolished Barcelona 3-1 to book their place in the Copa del Rey final.
By Rob Parrish - Follow me on Twitter @skysportsrobp
Last Updated: 27/02/13 8:19am
With Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson watching from the stands ahead of Tuesday's UEFA Champions League last-16 second leg with Real at Old Trafford, Jose Mourinho's men produced a devastating display of containment and counter-attacking football.
Barcelona may hold a 16-point lead over their bitter rivals in La Liga going into Saturday's El Clasico encounter, but the Catalan club were firmly second best in front of their own supporters when, as in their Champions League defeat to Milan, they dominated possession but created precious few chances.
Lionel Messi was inches away from opening the scoring with only 90 seconds on the clock as his instant control and shot on the turn from Pedro's cross flashed across Diego Lopez's goal and narrowly wide.
But it was Real who took the lead in the 13th minute when Ronaldo was released by Gonzalo Higuain's clever ball down the wing, with the Portugal ace drawing a foul from Gerard Pique following a series of step-overs.
Pique and Barcelona were infuriated, but referee Undiano Mallenco's decision was absolutely correct, with Ronaldo picking himself up to drill into the bottom corner and send Jose Pinto the wrong way for his sixth successive Clasico goal at Camp Nou.
Fabregas immediately had a penalty appeal of his own turned down at the other end of the field after tumbling under Alvaro Arbeloa's challenge, while Ronaldo fired two long-range efforts over before thudding a third attempt into Pinto's chest.
Parts of Camp Nou thought Barca had equalised with half-time approaching as Messi rippled the outside of the net with a low free-kick from a central position just outside the box after Arbeloa went into the book for bringing down Andres Iniesta.
Xabi Alonso released Fabio Coentrao with a superb ball on the left side of the area but he shot straight at Pinto early in the second half, before Sergio Busquets finally forced Lopez to make a save with a well-struck shot from outside the box.
Real made it 2-0 with another lighting counter-attack which left Barcelona's defence all at sea as a long ball out of defence was chased down by Angel Di Maria, who turned Carles Puyol inside and out to leave the experienced defender on his knees.
Di Maria's resulting shot was superbly saved by the feet of Pinto, but the ball looped up kindly for Ronaldo to control and convert in the 57th minute, with the Real ace receiving yet more unwanted attention from a supporter in the stands with a laser.
Any hopes Barcelona had of mounting an improbable comeback were vanquished when Raphael Varane, who found the net in the 1-1 first leg draw, produced a towering header from a corner with Jordi Alba's late response for Barcelona nothing more than scant consolation.

Little fighters stories:
Please feel free to read all the stories of our little fighters. PLEASE NOTE: Not all the photographs in our Little Fighters Albums are nice to look at. Some of the photographs depict the horrid realities of Childhood Cancer. Sensitive viewers should be mindful.
Theo Eli Halgreen
Here is Theo's story, as written by mommy, Shanel. Most of you will find it difficult to believe, that he is not even yet 1 year old, but yet have endured a lot more than some people do in a lifetime.
"Theo was born on 26 July 2013 weighing a healthy 3.4kg , he is the friendliest little baby you will ever meet as he started smiling at just 3 weeks old.
16 January 2014 Theo's granny who babysits him during the day while we are working discovered a lump on his abdomen, his tummy was a bit lopsided when he lied flat on his back. Me being the paranoid mum took him down to the casualties the same night where they did a X-ray, x-ray couldn't show what it was so they told us to come back in the morning to do a sonar.
We returned to hospital the following morning and a sonar and MRI scan was performed, showing a mass on one of his kidneys. That alone was terrifying for us as parents, the only comfort we received was when the urologist told us its a deformed kidney that never stopped growing since birth which needed to be removed. Told us to come in on Monday morning and book him in for the operation, only to go to our paediatrician the Monday and heard the shocking news.
We have to go to Cape Town to have this operation performed, as it was a malignant tumour, called a WILMS tumour. Cancer in the kidney. That just took the wind out of our sails, after that everything has been a blur for us all, it all happened so fast, one moment we are sitting in the doctor's surgery receiving this news, the next moment we find ourselves on a plane to Cape Town. Our little boy unaware and oblivious to everything that is going on around him, still smiling and laughing all the way. It broke my heart and it still breaks my heart thinking back and looking at all the photos. How can such a healthy baby boy suffer like this?
Tuesday morning we had him booked into the Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital to have his surgery performed the next day by the wonderful Dr Richard Wood. We will forever be so grateful for the wonderful work he has done to save our baby boy's life.
Little Theo was operated on Wednesday morning, a 3 and half hour long operation to remove his kidney, adrenal gland and the tumour. The tumour weighed close to 600g! After surgery he was observed for 4 days in the paediatric ICU, to see our baby boy in pipes, and drips was the most heart breaking picture to describe. Sedated, no smile on that face and soft whimpers from him to let us know he was so hungry. By Friday he was awake and when he saw us....we received a BIG SMILE from him, we burst out crying, so amazed that two days after such a big surgery he was smiling already!!!!
He is currently on a 6 month chemo program and is still receiving chemo therapy and he will be done by August. A port catheter was inserted by his chest to be able to receive his chemo as pain free as possible. And up to this day our brave boy has never got sick and has shown NO side effects from the chemo at all. He is a healthy, fat and happy baby boy .... he shows me that no matter what life throws at him, he will take it on with a HUGE SMILE on his face!!!"

Extremly Easy and Cost Saving
August 20, 2014 05:38
Setting up continuous integration is complex and time consuming. I've used Codeship for 1 year now and I would never go back to previous systems such as self hosted Jenkins for any kind of web applications. The ability to change developer access on a per repository basis with the click of a button is very helpful and integration with all our services such as Github and Heroku make testing and deployment happen in the background so we can concentrate on our application and not worry about what state the live code is in. We also find the Slack integration (and flowdock before that) to be a great way to share the current code status with the whole team without getting spammed with emails on each commit and build state change while testing prototype branches or working on pull-requests.
Couldn't be happier
September 19, 2014 07:20
I've been using Codeship for my own projects and with my team for about a year now. I've setup and maintained a few CI systems on my own and tried similar services as well in the past. I keep coming back to Codeship because it's so easy. Rather than wrestling with CI, Codeship just works so I can get back to building my product. I'll keep using it and recommend it to friends and colleagues all the time.

Simple CI with a good freemium
April 22, 2015 10:31
If you are just getting started with CI, this is a great place to start. It's simple, doesn't require much setup, and integrates well with GitHub.
I am using it to convince my boss we need CI. He has been hesitant to pay for a CI service. Codeship's freemium level gives you just enough to show how it is useful and important.
Although it is not as feature-rich as other CI tools, it gets the jobs done and runs builds very fast.
Sailing with Ease
April 22, 2015 11:49
Working on a potential project. I was looking for a solution that didn't have to waste time in configuring (locally). Awesome cloud solution that meets may needs.
Best CI tool so far
April 23, 2015 09:39
I love this tool, simple builds over github push, automatic deployments so you don't need to worry about them. Just focus on your code. Good work mates !
Flexible repeatability!
April 25, 2015 08:56
Like most developers I'd love it if my deployment processes were always the same for every project so I never had to think about deployment. However, that's probably never going to happen unless we stop having clients. Codeship allows me to organize all of my deployments into one place and set them up once so that I don't have to remember the process for every nuance of every client.
Whether it's deploying a Drupal or Wordpress site to a private server, a Meteor.js app to Modulus, or just about anything else Codeship gives me the flexibility of writing my own shell scripts for custom jobs (private server) but also one-click solutions for common problems (deployment to Modulus).
Highly recommend them!
WP the way God intended
April 28, 2015 09:40
I spent half a day grepping CodeShip and now I have a sweet deployment process for WP sites. After a month of wrestling with Bamboo I decided to give CodeShip a try thanks to an article by CodeShip's Roman Kuba about deploying WP sites
I am now killin' WP development with my CodeShip + WPEngine setup. This is also making WP development/deployment fun for the first time. CodeShip f*cking rocks.
It makes your life easier
April 28, 2015 16:51
I have tried Codeship and I think it simplifies your life a lot. If you do not have a lot of devOps power in your team, Codeship will be your best ally.
CI newbie
April 29, 2015 10:32
I like the fact that every build works as a VM so I don't need to worry about collisions or environment failures.
Codeship - First impression
April 29, 2015 15:18
Codeship is absolutely fantastic. I decided to try it on a whim, and after logging in with butbucket and choosing a repo, the setup was done, it could not have been easier. Such a fluid and robust CI there never was.
Extremely Easy To Use
April 30, 2015 06:39
I have used several CI environments and this is far and away the easiest one to use!
Took me minutes to set it up and start building my app.
Pipelines for free (to start)
April 29, 2015 15:53
It's not easy to differentiate a CI/CD service because integrations matter so much more than the service itself. Didn't even need to read any docs, it just works exactly as you expect it to.
First non-buisness use of CI software
May 02, 2015 04:38
Working for a web agency, I have access to many premium services for all parts of the development process which leads to two things when it comes to working on my personal projects at home.
1: I am more fussy about the quality of tools and services that I use than I was before I went from just messing around with programming to having a developer job.
2: I really don't want to pay a single fee or any kind of subscription to services as after using them all day at work I find it hard to justify personally paying a premium to use them for a bit of time at home after work.
However with Code ship neither of these things caused any issues as I found it to be very high quality and free.
On the subject of it being free, I know there are other CI solutions that are free however if you wish to use it with a private repository then unless you already have private Github repos then the fact that Code Ship integrates with Bitbucket can be extremely convenient as it means you can set up your personal projects with free private repository and a free CI / testing solution for absolutely free.
Overall Codeship has really impressed me in every way from its pricing to its clean and simple UI and its ease of use.
Awesome deployment.
May 04, 2015 08:12
I've used a set of different CI tools and codeship has the most clear interface. Also the onboarding is great: step 1, 2 and 3 and you're deployed. Great service.
When you want a CI and you want sane defaults that help you.
May 12, 2015 18:20
Codeship has easily been the easiest CI I've ever used.
Set up is a no-brainer, you can customise it but most people won't even need to - and that's where Codeship shines. You want a CI and you want to work on your product not waste time tweaking config files. Really awesome pricing too!
Very easy to use
February 10, 2016 20:03
I have used codeship for two rails projects deployed to elastic beanstalk. I find it simple to use and fast. I've used the free version of travis for some open source stuff, and I like codeship's simplicity and speed better.

We've got some of the purest waters in all of Europe. No wonder Ireland's latest food trends are coming straight from the water
Foraging – searching natural environments for edibles – is the hottest story in food right now. Spearheaded by super-star chef René Redzepi of Copenhagen's Noma, two-time winner of The Best Restaurant in the World, foraging has been tipped by food website Gourmandia.com as the "Next Big Trend".
Of course, foraging is nothing new. It's an age-old custom that's been rediscovered by the international food community in a big way. In Ireland, it's an integral aspect of the food culture that continues to this day, with foragers seeking out wild mushrooms in damp forests or picking blackberries from roadside bushes.
Right now, though, some of the best foraging in Ireland is taking place on our shores – and it's all about seaweed.
Make no mistake – seaweed is the new darling of the Irish food scene. It's why you'll find pickled Atlantic seaweed and purple kale on the island's Michelin-starred menus. Why celebrity chef Darina Allen writes about foraging in rock pools, and why food writer Sally McKenna waxes lyrical about creating an Irish kelp dashi on her foraging blog Kitchen Life Skills.
And it's why slow food cook and doctor Prannie Rhatigan was inspired to create an entire cookbook about it, namely the Irish Seaweed Kitchen.
"Seaweeds are enjoying something of a revival," explains Prannie. "We have become more health conscious and aware of the fact that seaweeds are powerhouses of minerals, vitamins and trace elements. They are versatile, easy to use and most importantly taste great."
Of course, it's not just the taste. Seaweed is a heavyweight in nutrients and vitamins, packing iodine, iron, calcium, vitamin E, vitamin C and chlorophyll beneath the slimy exterior. The brown seaweed fucus vesiculosus (commonly called bladder wrack) contains all the minerals on the planet. Irish moss or carrageenan is rich in calcium and has long been known to have healing properties. "A magic food", according to Darina Allen.
The Irish Seaweed Company sells hand-harvested edible seaweed from the Antrim coastline, and has also joined forces with universities for medical research and development projects on the health benefits of seaweed and algae. If you want to taste some of their products, then look for dulse: a traditional edible seaweed that's becoming popular all over the island, and even internationally once more.
Think a friend might enjoy this article? Click to save and share
Over 600 types of seaweed or sea vegetables – the preferred term these days – have been identified on Ireland's shores. As seaweed expert Annette, who demonstrates her skills in this fascinating video, and at the annual Féile Bia na Mara seafood festival on Achill Island, says of the local rock pools: "There's kelp galore, there's sea spaghetti, and serrated wrack in abundance. It's a forest."
Cheryl Cobern Browne, who made the fascinating video of Annette, agrees, "It was an eye-opening experience! So few people know the value and deliciousness of seaweed harvesting and cooking."
Prannie admits she has a lifetime's experience of harvesting seaweeds from being taught as child by her father. But says if you want to give it a go yourself, it's as simple as following the tide out to the lowest level and carefully giving the seaweeds "a little haircut" at the ends (never the roots) with a sharp knife or scissors.
It's something you have to sea – and taste – for yourself.

Dr. Sean Gallagan, an alumnus and adjunct faculty member of the Adrian Dominican School of Education, was selected by the Miami-Dade County Public School District as Principal of the Year on May 25, 2011. Mr. Alberto Carvalho, Miami-Dade Superintendent of Schools, described Dr. Gallagan as an inspirational leader and also praised his humanitarian work.
Dr. Gallagan is the Principal of the George T. Baker Aviation School which is located adjacent to the Miami International Airport. This is the only public school in Miami-Dade County which is certified by the Federal Aviation Administration to prepare approximately 1,500 high school and adult students for careers in aviation.
"It is a true honor to be recognized by my colleagues and peers as the Principal of the Year. As an educator and a leader, I take it very personally that I am preparing my students in not only their chosen career path, but in life," said Dr. Gallagan.
An experienced pilot, Dr. Gallagan helped secure the donation from American Airlines of a 140 passenger MD-80 aircraft to the George T. Baker Aviation School and assisted a team of Miami-Dade educators including Mr. Carvalho to fly to Haiti immediately after the earthquake.
Last December, Dr. Gallagan received his PhD in Leadership and Education with a Specialization in Educational Technology and is an adjunct faculty member for the Master's and Specialist in Educational Leadership program at Barry's School of Education.
"Barry University has been part of my life from high school to graduate school. I first attended Barry University through a dual enrollment program at Chaminade High School in the mid 80's," said Dr. Gallagan. "While a middle school assistant principal, I realized that attaining a doctorate was a goal that I wanted to achieve. I am privileged to now be a part of a university that has added so much to me personally as well as professionally. Without a doubt, I would not be where I am today if it were not for Barry University."

would the same apply to FT232RL driven chips?
Quote from: westfw on Jun 24, 2011, 11:19 amQuotewould the same apply to FT232RL driven chips?No. But none of those seem to be exhibiting the problem...can you explain why they wouldn't have the same problem?
No. But none of those seem to be exhibiting the problem...
he saw some aberrant behaviour from an Arduino board that had an FT232 fitted, it just took a little more digging to expose it. so the problem is not exclusive to the UNO, but in the case of the UNO R2 more obvious in its manifestation.
Did the creators finally turned into carton box pushers and only get interested in making money out of the project?
This is pretty far from how the other open communities react.
I've submitted http://code.google.com/p/arduino/issues/detail?id=572I don't know for sure if that's a good place to submit HW bugs, but I don't see an official alternative.
I had some communication with the arduino team, which by the way confirmed a R3 uno that will include a diod fix.I, too, would like an open discussion on that matter. At least a public sign of activity on this topic would be a nice move. Silently correcting a problem is not really what an open source project should do imho.
Could someone describe the diode fix, can someone participating sum up?
Thanks lefty,This in replacement of the pullup resistor in the same configuration?
