Transferring Credits
Clemson offers several different ways students can earn college credit before arriving on campus — including IB and AP credits. We also want to make the process for transferring into this University as seamless as possible.
The evaluation of academic credits from other institutions is processed through the Office of Admissions. Final approval for use of these credits in your degree program is determined by your major adviser at transfer orientation.
Transferring Credit Hours
Only credits transfer, not grades. Therefore, you will enter Clemson without a grade point ratio. Your class standing will be determined by your hours transferred.
- Freshman: 0 to 29
- Sophomore: 30 to 59
- Junior: 60 to 89
- Senior: 90 and above
Generally, transfer credits are applicable toward degree requirements if the courses taken are:
- earned at a school accredited by a regional accreditation association, such as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools;
- similar in description to the corresponding course at Clemson;
- required or permitted as an elective in a student's curriculum;
- graded at least one letter grade above minimum passing mark, usually a C or better; and
- not a duplication of credits already earned.
Note: No course taken at a nonbaccalaureate degree institution may be used as an equivalent or substitute for any 3000- or 4000-level Clemson course.
If you have specific questions regarding your major at Clemson, you may communicate with a faculty adviser by choosing the adviser contact by major.
Credit by Examination
Learning experiences including, but not limited to, military service schools, noncollegiate sponsored instruction, work-related experiences, etc., will not be evaluated for transfer; however, enrolled students can request credit by examination from the appropriate department for any nontransferable learning experience.
Once You're Accepted — Viewing Transfer Credits
Accepted students with transferring credits from another institution, AP/IB credit and dual-enrollment credit will be able to view transfer credits through the iROAR Web portal. In order to access the transfer credit summary, you will need your Clemson University ID and password. You may want to print a copy of your transfer credit summary for your records.
It is recommended to bring a copy of the transfer credit summary when attending orientation at Clemson. If you are still enrolled in classes, your current courses will be added when we receive your official transcript. The Office of Admissions must receive final transcripts from each college you have attended before enrollment at Clemson.
If you have received a "Satisfactory" or "Passing" grade for prior course work, you will need to have an official statement from the registrar's office of the institution you attended stating that the "S" or "P" grade is equivalent to a C or better in order to receive credit for the course work. Clemson accepts courses for transfer only if earned with a grade of C or better.
To receive credit for any course from which you might have exempted at another college, you will need to complete an "Exemption/Waiver" form with the Office of Admissions.
Advanced Placement Credits (AP)
Clemson University strongly endorses the College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) Program and consistently ranks among the top colleges and universities in the nation in the number of students reporting AP grades. Students who have participated in AP are attracted by, and in turn contribute to, the superior academic environment at Clemson. Clemson University credit is awarded for grades of 3, 4 or 5 on AP examinations.
Procedure for Receiving Credit Through the AP Program
If you enroll in AP courses through your high school, you'll have the opportunity to take a national examination in the appropriate subject area at the end of the school year in May.
When registering for the exam, indicate if you wish to have the final results sent to Clemson University (CEEB #5111). Exams are graded on a 1 to 5 scale. If you achieve a grade of 3 or higher, you'll receive the appropriate course credit. After Clemson receives your official scores, credits earned will be posted on your record at the start of your first semester at Clemson.
Use our Credits Awarded Chart (PDF) to see how many credit hours your AP class will garner here at Clemson and what grade it will take to get the credit. Be sure to include your Social Security number when registering for AP exams. This will save time and ensure that credit is automatically awarded to your Clemson academic record.
International Baccalaureate Credits (IB)
Clemson recognizes the academic challenge inherent in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and awards credit for IB Higher Level scores in several subjects. IB graduates who score well on their higher-level exams will be awarded college credit as outlined in the chart below. Please be sure to include your IB candidate number in the space provided on the Clemson application.
Transferring from Another Institution
Use the TCEL (Transfer Course Equivalency List) to search for course equivalencies from our database. The TCEL contains Clemson University course equivalencies for approximately 1,200 accredited colleges and universities nationwide. Please be advised the TCEL is only a history of how courses have transferred to Clemson, and does not represent a comprehensive list of transferable course work for any school.
If there is a course you have previously taken that is not showing up on the TCEL, the course will have to be evaluated once you apply and are accepted to Clemson. Please follow the curriculum outline in Clemson's Undergraduate Catalog for the degree that you plan to pursue and take the equivalent courses. Course equivalencies are subject to change.
Taking Credits at a South Carolina Technical College
Our Advanced Standing guide provides you with a list of university transfer courses that may be taken at any of the South Carolina technical colleges. Please follow the curriculum outline in Clemson's Undergraduate Catalog for the degree program that you plan to pursue at Clemson University, and take the equivalent courses as listed in the back of the Advanced Standing Guide.
Students who are unsure to which South Carolina college or university they would like to transfer after their initial course work at a South Carolina technical college should also consult the Advanced Standing Guide. Depending on the student's chosen major, some courses may not be applicable toward graduation requirements. Contact the Office of Admissions for information.
College Board College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)
This program has very limited recognition at Clemson. A few departments accept credit for CLEP subject-matter examinations; however, CLEP General Examinations are not recognized. Credit can be awarded for introductory-level courses according to criteria established by the following departments: Chemistry and English (composition only). Numerical scores plus essays, required when offered as part of a CLEP examination, will be evaluated by the appropriate department. The awarding of credit is at the discretion of the department. CLEP is designed primarily for adults with nontraditional learning experiences. CLEP credit cannot be used to meet admissions requirements.

The Food and Drug Administration visited farms and packing sheds throughout the Pacific Northwest earlier this month to get a first-hand idea of how proposed food safety rules might impact fruit and vegetable growers.
At the end of their tour FDA officials said they'd make changes to rules many growers say could either put them out of business, or drastically change the nature of their farming operations. Typical of almost every official -- elected or appointed -- who ventures out from D.C., they were polite, they were concerned, and they offered no specifics as to how they would solve a problem of their own making.
We think growers and packers would do well to wait for details before they breath easier.
Congress passed the Food Safety Modernization Act in December 2010, giving the FDA a legislative mandate to require comprehensive, prevention-based rules to reduce food-borne illness. The FDA's proposed rules take aim at practices throughout the food supply chain.
The FDA has said it focused on farm practices that are most likely to cause food-borne illness. Of major concern to growers in the PNW are rules regulating ag water used to grow fruit and vegetables that are meant to be eaten raw. That includes herbs, tomatoes, leafy greens, sprouts, melons and a host of other produce crops.
Experts tell us the rules will cover more than 200 commodities grown across the country.
In Idaho and Oregon, onion growers who get their water from open irrigation canals say that even before they conduct the regular tests required by the rules they know there's no way they can meet the standard. There's no practical way to treat the surface water, and switching to ground water for irrigation isn't an viable option.
Their most practical option without a change to the rules is to stop growing onions and start using their water to grow something not eaten raw. That would end a regional industry worth more than $100 million, and Americans would have to find another source for half of their bulb onions.
Washington's tree fruit growers have fewer options. Apple and cherry growers pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the region's economy.
The FDA points out that the rule allows "alternative protocols" if they achieve the same goals. It's up to individual growers or their commodity groups to develop these protocols and prove their efficacy. No small feat with no guarantee of success.
Congressmen whose constituents are impacted by the rules have threatened to defund the law's enforcement. Perhaps the Obama administration, which has become proficient in delaying or outright ignoring the enforcement of laws it considers bothersome or ill timed, to postpone implementing new rules until alternatives can be found.
No one is against food safety, but we can't imagine that Congress intended that food-borne illness prevention would result in the destruction of established sectors of the ag economy. We hope the FDA sees it the same way and comes up with an alternative rule that everyone can live with.

Eli Manning QBs Oreo Double Stuf Racing Ads, But Where Are Peyton, Serena?
September 20, 2010: New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has often appeared in national ads alongside older brother Peyton, but he steps into the spotlight to lead an organization that has stocked itself with all-stars: the Oreo Double Stuf Racing League. Manning, who had been teamed on the DSLR with brother Peyton for several years, now leads a line-up that includes Shaquille O'Neal of the NBA's Boston Celtics, Olympic gold medal-winning speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno and tennis star Venus Williams, another DSRL veteran whose previous partner was her sister, Serena.
Parent company Kraft Foods confirmed that Peyton Manning and Serena Williams no longer have marketing deals with the company and that Kraft, Nabisco and Oreo executives decided to move the DSRL campaign forward without them.
The sales of Double Stuf are in a much stronger position today than when Peyton and Eli helped to launch the fictitious DSRL three years ago, showing double-digit improvements every year, according to Stephen Chirss, senior director of scale and marketing partnerships for Kraft Foods North America. Sisters Venus and Serena Williams came on board after that to keep the family theme going as they challenged the Manning Brothers for DSRL supremacy.
"We had a great relationship with both Peyton and Serena, but they are no longer part of the campaign," said Chriss. "They are focusing on other things and we have decided to go in a different direction, with Eli heading up a new team that still include Venus but also adds Shaquille O'Neal and Apolo Ohno. Having Peyton with us from the beginning worked well for us and gave the product great awareness with consumers, but we feel that with Eli and the others we have a very strong marketing program."
The quad group of stars are featured in a campaign breaking Sept. 20 in which they "challenge a mysterious hooded menace who threatens to overtake the league. The campaign's first 30-second spot follows Manning as he assembles his team to face "the lick racing nemesis. According to Nabisco, will be left to speculate about the "shadowy adversary" — described as a "notable celebrity — whose identity will not be revealed until January 2011.
Businessman Donald Trump previously faced off against athletes in the DSRL but, like Peyton Manning and Serena Williams, he is currently no where to be seen, as his deal with Kraft Foods also ended.
Support for the new campaign includes print, POP and Internet, led by a social media campaign on a dedicated Facebook/Oreo page in which consumers can enter a "Twist It" contest for an opportunity to met the DSRL athletes in person. (Full details here.) Lead agency is DraftFCB Chicago.
The campaign is supporting the launch of Double Stuf Oreo Heads or Tails cookies, which feature a chocolate wafer on one side and a vanilla wafer on the other, with the double creme in between.
"In Team DSRL we've assembled the most unique collaboration of world-class athletic talent I've ever seen," Eli Manning, who helped launch the campaign in 2008, said in a statement. "We may excel in different sports but when united behind an Oreo Double Stuf cookie and a glass of milk, we are a lick racing force to be reckoned with."
According to Shaquille O'Neal, "People don't realize how much precision, speed and concentration it takes to win a lick race. You may have seen me take down a backboard or two in my time, but I guarantee no shattered glass when I dunk my Double Stuf Oreo Heads or Tails."

Diabetes and Heart Disease
Diabetes and Heart Disease
If you have diabetes, you are two to four times more likely to have heart disease than someone without diabetes. This higher risk is due to diabetes, but it is also due to other risk factors for heart disease that happen in people with diabetes. But there's good news. You can help control your health risks by making some changes in your life. You can take steps to reduce your risk of heart disease by half—similar to the risk in people who don't have diabetes.
Your main risk factors
Three major risk factors for heart disease are high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and high levels of lipids. By keeping risk factors under control, you can help keep your heart and arteries healthy. This may reduce your chances of a heart attack.
Blood sugar. High blood sugar can make artery walls tough and rough. Plaque (waxy material in the blood) can then build up along the artery walls, making it harder for blood to flow through the arteries. Having high blood sugar increases the chances of having high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Blood pressure. When blood pressure is high all the time it causes your heart to work harder to pump blood. Artery walls become damaged. This increases the risk for plaque build up.
Lipids. The body needs some lipids in the blood to stay healthy. But lipid levels that are too high can damage the artery walls. Lipids include cholesterol and triglycerides. There are two kinds of cholesterol. LDL ("bad") cholesterol can damage the arteries. But HDL ("good") cholesterol helps clear LDL cholesterol from the blood vessels. This helps keep the arteries healthy. When blood sugar is high, the level of triglycerides in the blood may also be high. High blood triglyceride levels can cause plaque to form.
Other risk factors
Certain lifestyle factors can increase levels of your blood sugar, blood pressure, and lipids. Such increases raise your risk of heart disease:
Smoking damages the lining of your arteries. This allows plaque to build up in the artery walls. Smoking also constricts (narrows) the arteries. This can raise blood pressure and cause chest pain or angina. Smoking also increases your risk of getting type 2 diabetes.
Not being active makes it harder for your heart to do its work. Inactivity is linked to many other risk factors, such as high blood pressure and poor cholesterol levels. Inactivity also increases your risk of getting type 2 diabetes.
Being overweight makes it harder for your body to use insulin. It also makes your heart work too hard. Being overweight is also the main contributor to the development of type 2 diabetes,
Changes you can make
Following a few simple steps can help keep your risk factors under control. Work with your healthcare team to reach your goals.
Quitting smoking could save your life. Smoking damages the lining of the blood vessels and raises blood pressure. Smoking also affects how your body uses insulin. This makes it harder to keep blood sugar under control. If you smoke and need help quitting, talk to your healthcare team.
Testing your blood sugar is the only way to know whether it is under control. Be sure to test your blood sugar yourself. Also get your blood tested in the lab, as directed.
Monitoring your blood pressure and lipid levels can help you achieve safe levels. Visit your healthcare team as scheduled.
Taking medicines as directed can help control blood sugar, blood pressure, blood clotting, and/or cholesterol levels.
Eating right can reduce your risk factors and help you lose weight. Try to limit the amount of processed or refined carbohydrates you eat at one time. Cut back on your total calorie intake. Eat foods low in saturated fat and cholesterol. Eat fiber, including vegetables and whole grains, and cut down on salt. A dietitian or diabetes educator can help form a meal plan that works for you—even if you are on a low budget.
Being active can help reduce your weight, strengthen your heart, and lower your lipid levels and blood pressure. Exercise and activity are good for your whole body. Talk to your healthcare team about increasing your activity safely over time.
Keeping your appointments with your healthcare provider helps you stay healthy. Go in for checkups and lab tests as scheduled.

All questions and answers are based on the 2011 NEC.
Q. What wiring methods are allowed by the Code in spaces above a lay-in ceiling?
A. Section 300.22(C) applies to spaces used for air-handling purposes, but not fabricated for environmental air-handling purposes. This requirement doesn't apply to habitable rooms or areas of buildings, the prime purpose of which isn't air handling.
Informational Note 1: The spaces above a suspended ceiling or below a raised floor used for environmental air are examples of the type of space to which this section applies.
Informational Note 2: The phrase "other space used for environmental air (plenum)" correlates with the term "plenum" in NFPA 90A,Standard for the Installation of Air-Conditioning and Ventilating Systems, and other mechanical codes where the ceiling cavity plenum is used for return air purposes, as well as some other air-handling spaces.
Electrical metallic tubing, rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, armored cable, metal-clad cable without a nonmetallic cover, and flexible metal conduit can be installed in cavity plenum space. If accessible, surface metal raceways or metal wireways with metal covers can be installed in cavity plenum space [300.22(C)(1)].
PVC conduit [Art. 352], electrical nonmetallic tubing [Art. 362], liquidtight flexible conduit, and nonmetallic cables aren't permitted to be installed in spaces used for environmental air, because they give off deadly toxic fumes when burned or superheated.
Plenum-rated control, signaling, and communications cables and raceways are permitted in a plenum space:
– Communications [800.21]
– Control and signaling [725.154(A)]
– Fire alarm [760.7]
– Optical fiber cables and raceways [770.113(C)]
– Sound systems [640.9(C) and 725.154(A)]
Any wiring method suitable for the condition can be used in a space not used for environmental air-handling purposes.
Metal cable tray systems can be installed to support the wiring methods and equipment permitted by this section [300.22(C)(2)(a)].
Electrical equipment with metal enclosures is permitted to be installed in a plenum space [300.22(C)(3)].
Examples of electrical equipment permitted in a plenum space would be air-handlers, junction boxes, and dry-type transformers; however, transformers must not be rated more than 50kVA when located in hollow spaces [450.13(B)].
Q. What is the Code requirement for an intersystem bonding termination, and what is to connect to it?
A. An external accessible intersystem bonding termination for the connection of communications systems bonding conductors must be provided at service equipment or metering equipment enclosure and disconnecting means for buildings or structures supplied by a feeder [250.94], as shown in the Figure. The intersystem bonding termination must:
- Be accessible for connection and inspection.
- Consist of a set of terminals with the capacity for connection of not less than three intersystem bonding conductors.
- Not interfere with opening the enclosure for a service, building/structure disconnecting means, or metering equipment.
- Be securely mounted and electrically connected to service equipment, the meter enclosure, or exposed nonflexible metallic service raceway, or be mounted at one of these enclosures and be connected to the enclosure or grounding electrode conductor with a minimum 6 AWG copper conductor.
- Be securely mounted to the building/structure disconnecting means, or be mounted at the disconnecting means and be connected to the metallic enclosure or grounding electrode conductor with a minimum 6 AWG copper conductor.
- The terminals must be listed as grounding and bonding equipment.
According to Art. 100, an intersystem bonding termination is a device that provides a means to connect communications systems grounding and bonding conductors to the building grounding electrode system.
Exception: At existing buildings or structures, an external accessible means for bonding communications systems together can be by the use of a:
- Nonflexible metallic raceway,
- Grounding electrode conductor, or
- Connection approved by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
Informational Note 2: Communications systems must be bonded to the intersystem bonding termination in accordance with the following Code requirements:
- Antennas/satellite dishes [810.15 and 810.21]
- Telephone circuits [800.100]
All external communications systems must be connected to the intersystem bonding termination to minimize the damage to them from induced potential (voltage) differences between the systems from a lightning event.
Q. If a single receptacle is installed behind a washing machine within 6 ft of a laundry tub in a dwelling unit, is GFCI protection required?
A. GFCI protection is required for all 15A and 20A, 125V receptacles located within an arc measurement of 6 ft from the outside edge of the sink in dwellings and for other than kitchen sinks [210.8(A)(7)].
Q. Does the rule for GFCI protection of receptacles within 6 ft of a sink apply to undercounter receptacles for dishwashers and kitchen waste disposers in dwellings?
A. No. GFCI protection is required for all 15A and 20A, 125V receptacles that serve countertop surfaces in a dwelling unit [210.8(A)(6)].
GFCI protection is required for all receptacles that serve countertop surfaces, but GFCI protection isn't required for receptacles that serve built-in appliances, such as dishwashers or kitchen waste disposers. See 210.52(C) for the location requirements of countertop receptacles.

Lakewood Church Pastor Joel Osteen was the victim of an elaborate Internet hoax on Monday, in which a fake website was set up to declare that he had left the Christian church due to his "lack of faith."
The website JoelOsteenMinistries.com was no longer working as of late Monday, but a fake Twitter account — @PastorJoelOsteen — was still working and denied its own inauthenticity. "Nothing fake here," the user tweeted at a specific individual. "The church controls almost all the accts in my name. They've cut off and seized my accts. They're panicking."
Stars who deserve a late-night talk show
The individual(s) behind the hoax also set up a fake website for Osteen's Lakewood church and produced a fake YouTube video, which is embedded below.
Osteen, 50, has led Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas since 1999 — succeeding his father as senior pastor. He also has written several books and his ministry is broadcast in over 100 countries around the world.

Forum Post: JPMorgan Chase Accused of Manipulating Electricity Prices, Pays Record-Breaking Penalties
Posted 6 years ago on July 31, 2013, 9:33 a.m. EST by GirlFriday
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
Specifically, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) accused Chase traders in Houston of devising elaborate schemes that essentially forced electricity grid operators—organizations that manage the flow of electricity—in California and the Midwest to pay for plants to sit idle, causing them to pay more than 80 times the cost of prevailing electricity prices for ten months between 2010 and 2011. Chase's alleged price-gouging echoes the infamous 2001 Enron scheme, in which the company constricted electricity supply in California in order to jack up prices. Even though the penalty for Chase's bad behavior is the largest the FERC has ever slapped on a company, the fine still falls in line with trifling punishments leveled against the bank—and other financial behemoths—for similar egregious behavior. Chase's $410 million settlement, which was reached on Tuesday and will be divided between ratepayers and the Treasury Department, represents less than two percent of Chase's record $21.3 billion 2012 profits—or about what it earns in a single week. (FERC has also barred the bank from trading in US energy securities for the next six months.) http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2013/07/jpmorgan-chase-manipulate-electricity-price-settlement-ferc
The fines don't work. If they did, then they wouldn't have done this. Barring Chase from trading in US energy securities for six months? How about five years?

AUSTIN, Texas - Republicans have lost their 102-member supermajority in the Texas House, opening the door for Democrats to slow or block the majority's conservative agenda.
Democrats have won more than 50 seats in the 150-member lower chamber of the Legislature. That means Republicans can no longer suspend the rules to push through legislation over the objections of minority Democrats.
Last year, Republicans had enough lawmakers to form a quorum without any Democrat showing up for work.
Democratic leaders have said they will use their increased strength to block conservative bills and demand compromise on public education and health care issues.
Republican lawmakers point out that they remain the majority party and will continue to demand less government spending and lower taxes.

This is University level teaching. Mandarin corner is the place to be to learn real Chinese from an experienced teacher. These lessons are so great. it's important to study everyday and to make sure you're getting the most out of this because there's some material and it is all good. I want to thank the team at Mandarin corner especially Eileen for making this series of lessons so compelling and so so useful. My gratitude is Without End.
Life Academy
This is such an awesome channel. You combine all that a learner could need for making the most of these lessons: speed variation, pinyin, hanzi, leveled vocabulary definitions, and interesting stories. You might think that this combination of useful information for language learning would be readily available until you start to study a language and find it very difficult to come by. Yet here it all is for free! Having attempted to put all this information together myself in the past, I know what a huge amount of work you must put into these videos, Eileen. 感谢你!
I wish I knew about you so much earlier. You've changed my (Chinese) life 😉 and gave me hope to improve my skills in my career. Thank you!
These videos are ridiculously good, perfect resource for revision.
Liam Andrew Elliott
Thank you! To me, your videos are by far the clearest. I really appreciate the pinyin, characters and the translation, and your clear pronunciation! Xie xie!
I lived in China for a long time now , studied tried to learn the lingo , but always , I find it difficult . With the help of Eileen's videos , I always learn something . Thank you young Teacher .
Nigel Prosser
I'm so happy i found your channel, I never took an intermediate class but I did pass Advanced so I'm in some weird level where I'm lacking some essential things to truly be able to speak and these videos are helping a lot.
Speechless. Amaaaazing videos. Can't say how much I appreciate it.

The [Elf on the Shelf][1] didn't exist when we were growing up. As a true-believer I loved Christmas and had absolutely no problem with the idea of a man with a white beard somehow getting into our house once a year and leaving behind presents. But it seems to me (at least from my adult perspective) that the Elf on the Shelf takes Christmas magic and pushes it to its limits.
For those that aren't aware, the Elf on the Shelf is an emissary of Santa that appears in your house during the holidays and watches over your kids. He then goes back to the North Pole every night and reports on whether the children of the house have been naughty or nice. But every morning the little Christmas snitch comes back from making his report, he returns to another location in the house. And it's this random relocation that is both the source of magic and stress in my house.
The magic part is easy to understand. Like Santa's visit, anything that happens in the house without the permission of Mom and Dad is, in its own way, magical. But mostly my kids are excited when they wake up to look for him. It's kind of like a game, and when they find him it is always the first thing they tell me about at breakfast. Some families talk to the Elf and tell him what they want from Santa, and while we don't get that into it the Elf does become another fun way to get excited about Christmas.
Of course, all of that magic doesn't come without its cost. For every five (or so) times my kids wake up wondering where the Elf is, I wake up at least once in a panic wondering if Santa's other helper remembered to put the Elf into a new spot. And on the mornings that the Elf didn't manage to find a new place to roost there is always a lot of explaining to do to my six year old. As my wife said, "It's like the tooth fairy every single night."
Then last year it occurred to my daughter that if the Elf could go anywhere in the house while she was asleep, he could also end up in her room. And the thought of something coming into her room, magical or not, while she was sleeping wasn't cool. In fact she said that waking up with the Elf on the Shelf in her room would be "kind of creepy."
But she didn't want to banish him completely. So for two years now, on the first day he appears, she puts a note on her bedroom door telling him to stay out (this year's version is pictured above). And while she sticks to the rule of not touching the Elf, he also has kept clear of her room.
Then again, all of her anxiety over the Elf on the Shelf could be an elaborate ruse and the sign is just a cover for the really naughty stuff that's going on behind closed doors. I wouldn't put it past her.

Lately I have been trying to find new way to prepare our fresh green beans. There are about a million other ways to prepare them and personally I'm a big fan of oven roasted, but oven roasted takes time and makes a mess. Here is a delicious lite mess way to make some pretty fantastic green beans. They come out a delicious mix of crispy and tender and I only wish that I had more green beans so I could make it again tomorrow!
Green Beans With Garlic Dill Butter
fresh green beans
1-2 cloves chopped fresh garlic
1/4 tsp dried Dill
1-2 tbsp butter
salt and pepper to taste
*this is by no means an exact recipe. I love Butter & Garlic so I use lots, use less if you'd like : )
Add butter and green beans to a heavy bottomed skillet. Cover with a tight fitting lid and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until the green beans are starting to brown slightly. Toss the green beans around to coat with butter completely and allow to cook for 2-3 more minutes with the lid slightly tilted so some of the steam can escape. add garlic, dried dill, salt and pepper and allow to cook just until the garlic starts to brown.
Remove from heat and Enjoy!

Department of Revenue News Release
April 05, 2010Tax Season Tips Suggested for Citizens Who Haven't Yet Filed State Tax Returns
JEFFERSON CITY - Avoiding common mistakes and following other tips on filling out state tax returns can make tax season less hectic according to the Missouri Department of Revenue.
An estimated 2.8 million Missouri taxpayers are expected to file returns by the April 15 deadline. About 1.2 million of those returns come into the Department of Revenue during the three weeks preceding the deadline.
"April 15th is just a little more than a week away," said Alana M. Barragán-Scott, director of the department. "If people haven't yet sent in their state tax returns, there are a few simple suggestions that can help ensure that their tax returns are dealt with in the most efficient way possible."
The best option for many taxpayers is to file their returns electronically. About 61 percent of Missouri income taxpayers filed their returns electronically last year, and the number of people choosing this option increases each year. Advantages of this format include proof that the department has received the return, paperwork can't get lost, it improves accuracy, a trip to the post office is not necessary, and for many people it is an easier format to use. Electronic returns can also be filed any time of the day or day of the week. IRS-approved tax preparers can file a return electronically, and there are a variety of computer software packages that citizens can use to file their taxes. A list of IRS-approved tax preparers is available at http://www.irs.gov/efile/page/0,,id=10162,00.html.
There is also an option for people and preparers who want to obtain some of the benefits of filing electronically, but choose not to purchase a software program. They can use fill-in forms available on the Department of Revenue website at http://dor.mo.gov/faq/personal/2dbarcode.php. These forms are filled out on a computer, but are then printed out and mailed to the department. These returns include a 2D barcode that speeds up processing and reduces the chance of processing errors. About 23 percent of state tax returns were submitted in this format last year.
For taxpayers filling out their own return, it's important to try to avoid common mistakes that can slow down the processing of a return. One common mistake is not signing the return. Another is not including necessary documentation like W-2 forms, interest and dividend statements from financial institutions, the MO-A form if claiming itemized deductions, or a copy of a taxpayer's federal tax return.
Another thing to double check is entering the correct standard deduction for filing status. People who are blind, 100 percent disabled, or 65 or older are supposed to note their status on the state return because it qualifies them for a larger standard deduction. Sometimes people will check one box and not check another even if they qualify for more than one category. Other people sometimes make the mistake of claiming one of these statuses without truly qualifying.
It is also advised that taxpayers not wait until the very last minute to file their returns and expect their local post office to be open to accept and postmark their returns. Post offices have different operating hours, so a local post office might not stay open until midnight on April 15.
Missouri grants an automatic extension of time to file your return if you filed for a federal extension. An extension of time to file an income tax return does not extend the time for payment of any taxes that are due. A state extension form and other guidelines on extensions are available at http://dor.mo.gov/forms/MO-60.pdf.
Help for taxpayers is available at the Department of Revenue's tax website, http://www.dor.mo.gov/personal/ and the Internal Revenue Service website, www.irs.gov. The Department of Revenue also has seven assistance centers throughout the state that people can visit in person, call or e-mail to get answers to questions and help in preparing their state tax returns. Contact information for the centers is located below or can be accessed on the Internet at http://dor.mo.gov/contact/assistance.php. Operating hours for all of the offices through the month of April are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Individuals with speech or hearing impairments can call TDD 1-800-735-2966.

With its first outright Bay Valley Athletic League title in sight, the Freedom High football team hosted Deer Valley on Friday night and looked every bit like the juggernaut many expected heading into the 2012 season.
Three-year starting quarterback Dante Mayes threw for 357 yards, Washington-bound wide receiver Darrell Daniels caught 11 passes for 195 yards, and a quick and athletic defense dominated after the first quarter in a convincing 34-14 win over the Wolverines.
The win clinches a share of the BVAL title for the Falcons (7-2, 4-0 BVAL). After finishing as co-champions with Pittsburg a year ago, Freedom can win its first outright title with a win at rival Liberty on Nov. 2.
"It's not over yet," Freedom coach Kevin Hartwig said. "We got one more week. It's got to go through Liberty now. It's a rivalry game and a lot can happen, so we're not talking championship just yet."
Deer Valley (6-3, 2-2) looked as though it was going to make things much tougher on Freedom as quarterback Nsimba Webster rushed 52 yards for a touchdown on the game's first play from scrimmage. The Wolverines rushed for 162 yards in the first quarter but had two promising drives end in a missed field goal and a turnover.
Freedom's defense held the Wolverines to 21 total yards from the end of the first quarter until 5 minutes left in the game.
Mayes had two TD passes, one to Daniels and one to Devontae Young on the final play of the first half. Running back Joe Mixon rushed for 103 yards and two TDs.
Pittsburg 34, Heritage 18: Pirates running back Harris Ross entered Friday's game against host Heritage with a respectable 339 yards and two touchdowns on 38 carries for the season. He left the game as future star in the making.
The junior tailback exploded for 237 yards and two touchdowns on just 14 carries in a win over the Patriots.
"It feels nice," Ross said after his career-high effort.
Jamal Lockett, the Pirates' leading rusher, was held to 53 yards on 12 carries, but the Pirates didn't have much to worry about with Ross slicing up the Patriots defense.
"It is good (to have depth at running back)," Ross said. "If one goes down, we have another one to step up."
Pittsburg (6-3, 3-1 BVAL) won for the second consecutive game after losing a 49-48 thriller to Freedom on Oct. 12. Freedom clinched at least a tie for the league title, and holds the tiebreakers, with a win over Deer Valley on Friday. The Pirates' regular season finale is next Friday against Antioch.
A win for the Patriots (2-7, 2-2) would have made them playoff eligible, and Heritage could still qualify for a spot with a win over Deer Valley next week.
Heritage started off quickly against Pitt, recovering an onside kick to open the game and then capitalizing on a 7-yard run by Mason Sargent to take a 6-0 lead.
Pittsburg ran off 27 straight points after that, and the closest Heritage would come was 27-15 in the third quarter on a 41-yard touchdown pass from Anthony Carter to Travon Covington-Zeno. Carter was 17 for 25 for 188 yards for the game.
— Ken Silman, correspondent
Antioch 48, Liberty 13: After giving up an early touchdown, Antioch scored 20 unanswered first-half points in a home win over Liberty.
Quarterback Hunter Karnthong led Antioch (6-3, 1-3 BVAL) with 141 yards rushing and three scores, including two in the opening half.
Karnthong's second rushing score came on a draw play on third-and-8 from the Liberty 49. His run capped off an eight-play drive that started at the Antioch 10 after a turnover on downs.
Liberty (2-7, 0-4) twice drove the ball deep into Antioch territory in the second quarter but was held twice on fourth-and-goal.
"We gave up a couple of long drives early on. Luckily our defense was able to make some stops," Antioch coach John Lucido said.
Antioch finished with 339 yards rushing, including 191 yards in the first half.
Cody Maghuyop led Liberty with 104 rushing yards and a touchdown.
— Paul Burgarino, correspondent

Hi. FTPrush is a great client. However, the one feature that it appears to be missing is a tree-view display, both for the local and remote windows. Having a treeview will make it easier to see all dirs on a remote site and change to different directories. The dropdown address bar only shows the directories that have recently been visited.
Here is an example:
Also, is it possible to have the Site Manager window open automatically when the program is first started?

Electric Utility Service Equipment Requirements Committee (EUSERC) was formed in 1983 when the Southern California group PUSERC (formed in 1947) and the Northern California group WUESSC (formed in 1950) merged. At this time there were approximately 40 utilities involved. There are now 80 utilities involved in EUSERC from 14 states. The purpose of the organization is to promote uniform electric service requirements among the member utilities, publish existing utility service requirements for electric service equipment and provide direction for development of future metering technology. EUSERC's goal is to support the development of metering and service equipment that is safe and cost effective to the serving agencies and their customers, and to establish manufacturing and installation requirements for metering and service equipment that are acceptable to all member utilities.
EUSERC develops and promotes safe uniform electric service equipment requirements among member utilities.
EUSERC publishes a revised requirements book (manual) annually. See a EUSERC drawing.
EUSERC provides meter service equipment manufacturers with product feedback.
EUSERC members are employees of electric utilities in the United States of America. The electric utility professionals are usually from the following fields: service planning, inspection, standards, & metering.
EUSERC associate members work for organizations such as U.L. or NEMA.

A touch of heavy cream, a few garlic cloves and thyme sprigs round out the flavor of tender braised leeks with chicken in this recipe. The rich, silky sauce is wonderful over whole-wheat egg noodles or mashed potatoes. Leeks grown in the garden and those that you find at the store can be vastly different in size. Garden leeks tend to be smaller, so if you're using leeks from the garden, make sure you pick enough to fill up the pan.

When life hands you lemons …
Disclosure: I was raised to look for the good no matter how much bad abounds.
Which is why I'm refusing to get all bent out of shape about the long lines and equipment malfunctions that, at several vote centers, turned Tuesday's election into an ordeal.
I'm not saying that standing in line is fun; as a matter of fact, I don't like it at all. But I have to agree with what Mayor John Hickenlooper said this afternoon when we ran into each other in the Denver Newspaper Agency building lobby: Adversity isn't necessarily bad.
"It was like a blizzard," Hickenlooper said. "People were coming together and bonding."
That's how it was around noon Tuesday at Central Christian Church on Cherry Creek Drive South. Perfect strangers were talking to each other, and it didn't take long for all the war stories to morph into other, more pleasant, topics.
The fellow who arrived fuming because the vote center most convenient to his workplace had a 2.5-hour wait was soon talking to the woman behind him about all the good restaurants in nearby Cherry Creek North that served lunch. The 20-somethings ahead of me hadn't known each other before standing in line to vote, but soon discovered they had a shared interest in skiing, especially downhilling on the slopes at Winter Park.
And had I known I'd run into so many people I know, I'd have worn something other than a ratty old sweatshirt and jeans. Maybe even put on makeup and combed my hair.
In the 40 minutes it took me to sign in and vote, I saw former Denver Nugget Chuck Williams, Denver Art Museum supporter Judy Robins and the chairman of the Central City Opera board, Ed Nichols.
Selena Dunham voted early near her Aurora home, but waited patiently at Central Christian while her mom cast her ballot. Michelle Toltz was leaving just as I entered, and Lynda Dalton, a past president of the Central City Opera Guild did her civic duty just minutes before Ed Nichols arrived.
My friend Elizabeth Byrnes Crony of dovetail solutions told me of a similar situation at the church where she and hubby Ed Crony voted. Though their wait extended for the better part of two hours, Elizabeth said that people around them were getting to know each other … talking instead of avoiding eye contact and plastering cell phones to their ears.
Someone even passed out Oreo cookies to make the wait as sweet as possible.

Webber Wong, President of CSun Manufacturing, said the company's book-to-bill ration will stay above 1.0 through the end of Q3, reports DigiTimes. Growth in Q4 will be driven by equipment orders for the manufacture of PSS used to make LED chips. Wong said another driver will be demand for printing and coating materials for smartphone applications. The trend of Japan and Taiwan based PCB manufacturers switching focus to Southeast Asia will also benefit the company, reports DigiTimes.

The Greatest Directors In Movie History
List Rules Most important, culturally significant filmmakers of all time who deserve award recognition.
List of the greatest directors in movie history, who are most deserving of Academy Awards and critical recognition. The list includes directors who have already won major awards, those who continue to have the potential to win Oscars and filmmakers who were overlooked by the Academy during their lifetimes. The skill set of a high-level director is massive - everything from working with and managing large teams to a strong aesthetic and artistic sensibility to the ability to sell ideas to studio executives and potential collaborators. Though many have mastered the actual work of getting films made, only a rare few have managed to create truly memorable, important motion pictures that will stand the test of time.
Often, the greatest of these filmmakers will go unrecognized by the Motion Picture Academy, particularly during the most active, vital period of their careers. Alfred Hitchcock famously never took home a statue for Best Director, despite being perhaps the MOST iconic of all film directors, and certainly one of the most significant contributors to contemporary film language and genre. Martin Scorsese eventually did take home Best Director for his work on "The Departed," but this film came long after the movies for which Scorsese will likely be best remembered - "Mean Streets," "Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull" and so on.This list disregards the quibbles over who has won in the past or will win in the future, and instead focuses purely on the quality of the filmmaking and the importance of the films themselves. Vote for your favorite directors, and if some of your choices haven't yet made the list, make your own version of the list and add them on there!

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Competing at the team's first Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA) Championships, the UMBC men's swimming and diving team broke 12 of 20 school records and finished second overall as the meet concluded on Saturday evening at the University of Tennessee's Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center.
The Retrievers finished the meet with 844 points, trailing only conference champion University of the Incarnate Word who scored 886 points. Davidson finished in third with 632 points with Gardner-Webb (473 pts.) in fourth and NJIT (211 pts.) in fifth. VMI (172 pts.) and Howard (90 pts.) rounded out the standings in sixth and seventh, respectively.
UMBC head coach Chad Cradock was named the CCSA Male Swimming Coach of the Year while Retriever diving coach Petar Trifonov earned Male Diving Coach of the Year honors. Trifonov earned his award after his divers, juniors Ryan Green (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) and Carson Wong (Hong Kong/Kowloon Technical School) swept the two diving competitions with Green taking home Most Outstanding Diver of the Meet honors. Green won the 3-meter event and finished second in the 1-meter board.
Senior Mohamed Hussein (Cairo, Egypt/Victory College), who was named the America East and ECAC Most Outstanding Swimmer last year, added the CCSA Most Oustanding Swimmer of the Meet to his accolades following a record-breaking meet. In total, Hussein won two individual gold medals, one individual silver medal, two relay golds, and two relay silvers. He also achieved NCAA "B" cuts in each of his three individual events, plus the 100-yd. butterfly. In addition, he broke three individual school records while aiding five relay teams to new UMBC marks.
On Saturday, Hussein added a silver medal in the 200 back to his haul, touching in with a school-record time of 1:44.35, which is also good for an NCAA "B" cut. Classmate Johan Rohtla (Tallinn, Estonia/Tallinn Secondary Science) also met the "B" standard, winning a bronze medal with a time of 1:45.66. Freshman Austin Gabel (Clarksville, Md./River Hill) also advanced to the finals, placing seventh to claim the eighth spot in the UMBC record book.
Competing in a time trial, Hussein set another school record with an NCAA "B" cut time of 48.07 in the 100-yd. butterfly.
In the first event of the night, junior Rob Breen (Danvers, Mass./St. John's Prep) earned a silver medal in the 1,650 free with a personal-best time of 15:37.29. Freshman Andrew McKissick (Ellicott City, Md./Mount St. Joseph's) and senior Reed Neuendorf (Blauvelt, N.Y./Tappan Zee) placed seventh and eighth, respectively, with times of 15:56.44 and 15:56.96.
Freshman Gregor Sporlein (Bamberg, Germany/Clavius-Gymnasium) won his first career conference gold medal by taking the top spot in the 100 free. His time of 44.44 ranks behind only Hussein's top mark of 43.81, set during the 400 free relay. The freshman broke the UMBC record for the 50 free (20.29) on Thursday night. Junior Lauri Kaei (Harjumaa, Estonia/Tallinn Secondary Science) took the bronze medal in the 100 free with a personal-best time of 45.24 while junior Trevor Doll (Crownsville, Md./Old Mill) placed eighth (45.82).
In the 200-yd. breaststroke, sophomore Leo Endres (Bamberg, Germany/Kaiser Heinrich Gymnasium) clipped his school-record time while winning a bronze medal. Endres touched in at 2:00.15 in the finals while sophomores Luca Santinelli (Via Alfieri, Italy/Liceo Scientifico) and Daniel Cano (Madrid, Spain/IES Ortega y Gasset) finished fifth and seventh.
Freshman Andrew Schrantz (New Holland, Pa./Garden Spot) represented UMBC in the finals of the 200 fly and took fourth-place with a personal-best time of 1:50.61.

Four local educators - including a two-time Baltimore mayoral candidate - are listed among endorsers of a black empowerment handbook that federal authorities say was written and distributed by the leader of a violent prison gang to spread its message.
The most prominent is Andrey L. Bundley, who garnered 33 percent of the votes in a 2003 mayoral primary, ran again in 2007 and now oversees alternative education for the Baltimore school system. He is quoted on the book's back cover as giving "kudos" to Eric Brown, an alleged leader of the Black Guerrilla Family and the book's author. Bundley wrote that Brown "availed his leadership capacity in Jamaa [the organization] to guide his comrades towards truth, justice, freedom and equality."The Black Book - Empowering Black Families and Communities is self-published by Brown. It outlines principles to bring about a revolution in the black community and, according to court documents, is being distributed throughout the state. An online order form offers a discount for inmates.
Bundley said he met Brown, a 40-year-old from Baltimore incarcerated since 1992 on drug charges, while doing gang outreach work in the state's prison system. He said he was impressed with Brown's work helping soon-to-be-released felons of various gang affiliations with self-improvement as they prepared for life in the outside world. Those lessons were eventually compiled in The Black Book, Bundley said, and his quotes apply only to the self-improvement work he witnessed personally. He said he was in no way condoning the violence with which the gang has been associated.
School officials questioned Bundley this week after learning of his quotes in the book. Bundley's own book is cited in The Black Book among works by such notable figures as Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey, according to a copy obtained by The Baltimore Sun..
"I've seen [rival gangs] come together in one room and work on the lessons in The Black Book to get themselves together," Bundley told The Baltimore Sun. "I know Eric Brown was a major player inside the prison doing that work. The quote on the back of the book is only about the work that I witnessed: no more, no less."
Michael Sarbanes, a city school system spokesman, said there is no evidence that the book has been used in the public schools. A copy of the book was obtained by The Baltimore Sun.
"The discussion or distribution of the book is in no way affiliated with city schools," he said. "Dr. Bundley's job is making disengaged youth meet with success, and the book is not part of that important work."
Federal prosecutors say Brown was actively working to expand the Black Guerrilla Family's reach outside prison. He was one of 24 people indicted last month in federal court on drug and weapons charges, accused of running a violent criminal enterprise that involved murder, extortion, armed robbery and drug trafficking.
Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman Edward Marcinko said investigators have no evidence to indicate that Bundley or any of the other educators are involved with the gang's criminal activities.
Confidential informants told authorities that the book - written by Brown under the pen name "La Eusi Jamaa," Swahili for "The Black Family" - is a ploy to make the gang appear to be a legitimate organization.
In addition to Bundley, educators quoted on the book jacket include Bridget Alston-Smith, whose nonprofit Partners in Progress works with at-risk children at three city schools. Partners in Progress hired a key BGF member and convicted murderer, Rainbow Lee Williams, to help de-escalate gang conflicts at an alternative school.
Like Bundley, Alston-Smith said her quote in the book reflected only the self-improvement efforts she witnessed while doing outreach in prisons. "It was so enlightening to see them grow," she said, noting that the messages of The Black Book appealed even to white inmates. "I thought it was a great curriculum," she said. "Now I'm hearing gang manifesto. I'm like, 'What?'"
Two professors from Anne Arundel Community College, Tyrone Powers and Leslie Parker Blyther, are also quoted endorsing the book, though neither could be reached for comment Friday to confirm the authenticity of the remarks.
Powers, a former FBI counterterrorism agent and Maryland state trooper, directs the school's Homeland Security and Criminal Justice Institute. He also hosts a weekly radio show on 1010 WOLB AM where he is sharply critical of Baltimore's leadership and promotes black empowerment.
Documents show he and Alston-Smith as president and treasurer of a corporation called Children First Movement Inc. Powers and Bundley were classmates at Southwestern High School and have advocated for inner-city children.
An introduction to the book says its purpose is to "make people aware of the vision of Comrade George Jackson," who founded BGF in 1966.
Brown writes emphatically that the group is an "organization that has become a movement" and not a gang. Gangs are a "backdrop to the chaos that we face in our neighborhoods. ... The gang mentality has destroyed so much and given so little to our people."
Latest Crime
The book details financial empowerment, such as homeownership, managing debt and diversifying investments; respecting women and raising children; and acting as "distinguished gentlemen." It advocates spending money within the black community and talks about creating a new political system that would allow blacks to thrive.

The principal of a San Diego elementary school has been placed on leave after being arrested on possession of drugs and a stolen weapon, the San Diego Police Department confirmed.
Rachel Escobedo, 45, is the principal at Lee Elementary School in Paradise Hills. Officials say she was arrested over the weekend on charges of possessing drugs and a loaded, stolen firearm.
On Wednesday, the San Diego Unified School District confirmed that Escobedo is on leave from Lee Elementary. In the meantime, the district said they've hired a retired principal as interim principal.
District officials said they will not comment on any details regarding Escobedo's arrest.
According to police, Escobedo was arrested around 8:20 p.m. Saturday on Missy Court in San Diego's Redwood Village neighborhood.
Police say a resident in the area called authorities to report two people – one of those being Escobedo – possibly using drugs inside a parked car.
When an officer arrived at the scene, he approached the vehicle and made contact with Escobedo and a 60-year-old male passenger.
The officer searched the car and found an open vodka bottle and marijuana in the center console, officials said.
In the trunk, police say the officer found a loaded pistol, which had been reported stolen, and more drugs, including baggies containing 22 pills and a narcotic-like substance.
Escobedo was released from jail Sunday after posting a $25,000 bail. She's set to appear in court on Sept. 17 for her arraignment.

Today between 7:30 and 14:00, Lubos OK2BVG and I successfully completed a two-way contact on 8.97 kHz. We believe that this is the first international QSO ever on VLF.
The distance between Breclav (JN88KS) and Nuernberg (JN59NJ 69es) is approximately 424 km. The weekend before, Lubos and I had found that we could see each other's VLF transmissions from our small home antennas in a slow spectrogram, using about 0.45 millihertz FFT resolution ("DFCW-6000"). This long integration requires about 2000 seconds of continuous non-interrupted carrier to reach full sensitivity.
We decided to use absolute frequency encoding of characters ("MFSK-37" mode), which has a simple structure but is significantly more efficient than two-frequency DFCW. The software signal generators in SpecLab were used to create 30 minute dashes by editing the frequency in 1 mHz steps every half hour. This can be automated by opening a textfile which is read by the "periodic actions" function. Between transmissions, additional half-hour gaps were inserted to let the FFT ring down, and allow for TX-RX reconnections.
Characters are identified by reading the frequencies above 8970.000 Hz, with 8970.000 to .009 assigned to the numbers, .010 idle or space, and .011 to .036 the letters A-Z. Lubos used a Rubidium standard to lock his transmit samplerate, while both receivers and my TX were synchronized by military MSK signals from GQD (22.1 kHz) and DHO (23.4 kHz).
With about 80 watts from an audio amplifier, I could get up to 0.38 A antenna current into my top-loaded vertical 9 m above the roof, radiating on the order of 10 to 15 microwatts. I believe that Lubos is using similar equipment, perhaps a couple of dB stronger. For receive, my soundcard was connected straight to the loading coil and antenna, whereas Lubos has an active probe at a quiet site remote from his TX location.
We wanted to go for a "full QSO" format with reports and confirmations, beyond the rudimentary three-dash "micro-QSO" format which was used in June 2009 between DJ2LF and myself. With single-letter suffixes, we ended up proceeding as follows:
07:30-08:30 "NB" ;Lubos' call: df6Nm de ok2Bvg
09:00-10:30 "BNM" ;my reply and report: Bvg Nm M
11:00-12:00 "RO" ;his confirmation and report
12:30-14:00 "RTU" ;my confirmation and thank you
Although today the noise was not as low as it had been before, we managed to exchange the essential information in 5.5 hours until 13 UT, after which QRN from lightning in southeast Europe became strong enough to obliterate further copy.
Attached image contains captures from Lubos' grabber at Apollons temple (top) and my receiver (bottom), with screenshots from the DK7FC and OE3GHB grabbers pasted inbetween. The original captures are at
All spectrograms were stretched to the same timescale (5 min/pixel). On the left hand side, you can see a MFSK pre-test from Lubos, sending his call to hs own grabber at very low power. There was also a long dash from OE3GHB on 8970.030, and a carrier from DJ8WX on 8970.022 is visible at DK7FC.
The rightmost part of the captures shows the essential eight dashes from our QSO. You can see that I had almost lost Lubos' "B" when my noise blanker triggered heavily on local QRM, inducing me to give an "M" rather than "O" report. But hovering the cursor to 8:15 UT does show the peak at 8970.012 Hz in the spectrum graph. My final "R" is just barely visible at .028, whereas the following "TU" at .030 and .031 ended up drowning in the increasing noise.
During the lowest noise period (9 - 12 UT), the dashes were visible (though not decodable) in 4.5 mHz "600" spectrograms. At that time, our symbols also appeared on Paul Nicholson's spectrogram
http://abelian.org/vlf/fbins.shtml#p=13 ... b=110&s=sp
Thanks again to Lubos for the effort and patience! Although exchanging half-hour symbols is tedious and may sound boring to some, both of us enjoyed it and actually found it quite exciting.
Best 73,
