The LT8640 from Linear Technology is a monolithic, constant frequency, current mode, 5 A synchronous step-down DC/DC converter. Packaged in a 3 mm × 4 mm QFN, with integrated power switches and all necessary circuits it requires only a minimal PCB footprint. Its 2.5 μA quiescent current, with the output in full regulation, enables applications requiring high efficiency at low load currents. And, output voltage ripple is below 10 mVP-P at any load, from zero to full current. In addition, the LT8640 meets the radiated emissions specified by CISPR (international committee on radio interference) for the maximum permissible disturbance of radio receivers in the 150 kHz to 1000 MHz range. Fig. 1 shows an LT8640 circuit that provides 5 V at 5 A.

- 42V, 750mA (IOUT), 2.2MHz Step-Down DC/DC Converter
The regulator's 42 V absolute maximum input voltage rating is important for automotive and industrial environments. Just as important, especially in automotive situations, is its dropout voltage. Often, critical 3.3 V logic supplies must be supported through cold crank situations. The LT8640 regulator maintains the close to ideal behavior in this case. Instead of higher undervoltage lockout voltages and maximum duty cycle clamps of alternative parts, the LT8640 operates down to 3.4 V inputs.
You can program the output voltage with a resistor divider between the output and the FB pin, as shown in Fig. 1. Choose the resistor values according to:
When using large FB resistors, you should connect a 4.7 pF to 22 pF phase-lead capacitor from VOUT to FB.
In the past, the argument against switch-mode DC/DC converters was that they can generate EMI that affects neighboring circuits. Now, the LT8640 is a "Silent Switcher" that conforms to the requirements of CISPR 25 Class 5. Fig. 2 shows the LT8640's radiated EMI performance along with CISPR25's radiated emission test with Class 5 peak limits. The LT8640 can run either below the AM band for even lower EMI, or above the AM band. In a setup with a 700 kHz switching frequency, the LT8640 does not exceed the noise floor in a CISPR25, Class 5 measurement.
Typically, one solution to EMI issues was to use a shielding box over the complete circuit. However, this adds significant cost in required board space, components and assembly. Moreover, adding shielding complicates thermal management and testing. Yet another way to reduce EMI is to slow down the converter's switching edges, but this also reduces efficiency, increases minimum on- and off-times and the associated dead times; it also compromises the potential current control loop speed.
As a measure of its effectiveness, the LT8640 reduces EMI emissions by more than 25 dB compared with current state-of-the-art switching regulators. In addition, it lowers EMI by 20x in the frequency range above 30 MHz without compromising minimum on- and off-times or efficiency in an equivalent board area. It accomplishes this with no additional components or shielding, which is a significant breakthrough in switching regulator design.
The LT8640 uses a constant frequency PWM architecture and uses a resistor from the RT pin to ground to set switching frequency from 200 kHz to 3 MHz. It can be synchronized to an external frequency operating from 200 kHz to 3 MHz. AC switching losses are low, so it can be operated at high switching frequencies with minimal efficiency loss. In EMI-sensitive applications, such as those commonly found in many automotive environments; the LT8640 maintains a good EMI-efficiency balance.
To aid EMI reduction, the LT8640 can operate in spread spectrum mode. This reduces the converter's EMI by spreading the switching frequency energy in a narrow band over a wider band in a controlled manner. As a result, it reduces the peak spectral amplitude of the fundamental and the harmonics and lowers the radiated emission from the switching source. With spread spectrum in operation, the LT8640 varies its clock with a triangular frequency modulation of +20%. For example, with the LT8640 is programmed to switch at 2 MHz, spread spectrum mode modulates the oscillator between 2 MHz and 2.4 MHz. Fig. 3 compares amplitude vs. frequency characteristics for the Burst mode and the spread spectrum node in the LT8640.
To enhance efficiency at light loads, the LT8640 operates in low ripple Burst Mode, which keeps the output capacitor charged to the desired output voltage while minimizing the input quiescent current and minimizing output voltage ripple. In Burst Mode operation the LT8640 delivers single small pulses of current to the output capacitor followed by sleep periods where the output power is supplied by the output capacitor. Between bursts in the Burst mode, all circuits associated with controlling the output switch are shut down, reducing the input supply current to 1.7 µA. In a typical application, the input supply consumes 2.5 µA when regulating with no load.
For some applications it is desirable for the LT8640 to operate in pulse-skipping mode, offering two major differences from Burst Mode operation. First, the clock stays awake at all times and all switching cycles are aligned to the clock. In this mode most of the internal circuits are awake at all times, increasing quiescent current to several hundred μA. Second, the full switching frequency is reached at lower output load than in Burst Mode operation.
The SYNC/MODE pin selects between Burst Mode, pulse-skipping, or spread spectrum mode, and also allows synchronization to an external clock. You can tie the SYNC/MODE pin high for pulse-skipping mode with spread spectrum modulation.
You can program the output voltage ramp rate by means of the TR/SS pin. Putting an external capacitor on TR/SS enables soft starting the output to prevent current surge on the input supply. During the soft-start ramp the output voltage will proportionally track the TR/SS pin voltage.
You can set an accurate enable threshold using the EN/UV pin. If the EN/UV pin is low, the LT8640 is shut down and draws 1 µA from the input. When the EN/UV pin is above 1 V, the switching regulator becomes active.
When the LT8640's output voltage is within the ±8% window of the regulation point, the output voltage is considered good and the open-drain PG pin becomes a high impedance and is typically pulled high with an external resistor. Otherwise, the internal pull-down device will pull the PG pin low. To prevent glitches, both the upper and lower thresholds have 0.2% hysteresis.
Along with its ability to minimize EMI, the LT8640 also maximizes efficiency at high switching frequencies. For optimal performance the LT8640 requires the use of multiple VIN bypass capacitors. Two small 1 µF capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the LT8640: One capacitor should be tied to VIN1/GND1; a second capacitor should be tied to VIN2/GND2. A third capacitor with a larger value, 2.2 µF or higher, should be placed near VIN1 or VIN2.
Large, switched currents flow in the LT8640 VIN1, VIN2, GND1, and GND2 pins and the input capacitors (CIN1, CIN2). The loops formed by the input capacitors should be as small as possible by placing the capacitors adjacent to the VIN1/2 and GND1/2 pins. Capacitors with small case size such as 0603 are best because of their low parasitic inductance.
Input capacitors, along with the inductor and output capacitors, should be placed on the same side of the circuit board, and their connections should be made on that layer. Place a local, unbroken ground plane under the application circuit on the layer closest to the surface layer. The SW and BOOST nodes should be as small as possible. Finally, keep the FB and RT nodes small so that the ground traces will shield them from the SW and BOOST nodes. The exposed pad on the bottom of the package should be soldered to SW to reduce thermal resistance to ambient. To keep thermal resistance low, extend the ground plane from GND1 and GND2 as much as possible, and add thermal vias to additional ground planes within the circuit board and on the bottom side.

Background Free WordPress Themes With Premium Features
When On the lookout for a theme or plugin, WordPress users are spoilt for choice. With the official repository, dedicated marketplaces and assorted WordPress shops, there are thousands of choices — so many, in reality, it can easily become difficult to make a determination. Free WordPress Themes With Premium Features
Making The choice is vital to your website's achievement so isn't something to be taken lightly. After all, your site's theme will decide the design displayed to your visitors, and your plugins will include most of its plugins.
To help You make an educated choice, I'll be taking an comprehensive look at one of the best places to purchase WordPress themes and plugins: MyThemeShop. In addition to examining MyThemeShop generally, I will also be looking at its main attributes, reviewing some of its best products and sharing tips for prospective buyers.
Click Here to sign up to MyThemeShop Now!
Let's get started!
What Is MyThemeShop?
Using a Name like MyThemeShop, you would think the answer will be clear cut. In fact, MyThemeShop occupies a middle ground somewhere between a WordPress theme store and also a WordPress'club'. Because of its pricing policy, it leans more towards being a club.
This is Because although all its products (MyThemeShop develops themes and plugins) are available to purchase individually, in addition, it includes a membership option that provides users complete access to its whole product range.
Think It or not, MyThemeShop is among the WordPress clubs boasting a satisfied customers and a catalog of 99 themes and 20 plugins. Free WordPress Themes With Premium Features
MyThemeShop Support
As we've Touched on a number of times during this article, MyThemeShop offers 24/7 service for all its customers, quality. It happens in public and so that other users can learn from common issues.
There's a Dedicated section for topics and plugins, plus separation between free and premium products. Simply post your issue on the forum and one of the MyThemeShop-employed service team will respond immediately — usually .
Instead Than focusing on paid associates, MyThemeShop offers excellent support to users that are free also, believing that the support someone receives for a product shouldn't rely on whether they paid or not.
The forum Supports a search feature, so you can start looking for existing solutions to a problem the fastest way to discover answers. Inquiries are indicated with a stamp that was green resolved.
Along with The service forum, MyThemeShop has included a collection of 45 video tutorials teaching the basics of WordPress, the way to use the MyThemeShop products, as well as how to use some favorite non-MyThemeShop plugins. These videos are available via the Tutorial tab.
And, if You are still not able to solve your problem after posting to this support forum, MyThemeShop also offers support. In the event you need tweaks to your theme, specific customisations, site setup, or site migrations, the MyThemeShop support team can assist you out (though these services are, as you'd expect, compensated ).
MyThemeShop WordPress Themes
Now, on Into the stuff that is important: its products' quality and selection. We'll start by looking at MyThemeShop's core product range: WordPress topics.
The MyThemeShop collection consists 16 ones, and 83 premium topics. Free WordPress Themes With Premium Features
MyThemeShop Themes were created with usability in mind, and each theme ships using a market-leading theme options panel from which you can command the motif's settings, import arbitrary content (to have your site looking like the demo you saw when you bought the motif ), or dip right into its many customisation choices.
It is Worth taking a moment to discuss the full extent of these customisation options, which makes the themes versatile.
To get a Begin, each motif has support for unlimited colours and the entire catalog of Google net fonts — over 600. Maybe more importantly, all topics offer unlimited background options: including many different built-in background patterns, the above unlimited colors, and the option to upload a custom background picture.
The Themes are pretty feature-rich too. There is built in ad management, stylish and lightweight buttons, and contact form performance included with every theme. All themes come with support for the entire collection of MyThemeShop shortcodes, allowing you to add eye-catching design components to your website easily.
Most Importantly, however, is that this is a clean, lightweight, and robust code underneath all. What is more, to make sure your site is as visitor-friendly as you possibly can, all topics boast a completely mobile reactive design, lightning-quick load times, and cross-browser compatibility.
Another Bonus: each theme has a narrated video tutorial, also MyThemeShop offers round-the-clock support that will help you out of any tight places you may experience (more on this later).
The Themes are divided across four categories:
- Magazine topics (39 available)
- Blog themes (41 available)
- WooCommerce topics (17 available)
- Business themes (9 available)
Searching For a motif is easy, and that the MyThemeShop site has plenty of features that will help you out. For a start, you can search for topics in each of the four categories we've just listed, plus there is another class for free and assorted themes. Or, if you would like, you can start by looking for a keyword using the search function. Free WordPress Themes With Premium Features
All Themes include a trailer that will assist you to get an idea of the design. These previews come in rows of three by default, but, if you would prefer a slightly bigger preview, then you can pick rows of two. There's also a filter which allows you sort the themes by recognition or launch date.
Maybe Most helpful of all, though, is that MyThemeShop allows you to select which features you want in your subject. Features are selected from a list, and any theme that fails to meet your criteria is dropped out of the search page. There are nine choices (and also you can pick more than one):
- Two column
- Three pillar
- AdSense optimised
- Complete width
- Fixed header
- Reactive
- Slider
- Translation ready
When You have discovered a motif you like the appearance of, you could click through to the motif's merchandise page. Here, you are going to have the ability to read more about this theme's main attributes, and you will find an notion of the theme's popularity — each theme involves a community rating from five.
As you'd Expect from one of the best theme sellers every motif also comes with its own demonstration.
Before You buy a theme, I suggest spending a couple of minutes exploring this demo. You will be able to sample the theme's layouts, try out the different customisation options, and get an overall idea of how the motif looks and performs.

Erik Kubik Says A new Wolfenstein game!!?? I first heard of this about two months ago. For fans of the series, it's been awhile. Eight years is a long time to wait. The last game in the series, 2001's Return to Castle Wolfenstein, thundered onto the Xbox and the PC. I fondly remember the game, with its big boss fights, crazy weapons, zombies, endless Nazi killing fun, and a great multiplayer mode.
Just like the original game back in the early 1990s, I would expect the new Wolfenstein game to garner a whole new set of FPS expectations. However, being "new" and "different" these days is more difficult because of the overly saturated FPS market. My initial impressions of the Playstation 3 version are good. The game opens by thrusting you into the action. The difficulty settings made me chuckle, straight from likes of DOOM, gamers are presented with several difficulty options including "Don't hurt me daddy" and "Can I Play?"
Here are two things I like so far: the over-copious amounts of gore and the big explosions that send enemies and their limbs flying. There are new mystical powers, and as in previous games, the Nazis are trying to acquire some sort of ancient technology. In the beginning, the powers feel cheap and gimmicky. Slow down time, done! Use powers to look for secrets, done! Nothing screams OMFG: I am a God; well at least not yet.
I'm a little confused on the storyline and how everything ties together. The Intel, journal entries, and character interaction attempts to clarify some things but so far it's failing me.
So far there's not a whole lot of new things for this aging IP. But the fast paced action and gorgeous graphics make me want to come back for more. As the game progresses, I'm hoping for these things: a large mini-gun, a BFG, and some zombies.

Where has this month gone? Can you believe that it's the last Wednesday of the month already? I know--me neither!
In happy news, though, that means that today is the reveal for this month's Pretty Palettes challenge. Woo-hoo!
One of the fun things about doing these challenges is that they push me to think outside my regular, comfortable color palettes... and this month's Tutti Fruitti collection was definitely a push! I like the colors together, but honestly I'm not sure if I would have put them together on my own.
Still, I think I did justice to the challenge. Here is the necklace that I made:
It's made with paper beads (not made by me), acrylic pink rounds, and iridescent golden glass, all knotted together on white waxed linen. Although it's chunky, the materials mean that it's also super lightweight--perfect for summer.
And what can I say--I was super excited when I realized that almost all of this month's color were encapsulated in the paper beads! :)
So, there you go! That's what I made for this month's Pretty Palettes challenge.
Thanks to the lovely Molly Schaller and the folks over at Halcraft for letting me play along... and thank you for stopping by to see what I've been up to! Be sure to come back later this week... I have two more reveals that I'm working on for you. :)
Until then, have a wonderful day, everyone!

OKEECHOBEE — Everglades Elementary School was evacuated Wednesday afternoon due a bomb threat. A call was made to the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) regarding a bomb threat. The children were loaded up on school buses and transported to the Okeechobee Agri-Civic Center.
According to Sheriff Noel Stephen, who was present at the Agri-Civic told the Okeechobee News that "a call came in around 3 p.m. that an unknown device appeared to be a bomb and was due to go off at approximately 3:45 p.m."
"We chose to evacuate based on uncertainty of 100 percent safety of the children and school staff," said the children.
The children were removed from the school and relocated to the Okeechobee Agri-Civic Center and a search was conducted of Everglades Elementary.
No bomb was found.
"A criminal investigation of a false report of a bomb threat is now under way and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused to the students, parents and members of the school" the sheriff continued.
Sheriff Stephen also said that "The parents have been great" in reference to their cooperation of the school evacuation.
The Lake Okeechobee News is published every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and now includes news from around the lake every Wednesday.

Sounds of summer Sundays
When renaissance painters wanted to depict heaven on earth, they usually depicted a garden . . . and musicians. Pacific Musicworks invites you to experience the real thing this summer, in a series of three Sunday afternoon concerts. At each of three notable private gardens in Seattle, PMW music director Stephen Stubbs will accompany guest artists like counter-tenor Matthew White, tenor Ross Hauck, and soprano Terri Richter together with baroque favorites Maxine Eilander, harp and Tekla Cunningham, violin in the kind of music that Veronese's and Watteau's courtiers reveled in. Join them!
The first event is this Sunday, June 20th, at 4:30pm with other performances on July 18 and August 29. Series tickets are $125, singles $50 (wine and light supper included). Call 206-601-5424 or email firstname.lastname@example.com today. Visit http://www.pacificmusicworks.org/ for more information.

The wind flow over forested terrain is characterized by a slow down in wind speeds, higher wind shear and increased turbulence. High wind shear and turbulence are factors that increase fatigue loads on turbines, and most turbines today are not design for these loads. This leads to higher maintenance costs and a decrease in overall life time.
The aim is to learn to about the effects of clearning forest around a winf turbine to increase production and minimize loads. The study will cover the effect of larger effects.
The target is to:
1. evaluate the viability of a scanning LIDAR and advanced CDF modelling as a tool box for analysing the effect of forest clearing on wind wind turbines.
2. provide recommendations on how and when to clear forest around wind farms and wind turbines..

RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Southern New Hampshire University men's basketball team completed a comeback from a 15-point second-half deficit by converting on a late tiebreaking layup to earn an 87-85 non-conference victory over host Felician University on Sunday afternoon at Job Gymnasium.
Both teams were playing for the first time since the mandatory Division II Dead Period ended on Dec. 27. The Penmen (7-5) were ending a 14-day layoff, while Felician was playing for only the third time in a 24-day stretch.
The Golden Falcons (2-7) completed the non-league portion of their 2018-19 slate.
Felician assumed an 85-83 lead on a layup in traffic by freshman Dee-End McRae (Irvington, N.J./Newark Central) with one minute, 35 seconds left in regulation time, but Penmen senior Daquaise Andrews (Queens, N.Y./Thomas Jefferson) answered with a drive to the rim on the other end of the floor. The Golden Falcons twice had the ball with a chance to move back on top, but turned it over each time, the latter on a charging call with the shot clock off.
Out of a timeout, SNHU got the ball in the hands of Andrews, who dribbled down the game clock while being tightly defended. With fewer than 10 seconds to play, he went to his left hand and worked his way from above the right elbow down the left side of the lane, making a left-handed lay-up with 0:03.6 to play. It was the 13th lead change of the contest.
The hosts eschewed the timeout, and the Penmen countered by leaving two defenders at three-quarter court. The Golden Falcons could only manage a 60-foot heave by Zamir Wright (Newark, N.J./University HS), which was on line but bounced off the back rim and toward midcourt as time expired.
Andrews finished with 31 points and 11 rebounds. He netted 22 points after halftime, including 13 in the final seven minutes to spark SNHU's comeback. The Penmen received 23 points from junior Eamonn Joyce (Medford, Mass./Hyde School [Conn.]) (5-11 3FG, 4-4 FT).
Wright topped five double-figure scorers for Felician with 22 points. Freshman Jay'von Jackson (Plainfield, N.J./St. Mary-Elizabeth) collected 15 points and six rebounds.
Both teams struggled from the floor in the first half. SNHU shot 33 percent while Felician made 28 percent of its shots, and the Penmen left the floor with a 35-32 lead at halftime. The hosts built a seven-point edge on a Jeff Lewis (Sicklerville, N.J./Timber Creek) layup with 14:43 to play, only to see it sliced to 56-55 at the 12:46 mark.
A four-point play by Wright touched off a 19-5 spurt that gave Felician its largest spread of the day, 75-60, at 7:58. The Golden Falcons were up by that same margin, 80-65, moments later, only to see SNHU run off 15 consecutive points, including eight by Andrews, to tie the score at the 3:39 mark. The sides traded three-pointers to set up the dramatic finish.
Felician senior Rahsaan Williams (Brooklyn, N.Y./Chelsea CTE) recorded 11 points, 13 rebounds and six blocked shots, and teammates Lewis and Rachid Shimou (Piscataway, N.J./Piscataway) also scored 11 points each. Junior Shawn Montague (Yorktown Heights, N.Y./Canterbury) amassed 15 points and 13 rebounds for SNHU.
Felician seeks its first Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference win of the campaign when it hosts Caldwell University on Wednesday at 8 p.m. in Rutherford.

(Edu/K/U)buntu CD Arrived
Just now, my order of (Edu/K/U)buntu CDs arrived at my office. It was sent from Netherlands via TPG Post. I ordered them last month (at the end of May i think) and less than one month, the CD has been delivered safely. Thanks to Cannonical who supports Ubuntu developments. This shipment is a lot faster than my previous orders (back when Ubuntu first releases 4.10 version. My order of 5.10 wasn't delivered up to now, but i have the latest 6.06 LTS for now).
Ubuntu Linux has become one of the trends nowadays and it has won a PCWorld 2006 awards. Every release will bring a lot of attention for many peoples around the world. I personally use Ubuntu for rescue CD when needed and not in my daily activities, as i'm fairly happy with Slackware.

Op-Ed: Cairo meeting fails to find solution for Libyan crisis
Ken Hanly
Feb 15, 2017 in
- Egyptian government attempts to mediate a peace deal between Presidency Council (PC) leader of the UN-brokered Government of National Accord (GNA) Faiez Serraj and Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA) failed.
The LNA is the armed forces associated with the rival government to the GNA the Al-Thinni House of Representatives (HoR) government. Haftar refused to meet with Serraj and Serraj flew back to Tripoli from Cairo. Mohamed Samir spokesperson for the Egyptian Army said that the two did agree that there should be parliamentary elections and a presidential election in February of 2018. However, the
Libya Herald
claims it was told by a source that although Serraj agreed to the proposal, Haftar did not. Ageela Saleh, said only that he would study the idea. Apparently the Egyptian spokesperson was manufacturing fake news!
Serraj and Haftar were supposed to join in a meeting Tuesday that would have been chaired by Egyptian president Abdel el-Sisi. Serraj waited patiently all day in his hotel while Egyptian intelligence officials pressured Haftar to accept a compromise. Obviously they did not succeed. Haftar refused to accept Serraj's plan for a three-man PC rather than the present nine. He also rejected the proposal to have the position of commander-in-chief to be held jointly by the head of the PC, the HoR, and the State Council plus a supreme military council that would include Haftar. Haftar wants to remain head of the armed forces of any new GNA.
Both sides agreed to set up a committee of 15 members each from the HoR and the State Council of the GNA to consider changes to the Libya Political Agreement(LPA). There is no mention of a meeting for the HoR to vote confidence in the GNA as is required by the LPA.
Some time ago
the UN envoy Martin Kobler insisted that the LPA can be amended only after the HoR accepts it as it is and votes confidence in the GNA. The Herald suggests that the failure could strain relations between Haftar and Egyptian authorities. I doubt that there will be any significant changes in Egypt's support for Haftar as Egypt sees it as in its interest to continue support for him. He also has Russia and the UAE behind him. Haftar has been consistent in his demands and his attitude towards the peace process. He thinks there is a military solution and has been constantly trying to strengthen his power as the GNA appears to weaken and even faces an attempted coup by the PM of the former Salvation Government that so far the GNA has failed to put down.
In an interview with Arabic newspaper, Serraj explained that there was no meeting between himself and Haftar in Cairo because Haftar insisted that Ageela Saleh take part in the talks, but Saleh had refused to meet Serraj.
said: "The intransigence of each party has resulted in the stagnation of a political solution and has increased the suffering of the Libyan people." Saleh is already sanctioned by the US and EU for allegedly blocking a settlement of the Libyan crisis. In my opinion, Saleh simply follows whatever Haftar wants. Nevertheless, Serraj thought that dialogue would eventually find a way out and that he would announce a new way forward in the next few days. At the same time, Serraj said he doubted that any government formed in the present circumstances could gain HoR approval or public confidence. Given this assessment, it is hard to see how there can be any successful way forward.
Haftar and Saleh remain in Cairo in talks with Egyptian authorities. The former ambassador to the UAE and several boycotting members of the HoR have also been involved in talks.
Tarek al-Jaroushi
a member of the HoR who attended the talks said: "Seraj must return to the legitimacy of (the eastern) parliament if he really is looking for a Government of National Accord that secures the rights of all Libyans." The GNA does recognize the legitimacy of the HoR but it becomes the legislature of the GNA only once it approves the GNA.
The HoR last rejected the GNA on August 22 last year. Almost six months later there seems little progress in having the HoR and its armed forces join with the GNA. It remains to be seen if US president Trump will involve the US in this crisis.

Avantifan1 posted a topic in Avanti's For SaleThis car competed at the International Avanti Show in Tacoma this year for authenticity, it received Silver, Alan Basile was one of the judges, this is what he had to say about it. Rick Here are the items that caused points to be deducted: aftermarket headlights floor mats not original radial tires exhaust tips not the original style air cleaner decal missing cowl seal missing wrong radiator cap, hoses, and clamps transmission dipstick painted the wrong color This car gained many points for originality. It would not take much time or money to bring this car up to a Gold Level! I bought this in Wenatchee WA this year, SmilinJack (He bought it in 1968) had passed away, and his wife and son were looking for a new home for it, so I re-homed it here. Check out tis page at Bob's for what it looked like when I bought it http://www.studebaker-info.org/AVDB1/R5000/64R5063/64R5063x27032018/64R5063x27032018.html Since then I changed the wheels and tires, went back to the original hub caps ( I put 7 inch wheels on it, and the tire rubs the Torsion Bar in a right turn). When I got it it had the Bias Radial T/As on it from the 1960's although the tread was good they really were bumpy to ride on. The original rear view mirrors don't hold position very well, but of course none of them did. The rear engine seal has a small leak "Studebaker left it's mark on the world, every where it was parked", I guess I can use that as an excuse. Now comes the reason I am selling it. In November after a lot of searching I found a 63 R2 4sp (what I really wanted) in Ohio, had it shipped up, it's not the prettiest, and needs a lot of TLC. I will use the proceeds from this to fix the new one. The new one will be nice but not original like this one. They don't give me a lot of space to provide photo's if you're seriously interested, I can provide more if you need. $23,000.00 Rick Reimers 360 319-6459

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark is a story-driven, turn-based tactical RPG set in a fantasy world with a touch of steampunk. Take control of the Arbiter Kyrie, an agent of the Immortal Council tasked with preserving stability and order throughout the land, and lead your troops through difficult encounters.
Strongly influenced by games such as Final Fantasy Tactics (original and Advance versions) and Tactics Ogre, this tactical RPG stands on its own as a worthy successor of those classics, bringing a slew of improvements and additions to the tactics genre.
Centuries ago, a brutal beast of destruction rent the world asunder. In this time of need, the first Immortals came into their uncanny powers, powers so great that they succeeded in destroying the beast ravaging the land, where all else had failed.
To prevent such destruction from ever happening again, the Immortals banded together to form a Council that would enforce order and stability on a global scale, stepping in at any hint of war or chaos.
The Immortals might be vastly powerful, but they are few. Even they can't oversee all of the lands. This is why they rely upon their mortal agents, the Arbiters, to guard the land's people from the more day-to-day dangers they face. Arbiters range over the land, rooting out bandits, unruly monsters, and crooked officials; their word is law.
But one Arbiter uncovers the deepening corruption pervading her own order, and it falls to her to halt the spread of a threat as dire as the brutal beast of yore.

Snevah replied to RBHeadge PE's topic in APR 2019All, let's try and make @RBHeadge PE life a bit easier. In the past, some states are missed because of too much conversation in the map realease thread that RBHeadge puts together for us each year. Only post the state that you are reporting as "out" and the time/date. Hold discussions on "hoping [insert state] is coming soon" to other threads. Hold notifying of your passing/failing the exam, and also avoid congratulating others (congratulate them on other threads, or through PM, they deserve it!!!!)... it just adds unneeded traffic here. I realize that: by posting this I'm becoming part of the problem... and there is a lot going on with results coming out, and so many are very excited. but please keep this thread on point.
NCEES Records
Snevah posted a topic in General EngineeringI wanted to give an update to the current state of the NCEES records. I've been in the process of getting my NCEES record started. The two difficult parts of this were 1. getting my references to respond to NCEES and 2. the NCEES approval of my job experience. As far as references go, I found the best method to get your references to respond to the NCEES email was to remind them the kind of professional work you've done with them in the past. "Hi, Jim. Thanks again for being a professional reference for me. Please take a look at the email you've probably received from NCEES. As a reminder, I've worked with you on the Hawaii Water project and the North Dakota government building project. Let me know if you run into any roadblocks" The area I've run into more trouble is getting NCEES to approve my job experience. It's taking 2+ weeks at this time for them to review you work. That means if they have a problem with what you've written, you have to wait another 2+ weeks for them to review it again. Long story short, take your time writing the Tasks and Projects you've using for your job experience. I used projects I worked on to describe the tasks I did at my first job (only 1 year of engineering experience). NCEES did not like that, they don't want any mention of projects in the "Tasks" section. So now its taking 2+ weeks waiting on them to review this job that really doesn't matter as I have 4+ years experience at my current job. Overall I expected to be completed with my NCEES record by now, but it moves much slower than anticipated.
I think my feeling is more self-directed. It wouldn't have even crossed my mind to add PE to my username here before I passed the PE exam. Now if I would have joined after you better believe my name would have been "Snevah PE". But ultimately you are totally right, there is ZERO problem with someone adding it to a username before passing the PE. I mostly had sad feelings for "[username] PE" guy making the decision to take the "PE" off. I just hope he decides to (and can) put it back. Long story short, I agree with you on the usernames etiquette... usernames here don't matter.
Absolutely wait. You cannot represent yourself as a professional engineer without a license. Because the license hasn't been issued you as of yet, just don't even risk it. The difference between a couple days is not a big deal.
Adding credentials after your name is the pinnacle of all the work that was done to accomplish a long-awaited goal. Even on the engineerboards I've seen instances of premature PE usage. There was someone that had the username "[username] PE". They ended up not passing, and then they wanted to take off the "PE" portion of their name. I felt terrible for them. I forgot who it was, but I hope whoever you were you passed this time around, and you put that PE back at the end of your name right where it belongs! It's weird, I've been thinking about them (a person I've never met) since the test in April and pulling for them. This is why I like this community here. /END SAPPY STORY
WA Licence NumbersThe WA DOL website now has the recent passing PEs licence numbers up.
Woah... no FE exam results? Is this common?
Hey, out curiosity, does your "fail" results stay on you page even after you pass? Or does it just keep your most recent result?
GREAT WORK! Did you do anything different for this last time around?
Celebrating and Venting About ResultsHow did you do? How are you feeling? Still waiting? You are welcome to share your thoughts.
Getting results today?
Snevah replied to Audi driver, P.E.'s topic in APR 2018Troll... or I feel really bad for the man/woman.
Can't believe I passed in ColoradoResults from Washington!
Washington - when to expect license number?Congratulations... officially a PE! Just checked mine and my two other coworkers, nothing yet.

Singer LaBelle Starts Management Company
Patti LaBelle kicked off her new management company, Pattionium, on a high note _ with a swanky penthouse party at the home of friend Denise Rich.
LaBelle was joined by guests such as Joan Collins, Star Jones, music producer Rodney Jerkins and others at the event, held Thursday at the songwriter's Manhattan apartment.
Even the food was a celebrity event _ Janice Combs, the mother of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, catered the event.
"Actually, we share a son _ Puffy is my son," LaBelle joked.
LaBelle, 58, says she got into the management business in part because she was so impressed by her backup singer, Mary Griffin, who is now one of her artists.
"When we got on stage, I found myself giving her my microphone, just to please the audience," LaBelle told The Associated Press. "So I said, `She needs to be managed _ by me.'"
Griffin sang a gospel song at the luncheon that brought people in the audience _ including LaBelle _ to tears.
"The girl is amazing _ you haven't heard anything," LaBelle said afterward.

SIOUX FALLS (KSFY) – Authorities say tipsters helped them track down two suspects in a credit card skimming case in southeast South Dakota.
Thirty-year-old Dairon Rodriguez and 25-year-old Darcy Quintero, both of Cuba, were arrested Friday, according to Sgt. Jason Gearman of the Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office.
Gearman says an "alert citizen" and a Walmart employee called police after recognizing the suspects. Both suspects were later arrested at a Sioux Falls Walmart.
Police conducted a search of their car. Gearman says officers found around 50 additional credit cards.
Authorities have been on the lookout for the suspects since credit card skimmers were found at a pair of Baltic gas stations in late August.
Rodriguez and Quintero both face several counts of forgery, identity theft, and use of a false credit card.
Gearman said it is still unclear how many victims there are in the case. He advised anyone who may have used a credit card at one of the targeted gas stations to monitor credit card activity.

Making a Papiertuete Is Simple
If you have been to Germany you may have noticed that at most of the open-air markets and many of the fruit stands, paper cones are used to carry fruit, nuts, candy, spices and almost anything else that is not pre-packaged but weighed at the counter.
Children even receive "Schultueten" on their first day of school, filled with trinkets and candy.
"Papiertueten" or "Spitztueten" (Paper cones and pointed cones, respectively) are very old and have been written about since the 1500s. They do not need to be glued to light items, but "Tueten kleben" (to glue bags) is a euphemism meaning to be in prison.
Make your own German "Papiertueten" for gift giving or as a quick transportation device.Continue to 2 of 10 below.

You Will Need a Rectangular Piece of Paper
You may use an 8x10-inch piece of paper or larger for this project. The dimensions or ratio are not important, just that it is not a square.
You may use newspapers for larger cones, or magazine pages or notebook paper for smaller cones. You may also use food-grade butcher paper for storing or selling small quantities of food.
Make the first fold on the diagonal, lining up the sides of the paper as shown. This is also the first fold of a basic paper airplane.Continue to 3 of 10 below.

Forming a Cone - Make a Second Fold
Fold the bottom of the rectangle up over the open end of the first fold. Catch 1/2 inch of the second layer of paper (see next step).Continue to 4 of 10 below.
04 of 10
Catch Both Layers of Paper in the Second Fold
This is a close up of the second fold showing both layers caught in the fold.Continue to 5 of 10 below.

Turn Paper Cone Over for Third Fold
Turn the paper cone over and fold the tail that is sticking out over to form a spiral. You may tape or glue this for extra strength, but it is not required.Continue to 6 of 10 below.
06 of 10
Pick up the Cone and Open It
Now you can pick up your paper cone and open it up. The open edge opposite the fold has been folded over about a half an inch to stabilize the opening.Continue to 7 of 10 below.
07 of 10
Fill Your Paper Cone
You can fill your paper cone with anything that fits. It is not stable yet, because the top is not folded shut, so be sure and hold the bottom of the cone closed as you are filling it.
Of course, if you have used tape or glue, the cone is already stable, but the beauty of this method is that you can package almost anything in the paper without ties or glue and it will not come undone! Be sure to click through to see how.Continue to 8 of 10 below.
08 of 10
Closing Your Paper Cone
An 8x10 inch piece of paper will hold 4 to 8 ounces of candied almonds, up to about 1 cup of product.
Fold the long top over your goodies as shown. It is helpful if it is folded over so much that it runs up the other side a bit (also shown).Continue to 9 of 10 below.
09 of 10
Fold the Short Edge Over the Long Edge
Fold the short edge over the long edge as shown. Fold again or roll over to tighten the seal. Make several folds in the two left over, pointed ends to further stabilize your cone.Continue to 10 of 10 below.

The End Product - a Sturdy Paper Cone
This paper cone made from notebook paper has no tape or glue but can hold a half a pound of candied almonds in it without falling apart.

The first round of edits for my book have finally been completed. As I've been reviewing them, I read a comment from my editor Ajitha that I couldn't believe. In my chapter about getting around Delhi, I said that, "Any driver who agrees to go by the meter is probably planning a route from GK-I to GK-II via the Taj Mahal."
Here's what Ajitha said: "No longer true, I think. Meter rates have gone up dramatically and autos actually go by meter!"
Could that be true??? I haven't been in Delhi for a while, but I can't imagine such a seismic shift. The only time autos would go by the meter for us was if the driver thought we wouldn't know the proper route, or if there was a cop watching us negotiate.
Last week, I asked Twitter for other opinions.
And here's what Twitter had to say.
One of my theories about Delhi is that it exists in a kind of quantum state, because everything about Delhi is true at once. The answers above reinforce that theory.
Still, I'd like more input. Has anyone else seen a change in the ways autorickshaws charge you in the last couple of years?
Update: more responses have poured in from Twitter!
