Editors Note: The following is the text from Sen. Ted Kennedy's report on the Crandall Canyon mine disaster. This report will be printed in a continuing series about the mine disaster. It is to be noted this report is from the Senate and not from the investigative team from the Mine, Health and Safety Administration. Senators Bennett and Hatch issued a word of caution at taking the whole report as fact and will draw their final conclusions after all the investigations have been completed.
MSHA did not rigorously or thoroughly review and test the proposed plan and Agapito's technical analyses supporting it. In the one instance where an MSHA employee did thoroughly evaluate Agapito's work, his conclusions were rejected by MSHA supervisors after conversations with Murray Energy officials. This record demonstrates the need for (1) the use of more cautious and conservative engineering assumptions in safety analyses of deep cover mining, and (2) more rigorous and thorough review by regulators of technical analyses submitted by mine operators.
The Plan Should Not Have Been Pursued As Conditions Worsened.
The company ignored multiple warning signs during mining - including heightened seismic activity and a major mine bounce - that should have raised red flags about safety conditions.
During mining of the North barrier pillar in early 2007 - just 900 feet from where the Aug. 6 tragedy occurred - there were multiple signs of instability: A Feb. 7 report describes "unpredictable rolling out rib conditions�in Main West:"
Exhibit 6: During the retreat mining, a March 7 report by a shift foreman states that the mine was "bouncing real hard on occasion. Smacked little Carlos up aside of the haid [sic] with a pretty good chunk."
Exhibit 7: A March 10, 2007 internal memo conclusively establishes that company management, including CEO Robert Murray, was aware of the instability in the North barrier pillar. The memo to Murray stated that "The mine is experiencing heavy bouncing and rib sloughage." Beside this description, Murray wrote "noted."
Exhibit 2: On March 11, a large bounce occurred in the North barrier and damaged nearly 800 feet of the mine, leading Murray Energy to abandon the area and seal it. The record strongly suggests that the law required the company to formally report the incident, but the company failed to do so.
NIOSH and MSHA classify "deep cover" mines as those in which more than 750 feet of rock (in mining terminology, "overburden") lie above the mining face. Crandall Canyon Mine falls within this category since, at its deepest point, the mine lies below 2,200 feet of rock.
Ribs are the walls of tunnels in underground coal mines. More technically, ribs are the side of a pillar or the wall of an entry.
Ribs or pillars "slough" coal when coal falls off or slides down the wall onto the floor of the entry. Mine experts recognize sloughage as a sign that the pillar or rib is being subjected to stress or pressure from the rock overlaying the tunnel (known as "overburden" or "cover"). Improving Safety At Small Underground Mines, Robert H. Peters, Bureau of Mines, 1994, found at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/mining/pubs/pdfs/sp18-94.pdf ("Normally stable pillar line conditions often deteriorate if the pillar line moves slowly or remains idle for an extended amount of time. This deterioration can manifest itself in the form of excessive sloughage, heave, and squeezes�.When the pillar line moved slowly or remained idle over the weekend or during a miner's vacation, normally stable pillars began to take weight, as evidenced by sloughage�").
BLM Inspector Falk reported serious concerns about retreat mining after visiting the mine in December 2006 and February 2007, but these concerns apparently were not shared with MSHA.
Exhibit 8. A June 5, 2007 memo reported "constant bumping and sloughing of the ribs."
Exhibit 9. An Aug. 3 update memo to Mr. Murray verifies that the company expected instability as they retreated under deep cover and that "significant sloughage is occurring" during pillaring, a sign of stresses on the pillars.
Exhibit 10. Miner Dale Black (who perished in the Aug. 16 tragedy) told MSHA inspector Donald Durrant that, prior to the Aug. 6 collapse, "there was heavy bumping and there were days he had some concerns."
MSHA also failed to heed warning signs of instability and poor safety conditions during mining of the barrier pillars. After the major collapse in March, MSHA should have visited the mine immediately to (1) determine whether the bounce was reportable (and thus whether the company should be cited for its failure to officially report it), and (2) assess the safety of continued mining in the South barrier pillar. MSHA officials justified their failure to investigate on the grounds that the incident did not seem reportable or significant, given the company's account.
This reliance on representations of the mine operator does not satisfy MSHA's regulatory and monitoring obligations. In addition, when Agapito Associates revised its assumptions after the March collapse, MSHA failed to rigorously review Agapito's revised findings. The agency did not submit the plan to MSHA's Technical Support Center for review because it would take too much time. The agency was also under pressure from the company to approve the plan quickly - which it did. The investigation has also uncovered disturbing information showing that, in May 2006, MSHA officials entered into an improper agreement with Murray Energy in which MSHA relaxed the reporting requirements of the law - excusing the company from reporting seismic events as the law requires.
Evidence Indicates that Murray Energy Violated the Mine Plan, Making a Bad Situation Worse.
It is impossible be certain what happened in the moments before the Aug. 6 collapse. However, the investigation has uncovered evidence indicating that, at the time of the collapse, the company was mining in a manner specifically prohibited by MSHA.
Interview with Donald Durrant, Oct. 10, 2007. Durrant said that generally, during his Main West inspections, there were "some roof issues." But as a rule, he said, the mine roof and floor were very strong. However, Durrant said he had concerns about mining the barrier pillars in Main West. Specifically, he was "concerned about additional tunneling because of the weight the barriers would be supporting." Recommendations
The investigation demonstrates that the Department of Justice must get involved and that there is a need for significant reforms in the process of formulating, reviewing and approving mine plans: 1. The Secretary of Labor Should Refer the Case to the Department of Justice for Prosecution. The record shows that Murray Energy failed to exercise care and caution in formulating the mine plan, disregarded increasing signs of danger in the mine, failed to tell MSHA about these dangers, and violated the mine plan in a way that put miners in danger. Murray Energy's actions must be fully investigated and those who broke the law must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
2. Additional Requirements For Roof Control Plan Review Process
The failure of the review process at Crandall Canyon Mine highlights the urgent need for reform and strengthening of the review process for mining plans- particularly for deep cover mines. Such reform must (1) codify the required steps in the roof control process more explicitly, (2) require in-depth review and analysis, by both mine operators and MSHA, of proposed mining plans and supporting engineering studies, and (3) insulate the process from inappropriate industry pressure or influence.
Such reform should require the following:
When proposing mining plans or revisions in mining plans, the mine operator should create a detailed historical record of safety conditions at the mine. This record should include a review of the mine's safety record and history of seismic disturbances or instability. MSHA should review and analyze this record for accuracy through site visits and a review of mine safety documents, MSHA citations and standards violated, and any other relevant materials.
MSHA should review all technical and engineering analyses submitted by mine operators in support of roof control plans or amendments. At a minimum, the technical review should include checking the results of computer analyses by: 1) verifying the validity of all input data; 2) ensuring the use of a modeling program approved by NIOSH for mine design; 3) validating all dimensions, geologic information and material strength properties; and executing multiple computer runs by varying model input parameters to provide a parameter-sensitive risk assessment of the proposed mine design.
In addition, for plans involving retreat mining, all plans and technical and engineering analyses should be submitted to the Roof Control Division of MSHA's Safety and Health Technology Center, which will generate a risk assessment of the plan and make a recommendation of approval or disapproval.
The mine operator should create a formal, comprehensive risk assessment of the proposed roof control plan or amendments. This risk assessment should assess the level of risk to miners in each component of the plan or planamendment in light of (a) the detailed record of safety conditions discussed above, (b) all technical and engineering analyses submitted, (c) potential safety hazards posed by the mining plans, and (d) any other factors deemed relevant by the Secretary or the District Manager. MSHA should review and analyze this record for accuracy through site visits and a review of mine safety documents, MSHA citations and standards violated, and any other relevant materials. Each of the documents described above should be submitted as part of the Uniform Mine File and posted on the MSHA website. The Secretary should also revise MSHA's Program Policy Manual and any other MSHA internal guidance to incorporate these new requirements.

Orlando TSA Worker Caught Stealing iPad

Sender E-mail
(Source: nydailynews.com)
The iPad ended up at his home 30 miles away from the airport
If you plan on traveling via plane with your favorite electronics, make sure they're with you at all times -- or a greedy TSA officer
might grab it
at the airport.
A recent
ABC News
investigation busted an Orlando, Florida TSA officer for stealing an iPad that was left behind at a security checkpoint. The TSA officer, Andy Ramirez, was caught on tape handling the iPad at the checkpoint, and through electronic tracking, the same iPad found its way to the TSA officer's home.
ABC News
targeted 10 airports around the U.S. that were known for TSA theft during its investigation. At each airport, iPads were purposely left behind at security checkpoints to see whether TSA officers would report the devices to lost and found, or keep them.
At nine of the ten security checkpoints, TSA officers were honest enough to contact the
owners of the iPads
, who had their name and phone number right on the iPad's case. However, Ramirez at the Orlando airport was the one exception.
After handling the iPad, electronic tracking traced the iPads movement about 30 miles away from the Orlando airport -- right to Ramirez's home. After 15 days and no word on the missing iPad,
ABC News
went to Ramirez's home and confronted him.
At first, Ramirez denied that he had the missing device.
ABC News
mentioned that they tracked the device to his home, but only after
activated the alarm on the iPad using iCloud did Ramirez finally hand it over.
But instead of admitting that he stole the iPad, he pinned the blame on his wife, saying that she brought it home from the airport and didn't tell him about it.
Ramirez isn't the only TSA officer snatching personal belongings from passengers. According to the TSA, about 381 officers have been fired from 2003-2012 for theft, where 11 have been fired this year alone. Ramirez is now on that list.
"This is the tip of the iceberg," said Rep. John Mica (R-Florida). "It is an outrage to the public, and actually to our aviation system."
The TSA has had many problems over the past few years. Mainly, TSA officers have been
a little grabby with passengers
while checking them at security, and they've even photographed and stored
pictures of passenger's privates
. More recently, the TSA has demanded that passengers
surrender their drinks
for screening of the contents.

Customer Reviews
Comments: There is two types of lipless cranks, rjnning and rippin ones, livetarget golden shiner and rapala rippin rap are the beat ones on rippin bottom or even suspended fish, but the best running one is this one, the red eyed ahad is close, but not as good.
From: Thierry: Montreal, Canada 1/21/15
Comments: Amazing lure at a unbeatable price. Great sound, durable design, and catches nice fish.
From: Chris: ME
Comments: Great lure for Great price! Nr.07 perfect for Walleye, Pike and Perch. Thank you TW for a nice price.
From: Petr: Czech Republic
Comments: I was fishing for bass on my lake in the chrome/blue color and I ended up catching a 26" northern. Big suprise, and the bait took a beating (the teeth scratched up the finish) but I really recommend this lure very good performance
From: IL
Comments: The Rapala Rattlin Rap is to me the best lipless crankbait out there. It has a fish catching ability like no other. It works great for casting or trolling. Both ways do a great job at producing fish. I have caught many bass on the baits. I even had a muskie follow it in when fishing for bass from shore. I have beat one of the lure on rocks and hard boddem when fishing and the paint never wears off. This is an awsome bait that every bass fisherman should at least have one of in their takle box.
From: Josh: Southern MN
Comments: Your not gonna find a better lipless crankbait for the money. No chipping on the paint. In fact Rapala has some of the best paint on the market and they didn't chince on these. Excellent hooks and great action. Rattles are not as loud but sometimes that is what the fish want. Great bait for bass, pike and on occasion walleye.
From: Cory: ND
Comments: GReat rattle trap for throwing around structure. Fish the holographic blue shad in murky water near a stump. tried it and caught a 5.5 lber. Thank TW!
From: Mitch: Sherwood, WI
Comments: Good all around. Attracts a ton of fish. Sharp hooks, and loud rattles. Looks realistic.

Frank Corrado Earns Team Canada Selection Camp Invite
Thomas Drance
December 03 2012 12:20PM
Since he first reported to Canucks camp in the fall of 2011 - and actually technically before that at the Young Stars Tournament in Penticton that September - Frank Corrado has impressed Canucks fans, media and brass with his steady, two-way play. Corrado's play has apparently caught more than just the attention of Canucks observers and prospect-ophiles, and today it was announced today that Corrado has been invited to Team Canada's selection camp for the 2012 World Junior Championship tournament
Read on past the jump.
Frank Corrado's rise over the past few seasons - from complete unknown, to promising prospect, to dominant two-way force in the OHL, to a legitimate candidate for one of the seven blueline spots available on Team Canada's under-21 team roster - has been nothing short of meteoric. To put it in perspective, Corrado was drafted the latest among all of the defenseman invited to this years Team Canada selection camp by 85 picks.
Corrado will be in tough to ultimately earn one of the seven available spots. The consensus appears to be that the top-four jobs will be given to: Dougie Hamilton, Morgan Rielly, Scott Harrington and Xavier Oulette. Beyond those four, I'd personally be astonished if Ryan Murphy is left off the team. That leaves seven more names competing for two available slots, and I'd describe Corrado as somewhat of a "long shot" to earn his way onto the team.
He does have a couple of things working in his favour, however. First of all, Columbus prospect Ryan Murray will miss the tournament (and the rest of the season) with an injury. Murray is a right-side defenseman, and presumably his absence could open up a spot for Corrado to slide in as a depth option.
Secondly, this years World Junior Championship will be held in Ufa, Russia on international ice. As opposed to being an imposing physical force, Corrado is known for his fleet skating, quick decision making and crisp passing. In theory, his game might translate better onto international ice than, say, Griffin Reinhardt's or Matt Pelech's.
His maturity could also prove to be an advantage as well, over the likes of say Matt Dumba - a player with all the raw skill imaginable, but who has struggled with consistency this season.
For whatever it's worth, Kevin Pendergrast - Hockey Canada's head scout - praised Corrado's two-way play and "grittiness."
Hockey Canada head scout Kevin Pendergast on Frank Corrado: "He fit the bill for us being a defensive type of player" Calls him "gritty".— Cam Charron (@camcharron) December 3, 2012
While Frank Corrado lacks some of the offensive upside or "star potential" that some of his fellow invitees possess, he's a known quantity - a steady defensive player and a locker room leader with good foot-speed, who you can trust to log shifts late in a close game. Team Canada has often opted to wood with exactly that type of "glue guy" on past national junior team rosters, so you have to think that Frank Corrado has a shot, albeit an outside one.
Beyond Frank Corrado's Team Canada shot, the Canucks will only own the rights to one other prospect who will compete at this years World Junior Championships (barring a major surprise, like Joseph LaBate getting a US selection camp invite tomorrow) - and he won't even be in the actual tournament. That prospect of course, is Danish winger Nicklas Jensen who is sure to impress as Denmark plays in the qualifying tournament in an effort to return to the WJC next year.
From the first time i watched that kid at the prospects game you jusy new good things were ahead. His poise and positioning even then were on a diffirent scale to the other prospects. Add in grit and attitude and you've got yourself a player. I read in some report he has grown ( they quoted 6' 2" ) and I'm wondering if that's correct. He was 6' when he was drafted. Any one know for sure his height now ?
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't Denmark got relegated last year? So if Corrado doesn't beat the odds we'll be stuck without a single prospect to cheer for...
Well this is a primarily 19-20 year old tournament and in the last couple of years we've drafted with the firs couple of picks non Cdn players. Jensen, Honzik, McNally, Polasek, Schroeder and Rodin.Gaunce may make the team next WJC ie 2013
December 03 2012, 01:10PM
An ANONYMOUS OHL SCOUT wants to tell us how good Corrado has been this year, but is worried that his team will be charged with tampering.
since when are the world juniors a u21 tournament? as a u20 event the team is generally comprised of the best 19 year old players in the country. and ryan murray is a LHS, how have you determined that he plays the right side because whenever I have seen him play he is on his strong side. Or does that just fit better for your story of corrado having a chance of making the team? get your facts straight instead of just spewing nonsense.
perhaps a piece about how you are not bitter about justin schultz?

The General Services Administration is looking for some help to consolidate its administrative functions.
GSA issued a request for quote on the Mission Oriented Business Integrated Services (MOBIS) schedule Dec. 5 asking for consultation, facilitation and program-management support to assist with the consolidation of its chief financial officer, chief information officer, chief people officer and the Administrative Services offices.
"As a result of the acting Administrator [Dan Tangherlini's] Top-to-Bottom reviews of GSA's offices, these four staff offices were asked to each develop a plan to consolidate and transform their respective GSA functions so to strengthen accountability with the expected outcomes of greater efficiency and enhanced service delivery," the RFQ's statement of work stated. "The scope of the consolidation is GSA enterprisewide, and may take up to three years to achieve full implementation. The intent is to ensure that other GSA components can focus on their missions and streamline internal service delivery operations, eliminating duplication of efforts and apply functional and service delivery best practices and policies."
The RFQ wants vendors to provide services to help reach several goals, including optimizing the workforce's size, skills and competencies, improving internal management controls, providing greater customer service across the agency and saving money and increasing efficiency of each of the offices.

Ambiguity in the RFQ
The solicitation is unclear about several areas of the statement of work.
For instance, the deal is a one-year contract that includes two one-year options, but GSA contradicts itself about whether it's a firm fixed-price contract or a labor-hours contract.
GSA said in one part (Section 3.0) that the contract shall be a firm fixed-price type of contract. But in several other sections, the description sounds more like a labor-hours or time-and-materials contract. For instance, under section 9.2 titled Procedures for Payment, GSA said the vendor "may invoice only for hours and/or unique services ordered by GSA and actually used in direct support of the program office."
Additionally, GSA wants the vendor to "identify each category of labor proposed for performance mapped to the applicable GSA Schedule labor category, provide the GSA Schedule price, show the proposed discounts for the rate, and the rate proposed for the particular labor category inclusive of the discount."
The RFQ also is confusing regarding what exactly the vendor will be doing. In Section 1.1, GSA stated each of the CXO offices developed a plan to consolidate their functions. In Section 5 of the statement of work, however, GSA said the vendor will "work with each CXO Organization to develop a future-state concept of operations for all functions consolidated."
The contract focuses heavily on the CIO's office with requirements to create an inventory of current services and a service consolidation plan, as well as both a portfolio inventory and consolidation plan.
The vendor also will help GSA set up a vendor-management organization and develop workplace standards, policies, procedures and processes.
Questions to GSA about the RFQ were due today, and proposals are due by Jan. 2. GSA said it expects to make an award on or about Jan. 23.

National writer believes Bills' Henderson "should have been undrafted"
by Joe Buscaglia
posted May 12 2014 12:08PM
Ever since he was a senior in high school, new Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson was in the national spotlight. He was a five-star recruit that went to one of the most prestigious football schools going at the time, USC, and was expected to match his larger than life stature with an equal amount of on-field abilities.
Except, it never happened. Sanctions against USC allowed Henderson to transfer and he elected to go to Miami (FL) to presumably be a stalwart along the line for years to come. Trouble off the field mixed with average on-field results turned him from one of the top names in college football to just a mediocre NFL Draft prospect.
In the opinion of Sports Illustrated's Greg Bedard, he believes Henderson
didn't even deserve the seventh-round selection
used on him by the Bills.
"I don't care if he was a seventh-round pick. And I don't care that if you drew a picture of a franchise left tackle, this 6-7, 331-pound athlete with sweet feet would be it. Henderson has been nothing but trouble since being one of the top high school recruits in the country. Multiple failed drug tests during college at Miami and then, again, reportedly during the scouting combine. Henderson couldn't even finish his pro day workout. And on the field, he's not even good. Henderson didn't come close to earning the privilege of hearing his name called during the draft. He should have been undrafted. That's what he earned."
- Greg Bedard, MMQB.com
Henderson has elite size and pieces of his game to work with. Bills GM Doug Whaley was quick to point out to the troubled tackle that he's got only one shot, and he isn't the first to receive that warning from the team and their coaches.
Wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers, who had a lot more success at the collegiate level than Henderson ever did, went undrafted in 2013 based on all his off-field troubles. The Bills and Rogers struck an undrafted free agent agreement, with the knowledge that this was a "one shot" deal, much like what Henderson is getting. Rogers and the coaching staff never meshed, and he was one of the first cuts of training camp.
The current staff of the Bills have proved that they're willing to give chances in training camp. However, anything past that has to be earned. It's going to be tough for Henderson to make the roster as is, but he has to show the coaches that he can be trusted enough through training camp. That way, if a roster spot does open up or they'd like to extend him a practice squad invite, he won't have squandered his chances.
Bedard's strong words, who is very well connected mind you, is a strong indication of how Henderson was thought of around the league. However, with his frame, Buffalo looked at him as a small risk, big reward style of draft pick.
Will it work out? We'll find out soon.

At Repeat To Fade, we get the chance to see the Blue Highway brothers (who design Sweden's Blue Highway line in a small Eskilstuna basement) follow their obsession with denim knowledge to the deserts of Nevada, in search of really old denim. They find scraps of 1880s Levi's, 1900s Levi's lookalikes, 1922 Levi's, tattered and torn (in need of a few months of Denim Therapy). According to the blog, they actually dug these up out of the desert. Is that wild or what? This post is from Xmas 2009, but considering how old this denim is, it doesn't seem so outdated. Check out the photos below.

India steers full speed towards low carbon transport
Drive Supported by 2.49 Million Euros German Funding & UNEP Technical Assistance
New Delhi, 12 November 2010 - India has embarked on a new pathway towards developing a low-carbon transport system, days before the convening of the UN climate change convention in Cancun.
Launched in New Delhi, Thursday, a new 2.49 million Euros three-year project - funded by the German International Climate Initiative and supported by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) - will support the Indian Government's efforts to align transport growth with the country's climate change agenda and national development plan.
Boasting the world's second largest population, India's per capita emissions remain below the world average. But population growth in the last two decades has been coupled with a rapid increase of private vehicles and a switch from rail to road transport across the freight and passenger sectors.
According to a 2007 estimate, India's transport sector is responsible for 12.9% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions - impacting air quality, public health, road safety and sustainable urban development.
India's National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) recognizes the need to lower GHG emissions from transport through the adoption of an integrated sustainability approach that encourages the move towards enhanced energy efficiency in transport, higher penetration of biofuels, sustainable urban planning, improved public awareness and participation and the promotion of public transport services.
Endorsed by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, the project comprises two key interventions: the development of a national action plan for low-carbon transport and the design of low-carbon mobility plans for 4 major cities across India. The cities component will be carried out in close coordination with the Ministry of Urban Development.
Key local partners include the Indian Institute of Management, the Centre of Environmental Planning and Technology University in Ahmedabad, and the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi.
The German International Climate Initiative - the main funder of the project - aims to support partner countries worldwide in establishing climate-friendly economic structures that reduce greenhouse gas emissions where possible. This support covers areas such as increasing energy efficiency, expanding renewable energies, capacity building and policy advice in the partner country.
"Transport is one of the most challenging topics due to its continuing growth", said Germany's Environment Minister, Dr. Norbert Roettgen.
"Without effective measures and programmes, successes in reducing emissions in other sectors could be offset by increased emissions from transport. We need both a clear reduction of transport emissions in the industrialized world but also a slow-down of current emission trends in the developing world. The German Federal Environment Ministry supports this project as an ambitious and comprehensive trend-setting example aiming for climate friendly and sustainable mobility in India."
The outcomes of the national low-carbon transport action plan will include the development of Sustainability Indicators; an assessment of transport sector emissions and projections of future emissions till 2050; policy recommendations and a road map for the development of a sustainable transport system, including the identification of technology and financial needs and international cooperation options.
The cities component of the project will produce a methodology for developing low-carbon mobility plans at the city level and will identify appropriate infrastructure and technology options for emissions reduction and climate change adaptation measures as part of these plans.
The project will also create an online network for information sharing and coordination to facilitate better cooperation among stakeholders and to encourage public engagement.
It is hoped that the newly-launched low carbon transport project will create a model transport pathway for India that can serve as an inspiration to other developing countries.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me."

Angela: I hope you had a Merry Christmas and awesome New Year. How are things going for you? I have been working and studying when I could. Always seems like there was something to be done around the house to. I went today and took my PN test. I sure hope I passed. I feel so relieved to be over with it. I hope all is going well with you! Marti
I found this quote and I really liked it, thought I would share it with you. "The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul." ~ G.K. Chesterton
I hope you also had a Merry Christmas! I spent the afternoon with a friend I used to work with and his wife. I love both of them. They are my best friends. We had a nice dinner with their two sons and talked. About seven I came on home because I was getting tired and had some things here at home to do. Is that a picture of your cat? He is a cutie. I really like cats and at one time had quite a few at the farm. I still feed all the strays that show up, lol.
Hello and thank you for adding me as a friend! It is a pleasure to meet you! Hope you have an awesome Christmas!! Marti

The resistors go the other way round (470 ohm to the lower transistor, 100 ohm to the upper transistor), and both the 1.5V and the 3.5V need to be increased to 5V if you want to feed about 3.5V to the motor.
Can you show us a picture? What is this motor in, does it have its own housing, holding it in place. You might not be able to change it.Post a picture, that way we will have a better understanding of what your trying to do.
Those motors are going to require a lot of current, your best bet now would be to get a actually Hbridge board. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=251080674810&index=1&nav=SEARCH&nid=83702557639

what is the difference between the normal transisotr switch and a darlington connection?
Can you get hold of DPDT relays (or SPDT relays)?Use those instead of the H-bridge.I think I've already suggested this.

Posted on 05/05/2012 3:44:34 PM PDT by rightjb
Here is your chance to be the next "Breitbart." PoiltiJim's crack staff of researchers and writers simply doesn't have the time to follow the leads on this story, but should you desire to out-Woodward Bernstein (sans the possible lies and criminal journalism) have at it.
There is concerted effort underway to infiltrate the Tea Party and conservative movements with fake trouble makers. It was well documented in 2010 by GulagBound discussing Neal Rauhauser's Twittergate scandal, and a simple Google search will show the media has been working overtime to blur Occupy and the Tea Party movements. The Left has been unsuccessful at pinning the crimes against Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and even Norwegian killer Now it turns out Dopers are posing as Gingrich supporters and OWS types as Tea Partiers? Continued at: The Insidious Liberal Plan to Infiltrate and Indict the Tea Party
(Excerpt) Read more at politijim.com ...
Its what the Alinskites do. It should be expected.
Hell, they've already got a GOP presidential nominee masquerading as a republican.
The Iowa Republican Central Committee has been taken over lock stock & barrel by Paulistinians. And when the actual delegates to the national convention are "selected" at the state convention, it will in no way shape or form reflect the results of the caucuses.
Iowa should no longer have 1at in the nation status.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you need to threaten to report me to the Admin if I dont add you to the list...
Do the bloggers have to be as illiterate as "politijim"?
Definitely. The infiltration starts at the top ~
So, is there a problem here?
We have some that cinsitently oppose the GOP front runners.
Wether it's Newt or Rommney.
By the way - would you add me??
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you need to threaten to report me to the Admin if I dont add you to the list...
Politijim is on crack, gulagbound are some shameless pimps.
Hey, how about posting the whole mess instead of being a blogpimp?
This isn't your free advertising site you know.
Freakin' pimps.
This challenge has several aspects.
1. How do we recognize the difference between good conservatives who go off message on distractions and the true plants who try to get us to go off message?
2. How do we recognize the difference between well intentioned conservatives who are inarticulate and do a poor job of presenting their case and the fake conservative?
3. How do we get above the circular firing squad? We have Mitt because we couldn't unite around a single alternative early in the game. Ego and personality are part of the division. Genuine ideological differences are a part, especially foreign policy between Ron Paul supporters and Israel supporters. But our biggest problem is that we let ourselves be distracted by non-issues...both those of our own making and those of the other side.
How do we mature the people in our movement so they aren't so naive? Did they not understand the story of TAB BABY?
Contraception, immigration, global warming are distrations. The issue is jobs, taxes, jobs, spending, jobs, borrowing, jobs, regulation. Take regulation as an example. The only time it favors us politically (right now) is when it can be directly linked to jobs.

I'm not sure I will enjoy being a member of a 'club' that allows someone like me to join, but Thanks for the ping.
(Please keep this a secret. I wouldn't want the Illuminati or the Rosicrusians to come after me).
Quit making sense...you will be labeled one of them "plants" trying to ruin the tea party.
"The Big Red One" ping (scene shot in the inn in Belgium, post-Bulge). Thanks rightjb.
That picture simply MUST be your pinglist picture from now on.
But, even so, that just shows that we are not a monolithic group like the media wants to paint us.
We still have a silver bullet in our quiver (or whatever it is you call the thing where you keep bullets) and that's to elect as many Tea Partiers as possible to Congress and State legislatures so-as to counteract any nefarious or boob-headed intentions either one of the dolts we have to choose from to be President may harbor.
Heh. I'd laugh but its hard to see the screen though my tears. Among 300 million people, this is the best we can offer?
I did not start with this thought in response to your post but given our choices, if Ron Paul promised to follow John Bolton's advice as his VP on foreign affairs maybe we could push him to the top?
For the record Ron Paul was never near the top of my hopes: Palin, Cain, West, Santorum (reluctantly), Gingrich (Pelosi's buddy but with history of positive efficacy), etc.
Hard to believe that Ron Paul may be the best choice. Assuming he's not certifiably insane that is. ;-) PS: I swear before God and country that I have never, ever considered myself a "Paulbot" except that I agree with his views on auditing and dismantling the Fed. Foreign affairs? He's crazy as a loon. FWIW.

|In response to Re: tub help
: I have a 72 inch opening for a tub which is surrounded by 3 windows in a bump out. Can a plumber get all the overflow drains in and the taps in. It seems that the only way to get at a leak would be from the outside. Am I resigned to getting a 5 foot tub and building ledges. I hate plumbing nightmares! What other solutions!

Samoa showed once again that they can't be considered as minnows, after claiming a fine 27-17 success over Scotland on Saturday.
Samoa showed again that they can no longer be considered as minnows, after claiming a fine 27-17 win over Scotland in Durban on Saturday.
The win was an historic one for Samoa as it is the first time that they have beaten Scotland at Test level.
Samoa held the upper hand in the early exchanges and came close to scoring on a couple of occasions.
Scotland defended resiliently but the dam wall eventually burst in the eighth minute when James So'oialo got the game's first try after Alapati Leiua launched a counter-attack from inside his 22 in the build-up.
So'oialo dusted himself off to add the conversion before Greig Laidlaw claimed Scotland's first points with a penalty shortly afterwards.
Both sides played expansively but Samoa's superior physicality saw them dominating at the contact area.
Shortly after Laidlaw's first penalty, Alesana Tuilagi scored Samoa's second try after Logovii Mulipola and Taiasina Tuifua did well in the build-up to create space for the big wing down the left-hand touchline.
So'oialo added the extras, before Laidlaw added two further penalties, in the 19th and 33rd minutes, to narrow the gap to five points (14-9) at half-time.
Shortly after the restart, Laidlaw made it a two-point ball-game when he added another three-pointer and during the early stages of the second half it was Scotland who had the better of the exchanges.
And the Scots took the lead for the first time in the 50th minute when Sean Lamont scored his side's only try after Samoa's scrum-half Jeremy Sua spilled the ball at a scrum close to his own try-line.
Scotland's backs pounced on the loose ball and after sending the ball through several pairs of hands, Lamont got in for an easy five-pointer in the right-hand corner.
To their credit, the islanders did not panic and soon the scores were tied at 17-all through another penalty from So'oialo before Tuilagi scored his second
Tuilagi showed his power, and pace after running onto a pass from the back of a scrum before smashing through a tackle by Peter Horne to score his second try in the 64th minute.
So'oialo succeeded with the conversion, and gave his side a 10-point buffer when he landed another penalty in the 70th minute to give him a personal haul of 17 points.
Man of the match: Despite an impressive all-round display from James So'oialo, one can't ignore the impact that Alesana Tuilagi made on this match. Whenever he received the ball, he proved a menace to the Scottish defence and he was rewarded for his efforts with two well-taken tries.
Moment of the match: With the match level at 17-17 and Scotland launching a comeback, Tulagi scored a memorable try which put the game out of his opponents' reach. The burly flyer showed his physical prowess to get in for the five-pointer and from there on, there was no looking back for Samoa.

Glasgow moved to within a point of the top four after they beat the Ospreys 11-9 in their PRO12 meeting at Scotstoun Stadium on Friday.
Glasgow moved to within a point of the top four after they defeated the Ospreys 11-9 in their RaboDirect PRO12 clash at Scotstoun Stadium.
Both teams went into the game aiming to earn back-to-back wins, with Glasgow having beat Scarlets and Ospreys victorious over Cardiff Blues.
A tight opening period of the match set the tone for an even contest between these two sides, with defences on top for much of the game.
Ospreys took the lead just shy of the 20-minute mark, when Dan Biggar strode up to hit a penalty goal, and it remained at 0-3 until half-time, as the Warriors struggled to craft points-scoring opportunities.
But eight minutes after the restart, the Warriors were able to level the scores through Duncan Weir's well taken penalty goal.
And just ten minutes later, Weir's boot handed the hosts an advantage after Ospreys had been pinged just inside their own half.
But there was no prospect of a runaway victory for Glasgow, and before too long Ospreys' made their territorial advantage count as Biggar levelled the scores with his second penalty in front of the posts.
A Biggar drop-goal eight minutes from time then put the visitors narrowly in front, before drama unfolded as the visiting defence opened up.
A break from Nikola Matawalu created the opportunity, and he put boot to ball, which Tommy Seymour connected with to touch down and put Glasgow back in front.
Weir was wide with the extras, and Finn Russell had a try ruled out for the hosts before the end, but it counted for little as the Warriors repelled Ospreys' late push for a winning drop-goal to seal the win.
The scorers:
For Glasgow:
Try: Seymour
Pen: Weir 2
For Ospreys:
Pen: Biggar 2
Drop: Biggar
Glasgow: 15 Peter Murchie, 14 Tommy Seymour, 13 Alex Dunbar, 12 Finn Russell, 11 Niko Matawalu, 10 Duncan Weir, 9 Greig Laidlaw (c), 8 Josh Strauss, 7 Chris Fusaro, 6 Rob Harley, 5 Jonny Gray, 4 Leone Nakawara, 3 Jon Welsh, 2 Pat MacArthur, 1 Gordon Reid.

It's not easy being a student today: The federal student loan interest rate doubled on July 1, state financial assistance continues to decline, and university tuition continues to climb. Some say that raising tuition enables schools to subsidize low-income students, but critics say this high-tuition high-aid model actually ends up hurting students in need.

Last year turned out to be a great year for the 19-year-old German born producer Etnik and for good reason. With a plethora of well known producers praising the young prodigy for his dark and unique sound, Etnik exploded all over the EDM scene. The final kicker may have been when Skrillex shared Etnik's newest remix of the track, Summer, by the Berlin-based indie duo, I Heart Sharks. Ever since, Etnik has been on powerful producers' radars as he continues to churn out brilliant tunes left and right. I consider Etnik to be one of my favorite producers, so I could barely contain my excitement when he agreed to do a GDD™ interview and record an exclusive mix just for you dirty dancers.

A Michigan man accused of killing the mother of his child has been arrested in Atlanta. The victim's two young children are still missing. WXIA-TV, Atlanta
DETROIT — A Detroit man suspected in the killing of his wife is fighting extradition Thursday as investigators continue to search for the woman's two missing children.
Erin Justice, 28, was arrested Wednesday in Atlanta, where a hearing was held Thursday afternoon.
"He has decided to wait for the warrant from Michigan" rather than waive extradition and return to Detroit voluntarily, said Tracy Flanagan, a spokeswoman with the Fulton County Sheriff's Office in Georgia. "And he will remain in the Fulton County Jail for the next 30 days."
A governor's warrant is required to transport Justice to Michigan, she said. He is being held without bond on on a fugitive from justice charge, and his next hearing is July 14.
Detroit police accuse him of killing Alicia Fox, 27, the mother of his 8-month-old son and a 6-year-old girl from a previous relationship. Her body was found Monday, wrapped in blankets underneath a door in an abandoned home in Detroit; she had been missing for more than two weeks.
Family members had been searching for her themselves because they had not seen her since May 24, and Fox's uncle found her body. Kristian Justice, 8 months, and Kaylah Hunter, 6, remain missing.
"Our focus now in this investigation is locating the children," Detroit Police Chief James Craig said Thursday. "I'm hopeful that the children are alive."
Justice flew to Atlanta several days ago and hadn't been there long before authorities made contact with him, Craig said. FBI agents interviewed him Tuesday but did not arrest him until Wednesday.
Detroit investigators flew to Atlanta to talk to Justice because they believe he has information that will lead authorities to the children, the Detroit police chief said. Wayne County Circuit Court records show that Justice pleaded guilty to carrying a concealed weapon in 2008 and was sentenced to probation.
A second man, a 27-year-old from Detroit, also was arrested and is expected to be charged as an accessory after the fact, Craig said.
Fox lived in a Detroit home with her two young children and Justice. Her body was found with multiple gunshot wounds, including two to her head, about 7 miles from where she had lived, according to the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office.
On Wednesday night, police executed a second search warrant on the home where Fox had been living until around Memorial Day weekend. Authorities found a bullet lodged in a wall, which had been freshly patched and painted, a person familiar with the investigation told the Free Press.
Authorities also determined that blood was spattered on the ceiling of an upstairs bedroom at the home. They have not determined whether that blood is from Fox or her children.
Investigators searched the home's back yard Wednesday and dug in the yard of a vacant house nearby after finding loose dirt but didn't find anything. Authorities are also looking for Fox's burgundy Chevy Impala.
Police consider the home the scene of the crime.
An FBI evidence team picked through tall brush in the back yard of the home where Fox's decomposed body was found. Authorities also searched behind multiple homes on the street.
Detroit Police Capt. Eric Decker said officials are looking for "any evidence of a homicide."

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – D. Wayne Lukas, who turns 78 next week, pulled off his magic again – and with the colt many considered the Hall of Fame trainer's second string as 9-1 Will Take Charge lunged past front-running Moreno on the final stride of Saturday's $1 million Travers Stakes.
"I felt all along there were five or six horses in here that would be deserving, no matter who won," Lukas, who last had a Travers starter in 2002, said after the nose triumph before 47,597 at Saratoga. "We felt ours was one of them. When you get those big, long-striding horses that are making that growth spurt like in May and June, sometimes they maybe take a little time to find themselves. I think this one's finding himself pretty good."
Kentucky Derby winner Orb, with Jose Lezcano aboard after Joel Rosario fractured his left foot Friday, was another three-quarters of a length back in third, nosing out Palace Malice.
Palace Malice, who showed speed in winning the Belmont Stakes and Jim Dandy, had to close from last after breaking poorly. He finished well, the opposite of his Todd Pletcher-trained stablemate Verrazano, made the 8-5 favorite off a 9-3/4-length victory in the $1 million Haskell Invitational.
Verrazano sat just behind the leaders in third but with a half-mile left "he just went through the motions," jockey John Velazquez said of finishing seventh in the field of nine 3-year-olds.
Lukas won his first Triple Crown race in 13 years when Oxbow captured the Preakness Stakes in May to give him a record-breaking 14 Triple Crown races overall. But Oxbow suffered a season-ending injury in the Haskell.
Will Take Charge, whose last victory was Oaklawn's Grade II Rebel by a head over Oxbow, was a non-factor in the Triple Crown with an eighth in the Derby, seventh in the Preakness and 10th in the Belmont. He made amends by giving Lukas his third Travers victory, joining Corporate Report in 1991 and 1995 Kentucky Derby and Belmont winner Thunder Gulch.
"They were reminding me it's been a long time between drinks," Lukas said. "But when they come like this, they count double."
Lukas said he never thought the talent gap was much between Oxbow and Will Take Charge.
"When we won the Preakness, (the front-running) Oxbow could do something I couldn't do with this horse," he said. "But it's so beautiful to have two – or like Todd has three or four or five or six – and you're able to say, 'OK, we lost Oxbow. He's not in the deal, but we'll do the best we can with this one.'"
So Lukas tinkered. He took off the blinkers and put on jockey Junior Alvarado for the Jim Dandy, showing improvement in finishing second. He tinkered more, going to his fourth jockey in four races with Luis Saez.
The result was the biggest triumph for 73-year-old owner Willis Horton, a long-time Lukas client, in his half-century in the sport.
"We knew we had a good horse, a well-bred horse," Horton, who has three horses in training, said of his $425,000 Keeneland yearling purchase, a son of the recently deceased stallion Unbridled's Song and the multiple Grade I-winning filly Take Charge Lady. "He's going to have to catch up with his growth, and we kept pushing on and pushing on trying to make him quicker. But we finally made it here today, and this is a real pleasure."
It also scrambled the 3-year-old hierarch in a big-time way.
"It puts it in turmoil," Lukas said. "I mean, it's upside down… But usually championships are decided in the fall. I'm looking forward to meeting those horses again. And I'm sure some of those who got beat today said, 'Look, we're looking forward to taking on Will Take Charge again.'"
Will Take Charge, the big chestnut with a big blaze, won for the fourth time in 12 starts, along with two seconds, while earning $1,265,371 with the $600,000 payday. It was the ninth time in 13 years that a horse who lost the Derby won the Travers.
Moreno ran his eyeballs out, with jockey Jose Ortiz able to set moderate fractions of 24.2/5 for the quarter-mile, 48.88 for the half and 1:13.43 for six furlongs.
"Brutal, huh?" said Eric Guillot, Moreno's outspoken trainer. "Last jump…. Who wouldn't have wanted to win on this day, on this stage? Like I say, you gotta pay the piper for the stuff I talk, right? But I backed it up pretty darn good running second at 30-1 in the Travers."
Will Take Charge, in mid-pack with Orb in the early stages, methodically gained on the far turn, with Saez angling him to the outside to launch his winning bid. His time for 1 1-4 miles was 2:02.68, with Will Take Charge paying $21.20 to win.
"I didn't know if I had won," Saez said of his first Grade I victory. "When I was coming to the wire, I thought I could win it maybe if I rode a little harder. So I did."
Lezcano cut the corner with Orb to go after Moreno at the quarter pole. The Derby winner got his head in front in mid-stretch and only grudgingly gave way in his first start since finishing third in the Belmont Stakes 77 days earlier.
"He ran a good race," trainer Shug McGaughey said. "…We got him back on the right track, and now we'll point for something else."

Our Righteous Father Theoctistus, Abbot of Cucomo in Sicily
Document Actions
January 4
Saint Theoctistus, Abbot of the Monastery of Cucomo in Sicily, reposed in peace in the year 800.
Apolytikion of Theoctistus the Righteous in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
With the rivers of your tears, you have made the barren desert fertile. Through sighs of sorrow from deep within you, your labors have borne fruit a hundred-fold. By your miracles you have become a light, shining upon the world. O Theoctistus, our Holy Father, pray to Christ our God, to save our souls.
Kontakion of Theoctistus the Righteous in the Fourth Tone
Thou didst rise out of the West, O Theoctistus, mystically illumining the Church of Christ like a bright sun with the resplendent and sacred rays of thine ascetical labours, O righteous one.

I dont think komatsu will use his knife against a "friend" it just dont fits his char.
Toriko is just at the start of hi immersion career he needs to handle it to get slimmer , at least thats what I think..
Granny's creepy. I bet she somehow implants their opponents a bit of her "immersed food" , after that the opponent collapses cause their body cant handle it or he dies cause of hunger. Because the immersed food was to tasty and he suddenly wants more but dont gets it. Sounds kinda stupid lol hope you can imagine what I mean xd
