The Other White Powder
How is salt like a garden variety narcotic? Short of snorting it to find out, (which, if you're truly that curious, then Godspeed), a recent report from the IOM finds that sodium is used to such harmful extents in restaurants and prepared foods that they're suggesting that the FDA become involved and enforce more rigid regulation nationwide. Naturally, certain people think that such a suggestion is long overdue, and others want it to go away.
The above illo is my first ever piece for The New Republic and collaboration with their longtime design director Joe Heroun.

Theres nothing new in my life ;) Well, i am writing code so far. And I am happy with myself to have so much learned about application design.
Here are some changes. I had to switch to a license by myself, as GPL allows commercial redistribution and i dont want that. If anyone knows an opensource license, that does not allow commercial redistribution but keeps the opensource idea, please tell me. holaCMS now features a brand new filemanager, as the old one was really bad in design. Having a manager for creating files, delete and images-upload and another manager to edit the content is a really bad idea. Too much time consumption. Also there is now voting and RSS included, lots of bugs fixed. I am really happy with this release. Until i will add new features to holaCMS 1.4.5 I will release a 1.4.4 version with lots of enhancements, tweaks and bugfixes.
I rewrote it using NetBeans on my MacOSX. And I finally found an embeddable database fitting my needs: HSDQLDB. Its completly in Java and I can access it via JDBC. The most important part is, that I can pass it without bothering the User with installation issues. Menu Thingy, Kennel creation and Adding and Listing Dogs in order by sex (tab panes) is now working too.
Gandalf left the team because of his lack of time. But goth and others are doing great work in FreeCNC now. I was planning to try out Stratagus with C&C graphics but i had no time left.
I always missed GQview on OSX. There was something similar but it was shareware and had imho a badly design surface. So i hacked together a Java Clone of GQView. It can do the basics :) jGQview Download, Screenshot.

Family: Alaudidae, Larks view all from this family
Description ADULT Has black mask, breast band, forecrown, and "horns"; face is otherwise yellowish. Underparts are whitish overall. Upperparts are sandy brown overall with rufous wash on shoulders and nape. Subspecies from interior are paler overall with "colder" sandy brown upperparts and only a hint of yellow wash on pale plumage elements of face. JUVENILE Speckled, with a hint of the adult's facial markings.
Dimensions Length: 7-8" (18-20 cm)
Habitat Common in open, barren habitats ranging from tundra and grassland to deserts. Present year-round, represented by some sedentary subspecies across much of U.S., but northern and tundra-breeding populations (including ssp. alpestris) move south for the winter.
Observation Tips Easy to locate and sometimes found in sizeable, mixed-species flocks in winter.
Range New England, Alaska, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic, Plains, Florida, Rocky Mountains, Great Lakes, Northwest, Eastern Canada, California, Texas, Western Canada, Southeast
Voice Flight calls include a thin tsee-titi; song is a series of tinkling notes, preceded by a few rasping chrrt notes.
Discussion Distinctive ground-dwelling songbird that is rather long-bodied and is recognized by its striking black and yellowish facial markings and "horn-like" head feathers; these features are particularly striking in summer males. Many subspecies exist in North America, differing in size, intensity of yellow on face, and shade of brown on upperparts; the ranges of some of these subspecies overlap in winter. Forms flocks outside the breeding season, sometimes mixing with longspurs. In flight, all birds show pale underwings. Sexes are similar, but females are duller than their respective subspecies male counterparts. Unless otherwise stated, ssp. alpestris, widespread in the northeast, is described below.

I am a digitabulist - a thimble collector. I have been collecting thimbles since 1976 and have my own newsletter called Thimble Guild. I started a local thimble collectors group, Thimbles Are Us, in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area in 1985. I was Second Vice-President of Thimble Collectors International from 1988 - 1992. I have been a guest speaker on thimbles at local collectors groups, womens groups and churches. I am knowledgable about sterling and gold thimbles made in the US as well as England, Germany, France, Russia, Norway and a few other countries. I am familiar with manufacturer`s marks and codes, assay marks and date marks and other unique marks meaningful to any thimble collector. I am knowledgeable of porcelain, china, brass, pewter, bronze, aluminum, plastic, silver plated, coin and base metal thimble marks. Some questions I might be asked...what makes a thimble valuable (scarce maker, desirable pattern, commemorative, etc.)...where can I find more information on thimbles... are there collectors groups out there...is there a newsletter for collectors...what books are available on the subject? I am very happy to share my knowledge with anyone but will not make appraisals. To do that, you must be able to look at the thimble in person. I have a friend that has a saying, A knowledgable collector is a wise collector. She is a wise collector. In 1992, at the TCI Convention in San Diego, CA, I was given the highest honor in the thimble collecting community. It is called the Myrtle Lundquist Award.

A BOGO coupon at Chick Fil-A, so mine was a #2 meal (deluxe chicken sangwich, waffle fries, fruit punch).
Went to a local place called Boomer's Drive-In and got the Combo #1 - Boomer Burger, waffle fries, and a shake (blackberry).
Couple of cheddar dogs and brat with yogurt parfait and some iced t.
School cancelled today (yay! ) due to fires and winds heading to the campus (boo! ), so lunch out was at The Hat: chili cheese fries, water (yay! ). I did NOT finish the fries (boo! ), so I have a meal again for later (yay! ).
Took my mom to Souplantation, the highlight was Cinco de Mayo nachos! Excellent, if runny, cheese sauce with a good spice and flavor to it; mediocre store-bought chips but oh well.
They also had Albondigas Locas soup (yay!) and Cheeseburger Mac & Cheese soup (eh) among the other things.
Had a twoish hour drive home after the marathon I did this morning, after about a half hour a hit up MacD's thinking I was hungry but I just couldn't eat much especially a full meal, roughly 45 minutes later I stopped at an AWESOME place in Milwaukee that has the BEST custard.

Visitors To Cuba From U.S. On Pace Not Seen Since The '50s.
As many as 400,000 U.S. citizens are expected to visit Cuba by year's end, Nick Miroff reports from Havana for NPR. That's five times more than in 2008, the year before the Obama administration lifted travel restrictions for those with family on the island, and a number not seen since before the Cuban revolution.
Nick says the boom has convinced Cuban officials to double capacity at one of the country's airport terminals. And now, scenes of "tearful Cuban emigres rushing to embrace their relatives, their baggage carts loaded with Santa-sized sacks of gifts," are common.
Reuters notes that since "more than 1,000 travelers from the United States are arriving every day ... Havana's long-time foe (is now) its second source of visitors after Canada."
Nick's going to have more on today's All Things Considered. Click here to find an NPR station that broadcasts or streams the show. While reporting, he spoke with 71-year-old Juan Francisco Hernandez, who now gets regular visits from a brother who lives in Miami. It would be a "huge benefit" to both Cuba and the U.S. if travel rules were further eased, Hernandez says (Nick provides the translation):

Family: Serranidae, Sea Basses view all from this family
Description The black sea bass (Centropristis striata) is an exclusively marine fish. It is a type of Grouper (Serranidae) found more commonly in northern than in southern ranges.
It inhabits the coasts from Maine to NE Florida and the eastern Gulf of Mexico. There are three large biomass populations of black sea bass: one off the coast of Georgia and South Carolina, one in the area of the Chesapeake Bay, and one off New York. They can be found in inshore waters (bays and sounds) and offshore in waters up to a depth of 130 m (425'). They spend most of their time close to the sea floor and are often congregated around bottom formations such as rocks, man-made reefs, wrecks, jetties, piers, and bridge pilings.
Dimensions Up to 24" (61 cm).
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows, Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida.

|Lines, Loops and Leaders Line / Leader Recipes, Loops, Splices, etc.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
slight variation
Try tying the loop knot a slightly differant way. Instead of starting with a simple overhand knot, start with a figure eight knot. When bring back the tag end, follow the incoming path (same with the free end of the cinch) . I would be interested to hear what you get if you run a similar test series.
Thats the one.
Now double up the overhand with a 'weave', and instead of using a simple clinch use either a nail knot with the tag over the mainline (easy with a double end needle) or tie the uni-knot to tie my proposed "improved" non-slip.
Or as many do if you have confidence in the standard non-slip stick with that. My experience has been less than acceptable when compared to the palomar when it comes to strength and durability but clearly others have a different view. I'll be able to do some industry testing in August to see which knots are scientifically stronger FWIW.
Millions still use the clinch and swear by it although it's clearly a weaker knot.
I'll still only use a loop in a small percentage of situations. When it comes to striper fishing, bonefishing, or other venues I can (and have) stood side by side with friends who are using a loop and I've caught as many or more fish with a fixed palomar knot and never feel it's the knot making a difference. Movement at the knot is just one tiny element of the angler's puzzle and I am not convinced it's all that critical with most flies that have active materials and designs.
Examples of flies where it might make a noticeable difference to fish are nylon braid body flies (which I never use due to stiffness), jiggy flies, hard poppers that ride stiff and those gummy sluggo imitations (I've never tried them so that's a guess).
Examples of flies where it probably makes very little are marabou, long materials, loop eye flies designed for fishing under current tension (e.g. turled), obviously tube flies, or essentially any fly that has a lot of resistance to push a lot of water due to the static tension that the bulk will create thus over-riding any freedom at the head.
Anyway I am very curious to see how our own knots fare in real testing machines.
|beau purvis
if i did this right,go to this site and look at the diagram of non slip loop knot.This is way I tie it.I found it makes a difference if you vary from the details of this.Beau
I've been trying to find a cheap/used tensile testing machine that we could do some serious trials on but no luck and the new rigs run a couple of grand. When people like Lefty say they have done this type of test I'm inclined to believe them, but it would be nice to see the results published.
If anyone knows of any sources on the web or in books, please shout. I'm talking about real stats - multiple trials - statistically significant sets of results etc.
To do this type of test justice would be a lot of effort but I think it would be very worthwhile. The absolute and relative performance of different knots on different brands of tippet, for different diameters would be extremely useful.
Maybe the manufacturers already do this?
Any engineering students (or better still teachers) out there with access to lab facilities? This would make a great college/high school applied physics project.
Great to hear you actually did some testing rather than relying on our own opinions. It is revealing isn't it?
Also the fact that the regular clinch broke the non-slip knot could likely be a sign of how the knot degrades with stress, it never broke on the first thrashing fish but it did after several for me.
There is a mix of objective and subjective in your analysis but what I have found putting preferences aside is that the palomar or trilene does not break off when holding the line where other knots often do.
The IGFA considers the palomor to be the strongest knot. I am trying to find out how they arrived at that decision...
Two-trial test: Clinch vs. Non-slip loop
Interesting and informative thread
I just did a two-trial test using 20 lb Trilene Big Game mono knotted to two 1/0 hooks hooked around two pen barrels and then pulled apart until something broke. First trial was an improved clinch knot (my usual knot) vs. a non-slip loop knot (the first I've tied in years, following the instructions from the first hit on Google: flyfishlouisania.com) The improved clinch knot failed at the knot. For the second trial, I used the existing non-slip loop knot and tied the broken end of the line back onto the second hook using a regular clinch knot because I didn't have enough tag end to do an improved clinch. This time the non-slip loop failed at the knot. Not exactly a controlled test with a sufficient number of trials, but I found the results interesting. More testing and results to follow.
Here's a little background info: For more than 30 years I have used the clinch knot or improved clinch knot to attach my line to the fly, swivel, hook or lure, with the only exception being that I would probably use a surgeon's loop to attach the line to a split-ring, punched metal lure or large-diameter hook (similar to a loop-to-loop connection: tie the loop, pass the loop through the split ring/eye, put the lure/hook back through the loop and seat the knot). I generally have good success with the improved clinch knot unless the line is old or abraded. I often use the same fly all day without retying. I usually use 20 lb fluoro in the salt and for carp, and I guarantee that I apply more than 8 lbs of pressure when necessary . In freshwater I do a lot of fishing with light tackle spinning gear and usually tie the line to a snap swivel (same connection as straight-eye hook) and regularly use the same swivel tied with the same improved clinch knot for multiple trips (3 or 4 or even more ), even with 6 lb test line. Without a doubt, regardless of equipment or type of knot used and excluding instances where the fish bites through the line or nicks/wraps the line on something, most of my line breakages occur while trying to land a fish by grabbing the line. I seldom have the line or knot fail in an open-water situation. Granted, when the line breaks it usually does occur at the knot unless the line was damaged ahead of the knot, but the clinch knot works just fine for me. I also use a blood knot for tippet/leader connections, which is basically two clinch knots against one-another, and those knots seldom fail. When I tie the clinch knot or blood knot, I wrap the tag end around the standing line, rather than twisting the loop to make the wraps. With a clinch knot I snug the knot carefully until it "rolls over" where the knot clinches the tag end (i.e., pull the standing line against the lure/fly until the knot starts to slip and then tightens down again, try it and you'll see what I mean). It's difficult to properly tighten the clinch knot when attaching heavy line to a small-diameter hook/swivel. You sometimes have to push the last wrap back over the line because it tries to go behind the hook eye, and you usually have to push the wraps down the standing line towards the eye as you tighten the knot. I don't worry about making the knot "roll over" with heavy line, especially when the hook or leader is likely to break before the tippet/hook connection.
FWIW, I have done some tests in the past with palomar knots and non-slip loop knots, and while I don't recall the specifics I do know that I decided that the clinch knot was much easier to tie and was just as good for my purposes.
Thanks Bob!
It's good to get some encouragement among the replies.
I am anxious to see how the scientific tests come out. I have contacted line companies to validate my results 'officially'.
You raise a good point, I'll have to try combinations to see if there is any correllation there.
|Bob Pauli
Terrific job! It is refreshing to get data, and your home tests are valid comparison data. The only suggestion I would offer for statistical significance would be to do each test a greater number of times.
Re usiing a needle for a nail knor or a uni-knot, a Geoff Wilson book illustrates that the unit-knot and nail knot are identical, tied by different methods. I proved this to myself by tying dozens of both with small diameter cord.
I wonder which change, the double overhand or the nail knot, conributed the most improvement?
Many thanks for this work, Juro.
I am too old to remember to re-tie
Not to deviate too much, but I suspect (a theory) that comparative knot strength of various knots may be a function of the brand and type of line. I remember a Stren salesman that would demonstrate that 10# regular Stren was stronger than 12# Trilene XT. He used a shock test to demonstrate. Under a steady load the XT was much stronger. Could be that some lines test at near 100% with the non-slip loop and other brands don't. The knot strength of various knots may be a function of the line used to tie them.
Geoff Wilson is probably the worlds best knot guy and I believe what he says. His fishing experience alone dwarf's most everyone I know. He says it is a 90% knot. I believe him and my results mirror its effectiveness. For trout flies most of the time you want a straight connection anyway, especially for dry flies. It is too easy to break 4 lb that an unscientific pull test using your hands means nothing.
One must also take into account that knots are not meant to be an all day affair. After each good fish you better retie and sharpen your hooks. It you do not you are only asking for trouble. Nowhere was this more apparent than earlier this season on the canal. Basser caught what was over a 40" fish. He eas using a slim beauty for his mono to braid connection on his spinning rig. The fish put up a good fight in the heavy canal current and was landed just fine. Next cast he hung up and the knot popped while he was barely applying pressure to try and free the hook. All knots loose effectiveness after being stretched by fish. You should have retied those knots,any number of them will fail after repeated strain.
|Dble Haul
If you can do it, how about something in the 20# range or higher? It seems from these discussions that many salt anglers use tippets in those strengths.
I don't use the loop knot for lighter lines because I'm using smaller flies at that point (trout, panfish, etc.) and I prefer something that cinches right up to the hook eye for those. I prefer not to use loops with smaller flies because sometimes the loop is almost as big as the fly, and I believe that can make the presentation a bit unnatural. So to answer your question, it doesn't have anything to do with strength.
Mark -
Hence the two lines, 4# and 15#. The purpose was to provide a sampling. Any additional lines you'd suggest would be good try.
If lighter lines do not get the loop, then is that because of some reason other than strength?
Jim -
Of course a doubled over knot would provide more strength, it's no longer a standard non-slip loop any longer. When I tried this the two loops around the eye were not even and it was far too obvious of a knot for the conditions I often fish so I did not mention it. The increase in bulk and visibility was pronounced. However it was quite strong.
Not to sound like a broken record but my point is when you double the jam overhand and improve the clasp component it really beefs up the strength without making the knot bulky and obvious.
Non-static stresses:
Now we're getting somewhere... the case I provided in the other post (striper section) was effectively the jerk test you mention.
I'll repeat - when wading far from shore, to remove a fish waist deep, to hold the fish by the line to put the thumb into the mouth of a striper as the fish thrashes. After a few of these POP went my standard loop knot. Hence I was motivated to seek a better mousetrap.
8# max?
The 8# pressure theory is hard to swallow. When I have a 38" fish roll back in the Nauset outgoing surf in a storm, or when I hook a fish of that caliber out on Big girl 4 hours into the ebb, or when I hook a slammer blue on a flat and it heads to the channel, or again when I try to thumb a fish while wading - there is a HELL of a lot more than 8# pressure on that knot if you ask me.
In the conditions as you cited, I agree completely. But when the continuum from drag to fly is interrupted by any number of factors the linkage is no longer pertinent; it's at these times that knots are truly tested IMHO.
Frankly the challenging replies only make me more cautious to evalute the idea more thoroughly. Keep em comin'
Use the knot that you are comforatble tying. Most flyfishermen will NEVER apply more than 8lbs of pressure on their tippet. In fact, the upper end of fly reels seldom go above 10lbs of drag. If you use 15lb tippet, you are not applying more than 60 per cent of the static break strength of that tippet. The exception is the jerk test. If you have the telltale curly Q at the tag end of the break, then the knot slipped. Not good. Experienced flyfishermen can apply more pressure, but they are the exception.
Here is an approach that provides a non-slip knot with a doubled main line thru the hook eye, like a palomar, but with a loop. Double over the tippet material, make an overhand knot in the doubled line, pass the doubled line thru the hook eye, back thru the overhand knot, wrap around the doubled standing line (3-5 times), back thru the overhand knot. Pull tag end to secure the barrel wraps against the overhand knot.
I tried this several times today. Looks good, but I have no idea of its breaking strength. The advantage I see to this knot is that it doubles the line thru the hook eye, and conceivably would provide added security.
|Dble Haul
Let me clarify....I've never had a failure with the knot at any strength of tippet, not just the heavy fluoro.
To your point regarding the use of four pound test tippet, I think that the test may be a bit moot to me because it doesn't reflect realistic conditions for the type of fishing that I do. For tippets that weak, I use knots other than loops.
Are we still talking about a saltwater knot here like in the thread that originated this subject, or have we moved on to a discussion encompassing all fishing situations? If we're still on the salt, then I would again have to say that four pound test is not realistic, although it might be more prone to showing differences in strength. But does that difference translate into higher pound test tippets?
Interesting discussion.
Indeed very few knots fail with 20# or 50# "tippet". In those strengths I'd have confidence in any legitimate knot.
I would say a more pertinent test would be say 4# monofilament and 12# or 15# flourocarbon which are probably the most common for freshwater trout and saltwater flyfishing.
I am trying to arrange actual testing of the lab variety. I might only be doing breakage tests at home but it's still a lot more than those who are posting are doing.
Now my curiosity is piqued, it will be fun.

Yet again, home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde left the government red-faced — this time by reading out the names of three minor girls raped and murdered in Bhandara district of Maharashtra last month.
Shinde committed the gaffe in Rajya Sabha on Friday while reading out his statement on the issue.
The blunder was pointed out by leader of the opposition, Arun Jaitley, who said criminal law prohibits revealing of names of dead rape victims unless their family gives consent for doing so.
He said, "In the home minister's statement, the names of all three victims have come in. I am sure it is an oversight… If what should not have been done has been done, he should withdraw his statement," Jaitley said.
Deputy chairperson PJ Kurien immediately directed the names be expunged from proceedings and asked the media not to publish them. Shinde was also apologetic, asking the names to be deleted from House records.
Later, he told reporters that he had ordered a probe into how the names had found their way into his statement.
But the minister's bad luck did not end here. More than an hour after the names were expunged, home ministry officials released his original statement — containing the victims' names — to the media.
The statement was hurriedly withdrawn from the government website once the officials realised their mistake.

Oil and gas leasing, lease negotiations, how to best deal with the oil and gas companies or their representatives, buying/selling mineral rights, forced-pooling, correlative rights, deeds and conveyances, and "post-production" costs. I am most experienced with Oklahoma properties and laws, but am able to answer questions concerning other oil and gas producing states in many cases.
I am a Certified Professional Mineral Manager (CMM) certified by the National Association of Royalty Owners (NARO) in Tulsa, OK. I am also a Registered Professional Landman (RPL) with the American Association of Professional Landmen (AAPL). I have managed my family's oil and gas properties in Oklahoma for over 10 years and have dealt with many landmen, title analysts, attorneys and other oil and gas professionals in the process. I have written articles of interest to mineral rights owners which have appeared in various industry magazines and newsletters. I have negotiated and drafted leases, prepared deeds, affidavits, and other legal instruments relating to my own minerals, as well as performed title, legal research, and curative work for same. I have acquired a good deal of knowledge on the subjects of oil and gas law, mineral appraisal, and land and title work over the past ten years, and have also worked as a professional landman. I've seen the business from "both sides" and therefore feel confident I can help out most of the folks who ask questions in this forum.

I've been seeing the Hyena Bomber and Swamp Speeder on shelves lately, but haven't been able to pull the trigger on them.
The Swamp Speeder I know why, it's a vehicle design I don't like, and Hasbro can't do miracles, they had to stick with it and could only add firing missiles which aren't my thing. I mean, the thing looks like a flying desk with a big fan in the back.
But the Hyena Bomber looks alright, and I just haven't been able to separate myself from the $25 in exchange for it. I think it's because it looks a little small and maybe a bit plain, but largely it's just because nobody's come out and said what they do and don't like about it.
So, what do you folks think about the Hyena Bomber? Was it money well spent or a disappointment? Do you display it in walker or flying mode? Is it a good size or too small? Flimsy or a good build, hefty?

But will not learn from the info passed back and forth ...That is what an open forum is for ...open debate and discussion...All we need to do is keep it civil and respect others views even if they are different from ours...After all there is more than one way to train a dog.....Steve S
"Your dog learns as much by doing his work right,by your praise and encouragement, as he does by your displeasure and correction." DLWalters
Pavlov is always on your shoulder. Classical conditioning is always in play. Classical conditioning is why your dog gets excited when you get out the guns and bumpers and e-collars.
In Bob Bailey's Fundamentals of Animal Training DVD he explains gives an example of how to tell if a behavior is operantly conditioned or classically conditioned.
"I want to go to the movies. There is no place you can hit me to make me want to go to the movies."
(Well he phrases it better than that I don't have the disc on hand to check)
Classical conditioning is always in play. But I'd say 90% of retriever training is operant conditioning, particularly because in so many cases we're fighting against the dog's natural inclination (prime example: cheating water/cover).
Most dog training is primarily operant. Only with aggression/fear/behavior problems of that ilk do you work primarily with classical conditioning, because you're working to change the dog's internal state.
Professional trainers would lack a job
If every hunter owned a tolling dog
W. Avery Nickerson
Professional trainers would lack a job
If every hunter owned a tolling dog
W. Avery Nickerson
At that point, the dog has the required Classical conditioning that it needs, in order for the collar to be applied to advanced handling.
The stim never means sit... unless it comes directly after a sit command...
It never means anything really. The commands we give, be they verbal or via body language are meaningful. The stim is simply there to be either escaped or avoided with compliance.
It is a re-enforcer and a punisher, but never, does it ever come to be a cue to an particular action.
At least not the way we train.
It most certainly can be used that way. If I only ever wanted one command I could turn the stim on, lure the dog into a sit position and turn it off... If I did this enough times without ever saying anything there would coma a time when I hit the button and the dog did the only thing he knew, in this case sit. We don't do it that way (hopefully). I suppose you could probably equate it to a number of commands just like we do treats, and occasionally get a dog that cycles through all known behaviors trying to turn the collar off. I think this is neat when it's to earn a treat, but I would never do it with a collar.
Because we use the collar to punish and or re-enforce a whole variety of behaviors, it never really signals anything, except that the dog needs to expediently do what he was commanded.

Darrin Greene
Collar conditioning, is not about shaping behavior.
It's about conditioning responses, to the specific aversive used.
The dog is already performing the behaviors, in response to the commands, prior to starting collar conditioning.
But, it won't respond correctly to the pressure applied by the collar, until it is classically conditioned to.
Dogs can be conditioned to respond a certain way in a certain context with the push of a button without a command or cue. When a dog is made responsible for a specific behavior and that behavior fails on cue with the context,,, a well conditioned dog will do what is needed to be done ,,,silently,,,with only stimulous to cause him to do the correct behavior
Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Psalms 12: 8
The wicked walk on every side when the vilest men are exulted
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

I made different clocks back in college - transformer to get voltage down to a rectifiable voltage to make DC, dividing down the mains to make 1Hz. One design had 60 LEDs in an outer circle for minutes, 12 in an inner circle for hours. Learned about switch bounce on that one too.I still have the board for it, covered in dust in a box, chips pulled out for a later project. The mix of hardware/software that uCs bring to the table make things a lot easier to bring to completion without a big pile of chips.
I don't understand how the digit function works either so I'll just have to keep at it.
for (byte i = 0; i < 7; i++) digitalWrite (pins [i], pat [i] ^ adjust);

I'm wearing a specially-designed, long-sleeved green t-shirt today as part of Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week here at Lehigh University. It's honestly not something that I think about enough, and in the midst of a very major decision that my family is making this week, it is giving me pause to realize just how much we have.
Here are some facts on the back of our t-shirts:
pounds of edible food are thrown away in the US per year 3,500,000
US residents experience homelessness in a given year
Americans are homeless in any given night
Dollars per year is the poverty line for a family of four
People worldwide die each day from hunger-related causes
Children a year are housed in a shelter in the Lehigh Valley
Hours a week must be worked at minimum wage to afford rent
Dollars a day are given to people relying on food stamps
Person needed to start a hunger revolution

- Description
This panorama is a mosaic of images taken by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on the NASA Mars rover Curiosity while the rover was working at a site called "Rocknest" in October and November 2012.
The center of the scene, looking eastward from Rocknest, includes the Point Lake area. After the component images for this scene were taken, Curiosity drove 83 feet (25.3 meters) on Nov. 18 from Rocknest to Point Lake. From Point Lake, the Mastcam is taking images for another detailed panoramic view of the area further east to help researchers identify candidate targets for the rover's first drilling into a rock.
The image has been white-balanced to show what the rocks and soils in it would look like if they were on Earth. Figure 1 is a raw-color version, showing what the scene looks like on Mars to the camera.
JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. JPL designed and built the rover.
More information about Curiosity is online at www.nasa.gov/msl and mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl /. Image Credit:

His contract is going to make a trade more difficult. The fact that teams know the Jests will cut him if they have to will also hurt any trade value. Considering those factors means he likely wont get the Jests as much as what they would get for him otherwise.
Im guessing some team will come off of some kind of compensation to prevent Sanchez from hitting the market and being able to sign with one of the other 2 or 3 teams who may be interested. But, these teams may also think it might be worth letting him hit the market because then they could sign him at a much cheaper price than what his current contract will pay him next season.
Its difficult to say for those reasons. I know there wont be more than 3 or 4 teams with interest. Im sure there are teams desperate for a QB though who feels like they might be able to turn things around for him. The fact that there simply arent many options in the draft this year helps Sanchez out.
Maybe a 4th rounder. Maybe. Perhaps a 3rd, but thats probably the max. If a team with a stadium and/or practice facility with a lot of trees around making for extra leaf blowing duties during the season is interested, they may be willing to part with a pick for him.

Vegetal Rug
Nanimarquina was founded in Barcelona in 1987, with one clear idea: to design rugs. It's a simple statement, a transparent declaration of intent that Nanimarquina has made a reality by putting into practice values such as observation, innovative endeavor, communication, emotion and knowing how to modernize traditional craftsmanship. Most Nanimarquina designs have been internationally acclaimed and have been presented in museums such as MOMA in New York and Centre Pompidou in Paris.
Conscious of the profound differences between developed and developing countries, Nanimarquina has always been directly involved in promoting sustainable development. Nanimarquina helps boost the local economies of their manufacturing communities in India, Morocco, Pakistan and Spain, and participates in their progress by offering decent, salaried work opportunities to the inhabitants of those areas.
Nanimarquina is committed to using natural, renewable and recyclable resources, such as wool, jute, cotton and silk. Traditional production methods and the use of renewable energy help to maintain and improve natural resources for use by future generations.
(Barcelona) After studying industrial design at the Escuela Massana of Barcelona and realizing the success of her first made-to-order textile designs, Nani Marquina embarked on a career of industrial design. She created her own business in 1987 (nanimarquina) dedicated to the design, creation and distribution of rugs and textile products for the home, which were based on values such as observation, innovation, enthusiasm and the ability to make craft traditions contemporary.
Nani Marquina has been recognized with many awards, including: the National Design Award and the Premi Cambra a la Gestió Empresarial (Chamber Award of Design Management) in 2005, as well as several nominations for the Príncipe Felipe Award for Company Excellence. Nani Marquina has also recently received the International Women's Entrepreneurial Challenge Award from the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, a personal achievement that led to the 2007 FIDEM Award for Entrepreneurial Woman of the Year. She has been the Chairwoman of ADP (Professional Design Association) since 2006.View other products by Nani Marquina
