Trans cooler hook-up???'s
I have a B&M trans cooler (the largest one they have) and was wanting to know the norm as far as hook up.
I have been told everything from let the hot fluid come into the rad and out to the cooler, and then out of cooler back into the trans.
And have been told let the hot fluid come into the cooler first cool down and the back into the rad to warm up again before it back into the trans because it might be too cool straight from the cooler and may cause problems.
My take is hot fluid into the rad out to the cooler and from cooler back into the trans.
Any comments? Better yet any HELP?
I don't know for sure, but I'll tell you what I would do.
I would put in the cooler before the rad. I'm always more worried about cooling the motor, and I would rather have cooler tranny fluid running through it rather than hotter. Just my opinion...
Proper installation is cooler before the radiator, the radiator unit also heats the fluid to the proper temp, too cold fluid is as damaging as too hot fluid!!
for maximum cooling run through the factory (radiator) cooler 1st then througt the b&m cooler that is mounted in front of the rad. or ac. cond. cooling the tran's oil too much will do no damage to the tran's.
Well that clears that up!
If the tranny fluid does not get hot enough to boil out the condensation , it can build up inside the tranny.
140-160* F will remove the condensation.
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
Well there is always someone out there to disagree with just about anything, veiwpoints are endless. All I will say is that all the coolers I have installed in 4x4's as part of any off-road packages at dealerships or for additional trans fluid cooling protection in cars have been installed after the radiator in the return line to the trans.
From a trans cooler kit... "A cooler will help your transmission's fluid temperature to stay between 160-200deg. so it will live a long and happy life. If the fluid exceeds that temp. range, it starts burning - and takes out the seals, bearings, and other internal trans parts." Installing the cooler before the radiator will not keep the fluid temp. in the suggested range of the cooler manufacture in a late model car that runs at 200* or hotter normally. That is why we install them on the return side and I have always installed them on the return side on all the cars I have ever installed coolers on with no negative side effects that I know of. The one manufacture that I have literature on claims a 20deg. drop in temp with cooler. If the fluid exits the radiator at approx. 190deg. it should drop to about 170deg. after the cooler. Like I said, just because in my mind it makes more sense to install the cooler on the return side doesn't mean someone else won't disagree.

Where installing the cooler before the radiator will reduce the temp going into the radiator, it also allows the radiator to maintian the heat needed for the trans fliud to remove the moisture. If the coolant is getting that hot in the radiator to overheat the trans fluid, you need to check the cooling system. Placing the cooler after the radiator, will allow the fluid to over cool in the winter in some areas.
As for what the manufacturer of the cooler says. I am sure they also said that there is no need for their product on a vehicle that suffers from no abuse.

Most light duty passenger cars and light trucks don't come with a factory installed axillary transmission cooler. These 'grocery getters' have a standard garden variety heat exchange system where the trans. fluid is passed thru a separate tank in the radiator and is subjected to the engine's "thermostatically controlled" coolant. No fins, no air flow, just a small tank. I'm sure the thought of maintaining ideal operational temp. parameters, to avoid any possible moisture in the system, was well thought out. This system works well for the street, but doesn't even begin to address the overheat problems that result, in most cases, from heavy trailer towing and street driven high stall speed torque converters. I've never heard of ANYONE complain about moisture building up in an automatic transmission as a direct result of an after market cooling system being too efficient. If this be the case, an aux cooling system probably isn't needed on that vehicle to begin with.
Where I come from, if a extra cooler is used at all, the trans. cooler located in the radiator is used for a primary cooler and the auxiliary cooler is plumbed to the return side. I guess with all the variables in question here, a trans. fluid temp gauge is the only way to eliminate all doubt. I don't run a gauge myself, but I can tell by putting my hand on the final cooler that my tranny's smilin' and I idle at 1000 with a 2500 stall..

Taiwan's exports to regain momentum in Q2
By Kathryn Chiu,The China Post Tuesday, January 28, 2014, 12:10 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Despite a high likelihood that Taiwan's exports will regain momentum in the second quarter of this year, some local economists predict that Taiwan's exports will face tough challenges unless they can catch up with global trends.
MOF statistics showed that Taiwan posted a 1.9-percent year-on-year export decline in December. Overall, Taiwan's exports saw a marginal 0.7-percent annual increase in 2013. The growth rate was slightly higher than the government-projected 0.4-percent growth.
Moreover, 2013's total export amount of US$303.2 billion was the second highest in history, and the annual trade surplus of US$33.1 billion was at an all-time high.
Yeh Maan-tzwu, director-general of the MOF's Statistics Department, said the downward trend in exports may continue in January, but it is expected to reverse itself in the second quarter.
Yeh told the Economic Daily that capital goods imports posted a 10.1-percent annual growth in December and a 13.1-percent increase from November.
Furthermore, she said, machinery exports amounted to US$1.88 billion in December, the second highest monthly record, indicating that the global economy is on track for a steady recovery.
"All these are encouraging signs that our exports will become stronger in the second quarter," Yeh forecast.
However, Liang Kuo-yuan, president of the Yuanta-Polaris Research Institute, said Taiwan's lackluster export performance could partly be attributed to sluggish growth in the world economy.
He cautioned that the global economy is undergoing fundamental changes. "We cannot afford to ignore this phenomenon," Liang said.
Pressing Challenges From Japan, South Korea
Liang said that South Korea has performed much better than Taiwan in exports, mainly because it has outpaced Taiwan in industrial upgrading and adjustment of its economic structure.
Basically, he said, Taiwan has not been proceeding smoothly in industrial upgrading and the fostering of new industries.
"These setbacks could pose threats to our future economic development," Liang said.
China Times reported that Chu Hao-min, a National Chengchi University professor, said Taiwan faces another challenge that should not be ignored: competition from China.
"Taiwanese and Chinese companies used to be complementary, but some of them are competing with each other now," Chu said, adding that Chinese companies are eroding Taiwan's market share in some areas. "We need to face up squarely to these new challenges," he said.
Taiwan's exports edged up a mere 0.7 percent in 2013, while neighboring South Korea posted a 2.2-percent annual growth.
Gordon Sun, director of the Macroeconomic Forecasting Center at the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research, said he is worried about the sharp depreciation of the yen, which has made local industries victims, in particular machine tool manufacturers.
Taiwan faces pressing challenges from Japan and South Korea at a time when the country is eager to grasp a larger share of the export market, economists said.
The Japanese yen has depreciated against the U.S. dollar much more than the Taiwan dollar has against the greenback in the past year, which has made Taiwanese-made goods less competitive in the global market compared with their Japanese counterparts, economists said.
South Korea is gearing up to sign free trade agreements with its major trading partners in an attempt to win preferential tariff status to fend off competition from its rivals, they added.

good shot of turbo tipple. this goes to the "IN" side of the MBC.
This is a discussion on MBC Install Instructions [PICS] within the Engine Performance forums, part of the Tutorials & DIY category; good shot of turbo tipple. this goes to the "IN" side of the MBC. dR...
good shot of turbo tipple. this goes to the "IN" side of the MBC.
here's a good shot of the wastegate actuator side, this should come from the "OUT" side of the MBC.
thanks gifty for hte great pics w/ descriptions.
Has anyone heard that instead of putting a bolt in the line to the FBC you just take the OEM vac lines from the turbo, and the wastegate, and then connect them together with a vac connector 'closing the loop'? Will this do anything differently? I believe I heard this from TXS...
'12 WRB Sedan
I've been driving my car with a TurboXS manual boost controller for the last few months and took it off to trade for an up pipe today since I'm going to get a Cobb reflash soon. I bought the MBC used and without instructions, and couldn't really find a guide that made it clear what to do. So I got out my camera and took pictures as I took it out today.
1) This is the t-fitting for the stock MBC. You'll want to hang on to these vacuum hoses and not use them with your MBC as there is a restrictor in them.
2) The first hose is connected to the turbo outlet. The hose is 3/16". It'll fit pretty tight, but make sure you use a hose clamp to hold it on. This one was kind of a pain to tighten, especially with the turbo and the manifold still hot since it had only been sitting for about 45 minutes.
3) The second hose, connected to the wastegate actuator. Same thing -- 3/16, hoseclamp.
Last edited by qoncept; 01-21-2004 at 04:07 PM.
4) Finally, find a place to mount your MBC. I opted to put mine over by the stock boost controller, and to remind myself that it was only a temporary solution, I simply mounted it with a zip tie.
On my Turbo XS MBC, the first hose (turbo outlet) goes to the nipple on the side of the MBC, opposite the brass adjustment screw. The second, from the wastegate actuator, connects to the bottom nipple.
To adjust, use an allen key to tighten the top screw CLOCKWISE until it's all the way closed. I believe "all the way closed" is something like 7psi. Then turn it COUNTER CLOCKWISE a turn and a half at a time to get close to the boost you'd like, and be mindful of your driving.
This is the best guide for an mbc i've seen, might need to be sticked or something in the tutorial section also.
I got a JoeP-Z and was wondering on the adjustment part of this thread, do you want it all the way in on all MBC's, or will it vary? Thanks
living la Vida with out the Loca
All the way in will give you wastegate pressure, which is around 7psi. Opening it will progressively increase. HTH ::]Originally posted by shift_rex

Hey qconcept very good pics and explanation. All the way in leaves the pressure in your lines at what they would be stock so ur wastegate will open at the same time. Basically all a Manual Boost Controller is, is a bleeder valve that as you open it up farther it lets more pressure out of the lines which causes more boost to be built up to actuate the wastegate. Just dont open it all the way or u might have some problems after a while;-)
Hello guys i need some help iv just installed a turbosmart boost tap into my 94 wrx and its hitting boost cut at around 10 to 12 psi
and when i try to disable the factory boost solinoids my engine check light comes on and it cuts at 7psi
iv tried unpluging them so theres no signal to the ecu but it still wont boost above 10psi i want to be running around 14.5-16psi
any help would be awsome thanks alot

Clickjacking describes a Web page / browser attack where user initiated mouse clicks trigger an unintended action, such as disclosing passwords and other confidential information. This action is done primarily by hiding clickable Web page elements inside an invisible frame. Clickjacking can affect all the major Web browsers — Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and even Opera by exploiting vulnerabilities in embedded code or a script on a Web site.
For example, the attacker may create a set of "dummy" buttons that are loaded transparently on top of another page. The visitor thinks that they are clicking on the visible buttons when, in reality, they clicking on the buttons located on the hidden page. Another technique is known as text injection, where attacker controlled text is entered into a field on a Web form.
One of the more recent clickjacking attacks was made on Facebook in 2009.
In a recent white paper, Paul Stone, researcher for UK-based Context Information Security LTD, discusses new attacks that dupe users into activating malicious links on websites without their even knowing it. website developers should read the paper. There is also a browser-based clickjacking tool available to show website owners how easy their site could be clickjacked.
While much of the management against the risk against clickjacking involves best practices by site developers, there are a few things the Web user can do.
Internet Explorer 8 users can also mitigate the impact of attacks by logging out of sensitive websites when not in use or by using independent InPrivate Browsing sessions, which lets the user control whether or not IE saves browsing history, cookies, and other data.
Google Chrome now supports a security feature that helps sites defend against clickjacking attacks
While not immune to clickjacking attacks, Opera appears to have a decent built-in prevention.

Your description of the display is incorrect. An "RGB LED" display like this one is identical to any other LED-backlit LCD display, except it uses seperate red, green, and blue LEDs, instead of the typical one-LED "blue-plus-phosphor" approach to generating white light. That gives a more accurate white light at the cost of great lightguide complexity. Displays using red, green, and blue LEDs for each pixel do exist, but they're the "jumbotron" kind of displays used for advertising and news in train stations etc. Shrinking down such a display to the size of a 16-inch laptop would cost many orders of magnitude more than the equivalent OLED display, never mind a conventional LCD.
Does RGB LCD mean that blacks are going to be 100% black on the screen and contrast ratio is going to be really, really close to infinity?
"Does RGB LCD mean that blacks are going to be 100% black on the screen and contrast ratio is going to be really, really close to infinity?"
No - you need local dimming LEDs for that, which this laptop doesn't have (and nor does any other laptop currently in production, AFAIK). This just has a normal flat backlight which happens to be provided by separate red, green and blue LEDs rather than white LEDs or one or more cold cathode fluorescent lights. The separate RGB LEDs provide a wider colour gamut, but they don't (as the article originally incorrectly suggested - I think it has been rectified now) individually light each pixel.
@sockatume - You are of course right. The concept of RBG LED is to produce a completely clean, white light, and ultimately improve colour fidelity. Screens like this usually use a matrix of LEDs to create more even contrast and colour purity too. Thanks for the spot - review updated.
No bother, it's an easy mistake to make given the sort of marketing RGB LED has been getting. Of course, in a couple of years we'll probably be seeing OLED displays in laptops, and then we really will have the truly black displays that Лис looks for.
Thanks guys, been waiting for your review!
It's unfortunate tho, that I just had to cancel my order due to shocking delivery times. My delivery by - date was moved three times, and I've been waiting for almost two months now, with the new date still 2-3 weeks out..
Being a huge movie buff and casual photographer I was really looking forward to the screen! Sorry Dell, but your time taking has "forced" me to join El Jobso's camp.
"Dell has chosen not to include any kind of mid/low-range sub-woofer underneath the machine."
Actually, 1640 has a subwoofer, albeit a poor one.
From Dell's official description page: http://www1.ap.dell.com/con...
Cinematic sound
For extraordinary sound quality, the Studio XPS 16 has premium speakers with an integrated subwoofer and 5.1 Dolby® Digital outputs.
Would I be able to connect a dell 30" monitor to the laptop. I'm aware you can get HDMI -> Dual Link DVI-I adapters, but can they support 2560 x 1600 resolutions @ 32bit colour?
I see everyone seems to be going for that piano black//digital picture frame bezel that the MacBooks have been touting.

North Adams Man Catches 23-Pound Bass in Tourney
|North Adams resident Andrew Bostwick shows off the 23.12-pound bass he caught in the Hudson River in Troy, N.Y., that netted him second place in the Ale House Striped Bass Tournament on Saturday, May 3.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Andrew Bostwick was 10 minutes away from glory.
Instead, he had to settle for $700 and more than 20 pounds of fish to deep-fry in beer batter.
Bostwick, a North Adams native, participated in the ninth annual Ale House Striped Bass Tournament in Troy, N.Y., on Saturday. Last year, his first attempt in the tournament, one of his boat-mates came in third. This year, he came in second — after leading most of the tournament.
Recounting the scene on Monday, Bostwick said he had the biggest fish — a 23.12-pounder that was 36.25 inches long — until right near the end of the contest, when he watched Bill Peaslee of West Sand Lake, N.Y., reel in a 32.1-pounder that was 41 inches long.
"I was like, are you kidding me?" Bostwick said Monday when he came into the iBerkshires office to show off his pictures, sporting several fish tattoos on his arms and an appropriate "Sharks" ballcap on his head.
Bostwick didn't claim to have caught any sharks in these waters, but he said he does catch a lot of large fish right here in the Berkshires, including the Hoosic River.
"I catch 7- to 8-pound trout in the river," he said.
Bostwick said he has been fishing his whole life and likes to enter tournaments all around the region. In 2001, he set a Massachusetts state record for catching an 18.2-pound channel cat in Windsor Pond in Savoy.
For second place in Saturday's tournament, he did get the $700 prize, plenty of fish fillets (already made and eaten) and the fun of doing something he loves. While the cool mid-spring day on the Hudson River started and ended rainy and chilly, the sun broke out in the middle, warming up the 165 fisherman whose entry fees went to support Military Moms in Action, a charity that sends boxes of treats to soldiers overseas, and the Troy Flag Day parade.
"It got hot out there," Bostwick said.

Thank you for your site. Currently your Pizza Sauce is cooking in the 8 quart crockpot, which we use for all the 'tomato sauce' recipes. I plan to can some and freeze several portions.
Have a great day and enjoy the beauty of South Dakota.

Von Metzke "groomed" underaged girls by texting
Teens reported him, but theatre slow to act
Don Bauder 2 p.m., June 25
"I know firsthand what it's like to be young and without a roof over my head," Jewel told members of the House of Representatives on Tuesday, June 19. She testified at a hearing on "the crisis of youth homelessness, disconnected youth, and youth aging out of foster care."
"I'm blessed that my own story has had such a positive ending," she told the subcommittee. "But the same cannot be said for the over one million kids out there on the streets who are at risk and have no voice in society."
Jewel says she ran away from home at 15 and lived in a van while playing San Diego coffeehouses.
"I can't tell you how many times I was propositioned [to be a prostitute]," she said on camera while on Capitol Hill.

Now, some of you might be wondering: why would I need a headphone amp? After all, don't most DAPs and PMPs have enough power at their disposal to run most headphones without amplification, and isn't it A VERY BAD THING to turn your headphones up too loud? Well, yes and no. First, depending on impedance and sensitivity, some headphones need more power than others to run at the same perceived volume level. Secondly, PMPs and DAPs vary in terms of output power, and size isn't any indication.
For instance, the Sansa Clip or Samsung YP-P3 pump out enough juice to get a big sound from most sensible pairs of headphones, but many Apple players, some Sony models and most iPod shuffle type players are a bit more restrained in their output.
Plug in some high-impedance in-ear 'phones or a pair of over-the-ear cans and many players struggle to create a decent sound. The result is that you pump up the volume levels, pushing the amplification circuitry in your player too hard. The sound compresses, and you're not really getting the full potential from either your headphones or your player. Keeping the volume levels on your player to a moderate setting and letting an outboard amplifier do the work can be a better idea.
The knock-on effect of this is that the little FiiO can be a fantastic addition to your portable audio setup, though a lot depends on what player and headphones you are using. During the last few days I've tried it out on three different players - a first-gen iPod touch, a Samsung YP-Q1 and an iRiver T7 - with a bewildering variety of headphones.
i vote for an "audiophile" subsection here.
Thirded. Even though I'm not an audiophile.
Fourthed? I'd call it flac though, seeing how this is the mp3 section =p
Heh, this was not a review I was expecting to see here today, good work chaps.
Shouldn't you be dead? But yes, we're trying to up the variety a bit.
Yes, unexpected but great a review. Based on this, I immediately checked a Finnish auctionsite for FiiO products, and I got very lucky, now I'm waiting for my E5! (I'm thinking it will fit perfectly for my workout rig, with iriver H320 and Sennheiser CX 380 Sport II IEMs)
It's a great amp for a Sansa Clip and Phonak Audéo combo.
Nice but one HUGE problem...... in fact huge is an understatement unless I'm missing something. Read on.
Saw the review and thought a good impulse buy so why not. Arrived today and I now see the recommended retailer is out of stock so well done TrustedReveiws on creating the business.
Plugged it in with my Bose on ear phones and there is a noticable difference. Well pleased! However, there is a HUGE problem.... almost of the gargantuan proportions of the new iPod shuffle having prorietary headphones and no buttons. The retailer says this on their site:
Ultra small, lightweight design for MP3 player, laptop or mobile phone.
So why does my iPhone interfere with it? Almost permanent interference when browsing the web even holding it as far away as the cable will reach. Surely this is a major design flaw? I can't beleive it's not magnetically shielded!
the amp wouldn't be magnetically shielded - most aren't. my graham slee voyager doesn't seem to be, and i paid a lot more for that than you did - even used.
For all your equipment, I can't believe you're using an iPhone in conjunction.
iPhone's frequency range sucks. While it isn't the worse, there have been much better. Like, the 5800, with that incredibly smooth frequency curve, or the Xperia X1, just to name a few.
Why wouldn't an amp be shielded? All decent iPod/iPhone docks are because they "have" to be. I know this is a cheap device but it claims compatibility with mobile phones and to me they have made a false claim.
Having looked on the forums I see people have complained about the E3 hoping the E5 would be better, and even the Voyager is prone to interference. I almost bought a Voyager too so glad i didn't now.
With respect to those complaining about my poor audio source I use an iPhone as a single covenient day to day device especially at work to drown out the open plan noise. At home I listen to a Marantz CD63 KI Signature & Sonos, Audiolab 8000A, and HD600 cans. A little old I know but might try a Vogayer with this setup. The E5 offers slight improvement on HD600 + iPhone but not enough to be good enough.
The Xperia X1? Are you kidding me? That thing sounds awful. It's plagued by background hiss for a start.
Perhaps you need to get another Xperia...
Has anyone used this amp with Denon AH-C551's ? I know the author of the above review didn't think the sound was great. Also how about Grado SR80's ? I currently use a little dot micro + but it's a little too bulky for using on the go.
I just received this amp in the mail (payed $25 for it) and I have to say it's great!
This is my frst time using a headphone amp and the sound quality difference is very noticeable.
The bass boost works really well and all of my music just sounds so much more alive.
I'm using a Sansa Clip + with Sony MDR AS50G headphones on the go and then Shure SRH440 at home.
Really well worth the money, wasn't sure I'd go for it, but I'm glad I did.
can i use this for my razer tiamat 2.2 then connect to pc ? need rep ty

back in 2005 there was a post here about a thigh holster for a "super shorty" shotgun. I know that there are holsters to carry it on your back, but that isn't what i'm after.
the gun is 16.5 inches total lagnth with a 6.5 inch barrel.
apparently, the guy that made these holsters no longer does.
I want one to carry the super shorty under a black full legnth drover (for "special" occasions):wink:
any one know of any available?
anyone have one that I could get measurements from?

Oil fired,..??
The make-up water pressure regulator could be bad,...
The pressure tank could be bad,...
What pressures are We talkin',..??
Ya got any pictures of the near boiler plumbin',..??
Sometimes if you whisper softly to it but usually draining water from drain does the trick.
The real question is what pressure do you have in it?
Does it vary from being hot to being cold?
How high above the boiler is the highest radiator in your home?
Does one half of your expansion tank sound empty when you tap it?
Is your pressure releif valve venting.
What temp is the water showing when operating.

Thanks man!
The guitar is going through my loyal TC electronic VPD1 , into a line 6 UX2 , and in the DAW I have nothing except a small touch of EQ in some of the tracks, to remove some low end rumble.
I do love iZotope Trash though. You can create some seriously aggressive sounding stuff with it. It's lovely. I just don't have it in my DAW at the moment. :>
Thanks Sky

NGB encodes an oxygen-binding protein that is distantly related to members of the globin gene family. Additionally we are shipping Neuroglobin Antibodies (85) and Neuroglobin Kits (48) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 10 out of 24 products:
Human Neuroglobin Protein expressed in Wheat germ - ABIN1312525
Powers: p53-mediated apoptosis, neuroglobin overexpression, and globin deposits in a patient with hereditary ferritinopathy. in Journal of neuropathology and experimental neurology 2006
Ngb expression is limited to the subpopulation of typ (show UBXN11 Proteins)e I spiral ganglion cells, those which innervate inner hair cell (show UBXN11 Proteins)s, while the subpopulation of type II spiral ganglion cells which innervate the outer hair cells do not express Ngb. The cochlear nuclei and superior olivary complex (SOC) also express considerable amounts of Ngb.
Ngb functions as a metabolic regulator and enhances cellular anabolism through the inhibition of AMPK (show PRKAA1 Proteins) signaling.
Data show that the neuroglobin (Ngb) protein was downregulated in the retinal ganglion cells after optic nerve injury.
Overexpression of neuroglobin reduced sensorimotor deficits following TBI (show TBPL1 Proteins). An endogenous increase in neuroglobin expression occurs during the subacute period. Increasing neuroglobin expression during the acute period after TBI (show TBPL1 Proteins) may improve recovery.
reflect lesser perturbations produced by acute inhalation of combustion smoke in the Ngb overexpressing mouse, suggesting that Ngb mitigates mitochondrial dysfunction and neurotoxicity and raises the threshold of smoke inhalation-induced brain injury
A critical role for neuroglobin is demonstrated via its differential interaction with phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and Akt during neurite induction.
Neuroglobin overexpression resulted in a significant reduction in infarct volume 24 hours after brain ischemia.
Ngb overexpression can inhibit oxygen-glucose deprivation-induced mitochondria permeability transition opening in primary cultured mouse cortical
CREB (show CREB1 Proteins) may also mediate transcriptional regulation of neuroglobin gene.
Ngb deficiency neither affected the level of Melanopsin (show OPN4 Proteins) and Tyrosine Hydroxylase (show TH Proteins) proteins nor the intactness of PACAP (show ADCYAP1 Proteins)-positive retinohypothalamic projections in the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
NO oxidation kinetics at physiological NO concentrations. The use of a polarized electrode to efficiently interconvert the ferric (Fe(3+)) and ferrous (Fe(2+)) forms of an immobilized NGB (show GTPBP4 Proteins) showed that the disulfide bridge both defines the kinetics of NO dioxygenase activity and regulates appearance of the free ferrous deoxy-NGB (show GTPBP4 Proteins), which is the redox active form of the protein in contrast to oxy (show GCG Proteins)-NGB (show GTPBP4 Proteins).
Taken together, this work support the first evidence that Ngb (show GTPBP4 Proteins) can be potentially used as a promising biomarker and target for novel treatment of human glioma
The cochlear nuclei and superior olivary complex (SOC (show UBXN11 Proteins)) also express considerable amounts of Ngb (show GTPBP4 Proteins). Within the human SOC (show UBXN11 Proteins), many medial superior olive neurons, and scattered neurons in the LSO, were Ngb (show GTPBP4 Proteins)-immunoreactive
Study characterized the presence of Ngb (show GTPBP4 Proteins) in the human cochlea
Data show that the mean peak serum neuroglobin and Nogo-A (show RTN4 Proteins) concentrations were both significantly higher in patients with an unfavorable outcome at 6 months after traumatic brain injury (TBI (show TBPL1 Proteins)).
Neuroglobin player role in estrogen receptor alpha (show ESR1 Proteins)-positive cancer cell viability.
a mechanism for redox control of human Ngb (show GTPBP4 Proteins) (hNgb) activity
17beta-estradiol-induced NGB (show GTPBP4 Proteins) up-regulation could act as an oxidative stress sensor, which does not oppose to the pro-apoptotic 17beta-estradiol effect in ER beta (show ESR2 Proteins)-containing colon cancer cells unless a rise of oxidative stress occurs.
first X-ray structure of wild-type human neuroglobin is reported at 1.74 A resolution
Glu60 of human Ngb (show GTPBP4 Proteins) is a crucial residue for its GDI and neuroprotective activities
Constitutive expression levels of neuroglobin in neonatal brain cells may explain mild neuronal injury after 60 min. of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
Ngb overexpression may have potential therapeutic benefits for both reducing secondary damages and improving the outcomes after traumatic spinal cord injury
The zebrafish Neuroglobin can catalyze the reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide with a broad range of reaction rate constants.
Data show that the neuroglobin (Ngb) protein was upregulated in the amacrine cells after optic nerve injury.
Chimeric Myoglobin (show MB Proteins) has a cell-membrane-penetrating activity similar to zebrafish Ngb.
Neuroglobin appears to be associated with mitochondria-rich cell types and thus oxygen consumption rates, suggesting a myoglobin (show MB Proteins)-like function of this protein in facilitated oxygen diffusion
both zebrafish and chimeric ZHHH Ngb can penetrate cell membranes in the absence of Chariot
This gene encodes an oxygen-binding protein that is distantly related to members of the globin gene family. It is highly conserved among other vertebrates. It is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system where it may be involved in increasing oxygen availability and providing protection under hypoxic/ischemic conditions.

Iron ore hits 3-month high in slow climb, firm China buying
* Vale has sold 1.8 mln T iron ore to China since Oct. 29-trader * Port Hedland shipments to China up 16.5 pct in Oct * China iron ore port stocks fall for 4th week in a row By Manolo Serapio Jr SINGAPORE, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Benchmark iron ore touched three-month highs of above $120 a tonne on sustained buying interest from Chinese steelmakers refilling raw material inventories, although the slow increase in prices suggests mills were in no rush to stock up. Market participants were keen on what China's leadership change, which is happening later this week, has in store for the economy and its vast steel sector, with some hoping for pro-growth measures to be introduced to boost demand in the world's biggest steel consumer. Iron ore with 62 percent iron content .IO62-CNI=SI, the industry benchmark, gained 0.3 percent to $120.50 a tonne on Monday, the highest since July 24, based on data from Steel Index. The price first hit three-month peaks on Thursday, before slipping on Friday and regaining ground on Monday, reflecting a largely stable market backed by Chinese buying. "We're seeing a balanced market. Buyers are in no rush to buy but they will take cargoes if the prices are not too high," said an iron ore trader in Shanghai. "On the other side, it's difficult for miners to push up prices in a big way given how fragile demand is at the moment." Price offers for imported cargoes in China were unchanged, although traders say some mills are snapping up fresh seaborne shipments versus cheaper port stocks. "There could be a temporary shortage of certain iron ore grades at the ports, that why even if there's a $1-$2 gap between new cargoes and port stocks, the buying interest for seaborne is higher," said another Shanghai-based trader. Inventories of iron ore at major Chinese ports fell last week for a fourth week running, standing at 93.3 million tonnes SH-TOT-IRONINV, data from Chinese consultancy Steelhome showed. Top iron ore miner Vale has sold several cargoes on the spot market, totalling 1.8 million tonnes since late October, the second trader said. Vale is selling two more on Tuesday - a 176,000-tonne cargo of 64-percent grade iron ore pellets and 146,000 tonnes of 62.8-percent iron ore fines, traders said. Most of those shipments, including cargoes from BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto , were sold at prices either slightly firmer than previous tenders or little changed, traders said. Iron ore shipments to China from Australia's Port Hedland rose 16.5 percent to 17.63 million tonnes in October from September, port authority data showed. "We have sold almost one third of our stocks," said the first trader whose company has slightly more than 200,000 tonnes of iron ore cargoes at Chinese ports. "We are still staying away from new purchases. We want to see what happens to China after the leadership change." Ahead of China's leadership transition, investors were also exercising caution before Tuesday's U.S. presidential election, with most commodity prices, including Shanghai steel, trapped in narrow ranges. Shanghai rebar futures were down 0.3 percent at 3,631 yuan ($580) a tonne by the midday break.

Player's website plea to calm Balkan fans
AMER DELIC last night moved to calm his rowdy Bosnian fans ahead of tomorrow's third-round clash with Serbian Novak Djokovic.
Delic, who yesterday toppled Paul-Henri Mathieu in his second five-set match, planned to post a message on his website urging fans to settle down. Extra security was required at his match when a group of Serbian supporters turned up after watching countryman Janko Tipsarevic lose to Croatian 19th seed Marin Cilic.
"I'm going to try and tell my fans that we don't need to be embarrassing ourselves in front of the world, and I'm hoping Novak says something to the Serbian fans also, to leave the politics aside," said Delic, a naturalised American who has lived in the US since he was 14.
"It's not my fault and it's not Novak's fault, we're out here playing tennis and we need to keep it that way, so I'm going to try and address it somehow. I have a website, so I'm going to put a message on there and I know some of them follow it."
Tipsarevic had to twice ask his fans not to verbally abuse his opponent Cilic yesterday.
"Both Serbs and Croats were a little bit incorrect, singing songs that had nothing to do with tennis because of the history we have with each other," Tipsarevic said.
"I think two or three times I even said to the Serbian crowd, 'don't call him names, it's OK to cheer for me but don't say bad things about him'."
After the game, as supporters exited the show court, they stood face-to-face where each group yelled a loud chant before turning to leave in separate directions followed by police and security guards, anxious to avert a repeat of the 2007 fights between the fierce Balkan foes.
Peace prevailed until shortly after the match, when several fans scuffled in a bar in Garden Square. Police and security intervened and ejected two men.

Federal health officials are preparing a plan to study a bold new strategy to stop the spread of the AIDS virus: routinely testing virtually every adult in a community, and promptly treating those found to be infected.
The strategy is called "test and treat," and officials say the two sites for the three-year study will be the District of Columbia and the Bronx — locales with some of the nation's highest rates of infection with human immunodeficiency virus.
The officials emphasize that this is just a first step. The goal is not to measure whether "test and treat" actually works to slow an epidemic, but whether such a strategy can even be carried out, given the many barriers to being tested and getting medical care.

'Dogs Ready For a Battle In The Paint
March 22, 2013
By Jason Clay
By Jason Clay
LUBBOCK, Texas - At Friday's press conference previewing Fresno State's first round matchup vs. No. 6-ranked Cal in the 2013 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship here at United Spirit Arena, Bulldog head Raegan Pebley was asked what they need to do to stop Cal's inside presence.
Her answer: "Who has stopped them this year," Pebley questioned. "I mean Stanford was able to do it once and UCLA was able to do it once but, they're just that good."
Despite the high praises and respect Pebley and the Bulldogs have for the Bears, Fresno State enters its sixth-straight NCAA Tournament with a lot of confidence.
The Bulldogs have won seven-straight and 14 out of their last 16 games. Fresno State's mission all season has been to win a game in the NCAA Tournament and the team knows in order to do that it will have to perform at a high level, not just inside and on the glass, but all across the floor for 40 minutes.
"Definitely having the last three years as experience is a confidence booster for us," said guard Rosie Moult, who with Jeanna Furst comprise the winningest senior class in school history. "We know what to expect; the level of intensity and game play just increases a lot once you get to this level. So yeah, we will have a lot of confidence coming into this game."
Cal, entering the tournament with a 28-3 overall record, ranks third nationally with a rebounding margin of +11.6. Bear post players Talia Caldwell and Gennifer Brandon have combined for 1,952 rebounds in their careers. Brandon averaged 12.3 points and a team-best 11.2 rebounds this season while Caldwell averaged 9.2 points and 7.4 rebounds.
"We have to focus a lot of attention on them," Moult said of Cal's post players. "We have to make sure we box out and get good box outs early because they are a good second shot team. So we have to make sure the guards do their job and contain the guards from the outside and then we just have to make sure we are as physical as possible down below."
Pebley and the 'Dogs have a plan on how to defend the post.
"If you focus just on those [post] players themselves then you are missing how they are getting the ball," Pebley said. "Our focus is really how to stop how they get the ball. Putting our post defenders in a situation where they can be most successful is going to put a lot of ownership on our perimeter and it's going to come down to really just what we feel has been our strength all season: just our heart and belief and tenacity and us being us.
"I don't think we're going to change who we are now that we're in the NCAA Tournament just because we are seeing Cal. We are going to still be us so that we can be our most confident."
Fresno State (24-8) has faced other top rebounding teams that had skilled post players.
In the season opener at then fourth-ranked Stanford, the Bulldogs out-boarded the Cardinal by four, but gave up 40 points in the paint in the 72-61 loss. Then in the first of three meetings against Wyoming, who ranks 12th nationally in rebounding margin, Fresno State was out-rebounded by 17 in a loss on the road.
Fresno State came back in the second meeting to out-rebound the Cowgirls by four in a 14-point win. Going through those experiences in the regular season will help the Bulldogs on Saturday against Cal.
"It's going to be challenging but it's a really good match up for us," Bulldog forward Alex Sheedy said. "They're really physical and they're really aggressive team, but so are we so I think that we need to just keep playing the way that we've been playing."
One of Fresno State's greatest strength - its pressure defense that forces 20.1 turnovers per game - can also help the Bulldogs out as they look to pick up their first NCAA Tournament win in program history.
"They press well and they have changed up their defensive scheme a lot," Caldwell said of the Bulldogs. "We expect them to show us a lot of different looks, they are a very versatile team."
Cal also enters the game with a good amount of respect for the Bulldogs.
"I don't think they seem like a 15 seed, they are really good for a lot of different reasons," Bear head coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. First off these are not players that are unaccustomed to being in the NCAA Tournament; they have been here a couple times. I don't think they are going to be overwhelmed. I think they are trying to win a game, not happy to be here."
In the end, what Saturday's first round matchup is going to come down to is what team can execute their game plan the best.
"As Rosie said you want to be confident in this situation but, you know it's a higher level of play and you just have to take it up a notch," Pebley said.

Gel Application
Quick question as I am getting ready for my day...
When you apply gel, do you get better results if you scrunch in, or rake it in? I keep going back and forth on this lately!
I do both. First I rake it through dripping wet hair, then I scrunch to get the curl back in. I finbd I don't get good enough distribution if I only scrunch.
Scrunching has always worked better for me. My biggest issue with gel, though is that it seems to take SO much longer for my hair to dry than with other stylers.
I comb it through with a wide-toothed comb, then scrunch the curl back in. I thought combing would pull out the curl, but it actually improves them. Maybe by distributing the gel better?
I smooth it on in sections, then scrunch it. My curls are pretty skinny to begin with and raking anything through them makes them downright stringy.
I do both. I rake it in to make sure it's evenly distributed, then scrunch my hair. If I just scrunch, I end up with globs of hair that have way more gel than the rest of my hair.
Only scrunching for me, raking makes mine too stringy.
I normally smooth mine in and scrunch it in random places where it's less curly (my 3B parts).
i smooth then scrunch, it gives me good curls and product distribution :)
After previewing that, it almost sounds like I'm defeating the whole method :lol:. My hair tends to clump in the back/underside, so doing that last step helps prevent that somewhat but doesn't lessen my curls.
scrunch, only scrunch.
Rake n' shake. Then wrap random curls around my finger. Diffuse.

Direct2Drive Moving to GameFly - What You Need to Know
In order to ensure that you won't get screwed when this transfer happens, we have a few important bits o' information you are going to want to read.
Click the break to learn some knowledge.
The first, and most important thing you're going to want to do is download all of your favorite games from Direct2Drive now. While they are going to be moving every game over, it's not entirely guaranteed that everything will work perfectly well. Sort of like when you move to a new apartment and somehow lose your collector's edition copy of Final Fantasy VII.
The second thing you'll want to do is download all the Prima Guides you have ever wanted. These will not be available to you any longer, as GameFly will simply not be hosting them.
The third and final thing is to activate a GameFly account. What this merge is going to do is allow the rental of PC games for as long as you would like, for a monthly fee. Just like how GameFly works now with console games.
We have a 30-day free trial Promotion Code we are dying to give away. The first comment will receive this code.
I don't know about you, but I'm crazy excited that this is happening. Finally being able to rent a PC game and play as long as I please is going to save this guy a lot of cheddar.

Sara Baartman and the Hottentot Venus have had mysterious careers. Sara Baartman was born on the South African frontier in the 1770s. She lived nearly three decades in South Africa. She then spent some five years in Europe before dying in Paris at the end of 1815. Sara Baartman loved, and was loved, and for many years before she went to Europe she was a mother and a working woman in the Cape. Yet she has come down to us in history captured by the icon of the Hottentot Venus, a supposedly paradoxical freak of race and sexuality, both alluring and primitive, the very embodiment of desire and the importance of conquering the instincts. Writings on Sara Baartman have subsumed the life of this beautiful woman almost totally in those brief, if momentous, years she spent in Europe displayed as the Hottentot Venus. A short period at the end of her life has come to stand for all that passed before.1
In Cape Town, and then in England and in Paris, Sara Baartman as the Hottentot Venus fancied and troubled the minds of people who, in their often quotidian ways, helped fashion the modern world. It was, by all accounts, an extraordinary epoch. During her lifetime American colonists declared their independence and quashed Native American cultures. In Saint Domingue, slaves revolted and created Haiti, a new society free of the plantation master but still full of sorrow. Across Europe revolutions came and went, in France by the stamp of feet and the guillotine's percussive thump. Napoleon's armies marched and perished. The masses moved in and out of the factories of Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, or worked on the docks of the great city of London. The Luddites rioted against the factory system. Gas lighting came to Soho. King George III went insane. The Romantics imagined the beauties of nature, the emotions and the transcendental, the monstrous and the exotic. Scientists measured and classified the world.
Where, Europeans wondered, did the Hottentot Venus fit in the order of things? What makes us human? What is intellect, feeling, love? Many believed the Hottentot Venus was more ape than human, or that she represented a fifth category of human, a Homo sapiens monstrous, a kind of Frankenstein's monster scarcely capable of emotion and intelligence yet also a reminder of the primitive living deep within the self.
That fiction became a constant presence throughout much of Europe during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. On Baartman's death in December 1815, Georges Cuvier, then Europe's most revered scientist and the father of comparative anatomy, eagerly dissected her body for his investigations and remade her in a plaster cast as the Hottentot Venus. Sara Baartman disappeared from history as the identity she had performed on-stage and in Europe's halls was entombed in science and figured ever more prominently in the Western imagining of women, race, and sexuality: the primitive woman with extraordinarily large buttocks and, so many were told, remarkable sexual organs. A huge illustration of the Hottentot Venus greeted the tens of thousands of visitors who crowded into the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1889, and her plaster cast was made available to the more than thirty-one million people attending the International Exhibition of 1937, just before the outbreak of the Second World War when ideas about the supposed inferiority of the races nearly destroyed Europe. Dickens and Darwin, Hugo, Freud, Picasso, Eliot, H. G. Wells, James Joyce, and many others knew or wrote of the Hottentot Venus, as did the most important writers on the so-called inferiority of the darker races. "Every one, the basest creatures, every Hottentot," Wells wrote, "every stunted creature that ever breathed poison in a slum, knows that the instinctive constitution of man is at fault here and that fear is shameful and must be subdued." The Hottentot figured in Gobineau's famous Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races (1855), one of the foundational texts in the rise of modern racism and translated and published throughout Europe and America. The Essay was especially influential in the American South and in Germany in the decades that led to spectacle lynching and to the Holocaust. As the venerable Edinburgh Review put it in 1863, "There is no vast difference between the intelligence of a Bosjesman and that of an oran-u`tan, and that the difference is far greater between Descartes or Homer and the Hottentot than between the stupid Hottentot and the ape."2
The Hottentot Venus confirmed to Europeans the inferiority of the Hottentot and people with dark skins. It also confirmed the inequality and unfitness of all women, for women were closer to nature, and the Hottentot Venus was closest of all. "Hottentot women," Robert Knox wrote in his Races of Man, "offer certain peculiarities more strongly marked than in any other race"—by which the Scottish anatomist, infamous for stealing corpses, meant women's buttocks and genitals. The sexual body determined character, being even. Politicians and bureaucrats devised laws throughout Europe to control the biological deviance of prostitutes and their Hottentot sexuality that preyed on men. Well into the twentieth century, doctors in Europe and America excised women's genitals to make them less pronounced, less like those of the Hottentot Venus, to better control their presumed sexual cravings and brute drives.3
In the 1940s and 1950s, Percival Kirby, a Scottish musicologist working in South Africa, wrote a series of articles on the Hottentot Venus. Most everyone had forgotten about the Hottentot Venus, even if her ghost continued shaping people's perception of black women's sexuality. Feminism helped her resurrection. In the 1980s the Hottentot Venus returned, as a symbol not of sexual excess and racial inferiority but of all the terrible things the West has done to others. Scholars started reading Kirby. His investigations became the basis for poems, plays, sculptures, and other representations that now powerfully depicted the terrible display of the Hottentot Venus in Europe as the moniker of everything wrong with Western civilization: Enlightenment science, racism, the abuse and exploitation of women, the travesties of colonialism, and the exoticization of non-Western peoples—the so-called "Other."
Sara Baartman also reappeared in South Africa. In 1994, apartheid ended. South Africans began demanding the return of Baartman's remains for proper burial in the place of her birth. The French refused: they claimed her body was theirs. Baartman's history became the grist of domestic and international politics. Baartman emerged as South Africa's "mother and her life as the Hottentot Venus a reminder of the injustices black South Africans have endured over the past three and a half centuries." For the French, retaining the body meant defending the power and enlightenment of French science. But science so clearly tied to race could not win: Sara Baartman was reburied in a state funeral in South Africa on National Women's Day in August 2002.
In the 1990s, Sara Baartman thus began appearing from history's shadows. But who was this person who became the Hottentot Venus? Until very recently when the question has been posed, if it has been posed at all, the answer has focused on the five years Baartman lived in Europe and performed as the Hottentot Venus. Various publics around the world took the European representations of Sara Baartman and turned them on their head to expose modernity's darker side. Scholars used Kirby's work as gospel, assuming that nothing could be found out about Sara Baartman's life in South Africa: her colonial history either remained of no interest or was presumed inaccessible.4
As historians working on topics such as colonialism, race, gender and sexuality, we wondered if a different approach to Sara Baartman's life might be possible. What if we looked at the totality of her life and resisted the temptation of reading her history backward as a story of inevitable victimization? How might the past look then?
We began work on Sara Baartman's life in 2003, fascinated by the tremendous, perhaps impossible, burden that seemed to be placed on this African woman who lived in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. We began innocently, perhaps naively, wanting to discover the person behind the Hottentot Venus, where necessary to set the record straight, to tell the story of a woman who grew up in South Africa and who was killed in Europe by a figment of other people's imagination.
The journey took us to three continents and research in five countries in more than a dozen archives and libraries. We tried to track down every possibly relevant record in the period especially from about 1750 to 1816, and then from the 1990s to the present. We conducted genealogical research to identify some of the possible relatives of Sara Baartman. Discussions with people brought us from the outskirts of Port Elizabeth to the small town of Graaff Reinet to the desolate and impoverished community of Lavender Hill near Cape Town. We spoke as well to various interested parties. Some people refused to speak with us. Others requested anonymity. What seemed like a puzzle, the search for pieces of evidence to complete a picture, became more like a mystery full of twists and turns with one issue leading inexplicably to another and some questions left unanswered and perhaps unanswerable.5
All the while the very act of writing raised perplexing issues. We learned that biography was a genre more suited to the life of the Hottentot Venus than to the fragments recorded for posterity about Sara Baartman, even as we still found out far more about the person than people had thought the records would reveal. Fixing Sara Baartman within the conventional genre of biography raises fundamental questions about how we know what we know and how we write about people whose lives traversed so many geographies and different cultural worlds. Sara Baartman's life confounds conventional narrative biography in at least two senses. She was in many senses one of the "defeated and the lost" whose history, as one philosopher put it, "cries out for vengeance and calls for narrative."6 Yet the closer we get to the defeated and the lost, the more fragmentary the evidentiary record becomes. This is the case not simply with Sara Baartman but with the great swath of humanity, the billions of people who bequeath posterity the simple lineaments of their lives. Sara gave only one interview during her life, in London, and it was given in Dutch, under the watchful eyes of officers of a court, and then translated and handed down to history as a paraphrase. Two other interviews in Paris are probably fictive. These are not the materials most biographers have to work with. Sara Baartman left, then, mere fragments of history.
Biography also promises "to satisfy the lingering desire for a solid world peopled by knowable characters"7 by arranging the life of a person absent its strangeness, as if culture was but the patina etched by history upon a universal unchanging self. Biography, however, emerged at a particular time and place in Europe's imagining of the self; indeed, biographical writing was being crafted in Sara Baartman's lifetime. It emerged along with the idea of the possessive individual, that person who has agency, autonomy, a vision of self. This idea of the person, of the self, is not so easily transferred to anytime and anyplace and to worlds where there is no clearly possessive subject, no "me," "myself."8
And live she did. Should history write only of people at the moment of their fame, or of people with sufficient privilege to preserve in the present the lineaments of their lives? We think not. We are drawn to Sara Baartman's life and to the strange legacies of the Hottentot Venus. Therein one can find many fascinating, if disturbing, stories. But her story—or perhaps their stories—also is a cautionary tale about silence and the limits of history, and about what happens when someone, or something, comes to stand for too much, when the past can bear no more.
Europeans created the Hottentot Venus as the living missing link separating beast from man, the drives from the intellect, the anxious space between our animal and human selves. Sara entered Europe's psyche, modernity's psyche, not as a woman, a living, breathing person with emotions and memories and longings, but as a metaphor, a figment, a person reduced to a simulacrum. That figment subsumed the person. We will always know more about the phantom that haunts the Western imagination, a phantom so complete that it has nearly become a living, breathing person, than we do about the life of Sara Baartman, the human being who was ultimately destroyed by an illusion.
These paradoxes and silences give us pause. Ghosts haunt these pages. The thousands of people hunted down and murdered on South Africa's eastern frontier appear as partial and veiled images, fragments or traces really. So also those forced into servitude. Sara survived an era of extraordinary violence when all across the world native peoples died out and colonial societies were made and remade and the modern world was born. In South Africa, for the survivors of genocide and colonial violence, the many dead abandoned without proper burial became ghosts visiting in the dry winds of the African veld. Sara lived in a world shattered by violence.
To many South Africans during the 1990s, as the country made its miraculous if painful transition to democracy, Sara remained a mournful spirit exiled from her land of birth; only a proper burial in South Africa might allow her spirit to become an ancestor. And yet she remains imprisoned still, literally behind bars that surround her grave site, but also ensnared by diverse people's expectations, by histories that remain traumatic. In large parts of Africa ancestors are revered but also allowed to finally die, to pass on, ultimately to be forgotten. This book is about discovery, about what really might have happened, and about the extraordinary power of people's imaginations. It also is about letting go, another burial of sorts.

About Me
Photography has been a major part of my life and career for many decades. i never could limit myself to any single subject matter. The skills you develop photographing a variety of subjects can only make you a better photographer. The majority of my work is done outdoors. I'm a firm believer in preparation. I scout locations beforehand for interesting backgrounds but even more importantly knowing what the light will be like at a certain time of day. Example of this is a series of waterfalls that are within a few miles. I know that between June 18 and July 7th from 1840 hours and 1915 hours the sun will shine between two 200 foot tall Douglas Fir trees illuminating the waterfall.
I'm always interested in working with motivated people so message me and lets see what we can workout

Adafruit had them in stock, they're gone now. I'd assume Sparkfun would have them soon.
I'm sure if you guys were a billion dollar company you would've of dragged them through court and made them limit their request too one persons order. Not quite their yet though, that said I think it's great what you did do and I'm appreciate your efforts. Thank you. It's a shame that some people always ruin the fun for everyone else.
Has anyone ever used these with a Ubiquiti PicoStation M2HP (or NanoStation Loco M2)? It works great with my ASUS, but I'm thinking about setting up WiFi to cover an acre in which case I'll probably go all Ubiquiti.
Update, for anyone looking at Ubiquitis products: PicoStation M2HP came a week ago, finally got a chance to test the 2 together and didn't have a problem. I don't know how strong of signal the RN-XV sees but the PicoStation sees -52dBm from the RN-XV and it's outside by the garden ~100 ft away with a little rubber duck antenna, so the RN-XV probably sees ~-40dBm. If I went with the NanoStation Loco it would be stronger due to the directional antenna but not as useful for multipoint. On a side note, Ubiquitis AirOS is amazing, AirView tool(spectrum analyzer) made it easy to find the least used channel and is more helpful than a standard site survey.
@ scoopjones, use this example code, http://mitat.tuu.fi/?p=78, from Finnishguy. It works perfect, I've been meaning to turn it into a library just haven't gotten around to it yet, I'll post something when I do, hope it helps
I've followed the spec sheet powering it at 3.3V and haven't had a problem, it's worked perfect and readings are comparable if not the same as the local weather.
The price went back up to $50, are you going back to the G instead of C version? I'd rather through it in a order from SFE instead of Digi,etc.Just looking for some clarity on this.Thanks for any info ahead of time.
just saw one of these on eBay, put a bid in so far im winning at $0.99. if anyone wants to go against me here's the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280513717483&ssPageName=STRK
No public wish lists :(

The following article gives information about circulation problems, especially for legs, hands and feet as well as all round poor circulation. There are many things you can do to help with this.
What is Poor Circulation?
In simple terms when not enough blood flows along the arteries and capillaries, then problems can happen. It is usually most noticeable in the extremities of the body such as the legs, feet, toes, hands and fingers.
What often happens is that a fatty substance called plaque builds up inside the blood vessels and makes them much narrower. This restricts the blood flow and makes it harder for the blood to travel around the body as it normally would.
There can be other reasons such as the blood being thicker than optimum or the heart not being as strong as possible. Both of these things can make the problem worse.
Reasons why bad circulation is harmful
Having good blood flow around your body is vitally important.
Your body is made up of millions and millions of tiny cells which all do different jobs in different parts of the body. There are nerve cells, muscle cells, brain, heart and blood cells and many other types of cells.
Each cell needs nutrition so that it gets the energy it needs to do its particular job. It also needs oxygen so that it can combine with nutrients to convert them to energy.
As well as this, each cell produces waste products including unused nutrients and also carbon dioxide.
The blood supply to and from the cells is what allows all of this to happen. If the blood supply is poor then the cells in that part of the body suffer and problems and diseases very often start to occur.
Some common symptoms:
Hypertension problems
Circulatory disorders are quite common in middle-aged and elderly folk. Hypertension is one of them. It is caused by cholesterol plaque deposits along the walls of the arteries, making them harden and constrict.
Because the arteries are constricted, the blood exerts great force against the walls of the blood vessels, causing the blood pressure to rise. The vessels lose their elasticity and springiness. So if the body needs more energy such as walking up stairs or exercising, it can be difficult to get it.
Hardening of the Arteries
Hardening of the arteries is another consequence because the arteries narrow due to these same fatty deposits.
Buergers disease, common to those who smoke, is a chronic inflammation of the veins and arteries in the lower extremities. Raynauds disease is marked by constriction and spasm of the blood vessels in the extremities.
This very often includes the fingers, toes and tip of the nose. This disease if left untreated can lead to gangrene.
Varicose Veins
Poor circulation in legs can result from varicose veins (more data here). These develop because of a loss of elasticity in the walls of the veins. The resultant reduced blood circulation then compounds the problem and makes the varicose veins gradually worse.
These circulatory problems are quite common due to genetics or bad food or insufficient exercise or higher stress levels etc. This problem can be quite common in a single leg but more often in both legs.
Basically, veins have small valves inside them to stop blood from flowing back down the body due to gravity. These valves are meant to close as blood is pumped through the vein. Then re-open to allow the next pump. But varicose veins have valves which do not close properly. Hence blood is able to fall back down. This creates bulges and makes circulation even worse.
How to improve blood circulation
It is possible to improve circulation throughout the body and also in specific areas. Here are some great tips for you:
Hot and Cold Treatments
Hot and cold Showers or Hydrotherapy is a good way of improving your circulation. It is something you can do every day, concentrating on the effected area.
When you get hot under a shower the blood rushes to the skin and feeds it. Then when you immediately put on the cold, the blood rushes to the internal organs. You shiver, but what is happening is that your blood is flushing out your skin and leaving it oxygenated. Then, again, a hot shower and the blood rushes from your internal organs, so flushing them, to your skin.
Use common sense - not too hot!
Your circulation is increased just by the action of your blood being forced rapidly around your body. This hot and then cold water can be repeated up to 5 or 6 times for optimum results. Do not start straight away on very hot or very cold water. Gradually increase the temperature difference between the hot and cold water over a period of a few weeks so that it is not too much of a shock to the system. This single action can dramatically improve your circulation over time.
You can also do this to a single body part. You don't just have to do this to the whole body. Use it to improve poor leg circulation or bad hand circulation etc. Try it. It really can make a difference over time.
These powerful natural herbs can really make a difference:
Cayenne herb
Cayenne can be used externally for poor circulation, unbroken chilblains and pains associated with arthritis or lumbago. Capsicum based creams, liniments, and infused oils can be rubbed onto the skin. Avoid the eyes and other sensitive area of the body.
Internally cayenne stimulates the heart, regulating the blood flow and strengthening the arteries and capillaries. If you want to get your blood flowing, take cayenne. It can be taken as powder in a capsule or as a liquid tincture. It will not only get the blood pumped around your body, but it will strengthen your heart, clear your arteries, and research has shown that hot herbs raise your metabolic rate by as much as 25%, so will assist in weight loss. Cayenne is a wonderful herb for a healthy life.
Ginkgo Biloba herb
Ginkgo Biloba is another all-round circulation booster. It is most widely know for its ability to improve memory, due to its ability to increase blood flow through the brain. In Germany, Gingko is used by physicians to treat varicose veins.
Ginkgo like cayenne improves blood flow and strengthens blood vessels. It is also anti-inflammatory, relaxes the lungs, improves blood flow to the heart and lessens coronary demand for oxygen -reducing shortness of breath and is helpful in asthma. Use it to help assist poor circulation, thrombosis, varicose veins, cramp, and spontaneous bruising.
The best blend of herbs for a circulation problem:
Probably the ultimate and most potent herbal combination to help beat poor circulation is Cayenne and Ginkgo Biloba, with added Ginger and Garlic. (See below to order).
Modern research shows that a regular intake of Garlic lowers cholesterol levels in the blood. Garlic cleanses the blood, tones the heart and circulatory system and helps prevent heart disease. It helps with high blood pressure and reduces the risk of atherosclerosis*.
Ginger gently stimulates all tissues of the body and is fantastic for poor circulation.
( *atherosclerosis a degenerative disease of the arteries characterised by patchy thickening of the inner lining of the arterial walls, caused by deposits of fatty material. )
The Ginger, Garlic, Ginkgo & Cayenne Formula
The circulation formula is available in two forms: Capsules or Liquid.
We often get asked which is the best. It really depends on your own personal choice.
The majority of people choose capsules, though some prefer to take supplements in liquid form.
Also, many people choose to take both forms at the same time.
We recommend taking 2 to 4 capsules a day. If using the liquid, take 10 to 20 drops 3 times per day.
This gives you approximately 4 to 8 weeks supply depending on quantity consumed each day.
There are no other ingredients added apart from the ginger, garlic, ginkgo biloba and cayenne. All of these ingredients are certified organic. The capsules are made from vegetable cellulose and so are also 100% suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
