May 2013 Rain
- Friday 5/17 0.5 inches of rain
- Saturday 5/18 1.5 inches of rain
- Sunday 5/19 0.5" inches of rain
Ben (12) and I spent the majority of our weekend working on our Kubota BX2350 tractor. A while back I broke off the plastic fan blades on the drive shaft in front of the transmission while I was landscaping at a friends house. Some small braches popped up at exactly the wrong time & spot and the plastic was no match since the mower deck was not installed during that project. This is a very typical repair on the BX1850, BX2350, and BX24 family of tractors.
The problem is the drive shaft runs through the center of the fan and there is NO easy way to remove it. It is a captive part. This is a $500-$1000 kind of repair at a shop, not because it is hard, but because it is labor intensive. I have more time than money so I decided to tackle it myself with the aid of one of my sons.
We spent most of Saturday removing the floor panel, the roll bar, the rear fenders, the hood, the engine surround, brackets, etc. Once that was done we loosened up the motor mounts and the radiator surround.
The motor was too heavy to move without an engine hoist so we made a run to the store for a new "tool." We now own a nice 1 ton engine hoist.
Sunday afternoon we lifted up the motor a couple of inches and shifted forward a couple of inches. A few minutes later the drive shaft was loose and the fan was swapped out. When started the reassembly process.
By the time the dinner bell rang Sunday night the tractor is about 90% reassembled. I need to tighten up all of the bolts for the floor & vendors then install the seat and battery.
I will need to order the little black plastic clips that hold the floor mat in place and a new fan belt. While we were working on the project I noticed that the engine fan belt is starting to separate at the seam. I discovered that the fan belt is captive which means that we will need to drop the front portion of that same drive shaft. Luckily I don't think that it will take more than an hour to complete that job. I need to change the engine oil and the tranny fluid as part of my spring maintenance so it is not a big deal.
With a little bit of luck I should be able to find some time one night this week after work finish up the initial project. It was awesome to have Ben(12) help out on the project. Having a second set of hands was priceless on the project and really reduce the time and frustration of tackling this project solo.
It appears that there are a lot of whisper stations on 20m.
The KX3 has been listening to 20m WSPR using my 160m antenna (shunt-loaded tower) for the better portion of the day. It is amazing how many people are playing with this week signal mode. (VE1JF was a 6m signal)

I decided to let the IC756 listen to 6m while I was working today.
For several hours nothing was heard at 50.293MHz. At the end of my work day I stopped by the shack PC to discover that I had heard VE1JF in three different time periods. It appears that he was running 20 watts so that is pretty nice for 6m. It appears that we might have had a couple of brief band openings that only a mode like this would capture.
73 de NG0R
I am starting to think about Field Day 2013. Part of that is working through the various gear & antenna choices which is pretty simple with the 2012 addition of an Elecraft KX3.
I started thinking about how I want to handle keyboard CW & PSK this year without having to bring along a netbook or laptop. Being able to send the QSO exchange with a keyboard makes life much more comfortable & enjoyable.
I am exploring using an Arduino (aka: AVR) as the potential back bone of the keyer interface for CW & PSK31.
I hooked up a small speaker to an Arduino Nano and generated a tone in a couple of minutes. It took about another 10 minutes to variablize some code. From there I built a Dit & Dah Function. That worked well enough that I then built a set of functions for A-Z and 0-9. So a little more than an hour from when I started I have basic morse code library built and functioning.
We will see where this goes next. I need to interface it to the KX3 and test that. After that I probably need to test hooking up a keyboard. If that all pans out I will look building some function key macros. If that all continues to work I will consider hooking up a 20x4 LCD and building a simple user interface & some feedback messages.
I am not positive that this is the route that I am really headed yet. But it was an enjoyable 60 minutes or so to produce some good sounding morse code.

I have the radios on in the shack today...
I tried something slightly different today. I used two radios and two computers to receive two different bands at the same time.
Icom 756 + desktop running Ubuntu 12.04 on 20m
Elecraft KX3 + netbook running Ubuntu 12.04 on 30m
Normally the shack is quiet during the day because I am using it as my office. Today I turned on the radios and computers and let them run with the audio turned down.
Kind of a fun end to the day to see what I was able to capture.

Ok, it looks like a LOT like a VFO now...
On Friday I spent about four hours tweaking the code. I had a couple of bugs that I wanted to shake out before moving the next phase of the project.
Saturday was spent hitting one of the local radio club breakfasts, then the monthly club meeting, followed by running errands. I spent some time Saturday evening looking at some old code that I had from Peter VK2TPM and Jeff KO7M. I was trying to decide how I wanted to handle reading out the serial bits to the DDS. (I could understand Peter's code pretty well. Jeff's code is more efficent but harder for a noob like me to understand.)
Sunday morning was spent running errands (groceries). By the time I got home was feeling pretty guilty about my lack of progress (Sat & Sun morning) so I decided to get back to it. It took me about an hour to move some code fragments from my 2012 project into my new project. I also changed many of the variables and object names to be consistent with the the current project.
Surprisingly it worked pretty much right away when I fired it up. After the initial test I moved around one block of code to minimize how often I update the DDS. (If the dial doesn't move, the DDS does not need to be updated which saves a LOT of clock cycles for other future things.)
The next step was to put it on the spectrum analyzer, oscope, frequency counter, and oscope to look at the signal. The picture of the spectrum analyzer shows a 7.040MHz signal on the left with 5MHz divisions out to 45MHz on the right side of the screen. The harmonics are 40-50dB (or more) down from the fundamental frequency.
The picture on the oscope was pretty boring. It looked pretty good overall. One open question might be some better bypass filtering related to ground. But since this is on a breadboard with flying leads I am pretty happy with it as a prototype.
My counter(s) do not have a 10MHz reference so I take their exact accuracy with a grain of salt. Typically I don't need 1-10Hz level accuracy so they are close enough. In this case I do need an accurate reference if I want to adjust the true timing of the 30MHz clock on the DDS board. It is not overly critical unless you want to operate modes like WSPR or QRSS which need to be accurate to within a couple of Hz. My initial testing was indicating that I was +/- about 60Hz with my non-referenced gear.
My next experiment was to measure the power of the DDS over a range of frequencies. It looks like it does not have much gain from 1.8 - 5MHz. From 6 - 26MHz it is running 4 - 6dBm or 2.5 - 4mW of power. From 26 - 30MHz it is running about 2dBm or 2mW. That is quite a bit of power from the DDS and is a nice starting point for real RF projects.
I am pretty pleased with the project. I figure that I have about 12 hours or so into the project. Most of that is simply because I don't know the language and I am having to look up the syntax as I go. This is going to be starting point for a HF rig. Clearly this is just one building block out of several that I will need in the future but this is the building block that I have been contemplating for a while.
The code below is not exciting or even highly optimized at this point but it is fully functional. Since I have leveraged the internet for a lot of my learning I thought that I should share my code in case someone else needs help getting starting. (Thanks to folks like Jeff, Eldon, Jason, and Peter that have helped me in various ways with my projects.) The sketch below is about 8k and should provide a fully functioning signal generator between 1.8 - 30MHz.

/* This sketch will setup an Arduino (Nano in my example) with the an I2C 20x4 LCD and a AD9851 DDS module (from ebay) and a rotary encoder. The encoder can be spun from 1.8MHz to 30MHz. When you push the encoder push button it will allow to change the decade position of the number being changed/tuned. This code is heavily commented so that you can try to understand what is going on. This tries to avoid the use of the delay command since that is a blocking statement. Use of the millis function and variable checking as a timer are used instead if/when needed. The base sketch takes about 8k of memory. This could be easily used a the builing block for a HF radio. ------------------- DDS AD9850/AD9850 info from: Mike Bowthorpe http://www.ladyada.net/rant/2007/02/cotw-ltc6903/ http://www.geocities.com/leon_heller/dds.html Function for sending the byte word by Peter Marks http://marxy.org ---Encoder info--- https://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?p=65052 http://hifiduino.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/rotarynodebounce.jpg read a rotary encoder with interrupts Encoder hooked up with common to GROUND, Encoder Pin A to pin 2, Encoder Pin B to pin 4 (or pin 3 see below) uses Arduino pullups on A & B channel outputs turning on the pullups saves having to hook up resistors to the A & B channel outputs ---I2C LCD INFO--- http://arduino-info.wikispaces.com/LCD-Blue-I2C YWROBOT LCD header pins/cable color code VCC = Red -- 5v GND = Black -- Gnd SDA = Yellow -- A4 SCL = Green/White -- A5 */ //---Libraries #include <Wire.h> // I2C library #include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h> // I2C LCD library LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27,20,4);

// CW } else { encoder0Pos = encoder0Pos - varMult; // CCW } } } /* to read the other two transitions - just use another attachInterrupt() in the setup and duplicate the doEncoder function into say, doEncoderA and doEncoderB. You also need to move the other encoder wire over to pin 3 (interrupt 1). */
The rotary encoder that I have been using has been ok, but just that, ok. I have largely minimized bounce via some capacitors. I also have the push button portion setup the same way. The encoder works ok but leaves me wanting more.
The existing encoder has two pulses per detent about about 20 detents per revolution. The detents suck. It is more than for every 1 detent count one pulse or adjust the math kind of deal. Even with the hardware debounce (I could also add software debounce) it is not 100% stable combined with the 2 pulses per detent it is clearly not the encoder that I want for my VFO. (No surprise there.)
I shared my thoughts with AA0ZZ and he shared several stories about his battles trying to find the ideal encoder (functionality vs. price vs. availability.) Craig has some nice encoders in his projects. (I own several AA0ZZ designed projects.) I asked if Craig would share a couple of them from his secret stash for the right price. (Yesterday I ordered some different encoders from Arrow to test as prototype candidates. They should be here on Monday.)
The picture above is one of those secret stash encoders. I am going to swap out my current encoder with the secret stash today and then retest my latest version of code. I have a couple of items in the code that I want to tweak (lower bound issue, moving the cursor, cursor blink timing.) I took today (Friday) off as a mental health day from work. My goal is to spend a couple of hours bonding with the project today.

A resistor, a capacitor, and a few minutes of code
I setup some simple hardware debounce and then dropped in some code to read the push button the rotary encoder. The hardware debounce works fine so I am happy with the results.
The next step will be to write some code to use the encoder push button to change the cursor between the Hz, KHz, and MHz fields of the frequency display.

Now that we have an extra hour of day light (spring forward over the weekend) I decided that it was time to go outside after work. I drove to a local county park and put on some snowshoes (xmas present from my mother) and put Max on the leash for some exercise.
The snow is moderately deep after a couple of recent storms but crusty and packed after some rain and sunny weather. The trail had been groomed recently so it in good shape for a hike.
It was a nice way to transition from my work day to my family time after work.

May 8th: Cadbuys Twisted
This is probably one of the hardest reviews I have had to write for Chocolate Mission.
Let me get this straight from the start...this is a great tasting chocolate bar...bottom line.
Though let me also get this straight from the word go...this is not an 'an innovative bar' nor is it really 'innovation' as we have been led to believe by Cadbury in their press releases.
With wording like that from their marketers I was actually really quite excited about this bar and forked out 55p to get my hands on it...ok this is not exactly breaking the bank but this is relatively more expensive than your average Cadbury bar...hmmm I seem to remember paying 38p just a few weeks ago for a Cadburys Dairy Milk with Creme Egg.
55p later and further inspection of the snazzy looking wrapper revealed some intriguing facts... the 'Twisted' had exactly the same nutritional information than the Cadburys Dairy Milk with Creme Egg..surely not...!? YEP down to the last gram!...coincidence!?
Opening the bar it had a sweet fragrant Dairy Milk cocoa aroma - apparently according to the wrapper, Dairy Milk contains min 20% Cocoa Solids- news to me. The bar itself is smaller than your standard Dairy Milk bar...further research has show that it is only a few grams smaller at 43g in weight though - it was really quite a filling bar anyway so no complaints there.
As you will see in the picture above the bars' name is obviously derived from its shape. Its shaped identically to a Mars Delight bar - a long rippled finger...though as you can guess this its quite alot thicker...at least it looked more impressive than the Cadburys Dairy Milk with Creme egg.
You will also see in the cross section above that the chocolate was really quite thick - it provided a nice solid coating to the bar and stopped any of the fondant centre seeping out (a common problem I always had with the Dairy Milk with Creme Egg variant). The fondant centre had a smoother texture than you will find in the standard creme egg - to be honest I preferred the smoother feel.
Tastewise...guess what???? Its Dairy Milk with Creme Egg fondant centre...this of course is a good thing. The Dairy Milk chocolate was its normal creamy self, a combination of a smooth but rich cocoa taste...always a winner in my book. The fondant centre was also its usual tasty self, of course ever so sweet, but again like in the Creme egg, its correctly proportioned with the chocolate, making for a good balance of flavours. Anything missing here!??? ahh yes that marketing buzzword...'innovation'!
Overall its been very hard to score this bar. As I said above its damn tasty and on this basis alone I would recommend it to anyone...this is where my recommendations on this bar stop though because in truth I feel cheated. This is not the innovative product we were promised..this is the Cadburys Dairy Milk with Creme Egg bar but with a snazzy wrapper and new bar appearance. Even if these changes are admittedly for the better, this does not excuse the fact we are now paying around 20p more for these irrelevant changes. At the end of the day this is simply a bit of 'marketing magic' that I'm sure I will not be the only victim of. Cadbury have managed to create a buzz about a product that already exists, and are charging a higher price for it. In relation to the standard Creme Egg it just doesn't have the same magic...it doesn't look as good and the value isn't a great. Despite all this its a great tasting bar..but if your expecting something ground breaking your going to be left disappointed.

Jay - its all about everything in moderation. If you banish yourself of chocolate your bound to fail.
Just check out the nutritional info I post with each review - should give you a view on the bars that are kinder on the waistline! Try a crunchie..or simply just go for the smaller bars.
I guess one of things going for the twisted is that relative to other bars on the market its Kcal/fat content is quite low.
...as I said everything in moderation! - May 08, 2008

I agree completely. I have chocolate at least 3 times a week, and I have still managed to lose 3 stone since November!!
Everything in moderation indeed :) - May 08, 2008
- Jim's Chocolate Mission said...
Congratulations on that Amanada thats a really good achievement - you should be really proud. I hope you have done it for your own reasons and not the pressures of society today.
it always rattles my cage when people say 'I havent eaten chocolate for xxxx amount of days - arent i good!?'....the answer is generally no as they are gonna be the same people who eventually end up seeing away 400g of Galaxy in a momment of weaknesses.
Its all about a healthy balanced diet - and that can include treats! - May 08, 2008
- Amanda said...
Thanks very much Jim :) (btw - same Amanda, but got my blogs mixed up - now linking to my comparatively baby chocolate blog!).
I have a fridge stuffed with chocolate at the moment, but no desire to fill my face with it. A little suffices and I really enjoy what I have, but as soon as you deprive yourself of it, that's when you want to stuff yourself silly with it! - May 08, 2008
One chocolate bar a day keeps the doctor away *haha* In my opinion its just depends on how much chocolate u eat.
- May 08, 2008
- Jim's Chocolate Mission said...
Amanda i was not aware if your site..nor was I aware I was linked on it!
I will add you to my blogroll straight away, I really like your site and your pictures are very good - there can never be too many opinions given on chocolate.
I have soooo many chocolate bars at home its ridiculous...in any attempt to get some way through it im breaking my rule of one chocolate bar a day at the mommment.
I had two last night and I cant tell you how ill it made me feel :)
Franzi - I agree with you - a bar a day will keep the doctor away :D
has anyone else managed to get hold of a Cadburys Twisted yet? The actualy release date isnt until the 21st but it seems WH Smith have broken that date the naughty people!

Hi Jim
I have just eaten my first Cadbuys Twisted Bar and as a fan of the Cream Egg i was looking Very forward to this.
It smelt very sweet and looked very good (Maybe a little small when next to something like a Mars Bar).
After eating and upon reflection its a very nice bar but the Cream Egg beats it just because of its fantastic Eggy shape and the slightly thicked Chocolate.
Still its very good and was my first bit of Chocolate in over a month (Holiday in September and must look good)... - May 13, 2008
- Jim's Chocolate Mission said...
SJ - Blimey no chocolate in a month that is some good work! Getting the beach bod primed are we.
I agree with you this bar although good just dosent have the magic of the Creme egg...creme eggs are currently going cheap at the momment in place like Woolies got them on multibuys (3 for £1 etc)...its going to be another whole year again before they come back :( :( :( i guess the twisted will just have to do! - May 13, 2008
- Lutzie said...
Pretty good review that Jim. The only thing I'd say is... what's the point of this bar? It's not a standard chocolate bar, and it's not as good as an egg either. It's the bastard sum of both, and ultimately, although it's nice, I think it fails to provide adequetly what it's seperate components would give.
- May 21, 2008
- Jim's Chocolate Mission said...
Lutz - I do agree with you there...if I was ever going to buy the creme egg in bar form anyway it would be the normal Dairy Milk with Creme egg...which subsequently seems gone now.
Give me the egg anyday...it just has more of a fun feel to it.
Thanks for the comment appreciate it
Jim - May 21, 2008
surely the point is that they are making the creme egg experience available year round, and that's why it isn't an egg but a bar? i wasn't expecting it to be any different, just there in september....
- May 21, 2008
- Jim's Chocolate Mission said...
marsha - yes the point of it is that its avalible all year round...but it already was avalible all year round in the form of the Dairy Milk with Creme Egg...this is entirely the same proposition.
- May 21, 2008
I'm impressed with the Twisted, the Dairy Milk w/Creme Egg just never worked for me and this does seem to give you a better hit of 'goo'. I find when I open one I feel a bit deprived by it's small size yet it is actually very satisfying, that said, my greedy side would welcome a kingsize version!
- May 25, 2008
- Jim's Chocolate Mission said...
Saz - A king sized twisted eh!? Now theres an idea!? I doubt that would ever happen though lets be honest...seems Cadbury are intent of making everything smaller..looks what they have done to the egg over recent years :(

- laura said...
I can't wait to try this bar so much! i am in SA now and have asked my parents to post me over one to try!
- June 24, 2008
- Jim's Chocolate Mission said...
Laura Thats really cool..be sure to post a comment with what your thoughts are on the bar once you have tried it.
Jim :D - June 24, 2008
Hi Jim,
I know what you mean about the Twisted bar, I was a liitle puzzled by the 'innovation' aspect lol I love Creme Eggs and remember being very dissappointed with teh Dairy Milk with creme egg bar for some reason - I had one and didnt enjoy it - i think i decided that the chocolate to filling ratio wasnt quite right with it being in lttle chunks and the choclate being thinner etc however i enjoyed the Twisted bar much more mainly because it seemed to tatse much more like the Egss :) not sure if I'm the only one feels like this lol
Alan - September 07, 2008
- Jim's Chocolate Mission said...
Alan indeed the innovation is slightly lacking IMO!! Personally I just had no preferrence between this and the Cadbury Dairy Milk with Creme Egg. To be honest I would quite as happily eat either! There no doubting they both taste great! Its just disappointing when NPD sucks as much as this!

"I hope I can set the table for these players. I'm the stage manager. I set the stage for them to go out and do what they do. In two years, I hope they can get it done."
Watson's relationship with Tiger Woods will come under intense scrutiny, having criticized the 14-time major winner's behavior on and off the course following his fall from grace in 2009.
Nonetheless, Woods was one of the first to offer both his support for Watson and availability for the tournament.
"I would like to congratulate Tom Watson on his selection as Ryder Cup captain," Woods said in a statement.
"I think he's a really good choice. Tom knows what it takes to win and that's our ultimate goal. I hope I have the privilege of joining him on the 2014 United States team."
Watson swiftly dampened the sparks of any potential controversy about Woods by stating that he would pick the former world number one in his squad whether or not he qualifies for one of the eight automatic places on offer. The captain also has four discretionary choices.
"I want him on my team," Watson said. "Tiger is maybe the best player in history. If he's not on the team, he's going to be number one in my picks."
Watson, the first U.S. captain to return to the helm since Jack Nicklaus lost on home soil in 1987, also received the backing of Brandt Snedeker -- like Woods, a member of this year's unsuccessful side in Illinois.
"Obviously they were looking outside the box, given our recent failures," Snedeker told the PGA Tour website.
"They wanted to get a guy who has had success and commands respect. I think that's why they went this way: to get the U.S. to rally around him as a way to rejuvenate the American side.

I have already introduced myself http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/showthread.php?t=49678 . I have been trying to eat a more RAW diet rather than a mix of cooked veggies. There aren't that many changes I've made really because I've been eating very healthy CR diet since I was 18 years old. However with a combination of RAW CR and using basic skin care, sun avoidance.... the result is the last picture which I'm 24 years 8 months old in. This is after 6 months going raw. One of the obvious things to me was my skin felt smooth and more hydrated. I've also shared other benefits http://matts-cr.blogspot.com/2009/06/6-months-raw.html
Anywhere hers the comparison shots. Sorry about the quality of the lower ones, it's because I had an old webcam before I got the digital camera recently.

Very sorry to hear of your illness, Dario. I've always loved your work, and hope that you beat this and carry on for as long as your want to!
John, Edmonton
Me and my Palosanto. Good luck. Live all you can, it's a mistake not too!
MIke Chenet, Longwood, Fl.
Dario, May you have a full and speedy recovery from this dreaded disease. Your work and passion has made many a cyclists' dream become reality. May you regaing your strength and continue on building and loving life for many many years to come. Now go put on a some Zappa ( perhaps a little "Watermelon in Easter Hay" ) and enjoy you day to the fullest !!! Wishing you all the best Dario !!!
Dave Borden, Reading, PA
A fun bike for fun trails! I hope one day to own a Pegoretti, but until then I will continue to enjoy the more plain bikes I have, and I will try my best to send some of the wonderful energy from Western Colorado all the way to Italy to promote your return to wellness. If you ever want to ride a mountain bike in a beautiful place, Western Colorado is that place. Get well soon!
Brad Evans, Grand Junction, Colorado, USA
Hi Dario, I wish you speedy recovery and many healthy, fulfilling years to come. You are one of the greats who are living the dream even if it doesn't come easy. Your work has been and will be inspiration for the generations to come. With the great respect to your dedication to cyclists, community and industry may your wellbeing arrive quickly. Best wishes, Krystian Pac
Krystian Pac, Tarnow, Poland
Dario, I am a sculptor (www.jeffreymaron.com), long time bike nut, and I have always loved your frames for the pure expression they made. A bike, for us who love your work, is first an object of vision which later takes motion with us. I want to express support for you, to encourage you to remain positive, embrace your adversity and look for it to bring you blessings as well as challenges. I have never owned one of your beautiful machines, but the moment I saw one, I recognized the art involved. I work with my hands every day and they speak to my heart, my art is the result. I sense we share this philosophy. I hope someday to gaze lovingly at my very own Pegoretti, but until then, I wish for you a strong recovery and the blessings of those who love you and your elegant rides. Jeffrey Maron P.S. Instead of photo of my plain Specialized, I thought I would attach one of my sculptures, which unfortunately is heavy and has no wheels!
Jeffrey Maron, New York City
I'm a devoted cyclist. I don't know You Dario personally and had never used crafts of your skilled hands. But I wish you fast and complete return to full health. Let our best wishes help you fight with your desease.

Greetings Fellow Chocophiles,
I have recently begun the process of purchasing a Spectra 40 Stone Melanger - http://www.santhausa.com/Spectra%2040%20Melanger%20Speed%20Controll...
Is there anybody out there on the Chocolate Life who has experience using this equipment, or who knows anyone who has?
I am receiving an extremely low level of customer service, and the warranty is very limited on the product, as well as there being no facility in the United States (where I am) to service the melangeur in the event of mechanical problems. On top of this, I have been told I will have to wait several months for the Spectra 40 to ship directly from the manufacturer in India.
With an investment of this nature, my business simply cannot afford for this type of equipment to be anything other than top-notch for many years to come, if not decades. Any advice or information regarding the Spectra 40 Melanger specifically, or Santha in general, is greatly appreciated.
When I first started making chocolate in my home in 2005, I used a small version of the Santha, and pretty much destroyed it. The end result was a complete rebuild with a more powerful motor, fibreglass belts, and numerous changes to the bin where the nibs are ground.
I know there are artisan chocolatiers out there who are using the machines you refer to, but given their design and original intended design (not to grind cocoa beans, but rather grind soft beans into pastes for East Indian food), they will all inevitably fail. In the end, the question is: How handy are you? I guarantee you will be replacing belts, and having to add some type of heating mechanism to the machine to keep the chocolate warm enough to stay liquid.
I don't want to discourage you from starting your own venture. It's fun, and exciting, and rewarding, and scary all at the same time. And... Like I said, there are micro chocolatiers out there who are using modified versions of this machine. I'm just trying to tell you from experience what to expect from it going in!
Cheers and best wishes.
Yeah, I just canceled my order after a week of them not answering the phone or responding to my messages. Do you recommend any other Melangers?
Im really dissappointed because I was excited about the 40L volume and the variable speed control. Alas, I should have known it was too good to be true...
The only other models I can find on the internet are the Cocoa Town melangers ( http://www.cocoatown.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=arti... ) and the Ultra Melangers on Chocolate Alchemy ( http://shop.chocolatealchemy.com/collections/equipment ). But neither really have the throughput Im looking for.
You may want to look at CocoaTown's line of larger melangers that they call grindeurs. The come in 30, 40 and 65lb versions.
I didnt even look into those because on first glance they appeared to be only for milling powder. If nothing else that expands my options - who wouldnt want "The Rolls Royce of Grindeurs"...
Yes the machine is not reliable I have 3 of them (sigh)
Sales Alert!
Maybe you all should take a look at ChocoEasy - this is a German machine so it's expensive, but built to last forever, serviced here in USA by yours truly and customer service is our best sales tool.
I'll tell you up front that the 50 Kilogram machine is $99,500 and the 300 Kilgoram machine is $186,000. These are fully automated machines to control temperature, process time. Produce 25 to 50 Kgs in 8 hours to below 15 microns. Can start with nibs and butter
So if you're ready to use a BMW versus a Tata, please take a look. NETZSCH is having a seminar on this machine in Las Vegas at Chef Rubber on July 28th-29th.
Duffy - the latest version of the chocoeasy has a pre-grinding rotor installed in the refiner that allows feeding very coarse materials, like nibs or crystal sugar, so the company you are familiar with may have an older unit.
To start with nibs you need to use some cocoa butter to circulate the nibs into the refiner. depending on the size of the ChocoEasy unit, the amount of butter required to do this is about 3-4 kilograms.
Soon you will be able to visit our new facility in Orange County, Ca. There you will be able to learn everything you need to know about making chocolate, truly from Bean to Bar. The Qzina Institute will open in September, together with the Stephane Treand Art of Pastry School. We will have numerous machines to test, along with a big variety of beans, and other ingredients. We also carry molds, small and large tempering machines, melters, tools, flavors, powders, and all kinds of ingredients for Chocolate, Dessert, and Pastry Professionals. The Institute will have Small Melangers from both Cocoatown and Alchemy, roasters, winnowers, grinders, and even larger (mid size) equipment for more serious production. We are working on having commercial roller refiners and conches for 2012. The idea is to teach customers and enthusiasts everything from how to source the beans, to various production methods, and from there our in house Chocolatier and Pastry Chef Francois Mellet, with assistance from MOF (Best Craftsman of France) Stephane Treand, can teach you how to make incredible top quality truffles, fillings, cakes, pastries, and chocolates. We are not a school, but more of an R&D institute for the industry. We will also display machinery in our showroom from a host of top manufactures, including enrobers, mills, small processing equipment, etc. We also stock most of the top chocolates of the world, from Callebaut to Valhona to Guittard, and many many more, for those wanting to suppliment production. We also have refined liquor, cacao butter, nibs, on and on. Contact us for more information. We are just outfitting our new building now, and hope to be ready in Sept or October. This is a facility like no other in the United States, located minutes from Newport Beach Airport, Irvine Spectrum Mall, and Disneyland (for those who want a side trip), half way between L.A. and San Diego.

The appeals court said that allowing a president to "define the scope" of his powers over appointments would violate the Constitution's separation of powers.
"An interpretation of 'the recess' that permits the president to decide when the Senate is in recess would demolish the checks and balances inherent in the advice-and-consent requirement, giving the president free rein to appoint his desired nominees at any time he pleases, whether that time be a weekend, lunch, or even when the Senate is in session and he is merely displeased with its inaction. This cannot be the law."
Senate Republicans applauded the decision.
"The (court ruling) reaffirmed that the Constitution is not an inconvenience but the law of the land, agreeing with the owners of a family-owned business who brought the case to the Court," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement.
Legal experts have disagreed on both the tactical and timing procedures by the Senate, and whether the President has unilateral authority to override those legislative tactics.

Nimble performance meets tournament features!
The NITRO® Z-6 is much more than an "entry-level" fiberglass bass boat.
In fact, it has much more in common with its larger siblings in the Z-Series than it does with other boats in its size class, including great holeshots and incredible overall performance. And don't forget how it's built for serious local tournament bass fishing (or even just a friendly outing with a buddy) with plenty of top-tier fishing features and amenities throughout, as well as sizable casting decks fore and aft.
The Z-6 just fits all of this into a nimble, easy-to-tow performance package geared toward everyday anglers.
And all at an industry-low price!


text: There is vast majority of Audio Visual Equipment out there. Speakers and televisions are two of many types of audio visual equipment that is needed for a great in home movie experience. Speakers for instance are vital in home entertainment systems, because not having good sound quality will ruin a good movie. Finding speakers is not difficult, but choosing speakers that best satisfies the need of the consumer is. Small and large homes do not require elaborate audio systems. Placing just a few speakers in the right position can produce better sound quality than most elaborate audio systems. The key is, if you can control the area where the sound is being directed you can control the quality of sound. For example in a living room, the correct arrangement of only five surround sound speakers is enough to work wonders for your home entertainment system.

Here are the opening comments from Chris Welles Feder about her new book, IN MY FATHER'S SHADOW when she appeared in San Rafael on Monday:
There are many books that have been written on my father, biographies and critical studies and so on, but none of them have captured the Orson Welles that I knew. Also many of the people who wrote about my father either never met him, or they didn't meet him until the last 15 years of his life. So I felt I had a story to tell from the unique perspective of being his daughter. I think I'm probably one of the few people still alive who knew him when he was in his vigorous youth and he was at the top of his game. So I really wanted to recapture the young Orson Welles before he was beaten down by disappointments, betrayals and not getting the money he needed to make his movies. I wanted that vision to be out there as part of the record.

"The weapons that are smuggled to Gaza are mostly Grad missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, and recently during the Libyan revolution, advanced shoulder held anti-tank missiles came through," he said.
Menai also says it's very likely that the long-range Fajr-5 missiles have been smuggled through from the Egyptian side, "most likely hidden among other merchandise that is loaded onto big trucks that go through the big tunnels."
Last month, an Iranian diplomat at the United Nations said the allegation that Iran was using Sudan to supply Hamas with weapons was "totally unfounded, and we strongly reject these baseless allegations." Sudan has also denied "any link between Sudan's military production and foreign parties," according to its Foreign Ministry.
But in an interview with a Qatari newspaper earlier this month, Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said: "Let's assume that Iran has established an arms factory in Sudan. Is this forbidden? Within the framework of international laws, if there is a country that wants to buy weapons from us, we are ready."
The Yarmouk plant was "designated" by the United States as essentially under the control of Iran at the end of 2006 and thereby became the target of sanctions under the Iran and Syria Nonproliferation Act.
The strike on the night of October 24 was one of four unexplained attacks over the past three years against targets in Sudan.
Early on the morning of May 2, a Toyota Prado exploded on the outskirts of Port Sudan on the Red Sea, a city that Western intelligence agencies believe is a critical point on the smuggling route. Sudanese officials identified one of the victims as Nasir Awad Ahmad Saed, a wealthy businessman and tribal leader.
Sudan's foreign minister, Ali Ahmad Karti, suggested that the car was destroyed by an airstrike and told a pro-government network that the attack resembled previous Israeli attacks. Why Saed would have been targeted is unclear.
In a similar attack in Port Sudan a year earlier, a man who had just arrived at the city's airport was killed. Karti said at the time: "We know that it was an Israeli strike." But he denied the target was a Palestinian.
And in January 2009, a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles traveling between Khartoum and Port Sudan was hit and destroyed in an aerial attack.
