2012 Indiana Dulcimer Festival recap (Posted by Richard Ash on 8/15/2012)
On July 13, 14, and 15, 2012 Folkcraft Instruments hosted the third annual Indiana Dulcimer Festival. We had a slew of top-tier instructors - Bing Futch, Steve Seifert, Lois Hornbostel, Butch Ross, Dave Haas, Sue Carpenter, and Tull Glazener.
Most of our guests were repeat attendees. No big storms this year (and IDF first!). IDF 2012 was the first to utilize the nearly-complete concert hall. Here are a few photos that might jog a memory or two:
Tull Glazener on stage
Dave Haas on stage (with the overhead projector showing the audience how he does what he does)
Steve (Stephen) Seifert on stage
Ehukai Teves and Lois Hornbostel on stage

Dinner time (ravenous dulcimer players are gathering around the buffet table like wolves might gather around the carcass of an antelope - dulcimer players are more civilized than wolves, but after a long day of classes, they're just as hungry)
Chatting with friends while polishing off lunch
New for IDF2012 was our "official unofficial" jam leader. Mary Jane Cookingham did a marvelous job organizing after-hours jams and making sure there was plenty of food to keep the music going well into the night.
At least one audience member was enthralled with the dulcimer, and decided to start learning how to play right away.
Richard performs on the open mic concert
Thank you to all of our instructors and guests for IDF2012. We're already looking forward to IDF2013 - July 13, 2013 and July 14, 2013 (Saturday and Sunday).
Thanks for reading!

When people think of heirloom-quality instruments, they think of Folkcraft. Here's why: Our instruments are handmade in the United States of America, not in a cheap overseas factory. Our instruments are crafted one at a time, not on an assembly line. Our instruments are made of solid woods, not out of plywood.
Folkcraft instruments are made with pride and tradition, using the same methods as our founders used in 1968. Folkcraft Instruments is a family business, with two generations of luthiers putting their skill and experience into every instrument they create.

Comments On Apr 30, 2013:I love this sprocket. I have had it a little over a year. It is holding up good and it looks great. It is expensive, but it should outlast the stock aluminum sprockets.

Comments On Apr 22, 2013:Save a few $ in the long run and get a steel sprocket! These are heavier than the Ironman but still solid and probably more durable. No issues and no noticeable wear after over a year.

Comments On Mar 31, 2013:Has been on my bike for 2 years, went from my 450 to my 250 and still looks NEW

Comments On Mar 14, 2013:I ran this on my bike for a 2 hour xc Hare Scramble race and have over 12 hours in leisure rides and it shows no wear, i bought it with a new chain and front sprocket and reccomend you doing so as well. Some guys think they get more chain life from the aluminum sprockets but what's the point if you really need to replace things at the same time? I've always been a fan of steel, especially in brutal muddy conditions such as rain rides in sand etc.

Comments On Jan 22, 2013:This has been an awesome sprocket, has been on for two years of dirt/mud and sand ridding and still looks really good, lots of life left.

Comments On Aug 16, 2012:This is the single strongest sprocket on the market today. Ate my OEM sprocket on my YZ450F in three rides; my supersprocket is three seasons old and headed into another. AMAZING!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 12, 2012:Looks nice - but is virtually as heavy as a regular steel sprocket.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 04, 2012:Good, tough sprocket! Looks good too. Had this for 2 years on my 450 and teeth still look good. Just sold that bike with the sprocket and so getting another for my new bike.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jun 14, 2012:I am not sure that this sprocket is absolutley necessary for the average trail rider but I just like the look of them. This is my second sprocket. Previous sprocket lasted about 2000km. I probably could have got a little more but my chain and front sprocket were stuffed so I decided I may as well replace the lot. In all honesty, I think the cheaper all steel sprocket would be just as good but these to look good on the bike so why not get one. They do last pretty well considering I am a fat guy riding a 450 so there is a fair bit of stress on it. If you are tight for cash go the all steel sprocket. If you love bling or if you name is David Knight go for one of these.

My husband's paternal grandparents were diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2010 after years of exhibiting signs. More than losing their home and their independence, they lost themselves piece-by-piece as our family looked on, aching to stop the process. Alzheimer's is often called a "family disease," and I can attest to the truth of this label—Alzheimer's has devastated our family. Last year, I was looking for ways to get active and participated in The Walk to End Alzheimer's in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. With the support of friends and family, I was able
Originally from Connecticut, Jim attended UConn for a year and half after graduating from high school in 1980. In 1982, he joined the Air Force and started a 23-year career working on radar systems. His work took him around the world — Germany, Italy, the Caribbean, Columbia, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, South Carolina, and finally, Virginia — he was stationed in all of them. Jim worked hard and eventually made the rank of Senior Master Sergeant.
My Daddy passed away from Alz in 1996..I wrote this in tribute to him the Fathers Day 0f 1996, later that week he passed away. I didnt know at the time I when wrote this, that I would someday have the right venue to share my feelings of what I was going through. I hope this helps someone out there who is living through this nightmare now as a caregiver and son or daughter of your loving Daddy.

Campaigns & Issues
Woodland Court staff face secure future thanks to Brunelcare
Residents and staff at a retirement village in Downend have finally reached the end of two years of uncertainty, following the acquisition of Woodland Court by Brunelcare.
Previous owners of the 57 apartment village, Care Village Group, went into administration in June 2011, leaving the residents and staff with an uncertain future.
The top priority for the Bristol based charity has been to retain all 27 members of staff to ensure that the support services are maintained, whilst minimising any disruption to the residents.
Stamping their feet
THOUSANDS OF Post Office staff have taken part in strikes across the country following a dispute about closures, jobs and pay.
A staggering 88 per cent of Communication Workers Union members voted in favour of strike action, following a refusal from the Post Office to negotiate terms.
The 4,000 workers, from 373 offices, took part in the strikes in opposition to plans to close 76 offices.
They hope to protect jobs and services and secure a fair pay rise for Post Office staff - who have not had a wage increase since April 2011.

Health & Wellbeing
Loneliness is a 'ticking time bomb'
One in three people over the age of 50 struggles with loneliness – fuelled partly by a rise in later life divorces, according to an official study. Figures show almost seven million members of the baby-boomer generation and above admit to feeling lonely.
Research published as part of David Cameron's plan to measure the nation's 'happiness' said almost half of people over 80 feel lonely - many "much of the time".
Campaigns groups say the study, by the Office for National Statistics, suggests the generation approaching retirement will be a "loneliness time bomb".

Singing you heart out
Music sensation Billy Ocean takes time out talk to Laura Heads about the release of his latest album and how making music has changed dramatically during his 40 year career.
The star has sold over 30 million records in his lifetime and has collected a pile of Gold and Platinum awards across the world. Billy's unique reggae infused voice and musical style, representing his Trinidadian roots, are recognisable anywhere and it is that which has earned him his well-deserved number ones.
And the well-loved singer-song writer said that the way music is made has changed a lot since he first began in the 1970s. He said: "Music is now controlled by technology. New artists allow technology to control what they are doing.
New guide to travel insurance launched
THIS IS A handy to use and easy to read guide packed with tips aimed at helping older travellers when considering the purchase of travel insurance.
The guide came about as a result of the numerous enquiries we received here at the Mature Times' offices regarding travel insurance for older people. MT Editor Andrew Young says 'We receive many, many e-mails, letters and telephone calls from our readers regarding this subject. We know that as you get older travel insurance becomes more expensive, but there are ways that you can try to help offset some of these increases – and this guide can help you do that.'
Again no paper to beat Mature Times from day one of first publication all inside we need - thanks to all!

"Ready to race" in its purest form, the 450 SMR provides perfect technology for the supermoto racetrack. It is equipped with the very finest components that money can buy. The 450 SMR's barking OHC single cylinder engine has been taken fairly straight from the powerful new 450 SX-F motocross. The compact single's core is a high tech, OHC cylinder head with titanium valves and DLC coated rockerarms. That means an ultra-wide power band, a high redline and plenty of power from low engine speeds all the way to the maximum. Also derived from the 450 SX-F, the chrome-molybdenum frame with bolt-on aluminium subframe ensures maximum stability and the agility of a house fly. The 48 mm WP USD front forks and the fully adjustable linkage rear suspension guarantee full control in every track section. Sticky Dunlop slicks make for maximum traction, even when the radial, four-pot Magura front calliper chomps down mercilessly on the 310mm wave disc. In a word – out of the box and onto the grid. The 450 SMR is the invincible weapon for every supermoto race.
What isn't there won't weigh you down – that is the philosophy of the 690 SMC R. A brawny single, a rugged frame, draped with only the most essential components – that is all it takes for great fun on road and track. And it is the way to achieve a sensational weight of only little less than 140 kilos. Even the tubes in the tires are discarded thanks to specially developed laced wheels with airtight beds. The weight reduction thusly achieved lets the fully adjustable WP Suspension components do their job even more diligently. No wonder the LC4 power plant from the 690 Duke reserves an easy time propelling this hard core supermoto. Carried over from the enduro, the perfectly balanced layout with a self-supporting polymer tail tank ensures that skilled riders can sling the 690 SMC R effortlessly into any corner. An adult toy for experts!
"R" means racing – and the 990 SM R is the super sport bike among the supermotos. The 999 cc LC8 V2 with 116 hp serves some extra thrust while delivering a remarkably smooth partial load response thanks to its sophisticated electronic fuel injection. Only the finest components make it to the periphery of the 990 SM R – components like radial Brembo monoblock four-pot callipers on great 305 mm discs, controlled by the state-of-the-art Bosch 9M+ ABS. And the super sticky OEM Continental Sport Attack tires. Also, 48mm USD forks by WP and a rear shock from the same maker thrill with a razor sharp racing set-up as well as a highly sensitive response. Ingredients that just could not be better matched. Or simply the recipe for one of the most dynamic rides, not just in the Supermoto segment. The 990 SM R is just as much fun in the urban jungle as it is ticking off passes and out on the racetrack.

The Dr. Robert A. Davidson Charitable Fund presents
Broadway From Then 'Til Now 3…and more
A Concert of Broadway Showtunes, old and new
plus a little extra
Proceeds to Benefit the Portsmouth Public Education Foundation (PPEF), the PHS Music Boosters, and Looking Upwards.
Saturday February 2, 2013
Portsmouth High School Auditorium
Tickets $20 Adults, $10 Children Under 10
TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE: broadwaythentilnow.eventbrite.com or Call 401-683-2824
The concert was organized by professional actor/musicians Laurie Davidson Spaner, daughter of Dr. Davidson, and her husband Craig Spaner of Portsmouth who have many years of experience performing in the Boston area as well as RI, NY, and CT. Joining Mr. & Mrs. Spaner in the group of 12 singers, 5 dancers, and 7 band members will be Kim Kekligian Stamoulis, Sara Moore, Blake Allan, Abby Moore, & Andreas Evangelatos of Portsmouth, Lily Ferreira of Middletown, Bristol native Adam Cavalieri, several Boston area professionals,& students of Stage Door Dance.
The Dr. Robert A. Davidson Charitable Fund was formed in memory of Dr. Robert A. Davidson, known to most as Bob or Dr. D., who was a Portsmouth resident who practiced dentistry in Tiverton for 37 years. The fund is dedicated to raising money for local community causes. Bob was dedicated to his family and his community, especially children, so the organizations chosen seemed a perfect fit. Also, seven of Dr. Davidson's grandchildren attend Elementary & Middle school in Portsmouth and two more will be entering the school system.

Why is this letting me upload the photos (I have 14) but only showing 5 of them??
Olga Enger
10:42 am on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
They don't appear to have gotten uploaded. I only see five. If you click the "upload photos" button, you should be able to add the ones that didn't get all the way uploaded.
Laurie Spaner
10:52 am on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
When I go to upload photos, they're all there but it says "pending".
Olga Enger
10:59 am on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Try is one more time. Make sure you let them upload (don't close out). If it still doesn't work email me at email@example.com and we can work with help. But it sounds like there was just a glitch.
Laurie Spaner
11:20 am on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Still trying. I clicked "reprocess" and they're still reprocessing, I guess.
Laurie Spaner
11:23 am on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Okay, so the ones I'm trying to upload for Portsmouth say "reprocessing" while the Middletown ones say "pending". None working.
Olga Enger
11:15 am on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
You could try, but if that doesn't work just try uploading them again. I haven't heard of this issue, so something just sounds funky. Email me if still a problem, we can get tech support on it.

I often have a random GW2 question or thought that I think isn't thread worthy so I don't ask it or share...but I wish there was a misc thread for it all before I forget it as I know I will. And now there is! Use this thread when ever you want to share something random about GW2 or have a minor quesitons you didn't want to start a thread about and it doesn't fit anywhere else.
Here are a few I had today:
What are all the actions possible? /dance, /sleep, /kneel, /laugh, /cry, /sit, /wave what else?
How much gold does everyone have? Am I really behind/ahead?
If anyone here sPvP's in certain areas you have trebs that can be used by either side and randomly a voice will yell out "Trebuuuuuuucheeee" and alot of the time when I run into a random treb in WvW, that voice pops into my head yelling :Trebuuuuucheeeee!"
That's it for now.


text: This ring represents the spirit of the romantic and bold cowgirls of the Wild West. A polished oval cabochon of peach moonstone stands out from a twisted-rope frame of sterling silver. The cigar-band shank of this elongated ring is crafted from swirling designs of stamped copper and scalloped edges of silver. Giving the Old Frontier a modern feminine touch, this treasure is both strong and delicate. The ring measures 1" long x 7/8" wide. Made in USA.

Government IT Pros See Savings, Challenges In Big Data
Big data may cut budgets, fight crime, cure diseases and personalize services, say federal and state IT officials in TechAmerica/SAP survey.
The report, "Big Data and the Public Sector," is based on a survey of 198 IT decision makers in state and federal government. According to the survey, 83% of federal IT officials estimate that the use of big data could lead to cost savings of 10% or more. Based on the size of the federal budget, that would translate into $380 billion in potential savings.

More >>Reports
- Research: Federal IT Priorities: Focus On The Foundation
- Government: IT Project Management: Adopting Lightweight Methods
Three-quarters of the state IT decision makers surveyed said big data would benefit public safety. For example, police departments are starting to develop predictive models to detect when and where crimes are likely to occur, the report said.
[ Curious how local governments tap technology to improve services? See 10 Cities Raise Tech IQs In IBM Challenge. ]
Another potential benefit is the ability to personalize government services, according to 75% of federal IT respondents. Both federal (87%) and state (75%) respondents cited big data use in healthcare as a way of detecting diseases and finding more effective treatments.
The White House launched a federal big data initiative last March. Six federal agencies -- the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the departments of Defense and Energy, National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) -- plan to collectively invest $200 million in big data research and development.
But the magnitude of data volumes and related costs, as well as concerns about privacy, remain challenges. Privacy was mentioned as the biggest barrier to adoption by 47% of federal IT pros surveyed. Uncertainty about return on investment is an issue for 42% of federal respondents. And 39% worry about the high cost of deploying new tools and the level of investment needed.
Although most of the government IT decision makers surveyed are satisfied with the way their organizations handle big data, they identified areas for improvement. Those include more effective storage for large amounts of information, breaking existing silos that make it difficult to make timely decisions, a need for central management, and creating policies that are enforced.

The EU Commission presents its new Rethinking Education - Education and Training Monitor 2012
The youth unemployment rate is close to 23% across the European Union – yet at the same time there are more than 2 million vacancies that cannot be filled.
Europe needs a radical rethink on how education and training systems can deliver the skills needed by the labour market. The challenge could not be tougher in the context of widespread austerity measures and cuts in education budgets. Today, the European Commission is launching a new strategy called Rethinking Education to encourage Member States to take immediate action to ensure that young people develop the skills and competences needed by the labour market and to achieve their targets for growth and jobs.
Rethinking Education calls for a fundamental shift in education, with more focus on 'learning outcomes' - the knowledge, skills and competences that students acquire. Merely having spent time in education is no longer sufficient. In addition, basic literacy and numeracy still needs to be significantly improved, and entrepreneurial skills and a sense of initiative need to be developed or strengthened (see IP/12/1224 on call for stronger focus on new skills in schools).
To ensure that education is more relevant to the needs of students and the labour market, assessment methods need to be adapted and modernised. The use of ICT and open educational resources (OER) should be scaled-up in all learning contexts. Teachers need to update their own skills through regular training. The strategy also calls on Member States to strengthen links between education and employers, to bring enterprise into the classroom and to give young people a taste of employment through increased work-based learning. EU Education Ministers are also encouraged to step-up their cooperation on work-based learning at national and European level.
Floe - Flexible learning for open education
Floe provides the resources needed to enable inclusive access to personally relevant, engaging learning opportunities for the full diversity of learners and content producers. Through the Open Education Resources community, Floe makes tools that help transform, augment, and personalize the learning experience.
Diffusion and adoption of OER
The paper reflects on institutional development practices regarding the dimensions and models of collaboration and innovation within communities and networks of practice. A frame of reference is used, which aids the analysis of the OER diffusion and adoption processes in each case.

Le Zbor
Zagreb, Croatia
Ringing through the squares and halls of Zagreb, Croatia, you may hear the sound of the country's one-of-a-kind, lesbian feminist A Cappella choir, Le Zbor. A Croatian group based in the capital, Zagreb, Le Zbor, bridges the gap between art and activism, fearlessly and elegantly, delivering their original and unusual repertoire along with their feminist messages to Zagreb's cultural scene.
The group was formed in 2005 by a small group of former choir members who, in response to their experiences of homophobia and patriarchal leadership, chose to create a new choral group that would not only produce fantastic music but also serve as an inclusive LGBTIQ safe space and a platform for political activism. Homophobia is pervasive throughout the Balkans, including Croatia.
Discrimination and violent crimes based on gender identity or sexual orientation are difficult and constant struggles faced by LGBTIQ women and men in Croatia. The denial of lesbian identities in Croatia is just one issue Le Zbor seeks to challenge through its music. Today, Le Zbor has 10 members, an eclectic repertoire, and a beloved reputation both as an integral member of Zagreb's LGBTIQ and women's movements, and as a unique entity on Zagreb's cultural map. Le Zbor's innovation extends far beyond its original musical arrangements and performances.
Through its work, Le Zbor is taking on issues of gender and homophobia in Croatian society, utilizing new media and popular art to engage its peers in different forms of civic and political participation. The choir concentrates its performances in "socially-engaged events" and "alternative cultural happenings," ensuring that its unique sound and messages of inclusion, and disapproval of all forms of discrimination are heard through its music.
According to Le Zbor, "Certain types of music, that is—lyrics in combination with the right moment—can transmit a strong political message, one that is coded in a language that everybody is able to understand." Through its music, Le Zbor questions heteronormativity and enables a more critical analysis of patriarchy, gender roles, gender stereotypes and homophobia in Croatian culture and society.
Since its formation in October 2005, the choir has performed at many venues, including many LGBTIQ and women's events such as FemFest, International Women's Day Celebration, Queer Zagreb Festival, International Conference on Trafficking, and has for visiting Global Fund staff! The choir's broad repertoire ranges from otherwise-neglected revolutionary songs to rock and pop songs about women to Macedonian folk songs. Watch Le Zbor perform one of their most popular tracks called "Moj de_ko je gej" ("My boyfriend is gay"). Visit Lezbor on the web!

It should be even funnier than that terrible documentary THE BATTLE OVER CITIZEN KANE.
Mr. Thomson's recent piece on CITIZEN KANE lists it as the #5 Art House movie of all time and includes these profound insights:
...that it was a film ultimately about his own flawed glory ("There, but for the grace of God, goes God," people said);
...that he cared more about being outrageous than he did about the money.
...And Welles would prove not only self-destructive, but also his own worst enemy...
...It breathed the unAmerican gospel: see what one man can do, see how films can be owned and authored not by the factory, but by brilliant minds bent on self-expression.
...In Kane and Welles alike, there was the same rueful mixture of genius and lack of self-belief.
RayKelly wrote:I interviewed George Feltenstein of Warner Home Video yesterday for a piece I am writing on the Warner Archives series. ...We talked about many other films and upcoming projects. It is great to know that someone who has a fan's appreciation of films is working in home video.

The ESPN Article is for Insiders, but it also links to this Sun Sentinel articleHowever, with the Dolphins' offseason in full-swing, there now appears to be a chance that he'll be brought back. According to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland has had numerous conversations with Long this offseason as the Michigan product rehabilitates his triceps injury at the team facilities. Ireland would not divulge any specifics regarding the negotiations on a new deal or his willingness to use the franchise tag on Long.
"It's one of those avenues we have there available to us," he said of the franchise tag. "To negotiate in the media right now, I'm not going to give you my plans or what I plan to do from a franchise standpoint but it's certainly available to us and we'll use those avenues to make those decisions moving forward ... we've got some tough decisions to make here moving forward."

Chorus trumpets the arrival of Christmas
Thursday, November 15, 2012
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine -- "Gloria in Excelsis Deo" (glory to God in the highest), the liturgical phrase most readily identified with Christmas, is the theme for this year's holiday concert by the 66-member Community Chorus at South Berwick. The instruments exclusively associated with that phrase — brass — in this case, a brass quintet along with percussion and piano, will provide the accompaniment. |

Essemtec AG is opening Essemtec Benelux
Press release, April 20, 2009
Essemtec Switzerland has announced that as of April 2009, the new subsidiary Essemtec Benelux will be responsible for all activities of the Swiss SMT equipment supplier regarding Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. The first official presentation will be at the Electronics & Automation exhibition in Utrecht (27th – 29th of May 2009).
Tom Van Tongelen, former sales manger at Contax Benelux, is responsible for Essemtec Benelux. The office is located in Herselt, Belgium. Essemtec with the new subsidiary a local service and support organisation to fully support the customer's requirements. With Tom Van Tongelen, a strong partner who knows the Benelux market could be won. "We are really satisfied, that we could win Tom Van Tongelen for our new step in the market. For us, Benelux is one of the major markets in Europe, with a high potential of our target group of prototyping to midsize customers," explains Peter Müller, Area Sales Manger for Benelux.
Essemtec Benelux offers and supports complete product range for entry level machines for SMD manufacturing. Directly from manufacturer to end-user, the equipment covers prototyping up to mid volume production. Their engineers have long years experience in SMT technology and can offer both, machine and process trainings.
Essemtec Benelux will be official presented for the first time at the Electronics & Automation exhibition at Utrecht 27th – 29th of May 2009 (booth B051). Beside the official presentation, Essemtec Benelux will show a complete turnkey line, including the semi automatic printer SP150, the fully automatic pick and place system FLX2011 and the reflow oven RO300FC. For prototyping the manual pick and place system Expert will be shown too.
The SP150 is an affordable fine pitch printer available with vision alignment. Setup and changeover are quick tasks when using this printer. Therefore, this machine is perfect for the production of small to midsize batches. It controls all important print parameters. It prints reproducibly and precisely independent of the operator.
The SP150 ensures best prerequisites for fine pitch printing: the vision system and the integrated stencil cleaning guarantee the perfect alignment and proper print conditions. Due to its space saving design with a front drawer, the SP150 is well suited
for small and medium size enterprises.
The FLX2011 pick & place machine is state of the art. It offers an extraordinary application range, ideal for high mix production. It features easy programming and set-up, an intelligent feeder and inventory concept and enables changeover with no downtime. The machine provides leading production technology, based on the experience on over 1'000 installations worldwide.
The feeders of the FLX-system are automatically recognised by the machine to eliminate programming time. A bar code based set up procedure avoids wrong loaded parts and ensures the highest possible quality level. Beside this the intelligent, light weight and ultra-compact feeders can safely be exchanged while the machine is in production. The universal magnetic PCB holder enables quick changeover. No tooling is required for format change. The bottom clearance is very large to produce double sided PCB or to install customer specific substrate holders. These features make the FLX2011 to one of the most flexible machines in the market.
The RO300FC exclusively heats with hot air convection and can be used for the different tasks in SMT assembly, especially for the reflow soldering of lead free solder pastes or the curing of adhesives. It features easy operation, perfect reflow results and a robust construction. It is well suited for continuous production, small batch manufacturing and prototyping.
The EXPERT placement system is designed for rapid prototyping and small batch manufacturing. The integrated dispensing system and hot air soldering tool make this machine a complete production center in one single unit. Over 2000 systems are in daily use worldwide.

Ideas and opportunities to engage young people about going smoke-free. These proven Take Action programs are perfect for those of you looking to create a group opportunity to help young people get off and stay off tobacco. For more information on any of these Take Action ideas, contact Shana Fulkerson, Youth Healthy Living Specialist at the GLBT Community Center of Colorado. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Phone: 303-831-0442
"Butt Walk" Activity The theme of tobacco and the environment is a perfect combination to get started on thinking about the ways in which tobacco is harmful in the environment. Some of the reasons include: secondhand smoke exposure to children and animals, cigarette butts not being biodegradable and polluting water sources, animals getting sick from eating the butts, deforestation from tobacco farming and production, and fires caused by discarded cigarettes.
Chat with some youth leaders to help them motivate their peers to participate -you might need to offer some creative incentives. For example, one professional had received requests from youth to re-paint the dance floor area at our community center. Although the link to the environment wasn't very clear, he figured it could be just crazy enough to work. He allowed the youth one week to draw up a dance floor decorating plan; and by the end of the week he had eight plans. He then collected eight large containers for collecting cigarette butts. During "Butt Walk Week" the youth went out in the neighborhood with gloves and bags to collect butts to use as votes for which dance floor plan they liked the most.
Host A Drag Free Drag Show This can be a one-time event or a reoccurring activity. At various drop-in centers, drag shows are popular ways for young people to share their dancing and singing talents. They have been popular in the past, so the "drag free" drag show is a great way for youth to abstain from tobacco for a night. If they sign a smoke-free pledge, they can enter a drawing for prizes at the end of the night. A drag free drag show is also a good opportunity to have resources and ways to help youth quit smoking (for the night or longer). You can provide quit smoking tips, gum, toothpicks, water, and peer support. During intermission, a tobacco-themed game or message is presented by staff or youth to raise awareness and offer an educational message.
Make A Zine A "Zine" is a magazine made by individuals and small groups at the local level to share thoughts, ideas, art, or stories on a particular topic. You could create a Zine that addresses health or tobacco.
Organize A Rally There are many national tobacco awareness events throughout the year that are custom-made for youth groups. You can pass out information to the public, visit the capitol building and make signs to raise awareness about tobacco use in your community. May 31st is the World No Tobacco Day, and November 15th is the Great American Smokeout. Both are great opportunities to create an event.
Start A Youth Outreach Team Peer-to-peer education is essential for a successful tobacco program. If you work with youth, get leaders trained to talk to their peers about tobacco use and other tobacco topics. Once youth are trained they can attend larger community events, do street outreach and help organize other events for your community. Some good ways to engage youth can be initiating incentive programs and recognizing their efforts and ideas. Organize a training, invite youth in your community to join, and have food and fun while you recruit youth!

00:01Well I'm here to talk about something not quite so glamorous and it's not sunshine. Accuracy.
00:06And accuracy is important and that's why you need volunteered geographic information.
00:13Doesn't sound quite right, does it?
00:14What's a surveyor doing talking about accuracy and a bunch of guys running around with cell phones collecting information?
00:20Well if we believe the currency and correctness and completeness are forms of accuracy, then we all need VGI.
00:26We need accurate information to get the efficiencies out of our systems.
00:31We need accuracies to expand the uses.
00:33And we need accuracy just to get the right answer.
00:36So accuracy is improving at a rapid rate in all forms of data.
00:41So let's look at a parallel.
00:45How accurate is this?
00:46Eons ago you want to meet for a beer at 3:00.
00:49This is what we had.
00:50Good to about 20 minutes on a sunny day and in the daytime.
00:56And not everybody had one.
00:58So we put them on the walls of public buildings and churches, so it kind of brought us together little bit as a community.
01:02We're beginning to synchronize and get some efficiencies from time.
01:06And as technology progressed, we built pendulum clocks.
01:09Want to meet for 3:00 at the community pub?
01:12No problem.
01:13Good 24/7.
01:14Even multimedia, had chimes, right?
01:16So we really gained a lot of efficiencies through this synchronization.
01:22And we could even meet after dark, right, because it worked after dark.
01:27At this same time, for a couple centuries from about 1500 to 1750...
01:31...the Europeans were crashing ships into the east coast of the Americas, and they were losing thousands of ships.
01:37They couldn't calculate longitude.
01:39Actually, Sir Isaac Newton thought that longitude was not a calculable thing, it's a function of time.
01:46But pendulum clocks were fixed.
01:48The most important invention at the time was the Harrison clock.
01:51This is the H4 that's revolutionized navigation.
01:54It revolutionized time.
01:55It allowed us to take time from being fixed and we could...it was now portable.
02:00This actually ended up becoming wristwatch and all kinds of things.
02:02Technology was going from a pendulum to a clock spring.
02:06Huge change.
02:10The next change is the Casio watch.
02:14This is when we went from a mechanical device to a digital device.
02:19It's hard to think about any piece of electronics right now without a clock on it.
02:24It's just a little chip.
02:25It's just a little piece of electronics, faster, cheaper, better, smarter.
02:28Just the whole way electronics goes.
02:32GPS is the Casio watch of positioning.
02:36Right now, we can do subcentimeter worldwide in real time.
02:41Devices are getting smaller.
02:42They're getting cheaper.
02:43They're getting easier to use.
02:45We're attaching GPS to everything.
02:48It's in our phones of course.
02:50Nokia owns all the patents to make our phones good to 10 cm.
02:56What happens when the accuracy of the phone is better than your basemap?
03:02What happens when everybody's phone is better than your basemap?
03:06What do we do?
03:07We can't remap.
03:09It's too expensive and we don't have the time.
03:12So what do we do?
03:14We need to build incremental improvement of accuracy into our daily workflows...
03:19...and using all different types of data, lidar, imagery, even volunteered geographic information.
03:25So let's take a look at an example.
03:28County does a new ortho project, 6-inch positional accuracy, 3-inch pixels.
03:32Pretty good stuff.
03:34Parcels don't overlay.
03:35We're not going to go remap the parcels.
03:37But we can harvest the measurements from those parcels and build a measurement network...
03:41...to improve the parcels and synchronize them with the orthos.
03:46We can actually take the information from that synchronization and use that to control the accuracies of other features in GIS.
03:53We have time/date stamps and we have feature-level metadata.
03:57So we have a lot of tools in the toolbox to build these workflows to keep ahead of the improving accuracy.
04:06Alright, now let's look at another example here, everybody's favorite, sewer manhole.
04:11Who has the most accurate information on this manhole?
04:16Well the engineer has the rim to about a hundredth of a foot which is about an eighth of an inch...
04:19...so you don't go thump, thump when you drive over it.
04:22He also has the inverts or the flow lines so things flow the appropriate direction.
04:27Now the public works director has a mapping location, and he's got inspection reports, and he's got construction specifications...
04:34...he's got all kinds of information on this manhole.
04:38But who really has the most accurate information on this manhole?
04:41The manhole cover was stolen.
04:45This is a hazard, it's a liability, and it needs to be fixed immediately.
04:51Guy walks out his front door, picks up the newspaper, and takes a picture with his GPS phone.
04:58Who has the most accurate information on that manhole?
05:03So as GIS professionals, we need to think about aggregating all types of data together...
05:08...and we need to think about our workflows to increase to our daily work the accuracy of our data.
05:16It's not authoritative data versus volunteered geographic information...
05:20...it's authoritative data and volunteered geographic information.
Who Has the Most Accurate Information?
Brent Jones, Esri surveying and engineering manager, talks about building accuracy into all our workflows and how to gather the most recent and accurate data.

Event Details
On the 100th anniversary of the creation of Girl Scouts, Telfair Museums takes a look at Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low's interest in art, both as an artist and as an art organizer.
In addition to creating her own art, Low took a leading role in the Savannah art scene in the early 20th century as a founding member of the Savannah Art Club, which was established in 1920. Through this new organization, Low and other Savannah artists sought to promote and improve the quality of fine arts created, offered, and displayed in the city.
Juliette Gordon Low and her Contemporaries in Savannah's Art Scene will expand the scope of knowledge about of one of America's most influential women by bringing together a variety of works created by her and other Savannah artists working in the first half of the last century.
For information on Group Tours and Girl Scout activities, please contact Caryn Turgeon at 912.790.8827 or email@example.com.

Weird and Wacky Engineering
VHF, VHF, wherefore art thou VHF?
Clive Maxfield
The great thing is that this little scamp still functions as shown above. I would love to have it working here in my office, sitting on the corner of the desk muttering away to itself. The thing is that I need a VHF feed to drive it (the above pic was taken in a local TV repair shop where they managed to generate a suitable signal).
The problem, of course, is that no one transmits analog television signals anymore – everything has gone digital. So what am I to do?
Actually, while I think about it I should note that someone has disconnected the "Rabbit Ears Antenna" at the back and added a coaxial cable connector as shown below, so this will make things just a tad easier.
One option would be to pick up an old VHS video recorder along with a few tapes ("I Love Lucie," perhaps). However, that would get boring after a while. Also, I don't want to spend my days waiting for VHS tapes to rewind (I've spent enough of my life doing that).
Given a choice, my #1 vote would be to have the ability to have the CNN (cable network news) channel playing all day in the background. That way I would actually have a clue what was going on in the world (if "it" isn't on National Public Radio on my drive into work or back home again, then I don't know about "it").
Perhaps not too surprisingly, I don't have any form of cable here in my office. What I do have is a WiFi connection to the Internet. So, what I would ideally like is something like an Apple TV as discussed in my
Streaming your iPad videos thru a "Henry" blog. That is, I want a small box that can connect via WiFi to the Internet on one side and stream live television out of the other side. Ideally it should output VHF, but if it outputs a digital signal I need some sort of converter.
Any ideas?
If you found this article to be interest, visit Microcontroller / MCU Designline where – in addition to my Max's Cool Beans blogs on all sorts of "stuff" – you will find the latest and greatest design, technology, product, and news articles with regard to all aspects of designing and using microcontrollers.
Also, you can obtain a highlights update delivered directly to your inbox by signing up for my weekly newsletter – just Click Here to request this newsletter using the Manage Newsletters tab (if you aren't already a member you'll be asked to register, but it's free and painless so don't let that stop you [grin]).
Last but certainly not least, make sure you check out all of the discussions and other information resources at All Programmable Planet. For example, in addition to blogs by yours truly, microcontroller expert Duane Benson is learning how to use FPGAs to augment (sometimes replace) the MCUs in his robot (and other) projects.
I am not sure if you will be able to identify your model here without actually visiting, but you may find the MZTV Museum of Television (in Toronto) (http://www.mztv.com/) of interest. The new site doesn't seem to have a link to pictures of some of the TVs so try the gallery on this old one (http://www.mztv.com/newframe.asp?content=http://www.mztv.com/moses.html).
I got to see an exhbition several years ago during "Doors Open Toronto" and it was fantastic.
Max the Magnificent
If I ever make it to Toronto I will make a point of visiting this museum -- thanks for sharing
You forgot to sign up for your free digital TV converter box. http://www.dtv.gov/
Actually I think you should use it as the head of your robot avatar. Then it could roam the halls with the image from your web cam.
Max the Magnificent
Re the digital TV converter -- you are right, I never signed up for one, but my friend Brian LaGrave stopped by my office earlier this morning on his way to visit a customer and he gave me one unopened in its original box -- I'll report back on ho wit works as soon as I find a moment to try it out (I need to get an antenna first)
Also I LOVE the idea of using it on a Telepresense robot
Max,depending on the strength of the digital signals in your area and the construction of the building you're in, the rabbit ears may work as an antenna for the DTV box. Just use a 300ohm-75ohm balun to connect the ears on the TV to the DTV box, and the one already on the TV to connect to the DTV box output. Hide the DTV box behind the TV, and you have a working TV, pulling in off-air signals with its own rabbit ears!
This should work: Get a Raspberry Pi and run Raspbmc (Raspberry Pi Media Center, www.raspbmc.com). Put RasPi's composite video and stereo audio outputs through an RF Modulator to convert to VHF channel 3 or 4.
Max the Magnificent
Thanks for the suggestion -- but first I'll try the digital to analog converter Brian just gave me (see comments above)

Max, @Betajets's suggestion of using an RF modulator is good - you can then feed ANY video output from anything (you can even get PC cards with video outputs) to your TV.
If you can pick up a defunct VHS recorder (another visit to Mock?), they usually have an RF video/sound modulator in them and you can adapt them to PC or DTV Set-top-box outputs - but it will probably involve a bit of getting your hands dirty. And since Australian video standards are different from yours, you won't be able to send it to me to fix :-) though most TVs these days are multi-standard.
You may be able to buy something which has video/audio inputs one end a a VHF feedout the other end, I'm not sure where though....

David -- check out my comment above about the converter Brian just gave me

I didn't realise that anything-to-VHF converters were still so readily available. I'd probably get more fun out of taking one out of a dead VCR, but then I'm a masochist... :-)
I found a bunch of RF modulators at amazon.com. Just search for "RF modulator" in "Electronics". I think it's video game consoles that keep them manufactured -- when you replace the family CRT with a nice flat-screen, give the kids the old CRT to use with a video game console.
If you use RasPi, make sure you get one with audio inputs since its composite video doesn't have sound.
Edit: If you use RasPi, make sure you get an RF modulator with audio input jacks since RasPi's composite video output doesn't have sound.
Of course the RasPi composite video doesn't include sound. Composite video never does. It was broadcast on another frequency, usually 5.5 or 6 MHz above the video carrier, so any modulator with sound will have two inputs.
If you want an "off-the shelf" solution, you might want to look a set-top streaming box like Roku, WDTV Live, or Boxee. My favorite is the WDTV Live because it will stream just about any video format you can throw at it. In addition to the HDMI output it has composite video and audio that you can plug into an inexpensive modulator which will put it on channel 3 or 4 for your TV.

Thanks Rick -- let's see how that digital to analog converter Brian gave me (see above) works first...
You might want to have some fun with a "flying spot scanner". I thought that they were just the nuts when I was a teen! It's a natural for analog video. Yea, I'm a little off topic, but I'm easily distracted.
That TV may still be useable depending on where you live.
If you live in an area where standard digital Television does not cover due to terrain or distance then translator stations, which are typically run by private individuals or community groups, are allowed to provide television service by the use of translator stations which are not yet required to use digital modulation.
For instance mountainous regions of the Western US still have some VHF translators broadcasting over the air using NTSC video.

Ah, but I'm based in Huntsville, Alabama, which is a high-technology nexus in a flat area -- as far as I know we are squeaky-clean digital these days...
Another thing, that's a early 1970's vintage Panasonic TV which was actually nicknamed the FLYING SAUCER.
It was not fun to work on repairs with that TV set either due to the way it comes apart.
FWIW, I use a DTV to VHF converter box at my house in the mountains with my 15 year old Panasonic 32" tube set. Works fine for the 3 or 4 channels I can get, though, since I am in a fringe area, the reception gets "blocky" at times. This is a lot more annoying than the analog snow I used to have before the conversion to digital.
"I don't want to spend my days waiting for VHS tapes to rewind (I've spent enough of my life doing that"
I'll take rewinding VHS after my movies over the modern-day unskipable logos/warnings/ads jammed in the beginning of DVDs & BluRays. The optical disc authors have become either obnoxious or lazy (unsure which).

And any VHS player produced since Noah was in the ark does auto-rewind at the end of the tape anyway (and it's a good opportunity to make a cup of tea / fetch another beer :-)
Max the Magnificent
I don;t think I ever had a VHS player that did auto-rewind -- you must have lived in the post end of town
Max the Magnificent
I agree -- all I want to do is watch the DVD, not see reams of un-blockable adverts
Remember the Commodore VIC20? It had external RF modulator, but most RF modulators do UHF band only.
I remember having this old B/W (1959 model) TV with VHF input only. With the help from some grown-ups, I managed to get my hands on this modulator for VHF range, so I could get my Commodore VIC20 and 64 to run on it, but Im afraid they're all buried now (except for the TV wich is stacked up on some attic).
That was desperate times for a young geek.
There still are some low power stations in analog. Nothing you'd want to watch, probably. We use a converter on our old boob tube and it works fine. Puts out a channel 3 signal. They sell them online, but are a staple of garage sales.
Or, you could put a 7 inch tablet in place of the CRT guts. That would be cool.
I have three analog TV's at three different locations out in the country. I have the digital converter boxes connected to the analog TV's and everything works fine. Because of the distance from the TV stations, I use outside antenna's but if you are close to the TV stations, a set of external rabbit ears, available at most Radio Shacks, will work fine.
As far as connecting other sources to old TV's others have mentioned the RF modulators. They to are still available.

Hi Clive -- I think you are the first Clive I've met here on EE Times (for those who don't know, Max is my nickname -- my given name is Clive)
Thanks for the input here -- Max (sorry, Clive)
You can have a system that will display anything that you can see on your computer screen. Many portable computers already have the composite video output connector, often it looks similar to the external mouse or keyboard connector, except for having seven pins. Or purchase a scan converter, VGA in and composite video out. Then the "TV modulator" gets the composite video and the audio from the computer earphone connector. Set the modulator to channel 3 or 4 and you are all set. If the rabbit ears on your TV set are connected, connect a similar pair to the modulator and you are good for a few feet of broadcast range. If not, use a piece of cable to connect it to that Balun on the back of your set. Even Radio Shack has sold those modulators, so that is one more potential source.
Did the digital converter work? If you want one of those anything inputs to VHF I've got one in a closet I can send you... Doesn't look like i'll ever need it.
