As Adairville Elementary School student McKenna Smith was undergoing a 24-hour chemotherapy treatment Monday evening, students, parents, teachers and other community members were holding a special cancer awareness night at the school's home basketball game.
McKenna Smith is an 11-year-old at the Adairville school who was diagnosed with lueikenia in October.
Before the games, cancer survivors were recognized and those not so lucky were memorialized.
T-shirts and bracelets were also sold to help raise money for McKenna's medical bills.
"We also auctioned off a pair of UK-Vanderbilt basketball tickets," said Lori Dunlap, who has helped with several fundraisers for McKenna. "They went for $250. Someone just contacted us a few days before the game on Monday and donated them anonymously."
It was just one of many ways the community has reached out and helped the family during this time of need.
There has also been a chili supper and live auction held at the school and a community yard sale and charity walk held as benefits.
"The community has been awesome supporting her," Dunlap said.
Also, a fund has been set up at the Adairville branch of Lewisburg Bank in McKenna's name and many other donations have come in to it, Dunlap said.
During Monday's game, McKenna was able to have a video chat with the Adairville cheerleaders and other students.
"I think it hit her hard that night, not being able to be there and watch the game when she knew they were doing all this for her," Dunlap said.
McKenna tried out for the cheerleading squad, made it and was able to attend one practice before her diagnosis came down.
Dunlap said it's been hard for McKenna, who hasn't been able to be as active as an 11-year-old normally would because of all the cancer treatments.
"Her birthday was last week, and got to have friends over for a brief time," Dunlap said. "But she doesn't get to go out nearly as much as she would like."
Dunlap said McKenna's mother, Leigh Ann, has been especially moved by all the support the family has received.
"We grew up together, we've known each other since Kindergarten," she said. "Knowing everybody is so supportive and giving, it's humbled her. Everything the community is giving her, she wants to be able to pay back one day."
Leigh Ann has not been able to work as she has been taking care of McKenna and the support has been a big help, Dunlap said.
"Everything that they go through daily - I can't imagine," Dunlap said. "I think they've spent the a lot of the last three weeks at the Vanderbilt children's hospital. They spent Thanksgiving and Christmas in the hospital. It's just been very hard on the family."

Honda's substandard powertrain and it's lack of standing by their product when repairs are needed when it's an obvious engeneering fault make it a 3 rating for my expectation. I will not recommend a Honda Odessey to anyone in my family or friends.

I think Netscape 8.1 is an evolution of the path started with 8.0.
A path that seems to target "dumb and dumber" internet users that
are scared to death to surf the interweb and who have little knowledge.
This is very different from the core user base that Netscape 7.x enjoyed.
AOL/Netscape would have a surprise if they resurrect the 7.x series,
updating it and basing it on the new "SeaMonkey 1.0" internet

A certain manager once hinted about the possibility of resurrecting
the Netscape 7.x line. Well, with SeaMonkey 1.0 already in beta,
what a better time to please the "power users" than starting now?.

taste like air
By yummy

See all my reviews
We usually eat the gerber puffs but i figured i'd try these out as the label makes them seem healthier. She wont eat any of them, so i tried one and they taste like air so gross. we tried 2 flavors but it was a no go so we gave away the last container!
Well worth it!

These are a different shape than the Gerber puffs, but my daughter stuffed 'em in faster. Overall, better product and more puffs for the same money than alternate brands.
Love this product!!!!

Baby won't touch them. really bland.
Great snack/distraction - but no taste
By Protective Mommy
from Miami, FL
My first Happy Baby puffs were the green puffs which consisted of spinach, collard greens, and kale. They were pretty bland but my son loved them so I decided to try the fruit puffs hoping there would be more flavor. They still have no taste whether they are apple, strawberry, banana, or vegetable - really no taste. However my son still eats them, they provide a great distraction, not a choking hazard, and there are more puffs per bottle compared to other brands.Taste wise I wouldn't buy them again. If there was more taste to the puffs I would continue with Happy Baby but I'll use up the three pack and get a different with more taste next time.

Crack for babies
By Lily
from Albany, OR
Both my kids love these. My infant was recently introduced to them and he goes nuts when he sees the canister. He starts waving his arms, clapping and screeching. His older sister hadn't had them since she was an infant but has fallen in love all over with them. They definitely keep the other one occupied while I'm getting his food or eating at a restaurant. Personally, I think they all taste the same regardless of flavor. Kind of like crunchy air. But, they love them which is all that matters.
Very Bland tasting
By MumofTwo
from Pittsburgh
I purchased this three pack of puffs to try after reading all the great reviews. Well I don't know whether we got a defective pack but ours tasted awful. Only the Banana puffs had any definite flavor and even then it was faint. The Apple and Strawberry were so bland that you couldn't tell the difference between them. They also had a strange after taste. I threw them away and have returned to using the Plum brand of puffs.
Baby Girl's Favs!
By MyLittleRedHead
from orlando, FL
We started giving these to our daughter at 9 months to encourage her to chew/gum her food. When we ran out, I tried another brand (by Plum) and she hated them! By the look on her face, you would have thought we were feeding her poison. After tasting the Plum puffs myself I knew why, they were overly sweet. Needless to say, the next day I bought more HappyBaby Puffs and baby was happy again!
Love Happy Baby Puffs!

Comments about Apple Puffs:
Never leave home without Happy Baby Apple puffs! This and the sweet potato flavor are the top flavors of the puffs. A great way to keep him entertained in the high chair while I start dinner or do some laundry! He goes crazy when I pull out the Apple Puffs!
Loved it!!
By Mama 2 under 4
Comments about Banana Puffs:
I gave these puffs to my 8 month old and she loved them. This brand had the lowest sugar on the shelve. They are tasty and I liked them!! I would highly recommend these to my friends with babies and even toddlers!
By NC Mama of 3

We have been eating these for years. My kids are 5, 7 and 9 -- they will choose to take these to afterschool activities. They are also yummy to include in homemade trail mix.

Nothing Artificial!
By Healthy Mama
from Salt Lake City, Utah
My kids love to eat while they watch their favorite shows and it is hard to find something that is healthy! These banana puffs are perfect for them because they are organic, GMO free, BPA free, pesticide free, low in salt and sugar and have nothing artificial. Finally a snack that isn't full of sugar and salt!
Great on the go!

Comments about Happy Baby Apple, Banana & Strawberry Puffs - 3 pk:
My son is 20 months and has loved these since he was 1 year. I wish I would have given them to him sooner. They are perfect when we're out and he needs a little snack/activity. We use them a lot when we're shopping or waiting for food at a restaurant. I love that he's not getting a lot of sugar from eating them!

6. | lipstick | ||
female version of batwings. When the labia sticks to the side of a womans leg. She has a sloppy vagina and must have lipstick all the time.
1. | Lipstick | ||
Red, engorged dog's penis The dog was humping Tim's leg and rubbing his lipstick all over it.
2. | lipstick | ||
It is used as slang for a hot lesbian. The plural form being "lipsticks". "Look at those two gorgeous lesbians dancing... they sure are lipsticks and not dykes."
3. | lipstick | ||
Liv Tyler is the butch and Drew Barrymore is the lipstick in the relationship.
4. | Lipstick | ||
a.) a cosmetic applied to the lips of a female; usually. Its use was developed in ancient times by prostitutes as form of advertisement, by painting their lips to match the same color as the inner folds of their vagina, so the male customer would get a glimpse of what he was getting. Lipstick was, then, various shades of red and pink. I doubt, if the colors were available, that any prostitute then would have painted their lips brown, black or green, which may have led the customer to believe that she may have a disease.
b.) Also refers to the male cock, whereas the cock being the stick that is placed between the lips; thus a lip-stick. Derived from the possible coating of the lips with sperm during oral sex as the male cock was brushed across the lips. This more than likely led to the development of the lip stick container; shaped much like the male cock, which the female brushes across her lips to apply it. c.) Sexual slang for oral sex, as in "sticking"(the cock being used as the stick)fucking the lips; also know as "face fucking", and "head banging". Her lipstick is moisture proof, but her cunt is dripping wet.
Just get on your knees baby and I will lipstick you with this hard cock. Accidentally, I walked in on Sam and Sue and he was lipsticking her as hard as he could and she was begging for more. |

the pink tip that exposes itself from a male dog's penile cover when said animal is sexually aroused. The dog's lipstick is always protruding.. he must really like you. Prepare to be humped!

Mostly played Klax on my Atari Lynx. Very solid conversion. Bit of California Games too.
I have been saying for years that I'm going to sell my small Lynx collection but I just can't.
Rampart on the Lynx is my favorite version of the game. I said, well maybe there are better versions of Rampart on other portable consoles. There aren't. Not even the arcade emulated on the PSP is as fun as the Lynx version to me, altough it is close.
Graphics are very impressive for the time, wide-screen display. Not even the Genesis had scaling effects like the Lynx did back in the era. But the audio is inferior to the original Gameboy. Naturally that amplied screenshots on an emulator lock blocky, but on the screen they look good.
My problem with the Lynx is that most games are not that good. Some are good, no doubt, but a lot of the library I have tried is just average or worse. Some impressive graphic demos but not that fun. Electrocop is very impressive, in terms of graphics nothing got close to it until the Gameboy Advance came out. The Afterburner clone is also impressive (was it called Blue Lightning?) but it's not fun. The Gauntlet game is one of the worst games I have ever played in my life.
I'm still missing Ninja Gaiden and Dracula. Ninja Gaiden is the only port to a console of the original arcade game, right? And Dracula is an adventure game that uses scaling and a limited sepia color pallete for effects.
I have a lynx with stun runner, blue lightning, shadow of the beast, and some pinball game. It's alright. I want more games to play on the thing but I want something with substance. Even though I normally can't stand the game, SotB is my most played game on the system just because it's a long game. I've considered Ninja Gaiden 3, but I have no idea what else to look for.
EDIT: Oh, I also have Zarlor Mercenary.

I just rebought an Atari Lynx model 2 recently with a few games (I had a model 1 years ago). The model 2 is so slick looking with the Atari brand on the front as well as the comfy handholds on the back left and right.
APB was a good port for it and one of my favorite arcade games but its missing a few things. There are no continues and whoever programmed it didn't put enough violaters (people breaking the law) roaming the streets, making it abit difficult. The lynx version is actually a superior port to the Midway Aracde treasures version which came out for gamecube since the timeclock on that runs way too fast.
Paperboy is pretty fun on it also. Stun Runner is arcade exact and incredible.
I just sold a Lynx a few weeks back. It's a ok handheld my only problem with it is you can barely see anything on the screen. It's worse then gamegear.

Looking to buy a used Kia Sedona car? Used Car Expert has thousands of used Kia cars for sale from used Kia car dealers and private sellers across the UK.

The Kia Sedona used to be the only large MPV that was affordable on a budget. It puts function over form, so has the odd quirk, but nothing that gets in the way of its job. It is spacious and comfortable, although some specifications can be a bit chintzy.
Reliability on older models can be expensive, so be picky about who you buy from - full service history is important and a warranty is a good idea.
There are many different variants of Kia Sedona on the market. The cheapest and best is the V6 petrol Auto. The cars are very well equipped and much nicer to drive than the agricultural diesels.
Go for a 5 or 6 year old V6 petrol Auto in GS spec. That should cover all bases.
Pay around £6500 for a 6 year old V6 petrol auto GS.
There will be a big drop nearly new and these cars will continue to suffer quite heavy depreciation. Buy and sell at any time.
Used Car Expert recommends that you try to buy after a big drop in depreciation and before the next one, so with the current Kia Sedona you would aim to buy a 5 year old and you can keep it for some time before needing to worry about a big drop in value.
Diesel Kia Sedona cars lose most over the first year (from new to 1 year old), so that is the best 'nearly new' buy in terms of car for money.
Petrol Kia Sedona cars lose least between years 1 and 3, so this is the best buy if you want to keep the car for a while.
Petrol Kia Sedona cars lose least between years 2 and 4, so that is the best buy on older cars.
For advice on what to pay, see below and for more detailed depreciation and mileage & spec adjusted prices & graphs visit our price guide.

OMG. I cannot stop laughing. If you like celebrity Photoshops, you have just struck gold, my friend. Artist, Danny Evans, created these frumpier, duller and more plain versions of our favorite celebrities (Kanye and Kim, for example). Sort of a "celebrity make under", as he calls it.
Either way, these are so so funny. Check out these awesome Photoshops of celebrities as 'real people'.

White Lake to host ice racing event
The thrills and chills of winter ice racing come once again to the surface of White Lake on Saturday and Sunday.
The White Lake Ice Races is an annual all-terrain vehicle and motorcycle racing event on the frozen surface of White Lake. The ATVs and bikes are modified with various parts such as studded tires to improve their performance on the ice.
Jeremiah Sherman, the event's creator and promoter, said he had to cut back promotion for the event, focusing more on word-of-mouth than anything since racers from across the nation will flock to the lake.
"It's to cut down people attending a little," he said. "Just so it's a little safer of an event, I want to concentrate on locals and people from Oakland
The event usually draws a crowd, with nearly 1,700 tickets sold in one day in a previous year's race. Part of that appeal is the equipment and cash payouts offered, estimated to reach up to $15,000 this year, Sherman said.
The race is dependent on the weather, but not much is going to stop those who make it out.
"The only thing that will stop this event is freezing rain or an unsafe level of ice on the lake" Sherman said. "If it's snowy or sleety, or windy, we're going to race. They're ice racers. It's the postal service of racing."
This year's ice race is not an American Motorcyclist Association District 14 event, unlike previous races, so an AMA membership is not required to register.
FYI Continued...
White Lake Ice Races will be Saturday, Feb. 23 and Sunday, Feb. 24 at the White Lake Inn, 3955 Ormond Road in White Lake Township. Saturday registration opens at 11 a.m., practice starts at 2 p.m. and races begin at 3 p.m. with 6 p.m. finals. Sunday registration opens at 8 a.m., practice starts at 9 a.m. and races begin at 11 a.m. Guest passes are $15 for both days and $10 for one day. Adult race entries are $25 while youth entries are $20. Pro Cash entry fee is $40.

The Drowsy Chaperone (Don Ward)
Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
Thursday, President Barack Obama signed into law H.R. 4073, a bill introduced in the House by Congressman Doug Lamborn to help clarify the legal status of the popular Manitou Incline hiking trail.
Senator Michael Bennet, who had introduced a companion bill in the Senate, S.2341, helped push the House-passed bill through the upper chamber. The newly-signed law allows the city of Colorado Springs (through a joint agreement with the city of Manitou Springs) to maintain the trail and do long-needed improvements.
The bill addresses a right-of-way issue with the Manitou and Pikes Peak Railway Company and allows the U.S. Forest Service to accept the railway's relinquishment of their right-of-way.
"The 'vertical mile' is a source of great local pride for residents of Manitou and Colorado Springs. The president's signature on this bill makes it official – we're one step closer to allowing hikers to take advantage of this unique trail in a safe manner while not being considered trespassers," Bennet said. "I look forward to continuing to work with Representative Lamborn and local leaders to ensure the trail is properly managed in the future."
Lamborn also weighed in.
"The Manitou Incline trail has been a favorite of southern Coloradans for decades. Olympic athletes have even trained there. I am happy to say that outdoor enthusiasts can soon hike the incline with complete confidence that they are no longer trespassing! The Incline will soon be a public trail that will be appropriately maintained for beauty and safety.
"Much like the trail itself, passing this bill has been a steep climb at times, and I am very grateful to Senator Bennet for his work in the Senate to preserve and protect this spectacular trail. Additionally, I thank Kyle Hybl and Spencer Wren of the Manitou and Pikes Peak Railway Company for their leadership on this issue."

Replacing John L., Fans Speculate
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: November 24, 2012
John L. Smith is officially out as as Head Coach for the Hogs -- some say it's been a long time coming, and it's really no surprise.
The speculation and anticipation is building as we wait for the announcement that names a new Head Coach for the Razorbacks.
But for now, with John L. Smith's exit, there seems to be a general consensus.
Fans said, "He's never been a winner anywhere," and, "I think I could have led them to about the same record for about half the money they paid him."
It's come as no surprise that John L.'s exit has fans looking forward.
When asked who should be hired, fans said, "We need somebody that's gonna play defense," and, "One that's dedicated. We didn't get that from this coach. He was just there."
But who? Who's going to bring the Hogs back to where so many saw them when, they say, Bobby Petrino held the title.
"To me, I thought PEtrino should have just been suspended instead of fired," one fan said.
Another said, "There's no telling where we'd be now if he was still coaching."
With that out of the question, Hogs around Little Rock have their own ideas on who should take over.
"The TCU coach. That's who we NEED to get."
Another says, "I've heard Gary Patterson or John Gruden. Hopefully either one of them. I'll be happy with that."
And yet another thinks TCU's coach as well, saying, "They could pay him more."
But regardless of who takes the reigns this holiday season, the general consensus seems to be, it's only up from here.
As one fan put it, "Can't do any worse."
It doesn't seem like we'll have to wait for too much longer. Some reports say the next Head Hog will be picked out within 10 days.

Throughout his life, Dürer was in thrall to the idea that the perfect human form corresponded to a system of proportion and measurements and could be generated by using such a system. Near the end of his life, he wrote several books codifying his theories, including the Underweysung der Messung (Manual of measurement), published in 1525, and Vier Bücher von menschlichen Proportion (Four books of human proportion), published in 1528 just after his death. Dürer's fascination with ideal form is manifest in Adam and Eve. The first man and woman are shown in nearly symmetrical idealized poses: each with the weight on one leg, the other leg bent, and each with one arm angled slightly upward from the elbow and somewhat away from the body. The figure of Adam is reminiscent of the Hellenistic Apollo Belvedere, excavated in Italy late in the fifteenth century. The first engravings of the sculpture were not made until well after 1504, but Dürer must have seen a drawing of it. Dürer was a complete master of engraving by 1504: human and snake skin, animal fur, and tree bark and leaves are rendered distinctively. The branch Adam holds is of the mountain ash, the Tree of Life, while the fig, of which Eve has broken off a branch, is from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge. Four of the animals represent the medieval idea of the four temperaments: the cat is choleric, the rabbit sanguine, the ox phlegmatic, and the elk melancholic.

Topic Teasers Vol. 9: Story Points or Hours?
byQuestion: My team prefers to work in Story Points, but it sometimes becomes hard to deal with the realities of how to estimate a first iteration and how to deal with the availability of the team members. How do experienced agile teams handle these realities?
A. | If you want to be agile, you must estimate in Story Points. Nothing else will really work for a team once they begin to do the work of the project. |
B. | Neither is the correct approach. Estimate your Product Backlog in Ideal Hours, and then they will transfer over easily to the iteration work of the team. |
C. | If you create software, use Story Points. If you use agile for any other type of project, estimate in work hours, which you can input into MS Project. |
D. | Use Story Points for the Product Backlog, but actual hours for the Iteration Backlog. |

Before the 1950s and the dawn of television, people would gather in their homes with family and friends around the radio, just as we do with our TVs today, to listen to sports, music, news, and entertainment programs. Then as now, the radio acted as a gateway to the world. But what exactly is a radio and how does it work?
A radio is an electrical device that receives an invisible signal, or radio wave, from a radio station and converts the signal into sound that we hear and understand. A radio wave is a type of electromagnetic radiation that can be used to convey audio information. Radio waves have energy associated with them. Radio stations, using a transmitter and an antenna, transmit waves like the ones in Figure 1 below, which shows both a 1-cycle wave and a 3-cycle wave, each occurring in the span of 1 second. The number of cycles per second is called frequency. The unit for frequency is the hertz (Hz). A 1-cycle-wave per second is a 1 Hz wave and a 3-cycle-wave per second is a 3 Hz wave. Every AM radio station transmits its signal at a given frequency, and the frequency band for AM radio stations in the United States is from 530,000 Hz to 1,710,000 Hz. So a radio station transmitting at 1,590,000 Hz (expressed in kilohertz as 1,590 kHz) is sending out a signal that is 1,590,000 cycles per second.
Figure 1. The top part of this figure shows a 1-cycle wave, the second a 3-cycle wave. |
Radio stations send out waves and the radios in our homes receive that wave. But how do our radios turn these waves into sounds and how do stations transmit different sounds? Waves have both a frequency and an amplitude, which is the height of the wave. If someone yells at you from across a room, the amplitude of the sound wave is high. Conversely, if someone whispers to you from across the room, the amplitude of that sound wave is very low. When radio stations transmit sound (or music) waves, they can vary or modulate the amplitude of the wave and that is one way we hear the different levels and frequencies of sound. Stations that transmit signals via amplitude modulation are called AM radio stations.
Figure 2. A diagram of the various parts of an early crystal radio. In the early days of radio, the detector was literally a "crystal." Modern radios use a diode instead of a crystal. (Hugo Gernsback, 1922). |
A crystal radio is a very simple radio that was popular in the early history of radios. It can pick up and play sound from AM radio stations. Rather than rely on outside electrical sources, like a batteries or plugs, crystal radios get their power directly from the radio waves. The diagram in Figure 2 shows the parts of a crystal radio: antenna, coiled wire tuner, diode, earphone, and a connection to an electrical ground.
- The antenna picks up AM radio waves which create an alternating current (AC) in the antenna wire. An alternating current is one with a voltage that oscillates between positive and negative. See Figure 3A below.
- A diode is an electrical component that allows current to flow in only one direction (positive OR negative). Consequently, when a diode is in a circuit with an alternating current (positive AND negative), it blocks either the positive or the negative half of the wave. The other half of the wave passes through unchanged. This process is called rectification, and it results in alternating current being changed to direct current or DC. In Figure 3B the rectified wave only has the positive portion of the original AC wave. When crystal radios were first made the diode was composed of a thin wire that scratched against the surface of a crystal of semiconductive material thus imparting the name "crystal" radio.
- The earphones convert the DC to sound. The electrical current is converted into vibration, and that vibration generates sound waves. The sound waves are not very strong though, which is why earphones that fit close to the ear drum, as opposed to a speaker, are required to hear the sound.
- The tuner allows you to select the AM frequency for the crystal radio to zone in on. The tuner has many coils of wire. Each AM frequency has resonance with a different length of coil. By changing how much coil is used you can alter the radio's preferred resonance and thus "tune" in to a specific radio station. Taps, outcroppings of wire at regular coil intervals, are used as places to connect the antenna and/or diode at different wire lengths during the tuning process.
- The electrical ground allows current to flow through the circuit (the crystal radio is in fact an electrical circuit). All circuits need a ground to work properly.
Figure 3. AM radio stations transmit signals via amplitude modulated waves. The antenna of the crystal radio converts these waves to alternating current (shown in A). In order for the current to be converted in to sound, the current is rectified by the diode so that only the positive half of the waves get through. This rectified current (shown in B) is known as direct current. The current amplitude remains modulated (adapted from Harry J. Marx and Adrian Van Muffling, 1922). |
In this project you will build a crystal radio from materials you find around the house and a few items from an electronics store. Try to pick up as many radio stations as you can by connecting to the various taps. You will need help from an adult to string up the antenna.

Important Safety Notes: Have an adult help you with this science fair project. Do not listen to a crystal radio during a thunderstorm. Make sure that you follow the instructions and ground your antenna properly.
- Take the oatmeal container (empty, of course) and on the open end, come down about a 1/2 in. and carefully poke two holes. Thread the wire through one hole and back out through the other, as shown in Figure 4, below. Pull about 1 ft. of wire out, for making the connection to the rest of the circuit. Tape the wire on the inside of the oatmeal box, to
keep it from slipping out.
- Wrap five turns of wire around the oatmeal box and make a "tap," see Figure 4. Remove
a short span of insulation (about half an inch), and twist the wires together.
- Tip: If you find removing the insulation too difficult you can use the wire strippers to cut through the insulation to expose the copper wire underneath. Then push the sliced insulation to either side. This will result in a tap with insulation bunched on either end of exposed copper wire.
- Continue wrapping, and every five turns, make a tap, until you get to 40 turns.
- At 40 turns, poke two holes next to the last turn of wire. Cut the wire off so that you
have 1–2 ft. extra to connect to the rest of the circuit. Poke the wire into the first
hole and back out the second hole. Tape the wire in place inside the box. You now have your
coil wound, as in Figures 4 and 5.
Figure 5. Photo showing a crystal radio coil with taps every 5 turns. (Photo courtesy of Rick Marz, 2012) - Next you will need an antenna and a ground. The antenna can be any wire (insulated or bare), as high and as long as possible. Make sure not to place it near electrical wires for your safety and the performance of the radio. Also don't let the antenna "ground out" to trees or the earth (ground). You can make insulators
from plastic water pipe or couplings. See Figure 6, below.
- The ground can be made by connecting to a metal water pipe (plastic pipes won't work), or to a metal rod that is pounded at least 2 ft. into the ground.
- Figures 7 and 8, below show the remaining connections that you need to make.
- Hook it all up as shown in Figures 7 and 8. Connect the antenna lead alligator clip to the top of the tuner coils and the diode alligator clip to one of the center taps. Do you hear anything? Try moving the diode alligator clip to different taps to tune the crystal radio. You can also try moving the antenna alligator to various taps. How many AM stations can you tune?

Building a radio is your first step. To make a good science fair experiment, you should investigate some of the following questions.
- A number of interesting experiments become possible if you add meters to measure the current and voltage in your radio. "To measure the current in our radio, we will need to have the current flowing through the meter. To do this, we connect the microammeter between the earphone and the ground connection, so that any electricity that is going to flow through the earphones to make noise is going to have to flow through the meter also. The meter can be connected in two ways, one is forward and one is backward. If the meter is connected backward, the needle will start reading below zero. If this happens, just reverse the connections, so the needle reads above zero. To measure the voltage, we connect the meter to both of the earphone wires." (Field, date unknown) Depending on the radio stations near you, you need a meter that will read as low as 5 microamps and around 100 millivolts. You can calculate the power (in watts) that your radio receives by multiplying the volts times the amps.
- Simon Field suggests these variations: "Try different lengths of antenna, and watch the current go up as the longer antennas catch more of the power from the radio station. Try more than one antenna. Try connecting the ground wire to different things that are connected to the ground, such as pipes, metal fences, etc. As you try each test, make sure you tune the radio again, because your changes may affect the tuning." (Field, date unknown) You should check out this source for more details and additional ideas.
- Lewis Whaley suggests another variation for this project, based on the "foxhole radios" which American soldiers in World War II built using razor blades and a safety pin (or graphite pencil point) in place of the germanium diode. How could this work? Build one and compare its performance to the circuit described above. For more information, see: http://bizarrelabs.com/foxhole.htm.

In addition, you can try stretching the long-wire antenna in a direction perpendicular to the direction where the AM broadcast station antenna is located in order to pick up the maximum signal strength. Keep in mind that you'll need a very good antenna! You can try clipping a wire lead to a long wire antenna run between two objects that do not conduct electric signals, like trees for instance, to see if you can pick up any signal. See the Project Idea Build Your Own Crystal Radio for more information on the antenna.
Finally, try tuning the crystal radio at night when the signals from distant stations are more likely to be strong enough.
Here is a link that may help:
- Add one of the smaller capacitors in parallel with the prior capacitor. If it gets better, try the next larger one. Select the best combination based on how loud the signal is.
- Use the biggest capacitor and move down the coil one tap at a time to tune for the loudest result.
Basically, what you are doing here is adjusting the resonant frequency of the coil and capacitor to match the station's frequency.
