Steady progress on 48k's electronics - the card cage backplane is mechanically complete, and partially wired - and I now have 3 of the cards complete.
The first is a PSU/standby/timer card, which has two MCUs - this will monitor the PSU voltages and create recharge requests to the main CPU, and oversee the recharging once the robot has 'docked' and the main CPU relinquished control and the robot powered down (standby mode).
The second complete card is the MCU for handling the compressed air supply - a deceptively complex task. The problem with an on-board compressor is the large surge of power required to start it when the reservoir is already pressurised - there are two air valves which need to be carefully controlled, as well as the main compressor motor. I thought this would be a simple card to program.. wrong!
Third up is the card (containing 4 MCUs) which will handle the steering and drive motor controls - lots of quadrature encoders to keep track of, but ultimately an exercise in position/speed control.
Did get some time to do some initial experiments with I2C communications - and although it's a little more software intensive with PICs than I'd anticipated, it'll do the job of providing a main communication channel between all the cards quite well.
..still plenty to do before I can really get down to properely programming it all though.
- My lathe is now up and running again, upgraded with a 3 phase motor + inverter instead of the unreliable standard DC motor (burnt out the second one before xmas). As any machinist knows, small Chinese metalworking tools are good value - but don't ever rely for heavy use - at least until you've 'debugged' them and made improvements.. my little 7x12 has had many hours spent on it (a project in itself), and is quite literally a different machine. I've a few changes to the mill in mind as well! I tested out the new motor making up some parts for my fathers model R/C boat that I offered to install the motor/R/C equipment etc. into - no shortage of power now. The soft start is useful as well - but sadly, games of 'dodge the chuck key' are no longer possible - it just falls out safely instead of hurtling at your head like an enraged 5 ounce metal wasp that's smelt your ice cream. I feel I can live without that though.
Back onto robotics now - A Boebot joined the throng of projects competing for spare time. This is my first experience of the Basic Stamp (version 2), and I must say I'm really impressed me with the speed and ease with which you can have it doing some clever stuff. I liked it so much I've now got a second one to experiment with. They're very difficult to beat in terms of ease of use - and it's nice to be able to play around and get real results quickly.. something that programming PICs in ASM definitely isn't.

Roland AIRA: The TR-8 Rhythm Machine
Roland AIRA: The TR8 Rhythm Machine
It's official. It's here. The new Roland AIRA series was launched this morning and we're incredibly excited to tell you all about the new Roland TR8.
As mentioned in our last article, we had a sneaky suspicion that a TR808 and TR909 would feature somewhere in the AIRA series but we weren't quite sure how. With the TR-8, Roland has exceeded our expectations and merged the two drum machines together to create one bigger, better, beast of a machine.
Stop for a moment and think about all the features that made the TR808 fantastic, the crispy snare sounds, the booms and snaps, the tinny hand-claps and its robotic sounding rim shot. They're all there. Now do the same for the TR909, the thunderous bass kicks, the classic snares and the addictive analog sounds. They're there too. The TR8 rhythm machine successfully captures the elements that made these Roland drum machines great, whilst upgrading with new characteristics we're sure you'll grow to love.
The arrival of the TR-808 and TR-909 both successfully ignited new life into the world of electronic dance and hip hop music and we're suspecting the arrival of the TR-8 could have the same impact. The TR8's selection of percussion, ambient sounds and drum beats make it an attractive option to anyone interested in beats, and whether drum and bass, edm, or ambient electronic music is your forte, your live set could definitely benefit from the TR-8.
Aphex Twin, Orbital, Beastie boys and Dr Dre were just a few of the artists perfecting with the TR-808 back in the 80's and early 90's. Take a listen to the following tracks in which you can hear the classic drum machine in action.
The TR-8 aims to bridge the gap between vintage simplicity and modern technology and a whole generation of artists could benefit from the re-introduction of this seminal drum machine. Modern beat makers such as Gold Panda, Blondes and Modeselektor are all musicians that could benefit from slotting the TR8 into their setup and its addition could power the beat-heavy back-line that makes these groups tick. The TR8 creates the perfect percussion backdrop for performers using beats as their main backbone and if your music is heavily reliant on the beat, then this is the instrument for you.
Whether you're looking for subtle ambient percussion sounds or pounding bass beats, the Bass and Snare modules on the TR8 are now equipped with Attack and Comp knobs allowing you to create them both. Tune and decay knobs are also a new addition for use on every instrument effect, whilst per-step effects and a new 'scatter' function place an incredible set of options at your fingertips.
We were lucky enough to have DJ and Producer John Heckle join us in our Liverpool office to demonstrate how the TR-8 works.
The Roland TR-8 is now on sale. For more information on the TR8 and all products in the AIRA range, click here

Intel Core i7 980X Review
Back in January, Intel let the first 32nm based processor out of the barn door with the introduction of the of the Core i5 6 series processors that featured an on chip integrated graphics processor. Sure it is a bundle of joy and overclocks like stink, but what if you need or want more performance than the current dual or quad core processors can deliver? Well you were pretty much out of luck unless overclocking took care of your performance needs and wants. Fast forward a couple of months and you have some hope on the horizon with the soon to be released Core i7 980X. This computing behemoth is part of the Extreme lineup and comes to the masses with a total of six cores and a clock speed of 3.33GHz mirroring the clock speed of the current top end processor from Intel the Core i7 975.
The Core i7 980X is built upon the 32nm manufacturing process and features six execution cores with hyperthreading supported giving you the power of 12 threads to work with as well as a total of 12MB of shared Smart Cache. Turbo boost technology is supported allowing a dynamic increase of the 980X depending on the processing load. Whats amazing is that Intel has kept the same socket 1366 footprint allowing the Core i7 980X to fit in and work with the existing base of X58 based motherboards with nothing but a BIOS update to get the board up and running with the 980X. With that, lets take a look at this processor to see if it can break new ground when it comes to performance in both real world applications as well as while gaming. Extreme? We shall see.
Closer Look:
The Core i7 980X is the latest offering to come from Intel. It is based on the 32nm Nehalem micro-architecture code named Westmere. The 32nm process is a process technology change or die shrink with the next architecture change coming with Sandy Bridge For this processor Intel has bumped up the amount of physical cores by two to a total of six and upped the shared L3 Smart cache by 50% to 12MB. Both significant jumps that should pay some handsome rewards when it comes to the performance delivered. The Westmere series is a die shrink of the Nehalem architecture from 45nm to 32nm and still uses the High-k second generation manufacturing process. Intel has included a few new instruction sets on this series. AES-NI is a set of 12 new instructions that help boost data encryption and decryption. Also included is the full SSE4 instruction set. This processor supports Turbo Boost technology that allows the processor to dynamically increase the clock speeds from the as delivered 3.33 GHZ up to 3.6 GHz when under a light load and is Overclocking enabled for some additional fun. Hyperthreading is supported and allows you to run a total of 12 threads at one time to significantly increase the amount of work you are able to do in a set time frame. The memory controller still supports triple channel DDR3 memory configurations with all of this coming in the LGA 1366 socket. Looking at the die shot you can get an idea of how the cores and memory are laid out. Its amazing that Intel has been able to squeeze another two cores into the same socket size.
While the Core i7 980X looks to be a great chip on paper, the problem is how to cool down those additional two cores when the solution included for use with the quad core Nehalem processors was marginal at best under load? Even at stock speeds! It looks like Intel has taken cooling the latest Nehalem micro architecture seriously with the inclusion of their DBX-B cooling solution with the 980X. It is a tower design heatsink that uses four large heatpipes and that take the thermal load up to the aluminum fins to be dissipated via airflow from the fan.
Looking closer at the top of the DBX-B you can see a switch assembly that allows you to choose two different fan performance levels. These are labeled Q for Quiet and P for performance. Intes states the Maximum acoustics are 35dBA under load running at 1800 RPM and under 20 dBA at idle running at 800 RPM. A breath of fresh air is that Intel has chosen to design this piece as a bolt on cooling solution verses using push pins and is rated to withstand a 3 foot drop while installed in a system without breaking. The screws used to bolt the DBX-B to the board and backplate can be tightened by hand as a thumb screw or you can use a screwdriver if you need to get into a tight spot. The base is mirror finished for optimum contact with the 980X IHS.
Lets see just how much more performance the Core i7 980X delivers.

Dr. Jack Ramsay, an ESPN Radio NBA analyst and Hall of Fame coach, told the Miami Herald on Thursday he will miss the remainder of the playoffs to receive undisclosed medical treatments.
"I'm going back to Naples (Fla.) and will start the treatment on Monday there," Ramsay said by phone Thursday. "I have a specific time period where I must have this and cannot do it if I'm traveling around. I'll miss doing the broadcasts."
NBA: Full second-round schedule
Ramsay, 88, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1999 and received treatment for melanomas. He told Fox Sports Florida last Wednesday that he expected to retire at the end of the season.
"Our thoughts are with Dr. Jack, who is an important member of the ESPN family," ESPN said in a statement Thursday. "We wish him the very best."
Ramsay compiled an 864-783 record in 20 seasons as an NBA coach and won the 1976-77 championship in his first season with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Anyone figured this out? I just brought in a player via transfer and his transfer fee dropped upon acquisition. That doesn't make sense to me at all. from Weirder Bremen
on Wed 9/9 16:09 ET
Reply to This Message
That happened to me earlier this year when I
traded for Miazga. Mark said that fee is
recalculated only when a trade is made. Sometimes
several managers put a player on the bench in
between trades so in spite of the trade which
would tend to make the fee go up, in fact the fee
goes down because of previous moves by other
managers to the bench. So you're SOL like I was.

Hi everyone,
So it's been 2 weeks since our 4 month appt where I was freaked out by the pediatrician (telling me baby needed more milk b/c he dropped down on the percentile chart for weight. I have since tried to watch the clock more and feed him every couple hours (give or take, more often if he wants it, and not waking him from a nap if he seems peaceful). He's been nursing 8-10 times a day, sometimes for less than 10 minutes, and sometimes for 20-25 (the tail end of those is not active sucking, just comfort). He has a wet diaper (somewhat wet or very wet) about 7-8 times a day and 1 BM per day, give or take.
I learned about switch nursing from this forum (thank you!) and have been doing that when he is being sleepy or fussy at the breast. It seems to help get him on track unless he really doesn't seem hungry, in which case we stop and move on.
At 4 1/2 months, how many minutes of active nursing per breast is needed? I don't have oversupply - if anything I've always been concerned I don't have enough. I had this concern before the doctor said anything....I'm just paranoid, I have a baby who doesn't seem to have "baby fat".
What's more effective at helping baby consume more milk (and increasing my production)? Is it better to do more frequent nursing, like every hour even if he's not initiating it, for shorter periods each time, or longer sessions where I try and stimulate him to keep eating by switch nursing or changing positions?

The apostle James addresses and denotes the very gravity of being a master — translated in today's terms, a teacher.
The apostle James addresses and denotes the very gravity of being a master — translated in today's terms, a teacher.
In the New Testament's Book of James, Chapter 3, the writer gives great insight, clarity and wisdom on the correct usage of the most powerful instrument or tool the teacher possesses: the tongue.
The Bible student, or the Christian layperson, should read and examine the scriptures of James 3:1-18 very carefully. I will extract several verses from this chapter to show how influential the master, or teacher, has upon the student, or his hearers.
The scripture says, "My brethern, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle his whole body. Behold, we put bits in the horses mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth."
The scriptures or indicative of the control or dominion the teacher can have upon its hearers. James is saying that the master's primary tool for implementing his biblical principles, or message concerning what's right or wrong, will come forth from the use of his mouth and tongue.
He gives some strong and positive examples how such small things can control such large objects.
The essence of what the author is trying to convey is to those who are aspiring to become masters, or teachers of the faith of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. One must study to show himself approved unto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
In conclusion, the wise man, King Solomon, says in Proverbs 18:21, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue. And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
What a profound statement to make. That little tongue in your mouth, he says, that every time the teacher engages in instructional time, or we talk or give counsel people on a daily basis, we are either speaking life or death into people's lives. Always remember, what you say will produce fruit.
Jesus says it best in Mark 11:23, "He shall have whatsoever he saith."

One of the pre-requisites of any military operation is air cover. And when you are looking at an amphibious assault against a prepared enemy, thousands of miles from any friendly base, in the enemys back yard, that means aircraft carriers and as many of them as you can lay your hands on.
The picture in 1982
In 1982 the Royal Navy could call upon two Aircraft Carriers. HMS Hermes was a post-world war two Centaur class light fleet carrier. After serving in numerous guises in her career, in 1982 she was equipped to operate Sea Harriers. She could carry 12, in addition to 18 Sea King Anti-Submarine and Airborne Early Warning Helicopters.
HMS Invincible was virtually brand-new, and the lead ship of the new Invincible class. Although officially ordered as an anti-submarine carrier, she could operate 8 Sea Harriers and 15 Sea Kings. She was also fitted with the cutting edge Sea Dart Surface to Air Missile. HMS Illustrious, Invincibles sister ship, was also nearing completion.
Therefore, the British task force in 1982 could call on 20 Sea Harriers and 33 ASW and AEW Sea Kings, on two carriers. Wisdom at the time taught that this was the bare minimum needed, given the strength of the Argentine Air Force (something that we will look at later). Given that Combat Air Patrols usually consisted of 2 aircraft, the Sea Harriers would be very stretched indeed. There were also doubts about how the Sea Harrier would perform against the super-fast Mirages that the Argentines possessed. A few replacement Sea Harriers could be expected, and halfway through the war some RAF GR3 Harriers arrived.
That these aircraft were on two ships is also important. It meant that if one ship had to slip out of action temporarily, to clean a boiler, for example, then there was at least another ship to cover. More hulls give flexibility. But still, the loss of one carrier would probably have ended the war.
The picture in 2009
In 2009, the Royal Navy only possesses two active aircraft carriers, both of the Invincible Class: HMS Illustrious and HMS Ark Royal. HMS Invincible is technically in 'extended readiness': however, with her propellers removed and sitting on her deck, and denuded of parts to keep her sister ships running, it would take at least a year to her running again.
Of the two ships, one is usually at high readiness, and the other is usually either undergoing trials or in refit. Much would depend on the status of the reserve carrier: if it was in deep refit, it would take a lot of time to make ready. Even if it were ready, the crew might not be completely up to speed with operating aircraft.
The Sea Harrier was retired in 2006 as a cost cutting measure, and in its place the Fleet Air Arm shares Harrier GR9's with the RAF. These are far from ideal for providing air defence, and do not have the Sea Harrier's Ferranti radar, for example. RAF Harriers are designed for providing close air support to troops, their electronics and weapons fit is completely different to the Sea Harrier. They might struggle against the Mirages in terms of performance, although Argentina only has around 15 of them currently.
In addition, there are only enough Harriers – eight – available to the Naval Strike Wing to equip one Aircraft Carrier at a time. Even if somehow more were made available, this would entail a maximum of 16 Harriers. The Carriers do not embark their Aircraft as often as they did back in 1982, so operational effectiveness is bound to be affected.
The Royal Navy has a much weaker Aircraft Carrier capability than in 1982. It can operate markedly fewer aircraft, which are not specialist maritime jets and are not designed for providing air defence.
Everything would pivot on whether the second Aircraft Carrier were available. In a very best case scenario, two Aircraft Carriers might be available, and operate 16 Harrier GR9's. If only one Carrier were available, sailing to war with 8 aircraft would be unthinkable. And both of these Carriers are now over 25 years old. Interestingly, the elderly HMS Hermes is still serving in the Indian Navy, operating Sea Harriers. What a difference she would make to the Royal Navy….
Fortunately, the Argentine Air Force possesses far fewer Fighters than in 1982: 15 high-performance Mirages, although she does still have many Skyhawk multi-role attack jets.
Given that the performance of the Sea Harrier was one of the pivotal aspects of the Falklands War, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that even in a best case scenario, the air defence that any modern task force could offer might struggle in terms of effectiveness, even against a reduced Argentine Air Force.
We must await the Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers and the Joint Strike Fighter with interest.

Ireland is an island divided into two countries: Northern Ireland, a constituent part of the United Kingdom, and the Republic of Ireland, also known as Eire. Before 1922 it was one country comprised of thirty-two counties within four provinces: Connaught, Leinster, Munster, and Ulster.
The two countries in Ireland today are:
- Northern Ireland with six counties
- Republic of Ireland with twenty-six counties
For further historic information, see Counties of Ireland.

(AP) — The unemployment rate in Illinois increased slightly in June while manufacturers and local governments cut more jobs than they added.
The Illinois Department of Employment Security says Thursday that unemployment increased to 9.2 percent last month. That was up from 9.1 percent in May. June's figure ended two months of decreasing unemployment.
Employers around the state added a net 5,400 non-farm jobs for the month. And department Director Jay Rowell says the net 9,000 jobs added by private-sector employers is an encouraging sign that they're optimistic about the future.
Meanwhile, manufacturers cut a net 1,600 jobs for the month. Illinois' manufacturing had been one of the state's strongest employment sectors until recent months.
Construction firms added 5,400 jobs in June.


text: With more than 25,000 pieces, the Asian collection ranges in material from musical instruments and tools, to paintings, jewelry, and clothing. The objects on display in the Chinese Rotunda showcase our impressive collection of Chinese sculpture collected during the early part of the 20th century. The large-scale artifacts on view are a testament to the artistic achievements of the Chinese people, particularly in early Buddhist sculpture, and the continuity of artistic evolution during the early, pre-Song periods (before 1000 CE). In storage, the focus is largely on ethnographic collections with representative collections of the Ainu people of Japan and the Naga Hills people of India. Other highlights include a large thangka collection from Tibet, a series of textiles from the minority people of China, and numerous examples of blankets and wall hangings from India and Japan. There is also a significant collection of Buddhist material collected as part of a temple that was erected when the Museum opened in 1899. The nucleus of the South Asian sculptural collection was put together by Alexander Scott, who led a Museum expedition to India from 1915 to 1918. These objects represent one of the earliest collections of Indian art to come to America. They also became the focus of study for several pioneering scholars in the fields of South Asian art and culture, including Ananda Coomaraswamy and W. Norman Brown.

James R. Bingham, Landscape Painter
Many of the great mid-century illustrators had a real knack for painting landscapes, even if it was in service to an advertising campaign or incidental to the story they were illustrating.
One such artist whose work I've always truly admired was James R. Bingham. Here are a few examples of his prowess in painting landscapes. Set aside the subject or purpose of each of these images and just study these amazing landscape interpretations. In each case, you'll see how Bingham truly captured the setting in form, light and colour!

just stumbled upon your blog and I really love it! Bingham's style is so old-school. It brings me back to the picture books I had as a child. I didn't appreciate the labor artists put into them back them. Thanks for posting, hope you visit me back!ReplyDelete

ps. I am hosting a giveaway on my blog and I would love it if you won! :) Enter to win artwork by Mui-ko!
Bingham was an outstanding illustrator,no doubt.Good stuff!I wonder if he used gouache or oils.ReplyDelete
I am pretty sure he was very much aware of Bruegel's "The Hunters in the Snow" when he made that last painting.ReplyDelete
I love your blog and have found many artists through it. Please continue the good work!

Adobe MAX is here, and we've got a lot of news to share. Today we're releasing Flash Player 11 and AIR 3 — you can download the release starting at 9:00 PM Pacific today. As we announced previously, there are lots of new features in Flash Player 11 and AIR 3, and one of the newest features that's getting a lot of buzz is hardware accelerated 2D and 3D graphics rendering through Stage 3D, which will be available on Mac OS, Windows and connected televisions. It redefines what's possible across the web. With up to 1,000 times faster rendering performance over Flash Player 10 and AIR 2, developers can animate millions of objects with smooth 60 frames per second rendering and deliver cinematic, console-quality games both in browsers and in apps. And a production release with support for Stage 3D for mobile platforms including Android, Apple iOS and BlackBerry Tablet OS is expected in an upcoming release. For more information about Stage 3D and to see some sample apps, check out the Stage 3D games on the Adobe Developer Center.
Additionally, we're excited that "Proscenium," a 3D framework technology preview, is available on Adobe Labs. Proscenium will allow developers using Flash Builder to rapidly prototype experiences focused on simple content interaction and display, whether for simple games, visualization, or high-quality rendering of small object collections. Check it out and let us know what you think.
We previously announced the availability of the Starling 2D framework for stunning hardware accelerated, fluid 2D graphics, and you can check out a new game developed using the Starling framework, Whack! from BxyB. There's also new information for available for developing using 3D frameworks like Alternativa3D, Away3D, Flare3D, Mixamo, and Minko.
And lastly, we want to extend a welcome to our newest developers and colleagues from Nitobi, makers of PhoneGap, which will soon become part of the Adobe family. With all of our announcements today, we believe developers will benefit from a workflow that allows them to choose the right tool for the right job, and we'll continue to keep driving innovation in Flash so you can push the edge of the envelope for immersive experiences online.
We've already seen some early previews of games and apps that will be available in market soon, and there are now over 10,000 AIR apps in mobile markets.
We can't wait to see what you'll create. And there's more news to come tomorrow, so stay tuned. You can watch the second day MAX keynote streamed live at 10am PDT, and be sure to check out the Flash Platform Blog for the latest updates.

The deal is not yet finalised, though. "There's been some overtures," Orloff said, "But everything is in its preliminary stage." The deal would reduce his conviction from first degree to second degree murder. In addition, an anonymous source close with the situation said that "the only real leverage he has is if he can provide a body. He really doesn't have any options left. Even if he won a retrial somehow, he'd likely be convicted."
The sad thing is that more people have worked on ReiserFS than just Hans; the ReiserFS file system is now being discredited solely by the actions of Hans, even though this, of course, in a professional way has no influence on the code or the possible technical excellence of the file system itself. I find that to be a very sad state of affairs, since art (which code pretty much is) should never be discredited on the basis of its maker.
As my teacher in Dutch Literature always used to say: "Most Dutch writers are assholes, but that doesn't discredit their contributions to the world of literature in any way."

JG Windows acquires Dolphin's Gateshead store
Takeover identified as a great opportunity for both parties as Dolphin recognises that branch doesn't fit with future plans.
JG Windows has announced that it is to take over the 3,500 square foot store currently occupied by Dolphin Music in Gateshead's Metro Centre, in the next few months.
The takeover will add a second retail outlet to the company's portfolio – in 2008, it celebrated a century of trading in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne. JG Windows is the North East's largest music store, selling musical instruments, printed music, CDs/DVDs and HiFi across three floors.
"When we purchased the city centre store from the Windows family in 2006, and with my background at Roland, not least in running the digital piano concessions within department stores, we knew that at some point we must take our business well and truly to the consumer market. The Metro Centre has always been in our sights as it is only 15 minutes from our city centre store and has 23 million visitors a year, of which many do not shop in Newcastle City Centre," explained Rupert Bradbury, the store's managing director.
"We approached Rob and Jason from Dolphin in October last year and realised that there was a clear benefit to both of our businesses by taking this plan forward. For Dolphin, largely down to it's geographical location, the Gateshead store does not exactly fit with their future plans. For Windows, it fits perfectly into our future plans. Clearly there are many benefits of having two similar, but different stores so close to each other."
Jason Tavaria, Managing Director of Dolphin Music commented: "On acquiring the Gateshead store in April 2007 from the administrators, following the receivership of the Williams Music group of stores, Dolphin Music have built a profitable business in a fantastic location. We feel that this success is largely a result of the hard work and support we have received from the store staff and also our other key stakeholders. Although we had no plans to sell the store at this time, JG Windows approached us with a firm offer and a strong desire to acquire the store. After due consideration, the board identified this as a great opportunity for both parties. Due to the location and specific retail model, it is true to say that the Gateshead store is not the best fit within our future retail strategy. In addition, the board feels that this opportunity will allow us to focus greater resources on our other retail stores and expanding e-commerce operation. Therefore, I am pleased to confirm that we have today agreed the sale of our Gateshead store to JG Windows and we wish them every success for the future."
"The Windows name is very strong in the North East, with most people from all generations having bought something from the store at some point in their life, and so this is a natural progression for us," added Bradbury. "The current economic situation makes this even more exciting and in my opinion an even greater opportunity for customers, for suppliers and for our staff.
There are obvious economies of scale to be made, not least with the television advertising we run throughout the year on ITV now being able to direct customers to two locations. It is key for both parties that the transition from Dolphin to Windows runs smoothly, both Dolphin and Windows staff will be working very closely at all levels as well as with existing and new suppliers to ensure that this happens."

Possible side effects of watching "Side Effects" include increased brain activity, confusion, occasional irritability and warm, fuzzy feelings about Jude Law.
"Side Effects" is not intended for use by children or people suffering from short attention spans.
If you experience an erection lasting longer than four hours, keep it to yourself, weirdo.
Interestingly, for a movie based on the hidden dangers of pharmaceuticals, it turns out the less you know about "Side Effects" — director Steven Soderbergh's big-screen swan song — the better.
Emily Taylor (a haunted-looking Rooney Mara) had every luxury money could buy — until her husband, Martin (Channing Tatum), went to prison for insider trading and her perfect world was pulled out from under her.
After four years of hardship, his release should have put a little color in her cheeks. Instead, she slips back into the sort of overwhelming hopelessness that first accompanied his arrest.
Following a botched attempt to harm herself, Emily comes under the care of Jonathan Banks (Law), a sympathetic psychiatrist who begins treating her with antidepressants that make her nauseous and kill her sex drive.
But when a friend recommends the new drug Ablixa, which she convinces Banks to prescribe, Emily's entire life is transformed, down to her spectacularly resurgent sex drive. "Whoever makes this drug," Martin marvels after a particularly vigorous bout of bed rattling, "is going to be (expletive) rich."
Given the benefits, Emily is reluctant to stop taking Ablixa, even when she starts sleepwalking. And sleepcooking. And sleepcommitting felonies.
But all, as they say, is not what it seems.
What looks on the surface to be a "Contagion"-style, nouveau-horror tale — it is, after all, from that film's creative team of Soderbergh and writer Scott Z. Burns — or a scathing indictment of today's there's-a-pill-for-everything culture turns out to be a more intimate, noirish treat.
It's the type of sophisticated, adult thriller Hollywood doesn't traffic in much these days. The sort of thing that, 20 years ago, would have been much glossier and toplined by Demi Moore and Michael Douglas.
Instead, Douglas' wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, turns up, channeling Anne Archer as Emily's Ablixa-pushing former psychiatrist.
With the tragic turn in Emily's treatment, Banks' life begins unraveling as he becomes consumed with making sense of what happened. It serves as a reminder of just how talented Law is — and how unfortunate it was that, once Oscar host Chris Rock skewered him for being in too many movies, his career took the opposite route.
At the very least, "Side Effects" proves that if this film thing doesn't work out, Law has a solid future as a crime-solving psychiatrist on a CBS procedural. Cast Loretta Devine as a sassy secretary, call it "Head Cases," and you're already halfway to syndication.
Soderbergh could even direct it, as he swears "Side Effects" is his last theatrical movie. (His Liberace biopic, "Behind the Candelabra," is headed for HBO later this year.)
If the eclectic filmmaker keeps his word, it will leave a sizable void in theaters. What other director would — or could — turn out movies as diverse as the "Ocean's" trilogy, "Traffic" and "sex, lies, and videotape " while putting his faith in unproven talents ranging from Tatum to mixed martial arts fighter (and former Las Vegan) Gina Carano to porn star Sasha Grey?
Even when "Side Effects" isn't twisting and turning in on itself, his direction keeps viewers on their toes — especially during some of the more exposition-heavy moments.
Soderbergh's involvement may even make the whole thing seem smarter than it really is. When all the mysteries are finally revealed, for instance, not everything matches up with what we've been shown.
"Side Effects" won't be remembered as his finest work. Maybe not even in his top five. But if nothing else, the movie's high-wire antics make for a respectable end to an adventurous career.
At least until he rediscovers his passion for films.
Hopefully there's a pill for that.

Former Green Bay Packers Cheerlead Posts 'Silent' Protest Over Chicago Bears Cyber-Bullying
One former Green Bay Packers cheerleader wasn't going to make a lot noise about a recent post on the Chicago Bears Facebook page, but that didn't stop her from making a statement louder than any sideline cheer.
Apparently, the administrators of the Chicago Bears Facebook page posted "Like If You Agree The Packers Have The Worst Cheerleaders In The NFL," which was accompanied by a picture of Kaitlyn Collins, a former Packers cheerleader.
Considering the rivalrly between the Bears and Packers, the comments that accompanied the post were... ugly... to say the least.
Now, some may argue that this may not fit the true definition of cyber-bullying, since the post was not directed a particular person, but by including Collins photo it definitely comes close.
In response to the post, Collins decided to take a 'silent' stand against what she determined to be cyber-bullying. Her video is a great example of how people can make the most noise by saying nothing at all.
As Jay Busbee for Yahoo! Sports Shutdown Corner pointed out, the fans began to realize their boorish behavior and things changed.
Facebook apparently didn't agree that the post met its definition of cyberbullying, and so did not take the post down. But as the comments on the post softened and even chastised the very idea of such a cheap shot, the Fan Page decided to take down the post on its own. "We did not see all the posts to take down the Cheerleader pic until today," the administrators of the page wrote on Thursday afternoon. "We get hundreds of messages per day and are not always on here. The issue has been resolved. Please respect one another and do not bully on this page."
What do you think of Collins video?

Top Cars
8 Cheapest Hybrids
If you're looking for a fuel-efficient car that will save you money at the pump, chances are good that you're interested in a hybrid -- but you're probably learning that many hybrids can be pricey, owing to their complex technology and high demand. Fortunately, you've come to the right place to find a hybrid that won't break the bank, as our latest list looks at the least expensive hybrid cars on the market.
1. Honda Insight -- $19,515
The Honda Insight is America's most affordable hybrid. It's also very fuel efficient, thanks to a 1.3-liter 4-cylinder engine that's mated to an electric motor and a continuously variable automatic transmission. The Insight is outfitted with a drivetrain that manages to achieve 41 miles per gallon in the city and 44 mpg on the highway. Better yet, the Insight is more practical than most of the cars on our list thanks to a 5-door hatchback body style, a large cargo area and fairly comfortable seating for five. Our only issues are that the Insight's driving experience isn't up to par with most rivals and that its gas mileage, while excellent, can't come close to fuel economy figures of competitors that cost only a little more money.
2. Toyota Prius c -- $19,890
The Toyota Prius c is the smallest and least expensive member of the Toyota Prius family, which now boasts three fuel-efficient hybrid models: the c, the standard Prius and a larger model called the Prius v. Of those, the Prius c boasts the best city fuel economy, touting up to 53 mpg thanks to a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder mated to an electric motor. It's not so bad on the highway, either, with an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rating of 46 mpg. The Prius c's biggest flaws are its small size and ride quality, two issues we expect most drivers will be able to overlook given its excellent pricing and gas mileage.

3. Honda CR-Z -- $20,785
The Honda CR-Z brings a sporty flair into the world of hybrid cars thanks to dramatic styling, a cockpit-like interior and an unusual manual transmission. It's also one of the most affordable hybrid cars on the market, with a base price of less than $21,000 with shipping. But don't go rushing out to buy a CR-Z just yet: Due to its emphasis on sport over efficiency, the 2-door hatchback isn't the most practical or economical of hybrid cars. In fact, it offers just two seats, and its 130-hp engine means gas mileage is pegged at just 31 mpg city/38 mpg hwy. Still, we recommend the CR-Z to those who want a little performance to go along with their hybrid.
4. Toyota Prius -- $25,010
The Toyota Prius is a mainstay in the world of hybrid cars, thanks to several highly alluring qualities. For one, its gas mileage rating of 51 mpg city/48 mpg hwy leaves it almost unparalleled among rivals, except other Toyota models such as the smaller Prius c. It's also highly practical, thanks to a surprisingly big interior and a large cargo area. But most importantly, the Prius offers appealing pricing: With a starting price of just over $25,000, the hatchback remains one of the best choices around for shoppers interested in a hybrid that won't cost a fortune to buy.
5. Honda Civic Hybrid -- $25,425
The Honda Civic Hybrid is exactly what it says: a hybrid version of the popular Honda Civic. But it's even more than that, thanks to a long list of standard features that includes a power sunroof, alloy wheels and an Around View blind spot camera, which we happen to love. Gas mileage also comes in at a respectable 44 mpg city/47 mpg hwy, which beats out many rivals. And pricing is a forte: At $25,425, the Civic Hybrid remains one of the least expensive new hybrids on the market. Our only issue: As good as the Civic is, it still can't touch the Prius for fuel economy or interior space.

6. Ford C-MAX Hybrid -- $25,995
The Ford C-MAX is a 5-door hatchback available in hybrid or plug-in hybrid guise. Boasting a 188-horsepower 4-cylinder engine, the C-MAX touts room for the whole family, reasonable pricing and excellent fuel economy. According to the EPA, the C-MAX Hybrid's mpg figures come in at a whopping 45 mpg city/40 mpg hwy, better than many rivals, especially given the C-MAX's family-sized interior volume. We're also fond of the C-MAX's generous standard equipment list, which includes items like dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth and a USB interface for music.
7. Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid -- $26,015
The popular Volkswagen Jetta now offers a hybrid version, and with it comes many impressive traits that fuel-economy-minded shoppers will appreciate. One is gas mileage: According to the EPA, the Jetta Hybrid returns 42 mpg city/48 mpg hwy, which is far better than the diesel-powered Jetta's 30 mpg city/42 mpg hwy. The Jetta Hybrid is also reasonably priced, starting at just over $26,000. Icing on the cake is a long list of standard equipment that includes keyless ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth and alloy wheels.

8. Hyundai Sonata Hybrid -- $26,810
The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid offers many of the traits that you'll want in a hybrid car: good fuel economy, lots of equipment and reasonable pricing, to name just a few. Its most important quality, however, is that it's the least expensive hybrid midsize sedan, beating out rivals such as the Ford Fusion Hybrid, Toyota Camry Hybrid and Honda Accord Hybrid. Unfortunately, gas mileage isn't quite on the level of some of those models, but it still returns a respectable 36 mpg city/40 mpg hwy, which is better than many nonhybrid compact or midsize cars can say.

Imagine using a Biscoff cookie as you would use peanut butter. You could smear it on bread, dip veggies into it, eat it by the spoonful, or, in my case, use it as a frosting. Imagine no more, my friends; such a thing exists. It's called Tamarin spread and it's the cinnamon cookie lover's Nutella. I think my dad summed up this product best when he said, "You'd better take this away from me, I could eat way too much of this stuff."
I know that Tamarin spread is no health food (you're spreading a cookie on bread) but I love that it has a simple ingredient list: flour, sugar, rapeseed oil, baking powder, soy lecithin (for smoothness), salt, and spices. When I talked to my contact at Tamarin, who sent me the free spread, he told me that they actually make the speculoos (the generic name for Biscoff) cookies in the traditional way, then smash them to a powder to make the spread. Neat!
Tamarin spread has been available overseas since 2008, but the company is currently trying to break into the U.S. market. While you can buy Tamarin spread online, it may not available at your local shop (check here to see if they sell it near you).
The folks at Tamarin were nice enough to give me one dozen jars of the spread to give away. Here's how you can win:
- I'll randomly choose six winners from people who leave a comment on this post. Tell me why you want to try the Tamarin spread and be sure to include your email so that I can contact you.
- I'll choose the other six winners randomly from people who join my newly created Facebook fan page and comment on the status update where I talk about this contest. I'm really excited about my new Facebook page and I hope that it becomes a fun interactive extension of this blog.
Details: The contest is open to U.S. residents only and ends on Tue., July 27 at 11:59 PM CDT. No one can win more that once, but you can enter two times – once on the blog and once on Facebook.
Update: The blog winners are listed below. Check the Facebook page for the Facebook winners. Congratulations to all the winners!
- Vivian mac, who said, "Sounds yummy! I'd make a biscoff sandwich with Tamarin. :)"
- Rebecca, who said, "I love Nutella, especially on a crepe with bananas and whipped cream. I wonder if this would taste equally as good?"
- Jeff and Corrine, who said, "yum…I must try this!"
- Sourkraut, who said " Holy cow! I absolutely must win this! My family is German so even though I grew up in the states we were frequently treated to German delicacies, especially around the holidays. One of my favorites was always Spekulatius, which is, you guessed it, the German version of speculoos. Even if I don't win this contest I'll have to track down a jar of this fantastic-sounding stuff. It'll bring back a taste of my childhood!"
- Anonymous, who said, " I want to try it as I love cinnamon and sugar and have never been a fan of Nutella..but wanted my own spread w/o chocolate!"
- Anonymous, who said, "This is the first i have ever heard of this spread and it sounds amazing. Speculos cookies are a family tradition. my mom has learned these from her mom who brought the recipe over straight from belgium. If i win this, i would actually give it to my mom b/c of her love of these cookies and it would be great for her to have another happy memory of her mother."

The 15th New York Cavalry
Formed principally in upstate New York,
the 15th NYVC was a late addition to the Army of the Potomac forming companies
during 1863. As a part of George Armstrong Custer's division the units
fought throughout the Shenandoah Valley under the command of Phil
Sheridan. They were present at Five Forks, and Appomattox, and
participated in the last cavalry charge of the Civil War. Col. Root,
was killed at Appomattox Court House. Please take your time and
browse our pages. Of interest should be the 15th Regimental History
detailing their history in depth and the 15th's part in the Civil
War. In addition spend some time visiting our reenacting pages. A
short description follows. I hope you enjoy your stay and please return
again to visit.
The Historic 15th New York Volunteer Cavalry
In 1993, after 130 years, the 15th New York Volunteer Cavalry was
reactivated in order to preserve Civil War History. Today the unit participates
in numerous events, ranging from parades, living history demonstrations at
schools and parks, to major Civil War reenactments. The 15th cavalry practices
both mounted and dismounted drills monthly throughout the year. Currently we
have made a home at Hill-Hold Museum in Campbell Hall, New York.
Please review our web pages, and feel free to comment. We are always interested
in new recruits, and those simply interested in the Civil War, and the history
of the 15th. "The Red Neck Ties"

Hi Kyle, Just a suggestion... All downconverters will drift with temperature. The stock AIDC 3731 is spec'd to be within +/- 25 KHz over the temp range. I don't know what the 145 MHz units are spec'd at but I doubt that it is better. Other units I have seen are also around this figure and some are a little worse. This is not much of a problem on AO-51 becuase there is a nice strong carrier that is easy to find. On a linear passband like P3E, it can be extremely difficult to find your own downlink without QRMing the whole passband. A better solution and the one that I use, is to put a low noise preamp at the antenna and put your downconverter inside your house where the temp is pretty stable. I have mine in the garage which was fine for AO-40. Leaving the downconverter on all the time is also helpful. On AO-40, my setup was more stable than the LO on AO-40 and I could always hear my own downlink. I used InstantTune (of course!) and loaded the parameters into the config file so it was simple to just turn it on and work the sat. A fine tuning of around +/-1.5 KHz was all that was needed to compensate for AO-40 LO drift. I used an AIDC 3731 downconverter at 123 MHz which is pretty sensitive but not as good as with the Down East Microwave 13ULNA preamp which is really, really! good. A second advantage of using a preamp at the antenna is that the downconverter sensitivity is then not very important so you can use almost anything, even an old Drake unit. If you have a really long run of coax, it might be cheaper to add a second less expensive "booster" preamp and then use RG-6 coax from the preamp to the downconverter. I used LMR-600 because I wanted to be able to TX on it but that is overkill for just receiving P3E. 73, Tony AA2TX _______________________________________________ Sent via email@example.com.
