Seventy-four master craft artists will exhibit at the 29th Germantown Friends School Annual Juried Craft Show on March 1, 2 and 3. While professional crafters come from across the country to participate in the show, for two of this year's exhibitors getting there is as easy as dropping their kids off at school—because they are GFS parents.
"We can't recall another year when two GFS parents were accepted into the show," said Craft Show Manager Deirdre Godin.
Ceramicist Teresa Chang and furniture-maker Rachel Fuld are both thrilled to have been accepted through the highly-selective, blind judging process.
"I had heard about the GFS Craft Show before I had kids and before I moved to Philadelphia," said Chang. "It is a very strong regional show."
Fuld agreed: "Everybody in the craft show world knows about the GFS Craft Show, definitely if you live in Philadelphia…I'm excited to have gotten in."
The artists met each other long before they became fellow GFS parents. They have both participated in national-level craft shows for many years—including the Smithsonian and the Philadelphia Museum of Art shows.
"Our lives are quite intertwined," said Chang. "We met before marriages and kids…and now our kids are at the same school. We even carpool."
At the GFS Show they get to exhibit their work and support their children's school at the same time.
"I'm happy to do the show because it's my kid's school and I love GFS," said Chang, who will exhibit her exquisitely sculpted teapots and teacups for the fourth year.
Fuld is participating in the show for the first time this year.
"It's been a lot of baby-care in the last few years," she said with a laugh, "so this is my time to get back into the studio and work—and it feels great!"
Living in Philadelphia has influenced Fuld's work.
"I make furniture on the smaller side to fit into a city home, that addresses a functional need and makes a quiet impression by combining elegant forms with saturated, at times bold, color."
Her furniture, including benches, tables, stools, mirrors and coat hangers, all reflect her signature simple, natural style.
"My work is very organic," Fuld said. "It's soft and smooth."
For Chang, clay work started as a hobby—but quickly became more. In 1997, she started her company Teresa Chang Ceramics.
"I decided to try working with clay to see what it was like to live a creative life, and once I started it I never really looked back," Chang said.
Her career led her to the technically-challenging art of teapots.
"I am interested in the functionality of a teapot. How it pours. Whether or not it can brew tea and whether it drips. Each teapot is different in nature and is painstakingly overwrought with technical skill and time that goes into it."
She began mastering the fluid dynamics of the dripless spout and a lid that doesn't fall off when the tea is poured, while studying with a "teapot mentor" in Taiwan.
"You must deconstruct a teapot to really understand how it works," she explained. The aesthetic of her teaware is equally as perfected. It is a contemporary look, but, she said, "it's never aggressively modern and angular. It is minimal, simple and pared-down."
If you are looking for the perfect teapot, a masterfully-designed bench, unique jewelry, or one-of-a-kind pieces that are knit, quilted, sewn, sculpted or carved, come to the GFS Craft Show at Germantown Friends School, 31 W. Coulter Street Philadelphia in the Scattergood and Field House Gyms.
Show hours: Friday, March 1, Preview Night, 6 – 9 p.m.; Saturday, March 2, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.; and Sunday, March 3, 12 – 5 p.m. Admission on Saturday and Sunday is $10 per adult; students under 18 are free. Admission for the Preview Night is $35 in advance and $40 at the door.

"Kaza is deeply serious as she strives for the heartfelt in trees. . . . We get many wonderful moments down in the drinking roots of sycamores; up in the spring ecstasy of pollinating maples; sitting in the still wisdom of caves; and watching a nervous Kaza, with a diamond mind and a chain saw, cutting firewood that she praises." —Kirkus
"In The Attentive Heart we recover our primordial intimacy with trees. We are sheltered, nourished, and inspired by trees both physically and spiritually. Our loss of the forests and woodlands of the world is the loss of so many of our deepest interior experiences: the grace of the willow, the vigor of the oak, the flow of the American elm and the ash, the toughness of hickory. In this volume our sensitivity, our attentive heart, is awakened and from there we are on our own." —Thomas Berry, author of The Dream of the Earth
"Stephanie Kaza's book is a triumph—Deep Ecology writing at its most humbly, powerfully evocative. Her encounters with trees teach us to know—and, in knowing to love-both world and self. For here each tree, in disclosing its own story, its own beauty, reveals the beholder's as well. Each tells us, in a different voice, that if we are to preserve the natural world, we must let it feed our souls." —Joanna Macy, author of World as Lover, World as Self

NEW ORLEANS -- WWE's Elimination Chamber extravaganza is the last stop on the road to WrestleMania. The question is: Which WrestleMania?
The press in New Orleans is chock full of reports that the city will host WrestleMania 30 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in 2014. An official announcement could come from WWE and city officials Monday -- after all, there is a WWE press conference scheduled.
If that's the case, then the Feb. 17 pay-per-view was a lead-up to WrestleMania 29 on April in East Rutherford, N.J., as well as a successful dry run for wrestling's signature event a year from now.
An hour before the doors opened at the New Orleans Arena, fans waited in 200-yard-long lines and stood 50 deep at merchandise tents. Those numbers certainly paled in comparison to crowds around "Da Dome" at Super Bowl XLVII two weeks ago, and the intensity couldn't match the early '80s glory days of Junkyard Dog and Bill Watts' suspense-packed Mid-South promotion.
But WWE appears to have a good base to work with in a city that is still recovering from Hurricane Katrina 7-1/2 years ago.
In the main event, The Rock bested CM Punk in a heated main event to retain the WWE championship and move on to face John Cena at WrestleMania 29.
The headliner -- the 16-foot-high Elimination Chamber -- didn't live up to its billing, many fans said, and certainly fell short of the "10 tons of steel" described by Randy Orton in a pre-show interview.
Fans sitting at any of the four diagonals to the chamber, which is 36 feet in diameter, craned their necks to see around chains and wrestlers. A lot of them turned their attention to the more visible video board, so no doubt it played out better on TV screens at home. Within the arena, the match dragged at times -- a few "boring" chants were audible as five wrestlers lay prone on the mat at once.
And the outcome, which saw Jack Swagger pin Orton, was a definite letdown. The cheers for Orton were exceeded only by the pops for The Rock and John Cena.
Fans in the turquoise-paneled arena, which seats 18,500 and had about 15 percent of its seats blocked off, were started to catch fire with a six-man tag team match in which the upstart Shield beat Ryback, Cena and Sheamus.
Part of that was attributable to a late gate opening -- the pre-show started at 6:30 pm. CDT, but doors to the arena didn't open until about 5:40 p.m.
That meant fans were getting into their seats during a four-minute dark match that pitted the offbeat team of Brodus Clay and Lord Tensai against Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes. Tensai took a bit of a beating before Clay joined him for a double headbutt and double big splash on the prostate Rhodes.
Tensai and the Funkasaurus broke into a dance routine with the Funkadactyls, to the delight of kids in the crowd. If there was any doubt that WWE is playing at times to that audience, half-a-dozen WWE Power Slammers ads on the video board reinforced the message.
And for those who thought the golden age of managers -- Lou Albano, Bobby Heenan, Jim Cornette -- was dead and gone, the demise might be premature. Three of Elimination Chambers biggest names had managers, though they didn't officially use that moniker. Paul Heyman, adviser to Punk, got involved in the main event by sneaking the title belt into his man's hands.
Ricardo Rodriguez, Albert Del Rio's personal ring announcer, carried on at ringside like any manager devastated when his charge hits the mat or exhilarated at a fantastic comeback. And Zeb Coulter, the xenophobic mouthpiece for Swagger, was greeted with a chorus of "What?" when he started his anti-immigrant spiel, though New Orleans is only about 5 percent Hispanic or Latino.
Biggest pop of the night? Indisputably The Rock, when he pinned Punk; a false finish a few moves before on a People's elbow was almost as loud.
Biggest moan? Big Show held a gimmick bucket to the side of his head, but it took Del Rio two tries to kick it successfully and topple the big man.
Biggest T-shirt seller? Who else but John Cena. Cena shirts on men, women and kids wildly outnumbered other wrestler-related apparel. It's probably safe to assume there will be more Cena gear on Canal Street when New Orleans lands WrestleMania 30.

Mirtazapine to help with negative symptoms?
Read more... Schizophrenia Research Journal Articles
The effect of mirtazapine augmentation of clozapine in the treatment of negative symptoms of schizophrenia: a double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
Zoccali, Rocco; Muscatello, Maria Rosaria; Cedro, Clemente; Neri, Pietro; Torre, Diletta La; Spina, Edoardo; Rosa, Antonio Enrico Di; Meduri, Mario.
International Clinical Psychopharmacology. 19(2):71-76, March 2004.
Negative symptoms of schizophrenia (blunted affect, poverty of thought content and speech, avolition or apathy and social withdrawal) continue to be a substantial problem that currently have no consistent treatments. While there is some data for various behavioral treatments as well as some limited success with various medication interventions. This is another small study that uses an antidepressant to help treat negative symptoms. Antidepressants are compelling drugs for this purpose because the features that are most prominent in negative symptoms of schizophrenia also resemble prominent symptoms of depression. However, the use of older antidepressants such as the class called "tricyclics" had too many side effects and interactions with antipsychotic medications to be safe or effective. Other classes of antidepressants such as MAO-I (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) also had severe interactions with medications and foods and are rarely used in general but are never used with schizophrenia. Lastly, other trials have been done with stimulants but those medications are worrisome because they can induce psychosis in people who have never had it and therefore are especially dangerous in those that are prone for psychotic experiences. Some trials have been done with the SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) which are the most common antidepressants, but the data has not been convincing. This study looks at mirtazapine (Remeron® in the US) which is unique in its action and targets several very specific receptors in the brain and different neurotransmitters (the chemicals that signal brain cells to do different activities.)
This study utilized a well designed protocol to evaluate the effect of mirtazapine on negative symptoms. It was a double blind (neither the patient nor the raters knew the treatments the patients were on), randomized (anybody could have gotten placebo or active drug), and was controlled with placebo (so that it could be compared for possible placebo effect). At the beginning of the study, all the patients were evaluated and found to have the same average amount of symptoms between the groups. Both groups were generally free of positive symptoms (delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, etc.) All the patients were being treated with clozapine for their schizophrenia indicating that these were chronic patients as clozapine is generally reserved for people who have failed other treatments.
The authors found that overall patients with the mirtazapine did somewhat better than those who received the placebo. The results were statistically significant and borderline clinically significant (meaning that the groups were different, but the difference was minor in the overall treatment of the patients.) The authors postulated that maybe because mirtazapine and clozapine work in similar ways that they may be beneficial when used together but that was just a theory.
Overall, more research will need to be conducted on negative symptoms. Perhaps this might be another medication you might ask your doctor about if negative symptoms are a prominent problem. However, mirtazapine is not without its side effects. It can be very sedating at times and also is associated with weight gain. The sedation effects often go away with a higher dose, but the weight gain can be a persistent problem which can be especially troublesome given the weight gain issues of antipsychotics, particularly clozapine, quetiapine and olanzapine.

There seems to be little doubt in the minds of ardent Manchester United fans and the media that Thiago Alcantara will be arriving at the hallowed ground of Old Trafford very soon.
Some have been left drooling as they watch video after video of his incredible dribbling skills and his keen eye for a defence-splitting pass.
However, although his skills have kept us rightly entertained, not enough time has been spent contemplating how exactly he would fit into the star-studded squad and which players could potentially find themselves at the exit door. Let's take a look at where he could play:
Centre-attacking midfield:
The playmaker role is very clearly Thiago's preferred position and is the position in which he thrived at Barcelona.
Placing him next to a capable defensive shield such as Michael Carrick would give him the ability to cause absolute havoc against opposing teams, as Shinji Kagawa did against Norwich last year.
For a midfielder, Thiago gets a fair amount of goals -allowing him to continue in this position would take some of the goalscoring burden off of Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez.
Now, if Thiago did occupy this position, then Kagawa would most likely be shunted onto his left wing: a position that he himself has stated that he doesn't excel in.
Furthermore, utilising him in this position would see Carrick forced to operate as a shield rather than a fulcrum of the team.
Centre-defensive midfield:
It is less likely that David Moyes will shunt Thiago into a defensive midfield position knowing his strengths.
That said, limited space across the field might see Thiago filling the position that United most need strengthening in.
Thiago has a fantastic passing range and an incredible work ethic - two traits that would help him succeed in this position.
However, he would not be as effective as he could play further up the field.
United made the mistake with another incredible talent - Anderson - of dumping him in a defensive role and not playing to his strengths.
If Thiago were to occupy this position, there is little doubt that Anderson will be sold. Furthermore, the chances of Darren Fletcher making a full comeback seems to be decreasing. The good news is that Wayne Rooney will probably stay in his preferred position.
While he hasn't played in this position in his time at Barcelona, Thiago could excel in the "Messi" position.
Playing right behind Van Persie, Thiago's eye for a killer pass and quick feet could see him create a lot of scoring opportunities.
Van Persie's incredible positional sense and movement would open up a lot of space for Thiago to operate. Thiago could utilise his incredible dribbling skills to bamboozle defenders as his counterpart in Barcelona does on the daily basis.
Furthermore, his presence would push Kagawa further back in midfield alongside Carrick, not taking advantage of Kagawa's precocious talent.
To conclude, although it is hard to see where Thiago would fit in the team, it would be crazy for Moyes to pass up the opportunity to sign somebody of Thiago's talent.
He is a reasonably versatile player and may be asked to fill a variety of positions in the Manchester United squad.
At the moment, he's only 22 and clearly has room to grow and improve but he looks a very exciting prospect.
However, if he were to arrive, at least one current player would be forced to depart.

Just another story of love
One summer's day three years ago I found Augusta as a two months old kitten in front of my garage. Almost as soon as she entered she singled out Oset as her companion and they became inseparable. Augusta was licking him all the time, they were snuggling, cuddling and playing with each other. They were super cute together. Both of them survived panleukopenia.
When Oset disappeared a few months later Augusta was devastated. She stopped eating, lost weight and started to spend most of her time staring at nowhere. Months passed and she kept waiting, I couldn't console her no matter what I tried. Nevertheless I was sure he was alive somewhere and never gave up looking for him. When a friend of mine called me a few months later and told me about her new pale ginger kitty who didn't like fish I knew it was him. Augusta was beside herself with joy when she saw him again and he was equally happy. I kept them in my apartment.
We moved to the shelter and I thought their romance would last forever. Their life was like a fairy tale. Then suddenly, out of the blue, with absolutely no warning, Oset died unexpectedly. Augusta was completely shattered and heartbroken. She didn't seem to know how to move on, she spent weeks grieving for him. And she never got over her loss. Estranged from other cats, she became a real loner. She is always on her own, probably dreaming of her lost love and there's no way to comfort her. Her sadness is infinite. She will miss him forever.
"Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon, and a horizon is nothing save the limits of our sight".

Today we're chatting with Humdrum Films. Say hello to Jared and Jacob~
We see that you and Jacob met while at University. How great! How did your friendship turn into a business venture?
Correct, Jacob and I met while studying Film and Digital Media at University. The university had a fully-fledged TV studio, and we worked together on a number of shows for our local community television station. It was here a beautiful bromance formed, and I ended up recruiting Jacob to join me at a wedding video company I was working for at the time. 5 years later we left that business to start our own thing.
Kitzbuhel Uni Unisex Child Slippers Jeans Living For me, the value in University was the people I met and the experiences I gained through those friends, rather the textbook learning. I made some life-long friends, met my business partner, and my girlfriend. I never finished Uni, and consider myself self-taught. Jacob is the same.
In terms of how we came together in business, as the saying goes, if you don't build your own dream, someone else will hire you to help build theirs. So we made the decision to go out on our own and start a commercial production company.
The plan was not to do any weddings and actually focus on higher-end corporate films and other short form content. And so, We Are Standard was born.
We actually took 9 months off from weddings and started focusing on higher-end corporate films. Whilst we've had great success with our commercial clients, we've always loved shooting weddings, and the constant referrals from friends in the industry, as well as previous clients meant we were almost forced to start our own wedding film business.
And so, Humdrum Films was born – it was a chance for us to do things on our own terms and make the sort of films we'd always wanted to make. We feel so incredibly blessed that people connect with what we do, and appreciate the love and care we pour into each film we make.
We've always placed huge importance on the relationships we build both with our couples and other suppliers in the industry, and we think this shines through in our work. A little piece of our heart goes into everything we do.
How do you delegate tasks? Do you both shoot at each wedding or does one person focus on assisting and post-production?Heel Red Monk High Womens 5cm Minitoo Dance Salsa QJ6132 Latin Tango Toe Peep Suede Strap Ballroom Heel Sandals UPUT1R
I guess after working together for almost 8 years, we've been able to hone our working relationship into the symbiosis that defines our businesses today. It's hard to articulate but it 'just works'.
We've learned to play to our strengths and on the wedding day we're able to know what the other is thinking without actually speaking.
We do tend to focus on different things, but they happen in harmony – we believe we couldn't create the films we do without us both being there, and that is why we are so adamant that we'll never turn into a 'wedding factory' with multiple teams – we want to keep it bespoke and hand-crafted.
Jacob is an incredibly talented DOP with an amazing eye. His primary focus is on making the best images he can. But this is where that harmony comes into play – take the ceremony for example, he might focus on getting the over-the-shoulder reaction shots of the bride and groom exchanging vows, while I'll be getting a two-shot of them from the aisle.
He might be looking for emotion when the bride enters, while I'm focusing on a glidecam shot from behind etc etc – when you put it all together it works.
I'll also take care of all the audio and make sure we have multiple sources that are clean and of high quality. There are no second chances on a wedding day; we've only got one shot to get it right.
So whilst we both share creative duties, Jacob probably executes the role of Creative Director more so than I – he's overseeing the creative output from go to woah.
I however take care of all the back-office duties, inquiries, client meetings, emails, logistics, travel and all the other joys that accompany small business!
It works for us, and I get to go to work everyday with my best mate. I can never understand when I hear friends complain about their boss, or dread going into the office – we absolutely love what we do and the freedom it affords us.
What's in your bag?
Gear. We take a lot. I'm always envious when photographers can get on a plane with just their backpack and we're struggling with trolley tetris trying to get our 7 cases of stuff out to the rental car.
Child Kitzbuhel Jeans Living Unisex Slippers Uni
Unfortunately working with the moving image requires a few more bits and pieces to help us create amazing films. Of course, it's not all about the gear, and we use some of these tools sparingly firstly so we can remain unobtrusive, and secondly because telling a great story is always secondary to shooting in 4K or whatever the next tech fad may be.

What do you think makes you stand out from other cinematographers?
We've always put the work first – we are 100% committed to delivering the best finished product we possibly can. Nothing goes out the door without us being happy with it.
It's about taking an artisan's eye to every process in our business, from client interactions, through to shooting, colour grading and how we package our films. Our films are unique, handcrafted and full of our love and passion.
How we present ourselves on the day of the wedding and our client interactions are a massive part of what we do.This goes a long way to helping us get what we need and telling the best story we can. If our clients are happy and trust us, we can get the best content.
We want to keep our small and boutique feel by limiting the number of couples we work with. By doing this, we can keep our focus on making the best films we can.
Child Slippers Kitzbuhel Unisex Living Jeans Uni We're also really proud that we are personally invested in each film that we create. We say it's handcrafted because it is. Our couples deal with us directly from the initial consultation right through to the delivery of their film.
Ultimately, we want to be proud, as artists, of the work that we create. That's our driving force.
You use a ton of wonderful music for your videos. How do you match a song to a couple?
Music is something we labour over – and it can take AGES (I'm talking 1 or 2 days) to find the right track. But it's a corner we never cut. We mainly use Marmoset Music and The Music Bed to license our song choices.
We get to know our couples from our pre-wedding consultations and by spending their special day with them. Because of this, we are able choose music that we think not only reflects them as a couple, but also works best with the visuals and helps us tell a great story.
Music is a big part of what we do.
Anything else to add?
Jacob and I feel incredibly blessed that couples choose to include us in a really special day in their lives, and trust us to tell the story of their wedding day. We truly love what we do, and the people we get to meet.
We're so stoked that couples are now flying us around the world to tell their story and we can't wait to continue to grow the destination side of our business.
Humdrum Films is Jacob Williams and Jared Kettle. We met in 2008 while studying Film & Digital Media at Deakin University. We've been co-conspirators ever since.
Together, we have over 10 years of wedding experience behind us, and we feel incredibly lucky to have couples invite us into what is a very special day in their lives. It's an enormous privilege that they have trusted us to capture that memory for them. It's not something we take lightly.
Humdrum was born as a creative outlet, a way for us to tell unique stories through the moving image. We love what we do, and the people we get to meet.

This is my first script so any help would be appreciated.
I am trying to create a script which does a simplified version of popfile (I know I can't get the full functionality of popfile currently in Barca).
what I want to do is scan through the messages as they come into my inbox, and if they are in a particular address book or the domain is in a text file then add a extra line to the message header.
I have made a start and this is what I have done so far (After steeling a lot from add_sender_to_address_book. )
{ Get address from Reply-To header }
ReadHeader $email "Reply-To" %message
{ If there is no Reply-To header, get address from From header }
if $email = "" then GetFrom
GoTo ProcessAddress
ReadHeader $email "From" %message
{ need to check each of the filter text files to see if domain is in there }
{ and addressbooks for friends and work}
{ work }
IsAddressPresent &present $email "Work"
if &present then LeaveWork
{ friends }
IsAddressPresent &present $email "Address"
if &present then LeaveFriends
{ none found }
goto Leave
{ maybe possible to put this all into one }
AddHeader %message "X-Text-Classification: work"
goto Leave
AddHeader %message "X-Text-Classification: friends"
goto Leave
I have 2 problems though
1. is it possible to combine LeaveWork & LeaveFriedns (and any other categories subs I use) into one.
2. for each category I have a text file which contains a list of domains (a bit like the banned senders file), what I want to do is if address is not in address book read from these files and see if the domain is in them.
so for the work it would first check the work address book, and if not present would then check the work.txt file

The awesome Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet revolutionised commercial air travel. With more than 1,400 rolled off the production line to date, this select group is revolutionising the Jumbo's life-after-flight potential, from environmental consideration to the world's wildest recycled home and hostel.
The Jumbo Hostel
(Image licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-Share-Alike 3.0 Generic Unported)
As airport hostels go, this converted 747 in Stockholm is definitely the most original, the most daring and the most appropriate for the setting. The decommissioned Boeing 747-200, which was built in 1976 for Singapore Airlines, has 27 rooms and more than 70 beds. All rooms come equipped with wireless internet and flat screen TV which can be used to monitor departure times for the airport – just a five minute shuttle ride away.
(Images licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic)
The Jumbo Hostel, which offers a 24 hour service, also has a cafe where guests and non-guests alike can buy breakfast, served appropriately on airline trays – but hopefully a cut above airline food!
(Image licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic)
After service with Singapore Airlines, this old 747 was operated by Pan Am and finally Swedish airline Transjet, which went bust in 2002. To convert the aircraft, the original interior was ripped out with 450 seats replaced by 76 beds. New decor and a shiny coat of paint later, and the Jumbo Hostel was ready for the most discerning of travellers. The pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the "cockpit suite", a two bed room with ensuite and flight controls thrown in – just don't raise the landing gear!
Want to check out the Jumbo Hostel for yourself? Watch the tour (above) and visit the official website.
The Smithsonian's Revamped 747 Cockpit
(Images licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic)
When Washington DC's Smithsonian decided they needed a 747 – the plane that revolutionised air travel – nose section for its new America by Air exhibit, the plan was to impressive visitors with a ful-size replica. But before the model makers had chance to go to work, Northwest Airlines called to offer the Air and Space Museum an entire Jumbo Jet. With not enough room for the whole plane, the front was restored and placed in the museum – this colossal nose section alone takes up half the room! But the rest of the aircraft wasn't so lucky.
(Image courtesy of James Covington, Airliners.net)
Here it is, rusting away on an airfield at Maxton, North Carolina in September 2006. This 747-151 was the first built for Northwest Airlines and took to the sky in 1970. Its wings were clipped in 1999, with the aircraft reduced to scrap metal seven months after this photo was taken. The nose section was removed, renovated and dismantled into various sections for transportation to the museum. Visitors can now wander onto the top deck, check out the old fashioned analogue cockpit and wonder what can be found at the bottom of the elegant spiral staircase (fitted to the older Jumbos, as opposed to the more traditional straight ones of today).
Boeing 747 Restaurant
(Images licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported)
Like the Jumbo Hostel above, this 747 in Namyangju-Si, South Korea can claim to be one of the few – if not the only – restaurants created inside an entire Jumbo Jet – minus half of the right wing, which was cut off due to lack of space. Looking rather better inside than out, this photo was taken in November 2005, since which time the "restaurant" appears to have been abandoned. Dark Roasted Blend published a great article about this aircraft – the second 747 ever built and the first to fly commercially – with a spectacular selection of photos, which demonstrate what happens to man's greatest mechanical wonders when left out in the rain.
Extreme Living: 747 Wing House Project
As far as "recycled" 747s go, the Wing House Project in Malibu is probably the greenest and most ambitious. The planning process lasted several years, partly because owner Francie Rehwald had to gain approval and special markings for recycled parts that could unwittingly be taken for an aircraft crash site! But approval did come and work on the green home – designed primarily around the aircraft's two massive wings – commenced. In the true spirit of green living, none of the 747 will go to waste. Parts of the fuselage (see Alan Radecki's picture, top) will become a guest house and art studio, while the nose section, pointed skyward, is to be a meditation pavillion. Join the journey vicariously via the video above. And don't miss Alan Radecki's series of retired aircraft that were not so creatively recycled. (More plane houses here.)
Boeing 747 Spare Bedroom Flight Simulator
Last but not least, this one may not be the biggest but it is no less ambitious. Once again, the parts are recycled and the result is probably one of the most incredible – and bizarre – spare bedrooms in the world – a fully functioning, homemade 747 cockpit simulator, with seats that look far more comfortable than the real thing! John Davis spent eight years and £15,000 building the simulator. It's now proven so successful that John has quit his job as a graphic designer and now runs a full time flight sim business from his home in Coventry, UK.
(Images by Gizmodo, reproduced with permission)
The cockpit is made of wood with a main 12 ft x 9 ft screen and two 19-inch flat screens for the side windows. Microsoft Flight Simulator and Aerowinx PS1 take care of the visuals, while the autopilot system, throttles and weather radar were found online. The 747-400 cockpit simulator, which can recreate pretty much anywhere in the world, costs between £65 ($130) for one hour and £420 ($850) for six hours.
John has logged an impressive 2,500 hours on the simulator, and his wife has since moved out. In 2007, John and some mates embarked on a round-the-world flight in the sim to raise funds for his local Air Ambulance. In-flight entertainment came via a Scottish Elvis impersonator and the wife of one of the "crew" was on airline food duty. Urban Ghosts Media loves the simulator and wishes John as many landings as there are takeoffs! Read the full interview in Gizmodo.

It's been over a decade since their divorce, but Nicole Kidman is still heartbroken over her divorce from Tom Cruise.
Yes, she's remarried to country crooner Keith Urban, with whom she has two beautiful daughters. But a new interview with DuJour magazine reveals the Aussie star may be still pining for her ex.
Though it's been over a decade since they were together, it's clear the memories of their romance are bittersweet. She first met Tom in 1989 after he arranged to meet her after seeing her performance in the thriller Dead Calm. Married a year later, "I was reeling with Tom," she told DuJour. "I would have gone to the ends of the earth for him ... I was so impulsive and naive."
As the years passed, she grew more enamoured with the star. "I was totally smitten -- I fell madly, passionately in love." With one of the most high profile marriages in Hollywood, they were constantly under the microscope. As Nicole tells it, it was them against the world. "We were in a bubble, just the two of us. We became very dependent on one another," she said.
Then it all came to a shocking end. As they celebrated their 10th anniversary, "I thought our life together was perfect," she recalled. Then two months later, Tom left her. The only reason he gave for dumping her was a cryptic, "Nic knows why." She begged him to stay, but Tom, it seemed, never looked back. "It took me a very long time to heal," she admitted. "It was a shock to my system."
After hearing so many rumors about Tom Cruise's many romances -- they are fake, arranged, contractual with an expiration date -- it's surprising to hear such an outpouring of emotion from Nicole. She seemed to be truly in love with the actor and absolutely devastated by his decision to leave her. Well, what goes around comes around, as they say. Tom was reportedly equally blindsided when Katie Holmes took off. But my heart really goes out to Nicole. We have all been there.
Meeting Keith restored her faith in love. "My life changed. He is a wonderful, caring man and he makes me feel secure. We don't ever like to be separated," she shared. Now married six years, "I'm happier than I've ever been in my life."
Are you surprised to learn Nicole was so in love with Tom?

We recently got to hang out with the guys from West Coast Balance in Santa Ana, California, to learn about the procedures they use to meticulously balance rotating assemblies—everything from high-powered drag racing monsters to high revving endurance combos and everything in between. In these days of stroker cranks, lightweight rods and pistons, engine balancing is even more important. And while the aftermarket cranks from overseas are strong and affordable, they require balancing if you want your engine to last.
Shop operator Andy Maron has been balancing rotating assemblies since the late 1970s and got his start on diesel engines, but these days, his SoCal shop is geared towards high-performance and racing engines. The procedure starts with simply weighing the connecting rods and then the pistons to find the lightest one of each bunch. Then, the remaining rods and pistons are shaved on a belt sander to match the weight of the two lightest components. At this point, a set of rings, the pin, and the locks are weighed, as are the rod bearings. The idea is to get to total bob weight of the rod assembly. Once that number is known, brass bob weights are stacked and bolted to the crankshaft and spun up on a crank balancer. The bob weights mimic the presence of the rod and piston assembly and the crank balance machine senses where the crank either needs weight added or needs weight taken away. This becomes tricky when a customer wants to balance a stock crank with lightweight rods, or when a lower quality crank is used. It also gets tricky when you want to convert an engine with light rods to heavier ones. Maron explained, "Guys will bring in LS7 engines to convert them over to H-beam rods (likely because they want to boost them). Well, you have to compensate for that added weight in the crank, which is substantial on those, but customers ask for it."
The cost of your balance job relies mainly on not how much metal needs to be removed, but rather how much needs to be added. "We sometimes have to add a lot of weight to a crank in order to make it right, and that can get expensive." Heavy metal, or in West Coast Balance's case, Tungsten/Nickel, is inserted into the crank counter weights in order to achieve proper balance. "When we have to add heavy metal, we freeze the slugs before pressing them in," Andy said. By freezing them, they shrink by a few thousandths and can easily be pressed into the side of the counter weight. When the slugs reach ambient temperature, they expand, locking them in place; even at 10,000 rpm.
We learned that small-block Chevys can be confusing when it comes to balancing depending on if you have an early or late-model engine. Because of the one-piece rear main seal on late model SBCs, you could say the engine is sort of half-internal, half-externally balanced. The rear seal on late small-blocks rides on a large concentric journal, so there's no offset flange like on early motors. To compensate for the added weight, an externally balanced flexplate must be used, even though your harmonic balancer may be a zero balance.

quick question.....Why aren't NHC scores published? Maybe it is the competitor in me but I would like to know what a beer scored not just that it got 1st place.
Maybe because it's nobody's business but the brewer's.
Quote from: denny on June 26, 2012, 08:09:55 PMMaybe because it's nobody's business but the brewer's.+1 Score is only relevant to the brewer and how that brewer can improve their own recipes. Plain and simple.
Heck the winning recipes are even published in Zymurgy.
Yes, medals are usually in larger competitions awarded completely independent of the scores. Here's what happened at the NHC Second Round (and at other big comps including the first round) - it's usually referred to as a miniBOS.The category is split between judging panels. For instance, I judged 16 Belgian and French Ales in Seattle. There were 3 judging teams of 3 judges a piece. Each team tackled individual entries. (It ended up being about 13 entries per team). Each team determined what the top 3 beers were from their portion of the category. Those 9 entries were then re-poured (from a fresh bottle) for the 3 head judges of the flight teams. (aka 1 person from each squad). We know the entry number and the style, but not the score given by the previous judges.We debated the merits of each entry and eventually winnowed it down to our top 3 beers for the flight and their medal order. So why the score independence? Because as best as we try, different judges grade differently. A 38 from me would be the equivalent of a 42 from another judge. If you just go by score, then entries judged by my crew suffer. Now in smaller competitions and/or smaller categories if a single team of judges can tackle all the entries together then yes, medals are usually based on score. (Although judges usually have the right to assign whatever order they see fit)

Carl_SaulIsaac needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 52 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
I require some post cards designing for my Portrait Studio that can be used as handouts for Advertising the studio at Events and Craft Fair, and for possible mailshots.
Exigent Photography
I require some post cards for the studio that will have studio images displayed on the front with an offer on the back, so this is a double sided design. I want the images to be the main focus of the design and I quite like postcards that hold just one image although I have seen some designs that have multiple images.
There will be a $100 prize for the first winner that will be paid immediatley. I will purchase all the designs that I really like over time as I need upto about 6 designs. But I do need at least 1 urgently. I would like to purchase other (cash flow permitting so please do not remove any designs that are give 4 stars and above.
I wont go into many details about what I do and don't like at this stage as the logo I had designed on this site recently produced better results when I opened up the design element. Although obviously I would like my new logo used (But it will use my blue colour scheme and not the one currently displayed on this site).
The following is a link to some studio images that we prefer:-
This file is 36Mb so please let me know if you have a problem with this. Also please respect my copyright on the images. If you would like to use the images to display any designs you do here please check with me first.
The images are broken up into 2 groups as I would like the a postcard that is designed either for familie portraits and another that is for our "Little Dudes" Club (Babies and toddlers 0-3years old)
Here is a link to 2 post cards I did (Very Poor Quality):-
They essentially contain the text element that I would like on the back of the post card. I would like a space on the design to place a sticker/stamp for a reference no. and also the expiry date of the offer.
Please note that for the back of the postcard (Text element) I would like this designed in such away that the text can be easily change as and when offers change or the desciption. Also I don't have any massive objections if you want to add your own text i.e. quotes. onto any part of the design. I am also not adversed to the front of the postcard having text if you think it will help your design.
The postcards can either be standard postcard size or 1/3 A4.
- A Postcard with Family offer and displaying Family images
- A Postcard with Little Dudes Portrait images and text offe
- A stylish Clean cut design
- Emphasis on images on the front
- Text on the back
- Eye Catching
- Simple

Considering how the comedy "Will and Grace" moved social acceptance of gay rights forward in our country, the more serious radionovela, "Bienvenidos a Casa," or "Welcome Home," is a great idea. It features the story of a gay teenager who is rejected by latino society then accepted by his mother, then his neighbors:
Activists say it's the first time information about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues is reaching rural Latino farmworker communities in a language and format that's accessible.
The three-episode radionovela, developed in collaboration with San Francisco State University and California Rural Legal Assistance, was based on input from community focus groups and performed by community volunteers.
Many Latinos grew up listening to radionovelas, which in some parts of Latin America are more popular than television and have inspired the creation of telenovelas – TV soap operas. The radio dramas depict life's struggles through recurring characters and themes. In recent years, short radionovelas have become an increasingly popular way to raise awareness of various issues among Latino audiences in the U.S.
Welcome change for a culture that is used to ridiculing and trumpeting negative stereotypes. Latino entertainment has been in dire need of positive messages regarding acceptance of differing sexual orientations and gender expression.
Note from Joe: This is a pretty cool development — and can only help with potential allies. Last year, polling in California showed that Latino Catholics are actually strong supporters of marriage equality. Family matters.

Mike Pelfrey is pitching this afternoon for the Mets, but I'm more interested today in Eddie Kunz, the guy who was supposed to be the Mets closer after Billy Wagner.
With the bullpen in shambles in 2008, Kunz got a look-see and disappointed. Kunz, 24 next month, also pitched poorly early this week against the Braves, walking three and retiring only one of the six batters he faced. He gave up four runs, and while one outing won't determine his fate, it has been awhile since we've seen something positive from Kunz other than the scouting reports.
"He's got great stuff,'' manager Jerry Manuel said. "His ball moves. It's powerful sink.''
Yes, the scouting report reads the same as it did when he came out of Oregon State, but the results haven't been there, and the Mets, a team in need of a bullpen, are moving on without him.
Names are bandied about, and Jenrry Mejia is the flavor of the month, but nobody talks about Kunz anymore.
Spring training is for new beginnings, and for Kunz it could be about last chances.

So, I grew up in Santa Cruz in the 1970's. Suffice it to say that this was a peak time of hippiness. There were topless women protesting beauty pageants parading just blocks from my house. There was a lady who wore all rainbow clothing and free-style danced to live jazz music for hours every day. There were free spirits a'plenty. And, in keeping with this general ethos, there were health food stores too!
That said, I was born with sugar in my veins, and I had a crazy sugar tooth as a kid. My mom, on the other hand, really is a salty gal... and could sorta give or take the sweeties. The fact that this attitude is even possible is a total mystery to me. So, I think that might have been one reason for all the healthy eating... it just didn't occur to her that we might be jonesing for some treats.
3 vegan "eggs" (I used 2 flax eggs, and 1 EnerG egg equivalent)
1 1/2 cups sugar (I used half rapadura, half regular sugar)
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/3 c vegetable oil
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
4 cups grated zucchini (about two good-sized zukes)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or white whole wheat flour)
1/2 cup bran (I used oat bran)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup turbinado sugar for topping (optional)
Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar and your vegan "eggs" of choice. Next add in the vanilla & oil & applesauce, and then stir in the grated zucchini.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, bran, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and walnuts. Add it into the zucchini mixture, and stir until just evenly moistened and there are no dry bits left. Scrape the batter into the prepared pans.
If you like a crispy, sugary crunch on your zucchini bread, sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly around on the surface of both loaves.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.* Let the loaves sit for 5 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely. It's best to cool them completely before slicing them.
*These loaves should be moist, but (obviously) cooked through. So, if the toothpick comes out with raw-looking batter on it, they should keep cooking. But, if the toothpick just comes out looking moist with a little crumb or two, that sounds about right.

Off the Beaten Path: Ming Chan Dong's Giant Kimchi Bun
"Nothing screams glamour more than a gargantuan kimchi-filled bun marked with furrows deeper than a Klingon's forehead."
[Photos: Joe DiStefano]
The awning reads "Oriental Glamour," but the Korean name of this spot is Ming Chan Dong. After a chat with Paulie Sunhine, my dry cleaner to whom I regularly turn for advice on all matters Korean, I'm pretty sure the name roughly translates to many bright appetizers from the East. Indeed, as this Chowhound post shows, there are tons of appetizers and entrees both Northern Chinese and Korean. I stopped by the other day with my heart and stomach set on trying just one: kimchi jjin bbang. After all, nothing screams glamour more than a gargantuan kimchi-filled bun marked with furrows deeper than a Klingon's forehead.
Looks like a dumpling, but it's not. It's a steroidal steamed bun, roughly the size of a baby's head.
After a few bites of warm, puffy bread, the core reveals itself. It's a spicy reddish hash of chopped kimchi, translucent bean thread noodles, and bits of ground pork. (Note the kimchi magma stains on the crust of this planetoid-sized bun.)
Ming Chan Dong charges $1.50 for its hunger-curbing kimchi jjin bbang. Not sure how much Dunkin' Donuts charges for its kimchi donuts, but it's a safe bet MCD's kimchi buns are better, cheaper, and tastier.

Wabash saw one of the most successful seasons in the baseball program's history come to an end Friday afternoon with a 7-5 loss to Salisbury in the NCAA Division III Tournament. The Little Giants were the first team in the school's 145-year baseball history to play in the NCAA tourney.
The Little Giants led 5-4 thanks to a two-run sixth inning capped by an RBI double by Joe Johnson (pictured). Salisbury's three-run inning gave the Seagulls the lead in the bottom of the sixth before turning aside challenges from Wabash in eighth and ninth innings.
Wabash finished the season with a 22-22 overall record. The Little Giants entered the NCAA Tournament as the fifth seed after winning their first North Coast Athletic Conference tournament title in school history to earn the league's automatic bid the national tourney.
Chris Deig set the Wabash single-season hits record with his 64th base knock of the season.
The Little Giants took a 1-0 lead when David Siebel's single scored fellow senior PJ Tyson from second in the second inning. The Seagulls scored single runs in the third and fourth innings to take a 3-1 lead. John Pennington drilled a triple down the left field line in the fifth inning after Deig's single to cut the Salisbury lead to one. John Holm's sacrifice fly scored Pennington from third to pull Wabash even at 3-3.
After Salisbury added another run in the fifth, Tanner Coggins laced a leadoff single up the middle. Tyson's ground ball moved Coggins to second, and a Lares single sent him to third. Seibel's sacrifice fly tied the game at 4-4 before Johnson's RBI single gave Wabash the lead.
The three-run sixth by the Seagulls proved to be too much for Wabash to overcome. The Little Giants started a possible rally in the eighth inning with a leadoff single by Coggins. A drive to right Tyson that could have put runners on second and third was hauled in on the run by rightfielder Nate Gentry for Salisbury. Lares' single put runners at first and second, but Drew Baldwin induced an inning-ending double play to keep the lead at two runs.
Pennington and Holm each hit two-out singles in the ninth, but Baldwin finished the game with a strikeout to send the Seagulls into the final day of competition at the South Region.
Lares finished with three hits, while Pennington, Coggins, and Johnson each added two. Lares also earned a place on the regional All-Tournament team, going 6-for-12 in three games for the second-highest batting average among the entire field of players.

Author Notes: My favorite way to eat these preserves is on a grilled cheese sandwich. Especially one made with a sharp cheddar and fresh sourdough. In fact, that may be my favorite sandwich of all time. —SavvyJulie
Makes: 3 half-pints
pounds sungold tomatoes
cup lemon juice
tablespoons apple cider vinegar
cup brown sugar
cups granulated sugar
teaspoons ground cinnamon
teaspoons ground nutmeg
In This Recipe
- In a food processor or blender, blend the tomatoes until mostly smooth.
- Mix the tomato puree with the rest of the ingredients in a large stockpot. Heat over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for about an hour, or until the preserves will mound on the back of a spoon without sliding off. Use an immersion blender to smooth out the preserves. Savvy Tip: If you don't have an immersion blender, you can process the preserves in batches in a food processor or blender. Alternatively, don't blend the preserves any further, and enjoy the more chunky preserves.
- While the preserves cook, prepare for canning. Wash the jars and flat lids with hot, soapy water. Put the jars in the canning pot and fill the pot with hot water. Heat over medium-high heat to keep the jars hot. Place the lids in a heat-proof bowl.
- When the preserves are almost done, move some of the boiling water from the canning pot into the heat-proof bowl containing the lids. Line the hot jars up on a folded towel, then pour the water out of the heat-proof bowl and off the lids.
- Fill the jars with preserves up to ¼" below the rim. Use a clean towel to wipe any preserves off the rims, then top each jar with a lid and a tightened ring.
- Place the jars back in the canning pot and make sure they are covered by at least 1 inch of water. Bring to a boil and process for 15 minutes. Place the jars on a folded towel and allow to sit, undisturbed, for 24 hours. Check the seals of the lids after 1 hour. If a seal has not formed, refrigerate the jar immediately.

Dear Women of India,
Well, sabse pehle my introduction. So here it is - I am a regular Delhi ka banda. Was born here, fumbled through school here , re-fumbled through my college here, and now am earning my bread in this city too. You know, a regular guy with all the delhi works - a slightly loudish punjabi accent, a pretty decent collection of Honey Singh songs, memories of roaming Dilli Haat in winters, the hardened reluctance to call it "Connaught Place" and not "Rajiv Chowk", the occasional traffic signal jumping. Etc Etc.
So let's talk, ladies. And first up, since it's the first day of a new year - Happy new year. May this year bring you prosperity and joy. But wait. Maybe I should not use such lofty types adjectives for the upcoming year, hai na ? Words which immediately strike up visions of smiling faces, sprinkling giggles, harmonious living, and such. It's not realistic, right ? I mean, barely 15 days ago, one of you was gangraped in my city. Gangraped. Assaulted with iron rods. Thrown out of a bus, to die. And die, she did. Gangraped. Not the first time I have read that word in a newspaper. Keeps popping up. I read the word, nod dissapprovingly, think "Kitne Kameene hotein hain kuch log". And then, turn the page. Gangrape. Bura hai, but hota hain, I tell myself. Hota hai, at these remote villages in Rajasthan or Bihar. Hota hain, at 3:30 in the mornings. Hota hai, in a world which does not intersect with my world.
Bure log karte hain, Becharo logo ke saath hota hain. What can I do.
But this time, I am a little shaken up you know. I mean, this is too real. She was out at 9, she was in the Hauz Khas area, she was coming back from a movie my family watched a week before that.This is all like regular stuff. This is not some remote village in Rajasthan, this is not about people from a different world. This is all very real - a situation women in my family could have been in.
And now, suddenly, I am feeling like those goons I used to read about in newspapers are at the door of my home, beating on it with hockeys and chains, threatening to do the same to my world. I am shaken up. And I am getting panicky. This is not about some unfortunate women and wicked men now. This is about women who are my family and friends now.I am googling for pepper sprays, asking the women in my circle to get to their homes before 7, reminding my wife about 181 all the time. And even though I sound naive and insensitive saying this, it is for the first time I am feeling a crime reported regularly on the pages of a newspaper becoming a threat to my world. My life. My people.
My people. You know, my people.
And I guess this is where I messed this up. Because I have never considered you, women who are not my friends and family, as my people. I did not. To me, you were like - others. Not "objects of desire", as some of the more ghastly members of my species would see you as. But still, not my people. I mean, my mom, my sisters, my wife, my friends. My job is to protect them. Any woman outside this circle, and they are not my people.
So when one of you was being touched by a man in a stuffed DTC bus, I was a coward somewhere in the same bus listening to my ipod. When one of you was being commented upon by a group of bikers at a traffic signal in this city, I was probably hurrying past in my car to catch some cricket game on TV. When one of you was being groped in a bustling market, I was probably in the same market buying gifts for my family. And now, when these diseased waters are threatening to burst through the doors of my home, I realise, that I should have tried to help put up barricades when the flood was entering my city. I realise, with unescapable blame, that everytime even one single woman in this country was being ravished by this epidemic, it was inching closer to one of my own.
I realise, with shame, that this has happened not just because of men who did it when it happened, but also because of men like me, who did not do anything about it before it happened.
And now, after all that I have allowed to happen, I do not think I am in a position to blame any politicians or cops. Main kya patthar maarun, jab maine hee yeh sab hone diya hain. I was the culprit who set up these imaginary, misplaced distinctions between you, the women of my country and the women of my family. And it is only me who has to dissolve them now.
Maybe it's too late now. But I need to start now. I hope that the next time I sense one of you being disrespected, I will help you fight back. I am no superhero, not even a six footer - so I may be beaten up, but then, you gotta fight for your people. I hope that I would not help such an incident happen again.
So, dear women of India, while you are powerful beings in yourselves, the creators of lives and such strong pillars of emotional and mental courage we men can never imagine to be - I hope, however far fetched the idea may be, that some day in the future you will feel safe walking the streets of my city. Not because you have a pepper spray in your handbag, but because of knowing that you live in a city where people , including men who have been as insensitive and cowardly as I have been, have the courage to stand up for not just the women of our families, but also for the women of our country.
A Regular Delhi Guy.

Signal Integrity and PCB layout is not easy is different for each and every
application, but it can be learned.
The first thing to do purchase a copy of
High-Speed Digital Design : A Handbook Of Black Magic
By Johnson, Howard W. / Graham, Martin
Covers signal reflection, crosstalk, and noise problems that occur in
high-speed digital machines (about 10 megahertz).
Includes checklists that ask the questions an experienced designer would ask
about a new system.
Offers useful formulas for inductance, capacitance, resistance, rise time, and
Explains the trade-offs between signal crosstalk, mechanical fabrication of
tolerances, and trace routing density.
Presents a methodology for determining how many layers will be required to
route a printed circuit board.
The second thing to do is sit down for a couple undisturbed days and read it
very carefully.
Then read it again.
Thirdly log onto Howard's web page www.sigcon.com - read, read, read.
Fourthly, purchase a copy of the following book and read it thoroughly as
EMC and the Printed Circuit Board: Design, Theory, and Layout Made Simple by
Mark Montrose
Contents : EMC Fundamentals; EMC Inside The PCB; Components
and EMC; Image Planes; Bypassing and Decoupling;
Transmission Lines; Signal Integrity and
Crosstalk; Trace Termination; Grounding
Copyright : 1999
Format : Hardcover
Pages : 320pp
List Price US$ : $69.99
IEEE Member Price US$: $56.00
IEEE Product No. : PC5756-QAJ
After all this reading, you can probably answer a lot of your own questions.
But remember, there
is not just one solution and it is not an easy subject matter. It takes
knowledge, experience and
some guesswork.
Finally, may I suggest you get a Signal Integrity (SI) tool. There are
several like Viewlogic's XTK
and Mentor's IS. The one I like is Hyperlynx. (www.hyperlynx.com) Mainly
because it is very easy to use,
secondly because you don't have to sell your first born son to get it. It may
not be as accurate
as the previous two, but I don't have to hire a guru to run it.
LineSim is a good first cut - but you have to lay out the signal topology
yourself one at a time.
It is ok for scratch pad work and pre-planning.
BoardSim lays out all the signals at once by reading in your actual board
layout from your CAD tool.
BoardSim willl let you approximate things with the generic models it provides,
but you WILL have to
learn what IBIS models are before you can really make use of BoardSim.
Download the demo and take a look.
Like I said, SI and PCB layout is not easy, but with some reading and
experience you can get along
just fine.
Good Luck,
