OpenRAVE and ROS
Rosen Diankov of CMU just finished up a winter internship here at Willow Garage. Here's his report on the work he did helping Willow Garage improve its manipulation capabilities:
Manipulation is a key component to enable actuation of the environment. During my short stay at Willow Garage, we worked towards getting the PR2 robot to autonomously manipulate boxes on a table using the OpenRAVE planning system developed at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). What makes OpenRAVE worth using is that its grasp and manipulation planning algorithms do not require manual human domain knowledge to complete the task; all the planners and algorithms easily generalize across robots without needing to tweak parameters. OpenRAVE has been used to write robust manipulation scripts that have been tuned and tested on multiple robot systems for the past 2 years.
During the first week at Willow Garage, we were able to quickly identify the features needed for ROS to support the OpenRAVE integration. Because Willow Garage supports an open environment, these features were quickly discussed upon, approved on, developed, debugged, and completed. Some of the packages include
- openrave: an OpenRAVE server running on top of the ROS framework providing manipulation planning and grasping services
- rosoct: Native Octave/Matlab ROS bindings for scripting.
- laser_camera_calibration: Calibration routines for the real world sensors
- robot_self_filter: filters for removing robot links from sensor data
In the end, the robot was able to run for long periods of time without any component crashing. One of the advantages of using OpenRAVE in conjunction with ROS is that it is easy to prototype demos and complex systems. The user does not have to take down the entire system when making minor changes to code -- in fact he only has to take down that one component of interest; the rest of the components are designed to be robust against these changes.
Below is a video showing the beginnings of manipulation on the PR2. The video first starts off showing how the grasps are automatically generated and shows a proof of concept in simulation. Then it shows the real robot following these same tasks. In the upper left corner is the output of the sensor world in OpenRAVE. At every grasp attempt, the robot makes a clone of this environment and analyzes it for possible grasps. Environment clones remove the need to worry about objects moving in and out of the scene as the planner executes. Trajectories are sent to the real robot as parts of the plan are done. In between pauses, the robot updates its internal view of the world with the new robot values and begins the next set of plans from there.
In the near future, we plan to integrate dynamic obstacles tracked by the laser range finder with the manipulation planner. The robot arm should be able to dynamically modify its trajectories as new obstacles are detected with the scanner. This will obviate the need for a motion capture system to track the robot and the table and will allow us to perform this manipulation demo virtually anywhere!

Verizon rumors have come to a boil over the past few weeks. Not only are we hearing Verizon rumors from reputable sources like the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, we've heard from Verizon on the fact that they're trying to find a way to integrate simultaneous voice and data into their network. Some analysts may say this is to prepare for the launch of an iPhone on Verizon.
Whether or not you'd like to leave AT&T, we've got to face the fact that Verizon has its down sides too (aside from Apple and Verizon battling out their obsessive needs for control). One of those being that pesky simultaneous voice and data issue.
Sprint and Verizon both use a technology referred to as CDMA with the accompanying EVDO rev A data, while AT&T and T-Mobile use a technology referred to as GSM with EDGE and now HSPA for data. While CDMA may have better voice quality, none of the carriers have (yet) rolled out EVDO rev B which supports simultaneous voice and data, or committed to an EVDO rev A workaround to enable it with the current technology. They're all moving to LTE anyway, so it simply may not have been a priority.
What does this mean for the end user? It means you can't update your Facebook status, check your e-mail, or look something up on the web while on a phone call. Verizon has tried to downplay this in the past by saying simultaneous voice and data isn't all that important. Many business users may disagree. There's been numerous times I've went to look something up for a client while on the phone. Having to hang up with them in order to do that would become highly annoying for many business users who have become accustomed to being able to have that functionality.
Now it appears Verizon is willing to do something about it. No exact details have been given except for the fact that they are working on a solution that would offer simultaneous voice and data on their existing network. No firm date has been thrown out except that it should be available as of early next year.
One of things holding me back from Verizon is the fact that I can't browse and talk. CDMA is also a technology that isn't supported worldwide. I like knowing that if I choose to unlock my phone or buy an unlocked version, I can pop a foreign SIM in my phone and know it'll work in almost every country since GSM has become a worldwide standard. If Verizon makes the iPhone a world phone like they have with some Blackberries, I'd be more apt to set that concern aside.
Are any of these obstacles a big deal to you guys? Would Verizon solving these problems make you more apt to jump from the Death Star to Big Red? Let us know in the comments!

What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets
Michael J. Sandel
256 pages, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2012
Harvard political philosopher Michael Sandel is one of our nation's preeminent public intellectuals. Author of many notable books, he is a masterful teacher of a legendary class, called "Justice," also offered online and on television, and seen by millions. In 2010, China Newsweek named him "the most influential foreign figure of the year."
Sandel's mode of operation is straightforward: he tackles large and important questions in clear, engaging prose, examining a feature of contemporary life in which ethical boundaries have been transgressed or where an important ethical concern has been leached from debate. In previous work, Sandel has expressed anxiety about a diminishing capacity to talk about moral issues in American politics and civil society, and has sounded an alarm about the quest for perfection in biomedical research and genetic engineering.
Sandel's new book takes up the large and undeniably important question: What, if any, are the moral limits of the marketplace? What shouldn't money buy? True to form, he worries that things have gone too far, that we have "drifted from having a market economy to being a market society." His aim is to show the moral cost of what happens when everything is for sale, when any good can be commodified.
Far from an academic treatise, the book consists mainly of short case studies of surprising new commodities and labor forms. The first chapter is about the line jumping market— people who are paid to stand in line at airports, Congressional hearings, or amusement parks, as well as those who work as ticket scalpers and so-called concierge doctors. The second chapter is about encouraging or limiting various behaviors through market incentives, such as tradable pollution permits, cash for good grades, payments for human organs, or a marketplace in accepting refugees. The third chapter examines how markets can crowd out desirable moral norms, such as hiring friends, purchasing wedding toasts, auctioning college admissions, and buying rather than donating blood. The fourth chapter takes up markets in life and death, covering Internet death pools, a terrorism futures market, and death bonds. The final chapter questions the proliferation of naming rights, such as the Falik Men's Room at Harvard, endowed by and named after alumnus William Falik. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction!
Examples abound in Sandel's book, which makes for a good, even rollicking read. And as the examples accumulate, one begins to appreciate just how deeply markets and market behavior have rooted themselves in virtually all aspects of our lives. The claim that we are a market society, as opposed to having a market economy, seems not far-fetched.
Yet Sandel is not arguing against markets per se. Rather, he proposes that markets should have limits. He identifies two moral concerns. First, when markets exist everywhere, he argues, we need to worry more about inequality. If money can buy more and more, including political influence and better health care and education, then having money matters more and more. Second, making certain goods into commodities can corrupt the very value of these goods; market norms can crowd out valuable non-market behavior.
Sandel's first point is really an argument about fairness, and it is a familiar concern. If money is the necessary means to obtaining certain goods, or a certain quality of goods, then the poor will be systematically disadvantaged in the marketplace. Should obtaining a life-saving organ transplant depend on the ability to pay a market price for the organ? Should admission to a selective university ride on the wealth of a student's parents? When goods such as these are commodified, we rightly worry about unfairness.
The second argument about market norms displacing valuable non-market behavior, however, is Sandel's main preoccupation. For Sandel, markets not only allocate goods, they "express and promote certain attitudes toward the goods being exchanged." Paying cash for good grades may corrode an intrinsic desire to learn. Auctioning off college admissions can corrupt the integrity of higher education.
A famous example of this general phenomenon, twice discussed by Sandel, is a study of childcare providers in Israel. The day care centers were having a problem with parents arriving past closing time to pick up their children. Several providers opted to introduce a fine for late pick-ups. The result was an increase in late pick-ups, where parents treated the fine as a fee they were willing to pay rather than construing on-time pick-up as a norm they were expected to uphold. For Sandel, this demonstrates how attaching a price to certain moral or civic goods can diminish or corrupt those very goods.
Like the worry about unfairness, corruption is a reasonable concern. But Sandel never delivers an argument about exactly how to determine whether or when market norms will displace non-market behavior. Or more importantly—since markets can promote efficiency and liberty and agency—Sandel offers no resource to referee whether the benefit from commodifying certain goods is worth the cost to non-market norms.
Sandel's talent is for identifying and asking important questions about the place of markets. But the book fails—indeed, does not really try—to answer these questions. Even in the many examples Sandel describes, the reader is left unsure whether he believes that some moral limit has actually been transgressed. So while Sandel is expert at assembling worrisome examples and challenging readers to puzzle through their own intuitions and views about markets, he could have accomplished more.
First, Sandel could have conveyed a more sophisticated view about markets. Not all markets and marketplace exchanges are alike, or have the potential to corrupt valuable non-market norms. Take for instance the simple distinction, familiar to any reader of SSIR, between goods offered for sale by for-profit versus nonprofit organizations. Commodification looks different if the marketplace is populated by nonprofit organizations, but this distinction is lost in Sandel's undifferentiated treatment of markets.
Second, Sandel could have offered a more sophisticated framework for thinking about the limits of markets, a framework capable of delivering more guidance about where the limits are. It would not have been difficult to do so; a growing literature on this topic is inexcusably ignored by Sandel. Books by philosophers Elizabeth Anderson and Debra Satz or by economists Kenneth Arrow and Amartya Sen, among others, all provide a more sophisticated account of the limits of markets.
Sandel, however, is operating in public intellectual and provocateur mode: to raise important questions for public debate. What Money Can't Buy is neither original nor deep, but if it stimulates a wider public discussion about the emergence of a market society, it will have succeeded on its own terms.

For the last five years, emergency dispatcher and volunteer Sandy Hook firefighter Robert Nute has proved a calm, compassionate voice on the other end of frantic calls about everything from fires to choking children.
His demeanor is such that he has become a leader among the nine-member emergency dispatch team, officials said in an awards ceremony Wednesday in the municipal center.
On Dec. 14, two hours and 35 minutes into his 12-hour shift that starts at 7 a.m., Nute was forced to tap all his resources. He had to get police to the Sandy Hook Elementary School for an "active shooter" in the building.
The world now knows what unfolded in less than 5 minutes in that neighborhood school -- 20 first-graders and six of their educators killed in a 154-bullet shooting spree.
The first 911 call was the kick-start of a day that redefined life here and tested Nute's ability to multi-task, swallow his own emotions and save lives, officials said.
The gunman is now known to have been armed with multiple, high-power weapons and ammunition enough to do far more harm than he did, but he killed himself when he heard sirens just minutes after his rampage began.
Nute's top-notch performance on that day, as well as on other days he comes to work, was honored Wednesday afternoon in a ceremony attended by about 35 municipal and Police Department employees. He earned two standing ovations.
The 56-year-old father of two adult children and a 15-month-old grandson is the national winner of the second annual Smart911 Telecommunicator Awards, cited for "routinely inspiring peers and mentoring newer members of the Emergency Communications Center."
The center that routinely answers two or three 911 calls an hour was suddenly thrust into a "day of pain and chaos" during which Nute and his partner Jen Barocsi were fielding 150 calls an hour, said Smart911 Community Marketing Manager Jessica Olson.
First Selectman Pat Llodra recalled seeing Nute as he performed his duties on Dec. 14, and despite being "clearly distraught," doing what was required and demonstrating leadership for his colleagues amid an unimaginable tragedy, she said.
"Bob performs every day at an extremely high level," Llodra said, citing Nute as compassionate, calm, kind, clear and focused as he handles calls.
"He represents all that is the best in the dispatch center," Llodra said.
His nominator, Maureen Will, director of the town's emergency telecommunications center, said Nute's selection was not just for how he performed Dec. 14, but how he worked "before and after" that day.
In the department, Nute is a communications training officer and is an adjunct instructor of fire science at Naugatuck Valley Community College.
In her nomination letter, Will highlighted Nute's daily consistency, his life and fire service experience that enables him to be a mentor of fellow dispatchers.
"Bob's quiet demeanor and sharp wit have shown him in good stead as he was working the day of 12/14/12. I am proud to nominate him for this award as I would be of all my staff," Will said.
"We did our jobs," Nute said.

Brickhouse Brown, the self-proclaimed master of seduction, is back with the release of Brickhouse TV: A HighSpots Original, The Complete First Season.
At the end of the 2009 Brickhouse Brown shoot interview DVD, also from HighSpots, the "shoot interview sensation" claimed that he had only touched the surface, sharing tell-all stories of drugs and orgies. "I've got plenty more dirt to dish about some of the biggest names in the business," Brown promises at the end of the three-hour, profanity-laced shoot interview.
And Brickhouse Brown delivers. As HighSpots suggests: "We recommend that you do not have a drink in your hand while watching this, as you'll likely choke, spill, or throw it across the room -- you'll be laughing so hard!"
In the first of six episodes, Brown launches in with, "Why I'm not in the WWE," as he blames everyone from Johnny Ace and Jerry Lawler to Downtown Bruno and Steve Lombardi for, "sippin' on that hate-o-rade." Brown takes the viewer back to the late '80s, where it was proposed that he could sign with the WWF and work the gimmick of a Chippendale dancer, getting paid $200,000 a year. That is, until a named WWF vice-president sexually harassed him, according to Brown.
"I got strong constitution up here," Brown says, beating on his chest. "You get a raw deal if you didn't play the game." In one final diatribe to conclude Episode One, Brown questions what Johnny Ace ever did to earn his current executive role in WWE: "He was the flag bearer for the f---in' Sheepherders," laughs Brown, who uses effeminate gestures to insinuate that Sheepherders Luke and Butch were gay. "I wonder where that flag got stuck!"
Episode Two opens with Brown assuring his audience that "Anything I tell you is proof positive -- I'm telling the truth." Here, Brown speaks of his run as the Texas Heavyweight Champion in World Class Championship Wrestling, and how he "lost the belt in the shower while I was washing my ass!"
Ethnicity issues are the theme of this episode as Brown sheds light on some of the challenges he faced being a black wrestler in the '80s, specifically in World Class. Blaming Eric Embry for why the tag team of Brickhouse Brown and Iceman Parsons "didn't get the run we should have," Brown calls up Parsons on his cell phone to share some insight.
"There was no better black team out there," Parsons says over a barely audible cell phone connection, referring to their years in World Class, Memphis, and Japan. Brown and Parsons then collaborate to tell a story about a confrontation with Skandor Akbar after hearing him use the term "nigger-lover."
The highlight of this segment is hearing Brown talk about how he knocked out Sid Vicious one night in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. "That nigger don't know what he's doing," Sid apparently told Rikishi in a locker room. "Nobody better call me nigger to my face," Brown concludes.
Episode Three surprisingly begins with Brown speaking on the topic of Mick Foley's hygiene and his "reputation for not taking a bath." In a strange twist, Brown follows this by saying "we are still friends to this day."
Graphic stories of sex involving Mick Foley and a woman nicknamed Humbaby follow, as Brown gets creative with metaphors like "No curtain-jerkers here, let's get right to the main event."
In an abrupt and strange transition, Brown brings up the time he spent in the Portland territory working for Don Owen. What follows is a hilarious story involving "Playboy" Buddy Rose, cocaine, and a drug dealer -- a tragic-yet-comical highlight of the entire DVD. "Every guy in the territory was on dope," says Brown, who claims some of the best marijuana came from Portland, due to the oxygen-enriched climate. "Everyone has their vice. My drug of choice is a fine piece of ass," he boasts. "I couldn't get enough of them arena rats."
As another entertaining and insightful segment winds down, Brown revisits racial issues with a rant about Col. DeBeers (Ed Wiskoski). "He lived his f---in' character and was the same prejudiced f---ing ass behind the damn scenes," says Brown, leaning into the camera. "The mother------ would never put me over. F--- you Col. DeBeers!"
Brickhouse Brown is more subdued during Episode Four, when sharing his thoughts on TNA wrestling, and the current roles of Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan. "Hulk Hogan and I are pretty cool," says Brown, who makes it clear that he's looking for work. "I might have a chance with TNA now that Dutch Mantell is gone. I walked out on him when he was the booker in Memphis. Worst booker I ever had in my entire career," says Brown, who later gives Mantel credit for being "clever, slick and sly" and "turning the Puerto Rico territory on fire as a booker."
The interviewer gets Brown's opinions on Sting, the Steiners and Jeff Jarrett. Here, Brown re-tells the story, found on the 2009 shoot DVD, of how he "got Jeff his first piece of black p----. Do I get any thanks for it? Hell no!" referring to several failed attempts to find work in TNA. "Kurt Angle has jungle fever too," Brown says in another nugget of self-congratulatory wisdom. "Once you go black you can never go back."
This segment is particularly sexist and vulgar, as Brown opines on present-day women wrestlers including Melina and Mickie James. Digging up names from the past, Brown then speaks of Dark Journey, as he shares a cautionary tale involving Dick Slater and Bill Watts: "Don't bring your bitch into the business," Brown warns. "The boys are either gonna get her, or the promoter will.
"Bill Watts started f---ing Dark Journey, which ended Watts' marriage. He got the jungle fever," Brown adds with a laugh. "This is the same man who told me that I'd be a rich man if I got my brains out of my testicles!"
Fittingly, Episode Five is dedicated to "the first ladies of wrestling." Here Brown is at his most salacious, making repeated masturbation gestures throughout the segment, while referring to his "big glob of Vaseline."
Dishing dirt at length on Sunny, Missy Hyatt, Miss Jackie and Lady Maxine, Brown shares both his eyewitness accounts, along with his fantasies, in the utmost graphic detail. "You don't mind me, I get stupid sometimes," he admits, looking directly into the camera. A lengthy story follows about Woman (Nancy Benoit): "God bless the dead," says Brown, "But that p---- makes you go cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs."
And though no dirt is dished on Baby Doll, when the interviewer brings up the name, Brown responds with a laugh: "Baby Doll? She got to be old as dirt now!"
This segment wraps up with a humorous story about Robert Fuller, his valet Sylvia, and a drug dealer named Peaches, involving a cocaine debt and payback. Brown concludes, "I'm just like the mailman -- I'm gonna deliver the motherf---in' truth!"
In Episode Six, the season finale of Brickhouse TV, Brown is asked to share his thoughts on WWE's current wellness policy. "Everybody knows Randy Orton does drugs," Brown launches in, "But hell no, he's not going to be suspended because he's a big money maker. (If you are on the) B-team, they gonna get punished."
Reggie B. Fine then phones in as Brown introduces him as his ex-manager, and "the original pimp" of wrestling. The sound quality of the cellphone is poor, as Reggie B. Fine is barely audible. "Gimme some juice on some bitches," Brown requests of Fine. Some barely intelligible discussion of Miss Jackie being "country and turnip greens" follows, along with some ranting on Jerry Lawler. "A high-powered coward," Brown says of Lawler. "Brian Christopher? He lost his house, his wife, and is living with his grandmother," Brown and Fine concur.
Before their conversation comes to an end, Brown tells Fine: "The wrasslin' business ain't no fair. You can't be too good or too bad, 'cause they'll get rid of you."
The interviewer does a good job bringing Brown back to the wellness policy topic, as Brown speaks of how prevalent steroids and natural growth hormones are today, compared to the '80s. A story about George Wells smoking crack follows, as Brown delivers the message: "Crack is whack. Dope is dope when you do f---in' dope. I never let the dope take over me -- but the bitches did.
"I did more than my share," he admits, "but I don't glorify drugs. I sold to the boys. I sold to the Von Erichs. I made $400 a night off of Kerry alone. Kevin was good for about $300. Mike: $200, Chris: $200. Could you imagine the money I made off the Von Erichs?"
The final segment concludes with a revolting and graphic story that involves Brown, Junkyard Dog, Paul Orndorff, Tony Atlas and Adrian Adonis one night in a hotel room snorting lines of cocaine. "Adrian Adonis sh-- all over the whole room, lost his bowels because of the cocaine," says Brown, still disgusted after all these years. "'Guys, I can't stop!' Adonis is yelling. What the f--- were we supposed to do?"
Yes, Brickhouse TV delivers one jaw-dropping tale after another, uncensored -- and, for the most part, highly entertaining. That's why HighSpots has just released Brickhouse TV Season Two, boasting: "The FCC may have banned him, but we still let him cut loose on Highspots TV! He's so funny we couldn't get him on just one disc. So this time, it's double the trouble and twice as nice!"
Overall, Brickhouse TV Season One is 90 minutes of intriguing insight and entertainment as Brown is real, though often over the top in his lascivious delivery. The second season looks to be more of the same, as Brown shares insight on "Why Tito Santana hates him," and "How 'gay for pay' is the only way to superstardom in the world of professional wrestling."
"So if you like what you see," Brown suggests, "keep tuning in to Brickhouse TV."

Just finised my lessons with Kite Wind Surf (KWS) in Alameda and wanted to post my quick review. Bottom line: These guys are fantastic! Not only are they extremely knowledgeable regarding all of the gear and safety, they are incredibly passionate about the sport. I had my land lesson 2 weeks ago and my water lesson this past Saturday (I've been flying a trainer kite for a couple months now when I have time). In my opinion their program is the best in the area (I have done a ton of research). The jet ski supported lesson is the ONLY way to go. We were able to get real-time wind updates while on the ski and then go anywhere in the bay depending on the conditions. It was a light wind day at Alameda, but blowing 15 out at Treasure Island, so we cruised over there in no time. My lesson was around 4 hours and was an absolute blast. To top things off, you get $200 credit towards new gear if you take lessons through KWS. Check them out: www.kitewindsurf.com, you won't be disappointed.
*NOTE: Do yourself a favor and practice with a trainer kite BEFORE you show up to your lessons. At the end of the day (IMHO) it seems that the best kiteboarders are the best kite-flyers.

Cabrera homers twice, Indians down Athletics
Cleveland, OH – Asdrubal Cabrera cracked two of Cleveland's four home runs behind a strong outing from Ubaldo Jimenez as the Indians beat the Oakland Athletics, 7-3, Monday to start a four-game set at Progressive Field.
Jimenez (2-2) pitched 5 2/3 innings of two-run, four-hit baseball while striking out a season-high eight batters.
Jason Kipnis and Mark Reynolds also went yard for the Indians, winners in seven of their last eight. Michael Brantley and Jason Giambi each had two hits while Giambi contributed two RBI.
"We got some guys with some pop," Reynolds said. "We're just going out there and having fun."
Yoenis Cespedes hit his sixth home run of the year for Oakland while Brandon Moss had two hits and a run scored. Jarrod Parker (1-5) fanned seven but allowed four runs, all on solo homers, and seven hits.
"(Parker) just got some balls up," manager Bob Melvin said. "They had good swings on them and hit them out of the ballpark."
Kipnis and Cabrera went back-to-back in the first inning off Parker to provide the Tribe an early cushion. Parker then pegged Reynolds on the back but settled down and struck out Carlos Santana looking to end the inning.
Cespedes' solo dinger in the fourth inning cut Oakland's deficit in half, at least for the time being.
One inning later, Cabrera and Reynolds ripped home runs around a Nick Swisher strikeout. Parker struck out the side in what was ultimately his final inning on the hill.
Jimenez allowed just three baserunners through the first five but got into trouble in the sixth after putting runners on the corners with no outs. The A's got one run across the plate on a Cespedes sacrifice fly to right before recently recalled Nick Hagadone took over for Jimenez with two down and got out of a bases loaded jam by striking out Josh Reddick on three pitches.
Giambi delivered a single up the gut with the bases juiced in the bottom of the seventh off Chris Resop to put two insurance runs across for the Tribe. Ryan Raburn followed with an RBI double of his own, giving him 100 two-baggers for his career.
Josh Donaldson plated Moss with a single to right in the top of the eighth to round out the scoring.
Game Notes
Jimenez reached 1,000 strikeouts for his career when he fanned Derek Norris in the third inning ... This was Cabrera's third multi-home run game of his career ... Both teams were a combined 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position before Giambi's single.

Today's troubleshooters use many tools, from simple handheld meters that measure resistance and voltage to sophisticated recording oscilloscopes that capture fast transients.
Ever watch veteran electrical troubleshooters in action? If not, you should: It'ssomething to see. Years of experience coupled with intelligent "hunches" seem to guide their investigation. To help you in your troubleshooting efforts, we've compiled the following tips to solving motor control, power distribution, and adjustable speed drive problems.
Testing contact quality on energized motor starters. Typically, you must get a "failed" motor to run again as soon as possible. Obviously, you're under pressure and must use all the troubleshooting techniques you've acquired over the years. One tried-and-true technique involves testing contact quality on energized starters.
To understand this method, consider a typical manual or magnetic motor starter having three sets of power contacts and three overload (OL) relays. When a starter energizes a motor, equal currents (theoretically) flow through each contact and OL relay. So, you can measure the voltage drops across the contact or OL relay poles and compare them with one another. How do you do it? First, connect your multimeter's lead set to the correct input terminals and set it to read AC millivolts (mV). With the starter energized, begin with the lefthand pole and place one probe's tip on the line-side terminal. Then, carefully position the other tip on the corresponding load-side terminal, but electrically upstream of the OL relay. Then, note the reading. Repeat this process for the other terminals and compare the results. For each reading, try to place the test lead probes in the same relative position at each contact and OL relay.
You can apply this online millivolt-drop test to contactors serving other loads too. With a little experience, you can measure the voltage drop on a cable termination. Where there's a small amount of exposed bare conductor on the cable, place one probe on a strand and the other on the corresponding lug or bus bar. You shouldn't use this procedure to establish a precise benchmark, substitute as a preventive maintenance program, or replace current-injection OL relay testing or thermographic surveying. It only provides a basic check for use in breakdown troubleshooting situations.
Suppose you do the testing as indicated above on a magnetic starter and get the readings shown in the Table (in the original article). Reviewing these readings, you would see those of the OL relays are nearly the same. However, the starter contact reading for Phase C is significantly higher than the others. This may be the result of an internal problem such as excessive wear, loose hardware, or poor contact pressure.
By taking phase current readings and using Ohm's Law, you can calculate and compare the respective contact resistance values (technically, impedance). With the resultant high-resistance value for Phase C, this condition (if left as is) can cause high heating and eventual starter failure. The result will be unannounced downtime. Remember, even though you're making a fraction-of-a-volt measurement, you're connecting your meter to points energized by line voltage. Therefore, follow these safety guidelines:
• Use only a test instrument having internal protection circuitry that prevents damage, should you inadvertently apply input terminals to line voltages while set at lower voltages.
• Use the utmost caution and exercise all required safety practices.
• Wear appropriate protective equipment such as safety glasses, rubber gloves, etc.
• Make sure you have good work-area lighting.
• Be well aware of the circuit voltage, available short-circuit current, immediate surroundings, working clearances, and the capabilities and limitations of your test instrument. Special thanks to Scott Falke, former High-Voltage Electrician at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, for this troubleshooting tip.
Troubleshooting control power transformers. Getting a process line back into operation can be stressful, considering the electrical components tied into the control system. Sometimes it's not the exotic sensor or mysterious black box (known as the PLC) that's the problem. The source can be as mundane as the ubiquitous control power transformer (CPT) in a motor control center.
Typical CPT problems include open circuits, partial shorts, complete shorts, and grounded windings. First, you should check the primary of the CPT to verify you have power.
Partial shorts. Sometimes, a partial short occurs in the CPT's secondary, causing a voltage drop. Overheating of the CPT is the usual symptom because large circulating currents are flowing through the shorted windings.
Troubleshooting here involves a sequence of steps. First, verify line power is available by taking a voltage reading at the CPT's primary. Then take a reading at the secondary. If the readings are somewhat lower than normal, suspect a partial short.
Another method is to use a sensitive ohmmeter with the CPT's leads disconnected and the system de-energized. Here, a lower-than-normal resistance reading indicates a partial short. However, the difference in resistance from normal will be very slight.
Complete shorts. Sometimes a CPT's winding shorts out, activating a circuit breaker or fuse to protect the circuit by de-energizing it. However, there may be instances where the CPT continues to operate, resulting in excessive overheating (due to very large circulating current) and melting of CPT winding insulation. The most apparent symptom is a strong odor. Another is no voltage output across the shorted winding. But be careful: The short may be in the external secondary circuit and not the CPT's winding.
The best way to find the location is to disconnect the external secondary circuit from the CPT and take a voltage reading at the CPT's secondary. If the voltage is normal, the problem is in the external secondary circuit. If the voltage is zero across the secondary leads, the CPT is shorted and needs replaced.
Grounded windings. In older transformers, especially overloaded units, insulation breakdown is common. Here, the insulation physically breaks down or deteriorates to the point where the winding's bare wire exposes. If the exposed wire comes in contact with a grounded surface (such as the CPT housing), the CPT shorts to ground.
Should the above condition develop, and a point in the external secondary circuit also becomes grounded, part of the CPT winding will be shorted out. Here, the symptoms are overheating, which you can detect by touch or smell. You can also detect this by a low-voltage reading at the CPT's secondary. The only alternative here is to replace the damaged CPT.
The best method for detecting this condition is to use a megohmmeter. First, disconnect the leads from the CPT's primary and secondary windings. Then, connect the megohmmeter's negative test lead to an associated ground and its positive test lead to the winding you're testing. Record the reading. Finally, take an insulation resistance reading between the windings by connecting one test lead to the primary and the other to the secondary.
Diagnosing ASD "trip" problems. Repeated "tripping out" (shutdown) of an installed adjustable speed drive (ASD) is not only an annoying and elusive problem, but an expensive one when manufacturing or production processes stop.
While altering the trip levels of the ASD is tempting (and in some cases economically justifiable), it's not a long-term solution. Repetitive tripping of a drive may be a warning sign complete failure is not far off.
Most modern ASDs monitor many different fault conditions that can trip the drive. Use these parameters as a guide: DC bus overvoltage; DC bus undervoltage; current overload; and ground fault protection relay tripping.
DC bus overvoltage faults. Line transients from the AC source are a common cause of an overvoltage fault. (See Fig. 1, in the original article) The best way to discover the cause of this is to connect a voltage recorder to the AC line inputs and time-stamp the transient event. If the transient events are greater than 2 p.u. (per unit) and less than 0.5 cycle duration, it's likely they're caused by lightning, utility switching (transformer taps, kVAR capacitors), load switching within the building, or some power line fault clearing event.
If you can correlate the transients to a regular utility switching event, contact the utility. It's possible the utility is unaware of the effect it's having on customers. It may even be willing to modify practices or install equipment to minimize such effects. If you can't determine the source of the transient event, then you should install a surge protection device at the service entrance to the building.
For shorter magnitude, longer duration transients, which are classified as swells (1.3 p.u. to 2.0 p.u. and 0.5 cycles to 30 cycles), it's possible an isolation transformer or series line reactor will take care of the instantaneous overvoltage. An isolation transformer will also reduce common mode noise from the ASD. Swells longer than one or two cycles may require some additional voltage regulation like an uninterruptable power supply (UPS). Be careful though: Not all UPS systems can regulate overvoltages.
A longer duration overvoltage lasting greater than 30 cycles is a less common fault affecting ASDs. It occurs when the local utility is slow to respond and compensate for large loads from industrial and commercial customers being switched off, such as at the end of a work shift. The problem is fairly easy to detect with a recording power line monitor. If you can't resolve the problem with the local utility, then a UPS designed to compensate for overvoltages may be the answer.
If line voltage monitoring doesn't record a transient or swell associated with the overvoltage fault, it's possible the increased energy at the DC bus is coming from the load side of the inverter, not the line side. We call this motor regeneration. One problem with elevators and large centrifugal loads, regeneration occurs when the motor is "coasting" and changes from being a motor to a generator.
You can detect regeneration by looking at a change in direction of the DC current level, as measured at the output side of the DC bus. A simultaneous measurement of the DC voltage will confirm current flowing back into the DC bus is causing the overvoltage. Installing a dynamic brake is the most common way to solve this problem. If you've already done this, check the resistance measurements according to the manufacturer's specifications. If it's a solid-state type, check the transistors for proper conduction, using the diode test function on your multimeter. It's also possible the dynamic braking is too excessive, stopping the motor too suddenly. If your drive permits, lengthen the deceleration time to minimize the regenerative effect.
One final word about overvoltage transients: Inadequate building grounds can cause transients to propagate through a distribution system at magnitudes greater than normal. This might explain why one building is having more problems than adjacent ones.
DC bus undervoltage faults. Your best bet in detecting ASD undervoltage faults is to use a recording line voltage monitor. Because most ASDs have enough "ride through" to handle short duration (less than 0.5 cycle) sags or dropouts, you don't need to detect fast undervoltage events. While this makes the problem easier to detect, fixing it is more difficult due to large current surges caused by large loads either inside or outside your building. (See Fig. 2, in the original article.) In either case, you'll probably need voltage regulation like that from a UPS.
Another possible cause for undervoltage is when the line voltage supply has "flat-topped" peaks. (See Fig. 3, in the original article.) This happens when you have other large electronic loads in the building. Because all electronic loads convert from AC to DC, the AC-to-DC conversion is responsible for almost all nonlinear (harmonic generating) currents that cause flat-topping. Basically, all electronic loads draw a short burst of current at the voltage peaks. (See Figs. 4 and 5, in the original article.) If the AC source is weak (either the transformer kVA is too low, or the conductors are too small or too long), then the peak currents flatten the peak of the voltage waveform. This reduces the charge on the DC bus capacitor, which presents a problem when someone switches another large load on in the building. As a result, the voltage peak drops further, the capacitor charge becomes even lower than it was due to flat-topping, and the DC bus voltage drops below the trip point. About the only way to recognize this problem is with an oscilloscope or power monitor that can display the voltage waveform.
Current overload faults. While there are several different causes of overload tripping with ASDs, some are easier to find than others. First, make sure there's a proper match between the motor and drive. While this may seem obvious, the actual motor is sometimes different than the original specification due to cost and/or size concerns. Also, make sure the motor is sized properly for the load. Measure the motor current on all three phases and check against the nameplate rating to be sure.
Another overload consideration is whether the load has changed. Sometimes an equipment operator increases the demand of a load without knowing the consequences. What's more, the ASD may not be programmed properly. If the acceleration time decreases, or trip points change, this could account for overload tripping.
You should also make sure the ambient air temperature at the ASD installation is within specified operating temperatures. An increase in environmental temperatures can cause component failure and/or higher-than-normal conduction of components.
An open phase connection can also cause an overload condition known as single phasing. Basically, the other two phase windings in the motor have significantly increased current, and the motor keeps running. If this is the case, the drive will probably trip when you restart it. Open circuits are sometimes difficult to find because wiring is not always easily accessible. The best way to check for single phasing is to measure the in-rush (acceleration) current on all three phases. The one with no in-rush current is the culprit.
Voltage imbalance between phases at the motor terminals can cause excessive current to flow in one or two motor windings. This, in turn, can cause the overload to trip. It could be due to a problem with one of the output transistors in the drive not conducting properly, or a bad connection between the drive and motor, resulting in a voltage drop on one of the phases.
Shorted windings can also cause an overload condition. However, because the ASD may trip and shutdown before you can take a visual reading, you should use a DMM or oscilloscope capable of measuring and recording the peak in-rush (acceleration) current. Make this measurement on all three phases to see if a shorted winding in one of the phases is causing more current to flow in it than the others. Be careful though: A voltage imbalance may be the cause of any current variations between phases. This means you may have to disconnect the drive and motor and test them separately.
If you exceed the overload current on each phase, and it's beyond the nameplate rating of the motor, you may need to investigate whether you're exceeding the mechanical load connected to the motor for the application.
Ground fault protection relay tripping. The fast edged pulses of a pulse width modulation (PWM) drive may cause leakage currents to flow between the motor windings and the grounded motor frame through the capacitor created by the metal windings, winding insulation, and metal frame. With normal 60 Hz sine wave operational, this isn't a problem. However, the high switching frequency of the PWM signal reduces the motor's internal capacitive reactance, causing greater amounts of leakage currents to flow. This can cause nuisance tripping of the drive, as many GFP relays trip at 300mA or less.
Measuring this phenomenon can be difficult, as it may require isolating the motor frame from ground and then reestablishing a connection to ground via a cable that allows you to take ground current measurements.
To reduce leakage currents, use a common-mode choke and dampening resistor or special cabling that employs either EMI suppression, low-pass filtering, or ferrite granule coating that absorbs the radio frequency (RF) energy and turns it into heat. Isolation transformers also minimize common-mode leakage currents, but may not be a cost-effective solution unless you're using them to solve other problems.

Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said Thursday he didn't understand the discrepancy in the NFL's fine system, considering the vastly different amounts from a pair of hits he saw firsthand.
Phillips said he didn't get that Texans linebacker Tim Dobbins was fined three times as much as Jets guard Matt Slauson was for a cut block which ended the season of Texans linebacker Brian Cushing.
"I don't understand the fine system when Cushing gets put out for the season on an illegal play — I know Dobbins hit the guy," Phillips said, via Tania Ganguli of the Houston Chronicle. "I understand that. It's his first offense. [Matt] Schaub got hit way worse than that in the ballgame. . . .
"I just don't see the fairness in all of it. It's only defensive players basically. If a linebacker gets put out for the season, it's 10,000 dollars, but it's 30,000 if the quarterback gets hit."
Phillips also pointed out that because Cutler continued to play, it was hard to pinpoint that Dobbins' hit caused his concussion.
"And, the guy made an 11-yard run the next play and tried to run over our defensive back and then he played the next series and had a 19-yard run in that series. When did he get a concussion? You can't say he got it then for sure," Phillips said. "
"When he's throwing the ball, you still have to be careful. You can't determine if he's one yard or two yards across the line of scrimmage. . . . If he's in a throwing motion, we've got to be careful. I'm not saying the guy shouldn't be fined, I'm just saying I don't understand the fine system. Because it's on national TV and the Chicago quarterback got a concussion, now it's a big fine."
In a roundabout way, Phillips was echoing the sentiments of Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher earlier in the day, who said cut blocks such as the one that ended Cushing's season are as big a deal as concussions.
But what both also have to know is that there aren't nearly 4,000 players suing the league for cut block-related health problems right now.

The Washington Post reports that at a recent White House reception for freshmen members of Congress, Senator-elect James Webb tried to avoid President Bush. He declined to stand in a presidential receiving line or to have his picture taken with the president. Eventually, however, Bush found him and asked him how his son, a Marine, was doing. Webb responded, "I'd like to get them out of Iraq, Mr. President." Bush said, "That's not what I asked you; how's your boy?" According to the Post, Webb "coldly" replied "That's between me and my boy, Mr. President."
Webb seems to get off on disrespecting presidents. In 1997, he said:
I cannot conjure up an ounce of respect for Bill Clinton when it comes to the military. Every time I see him salute a Marine, it infuriates me. I don't think Bill Clinton cares one iota about what happens in a military unit.
However, when Webb needed Clinton's help, he brought the man whose administration he had called "the most corrupt in modern memory" to help him raise funds. Webb explained his about face by claiming that 9/11 had wiped the slate clean.
Thus, if Bush cared, he could take solace in the knowledge that if the wind changes, so too will the attitude of the erratic opportunist from Virginia.

Scribblenauts is quite an achievement in itself and requires the user to think in order to solve puzzles and move through the game, in a sense that you write down an object needed in order to unlock other levels. Your imagination is put to a real test with Scibblenauts. Touch screen controls which are easy to get the hang of.

Scribblenauts (Nintendo DS) Review: Living Up to Expectations Despite the Frustrations.
Are you intrigued by the thought of having a puzzle game that gives the player the ability to conjure up any object they can think of? Well, that's exactly what Scribblenauts guarantee their gamers. It is one of the rarest games Nintendo DS ever have. This game is incredibly stunning!
The concept of this game actually stirs up skepticism. You might think it is quite impossible to begin with. Scribblenauts is a 2D side-scrolling platform-like encounter. The whole idea is to use any item or material in the real world to solve a given situation in the game. The creators encourage players to invoke anything by writing it on the screen. However, you cannot use words that are vulgar and inappropriate for the game. Also, you cannot utilize words with trademarks, such as Superman, Batman, and other similar terms. No matter how vast a vocabulary you have, there are limitations to this game. As long as you type objects that are applicable and acceptable, you can make it exist in the game.
One of the most fantastic aspects of this game is that the items you have evoked take on their own distinct characteristics and behaviors. For example, if you conjure up a car, you can ride on it; if it is food, it can be eaten; and if it is a weapon it can be used to attack enemies, and so on. However, the big BUT is the player can only make use of all these conjured up objects through Maxwell, the game's player-controlled protagonist. You have to tell Maxwell everything. If you want to dig a hole, give the shovel to Maxwell and tell him to begin digging. If you want to drive around, tell Maxwell to jump in the car and start the engine. Get the drift?
Now, you would think controlling Maxwell is a piece of cake. Sure, if you use the D-pad and buttons. And this is where the first frustration sets in. The thing is you have to use taps on the control screen to control the little fellow. It is so much like those RTS games where the troops tend to do things on their own, even after you tell them what to do. It can be real confusing and frustrating when Maxwell can't seem to get things right!
You thought that this game is all about absurdity? Well, think again! This game implements a physics engine. If you have dropped multiple objects at the same time, and you find yourself losing sight of what happens next, you can either stack up all those items or throw them around in the surroundings.
After a well executed tutorial, you can start solving dozens and dozens of problems. The first part is pretty much basic. However, as each level is raised, the difficulty is also amplified; which implies the need to think seriously and logically.
The reason behind making it as 2D is probably to preserve the player's sanity and to fit all software into the DS cartridge. It does not only have its own unique concept on how to play the game; it also has its own unique graphic designs. Nintendo supports the Wi-Fi Connection. You can download new creations and upgrades through the Internet. If you want to pass that kind of method, you can still trade levels in the game without even using the internet.
As an interactive toy, the game is enormously fun despite the cumbersome controls. It's like a sandbox for players who enjoy mucking around outside the normal realms. The puzzles can be very challenging and can even encourage some outlandish thought processes. It's not far off to think that this franchise may soon have a sequel. Hopefully, when that happens, Maxwell gets a control upgrade, too.

Happy Saturday everyone! If you've arrived here from the Sizzix blog – welcome! I've got a fun project to share with you today featuring one of Eileen Hull's Scoreboards Dies from Sizzix. For my project, I used the Index Card Folder die and a few other dies from Eileen's Sweet Treats line.
Because I love pop-ups, I decided to add one of those too! The Scallop Circle die fits perfectly inside the Index Card die. I just had to make an second crease on the main scallop part along the fold of the Index Card die to make it work.
To get a perfect fit for my paper onto the finished Index Card Folder die cut, I used a spray adhesive on the mat board, added my paper, and then ran everything through my Big Shot with the die. No trimming! It' fits perfect thanks to the die.
I had some circle velcro tabs in my stash and decided to use them as the closure. The label that "happy day" is stamped on is from the Sizzix Labels & Buttons die.
The pretty flowers are from the Sizzix Borders & Hydrangeas die. I made a valley fold in all the petals and layered large ones with smaller pedals and secured them together with a brad.
I'd never used a Scoreboard die before, it was a lot of fun! The possibilities of what you can do with them are endless and Eileen's made quite a few to choose from.
Supplies for this project:

"I knew our men had a really good chance to win this invitational and I'm very happy we did," said Lipscomb cross country coach Bill Taylor. " It's a gigantic day for our program and another message about where Lipscomb Cross Country and Track & Field are headed.
The Bisons battled a wet course and drizzling rain to win their first ever first place in a cross country event under coach Bill Taylor. There were 16 teams entered.
"It is literally historic for this program. At the same time we have a lot of work to do. By no means did we run great today. There is a ton of room for improvement. "
It was the first race of the season for Chastain, the leader of the team. He finished sixth overall with a time of 26:54.07 over the 8-K course. Freshman Tim Muller also finished in the top 10. He was 10th in a time of 27:02.74.
"Ryan Chastain ran and gutted it out in his first race of the year despite being sick," said Taylor. " He didn't look great, but he ran hard. Our freshmen dealt with their first ever 8-K incredibly and will get a lot better."
The race was a challenge for the freshmen Bisons who were facing an 8-K distance for the first time. Ashton Fisher was 17th with a time of 27:14.77. Isaiah Greer was 30th with time of 27:39.49 and Jeff Musick was 31st with a 27:47.59 time.
"Tim Muller and Ashton Fisher are very special runners and are showing the desire and competitiveness that champions must have," said Taylor. "Freshmen Isaiah Greer and Jeff Musick are running strong and are close to taking a big step forward ."
A couple of veteran runners, Jared Carlson and Benton Reed, are also showing signs of moving into the top places in terms of finishes. Carlson was 21st with a 27:22.18 finish. Reed was 29th with a 27:38.28.
"Jared Carlson has improved so much over the three years I've been here," said Taylor. "Benton Reed is getting closer and closer to the level he was at last year when he was our No. 2-No. 3 runner."
Taylor is dealing with the deepest talent pool he has ever had with the men's team.
"We've got other guys that are hovering back just a bit that can be up with the top group at any time," said Taylor. "We can run so much better though and I believe we are going to be tons better by the end of the season."
The Lady Bisons placed fifth in a field of 17 teams. Caitlin Anderson was the top finisher for the Lady Bisons She was 18th on the 5-K course with a time of 19:34.93.
Rounding out the top five finishers for the Lady Bisons were Shelby Marvel (22nd, 19:43.79); Catherine Beals (29th, 19:58.31); Jenny Randolph (31st, 20:01.63) and Louisa Van Batavia (34th, 20:07.23).
"The women ran O.K.," said Taylor. "It is obvious to me that they miss the presence of Carolyn Latham, our top runner the past two years. She developed into a very aggressive runner and it really set the tone for the whole team.
"Our women's team has a ton of talent, but they look kind of lost right now. Belief must overcome doubt. Desire must overcome fear. They are such a nice and supportive team, but I am waiting for them to also get that fire that is essential for success. They aren't far away, they just need someone to step up and set the tone on the course."
A large crowd of supporters, including many athletes and members of the athletics department staff, were on hand for the meet. A free pancake breakfast was served by the Student Government Association/Student Involvement.

The Greater Columbus Infant Mortality Task Force will convene for the first time Jan. 31.
The Greater Columbus Infant Mortality Task Force will convene for the first time Jan. 31.
The general public is invited to attend the inaugural meeting, slated for 9:30 a.m. at Columbus Public Health, 240 Parsons Ave.
Among the speakers will be Magda Peck, professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and founding dean of the school's Joseph J. Zilber School of Public Health.
Also speaking will be Michael Fiorile, president and CEO of The Dispatch Printing Co., and Donna James, managing director of Lardon and Associates, who co-chair a task force charged with reducing the rate of infant mortality in Columbus by 40 percent and cutting the racial disparity in half.
"Clearly, infant mortality is a crisis in our community," said Jose Rodriguez, spokesman for Columbus Public Health. "More than three babies a week are lost in our region.
"And we know that many of these deaths are preventable, so that is the motivation behind the task force, to find solutions. Consider our rate of infant mortality is twice that of New York City."
Rodriguez said the task force will meet once a month and will submit draft recommendations sometime this summer.
The task force was formed last year by Andy Ginther, president of Columbus City Council, and Theresa Long, Columbus Public Health commissioner. Its members include more than 20 people representing the medical field, business, community and local government.
"We have an amazing, talented team that has taken on this issue," Rodriguez said.
The issue has been on the minds of state officials, too, as Ohio ranks 48th of 50 states in the nation in infant mortality.
The Ohio Department of Health established the Ohio Collaborative to Prevent Infant Mortality in 2010 and has since "brought together partners from across the state to not only recognize the challenge but to bring to the table solutions as well," said Tessie Pollock, spokeswoman for the health department.
The Ohio Department of Health also has dedicated more than $6 million in 2014-15 for such things as prenatal smoking-cessation programs, more comprehensive newborn health screenings and outreach efforts to areas struggling with infant mortality rates.
"The Ohio Department of Health has made infant mortality one of our four strategic priorities," Dr. Ted Wymyslo, director for the Ohio Department of Health, said in a prepared statement.
"These babies should and could live to see their first birthday, if given a chance at success. We are working to prevent infant mortality by focusing on safe sleep environments, preventing prematurity and creating system changes in healthcare so that babies and mothers are healthy before, during and after pregnancy."

The Arcona 400 has been the most popular boat in the Arcona range since her introduction at the Stockholm Boat Show in 2001, where she was she was awarded Boat of the Year. With stunning modern looks, technically-advanced construction, and performance to die for, she optimises cruising and racing and is easily sailed by a short-handed crew.
Structurally, Arconas are built to withstand the toughest of sea conditions. At the heart of their build lies a substantial galvanised steel cross frame to which the mast, rigging, and keel are firmly attached. This cradle takes all the dynamic loads on the hull, which can consequently be made lighter to improve her performance under sail.
The hull and decks are made from 20mm-thick Divinycell foam, sandwiched between a tough water resistant multi-axial polyester laminate. The bulk heads and interior are laminated to the hull and deck to give additional strength and rigidity.
The level of craftsmanship throughout reflects our Swedish roots. Below decks the Arcona 400 offers: beautiful Khaya Mahogany varnished to a high satin finish, a high level of interior comfort, a spacious and bright saloon, different cabin layouts, a well-fitted galley, generous chart table, and a heads compartment with a shower and wet-clothes locker.
Designed for family living despite her racing credentials, the Arcona 400 offers 2 or 3 cabin versions and 1 or 2 toilets.
In summary, she is an all-round winner, blending together enviable speed, ease of handling, and total comfort. Indeed the Arcona 400 effectively sums up what the Arcona experience is all about.

He came in, frantic, and told me to call 911--his hands were full of blood. It was horrible. Horrible.
He was flipping a piece of wood on the table saw and brushed his index finger on the blade, and it grabbed the rest of his fingers. Thank God, it's a miracle - he didn't lose any fingers, but they are really, really mangled.
He's so, so careful when he's working - just an instant changes everything, so please be careful.
Anyway, I'm just not in much of a mood to talk about projects right now, so it may be a couple days before you hear from me or I'm able to respond to comments. I apologize.
I really, really appreciate every single one of you. Take care of yourselves.

Football isn't for everyone. But you know what is for everyone? Hugs.
Hugby is a two-player android game where two teams of teddy bears play a game of football. Each player draws routes for their bears to run, then the two teams run their plays. If two bears touch, they hug instead of tackle. Take a look at the gameplay:
Developer Tom Sennett says:
Inspired by games like Hokra, Hugby is an attempt to distill American football into a format that is appealing and accessible to players who otherwise wouldn't be interested.
You can pick up Hugby on the Google Play store here.
