L293/SN754410 h-bridge schmatic

January 31, 2011
I am a technology education teacher who teaches an industrial design course. This previous year we used the L293D chip to make a motor shield that works withe Arduino. The schematic that i was using works very well with the L293D chip but will not work with the L293 or the SN754410. Attached is a schematic of my motor shield with diode protection. i hope the diodes allow me to use the L293 and the SN754410. If any one is familiar with this sort of motor shield i would love to have my schematic looked over and any possible suggestions made.
I did post this on the Arduino forum, but i thought it my be more usefully on here.
My 2 Bits
Since on this small scale high-side, low side, and regenerative braking are not worthwhile it's nice to only have 2 bits (Direction & PWM) per motor. I also never like the possibility of shoot-through. This is if pin 2 and 7 go high it will by-pass the motor and probably fry the chip.
I got a couple of these chips and was going to make a small PCB like this:
Just my 2 cents bits
shoot-through on H-bridge drivers
I just wanted to clarify that shoot-through refers to both the high side switch and low side switch on the same half of an h-bridge being turned on at the same time.
Your post says "This is if pin 2 and 7 go high it will by-pass the motor and probably fry the chip."
Actually, pin 2 controls the high and low side switches on one half of the H-bridge, and pin 7 controls the high and low side switches on the other half of the H-bridge. So applying a logic high to both pins 2 and 7 at the same time will connect both sides of the motor to the positive supply voltage. If the motor was stopped at the time you raise pins 2 and 7 high, nothing will happen. The chip will not be damaged. It is wise to inhibit the outputs (pin 1 = ground) any time you are changing pin 2 or pin 7.
all your logic will be fine
all your logic will be fine running on the Arduino's 5V. That's how it Should be. Vcc2 is motor power only. Make sure you have a good ground connection between the Arduino and the motor controller. You should have one ground for everything.
ESD protection diodes are in
ESD protection diodes are in the SN754410 but snubber/kickback protection diodes are not. The difference is not completely apparent to me either, but all the application schematics in the datasheets show additional diodes added and I`m not one to argue with the guys who made the chip.
Diverging off topic...
but I think the diodes to protect against ESD are snubber diodes. But I see what you're saying about the app notes:
That bank of diodes says to me it's a "naked" chip too. I (take my shortsightedness as you will) never got that far in the datasheet lol. I only made it to this diagram:
... and had favorited this seemingly knowledgable post at AVRfreaks...
"The short answer is you don't need to add diodes, The long answer is, if you look at page 2 of the TI data sheet, the diagram that says "typical of all outputs", you'll see TI has thoughtfully provided the chip with its own built-in back EMF protection diodes to the right of the transistors. On page 4 the parameters "Vokh" and "Vokl" are the characteristics of these diodes, showing that the back EMF will never go more than 2.5V beyond the supply rails at a current of 1 amp. You can be sure 1A is not a maximum - these diodes will be rated for at least the maximum output current of the chip."
Diodes in parallel to the power supply, it looks good to me. Either way I'll be testing it soon. I need some more drivers for my smaller upcoming bots and I feel stingy with my diodes :) I'll be sure to post if blue smoke rises.
I have used the SN754410
I have used the SN754410 without additional diodes with no problems. Gareth's "Picaxxo" uses the chip without external diodes. The only time I would bother with external diodes is if you were driving something like a 24V motor as the chip is rated up to 36V. For little bots running on 12V and less I think your wasting diodes and PCB space.

Congrats to former Three Days Grace frontman Adam Gontier, who just revealed his engagement on his Facebook page.
In the 10 days or so since the announcement of Three Days Grace's split with frontman Adam Gontier, more and more details have surfaced about their parting of the ways. Gontier is the latest to unveil more about his exit from the band, stating that it was more of creative decision, but also reiterating that he does have health issues.
The recent exit of Three Days Grace singer Adam Gontier from the group shocked many in the music industry, but probably no one more than the rest of his bandmates. After offering a very brief statement on Gontier's exit and revealing that My Darkest Days frontman Matt Walst would be filling in on their upcoming tour with Shinedown, more and more details have begun to leak out.
As Three Days Grace fans continue to absorb the surprising news from earlier today (Jan. 9) that frontman Adam Gontier has left the band, the singer himself has released a heartfelt letter explaining his departure.
Singer Adam Gontier is officially out of Three Days Grace, but Matt Walst of My Darkest Days is stepping in. Hear how he sounds with the band and get details here.

Sprint Nextel sues over sale of call records

Sprint Nextel sues wireless data brokersJanuary 30, 2006
T-Mobile customers get temporary protectionJanuary 25, 2006
Protecting cell phone users' privacyJanuary 20, 2006
On Monday, the mobile operator filed a suit in Dade County, Fla., against All Star Investigations (ASI), a company believed to own and operate Web sites including OnlinePI.com, AllStarInvestigations.com, DetectivesUSA.com, MiamiProtection.com and PrivateDetectivesUSA.com. Sprint claims that these sites have fraudulently obtained and sold private billing records of its customers.
This is the second lawsuit Sprint has filed against a company it said is selling customer cell phone records online. On Friday, it filed a lawsuit against First Source Information Specialists, parent company of Locatecell.com, Datafind.org and others. In both suits, Sprint is asking the court to impose both temporary and permanent injunctions against these companies.
"The schemes perpetrated by these online data brokers are intolerable, and our intent is to put an end to these practices," Kent Nakamura, vice president for telecom management and chief privacy officer for Sprint Nextel, said in a statement. "These online data brokers attempt to manipulate our customer service resources and detract from service provided to legitimate customers."
A spokesman for the company said Sprint Nextel is continuing a full-scale investigation into other companies, but for now, it does not plan to file any additional lawsuits.
The companies being sued could not be reached for this story.
Sprint's lawsuits are the latest in a series of legal actions by cell phone carriers. Cingular Wireless, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile have also filed lawsuits against companies that own Web sites selling customer information. T-Mobile and Cingular have each won temporary restraining orders against First Source Information Specialists.
The recent lawsuits have prompted U.S. lawmakers, state attorneys general and the Federal Communications Commission to look more closely at the collection of consumer data.
The House Committee on Energy and Commerce scheduled a hearing on the issue for Wednesday, and the Senate Commerce Committee plans to hold a hearing on Feb. 8, the panels announced Friday. Lawmakers on both committees are drafting legislation.
Lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate have proposed new legislation to criminalize the activity of fraudulently obtaining customer information.

- Who owns your phone number?
- Now that they have made it the law that you can take your cellphone number with you to another provider, I say the consumer should own their number(s) until they give their number up by canceling or non payment to their cell phone provider. It is getting to dang easy for people to get your personal data and use it agenst you (identiy theft is just a drop in the bucket!)

- What about internal security?
- Okay, I have no problem with Sprint suing some of the bad guys, but the real cure to this problem, the thing that would have prevented it all in the first place, is for these companies to have sensible internal security procedures in place to begin with. Why would anyone need their cellphone records so badly that they can't wait to go online for a couple of minutes to fill out a form with discrete security questions that the harvesters can't hack easily, like they do with credit cards? And why would customer service reps. give out such information on the phone without similar security checks? This lawsuit looks like smokescreen from a company that doesn't want to be bothered to fix the real problem...

- Fraud is Fraud ...
- and I find it curious how it can be "legal" to obtain what is clearly sensitive personal data and resell it (what the purveyors of this data claim). From what Sprint, et al, are saying, it appears that people who have access to this data are selling it out the back door. On the other hand, the telcos may just be jealous that someone else figured out how to make money from this data before they did, or they managed to establish a "blind eye" way to sell the data without the public relations hassle. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that people in telcos have some financial interest in the data brokers, which are obviously high-speed/low-drag shell operations, with their major costs of operations being the price of a domain name and web servers capable of taking and filling orders for data via credit card. Whether they're telco executives and/or people with direct access to the data (dbadmins, sysadmins, netadmins, computer security people, etc.), hopefully they weren't smart enough to know how to hide their tracks by disabling/modifying security logging, sneaking copies of backup storage media out of facilities, etc. I doubt that it was done via duping customer service people, as it would take minutes to obtain the info on a single call, and these perps allegedly have access to pretty much any record of any cell phone call anyone has made.
In any case, who knows how much data is already out of the barn, and how long it's going to take just to find out where it all is, much less how to reprotect it, if even possible. I think I see a business opportunity in phone call forwarding proxies, similar to the old Web surfing proxies that allowed you to hide where you surfed, or the e-mail proxies that concealed where e-mail was actually sent from (all of which died in the wake of 9/11 and the subsequent taps the FBI and NSA mandated the ISPs and telcos install to allow for instantaneous tracking of Net traffic and phone calls).
All the Best, and I Know Who You Called Last Summer! ;)

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two women. Two knives. Two days. Two lives taken.
"A lot of people out here are just going crazy," Soncearae Dugan said.
Police say the women were the attackers, not the victims, in two deadly stabbings in Whitehaven.
"It seems like the women are doing the most of the crimes nowadays," Dugan said.
WREG was on the scene Memorial Day when a brawl broke out on Dianne Street.
According to police, Tequila Benton ran up and stabbed 23-year-old Stephen Wright to death.
"Usually its the guys who are committing the crimes so to hear a woman doing it it was a little bit strange," Dugan said.
It happened all over again on Tuesday night.
A man was found dead in his apartment building on Whitaker Drive, off Elvis Presley Boulevard.
Herman Tentort's son had no idea what happened.
"I just found out the news and I rushed down here," Jason Russell said. "I'm just like a kid in a candy store waiting to get some information or something."
In a release to local media Wednesday morning, police said the victim's girlfriend slashed him with a knife.
A man who works at the Dodge's Chicken in Whitehaven told WREG the woman rushed into the store, missing a finger and bleeding all over the place.
"You never know what the cause is," Barbra King said.
King is the executive director with the Exchange Club Family Center in Midtown.
"You know women put up with an awful lot – and men who are abused for a very long time – before they start that," King said.
Dugan said women need to put the knives down and stand together because it's not worth it.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsHow To Engine
Top Engine Swaps - Motivational Therapy
Exploring the possibilities and necessities of Mustang engine swaps
Coyote Into Fox/SN-95
Taking top billing on the Ford engine swap scene is the Coyote-to-Fox transformation and there's no mystery why. The engine is excellent and available, and the classic Fox chassis is many hundreds of pounds lighter than the bloated S197 the Coyote is naturally found in.
Coyote/Fox marriages are excellent performers, with a modern, revvy feel. There's no immediate need to hot rod the Coyote engine as it has 412-420 horsepower out of the box and plenty of torque (390 lb-ft) to move the sly Fox with authority. Choosing the SN-95 does mean adding around 150 to 200 pounds of extra weight, depending on the cars being compared, but it's still lighter than the S197 and a little stiffer in the chassis than a Fox.
Adding a power adder makes things better in a straight line, but for an all-around driver, we prefer to preserve the Coyote's light all-aluminum vibe in naturally aspirated form. But don't let our tastes stop you! A power-adder Coyote Fox sounds like mega-fun, too.
Three-Valve Into SN-95
If it weren't for the Coyote, the 300hp Three-Valve '05-'10 Three-Valve Mustang GT engine would be the hottest Ford swap going. This is still a great engine with far better performance than the ubiquitous Two-Valve fodder in '96-'04 Mustangs. It's lighter, more powerful and best of all, nearly a drop-in replacement for aging Two-Valve Mustang GTs.
Three-Valves are an especially good swap for the anemic '96-'98 Two-Valve GTs because the Three-Valve can add almost 100 hp to these under-powered Mustangs. Even the Performance Improved '99-'04 GT's gain about 40 hp with a Three-Valve replacement, which is a bump you can feel. And, if the budget allows, the Three-Valve is a great blower motor; you'll really enjoy the rowdy torque and top-end charge a simple positive-displacement supercharger puts into these engines. In our September 2009 issue we reported on the '10 GT Ford Racing built as a demonstrator with a Whipple and just 5 pounds of boost. With 400 hp, 400 lb-ft, and 3.73 gears it was a riot. More importantly, it's something the average enthusiast can aspire to—and build himself as paychecks allow.
When sourcing a Three-Valve, make sure you get a Mustang GT variant with an aluminum block, and not the iron block version from the Explorer and Explorer Sport Trac. In any case, Ford Racing doesn't carry these engines, so they are wrecking yard parts these days.
Today Logan Motorsports owns the Three-Valve swap market (see Do The Math, p. 91) with its complete swap kit at $1,499 in standard form or $1,899 with an SCT tune. Logan says '96-'98 owners need a $499 fuel-rail conversion kit, and because their kit does not support the Charge Motion Runner Control operation you can either buy CMRC delete plates or let Logan modify your CMRC plate for $100 on an exchange basis.
Another resource is Ron Francis Wiring (www.ronfrancis.com), which just released both full-car wiring kits and engine/transmission wiring harnesses for Three-Valves. These harnesses will set you back about $950 to $1,000 depending on the transmission, but they're a lifesaver if all you have is an engine and no donor car. They also have full Fox-chassis wiring harnesses.

Phoenix Suns
Suspension 'puts a little wrinkle' in Phoenix Suns' game plan vs. Cleveland
PHOENIX -- The Suns will unveil their sixth different starting lineup this season with Marcus Morris getting the start at small forward Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Yes, the change is out of necessity, but, no, it has nothing to do with the team's recent play. Phoenix has lost two straight and three of four overall.
The Suns are forced to make the rare change to their five-man unit after the NBA suspended P.J. Tucker for his role in the dust-up between him and Blake Griffin of the Clippers on Monday.
"It puts a little wrinkle in what we have to do, but guys have to step up and maybe win this one for P.J.," head coach Jeff Hornacek said.
Tucker has played and started all 60 games this season. However, he'll sit out game No. 61.
According to the league's release Tuesday, Tucker was suspended one game without pay for "elbowing (Griffin) in the chin" midway through the fourth quarter.
"The NBA has their ways of looking at things," Hornacek said. "When they see the elbow up high, I think, it's automatic. But I still think it wasn't even a foul on him. A guy takes you down to the ground; it's a natural reaction to get the guy off you. It's unfortunate that we got penalized for it."
Tucker was unavailable for comment after shootaround.
Morris, meanwhile, will make his first start of the season.
"Just got to come in and just play my game. Nothing really changes," he said. "Just come in and be solid. Come in and continue to be aggressive, continue to play defense and just give the team some boost."
Morris has done exactly that with his play recently. He's scored in double figures in a career-long six straight games, averaging 13.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 26.9 minutes off the bench.
"He's done a good job. He's deserved that opportunity (to start)," Hornacek said.
This game begins an important stretch for the Suns, who currently sit one game behind eighth-place Dallas in the Western Conference.
The Suns (36-27) close out March playing seven of 11 games against teams with losing records.
"If we want to be a playoff team, they're games that we need to win. And it's as simple as that," Hornacek said. "If we want to make that push to try to get in, this is a good stretch for us to try to prove that."

Apologies if this has been discussed before or it is plain obvious (and I am missing it) but I can't seem to find a solution anywhere.
I have a save file with a Genesis figure that has some morphs to turn it into, let's say, "Creature A". Later on, after getting a new set of morphs for "Creature B", I load the old save file so I can combine some of B's features into A. Except that the slider (on the right hand of the screen) for turning Genesis into B is nowhere to be found.
If I load a new instance of Genesis, all the sliders are available. But after painstakingly setting up the first figure like I want, I would prefer if I didn't have to recreate it just to add some morphs.
Thanks in advance.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals lose Tyrann Mathieu for season, maybe longer
TEMPE, Ariz. -- It may be a while before we see Tyrann Mathieu on a football field again.
The safety left Sunday's game with what was feared to be an ACL injury, and news came out Monday that things were even worse than originally thought.
Cardinals coach Bruce Arians announced Mathieu, who hurt himself returning a safety-kick in the third quarter of Sunday's 30-10 win over the St. Louis Rams, will need surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament in his left knee. He added surgery is usually performed eight days after the initial injury.
"It's a shame," he said. "Prognosis is crazy -- it's individuals. Some guys�this will be a long one, but I won't tempt to say how long because it's individual guys now."
Asked if Mathieu could be back in time for training camp, Arians was not optimistic.
"I would doubt that," he said. "I would doubt that."
The injury is a significant blow to a Cardinals defense that has evolved into one of the best in the NFL. Though a rookie, Mathieu had become one of the team's most important players, as the safety had 68 tackles to go along with two interceptions and one forced fumble.
Able to play both safety and cornerback, his versatility in the defensive backfield will be missed.
"It will take two guys to take his place," Arians said.
The coach said Rashad Johnson, Antoine Cason, Jerraud Powers, Bryan McCann, Javier Arenas can all help fill the void in coverage, but added with Mathieu, no substitutions were necessary.
With three games left in the regular season and the Cardinals still in the playoff race, replacing Mathieu on the field is certainly an important issue to figure out. However, much of the focus will turn to the 21-year-old's future, especially given how bright it appears to be.
The road to recovery will be a long one. Of course, his path to this point has not exactly been a smooth one, so adversity is not anything new to the former LSU star. But his previous issues were of the self-made variety, and not injury related. That Mathieu has been able to overcome those, however, emerging as a key member of a playoff contender, bodes well for his comeback journey.
"He's been fantastic, and he's a leader," Arians said. "Very seldom do you see young guys come in and become a leader like he has, especially in the secondary. But his personality is infectious with the guys because he loves football.
"He'll stay out there and practice all day and go as hard as he can. Those are guys you miss."
From here, it will be all about how Mathieu responds to something that happened to him.
"He was crying, he was sad," Arians said. "He's never been injured. These guys that get hurt for the first time, it's devastating. And when you take away the thing he loves the most and works so hard for, he was devastated.
"But he'll get over it, he's strong. He's got a lot of support."
And that, along with everything Mathieu has shown him since being drafted in April, is why the coach is confident this will be little more than a speed bump for a rising star.
"He's got a bright, bright future, just right now he's got to work hard at getting his leg back," Arians said. "And I'm sure he will."

Coconut milk is creamy, delicious, and unfortunately loaded with high amounts of both calories and saturated fats. This article discusses great alternatives for coconut milk. Not only do these foods taste great, but they are much healthier for your diet. You'll wish you tried them out sooner!
Spiced Milk
Spiced milk is probably one of the best substitutes for coconut milk. While spiced milk sounds like an exotic food, it is really just plain old milk with a few basic spices added. Coconut milk is typically loaded with high amounts of calories and saturated fats, which have been found to be linked to the development of a variety of serious conditions, including cardiovascular disease, stroke and even some cancers. And while milk does still contain saturated fat, the amount found is extremely low when compared to the amount found in coconut milk.
For best results, choose low or nonfat milk. To make spiced milk, pour the amount of desired milk into a small saucepan, and gradually increase the temperature of the stove. Stir the milk constantly in order to prevent burns. Carefully chop the desired spices of your choice--for example, you may want to consider adding nutmeg, cinnamon or cloves to the milk. Stir the spices into the milk, and allow it to combine thoroughly. Let the spiced milk reach room temperature before serving.
Soy Milk
Soy milk makes another great alternative to coconut milk. Soy milk still provides the same creaminess associated with coconut milk, but contains significantly fewer fat grams and calories. In addition, soy milk contains high amounts of protein, making it a great alternative for vegetarians, individuals who are lactose intolerant, or simply people who don't like the taste of dairy.
Finally, yogurt makes a great alternative for coconut--as long as you are willing to put a little extra work into its preparation. Like soy milk, yogurt contains the same creaminess as coconut milk, with fewer calories and fat. For best results, use yogurt that is made from low or nonfat milk. To turn the yogurt into a great coconut substitute, start by placing a piece of clean cheesecloth over a small bowl, and secure the cheesecloth in place. Pour the yogurt over the cheesecloth, and allow it to drain through. After eight hours, check the yogurt. Most of the liquids should have dripped into the bowl. Carefully squeeze the remaining yogurt in the cheesecloth, and get any remaining liquids into the bowl. Add a small amount of lemon juice to create a fresh, delicious flavor.

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) June 25, 2014
Dr. Vargas' newly certified achievement demonstrates increased knowledge, experience and competency in the respective field of pain medicine and will join alongside certifications currently held in both Addiction Medicine and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. "Obtaining board certifications in Pain Management, Addiction Medicine and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation allow me to treat complex medical pain sufferers with the highest standards of care in each specialty," said Dr. Vargas. Having the ability to "tackle patient's problems from multiple points of view," is imperative to the continuity of quality medical care provided by physicians.
According to abpm.org, the official website of the American Board of Pain Medicine, Diplomates are evaluated and selected annually following a thorough credentialing process which includes a written "psychometrically developed and practice-related examination in the field of pain medicine." A passing score is set by a national panel of expert representatives in the field of pain medicine and is based on an expected level of knowledge and expertise with the goal of improving patient care.

App Store scammers, Apple is on to you.
In a brief announcement on its Developer Portal, Apple has just informed developers that app screenshots will be locked in the App Store once the associated app has been approved.
The announcement, titled "Updating Screenshots in iTunes Connect," states:
Beginning January 9, app screenshots will be locked in iTunes Connect once your app has been approved. New screenshots may be uploaded when you submit a binary for an update to an existing app or a new app.
This might sound unimportant to most. But it's actually anything but inconsequential to those who are familiar with the workings of App Store scamming.
You see, App Store scammers typically carry out a kind of bait-and-switch scheme. Under this scheme, they would develop seemingly innocuous apps, usually very basic ones. Then they would have these apps approved by Apple using screenshots and descriptions that match the apps.
Once the apps have been approved, they would replace the screenshots and descriptions with ones that pertain to other apps, usually hugely popular ones.
If you can't see the video embedded above, please click here.
Take Minecraft Mobile for example. This scam app, which we "featured" here on AppAdvice last month, was originally submitted to Apple's review team as a sort of colorized visualizer named Gravitational Particles.
But after it was approved, its crafty developer changed its name, description, and screenshots in the App Store to make it appear similar to the hit sandbox game Minecraft.
Want another example? Watch the video above, in which Diet Coda developer Panic exposes an app called Mooncraft for what it really is: a kiddie building-block game posing as – you guessed it – Minecraft.
Of course, Minecraft isn't the only game being targeted by scammers. There have also been instances of scam apps posing as iOS ports of popular console games, like this double whammy of Halo 4 fakery.
In any case, it's good to know that we will be seeing fewer and fewer bait-and-switch scam apps from now on, thanks to Apple's new guideline.

Is Alex Rodriguez a Kabbalah dropout? Madge not happy!
The ink isn't even dry on Madonna and ex-husband Guy Ritchie's quickie divorce papers. She was granted an early split by the London courts on Friday.
Now come reports of trouble in her new paradise: Her new soul mate, New York Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez, is getting bored with her beloved cabala religion.
A source close to the Kabbalah Centre has told MSNBC that A-Rod has backed out of attending private classes with spiritual leader Eitan Yardeni.
Worse, he canceled at the last minute. That's not very spiritual. Hey, come to think of it, did he ever even wear the red string?
"He hasn't even finished Kabbalah 1 [intro to cabala] and the majority of the time he's spent with Yardeni so far was for counseling, not study," says the source. "This is certainly off-putting to Madonna. She did drag Guy into cabala, she's doing the same now (with Rodriguez). But he's bored. He's basically a cabala school dropout."
Oh, just let the poor guy alone.
Let him father another kid for her and adopt a few more with her, for crying out loud.
That's all she wants.
What do you think? Is A-Rod serious about Kabbalah? Or was he just faking it to get into Madonna's ... apartment?

great.......but not sure about width
By ACME
from Rockford, IL
About Me Competitive Cyclist
My first set of Vittorias were the Rubino Pro Slicks which I tried because of their 120TPI casing and availability in 25mm width. I wanted to switch from 23 to 25mm width for extra comfort and pinch flat protection. I wasn't too concerned whether I'd get a treaded or slick tire. I quickly grew to love those tires and the switch to 25mm, and eagerly sought sales on Rubino Pros when I had the funds. My next purchase were the Pro II treaded version and this time I was so happy to find a treaded version in a 25mm width for good wet traction, also this version has an even better 150TPI casing. When the Slicks finally wore out and time came to mount the treaded PRO IIs, I was disappointed to find that unlike the Slicks measuring 25.4mm wide and being true to their designation, the treaded measuring only 23.4mm were more like mislabeled 23mm tires. I actually directed that exact question to Vittoria via email ,but haven't heard back yet, so I'm not sure what's up with that. I will say though,that if you want 23mm tires the 25mm PRO IIs would be outstanding. They are awesome tires, but 25s to 25s the Slicks offer more comfort.
Really good tire
By Cycle Steve
from Wichita, KS
About Me Avid Cyclist
This is a good tire. Grabs the road which is great for handling and cornering but doesn't roll as fast as some other tires. I have put way more miles on every set I have bought, probably more than I should but they hold up really well and are great on repelling road trash. In the last two years I have only had one pinch flat and tires have never shredded on anything. Pick these over Gators or Armadillos for durability and compared to those tires they roll better. Just not tires you would want to race on unless it was a tight course with a lot of turns.
Great affordable all arounder!
By Tank 1988
from Boston MA
Great affordable all around tire. I am a Clydesdale and go through lots of tires. These are my go to training tire, long tread life, stiff enough sidewall to hold my extra lbs and rarely puncture. They may not roll as free as a pure race tire but they keep me riding and for short money. I have tried many different tires and always come back to these. Buy them with confidence!
Good tire, good value
By Mark

Have gone through 2 sets of these tires. Both lasted 2000+ miles. Good puncture resistance.
good tire
By Tatnai
from Midwest
I bought the 700x25 for my x-fire cx bike. I ride it as a road bike through the spring and summer. I replaced nashbar duro pro 700x23 tires, which lacked significantly in durability. I am 150 lbs.First, the two I received ARE 120 TPI. I don't know if the other reviewer had a mix-up in his order.I've got about 500 miles on these (both front and back). They ride well, feel supple, grip well. I have had zero flats. I haven't ridden much in wet weather so can't comment on that. I know other sites have had questions about durability on these tires, suggesting that you sacrifice durability for a slightly more supple ride. I think that how you ride and the rider's weight are a large factor. I think at my light weight, and given that I am careful to not ride over glass and obstacles (as all riders should be), these are plenty durable for me, and a good tire at a great price which = 5 stars. YMMV.
Fish Hook Safe
By Bimini Fred
from Ft Lauderdale
Put on a new set for the 2012 Miami to Key West ride. Going over the 7 Mile Bridge, I picked up a fish hook in the front tire, but kept going because it was unsafe to stop. Once over the bridge, I stopped and removed the hook. There was a small chunk of tread missing but the hook did not penetrate. Then I just kept on riding in paradise. Planning on doing the ride again, so I need another set.

A bunion is a painful enlargement caused by swelling of the big toe joint. In some cases, surgery may be required to correct severe bunions.
You may have a bunion if you have:
Heredity, poorly fitting shoes, and abnormal motion of the feet are some major causes of bunions. Shoes that are too narrow may cause the bunion to worsen. Arthritis can also be a factor.

What do I worry about? Well, I worry about a lot of things as most people probably do, but you know they say, worrying does nothing for you. It only adds stress to you. Some of the things I worry about are my future. I'm 23 years old and I live temporarily in Japan, and I don't know what I'm going to do after Japan, so I worry about the future and what I'm going to do. I also worry about what kind of job I'm going to be getting in the future, whether it can be as good of a pay as I have now. I worry about what I can accomplish in the future, whether I'm going to be able to get my Master's degree, whether I'm going to be able to do the things I live, which is travel, so those are just some of the things I worry about.

The FDA Must Regulate Dangerous Antimicrobials in Everyday Products
Fact Sheet
- Consumers in the United States spend almost $1 billion per year on "antibacterial" soaps and other products, often motivated by the notion that these products will protect their families from harmful germs and illnesses. But in fact, these products are no more effective than regular soap and water for preventing illness, and they contain chemicals that can actually harm our health and the environment. Up to 75 percent of liquid soaps, as well as bar soaps, toothpaste, cosmetics, cleansing lotions, acne creams, and wipes contain triclosan or triclocarban—chemicals marketed as reducing the number of bacteria or "germs." The FDA needs to take action now to stop the continued sale of ineffective and potentially unsafe antimicrobial chemicals in household products. Get document in pdf.

Paul Marston believes that words like "purposeless", "chance" and "blind" should not be used by scientists to express scientific ideas because these are metaphysical terms. He also believes that, in denying God's existence, atheists express religious convictions (Letters, 16 May, p 53).
So, if a person states that the Universe is not purposeless, is not governed by blind chance but by the fiat of gods, there is nothing a scientist can do to counteract this opinion, since any attack on it would necessarily include these words, which are no-nos for scientists. This will make debate on the subject rather difficult.
No. Metaphysics, religion and philosophy hold no patent rights on vocabulary where scientists or anyone else is concerned.
And to call atheism a "religious view" because it attacks religion is like calling people who don't believe the Earth is flat Flat Earthers, because they hold views on the subject. ...

I don't know how to cook chicken
I had a chicken breast. I threw it in a pan, it cooked for 9 minutes on medium - high heat. The bottom was getting brown but the middle was completely raw. I flipped it over and kept cooking until it was done in the middle. Which resulted in a burnt outside and a dry on the inside. I seriously don't know how to cook chicken. Any help??

Tax-free DPRK Praised by British Organizations
| Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) -- The British Association for the Study of Songun Policy, the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and the British Branch of the Korean Friendship Association made public a joint statement on Mar. 18 40 years since the tax system was abolished in the DPRK.
The statement said:
The DPRK became the first tax-free country in the world as the law "On abolishing the tax system" was promulgated at the 3rd Session of the Fifth Supreme People's Assembly on March 21, 1974.
It was an eye-opening event.
The Korean people got rid of all taxes and lead a happy life under the social benefits such as free education and medical care systems.
The rising generation of the DPRK doesn't know what tax is like.
Tax in the capitalist countries is a serious social problem.
The people's life has improved after the tax system was totally abolished in the DPRK.
This was, indeed, a miracle of history.
The DPRK turned into the genuine people's paradise thanks to the politics for loving the people pursued by President Kim Il Sung and General Secretary Kim Jong Il.
The material and cultural life of the Korean people is steadily improving under the wise leadership of the respected HE Kim Jong Un.

Hi all,
Looking for some more help from those who know.
I don't wish to hijack any more threads by others, so I've started my own here. Will take some photos today and post them up later.
I've been looking at the pics in the build threads by Camaro73 and dee, and also by looking at photos on timstrucks.com.
I think I managed to get the rear axle brackets (and therefore axles) in correctly, but I still need help on the following;
My kit was missing one tyre, so I robbed the spare one from my tanker trailer kit. Do AMT have a parts replacement service?
Do the air tanks in step 7 attach to the bottom frame rail and hang from there, the underside of the top frame rail and hang from that, or attach to the inside of the frame on the vertical surface?
Where exactly do the front shocks attach to the front springs?
Does the cab tilt cylinder actually attach to the cab?
I can't seem to figure out exactly where the radiator is to make contact with the frame, and in trying to dryfit I had to separate the forward engine mount from the frame at one side in order to get the rad in. I now think the engine bearer may not be aligned correctly. there are two raised lines on the frame that look like locations for the rear of the rad, but they are not square with each other.
The rear metal axles are about 15mm too long, or are they supposed to push through the brake drums into the inside of the hubs?
Are the rear wheels just supposed to click onto the hubs or be glued wheel to wheel to brake drum? (I can't seem to get the wheel faces to make contact without squashing the tyres).
Is there meant to be a second fuel tank mount brace? I can't find one.
The steering box can attach at multiple various angles, with no idea which is correct. I haven't got the cab together yet, so i haven't been able to dryfit that yet. I sure mine is attached wrong though.
Despite all the above, I am actually enjoying the build, believe it or not. It's a total change of pace for me and has me thinking of a diner/gas station/car park diorama for the future.
(I need somewhere to display all those Mustang kits).This is the first truck kit I've built since my teens, and only my third ever. I've also got the fruehauf box van trailer on the go for behind the KW.
I'm going to go for an owner/operator look, to maximise the chrome bling effect on the truck. I'll have to paint the fuel tanks though, as the seam is too noticeable, but I have a bottle of Alclad chrome and polished aluminium for that. Frame is going to be satin black, still undecided on the cab colour though. Any suggestions?
Sorry about all the questions, but these are things I just can't figure out for myself. Pics to follow tomorrow.
Cheers, Roy.

An example of where a handler saved the day was in ISC's diskless workstation support, where a bug in the implementation meant that using named pipes on the workstation could induce undesirable resource locking on the fileserver. A handler was created on the workstation to field accesses to the afflicted named pipes until the appropriate kernel fixes could be developed. This handler required approximately 5 kilobytes of code to implement, an indication that a non-trivial handler did not need to be large.
ISC also received the right to manufacture DIAB's DS90-10 and DS90-20 machines as its file servers. The multiprocessor DS90-20's, however, were too expensive for the target market and ISC designed its own servers and ported DNIX to them. ISC designed its own GUI-based diskless workstations for use with these file servers, and ported DNIX again. (Though ISC used Daisy workstations running Daisy DNIX to design the machines that would run DIAB's DNIX, there was negligible confusion internally as the drafting and layout staff rarely talked to the software staff. Moreover, the hardware design staff didn't use either system! The running joke went something like: "At ISC we build computers, we don't use them.") The asynchronous I/O support of DNIX allowed for easy event-driven programming in the workstations, which performed well even though they had relatively limited resources. (The GUI diskless workstation had a 7 MHz 68010 processor and was usable with only 512K of memory, of which the kernel consumed approximately half. Most workstations had 1 MB of memory, though there were later 2 MB and 4 MB versions, along with 10 MHz processors.) A full-blown installation could consist of one server (16 MHz 68020, 8 MB of RAM, and a 200 MB hard disk) and up to 64 workstations. Though slow to boot up, such an array would perform acceptably in a bank teller application. Besides the innate efficiency of DNIX, the associated DIAB C compiler was key to high performance. It generated particularly good code for the 68010, especially after ISC got done with it. (ISC also retargeted it to the Texas Instruments TMS34010 graphics coprocessor used in its last workstation.) The DIAB C compiler was, of course, used to build DNIX itself which was one of the factors contributing to its efficiency, and is still available (in some form) through Wind River Systems.
These systems are still in use as of this writing in 2006, in former Seattle-First National Bank branches now branded Bank of America. There may be, and probably are, other ISC customers still using DNIX in some capacity. Through ISC there was a considerable DNIX presence in Central and South America.
DNIX function codes were organized into two classes: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 commands were those that were associated with I/O activity, or anything that could potentially cause the issuing process to block. Major examples were F_OPEN, F_CLOSE, F_READ, F_WRITE, F_IOCR, F_IOCW, F_WAIT, and F_NAP. Type 2 were the remainder, such as F_GETPID, F_GETTIME, etc. They could be satisfied by the kernel itself immediately.
To invoke asynchronicity, a special file descriptor called a trap queue had to have been created via the Type 2 opcode F_OTQ. A Type 1 call would have the F_NOWAIT bit OR-ed with its function value, and one of the additional parameters to dnix(2) was the trap queue file descriptor. The return value from an asynchronous call was not the normal value but a kernel-assigned identifier. At such time as the asynchronous request completed, a read(2) (or F_READ) of the trap queue file descriptor would return a small kernel-defined structure containing the identifier and result status. The F_CANCEL operation was available to cancel any asynchronous operation that hadn't yet been completed, one of its arguments was the kernel-assigned identifier. (A process could only cancel requests that were currently owned by itself. The exact semantics of cancellation was up to each request's handler, fundamentally it only meant that any waiting was to be terminated. A partially-completed operation could be returned.) In addition to the kernel-assigned identifier, one of the arguments given to any asynchronous operation was a 32-bit user-assigned identifier. This most often referenced a function pointer to the appropriate subroutine that would handle the I/O completion method, but this was merely convention. It was the entity that read the trap queue elements that was responsible for interpreting this value.
Of note is that the asynchronous events were gathered via normal file descriptor read operations, and that such reading was itself capable of being made asynchronous. This had implications for semi-autonomous asynchronous event handling packages that could exist within a single process. (DNIX 5.2 did not have lightweight processes or threads.) Also of note is that any potentially blocking operation was capable of being issued asynchronously, so DNIX was well equipped to handle many clients with a single server process. A process was not restricted to having only one trap queue, so I/O requests could be grossly prioritized in this way.
DNIX 5.2 had no networking protocol stacks internally (except for the thin X.25-based Ethernet protocol stack added by ISC for use by its diskless workstation support package), all networking was conducted by reading and writing to Handlers. Thus, there was no socket mechanism, but a libsocket(3) existed that used asynchronous I/O to talk to the TCP/IP handler. The typical Berkeley-derived networking program could be compiled and run unchanged (modulo the usual Unix porting problems).
A handler would then read small kernel-assigned request data structures from the request queue. (Such reading could be done synchronously or asynchronously as the handler's author desired.) The handler would then do whatever each request required to be satisfied, often using the DNIX F_UREAD and F_UWRITE calls to read and write into the request's data space, and then would terminate the request appropriately using F_TERMIN. A privileged handler could adopt the permissions of its client for individual requests to subordinate handlers (such as the filesystem) via the F_T1REQ call, so it didn't need to reproduce the subordinate's permission scheme. If a handler was unable to complete a request itself, the F_PASSRQ function could be used to pass I/O requests from one handler to another. A handler could perform part of the work requested before passing the rest on to another handler. It was very common for a handler to be state-machine oriented so that requests it was fielding from a client were all done asynchronously. This allowed for a single handler to field requests from multiple clients simultaneously without them blocking each other unnecessarily. Part of the request structure was the process ID and its priority so that a handler could choose what to work on first based upon this information, there was no requirement that work be performed in the order it was requested. To aid in this, it was possible to poll both request and trap queues to see if there was more work to be considered before buckling down to actually do it.
There was no particular restriction on the number of request queues a process could have. This was used to provide networking facilities to chroot jails, for example.
At ISC, developers considerably extended their version of DNIX 5.2 (only listed are features involving the kernel itself) based upon both their needs and the general trends of the Unix industry:
