Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal just débuted in Japan (and across plenty of websites for us non-Japanese people to enjoy too), and I know there's plenty of fans of the Sailor Scouts around here - so here's a few of my thoughts on Sailor Moon's shiny new adventures! (Spoilers beyond the cut!)
Overall, despite the hang ups I had going into the series - mainly that it was really hard to give up the nostalgia for the old animé and the English dub (as cut up and bastardised as it was), and I wasn't too keen on the new artstyle that skewed closer to Naoko Takeuchi's original manga - but I really enjoyed Episode 1. It's still Sailor Moon, in so much that it's pretty transformation sequences and ridiculously cheesy plots to take over the world from the bad guys, and a whole lot of campy fun. But anyway, thoughts!
- There seems to be a lot more foreshadowing of
Serena'sUsagi's (I CANNN'T HELLLP IIIIT) true nature as the Princess of the Moon in this version compared to the earlier episodes of the original Animé. We see a lot more of Usagi and Mamoru and glimpses of her dreams of the moon than what I can remember of the old show.
- Speaking of foreshadowing, we also get a lot of mentions of Sailor V - I know the first episode of the series mentioned her a bit, as it's a Sailor V game Usagi plays at the arcade, but we get a lot more of her in Crystal. It's nice to see Minako a bit more, considering it'll be a while before Sailor Venus actually enters the scene.
- The opening is awesome, and I can't stop relistening to Moon Pride on the NicoNico archive. It's no Moonlight Densetsu, and I kinda miss the more abstract, freakier version of the opening that the original animé had, but it's energetic, funky and perfect for Sailor Moon. Revo continues to be great! I didn't really like the ending song though, it's a bit slower and ballad-y - but it's alright.
- Aside from those though, the music in the episode itself is kinda sparse, so it's hard to give much of an opinion - but the choral music for Sailor Moon's transformation sequence and when she uses her
Moon Tiara Magic(dammit) Moon Tiara Boomerang were really cool.
- I think the art style works a bit better in motion that it looks in the promo art - and although the character's faces aren't as overtly emoted as they were in the original series, they're not as blank as I feared they would be. There's some nice little moments that touch on the extravagant reaction animations that were a hallmark of the first series' goofier moments, but it's much more subdued here and fitting of the aesthetic the show's going for - hopefully we get more of this throughout Crystal.
- I know it's my problem being hung up on it, but man, it's really jarring seeing Naru/Molly and Umino/Melvin and not instantly hearing their DiC-dub voices in my head. Apart from that, the voice acting seemed good, as far as I can tell - I'm still not particularly familiar with watching a lot of undubbed Animé, so I'm by no means an expert. Apparently only Usagi's voice actress is unchanged from the original cast, but everyone sounded fine. I like Luna's Japanese voice a lot!
- I can't really say much about the story because, well... it's not just the same story (Usagi discovering her power and foiling Jadeite's really dumb nefarious plan to steal people's energy through... discount jewellery), it's basically an almost literal shot-for-shot remake of the original Animé's first episode. I know Crystal is meant to follow the manga a lot more closely than the original series did, and the opening is obviously going to be very similar as it's how the manga itself starts out, but I wasn't honestly expecting it to be so similar to the first Animé. It was great from a nostalgia perspective - it was basically Sailor Moon's equivalent of a HD remaster - but hopefully Crystal will do more of its own thing as it progresses soon enough, as the original series began to diverge from its roots very quickly.
- Tuxedo Mask is still as hilariously useless as I remember. I love it. Although in the original I don't remember him bumping into Usagi outside the arcade whilst wearing his Tuxedo. Your 'disguise' is already laughably ineffective already, Mamoru, why are you running around in your Tuxedo in broad daylight too!?
- AMI TEASE FOR NEXT EPISODE!!!! Yay. I love Ami, she's my favourite Sailor Scout (honestly, it's mainly because my favourite colour is blue so the blue haired, water themed Sailor was my go-to pick. I was a pretty simply pleased kid.) - but it might just be my memory playing tricks, or did Usagi have a few episodes on her own in the original before Sailor Mercury showed up? It seems like Crystal is getting straight to her, which is great in my books.
So yeah, overall Episode 1 was a really fun re-introduction to all things Sailor Moon for me, even if it was a little weird to see basically the identical episode from the original again just in the new style. It's going to be killer waiting 2 weeks for the next episode though - bi-weekly, why!? Why!? I want mah Sailor Moon fix, now!
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Crystal airs on the first and third Saturday of every month at 7pm JST, with subtitled simulcasts airing on Hulu, Crunchyroll and (thankfully, because otherwise it seems IMPOSSIBLE to watch this series in Europe without a VPN) NicoNico. You can still watch the archive of Episode 1 for free for the next two weeks here. Did you like it? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Oh, I worked at a Screamer dealership (Mistral) for over 10 years. NEVER owned a Screamer, refused boards given to me by the rep.
I am NOT a Screamer fan, by any means.
But the 5 or so Syncro's I've ridden, dog slow, like a Hypersonic. I"m the guy who spoke out against Hypersonics on the Starboard forum, to the point I got banned. Dog slow again, very smooth, worthless for speed, good for beginner short boarders.

Interesting that you mention gybing. That, in fact, was my main disappointment on re-trying the old Screamer. I'd always remembered it fondly (compared to the dedicated slalom boards of the time) but, sadly, I felt that some modern shapes are now better.
My two best gybing boards are now the 08 Exocet 118, (bought on the strength of the enthusiastic Boardseeker online test), and the original 05 Evo 74.
Perhaps they are too good at gybing, and make us lazy, but I'm not alone in thinking that the old Screamer is 'of its time.' Two comparitive tests (Boardseeker was one) of old Screamer head to head with modern equivalent, basically came to the same conclusion.

Those tests are pure BS.
Remember, those testers couldn't jibe when the Screamer came out, and only recently learned to jibe, plus, they're selling the new stuff, not the old.
Notice your slalom jibes are best done with 118 liters. Could you be a big guy who never could jibe 100 liter boards?
The fact you can jibe a wave board means only that it jibes with a slashy turn, not a full planing high speed jibe that comes out almost as fast as the entry.
And if you can't jibe it, you wouldn't like it, would you?
A better sailior might be able to jibe well with your Syncro AND with and old Screamer, and might prefer the faster top speeds of the Screamer.

LeeD is right in saying that Mistral modified its late version Shredder, Sceamer, and Stinger models to incorporate a more standard designed mast track and finbox components. It must be remembered that these thermoformed product designs were retained for a number of years to cover the high cost of the molds. So the design and manufacture of the revised mast track and finbox could be accomplished at the less expense component level and could later be integrated in the original cavities created in the board. While it could be that some changes were needed in the master molds, they could ultimately be handled through relatively minor changes to the master molds.
Lastly, if the Shredder happens to have the aluminum mast track, it's not always possible to simply use the threaded portion of the adjustable carriage to end all problems. I had a Stinger where the adjustable carriage component started to fail allowing it to move forward while sailing. Although the problem can be dealt with by making some simple custom parts like I did, it can be a bit of a problem to address and resolve.

You can stick two pieces of wood in front and behind the track to set it in place.

Sorry Zirtaeb, been busy and just checked before hitting the sack.
You are unfairly attacking my stance. I used my old Screamer (masttrack and wide point forward) through the early 90's with pre twist sails, and loved it for its all round appeal, and gybing and jumping. Those were the fond memories I had of it on re-use last year, and which I found disappointing, compared to current better boards. (I noted the Exocet Cross 118 and Evo 74 in particular.)
I'm a normal competent gyber, same as most at our sailing spot, who makes some (but not all) fully planing gybes, even if I do sometimes come out full tilt clew first- but why not, it's all fun.
All I can say is that I prefer the feel of a couple of my newer boards over the olde Screamer, as do most others who used to sail them, but now keep them stashed away somewhere as old loves, cast aside for younger models.

Since you guys mentioned speed... I always thought the Screamer was wicked fast. A few years back, I set a personal best on a 2007 Screamer 116 within the first few minutes of sailing it (32.4 mph). It also jibed very well, although best with a smaller fin than the stock fin.
I sailed Synchros only a couple of times, and would have thought them to be a bit slower. But just a couple of weeks ago, I saw a post by Denis where he posted a
top speed of 44.5 mph (38.7 knots)
on a Synchro 105. There are not many windsurfers in the US who have ever gone this fast.
Many slalom and freerace boards have to be sailed fast, and are terribly when you try to sail them slow. But some boards with a bit of wave rocker are perfectly happy going slow, and might give the
impression of being slow boards. I thought of my Tabou 3S 96 as being slow - it's perfectly happy sailing along at 15 knots in waves. Then a while later, I put a slalom fin in, used the outboard straps, and got one of my fastest speeds ever on the same "slow" board (30 knots). Even then, the limiting factor clearly was me and the sail, not the board.
More often than not, I choose the 3S over my slalom board even when going for speed, especially when it's a bit bumpy or I'm a bit lazy. For my limited skills, the top speeds are very close, and the 3S makes sailing easier and more fun. Seems a Synchro might be similar.

On re-trying my old Screamer (an early model without deck pads, and with the twin rear footstraps one ahead of the other) last year, I used a modern loose leached rig. It occurs to me that may have caused the disappointment to what I'd fondly remembered it to be like.
The wide point and mast track are both forward, to suit the more back-handed tight leached sails of the time. Those sails certainly worked on it, and gave it that 'edge.'
I'll try and dig out one of my old tight leach 5.5 sails and old epoxy mast, to go back to exactly as I used to sail it 20 years ago, and give it another try. If I can still do as I did on it then, I'll fling all my newer 'easier' boards in the trash can, and burn off all these lazy sods on fat boards!
But I won't bet on it. Progress isn't just an illusion, surely?? On the other hand ........

Then newest cambered sails still work great on the old boards, wide point forwards, track a mile forwards. You just move the track back from where you used to use it.
And the OLD sails, like 1988 Windwing races, and 1990 Waddel races, work great on 2012 slalom boards, like the RRD and Isonics.
You just have to know how to make it work.
Both examples are being ridden currently at Berkeley, to the satisfaction of the riders. Both riders also have more modern sails, as modern as '09.
I used to use my GaastraRace 5.7 from 1987 on the 2003 Kinetic slalom board, and it worked fine......as a 6.2 replacement.

i did the explosion/energy thing for the top speed while my brother did the shredder/screamer thing. he was gibing way before me. be aware that modern sails will probably have to run way back in the mast track to work well, and 30 cm is about the safe limit of fin size you can put in the shredder E-box.

Today we get a new topic, ongoing faith formation, covered in GDC 69-72. Language is more than political lingo, and I think there are good reasons to avoid "education" where "faith formation" is a more descriptive term. The heading for sections 69-72 is "Catechesis at the service of ongoing formation in the faith." That's what we're talking about.
69. Continuing or on-going education in the faith follows upon basic education and presupposes it. Both fulfil two distinct but complementary functions of the ministry of the word while serving the process of continuing conversion. Initiatory catechesis lays the basis for the Christian life of the followers of Jesus. The process of continuing conversion goes beyond what is provided by basic catechesis. In order to encourage this process, it is necessary to have a Christian community which welcomes the initiated, sustains them and forms them in the faith: "Catechesis runs the risk of becoming barren if no community of faith and Christian life welcomes the catechumen at a certain stage of his catechesis". (Catechesi Tradendae 24) The accompaniment which a community gives to the initiated is eventually transformed into their being totally integrated by the same community.
Unfortunately, the Church is dogged by the reality that religious education is viewed as being a matter for baptized children. Additionally, it is colored by the association with classrooms–and nearly all parishes have most of their rooms dedicated to the education of children.
One might argue (with admittedly mixed results) that we have no problem with the imparting of faith information to young people. But catechesis to children–not to mention catechumens–bears barren branches in many places because of little or no connection to the life of the community. I think Catholic schools do a fairly excellent job at developing the life of community within their walls. But they don't always connect to other faith loci on their campuses or of their students' families. There is a concern that catechumens are integrated into the mainstream life of a faith community. We can and should ask if our schools accomplish this task. I don't think they always do.

He has always borne the reputation of being a fearless priest, who allowed no dictates of expediency to stand between him and the goal which his conscience dictated. His methods have at times bordered on the unconventional, and have brought him unsought publicity. Often misunderstood by many people, he has made many enduring friendships by his deep qualities of sympathy and understanding.
Arthur Ernest White was born on 27 August 1883 in London, England. He attended Leeds University, and trained as a priest at the Church of England's College of the Resurrection at Mirfield, West Yorkshire. He was a curate in Elland, Yorkshire, when early in 1912 the Bishop of Bunbury, Western Australia, travelled to England seeking priests for his newly established Bush Brotherhood of St Boniface.
The Bush Brotherhood, as it was known, was formed in 1911 and based in Williams. Here, a small band of priests committed themselves to itinerant work in a large agricultural diocese for at least three years.
White and six other British priests accepted the challenge of work in the large south west diocese. For White, who had always suffered from a painful ear condition, there was the hope of relief in a warmer climate. He arrived in August 1912 and moved into the House of Grace, built for the Bush Brotherhood near Williams, and formally dedicated in 1913. It was here that White lived 'in a state of voluntary poverty', making long journeys into the bush to meet the spiritual needs of isolated settlers. In September 1916, the Bishop of Bunbury reflected that 'we miss today the genial presence of Brother Arthur White'. He explained that he had 'felt called to offer one of its [the Bush Brotherhood's] number for national service at the front'. White was that 'offering' and was already in France by this time.
White was on neither the First nor Second Convoys from Albany, but left Fremantle on 6 June 1916 with the 44th Battalion, AIF, aboard HMAT Suevic. The ship was farewelled with flags, handkerchiefs and streamers by 'the biggest crowd that had ever assembled on a West Australian waterfront'. The ship was 'uncomfortably crowded' with a total of around 1,600 on board.
The failure of an ash valve to close in the bottom of the Suevic caused a leak, and as a result the ship had to put into Durban to be patched up by divers before the scheduled Capetown visit. The sea voyage lasted seven weeks and the troops were happy to reach England on 21 July 1916. They entrained for Salisbury Plain where they marched into Larkhill Camp, not far from Stonehenge.
Larkhill Camp comprised many huts spread over a large area. The routine included drills, kit inspections, route marches and parades. White conducted services, sacraments and religious instruction, providing counselling and general pastoral support. The 44th Battalion moved from the camp and embarked for France in late November 1916.
In November 1916, White went to the Armentières sector in northern France as chaplain with the 44th Battalion. Conditions were miserable. The first night was to be remembered as one of 'icy misery, with a bitter wind howling across the top of the hill, and the slush and mud underfoot giving a foretaste of the great influence it was to have over the men's lives during the next two years'. Over the next year, White's service with the battalion was intermittent, owing to chronic health problems.
As a chaplain in France with the 44th Battalion, White provided spiritual support and counselling to the troops. He helped them cope with their day-to-day struggles as they lived with the appalling realities of the Western Front. The battalion suffered its first battle deaths at Armentières on 31 December 1916. Thereafter the chaplains were kept busy attending burial parties. White also provided practical support to the troops in the freezing trenches. He supplied amenities, assisted in writing letters home and comforted the wounded.
In his time on the battlefield, White thought deeply about the role and the future of the Anglican Church after the war. He felt confident that the Anglican Church was the best church for the nation but wondered if it would 'stand the test of the battle field'. He hoped that the troops would return home to find a vibrant church so that the message he preached in France would not be lost.
In November 1916, no doubt as a result of the freezing, damp and exposed conditions of the Armentières sector, White began to experience the middle ear problems he had endured since childhood. In February 1917, his ear problem (otitis media) worsened. He reported pain in both ears and was transferred to the 3rd London General Hospital, Wandsworth, on 11 February, so that the chronic inflammation could be dealt with. Here his septum was removed, but constant pain saw him discharged to Perham Downs convalescent facility in late March. He was transferred to the 1st Australian Division Base Depot and returned to France in late September 1917. Four weeks later, White reported sick with both ear drums perforated, and was again admitted to the 3rd London General Hospital. This time doctors declared him permanently unfit for service.
On the battlefield, White was always a sympathetic and understanding listener. He was conscious of the need to maintain the men's morale despite the harsh conditions. White supported the use of alcohol in moderation to encourage 'friendly feelings and the knowledge that one had mates, thus building up a unit's esprit de corps'. His view was that beer 'which sometimes inebriates, always cheers'. In 1918, when asked if he thought that alcohol was ruinous to the efficiency of the army, he answered that the only ruined army he knew of was the Russian, which had prohibited drink.
After being declared permanently unfit for home or overseas service, White left for Australia on HMAT Runic on 20 December 1917. He was admitted to No. 8 Australian General Hospital (8 AGH) in Fremantle on 6 February 1918, and discharged six days later. His appointment to the AIF was then terminated.
After his discharge from the AIF, White assumed a series of positions in Melbourne and quickly became a respected, well known and hard-working priest. His first post was chaplain at Caulfield Military Hospital, and it was here that he began to grapple with the future of the Anglican Church. In speaking to the Church of England Men's Society (CEMS) in June 1918, he commented that in both England and France the Church had 'awakened'. He complained that when he returned to Australia from the battlefields of France, he found the Church 'asleep'. He likened the church to an army, and urged the 250 men in the audience to be the intelligence section. He added that: 'most of the parsons were coming back from the front red hot revolutionaries'. He considered that 'the church's opportunity was now!' And in one final word to the men of the CEMS, he urged 'Hustle!'
In June 1918 White married an ex-Army nurse, Clara Elsie Welman, known as Elsie, in Sydney. Their son, John Francis, was born in 1919. White was appointed as curate to St John's Latrobe Street Melbourne in 1919, and in 1920 he worked at Christ Church Brunswick. In May 1923 he was appointed Archdeacon of Broken Hill, serving there for over six years until his departure for Albany in late 1929.
White had always wanted to return to the south west of Western Australia, and in 1929 seized the opportunity offered. In September 1929, he was appointed rector of the Church of St John the Evangelist, Albany.
On 25 April 1930, his first Anzac Day in Albany, White started the day with a celebration of the Holy Eucharist at dawn, the time the convoys had left in 1914. In a later service, White led his parishioners on a pilgrimage to the summit of Mount Clarence, where they watched a wreath, tossed out by a boatman in the Sound, float out to sea. He believed that:
anyone could lay a wreath on a monument, but there was something beautiful about … dropping the wreath in the sea in memory of all those men who made their last contact with Australia here.
The Anzac Day service continues today.
White left St John's and Albany in 1938, becoming rector at Forbes in the Bathurst Diocese. From this position he retired to Herberton, Queensland, in May 1954. Still eager to serve, he agreed to assist the Sisters of the Sacred Advent in caring for the spiritual life of the children of St Mary's Church of England School. He died four months later on 24 September 1954.
In 1924, on the 10th Anniversary of the outbreak of the war, Archdeacon White reflected on the events of those four years, 1914 to 1918. He said:
War is a senseless way for civilian humanity to settle its differences. It releases the lower passions from restraint, spreads unhappiness everywhere and tends to exalt the power of hate into a manly virtue. . . . Ten years ago great things were done in order that a tyrannous menace might be destroyed, but these are the days when great things might be done to build up a righteous and just Commonwealth. Our men died for others. Now what is needed is the spirit that will inspire men and women to live, think and work for others.

Thank you.
Hello White, I think you have done a great job.
I would like to ask you a few questions. First of all, in World War One did you go on day shift or night shift? Second did you get to use the cannons? And last do you eat enough?
Hi Padre White, I wanted to ask you some questions. First of all, were you on day shift or night shift?
Thank you for giving your life just for us. Amen.
Thank you.
THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING OUR COUNTY. Lest we forget.

Battery problems due to bluetooth
By AT on Wednesday, June 17, 2020If you have a 2020 Toyota Camry, pay attention to the Bluetooth feature...apparently there is a software malfunction with it, and it drains your battery even with the feature turned off. Here's the best part, there's no fix for it yet. They're waiting for an ''update'' is what I was told. My car wouldn't start, and made a clicking noise with lights flashing like crazy. I was told it was due to the Bluetooth. Anyone else have this problem?

Would not but this car now.
By Matt on Friday, January 25, 2019Love Toyota. This is my 2nd Camry SE. Got it a 16% off MSRP. No complaints about price and value. HOWEVER, I regret buying this car until Toyota fixes its many flaws. Seriously -- Stop now and do not buy this car. Road noise (in PA) is awful. Technology is unexpectedly terrible: Dash controls actually are worse than last generation's (don't promote that engineer!) and the apps are way worse than you'd expect from a world class company: Really, really terrible. Camry SE performs great on the road but feels every -- and I mean every -- bump in the road. Why would you do that? (Actually, handling reminds me or my 1985 Porsche 911 -- where you turn the wheel and the car turns without delay....) Love to drive this car but Toyota, which sells millions of Camrys each year, could make the current Camry really, really special. Without a doubt, do not but this car until Toyota improves the dash controls (i.e. heat, a/c...), the smartphone technology/integration, and the ride dynamics of the current Camry. Looks great, needs improvement to be a world class car.

Good car, low ground clearance. Useless navigation
By Ken on Monday, July 22, 2019If you live where frost heaves show up in the winter and early spring be careful. The Camry has low ground clearance. The navigation system is only good for raising your stress and aggravation level. After using it for a while I removed the app from my phone and bought a garmin system. Toyota ripped of the consumer with a useless navigation system. Something I will remember when trading in the Toyota for a new car,

The billion-pixel camera
ESA's 'discovery machine' Gaia is designed to photograph one thousand million stars and hundreds of thousands of other celestial objects, so its camera will have to be something truly special.
Indeed, when Gaia lifts off from ESA's Spaceport at Kourou in French Guiana in 2013, it will be carrying the largest digital camera in the Solar System. Essentially, Gaia will survey anything in the Universe that it can lay its electronic eyes on. As it spins gently in its orbit, 1.5 million kilometres away from Earth, it will scan the entire sky for stars, planets, asteroids, distant galaxies and everything in between.
The aim is to detect every celestial object down to about a million times fainter than the unaided human eye can see. To do that, it needs a large camera. In fact, there will be 170 separate cameras in Gaia, tiled together in a mosaic to register every object that passes through the field of view.
Scientists call each individual camera a 'charge-coupled device' (CCD). An additional instrument will take the total number of CCDs to over 200.
Each CCD is itself a major piece of hi-tech kit that converts light into electrical charge and stores it in tiny traps known as 'pixels' until the computer reads out this information. With about nine million pixels, Gaia's CCDs are each between 5 and 10 times larger than those used in digital cameras currently on sale in our shops.
The size of each CCD presents some unique manufacturing challenges. Even in the purest silicon, defects can occur. Typically, with the CCDs that are used in our digital cameras on Earth, perhaps 20 or more are manufactured from the same silicon wafer and one or two rejects are tolerable.
However, the Gaia CCDs are so large that only two will fit onto each silicon wafer. So the chance of a defect occurring in a Gaia CCD is considerable.
To help refine the manufacturing process, ESA is running a prototype production line with the UK-based company e2v, who specialise in cutting-edge research quality CCDs. They are the same company that provided most of the scientific CCDs for ESA's orbiting X-ray observatory XMM-Newton.
"For XMM-Newton, e2v provided 33 flight quality CCDs. This was a major achievement, but for Gaia, we aim to fly more than 200 in all," says Alexander Short, one of Gaia's CCD experts at the European Space Technology and Research Centre (ESTEC), in the Netherlands.
Once Gaia is in space, solar activity such as solar flares and 'coronal mass ejections' could damage the CCDs and blur the images.
To minimise the effects of this 'radiation damage' during the mission, Short and colleagues are working on shielding and a number of other solutions to ensure that Gaia can become the most successful discovery machine in the history of astronomy.

Buckyballs brings us so many funs. Amazing shapes are coming by Buckyballs users.
Buckyballs users are basically scientists, looking for new and smart ways to use the high-power, Rare Earth magnet balls we can Buckyballs. In the years since we started selling them, we've seen and heard it all…. Every now and then though, we still hear something new. Some of the ideas that come across our desk are simply too good to keep secret.
And so, without further ado, our Top 34 Things to play Your Balls, as suggested by Buckyballs users. Go ahead, try a few. You'll be glad you did!
1. Use a magnetic ball as wall stud finder
2. Wear as a neodymium bracelet (some people think the magnetism can help your golf swing)
3. Play darts on office cabinets
4. Make art displays on your refrigerator
5. Use a Buckyballs tube as handsome desktop pen or business card holder
6. Use as a distraction from boredom at work (no really, it works!)
7. Neodymium spheres like Buckyballs can double as "chick magnets"
8. Dress up your cufflinks (looks good and saves your from boring meetings)"
9.Walk on a ball of Buckyballs for an instant foot massage
10. Use as a tapemeasure (216 Buckyballs = 3 feet long)

September is Dystonia Awareness Month
September 2014 marks the first unified dystonia awareness month and we are pleased to wholeheartedly support this landmark effort. Most of the schools in the USA are in session. Football and soccer are starting and many professional sports teams are preparing for their seasons. September provides many opportunities for teaming with these teams and with students. ADS strongly believes that the key to future developments in treating dystonia lies in today's students. It is of paramount importance to get them informed and involved early in life.
American Dystonia Society is pleased to be a charter member organization of Team Dystonia along with Bachmann-Strauss Parkinsons and Dystonia Foundation and Tyler's Hope for a Dystonia Cure. Team Dystonia seeks to empower organizations and individuals to be part of a team with the singular purpose of promoting awareness for dystonia
What is Dystonia?
Debilitating pain and/or compromised muscular function are the common symptoms of everyone suffering from Dystonia. Dystonia can strike at any age, from birth and infancy to well into adulthood. Dystonia can be caused by genetic mutations, reactions to drugs, or traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI can be a mild concussion, mild to severe head trauma such as those suffered in an auto accident or other severe incidents, any brain injury as a result of stroke, aneurysm, carbon monoxide poisoning, brain infection (such as encephalitis or meningitis), or complications from neurosurgery.
Dystonia is a hyperkinetic movement disorder which manifests itself broadly and often makes accurate diagnosis difficult. It may be characterized by rapid, jerky movements/spasms or sustained postures or subtle symptoms like twitches, tics, vocal changes, or tremors. It is sometimes confused with the more widely known Parkinson's Disease, which is a hypokinetic disorder, characterized by slow movements.
Without a cure or universally effective treatments, anyone diagnosed with Dystonia faces major life struggles for the patient and loved ones. Often accompanied by extreme pain and/or disability, a Dystonia patient faces a lifetime of ongoing medical care for those lucky enough to respond to treatment.
Dystonia on-line petition is live September 1-30, 2014
September 2014 Marks the First Unified Dystonia Awareness Month and We Seek official White House Recognition
Throughout the month of September, we are asking everyone to sign an on-line petition through We, the People that urges the White House to support government recognition of September as Dystonia Awareness Month in the USA. We need 100,000 signatures to guarantee White House support.

American Dystonia Society Mission Statement
American Dystonia Society (ADS) is dedicated to advancing Dystonia research by promoting patient advocacy and increasing public awareness of this debilitating disorder. Our top priority is to maximize delivery of donations and grants to fund Dystonia Programs in order to realize a cure and develop more effective diagnosis/medication/treatment protocols for Dystonia. ADS is dedicated to improving the quality of life for a person living with Dystonia.
American Dystonia Society Philosophy
The American Dystonia Societys (ADS) operational goal is to increase total funding for Dystonia research to critical mass of $25M per year by 2020. Because ADS has demonstrated its ability to operate with razor thin overhead which are covered by the directors, ADS is able to guarantee a 100% fiscal commitment of all other donations to advocacy, awareness, support, and research.
We maintain a virtual presence to keep expenses extremely low. ADS Board Members maintain home offices which eliminates the need to lease office space and associated office expenses.
ADS makes use of available 21st century technology to reach the general public and the Dystonia Community. We eliminate the costs of conferences and symposiums and the associated costs of travel.
ADS will NEVER require membership dues or fees from Dystonia patients who have sizable medical expenses. We will NEVER solicit donations from those we seek to help. ADS will NEVER make a profit in sales of any awareness or support materials from the community it aims to support.
We will constantly seek new levels of efficiency, collaboration, & growth.
Our Board of Directors is an all-volunteer diverse group of individuals with Dystonia working together toward a common goal.
Our Medical Board boasts some of the top movement disorder neurologists, neuroradiologists, and neurosurgeons but will include primary care physicians to help strategize how frontline caregivers can speed up the Dystonia diagnosis, sparing months or years of pain .
ADS will recognize local affiliates' need to raise funds for medical research or local patient support. ADS will ensure that local sections' needs to support patients take precedent over our national goals.
Fortified with an empathetic sensitivity and dissatisfied with the continuing difficulties of diagnosis and treatment; the Society shares the Communitys passion for common goals. ADS will honor and advance each effort towards a marked acceleration in applicable research without preference for a particular type of Dystonia.
The American Dystonia Society aspires to be accessible, practical, relevant, and compassionate; mentoring the newly diagnosed and long term Dystonians in need. Additionally, ADS intends to aid Dystonians through the eventual designation of needs based personal grants raised through local fundraising.
ADS is fiscally responsible to its benefactors, donors, and the Dystonia Community. Regular financial reports will be published on this web site as well as all IRS filings. Expenses will be individually itemized to provide 100% transparency into its operating costs. All expenses will be thoroughly documented. ADS will release all 990 filings immediately. To view our IRS 2010 990 Filing, click here.
American Dystonia Society is a member of the Dystonia Coalition, an international consortia of Dystonia patient advocacy groups, research centers, and clinical centers of excellence, dedicated to dystonia research. Click on the Dystonia Coalition logo on the immediate left to visit their site.
American Dystonia Society is more than a foundation. It is a society of Dystonia patients, caregivers, loved ones, and medical practitioners who provide mutual support for each other. ADS recognizes the diversity of the disorder and everyone it affects. It is a foundation powered by the caring and compassion of its members, all of whose lives have been affected by Dystonia.
About the Artwork This was painted by Deb Friedson, a fellow Dystonian, who can still paint wonderful works of art. This one particular piece captured the spirit of many people with Dystonia. On the full sized print, which is available at our photo store, many names of members of the American Dystonia Society are written as well as many of the desires of Dystonia Community. Many Dystonians have related to this artwork and has served to be ADS's symbol and rallying point for many in the Dystonia community.

Historic Citizens Bank Building
Once a robber, twice a robber
On October 8, 1932, what was then First State Bank of Cedar Hill, on the corner of Houston and Cedar streets, was robbed by Raymond Hamilton, a sidekick of notorious bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde.
After taking the money, he locked employees in the vault and made his getaway. When Hamilton got wind of reports that some of the cash had been hidden during the first robbery, he returned to rob the bank again.
As with most crimes that occurred during that time, any connection to Clyde Barrow or Bonnie Parker, however remote, was dramatized. Reports of shots fired during the First State Bank robbery persisted over the years, but contrary to local legend, no shots were fired during the Cedar Hill event.
In fact, following the second heist, Hamilton was gone from the scene more than 30 minutes before anyone knew the bank had been robbed, an unfortunate consequence of having better secured the vault following the first robbery. Bank employees forced inside the vault waited hours before being rescued.
This was fortunate for Hamilton, because his stolen car broke down about a mile out of town. Stranded on the roadside, Raymond Hamilton waited until two local farmers drove by and kidnapped them to make his escape. Hamilton, who always considered himself a gentleman bandit, stopped to get the farmers lunch before he let them go.
The consecutive robberies took a toll on the bank, causing it to fall into financial ruin and ultimately close its doors for good.
Raymond Hamilton was incarcerated at Eastham Prison in Lovelady, Texas on other charges when, on January 17, 1934, his partners, Bonnie and Clyde, broke him out of jail.
The gang is known to have had an old hide out on the south edge of Cedar Hill and scattered places in the Mountain Creek Valley. Hamilton was later re-captured on April 24, 1934, after robbing the bank in nearby Lewisville, Texas.
Reports of Bonnie and Clyde encounters were quite common during their reign of crime, especially in North Texas, and their legend lived on long after they were gunned down by Louisiana lawmen in 1934. In fact, stories were still being recounted years later by locals such as Ellis County resident, Ray Cavender, who reported his encounter with Bonnie Parker to Fort Worth Star-Telegram staff writer David Casstevens in 2009. Although 75 years had passed since he crossed paths with the duo, the episode was still vivid in his mind.
The building where the robbery took place still stands at 515 Cedar Street in Historic Downtown and is the current home of Cedar Hill Barbers.
Originally Citizens Bank of Cedar Hill, it was built circa 1904 by J. M. Ramsey and "other men of means and influence," including George Riddle and Robert G. Brandenburg. The one-story brick commercial building with its ornate corner entry feature, had two chimneys spaced along the east elevation.
The bank was chartered as the First Guaranty State Bank in 1913 and operated under that name until 1926 when it was changed to the First State Bank, then reopened as a bank in 1963 with the name of First Bank and Trust.
Since its construction, the building has housed various commercial ventures including furniture, insurance, a title company, law, dental and medical offices, a gallery and, most recently, a barber shop.
In March of 2008 the bank was designated as a historic resource by the City of Cedar Hill and the building bears an official medallion indicating its significance. The bank is part of the 2.2-mile, self-guided walking trail of historic Old Town Cedar Hill. The old safe is still intact inside the barber shop and they welcome visitor's to stop in and take a look inside.

Petters associate acknowledges criminal past
Federal prosecutors Monday put another key witness on the stand in the fraud trial of businessman Tom Petters, who stands accused of ripping off investors for about $3.5 billion in a Ponzi scheme.
Testifying against Petters was Larry Reynolds. He ran a company that helped Petters make it look like Petters was buying billions of dollars worth of consumer electronics.
Petters sent Reynolds $12 billion ostensibly in payment for goods shipped to Petters, but Reynolds said the goods didn't exist. Reynolds said he took a small percentage of the money and sent the rest back to Petters. Reynolds said he made between $4 and $5 million in so-called commissions.
Petters' defense team tried to portray Reynolds as a leader of the fraud. Reynolds acknowledged he is a disbarred lawyer and convicted felon with a history of engaging in fraud schemes. Petters' attorneys contend Petters is innocent and other people carried out the fraud behind his back.
On Tuesday, the accountant for the Petters company at the heart of the alleged fraud will take the stand. He's agreed to testify against Petters, hoping he'll receive a reduced sentence for his cooperation.

Wildlife Services: Leaked Audit Shows Fiscal Confusion
Via NRDC's Melissa Waage: An unreleased, internal audit at USDA's secretive Wildlife Services division uncovered big accounting problems, including $12 million missing from its coffers, the LA Times revealed yesterday. This new information comes as USDA's Inspector General prepares to conduct a congressionally-requested audit of the agency's practices. The Times reports that The [internal Wildlife Services] audit found the agency's accounting practices were "unreconcilable," lacked transparency and violated state and federal laws. Further, the audit revealed that $12 million… Continue reading

There's nowhere on Earth like the Jemaa el Fna, the square at the heart of old Marrakesh. The focus of the evening promenade for locals, the Jemaa is a heady blend of alfresco food bazaar and street theatre: for as long as you're in town, you'll want to come back here again and again.
Goings-on in the square by day merely hint at the evening's spectacle. Breeze through and you'll stumble upon a few snake charmers, tooth pullers and medicine men plying their trade, while henna tattooists offer to paint your hands with a traditional design. In case you're thirsty, water sellers dressed in gaudy costumes – complete with enormous bright red hats – vie for your custom alongside a line of stalls offering orange and grapefruit juice, pressed on the spot. Around dusk, however, you'll find yourself swept up in a pulsating circus of performers. There are acrobats from the Atlas Mountains, dancers in drag and musicians from a religious brotherhood called the Gnaoua, chanting and beating out rhythms late into the night with their clanging iron castanets. Other groups play Moroccan folk music, while storytellers, heirs to an ancient tradition, draw raucous crowds to hear their tales.
In their midst dozens of food stalls are set up, lit by gas lanterns and surrounded by delicious-smelling plumes of cooking smoke. Here you can partake of spicy harira soup, try charcoal-roasted kebabs or merguez sausage, or, if you're really adventurous (and hungry), a whole sheep's head, including the eyes – all beneath the looming presence of the floodlit, perfectly proportioned Koutoubia minaret to the west, making a backdrop without compare.
The rooftop terraces of the Café de France and Restaurant Argana afford great views over the Jemaa el Fna. Be aware that pickpockets operate in the square; usual cautions apply.

Ghost River Brewing Tour
I got an invitation recently from the good folks at Slow Food Memphis to attend a brewery tour and beer tasting at Ghost River Brewing in Downtown Memphis. Checked with my buddy Paul, and the words "free beer" had barely left my mouth before he agreed to come along.
Pictured here is founder of the brewery and co-founder of local brewpub Bosco's, Chuck Skypeck. He led us on the tour, and about every fifteen minutes, made sure that a new tray of cold beer samples was distributed throughout the crowd. We all became big fans of Chuck.
He spoke a lot about the importance of water in brewing beer, and how local differences in minerals and hardness/softness of the water are responsible for the varied styles around the world, from the thick dark Irish stouts to the light and refreshing Czech pilsners. Other components are also key to making beer with real flavor (something this country ignored for a big chunk of the 20th century), principally malts and hops. The former is produced from sprouted barley, and the latter is a cousin of the marijuana plant that provides flavor, bitterness, preservative qualities, and a low-level soporific effect. So if you've ever gotten relaxed and tired after a couple of beers, now you know why.
Brewery tours are a lot of fun because the schedule of production from start to finish is on the order of days and weeks, not months and years as with wine. Since beer production is not tied to the seasons or centered around a harvest, it's just as interesting to take a tour in the winter as in the summer. And good breweries tend to have interesting memorabilia and history in them, like this collection of old beer cans, trays, and steins from all over the country.
Since I've been writing about green winemaking a lot recently, it's important to note that a portion of all sales go to the Wolf River Conservancy in the interest of preserving the water quality that is so important to brewing quality beer here in the Mid-South.
Here one of the brewery employees taps a keg of Hefeweizen, an unfiltered German style of beer.
Ghost River currently produces four varieties, and I sampled all of them:
Ghost River Golden was presented in its not-quite-finished state, but was still delicious. Just lightly bitter, moderate body, and probably the easiest to transition to if you're used to macrobrew lagers.
Ghost River Hefeweizen had classic citrus flavors and spice aromas. Think cloves stuck in an orange around the holidays. It tastes great plain, but some people like to serve it with a slice of lemon or orange. Do whatever makes you happy.
Ghost River Brown Ale reminded me a little of Newcastle, in that it's nutty with touches of coffee and chocolate flavor.
Ghost River Glacial Pale Ale was my favorite, because I love a good hoppy beer with a decent bitter profile. Toasty, full-bodied, with a crisp finish.
You can purchase Ghost River beer at the brewery in a half gallon jug, a 5 gallon keg, or a 15.5 gallon keg. Or check out one of the many bars and restaurants around town that have begun carrying this hometown beer.

I had SEVERAL Ghost River Golden Ales at Young Avenue Deli in the Cooper/Young district and I have to say it was Incredible! What a gem of a local beer and it helps the Wolf River COnservancy?!?! Hell, Think Globally, Drink Locally!!

Memphis Finest,
Glad to hear from a local fan! I sort of grew up on the Bosco's beers made on site at the now-closed Germantown location, and gained an early appreciation for beers that had real flavor, personality, and were brewed just a few feet from where I was sitting.
I'm happy to see that so many Memphis restaurants have started carrying Ghost River.

green beerThis phrase goes to context and experience. :-) What I mean is that when I read those words I think of Budweiser not the environment.
When TWC was a vagrant yoot we always thought that Bud tasted like it was 'green'. Green beer. We didn't realize that it is rice beer, which is the flavor we associated with the beer that we knew something was wrong with.

Can't get used to this new blogger tweak that screws up the paragraph spacing in the comments.

I don't really see the term taking off anytime soon, but it seemed like a good fit for this post. :)
I've been to the Budweiser brewery in St. Louis and the Coors brewery in Golden, but the small facility tours are always so much more interesting. It's great that these days you can find decent local beer in most parts of the country as long as you're willing to ask for it. It's also great when a local beer is able to go national without compromising quality--think Shiner and Fat Tire.

I'm with you on the hoppy beer front, my favorite is Stone Brewing IPA, great for everyday drinking...do you have Stone in your area? I know they have it in Louisville so I'm guessing they have it in your area as well. If you are ever in San Diego you should take a tour there, cool place, great beers and really good food!

Stone's a good one. We don't get the full range of beers here, but the more popular ones like Arrogant Bastard are easy to find. I reviewed it back in 2006.

How long can you actually "talk" to someone?
After talking to a few females, they all disagree with me but I know why they're disagreeing with me. How long can you "talk" to someone? Realistically, how long can you just "talk" to someone before you realize that you two are just fuck buddies who can't let go or move forward? In my opinion after three months of talking to someone with no title or word on what's going on, you two are just fuck buddies. I just don't believe that two adults can just be casually spending time together and fucking for a long period of time. Fool, this isn't college. When will one of you decide to be together and make a future? The woman is the one who usually plays backseat in this situation waiting on the guy. At what point does somebody stop and say this has to change? I believe people get comfortable.
Too many people getting their emotions wrapped up in casual sex friends and become hurt if it doesn't have the cliché Disney happy ending. You can't date someone forever. It's like counting months. Your baby can't be 234 months old. At one point it has to stop. Why do we date? To get to know someone, enjoy ones company and feel them out; right? If that's so, if it takes you more than 6 months to feel someone out and make a decision on if you want to be with them you might want to hang it up. That person isn't for you. If it takes someone longer than 6 months to commit then that's also a problem. These days though, you don't even have to commit.
You can get whatever you want from a casual friend if you're a guy such as sex, gifts, company, etc. So, is it a point in getting a title? What can you do differently if we add this title? You already give me the world without me saying I'm yours. You giving me your all while I'm still on the market. You are giving me the world while I'm still community property! Ladies you need to stop being dumb in the name of love and faith. Having faith that even though you do any and everything for someone who isn't yours that they'll come around and will be yours. The shit doesn't always have a perfect ending if ever and when you do that you come out the victim with yourself to blame. But can someone tell me, how long can you just "talk" to someone or "date". Be realistic with me now. -Dizzy

QuoteAny input or ideas as to what might be wrong with my code?first, this is impossible:int j=5000;int only goes to 255 . . . make it a long int . . .same for i
I think the problem is that you update the servo position at the end of the scanning loops. You must update it inside the loop.Can you post the code you are running now ? I'm a bit lost with your modification
rprintf("Servo_Position=%d%d\r\n", wheel_left);
All It shows is "System Warming up" and "Initialization Complete" which is odd since I only modded it a bit from what I was using in a previous test...
Admin, what type of code did you use for those ERP and movement demos where only the arms would move and such? I just wanna see a sample so I can tell maybe what I'm doing wrong.
void scan2(void) { long unsigned int i=0; long unsigned int wheel_left=500; for(i=0;i<500;i++) { wheel_left=350; wheel_left(wheel_left); delay_ms(10); rprintf("Wheel_Value=%d%d\r\n",wheel_left); } }void scan1(void) { long unsigned int i=0; long unsigned int wheel_left=500; for(i=0;i<500;i++) { wheel_left=900; wheel_left(wheel_left); delay_ms(10); rprintf("Wheel_Value=%d%d\r\n",wheel_left); } }
void control(void) { scan2(); scan1(); }
for(i=0;i<500;i++) { wheel_left=350; wheel_left(wheel_left); delay_ms(10); rprintf("Wheel_Value=%d%d\r\n",wheel_left); }
long int i=0;long int j=0;void servo1(signed int position) { PORT_ON(PORTA,7); delay_ms(position); PORT_OFF(PORTA,7); }void servo2(signed int position) { PORT_ON(PORTE,6); delay_ms(position); PORT_OFF(PORTE,6); }void scan(void) { for(j=0;j<500;j++) { for(i=500;i>0;i++) { servo1(2); servo2(1); delay_ms(20); } } for(j=0;j<500;j++) { for(i=500;i>0;i++) { servo1(1); servo2(2); delay_ms(20); } } }
void control(void) { while(1) { scan(); } }
My batteries are Alkaline batteries.
If it can't supply enough current, why do the servos work fine with the servo controller?
Also, what type of current rating should I looks for? I suppose I'd plan to use this for around 10 servos atleast (I plan on making a Quadruped robot).
Quote from: Canabots on May 13, 2009, 07:48:19 PMIf it can't supply enough current, why do the servos work fine with the servo controller?hmmmm good point lol . . .
Can you explain exactly what you servos are doing wrong in more detail? (assuming it's changed from the first post)

ORLANDO, Fla. – Thousands are pouring into the Central Florida theme parks for New Year's Eve celebrations on Tuesday as Magic Kingdom has closed to some guests due to capacity.
[PICS: Parks packed with guests]
According to WDWMagic.com, at Magic Kingdom, some guests had to be turned away less than 2 hours after the park opened as part of phased closings.
As of Tuesday afternoon, resort guests, annual passholders and people with certain reservations are being allowed in the Magic Kingdom. People trying to buy their tickets at the gate on Tuesday are being turned away and being encouraged to visit other Disney parks.
To make up for the inconvenience, Disney is giving the turned away guests free parking and 50 percent off of dining, according to WDWMagic.com.
Some lines are as long as four hours to ride one attraction. Guests can monitor wait times by downloading the My Disney Experience App.
