I found a MM35 and hooked it up.
The wire feeds super slow out of the Tweco #4 gun. The wire feed knob works, but even the 100% speed is too slow. It does not appear to be a problem with the gun liner. Feed motor brushes look good.
I poked around the inside and 2 of the large diodes are shot, one open, one shorted.
I'm replacing them tomorrow, do you think that the diodes somehow will also fix the wire speed problem?

Replacing the two 150A 300v reverse polarity diodes fixed the problem.

Hey just read your post.
Just for clarification the large diodes do not affect the wire speed control circuitry. By replacing those 2 diodes you fixed the bridge rectifier that controls the DC voltage output that creates your welding arc. With those 2 diodes not functioning, your welder does not create the necessary voltage to make a hot enough arc to weld properly. You may have misinterpreted this as bad wire speed.
I was just troubleshooting a MM35 that wasn't creating a proper arc, and I also felt that wire speed felt funky. After reading your post I decided to test the diodes for proper function. I too ran into 2 bad diodes. . . one shorted, one open. Thanks for posting your issue, it gave me a new avenue to test. That ended up being my power issue.

From what others have posted, the MM 35 powers the drive roller motor off of the DC welding output through a rheostat. So bad DC welding output will impact feed speeds.

Yes, the bad diodes really did slow the wire feed down to a crawl. Just looking at the drive gear spinning, I could tell it was way too slow.
My local Miller dealer did not stock the diodes, so I got them from Galco for $18 each and they arrived 2 days later. The reverse diodes are part # 037-306.
My dealer said they often fail in pairs. The first shorts out, then the other burns open when it can't handle the current by itself.
The welder is flying now, built 1/2 a trailer today with it.

slow wire speed on a mm 35
For 25 years I used .035 and .030 wire and this Miller matic 35 only welds at the 100 speed by lowering the speed---I just put a new liner---for .030 and it remains the same ----it only burns the wire back into the tip. Can you tell me how to diagnose and test the diodes -----and if you have a phone number ________of a source to buy them after testing is convincingly definitely the problem . Feel free to call me Thanks, Don 585-352-1165

*LOL* Like I said, do whatever u want.
Honestly, THE VERY DAY this thread was created Rummy sent me a PM:
"Doc, the whole reason Corn created that sock thread was to expose the Betamax/Todd connection!!"
It's time for you to be honest with your fellow Cornerites Todd.
Just do it man, guilty or innocent, just confess.
Well, I already stated my position on it and I'm not going to turn back it man. I never met Beta in my life, thus there is nothing to confess. OK, if u still want to go down this road. Let's play. Let's say u are right. If Beta and I were working together to hijack this board:
1) What are our crimes? What exactly is our objective?
2) Where is your proof? U seem to have a lot of time on your hands and u seem to recall everything I write. Go ahead and dig all the shit up and let the jury decide. Present your case Mr. Lawyer man. Don't start making accusations without a smoking gun.
Boy, I wish my students would hang on to my every word like these 2 guys; they'd do so much better in their exams.

Tuesday, May 04, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 4, 2004) - In the latest NCAA Division I baseball statistics, released Tuesday, East Tennessee State junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) leads the nation in batting average and doubles. Moore is batting .475 on the season while Keith Stegbauer of Central Connecticut State is second at .459. Caleb has hit 23 doubles in 41 games, averaging .56 per game. Vanderbilt's Warner Jones is a close second with .55 doubles per game. He is threatening several marks in the ETSU and SoCon record books. Moore is just two points shy of the conference batting average record, which is .477 by Appalachian State's Randy Ingle in 1979. Caleb is already just three doubles shy of tying the SoCon record, held by several players with 26. Moore is on pace to shatter the Buccaneer record for highest season batting average, held by Steve Meredith who hit .419 in 1988. He is also on pace to break Andy Baxter's single-season doubles record (25 in 2001) and could also threaten Nathan Copeland's record for total bases in a season (159, 2001). Caleb is currently on pace to finish second in ETSU history with his .766 slugging percentage and .528 on-base percentage. He leads the Southern Conference in both of those categories. Moore was named Southern Conference Player of the Week on Monday after batting .579 last and leading the Bucs to a 4-0 record against Virginia Tech and The Citadel. He is currently in the middle of a 10-game hitting streak while recording multiple hits in nine-straight games. Over those nine games, Moore is batting an incredible .628 with 27 hits in 43 at bats. The Bucs return to action Wednesday night at 7 p.m. EST against Tennessee Tech from Cookeville, Tenn. ETSU's next home game will take place on May 18 at 7 p.m., also against Tennessee Tech.

Bird's Eye: xkcd looks at popular Christmas songs, and finds it's all the Boomers' fault. Brilliant research.

Most Americans may not realize it, but the Fourth of July is one of the deadliest holidays of the year due to alcohol-impaired driving crashes. Why? Often Fourth of July celebrations start during the day, but last well into the night. The amount of alcohol that one can consume during a day-long party or celebration can drastically impair the motor skills needed to drive safely. Add the fact that other impaired drivers are on the road, and that one's visual skills decrease at night, you have a recipe for disaster.
That's why this Fourth of July law enforcement throughout Santa Clara County is stepping up enforcement efforts as part of the ongoing Avoid the 13 DUI Task Force, joining thousands of agencies statewide in the "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" enforcement crackdown to catch and arrest impaired drivers who put themselves and others at risk. The Santa Clara Police Department will be conducting roving DUI saturation patrols on Friday, July 4 and Saturday, July 5.
The Avoid the 13 DUI Task Force recommends these simple tips for a safe Fourth of July:
• Plan a safe way home before the fun begins;
• Before drinking, designate a sober driver;
• If you're impaired, use a taxi, call a sober friend or family member, or use public transportation;
• If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don't hesitate to report it - Call 9-1-1
• If you know someone who is about to drive or ride while impaired, take their keys and help them make other arrangements to get to where they are going safely.
Funding for the California Avoid DUI Campaign is provided through a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration who reminds everyone to report drunk drivers and call 9-1-1.

Dec. 14, 2010 -- Local and state health departments are better prepared than ever to deal with public health emergencies, but recession-related budget cuts threaten to reverse hard-won gains, a newly released analysis finds.
The readiness of individual states to handle large-scale public health emergencies was assessed in the eighth annual report, "Ready or Not? Protecting the Public's Health from Diseases, Disasters, and Bioterrorism," commissioned by the health advocacy groups Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Fourteen states met at least nine of 10 key indicators of emergency preparedness, while three states -- Arkansas, North Dakota, and Washington -- met all 10.
Iowa and Montana had the lowest scores, meeting just five of the 10 indicators.
"These scores reflect nearly 10 years of progress to improve how the nation prevents, identifies and contains new disease outbreaks and bioterrorism threats and responds to the aftermath of natural disasters in the wake of the September 11, 2001 and anthrax tragedies," Trust for America's Health Executive Director Jeffrey Levi, PhD, said in a Tuesday morning press conference.
More than three-quarters of states met at least seven of the 10 indicators, but Levi warned that budget cuts at the national, state, and local level may have already impacted readiness to respond to public health emergencies such as disease outbreaks, natural disasters, or acts of terrorism that impact public health.
Among the ominous signs:
Levi points out that the cuts would have been much worse without one-time funding infusions to public health from the 2009 stimulus bill and emergency appropriations for the H1N1 outbreak.
He added that the cuts are now hitting home and their potential impact cannot be overstated.
"The combined federal, state, and local budget cuts constitute an emergency for emergency health preparedness in the U.S.," he said.
In addition to maintaining funding for public health programs, the 10 indicators included in the analysis examined the ability of state and local health departments to gather and share information and respond to a prolonged emergencies affecting public health, among other measures.
Among the major findings:
James S. Blumenstock, who is chief program officer for the Association of States and Territorial Health Officials, said the response to the 2009 H1N1 swine flu outbreak highlights the progress that has been made in emergency preparedness during the past decade.
"The response showed that the country was much better prepared to respond to a pandemic than it would have been just a few short years ago," he said. "In a short period of time the vaccine was developed and we were able to vaccinate 80 million Americans."
Blumenstock echoed Levy's concerns about the impact of budget cuts on public health emergency readiness, noting that federal funds for public health preparedness have been cut by 27% since 2005.
He called on federal lawmakers to resist slashing public health funding even further.
"Cuts in federal support are putting more than a decade of gains at risk at a time when the states are trying to cope with daunting and formidable budget shortfalls of their own," he said.

AECOM's Giant Amusement Park in Seoul Wins International Competition
Seoul, Korea's existing Grand Park is a basic big city park with trails, playgrounds, an art museum and a zoo. But major plans by design and engineering firm AECOM to transform the area into a mammoth theme park have just been released, snagging them the big win in an international competition for a concept design and feasibility study for the park. The proposal, called Gaia: The Living World, comes to life in renderings showing lush gardens, waterfalls, natural animal habitats, high-flying rides and roller coasters which look like they'd be a ton of fun. The design also incorporates a 'whole systems approach' and a closed-loop resource plan to use water, energy and materials efficiently.
In terms of sustainable features, AECOM writes, "Outputs from the urban agriculture [will] become inputs for the park's cafes while animal byproducts will be processed in a bio gas system generating energy for site uses." Water management has also been worked into the plan and the site will strive to capture, store, infiltrate and re-use every drop of water that they can. Bioswale filtration, detention channels and storage areas are some of the techniques that will be implemented.
Hopefully by the time it is built, the park will also include solar panels on roofs, wind turbines in the savannah, and a comprehensive recycling program.

Bottle Shock
In 1976, a small American winery bested the exalted French wines of the time and sent the wine industry into a tizzy--putting California wines on the map for good. Based on a true story, "Bottle Shock" chronicles the events leading up to the famous "Judgment of Paris" tastings, told through the lives of father and son, Jim and Bo Barrett. A former real estate attorney, Jim has sacrificed everything to realize his dream of creating the perfect hand-crafted chardonnay. His business, however, is struggling, and he's not only trying to overcome differences with his slacker son, but is also fighting off the creditors. Meanwhile in Paris, unwitting British wine shop owner Steven Spurrier hopes to revive his own failing business by sponsoring a competition which will pit the traditional French powerhouse against the California upstarts. Little did Steven and Jim realize that they were both on course to change the history of wine forever.

- Independent
- The Enterprise
- The Recorder
A former Great Mills High School social studies teacher acknowledged Monday in court that prosecutors have evidence to support a charge against him of sexually abusing a girl who was in his care.
A judge told Lowell A. Johnson, now 65, of Lexington Park that the charge carries a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison, and that Johnson may remain free on bond while the court awaits the completion of a presentence investigation.
Police were notified last summer, St. Mary's Assistant State's Attorney Julie White said during Monday's plea hearing, of an allegation that Johnson abused the girl when she was 10 years old. The investigation revealed there were four additional victims, the prosecutor said, including one girl who alleged she repeatedly had sexual relations with Johnson.
St. Mary's detectives filed initial district court charging papers alleging that Johnson engaged in sexual conduct with two children who were in his care as a foster parent, during offenses dating back to 2006. Investigators said that no foster children were living with Johnson when he was arrested last September, and that the two former foster children listed in the charging documents had reached adulthood.
At Monday's plea hearing, White said that Johnson told detectives that his hand "accidentally" may have penetrated the girl listed in this week's plea agreement, but that he denied allegations that he had sexual relations with a girl making that claim or that he had any sexual contact whatsoever with three of the girls.
Robert Harvey, Johnson's lawyer, said at the hearing that his client agrees only that the prosecution's witnesses would testify about allegations concerning the girl referenced in the plea agreement.
"Mr. Johnson does not admit the conduct outlined here, that those things really happened," Harvey said.
The school system placed Johnson, a 36-year employee, on leave with pay after his arrest on Sept. 7 last year. At the time a school official said he was entitled to that employment status until the charges against him were resolved in court.
St. Mary's public schools' fiscal services and human resources office said Tuesday that Johnson no longer worked for the school system and had not been paid since Sept. 21, 2012.

THREE OR MORE TUESDAY: If Three Are Good Then Five Are Better
Here I have 3 cute little birdies that I bought on one of my coffee group's road trips. Oh how I long for the nice weather when we pile into a couple of cars and traipse around to different shops, restaurants and places of interest. We find the most interesting places. I bought it to put next to my kitchen sink to hold my scrubber and strainer for the drain.
It is no longer there but in the main bathroom because while taking pictures of Heidi's stained glass pieces on display in Maple Ridge Florist I came upon it's bigger sister piece. If 3 is good then 5 is better. I took my sponge and other stuff out of it so you could see it better. I think they are so cute I don't even mind doing dishes. Pfffffffft, ya right.

The birds on those dishes are very cute; it's nice that they are a utilitarian item that you can use daily.

I was surprised to see these dishes on your post because I have two that are almost identical! And what is more ironic, I had no idea what to put in them or where to use them until I was at a friends home and she had it by her kitchen sink filled with her soap and sponges, so that is where mine is. The five birdie one is still looking for a place and a purpose.
As usual, your post was filled with a lot of humor!! :-D!!!!

Oh I love those birdie dishes. Now I'll have to be on the hunt for one. What a great idea to keep your items at the kitchen sink in them. I NEED one.
Have a wonderful week,

Christmas in Wonderland
It's turning out to be a pretty rotten Christmas for the Saunders family. Having just moved to a new city from Los Angeles, they have no friends, no money and, with the exception of the bright-eyed Mary, no Christmas spirit. To make matters worse, their mother is stuck in L.A., stranded by airline overbookings. So, the Christmas shopping duties fall on Dad and the gloomy kids. Things start looking a bit more like Christmas when 12-year old Brian and six-year old Mary find a satchel of money at the local mall and they launch a Yuletide shopping spree...that is, until the crooks who counterfeited the money chase them through the mall packed with holiday shoppers.

Intelligence to get you where you need to be.
In a highly competitive industry where the difference between profit and loss is measured in pennies per mile, intelligence is critical. Without access to the kind of information it takes to run a safe, profitable and compliant fleet you're basically driving with your eyes closed.
XRS Trucking Intelligence will get you where you need to be.
With our mobile EOBR solution, you'll have anytime, anywhere access to fleet management reporting features like:
- 395.15 compliant e-logs for HOS tracking
- e-DVIR
- Automated fuel tax reporting (IFTA)
- Driver scorecards
- Driver safety scores
- GPS tracking & mapping
- Blackbox reporting
- Forms messaging
- Alerts & reporting
- And more
XRS EOBR: The intelligent option.
Protect yourself against rapid advances in technologies.
Technology is evolving at a lightning fast pace.
The domes your competitors bolted onto their trucks two years ago?
Ancient history.
Eliminating significant OBC hardware investments and time-consuming training and implementation means XRS mobile EOBRs give you the freedom to upgrade to the latest smartphones and tablets whenever you need to.
Avoid being trapped on aging wireless networks.
We live in a connected age—and with it, comes a voracious appetite for data. In fact, the demand for data capacity grew 300% last year.
To keep pace with accelerating consumer demand, mobile communications carriers are continuously transitioning to new wireless networks. As they do, they invest less and less to support older bands of spectrum and, eventually, phase them out altogether.
Our mobile EOBR solution runs on whatever network your devices of choice run on, meaning that as the major carriers upgrade their networks, you get to go along for the ride.
Simplify your fleet management systems.
Data silos cost you time and money.
If your fleet management system isn't integrated with your dispatch, routing and POD applications, your staff is burning time and money jumping from system to system in an effort to get a reasonably complete picture of your business.
With an XRS mobile EOBR platform, integration of third-party systems is seamless, streamlining the flow of critical information.
Easy to install. Easy to learn. Easy to use.
Easy to install.
Installing our 395.15 compliant EOBR is simple and painless.
Just attach the hockey puck-sized XRS Relay to a truck's dash with adhesive strips and connect it the vehicle's engine through its diagnostic port.
No holes to drill.
And no hassle.
Easy to learn.
Getting drivers up to speed on XRS is easy.
The XRS EOBR Learning Lab, developed in partnership with Capella Learning Solutions, provides drivers with video-based online courses, lesson tracking, certifications and administrative reporting, whenever they need it and wherever they are.
Easy to use.
Engine data is transferred from the XRS Relay to a driver's mobile device via Bluetooth, and from there it gets fed into the XRS system, combined with other mission-critical information including elogs, pre- and post-trip vehicle inspections, and served up as intuitive and easy to understand reports in our fleet management system.
In short, our rock solid cloud-based system instantly puts drivers and fleet managers on the same page.
Freedom and efficiency.
The XRS EOBR solution gives drivers the freedom to work in and out of the cab.
Now, they can:
- Document maintenance issues while walking around their trucks and trailers, ensuring DVIRs are 100% accurate
- Hand their mobile devices to law enforcement officers for incredibly fast hours of service compliance checks
- Respond to home office messages from the comfort of their favorite truck stop.
Simple. Efficient. Cost-effective.

A couple of items I find I am always looking for:
Marking Pens / Silverstreak
Nozzle Dip
Extension cable (I run a heavy duty 220 V)
Sammy, everyone is different man. What I think would be important may not be what the next guy thinks should be there. The best advice I can give, would be to make a snatch folder on your desktop. Then you can build sub folders within that folder labeled to different projects. Every time you see something cool you can (save as) to the folder of choice, and its super easy to find all the cool pics you have saved. That way when you want to look for good ideas, they aren't far away.
When I first started I just had to have a cart right now, so I built one. Don't get me wrong, the cart got out of control fast with all the stuff I thought I needed. It was not a total loss since it gave me good practice.
Look and look and look some more, there is many years of thought on this site. With that much experience there is some really great ideas.
Myself, I keep 3 lids on my cart. Two hang on the front are both auto-dark and a fixed shade #3 for the plasma sits on top of the welder. Other then that I have a couple plastic bins, since I didn't have material at the time. I also keep my 220 cords on my cart.
All the other stuff is in a neat little cart I got on sale at HF.

Something I WOULD NOT want on a cart
One item that no one mentioned, that has come up before is a fold-out shelf to lay things on. BAD PLAN!! If you do make one, the day will come when you just need to touch up something with the grinder. No matter how dedicated we try to be, that "just a quick touch-up" will occur. You do not want that grinding dust in or near your welder.
Best of luck with the project.

I like big wheels for "off-road" use. Pneumatic or "flat free" tires so it doesn't rattle when going off-road.
Cable reels or racks...never fails to be rolling along and have a cable sneak under a wheel to bring things to a screeching halt.
If you plan on being mobile quite a bit, balance is important. Low center of gravity to prevent tipping, wide wheelbase, load distributed evenly.
Not familiar with your model of welder you mentioned, but it's nice to have your cart wired. That way you plug your welder, grinder, drills, whatever into your cart and plug your cart into the wall. I also like a drawer, grinder hanger and cord/cable hooks.Miller Syncrowave 200

Duke Wins Battle 4
In the most stacked field of any regular-season tournament this year, Duke emerged with the Battle 4 Atlantis Championship after defeating Minnesota (89-71), VCU (67-58) and No. 2 Louisville (76-71) in the Bahamas last week. The wins came over a three-day span in which sophomore point guard Quinn Cook averaged 6.3 assists and 13.7 points per game on the way to tournament MVP honors. Senior forward Mason Plumlee was also dominant in the post, averaging 17.7 points and 8.7 rebounds per game while posting double-doubles against VCU and Minnesota. The three victories give Duke 23 straight regular-season tournament wins, while the win over Louisville gives the Blue Devils its second top-three victory of the year.
Cook Named Battle
4 Atlantis Most Valuable Player
Sophomore point guard Quinn Cook was the Battle 4 Atlantis pick for tournament most valuable player, and rightly so as the 6-1 guard from Bowie, Md., was the director of a Duke offense that solved the tenacious defense of both VCU and Louisville on back-to-back nights. Cook recorded nine assists and nine points in a 67-58 win over VCU and followed by scoring 15 points with six assists in the Battle 4 Atlantis Championship win over No. 2 Louisville. Cook came up huge down the stretch against the Cardinals, scoring Duke's final six points within the last 1:15 of the game to keep Duke just ahead of a late Louisville comeback. Louisville trimmed the deficit to three points three times during that 1:15 span, but Cook responded with a field goal and four free throws to put back ahead by two possessions each time.
Since cracking the starting lineup four games ago, Cook is averaging 12.3 points and 7.0 assists per game, while the Blue Devils are averaging 80.0 points per game during that span. At least four Blue Devils have scored in double figures in all four of those games.
Senior Class
Shouldering the Load
Duke entered the 2012-13 season with plenty of experience in the form of seniors Seth Curry, Ryan Kelly and Mason Plumlee. So far, that trio has anchored the team as they combine to average 48.5 points per game, which is 62.0 percent of Duke's total scoring. All three have been consistent night-in and night-out, as they have combined to score no less than 42 points in all six games. They have all scored in double figures in all but one game.
Duke Faces Third
Top-Three Opponent Wednesday
Despite running through a three-day gauntlet at the Battle 4 Atlantis that included wins over presumed NCAA Tournament-bound Minnesota, VCU and No. 2 Louisville, the Blue Devils don't get a break in the schedule. Coming up on Wednesday will be Duke's third game against a top-three opponent when No. 3 Ohio State comes to Durham for a 9:30 p.m. tipoff in Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Buckeyes, who will be the second straight 2012 Final Four team that Duke will face, enter the primetime matchup 4-0 with wins over Albany (82-60), Rhode Island (69-58), Washington (77-66) and UMKC (91-45). The Blue Devils will need to contend with the duo of sharpshooting forward Deshaun Thomas, who averages 24.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, and point guard Aaron Craft, who averages 14.3 points per game to go with a 7.0:1 assist-to-turnover ratio and a defensive game that earned him Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year honors last season.
The game will air on ESPN and WatchESPN.com and can also be heard on the Blue Devil IMG Sports Network. It will be Duke's second 9:30 p.m. tipoff in a five-day span.
Duke Named Team of
the Week
Sunday's edition of the ESPN Pick 'n' Roll blog was very Duke-heavy, with the Blue Devils earning Team of the Week honors, Quinn Cook earning a spot in the Weekly Starting Five, Mason Plumlee also getting a nod for his performance at the Battle 4 Atlantis, and Wednesday's Duke-Ohio State matchup getting recognition as the biggest game to watch this week. To see the entire blog, follow the link:

Duke Basketball
Radio Show Starts
The Duke Basketball Radio Show with Chris Collins and Steve Wojciechowski hosts its 2012-13 debut at the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club on the campus of Duke University this Tuesday from 7-8 p.m. The show airs live from the Bull Durham Bar on WDNC 620 The Buzz, and fans are invited to join the coaches on location at the Washington Duke Inn. Fans may submit questions for the show here: http://www.goduke.com//quest/Questionaire.dbml?\QID=73996&DB_OEM_ID=4200. Art Chase, a member of the Duke sports information office since 2000, will host the show alongside Collins and Wojciechowski.
Top-Five Wins
Duke has faced two top-five teams this season and come away with wins both times, despite playing on a neutral court and as the lower-ranked team each time. On Nov. 13, Duke - ranked No. 9 at the time - gutted out a 75-68 win over No. 3 Kentucky in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. And last Saturday, Duke - ranked No. 5 - took down Louisville 76-71 to win the Battle 4 Atlantis Championships in the Bahamas. The two top-five wins gave Duke two such victories before the start of ACC play for only the second time in school history. The only other time that Duke took down two top-five teams before the start of conference play was in 1965-66 when the Blue Devils defeated No. 1 UCLA twice - in back-to-back days - and No. 3 Michigan 10 days later. Duke will have a chance to match that mark on Wednesday against No. 3 Ohio State.
The wins over Kentucky and Louisville also extended a streak of three consecutive wins over top-five teams. Only three other times in school history has Duke strung together four or more consecutive top-five victories.
Irving Out 4-6
Weeks with Broken Finger
Former Blue Devil and No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft Kyrie Irving looked ready to ascend to the elite ranks of the NBA through his first nine games this season, but his season will be put on hold temporarily while he recovers from a fractured finger. The injury happened on Nov. 18 against Philadelphia, and Irving actually returned to the game after it was originally ruled just a bruise. Upon further examination, however, it appears that Irving will be out 4-6 weeks which derails what was a dominant start for Irving who had scored in double figures in every game, save the one in which he suffered the injury. Irving is averaging 22.9 points, 5.6 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game.

Microsoft has been working for months with West Coast Customs, the legendary car remodeling company, to build what might just be the most over-the-top Windows machine ever created.
The car, dubbed "Project Detroit," is a 2012 Mustang retrofitted with a 1967 Mustang fastback replica body that uses just about every Microsoft technology possible, including Windows, Windows Phone, Windows Azure, Xbox, Kinect, and even Microsoft's Bing search engine. The project was first announced last September, and the finished car will be unveiled this Sunday night at 9 p.m. on Discovery's Velocity Network.
Microsoft is giving a sneak peek of the car today. Microsoft's Channel 9, the company's site for software developers, has been spearheading the project as a demonstration of the potential of the company's technologies, trying to get developers to think about building apps and automotive technologies.
In addition, Microsoft says it is planning to make the source code for the major components of the project available through its CodePlex site.
Some of the crazier features, via Microsoft:
- Digital Instrument Cluster: The touch-screen instrument cluster can toggle between different dashboard skins including a 1967 Mustang, a 2012 Mustang and a Windows 8 Metro design style version.
- Heads Up Display: A heads-up display in windshield contains displays information Bing Maps — plus the passenger can play Xbox on his or her side of the windshield without distracting the driver.
- Entertainment System: The entertainment system comes with an Xbox 360 and a Kinect. When parked, the rear windshield can serve as a projector screen for playing movies or video games from behind the car.
- External Audio: The audio system acts as a public address system so you can speak into your phone and have the audio played through the car's external speakers. Using this system, the car also has customizable car horn "ringtones" that enable you to change what sound plays when the horn is honked.
- Customizable Rear Windshield: While driving, the rear windshield can serve as a customizable display system that can play video, show images and display custom messages.

Carbon-based thin solid films, including nanocrystalline diamond and diamond-like carbon (DLC), are an important class of "solid lubricants": materials that can exhibit extremely low friction (more slippery than ice) and wear (100's of times more wear-resistant than well-lubricated steel). Applications include aerospace and automotive components, computer hard disks, and nanoscale mechanical devices for logic and lithography. In this talk, I will provide a general overview of the formation, structure, composition, properties, and technological applications of these materials.
I will then focus on two specific scientific issues that limit the applicability of these materials. First, I will discuss how the thermal stability of DLC-based materials is a key concern, particular for next-generation hard disks. SiOx-doped DLC's may provide a solution, as they exhibit better thermal stability than typical hydrogenated DLC's. However, the scientific basis for this behavior is not established. To explore this, we are investigating the structure, bonding, and composition of these materials as a function of temperature, including through the use of an advanced surface science apparatus we have developed 1, which includes an environmental X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (E-XPS) able to acquire spectra at elevated pressures (up to 0.4 Torr) and temperatures.
Second, I will discuss new insights into the nanoscale wear mechanisms for these materials. I will show that these ultrastrong carbon-based materials can be used to be greatly reduce nanoscale wear compared to their conventional silicon-based counterparts2,3. I will also discuss the characterization of nanoscale wear in situ using a transmission electron microscope. Nanoscale probes composed of the materials of interest are slid against a flat diamond substrate. The shape evolution and volume loss due to wear are well described by kinetic model based on stress-assisted bond breaking mechanisms, allowing new insights to be gained about the kinetics of atomic-scale wear4,5.

Toll Free 1-855-BH-PULSE (1-855-247-8573)
You haven't been yourself lately. You can't put your finger on what's wrong, but something just doesn't feel right. It could be nothing—but you could be one of the two million adults in the United States who has atrial fibrillation (a-fib), the most common heart rhythm condition. More than half of those who have a-fib don't even know it. That's scary, because a-fib causes blood clots that can travel to your brain and trigger a stroke.
Fortunately, there's an easy way to detect a-fib: check your pulse!
Expert physicians in the Connecticut Cardiac Arrhythmia Center at Bridgeport Hospital can help by phone. Call toll free 1-855-BH-PULSE for recorded, detailed instructions from Cardiologist Gil Lancaster, MD, and in less than one minute, you'll learn how to take your pulse. If your heartbeat is irregular, please see your primary care physician. If you need a doctor, we can help you find one.
Stop that stroke from happening!

The things families talk about — and the reasons they stay in touch — probably haven't changed much over the decades. What has evolved dramatically, however, is the way that generations stay in touch.
See also: Should you "friend" your kids?
Technology has changed the landscape of family communication — much of it in very positive ways. I recently talked to a grandmother who told me about a birthday "visit" from her granddaughter, who is stationed in Afghanistan with the U.S. Army. The two chatted via a webcam on a laptop computer. Just think how difficult it would have been 25 years ago for a soldier to wish anyone happy birthday.
Here are some of the changes I've noticed. Read my observations, and then add your comments in the Tell Us What You Think box below to share your "then and now" stories.
Family Gatherings
Then: When families assembled for events such as weddings, family reunions, holidays or graduations, only nearby relatives — or long distance relatives who could afford to make the trip — could participate. Those who couldn't be there might have sent a congratulatory telegram, and then waited for a letter describing the gathering and, if they were lucky, a photograph.
Now: With smartphones and webcams, family members can join the gathering no matter where it takes place. Look around at a graduation ceremony and you'll see people holding up their mobile phones so long-distance relatives can hear or even see via video. Weddings and holiday gatherings include "virtual" guests who can see the beautiful bride, the steaming turkey or the Fourth of July fireworks through a webcam. Family reunions can even include overseas relatives.
