Tuesday's debate was the tilt that should have happened six weeks ago.
No one can fault the candidates for timidity any longer. Perhaps it was this week's bustle around primary dates, or the pent-up energy from last week's subdued economic roundtable, or the realization that the looming television ad war is about to change the tone anyway.
Whatever the cause, the CNN/Western Republican Leadership Conference Debate was the Republican presidential primary's liveliest yet. Texas Gov. Rick Perry showed up, finally. Former Godfather's Pizza executive Herman Cain started strongly in defense of his controversial tax plan before seeming to wilt when the debate topics ranged. And eternal front-runner Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, weathered perhaps the most effective attacks yet on his Massachusetts health care plan, and engaged to an unprecedented extent with the challengers seeking to unhorse him.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich summarized the debate near its close as "maximizing bickering."
The evening's most memorable moment came when Perry deflected moderator Anderson Cooper's question about the Lone Star State's low health insurance rate for children and, instead, attacked Romney over a years-old controversy about Romney hiring a lawn care company that employed illegal immigrants. The duo quickly flashed into a nose-to-nose confrontation, talking over each other, and Romney reaching over and seemingly grabbing Perry's shoulder.
That followed an exchange in which former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum attacked Romney's credibility in criticizing President Obama's health care expansion. Romney battled back so aggressively that the two talked over each other, a conversation that dove further into unintelligibility when Perry jumped in to defend Santorum's position.
Despite scattered stumbles, Perry delivered his most energetic performance yet, parrying attacks from Romney and Santorum and repeatedly going on offense against Romney. His lackluster showings in his four previous debates have fueled Perry's slide in the polls, while Romney's sustained debating has helped keep him atop the heap.
While Cain took much of the heat early over his 9-9-9 plan, it was the showdown between the two governors that drove the debate. It was just what was expected when Perry showed up at his first debate at the Reagan Library last month. Some highlights and lowlights:
Perry v. Romney
A flashpoint came during Perry's answer to a question about Texas's low insurance rate for children. In a bit of rhetorical jiu-jitsu, he flipped into an attack on Romney for hiring illegal immigrants, a reference to Romney's hiring of a lawn care firm that employed illegal immigrants.
Romney has said he "gave the company a second chance" after asking it to ensure its employees were legal to work in the United States, and he only severed ties after a newspaper report about a year later reported that illegal immigrants were still working on Romney's property. The two went almost literally nose-to-nose, with Romney at one point touching Perry on the shoulder. "A tough couple of debates for Rick," Romney sniped.
Perry's attack created an opening for a Romney misstep that could come back to haunt him. Explaining his rationale for severing ties with the lawn care firm, Romney said: "I'm running for office, for Pete's sake, I can't have illegals." It's a comment that will only feed an image that Romney's opponents have tried to promote: that of a politician who operates on expediency not principle.
When Perry cut in, Romney retorted, "You have a problem with allowing someone to finish speaking and I'd suggest that if you want to become president of the United States, you've got to let both people speak." Later, Perry tried to swing the momentum back against Romney, saying, "You're one of the problems, Mitt." Smiling and shaking his head, Romney cited crowd boos as a reason to move on.
Romney's "I'm running for office" remark, his 2008 campaign adviser Alex Castellanos said, drew attention to an already established weakness. "It reveals political thinking," Castellanos said. "It's the point of view of a politician, and that's a vulnerability for Romney, that he's calculating."
Religion and politics
If the 2012 campaign had commandments, high on anybody's top 10 would be that Mitt Romney is not going to get tripped up on religion questions. When moderator Anderson Cooper posed a question based on Rick Perry backer pastor Robert Jeffress's charge that Mormonism is a cult, Romney played the peacemaker, saying it was sufficient for Perry to say he doesn't agree with Jeffress.
Perry did not, however, repudiate the pastor, and Romney criticized him for what he called a "troubling" suggestion that a candidate's religious preference should prove determinative rather than the "plurality of faiths" Romney said the Founders intended. Picking a president based on where the person worships, he said, would be an "enormous departure from the principles of our Constitution." Romney's problem, of course, is that many voters in the Republican primary do think religious preference is determinative, which may be why he doesn't want to raise the possibility he might be a victim of religious bigotry -- any more than Barack Obama wanted to raise the possibility of racial bigotry in 2008.
Cain in the crosshairs
Former pizza executive Herman Cain, suddenly at or near the top of national polls, immediately became the focal point of Tuesday night's presidential debate in Las Vegas, but seemed to enjoy his role.
The first question, about taxes, triggered a barrage of criticism of the former pizza executive's signature 9-9-9 plan to replace the current tax code with a nine percent tax on personal income, corporations and sales.
Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney all criticized Cain's plan as unworkable or unfair but Cain came prepared. "It is a jobs plan, it is revenue-neutral, it does not raise taxes on those that are making the least." He said "lobbyists, accountants, politicians" were hoping to block a "simple and fair" plan from replacing the "10 million word mess" that he said the current tax code is.
When Santorum cited a study's conclusion that 84 percent of Americans would pay more under Cain's plan, Cain answered, "That simply is not true." In crisp, clearly prepared answers, Cain repeatedly invited voters to study his campaign's own analysis. While his rivals appeared eager to pile on, they also paid tacit tribute to Cain's sudden popularity. "I love his boldness," said Santorum. Gingrich added that Cain deserves credit for setting the tone for a serious debate.
'Romneycare' fireworks
Here's the fierce of criticism of Romney's health care plan some conservatives have hoped for: Santorum said Romney's previous support in Massachusetts for an individual mandate raises doubts about whether he'd repeal President Obama's health care bill.
"Governor Romney, you don't have credibility when it comes to 'Obamacare,'" Santorum said. "Your plan was the basis for 'Obamacare.' To say you're going to repeal it -- you have no track record on that that we can trust you that you're going to do that."
Romney began to defend himself, but Santorum repeatedly interrupted him. Perry even chipped in as the two men argued, saying the former Massachusetts governor had removed parts of his book about his health-care bill.
"I tell you what? Why don't you let me speak, Rick," said Romney. "You had your chance, why don't you let me speak?"
The ex- Bay State governor had largely avoided intense scrutiny in previous debates, but it seems his rivals are intent on attacking him tonight over what might be his most sensitive issue. Gingrich called Romney's plan a bureaucratic mess, before Romney shot back that he got the idea for an individual mandate from Gingrich.
GOP to world: Fuggedaboutit
Where would Republican presidential candidates cut first? Foreign aid.
The GOP field –- including Romney and Perry -- were almost unanimous in calling for big cuts in the foreign almost unanimously agreed they could cut financial support for other countries.
Perry said the entire United Nations should be on the chopping block. "I think it's time not only to have that entire debate about all of our foreign aid, but in particular the U.N.," he said, drawing cheers from the crowd. "Why are we funding that organization?"
Romney argued the country needs to solve its own debt problems before handing out aid to foreign nations.
"It doesn't make a lot of sense for us to borrow money from the Chinese to give it to another country for humanitarian aid," he said. "We ought to get the Chinese to take care of the people."
The only exception to their united front: Israel. Paul said he would not spare the Jewish state from the budget axe, arguing that U.S. aid makes Israel dependent. But most of his rivals took a different tack. "Cutting foreign aid," said Bachmann, "is one thing." Israel another.
"Israel is our greatest ally. The biggest problem is the fact that the president -- the biggest problem with this administration in foreign policy is that President Obama is the first president since Israel declared their sovereignty put daylight between the United States and Israel. That heavily contributed to the current hostilities that we see in the Middle East region."
Perry: Don't fence me in
Defending himself on a controversial issue that has dogged his campaign, Perry insisted that building a border fence to stop illegal immigration is a bad idea.
"The way you really stop (illegal immigration) … is to put boots on the ground," Perry said. "I will tell you, you put a lot of boots on the ground. You use predator drones that are being trained right up here in the air force base in Nevada to use that real-time information to give those boots on the ground that information."
Texas's policy of granting in-state tuition for children of illegal immigrants –- and Perry's strong defense of that policy -- has raised hackles among Republican conservatives. When Perry tried to put the blame on the federal government lax border security, Romney scoffed that Perry claiming experience on immigration is "a bit like saying the college coach that has lost 40 games in a row to go to the NFL."
Occupy Romney
Romney dodged a direct question about his opinion of the Occupy Wall Street movement, saying what caused the economic collapse is not as important as the president's poor economic stewardship afterward.
"Over the last three years we've had a president responsible for this economy for the last three years and he's failed us," Romney said. "He's failed us in part because he has no idea how the private sector works or how to create jobs. On every single issue he's made it harder for our economy to reboot."
The left-leaning movement has become tricky territory for Republican politicians, with many polls showing that, at least for now, it's popular with the public. But criticizing it is still a golden opportunity for a GOP candidate to serve red meat to the conservative base, and Romney's dodge indicates he's looking past the nomination fight to November.
The ex-governor seemed to make one faux pas: He said the president did not have a jobs plan. Obama has touted for months a roughly $450 billion jobs plan to boost the country's employment.
Lone Star Shining
Who's this Texas governor on stage? In his first remarks Tuesday night, Perry had perhaps his best debate moment yet. He described himself in his introduction as "an authentic conservative, not a conservative of convenience," a not so subtle jab at Romney, whom Perry has accused of flip flopping on health care, among other things. Then he landed a series of body blows on Cain's "9-9-9" plan.
"Herman, I love you, brother, but you don't need to have a big analysis to figure this thing out," he said. "Go to New Hampshire, where they don't have a sales tax, and you're fixing to give them one. They're not interested in 9-9-9. What they're interested in is flatter and fairer."
Perry, who unveiled an energy plan late last week, said he'd reveal more of his economic agenda later this week. Strategically, it makes sense for him to attack Cain, who has supplanted him the polls as the conservative alternative to Romney. Perry's pervious four debates have been marred by stumbling responses that have left some doubting he's a credible choice for president.
Huntsman MIA
Tonight's GOP presidential debate will be without one familiar voice: Ex-Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman is at this hour bragging about his absence from the Las Vegas stage at a town hall meeting in Hopkinton, N.H. "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," Huntsman crowed to enthusiastic applause, according to National Journal/CBS New campaign reporter Lindsey Boerma, who is at the event. In an email released minutes before the debate was to begin, Huntsman says he has chosen to "show my solidarity" with the Granite State's efforts to put some distance between its first-in-the-nation primary and Nevada's proposed Jan. 14 caucus date. Granite State officials are threatening to move their primary date as far up as early as December.
Huntsman has seized on the chance to stand up for the state, which he is focusing on exclusively to resuscitate his thus far disappointing campaign. During the first of two town halls held in New Hampshire on Tuesday – he's holding another during the debate – he criticized the rest of the field for ignoring the Granite State.
"All I can say is they're missing out on a huge opportunity by not embracing a total boycott of the Nevada caucus and doing what the New Hampshire voters would expect," said Huntsman. "And that's to stand in a town hall meeting, delivering a vision for this country, and taking questions from average voters here. I think that's where the action is, that's what going to ultimately allow one to win the New Hampshire primary, and in a critical time when we need to be discussing our economy and how we're gonna create jobs, that's how it's done. So I'm happy to be here."

I needed a fast an tasty snack for my children's pre-school and these went over well.Unfortunately tne first batch baked at 425 as directed for the minimum time burned. I lowered the temp. to 375 and the 2nd batch was great.
this recipe was to dry and bland to give this recipe a 5 star rating you must add 3tbsp. surgar, 2tbsp.cocoa, 1tsp. vanilla, 1 extra egg, 1/2 cup milk bake at 350 instead . They came out moist and full of flavor thank you for the starting of the recipe.

I just got done making these muffins, and they are AWFUL. What a waste of perfectly good over-ripe bananas :( I guess I should have read all the reviews first, then I wouldve known that the muffins BURN if you bake them for 15 minutes like is recommended in the recipe. Also, they just taste gross. Dry, baking powdery, not sweet enough. Like "add water" box mix or something. :/ I'm no major baker, so I don't come on here to mess & tweak with recipes. I want a good recipe the first time. My husband couldn't finish them, we couldn't even pawn them off on our kids!! VERY DISAPPOINTED.
W O W !!!!!!! These were so good, even my husband's mother liked them....
I really changed up these muffins. I didn't even have bananas on hand so I added 2/3 c homestyle applesauce, 1/2 c milk and an extra egg. I also added crushed bran flakes for a non-nutty crunch. Baked also on 350 for 15 minutes. I sell Avon and we just came out with a muffin top pan which I used instead of a regular muffin pan. The second batch I added peach preserves and cream cheese chunks and topped with sliced honey roasted almonds. Both variations were good..
These muffins were great. After reading other reviews, I lowered the oven temperature to 350 and they turned out moist and delicious. Also, I ended up with 12 muffins and a bunch of mini-muffins (which my kids love). Thanks for the great recipe Corwynn!
These muffins were great! I only used half the amount of oil (and used olive oil instead) and they were a huge hit!
I baked these at 425 degrees but they were done after only 13 1/2 minutes. I also had more batter than 12 muffins so made eleven additional MINI-size muffins with the extra batter, and baked them about 7 minutes or so. These are delicious!

Keen-eyed patrons at Albert Park for the 2013 Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix will see a new name as they walk around the circuit precinct.
Well, new and familiar at the same time: the name belongs to Sir Jack Brabham, but for the first time it features on some smart new street-signs on the western side of Albert Park Lake.
In the Fifties, when Jack Brabham (as he then was) competed at Albert Park, the thoroughfare running north-south on the western side was Aughtie Walk.
They did things differently then, of course: when the Australian Grand Prix was staged here in 1953 and at subsequent motor racing events in the park the cars went in an anti-clockwise direction.
Aughtie Walk was the long sweep from the original Start/Finish line, just after what was then called Dunlop Corner. If you were walking round today's track in the 'right' direction it would be just before Turn 3 on our clockwise lay-out.
In the Fifties it took the field down to the first left-hander on the circuit, then called RedeX Corner.
To honour the man who showed Australia the way to World Championship success, Aughtie Walk will be renamed 'Sir Jack Brabham Way' for the duration of each Australian Grand Prix meeting.
Smart black signs with an olde-worlde touch have been erected at various points along the road.
The three-time World Champion's name is also used for the grandstand at the end of the main straight, inside Turn 1 on the drivers' right.

Interpretive Handbook
86213 :
Hyperoxaluria Panel, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Increased urinary oxalate frequently leads to renal stone formation and renal insufficiency. Identification to the cause of hyperoxaluria has important implications in therapy, management and prognosis.
Hyperoxalurias are classified as primary (genetically determined) and secondary. Type I (PH1), an autosomal recessive deficiency of peroxisomal alanine: glyoxylate aminotransferase due to mutations in the AGXT gene, is characterized by increased urinary oxalic, glyoxylic, and glycolic acids. PH1 manifestations include deposition of calcium oxalate in the kidneys (nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis), and end-stage renal disease. Calcium oxalate deposits can be found in other tissues such as the heart and eyes, and lead to a variety of additional symptoms. Age of onset is variable with a small percentage of patients presenting in the first year of life with failure to thrive, nephrocalcinosis, and metabolic acidosis. Approximately half of affected individuals show manifestations of PH1 in late childhood or early adolescence, and the remainder present in adulthood with recurrent renal stones. Some PH1 individuals respond to supplementary pyridoxine therapy.
Hyperoxaluria type II (PH 2) is due to a defect in GRHPR gene resulting in a deficiency of the enzyme hydroxypyruvate reductase. PH2 is autosomal recessive and identified by an increase in urinary oxalic and glyceric acids. Like PH1, PH2 is characterized by deposition of calcium oxalate in the kidneys (nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis), and end-stage renal disease. Most individuals have symptoms of PH2 during childhood, and it is thought that PH2 is less common than PH1.
Secondary hyperoxalurias are due to hyperabsorption of oxalate (enteric hyperoxaluria); total parenteral nutrition in premature infants; ingestion of oxalate, ascorbic acid, or ethylene glycol; or pyridoxine deficiency, and may respond to appropriate therapy.
A diagnostic workup in an individual with hyperoxaluria demonstrates increased concentration of oxalate in urinary metabolite screening. If either glycolate or glycerate is present, a primary hyperoxaluria is indicated. Additional analyses can include molecular testing for PH1 or PH2.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Distinguishing between primary and secondary hyperoxaluria
Distinguishing between type 1 and type 2 primary hyperoxaluria
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Increased concentrations of oxalate and glycolate indicate type 1 hyperoxaluria.
Increased concentrations of oxalate and glycerate indicate type 2 hyperoxaluria.
Increased concentrations of oxalate with normal concentrations of glycolate and glycerate indicate secondary hyperoxaluria.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Ascorbic acid will falsely elevate oxalic acid results.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

quirky / theme
Plowshares twisted into corkscrews, tree-limbs gnarled into human faces, as idiosyncratic as the metaphysical poets, incongruous, rich, and strange. Agreeably eccentric, funny and clever in a mechanical, ingenious way. Naive, unimproved, marginal, frequently brilliant and droll. Think not of actors but of puppeteers, toy-makers before sculptors, and not so much landscape-painters and essayists as cartoonists and stand-up comics. Not to be trite, but with the quirky, expect the unexpected.
Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.

He plays a Manhattan advertising executive plunged into a realm of spy (James Mason) and counterspy (Eva Marie Saint) and variously abducted, framed for murder, chased and in another signature set piece, crop-dusted. He also holds on for dear life from the facial features of the Presidents on Mount Rushmore (backlot sets were used). But don't expect the Master of Suspense to leave star or audience hanging.

Geography matters….Posted: 3 September, 2012 Filed under: City, External, Geography, Public, space, Touch | Tags: road, Skateboard, skating Leave a comment
…when your exploring on a skateboard.
sunshine undergroundPosted: 11 June, 2011 Filed under: External, Human, music, Organism, Sound, space, Types of exploration, underground, Urban | Tags: Fear, London, Method, Music, Psychological, Train, Underground Leave a comment
I enjoy listening to music and sounds to intentionally evoke feelings about a place. On the London Underground I will sometimes use my iPhone to record one place only to intentionally listen to it another. Doing this can be highly disorienting to the point where 'phantom' sounds force me to stop and make sense of what's reality. It's not too different from being in a shop and being apologetic to a mannequin.
Most recently I've taken to listening to the soundtrack of Sunshine while navigating the tube. Directed by Danny Boyle the score for the film was created in collaboration between John Murphy and Underworld (who I understand improvised much of it while watching the film). This is essentially a sci-fi horror film about an attempt to stop the Sun from going out by flying a nuclear bomb into it. For those on the ship that will deliver the bomb the journey is far from easy. As the brightening 'sunshine' grows so does its beauty, draw and intensity.. but bad things happen on Icarus II, not least the trauma of dealing with the remains of Icarus I, which led the previous and failed mission. This is a tense and psychological film and the soundtrack reflects this.
Stepping into the underground, descending the escalators, boarding a train and listening loud to tracks like 'Kanada's Death' and "Pinback Slashes Capa" can be more the unsettling. While I know that I'm in a relatively safe environment the whispers, tense chords and creeping acoustics always force me to tighten up. Underground trains are essentially spaceships that journey through dark space and eventually into sunshine.. they move in and contain political spaces that exist to provide freedom but have been exploited to instill fear through violence.
While the score for the film has been composed for something (un)real it has a very real impact on my (un)enjoyment of travel and one that I suggest you give a try…

Capsule endoscopy is a procedure that uses a tiny wireless camera to take pictures of your digestive tract. The camera sits inside a vitamin-sized capsule that you swallow. As the capsule travels through your digestive tract, the camera takes thousands of pictures that are transmitted to a recorder you wear on a belt around your waist or over your shoulder.
Capsule endoscopy helps doctors see inside your small intestine — an area that isn't easily reached with conventional endoscopy. Capsule endoscopy can be used by adults and by children who can swallow the capsule. The procedure is usually started in a doctor's office.

Calgary, AB (SportsNetwork.com) - Mike Cammalleri and Paul Byron scored in the third period and the Calgary Flames beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-1 on Tuesday.
Calgary's Joni Ortio, in his eighth NHL start, outdueled Buffalo's Nathan Lieuwen, who made his first.
Ortio gave up one goal on four shots in the first period -- Drew Stafford's wraparound after a Calgary turnover behind the net -- and finished with 13 saves.
Joe Colborne scored the other goal for the Flames, who got their third win in four games.
The Sabres dropped their seventh in a row, all in regulation. It matched their seven-game losing streak to start the season.
Lieuwen was recalled from Buffalo's AHL affiliate in Rochester on Sunday and made his NHL debut later that day in a 2-0 loss to Montreal after Jhonas Enroth left 36 minutes in with a lower-body injury.
The 22-year-old, playing for the fourth time in five days after starting games for Rochester on Friday and Saturday, made 23 saves.
"I thought he (Lieuwen) played well," Sabres interim head coach Ted Nolan said. "The second goal we kind of backed right into him and we lost our positioning. They got a good shot and tipped it in. Overall I thought he played well."
Stafford's goal 13:22 into the game had Calgary on top until Colborne scored with 1:02 left in the second period, depositing a loose puck past Lieuwen in a scrum in front of the crease.
Cammalleri -- with position in front of Buffalo defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen near the crease -- got a piece of Chris Butler's shot from the high right side and deflected it past Lieuwen for a 2-1 Flames lead 9:16 into the third.
Byron's shorthanded goal came after a Sabres turnover near the blue line. He skated down ice ahead of Cody Hodgson and Ristolainen and snuck a forehand around Lieuwen with 6:33 remaining.
"The boys regrouped between the first and second and we skated so much better. We saw our team working and making great plays," Flames head coach Bob Hartley said.
The Flames remain home to play Nashville on Friday ... Buffalo started a five-
game road trip that continues Thursday in Edmonton ... The Sabres were 0-for-2
on the power play and Calgary went 0-for-1.

DIY Cocoa and Shea Butter Deodorant
06 Feb 13
A recipe to create your own deodorant, free from antiperspirants or synthetic aromas. All you need is a handful of ingredients, a stove, a fridge and a few cooking utensils.
3 tbsp shea butter
3 tbsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tbsp b cornstarch
2 tbsp cocoa butter
2 vitamina E capsules
2 drops essential oil of your choice
Combine all ingredients (except vitamin capsules and essential oils) into a saucepan. Heat all ingredients over medium heat. Once combine into a paste, turn off the heat and transfer to a small bowl. Add oil from vitamin E capsules and the essential oil and mix together into a smooth creamy paste. Put into an airtight container and chill in refrigerator for 30-40 minutes.
To apply, take a small coin sized amount and roll into a ball with your fingers and apply to skin.
A simpler version, even if less durable, is a liquid deodorant based on bicarbonate, to apply with a spray bottle. Add 2 tsp of baking soda to a glass of water and let stand for 24 hours. Then strain the fluid and add a few drops of lemon juice, which will contribute to your daily freshness with its antibacterial properties.
The success of homemade deodorant also depends on the pH of your skin of each. This recipe therefore may not work for all skin types.

Chinese Bamboo Scripts from Hunan: A Recording of Early Chinese Civilization
September 24th-26th in Dimond Library, near Circulation Desk on level 3
Sponsored by the Confucius Institute at UNH
The exhibit is free and open to the public.
For over 2,000 years, bamboo and wood scripts played an important role in Chinese history. The culture of bamboo script writing has had a far-reaching impact on Chinese civilization. The exhibition will display 60 pieces of bamboo and wood script replicas (excavated from Hunan Province of China) dating back to Qin, Han Dynasty, and the State of Wu during the Three Kingdoms Period.
The exhibition is organized in partnership with the Confucius Institute at Bryant University in Rhode Island, Hunan Antique Archaeology Institute, and Changsha Museum of Bamboo Scripts in Hunan, China.
To learn more about the exhibit, please visit the Chinese Bamboo Script Exhibition page, or find out more about the Confucius Institute at UNH.

Story Maps Illustrate Metro Area and County Population Change
Have fun exploring two interactive thematic maps on population change, just released by the Census Bureau.
The first map allows data users to explore the difference a decade has made in patterns of population change in metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas across the country. This is possible through swiping between two interactive maps – one covering the 2002-2003 period, the other 2012-2013. The second map permits users to determine the extent of population growth in each county between 2012 and 2013, and to quickly identify the primary source of that population change (such as natural increase or net migration.

It wasn't long before I decided to start messing around with capacitors and creating some sparks. Soon I noticed how time spending it was to connect the capacitor to the power supply, charge it, disconnect it and just then, short the leads.
So this came to me, a little device that will charge the capacitors and disconnect them for you. The best part is that the speed at which they are connected and disconnected from the power supply can be regulated.
Even though in this Instructable I will be using low voltages such as 20v, I believe you can, by using higher voltage capacitors do the same with much bigger sparks and fun.
So let's get started!
I am NOT responsible for any Zapping caused to you by this project. If you choose to add higher value capacitors and use a higher voltage I am not responsible for whatever the outcome of such ideas is. It might end up being fun or it might end with some nasty burns.
The Schematic is to be opened using Eagle Cad.
This is great!!! I might use this to make an automatic coil gun.
Since you are going to do so, you might want to try using a disposable camera to charge the capacitors. That means that they will have a charge of about 400v if im not wrong.
That is some pretty nice sparks I bet. Just take into account that it might not work like mine, you might not be able to make it spark like crazy. Already at 20v the metals, when they touch each otherm they stick together. They melt. So at 400v you might end up with a soldering iron.
If not you might want to use capacitors with a larger capacitance, say 1 Farad.
Happy Building!
Because when I was designing it, I played around with values and voltages, and it seemed like they both affect. The higher the voltage and the higher the capacitance the bigger the sparks. When I lowered voltage the sparks decreased in size.
When you double the voltage the stored energy quadruples.
Here is a calculator that shows the stored energy in a capacitor.
Your bank charged to 25v has just under 1 joule. Mine charged to 2.5v has 16,250 joules. A common disposable camera capacitor 120uF at 330v has 6.5 joules.
My bank is made with boost caps which won't discharge quickly. They will discharge in about 5 seconds at the fastest.
Please tell me more on how you made this capacitor bank.
Also, what is the main use of a capacitor bank, I've heard about them but I can't see the use except for doing what my proyect does and maybe melting metals together.
Where on earth did you get a 5200 Farad capacitor?
On the shop I go to, they barely have capacitors up to 100F and they are huge.
I got them as surplus quite cheaply. They are very expensive new. I got mine from electronic goldmine a while back. Sometimes they get more in but they sell out very quickly. An ebay search for "maxwell ultracapacitor" turns up a few of them.
It will although make the two pens stick together a bit but they easily come apart.
I would have to use a higher voltage and probably, as some people have told me that would kill the relays due to arcing unless I used a snubber or something like that. I still have to go over this circuit again to make it more efficient in terms of the relays and the supposed arcs that are created between contacts.
So if you can tell me how to get AC from a 9v battery I would be happy to try this out.
I design, build and run big radar transmitters, and some use capacitors of around a microfarad. Not much, but they charge up to 40, 000 volts. When you short across THAT, you'd better have ear protection on, and stand behind something solid, and don't look at the arc.
Purely Awesome.
Thanks for the memories.
1 ohm = 1.139 x 10^(-12) sec/cm
so you would need to multiply 16 ohms by some particular constant distance (in cm) in order to get your right age, which is that? or is it a secret?
Best Regards
I recommend you to read again carefully.
Interesting project. Could you minaturize this small enough to go into a model trolley car. The point of the spark would be where the trolley pole touches the overhead wire.
I want to control the trolley with Radio Control and use a Battery for power. This way I don't have to have the overhead wire "HOT". The "Cap's N Sparks" device could create the spark at the where the trolley pole touches the overhead wire. The spark would make it look very real.
This youtube video shows the kind of spark I am looking for:
Remove the extra relay for the LED's. Now instead of 3 1000 uF caps just buy one of a higher capacitance say 5k uF.
You might have some problems with the relay. I have received some commentaries at HackADay saying something I didn't know about, called arcing.
So you might want to wait a little bit while I try to figure out how to "protect" the relays from these arcs. Also you might have to use a 9v battery to power the relays unless you can find a 3v relay.
Regarding the charging of the capacitors, well, you might have some problems here as well. How will you charge them, I was recommended to use only 1 power supply, but in this case, if you have your trolly on a rail you could have the 20v running through the rails onto the capacitors and have the overhead wire be connected to the 20v ground to do the short circuit.
If you could send me a picture of what the trolley looks like I would be happy to help you.
Sincerely GranTotem
I look at it this way, if someone needs warnings so basic, or even about the incredibly obvious possibility of electric shock - they should NOT be playing around with electricity/electronics in the first place.
Maybe gardening would be safer - hmm, but then you'd have to warn about potentially sharp trowels, not to eat fertilizer, possible drowning from the water hose, sunstroke, insect bites etc. etc. People need to take some responsibility for their own actions, instead of making it everyone else's to keep them safe. Just a thought. (Or does this have to do with rampant sue-happy people in the US who will blame the author if they get hurt?)
Great comment though!!
1, never use a voltage higher than the capacitor's rating. At very least it will leak, and worst it might damage the cap and/or explode.
2, when using electrolytic caps (the big black ones) NEVER wire it backwards. If the polarity is wrong it WILL explode. So pay attention to the lead that has a bunch of minus signs (-) going up the side.
3. Be wary of thin wires vaporizing or the contacts welding together. When I first did this using a disposable camera (which comes with a built-in charging system, by the way!) I actually welded a screwdriver to the capacitor terminals.
4. Never Ever touch both leads of the capacitors with any part of your body when charged.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman Oh, man...!Caught a blink. Oops, your niece is moving too fast towards you. Dad turned away for just a sec.It's about timingThe original Nikon 1 Series was designed from its inception to make these problems a thing of the past. A smart photo selector mode made sure you were getting the strongest possible shot by taking 20 photos in succession and handing you the best 5 to choose from.Now Nikon has created a new series flagship with the V2, a muscular re-imagining of the original V1 that captures your world in even greater detail. With 14.2-megapixels, a built-in flash, redesigned control interface, and a sturdy textured right-hand grip, it has the look of a camera to be reckoned with; yet it maintains many of the features that were hailed when the Nikon 1 Series first debuted.Along with the aforementioned smart photo selector, Nikon has added Slow View mode in the V2, which buffers 40 frames (at 30 frames per second) and plays them back at 20% of normal speed so you can choose the exact right moment to capture. And the innovative Motion Snapshot mode — which captures a slow-motion sequence and a representative still image and blends it with music — has been enhanced to allow a longer, ten-second presentation, and now offers the ability to select the accompanying music after the shot.Speed burnerOf course, the V2 offers amazing autofocus and continuous shooting speed, like its predecessor, even while giving you almost 40% more pixel resolution. The hybrid autofocus of the Nikon 1 Series is impressive, and the 15 frame-per-second continuous capture tames any fast-moving event for later review.On the airPerhaps the most exciting addition to the Nikon 1 V2 is the ability to add the optional WU-1b wireless adapter, making your camera truly Wi-Fi® capable. Use that networking ability with available free apps for Android™ and Apple® iOS® smartphones and tablets to transfer images easily to computers and social networks, or use your device to view and fire off images in real time.Your camera's best friendThe included 10-30mm lens will be a perfect companion for everyday shooting challenges and travel photography.

In addition, compressed 12-bit raw data from the image sensor can be saved directly to the memory card in NEF (RAW) format. The white balance, contrast, and other settings can be adjusted on a computer after shooting. If desired, the V2 can record two images simultaneously: one NEF (RAW) image and one fine-quality JPEG image. Image Size: There are three image sizes to choose from when taking still photos: Large: 4608 x 3072 Medium: 3456 x 2304 Small: 2304 x 1536 Mode Dial: The Nikon V2 has a mode dial with 8 shooting mode choices: Auto Mode, Advanced Movie Mode, Motion Snapshot Mode, Best Moment Capture Mode, Programmed Auto, Shutter-priority Auto, Aperture-priority Auto, and Manual. Motion Snapshot Mode: The Motion Snapshot mode can turn a simple still image into a creative new way to capture and share your memories. Each time the shutter is released, the camera records a still image and about 1.6 seconds of movie footage. When played back on the camera, the movie will play back in slow motion over approximately 4 seconds, followed by the still image. Playback is accompanied by a background audio track about 10 seconds long. Best Moment Capture: The Best Moment Capture mode keeps you from missing the picture-perfect moments. The camera captures a short sequence of still images and plays them back in slow motion so you can choose the precise moment for a photograph. While the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera records up to 40 frames over about 1.3 seconds and plays them back in a continuous slow-motion loop. When the frame you want to keep is displayed, you can select it by pressing the shutter-release button the rest of the way down. The remaining images are discarded. Smart Photo Selector: The Smart Photo Selector mode helps you capture a fleeting expression or other moments that are hard to time. Each time the shutter is released, the camera automatically selects the best shot and a number of best shot candidates, based on composition and motion. You can choose to have the camera select 5 or only one best shot. Automatic Scene Selection: In Auto mode, the camera automatically analyses the subject and selects one of the following scenes: Portrait, Landscape, Night Portrait, Close Up, Night Landscape, and Auto. HD Movies: The Nikon V2 can record High Definition movies in MOV format (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression with AAC audio) in P, S, A, and M modes at the following frame rates: 1920 x 1080/60i 1920 x 1080/30p 1280 x 720/60p 1280 x 720/30p Slow Motion Movies: You can record motion pictures at a high frame rate, which are played back as slow motion movies at 30fps. No audio is recorded, and the aspect ratio is 8:3. There are two slow motion movie options: Option Frame Size Bit Rate Maximum Length (shooting) Maximum Length (playback) 400 fps 640 x 240 2 Mbps 3 seconds 40 sec 1200 fps 320 x 120 1 Mbps 3 seconds 2 min Continuous Mode: The Continuous Shooting option lets you choose 5, 15, 30 and 60 frames per second. A mechanical shutter is used at 5 fps, while an electronic shutter is used with frame rates of 15, 30, and 60. At 15 fps, the maximum number of shots that can be taken in a single burst is about 45, while at 30 and 60 fps, the maximum is about 40. Self-timer and Remote Control Modes: You can use the self timer or optional ML-L3 remote control to reduce camera shake or for self portraits. The self timer will release the shutter 2 or 10 seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed fully. Using the ML-L3 remote, you can select Delayed Remote (shutter released 2 seconds after remote is pressed) or Quick-response Remote (shutter released immediately after remote is pressed). ISO Settings: Sensitivity is the measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. The camera features the following ISO settings: A6400 Auto (160-6400) The camera adjusts ISO sensitivity in response to lighting conditions in the range given in brackets. Larger ranges give you increase sensitivity when lighting is poor; smaller ranges give you reduced noise. A3200 Auto (160-3200) A800 Auto (160-800) 160, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400 ISO sensitivity is fixed at the selected value. White Balance: You can set the White Balance to Auto, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Direct Sunlight, Flash, Cloudy, or Shade. These settings can be fine-tuned using the multi-selector. You can also choose Preset Manual and set the white balance for the lighting conditions. Picture Control: You can choose how the camera processes photos through Picture Control. Preset Picture Controls include Standard, Neutral, Vivid, Monochrome, Portrait, and Landscape. The preset picture controls can be modified to suit the scene or your creative intent. Some Picture Control Settings include Quick Adjust, Sharpening, Contrast, Brightness, Saturation, Hue, Filter Effects, and Toning. Edited Picture Controls can be saved as Custom Picture Controls.
