Overview Reviews Details Articles & Videos by Zak Billmeier The CD-SB10 adapter lets you control a SIRIUS satellite radio with your Pioneer stereo. This adapter works with newer Pioneer stereos equipped with a CD changer connection, letting you control either of the following: the SC-C1 SiriusConnect universal tuner; a compatible SIRIUS portable radio, like the Sportster, Starmate, Stratus, or Stiletto, together with a SiriusConnect vehicle kit. The CD-SB10 adapter sends song text to the Pioneer stereo's display, and lets you browse SIRIUS channels by using your Pioneer stereo's controls. The adapter powers your satellite radio and includes a pass-through connection, so you can add another piece of Pioneer gear to your car stereo system. Note: A subscription to SIRIUS is also required. Satellite radio service is available only within the lower 48 states not available in Hawaii or U.S. territories.

Yes No works Written By Jason, calera, ok on Friday, November 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works for what I need it for. This combined with the other part sure makes it bulky. You will need plenty of space in the dash for this. I installed it on a 10 dodge challenger. Pros: works fine Cons: bulky Was this review helpful? Yes No works perfect Written By zadams333, colorado springs, co on Sunday, July 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) installs easily, works great. wished you could see more than 1 line at a time but thats ok Was this review helpful? Yes No No problems Written By Joe, Wilmington, NC on Saturday, June 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I plugged it in and it worked. I use Sirius a lot and really like the service. Cons: I wish they'd start building everything into the head units so all these extra gadgets wouldn't be necessary. Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome Written By Stveo, Fort Defiance,AZ on Saturday, March 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This product was very simple to install. And once intalled, we were listening. Me daughter would rather sit in the car then listen to her stereo inside the home. Now considering a home kit as well. I never thought I would satelilite radio. Thank you Pros: No commercials Was this review helpful? Yes No Pioneer SiriusConnect Adapter Written By Jimmy D, MS on Saturday, February 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This worked great for me. I love it! Pros: I love the freedom of limited commercials. Was this review helpful? Yes No Works But Disappointment Written By Anonymous, West TN on Wednesday, February 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Only one line displayed at a TIME!?!? What a bunch of crap! Artist, Radio Station, or Song - but you can only see one at a time. Doesn't Pioneer know that SIRIUS and XM are the same company now, and have been for years. At least you get to listen to SIRIUS thru your Pioneer head unit. I know now to go with an Alpine or Kenwood next time. Pros: Can listen to SIRIUS Radio Cons: No Multi-Line Display with SIRIUS. Was this review helpful? Yes No Watch for the bus connectors Written By pj, Richmond, VA on Monday, August 15, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Watch for the bus connectors - I assumed since the head unit and this item were both Pioneer products blue would go to blue. That is not the case, I had to pull my dash back apart to change the connections on the back of this item. Was this review helpful? Yes No Disappointed!! Written By Drewmeister, Morgantown, WV on Friday, September 03, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So, my saga begins around 6 years ago when I bought an SIR-PNR1. At first I was thrilled, as I finally had Sirius on my head unit like many other people have said. Then about 2 years ago I bought a new Pioneer head unit DEH-P6900UB which has multi-line display. As you all know, Pioneer does not support this. So that brings me to today. I got on Crutchfield to look specifically for a new model Pioneer Sirius tuner. I was ecstatic when I saw a new one that reportedly transmits multi-line text!! I ordered it immediately. To my dismay, I get the package to find out the SC-C1 is a Sirius product that supports multi-line but the CD-SB10 is a Pioneer product and does not!!! Needless to say, the whole thing is going back. I am going to try to sell my SIR-PNR1 along with my Pioneer head unit and CD changer and will buy another brand of head unit that has full Sirius support. I'm done with Pioneer. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Pioneer judge for youself Written By Bob, Fernley, Nv. on Friday, October 23, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have a Pioneer head unit that is less than a year old. I have an i-pod hooked up to it, and it gives me all the information I could want. I also have a Pioneer CD-SB10 and a Sirius SC-C1 hooked up to this radio. It gives you the choice of artist or song, not both or anything else. I called Pioneer, hoping that I could upgrade the CD-SB10 to give me the same amount of information that I get with my i-pod. I was informed by a customer service rep, that they have been associated with XM for a long time and that people with Sirius can live with it or not. Even though this company sells a box to recieve Sirius that gives you nothing and the same company sells an XM box that gives them all of the features. Sirius recomends Kenwood, Alpine, and Sony. I will never buy anything that has the Pioneer name ever again in my lifetime. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Horrible, just plain horrible. Written By Matt, Chillicothe, Ohio on Monday, October 12, 2009 This "thing" is not worth the packaging that it came in. I had this connected to the SCC1 Sirius tuner. This unit kept locking up, the sound from Sirius was much lower than any of the other sources, and the sound quality was not that great. If you are looking into Sirius and have a Pioneer head unit, please go with a plug and play. Stay away from this!!!!! I highly recommend the Pioneer 920XM unit. I replaced the Sirius Connect equipment with the 920XM unit and have been satisfied ever since. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sirius CD-SB10 interface Written By livinfulltilt, TN on Sunday, August 16, 2009 I have an AVH-P3100DVD and purchased this so I could swap my sirius subscription from my old sportster to my new deck. Here are a few negatives about this unit with my deck 1. It would be nice if the artist name/song title/station were all displayed at once. You can see each of these by pressing the info icon 2. At first this unit did not have sound once my subscription was active....after re-tracing every wire in my install I found that both ends of the BUS cable are the same and can be plugged in "backwards". As soon as I swapped the ends, it worked flawlessly. Perhaps this is the case with some of the other reviewers and why they dont have sound...? 3. Size of the interface box. My laptop is thinner, i have a palm that does MORE, and pioneer is trying to convince me that this is the best that they could do?? It would have been nice to slip a "palm" sized interface underneath the dash... 4. The interface itself. You buy the interface AND still have to buy a sirius tuner just for the antenna? Cmon pioneer, you're killing me...now I have to hide 2 equally large interface units and wiring!! 5. PRICE. A netbook can do 1000+ more things and can be had for @ $250. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No what a joke!!!! Written By trickrk, detroit michigan on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 Yes you guessed it ,I also have problems with mine locking up. Had to pull the fuse and reset it. Glad I looked here in the reviews and found the answer. I can't belive Crutchfield even sells these as bad as they are. Three months out of warranty, again I say what a joke! 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Out of sight but full of sound! Written By Mike, Starkville, MS on Thursday, March 05, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love what this thing delivers! Upgraded from a plug and play receiver. Love not having a device sitting on my dash or elsewhere in sight. Was this review helpful? Yes No Pioneer SiriusConnect Adapter Written By bobbydean, Washington State on Wednesday, March 04, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works great... Would like to be able to change the channels with a keypad though, instead of one at a time. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great when it works, but there is a fix: Written By Todd, Memphis on Friday, February 13, 2009 Like others have posted, the unit will freeze up. The freeze manifests itself as having no sound from Sirius in my case. The display of channels, artists and songs works, but you get no sound. Mine finally locked up hard and I started searching for any information I could find before investing in a new unit. I found it in the other reviews here. It appears that the power spikes from starting your vehicle can lock the unit up. Usually it will reset the next time you start the vehicle, but occasionally it doesn't. Using the info I found here, I pulled the fuse and reset the unit. It worked after doing that. So, I rewired the power to tap it off the ACC wire. That will help to make sure it resets cleanly when you start the engine. I'm hoping this will permanently cure my problems. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Used with AVIC F900BT Written By Charles, Houston, TX on Thursday, October 23, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Have only had one freeze up. Works well otherwise. Would like to see artist and song displayed and instead of "preset 1,2, 3 etc" would have like to have seen the channel name come up. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Buy something besides Pioneer Written By b_from_d, Dora, MO on Wednesday, October 01, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Run from anything Pioneer. I had to buy this unit to replace the one I bought for my wife for Christmas last year. This all begins in about June, the original unit shot craps. I send it back to Pioneer for replacement, cost about $9 Fedex, later after several phone calls to find out why I haven't received a replacement and several they are out of stocks we hope to have one soon. I finally get one, it doesn't work, and they tell me it was a refurb not new like I paid for, another $9 Fedex, yea the unit is bad, but guess what they are out of stock and discontinued. It's all good though, just buy the new model and we will reimburse the cost. I do and send in the invoice, unit + shipping, get a check for $10 less, we don't reimburse shipping charges. So now I'm out $29 shipping, 2 months Sirus fees, and to top it all off, Sirus charges me $15 to reprogram the new unit. 1 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Good, but still buggy Written By Chris, Atlantic City,NJ on Monday, July 14, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) As the other reviewers have stated, this unit is prone to freeze ups. In my case, the unit interface still works, but no sound is supplied. Seems like a power issue. Very annoying, but there is really no alternative and when it works, which is a majority of the time, its a great piece of equipment. Note that when it freezes, it knocks the sound off for any other interfaces connected through the IPBus... 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No No More Dash Clutter! Written By steve, Lafayette IN on Monday, April 14, 2008 Although I used the front aux input on my Pioneer DEH-P6800 and had great sound from satelitte radio, I got tired of cords getting snagged and just not having a clean look around the dash. So I installed this unit along with the SC-VDOC1 car kit. As the other reviewer stated, this unit can and will freeze up. Mine did the day after installation. Receiver showed the display, but gave no sound. Reconnected power lead of adapter box to a red(switched)power source and have had no more problems. Do wish the Pioneer HU would display artist/song title just like plug&play receivers. Overall, very good product. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Pioneer SiriusConnect Adapter Written By beartard, Atlanta, GA on Thursday, March 13, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Most of the time, this unit performs as expected. Unfortunately, it's prone to freezes where the user will have to remove all power to it in order to reset it. This is great if it's not mounted in the dash, or the fuse panel is easy to reach. Used with a Pioneer DEH-P9800BT. 15 out of 17 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Hands-on research What's in the box? | In-depth notes What's in the box?

SHENANDOAH — With the Creston girls finishing third and the boys finishing fourth Thursday at the Hawkeye 10 Conference cross country meet here, it marked the best joint finish for the two teams in the same season in 25 years.
The accolades for the Creston teams didn't stop there, though, as the girls junior varsity team won the Hawkeye 10 championship.
The Creston girls varsity team faced stiff competition going up against Class 3A No. 9 Harlan and a strong Shenandoah/Essex team, but competed well and finished third with 78 points. Harlan won the team competition with 33 points and Shenandoah/Essex came in second with 52.
Leading the way for the Panthers was sophomore Maria Mostek, who finished third overall in 15:24 behind Harlan's Jess Feldman and Bailey Kuhl, after challenging the Harlan duo for much of the race.
After Feldman broke contact from Kuhl and Mostek a little more than halfway into the race, Mostek held a slight advantage over Kuhl until the final 400 meters of the race.
"With Maria, she hung right in there with Feldman from Harlan, and Feldman was able to pull away at the end. Kuhl snuck up on here and overtook her, and we'll remember that one," head coach Pat Schlapia said. "She ran a very strong, solid race."
Senior Emily Wignall became a four-time all-conference performer as she finished seventh with a time of 15:49.
"Emily ran one of her best races of the season," Schlapia said. "She cut the gap back on Maria somewhat."
A pair of freshmen — Taylor Briley and Caitlin McIlravy — also ran strong races, as Briley earned a top-20 medal with her 17th-place finish and McIlravy moved into the four-spot for the Panthers, finishing 24th. Both runners finished in under 17:00 for the 4K course, with Briley running 16:32 and McIlravy running 16:57.
"We've been stressing about cutting the gap on our first two girls and Taylor made a great stride in doing that," Schlapia said. "Caitlin McIlravy ran her best race of the season. She was on fire running today."
Maddie Skarda rounded out the team scoring by finishing 27th. Madison Hance and Jessica Beatty finished 30th and 31st respectively.
The boys team greatly improved on last year's eighth-place finish, by finishing fourth Thursday with 133 points — four points ahead of Kuemper Catholic, which had beaten the Panthers in each of the teams' three meetings this year.
Sophomore Jay Wolfe, who missed last year's conference meet with injury, earned all-conference honors by finishing eighth overall with a new personal best time of 17:40.
Fellow sophomores Kaleb Cook and Brant Hudson stepped up and ran 25th and 26th overall in 18:38 and 18:39, respectively.
"Kaleb Cook in 25th, this was his best race of the season by far," Schlapia said. "He's been running consistent, but he made a big jump up. That was awesome to see."
The close pack of Cook, Hudson and junior Garret Taylor, who finished 32nd, was a big help to the Panther team score.
Kruz Adamson, who rounded out the team scoring by finishing 42nd, also made a big impact on the team scoring, as he passed several runners in the final 400 meters of the race.
"Kruz had a nice finish there," Schlapia said. "Him picking off a couple of people at the end there, that makes a big difference with that four-point margin over Kuemper. Even those six and seven guys (Travis Miller and Zack Peppmeier), anybody they pick off is going to help us out there."
Miller and Peppmeier finished 50th and 51st, respectively.
Schlapia said this was the best team finish for the boys team in almost 20 years.
The Creston girls junior varsity team came into the meet gunning for Shenandoah/Essex, which had beaten the Panthers by seven points last week at Atlantic.
Thanks to putting all five scoring runners in the top 17 Thursday, the Creston girls knocked off Shenandoah/Essex for the JV team title by a 53-57 margin.
"The last time we won a girls JV title was back in 1992," Schlapia said. "That was a proud moment, and the girls were proud to be able to stand up on top of the podium. Seeing them take first, that even shows how strong the whole overall program is right now. I'm very proud of them."
Scoring runners on the girls JV were Monica Powers (fifth), Jenna Hayes (sixth), Micah McCutchan (12th), Savannah Hartman (13th) and Katie Stevens (17th).
On the boys side, Creston finished seventh in the team standings. Senior Jacob Wolfe once again led the JV boys, finishing 28th in 20:27. Junior Evan Nielsen finished 51st in 21:10.
"Jacob Wolfe has been our top JV runner all season as a senior, and he finished 28th. It was nice to see him finish in those low 20's," Schlapia said. "Evan Nielsen finished 51st. He's been dealing with some major back problems the past few weeks, so it was nice to see him run a tough race like that."
With Thursday's meet being the last JV competition for the Panthers this season, it marked the final competition for seven senior runners. Those finishing their cross country careers were Stevens, Taylor Hudson, Carlea Schuler, Emily Lange, Emily Schroeder, Jacob Wolfe and Austin Hurt.
The Creston varsity teams compete in the State Qualifying Meet Thursday in Atlantic. Class 1A action begins at 3:30 p.m. with Class 3A action starting at 4:30 p.m.

Education Advocates receive referrals from probation officers to work with adolescents on probation who are experiencing a variety of educational challenges. Advocates provide services that focus on:
Education Advocates work closely with the youth, their parents, probation officers, and educational community resources. They provide a wide range of services that include some specialized interventions that make a very positive difference for the kids they are helping.
Like the Education Advocates, Learning Specialists focus on supporting and building educational success, with great results. They work with children, age 8-13, who are involved in the department's early intervention service, Family Support Program. Working closely with Family Support Specialists, Learning Specialists provide:
Education Services provides a specific vision screening for kids because it can be a key factor affecting educational success. Irlen Syndrome, also known as Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome, refers to the brain's ability to process visual information. Helen Irlen, an educational psychologist, first identified this syndrome of light sensitivity which can impact:
Vision screening identifies this syndrome; many of the children we work with need intervention in this area. Colored lenses glasses and colored overlays for reading are used to help the brain process visual information more effectively.
Structure of Intellect (SOI) is a theory of intelligence developed by Dr. J. P. Guilford. The testing process assesses an individual's receiving, processing, assimilation, storage and use of information being presented. A plan is developed to increase abilities, skills, and competencies to "brain build" – develop an individual's ability to use information, make judgments, solve problems, and be creative. Many kids involved served by Education Advocates and Learning Specialists benefit from SOI remediation as an educational intervention.
Yet another creative tool we use is the Belgau Balance Board. This is used to improve balance, which in turns affects and supports attentiveness, focus, and learning.
Besides providing services for department clients, Marion County Juvenile Department is a community site for free workshops for any parent wanting to learn more about such things as Individualized Education Plans (IEP), disability accommodation, and educational support for parents. Participants don't have to be involved with the department to attend these workshops, so give us a call if you want more information.

Raw Super Green Salad
9 comments:
This looks wonderful. Great idea with the brown rice burrito meal! I've been eating lots of greens lately as well. I'm curious what you guys think about raw cruciferous veggies (goitrogenic) and hypothyroidism? I worry a bit about all the raw veggies I eat in that category.
Once again, great post!
You make very dish look amazing, Ali! The meal ideas sound perfect, too. And, yes, that collard plant is beautiful. Hope the weather continues to cooperate for you. We've heard and seen bullfrogs already in our stream that feeds the lake we live on, but it's back to cold today and snow this weekend. Those guys better dig in to keep warm!ReplyDelete
I too, like Melissa wonder about the goitrogenic veggies! I have pretty bad hypothyroidism. Am working with my doctor currently, trying to stay off meds. I so want to believe that I can turn it around with great nutrition and supplements!ReplyDelete
And I love green smoothies and love the possible benefits!!!
Please share what you guys think of this!! Please.
My raw cruciferous has increased exponentially and my pulse is lower than ever, my temps are low . . . sigh
Thanks for your help!
Hi Ali, Everyone who tried this couldn't wait to eat it again, a very memorable dish. Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
Thanks gals! Tom is putting a very thorough article together on cruciferous veggies and the possible goitrogenic effects. Hopefully it will be in our January newsletter this week! (We haven't done one in six months!)ReplyDelete
-Ali :)
Yummy salad recipe! :)ReplyDelete
i cannot say enough about this super green salad. so zippy! so crunchy! soooo green!! my 7 year old helped make it and then helped eat it too... i am one satisfied mama.ReplyDelete

Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I'm trying to add more greens to my family's diet and was somewhat afraid this was going to be too "bold" of an attempt. To my surprise, both my husband and our three year old son thought it delicious and ate every bite! I added dried cranberries (a favorite snack in our house) in order to include something that looked familiar, and it worked well with the other flavors. Thank you again!ReplyDelete
My body loves this salad. I do just carrots and beets in it, then throw in some goat cheese and kalamata olives just before eating. Thanks for the recipe!ReplyDelete

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Am I the only guy who hates playing in groups of 5 and six with slow ass people? Also, I'm sick and tired of playing with people who smoke pot while they play. If this happends again I'm quitting the group and playing somewhere else even its a tag match. Today I was waiting for some friends to join me after doubles and a few people wanted to start a tag match. Well when i said I was waiting for someone else, they started to make comments because I had a #14 of 75 tag. Well i can care less, the tag is a souvenir for me more than anything but I didn't want the Club to start to cast me out so I played. Well this was going so slow with 6 people and I hate that. Then in the middle of the match an old lady pulls out pot and starts smoking which pisses me off to no end. I didn't want to disrespect the old lady so i didn't say anything. Well in the end I ended up with a 53 tag which i don't care. To put it in perspective, I shot a -7 on the same course yesterday and today it was a Par. Am I alone in this matter?

This conversation is closed.
'TEDfriend/colleague finder' - Your opinion required.
As a long standing member/follower of the TED world, I've seen dozens of great ideas put forth each month, both by its speakers and the users of this forum.
However, this raises an issue..
Many of the ideas never see the light of day or eventually fail to take off, not because of any impassible reason, rather due to several slight issues that I will explain further on..
Another issue is that many of us appear to be isolated from fellow TED-like equals; Alot of us unable to find friends, colleagues, partnerships and groups of people who share our ideals and ambitions within our local regions, Leaving most of us restricted to this site (for example) where our connections are usually limited to brief conversations with like-minded individuals..but located impractical distances away; Not an ideal situation for those who require others to put their 'ideas worth spreading' into action.
For this I came up with a potential solution.
A dating-style website, but focused on finding like minded individuals within your local region, whether it be for :
Making friends who share your ideals
Forming think-groups
Entrepreneur groups to help form and progress a business venture
Support groups
Political groups
etc etc.
As stated earlier, a key issue as to why many great ideas never get off the ground is due to the lack of help and/or
Available support
People with similar goals, enthusiasm
or Partnerships
that are required to get things moving, therefore having like minded people who can provide such help and interest will significantly improve the chance of success in the areas that matter AND will also allow the help to extend in both directions.
This would certainly require some TED promotions to provide enough 'friend seekers' to make it viable, but I would be more than willing to setup an appropriate site or allow others to do so that would fulfill this requirement.
Afterall, how valuble is an idea that can't be put into practice?..
Closing Statement from Xavier Belvemont
Now that we've received enough of a response (almost all constructive and positive), we will soon present our idea to TED officially and see if we can make this idea worth spreading, become a reality.
Thankyou to everyone for your comments and interest.
Bruno Carre
Feb 3 2012: to Xavier,
- +2
This is a great question.
and..to all: my apologies because I just started a conversation with the same idea in mind, only it (could) start with an extra search feature in TED conversations, that is a country-related search (here: http://www.ted.com/conversations/9139/could_ted_conversations_be_imp.html)
Why, because should a TED member want to act, starting with TED members who live nearby would be a pragmatic and efficient start to get things moving.
In a nutshell, mix TED's global visions and ideas with local members.
A "glocal" feature. With that, should Xavier live in Brussels or I in Northern England, we would certainly be having a pint at the pub right now and discuss concrete actions... :))Jan 25 2012: We are thinking how to connect and meet people with similar ideas at our TEDx event and by other means. I think a brilliant idea!
Jan 27 2012: This reminds me of something called infodipity (information + serendipity). I've first known about this sort of social experiment in TEDxBogotá.
A brief explanation of the concept, here: http://bit.ly/bLzs3R
Jan 28 2012: I didn't know it! Thank you, Seba!Jan 25 2012: I agree with this in theory... I only worry, that if it became a popular social tool, people who didn't even watch ted talks, would start signing up for the social component, along with advertising bots... I think we could make it work though. Maybe you could fix this with a cookie that tracks viewing, and sends you an invite to the community, when you reach 2 hours of viewing, for example. Invite only is the exclusive and cool way to pilot a program like this anyway.
In general though... Great idea, which I firmly second.
Jan 25 2012: Yes, I considered such issues and I think certain basic filtering actions will take care of most of it
(Captcha words to block bots, moderator approval for first adverts and as you said --cookies and basic automated trackers and exclusive invites).
Ofcourse that being said, I think its possible to continue a high quality service whilst also extending the metaphorical olive branch to other groups that may not of otherwise heard of TED.
For example, there are a number of free-thinker, progressive and business groups that could theoretically become valuble assets to the site(s) that may not be overly familiar with TED, and such a site may act as a giant advertisement for it.
Anyway, we won't put the cart before the horse, we first need to see if the TED moderators of the site will consider the idea to be a worth-while venture.
Thankyou for the great input.Jan 25 2012: Restrict access to TED site members and Have a TED talk per week or month requirement to remain active on the social site.
Jan 26 2012: Its a nice idea that would certainly be a good filtering system, but unfortunately theres no way that could be implemented AND give us a busy site (a requirement) that helps people all around the world find like-minded people and start up small scale projects.
As with a dating site (the same prinicipal this website would be using) you need 100's-10,000's of users to be successful in finding the people you require. So we have to be alot more flexible to make that happen.
Thankyou for the comment though.
Jan 26 2012: the ability to just move from a thread conversation to chat environment would even be usefulJan 26 2012: Hi David,
Don't you think the "massification" of TED is already happening? Just need to compare the comments on the talks from 1 or 2 years ago with the current ones…
I don't know if that's a bad thing, from a cultural promotion perspective I think it's good, for my personal taste it's undesirable..
On Xavier's comment, love the idea.
Jan 26 2012: massification? well I think their a difference between a mass movement and a mob. Perhaps a tedcredit filter would be a means of keeping the more I don't want to say dumb or time wasting ideas,so the less consistent with TED concepts and less executable ideas from being in the proposed space? Also as I am new here can you tell me is there a way to drop a conversation from your conversation queue?
Jan 26 2012: Hi Russell, Welcome!
I'm not clear on how the difference you quote works in these environment (mass/mob).
Sadly I don't know of any means to filter, you just start to know the community and read some people more than others, maybe the ted creed is useful, but it's not a fixed solution.
Sometimes I just stop reading some discussions, but that just me.
JBFeb 8 2012: If you have ever written to a TED presenter and received a reply, consider yourself lucky and part of an extremely small minority. By the time a presenter gets to present at TED they do not want to read your email. What they want is your donation or political support.
For TED to be what people believe that it already is the concept has to be democratized. A kind of dating service is exactly what it needs. What is scary for TED is that the democratized version may overshadow the elitist version that now exists. The disruption could be marvelous.
Feb 8 2012: I disagree. There are plenty of TED speakers that would love to hear from the TED community via email. They may not have the time to answer everyone immediately, but they are quite interested in being engaged, especially around the site on their TED Talks.Jan 25 2012: I'm not sure if it was you or someone else who brought this idea up one or two weeks ago, anyway as I said then - I would fully support the creation of such a site!
Then again, why create a new site? TED.com and TEDC already provide a good basis to start from and build upon, their social components now need to be expanded.
Jan 25 2012: Hello Sabin.
The immediate issue that could arise with having the venture directly on the site is that (as with this particular conversation area) may not be made visible enough for the number of people required.
Also that the intriciate scripts that would/may have to be included for the database (plus the potential bandwidth) could theoretically reek havoc with the TED site.
Ofcourse this is just first-glance theoretical issues, so if the idea takes off I will be happy to bring this up with who ever would be involved.
Thankyou for the comment and the idea.
Jan 25 2012: The people at TED could easily allow a link between the two sites couldn't they?
Jan 26 2012: Yes I believe that is the best conclusion.
Looking at the PHPscripts required, I don't believe this site could house it without causing a number of complications in this part of the site.Jan 24 2012: I think this sounds like a great idea!Feb 20 2012: Maybe you just need to encourage more TED members to check the box on their profile page to allow other users to contact them. It really is not that hard to find people with similar interests on the site if you just look around a little and read for questions and comments by users who obviously share a similar cause with you. Also, just adding a location or group feature to TED would help people meet up in the real world, as Jimmy Strobl suggested.
Feb 20 2012: I can that all these features have been suggested to TED over and over again but without result.
Just check http://www.ted.com/conversations/2456/do_you_have_a_suggestion_for_t.html or http://www.ted.com/conversations/1818/leave_one_idea_for_improving_t.html to see similar suggestions (and more).Feb 16 2012: I just have to see something, what if we added to existing ted site an option to group topics and send ivites to all posters undersimilar topicsFeb 13 2012: I would appreciate something like this. So many good ideas in this world never happen in real life because the idea holder never comes in contact with others with a similar cause.Feb 10 2012: Any progress on this I would love to see it happen I just used facebook to open a group for me and other I knew who were interested in Electoral Reform in the USA and its working very well , but its missing that ability to hook up with others as you dating site modle would offer.
Feb 13 2012: Hey Russell,
I am also interested in electoral reform. What is your facebook group called? I might check it out.
Feb 16 2012: friend me on facebook most of my groups theire are secret or invite only groupsJan 26 2012: Hi Xavier!
Awesome idea here. Sign me up. How can I help? I function best working with others on a "vision" or even a most small local project. Makes it fun and I get energized from the interaction. And will imseemyou in Edinburgh oe later on when I visit London ? ( I like how you compare this with a "dating site" which I've done for some years but here we will hopefully find lots of other 'soulmates' with whom to collaborate ( or have fun with!).
Jan 26 2012: Hello Lee.
Well we're not entirely sure how things will go as yet, as TED would have to play a large role in the advertising (and possibly being a sister site of TED) in order to work. So if TED agrees then decisions will be made from there on who will help and how etc etc.
'And will imseemyou in Edinburgh oe later on when I visit London ?'
Unfortunately I couldn't possibly be further from both of those locations and with the selling of my car --there isn't really a practical way to make this a localized project for both of us outside of moderating the theoretical website online....Kind of validates my point on the necessity of my idea, unfortunately.
Elizabeth Gu
Jan 25 2012: I'm so glad that you've come up with this great idea!
- +1
I've also thought similar idea as you did.
Now that you've persuaded some people here, the next thing we should carry on is making some websites or meetings for ordinary people who are willing to do so--if it's possible to gather the meetings.
I've been depressed since there's no one I can talk about the amazing ideas that I've learned in TED site in person.
And some of my friends even don't know what TED site is!
Even though few of them said they'd heard about this community before, but they don't seem like to join this site and add some comments here--maybe it's because they cannot use English unfortunately.....
Anyway, it's good to hear that there are some people who have same thoughts and hopes like Xavier.
Btw, Xavier, may I ask you a question?
I think I saw your two identical IDs in this TED site, do you really have two IDs?
Just out of curiosity :)
Jan 25 2012: Amazingly ever since finding this site I have been pulled out of my depression but I did / do have the experience of an idea of mine (one I didn't think much of) inspireing feed back and action. But I can't say what it would mean to have the ability to pursue more closly ideas making them actual projects instead of concepts would be fantastic.Jan 24 2012: .
*NOTE for readers*
For the idea to progress (If TED users find this idea to be valid), we would need additional feedback that could be presented to TED.
Silent agreement/recognition unfortunately isn't enough; So even if you have nothing particular to say (but approve the idea), please comment anyway.
As stated in the article, its awfully hard to get ideas off the ground without the required support. Thankyou.
Feb 15 2012: I support the idea too. TED is the platform for 'ideas worth spreading', but some of these ideas might need additional implementation, besides the TED wishes which have a (relatively) larger action potential. Of course, it is one thing to say "I'd like to help" but a complete other to invest your valuable time in the idea. Nevertheless, such a platform should be developed to get more potential in putting forth brilliant ideas to practice.Jan 24 2012: Hear Hear! I'd be thrilled to be apart of such a site, I also would suggest a sort of swap meet section, most of us have some sort of access to something because of our work or environment that might prove useful but expensive for others,, I am thinking about a Perk net where you would post things like 15 % employee discount at Walmart, or scrap metal , or whatever the person might have available. A sort of all barter craigslist for home projects
Jan 24 2012: I like this idea and if the website goes ahead I will be sure to add something along these lines.
I was already considering a section where businesses can offer their services/products to other website members for a discounted price (essentially forming business links and increasing sales/savings for all), this would make a fine addition to that.
jag .
Feb 22 2012: Good idea, its a problem that I've experienced also. The TED community part of the website, could be improved to make it easier to find and meet people, one solution is the one you've put forward.Feb 18 2012: There are already good sites for this, if you're going to start a new one you'd be putting in A LOT of work, not only building it but also getting users there, without members it's useless.
- 0
The idea is good but don't reinvent the wheel, use existing tools.
Feb 18 2012: 'There are already good sites for this,'
Actually no there aren't. Hence the lack of achievements in this particular field.
The social networks that are available are not (in my opinion, as shared by many others here too) don't have the required database, functions and flexibility needed to create a true mechanism for finding like minded people pursuing the same interests within local areas.
' you'd be putting in A LOT of work, not only building it but also getting users there, without members it's useless.'
Well you may aswell have said that to the creators of facebook, twitter, youtube and TED itself etc etc
I.E/ Its alot of work, some are already out there already that do this, so don't bother starting such sites.
Everyone begins somewhere and to think that you would be 'reinventing the wheel' and that its not worth the work just because some other source happens to have a vaguely similar function (that isn't actually ideal for this particular intention), then you're just providing a defeatist attitude that more or less concludes 'You have to be rich to get rich, so just stay poor and don't waste your time trying'..
Feb 18 2012: I'm sorry if I offended you Xavier.
Your conclusions of what I mean is not the way I meant for it to be interpreted, and is not what I'm saying.
Let me try to rephrase.
As a not too long standing member of TED (1.5 years coming up soon) I also get somewhat irritated when great ideas don't lead to the things that they had the capabilities of doing.
Finding like minded people in my vicinity is hard as well, right now I'm doing the tiresome but needed work of "creating" them, Inspiring the people around me to action and ideas works really well actually. But that's not the problem, is it?
Hmm... a thought just came to me... Aren't you just looking for TED but with location and group feature?Feb 16 2012: Love this idea. Was already toying with the idea of creating a Meetup.com local group, but a TED integrated site would be ideal for both local and national networking.Feb 15 2012: its great to hear this idea phrased this way Xavier, but even greater to read your replies and the way you are thinking about it. i've been thinking in this direction for several weeks now, but i'm more interested in the mechanism of idea sharing and interaction.
i thought i could form a network of like minded people by a direct referral chain.
i'm discussing a thinking workshop with a couple of friends of mine, asking each of them to think of two interesting like minded friends to invite.
the way you are thinking is obviously way more capacious. i can imagine the profile i'd design for myself, the thinking groups i might join and the and the criteria i'd search for in people. i'm thinking of how would the "advanced search" form look like.
a great idea is in labor i see, i cant wait.Feb 9 2012: If you read some of the other comments above you will hear a very different experience.Feb 9 2012: If this group or facility is going to be for practitioners or scientists, people who contribute regularly to TED, my request would be to give quota to each of the member for inviting people (perhaps out of comments that they have made) to become observing if not participating members. That would possibly keep the doors open for a person like me.Feb 8 2012: This idea is actually more important than TED. If it can't get traction within TED, perhaps it should happen outside of TED with a new name and infrastructure. In other words, you don't need TED's blessing or cooperation to do this.Feb 8 2012: This is a brilliant idea. I suggested a similar idea to TED more than a year ago and nothing came of it. I hope that you have better luck. When it is set up I will participate.
Corporations have used expertise databases to connect people with needed expertise for decades. The dating service seems like an even better idea to me.Feb 7 2012: The biggest drawback to change, and new ideas taking hold, is that we are not the ones in a position to implement great change. Problems are systemic, deeply rooted in the institutions that need changing Change can take generations. TED is a huge improvement over the past, where ideas did not have the change to become viral. We need to be satisfied simply planting the seeds of change.
Also, TED profiles have a feature that allows users to email each other. This is an under used feature of the community. Instead people seem to prefer to continue conversation within the comments areas.
Feb 7 2012: 'Also, TED profiles have a feature that allows users to email each other. This is an under used feature of the community. Instead people seem to prefer to continue conversation within the comments areas.'
Well as stated in other comments below, thats a system that still doesn't allow for any real organization (beyond what already exists) because it once again relies on happenstance that you will come across someone who wishes to act out on the same goals as yourself (but usually having to coax them into forming a team), rather than a site devoted to people publicizing it.
There are always available lesser used alternatives, but just like a dating site, you're far more likely to come across someone who wants a date on a dating site than at a museum.
Feb 7 2012: I am part of several sites where people exchange information, however getting people to work together on a common goal is extremely difficult if not impossible. Getting TEDx events together are difficult, but they not very controversial and threatening to the status quo.
Perhaps you might give a few examples of goals people would wish to act on as a team.
Take education, there are many talks here that demonstrate ways education might be improved. Certainly, we all know of people in our own community that want to improve education. Yet there is a lack of coordination in developing any plans that what accomplish anything significant.
Your "dating site" would improve this how?
Feb 7 2012: Well for example (several of which have already been successfully tested in small formats and worked).
A person would would create an advert (fitting into one of several categories) and make it clear about what they are looking for and what they would hope to achieve.
The latest successful examples include:
1) I am interested in developing a new energy saving technology and would like minded and/or skilled individuals to help me construct a prototype in return for a share of the recognition/profits.
2) I am not entirely sure what I am hopeing to do, but I would like to form a brainstorming group of similar individuals who wish to improve the world to sort something out
3) I would like to find someone in a business venture (details of business as follows)
I'm paraphrasing our existing examples ofcourse, but having a directory where people can advertise their goals and actively seek help/friends/groups works.
As you said yourself - we all know people in our community..
but just like we also know that people in our community are single (dating site analogy again), it simply takes a third party (such as a dating site) to get such people together.
Further down we even have someone organizing a TEDX event and wants to connect people for this same purpose, and agrees with this idea.Feb 8 2012: Well I have been using Face book to pull together groups of my friends who were interested in working on this or that project. What a bout a Social Network style of TED friend finder where you could like a topic then inside the topic like a concept, and then join a group of people actively working on the project?Feb 1 2012: Please think "open source." There are plenty of people who have great ideas and talent but not so much education, maybe limited vocabulary. Please don't make your enterprise just another gate keeping activity to keep the "riffraff" out. Be part of the solution not part of the problem. We can work together, all of us, even the frustrated and broke, the uneducated and desperately poor, please be inclusive, please.Feb 1 2012: Xavier, I don't believe it's necessary to form such communities according to any physical map. In fact, the advantages of virtual communities over physical ones prevail in the realm of ideas, imo.
The question is "How do we design this community so that good ideas are supported?" One answer is a marketplace for ideas. Here is one way that this might work:
To begin, every member must pay at least $5 to join the Idea Marketplace, and each receives one Cred per dollar, which they can spend within the marketplace. These Creds are subject to severe demurrage: they lose 10% value per month if not spent; but any Cred spent starts with value refreshed. This encourages a minimum of monthly participation because of loss aversion, and it eliminates hoarding. The money forfeited through demurrage goes to a Community Chest.
The community also establishes a Cred/money exchange, where members can cash-in, but only for pursuing approved idea-development plans - they cannot cash-out.
To have an idea approved, other members of the community must vote for it. In practice, a member shares their idea with friends in the community (limit one idea per month) and their friends can give Cred support and/or pass it on to their friends, etc. This practice would provide seed funding and weed-out unpopular or undeveloped ideas.
Every week, the ideas garnering the top number of Creds are shared community-wide, where all members can award additional Creds. Members also vote for their favorite idea. The top vote recipient gets that week's entire Community Chest and is eligible to cash-in to proceed with their plan. I think it's worth noting that this popular-vote arrangement does not permit anyone to buy a win. The remaining ideas retain their Creds on account (subject to demurrrage), and their creators are able to improve plans (utilizing input received in the process) then resubmit to their friends the following month.
Ning communities have all the tools necessary to host this
Feb 8 2012: I believe that a physical map is a great place to start. No amount of technology has replaced the human to human interaction. Project Meet-Up has shown the human to human interaction works.Jan 28 2012: I still think TED needs an informal area where the off-topic chatter goes (the stuff the mods delete, but actually helps people connect with each other or just follow up with people). I'm game if that's included.
I don't necessarily require research or development partners. Is there a TED group on LinkedIn? (I can't believe it never occurred to me to look until now.)
Feb 2 2012: Hi Gisela, there's plenty of opportunity for on- and off-topic talk on these idea/question/debate pages.
My experience is that great ideas need to find the right venue. Usually that venue is the people associated with those whom would immediately benefit. When you find yourself restricted by the expectations of others, then you might only be haunting the wrong crowd.
Feb 3 2012: It depends. There are patches where the moderation is relaxed, and then suddenly there will be a blitz where posts will suddenly vanish en masse.
Even when the participants are fine with the discussion.
Feb 3 2012: I guess I prefer moderation that is intolerant of rudeness, regardless of majority opinion, otherwise the board is eventually lost to trolls. What I'm talking about is off-topic posts having this venue. Have you seen trouble there?Feb 3 2012: To Kevin's last comment, that's exactly why these comments get removed. This is now 5 comments deep (including mine) of an off-topic discussion. Personally, I find the long jumps between one on topic thread and the next to be distracting when tons of off-topic comments run in between them.
But to Gisela's point, I do see why an off-topic balance should be supported.
And yes there is a TED LinkedIn group http://www.linkedin.com/groups/TED-Ideas-Worth-Spreading-138801Jan 28 2012: the problem with ted.com is that it only shows the ideas and allow the people to debate and have a conversation.
The good thing about ted is that it becomes the starting point of it all,great ideas.lets say meeting place,the oven where it all starts.
I think ted should create a system that will automatically connect the people,discussions and topics related to each other.Jan 28 2012: add me on Facebook.lets start an NGO.
I got friends that could help
Jan 30 2012: Hi there.
I will be contacting TED in a few days (just forming a number of PHP scripts to provide example ideas)
If they say yes I will take things from there (depending on what they say).
Take care.Jan 25 2012: Hmm,
Well, there are the local TEDx events going on worldwide, where you can find like-minded people in real life.
Starting a TEDx yourself is also a way to attract those people yourself.
Connecting with people is a good thing, and spreading and sharing ideas as well...
Aside from that, there are many TED-like organisations, and I bet there are some in your environment (if not in Doncaster, I'm sure there are in Leeds). Maybe they do something like what you are looking for already?
Jan 25 2012: Its not enough by a great length and/or perhaps unnecessarily impractical when you can provide an easy to use global 24/7 data-base specifically focused on pairing/grouping people together within the local area, as opposed to travelling large distances or setting up scaled events in the hopes of striking up a personal conversation with someone who may just so happen to have the same ambitions, be at the event at the same time as you and live within a practical distance.
Very much the case that if you were to promote yourself/selves in the correct manor for this goal at such events, you'd simply find yourself saying 'if only there was a database to make this easier and more publicly known..'.
It seems more like postponing the inevitable/ most efficient option.
Not that you can't do both, simply that you'd be expending copious amounts of energy in the pursuit of happenstance when theres another option on the table that could be more widespread, help more people and let others realize that finding such people is infact a practical option (that may not have been considered beforehand).
Jan 25 2012: Maybe you can mail TED and offer them you do this for them?
Jan 25 2012: I will do soon enough, I'm just waiting for some more feedback from TED users to help strengthen the case and I would also need to work out the website and systems beforehand.
Hopefully I will contact them in the following week when I can build a few examples to demonstrate how it would work.
Also, thankyou for the comments and response.Jan 25 2012: Ted ex enevts are awesome and I want to go to one let alone host one, but so much could be actually pursued by electronically connected coworkers (see topic TEDBEDS) for example and all that is needed is a more fluid communication system. Obviously it would be better for a site like this to be a part of TED web site structure after all you are entitled to demand quality control over format and content if your name is involved. I urge you to remain true to the concept of your mission and encourage this collaberation.Feb 1 2012: I was so lucky last year when my daughter offered to pay for tickets to our local TEDX event and we went together. I could not have been more disappointed. Everyone seemed to have their clique formed. There were no discussion groups facilitated. The only real conversation we had was at lunch. I tried to approach people to talk about the ideas in the presentations but could not even get most to make eye contact. I did get to talk to a couple of the speakers but they only wanted to talk not converse. The ideas presented were fantastic but the even could have been managed better.

You lovelies already know that we are always on the hunt for the latest and greatest lookbooks for you, and among the heaps coming in with the holiday cards, Nomia's spring '11 offering really stood out from the pack. The line, created by 27-year-old designer Yara Flinn in '07, takes inspiration from video artists and sculpture installations, as well as Flinn's previous stints at Fondazione Prada and United Bamboo. For spring, the collection channelled athleticism, specifically basketball, for the WNBA star who looks like she definitely lives below 14th Street. Peep the b-ball references in tie-front skirts that mimic a jersey tied around your waist, and in mesh and net utilized so niftily in the slashed shorts. Flinn must have been clocking in extra gym hours—she was also aesthetically galvanized by bandages and sports-medicine wraps. The idea of being restrained and tightly wrapped is echoed in the structured cropped topper and that killer white bandage dress. And despite the sweaty references, Yara nails the edgy and effortless downtown cool along the lines of say, Pamela Love, who coincidentally happens to be palsies with Flinn. The shots are major impetus to get us back to the gym (they're tight man!), even though we're not planning to hit the courts anytime soon.

Putin Grants French Actor Depardieu Russian Citizenship
Originally published on Thu January 3, 2013 3:12 pm
If French actor Gerard Depardieu really does want to renounce his native land and evade its taxes, he's now got a home land in Russia if he wishes.
Russian President Vladimir Putin today ordered that Depardieu be granted Russian citizenship, the Kremlin announced.
As The Associated Press writes, the 64-year-old Depardieu has "been vocal in his opposition to French President Francois Hollande's plans to raise the tax on earned income above $1.33 million to 75 percent from the current high of 41 percent. Russia has a flat 13-percent tax rate."
In mid-December, the actor wrote French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, to say "he would surrender his passport and French social security card," the AP adds, and "in October, the mayor of a small Belgian border town announced that Depardieu had bought a house and set up legal residence there, a move that was slammed by [France's] newly-elected Socialist government."
As word of Depardieu's complaints spread last month, Putin announced that if the actor "really wanted to renounce his French citizenship, he would find the doors to Russia wide open — with a residency permit and Russian citizenship his for the asking," The New York Times writes.
Why is Putin reaching out to Depardieu? The Washington Post notes that the actor "is no stranger to Russia. He appeared in a recent ad for a Russian bank, and in 2011, he was on location in Archangel for a French TV film in which he played Grigory Rasputin, the mad monk of pre-Soviet fame." He has befriended Ramzan Kadyrov, the Russian federation's man in the capital of Chechnya. who has "ruthlessly eliminated his opposition over the years since his own father, who preceded him in office, was assassinated."
The Times adds that it also seems likely that Putin, "saw a poetic opportunity in the chance for Russia, long known for losing wealthy citizens to the West, to claim one in return."
According to the AP, a spokesman for Depardieu "declined to say whether he had accepted the Russian offer, and refused all comment."

Some dogs are naturally inclined to dig, and though it is perfectly normal behavior most of the time, it can be troublesome for pet parents who don't particularly care for holes in their yard and furniture.
So why do they do it? Dogs often dig at the ground and circle before lying down, as though they're trying to make a softer resting place. Dogs also dig when trying to get warm or stay cool, to entertain themselves, to bury valued items, and when hunting ground-dwelling animals.
What to Do If Your Dog Digs
• If Your Dog Digs to Keep Cool or Get Comfortable
Dogs living outside in very hot or cold weather often dig holes to sleep in, especially if they don't have access to proper shelter, like an insulated doghouse. Even with a suitable doghouse, some dogs prefer to retreat under a deck and dig a big hole.
• If Your Dog Digs to Entertain Herself
Many dogs dig for the fun of it. This type of digging is the hardest to treat because the action of digging is rewarding in and of itself. To achieve success, rather than attempting to eliminate the behavior, try to redirect your dog's digging to an acceptable place.
• If Your Dog Digs to Bury Her Stuff
The best way to eliminate this type of digging is to refrain from giving your dog treats, food or chew bones that she will not finish immediately. Alternatively, you can build your dog a digging pit and encourage her to bury items there, instead of in your favorite flower bed.
• If Your Dog Digs to Hunt Small Animals
Most dogs love to chase small, fast-moving furry creatures, even if they never actually try to catch them. If your dog digs to pursue small animals like moles, chipmunks and ground squirrels, you can set live traps and humanely remove those animals from your property.
For more information about helping curb your pooch's digging habit, please visit our Virtual Pet Behaviorist.

Yeah, it is.... BUt i dont think im that slow.
If you can weld a 2G test plate with this thing set to it's cover settings, then i will applaude you.
Being my first inverter type machine, i am just not familiar with it and wanted to know if others feel the same way. Atleast with the old red machine, i could see my volts amd IPM and know where i stand.
I honestly asked the question to see if the hot settings are the norm, or if i needed to have my machine looked at.
Maybe i need to just burn a roll of wire at each wire speed designation and calculate my IPM and go from there.....

thanks for the link to welding web, will have to hang out there a bit and do some reading.
Im using solid wire, so i guess i will go down to the next lowest settings and see what happens. I am so used to having a digital read out, all my tested settings are acutaul IPM and voltage numbers.... I dont know how the dial numbers on the Miller equate to acutal IPM and volts. Guess i will just have to figure that out later.

As I understand it the wire feed numbers on the dial indicate the percentage of total wire feed available. So if your 211 has a maximum of 400 imp mad you set the knob at the half way mark it will feed about 200 imp. A whole lot of reviews suggest that the 211 is a hot welder. Fortunately it also has infinite adjustment on the metal thickness so you can move it down just a little bit toward the next thinner metal thickness even if you are using Autoset and it will cool it down a bit.

I sold my 211 when I found a good deal on a 252/dual running gear/30A spool gun and 2 K size bottles - but I agree, it runs hot. I found that about halfway between the thickness I was actually welding and the next size DOWN was about right.
That's whether you set manually or use Autoset.
The 252 also runs a bit hot, I find that Miller's own MIG calculator (the slide rule one) is a bit hot for me, so I pick the thinnest metal to be welded and stay near the low end of the recommendations, at least for the first pass.
Other things that'll help are a good helmet, a steady rest that's adjustable so you can stay on track COMFORTABLY, and NOT welding while you're TIRED. If a project takes a while to cut out, set up, clean, clamp, etc, I may TACK it that day but I'll start fresh the NEXT day on welding it out.
Works for me, even at 68... Steve

For those that want to dial in their wire speed real close, here's a little test you can do, and it's right on.
Look at your watch and pull the trigger on your wire gun and let it run for 6 seconds.
Cut the wire and measure the amount of wire that you cut off at the tip.
Take that measurement and add a zero to it. and that'll be the amount of wire your gun is set to run in 1 minute. From that point, if it's too much or not enough, you can readjust the wire speed up or down to get what you want. After adjustment retest again.
Hope this helps.Bill

How to get application id of an installed application? I want to find app id of Notes 2.0, so maybe later I will have a change to find extensions to that product.
The best way seems to be to use APK extractor. You don't actually have to extract any APK, this app will display the qualified name for each installed app. This should cover all apps.
If for some reason it can't find your app, look around on the SD card. If you're lucky, the app stores its data or settings in an folder that has the app's qualified name somewhere in
its path, like
You can look into the LogCat. Open the LogCat (either in Eclipse, or on cmd line- if the device is connected to your PC - or on your mobile itself, using any app which allows to view LogCat). Once LogCat is available, launch the app - the log corresponding to "ActivityManager" will display the activity started. It will usually be in the format:

ChrisO, "Everyman's Wine Snob" and JonM, the self professed "Beer drinking idiot from St. Louis" discuss value wines from South Africa as well as ChrisO's recent appearance on WineBizRadio.
Inspired by the book, "Ribolla Gialla Oslavia: The Invisible Part of a Wine," we travel to a little village in Italy called Oslavia that has been gaining popularity in the wine world for producing non-traditional, original wines with the Ribolla Gialla grape. The battle ground for both 20th century world wars, this area experienced complete destruction only to have strong independent winemakers return to replant its vineyards and rebuild. With Ribolla Gialla, you can drink Oslavia's history.
We talk to Nick Poleto Director of wine education for Kobrand Imports. Get out your smoking jacket, light up your cigars and kick back to the soothing tales of Port.
ChrisO, from vintuba.com, interviews Andrew Lazorchak from Wine Soiree, the man behind the latest wine aeration innovation. Watch as wine is spilled, decanters hugged, and millionaires made.
We are particularly excited about this podcast because we get to discuss a topic that is not usually associated with this region, and that is value. Join us as we taste through 3 wines; a white, rose, and red wine from the broader appellations of Bordeaux. All of the wines we taste are in the sub $15 range and deliver on the promise of good QPR (quality price ratio).
Ever wonder why the annual Hospice du Rhone event is held in Paso Robles California and not the Rhone Valley of France? Well so did we! We asked John Alban, the founder of and chief evangelist of the Hospice du Rhone movement, this very question and many others and got answers that may surprise you. Who would have thought that you would hear Rhone wines mentioned in the same sentence as Baskin Robins, 80's big hair glam rock, and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. What are some of your favorite Rhone style wines?

NCA Member Benefit
Training Videos on the Basics of Coffee Roasting & Agronomy
NCA is proud to announce the release of two new videos on Coffee Agronomy and Coffee Roasting. We sincerely hope that these videos will become a valuable tool in your employee training program.
The Coffee Roasting video is designed to provide a basic introduction to roasting for café employees, importer employees and roasting company employees who work away from the roaster's plant and need some basic knowledge about the roasting process. This training video reviews the fundamental phases of the roasting process, taking viewers step by step with expert commentary and visuals of the process in action.
The process is brought alive by tracing the steps through the eyes of two small regional roasters in the US Northwest. Topics include choosing, buying and testing the beans, cupping, roasting procedures, roast-type modulation, and packing and freshness protocols. (runtime is approx. 10 minutes)
The training video on Coffee Agronomy is designed for roasters, retailers and importers to give their non–agronomy focused employees some basic knowledge about how coffee is grown, picked and milled. This video takes the viewer on a guided, visual tour to discover the source of coffee at origin.
The detailed story of coffee agronomy is told in the context of the lush imagery from coffee growing regions around the world. Topics include the history of the coffee plant, defining species, variety and cultivars, influencing factors affecting taste and yield, wet versus dry processing techniques, and traceability.
Both videos are available to NCA members in a QuickTime multimedia file format and to have the files sent to you via email, please send an email to email@example.com.

Test ID: FXCH
Coagulation Factor X Chromogenic Activity Assay, Plasma
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring oral anticoagulant therapy, especially in patients whose plasma contains lupus anticoagulants and in patients receiving the drug Argatroban
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The antithrombotic effect of oral vitamin K antagonists (eg, warfarin) is mediated by reduction in the plasma activity of vitamin K-dependent procoagulant factors II (prothrombin) and X. The intensity of oral anticoagulation therapy with vitamin K antagonists must be monitored and adjusted to a narrow therapeutic range; undermedicating increases the risk of thrombosis, while overmedicating increases the risk of bleeding. Such therapy typically is monitored with the prothrombin time/international normalized ratio (INR) system.
Lupus anticoagulants (LAC) are autoantibodies that interfere with phospholipid-dependent clotting tests and most commonly cause prolongation of the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). LAC can be associated with a prothrombotic disorder termed the antiphospholipid syndrome. LAC occasionally may cause prolongation of the baseline prothrombin time, rendering the INR system inaccurate for monitoring the intensity of oral anticoagulant therapy. LAC-induced prolongation of the prothrombin time is most commonly seen with recombinant human tissue factor thromboplastins (ie, prothrombin time reagents) with a low international sensitivity index (ISI) such as Innovin (ISI = 1.0). The chromogenic factor X activity is an alternative assay for monitoring oral anticoagulant therapy. This assay is unaffected by LAC because the assay end point is not a phospholipid-dependent clotting time.
Argatroban is a parenteral direct thrombin inhibitor that is approved for treatment of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), an antibody-mediated prothrombotic disorder. Argatroban therapy prolongs the prothrombin time, which also renders the INR inaccurate for monitoring the warfarin effect while transitioning from Argatroban to oral anticoagulant therapy. The chromogenic coagulation factor X activity assay may be used as an alternative to the INR for monitoring and adjusting the warfarin dose during this transition.
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.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A chromogenic factor X activity of approximately 20% to 35% corresponds to the usual warfarin therapeutic INR range (ie, INR = 2.0-3.0).
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Liver disease and vitamin K deficiency may lower factor X levels. If factor X deficiency is suspected, order F_10/9066 Coagulation Factor X Activity Assay, Plasma.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Lee Harvey Oswald's Apartment Building Is Coming Down, Dallas Declares
Originally published on Mon January 7, 2013 5:25 pm
After more than a year of legal wrangling, the city of Dallas has apparently decided enough is enough.
It is sending contractors to an apartment building once lived in by presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald to tear the dilapidated structure down.
Oswald, who fired the shots that killed President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22, 1963, lived with his wife Marina in Apt. No. 2 at 600 Elsbeth St. in the north Oak Cliff neighborhood from November 1962 until March 1963, according to the Dallas Morning News.
For about the last 18 months, the newspaper says, the city has been trying to get property owner Jane Bryant to tear the place down because it's falling apart and is thought to be a threat to public safety.
Today, senior assistant city attorney Andrew Gilbert wrote to Bryant's attorney to say that several deadlines for the work to have been finished have now passed and in the meantime the property's condition has worsened and the building has become "an attractive nuisance to vandals."
So, city-organized wrecking crews are supposed to be on the scene starting today. Their first order of business will be dealing with asbestos that needs to be contained before the walls can come down.
Last month, the Morning News wrote about how Bryant was trying to capitalize on the building's link to infamy. "Many pieces — such as the bathtub, toilet and medicine cabinet — from the Oswald's Apartment No. 2 have been sold and hauled away," it reported. "Bring your hammer, saw, crowbar, strong friends. Anyone and anything to help you take away what you want of what's left. Oh, and bring cash. Bryant is selling the stuff. 'Of course, I'm not going to charge a lot,' she told us."

In honor of its namesake and the aerospace community that it serves, the William J. "Pete" Knight Veterans Home in Lancaster, Calif., recently acquired a F-100 Super Sabre for permanent display.
The Board of Director of the East Kern Airport District voted in December of last year to donate the surplus supersonic jet fighter to the home after storing it at the Mojave Air & Space Port for several decades.
To celebrate this generous gift and raise funds to offset restoration and display costs, the home is hosting a barbecue fundraiser 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m., May 12. Tickets are $10 person, with children eating free, and can be purchased at the door.
A local volunteer group of aerospace enthusiasts, with financial assistance from the United States Air Power Museum in Fresno, Calif., have already begun restoration activities on the plane. As part of the preparations, the fighter is being given a camouflage paint scheme to resemble those flown by the late Senator William J. "Pete" Knight, a U.S. Air Force project test pilot for the F-100 program.
"This is going to be a great addition to our home, I know the residents are excited to have such a great display," said Norman Andrews, the homes administrator. "It's going to take a lot of money, but I think the community will support us."
In addition to the contributions raised by the barbecue and future fundraising events, the home will also be selling commemorative brick pavers to be displayed around the plane. For more information, contact Linda Godin at (661) 810-2047.
