Interpretive Handbook
8174 :
Complement C3, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The complement system is an integral part of the immune defenses. The primary complement pathway consists of recognition (Clq, Clr, Cls), activation (C4, C2, C3), and attack (C5, C6, C7, C8, C9) mechanisms with respect to their role in antibody-mediated cytolysis.
The complement system can be activated via immune complexes, and the alternative pathway (properdin pathway), which is activated primarily by foreign bodies such as microorganisms.
C3 activation involves cleavage by C3 convertase into C3a and C3b. When immune complexes are not involved, the alternate method of complement activation initiates the reactant sequence at C3, bypassing C1, C4, and C2.
Severe recurrent bacterial infections occur in patients with homozygous C3 deficiency and in those patients with low levels of C3 secondary to the absence of C3b activator.
Decreased C3 may be associated with acute glomerulonephritis, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, immune complex disease, active systemic lupus erythematosus, septic shock, and end-stage liver disease.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Assessing disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
Investigating an undetectable total complement (CH50) level
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A decrease in C3 levels to the abnormal range is consistent with disease activation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The results are dependent on appropriate specimen transport and storage.
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.
75-175 mg/dL

In what world is the QB not to blame for a horrible offense? Yea, others get blame too, but don't be such blatant homers.
Have you been watching Luck.. Dude is about to have his team, the worst team last season, in the playoffs...he is playing great for a rookie qb and looks like a vet. Tannehill is playing like a rookie.
---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------
Everyone really needs to step back a little and take a good look around the league. There are a lot of rookie and young QB's out there who have similar records (RG3) who are not winners yet.
Just wait til LUck plays Houston twice. Things change in a hurry in this league.
Fact is we have a rookie QB who no one in this universe expected him to take over this offense and start the season. That is a hell of an accomplishment. We have an offense that is like its on autopilot where Sherman isnt really putting anything in that surprises teams anymore. They have our tape on us. Its time for Sherman to start putting in some fancy stuff and get the kid going(Matthews). We have a dancing RB in Bush who is not listening to the coaches and to hit the hole and at the same time defenses are stacking the box to challenge our rookie.
All this spells rookie QB has troubles. Any rookie QB would have troubles. You have to be patient with Philbin and let him get his guys in here and the next two years will be much better IMO than years past.
Tannehill has had problems finishing games in college and now in the pros but you also have to remember his 4 year situation at A&M. He is a ahead of the curve.
My boss who is a Bills fan told me the next day after the game that he wished they had lost because now fitzpatrick will stay another year with this coach and no one wants that. Alot of people know that Tannehill was bringing us back and that PI on Hartline was typical ref BS. True we sucked for 3 quarters, but I was much happier to see Matthews. I think this offense will become a little more consistent with this kid in. He is hungry and a bit of a natural. You have to remember where the world thought we would be. It is healthy for Tannehill to go through this.
reminds me of tony romo.

Take both bungs out and cut away. It may flash a little but won't explode. If you're really unsure about it, then purge the drum with argon or nitrogen before AND during the cutting process. Displace all the oxygen and you eliminate the possibility of an "earth shattering kaboom". Or, fill the son of a **** right to the brim with water and hack away with an O/A torch and it won't go poof.

Spool Gun conversion. How To Do It. Below.
An 18 year old boy was killed when he tried the very same thing this week.
It was a 50 gallon drum which had peppermint oil in it previously. He was using a cut off blade .
It was a Catholic High School and the boy was in a shop high school class under the supervision of a shop teacher apparently unaware of the danger.
Happened this week I believe.
See www.weldingweb.com http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa...n.html?ref=rss
Buy a tool made for opening 50 gallon drums. It is like a giant can opener.No sparks,no heat.
Death by 55 gallon drum
A laborer working for a Concrete Resurfacing Company was killed when an EMPTY 55-gallon drum of Concrete Sealer exploded and engulfed him in flames. It is believed that the laborer was attempting to cut the empty drum open with a cutoff saw just prior to the explosion.
The laborer was burned beyond recognition. The Concrete Sealer was 80% by weight ethanol and methanol. It is used as a treatment for concrete surfaces to make them water-repellant. On the day of the explosion, the Concrete Resurfacing Company was repairing a parking garage.
In another incident 10 years earlier on almost the exact same Concrete Sealer product, another laborer for a Highway Repair Company was cutting the lids off of used 55-gallon drums so the drums could be used for refuse. He was using either a torch or an electric welder to cut the lids off. The procedure was believed to be inherently safe, as they would turn the drums over for several days to let any flammable liquid drain out, and then they would turn them upright and fill them with water and let them stand for five additional days before any cutting.
In this second incident, the Concrete Sealer drum was not being cut open. However, it was standing next to another drum that was being cut open when a spark flew from one drum into the other. The drum exploded and the laborer died within 24 hours. He suffered third degree burns over 80% of his body.
In both cases, the fuels for the explosion were ethanol and methanol vapors inside what were believe to be empty or near-empty drums. It turns out that the vapor pressure of a small amount of liquid is just enough to fill the entire 55-gallon drum with an explosive mixture of air and flammable vapors. Therefore, near-empty drums can be significantly more dangerous than drums that are full.
The average worker perceives the risk of a near-empty drum to be less than a full drum. Because the actual risk is counter-intuitive, it is essential that drums of flammable liquids prominently warn of the high explosion risk of a partially empty drum. Additional warnings against cutting or welding are needed, as well as instructions to avoid all ignition sources and keep the drum completely closed at all times. While employee training about the risks of near-empty drums can be beneficial, used drums all to often find themselves in the hands of untrained employees or untrained non-employees. This reinforces the need for adequate and eye-catching labeling that goes beyond the usual warnings for a flammable liquid. The average, untrained layperson intuitively believes that less liquid means less risk, when the opposite is true.
This case involved:
The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard,
Flammable liquids,
The vapor pressure of flammable liquids,
Human Factors,
The adequacy of MSDSs, and
The adequacy of labels.

NOTE: This web
site is only meant to support the video.
Watching the video is the best way to
get a feel for this novel user-interface.
The TaskGallery is a running 3D research prototype user interface that expands the
desktop into an entire office with an unlimited number of desktops.
The screen becomes a long gallery with paintings on the walls that
represent different tasks, and the user moves quickly and easily from one to
another with a simple series of mouse and keyboard commands. We tried to make
the illusion appeal to the lessons in navigating physical space that we learned
as children, so that people would "get" the system intuitively without
having to learn or adjust to it. The less people have to think about how to work
their computer, the more mental energy they have left for their real work.
Home users and office productivity workers.
Any normal, unmodified windows applications runs inside of
a 3D environment.
can customize the layout of tasks.
Files, documents, and applications are typically
represented as snapshots (rather than icons) to aid in retrieval.
The individualized layouts of tasks and documents within
tasks take advantage of users' spatial memory.
High-level control for common navigation prevents users
from getting lost in the 3D environment.
standard windows manipulation controls are augmented with additional
controls that provide high-level control for common window configurations:
loosely stacked files, put files in an ordered stack, maximize one document,
and compare several documents.
Our cognitive psychologists ran user studies to see whether
the TaskGallery successfully engaged the knowledge and abilities people use to
navigate physical space. Study participants told them that it seemed more
natural to place tasks on the walls of the Gallery rather than on the
floor or ceiling. Users were also very adept at remembering the depth ordering
of tasks. This suggests that people feel compelled to treat the Gallery
like a real-world environment, rather than just as an interesting desktop theme.
In general, users preferred the TaskGallery to the existing Windows interface. Further studies are ongoing and will attempt to tease out the various advantages
and qualities of using a 3D environment for normal productivity tasks.
The choice of a navigable spatial metaphor was partly
motivated by a desire to leverage human spatial memory. An art gallery was
chosen because of its familiarity. To increase ease of retrieval, the TaskGallery
includes the images of documents and tasks in the space in addition to
their spatial location and title cues. Classical mnemonic research has
documented that mental cues in the form of visual images are an excellent way to
enhance memory for items. Our previous studies have shown the strong influence
of snapshot/thumbnail cues to aid spatial memory during the storage and
retrieval of web pages.
The key areas our design focuses on are:
Easily understood 3D metaphors for virtual environments
Navigation cues
Resolving the tension between spatial consistency and
dynamic rearrangement of data
Grouping of items at multiple
granularities through a hierarchical, though fluid structure
Cues to alleviate standard problems in 3D environments,
such as "floating windows" and depth confusion
We have developed a novel approach (redirection) to bring existing, unmodified
Windows applications into a 3D virtual environment. The result is a platform for
experimentation in 3D user interfaces, in which the user retains all familiar
productivity tools. This also allows for a smooth transition between traditional
2D interfaces and our new 3D territory. This prototype will help us to refine
our ideas as we design novel interfaces for information visualization,
window-management, and general productivity tools.

Tuesday, February 17, 2004ATHENS, Ga. (Feb. 17, 2004) - East Tennessee State took an early two-run lead Tuesday afternoon at Georgia, but the Bulldogs then rallied for eight runs in the first three innings and cruised to an 11-3 victory over the Bucs from Foley Field in Athens, Ga. East Tennessee State (0-4) opened the scoring in the top of the first with a two-out, two-run rally. Senior shortstop Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.) was hit by a pitch then advanced to second on a single to left field by sophomore first baseman Blake Church (Roswell, Ga.). Both runners would score on a subsequent double off of the right-center field wall by sophomore second baseman Josiah Glafenhein (Knoxville, Tenn.). The Bulldogs (4-0) fought right back with a two-out rally of their own, taking the lead with three runs in the bottom of the first. Center fielder Kyle Keen reached on a fielder's choice followed by a bloop double down the left field line by third baseman Josh Smith to give Georgia runners on second and third. After the second out was recorded on a strikeout, designated hitter Matt Robbins doubled in two runs, followed by an RBI double by second baseman Marshall Szabo. Georgia added a run to their lead with a single run in the bottom of the second. With one out in the frame, shortstop Justin Holmes lined a triple into the gap in right field. He would then score on a groundout to third by the next batter, left fielder Bobby Felmy. The Bulldogs sent eight men to the plate in the bottom of the third, scoring four runs to widen their lead to 8-2. Smith, first baseman Josh Morris, Robbins, Szabo and catcher Clint Sammons began the inning with consecutive singles, driving in two runs between them. Robbins then scored on a balk and Szabo came in to score on a sacrifice fly to deep right by Holmes. ETSU trimmed a run off of the Georgia lead in the top of the fifth as junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) turned on an inside fastball and belted it over the left center field wall for his first home run of the season. Georgia would put the game out of reach in the bottom of the seventh, scoring three times to extend its lead to 11-3. Pinch-hitter Jonathan Wyatt led off the inning by reaching on an error then advanced to third on a double by Smith. Morris then followed with his third home run of the early season, a three-run shot over the left-center field wall. Bulldog freshman Joey Carroll, in his first collegiate start, earned the win after pitching five innings and allowing three earned runs on four hits. ETSU senior lefty Josh Kite (Greeneville, Tenn.) was charged with the loss after allowing eight earned runs on nine hits in two innings pitched. Kite walked one batter while striking out two. Sophomore right fielder Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.), Glafenhein, Church and Moore led ETSU with one hit each. Glafenhein paced the Bucs with two RBIs on the afternoon. Smith led the Bulldogs at the plate, going 3-for-3 with three runs scored. Morris and Robbins each had two hits, three RBIs and two runs scored. East Tennessee State and Georgia will meet again Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m. from Foley Field in Athens, Ga. for the final matchup of the two-game series.

Thanks for all the updates, info and the translation, much appreciated!
Thanks for all the updates, info and the translation, much appreciated!
Very short interview with Mishin about Plu and his career:
In short he said that the secret of Zhenya's long career is his talent and his training. If he were not born talented or if he were not trained the right way, he wouldn't be able to make his comebacks. He also has a great power and will, as well as the team who suuports him a lot. Besides coaches and choreographers he mentioned Plu's wife Yana as the most effective woman in his life, and his mother. He pointed out the Zhenya doesn't have what Mishin calls "coordinative oldness." He is young in his heart and soul where figure skating doesn't live as some heavy burden that Plu has to carry. He says that now fs fans are divided in two groups: some say "why he needs all this, he has everything." Mizhin said he doesn't like those people and their talks. The others say "Zhenya, go! Reach your goals, accomplish your achievements, win whatever you wish and bring us joy with your skating. Mishin compared Plushenko with people who opened the doors to unknown, like Armin Hary who was the first one to run 100m for 10s, Vlasov who was the first who lifted 500kg and Bob Beamon who was the first who jumped 8m90sm. What Plushenko is doing now is making things considered impossible for a human- possible, said Mishin. That is his main contribution in the Olympics movement in general, ANM added.
Clearly, 30 is not too old. Old Man Menshov at 30 was the only guy at WTT to land 4t3t and 3A cleanly. Plu should keep going as long as it makes him happy to compete
Zhenya was in Sakhalin attended a show there was also Leonova, Martiusheva/Rogonov, Stepanova/Bukin, Verner, Kulik and others
In the interview to Hello.ru (link:http://evgeni-plushenko.com/forum/vi...p=78661#p78661 ) Plu said he will go to Novosibirsk at the end of April to work on his new progs with Zelenskiy http://www.mariinsky.ru/en/company/b...mery/zelensky/ and a foreign choreographer whose name he didn't mention. At that time it's gonna be a big ballet festival there and one of foreign guys attending will be Patrick de Bana: http://opera-novosibirsk.ru/announce...&rnw-a:id=1433 Earlier on his twitter he mentioned that he was discusing the music for his new progs with Yanni, the same guy who created Storm: https://twitter.com/EvgeniPlushenko/...23576393891840
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zHKrfBnBx4 Plushy's message to Chinese fans, Artistry on ice 2013 He is on Holiday in Mexico
^ Plu is coming back to Russia tomorrow. He was on vacation in Mexico with Yana: http://instagram.com/p/YQNFw_FSES/# and earlier in Thailand with Yana and elder boys: http://posta-magazine.ru/voyage/piece-of-summer?slr=2 The youngest is too small for such trips, so he stayed in Russia with his granny (Plu's mom) and a nanny. Plu wasn't allowed to do any physical activities after the operation, so they used that time to get recharged and to rest. In Mexico he resumed some minor training like jogging and swimming.
Yanni music is not what I was hoping for Olympics in Russia
let's talk, that was just amazing!!! It ended far too soon!.
Plushy is already in Koslovodsk, in training camp.

Then there are the slaw-haters. Mainly, it's because they don't like cabbage, at all.
But it was his character, Orry Main, that had my girlie hormones up in a bunch.
Why, I do declare!
(Awww, look. The milk burped a bubble. How cute!)
Pour mixture over coleslaw mix.
Cook's Note: This is a recipe for a small crowd. If you don't need as much, just cut the recipe in half. Also, this cole slaw goes great on top of pork BBQ sandwiches. If you don't have apple cider vinegar on hand, regular white vinegar works fine too. Got some heads of cabbage to use? No problem. Just dice up a head or two of cabbage (about 8 cups) and shred about 2-3 carrots to substitute.

I am looking to replicate the results of a query, is that possible or do I need to rep the tables themselves?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Database Administrators Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for database professionals who wish to improve their database skills and learn from others in the community. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Yes its definately possible. We use it all the time for replicating warehouse data to 53 different warehouses. The query you are talking about is called a replication filter.
Now listen up!!! Do not put your query in the filter. Use a view instead.
That means you can easily alter the view at a later date as filters cannot be changed. So you filter will be "select cols from vwUserFilter"
If you put the query in the filter and want to change it, you'd have to drop the publication and re-create it which is very painful.
Also see this link
To replicate the results of a query, store the results in a table, and replicate that table. Yes the table must exist on the other servers. I suggest using snapshot replication for this type of scenario.

Published: 07 January 2013
Belfast International Airport has awarded the contract for the resurfacing of its main runway to local construction firm, Whitemountain Quarries.
The project will be carried out between March and May of this year but, as the work will take place overnight, there will be no impact on normal airport activities.
Other work will also be carried out during the contract period including modifications and upgrades to airfield ground lighting, drainage and airfield boundary and stand markings.
Over the period of the work the existing surface along the one and three quarter mile runway will be removed with mechanical planing equipment and resurfaced with specially designed asphalt. The asphalt will be grooved to provide improved surface drainage in addition to enhanced skid resistance.
Belfast International Airport Managing Director, John Doran, said: "In this our 50th anniversary year, this investment is a clear statement of our commitment to the local economy and the people who use our airport.
"This is one of a significant number of announcements that we intend to make during 2013 – all of them positive, forward-looking and with confidence as their common theme. We have a lot to celebrate, and we intend putting down a big marker that we are a pivotal partner in this wider community.
"I'm delighted to be in the position to say that a local company with all the required technical experience has won this important contract. The runway covers an area of 18 Wembley football pitches and the contractor will use 26,000 tonnes of asphalt, all of which indicates the scale of what's involved.
Regional Development Minister Danny Kennedy, visiting Belfast International said, "I welcome the announcement of this significant investment in one of our key gateways.
"This news is an excellent start to help celebrate the airports 50th anniversary and I congratulate everyone involved as it quite literally builds for the future."
Mark Kelly, Managing Director, Whitemountain Quarries, said: "We are delighted to have secured this contract. It is great to work on our local International Airport, and we are looking forward to meeting the challenge. We will be employing the latest construction techniques and, of course, working under floodlights will safeguard the smooth day-to-day operation of airport – an essential part of the project. This contract will safeguard up to seventy jobs in these challenging economic conditions".

Is the current state of politics in the U.S. due to the race of our president?
Many conservatives who held certain positions before Obama was elected had taken the opposite view when he took those same positions. For example, the Affordable Care Act was modelled after Romney's health care law when he was governor. Currently they have tried to repeal it 37 times. In recent times this much acrimony has not been seen, and never before have we had a president with African ancestry. Is there a connection? I am especially interested in answers based on documented facts.
Jun 21 2013: The current state of politics in America is due
to the long term, ongoing, moral decline (if they ever had any), of those in power, those
who are rich and elite, those who sit at the top of corporations,
educational institutions, medical institutions, religious institutions,
and virtually anyone who has large, great or immense power over others,
through money, position, race or politics.
If the people of America were to demand, beseech, implore, command, beg, ask or tell,
those who have this power, to stop what they are doing, it would reveal something everyone
needs to be honest about.
The fact they would refuse to, would ignore the concerns, the real fears people have and, or otherwise dismiss
them, as Osamabama recently did by calling the NSA spying on citizens a "ruckus",
would reveal they are sociopaths, psychopaths and that is what the people have allowed, or put into the offices of
The fact they show no concern at all fits the exact description of sociopathic and psychopathic humans.
Jun 21 2013: I lost all respect for what I thought was going to be a thoughtful comment when you said Osamabama. It reveals a lack of moral intelligence and an ignorance of common decency.Jun 21 2013: We have the freedom to be immoral, deceitful, lack values and ethics.
I respect countries who do not separate religion and law because religion adds that moral structure that we all humans need. I respect countries who don't allow immigrants to gain citizenship or they require one to assimilate to gain citizenship so they don't pollute the structure of the country. if you don't believe in a God, keep it to yourself.
Im not very religious, but I believe in what all of the books of religion call us to do and be as humans. What God you serve is irrelevant, how you serve your God is irrelevant. What is and always should be relevant is what all of these Gods call us to do, how these Gods tell us to act, behave, treat each other, and this planet. It's all the same, and it should not be separated from our government, it should not be separated from us.
You see what happens when its separated? Look at our country now. It's hell on earth, literally. People are acting crazy in this country. All due to the media and mainstream convincing people that its okay to not listen to the structures of religion, violence is entertaining, sex is devilishly fun.Jun 22 2013: It is my fim belief that Obama's "fall from grace" stems more from our collective hopes being dashed when we see that his administration truly never changed any basic fundamentals, as we had hoped. I think people are slowely recognizing that we are increasingly being ruled by a small, selfish plutocracy rather than our intended democracy. The racial issue only becomes conveniently adopted by these plutocrats as a diversion from far deeper problems.
Jun 22 2013: I disagree with your statements about Obama's accomplishments. He got health care reform passed and no other president did. He saved the auto industry and the economy that the previous administration and congress bashed. He got the Lilly Ledbetter fair pay act. He ended the war in Iraq. In short, he cleaned up a lot of issues he inherited.
I do agree that Obama has not met the expectations he set, the rhetoric did not match the intentional inertia set up by the Republicans, and the inherent inertia that is Washington D.C. He was naive in that respect.
Jun 24 2013: Out of curiosity, has any president met with every expectation he set? Isn't every president at the 'mercy' of the segregation and fundamentally different views and beliefs of the Republican and Democratic parties?
Jun 24 2013: I think any presidency is viewed differently and more objectively after some time has passed, i.e. Lincoln, Roosevelt. Only then can we view a president as a man rather than as leader of a party. Conversely, I think many recent former presidents do some of their most valued work after they leave office and they no longer have the endless interruptions of the position. I.E. presidents Carter and Clinton. History will tell.Jun 24 2013: That's a good point, M-L, we often realize the true value of someone's pursuit after they leave office. Is it a case of, 'You don't know what you've got, till it's gone'? Or, perhaps we can only appreciate what that person has done in the past, based on what is going on in the present?
Jun 24 2013: I agree Lizanne. In the days immediately following 9/11 President Bush had, I would say, close to 100% of the American people with him. History showed, however, that there were no WMD's and from that point on Bush lost credibility with many Americans. From there politics took over, an African American got elected, and here we are.
Fritzie -
Jun 21 2013: I very much doubt this. Many of the same people who hate the current administration also hate one or both Clintons.
- +1
Jun 21 2013: Well Fritzie, it seems as though it's going to go that way.
Uniqea Monie
Jun 20 2013: Alot of people point at race, I honestly never realized how many people were still so serious about racism. it's scary. Race does not measure intelligence, it does not measure someones lack of experience, competence, morality, values, and such. Our president is a man of words, he is very very good with words. And that's about it.
- +1
The current state of politics is OUR fault, yes I said it its the PEOPLE"S FAULT.
For not caring about politics, it is our job to regulate those in power. The constitution was not made for our rights, but to keep the government in line. We have become so obedient and sheep like, and we have allowed sociopaths to infiltrate our government, police, and military. We do whatever they say, we except every law and abide by them all no matter how insane they are. We have to roll our sleeves up and create this country to OUR benefit, not the benefit of the rich and political.
Its time for the people to change so our government can change

Jun 20 2013: Who knew about all those racists in tea parties. The Hispanic guy who runs the tea party in my town never said.
I watched a couple of African Americans on TV who ran tea parties in their towns never admitted to being white supremacists. Who knew
Comment deleted
Jun 20 2013: Of course. But, would you define a Black who critiques other blacks as racist?, Would you call these blacks "white supremacists"? ....
Coming to think of it, I guess you could... you can call anyone racist for almost any reason.
It doesn't even have to be appropriate or accurate. It shuts off conversation or debate and gives the caller a sense of superiority for being better then a racist.Jun 21 2013: Oh, I forgot, there were a number albeit small of Black plantation owners that had slaves. So, can we say slavery was not a matter of racism but economics?
Comment deleted
Jun 20 2013: LaMar,
One more time, it's not about racism of tea party members. I am not a member, but I remember seeing that when ask the question on national news, while interviewing a large group of tea party leadership, all stated that racism violates their organizational objectives. Their concern was the expansion of the Federal Government under the current administration.
So, you have a stack of signed memorandum that attest to a large majority of acknowledged racists are members of tea party organizations...good for you.

Read my posting of 5 hours ago and let's discussed the President and his policies from there
Comment deleted
Jun 21 2013: I did. It's at the bottom of this conversation.
Comment deleted
Jun 21 2013: No, your expressing a lack of historical knowledge on the history of slavery as it applies to the Americas. In fact, racism as it is now constuctt really developed after the civil war. Vanquished southerners blamed the slaves for the war and their defeat.
Southerners had bought these prisoners from victorious tribes in Africa. The victorious tribes of African tribal wars would sell the vanquished captives into slavery instead of killing them, it was more profitable. Either way the victors did not want the losers hanging around.
But, I am beginning to think that this is a discussion about racism and nothing at all about political issues.Jun 26 2013: Kate, anyone who wants to self-evaluate, and I as an American surely due, must consider all opinions. I value your opinion immensely and thank you for it!Jun 25 2013: Kate are you a U.S. citizen?Jun 25 2013: Kate are you a U.S. citizen?
Comment deleted
Jun 26 2013: Kate, of course you do not have to be a US citizen to reply here, that is why I asked if you were a US citizen! To get a real feel for the racism that exists here, to get a sense of the culture that is US racism, you must live among those who are the perpetrators of and those who are the victims of racism. I am sure the same is true of any cultural phenomenon in your country, that is, to get a sense of that phenomenon I would have to be among those who experience it.Jun 23 2013: A lot has been made of the President's Affordable Health Care Act. It's was sort of based on what Gov. Romney put in place in his state. Like many great ideas... it tanked. The rational? it provides health insurance. Great!. But, health insurance has to be bought, there is profit in selling. When purchase is mandatory, there is greater profit. But once you have health insurance, you have to find a place to use it.
This country is short tens of thousands of primary care physicians. Practicing doctors looking at all the regulations and associated costs of implementation are leaving the profession. I know this personally as my internist and cardiologist sent me letters explaining why they will no longer be seeing me.
Had the President expanded the Public Health Service by setting up low or no cost clinics nation wide: offering young medical students scholarships in exchange for service at the clinics. The "freebies" coming with the current law could have been easily given without have to purchase insurance.
All this law has done is given a greater customer base to insurance companies and they will profit.
The President has given billions of tax dollars away to other industries and too many went down taking the money with them. He gave a $50 billion sweetheart deal to the Auto Workers Union to regenerate a new General Motors. Bondholders got pennies on the dollar from the old GM and non union suppliers got the crankshaft from the new company. Tens of thousands lost heir jobs, including some family members of mine.
I might point out the our President is only half African, he is also half Kansas Caucasian, so whatever acrimony I may feel about his incompetence as a President directed against his black side it is equally shared with his white side. That's the American way.Jun 22 2013: M-L, suppose the banks were not bailed out. What would have been the consequence?Jun 22 2013: Obama's financial advisors were unfortunately all holdovers from the Bush administration who were all in favor of "business" and "business as usual". Thus the TARP money, the disastrous bank bail-outs, the Pharmaceuticals winning over single option, the increasing printing of dollars (thus devaluation of same), higher deficits....all were completely contrary to what Pres.-elect Obama stood for. There is no such thing as "too big to fail"...this "coined"phrase serves merely to de-incentivize the competition so basic to democracy. That is why the electors are so disappointed.
Jun 22 2013: I would say that 'race' and 'hate' crimes are difficult to document. Crimes are more 'results' evaluated than 'motive or intentions'. I would offer that I don't think there has ever been a level of hatred this intense since A. Lincoln - which was racially motivated. I am limited in my opinion to what I've learned about our history and what I've experienced, but I have lived through 12 different presidents - including multiple terms. Yes, there are bitter rivalries and vehement political dissidents, but I have never felt this level of pure hatred, and it is crippling my nation. Yes, that's 'my' nation, and your nation. I won't go into what this man was handed, or what he has or has not accomplished in his time. I will only offer that I believe we have revealed through our anger our underlying legacy of distrust and revilement of different human races. We do not, cannot yet, see each other as brothers and sisters, and until we do, this will not end.

Jun 22 2013: RH,
You and I are about the same age. I am not sure of your experiences living in the US these past years.
However, I have to admit, I spent my working life outside the US, so I missed the nuances you have
Here is my take. A bunch of us meet for coffee at McDonalds...senior coffee.. Here is what I hear.
There is one ..... who is an avowed racists. He doesn't come around much since a couple of retired military guys joined up. But, here's the point. There is almost no criticism of the person of the President. There is a lot of criticism of his administration and perceived policies.
You may find hatred where you are at, I am not seeing it in my neck of the woods. Maybe it is not as pervasive as you believe. At least, I hope so.
Jun 22 2013: Yes it's true. The Republicans vs. Democrats, the debt, the 'freeloaders' vs. the working. These are the public discussions. But - again in my opinion - we've heard these debates before. There is a new level of bitterness, resolve, and defiance accompanying the discussion. A sort of 'righteous indignation' heard under the cover of the issues. Where does this increased and somewhat 'sudden' bravado come from? What is the 'elephant under the rug"? As I said, race and hate crimes are difficult to document, and as you point out, somewhat subjective. But outside of 'polite' conversation I hear much clearer displays of our legacy of distrust and hate. In just the generation before us, White scientists were still arguing that Blacks were not human. It is within our generation that centuries of such disgrace were abolished by law. I mean, we had to create a 'law' to abolish such thinking because it was so prevalent! It's like the culture of our ancestors, we are now 'modern' but still have a taste for certain foods, a certain type of 'romance', a certain type of view. We can't help that it's there, but we mediate it to advance socially. Some are better at it than others. So, as disagreeable and unconscionable as this dynamic is, TED 'questions' such as this allow us to discuss the normally 'undiscussable', and I believe there is an element of truth to what Jeffrey is inferring. But believe me, I would hope you were right.

Jun 22 2013: You have gotten me to think back, thank you. I think there has always been a small number of people who had a " superiority complex"??? and wanted to manipulate the future of mankind. When I was little, I remember adults talking about Eugenics, where poor and minorities would be sterilized because they couldn't properly raise children... being poor and minority and all.
- +1
To me... that was racist.
Are there a few nuts out there who have yelled to commit great bodily harm to our president... absolutely. But he is still our President. I may think his policies are poorly thought out and his administration is run by a bunch of squirrelly kooks, but he is still our president. We've had over 40 Presidents; alcoholics, womanizers,
manic depressives, this one has been described as an aloof academic without contact with our reality... Oh, "he is of mixed race" ... he is not the first there either.
He is also taller and so was Lincoln. What else are we going to say about the man...
Most of the conversation I hear is about his administration's policies. Some of his chosen administrators are dumber then those cartoon characters on TV.
Now to be honest, a few things have gone right. But, a stopped clock is right twice a day. If you want a list of my awards for dumb things this administration has done... That's a whole other conversation for me.Jun 21 2013: The "state of politics in the U.S." is a very broad area with tens of thousands of actors - politicians and their sugar daddies. Overall it has very little to do with Mr. Obama, and even less with his ethnic background. It has much more to do with the "win at all costs" attitude of the political parties, accompanied by the unconscionable millions of $$ of special interest money to which our politicians have become addicted. This situation won't change when Mr. Obama leaves office, unless certain changes are made in the U.S. Constitution.
I'm not a conservative, but the example you give of conservatives taking "the opposite view" is misleading. The main issue in the federal vs the Massachusetts health care laws was the extent of federal authority. One could reasonably oppose the federal government assuming the power to require individuals to buy insurance, while supporting the idea that a state of the union has that power. That was, in fact, the chief legal point that Chief Justice Roberts eventually decided in favor of the feds and that allowed the law to stand.
Drawing a causal connection between two observations ("acrimony" and "African ancestry") that may, in the observer's mind, seem to occur together but that may just as well be completely unrelated is a logical flaw, unfortunately too common. Much misery and tragic decision-making has resulted from this kind of illogic.
Jun 22 2013: Paul,
Just a quick note on Justice Roberts..
He spoke for the majority on the findings in the suit of the tax to be levied on people who failed to buy health insurance under the new law. The suit was based on that the Federal Government could not impose a penalty for not purchasing a commercial product, to wit: health insurance. SCOTUS ruled that the penalty was in fact a tax. An in accordance with the 16th Amendment, the congress can impose any tax for any amount. In simple terms, the 16th was an open license to steal. the congress can tax at their pleasure and there was no constitutional limits on this power.
Jun 22 2013: Yes, Chief Justice Roberts did write the majority opinion, though oddly he didn't really have a majority with him on his chief legal point. The four "conservative" justices (incl. Kennedy but not Roberts) held that what the Obama administration called a "fee," to be levied on those who failed to purchase health insurance, was in fact a tax on a non-action, which in their judgement Congress had no power to impose. The four "liberal" justices agreed with the administration that this was a fee, not a tax, and that Congress could impose this. Enter Roberts, who agreed with the conservatives that it was a tax, but then (many pages later in his opinion) surprisingly concluded that Congress did have the power to apply such a tax. So he was the only justice who held that Congress could tax a non-purchase.
I personally found his argument tortuous and reaching. It appears that following this ruling Congress could - in order to promote a desirable social outcome such as better health - levy a tax on everyone who does not buy a bicycle. Roberts' principle has opened a new way for Congress to direct the behavior of U.S. citizens. I've discussed this in an essay at Blue Ridge Journal:
Jun 22 2013: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Whether it is a tax or a fee is, indeed, a legal argument. However the preamble to the constitution says it is the federal government's job to promote the general welfare. Is not universal health care promoting the general welfare?Jun 22 2013: Sorry, Paul
I didn't know that you had gone into this depth on the ruling. My fearful take was that Robert's was trying to point out was the the 16th was a gun in the mugger's hand and the people are to be mugged. My perception is that he really wanted to go there and the other justices were not. So, he weaved that web to put it out there.
My read is that if government produces a product that is sold or a service that is presented for a fee... Federal Dams that sell electricity, or collects a fee for using services while visiting a national park... I'm ok,
but when money is collected from the public because of some action the public under takes or not... it's a tax. When the government takes money not in the direct exchange for goods or services... it's a tax. I have no other name for it and neither did Justice Roberts.Jun 22 2013: Jeffrey J:
"... the preamble to the constitution says it is the federal government's job to promote the general welfare. Is not universal health care promoting the general welfare?"
I suppose it is, but the preamble is merely a hopeful set of general aims, it has no legal force. The body of the Constitution sets limits on what the federal government may do, and those limits are interpreted by the Supreme Court. If you look again at the preamble, I'm pretty sure you would not argue that the federal government may do whatever it sees fit in order to "insure domestic tranquility", or to "provide for the common defence." That would permit all kinds of abuse of power.Jun 21 2013: I am not promoting anything. It was as it was. Slavers were in business. It was as it was.
Are people bothered by the the history of slavery, I understand, but I can't change history.
I can't read other people,s minds... Did slave owners feel superior to slaves????
I can only see what happened. Some owners took "slaves" as their wives and raised families.
Some found highly intelligent slaves and made the business managers and accountants,
Some beat their slaves like draft animals and treated them worse.Jun 21 2013: So let me see if I have your views correct. There is no more racism against Mr. Obama as there was against Mr. Bush, proportionately. (That view assumes, by the way, that the people who made death threats against Mr. Bush were racist African Americans, an assumption that is hard to fathom. The attempted assassinations against Mr. Reagan and Mr. Ford, for example, were white.) And Republicans never really were for universal health care. Am I right?Jun 21 2013: It seems that the answer to this question is going to be a resounding yes, regardless of any discussion.
Jun 21 2013: Thanks for your honest reply, Mike. That ends our discussion as anything further would be a waste of time and energy.Jun 21 2013: Your implicit assumption, Mike, is that being a racist means you will threaten to kill the president. This is highly dubious.Jun 21 2013: True, but the Clintons embraced black people. I personally think these people dislike anything not conservative and then throw in the president's race and bam, there you have all this hatred.Jun 20 2013: Mike,
Do you think racism plays a role in the increased death threats against President Obama compared to the number of death threats against President Bush?
Source: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/5967942/Barack-Obama-faces-30-death-threats-a-day-stretching-US-Secret-Service.html
Jun 21 2013: I am not sure about your source Jeff, I would feel better if Diane Sawyer had this story on the 6:30 news.....
Jun 21 2013: Suppose I left the source out. Now answer the question.
Jun 21 2013: OK, let's look at the numbers. There are about 4 times as many whites as there are blacks in the USA.. If there are and I would assume to be true an equal percentage of racists in each group.
Then I would expect President Obama to have 4 times the death threats as President Bush.
Simple math.Jun 20 2013: Are we to assume that this conversation will be based on the premise that anyone who disagrees with the politics of the current President of the USA is a racist?
Jun 20 2013: Mike,
Of course not. How do you explain Republicans who were for an issue, like mandatory universal health care, before Obama was president, then were against it when he proposed essentially the same thing?
Jun 21 2013: If you listen carefully, you would have heard that Republicans really were unsure of universal health care because they didn't know how to make it work. Now that they have seen the Affordable Healthcare Act, they are absolutely sure that it is not the way.
Jun 21 2013: Really, which Republicans really were unsure of universal health care? When? Surely you do not mean Mr. Romney when he was a governor, do you?Jun 20 2013: If the current state of politics in the US as it is in relation to our President, I would put race way down at the bottom of the list.
I would put his inexperience and lack of political acumen at the top. I believe that he became standard bearer of his party because of the concerns by party leaders in the creation of a Clinton dynasty. After what has happened, there may be reconsideration that the Clinton's would not be that bad.
President O'Bama had an opportunity to create a health program that could help the poor and uninsured. He could have opened free clinics, he could have offered free scholarships to medical students in exchange for service in these clinics, etc, etc.
Instead, he selected a model for medical insurance that raised the cost of insurance to the people of Mass. Not to fear, the whole nation will now have the opportunity to pay more for insurance... If anyone thinks that the insurance companies can not find a way to make more profit from more people under the new law is too naive to be out without parental supervision. Yes, the House is trying to repeal it. A lot of those members know if they don't get the job done, their constituents will find representative to get the job done.
I have to be honest... there are a number of Americans who have heard the promises made about the healthcare act and all the freebies and bought into it. I mean who could pass up free flu shots, What they didn't hear was they would have to buy health insurance from health insurance companies or pay a hefty tax.. This was all so poor people didn't go to emergency rooms. So, what did we get for this act. Doctors running for the hills because their reimbursement are going down. In fact in a few years, most 3rd world countries will have better doctor population ratios then the US.
So, it's not about the race of the President, it's about the asinine policies of his administration.
Jun 20 2013: Why then, Mike, do white Republicans oppose positions they used to support, until Obama became president? Why then, Mike, do white Governors in the south try to restrict voting? Racism is the most reasonable explanation.
Jun 21 2013: Read the post above to address why Republican oppose positions they used to support.
Well, there could be some southern governors have other issues, but most of the voter laws that have been proposed recently ... last 50 years.... is more about voting by non citizens.
Let me give you an example. In the last election,in a few precincts turned in more votes then there were eligible voters. Strangely, most of those votes were for democratic candidates.
Why? Well, non citizens voting,, ballot box stuffing, multiple ballots cast and my favorite, a number of voters gave their address as the same as a local cemetery. Most of those racists governors want a law to have voters show an official picture identification card., like a driver's license or passport.
One voter, one vote. Well, surprisingly, the democratic party has opposed these laws. It's hard for the elderly for example to get to the state license offices to get IDs. It's even harder for the folks at the cemetery. . .
By the way, Please read the comment you tagged. You will better understand.

(In Case You Missed It: Fact Checking Day One, Fact Checking Day Two)
On the final night of their convention in Charlotte, Democrats, including President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, criticized Republican nominee Mitt Romney over his policies on taxes, Medicare, and national security while touting White House proposals to rein in the deficit. Here is a look at some of their statements and how firmly they are grounded in fact.
President Obama on Romney's stance on Afghanistan:
In his nomination acceptance speech, President Obama accused Mitt Romney of having no plan to end the war in Afghanistan. "My opponent said it was 'tragic' to end the war in Iraq, and he won't tell us how he'll end the war in Afghanistan. I have, and I will," Obama told a cheering crowd.
This is a charge that Obama has made before—as recently as Sunday in Colorado—and the Romney campaign has fought back. Spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg told Yahoo News this week that the Republican nominee does embrace the current timeframe to withdraw combat troops by 2014. "As president, Governor Romney's goal will be to complete a successful transition to Afghan security forces by the end of 2014 by evaluating conditions on the ground and soliciting the best advice of our military commanders, not ignoring them," she said. Romney himself has endorsed this deadline in past primary debates, but his website's Afghanistan section does not mention it at all. Instead, it promises to review the U.S. handover to the Afghan military by "holding discussions with our commanders in the field."
Obama on war spending:
President Obama promised to use the money "we're no longer spending on war" to pay down U.S. debt and put more people back to work by rebuilding roads, bridges, and schools. "After two wars that have cost us thousands of lives and over a trillion dollars, it's time to do some nation-building right here at home," Obama said.
However, Obama's suggestion that he would repurpose war spending in lieu of other priorities invokes a somewhat controversial budget quirk. It's true that the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that savings from ending the wars would total around $1 trillion over a decade. But Republicans have balked at the idea that Obama should get credit for "saving" that amount because it would come from funds that would never have been spent in the first place. In February, when Obama's fiscal 2013 budget claimed $4 trillion in savings to reduce the deficit (including some from reduced future war costs), The New York Times reported: "A Republican administration may have unwound those wars more slowly than the Obama administration has, but Republican budget writers say that no one believes combat costs would have stayed steady over the next 10 years. Therefore, counting savings is misleading, Republicans say, since the savings come from money that would never have been spent."
Obama on the deficit:
"You can choose a future where we reduce our deficit without wrecking our middle class. Independent analysis shows that my plan would cut our deficits by $4 trillion," President Obama said.
As The Washington Post's fact checker pointed out after former President Clinton made the same claim on Wednesday night, "The $4 trillion figure, for instance, includes counting some $1 trillion in cuts reached a year ago in budget negotiations with Congress. So no matter who is the president, the savings are already in the bank." Furthermore, Obama has been roundly criticized for counting $700 billion in savings from war money that no one expected to be spent anyway now that the wars are winding down.
Vice President Joe Biden on Romney's tax plans:
Vice President Joe Biden pressed the Democratic line of attack that Mitt Romney would raise taxes on the middle class in order to reduce the wealthy's tax burden.
"Governor Romney believes that it's okay to raise taxes on the middle class by $2,000 in order to pay for over a trillion dollars in tax cuts for the very wealthy," Biden said.
This is misleading. The $2,000 figure comes from a Tax Policy Center paper analyzing Romney's promise to both deliver tax cuts and offset any lost revenue through a streamlining of the tax code. Romney has not specified which tax breaks he would eliminate. Some breaks do benefit the wealthy more than the middle class, but the amount of revenue lost through lowering rates would mean, according to the study, cutting some popular middle-class breaks. Ridding the tax code fo those breaks would result in average tax increase of $2,000 per year for middle-class families, according to the study.
Romney has insisted he would not raise taxes on the middle class, but he has left himself vulnerable to criticisms by not releasing details on how he would overhaul the tax code. Still, Biden's suggestion that Romney would get rid of breaks just to be able to give extra privilege to the wealthy makes the charge even more misleading.
Biden on Medicare:
Vice President Joe Biden criticized the Republican presidential ticket's plan for Medicare, saying it would "immediately cut benefits for more than 30 million seniors already on Medicare" and would "cause Medicare to go bankrupt by 2016."
Those critiques are mostly, though not entirely, true. Though the Medicare-reform plans proposed by Mitt Romney and his running mate Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin do not make immediate changes to the Medicare program, their goal of repealing the president's 2010 health reform law would reduce benefits for seniors already in the program and increase Medicare's accounting woes.
The Affordable Care Act began closing the Medicare prescription-drug "doughnut hole," reducing seniors' out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs. It also required Medicare to offer preventive-health services with no co-payment. If the health reform law is overturned, seniors would be on the hook for those drug fees and co-payments again. Plans by Romney and Ryan to cut Medicaid, the health insurance program for the poor, could also affect current Medicare beneficiaries. About 5.5 million seniors are enrolled in both programs and use Medicaid funding to cover Medicare premiums and deductibles and to pay for long-term care. The Medicaid cuts proposed by Romney and Ryan don't come with policy prescriptions, but it's reasonable to expect that these seniors, who represent a significant proportion of spending in the program, will feel them.
As for bankruptcy, Biden is almost right. The Medicare Trustees estimate that the Medicare Hospital Trust, which funds hospital care for Medicare patients, will be exhausted in 2016 if the Affordable Care Act is repealed. But exhaustion is not the same thing as bankruptcy. The fund will still have money coming in—just less than the bills it will have to pay. Congress can also elect to use general funds to pay Medicare's bills. With the Affordable Care Act on the books, the actuaries estimate that the fund will be exhausted in 2024. The rest of Medicare is already paid out of the general fund, and is in no immediate danger of bankruptcy.
Biden also described Romney and Ryan's plan as "Vouchercare." Champions of the Romney-Ryan approach, known in health-wonk circles as "premium support" say that it's not, strictly speaking, a voucher program; the dispute is mostly one of semantics. The plan would allow private plans and traditional Medicare to compete on prices, and the federal government would give seniors a subsidy to buy a plan in that marketplace. Ryan's plan would limit the amount that government spending on those payments could increase every year, which means that they may fail to keep pace with increases in the cost of providing care. Romney has been more vague about whether there would be a limit on how much the government would pay for Medicare premiums.

TWEED Heads dispelled any doubts of their claim on a finals berth with a hard fought 32-26 win over last year?s grand finalists Ipswich at Piggabeen in the ABC Television match. Two early tries, both to winger Clint Rothery and second row Luke O?Dwyer from well placed kicks by five eight Kris Flint, gave the Seagulls a 10-0 lead after only ten minutes. Big Graham Mackay crashed over from dummy half to reduce the margin to 10-4 but a good try to fullback Nathan Cross saw Tweed lead 16-4 after twenty-five minutes.
Jets drygulched in the wild wild West
There was no quarter shown to the understrength Sydney Airport Jets teams in the Premier League - Jim Beam Cup double-header, played against the Cougars at the Western Weekender Stadium, St.Marys on Saturday. In the NSW Premier League match, the Jets turned in their worst first half of the season, trailing the rampant Cougars 34-4 at half-time. Newtown regained some pride in the second half, containing Penrith-St.Marys to a final score of 50-22. The Cougars relished the prolonged spells of possession and favourable field position, and scored all six of their first half tries on the back of penalties conceded by the Jets. The Jets competed well in the first half of the Jim Beam Cup match, with the half-time deficit of 14-6 being largely of their own making. The second half turned into a rout, as the Cougars raced away with the game to the tune of 56-12. Newtown's best in the Premier League match were Nathan Marles, Monah Elahmad, Joe Lichaa, Luke Hession, Craig Field and Tabua Cakacaka. Several of the Jets played wounded, and are to be commended for toughing it out against physically powerful opponents. The Sydney Airport Jets are at home to North Sydney next Saturday (June 21), in a match that is also the deciding tie for the 2003 Frank Hyde Cup. Frank himself will be at his old home-ground, Henson Park, to present the trophy to the inaugural winners. This NSW Premier League match will kick off at the usual time of 3pm. The Jets host Ryde-Eastwood in the Jim Beam Cup, with this curtain raiser due to start at 1.15pm.

The concept for BaR2D2 was born when a friend showed up to an event with a radio-controlled cooler. We joked about taking the idea to the next level and in the Spring of 2008, construction began.
If you enjoy BaR2D2 as much as we have, be sure to rate this Instructable a 5 and vote for it in The Craftsman Workshop of the Future Contest!
Just a quick note about me - I am a regular DIY'r and don't have any formal robotics, electronics, or mechanical training. I have picked up most of my skills from various hobbies and projects, as well as my father who is a skilled woodworker. If you have a basic knowledge of woodworking and working with low voltage power, then you can build a mobile bar! Enjoy!
Step 1: Creating the Framework
Drill Press
Table Saw
Hand Drill
Wire Strippers
Soldering iron
Various Clamps
Dremel Tool
Utility Knife
Heat gun (hairdryer will work)
Air Compressor
Air Stapler/nailer
Socket Set
Belt Sander
First, purchase a sheet of 4ft x 8ft x 3/4 inch plywood. I used the flooring grade as it will be covered later.
Cut the sheet into 8 2ft x 2ft squares and mark their center points by drawing an X across the middle from the corners. Drill a 1/4 inch hole in the middle of them.
Using a router table, measure out 9 inches from the edge of the cutting bit and bolt your wood square loosely to it. Turn the router on and plunge it slowly upwards until it goes through the wood. Lock the router in place and proceed to rotate the squares until you complete the circle. Repeat eight times. This will give you 18 inch circles. Why 18 inches? I am using an off-the-shelf plastic dome that is that size. Specifically, it is a clear dome from Aspects used for bird feeders. This was purchased from a bird store for $35. The shot dispenser we are using is available on ebay new for $30.
Three of the circles will be cut into rings. To cut out the centers, I made a quick jig as pictured to be able to rotate the circles against it. Two of the finished rings should be 1.75 inches thick and one will be 1 inch thick.
Take one of the circles and setup the router to create a groove about 3/4 through the thickness for the dome to sit in.

I looked on Facebook and there is no option to friend BaR2D2. Did you reach the max # of friends?
or another is have an electronic valve..
It looks like yours has a lot of weight up high, and a tripod wheel arrangement that looks even tighter than mine. How do you get stability? What is the total weight of the robot? Has anyone ever been "heavy handed" at a party and knocked it over? Mine gets overturned at Halloween.
I am taking a 2nd shot at getting the AGC schematic on the site (for the neon driver). Another comment about modulating lights to music: I have never seen anyone else have lights that are on and get dimmer with the music. Having lights in pairs (one dims, one brightens) guarantees that the amount of light is constant, but where it comes from changes. No blackouts when the song ends!
Trimpot V3 sets the level the AGC regulates to. Meter (or LED) indicates whether the circuit is getting enough/too little/too much audio.
Your neon driver probably will need work. You need an input that causes the neon to smoothly brighten/dim as the control voltage is changed. You will most likely want to regulate the current to the driver rather than the voltage. You can use LM324 (4 opamps in an IC) instead of 741.
You can run this on one voltage if you float +input of integrator to about +3V (use resistor divider between +V/GND), and feed GND into R18. You may also need AC coupling/bias network going into U1.
would be cool with some more pictures
I still do not understand your method of wiring between the radio controller/receiver and the speed controllers. Can you send me the sketches that you made for the wiring? Do I have to use the servo - and does it take signals from the radio controller? Thank you.

text: Finance overview faculty program organizations after graduation Students in the finance program study the science and art of making investment and financing decisions under conditions of uncertainty at both the individual and institutional levels. For example, students learn how to answer questions such as: How do we evaluate a corporate investment project, and how should we finance the project? How do we manage a portfolio through the allocation of capital among different asset classes so as to maximize the portfolio's return while maintaining an acceptable level of risk? How do we identify and manage risk in a constantly changing market? How can we use opportunities scattered throughout the international financial markets to balance the trade-off between risk and return?
