For All Spinning® Enthusiasts
When do you stop eating?
05/29/2011 9:29 am
I took a workshop on nutrition a few months ago and the instructor asked the class, " How do you know when to stop eating?" Everyone responded, "When I am full." To that the teacher explained that a survey was done asking that very question in China and the typical response there was, "When I am no longer hungry." She asked us to think about whether our typical American answer could have anything to do with the obesity issue in this country? I have definitely thought about that for a long time. I began to listen to everyone from my family members to those in the food industry to see how they inquired about whether I was done with a meal and I have heard over and over and over, "Are you full yet?" I was never aware of this prior to the workshop. The instructor presented a user friendly approach to hunger and satiety. I have begun using this with my students and clients as a healthy minded approach to nutrition. When one is thinking about food, consider a 10 point scale with 1 being "I just ate," and 10 being "stupid hungry." We should never allow ourselves to get to stupid hungry because bad behavior happens there, just like if we have just eaten, we should wait until proper hunger signals because that is emotional eating from boredom or stress. The best time to eat is when one is at the middle of the scale. The middle of the scale means one's body is feeling a little fatigued, one may hear a little growl in the stomach, or one's concentration is lowered. Food, at that point, will bring one back to rights and one is less likely to binge. The same scale is used to signal when to stop eating with 1 being "still hungry" and 10 being "completely stuffed and have to unbutton one's pants." Again, the middle of the scale is where one would feel "no longer hungry" and be able to go ahead with the day and not be knocked off balance by too much food. This is very much in line with trainers and nutritionists telling us to eat 5 small meals a day, so one never feels really hungry or really full!Share

Hereby known as "MC Hawking - The Wheelchair Robot"
Here's the beast: http://spaz.org/~jake/robot-emc/DSCN9886.JPG
Videos: rachel driving rachel attacks a wheelchair driving around noisebridge
Improperly used, the robot can destroy itself, its suroundings, and run you over. Please know what you are doing and don't be afraid to ask questions.
- RTFI! Know how to engage / disengage wheel clutches, and where the power switch is incase it goes crazy.
- Always warn humans nearby that the robot could lose control and run them over.
- DO NOT "UPGRADE" UBUNTU OR THE KERNEL ON THE HOST MACHINE! (unless you are going to stick around and make everything work with it...)
- if someone is sitting in the chair when it is on, warn them that the robot could go crazy and kill them, it has almost happened.
- always make sure it's plugged into the battery charger, and that the charger is plugged in and powered on. The batteries are throwaways and barely hold a charge as is, so we need to keep it on the charger.
- We have not implemented even basic safety shutoffs, so you should be watching it all the time. It will very happily drive through its operator and the wall without stopping.
- If it appears to be getting out of hand, the power switch is just behind the joystick, where you turned it on. This will power down the motors and stop it where it is immediately, with the brakes on. At this point you can disconnect the parallel-port interface and drive it home with the joystick, or disengage the wheel clutches and push it home manually.
- If it REALLY IS getting out of hand, use furniture to try to stop its movement so you can get at the power switch. DO NOT try to use your body to stop it, it's heavier and stronger than you are and it doesn't feel pain.
M.C. Hawking the Wheelchair Robot, AKA Noise-Bot, uses an electric wheelchair (Action Arrow Storm Series). This is a mid-sized electric wheelchair which can be dis-assembled without tools and transported in a car, which is how it got to noisebridge. It uses two 12-volt lead-acid batteries such as car batteries. The batteries are wired in series for 24 volts, and it is necessary that they are matched so that one doesn't wear-out the other during use and charging.
At this time (nov 2010) the batteries are throwaways which have just enough capacity to play around with the thing for a couple of hours before having to go back on the charger.
The battery charger plugs into the wheelchair on the joystick side, just in front of the wheel.
The wheelchair is electronically immobilized by the third terminal of the chargers' plug, which is connected to ground. In the future, the robot will be able to plug into electricity by driving into its parking spot, so that the onboard computer does not have to be shut down or manually plugged into mains AC to avoid draining the batteries. At that point the computer will gain the ability to power-up the wheelchair electronics, so that the robot can be summoned from afar at anytime, without a human present to unplug the charger, turn on the switch, and do the reverse when the remote user is finished.
There is a computer (separate from the wheelchair controller which technically has a computer in it) which is in an extruded aluminum case like a car-audio amplifier. It uses a mini-motherboard and a M3-ATX power supply
The box is currently powered by a custom voltage regulator made by jake. It accepts up to 40 or so volts, but will never deliver more than 23 to the M3-ATX which is hard-limited to 25 volts. If the voltage is at or below 23 volts, its FETs are in full conduction and there is zero dropout. Once on, the M3-ATX will keep the computer running unless voltage goes below 7 volts, at which point the 24-volt battery array of the wheelchair is being seriously damaged.
The voltage regulator's input plugs into the wheelchair's charger port, on the joystick side, just in front of the wheel. The voltage regulator's output cable is soldered directly to the laptop's mainboard.
The voltage regulator's input plugs into a connector coming from the wheelchair controller's blue power connector, which is connected directly to the batteries. This is where the voltage regulator gets disconnected when the robot is not being charged regularly, so that the regulator does not drain and destroy the batteries. The output of the voltage regulator goes to two tab terminals and an on/off switch, to provide the computer's power supply with constant voltage, ground, and a switched-version of constant voltage. Read up on the M3-ATX linked above.
A circuitboard zip-tied to the arm-rest interfaces the parallel port of the computer to the joystick. This circuit uses transistors to trick the wheelchair controlbox into thinking that the joystick is somewhere other than at-rest in the center. Of the eight bits of the parallel port, two make the chair go forward, two to the right, two to the left, and two backwards. For each direction, there is one bit causing low speed and another causing medium speed. Both bits cause high speed. As of 11/15/2010 a steady-state on the parallel port is not ignored by the circuit, so a computer crash will cause the chair to go out of control. In the future, the circuit will ignore non-changing status bits, but the software has to be changed first.
At this time Jake is preparing to install sensors on the motor which will allow the computer to track movement and speed. An old ball-mouse has been disassembled and its sensors mounted on wires, and these sensors will be placed at the open end of the drive motors. An optical interruptor will be attached to the end of the motors' driveshafts, so the computer will experience movement on the x and y axes of the mouse when the left and right wheelmotors turn. Since the mouse is/was DB9 serial, it will be possible for the computer to treat it as a serial accessory rather than interpreting it as an actual Human Interface Device to move a mouse cursor. The next step will be a daemon to listen for serial data and to make available speed and movement data to applications such as the telepresence driving program (controller.py) to improve control of locomotion over a lagged internet connection.
An LCD monitor is being prepared to be mounted permanently as the seatback.
A robot arm made of mostly aluminum and animated by air-cylinders is fitted to the robot, but few electronic valves and no air compressor or tank have been acquired. Someone will have to invest time and energy to get the arm to do more than make the thing look more menacing. As of 11/15/2010 the arm was removed to make the robot more wieldy/less unwieldy.
The PC is running a stock Ubuntu with PyParallel being used by the controller program to access the parallel port. All the software from the home directory as of 11/15/2010 is here:
The above software is present in the home directory of user tvbrain and mchawking. The difference is that if you log in as tvbrain you are a regular user, but mchawking logs in to an instance of python controller.py which is how the wheelchair's motor functions are accessed.
username: mchawking password: emc
username: tvbrain password: [redacted]
Network Connection
The embedded PC is using a Generic Realtek USB 802.11b interface, which is sub-excellent, but the WUSB600N by Cisco doesn't work properly under Ubuntu for some strange reason.
In the future, one of those fancy Cisco 1200 wireless routers will be the way onto the net - some of them have four antenna connectors and do "A" which is apparently really good. They have an ethernet port to talk to the computer, and a serial port for configuration, and they run on 48 volts (POE is supported but has opposite polarity of 3com standard). Hopefully they run OK at lower voltages like 16v so they can be powered directly from the wheelchair's batteries. That way the onboard computer can suspend and do wake-on-lan if the wireless device starts sending it packets.
The embedded PC is configured from /etc/networks/interfaces Also, Network-Manager which is the gui-compatible 21st century newschool network configuration system is been pushed to the side, possibly for good. The embedded PC is now configured to find the wireless network called noisebridge and take the internal IP below.
Noisebridge internal IP address
The robot has claimed an IP on the internal network of
Static world IP address
For those not inside the noisebridge internal network, a static IP from sonic.net has been assigned. The static IP is
Access from outside 2169 Mission
Configuration of the firewall is done (thanks Jof), so that connections to the machine can be initiated from the outside world. This is important if people are expected to log in and drive it around from Germany or Singapore.
DNS entry
In the future someone will assign that IP address a DNS entry like
Local Operation
The electric wheelchairs' controller brain will not allow movement unless the joystick is at rest for a second when power is switched on. If the computer has not initialized the parallel port to the "stop" bitpattern, and the switch is flipped on, the green LED will flash endlessly because it thinks you are leaning on the joystick and don't intend to do so.
The drive-wheels have clutches which can be disengaged from their motors (and brakes) by pressing a button and rotating a collar until it can be pulled outwards. When the clutches are disengaged, the robot can be pushed around like a shopping cart, and the motors can be activated without actually causing movement. Sometimes the robot must be pushed forward or backward in order to engage or disengage the wheel clutches, because they are like gears and only fit together in some positions.
Disengaging the clutches before testing movement software is highly recommended, as you will be able to see the motors trying to run you over without the robot being able to actually do it. This is like taking the laser off of Johnny Five before sending him to the lightning-prone recharging booth.
If you are badass, you can compile the code in simulation mode following the instructions here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Installing_EMC2#Building_emc2_simulator
The resulting binary should run and give you a UI on your system. There's actually nothing machine-specific that you need at this point: your UI will look pretty much exactly what we have now. Select the "axis.ini" config file.
You should now just be able to:
- open one of the sample gcode files
- power the machine 'on' (unset emergency stop [red X], and set power [orange square] buttons)
- 'home' the various axes (must home all axes, use radio buttons to select)
- 'run' the gcode. (blue "play" triangle)
For most of the configurations there is a smaller window w/ an inverted cone representing the spindle (this is the default view). This will show the progress of your milling run. You can change the view and pan/zoom/tilt with the mouse.
For a sanity check, try simulating a run of the NB logo gcode from Identity
Then try gcode from the toolchain of your choice.
Many tools exist for generating/converting to gcode. Here's a good list: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Cam
In particular, here's how you generate gcode from
Bitmaps, Images
The EMC2/Axis application will import most image formats and create a raster scan tool path with milling depth proportional to image intensity. Haven't tried this but it looks very cool!

DXF is a standard file format used by many CAD programs (as well as exportable from inkscape and Adobe Illustrator). It's a good choice, especially as gcode export from Inkscape seems to be buggy.
QCAD is an open-source 2d CAD program. Linux users can apt-get qcad, there is open-source executable for Windows as well (but it's hard to find as Ribbonsoft took it closed-source (wtf?) and most searches end up at their page.) QCAD is very solid and a great place to start with CAD, especially if you can't afford/don't need Autodesk/Solidworks.
We use a DXF-GCode conversion called, unsurprisingly, dxf2gcode http://www.christian-kohloeffel.homepage.t-online.de/dxf2gocde.html [URL is not a typo]. In the /home/nb/dxf2gcode directory, run the dxf2gcode_v01.py command.
Open your dxf file from File->Read DXF. It seems to barf on DXF exported from Inkscape, but is fine with QCAD, so a workaround is to load the Inkscape dxf in QCAD and save it from QCAD (it's also easy to scale and rotate if necessary).
I am still working through the various dxf2gcode options but setting "infeed depth" to the same value as "mill depth" gives you a one-pass toolpath (otherwise it seems to do it in two passes.)
Coordinate units are kind of a crapshoot and don't make much sense right now.
Note that it may be doing a lot of math without benefit of the numpy library so it can be SLOW. It has no progress indication, and doesn't redraw the screen, so it may look like it crashed. Sometimes it actually does. But be patient!
Cadsoft EagleCAD is a schematic editor and PCB layout tool. It's not open source, but there's a free version that is very decent and limited only to the size of board you can lay out.
To generate GCode from your Eagle layout, get the scripts from http://www.pcbgcode.org/. These do "Isolation routing," that is, they will generate GCode to mill away copper outside the traces you laid out on a copper-covered PCB (as well as drill it).
I've added MAXCNC mill-specific commands to the pcbgcode config stuff, including setting the spindle speed to maximum and turning on the motor. (Config file is /home/nb/eagle-5.6.0/ulp/gcode-defaults.h on the mill PC).
First experiments milling PCBs = success! Jtfoote 23:57, 17 October 2009 (PDT)
I used .01 carbide end mills from here: http://www.amazon.com/Niagara-Cutter-059918-Overall-Carbide/dp/B000N477OK/
On 1-sided copper-plated (1-oz) circuit boards from here: http://www.mpja.com/prodinfo.asp?number=14868+DT
To start, create a layout in Eaglecad. To work best, use one layer (which can make routing a pain), and use a minimum trace size of 0.012 inches. Make sure you do a DRC check with 10 mil isolation spacing (thouugh I have found it misses trace-pad distances).
From the Eagle command line,
run pcb-gcode-setup
This creates several gcode .ngc file in the same directory as your eagle .brd file. They have suffixes like "top" "bot" and "d" for top copper, bottom copper, and drill. Run AXIS2 and load the appropriate file. Look CAREFULLY at the tool path. Does it really isolate everything you want it to? If not, you may have to increase spacing and re-run. Check especially places of small pitch and tight clearances, especially between traces and pads.
Milling the copper is a tradeoff between quality and speed. At fast speeds, the copper tends to get rough at the milled edges. Slow speed rates help a lot but can lead to impractically long milling times.
2.5 ips gives beautiful results, but a good compromise is something like 5 - 8 ips (set in the pcb-gecode setup). If you look at File->properties in the EMC2-Axis tool it will give you a rough idea of the milling time.
Setting the Z home at precisely zero (at the board surface) is very important, because we are working at depths of hundredths of an inch. After several attempts I don't think you can do this well with just the manual jog, and risk breaking the tool. Here's what I did that worked:
- Raise the head so you can put the tool in the collet. Put it in as far as you can.
- Tighten gently, only enough to keep from falling out.
- Drop the head to about 1/4 an inch above the workpiece. Don't touch!
- Loosen the mill tool in the collet
- GENTLY let the mill tool drop to touch the workpiece surface
- finger-tighten the collet -- tightly!
- Home the Z axis VERY IMPORTANT DON'T FORGET!!
- Raise the head and wrench-tighten the collet
I think the default Z Down dimension of -0.01 may be too much given that 1-oz copper is supposed to be only 1.4 mils thick (0.0014 inches). I've had good results with -0.008; .0.005 led to problems because I think the PCB I used was not perfectly flat at at some places this depth did not hit "bottom." With further experiments this may be because the clamps are compressing the PCB: at least it seemed to work fine more than 1/2 inch away from them.
Drilling vias
For through-hole components, you'll need to drill vias. Doing this is a multi-step, involved process. Because etching is sensitive to the trueness/truing of your board's surface, you only want to etch the board when it's mated directly to a metal block, but you need a plastic sacrificial stop for drilling. So, etch as normal, then add two registration marks to the top of the board. Unmount it, add the plastic backing, change tools, remount, and rezero, respecting the registration. From there, you can run the drill program after suitable modification (you need to manually comment out all M06/tool change commands).
Generating the drill file:
Settings specific to drilling:
- Machine:
- Tool Change: you can't actually change tools at the moment, so this is just to expedite your cutting process, and stay within the limits of the mill
- Drill depth: Measure your board with calipers, then add 10mil for good measure (I used -0.100" for the single-sided board I did yesterday)
- GCode Options:
- Ensure "Do tool change with zero step" is UNCHECKED. If this is checked, EMC hangs. No, really, you don't want to deal with this problem. It's awful close to "EMC hangs, you have to hard kill it, and then rezero the whole setup."
- Tool Change: you can't actually change tools at the moment, so this is just to expedite your cutting process, and stay within the limits of the mill
Once you've got the GCode files for etching and drilling generated, you need to tweak the drill file. As it's currently configured, our milling rig doesn't handle tool changes well (the CNC doesn't support automatic tool change, but the EMC software thinks it does, so the whole setup gets Very Unhappy when it runs into these commands). To remove these, open your drill ngc/tap file in a Text Editor Of Your Choice, and comment out all lines containing the tool change command M06. In GCode, comments are parenthesized lines, and they cannot be nested.
Cheat sheet:
sed: 's/^\(M06.*\)$/( \1 )/;' vim: :g/^M06/s/^\(.*\)$/( \1 )/ emacs: M-% ^\(M06.*\)$ <enter> ( \1 )
Open your drill file in EMC and make sure it looks sane. There will be a bunch of tool change steps, where it runs itself back to (0,0,0.2), then goes back to work. This is the tool change position specified above; you may want adjust the point to be closer to the centroid of your drill pads, to shave off a minute or two.
After your etch file looks good, and your drill files look reasonably good, go ahead and set up for etching as above. When etching is completed, don't take the board out! We need to add registration marks for the remounting. Manually walk the head down to (0,0,0.5). Once you're there, turn on the spindle, and gently lower the head til it just bites the copper. Personally, I went to (0,0,-0.008), which is the depth used for etching. Leave the spindle on, and raise the head back to (0,0,0.5). You can turn the spindle off if you'd like, then slew over to (1,1,0.5). Once there, turn the spindle back on, and go down to (1,1,-0.008) to make the second registration mark. Raise the head out of the board, then turn off the spindle. I'd also recommend slewing back to (0,0) at this point, to make re-registration easier.
Next, load up the drill file in EMC. You should still have the outline of the paths the head just etched on the display, with the drill file overlaid. This is a good chance to sanity check the line-up of things, etc. Once that looks right, move to adding a plastic backstop and re-rigging the board.
With those two registration marks in place, you can re-rig the board with a sacrificial plastic backstop underneath of it. There's a few of these in the document trays next to the mill. Change out to your PCB drill-end, re-zero as for etching, and ensure you have good registration (make sure the drill-end is sitting on the 0,0 mark when you insert it, raise to (0,0,0.1), and slew to (1,1,0.01) to eyeball the match up. If you want to be totally certain, you can turn the spindle on and just bite the board, but, in doing so, you're likely to obliterate your registration mark, so I'd advise against that.
Make sure you're happy with everything, and, assuming you are, hit Run. Keep an eye on things and be ready to hit the kill switch (if babysitting feels tedious, just imagine yourself doing all these holes on the drill press, and then try not to hug your newfound robot slave/friend). -- User:Jbm 2010-05-07 13:20; a big thank-you to User:jtfoote for all his help in familiarizing me with the setup.
Latest: the gcode export from Inkscape is buggy. It's python so could possibly fix, but it looks kind of involved. Workaround: File->Save As-> .dxf, then use the QCAD->DXF toolchain.
For Inkscape 0.46, use this: http://bitbucket.org/jst/inkscape-gcode/ (Do "get source", put all files in /usr/share/inkscape/extensions/)
IMPORTANT: Read the "Help" tab when you Effect->Export->Export as Gcode This tells you how to set the origin, and how to name your layers for different tools.
In the exported GCode, you need to add/change the following lines:
Set the cut height to -0.01 (for example, YMMV)
#2=-0.0100 (Height to cut at)
Add commands to turn on the motor after the first line:
G00 Z#1 S 1000 (set motor speed to 1000 RPM) M3 (turn spindle motor on)
And you are good to go. ---
This is cool but only works for Inkscape 0.43: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?InkscapeHowto
Cutting fiberglass (PCB) will eventually destroy any kind of steel cutting tool. The glass in the resin matrix is much harder than steel. You need carbide tooling. Note that carbide is too brittle for most metals and will just snap.
* http://www.precisebits.com/applications/pcbtools.htm * http://thinktink.com/ * smallparts.com carries Niagara carbide end mills in fine pitches suitable for circuit boards. Available via Amazon as well. * http://www.ottofrei.com/ also sells carbide tooling locally, which you can pick up at their store on 760 Market street #905 * High Speed Stainless (HSS) tooling available here: http://littlemachineshop.com/ * Spring loaded tool holders account for warped PCBs and mills: 2linc <-- expensive. Cheap ones exist. * Really small end mills bitsbits
Search for "small parts inc" on amazon.com. They have reasonable prices and reasonable shipping for endmills. (You can also search for endmills) I believe we have a 1/4" and 1/8" collet for the mill, so you're looking for tools with a 1/4" or 1/8" shank. I mostly bought HSS for cutting plastic, but I have some harder ones with exotic coatings for aluminum and brass. --lamont

Workshop notes, 1.15.2010
Machine parts and geometry
- The bed is the blue anodized aluminum extrusion to which the workpiece is affixed.
- The collet is mounted at the end of the motor. It holds the milling bit. Note: do not lose the collet, as it is basically impossible to obtain a replacement.
- The milling bit, which superficially resembles a drill bit, is used to machine the workpiece. To setup the machine, bits are inserted into the collet and then tightened with two wrenches.
- The workpiece is whatever you're milling - copper-clad board for PCBs, aluminum, acrylic, etc.
- Workpiece holders are small threaded rods with metal "clips" that are designed to hold the workpiece firmly to the bed. They should not be over-tightened, as it can cause workpiece distortion.
- Backing material is a piece of scrap material used between the bed and workpiece. It's important to use backing material to protect the bed.
- Limit switches are located at the end of each axis. These act as safeties in case the milling machine reaches the end of its travel. Note: if you're milling and manage to trip a limit switch, the mill shuts off, in which case you'll need to redo your work. Be diligent.
- The X axis runs side to side; e.g. the "width" of the bed.
- The Y axis runs forward and back; e.g. the "depth" of the bed.
- The Z axis runs up and down; e.g. the space between the bed and collet.
Affixing the workpiece to the mill
- Use a piece of aluminum stock between the PCB and the bed.
- Use adjustable wrenches to cinch down the workpiece holders to the PCB. You only want the bolts to be finger-tight; the fiberglass substrate can actually be compressed if too much pressure is used, causing distortions in the milled part. Do not use pliers.
- The collet faces upwards (like the tip of a rocket) into the spindle.
- Keep the plastic guard attached to the milling bit. Place the bit into the collet, and bolt the collet into the spindle.
Zeroing the machine
- Note: In the MaxNC control program, it's important to zero the mill - to set it to 0,0,0 - before routing a board. Occasionally, the milling machine will not home to 0,0,0 in the MaxNC control program. To fix this, go to Machine > Zero Coordinate System > P1 G54.
- In AXIS' Manual Control tab, adjust the X, Y, and Z axis feed controls until the tool is at the upper right corner of the circuit board.
- Chuck the bit, finger-tight.
- It is critical to zero the Z axis correctly. The idea is to drop the bit down onto the surface of the copper, with zero force, and then zero the axis. Use the manual controls to drop the bit, step by step, until it is about 1/4" above the surface of the PCB.
- Loosen the collet so that the bit drops onto the board. Tighten the collet.
- Immediately zero the Z axis.
- Controls for starting / stepping / stopping milling operations are located in AXIS' top toolbar.
- At this point, all of the axes should be zeroed.
- Click the Go button in the toolbar to start milling.
I'd like to upgrade the maxnc. Right now its a bit sloppy. I want to (1) fix it up, (2) make a locating system for two-sided PCBs, (3) make a sweet document with tons of pictures so its easy. -moo
Hey moo, who are you? The mill seems plenty accurate for our purposes, are you finding it isn't? (though a pcb jig would be sweet). I think someone bent the X spindle through misuse, if we fix anything let's fix that... Jtfoote 05:37, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Ideas for maxnc accuracy improvement
In order of utility and least cost
- tear-down + lube, wax x-y interface
- inspect replace x-axis gib
- replace set-screws, with hex cap with nut to lock down
- x-axis motor mount (stiffer)
- do swivel ball bearing set screws. (make sense with a gib? ) (anyways grease + locktite)
- add bearings at ends of lead-screws to stabilie (original MaxNC has these... )
- z-motor mount (plans at http://www.timeguy.com)
- spindle replacement
dual layer PCB fixture & locating system
Part 1 work plate for prepared pcbs (i.e. has holes for locating)
- make pin indexed work plate that attaches with t-nuts (no need to drill holes in the maxnc)
- add large dowel pins for indexing PCBs with pre drilled holes.
- release pockets to scoop under pcb
part 2 prep work-plate
- something sacrificial with indexing corner, to drill holes in PCBs needed to locate in dowel pins above
- Face mill both to get flat surface.
This could make it really easy to get good dual sided pcbs. Process would be:
- load prep pate, clamp down pcb in corner
- home
- run pre-written g-code
- swap plates
- home.
- Place pcb in dowel pins, glue, mill side 1
- Flip pcb (release, reglue)
- Mill side 2
- Remove, release CA glue with acetone

For All Spinning® Enthusiasts
AC what?
05/05/2011 6:47 am
I have heard so much about torn ACLs these days?having known many folks who have had to have it repaired?that I thought I should research it a bit and think about preventative measures as a means of trying to avoid this type of injury. So, this post will talk briefly about the ACL?the anterior cruciate ligament. I learned that there are four ligaments connecting the bones of the knee joint and this is one of the most important ones (recall a LONG time ago I defined ligaments as tissues that connect bones/cartilage to one another). The ACL works to stabilize the knee preventing excessive movement and limits knee rotation to prevent injury. Tears result from actions that overstretch this ligament and things to keep in mind when trying to be proactive about preventing ACL injury include caution when suddenly stopping/twisting the knee. The ACL is a major ligament of importance s it provides almost 90% of knee joint stability (wow, didn?t realize ONE ligament could operate and be responsible for such a large charge?) and reconstruction of the ACL accounts for over 50,000 hospital admits each year (doesn?t seem like a HUGE number, but seems like I know a large percentage of folks who?ve had this procedure done). Thankfully, though a common-ish injury, it?s an operation that can be highly successful, and 90-95% of folks who have ACL surgery are able to return to full level of life/athletic participation beforehand. -JuneShare

By Allison Sampite-Montecalvo, UT San Diego
CHULA VISTA — Southwestern College has moved away from a precipice and toward prosperity, said the college's superintendent/president during a recent update on the educational institution.
"I entered Southwestern at a very interesting time — probably the worst recession in our country's history resulting in the lowest funding for Southwestern," Melinda Nish told Chula Vista City Council members March 25.
Nish was hired in November 2011, a year after the resignation of Raj Chopra, who left amid the controversy that occurred when the Western Association of Schools and Colleges placed the school on academic probation.

Overstock Liquidation Diamonds and Jewelry - Mississippi
Diamonds Jewelry Online AtlantaDiscountDiamonds.com AtlantaDiamondsDirect.com
GDO Report
The owner of a company that was to become a major competitor in Online diamonds and jewelry sales this holiday season is having to liquidate much of their inventory.
The company was not able to open their doors or launch their Website in time for this years Holiday buying season, so they now have to liquidate a great deal of excess inventory they had stocked up on.
We currently have over 400 diamonds in inventory says Paul Martin, the owner of Atlanta Diamonds Direct, located at the Mall of Georgia. We were perfectly positioned to compete head-to-head with Blue Nile and all the other diamond retailers when we were suddenly forced to find a new location he added.
Most jewelers dont normally keep much more than 10% of that in stock throughout most of the year he stated. And were going to have to move much of this inventory if were going to stay afloat.
Atlanta Diamonds Direct was to open their doors and launch their Website in late October of this year when out of the blue, they were suddenly forced to move their showroom and offices. This set them behind at least two months, and the move caused many other things they had planned upon to be postponed as well.
Things are expected to be real tight for a while, Mr. Martin states, but if were able to liquidate the excess inventory soon, well be able to make it through to Valentines Day, when jewelry sales usually spike every year.
Individuals interested in taking advantage of this opportunity and purchase diamonds at below wholesale prices over the next couple of weeks are encouraged to call Atlanta Diamonds Direct at (770) 271-3434, and ask for company owner Paul Martin.
Atlanta Diamonds Direct now guarantees North Georgia's largest inventory and selection of the finest quality
Business began to increase so dramatically as the Holiday Season drew closer that the proprietors of

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! I cannot believe that we are less than a month away from Christmas! It always seems to sneak up on me. I am very excited the holidays are here though. Spending time with my family during the holidays is always one of my favorite things! Also, I just love seeing all the beautiful lights and listening to Christmas music. It is just pure magic!
Today I have a card that I made using the NEW Twinkle Toes cartridge.This cartridge has tons of fun frames! I just love using frames on my cards because I consider myself a stamper and cutting out frames allows me to really stamp. Stretching my stamping muscle is always a great thing for me. I am not sure what it is about stamping, but it is so much fun!
|The paper is from My Mind's Eye. The ribbon is from SU!
|This stamp set is from Papertrey Ink. the funny thing is I did not even mean to purchase this one, but I am so glad I did.
|I cut the tag at 3 1/4". Then I cut the smallest oval layer at 3" so I could add one more layer.
Have a fantastic week!!
Be sure and check out Joy's and Melanie's personal blogs for more creative goodness at Obsessed with Scrapbooking and Courtney Lane Designs! Have a great day!

Have you ever used this expression?
Have you ever been asked to do this by someone else?
Have you ever considered and really reflected on what this statement means to you and how it may differ for somebody else?
I love words.
I love the power they have. The beauty they can create. The freedom and joy they can give us when written, spoken or heard. Perhaps I have too many words for some people. I suppose those people won't read this which therefore makes this the perfect place for me to share this weeks words.
Exercise, riding in our Spinning® classes or participating in our daily activities in life can all push our boundaries at some point, testing our limitations. We are constantly told that in order to grow and develop we need to break down the walls of comfort and create new pathways.
May we all love and live by this philosophy.
This is what often gives me the strength when the 'poop hits the fan'. I think at least at the end of it all I will be wiser and tougher. That should surely make the current suffering and discomfort seem more worthwhile.
This is essentially what we do every time we ride and teach.
As instructors we are forever cajoling and encouraging our riders to push a little harder and 'dig a little deeper....'
Which brings me to my first question:
What does 'dig a little deeper' mean to you?
Is it physical or is it mental? Or both?
Maybe it's metaphorical?
In all my years of teaching, training and racing I had never really considered this particular statement in great detail. However due to a very difficult run I had recently it has been at the forefront of my mind.
I've just spent the last two weeks in Bali - beautiful, sunny and deliciously warm weather. Unfortunately not so delicious when you take a gal from a cold winter and drop her into the humid heat and expect her to run (without out dropping).
Needless to say running was tough in Bali but every other morning I was committed to sucking it up and just doing what I could - which most days was not so much.
I had a couple of good days but most were really hard. High high rate at a slow pace with a perceived exertion ridiculously high even though at times I was walking. You know it's a bad day when you're heart rate is at 85% with a stroll!
Anyway one particular morning that was perhaps a little too late and the sun and humidity was giving me a harder time than usual - I was struggling. I was really struggling. I was 5km from my hotel, I'd finished my water and there was little shade around. My salvation was that I was running along the beach path. There was the ocean to at least give the impression of coolness but it was not enough to save me.
It was during this time that I was thinking to myself -
"C'mon Tash - you can do this, just a little further - Dig deep!!!....Fight the demons in your head that say stop.
Quieten the voices that are telling you you're weak.
Do not pay attention to the physical discomfort that you feel and keep moving forward!"
Even with all my self pep up there were still times I needed to stop and walk because it simply felt too hard. I needed a time out, both physically and mentally to regroup, recenter and repair.
Sometimes that is all we need and I say that is okay. It is not giving up - it is a pause.
When you give yourself the opportunity to pause and really decide who you are going to listen to. Forcing yourself to silence all the negativity and search for the tiniest glimmer of belief in yourself that you can push through.
That to me is digging deep.
It is when you want to cry from the pain, the fatigue, when all you want to do is stop and you feel like throwing your hands in the air and say -
No more, I'm done!!! - But you don't because you pause and consider the implications of giving up.
You search every ounce of your being for that one little soldier still standing. The one warrior who remains proud and armed even though injured and tired he will always fight for you. If you believe, then he exists.
Digging deep is looking for that fighting warrior spirit within you and knowing no matter what you are faced, or how hard you are pushed or how bad it feels -
You can do it...
You will do it...
You want to do it!
You may need to dust yourself off. You may need to rest. You may not do it that day or session but when you are ready and went you find your warrior spirit. You dig deep and you succeed.
Words for each of us have different significance. For some they are just noise, for others they are poetry and music that touch our soul to the very core when expressed with love and good intention.
In your classes how do you use your words?
Do you give them the respect and power they deserve?
Do your words echo positively in the minds and souls of your participants long after your class has finished?
We are more than just fitness instructors - we are creators of change through exercise and through our delivery of music and words.
So rather than the 'dig deep' we may say to our students while riding, I want to say 'dig deep' also to you with your delivery.
Make every word and sentence you say in your class be mindful and purposeful. Push yourself to break out of your comfort zone in your own class delivery. Just as you may be pushing them to break down barriers and walls with their fitness, you are in turn respecting them enough to force yourself to do the same with your classes.
Then the benefit is twofold. You will grow and as instructor and you will inspire as a teacher.
Now that's DEEP! :)
Until next week - be happy and have fun kids!

Several behind-the-scenes photos from the set of "The Walking Dead," AMC's highly anticipated adaptation of the Robert Kirkman comic series, have hit the internet courtesy of an intrepid fan. SPINOFF has the details.

For Instructors Spinning
Let 'er rip
03/24/2011 2:46 pm
Freedom. Respond to how you feel. These are two cool facets of finding that SPINNING high. As the Instructor, you set the table to make this happen. Don't force it though! I've heard solid instructors from all over the planet. Good cueing. Inspiring music. Energy is on target. They have good vibe. Yet sometimes I want to see some of these instructors let go a bit. Enjoy the party. You can tee up a very powerful tool - allowing your riders to explore a bit. It's a cool thing to just let it rip for some time. I often will play a 14-16 minute song or section that causes a reaction to action! I will tell the riders to interpret the music for themselves and listen to their energies. If riders sense or hear music that says flat road at 80%, then let them go there. Another person may feel running...or jumping...or maybe a combination of several hand positions and movements. This is golden. Intensity? Same gig. If they want to do a burner section, let them smoke themselves. Its okay. No, really, its okay. Allow some room to roam. Its healthy. Same goes on the road. There are rides that I do intentionally by myself to find rhythm. These sessions are often better, more efficient and actually give me energy versus making me feel drained. This is what I am talking about. You can carve your own path here and feel good about working hard if you have the chance to listen to your feeling. You can always say a word or two during these sections to help your riders along. But let them guide themselves. Its also a great vantage point as an instructor - you can observe and learn a lot from your riders this way. Watch how they move. Watch how they show their personality. Good stuff.Share

A New Year's Resolution For the White House
Category: TRN Central Politics
Sam Sorbo's last article of 2015 can help the White House;
I don't know.
Though we hear it very often, it's an infuriating turn of phrase, and a choice one in political circles, recently made wildly popular by our president. Somehow, our culture has accepted this phrase, although I'm sure plenty of people are fighting against it. I don't allow my children to say it, and they hardly permit it from me. It seems we demand accountability from each other. Heck, I don't even allow other people's children to say it within earshot, encouraging them to find other ways of expressing either their lack of knowledge, or, more importantly, their willingness to learn more.

Anthropologie Acid Mirror
There have been a few versions floating around blogland of how to make mirrors like this:
This was my inspiration:
The issue that I have with most of the tutorials are the mirrors are just completely gone in spots. Theres no color variation, no depth. This is the difference:
This mirror was done using oven cleaner:
See how ALL of the reflective coating is gone?
These are what some done with acid look like:
Much better right?
So heres how to do it.
You will need:
Neoprene Gloves
Jasco Brand Paint and Epoxy Remover
Muratic Acid
Old Shirt or Carpet (So that your mirror doesnt get scratched)
Possibly a scraper.
Ok so first you want to lay your mirrors out face down on a surface that cant be damaged by the paint remover.
A reader just informed me that mirrors that are made before 1941 can have mercury in them. 90% of the mirrors that I do have to be cut for the frames, so I dont worry about it too much BUT if for any reason you think that your mirror might be close that that era. DO NOT RISK IT. Just have another piece cut. You and I will both sleep better at night!

8-Week Weight Loss Blogs Spinning
Erik from BL starting week 2 and he's craving something....
04/13/2011 2:19 pm
Ok so I completed week 1 of the Spinning 8 Week Weight Weight Loss Program. I have to say the more I read through my binder the more I realize my ideals and philosophy behind weight loss are right in line with the developers including Jennifer Ward Master Spinning Instructor. And when I say in line I'm not crazy enough to put myself on the same platform as dietitians and nutrition experts. I have found through the real life experience of losing and gaining 100s of lbs mostly through extreme measures that I had not made permanent changes and inevitably struggled. This program offers something we can all identify with...maintain weight loss indefinitely by living a healthy lifestyle. I have come to deeply believe in that notion and I know it is the only way to be successful. Hard core food restriction always ends up having the opposite effect because somewhere in the back of our minds we say to ourselves I'll get back to all my old favorites (the pizza, chocolate chip cookies, beer or whatever) and when the "diet" (a word I avoid, and a whole other discussion) ends, we come back to the demons and in a big way. So the key is not to feel deprived and live your real life, aka healthy lifestyle not this fictitious, extreme, restricted life that is always temporary. And btw some of those old favorites do not have to be forgotten just can't have them every day! Last week I was working with 2 healthy habits as per the 8 week program. I did great with the water drinking (Healthy Habit #2) at least 64 ounces a day. Pretty easy for me since I down a good portion of that during Spinning class. If you struggle getting your water down there are some great tips in the manual. Carrying around the 24 oz sport water bottle with me in the car and office and re filling helps a ton. So what about Healthy Habit #1. Stay between 3(hungry ready to eat) and 6(comfortably full) on the hunger scale. I normally do not work Sundays but I had some work to do in the office. At some point I decided to skip lunch since there was no one else to order with me...bad call! I ended up coming home for dinner ravenous, in the scale I was a 1 (Starving and Irritable!). So what happens is you come home and you eat and graze right up until dinner is prepared, in fact I was snacking as I prepared dinner all healthy snacks but when you add up a couple of cheese sticks, a yogurt, bunch of handfuls of nuts etc etc and then dinner it ends up being way too much food. My lesson learned: prepare for later instead of just letting the day unfold and saying oh well I had no choice. I could have brought a lunch in fact I bet if I asked my wife she would've prepared something for me (I'd probably owe her a favor but I can handle it). I could have picked up something there are tons of places that aren't fast food (I'm in NY). So many better ways to handle lunch, I just got lazy and told myself skipping will be less calories therefore more weight loss. I know that to be BS but for some strange reason I tried that again. More life experience to listen too! So all in all I had a great week, I completed all of my exercise: spinning classes and some weight training. I also did a Yoga class with my wife and remembered how much I love it. The last time I did Yoga was with Bob from BL so its been awhile! I look forward to this week. Healthy habits to follow for week 2, eating a healthy breakfast every day...no problem you ask me to eat? I can handle that! The other Healthy Habit no snacking after dinner, ok that makes sense. I see how this works we add a little take away a little, sounds reasonable. My plan is to add these 2 habits and hold on to the 2 from last week. If I can keep all these habits as a part of my every day life, I am for sure going to get what I really crave..... To lead that healthy lifestyle. Really do it and not just say I am because it sounds right. That's the life we can all truly enjoy!Share

Crockett, Hand, Mayden, Tow, And Austin Close Out 2013 With CGS Wins
By Ben Deatherage
(Photos Courtesy of Madman Photography)
The temperatures were a little on the cold side but the racing action was hot on the track. The Cottage Grove Speedway would host their final race of 2013 on October 5th with a card full of classes in competition. Divisions that were in action included the 360 Sprints, IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, Hornets, and Dwarf Cars.
Kyle Miller was lightning quick in the early stages of the 360 Sprint feature as he looked for his seventh win of 2013 at CGS but his first with a wing on. Miller, driving the Hedge Carter owned Huddle Automotive Repair/Oregon West RV/Steelhouse Metal Roofing Supply #71 XXX, would develop some nice sized leads only to have them reduced due to a caution.
As the laps clicked away Miller would be caught and passed in traffic by Medford ace Roger Crockett on lap eighteen. The SKS Racing/Al Parker Racing Engines/Champion Racing Oil #11 KPC of Crockett would lead the rest of the way to capture his twelfth main event victory at "The Grove" this year. The win would also secure Crockett his fourth career CGS 360 title in five years.
Kyle Miller would finish a respectable second followed by Cottage Grove's Colin Baker in the BC Motorsports/Steelhouse Metal Roofing Supply #2 KPC in third. Rob Held from Sutherlin in his Held's Automotive And Accessories/Budget Lumber/Independent Motor Rebuilders #68 J&J ended his night in fourth while the Goetz Brothers Racing/Great Western Transport/Speedmart Inc./Elma Lanes #9R Eagle of Reece Goetz out of Snohomish, Washington was fifth after flipping in qualifications.
Taking over the lead from Crawfordsville's Kyle Yeack on lap three 2013 IMCA CGS Modified champion Braedon Hand of Cottage Grove would win his second race of the season. Hand would keep the Jerry Severson owned D&D Automotive/Vintage Inn Family Restaurant/RDH Racing #7S mount up on the high side all while maintaining a comfortable lead. Hand, who arrived very late to the track, was in fact hunting deer until about 6:50 PM when he decided to try and make it to the race.
Finishing behind the leader was Kyle Yeack in the Mountain View Woodworking Enterprises/Side Oil Transport/Cascade Outdoor Power Equipment #47 Pro while third place went to Jeremy Richey of Phoenix in his Rapp Racing Engines/Jahnke Heating And Air #15J J-Rich. Gus Cooper from Creswell came home in fourth driving the Eastside Rollforming Specialties/BBQ Oil Barbeque Sauces/Mark's Autobody #10 Shaw with Jasper's Eric Ashley completing the top five finishing order in fifth.
Leading the entire distance of the Street Stock main event Jake Mayden would capture his first win of the season after only three starts. The Eugene driver in his Team S.D.M.F. #28 mount would hold on to the lead despite several cautions and a few challenges from behind him.
Ryan Emry from Corvallis, in his CGS debut, crossed the stripe in second driving the American Hero Carpet Cleaning/Albany Rental/Trustee Auto Repair #21X Chevelle followed by Don Garrett III's #75 Camaro finishing third. Ethan Landers of Bend would place his #17Z Camaro in fourth while the Fountain Gutters/Josh Fountain Painting/White Water Well Drilling #0 ½ Camaro of Cottage Grove ended the evening in fifth. For the second straight year Cottage Grove native Darin Crooks would be declared the Street Stock champion and for the second straight year he had built up a big enough of a point lead to miss the last race of the season for a hunting excursion.
The Bigg Dogg Recycling/A-1 Auto Supply #17 of Taunton Swaim from Dexter was once again looking for another trip to the winner's circle as he led early but teammate Justin Austin would make the pass for the lead on lap four. Swaim would trek down Austin in the closing stages and the two would make a little bit of contact with one another on the final lap. Coming down the front shoot to take the checkered Justin Austin of Pleasant Hill would edge out Swaim for the win. It was the second win of 2013 for Austin, who was driving the Rapid Delivery/Bigg Dogg Recycling #48, but his first in the Hornets.
Taunton Swaim was a close second while third was the Froggy's Towing/Springfield Auto Recyclers/Big B Tire #31 of Goshen's Teresa Walker. Springfield's Steven Moore was fourth in the Froggy's Towing/Springfield Auto Recyclers/Big B Tire #14 machine while Melvin Walker from Goshen also sponsored by Froggy's Towing/Springfield Auto Recyclers/Big B Tire was fifth in his #00 entry.
Finally the Dwarf Cars were back in action and Creswell driver Kevin Hicks kept his Hicks Family Racing/The Wright Shop of Creswell #78 out in front for the victory. Hicks lead the entire distance and would beat out Castle Rock, Washington pilot Guy Tow Jr. in the #42N while finishing in third was the Hicks Family Racing/The Wright Shop of Creswell #76 of Eugene's Brian Hicks. Completing the balance of the top five placers were the #46 of Guy Tow Sr. from Rainier in fourth and Keizer's Bill Poehler in fifth driving the Central Coast Off Road/Hicks Family Racing #14 for car owner Robert O'Neil.
That will conclude the 2013 campaign at the Cottage Grove Speedway. Be sure and check out the track website during the offseason for interviews, stories, as well as information regarding the 2014 campaign. We would like to remind the drivers that the championship awards banquet will take place on Saturday November 16th. For more information log on to www.cottagegrovespeedway.com.
