Thank You Fred
Thanks Fred...great presentation!
Another great presentation. Thanks Fred.
I've used USB integrated into the microcontroller (Freescale JM128).
Have used RS-232, I2C and SPI. I like SPI because its higher bandwidth.
Revieiwng archived class.
Hello from Beaverton, Oregon
hello from Edmonton, Alberta
@78RPM, we're following each other around the past few days for these sessions.
Better late than never.
catching up on archived classes
thank you
catching up
very good info - nice work
thank you Fred
Thanks Fred
Atmel is my preference
for working on new projects so the bootloader for this would be a great resource
I like the internal design option
Looking forward to another interesting day of learning
Picking Up Day Two
Great presentation. Fred
Thank you for having this series
hi all
I tend to use RS232 for debug but given the choice between I2C and SPI for peripherals I generally prefer I2C as you dont have to use seperate slave select lines. I also find that I2C is more standardised between devices whereas I have run into incompatibilities with SPI.
Thanks for helping this old guy chatch up.
thanks Fred, another good session
@Fred YUP! I used to work in Spring Hill. Sometimes we'd have to visit the AFB in Tullahoma, which isn't too far away from your home. You were also nice and close to Jack Daniel's... :D
@Lawson: Then you know where Fayetteville is.. That's where I'm from..
Thanks Fred, et.al.
@Fred Awesome! I used to live in Nashville and I miss that Southern drawl!
Looks like I've covered all of the questions. Again, thanks to all of you for tuning in..
@miket: What you have suggested is another way to program a micro, which doesn't fill the definition of a bootloader.
@FRED OK on two chip solution. Saving SW development time vs. adding a couple of dollars for HW can be a good trade off in low quantity designs.
@Lawson: Thanks. "See" y'all tumorra:-)
@JeffM... I use Kicad with Windows XP. The release that I am using is a year old. There should be a major update soon. Hoping for new features.
@Jef: LevitonDave nailed it.. Just like RS-232, you don't need to have a TX pin if you're not transmitting. In this case, the LCD never transmits. So, no need for an LCD MISO pin.
@garysxt: To reduce the firmware complexity. Instead of having to meld in the MAL USB driver firmware, I only have to key relatively simple RS-232 TX/RX routines that get translated to USB and back by the FTDI part.
@FredEady Thanks. Our application communicates with a cellular modem just using the PIC's UART--don't even need to use RS232 level translation. I think the main issue is getting the modem into a mode to stream the hex data to a buffer, then programming the FLASH and dealing with any communication errors. I'm here as a first step on my journey to understanding and implementing this.
@JeffM the interface IS strange. You get used to it after a while and almost anything can be done from the keyboard. And you can setup whatever keyboard shortcuts you want in it's ini file. And the newest version stores the schematics and boards as xml files you can edit outside eagle. I've used that to easily globally change things like line sizes.
Thank you Fred!
good day
Okay, it's getting quiet in here. See you all tomorrow, and thanks again Fred! P.S. Look forward to seeing you again at MASTERs this year... if you attend.
@aefelgate: I have seen this done. It all depends on the I/O capabilities of your cell modem. I would imagine you would have to interface to the cell modem's serial interface, which could be RS-232 or Ethernet. Depends on the modem. There were some participants discussing that yesterday on this blog I think...
@hwhankins: I've looked at Eagle in the past-- it interfaced nicely with B2Spice. Never made the leap, b/c the interface was a bit funny for my taste (lack of keyboard support/shortcuts).
@Fred: Well that's not that bad after all. Maybe I'll give it a go again.
@Jeff M: Around $30.. I think you have a board builit before they will release the Gerbers.
yes, save time and money
@ucschmidt: I might give it a go, given your endorsement. Are you using LINUX? What flavor?
@gberman: That's assuming the embedded device has an Ethernet port. I can see your idea of sending code to be loaded onto the remote microSD card via internet/ethernet as a way to avoid shipping delays and costs.
So they let you have the Gerbers now? They must charge for that... can you give me an idea of what they charge for releasing the Gerbers?
I have been using Kicad for a few years. It is now a mature and reliable package
Thnx. 73
good info
@miket: I've contacted my ISP and they are working the problem. Seems to have just appeared today.
If your doing micro SD for software updates why not just use ethernet and do it from your computer in your office while they are in theirs?
@JeffM actually there is a free version of EAGLE, limited to 1 schematic sheet, 2 layers, and 4" square max pcb. They also have a "for home use only" version for around $100 that removes all those limitations.
thanks Fred - adios
@FredEady We would like to take advantage of our existing cellular connection to our device to remotely update the firmware. Have you experience with this? Or, can you point us to some additional info?
Great seminar, BTW!
Additional free PCB layout tool for someone to consider: DesignSpark PCB
But you have to order boards from them.
@JeffM Have you looked at EAGLE from CadSoft? Not free but is multi-platform (Win. Linux, Mac).
@miket: Instead of showing up at a customer location to "reprogram" the micro for a version update or bug fix, you simply put the new code on a microSD card and drop it in the mail. They get the microSD card, plug it in, push a button and WHAMO the version is upgraded or the bug is squashed. If you're a Florida company and the customer is in Oregon, it's either an airplane ride or a UPS/USPS/FEDEX package.
Thank you everyone for a great day! (I'm off to P.T.) -sigh-
Thank you Fred.
BTW, Rich: This page has a horrible issue. If you leave it and return, it spends the next 5 minutes slowly reloading all the posts... like it's doing now. Pretty annoying!
@miket I posted earlier about a threat on the EDTP site. Hopefully Fred will see it.
@Fred. Thank you about the boards. (And I really enjoy your sense of humor!!)
@BrokenRotor: I like ExpressPCB. You get CAD and schematic capture free. Plus, you can order Gerber files of your projects from ExpressPCB. I use the Gerbers to have stencils made for large production projects.
@Jeff M: I tried Kicad but couldn't get it to work.
Does anyone still etch or mill? I rather enjoy the quick turnaround of the former (haven't invested in the latter).
it appears that www.edtp.com has been flagged and reported as potential threat to microsoft
I've tried those services in the past, like them, but felt there was too much of a premium involved. I was thinking about using Kicad, though I don't know much about it, except it's free and open-source. I've been a bit suspect of RS Design Spark, though maybe that's unwarrented.
@JoeFromOzarks: I stopped selling boards a while back. I can supply the files to have your own boards made if you wish..
@Kentj I don't know about BGA's but I don't know why it would not work. The difficulty might be in not being able to see the paste turn to liquid
@MazianLab: A bit of trivia.. National Semiconductor helped name my company. They mispelled my last name ED instead of EADY in their database. So, I was Eady Technical Publications until that little miscue. Lots of suppliers made that same mistake. So, I decided to make it easy for everyone and dropped Eady in the company name to become EDTP.
@Kentj Probably obvious, but I do NOT use the toaster oven for anything else (food)!
@aefelgate: Does it work on BGAs?
@Kentj I have to have it cranked up 450/Toast on the Bake setting. Only takes about 2 minutes to reflow. Don't use the wax markers; I just watch the board through the glass until the paste turns to quicksilver.
Thanks Fred!
@aefelgate: Excellent idea with the toaster oven. I didn't think it would get hot enough.
Diptrace is easy to learn and free to 300 holes and exports the correct Gerbers perfectly.
@aefelgate: Almost.. Beware of the second SPI portal.. It can only be configured for SPI on the 28 pin part.
@Kentj Thanks for the info about PCB123, haven't tried them.
@Jeff M: I use Express PCB for schematic capture and board layout but you're limited to four layers. I think you get more layers with PCB123 but it's harder to create your parts library. Both are free. PCB123 you're restricted to only one board fab house though.
@JeffM have you tried ExpressPCB.com? They offer FREE CAD tools. You do have to order boards from them, but they are competitively priced.
I order SMT stencils from StencilsUnlimited.com, and use a $39 toaster oven to reflow my parts.
hi Fred - what is advantage of implementing a boot loader as opposed to using the microchip reprogramming process
Listening to the recorded session to see what I've missed...
Thanks Fred! Great class!
Recorded audio is available now...
Jeff M asked: Was wondering if you can comment on your preferences for schematic capture, PCB layout, and manufacture. I'm interested in low-cost and quick!
Fred's company
Thank you Rich
Thank you all for being here today. I'll dive into the chat now :-)
Good seminar, thanks Rich and Fred
Hi Fred, Enjoyed you presentation. Was wondering if you can comment on your preferences for schematic capture, PCB layout, and manufacture. I'm interested in low-cost and quick!
Using "I2C" with a Silicon Labs radio chip in a current project. Haven't used USB yet.
@markharkins: Absolutely. In volume that would rival the transistor level shifter circuitry.
Great presentation.
Thanks for the talk. It was very informative.
This could come in handy to build an interface for legacy PLC applications that only support RS232 especially since the manufacturers can't seem to built a reliable interface. Will need to look at this more in detail later.
Thank you Fred for this well done presentation / project
I ve done something similar to it during summer - using ATmega32u4 MCU
With the FTDI chip you can make any type of USB device? (evan a USB hub?)
great job
I prefer USB on chip as I'm also using Ethernet. GPIB is the only external chip I need for communications.
Thanks Fred!!
@jef - not necessary to close the loop.
External USB. Thanks Fred and Rich!
Thank you for the presentation, see you tomorrow
Thanks Fred and Rich
Thank you Fred,
Thanks Fred and Rich.
LCD1 shows MOSI (SI) but doesn't it need a SO to close the SPI loop?
yeah i agree where I think selecting a micro with built is USB support would be easier
Thanks Fred! Excellent!
Thanks a lot Fred.
Outstanding presentation, see U tommorrow
Thanks Fred, excelent presentation again.
Thanks Fred and Rich!
Great Fred
Thanks Fred! You have the most calming voice. Love the accent!
thank Fred
I will select to implement USB in Microntroller not seperately..as it will reduce power, board size.
Thanks Fred - great session today!
Thank you Fred, great lecture
depends on the project, but the ft232rl seems a good part
thanks a lot
Thanks, I will.
@Fred Why did you chose the two chip solution instead of a PIC with built in USB for this project?
I prefer xternal but sometimes time and or power favors internal.
********** Slide 29 ************
@MazianLab: it should be availabel 24/7. If you find that it's not available, let me know.
External USB more convinient.
********** Slide 28 ************
can we use the microchip j-tag like reprogrammability to advantage and avoid much of this hardware and 40K size of code and just bang the hex files in using those sequences
The FT232RL part is very easy to use, we use it a lot (we'll use it as as debug port rather than put in RS232 interface). Typically, we opto isolate it from the microprocessor because of the current limitation of the USB port.
********** Slide 27 ************
USB firmware is a pain, but with good library support I'd rather have it built into the uC. However, the FTDI part is a great way to add USB to a legacy product or controller without USB.
********** Slide 26 ************
External USB
Depends on project, out side could solve some other issues.
I have used FTDI external for USB. Might use a PIC with built in USB for a project I am considering doing.
I use Atmel chip with USB integrated in chip
Unless cost is the issue
External USB is preference
Definitely would be interested in similar teaching on the AVR 8-bits.
USB within the uC is a little handier, but it's good to know how to use the FTDI FT232RL when the uC doesn't support USB natively
External seems more convenient
USB - lowering cost by minimum part count is preferred.
Depends on availability of windows drivers to support it
********** Slide 25 ************
@richnass, Thanks, I asked for archive availability time.
and we are on slide 24 already...
oops... just joined the live lecture... almost made it...
********** Slide 24 ************
the message board stopped updating for me
********** Slide 23 ************
@MazianLab: classes will be available throughout the year
********** Slide 22 ************
********** Slide 21 ************
********** Slide 20 ************
********** Slide 19 ************
I went to the EDTP website to see if thisd dev board was for sale but didn't find it. Are these available?
Thanks BrokenRotor.
What is the EDTP stand for?
********** Slide 17 ************
********** Slide 16 ************
********** Slide 15 ************
********** Slide 14 ************
starting into I2C, like it for chip interface.. SPI sounds interesting for board to board but i've not needed it yet
********** Slide 13 ************
I use RS232 most just used to it I am old fashioned.
Prefer SPI over I2C. Try using 24 identical ADCs and 24 identical DACs with I2C. I also use RS232 a lot.
Used the FT232RL a lot, great device!!!!
I used RS 232.
in the past it was rs2323, now is I2C and spi
Use SPI fast, simple, low power.
I've used UART and CAN
RS232 serial, i have the analyzers and i know the protocol
I like SPI for speed, but sometimes you are stuck with USART only. Whatever I need to use...
alot of 9 bit uart com
I 'm a SPI guy. Nice fast bus.
spi - chip select
i2c - addressing
Used RS-232 most often (less frequently now), I2C fairly frequently. Never used SPI but expect I will before long.
Lately, I like Maxim/Dallas 1-wire. Power parasitic parts right from the PIC port pin.
SPI for on board communication.
I like SPI, RS232
********** Slide 12 ************
I2C due to addressing support. I'm comfortable with all.
I like SPI because it is much faster as far as serial goes.
I used USART and SPI, depending on slave capabilities.
SPI, I2C, what ever I need to use! LOL!
my audio keeps cutting in and out
SPI for sure
I personally like SPI
i like the spi
********** Slide 10 ************

Hello ...i am in..
Streaming audio is blocked by my work... Youtube works though.. go figure.
Hello from Calgary
Audio started clearly.
Hi from Sofia
@brada - Yep - Spent many a year working on the 8920/8935 :) (it's Dave Burgess)
Hi All
Hi from Midland Tx
Audio is up, you might need to refresh!
Audio is up.
Hello Fred
Hello, from Greensboro

@LevitonDave: Hey I'm still in Trentwood. Ahh, the old days at HP!
no audio yet
Afternoon, from St. Louis MO.
Hello from Albuquerque.
I see that Microchip has their PIC32 Ethernet Starter Kit on sale this month as part of their February Dev Tool Deals
@richnass.... all the archive audio works fine after lunch but not before
Good evening from Iasi, Romania
Hi from Casper, WY
Greetings from Mass!
@ucschmidt. It should be on 24/7
@billT - Where in Spokane? Lived in Millwood for many years.
@rjtonnis Audio starts pretty much right at 11 (PST)
@richnass..... I have tried to catch up on courses that I missed last spring. The archive audio doesn't seem to work in the mornings. When do they turn it on?
Hello from Spokane Washington!
Hello, how soon will audio start.
@LevitonDave, Rich, After the Go Daddy commercial, I simply feel like I've missed something!
Anybody got a PICkit 2 for sale?
Good afternoon, everyone
Rich - you should know by now we're teh exception to the rule - social engineers ;)
Hello again from Durham NC
This is looking like a 24-hour class
Good morning all from CA
Hello again.
Hi from Montreal
Boot loader interfacing dependes on what's avaiable. If you already have a communications mechanism (RS-232/RS485/CAN/Ethernet/RF) use it to avoid additional costs unless the driver for it makes the boot loader too big.
@mharkins -I know ;)
Hello from Raleigh
@levitonDave I've designed smoke detectors before. Why not? LOL!
I was thinking Flash drive was the way to go but I'm still in the design stage on that part of it so always open to suggestions.
depends on app, agreed. but still, 128MB is an awful lot of memory.
@mharkins - Yea - not sure I want a smoke detector with an SD card on it :)
@LevitonDave Yea, I was reading boot loaders for the field, which adds to the hardware interface needs. For factory, there are lots of different approaches you could take.
Depends on application - not sure I want to write a distributed lighting control system for a 10 story building in assembly.
write in assembly, don't need an RTOS.
@drrowley_lpe - An RTOS will blow past that without even looking back. My biggest embedded design is ~4.5 MBytes of code including RTOS.
Fred - thanks for the input.
In general, the cost and board area for an SD card is actually above our threshold. 3.3V Serial with a 3 pin header is about what we can tolerate (may even drop the 3 pin header and only use test points for connectivity). SWD is typically only used for factory programming and many devices are reprogrammed or tossed if they don't work.
general interest
curiosity- 128MB of flash... anyone ever use that much? Even in a complicated software design, i have never gone past 20'KB', even with a couple of look up tables.
Hello all.
Did any one see link to the source code for this project ? When I go to the EDTP site (www.edtp.com) all I see is a shopping cart page for buying EDTP AirPlane card . What link navigates to schematics or source code?
Fred, wouldn't simple SD card interface be the cheapest. Hardware addition is low, no external IC drivers needed.
@BruceMcLaren: Not yet. ;-)
@BruceMcLaren - no we just had fun with off topic conversations. :)
Reading the comments already posted, I feellike I'm late. :-)
Hello everyone!
Good afternoon everyone.
Hi, LevitonDave
It used to be that a simple RS-232 bootloader was the cheapest way to go. These days, the FTDI parts are just as cheap or cheaper than the RS-232 drivers. To really get down and dirty, eliminate the RS-232 IC and replace it with a couple of transistors and resistors. The LCD would also have to go.
BBQ comments did not last too long - good eating but bad for the body.
@Fred Eady: Thank you.
Hi Fred - any suggestions on approaches to boot loaders for cost sensitive devices?
Hi, Kentj
FAT32 is OK to use.
@Kentj - thank you for your sacrifice and service. it is truely appreciated.
@LevitonDave: No I work as a contractor for Semetrol now. I'm a disabled vet and it got the better of me.
@Kentj - John Fluke, Bill & Dave and Howard were a breed that appreciated customers and employees and used that to drive their decisions. Dahaner just look at their acquisitions as something to fuel their next acquisition (lean out the costs in an organization to get profits).
OH! Wrong MikeH! LOL
@LevitonDave LOL Must have talked to Dan!
Sorry. Got my time mixed up.
@MikeH - still have an hour to the lecture.
John Fluke wanted to support equipment for seven years after obsolesence. When Danaher took over they got rid of support parts so they couldn't be maintained. I intercepted the parts from the dumpster and brought them in whenever needed as long as I worked there.
Still waiting for the audio player, right?
@Kentj - you work for the high tech company that shares a name with the state?
@Kentj - Left Tektronix for the same reason. Danaher took over them as well.
We use to compete - I worked for HP in Spokane for 20 years as well.
I worked for Fluke for 24 years. They used to be a good company too, before Danaher took over.
@uWave Hunter - Leviton Manufacturing (Melville NY) started out making gas mantles for indoor lamps and when Edison came along tehy recognized the shift in market and started pursuing electrical. Flat prong plug and pull chain light sockets were Leviton's inventions.
Not sure Fred is a Microchip expert. My experience is with NXP and Motorola but the principles are common.
Kodak is a great company, just not as big. Alot of people know of Rochester by Kodak
What company was teh gas lamp company? Colman
Will there be any discussion on other manufacturers?
So is Leviton - Mr. Leviton got together with Edison and teh company has been around for over 100 years.
Kodak is still a good company.
Good morning.
Morning everyone.
@uWave Hunter - understand I work for a company that started out making gas lamp mantles.
Thank you.
@Kentj - That one requires more detailed knowledge than I have.
@Fred Eady - Please look at Kentj's question on File system type with the PIC Flash Drive Bootloader.
Hello from Rochester NY Where kodak was once a photo giant.
Hi from Oregon
hello from Millington Michigan
Hello to all :)
I'm using a PIC32MX695 with flash drive bootloader. Would it be better to use FAT32 in this case?
@Kentj - You can ask - not sure if we can answer but if you flag it for Fred I'm sure he'll get to it when he comes on the chat room.
Good afternoon from Chicago.
@LevitonDave - No problem at all. It's always good to learn of culinary alternatives.
Is it too early to ask a technical question I wasn't able to ask yesterday since I didn't get here until 3pm CST?
Sorry EdB_Vt hobbies always are fun to talk about. It's an alternative to high tech.
There is also a branch of BBQ that comes out of South Carolina (I believe) that uses a vinigar &/or mustard based (not tomatoe based) sauce that doesn't have as much sugar. that might also be an option.
It's a good thing this conversation is taking place at lunch time (at least here on the East Coast).
Never tried that - Citrius might add a new flavor. Have to try it once the rain stops. Thanks for the idea.
One of my son's-in-law does the same for me. Those ribs are excellent. He puts lemon pepper seasoning on it for me at least.
A dry (no sauce) brisket might not be too bad since the rub to meat ratio is low.
Mother-in-law has the same issue. I smoke my own and don't put sugar in the rub. Serve it dry and she can put BBQ sauce on as appropriate.
I feel for you. Part of why I learned to make my own.
I sure wish I could eat BBQ. It either has honey and/or brown sugar and I'm diabetic.
BBQ - slow smoke cooked goodness.
What's Que?
we'll have to open a Timmy's for You
@Kentj - Yes but they have good Que!
They have no good coffee here in Texas except at Texas Roadhouse restaurant.
Rich have we picked on coffee enough?
Being in the PNW makes one jaded on coffee (among other things)
I think that's on purpose to get that "over cooked taste" people are use to.
Even Dunkin' Donuts coffee in the bags tastes like it's been in the pot too long when it's brewed.
New project - Embedded control of a home made coffee roaster. Woudl be a fun challenge.
Nope. Me either.
Still haven't figured out the attraction for Dunkin' Donuts Coffee?
We have Dutch Brother's here and it is better as well but free coffee is still free coffee. ;)
Tully's has better coffee. It's not burnt.
@richnass - we need the coffee so we are making sure we're in the running for the Starbucks cards. :)
66 in Richmond, TX. Anxiously looking forward to moving back to Washington state where we had all four seasons.
When I visit http://www.edtp.com/ the antivirus pops up a dialog:Norton blocked an attack by:Web Attack: Blackhole ToolkitWebsite 20.
Anybody else?

After years of hearing about Maytag's great, unbreakable products, and the fact that the Maytag Repairman was "out of work," I remodeled my kitchen and installed new cabinets based on the company's appliance dimensions. I had more or less become a captive buyer.
Not long after, my first two Maytag dishwashers had leaking problems, so I upgraded to a higher-end stainless-steel model. I thought I was free and clear from appliance trouble, but no such luck -- Maytag sold out to Whirlpool. After that move, it was one problem after another in my house. The company moved to outsourced production, which included cheap labor, parts, and maintenance.
I had problems again with the new Maytag stainless-steel dishwasher, and as luck would have it, I neglected to buy the extended warranty. That was a big mistake. After one year and two weeks to the day -- when the standard warranty ran out -- it stopped working. After about three days, I got in touch with the designated Whirlpool maintenance company. They came and installed a new electronic starter that cost north of $300. I kept the old part and went online to find that I could have bought the replacement part for $50 from a store in Boston.

I knew I had to take the opportunity presented by Sussex Day to get out onto the South Downs, but when I set off I hadn't really decided where to go.
I was on the bus heading to Brighton, which narrowed down the range of options, but still with another bus and/or train ride I could pretty much be anywhere in Sussex. Not only that but if I got the right bus I could even be on top of the Downs with minimal effort, but what would be the fun in that.
The South Downs didn't look terribly inviting it has to be said. The weather was overcast, it looked and felt like there could be rain any minute, even though the forecast said it would stay dry. I could see the odd break in the cloud, but even as we got nearer the Downs remained hazy and indistinct, not the crisp clearness that I had longed for.
As the bus headed towards Brighton I formulated a plan, I would get off before Brighton near the village of Poynings, by the roundabout, and make my way along the foot of the hills and then when the time was right I could ascend the hills and continue along the ridge.
This would not only give me a different view of the hills, getting up close to the northern face of the hills that I normally only see from a distance, but would also give me the opportunity to have a quick look around some of the villages that lay at the foot of the hills.
As I stepped off the packed bus at Poynings, leaving the shoppers to continue their journey to Brighton, I stood and admired the Downs. The bus stop is well within the boundaries of the South Downs National Park, and practically on the foot of the hills. It is the closeness to the hills that makes this one of my favourite bus stops.
In the background of picture above is Newtimber Hill. To the left, albeit some way off, is my old favourite Wolstonbury Hill. To the right is Devil's Dyke and the range of hills stretching all the way out to the west and Chanctonbury Hill with its distinctive crown of trees.
I will be the first to admit that the bus shelter may not be much to look at, but for me it represents an important gateway to the South Downs and the start of my Sussex Day walk.

1973 Mustang Parts
While very similar to the previous two years, many 1973 Ford Mustang parts received some mild restyling to differentiate them from the previous model years. The front bumper was one of the biggest 73 Mustang parts that was changed, as it needed to be redesigned to comply with stricter federal crash regulations. Front turn signals were also changed to appear vertically, next to the headlights. Additional emissions controls were applied, affecting the performance of many 1973 Mustang parts in a negative way.

1973 Mustang PartsBy Bill Tumas: This was also announced as the last year for this design, and for the convertible and those related 1973 Ford Mustang parts, so convertible sales spiked. Overall sales ended up being just below 135,000, which was a little higher than the previous year. The movie 'Gone in 60 Seconds' also made an icon out of a 1973 Mach 1 Mustang nicknamed 'Eleanor' and popularized many 1973 Mustang parts.
Other changes to 1973 Mustang parts also emphasized safety. Along with the new front bumper, new upholstery and several other minor interior modifications were made in order to comply with federal safety requirements. These additions didn't effect the cost of these 1973 Mustang parts drastically, which allowed the popular muscle car to still remain affordable to the masses
The 1973 Mustang parts under the hood were also tweaked for performance. Unfortunately, these tweaks often negatively effected performance for many 1973 Mustang parts, as the federal government steadily continued to clamp down on high polluting engines, like many that were under the hood of this Mustang. While these tweaks negatively impacted performance, CJ Pony Parts offers numerous 1973 Mustang parts that can help. These 1973 Mustang parts can install on the existing engine, boosting performance to acceptable levels, allowing for much better driveability.
At this point in your Mustang's life, it might also be time for a restoration. Unless it's in mint condition, CJ Pony Parts can help you replace worn out 1973 Mustang parts with fresh, new versions. These 1973 Mustang parts apply to any area of your Mustang, allowing you to give it a top to bottom refresh, if need be. Restoration parts are also available in upgraded styles, allowing you to replace worn out 1973 Mustang parts with an all-new style, making your Mustang look unique and special.

I have a couple of applications for Peltier effect devices.
Have used piezelectric device to determine pump position in stroke on rod pumps.
hello all from Edmonton, Alberta.
once again, thanks sir paul for the lesson you've shared to us, only i can say is that, EXCELLENT and much appreciated for the lecture, very informative and clearly understood...
i am about to sign-off, it's midnight here and i have office tomorrow, so, continue for this lesson will be by tomorrow night...
goodnight & happy good day to all!
i am now on slide 13 of the topic...
i am now to begin with slide 2...
i am now downloading the slides for this lecture with sir paul as well as for my reference...thanks & good evening!
once again, here i am again catching-up the lesson for this course day-3...
thank you for the recorded section
catching up
Thank you Paul!
Re. piezo use... not for energy harvesting so far...
Great to have access to the recorded sessions!
Missed the live lecture...
Taking the class offline...
caught up finally
Thank you Paul
No experience with fluid TEG devices
No current thermal energy generation project
No current work on piezo devices
Hi from Oregon
Catching up before todays session
Thanks Paul
Just catching up
This was very valuable information. Great time management to get the material in within the 1/2 hour target.
Thanks for having the archive available for those of us double booked when this was presented.
Thanks Paul, another interesting session
United We Stand
good day to all:) God Bless the USA
thank you Paul a lot of the good info. good points ideas, thank you
Thanks Paul.
Thank you everyone for listening today,
I hope this lecture was useful to you. See
you tomorrow. Bye.
Thermionic I have always thought to mean the emission
of electronics from a white-hot source. Its the primary
electron charge carriers in vacuum tubes.
Good Introduction here, I suppose Anne R will now have to set up a series of articles in Design News for the subject(s) ... it deserves more research ... will spend a little time this week doing more ...
God Bless Boston...
Thanks for the overview Paul
thank you a good info...
a bit different from TEG, there is something called "thermionic" which does not rely on thermal difference, i believe, although it needs higher temperature. i belive that Thomas Edison observed this thermionic effect. is it used anywhere, Paul?
Thank you Paul very informative
Great presentation. I learned a lot.
Real-life examples for the large delta-T is in boiler
and facilities maintenance plants. In boilers there's
lots of thermal waste in hot-pipe energy. This makes
ideal energy sources for untethered temperature sensing.
Ohk thatnk you. got it now. So best scenario is to mount the TEG on the side of a heat source, avoid if we can the top side of the heat source and NEVER mount it on the bottom of the heatsource.
Regarding slide 15, note that deltaT simply drives the heat flux, and is much easier to measure. The heat flux is used in the energy conversion, that's why Rteg (thermal) should match Rsink (thermal). If you maximize Rteg, you minimize heat flux.
Piezo devices: Low frequencies may indeed generate higher
power. Voltage is dependant upon the time-rate-of-change of
a single deflection. If the device has a heavy load, then that
change will happen rapidly and be large - potentially generating
a voltage spike. If the vibration-energy is period, then so will be
the output. If an impulse is applied to the device - that will show
up as an impulse energy on the output.
@AlaskaMan and rruther - thanks for the 'great white north' application info -- perhaps in Alaska you can find heating applications that you can use to get the large temperature gradients needed for TEG
I understand TEG's aren't very efficient. What sort of max efficiency is obtainable?
yes, big Delta T's required ... want to see some real life application examples of where / how to achieve those large Delta T's
Maybe slide 23 is not so well drawn. The heat source is the copper-colored
side, the blue side is the cold side, each picture stands on its own in the slide
This was a confusing way to present it..... but the point is - don't orient your
TEG is such a manner as to push heat back into the cold side.
Paul thnaks for the presentation.
So per page 21 the part requires a difference of 50degrees C from one side to the other to output 9mW?
Some people asked about temperature differences and TEG
operation. Once again: If there is no difference in TEMPERATURE
from the hot to cool side of the TEG, then it won't work.
Paul, I'm unclear about the way piezo devices perform. Is the voltage produced a function of the strain only, and independent of the rate? Also, in slides 9 and 10, the power curves show lower frequencies generating higher power. That seems backwards.
Hi Paul, Thanks you for all this. Perhaps I did not understand, or missed something. On slide 23. If heat sourse is on bottom, and we want to keep the cool side cool, shouldn't "Acceptpable orientation" really be the idea? Why does the pink and purple side have to both face the heat source?
test post
Good show again Paul
Regards the short circuit current question:
I believe we left 'x' out implying that for constant 'X'
area is the controlling factor for current.
I've learned that some TEG series are better for power generation than 'regular' cooling TEG devices. Those meant for power generation are sealed to keep condensation out and have a max differential temperature. This may be worth bringing up so people don't take the first TEG they find and hope to have good results.
Material fatigue question: I don't know if there is or not.
Certainly if the deflection is very high there must be, but
in general we should not be requiring that.
good presentation, looking forward to next classes ... would like to see some (more) real world application examples
@78RPM Yes, 100 Kelvin deltaT
Yes, 100K is 100degrees (K or C same scale) difference
in temperature from hot to cool side.
On slide 21, does 100K mean 100 degrees Kelvin as a temperature difference?
Thanks Paul!
Thank You Paul
Thanks Paul, I'm enjoying this series - well summarized and to the point!
thanks Paul
Thanks very much.
Thank you for today's presentation Paul
Another great one. Thanks, Paul!!
Are the slides from the other lectures avalible?
thank you paul
Excellent, Paul! Thanks so much.
Thank you. Was very interedted.
no experience here
Thank you.
Thank you Paul.
No experience, but certainly can be used on a SPA.
Hello, very late today.
as an example --- auto exhaust pipe connected to one side, other side connected to auto frame??
Have not used fluid driven but this is the application I am working on. Recovering some losses in the system.
No experience but working fluids readily available.
Today's next audience question isDoes anyone in the listen audience have experience with fluid-driven TEG devices?
No I dont.
pretty large delta T's tho isn't it??
Haven't seen it
not me
There are some other TEG forms, check out the second half of this informal youtube video (high heat but power output is considerable!) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNND2pxvxgU
not me, either.
Never seen one,
Will it work at -20 degree Celsius up north?
Yes, I've seen it. Here is another great use of TEGs, http://www.biolitestove.com/ It makes 5V available for USB charging via rocket camp stove.
Today's next audience question isWho in the listening audience has seen this clever contraption?
Very interesting.
Sold at woodway in Fairbanks, AK.
How is influencing the ambiant temperature the generation of electricity of a TEG if the temperature difference is the same? Say the set-up is at 20 degrees Celsius or 0 degree Celsius.
TEG will be useful up north windy
TEG is appealing with steam lines
"potential difference" always needed
Love to learn more about TEGs. I've learned that some TEG's are better for power generation than other TEG devices.
not at this time yet,...
Considering TEG
I've been intrigued by TEG
I am TEG
Not at this time
I am not considering TEG
no TEG
Not considering, buy interedted in.
I am looking at TEG
Not me
Not at this time.
Isn't X missing ...

@ RFoznot, yes Special educational materials below it download slides.
up top there should be a n audio bar. click on it to start. log in
do not use piezo for now.
@RFoznot, click on the audio bar under the banner and click on Today's Slide Deck to download the PowerPoint slides
***** Slid 9 *****
No TEG of mbut some Pizo.
Is there material fatigue in such a device on slide 8?
Hello everyone .... are we supposed to see any slides or hear any sound?
do not use
Oudio is clear.
Hi everyone.
not yet sound like a good option.
Hello everyone!!
Have used TEG for prototype but never made it to field testing
TEG, Desert Thermal to heat water to steam too drive generators
Trans Alaska Pipeline uses a propane powered TEG to charge the battery banks that control pipeline check valves
not currently using piezo or TEG.
I use pizo as sensors but not to harvest energy
No piezo or TEG in any of my designs. But a friend has a fan similar to the one on slide 17, on top of his wood stove :).
We do not currently use TEG but I am interested in this area to help recover some system losses in our systems
Do not use
No, but could be useful for our sensors.
Yes, working on.
researching TEG use
Solar thermal is a lot more efficient than photovoltaics.
Today's first audience question isDoes anyone listening already make use of Piezo or TEG devices in an existing application?
Hello Paul. Sunny in GA
Got Audio!
Hello from Milwaukee! Audio is up.
Hi all - The audio is live!
hello all
Hello from Longmont, CO
small hydro are plagued with debris and icing.
afternoon all
We hibernate, but don't tell anyone :)
Not sure about 24-hour days, either...
The stirling engine idea would still have to have *some* sun, so probably wouldn't go in the winter.
Of course, extracting energy from the cold is....well, one of those ideas. Wind, hydro more plausible, probably.
all daylight!
GVEA has major wind power online in Eva Creek
Oy vey....don't know if I could handle 24-hr nights!
I believe the State's fish counters are also powered with photovoltaics and zinc air batteries.
But the real killer app would be micro in river hydro generators
hello from Ottawa, ON, for the third time this week.
now 15hrs 22 mins daylight soon +22hrs daylight. Winter, near xmas, the sun may never make it over the horizon for weeks with 22 hours of sunset and near darkness all day, plus overcast conditions.
Hello from sunny Montana
Dept of Transportation has photovoltaic weather stations in Thompson Pass just north of us.
Actually, a stirling engine with a solar (thermal) hot section and the cold sink in the snow would work. Only problem is they're way too expensive.
@rruther2, pretty critical app there in RR Xings. Probably not a lot of conflicting traffic tho relative to some major lines. Still, an interesting data point on apparent reliability ...
How many hours of daily sunshine in those winter months? Cold batteries sometimes hard to deal with also ... very interesting!
I'd be rich.
@Alaskaman et al. -- too bad you can't harvest energy from the cold!
Hello, all.
The Alaska Railroad from Fairbanks to Anchorage uses photocells & batteries to control rail crossings. They probably need a boost from a vehicle during the sub-arctic winter months. No commercial power for most of one hundred miles with spotless performance.
Good afternoon, all.
Hi Everyone
Good Afternoon
Mark: If you you feel you're still in the grip of winter, you should see my front yard. Six feet of snow. I think we're going to have a white Mother's Day this year.
Alaskaman, what is energy harvesting to you; oil pipeline, solar, wave, wind power - other??
@Ann R. Thryft:
From a Cultural Anthropologists' viewpoint, what is your opinion on Energy Harvesting in particular, but perhaps more broadly, energy (and resource) utilization in general (OK, OK, the topic of a thesis I suppose) :)

Yesterday the LTC3105 (day 2, slide 10) was introduced.
TI seems to have a comparable part, the BQ25504. The DigiKey website says:
Texas Instruments' bq25504 is the first of a new family of intelligent integrated energy harvesting nano-power management solutions that are well suited for meeting the special needs of ultra-low power applications. The product is specifically designed to efficiently acquire and manage the µW to mW of power generated from a variety of DC sources such as photovoltaic or thermal electric generators.
Looks like an interesting part -- Comments solicited.
Data sheets and an evaluation module are available from DigiKey:
Don't you hate it when other people want to hold meetings during our learning time?

Old-maps.co.uk is one of my favourite websites and an essential tool for family historian. It provides access to digital copies of a large number of UK Ordnance Survey maps (and now some KGB created Russian ones as well). Although the site is meant to be a portal for buying copies of the maps, it has been many years since I used it as such. Instead I use it is a great way to browse old maps, comparing how locations have changed over time and locating buildings long since gone.
The website received a major makeover earlier this year, and it wasn't just the appearance to was updated, the entire system of view to maps was updated as well. To be honest it was desperately in need of an update, so much so that I used to try to avoid using it, now that it is a much faster and much easier system to use it is hard to stay away.
Searching the maps is simple, on the middle of the left-hand side of the home page is a search box where you enter the place name you are after and after possibly having to narrow this down if there are multiple places of the same name, you are taken to a modern Ordnance Survey map of the area. Here you can scroll around the map, zoom in and out before finally moving the marker to the place you are interested in.
Over on the right-hand side of the screen you will see a range of maps that cover the selected area, for a variety of time periods and map scales. Click on the one that interests you and the main window changes to the old map, it does take a while to load up but it is worth the wait. Once loaded you can do some basic scrolling and zooming in, but to really make the most of the image you will want to click the orange 'enhanced zoom' button, which uses Adobe Flash to provide more options.
This is the best bit, once in enhanced zoom mode you can really zoom in close and see some great detail, you can even see the section of map full screen (for the bigger picture). Obviously the sections of map are quite small and they are watermarked to prevent copying, but you can still learn an awful lot about a place from just looking at the maps.
The website is not perfect, some of the joins in the maps are rather obvious and it would be nice to know the full reference (sheet number) of the map you are looking at. The maps are quite expensive to buy, but they are at least cheaper for a digital version than a printed version, also watch their twitter feed and facebook page for discount codes and offers.

DENVER � A Colorado Senate committee will consider a gun-control bill this week that would ban concealed carry on public college campuses, reversing a state Supreme Court ruling last year that forced colleges to accommodate students with concealed-carry permits.
Chances are, however, few students would notice any change.
Boulder Democratic Rep. Claire Levy�s bill comes as majority Democrats in both legislative chambers push gun-control measures that include an assault-weapons ban, universal background checks and limits on gun magazines. But campus police and some students say any change on concealed carry likely would have little impact.
�It�s a difficult ban to enforce, because we have so many entrances and exits to this campus,� said Ryan Huff, a spokesman for the University of Colorado Police Department.
Nevertheless, faculty members have raised concerns about the potential presence of guns since the March court ruling, which said only the Legislature could create exceptions to the state�s concealed-carry law. Levy, whose district is home to the main campus of the University of Colorado, said it was those fears that prompted her to propose the bill.
�It wasn�t so much a concern that someone might use a weapon, but that not knowing if there was a weapon would be intimidating and inhibiting,� Levy said.
Levy�s concealed-carry ban passed the House last month, and today it is expected to go before the Senate State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee.
Concealed carry is available to adults 21 and older, only a portion of Colorado�s college students. Without security checkpoints, enforcement is hard. And officials at several Colorado universities and colleges say they are unaware of any incidents involving a concealed-carry permit holder before or after the Supreme Court ruling in March 2012.
In November, however, an employee at the University of Colorado dental school accidentally discharged her weapon inside an office at the school, slightly injuring herself and another person.
�People on our campuses report that it doesn�t seem to have much of a day-to-day impact, or a visible day-to-day impact, on campus,� said University of Colorado spokesman Ken McConnellogue. �It�s not like (the campus police) will knock on doors and say, �Hey, you got a gun?��
�There�d be no difference,� said Zach Knight, a sophomore chemistry student at Metropolitan State University in Denver. �The whole point of concealed carry is not to know.�
Knight, a 19-year-old gun owner, said he opposes the bill. He plans to get a concealed-carry license when he�s 21, and he wants to be able to carry his weapon on a campus that Metropolitan shares with CU-Denver and the Community College of Denver, where there�s a steady flow of 45,000 students and others on and off campus.
�I�m not saying something�s going to happen, but there are a lot of homeless guys around here, and what if something did?� Knight said.
Some faculty and administrators have been vocal about the desire to ban concealed weapons.
Metropolitan State�s board of trustees and the Faculty Senate voted to support Levy�s bill. Faculty members said they worry about a safe working environment, guns in the classroom, and the prospect of guns mixing with after-hours alcohol use.
�There is no need or purpose for guns,� said Metropolitan State President Stephen Jordan. �The thought of that chills the academic environment that we�d like to have in the classroom.�
Twenty-one states ban concealed weapons on public university campuses, and 23 states let colleges set their own policies, according to the National Council of State Legislatures. Arizona, Kentucky, Maryland and Colorado are considering banning guns from campus.
The Colorado School of Mines, the Colorado Community College system and Colorado State University support the bill.

Another alleged victim has come forward with accusations of fraud and forgery toward Compass Academy and its founders, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
The complainant, a North Augusta resident, told officers he wrote two checks to Jay Brooks of Brooks Financial to go toward bonds for Compass Academy, the private school Brooks was trying to start along with his wife Tracy, according to a police report. The checks were written for $30,000 and $180,209.62.
"(The complainant) said that he had been contacted by the Attorney General about Jay Brooks and was told to file a report," the report stated.
The complainant told officers he had contacted Brooks regarding the checks "and (Brooks) was unable to provide (the victim) with any paperwork concerning his previous checks," according to the report. The alleged victim said one of his bonds had matured, the report stated, but that Brooks never sent him a check for that amount.
The complainant also alleged that Brooks forged his name on several documents, and pointed out to police how the signatures on the documents did not match the signature on the back of the complainant's driver's license, according to the report.
Brooks, his wife and his companies, J. Brooks Financial and Brooks Real Estate Holdings, are accused by the S.C. Attorney General of illegally selling unregistered securities to fund the establishment of Compass Academy.
They are also accused by the Securities Division of the Attorney General's Office of using those funds to buy groceries, their home, vacations and jewelry, rather than investing them.
Aiken resident Sandra Fadeley also has filed a civil suit in Circuit Court claiming that Brooks forged her signature, badly, when he sold all of her stocks and invested the money in Compass Academy.
Jay Brooks is also facing a civil suit filed by the Caniglia Management Group.
The Group, along with Thomas and Joshua Caniglia, allege in the suit filed in Aiken that the Brookses were in breach of contract with them. According to the suit, they were hired by Jay and Tracy Brooks to assist with selecting property for Compass Academy, contract with an architect and aid in acquiring the correct zoning permits to build and interact with utilities and to act as a liaison between "contractors, builders and architects and city, county and state officials."
The group's lawsuit alleges they were to be paid a fee equal to 5 percent of the project's total cost, or $350,000 in contractually set increments. But, the suit alleges, they had only received $17,000 in June 2012, when they were told their "services were no longer needed because the Texas investors had refused to permit any further payments."
When asked if the Attorney General's Office is contacting investors and instructing them to file police reports, a spokeswoman for the Attorney General's Office declined to comment.
"We are unable to comment on our actions we are taking right now," she said. "It's not our policy to comment on open cases."
A phone call seeking comment from Brooks' attorney was not immediately returned on Monday afternoon.
The court-appointed receiver of Compass Academy's assets recently determined that it was not feasible to get the school up and running for the 2013-2014 school year and has been given approval to market and list the buildings and property at the school.
A group of investors has plans to buy back the building, raise funding to complete it and have it open by fall of 2014.

Jamal Crawford suffered a strain of his left calf in the first half of the game vs the Rockets. His status is unknown as he awaits further examination. J-Crossover normally tweets after a Clipper game, but there has been no word from him thus far. Jamal has been a huge part of the Clipper success thus far this season and hopefully it is not a serious injury.
Hopefully Jamal is ok because it seems like JJ Redick will be injured all year. JA Adande said that Redick might be out for the season. That would suck.
When did Adonde at that on Redick? I ask because Dan W said today that Redick shot for first time since injury, which is encouraging
Adande = Lakers schill. Marc Stein = Knicks schill. Shelbourne and Markazi = L.A. schill. They all have interests and roles with certain teams.
Well,I suspect Jamal is more hurt then we know. Potential new guy (Grainger) I think was out half of last year because of a calf strain. Without JJ or Jamal,we need guard help ASAP.
I think it will all depend on the severity of the strain. It's probably just a mild sprain. Definitely not a tear, which would end his season and a long rehab.
Let them rest and JJ and be ready for the play off, I hope we will maintain our position for HC advantage.
While losing Picaso short term might suck, the silver lining is it might be the final thing that pushes Granger to join the clips, as he has stated that one of the big selling points is PT, which he should have plenty of at this point. (I know they don't play the same position, but its not like DC is a shooting guard, duds/barnes/bullock can play 2 with granger at 3)
http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/stor ... ources-say
This article says his guys met with the Clips during last nights game and that he is favouring us over the Spurs.
Picaso? I never heard that one before.
Yeah I saw that too, I know we are the front-runners, but this could be the final push he needs. Man these injuries are killing us.
Blake and JC have been the best two players and most consistent players in the last month. It's gonna be tough if we lose him
maybe because his skills are like art? lol
Please be okay Jamal.
This is obviously a heavy blow considering JJ is out well.
I was at the game, and Jamal didn't look right all game.
But fortunately he didn't limp to the locker room or
anything. I'm guessing he'll be alright with some rest.
We have to remember we had one of the most grueling schedules
and he has played EVERY GAME.
Though he balls hard, and still looks like a kid, the reality is
he is 33 years old. He isn't Blake, nor DJ in their early 20's.
Sounds like he just needs some rest.
Time to pull a popovich.. You know everyone is hurt
during the season, but miraculously everyone has healed
by the POs.
Hope we can get Granger. If Crawford is out this is the perfect time for Granger to get minutes.
You need to listen to the *** podcast. I think they are the guys that came up with it. They are on here from time to time so I am sure they can confirm. I love it. Paints a picture of perfection.
Crawford deserves the rest maybe back in a week or two.
Just read that calf strains can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few Months, hopefully it's nothing serious and we get him in time for the playoffs.
I think it's a grade 1 strain.
Let's just hope it's either a grade I or II cause those take 2-3 and 3-6 weeks to heal respectively, as long as he's back before the playoffs...
I guess that makes signing Granger extremely important.
Ugh we need some news on this!
And there it is, right when i post...
Jamal Crawford got MRI today that revealed mild sprained left calf. He's day to day. Good news for Clippers and @JCrossover.
^^Good news! Sounds like a "mild" strain is less than even grade 1. Probably no need to rush Jamal though- pretty sure the guys can take care of the Pelicans at home w/o him, especially since Anthony Davis will likely be sidelined.
Agreed, take it easy, do not risk further or lingering injury.
That New Orleans Game would be a good chance to get both Danny Grnager and Big Baby some time
Phew! Jamal even comes up clutch when it comes to injurys.
AD is day-to-day as well, so he may play Saturday.
In any event, the Clippers schedule is actually fairly spaced out the next couple weeks.
What's the news on Redick? I heard he won't be back until playoffs...
Can we bring in Ben Gordon on a 10 day or something. He can still shoot and probably carry the load while Crawford and Redick are out.
He shot for the first time yesterday since the injury first occurred. Signs that he is coming back along.
What a relief Jamal's injury wasn't serious. Perhaps Doc will just allow Jamal to rest up on Saturday just as a precaution. Clippers need Jamal back better than ever.
WHOOO! it's not even a strain it's just a sprain... Attaboy Jamaal!
Well that's great news! Clippers schedule is pretty light too, but still Western Conference heavy. They'll need Jamal.
It's a strain, not sprain.
You can't sprain a muscle (calf, bicep, quad, etc.)... only a joint.
Who cares what it is as long as he is just day-to-day
Rather get Granger
Looks like Jamal's injury is not serious.
Says he should miss 3 games till March 6 against the Lakers.
He should miss the laker game lol
Don't worry, if he did play it wouldn't be much. I predict big games for DC and Big Baby in that one.
I'ts about time we start getting Cocky.
Losing Jamal would've seriously put our post-season in jeopardy.
According to arash markazi Crawford out 2-3 weeks
Let Reggie play doc
2-3 weeks? wow.. I thought it was 2-3 games..
What the heck? Thought it was day to day?
Lawler repeated 2-3 games - maybe hey misheard arash
I think its only 2-3 games up to Lakers game.

When it comes to the Ancestry.co.uk website you never know quite what you are going to wake up to. This morning I took a look at the website and discovered that they have uploaded images from the 1911 census for England, Wales, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
The images are not indexed yet, or at least the index is not online yet. I am sure we will hear more about this when the news is officially released by Ancestry but for now you will need to have an idea where you should be looking, possibly using their previously released Census Summary Books.
According to their source information page: "They can be browsed by county, civil parish, sub-registration district, and enumeration district."
I am certain a lot of people have been eagerly awaiting this release and even if you haven't it will be good to have another alternative index available when it does go live. Unfortunately we still have to wait until next year to view the contents of the infirmity column.

For those interested in Hitchcock Woods flora, there is now an app for that.
What started as a book by Aiken resident Ken Perrine, "Trailside Flowers of Hitchcock Woods," a photography collection featuring 221 species of wildflowers, has now become an app users can download on their iPhone or Android cellphones. The app is called Hitchcock Woods Flora.
"Guess the short of it was, Nancy (Perrine's wife) and I always loved wildflowers, and we have for 40 years taken our vacations in the North Carolina mountains," Perrine said. "The flowers that grow up there don't grow in Miami where I originally lived. Coming to the Woods, I was just curious about what everything was. I was just driven by curiosity."
After 300 to 400 hours over three to four months, Perrine finished his first Android app.
"I was with him half of the hours he was actually doing this," Nancy said. "I was totally an assistant, a hold the tripod kind of thing. But we have always been interested in wildflowers; we even bought a book for our children when they were very tiny in North Carolina."
Perrine had done industrial training work and was familiar with types of computer programming – HTML and Better Basic – before starting the app. He also served in the Navy and took a computer class in 1962. But for an app, he went as far as to buy an app book for beginners, but had no luck in figuring it out.
"I was stumbling around on the web one day, and you just type in the question about finding an easy way to develop an app for an Android," Perrine said. "And this thing called 'Andromo,' a software development company which provides templates to guys like me so I wouldn't have to learn new languages, popped up."
The app not only provides pictures of the various flora found in the Woods, it offers the common name, scientific name, growth habitat, size and trail name where it's found, among other details.
The app has served its purpose. It has even educated the Perrines' granddaughter, Betsy, 8 who is homeschooled in third grade, to use the app when given assignments about trees, configurations and wildflowers throughout the Woods. Perrine hopes in the future, he can add ferns, grasses and trees to the list.
"I go out in the Woods maybe six, seven times a day with a group of guys, and sometimes Nancy and I go out in the afternoon maybe two to three times a week," Perrine said. "As it's been for me, I hope this is an inspiration to people who use the Woods and protect the Woods."
Doug Rabold, executive director of the Hitchcock Woods Foundation, said the Perrines have been incredibly important contributors to the Woods.
"Ken has done an extensive study of wildflowers and of the giant trees in the forest," Rabold said. "And now with this new app, he has done with his own time and expense, it is a real gift to the Foundation and to the community who has enjoyed the Woods."

Persistence – that's what Aiken City officials say is needed to successfully continue its Northside Initiative which was one of many things discussed during the first of Council's two-day retreat.
Work completed and to be done in Northside neighborhoodsCity of AikenCrosland ParkWork completed:• 12 homes renovated• 9 waiting renovation• 6 vacant lots (1 community garden, 2 Safe Route to Schools lots)• 7 homes rented (3 renovated)• Repair of several sewer sections• New sewer lines in street, water services, curb, gutter and sidewalk on Aldrich Street from Sommers Street to Hahn AvenueFuture:• Renovate community center house• Complete renovations of 9 homes in inventory• Renovate 4 rental homes when tenants move• Complete 4 Capital Project Sales Tax sewer line replacements• Leadership Aiken County Class 2012-2013 adopted Safe Route to Schools property lotsToole HillWork completed:• 31 homes built• Water mains replaced on Dillon and Toole• New meters and services for water• New sewer services, street lights, curb and gutter, landscaping and sidewalk improvementsFuture:• Expand along Dillon, Cox, Toole, McCormick• Refurbish not build new • Continue water main and service replacement• Develop property at Hampton and McCormickEdgewoodWork completed:• 3 homes constructed• 11 additional lots cleared• Sidewalk installed along Sundy from Hampton to Kershaw, along Hampton from Horry to Sundy and along Kershaw from Hampton to York.• Storm sewer installed from Sundy to Hampton on Sumter• Water main replaced on SumterFuture:• Construct storm water control• Build 11 new homes• Rehabilitate 25 homes
The 27th Annual Horizons meetings commenced Friday afternoon at the Rye Patch and staff updated Council on the project, which kicked off in 2009, to improve the Northside of the city.
Engineering and Utilities Director Larry Morris reviewed what work has been done in various Northside neighborhoods. He began by introducing the City's new Northside Development Services Project Coordinator Leslie Wilcher and George Grinton, engineering and utilities director-elect who will take over when Morris retires in May. Both Wilcher and Grinton will play a big role in the future of this project.
Crosland Park, which was most widely discussed, has seen the renovation of 12 homes which are now listed with local Realtors – nine more homes are lined up for renovation. These homes, which date back to the 1950s, were revamped and made more energy efficient by the City in an effort to influence positive change in the neighborhood.
Grinton said they have established more realistic pricing to the refurbished homes based on today's market. The homes were about $90,000 in 2010 but they have dropped into the $80,000 range after Realtors expressed concern with the price being too high.
Grinton said when he first started talking to Realtors about these homes, they said many people didn't want to move to Crosland Park because it's considered unsafe. Grinton told them about the impact of Public Safety's Safe Communities program on the Northside.
"In the past year, the request for services from Public Safety has gone down (in these neighborhoods)," Grinton said. "They (the Realtors) actually got excited and feel there is potential in Crosland Park."
The original goal for Crosland Park was to fix up 100 to 150 out of the 550 houses in that neighborhood. Councilman Dick Dewar said he wondered if the goal of renovating a few homes was enough activity to make a strong enough impact on Crosland Park but after hearing the presentation on Friday, said he's feeling more optimistic and willing to give it a chance.
Another neighborhood that has been a point of focus is Toole Hill, and it's considered a success story to the City – a total of 31 homes has been built through the initiative.
"We renewed a neighborhood that needed it and we want to continue because we've got a good thing going on over there," said Morris. "The community has lifted itself up. It's a very exciting project there."
Aiken Mayor Fred Cavanaugh said that Toole Hill was once one of the worst crime areas in the City and it's now something the residents are proud of.
"Had we not done anything then, where would it be now?" Cavanaugh asked. "It was definitely the right thing to do."
The plan now is to refurbish some of the homes in the Toole Hill neighborhood.
In Edgewood, three homes have been constructed and 11 additional lots have been cleared.
Councilman Reggie Ebner suggested that, as they continue the Northside project, they should look at how the plan has changed since 2009. He mentioned that the ideas for how the homes would be renovated and priced as well as the market itself has transformed over the last few years.
Other plans for the Northside Initiative include Eustis Park development, the construction of a senior and youth center on that side of town and other infrastructure projects.
Grinton said funds from the EPA Climate Showcase Communities Grant and the Community Development Block Grant are a few sources of money to go toward the Northside Initiative. Several projects within the initiative are also listed under the Sales Tax Capital Program.
The road projects were also discussed. Design work for the Whiskey Road and Powderhouse Road connector is projected to begin in 2015 with right-of-way acquisition and construction to tentatively start in 2016.
A project to connect Neilson Road to the Walmart parking lot has also been proposed to help alleviate Whiskey Road traffic. That project is under consideration by Walmart at this time.
Horizons will continue at 8:30 a.m. today at the Rye Patch located at 100 Berrie Road.
The meeting is open to the public.

Thursday, June 13, 2013
A grand larceny occurred between May 7 and May 27 (but was reported June 5) on West Woodlawn Avenue, involving $2,515 in jewelry being stolen. Taken were a diamond necklace, an emerald necklace, a garnet ring and 25 silver dollars.
A larceny occurred June 3 on Knox Avenue. Stolen from an unattended grocery cart was a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 cellphone at a store on Knox Avenue. The owner accidentally left it behind and returned to find it gone.
A North Augusta teenager was arrested and jailed June 5 on charges of second-degree burglary and possession of a controlled substance, after an early-morning break-in at Paul Knox Middle School, involving $500 in computer equipment being stolen. An officer arriving saw a man walking away from the school, told him repeatedly to stop and eventually lost track of him, but footprints and blood evidence led to a residence on Wells Road, where the suspect was taken into custody and found to possess "a brown and green leafy substance consistent with marijuana."
A burglary occurred on Winburn Street June 3. Stolen were a $600 Samsung-brand TV set and a $50 "statue of an unknown football player still in the box."
A man from Augusta was arrested and jailed May 31 on charges of shoplifting and failure to stop for blue lights, after an incident at a variety store on Knox Avenue. Taken (and recovered) was a TV set valued at $956, with the incident involving the use of "stop sticks" against the getaway car, after it was pursued into Augusta. The suspect ran away and was caught in the Fifth Street area.
A May 28 incident of malicious injury to personal property and theft from a motor vehicle occurred on Georgia Avenue, with $635 in items being stolen and $300 in damage being inflicted to an Augusta woman's car while she and her husband were running on the Greeneway. Stolen was a Michael Kors-brand pocketbook, which contained a Vera Bradley wallet and other items.
An incident of suspicious activity was reported on Dunbarton Drive May 31. A man reported having received a computer message allegedly from the U.S. Department of Justice, informing him that "the computer that he owned had been tapped by the federal government, and that if he wanted to release the hold from his computer to get back on the internet, he needed to send $300 to them." Officers determined it was a scam.

A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established. How-to : Planting Perennials Determine appropriate perennials for your garden by considering sun and shade through the day, exposure, water requirements, climate, soil makeup, seasonal color desired, and position of other garden plants and trees.
The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil is workable and out of danger of frost. Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring is more desirable for perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter. Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more established sized plant.
To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and space between. Water the plant thoroughly and let the excess water drain before carefully removing from the container. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant is extremely root bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and water thoroughly, protecting from direct sun until stable.
To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Prepare suitable planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. Water well and protect from direct sun until stable.
To plant seedlings: A number of perennials produce self-sown seedlings that can be transplanted. You may also start your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and water well. Shade from direct sun and water regularly until stable.
Prevention and Control: Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil level. For fungal leaf spots, use a recommended fungicide according to label directions.
Pest : Slugs and Snails Begin looking for slugs and snails so that you may set traps.
