Subpixel processing and a pair of 4K sets promise to up the graphical ante of the Aquos line
Corp. (
) showed off a variety of TV sets this morning at a press event at the
2013 Consumer Electronics Show
at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Central themes were big,
high resolution
, and smarter televisions.
I. 3D, Smart TVs are Here to Stay, Says Sharp
The Japanese set-maker continues to forge ahead with its own proprietary smart TV technology dubbed "SmartCentral". Its refresh of its Aquos line includes 21 new sets distributed among the 6-Series (low-end), 7-Series (mid-range), and 8-Series (high-end). Each set features a dual-core ARM architecture processor. The sets range from 60+ inches to 80+ inches.
The latest version of SmartCentral adds the ability to use your Android or iOS device as a remote control. It also features SmartBeam, which allows you to push files from your mobile device onto your LCD set. A Flash- and HTML5-capable web browser will also be built into the sets.
Taking a page from Apple, Inc.'s (
) playbook, Sharp's luxury 7- and 8-Series models feature diamond-cut silver brushed-aluminum finishes.

All of the TVs have built in Wi-Fi and 1080p "Active" 3D compatibility. The new twist on 3D is improved filtering on the Bluetooth link; customers can now use the Bluetooth powered glasses without fear of interference from other Bluetooth signals (previously customers were advised to turn off other Bluetooth-communications in the area when watching 3D content).
Also included in the lineup is Sharp's proprietary sub-pixel processing, which the company claims offers double the detail per pixel as rival RGBY/RGB LCD designs.
The lineup answers two of the big questions of
few years'
shows -- will 3D and smart-TVs flare out? While neither technology has wowed in terms of adoption or customer enthusiasm, the solution Sharp and other manufacturers appear to be pursuing is to simply overhaul the entire lineup to feature some level of these technologies.
II. Going Big
Sharp was also eager to plug its 90-inch LED set, which it brags is the biggest available LED-illuminated LCD TV on the market. Launched in June 2012, this will continue to be a crown jewel in the company's lineup, getting a minor refresh with improved SmartCentral technology.
But 1080 is not the final destination for Sharp. The company will be launching a pair of 4K (3,840 × 2,160 pixel) sets this year. Sharp dubs these models "ultra-HD" (UHD) sets, pointing out that they quadruple the pixel count of 1080p.

The first, the ICC Purios, will hit this summer. Named after Sharp's processor partner -- the I-cubed Research Center Inc. (ICC) -- the ICC Purious will pack ICC's (integrated cognitive creation) image processor, which supposedly mimics the way a human brain deals with images. The 60-inch set is the first 4K model to receive THX certification, according to Sharp.

Sharp will push out a second set -- an Aquos-branded UHD set -- sometime in the second half of the year. That set will feature an upscaler, which will try to convert standard 1080p content to 4K (similar to how the Sony Corp. (
) PS3 upscales DVD content to 1080p).
The latter set will also feature "Moth Eye" a nano-scale conical coating, which mimics moth eyes. Apparently moths have evolved the ability to minimize glare off their eye lenses to avoid predation. Inspired by nature, Sharp applied a similar design to eliminate glare on the set.
In case that wasn't enough, Sharp showed off an 85-inch 8K LED-lit LCD TV prototype (7680 x 4320 pixel). The ultra-ultra HD (so to speak) set won't be available this year, but Sharp calls it a "glimpse of the future of high definition".

On Board Air Build
Since the work on the 2a has slowed a bit and it's in the shop getting some drivetrain work done, I have finally got around to installing the York based On Board Air system into my YJ. it's currently about 90% done while I wait for my tank, pressure switch and pipe to inverted flare fittings.
A big part of this was my budget. I didn't have oodles of cash to spend on this and it had to be in the range of $200. I have listed the items I used (part #'s where applicable) so if someone else was looking to do this inexpensively they could. my mounting is on a 350 sbc with a V-belt setup. Your drive may be different but the rest can still be applied.
all of the brackets were fabricated from leftover bits in the scrap bin.
Item List:
- York 210 compressor from the bone yard removed from an amc $20
- 2 4-port manifolds from HF $10.00
- 3' section of 3/8" hose $4.00
- 1/4"NPT fittings $12.00
- 2 1/4-20 x 1.75" socket cap screws $.66
- oil/water separator $5.00
- Intake filter with replaceable element (Grainger pt#4FY30) $9.69
- 2 125psi Safety Valves (Grainger pt#5A708) $13.92
- 1 check valve (Grainger pt#6D917) $9.32
- Misc Brass fittings $15.00
- Small Pressure Guages $16.00
- 1.5 gallon 6 port tank (Safe Vehicle Products) $32.00
- 120psi pressure swich (Safe Vehicle Products) $18.00
- Safety Toggle switch (20amp) and indicator light $13.00
- 2 1/4npt to 1/8npt brass bushings $4
- 2 1/4npt to 3/8 inverted flare fittings $5.00
- 1/4npt drain fitting $2.00
- 25' 3/8 steel tubing with fittings $47.00
Total so far $236.59
My York came with 45 degree flare fittings on top like you would find in any common hardware plumbing section. A trip to my buddies shop netted me a flare to 3/8" hose barb for free. for the intake we measured the inner diameter of the fitting and found it was the perfect size to simply run a 1/4NPT tap down it.
to get the compressor mounted, I chose to mount it next to the alternator since my lower spacer had a flat extension and fold down tab with a hole already on it making it a no brainer.
I had a bunch of over cut 1/2" angle pieces left over from the front bumper build. I put it on the spacer and marked the hole on the fold tab, then drilled and tapped the angle to 5/16-18 for a socket cap.
Then I removed the compressor, measured the center to center of the bottom mounting holes and made a cardboard template to mark the angle mount. I put the compressor in to align the belts ( I used the front empty groove on my water pump pulley and the front pulley of the York, which is great because it now uses the same short belt as my power steering and I had a bunch of those belts lying around) then I drilled 2 3/8" holes into the angle bracket.
then I mounted the bracket and marked the spacer where it needed to be drilled.
I removed the bracket and the spacer and bolted it all together on the bench and installed it.
I needed to make an upper bracket to stabilize it so I made a bracket that attached to one of the compressor side holes and attached to the upper alternator bracket. I used a small piece of 1/8" x 3/4" bar I had, rounded one end and polished it up.
I used the two 4 port manifolds and connected them to make 1 6 port manifold, added the elbows i needed and a gauge at the manifold.
Next I made a block to hold the manifold so out of some more bits of 1/2" scrap I made a base and a clamp to fit between the two manifold sections. I drilled 1/4" holes through the clap portion and tapped the base for 1/4-20 threads. I assembled it with the 2 1/4-20x2" bolts. I also made a 1/4" hole in the base to mount to an existing 1/4-20 threaded hole from the oem jack.
I used the 1/4NPT fittings to make the intake of the oil/water separator to the top. with a quick connect for the compressor input.
then out of some scrap angle and flat stock I made a fender mount bracket to hold the separator with a stainless hose clamp.
I installed the output hose onto the barb and installed the separator.
then I installed the check valve into the manifold with hose barb and put the manifold safety relief (125psi) in the manifold as well. (I am running 2 safety valves, one at the manifold and one at the tank). Installed the manifold block and the hose from the separator.
Then installed the intake filter/silencer on the intake
my tank and pressure switch should be here wednesday.
I plan to plumb from the manifold to the tank with 3/8" brake line with the tank mounting behind the rear seat on the passenger wheel well so I will update when I get more done.

i have a york with a 5 gallon tank on my jeep,it works awesome, i can run an impact with mine (short bursts)and air up tires (44 in super swampers ) in no time flat. you will love once its finished

where did you mount your 5 gal tank? I wanted to go a little bigger but room seemed to be an issue for me.

Updated expenses in first post.
got a bunch of work done on this today. My tank and pressure switch came last week so I got the tank prepped with fittings, safety valve, plugs and a drain.
then installed the inverted flare fitting to the manifold output.
Installed the pressure switch (90 on, 120 off)
I was originally going to use a toggle switch I had laying around, but to be honest it wasn't very high quality and although it was new felt like the lever would snap off. plus I wanted a light to let me know when the compressor was running and when it shut off so i got a new switch and indicator light.
then I dug through my wire box and matched the wire gauge to that of the clutch and got that attached to the pressure switch.
routed the wire to the loom and ran it into the cab
I ran the power lead to a 12v switched ignition with a 20a fuse on it.
The light is powered on the same terminal as the switch and grounded to the dash. had to drill 2 1/2" holes to mount the switch and light in the dash
Tested the function of it, compressor on, light on
Everything back together.
Next I will fab a mount for the tank and plumb the line.

Tonight I got the tank mounts fabricated and mounted.
here is where I chose to mount the tank on the passenger wheel well behind the rear seat. This worked out well for me because since I no longer use the factory tailgate stop I had my choice of 3 threaded holes to use making everything pretty easy.
I needed 2 5/16-18 bolts but didn't have any but the scrap bin netted me 2 lengths of thread rod of the same dimension so I made my own with nuts and the welder.
Then for the lower mounts I cut 2 pieces of 1" flat scrap that already had 5/16 holes in them. after measuring tank placement I marked and drilled the stock to tap the holes for 5/16-18. I then cut 2 more 7/8" lengths of the thread rod and threaded each into a tapped hole in the lower mount, welded the rod to the flat and ground it down. now I had studs that would work with the brackets on the tank.
these are the lower mounts installed
for the upper tank mount I chose to use the upper tailgate hinge brace.
I cut and modified a piece of 1/8" angle I had to work with this.

Well I got this all wrapped up this week. I got the 3/8" steel tubing to plumb to the tank. I ran a small bend section from the tank and then a long section from the manifold back to the small section and used a union to connect them.
1. If I did it again I would not use the steel line (or maybe a smaller diameter). that 3/8" was a freaking pain to work with and bend with my plier style tubing bender. although it fit great into the mandrel, getting a collapse free bend was damn near impossible and detracts from the looks of it.
2. my orginal manifold design idea was crap. it was small and concise, but when I got everything connected and pressurized the system (I used the garage compressor to pressurize it to help located leaks without the running vehicle ambient noise) there were too many leaks that I could not get rid of. I ditched that for a straight 7 port manifold. it is still clean, but much simpler and worked on the first pressurized test.
I am very pleased with the way this came out. it fills the 1.5 gallon tank super quick and it aired my 35 from 20psi to 35 psi in no time flat and used the impact to crack the lugnuts off. I do have a fitting to run a gauge and make the tank connect horizontal but haven't decided if I will use it yet.
also I picked this up at the scrap yard last week for free as a jumper tank if I need more capacity
new manifold setup
I ran the line under the body and up in the rear passenger wheel well and secured it with line clamps

I'm working on a vocabulary learning game with two friends and need some advice. Apologies for the long post!
We're looking at how best to organise our words for learners and the research is pretty clear that learning vocabulary in semantic sets makes it harder for learners to learn words as similar words interfere with each other. Paul Nation, for example, advises in his recent book for ESL teachers( http://bit.ly/XEnHNs) that we not teach words of related meaning together e.g. numbers, months, opposites, names of fruit, parts of the body and things in the kitchen (although this is how most traditional textbooks go about things!)
The research seems to show that memorisation is more effective when you learn groups of unrelated words and most effective when words are grouped by "theme" or "frames" based on associative strength. e.g. http://bit.ly/11CIbqU
I had steeled myself to start grouping 3000+ words (e.g. "Kitchen" might include cut, knife, taste, sweet, sharp, smell, mix, spot, match, side, use, pot, open) into themes when I reread Paul Nation's article: Learning Vocabulary in Lexical Sets: Dangers and Guidelines http://bit.ly/Z0rfMB
In this, he has a table (p.7) which shows the interference effect of grouping words in different ways and just after listing "near synonyms" as most interfering he lists "free associates" and gives the example of bed and sleep and also lists "coordinates" as having the most helpful effect for learners and gives the example of apple and pear.
I am confused by this as I would have thought associates corresponded to words in themes and were therefore helpful and coordinates to semantic sets and were therefore unhelpful. It also seems to contradict the advice in other research.
Can anyone cast any light on this? I've been 10 years out of the English teaching game and working in other areas of digital learning so I'm sure it's my rusty EFL / ESL brain misunderstanding something

An accident in a nuclear reactor in the south of France went unreported in the European press even though the incident raised questions concerning the safety of nuclear energy plants such as the ones France has promised to construct in Libya. The incident occurred the first week in July just as Nicolas Sarkozy assumed the role of president of the European Union. The plant malfunction led to 30,000 litres of a solution containing 12% enriched uranium to overflow from a reservoir into the nearby Gaffiere and Lauzon rivers. Evangelia Petit, admitted the concentration of uranium in the two rivers was now 1,000 times higher than normal but she downplayed the consequences of the accident insisting the risk posed to humans was "slight."
However, local authorities apparently did not accept her verdict that things were not that bad because there was uranium in the rivers. Inhabitants of nearby towns and villages have been banned from fishing, swimming, drawing well water or using water from the polluted rivers for irrigation purposes. The area is noted for its grapes which are used in making several brands of wines.
The Green Party blog of Malta expressed concern that France was going to construct nuclear energy plants in nearby Libya. There is fear an accident in a nuclear plant to be built on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea might result in extensive pollution to a water body which is essential to the lives of millions.
There is no question great improvements have been made in safety of nuclear plants, but the world has yet to reach a point in which the presence of nuclear plants doesn't also cause a risk to local populations.

COLORS:Due to the difference of monitor colors, some rug colors may vary slightly.
How to take care Arcylic Wool Rug
1. Placing the rug in a light-traffic area doesn't really stop it from shedding, although it will receive less wear and tear, so protecting the fibers while using it helps it shed normally.
2.Rake, brush or groom your rug weekly, or more often if needed. Use a special rake available at specialty carpet outlets. A clean broom or a pet brush may also work, but avoid any product that is harsh on the fibers, such as wire-bristled brushes.
3.Trim tufts of wool that emerge above the carpet surface with a sharp pair of scissors. Wool carpets naturally experience this effect -- don't panic -- but cutting them even with the surrounding carpet will discourage the fuzzy appearance they cause. Don't pull the fibers as you work to avoid more shedding. Wipe your hand over the surface to collect loose fibers and balls.
4.Vacuum your wool rug at least once or twice a week, especially in the first few months (there will be lot of remaining wool due to factory manufacturing). Use a vacuum with gentle suction and work with the pile, not against it. Avoid heavy-duty vacuums or those with beater bars or brush bars, which damage the wool construction.
5.Rotate your carpet every few months to ensure even wear, which prevents needless shedding.

I thought I might attempt to take my own photos of jewelry (no diamonds or coloured gemstones, just silver and glass beads) for my online store. Call me crazy, but I am trying to learn how to do this on my own so I don't have to pay big bucks to a professional. I am going to buy a light tent. Tabletop has a jewelry photography package for $289.00 - it includes:
12" light tent
20" light tent
White & Black Acrylic Platforms (for reflection shots)
Short Tabletop Light Set with 10" reflectors
TabletopStudio Sparkler Light with 5" reflector
Three 5000K daylight color High CRI CFL Bulbs
Small container of prop wax
Anti static brush
How to DVD
Is this worth it? I would also have to get a macro lens and Photoshop software.
Second question: for those photoshop users, do you think it will be possible to edit my own photos using photoshop if I've never used the software before (i.e., how long is the learning curve?) Any suggestions as to training manuals?
Please Help!

Yes you can do it. Not sure why you would need 2 tents. I suggest a gray card and shooting raw (or setting the manual white balance). Photoshop will easily handle what you want, but keep in mind, most browsers are not color managed (and most people do not have color calibrated monitors).

Taking your own photos is always worth it. Aside from saving money, you get to develop your photography skills. Learning Photoshop is easy, simply refer to various video tutorials available online.
Posted 15 May 2012 - 08:13 AM
I think it is a great idea to improve your photography skills and to save money too. Its vague to give lots of money to other photographer for shooting of your jewelery. If you have basic knowledge of photography, you can do it on your own. If you are not able to take good pictures take help of some online editors to edit your images.

LANCASTER, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities in southeast Ohio are questioning a student after an alleged "hit list" was reportedly found in a school.
Fairfield County Sheriff Dave Phalen said Thursday the list was left in an office at Lancaster High School where student suspensions are served.
Phalen says he doesn't believe there was an actual threat but says the student was trying to stir up trouble.
WBNS-TV in Columbus reported Thursday (http://bit.ly/XQDndi ) the unidentified student was charged with inducing panic.
Lancaster Superintendent Steve Wigton tells the station that extra security was scheduled for the school on Friday.

Bruce: "[I]t's hysterical" that she's "getting emails of people upset of me calling the Obamas trash"
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Loading the player reg...
From the March 24 broadcast of Talk Radio Network's The Laura Ingraham Show:
BRUCE: There's no other way to look at a side of politics that for eight years gave aid and comfort to the enemy by attacking the president. Democrat politicians and pundits, liberal pundits, hoping the war would fail, simply because they hated George W. Bush so much, calling him a liar, making a film or two about his assassination, attacking his wife and his daughters repeatedly, and now demanding decorum in how things are discussed.
Eight years calling him a monkey, a chimp, an idiot, a liar, a mass murderer, a war criminal, and I'm getting emails of people upset of me calling the Obamas trash. Talk about thin skins. Oh my goodness, it's hysterical. It really moves into the funny. My name is Tammy Bruce, filling in for Laura Ingraham. We'll be right back.
Bruce also addressed her comments about the Obamas on her website, TammyBruce.com:
My webmaster informs me that after 8 years of attacking President Bush, calling him all sorts of horrific names, suggesting he be assassinated, making a film of him being assassinated, attacking his wife and his daughters, the Left these days has a veeeeery thin skin. Outraged, outraged they are that I noted on today's Laura Ingraham show that I consider the Obamas trash. Considering the nature of what they're doing to this country, that's a mild word to describe my opinion.
As Pat S. notes, Obama is also starting to get serious criticism now from all sides. After just 8 weeks, and an imploding admin, it's not surprising for the left to be desperate for distractions onto which to fling their Pseudo-Outrage about their Pseudo-Sophisticate President. Obama obviously does not know how to govern and the stakes are higher than winning an election--it's about whether or not this nation survives or goes bankrupt as B. Hussein Urkel pushes his Social Engineering scheme at the expense of everyone's future.
Here, though, are a few choice emails my webmaster thought should be included in the Email of the Day category, just so you can see what happens when Thin Skin combines with Empty Heads, or perhaps when one strikes a chord. And for anyone who thinks, somehow, liberals have the moral high ground on any issue, think again--these emails will remind you the importance of what we fight against and the extraordinary depravity and hypocrisy of those who call themselves "liberals" these days

Wollman Rink
Wollman Rink is a 33,000-square-foot rink located in the southeast corner of the park at 63rd street. The facility opened in 1950 and is was named by philanthropist Kate Wollman, who donated funds for its construction in memory of her parents and siblings.
The rink fell into disrepair during the city's financial crisis in the 1970s until Donald Trump leased the rink in 1987, restoring it to full operation and plastering his name on the Zamboni. Say what you will about him, but he gets stuff done.
The Rink is converted into a small amusement park in the Summer.

Can someone please make sense of this diagram?
I would like to use this circuit diagram for an immobiliser. The only problem is my electronic skills are sfa and I cannot make sense of the relay wiring.
Can anyone please help here by telling me which terminal is which on the DPDT relay and which is which on the normal relay. The DPDT relay I have has two NO and two NC terminals and two others for Coil, and the std relay has the typical 30 87 etc terminals. Trouble is I do not know which one is which in the wiring diagram.
THanks for any help.http://www.theclassicalguitar.com/Im...mobiliser2.jpg
this diagram
12 volt power to DPDT relay coil to magnet reed switch to ground. One NO contact; coil ground to NC push-button to ground. One NO contact; 12 v power to HD relay to ground. One NC 12 V power to LED to ground.
Using a magnet to close the reed switch energizes the DPDT relay, energizing the HD relay opening the circuit you want to control, it also switches the LED off. The circuit through the push button keeps the relay 'pulled in'. Push the button opens the circuit holding the relay allowing it to 'drop out' this lights the LED and allows the HD relay to de-energize and close the circuit you are controlling.
I will try...the coil connections are the 12v supply going into the top and the wire through the reed switch. The wire from the DPDT relay to the std relay and the wire to earth are also the coil connections for the std relay. You will need to read out the connections to see which is input or output with pwr applied to coil. You should have pwr to flashing led with no earth ground applied to coil, and pwr removed when coil grounded. With coil grounded pwr is sent to std relay to energize it and close circuit. Normally closed push button is for locking/unlocking of DPDT relay. Sooo inputs are 12v and jumper from reed switch wire. Outputs are normally closed switch to ground and input to std relay with relay energized and to flashing led with relay deenergized. Would be easier if I could remember what NO and NC stood for :spank:
NO is Normally Open
NC is Normally Closed
In a DPDT (Double Pole - Double Throw) switch or relay
double pole means two relay circuits, double throw means each relay circuit switches between two contacts, one contact is closed(NC) and the other is open(NO) when the relay is de-energized. Energize the relay and the closed contact will open and the open contact will close.
Doc here, :pimp:
First of all...
That is a REALLY crappy diagram..
The schematic Symbols for relays, Etc..are not even correct...hooking it up without a continuity check will be a crapshoot..
What are you trying to do?
I probably can give you a much better circuit.
Doc :pimp:
Hi Doc,
This is an immobilizer that operates as follows.
- Turn it on by pressing the switch (momentary on button). The DPDT is then supposed to stay activated and disengage the std relay and at the same time powering the led, which flashes.
- To turn it off you hold a magnet infront of the reed switch (hidden behind dash somwhere) and the power returns to the std relay and completes the circuit that has been immobilised. The led is also turned off.
The std relay is no drama, I just could not make sense of the crappy diagram, mainly for the terminals for the DPDT relay.
This is the link for the whole caboodle http://autospeed.drive.com.au/A_107975/cms/article.html
The idea is that even if someone steals your keys, they cannot bypass the kill switch, except by using tow truck. :nono:
Doc here, :pimp:
Immobilizer , Keys or not..
Any thief can simply jump battery power to the BATT terminal on your car (Or in most cases, jump a wire between the IGN and BATT terminals at the fuse box) and a jumper at the "S" and "I" terminals..and he's off and running! takes 30 seconds for two to do.
I can give you a relay operated system with several options that is easier that that one if you like..BUT remember: Nothing is foolproof..whatever the mind of man can conceive, the mind of man can defeat..
Doc :pimp:
Hi Doc,
I am interested in your diagram if you can post it or send it to me. All I am after is some form of protection for the car. I know pro thieves do not have problems, but there are more idiots around that like pinching cars and even simple protection is a good start - sometimes.
Nothing stops a flat bed truck.
Doc here, :pimp:
Here is a basic diagram for a defeat system..
The wire from the relay coil should actually go to the exsisting Ignition wire strike the wire from the battery to the 1 amp fuse..it goes to the Coil + wire that powers the ignition coil now..Sorry...my bad..crummy schematic software..BUT the rest remains the same..
The relay is a standard Bosch relay, you can get at ANY autoparts store for $4 fazools..the numbers on the wires in the schematic conform to the bottom of the standard bosch relay.
The Fuse is 1 amp , for the relay coil only.
The fuse link is 50 amp (can be a maxi fuse, and inline holder if desired) , it supports the draw of the coil. The 10 gauge wire is an upgrade..It will allow more current to the coil and the ignition should run better..
The Hidden switch may be as creative as you want..I usually install one of these headphone type jacks (Female side) around the CD player in the dash (so it looks like it belongs there..) The Plug (Male side) is soldered together (ring to tip) under the sleeve which unscrews, so that it completes the circuit when it is plugged in to the dash JACK..
When The PLUG is pulled out, the relay De~energizes, and the contacts open, cutting power to the coil..Ergo, the engine won't run..just take it with you when you leave the vehicle...You can chose any of these Styles from your local rat shak or fry's..JUST be sure the headphone JACK is isolated off ground , the grounded type will short.
You can use any other combination of hidden switches you want also, hiding them in "Creative " spots..like inside the gas flap, In the glove box or console (first place a crook looks..) under the dash..BEHIND the rear view mirror, Get as creative as you want..
If you want to be more slick, you can get a Mercury type switch,
Mount it on your sun visor, so that when you adjust it all the way up..it is off.."No Start", adjust it so with a little downward adjustment (not enough to mess with your field of vision) It is "ON " and runs..you have to be careful with this though..bumps can be a bad thing if adjusted too close.
IF you have a CD RADIO Player..you can substitute the switch , and don't use the wire behind it coming from the Ignition "ON" , and isolate the "Power Antenna " wire off the back of the player (usually the blue wire)
In this configuration, the key MUST be on..(to turn the radio on) AND the radio must be on (so that there is power to the antenna) This has drawbacks..
the player must be on at all times while driving and you must use "mute" if you don't want to hear it..When you leave the car..take the detachable face plate with you and the car can not be started..Again..you can get as creative as you want..
You need two parameters in order for this to operate..you need the "jumper plug " installed AND you must have the Key ON , in order to get power to the coil..with only one element, or the other, you can crank until the battery goes dead, it won't start.
IF you REALLY want to get creative..run a 10 gauge wire from the 87a terminal, to the horn..If a crook tries to "jump" power to the + side of the coil..the horn goes off and stays on until the jumper is removed..(scares the humus right outta them..)
All those switch/location options are open to you..just pick one , or go with the basic drawing above..all are effective as a first line of defense.
many other options exist also.
Doc :pimp:

Deep Sequencing Core Facility
The Pacific BioSciences RS Instrument is here and running samples !
The Website for the new PacBio Enterprise is under construction ...
We have 3 drop off locations and we are available by appointment.
Drop off sites are Biotech2 Suite 207 hallway, LRB 6th floor mailroom, and ASC8-2058 mailroom, the daily pick up is after 11:00 am each business day.
We can meet you by appointment if you need to visit with us.
Thank you, The DSCL Staff email@example.com
Please use the newest Sample Ticket (Dec 2013b) for all DeepSeq samples, including HiSeq & MiSeq. Submitting a sample and a ticket begins a workflow for your sample and reserves a place in the queue. By submitting a sample and ticket, you are engaging time and services. If you want only the QC analysis for your own information and do not want to move forward, please use the MBCL Bioanalyzer and QC services (e.g. Topo Cloning, Gel Purification and Library Construction). We reserve the option of holding back a sample which fails QC and contacting you to discuss options. However, please note that a sample submitted for sequencing is entered in the workflow and queue. For those preparing their own libraries, samples should be in ultra pure water or EB. The use of a carrier agent during the final stages of work up is discouraged as these can interfere with cluster formation and reduce the number of sequences produced during "deep sequencing". For a pricing list or other HiSeq questions, please email us.
The UMass MBCL is now building genomic DNA libraries for HiSeq analysis.
Please email us to inquire about scheduling, etc.!
We are now operating an Illumina MiSeq instrument. This platform supports dual indexes and will perform paired reads up to 300 bases.
Please email us for more information.
Illumina Library Building Notes click here
If you'd like details on specific services or a quote for services, please click here.
There is an updated list of sequences for Illumina library construction. If you are UMass investigator and wish to obtain a copy, please send an email to email@example.com and request "the new oligo list".
For a letter of support for your grant, click here
"How Long is THE QUEUE" FAQ is here
A list of frequently asked questions and some answers are here
Puzzled about Multiplexing and Barcoding? Click Here.
NOTE: It is VERY IMPORTANT that we receive the correct information about the primers and adapters used to build your library! Not all library types will run on the HiSeq instruments or can be read in both directions. If you are using the Illumina internal barcodes in the TruSeq adapaters, you must add a multiplex read step to detect your barcodes. There is more information in the FAQ. On a related note, if you are doing a custom design to include adapters, your own index scheme, or custom sequencing primers, you must submit the results of your Topo cloning validation before we can run your samples. These sequences must span the P5 and P7 attachment sequences on either end of the library construct. If you do not agree to submit the sequence for verification, then you will be run with only the primers you request and at your own risk.
IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR RUN OR QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR DATA, please let us know as soon as possible. The run metrics and machine files cannot be held for long since they are large, the sooner we know there is a problem, the more likely we'll be able to help easily. Also, please note that in order to help sort out a problem we may ask alot of questions and details about your sample and your analysis methods. This information is required inorder for us to engage the tech support systems provided by our vendors. Please note that if the control lane on the run failed in any way, the entire flow cell is rerun. If your data is delivered to you, then the controls all passed spec. which means that the instrument functioned properly and the reagents and chemistry worked. That leaves us with investigating other issues including sample design, base balance, sizing, indexing, degraded DNA, as well as computational and analysis issues with the pipeline, etc. We'll do whatever we can to get things working, but the more information we have, the better. We are working on a trouble-shooting guide for libraries, it is under construction and is starting to come together here.
We are building a new resources section. If you have a protocol or publication that you found useful, please share. If you have a request for something you think would be beneficial, please let us know, email us at email@example.com
If you would like to consult with an applications specialist, please email us to get on the schedule.

Posted by Sarah Rotman Epps on July 29, 2011
There's a lot of attention being paid to tablets cannibalizing PCs. As we've said in the past, we think PC cannibalization from tablets is overstated. But the cannibalization phenomenon is real: We wrote in a June report (The Products That Lose When Tablets Win) that we expect tablet cannibalization to accelerate in the next six to 12 months as slightly less affluent consumers buy tablets and have to make tough tradeoffs. Several predictions we made in the report are already coming true. We made the call that:
"Portable game player sales will go off a cliff. Portable game players (PGPs) like the Nintendo DS already have huge penetration, so there's a natural saturation point that PGPs are reaching anyway. That saturation combined with cannibalization from tablets and smartphones, which fulfill the same casual, on-the-go gaming scenarios but also multitask with email and other applications, spells trouble for PGPs. The Nintendo 3DS is already reporting weaker-than-expected sales, and we expect this trend to continue."
Much to Nintendo's chagrin, this prediction is proving accurate, as Nintendo reported that its 3DS sales plummeted to 710,000 units this past quarter from 3.6 million units the quarter before.
In the June report, we also wrote that game console sales would not be negatively affected by tablets and could actually see a boost from increased interest in gaming as mainstream consumers find joy in games like Words With Friends and Angry Birds.


text: Just painful play down the stretch of this OT. With a 5-point lead, Chauncey commits a silly blocking foul 30 feet from the basket to give Mike James 2 freebies when the Twolves are having a difficult time scoring. Next, CWebb wiffs on a pick for Rip (lazily, I might add), then takes a pass and fires up an elbow jumper (which he missed)...he had been working well to get guys makeable shots, so I didn't like that shot by CWebb. Then, after Foye hits a three to tie the game, CB takes a quick jumper instead of working through the offense. And now, Mike James just hit a ridiculous three to give the Twolves a three-point lead against great defense by Rip and Sheed on a pick and roll. This would definitely be snatching defeat from the jaws of victory tonight, especially with KG not playing after getting ejected.

Hannity's claim of veterans' support for Bush not the whole story
Research ››› ››› JEREMY CLUCHEY
On the August 6 edition of FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity concluded an argument with guest and Democratic strategist Steve Murphy about Swift Boat Veterans for Truth -- a group currently running an ad attacking Senator John Kerry's service in Vietnam -- by claiming that "Veterans are voting for Bush 58 to 35," apparently referring to a Rasmussen poll conducted August 3 and August 4. What Hannity failed to mention is that other recent polling shows Kerry running equal to Bush among veterans.
"For the first time this year, the Democrats run even with their opponents among veterans," CBS News reported of one finding in its most recent poll on August 2. In the poll, conducted July 30-August 1, Kerry garnered 47 percent of veterans' support to Bush's 48 percent, a statistical tie (margin of error: three points). This represents a major increase in support for Kerry among veterans. In a June CBS News poll, Bush was leading Kerry among veterans by 14 points (54 percent for Bush; 40 percent for Kerry); in a CBS News poll taken in mid-July, a week before the Democratic National Convention, that gap had narrowed to six points (47 percent for Bush; 41 percent for Kerry).

Black Bean Salsa Chicken RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
I like to serve the grilled chicken and salsa with a long grain and wild rice mix on the side. Use a kitchen shears to easily mince the cilantro.
Recommended: 51 Cozy Slow Cooker Soups
- 1 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 5 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 mango, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon chopped jalapeno pepper
- Sour cream and lime wedges, optional
- In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; mix well. Pour 2/3 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add the chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
- For salsa, in a bowl, combine the beans, mango, cilantro, lime juice, oil, brown sugar and jalapeno. Cover and refrigerate.
- Drain and discard marinade from chicken. Grill, covered, over medium heat 7-8 minutes on each side or until juices run clear, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Serve with salsa. Garnish with sour cream and lime if desired. Yield: 5 servings.
Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Bobcat Fact Sheet
The bobcat (Lynx rufus) is a native mammal in Georgia and a member of the Felidae family. It may be classified as Felis rufus in some texts. Bobcats are about twice the size of the common house cat. Bobcats are generally yellowish brown with various streaks or spots of dark brown or black. The under parts are usually white with black spots and black bars on the insides of the legs. Females and males are colored the same, but males are generally larger. Males range from 12 - 40+ lbs. with an average of 18-28 lbs., while females range from 9 - 34 lbs. and average 14 - 20 lbs. The tail is short and gives the appearance of being "bobbed."
The bobcat is the most widely distributed native felid in North America and is found statewide in Georgia. It can occupy a wide variety of habitats due to its wide prey base. Typical bobcat habitat in Georgia is mixed forest and agricultural areas that have a high percentage of early successional stages. Home range size depends on the sex of the bobcat and the quality of the habitat. Males generally have a much larger home range size than females with some males having a home range size of over 10 square miles. Females home range size may be less than one square mile. Home ranges of both sexes of bobcats may overlap.
The bobcat is a carnivore and an opportunistic predator. Common prey items include mice, rats, rabbits and various other small mammals. However, bobcats will also prey on reptiles, birds and feral cats. Bobcats can prey on animals as large as deer and will feed on hunter killed or road-killed deer.
The breeding season can begin as early as January and run through March. Most female and male bobcats do not breed until their second year. The average bobcat litter is 2 - 3 kittens following a 62-day gestation period. Dens may be located in caves, rock piles, hollow logs or trees, or under fallen trees. Den sites may be used several years in a row. Bobcat kittens weigh 10 -12 ounces at birth and may gain up to 0.4 ounces per day. Their eyes are closed at birth and remain closed for approximately 10 days.
Kitten survival is linked to food abundance with years of plentiful food resulting in better kitten survival and years of poor food availability resulting in heavy mortality on bobcat kittens. Weaning takes place at around 12 weeks of age and the kittens begin hunting with their mother at around 5 months of age. Males do not assist with the raising of young, and except for the breeding season, lead predominantly solitary lives. Juvenile bobcats leave their mother before she gives birth the following year. Some studies have shown the juveniles leaving the first fall after their birth while other studies indicate the juveniles leaving the following spring.
Mortality on bobcats can be caused directly by other animals, by competition with other animals for food, diseases and parasites, and by man. Coyotes, hawks, and owls may prey on bobcat kittens and coyotes may out compete bobcats (especially juveniles) in years with low prey abundance. Rabies, tularemia, feline panleukopenia, leptospirosis, and various other diseases and parasites may cause mortality in bobcats. Bobcats routinely reach 5-6 years of age and sometimes reach 12-13 years old in the wild. Captive bobcats have reached over 30 years of age.
Bobcats in Georgia are classified both as a game animal and a furbearer. This allows hunters and trappers to pursue the bobcat within regulated seasons. Hunting techniques for bobcat include the use of dogs and the use of manual predator calls. Trappers annually harvest between 1,200 and 1,800 bobcats while hunters harvest 3 -5 times that many. The economic value of bobcat pelts varies depending on demand, fur thickness, color, number and brightness of spots, pelt size, etc. In the period 2000-2006, bobcat hunters and trappers have received $25 - $70 per pelt, depending on pelt size, color, fur thickness, and spottiness.
Bobcats usually avoid areas of high human disturbance and development and only occasionally cause nuisance problems. They may occasionally prey on smaller livestock such as goats or chickens but overall are not a major nuisance problem.

""I don't know, are there 'any' examples that modern humans are even capable of that?""One very good one. Hunting.... The license and other fees have paid for extensive measures to keep the wild game alive and well. There are many more wild game animals today then in 1900 to 1920. I agree, much more needs to be done in other fields, but when you have extremists screaming from both ends, seldom is there progress in the middle.
I am not a hunter myself, but over the years I have noticed a huge drop in "successful" hunting. It seems that today most hunters only set foot in the woods on the first or second day of the season. They spend little or no time studying the movements of deer or are unaware of the habits of the animal they are hunting in the preseason. This gives way to a lot of people going to the woods and not seeing any wildlife. Is this an indicator of lack of wildlife, or an indication of the lack of hunting skills in the current generation? I know quite a few people that are very good at harvesting animals that the others claim are not there in the same section of forest.TBeek, is that Wild Turkey at camp or the bird of the same name? Or perhaps both? :)
Wasn't the hunt discussion part of the disconnect from nature? :)

Im not wanting to start WW3 here but at the first half of January 2009 i purchased a helmet from FETPROP.
Some time later i contacted him as he had not sent the lid to me and stated that he had some tech problems with his PC. Fair enough i said, however well over a month later im still without the lid i paid for. The transaction was completed over paypal and he withdrew the money into his account the whole $90.
Does anyone know him or in contact with him? Im looking to get my hard earned $$ back. I never expected this to happen as i have bought several items from people on this site and never had a problem.
Im sorry its come to posting on here however as many people will be in the same boat as me, money is tight on the ground my profession has been hit by the credit crunch and in now on a part time contract.

"I think they both came in and provided a good spark," said Mair, who played the right wing on the fourth line that Paille centered. "It's good to get some of our guys back and healthy, but in the same breath we were happy with what we were doing before. The depth on the team, especially up front, is great."'

Mani Friday: Sweet 15
Happy Mani Friday! Today's mani was inspired by the super bright and fun colors in our Sweet 15 art. It also gave me the chance to practice one of my favorite-but-still-trying-to-master mani, the gradient (or ombré, depending on which camp you're in).
Happy Birthday, Sephora!
What are you rocking on your nails for the weekend?
These are SO pretty I want to take my polish off and redo them!! Here are my fun "confetti" nails!
I love your nails, Candace! It just screams SUMMER
I have a texture nail going on. I need to apply another coat, its only been one day and it started to chip a bit.
I just did a Denim Mani last night & am so proud of it!
@dianabt THANK YOU! This was my very first post on BeautyTalk. I was certainly inspired by the Ciate kit, but whipped it up at home from polishes & studs I already owned.
@keelybt Thank you so much! They don't usually turn out this great, so I had to take the opportunity to post
@leopardprint - I love your nails! I admire those of you who have the skill and partience to design your nails. How awesome!
Thanks ladies! @Diana & Melissa - great nails! I'm really interested in that confetti polish. Is that Nails Inc Feathers?
@leopardprint - Your nails are awesome! I love the denim look. And welcome! Thanks for posting. And of course now I will expect to see you here representing every Mani Friday.
Pretty simple, just a stripe of gold on a pearl/off white nail.....
.....as in I brought Nails Inc. Mayfair cuz I want the vib amore kit, got it on Wed and put it on my nails....
.....then found Sephora mini polish on sale along with some other things I want, got that today and put a stripe on....
I still need to practice my ombre/gradient. I can do it, but by the time I get it right I have like half bottle of nail polish on my nails -.-;
@candacebt - I LOVE the blue!
@beautytester- I do that ALL the time, lol. Which is why my nails often end up with glitter all over them!
@Apocalyptica - thanks! The light blue is the JinSoon color in my Sweet 15 post today!
This wasn't for over the weekend, but I slapped on some OPI Teal the Cows Come Home with a Sally Hansen Gem Crush glitter accent nail. I didn't like my original nail art, so I took it off and went for this:
@Candace I love your gradient! Which technique did you use: painting the base color and sponging on one at a time or applying all the colors to the sponge and building it up on the nails? Or a different technique?
I love everyone's nails!
@kimmi1115 - What a pretty blue! I'm all about the glitter accent nail.
I used the painting the base color and sponging on the other colors one at a time w/ a makeup sponge method. The applying all of the colors on the sponge first method never works for me!
@Candace&Diana&leopardprint- Love all your nails!

John DeStefano, Jr. City Of New Haven
Mayor PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE
Monday Feb. 5, 2007
New Haven: Mayor John DeStefano, Jr. stood before the Board of Aldermen tonight and delivered his annual State of the City Address, calling for a property tax freeze for seniors, the formation of a Street Outreach Workers� Program, and new initiatives surrounding truancy, expulsion, and ethics. �You see our choice is not whether change will come,� said DeStefano. �Change always comes. Rather the choice is whether change will be driven by our values.�
DeStefano began the address by pointing to some of the successes of 2006, particularly
when it comes to youth. �In so many ways 2006 was a good year for the vast majority of
our kids,� said DeStefano. The accomplishments include a high school drop out rate that
continues to fall, �The number of high school graduates continuing on to 2 or 4 year
colleges increased to 84% - higher than the state average,� said DeStefano. �The fact is
that 90% of our kids are doing fine� but there�s another 10% of our kids - some in
trouble and some very close to trouble that I want to touch on tonight.�
DeStefano announced the formation of a Street Outreach Workers� Program, which will consist of 9 field staff working 7 days a week from a community based organization. Their mission will be facilitated by 2 full time community policing officers and their job will be to intervene in potentially violent situations; mediate among groups and individuals to prevent violence and retaliation; provide direct linkages to support for teens and young adults; and to do the outreach on the street with a team that comes from and that understands the community. The program coordinator will be on board by the 1st of May. Half the staff will be on the street this summer and the balance of staff by the start of school this year.
DeStefano also announced new policies regarding truancy and expulsion, in order to intervene with at-risk youth and help them make smart choices. The new truancy initiative will feature teams of police and truant officers conducting home visits on nights and weekends, and an aggressive effort to engage parents whose children aren�t coming to school. The new �2nd Chance� program is designed to reach out to students who have been expelled. The program will feature four major components: rigorous academics, behavior support, self control counseling, and job opportunities. �Together the street outreach worker program, our truancy initiative and the expulsion �2nd chance� program will reach out to those 10% of our kids who are increasingly putting themselves, and those around them, at risk,� said DeStefano.
Half way through the State of the City Address DeStefano addressed New Haven�s finances, including the state ordered revaluation. First, he outlined the progress the city has made when it comes to collecting revenue, growing the grand list, and controlling costs. �Pension and health care liabilities are properly funded,� said DeStefano. �Our balance sheet remains positive. We have years of budget surpluses, no hidden liabilities and a reasonable fund balance of $13 million.� DeStefano continued though, �That said �approximately one half of the city�s revenues come from the state. And when only small state aid increases are passed along to new haven, larger property tax hikes immediately follow.�
Another challenge facing New Haven is the state ordered property revaluation. DeStefano described the impact revaluation will have on the city�s grand list. �The new taxable grand list totals more than $6.2 billion � that�s a 56% increase over last year�s $4 billion grand list. And about $1.6 billion of that $2.2 billion increase comes from 1 to 4 unit buildings � some 14,000 of which are owner occupants.� DeStefano pointed out that homeowners are seeing large increases in the value and equity in their homes, but he added that this good news is tempered by the fact that properties that see the largest increases in value will see the tax burden shift towards them. People on fixed incomes, typically the elderly, would be hurt most. To help senior homeowners, DeStefano is proposing a property tax freeze for senior households earning $50,000 or less. Under the plan the tax rate for those seniors would remain frozen at the current level for as long as they live in and home the home. �This will keep our seniors in the house where they have spent their lives, and raised their kids, on every street in every neighborhood of the city,� said DeStefano.�
Finally, DeStefano touched on his commitment to running an ethical administration, �� I do know that you don�t have to be sick, to get better. So here are some suggestions on how we can get better.� The Mayor stated his intention to work with the Board of Aldermen on revising the city ethics ordinance and touted the fact that New Haven will be the first city in Connecticut to hold a publicly financed election of any kind. �By allocating money for the democracy fund the board is helping to level the playing field and make public office more accessible for everyone,� said DeStefano� DeStefano also called on all city department heads to sign a new ethics pledge that would prevent a revolving door between the public and private sectors that exists elsewhere.
Joining DeStefano in the Aldermanic Chambers were Michael Vollero, a New Haven Public School teacher and Connecticut National Guard member who earned a Bronze Star for his service in Iraq; and Tracy Suggs and Sonda Whitfield, each the mother of a 13 year-old who was killed in New Haven last year. DeStefano acknowledged each of these individuals for their character and contributions to the community,

Hello Pali friends,
The traditional English translations of these terms - "eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind", in context of the six senses, are commonly understood as the physical sense organs, which makes no sense:
"... the uninstructed run-of-the-mill person is thrashed in the eye by charming & pleasurable forms... thrashed in the ear by charming & pleasurable sounds... thrashed in the nose by charming & pleasurable aromas... thrashed in the tongue by charming & pleasurable flavors... thrashed in the body by charming & pleasurable tactile sensations... thrashed in the intellect by charming & pleasurable ideas."
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... .than.html
SN 35.7 " ... the well-taught ariyan disciple cares not for an eye that is
past, is not in love with an eye to be, and for the present
eye, seeks to be repelled by it, seeks dispassion for it, seeks
the ceasing of it." [ PTS Kindred Sayings IV page 3 ]
From SN 35.155 [ Bhikkhu Bodhi, Connected Discourses, page 1216 ]
"Bhikkhu, if one teaches the Dhamma for the purpose of revulsion
towards the eye, for its fading away and cessation, one can be
called a bhikkhu who is a speaker on the Dhamma."
"If one is practising for the purpose of revulsion toward the eye,
for its fading away and cessation, one can be called a bhikkhu who
is practising in accordance with the Dhamma."
"If, through revulsion towards the eye, through its fading away and
cessation, one is liberated by nonclinging, one can be called a
bhikkhu who has attained Nibbana in this very life."
[ Repeat for ear ..... mind. ]
Bhikkhu Bodhi, Connected Discourses, page 1139. - SN 35.21
"Bhikkhus, the arising, continuation, production, and manifestation of
the [eye] is the arising of suffering, the continuation of disease,
the manifestation of aging-and-death."
Replace [eye] with [ear], [nose], [tongue], [body] and [mind].
"The cessation, subsiding, and passing away of the [eye], is the
cessation of suffering, the subsiding of disease, the passing away
of aging-and-death."
Seems like the first English translators used the terms 'eye', 'ear', etc. in the old sense of 'sight', 'sense of hearing', etc.,
and then these renderings became traditional and undisputed:
However in the recently published Pali-English dictionary Margaret Cone gives the appropriate contemporary meanings:
cakkhu, 1. the eye; the organ of sight; the faculty of seeing, sight;...

Stacey Cole's Nature Talks: 'Spring cleanup' cause of early butterfly sighting?
June 28. 2013 10:01PM
I thank Ms. Hilson for her excellent letter, and I have recorded her name and address in my permanent record.
The insect order "Lepidoptera" is a word that means "scally-winged" and includes both moths and butterflies.
Its autumnal, drifting movements southward are watched for with great enthusiasm by butterfly buffs. These "ultra- lights" of the insect world spend weeks traveling 2,000 miles or more to reach their chosen winter quarters.
"Because one monarch looks like another monarch, people see them in the mass. ... Spectacular as the massed southern movement of the butterflies may be, it is the thin, scattered return journey that presents the most puzzles."

I'm looking for molding similiar to this for my armor. Does anybody know of a place that has this? Thanks.
just get that stuff that goes on the edges of car doors.works good.I used it on my predator armor edges.
It conforms to curves really nice too.
you can get it usually anywhere that sells car accesories.I got mine at wally world.
Yeah... but he's looking for white... which I havn't been able to find myself.
(Clutch... you're a prop building fool! :) )
Jon, you almost got that right. Just leave off the prop building part. :lol
You might also try utilizing irrigation hose/airline hose, the type without all the performated holes, for the drip systems. Its really cheap, comes in clear and other colors, and is real easy to use. Just split it down the middle apply a little glue to the inside and press it onto what you want to edge. I have used this in special effects, gauntlets and many idfferent applications. Looks good, durable, and last forever. You can buy on eBay (look under air hose) for about 10-$15.00 per 100 feet.
