Hello blog friends -- I hope you are having a happy/spooky Halloween!
My girlies are out for the first time without us...kind of. Sam and her group of gal friends are going it alone. Gracie and her friend were itchin' to fly out the door at 4:00 sharp and of course, I had told them I would be accompanying them.... yeah, that worked out well. I kept getting the "shoo shoo" sign even though I was 3-4 houses ahead of them. I ended up looking like a creeper cruising the neighborhood. Luckily for me, I know all the neighbors! I just kept announcing "I am not walking with any children whatsoever -- none at all. Pay no attention to the two girlies following me." Because of course, giving me the shoo sign means that yes, I will be embarrassing you if at all possible. Heh. I love being a mom.
As for candy, we are handing out Air Heads, Milky Ways and 100 Grand Bars. I luh-huh-hove anything chocolate, so I figured the odds were in my favor there would be some leftover. Except for the fact that my hubs keeps letting everyone have 2-3 pieces each! Does he not understand that I was planning on having extra candy? The kids were supposed to go crazy for the Air Heads and leave all the chocolate for ME!! My plan is being thwarted as I type. I really need to work on getting my hubs in line with my mindset. Perhaps this idea is being driven by my hormones.... I can't be sure. All I want is for there to be extra so I don't have to raid my kids candy while they are at school! Is that too much to ask? Hmm..okay, that would definitely be the hormones speaking...I'll try to keep it in check.
So where was I going with this? Oh, I know -- so, due to the shrinking chocolate situation, I decided I should try an Air Head. All I can say is -- eh. They are okay, very intense fruitiness similar to the Jolly Ranchers candy. However (and I am sure I am in alignment with most other adults out there), they have this waxy taffy-like texture that I just can't get past. Waxy fruit? If I wanted to eat that, I would have complied when I was little and my cousins tried to convince me my grandma's fake fruit was real fruit. Gaah. Next year, remind me NOT to buy treats based on pre-teen recommendations.
Okay, now my stomach feels uck. I blame the Air Heads, or maybe the Milky Ways, or perhaps the 100 Grand Bars. Or maybe the fact that I have eaten about 15 pieces of candy in the last couple of hours. Oddly enough, I think what I need now is fruit -- real fruit. Hmm. Ironic.
Enjoy the night!

Recently, I have been able to attend three of the lectures of the Aesthetics series at TCAUP. First, Mark Scogil and Meril Elam spokes about the creating an architecture that had multiple readings, that was somehow "strange." In their most recent work, which departed from their tested process, was an interest in surprising themselves and "getting into trouble." Mark further spoke of having being "uncomfortable with your design." In an overarching way, he was speaking of determinism in architecture; he seemed to believe that determinism resulted in unsatisfying and the expected.
The below diagram charted what he believed the paths of an architect in terms of developing an aesthetic. Functionalism and rationalism, he believed, were short lived aesthetic trials that ultimately could be accomplished, but would also result in a lack of opportunity for the architect. The paths of pursuing the "sublime" or the "beautiful," however, were both more challenging and more rewarding.
The next speaker was Ken Smith from Workshop LA. He presented on various landscape projects both at the scale of cities to individual roof gardens. Most interesting of his thinking was his discussion about "inductive" versus "deductive" design. Inductive, he stated, was designing from the detail to inform the whole. Deductive was designing the whole then down to the detail. He particularly believed that inductive design occurs on smaller projects, which makes sense, while deductive design is for fronted on larger projects. This simple discussion, however, made me rethink my on design process and place it in in comparison to writing's framework; do you write the beginning first or start with the ending of a narrative?
Lastly, we heard form Mark Gage from Gage Clemenceau architects. His presented an interesting reflection on the nature of the profession. He said that architecture is moving away from the "starchitect" model and towards a more transdiciplinary practice, where different skill sets are brought together in collaboration. I think this is profoundly true, given that the world continues to seek more greater performance from nearly ever physical or digital object. It seems the starchitect practice where one opinion dominates is incapable of adapting to the rigorous problems presented by the clients and public. I think this shift has occurred in other firms, who are looking both inside their people and to outside of their firms to create a more diverse and flexible entity. Mark Gage, given his classical training from Notre Dame, interestingly brings up the topic of patrons of architecture. He relates each period of time to particular patrons, who funded the design of the most progressive architecture of the time period. Today, he believes the patron is no longer corporate america but rather the industries of fashion and media. His opinion is that architecture should look to insert itself where the architectural is wanted or desired, such as in pop up installations, fashion shows, etc, where a physical space and affect are the most charged.


text: Occasionally not all my regular buyers need eggs and I'm quickly overwhelmed, like right now. I would like to donate the extras. There isn't a homeless shelter or even a soup kitchen in town, but there is a senior center. They have vans that go out a couple times a week and pick up senior citizens from the outlaying communities and bring them to the center for a day's activities. I thought I'd offer the eggs at the center to any seniors that would like to take a dozen home with them. My question is, when you've donated do the people in charge of these places give you any hassle about how the eggs were collected or kept (refrig. vs. counter), etc.? Do they have certain requirements or do you treat the eggs you donate any different from all your others?

That's just the thing....I have NOTHING installed except for what comes with the Hybrid. no extra languages, BBMessenger, Yahoo Messenger, and that's pretty much it. I don't even have BBMaps installed. You think a wipe and reinstall would help?
LOL...nope, no games. I didn't install wordmole or brickbreaker. I simply use my phone as a messaging device, therefore I don't need anything except my e-mails on there, MMS, SMS, and the stock browser. I know, there's much more that the phone can do, but for right now, those are the only things that I need. HELP ME....my poor little bald spot is beginning to look like Kojak (for all the youngins that don't know who Kojak is....greek bald actor, Telly Savalas)
Man, unfortunately, I know what you're talking about (make it even worse, I'm only 33, but love the old detective shows). If I remember, he used a Lolli to help him stop smoking. I will do a wipe tomorrow while I'm at work (Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad are new tonight, so my attention will be on the plasma, rather than the Storm). I will let you know what I found.....
Here is my evening report on V3. I deleted Windows Messenger and Slacker which I use neither one. My memory went up to 40.77 after a pull. Battery is at 65% but I have been testing stuff on and off all day in between washing our travel trailer and mowing the yard. Browser screams. accerlerometer is quick. Overall, works great. What's next?

6 Questions for our Designer
Meet Sean Kasa
-Where can we find you when you are not at the Frost studio?
I love to explore. Right now that's taking advantage of walking around Denver and discovering new and exciting places around town. I also can be found hiking, snowboarding, camping and generally being outside.
-What was the best gift you received as a kid?
The best gift I received as a kid, was probably the one that gave my parents the most stress as well. For Christmas, my parents got my brother and I a large trampoline and the countless hours pretending to be Power Rangers or Ninja Turtles with my brother, cousins and friends left some pretty lasting memories of my childhood.
-When was the last time you laughed really hard?
The last time I really laughed, I'd have to say was Thanksgiving when my extended family got together. Whenever we all see each other again its like no time has passed since the last time.
-What is the best meal you have ever had?
To be honest, I would have to say it was the meal that surprised me the most, Korean BBQ. The whole experience was something I wasn't prepared for and now is one of my favorite places to go with friends.
-What is your most embarrassing fashion mistake?
In high school I had a pretty mean bowl-cut hairstyle. One that, as an angsty teenager, I let grow to shoulder length. It has since been remembered as the "Vase" cut, by family and friends who knew me during the time.
-Why did you decide to become a motion designer?
It actually didn't feel like a decision I made at all. I went to school for print and web based design and took one semester of Motion Graphics. After graduating I was falling out of love with web design and was learning animation on the side as a hobby. Over time, My two interests gradually started to align and (with a much needed push from friends,) I embraced it fully.
I love communicating an idea visually, so taking the skills I had and applying them to time-based mediums was a natural evolution for me and I am happier for it.

Hey TWIST ladies!
It looks like Miley, who's back in L.A. after wrapping an upcoming film in Paris, has quickly rekindled her romance with Liam Hemsworth! The two were spotted grabbing lunch and coffee on Saturday and have looked inseparable ever since! In fact, they're so comfy being back together, the cute couple was photographed yesterday morning mid lip-locking sesh! Mi has a history of keeping the guys she loves close to her heart (remember when she hung out with Nick post break-up last year?), so is this reunion for real?
For more on Mi and Liam's on-again romance, make sure to grab the October issue of TWIST, available on stands September 20th! The new issue all about kissing, and Miley even dishes on her first smooch with Liam! So what do you think, are Miley and Liam back together for good, or just for now? Was distance the reason for their rough patch? Would you ever give your guy a peck in public?

I patiently read the many letters in the April 15 "Friday Forum" regarding what qualities our new pope should have.
As a practicing Catholic for more than half a century, I do realize how times have changed. However, we as Catholics believe the choice of pope is up to neither the College of Cardinals nor us. The ultimate decision is in God's hands, and through His intervention, our cardinals recognize God's choice.

|Halloween in a Hotel
|Lulu loves baby Mihren.
|My dream come true...
Lulu behaves on the plane.
8. We joined Darrin in Falls Church, VA. Falls Church is about 10 minutes from D.C. just west of Arlington. It seems like any suburb with plenty to do. It's pretty diverse and not too exciting, but it seems fine. One thing I am seriously disappointed in is the quality of community children's programs it offers more on that later. We live in furnished short term apartments which seems to house mostly foreign service people and others somehow associated with the foreign service. It has a shuttle that takes Darrin to the Foreign Service Institute everyday (and brings him home too, of course).
9. Lulu learned to climb out of her crib in the apartment. We've had a one bedroom apartment b/c they had a waiting list for two bedrooms and Lulu had a crib in the bedroom. Second night here she let herself out. We said goodbye to the crib and put the mattress on the floor for her.
10. We've been getting around and keeping ourselves BUSY! We've gone into D.C. a few times on the metro which is easy and convenient to use. We've gone to some fabulous farmer's market where I am happy to find humanely raised meat products and other fine food. I've been Christmas shopping and finding my way around Falls Church.
|Lulu and her new friend Solveig
So I started looking outside the complex for activities. I started with the library since we loved going to the main library in ABQ for the music class and story hours each week. Falls Church has a beautiful library housed in a lovely old brick building and an open children's room with big bright windows and amphitheater like seating. When I first arrived, I thought 'this is going to be great!' I was wrong. The librarian read seven books and did three 30 second finger plays. This class was specifically for 18 - 36 months. After the second book most of the kids were acting up, but the librarian didn't seem to mind and just went on reading only to take a break after the third to do some fingerplays. At that point, I was thinking it might be o.k. but as I said she only did three and then went back to reading. Honestly, I was bored. Lulu was a champ and held up pretty well, but jeesh, come on. Again wishing I could be brave enough to make a comment to someone. Of course, we had a good time checking out books after and the library has a great selection of wooden puzzles to play with. I haven't been back for another story hour, but I'm hoping that there is another librarian who conducts some of the other ones.
Next I went to the county rec center which advertised music and gym classes. The music class was first and in the teacher's defense it was better than the other activities we'd been to, but not much. The teacher was a little on the crazy side. I ended up asking for a refund on the gymnastics class because it was taught by the same teacher. We went to the second class today and it was better. Maybe I'm just too critical. I'm not giving up though and I have a few other classes to try that start in January at the Arlington Rec Center. Keeping my fingers crossed! I am also going to start taking Lulu to the Smithsonian once a week. I hear the Natural History Museum is a hit with the toddlers.

Keith Hill felt his Rochdale side were worthy winners against promotion-chasing Exeter, even if they left it late to claim a 2-1 victory.
Two goals in the final three minutes from Ian Henderson and Bobby Grant did the damage for Dale, while defeat for Exeter sees them clinging on to a play-off place after a poor Easter in which they lost twice.
"It's a great result, it's a result we needed because we don't want to create any pressure on us and that takes a bit of pressure off with three home games to play," Hill said.
"The performance wasn't the late, late show - the goals were, but we deserved it. We played well and deserved to win the game. It is a big step in the direction towards us and most of the teams below us have four games to play, so hopefully, we can start planning for next year and get ourselves safe as soon as possible."
Hill was especially delighted with his two goalscorers as well as striker George Donnelly, who he believes can follow in the footsteps of Premier League striker Grant Holt.
"When you are losing, you keep your goalscorers on the pitch. You can't score of they are on the bench," Hill said. "Bobby was anonymous at times, but he has a lot to learn. With respect to George Donnelly, I thought his all-round performance was superb. I said to him afterwards: 'Isn't it about time you found a footballing home and settled down and started to learn?'
"I think he could maybe become the next Grant Holt. They are very similar if I am being honest with you. He is my type of player."
Jamie Cureton had given Exeter a half-time lead, but manager Paul Tisdale admitted his side had not played well.
"It was terribly disappointing because it happened so late in the game," Tisdale said. "With five minutes to go we were leading 1-0 and you just hope you can hang on considering how poor we were. You hope you can hang on and to be at that point and then concede so late, and then an injury-time winner, is very disappointing.
"We have lost the game but we are still in the play-off zone and we still have six games to go, so I can spin positives from it, but it feels so disappointing because of how poor we were as a team. I have not seen one of my teams play so poorly for a long, long time and we struggled to put passes together or play any meaningful forward play at all.

The painting is not complete as she was planning to make a change to the angle of the window, and a few other things but I love her treatment of the trees and light coming through the trees and wanted to share it. Good job Josephine!

Hawaiian converted to standard Spanish neck and refinished by the factory in the 70's.
These post '33 40's had two logos on front and back of headstock. This guitar also had a professional refret with bar frets! Very few shops offer bar fret refrets and when they do it's generally north of $1500.
New ebony bridge done to the exact footprint of the original belly bridge (the abalone bridge pins are original).
The 40 year old refinish does show wear, it looks original. The neck is 1 3/4" wide with a V shape profile.
The tone? A prewar, pre '38 Martin with pearl trim is not just a guitar it's an event. It's a history making, soul enhancing every note is magic, event. Has original nickel German made Grover stay tight tuners (in the case). Comes with a nice green lined '60's hard case.
Update: We ordered and installed some Waverly tuners for this guitar as the original Grover Stay tight tuners were slipping. The originals are in the case now. We got ivoroid buttons to match the beautiful ivoroid binding on the guitar.

Mark Twain's classic and controversial novel weaves together adventure, comedy, and satire as Huck struggles to escape his constricting life and sets off down the river with Jim, a slave. This comprehensive explanation of the novel offers an introduction to Mark Twain's life, a detailed narrative guide to the book, dramatic readings, and a critical analysis. The author of this study guide is an assistant professor of English at the College of William and Mary with a specialty in American Literature and a guest lecturer at Yale and Harvard. This guide is part of the A+ AUDIO series from Time Warner, an innovative set of study materials that will help you to better understand, appreciate, and enjoy great works of literature. Look for other A+ titles from Audible in the Education section of Personal Development.
i am very grateful that i listened to the study guide of huckleberry finn before litening to the book; i understood so much more about huck's reasoning throughout the story; the study guide made the listening experience of "the adventures of huckleberry finn" a great pleasure
6 of 6 people found this review helpful
I found this book to be a phenomenal reference to the work. The depth and insight this work adds to the story really helps the literary student pick-up on the nuances that are so artfully layered in the work. If you were using Huckleberry Finn in any in-depth analysis, you would be foolish not to listen to this material first.

Saturday 26th November
Forecast was for stunning sunshine but it never quite managed to burn through the sea fog.
Saturdays have to be quite organised if I wish to fit in a run before getting the girls to football. Not helped by over tired children…having committed to giving this all a go we still had wobbles this morning as they are so very very tired, but big smiles once they had joined in, and they are learning skills that will benefit whatever they do, rather than just chasing a ball around a pitch with a big group of other (generally bigger and more skilled!) children. I'm afraid I resorted to pure bribery this morning. Resulting in the girls being allowed to choose whatever chocolate they wanted at the shop on the way home.
Arrived back to find Nanny and Grandpa already at home, to their great excitement. F woke soon after (having been sick this morning – hummm, perhaps she had drunk most of M's prevent-nail-biting-liquid that Daddy found open and nearly empty on the floor under the table?). Early lunch and plenty of stories, apples finally peeled and chutney made – I've only been meaning to do that for weeks, then out to the garden to rake up leaves. Great fun was had by all.
Feeling much happier now I have finally cleared and tidied up the veg patches, ready for winter. Given I look out of them everyday through the window, it has not helped my state of mind. I then escaped whilst the girls had tea, to attempt a tidy up upstairs. Still so far to go but I did manage to clear all the piles of washing and much of the mess of the spare room. Now I just need a week of uninterrupted time to tidy, sort, declutter and reorgnise the rest of the house?!

Maark visits Maastricht
This amused me.
Hmmm, I disappear for more than a week and not a peep. I'm hurt.
Well, had anyone asked, I was in the BENELUX countries, which is what the Euro-hipsters call Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Belgium, despite the fact that it makes them sound like some kind of 1960s cleaning product. I am also uncertain why these 2 1/2 countries are lumped in together despite a lack of a common language.
The spur for the trip was an invitation from Babet, a friend of a friend who visited us back in January. She lives in Maastricht, which is in that part of the Netherlands that looks like it's being pinched off between Germany and Belgium.
Babet, explaining a series statues that look like moulded turds.
Having the typically Canadian attitude that no city in Europe is that far from any other, and anxious not to jeopardize my thus-far perfect attendance record in French we didn't leave Strasbourg until 7 pm. We immediately ended up in a traffic jam (un confiture des autos) that kept us near home until 8 pm.
The ride was fairly smooth – French highways have a bad reputation for some reason, but I'm pretty impressed by them. We hit the so-called Grand Duchy of Luxembourg at about 9:30, where we stopped for gas.
The wonderful thing about the Grand Duchy (in addition to its Dancing on the tomb of Saint Willibard festival, which I'll have to visit) is that it is really small, and fairly rich. This means that its highways had streetlights – more numerous and brighter than those in many cities. Twas very civilized.
Under these conditions, we crossed all of Luxembourg in about an hour, including the gas stop. Belgium's highways were nearly as well lit, though decorated with signs that appeared to be warning us about an aggressive tribe of flying, shovel-flinging constructions workers, who apparently swoop down from the sky to attack passing motorists. These highways also featured two different restaurant/motels located in overpass like structures. Because, after all, nothing adds to a good night's sleep like the soothing rumble of 18-wheelers passing under one's bed.
This old city entrance was called the Hell's Gate. Way to welcome visitors!
We didn't get to Maastricht until 12:30, after some difficulty locating Babet's boyfriend's apartment (no one warned us that he lived in a 600-year-old convent). Despite being roughly 2 hours later than we promised, our Dutch hosts were awake and prepared with a selection of snacks.
The next day Amynah and I, armed with a selection of maps provided by Babet, wandered around the town aimlessly. We saw the river (the Meuse from which, with some linguistic contortions, Maastricht gets it's name), we saw the shopping district, we saw ton of bikes. I am suffering from some serious Dutch bike envy now – there were some sweet rides in this town. And, contrary to expectations, there were very few bike lanes: bikes are not segregated from traffic as they are in Strasbourg, but a full-on, elbows-out army in the thick of the fighting of the road wars.
Yes, bikes and the Dutch: big stereotype. I don't care.
After what was probably one of the best cappuccino's I've had since leaving Montreal with Erik and his two boys, Babet took Amynah and I around on a tour of Maastricht.
The city reminded me quite a bit of North American burgs, though that might only be because I've become so accustomed to Alsatian architecture. Almost everything was red brick, making all the buildings look like they were built in the 1940s, instead of the 1490s.
Coal barge, with Bridge of St Sevatious in the distance. The end bit was bombed in WWII
It's a fairly small city, and Babet explained that up until this century the main industry had been mining, removing minerals from the Netherlands's hill (yes, I intended the singular. No, I am not one hundred percent sure I'm joking). Otherwise, the main industry seemed to be God – not churches, though there were some impressive ones. On the other hand, the place seemed to be littered with ex-monasteries and convents, most of which seem to have been converted into condos.
For the food-lovers amongst my miniscule and indifferent readership, we intended to feast on Dutch cuisine that evening. However, Erik informed us that "Dutch cuisine" consists mainly of mashed potatoes and boiled vegetables. We therefore went for the next best thing: Indonesian cuisine, which I am happy to report, was delicious. In fact, should you ever find yourself in Maastricht, I highly recommend the Indisch eetcafé "De Branding" on Koestraat, and not just because I wanted to type "Eetcafé."
Anyway, more photos here.
Tomorrow: Antwerp, where, through inattentive walking, we ended up with diamonds on the soles of our shoes. Those things are impossible to get out.

Randal spent a semester of law school studying in Maastricht though, ah, uh, he apparently spent a lot of time up in Amsterdam. I've been to the 'Dam but not Maastricht - would like to go someday!
Also, from what I remember of European travels, the red-bricked cities bear quite little resemblance to N. America. Yes, you've been in Strasbourg too long :)

Travis: I always though self-indulgent wallowing was the whole point of a blog? I think they'll take it away if I don't.
Julie: all right, I may not know my architecture, but at least I've yet to call the Netherlands's best-known city "the 'Dam." Did you call Ontario's capital "the 'Toe?"
All right, I'm done snarking. I have to write up my travels in "the 'Twerp" and "the 'Sells."

I know these have been around awhile, but I'm curious as to how any of you fellow writers for TV, film, etc make use of them.
It would seem they might come in very handy on projects like 12 minute sales films, or what have you, where the deadline is tight and changes happen a lot.
I downloaded the demos to both and both seem pretty cool, though LIVE seems to offer more.
I'm trying to figure how I'd use them in a setup where I have a Mac with Pro Tools for the recording and sequencing, and a PC for GIGA. The ACID demo says it won't chase MIDI time code (ie lock to Pro Tools on my Mac) but I haven't checked out whether LIVE will.
Any input on how you guys use them and if you find them useful is appreciated.

Ddating tip related 1 txt 1 degrassi stars dating real life
Giving a One Word Response Have you ever imagined yourself being lit on fire?
"Send me a pic," and "What ru wearing" sound juvenile and pervy.
The results also revealed what male texting habits make women flake on the first date and women's favourite first date locations based on age group.
Our survey of 100 single women found that 89% want to be contacted within 48 hours and a hot babe will lose interest in you if you don't text her within 2 days.
Here are ten of my favorite long distance texting tips that will keep him engaged, interested, and begging for more. Share your surroundings Rather than sending random photos from time to time, invite your partner in on your world. Take a photo as you walk to work, share your favorite place, or sit down on a bench in the botanical gardens. Remember the big and small events Cheat and schedule reminders to congratulate them for finishing a big project, asking them how their first class went, or motivating them to continue learning a foreign language.
Remembering both the big and small events is a great way to stay connected and make your partner feel loved. Put your life into context While sharing your day-to-day activities and adventures is a great way to stay connected, make sure they are up to speed with your surroundings before you get too text happy.
That doesn't mean she's not willing to get a bit frisky.
Compliment your partner, communicate what you miss most about them, or what you look forward to sharing when you are finally reunited.
Your number one goal: Unfortunately, if you constantly fire off mundane texts, your partner will start thinking of you as boring, and boring is never sexy.
Instead, start filling their inbox with text messages that keep them hooked, happy and in love until you're reunited and able to do again…
Sure, some girls prefer Facebook, and there's never any sure fire way of knowing what she likes best, but don't lay the options on the table and ask her to choose because you'll sound needy and insecure. When we look at how long it takes men to first get in touch and when women want men to get in touch, the results are surprisingly similar: Because 89% of women said they prefer to be contacted within 48 hours and only 6% think the 3 day rule is cool, I'm sure you can guess what we're going to say next… This video course by Richard La Ruina will teach you rejection proof ways to approach and seduce girls.
Wasn't it exciting to discover the main reasons women flake on the first date?

Thread: Additional info System 4 DIYCNC
04-02-2011 #1
Hiya folks,
Upgrade time and looking at a system 4 as have had good results with Roy's equipment. What I need to know is will the board handle 42V DC as it is recommended for 24-30V?
I have a 24V unit (also from Roy) and a 42V unit (PS407 from Zapp) and would like to use the 42V to insure that there is enough juice for both the Steppers (now up to 4) and the spindle motor (Kress 1050W that finally have found the info for slaving to Mach3). So there is my reasoning and if not can always go with the modern version of the system 1 V2. I am currently running the PCPPS with Charge Pump.
Any information would be great as need to get cutting product as have interested clients just need finished product to sell.:whistling:
Thanks all for any and all information.
PS I hope everyone is safe as we are having some pretty fierce winds today here in Scotland.
04-02-2011 #2
i probably wouldnt risk it, roys probably your best bet to ask, though everyone has different opinions on how much extra voltage their kit will take. Usually its better to play safe unless you plan on liquid cooling the board :D.. I've got a system 1 v2 board and as you say its got everything you'd need for your setup including the 70v pre regulator and 4 stepper outputs(1 slaved) you may well have to buy the plug in module for your spindle if you want full control of it. its pretty well priced. i'd go for that if i were you.
07-02-2011 #3
Did some more digging and 30V is the limit according to the information Roy puts out and will hold that as fact from him. Still ordering it though as with the EXMOD cards I can still power the one NEMA35 I have on A axis and with the spindle board run power to the spindle and control spindle speed which will be very nice indeed. Than once I can afford it move into the enclosure he has designed and truly have a much nicer and neater set up for the system.
Thanks for th info folks and have a great day, I am (even though busy as heck)
14-02-2011 #4
Well folks Board is here and got X,Y,Z running fine should have the Spindle control up today or tomorrow. Only problem is that the A axis is now not responding. I have a PM752 as the driver for the board and with the PCPPS V2 with charge pump it ran with the bridge cable connected to the 5V no problem. My problem is that it will lock with power now when I wire that to ground but I don't get any motion from it all now.
Does anyone know what the wiring would be for that driver board to Roy's System 4?
Thanks and yes I am e-mailing Roy as well.
14-02-2011 #5
Sure enough found a solution not two hours later. So once again the gremlins don't like being jinxed.
14-02-2011 #6
Hi Michael,
Glad to hear you are making progress with the system4 upgrade. I'm running the earlier system 3 and couldn't be happier with it.
Have you posted a build log for this machine? If not, would be great to see a few pictures of it and the electronic upgrades . . .
Good to see Roy is offering enclosures now - when I built mine a few years ago he didn't stock anything like that.
Hope the storms have passed and your shed / garage roof is still on.Building a CNC machine to make a better one since 2010 . . .

I will be getting some pic's up in the near future and have also loaded up some video of it cutting. Starting to get much better at the speeds and feeds for the small bits I use (largest is 6.2mm diameter). Still trying to set up the spindle control for the board with a Kress 1050 FME (the two wiring diagrams of similar boards don't quite work and don't want to blow a board). Other than that Love the system it works great and the motors run so much quieter and that is really nice (also cooler but need to wire the mains back into the E- stop to cut power and keep the boards cooler as using the EXMOD boards with the older DRV25PS boards for X,Y,Z).
Take care folks

Spirit portrait drawn of young Matey
Matey started working with the circle when we lived in Norfolk and refused to tell us his name, so he was called Matey from then on. A few years later he told us his real name was Sydney Gates but by then it did not seem right to call him anything other than Matey.
He was an urchin who lived near the River Thames. He used to catch rats and was given money for their tails and he made necklaces out of their teeth.
Matey drowned in the river around 1901 when he was about six or seven years old.

|Resilient places? : the healthcare gardens and the Maggie's Centres

|Current Institution:
|University of the Arts London
|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
This thesis takes as its focus the Maggie's Cancer Centres exploring for the first time the impact of their designed gardens. This research is situated within the immediate context of Maggie's ambitions as an organisation and looks closely at their design process. It is also set within the wider debates about the effects of green space on health and the historical context of the restorative garden. By exploring both historical and contemporary examples, it argues that a healthcare garden may be a space for transformation. Using four different Maggie's gardens as case studies, the research seeks to investigate the role of these outdoor spaces and their impact on users. Through ethnographic and sensory methods, each garden is considered and mapped. It looks at the design brief and the intentions of the designers', but the core work is an exploration of the experiences of staff and visitors. The focus is on the everyday use of these gardens as well as the design historiography. The experiences of gardens within healthcare are examined in order to expose the ways in which gardens, people, health and care are entwined. Through the qualitative research process this thesis develops a new hypothesis as to how healthcare gardens may operate – offering a new definition for them as "resilient places". Careful analysis of the data reveals the specific networks and affordances presented by these gardens. The thesis argues, based on the evidence of users, that healthcare gardens can uniquely embrace certain "essences" where essence is defined as conveying a quality or attribute. These garden essences are identified as thresholds, sensory richness, the density of time and homeliness. The thesis also argues that a healthcare garden can provide specific and unique opportunities for care and this, in turn, can enhance the healing ethos of an organisation such as Maggie's.

Yes, that's his hand over there. Image credit Northern Territory News.
Saltwater crocodiles the scariest animal in the world, hands down. Lions are scary but you usually know when they're around. Great white sharks are scary but they don't come out of the water for 200 meters and drag you out of your tent, like these guys have. What's worse, now they're getting smart. The one above was photographed herding fish to eat them. Forget Bears Discover Fire, this is much worse. There are also unconfirmed reports that this one has learned to handle currency and was seen negotiating for a ride into downtown Darwin where he could eat more people.

Thousands of visitors last August contributed to Homestead National Monument of America hitting its highest annual attendance on record.
Homestead Park Superintendent Mark Engler said the unofficial count for 2017 was 123,399 visitors, setting a new record and marking the second year ever that attendance has topped six figures.
Last year's attendance intensified in August, as the total solar eclipse generated international attention for the National Park Service site.
"That weekend was a huge weekend for the park and especially the day of totality, that Monday, was huge," Engler said. "I think one of the great things that comes from these numbers is the economic impact generated from those thousands and thousands of people who found their way to the monument. The benefits of their spending were seen within the community, regional area and within the state and beyond."
Homestead National Monument was deemed a prime viewing spot for the eclipse since it was directly in the path of totality, and also experienced total darkness for one of the longest durations.
The 2017 estimate represents an approximate 40 percent increase over 2016's attendance of 87,755.
Engler said attendance on Monday, Aug. 21, the day of the solar eclipse, was 20,991. The Homestead hosted numerous events in the days leading up to the eclipse, including presentations from NASA scientists. Total attendance for the four days of festivities was 36,749.
But the boost generated by the eclipse wasn't limited to only the four days.
"All through the year leading up to totality, we had people traveling here to basically determine if they were going to come here for the eclipse," Engler said. "Not only to determine if they were coming here, but to scope out where in the Monument they could view the eclipse from. There was a lot of traffic leading up the eclipse that had a positive impact on the visitation, as well."
In addition to the eclipse, Homestead was the site of programs throughout the year to celebrate Nebraska's 150th year as a state that contributed to attendance figures.
Engler said several thousand people also visited Homestead as the result of a price increase to a NPS pass program for seniors.
Homestead doesn't charge an admission and programs are free, but it does sell America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands passes, which cover admission to more than 2,000 federal recreation sites across the country.
Lifetime passes for seniors age 62 and over were previously $10, though the price was bumped to $80 for a lifetime pass or $20 for an annual pass, prompting thousands of people to get it at the cheaper rate.
The only other year Homestead's attendance has topped 100,000 was in 2012, when 103,000 people visited the site to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Homestead Act of 1862, for which the NPS site was established. To mark the occasion, the Homestead Act, signed by President Abraham Lincoln himself, was on display in Gage County.
The 2017 eclipse was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many, though Engler speculated the rare event will have an impact on Homestead for years to come.
"Along with the thousands that found their way to Homestead for the eclipse, thousands, if not millions, learned about the monument through news media and special coverage of the event," he said. "I have to wonder if the eclipse is still in play from the standpoint that people learning about us through the eclipse want to learn more about Homestead National Monument of America in person."

Rodent infestation so pervasive they were nibbling on a disabled Somali refugees child's feeding tube
The horror stories keep emerging from the Springfield, MA case. The city cited one rental property at 400 Franklin St. occupied by three families of Somali refugees for deplorable, "uninhabitable" living conditions – because mice and rats infested the building so pervasively they were nibbling on a disabled child's feeding tube. The property was filled with dead mice and rat droppings, and had holes chewed in the walls. The city issues a condemnation order in May for the property at Franklin Street and 72 Carver St. with a torn blue tarp covering the roof. It had a litany of violations including broken locks and windows, a lack of hot water and heat in certain units and a heavy infestation of bed bugs. An article atThe Republican takes a deeper look at the situation in Springfield:
SPRINGFIELD — …21-year-old Hiboxasan Iyai found the challenges of her birthright were not yet over.Among hundreds of Somali Bantu refugees resettled here since 2003, Iyai – a mother of a 3- and 1-year-old, has been struggling to feed and clothe her children since she arrived two months ago…"America good," she said with a broad smile, standing in the hallway of her apartment at 400 Franklin St, a triple-decker home that houses three families of Somali refugees run by a landlord based out of Meriden, Conn.The property was one of several cited by the city for deplorable, "uninhabitable" living conditions earlier this year – primarily because mice and rats had infested the building so pervasively they were nibbling on a disabled child's feeding tube on the third floor, according to city records linked to the house…David Cotter, director of code enforcement for the city, has said more than a half-dozen complaints have recently come from the refugee rental market, with properties all across the city affected…The emerging housing problem was among factors that prompted Mayor Domenic J. Sarno to publicly state that the city is "closed for business" for any more refugees…"I know (resettlement agencies) mean well. I do care and do have a heart. I'm a first-generation kid of Italian immigrants … but where's the follow-up?" Sarno said.The two primary resettlement agencies for refugees in Western Massachusetts are Jewish Family Service in Springfield and Lutheran Social Services of New England.Since 2011, U.S. State Department numbers show the agencies have helped resettle nearly 1,500 refugees in Greater Springfield – primarily from African nations and in greatest numbers in Springfield and West Springfield…Jozefina Lantz, director for services for New Americans for Lutheran Social Services, said…"If the refugee family runs into issues…three years down the road — that is not something we would follow…Cotter provided documentation for several properties including Franklin Street and 72 Carver St., which still had a torn blue tarp covering the roof when a reporter recently visited the property. A small group of women dressed in traditional African garb were gathered on the front porch, but none spoke English.A condemnation order was issued by the city in May, attached to a report with a litany of violations including the tarp, broken locks and windows, a lack of hot water and heat in certain units and a heavy infestation of bed bugs…In the case of 400 Franklin St., Cotter said the property was filled with dead mice and rat droppings, and had holes chewed in the walls. Deeds records show the limited liability corporation purchased the property for $35,000 in 2008."We have six people in code enforcement and there have been 192 condemnations since the first of January. That's a ridiculous amount. Now we have to turn those over to our Law Department, which is short-staffed, and what happens when the cold weather comes and they don't have a winter coat or they can't communicate with the oil company when that runs out? Where's the follow-up?" Cotter said…Iyai…added that she had been resettled by Lutheran Social Services."Not good," she said, unable to provide more detail in English… Read more here
A 2003 State Department inspection report shows that ten years ago there were concerns about public safety is the areas that Jewish Family Services was placing Somali Bantu refugees. Female refugees said they did not feel safe walking in the neighborhood. Why wasn't this issue resolved? (Several years ago I asked Barbara Day of the State Department Refugee Admissions Office why the contract documents that resettlement agencies such as Jewish Family Services sign do not have any penalties, any "teeth." She said they would have to consider that. As of 2013 there still are no teeth.) Also, two refugee men reported that Jewish Family Services had charged them for their stove and refrigerator. These items are required via one of the State Department contract documents that resettlement agencies such as Jewish Family Services sign, therefore the agency violated the contract by charging the refugees. >>more<<

After a day of art, it's time to 'kill the night'
Published 5:30 am, Monday, October 6, 2008
De Madrid al Cielo (after Madrid, next stop heaven) might seem a presumptuous claim on the part of Madrileños, but anyone who has visited the dynamic Spanish capital recently might just be inclined to agree with them.
When dictator Francisco Franco died in 1975 and democracy was reintroduced to Spain, Madrid experienced a creative outburst that continued well into the '80s. La Movida, as it was known, gave birth to stars like movie director Pedro Almodóvar and actor Antonio Banderas, but by the time the 1992 Barcelona Olympics came around, Madrid had run out of steam and was eclipsed by the Catalan capital for much of the '90s.

Not any more, though. The past few years have seen the city work its way up the league table of hot European destinations, as travelers discover its second-to-none art galleries, fantastic cuisine and exhilarating nightlife. Each barrio has its own attractions, and all of them have a distinct identity and nightlife worth exploring. Just make sure you take that siesta -- Madrid is a late-night city, and if you're having dinner before 10 p.m., going clubbing before 1 a.m. and hitting your bed before dawn, then you haven't enjoyed a truly Madrileno night out.
Art attack
Before hitting the bars, it's worth hitting Madrid's Golden Triangle of museums, rightly acclaimed as the greatest concentration of art in the world. The Museo del Prado's collections of Spanish and European art are a stunning display of one masterpiece after another, with the highlights arguably being Diego Velazquez's "Las Meninas" and the unsettling black paintings by Francisco Goya, which include seriously scary images of witches, devils and cannibalistic gods.
For an excellent A to Z (literally) of Western art during the past 700 years, head to the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, where, in a collection handpicked by an aristocrat with exquisite taste, every painting is a highlight, though the Impressionists stand out. For more contemporary works, the Museo Reina Sofia brings the history of art almost up to the present day. Housed in a converted convent, it's most famous for Guernica, Pablo Picasso's powerful denunciation of the violence of the Spanish Civil War, though other artists worth seeking out are Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí.
Tapas bar crawling
A quintessential Madrid experience is going from bar to bar and sampling the tapas in each -- they even have a verb for it, tapear. Originally a small piece of bread with a lump of ham or cheese on it that covered (tapar) your glass of wine to keep the flies out, tapas today are much fancier, and Madrid offers regional specialties from around the country. Traditional favorites include tortilla (thick potato omelet), patatas bravas (fried potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce), chorizo (spicy sausage), calamares (battered squid rings) and all manner of other meat, seafood and fish.
Tapas bars are found across the city, but for some of the best head to the barrios of Huertas and La Latina, southeast and southwest of the central Puerta del Sol, respectively.
The penúltimate drink
Madrileños on an evening out, as Ernest Hemingway once said, don't go to bed until they've "killed the night," and in a city with six bars for every hundred people, it's easy to join in the killing. Stroll around any of the central barrios and see what takes your fancy -- La Latina and Huertas are a mix of traditional and contemporary; Malasaña is still rocking as it did when it was the center of La Movida; and Chueca is the city's gay focus, although it extends a welcome to everyone looking for a good time. And bear in mind that Spaniards are too suspicious to ever suggest "one final drink" (in case it really is), so make sure you always recommend having penúltima.

The South Korean city of Busan will bid to host the 2020 Summer Olympics, and will invite the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) capital Pyongyang to join the bid as co-host.
That at least is the wish of the mayor of Busan, Hur Nam-Sik.
He is quoted as saying:
"I would like to unveil the city's ambition here. It is to win the bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics. In principle I am agreed on co-hosting the 2020 Olympics (and) as mayor of Busan I fully intend to have co-hosting".
He added that is would be a "dream" if Pyongyang and Busan could host the event together.

"Annapurna is [a] life-taking mountain," Mingma Sherpa wrote on his expedition page. Located in Nepal, the 10th highest mountain on the planet is known for its frequent and deadly avalanches. They are also quite sudden. Just about 150 people have even tried to climb the summit and about a third of them have died. This is the highest fatality rate.
