Amaechi's govs forum is a trade union – Presidency
The Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak, on Thursday said the Peoples Democratic Party Governors' Forum was established because the leadership of the party became disenchanted with the way the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, ran the Nigerian Governors' Forum.
Gulak said Amaechi ran the NGF as its chairman as a trade union and without having recourse to the laid down party mechanism of resolving issues.
He said this was completely contrary to what the PDP leaders expected from a governor elected on the platform of the party.
The Presidential aide spoke in an interview programme on independent Channels Television.
He said the PDP decided to establish a forum for its governors since the party no longer had influence on the NGF since other parties had governor-members in it.
He said, "The PDP, whether it likes Governor Amaechi to lead the Nigeria Governors' Forum or not, it does not have influence on the forum because other governors are there.
"But what we believe is that the leadership of Amaechi in that forum has completely gone contrary to what PDP expects a PDP governor to do.
"The Nigeria Governors' Forum has really constituted itself as a trade union, some elder statesmen have really come out to explain things in that perspective.
"For instance, about three weeks ago, Prof. Jubril Aminu came out publicly to say the NGF is not supposed to be a trade union. It is supposed to be an association of governors coming together to discuss common challenges in the country, not to hold the country to ransom."
In a reaction, however, the Director-General of the NGF, Dr. Asishana Okauru, on Thursday said the NGF was never run like a trade union, contrary to Gulak's assertion.
"The NGF operates as a policy hub and it is responsible for servicing all the 36 governors across party lines. It (NGF) is not a political association and it is not run like a trade union," he told one of our correspondents in Port Harcourt.
Also, the Rivers State PDP Publicity Secretary, Mr. George Ukwuoma-Nwogba, said it was wrong for anybody to accuse Amaechi of running the forum as a trade union.
Ukwuoma-Nwogba, who described Amaechi as the leader of the governors, stated that only those who lacked the knowledge of administration would conclude that the forum was being run like a trade union.
But Gulak said it had become the practice for the NGF to threaten court actions over little things.
He said, "Small thing, they will threaten to go to court contrary to the mechanism within PDP to solve issues. I hope the leadership of the NGF has not done well in that regard as far as we PDP are concerned.
"Our expectation from any governor from the PDP is to first and foremost explore all avenues within the party mechanism to see how issues and problems are solved."
Gulak said with the way Amaechi was leading the NGF, nobody within the PDP could pretend to be happy with the Rivers governor, whom he said had refused to subject himself to party supremacy.
He said, "I believe and everybody within the PDP, nobody should pretend that we are happy with the leadership of the NGF. We are not happy because of their attitude, because of their refusal to really explore the mechanism within the party.
"We believe that as chairman of the NGF and as a PDP governor and as a member of the PDP, Amaechi should subject himself to the supremacy of the party and the leadership of the party.
"We have our elder statesmen at the Board of Trustees, some issues must be referred to them for discussion and to proffer solutions.
"We believe that the BOT for example is the conscience of the party and the party is supreme and the party can" question anybody.
Gulak wondered why Nigerians should lose sleep because of the emergence of the PDP Governors' Forum led by Governor Godswill Akpabio when governors on the platform of other parties like the Action Congress of Nigeria had been meeting.
He said the establishment of the new forum was one of the ways the PDP was using to strategise to meet up with the challenges that the merging opposition political parties could pose to the ruling party.
He said, "The PDP as a party has decided to have its own Governors' Forum. Why do we have the ACN Governors' Forum for example? The ACN governors, though very few in number, meet from time to time to discuss their party, to discuss their common challenges and aspiration.
"Why should people lose sleep because the PDP as a party has decided to form its governors' forum?
"You are aware that these other political parties, the Congress for Progressive Change, ACN, and All Progressives Grand Alliance recently said they better come together to form another party that will challenge PDP; of course, we encourage them to have a party that will be national in outlook.
"But we cannot sit down as a party to watch them. We have to come back home and strategise and call our governors to strategise.
"Though these people are few in number: the ACN plus CPC plus ANPP is equal to APC is less than the PDP, but we have to strengthen ourselves, move out and continue mobilisation and the good work the PDP as a party has been doing."
On Niger State Governor Babangida Aliyu's claim that Jonathan signed a pact with northern governors to serve for only one term of four years, Gulak insisted that there was no truth in the claim.
According to him, while Aliyu has constitutional right to contest the highest political office in the country, the governor does not have the right to make frivolous allegations.
He said, "There has never been anytime that Mr. President agreed or signed a pact with governors that he will run for one term. There is no agreement like that. Mr. President has not signed any agreement in that regard.
"I have said that if the Niger State Governor has come out to make such an allegation, the fact is if he has an aspiration to be the President, he is serving his second and final term as a governor, he has the constitutional right to do so."

Browse 29 new pics from the Oct. 22 Halloween special for a sneak peek at the madness — and sadness — to come!
ABC Family is delivering Halloween early this year with the Pretty Little Liars special Oct. 22, and to ease our anxiety until then, the network has trick-or-treated us to 29 intense stills from the episode. Along with the girls in costume — of course Spencer (Troian Bellisario) gets the high-necked dress — we also get to see some familiar faces creeping around Ravenswood, including Ezra (Ian Harding), who's all dressed up like an old soldier.
Seriously, though, what is Ezra up to in Ravenswood? When HollywoodLife.com spoke with Ian in August, he told us he's "super-excited" about his character's dark new direction — but we'll have to wait until Oct. 22 to find out exactly what that entails.
Alison In The Open
Speaking of creepers, Alison (Sasha Pieterse) also makes an appearance in this batch of photos. Is she even trying to hide anymore?!
'Haleb' Forever
The Halloween special promises to be spooky — as if you'd expect anything less — but judging by the pics of Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Caleb (Tyler Blackburn), it looks like it's also going to be sad. The look in Hanna's eyes as she says goodbye to her emo prince is straight-up heartbreaking.
'Ravenswood': Meet The Newbies
Speaking of Caleb and Hanna's tragic split, these new pictures also reveal that we'll be seeing several characters from Ravenswood on the Halloween special. We already knew that Miranda (Nicole Anderson) would make an appearance, as she's supposedly Caleb's kindred soul, but Brett Dier's Luke is a nice surprise. I'll be curious to see how his character is woven into the special.
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of these new pics? What are you looking forward to on the Halloween special — and what are you dreading? Drop a comment with your thoughts and theories below!

This and That
But there's also good news from my work life: two of my recent papers "A model for non-singular black hole collapse and evaporation" with Leonardo Modesto and Isabeau Prémont-Schwarz, and "Conservative solutions to the black hole information problem" with Lee Smolin were just accepted for publication in PRD. So now we have to read the proofs. I like that part.
Besides that, I learned recently that the Royal Society has their 350th anniversary this year. They are celebrating the occasion with some open access special issues of the Philosophical Transactions, and they have an interactive timeline marking important papers, eg 1891 the proof that fingerprints are unique. One never stops learning. If you have an interest in the history of science, check this out.
Another news item is that the American Physical Society is giving blogging a try. They've called it "Physics Frontline" and according to their description cover "the latest scientific news, analysis and commentary on the intersection of physics with science policy issues, including innovation, education, energy, climate change, and nuclear policy." Despite presently 7 contributors, blogging is somewhat scarce there. Anyway, I think it's a good idea to provide commentary on science policy from people who actually know what they're talking about, and I thus hope to see somewhat more activity over there in the future.

"The Journey IS the Reward"

"The Path is better than the End"
-- Cervantes
I remember during my PhD research, during the initial "Discovery Process", where I surveyed the entire field & played with various mathematical models (desk was stacked with books from the Math Library). Looked at the clock (1:30am) & wondered "is there an end in sight".
"Victory belong to the Most Persevering"
-- Napoleon
I went with a Top-Down approach: military-model Frontal Assault, looking for a breakthrough. The German Blitzkrieg model looks for a weakness, & pours its armor/troops/air into this "break".
"Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication"
-- Leonardo Da Vinci
After tortuous period, I found the SIMPLE breakthrough geometrical model (& consequent easy computatations, using homogeneous coordinates). It was a breakthrough the field was looking for (m=0 case, previously stuck with no tractable solution, due to solution of simultaneous non-linear algebraic eqns). As followup, it PREDICTED a solution in the next-generation problem (m=1 case). Essentially, I came up with the breakthrough model in 2 weeks. The rest of my PhD was a straightforward execution of papers.

Well first, congrats, Bee. Pre-prints are one thing but published papers are the best. Can we expect Stefan to be writing your Wikipedia entry now?
I suppose you do have more questions than answers as you go over the proofs. All new ideas birth more questions, which give way to more answers, each of which births even more questions, etc. ad infinitim forever. Does it ever stop? No.
I'm personally very curious where theory is headed now with superstrings on the ropes (pun not intended). All this talk of Verlinde and Carroll and the use/mis-use of entropy, aye yai yai. I'm glad to see good old black holes back in the news. I never thought I'd say that. - 6:39 AM, February 12, 2010

Hi Bee,
"But I actually prefer to kill "
This has me to wonder, that within the context of admittedly over simplified and stereotypical gender distinctions if you consider it an act of hunting or rather gathering? That is do you actually consider it as hunting down the solution to a problem to kill it, or rather find a solution to then have it be yours? With you mentioning the upcoming publication of your past two papers in mentioning how you enjoy the proofing of them beforehand, it has me think of this is an aspect of gathering as in respect to proper preparation before storage;-)
Oh yes thanks for pointing to the article regarding the 350th anniversary of Philosophical Transactions as this being one of the earliest of scientific journals with Newton himself being its chief editor for many years along with being head of the Physical Society of which this was actually an extension. I will definitely looked to what can be discovered hear.
I alsohope you get past your being currently stuck, which might suggest some distraction is called for. David Bohm was a firm believer in the usefulness to having your mind come to a state of what he called 'none thought' or full rest. With the most current research indicating our minds function between the region of order and chaos perhaps there's more truth to this than we might think, or rather not think:-)

Hi Phil,
Stefan will have something more to say about the Philosophical Transactions later. I realized too late that I scooped him ;-) To me it's more a gathering, so the comparison wasn't a good one. What I meant to express is simply that while one learns from mistakes, that's ultimately not what you're looking for. Best,
B. - 7:09 AM, February 12, 2010
- Phil Warnell said...
Hi Bee,
Except of course in your case rather than gathering your thoughts it's more of gathering new ones, and thus I hope soon you will find it and as Einstein referred to such things that it be a "happy thought". I also will look forward to Stefan's post as the Philosophical Transactions have a rich and important history.

How black hole without event horizon and singularity is defined? Could it be the Earth, for example?
- 8:33 AM, February 12, 2010
- Bee said...
It has an apparent horizon (or rather in our model and also that of Hayward it has two). That basically means it looks pretty damned like a black hole for a long time and traps light as in the usual case but the horizon is not a global property, ie it doesn't eternally disconnect regions of spacetime. Best,
B. - 8:39 AM, February 12, 2010
- Zephir said...
Well... so how black hole with event horizon could be distinguished from this one with trapped horizon by observation?
Is such model testable/falsifiable physical model - or is it just a numerology? - 8:57 AM, February 12, 2010
- Bee said...
First, if you'd read at least the introduction of the paper you'd maybe recognize why the model is an interesting case study both for the problem of singularity avoidance and black hole information loss. Second, I recommend you read that. Best,
B. - 9:01 AM, February 12, 2010
- Zephir said...
/*..you'd maybe recognize why the model is an interesting case study...*/
IMHO physics differs from math by predictions testable by observations/experiments. And the article referred is about "loop
quantum black hole", not about "black hole with trapped horizon" (Hayward 1994). It even doesn't contain "trapped" word (apparently not a problem for You)...
So far I'm not very sure, you even know, what You're dealing with. Should I therefore expect, my posts will be deleted soon again - or what? - 9:43 AM, February 12, 2010
- Bee said...
Zephir: The article I referred you to is about the same model that my paper with Leonardo and Isabeau is about, believe it or not. So you did a full text search and didn't find the word "apparent." Tough luck, Zephir, but you'll actually have to read the paper to understand it. And yes, if you don't stop making nothing but condescending remarks about topics you evidently don't know shit about, I'll happily delete your comments again. Best,

I am sure after all these discourses on methodology one might have recognized that while considering the "gap of ingenuity" it is not unlikely that "an idea" could enter any mind? Where did that come from? It wasn't there before or was it? You just didn't recognize it maybe? So it's out there then? Where is that?
But sure there is some contention here about chaos in the mind/brain and a possible heat death from such overkill in information gathering that one might have thought of "disorder reigning?"
I am not talking about fever.
I am sorry to say this doesn't as a "heat death" happen in mind. So all the neurons are active? Jiggling mind/brain to prepare?
So in a cooling state consolidation takes place, and a crystallized process unfolds in the function of entropic valuation that we could say that one has concertize something of order in the mind for presentation? Proofs and such, to anchor in reality.
To kill it means to "really change it" and assume the model in question? To have really consumed it. Even if your wrong?:)
So you take a stand based on what you have done, yes, and whether right or wrong, you accept the consequences?:)That's just the learning experience. It wouldn't of amounted to much if it didn't leave an impression and a deep one at that.

Do you think? Which experiment could falsify this? - 10:17 AM, February 12, 2010

Zephir: Which "experiment" could falsify that the paper I referred you to is not about the same model that our recent paper is about? Somebody reading it and noticing that the equations are not the same? Really, Zephir, what's your problem? Best,

General Notes
- Players in full pads
- Practice ran 2 hours and 40 minutes
- Kerley, Davis, Otah, White & Campbell working to the side with trainers.
This is totally my opinion but from watching Otah move I'll be shocked if he
doesn't pass his physical. He has no limp, wrap or brace on his knee and he
was doing his conditioning run with no problem. But I'm no doctor
- Landry was dressed but was held out of practice today
- Coach Dunbar was cross-teaching the LB's on how to improve their pass
rush moves
- Coach DeGuglielmo (OLine) went "old school" today making the OLine push
him on the blocking sled 40 yards downfield during warmups
- To keep the offense moving at a fast tempo I noticed Sparano has them on
a 25 second clock instead of a 40 second one
- Something new that I've noticed the defense is now running more
"coordinated coverage" drills. Instead of the LB's and DB's working on
coverage by themselves now everyone (DL, LB & DB) works on pass
coverage as a unit
- Westhoff was installing his fake punt package with Tebow today (draws,
jump passes)
- A lot of mixing and matching in the personnel groupings today. Also a lot
of reps for the #2's and #3's
- One four man nickel look had Maybin, Wilkerson, Coples & Pace on the front
Player Notes
- Maybin had a great day today. Constantly in the backfield for "sacks" or
"tackles for loss"
- The two drafted safeties (Bush & Allen) flashed today. Bush showed good
range covering from the middle of the field to the sideline. And Allen
showed good anticipation with two INT's
- Cromartie and Wilson had a good days in coverage
- Sapp flashed today with a "pressure" and "tackle for loss" he also showed
excellent closing speed tackling Powell on the sideline
- I saw why Rex mentioned Schlauderaff yesterday. As a center he's
showing an excellent ability to "stone" defenders and even when he gets
beaten he's able to redirect and maintain his block
- Kroul was impressive in 1 on 1 drills against the DLine
- Wilkerson, Coples and Ellis were impressive in 1 on 1 drills against the
- You saw the inconsistency of Hunter today. In one rep against Pace he
ducks his head and Pace flys by him. Then DeGuglielmo makes him take his
rep again and you see his talent when he stones Pace
- The star RB today was Powell. A 40 yard off tackle "TD" run and he also
showed the willingness to run between the tackles
- McKnight also showed toughness staying between the tackles and running
- Ray Webber a WR also flashed today he had a nice one handed TD grab
(30 yds) from McElroy

The answer to the question in the headline is at the very least "not yet." Based on these clips from Friday's (Jan. 13) episode of "Chuck," though, Chuck (Zachary Levi) and Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) are certainly thinking about becoming just everyday civilians.
In the first video below, Sarah tells Chuck that she wants to stop being a spy — which, given where she was when we first met her, is an absolutely huge leap for her. She has a litany of reasons for wanting to get out, and they all seem pretty logical to us.
Convincing Casey (Adam Baldwin), however, is another matter. Chuck seems to be talking about turning Carmichael Industries toward more corporate clients, but the colonel is not convinced, even when Sarah drily notes, "You get shot a lot."
"Not considering how much I get shot at," Casey retorts.
Morgan (Joshua Gomez) plays the Alex card, though, and Casey seems to come around to the idea. We're guessing that none of what they're talking about will be all that simple, because if it were, it wouldn't be "Chuck." Take a look for yourself:

cable & box terminal with alpair 7.3
hello ,
I am starting a project with alpair 7.3 which I will present it in the forum as soon as I have some carpenter work done. First of all I would like to know what kind/size/maximum length of cable is suitable 1) to connect the driver with the speaker terminal 2) the speaker terminal with the amp Secondly what kind of speaker terminals are best? maybe I would prefer something for thin banana plugs thanks noPiano |

"best"? - no such thing - or rather you'll never get a consensus, but my -Inside the enclosure, I'd never use any thing but a soldered connection at both the driver and enclosure terminals - Since we tend to swap speakers around a lot for demo / comparisons, a quick change connector is very handy, and we use cheap/low mass 5-way binding posts with 3/4" spacing that accommodates molded banana plugs (Pomona, etc), but can be very awkward if you're a fan of big spade terminals. - Considering the amount of current draw by full range drivers such as the Alpair 7.3, the length of internal connection required, as well as the size of the voice coil conductors, it doesn't make sense to me to use anything larger than #20 inside the box (in fact I've been using #24 solid from CAT5 network for over 10yrs - it's dirt cheap and more than capable) - While many of the more charitable forum contributors might be willing to grand the above point (with a smug grin of "but I know better, of course") , from the amp to the speaker enclosure is a different story- expect no mercy and plenty of energy spent on debating the merits of everything from #32 solid magnet wire to #2 welding cable , exotic braiding topologies and/more materials. I generally use the same #24 solid for runs shorter than 10ft, and nothing more elaborate than cheap #18 stranded from my local Home Depot let the games begin

Hi Guys,
11 emails in the last 2 days asking me to comment on what I use when testing drivers and on my home system. I've found Sommer AW16 gauge 1.5mm NYFAZ cable (Germany) works well. Its available in HK at moderate prices as allot of the pro audio guys use this brand. sommer cable - Kabel Stageboxen Multicoresysteme Mikrofonkabel Stagebox Lautsprecherkabel XLR Stecker Gitarrenkabel Instrumentenkabel Neutrik Hicon Cable similar to the quality of Sommer should be fine. I was given some very expensive exotic cables to test some years back, but couldn't detect any additional audible benefit. Cheers Mark |

For my newly built dMar-Kel70TeN I have slaughtered a Cat5 internet cable and took four strands, two per speaker. It sounds good to me, and it's incredibly cheap since you can find Cat5 cables pretty much for free.

The terminals we use most of the time, have the cups on the right with the 5-way posts on the left... the plastic nuts have less metal & we prefer them.

how could I? easy -the OP was referencing using Alpair 7.3 - as best as I could parse from his post, a single per enclosure, not in a multi-way, so I don't think questions relating to gauges of wires in XO components is particularly relevant but really, aren't there better issues about which to exercise ones' self? I guess we'll soon see

Essay Contest 2012 Third Place, Junior Entry
Timothy Lotter, 7th Grade
Teacher: Mr. Paul Nelson
School: Endeavor Charter Academy
Preserving 150 Years of History: 1861-1862, the War Commences
A wave of blue-clad men sweep over a hill, hopelessly charging against a ridge. From that ridge, grey-clad men emerge seemingly from the ground and pour volley after volley of musket and rifle fire into the oncoming blue-clads. The blue men scatter, their morale broken, their dead left behind, as another wave of blue-clads sweep toward the grays. This can describe two well-known battles in 1862.
September 17, 1862. Antietam, Maryland. As the battle erupts with three main fronts, both sides prove their worthiness of victory. In the end, the Confederates scrape a draw due only the timely arrival of A.P. Hill from Harper's Ferry. This is a very important battle, because it stopped Lee's invasion and McClellan was fired and replaced by Burnside.
December 13, 1862. Fredericksburg, Virginia. Ambrose Burnside's great mud march, followed by his clumsy crossing of the Rappahannock River, greatly gave his army a morale drop, and when the time came to attack Confederate positions upon Marye's Heights, Burnside's already obvious incompetence shines bright. Division after Division charged the wall, and Division after Division was cut down by over-powering Confederate volleys. Over twelve thousand Union men died in the assault, but only five thousand Confederates died in the defense.
These two battles have many things in common. One, they both get a Union commander fired. Two, they both had bloody, costly Union charges against hardened Confederates. However, these battles also have one big difference. Today, when you walk down the Bloody Lane, you see it roughly how it was back in 1862. However, when you walk down Marye's Heights now and see where Burnside came from, two hundred feet in front of you is an area of modern development—houses, cars, roads and people—not at all what it was like in 1862. This development makes understanding how the battle was experienced much more difficult.
Why is this? The fact is, at Marye's Heights, less than twenty acres have been preserved. At Antietam, over 10,000 acres have been preserved. The more acres that are preserved, the less modern development butts in and takes over the ground that our great-grandfathers and their fathers died on for the unity of this Country. Why should we protect this land? It is where thousands of men died valiantly to save the unity of this Country. It is a part of our heritage and without it things could be very different today.
Overall, we need to protect our battlefields and our history because they are our heritage. If your great-grandfather or great-great-grandfather died protecting something, wouldn't you want to save that in memory of him and the others? It is our heritage and we MUST defend it.

Reichert forces OT, Puskarich buries winner as Langley splits road trip
Jakob Reichert scored late and Mario Puskarich buried the double overtime winner as the Langley Rivermen salvaged a split on their weekend road trip.
The junior A hockey club won 3-2 on Saturday in Salmon Arm, one night after a 2-1 loss in Merritt to the Centennials.
"For the most part, the guys competed really hard," said coach Bobby Henderson.
"They showed pretty good resilience.
"The guys didn't get discouraged and just kept playing hard."
In both games, the Rivermen had the advantage when it came to shots on goal, but unfortunately, their efforts were not rewarded on the first night as they ran into a hot goaltender in Tyler Steel, who turned aside 41 of the 42 shots he faced. That included some grade A scoring chances such as back-to-back breakaways.
"We had our chances, we just couldn't get the job done," Henderson said.
"We ran into a hot goalie."
The lone goal to beat Steel came on the power play, and with the goaltender on the bench for another extra attacker, as Evan Campbell ruined the shutout with 47 seconds remaining.
Merritt led thanks to goals from Brandon Bruce and Derek Huisman, both of which came in the second period.
James Barr was no slouch in the Langley goal either as he turned aside 36 of the 38 shots he faced.
Saturday in Salmon Arm was much of the same as the Rivermen were playing from behind.
Jason Trott opened the scoring for the Silverbacks in the first with a short-handed goal.
In the second, Trevor Cope tied things up at one before Salmon Arm's Evan Schwalbe — on the power play — restored the hosts advantage.
Cope's goal came on a fluke play as Aaron Dolby's shot hit Cope's stomach and deflected past Colin Dzijacky. The goal extended Cope's point streak to six games.
And it looked like the Rivermen were on their way to defeat before Langley cashed in on their third power play chance, and with the goalie on the bench, of the period to force overtime.
Reichert took a pass from Bo Pellah on the wing, made a strong power move to the back-hand and lifted a shot to the top corner past Colin Dzijacky.
And after neither team could score four-on-four, the game went to double overtime and three-on-three. Both sides had glorious chances to score with the goalies standing on their heads to extend the game.
One shift after Barr stretched across to rob a sure goal, the Rivermen rewarded their goalie as Campbell found Puskarich behind the defence. And the sniper made no mistake, blistering a wrist shot blocker-side for the winner.
Langley (3-2-0-1) is at home for a pair of games this weekend, both against the Prince George Spruce Kings (4-1-1-0). The teams play Saturday at 7:15 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
There are many questions about the health care exchanges: What will they look like, how will they operate and is there a benefit in going to the exchange for health insurance? While there are some states that are still deciding, the deadline for enactment is rapidly approaching. Below is some key information to educate you in how they work, and what they don't have to determine if they are the option for you.
- What are the exchanges? Exchanges, expected to launch on October 1, 2013, are online marketplaces where consumers can go to shop for health insurance and compare plan coverages and costs to see which plans are going to work best for them.
- Who are the exchanges targeted to? The exchanges will be available to both small business owners and individuals. Any individual / business owner will have the opportunity to choose to either buy from the exchange in their state (whether it is a state or federal exchange) or to continue to buy health insurance from a private health insurance carrier.
- What exactly does the exchange offer? - The exchanges will offer health insurance plans in 4 tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum). The object of the exchanges is to offer health insurance plans that are easily comparable in terms of coverage, services and price.
- Do exchanges help address the cost of health insurance? Exchanges will offer tax credits to individuals and small businesses to purchase health insurance, but they do not help to fundamentally lower the cost of health insurance today. All available tax credits do lower the amount of money that an individual or small business owner may pay for health insurance, but premiums are still expected to increase at a rate of at least 20% for small business and may exceed 100% for individuals.
- Do I have to purchase insurance through the exchanges? No, health care exchanges are being created as another avenue to purchase health insurance, and will not be the only way to purchase health insurance. The private market place will still be available to all consumers and will offer qualified health plans to make sure you are in compliance with reform legislation.
Given this information, many are trying to decide as to whether the exchanges are going to be the right option for them. The exchanges are another avenue to price out coverage; however, there are a number of important points to consider why they may not be right for you:
- Experience - The exchanges are brand new and do not have the management experience that the private health insurance carriers do. Individuals do not yet know how to navigate them, what the customer service experiences will be like, and how their renewals will be serviced. All of these are vital to policy holders in terms of offering coverage and managing cost.
- Loss History - Being that there is no loss history, there is no indication as to what future pricing may look like. Most carriers are able to forecast pricing and change plans based on previous history. Without this information, it is difficult to say what pricing will look like in future years.
- Ancillary Services - Most small group carriers offer dental, vision, disability and life insurance in addition to medical coverage. These are popular affordable coverages that many business owners offer to their staff in one complete affordable package, but would be unable to do so through the exchange.
- Broker Relationship - Many small business owners value the relationship with their broker or business services providers. While select brokers will be able to access state exchanges, small business owners still need a trusted advisor to break down the differences between plans offered on the exchanges and their private market plans to see what is the best option for the business owner.
- Multi State Plan Implementation – Any small business owner that has a multi-state health insurance plan knows that obtaining coverage for employees and sub contractor's in multiple states can be complicated. Keeping in mind participation requirements, carrier networks, and the ability for carriers to write in the required states, there is a lot of confusion as to how exchanges will be able to write plans for small groups with multi-state businesses.

Aquarium 'n Stuff in Cupertino I have a 29 gallon aquarium with fish, a filter, a heater, thermometer, food samples/IAL samples, a piece of driftwood with some Fissidens moss growing on it, and some plants. I also have a LED light, but because the hood broke, you may need to hang or something. I also have a platy pair, Apistogramma male, and a Sterbai catfish to sell. The fish are all healthy, and feed on dry foods. The Apistogramma is hardy, and will accept dry food, but only good quality. That's why I'm sending some Omega One food with him. It'll need to be crushed though. For everything listed, I'd like to get around $85. The plants are some crypts, some salvinia, a sprig or two of pennywort, and Philodendron cuttings that have been growing in water for 2 months. The plants aren't doing as well, because they haven't transitioned well, but they can restored to their former glory. I'd like this to go out all at once. I live in Cupertino now, not in San Diego. Cash only (trades are ok too) and local pickup only. Please email for questions and more pics. Thank you! |

So, I needed something to search a string in one text file, and compare it with a string in a second text file. If there is a match, I need to print the results to a new text file. So, because I'm new to Perl, but have a programming background, I figured this would be fairly easy, even if I'm not fluent with the language. Rather than get into the nitty-gritty about the details, I'll just show you what I did starting off:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 | #!/usr/bin/perl -w open(in1, "phones.dat"); $counter = 1; while(<in1>) # </in1> { $phone2 = substr($_, 0, 10); print "Match: 0" . "\r"; open(in2, "/kdata/2006/1514/data/P1514.FIN"); while(<in2>) #</in2> { $phone1 = substr($_, 1384, 10); if($phone1 == $phone2) { print "Match: " . $counter . "\r"; $counter++; } } close(in2); } print "\n"; close(in1); |
As you can see, this is a very inefficient algorithm. If "phones.dat" is n-lines long, and "P1514.FIN" is m-lines long, then for every n-record, I am looking at EVERY m-record. This means, my search algorithm is O(n*m). Now, I'm going to say, that this works for small files. Looking at "phones.dat" which only has 330 lines, and "P1514.FIN" which only has 500 lines, what am I worried about? It takes less than a second to execute the code, and spit out the result. Heh. If only every file I dealt with was that small. Today, I was looking at two files that had about 12,000 lines. It took ~20 seconds to finish the script. Still, not really a length that I have to be concerned about, but I can make it better.
First, thanks go to Levi Pearson and Jason Hall for helping me realize the errors of my ways. I can increase the efficiency of the algorithm greatly by using hashes. In fact, I can take the order of the algorithm to O(n+m) by only traversing each file only once. Here's the code I came up for that:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 | #!/usr/bin/perl -w open(in, "P1514.FIN"); while(<in>) # </in> { chomp; my $layout = '@1384 A10'; my $number = unpack $layout, $_; $Phone{$number} = $_; } close(in); open(in, "p1514.afo"); $counter = 0; while(<in>) #</in> { my $layout = '@0 A10'; my $number = unpack $layout, $_; if ($Phone{$number}) { print "Match: " . $counter . "\r"; $counter++; } } print "\n"; close(in); |
In this case, "P1514.FIN" still has the 500 lines it used to have, and "p1514.afo" has well over 12,000. Executing the code is actually faster than previous. We should expect this as rather than traversing the m-file n times making my comparison, I traverse each file only once. The first file to store the key and value in a hash, and the second file to make the comparison. The only thing that may make the program a bit more efficient, would be to store the smaller of the two files in the hash, and use the larger of the two for comparing against the hash. But really, in that case, we're just concerned about memory, which isn't a worry for me.
The funny thing about this little programming example? I'm applying what I've learned in Discrete Math to a very real everyday problem. And who'd-a-thunk that any of the stuff was important?! 🙂

Last night, coming back from backpacking I was driving up our driveway. About 100 yards up and there was a large mountain lion right in front of me , now running on the road. I sped up ( not going to run it over..) and followed closely behind for almost 100 yards before it jumped to the side in the meadow np below the cabin. I had my headlights right on it the whole time.
I have seen a few in the last 10 years and this was the largest. The tail was probably 4 feet long and a diameter of 4 inches ( hair and all). Very exciting.
Now, less jogging down the road for my daughter.Sep 3, 2013 at 11:37 am #2021339That's very cool! And a bit, ummmmmmm, scary? Too bad you didn't get a pic, but I'd certainly be a bit anxious running near the house now!
Really, the EXACT same thing happened to me here! Only it was a squirrel. But a mean looking squirrel! Equally scary in these parts!
Sep 3, 2013 at 11:39 am #2021340Katharina,
Where do you live?
Sep 3, 2013 at 11:40 am #2021341Doug,
That's very cool! And a bit, ummmmmmm, scary? Too bad you didn't get a pic, but I'd certainly be a bit anxious running near the house now!
Sep 3, 2013 at 11:46 am #2021343Everything happened too fast to even think about taking out my camera. It was dark, so I had to be close with headlights on. The lion was running fast and I would have lost it the moment I did anything g other than keep driving. A video would have been even better….I could see it's whithers as it ran up the steep hill. Big paws. I did not get a good look of the head.
I live north of the town of Davenport, California. Off a road called Swanton rd. There have been many, many sightings around here in the last few years. I just found out that my neighbor saw the same cat night before last less than half a mile from where I saw it.
That squirrel Doug,must have been something else!!
Sep 3, 2013 at 11:47 am #2021344Seeing it was not scary at all, just exciting.
Jogging along a steep road with steep sides, all alone, that is going to be a little unnerving.Sep 3, 2013 at 12:53 pm #2021366I was hoping for a post on batteries.
Sep 3, 2013 at 1:28 pm #2021378>I was hoping for a post on batteries.
Heh. Its funny because I'm a nerd.
Cool, Kat. I'd love to see a lion (from a safe distance, of course.) Be careful!
Sep 3, 2013 at 4:27 pm #2021437Last Friday, another neighbor had probably the same mountain lion go up their deck and grab their small dog by the head. They saw it from the sliding door and yelled and the cat dropped the dog, leaving it pretty badly hurt. I just heard about this a couple of hours ago.
Sep 3, 2013 at 6:07 pm #2021490Regarding the OP, that sounds exciting and unsettling since it was near your house. Hope your neighbor's dog is ok.
Sep 3, 2013 at 8:43 pm #2021558Crikes!
After we finished our AK trip, my wife traveled for another couple of weeks without me and went to AZ, UT, and some other places. She couch surfed with this sort of hippy guy in UT who had a crap load of land, lived in a strawbale type house and had a Yurt about a quarter mile away.
She was staying in the Yurt. Anyways, late at night walking back to the Yurt from his house, now fairly close to the Yurt she could see/sense/hear something moving some 15 feet or so away. Being the adventuress and rather fearless Lass she is, she went into the Yurt, got a flash light and went back out to investigate.
Not far from where she originally seen something, shining the flash light she first saw eyeshine a few feet or so up, and then noticed the ears, and started to realize it was a mountain lion staring back at her, but continuing to shine her light, further down she sees a mini version of the first one, "oh crap, a mother mountain lion and her cub" So she slowly walked backwards back to the Yurt. Part of me wishes i had been there, and another part of me is glad i wasn't…

Hey... wanted some quick advice. I am right now sitting on approx. 250 USD and am willing to spend on a set of portable cans.
Now, I've read over this forum and across the internet that the HD25-1 II are near indestructible and are good for portable use. That said, the country which I am in is charging a 40% import duty on these and is pushing up the cost up from $199 to approx. $280.
On the other hand, I am getting the Shure SRH-840 for $200 (which is obviously more attractive from a money point of view). So here's the Q: If i do get the 840's, what do I stand to loose/gain in terms of sound quality? Secondly, would anyone here recommend the srh-840's for a daily commute? I am reasonably sure about the build quality of the hd-25-1 II, but what about the shures?
Am open to suggestions for other shures (440 and 940 as well).
The 840 is a great choice and is better sonically than the HD25 in that it sound more tonally correct, more balanced, bigger soundstage and better imaging (mostly due to the fact that it's not supraaural and has bigger drivers). Both headphones have great detail retrieval and instrument separation. The biggest difference in their presentations is that the 840 is smooth and laidback while the HD25 has a more energetic aggressive sound which could be fun for many genres. That all said while the 840 may be suitable for portability for some, it still will never be as portable as the HD25. When you keep the bulkiness of a full size and coiled cable in mind - in comparison the HD25 is as light as a feather on the head, only difference is that it clamps more so it maybe uncomfortable for some not for me though. The HD25 also isolates better.
IMO I would say get the HD25 if you want a truly portable headphone - so portable you can run around with it and it won't even slide off your head. I would use the 840 at home. Anyway this is just my opinion. If you feel the 840 may be portable enough for you, then that's great.y advice would be to audition both headphones and get a feel for them.
Agreed, the SRH840 sound better but are not really portable. If the springy coiled up cable was replaced with a shorter non-coiled cable they might be a bit more portable, but I don't know if anyone makes an aftermarket cable for the Shure.

- - Getting a new dog, need some advise
Getting a new dog, need some advise A friend of mine is getting his house re-possesed and he has nothing to do with his dog, so he's giving him to me. It's a 2 year old German Shepard. The dog was house trained but then moved outside about a year or so ago. Also he's always been inside a chain-link fence. I'm hoping he should figure out the house training without too much trouble, what does everyone think? Also I have an underground electric fence for my dog now, I wonder if being 2 years old I'll have problems with training him? I worked with mine when he was a puppy with it, I'm not too sure about training an older dog to it. I'm going to try to get him trained so I can leave him inside or out and not have problems. |
You can teach an old dog new tricks |
Yeah, I saw that coming. I've been thinking about it more, I don't think it'll be too bad. It's just that for over a year the dog has been in a fenced in yard in the city, I hope he adjusts well to being out here. |
:-)German Shepherds are very smart - I don't think you'll have any problems at all. We had an older Doberman and moved to a new house. We put an underground fence in and worked with him, as you would with any puppy or dog (with the flags), and in a short time he adjusted beautifully! I would think that if the dog was house trained, even if he's been outside for a time, it shouldn't take you any time to re-adjust him to that either - especially a Shepherd. Best of luck!! |
Train to the electric fence the same as you do with a puppy, but be aware, depending on the Shepherd's prey drive it might be some time before you can trust him with it. While a lot of the herding instinct has been lost in GSDs, they tend to still have an extremely active prey drive, which is instinctual and will sometimes overcome their reasoning abilities in terms of no visual barriers: ie. a rabbit runs through the yard, he might not stop at the boundaries chasing it. They are smart dogs though, you should be able to get him trained to it! Note also if he isn't neutered and has been an outside dog, housebreaking in terms of marking can be difficult. If not already done, I'd make neutering him first order of business! |
You might want to get one of the bigger collars for the German Shepard. I had a cocker spaniel that the collar worked fine on. But, I also had a Great Pyrenese that it didn't work at all on. The contacts were too small to get through all the hair. The same with my old Border Collie. I got the bigger collar that they put out, and it kept both of them in fine. Both of them would run through it without even being phased by it. Even with the beeper warning. They didn't care. Got the bigger box for the collar itself, and they would come to a dead stop when the warning beep went off. Just a suggestion. |
Good idea with the bigger collar, I didn't even think of that. I'll have to work with him about going hunting, hopefully he figures out not to run through the fence. I'm not sure if he's neutered or not, I'll have to ask. My friend was supposed to bring him out this morning but I don't know what happened, I can't get ahold of him. I'm just going to chain him up while I'm at work and try to train him when I'm home. Hopefully he figures it out quick, I hate leaving an animal on a chain. |
Time, patience, repeat. Fence training twice a day and never let him cross anywhere except at the "gate". For the house training, if you can buy or borrow a kennel, I have found that to be the most effective way of complete house training -- not just the bathroom training. He is a big dog, so he must always know you have full power. I would advise teaching him not to be greedy with his food. He should be fed twice a day to his needs. There shouldn't be anything left in his bowl when he is finished, nor should he be hungry. Make him sit while you dish it up and he can only approach the food when you say so. No matter how long it takes -- 1 minute, 5 minutes or 1/2 an hour. Put food in, take it out, put it in again -- so he sees and understands that it is, in the end, YOUR food, and you are only being nice to share with him. Never let him jump up on you or anyone else. EVER. He can and will easily hurt a child, or an injured/frail adult. I have a rotti-shepherd that I got when he was about 16 months old. He lived on a chain and didn't even know his name in his previous home. He was smart. With 15 minute dedicated training sessions twice daily he learned the basics within a month. During the rest of the day, rules were reinforced but not specifically taught. He is now 13 years old, has cataracts, is mostly deaf, can't smell much but he has NEVER been a problem. Oh -- and it's always a good idea to incorporate hand signals with your voice commands. That's often the only way our old dog now understands what we want. I also taught our dog that when he went somewhere he wasn't supposed to I would tell him by saying "bad grass" "bad road" "bad car" -- anything but "bad dog". I wanted him to associate the "bad" with the whatever the current action or place was. Ha - I forgot, I even taught him to "go bathroom" only in the long grass! It was great. Not anymore though -- he's too old. Good luck and be consistent and firm. 2 years old is definitely not too old to learn. He will adapt; how well depends how much security he finds at his new home. |
My Barn Owners dogs never leave his property unless they're with someone. He has a two year old Pyrenees that he got as a puppy who is a guard dog, and a 5 year old golden retriever he brought home when he sold some horses. Neither have collars, they just know not to leave. I dont know if he ever trained the Pyrenees, but she never goes more than half way down the driveway, and I don't think he trained the retriever at all she just stays in the yard at all times, unless she's riding on the sleigh. |

Coldwater school officials working to follow Title IX
Civil rights complaint was filed by parents of the former girls' gymnastic program
COLDWATER - School officials say they are working to follow the guidelines and requirements set forth under a federal Title IX ruling - a 1972 gender anti-discrimination law that applies to educational entities that get federal funding.
Last May, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights investigated Coldwater Exempted Village Schools and made several recommendations for compliance. According to the ruling, Coldwater must complete a series of assessments of its athletic programs.
A civil rights complaint was filed in June of 2005 under Title IX by parents of the girls' gymnastic team after the program was cut. Officials said the team was dropped due to a lack of local opponents to compete against, in addition to excessive travel to competitions.
During the regular board meeting this week, Superintendent Rich Seas said the administration - working simultaneously with civil rights attorneys Tracy Ext and Denise Vaughn - has created an implementation timeline that adheres to the directives issued by the Feds.
The chronological timeline shows how the Coldwater administration is addressing the mandates, which includes accommodating the athletic interest and abilities of its female high school students.
"We've been dealing with it," Seas told board members this week. "We've come up with an implementation plan."
To date the school has done or will soon do the following:
• An additional female coach was employed work with the girls' cross country team on Aug. 1, 2006.
• A student survey, to assess interest in sports either currently or not currently being offered, was distributed to those in grades 8-1 in September of 2006.
• A freshman girls' basketball team was added on Nov. 1, 2006 due to sufficient number of athletes.
• A second junior varsity softball team was added on Feb. 1, 2007 due to sufficient numbers.
• The board of education will discuss the school's policy of adding and deleting sports on March 27, 2007.
Starting May 7, 2007, the school will report to OCR each six months, on May 7 and Nov. 6 through Nov. 6, 2008, concerning its progress to date in completing the actions indicated in its plan until it is fully implemented.
"It is what it is," Seas said about Title IX. "I see some truth in what's been said ... we're going do the right thing."
The Feds, according to Seas, said Coldwater would not have been in compliance with the law even if officials had kept the gymnastics program.
Seas told the board members that even though many females participate in both band and cheerleading, these activities do not county toward Title IX compliance rules.
"Title IX does not help female athletes," board member Joe Eichler commented during the discussion. He said it simply takes away from boys' sports.
Seas said it is not the intention of the Feds to take away from boys' sports. He told the board the school must comply with the law, regardless of long athletic tradition.

Official Title: | Randomized, Open, Prospective, Multicenter Pilot Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Activated Recombinant Factor VII in Acute Intracerebral Haemorrhage in Patients Treated With Oral Anticoagulants or Antiplatelets Agents. |
- EFFICACY: change in ICH volume from prior to dosing to 24 hours
- SAFETY: occurrence of clinical adverse events (Thromboembolic events, death)
- Difference between groups on the modified Rankin Scale, the Barthel Index (BI), the Extended Glasgow Scale (EGCS), and the National Institute of Health's Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at one and three month follow up
Estimated Enrollment: | 32 |
Study Start Date: | September 2005 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | September 2006 |
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the deadliest, most disabling, and least treatable form of stroke. Approximately 40% of patients die within 1 month of ICH onset, and two-thirds of survivors never regain functional independence. Though guidelines for supportive care exist, there is currently no treatment that has been shown in a randomized-controlled trial to definitely improve outcome after ICH. Hematoma volume is a critical determinant of mortality and functional outcome after ICH, and early hematoma growth may be an important cause of early neurological deterioration.
Considerable clinical interest has been given to the relationship between antiplatelet and antithrombotic treatment and ICH.
The reported incidence of major bleeding events in patients undergoing antithrombotic treatment is 5-11/1,000 patients/year, while the overall range of hemorrhages is about 62/1,000 patients/year.In the patients treated with antithrombotic drugs (oral anticoagulants or antiplatelets agent) the incidence rate of ICH has been shown higher than in the general population. Moreover, the mortality rate for both spontaneous and post-traumatic events is higher in antithrombotic treated patients than in controls. [14,15] rFVIIa has been successfully used to control ICH in patients with hemophilia or other coagulation disorders, and can arrest intraoperative bleeding and reverse coagulopathies in patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures.[19] rFVIIa has also been reported to prevent or minimize refractory bleeding in non-coagulopathic patients.

Since we know what makes us tick, we can take our ideology and put it into practice by defining a working process that works for us and our clients.
Discovery is the process that we use to clarify objectives, identify preferences, uncover potential marketing and business solutions, discuss goals, and analyze overall needs for a project. By interviewing you via our client survey and researching your market we will come to know who you are, who your competition is and where you sit in your market. This will allow us to create solid business objectives and market strategies that will work for you and your business.
Information Design
It comes as no surprise that every website is built on information. However, the information structure on which your website is built can make or break even the best of intentions. Analyzing data collected during the discovery phase of your project will help us to create a solid information architecture that your audience can easily understand, navigate and find the page of information that they are looking for.
Content Design
Knowing where your information will be placed in the overall structure of your website is a start, but it is definitely not the finish. If each page of your website follows the laws of user centered design principles your audience will be able to find what they are looking for easily. To do so the content design of each page needs to be carefully analyzed and designed so your audience will feel like it has been tailored to them.
Visual Design
The visual impact of your website needs to speak about who you are through color choices, typography and imaging. The principles of visual design state that these choices are not random. A well thought out and appropriate look and feel to your website will allow the user to feel comfortable while visiting your website much like you feel comfortable in your own home because of the interior decorating choices you have made.
Production & Development
A well produced and developed website takes into account the best coding practices. All of our websites are built to the guidelines as set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium. To guarantee quality assurance, we make sure that we thoroughly test all pages and applications to ensure functionality across multiple platforms and browsers.
Case Study: A Web Design & Development Project Workflow that Works »
In my work as a web design and development professional, I have found that without a very visible and cooperative project workflow that involves both the client and the user through the many phases of the project, I would not be able to design or build a website that anyone would benefit from.

Tools Used in the SLAM Project Areas
Girdled Ash Trees | Systemic Insecticide Injections
Girdled Ash Trees as a Survey Tool
By Steve Katovich, USDA Forest Service
The SLAM project primarily uses girdled ash trees to delineate and monitor EAB populations. Scientists have learned that EAB beetles are much more attracted to stressed ash trees than to healthy ash trees.
How do you "stress" an ash tree?
Trees can be easily stressed by removing a band of bark around the circumference of the tree trunk in the spring time before adult beetles have emerged. These "girdled" trees emit a number of chemical compounds into the air that adult beetles are attracted to. EAB adults prefer to feed on the leaves of stressed ash trees and more importantly, female beetles are much more likely to lay eggs on these trees than on healthy trees. So, girdled ash trees are the best survey tool available to delimit the boundaries of a known EAB population, especially a population that is relatively new to an area and still at very low levels.
Eggs hatch into larvae, then each individual larva quickly chews a tunnel (called a "gallery") under the bark. In fall, the girdled trees are felled and the bark is carefully peeled off. The S-shaped galleries of EAB are very distinctive and generally confirm that the tree is infested. If no galleries are found then it is assumed that EAB has not yet spread into the area around that tree. If larvae are present, their developmental stage is determined and the numbers found in each tree are recorded. Scientists can use data from girdled trees to evaluate the density and potential growth of the EAB population in the area.
More information can be found on this weblink: http://www.na.fs.fed.us/fhp/eab/survey/eab_handout.pdf
and in these publications:
Systemic Insecticide Injections – One Option Used in the SLAM Pilot Project
Systemic insecticides are one option for controlling populations of emerald ash borer (EAB). A systemic insecticide is a product that is injected into the tree, typically at the base of the trunk. The tree transports the insecticide up the trunk and out to branches and leaves. The insecticide product controls adult EAB beetles when they feed on the leaves and may also control the larvae feeding under the bark.* Trunk injections with systemic insecticides reduce exposure for applicators. There is no drift, a problem that frequently occurs when insecticides are sprayed onto trees. Because the insecticide is contained within the tissues of the trees, insects that do not feed on the treated tree will not be affected. A systemic insecticide sold as TREE-¨Age™ is currently used in the SLAM Pilot Project. This product has been tested in research studies conducted in Michigan and Ohio. Results indicate it provides highly effective control of EAB for at least 2 years.
(see http://www.emeraldashborer.info/files/Multistate_EAB_Insecticide_Fact_Sheet.pdf) This product must be applied by professionals.Researchers test the effectiveness of systemic injections in ash trees versus other methods of control.
* SLAM treatments are not necessarily done for long-term protection of individual trees. Rather, trees are injected to create trees that are toxic to EAB so that we can try and keep the local EAB population at low levels. If homeowners or local landowners want to protect their tree long-term, they will need to retreat trees in the future.

Just got a Miller Bluestar 2E AC/DC that was not welding or generating AC output traced it down to the Rheostat Replaced it and it is welding and generating power but now the engine does not rev up when trying to strike an arc for it to start a weld. The solenoid is working because I tried it by applying 12v directly and it does actuate and also to weld for now I flip the idle on and off to make it rev up to weld. Does PC1 control the reving up as well asthe idle down? Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
No announcement yet.
Miller Bluestar 2E Not Reving up
A unit SN is needed to assure referring to the correct control schematic but you should have a low AC voltage (1-2 volts) at PC1 terminals F and H when welding.
If not, current transformer CT1 may be defective. If yes, then idler control board PC1 is likely defective.

Thread: Unlocking question
Unlocking question
I am planning on replacing my HSF tonight or tomorrow and want to be sure of what bridges should be closed/open so I don't have to keep taking the HSF off.
1. If I understand correctly, I should make sure that all the L1 bridges are connected and that the 1st, 3rd, and 5th L3 bridge are open, right?
2. Which one will give me the high multiplier and which one will give me the low?
3. Is a #2 pencil still sufficient to bridge an open gap I need to bridge?
4. How do I know which pins on the bottom to bridge so I can us a small wire to bridge the jumpers? (Mainly for removeability, seen the "how-to" on tomshardware.com but didn't say which pins for which bridges)
5. Can anyone give a good starting point for OC'ing my PC2700 Crucial Ram?
- Join Date
- Apr 2003
The 2800+ Barton chip that you have is already factory unlocked, you just need to change the multiplier in the bios, that is, if your Soyo board allows it. If not, search for a newer (or user-hacked) bios that allows you to change it. I don't know much about Soyo boards, though, so I'm not certain it's possible...
You can hard-code the multiplier with the bridges... but do you really want to do that on a 2800+ barton? I'd rather increase the fsb personally... unless your ram is holding you back severely (which, considering it's crucial pc2700, might be the case).
Hope that helps! Good luck!

Pull the mast or not
I need to replace my backstay knee this will require taking the backstay loose. If I slack the forstay and then take the backstay loose do you think the mast will stand with the uppers and lowers holding it up.
Pull the mast or not
If it''s cabin/deck stepped. This is what I would suggest. If you have a topping lift, snug that up and your mainsheet that''ll hold it in place. If no topping lift, use your mainhalyard as the topping lift and do the same. If it''s keel stepped, it''ll stand on it''s own with just the shrouds providing your boot is snug..
Pull the mast or not
The mast is keel stepped and the rig is tuned with a ton meter.
Pull the mast or not
I guess I would have to ask myself the question...what if it dosen''t stand on it''s own. What will that cost me -vs- the time and effort to add a little extra support while the work is being done.
Pull the mast or not
I would not rely on my shrouds to keep my mast up.
Here is how to do this: Use your jib halyard and main halyard as running backstays one to port and one to starboard. Run them to an aft position like your spinnaker sheet turning blocks at the aft corners. Winch them tight. Do not loosen the forstay. Undo your back stay. I have done this procedure numerous times at haul out when storing with my mast up and have never had any problem. |
Pull the mast or not
My mast is also stepped on the keel and I can take both fore and aft stays off and she''s still steady. At times working on the foredeck I depressure the hyd. backstay and pull the clevis loose from the bow to do cleaning and other projects. Never had a problem, But she is sitting on the hard.
........................_/) |
Pull the mast or not
I agree that using the halyards as temp. backstays to be the easiest answer. Recently while relpacing rigging on my deck stepped Columbia, we were able to create a bridle around the aft cleats and attach main halyard to the bridle. I cranked down on the halyard, taking some of the strain off of the backstay. I should add, I have a end of boom mainsheet and tightened it down as well. It pull against the topping lift, creating another temp. backstay. The mast never wiggled. Using the jib (and spare jib)halyard to the forward cleats allowed the same setup to work on the forward rigging. Good Luck.

Soft Spring Rainbows!
The association of Easter and fresh spring blooms makes this time of year all about pastels. I love putting these seasonal colour wheels together, even when there's barely any colour involved. ;)
Let's start with pastel ruffles, for feet and a bit higher up . . .

More pretty pastels after the jump!
I know that gloves can be a traditional part of fancy Easter dress and there is something terribly lady-like about daintily gloved hands. Maybe this one isn't a "rainbow" since they're all white or off-white.
clockwise from top: Fingerless Lace Gloves in Ivory, Lace Gloves with Ruffles in White, Elbow Length Fingerless Gloves in White, Lace Gloves with Ruffles in Ivory, Lace Gloves with Ruffles Fingerless in White, Stretch Lace Wrist Length Gloves in White
Of course, not everyone who wants to rock springtime glove action wants white lace. So how about some soft and satin styles in similar subtle tints?
clockwise from top: Alpaca Beehive Knit Shorties in Pink, Microfiber Chenille Arm Warmers in Camel, Orkney Angora Wrist Warmers in Natural, Classic Satin Gloves in Light Pink, Microfiber Chenille Arm Warmers in White, Isabel Handwarmer in Natural
Of course, we can't talk about sweet, soft shades without mentioning the O Lovelies and the Ethereal Arm Warmers!
Clockwise from top: O Lovelies in Pebble, O Lovelies in Blush, Ethereal Arm Warmers in Lavender, O Lovelies in Robin's Egg, O Lovelies in Pearl, Ethereal Arm Warmers in Pink
There are a bunch of pretty pastels in our wide wonderland of socks, but the Spring collection is a good place to start for those light layers and lovely shades of spring. How about you? Do you start adding frothy, frilly pastels to your wardrobe this time of year?

Ohhh, those ethereal arm warmers, they're ridiculously lovely. :) I have them in lavender and I can't wait to wear them again, I have a little story involving them! Last year I wore them during a guided visit of a castle in Scotland, and the guide commented that they were very ladylike and matched the walls (which were covered in this beautiful purple satiny fabric) and asked me to play along like I was the lady of the house welcoming them all in for a fancy dinner. :)
I...didn't do very well, because I'm too shy for that, but it was the closest to being a lady that I'll ever feel. :D
One day I'll find a way to were a petticoat, too. They're so pretty!↓ -
@Miss Musaranha, what a lovely story! And how fun!! They are super lady like and I know I feel fancy wearing them. I think you'll find a way to wear a petticoat, they're a sure-fire way to feel floofy and fancy! :)↓
