Thoughts and prayers to you at this time. I lost my dad last November, and scrapbooking got me through it as I was racing through to make a memory book of his life. So many stories and ideas come forth when working on it and I think it took Mom's mind off of it too and we all cried when we look at the book. Even today it does but it gets me through the tough days. I love your projects and inspiration and I look forward to your email and coupons all the time. LOVE YA!CASTLEROCKERReplyDelete
My heart goes out to you and your family.... I know how you must feel. I too lost my Daddy in 2008, I'd like to say that this will be one of the toughest things you'll ever deal with, and no, it doesn't get easier, you just learn to deal with missing them and cherishing their memory.. Breaks my heart over and over and over.ReplyDelete

eso0038 — Organisation Release
MONA, LISA and VINCI Soon Ready to Travel to Paranal
First Instruments for the VLT Interferometer
13 November 2000
A few months from now, light from celestial objects will be directed for the first time towards ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at the Paranal Observatory (Chile). During this "First Light" event and the subsequent test phase, the light will be recorded with a special test instrument, VINCI (VLT INterferometer Commissioning Instrument). The main components of this high-tech instrument are aptly named MONA (a system that combines the light beams from several telescopes by means of optical fibers) and LISA (the infrared camera). VINCI was designed and constructed within a fruitful collaboration between ESO and several research institutes and industrial companies in France and Germany. It is now being assembled at the ESO Headquarters in Garching (Germany) and will soon be ready for installation at the telescope on Paranal. With the VLTI and VINCI, Europe's astronomers are now entering the first, crucial phase of an exciting scientific and technology venture that will ultimately put the world's most powerful optical/IR interferometric facility in their hands.
The VLT Interferometer (VLTI)
VINCI (VLT INterferometer Commissioning Instrument) is the "First Light" instrument for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at the Paranal Observatory (Chile). Early in 2001, it will be used for the first tests of this very complex system. Subsequently, it will serve to tune this key research facility to the highest possible performance.
The VLTI is based on the combination of light (beams) from the telescopes at Paranal. Of these, the four 8.2-m Unit Telescopes are already in operation - they will soon be joined by three 1.8-m telescopes that can be relocated on rails, c.f. ESO Press Photo eso9951b.
By means of a system of mirrors, the light from two or more of these telescopes will be guided to the central Interferometric Laboratory, at the center of the observing platform on Paranal. Information about the heart of this complex system, the Delay Lines that are located in the underground Interferometric Tunnel, is available with the recent ESO Press Photos eso0032.
The VLTI will later receive other front-line instruments, e.g. AMBER, MIDI and PRIMA. When fully ready some years from now, the VLTI will produce extremely sharp images. This will have a major impact on different types of exciting astronomical observations, e.g.:
- the direct discovery and imaging of extra-solar planets comparable to Jupiter,
- the discovery and imaging of low-mass stars such as brown dwarfs,
- observations of star-forming regions and to better understand the physical processes that give birth to stars,
- spectral analysis of the atmospheres of nearby stars, and
- imaging the objects of the very core of our Galaxy and the detection of black holes in active nuclei of galaxies.
The VINCI test instrument
The new instrument, VINCI, will soon be delivered to Paranal by the Département de Recherche Spatiale (Department for Space Research), a joint unit of the Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique (French National Centre for Scientific Research) and the Paris Observatory.
VINCI is a functional copy of the FLUOR instrument - now at the IOTA (Infrared Optical Telescope Array) interferometer - that has been upgraded and adapted to the needs of the VLTI.
FLUOR was developed by the Département de Recherche Spatiale (DESPA) of the Paris Observatory. It was used in 1991 at the Kitt Peak National Observatory (Arizona, USA), for the first (coherent) combination of the light beams from two independent telescopes by means of optical fibers of fluoride glass. It has since been in operation for five years as a focal instrument at the IOTA Interferometer (Mount Hopkins, Arizona, USA) within a collaboration with the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), producing a rich harvest of scientific data.
The VINCI partners
The VINCI instrument is constructed in a collaboration between ESO (that also finances it) and the following laboratories and institutes:
- DESPA (Paris Observatory) provides the expertise, the general concept, the development and integration of the optomechanics (with the exception of the camera) and the electronics,
- Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées that produces the control software
- The LISA infrared camera is developed by the Max-Planck-Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik (Garching, Germany), and
- ESO provides the IR camera electronics and the overall observational software and is also responsible for the final integration.
DESPA delivered VINCI to ESO in Garching on September 27, 2000, and is now assembling the instrument in the ESO optical workshop. It will stay here during three months, until it has been fully integrated and thoroughly tested. It will then be shipped to Paranal at the beginning of next year. After set-up and further tests, the first observations on the sky are expected in late March 2001.
Fluoride fibers guide the light
The heart of VINCI - named MONA - is a fiber optics beam combine unit. It is the outcome of a fertile, 10-year research partnership between Science (DESPA) and Industry ("Le Verre Fluoré" [2]).
Optical fibers will be used to combine the light from two telescopes inside VINCI. Since the instrument will be working in the near-infrared region of the spectrum (wavelength 2-2.5 µm), it is necessary to use optical fibers made of a special type of glass that is transparent at these wavelengths. By far the best best material for this is fluoride glass. It was invented by one of the co-founders of the company "Le Verre Fluoré", the only manufacturer of this kind of highly specialized material in the world.
Optical fibers of fluoride glass from this company are therefore used in VINCI. They are of a special type ("monomode") with a very narrow core measuring only 6.5 µm (0.065 mm) across.
Light that is collected by one of the telescopes in the VLTI array (e.g., by the 50 m 2 mirror of a VLT Unit Telescope) is guided through the VLTI system of optics and finally enters this core.
The fibers guide the light and at the same time "clean" the light beam by eliminating the errors introduced by the atmospheric turbulence, hereby improving the accuracy of the measurements by a factor of 10.
DESPA has shown that this is indeed possible by means of real astronomical observations with the FLUOR experiment. Following this positive demonstration, it has been decided to equip the instrumentation of all interferometers currently under construction with fibers or equivalent systems.
[1] This ESO Press Release is issued in conjunction with communications from the Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique (French National Centre for Scientific Research) and the Paris Observatory.
[2] The manufacturer "Le Verre Fluoré" is the only one in the world that produces "monomode" fiber optics couplers made of fluoride glass. The development of these high-tech systems was initiated in 1988 by a grant from the French Ministry for Research and Technology. Its use by DESPA in the FLUOR instrument, which served as a testing bench, has allowed to further improve this technology.

A Circuit Court judge in Kentucky has sided with Duke in a breach of contract lawsuit brought forth by Louisville.
The Blue Devils backed out of a four-game series against the Cardinals with three dates remaining. The contract called for a penalty of $150,000 a game if a date with a "team of similar stature" could not be arranged.
Duke argued that its team, which is 6-45 the past five seasons, was so bad that any team would be a suitable replacement.
The judge sided with Duke.
"At oral argument, Duke (with a candor perhaps more attributable to good legal strategy than to institutional modesty) persuasively asserted that this is a threshold that could not be any lower. Duke's argument on this point cannot be reasonably disputed by Louisville," Judge Phillip J. Shepherd said in his summary.
"We're disappointed with the ruling," Louisville spokesman Kenny Klein said. "We will take our time to review the decision and explore our future options."

Thomas Hobbs White Waltham Convict
Thomas Hobbs born 1795 at Hambleden, son of Robert Hobbs and Elizabeth Bowyer. Had 7 children at White Waltham all christened between 1818 and 1830 mainly by the Rev William Vansittart who then owned the Shottesbroke estate. Thomas was convicted of stealing a pig in June 1829, sentenced to 7 years transportation along with his compatriate Adam Colemen. Hobbs was sent to Hobart, Coleman to Sydney.
Hobbs arrived in Hobart 18/12/1830 aboard the Clyde that had left Portsmouth the previous August.
After his release Thomas is found again as an early settler at the Salt Water River area. Here and near Werribee he purchased a number of acres of land for sheep farming.He married Elisabeth McNamara in Melbourne and had 2 sons. Thomas and Patrick George. He died at his home on the Salt Water river in 1851 aged 1856. I am a descendant of John Hobbs one of the sons that Thomas left behind in the UK, now also living in South Australia.

People Tells Us Who Won Top Chef, Doesn't Issue Spoiler Alert
While the rest of us have to wait until tonight's bullshit finale to find out who won Top Chef, People magazine told everyone who picks up a copy on the news stand today. Don't worry, we won't ruin it.
Thanks to a tip-off from Gawker alum Richard Lawson, we know that Page 134 of the December 21 issue (the one with Tiger's wife on the cover) shows the above picture with the winner hugging Tom Colicchio and Padma's bad idea bangs. The copy refers to the person in the picture as the "reigning Top Chef champ" and the photo caption says "[the winner]...beat out [the losers]." There is also a recipe for Bell Pepper Couscous with Tomato-Harissa Broth. Don't make it. If you eat it, you will be able to tell the future, but all your friends will hate you for revealing events before they occur.
We're not going to tell you the results of the show, because that would kill the fun of tonight's live blog here on Gawker, but if you are really dying to know, get down to your local magazine dealer and look for yourself.
The picture that they ran is courtesy of Bravo, and it is not yet on Bravo's press website, so that means someone at the network had to release it to People. Didn't they realize the December 21 issue would come out well before December 21? Or maybe they didn't care because it would only be on the stands for a day before we find out who won. We wish People was a blog so a million commenters could leave "thanks for the spoiler alert assholes" under the article. Just so they knew what it's like.

I noticed that in songs, the vowel sounds of the morae that come before geminations are sometimes repeated.
For example, the first lyric line of "マジカルちょーだいっ" is sung as
しらんぷりをしたあって where the line is actually
Another example: in the second lyric line of "片道きゃっちぼーる", the final
あった sounds like
Also, at the beginning of the song "Gem Stone", the repeated
もってる is pronounced as
My questions are:
Is this way of pronouncing gemination limited to songs, or are there instances where it's used elsewhere?
It seems to be limited to songs with children or children-like voices, so is it by chance the way Japanese children initially pronounce gemination?

Here is a particularly challenging, but kind of cool example that involves the sine and cosine of a difference formulas. The problem says derive the tangent of a difference identity, that means derive an identity for tangent of alpha minus beta.
Now the first thing I know about tangent is that tangent is sine over cosine, so this is sine of alpha minus beta over cosine of alpha minus beta and then I can use the sine and cosine of our difference formulas to fill this out. I have sine, cosine, cosine, sine; sine alpha, cosine beta minus cosine alpha, sine beta over and for cosine I have cosine, cosine, sine, sine. Cosine alpha, cosine beta oops and the minus becomes a plus, sine alpha, sine beta.
Now this is a mess and it requires a trick to simplify and the trick is to multiply the top and bottom by 1 over cosine alpha, cosine beta, 1 over cosine alpha, cosine beta and this will give us a really nice result, watch what happens here. So this 1 over cosine alpha and cosine beta is going to get distributed over both of these terms in the numerator, sine alpha, cosine beta over cosine alpha, cosine beta the cosine betas will cancel and I'll have sine alpha over cosine alpha minus. So that's what happens to the first term.
The second term, I get cosine alpha, sine beta over cosine alpha, cosine beta the cosine alphas cancel and I'm left with sine beta over cosine beta, this is good. The first term in the denominator cosine alpha, cosine beta over cosine alpha cosine beta 1 plus and finally sine alpha sine, sine beta over cosine alpha, cosine beta. Sine alpha, sine beta nothing cancels here cosine alpha, cosine beta, but here is what we get, this is tangent alpha, tangent beta over 1 plus tangent alpha times tangent beta, and that's our tangent of a difference formula. Tangent of alpha minus beta is tangent alpha minus tangent alpha over 1 plus tangent alpha tangent beta.
Let's use this in a really easy example. The problem says find the tangent of 15 degrees? So you first want to express the 15 degrees as some difference that involves nice angles, angles that are special. Tangent of 45 minus 30 for example. Actually let me go with 60 minus 45, let me tell you why. If you remember the tangent of 30 degrees it's 1 over root 3 and the tangent of 60 degrees is root 3, I don't want to have any 1 over root 3s in my answers so I'm going to stays away from that one, but will give me a slightly nicer answer, so it's tangent of 60 degrees minus 45 degrees.
Now from the formula it's tangent alpha minus tangent beta so tangent 60 minus tangent 45 over 1 plus the product of the two, tangent 60, tangent 45 and that's going to give me tangent of 60 it's nice, it's root 3, tangent of 45 is 1, 1 plus and then root 3 times 1 not bas that's a pretty good answer, but usually we don't like to have radicals in the denominator so let's rationalize this.
So in order to rationalize the denominator, do you remember the trick of multiplying by the conjugate? That's what we're going to do here except I'm going to multiply in the form, let's see 1 minus root 3, 1 minus root 3. In the denominator, I'm going to get 1² minus root 3², that's 1 minus 3. In the numerator and this is the same as well let me multiply it through, I get root 3 times 1, root 3 root 3 times negative root 3 minus 3, -1 times 1, -1 and -1 times negative root 3 plus root 3. I have a -2 on the bottom and on top I've got two root 3's minus 4. If I divide that all by -2, I get negative root 3 plus 2 and that's my answer. 2 minus root 3, that's the tangent of 15 degrees.

The following commentary covers Chapters 11 and 12.
addressed as responsible: Jeremiah pleads with God for
Chapter 11 suggests some
observations. God addresses Himself again to Israel on
the ground of their responsibility, reminding them of the
call to obedience, which had been addressed to them ever
since their coming out of Egypt. God was about to bring
on the people the evil with which He had threatened them.
Jeremiah is not to intercede for them. Nevertheless He
still calls Israel His "beloved"; but, being
corrupted, what had she to do in His house? Whatever she
might have been to Him, judgment was coming. At the end
of the chapter Jeremiah takes the place of the faithful
remnant who have the testimony of God. His position
continually reminds us of the Psalms. We see the working
of the Spirit of Christ often clearly expressed, but
sometimes, it appears to me, in expressions more mingled
with Jeremiah's personal position, and thereby less deep
and less akin to the sentiments of Christ, although the
same in principle with the Psalms. Jeremiah, on account
of his faithfulness and his testimony, was exposed to the
machinations of the wicked. Jehovah reveals these things
to him; and, according to the righteousness which
characterises the condition of the remnant, he calls for
the vengeance of God. [1] This will be the means of deliverance for
the remnant. He announces the judgment of these wicked
men by the word of Jehovah. In Psalm 83 the same
principles will be found, and the same wickedness in
God's enemies; only there, these enemies are Gentiles,
and the range of thought is wider. Israel and the
knowledge of Jehovah are the object of the prayer in that
Psalm. Compare also chapter 9 and Psalm 64. Here there is
more intercession on Jeremiah's part; the psalm speaks of
judgment. Compare also Psalm 69: 6, 7, and Jeremiah 15:
15. The words of the psalm being from the mouth of Christ
Himself, the request is for others and infinitely more
touching. This comparison of passages will help in
understanding the relationship between the position of
Jeremiah and that of the remnant described in the Psalms.
We may also compare Psalm 73 with the beginning of
chapter 12. This last chapter forms a part of the same
prophecy as the preceding one. Jeremiah pleads with God
on the subject of these judgments, but in a humble and
submissive manner, which God accepts by making him feel
(a painful necessity) the evil of the people more deeply.
At the same time He sustains the prophet's faith by the
personal interest He manifests in him. God makes him
understand that He has forsaken His inheritance: the
state of things was therefore no longer to be wondered
at. At the same time He reveals His purposes of blessing
to His people, and even to the nations among whom they
will be dispersed, [2]
if these nations would learn the ways of Jehovah.
[1] Righteousness characterises the
saint as well as love, and has its place where there are
adversaries to that love and to the blessing of the loved
people. It is the Spirit of prophecy, not the gospel, no
doubt because prophecy is connected with the government
of God, not with His present dealings in sovereign grace.
Hence in the Revelation vengeance is called for by the
[2] We see at the same time the
unchangeable love of God for His people, and the bond of
His faithfulness which cannot be broken. He calls the
nations, that surround the inheritance He had given to
His people, His neighbours. We see also the setting aside
of all that national system of which He had made Israel
the centre, and which falls when Israel, the keystone of
the arch, is taken away (v. 14). Afterwards, these
nations are re-established, as well as Israel, and
blessed if they acknowledge the God of Israel. The Lord
Christ will re-unite the two thingsthe universal
headship of man, and the union of nations round Israel as
a centrein His Person. He will be the one Man to
whom the whole dominion is given; and Israel, as well as
the various nations with their kings, shall be
re-established, each in his own land and his own heritage
(as before the time of Nebuchadnezzar), with the
exception of Edom, Damascus, Hazor, and Babylon herself;
that is to say, those nations which occupy Israel's
territory, and Babylon which had absorbed and taken the
place of all the others, and which must disappear by the
judgment of God to give them their place again. (Compare
chapter 46 and the following chapters.)

1. The term "dimension" has certain specific meanings in mathematics and physics, such as the three dimensions of length, width, and height. To mystics and occultists, a dimension is the area in which we exist and which is bounded by the extent of our normal five senses. Thus, we normally experience life in this physical dimension while the next or astral dimension is outside of our normal apprehension and is usually observed only via paranormal senses.
2. Each Plane or level of reality has certain distinctive characteristics of Space, Substance, Energy, Consciousness, Nature, and "Rules of Engagement" that must be recognized as determinate for phenomena at that particular level and for efficient and effective functioning of consciousness at the chosen level. According to the esoteric teachings of Henry Laurency the increase from three dimensions at the physical plane to four at the astral, five at the mental, etc. seven at the manifestal.

Title: Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR): The U-2 Aircraft and Global Hawk UAV Programs
CRS report number: RL30727
Author(s): Richard A. Best, Jr., and Christopher Bolkcom, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division
Date: December 1, 2000
- Abstract
- Both Congress and DOD face important decisions regarding the current and future mix of U.S. airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. An overarching line of inquiry is: Over the next 20 to 30 years, what mix of existing and planned manned and unmanned ISR aircraft can most effectively satisfy DOD's requirement for timely and accurate information on enemy forces? An important immediate issue to be resolved is how to best introduce Global Hawk platforms into the U.S. ISR inventory and at what pace, relative to planned or unplanned U-2 attrition. Key concerns are whether manned aircraft can be completely replaced by UAVs, the time that it will take to integrate the Global Hawks into the operating force structure, and the availability of adequate funds to support the acquisition of Global Hawks without compromising vital operational capabilities for an extended period.

We ask, who wouldn't want a rotating motion and distance tracking radar? Sure in today's day and age anyone could purchase a wide-angle sonar or IR solution that achieves the same goal, but [LuckyLarry] took it old school and made his own rotating radar. He used an Arduino, servo, and ultrasonic sensor as a base to gather data, and the open source programming language Processing to draw the data on the screen. He says it's a little inaccurate currently, but will try out some other sensors in the future.
32 thoughts on "Rotating Radar Visualization"
So does it actually work? The demo video just shows a sweep with nothing on it.
ya if it works it'l be really sweet. i might even try to do that one :)
Man, I really wish I could have a portable one. I have been wanting one from when I was a kid
I was a little confused by the video at first until I looked at his page.
Basically, the way he is rendering it isn't how we expect a radar to work like in the movies. Instead of it plotting a point at the distance the signal is bounced back at, it fills in the area green until it his a target. So in the video, that green blob is showing the varying distances between the objects in front of the sensor.
So that indent to the left side of the display is the flat surface of the book, which is closer than the bottles.
Not sure why he chose to render it that way, as it seems harder to read than the more traditional output. Plus it doesn't help that his scale seems to be set for a much longer distance than what is necessary for this test.
It apparently works, but the data is in the blob near the center and in the video nothing has changed from the previous sweep, so nothing changes.
"I got readings man, in front and behind!" Yep just like in Aliens.
"I got readings man, in front and behind!" Yep just like in Aliens, only bigger.
old school would be 555 timer and rs232
does it ping when it finds something new?
Why is there always an idiot that brings up a 555 timer on every project? We get it! You know how to use a timer. What does that have to do with anything? Sheesh!
Good idea, poorly implemented.
That is awesome. I want one.
"We'd better get back, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night… mostly. "
I am intrequed by "Processing"…must read more…
This site sould be called "things you can do with Arduino dot com"
This site is turning into a joke.
why don't you upload some hacks yourself then?
Hmm, if only there was a word for sound-based "radar"… Haha, just joshin' you–neat project!
Looks like a fun project (though I'm sorry but have to say: it's NOT Radar). As someone mentioned, it looks like the displayed range is greater than required for this demo. It would be cool if he had a button or something to adjust the displayed range. Not sure if that's possible with processing or not (no experience with it).
It does seem that his display would make more sense to observers if he inverted the current display, and made the targets green and the blank areas black. I'm curious whether it's at all possible to resolve two targets at the same azimuth but differing range with sensors like the one used here.
Hope to see future improvements on this project.
I still don't get the problem so many people have with Arduino. If you dislike arduino, then go out, get yourself a 555 timer, some transistors, and a piece of duct tape, and make something cool and impressive (and probably impractical) to show us all. Then we'll all bow to your great 1337 $ki11z! Until then, shut up and enjoy the view.
heh cool. :)
Well I can assure you it does work, but then the video sucks – its not exactly the best material for a video.
I rendered it as a big green blob and not lines etc.. as the sensors not too accurate and I also wanted to see what the sensor saw as open space – kinda obvious really…
Poor implementation M4CGYV3R? sorry, but how would you implement a radar style screen – by making it out of a biro and an elastic band in a shit TV series with a mullet? :P
i want to change the sonar out for a directional wifi antenna. and plot ssid and signalstrength insted!!
@digi @Inventorjack
maybe you both should read article before commenting
He just need to reduce the scale and invert the graphic plot colors (green with black) so he can get the plot like a green "wall".
Thanks for your helpful suggestion, but I have already read it. What exactly about my posting (or digi's for that matter) makes you so confident that we're so unable to read an article? What exactly about our posts do you disagree with? Please don't throw out assumptions without explaining what you mean.
So he made a SONAR display and not a RADAR display.
Why is everyone calling it radar when it's using sound? It's not, it's Sonar until he replaces the ultrasonics with a RF transmitter and receiver.
@Inventorjack: Let me ask you something..
Have you *ever* tried another platform other than Arduino?
Try something else for a change and then maybe you can have some "1337 $ki11z" too..
Heh, my job is actually as a Radar Technician. Lately in my personal projects, I've been using AVRs and the LPC2148, and studying FPGA/CPLD development with Xilinx chips. I'm finishing up my BS in EE/ME. And even still I can appreciate something as useful and simple to work with as an Arduino. So again, if you have an actual valid point, go ahead and make it. But the Arduino platform has it's place just as much as any other tool.
if you did read you wold not miss where old school come from
Now I know why I rarely read comments, Flame fest… maybe they should force registration to keep out the riff raff…
And WOW everyone noticed its not RF its sound and there for sonar is a better term…
Maybe they should rename it to RADAR-Looking Sonar… It was more than likely described that way to help the not so technically inclined along the way, oh wait the internet was built by geeks for geeks and all others should just leave?
Honestly… its a great looking project, Thanks for sharing it Larry I have actually been working on something similar for an ROV your work will help me out…
For the Arduino haters… Don't like em? Dont use em! Last I checked you can get dev boards for whatever you want… Personally I'll take an Arduino over a PIC or BASIC Stamp anyday.. are they the Uber microcontroller? Maybe not but they are GREAT at what they do and have a massive HELPFUL community.
//end rant…
You know what type of troll you are ? A ninja troll, you pretend being not a troll, but yours message as meaningless and provoking as other trolls messages
I guess it is called a 'radar' as it is using a …radar plot! At least, with JPGraph (a php graphing lib), they call it radar plot.
A good name, as otherwise he would have to change it from SONAR to LIDAR when using an optical distance sensor. So using RADAR plots, isn't that silly.
Ooooh you just gave me an idea!
Get a highly directional microphone, and run the sweep. Gather amplitude vs angle, and build yourself a waterfall display!
You could even record the amplitude of frequency ranges. Nifty!
I think the point of people who complain about arduino projects is that using electronics to build a project, while interesting in it's own right, is NOT a hack. The site is called Hack a Day, not Project a Day.
That being said, personally I enjoy seeing all the projects, and think the people who are stuck on black and white pictures, who are anti-ardunio, and who are only happy when someone truly hacks something, are being too picky and naive. If this site turned down every project that wasn't strictly a hack of existing devices made for a completely different purpose, it would be far less interesting. IMO of course.
At least it would be for me because I couldn't care less what OS someone decides to put on their roomba or if Linux can run on the new DVD player they just bought. Hacks like that don't have much purpose except to say "I did it". That has it's own worth sometimes, but surely we can all agree that Linux has been put on everything, and will be able to run on everything in the future, so it's not a novelty anymore.
New electronics projects, arduino or not, are interesting to see. I consider adding traditional new electronics projects to the mix here a good growth move. Maybe a name change would make sense, but why go through all that just to satisfy the people who can't get over it?
And yes, I know there are some crap projects here and there, but you don't HAVE to read them. Read the headline and if you don't care for the project then move on. I know I certainly wouldn't want to be responsible for filling up a site like this with content. So I leave the guys that do it alone and enjoy the gems that crop up from time to time.

Clippers roll past Hornets, tie club record with 11th straight win
LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Clippers' franchise record-tying 11th consecutive victory had owner Donald Sterling leading a "hip, hip hooray" chant in the locker room.
Sterling grabbed the hand of coach Vinny Del Negro and held it up, exhorting his team, "Let's hear it for the coach." Then he told Del Negro, "Vinny, give me a hug," and the two men embraced.
"Eleven in a row. Not bad, is it?" Sterling said.
Blake Griffin scored 18 points and Jamal Crawford added 17 in the Clippers' 93-77 win over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night that tied the franchise mark set by the 1974-75 Buffalo Braves.
"That's pretty special, especially to do it at home," said Chris Paul, who had 10 points and 12 assists, giving him 5,003 in his career.
"The food tastes better, the music sounds better, you sleep a little better," Paul said. "Everything seems better when you're winning."
DeAndre Jordan added 12 points for the Clippers, whose 19-6 record is tied with New York for second-best in the NBA.
Robin Lopez scored 14 of his 22 points in the first quarter and rookie Anthony Davis added 16 for the Hornets. They lost their ninth in a row and 11th in 12 games while falling to 2-10 on the road. They were the last team to beat the Clippers on Nov. 26.
"We knew they were going to come out with a lot of energy. They made shots that they didn't make the last time we played them, and they got a lot of easy buckets," Davis said. "They've got a great team. They're all capable of scoring the ball, from the starters to the bench."
Four of the Clippers' five starters took the fourth quarter off, with only Willie Green coming back in after having helped build a 19-point lead to start the final period. But the Hornets couldn't get anything going against the second unit that has played a significant role in the Clippers' current run.
"We've been getting off to good starts and not putting so much pressure on our bench," Paul said.
The Hornets staged a brief rally to open the third. Davis scored five in a row in their 12-9 run that drew them within seven. The Clippers took over from there, outscoring New Orleans 18-6 to end the third leading 75-56. They made 8 of 10 free throws, while Paul's fast-break dunk highlighted the spurt. Griffin grabbed his teammate as Paul swung wildly from the basket.
"Oh, did I dunk tonight?" said Paul, the least likely to dunk on a Clippers team nicknamed "Lob City."
Griffin drew laughs when he said, "You saw I had to help him down."
"They really feed off their fast break," Ryan Anderson said. "They're a team that runs, and when they get turnovers they break out and find open guys at the other end. They did that the whole second half and they took advantage of our mistakes."
Paul fed Griffin for a layup late in the second quarter to notch his 5,000th assist, triggering a standing ovation. Griffin got fouled on the play and made the free throw. It came during an 11-0 run that provided the Clippers' largest lead to that point, 46-30. Paul's alley-oop pass to Griffin led to a fast-break dunk for the Clippers' final basket of the half, with them leading 48-38.
"I didn't know what everyone was cheering for," Paul said.
Griffin said, "It's cool to be part of that. It's definitely not the last. I'm looking forward to 10,000."
The Hornets kept it close in the opening quarter, when they trailed 22-16 after Lopez scored 14 points. He was scoreless in the second quarter when he picked up his third foul.
Game notes
Del Negro said Jordan turned his ankle during the game. ... At 27 years, 228 days, Paul is the third-youngest player in NBA history to reach 5,000 assists, trailing Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas. He is the fifth-fastest to reach the milestone, needing 510 games. ... New Orleans hasn't won since Dec. 3 against Milwaukee. ... Hornets G Eric Gordon missed the game against his former team because of a sore right knee. He smiled when Clippers fans chanted his name in the final 2 1/2 minutes. ... Returning home from a four-game trip, the Clippers had a moment of silence for the victims of last week's school shootings in Connecticut.

As time progresses, one better appreciates the scale of the devastation in Japan. When I wrote on my own blog yesterday, a few hours after the quake hit and the 30-foot high tsunami started, "only" a few hundred people had been reported dead. As of today, Japanese police report that the number could be as high as 10,000. This would be many more victims than the major Kobe quake in 1995, in which 6,434 people lost their lives. The Kobe quake had been Japan's worst earthquake since the Great Kantō earthquake in 1923, which claimed 140,000 lives.
In 1923, risk reduction measures in Japan were very poor, with almost no quake-proof construction. In recent decades, Japan has done an enormous amount of work to make its infrastructure and construction much more resilient to quakes. Japanese kids are regularly instructed on what to do in the event of an earthquake and how to survive if they are trapped in a building as a result. Given the geography of the island and the omnipresence of quake risk, this is part of Japanese culture. Japan has one of the highest levels of disaster preparedness—and certainly so for earthquake preparedness—among OECD countries. As such, the number of deaths from Friday's quake is simply astonishing.
The chart below (click to enlarge) depicts the 21 most devastating natural disasters between 1970 and 2010 in terms of number of victims (fatalities or missing). Most of these catastrophes occurred in poor or developing countries where safety measures and warning systems are lacking.
Economic impact
The 1995 Kobe earthquake is considered to be the most devastating quake in recent history in terms of economic losses–$100 billion. Friday's quake dissipated energy more than 100 times that of the 1995 quake. While the quake's epicenter was located several hundred miles east of Japan, the destruction and flooded areas resulting from the tsunami are truly large-scale. And, as if a massive earthquake and major tsunami were not enough, the quake also triggered an explosion in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant's Unit 1 in Okumamachi, Fukushima prefecture.
This disaster is an example of a "Perfect Storm" because of the combination of so many terrible things happening simultaneously. It will take weeks to have precise estimates of the total direct (destruction) and indirect (nuclear threats, emergency relief, business interruption, stock decline, loss to tourism) economic losses. But they will probably reach more than $100 billion.
As of this writing, it appears that Japan might be facing one of the most severe civil nuclear threats in an OECD country since the Three Mile Island accident in Pennsylvania in 1979 and, of course, the Chernobyl explosion in the former USSR in 1986. The priority today is to ensure that the accident is properly handled so there is no or limited nuclear irradiation outside the facility. No question, this accident will have an impact on the commercial nuclear energy industry worldwide.
Lessons for the United States and Europe
This massive earthquake in Japan is one more in a tragic series of recent devastating quakes beginning with Haiti in January 2010, Chile in February 2010 and New Zealand last month. While it is not clear how these events are interrelated, if at all, this certainly poses the question of whether other countries, or other communities, are prepared to handle quakes of similar magnitude.
Is California ready for a $100 billion earthquake this year? I doubt it. Research shows that only 10 percent of Californians have quake insurance (due in part to quake insurance being a costly product, coupled with individuals' beliefs that a quake "won't happen to them"). Given the current fiscal crisis in that state, if a quake does happen, who would pay for the damages to the uninsured 90 percent?
Is America ready? Unfortunately, we are not. After Hurricane Katrina, it seemed as though the question of how to better manage and finance large-scale catastrophes would be seriously considered by the highest level of decision makers. But then other crises occurred, and attention to natural disasters somewhat faded. This is the conclusion of our recent book, co-authored with my colleague Howard Kunreuther and several others, At War with the Weather.
We know what to do. What is lacking is the motivation to act, now. The Japanese Perfect Storm is just the latest reminder that we could be next on the extreme event list.

Originally published by Richard Weisser, associate broker, Coweta Fayette Real Estate, on ActiveRain.
I am often asked by brand-new agents about what to do first to get their business going. And when I tell them what I believe to be the best jump-starter that I know of, they often roll their eyes and look at me as if I have just emerged from the Dark Ages. Because my best tip does not involve social media, texting or the Internet in any way, shape or form.
Instead, I recommend writing a hand-written note to everyone the agent knows and include a business card in the envelope. There are two reasons for this seemingly archaic exercise.
First, it forces one to identify his sphere of influence and create a database. As one assembles names and addresses, they are building a book of business that will be appended thousands of times in the future.
It doesn't matter whether the recipient is likely to buy or sell anytime in the near future. While not everyone is in the market right now, everyone knows someone who is in the market now or will be in the near future.
Second, nobody in your sphere of influence will consider using your services if they don't know that you are in the real estate business. How many times do we hear the complaint that a friend or relative bought a house with another agent because they were not aware that the aggrieved party was in the business?
People are often willing to help when they are properly asked to do so. A hundred cards will get results!
It doesn't have to be done all at once. Three to five cards a day will get things rolling along in no time at all. But, like I said, few new agents will actually take the time to do this. Even though the one commodity that they seem to possess is plenty of free time!

Animal Control Solutions provides rodent control, beaver removal, beaver control, and beaver pest control in Loudon, VA.
The beaver can adapt to aquatic human environments easily and usually by choice. In aquatic human environments beavers can adapt easily due to the abundance of food, shelter and the lack of predators. Urban landscapes provide the ideal bark from trees, such as poplar, birch, cherry, pear, willow, maple, and pine trees that beaver will favor. Once a beaver has found a prevalent food source it will look for a den site that is relatively close to that food source. Their home or burrow can be found in a high bank of the stream, pond, or lake. These burrows will have an abundance of mud, grass, and twigs that cover the sub-surface entrance. Lodges are built in areas that a burrow in a high bank is not available. Increases in urbanization or land development in beaver inhabited areas, and the overpopulation of beaver in these areas does not help. As long as we continue to urbanize and provide an abundance of food to the beaver, they will continue to adapt to human environments and pose a threat to urban landscapes.
Beavers are very strong and powerful animals. Live trapping beavers is possible, but very expensive and time consuming. We prefer to use lethal traps when removing beavers because of their speed and effectiveness. A beaver can cut through a 5 inch diameter willow tree in less than 3 minutes. Time is of the essence when beavers are felling expensive ornamentals, flooding crop fields and roadways.
If you need beaver control, beaver removal, to get rid of beaver, or to get rid of a beaver infestation in Loudon, Aldie, Ashburn, Chantilly, Dulles, Leesburg, Lovettsville, Purcellville, Round Hill, and Sterling in Loudon County, VA.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Shane Southwell made two free throws with 21 seconds left, then blocked Gary Browne's layup attempt with 1 second left to preserve No. 18 Kansas State's 65-64 win over West Virginia on Saturday.
Southwell and Rodney McGruder both had 17 points for the Wildcats (13-2, 2-0 Big 12), who won for the sixth straight time.
Jabarie Hinds had a career-high 15 points for West Virginia, (8-7, 1-2). Aaric Murray added 11 points and Terry Henderson scored 10.
The lead changed hands six times over the final eight minutes. After Southwell's free throws, West Virginia had two chances to retake the lead.
But Hinds missed a wild jumper from 16 feet with 12 seconds left. The Mountaineers got the rebound and called timeout.
The inbounds pass ended up in the backcourt. Browne grabbed the loose ball, dribbled the length of the court and attempted a layup, which Southwell swatted away just before the final buzzer.
West Virginia, coming off an overtime win at Texas, could have used a win over Kansas State to improve its standing for a postseason berth. Instead, the Mountaineers fell to 0-3 this season against ranked teams.
Both teams shot 51 percent from the floor for the game. But West Virginia went 12 of 22 from the free-throw line and played without second-leading scorer Juwan Staten, who was benched in a disciplinary move by coach Bob Huggins for the second straight game.
After a first half in which Kansas State nearly the entire way, it was a streaky second half for both teams.
West Virginia went on an 8-0 run in the first two minutes after halftime, with Hinds' layup giving the Mountaineers their largest lead, 41-36.
Kansas State responded with 12 straight points — seven from McGruder — to go ahead 48-41, but the Wildcats couldn't put away the Mountaineers. Kansas State scored just one basket — on a goaltending call — over a stretch of nearly eight minutes.
Freshman Eron Harris put West Virginia ahead 64-63 lead with an off-balanced jumper from the baseline with 26 seconds left, and the Mountaineers quickly fouled Southwell, who made both free throws for the final margin.
Despite having four players in early foul trouble, Kansas State shot 68 percent (15 of 22) from the floor in the first half and the Mountaineers shot 65 percent (11 of 17). Most baskets made by either team were either layups or dunks.

Burton's Gentleman's Magazine was founded by William Evans Burton, an actor and comedian. After three years, he sold the magazine to George Rex Graham, who merged it with the Casket to form Graham's Magazine. The final issues of both of these magazines are essentially identical. Some copies bear the name of the new magazine, and some of the older ones.
Poe officially joined the staff of Burton's Gentleman's Magazine about the middle of May, 1839. An announcement appears on the back cover of the June issue: "William E. Burton, Editor and Proprietor, has much pleasure in stating that he has made arrangements with Edgar A. Poe, Esq., late Editor of the Southern Literary Messenger, to devote his abilities and experience to a portion of the Editorial duties of the Gentleman's Magazine."

ATI's Radeon X800 XL 512MB - A toe in the 512MB poolby Anand Lal Shimpi on May 4, 2005 9:27 AM EST
- Posted in
- GPUs
At the end of last year, ATI announced 5 new GPUs, three of which were supposed to be available within a week of the announcement, none of which actually were. One of those GPUs, the X800 XL, was of particular interest as it was ATI's first real answer to NVIDIA's GeForce 6800GT and ATI said that it would be priced a full $100 less than NVIDIA's offering. Of course, that GPU didn't arrive on time either. And when it did, you had to pay a lot more than $299 to get it.
Fast forward to the present day and pretty much everything is fine. You can buy any of the GPUs that ATI announced at the end of last year at or below their suggested retail prices. But, we have another GPU release on our hands, and given ATI's recent track record, we have no idea if we're talking about a GPU that will be out later this month as promised or one that won't see the light of day for much longer.
Today, ATI is announcing their first 512MB graphics card - the Radeon X800 XL 512MB. Priced at $449, ATI's Radeon X800 XL 512MB is identical in every aspect to the X800 XL, with the obvious exception of its on-board memory size. The X800 XL 512MB is outfitted with twice as many memory devices as the 256MB version, but ATI is indicating that there's no drop in performance despite the increase in memory devices. The clock speeds of the X800 XL 512MB remain identical to the 256MB version, at 400MHz core and 980MHz memory. The 512MB version is also built on the same 0.11-micron R430 GPU as the 256MB version; in other words, the GPUs are identical - one is just connected to twice as much memory. Right now, the X800 XL 512MB is PCI Express only.
The board layout and design hasn't changed with the move to 512MB. The power delivery circuitry is all the same. The difference is that now there are twice as many memory devices on the PCB.
The two X800 XLs: 512MB (lower), 256MB (upper).
The other major change to the board itself is the new heatsink/fan. The unit is just as quiet as the original, but the heatsink takes up much more space as it covers all 16 memory devices whereas the original heatsink didn't touch any of the memory devices. Our only complaint about the new cooler is that its larger size makes removing it from PCI Express slots with a retention lock much more difficult as you can't easily access the lock release lever.
The X800 XL 512MB also now requires the 6-pin PCI Express power connector, something that the original 256MB board didn't need.
The X800 XL 512MB achieves its memory capacity by using twice the number of chips as the 256MB version.
The increased memory adds a significant premium to the price of the X800 XL. While the 256MB carries an ATI suggested retail price of $299, the 512MB version is expected to cost $449 - a full $150 more. At $449, the X800 XL 512MB is now in GeForce 6800 Ultra and Radeon X850 XT territory; but with no increase in GPU power or memory bandwidth, you'll be hard pressed to find any advantages worthy of the added cost.
This is where ATI's strategy doesn't seem to make much sense. They are taking a mid-range performance part, the X800 XL, and giving it more memory than any of their GPUs, thus pricing it on par with their highest end X850 XT. More than anything, ATI is confusing their own users with this product. Those who are uninformed and have a nice stack of cash to blow on a new GPU are now faced with a dilemma: $449 for a 512MB X800 XL or $499 for a 256MB X850 XT? That is, if this part does actually ship to market in time and if it is actually priced at $449 - both assumptions that we honestly can't make anymore given what we've seen with the past several ATI releases.
What's also particularly interesting about today's 512MB launch is that ATI won't be producing any 512MB X800 XL cards under the "built by ATI" name. You will only be able to get these cards through ATI's partners. According to ATI, the following manufacturers will bring the X800 XL 512MB to market sometime this month:
- GigabyteAnd as confirmation, here's a slide from ATI's presentation saying the exact same thing:
- Sapphire
Although we'd like to believe ATI here, given their recent track record, we can't really take their word for it. By asking their partners to commit to delivering product, ATI is essentially shifting the blame a bit should their May 2005 target slip. But with regards to the X800 XL 512MB, as you're about to see, it doesn't really matter.
It is worth noting that NVIDIA has been shipping a 512MB card, the 512MB GeForce 6800 Ultra, for quite some time now. However, the card itself only seems to be available to system builders such as Alienware and Falcon Northwest. The 512MB 6800 Ultra is extremely expensive and appears to add around $800 to the cost of any system built by those who carry it; obviously, not in the same price range as ATI's X800 XL 512MB. Despite our curiosities, we could not get a card from NVIDIA in time for this review, although we'd be willing to bet that our findings here with the X800 XL 512MB would apply equally to NVIDIA's 512MB GeForce 6800 Ultra as well.

Rawz - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - linkOne game that could benefit from a 512 MB VRAM board is Everquest II. Currently, it is stated that no system setup avail. today can run the game, playble, with all its settings at maximum.
I know mine can't(P4 2.8HT, 1GB PC3200 2.5 Corsair, Abit AI7 and MSI Radeon 9800Pro 128 - R360). No OC there.
Could you set a test with that game? (There is a free trial for it, as it is a MMORPG )
melgross - Sunday, May 8, 2005 - linkSon of a N00b, none of these game cards work well as workstation cards.
The $500 workstation cards from both ATI and Nvidia are two to three times fast with most operations than the equiv. price game cards.
But they are much slower playing games.
Murst - Sunday, May 8, 2005 - linkReading these posts was kinda funny.
First of all, ATI wouldn't market a card just to test it. If ATI wants to test something, they can either evaluate it on a theoretical basis, or just develop several cards for their own use.
There is a possibility that longhorn could take advantage of 512 MBs of vram. Especially with dual core processors coming out, multi tasking *may* compeletely change. Get 2 monitors, play two games on the same computer at the same time. Of course, GPUs will still need to advance more before playing 2 graphically intense games is possible on the same computer with a single graphics card (dual gpu maybe? =p ). Well, with that said, although longhorn may need 512 MBs, this card will certainly not be able to handle it.
However, I bet this card will sell great. When some kid's mom will go to a store to buy the brat a brand new graphics card, she doesn't know what to pick. 9800, 6800, 5900, 6600, X800... that means absolutly nothing to MOST buyers. However, they see on the box that one card has 256MBs and another card has 512MBs. I'm sure most people will assume that more memory is better performance (hell, generally that is the case). So they'll buy this card, because that is the ONLY thing on a graphics card box that the general public can understand. Its a great tactic by ATI, and it will make them money. Its all about the labels on the box. 99.99% of the population has never seen or heard of benchmarks.
Son of a N00b - Saturday, May 7, 2005 - linkwhich there is, so there will be plenty of ppl that buy this card.
xsilver - Friday, May 6, 2005 - linkif there are people that buy the 9550 256mb and fx5500 256mb over a 9800pro/6600gt 128mb there will be people that buy this card
Myrandex - Thursday, May 5, 2005 - linkThis makes sense from a manufacturing and business aspect. X800XLs are cheaper and easier to produce than X850XT's, and of course someone will buy the card. I don't know why y'all don't get on nvidia's case more for the FX5200 having 256MB in some cases (and derivatives of it, like the 5500). That is wayyyy more rediculous than 512MB on an X800XL. Heck about the only thing 3D that the 5200 card is made for running an OpenGL screensaver :P
Peanya - Thursday, May 5, 2005 - linkI do see a reason for this card, although I'd have to test it. I believe it's designed for specific games such as some popular on-line games like SWG and EQ. For the average gamer, this won't benefit at all. Oh well, I'm still happy with my 6800GT and my AMD64. I've never been a fan of ATI's drivers.
PrinceXizor - Thursday, May 5, 2005 - linkAlso, oodles of VRAM is useful for multi-monitor use. Some testing scenarios that involve that would be much appreciated too.
Workstation performance (Alibre Design is a MCAD package that is DirectX based not OpenGL optimized), multi-monitor support, multi-tasking video operations, Longhorn.
Mostly though, I would like to see some multi-monitor and gaming benchmarks as these are the most likely to see performance gains. Just my $.02
Son of a N00b - Thursday, May 5, 2005 - linkany benchmarks of these cards from a workstation standpoint? If ati was that dull enough to release a 512 X800 why not accidently release a card that can preform okay in workstation progs, without the hefty price of a worksation card? Hmm (especially with the nvidia cards, isnt the 6800ultra 512 the same as a quadro on the hardware end?) a soft mod BIOS flash could prove to be interesting?
what do you think Anand?
civilgeek - Thursday, May 5, 2005 - linkThis review tested games that are explicitly made for this round of 256 meg cards. Try games that our made for future cards... like several of the MMOs. For example EQII would be a prime example as I have not heard of a single machine being able to run the game on extreme settings with reasonable frame rates, even with 2 6800 gt cards in SLI. You need textures that are beyond todays round of games.

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

So, AIM, the bloated bygone beast, has actually spawned a pretty terrific little blossom. Although only for DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION INTERNAL AOL USE at the moment, "AV by AIM" is great. Ad hoc video chat, decent quality, free, zero setup.
The necessity of Flash is kind of a bummer, but all it takes to get a four person, client-less vid session going is to head here. Once your camera's ready, you just share a short URL with your pals, who can join sans account, just like you. As mentioned, video quality is fine (better than iChat usually is), as is audio fidelity. If you want to write, text is transparently overlaid in a very pretty manner. The entire affair is fun and extremely convenient.
I can safely say this is the first time I have used adjectives such as "pretty," "terrific," "decent," "fun," or "extremely convenient" with a piece of AOL software. And it's absolutely deserved. [AV via TechCrunch]

Is Cirrus Logic Still a Great Investment?
Apple , the former golden child that could do no wrong, now can't seem to get anything right. After peaking at $705 back in September, the company lost its way with the Maps fiasco, followed that up with reports of lackluster sales at the iPhone 5 launch, saw those that were sold arrive pre-damaged, disappointed with the pricing on the iPad Mini, offered up a big earnings miss, gave gloomy guidance for the coming holiday season -- and we hadn't even gotten out of October yet!
Today Apple's stock trades at $446, a loss of more than one-third of its value, and all the suppliers that had been riding its gravy train with biscuit wheels went off the rails with it. TriQuint Semiconductor is down 38% since September, Skyworks Solutions is 33% lower, and Cirrus Logic , feeling the pain most acutely than most, has tumbled more than 45%.
That could be because more so than most other suppliers, Cirrus lives and dies by Apple, selling almost all the integrated circuits it makes to the iPhone and iPad maker. It counted on Apple for 91% of its revenue in its fiscal third quarter! In comparison, TriQuint counts on Apple for just under a third of its revenue (Foxconn, the builder of many of Apple's products, represented 31% of its sales in the latest quarter). Skyworks was similarly situated with 29% of its revenue coming from Foxconn.
With Apple seeing demand for its iPhone 5 weaken, it naturally cut back on orders for them and the components that go with them. And its suppliers are falling as the markets tremble at what that portends.
But the Fool's senior tech analyst Eric Bleeker thinks investors are missing an important driver for Cirrus's future growth and valuation. He points out the iPhone 5 has more of its ICs in it than the 4S does, but both phones were the top-selling smartphones on the market, beating out the heralded Samsung Galaxy series. So when the next iteration of the iPhone rolls around, Cirrus Logic will most likely not have lost any positioning in the hardware and may just see even more placement inside.
Apple of my eye
Currently its stock trades at 10 times earnings and just 6.5 times estimates, but with analysts still pegging long-term earnings growth north of 25% annually, its sub-$25 share price makes it very cheap, particularly when you compare it to its growth potential. Analysts could cut those growth estimates in half and it would still offer an attractive valuation.
Famed value investor John Neff once noted investors are great at drawing straight lines out to infinity. When a stock is rising, they extrapolate that growth as they imagine the good times continuing forever. Similarly, when a stock is falling, they tend to picture it falling to zero. Neither scenario is correct, and when it comes to Apple, I feel pretty confident saying the stock ain't going to zero!
This is simply momentum looking in the rearview mirror and giving Apple critics their day in the sun. Sure, they've been given plenty of ammo by Apple to launch a fusillade against it, but that doesn't mean the iPhone 6 (or is that the 5S?) when it's finally unveiled won't wow the fanboys and reinvigorate Apple's mojo as iterations gone by have done.
The burned hand learns best
Apple may have already learned its lesson from the iPad Mini mispricing brouhaha, as analysts seem fairly confident we'll see the next iPhone offered at a much lower price to woo smartphone users back. I don't think we'll watch Apple follow Nokia down the path of offering cut-rate phones to stem customer losses, but we'll likely see some sort of discount, which is all well and good for Cirrus Logic. Because its fortunes are so intimately entwined in those of Apple, upon the latter's resurrection, we'll see the chip maker rise spectacularly again, too.
Yet it also leads one to wonder why, if Apple is essentially buying up every last bit of product Cirrus Logic is churning out, it doesn't just buy the company outright? It has almost $40 billion in cash and equivalents (excluding long-term investments) sitting in the bank and the chip maker's market cap is just over $1.6 billion. It could offer investors a pretty premium and not even break a sweat. In the end, either scenario works out well for investors.
Cirrus Logic is not a broken company, and that represents opportunity for investors.
