Only known Billy the Kid tintype to be auctioned in June |
Written by TOM SHARPE, The New Mexican |
Tuesday, 15 February 2011 09:00 |
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - In late 1879 or early 1880, Billy the Kid posed for a picture at a Fort Sumner gambling hall. Wearing a crumpled dark hat, a sweater, a vest and boots, he stood with his hand resting on a Winchester rifle on one side and a Colt revolver holstered on the opposite hip. The pose was captured on four 2-by-3-inch tintypes. Three are believed to have been lost or destroyed. The only one left - what some call the only authenticated image of the famous outlaw - comes up for auction this summer. "This is it - the only one,'' says Brian Lebel, who estimates the image should bring in between $300,000 and $400,000 on June 25 at his 22nd annual Old West Show and Auction at the Denver Merchandise Mart. "We've all seen this image of Billy countless times, but when you hold the actual three-dimensional tintype in your hands, it's a whole different experience.'' After Billy the Kid died in 1881, one of his rustler partners, Dan Dedrick, kept the tintype. Dedrick passed it to his grand-nephew, Frank Upham, who willed it to his descendants, Stephen Upham of California and Art Upham of Arizona. During the mid-1980s, Frank Upham loaned it to the Lincoln County Heritage Trust Museum in Lincoln. For about three years, that was the only time the tintype has been publicly displayed. According to Beverly Hammond, a historical interpreter at the center for some 30 years, around 1986, the tintype was sent to the Eastman Kodak Co. in Rochester, N.Y., for analysis. When it was returned, it was ``very, very dark. ... You could see the hat and you could see gun and the boots, but other than that, it was just a blur.'' Lebel said that's not true. "It might be darker than it was, but it's not a dark tintype,'' he said. "It hasn't been restored. They have not done anything to it since they took it back from the museum. All they've done is stored it in a nitrogen-filled envelope, which was recommended to them, and they've left it in a safe-deposit box. It's still in a safe-deposit box. I took it out last week and showed three museum curators who all felt that it was a good, clear, sharp image.'' Bob McCubbin, a Santa Fe-based collector of Western photography, said he hasn't seen the photograph since it was treated in Rochester. But, he said, "I was told by someone that I consider reliable that saw it after the damage ... (that) it was virtually black, so I've been under that impression for some time.'' He said the story may have been exaggerated because the Upham family has not responded to inquiries about the tintype for two decades. "I've not had the opportunity to see it myself, but a friend of mine did recently and said it looks pretty good,'' McCubbin added. Hammond agreed the tintype is the only known portrait of Billy the Kid, but she said he also appears in the background of a photograph of cowboys at the Chisum Ranch near Roswell. McCubbin said he thinks there might be a couple of portraits of Billy the Kid - also known as William H. Bonney, Henry Antrim and Henry McCarty -as a boy in Silver City. McCubbin said the tintype is the only adult image that is indisputably authentic. Study the image and Billy's jaw line seems asymmetrical. Lebel said that's because the Kid moved his head slightly or "made a face'' during the long exposure time required. McCubbin said the distortion might result from low light the photographer tried to correct by using a reflective mirror, visible on the left side. He said engravings, used for early reproductions of the tintype, might have further exaggerated the facial distortion. A long-held belief Billy the Kid was left-handed - enshrined by the 1958 movie The Left Handed Gun, starring Paul Newman - stems from the fact he appears to wear his holster on his left side. But a tintype, made with an early form of photography that used metal plates, is a mirror image in which left and right are reversed. This was rediscovered by firearms experts who realized the loading chamber of the rifle in the photograph is on the wrong side. Because of the many stories about the tintype, Lebel said he invites people to view it for themselves during the three-day Western show, June 24 to 26. He expects as many as 500 people to attend the June 25 live auction. "The fun thing about the tintype is that everybody does have their own little story,'' Lebel said. "Some people say he dressed in that hat, in that pose, only because he was clowning around. ... I've been a fan of it since it appeared and when I first put my hands on it in person, my knees shook. It's one of those things that's going to be exciting to a lot of people.'' McCubbin said he knows two wealthy collectors who plan to bid in Denver - but they want it for their own collections, not for donation to the Museum of New Mexico. He figures it could sell for anywhere from $100,000 to $1 million. "It's going to be out of my price range,'' he said. "It is one of a kind and, honestly, I've heard a lot of people, a lot of my friends, refer to it as the holy grail of photography. I cannot think of another photograph in the entire world that is as famous.'' ___ Information from: The Santa Fe New Mexican, http://www.sfnewmexican.com Copyright 2011 Associated Press.

Incredible Vector Equilibrium & Jitterbug Spinning Pattern
Nate | March 31, 2011These are a couple of videos I uploaded to youtube which show what is probably my favorite bit of knowledge about any geometry I have ever found. It is a property of the jitter-bug/cube-octahedron which was discovered by the great Buckminster Fuller.
These videos both show Buckminster Fuller's Jitterbug Geometry and how it can have pressure put on two parallel triangles in a way that creates a very cool "bouncing twist motion," alternating the direction of the twist/spin each time it get squeezed.
This motion-geometry "contains" the geometry for the Cube-octahedron, the icosahedron, the octahedron, the 4 sided pyramid, the tetrahedron, and more. Very impressive in my opinion.
If you want to try this at home and buy the cube-octahedron with bendable vertexes, the same kind which was used in the video and was also designed by Bucky himself, it is $11.95 at [http://bfi.easystorecreator.com/items/toys-models/jitterbug-vector-flexor-402-detail.htm]

In The Slot with Jim Clark
Girls hockey Super Eight rankings (Feb. 11)
STATUS QUO: Minimal changes this week with teams losing games to Snowmageddon. We have no new entries to either poll, but there was some shifting. In Div. 1, Arlington Catholic's first-ever regular season victory over St. Mary's causes the Catholic Central League rivals to switch spots. Westford's win over Billerica caused some movement at the bottom of the poll, which could continue next week. In Div. 2, Fontbonne and Winchester move up one spot each with impressive showings in their lone games while Archbishop Williams drops two spots after falling to Ursuline.
MAKING A CASE: While we have three teams from the MVC/DCL in the Div. 1 top 10, the current league leader is not among them. That would be Andover, which holds a victory over Acton-Boxboro, a tie with Billerica and a split with Westford, the most recent meeting being a 4-0 shutout of the Grey Ghosts. Given the merry-go-round that has been league play amongst these four programs, we've evaluated the full schedules of each to come up with our current order. That said, the Golden Warriors have a chance to prove that we're being unfair as they undertake round two with both A-B (Monday) and the Indians (Wednesday) this week.
Woburn has been teetering of late with ties against Lexington and Winchester but still has yet to fall. Reading hopes to become the first team to push the Tanners over the edge as the Middlesex League Liberty Division leaders clash at Burbank Arena (Wednesday, 6 p.m.). Hingham hopes to use its unexpected ten-day layoff to prepare for a visit from Falmouth (6 p.m.) and Beverly/Danvers looks to clinch the GEMIHL CAL/Northeast against Masconomet (4 p.m.).
Other Wednesday highlights include: Westwood vs. Medway/Ashland (4 p.m. at NE Sports Center); Fontbonne at St. Mary's (4:30 p.m.); Andover at Billerica (5 p.m.); Austin Prep vs. Archbishop Williams (6 p.m. at Zapustas Arena); Braintree at Walpole (8 p.m.); and Winchester at Arlington (8 p.m.).
Thursday brings us a key game in the MVC/DCL as Westford Academy hosts Acton-Boxboro at the Groton School Rink (7 p.m.). Goalie Shannon O'Neil looks to get over on St. Mary's one last time before she graduates as Austin Prep hosts the Spartans at Stoneham Arena (8 p.m.). The Middlesex League game between Lexington and Winchester (5 p.m.) was also pushed to Thursday.
My alma mater Mt. St. Charles comes to the Commonwealth Friday afternoon to face Hingham (4:30 p.m.). The Mounties (10-3-0) rank second in Rhode Island behind powerhouse LaSalle Academy and are led by a dangerous top line of Briana Castro (19-13-32), Elisabeth Berard (14-18-32) and Alisha Sleboda (9-11-20).
Saturday's main event features Arlington Catholic hosting Lexington (6 p.m.) in a nonleague, heavyweight battle. Acton-Boxboro looks to get one back against Billerica as both teams jockey for position in the MVC/DCL (6:15 p.m.) and Archbishop Williams looks to maintain its recent hold over Fontbonne at Zapustas Arena (11 a.m.). Medway/Ashland vs. Westwood (4 p.m. at Metropolis Rink) and Walpole vs. Duxbury (6:45 p.m. at The Bog) round out the big matchups.
A rare Sunday matchup pits Winchester against St. Mary's in nonleague action over at Emmons-Harrison-O'Neil rink in Charlestown. Last week's Canton/Hingham showdown was pushed to next Monday, and next week we will take a look at the major showcase tournaments/events that start Tuesday.

2. | Coors Light Challenge | ||
Commonly abbreviated CLC, the Coors Light Challenge is the act of purchasing multiple flats of Coors Light and determining the amount required for inebriation, leading to bouts of drunken laughter, bad "mistakes" with your best guy friends and "accidentally" copping a feel of your best girl friends. Many attempt the CLC, but few actually complete it, as it takes so many of these "beers" to get drunk, the participant dies of hyperaquaitis, a condition that describes too much water in one's body. Bro 1: Bro, do you wanna pick up a couple of flats and do the CLC this weekend?
Bro 2: Oh you know it, I'll hit those up like Brose Canseco Bro 1: Let's make out. Hot chick: Can you believe those guys are doing the Coors Light Challenge? They're sooooooo brave. Slightly less hot chick: Like oh my God I know!! I just want them to do things to me, like right now. |
1. | Coors Light Challenge | ||
Commonly abbreviated as CLC, the Coors Light Challenge is the extravagant and sophisticated act of determining how many Coors Light are required to drive one to the point of inebriation, in a predetermined time interval. This is usually followed by making bad "mistakes" with your best guy friends and repeatedly trying to cop a feel of your best girl friends. Many have attempted the CLC but few have succeeded as most adventurous individuals eventually become diagnosed with a condition known as hyperaquaitis, or the state of an excess of water in the blood stream. Bro #1: Buddy we should defs do the CLC this weekend bro.
Bro #2: Bro no way, that is off the hook like Brose Canseco hitting touchdowns left and right!! Hot Chick: Omg Cecillia do you see those guys doing the Coors Light Challenge?? I like can't believe it, they're sooo hot. Slightly Less Hot Chick: Like omgg I want to let them run a train on me sooooooo bad. |

Hey Guy's. I'm in progress of making a wee website. Trying to get an MP3 file to play on startup and loop when it's finished. So far I've got
But it wont loop. Any idea's? P.s Looking for something like this: http://chickenonaraft.com/ asked Oct 16 '12 at 08:19 Kangeroo |
Actually, having done a bit of digging around it seems that things have gotten even more complicated since I last did anything with sound files in HTML. It may well be that loop is not available in any configuration, at least not in any consistent way. I think you'll be better off using an embedded player and let someone else take care of the headaches! There are some suggestions here .... http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/10-awesome-html5-audio-players ... which include default fallbacks for incomnpatible browsers to ensure that everybody gets sound from your page! answered Oct 16 '12 at 10:44 dunfiddlin |
Embed is not fully supported by many modern browsers and loop doesn't appear to be supported by any! You should use Object instead. answered Oct 16 '12 at 09:05 dunfiddlin Thanks, How would I use the Object? Will the Loop work with the Object also?

Kim Shanley, Publisher
My journey as editor of TennisOne has reawakened my interest in styles of play, as well as methods of teaching and learning. We receive a constant (and welcome) stream of articles written from differing points of view, all attempting to clarify some aspect of the game. Interestingly, the author's point of view influences their language, and often the resulting language either does or does not enable the reader (either you or I) to see things in a new and perhaps clearer light.
So one of the elements I now contemplate concerns the evolution of the game, both from a player's as well as a teacher's perspective. Now there is more topspin, more power, and somehow less net play than in the 50's 60's and 70's. Better racquets and better conditioning may have influenced these trends. But how will the game be played 50 years from now? Similarly, modern coaching appears to embrace more variations in style and grips than in the 50's 60's and 70's. And a pertinent question is whether the teachers have led this evolution, or rather is it the players who have evolved these new styles and the teachers who have observed the changes and incorporated these elements within their teaching efforts? The martial arts have evolved over many centuries and presumably the teaching of the martial arts have changed and kept pace, then what of the tennis teachers in 50 years?
I suspect the teaching will incorporate the sights sounds and feels of tennis, and will move away from verbal description and the resulting command style of coaching. Certainly there are youngsters modeling their game after Federer, just as he emulated Edberg. Sampras watched Laver, and I suspect, without an interminable stream of language from a teacher interpreting what Pete saw. The picture tells the story. Similarly, one can see the balance, the posture, the simplicity, and the whips in Roger's game and any attendant explanation may actually obscure the vision. But now, in high speed photography, playing the images backward and forward on your computer screen, the pictures tell an entirely different story.
So, I believe we have a magnificent tool for visual learners (and remember initially we were all visual learners, for no one described how we might take our first walking steps). You see and study many new things with super slow-motion video. What may have been just words is now translated into crystal clear imagery: balance and footwork, split-step, racquet take-back, coiling, contact point, pronation, follow-through, and recovery can truly be seen and modeled.
Here are a few of my initial guideposts that may help along this learning journey. All the professional examples demonstrate incredibly efficient strokes. Efficiency concerns the energy put into a system and the subsequent output. So we are seeing a tremendous amount of racquet speed, generated effortlessly and timed to peak within the contact zone. As you watch our clips, note the acceleration and deceleration of the racquet, but equally note the contribution of all body parts to that swing. The fancy name is kinetic chain where the forces from the legs move to the torso, to the shoulder, to the upper arm, to the lower arm and to the racquet. But just like children playing crack the whip when ice skating, it is the combination of the forces from all the children that fling the last kid hopefully into a snow bank rather than a tree. But what I personally see in these images is that no one link in the chain dominates or overpowers the others, the transmission of power is smooth rather than forced.
So, find an image that speaks to you and watch it so many times that you can see it in your mind's eye. And then when on court, do not measure or evaluate how your stroke feels in comparison, rather monitor what you feel and specifically where you feel the effort. Generally, whatever part of the stroke feels most effortful indicates that previous elements were not fully engaged. Then revisit the super Slow-Mo of that stroke and look again to see how those previous links are used, and then return to the court.
I think the teaching will evolve into such a language-less learning system, and if so we will all be the richer for it.
As always, we would love to hear from you! Questions, comments, personal experiences all create helpful dialogue for everyone! Please click here to send us your email.

Current Features
Dominating the Backhand Diagonal
More from Wayne Elderton on game based situational training, a practical application to improving your game. This time Wayne focuses on the backhand exchange. A solid backhand exchange is a required skill for effective tennis. Especially when playing against today's typical, big serve/big forehand' players. Many players are weaker on the backhand side. With a little bit of work, you can be dominating by constructing points from a backhand crosscourt exchange.
Timing and How to Explore It
If you've ever swung a child on a playground swing, you understand timing. You wouldn't push when the swing is still coming toward you, nor stop it at the top of its arc and delay letting it go. Those disrupt the rhythm. Instead, you help the swing move its own natural way. In the same manner, Rolf Clark shows you how to help your racquet and body -- your tennis hitting system -- swing that way too.
ProStrokes Gallery: Thomas Enqvist - Serve
Thomas Enqvist has been ranked in the top 100 professional players for the past 13 years. Enqvist relies on a driving topspin forehand, preferring pinpoint placement to looping topspin drives. He is able to move forward, understands the net, and is deadly when openings occur. Make no mistake, this 6'3 pro can get the job done. New this issue - the Enqvist Serve.

A place to exchange information about parts and kits supplied by http://kitsandparts.com
You are not logged in.
I finished up two more bi-directional amps and added them to my SSB transmitter. I just tried to get it to receive and lo and behold it worked right off the bat . Now I just have to make up the appropriate power cables to supply each module with 12 volts depending upon whether it used for transmit or receive. It is very close in concept to Ashhar Fahran's Bitx20 http://www.phonestack.com/farhan/bitx.html.
I changed the pictures in the previous post to reflect the updated boards. I got better at building the amps by the second board. I should have a working 20 meter SSB transceiver by the end of the weekend.
Tom, ak2b
I see you are converted over to the I/O pins also. They sure make it easy to connect and disconnect from the board. I use them on all of my builds.
One great thing about the smd parts, they are really cheap.
Hi Leonard,
Well actually I've used the headers all along. In fact I've re-ordered 3 times now thinking my last order would last forever . I like smd's. Not only are they cheap but you usually get tons of each value - except .1mfd - where you I never seem to have enough.
Tom, ak2b
I finished the BitX20 style transceiver. I made a short recording of the receiver portion. The TX part works but I haven't had a QSO yet.
You will notice in short order that there is no agc. So, the recording starts out fairly quiet and builds to a crescendo at about 1 minute and 3 seconds into it. Don't say I didn't warn you!
Tom, ak2b
Behind this image is the power amp (from Dave Benson) and Diz's 20 meter LPF.
Last edited by ak2b (2009-11-10 19:20:03)
I use the hex spacers also.
I mad a video last weekend testing a bitx20 version 3 lowpass filter, a wa2eby amplifier lowpass filter, and a 20 meter bandpass filter using my network amalyzer. The camera was goofing up and the focus came out bad so I won't put it up. I'll redo it in the next 2 weeks. The wa2eby amplifier filter, http://golddredgervideo.com/kc0wox/wa2ebyamp/index.htm had less than .1 db insertion loss. I was really impressed.
I posted a vna scan of one of Diz's LPF's for 7MHz (Look under LPF) which has about the same insertion loss. Take a look. Does it look like your scan?
I did return loss scans and gain scan's on the W7ZOI bi-directional amps and posted them in the picture section of the emrfd yahoo group under my call. The results were dead on with the published specs. I still feel like a neophyte when it comes to the VNA so any feedback would be appreciated.
Tom, ak2b
http://www.hellocq.net/forum/attachment … tid=152219
I used this amp from Dave Benson's rig which is mounted in the back of the previous picture. It puts out 4 watts and is built on Diz's project board. The LPF is to the right for 20 meters.
Ta Da. I also made my first contact with this rig just a few minutes ago, 19:45:00Z with a station working a QSO party. I had been calling CQ all morning without any results but just happened to hear Larry call QRZ. It is a lousy recording because I wasn't expecting to work anyone - but did have the recorder going just in case.
The clunking in the background is the foot switch used to key the radio.
Tom, ak2b
Tom....you are having WAY TOO MUCH FUN!
Speaking of fun, I'll be on a 7 day cruise out of San Juan P.R. next week
See you all in about 8 days.
73, Diz, W8DIZ
What type of coax are you using between the boards? From the photo it looks like RG59U (looks like fat snakes in the picture!).
Except for the coax from the power amp to the antenna, RG174U should be good enough, and is a LOT easier to tie into
a wiring harness.
The coax is all RG174, which, for everything except very long runs, is really overkill. RG58/59 would be almost impossible to deal with. The photo was taken with a macro setting and the largest looking cable was very close to the camera.
I made another video called Bit-O-Bitx
The video url is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_uBqbEV0-w
Tom, ak2b
Those bi-directional amps do look interesting, it looks like each one is three stages. The bi-directional topology seems natural for a transceiver at first, but there are two problems. First, no receiver agc (or transmitter alc). Not even a place to apply manual gain control. Second, the required gain is NOT the same in both directions. In receive we need all the gain we can apply since we are starting out with microvolts or less of signal. In transmit however we are starting out with VOLTS of signal and only need enough gain to make up for losses in our filters, plus enough drive to saturate our final power amp to full output. So the bi-directional amps probably need fewer stages in the transmit direction than the receive.
I'm planning on using the hybrid cascade amp for the if in the receiver, and something more simple in the transmit stages. I'm not convinced that using the product detector as a balanced modulator is the best idea, though it would work without much fuss using the MCL packaged devices. I was thinking of a pair of MC1496's here, one for the PD and the other for the BM. These are older parts, but with careful bias adjustments and making use full of the differential inputs and outputs they can give good performance.

You are right on the first point - not quite right on the second. If you look at page 5 of Wes's article,
http://w7zoi.net/Bidirectional%20Matche … lifier.pdf you will see a chart for resistor value changes per gain. I my case, I dispensed with such logic, threw caution to the wind, and just built it. I was shocked that I heard anything from the receiver at alll Transmit RF was just about right at 0DBm for my version of Dave Benson's amplifier. I would go back and change the amp ahead of the receive mixer if I were to do anything. I think 7db of gain is plenty for 20 or 15 meters. Yes, you will be rudely reminded very quickly that this receiver has no agc. However, if I had built this transceiver for top performance, I would have dismissed this design all together. Originally I built the ssb transmitter and was quite pleased that it worked. Naturally, I wanted to make it into a transceiver. I figured I would just complete the Dave Benson design (which is really quite a good one) using my Hycas agc/if amp and have done with it. But then I thought, well, I know it will be good, but the BitX with bidirectional amplifiers seemed more interesting. Here was a guy (Ashhar Fahran) who designed a rig with minimal parts so hams in other countries could easily duplicate it. Well, us yanks could easily duplicate it because parts are readily available everywhere. As a result, the BitX20 underwent a major overhaul and became a project that some of ham radios best engineers made refinements to. In any case the original idea has stayed in tact. I just wanted to give it the Diz spin. I knew from the beginning it wasn't the best performer in the world but then, neither is a direct conversion receiver. They still sound good. My version of the BitX sounds better and better every time I brag to someone that I built it myself .
Tom, ak2b
Bragging aside from our construction projects, the Bitx20a receiver sounds better than my FT897d.......well,
so does my K1 and Sierra. Both later rigs can be duplicated with diz's boards, and that's probably why I play with them. I have 2 Bitx kits from India and I'm sure they will sound good too, If I ever get started.
I finally finished my Hycas board, so onward to better things.
Lee, WA8QFE
Hi Lee,
Well, bragging is over-rated. My Bit-o-bitx isn't long for the world. I don't really like ssb but I wanted to see if I could do it. I learned a lot in the process. I want to get back to a cw rig maybe using another type of frequency control like a VXO. The nice thing about using modules is that it makes experimenting easy. I also really like building on the empty boards like the Dave Benson PA and the bi-amplifiers. The board is just about the right size for a VXO .
I have taken a lot of good info from the K1 and K2. The schematics and circuit descriptions are a great source of information. Yesterday I just finished an SW20 from Small Wonder Labs. That is a clever little rig. I am now a big Dave Benson fan.
Lee, please keep us informed of your progress.
Tom, ak2b
I think on one of your posts I saw you were using one of Diz's 10 watt amps....
Just want your input as to the impedance at T3. I want to omit everything from D2 for switching and omit
Q5 and all associated there. Looking to drive the buffer direct at the 1 watt level and 50 ohm input.
What do you think.....as is, my grid dip osc will drive it to full power.
Lee, WA8QFE
melting solder in Extended Stay America, Indianapolis
Hi Lee,
When you say that your GDO will drive it to full power, are you talking at the normal input of the amplifier or at the base of Q4. T3 is a step down transformer most likely designed to match the output Z of Q5 to the input of Q4. Diz is far more capable of answering your question than I. But, I am curious where you are getting 1 watt from and why you no longer want to use D2?
Tom, ak2b
I'm wanting to use the amp for a Sierra, and don't need the input amp or the on board switching.
I'm just playing.....
The HYCAS board works perfectly well, its just a little too big. I wanted something a little smaller in keeping with the Erector RX so I copied the K2 AGC stone for stone. Elecraft uses an NE602 to mix their 4.9 MHz IF with a 5.068 MHz crystal to 150 KHz, amplify it with an audio op-amp, rectify it and use it on the AGC pin of the MC1350. It is an interesting way to do agc. I swapped the 5.068 MHz crystal with a 4.9 MHz one. The board works fine and pretty close to the original. Ive always like the agc in the K2 in that it is a nice gentle curve rather than reaching a threshold and keeping everything the same level. Jack Smith did an excellent analysis of the K2 agc.
The only thing that doesnt seem to work is the IF gain control. It doesnt make much of a difference in gain regardless of where it is set (unlike like the K2). I dont know how to fix this yet.
Tom, ak2b
I see you're a fan of those little blank PCB boards that Diz sales, I made an order a few weeks ago with Diz and fully meant to order some, but just plum forgot I think they look "cute"

Hi Gary,
Yes, I like the generic boards more and more. They actually are nicely spaced for size 802 smd's. You can buy smd's by the pound on the internet for very cheap. Here is another board I built up using a TriQuent AG302-86. They are $1.95 at Mouser. It is a handy dandy 16db gain block with a 50 ohm input/output impedance. It also comes in a slightly higher gain but the number escapes me at the moment. Pete, N6QW introduced me to these gain blocks. He uses two of them for a bi-directional amplifier that he has designed.

The move will effectively split the public safety department into the individual police and fire departments that were standard in the city until the mid-1990s.
City manager Frank Etheridge said that by splitting the departments and eliminating the public safety director position formerly held by Tommy Freeman, the city can save money in salaries over the long run.
"The separation would permit us to reduce the pay rate classifications slightly for the police chief position and increase it slightly for a fire chief position (above the fire captain position)," said Etheridge in a memo to the council detailing the proposed change.
"I think from a practical standpoint," council member Ben Bradford said, "it'd be better for morale to have the people that are involved in fire control and the firemen to be answering to a fireman. And I think that'll be better for all departments, police and fire."
After the council's agreement, Etheridge immediately moved forward to create and display job postings both within the current departments as well as outside the city.
No final decisions as to the new police chief and fire chief appointments have yet been made, and Etheridge is open to any qualified candidate who wishes to apply.

Check out the DG homepage for a brief overview of what you'll find in this gardening mega-site.
By Jill M. Nicolaus (critterologist)April 25, 2008
My husband and I were married on Earth Day, and this year we're celebrating our 10th anniversary on Arbor Day. We've planted a lot of trees in our yard, and many of them were chosen to mark an occasion. Each spring as we watch them leaf out, there's an extra joy in remembering when and why we planted those particular trees. The cluster of little Dogwood trees and Encore Azaleas in our front yard (photo at right) was planted in memory of our years at Duke University, where we met.
The traditional theme for a 5th anniversary gift is "wood." We interpreted this a little less traditionally... our 5th anniversary gift to each other was a little home orchard for our new back yard. We chose dwarf varieties in order to have as many kinds of fruit as possible, and with careful spacing we squeezed in a dozen trees along one side of our lot. We had fun considering and debating about which trees to include, splitting them between mutual favorites (apples, pears, plums) and special favorites (cherries for him, nectarine and apricot trees for me). In spacing the trees for the orchard, I saved enough space in the back corner for a pair of pecan trees that I gave my husband as a birthday gift. It'll be a while yet before he gets any pecan pie from those trees; they're still small enough that a new branch is a cause for celebration.A wonderful way to remember special people is to plant a tree that shares their name. Neighbors of ours wanted to plant a tree to commemorate the birth of their baby girl. They were thrilled to find a tree with the same name they'd given her. Every year, she has her "first day of school" photo taken in front of the tree, and every year she and the tree are both a little bigger. I couldn't resist getting a beautiful little Magnolia last year, partly because it had the same name as one of my best friends.
Pass-alongs also have a special place in our gardens and in our hearts. I cherish my "Great-Aunt Erna's Lilac," planted close to the deck where we can enjoy its fragrance. A low spot in one corner of our yard holds a beautiful crooked willow tree, my mother's favorite, which she propagated for us from a branch of her tree. An offshoot from my mother-in-law's Nandina graces another garden bed.
With commemorative trees, I think it's important to fix on the idea of the tree rather than on a specific specimen. Otherwise, you'll take it as a bad omen when the tree you planted for Uncle Jeff's 50th birthday dies the next year.
My husband proposed to me under a Weeping Willow tree, so when I laid out a landscaping plan seven years ago for our new yard, I marked off an entire back corner for a willow. We had a soggy spot that seemed perfect! The first willow sapling had a too-short taproot and didn't make it. Undeterred, we planted another. This one responded to the abundant moisture by flopping into a U shape, like a girl bending over to dry her long hair in the breeze. After several years of pruning it severely and tangling it in long ropes in vain attempts to get it to straighten up, we finally had to admit it was a lost cause. We'd planted the wrong tree in the wrong spot. That's hard to admit when you have an emotional connection to a tree!
Since we don't have quite enough space to plant another willow closer to the house in a less wet location, we decided we needed to replace it with another tree entirely. This tree will also be special, since we'll plant it on our anniversary. We thought we'd have to search for weeks, but at our first nursery stop we found a beautiful little Weeping Higan Cherry. We'll be planting it this evening, and it will be the perfect focal point near the corner of the L-shaped garden bed that edges our lawn. With it in place, I think we will be able to "let go" of the weeping willow that just didn't work out. In its place, I'm planning to put a small water feature. A weeping cherry next to a little pond will still remind us of the setting where Jim said "Will you?" and Jill said "Yes!" Having it also mark our 10th anniversary will make it doubly special.
Arbor Day itself is an occasion to plant trees. Commemorative planting of special trees on other occasions adds personal meaning as well as beauty to your landscape. A New Arrival, an Anniversary, a Homecoming, a Birthday, a Graduation, a Family Reunion—any day can be an Arbor Day!
Happy Arbor Day!

a) "the magnetic interlocks have been ruptured, plasma coolant is leaking and a warp core breach is imminent. Riker orders Troi to evacuate the engineering section at once and Data to prepare the ship for an emergency saucer separation."
Whatever the "magnetic interlocks" really do, Memory Alpha doesn't say. It's possible that they prevent the core from being ejected, or the core itself became stuck and could not be ejected quickly enough. Or once the plasma coolant begins to leak, the controls to eject it are in the vicinity of the leak, and nowhere else, making it impossible to quickly eject the core without being overcome with coolant exposure. Either way, ejecting the core was never presented as an option. It was "we have a problem / evacuate / separate / get away / ka-boom / crash."
b) Time. LaForge believed he had five minutes before the warp core would breach. He did not. There was very little time for all personnel to evacuate from the secondary hull into the saucer. At that point, separating the saucer became the highest priority, and until separation was complete, it wouldn't matter if the ship was stationary or trying to get away from Veridian III as fast as possible; the star drive was coming with the saucer. Right after saucer separation was complete, the warp core blew earlier than was expected. The shock wave expands outward in all directions spherically regardless of direction, but even more critical, helm control was disabled, which prevented the bridge from steering the saucer into orbit. Had they known that helm control would be knocked out, they may have tried to get into a higher orbit to begin with. Instead, they became a falling brick, and all Data could do was reroute auxiliary to level their descent.
Because Paramount wanted a new Enterprise. That's why. If ejecting the core could have saved the ship, it was off the table.
Wow, Wojo, what an insightful and well-thought-out response! Thank you so much for gracing the message board with your wisdom!
Aww, thanks, Wojo, you're too kind. It was the least I could do.
