Tim Schafer's latest creation Costume Quest hits the store this week, and it's the perfect title for unleashing your inner child and embracing Halloween with pure unadulterated joy (that you would usually get scorned for as an adult). No matter how I try and describe this title I'll most likely do it a disservice, so just check it out and make up your own mind "
Sad to hear you go, hopefully someone will continue with the updates when you're gone.
New video of the Last Guardian, hope it's some new footage.

Upcoming events
9/29: Folsom St. Fair After-Party w/ Icky Blossoms, Return to Mono, Metal Mother, + Sit Kitty Sit @ DNA Lounge
This show marked my first time at DNA Lounge, which was overall a great venue with excellent staff (though I found it a bit pricey for drinks, however).
This was my third time seeing Return to Mono, but only the first time I've been able to stay for their entire set. But let's gloss over how many times I've kicked myself over that now, and move on to the important bits - the music.
Return to Mono could be summed up as "electro-rock", and while that is true, it would be disingenuous to leave it at that.
Singer Tanya Kelleher is a tiny doll of a woman possessed of both an astonishingly strong voice and a composed and natural stage presence.
She manages to charm and captivate the crowd instantly; a super-power if there ever was one.
Combine that with J.G. Paulos's razor-sharp guitar work and the atmosphere and beats provided by Andy Sybilrud, and you have an intoxicatingly catchy mix of sexy pop, rock, dance, and electronica that will compel you to dance - even if you suck at dancing (like me!).
Books on Fate (né Books on Tape) is another local favorite of mine, and were the headliners at the first show I attended in San Francisco after moving.
Adam Dishart (formerly of Catholic Comb) expertly weaves his bittersweet and beautiful music with lyrics that tell the kind of story you keep turning over in your mind long after you have read the last page and closed the book. Dishart is a confident, skilled musician with a one-of-a-kind voice that evokes emotions and memories you thought you had forgotten.
The addition of accordion during this set lent a vintage warmth to the songs and added to the intimate feeling of the performance. Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you how much I love accordion (not to mention how often I lament that I don't know how to play!). Perhaps that makes me a bit biased, but I still think the world could use more accordion.
Dishart closed with a solo version of Catholic Comb's "Vampire Life" - a favorite song of mine, and always a treat to hear live.
This evening marked the premier of Stripmall Architecture's new album, "Suburban Reverb".
By the time they went on, the crowd was in full force and the front of the room was so packed that I couldn't get close enough to take any decent pictures (and by the way, why does it seem that all of the tallest people at any given event always stand in front of the shorter folks?).
Stripmall Architecture filled the room with their brand of minimal, yet complex electronica, bathed in stark lighting that ratcheted up the intensity. Vocalist Rebecca Coseboom appeared larger than life on stage, adorned in a headdress that called to mind a somewhat sinister modern version of "The Virgin Queen". Her performance was as much visual as aural, artfully blending the two into a singular experience.
The driving rhythms and atmospheric synth meld with Coseboom's ethereal vocals to create a sonic front that deftly escapes the boundaries of the genre.
Since I failed to get any of my own photos, here's one I shamelessly nicked from the band's website:

AdBlue®...the green solution to emissions.
Euro 4 emission regulations introduced from October 2006 further limited the amounts Of Nitrous Oxides (NOx) and particulates that diesel vehicles could emit. These limits reduced again with the introduction of Euro 5 in October 2009 and will again in the future with the introduction of Euro 6.To reach these standards, all of the vehicle manufacturers have chosen to treat the exhaust gases downstream of the engine manifold with a technique called Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). The fuel for the SCR system is called AdBlue, a high purity solution of Urea. Whilst Urea solution itself is not hazardous to handle or transport, care needs to be taken when storing AdBlue or filling the vehicles to prevent irreversible and expensive damage to the catalyst system from contaminants such as dust or oil.
Watson is an authorised distributor of Greenox AdBlue and can supply your business with quantities to suit your needs; whether you're a retail forecourt selling 10L or 18L, a farmer after a barrel to use for your new agricultural machinery or a large haulage company needing something more, Watson has the solution for you.

Kilcar, Donegal
Belated Easter holiday took us to the West coast of Ireland. Our cottage for the week situated at curris just 2 miles beyond Kilcar.
Stable door just like home and my kind of decor here at Greenhills.
Its an upside down house so you can enjoy the view better by having the living space upstairs.
Smudge had it checked out in less than 5 minutes. Upstairs is open plan with a raised deck reaching down over the front door. I love the painted floors.
We have a friendly black dog next door who insists on paying a visit at least twice a day

Ed Sheeran has been trying for five years to land a cameo role in TV show Game Of Thrones.
During a panel chat at the 2017 South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival in Texas in March (17), the show's creator David Benioff announced that the Thinking Out Loud singer had been given a small part in the upcoming season seven. He explained they had been working on securing his appearance for years as actress Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark, is a big fan.
Ed has now revealed that he's been trying to get on the show since 2012, when his pal Gary Lightbody, from Snow Patrol, had a cameo and Ed asked the rocker to help him get one too.
"My friend guested in it in 2012 and I remember I was on tour with him and he was like: 'Right, I've got a guest slot on Game of Thrones'. I remember saying: 'You got to get me on it at some point,'" he recalled, according to the Daily Star newspaper. "It's been five years so it's finally come true."
According to the publication, the 26-year-old filmed scenes alongside Maisie in November (16) and he always has the opportunity to come back in the future because his character doesn't get killed off.
"I don't die in it, I don't die," he explained. "I'm only in it for like five minutes. I'd probably prefer to have sex than die in the show. I'm sure a lot of people are into that (have sex and die) but I'm not."
At SXSW, Benioff explained, "For years, we tried to get Ed Sheeran on the show to surprise Maisie, and this year we finally did it."
Ed isn't the only new famous face on the show - Jim Broadbent has joined the cast in a regular role.
The new season will premiere this summer (Jul17).

CAPACCIO: Trade of Dareus yet another sign new Bills' regime won't be swayed from plan
If there were any doubt, any whatsoever, that the new Bills' regime was going to stick to their plan, and not be swayed by what looks to be a more-promising-than-thought season, Friday night should put that notion to rest once and for all.
It's not just that the team traded a player as talented as Marcell Dareus, or that they only got a conditional sixth-round draft pick in return for him. Or even that they did it with the willingness to eat $24 million in dead salary cap space over the next season and a half. It's that they did all of that while actually winning games and having a real chance to end their seventeen year playoff drought. They traded a player who is good enough to help them do that. Yet they did it with the conviction that it won't change the positive direction the season is already going.
Can you imagine if this move was made in August, before the season started? Imagine if it was made around the same time the team traded away Sammy Watkins and Ronald Darby? Many fans and media were already dubbing the season a "tank," saying the team was getting rid of their best players in order to go to the bottom and get the best draft pick they can.
What if this move has been included at the time, too? Some would probably feel the league should step in and stop them from becoming so incredibly bad on purpose.
But, they didn't do it then. They did it in late October, after seven regular season weeks, with their record sitting at 4-2. What would have been a move seen as tanking, is suddenly embraced as one of proactivity, shrewdness, and a calculated part of the process.
The former number-three overall draft pick was simply never going to fit in with head coach Sean McDermott's and GM Brandon Beane's vision for this club. Even though he was given a clean slate when they walked in the door, Dareus immediately dirtied it when he was late for a preseason game in Baltimore, then basically laughed-off questions about being sent home because of it when he met with reporters a couple days later.
Could he have regained their trust and confidence? Perhaps. But given his history, one already riddled with team and league suspensions, on top of questions about his commitment to the team and his own body, that would have taken two monumental leaps. The first from Dareus himself, to get to a place both physically and mentally he hadn't been and still appeared unwilling to go. The other a leap of faith in him by McDermott and Beane.
Neither was happening.
Maybe Dareus goes to Jacksonville and, under his former coach Doug Marrone (who twice suspended him for tardiness while the two were together in Buffalo), he rediscovers his commitment to the game, himself, and his team, and regains his Pro Bowl form.
Maybe the Jags see exactly what the Bills have seen in him over the past three years and decide to cut bait after this or next season, too.
Either way it goes, it won't matter to McDermott or Beane. They have a plan for the future and they're sticking to it no matter what. Dareus simply wasn't in those plans. And if there's one thing we've learned about these two men now running the show, if you're not in their plan for the future, they have no room for you in the present, either.

Smart car cyber-security guidelines demanded by UK government
The UK government has called on automakers to better protect internet-connected vehicles from cyber-attacks especially in light of the upcoming introduction of driverless vehicles.
The government said it was concerned that smart vehicles, which allow drivers to perform useful tasks such as accessing maps and travel information, could be targeted by hackers to access personal data, steal cars that use keyless entry systems, or take control of technology for malicious reasons.
Under new government guidance, engineers developing smart vehicles will have to toughen up cyber protection and help eliminate hacking.
Transport minister Lord Callanan said the risk of hacking was low, but insisted that protecting vehicles against cyber attacks was "important".
"There are huge safety advantages for the public in using this technology, that's one of the key drivers of it," Lord Callanan said, "but there are some things we need to beware of and cyber security is a particularly important part of it.
"We need to make sure that the designs of the vehicles in the first place are completely cyber secure so that people can't break into them, they can't steal them and more importantly they can't hack them to potentially cause accidents."
Lord Callanan said members of the public could also take steps to protect their vehicles from hackers.
"The advice would be treat them as you would your computer," he added, during a visit to Bristol.
"Be careful who you give access to, don't plug in devices such as USB sticks that you don't know the origin of. Be careful what apps you download to it, make sure you have the latest software."
Vehicles that self-park are already on British roads and fully self-driving cars will be widely available "very quickly", the minister added.
"We are already at some degrees of autonomy with vehicles even now, you can have them doing an awful lot," he said.
"We need to make people aware of the fact that they are coming, they offer tremendous advantages but there are one or two threats that we need to make people aware of."
Meanwhile a team from the University of Washington has discovered that self-driving cars are easily tricked by placing stickers on road signs.
By placing stickers or posters over a section of a road sign, smart cars would typically ignore stop signs for example and continue driving.
It was suggested that if car hackers gained access to the visual recognition software used within the vehicle, simple, targeted alterations to road signs could cause the car to misread them.
The team was able to create a stop sign that just looks splotchy or faded to human eyes but that was consistently classified by a computer vision system as a 'Speed Limit 45' sign.
To counter this, the researchers said the vehicles could use an AI system that takes contextual information to verify that a sign is accurate. For example, questioning whether a stop sign on a motorway or a high-speed limit on a back road are legitimate.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 on Demand
When it comes to gaining an understanding any give concept, resource material is always a very vital element to have. Understanding the concept of adobe photoshop is no different. There are a number of photoshop books which normally focus on providing this kind of valid information. A good example of such a book is the Adobe Photoshop CS6 on Demand book. For those who have ever tried using the Adobe Photoshop CS6 program, they can attest to the fact that the program is quite sophisticated especially to the beginners. This book is only one amongst the many photoshop books which normally try to make the Adobe Photoshop CS6 experience a rather worthwhile experience. The book provides the owner with the required techniques of making the entire affair easy. The interesting book was written by Steve Johnson who was fully aware of the technicalities involved in operating the Adobe Photoshop CS6 program.
According to the author the book can be distinguished from the other photoshop books by its impressive features such as the ability to incorporate the use of full illustration colors and also its ability to use easy and simple instructions. The book can also be available online. The online version of the book provides the subscriber with an opportunity of experiencing other additional features which are normally included in the online package.
Benefits associated with owning the Adobe Photoshop CS6 on Demand book
Almost all of the photoshop books tend to have some educational value that they add to their readers. These benefits however are limited to this particular book;
- The book offers both details and clarity. The book providers the reader with a rather easy interface to read the materials and gain an understanding of the explained concepts. Most of the explanations provided in the book are fitted on one page hence making the reader have a quick grasp and understanding of the concepts. The book is fully equipped with images which are aimed at enhancing the clarity of the subject matter. In summary the book ensures that all the information is presented in a clear and illustrative manner to enhance the understanding process.
- The information is provided in a very well written format. Unlike many of the photoshop books, this book actually avails the information in a rather well written and concise manner. Most of the explanations are located on one page with clear cut step by step features. The book contains all the available information you might need concerning the Adobe Photoshop CS6 program hence making it very informative.
- The book provides reading convenience to the user. The formatting of the book ensures that the book provides the reader with a rather easy time when it comes to going through the contents. The mode of presentation of the materials also provides the reader with an easy task when it comes to reading the material.
- The book is fully equipped to cater for the needs of all audience. The book can be used by beginner, intermediate users and even the experts in the Adobe Photoshop CS6 field.
Cons associated with the book.
With this book, the cons are very few unlike in some of the other photoshop books. To an outright beginner the book may present a number of related challenges simply because the book is known to contain some technical commands which for a beginner may seem rather complex.

Don't be put off by the cheap price, works great! Posted by: lynfen from: on We cut the cable last spring and haven't missed TV, since we can watch online. But now we want to watch football on local channels, so I reviewed several antennas and came across this one. Yes, it's inexpensive (cheap), but BB customer service said to keep the box in case we wanted to return it. No hassles and they didn't try to push us to a more expensive item. FYI: We live in a metropolitan city of 400, 000 with no mountains around us. We have a 2011 model Vizio HDTV and the antenna set-up took less than 10 minutes. Put the antenna together in a snap, screwed the coaxial cable that comes with the antenna into the TV, scanned the channels and we got 22 of them, including ABC, CBS, NBC, three PBS channels and a lot of others that come in clear and crisp Not sure how it would work in your area, but it is worth trying. Keep the box if you're worried about having to return it. We are completely satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend the product for those who don't need 200+ channels of mostly unwatchable cable shows.
9 out of 9 found this review helpful.Ok Antenna Posted by: MsSyb from: on So glad I did not listen to the Best Buy Associate on this product. First off, he did not acknowledge me as I stood looking clueless in front of the tv antenna section. My Mom had to follow him to ask for assistance. Then, he didn't even wait for me to ask my question, he came over and said, "Everyone has been returning all of the indoor tv antennas because they don't work." He then pointed to the most expensive indoor tv antenna (about $200) and said, "That's the only one that works." And he turned and walked away! How rude! Needless to say, I decided NOT to listen to him and I purchased this Insignia Indoor HDTV Antenna on sale for $14. While I did not get all of the channels, I did get most of the major network channels (CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, and ION to name a few). So much for the Best Buy Associates recommendation, not to mention his lack of professionalism, and poor customer service.
6 out of 7 found this review helpful.Great - Cheap and Effective Posted by: Jmart from: on I read a bunch of reviews online about many different antennas. I settled on this one as most said to avoid overly expensive ($45 and above) as they bring in the same amount of channels. I'm glad I listened. While I can't compare a more expensive model to this one (my personal advice would be to start cheap until you find one that matches how many and what channels you want) what I can tell you is that this brought in all the channels I wanted and then some (30+ all in HD). There was some minor troubleshooting/fiddling as my local ABC kept cutting in and out, but a little adjusting took care of that. And if you adjust properly, you might get even more channels than you originally had first hooked it up. I got exactly what I wanted out of this antenna.
2 out of 2 found this review helpful.Best Bang for your Buck Posted by: RobR from: on I had already bought an antenna that is supposed to be paper thin and put on the wall with a range of 50 miles. I didn't pick up anything with it in multiple locations. This one was a fraction of the cost and was picking up multiple stations that were supposed to be way beyond my reach. For the price of this you can't beat it.
3 out of 3 found this review helpful.Excellent product Posted by: Proshan from: on I tried three other indoor antennas before this: Mohu 50, RCA ANT (Both purchased in best buy) and one viewtv flat from amazon. The only one good was mohu but it cost around $75 while some channels had laggy videos. Then I gave this one a try. I am surprised with the results. Mohu ($75) while place on window pulled 27 channels and this($13) pulled 28 channel sitting right under the TV and no choppy videos. I highly recommend this product.

Hurricane Sandy taught us an important lesson about survival.
Its impossible for the government to rescue entire cities immediately following a disaster.
Even if you can make it to your local gas station, dont expect it to be operational either.
Gas pumps use electric motors to dispense the gasoline. Without electricity, its stuck in underground storage tanks.

A few times, I've alluded to the work I do with my church's youth group here on the blog. I became the youth leader of the church we attend back in May, and since then, I've gotten to know a small, but great group of kids. I've become a friend and a mentor in a way I never would have expected and probably never would have stepped up to do if I hadn't felt that special type of tug and push. Every time I think about it too hard, I get a little nervous at the enormity of the work I do with them: I am here to pour into them, to give them spiritual guidance throughout their lives. I do believe – and hope – the relationships I am building now aren't just going to last until they graduate high school.
Anyway, enough of the sappy stuff. Since Monday nights are our regular youth night, but since I wanted to experience Halloween in our new neighbourhood for the first time, I invited the whole lot of them to come out to my place to help hand out candy, carve pumpkins, eat pizza, etc. etc. Four of 'my' kids showed up and had a properly rowdy time making a huge, wonderful mess of our house.
Their pumpkins adorned our front porch as they handed out candy with the most gusto I have ever seen on Halloween night. By the time I dropped them all off at their homes, they were exhausted. No surprise: we got about 300 kids, and each one got a rousing, energetic greeting that probably scared them more than anything properly Halloweeny.
And my pumpkin? Pekoe, sitting on the edge of the moon:
We are, by no means, professional pumpkin carvers here.
Did you have a successful Halloween night? Do you get a lot of kids knocking on your door or just a few?

(Reuters) - Englishman Justin Rose found his putting touch in time to take the lead during the second round at the $9 million WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio on Friday.
Rose struggled to read the greens early but had few complaints after a three-under-par 67 at Firestone Country Club.
He recorded an eight-under 132 halfway total, one stroke ahead of Australian Marc Leishman (69) and two in front of American Rickie Fowler with half the 76-man field still on the course.
Tiger Woods drove poorly but eked out a 71 to trail by seven shots on a course where he has won a record seven times.
Rose, who hit 16 greens in regulation, described his round as a "stark contrast" to his opening 65.
"Yesterday I scrambled it around and made everything," the world number four told Golf Channel. "Today I hit it much closer to the hole, gave myself plenty of looks and didn't make as many.
"Early on I just wasn't seeing the breaks very well. I began to putt much better on the back nine.
"I had the opportunity to shoot a low one today but all in all it was a nice step forward the way I felt with my long game."
First round leader Leishman had a "scare" at the first hole when his approach shot to four feet set up a likely birdie, only to three-putt for a bogey.
"After that I holed a few good putts," said the world number 51, who is coming off a tie for fifth at the British Open.
"I feel like I'm playing well. It is a tough course. If you're not hitting good shots, you can make bogeys pretty good, as I showed out there today."
Woods, in just his third event since March back surgery, was not exactly a model of accuracy off the tee at a course with plenty of rough waiting to gobble up errant shots.
The defending champion scrambled well at times, though the par-four ninth (his 18th) was not one of those occasions. After driving into the right rough, Woods tried to get home with a five-wood, only to slice the ball into another poor lie 40 yards short of the hole, from where he bogeyed.

|Simple Motor Controllers.
The Pololu Simple Motor Controllers are versatile, general-purpose motor controllers for brushed, DC motors. A wide operating range of up to 5.5–40V and the ability to deliver up to several hundred Watts in a small form factor make these controllers suitable for many motor control applications. With a variety of supported interfaces—USB for direct connection to a computer, TTL serial for use with embedded systems, RC hobby servo pulses for use as an RC-controlled electronic speed control (ESC), and analog voltages for use with a potentiometer or analog joystick—and a wide array of configurable settings, these motor controllers make it easy to add basic control of brushed DC motors to a variety of projects. Although this motor controller has many more features than competing products, a free configuration utility (for Windows 8, 7, Vista, Windows XP, and Linux) simplifies initial setup of the device and allows for in-system testing and monitoring of the controller via USB.
For 24 V applications, Pololu recommend the 24v12 or 24v23 versions. Pololu strongly recommend against using the 18v7, 18v15, or 18v25 with 24 V batteries, which can significantly exceed 24 V when fully charged and are dangerously close to the maximum voltage limits of these lower-voltage controllers.
|Simple High-Power Motor Controller 18v25 or 24v23 simplified connection diagram.
Key Features
- Simple bidirectional control of one DC brush motor.
- 5.5 V to 30 V (18v7, 18v15, and 18v25) or 40 V (24v12 and 24v23) operating supply range.
- 7 A to 25 A maximum continuous current output without a heat sink, depending on controller model
- Four communication or control options:
- USB interface for direct connection to a PC.
- Logic-level (TTL) serial interface for direct connection to microcontrollers or other embedded controllers.
- Hobby radio control (RC) pulse width interface for direct connection to an RC receiver or RC servo controller.
- 0–3.3 V analog voltage interface for direct connection to potentiometers and analog joysticks.
- Simple configuration and calibration over USB with free configuration program (Windows 8, 7, Vista, Windows XP, and Linux compatible).
Note: A USB A to mini-B cable (not included) is required to connect this controller to a computer.
Additional Features
- Comprehensive user's guide with plenty of connection diagrams and sample code.
- Adjustable maximum acceleration and deceleration to limit electrical and mechanical stress on the system.
- Adjustable starting speed, maximum speed, and amount of braking when speed is zero.
- Optional safety controls to avoid unexpectedly powering the motor.
- Input calibration (learning) and adjustable scaling degree for analog and RC signals.
- Under-voltage shutoff with hysteresis for use with batteries vulnerable to over-discharging (e.g. LiPo cells).
- Adjustable over-temperature threshold and response.
- Adjustable PWM frequency from 1 kHz to 22 kHz (maximum frequency is ultrasonic, eliminating switching-induced audible motor shaft vibration).
- Error LED linked to a digital ERR output, and connecting the error outputs of multiple controllers together optionally causes all connected controllers to shut down when any one of them experiences an error.
- Field-upgradeable firmware.
- USB/Serial features:
- Controllable from a computer with native USB, via serial commands sent to the device's virtual serial (COM) port, or via TTL serial through the device's RX/TX pins.
- Example code in C#, Visual Basic .NET, and Visual C++ is available in the Pololu USB Software Development Kit
- Optional CRC error detection to eliminate communication errors caused by noise or software faults.
- Optional command timeout (shut off motors if communication ceases).
- Supports automatic baud rate detection from 1200 bps to 500 kbps, or can be configured to run at a fixed baud rate.
- Supports standard compact and Pololu protocols as well as the Scott Edwards Mini SSC protocol and an ASCII protocol for simple serial control from a terminal program.
- Optional serial response delay for communicating with half-duplex controllers such as the Basic Stamp.
- Controllers can be easily chained together and to other Pololu serial motor and servo controllers to control hundreds of motors using a single serial line.
|Two Pololu Simple Motor Controllers enable mixed RC-control of Dagu Wild Thumper 4WD all-terrain chassis.
- RC features:
- 1/4 µs pulse measurement resolution.
- Works with RC pulse frequencies from 10 to 333 Hz.
- Configurable parameters for determining what constitutes an acceptable RC signal.
- Two RC channels allow for single-stick (mixed) motor control, making it easy to use two simple motor controllers in tandem on an RC-controlled differential-drive robot (you might find Pololu's RC servo Y splitter cables useful for connecting two SMCs to a single RC receiver).
- RC channels can be used in any mode as limit or kill switches (e.g. use an RC receiver to trigger a kill switch on your autonomous robot).
- Battery elimination circuit (BEC) jumper can power the RC receiver with 5 V or 3.3 V.
- Analog features:
- 0.8 mV (12-bit) measurement resolution.
- Works with 0 to 3.3 V inputs.
- Optional potentiometer/joystick disconnect detection.
- Two analog channels allow for single-stick (mixed) motor control, making it easy to use two simple motor controllers in tandem on a joystick-controlled differential-drive robot.
- Analog channels can be used in any mode as limit or kill switches.
This video demonstrates the versatility of the Simple Motor Controller by showing how it can be controlled directly from the analog output of a Sharp analog distance sensor—there is no intermediate control board and no programming involved. For more information on this example, including the SMC settings file and a list of parts used, see Pololu's blog post about the demo.

1 we do not recommend using the 18v7, 18v15, or 18v25 versions with 24 V batteries, which can significantly exceed 24 V when fully charged. The 24v12 and 24v23 are the much more appropriate controller for 24 V applications.
2 This is the weight of the board without header pins, terminal blocks, or through-hole power capacitor.
Included Hardware
Most Simple Motor Controllers are available "fully assembled", with the power capacitor and connectors pre-installed, or with these components included but not soldered in. For example, a fully assembled 18v15 ships as shown in the left picture above, and an 18v15 with included hardware ships as shown in the right picture above (the included hardware consists of a power capacitor, a 40×1 straight 0.1" male header strip, a 5mm-pitch 4-pin terminal block, and a blue shorting block).
The connector-free version allows flexibility in choice of connectors and placement of the power capacitor (e.g. on the other side of the board) to accommodate compact installations or to make room for a heat sink.
Note: The power capacitor has a significant effect on performance; the included capacitor is the minimum size recommended, and bigger ones can be added if there is space. A bigger capacitor might be required if the power supply is poor or far (more than about a foot) from the controller.
The included terminal blocks are only rated for 16 A, so they recommend soldering thick wires directly to the connector-free version of the board and using higher-current connectors for applications that will exceed the terminal blocks' ratings.
Warning: Take proper safety precautions when using high-power electronics. Make sure you know what you are doing when using high voltages or currents! During normal operation, this product can get hot enough to burn you. Take care when handling this product or other components connected to it.

One of the most useful books I've read about mental illnesses-and as the father of a son with a severe mental disorder, I've read just about all of them. It demystifies our complicated medical and legal system, explaining everything from 'chemical imbalances' to involuntary commitment procedures to the most recent advances in brain mapping. If you have a mental disorder, love someone who has one, or are a doctor, therapist, social worker, lawyer, judge, or criminal justice professional, you need to read this book. -- Pete Earley, New York Times bestselling author of CRAZY: A Father's Search through America's Mental Health Madness In the too-often confusing and fractured world of mental health services, Shrink Rap is a ready resource for patients and their families looking for more insight into the range of services available and how they are delivered. -- Keith Ablow, M.D., psychiatrist, Fox News contributor, and coauthor of The 7: Seven Wonders to Change Your Life
Dinah Miller, M.D., a psychiatrist and writer, is in private practice and is a consulting psychiatrist for the Johns Hopkins Hospital Community Psychiatry Program. Annette Hanson, M.D., is a forensic psychiatrist with appointments at the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins Hospital. Steven Roy Daviss, M.D., also on the faculty at the University of Maryland, is a hospital-based psychiatrist and medical informatician and is chair of the Department of Psychiatry at Baltimore Washington Medical Center. All three created Shrink Rap, a blog by psychiatrists for psychiatrists, and My Three Shrinks, a podcast series about psychiatry.
It's a fascinating peek into the minds of those who study minds. -- Rachel Saslow Washington Post [Shrink Rap], the 'straight-talking guide to psychiatric care'... Although they explain psychiatry in all its merits and failings, acknowledging the limitations of their field, these are clearly three shrinks who love their jobs. -- Kristen Intlekofer Johns Hopkins Magazine An intriguing read. Midwest Book Review The public should have a general understanding of important illnesses as well as the relative roles of patients, clinicians, and the economic, medical and political environments in treating them. It would make the discussion of healthcare reform a great deal more meaningful. This edition of Shrink Rap is an excellent beginning.The bottom line: if you or anyone you know has any interest in the world of psychiatry, do them a favor and have them ' Shrink Rapped'. It's a very worthwhile read. -- Dr. Doug Perednia Road to Hellth Most of us easily understand how to treat a broken arm, but a fractured psyche? That's an entirely different matter. Or is it? This clear-headed presentation of psychiatric services and methods covers a lot of ground and achieves a conversational tone that's both educational and entertaining. -- John Lewis Baltimore Magazine While topics are addressed soundly for the professional reader, the authors' optimism and humor consistently shine through, creating an informative and entertaining resource for patients and families -- Margaret S. Chisolm International Review of Psychiatry The authors convey a rich and detailed picture of psychiatry. They use plain English and reduce the use of medical jargon to the minimum: the book is thus usable by anyone interested in the topic. -- Silvia Di Paola Metapsychology

Prime Beachside Real Estate on the East Coast of Bali,Ketewel - FreeholdReference ID: VE-001
Prime Beachside Real Estate on the East Coast of Bali. This gorgeous beachside villa with spectacular views of the beach and Mount Agung is located at Pabean beach, a Balinese community on Bali's East Coast. The developer selected this location for several reasons. It is strategically positioned halfway between the center of Ubud which is famous for handicrafts and traditional dances, and the Trendy Seminyak and the west coast villages (50 minutes drive to both places). It is only 45 minutes to Ngurah Rai International airport and less than half an hour to Sanur. And given that fact that the east cost is more typically suited for family life or a more peaceful lifestyle, this villa lies within range of schools, parks, zoos and family oriented activities.
There are 7 multi-levelled villas set within a gated estate of 5000 square meters, each of them designed by world-renowned architects using high end quality finishes and build to the highest of international standards. Each villa consists of 3 en-suites bedrooms, a modern kitchen, an enclosed living & dining area which can easily be opened to enjoy the cool Balinese sea breeze, a private garden with 15m swimming pool, staff quarters, 24-hour security, parking for two cars and a rooftop lounge with bale and jacuzzi, offering great views of the ocean. The villas offer 544sqm of build area on the range from 555sqm to 632sqm of land, and an optional management program.
This new development is the ultimate representation of accessible seclusion both for residential use as well as a relaxing holiday retreat, with 3.5 hectares of five star facilities and accommodation within the integrated resort including townhouses and apartments, all complemented by a private beach club, organic gardens, a seafood restaurant and a gallery.

I love using a natural remedy for what ails me whenever I can, and I just read a really cool one for cough and cold's on a blog I follow. I just love how simple it is!
This weekend my bother-in-law, Crockett, was suffering from an ear ache, so with a little research (and help from my fellow-cruncher, Sarah) I recommended him this remedy of garlic infused oil. I hope it works...well really I hope he actually tried it so I can ask him if it worked!
What natural remedies do you swear by?
Leave your comments below and hopefully I can make a nice archive of natural remedies for everyone's reference!

Coca-Cola was shut down by the European General Court in respect of its trade mark application for a (fairly ordinary looking) bottle shape trade mark that it filed all the way back in December 2011.
The EU Trade Mark Office initially rejected the application because it lacked distinctive character in respect of some of the claimed goods associated with the mark (like glass and plastic bottles). Coca-Cola argued that the shape of the bottle was distinctive and had become associated with Coca-Cola. The examiner was not convinced.
Coke appealed the decision, first to a Board of Appeal (where it was unsuccessful), then to the Court. The Court agreed with the Board of Appeal and the EU Trade Marks Office in respect of the lack of distinctive character of the bottle. Unlike Coke's other bottle shape trademarks, this 'contour bottle without fluting' shape didn't have any distinctive qualities that departed 'significantly from the norms and customs of the sector'.
We tend to agree. It's a pretty generic bottle shape – see for yourself.

In addition, the Court found that survey evidence presented by Coke was not sufficient to prove that the trade mark had acquired distinctiveness in the market (though it didn't agree with conclusions made by the Board of Appeal which questioned the reliability and independence of the surveys).
While shape trade marks are all the rage atm (read about Nestlé's failed attempt in England to trade mark the shape of the Kit Kat ) a successful application requires a distinctive or unusual shape that sets it apart from what's already in the market.

So I finally made a blog. My professors are all talking about how important it is to have one. So there you go! I have another personal website that my boyfriend is helping me create, its not done yet it's still in its preliminary stages, but I will use this for now.
My name is Anna Chang, I am a senior at Cal State Fullerton, majoring in animation. This is my last semester finally! Well, after I walk the ceremony in May, I still have to take one more class in the semester so I won't be officially done until July. After that its the real world!
Currently, I am interning at cartoon network on the show Ben 10. Its a great experience to be able to work with real artwork that goes into making a show. I have never realized how many people and work it takes to make one episode. I love the work environment it isn't just a bunch of people minding their own businesses and working in their own cubicle the whole day. Its really kick back, sometimes we play foesball or see how many push ups someone can do.
here are some samples of my artwork that i did recently in my descriptive drawing class of summer 2008

When speaking of the paradigm shift, chief leader, the names that come to mind are, for example, the founder of Apple – Steve Jobs, or Amazon – Jeff Bezos.
However, although these cases are remarkable and today, do not forget illustrious leaders who took their companies critical situations such as Lee Iacocca, Chrysler, or General Electric Jack Welch. Continue reading "How to stop being a boss to be a leader"

This is stunning news as of April 4th.
Because of the increasing debts, the government decided the sequesters and Medicare was included for the targets. As the result, many cancer patients, who are on Medicare, will be turned down because clinics can't afford to pay for expensive chemotherapy for them without the funds from Medicare.
According to the news, the sequester will be implemented on Monday April 8th, and already thousands of patients were told that their treatments would be terminated.
Last year, I was recommended to change my health insurance to Medicare from the district from which I retired. I was told I would be able to save some money by doing so. I had considered it, but did not change it because I was afraid of the cut of Medicare if Mr. Obama was re-elected.
I wonder if Medicare is already cut down by the sequester, how much more will be cut once Obama care is implemented. Maybe Medicare will perish.
T-DM1, the new drug, I am going to use costs almost $10,000 a month. If I were on Medicare, I could be the first patient to be declined. I am so glad not to have changed to Medicare. Yet what should others, who are turned away by clinics, do?
In the U.S., cancer is the 2nd most deadly disease following heart disease. It is said that one of every two men and one out of three women in the U.S. will get cancer. Among them, about 77% are 55 years old or older. There must be lots of patients who are on Medicare, and I can't believe they will be thrown away as if trash. Where will this country go? I am concerned.
