Aligning Optical lens in a NAD C-540 CDP
I've just installed a NEW laser mechanism unit (complete) in my NAD C-540 CDP and I find it still skips on a few discs. Why is this?? Could the focus be off? If so, how do I set it right?
Anyone with a C-540 service manual? Will appreciate very much for all your kind assistance.
Thanks in advance!!

´Hello. You hame a common problem with me and other NAD owners.My C541 exibhits the same issue. First its a fragile pickup and chipset combination from Sanyo. With C541i, NAD evolute to a Sony transport and chipset. They clame evolution to CD-RW compatibility, but Sanyo L9042 is CD-RW ready too! C541 and olders player with Sanyo solution use L9240 which is not CD-RW ready. I advice to boost the +8V power line. It feeds the motor section and +5 Volts digital line. The motor section comprises the pickup coils, pickup motor, disc motor and tray motor! Its a very power hungry line, the JRC 7808 regulator fail to supply a stable 8V output to the motors, specialy in skip operation or more demand error recovery from system.It will afect +5V line with voltage drop and noise, and wihout enough voltage boost, at least +3v from input to output the traditional 7805 wont play at 100%. So I recommend to get low voltage drop and faster 3 Amps diodes for all power supply. get more than the double, triple if possible (10000uF) capacitance at the first electolytic capacytor (NAD use 3300uF), use the original to boost and clean the +8 Volts output before the 7805 regulator. Change the 7808 to a LM350 arrangement with a good heatsink and a regulation of +8,15 V at least. LM350 can manage 3 Amps, and less than 2V drop at 1,5 Amps, so its easy to drive this line, and mantain enough voltage to the 7805 works fine.Get the service manuals at:
Use good cd-r media (Sony CD-R) recorded at 4x.
This update should improve sound and track ability of original and cd-r media!
Best Regards

Thanks for the last post.
But with all these mods, does the NAD CDP work properly or still pose problems in the transport mechanism when either asked to play or >> or << and so on.....
Will appreciate a reply

With my C541 i get more stability in playback to shock and to original cd that have some skiping problem. Still scratch disk, lousy media or hig speed recorded media still have problems!
I'll send to you a document to predorm a mod, but i dont think it get better with this mod, the power supply +8V current boost is more efective in my case!

Some time ago I repaired a Rotel CD player with a similar problem. It had an 8V regulated line that was dropping to 7V or 6V in certain circumstances like outer tracks, scratched discs and sometimes even when first reading the disc. Since the 5V for the chipset were derived from that line and dropping too, the player was hanging and behaving strange and had to be turned off and back on sometimes.
I blamed the power supply at first (naive me), and I built a simple MOSFET low-dropout regulator on vero-board that was able to keep the 8V much more stable but the problem persisted. Current consumption was well over 1A sometimes and now it was the own mains transformer the one not being capable of providing 8V (drop across my ragulator was under 100mV).
I tracked this abnormally high current consumption to the spindle motor. It was definitely faulty, it was drawing a lot of current and exhibiting little torque at times. The poor driver IC was almost cooking too. I replaced this motor and the problem was completely solved. Current consumption was greatly reduced, it never went over 0.5A or so again...
So if your supplies sag, the first thing to check it that your motors are not faulty...
I use to feel like the small child in The Emperor's New Clothes tale

Partially shorted spindle motors are not an uncommon problem, look here, section 13.3 and 13.4:
(I do recommend the repair FAQs, I think I did read all of them some years ago. Lots of interesting and useful stuff!)

PLS, Eva & megajocke :
Thanks for all the posts, again reconfirming that basically the NAD earlier CDPs have their transport sections poorly executed. Unfortunately, their is not much we can do to UNDO poor circuit designs.
Nevertheless, on my NAD C-540, I've replaced the optical mechanism (complete) twice now and this does come with a brand-new spindle motor so I reckon the faulty issue with the motor is here eradicated. But the tracks still skip inspite of the new optics and I wonder whether is it the poor quality optics or lack of drive from the circuits (which is current starved).
And its getting more and more difficult to get hold of the Sanyo SF-P101N 5/8P optical kits as they too are discontinued now.

These voltage drop with the Sanyo pick-up chipset solution is well know to NAD project team. Its represented in the service manual a 7,8V and less figure at power supply pins of the ICs that drive the motors, from 7808 regulator.
Even a +7 volts figure or less is able to drive these chips, see the datasheets of these ics, but i really doubt about the cleaness of the supply energy, which must have impact in the all system. I notice a good diference in sound and stability!

Going by what you recommend for my C-540, I have located the following that needs to be replaced. They are mentioned below:
as per the document NAD engineers published claiming that it improves CD playback from "NO DISC" situation.
5. C529 - presently 3300uF,16V. I can replace this by 10,000uF,16V.
6. DIODES: You said "get faster 3 Amps diodes for all power supply".
Can you please tell me which are these diodes ? The part Nos please, if possible? And with what have you replaced yourself ?
Finally, is my playing CDs likely to improve with all these mods ?
Thanks again!! I appreciate you helping me.

When you ask for service manual, you should be able to understand whats on the schematic diagram. If you are not prepared to understand the basics you should get support from someone that is used to do this mods. To change the diodes you should pay attention to the component dimension and value rate, for instance, maximum current capability, 3 or more (Amperes) and maximum voltage (At least 50V). You shoul shearch a diode reference with high speed and low voltage drop to improve power supply perfomance at all stages!
Best regards

Fitness And Dementia; Smarter PSA Testing For Prostate Cancer: Annals Of Internal Medicine Feb. 5, 2013
1. Being Physically Fit Earlier in Life May Lower Risk for Dementia Later in Life
Having a higher fitness level at midlife seems to be associated with lower hazards of developing Alzheimer disease and other types of dementia later in life. Between 1970 and 2009, researchers at a community health clinic utilized an exercise treadmill test to assess the baseline fitness levels of 19,458 non-elderly, community-dwelling adults who were in generally good health. The researchers reviewed Medicare data for the patients who became eligible to receive benefits between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 2009 to assess the association between objectively measured midlife fitness levels and development of all-cause dementia in advanced age. A diagnosis of all-cause dementia was defined as at least one inpatient, skilled-nursing facility, home health agency, hospital outpatient, or physician or supplier claim with any diagnosis code corresponding with Alzheimer disease, senile dementia, and presenile dementia among persons having at least three years of Medicare coverage. Four codes corresponding with vascular dementia were also included. The researchers documented the presence or absence of dementia in all living patients at ages 70, 75, 80, and 85. They found that patients who were physically fit earlier in life were much less likely to develop dementia than those who were less fit. The author of an accompanying editorial notes that despite ample evidence that physical activity is associated with many health benefits, it can be difficult to get patients to adhere to an exercise program. The author writes that the association with reduced risk for Alzheimer's – one of the most feared diseases among U.S. adults – may entice patients to increase physical activity.
2. 'Smarter' PSA Testing May Reduce Harms of Testing While Preserving Life-saving Benefits
Using a selective screening strategy for prostate cancer may reduce the harms associated with testing while preserving the number of lives saved. Measuring blood levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) can help doctors determine which patients may be at risk for prostate cancer. Patients with an elevated PSA level may require a biopsy to determine if cancer is present. However, biopsies are associated with many troublesome side effects and still cannot tell a doctor with certainty which cases of prostate cancer are life-threatening and require treatment. Current prostate cancer screening guidelines have been the source of controversy. While only one guideline recommends against screening altogether, others are less clear, recommending informed decision-making on an individual level. This can be difficult because there is sparse data available to help doctors have nuanced conversations with their patients about whether and how often to have prostate cancer screening. Researchers used a computer model to compare 35 screening strategies that varied in terms of age of first and last screening, screening intervals, and PSA thresholds for biopsy referral. The researchers looked at false-positive results, cancer detected, overdiagnoses (cancers detected that would otherwise never become clinically significant), deaths from prostate cancer, lives saved, and months of life saved. They found that compared with a standard screening strategy, using higher thresholds for biopsy referral for older men and screening men with initially low PSA levels less frequently may be a way to improve the tradeoff between screening and overdiagnosis. The author of an accompanying editorial does not believe this study will do much to quiet the debate on whether to screen for prostate cancer. The author notes the many limitations of the model which does not consider important factors such as race and family history, patient preferences, or potential complication of incontinence or impotence. As the debate rages on, the author suggests that physicians engage in shared decision-making with patients with regard to prostate cancer screening.

Pros: A more realistic view of the old west, chilling scenes, failures.
Cons: A little slow at times, but life wasn't exactly grand central station then!
1976 saw the promise of a blockbuster western revival,with a pairing up of two academy award winners, Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson, in the release of "The Missouri Breaks", an Arthur Penn film production. Unfortunately, it didn't stand up to critical or popular review, but I believe the film does have some merit indeed. Not, by far, the best western you will see, it is probably one of the more realistic westerns you will see, with a very good story line, an unlikely hero, a scary villain, and a bit of a love story thrown in for good measure. The reality of it comes in with the many failures, the harshness of pioneer life, and the harshness of pioneer justice, exemplified by the hangings and the use of the "regulator". What follows is a table of information about the movie, cast, and production, and a synopsis/review.
Information about "The Missouri Breaks".

James Greene--Hellsgate Rancher
Laura Anders--Ranchers Wife
This movie is set in the hills of Montana, in the 1880s. The movie begins with a hanging. Mr. Braxton, a sophisticated landowner and rancher, dressed in a suit, "looking like God", escorts the accused rustler to the hanging, and quite a crowd of spectators and locals showed up for the show. Mr. Braxton is very concerned with his "7% losses" per annum to rustlers, and is determined to fight back against the horse thieves, even if it means hangings without a trial.
We then move on to the next scene where Tom Logan, played by Jack Nicholson, returns to the cabin where his "gang" of outlaws is "holed up". He discovers that Sandy is missing, and has been caught and hanged(or hung, as it were). One member of the gang says that they should rob a train or a bank, rather than continue to rustle horses. Logan points out that they need to have a "relay ranch", where they can take the stolen horses, modify the brands, and then "relay" them from there for sale. They agree to put this ranch in Braxton's back yard! In the meantime, Logan wants to take a few of the boys out to rob a train.
The "great train robbery" this isn't! They manage to uncouple the mail car, and open the safe and get the money out. Nelson, the mail carrier who is in charge of guarding the money, is rather a comical figure himself. Nicholson tells Nelson that he is "Jesse James". Things begin to go wrong right away. When Logan goes to exit the boxcar, he almost falls down a railroad trestle! The money goes everywhere(it is all one dollar bills and tens), and they have to scramble to collect it up, even as the main train comes back for the missing mail car. The boys make good their escape.
An imposter, a "greenhorn" calling himself the "Lonesome Kid", takes credit for the train robbery, and is sentenced to two weeks in jail, and everyone has a good laugh. The movie continues on to the scene where John Logan meets Braxton, and inquires as to purchasing a ranch next to him, "for luck". Braxton sells him a piece of land, and the boys move in. On their way back, Braxton discovers that his "ramrod" has been hanged in retaliation to his hanging of the rustler.
Nicholson ends up having to stay at the ranch while the rest of the boys undertake a bold adventure: to steal horses from the Canadian Mounted Police on Sunday, when they are all in church singing their hymns. They succeed in rounding up the whole herd, only to have them taken back after they recross the Missouri Breaks in Montana. The group gets dispersed, and they end up back at the relay ranch.
In the mean time, Braxton has decided to hire a "regulator", named Robert E. Lee Clayton, played by Marlon Brando. He rides in during the funeral for the ramrod, unseen, as he is hiding behind his horse. A strange man, this Clayton is, he is extremely eccentric and a bit mad. Clayton comes in to the funeral, and chastises the whole crowd for allowing the ramrod to be killed, and in a strange gesture to emphasize the point, he lifts the corpse out of the coffin, and then lets him drop back on the ice, his head breaking a bottle of champagne! After this weird expose', Clayton announces that the only thing not on his diet is the green top of the carrot, and okra, and that he must be excused because he is under a "severe attack from a tooth". The group then makes fun of Clayton, with his white fringe leather jacket, his "lavender" and perfumed locks of hair, and his "creedmore rifle", and dismiss him as a "drygulcher".
Similarly in the meantime, Nicholson has a bit of a fling with Braxton's daughter, but it is a bit rough at first. He also meets Clayton for the first time.
As the movie progresses, Lee Clayton manages to kill, one by one, the rustler gang, in a series of evil, chilling, and wicked murders related to his profession. Jack Nicholson falls in love with Braxton's daughter as well. He has a chance to kill Clayton, but loses his nerve. This is a big mistake, as Clayton finally kills off his best friend, Cal. Finally, Nicholson goes on the offensive, and finally sneaks up on Clayton, and slits his throat("you have just been awaken by the sound of your own throat being cut"). The movies ends with Braxton, who has had a stroke, shooting Nicholson, because of his affair with his daughter. Nicholson manages to fatally shoot Braxton, and the movie ends with Nicholson going his own way, and Braxton's daughter going her own way, with the possibility they will hook up in the future.
I like this movie for several reasons. This movie doesn't show the utterly fantastic and unrealistic things that are usually shown in a "typical" western. The heroes and villains are not "typical" as well, and the story line and plot are atypical as well. The dialogue is also rather unusual, as is the action plot scenes.
Firstly, the things portrayed are so much more real, and believable than in a "typical" western. For instance, the train robbery doesn't go off without a hitch. It is almost a complete failure, and they manage to escape just barely with a few dollars, not a big heist by any measure. The rustling of the horses of the Canadian mounties isn't a success either. Also, the entire gang, all but one, is killed one by one, by Lee Clayton!
Secondly, the hero and villain are totally unlikely, particulary the villain. Jack Nicholson is a laid back kind of guy, and his best friend, Cal, played by Harry Dean Stanton, are the "good guys", so to speak, and are rustlers. Had this been a John Wayne movie, John Wayne would be Braxton, who gets revenge on the "bad guys", or the rustlers. Lee Clayton and Braxton are the bad guys here, justly protecting their property. So, this movie turns the traditional roles of good and bad on their head, and I like that very much. Lee Clayton is a scary eccentric indeed. Not only does he use lots of perfume, and keep primmed up on the frontier, he also is an avid birdwatcher, and in addition, he loves his horses, I mean he "loves" his horses!
And, he is very effecient at what he does, that is, killing or "regulating", whom he is hired to "regulate". Harry Dean Stanton and Jack Nicholson are very likeable characters, and I think I like Harry Dean Stanton's performance as much as Jack Nicholsons character.
Thirdly, the dialogue is really cool in this film. For example, Nicholson has an exchange with Braxton's daughter about sex. "You came following me up here, what do you have in mind, sexual intercourse?....Do you want me?....Who told you to do all this? Well, if you are going to cry, I'm just going to go on home and shovel steer manure onto pansies!" Another exchange between Cal and Logan about his background: "I had this dog for amusement, and one day, the dog was killed by my boss for putting his tongue on a pad of butter, so I killed his seed bull, rustled his herd, and came within an inch of sending his sorry hide to kingdom come, I mean, I came this close to shooting that sorry bastard in the brain pan!". "So watch out Tom, or that dog is going to put his tongue on the butter...". Another exchange is between one of the rustlers and a farmer to whom he is selling his horses: "I will quote Thomas Jefferson here, My father was a farmer, so I could be a politician, so my son could be a poet.....Who was Thomas Jefferson? Oh, some guy back east." Not high dialogue, to be sure, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Lastly, the action scenes that back up the plot are really good. For instance, the murder scenes whereby Lee Clayton stalks and singles out and murders the gang one by one are chilling. "Little Tod", played by Randy Quaid, is killed by Clayton after he chases him, befriends him, eats supper with him, and shares a camp with him. Then they go to cross the Missouri River, and Clayton pulls him off his horse, and drowns him! Another guy is killed by Clayton as he is in the outhouse. Still another is killed as he is about to have a "quickie" with a farmers wife. Lastly, the most chilling murder is Cal. He is in the cabin, sleeping, and Clayton, dressed as a woman, sends a Molotov cocktail down a wire towards the cabin, and blasts it, engulfing the cabin in flames. Cal comes out, badly burned, and Clayton kills him with a wicked looking knife-edged weapon, thrown right in between his eyes!
All in all, I liked this movie so much I purchased a copy! I think if you like either a) westerns, b) Jack Nicholson or Marlon Brando, or c), and unusual movie, you will like this film. It is just such a weird movie, and it shouldn't be missed!

GOP still recovering from Prop. 187 fallout
Christopher Cadelago of The Sacramento Bee's Capitol Bureau files this report:
Nearly two decades after its controversial passage, Gov. Pete Wilson's Proposition 187 continues to haunt the Republican Party in California and across the U.S.
A new report from Latino Decisions, a firm that analyzes demographics and voting trends, argues California could have remained a presidential battleground state — with Democrats and Republicans vying for more congressional and legislative seats here — were it not for Proposition 187 and later measures that mobilized Latino voters.
Proposition 187, most of which has been invalidated, would have denied various public services to undocumented immigrants. Latino partisanship has grown to more than 70% Democratic since the group first comprised more than 10% of the state electorate in 1996.
The massive shifts could have broad impacts on the nation, with Latinos nationally poised to swing 24 GOP-held congressional seats in 2014 and 2016 in states such as Nevada, Florida, Colorado and North Carolina, said Gary M. Segura, a politics professor at Stanford University who worked on the study.

NORTH POLE (AP) A North Pole man died Saturday night after the boat he was riding in collided with another on the Chena River.
Jack G. Sims Jr., 19, of North Pole, was riding in an 18-foot aluminum boat operated by Gabriel Acker Jr., 33, also of North Pole, Alaska State Troopers said.
The two were traveling down river when another boat, operated by Anthony H. Fazio, 49, of North Pole, was going upriver.
The boats rounded a relatively sharp bend in the river, troopers said, and both drivers took evasive action in the same direction.
Sims was taken to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Acker was taken by a family member to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital with injuries.
Troopers are investigating. They said alcohol did not appear to be a factor in the accident.

The last time I saw some thread like this it was decided it was car's on the other side of a lake moving around.
I'd go the same for this one as every so often just above the lights and either side you see a little flash of light which for me looks like a cell phone being held up to the ear.

As far as the current one you brought... yah they are UFO's:
(U)nidentified (F)loating (O)bjects. Sometimes referred to as boats...fishing boats... night fishing...with lights.
But hey its all good. Now go get another. And you can do better than this right?

Ya I'm not convinced they're boats either (shrimp boats anyways). I live in sw fl, and see a lot of strange stuff. I've seen shrimp boats (father-in-law owns one) and the movement of these vessels do not coincide with how shrimp boats operate. SB's drag a net. Staying in one spot does them no good, neither does going in circles. They also go out in two's and share a net, which means they stay parallel etc.. IMHO not trawlers.

Sells bogus UFO photos and videos, has faked many UFO photos and videos using jet and helicopter models as well as Star Wars toys. Sells anything and everything he can on his website from phony UFOs to boxing and mail order brides. You can also see UFO videos...for $29.95 a pop. One look at Hawkins' website and you'll know just exactly how credible this bunk UFO phtographer really is. SEE: Mike Hawkins exposed
The first time I heard the name Mike Hawkins was when I was on UFOAZ talks with Ted Loman, Peggy Kane, and Jim Nichols. Ted was showing a montage of UFO material sent to him and during one of the segments
some pictures and videos from Mike Hawkins were among them.
As the segment with Mike Hawkins material was about to be aired Ted Loman says "The next part of the video footage that we have came to us thru a gentleman that was here on the show about a year ago. Mr Ferris. He had done some work along with Jose Escamilia and the taping out there at Roswell. The rods and different things. So he gave me part of this videotape. I don't know about what you're going to see is actual or its been hoaxed! We've haven't had a chance to check it out. I'm going give some of this footage so you can put it
into the computer and find out whether or not if its transposed."
A quick montage of video and still images played while we talked over the footage. A majority of the stuff was simply hard to believe.

If the lights were to suddenly jump up way into the sky, or any other very erratic movement, then I would agree it was something unusual. But with the movement they have, and their placements on the horizon: Boats.

Actually I was stating that objects in the video were NOT shrimp boats (IMHO), as others jumped out and said. I provided the link so members could see that the lights in the video do not behave like trawlers. You're right though. Members should post with respect. I'm on the fence with this one. Thanks for the thread, and I look forward to future ones.

You may be right.
I personally don't get persuaded by popular vote.
I also know (not saying that this is the case here but) there are HUGE dis-information committees whose sole purpose is to discredit the messenger especially when it comes to UFOlogy!
And while we rely solely on public opinion usually through media venues, sometimes the wrong message gets the majority acceptance.
I am saying this based on personal experience with people I know in this field and I know some fairly high profile people.
I've been interested in this realm for over two decades now and although I admit it's getting easier to get fooled (of course we didn't have CGI-hoaxes on YouTube in the 90's) I also KNOW...to keep an open mind.
But apparently people WANT me to take a position. Usually on their side and if I sway over to the other side, I get cyberly pummeled. So being neutral isn't even accepted anymore. What does that tell us?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York judge has dismissed claims against DirecTV Latin America for ending the distribution of programming by broadcaster RCTV under pressure from the Venezuelan government.
"The court cannot force DTV to act as RCTV's champion in its feud with the government of Venezuela," Justice Shirley Kornreich wrote in her decision, filed on Wednesday in New York state Supreme Court in Manhattan.
The case stems from a move by Venezuela revoking RCTV's license in May 2007, saying the channel was opposed to President Hugo Chavez. The action against RCTV, Venezuela's oldest broadcaster, was condemned internationally.
RCTV then entered into a five-year agreement with DirecTV Latin America in July 2007 to distribute its signal to subscribers in Venezuela.
According to court papers, CONATEL, a Venezuelan regulatory agency, published new broadcasting regulations in December 2009 and on January 20, 2010, the agency told RCTV it would be classified as a national channel under the regulations and be required to carry certain broadcasts.
On January 22, 2010, DirecTV told RCTV that CONATEL informed them the broadcaster had failed to carry a mandatory government message, court papers say.
On January 24, 2010, DirecTV removed RCTV's signal from its subscription package in Latin America, according to the papers.
RCTV claims DirecTV acted without a Venezuela government order to take them off the air. However, even if that were the case, the judge cited an agreement showing DirecTV was allowed to suspend distribution if it "could be politically inadvisable or could be found ... to violate the law."
The ruling granted DirecTV's motion to dismiss RCTV's counterclaims in a case DirecTV brought seeking a declaration that its actions in terminating its agreement with RCTV were justified. The case continues.
Representatives of RCTV and DirecTV did not immediately return calls for comment.
DirecTV Latin America is a subsidiary of DirecTV, a provider of digital television service.
The case is DirecTV Latin America, LLC v RCTV International Corp., 651824/2011, New York state Supreme Court, New York County.

I was confused too as to how the origional thread was technical grappling, but maybe big O was just feeling a little more generous than putting it in the mythical BB club, but didn't want us mere mortals clogging it up with attempted comedy.
Anyway, now we're in YMAS here's my 2 cent in giant wall of text form.
(Ive been in all three roles: leader of training when it happened, the know-it-all, and the confused student.)
Me as a Mr. Know It All:
Example 1:
A few months ago I was doing some work in a hall where there was a karate club doing some wrist locks off a cross wrist grab (what aikido would call kosadori nikyo). They were all lined up and I could see the instructor was at the far end of the line giving some help. The pair at my end were a smallish, mid-ranked woman and a large male beginner. They were both having some trouble. She was perplexed by the mans straight arm in the grab (making kote mawashi / nikyo too ineffective to be felt when applied by a beginner, and inviting wakai gatamae / rokyo). He didnt know the motion. I stepped over and asked them if theyd like to do it to me, and let me show them what it felt like. I told the guy to let his elbow bend.
The instructor had a bit of a puzzled look when he say a guy in street clothes giving his students a hand. I felt embaressed about it almost immediately. Later I talked to him saying that those wrist locks are what we train in all the time, and if theyd us to share any information about them Id be happy to help. I obviously heard nothing back from them.
Example 2:
Background: The JJJ guys I play with occasionally are mostly open to change. They have so little newaza that I feel my smattering of experience is the highest in that club. At the instructors request Ive helped him with their version of the bridge and roll more than once. Hes done a very little bjj and is currently training in SL4 kenpo outside of JJJ.
We were practising the bridge and roll when he stopped the class to give a pointer about some SL4 style spookyness in the technique, which he proceeded to do without any bridge. I asked him to do it to me since I see, I am deceived; I feel , I believe. Queue the spookyness doing nothing to me. I give him the same feed and ask him to do it with a bridge and the sweep works. I apologised afterwards, but I still thought it was a dick move on my part.
Being talked to by a Know-it-all:
This has happened to me a few times. Theres one JJJ guy in particular that will start to talk when hes feeling tired. Depending on how much the change is from what were meant to be doing, how much their talking instead of training, and the atmosphere of the dojo Ill use one of a few approaches:
Ask the instructor to come over and clarify what were meant to be doing
Say thats interesting, but I dont think its what were doing now.
Say lets just try it and see what happens.
Say thats interesting, we can talk about that in the pub after training.
Leading training and having people do something other than what Im showing:
Ive had the equivalent of both know-it-all white belts and a know-it-all blue belts on the mat.
Ill do the drill with each of them and say thats what were doing today.
Once I split up a pair and alternated between them, having one air train while I trained with the other, just to stop them giving each other the wrong information.

Lard. It's a four letter word. And one that causes people to make faces and turn away. That's unfortunate.
I was sitting with Suzen at a restaurant looking at our new copy of Lard from the Editors of Grit Magazine. "Where can we get lard? Good lard?" I asked.
"Google it," Suzen suggested.
Well, I got a list of places including, as number three, a list of the top toxic waste sites in the United States.
Poor lard. Lard use as a food product began in the 1400s. Soon it became an industry, with pigs being bred and slaughtered for their lard first and then the meat. In the last century, we've been taught that fat is bad — every ounce of that consumed fat is going to appear the next day on our tummies or legs. And of course we have avoided saturated fats and use unsaturated as much as possible.
Thing is, fat is essential to generating flavor and convincing your brain that you don't have to feel hungry any more. Well-made lard has more unsaturated than saturated fats, in fact a better split than butter. Ah, that "well-made" lard condition is the trick. Most supermarket lard comes from those "new" lean pigs that have lots of meat and much less fat. The lard from those pigs has undergone so much processing that it is much less healthy than real lard. So, if you want to use lard, track down a source, perhaps a local organic butcher, who can supply you with the real deal.
Lard is filled with recipes for not just what you'd expect — biscuits and pie crusts — but ideas for baked sweet potato fries, fried chicken and dumplings, and foil-baked fish. There are ideas here from appetizers to that ultimate dessert: pie.
Ah, but there is also this cake recipe for Poppy Seed Cake. Now the recipe calls for making this a layer cake with a filling between the layers and frosting about the entire cake. Suzen is a poppy seed purist. So in the interest of a happy marriage, there was no filling and the frosting was served on the side. I was happy.
Now, if you make a cake with lard and not butter, what is the difference? To the palette, it's less buttery. In baking, butter provides flavor, of course, but its primary role is a physical one: it is a binding agent that works to hold the ingredients together. Lard fulfills the same role. And with lard in this cake, then the poppy seed flavor is not overpowered, while the distinct tones from our farm-fresh eggs can stand out.
In Western culture, our recipe history is hundreds of years old and for much of that time, lard was a key element. It was not a four-letter word.
This lovely cake will prove that point.
Poppy Seed Cake
Yield: serves 10 t0 12
For the Cake:
- ½ cup poppy seeds
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup lard, softened, plus more for greasing the pans
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups sifted all-purpose unbleached flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 cup milk
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
For the Frosting:
- 2 egg whites
- 3/4 cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
- Pinch of salt
Place the poppy seeds in a small bowl; add the milk and soak for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease the bottoms of two 8-inch round cake pans with lard. Cut wax paper to fit the pan bottoms; place in the pans and grease the wax paper with lard. Set aside.
To make the cake, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer on low speed, cream together the sugar and lard. Add the egg, egg whites, the poppy seed mixture, vanilla, flour, baking powder, and salt; beat until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 40 minutes, until the cake springs back after being gently pressed with a finger, check frequently near the end of the baking time for doneness. Cool completely on a wired rack.
To make the filling, in a saucepan over low heat, combine the egg yolk, milk, sugar, and cornstarch; cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the vanilla and pecans. Let cool.
To make the frosting, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and a pinch of salt. Using a candy thermometer, cook until it reaches the thread stage (230° to 235°F). Pour over the beaten egg whites; beat until the mixture stands in peaks.
To finish the cake, place one cake layer on a cake stand. Spread the filling mixture on top. Place the second layer on top of the first and frost the entire cake, using an offset spatula

Oh my God Disney what have you done ?? This was very bad, very very bad. I am sooo disappointed. None of it made sense, acting was poor, scenes were slow and ponderous.The whole Casino thing was useless. This was NOT a fitting tribute to the Princess, this was NOT a fitting end to Luke although his one scene at the end was priceless. Most of the scenes were stolen from previous chapters and made worse. This is not in any way a decent kickoff to the new generation and the 2nd or 3rd coming of the Rebellion.
Hopefully they'll allow this thing to die out itself so we can get some quality sci-fi, like anything from James Cameron.
Trash with fine special effects that are not enough to save it.
A multitude of poor characters.
Sometimes it only takes one thing to kill a movie. In this case it was a terrible idea.
Quite a letdown from a story viewpoint.
Average movie but not to one star.
The Finn/Rose plotline was the only weak part of the movie for me; too forced (although it did produce one tense interesting scene). Overall the story was bold and believable, the action thrilling, the acting mostly strong and the feel very "Star Warsy". People are disappointed their plot expectations weren't fulfilled but this story could have gone many different ways. This was one of them; it is time to move ahead.
I see a lot of mixed reactions to this coming out of the theater. Neutral or bad for the adults and positive for the children.
If this was released at any other time of the year it would have failed.

JUNEAU (AP) The House voted unanimously Friday to approve a bill increasing unemployment compensation to Alaska workers.
HB305 provides for an 8.2 percent increase in the maximum weekly unemployment benefit amount to be phased in over a three-year period.
Alaska currently ranks 47th in the nation with a maximum weekly benefit of $248. The bill sponsored by Rep. Tom Anderson, R-Anchorage, would increase the weekly benefit to $308, making Alaska 28th in the nation. Employer tax rates would not be affected until 2010.
Rep. Harry Crawford, D-Anchorage, spoke in favor of the bill. He said Alaska has been losing experienced workers to other states and this law will help to keep them here.
Rep. Bill Williams, R-Saxman, said the bill will help Alaska's seasonal workers.
The bill still must pass in the Senate.

Chastity by Nick Whitmore
This unassuming piece is simplicity itself consisting of a rudimentary vessel sporting an intriguing design.
This design is inspired by the post impressionist movement with accompanied influences of art nouveau.
The strong right angles and warm hues are evocative of the architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh – one of my most admired designers.
This practical piece can be utilised as a storage facility, a posy vase or a unique focal point displayed as it is.

Get em? Get shut out? Lets hear some tales...
Get em? Get shut out? Lets hear some tales...
My bother and I went with a friend and got standing room only, barely. It got a little cold but it wasn't too bad.
A bunch. We were literally the last people to get tickets. I actually felt bad for the guy directly behind us. We got there about 1:45ish he got there about 45 minutes later so probably around 2:30 everyone else started really pouring in around 4am.
Also curious how many people bought em...then turned right around to try and scalp em.
It was hard to do a count anyway until around 8...Too many tents. I did a count of tents when we got there and then hoped they averaged around 4 people per tent, and came out pretty close....There wasn't many people that bought less than four. What the people towards the end were thinking though I have no idea. If you got there after 5:30 or so it was really obvious you weren't making it.
i was thinking of getting there at 4 am - glad I didn't do it.
Bring on 2018! #%?*!

Red Sox Fans Wonder: Will We Ever See .500 Again?
(AP Photo)
Your 2016
Carmine Hose
has scored 40 runs in its first seven games. Unfortunately, your 2016
Carmine Hose
starting rotation
has an ERA well over 7.00. That's a prescription for an under .500 ballclub—which is exactly what the 3-4 Red Sox are after
a 9-5 loss
to the juggernaut Orioles.
Clay Buchholz
was again putrid—wiping out leads with alarming precision. He went five innings 'plus' and gave up five earned runs. A dropped foul pop-up by
Blake Swihart
before a tying 2-run HR didn't help matters.
David Ortiz
clout his 506th career HR, but this game was another stinker from the sixth inning on. Once again, the bullpen did its best imitation of the rotation—digging ever deeper holes for the offense. With this crappy pitching, this club is going nowhere.

Patty Sinclair talks about her cousin, Myrna Letandre, whose remains were found inside a Winnipeg rooming house last week.
In a one-on-one interview with CBC's Katie Nicholson, Sinclair also talks about her frustrations with police and how her cousin's murder has affected the family.
She also talks about praying for her cousin while she was missing.
"I would ask the Lord if she's alive then make a way for her to come home [and] if she is gone then let us gather her bones and put her in the ground," Sinclair said.
"I always hoped that the latter would never come but … that's the way it is."
Family members had asked police to check out the rooming house, in the city's Point Douglas neighbourhood, some years ago but nothing happened.
When Letandre went missing in Oct. 2006, her sister confronted a man named Traigo Andretti, who was living in the house at the time.
Andretti, 37, was arrested last week and charged Monday with first-degree murder in connection with the death of his wife, 41-year-old Jennifer McPherson, in British Columbia.

Prayer and Fasting
Fasting is the discipline of going without food for a certain period of time in order to increase your appetite for the things of God. It is an expected discipline mentioned in both the Old and New testaments. Fasting is to be your choice to deny yourself something such as food in order to focus more time and energy on your relationship with God. Sometimes it may be unavoidable to let someone know you are fasting. Don't worry about those times when you can't keep it secret. The idea is fasting is not something you do to let people know how spiritual you are.
Jesus said, "And when you fast, don't make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you". Matt 6:16-18.
Your motive for fasting is primarily spiritual but it has many physical benefits as well. Fasting has been proven scientifically to be good for our bodies. During a fast from food your body will receive internal rest which the gastrointestinal tract rarely gets to have. You will not only lose weight but you will eliminate toxins.
If you have never fasted before this may be difficult for you depending on how you have treated your body. The body is a wonderful gift from God and it works amazingly well in spite of our lack of proper diet and exercise. Many people experience headaches and fatigue and some weakness during the first three days. This is normal and is a good indicator that you need to fast because your body is releasing toxins you have ingested over years. Fasting is like spring cleaning for the body. It is very important to drink plenty of water or juices during this time.
During a fast you are devoting more time to be alone with God. This should include fasting from television and your normal forms of entertainment. Make this a time you read more of the Bible and talk to God in prayer. It would be good to keep a daily journal to write down your thoughts and ideas as you go through this fast.
Determine ahead of time how long your fast will be and what it will include. You should decide before you fast about such things that you will be avoiding such as television. Will this will be a water only fast or a water and juice fast, or like some who do a Daniel fast (which is water, fruits and vegetables only and no breads or sweets).
Before you begin your fast pray and ask God's help. He will graciously supply you with the supernatural help you will need to fast properly so that it will benefit your spiritual life. A hunger pain or an urge to follow your normal feeding pattern is a signal to pray and God will show you He is there and ready to help you succeed in your fast.
There are many great books and resources available that can be used to supplement your Bible reading time and keep you inspired to make it through your fast. Some of them are:
-Fasting by Jentzen Franklin
Also check out his website for some tips on fasting at www.jentezenfranklin.org.
Another good resource on the web is campus crusade for Christ at
Read what the Bible has to say about fasting and ask God to teach you. There is great reward is fasting properly unto the Lord. It's not about the food but about you being changed from the inside out. During a fast don't be surprised if bad attitudes and irritability surface. Our flesh is use to getting pampered and now it is getting exposed and God will show you how to deal with it.
Isaiah 58 is a warning to all of us that it is possible to fast religiously and it not be the kind of fast God desires. Through proper fasting you are dethroning king appetite and enthroning King Jesus. You should expect some battles.
Everyone at GT should join in the 7 day church wide fast in some capacity. Some will be fasting even longer. I would encourage you to continue a type of regular fasting in your life such as fast
every Wednesday. Not only will it help you stay centered on growing spiritually, but it will also be healthy for you physically as well.
Obesity is a serious problem in America because of a spirit of gluttony running rampant even among the church. The American church is digging its own premature grave one spoonful at a time. How many sermons have you heard on the subject of fasting? My point is this Biblical discipline has been neglected in the church and now we are paying a high price for it literally.
It's a New Year and time for God to be allowed to do a new thing with you. Come on and join us on this great spiritual journey.
Pastor Gary

It's Christmas break now and I'm going crazyVisitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Female
Okay heres the story. I've known this guy for about 5 months. We became good friends in the last month or so. We go to school together and have many classes together. He makes me laugh all the time. Everytime I talk to him he has a grin on his face. When ever we see eachother in the halls we say hi to eachother at the same time. In one of our classes we have together he sits in the front of the class and I sit in the back. Whenever the teacher leaves, he always turns back and calls my name and starts teasing me and I start laughing like a dork and tease him back.
Its Christmas break now and I'm going crazy. I already have a nickname for him and constantly space out into dream world and think about what it would be like if we were together.
The problem is I don't know if its a good idea to ask him out or wait for him to ask me. I think he has an idea that I like him but I'm not sure if he thinks of me the same way.
RomanceClass.com Advice
Whenever the prospect of love appears go for it.
Ask him out and he will probably say yes.
If you wait, someone else may get him.
Better to ask than to never know.
Good luck! George

One of my long time customers asked me late last year to replace their kitchen which was over 20 years old. This all came about after fully refitting out the lower level of their house after all the Brisbane floods in January 2011.
We designed the kitchen to have no handles and be touch to open on all doors and drawers. Due to them not wanting to go down the path of cost on Servo Drive, we went with the Grass Tipmatic Nova Pro drawer system and Blum's Tip on door openers.
We used Flexipanel Designer White Sheen melamine with 1mm pvc edges on the doors, drawers and panels. 40mm Caesar stone tops, a twin tidy bin under the sink cabinet and led strip lighting under the overheads.

Bioinformatics tools
NARWHAL relies on a number of previously published Bioinformatics tools. These are all open-source and freely available. We have not tested Narwhal with all version of these tools, but we expect no problems with newer versions of these tools. However, to ensure proper operation of Narwhal explicitely compatible versions of these tools are listed below. Through the version control mechanisms present in the hosting websites, these versions should be still available available.
Tool Version Link Pubmed Bowtie 0.12.5 link 19261174 BWA 0.5.9 link 19451168 SAMtools 0.1.18 link 19505943 BAMtools (optional) 0.9 link 21493652 Instructions
NARWHAL can be easily installed on most UNIX(r) based operating systems. First download the tar-bundled NARWHAL installation from this link and unpack this in your directory of choice:
> cd $NARWHAL_dir > wget http://biomics.erasmusmc.nl/NARWHAL/NARWHAL.tar.gz > gunzip NARWHAL.tar.gz > tar -xf Narhwal.tar
This procedure should create several files and directories in the directory similar to the following:
> ls bin conf lib src tools
The tools used by NARWHAL should be present in the users PATH. As it may be undesirable to make the NARWHAL tools available to all users all the time, NARWHAL will add the tools directory to the PATH before running the tools. By placing symbolic links to tools in the tool directory that will be called by the NARWHAL.
> cd tools > ln -S $path_to_bowtie bowtie > ln -S $path_to_bwa bwa > ln -S $path_to_samtools samtools > ln -S $path_to_nice nice
In the tools directory precompiled versions of the data-processing tools are present. These need to be recompiled if your system is not 64-bit i386 compatible The sources of these tools can be found in ${NARWHAL_dir}/src/cpp directory. To recompile a tool type "make clean; make" in the tool root directory. After compilation, the new executable needs to be copied from the tool bin directory to ${NARWHAL_dir}/tools.
This procedure is outlined for the bamstats tool. For some tools the Bamtools libraries should be installed.
> cd ${NARWHAL_dir}/src/cpp/bamstats > make clean > make # lots of make output > cp bin/bamstats ${NARWHAL_dir}/tools/
During a NARWHAL run, the PYTHONPATH and NARWHAL_TOOLS environmental variables need to be set correctly. In normal use, these variables are set by the run_tools.sh script based on the NARWHAL installation directory.
> export NARWHAL_TOOLS="${narwhal_dir}/tools" > export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:"${narwhal_dir}/tools/lib/python/"
NARWHAL should now be installed. To analyze data with NARWHAL, see the Quickstart guide

Passive Agressive Way To Taunt A BrideBy Thomas J. Kelly
I found the most passive aggressive way to annoy a bride. Hold off RSVPing for as long as possible. It's so simple. Anyone can do it. All you have to do is NOT do something.
Not RSVPing is brilliant because it keeps the bride's family from knowing the final guest count. Not knowing the final guest count keeps the bride from doing a lot of things like ordering favors, paying the caterer, and planning the all important seating chart.
I don't think I have ever RSVPed for a wedding. Not RSVPing used to be my way of forcing friends who disappeared off the face of the Earth after they got engaged to call me. Oh? Joe hasn't had the time to call anyone back since his three engagement parties? Not RSVPing will force Joe or his fiance to call you.
Now you have to be careful of how much after the RSVP due date you RSVP. Because so much depends on the number of guests at the wedding, couples take this VERY seriously. My friend Bruce lists "Not RSVPing to his Fourth of July Wedding" as one of the reasons he's mad at me.
My other friend "Barney" and his wife refused to call people who weren't RSVPing. Instead "Mrs. Barney" sent RSVP "overdue notices" and "final warning" letters. After the "final warning" letter she just assumed the invitees weren't coming. I don't know if any invitees who missed the "final warning" showed up to their wedding anyway.
One other fun way to have RSVP fun is by playing with whether or not you're bringing a date. First RSVP without a date. Then with one. Wait a week. Then RSVP without one. The trick is to end on a RSVP where you're going to the wedding solo so you don't have to give a gift that pays for two plates.

Recently there have been a LOT of issues logging in to Minecraft which ofc means we can't play on our multiplayer servers. Login servers seem to be unresponsive for at least a few hours every 3 or 4 days, and it always seems to be when I want to play! I have very little interest in offline play.
Having been a player since the infdev builds were floating around on torrent sites then purchasing the full game during the early beta phases, I can honestly say that I have probably had more failed logins due to server outages in the past month than I have since my first day playing.
Does anyone have any idea what has been going on? Am I missing something important? Have they started regular maintenance right when I get home from work? Is something malicious happening? Are they upgrading capacity?? There doesn't seem to be a lot of feedback from the Minecraft dev team if any when there are outages, pretty much "TWEET: login servers are down", wait a while, then "TWEET: oh, servers are back up again" with no ETA's or clues as to the scale of issues so I can at least clear off and do something else with a rough idea when I should try again.
I'm not bothered about the downtime at all, that's not the point of this thread, I've got plenty to keep me occupied and as a web developer I understand that sometimes these things happen... but it seems to be more and more frequent lately, so some form of explanation from either Mojang or even just the the community would be refreshing.
Is anyone else effected by this lately and if so, do you have any idea what's going on?
