does plate current/voltage effect tube sound????
hi all,
how does plate current/voltage effect a tube, if at all???
i'm not talking about transconductance/plate resistance etc... but how does it effect what we actually hear???
does higher/lower voltage/current effect things like, frequency reponse, shape of/transition into clipping, noise, etc...
how does current and voltage effect these types of things, and any factors anyone might want to comment on??? firstly, how does current effect it, independant of voltage, and then how does voltage effect it, independant of current... and then, do the two interact with each other in any way?
and also, has anyone tried running a tube at below what is considered a normal voltage for that tube? for example, running a 12AX7 with a plate voltage of 60V??? what might happen here?
for this discussion if anyone replies, i am mostly interested in the effects in triodes for now.
oh, and the other thing i was interested in was is how would a tube work if conecting the plate load resistor to earth, and biasing the cahode with a big negative voltage??? are there any advantages/disadvantages to be had?
has some info on this subject.
where is it on this his site??? i have looked at this site before, and i can remember reading about running starved filaments in DHT's, but that was all i can remember that dealt with sound v's voltage, and this is not plate voltage anyway... could you point me to the right section?
What Woody meant, I think, was this page on Steve Bench's site:
This is where loadlines come in handy to define the window of operation for the application you have in mind.
You can, for instance, run a 6DJ8 at very low plate voltage and very low current but you'll notice the bias voltage will also need to drop to very low voltage for the tube to work in a linear fashion within that framework...
If it's low distortion you want you'll inevitably have to stick to a zone of operating characteristics where that particular tube is linear.
Further tweaking of voltage and current will allow you to find
the "sweet spot" of that tube for your application as you're sliding up and down your loadline.
Re: does plate current/voltage effect tube sound????
Dig out your plate curves. Go to say... 6V6 in triode mode. Pick a random point below the Vg=0V curve. Say, 200V 30mA. (About -11.5Vg bias.) Now draw a loadline (we'll be using a transformer, as a resistor load would be more complicated), say 20mA per 100V (i.e. 5kohm). This will intersect the 0mA axis at 450V and the 0V axis at 70mA. You can see it has around -80V (intersecting the 0Vg curve at 120V) and +65V output (intersecting the imagined curve of Vg = -23V. The assymetry in these swings is 2nd harmonic distortion.
Now increase bias current. Loadline slope remains constant. Bias voltage is reduced. The effect is, your negative (that is, Vp closer to zero) swing is reduced because you are now closer to the 0Vg curve. Distortion goes down because you are operating at a higher current = more linear range, but swing is less. Since load resistance is the same, power output has dropped.
If you instead reduce current, negative swing increases because you are farther from the 0Vg curve, however, positive swing increases a bit slower because it goes increasingly farther into the cutoff region. This produces more 2nd harmonic distortion. An extreme case might be this load resistance at 5 or 10mA. You're down around -20 or 25V bias, allowing a swing of up to 50Vp-p giving a minimum peak of -50Vg. This is off the scale and can be assumed as 0mA, that is, cut off. You are now in class AB1. The output has a severely flattened top, evidence of that cutoff. Output impedance is very high in that region so it's an opportune time for another tube to fill in, hence class AB1 PP.
If you increase voltage instead of current, bias increases to keep the current constant and you move farther from the 0Vg curve. Thus you gain negative swing towards that line, but again your positive swing approaches the cutoff region. The difference of this vs. low current is that swing increases in abosolute rather than relative terms.
Reduced voltage will simply reduce swing in the same way that increased current does. Grid voltage swing is necessarily reduced, with the attendant reduction in output swing. It won't be as linear as the higher current situation, however.
thanks to those that replied... alas, not quite what i was after... sorry, i should've been more specific.
all the loadlining stuff... already looked at it myself when i first startedt thinking about this stuff... none the less, thanks for your lengthy article sch3matic... i only browsed through it quickly, but i will read it more in depth after i write this... i never know, there might be some insight into what can be obtained from loadlines in there i never knew of that you refer to in it.
what i was more interested in was things that can't be obtained from loadlines, like how frequency response might change at different operating points, if at all... and wether a different operating point would alter noise level... and also how operating point might effect the shape/transition into distortion.. by this i didn't mean the composition of the distoriton (ie, percentage of x harmonic), but how the tube clips... does it clip harder/softer... like, how does it effect the roll into distortion... can operating point effect how hard the clipping is when transfering from below clipping into clipping teritory??? for example, assume some magical, perfect tube, so @ all operating points, we had perfectly symetrical voltage swing... can operating point effect how hard the clipping is assuming this perfect symetry if we compared the distortion at these different points at the same THD.
about the lower than standard voltage and running plate from earth while biasing cathode very negative... i wasn't asking would it work... already knew it would... but i was asking 'how' would it work... i was making reference to my questions about operating points really for the non standard lowered plate voltage about freq. response clipping shape, etc... and for the plate at zero, cathode biased more negative thing, i was thinking more along the lines of noise and anything else someone might think of... like for example, can this effect noise from the filaments much... say we floated the filaments fairly high, and biased the cathode very negative, would this give much less noise, or it wouldn't effect it enough to worry about it??
again, thanks for your replies, and thanks for the reference to the inverted triode frank, i will have a look soon... for now i reply.
by the way sch3matic... i looked at your website, and noticed you too were a school kid, and thought hey cool, i'm not the only young cat around here. :) good to see someone else my age that's into tubes.
Yeah, seems to be a lot of us young'ins here. ;)
Ok, so you wanted frequency response and stuff. Simple, that depends on the circuit. :clown: If you have a highly capacitive circuit (say, driving a triode output tube), max. F is determined by the Zo and C; you get an RC time constant and a slew rate.
Low frequencies are affected solely by coupling caps and inductance (transformers, chokes), something tubes typically have less control over. Feeding a coupling cap, if the tube's Zo rises - say you replace a triode (low Zo) with a pentode (high Zo) - it adds series resistance to the RC network formed by the amplifier > Zo > coupling cap > grid leak system. Typically you'll have a plate resistor so this will only have a certain maximum, and even with a zero Zo tube, it has a certain minimum. At most there will be a 2:1 difference, not really significant.
As to inductance, it depends on the value. Low values (on par with the triode's Zo at the lowest frequency of interest) will be affected much more than large inductances. This much is obvious, but contrasting situations do present themselves - 150H on a 10 or 20mA driver tube for instance, contrasted with a mere 5H in a lower quality OPT fed by a stage of say 100mA. The 150H won't very well exist except at very low frequencies, as far as the driver is concerned; however the output tube will be chugging harder at 50Hz and below due to the inductive load.
(Hmm, I'm taking a gratuitous number of words to explain something that should be simple... I must be tired again... which is hardly suprising, as my last post was 4 hours ago?)
Ok. What's next. Abruptness of clipping y'say? Doesn't really happen. Depends on the circuit too, but we'll assume your driver is chicken and can't supply any grid current, causing the overdriven peak to be flattened.
In all cases with any tube, the lower-current end of the output will ALWAYS be shorter (there is no such thing as a perfect-symmetry-output tube, it's inherent in the very physics inside them) due to the cutoff effects. As I said, higher current can be used to reduce distortion, at the price of lower swing. Swing can well be more than necessary, but if you simply dropped bias (or increased voltage) you would better utilize the tube..... You can't eliminate this though.
What's next. Um, heater bias I guess. Cathode negative, plate zero, heater zero I guess, is an ideal situation within H-K ratings. (Obviously you don't want to put -4572V on a cathode with the heater grounded in any tube besides a damper diode!) This, I presume, has lower noise due to there being no current flowing in the parasitic diode.
If the cathode is more positive w.r.t. heater, it forms a diode where electrons boil off the very hot heater and are attracted to the relatively cool cathode sleeve. Presumably this causes noise, particularly rectification of the AC heating power if used. If the heaters are floating rather than grounded, chances are in a case like this they'll float up above most of the cathodes due to this very diode effect. :D
^^ I say "presume" because I've never taken a noise measurement before in my life, hum noises aside. The three amps I have on right now are dead; Frankenhouse has floating(!) heaters, Hept'AU7 has one end grounded since I have a doubler tacked on for grid bias and the preamp has elevated heaters. Personally, I'll never worry about noise (of the hissing variety) until I'm working with either >100dB/W speakers or phono preamp circuits. If you stick your head in my speakers (probably somewhere in the 90dB/W range) and listen carefully, you might hear some hiss. But by that distance, you'll hear the hum too..

hi tim,
thanks again for the reply.
as far as the freqency response you dealt with, you're absolutely right... especially about the simple part! :D A couple of minutes with a pen and paper will even give you number values on your frequency response!:cool:
alas, once again, not quite what i was asking about...
have a look at the situation i drew up for you in paint that i attatched... a couple of loadlines and a little explanation written down the side.
now, for this example, frequency response due to the output circuit is the same for both operating points, despite 150V difference in plate voltages and about .8mA in current.
this is why i am asking these kinds of questions... i am interested in what is taking place 'inside' the tube... what you were refering too was frequecny response due to the output circuit. i am interested in knowing wether a tube amplifies some frequencies more than others at certain voltages, and how inter-electrode capacitances at different operating points might effect it, and so on...
as far as what you said about abruptness of clipping, what do you mean it doesn't happen??? different abruptnesses of clipping can happen... one of the main comparisons people bring up between transistors and tubes... and even different tube types transfer into distortion differently... what i want to know, is within the same tube, can operating point effect how it transfers into clipping?
what i do design at the moment though, is guitar amps... in these, you are generally using 97dB or higher efficiency speakers with a phono level input signal... add to that, guitar amps are usually designed to purposefully use clipping, often in quite large amounts... the huge amounts of gain used over many stages in these designs leads to obvious noise problems. effective noise abatement methods is one area where guitar amp designers actually need to achieve a higher level of perfection than hifi amps do.
anyways, thanks for your replies, i apreciate it. :)
But that doesn't answer your question, as you asked w.r.t. operating points. I would have to guess that, grid current aside, when pushed into the distorting areas, it will always be the same gradual figure. Only external means of additional NFB can straighten this out. Triodes do it a little gracefully due to a combination of internal NFB and its nonlinearity, indeed you can operate a triode at a higher current and get very little distortion as you are running in a more constant-Rp region. (Look at 6SL7, 6SN7 to some extent, 12B4, they all have straight curves after a certain range.) A pentode has very little NFB and hence is always distorting, though THD is still less for smaller signals. Transistors have an exponential curve and when amplifying a triangle wave, the output is known as "barn roof" or something like that, because you're applying an exponential function (the Ebers-Moll equation FWIW) to a linear signal. It looks like a barn roof! :clown:
These factors won't really change with operating point, with the exception of making things relatively smaller: i.e., say you want 20V output. That's 20% of +100V but only 5% of +400V. If the same nonlinearity exists, it will be 4 times smaller at the 400V operating point. A generalization, mind you...
- Oh, a good way to visualize that would be to draw a curve and mark a small area near zero, then mark the same width area at a higher level. Which is straghter?

Re: Americans With Disability Act
The Supreme Court decision for Spector v. Norwegian Cruise Line Limited is 25 pages long and I understand the same written decision via Adobe Acrobat is 46 pages long.
Due my poor eye sight, for which I apoligize , I have gotten as far as page 12 and I think there are too many repetitive paragraps going over the same point.
So far I have determined the Supreme Court has issued a report filled with loopholes that benefit any defendant cruise line. The most important piece of informtion is that foreign flagged cruise lines tthat use U.S. ports for embarking and disembarking U.S. citizens, and who ply in U.S. territorial waters can no longer plead that they are no subject to ADA Title III. The Supreme Court, so far in my readings, has held that for foreign flagged ship plyng in International waters are not subject to ADA. Another loopholed that has prevailed since 1993 is that the DOT has yet to come up with specifications as to the constructiion of a wheelchair accessible stateroom and the rest of the ship.
After the wife was disabled in 2001 we cruised on a Princess ship, where each morning and early evening the passage ways were clogged with large room steward carts. The space between the wall and the carts was too small to pass with a wheelchair and I suppose to complain about this would be out of order since to relocate the carts would interfere with the internal affairs of the ship(another loop hole).
I learned a new word from the court decision. "Coaming",these are those floor saddles that are difficultt to roll over in a wheelchairs. Anyway, based on four years pushing ny better half I have concluded that those wheelchair staterooms are usually the poorest location on the ship Either they are in the foremost front part of the ship or aft requiring long distances to the dining facilities dependent on the ship. On the HAL "Statendam" class ships, two cabins are directly under the galley, proividing little sleep at night or early morning for the disabled occupants. IIt seems thaat the shower drains aare so poor that the bathroom is flooded.

HOUSTON, Texas--An ad placed in the Penny Saver Newspaper in Murrieta, California is seeking "loving, compassionate parents to provide a loving home" for illegal immigrant minors, according to a local reader of the publication.
Lisa Maloney Vinton, a Murrieta resident, provided Breitbart Texas with a purported copy of the advertisement, which was put up by the Crittenton Services and Foster Family Agency. It says, "Help heal the wounds ... for children in foster care programs including survivors of human trafficking and unaccompanied refugee minors."
Parents who offer up their homes could have a child placed in their home in "as short as 45 days" and be paid up to $6,054 per month, according to the advertisement.
Cindy Lemos, another Murrieta resident, told Breitbart Texas that she called the number on the advertisement. She said, "I called this afternoon and the gentlemen I spoke to told me that they are receiving the illegal immigrants but that none of them are under the age of 12. I asked him where all the younger children were... he told me that he was wondering the exact same thing."

This is not a love site and no spells I know could fix this.
You can do multiple things, I would simply speak to your parents. If you are of a culture where this is not allowed, then I would elope (aka run away with him). Other than that, you could just buckle down and marry your cousin to retain your family's love and honor rather than run away with a man your parents do not approve or know about.
It's all really up to you, but from what I know of your culture, it is highly dishonorable to disobey your parents. So, you might be better off discussing how you have a boyfriend who is converting to Islam for you, and that you believe this could be a better choice than your cousin. Bring it up as a discussion, not an absolute.
I agree with the rest. You will need to weigh your options to seewhich one means more to you... family and their belief system or the man you love. I know its hard. Most people would probably choose family, because there is no guarentee your relationship with your bf will last forever, however with my family... I'd take the chance with the bf. Sorry I can't be any more of help than that. Get out2 pieces of paper and foldthem in half.Write down all the pros on one side and the cons on the other. Do this for both situations. It will give you a clear visual of all the thoughts swarming in your mind. I hope all works out for you. Blessed Be!

Metro Health Participates in State-Wide Stroke Study
Metro Health Hospital is the only hospital in West Michigan to participate in a state-wide study to improve the quality of stroke care in Michigan.
The Wyoming, Michigan-based general acute care osteopathic teaching hospital, which is recognized as a stroke center, will receive a small grant for its participation in the five-year study. Metro Health joins the University of Michigan Health System, Henry Ford campuses in Detroit and Sparrow Health System in Lansing among the 23 Michigan hospitals that will participate in the study, which is being funded by the Michigan Department of Community Health in collaboration with the American Heart Association.
Participating hospitals in the Michigan Stroke Quality Improvement Program will report data on their stroke treatment procedures and results, including emergency medical transport, emergency department evaluation, in-hospital evaluation and treatment, and discharge information. Metro Health currently treats about 100 acute ischemic stroke patients per year.
"Metro Health is very pleased to participate in this important study, which really puts the diagnosis of stroke under the microscope in Michigan," said David Knapp, stroke center coordinator at Metro Health. "Participating hospitals will collect and share data, which will allow us to compare Metro to other hospitals in the state, exchange best practices and improve the overall care we provide to stroke patients.
"Stroke is the third most common cause of death in Michigan, cutting across all ages, races and gender. Michigan's mortality rates are slightly higher than the national average. Participating in this program is a tremendous networking opportunity for Metro Health that will allow us to align ourselves with the best healthcare providers in the state for a common goal."
The goal of the study is to assist hospitals to provide "defect-free" care to stroke patients. Metro Health, as with other Michigan stroke centers, follow the American Heart Association's "Get with the Guidelines" recommendations for treating stroke patients.
Knapp said that standard protocols in caring for stroke patients include:
- Rapid evaluation and "clot-busting" drugs, as appropriate
- Screening for swallowing problems
- Being discharged from the hospital on cholesterol-reducing and aspirin-type medications
- Stroke education
- Smoking cessation counseling
Metro Health has received a one-year grant of $6,500 from the Michigan Department of Community Health. Funds received will be used for technical support, professional education and related support services.
In 2006, more than $2 billion was spend in Michigan on the treatment of strokes. Nationally, the number was $57.9 billion. While Kent and Ottawa counties had lower rates of strokes that led to death, Muskegon, Newaygo, Montcalm, Ionia and Allegan experienced middle rates and Barry County experienced some of the highest rates in the state.
Common risk factors for stroke include high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, diabetes, physical inactivity, high cholesterol and diet. Warning signs for stroke include weakness or numbness, trouble speaking or slurred speech, difficulty seeing or walking, dizziness, loss of balance and severe headache.

I think I say this every time I feature a purple wedding...but normally, on any given day, I am not a huge fan of purple. It's a lovely color, especially when it comes to really lush flowers, it's just that all through junior high and high school, my best friend bought everything purple in sight. So she kind of ruined it for me. But! This wedding just might convert me. The purple palette is STUNNING and the details, that were largely DIY, are perfection.
Held at the Crossroads Estate in Los Olivios, the bride and groom decided to DIY the details so that they could afford the awesome photographer, Mary Jane. From what I can tell, it was a fabulous decision. Joy Proctor did the coordination, Lazaro Designs did the invitations and K. Bella Designs did the ridiculously gorgeous flowers. This wedding was purely beautiful and one that I couldn't resist sharing with you.
You can see the entire wedding slideshow right here, or read a bit more about the couple and the affair on Mary Jane's gorgeous blog!

Walton Spell Over
Sheffield United have been dealt a severe blow after new loan signing Simon Walton was ruled out for the season.
Walton, who joined the Blades last week on a season-long loan from Plymouth Argyle was stretchered off during the first half of the Blades 1-0 defeat at Mansfield Town on Saturday.
After last season's injury nightmares, this will have been an added blow to Kevin Blackwell who is already suffering a shortage of numbers at the back.
'It is a tragedy for the lad because he was going to give this chance his best shot. He won't play for us now because his loan will be up by the time he recovers. We are now talking to Plymouth about where Simon will do his rehab.'
United will now be looking to draft in a replacement, with just Chris Morgan, Andy Taylor, Johannes Ertl and Rob Kozluk at the club.

HARTSDALE, N.Y. — Greenburgh community activist and Hartsdale resident Mark Tenzer, 62, died Saturday of cancer.
Tenzer was a former president of the Edgemont Community Council and hosted a Greenburgh public access television show in the early 1990s called "Community Concerns with Mark Tenzer." Recently, he had begun a television show called "Fighting Cancer" that helped cancer patients and their families cope with the disease.
Tenzer, who was diagnosed with stage-four squamous cell carcinoma in 2005, died in his Hartsdale home Saturday. He was the president and chief executive officer of Tenzer Partners, Ltd.
Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner had been friends with Tenzer for years and said he was a "model citizen," always doing what he could to better his community.
"When I think of the ideal community activist, he represents the type of person you really want to see more of," Feiner said. "His motives were always considerate. He always advocated for things that he believed in."
Tenzer is survived by his wife, Delores , and his two children. Photos and memories of Mark Tenzer can be shared on his tribute page . Flowers and gifts can be sent through the page's Sympathy Store.
A memorial service for Tenzer will be held Wednesday from 1 to 3 p.m. at Ballard-Durand Funeral and Cremation Services, 2 Maple Ave. in White Plains.

Octavia, the car Skoda wants to 'grow' on you
The first thing that strikes you about this new Octavia is how big it is inside, while the boot space is impressive.
But the car itself doesn't look that overwhelmingly large, as such. It is big but, you feel, not that enormous.
Until you sit in. Four of us had near-limousine room in it in the course of a reasonably energetic drive (by me, one passenger managed to sleep) over varied roads and weather conditions yesterday.
And while we'll suspend final verdict until we get it home, it is fair to say this is an awful lot of car for the money. Money? Oh yes! Well the ex-works price starts at €18,995. On average, prices are up €1,250 for the petrols and €1,950 for the diesels.
Why? Skoda point to a vastly superior car in terms of size, competency and technology such as Stop/Start, more airbags – and to higher entry-level equipment.
It gets here on March 16 and they reckon limited supply will peg sales at 700. But watch out next year. The Czech Republic maker believes this five-door family hatch will be a world top-10 bestseller.
The huge cabin and boot space is, I suppose, a natural progression given the recent arrival of the less-than-impressive smaller family car, the Rapid, which slots into the range beneath it and above the Fabia supermini. That means this Octavia is 90mm longer, 45mm wider and has a substantially longer wheelbase.
You could easily make an argument for it to be compared with the Ford Mondeo – a car from a sector above it traditionally. Skoda insist, however, that their main rivals are the Volkswagen Golf (blood is not thicker than water when it comes to sales) and the Ford Focus.
But I think people will look again at some larger cars and compare room and price against this. For example, back-seat legroom is up 47mm and there is better headroom. Boot space bears real scrutiny too. At 590 litres (before you drop the back seats) it is larger than the current Ford Mondeo's (528 litres).
This has the Octavia look all the way from the middle pillar, but they have given the front an eye-catching grille. It is, overall, designed with clean-cut lines rather than a blending of curves and angles.
Elegance trim
I drove the two-litre diesel (150bhp) in top Elegance trim and it gobbled up the kilometres. It was on 17ins alloys and in fairness even over rougher surfaces tyre/road noise was not an issue. I felt the steering was a bit vague.
The 1.6-litre diesel (105bhp) will be the mega seller. They expect 95pc of sales to be diesel and will target fleet as well as family buyers. Standard equipment will include seven airbags, front electric windows/mirrors, a four-speaker audio system and 15ins wheels.
But the next trim level, Ambition, will be the big seller. It adds air con, rear electric windows, 16ins wheels, Bluetooth and an eight-speaker sound system. There will be an estate in summer, a vRS diesel and petrol later and there will be four-wheel-drives, including a Scout, in 2014.
We Irish have bought 41,600 Octavias since the first ones arrived in 1998. I have a funny feeling that figure is going to grow quite a bit. Just like the car itself has done.

Violet Fragrance Oil: This is a great, delicate floral with no other top notes. Just a straight violet that smells like your English grandmother.Performance in Cold Process Soap: This fragrance accelerates. It does not discolor.Flashpoint: 200ºF +This fragrance oil is phthalate free.Other Notes: As of October 2015, this fragrance has been reformulated to increase its usage rate. It does smell different, so if you have tried the old version, you might want to try a sample first. Looking for a new blend? Find one herePhoto Attribution:© Can Stock Photo
I really prefer this to the new version. It smells just like the Spiritual Sky perfume from the 70's. I wish they would go back to the old version.
So based on the reviews I was expecting a light floral, with powdery undertones. that is not what I got from smelling this, it is fresh and clean almost reminds me of a fresh spring morning after a night of rain. I think this would blend well with BBs rain fragrance, but since I dont have that fragrance I am going to blend this with baby powder, together those two make a beautiful love child! THIS fragrance is my new favorite i just adore it! But dont expect a floral here its just pure freshness! I used this today in a bath of CP soap and man it smells amazing, but it is very delicate but its going to be a permanent soap for my line. When I let my mom smell the combo of violet and baby powder she lost it and demanded a finished bar. Its so refreshing and clean.
Really like ur out of bottle (matched description), but morphed and faded in cp. Perhaps it was the titanium dioxide because it was a standard olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, castor oil recipe.
Kelsey from Bramble Berry replies...Hi Catherine! I'm so glad you liked the smell of our Violet Fragrance Oil out of bottle, though I'm sorry it did not perform as expected in cold process soap. We found this fragrance oil to be strong when used at 0.96 oz per pound of cold process soaps, found using our Fragrance Calculator and stay true to the straight violet scent. With some olive oils that are really strong, it can affect the smell a bit. Using more oils with a neutral smell really helps. Also, for more help with fading, check out our How to Prevent Scent Fading in Soap blog post.
I never tried the old violet, but this new one is amazing. It smells exactly like violet: floral, sweet, soft, a bit powdery. I can't wait to use this in all my products! This is the violet I've been looking for!
I wrote an email asking the usage rate for a pre Oct 2015 formulation and never received a response. The old blend was perfect and why it was changed I don't know. It soaped cp lovely room temp and smelled amazing. Sad I used the old that worked so nicely. I'm reluctant to try the new now.
We're a friendly group who love social media. See you 'round the web!

The Long Road Ahead: Midland Christian will travel more than 2,400 miles this season
Published 7:00 pm, Tuesday, August 19, 2008
Midland Christian will travel approximately 2,400 miles round trip during its football season.
To put it in perspective, that's like traveling to Chicago and back.
But the Mustangs are in a position in which traveling is necessity. Midland Christian's classification, TAPPS Division II, District 1, includes teams from Arlington and Fort Worth, so each year, the Mustangs are guaranteed at least one long trip east.
This year, Midland Christian does not catch much of a traveling break in their non-district games either. On Sept. 19, the Mustangs make their longest journey of season, roughly 660 miles round trip, when they go to Waco to play Rockdale. The next week, Midland Christian travels to Breckenridge, approximately 200 miles from the home base on Culver Street.
"We're going to travel wherever it takes for us to play ball," said coach Greg McClendon. "That pits us against Rockdale, another good 3A school, and having to go to Waco to play them. We could be playing the Seminoles, the Greenwoods, the Cranes, schools around this area that would be good match ups."
For the games that are more than three hours away, the Mustangs stay the night in a hotel prior to gameday. On those occasions, the coaches and players stick to a common routine that they have used for years.
After waking up and eating breakfast, the team has a workout on the field to "work up a sweat," then eat lunch and go back to the hotel. Once back, the team watches a film or highlight tape in a conference room until it's time for them to get to the stadium.
For some of the younger players, this experience can be challenging the first few times.
"It definitely takes a couple of times (to get used to it)," said senior wide receiver Andew Sloan. "I just remember me the first time, it seemed pretty hectic. Everything was moving really fast. After two or three times, you get used to it. If you have any questions, you just ask the older guys."
For the student-athletes, staying the night in a hotel means getting five days worth of schoolwork done in four. Senior Hutton Brown said his teachers are "really great about it," and each player has to have homework due Friday turned in before they leave Thursday.
Midland Christian School Superintendent Eddie Lee said the athletes tend to be some of the school's best students as well, which makes the occasions in which the team must miss a day of school easier to handle.
"That's very important to us that we keep them in class as much as possible," Lee said. "We try to not to leave a day early, or things like that that would cause them to be out of school.
"It's our experience that a lot of times that our athletes are our better students."
Extra schoolwork or not, the players said staying in a hotel the night before a game is an advantage as compared to driving to the site on gameday.
"Staying in a hotel the night before helps a lot so you don't have to travel up there that day," Brown said. "You get a good night's rest rather than getting up early and driving up."
For McClendon, he won't let the amount his team's travels become an excuse.
"It's going to be a positive because that's what we're going to make it," he said. "I think the people that whine and cry about having to travel and look at all the negatives, it is a stepping stone to getting your tail beat. You take whatever you're given and you take it and become road warriors.
"Instead of whining about how much you travel, you become the team that's going to be the best traveling, going to somebody else's place and playing tough suckers, and that's how we attack it."
Besides the hotel rooms, Midland Christian also has gas and food expenses it has to worry about on the long road trips. While having their own buses and having players contribute toward their meals and rooms help curtail some of the money being spent, McClendon said a road trip can cost anywhere from ,5,000 to ,6,000.
"Athletics is an important part of our school," he said. "If you didn't have them, it'd be like eating brussel sprouts and never getting a piece of cake. It's an important part that we're going to take care of and make sure we have the money to be able to do it."
For a team that goes to Arlington Grace Prep's home field in Coppell and Southwest Christian during district play, the non-district game against Rockdale in Waco may be a blessing in disguise. McClendon said his team will stay overnight before that game, which will serve as a dress rehearsal for those district games.
He added that the seniors know how to conduct business on the long road trips, but the younger kids have never been through it, so the Rockdale game will be a learning experience for the team.
"Our deal is this: we're going to play ball," McClendon said. "We're going to go wherever it takes, play whoever it takes to be able to play ball and be competitive and do it the right way. In that, money is a secondary issue to us. We're not going to be wasteful, but we're going to try and do it the best we can.
"With some of these teams that should be playing us that are not playing us, it forces us to do that, and it's a hardship on us."

Toulouse 22 Leicester 11
Premiership champions Leicester Tigers are close to exiting the Heineken Cup after Toulouse gained revenge for last week's defeat in their Group Six match.
Leicester had started brightly with a well-worked try by Tom Varndell in the right-hand corner after Valentine Courrent had claimed an early lead for the hosts with a drop-goal.
Clement Poitrenaud responded for Toulouse immediately after Cedric Heymans ran a superb line to cut open Leicester. Jean-Baptiste Elissalde kicked his team's second goal before exchanging penalties with Andy Goode to leave the French side 14-8 up at the break.
Leicester started the second half in better shape, and Toulouse seemed to lose their control, but Marcel Loffreda's team were unable to capitalise and were made to pay for this.
Vincent Clerc sealed the victory for with a brilliant score using all his strength to bundle himself into the corner despite the attentions of Seru Rabeni, Martin Corry and Geordan Murphy.
When Elissalde kicked his second penalty soon after the result was confirmed.
Although Leicester still have a mathematical chance of qualification the two-time European champions have now lost twice in the group, and failed to pick up a bonus point in defeat, unlike Toulouse last week, meaning the French side are favoured to make the quarterfinals.
Munster 22 Llanelli Scarlets 13
Munster moved closer to the knockout stages of the Heineken Cup when they registered a well-deserved win against Llanelli Scarlets at Thomond Park.
Early tries were traded through Jerry Flannery and Stephen Jones, but three penalties from Munster fly-half Ronan O'Gara, the third coming when prop Ben Broster was sent to the sin-bin for a foul in the ruck, gave the Irish team a 14-7 lead at half-time.
With Munster's Denis Leamy having a try denied by the video referee just before the break, and Stephen Jones kicking a penalty for Llanelli soon after the players returned, the gap was soon reduced to four points.
O'Gara and Jones each kicked another penalty before Brian Carney took advantage of turnover ball to touch down in the Llanelli corner, despite Munster being reduced to 14 men themselves after Marcus Horan had been shown a yellow card for throwing punch.
A second Llanelli prop, Alex Popham, was binned by referee David Pearson for a high tackle, but Munster were unable to take further advantage of their superior numbers and the score remained 22-13 at the final whistle.
Bristol 20 Harlequins 7
Bristol secured their third win of the season against Harlequins at the Memorial Stadium to keep the pressure on at the top of Heineken Cup Group Three.
Bristol applied the early pressure with fly-half David Hill having the first real opportunity of getting points on the board for the home side after 24 minutes but his penalty was off-target. He also hit the crossbar a couple of minutes later from the other side of the pitch.
Shaun Perry looked to have sparked some life into the game for Bristol shortly before the interval with a 25-metre break through a the visitors' defence but he lacked support at the tackle.
With no points scored in the first period, David Lemi broke the stalemate five minutes into the second after Anthony Elliott had linked up with Rob Higgitt to put the Samoan international clear in the corner.
But Harlequins, down to 14 men after Danny Carr had been binned just before the break, replied immediately when acting scrum-half Simon Keogh kicked ahead for for full-back Tom Williams to score.
Bristol scored a second try in the 54th minute as the forwards piled over the line with subsitute David Blaney claiming the touchdown.
In the closing minutes replacement number eight Andrew Blowers made a break before replacement prop Alex Clarke went over for Bristol's third try which was converted.

Ben sent this to me today. Seems just crazy enough to be true. 🙂 A quote:
Surgeons perform better after warming up with Wii, says a recent study — and that study's authors are now planning to develop surgery training software for Wii.
Two surgeons at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona have found that an hour of playing Wii's motion-controlled games improves surgical residents' score on a virtual surgery training tool by 48 percent.
Interesting read. Thanks, Ben!

Sky Blues round-up
Don Hutchison is already keen to extend the short-term contract he signed last week at the Ricoh Arena.
The former Scotland international has signed a deal until the end of the season after his impressive loan spell and said: 'The gaffer and me have been ribbing each other over the last week but it is nice to get my future sorted, and I am over the moon to play for Coventry.
'I would absolutely love to stay longer than just the end of the season. I have signed six months until the end of the season but I was after another year after this.
'The manager has been ribbing me saying that I am not 21 any more, so we have had a good bit of banter. I don't know the ins and outs of why I didn't get another year, but Coventry have been very good with me and I think it is maybe my age, 34, and a few other things that have maybe counted against me.
'But if I keep on scoring and the team play well and the gaffer wants me, I would love to sign for another year.'
On loan goalkeeper Marton Fulop also wants to carry on playing for the Sky Blues.
The Hungarian has been a first-team regular since joining from Tottenham and told the club website: 'My loan is up at the end of the month but I'd like to extend it until the end of the season.
'I'm enjoying my time here. I like the supporters.'
Captain Stephen Hughes meanwhile has been ruled out for another four to five weeks with an achilles injury.
Hughes had been close to a return from his back problem which has restricted him to just one appearance since November.

With the traditional metal spring replaced for a thin sheet of carbon, Look has created an altogether different approach to the standard pedal
Look Keo Blade pedals
Using the same wide upper portion as the regular Keo 2 Max pedal, Look has replaced the typical, adjustable metal spring with a sheet of carbon to provide the spring medium for the Blade pedals.
>>> Buyer's guide: clipless cycling pedals
The Look Keo Blade pedals have no user adjustment to entry or exit tension but it is available in either a lighter action 8Nm, or the 12Nm version we have here. Upon engagement the first thing you notice is a really audible, positive click so you certainly know when you are clipped in.
Watch: how to fit your cleats
Even though the carbon blade is lighter than a metal spring the pedal still manages to sit nose, allowing easier location of the cleat. For the initial few uses clipping in was relatively difficult coupled with a notchy feel to the typical 'heel out' release movement. As the pedal and cleat began to wear in this stiffness did begin to smooth out.
>>> Icons of cycling: Look's revolutionary clipless pedals
The Look Keo Blade pedals provided a really stable platform when sprinting or climbing out of the saddle. The limited float (4.5°) grey cleats helped with this solid feel. It's good to see that Look has positioned a stainless steel surface on the pedal as one of the issues of their older pedals was the rapid wear of pedal body. These should last a lot longer.
Look cleats have always been prone to excess wear and the new design is no different so be careful when walking. The company has, however improved the cleat engagement points, using a harder material to ensure a more reliable connection.
For more details visit the Look website.
Now available in several versions, the Look Keo 2 Max Blade pedals are an improvement on the already well received Keo pedals. The simple design and reduced weight is perfect for experienced riders but the lack of adjustment might put off newer riders wanting to play with spring tensions. Cleat wear rates are still an issue but better than Look cleats of the past.

Imperial Sugar Co. burn victim Gene Bryan Jr. was discharged Monday from the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta.
Twelve patients remain in critical condition at the center. One victim, Calvin Bryant, is in serious condition, Beth Frits, burn center spokeswoman, said late Monday.
Families for two former refinery employees are now making arrangements for their loved ones' funerals.
McKinley "Von" Habersham Sr. and Alphonso Fields Sr. represent the 10th and 11th deaths among more than 40 injured during the Feb. 7 explosion at the refinery. Habersham died Friday and Fields died Saturday, both at the burn center.
Habersham, 30, of Savannah, was the son of McKinley Cooper and Regina Habersham. He attended the public schools of Chatham County and graduated from Savannah High School in 1996.
He is survived by his wife, Latesha Smalls McKinley, and three children, Kwamen, McKinley Jr. and Ivonna Habersham.
The family has not announced funeral arrangements.
Fields, of Savannah, was a 1971 graduate of Tompkins High School and an employee at Imperial Sugar.
Survivors include his wife, JoAnn Fields of Savannah; one daughter, Toniece Regina (Reggie) Singleton; and a son, Alphonso Fields Jr.
Funeral services will be noon Saturday at Saint Luke Baptist Church, West 38th Street.
Augusta Chronicle reporter Adam Folk contributed to this report.

Tim will be covering his 26th Open Championship this year and he remembered when he covered the 1988 Open Championship at Royal Lytham where Seve won his 3rd Claret Jug. There was a push for Royal Lytham to dedicate a plaque to Seve in tribute to his success there and originally some wanted the plaque to be in the car park where he had his famous moment in 1979. Writer John Huggan disagreed with that idea and said that it should be at 18 where he hit an amazing chip shot to get up and down to clinch victory in 1988.
In 2001, Seve Ballesteros played at Royal Lytham and was struggling a great deal with his game at the time. He wanted to show his son that he could play and Duval finds himself in a similar phase in his career this week. Duval won the 2001 Open Championship at Royal Lytham but he has not won on the PGA TOUR since then. Duval reached the peak of his success with that win at Royal Lytham but it has been downhill from there.
Royal Lytham was also the place in 1996 where Tiger Woods showed his first signs of success in a Major Championship. Tiger shot a second round 66 on his way to making the cut and finishing in a tie for 22nd. Tiger had played in Major Championships prior to the 1996 Open Championship but that was the first time that he showed a level of success on that stage. Of course, he would turn pro later in 1996 and then win his next Major Championship start in the 1997 Masters.
Zach Johnson has had a very productive career and his win in the John Deere Classic marked his 9th on the PGA TOUR. He has proven many times that he is a tenacious player and he showed it again with his second shot from a fairway bunker during the playoff. Tim said that he really enjoys watching Zach compete and he definitely did that at TPC Deere Run. Zach is a player who drives the ball straight and that is what you need to do to win at Royal Lytham & St. Annes.
In his second visit to Monday's Morning Drive, Rosaforte began by saying that when he thinks back to the 1988 Open Championship, Seve Ballesteros was playing terribly in some areas of his game that week. He could not drive the ball straight at all and he was almost entirely reliant on his short game. The fact that he won his 3rd Claret Jug without a long game was astounding and he agrees with writer John Huggan that there should be a plaque for Seve at the 18th green to commemorate the 1988 Open Championship. It is sad that Seve is no longer with us especially during this week.
It was not as though Fred Couples, Bernhard Langer, Tom Lehman, and Corey Pavin are not trying really hard to win Majors on the Champions Tour. Simply put, Roger Chapman is doing something very special with his two wins in the Senior PGA Championship and the U.S. Senior Open this year. Chapman was struggling in his career and even spent time as a rules official while his British peers such as Nick Faldo, Sandy Lyle, and Ian Woosnam were winning Majors. It is great to see Chapman experiencing this kind of success.
Steve Stricker is popular pretty much everywhere he goes but he was especially popular at the John Deere Classic where he finished T5 in his effort to win a fourth straight title. Stricker has a farm in Blanchardville, Wisconsin and when he is in town, he likes to eat at a place called Lady Dawn's Sports Bar and Grill. He is well-liked by everyone and the Bar and Grill has an atmosphere similar to the Super Bowl when he is contention.

Moist, well-drained, fertile soil suits most brassicas, so it is best to work in plenty of organic matter well in advance of planting. Lime should be added to soil with a pH lower than 6.8 to prevent clubroot, and it is sensible to rotate crops to prevent buildup of the disease in the soil. Firm soil keeps the plants stable in winter weather, so do not dig the bed deeply before planting. Brassicas prefer full sun, but will tolerate partial shade, while taller plants, such as Brussels sprouts, need to be staked on windy sites.
Most brassicas are best sown into an outdoor nursery bed or modules under cover in spring, and transplanted into their final positions as young plants. However, sow summer sowings of calabrese and kohlrabi directly into seedbeds in their final positions.
Brassicas are cool-weather crops and tend to bolt during hot, dry spells. Water transplants daily and mature plants once a week in dry weather. Watch for early signs of pests and diseases. The cabbage root fly is common and lays its eggs on all brassicas, so take preventative measures with all seedlings. Cover the plants with fleece to prevent butterflies from laying their eggs. Slugs, snails, aphids, and whiteflies all enjoy brassicas, and pigeons may destroy winter crops. Take measures to avoid clubroot.
Hardy winter and spring crops will stand well in the garden and can be harvested at any point, but eat summer crops fresh, before they bolt.
Netting against pigeons Winter brassica crops are a favorite with hungry pigeons. Preempt their feast and protect plants by covering the brassica bed with netting (image below) secured to stakes or wires that are sturdy enough to last through winter weather.
Thwarting cabbage root flies Female flies lay their eggs at the base of young plants, so buy collars, or make your own out of thick paper or carpet underlay, to prevent this. Use 6-inch squares of your chosen material and cut a slit in the center of each, so that it can be placed snugly around the base of the plant.
Coming back for seconds Broccoli and calabrese continue to produce secondary spears after the central one is cut, and frequent harvesting encourages even more to be produced. When harvesting summer cabbages, leave 2-inch stumps and cut a cross 1/2-inch deep in the top of them. This encourages a loose head of leaves to develop, giving you a second crop.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations impose various registration and filing requirements on companies incorporated outside the United Kingdom ("overseas companies") that open an establishment, whether a place of business or a branch, in the United Kingdom (a "UK establishment"). They replace Part 23 of, and Schedules 21A to 21D to, the Companies Act 1985 ("the 1985 Act") (and the equivalent Northern Ireland provisions) which, amongst other things, implemented—
(a)the Eleventh Company Law Directive (89/666/EEC), and
(b)the Council Directive on the obligations of branches established in a Member State of credit and financial institutions having their head offices outside that Member State regarding the publication of annual accounting documents (the Bank Branches Directive) (89/117/EEC).
Part 2 (regulations 3 to 11) requires an overseas company to register certain particulars and documents with the registrar of companies within one month of opening a UK establishment.
Part 3 (regulations 12 to 17) requires an overseas company to file details of any alterations to the particulars or documents registered under Part 2.
An overseas company is required (Part 4) to register particulars about the usual residential address of its directors and permanent representatives. Part 4 (regulations 18 to 29) and Schedules 1 to 3 implement section 1055 of the Companies Act 2006 ("the Act"), which requires provision to be made corresponding to that made by sections 240 to 246 of the Act (directors' residential addresses: protection from disclosure). Those provisions prescribe the circumstances in which information about a director's residential address can be used by a company and the registrar and disclosed to third parties by the registrar. Part 4 also contains provisions corresponding to provisions made by regulations under section 243(3) to (6) of the Act in the Companies (Disclosure of Address) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/214).
Part 5 concerns the delivery of accounting documents to the registrar by limited overseas companies that are not credit or financial institutions.
Chapter 2 (regulations 31 to 35) applies where the parent law of an overseas company requires the preparation and disclosure of accounts. In those cases the company must deliver to the registrar such accounts and accompanying reports (including any audit and directors' reports) that it files under its parent law. In certain circumstances specified in regulation 32, where an overseas company has more than one UK establishment it is not necessary for that company to file accounts in respect of each of its UK establishments. Regulation 33 also requires the company to notify the registrar of the legislation and accounting principles under which the accounts have been prepared.
Chapter 3 (regulations 36 to 42), together with Schedules 4 and 5, applies where the parent law of an overseas company does not require accounts to be prepared and disclosed. It applies to such companies, with modifications, certain provisions of Part 15 (accounting documents) of the Act. The Regulations set out the provisions of Part 15 that are applied as modified. There are three main obligations—
(a)to prepare accounts in accordance with parent law, international accounting standards or Schedule 4 (or, if the company is a parent company, Schedule 5) to these Regulations,
(b)to identify the set of accounting principles on which accounts have been prepared,
(c)to file those accounts with the registrar.
Part 6 (regulations 43 to 57), together with Schedules 6 and 7, concerns the delivery of accounting documents to the registrar by overseas credit or financial institutions. The structure mirrors Part 5 in that different provision is made for institutions required by parent law to prepare accounts and those not so required.
Part 7 (regulations 58 to 67) requires overseas companies carrying on business in the UK to make certain trading disclosures.
Under Part 8 (regulations 68 to 74) an overseas company with a UK establishment is required to notify the registrar if it is being wound up (regulation 69) or subject to insolvency proceedings (regulation 71) and the liquidator of such a company is likewise subject to filing obligations (regulation 70). Furthermore, an overseas company with a UK establishment must notify the registrar if a judicial factor is appointed (regulation 73).
Part 9 (regulations 75 to 77) contains miscellaneous provisions concerning service of documents (regulation 75), documents subject to Directive disclosure requirements (regulation 76), the duty to give notice of ceasing to have a registrable presence (regulation 77).
Part 10 (regulations 78 to 80) contain supplementary provisions: regulation 78 concerns the documents which may be drawn up and delivered to the registrar in a language other than English, on condition that they are accompanied by a certified translation into English. Those documents include the constitution and accounting documents delivered under these Regulations; revocation of the Oversea Companies and Credit and Financial Institutions (Branch Disclosure) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/3179) which amended Part 23 of the 1985 Act so as to implement the two Directives mentioned in the first paragraph of this note (regulation 79); and transitional provisions and savings (regulation 80).
An Impact Assessment in respect of these Regulations has been produced and copies are available from the Company Law and Governance Directorate, Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, 1 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0ET or on http://www.berr.gov.uk/bbf/co-act-2006/.

Hello! I am Moon Ribbons.
I am here.
To say a bit about me, I love to write. Writing is my way to express myself. I like to say things through what I write, but sometimes it is just for fun. I write a lot of poetry and short stories and such. Also longer stories. I also love to read. I am also a dancer with a very busy schedule. I like to sleep although I don't get any. My toes are permanently damaged from pointe work. I am often hungry. My friends are often what keeps me going. I also like spaces in between paragraphs.
I would love to read the stuff people write (and I'll review it). I'll try to be nice. :D
I also have a Quizilla account (That website drives me insane), in case you've seen any of my stuff before. It is unfortunately name KiroChan.
I have a FanFiction account too. It is also called Moon Ribbons.

Blair's chemistry with Bill Clinton, who was president when Blair took up residency at 10 Downing St., was obvious. Both were highly intelligent, smooth-talking, center-left and charismatic. So why did Blair quickly become a soul mate of Clinton's plodding, inarticulate and conservative successor?
Their bond was forged by 9/11 and remained secure by their similar views on foreign policy, especially in Iraq. Blair's strong calls for perseverance in Iraq were always an eloquent version of Bush's stay-the-course drone.
Iraq was Blair's downfall. Polls show that 70 percent of Britons believe Iraq will tarnish his legacy. An informal Christian Science Monitor survey asking Britons for their views of the best and worst of Blair elicited a broad range of positives, "but one four-letter word kept cropping up."
In his resignation speech the week before last, Blair said, "I decided we should stand shoulder to shoulder with our oldest ally. Hand on heart, I did what I thought was right. I may have been wrong." (Bush insists that history will judge him to be right.)
Without doubt, the strong alliance of America and Britain dating back to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill played a large role in the Bush-Blair relationship. Perhaps reluctantly, Gordon Brown, the British finance minister and assumed successor to Blair, is likely to adhere to that legacy.

Even though they sometimes do not realize it, a number of alumni seem destined to take their AU experiences — both in and out of the classroom — along a "green" path.
