OKLAHOMA CITY – An Oklahoma law enforcement agency is saying goodbye to its chief.
On Monday, the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety announced that Oklahoma Highway Patrol Chief Ricky Adams is retiring.
"It has been an honor and great privilege to have led the state's premiere law enforcement agency. As a team we have made remarkable progress, overcome tremendous obstacles, bled together, and stood together through triumph and tragedy, all while providing quality service to the citizens of Oklahoma. I will always treasure my service to DPS and as the Chief of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol will remain a proud part of who I am as my time here comes to close," Chief Adams said.
Effective Dec. 1, Michael S. Harrell will be promoted to chief.
Harrell has been a member of OHP since 1995 and has served as a troop commander for several units across the state.


When a vertebral joint becomes tight, misaligned or moves out of its normal position, it is referred to in the chiropractic profession as the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC). VSC can be caused by a wide range of issues ranging from a minor slip or bump to a car accident or any other trauma. When a vertebrae is subluxated, it can put pressure on nerves, blood vessels and other surrounding structures.
Most importantly, the subluxation interrupts the normal movement of nerve signals that carry messages between the body and the brain. Further, as time goes by, and the subluxation remains untreated, the spine and surrounding structures such as bones, discs,and joints can begin to degenerate.
This degeneration becomes more difficult when it advances and the surrounding muscles, nerves and bones begin to adapt to the breakdown process. The longer the subluxation is untreated, the longer it will take for correction.
Chiropractors are experts in the manipulation of the spine. Small, quick, and gentle movements to the spinal joints can stretch the joint capsule and ligaments, repositioning the vertebrae back into its natural position. Through a course of spinal treatment, a vertebral subluxation can be corrected, restoring normal movement, position, and nerve function.

Frontiers in Public Health recently published this study which reveals that any benefits they provide (the energy boost) really aren't worth the terrifying risks that are included in drinking energy drinks. Those risks can include obesity, tooth decay, kidney damage (and possibly eventual failure), mental health decline, and a drastic increase in blood pressure — a prerequisite to heart disease and a heart attack.
While different energy drink brands will have different levels of heart-weakening ingredients, they all still contain harmful elements like high amounts of sugar, caffeine, and even ginseng. "The excess caffeine may contribute to cardiovascular outcomes, such as increased blood pressure," says Josiemer Mattei, a Harvard School of Public Health assistant professor.
These energy drinks — commonly targeted in marketing towards kids, teens, and college students — are creating serious health issues in young people that will lead to major health complications before they're even 40. There are even some ingredients in the drinks that aren't on the label.
The reason why these energy drink companies can market such potentially-dangerous drinks is because the FDA has declared them as supplemental, and therefore aren't as well regulated. To fully lower the risk of receiving any of the various harmful side effects, it's best to really just avoid them altogether.
SHARE this article with your friends to warn them about the potential health impairments that energy drinks pose!


I really wanted to get the writing finished by the end of 2017 but events intervened that required my attention – primarily, negotiating agreements related to the unconventional 2017 expedition to Nikumaroro; responding to the bogus History Channel documentary; and providing historical research and forensic support for Dr. Jantz's forthcoming anthropological paper on the identity of the castaway whose bones were found in 1940. That work is now completed and I've been able to resume writing.
you'll find PDFs of the three completed chapters. Please give them a read and let me know what you think.
The earlier chapters deal with Lockheed's development of the Model 10 Electra and the negotiations that resulted in Purdue University's sponsorship of Earhart's Model 10E Special. Those chapters are necessarily text-heavy with relatively few photos. In Chapter Three, the Earhart airplane becomes a reality. Presenting photos of Amelia and the Electra in their correct historical context makes images that are familiar to anyone who has followed the Earhart saga more informative and poignant. Chapter Three also introduces the first of many full color illustrations of the Electra derived from the meticulous drawings made by TIGHAR member Bill Harney.
As with the first two chapters, the layout of Chapter Three as presented in the PDF is for review purposes. We expect the final, printed book to be in a large-format coffee-table style. Photos and illustrations will be much larger than in these draft versions. The printed book will also include an appendix with easy-to-read facsimiles of all the historical paperwork on the airplane including Lockheed forms and memoranda and Bureau of Air Commerce license applications, inspection reports, certificates and correspondence.
This book is a "prequel" to my 2006 book "Finding Amelia – The True Story of the Earhart Disappearance" published by the Naval Institute Press. I have decided to end the book with the June 1, 1937 takeoff from Miami that began the second ill-fated world flight attempt. I covered the world flight itself, the disappearance, and the government search in my first book. No need to re-plow that ground.
Like the first book, this is an exhaustively researched and footnoted history book that presents the documented facts in what I hope is an engaging, easy-to-follow narrative.
This is a story that has never been fully told. This book should clear up common misconceptions and mythology about the Earhart Electra but, more importantly, permit a better understanding of why the Earhart saga ended in tragedy.
How soon I can get the remaining chapters written will largely depend on how the fundraising goes, but I'm hoping to have Chapter Four ready for review in February.

May 28Parents Struggle to Find Normalcy through the Pandemic
May 14An Interview with our Director of School Nutrition
Female Athletes: Why Are They Still Paid Less?
Hannah Ortiz, Studio D Writer
In February 1869, a letter was sent to the editor of the New York Times asking why women that worked in the government didn't get paid as much as the men.
Women were getting paid half the salary as men all the while still raising children. It took from 1869 to 1963 to make progress in this area when The Equal Pay Act of 1963 was passed on June 10th by President John F. Kennedy.
The act was put in place to do away with the wage difference based on gender; but let's face it, women still get far less money than men. Let's compare women's pay verses the men in sports.
Throughout history male sports teams have been given more money, time, and attention. WNBA players' salaries constitutes 22 percent of league revenue, while the NBA player salaries are 50 percent of league revenue.
In 2018 Forbes announced that the list of the top 100 highest – paid athletes are all males. Only 83% of sports now reward men and women equally. According to Forbes, the NBA generated $7.4 billion in 2017 in comparison to the WNBA's $25 million. However, the starting salary for the women's league is $50,000, whereas the minimum salary for a professional NBA player is $582,180.
The Women USA Soccer Team have made history by winning four World Cups while the Men's USA Soccer Team haven't won a single one, yet the men get paid a significant amount more. The women's team have also won more medals in the Olympics while the men haven't even placed to qualify in the Olympics. Still, the women's team get paid 10-60% of what the mean get paid. It seems that the women are getting all the glory while the men get the paid the big bucks.
Even in the 21st century, women still make an average of .79 on the dollar to men. We have come a long way and it has taken many years to get where we are but it seems we still have a long way to go.

A Few Surprises 300 Developers Revealed in a Survey

For application developers, open source has become an indispensable part of the development process. In fact, we've found that over 90 percent of professional developers use open source in building their applications.
Why? What do professional developers see as the biggest benefits of using open source? Conversely, what are the biggest drawbacks? And how much time do developers spend on maintenance tasks related to the open source packages they use?
In a recent survey, nearly 300 professional developers helped us uncover some surprising new data about open source usage trends like these in professional development teams. Here are a few of the most interesting findings.
Finding #1: Developers Like Open Source For Getting Work Done Quicker and More Cost-Effectively
Our survey listed ten reasons to use open source — from makes me more productive to increases application performance — and asked developers to rate them from not at all important (0), to extremely important (10). None of the ten reasons we listed scored below five — that is, none is seen as unimportant. Topping the list of open source benefits are makes me more productive, speeds up development and deployment time and reduces development costs.
Finding #2: Concerns About Using Open Source Remain
Notwithstanding the developers' love of open source, there remain a number of areas where they have concerns. Three key areas stood out from the others among developers we surveyed:
Avoiding security vulnerabilities;
Making safe bets on packages being maintained into the future;
Staying current on packages they're using.
In addition, we found that respondents in organizations with development teams of 1,000 or more people are significantly more concerned with keeping track of the open source code in use than are respondents from smaller dev shops.
Finding #3: Code Maintenance Takes 30% of the Average Developer's Week
Our data shows that developers spend on average 30% of their time on code maintenance (including tasks like refactoring, debugging, rewriting functionality, paying down technical debt, etc) with open source contributing about 25 percent of this workload.
Developers on larger teams spend more time on code maintenance than do developers on smaller teams. And while open source represents a significant minority of code maintenance work for most developers, nearly 10 percent of respondents say most to all of their code maintenance relates to open source.
Tidelift makes open source work better—for everyone. Through the Tidelift Subscription and in direct partnership with maintainers, Tidelift is a single source for proactively managed open source components and professional assurances around those components.
The latest from Tidelift
Open source has completely revolutionized the way software is developed today, because it helps developers get work done more quickly and cost-effectively. But as impactful as it has been, there are still opportunities to make it even more useful and less difficult to maintain for professional development teams.

Europe's ExoMars 2020 lander will go ahead as scheduled, despite the failure of the test-run Schiaparelli lander this past October, the European Space Agency (ESA) said today at the end of a council meeting at which government ministers from its 22 member states agreed on budgets for the next several years. ESA won a total of €10.3 billion for a wide range of projects extending into next decade but because the agency had requested €11 billion, some belt tightening will be required. And there was one notable casualty: the Asteroid Impact Mission (AIM), which planned to study in detail and land on a near-Earth asteroid in 2022, did not win enough support from member governments to proceed.
There will be huge relief that ministers supported going ahead with ExoMars 2020 as planned, because it has been on the books at ESA for more than a decade. The mission carries a rover that will be able to, for the first time, drill as deep as 2 meters below the surface in search of present or past life. The first part of the ExoMars program—the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO)—successfully entered Mars orbit in October. It carried with it Schiaparelli, a demonstrator designed to test landing technology. But after a faultless atmospheric entry, a software error caused Schiaparelli to think it was on the surface when it was still kilometers from landing and it subsequently crashed.
Because Schiaparelli was able to transmit data during the landing to the TGO, ESA engineers believe they can avoid a similar mishap in 2020. But it remained to be seen whether ESA members agreed with them. They did; today, ministers approved the €440 million funding needed to complete the ExoMars mission, but with caveats. Some €97 million of the total must come not from the ExoMars budget line, but from ESA's central funding, which pays for other science missions. That could potentially lead to conflicts down the line.
"Today I am very confident we will do it. We have some contingency," ESA Director General Jan Wörner told a postcouncil press conference today.
ESA's central funding won a modest increase of 1% per year before inflation. Wörner pointed out that, with inflation as low as it is today, that does represent some growth in funding, but it doesn't mean life will be easy.
"We are in a little bit of a difficult situation: That increase will be eaten up by ExoMars. We didn't get a free ticket from the member states," he said.
If inflation increases, then the trouble will mount, because it will eat into the budget for science missions which, with €508 million in 2017, form the biggest budget line in ESA's central funding.
We can do what we're committed to and can launch what we're planning to launch up to 2021.
ESA science missions due for launch in that time span include the Cheops mission to study exoplanet transits, the BepiColombo probe to Mercury, the Solar Orbiter, and the Euclid dark energy mission.
ESA member states also reasserted their commitment to the International Space Station (ISS) by approving nearly €1 billion in funding to remain part of the project beyond the current 2020 agreement to 2024. As part of the current deal, ESA is building a service module for NASA's Orion capsule. The module will provide electricity, water, oxygen, and nitrogen for astronauts, as well as propulsion once Orion is in orbit. By agreeing to extend ISS operations, ESA commits itself to building a second-service module as part of a barter arrangement with NASA.
Asteroid researchers will be dismayed to hear of the demise of AIM. The mission intended to send a small spacecraft to a 170-meter lump of rock nicknamed Didymoon, because it orbits around a slightly larger asteroid called Didymos. Didymoon is interesting because a NASA mission called Double Asteroid Redirection Test is intending to smash into it at 6 kilometers per second to see what effect that has on its motion. AIM would have observed the condition of the asteroid before and after the collision. Wörner said he will be traveling to Washington, D.C., next week to discuss with NASA what the AIM cancellation means for the joint mission.
That's very interesting; but what's your question?
Could micro-organisms be released on Mars in preparation for human occupation?
What are the ramifications of moving Mars into the Earths orbit lagged 180 degrees?
Has NASA found the food source for early life on Mars?

10 replacement carbon cartridges for use with the Filter system that is supplied with the Air Still home distillation system.
These cylindrical carbon cartridges are replacements for the one supplied with the combined Filter and Collection system that is either supplied with the latest model of the Still Spirits Air Still, or which can be purchased separately if you are using an older or alternative design of air cooled pot still.
Smart Still suggest collecting the distillate in your collection jug and then diluting it to 40% ABV before passing through these filters, as they work most efficiently at this concentration, rather than at the higher ABVs present during the early part of the distillation process.

Q: jquery fadein duration variable from input field I want to have the fadein duration equal to a user input value. The code below does not work. Please help. thank you
<button class="btn1">Fade out white</button>
<button class="btn2">Fade in black</button>
<input type='number' id='seconds' onblur="f_function()">

A: You need to convert value to int first and then convert it to mili-second:-
var num_sec = parseInt($('#seconds').val())*1000;

And you have to do it like below actually:-
<button class="btn1">Fade out white</button>
<button class="btn2">Fade in black</button>
<input type='number' id='seconds'>

Example:-

$(document).ready(function(){
  $(".btn1").click(function(){
      $('#box').fadeOut(parseInt($('#seconds').val())*1000);
  });

  $(".btn2").click(function(){
      $('#box').fadeIn(parseInt($('#seconds').val())*1000);
  });
});

<button class="btn1">Fade out white</button>
<button class="btn2">Fade in black</button>
<input type='number' id='seconds'>

fill value in input box and then click on buttons to see fadeIn/fadeOut effect

A: The jQuery duration is in milliseconds
It should be:
var num_sec = $('#seconds').val() * 1000;

Documentation: http://api.jquery.com/fadeout/
You can do something like:

$(document).ready(function(){
 $(".btn1").click(function(){
  var num_sec = $('#seconds').val() ;
  if( num_sec == "" ) return; /*Return if #seeconds has no value */
                $('#box').fadeOut( num_sec * 1000 );
 });

 $(".btn2").click(function(){
  var num_sec = $('#seconds').val();
  if( num_sec == "" ) return; /*Return if #seeconds has no value */
        $('#box').fadeIn( num_sec * 1000 );
 });
});
#box {
 width : 300px;
 height : 300px;
 background-color : red;
}

<button class="btn1">Fade out white</button>
<button class="btn2">Fade in black</button>
<input type='number' id='seconds'>

To Your Eternity Episode 13 has just been released and Fushi is experiencing some serious growing pains. While nowhere near as heartbreaking as episode 12, it's nevertheless filled with grief. Not only is Fushi still processing the death of Gugu, but he also has to prevent the second sort of death; the loss of important memories.
Fushi finally knows his call, and he's set out on a perilous journey to fulfill his destiny. But could he go back to being an orb?
Are you excited to find out more? If so, keep reading. Below, you'll find our handy guide to To Your Eternity Episode 14, including the 20-episode show's release date, airing time, and more!
To Your Eternity Episode 13 Recap
To Your Eternity is adapting an award-winning manga series written and illustrated by Yoshitoki Oima, who is also the author of A Silent Voice. In it, we follow the story of a mysterious immortal being who first comes to the earth nameless and emotionless. The being, who comes to be known as Fushi can take any form but starts with no identity and becomes increasingly human through stimulation.
Warning: If you have yet to watch To Your Eternity Episode13 you might want to skip to the next section as there will be spoilers below.
Fushi has a hard time processing his grief and calls on his creator for the first time. The mysterious figure does little to help though. Fushi only begins to find himself when Pioran finds him and insists on traveling with him. Pioran makes him understand that Nokkers stole March's memories from him and prompts him to go to a faraway island where he can train undisturbed and grow stronger.
Unfortunately, he and Pioran embark on a ship that carries dangerous prisoners, after a young girl who works at the docks guides them there. Fushi is forced to stay in a cage with men while Pioran is taken away to the women's part of the ship. Fushi soon finds out that the ship goes to an island where prisoners are sent, never to return.
It turns out that the girl might have made more than an innocent mistake... she does seem a little sinister. Will Fushi manage to reunite with Pioran and escape, or is this lawless island the stimulation he needs to defeat Nokkers? Stay tuned to find out.

Neil Thompson has chosen to use the 150th anniversary of his employer, National Friendly, based in Queen Square, Bristol, as an opportunity to raise money for the mutual society's charity of the year.
He will be joined on the trek, which is scheduled to take place from 16th to 20th April (timed to finish on the actual day of the anniversary), by friends Andrew Bailey and Julian Rigby.
Two years ago, Neil completed the ultra marathon Green Man Challenge around the outskirts of Bristol (45 miles in under 24 hours) with Julian. He followed this last year by joining Andrew on a walk from Bath to Cheltenham (100km in under 24 hours).
National Friendly was formed in Albury, Surrey where the local reverend set up a friendly society to help villagers prepare for the contingency that ill-health might prevent them from working. The Reverend Canon Portal was a keen walker and he and novelist Lewis Carroll often walked the Surrey countryside together.
Now based in the centre of Bristol, what better way to mark the society's anniversary than to make the physical journey from Albury to Bristol? Better still, the walk hopes to gain publicity and raise money to support research of one of the UK's most common life-shortening inherited conditions.
The charity was proposed by head of sales and marketing at National Friendly, Wayne Carter, whose own brother and sister died from cystic fibrosis.

REVIEW | Yea-Ming and The Rumors' 'So, Bird…' transports to another era
byCraig James
Yea-Ming
By Craig James
The noise of a cassette tape closing and low-fi strumming catch us off guard; memories of days past and the satisfaction of a tape deck "click" before the music starts. Yea-Ming Chen has transported us to another era before we have listened for two seconds. This is the gift of So, Bird… a gift to our imaginations as images, memories, and nostalgia flood in.
Yea-Ming's bright alto voice delivers a shiny melancholy tinged with acceptance. Through listening, we journey with her into confessional spaces. Some songs are so personal you feel you are trespassing as if a ghost observing the untimely death of a relationship, but with music so deceptively upbeat and ultimately healing.
Yea-Ming and The Rumors' So, Bird… has many influences that reveal themselves throughout the recording, but when you think you have her pinned down, she shifts, and we fly elsewhere. Nico, Joni Mitchell, and Lucinda Williams are just a few female talents who helped pioneer indie folk/alt-country in different directions. Yea-Ming has absorbed them all and stamped her unique voice on the genre. Asked whom she would cite as influences, she named; Yo La Tengo, Lee Hazelwood, Japanese Breakfast, Aislers Set.
Yea-Ming and The Rumors' have delivered before, and this sophomore offering on Lilystars Records builds on their reputation without reinventing their sound.
The Rumors' are:
Yea-Ming Chen, guitar/vocals/piano/etc
Eoin Galvin, guitar/lap steel
Sonia Hayden, drums
Anna Hillburg, bass/vocals
Session musician Matt Bullimore played guitar/synths/organ and handled engineering duties with a deft touch. While the recordings were produced by: Mike Walti, Yea-Ming Chen, and Matt Bullimore.
"I Don't Dare"
Takes us to observe an unbalanced relationship. It starts with a private home studio ambiance as if you are listening to a demo track, as Yea-Ming exposes her vulnerability. Still, before the first minute is over, she reveals a polished indie sound that is distinctly Yea-Ming. Singing, "Baby, I don't dare to tell you that I care," she sets the scene as she confesses, "In my head, I scream and yell" over music full of calming self-control. The song ends with the self-hug of a reminder to herself, "Baby hold on."
Oh Sweet Mother
Shows off pop sensibilities and is the first release from the album. While feeling relaxed, the song is about "being haunted by past mistakes and the regret that can suddenly, out of nowhere, feel so clear." This has the depth of Harvest Moon, and while Yea-Ming admits to initially wanting to break new ground, she does this by not imitating influences but taking them one step further.
A song of yearning, set against swelling guitar and a simple melody. The understated percussion, laid-back pop sensibilities, and slide guitar move us easily to imagine growing old living by the "breathing sea." Once again, Yea-Ming does not take the most direct route and mulls mars and the hall of fame in a life of possibilities.
Back To The Days Of I Don't Knows
A change of pace and Yea-Ming sings of finding her own feet as she transports us Back To The Days Of I Don't Knows. Remember them? Yea-Ming does and reminds us of when we resisted change and wanted things to stay the same. A strong song deserving of radio play.
Pour Some On You
Once more, we are in relationship territory, and Yea-Ming is unsure. Suffering insomnia, she sings "I want more to do" and interrogates herself over layers of sophisticated pop.
The sparse musical intimacy reflects the lyrics mapping out "trouble found if we don't watch out, so look me in the eyes, my love." An honest plea for communication, or as the press release for the album reads, "a confessional map of the landscape of heartbreak."
The bubbling pop of Ruth disguises a "vampire folk tale." Yea-Ming is enjoying herself, and the underlying country guitar fits the storytelling and song perfectly.
Heartache Aint Nothing
"It ain't true, but I'll say it anyway, a heartache ain't nothing to me." This lyrical double negative could sit comfortably at the heart of this album. Yea-Ming knows what she is doing, and we bounce merrily along while she tries to convince herself or us while knowing she is fooling no one.
Sleeping In California
It is a song that grows and stays with you, an earworm with lyrics to ponder. "So, bird… be mine. Hey, trees… be kind." A gentle healing mood as Yea-Ming assures us she will stay around awhile.
I Still Dream Of You
A haunting ambient feeling of being on a rollercoaster slowly taking you up to the crest, not sure what awaits. It feels like Matt Bullimore is channeling his inner Eno. The fragile intimacy of a recurring dream, the what-could-have-beens.
Takeda Lullaby
A delicate traditional Japanese "cradle song" that many other artists have covered. The song sits well with Yea-Ming and The Rumors, for this track, like others in this collection, is just as deceptive. We may not have the gift to interpret the lyrics, but the Burakumin, who traditionally sang the song, was an outcast community doing the jobs no one else would. The song is of a poor girl singing:
"This child keeps crying and it is unkind to me.
Every day, I grow thinner.
I would quickly quit here and go back.
To the other side (of the mountain), I can see my parents' house."
It is a fitting way to end a record so full of relationships, bringing it full circle with a lullaby to a poor baby sung by an outcast mother wanting to return home. Yea-Ming and The Rumors' may sing about harsh relationship realities and the grittier end of life, but this is not a pity party; this is a musically optimistic soundtrack to the complicated world we live in.
In the liner notes, Stefanie Kalem calls the record a "dystopian valentine," and it is, but it is also much more. Yea-Ming and The Rumors' So, Bird… needs no question mark; it deserves to fly.
Buy on vinyl if you can, but this soundscape sells, so be warned… "After selling out of the initial pressing a SECOND run is in the works and set to ship at the end of the summer!"

Spice warning in Grimsby as drivers told to watch out for 'zombies on roads'
Drivers warned to watch for Spice zombies stumbling into traffic
Peter CraigReporter
The problem with Spice in Grimsby is becoming so serious drivers have been warned to watch out for "zombie" users walking out in front of traffic or lying in the roads
An increasing number of incidents of Spice users collapsing in town have been reported, particularly in the Freeman Street area of the town. One was captured on video this week.
The drug, a dangerous high strength synthetic form of cannabis, leaves users like statues or trembling 'zombies' as they slip in and out of consciousness.
In March there was a national outcry over its widespread use on the streets of Manchester. People had been found collapsed in wheelie bins and in large flower pots in the city centre. Formerly a legal high it was outlawed but, because of its cheap cost, is widely available on the streets.
And in Grimsby, voluntary workers have told the Telegraph that children are even dealing the drug.
Martin Williams, street outreach worker at Harbour Place, said: "It could be any bus station or town centre in the country. We are seeing it more and more round here. It is growing concern.
"We have had kids as young as 13 years old selling it from their bicycles."
Shocking video shows Spice 'zombie' in Grimsby town centre
He said the charity had seen an increase in the number of homeless people in North East Lincolnshire taking the illegal substance.
Martin said: "It has got worse since so-called legal highs were made illegal.
"The kids that are selling it are cutting with other substances. Before you knew where people were going. But now it is on the black market and being cut. So a person smoking it won't know that it is twice as strong as the smoke they had before.
"It is harrowing for people to see when people are slumped in the street."
He added: "Very often it will make people violent."
Police tape off road after reports of fight outside Sainsbury's in Grimsby
Harbour Place project director, Dave Carlile said: "It is not a long-lasting high. But when you see someone under the influence it is difficult.
"They may be out of it for about 15 to 20 minutes. It is causing a lot of problems for police and ambulance services. They have to react because you can die from it. It is so unpredicatable.
"You have to ring the ambulance even though they are so stretched. Spice is just making it worse for the crews. People walking past don't know what to make of the situation.
"If we see anything like it we monitor it and call the ambulance."
He added: "It is worrying because people can be laid out in the road in front of on-coming cars. Or you can be driving along and someone staggers in front of you.
"Motorists need to take care," said Dave.

BLAKE NORTHCOTT
SYNAPSE corruption.exe by Blake Northcott in Heavy Metal #304
By Chace Thibodeaux on March 3, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )
Last September, Blake Northcott wrote a short story called Synapse which appeared in HEAVY METAL #300. I bought the issue just for that one story, and it was worth it. The story was planned as a one-off, so I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Blake had written a follow-up story which appears in this month's issue of Heavy Metal, #304. So of course I had to get this issue too!
Blake is once again joined by her previous collaborators, artist Giuseppe Cafaro and colorist Bryan Valenza for this 8-page story, it's not really a direct follow-up, in fact, you don't need to have read the previous story first. But it's set in the same futuristic Toronto, and the company Hexcorps. also features prominently in it. A woman has contacted a covert organization with vast resources to get revenge for her on her ex-husband who cheated on her. Using the internet and the help of an "auxiliary" of anonymous assistants, an ingenious plan is put into action that will systematically destroy the man's life beyond repair. But the price she pays for this task is much higher than just money.
Once again Blake manages to fill a novel's worth of story into just 8-pages, stories like this are where her knack for world-building shines through. And Cafaro and Valenza are the perfect artistic collaborators to bring this world to life. I was very satisfied. Chacebook rating: FIVE STARS
Of course, that's not the only story that appears in this issue. There are a few others that stood out to me, which I'll mention while I'm at it.
BACKUP is a 16-page story written by Hal Jay Green and drawn by Joel Ojeda about a woman stranded in space on a spaceship with only her small AI robot companion. It's a very touching story about loneliness and family.
Ron Marz writes a one-page story called STORY TIME, which gives us a new twist on Santa Claus and is drawn by Bart Sears.
A PERFECT PAST is a 6-page story written by Joshua Sky and drawn by Livio Ramondelli, about a man who wants to use technology to rewrite his painful memories. But should he?
Benton Jew writes and draws a 2-page story called VIRAL, which I can't really describe, except that it's based on a visual gag. But, trust me, it's clever
And FORGIVE US OUR SINS is a 6-page story written by Mark McCann and drawn by Boo Cook. I would classify this as a sci-fi horror story, taking place in a secret government lab where an experiment goes very wrong.
If you like exciting sci-fi stories with gorgeous artwork, check out Heavy Metal magazine #304.

Milestone Returns: Infinite Edition #0


Coventry boss Tony Mowbray says their goal shortage may have ended hopes of reaching the League One play-offs.
After losing 1-0 at home to relegation-threatened Colchester on Tuesday night, City are now eight points off the top six with just seven games left.
Mowbray is not happy with a goal total of only four in their last eight games.
"We want to get out of this division, but it doesn't look like it's going to be this year," 52-year-old Mowbray told BBC Coventry and Warwickshire.
"It's because of our inability to score goals at the moment, but we've got a lot of pride and we'll keep going."
Coventry made a strong start to the season and were top of the table at the end of November, but results have dropped away and a record of only three wins so far in 2016 has left City with an uphill battle to regain a top-six spot.
"It's frustrating and disappointing because it feels like it's petering out," added Mowbray. "The next two games against Gillingham and Wigan will have a spark about them and, if we don't have an edge we'll get found out. We haven't enough goals. One's never enough. If you don't score, obviously you're not going to win."
The Sky Blues should have 19-goal top scorer Adam Armstrong available for Saturday's tip to Gillingham after a two-game absence because of England Under-19 duty - but he is without a goal for the Sky Blues in six matches.

Artist Residency Programme
Arts Participation Course
Mentorship and Placement
Culture is a Human Right
28 April 2020 / Justine Foster/ Non classé
Stella Gilfert has been guest blog writer at Uillinn West Cork Arts Centre for April 2020. In her latest blog she interviewed the artists on the Arts for Health programme…
https://uillinnwestcorkartscentre.blogspot.com/2020/04/culture-is-human-right.html
The Arts for Health Partnership Programme, West Cork was first initiated in 2002 by Justine Foster, Programme Manager at West Cork Arts Centre, together with Pat O'Mahony and Shirley O'Shea from the Southern Health Board (HSE) as a pilot project to improve the quality of people's lives in community hospitals. Due to its huge success, it is now operating in eleven healthcare settings all over West Cork in rural Ireland and is also supported by Cork Education and Training Board and Cork County Council. The programme is offered to over 700 older people who reside in community hospitals or attend one of the day care facilities in the area. The main idea, bringing arts and culture to those who are usually deprived of it, is at the heart of the programme. After all, "arts and culture are a human right" says Justine Foster "as everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts" referring to Article 27 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights . A team of professional artists, including visual artists, musicians, poets, deliver the programme, collaborating closely with the healthcare professionals who work in the hospitals and day care centers. Together they are successfully facing the challenge of finding a balance between hospital regulations and creativity.
In a weekly Podcast, presenter Liz Clark, a musician on the Programme, talks about her role in the programme, the challenges the artists, partners and staff face in delivering the programme, and the benefits and outcomes of the programme for the people who participate. One issue that becomes apparent in the conversations, is the importance of social contact and the time needed to build relationships with the people taking part. Every participant has a unique history and different personal challenges to face. Working together therefore needs trust and reciprocal respect. Only then is the goal of meaningful creative engagement and the opportunity to access lifelong learning achievable.
But what happens if social contact is not possible any longer? Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, hospitals are closed to all but essential staff. The daycare centres cannot open at all. Not many of us can imagine what this must mean to older people dependent on the healthcare settings. While most people today have access to the internet, can use video calls to talk to family members or stay in contact via social media, some older people do not have these options and are now facing a time of isolation and loneliness, particularly with poor and unreliable broadband infrastructure in some parts of rural West Cork.
The current situation requires a lot of creativity and rethinking by the artists to keep the programme going – and how important that is need hardly be said. Of the first streamed session in Schull Community Hospital Roisin Walsh, Clinical Nurse Manager said, "It was fantastic, enjoyed by one and all including myself. Very hard but you (Liz) make it look easy." While Liz Clark is able to live stream her music sessions to a small group of residents on a large drop down screen, with residents watching meters apart, creating this much needed celebratory occasion is not always possible. Visual artist Sarah Ruttle describes her approach in facing this challenge, "Similar to the long-distance relationships and communication shared between families who have been separated by long distance of land or sea, the creative exchange, relationship and conversation built through the Arts for Health programme can continue, although in a different way. The significant challenge our healthcare staff and older people are facing at this moment are beyond our understanding. If our work of creative engagement can bring a glimpse of light to those we normally work with in our Community Hospital then it is incredibly important to me to do what I can."
The artists too are mindful of not bringing an extra workload to the hospital staff and management are taking an extremely well planned approach to the new level of infection control measures put in place. Sarah Ruttle is currently developing a new five week project to connect with the participants of the programme, without being there in person. Along with a series of pre recorded conversational workshops, Sarah is preparing packages for posting to be shared with residents isolating in their rooms, who know Sarah and are missing the sessions. "I count it a privilege to continue to share in a conversation with these participants and committed healthcare staff, for now, at our social distance", Sarah tells me.
Like Sarah, the other artists of the Arts for Health programme are developing their own creative solutions to overcome spatial and social distance. One big project that has been rethought in order to enable its delivery despite the COVID-19 regulations was initiated by Tess Leak and Sharon Wooley. They created a postal project called Museum of Song. What was originally planned as an on-site project, inspired by Drimoleague Singing Festival, is now taking place via social media and traditional mail. Sharon and Tess are now sending packages filled with poetry and songs to participants at St. Joseph's Unit, Bantry General Hospital and Dunmanway, Schull and Skibbereen Community Hospitals and with villagers from Drimoleague.
The participants are encouraged to respond to themes offered by the artists in their parcel. The first theme was 'The Songs of Our Mothers and Fathers'. Tess and Sharon are eagerly awaiting creative feedback from the participants, which will then be presented on the Arts for Health website. "this project is working out really well, it seems to move to fit each person's ability, a particular skill of Tess…Beauty and culture and connection awaits inside with poems, songs, pictures, beautifully presented with things to open admire and read…. This has created many hours of pondering and discussion in St.Josephs." describes Sarah Cairns, Activity Director, St. Joseph's Care of the Elderly Unit, Bantry General Hospital. Awaiting a lift in restrictions is a live outdoor singing performance by Camilla Greshiel hoped to take place in week five of the project, inspired by the singers on the balcony in Italy.
These projects are only a small sample of how creative work is still taking place in healthcare settings despite the restrictions caused by the global pandemic. All these creative solutions to our current situation, that we may well encounter again, gives us hope of overcoming it and emerging stronger from the crisis. To me, it is a comforting thought, that there are people like the artists from the Arts for Health programme, who do everything possible to ensure that older people are not forgotten or deprived of their human right of culture. After all, I hope to be old one day, too.
Stella Gilfert studied Fine Art at the Braunschweig University of Art, Germany and is currently completing a master's degree in art education. Her artwork has been exhibited at the Museum of Photography Braunschweig, the Artist Association Walkmühle Wiesbaden or the Ministry of Science and Culture Hannover in Germany.

Structural Safety of Railway Prestressed Concrete Sleepers
S Kaewunruen, A M Remennikov
Birmingham Centre for Railway Research and Education
This paper carries out the assessment of reliability indices or structural safety of railway prestressed concrete sleepers designed in accordance with Australian Standard AS1085.19. The current design approach of the prestressed concrete sleeper relies on the permissible stresses over cross-sectional area. Loading condition acting on railway sleepers is considered from axle burden and dynamic amplification factor. On the basis of Australian design of railway prestressed concrete sleepers, only service limit states are considered; however, the design challenge is to provide adequate resistance of certain cross sections to both positive and negative bending moments. In this paper, the service limit states functions are formulated taking into account the permissible compressive and tensile stresses at both initial and final stages, and applied positive and negative bending moments at railseat and middle sections. Random variables in the reliability analysis include railway track design parameters, axle load, material and geometrical properties, prestressing force and its losses, and model uncertainties regarded to the structural resistance and load effects. Statistical properties of related parameters are adopted from previous studies. Two analysis methods are used: firstorder moment reliability method (FORM) and second-order moment reliability method (SORM). Sensitivity analyses of the reliability indices for flexural capacity according to the requirements of the limit states functions are also investigated in order to evaluate the major influences of dynamic load factors, strengths of materials, track parameters and model uncertainties.

The current design approach of the prestressed concrete sleeper relies on the permissible stresses over cross-sectional area. Loading condition acting on railway sleepers is considered from axle burden and dynamic amplification factor. On the basis of Australian design of railway prestressed concrete sleepers, only service limit states are considered; however, the design challenge is to provide adequate resistance of certain cross sections to both positive and negative bending moments. In this paper, the service limit states functions are formulated taking into account the permissible compressive and tensile stresses at both initial and final stages, and applied positive and negative bending moments at railseat and middle sections. Random variables in the reliability analysis include railway track design parameters, axle load, material and geometrical properties, prestressing force and its losses, and model uncertainties regarded to the structural resistance and load effects. Statistical properties of related parameters are adopted from previous studies. Two analysis methods are used: firstorder moment reliability method (FORM) and second-order moment reliability method (SORM). Sensitivity analyses of the reliability indices for flexural capacity according to the requirements of the limit states functions are also investigated in order to evaluate the major influences of dynamic load factors, strengths of materials, track parameters and model uncertainties.

Kids, oh kids, we love them right? But sometimes they do some of the craziest things that only their little brains can fully understand. Having a conversation with a toddler can be quite hilarious. These below photos will prove just how hilarious kids can be and why some of them are cry babies.
Oh man, that is the worst.
Ah, just let him get one.
Poor little guy, just let go of his pants already.
She is very concerned about that turtle.
That's the worst thing you can ever do, I guess.
And every little girl cries over that.
But it's so tasty mom.
These kids have hilarious personalities, but we all know a kid in our lives that would cry over the same silly thing too.
What's the funniest reason that your kid has thrown a temper tantrum? Let us know in the comments below.

Must Do Things Around Greater Houston
5 Must Do Things in Brenham

In our Must Do Neighborhood series, we take look at Houston's vast array of neighborhoods to bring you five fun, tasty, and enticing reasons you should give each a visit. Originally published in 2016, we are now refreshing, updating, and adding to this series, including new neighborhoods and destinations.
This time, we're taking a day trip to Brenham, which sits around 75 miles northwest of the heart of Downtown. The friendly city is known for its seasonal bluebonnets and German heritage, hosting an annual Maifest celebrating spring each May. But those are not the only reason to visit this charming part of Texas. There are stellar barbecue joints, the Lone Star's favorite ice cream and more.
Fill up on true Texas barbecue at Truth Barbeque – See why Truth Barbeque was named one of "The 10 Best BBQ Joints" in Texas by the venerable Texas Monthly (hint: its intensely meaty brisket, slightly sweet ribs, and ridiculously good sides like bacon-crumbled mac and cheese and buttery corn pudding). Though it's only been around since 2015, Leonard Botello IV's spot has become a fast favorite; and as luck would have it, the Houston native opened up a second location in Houston off Washington Ave. Click here for directions to the Brenham location, which is open Saturday and Sunday from 11am 'til they sell out.
Experience the arts – Catch live theatrical performances at Unity Theatre Brenham, set in a beautiful renovated warehouse in Brenham's Downtown; look out for a lineup of events, from concerts to movie nights, at the The Barnhill Center in the historic Simon Theatre; or peruse local art. Located in a beautifully-restored building, the Downtown Art Gallery showcases the works of over 50 artists, from bluebonnet paintings and photographs to sculptures and jewelry; and the Back Lot Gallery offers individual exhibits from a lineup of up-and-coming artists over off South Park.
Get a taste of nostalgia – Take a step into the past on a Brenham historical tour, stopping in sites like the Brenham Heritage Museum and the historic cisterns of Toubin Park; stay at the Ant Street Inn, which rocks antique furnishings, vintage rugs and stained glass; see the Flying Horses Antique Carousel, the oldest classic wood carousels in Texas; indulge in old-fashioned Southern pecan pie at Must Be Heaven; shop for antiques at Today and Yesterday; or stop by gift and collectibles shop Glissman's Gift Gallery, located in an 1860s two-story masonry building in downtown. Once a buggy repair shop, the building once used a rope and cable system as an elevator, which you can still get a glimpse of if you peek upstairs. At Ballad of the Birddog on West Alamo in downtown, you'll uncover a curated selection of leather goods, jewelry, apparel, and other items for the home. Plus, you can even get a shave and haircut at a by-appointment barbershop in the back of the store.
Unwind with a drink – Those looking for a fun time can enjoy live music and Texas craft brews at Home Sweet Farm, a farmers market that doubles as a biergarten and music venue set in historic downtown. Brew fans can also check out the taproom and patio at independent craft brewing company Brazos Valley Brewery, open Wednesday through Sunday; while winos will love Pleasant Hill Winery, which offers weekend tours and tastings (plus a wine and gift shop), and Windy Winery, a working vineyard with a tasting room open Friday to Sunday and by appointment only during the week.
Get a scoop at Blue Bell Creameries – A trip to Brenham wouldn't be complete without visiting everyone's favorite "little creamery" of Texas, which opened its doors in 1907. The country store and ice cream parlor are open Monday through Saturday, while the visitor center is weekdays only, 8am to 5pm. Click here for directions.

State Auditor Lawsuit
IT'S BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS
SINCE AUDITOR NICOLE GALLOWAY HAS REFUSED TO PRODUCE HER GOVERNMENT TEXT MESSAGES AND EMAILS TO TAXPAYERS
VIEW THE TIMELINE
Auditor Nicole Galloway has staunchly refused to produce the majority of documents which are to be released to the public upon request - including information from her government cellular phone.
As a result of Auditor Galloway's refusal to produce the documents required of her to release by law, Missouri Alliance for Freedom filed a lawsuit demanding full production of documents.
In effort to keep Missouri taxpayers appraised of the request, responses by the Auditor's office and legal documents, we have uploaded all information for public viewing:

Several days ago at Agodi Gardens, I moderated an interactive session organised by the Think Oyo Initiative (read my interview with the coordinator of the initiative here) to give citizens of the state, especially youths, an opportunity to advise the governor, Abiola Ajimobi, who recently got a second term in office on what to focus on.
One thing I found out at the interactive session is the fact that I'm not the only one who is not satisfied with the spate of violation of environmental laws in the state. We argued extensively on how people are dumping refuse in the middle of the road, creating an unattractive aesthetic value in the city.
Someone asked the government to be more affirmative and transparent in proposing and enforcing its environmental laws and policies. An interesting pronouncement was that the state government cannot continue to foot the bills of picking up refuse. I look forward to when people will be asked to start paying in the core areas of the city.
The numerous stories people shared on the issue of health were sadly appalling. Many people have died (and continue to die) in Oyo state due to shortcomings at the primary healthcare level and this is why the government is being enjoined to focus majorly on improving primary healthcare system.
It is because the primary healthcare centers are underperforming that the University College Hospital (UCH) Ibadan which I've covered extensively on IBPulse.com is providing more of primary healthcare services than it is supposed to be.
The governor was advised to aggressively pursue a complete overhaul of the education system especially the primary and secondary schools. They need furniture, furnishing, qualified teachers, classrooms, policies and discipline. I called the attention of the governor's rep to the awful performance of Oyo state students in WAEC exams. Last year for instance, the state recorded the worst result in the southwest region with only 19% had 5 credits and above including English and Mathematics. Oyo state came 24th out of 36 states and FCT.
I asked whether the state can continue to sustain free education. Last year, WAEC delayed the results of candidates from Oyo state because the government did not pay the examination fees on time.
We also spoke on security, business, jobs, shop owners in the state, Agbowo Shopping Complex, and several other topics. I wanted to also advise the governor to organise mass weddings for singles in the state but it was getting dark so we couldn't discuss that topic.
The event was also attended by Dipo Famakinwa, Director General of DAWN Commission. He enjoined the organizers to come up with a very concise and precise straightforward document to marshal the points raised and to tell the governor how to go about achieving what we asked him to do.
We ate, drank and took pictures. Check some of them out below.
Bravo!!! The youth are a great pool of resources that the amiable governor should leverage… We look forward to this sessions coming more often and then the innovated insight actually gets implemented.


When you buy the kit do you have options for anything?
Meaning does it comes with EA Transformers, or an option to upgrade any electronic component?
if it does or doesn't, is it worth it or a lot more $ needed?
If you haven't already, I suggest you sign up at groupdiy.com. There is lively and ongoing discussion over there on the 1176 and a bunch of other DIY projects.
Finished up a Rev A. This thing sounds great!
I built 2 REV D units and a REV A and totally love em.. I got the stereo link kit for my REV Ds but a flood last month has postponed electronics work for now as I am having to drywall my whole studio..
Hey, i might have asked this before - but did any of you guys order the LED meter/light? My rev A was done by a buddy, and my meter light has a 50hz flicker to it bugs me, especially when i catch it in my peripheral vision.
He's doing a Rev D now, does anyone know how to avoid this? Where can the meter easily be powered from? I could pass the info onto him on the Rev D!
Hopefully you fair well. This thing looks like its going to be rough.
So yours uses an LED version or not?
I run my (non LED) meters right off the secondaries without probs.
I dont have experience with LEDs on those kits but i know you would want to grab DC for them, not AC. If its not too late, maybe you can exchange the LED meter?
Just a guess...the flickering LED could mean too large of a dropping resistor to properly voltage the lamp, meaning it may be running at too low a voltage. You can easily check this by measuring the voltage across the lamp. My Hairball light does not flicker.
Quick resistor guide 6v = 330R, 9v = 680R, 12v = 1k, 15v = 1.2k, 18v = 1.5k, 24v = 2.2k. 1/4w or 1/2w types are fine.
"not sure where they are getting a +/- 12vdc rail from?"
Where are you getting the power for the LED from?
You would have to tap the the 30 volt DC power supply resistor R87 at the +30 test point. Leave the 1.1k 1 watt resistor leg long enough under the board to connect a wire. Wire from the DC power supply test point resistor to the led. Between the led, and wire from the +30 test point. Add a voltage dropping resistor like 2.7k 1/2 watt to the + terminal of the led. Make sure to put shrink wrap on all points.
I've been building and selling gear to friends and associates for a few years now.
I don't do this for a living but LOVE doing it - I've done four LA-2A's, one EPQ-1A, I'm up to 20+ Hairball 1176 units (A,D, F).
I have a Drip Fairchild 670 in the works as well.
If you want a trusted, reliable and experienced guy to help you with a project please let me know.
I just built a single A version and two D versions and all three both work perfectly and sound great. There were a few bumps in the road especially when it came to calibration. I thought I'd post some notes to help anybody having problems.
(1) The MNATS calibration video was confusing because it shows a different control panel then on the hairball, and the MNATS video talks about shorting pad 22 internally to ground with an alligator clip when this is not necessary on the Hairball because that is what the CCW Off switch on the Attack control does. Once I figured this out, things started moving again.
(2) It's important to understand that each of the calibration steps addresses setting a single internal trim pot. Once the pot is set, don't change it, especially in a later calibration step, or you will have to start calibrating all over. Here's the general lay of which pot is set in which step.
- Calibration Step #1 - R59, Q Bias pot.
- Calibration Step #2 - R75, Null adjust pot.
- Calibration Step #3 - R44, Gain reduction metering cal pot.
(3) For the D version, I found it necessary to first calibrate R86, being the distortion adjust trim pot in the input preamp section, before anything else, because without it being set properly, one of my units could not be properly Q Biased and had terrible distortion. I initially thought my compressor was blown but instead it was an R86 calibration problem. Hairball says you do this as step #4, but that didn't work for me. I needed to do it as step #1. R86 is a 100 trim pot and should be set initially to exactly 50 ohms, meaning exactly in center.
(4) The MNATS Q Bias instructions were confusing because of control panel differences. Instead I suggest you use the instructions on this page from Hairball I found using google.
Note that you must first crank the trim pot all the way CCW, and then turn it CW until the voltage specified in the instructions starts to drop. This will take quite a few CW turns to get to that point and at first it will appear that the pot does nothing. Just keep cranking and the voltage will eventually drop.
(5) Once the Q Bias pot is set, your compressor will work and should then be fully tested with a preamp and a microphone connected to make sure that the attack and release, as well as all the other functions work. The meter readings will be inaccurate, but that will be corrected in later calibration steps. Do not proceed until you are satisfied everything works. If it doesn't, then you have a wiring or circuit problem somewhere that will need to be fixed.
(6) For "Calibration Step #2" both the MNATS and HB ways work. In fact they more or less describe the same process. Look at both sets of instructions until you understand them and then figure out what is needed.
- Connect a DMM to the XLR input.
- Apply a 1khz .775VAC signal to the XLR input. The input DMM should read .775VAC.
- Set the Attack control fully CW.
- Connect a DMM to the XLR output.
- Set the OUTPUT control so that the XLR output DMM reads .775VAC, being the same voltage as on the XLR input.
- Turn the Attack fully CCW and engage the OFF switch.
- Set the INPUT control to read 2.44VAC on the XLR output DMM.
- Set the Attack control fully CCW, turning the switch to OFF, and adjust the meter zero pot on the front panel to show 0dBu on the meter.
- Then turn the Attack fully CW, turning the switch to ON, and adjust the R44 until the meter reads -10dBu.
- Repeat these last two steps over and over again until R44 keeps the meter at minus 10dBu when switch is ON, and the Meter returns to 0dBu when the switch is OFF.
-- I recommend that you do away with the cheap Xicon resistors on the BOM and instead source better resistors that have the resistance value written on the side of the resistor in plain English. That way you can easily match up the resistors values on your board with a picture of an unpopulated board in case you think you placed a resistor in the wrong position. Xicon resistors sound OK, but I find the color coding near impossible to read due to the glazzing on the resistor. I mostly used a combination of PRP and Dale metal film resistors, which are known to sound excellent.
-- To reduce noise I threw out all of the carbon film resistors on the original BOM and replaced them with high quality metal film resistors. They cost a few dollars more, but the reduction in noise is worth it. And to reduce noise further, I used an Alps conductive plastic output pot.
-- For most electrolytic caps, I used Panasonic FR series caps primarily because of their high reliability and long life, as well as their great sound. On my A version build, I used a significant number of blackgate caps, just because I had a bunch of new ones laying around here. They likewise sound great.
-- I tossed the cheap disk ceramic caps on the original BOM that I received from Mouser and put in more expensive and better sounding multilayer ceramics.
-- For film coupling caps, I used Sprague 225P mylars, which sound surprisingly good. I then tried bypassing them with fast polypropylene caps thinking that it would improve the sound and performance. It did not work as anticipated, and made the 1176 sound sterile. I then removed the bypasses and got nice thick sound again. I really like the way 225Ps sound. The exception being that I used a high quality polypropylene 1uf cap as the input coupling cap on my D versions to give them a little more clarity. My A version uses a 225P as the input cap and sounds good as well, giving it a bit more vintage mylar mojo.
-- I used shielded Mogami Star Quad mic cable throughout. It's overkill but it looks good and also has a very sturdy feel to it.
That's it. They sound great! Good luck building yours.
Just wanted to jump in here with a pimp for team at Hairball. The lengths they are willing to go to help out someone putting together a kit is incredible.
If you are on the fence on one of these kits, rest assured that the Hairball kit is super solid, has great instructions and is backed by people willing to help out if you get stuck or confused.
Or does anyone in the UK know the total price, shipped and duty paid?
Has anyone tried doing the orange cap mod to their REV D? I'm curious as to how it sounds.
Just built me second kit.
Choose a the REV D this time. Before I did the Rev A.
Was very surprised how much easier the folks at Hairball mad it to build these kits.
Before It took me a month and half to build my REV A (mainly spending time on doing the wiring), but now you don't even have to wire anything.
Probably going to get a second REV D for linking.
i owned and used a genuine blue stripe for over 12 years every day.
the Low noise mods that came later were introduced for a reason.
the bluey had a sound, but it didn't work well for really clean sources.
thats why i sold it.
