When Does A Normal Period Start

IT / Dedicated / HTC Advantage


I finally decided for the Advantage!

The decision to take was in the air since the MobilePro "lost use" of the keyboard, retiring into a dignified retirement system as a backup.

I have long hoped that the shift was a better alternative, but after seeing the final specifications, I resigned to the idea of \u200b\u200bthe palm "classic."
The screen is, after all, a bit small, and the low resolution, but it remains the only PDA that responds to the movement in my "specific"
-
long range - suitable for screen navigation
- keyboard
- UMTS and WiFi connectivity
The Advantage in more has Bluetooth, GPS and an 8 GB hard

Can U Get Braces With Gum Disease

Audio / DIY / Speakers / QNPS-2 - Design: crossover

The "philosophy" NPS would require an infinite number of ways, each connected to the cluster of speakers of different geometry.
addition to the problems of cost, complexity, et c., there are actually several practical limitations.
First of all, above 5 KHz wavelengths are hardly "representative", however, with transducers that have dimensions several centimeters.
Secondly, at low frequencies, the wavelengths become enormous, but not insignificant in terms of NPS (it is very difficult to "locate" a source at these frequencies).
is also good practice to make the streets so as to cover at least two octaves, this is to simplify the management of the crossings, both to try to limit the emission of harmonics of the same key from different transducers (a problem also inherent to the diffuser multi-way).
Taking this into account, the maximum would produce a five-way with the following frequencies: 80, 320, 1k25, 5k, corresponding to the wavelength "core" of 8.5 m, 2.1, 0.51 , 0.13, 0034. With
frequencies so close you should definitely play a bit with the cutting slopes.
One possibility would be to adopt a Rane AC 23B, which allows five-way mono, and various slopes.

Why Does My Dog's Prostate Swell

Audio / DIY / Speakers / QNPS-2 - The project: structure and geometry

The structure is conditioned by:
- the "needs" of the various transducers in terms of a dipole panel
- NPS geometry, where feasible
- the shape of the panel to minimize risonnaze, diffraction et c.

- Tweeter: given the projected range, whatever the shape of the panel, this would be "seen" by the transducer as a virtually infinite level (relative to the wavelength). Potential effects of diffraction concern insignificant fraction of signal due to the high directivity, I do not think there are particular effects on the overall geometry, apart from the usual adroitness pairing "flat" to the panel.

- mid-high: that is what we saw for the tweeter, subject to any care to a minimum of fitting on the edges of the panels. Given the wavelengths involved siorienterebbe us to a single transducer, ideally, a ribbon of about 10 cm.

- mid-range, the expected distance (two feet) does not present any particular restrictions on the structure. Are probably still present diffraction effects: wanting them to consider the lowest frequency (320 Hz), should be rounded ends with a radius of at least 1 / 8 of a wavelength that is longer than 10 cm!
This is probably the most critical project.

-woofer: cutting back on a regular five-way speakers should cover from 80 to 320 Hz, with a distance of about 2.1 m. The problem is that a dipole classic (albeit with wings) would be very bulky in width to 80 Hz (about 1.3 m) and then you should use some variant of H-frame.
An interesting alternative would be to exploit the presence of the sub-woofer to limit the bandwidth to about 160 Hz, the frequency at which you could still make a dipole efficiently without extra unsightly structures. Nothing prevents naturally compensate instead the roll-off "brute force", especially considering the good results in this sense of QNPS-2.
The problem may be rather to allocate part of the band "voice" to the sub-woofer, with completely different shapes and colorings from the woofer. In addition, a band so important to one eighth compressed may cause the critical calibration. It may then be paying a corresponding "slip" up one eighth of all the higher cutoff frequencies.
Initial size of the panel for a cutoff frequency of 160 Hz, perhaps with a very steep slope, then reserving the right to lower it to the extent allowed by the DSP correction. All this would naturally strong
implications on the whole, would drop the assumption that the "cut-up" to about 1.5 m, freeing up space for the vertical sub-woofer, electronics and reducing the overall development required.


sub-woofer: common ground that would be a single cone, and that should be placed at the bottom (to qualify for the "reflection" of the floor) it would seem a more rational version of the "Ripoli. This would fix the speaker down by limiting the overall size and allowing the positioning of the woofer below.
From a structural standpoint is to realize the subwoofer as a base (perhaps independent) on which to mount the panel.
The geometry must be such as to the issue of frequencies up to 300 Hz in order to take account of "smearing" in the cross-over, and the possibility of having to use the loudspeaker above the frequency "sub" classic.

Symptoms Of A Nymphomaniac

Audio / DIY / Speakers / QNPS-2 - The project: transducers

The choice of the transducers is presented simplified compared to QNPS-1, because the way they barely cover two octaves each.

Tweeter: Having a successful outcome would confirm the BG Neo3PDR

Mid-High: A good match with the Neo3 is definitely the Neo8: same "tone" and very linear response range assumed (1K2 ~ 5K). In addition, the size of the transducer is the same size of the wavelengths involved. Mid

: the possibility for the midrange are many, given the rather low bandwidth request (315 ~ 1250). The alternatives are currently:

TB W4-1337S (an overkill at this point, if they are still available)
TB W4-639SE (4 ", 8 Ohm, 6 g)
Morel MW 114-S (4" 8 Ohm, 7g, Neodymium)

Woofer: Having failed to confirm the excellent Peerless SLS12

Sub: for divers could recover the initial idea for the woofers QNPS-1: The 385 Dayton IB 15 ". Even at these frequencies because the NPS does not make much sense, and then you could use only one speaker. In this case you should probably put a couple of bridgre mono, because unfortunately it is only available in 8 ohms., but if you want adopt a push pull "the Linkwitz" the 15 "would be a little too oversized, and as such powers would return to space and 12", perhaps with greater excursion (type Peerless XLS12)

Star Personalized Chapstick

Audio / DIY / Speakers / QNPS-2 - The project: The amplifier


, 99 % of commercial amplifiers are based substantially on the final push-pull class AB.
It 's a clean and efficient circuit, with an infinite number of possible variants.
Improving the quality of the signal (and its management in critical situations) over this "standard" is not easy, whatever one may say the various supporters of this or that technology more or less esoteric, if only for the tried and tested project in thousands of versions and millions (!) of specimens.

Among the technologies that I find interesting are:

- tube amps
Personally I find the differences are so evident in the sound "tube", but I did a few tests of listening environments certainly not appropriate (Fairs et c.) . In theory, solid state devices can emulate the curves of the valves (MOSFET), but surely there are many other parameters that can influence. Certainly they have many disadvantages "practical", including three fatal to the application in the project: the dimensions of valves and output transformers, the need for high-voltage power (difficult to integrate into the structure) and the low power ( the QNPS-1 have been shown to require a hundred watts, at least for the woofer).
.
- Class A amplifiers
A single set of class A would certainly be tempting, especially considering that the power should be distributed in five different modules. The problems are twofold: the difficulty of finding modules (at a reasonable cost) of the power required (the Marantz, in fact, remain in class until about ten watts) and the frightening amount of heat they emit. Even if
to tolerate the "stove" result, it is rather difficult to integrate efficiently the monstrous heat sinks needed.

- class D amplifiers
The so-called class D amplifiers have characteristics very interesting circuit, as well as being compact, require little space for the radiators, due to their high efficiency.
can drive low impedance loads and are available in various configurations and power.
Despite the initial suspicion, they're conquering vast legions of audiophiles, attracted by the simplicity of the project (the end is just a chip) and the supposed cost-effectiveness. On the latter there would be no objection to my Marantz PM7200 have cost much less than a kit Hypex, considering power, chassis, connectors, et c.
The only real problem is that they are essentially closed boxes: beautiful dell'autocostruzione ends, where the aim is true to "understand" at the bottom of what is built.

- amplifiers without back-action
Qulche time ago I had a little chat with Roberto Delle Curti, great guru of the philosophy of "counter-counter-reaction."
Technically, the speech seems to me perfectly, even if it is (for me) difficult to assess the effects on sound quality (lack of) counter-reaction.
is even more difficult for me to understand how a circuit "completely" with no counter-reaction (especially solid state) can be stable.
In fact, these amps are made with excellent results. Then it depends on the counter-reaction or extreme quality of the project, components and assembly, is always questionable.
A middle way, which certainly abhor Roberto, would be to manage the portion of the signal in a "conventional" (operational, back-action et c.), and the power modules without feedback. The idea is that the delay introduced in the chain reaction, and the "reaction" by the inductive components are most critical in the power, connected to the speakers.

I have discarded long this last possibility, because apart from a few "high-end" (unpronounceable costs and the usual rhetoric of the gold wire "low noise "...), there were no products to dell'autocostruttore flow.
Lately however I discovered that there are long forms of the LC Audio (see the Danish case ...), the Millennium XP (formerly The End), to test production.
These modules are available in mono many different configurations, reasonably efficient, and feature as an option (thanks to them ...) of a loop, DC servo concession to function at low frequencies.
The documentation is very good for once, and it shows that the product is designed for the amateur market (available schemes, bulk components et c.).
costs are certainly not those of the business models of the series, but not stratospheric.

So I think the initial size of the project based on these components.

Low Back Pain While Taking Mucinex

Audio / DIY / Speakers / QNPS-2 - The project


During the implementation of QNPS-1, besides me a bit of practical experience, I began to think about the possible evolution of the project.

I would say that the developments could go in two directions:

a) improving the design specifications and

b) solve the problems / constraints encountered in the first implementation


With regard to the specific possible developments are currently as follows:

- integration of electronics in the speaker. This greatly simplify the wiring harness, and would reduce the uncertainties related to Qt at low frequencies.

- replacement of commercial amplifiers with single high-quality (Class A? Class D? Tubes? Open end?). This, in addition to (perhaps) improve the sound, would ensure a consistent baseline across all channels, and simplify the integration of the above.
.
- increasing the streets. Without risking too much with crossover cross-over, you might groped a five-way (two octaves per band): Sub, Woofer, Mid, Mid-High, Tweeter. This would improve the spatial accuracy according to the NPS.

- managing the effects of diffraction. Size allowing you might think of a geometry that improves the situation, at least on average.

Regarding the current limitations, surely there could be improvements in the following areas:
.
- simplifying the assembly. The sequence of assembly should be designed at the table, so that you can paste pieces of this size by yourself ripetto the tolerances set.
.
- panel-interface structure. If you keep the current geometry, the system is now designed to mount the panel "simple dipole" structure "H-frame dipole.
.
- to improve the finish. The tubing should be trapped without curbs and exposed components must be painted before final assembly.
For the moment I decide to split the posts made in various parts of the project:
- structure and geometry
- transducers
- cross-over
- amplifier

Audio / DIY / Electronics - Contactor


Very
embedded systems often have a control bus that allows you to make stand-by all devices with a single control.
In my case, it is a nice convenience: my equipment because they are scattered around the room, and certainly send a signal stand-by is a rational approach to rewire the entire system electric!
Unfortunately this is only possible with equipment ready: for others to do is connect to the outlets controlled. In systems
cheapest outlets are fed back power the device, while in some refinements are controlled via stand-by function, as in the case of my Marantz. The problem of controlled
taken, however, is the load that they are able to endure: it is usually very low, and given the ideas that are able to generate megacondensatori of high-fidelity, is not a problem recently.
To give one example, the Marantz PM7200 100 W total on the statement just made. To resolve
the problem I thought I'd take a small contactor: a simple normally open relay controlled by a coil 220.
In this way the absorption on the tricks is limited to coil excitation current, which is absolutely ridiculous.
I assumed that there was already a ready-made ciabatta bread, and yet in the end I had to make it to me ... as usual!
In practice I had to assemble in a small box control the contactor and an outlet, connected to the first "control signal" (the output of 220V outlets subsidiaries), and the second power through the relay.
All for a cost of about € 30.
for the "savings stupid" I took the relay cheaper (20A, 4500 W. ..), without noticing that just was markedly more expensive "quiet" ... and now I understand why!
power-CLACK is a BUMP that added to the woofer is a danger that is about to explode all ...
Anyway it works well, plus introducing a small delay in the start-up sequence, which never hurts.

Can I Use A Tinted Motorcycle Helmet At Night?

Audio / DIY / Electronics - Volume


One problem that I think sooner or later all the DIY meet is that, seemingly trivial, to control the volume.
When you start a chain of connected devices of various types, each of these "wants" at a "certain" signal for which the benefits noise, impedance et c. are "optimal".
Usually problems are of three types:
a) the signal is too weak (in some part of the chain) and the signal to noise ratio degrades
b) the S / N ratio is good in analog, but since the signal is All Time Low is sampled with a low resolution digital
c) the signal is too strong (the worst situation ever, because the electronics saturates very distorting the sound).
must say that once the situation was much worse, because of the variety of different sources (phono. ..), so it was essential to have a pre-amp can "normalize" the signal (voltage, impedance, spectrum ...) without degrading too.
now many sources are digital, and above all the outputs are more standardized, as well as having very little problems almost always impedances (and in the case of digital signals, irrelevant).
levels of CD, for example, in addition to having a dynamic range of intrinsically pre-defined, almost all are standard on the highest peak. Of course there are exceptions: for example CD Muse strangely always peaks of about ten dB above the standard ...

However, some come to build multiple potentiometers (motorized and calibration procedures "micrometer" ..) in order to vary the final volume of intervening (In a different way) on all the various gains in the chain.
In my case the problems are two: the drive balanced / unbalanced (ART Cleanbox) above the final, and DSP (Behringer DEQ2496).
In the first case, I discovered that for the same output, varying in one direction or the gain compared to an average value, the noise increases significantly. This unfortunately is a typical behavior of the op (it's noticeable even on the end), but I did not think he could "feel".
In the second case, hearing music at low volume, my feeling is that the DSP works badly (a duller sound) I have verified this several times easier thanks to a control that allows easy to vary the input signal (and equally out) on the DEQ, with the same volume.
So I have a problem of dynamics, especially because I like to hear rock music at high volume (or maybe a little dull ...), while my wife feels more classical music at low volume.

Salmon Patties Without Eggs Or Mayonaisse

Computers / Hardware - MomoDesign MD-@


After much hesitation, and tests with other modems to test for the presence of the UMTS service, I decided to take this memory stick to connect from home (ADSL is not available in my area).

Although the signal is weak (the sw that came back between 30 and 50% of the signal), the connection is very stable and, to my great surprise, already in high speed (HSDPA).

How sad now customary documentation is completely lacking. Apart from the usual Italian "unlikely" to have an idea of \u200b\u200bthe meaning of the lights had to go hunting on the various forums (for the record, D = Date, G = GSM / GPRS, WCDMA = W). The tab with the statistics of the current month and previous month are reversed, et c. et c.
Even the seller said of the THREE is unable to give me any technical information.

Very comfortable on the idea of \u200b\u200bdriver memory of the pen, although in fact the installation was a little cumbersome.

The sw management for a change, not content to add a normal connection, installs the drivers but "parallel", so you're forced to run an executable and connect manually, also if you close the program should be re-made plug & play pen . If the phone companies (the modem is distributed through subscriptions TRE) really think you are doing to retain these games, we're fresh.

Technically, however, an excellent product.

Motorcycling - Mauro has fallen!


Mauro, said Fermon, fell on the hundred curves.
Mauro is one of the founders of the community MotoFermoni, a friendly congregation that gathers often to make trips.
recently had "re-discovered" super-motard and have fun with a beautiful KTM. A nice guy and generous.
is now in intensive care at Terni, in a coma with serious injuries.
I went out with him sometimes, and also on the hundred curves. It 's definitely a smart rider, and certainly not reckless.
The problem is that being "not reckless" now no longer enough.
Now I realize it's been a while that does not go out with them because I have to keep their rates erode margins that normally keep all. This is despite the participants are really people in place and without suicidal (or murder).
course, my limits are very lowest of them (many are young guys with sports on the track). But every time I asked what they would do if a dog had cut the road, I had the classic look of the motorcycle, among the superstitious and unbelieving, "but to me you play fast?"
I hope to see you soon in the saddle.

Stores Tat Have Lay Away

Motorcycling - Massimo has fallen!

Maximus, a colleague of mine "Scooter" has had another incidente.Dopo having spent a long period between life and death (coma), went back to the bike.
This time if it "escaped" with broken ribs, dislocated shoulder, sprained ankle ...
I hope it falls in the tiny slice of the probability of the "inevitability" and that the previous incident has done to change driving style ... although it seems that the machine has "turned right", which makes me fear that he was in turn overtaking on the right.
seems the accident at the intersection, hit by a car, ask for details just feels better.
From what he reported his wife, and given the wounds, probably with protective clothing have reduced much of the damage: it seems that he was in his shirt sleeves.

Motorcycle Accessories / Clothing / Gloves - Dainese Jerico



My gloves synthetic intermediate inpermeabili are fully and reasonably protective.
The inside is fleece: a cold is extremely pleasing on the skin, but if you tend to sweat a little "stick" and become uncomfortable to wear and remove.
In fact they are so hot they often prefer those heavy, although they are very tight and it is practically impossible for under-fitted over the gloves.

As always I have the problem of the palm is too "right", having chosen the optimal size based on the length of the fingers.

In addition, it is completely synthetic, do not show to adapt after a full winter season are quite elastic and flexible, but do not yield even a cannon!

Names For The Jelly Bracelets

Motorcycle Accessories / Clothing / Gloves - Dainese Motorcycle Dual



My leather gloves, "walking" ...

clear: they are extremely technical, with protections et c.

But like all racing gloves are very lightweight and flexible, and therefore surely little protection against the cold and rain.

guards are rigid, carbon: those on the back does not feel, but those on the fingers actually stiffen some joints.

In my case, the pressure of a small plate on the knuckle of the ring, it gives me a little annoyed when a fist.

Then there is the usual problem: since the hands are never identical, as is the relationship between the palm and fingers, if a glove you're well the other you are "right" and vice versa. For example, these gloves are perfect for me on the left and a bit tight (the palm) on the right.

Usually I get it "better than they are wide narrow" (How much does the opposite of that used for gloves "civilians") because for me it is imperative that they are not loose at the ends of the fingers.

These gloves are to replace my old Evolution team (Dainese), which were soft, maybe too much ... last scivolatina were torn, but in reality was just the skin now consumed.

Yes, admit it: I am a fetishist in gloves made of!
The nice thing is that my ideal is to drive without gloves: the maximum sensitivity and libido.
But you can not ... the slightest slip you sandpaper the whole hand, if not worse.
In winter without a minimum level of protection you immediately lose your sensitivity.
The advantages of the gloves are therefore denied.

The disadvantages, as far as I'm concerned, are:
- total loss of sensitivity (more or less directly in proportion with the thickness of the fingers)
- tingling in the fingertips
- strength / resistance in the closed fist
- difficulty Interfacing with the jacket
- Interference of the seams on points with the levers
- a other gadget to buy, to wear, to be placed ...

I have given one rule: wear a glove "minimum" for the circumstances: This course requires an endless collection of models ....

The range is more or less this:
- automotive-style leather glove: useless and dangerous
- rubber gloves (pretty much useless, except perhaps in a monsoon ...)
- leather glove more or less technical
- lightweight synthetic glove (waterproof)
- intermediate synthetic glove (waterproof)
- heavy synthetic glove (waterproof)

Producers then recommend various types of in-glove: silk, cotton, fleece ...
in the middle of winter I often try to use them as a second barrier, but give me much trouble: they tend to slide into the glove (which is in itself pleasant, stationary), removing a lot of sensitivity.

Deep in the North are very mittens, gloves without fingers, permanently attached to the handlebars. I never tried but should be hot. It leaves me a bit perplexed the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing tied to the bike: If I make a sudden maneuver?

Then there are the heated grips, which in theory should reduce the need for some heavy gloves, but that's another story ....

Best Place To Get Bikini Wax Ottawa

Motorsports / Maintenance / Tires - Stir or mix ...


During the "test K1 + K2" (see other post) I started mulling over what features should have a rubber based on usage, beyond the publicity of the case and advice (more or less interested) of your tire .

do not know if you've ever: choose the latest model of rubber "sport-touring" X reviewed by the magazine and go to the tire shop to order it, usually makes you "but made a nice soft rubber grip that does not which has the !, then you propose the latest gem soft bi-compound with silica, and he makes you "for heaven's sake, those are for the track, are very hard." So!?

the end I tried to rationalize the distinguishing between what behavior in steady and cold. Evidently, the parameters are different: it is said that a compound, a regime that is soft, go necessarily in temperature before a hard (do not know if it can depend on chemical composition, carving, thickness, etc.), that the thermal inertia of rubber and the equilibrium temperature are independent variables.

If so, however, should reconsider the classical division Racing / Sport Touring / Touring, and to consider all combinations of these two parameters, namely:
- Racing: slow and soft (should be warmed beforehand)
- Sport: Fast and hard (can be used soon, but should be stressed to keep them in temperature)
- Sport Touring: fast and smooth (go lower temperature stress of Sport)
- Touring: slow and tough (not stress or go to the limit, nor cold)

That then this to have a practical sense is another speech ....

How Much Doed Jon Cryer Get Paid?

Motorcycling - What good is it?



Sometimes I try to imagine the motorcycle activity seen as a "pure".
We remove the practical aspect of the affair, mainly agility in traffic.
We remove the fetish for the "good mechanics".
We remove the enthusiasm for the benefits (a standard bike beat many supercars worth millions, but do not tell motorists, sport that they feel so ...).
Toglia, for scooters and the like, low running costs (insurance et c.)
We remove the romantic aura of the "lone ranger."
We remove the role of a status symbol of the latest model in the bar.
What remains? That is because motorcyclists like to ride?
's strange, but although I read almost everything on the subject, it seems to me that this issue is so fundamental ignored. Is taken for granted: God has created for the enjoyment of the bike riders?

GOVERNANCE correct and incorrect


Aristotle lived in a time when the polls had influenced the Macedonian hegemony.
The philosophers of that time defined man as "naturally social animal " and thus must be sociable, solitary and do not like the gods, in order to realize his works and himself in the best way. In this respect Aristotle
collected 158 constitutions of different States, to be able to study the strengths and weaknesses, which, however, comes to us only the Constitution of the Athenians.
From his study, the philosopher made a statement to distinguish the various forms of government, which until then had formed in the places he studied: correct forms and improper forms.



Correct form improper forms


............... .. opposed to monarchy ------ ----> Tyranny
............... (Government of one) ................... (dominance of one)




............... Aristocracy opposed to ---- ------> Oligarchy
.......... (Government of the best) .............. (benefit of the wealthy classes)


.................... Politia opposed to ----------- -------> Democracy
........... (Government of .............................. ( When the prevailing interest
..... multitude benefit ............................. of a part of
............... of all) .................................. . population, the poor)



is also true that the same form of government can take on different shades depending on the privileges of the majority of the good citizens of one party against the ol'arroganza ' other. So even Aristotle
had to get an idea of \u200b\u200bgood government and desirable: the polished according to him, was the form which gives citizens some of the conditions of because there can be peace within the state:


1. material and spiritual well (GOLDEN STATE)
2. not too high number of citizens
3. good location in the city
4. nature brave and intelligent citizens in
5. collaboration between social classes
6. ownership of property but with a reduced use of money.

Ethics and politics are part of those sciences which Aristotle described as the 'science practices ".
The policy covers the science that studies the forms of government of men in state. Instead, ethics is concerned with individual behavior as subordinate to politics.
According to Aristotle is very important to the study of ethics, for which he also wrote a famous and important book "Nicomachean Ethics", in analyzing the individual behavior of people and thus also the political life itself, ensure the happiness of people.
For the Greeks, in fact, political life, was the best a man could achieve in his life, given that nature is regarded as a social being, and therefore could not be so lonely as gods.

What Does End Of Hulk Mean

Audio / DIY / Electronics - Passive Pre


To optimize the performance of my system (see http://vincenzo-blog.blogspot.com/2007/10/audio-autocostruzione-elettronica-rcv-1.html # links), I made a simple attenuator (why else are not the so-called passive preamplifiers) with cards of Dantimax.

Connect the volume control between the DSP and crossover, in fact I can keep the entrance to the DSP fixed, so that it works at full resolution sampling, and vary only one input to the crossover, which (hopefully ...) has fewer problems than analog.
Although the source semi-amateur (the kit comes in the DIY forum), the design is pretty elegant: the signal passes only through fixed resistors in a series of relays.
also retains the balanced line, and you can change the total impedance, which remains fixed regardless of the volume.

As a "gem" I added an extra tab (always Dantimax) to adjust the volume with a remote control. The card uses the codes of the Philips, so you can use a commercial remote control, select the device to emulate (I used the TV set).

At this point I can calibrate the output of the crossover so that the next drive to his work Cleanbox optimum gain.

My personal discutibilissimo Decalogue and self-regulation, to which I stick after having risked their skin several times ...

- Maintain safe distances
The overall performance of the bike under braking is poor: not talking about stoppies on track, we must consider the reaction time, the "no confidence" in the asphalt, the risk of being buffered et c.
It 's very difficult to maintain awareness in the daily routine in traffic, the necessary margins. Take into account a possible sudden movement (also a stop violent) who goes before us is not enough: if the pile-up obstacle goes to zero speed in a split second. E 'need mental training to see who goes before us like a wall against which you are traveling at full speed.
not get used to entrust their safety uncertain availability of a corridor of escape between cars in a maneuver with the bike set-up braking pressure is very difficult and is likely to lead to trajectories difficult to assess (classic: the margin between the columns of the machines is "invaded" by means which, in turn, seek to evade the obstacle).
Always maintain a safe space around you (yes, even the back!)
often hear talk of "reaction time" (about one second), but in motion should be added the "response time" to get to the levers and brake, start to climb, whether it is preferable to find a way out or risk capture, check the mirrors ... not how to give a "beam" on a car with ABS (so who pays buffers ...)!

Guide - based on what we actually see, but especially what NOT see.
The majority of accidents at intersections or in motion is in curves.
Stop thinking "I suddenly popped out of hand" (as I did for a long time), mentally takes some getting used to consider this possibility, as is normal and very possible.
not trust the traffic lights green.
Getting used to think "I see the open road," not "I do not see dangers: the dangers are such precisely because they are not seen (classic blind corner).
If you ride with this awareness, we realize that speed limits are not as absurd as they seem.

- Do not overtake
Overtaking is, in itself, a risky maneuver.
reduce his visibility by others, in addition to its field of view. Decreases the safety margin and the margin on the trajectories. Close to traffic more dangerous (in the opposite direction) and the entrance of the crossings.
is worth only pass:
a) parked cars (tail) BEARING in mind that even machines "almost stationary" can in a split second out of the column, or
b) machinery in motion beyond which you are unsure (visually) that there is open road (machinery, curves and intersections) for at least a hundred yards.
always evaluate the risk / benefit: If you overtake from 80 kph to 120 for short distances, the time savings is negligible on normal routes.

- Be visible
not just a matter of eye-catching clothing, lights, flashing ALWAYS et c.
must strive to be "visible" even when you have not, with a linear, definite and predictable, so people to know exactly where you are when they're looking the other way (classic: the driver who overtakes thinking that the rider, in turn overtaking us, go much slower than imagined).

- not to take advantage
be able to do things that are denied to motorists, it does not mean automatically have their rights.
A row is always a row at the cinema as the street. If you are not guaranteed to be no effect on the traffic of others, refrain from "wriggling" several (classic example: the bikers making their way to the highway code). The possibilities are
operating privileges "extra" if you can not enjoy (the classic car blocked in an emergency lane) do not take it.

- Be aware of the risk
The truth is that a dangerous maneuver can be repeated many times without consequences. This leads, sometimes unconsciously, to a poor perception of risk and a dangerous addiction.
ESPECIALLY convince them that 99% of BIKERS GUIDE dangerously for themselves and for others, so do not follow the example for emulation or simple automation.
Getting used immediately to prevent such moves, even when it is "ball" at the highest concentration, so that it becomes automatic when you are tired, devolved, when conditions change rapidly (rain, dark) or when you are simply elated to the new curve just surfaced ...
.
- Be aware of your limits
Notwithstanding the "stakes" self-imposed above, further increase margins in poor condition. Getting used to be "an examination of conscience" every time you get in motion: you are drunk? you sleep? you are tired? you are distracted? How old are you? how are your reflexes? your view? In
bike is more difficult to be honest with yourself, why not simply a means of transportation, the passion comes into play, the irrational, the machismo, competition, aggression, et c.

- Reduce the risk
The possibilities are endless maneuvering: always choose one that offers more room for error, to reconsider, to escape. NEVER choose a trajectory required (classic return from overtaking "stuck" behind a medium that is in turn overtaking).
.
- Ignore the signs for speed
A penalty on the highway do not send in ruins, while addressing a blind curve at 50 can be very dangerous. In a normal country would take the signs to give advance notice of a threat (to themselves or others) in Italy seem to put a bit random on the basis of criteria other than "administrative", and there is absolutely to be trusted.
Maintain a speed that they can actually stop within the available space on the basis of visual references safe.
.
- not just your business
Everyone's life if he plays as he sees fit ... on track.
Statistics show (seems unbelievable) that the damage caused motorcycle are growing, especially pedestrians scooter.
Despite the serious risks faced by motorcyclists will not create hazards for others, especially if they are riders like you!.

How Long It Takes For Melanoma

Audio / DIY / Speakers / QNPS-1 - Positioning


Despite the small size of the room (a dining room with kitchenette), I tried to take advantage of the elongated and irregular (a sort of L) to avoid standing waves and leave as much space as possible around dipoles.
I then placed them at a small partition wall, under a beam.
The idea, rather unrealistic, was to decouple as much as possible from the front face to back.
The hypothesis that the proximity of the woofer below the wall and the floor below would seem to affect the response confirmed by the low roll-off.

Is Tea Good For Boxers

Computers / Software / Embedded Vista


Periodically, Microsoft announced an operating system "completely modular and scalable real-time" is successful with NT, then with W2K, then by 2003 ... At the end always comes out the Home version, the Pro version, Server version, the version of Terminal E. .. Embedded version. The latter is
Vista Embedded, which is rampant on the UMPC platform, after Microsoft failed to impose XP Embedded ... (And before CE embedded).
Since Microsoft has (almost) abandoned the EC no longer understands what you mean by "embedded": apart from the obvious reference to (partly) in the sw firmware, and the fact that the versions are "dedicated", everything what usually is associated with the handheld architecture is absent.
The system depends on a disk, boot has a conventional (slow as usual) and it consumes so scary.
The system is so enormous (for a handheld), which has allowed HTC Shift to use on a full instance of WM as a simple communication device ... (!).

Audio / Music / Progressive / Anekdoten - Tour 2007!

The Anekdoten are preparando un tour invernale in Europa.
Con un post sul loro forum hanno chiesto di spargere la voce per eventuali locali che fossero interessati:

"Ok so here's the thing:Anekdoten and Alamaailman Vasarat are going on a 2 week European tour in December. They'd like a litle help with suggestions as to places to play, and contact details for suggested places. Approximately 6 gigs have already been set up, but now's basically the time you get to shout out where you think they should play and where it should be. Get the word out for the people who don't frequent this board. Suggestions can eitherbe posted here or emailed to the band: anekdoten@anekdoten.seAny and all suggestions welcome."

Where Can I Get A Medicure

Audio / Music / Radio / Radio Rock - Margus fired from Radio Rock?


In an open letter on his blog, which would play a little controversy, but that explains little or nothing, the popular host of the morning program on Radio Rock abruptly long collaboration with the radio.
I tried to write to him asking for some details, but I guess I can not answer them all. Meanwhile on Radio Rock
do understand that the motives of the "divorce" with the little c'entrino "stalled in the audience."
admit to being disappointed in the way in which it was held (the audience certainly did not expect it) and I'm also curious to know what the hell happened ...

Places To Customize Cleats

Audio / Electronics / Marantz PM7200


After a series of DIY amps and other more or less "fake", one day I decided to "put my head straight and move to a commercial amplifier, but decent quality.
Despite appearances, taken from the multitude of "integrated", "complete systems", "home theater", "class D" and excluded the so-called (and expensive) amplifiers "high-end, there was not much choice then .
My needs were a little conflicted: on one hand I needed a good reserve of power to drive two channels inefficentissimi the dipoles, on the other I was orientatando towards multi-amplification, in which case I could take advantage of future a final "minimal" only for the tweeter.
Moreover, in view of the multi-amp, I needed some kind of control system that would manage without all the paraphernalia to be the electrician every time you wanted to turn the plant.
the end I turned to the Marantz PM7200, a stereo Class AB delivers 155 W into 4 ohms, but (I believe only in general) can work in Class A at 30 W.
The adoption of the "standard" control bus in the Marantz was a difficult choice, because, unless to do with an ad hoc, this binding on future developments (in fact, taken at the end of radio and always Marantz CD ...) . Of course the manufacturers know this and are careful not to get a true standard! However
is quite easy: with a single remote can control all equipment, especially lights and all that is connected to the subsidiaries. The pre-engineered
is good, because it has a direct button, which bypasses all the controls, and is separated from the final thanks to the taps for the DSP.
The only problem (which is common to all amps of this type) is the strong heat emanating in class A. Marantz is exaggerated to say that is normal, but I have not been able to do without adding a fan silenziolissima (the Noctua) to "resist" the Roman summer ... As for the qualities
"sonic" I admit to not knowing how to evaluate. Surely they are up to my DIY dipoles, but for this we need a little ....
