QuotedWithout running the system long enough to cause undercutting you can't really tell without digging.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
An imagined scene from the film, 2001, A Space Odyssey. Here, the astronaut and the "dawn of man" ape are about to touch the mysterious black object.
Kit Maker: Lunar Models
From Wikipedia:
2001: A Space Odyssey (often referred to as simply 2001) is a 1968 epic science fiction film directed by Stanley Kubrick released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and written by Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke. The film deals with thematic elements of human evolution, technology, artificial intelligence, and extraterrestrial life, and is notable for its scientific realism, pioneering special effects, ambiguous imagery that is open-ended to a point approaching surrealism, sound in place of traditional narrative techniques, and minimal use of dialogue.
The film has a memorable soundtrack—the result of the association that Kubrick made between the spinning motion of the satellites and the dancers of waltzes, which led him to use The Blue Danube waltz by Johann Strauss II,[2] and the famous symphonic poem Also sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss, to portray the philosophical evolution of Man theorized in Nietzsche's homonymous work.[3][4]
Despite initially receiving mixed reviews, 2001: A Space Odyssey is today recognized by many critics and audiences as one of the greatest films ever made; the 2002 Sight & Sound poll of critics ranked it among the top ten films of all time.[5] It was nominated for four Academy Awards, and received one for visual effects. In 1991, it was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. On 25 June 2010 a version specially remastered by Warner Bros. without the music soundtrack opened the 350th anniversary celebrations of the Royal Society at Southbank Centre in co-operation with BFI, with the score played live by the Philharmonia Orchestra and Choir.

Featuring Gary Lucas, arranged and conducted by Phillip Johnston - As Phillip Johnston says on his webpage "From the first concert of Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band that I heard (Ungano's Ritz Theater, in Staten Island) I was hooked, and I followed them somewhat fanatically for years... Now for the first time, after almost 30 years, having done re-arrangements and deconstructions of Raymond Scott, Billy Strayhorn, Thelonious Monk, Steve Lacy, Herbie Nichols, and others, with my groups The Microscopic Septet & Big Trouble, I've gotten together with my friend Gary Lucas, to do something with the music of Captain Beefheart." The ensemble's repertoire (which is still growing) is drawn from the entire range of Beefheartiana, from 'Safe As Milk' through 'Ice Cream For Crow', (and concentrating heavily on 'Troutmaskreplica'.) Fast 'n' Bulbous is about to release an album, and to celebrate it, they're playing a live set on WFMU at 4 PM/

He'll give us the story behind the songs and tell us why he pulled the plug.

Gilles Peterson really wanted to be on the radio when he was a kid - so he rigged up a transmitter in his backyard (with the help of his dad) and took listener requests at a neighborhood payphone.

Associated with the rise of "acid jazz" but a man of many genres, Gilles has compiled a new double-CD of Brazilian music old and new entitled "Gilles Peterson in Brazil" on Ether Records.

A peek into the future of world music
Saturday, November 13th, 2004, 8pm - 11pm
on Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob Weisberg
In Europe there's actually a "world music industry" (for better or worse) and WOMEX, held in Europe every October, is the world music equivalent of CMJ (again, for better or worse.) Showcases, seminars, shmoozing, shilling, and whatever else goes on at these affairs. A lot of world musicky artists first showcase at WOMEX, then tour Europe, and THEN tour the U.S. a year or two later. So for us Americans WOMEX is a sneak peek into the future.
WFMU DJ Rob Weisberg attended this year's WOMEX in Germany as did journalists Anastasia Tsioulcas [*pronounced SOOL-KUS*] (Billboard Magazine) and Tom Pryor (Global Rhythm Magazine). They'll talk about the experience, and play new music discovered there.

School days have begun. Teams have been practicing for the season's sports. Volunteers are already in place to assist teachers and students with their tasks.
Parents sigh with the mixed feelings of relief that routine has returned and sadness that their offspring will again be absent from their gaze.
There is both a sense of eagerness in the air and one of dismay that vacation has ended. The ease of summer's less scheduled, perhaps unscheduled, life has morphed into a continuing challenge of marked time, an ongoing impulsion to learn and grow.

Burn, Darcy. Burn!
So we finally covered Mr Darcy's proposal in English Literature class and let's just say that as the teacher read the passage, I was mouthing the words and hearing in my mind the swoon-worthy tone of Matthew Macfadyen. I am aware that there are other Mr Darcys out there, though I know the 2004 movie adaptation is far from being the most accurate to the novel, I still think Macfadyen wins as the 'top Darcy' simply because of his voice.
Oh, and the passion between their characters! It's just so… ohmigoshsogreat, y'know?? It completely takes my breath away. And then I thought about my third* favourite Darcy, and how Colin Firth managed to make you feel sorry for him even though he insults Elizabeth so thoroughly. In the 1996 television version, I absolutely love the proposal scene because not only does it stay true to the novel, but Ehle's coldness was how I imagined Elizabeth to react.
Though Keira Knightley was great and everything, I felt the scene was dramatised too much. I mean, c'mon! The prophetic fallacy? The raining? It get's old, man. Besides, Ehle's Elizabeth was strong, and she didn't nearly kiss Darcy in the heat of passion… unlike Knightley. ^_^
Moving on to the other interpretations of Darcy's proposal, I came across the 1940s film Continue reading

My introductory text to SQL Server, appropriately titled Introduction to SQL Server, is now in print and available for sale. The book is intended to be useful for someone new to SQL Server, typically an end user who is faced with getting data out of Microsoft SQL Server. In this text we had four main goals:
- Introduce SQL Server in a good light to those who are new to it.
- Introduce basic SQL queries for those who have never worked with the language before.
- Show some of the built-in features for SQL Server (and its stack) to report on data contained within a SQL Server database.
- Show some of the other tools you can use (like Microsoft Office and Quest's Toad) to make your experience with SQL Server easier.
If you're a hard core DBA or developer, then there isn't a whole lot new in this text for you. But every one of us knows end users who are new to SQL Server or who could benefit from an introductory book. That latter segment is who the target audience is. A lot of it is born out of mine and Bert Scalzo's experience trying to support and help folks new to a database platform, especially our specialty (Bert wrote the original book for Oracle and we adapted this one to make it SQL Server specific). In many cases it can be frustrating trying to learn a new technology and often times a simple book with some exampes can make things easier and give a person the confidence to try and figure it out. That's what this book is for.
For those who are interested, here is the Table of Contents:
- Terminology: Introducing basic database and SQL Server specific definitions
- Preparation: How to connect; how to create an ODBC connection
- SQL Server Management Studio: How to use SQL Server Management Studio (especially the GUI interface).
- Database Objects: Understanding tables and how they work.
- Basic SQL: Basic transactions, SELECT (including WHERE), INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE (one table)
- Advanced SQL: ORDER BY, GROUP BY, HAVING, DISTINCT, and joins
- SQL Server Reporting Services: How to use the web interface and running through building a report using the wizard.
- TOAD: How to use Quest's Toad with SQL Server.
- Microsoft Office: How to use Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access with SQL Server.
- Database Sandbox: How to install your own copy of SQL Server Express.

A new type of stink bug that has caused crop damage in parts of the East and South is on the move west and north. Growers are asked to be on the watch for the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), which was spotted in Illinois for the first time last fall. The bug is expected to be prevalent this year and will cause significant damage to crops, including corn and soybeans as well as fruits and vegetables.
The BMSB was imported to the United States from Asia and first spotted in 1998. It has few natural predators and many host plants. The BMSB looks a little different from the traditional stink bugs found in the Corn Belt. Entomologists from the University of Illinois say that the BMSB has a mottled brown color, a white abdomen, and white bands on the edge of the abdomen and legs.
The stink bug lays eggs on the undersides of leaves from June to August, and the eggs hatch in 3 to 7 days. The bugs will feed on host plants all season long, eating through husks on corn and pods on soybeans. As a result, corn kernels and soybeans will shrivel. The peak movement for these stink bugs is September and October when homeowners will see them gather in homes, barns and garages.
In Pennsylvania, damage from stink bugs is so prevalent that 20% of all fruit grown there was injured by the bugs. This year, a new web-based tool will map the infestation of BMSB in Pennsylvania. Penn State in cooperation the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture developed the mapping tool. It can be found at stinkbug-info.org/
Insecticides from DuPont
Fortunately, entomologists and companies are learning what pesticides will control the insects. DuPont, for example, recently announced that Lannate SP and Lannate LV insecticides may be used to control the brown marmorated stink bug on some grain crops, as well as fruits and vegetables. These products are approved for all states, except Texas, South Carolina and New Hampshire.
Another product from DuPont, Vydate L insecticide/nematicide, can be used for stink bug control in 19 states. DuPont Crop Protection has issued Sec. 2(ee) recommendations for Lannate brands and Vydate L in accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
For a complete list of states and crops included in the 2(ee) recommendations and other information, visit lannate.dupont.com and vydate.dupont.com.

Good idea Nick...that or we could move all talk to the NFL thread
Ditto. Brees even appeared on my week 2 roster.But KBZ can have him, I'm going to whip his ass week 1 with or without Drew Brees.4 more years Zod.
So why is it we didn't go with an extra WR starter spot and/or a "utility" WR/RB spot for our starting lineups? Every Yahoo league I'm in has one or the other or both. Just seems like we've got a hell of a lot of guys on our bench and it doesn't make much sense to have that many if there's so few starting spots on our team. It also takes away the supposed strategy of our late round picks. Is there anyway we can adjust that and add 2 more starting spots?

Great report and pics once again. Them mud-toads are just gross...
Headed down after work and I was on the water around 9:30pm. Tide was almost bottomed out. Took about 5 minutes to put the first fish in the boat, a speckled trout of maybe 19". Caught a few more smaller trout right after that and I thought I was in for a great night.
Well, in the next 4 hours all I caught were a few schoolie stripers under a dock light. I eventually got one more speck about 18", but that was it. I had a ton of marks on my depthfinder so I know the fish were there, but the bite was simply dead, just one of those nights where the switch was flipped to "OFF". Pulled out at 4am.
I got a few hours sleep in the car and then launched in Lynnhaven Inlet around 8:30am. Weather was beautiful so there were a gazillion boats on the water. Trip started the same way as the previous one, I caught a decent trout on a channel edge right away and then the tide bottomed out along with the bite. A few hours later during the incoming I got on some more small trout, a big ugly oyster toad, and 4 flounder up to 16.5".
I think I pulled out around 3pm. It was a really nice time on the water even if the fishing wasn't spectacular.
Great report and pics once again. Them mud-toads are just gross...
Wishin' I was fishin'...
good job Bryan
We are told that we shouldn't judge all Muslims by the actions of an extreme few. Why can't we offer millions of law-abiding American gun owners the same consideration?

For fans of shitty NBA teams, the 2013 season is about little more than which team can manage to suck the hardest for a chance to draft Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker. Thankfully for those fans, TankingForWiggins.com exists.
The site gives a clear breakdown of which teams have the inside track at getting the best odds in the draft lottery, and it updates every hour. So now whenever a sad Jazz fan is forced to watch that shit team limp its way through another 30-point blowout, he or she can go straight to this site and see how much ground they've gained on the rest of the league's tanking disasters. It's perverse, but at least it gives them a set of standings worth looking at.
Funny side note: Of the ten teams that currently have the best odds at landing the first pick, only the Knicks and Nets owe their pick to other teams. New York basketball is back!

Bernstein booksigning; United American FWB Bible College commencement
Hiker, writer to visit Kinston
The public is invited to a book signing to meet hiker Danielle �Danny� Bernstein, author of �The Mountains-to-Sea Trail across North Carolina: A Thousand Miles through Wildness, Culture and History.� The event will be from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday at the Kinston-Lenoir County Visitor and Information Center, 101 E. New Bern Road. Lenoir Community College and the Visitor Center are sponsoring the event.
A committed hiker for more than 40 years, Bernstein is completing the Appalachian Trail, all the trails in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the South beyond 6000, many other hiking challenges and the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. She maintains sections of the Mountains-to-Sea and Appalachian trails.
She has written two hiking guides, 2007�s �Hiking the Carolina Mountains� and 2009�s �Hiking North Carolina�s Blue Ridge Mountains.� She also blogs at hikertohiker.com.
Bernstein�s mission is to get people out of their cars and hiking. Her motto is �No place is too far to walk if you have the time.� She says she plans to die with her boots on.
�The Mountains-to-Sea Trail across North Carolina,� published by the History Press, focuses on the beauty, quirkiness and vibrancy of the 1,000 miles from Clingmans Dome in the Smokies to the Outer Banks. Bernstein recounts the highlights and challenges of walking the trail. Meeting people is also a vital part of walking the trail.
The route takes in Frazer fir trees and pelicans, old grist and textile mills, working cotton and tobacco farms, Revolutionary War sites and two British cemeteries complete with Union Jacks. Bernstein shares stories that will captivate the curious, adventurous, hiker, biker, and history and culture buff.

One of Australia's best known sculptors, Daphne Mayo, is believed to have created the Booval WWI memorial while apprenticed to Ipswich monumental mason Frank Williams. The memorial, a slightly smaller than life-sized soldier standing on a plinth, was unveiled on 15 February 1919 by Governor Sir Hamilton Goold-Adams.
The marble and granite memorial honours the 221 local men who served during WWI.
A committee representing the Ipswich suburbs of Booval, Silkstone, Newtown and Raceview had raised £499 through entertainment and public subscriptions during the previous year. A voluntary 'working bee' had prepared the foundations.
War had delayed Daphne Mayo from taking up a travelling scholarship and she bided her time learning the art of carving with Williams. The Booval statue is attributed to her because of timing and the strong resemblance it bears to a model she made. Its style echoes Williams'.
Mayo's work includes the Brisbane City Hall tympanum and the Queensland Women's War Memorial in Brisbane's ANZAC Square.
Plaques honouring 16 local men who died in WWII as well as tributes to later conflicts have since been added.

As Lamar Odom remains in critical condition, Kourtney Kardashian is turning to her Christian faith in the hopes of his recovery.
On Thursday, just one day after she flew to Las Vegas' Sunrise Hospital to join sister Khloé Kardashian at Odom's bedside, Kourtney tweeted she was, "Believing in the power of prayer for this beautiful soul." She also shared a heartwarming throwback photo of Lamar and Mason Disick laughing together.
All of Khloé's siblings are praying for Lamar's recovery, too. Rob Kardashian Instagrammed a throwback snap of him with Lamar, writing simply, "Praying nonstop for my brother."
NEWS: Lamar Odom remains in critical condition, health is "no better, no worse"
Kylie Jenner Instagrammed a photo with the former L.A. Laker as well, writing, "Let's dance again together soon. Prayers up for Lamar please."
Kris Jenner shared a photo of Odom in his purple and gold uniform, writing, "Please pray for Lamar #ourfighter," while Kendall Jenner tweeted simply, "please don't go."
Odom's two children have also rallied around him in a show of support. Khloé paid to fly in his daughter Destiny, 17, and son Lamar Jr., 13, as well as their mother, Liza Morales, E! News learned.
Friends of Odom's, including former teammate Kobe Bryant, have flocked to his bedside, and athletes and celebrity friends alike have shared messages of love, hope and support on social media.
It's clear Odom is beloved by many–as his former coach Bill Bayno told E! News exclusively, "He is a great, great human being... I don't think you will ever find anyone saying one bad word about him."
Coach Bayno actually recruited Odom to play college basketball for UNLV back in 1997, but his collegiate career didn't actually begin until he transferred to the University of Rhode Island.
A spokesperson for the school issued a statement Thursday, saying, "The University of Rhode Island community continues to keep former Rhody basketball star Lamar Odom in its thoughts and prayers as he remains in a Las Vegas hospital. Known for his warmth, kindness and generosity while he was on campus, Lamar delighted Rhode Island students, alumni and fans with his talent and joy for the game.
"He took his game to the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers and then the Lakers, where he helped the Lakers win two titles," the statement continued. "And now, as people hope and pray for his full recovery, tributes from former teammates, sports writers, columnists and pundits pour in. While acknowledging his imperfections, they have highlighted his heart of gold, respect for his teammates and rivals, polite manner and openness during interviews."
The statement added: "This is the Lamar Odom who forged his NBA credentials at the University of Rhode Island, the player who appreciated any high-five, a congratulatory comment from a fellow student, and who never brushed anyone off. He will remain a part of the URI story for years to come."
For the latest on Odom's condition, tune in to E! News Thursday at 7 and 11 p.m.

In 2009, when Karen Winningham tested a DNA profile created from a sperm sample, the State Bureau of Investigation agent said it was a perfect match with Donald Eugene Borders' DNA.
In 2009, when Karen Winningham tested a DNA profile created from a sperm sample, the State Bureau of Investigation agent said it was a perfect match with Donald Eugene Borders' DNA.
Winningham, a DNA analyst for the SBI, testified in court Thursday that statistically the DNA could only have originated from Borders.
Borders, a resident of Cherryville, is on trial, accused of raping and murdering Margaret Tessneer nine years ago.
Winningham said another DNA sample, collected from a cigarette butt law enforcement officers said Borders had smoked, also provided a perfect DNA match with the sperm collected from Tessneer's body.
On Sept. 20, 2003, Libby Clark said she discovered her mother, lying across her bed, at her mother's Railroad Avenue home.
Police said the phone lines had been cut and the 79-year-old woman had been raped.
Her body was battered and bruised, according to an autopsy report.
For years, the case went unsolved.
Her cause of death has been listed as "undetermined" on her death certificate and in the autopsy.
Former Chief Medical Examiner Dr. John Butts testified Wednesday that he believed Tessneer was suffocated, but had been holding off on changing the cause of death pending further evidence in the case.
It wasn't until 2009, almost a decade after Tessneer's death, that Borders was charged with her murder and rape.
Court testimony Thursday detailed the process of creating the DNA match that led to his arrest.
Identifying the DNA
When pathologist Dr. Steven Tracy performed the autopsy two days after Tessneer's body was found he also collected items for a sexual assault kit, Tracy testified earlier this week.
He said the swabs collected and sealed in the kit were sent to the SBI lab for testing.
SBI Agent Russ Holley began court testimony Thursday by explaining the process he uses to identify sperm. He said at the time he did the testing in 2004, he was a serologist, or someone who studies bodily fluids.
Holley said he used a microscope to examine both the swabs and slides contained in the sexual assault kit and said both contained moderate amounts of sperm.
Objections from defense punctuated Holley's testimony.
Most were overruled by the judge.
Once the presence of sperm had been detected, Holley said a sample was sent to DNA analysts.
Agent Mark Boodee, who was an analyst at that time, testified that he went through a four-step process to extract the DNA from the sperm cell and create a profile.
Boodee said the DNA profile he created from the semen was entered into CODUS, a digital DNA database, but it did not come up with a match.
It wasn't until 2009, shortly after the Tessneer case had been reassigned to a Shelby Police detective and an SBI agent for a fresh look, that new leads developed.
Winningham said she performed a test on the cigarette butt Borders had smoked as well as a cheek swab collected from Borders.
She said both were matched against the profile created from the semen and both were a perfect match.
During cross-examination, Teddy questioned Boodee and Winningham about a failed certification exam in 2011.
Both said they later retook the exam and passed.
Winningham and Boodee testified that they take proficiency tests twice a year administered by an outside agency.
Boodee said the DNA lab is audited once a year and accredited.
He said all analysts have to be certified and each case the agents handle are then reviewed by another analyst and a supervisor.
Teddy also questioned about lab procedures and DNA samples that had been "overblown," including one sample Winningham analyzed from the cover of the phone box at Tessneer's home.
Assistant District Attorney Sally Kirby-Turner asked Winningham if an "overblown" sample changes the DNA structure.
She said no.
Winningham said the sample can still be used and it is not contaminated.
Teddy asked Winningham about corrective measures and a complaint filed against her.
She said she had one corrective measure against her following a proficiency test.
Teddy also questioned Holley about an unrelated, past Cleveland County rape case where a preliminary test indicated a positive result for blood, but a confirmatory test was negative.
Kirby-Turner said there was other overwhelming blood evidence.
Holley said he was never called to testify because the defendants pleaded guilty.
Holley said, since then, the SBI policies have changed regarding reporting.
He said the changes were made before 2004.
During questioning by prosecution, Holley said he did have the negative blood test result noted in his file, but that note had not been sent to the courts.

The Arnold Arboretum's 281-acre landscape is a living museum, displaying plants sourced from all corners of the temperate world for conservation and study. To expand and refine these collections, staff participate in plant exchanges with sister botanical gardens and plant conservation partners, and whenever possible, collect seed directly from the wild. Recently, the Arboretum mounted a fall expedition in the US Midwest in search of naturally-occurring native plants to expand holdings and fill gaps in its collections inventory.
The documentation, or backstory, associated with each of the Arboretum's accessioned plants—the 15,000 plus trees, shrubs, and vines that are recorded, mapped, and tracked by curatorial staff—is a good indication of its value to the Arboretum and science. Knowing precisely where a plant comes from can be important data to researchers. Wild-collected individuals carry the genetic characteristics of their source population, which can aid efforts to conserve and reintroduce threatened and endangered species to their habitats. For these reasons, the Arboretum has sent staff into the field—particularly throughout temperate Asia and North America—for more than a century in search of new species, as well as expand the genetic diversity of species already in cultivation.
This work continues to drive much of the Arboretum's strategy for plant acquisition today, with renewed vigor since the opening of research facilities on the Arboretum grounds at Weld Hill. In late September, Curator of Living Collections Michael Dosmann was joined by former Curatorial Fellow Jonathan Damery to scout and collect woody plant species in southern Illinois and Indiana. In their five days in the field, the pair collected propagation material in the form of fruit and seed for 24 species, including hickory (Carya spp.) and maple (Acer spp.), two of six national collections held at the Arboretum for plant conservation. Among other compelling acquisitions are three new vine species for the Leventritt Shrub and Vine Collection—wild yam (Dioscorea quaternata), greenbriar (Smilax rotundifolia), and woodbine (Clematis virginiana)—as well as a native burning bush species, Euonymus atropurpureus. Voucher specimens including fruits were also obtained to document the species collected for the Arnold Arboretum herbarium.
"Each of the plants we selected in the field on this expedition was collected for a reason," explained Dosmann, "whether to strengthen our core collections, acquire wild material lacking for certain species, or to add a new species to our inventory." While the duo encountered many more fruiting plants on this expedition than those they collected, Dosmann stresses the importance of being selective in the face of such abundance. "Everything we collect for the Arboretum must be thoroughly documented, vouchered for the herbarium, and propagated and cultivated in our greenhouses and nurseries over a number of years. These requirements paired with limited space in our landscape to locate new plants makes limiting our scope to our needs a critical priority."
The Arboretum has sourced many important historic collections from this region, ranging from plants gathered by Smithsonian ornithologist Robert Ridgway in the 1880s and Arboretum botanist E. J. Palmer [pdf] in the 1920s to an important 1979 expedition by Jack Alexander and Gary Koller. Due in part to the convergence of several river systems—the Wabash, Illinois, Ohio, and the Mississippi—the flora of southern Illinois is rich and includes the northern-most populations of species more typical to Southern ranges like Carolina silverbell (Halesia tetraptera) and American snowbell (Styrax americanus). Dosmann and Damery collected both of these species on this expedition, which will add value to the Arboretum's holdings of these native trees.

With the advent of IoT, Internet connections now extend to physical objects that are not computers in the classic sense. A connect pallet for example, can tell its owner the whereabouts and condition of their shipment. A connected truck can intelligently predict its own maintenance needs. A connected street light can sense the presence of cars and send environmental intelligence to drivers. These are just some of many intriguing possibilities for IoT in logistics captured in this latest edition in the DHL Trend Research series.
This Trend Report Aims to Deepen Readers' Understanding of IoT, Covering Three Main Issues:
- What is the Internet of Things, and why is it a big deal?
- What are some of the leading practises and applications of IoT that are generating value across sectors?
- What are some of the key use cases for IoT in the logistics industry specifically, and what will be their implications?
We hope that the report serves as a thought-provoking and inspirational start in understanding the implications of IoT in logistics. As we move from 15 billion connected devices today to some 50 billion by 2020, it is clear that we are only at the beginning of what certainly be an exciting journey for logistics innovation, a journey to connect the unconnected.

Hello All,
I am thinking of buying a decent economical soldering station and need your suggestions.
My budget is max. Rs 3000. Analog or digital would do fine.
I live is delhi and have checked out the shop from where I usually buy soldering stuff from. He imports most of his stuff directly from china. He is only carrying the brand Hokka 636D. It seems like a cheap chinese one with the usual features like digital temp display, 200 - 480 celsius etc. I would have though about going for it, except he is asking for Rs 3900 for it, which I think is steep for a knock off chinese product.
For other options I checked out the online stores and so far I have found 2
1. Ebay - LK936 (lion king). Rs 1,200 approx. This seems to be a ripoff of the popular Hako 936. Checked out its teardown on youtube and it seems like utter crap.
2. Soldron 938. Rs. 2,600. Digital. I have had no experience with Soldron but they seem to have a respectable name in market. The price is also decent.
Has anyone used this Soldron station and has any review/feedback to share?
Also can you suggest ant other brand/make.

Conventional wisdom holds that when a president runs for re-election, the campaign is a referendum on his performance during his first four years. I think history confirms that that view is correct. So, given that President Obama has been mired in the doldrums of unpopularity and disapproval for the large majority of his first term, does he have a chance to be re-elected?
At U.S. News' Washington Whispers, Paul Bedard offers some historical context. President Obama's job approval rating, as measured by Gallup, is now down to 43%, compared to Jimmy Carter's 51 percent at the same point in his first term. Bedard graphs the Gallup approval ratings of the post-WWII presidents at this stage of their first term, a year before re-election:
— Harry S. Truman: 54 percent.
— Dwight Eisenhower: 78 percent.
— Lyndon B. Johnson: 44 percent.
— Richard M. Nixon: 50 percent.
— Jimmy Carter: 51 percent.
— Ronald Reagan: 54 percent.
— George H.W. Bush: 52 percent.
— Bill Clinton: 51 percent.
— George W. Bush: 55 percent.
— Barack Obama: 43 percent.
To be fair to Obama, Carter's approval rating experienced a boomlet at about this time in 1979 due to the beginning of the Iranian hostage crisis, when the country rallied, briefly, behind the overmatched peanut farmer. Still, you can get the drift: In our modern history, no one with an approval rating as low as Obama's at this point in this term has ever been re-elected. Lyndon Johnson was just a point higher, and he gracefully bowed out. Everyone else was considerably higher. So Obama is in uncharted territory, but it is fair to say that there is no modern precedent for a president as unpopular as Obama being elected to a second term.

During three hectic days from 25 to 27 October 2013 I attended The Munich Show, one of the most important fossil and mineral fairs in the world.
Marienplatz, in the heart of Munich, was home to medieval markets, celebrations, and tournaments in the 12th century.
We arrived Munich on 23 October to install the Museum's exhibition at the Mineralientage München (Munich Show), which this year was devoted to gold in celebration of its 50th anniversary. In the case of fossils this translated as golden discoveries in Palaeontology.
The Museum contributed by exhibiting some of our most valuable fossils, including the iconic first finding of Tyrannosaurus rex, an incomplete lower jaw with teeth, which is the holotype of Dynamosaurus imperiosus.
Venue for the Museum specimens at the Messegelände, the New Munich Trade Fair Centre.
Another important fossil from the Museum was Proceratosaurus, a small-sized carnivorous theropod.
Proceratosaurus, theropod from the Middle Jurassic of England.
As well as fossil vertebrates the show included invertebrates, like this slab of Balanocrinus and Palaeocoma from the David Harvey Collection.
Crinoids and brittle star of the David Harvey Collection at the Museum exhibit.
The Museum displayed specimens from 'golden palaeontological sites' like the Burgess Shale and Lyme Regis.
Palaeocoma milleri, brittle star, collected by Mary Anning.
During the three days I visited all the stands concerning fossils in detail and I saw very striking specimens. Some of them were really uncommon and important scientifically. It was possible to see Edicarian fossils from Russia, really nice slabs of a whole colony of crinoids from Holzmaden or medusae from Solnhofen.
Ediacarian fossils from White Sea, Russia.
Well-preserved medusa Rhizostomites from Solnhofen.
On the other hand, this fossil fair has also been a very good place to see fossil fakes or "reconstructed" fossils.
Ammonite that has been half carved.
Eurypterid that has been 90% reconstructed - painted on.
The show also included activities for children, such as interactive workshops like fossil splitting and soapstone carving.
A 'caveman' working on cutting and polishing stones.
Little raiders of the lost fossil.
We enjoyed not only the fossils but also a big party to celebrate the Golden Jubilee on 25 October, the first day of the show, with a Bavarian orchestra that was playing while we had our dinner with typical dishes and drink from Munich, like my favourites ones: Spaetzle with cheese and German beer.
Bavarian orchestra to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Munich Mineral and Fossil Show.
Congratulations to Christoph Keilmann for organising the Munich show!

Launch ramps
Also known as kickers, these are designed to give you more air time. These ramps give you enough of a boost to practice moderate flip tricks, and are excellent for gap setups.
Box jumps
Consisting of two kickers and a flat plane, box jumps allow for easy trick transitions, so you can practice combo runs.
Quarter pipes
Practice transitional skateboarding and nail more complicated tricks with a skateboard quarterpipe. Great for keeping speed and flow in a skate park, quarterpipes are recommended for intermediate to experienced skaters.
Perfect your grind and use it as a smooth transition between tricks with grind rails. Many grind rails can be used with additional ramps and rails making them a versatile skatepark accessory. Grind rails are a better, smoother alternative to grinding on concrete.
These are only a few of the types of skateboard ramps available. Read our guide, Types of Skateboard Ramps, to learn more!
Securing Your Ramp
To stay safe while riding, it's important to secure your ramps so they don't slide and shift while you're using them. There are a number of quick and easy ways to keep ramps in place.
Asphalt Anchor Screws
Asphalt anchor screws and washers fix the ramp in place through the pre-drilled mounting points at the corners of the ramp. Simply drill the anchor screw into any asphalt for a firm grip in seconds. Many of the ramps sold by Discount Ramps come with these screws included.
Please note, these screws are designed only for asphalt and will not work with concrete. To fix the ramps to a concrete surface, it's recommended to pre-drill pilot holes and use anchor screws designed for concrete, available at hardware stores.
If you can't use the included anchor screws, sandbags are an excellent alternative to keep ramps from sliding during jumps. Simply place one or two sandbags behind the ramp in a location that will not affect the initial launch, trick, or landing.
If using asphalt or concrete screws isn't an option, plywood can help. Screw the ramp onto a large sheet of plywood. This greatly expands the surface area in contact with the ground and adds extra weight, which reduces the ramp's tendency to slide and shift.
Snowboard Ramps
Most skateboard ramps can double for use during winter. It's easy to secure a snowboard ramp, simply dig the ramp into the snow, and use snow to pack it around the edges of the ramp.When skateboarding, always wear the proper gear and be aware of your surroundings
