deserve it (or, alternatively, write really kickass rock and roll lyrics) until
somebody makes you leave town. If you join Hank's gang, there's this huge
nightclub outside of town, where we're having a blowout party. Anything goes
there, even bunless wieners and all sorts of condiments."

Asatru is actually a good deal of fun, and you can't say that about most religions.

I don't even own a gun. However, it is clear that you seem to have
some prejudice against religion also?!?!? I am not religious, but
do see a kind of wierd, communicable evil being manifest by people
like you. This hate thing is really imponderable. I don't associate
with people like you, and that is probably one reason why I haven't
contracted this odd hate-filled mental illness.

The only reason you seem to see so much hate in others is that reality

is reflecting your own denied self-hate back to you.

Just release the judgement that's holding that denial in place, and
let the hate be redeemed.

Good Luck!

Thanks for all the input. I did leave out an important fact. I did
intend to use a coil wound on a form or around a either a steel or
ferrite rod depending on efficiency. I have already done some tests
and projecting a detectable carrier is in the bag so to speak. The
problem lies in shaping the dispersion so I can focus the beam into a
limited space, say 25 feet in diameter at 50 feet from the radiating
coil.

As others have said, due to the long wavelength at that frequency,
this is essentially magnetic signal transmisssion at 25kHz.
I've got an idea and I'm trying to visualize whether it would
work... Put several coils around the main coil, with enough of the
signal in them at reverse polarity to cancel the signal along the
sides. I'm hoping this would "narrow the beam" but I suspect that in
the far field it would just reduce it or cancel it out equally in all
directions. Perhaps someone has actually done something similar with
magnetic fields and can tell you more how to do it.
The basic question is, can you "focus" a magnetic field? I suspect
not, at a distance there's a "north pole" and a "south pole" and the
field goes between the poles in a characteristic way, and adding other
"magnets" around it can only change the shape of the near-field. The
far field will effectivly "see" just one magnet.

Sorry for the omission.

The real omission is why you want to do this, and then perhaps we
can come up with alternate means of doing it (presuming things line a
25-foot-long twisted pair is unacceptable).

Maybe the guy just doesn't realize what can be done with wire. I had

about a 75' 4-conductor (cat 3?) wire running 10 (or maybe 100) base
whaddayacallit, TCP/IP, just fine. It was actually a 100' wire, with
about 25' in a pile at the one end.

Thank Gawd those nice folks at Diebold have made sure there is no paper

IMO, many of the electronic voting schemes seem incredibly outrageously
implemented. Even though it isn't important to distinguish, there is
definitely some kind of incompetency or insanity involved in the
so-called 'upgrades.'

How could a sane specification for a voting scheme in the current
climate, with current technological ignorance of technology in
politics/law/policing and the general public, for a voting scheme
practically avoid a physical
paper trail? Of course, it is THEORETICALLY and eventually completely
possible to define and develop a foolproof all-electronic scheme, it is
also almost impossible to make the foolproof scheme totally secure TODAY.
There is just too much technical ignorance in the legal, political and
even
in the technical fields. Even if the effects of the mass ignorance are
all resolved, then the dishonesty and lack of integrity of "modern
humanity" would render almost any scheme untrustworthy.

I agree 1000%.

A couple of elections ago, I went down to the county hall to register.

They asked me if I'd like to vote electronically. I said, "sure!" Get
it out of the way on the spot, and stay home and drink on election
day, sounds like a deal! So, they check off my name on that 14" printout,
and hand me a white magstripe card, with I think a serial number, like
those pick a number tags. But it's the size, shape, and strip of a standard
debit card. They've got all these little voting stations set up on these
little tall table thingies (like a skeletal voting booth) with a slot
for the card - it's very much like an ATM - but the card/slot doesn't
operate _anything_ like any other thing out in public that takes an
ATM card. It was a challenge for me to get the thing swiped right, and
I'm not an actual moron, I just play one on USENET.

So, you get the card read, and it gives you a touch-screen ballot. And,
apparently, the little box stores up the vote, because I didn't see
any network wires, and I didn't see anything like a hardcopy, and
I think I'd have known if it wrote the ballot to the actual mag card.
So, there's this dozen or so laptops with the ballots stored electronically
somewhere (disk drive? NVRAM?), with practically no paper trail at all. I
suppose they collect them all and plug them into a USB port or something.

Frankly, I'd rather paper.

Is there anyone how can design a simple circuit for Avalanch
photodiode bias.
I want to use it instead of PIN photodiode and I just need to
measure changing of light. I don't need high responsivity of APD.

Specification of APD:
Sensitivity@1310: .86 A/W
Vr=5v

Vr=5v? Do you have a manufacturer's name and part number?

Read the "Avalanche Photodiodes: A User's Guide" article at this
site, and consider the issue of bias voltage control (figure 2).
http://optoelectronics.perkinelmer.com/Service/whitepapers.html

thanks. That helped me but there wasn't any bias circuit diagram in
this whitpaper. Please let me know if evryone have any suggestion for
simple bias circuit for APD.

The bias circuit is simply a high-voltage power supply, with a fast
sensitive current limit to protect the APD at higher light levels.
The question is how to determine the setpoint voltage. You can set
this manually, observing the APD's dark current, or you can use a
servo loop, like PerkinElmer does for their low-dark-count photon-
counting detectors, although this can become quite complicated. For
simple sample dc-current circuits, see Jim William's paper, LTC's
AN-92, available here, http://www.linear.com/designtools/index.jsp

I didn't require to detect very low level optical signal. I have to
use it becease I don't have a PIN photodiode at now.

If you don't need the sensitivity an APD can provide, you may find
it much easier to go to the trouble of obtaining a PIN diode. :&gt

It is just a possibility that since all of the CFL's used in Australia

operation on 220/230Vac to conform with the European power supply. The
Australian power supply is nominally 240Vac but it will vary up to 10%
above this. Since the Australian market is tiny by comparison with
Europe why would the nmanufacturers redesign the CFL's sold to
Australia to have longer lifetime when operated at say 250Vac rather
than the 230Vac in Europe? Despite the fact that the cartons in which
the CFL's are packed are labelled for 240Vac operation, what's the
betting that they are really 220/230Vac units?

I know some people have talked about injecting cs into the

Well, I do see the need, if its of any use. Antibiotic resistant
septicaemia for one. HIV for another - again, if it does anything.
And other uses - as we know, antibiotics and antifungals do need
to be injected in numerous cases, and many lives are lost through
failures with these approaches.

I did a search on the silver list and found 244 matches for "inject"

http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/search.html?query=inject

Most of them had nothing to do with this topic, but there is a
section that directly addresses the problems. Here's two entries by
Jason Eaton:

1. Distilled water injected into the bloodstream can cause shock
leading to death. The Sol must be titrated properly; it must be
prepared properly.

[...]

http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m60364.html

It's not that distilled water is toxic... It's only a matter of
shock. If a solution is not properly buffered when injected, the
fluid changes can cause shock. If the distilled water were truly
pure, and the drip done properly, this would, I believe, be an
exception and not the rule. The PH of the sol has to be precise.

[...]

http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/m60370.html

There is much more information not shown here. Worth reading...

Jason, Marshall, Catherine, Trem, and Ode (Ken) are knowlegable and
experienced professionals. I trust their opinions most of the time.

They also discussed adding cs to a saline solution. Even if the
contaminations problems could be overcome, the cs would immediately
combine with the salt and form silver chloride which is ineffective.

If you need fast transfer of cs, nebulizing might be worth
investigating. The technique used to be difficult and expensive, but
I recall reading posts fairly recently that apparently solve the
problems. A search on the word "nebulizer"

http://escribe.com/health/thesilverlist/search.html?query=nebulizer

gave 1355 matches.

In your other topics, I occasionally come across references to HIV
and immune-compromised individuals. They indicate very positive
results following normal use. Other posts indicate cs is very
helpful with lyme disease and MS.

The only problem with searching the silver list is you are limited
to one word of three letters or more - there are no phrase searches.
This makes it very tedious looking for specific entries out the the
~74,000 posts since 1997. However, it still is a valuable resource,
and often you get lucky and find exactly what you are looking for.

A dipole antenna, say lambda-quarter is in the order of 2.5km.
A focus won't be much smaller than this, provided that you

The other option, making more sense, is to have a magnetic antenna

magnetic loop. A 10 x 10m loop with say 1 Amp should be detectable
50 feet away.
