You were making a lot of sense up to that last part.

I have enlarged on that point in further articles today. Yes, it was a
prod, but it seemed to be a desirable one. I think we in Britain would
not at all enjoy a world in which the USA, as we know and love it (a
bit, sometimes) had collapsed.


But "the collapse of USA into separate, and adversarial, religious and
secular countries" is beyond silly. Regional differences in the US are
a fraction of what you see in much smaller European countries. The
real, if modest, cultural differences here are between big cities and
smaller towns/suburban/rural areas (ie, net consumers of Federal
dollars and net donors) and you can hardly carve up a country that
way.

Hell, we don't even kill one another at sporting events here. Be more
worried about the Neo-Nazis in Germany, maybe, who are looking like a
serious political force.

Actually,the Balkanization of America is proceeding apace;ever hear of
MechA? They are Mexican 'immigrants' who wish to retake the Southwest by
massive illegal immigration,and voting to secede. It's easier than ever for
immigrants to never have to learn English,the one thing that makes
communication and understanding possible.It's bad enough that one can vote
with non-English ballots!

Do you seriously believe that a Hispanic majority in the US Southwest
would elect either to secede, or to become a part of Mexico? They're
not that dumb.

Some of the MMICs are no more than 2 transistors with a few bias

Quite right. The difference is that they work, unlike other similar
combinations of two hot transistors and some bias resistors.

The idea of an 8 GHz Darlington amp has always seemed improbable to
me, but there they are.

A DLL is similar to a PLL except it uses digital (usually) delays as a

One detects the phase and varies the phase by delays, the other varies the
frequency. Each has its benefits and problems.

People don't take any notice of bells and sirens, and they don't 'see'

impart far more information.

'BING-BONG. Emergency announcement. There is an incident at the front of

Repeated in other languages if necessary. Try that with a bell!

Then: 'BING-BONG. Muster at the far end of the rear car-park for roll-

Right, we're are talking about 100 American's killed because
of inadequate annuciation, audio, visual or some other way!

For instance one could signall everyone to leave a building through

the use of a bad smell. Natural Gas leaks use such signalling.

Oh sheesh- they have 100's thousands of former elite troops who have
been thoroughly indoctrinated since a very young age.


But they are not the *majority* of Iraquis.

Well- they weren't the *majority* under the Hussein regime either. The
people I have in mind tend to be very undemocratic in dealing with
dissenters.

How many
terrorists does it take to paralyze a nation?


It seems to be accepted that most of the terrorists are not Iraquis.

The US DoD statistics, leaked to the press, are that the majority to
date are Iraqis

But
the answer is 'a lot'. Israel is not, and the north of Ireland was not,
'paralysed'.

There are several reasons for Israel remaining functional such as
extremely tight borders, populace armed to the teeth, very heavy
military and security presence literally everywhere, high security
procedures and security consciousness followed with strict discipline
24/7. I don't know what the situation is in Ireland.
In Iraq, the insurgents have in fact succeeded in: slowing the
reconstruction to a snail's pace by terrorizing the war profiteer
foreign contractors and forcing them to flee, sabotaging expensive
infrastructure such as the pipeline which causes funding problems for
the US, assassinating quite a few government officials so that the ones
who remain cannot establish a local presence, infiltrating nearly every
bit of Iraqi security so as to impair their effectiveness and gather
intelligence on US operations for purposes of defeating their security
measures- enabling such feats as destroying the UN compound early on-
forcing that organization to move out and not since return, increasing
awareness of US tactical standard operating procedures so as to increase
the lethality of ambushes, denying free movement of US military in large
areas of the country, etc.

And as per usual military
training, they have the ability to recruit, inspire, and motivate new
troops/followers. Bush was warned about this and advised to give these
people a part in the government from the start.


The US also has a very large number of military people. Do they have a
presence in government to keep them from destroying their country?

If a foreign invader moved in overnight and began attempting to crush
any resistance under the boot, the embedded resistance here would make
Iraq look like a girl scout camp. The quislings would be assassinated
and collaborators executed. The country would be reduced to ash and
rubble before they could get their hands on it. And absolutely zero
chance of any foreign sponsored American security force going anywhere-
except to the grave.

The
former Iraqui servicemen might be happier if someone go around to paying
them any back pay that's owing. AFAIK, that still hasn't been done.

It looks like the dissatisfaction at present runs much deeper than a
backpay issue.

It would be a big mistake to assume that the socio-political wants and
needs of the average Iraqui are essentially different from those of the
average American.

I identify that statement as being precisely the one mis-assumption most
responsible for creating the quagmire that exists there today.

The fact that "people at school" repeat things which you have said to

the presence of an illegal camera, but it could be a simple FM
wireless microphone some of your supposed "mates" have placed there as
a joke. In this case you could try generating a constant tone and see

Subject: Need 24-120AC/DC Voltage Detector

Message-id: <2d90e604.0409271741.6cf0fe14@posting.google.com

Does anyone have any ideas on how to create an opto isolator circuit
that will respond to input voltages from 24V to 120V AC or DC? I would
like to design the 7 inputs to my system so that I can accept any
voltage in this range with minimal and preferably no jumper changes to
account for the different sensitivities and rectificationn. The
typical control voltages are 24VDC, 48VDC, 60VDC and 120VAC. If any
changes of jumpers is required, I would like to do it with just one
jumper for all 7 inputs.

I know there are opto isolators like Opto22 that take from 3-32V and
35-60V AC or DC and others that take 120VAC as inputs. I have looked
at the HCPL3700 which is an opto with on board bridge and current
source to the LED. And, I have looked at general purpose optos and
added a bridge in front of them, but I have not come up with a LED
driver that will accept all the voltages and have reasonable
sensitivity in the noisy environment with long control cables (up to 1
mile). Any single jumper solutions to change the sensitivity work fine
if there is one isolator, but do not lend themselves to simply using
that one jumper to handle 7 circuits.

Thanks, for any ideas.

Use a 400V 1A full-wave rectifier. Get good quality electrolytics for best
results. This circuit will delay less than 1 full AC line cycle for turn off,
but it's very reliable, and doesn't have the annoying characteristic of false
turn-offs on line cycle transitions.

While not the cheapest possible answer, it's very reliable, and a lot less than
an Opto-22 module.

Good luck

Unless you have a long run of cable from your antenna to your TV a

preamp isn't going to do you much good -- and if you use one you'd want
it out on the mast at the antenna, not at the TV.

You can find TV frequencies on the web; channel is on 56MHz and the
nominal spacing is 6MHz, but I can't remember where the gap is for FM radio.

If you can't remember how to bias a transistor then you probably can't
design a good TV preamp from scratch. I'd look around and see if
there's any kits -- Down East Microwave would be good but I doubt they
have anything wide band enough.

I mean that the Tach is connected to the console by a wire. The console
is connected to the alternator and wall outlet by four wires: One to the
outlet (white, not ground), one to the Tach Terminal, one to the Field
Terminal and one to the Ground Terminal. It's all very simple. All the
circuitry is in the console except for the resistor and a diode. Most
of the wires are quite thin.

Apparently, the console uses the Tach to determine how much current to
feed the alternator. I've tried to avoid drawing a diagram because of
variable width fonts, but I'll give it a go. I'd be happy to e-mail you
a prettier one I made, but it doesn't give much more info. I can email
you photographs as well if you're interested. I doubt they'd be
helpful.


The diagram works perfectly in Courier. ASCII art diagrams just require
a monospaced font and no use of tabs, with line length kept well below
80 characters.

The one remaining problem and it's not trivial, is what you mean by
'B+'.

Is that resistor a big thing or a small thing?



I think that if I replace the console with a circuit that will provide a
variable current, using Tach as feedback, then I can do away with the
console.

snip

If you mean 'variable field current', then the answer is yes, but it's
not a trivial task.

I think that's what I mean. It looks like the console is getting
current from the outlet and feeding it to the field terminal. From my
discussions with the OEM and looking at the circuit, it seems like the
machine alters the current until the Tach is right.


If that is what is wanted for the machine to do its job, yes. The user
has to maintain a constant speed as shown on the tach meter?

I suppose it may be easy to copy a frequency counting circuit to
determine the RPM from the Tach. Using the frequency, I could determine
whether I want to increase or decrease the current by comparing it to a
fixed table, but I've never tried to regulate current.


You can use analogue feedback; you don't need a look-up table. Count the
frequency, convert the frequency to a control voltage and use that to
control the current.

Would it be more advisable to remove the resistor and replace it with a
rheostat or some other variable load?


Not if you want to retain automatic control.

Why would it be difficult to vary the field current? If it's not too
difficult to explain, would you elaborate?


What I mean is that the design of a voltage-controlled current source at
the power level likely to be involved requires a skilled power
electronics designer.

What do you expect the field current to be (I should know, but I don't).

I would like to find some information about the origins of the captured and

Again, assuming that we are fighting foreign fighters is a dangerous

presuming that the insurgents being mostly Iraqi is not only the most likely

Unless they are lip reading from the video this seems more like a
microphone than a camera, or maybe both.

How about a test? Think up something so incredible to say that you
know they are going to repeat it if they hear it but that would be
nearly impossible for anyone to happen to say by coincidence. And
then write down a copy and keep it secret, so you can check later.

I listened to a lecture this summer by someone who claimed that
many of the amazing coincidences that we experience in life are
being now thought to perhaps not be what we think they are.
Instead parts of our brain that we aren't even conscious of are
picking up clues and later poking them up into our consciousness
where we are astonished at what we suddenly see.

In the weeks after the lecture I watched myself say things and
think of things with no apparent cause. When I noticed that I
would quickly think back over the recent past, trying to see if
I could remember anything I might have noticed that would have
been the source. I was surprised that with a little effort I was
able to realize the probable source of some of these.

I'm not dismissing your concern, just trying to think of any other

3rd world one, despite the vast weight of facts and evidence that supports

support the removal of the failure Bush, lets stick to them.

On Iraq

1. Where are WMD?

2.Where was imminent Threat?

3. Where are the tie ins between 9/11 and Iraq you said existed.

4. Bush says he would do the same war even if he knew about no WMD? This is
Bush admitting that WMD had little to do with the war.

5. Why did you do nothing about Abu Ghraib even though your admin knew about if
for about a year before the story broke? Do you really expect us to believe
that Lindie England the W. Virgina Guardswomen decided that 'be all that you
can be' was a chance to develop her skills as a dominatrix?
Where were the people in charge of this prison? What the hell were you really
up too? These pictures and this story angered our opponents and led to the
deaths of many of our troops, who is responsible?

on corruption

6.You and your party passed a partisan medicare drug reform bill that does not
allow the govt. to dicker over the price of drugs with the makers? This is
costing the tax payers an extra 150 billion! The filp side of this one is
asking Bush supporters if they squeel like pigs when they are bent over!

7. Why are the children of prominant Republicans running Iraqi rebuilding funds
when they have no experience and are screwing up costing the lives of our
troops? Who is responsible for this?

8. Who did Cheney meet with during the energy task force and what was agreed to
there?

9. Who outed that CIA Agent who's husband was saying that Saddam didn't have
any WMD?

On your broken promises

10. Where is the bipartisan govt. you promised us?

11.. Where are the 7 million new jobs you promised us?

12. Where is the big middle class tax cut you promised us?

13. Where is the funding for no child left behind?

on Terror

14. What are we doing in Iraq?

15. Why are we making more terrorists?

16. Why are we making Afganistan the Bastard Child?

And I could go on an on. We don't need the Daughters, or Laura, or even Neil!.

This Pres has been a total failure, the only magic he has is in his supporters,

You are describing the consequence of a very ignorant and apathetic

of the idiot and his speech in Ohio today, trying to paint a rosy
picture of restoring the economy of that state by creation of his
"opportunity zones" and promising them federal assistance. Funny the way
Republicans are so set against big government until it comes to a
business related handout. Bush also described the underlying premise of
these opportunity zones as making America a good place to do business by
reducing business taxes and regulations. Yeah- a lot of those
regulations have to do with worker compensation, health, safety, and
pollution. So the idiots all cheered for a clown who in essence told
them they will be working sub-minimum wage trash jobs in an unhealthy
work environment, and in an unhealthy cesspool with filthy air, water,
and toxic contamination run rampant- and they cheered. What I want to
know is- can Bush actually get them to eat his shit- some kind of
Bushdogs or something?- I bet he can.
