Dear  Friends, If you cannot view the images in this message, enable images or visit here to see this newsletter.

Try to stretch yesterday's bonanza as far as you can. It will not be that easy

because the Sun squares off against unruly Uranus at 5:18PM PST. This type of

alignment - that occurs twice each year - can represent a breakdown of law,

order and conventional ""rules of the road"" in any business, corporation,

structure or

organization. On the other hand, with an upbeat frame of mind and a little

luck, you can make profound breakthroughs that positively alter the future of

your life! Keep in mind that the Moon leaves void territory at 8:34AM PST and

heads into the fixed, water sign of Scorpio. You can penetrate to the heart of

mysteries and ferret out age-old secrets during

this lunar passage over the next two days. The evening hours hold great promise

as the Moon makes its monthly conjunction with Jupiter (9:57PM PST) while Venus

parallels Ceres (10:44PM PST). This is truly a double-dose of good news - with

the Moon-Jupiter connection opening doors in the literary, publishing and

educational realms and the Venus-Ceres contact

offering a blanket of calm and serenity surrounding family ties. Start

preparing for a rather nasty New Moon in Sagittarius on Thursday morning that

will follow two feisty and inauspicious Mars alignments in the 24 hours

preceding it. Once you have received your automated password and wish to

� che tutte le community UGI-qualcosa (UGISS, UGIDOTNET ed UGIMEX)

condivideranno lo stesso stand...e questo non pu� che

essere un bene, in quanto in un sol colpo potrete ritrovare vecchie (e nuove)

conoscenze ma, sopratutto, avere risposte confronti sugli argomenti pi�

disparati!

Per poter accedere all'evento � necessario essere iscritti ad UGISS e

Brooke,

happy Thanksgiving. Yes, the reservations are at PF Changs for 8pm.

Amanda is doing the decorations. And I have the cake all set, so I

think we are good. I will give you a call this afternoon. I am busy

busy busy cookin right now.

What are you plans for today?

Call me and if you want to come over for turkey and the rest of it.

But Dr. Lilienfeld unfortunately didn't have a solid theory to

explain how his invention worked,

so it was ignored. Some hobbyist should try making a home-built

transistor.

Lilienfeld's patent numbers are:

# 1,745,175 Method and Apparatus for Controlling Electric Currents

# 1,877,140 Amplifier for Electric Current

# 1,900,018 Device for Controlling Electric Current

[Go to IMAGES button to view them.]

These patents caused Bardeen, Brattain, and Shockley some grief, and

caused the US Patent Office to disallow the Bell Labs FET patents in

later years.

(magazine) March 1965

PPS

It is possible to make a transistor using Galena (lead sulfide, PbS).

Galena is often available from rock shops and science museum stores.

You can even make your own by melting sulfur and lead powder over a

flame. Look up keywords such as "cat's whisker diode" and "crystal

radio" to find out more.

The trick to making a transistor is to use a hyper-clean,

freshly-cleaved crystal face, to sharpen your cat's-whisker contacts

by dissolving the tips using electrolysis, and then to put the tips

within 0.05mm of each other (or preferably within 0.01mm). Obviously

the latter is the hardest part. Better use a microscope! The authors

of the following article

found that the base/emitter junction was critical: it HAD to act as a

good rectifier. The base/collector junction wasn't as important. They

got some power gain, but their beta was in the single digits. Others

have mentioned that if you break open a 1N34 glass diode to expose

the Germanium chip, you can make a crude transistor with a similar

procedure.

Teresa,

Hey chica. So, thanksgiving was good. Yes, I wish I still lived there too.

Especially for the weather. It was cold up here in Seattle this weekend. I

didn't venture out into the Friday shopping rush. I try to order most things

online and just got to stores during the week, after work.

Glad you had a fun Thanksgiving.

As for Tracey's shower, Dana and I are doing the decorations. She is helping

me. I have a bunch of things I am bringing and she and I are going to get last

minute things, if necessary, when I get to town.

I think Tracey has a bridal gift shower account at Bed Bath N Beyond and at

Crate N Barrel. I'll double check though.

I need to run. Busy Monday at work.

Talk to you soon,

Meg

Hey Meg,

What's up girl? How was your Thanksgiving? Oh my, we had so much fun. I wish

you still lived in Phoenix. We had gorgeous weather. Steve's whole family came

over and I cooked a huge Thanksgiving feast. Of course, we all ate WAY too much

food, but that's Thanksgiving.

Friday, Steve's sister Angie and I went outlet mall shopping. I wanted to get

a jump on my Christmas shopping, but of course, the stores were packed, and I

didn't get as much as I wanted done, but atleast it's started.

Anyhow, more pressing issues, and almost as fun as shopping. Party planning.

Here are a few more invites I got this weekend for Tracey's shower...

1. Carol Anwar

2. Vicki Armstrong

3. Demi Bonet

4. Karen Briggs

5. Martina Feldman

6. Stephanie Grappelli

7. Adrianna Kennedy

8. Ashley MacMarsh

9. Vanessa O'Connor

10. Lisa Solomon

I have reserved the Lighthouse Point Yatch Club, Ballroom #2 for the party, as

was indicated on the invitations. The special events coordinator who is

arranging the food is Tina. What is the story with decorations and gifts? Did

Tracey tell you want she wanted, yet?

Let me know and I will talk to you soon.

Call me later this week.

Love ya,

Teresa

antivirale, l�Oseltamivir [nome commerciale Tamiflu, non ancora in

commercio in Italia]. Altre volte durante convegni sostenuti da

aziende farmaceutiche sono emerse notizie magari non false, ma

comunque orientate: lo scopo � sempre promuovere l�uso dei farmaci�.

� E mettersi a dieta di diete, no? � Attraverso uno studio sui topi,

il cui appetito � controllato da meccanismi molto simili a quelli

umani, gli scienziati diretti da Serge Luquet dell�Universit� di

Washington hanno scoperto che, priv�ti di alcuni neuroni, i roditori

smettono di mangiare e dimagriscono rapidamente.

� Ponte lungo, che si fa? � Provate a dare un�occhiata.

� una storia molto complicata. � una storia di spionaggio e bugie.

Dura da anni, dal settembre del 2002. E� il caso Plame-Rove-Libby.

Partiamo dagli ultimi fatti: l�inchiesta, perch� in un paese civile

che si fonda sulla giustizia si fanno i processi senza che a chi li

conduce venga contestato di muoversi per chiss� quali altri motivi se

non la ricerca della Giustizia stessa, dicevo l�inchiesta porta sino

al braccio destro della Casa Bianca, nella persona di Dick Cheney.

Subito sotto di lui Lewis �scooter� Libby (a capo del Gabinetto del

Vice Presidente) si dimette, con cinque imputazioni molto pesanti a

suo carico (quali la menzogna reiterata, spergiuro, produzione di

falsa documentazione) nel futuro pi� roseo possibile. E� da precisare

che non compare fra queste l�accusa di aver rivelato l�identit� di un

agente segreto di fatto �bruciandolo�, il che � reato federale. Se vi

steste chiedendo che cosa � successo per�, siate pronti, dovete

liberare la testa e seguirmi. Ma soprattutto smetterla di pensare che

sia la trama di un telefilm di spionaggio. Tutte le persone coinvolte

in ci� che vi sto raccontando stanno subendo quantomeno forti

pressioni, altri come ho detto, affronteranno un processo, altre

ancora hanno passato qualche mese in prigione. Non c�� niente di

paranoico, niente di fanta-politica.
