Thank you Max for an interesting lecture.
Thanks Max.
Thanx a lot
I really liked the presentation. Thank you Sir Max.
Thanks Max!
good discussion sir max...
excellent! i am now preparing with day 3 prsentation...
thanks to all...bye...
great lecture sir max...interesting...
i am now on slide 18 of sir max discussion....
almost finishing...great sir max
i am now on slide 12 discussion of sir max...
i am now on slide 3 of the lesson...
i've just downloaded the presentation slides of day 2 class lesson...
good evening sir!
here i am again for day 2 class lesson of basic industrial control...
Thanks Max & Alex
Great sesion, Thank you
FPGA plus ARM or PIC is flexibility and low cost. uCU as a compute brain control and FPGA is just traffic interface.
Hi from OR
There are systems that tolerate chaotic behavior. Humans create quite a lot of chaos by starting jobs in the wrong order and using the wron materials -- for example. Then there are machine breakdowns, power loss and material problems. Systems that channel this chaotic behavior and return the system to a "known" state are the next generation.
How do you compare controller based automation to PC-based automation (using real-time operating system)
What is the main difference between PLC and PAC?
FPGA's are commonly developed in a coding language (e.g. Verilog / VHDL) which brings up it's own discipline and issues similar to embedded coding with 'C'. Schematic level entry was done away with long ago it seems. This makes LabView graphical programming seem more attractive. Not to diminish the power and capability of FPGA's at all.
Open loop control sounds dangerous, though I understand the simple washing machine example.
Still, sensors are employed (as simple inputs) to determine "lid open", "water level" and such like. We could also hypothesize the boundary condition failure mechanisms in terms of a stalled motor that burns out the drivers, 'a sock in the drain pump motor' and such like. Perhaps it depends on the definition of "open loop" and what 'feedback' vs. 'input sensing' one is talking about ...
process feedback on slide 14: would fuzzy logic (simple thresholding) statement state machine be an implementation option ??
Good presentation, I would prefer to see, rather than hear some of the additional information, for example:
* Slide with "machine process level" -- each topic (conditioning, HMI, Motor control ... safety and security etc) should have its own slide with sub-bullets (rather than verbal mention)
* slide 16 - more detailed (show on slide - input signal types, output types, feedback signals, and locations of process and control elements
* slide 17 -- bullet the spoken info in terms of types of linear systems* slide 18 -- bullet sample non-linear problems / applications on slide
Looking forward to how this evolves in future presentations ...
Thanks, Max, another very good lecture. You mention Linear and Non-Linear in your last two slides. Do any control situations arise where the transfer function is non-monotonic? It would seem to me that that would be a horrific interface....
Thanks. Brings back some memories of working in chemical process control in the 70's.
At that time and that company, there was a mixture of relay logic, NorPak (Allen Bradley?), and Digital Equipment PDP-8 and PDP-11 controllers. I remember helping an engineer program in a language known as Boole, where ladder diagram segments were the printed output documentation (to help electricians troubleshoot the systems) for the boolean statements we were writing.
Hello al
thanks again.
Another well done presentation.
Slides are good too.
good point
hi everyone
Great presentation, Max!
@Max: Good one! But.....'We never use "student" systems, but just dive into the end item design and flog the employees till its done!' was typed by "Island_AI" and not me. Yeah, there can be confusions when many are responding at the same time. Anyway, looking forward to another great session tomorrow.
Bye everyone. e-C U tomorrow
Thank you Max!
Thanx and tchau, Max!
OK -- I really have to run or I'll be late for my son's school =-- C U tomorrow
@Ranjitha "@Max: I think you meant to respond to Island_Al"
I was responding to him -- I was just suggesting that your company be in charge of the floggings:-)
Cn someone tell me how to answer to a specific post?
@I don't even think Altera and Xilix are "makers" of FPGA.
Well -- they don;t own their own foundry -- but they are in charge of designing them -- I know a guy at Xilinx who hand-crafts the masks (well, portions of them) used to create the chips...
@Max: I think you meant to respond to Island_Al
I don't even think Altera and Xilix are "makers" of FPGA.
@When I say die, we spent several thou on early Altera, 10 years ago or more, now it is scrap.
I'm sure they are very sorry -- but I will chastise them soundly the next time I talk to them - -maybe we can hand this over to Ranjitha who can be incharge of th eflogging party :-)
There is also another article "Cover story: Balancing PLCs, PACs, IPCs " at www.controleng.com just do a search for topic from yahoo or other
@ The difficult problem is to figure out which technology will die.
The answer is all of them -- I think you mean "which will die sooner rather than later" :-)
When I say die, we spent several thou on early Altera, 10 years ago or more, now it is scrap.
MAX: what makes an FPGA maker better than another? You may want to discourse about the best 3 players.
Fieldbus also belongs to family of industrial protocols. It has replaced conventional wiring(not completely).
OK -- I'm sorry to have to run -- but I'm expected at my son's high school to discuss his courses for next year -- I hope to see you all again tomorrow when we will cover really cool stuff like Genetic Algorithms :-)
The difficult problem is to figure out which technology will die.
Do a net Search for "Inside machines: PC vs PLC: Comparing control options" Very good article at www.controleng.com website
@Ranjitha "We never use "student" systems, but just dive into the end item design and flog the employees till its done!"
I think I used to be one of those employees :-)
If you plan on playing with FPGA development boards, you might also want to check out which books on Amazon support which boards...
FPGA: Hardware or Software: Today, with Flash memory to store a matrix of logic flow (another way of referring to s software in memory) there is no difference between a software based systems and a digital electronic, for the program in memory is just another way of weaving the interconnection of more basic digital fabric, perhaps deisigned with even discrete gates. :o)
Personally I woudl say Industrial Ethernet ... there's also ControlNet and DeviceNet .... and Modbus, Profibus, EtherCAT...
Thanks Max for your answers to my questions. As of now, the thought is FPGA programming aspect to be software and once it is locked (assuming you decouple the on the fly reprogramming) as hardware.
It gets more interesting when you look at a company like Impulse Accelerated Computing (ImpulseC.com) who have a C-to-RTL (think "C-to-FPGA") compiler - -their inpout is ANSI standard C (they have a library of fumctions they've created you can use also)
What is the most popular standard communication protocol used in industrial controls? out of 50 protocols you mentioned?
Lattice FPGA Development Kit USD49 for everyone:
Thanks Max. Great refresher.
Thank you
@JM When would you consider an FPGA to be hardware vs. software?
That's such a tricky one -- let's make sure we all understand how thsi usually goes. You start with RTL like Verilog or VHDL that describes a hardware function -- then you use synthesis to conver tthsi into a gate-level netlist that gets loaded into the FPGA. The thing is that you roriginal RTL can include the code that describes a soft processor core, which you can then us eto execure conventional programs... so you tell me ... where do we draw the line?
Cheap FPGA developement board was posted by RMilewicz:
Digilent Basys™2 Spartan-3E FPGA Board USD49 for US students
This is a nice $50 to $80 board depending on whether you are student or teacher or just hobbyist
Thanks Max, good series
We never use "student" systems, but just dive into the end item design and flog the employees till its done!
Re the questions of wher eto get cheap FPGA development boards -- check out Altera and Lattice Semiconductor and Xilinx websites
When would you consider an FPGA to be hardware vs. software?
BTY, i'll have a look at all of the helpful links and sources for FPGA development later today. Thanks.
Thanks for one more great lecture!
@Ranjintha "Would you be discussing Distributed Control systems (DCS) and their comparision with the PLCs?"
I'm sure I will :-)
Thanks Max for another entertaining and worthwhile session today. See all tomorrow.
thanks all
@Jim "what is your thought on dual core FPGA for diverisity?"
The thing about an FPGA is that you can program multiple soft cores into it (literally thousands of 8-bit cores or 10s of 32-bit cores -- and then we have devices that contain one or two hard cores...
@slk- the evals systems Ive seem appear to be very limited overall.
Thx Max
thank you.
Thanks you
Thanks Alex and Max
Thanks, everyone. Max will be on here in a sec.
@Alexander Wolfe - You asked good questions. Your questions are the same questions we here in the audience have.
Would you be discussing Distributed Control systems (DCS) and their comparision with the PLCs?
Excellent presentation
I wish you hadore time to atlk.
Thanks Clive, for the information
@slk- Altera seems to be a lot of bucks, micros or controllers are cheap.
@stev@HA - Micrium has undergone a stringent approval process to qualify their credentials. Some applications that are safety critical or medically critical require these certifications, and Micrium is one of those RTOSs available.
@krhohio - NFPA = National Fire Protection Association
great idea about MCU. they seem to be the pocket version of the simple computers back then. OK, the ZX81 could fit into a pocket, but the old trash 80 is a lot bigger.
what is your thought on dual core FPGA for diverisity?
Yes You are right. ASICs are replaced with FPCA of late
@Ran: If you're an Apple, IBM, etc the quantity price (100K) of ASIC's is much less over the life of the product.
@ Island_Al - most of the time no
@luizcosta - Thanks.
dan, we _can_ go back: scrap the desktops and go program MCUs :-)
Do not FPGAs take much longer (and high cost) to develop in a one off application?
@snandu13 & danlafleur - the chipest fpga board I bought was 150$
Scalability costs PAC vs PLC
s.schmiedl, you can't go back. I miss the time when we could understand every part of these simple machines. I did put together a forth interpreter/compiler under CPM on a TRS80 I, such a long time ago.
Earlier, someone asked why an expensive ASIC would be used when FPGAs are so much less expensive. Did that question ever get answered?
This question was answered yesterday: DEPENDS ON THE SCALE OF PRODUCTION: ASICS FOR MILLIONS AND FPGA FOR THOUSANDS. THIS IS ONLY THE CURRENT SCENARIO. IN THE FUTURE IT MIGHT CHANGE DEPENDING ON MARKET FORCES.
Earlier, someone asked why an expensive ASIC would be used when FPGAs are so much less expensive. Did that question ever get answered?
@snandu13 - none
Grey area differences PLC vs PACs
One one corner had a bunch of out of service robots meant initially to shuttle the parts around
@danlafleur: The one thing I regret from my teens is not buying the FORTH ROM for that thing... it would have rocked with the 16 kB RAM extension that I had :-)
Which is the company that gives 50 dollar FPGA dev Board?
older systems, typical 120VAC high power, as compared to 24VDC systems low power and interfacing costs with really put price rise to installations
And some factories are both at the same time.
I once visited the remmington arms factory in ilion NY
One section was older with dark alleys the other section was
bright with a bunch of programmable CNC machines
Max, this is a great way to introduce folks to control systems (industrial control in particular). A simple but generic way to put the students in perpective of the current real world context.
I'll look at avnet.
Biggest issue is integration of pre 1980s technology to new systems
@danlafleur - avnet
great lecture, thanks...
ProfiSafe, ASisafe Siemens technology, or even Safety rated PLCs with passcoded locks
wow, someone else remembers a zx81! I still haver mine.
Thank you for today's lecture
Great session, thanks Max, Alex, and Frank
slk, thanks, available at digikey i think.
Move to Integated safety systems with Basic process control system - Same communications backbone
Anyone in Northern California online? Not Silicon Valley IT-specific...
@danlafleur - there are a lot for xilinx chips.
@Max: What would be the "Sinclair ZX81" of FPGAs in todays market? Affordable for hobbyist, not too complex, but still able to produce something really useful.
Doing this series as a former naval officer with test officer experience, with little formal systems engineering training. B.S. History with minor in general engineering. Looking to create robotic manufacturing in support of U.S. re-shoring movement.
Thanks Max
thank you Max,
I may count the number of times "FPGA" was mentioned in this session. A side effect is that I'm going to look for an inexpensive FPGA developer's kit.
Need for programming via HMIuser-interface to define various control function blocks. Requirement for Object linking
Thanks Max, excellent presentation
Thank you for a great session!
thanks Max
Great session today - thanks Max!
Thanks Max and Alex..
Max , Do you find that most of your work in controls today is MIMO or is there still a lot of work in SISO (classical) control systems?
thanks Max, good lecture
Indiana Jones:-)
Thanks for listening everyone
and FPGAs
y = ax5 + bx4 cx3 dx2 ex1 f
amoung others
@kenstan -
From a hardware perspective, circuit components can be selected for considerations of temperature (high or low temps), humidity, shock, vibration, etc. The design engineer will choose components for his/her design accordingly and test the design accordingly. Any certification agencies will also test the design as needed. Testing the design will be done with ovens, vibration tables and other such means.
y = mx + b
"Computed torque" is an amazing control system.
Is anyone using GPGPU's for robotics?
I think that the "PIC" line of MCU is targeted for industrial control.
Open loop is a manual control system, the communication between the output and controller is disconnected.
are there specialised MCU or DSP for this industrial control? that can withstand harsh environment
@KevinJam: Bravo!
Design elements of a control system;
Define control objectives - operational objectives control system required to achieve; Ensure process stability, external disturbance suppression, optimizing plant economic performance.
Selecting measurements - variable measurements to monitor operational performance; primary variables for direct measurement and/or secondary variables upon which inference is derived
Select Manipulated variables / that which the controller must directly adjust to achieve process control
Select Control Configuration- Information structure used to connect available measurements to available manipulated variables. General configurations include Feedback control, Inferential control, feedforward control
Controller design: Control Law to be implemented by the controller is defined
As long as it still washes your clothes
@kenstan: cost effectiveness; open loop systems are cheap, if it is something that you don't really need a feedback system for
@clia - No problem. I think everyone gets the idea.
Can you please repeat the generic standard for industrial control systems?
@Ran: No, you had it right. I posted after excusing myself, but it didn't make it up here
what is the importance of the open loop system?
feed forward/feed back control?
@clia - Thanks for that refinement.
National Electrical Code
I'm sorry, i meant NEC standards
National Fire Prevention Association
What is NFPA?
Canbus: vehicle bus standard system
Cambus: standard bus vehicle system
What about NFPA standards?
Emergency Shutdown systems, Burner detection systems, Fire and Gas system are some examples of safety systems.
DSP appears great for upgrades to analog devices interfaces ??
robotic up rise, biggest bs ever.............
http://10rem.net/blog/2012/02/24/the-6502-processor-today has an "eye-shot" of the terminator
Dont forget the Matrix
haha, and robocop ran on dos,,,
Sheldon: another android
Ha Ha!
terminator ran on a 6502, IIRC :-D
@ JM Ashcraft It's available there: Embedded Design Using Programmable Gate Arrays
Is Max talking about literal machine vision, or are we including the greater degree of sensitivity in sensors today?
@danlafleur: mechatronics, yes!
Same here
how it's made is a great show. i'm usually amazed at the engineering behind machines that make machines
Slide 8
For FPGA dev on Verilog, I'll say "Embedded Design Using Programmable Gate Arrays" Dennis Silage is a good lecture.
what slide
@ JM Ashcraft - for fpga go to xilinx or altera and chek their tutorials, etc
caa028, no, haven't seen the show, but will check it out. thanks.
@danlafleur - re stockpiles of stuff... seen "Doomsday preppers" on nat geo? (http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/doomsday-preppers/)
literature...my bad
What makes uCOSIII ideal for safety critical systems?
ooops 7 now
slide 6
Max, do you have any recommendation for literiture on FPGA's
Hi. Sorry, I am late; what slide are we on?
@ danlafleur: Ha Ha! Yeah, my fridge is overflowing, but that is real estate that I already own and cannot shrink down. I was referring more to the large warehouse type of situation: if your stock can be shrunk, and therefore your rent/warehousing costs, I am for it. But, neglecting that, I agree with you on the lack of reliability of delivery systems on occasion.
delivery system works, supply chain is dry for many parts used in the mechanical/hydraulics sector
FPGA allow fixed time computation, garanteed task delay.
good day all
clia, I tend to agree about stock piles of stuff... until the elivery system breaks down for any one of a number of reasons. my pantry is very well stocked.
or the price to have large stock piles of inventory
You have to question the wisdom in keeping large stock piles of inventory in todays market.
"Playlist Error!" Reload did not work.
page number at bottom of slide is great improvement
It looks like we are going into more detail with it today, though.
I remember seeing this slide yesterday... daja vu ?
Audio wasn't working until I reloaded- glad the hint has been posted in the past.
Student version is, at any rate
I know Xilinx is limited to how many inputs you can model
dual core arm processors - cool!
FPGA are starting to be used in nuclear industry (safety systems)

I still can't dance or sing quite like she can but what I CAN do is pretend like I'm as cool as her makeup artist and copy the look. ;]
Here's BoA's music video "Game" from her just-released album Hurricane Venus.
And here is my version of the look:
Sorry about the bad lighting. It was actually daytime when I started recording but I ran into a few roadblocks along the way during recording and by the time I finished the cicadas were roaring outside and it was pretty much time for bed. ;3
If you noticed the change in editing style, it's because I completed this on my new Macbook Pro using iMovie! I know you probably don't care but I didn't type out all the products during the video since it was a lot of extra editing steps and I don't know if people actually read them. I also talked through the video which I still kind of suck at! Haha. I just want to test a few different ways of recording and editing so if you have any feedback, please do let me know what you prefer to see. ^.^
Her and me. Me and she.
Products used in this look:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
L'Oreal HIP Crayon in Black
MAC Carbon Eyeshadow
NYX Jumbo Shadow Pencil in Cottage Cheese
NYX Ultra Pearl Eyeshadow in White Pearl
MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
Coastal Scents Cosmetic Glitter Powder in Crystal Teal
Pretty and Cute Glamour Lash in #048
Pretty and Cute Glamour Lash in #077
Covergirl Lash Exact Mascara
Rock & Republic Contrived Pressed Blush in Tease
Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in 070 Soft Nude
Lioele Blooming Gloss in Vanilla Pink
And just because I can, here is an overdose of inspired silliness.
Those with keen eyes may notice that I popped in my black Geo ck-109 lenses to try to get BoA's super black eyes. This was a fail, but an interesting effect nonetheless. I think the lenses actually balance the cray cray of the look in general.
I do also want to update you guys on my Pretty and Cute coupon code. Previously you could get a free Lioele mirror but I was concerned that a lot of you already have the mirror now, so I wanted to update my code so you could get something else fresh with your orders. I talked with Janie and we decided on a free Pretty & Cute foundation brush with a P&C order of $35! I do have one myself and it's very nice quality (much softer and higher quality in my opinion than the Sigma one that I tried and hated).
OK, I think that's everything. I hope you have a good weekend! As for me, I have a Hanson concert to see. I will not be wearing this look to it lest I scare the long, blonde hair off their heads. It could happen.

Michael Havasy arrived at the URS Center for the Arts for the Aiken County School District's Spelling Bee Monday – without any expectation of winning a first-place trophy, an iPad and a $100 gift card to the Apple Store.
Heck, the North Augusta Middle School sixth-grader had no expectation of taking part in the contest at all. Michael showed up as the Group 3 alternate from the Group 3 area in North Augusta. When one of the students didn't arrive, he stepped it and "I was hoping for that," Michael said.
His victory was aired live on the Aiken Standard's ASTV 95 on Atlantic Broadband. Repeats will appear over the coming weeks and also will be shown on aikenstandard.com.
Michael edged out runner-up Kaylee Westbrook, a fifth-grader from East Aiken School of the Arts. Kaylee had her own contingent at the event – her family, Principal Lisa Fallaw and other educators and staffers. All of them enthusiastically hugged her afterward, noting she'll have another three years to compete in the contest.
And how did Kaylee react to settling for second place?
"Oh dadgummit," she said and burst into giggles. She missed the word "disparage," throwing in an extra letter.
"I would have done that too," Michael said graciously.
He had to spell two other words correctly to win the Bee. As it turned out, the selected words amusingly proved quite appropriate for the situation – "anxiety" and "predicament."
But Michael handled the words comfortably, as "I knew how to spell them."
As the county winner, he'll move on to the regional Spelling Bee in Augusta, sponsored by the Augusta Chronicle. Michael got lots of hugs from his mom, Carol Havasy.
"I didn't come expecting this," she said. "It's just wonderful."
The county Spelling Bee is sponsored annually by URS and Savannah River Remediation. Kaylee also won the $100 gift card to the Apple Store. All 12 competing students also received a $100 gift card to Books-A-Million – handed out by Dean Campbell, public affairs director at SRR.
Dr. Beth Everitt, the Aiken County School District superintendent, presented certificates to the children. Melissa Hanna, the Aiken Standard's executive editor, gave Michael and Kaylee their trophies.
"It's a fun night," Everitt said before the competition began. "There's a lot of time in (the students') going over the lists. To the school staffs, thank you for continuing this tradition. It's a wonderful place to showcase smart students."
URS and SRR appreciate the opportunity to help sponsor the event, Campbell said. SRR provides cleanup efforts at the Savannah River Site, and "We need smart folks to grow up and work for us."
Hanna said the Bee promotes the value of spelling and grammar.
"I didn't fully understand how important they are until I got into journalism," she said.
The other 10 competitors were as follows:
• Group 1 – Julian Salas and Victoria Hill, both from Aiken Elementary School.
• Group 2 – Amy Herring, North Augusta Elementary School.
• Group 3 – Colton Shealy, Midland Valley Prep; Megan Schar, Gloverville Elementary School.
• Group 4 – Landon Thornton, Aiken Middle School; Niyah Swinger, North Aiken Elementary School.
• Group 5 – Tyriq Carey and Christopher Holley, both from Greendale Elementary School.
• Group 6 – Jada Johnson, Millbrook Elementary School.
The Spelling Bee coordinator, Charlie Tyler, also served as the word pronouncer. He was surprised that so many 5th-graders qualified for the county finals – finishing ahead of middle-schoolers through 8th-grade.
The words are determined by the E.W. Scripps Company. Tyler again didn't expect to see such challenging words so quickly.
"There's usually an increase in difficulty as we get to later rounds," he said. "These seemed difficult from the get-go. It's always interesting to see the selection of words."

Here is a photo of the couple that I mentioned yesterday, Ern (Henry Ernest Nye) in the middle and Doll (Emily Nye) on the right.
The woman on the left is Kate Trower, the wife of my 2x great-uncle Percy Ebenezer Trower and the sister of Emily Nye. The photo was taken in July 1950, almost certainly by Percy, in Rochester, Kent.
Both women were the daughters of John and Emily Standing. Just to make things a little more complicated another of their daughters, Beatrice Standing, was the second wife of my great-grandfather Henry John Trower.

This doesn't even feel like a nba game. The clippers play completely different on national t.v. It's like what team is this? It seems so fake.
Should be playing inside more, missing jumpers all night isn't going to win this game.....
Best thing about these losses is that I always have these loyal clippers fans here to cheer me up. Seriously though, I'm looking forward to when Curry breaks his ankle and Bogut ends up with a dangling arm again. Even without those this GS team ain't doing **** in the playoffs. Just a heated fan's opinion
You nailed it
We have too many mentally weak players on this team who are scared when it's time to play rivals and/or on national television against good teams.
Barnes & Dudley have a combined 2 pts and 3 rebounds. Great job guys
So negative. This is the 2nd time gsw got us on a back to back. The one time we didn't have a back to back we smoked them. This is what I call a schedule loss
The back-to-back excuse is bogus. This is an extremely important game and we didn't show up. We can't write off every single loss to a good team as the schedule. Other teams are capable of winning on the 2nd night of a back to back, seems like we're the only ones using it as a crutch.
Alright I modify JJ should just catch and shoot rest of the game. Don't dribble, pass, or anything.
This game has been painful to watch
What about 9 games in 9 different cities?
Wheres Hollins? Let him give a couple of hard foul
Is there a reason why blake hasn't attempted like any field goals this quarter
So back to back means nothing????
We won in most of those cities, we can't use that as an excuse now for a loss.
We haven't had a quality win since early December. That's really not a good sign in all honesty.
man i f***** hate GS
This is so depressing
This team breaks my heart. I hate that they lose every game expected to lose
Green shoot it why throw it up? Doc needs to use a ten day on a big what the hell happen to Hollins?
People not thinking the Grammy trip would drain any team are insane.
Damn we scored 11 in the 3rd
This board just attracts negative "Fans" lol...
debating whether to watch the 4th because I don't think it can get worse than that 3rd quarter, and then feel better once it's all said and done, or just give up now.
That obviously escalated quickly in the 3rd quarter, lol
We came back from 17pts with about 5 min left against Dallas. We still have a very small chance to win this.
Think we can call it a night, there is no way you can win with no D and no O lol
A lot of the newer fans are angry because they are so use to winning. The would have killed themselves a few years ago lol
Hopefully this urges Doc to get this team refocused on defense. He made a bunch of excuses while we were winning but the d has been a issue.
Blake not getting any touches? Why? Our Guards can't get him the ball because of turnovers. Its depressing ,but it was likely to happen. WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE
Dude, STFU and stop trying to lecture everyone. We're getting embarrassed in a must-win game on national TV yet again, against a hated rival. If you want to be a homer, fine, but don't get all offended when other people call it like it is.
Though this game doesn't mean much in the standings, I just really wanted to see this win. Gotta start pullin wins up for these teams that play cerebral ball.......
Maybe your right. I remember when Clippers fans thought
we were going to the championship even though we were 20-30 lol.
9 games in 9 different cities in only 13 days is going to be difficult for any team.
Blake only has 2 rebounds. Crazy
2 rebounds for Blake? Cmon
Every divisional game means something in the standings. We also just gave the Warriors confidence when they had hit a rough patch.
Lol, back to back on the road against Golden State with CP out is a hard game to win no matter how we slice it. Games like these are where you see the get down early, make then first effort to come back, but can't make the second effort to get back in it.
Yes, you can win in back to backs, but it certainly is more difficult later in the season and depending on what happened before that eg: road trip. We beat the Raptors on a back to back, though of course they were also on one. Back to back without one of your too 2 players after a long road trip though, it takes away that little extra needed against a good team.
I wouldn't call this a must win.... Especially in January
Been a fan since 1986 I'm just tired of this team getting zero respect that's all , good nite my clipper fans , will get them next time !!
Your a troll... Saying a first round exit is calling it like it is? GTFOH. You're not even a cliippers fan. You're a troll who has signed up to talk mess.
I'm well aware that we used to suck, I sat through the bad years. Guess what - expectations have changed and this isn't good enough.
DJ didn't even try to set decent screens for J.J. throughout the game. He barely moved his body at all lol. There was no effort.
*edit* J.J. had to force a lot since there was lackluster effort from the team.
This is a terrible game, but don't think this affects us moving forward. We've been on a tear lately without CP3, and this is the second game of a back to back on the road.
Sure, we could be playing harder on national TV, but I'll let this one slide. Let's see how they respond in the next one.
Balanced out some people left or limit post because we started winning and traded guys.
Respect is earned by beating good teams and having playoff success. We haven't done the former since early December and we've never really done the latter.
Luckily we're up six games in the division
Not to mention we aren't playing with CP3. People seem to forget that.
This game doesn't show anything but a team playing without
their franchise player.
Blake choking hardcore this half
We still have Blake, JJ, and our supposed "All-Star, DPOY, most improved" center. Not having CP3 hasn't stopped us from winning other games.
I look at it as :
Wow. We scored 11 after going 1 for 15 from the field.

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
Food producers and food buyers had the chance to network Friday and Saturday at the fifth annual Homegrown Food Retreat at Fort Lewis College�s Student Union.
Producers from La Plata and Montezuma counties as well as from New Mexico attended various workshops and other events with Durango-area food buyers and �eaters,� said Katy Pepinsky, director of Growing Partners of Southwest Colorado, the event�s organizer.
Growing Partners is an alliance of agencies and people working together to support a fair, sustainable local food system that reaches all incomes, ages and cultures, according to its website.
Participants included �diverse meat and vegetable producers,� as well as local restaurants and even people who �are passionate about where their food comes from,� Pepinsky said.
She said Growing Partners received a two-year grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture�s Agricultural Marketing Service to connect farmers with local buyers. Those buyers can include restaurants, grocery stores and others.
Keynote speaker for both days was Steve Warshawer, a farmer and enterprise development coordinator for the La Monta�ita Cooperative Distribution Center in Albuquerque. La Monta�ita is similar to Durango Natural Foods Coop, with five retail locations.
Warshawer, who also owns Beneficial Farm CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) near Santa Fe, on Saturday discussed barriers to extending the reach of local food and led a panel discussion about local food distribution. Other panelists included Jama Crawford of Shared Harvest, Sara Wakefield of Manna Soup Kitchen, Linley Dixon of Adobe House Farm and CSA, Joshua Jackson of Durango Natural Foods and Evert Oldham of USDA Rural Development. Jim Dyer of Healthy Community Food Systems was the panel�s facilitator.
Late morning and afternoon breakout sessions were divided into those for �eaters� and those for producers and buyers.
Among the �eaters� meetings was one led by Dyer, and Kelsey Reeder also told attendees about �Eating Local and Sustainable Year-Round.�
The FLC Environmental Center Food Team then offered a workshop titled �How to Become a Local Food Advocate and throw a Rocking Dinner Party in One Fell Swoop.�
After the catered lunch, Minna Jain explained how to get into backyard beekeeping, and Frank LeBeau of The Garden Project of Southwest Colorado discussed improving growing soil.
Meanwhile, producers and buyers Saturday had the chance to attend a session on the farmer-chef connection, presented by Growing Partners, as well as a food-safety session with Beth LaShell of Old Fort at Hesperus.
A final producer-buyer session looked at how the Mesa Verde Guide could support local distribution, led by Dyer and Jenny Wren of Healthy Community Food Systems.
Additional information is available from Growing Partner�s website at www.growingpartners.org.

I've got a 3 month old female retriever having trouble doing even basics. Our last dog was a male and did a great job. I was told by a few other dog people that training female's is a lot harder. Well, although it may not be true, Im having a heck of a time. I don't really ever get down on her and never even swatted her bottom or anything like that but as soon as I tell her NO! or something like that she gets really down and goes and sits in the corner without coming over to me, even avoiding me for up to a half hour or so. Almost like she is angry with me for telling her no, like a child. I strapped a leash to her today to let her walk around and drag it to get use to the feeling on her collar and she didn't leave my side and was shaking like crazy. Any one have any ideas for me? I have taken my time with everything, slower than I would think to even progress but she is very "moody" and its causing issues with even simple obedience commands because she gets down and is done for the day. Help! Running out of ideas!

Are you using a puppy program. I.e. Merten's Sound Beginnings? You aren't actually doing Basics now at least you shouldn't be. Actual basics don't start until 5-6 months. Puppy Basics are totally different. You want to be introducing things, having fun and building confidence in your pup. Too much discipline too early and you can do damage. Obviously you are teaching right from wrong but not heavily handed at this point.
I strongly advise you get Sound Beginnings so you go thru the right steps to help encourage the pup to get back on track. I have seen dogs do what you are saying. Some are more inclined to do that due to genetics but most were the result of the trainers demeanor.
Good luck

Thanks Tim! Yes, I am using sound beginnings. I am just doing pretty much what she is on the video, treats as a reward a few fun bumpers and call her back.... just fun things but as soon as you say NO or anything like that, she is done.... Ill keep trying. Thanks!

I would suggest you heap on the praise whenever it applies in hopes to build her confidence. I normally don't do so but in your case you need to get over this hump. Today's training methods allow for soft dogs to be trained successfully so don't worry too much. Were either the pup's parents soft?
The pups in good hands with regards to the training material which is very important. Keep doing what Jackie says to do and keep us posted. Best of luck

Interesting post, I myself have an 11 month old yellow female and is the first female I've trained. Though I'd guess only a coincidence, my female is much "softer" than my males ever were. I've found that very positive reinforcement has been the key to this dog and even a harsh "No!" will make her melt to the floor. What works for me in this situation, is to move (even just a few steps) to refocus her attention on the task and boom- she's golden! I certainly agree that since your pup is much younger than mine, your primary focus needs to be on introductions and building a relationship of familiarity and trust-good luck!

Coloradans now can add another consideration to choosing health-insurance plans besides cost alone: Which one will do a better job of keeping you healthy?
Ratings now are available that will let customers know how different insurance plans stack up when it comes to ensuring their health. The data measure factors such as controlling high blood pressure and blood sugar, up-to-date immunizations and providing patients the correct drugs after they experience a heart attack.
This year in Colorado, Kaiser Permanente of Colorado has garnered one of the highest rankings in the nation. Rocky Mountain Health Plans, on the Western Slope, also has come in with high rankings.
The performance measurements � such as for blood pressure and blood sugar � were chosen because they count things �that science says is good care,� said Andy Reynolds, vice president of the National Committee for Quality Assurance, a nonprofit organization that produces one of the rankings. The organization accredits and publishes the data that insurance companies have agreed to track and make public as an attempt to improve quality.
The ratings, which mainly cover HMOs and PPOs rather than traditional fee-for-service insurance plans, are useful as numerous employers and Medicare are asking clients to choose a health plan in the coming weeks, with a deadline of Dec. 7.
Medicare is going so far during this year�s enrollment period as to encourage half a million clients nationwide to drop the lowest-rated plans and switch to high-rated ones on its five-star scale. In Colorado, Medicare is recommending the two Today�s Options plans be dropped from Pyramid Life Insurance/Universal American Corp.
If people do switch to higher-rated plans, �they will be healthier,� said Dr. Glenn Gade, chief of geriatrics for Kaiser Permanente of Colorado.
Kaiser is ranked as the only five-star Medicare Advantage health plan in the state. It also is the top-ranked health plan in Colorado for people of all ages and one of the highest rated in the country on the quality assurance group�s ratings.
NCQA ranks Kaiser Permanente of Colorado sixth out of 508 plans nationwide, and Kaiser also has garnered top ratings by Medicare.
So what�s the difference in a high-ranked plan? The entire system is geared toward making sure that measures of quality are met. For example, at Kaiser, 82 percent of patients with high blood pressure have it under control, Gade said. The national average is just 46 percent, according to the Million Hearts campaign.
Controlling blood pressure to less than 140/90 is important because �it reduces stroke and heart attack and kidney disease,� Gade said. �It�s one of the most important things you can do to save lives.�
Kaiser has an electronic medical-records system that alerts doctors like Gade every month with the names of his patients who need to be called in for a blood pressure check, mammogram or other routine care.
�They don�t fall through the health-care system and get lost,� he said.
Kaiser, a combination insurer and health provider, serves the Front Range, having recently moved into Fort Collins and Loveland. It is adding an office in Greeley in 2014.
On the Western Slope, Rocky Mountain Health Plans has been top-ranked for Medicare Advantage, with 4.5 stars.
Even entering into the organization�s accreditation and ranking system is a major step for insurers because �you are signing on to let the world see your quality scores,� Reynolds said. NCQA�s rankings look at prevention, treatment and consumer satisfaction.
The rankers �even have secret shoppers� who call and check service on the telephone, Gade said.
