Hello all,
I'm looking for where I can get one of the stenciling machines shown in the smt tutorial http://learn.adafruit.com/smt-manufactu ... g-machines , I'm in the UK (but happy to get it from any place that will ship it too me!
I can find the simple ones easily, but none that have the tooling bits shown here: http://learn.adafruit.com/assets/193
I have managed to get a lot of preorders from my local hackspace for boards that are 100% smt, so I want to tool up well for it, so I would rather pay more for a more advanced machine like adafruit use, than one of the plane ones.
Anyone got any leads?

STANDPIPE SYSTEMS DESIGNS, operations, and flows vary widely. Unlike sprinkler systems, standpipe systems are not automatic fire suppression systems and cannot extinguish a fire without human intervention. A properly operating and maintained building standpipe system is a valuable tool when mounting an interior, offensive fire attack. In fact, in high-rise structures it may be impossible to conduct a safe and effective interior operation on upper floors if the standpipe system is inoperable.
The most common type of standpipe is the automatic wet standpipe system. A properly maintained and operating wet standpipe with an adequate water supply should immediately flow water when the discharge valve is opened at the point of service. In areas subject to freezing, dry standpipes may be used. They are usually filled with pressurized air or nitrogen that is purged before water flows into the system when the discharge valve is opened.
Automatic standpipe systems are more dependable than manual systems for several reasons. Manual systems rely on the fire department to supply water by way of a fire department connection, meaning the fire attack could be delayed. In addition, dry manual systems are more likely to have unknown damage, open valves, and open discharge caps.
High-rise buildings cannot have manual standpipe systems, which are allowed only in low-rise buildings. However, other buildings may have standpipe systems of varying types. For instance, newer big-box mercantile properties will often have a sprinkler system with a hose connection. These "hose drops" typically do not meet the same requirements as standpipe systems. When hose drops are attached to a sprinkler system, they must be accounted for in the hydraulic calculations, up to at least two inside hose connections. This requirement is intended to ensure that a fire line attached to the hose drop does not rob water from the sprinkler system.
When conducting pre-incident planning, it is important to include a study of the building's standpipe system that indicates whether the standpipe is equipped with any pressure-regulating devices and how those devices operate.
A common type of regulating device, the pressure reducing valve (PRV), controls the pressure at the outlet under flowing, as well as static, conditions. However, PRVs can be problematic during fire department operations, as evidenced by the One Meridian Plaza fire, a blaze in a high-rise office tower in Philadelphia in 1991 that killed three firefighters. At that fire, the PRVs were improperly set to reduce the pressure to a level that was ineffective for a fire attack.
Settings for these valves must take into account the hose diameter and nozzle types carried in firefighters' standpipe kits. Properly calculating pump pressure and elevation loss is also part of the procedure to deliver the right quantity of water at the right pressure throughout the system. For instance, buildings that are not equipped with PRVs generally have higher pressures on lower floors and lower pressures on higher floors.
Standpipe standard operating procedures address tasks to be performed and equipment to be carried into the building, and these procedures must be constantly reviewed. Successful standpipe operations dictate that training and standard operating procedures accurately reflect the information obtained through pre-fire planning.

Steps from the beach!

This is a great condo just steps from the beach! We absolutely loved being able to walk across the street and be on the beach. Condo comes with an umbrella and chairs to use which made relaxing on the beach even better. Condo building is quiet and laundry is just outside the front door. Thank you Dick and Nancy for the kind welcome gift and a lovely week at your condo! We'll definitely be back.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the accomodations...the kitchen was well equipped and my wife's comment was that she could have baked a cake there if she had wanted to...We really appreciated the quietness of the unit as well...although we realize we were not there in what is normally considered "high season"...This rental was a first for us....we have never done anything like this before...but after having the experience would definitely do it again...the only think we would have liked to have seen in the unit was a garbage disposal...

My test came back clean and hers came back with just about every drug under the sun.
My ex-wifes mother works for CPS as a supervisor and investigator, I never thought my ex-wife would hurt the kids until she told the judge to give the kids to foster in stead of me. Judge Elsworth gave me the kids and gave my ex-wife rehab.
That lit a fire under her she stated calling CPS and making false reports about me and my at this time girlfriend. CPS came out to the house and I sent them away saying you got to be crazy this is not a bad house and I am not a bad father, my children mean more to me than life I would do anything for my kids.
My ex-wife got remarried then 2 years later I did as well things were OK. Them my new-wife and I wanted to have a baby he was a love child we couldn't be more proud of any baby in the world.
My ex-wife started calling CPS again when my wife was pregnant in the hospital giving birth.
The CPS emergency workers showed up the day my new baby was born and took him saying he tested positive for drugs. It wasn't until court that we got to see the test results and the emergency workers lied the test were negative just as we were saying all along but they made us feel like we were shit and bad parents. How can people be this way for a paycheck.
It took us 6 months to get our child back after going through programs and parenting classes, drug classes even though we were clean.
Even after we were done with the programs CPS keeps putting us through hell making us test when ever they want we have to pee test in front of other people at least 3 times a week.
Let me tell you this the things they tell you about CPS is true. It doesn't have any bearing if you are clean or dirty CPS is going to say you are dirty just to keep getting funding for your programs I have proof of this and will show it to anyone, I started going to 2 labs to test after CPS starting telling me I was dirty. Both labs had two different answers, CDT the lab for CPS said I was dirty and ECO labs said I was clean. I showed these to the judge and he said improper service and didn't except
my evidence, How is that for your tax dollars at work?
1 year after I got my son back My ex-wife started calling CPS again doing the same thing and with the influence of her mother they took my children again. This time after all the programs I got them back in 3 months. Then about 6 months after I got my kids back I bought a guitar, I checked the serial number out and it was not stolen it seemed like I got a good deal. I put the guitar up for sale on Craigslist to sell it and the last owner saw it and said it was stolen and called the police.
The police showed and asked if I had a guitar for sale I had nothing to hide so I gave it to them.
They arrested me for 2 hours when they released me CPS showed up and took my kids drug tested me again I got to labs because I don'trust them now.
I went to court thinking this was going to be stupid and easy to beat, I the stupid one. The judge ordered the kids returned and not to hold them any longer. CPS said that is only a recommended order and they do not have to give the kids back if they do not want.
I called my sister who is a social worker and she said I should move because they want to keep my kids. I thought about it but didn't do it. Then my father in-law the place the kids were staying at called me up and said get your F in kids out of here I am sick of them. I thought I was on Mars.
He was tired and drinking and the kids were laughing in bed and he had to much. He told me if I didn't take the kids he was going to turn them into CPS.
I was so scared I didn't want to loose them to CPS for ever, with as long as I have been around CPS I know that is what they do not after getting them more than 2 times.
So I left my house and moved out of state.
CPS showed up at my house in Phoenix and lied to the police and said I wasn't related to the children and that I kidnapped them out of California, that is screwed up they wanted to see someone get hurt. They created this all of it and I was being made to be the bad guy.
What do people do when CPS targets them to loose their children. I am a good decent father and a good man who believes in treating everyone the way I expect to be treated. This should not be happening to me and my wife. Now they got my kids and plan to give them up for adoption.
I really am a very unhappy person now I love my children and they love me.

Sonoma County Board of Supervisors approves Rohnert Park casino deal
Published: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 1:42 p.m.
Sonoma County supervisors Tuesday unanimously approved a multimillion-dollar revenue-sharing agreement with the tribe that is building a casino next to Rohnert Park.
"What we have before us is certainly a really good outcome of negotiations for the county," said Supervisor David Rabbitt, whose 2nd District includes the 254-acre Wilfred Avenue casino site.
The vote came at a meeting that was as close to being celebratory as any to occur in public between a local government body and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria.
"This is historic," 5th District Supervisor Efren Carrillo said of a deal that guarantees Sonoma County at least $9 million annually to offset the project's impacts, plus up to $38 million more a year if the casino makes enough money.
Addressing the board, Graton Rancheria Vice Chairwoman Lorelle Ross said: "Thank you for working with our tribe nation-to-nation on an unprecedented agreement."
Ross said the deal established new ground from which she hoped the tribe and county could move forward "beyond the legacy of hurt and pain."
The casino, with a maximum of 3,000 slot machines, is projected to open next year. The tribe, which started work on the project in June, secured $850 million in new financing for it in August.
The negotiations stemmed from a deal that the county reached with Graton Rancheria in 2008 to negotiate payments to address its impacts. That agreement was struck by county officials who had concluded they could not legally stop the casino.
The tribe is to pay, for the first seven years of operation, 15 percent of its net earnings from gambling into a state fund. After seven years, that drops to 12 percent. Each year, the state will distribute money it collects to the county and Rohnert Park, which has its own 20-year, $200 million revenue-sharing contract with the tribe.
"This agreement we are seeing today sets a new standard in addressing local impacts from a casino," said 4th District Supervisor Mike McGuire.
There was a brief moment just before negotiations opened that put in question how amicable the talks would be. Tribal Chairman Greg Sarris accused a supervisor whom he would not name of putting out "misleading . . . inaccurate" information about the casino resort project and said he might not give more than the minimum required amount in mitigation money to the county.
That appears not to have happened. Instead, the deal foresees millions in additional payments that go beyond alleviating the casino's direct impacts.
For example, after required payments are made to Rohnert Park, the county and two state funds for other Indian tribes, the Graton Rancheria is to give up to $30 million a year more to the county for open space and parks projects, conservation and farming-related purposes.
After that, the deal says, up to $8 million a year is to go to the county's Indian Health Project and also other Sonoma County Indian tribes that do not have gambling operations.
Those eventualities are not guaranteed, of course, depending as they do entirely on the casino's earnings. Projections disclosed in June, in the state-tribal compact that gives the tribe the right to run a Las Vegas-style casino, were that it would net $418 million in gambling revenue by its seventh year.
However, the deal also includes unexpected protections. For example it includes a clause under which, if the state does not give money sent it by the tribe back to the county in a timely manner, the tribe will advance the county that money, up to $5.1 million a year for public safety, social services and and key transportation-related mitigations.
Supervisors highlighted that possibility.
"I absolutely trust that the tribe is trustworthy. My main concern is that the state will sit on these payments for a long time," Chairwoman Shirlee Zane said.
The contract also includes language allowing negotiations to be reopened if the county wants to reassess the impacts of the casino and a planned 200-room hotel.
And it stipulates that of the money the county is to get, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Sebastopol and Cotati are to share $416,000 a year for law enforcement, while county fire districts would split $1 million.
"It really is the best agreement in California," said Valerie Brown, the only current supervisor on the board when the tribe first announced its casino project and spurred years of angry opposition and fractious meetings involving residents, county officials and tribal members.
"It is a big commitment to this county," Brown, of the 1st District, said of the agreement inked Tuesday.
Like her colleagues, she gave the tribe considerable credit for the outcome, which provides the county with three to four times as much as it earlier had projected it would get.
"It wasn't because we said, 'We want it to happen,' " she said. "It was because the tribe said, 'We want it to happen.' "
The deal includes limited waivers of sovereignty by the tribe that open the door to legal recourse should differences arise over whether the parties are honoring the contract.
"If there was to be a disagreement with the tribe or we were to believe there was a breach . . . we'd have the ability to go to court or arbitration to enforce the agreement," County Counsel Bruce Goldstein said.
Goldstein also suggested the deal could end nearly a decade of tension between successive boards of supervisors and the tribe, which saw the casino as its only line to self sufficiency.
"I believe this is an opportunity to transform the relationship between the tribe and county," he said.
Some of the philosophical and practical groundwork had been laid for Tuesday's agreement in talks between the county and the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, who opened a casino above Geyserville in 2003.
In 2008, the county reached an agreement with the Dry Creek Rancheria under which the tribe would pay $100 million to the county over 12 years. But that took place in the context of multiple legal challenges by the county to the casino.
"That was quite a different picture," Dry Creek Rancheria Chairman Harvey Hopkins said Tuesday.
He was among leaders of several Indian tribes, including the Cloverdale Rancheria of Pomo Indians and the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians, who were on hand Tuesday to watch an event that they said signaled a step forward for county-Indian relations.
"This is good for everybody," Hopkins said. "It's a recognition that the tribal members and the county can work together."
McGuire, whose district includes the River Rock Casino, said his experience with the Dry Creek leadership illustrates the possibilities for the county's future relationship with the Graton Rancheria.
"Either Chairman Harvey Hopkins picks up the phone, or I pick up the phone and say, 'This is something we need to work with,' " he said.

Valuing the Unmarketable: An Ecological Approach to the Externalities Estimate in Fishing Activities

Abstract: In a rapidly changing world, sustainability, if it can be said to exist at all, is concept that has attained mythic status, often pursued and rarely reached. In order to improve our capability to cope with environmental problems, adopting an Ecosystem Approach has been suggested. One of the major challenges in the implementation of this new paradigm relates to control of externalities. The recognition and quantification of externalities is often cast as valuing the unmarketable, and there are several approaches that have been proposed. Here, we analyze the opportunity to "feed" the economic valuation with ecological concepts. From an ecological perspective, the energy required to sustain a biomass unit at a given trophic level (TL) is the same, whatever the species. We build on this central tenet of ecology to assess the value of a TL unit for each trophic position using fish market data. The results obtained were then used to assign a value to each species living in a given habitat, together with consideration of their ecological role within the community. Estimates of both natural capital and functional value were applied to assess the ecological impacts of mechanical clam harvesting versus the multi-species artisanal fishery in the Venice lagoon. Results are discussed in relation to possible contribution to the implementation of a different management strategy.

Hi All.. I was steered to this board by one of your members (erabbit) so I checked it out. Nice place! I'm from upstate NY and am a walleye nut! I do fish for other species on occassion, but mainly troll for open water walleye on Lake Erie or Ontario. This time of year I pound our local river for walleye out of my little 14 footer. Anyway.. thought I'd offer a brief intro. I'll be back on a regular basis and hopefully can offer or pick up some useful info and tips! Good Fishing, Sluggo (Chris)

William David Upshaw
This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2013) |
William David Upshaw (October 15, 1866 – November 21, 1952) served eight years in Congress (1919–1927), where he was such a strong proponent of the temperance movement that he became known as the "driest of the drys.".
He was born on October 15, 1866 and served as vice-president of the Georgia Anti-Saloon League in 1906 and played a major role in passage of state-wide prohibition in that state in 1907, making it the first dry state in the South. The defense of prohibition was a major factor in the establishment of the second Ku Klux Klan ("Klan of the 1920s") in 1915. However, Upshaw was not sympathetic with the Klan, and, on one occasion, ran against a Klan-supported candidate for public office.
Known as the "Billy Sunday of Congress," Upshaw was supported politically by the most powerful names in Southern Protestantism, including evangelist Bob Jones, Sr., the Founder of what eventually became Bob Jones University. Upshaw served as a member of the Board of Trustees from the founding of Bob Jones College in Lynn Haven, Florida in 1927 until he was dropped from the Board in 1932 because of failure to attend the annual Board meetings or file his voting proxies. (See William David Upshaw Correspondence file, Bob Jones University Archives, Mack Library.)
In 1932, he was the Prohibition Party candidate for the presidency of the United States, losing to Franklin D. Roosevelt, who favored repeal of prohibition. For the remainder of his life he was a strong supporter of the prohibition of alcoholic beverages.
In February 1951 at the age of 84 Upshaw claimed he was supernaturally and miraculously healed after being crippled for 66 years in a William Branham Healing Service.[1] He died on November 21, 1952.

Friday's Stuff We Like
Addison Groove - Presents James Grieve
The first time I heard a DJ Magic Mike mixtape I couldn't believe what I was hearing or to be more exact what I was feeling. I remember the bass lines just rattling my insides and giving me a feeling of nausea/euphoria. This was the beginning of my love affair with bass music. I have continually followed bass heavy music ever since and it has lead me on an amazing journey from the early days of jungle to dupstep and everything in between. So it comes as no surprise that I am a huge fan of Addison Groove. I was excited to find out that he had a new record "Addison Groove presents James Grieves" scheduled for release. It had been almost two years since his previous record "Transistor Rhythm". This new record shows Addison Groove moving in a direction inspired by his Bristol roots. Bristol is a main stay in British bass music and is home to such acts as Roni Size, Dj Die, Joker, and Pinch. The album begins beautifully as the intro builds slowly but pushes the pace of the beat. Then the song "Just You" kicks the album into gear with a heavy sub and the beautiful vocals of Josefina adding a nice counter point to the track. The addition of vocals on the album, whether by Josefina or longtime favorite jungle emcee MC DRS, is handled well and is a great addition to the album. I also like the collaboration tracks with Sam Binga and DJ Die. Addison Groove has done it yet again and made a slab of bass music that is current while giving a nod to the past. Stand out tracks include "167 Blast" and "One Fall".

has anyone tried the hue light bulbs / ipad control system? they look cool, a bit high priced, but it might be fun for the kids rooms and game room... maybe in some lamps in the front of the house for use when traveling.

Bought 2 starter packs at the Apple store today. Fairly easy to set up the first one at my house. Def think they are a bit pricey but what Apple related toy isn't ... Think the software interface needs a little bit maturing in terms of separating the controls for individual bulbs. All in all I think it's pretty cool so far.

anyone has these? if you turn them as bright as you can (white light) do they make a buzzing sound if you listen next to the bulbs?

I have been using them for two months and have not heard any buzzing noise at all. They work good but as another poster said, the interface leaves a lot to be desired.

I have them but if I turn them to the whitest light (hue app where the white meets the blue) turn up the brightness to max, I hear a faint buzzing if the room is quiet and I'm close to the bulb. Any other color or if it's not max brightness there's no buzz. Can you test this? I'm not sure if mine are faulty or if every HUE is like this. If it's just mine I'll return these.

I have them and love them! -
Have six bulbs now and love that there are already 3 Mac apps and 6 or so iOS apps - all third party - there is an active development community behind them which makes them so much more than the first party app will allow currently. I can't go back after using these - they rock

I can hear buzzing in all of mine, especially when turned up, but I either have to be really close to the bulb, or the room has to be dead silent. At that point, I can also hear my TV hum, my fridge, and all sorts of other electronic stuff too.

Recipe by kunes5
"Delicious! Always get 'ummm!' responses when I serve this. The Danish has apple filling and is topped with a browned butter glaze."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
3/4 cup hot water
2 tablespoons butter at room temperature
2 1/2 cups apples - peeled, cored, and chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 teaspoons milk
I thought this turned out excellently! I was a bit scared because I didn't see it rising much, but then I'm pretty new to breadmaking and I take it this type of pastry isn't intended to have the dramatic rising effect of most bread. The term "doubled in size" baffles me, however as every bread recipe uses this measure and it apparently means vastly different things to different breads. But it was excellent. The filling was DELICIOUS! Definitely a keeper.
I made this without the glaze, in attempt to decrease the sugar content, and it was basically an apple stromboli. Either make the glaze or look for a crust that is more pastry-ish.
23 Ratings
Very nice. I used regular yeast and desolved it in the warm water with a little sugar. A little grated lemon rind ads a nice flavor to the dough. If the apples are very sweet I would use less sugar for the filling. Mine turned out a bit too sweet. Also leave the apples a little on the crispy side. Next time I would add some chopped almonds. The glaze is fantastic and an absolute must. I hope I have some left over for tomorrow morning because my husband is sampling again and again.
This was an easy recipe to make, and so yummy!! I did not make the glaze, but did the following instead. I mixed two tablespoons of milk with a teaspoon of vanilla flavor and a table spoon of warm honey, and brushed it on top for the golden brown coloring. I also added walnuts to the filling and a few on top for presentation. Definitely a keeper!!
I can't believe how few ratings there are on this recipe. I love it. Love, love it. This is going to be my go to recipe for sweet bread. I do think that the baking temp/time is a little bit off and recommend baking a little bit longer at a lower temperature (depending on your oven).
This is delicious. Followed to the tee except for the glaze. I adjusted milk to 1/2 a cup to make and brush it over the dough after baking. Creates a shiny, flavorful glaze without the heavy icing taste, which isn't a flaw of this recipe but personal taste. Beautiful presentation. Rave reviews. Will make this often!
This is an easy delicious way to get danish. I've made it with apple filling and cheese filling both were delicious. My next filling for this dough is going to be raspberry.
Oh my GOODNESS! This was such a special treat, we loved it! I will definitely make this again for sure! Awesome recipe!
