Getting Ready for VOIP continued....
, 17th December 2011 at 01:07 PM (2068 Views)
So, I've got all the VLAN in place ready for VOIP, just a few tweaks to be done to servers and stuff but nothing major. I'm still trying to nail down the exact QoS configuration but I've put that ball in the court of the supplier for now . I've got a 10 more Switches with PoE on order in places where we don't have the capacity.
Further discussions with the supplier states that the system needs to be able to Multicast, and with the Softphone feature on the desktops PCs it looks like we need to be able to multicast across the VLANs! Something which you require a Premium Edge license on the Core Switch (a E5406zl) ! Doh! More money! Can't quite believe the cost of it though; cheapest quote I have is a approx £1500 for a license! Sheesh!

It has a NIC for monitoring and controls. that's interesting, I guess...
So I read it has 87" diag at 3.4' distance. So that would be 46" Hight at 40" distance at 16:10 native ratio. so 16:9 would be almost a 1:1 ration. So if you have a 10 Foot High wall the lenses would need to be a little less then 10 feet from the wall. I kinda want to mount this over my bed some how so I can lay in bed and watch a large screen display laying flat on my back. Last edited by Mantion; 02-20-2013 at 11:46 PM.. |

1) absolute budget 2) optimal screen size 3) seating distance 4) rough idea of how dark you're able to get your room 5) rough idea of how quiet you want your room to be An estimate of how long the pj will run per day would be good too, along with how often you expect to turn it on and off (how long per session, and how many hours per day). You don't need to know all the above, but if you're coming to SD, a budget at least would be nice. Personally, I had an old bulb pj that was super loud and pretty bulky (vcr-sized) and got pretty hot, so I was glad to go with the Acer K330 500-lumen LED pj right when it came out. I wanted something portable and relatively care-free to use (turn it on, turn it off, move it around, whatever), and the K330 still hit most of my needs. The weird diamond pixels were a little off for reading, but you said you're looking for movie and game use, and it does just fine. 720p native, 1080p looks good too. The K330 500-lumen LED also gets decent detail at 80" in the daytime even with just dark yellow non-blocking drapes in my room, a den with a big glass sliding door. That's 80" at about 7-8' on the fixed-zoom lens. The 500-lumen LED pjs go for $450-500 now, when they came out for $500-550 15 months ago. I think 300 lumen LED pjs would still work in just a little darker room (like 1-2 regular sized windows with darkish drapes, or better, blackout cloth/blinds), and those can be found for $300-350. Best bet is to see if you can buy, try, and return pjs with different features and try them out in your intended place and screen size, with your usual light level, and note the lumen ratings and bulb/LED combinations that just aren't good enough for your conditions. If LED pjs give you good enough performance, I'd recommend you go with them just to get rid of bulb changes and reduce heat and noise. LED pjs are much more resilient to being flipped on-and-off and tossed about too, so they make excellent portable or random houseroom pjs. The only things you really miss from comparably-priced bulb pjs are brighter beams if you really like to turn your ambient light up or have the room for 120"+ screen, adjustable zoom, 1080p native (unless you go >$900 for LED), and horizontal keystoning.

I will assume you actually mean a series of rationals, as series of naturals of course cannot converge unless every term beyoud a certain point is zero.
If it does not converge it is not a number.
The Gregory-Leibniz series:
is an infinite series of rationals that converges to an irrational number. Every finite truncation is rational but the sum is not.

Software drafted to design greener buildings
CHICAGO--Fewer than half of architects were building with green features in mind five years ago, but 90 percent will be by 2012, according to Autodesk.
Seventy percent of respondents to Autodesk's Green Index survey said client demand is accelerating efforts to design buildings that use less energy, cut material waste, and cost less to operate.
Autodesk, which makes professional, 3D drafting applications, announced at the Greenbuild convention last week that it's developing software, code-named "Project Chicago," to help designers score ratings points from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design system run by the U.S. … Read more

The world is running out of IPv4 addresses, but this time we mean it! ;)
It has been well known that IPv4 addresses were getting scarce for years. Yet I don't see many IPv6 capable products at my local electronics store. My ISP isn't looking to switch. I hear a lot of lip service about the importance of this IPv4 addresses shortage, but I just don't see a lot of concrete steps being taken to make the move to IPv6. What gives?

Archive ContentIn an effort to keep the USCIS website current, the archive contains content that is five years and older or otherwise outdated. USCIS Increases Period of Stay for Trade NAFTA Professional Workers from Canada and MexicoWASHINGTON — U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has increased the maximum period of time a Trade-NAFTA (TN) professional worker from Canada or Mexico may remain in the United States before seeking readmission or obtaining an extension of stay. This final rule changes the initial period of admission for TN workers from one to three years, making it equal to the initial period of admission given to H-1B professional workers. Eligible TN nonimmigrants may now be allowed to receive extensions of stay in increments of up to three years instead of the prior maximum period of stay of one year. The TN nonimmigrant classification is visa category available to eligible Mexicans and Canadians with at least a bachelor's degree or appropriate professional credentials who work in certain qualified fields pursuant to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Qualified professions identified within NAFTA include, but are not limited to, accountants, engineers, attorneys, pharmacists, scientists, and teachers. This final rule will ease administrative burdens and costs on TN workers. It will also benefit U.S. employers by increasing the amount of time TN nonimmigrants will be able to work for them before having to seek an extension of status. Spouses and unmarried minor children of TN nonimmigrants in their corresponding nonimmigrant classifications will also benefit from the new regulation. This improvement to the TN nonimmigrant category was initially announced by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Department of Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez on Aug. 10, 2007. The effort is one of the 26 initiatives identified by President Bush's Administration to address current immigration challenges using the tools and authorities available under existing law. For more information on the TN nonimmigrant visa program or to view the final rule, visit the USCIS Web site or call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283.

The Denver Broncos activated running back Jeremiah Johnson to the 53-man roster Saturday.
To make room for him, Denver placed defensive tackle Ty Warren on injured reserve.
Johnson, a second-year player out of Oregon, spent all of training camp with the Broncos before the team signed him to the practice squad earlier this month. He had 16 carries in the preseason for 64 yards and one touchdown as well as two catches for 23 yards.

Washington, D.C. (April 26, 2012) – Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) President and CEO Jim Greenwood released the following statement regarding the Obama Administration's new National Bioeconomy Blueprint issued today:
"BIO applauds President Obama's leadership in creating a National Bioeconomy Blueprint and identifying the bioeconomy as a priority for his Administration. We appreciate the President's recognition of the need to clear the path for American innovation and ingenuity and unleash the tremendous promise of biotechnology to help solve many of the biggest challenges facing our nation today and foster economic growth throughout the United States.
"Already, biotechnology is enabling patients living with debilitating diseases such as cancer, diabetes and Parkinson's - and all American families - to have a higher quality of life, in a healthy and safe environment. As the new report notes, 'The U.S. bioeconomy is all around us: new drugs and diagnostics for improved human health, higher-yielding food crops, advanced biofuels to reduce dependency on oil, and biobased chemical intermediates.'
"The report's high-level goals are consistent with many of BIO's primary goals, including supporting translational research, reducing regulatory barriers for biotech products and emerging technologies, improving coordination across federal agencies, reforming the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and expanding the bioeconomy workforce. We look forward to hearing more about specific proposals for accomplishing these goals.
"The biotech sector directly employs 1.42 million workers and supports an additional 6.6 million jobs nationwide. With the Administration's support, and by reducing red tape, paperwork and unnecessary delays, the biotech sector can expand its role as an economic engine for growth – creating high-wage, high-skilled jobs that offer the most promise to cure disease, feed the hungry, create a healthier environment and develop cleaner fuels that lessen our reliance on foreign oil.
"We look forward to working with the Administration to accomplish our shared goal of harnessing the potential of the biotechnology industry to grow our nation's economy while producing cures and advancing medicine, developing cleaner sources of energy and improving agriculture to feed the growing world population."
About BIO
BIO is the world's largest trade association representing biotechnology companies, academic institutions, state biotechnology centers and related organizations across the United States and in more than 30 other nations. BIO members are involved in the research and development of innovative healthcare, agricultural, industrial and environmental biotechnology products.

Can you only buy their issues through their website? I buy my books at http://www.dcbservice.com and they don't have anything listed as Heroic Publishing. Are they DBA another name?
I almost got into Heroic but found they were focusing too much on t&a for my tastes.
Reading: Batman '66, The Fox, New Crusaders, Kings Watch, Trio/Triple Helix, Afterlife with Archie, Mysterious Strangers, Daredevil and Hawkeye. And soon: Silver Surfer...
I don't know that they're available through Diamond anymore. I think you have to buy direct from their website or through the printer service.
This is very much my issue with the company as well. Very degrading to women. LIBERTY GIRL was the only one that I've read that had a reasonable depiction of a woman. I won't read anything else they do unless it's by an established writer I trust like Roy Thomas or Tony Isabella.
^ Hmm they are a bit too over priced on their website. I would give them a chance but not at $5 each.
Quite a few Heroic Publishing titles are only $0.99 and many more are only $1.50 at DriveThruComics.com:
Gives you a chance to check them out at a lower price before investing in a new series.

If you want to go the digital route, you can read pretty much the whole line for free on WOWIO.
Here is the Heroic releases of November:
Adventures of Chrissie Claus #2 Color Edition (Cute Elfin girls in swimsuts!)
Flare #38 (Introducing the all-new Sparkplug! Note: This is the last issue of Flare in which Sparkplug will be the back-up feature. Look for her in future issues of Champions!)
League of Champions #13 (First issue of the book since 1993! They are back!)
What do you think about Sparkplug moving to the pages of Champions?
Will she be in it as a member of the League of Champions or as a solo back-up feature?
*Sigh* Heroic does it again. The Aiken/Cermak Liberty Girl story was removed from this issue. Instead we get the LG #4 preview that was going to be in HEROIC SPOTLIGHT #1. Looks like Heroic still doesn't have its act together. I won't be reading this issue now.
Thankfully, I didn't preorder. I feel sorry for those that did on the basis of the previous solicitation information.
Here is another great Heroic Publishing gem out now!

Go back
The reason why I did that is because x and x*, and z and z*, have a lot of the same terms in them, which you can take advantage of if you put them in full complex form.From there, it's just plugging them in and trying to solve for c and d.
thanks, i sort of understood what u did. ill be going along to my math support class to understand that fully.
First, start by doing a few quick substitutions:x = a + bi (where a and b are real)x* = a - biz = c + di (where c and d are real)z* = c - dixx* = (a + bi)(a - bi) = a^2 + b^2z - z* = c + di - (c - di) = 2diSo:a^2 + b^2 + 3(2di) = 13 + 12iSince i is the only possible imaginary value (all other variables must be real):a^2 + b^2 = 13 and 6di = 12idi = 2i, and since d must be real, d = 2So z = c + 2i, where c is any real number. The simpilest solution is z = 2i (c = 0)
Question: Find z such thatxx* + 3(z-z*) = 13 + 12ican someone please tell me how to begin to solve this.i realize that z* is the complex conjigate of z, but i just don't know where to start.Thanks

Found December 12, 2012 on
Fox Sports North:
Twenty-eight years ago, Eric Dickerson set an NFL single-season rushing record that still stands.
Thursday morning, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was asked on "The Dan Patrick Show" whether Dickerson has reason to be nervous that his 2,105 yards will be eclipsed this season.
"I think so," Peterson said. "I think so."
Peterson needs 506 yards in the Vikings' final three games to break Dickerson's record, and if anyone else were talking about averaging 168.7 yards per game it would seem like false bravado. But that's not the case with Peterson, who has averaged 165 yards in his past five games and showed this season in his comeback from a torn ACL that he can be downright dogged in pursuit of a goal.
"A lot of people are talking, 'I hope you get 2,000,' but me being me I'd be cheating myself if I wasn't eying Eric Dickerson's record," Peterson told Patrick. "That's something that's in the back of my head. It's not something that I'm overwhelmingly focused on, but I feel like it's something I feel like it's within reach to obtain. We're going to see."
Peterson leads the NFL with 1,600 rushing yards and is on pace to smash his personal career high of 1,760 set in 2008. He's averaging an eye-popping 6.0 yards per carry even though the Vikings have one of the league's worst passing attacks. So if defenses will be trying to stop him from breaking Dickerson's record, getting a little extra attention is something he's already used to.
"We come in and want to run the ball It's all about mindset, and I feel like the guys in front of me, the whole team, offensively, they have accepted guys know, teams know, defensive coordinators know we're going to run the ball," Peterson told Patrick. " This is our bread and butter. We try to stick with it, and we have a lot of pride in what we do."

Oh The Humanity!: Geekologie Reader's Ex-Wife Dumps Entire Star Wars Toy Collection In Alley
A Geekologie Reader, who will remain anonymous but who I will now refer to as Jilted Jedi because I've always wanted to pretend I was Dear Abby, had his entire Star Wars toy collection haphazardly dumped in the alley behind his house by his ex-wife, who may or may yes be a evil Sith lord. Which -- let me see that lightsaber. Haha, red -- I KNEW IT!
There were about 10 black trash bags with carded figures stuffed into them 400-500 of them! Good thing the weather was cooperative and I was quick enough on the scene to detour the smokers in the alley.
Can you believe the nerve?! Those toys should've only been handled by a mover specializing in the relocation of collectibles. Instead they got the trashbag treatment. Ex-wives: they hated your collection long before the divorce.
Hit the jump for one more shot of the carnage.
Thanks to ******, who hopefully finds himself a Princess Leia worthy of sharing such a fine toy collection with.

Paleo Eats: 9/22/12 Pin It Before I recap my chow for the day, I want to wish my dad a happy, happy birthday. I hope my two sons grow up to be just as righteous as my dad. Rock on, pops! Plus, he has such a snappy sense of style — something that I sadly failed to inherit. Back at the hospital, chaos reigned. I was almost too busy to eat my leftovers: meat from my beefy bone broth with Leon's Miracle Sauce, cherry tomatoes, roasted eggplant, and broccoli. As soon as I got home, I tumbled into bed. As much as I wish I could've attended Big-O's blue belt ceremony in the morning, my eyes simply wouldn't stay open. While I snoozed the day away, the boys pinballed around Palo Alto with their dad, running errands and pretending the Arizona Cactus Garden on the Stanford campus was a hostile planet populated by aliens with sinus problems. When I finally emerged from my bedroom in the early evening, we drove to Shalizaar — one of my parents' favorite Persian joints — to celebrate my dad's birthday. As you can see from the photo above, Lil-O is a master procrastinator just like his mommy — he didn't get around to making a birthday card for his grandpa until he was seated RIGHT NEXT TO THE BIRTHDAY BOY at the restaurant. Slick. The six of us started with a big salad with tomatoes, red onion, cucumbers, feta, and dried dates (hold the croutons!)… …and puréed grilled eggplant and garlic (kashk-e-bademjan). After our appetites had been properly whetted, the meat parade began. Shalizaar is popular 'round these parts among my meat-loving peoples (a.k.a. Asians) — so much so that Lil-O looked around at the other patrons and asked if we were at a Chinese restaurant. We dug into a big braised lamb shank… …and divvied up a couple of platters of combo meat platters. Our plates were piled with grilled lamb chops and Cornish game hens… …marinated prawns… …and koobideh (seasoned ground beef kabobs). We enjoyed everything with generous dollops of mast-o-khiar — yogurt mixed with dried mint and pepper, and topped with diced cucumber. It would've been a perfect Saturday night…if I hadn't had to pack up and drive off into the night for another graveyard shift. But hey — the bacon doesn't pay for itself.
Dining Out Paleo: Café Borrone (Menlo Park, CA) Pin It I've been a regular grazer at Café Borrone for over twenty years(!). It's a large airy cafe, with tons of indoor and outdoor seating, located next door to Kepler's Bookstore. Back in high school, I used to come here on weekend nights — dressed in all black and donning Dr. Martens boots— to gossip with my gal pals while we downed frosted mochas and pastries. Egads. These days, I come here with the family to enjoy hearty, Paleo-friendly breakfasts al fresco. In the morning, they always offer six or seven different scrambles filled with seasonal veggies, cheese, or meat. My favorite one is the #6 scramble which has Swiss Chard, green onions, and bacon. Normally, I also add a hot Italian sausage to my order… …and a steaming mug of java. The kids split an order of scrambled eggs… …and a cup of fruit salad. The counter service is always friendly and efficient and we're in and out of there in a flash. It's totally an oldie, but goodie — just like moi.
Eating In Paleo: Joshua Charles Catering (Redwood City, CA) Pin It Kicking cancer in the keister is a BFD and deserves a party, damn it! Fitbomb and I wanted to celebrate the completion of his mom's cancer treatments with a casual family gathering at our home. And we both wanted to enjoy the party (rather than slaving away in the kitchen), so we hired a caterer. Paying a team of people to throw your party is definitely an indulgence. After careful research (I'm one picky mofo), I settled on Joshua Charles Catering. It was a great choice, if I say so myself. The caterers made sure that the whole process – from suggesting menu items (Paleo, please!), arranging rentals, setting up the venue (our backyard), cooking, staffing the main event, and doing all the clean-up – was seamless. The catering team arrived promptly two hours before the event. They set to work immediately arranging the tables and chairs outside and preparing the food. By the time the first guests trickled in… …the feast was ready. For our lunch buffet, we served broccoli rapini sauteed with chili pepper, garlic and meyer lemon… …a seasonal roasted vegetable assortment… …Mediterranean chicken salad with lemon verbena, caper berries, olives, baby romaine lettuce and feta cheese… …mustard-brined roasted Berkshire pork loin served over shredded ham hocks and arugula… …herb-marinated New York strip loin served over wild mushrooms and steamed carrots… …and organic fruit salad with honey lime dressing and mint. We were hosting an opinionated crowd, including a few non-adventurous eaters, but EVERYONE went back for seconds and thirds. The food was fantastic and each platter was quickly replenished as soon as we vultures picked them clean. Most of our guests didn't know that the menu was designed to be Paleo-compliant. I was delighted that no one missed the gluten, legumes, and soy. Go Paleo! It wasn't until dessert that we strayed slightly from the Paleo reservation. I served gluten-free mini cupcakes from Kara's… …and we toasted my mother-in-law's health with flutes of fizzy champagne. Thank you, to the wonderful staff from Joshua Charles Catering! The party manager, Kelly, was calm, professional and anticipated all our needs. Chefs Scott and Eric plated dish after dish of beautiful, soul-satisfying, rib-sticking food. It was definitely a special event that we won't forget.
Eating Out Paleo: Martins West (Redwood City, CA) Pin It Wow! Could it be? Yes, Virginia, there is a good, reasonably priced restaurant in the 'burbs and its name is Martins West. Martins West is a gastropub, "a public house that specializes in serving high quality food." Executive chef Michael Dotson, formerly of PlumpJack Cafe and Evvia Estiatorio, has designed a menu of Scottish-inspired shared plates that are all made with market-driven, local ingredients. The nosh is delicious and every dish is less than $20. Although we were tempted to take a gluten-laden detour (Scotch eggs! Rarebit! Lamb tongue butty!), we stayed on the Paleo straight-and-narrow tonight. We shared a wild arugula salad with sweet and sour Sebastopol apples, fried shallots, and pistachio… …house-made braised oxtail terrine… …Tunisian spiced lamb… …grilled octopus with potatoes, french beans, and salsa verde… …toasted green and yellow pole beans… …fried Brussels sprouts… …pork belly with chili pepper ragout and brown turkey fig… …and bavette steak with chanterelles, corn, black salt, and sauce bearnaise. All four of us enjoyed the nosh and can't wait to return to try new items on the seasonally-changing menu!
Eating Out Paleo: Anatolian Kitchen (Palo Alto, CA) Pin It I love kabobs and Turkish food, specifically, so I was excited when Anatolian Kitchen opened up in my neck of the woods last year. It's run by the Tekdemir brothers: Dino mans the front of the house and Shahan runs the kitchen. Service is always warm and welcoming, but the reason we return over and over again is their tasty, uncomplicated food. It's comforting Middle Eastern fare done well. We've eaten here a bunch of times and almost ALWAYS order the combo grill and ask for extra veggies in place of rice. The combo comes with lamb, chicken, doner, and kofte and the meat's always well-seasoned and moist. We routinely share a second entree and typically choose one of the daily specials. The braised lamb shank is always tender and well-seasoned (we sub out the orzo with veggies) but my favorite dish is the pan roasted whole sea bass stuffed with fennel and onions. When we ordered it the other day, the fish was fantastic! The skin was crisp, yet the flesh was moist and delicious! We didn't even need to Paleo-fy the dish because it came with a side salad and no grains. If you're in the area — say you're finishing a WOD at CrossFit Palo Alto — give this place a try!
Dining Out Paleo(ish): Alexander's Steakhouse (Cupertino, CA) Pin It Last night, to celebrate the end of my MIL's chemo treatments, my parents invited us and my in-laws to dinner at Alexander's Steakhouse in Cupertino. This place is WILDLY popular and I was looking forward to chowing on MEATMEATMEATMEATMEAT. Upon entering the restaurant, the first thing you see is a enormous window into the brightly-lit dry-aging area of the kitchen, along with a display of the different cuts of steak available. The most impressive-looking one was the Tomahawk Chop (or, as the restaurant inexplicably spelled it last night, "TOMAWAK SHOP"), an enormous 32-ounce bone-in ribeye. We don't often take the boys out to high-end (read: expensive) restaurants, but they were absorbed in our iPhones, and didn't turn into pumpkins or anything. It helped, too, that service was quick, efficient, and personable. Our friendly waiter spent a good few minutes going over the menu with us, and was warm and attentive all night. For starters, Fitbomb and I shared seared foie gras with cherries… …and filet mignon tartare with quail egg. When in Rome — or in this case, Cupertino, California — you should always order the restaurant's best. So both of us ordered the same entree: A trio of different Wagyu New York steaks. The steaks were perfectly-cooked — medium-rare edge-to-edge (sous vide, anyone?) — and each were topped with flavorful sauces and garnishes. The cuts of Wagyu were fatty and had a great mouth-feel, but I still missed the beefiness of grass-fed meat. And that's the rub with trying to stay Paleo at any steakhouse: The restaurant will always opt to serve grain-fed beef (some even proudly proclaim that they only serve grain-fed stuff) because of the taste and customer demand. Alexander's meat, for example, is exclusively grain-fed. When asked, our waiter told us that Alexander's has tried offering grass-fed meat in the past, but stopped because "of the metallic aftertaste" and "inconsistency" of the cuts.) Our table also shared a bunch of sides: mushrooms, creamed spinach, fries, mac 'n cheese and corn. (Yes, FRIES and MAC 'N CHEESE and CORN. Not all of us at the table are Paleo eaters, sadly.) As we've said before, we don't keep non-Paleo foods in the house, but on the rare occasions when we eat out at restaurants with the kids, we typically let them order what they want. To be sustainable, we think that Paleo eating can't be coerced. We teach our boys about making the right food choices, and cross our fingers that they'll actually make 'em. But that doesn't mean they won't see the bread basket their grandparents are eating from and not demand a gluten-y hunk. Or refrain from eating the mac 'n cheese and fries. Or turn away the complimentary fizzy fruit soda that the waiter brought over to them. Or the palate-cleanser — a strawberry-orange granita — that arrived between courses. Or the celebratory piece of cake that my MIL received gratis from the restaurant. Or the humongous cone of cotton candy that was brought to every table after dinner. I'll admit it: I didn't cover the kids' eyes and hustle them away from the table. (I did, however, move the cotton candy out of reach after the kids had grabbed a few handfuls of fluffy spun sugar.) Blech. Bad Paleo mommy. It's not the waiter's fault, of course. The service was fantastic and well-orchestrated. After learning of the reason we were dining at Alexander's, our waiter made a point of bringing out complimentary champagne and dessert to toast to my MIL's health. These were thoughtful touches, and it made the dinner a very special one for our parents. How was the food? Tasty, but waaaaaay overpriced for nice but fairly standard steakhouse fare. Don't get me wrong — I'll gladly shell out for great food, but: (1) Alexander's did not blow my mind, and (2) it was more expensive than meals we've had at Momofuku Ko, Eleven Madison Park, Saison, and other super-insanely-awesome places. Yes, I do go off the Paleo reservation once in a blue moon — even when we're not at Per Se or whatever. I am under no illusion that restaurants cook with coconut oil instead of canola, and that restaurant sauces aren't "enhanced" with sugar, corn starch and flour. It's one thing for me to consciously decide to have an occasional eff-off meal — especially when the food's fantastic — but I learned last night that it's quite another thing to watch my kids blithely scarf down sugar, gluten and soy. I might have enjoyed the experience more if the Faileo foods weren't devoured so gleefully by my children. Lots of people love Alexander's, and eat there guilt-free. Sadly, I'm not one of them.
Eating Out Paleo: 4505 Meats (San Francisco, CA) Pin It Without a doubt, I'm a HUGE fan of Ryan Farr and his meat magic. Remember? I called him the Jedi Master for all things meat and I regularly treat our family to his seasonal meat CSA packages. However, up until today, I'd never tried one of his famous cheeseburgers. (I heard that audible gasp. Shut it.) He'd recently tweeted that the 4505 meat stand makes "Paleo-style" burgers so I vowed to get myself up to the Thursday Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market to try one. But when I stepped up to order my sandwich, I saw a sign that said "no substitutions or alterations." Whaaaa? "Um, I know your sign says no substitutions, but can I get two double burgers with no bun and an extra egg?" "Of course you can!" The friendly server turned and called out to one of the grill masters: "Two double burgers, extra egg, no bun please." One of the guys behind the grill yelled back, "Two burgers…PALEO-STYLE?" My heart leapt! "Nope, she wants cheese on them." "WAIT! No no no — I don't! I want 'em PALEO-style! I just didn't want to be a pain in the ass and ask for more changes!" The server smiled. "No problem! We're very Paleo-friendly here. Kent, the cook back there, eats Paleo and gets very excited when someone orders Paleo-style burgers." Kent, I love you. The burger was fantastic, with perfectly seasoned patties, a thick slice of ripe heirloom tomato, and nice, runny egg yolks. When I went back to tell Ryan and Kent how much I loved my Paleo burger, they joked that Ryan is actually "Bi-Paleo." (And if you're scratching your head, you're clearly not from San Francisco.) Lunch at the 4505 Meats stand was one of the highlights of my summer FO SHO. p.s. Don't forget to pick up a few bags of their amazingly delicious chicharrones as an eff-off treat. Yes, I'm aware that they're fried in rice bran oil and seasoned with sugar, but I don't care. At all.
Eating Out Paleo: The Patty Shack (Redwood City, CA) Pin It I love me some tasty burgers so I was super excited to hear about the recent opening of The Patty Shack in my neck of the woods. The pedigree behind this unassuming, family-friendly joint is pretty impressive: it's managed by Adam Torres of the insanely popular Sancho's Taqueria and the guy in charge of the kitchen is Chef Gary Shelley, formerly of Alexander's Steakhouse. The menu lists a bunch of delicious burger combinations and the usual side dishes (e.g fries and onion rings) BUT there's also a bunch of cool veggie sides (e.g. roasted Brussels Sprouts!) AND a handful of interesting salads to round out your meal. Plus, you can totally customize your burger (e.g. No bun! Extra patty! Extra avocado!) The burgers aren't grass-finished but it's hard to find a joint down on the peninsula that: serves 100% grass fed beef or grills a palatable burger, grass fed or not. For our inaugural meal, Fitbomb and I both ordered bun-less Midnight Burgers (1/3 patty topped with bacon, fried egg, and cheddar) with sliced avocado ($1.00 extra)… …and our table split a roasted beet salad (butter lettuce, herb roasted beets, shallots, champagne vinegar, and goat cheese)… …roasted Brussels sprouts (with crispy shallots and tossed with raison and bacon vinaigrette)… …and steamed asparagus (with a lemon vinaigrette). What's my verdict? Thumbs up! The burger was juicy and well-seasoned (despite being well-done) and the sides were tasty. I was especially fond of the savory, sweet, bacon-y roasted spouts. I'm sure the place is still ironing out some kinks but so far so good. We'll be returning soon!
Eating Out Paleo: Marlowe (San Francisco, CA) Pin It As I've written before, I love, love, love Marlowe. We come here with our little posse every few months and we're always served delicious chow by friendly waitstaff in an unpretentious setting. How can you not love a place that has these two quotes (among many awesome foodie bons mots) printed on their front window: Today, I took the train up with the boys to meet Fitbomb here for dinner. It's so damn convenient since it's located right behind the Caltrain station. For our dinner, we opted to split a mess of starters and also ordered a burger for Big-O. It's always funner to sample a large variety of dishes, don't you think? We began our meal with a couple warmed deviled eggs with aged provolone, pickled jalapeno, and bacon… …and then the yumminess continued with a bowl of crispy Brussels sprout chips with lemon and sea salt… …which Lil-O devoured like he had a bad case of the munchies… …Little Gem salad with avocado, market vegetables, and citrus vinaigrette… …spiced jumbo gulf shrimp with hot & boozy cocktail sauce… …Dungeness Crab & Rock shrimp Louie… ..that we made into mini lettuce wraps topped with Tabasco and sea salt… …roasted bone marrow with salsa verde and fine herbs… …and steak tartare with poached quail egg. Big-O gobbled up the famous Marlowe burger… …and we were all happy campers. The eats were phenomenal as usual but I especially enjoyed the warm deviled eggs (we ordered a second round of them!) and Dungeness crab and rock shrimp louie. I'm definitely mad about Marlowe.
Eating Out Paleo: Prospect (San Francisco, CA) Pin It Prospect is the modern, edgy new restaurant from the talented team at Boulevard. Both times we've eaten here, we've waddled away stuffed and satisfied. Prospect offers modern farm-to-table fare with some more exotic touches thrown in by acclaimed executive chef Ravi Kapur. I'm not gonna lie: The preponderance of dishes include one or more elements that's not Paleo-approved (e.g. lentils, gluten, polenta, etc.). Just be a big caveboy or cavegal, and ask nicely to substitute with something else. They'll be happy to do so as long as you aren't acting like a demanding, pushy, and entitled bee with an itch. Fitbomb and I decided to share two salads and two entrees for dinner. Portions were so substantial that dessert didn't even look tempting to me. Wanna see what we ate? The summer salad was a refreshing mix of cucumbers, tomatoes, crispy spiced onions, sun dried tomatoes, and goat cheese… …and the green goddess salad was a lovely pile of greens with cucumbers and avocados hidden below. For one of our entrees, we ordered the McCormack goat mixed roast… …which came with sauteed spinach (in place of new potatoes), coriander Greek yogurt, lamb's quarters, roasted eggplant sesame puree, and goat jus. We also shared the Eden Farms Berkshire pork loin chop… …which was accompanied by sauteed spinach (in place of polenta), roasted belgian endive, and roasted nectarine. The salads were delicious but the meats really stole my heart. It's no secret that I love goat meat so the mixed roast platter that came piled high with sausage, chops, and belly was heaven on a plate. Great eats and even better company (we were at Prospect with S & J) — the best way to spend an evening!

New Mexico Department of Game and Fish |
ICE TOO DANGEROUS FOR FISHING AT FENTON LAKE LA CUEVA -- Fenton Lake likely will remain closed to ice fishing through the winter because thermal activity is creating unsafe ice conditions, the Department of Game and Fish and the State Parks Division announced. Although the lake is covered with ice, columns of warm water rising from the lake bottom can weaken the ice and in some places create holes where anglers could fall through. The lake will reopen to fishing and boating when the ice clears or if officials determine the ice is safe for walking and angling. The ice is considered safe when it is at least nine inches thick throughout the lake surface, according to criteria established by the Department. Fenton Lake State Park will remain open for camping and other activities. For more information and updates, please contact Fenton Lake State Park, (575) 829-3630. Information also is available on the Department of Game and Fish or New Mexico State Parks respective websites, www.wildlife.state.nm.us and www.nmparks.com. ### |

Attic A/C Unit Condensate Trap
I have two 3 yr old Goodman A/C units in the attic. I came home to a leaking ceiling. When I checked the units the upstairs the drip pan had water. It appears the drip pan is not water tight due to the water coming out of my ceiling. The drip pan drain never had a chance to work since the water was exiting the drip pan. Now to my real question. The drip pan that houses the evaporator has 2 connections one low one high. condensate was coming from the high connection that was capped draining to the drip pan. The low connection is piped to the drain line with a P-trap in it. I cut the PVC trap out and just piped to the drain with no trap using a great slope. This has cured my water problem. The trap was not clogged, I think the original trap sloped back to the evap drip pan, causing the water build up. Finally my question. What is the purpose of the trap on the condensate drain? Will I hurt the longevity of the system? How do I seal my drip pan? Is what I did okay?

Attic A/C Unit Condensate Trap
The trap is there for the drain to work properly. The secondary pan should be water tight and most experienced contractors put in a float switch to shut the a/c off if the secondary pan is holding water.

Attic A/C Unit Condensate Trap
The trap in this line serves the same purpose as any plumbing trap, to block sewer gases from coming back through the line . If it was a typical big plumbing trap and that is what prevented the pipe from being able to have correct slope, replace it with an ac drain line trap, which simply looks like a short piece of pipe with a shallow u shape bent into it, available at any ac supply, HD or Lowes, and many larger hardware stores. While you have the line apart install a tee or wye very close to the unit, with a short stub up and unglued cap. to serve as a cleanout, and place to pour some bleach into the line occasionaly. Did the pan leak at the fittings, if so seal them with some silicone, or because it is rusting? If the pan is rusting I would try to replace it for peace of mind before it ruins your ceiling again.As with all ac units, it is not a matter of if you are going to get water in the pan(which as stated is an emergency backup measure), but when. If you want to try to waterproof it, get some elastomeric paint from a paint store that deals with waterproofing products, it is applied just like a heavy bodied paint . An emergency shut down switch as suggested by BigMike is a very worthwhile investment, especially for equipment located over finished living space.

Attic A/C Unit Condensate Trap
Condensate drains on a/c units don't get tied into the building sewer, they either go outside, to a drywell, or to a sump pump or similar type drain. If they were tied to the sewer and lost the trap seal during the non-cooling months there would be a nice fire hazzard of pulling methane into an electrical environment.

Simple Ways to Keep Your Photographs Organized
By Julie Morgenstern
Oprah.com | From the February 2003 issue of
O, The Oprah Magazine
A scrapbook craze is sweeping the country, with women spending hundreds of hours (and dollars) creating elaborate photo/memory books with friends. But if this pastime isn't for you and you'd just like to get those photo packs out of your drawers and under control, read on. To avoid feeling overwhelmed—or getting stuck in memory lane—do it in stages.
Stage 1: Quick Fix (three to four hours)
For each year of backlog, buy two or three archival-quality photo boxes. Available in photo shops and housewares stores (such as Bed, Bath & Beyond) or on Websites (like exposuresonline.com), they come in a huge array of colors and patterns. Choose a style that matches your decor and taste.
Check every room, drawer, closet and abandoned travel bag for stray snapshots. Bring your finds to a central location with a large work surface, such as the dining room table or family room floor.
Playing "beat the clock" with yourself, spend no more than three hours sorting photos into broad categories. You can group by year, stage of life (childhood, teen years, college, adulthood), types of people (family, friends, work) or events (vacations, celebrations, holidays). Follow your first impulse without belaboring decisions. When finished sorting, put each category into its own box or boxes, and label. Even if you never get around to the next stage, you can easily enjoy your pictures now.
Stage 2: User-Friendly Albums (25 to 30 hours per 100 rolls)
Buy albums that will hold several sizes of photos. Artists' portfolios with black pages allow you to arrange your pictures collage-style. And some three-ring binder albums come with mix-and-match plastic sleeves of multiple configurations (three by five, four by six, etc.). Whichever type you choose, get all one kind of album.
Each envelope of photos takes about 15 to 20 minutes to place in an album. Don't do it all at once: Set aside a specific time each week or month and work on only one photo box at a time. You can also give your kids a box—say, vacation photos—to work on. Note to pack rats: Throwing away a bad picture is not like throwing away the person in it! Toss shots that are blurry, unflattering or off-center. Duplicates and redundant shots can be pitched, given away, or stored for school projects, collages and gifts.
Put negatives and duplicates in labeled Ziploc bags, indicating which album the shots belong to. Store in photo boxes.
Stage 3: A System That Keeps on Working
Clear out a drawer for photos you haven't sorted yet; while you're at it, make space for extra rolls of film and spare albums. You might also include photo mailers and stamps.
Limit the shots you take. Digital cameras have revolutionized picture taking—you can erase bad shots immediately.
Develop film within a day of completing a roll. Update your boxes and albums routinely, either once a month or twice a year—say, January and July.
And if the whole thing is more fun than you'd thought, and you now feel the urge to coordinate all your mementos, then you, like other scrapbookers, may have hit upon a new form of self-expression. If not, you'll simply be happier knowing you can look at last year's vacation—or your child's first birthday—whenever you want.

Too often, deeply religious men and women are branded as unqualified for public service roles helping others, solely because of their faith. They are labeled ''too extreme'' and rejected out of hand.
Dr. C. Everett Koop, who served as U.S. surgeon general from 1981-89, was a shining example of why such prejudice can be a disservice to the very people it purports to defend.
Koop, who died recently at age 96, was a committed evangelical Christian who, when nominated by then-President Ronald Reagan, was opposed by many liberal politicians. His background was objected to by, among others, AIDS activists who assumed he would have no compassion for those afflicted by the disease.
But Koop promised to do his job as the nation's top public health official - and he did. During his tenure, AIDS became a top priority for research and education.
Before he left office, Koop found himself idolized by many AIDS activists. During speaking engagements, some who booed other government officials took up the chant ''Koop, Koop!'' in appreciation of his efforts.

He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. John 19:30 (NKJV)
Have you ever hired someone to do some work for you, only to realize later on that they never really completed the task you paid them to do? Or have you ever learned that a friend who promised to help you failed to follow through? It can be very frustrating!
Follow-through is a precious commodity in this day and age. If someone sticks to doing what he said he would do, it stands out in stark contrast to the way our world operates. Broken promises, half-completed projects, guarantees with an asterisk next to them…these are the things that we've come to anticipate and expect in life.
Then there's Jesus, who kept every promise He ever made and always finished what He set out to do. He was a man of follow-through, and there's no greater or more graphic example of this than the words He uttered on the Cross: "It is finished!"
"What's finished?" The act of serving as our sin sacrifice. Jesus declared that He had come to save the lost, and this was never fully accomplished until He poured out His life for our sake on the Cross. Anything short of that would have left His mission undone. But He was faithful to see His mission through to the very end, and we're saved as a result of that follow-through.
How humbling! That kind of follow-through isn't just in short supply in our society, it's in short supply in our own lives, as well. But if we're truly committed to being like Jesus, then we're going to grow in this area. We're going to see the value in backing our words with our works, and we'll have a reputation of finishing well.
If follow-through is lacking in your life, ask the Lord to help you grow in this area…then trust that He will, because He's always faithful to follow through!
Think About It…
What does this passage reveal to me about God?
What does this passage reveal to me about myself?
Based on this, what changes do I need to make?
What is my prayer for today?

23 Oct. 4 ~ 11, 2014 Mexican Riviera 24 Jan. 18 ~ 25, 2015 Western Caribbean As the basis for American music, the rhythms and musical progressions of blues music has had a public following since the early 20th century. As time progressed, the sounds of blues music have been altered, expanded, and often renamed. The basis of rock 'n roll, hip hop, rap, heavy metal, and jazz all have a genesis in blues music. To ensure the continued survival of an audience for blues music and expand the financial opportunities for blues and it's life blood festivals The Blues Festival Guide is committed to the process of outreach and a search for methods to present blues to a wider public. Blues Music... Sometimes sad, lonely and mournful, but in other cases fully energized and bursting with electric-guitar-fueled vigor, blues is one of the most powerful, influential and popular musical styles to have risen during the last few centuries. The song structure is simple - much of classic blues is based around a three-chord, 12-bar progression that leaves room for boundless improvisation - and it serves as a foundation for much of today's popular music. Today it's still being picked on the front porches of tar-paper shacks, but it's just as frequently fired up loud and proud in front of a barroom (or for that matter stadium) crowd. In either case though, it remains a music that reflects hardship, trouble and strife, but also perseverance and strength of character - to know the blues is to be in touch with your true spirit and soul. Notableartists include: B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Etta James, Buddy Guy, Delbert McClinton, Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon |

NewsHR group looking for ideas for community centreWednesday, April 18, 2012 - 3:45 PM Yellowknife, N.W.T. - A group of Hay Riverites who are looking to create a new community space in the town will be presenting their ideas to the public on Wednesday and looking for feedback. Franziska Ulbricht is part of a group that has been meeting over the past three months to flesh out the idea of a community centre that would host a number of different things. "Some offices, and a market vendor space, a space for artists, maybe a gallery, and a vertical greenhouse." Ulbricht said the idea has been brought before council but at this stage they are not looking for funding or any specific support. "Because this is even before the planning stage, so we're just trying to look for feedback." On Wednesday night, the group will be making a presentation on their ideas at the library at 7 o'clock and are inviting anyone interested to come and share their suggestions and opinions.
