Perfect for our Family Vacation!
Review submitted: August 12, 2013 Date of arrival: June 22, 2013
Our family was looking for a central location for our vacation. We are coming from Syracuse, Rochester and Batavia. This house and guest cottage are absolutely perfect for our stay. It is conveniently located and easy to get to. It is close to several wineries and there is plenty of places to go and eat in case the weather is not cooperating. The 2 level enclosed porch is absolutely beautiful and inviting to spend your day relaxing and enjoying the beautiful lake. The level lake front and big dock made the kids really enjoy themselves throughout the week. The fishing off the dock was great and a the water was very refreshing!
The owner is a fantastic person and is very accommodating!! We look forward to coming back every summer!

We rented the house the week of June 16, 2012....The pictues do not do it justice. The two screened in porches are amazing, such a great place to sit and have your morning coffee and watch the sun rise over the lake. The cottage is equipped with everything you would need for a relaxing week on the lake. We would highly recommend this property...Thank you Jim for sharing this wonderful cottage.

Great place
Review submitted: June 1, 2011 Date of arrival: May 27, 2011
After 8 years at Cornell, our daughter graduated as a DVM. We decided to go all out and rent a nice place for the family to stay. This was it. Clean, convenient and on the lake. We couldn't ask for much more. Great accommodations and very quiet! Would recommend this cottage. the guest house is a nice touch, lots of room for parking and a place for young ones to go when they need to hit the hay.
Thank you Janice and Jim for making our daughter's graduation as a Doctor even more special

Cayuga Lake House
Review submitted: May 30, 2011 Date of arrival: May 19, 2011
This was an experience that our family will not forget for a long time. We were in Ithaca for my Son's Graduation. Had a BBQ on Sat. weather was great, sunny, no wind, lake was like a mirror. All of the guests that came loved the screen room and patio. We did not want to spend much time in the City, we enjoyed the house so much. Very comfortable, roomy, everyone had thier privacy if wanted. The only complaint was that there was not enough hangers. Not much activity on the lake. View was fantastic, moon coming up over lake was great! Did visit one winery, nice drive to Ithaca, very scenic. Jim wss great. He was very accomadating. Could not ask for anything better. Will recommend to anyone visiting that area.

Owners response: Glad you loved your visit... Nothing better than to see the moon rise over the lake, it is beautiful. And we've already purchased more hangers! Thanks..

Review submitted: June 29, 2010 Date of arrival: June 15, 2010
We arrived in the afternoon to a very clean cottage. The care taker had opened the place up and had it ready for us. It has 6 or 8 wineries nearby, two with great food. The lake was generally very quiet even on the weekend. Great screened in porch on the backside the we enjoyed mornings and evenings. Dockis nice, lots of chairs to sit on the "beach". Don't expect any sand though, all rocks. No real big deal though- just no sand castles. We brought our own sea kayaks which were easily launched. Three nice bedrooms in the main cabin with a full bath and two half baths. Nice kitchen, well equipped. Guest house across the street has full bath, bed and futon with coffee maker and small fridge. Nice to have TV(it was the World Cup!). If you want to get away from it all this is a great place. Nearest town(Seneca Falls) is 10 miles north. Ithaca is about 25 miles south which is no big deal unless you want to go out for dinner every night. Lots of deer crossing the main road in the evening so you need to be careful driving. All in all it was a very pleasant stay. Owner and tarecaker were great people to work with. Security deposit was returned promptly. I would highly recommend this property!

The unofficial start to summer is finally here but it doesn't exactly feel like summer out there. But that isn't stopping anyone from enjoying Memorial Day Weekend. Eby Pines Campground in Elkhart County is Packed.
This is the first time this season Cedric Hentsch and his family are camping. "Unofficial start to summer and I was hoping it'd be a little warmer but sunny and in the 60's will do," said Hentsch.
Other campers agree this weather will be just fine. Patrick and Cheryl Morgan said, "It's going to be perfect this weekend. Not too hot. It's a little chilly at night but we'll be ok." And Casey Gowen said, "Beautiful, anytime the sun shines it's a beautiful day."
In fact even a little rain wouldn't dampen the holiday weekend for these campers. "You make the best of it, you sit inside and play cards if it's raining," said Hentsch.
That's because camping in the summer is a tradition. "This is our 4th year coming here Memorial Day weekend," said Gowen. And Patrick Morgan said, "I've been coming here since 1973."
And everyone is ready for a long weekend of enjoying the outdoors. "We're gonna kick back relax, eat drink, and have a good time," said Hentsch. Morgan said, "People are eager to get out. It wasn't a hard cold winter but it was long."
So even though it may feel more like Spring than summer, these campers will be making the most of their holiday weekend. "Memorial Day weekend it's a good time to get out and celebrate the holiday," said Gowen.

Chairman's Communique . . .
Dear Professional Colleagues,
The economy of India is the tenth largest in the world by nominal GDP and the third largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). The country is one of the G-20 major economies and a member of BRICS. On a per-capita-income basis, India ranked 141st by nominal GDP and 130th by GDP (PPP) in 2012, according to the IMF. India is the 19th-largest exporter and the 10th-largest importer in the world. The economy slowed to around 5.0% for the 2012–13 fiscal year compared with 6.2% in the previous fiscal. According to Moody's, the Economic Growth Rate of India would be 5.5% in 2014-15. We the Chartered Accountants, as the partners in nation building, must contribute to the development of the nation, and one such platform is the website initiated by our Hon'ble Prime Minister Sri.

Bought the Tsunami in March, 2010. Have used it many…
Price Paid: $975
Bought the Tsunami in March, 2010. Have used it many times since then. This is the BEST kayak. I fell in love with it when I test-paddled the kayak. I didn't even want to try any other kayaks. It glides beautifully in the water. It is so comfortable. Sitting for 2 plus hours is not a problem.
I paddle in a bay in NJ and it does get windy. I don't have a rudder and this kayak just handles so easily, even in a stiff wind. It weighs 50lbs (~23 kg). So, it is easy to load and unload by myself.
I would highly recommend this kayak. The business where I bought it sold all three they had in stock by the end of April 2010! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my kayak.

Lines 1–4: Carroll explicitly defined certain words when the first stanza of this poem was published as a poem in its own right as "Stanza of Anglo-Saxon Poetry." He provided a glossary, or list of meanings, for some of the unfamiliar words; this list was later incorporated into Humpty Dumpty's explica- tion in Alice in Wonderland. The first line begins with the now archaic English contraction for "It was" and contains the noun "brillig" which Carroll says comes from the broiling or grilling done in the early evening (br + ill + i[n]g) in preparation for dinner. "Toves" are supposedly badger-like creatures, and the adjective "slithy" is a portmanteau made up of "lithe" and "slimy." The definition offered for "gyre" in the second line is "to scratch"; "gimble" is defined as "to bore holes." Carroll has directed us to pronounce these both with a hard "g." However, in American English "gyre" is pronounced with the soft sound of the "j" in "june." Furthermore, "gyre" as a noun in its own right means "to circle," so it makes sense that its use as a verb might have that same meaning. "Gimble" is said to be associated with the noun "gimlet," "a small tool for boring holes." "Wabe" is defined by Carroll as "the side of a hill," but the explanation proposed by Alice as a portmanteau of "way + before/ behind" seems much more helpful. Thus, the line can be read, quite poetically, as "Did spin and spike in the way beyond." The second line ends with a semi-colon in some versions of the poem, but with a colon in the last version edited by Carroll. A semi-colon would indicate a lesser break than a period, establishing two independent thoughts connected into one sentence. A colon suggests a further amplification of, or elaboration on, what has already been said, and in fact in this case the colon might stand for a break plus the word "however": "It was evening and the toves were having a great time [; however,] the borogoves weren't very happy and the raths felt so bad they cried." "Mimsy" in line 3 is made up of "flimsy" and "miserable," and the "borogoves" which it describes are said to be parrots. The "raths" of line 4 are defined as turtles, and Carroll offers an interesting etymology, or word history, for the adjective "mome" as being related to "solemn," which he suggests comes from an earlier (imaginary) word "solemome." The verb that ends the stanza is said to derive from a word meaning "to shriek," although Humpty Dumpty is more explicit, indicating that it is something "between bellowing and whistling," which suggests a sobbing, crying kind of sound, and which coupled with the sound of "outgrabe," perhaps might come close to being a past tense form for "outgrieve," or "grieve out[loud]." Carroll's original intention of the alliteration of the hard "g" for "gyre" and "gimble" in line 2 is lost with the American pronunciation of the soft "j" beginning "gyre." However, the assonance between the vowel sounds in "slithy" and "gyre" in lines 1 and 2 remains to emphasize the musicality of the poem, as does the assonance of the short "i" in "brillig," "gimble," and "mimsy" in lines 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and the long "o" sounds in "borogoves" and "mome" in lines 3 and 4. The stanza containing lines 1–4 establishes the setting for the story about to be told. Carroll has offered a literal English translation of the passage:
It was evening, and the smooth active badgers were scratching and boring holes in the hill-side: all unhappy were the parrots; and the grave turtles squeaked out. There were probably sun-dials on the top of the hill, and the "borogoves" were afraid that their nests would be undermined. The hill was probably full of the nests of "raths," which ran out, squeaking with fear, on hearing the "toves" scratching outside. This is an obscure, but deeply-affecting, relic of ancient Poetry.
The first two lines set a scene of lighthearted happiness in which all seems well, but the last two hint at impending doom.
Lines 5–8: The first proper noun in this stanza is related to the title of the poem itself, and so bears some serious consideration in both its form as the thing, the "Jabberwock," and the activity of the thing, "Jabberwocky." The first part of either word is "jabber," and a synonym for this is "babble," a word that brings up immediately an association with the biblical tower erected in the city of Babel. "Babble" thus refers to the sounds that resulted from God's confusion of the supposed one original human language into many so that people could no longer understand each other and cooperate to build the tower to heaven. "-Wock" or "-wocky" may refer to an old Scottish word for "voice." Hence, the "Jabberwock" could be called a "Babble-Voice," and "Jabberwocky" might be "Babblement." The central idea is that a father is warning his son against a creature whose sounds are without meaning.
The father's warning becomes explicit in the sixth line about the dangers inherent in the Jabberwock's jaws and claws. In the seventh line he extends the warning to include a second important creature: the Jubjub bird. Since sound is such a significant feature of this poem, it seems justified to take the sound of "jubjub" as being close to the word "jujube," a candy named for a fruit tree, and to assume an association with the sticky sweetness of the fruit the bird eats. Furthermore, in Carroll's later book-length poem The Hunting of the Snark it is made clear that the Jubjub bird sings songs that are attractive to the Jabberwock, so that one would likely find the Jabberwock in close proximity to the Jubjub bird.
"Frumious" in the eighth line is a portmanteau explained at length in Carroll's preface to The Hunting of the Snark (which he says "is to some extent connected with "Jabberwocky"). In short, to simply have two words packed together as, for example, "fuming-furious," does not have the poetic effect of "frumious," for it stresses the one over the other. Thus, "if you have … a perfectly balanced mind, you will say 'frumious.'" This gives the full effect of both meanings in a familiar-sounding adjective structure that is much more efficient than a hyphenated word.
Also in the eighth line, the third proper noun, "Bandersnatch," has two parts, which appear readily comprehensible: "Bander-" and "-snatch." The "snatch" would of course refer to something which "snatches" or takes, as a "snitch" is one who...

Born in a small town in southern Italy, Mola di Bari, region Puglia, kissed by the sun and the sea, I built my visual education at the European Design Institute in Milan, where I graduated in three years in Virtual Design, In 2006, the turning point in my life, both professional and personal: transfers in Luxembourg. The love for photography has started late, I first had to fill my eyes of millions and millions of images to find out how beautiful and diverse is the world around us. At one point I felt the need to catch the emotions that went by the eyes, heart and soul and print them for ever on an image, with the presumption of gift to those who simply looks at them.

Price finished 6-of-9 from beyond the arc and contributed a game-high 24 points for the Huskies (10-0), who got 21 points, nine rebounds and four assists from Jerome Dyson. Gavin Edwards added 14 points and 12 boards, while Hasheem Thabeet scored nine before fouling out early in the extra session.
UConn coach Jim Calhoun. "Someone has to take charge. We won a great basketball game."
Steven Gray poured in 23 points to pace the Bulldogs (8-2), who have dropped two of their last three games. Jeremy Pargo totaled 16 points, Josh Heytvelt donated 15 points and Austin Daye scored 13.
Matt Bouldin dished to the right corner for Micah Downs, who buried the trey to give Gonzaga a 52-44 advantage early in the second half. Gray's layup stretched the lead to 57-46 with about 12 minutes left.
The Huskies, though, responded with a 12-4 burst to shrink the deficit to 61-58, and Price nailed a trey to make it 63-61 with 7:02 remaining.
Gonzaga continued to nurse a slim lead and UConn trailed 72-70 after Jeff Adrien sank a pair from the charity stripe with 1:44 left in regulation. Price made the second of two free throws with 33.1 seconds remaining, then Bouldin hit two free throws at the other end for Gonzaga with 24.7 seconds to go.
Craig Austrie's three-point try was off the mark for UConn. Dyson pulled down the offensive board and Price threw up a three-pointer over Pargo to tie the score at 74 with 7.8 seconds remaining and quiet the raucous crowd at Key Arena.
In overtime, Dyson made a pair from the foul line to give UConn an 81-77 edge and added a trey to push the advantage to seven with 1:39 left. The Bulldogs refused to go away and pulled within 87-83 on a Pargo layup with 23 seconds to play.
The Huskies held on after Price sank 1-of-2 free throws and Gray's three-point bid didn't connect.
"We lost a tough, tough game to a heck of a basketball team," said Gonzaga coach Mark Few. "We needed one rebound there and a stop. We got the stop, but just didn't get the rebound. Price hit an incredible shot."
UConn came out strong, scoring 13 of the game's first 15 points, but Gonzaga trimmed the deficit to 19-13 on a Pargo layup just under nine minutes into the contest.
After a slam by Edwards gave the Huskies a 33-23 lead with about five minutes remaining, Gray drilled a three-pointer, starting a 14-3 spurt, and Pargo's layup capped the run and gave the Bulldogs their first lead of the game at 37-36. Price sank a pair of free throws in the waning seconds and UConn carried a 38-37 edge to the break.

PITTSBURGH—The Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) has been selected as one of 40 community colleges nationwide to pilot a new Voluntary Framework of Accountability (VFA) that is designed to redefine what "success" means for two-year institutions. The VFA represents the first national system to provide accurate data, operational transparency and the ability for community colleges to benchmark student progress and completion data against peer institutions.
The VFA is being developed by the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) in collaboration with the Association of Community College Trustees and the College Board and with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Lumina Foundation for Education.
The pilot colleges include 37 institutions, two statewide systems and one multi-college district in 29 states. CCAC and Montgomery County Community College in Blue Bell are the only two institutions from Pennsylvania to serve as pilots.
"CCAC is very pleased to be among the pioneering institutions to help develop this important framework," said CCAC President Alex Johnson, who also serves as a member of the Board of Directors of AACC. "The VFA is a natural complement to our ongoing efforts to improve student success at CCAC, including the work of our Institutional Research department through the Achieving the Dream initiative."
The VFA pilot colleges have already begun to test a series of custom metrics that community college professionals developed over the last several months. The project fills what community college advocates have seen as a void in measures appropriate to the unique two-year college mission.
"Many traditional measures of institutional effectiveness don't work well for community colleges," said Walter G. Bumphus, president and CEO of AACC. "For example, most are pegged to full-time students, and the majority of community college students attend part-time. Our overarching goal is to develop measures appropriate to our mission that clearly tell students and policy makers how we're doing."
Pending outcomes of the pilot testing, reaction to the VFA among AACC member institutions and future funding, a full-scale roll-out to the nation's close to 1,200 community, junior and technical colleges could take place starting in 2012.
"The Obama administration and others are focused on greater numbers of student completions and demonstrable measures for how we gauge student success. VFA is the community college response that says, 'We accept that challenge,'" Bumphus said.
About CCAC
The Community College of Allegheny County is the largest institution of postsecondary higher education in Pennsylvania. The college serves 30,000 credit students through 170 degree and certificate programs and offers thousands of lifelong learning non-credit and workforce development courses to 35,000 students annually. Incorporating a learning-centered environment committed to the future of the region, CCAC continues to expand its reach through innovative programming and accessible instruction offered via convenient day, evening, weekend and online courses. With four campuses and six centers serving Allegheny County and surrounding communities, CCAC endeavors to fulfill its mission to provide affordable access to quality education and offer a dynamic, diverse and supportive learning environment that prepares the region's residents for academic, professional and personal success in our changing global society.
About AACC
The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) is a non-profit organization representing the nation's close to 1,200 community, junior and technical colleges and their more than 12 million students. Community colleges are the largest and fastest growing sector of higher education.

Wednesday, Auburn Undercover reportedly reported that Auburn Tigers offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn "has emerged as the clear front-runner" for the soon-to-be-available North Carolina Tar Heels coaching job, according to College Football Talk. Auburn Undercover is a pay site, you see.
UNC blog Carolina March cautioned patience, even though Malzahn has working ties with new UNC AD Bubba Cunningham from their days with the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.
The latest piece of evidence, though, could only possibly come from the Auburn side of the equation. From AL.com's Evan Woodbery:
An alert Twitter follower of Malzahn's wife, Kristie, noticed that she had started following the mayor of Chapel Hill, N.C., the police department, the UNC student newspaper and other UNC-related feeds on her publicly viewable account.
The Twitter activity tab is the 2k11 private plane tracker, apparently. The DEAD GIVEAWAYS have either been removed or buried beneath all sorts of varied accounts on her follower list. She's not newly followed by very many Heels fans though, which, you know, it's basketball season.
For more on the parties involved, visit UNC blog Carolina March and Auburn blog Track 'Em Tigers.

The frequencies oscillation determined by the IC C209A built in oscillator circuit and the coil L1 form as a part of external LC circuit. The mechanism of the metal detector is as the following : If there is a presence of metals, the coil inductance is changed and the resultant change in oscillation is demodulated to create an alarm. The availability of LED is used as a visual indicator. This simple metal detector is able to sense the presence of metals up to a few inches in distance. To adjust the sensitivity, the value of R1 POT need to be adjusted.

Oracle is buying cloud-based talent management and employee recruitment software vendor Taleo for roughly $1.9 billion, the company announced Thursday. The move comes shortly after SAP's move to acquire SuccessFactors, a close competitor of Taleo, for $3.4 billion in a deal that has yet to close.
"Human capital management has become a strategic initiative for organizations," said Thomas Kurian, executive vice president, Oracle Development, in a statement. "Taleo's industry leading talent management cloud is an important addition to the Oracle Public Cloud."
[ Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
The Taleo deal is expected to close in the middle of this year and is subject to shareholder approval, Oracle said. Taleo's board has unanimously approved the sale.
Taleo's applications focus on talent management, which includes areas such as recruitment, learning and development, and compensation and succession planning.
It remains to be seen exactly how Taleo's product portfolio will be aligned with Oracle's Fusion HCM (human capital management) software, which is also available as a cloud offering, and has some overlapping functionality.
Together, the companies "expect to create a comprehensive cloud offering for organizations to manage their Human Resource operations and employee careers," Kurian said in a letter to customers. The resulting products will "empower employees and managers to effectively manage careers throughout their entire employment, enable organizations to retain talent and optimize costs, and improve the employee experience through faster on boarding and better collaboration with team members via social media," he added.
Some 5,000 enterprises use Taleo's software, which also handles 15 percent of employee hires in the United States, according to an Oracle document. About half of the world's top career websites run Taleo as well, Oracle said.
SAP has characterized the pending SuccessFactors purchase as something that will give the company needed "cloud DNA" and expertise in that market.
Oracle's announcement of the Taleo deal included no similar sentiments, but Taleo is its second major acquisition, along with customer-service vendor RightNow, of a cloud application vendor in the past six months.
Since SAP announced the SuccessFactors deal, speculation had run rampant that Oracle would make a move in response, with Taleo bandied about as a possible acquisition target.
Salesforce.com has also begun a push into human-resources software with its recent acquisition of Rypple, which focuses on employee performance management.
Unlike other software categories, the types of products sold by SuccessFactors, Taleo and Rypple have relevance to every employee in a company, allowing for more profitable large-scale SaaS deals.
There will likely be additional acquisitions in the HCM arena soon, said HR software analyst Naomi Bloom, managing partner of the consulting firm Bloom & Wallace. "I think we can expect that the boards of Cornerstone, of Ultimate Software, they are undoubtedly having conversations at least among themselves if not potential acquirers."

A dog attacked a Prince George deputy, leaving him with some pretty painful injuries.
The deputy was checking on some people inside a home on the 10,000 block of South Crater Road when a pit bull that was locked up somehow got out.
It bit the deputy first on his knee and then on his hand, leaving him with some deep wounds and bruises.
The deputy is recovering at home.
Meanwhile Animal Control has the dog.
There's no word on if any charges will be filed against the dog owner.

A New Way to Get Across the Bay
The San Francisco and East Bay Bicycle coalition is working to create a path that would allow people to bike and walk across the Bay Bridge. The Eastern section from Oakland to Yerba Buena Island is already under construction, but the Western section connecting to the City is still in the planning stages. With the safety of bicyclists in SF a concern, why do people feel this path has taken so long to complete?
SF Cognitive Dissonance
I am so excited for this plan!
As far as the disconnect between our SF values of environmentalism and our delay in completing this project, I feel like it likely comes down to logistics ... fiscal logistics.
The 'bike-themed' music sounds super cool.
This is GREAT news. I am fed
This is GREAT news. I am fed up of awkwardly standing in a busy BART with my bike, trying not to take out other passengers.
Opening the city to Pedestrians has been a long time coming!

I have a 1-Wire temperature sensor IC connected to my small Debian NSLU2 computer and in order to analyze the temperature data generated I'm using a program called RRDtool:
RRDtool is the OpenSource industry standard, high performance data logging and graphing system for time series data.
– Tobi Oetiker
RRDtool is able to make all sorts of graphs for different kinds of data but for now I just need to use it for a single temperature sensor measuring in degrees Celsius.
I start by logging into the NSLU2 from my laptop computer (replace .xx with the address of the NSLU2 on the intranet):
$ ssh email@example.com
and make a directory for
rrdtool, and write a script that will create a basic
rrdtool database:
(Note that
$ in front of command means I'm working as a normal user, and
# means I'm working as super user)
$ cd /home/thomas $ mkdir rrdtool $ cd /home/thomas/rrdtool $ nano create_database.sh
This is what goes into the script:
#!/bin/bash rrdtool create database.rrd --start N --step 300 \ DS:temp:GAUGE:600:U:U \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:12 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:288 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:168 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:720 \ RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:288:365
After the script has been saved you'll need to change the permissions setting of the file to make it executable:
$ chmod +x create_database.sh
rrdtool is already available in the Debian package system – you just need to install it with
$ su # apt-get install rrdtool # exit
When you run the script it will create a file called
database.rrd which contains the
rrdtool database:
$ ./create_database.sh
A directory listing shows that the database file was created:
$ ls -la total 28 drwxr-xr-x 2 thomas thomas 4096 Sep 15 18:50 . drwxr-xr-x 6 thomas thomas 4096 Sep 15 17:49 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 thomas thomas 208 Sep 15 17:52 create_database.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 thomas thomas 13764 Sep 15 18:50 database.rrd
The database has to be updated regularly and the commands for that can be collected in another script that I choose to name
$ nano update_database.sh
The update script takes care of three things:
- Reading the temperature value from the sensor, and formatting the reading
- Updating the database file
- Creating, or updating, image files containing temperature graphs
This is the code for the script:
#!/bin/bash cd /home/thomas/rrdtool # Read temperature from sensor tempread=`cat /home/thomas/owfs/10.4F7494010800/temperature` temp=`echo $tempread | cut -c -4` # Update database rrdtool update database.rrd N:$temp # Create graphs rrdtool graph temp_h.png --start -1h DEF:temp=database.rrd:temp:AVERAGE LINE1:temp#0000FF:"Temperature [deg C]" rrdtool graph temp_d.png --start -1d DEF:temp=database.rrd:temp:AVERAGE LINE1:temp#0000FF:"Temperature [deg C]" rrdtool graph temp_w.png --start -1w DEF:temp=database.rrd:temp:AVERAGE LINE1:temp#0000FF:"Temperature [deg C]" rrdtool graph temp_m.png --start -1m DEF:temp=database.rrd:temp:AVERAGE LINE1:temp#0000FF:"Temperature [deg C]" rrdtool graph temp_y.png --start -1y DEF:temp=database.rrd:temp:AVERAGE LINE1:temp#0000FF:"Temperature [deg C]" #0000FF means blue trace color in the graphs.
(You can find more information about
owfs in this post: How to Read 1-Wire Temperature Using a NSLU2 With Debian )
echo and
cut is used to discard some of the excessive decimals, so that the stored value in the database is for example 23.8 instead of 23.875.
The 5
rrdtool graph commands will create graphs, where the timespan is
h = hour,
d = day,
w = week,
m = month and
y = year.
A directory listing shows that the update script was created:
$ ls -la total 32 drwxr-xr-x 2 thomas thomas 4096 Sep 15 19:04 . drwxr-xr-x 6 thomas thomas 4096 Sep 15 17:49 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 thomas thomas 208 Sep 15 17:52 create_database.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 thomas thomas 13764 Sep 15 18:50 database.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 thomas thomas 843 Sep 15 19:05 update_database.sh
You'll have to modify the permissions of the update script to be able to run it:
$ chmod +x update_database.sh
If everything goes well when you run the script the only output is the dimensions of the 5 graphs:
$ ./update_database.sh 481x163 481x163 481x163 481x163 481x163
and a directory listing now shows that images files have been generated (
.png stands for Portable Network Graphics):
$ ls -la total 76 drwxr-xr-x 2 thomas thomas 4096 Sep 15 19:05 . drwxr-xr-x 6 thomas thomas 4096 Sep 15 17:49 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 thomas thomas 208 Sep 15 17:52 create_database.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 thomas thomas 13764 Sep 15 19:05 database.rrd -rw-r--r-- 1 thomas thomas 7206 Sep 15 19:05 temp_d.png -rw-r--r-- 1 thomas thomas 7966 Sep 15 19:05 temp_h.png -rw-r--r-- 1 thomas thomas 7951 Sep 15 19:05 temp_m.png -rw-r--r-- 1 thomas thomas 8040 Sep 15 19:05 temp_w.png -rw-r--r-- 1 thomas thomas 8630 Sep 15 19:05 temp_y.png -rwxr-xr-x 1 thomas thomas 843 Sep 15 19:05 update_database.sh
You could probably ask
rrdtool to generate
.jpg files instead if you can find a way to do so in the manual.
Now the database has been updated with a single snapshot of the temperature but we would like to continuously capture temperature data and keep the graphs updated. For this purpose we can use Linux
Cron enables users to schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at certain times or dates. It is commonly used to automate system maintenance or administration, though its general-purpose nature means that it can be used for other purposes, such as connecting to the Internet and downloading email.
– Wikipedia
-e option is for editing:
$ crontab -e no crontab for thomas - using an empty one crontab: installing new crontab
Every 5 minutes the update script is run, and any output messages are discarded:
# m h dom mon dow command */5 * * * * /home/thomas/rrdtool/update_database.sh &> /dev/null
If you want to check what jobs are installed you can use the
-l option:
$ crontab -l
Since the NSLU2 doesn't have any monitor connection on it I need to get the graphs copied to a computer with a screen to be able to see the results. For that I use FTP:
$ cd /home/thomas/rrdtool $ ftp
SERVER and
USERNAME below with your own details:
ftp> open (to) SERVER Connected to SERVER. Name (SERVER:thomas): USERNAME ftp> mkdir temp ftp> cd temp ftp> put temp_d.png ftp> put temp_h.png ftp> put temp_m.png ftp> put temp_w.png ftp> put temp_y.png ftp> exit
You could also copy the image files to a USB memory stick and from there onto your PC.
From my server on the Internet I can now download and view the generated graphs.
The first one (
temp_h.png) covers only 1 hour in time and the air temperature is very stable over the hour so this particular graph is not very informative:
temp_d.png is more interesting as you can begin to see changes in the temperature:
temp_w.png needs a lot more time before it has been filled up with data, but if the system is stable the graph will be completed in about a week:
temp_m.png and
temp_y.png are long term graphs but quite interesting to look at when they have been drawn, especially if you mounted the temperature sensor outdoors. There's nothing to see yet though, because the system is new:
I'm going to add more and different kinds of sensors to the NSLU2 logging system in the coming weeks.

The city of Rock Island will soon be the proud owners of about 100 acres on Big Island, after voting tonight to buy it for $1 Million.
The property in question is farmland right now, sitting at the intersection of Highway 92 and Interstate 280, just across the highway from Jumer's Casino.
That's what city leaders say makes it prime real estate for the city.
"I mean they have bus loads of people coming in, and they're going to continue to come in, and part of them will want to go gamble and part of them will want to go shop," Mayor Dennis Pauley explained.
The goal is to give those people a premiere place to do that shopping - and capitalize on that market.
It is a goal aldermen unanimously voted in favor of at Monday's city council meeting, agreeing to buy the land from Riverstone Group Inc. - to open the door for future development.
"It's something that we've been looking into for quite a long time, and the opportunity is amazing," said Alderman Terry Brooks, who represents the First Ward.
Possible development concepts include everything from an outlet mall or retail center, to a sporting goods store, gas station, and restaurants.
City leaders say the million dollar price tag for the land will be money well spent.
"I think it's going to quadruple the amount we put in," Alderman Brooks said.
"It's going to increase the tax base. It's going to help us tremendously," added Mayor Pauley.
Now, even with city council agreeing to buy the land, it will still be a while before any businesses could open on the site.
This was just the first step in a much longer process, which will require the city to annex about 10 acres, re-zone the area, and of course, find a developer.
"You have to have vision," Mayor Pauley said, "This isn't something that's going to happen in six weeks. It's not going to happen in a year. But you have to have vision and you have to have a thing for the future."
The next step is for the city to wire a $10,000 payment to be held in escrow while the deal is finalized. The rest of the money will be due as a cash down payment at the time of closing.
The closing date is set for mid-March.

Auditors' doubts over future of Newport Gwent Dragons
10:18am Monday 9th July 2012 in Dragons By David Deans , Reporter
AUDITORS of Newport Gwent Dragons have cast doubt over whether the region can continue as a going concern.
In recent filed accounts for the year to May 2011, auditors Arthur Gait & Company said the region has liabilities of £2.4 million and incurred a net loss of £272,141.
"These conditions... indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern," the accounts read.
The accounts of Dragons Rugby Limited say that the directors considered there were "adequate facilities for the company's requirements" for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of the balance sheet.
"However the margin of facilities over requirements is not large and inherently there can be no certainty in relation to these matters."
The accounts show that Dragons Rugby Limited owes £762,207 to its parents company Newport Rugby Football Club Ltd, and owes £1.16 million to sister firm Rodney Parade Ltd.
On both Newport Rugby Football Club and Rodney Parade's accounts, the auditor says: "Dragons Rugby Limited may not... be able to repay this amount to the company".
Dragons Rugby is dependent on continuing financial support from the Welsh Rugby Union, its bankers, directors, "group undertakings" and others, according to the accounts.

A Lee County mother was arrested after causing a ruckus at a high school football practice Monday night. She says she was standing up her son who she claims was shoved by his coach.
Vandria West was arrested at Lee County High School and charged with disorderly conduct after arguing with Coach Dean Fabrizio and refusing to leave the practice field.
She claims Coach Fabrizio pushed her when she confronted him at practice over the treatment of her son. Josh West told us the coach snatched him by the shoulder pads and screamed and cursed at him.
Vandria West said, "Coach Fabrizio had no right putting his hands on my child, and I had no right going to jail defending my child."
Lee County High School Principal Kevin Dowling says the arresting officer and other witnesses told him Coach Fabrizio did not touch player and only pushed the mother's finger out of his face after she poked him in the face. He emailed us the following statement.
"After talking with the arresting officer, as well as a few who were on the scene at the time of the incident, I have gathered the following information:
1. A parent came onto our practice field during practice this afternoon and confronted Coach Fabrizio, accusing him of striking or grabbing her child. This information was given to the parent from her son. The confrontation occurred in front of players, coaches, and bystanders.
2. Coach Fabrizio did not put his hands on the player in question. This was confirmed by the police officer, after his interview with several who were there at the time of the alleged incident.
3. Several attempts to calm the parent down (as well as to ask the parent to leave the field) proved ineffective. After the parent struck Coach Fabrizio in the face with a finger, the police were called, and the parent was arrested for disorderly conduct. It is my understanding that other charges may be pending.
We have a procedure for parents who wish to address concerns and/or complaints about teachers, directors, coaches, and/or sponsors. Making a scene at practice (or after a contest) is not part of that procedure. Meeting the following day to address these concerns with the sponsor, our Athletic Director and/or an administrator is how we expect these sorts of issues to be handled. It is my expectation that this procedure will be followed by all who are a part of our school community."

ST. PETERSBURG -- With Giancarlo Stanton missing from the lineup, power has been in short supply for the Marlins. And, not surprisingly given the cavernous dimensions of Marlins Park, the vast majority of their home runs have come on the road.
Justin Ruggiano is the Marlins' poster child for power disparity between home and away.
Ruggiano hit his eighth home run Monday, a solo shot. Every one of Ruggiano's blasts has come on the road.
Of the Marlins' major league-low 26 homers, 18 have been struck in out-of-town parks.
What's more, the bulk of the Marlins' home runs — 19 — have been solo shots. Seven of Ruggiano's homers have come with the bases empty.
Sandwiching his solo home run Monday were a pair of bases-loaded situations in which he came up empty.
Sanabia on DL
As expected, the Marlins on Monday placed Alex Sanabia on the 15-day disabled list with a groin injury and called up left-handed reliever Dan Jennings from Triple A New Orleans.
Though the Marlins have yet to name a starter to take Sanabia's place — at least until Nathan Eovaldi comes off the DL in another week to 10 days — the club is leaning toward having Wade LeBlanc rejoin the rotation.
Eovaldi is expected to make one or two more rehab starts before the Marlins activate him.
• Kevin Slowey said he is "100 percent" healthy for his scheduled start Tuesday. Slowey came out of his previous start with what was announced as a lat injury.
Morrison closer
Despite hitting just .174 (4 for 23) during his rehab stint at Single A Jupiter, first baseman Logan Morrison is moving on to Double A Jacksonville as he inches closer to emerging from the DL and joining the Marlins.
Manager Mike Redmond said that Morrison, because he is in need of at-bats, will likely spend the maximum 20 days on rehab before the Marlins activate him.
Going deep
Ashley Koehler, wife of Marlins pitcher Tom Koehler, hit a pair of home runs. But the Marlins still lost to the Rays in the annual wives game 13-12. Ashley Koehler played collegiate softball at Stony Brook.
The Rays' wives won when Sarah Fuld, who is pregnant, scored from first on a walk-off single by Alison Shelton, wife of Rays hitting coach Derek Shelton.
Coming up
• Tuesday: Marlins RHP Kevin Slowey (1-5, 3.30 ERA) at Tampa Bay Rays RHP Jeremy Hellickson (2-2, 5.37), 7:10 p.m., Tropicana Field.
• Wednesday: Marlins RHP Tom Koehler (0-2, 3.18) vs. Rays RHP Roberto Hernandez (2-5, 5.73), 7:10 p.m., Marlins Park.
• Scouting report: Hellickson has allowed first-inning runs in seven of his 10 starts this season. Opposing batters are hitting .350 against Hellickson with runners in scoring position, and 17 of the 37 runs he has allowed have come with two outs.

A gas pipeline ruptured in Enka, NC, on Friday, causing a large explosion and fire.
PSNC Energy said they responded to the gas line fire on Sandhill Road, off of Smokey Park Highway, after a 12-inch pipeline was damaged on Friday afternoon.
According to fire officials, 50-foot flames were coming from the gas line.
Kelly Klope of the Asheville Fire Department said over 40 firefighters responded to the fire that was extinguished at 5:35 p.m.
Several vehicles were reported to be on fire near the scene, and two businesses and several homes suffered heat damage, according to Klope.
PSNC Energy said there are no reports of injuries and residential service has not been interrupted.
Klope said the rupture is under investigation and she did not know when the line will be restored or Sandhill Road will be reopened.
Brad Edwards of Buncombe County Emergency Management said local residents and businesses were evacuated and sent to Enka Baptist Church after the explosion.
PSNC Energy asked customers to conserve gas in western North Carolina on Friday night following the explosion.
