What is the secret to getting carrots to germinate?
Rate This FAQ
Q. What is the secret to getting carrots to germinate? It seems that in keeping them wet, I wash away the thin layer of soil over them, no matter how fine the spray. Also, can they be grown in a wide row?
A. Yes, carrot stand establishment can be a problem and getting adequate plant stands is difficult. The difficulty is that carrots are slow to germinate and often take from 10-14 days to get the seed root to show. It then takes another week to get the seed leaves to emerge. This slow germination requires different planting methods to ensure that stands of adequate number are achieved. If the seed is not stored properly, germination is reduced. Start with good seed, a well prepared seedbed and try not to seed too heavily.
Your approach of trying to keep the seeds moist means lots of time and effort spent in the garden. Here is a better approach:
* Prepare your planting area by sowing your seeds on the surface of the soil. Moisten the area and then cover the soil surface with burlap bags, an old piece of carpet, old pieces of board or plywood or any other material. You want to have a moist soil surface that doesn't dry out.
* After a few days, periodically check to see if the seed is germinating. Once you see the seed leaves you can remove the covers. However, don't take the covers off completely but use them to shield the plants from the sun for a few days. Seedlings grown this way are more tender and need to be hardened off a little.
* You can use these methods on rows or wide beds. I grow my carrots on beds because they take up less space and are easier to care for throughout the season. Once up and established, you can thin them out a bit.
* As you get used to this method, you will have to refine your seeding practice since most gardeners over-seed carrots just to get a few to emerge.

Winter athletes compete for spots on 2014 Olympic team in Utah this weekend
Rick Bowmer, ASSOCIATED PRESS
This weekend, winter athletes will be vying for spots on the U.S. Olympic team in a series of qualifying events.
First will be the long track speedskating trials. Races begin Friday with the men's 5,000-meter and women's 3,000-meter races. Up to 20 athletes can be named to the long track team — 10 men and 10 women.
Contenders for the U.S. team are world sprint champion Heather Richardson and former inline skating champion Brittany Bowe, who set a world record at the Utah Olympic Oval last month. On the men's side, skaters are led by three-time Olympian Shani Davis, who holds two world records and multiple Olympic medals.
In addition to the competitions, there are a number of activities associated with the races and the athletes who will represent the United States in the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia this February.
Saturday the long track races continue at the Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns, and the Nordic combined team will also be racing that day in Park City.
The Nordic combined team will be decided Saturday in a two-part competition. Athletes will participate in ski jump first. The second half of the competition is a 10-kilometer cross-country ski race. The best ski jumper starts first, and subsequent skiers begin the cross-country race in order of their jump finish — with highest finishers leaving closer to the top jumper.
Olympic gold medalist Billy DeMong leads a talented group of hopefuls. In 2010 the U.S. Nordic combined team, led by DeMong, earned four medals, the first Olympic medals in the discipline in U.S. history.
DeMong said he decided to continue skiing the World Cup circuit even after achieving his goal of winning gold (and silver) in the 2010 Vancouver Games because he wanted to ensure the sport continued to have success. Also vying for spots on the 2014 team are Colorado natives and Westminster students Taylor Fletcher and Bryan Fletcher.
"Honestly, now with the Fletcher brothers, and seeing that we can successfully pass this baton on, having them both on the World Cup podium I feel completely satisfied," DeMong said. "Four years ago, I spent more time worrying about whether we could continue to build the program than I did about my own success, but that's changed now. We've shown we can pass that torch. These are the perfect gentlemen to do that. They're both engaged with younger athletes, and they're capable athletes."
On Sunday, the long track athletes will continue with men's and women's 1,000-meter races, while both men and women will ski jump for a shot at the U.S. ski jump teams. This will be the first Olympic Games to include women in ski jumping competitions, an effort that was spearheaded by American jumpers.
With reigning world and national champion Sarah Hendrickson still recovering from a knee injury, the U.S. hopefuls are led by Lindsey Van, who won the first-ever women's ski jump world championship in 2009, and Jessica Jerome, who recently had two top 10 finishes in World Cup competition.
Hendrickson still hopes to return in time to compete in Sochi.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Kings Falling Apart
by Paul on 04/09/06 at 10:08 AM ET
Comments (0)
There were perhaps 9,000 (this is a liberal estimate) present at 18,118-seat Staples Center for the start of the Kings-Ducks non-rivalry game Saturday afternoon. This was an indication of the lack of urgency people with tickets felt about getting to the game, won, 4-2, by the playoff-bound Ducks. The lack of urgency mirrored the play of the Kings. And so it is that the Kings sink rapidly into the NHL sunset with a textbook demonstration on how a team can come apart at the seams.read on

RE: Large Crowd At NAACP Session Condemns Police Shootings:
This stuff is getting to be old. The NAACP is the one racially exclusive and racist organization that everyone is expected to bow down before.
If the NAACP gets special treatment and the investigative reports of the shootings are delivered to them, the same copies should be delivered to the KKK as well to keep everything fair and equal.
After all, both organizations are racist groups and racially exclusive. Both organizations spread their venom and spread their seeds of hatred throughout the community.
The only difference between the two organizations is that the government bows to the NAACP and curses the KKK, while in reality they both need to be cursed and ignored. Neither, during their existence, contributed anything of value to society.
All I can say is the law-abiding people are a little safer today because the community is less two criminals.
Roy Glenn
* * *
What research did you do to back up the statement that the NAACP is racially exclusive? Have you filled out a membership card and been denied?
The NAACP has contributed many things to the history of this society. The organization continues to provide guidance and help to those who need it.
It is a slap in the face to all who have benefited from the NAACP as well as to the people who felt the need to stand up and give their lives in the Jim Crow days because blacks were treated like animals and lower than second-class citizens. The KKK has lynched, shot and intimidated black people for years. The only thing that is different today is that they can be prosecuted for it.
Why don't you go and Google the history of this fair nation or sign up to take history classes at Chattanooga State and learn something.
As for a safe community, if you read the Bible, there will be no safe place on this earth in the last days. The only thing that will keep you safe is the protection provided by Jesus - not the Chattanooga Police Department. If you would like some scriptures to study about this, just let me know. Denise Morris
There's no comparing the NAACP to the KKK. Apparently, Mr. Glenn is sorely lacking in knowledge of the KKK VS the NAACP. First, if not for the horrors committed by the KKK and no court that would convict them, there would have never been a need for the NAACP and other human rights group to protect particular segment of the population on American soil. If not for those horrors committed against a people, primarily for their race alone, there would have never been a need to declare a particular segment of the American population a "Protected Class." Furthermore, there were whites at the NAACP meeting last night. I personally had the privilege and was honored to briefly meet with both Mr. Heyward's family and also a member of Mr. Dunn, Jr.'s family, the young man killed by East Ridge Police. Yes, the meeting was emotional. I saw tears. I saw emotions spilling over. And I also saw Mr. Marine, Mr. Heyward's father, walk over to Sgt. Weary and give her a hug. Something not mentioned in any of the media outlets. Watching Sgt. Weary up close, I also gained a new and better respect for her as well. I was humbled by her emotions and especially the way Mr. Marine reached out to her. One can't be in the presence of this man, Mr. Marine, and not feel his compassion, his love for all humanity and his ability to reach across the isle. Even in his grief and simply wanting answers, it's obvious, he holds no animosity or hatred. So before anyone condemn Mr.Heyward's family and the family Mr. Dunn, Jr. - and make snide and crude remarks about them (I've personally heard a few), why don't you meet with them and get to know them? They're all kind, humble and generous people. I felt I was in the presence of true greatness, just by meeting them. It was an honor. Finally, if anyone is confused and can't distinguish the difference between the KKK and the NAACP then just go the the website, withoutsanctuary.org, and take a brief tour down the history lanes of America. It's not all that old or all that long ago. Brenda Manghane~Washington
* * *
I seek to be as open minded as possible regarding most matters so I attended the NAACP meeting on Tuesday night. I wanted to know what this long standing organization had to say about the three recent killings. My presence at this meeting did not go unnoticed as my white skin garnered the questions by fellow attendees, "Who are you here for?" and "Who do you work for?" I imagine most thought I was part of Mr. Dunn's family and supporters. Comparing the NAACP to the KKK is ludicrous. Could a black person just stroll into a KKK meeting as I did the Tuesday night meeting?
The meeting started out very polite and orderly but deteriorated into the emotionally charged affair reported by the Chattanoogan.com after Sgt. Weary was asked about how much she was paid to lie about the incident. One man began yelling repeatedly, "They murder us!" before becoming so disgusted that he left the meeting. It was around this time that near physical confrontation erupted between two ladies after one told the other to "shut up".
What I learned from the meeting is that there still exists a great racial divide in the city of Chattanooga. The divide is not only between the two races, but as evidenced by Mr. Dunn's family, between the people and law enforcement. The road to see this divide bridged and repaired, should people decide to take it, is a very long one.

The Supreme Court's decision has been welcomed by the Canadian Council on Justice and Corrections (CCJC), a coalition of 11 churches which together have 14,000 congregations in Canada. The last execution of a criminal in Canada took place in 1962 and the country abolished the death penalty in 1976.
In a statement released after the Supreme Court decision, the CCJC said: "We strongly believe that neither our sense of morality or justice stops at the 49th parallel [which divides Canada and the U.S.] for any Canadian, or any Canadian legislator . …our church coalition . …[believes] unequivocally that state-sanctioned executions are wrong, in every case, for everyone, everywhere. Canada should always seek guarantees that the death penalty will not be carried out in such cases. Our extradition policy must affirm rather than undermine our country's official policy against the death penalty."
Canadians Glen Sebastian Burns and Atif Ahmad Rafay have been held in a jail in Vancouver, British Columbia, since they were charged with the brutal murder on of Rafay's parents and sister at their home in Seattle on July 13, 1994.
It is alleged that Burns battered the three people to death with a baseball bat while Rafay stood and watched. The pair, then aged 18-years-old, allegedly hoped to collect on the family insurance policy.

A proposed rule-based editing metaphor intuitively lets artists create buildings without changing their workflow. It's based on the realization that the rule base represents a directed acyclic graph and on a shift in the development paradigm from product-based to rule-based representations. Users can visually add or edit rules, connect them to control the workflow, and easily create commands that expand the artist's toolbox (for example, Boolean operations or local controlling operators). This approach opens new possibilities, from model verification to model editing through graph rewriting.

Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint's Charlotte, N.C., franchise partners, Jerry Licari and Tim Verhagen, have expanded their development agreement to include eight more units throughout the market.
According to a news release, they will add new units in the Charlotte neighborhoods of South Charlotte, Plaza Midwood, Myers Park, South Park and surrounding suburbs such as Ballantyne, Mooresville and Davidson, N.C.
The second Charlotte-area Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint location will open in Mid-June in Huntersville, N.C., in the NorthCross Shopping Center. To celebrate, the restaurant will serve free 9-inch, any three topping pizzas to all customers in line from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on opening day.
A third location is slated to open in late 2014 or early 2015.
Licari and Verhagen have been Uncle Maddio's franchisees since 2010. They operate the first systemwide location testing a new breakfast menu for Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint featuring breakfast pizzas, Panini and breakfast calzones, called Break-zones. The Uncle Maddio's breakfast menu was introduced in late 2013 at the 101 South Tryon Street location in Charlotte's Overstreet Mall and has received positive feedback, the company said.
"Our Uptown Charlotte customers love the Uncle Maddio's breakfast menu," Licari said. "One of the best parts of working with [founder Matt Andrew] and the Uncle Maddio's team is their openness, support and willingness to listen to our creative and entrepreneurial ideas. We suggested breakfast pizzas. Now it is a reality, and we are piloting the concept for the system."

At a recent press event in January, recording artist Ne-Yo revealed that he was in talks to join the next season of the FOX singing competition THE X FACTOR. There's been a few lunches and dinners, but that's all I can say right now," he shared.
At yesterday's Grammy Awards red carpet, Ne-Yo fueled speculation that he may be filling one of the empty judging seats left behind by last season's LA Reid and Britney Spears, telling host Ryan Seacret, "It's conversation. Nothing is set in stone right yet. It's talks."
Ne-Yo was nominated at the 2013 Grammy Awards in the 'Best Dance Recording' category for his featured work on Calvin Harris's song 'Let's Go'.
Ne-Yo released his debut album, In My Own Words, in 2006 which contained the US number one hit "So Sick", as well as the top 10 hit "Sexy Love". In 2007, he released his second album, Because of You, which contained the US top 3 hit, Because of You.
In 2008, he released his third album, Year of the Gentleman, which contained the top 10 hits Closer, Mad and Miss Independent. His fourth studio album, Libra Scale, was released on November 22, 2010. In 2009, Billboard ranked him as the 57th Artist of the 2000s decade. In addition to a successful recording career, Ne-Yo has amassed a catalog of chart-topping songs that he has written for other artists.

With all of the spice notes of December's Mixology Monday finally clear from our palates, it's time to settle into the hibernation mode of January. Well, sometimes I have a ton of energy during the winter and focus it on cooking and drinking projects since I do not feel like leaving the house. And other times, the darkness and cold get to me, and drinking is about getting it done via popping a beer bottle cap or making something simple yet effective at the bar. Moreover, when I'm at work, a drink ticket for highballs is perfect when I'm in the weeds. This less labor intensive aspect fits right in with our MxMo this month, so let me introduce Joel of the Southern Ash blog.
This month's theme slated for January 20th is a simple yet classic two-parter of "Highballs." Please read Joel's full announcement post, but here is a brief description:
Highball – n. 1. a long iced drink consisting of a spirit base with water, soda water, etc. -Collins English Dictionary Complete & Unabridged 10th Edition… For this month's theme, I thought we could strip away the complexities of cocktails and relax with a nice highball… Most cocktails are at least three ingredients with the highball relegated to emergency or last resort status, but in those highballs we will seek refuge. The end of the day is sometimes better served by a simple liquor plus mixer combination than an artfully measured Corpse Reviver No. 2 This month, tell us what you'll do with a liquor and a mixer (with maybe a wee bit of garnish) to ease into the new year.
Want to figure out what the best gin and tonic combination is? Perfect! If you do the same for rum and ginger beer, that's great but just don't call it a Dark & Stormy for legal issues. Ah wait, we're poor bloggers anyways and that sort of stuff could only drive up the traffic. Strange and usual sodas from the ethnic aisle of the supermarket are a great way to go especially if you have access to tasty things like Ting grapefruit soda. A wine spritzer with some strange quinquina or aromatized wine? Whoa. Briefly, here's how to participate:
- Find or create a recipe that somehow fits the definition of a highball, then post the recipe, including a photo and your remarks, on your blog, tumblr, or website. If you lack one of those, feel free to post on eGullet's Spirits and Cocktails forum.
- Include the MxMo logo in your post, plus links back to the Mixology Monday and Southern Ash sites. Once the roundup post is put up, updating your post to include a link to that one as well would be appreciated.
- Let the Joel know about your post before midnight on Monday night, January 20th by posting a link to your post in the comment section on his announcement post, by shooting him an email at southernashblog (at) gmail (dot) com.
That gives everyone two weeks to start figuring out what club night soda gun libation they want to pay to tribute to or what complex sparkly herbal interplay can be generated with two ingredients, ice, and a straw. With the limitations in place, I'm excited to see what drinks people will come up with to make drinking that much easier to do!

That's interesting. I didn't know that on the same side, each magnet bar alternate poles. So when paired together each magnet bar from each side are of opposite poles so they attract?

I saw it at some obscene time in the morning and I had a serious uncontrolled laugh at the picture with a wrench and a screwdriver and something else when the magnets lined up.
I actually feel a little unsettled knowing that there is so much power sitting next to my head.
Yeah that's actually been discussed before as to if something like HE-6 is even actually safe....it's a little scary to think of the current we're running next to our heads and the amount of EM radiation being beamed a few inches from our brains. I think I did see an explanation that the metal cage on the inside effectively acts as an absorber for the radiation in the same way the screen in a microwave oven's window works....but it is actually scary and makes one really hope Fang didn't take any shortcuts with that

In my rig, from dark to bright, the HE6 is the most "neutral" (LCD2.1, HE6, HD800/K1000).
And it's still my favorite headphone
Agreed, he's doing both the HE6 and himself an injustice by not listening to one at least out of a Darkstar/EF6.

This comes as something of a surprise. My Marantz 2285 has developed a slight, but unforgiving buzz in the left channel so alternatively I tried my Zana Deux as preamp into my Beta 22. The sound is undoubtedly impressive, Mike from headphonia once remarked it was the best he'd heard the HE6, but this is no match to my Marantz. From a technicalities viewpoint the detail is a bit more etched and the imaging more pinpoint; but the bombast, the warmth, the thick weighty bass, the dynamics, the wide openness around instruments are quite apart from the Marantz. The vocals are also noticeably more muffled and less euphonic, also less forward than the Marantz. I always believed the synergy of the HE6/Marantz was very good, but was not up to par with say Zana/HD650, Zana/AD2000, CSP2+/Taboo > LCD 2 - this was quite incorrect. The synergy between these components is absolutely top-tier. I've been spoiled immensely by this headphone.

The amps we tried after the Marantz was a Primaluna tube amp and three Sim Audio pieces. Those Sims still stick in my head, especially the 125w Moon Evolution 600i. http://www.simaudio.com/moon600i.htm

I'm starting to think of the HE6 as the upgrade of the HD600 I had a while back in the warmth but somewhat neutral the HD600 had. With what I'm hearing with the HE6 it has that slight hint of warmth that I really liked about the HD600.

Took a drive over to Berkeley the other day in order to visit one of their special dispensaries in order to be fully stocked up for when the opportunity presented itself for an intense listening session. That opportunity came last night.
Still lacking the adapter cable to use with the BAT speaker taps, decided to plug the HE-6 into the headphone output of the Leben CS-600 integrated. The Leben is rated at 32 watts into the nominal 8 ohms, and has been retubed with NOS RCA and Sylvania black plates. One thing for sure, the Leben loves the 50 ohm impedance of the HE-6 since the background was dead silent as opposed to the slight hum heard with the Senns or the Audio Technicas. Not being all that familiar with Ohm's Law, estimated the HE-6 was seeing over 3 watts of tube goodness.
Wanted to feed the HiFiMans with the best source material at hand which at this house consists of the Universal Japan SHM-SACD classic rock re- releases played on a Marantz Reference Series SA-7S1 with the gear powered by a PS Audio Premier.
Also wanted to hear tracks that are totally familiar, ones that were heard on vinyl when they were initially released. In order to write a proper review, which this is most certainly not, one must take notes, but with only a few leds as a light source, and not being on the Stereophile payroll, having fun was the first priority.
Initially listened to "High Tide and Green Grass" by the Stones. The first two cuts exemplify the contrast in just how well some early Stones recordings were produced as well as how badly they could sound as well. The instrumental tracks of "Satisfaction" were recorded in stereo at Chess Studios in Chicago whereas "The Last Time" and the vocal overdubs for (I Can't Get No....) were recorded at RCA Hollywood in mono.
Of course Keith's infamous fuzz guitar riff sounded incredibly lifelike, but what struck this listener was how well Brian's rhythm guitar chords along with Ian Stewart's piano, which is buried very deeply in the mix, could be heard and appreciated through the HiFiMANs. Brian Jones' driving guitar riff in the "Last Time" is incredibly difficult to reproduce correctly on even a hi-end digital rig but with the HE-6/Leben combo, this aficionado was grinning from ear-to-ear.
Proceeded to play a series of favorite individual tracks but want to comment specifically on the newly released SACD of the initial effort from Black Sabbath, the very first heavy-metal recording. Oh man, the impact of the first four tracks was incredible. Perhaps the bass would sound even better from the taps of the BAT, but it is a little difficult to imagine by how much.
In conclusion, the HE-6 is obviously a very special headphone. They are neutral with the uncanny ability to get out of the way and allow the music to shine through. Not shine brightly however, but with what might be termed an inner-light. And what is most impressive, is that the HE-6 is the only headphone this music lover is familiar with that sound like one is listening to a pair of loudspeakers.

The K1000 are considered "bright" - even more so than the HD800s? Even on a speaker amp?
I still have an interest in the K1000.

Skylab loves his Leben. Good to see others making the effort to find the top end of these cans performance. I don't know that we have yet as I'm constantly shown improving levels of performance, only restricted by the gear it's hooked to. When you strap on that BAT, I suspect you will be impressed. Check out a quality recorded live event and hear how articulate the ambient ques are. I think the HE should be nicknamed minimags.
Man i would really love to hear them out of an Atma-Sphere amp, too bad there arent any dealers nearby. And their cheapest amp is 4k for the S-30 MkIII.1...but all tube, output transformerless, circlotron...that must be good

HIBBING, Minn. (AP) — It's been 20 years since one of Minnesota's deadliest airplane tragedies killed 18 people near Hibbing.
On this day in 1993, a commuter plane that departed from Minneapolis crashed. Sixteen passengers and two crew members on Northwest Airlink Flight 5719 died. The plane crashed into an iron-ore mound on approach to the Chisholm-Hibbing Airport.
There was light snowfall and freezing drizzle at the time. But a National Transportation Safety Board investigation faulted the pilot, questioning his proficiency at the controls and his excessively steep descent.
There is a plaque at the site of crash.

Longer lines at the airport may be frustrating for flyers, but they're a good sign business is taking off. Our Erin Vannella reports.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- "We're seeing up to 5,000 people per day at checkpoint, which is quite a significant number of people to be departing from the airport on a regular basis," said Albany International Airport CEO John O'Donnell.
Expect to wait in line before getting off the ground this month. The number of flyers across the country is on the rise.
"Basically, it's pent up demand for leisure travelers," said O'Donnell. "People hadn't been taking vacations the last couple of years. They were driving not flying, but we're seeing more flying vacations this summer."
August has seen the biggest spike in ticket sales, locally this week in particular. Last year airlines checked out below average. Albany International Airport's CEO says it's proof of a recovering economy. Some flyers aren't sold.
"People seem to be flying up north to get some relief from the weather even though you seem to have had the weather also," said Florida resident Rick Simon.
"I think people are traveling a little bit more but we haven't had any problems with back-ups or delays or anything," said Florida resident Cheryl Lamb.
"It says people have more money to spend," said Florida resident Peter Stubblefield. "I don't know if it's a true indication of our economy."
Whatever the reason, a growing crowd can't be denied and should be respected.
"Peak departure times are early morning and mid afternoon, so get here 90 minutes early to get on your plane and to your destination," said O'Donnell.

Elliptic Labs' 3rd Gesture Dimension
posted by Bryon Moyer
Some time back we briefly introduced Elliptic Labs' ultrasound-based gesture technology. They've added a new… layer to it, shall we say, so we'll dig in a bit deeper here.
This technology is partially predicated on the fact that Knowles microphones, which are currently dominant, can sense part of the ultrasonic range. That means you don't necessarily need a separate microphone to include an ultrasound gesture system (good for the BOM). But you do need to add ultrasound transmitters, which emit the ranging signal. They do their signal processing on a DSP hub, not on the application processor (AP) – important, since this is an always-on technology.
With that in place, they've had more or less a standard gesture technology, just based on a different physical phenomenon. They see particular advantage for operation in low light (where a camera may be blind), full sun (which can also blind a camera), and where power is an issue: they claim to use 1/100th the power of a camera-based gesture system. So… wearables, anything always-on. As long as you don't need the resolution of a camera (which, apparently, they don't for the way they do gestures), this competes with light-based approaches.
What they've just announced is the addition of a 3rd dimension: what they're calling multi-layer interaction (MLI). It's not just the gesture you perform, but how far away from the screen you perform it. Or what angle you are from the screen.
For instance, starting from far away, with your hand approaching, at one point it would wake up. Come in further and it will go to the calendar; further still takes you to messages; and finally on to email. Of course, Elliptic Labs doesn't define the semantics of the gestures and positions; an equipment maker or application writer would do that.
And it strikes me that, while this adds – literally – a new dimension to the interface, the semantic architecture will be critical so that users don't have to mentally map out the 3D space in front of their screen to remember where to go for what. There will have to be a natural progression so that it will be "obvious." For example, if you're gotten to the point of email, then perhaps it will show the list of emails, you can raise and lower your hand to scroll, and then go in deeper to open a selected email. Such a progression would be intuitive (although I use that word advisedly).
A bad design might force a user to memorize that 1 ft out at 30 degrees left means email and at 30 degrees right means calendar and you open Excel with 90 degrees (straight out) 2 ft away and… and… A random assignment of what's where that has to be memorized would seem to be an unfortunate design. (And, like all gesture technologies, care has to be taken to avoid major oopses…)
Note that they don't specifically detect a hand (as opposed to some other object). It's whatever's out there that it registers. You could be holding your coffee cup; it would work. You could be using your toes or a baseball bat; it would work.
You can also turn it off with a simple gesture so that, for example, if you're on your phone gesticulating wildly, you don't inadvertently do something regrettable in the heat of phone passion. Or in case you simply find it annoying.
You can find out more in their announcement.

What Does ConnectOne's "G2" Mean?
posted by Bryon Moyer
ConnectOne makes WiFi modules. And they recently announced a "G2" version. Being new to the details of these modules, I got a bit confused by the number of products bearing the "G2" label as well as the modes available – were they all available in one module, or were different modules for different modes? A conversation with GM and Sales VP Erez Lev helped put things in order.
As it turns out, you might say that ConnectOne sells one WiFi module into multiple form factors. Of the different modules I saw, it was the form factor – pins vs. board-to-board vs. SMT; internal vs. external antenna – that was different, not the functionality.
There are multiple modes that these modules can take on – and these are set up using software commands that can be executed in real time. So this isn't just a design-time configuration; it can be done after deployment in the field.
The modes available are:
- Embedded router
- Embedded access point
- LAN to WiFi bridge
- Serial to LAN/WiFi bridge
- Full internet controller
- PPP emulator
But what about this "G2" thing? Their first-generation modules were based on Marvell's 8686 chip. And that chip has been end-of-lifed. Or, perhaps better said, it's been 86ed. So in deciding where to go next, they settled on a Broadcom baseband chip – something they said gave Broadcom a boost in an area they're trying to penetrate.
But the challenge was in making this change transparent to users. Existing software invokes the new chip just like it did the old one, and this took a fair bit of work. They say they were successful, however, so that upgrading from the older to the newer version takes no effort; it just plugs in.
So "G2" reflects this move to the Broadcom chip as their 2nd-generation module family. From a feature standpoint, the big thing it gets them is 802.11n support. But they also have a number of unexposed features in their controller. Next year they'll be announcing a "G3" version, with higher performance and… well, he didn't share all of what's coming. But G3 will have all of the same pinouts, form factors, APIs, etc. for a seamless upgrade from G2 (or G1, for that matter).
You can get more detail in their announcement.

IPSO Alliance Provides IoT Objects
posted by Bryon Moyer
Some time back we took a look at Internet-of-Things (IoT) communications in an attempt to digest some of the vague marketing messages from various companies participating in that business. I identified three layers: formal protocols overlaid by abstract messaging overlaid by business objects.
The "formal protocols" layer is typically referred to generically as the "transport" (even though it may or may not contain formal OSI transport-layer functionality). When IoT comms folks talk about being standards-based, this is typically where most of the standards lie, whether it's TCP/IP or Zigbee or whatever.
Above that is the generic messaging layer, and it's simply a way to encode information for shipment elsewhere. There are no semantics, and the receiving entity needs to understand how the message was built in order to unpack it properly. The contents themselves aren't standardized. We identified Xively as an example of this, but there are other standards working here as well; MQTT would be an example. DDS is another one. Note that, at this level, there may be some level of prescribed format, but there are no prescribed semantics for specific types of endpoints.
Such semantics belong in the layer above, where we find business objects. Just to clarify the difference here, let's take 3 examples:
- In one case, a generic message protocol might be leveraged to carry, say, instructions to a thermostat. Let's say there are a couple header bytes and then a message field. The designer could use the first byte of the message field to identify that this is going to a thermostat and the second byte could identify which thermostat, and then the following bytes would carry the instruction and any data (for instance, "set temperature to 72"). This structure has been defined for this system only, and both ends of the system need to know what the various bytes signify in order to communicate.
- In another case, more like DDS, there may already be a provision for generic "topics." So, in this case, the designer could encode instructions just like above, but rather than having to build in a field for "thermostats," he or she could simply use a thermostat topic to which interested subscribers could subscribe. The specific thermostat instructions would still be custom, but some of the infrastructure for getting the messages to interested parties is built into the protocol.
- Those prior two fall short of containing business object semantics because the thermostat-specific instructions are custom. The third example would, by contrast, include a thermostat object, and that object would have a pre-defined API. You wouldn't "invent" codes for "set temp," "turn on," "turn off," etc.; they would be part of the protocol. The benefit here is that any system talking to a thermostat from any vendor supporting the protocol would work. There's no vendor lock-in (which may not be viewed as a benefit by some vendors).
The IPSO Alliance has put together a "starter pack" of IoT objects. They've done so given that their main objective, proliferation of IP, can be extended to include constrained-resource Things via IPv6 and 6LoWPAN. The reference implementation leverages the Lightweight M2M protocol, designed for device management and services, which is itself based on the new CoAP protocol, which provides messaging for low-bandwidth, low-power devices with constrained resources.
That said, the objects can be implemented over other protocols as well. There's nothing about them that constrains them to IP-based transport.
They've created 18 different objects. Some of them are rather generic:
- Digital input
- Digital output
- Analog input
- Analog output
- Generic sensor
- Power measurement
- Actuation
- Set point
- Load control
So, for instance, while there's not a specific thermostat object, the "actuation" object allows for turn on/off, and the "set point" object allows for setting a value, like the temperature.
Then there are some specific objects:
- Illuminance sensor
- Presence sensor
- Temperature sensor
- Humidity sensor
- Light control
- Power control
- Accelerometer
- Magnetometer
- Barometer
Each object has defined "resources." For example, the Illuminance sensor object has the following resources:
- Sensor value
- Units
- Min measured value (since last reset)
- Max measured value (since last reset)
- Min range value
- Max range value
- Reset min/max measured values
Each resource has its own ID. Names and IDs are registered through the Open Mobile Alliance (the group that defined LWM2M) Name Authority.
You can read more about the announcement here, and the "starter pack" guidelines are available here.

Title: Dietes bicolor invasive from Brisbane Australia
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:We have dietes bicolor growing in our garden. I am changing the type of garden and cannot seem to kill it. I've dugged it out, spent too many weekends pulling out every new shoot, used poison, but to no effect. I cannot replant this garden until I can get rid of this plant. Any suggestions?
We are at something of a disadvantage in trying to answer your question. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center (home of Mr. Smarty Plants) is committed to recommending the growth, propagation and protection of plants native to North America. Dietes bicolor (African iris) is native to, well, South Africa, and therefore to neither North America nor Australia. It is widely grown in Central Texas, though of course not at the Wildflower Center. Since we have no experience with it, we were not aware of any tendency to invasiveness. The main problem in getting rid of it is that its root are rhizomes.
Rhizomes are horizontal underground stems that strike new roots out of their nodes, down into the soil, and that shoot new stems out of their nodes, up to the surface. This rhizome activity represents a form of plant reproduction. The irrepressible nature of much of the vegetation you'll find on invasive plants lists is due to the vigor of the rhizomes of these aggressive plants.
Looking at these images of rhizomes will help you understand how difficult your task may be. If the plants you have in your garden are not too large, you may be able to dig out the whole network of roots in one mighty shovelful, but probably not. After removing as much as possible, and discarding the clump of dirt with the rhizomes in it where they roots won't be able to reproduce yet again, try to kill any remaining portion of the rootlets left behind. Our practice in getting rid of plants that obnoxious is to obtain a small bottle of a wide spectrum herbicide that will kill just about anything, along with some small sponge disposable paintbrushes. If you find a small new plant coming up, cut it off as close to the soil as you can, and then paint the cut root end with some of the herbicide. You must do this quickly after cutting before the rhizome heals itself over to protect the rest of the plant. Properly administered, that herbicide should be able to destroy at least that little fragment of the plant. Prepare to repeat this many times before the rhizomes finally are defeated.

A handful of children across the borough went hungry on their first day back to school after a school dinner operating system stopped working this week.
Southborough High School, which does not accept payment in money for lunches and uses the Parent Pay and finger scan system, was one of the school's affected by the system crash.
One student who had topped up more than £20 for his lunch was told he had no money to pay for his food.
Niall Smith, headteacher at Southborough High, said: "We were extremely sorry to hear that a student of ours went without lunch because of a problem with Parent Pay.
"As many parents will testify, Parent Pay is a tried and tested payment system that most schools use in the borough of Kingston and it generally has a good track record of working well for both students and parents alike."
He added that students would be welcome to speak to the finance office to resolve this in the future and a plan would be communicated to students and parents should this happen again.

POLL: Who Takes Sunday Night's Main Event Between "Shogun" And "Hendo"?
Mauricio Rua and Dan Henderson are set to battle it out this weekend in the main event of UFC Fight Night 38. The fight is a rematch from their epic clash back at UFC 139 which earned both men "Fight of the Year" honours.
"Hendo" took a close decision in the first fight but the majority of fans thought it was closer to a draw, possibly even a win for Rua. Nevertheless, "Shogun" will get the chance to take his revenge this Sunday when the two meet inside the Ginasio Nelio Dias Arena in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.
Rua is the considerable favorite coming into the fight at around -235, but the odds are no real surprise given both men's records leading into the bout. "Shogun" is coming off a devastating first round knockout over James Te Huna, while "Hendo" comes into the fight on the end of three straight losses.
Who do you think will emerge victorious on Sunday?

Annoying to access as their office is in the Presidio with one way to get in (unless you drive and parking is expensive).Advice to ManagementAdvice
No real transparency regarding employee performance. My Director in particular seemed to have little idea of why he was hiring me for my role so expectations were never clear. Communication should be more clear.Doesn't RecommendNeutral Outlook
