Natura Pet Products is expanding its dry petfood recall because the petfood has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
Sampling conducted by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Georgia Department of Agriculture confirmed the presence of Salmonella in additional lots of dry cat food and a cat pet treat. Therefore, Natura is expanding the dry petfood recall to include other products manufactured around the same time, although it says no related illnesses have been confirmed.
The recalled petfood products are sold through veterinary clinics and select pet specialty retailers online and in the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Malaysia and Costa Rica. The dry cat food expiration dates for this expanded recall range from 1/1/2014 to 3/24/2014. The dry cat treats have expiration dates from 7/1/2013 to 9/27/2013.
Consumers who purchased the recalled cat and dog food products should discard them. For more information or a product replacement, please contact Natura at +1.800.224.6123, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. CST.

I have completed the boys' room- FINALLY! I don't know if I mentioned that I had started their room roughly 18 months ago. I had 100% organically and honestly come up with the "vintage military" theme (see previous posts) and I was so pumped to install their new design. So, one late afternoon I decided I'd start priming the walls. Then, shortly after, we got the call about our sweet new baby L. and I haven't really come up for air since (well- til now.)
If you know me, you understand how difficult it was for me to leave that job undone. It literally sat a semi-primed wasteland for that year and 1/2, taunting me each time I walked past their open door. It got to where would pull the door closed on auto pilot- as if my subconscious was protecting me from pain. There were nights I would tuck my boys in, and pray with them, and give them forehead kisses... in the hallway.
Well- I've got my mojo back and, true to form, have gone back to decorating like a pycho unleashed. Here are some pics of the finished project:
Up soon- my bedroom and client project! Can't wait

Bling, bling, it's HTC here: Clear us a place on the gold phone bandwagon
While Apple and Samsung mess about with gold-coloured phones, HTC has plated real gold onto five of its HTC One handsets as a promotional exercise for the forthcoming Mobo awards. There will only be five blinged-out HTC One handsets for the awards, with the winner of the best newcomer award at the Mobos getting one of them. We …
HTC used to make iPaqs and so on with fingerprint readers, but they never put one on a phone until Apple did.
What on earth?
El Reg losing the plot?
A concierge button: genius!
I'm somewhat sceptical about the fingerprint thingy on the iPhone being anything more than, "Look! We're innovating. Trust us, we really are."
However a dedicated concierge button. I don't have words. What a masterstroke! I'll have one of those, oh yes please, thankyouverymuch. Y'all can ask Siri where your life went wrong. Meanwhile my concierge will be fetching drinks, cigars, and a masseuse named Inga.
Mine's the fluffy dressing gown with the concierge buttoned phone in the pocket.
Re: A concierge button: genius!
Meanwhile my concierge will be fetching drinks, cigars, and a masseuse named Inga.
Surely yours will be the dressing gown with the sign on the back saying, "My other masseuse is
a Portia."
Re: A concierge button: genius!
I can imagine easily that for a small businessman who travels a lot, this would be well worth the asking price. The Vertu phone is unnecessarily expensive but the concierge service costs about as much as business class across the Atlantic, which is an awful lot less than a PA costs who doesn't mind her evenings being interrupted when you are in the US.
It might even work better than the lady who lives in my car dashboard, who can get a bit confused when navigating around the Blackwall Tunnel (no double entendre intended).
So all that's left to tick is:
[ ] Great signal reception
[ ] Excellent data rates
[ ] Compass that doesn't fail after two weeks
[ ] Headset that has more than one button
[ ] Headset that survives having the cable rolled over once by an office chair
Because mine certainly hasn't got ticks in those boxes, I'm sorry to say. It's a great device in all other respects, but they forgot the "phone" part of it when they were designing.
Re: Brilliant!
[ ] Great signal reception
[ ] Excellent data rates
You may want to have a word with your network provider about these.
[ ] Headset that has more than one button
[ ] Headset that survives having the cable rolled over once by an office chair
Since when has any mobile phone come with a headset worth talking about (or with, for that matter)?

Thanks, but when other models on the same network have no problems acquiring and retaining a good signal, have less drop-outs in conversation, and can sustain a higher and more stable data rate, the numbers speak for themselves. I'm an Android developer. I routinely carry three, maybe four, phones (from the roughly ten I have) when I travel, so that I can do comparison tests. The comparisons don't favour the HTC One.
> Since when has any mobile phone come with a headset worth talking about (or with, for that matter)?
The HTC One comes bundled with a Beats by Dr.Dre headset. It's one of their selling points. Whilst it was working, it was the best-sounding bundled headset I've ever used, by a country mile.
why is the
first link in the article to an apple device article as opposed to the thing we are talking about?
bad el reg!
bad bad bad!
Hideous people
There was a Beeb article the other day with a Video demonstrating a sales show with these kind of items on show in the United Emirates.
They were asking various people if they'd buy a $15,000 IPhone studded with diamonds and a gold bird on the back.
One guy was interviewed who said he probably wouldn't buy it as they're becoming common now.
One girl was interviewed who stated entirely seriously something along the lines of "I quite like it... it's there to make a statement and I like making a statement."
I have to admit... I needed to find a sick bucket at that point so didn't watch any further.
Re: Hideous people
Tee Hee. I like to make the statement that I've got more money than taste.
That's why my hair is bleached whiter than my teeth, which glow in ultra-violet light, my skin is dyed orange and I bought Saddam Hussein's stock of botulinum toxin off him cheap, so I'd never have a line on my face ever again!
Shallow? What me? How very dare you!

CC4 has been littered with problems from release; but it looks good on paper features wise.
Anybody had any experience with either of the following products ? Just interested in feedback from any schools who may be using the RM CC4 or Ergo Free2Teach products.
CC4you - ICT just got personal
Ergo Free2Teach - primary school network management
CC4 has been littered with problems from release; but it looks good on paper features wise.
I am also looking for some information of Ergo Free2Teach. Is anyone using one of these systems and can recommend them?
I am not a big fan of RM, and am looking for something decent to replace CC3 with, that will be easy to run, cheap to buy, run quickly and be reliable without ongoing expensive support costs and problems.
I saw a demo of Free2Teach at Bett and was quite impressed. Apart from Vanilla Networks, RM and Ergo, what other good (Windows Based) network systems are available for schools at the moment?
Since the installation of 2 x CC4 servers I have spent most of my time doing nothing more than dealing with issues on them.
Everything seems to take 5 times longer than it should, installing programs other than RM's software can be a nightmare, the Management Console crashes quite often if you ask it to do more than 3 things at once, we have had the server crash totally once and another time it would refuse logins directly to the server at one stage meaning a total power down using the power button, Links to Learning Resources direct pupils and staff to the wrong server. Remote Access to PC's across the network doesnt work unless you remove/edit GINA, we have had various issues with the backups, some software related and then finally the tape drive died.
Add lots of daft things like you cant rename PC's without rebuilding them (thats direct from RM) and for me I generally think its not that good.
From a techie point of view not impressed, but from the end user point of view the pupils and staff seem to love it.
Laptops are not synchronized to the server.
There is lots more I could add but not all directly related to CC4, one example being all of the keyboards had to be replaced within the first month due to sticking keys causing continual beeping when left at the login prompt.
Oh and all of the above since September.
In some respects RM support has been awesome, and a few people have actually been very good but there are still a few problems that have now been on RM's list for quite a while.
There is probably a few other things I have forgot as well.
@yabbadabba: I am interested in whether you upgraded from CC3 or had a clean install.
Anecdotally, it seems that fresh installs generally seem to be ok and its the upgrades that are causing the issues. Personally I am holding off on recommending upgrades until more positive feedback is forthcoming but I do like the look of the feature list of CC4.
There is a *serious bias* to those anecdotes. I've seen that said a few times, often by the same people over and over for some inscrutable reason (well not really, but I'm not going to get into it), but that is simply not true on my planet: I think the majority of the CC4 issues have applied or continue to apply to both new and upgraded systems. It's a bit unreasonable to think that's such a factor considering it's the same s/w on both.Anecdotally, it seems that fresh installs generally seem to be ok and its the upgrades that are causing the issues
The only significant distinction appears to be between big and little systems i.e. there have been some scalability issues you're not likely to hit on little systems. Watch say ten of the latter, every day, every week and you should notice all the other issues.
1 - Build images were failing, incorrect drivers on the supplied build image, tried downloading the correct drivers for the network cards and they still failed, after contacting RM I was then told I had to use a Vista driver (our machines are XP).
2 - Learning Resources Shortcut points to the incorrect server.
3 - Struggled to wade through RM's documentation for installing all of the RM updates (might of been me just being dim).
4 - Head of ICT had problems installing laptops and getting them to connect to the CC4 network.
5 - Problem with backups on the our second server.
6 - Keyboards started to fail.
7 - Teachers existing laptops could not be upgraded to CC4, ie fully working and operational laptops would have to be rebuilt as clean CC4 laptops and any local applications reinstalled along with installing drivers, backing up data etc.
8 - Keyboards, again, keys appear to be sticking and making a continual beeping when at the log in prompt.
9 - Teachers laptops running CC4 had problems with Internet Explorer, could not add Favorites, very long log on times.
10 - RM Engineer attempted to install updates, could not connect using LogMeIn, this was blamed on our ISP who is SWGfL.
11 - This is my favorite, Remote Access was not working on any of the CC4 PC's, RM's response word for word "Removing the Gina is a working solution until Update 9 is released."
12 - RM Management Console kept on crashing.
13 - Could not log into the server, had to power it down manually.
14 - Daft printer issue, not RM's fault.
15 - Engineer tried to install updates, again could not use LogMeIn to connect to the server, I provided them with a logmein session to my own private PC not running anything RM/CC4 and left them to it for the weekend.
16 - Updates all installed, Remote Access still not working.
17 - Backups failing on main server.
18 - Problems with teachers not being able to see all of thier class computers on the network.
19 - Learning resources still not working.
Thats a fair chunk of the faults, as said there are still more that need to be reported such as the laptops possibly not synchronizing with the servers.
The really annoying thing is when things go well on the CC4 setup it does actually really work very, very well, for the end users all is good as they like it, it runs and they expect no more.
When it goes wrong from the techie side its just a right royal pain, things that should just work dont.
Ah well I am going to go and hide in a dark corner for a while.
Could be worse. I've seen a couple of schools decide they know better, ditched their CC3 system (or CC4 in one case) and gone for a plain network.
Servers job? DHCP and file sharing.
No domain, no policies, no control or restrictions. Just a workgroup.
All pupils with admin rights.
And some muggins has to manage that. Certainly better ways around it :/ I'd rather have set it up myself using entirely open source or freely available software (on top of AD etc) but of course some of these head of ICT people (titled that because they have a computer at home and often use it to send an email now and then) know better and/or have read "Networking for Dummies" a couple of times
What CC4 should be capable of is good news for everyone. What it appears to be doing at the moment though, is something else. I've no idea why it's going out in the state it's in. Worth noting I've got 1 site running CC4 and it's been *entirely* trouble free.
I hope in 6 months time when I am more familiar with the setup, updates have been installed and generally the dust has settled it will actually make my job easier and leave me free to do the other onsite techie stuff.
At the moment I am 50/50 if this is going to happen, in response too

OBJECTIVES: We reviewed cardiac troponin (cTn) trends during non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE ACS) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in EARLY ACS and SYNERGY and studied the relationship between post-PCI cTn and mortality. BACKGROUND: The prognostic value of cTn post-PCI is controversial. In patients with NSTE ACS, it is especially difficult to distinguish between cTn elevations due to PCI or index myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS: Time and cTn (indexed by upper limit of normal [ULN]) data pairs were plotted for 10,199 patients and independently reviewed by 2 physicians to identify patients in whom post-PCI cTn elevation could be distinguished from that of index MI. Post-PCI cTn peak was identified for each plot, and its relationship with 1-year mortality was evaluated using Cox modeling, correcting for 15 clinical variables from the EARLY ACS 1-year mortality model (including baseline cTn). We used an identical methodology to assess the association between creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and 1-year mortality. RESULTS: Patients with cTn (re)elevation post-PCI not evaluable were identified and excluded from further analysis (4198 [41%] with cTn rising prior to PCI; 229 [2%] with missing cTn). Among the remainder (N=5772 [57%]), in the multivariable model, peak cTn post-PCI was associated with a 7% increase in mortality (hazard ratio [HR] for 10x ULN increase, 1.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.02-1.11; p=0.0038). Peak post-PCI CK-MB was significantly associated with 1-year mortality (HR for 1x ULN increase, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.05-1.21; p=0.0013). CONCLUSIONS: We used a methodology that differentiated post-PCI cTn (re)elevation from that of presenting MI in more than half of patients with NSTE ACS undergoing PCI. This identified a highly significant relationship between post-PCI cTn and 1-year mortality, with implication for both incorporating a cTn post-PCI MI definition and preventing PCI-related myonecrosis.

So this piece is a little different than my norm, and therefore I worry that it's painfully self-indulgent and masturbatory. That being said, if nothing else it could act as a kind of primary source document for some of the things contained in it? That's a question mark because I have no idea. Anyway, my point is, I want to talk about what I've noticed about the anime fan zeitgeist in my time within it.

A Bride's Story, Vol 1: Living Takes Time
& thus I unexpectedly embarked upon a multi-post journey through the volumes of Kaoru Mori's A Bride's Story. If you are unfamiliar with the overall gist, here it is: 19th century clan in central Asia sends girl (Amir) to wed boy (Karluk) from another clan in another town. Amir is eight years Karluk's senior, which they both discover the day of their wedding. Life ensues.
I am so happy that I picked this up. I looked at the cover ("Hey, cool! Wonder if I could make that dress…"), read the description ("Oooo, struggles with identity!"), & then proceeded to lose myself in the awesomeness (YURTS!)

On the nature of mystery itself in Hyouka
Well, turns out Hyouka has not one but two posts on the old Super Fani already. I guess I shouldn't write one of my own then? I mean, that'd be overkill. Except, of course, that Pontifus was wrong. So let's fix that, shall we?
How was he wrong? Well, in "A Hastily Erected Shrine to Historiography in Hyouka" he claims the show isn't a mystery, but a slice of life show. Whoops.

I am the Very Model of a Modern Major Slenderman: Why I Laugh When Playing Slender: The Eight Pages
On Halloween, a small band of us got together with our flashlights & binkies & played Slender: The Eight Pages. I'd wanted to try it out for a few weeks, & for some reason, it seemed like a fun group game to me.
If you're not familiar with the game, you begin the game with the admonition, "Collect all 8 pages." You're armed with a flashlight that you need to conserve, & you can walk or run through the map in the dark, which consists mostly of forest & several landmarks & clearings where the pages can be. You can't fight or speak. Once you pick up a page (or enough time has passed), Slenderman will begin to chase you, & with each successive page you collect, his chase will grow more intense. If he catches you or you look at him too long, you'll go insane, & it's game over. Sounds like the perfect Halloween game for getting scared, right?

Growing Up in Worlds of Fictional Men
Yeah, I'll leave it at that.
Many moons ago, I posted about Cardcaptor Sakura & gender. Now, I'm back to explore video games & gender. Why not anime this time, you may ask? Because, uh…battleaxe.
I've been playing video games for most of my life. While they provided a beautiful escape, they also shaped much of my ideas about what was male & what was female through my adolescence. Part of the reason for that is I didn't have many games that even had women in them, much less had a female protagonist. & not that many games that were made when I was a kid had female protagonists. I grew up with fictional, pixelated men.

Getting into trouble with "trap"
The Great Strike Witches Re-posting reminded me that, given some contexts, I have a fondness for the term "trap."
Well and good? I don't know. Every once in a great while I come across an expression of outrage at that term. "Trap," say these commenters, is insensitive toward transgendered people, or at least dedicated transvestites.
Barring irreconcilable ridiculousness, I'm inclined to concede to offended parties. Whatever anyone's intention, they were offended. Someone felt bad, and that's bad, I guess. And I get the criticism. The term might imply that a man dressed as a woman (or a boy dressed as a girl, as is most often the case when we're talking about moonstuff) is somehow out to catch heteronormative males in his web. Which…yeah. You can see the problem.
I'm going to ask for your help on this one, blogotrons. I know how I define "trap" — it is, in my mind, a trope present in anime and manga (et al.) that's so far removed from reality that it has no real-world analogue, and thus doesn't comment directly upon anyone's experience. I wouldn't call Shuichi Nitori from Houro Musuko a "trap;" he's too plausible. He has problems. But Know Your Meme disagrees with my usage. Oh, and I'm a straight white male. Enfranchisement helps my material situation, but it means I'm not the best person to ask about these things.
Give me some definitions of "trap." Whether you're outraged at the term or you regularly encounter crossdressing shotas in your porn (or both?), tell me how traps make you feel.

text: LA Unified School District Passes Kids With Ds Print article Send a Tip by William Bigelow 19 Apr 2012 post a comment The Los Angeles School District has bolted from the challenge it set itself in 2004, when they wanted it to be mandatory for all students to pass college-prep courses before they graduated high school. Tuesday, the district changed course, saying it was only necessary for students to get a D grade on such courses in order to graduate. Why did the district put its tail between its legs? They're worried that students would drop out. Deputy Supt. Jaime Aquino said, "If we don't do something, we have to be prepared to be pushing out kids as dropouts … We face a massive dropout rate in four years." California's public universities require a C or better for admission, which does seem to be a problem. The district is apparently buying time; spokesmen for the district asserted that they hope to return to the mandatory C grade by the class of 2017. Gerardo Loera, the district's executive director of curriculum and instruction, defended the decision; "We're not considering this as an ideal solution … it's a creative solution with the amount of resources we have." LAUSD spends nearly $30,000 per student per year. This lowering of standards covered by the fig-leaf of graduation is reflective of a society that gives up on its future; and the leadership in the White House doesn't help. As President Obama said earlier this year: Today, we're still home to the world's most productive workers. We're still home to the world's most innovative companies. But for most Americans, the basic bargain that made this country great has eroded. Long before the recession hit, hard work stopped paying off for too many people. The message conveyed was, you can work hard, but it won't pay off anyway. With messages like that, it is no wonder that incentivizing students by raising the standards is a futile gesture; those who run the nanny state don't want to encourage the students to work harder. Unprepared students become dependent adults--just what the nanny state wants.

How do I light a gel fuel canister for fondue?
- w
- wednesdayaddamsd Nov 16, 2012 05:47 PM
Okay, I know this sounds ridiculously obtuse! But I am trying out a new enameled cast iron fondue pot and it came with a Swiss Fire Gel Fuel Pack. It has no instructions for lighting it. It simply says "tear foil cover off".
I don't want to blow the house up. Do you just stick a lighter in this thing?
The first ingredient on the gel pack is Ethanol.
How the heck do I light this? Also, can I use a tealight with the cast iron enamel fondue pot instead?
I don't really like the idea of this thing burning at my table, but I digress.
Thank you to all who may have some insight on this!
re: ferret
Thank you, CanadaGirl and Ferret! I appreciate your response and now I won't have to freak about using that thing! :O)
re: zippypinhead
if one is truly worried, and given the fuel involved, I'd keep baking soda around. easier to clean up than an extinguisher as well (former boy scout/fire bug/voice of experience)
re: hill food
Yes, most times the baking soda is going to do the trick.
I would still have an extinguisher handy though.... I just happen to have one hanging outside the door leading from kitchen to garage. Haven't had to use it yet.
I'm the son, son-in-law, brother-in-law, cousin, grandson and uncle of firefighters. I've seen too many aftermaths of not being prepared..... Fire has no soul and no mercy.
re: zippypinhead
never a bad idea to have one around, especially if one lives in a rural area 20 minutes from the nearest (all-volunteer) station. they're great folks, but by the time they could possibly show up, it would just be a matter of containment.
A wand type lighter would let you get the the flame close to the fuel surface. They are more useful for bbq and fireplace lighting than the small ones designed for smokers.
as others have suggested a cigarette lighter would be awkward. a match or wand would be more clever.
I assume the fondue pot stand has a holder for the can o' flame keeping it off the table surface. that's really the only concern. when it comes time to extinguish don't blow it out, just put something on top, like a can lid - deprive it of air. ABSOLUTELY do not use water. unless of course things get boring and you want some excitement. there is a utensil made for this that holds the canned heat and has a sort of tong-like closing mechanism for this. look at the chafing dishes used by caterers.
when it's time to replace it almost any supermarket or hardware store will have Sterno (with a replaceable lid) and you just put that back on to put it out. why am I always reminded of the movie "Andromeda Strain" when I talk about sterno?
CanadaGirl is right, you can TRY to use a tea light, but the result would be pathetic.
re: hill food
What would happen if you do use water to put it out?
re: Dave MP
The fire won't extinguish and the burning gel will spread. Not good!
re: CanadaGirl
yep, unless you happen to like flare-ups!
Alcohol flame is not very hot, so it's ideal for fondue. Sterno gel is not difficult to light- there's no whoosh! involved, and it remains solid enough that you can just blow it out. Doesn't melt at its burning temperature, like candle wax. Tea lights would leave soot on your fondue pot.
I use a "fireplace" butane lighter, and just found some (Costco), that have a flexible tip on them. We use them for citronella candles on the patio too.
PS - for the gel canisters, it is best to cover them, to extinguish them. Also, let them cool completely, before you move them, as when hot, the gel will be partially liquid, and can spill.
Also area under the gel gets very hot. l do not use them for fondue. When the fondue gets too cold, go back to the stove and reheat. May be a pain but won't burn up a tablecloth as l once did.
Use a piece of dry spaghetti (yes, just hold it in a candle flame, then use it just like a long match) to light them -- then you don't have to screw around moving a burning pot of fuel! -- this is also stinking brilliant if your sterno happens to do out while you're using it (I partially closed the cover to control the heat and put the darned thing out completely!) -- then you don't even have to move the fondue.
Please be careful. These types of canisters were in the news the other day for causing debilitating burns to folks. I have heard of the dried spaghetti idea to light a candle, say, on a birthday cake, but don't have experience lighting a gel fuel canister. Googling or Bing-ing this same question will hopefully yield videos for you. Take care.
re: wahine88
Open flame can be dangerous when not handled carefully, whether it's tea lights, Sterno fuel, or bonfires. Nothing specifically dangerous about Sterno (other than providing fuel for over-zealous journalists looking to write a fear-driven article in the run-up to the holidays....)
Think about the deep-fried turkeys -- pretty funny that every year, every morning news program does a piece every year about the danger of deep-fried turkeys, and EVERY YEAR the station just happens to cause a grease fire conveniently put out in the nick of time by the local firehouse.
The first time was funny....fifteen years later, it's getting ridiculous.
Just light a match. If you happen to drop it into the can while lighting the sterno, just leave it there, it won't be a problem.

Details recently put out a list of The Best New Steak Houses in America, and it was not inaccurate. Most of the places across the country that delight enlightened meatheads made the cut: Cut in LA, Michael Minas butter-crazed Stripsteak in Vegas, and Roberts (ill-served by an unrepresentative piece of choice beef in the picture) are indeed among the best going. But writers and diners alike are too happy to be served a big steak to gauge it accurately, which makes all steakhouse features unreliable at best.
Reading Frank Bruni exult yesterday that the porterhouse at Lugers is the most breathtaking anywhere only underscored the point. Since Lugers buys from every Tom, Dick, and Harry, and cooks steak exactly the same bad way as a dozen of its rivals, its obvious that this cant be true. The editors at Details are likewise misguided: They use a picture of chuck ribs for KO Prime in Boston, not realizing that the things are never served in restaurants except as hamburger, and single out places like Quality Meats (exactly the same steak as Smith & Wollensky) and BLT Steak, a restaurant explicitly inferior to its sibling, BLT Prime. The steaks must have been good when they went, because steak, especially when lathered with butter, is good. But when advising people to spend hundreds of dollars, flashy images or received wisdom simply doesnt make the cut.
The truth is that the best steak is rarely to be found in a steakhouse, due to the volume theyre called upon to do. But if we had to make a list of the top steakhouses here in New York, it would certainly exclude Luger, Quality Meats, BLT Steak, and most other crapshoots, and stick with places that go to the trouble to set up costly, complex infrastructures, Tim Loves pipeline to the so-called Texas Superprime being one example and Adam Perry Langs carefully cultivated relationship with Master Purveyors in the Bronx being another.
Our short list, based on steak rather than sizzle, is as follows:
Roberts Steakhouse (Penthouse Executive Club)
BLT Prime
La Portena (Jackson Heights)
Strip House

The new layout of the MSP430AFE253 Development Board is finished and boards are currently at the fabricator. The new rev boards will begin shipping starting the first week of October. These are being built on a per-order basis, so please allow 4 weeks for your order to ship once your order is placed.
MSP430AFE253 Development Board
The changes to the MSP430AFE253 Development Board were recently completed and first prototype placed on order through OSH Park. These boards are expected to be received by mid August. There is some basic firmware ready for this board that supports serial port communication and button and LED test.
Please make contact via the contact page if you are interested in purchasing one or more of these boards. For more information, including design files, etc, please see the github repository here. Or see more after the break.
Have you created various libraries for the Arduino to interface with different pieces of hardware? Have you ever bought an Arduino shield that had multiple hardware interfaces but it didn't come with a proper library, and instead maybe a jumbled mess of code in one big sketch file? Writing a self-standing library (see also base class or parent class) for the Arduino isn't the hardest thing, but when you progress into multi-level class structures with class dependency and inheritance, things get a little more complicated, but the end result hopefully is a well organized library with structured data encapsulation and a more simple model for future enhancements and maintenance. As most of my embedded experience lies within the traditional bounds of the ANSI C language however, I find myself having to do a fair amount of searching from time to time on how to implement the features I want using the C++ language.
My latest task found me wanting to create a library that encapsulated the functionality of multiple libraries that already existed into one library interface. This is referred to as a parent/child relationship, or a base class and a derived class. The parent is the base class and it's features can be inherited by the child class. The child class is also called the derived class, as it's functionality and features are derived from the base class. I'm not going to get into access modifiers, such as public, protected, private, etc. In my case, however, I was wanting to have one child class, a library interface to a common Arduino shield, which was derived from multiple parents, or base classes.
First Test of Serial NVM: Success
Last weekend, I had a chance to catch up on development and testing of code for the Serial NVM boards. As you recall, I had a slight mishap on the last rev of boards ordered from OSH Park, to which I have added a jumper wire and am using these for code development and testing. Last month I completed the Arduino library to drive the Microchip MCP23S08 serial IO expander and can be downloaded from my bitbucket repository here.
I had previously begun working on Arduino libraries for the different versions of the Serial NVM board, and last weekend I completed the library for the M95M02 SPI EEPROM and tested it alongside the MCP23S08 to ensure the chip select schemes and timing all worked well together, which they did. I had a little trouble at first writing and reading back a test string, but thanks to my USB logic analyzer, it was an obvious timing issue of not waiting for the recommended write time 'tw' after releasing the chip select before attempting to read back the data. The library for the M95M02 is also open source and can be downloaded from this repository here. Next step is to create a new library that wraps these two libraries into one, allowing access to all the functionality from one library while also allowing the entire array of chips to be accessed as though it were one contiguous chuck of memory.
msp430-gdb Back in Business!
Usually I'm able to figure most things out on my own - but since late yesterday, I have been battling getting my MSP-FET430UIF debugger to work in eclipse after the debugger firmware was upgraded to V3. I knew there was the option of downgrading, but I knew, I just knew there had to be a way to integrate my existing debugger, upgraded to V3 firmware, with an IDE I favor (eclipse) and the gcc debug environment. Read the rest of the story after the break...
Year-End Update
I am long overdue for an update, so this will probably be a lengthy one... Last year had some cool highlights from basically starting my website for Casco Logix to being featured on hack-a-day here and here, to being featured on EEWeb as the "Site of the day" here, to launching some initial simple but fun products for sale on my site here.
Here are some of the other things I've been working on lately since my last post.
There was a fairly significant design flaw in the first rev of the Serial NVM boards regarding the manner in which the chip select (CS) signals were asserted by the MCP23S08 IO expander chip. This design flaw came to light after I took a mental "break" from the project while waiting for the boards to arrive in the mail from OSH Park. The issue was realized literally as I was opening the mail pouch.
So, rev 2 was implemented...? What's going on now...?
EEWeb Site of the Day!
About a month ago I got an unsolicited email from someone asking if it would be okay to highlight my website as the "website of the day" on their website. Initially I thought it was a joke or scam of some sort, but in fact it wasn't, and not only was it not a joke or a scam, the website requesting permission to highlight my own was none other than EEWeb, a mainstream engineering science and technology internet resource. Thank you EEWeb!
Rev2 Serial NVM Boards on the Way
The order for the rev 2 Serial NVM Boards is officially in. I hope to have these new boards by December. Still kicking myself for overlooking the communication protocol issue (e.g. chip select). But with the changes I was able to slightly shrink the board, removing several pullup resistors and adding 3 new parts to correct the chip select issue.

There was an issue with Joomla 3.x where you couldn't white/blacklist IP addresses. It's fixed now with a recent update. It's free but worth making a donation, I did.
To be fair, this was about a year ago and I don't know what, if anything, they've done to it since.
Fortunately, VM now allows multiple pictures to appear in a main box w/out the zoom in and it's just fine.
The fair rating--though, it deserves poor--is for the effort artetics put in for installing it.
One site in particular has over 4,000 images and grows at about 100 images per month. It's absolutely rock steady and I highly recommend it.
The only shortcoming is when you add images, there's no quick and dirty way to single out the new files over the existing files--I do a browser search.
Anyway, it's a great extension and it's free. BTW, I've donated to the author and plan to donate again because it's so useful.
I started off with the free version and liked it so much I upgraded to the paid version. The reason I did this is that you can add your own images and specify how they're split up--the default pictures are a bit difficult to solve, in my opinion.
KeyCaptcha was the only one that worked w/VM and it works great. It stopped "all" the junk registrations, I was getting about 10 per week.
During the last VM upgrade, I wasn't getting any Captcha on some pages. I contacted support and they went in and fixed it within a day. Nice product, nice support, nice results.
Thank you for your excellent review
The only reason I gave it an "average" review is that it doesn't support IE7 e.g. if you try to submit a testimonial in IE7 and hit the submit button but have forgotten to fill out any of the required fields the submit button becomes grayed out and inactive. You have to reload the page/form again and start from the beginning--you lose everything. This is also evident on their demo site.
I contacted support and they said they'd fix it in some future version. So, until then, just keep this in mind. Other than that, it works great.
The two test sites, 1.5 & 1.6, I tested it on had basic, custom templates and various plugins/extensions installed. Akeeba handled all of them without a hitch. I even took a backup and installed it on a different server/database. Again, no problem proving how easy it is to migrate to another server. I can now offer a very competitively priced backup option to all my clients for the Joomla sites I've created for them.
A breeze to install and run. Download it now, install it, back up your site, then donate to the author. It's way worth it and will make your Joomla development life so easy.

A little about me...
I am an eclectic animal: born a city gal, over-educated, well-traveled, but now loving the country life on the road less traveled. My passions in life are mostly about Nature in all of her glory and manifestations, though I can get equally excited about a great movie or the perfect rhythm. Yeah, I do love to dance, but also was going to be a rock star at one time. I will probably never quit working, will never quit striving, will never grow old, and will never say 'never' (hee hee).
What makes me a great partner? The fact that I am so passionate about life and most things that I do. I am very physically fit, emotionally stable, and even a little bit adventurous. Plus I would like to find the last love of my life to savor the best years of all with.
About the one I'm looking for...
As you can probably tell by my pix, I am not exactly for the faint-of-heart. I will probably always have animals around me, though my man needn't be a ranch hand. He does need to tolerate my quirks (as I will his) and perhaps we can even broaden each others' horizons. I guess he just has to be someone who can accept me for who I am, still think I am sexy when I am covered with muck, and someone who will want to stay up late at night having neverending conversations sometimes. And sometimes not (better things to do). I hope he is someone who is not into being retired: traveling around the country in a Winnebago. Nothing wrong with that, but just not for me. I golf a little, but wouldn't want to make a regular habit of that, either. I'm just not the 'Green Valley grin' type. So hopefully he is similarly disinclined. I want to meet a man who still sees the colors of the rainbow, the possibility of a great romance, and the things we could do together.
I'd just like to add...
Those of you that cannot be bothered to write a little bit about yourself/drop me a message don't stand a chance with me. Sorry, but I am looking for Mr. Right and am not at all desperate for Mr. Right Now. I'm happy all by myself, and am just here seeking someone who will make me even happier to share with someone else. So you guys who think you need to show your flat abs in shirtless shots, and you guys who bombard me with a million flirts (are you illiterate or what?) need not apply. I seek more than that. I am also not looking for a penpal, so hopefully you live within meeting distance. This isn't www.meetamillionaire.com, so I am not expecting you to be independently wealthy or even to pay for my lunch. But please be a professional person who is financially self-sufficient. Please send me a message about what you think, how you feel, and what we may have in common, and then we can get to know each other and hopefully find that a good thing happens.
Guess that about says it, though if you look like a mature Troy Aikmann, that wouldn't hurt either. Chemistry is still important to me, and hopefully to you, too. Let's meet and see if we jibe!

Harvest is nearly here. Throughout California, and in many other places in the country, grapes have already gone through veraison, the process where red grapes turn from green to red, blue, purple, or black, and where some white grapes begin to take on a golden, translucent sheen. By most estimates, and depending on the varietal and the specific location, the harvest will begin in 2 to 4 weeks.
And so it goes elsewhere around the northern hemisphere (Bordeaux began harvest this week). But this year has brought with it some significant challenges for grape growers around the world.
In Canada, this year's harvest is supposed to be only half the size of previous harvests. A bitterly cold January and February has severely curtailed crop growth, leaving some growers as much as 70% less fruit than normal.
In Spain, a massive drought has hit some of its appellations very hard. The summer has been long and unrelentingly hot, after a winter with less rainfall than usual. As a result, Spain's overall production will be dropping about 14%, and some regions, like Catalonia, which has been hardest hit, will lose 40%.
Closer to home for me, the Northern California Pinot Noir harvest has been severely damaged by late season rains through June. Some growers have lost entire crops of the delicate Pinot Noir grape due to rain-induced shatter, a physiological condition where the grapes never ripen, and also due to mold. Particularly hard hit have been those growers who maintain biodynamic Pinot vineyards, or so say some of my winemaker friends who make Pinot Noir. Biodynamic growing techniques forbid the use of some additives in the vineyards that many winemakers have used in desperation to combat the effects of the June rains.
Does this mean that the 2005 California Pinot Noir vintage will be a bust? Not at all, but it does mean that some of your favorite wineries may be making a lot less of it, or sadly, none at all.
What that will do to prices overall, it's hard to say, but some will certainly be higher, if only to attempt to recoup losses.
Yeah, I hear some of the Coastal vineyards have precious little fruit. But, there are plenty of other varieties with good sets---so alternatives will be available!
That is interesting news. Most of the juices I get are from Ontario where I live. I wonder if I should be stocking up on juice before the prices increase!
Just returned from a day trip to the Niagara region. Spoke with quite a few reps and owners of small wineries in the region, and all were very concerned about this year's harvest. Some reporting 1/3 less than typical harvests for the fall, others agreeing it is 1/2.
All but one of the wineries I dropped in on were NOT offering juice/must for either red or white wines this year. They all basically said, "We need every last drop we can get for our own wine."
I'll be posting on my outing shortly.
I talked to some of the Napa folks and they're a little worried about the cabernet harvest. I think the growing season has been pretty chilly, and they have uneven ripening. They're gonna have higher labor costs if they want to keep the green grapes out.
But no rest for the weary in France, where they are set for another bumper crop, despite exports dropping by 8% this year.
Vineyard managers here on Long Island have offered me mixed response. We've had almost no rain all summer (Katrina promises to bring some later this week though)...an the grapes are TINY this year.
In fact, one winemaker told me that they are smaller than he's ever seen them in 20 years here. Of course HE is excited at the prospect of small, concentrated fruit...but I imagine general managers aren't so thrilled.
In Oregon, 2005 looks to be the second vintage in a row with extremely low yields. A cool, rainy spring meant a poor fruit set and bud mites did the rest. Production in our vineyards looks to be 40% to 60% less than our projected 2 tons per acre. Powdery mildew has also been a problem.
Interestingly enough, the coolest sites are in the best condition as they flower a week or two later, when the weather had improved.
Thanks for the Oregon update !!

November 25, 2014
DENVER (AP) - A Republican state lawmaker is trying to restore a state income tax exemption for farmers and ranchers.
Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg of Sterling says agriculture needs the exemptions from sales and use taxes for the agricultural products for livestock and pesticides. The exemption would cost the state $1.3 million this fiscal year ending in June and $3.7 million next year.
State lawmakers suspended the exemption through 2013 to help balance the state budget, which faces a $1.1 billion shortfall next year.
House Bill 1005 will be heard Monday in the House Agriculture, Livestock & Natural Resources Committee.

Improvisation and experimentation were the highlights of a Kathakali fete at Cherpulassery.
Cherpulassery, a village near Ottappalam in Palakkad, has always prided itself for its rich cultural legacy and its promotion of classical art forms, especially Kathakali, which is said to have originated in the neighbouring village of Vellinezhi. Kathakali enthusiasts of Cherpulassery are sticklers for tradition and rarely, if ever, choose to stage plays in anything other than the traditional format. Perhaps that's why new plays, experimental acts, and/or abridged versions of popular Kathakali plays are almost never staged in the village. That's why it came as a surprise to rasikas when the annual festival of Puthanalkkal temple here featured performances of select excerpts from Unnayi Warrier's Nalacharitham and the rarely staged Rajasooyam, for both of which there was improvisation and experimentation galore. Moreover, it was the last portion of part two and the beginning of part three of Nalacharitham that was performed, which in itself was rather unusual.
Interestingly, the performance of Nalacharitam began with Nala and Damayanthi in the forest after the former is exiled rather than the scene where Nala romances Damayanthi. Following this, the famous padam 'Oru nalum niroopitham alle...' was performed, leading to the part where Nala deserts his wife. In the next scene Damayanthi is attacked by a snake and a hunter comes to her rescue. The hunter makes a pass at Damayanthi but she curses him and he is reduced to ash. The last and third scene performed featured Nala bemoaning his destiny. Often this part is left out of Kathakali performances due to its length.
Peesappalli Rajeevan, a gifted artiste known for his emoting skills, performed the lead role of Nala. Rajeevan choose to perform the padam 'Lokapalanmare' with a more positive outlook on the situation and the emotion of the character. His gestures and expressions perfectly matched the character. His manodharma attam was truly spectacular as he poetically described the ardour of Nala and Damayanthi using references from Rabindranath Tagore's Geetanjali. Sadanam Bhasi was at his usual best while essaying the hunter. His performance featured quite a number of kalasams and manodharma attams. Haripriya Nambudiri portrayed Damayanthi with ease, the grief and fear of a deserted wife coming through in her acting.
Music was the real star of the evening with Kottakkal Madhu and Nedumpally Rammohan excelling themselves on the vocals. Sadanam Ramakrishnan and Kalamandalam Venu were the percussionists.
'Vadakkan Rajasooyam' was the play performed the next day. Once upon a time, this play was popular on Kathakali stages in central Kerala. These days it has ceased to be performed because it requires quite a number of actors (at least 10) and more or less the same number of percussionists. It tells the story of Dharmaputhra, King of Hasthinapura, and his decision to enlarge his kingdom through a Rajasooya yajna, much to the consternation of the Pandavas and the neighbouring kingdoms. In this three-and-a-half hour play, Jarasandha (Chuvanna thadi vesham), the King of Magadha, who is eventually killed by Bheema, and Sisupala (Kathi vesham), King of Chedi and Jarasandha's friend, are the main characters. Both the characters give ample scope for artistes to display their skills in manodharma. Kottakkal Devadas stole the show as Jarasandha, storming across the stage, unparalleled in commitment and energy. Kalamandalam Soman, another powerful artiste, enacted the role of Sisupala with élan. Although Soman seemed a tad nervous at the beginning, he came into his own as the tempo increased. His attams were reminiscent of his guru Kalamandalam Ramankutti Nair, who was an expert in the role.
Percussion played a main role in the success of the play. Kalamandalam Balasundar, Kalamandalam Venumohan and Kalamandalam Ravisanker on the chenda and Cherpulassery Hariharan and Sudheesh on the maddalam were marvellous. Kalamandalam Mohanakrishnan and Sadanam Jyothisbabu were the singers.

Busdriver manages to sound like a fresh voice no matter where the rest of rap has been over his 14-year career. The Los Angeles rapper recently contributed to indie label Hellfyre Club's latest collection, Dorner vs. Tookie, often stealing the show even among a similarly ear-grabbing roster of left-field talents. Live, his polysyllabic machine-gun flow decimates dance floors and finds a niche both heady and club-ready. Labelmates Open Mike Eagle and Milo provide support and prove the avant-garde West Coast sound that evolved from the infamous Project Blowed is alive and well. With Metasota. 18+.

It was October 2008 when Cecilia Mikolajczak, associate director of a non-profit Christian ministry, took herself to the hospital. She didn't know what to expect—she just knew she wasn't feeling well. Within hours, she was being admitted and told that she'd have to start dialysis immediately. Her kidneys had failed. There she was, someone accustomed to keeping a busy schedule with extensive travel, suddenly faced with figuring out how dialysis would fit into her life and around a job that she loved.
In the hospital, she took advantage of being surrounded by doctors and nurses to learn as much as she could about dialysis and her treatment choices. She started on in-center hemodialysis then switched to peritoneal dialysis (PD) at home because the flexible schedule fit better with work and even allowed her to travel.
Cecilia's colleagues, including the CEO, were so supportive throughout her transition to dialysis—often sending her notes of encouragement. With a flexible work schedule and strong support system, she never doubted that she'd be able to keep her job of 12 years.
"I enjoy what I do, and keeping my health insurance was important to me," says Cecilia. "I don't see myself leaving [my job] anytime in the near future. I feel very healthy and very blessed."
Cecilia's story continues to be one of inspiration and triumph. Two years after beginning PD, she received the best news of all. A suitable donor was found and Cecilia received a successful kidney transplant. She continues to thrive in her job and remains thankful for the coworkers that supported her every step of the way.
For more information about working on dialysis, call 1-888-405-8915 or discover the benefits of staying on the job.

The Sunday news shows certainly have their guests and topics planned ahead and this was in this morning´s paper. No time to even verify the facts in the article. I´m not even sure some of the Sunday shows do not tape ahead late Saturday.Fox and Friends? Taking a word said on that show as being true or verified is a big mistake. I watched this morning and they weren´t even capable of conducting a lucid interview with a 5 year old and his father who wrestle alligators. The female host was so unprepared she thought they were from FL and one of the male hosts had to tell her they were from Louisiana. The boy and Dad were barely capable of saying yes or no. And people rely on F&F for real news?

Didn´t Dubya´s admin warn congressional regulators (Barny Frank, most notably) for years about the growing subprime mortgage problem and the impending collapse of FMC and FMA? But because none of the ´progressive´ press reported it, the Left can still blame Bush and the GOP for keeping the problem secret, and even for causing it in the first place.

The Tomahawk Fall Ride is underway in the north and many of the 25,000 riders were looking for shelter in the storm.
For many Harley Davidson riders, touring a plant is more than just a diversion on a rainy Saturday, its a history lesson and a shopping tour.
Harley's new Kapaem Road plant in Tomahawk has only been open for a few months, and early reviews from the tour give it high marks.
This is the third plant in the Tomahawk area. It will specialize in parts and accessories, primarily custom painting and sidecars.
For many visitors, checking out how the company works just makes them happier customers.

My next addition to my arsenal (baring any impulse buys) is going to be a small .357 revolver. I've been without one for a while and really miss it.
I don't need an ultralight gun, I like stainless steel frames just fine. What I do need is a gun that will stand up to a steady diet of magnum rounds. I just love snubnose revolvers and shoot them a lot, so I want a tough gun.
I'll shoot a couple of boxes of .357 through it every week.
Right now I'm looking at a new S&W 60, it feels very comfortable and the price is great (the same as in the US, which is amazing for a store in Argentina). For a bit more money I can get a Ruger SP101, which I've been meaning to try out forever. Is it stronger than the S&W? I like the cylinder release on the Ruger as well, the one on Smiths tends to cut my thumb when rapid firing.
I know it would make more sense to go for a bigger, sturdier frame for frequent shooting at the range, but I like J frames.
Now hatred is by far the longest pleasure;
Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.
- Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron), Don Juan
(canto XII, st. 6)

Even the beefed up version of the 60 will not withstand that much magnum ammo. The next step up would be a Model 65. K frame 3" round butt. You WILL have issues with this one also. If you truly want to shoot 5000+ rds of magnums a year, you will need to go up to an L-frame. A 3" 686 round butt was made. They were a special run for Lew Horton allegedly directed toward the US Secret Service. They are out there, but I have not seen one lately.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.
"Robo is right" Fuzzball
I have a 3 inch 686+ and it's about the smallest (and lightest) gun I'd want to shoot lots of magmuns through. I was at my range one day a year or so ago and I felt a concussion and heard a gigantic BOOM from the lane next to me (yes, I had my ears on).
Fella had just bought one of those scandium lightweight .357 snubbies and was trying it out with full-load .357 defense ammo. He shot one cylinder though it and carefully put it away. He was visibly shaken and had not had a good experience....
My wife has a Model 60. She shoots .38's in it. I've fired .357's through it with no problems. I guess that hundreds or thousands of .357's wouldn't be good for it. But once in a while, it's not a big deal.
Check out the SP101, it's a stout little rascal and will take .357's all day long.
I have a Ruger SP101 that I bought for the wife to shoot 38s. I also wanted an all around gun that could take magnums all day long for years to come. I was consistantly pointed back to the SP101. It's a great pistol with a reputation for eating hot magnums with a smile.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...
"the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
Yes, you can order Hogue grips for the SP101 straight from the Ruger website with the Ruger emblem on the side. I put these on my SP101 and definitely like the feel better when shooting .357's. Very pleased with the SP101!
I have a Taurus 605 with a 3" barrel, and I have been very happy with it, but I do not expect it will stand up to a steady diet of Magnums any better than a S&W Model 60. But it may give you a much cheaper alternative. Depending on the grips you choose it can give a lot of different "feels". Good luck.
What could have happened... did.
I certainly understand the want for a compact .357. The problem is wear and tear. Shooting large numbers of mags through a compact gun WILL shorten the life span of the gun. Theoretically a gun has a life span measured in rounds, not years. A model 60 (in .357) may have a life span of 1000 rds of magnum ammo. A model 65 or 66 may have a life span of 2500 rounds of magnums. A 686 - maybe 5000 - 7500. A 27 - MAYBE 10,000.
Kind of like car engines. You can make a 2 liter 4 cylinder churn out 300 HP, but it will not go 100,000 miles with out MAJOR work. A 5+ liter V-8 can make 300+ HP and last easily 100K. 200K is not unheard of.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A San Francisco parks worker who ran over a woman as she lay with her baby and dog in a park says he thought he had hit something, but didn't realize it was a person until he was arrested.
An attorney for 57-year-old Thomas Burnoski told the San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/13YLjQJ) his client was devastated by when he learned the mother was fatally struck.
Burnoski says in a statement that his actions caused the death of 35-year-old Christine Svanemyr, "and there is nothing I can do to bring her back." He called what happened in the Bernal Heights park "a tragic accident."
Burnoski was arrested on Sept. 5 on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and felony hit and run.
Prosecutors have not decided whether to file charges in the case.
