Illuminating Worship: Lighting for Portable Churches, Part 2
Apr 28, 2011 11:57 AM, with Bennett Liles

Of all of the production elements that churches, especially portable churches, have to deal with lighting has always been one of the most challenging. Greg Persinger of Vivid Illumination is back to wrap up his talk with some pointers on power for lighting and dealing heat with issues for safety. That's coming up next on the SVC podcast.
Greg, thanks for being back with me for Part 2 of Lighting for Portable Churches and Vivid Illumination in Nashville, Tennessee is your outfit. So for portable churches last time we were talking about LED lighting and some of the more common mistakes that churches make when it comes to planning their lighting. Now what's the most important consideration when it comes to power for lighting?
Wow that's huge because…lighting guys, we're power hungry so the more power the better typically but I think whenever you are looking for a location I think one of the things that you have to do is you have to give consideration to how much power is available and not only for lighting because typically you're going to have band instruments, audio and video that you're going to power as well and so you really need to have a pretty good understanding of what you would like your service to look like and a little bit of what that's going to take, so that whenever you go in and you do that sight survey and you're looking at different venues to rent that you can check out the power. Because it may be one of those things that you have to negotiate in your rental would be the ability to have an electrician come in and add additional power in the room that you're going to use. [Timestamp: 2:09]
Yeah just have enough power is the first thing to check out, but you have to have some idea of how much lighting is going to be enough for what you want to do and of course audio happens at the same time and the two don't always get along. How do you handle power problems between audio and lighting gear?
You're trying to get me into trouble with my audio friends aren't you? That's a great question. Unfortunately there is the possibility that you do have a conflict. A lot of times with portable churches you're not using the most high-quality dimming out there available because you're not doing an install. You're throwing it in a road case and bouncing it down the road and a lot of times its little truss mount dimmers and they tend to bleed a little bit of RF and that can get into the audio. It goes back again to that whole power question you try to get as much separate power as possible. I want to make sure that all the grounds are good on both the audio and the lighting gear and then I want to make sure that the audio equipment is wired correctly because a lot of times when you have these issues if really go back and start checking through all of the audio cabling you find that you've got a shield that's broken or you find a bad direct box or guitar pick-ups, can be really bad about picking up that RF and sometimes the audio guys just have to work to solve that problem. On the lighting side we, like I said, we want to make sure that everything is grounded because the case ground will mitigate that RF to ground but we want to make sure that all the grounds are in place—nobody's broken off the ground pins. That's just a safety concern as well as a noise concern. [Timestamp: 4:03]
Yeah, the XLR's get banged around and how often do all the mic cables get checked on most of these portable set ups. And it can make a difference on the guitar lines using transformers and going low impedance a balanced mic cables on those. On the dimmers if you're just blasting light out there at full level it's one thing, but as soon as you start dimming that's usually when you hear trouble.
Right, whenever you start to dim that's whenever you start getting the dimmer switch to put off more RF and that's whenever you hear it. Another thing that I work really hard not to do and that's to never run the lighting data and the audio snake…I know a lot of people do that because it's easy but first of all there's a ability to get that cross talk between the digital data signal of the lighting console and the analog audio running down the snake and then second of all the mic cable in the audio snake is not the correct type of cable to run data over you can have issues with your data so that's one thing and then grounding them together that's another thing—you want to try to keep your grounds separate between your audio system and your lighting system. [Timestamp: 5:21]
And it can be a big problem just trying to get in there a head of time and finding out where all the breakers are and which one controls what outlets.
You can tell people all the time, "You have to go in and work with the venue that you're going into," sometimes you want to make friends with the maintenance people because a lot of times they can tell you instantly, "Yeah that's this, this, this, and this," and they can tell you how many circuits you have in the room and exactly what breaker panel they're in and all of that. Sometimes they can't and in those situations you really need to take a tester, if nothing else just a little desk lamp. Plug the desk in and then turn breakers off until you find what breaker that's on and then go around the room and check and see what other outlets are off and then turn that breaker back on and then verify that the outlets that were off came back on so you know, "OK well these outlets are all on the same breaker" and then be sure to mark them so know or draw a little map if they don't want you to actually take a "P" touch and actually mark the outlet then at least draw a drawing of the room and mark which outlets are what on a map and go around the room and find it all. Because I've had people that have said, "Oh yeah they tell us that we have ten different circuits in this room," only to find out that they only had three circuits in the room. [Timestamp: 6:46]
And I guess it's a good idea to have all your gear set up and turn everything on and just let it cook for a while because obviously it's a lot better to trip breakers in a pre-service test than after everybody's in there and you're doing it for real.
Absolutely, I tell people that are doing portable church, I tell them, "If you can do two weeks prior to a public opening." So typically a church will have a core group of people that are going to open and start the church and I tell them, "What you need to do is set aside two weeks, the first two weeks that you're moving into the building to come in and set everything up exactly like you're having church and exactly like you would when you are inviting the public in but just have church together as a core group and run everything and run everything hard and test things and test your systems and make sure you can actually get it loaded in." If you say, "OK we're going to start at 6 o'clock or we're going to have church at 8 o'clock, does that two hours really give me enough time to get it all loaded in? You may find that you really need three hours and so you have to come at 5 if you're going to have church at 8—that sort of thing. Aside from the technical things you find that running the coffee pots…are you going to trip breakers running the coffee pots? Are the coffee pots on the same breakers that you're trying to run the lighting off of. So if you have a couple of run through's it gives you some practice and you can work out all of the bugs and all the issues before you invite the general public in because you really only get one chance to make a really good impression for people that are coming for the first time and so you want to make sure that you have all of your ducks in a row before you get there. I think…just in making a comment towards the touring industry, one thing that people don't see is they'll go to a concert and they'll walk in and they'll think, "Man that was awesome. What a great concert." But they don't realize that before that concert ever went out on tour there might have been two or three months of just building technical systems and technical rehearsals and then rehearsals with the band and artists before it ever leaves and goes out on the road. And a lot of times people think, "Well now I've got all the stuff together, we've got everything purchased, we're ready let's go for it." And they don't do their due diligence. They don't spend the time working out the bugs figuring out how they're going to pack things…all the little mundane stuff maybe but all the stuff that makes you successful. [Timestamp: 9:19]

We are writing this letter in regard to the assistance provided to us by Maria Esther Llanos from the Breast Health Navigation Program at Rhode Island Hospital.
My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2007. As you can imagine, this was a very difficult time for us. After much discussion with family and friends, we decided to go to a breast surgeon who was associated with the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Rhode Island Hospital.
At first our experience was one of confusion. Trying to make appointments, schedule tests and get results was far more complicated than anticipated. My wife felt overwhelmed. When we went to the Cancer Center for an appointment with our oncologist, we met Ms. Llanos and were asked if we would like her to assist us as a breast health navigator during the various phases of treatment. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she has been a godsend.
As anyone who deals with this illness knows, there is much information to digest, many things to consider, and many decisions to make. The process can be, and is, overwhelming. Ms. Llanos has been invaluable in providing us with general information as well as obtaining specific information for us from various doctors involved when we required it. She has also handled scheduling all of the many appointments required and has assisted Sandra when new symptoms have occurred and new medication has been required. Her reliability/dependability and efficiency formed the basis of a very effective support relationship with us as well as our family members.
In addition to all of her assistance, she has also provided us with both moral support and encouragement. Her upbeat, compassionate nature and support is exactly what is needed at this time; these are characteristics not easily found in an individual. She has certainly made this difficult journey more bearable and is a great asset to this very important program.
My wife and I are tremendously thankful that this program has been available to us. We are grateful to Rhode Island Hospital for caring about their cancer patients at this very difficult time and to Avon for providing the funding for this most important program.

For Immediate Release: October 25th, 2013
| |||
Revlon Under Fire for Cancer-Causing Chemicals in Makeup Revlon is under fire today for selling makeup laced with cancer-causing chemicals to the public, all while marketing themselves as a company fighting breast cancer. The Breast Cancer Fund and the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics teamed up with online womens group UltraViolet today to demand the company drop these and other dangerous chemicals from its products. See the petition to Revlon here. See the letter-writing campaign to Revlon here. The most significant thing Revlon can do to prevent womens cancers is to eliminate cancer-causing chemicals from its cosmetics, which are used by millions of women and girls every day, said Janet Nudelman, director of program and policy for the Breast Cancer Fund and co-founder of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. "Revlon is putting cancer-causing chemicals in makeup, and that is shameful, said Shaunna Thomas, co-founder of UltraViolet. If soaring rates of cancer in young women aren't enough to make Revlon change their mind about lacing their products with toxic chemicals, hopefully outrage from their consumers will be. We demand Revlon take a stand against cancer and drop these chemicals from their products immediately. The groups are demanding that Revlon:
Revlon products sold in stores contained the following cancer-causing and hormone-disrupting chemicals, according to a survey by the Breast Cancer Fund and the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics
See the full survey here: www.safecosmetics.org/downloads/Revlon Ingredient Verification October 2013.pdf Federal law governing the use and disclosure of cosmetics ingredientswhich was adopted more than 75 years ago is outdated and weak, leaving decisions about toxic chemicals in makeup to the industry itself. Under current law, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration cannot require cosmetics companies to conduct safety assessments or pre-market testing, and cannot require product recalls. *CORRECTION made on 11/4/13: The original press release stated that BHA was found in Revlon products. While drugstore.com lists BHA as an ingredient in several Revlon products, subsequent research failed to find BHA on product ingredient labels. ### The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is a national coalition led by the Breast Cancer Fund, Womens Voices for the Earth, and Clean Water Action with more than 175 nonprofit organizations working to protect the health of consumers and workers by eliminating dangerous chemicals from cosmetics. www.safecosmetics.org The Breast Cancer Fund is the leading national organization working to prevent breast cancer by eliminating our exposures to toxic chemicals and radiation linked to the disease. www.breastcancerfund.org UltraViolet is an online community of over 500,000 women and men who want to take collective action to expose and fight sexism in the public sector, private sector and the media. |

Good afternoon,
We are ready to replace our 23 year old GE combo oven/microwave. My wife wants to replace it with double ovens. We've looked around at our local stores, and have found some competitive prices. Here are a couple of ovens that were quoted to us last night: GE Profile 27" PK956DRBB - $2050
I did a little searching on gardenweb and read that many on here like Electrolux and Bosch. And some people like Kenmore Elites, which are apparently made by Electrolux. I asked the guy who quoted us prices on the Frigidaire and GE, to go ahead and send me quotes for comparable Electrolux and Bosch models. So a few questions... Here's the Kenmore Elite that we would most likely consider from our local Sears store. What is its comparable model number in the Electrolux line? Does it have the TouchWave interface that some have talked about here? As an added bonus, this past weekend, the local Sears store had a 50% off sale on Kenmore ovens (including this one). The local owner said he would let me take part in that if I wanted, so around $1600. Of the ovens I listed, are there any that I should *not* consider (reliability/usability/etc.)? Do any of them stand clearly above the others? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Comparing the Elite and Electrolux, they seem different. Just a few differences- It looks like you can leave the racks in to self clean in the elite. The modes are different. In the elite I would clarify what the cake and bread modes are. It is vague in the manual. No rolling racks in the Elite. I would read both use and care manuals to see the differences. |

Here are some facts regarding dog waste
- It is NOT a fertilizer and takes up to 1 year or more to break down.
- Parasites including roundworm and hookworm can be found in infected dog feces, it can linger in the soil for years and if humans come in contact with it, they too can become infected.
- A single gram of dog waste can contains 23 million fecal coliform bacteria, giardia, and salmonella.
- It's a main contributor to "storm water pollution".
- Some dogs eat their own or the droppings left by other dogs.
- Your dog might be rolling around in it, stepping in it, and then tracking it in your house.
So Now that you know the "poop" give me a call so I can come scoop! (440)328-9126

Super Monkey Retarded Boy
Super Monkey Retarded Boy is the working title for NES game/engine that I've been working on for a while now. So far I have implemented multidirectional map scrolling and object-map collision detection.
Overall direction of the game is still pretty hazy. I haven't really thought much about the game design yet, only technical stuff. I will probably rip the graphics from commercial games for starters to get some kind of idea how the game is going to look. Hopefully at some point I'll find somebody to replace the placeholders.
The goal is to make an old school game with bit of a new school touch. It's most probably going to be a platformer, but it would be nice to add some character development features also. And a lot of raster effects of course.
What's already done
- Glitch-free multidirectional scrolling
- Status bar
- Object handling
- Sprite handling (rendering, cycling, tools)
- Background-object collision detection
- Object-object collision detection
- Sprite animation engine
- Object spawning/deactivating based on scroll (almost done…)
- Music/sound engine (MUSE)
- Sloped platforms
- Dynamic levels (collectable coins, breakable bricks, etc)
- Map editor
Here's an old demo of multidirectional scrolling and collision detection:

Of course, not Haley Joel Osment everyone uses the same scale, but the 90 80 70 60 scale for a b c d scale is now and has been for quite a while, quite common. there are resonance interactions within the climate system which proceed by such non-linear processes as strange attractors, resonant amplification, stochastic resonance, phase synchronisation, and complexity matching. Daniel j, i agree, on the assumption that that claim is true and i have my doubts there are many possible explanations including what the various health care systems are willing to pay for. nothing more need be said about your stupid neocon lib obsession. knowing how the black death spread is exactly what permits epidemiologist to control epidemics in this day and age.

Case law scattered around, with no particular, well defined law, or lack of a clear law about any particular thing is always used by overreaching opportunists as an excuse to ram thru some draconian catchall measure to cover their unwarranted notions salted in with something that actually needs to be covered. preaching to the choir, thanks for reaffirming how important it is to have a simple, but powerful one sentence pitch. . the wall street journal Guillermo Del Toro yesterday in their editorial came out strongly for that. people get ready, because van jones just may have given a hint that barack obama may effect martial law in the spring to become america dictator-in-chief.

Clear differences between Obama and Romney
To the editor:
More and more, with the presidential election upon us, it seems that a lot of people are saying and blogging things like "there's no difference", "they're all the same" and "it doesn't matter who wins."
Nothing could be further from the truth.
One candidate stands for a woman's right to choose, one is adamantly opposed to it. One stands for the rights of all Americans, including gays, to marry, one does not. One changed policies that saw the U.S. lose 700,000 jobs a month and has now had 51 consecutive months of job growth, one would go back to the old failed policies of you-know-who. One would have us engaged in eternal warfare, one has brought our troops home. One want the wealthy who have benefitted disproportionately from the last 10 years of tax cuts to pay 4 percent more in taxes to help the country, one would cut their taxes even more.
One stands for affordable health care, one stands for failed "market-based" solutions that have resulted in the highest costs of health care in the world and the fewest number of insured citizens of any industrialized nation. One stands up to insurance companies for disallowing those with "pre-existing conditions" from receiving insurance, one kowtows to the insurers. One candidate brought bin Laden to justice, one said he "wouldn't move heaven and earth" to get him.
One has had the same consistent message for four years, one has changed virtually every position he took in the primaries to cover up his more extreme views. One would not sign legislation guaranteeing equal pay for men and women, one did so as his very first official act.
And one stands to allow all to vote, one would restrict voting to the privileged.
All of which is why I think voting for President Obama is the only choice in this election that will keep the country moving on the right track — unless you think all the above positions Romney has taken sound intelligent.
Now, this is America. You can vote anyone you want — it's none of my business and I don't really care anyway. But don't for a minute think there's no difference between the two men. The difference couldn't be more obvious.

Hassan, Duncan are best for N.H.
To the editor:
Gov. John Lynch has been a very popular governor for New Hampshire. He was elected and re-elected four times. The reason for this was the fact that he was a moderate, a genuinely nice person and very capable. New Hampshire people like these qualities in their governors.
Maggie Hassan is cut from the same cloth. She is a very likeable person, very capable and not out of the mainstream.
If you plan on voting for Maggie, then you should plan on voting for Bill Duncan for Governor's Council. The new governor will need all the help she can get. Duncan, a graduate of the Naval Academy, a veteran of the Vietnam War and a successful owner-businessman will be that person. Count on it!

Lyons is right choice for 18th Essex
To the editor:
Jim Lyons is just the kind of person we need representing the 18th Essex District. Jim represents change and reform in state government. Jim has worked diligently to increase our local aid and he has fought against the reckless spending of our hard-earned tax dollars. Jim is fearless when standing up for the taxpayers, small business owners, and struggling working families of the district.
That's why the big city Democrat power-brokers are frantically spending so much money to hurt Jim Lyons and his advocacy for local aid and responsible budgets. These power-brokers will do anything to defeat Jim and then bring back one of their own — Democratic insider Barbara L'Italien.
L'Italien followed along with the power-brokers to slash local aid and hike the sales tax by a whopping 25 percent. Our local communities were punished by the cuts, and our consumers and small businesses were hurt by the tax hike.
L'Italien was a willing ally of former Speaker Sal DiMasi and current Speaker Bob DeLeo. DiMasi and DeLeo misspent our tax resources on bailing out corruption like that of Mayor William Lantigua and his allies at Lawrence City Hall, giving taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens, and lavishing patronage on the scandal-ridden Probation Department. It's no surprise that L'Italien, herself, inherited a $100,000 per year patronage paycheck in the state bureaucracy. Now, she's coming back and demanding more.
Is it any wonder these insiders and power-brokers fear the kind of reform, openness and transparency that Jim Lyons carries from our Merrimack Valley to Beacon Hill?

Hi, I just had a ceiling fan installed and there is a light attachment that came with the fan which is necessary to light my bedroom. The light attachment are three 60 watt clear candolabra bulbs surrounded by clear glass cup. I don't like the way this light shines in my room. Because the glass cups are clear and the bulbs are clear in conjunction with the vents on the fan, it projects lines all over the room almost like a dance club. So, I'm looking for any sugestions anyone may have as far as what bulbs or glass cups I can purchase to solve this issue. I love the fan but need to soften the lighting effect in some manner but still need brightness for my room as it an overhead light. The requirementis the the bulbs can only be 60 watts max on each of the three sockets. I welcome your ideas! Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
1. Switch to bulbs that are opaque - so salled soft white. 2. Call the manufacturer and see if there are light cups made of opaque glass. Also ask their opinion for softening and diffusing light. 3. Install a rotating disco light ball below the fan! |
thank you. I did call the manufacturer who suggested I try Home Depot for opaque lighting cups. Sure enough, I was able to by three of them for only about $13.00 total. I put them in last evening and the disco light ball in my bedroom is now a thing of the past! Thanks again. |

Planet 161
Created for the Ludum Dare 23 Jam, this charming puzzle platformer puts you in the role of Soldier Hinds as he attempts to escape the clutches of the evil Zordak on the small prison of Planet 161. It isn't just a great game for something created in under 48 hours. It's a great game full stop. Using three very different types of guns that allow you to manipulate your environment in different ways, Planet 161 dishes out cramped levels that unfold in complexity, offering up a few pretty compelling exercises for the gray matter while not suffering from being overly difficult.

Am i the only one having trouble with the jump mechanic? The game doesn't like to jump twice (and i don't mean double-jump). Seems i need to wait in between my first jump before i can try for the second. It's made some levels more difficult than they otherwise would be.
Otherwise, a fun game.

Does anyone else in the Knoxville area collect Sansevieria? I got hooked on them last year and want more types. Right now, I have somewhere around 20 types. Most of mine are single specimens and cannot be divided yet, but I do have a few extras. I am too lazy to ship them, but would be happy to deliver them (already potted and growing well in a nice clay pot) in the Knoxville area if someone has one that I don't for trade. |
Follow-Up Postings:
i have "birds nest" but if you have 20 kinds, im pretty sure you have that one already. |
Ryan, bird's nest Sansevieria are not a particular type (species or cultivar) but a form. The short and squatty, instead of long and more verticle, Sansevieria similar to S trifasciata are often called bird's nest Sans. I do have a few but not every type. If you happen to know the cultivar, it might be something I didn't have. I would especially be interested in any bird's nest form with stong variegation. |
lol, i figured that there would be a cultivar but i dont know it. i took this plant home when they closed the Farragut High School greenhouse in early 2003. it has been at my moms house since. i think it has some varigation on it but not bright white, just lighter and darker green colors. if i could get you a picture of it could you ID it? im fairly certain its a common one, because it didnt come from someones private collection, it came from a public highschool :) |
I doubt I could for sure. I am becomming more and more familiar with different types, but there are over 130 types including different species and cultivars. I can ID some of them pretty good. I bet if you posted a picture in the Savsevieria Gallery or Forum, someone could easily ID it and be more sure than I would be. |

I am 57 years old and My belly looks like Im carring twins. I went into Menapause at 37 right after my daughter was born. I finished menapause at 44. The belly started right after my first colonoscopy. 2 years ago I had enough of the "its just fat from having babies and post menapause". I have had test such as sonograms, in and out to check to see if it was a "female" issue. I had scans on my spleen,liver,stomack, galbladder and on all the major blood vesels in the abdomanal area. No one seems to really know what it is. Does anyone out there have any ideas? |

Since you have had sonograms to check if it was a 'female' issue, I assume you had a uterine ultrasound to rule out any problems there. It's unlikely, with no other symptoms, but I know that ovarian cancer can have a swollen belly as one symptom, so I'm sure that would be something your doctor would have considered. If all the tests have come back normal, maybe it's just the way your body weight distributed over the years after menopause. Do you recall if your mother or aunts carried an unusual amount of weight in their abdomen? |

The rising door phone
Hatbox, their shout lost its spirit, and the whole mass was irresistibly drawn back like a wave receding from the shore. These attempts at an onset were repeated several times, but always with the same result. I remained under the apprehension of an attack for more than half-an-hour, and it seemed to me that the work of packing and loading had never been done so slowly.
I felt inclined to tell my fellows to make their best speed, but just as I was going to speak I observed that every one was doing his duty already; I therefore held my peace and said not a word, till at last Mysseri led up my horse and asked me if I were ready to mount. We all door bell marched off without hindrance. After some time we came across a party of Ibrahim's cavalry, which had bivouacked at no great distance from us.
As I stood there musing over this too perfect triumph of man, the full moon, yellow and gibbous, came up out of an overflow of silver light in the north-east. The bright little figures ceased to move about below, a noiseless owl flitted by, and I shivered with the chill of the night. I determined to descend and find where I could sleep. I looked for the building I knew. Then my eye travelled along to the figure of the White Sphinx upon the pedestal of bronze, growing distinct as the light of the rising door phone

Originating Calendar Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS)
Channeling the promise global interconnection, and framed as the mark of contemporary optimization, 'the digital' has come to represent the path towards the future for diverse nations, economies, and populations alike. In the midst of its accelerating pursuits across distinct global spaces, however, little has been made of the 'universalist' underpinnings that mobilize digitality's global spread, or of the distinct imaginaries around digital culture and global connection that emerge outside the given centers of techno-culture. This paper will attend to experiments in innovation spaces from the periphery, including the development of rural hack lab spaces in Peru, that distinctly engage materialities of nature, technology, and information to disrupt the dominant logics of innovation. By fostering collaborations between Latin American free software activists across a range of rural and urban site, and between transnational media producers and indigenous communities, such networks press a cosmopolitcal urging to 'think with the unknown,' and open up possibilities for uncovering distinct collective futures through an interfacing with multiple local pasts.

Gray water dumping
by Anonymous
I live on the Big Island of Hawaii - Kona side. We have a cess pool. We never ever had a cess pool before and we have a number of questions.
Today we are cleaning with Dawn dish washing detergent and Borax.
Is it safe to dump the dirty water in the yard or is it better I dump the water in the toilet?
What about bleach?
What about use of a garbage disposal?
Toilet paper best kept out and then what to do with it burn it or land fill it? (We here mexicans in mexico figured this one out long ago - apparently they do not to use toilet paper but if not then what?
We are trying to remediate mold without using hash cleaners but have reverted to bleach known for treating mold/mildew. We are looking into assessing what the best ventilation could be for our situation while we are cleaning. Any recommendations?
What is the best envornmentally sensitve approach as to what to put in and not put in a cess pool?
We are wondering if septic would be more environmentally sound practice?

Upon completion in 2014, the Lotte Super Tower in Seoul will be the tallest building in Asia and the second tallest in the world after the Burj Dubai. The winning selection in an international design competition, KPF's design for the 555-metre, 123-storey Lotte Super Tower will serve as the Lotte Group's new corporate headquarters.
Unlike other 'super-talls', the Tower will be truly mixed-use, approaching the ideal of a vertical city with planned uses including office, hotel, residential, retail, and connection to mass transit. The building's first six floors will contain retail; offices will occupy floors 7 to 60; 25 floors of residential on floors 61 to 85; and a 7-star luxury hotel will comprise floors 86 to 119. The dramatic culmination of the building will be a civic realm within its top four stories earmarked for extensive public use and entertainment facilities including an observation deck.
The design team is aiming to achieve a silver LEED accreditation. This long anticipated project has now earned all major zoning approvals, and excavation is nearly complete. There are four super towers planned for Seoul with Lotte at the most advanced stage of delivery.

C. Stanley Potter
From MN150
Winning Nomination
Mr. Stan Potter changed the culture of sight-impaired Minnesotans. His idea to establish a radio station for the sight impaired was complete genius. The station was the first of its kind in the United States. Since its inception, over 160 stations worldwide have been established. These stations have followed the exact Minnesota model and format to establish stations that serve the physically challenged community. The daily newspaper and current bestsellers are two types of written words read on this station each day. The Radio Talking Book continues to provide programming 24 hours a day. Stan belived that he could establish programs that would provide meaningful work for the disabled. Tin Cup Day broke his heart and he was determined to proactively cause its demise. Through his work with Minnesota State Services for the Blind he was successful. This brief synopsis of Mr. Potter's contributions to Minnesota touches on only two of the never-ending gifts he gave to the disabled in Minnesota. Stan's vision and complete sense of selflessness changed the lives of the sight impaired and physically challenged culture. Mr. Potter, deserves a place of honor in the Minnesota 150 exhibit.
History(c. 1918-1988) Making the written word available to all Reading a best seller, flipping through the pages of a magazine, scanning the headlines of a favorite newspaper--for people with impaired vision, these experiences are difficult, if not impossible. In 1969, C. Stanley Potter, an amateur radio enthusiast with impaired vision, developed a solution to this problem. With his friend Bob Watson, a former neighbor who was working for NASA as an engineer, Potter developed the Radio Reading Service, the first such service in the world, using the FM subcarriers of Minnesota Public Radio. Stan Potter and his brother, Bill, were both blind. After spending time at the Minnesota School for the Blind in Faribault, Stan and Bill persuaded their parents to move to St. Cloud, where the boys were mainstreamed in public schools. Stan went on to complete bachelor's and master's degrees at public colleges; for his dissertation, he transcribed the first Braille version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. Potter was director of the Minnesota State Services for the Blind from 1948 until 1985. It was during this time that he and Watson introduced their radio station. Nominator Cheryl Merrill of St. Paul tells us more: "His idea to establish a radio station for the sight impaired was complete genius. Since its inception, more than 160 stations worldwide have been established. The daily newspaper and current best sellers are two types of written words read on these stations each day. Minnesota Public Radio's Talking Book continues to provide programming twenty-four hours a day." Resource Links

I've some brand x thermometer RF receiver with three channels. It picks up three temperature reading from somewhere in the neighborhood. The temperatures are close to what one would expect. I don't know where any of the transmitter are located, just somewhere in the neighborhood.
This morning I got the expected temperatures near 30F on channels two and three but channel one reported 13F. Could someone have moved their transmitter to their freezer and it still transmit? Can a transmitter go bezerk? There is a mountain about 12 miles away. The transmitter will not transmit that far will it? |

I'd think the metal shell of a refrigerator would interfere with the signal. Maybe that sensor has a bad battery. Is it possible that two are in the sun and one in the shade? |
- Posted by albert_135 (My Page) on Sat, Dec 3, 11 at 8:49
All channels are back to reading nearly the same this morning. Yesterdays reported readings were before sunrise. Someone could have changed a battery I suppose. I've only this old receiver. I don't know where the transmitters are located. |

July 2009 Tools of the Trade An inside look at the eclectic range of bricklayer's tools hitting the market
This year's new bricklaying tools focus on comfort, ergonomics and simplicity. Tool companies have designed innovative new tools, improved existing tools, and are offering accessories to better serve masonry contractors.
Trow & Holden Inc. in Barre, Vt., is planning to unveil new accessories for its pneumatic tool line later this summer, says Norm Akley, company president. The line currently includes carving tools, chisel holders and comfortable grips. The new accessories will feature handles that reduce vibration while letting the user maintain superb control. "We manufacture a line of pneumatic tools for restoration and repair work," Akley says. "Our new vibration-eliminating handles will retrofit any of our pneumatic tools. The handles are ergonomically designed to improve both comfort and performance." New tools for brick joints "When you're filling brick joints, you use the grout bag to push the mortar or grout into the joint," says Steve Cook, sales and marketing manager for Kraft Tool. "It's easy to use and is ideal for stone, tile, brick and restoration projects. You can use each bag several times, and dispose with no clean up." The company's new variable-width convex jointer is made with extra-hard, tempered steel.
"The more tempered and hardened the steel, the longer a jointer lasts on the job," Cook says, pointing out that the jointer legs are tapered, allowing masonry contactors to adjust the pressure necessary for a smooth joint. "You're able to use the jointer in different size joints and various size working areas." Comfortable, simple hammers and chisels "Any time you're laying down masonry for a flat surface, this hammer would be great," says John Wight, VP of sales and marketing for Bon Tool. "The wider face gives you a larger surface when you're pounding pavers or a retaining wall." Wight says the hammer is perfect for setting brick pavers and retaining wall block, since it can deliver a heavy blow without harming the surface. Mason contractors can also expect more comfortable chisels. Trow & Holden is expanding its Comfort Grip hand chisel line. A contoured handle on the chisels gives users a better grip so they can deliver a more powerful blow. "We currently offer the Comfort Grip on three chisels and are looking to add more," Akley says. "These are new in the sense that people are finding that they are a simple and cost-effective way to split stone," he says. "This is the simplest tool out there, and it's still very effective." Better designed mortarboard "One of the benefits of our mortarboards is that when the temperature increases in the middle of the summer, the mortar will not dehydrate," says Shelly Carney, company VP. "With 1/2-inch plywood, you're basically putting mortar on top of an absorbent sponge." The mortarboards and mortarpans also increase the workability of mortar in cold temperatures, Carney says. "When you have a wet board in the winter, it freezes. When you put mortar on it, that rapidly changes the temperature of the mortar," she says. "Our boards don't freeze or change the mortar temperature, which is critical to the product's performance." Many customers who bought GATORBACK's first mortarboards five years ago are still using them, Carney says, noting that the company has made improvements to make the material more flexible, durable and ergonomic. "We added a rubber element, so they're able to withstand more abuse, especially during the winter," she explains. "Our mortarboards are easily four to five times longer lasting than a wood or metal pan. The durability and longevity are something we can offer with our boards; this is something contractors will never get from plywood boards." The company's newer mortarpan, which is six inches deep, allows masonry contractors to carry and then scoop out mortar. "It has handles in both sides, so it's easy to carry, even when it's full. The design and the fact that it won't absorb moisture help masons set up quickly and go to work," Carney says. "The mortarpan is also great for small repair jobs. You can mix the mortar in the pan, and you're ready to go." New twist on existing tools
"It's a heavier line, which many masons prefer because it doesn't stretch. You get a precision line," Cook says of the 216-pound test line. "It's a bonded, braded line. That's the strongest way to make mason's line. A special process makes the line abrasive resistant for long wear." The company is also offering a heavy-duty acid brush with a stainless steel scraper. "It's a cleaning tool," Cook says. "Masons can use it to scrape and clean newly laid masonry with hard-to-remove stains and mortar." The blade is great for scraping off mortar, Cook says. "This special brush with acid-resistant binding is a mix of palmyra and tampico fibers made for tough scrubbing with excellent liquid holding characteristics." Moving, storing and carrying tools "Traditionally, the mason will use a canvas bag," Cook says. "This new bag has many more tool carrying features and is easy to clean." Kraft Tool's new leather trowel pouch fits over a masonry contractor's belt to conveniently hold a small trowel. "Every mason will carry a small margin or pointing trowel," Cook says. "This pouch is made of leather, put together with rivets, to hold a trowel. This keeps the mason from having to carry the trowel in his pocket."

(PRWEB) September 11, 2012
Market experts expect the touch screen market to reach $14 billion in 2012 and triple by the next decade, underlining the importance of developing touch screen applications. Rapidly replacing keyboard and mouse, these devices have increased the demand for touch enterprise applications. Addressing the growing demand for touch enterprise applications, Asahi technologies, a web development firm, now offers custom-programmed touch applications for enterprises using Mono Touch.
Speaking at the launch of touch application development for enterprises, Vinod Subbaiah, CEO of Asahi Technologies laid special focus on Mono Touch, mainly due to its compatibility with .NET. "With C# compiler, CLR and .NET compatibility, Mono Touch is well suited for business enterprise related applications", stated Vinod Subbaiah. There are plenty of advantages with Mono Touch from cross platform development (Windows, iOS, and Android), LINQ support to reusable codes. However, the major benefit of lies in its Ahead-Of-Time compilation that enables programmers to produce a single statically compiled file saving valuable time and cost on development.
To help firms learn more about Mobile Touch Application Development, Asahi Technologies provides a free online consultation to clients letting them understand their mobile web solutions. The firm also specializes in other touch application development tools like Android SDK and Sencha Touch.
