NBN power play rolls over states

NBN Co will use federal powers to over-ride state laws to roll out fibre cables on power poles after commercial negotiations broke down with NSW government-owned utility Ausgrid.
In what is believed to be unprecedented use of federal telecommunications law, NBN Co will force Ausgrid to allow the installation of fibre cables on poles in a bid to save money on the $37.4 billion rollout.
Confidential NBN Co documents exclusively revealed by The Australian Financial Review this week showed the company had been planning to use construction at Long Jetty on the NSW Central Coast as a test case for these powers.
The documents, prepared on February 25, mark homes connected to Ausgrid's electricity distribution network as "high risk due to the fact that NBN Co does not currently have a [facilities access agreement] in place".
Ausgrid and NBN Co both confirmed on Tuesday that the government monopoly would go ahead with the use of the federal powers.
"Commercial negotiations between Ausgrid and NBN for the lease of Ausgrid's poles for the fibre rollout ended on March 20, 2013, without reaching a satisfactory agreement," an Ausgrid spokesman said. "Since conclusion of the commercial negotiations, Ausgrid has yet to receive any proposed program for the network rollout from NBN or its contractors."
NBN Co will be required only to reimburse Ausgrid for any losses to the utility as a result of the installation, removing any chance of a commercial profit for the NSW company.
One-quarter of rollout to be done overhead
Most of the NBN is being rolled out underground in ducts and pits leased from Telstra. However, about one-quarter of the fibre rollout will be done overhead to reduce costs in areas where the monopoly cannot access Telstra's infrastructure.

The federal powers could also be used more widely in NSW after interim agreements with two other utilities, Endeavour and Essential Energy, expired earlier this year.
NSW Deputy Premier Andrew Stoner last year accused NBN Co of trying to scalp $400 million from taxpayers through its negotiations with utilities. He said the money ultimately would have to be recouped by raising power prices.
"To my knowledge it's never happened before," said George Maltabarow, the former Ausgrid managing director who oversaw much of the discussions.
"NSW ratepayers will not get any commercial return on their assets, but worse than that they might actually be in a loss-making situation because they effectively lose control of it."
A spokeswoman for NSW Finance Minister Greg Pearce would not comment when asked if the state government would fight NBN Co's move or whether it had received legal advice on the matter.
NBN Co has attempted to sew up commercial agreements with power utilities over the past two years as a core part of the rollout. Agreements are needed in NSW to pass more than 10,000 homes in the state with fibre, by June, or 13 per cent of the company's promised target of passing 286,000 premises.
Quigley revised down target
NBN Co chief executive Mike Quigley has since revised down the target to between 155,000 and 175,000 homes and businesses by that time.
It has secured permanent agreements in some other states, but lack of utility access in NSW has become a potential bottleneck to the rollout. Those close to the discussions say NBN Co had displayed a "combative attitude" in negotiating access to power poles.
Mr Maltabarow said NBN Co's negotiating stance was surprisingly aggressive and that a key reason power companies were extremely cautious about allowing NBN Co's equipment onto its poles was that overloading could lead to them falling over and causing major damage.
The maintenance of poles and wires is a sensitive issue for utilities after an electrical pole failure sparked one of the Black Saturday bushfires in Victoria.
"NBN Co didn't like the fact that we had a view and weren't just going to roll over and do what they wanted," he said. "It's a worry to any asset owner, public or private, that they've just walked in and basically put impositions to get effective control of their assets."
A senior industry executive close to the rollout said utilities had no "great motivation to talk turkey with NBN unless there's a lot in it for them because they're a monopoly".
He argued that contractors building the broadband network, including Leighton Holdings and Transfield, were relying on NBN Co to strike agreements with the utilities.
New underground pits and ducts considered
"The contractors have committed to [targets] under the assumptions that NBN Co would have those [power pole agreements] signed because you cannot do anything if the utility doesn't want to help," the source said.
The internal documents show NBN Co also considered replacing rollouts on power poles by digging new underground pits and ducts itself. However, industry experts said it would quadruple the cost and introduce further delays.
"All [regions] in the Ausgrid footprint are being redesigned to eliminate aerial [designs], with the exception of Long Jetty FSAM 02, which NBN Co are reserving as a test case for Schedule 3. The effect on the premises passed is not material," the documents said.
An NBN Co spokesman confirmed the company had conducted "some very limited digging ourselves in NSW" in an area of around 1000 homes and businesses.
"You dig new pits and that's going to cost more than if you put the equipment on the energy company's assets," said another construction source intimate with the rollout.
"So if that [fibre serving area module] was going to cost $5 million, it's now going to cost $20 million."
Another senior industry executive close to the rollout said many of the areas marked for aerial rollout were in remote locations.
"There aren't enough drills in Australia to do that work and civil construction can be between 40-60 per cent of an FSAM's cost," the source said.
An NBN Co spokesman said: "We have an obligation to build the network as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. We have been trying to reach a commercial agreement with Ausgrid for more than 18 months, and have foreshadowed the need to use powers under the Telecommunications Act to gain necessary access."

The Samsung UA46C7000WF 3D TV is in the CHOICE TV lab and it's included in our most recent test of TVs, but we thought you might like to know what our first impressions of it are as a 3D TV. Price is $3699, including the compulsory Blu-ray (BD) player and two sets of glasses. No BD and glasses means no 3D.
We managed to convince 10 of our staff to spend about half an hour watching the supplied Monsters and Aliens movie. Most of them enjoyed the experience and thought the 3D effect was at least as good as they'd experienced in a theatre. There were some notable effects they didn't like much such as a lack of 3D effect in dark scenes, shadows behind objects which project out from the screen and blurring backgrounds were distracting. We also watched some of the NSW vs Queensland state of origin rugby league match which was broadcast in 3D. Sports fans thought it was pretty good, but there were some who thought the 3D effect was a bit distracting from the action. It's early days for this sort of broadcast and there's much room for improvement as broadcasters find the best angles and techniques to improve the viewing experience. No one was very impressed with the cost of the special glasses (around $120 to $150 a pair) and even less so when they realised you can't take your Samsung glasses around to your friends place to watch their Panasonic or LG 3D TV. Also, the panel was concerned that they could be easily broken or scratched and some mentioned that they could see reflections in them, even in a dark room. However, they didn't find them too uncomfortable, or difficult to wear with spectacles. We also tried the TV's 2D to 3D conversion option. It does make a difference and there is a sort of 3D effect, but it's not convincing. After watching 3D Two of the ten staff reported feeling as if they had motion sickness after only half an hour and this feeling persisted for some time. Obviously they won't be rushing out to buy a 3D TV any time soon, and if you're considering purchasing one we strongly advise you to spend some time watching one in a shop before handing over your credit card.
It works and isn't too expensive, but this TV is only the first to market and there'll probably be many improvements over time. Our advice is to wait and see. Remember at present there's very little to content for 3D TV and you get the whole world in 3D if you look away from the screen.

There's a lot of talk in the media about 3D TV at present. It's no doubt partly fuelled by the success of 3D movies such as UP and Avatar, but as 3D TVs aren't for sale in Australia yet, the discussion is a bit premature. This month Panasonic invited a number of journalists and reviewers to their offices to view one of its 3D TVs. The viewing was designed to show off the TV to its best advantage and there's no denying it looked good in these conditions. It's also important to note that the 3D TV we were watching was a pre-production model, so things could change by the time it hits the retail stores around the middle of 2010. The demonstration TV was a top-of-the-range (1920 x 1080) 127cm plasma with special processing hardware and software to handle the 3D processing, but you can use it as a normal 2D TV. Sony also demonstrated some of its 3D LCD TVs this month. The technology that produces 3D on LCD is different to that used for plasma, but you still have to wear special glasses, so from a viewer's perspective it's much the same. I still have a number of reservations about 3D in the lounge room and these demonstrations did little to dispel them. You have to wear special battery-powered glasses to see the 3D effect and they could be uncomfortable over long periods. The Panasonic requires you to be within 'line-of-sight' of the TV, so the glasses can sync with the TV's pulsing of the image. This isn't a major problem, except that in our demonstration there was just a slight delay sometimes if you turned away from the screen. This resulted in a very brief flicker as the glasses realigned themselves. Another problem with the glasses is cost. Panasonic wouldn't put a price on theirs and suggested only one or two pairs would be supplied with the TV, so having friends over to watch a movie could be an expensive business. Not to mention what a small group of five-year-olds could do with them. The Sony glasses look similar, but in the demonstration, just moving off axis or rotating your head – as you would if you were lying on your side – resulted in a noticeable loss of definition and 3D effect.
In a recent launch of Samsung 3D TVs, Samsung have put a price of US$149 per pair for its 3D glasses.
The 3D image on both the Panasonic and Sony screens appears blurry and the colours are out of alignment when viewed without the special glasses, but 2D images are just as crisp as you'd expect from a TV of this specification. With the glasses the Panasonic 3D illusion is convincing in its depth, and the detail appeared to be just as good as with a 2D image in the short demonstration. The Sony was less convincing and seemed a bit jittery, but in both cases we're looking at pre-production models and some glitches may be sorted out by the time these products hit the shelves in June or July. 3D TV is an illusion. We see depth because our eyes are a small distance apart and our brain combines the images from each eye. 3D TV uses this to trick us into seeing depth by pulsing images taken from slightly different positions into each eye in a sequence so fast that our brains can't process the flicker, but can see the image. However, in the real world our brain also maintains some control over where we focus on a scene. The bits we aren't looking at are out of focus and we can deal with complicated scenes by allowing our eyes to rove around focussing on those parts of the scene that are of interest to us. As a consequence of the latter, we can build a picture of the scene in our mind as it would appear if we could see most of it in focus at the same time. What is rather odd about 3D TV is that the scenes are often either deliberately out of focus in some areas, or totally in focus. Either way our ability to control the focus is taken away. I found this a little disturbing at times and quite tiring after a while. The prospect of watching a lot of 3D really doesn't excite me that much, but the occasional movie could be fun. My friends will have to bring their own glasses, though.

Cataclysm Beta: Warlock evilness (goodness) in build 12984 {WoW}
Oct 1st 2010 8:22PM I tried to find in the recent posts in this column, but I don't seem to find it... Im not sure if this comment is the best spot to bring this issue but.... how about spellstone/firestones?
I was tinkering with my char in the PTR today and I couldn't find any of these two spells in my spellbook.... I had one of each in my bags but they didnt have functionality (couldn't apply to weapon)....
are they simply gone? or is it some bug in the PTR? Does anyone know anything about it?
Patch 3.3 PTR: More DoTs {WoW}
Oct 15th 2009 6:40PM I feel pretty sad to see destruction warlocks being nerfed again, even if there will be a dps increase for affliction warlocks. While a mage or a hunter can easily boost 5k dps on a raid with a 2400 gear rating, for a warlock the only chance to hit over 4k is destruction. So destruction being nerfed again, let's say in 10%, would mean that while other classes do well, a warlock would stand at 3.6k dps, but oh yeah, like a bad humour joke from Blizzard, now a warlock can choose to do a lower performance ticking different buttons.
IMO, there is a constant pressure over individual performance in raids. I play in the Bronzebeard realm, and I constantly see people being booted out from Onyxia and Vault of Archavon raids for low individual dps performance. No raid leader thinks or knows how nice is a demo lock little critical buff that might tick or not, and this is something that Blizzard should think about.

Leinster consolidated their position in the RaboDirect Pro12 play-off places with a 26-11 victory over Cardiff Blues.
Cardiff had been enjoying a home revival of late but the game was effectively over as a contest by half-time and a brave fightback after the break was never going to be enough.
Ian Madigan kicked the visitors into an early lead but opposite number Rhys Patchell cancelled it out in the 13th minute, although he did then miss a long-range effort to put the Blues in front.
Leinster lock Tom Denton was sin-binned following an off-the-ball incident and they were still a man short when Madigan put them back in front with a kick that hit both post and crossbar.
Blues then infringed after a Jason Tovey fumble to allow Madigan to extend the lead and Leinster emphasised their superiority with a try from scrum-half Isaac Boss, who squeezed over from a ruck four minutes before the break.
There was still time for the Irish to cross again though, wing Harry Robinson ruled that he had taken the ball back over his own try-line and from the resulting scrum, number eight Jordi Murphy dived over.
Madigan's conversion gave his side a 20-point lead at the turnaround but Cardiff came out blazing with number eight Robin Copeland making ground into the opposing 22, but the backs were kept at bay.
However, the try came on 50 minutes with Tovey sneaking in at the corner, although Patchell's conversion attempt embarrassingly never left the ground.
The young stand-off did add three points before the hour when Leinster were caught offside, and a Patchell burst briefly raised home hopes only for play to be called back.
Madigan stroked over a penalty on a rare visit to home territory 10 minutes from time and the visitors re-established control as the game petered out, without threatening a bonus point.

Ok, I'm not entirely sure if this goes in here, but seeing how a "Favorite Foods" thread is in here, I don't see why not. Anyhow...
What is your most favorite Walt Disney World tradition? Is it a food you eat? A ride you go on? A special souvenEAR you buy? What?
A special tradition my family has whenever we go is to get a Christmas ornament for every trip. We have a really cool tribal mask ornament from the AKL, as well as a Christmas-themed photo frame from World of Disney and A couple other generic-mickey-icon ones. I can't wait to get a tropical-themed ornament from the Caribbean Beach Resort when I go!
Another tradition we have is that we always explore the resort we stay in BEFORE going into the parks for the trip. Usually this means swimming in the pool. Usually for Dad, however, it means taking a much-deserved nap in the room after a long plane flight. :P

About one-third of all small business failures can be traced back to employee theft and other worker crimes, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. As you might expect, retailers are particularly vulnerable, primarily because of the relatively short-term or part-time tenures of many clerks and cashiers.
How vulnerable? In 2011, the industry lost more than $35.3 billion to theft, 44.2 percent of which was attributed to inside jobs by employees. Although that was a slightly lower percentage than in the previous 12 months, it was substantially more than the losses related to shoplifting and organized crime (about 36 percent of total retail shrinkage) or administrative errors (12 percent), a National Retail Security Survey shows.
How can a small retailer reduce its exposure?
First, an owner or hiring manager can implement numerous measures to avoid hiring a risky employee in the first place and to build awareness about this problem among existing staff. Here are the top eight pre-employment techniques, as ranked by the national survey referenced above:
- Criminal conviction checks
- Multiple interviews
- Verification of past employment history
- Personal reference checks
- Drug screening
- Driving history checks
- Credit checks
- Education verification
There are also some very practical steps that retail store owners and managers can take to cut down on losses related to inside jobs. These solutions don't necessarily require intrusive product tags and sensors that alert you when an item leaves the premises. In fact, they involve features you may already have in your Intuit POS system but haven't put to use.
Here are two specific ideas:
1. Get on top of inventory. It is difficult to prevent losses if your company can't properly account for how many items are on store shelves or in storage closets and warehouses. Investing in a POS system that has integrated inventory capabilities helps you track what's coming in and out of the store, without requiring someone to spend time physically counting it. That way, you'll be alerted if something goes missing.
2. Keep better tabs on employee hours. Another practice to consider is using your POS system to correlate employee hours with specific sales trends. If items disappear during a certain shift but weren't rung up as a transaction, the store owner can dig into what happened.
"Most small retailers don't know it, but they can actually use Intuit POS to map employee hours to sales — by day, by the week, even by the hour," said Erik Roodsari, product manager for Intuit POS. "If they're doing regular inventory, they may be able to spot spikes in shrinkage and map that to their employee activity. One retailer did this to quietly confirm her suspicions and ultimately prosecute the employee she fired."

EchoStore Opens at Eton Centris Walk!
Call it serendipity. A happy surprise to discover this store right at Eton Centris Walk in Quezon City. And it fits nicely into its surroundings, too, with its green walls, wicker-patterned chairs, and brick façade. EchoStore's location is so convenient and accessible. Q.C moms don't need to go all the way to Serendra for their favorite eco-friendly products.
I had a nice chat with its owner, Sharon Chua, over a cold glass of pandan iced tea one. A former preschool teacher and mom to three kids, Sharon shared the store is a result of her desire for her family to live a healthier, greener lifestyle. She is hoping shifting to a greener diet might help her eldest child who has been diagnosed with ADD (attention deficit disorder).
So began her crusade. Sharon read up on organic and natural food and products, became a conscientiousness shopper, and taught her sons to plant kangkong in their garden. But she admitted, the lifestyle shift wasn't easy. For one, it was difficult to shop because there was no one store that solely carried organic products, at least not in the vicinity. Thus, came the idea to bring EchoStore to Q.C.
In EchoStore, everything is under one roof. From bath and body products, cleaning aids, milk, veggies, dips, and chips. All the products are organic, nature-friendly, and grown or made locally.
It's also a cafe where the dishes served are made from organic ingredients. There's also a play area for kids so the moms can shop in peace.
Sharon's vision for her store is to become a place where families can gather on weekends or where moms can meet to swap stories, parenting tips, and be inspired to make the change to an eco-friendly lifestyle.
"It's a lifestyle for me. I want it to be something that people, when they come here, they will say 'kaya ko gawin ito'," she said.
And here are a few of Sharon's picks from her store:
CAMARU Naturals Bamboo Charcoal Clarifying Soap
It's said to be effective for treating acne, has anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties, and promises quick results in a few days.
VITAOILS Mulberry Healing Oil in Lavender Scent
Made with virgin coconut oil, organic mulberry oil, and therapeutic-grade essential oils that not only smoothes the skin but also relaxes the mind and body. Helps heal muscle and joint pains, wounds, burns, boils, dry skin, arthritis, insomnia, and stress.
MOMMY PATCH Lavender Rescue Stick
This lipstick-sized stick can be used for insect bites, burns, cuts, scrapes; works as a skin re-generator, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, deodorizer, and perfume.

Convening Conversations that Matter February 17, 2011 Since the beginning of the year, I've been traveling more internationally and have had several great conversations with highly-placed alumni and advisors in global leadership roles. From those conversations, I have gotten a much keener sense for what they want and need from business schools and what they want and hope to see from Kellogg, in particular. They all love Kellogg. They have a deep passion and connection to the school. But there is a general sense across all of my conversations that Kellogg has an opportunity to reignite its spark—that gutsy, innovative, entrepreneurial spirit that first put us on the map. But the task is different in 2011 than it was in 1981, and so is the landscape. We're an established player—a known entity with some distinct strengths and legacies, and the world is more complex. To set our next trajectory, we need to reconnect with our core—a deep understanding of markets and how to strategically position firms within them, strong relationship building and negotiations skills, and an innate sense for the importance of culture in building resilient companies and organizations more broadly. Through those differentiators, we'll create avenues for Kellogg to innovate the practice of management education once again. One key element of our new trajectory is to reenvision how we connect with our core community members—our students, alumni and corporate partners—how we engage with them, deepen relationships and ignite that purple Kellogg spirit. In the age of social media and the Internet, the task of community building is so different now than it was 30, or even 10, years ago. We held some important conversations on campus last week, where we announced a new organizational structure. This structure takes key administrative units that used to report independently to the dean's office and creates integrated teams focused on community building—across all of our degree programs, geographic locations and different community members. It will be exciting as we move into these new teams over the next few weeks and months and brainstorm about how to build and engage the Kellogg community in new ways for the 21st century.

Colbie Caillat shows Kauai roots in "Little Things" video
by: Derek Paivaposted: Tue Feb 17, 2009 at 09:59 PM
Hanalei Pier (2:06)
Caillat and her friends drive to the much-photographed landmark on Hanalei Bay. The pier—which her and her friends would jump from to wade in the water—was one of Caillat's regular hangouts as a teenager.
Caillat: "This is my favorite place. I love the view of Hanalei Bay at sunset. It's just so gorgeous."
Doane: "The day we filmed was a perfect day. The weather was great. We let Colbie just have fun and do what she normally did."
Caillat: "Every time my friends and I would get off from work, we'd walk to the pier, jump off, swim back, get our exercise and have fun. All of the girls in the video are my best girlfriends that I've known forever. Some of them had been to Kauai, and some of them hadn't."
Doane: "They all got to just go in the water and have fun for an hour."
Kilauea Falls (2:32)
Caillat and her friends next take a dip at the remote waterfall near Kilauea. Getting there isn't as easy as it looks in the video.
Caillat: "The falls are actually on private property so most people don't know about it."
Doane: "But people hike there all the time."
Caillat: "It's a kind of gnarly hike down to it. It takes about 45 minutes to hike to it and it's all downhill. So when you have to go back up, it's hard. We hiked down there with the entire crew, filmed and walked back up."

Death toll in Iraq cafe suicide attack rises to 32
April 19, 2013 - 4:30 AM
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi police and morgue officials say the death toll in a suicide bombing inside a Baghdad cafe has risen to 32 killed and 65 wounded.
A suicide bomber set off his explosive belt inside the cafe Thursday night. It was packed with young people enjoying water pipes and playing pool.
Police said Friday that some bodies were found in a back street because some people were thrown out of the cafe by the powerful explosion.
All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters.
Violence has been on the rise ahead of Iraqi provincial elections set for Saturday.

Sold-out crowd flocks to Mike Tyson show at Balboa Theatre
Tyson's one-man show heads to LA this weekend
SAN DIEGO - A one-night-only show featuring former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson had the Balboa Theatre in downtown San Diego buzzing Tuesday night.
The former fighter and convict hit the stage for nearly two hours as part of his one-man show, "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth."
"I had to fight for tickets to get here. Las Vegas was sold out; [Los Angeles] is sold out for 3 nights. It's a great show," said audience member Steven.
In the show, Tyson takes the audience through his turbulent life. In one story, he described his first fight.
"Beat the hell out of this guy, right. I didn't know what I was doing, but I knew that I won the fight. It was love at first fight," Tyson said.
Tyson touched on all angles of his life, such as his troubled youth, his 1992 rape conviction and the three years in prison that followed. He also discussed the incident in which he bit a chunk out of Evander Holyfield's ear in the ring, as well as his notorious face tattoo.
While Tyson's story can be quite sad, the show had the San Diego crowd smiling on their way out the door.
Tanisha Tankard said, "I thought it was going to be … I didn't know what to expect, but it was amazing."
"We love a good tale of redemption. There is a lot of honesty. It's an articulate, good show," said Fabio Arciniegas.
Tyson is scheduled to perform in Anaheim on Wednesday night and will have shows in Los Angeles this weekend.

Canadian Blood Services Celebrates National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week We honour and commemorate the heroes who helped save or improve the lives of so many Canadians
Apr. 23, 2012 (Toronto, ON) – Sue Thompson has no words to express the depth of her gratitude to two heart donors and their families. Her son Robbie is alive today thanks to those donors.
Robbie Thompson and his mom, Sue Thompson celebrating his 14th birthday.
This week, Canadian Blood Services celebrates National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week. From Apr. 23-28, we honour and commemorate organ and tissue donors and their families who helped save or improve the lives of many more Canadians.
"Organ and tissue transplantation saves lives, gives hope to patients with end stage organ failure and provides others with renewed lives," says Kim Young, Executive Director, Organs and Tissues. "By making your decision and registering or documenting your wishes to be and organ and/or tissue donor your family will never be required to make this decision on your behalf."
In partnership with several organ and tissue donation and transplantation organizations and patient/advocacy groups across the country, Canadian Blood Services is highlighting this issue through the stories of a 2-time heart recipient and a tissue donor.
There are now about 4,300 Canadians waiting for a life-saving organ and more than 2,000 waiting for cornea transplants. These numbers don't reflect those who never even make it to a waiting list. One organ donor can help save the lives of up to eight people. A single tissue donor can help improve or enhance the lives of as many as 100 patients.
Canadian Blood Services is encouraging Canadians to talk to their family and loved ones about their wishes and sign up or register as an organ and tissue donor. Visit organsandtissues.ca for more information about living donation or to learn how to register your consent in your province. See and hear the stories of Robbie and Sue Thompson and Denice Klavano or visit Canadian Blood Services' YouTube channel 18882DONATE.
Denice Klavano, mother of tissue donor "I think that the one gift out of this terrible tragedy is to know that in a way, his eyes still see the world, although through someone else's lens."
Sue Thompson, mother of heart recipient Robbie "When Robbie was on the transplant ward after his second transplant, and he was walking around, he'd meet up with other kids, and we realized there were several families, several children there that had received organs the same night that Robbie had. There was this incredible feeling that this one donor had saved all these children's lives."
Dr. Sam Shemie, pediatric intensive care physician in Montreal and medical director of donation at Canadian Blood Services "Transplantation is fantastic. It is heroic, it is amazing, it is wonderful… People use the word miracle, they mean different things. Whether it's a religious event, a spiritual event or it's just the coinciding of lots of effort from a lot of people."
About Canadian Blood Services
Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the supply of blood and blood products in all provinces and territories outside of Quebec. Canadian Blood Services also oversees the OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network, and provides national leadership for organ and tissue donation and transplantation. Canadian Blood Services operates 43 permanent collection sites and more than 20,000 donor clinics annually. The provincial and territorial Ministries of Health provide operational funding to Canadian Blood Services. The federal government, through Health Canada, is responsible for regulating the blood system.

Apple announced the iPad Air — the "world's thinnest full-size tablet" — along with the much-anticipated Retina Display iPad mini in San Francisco on 22 October. Both have debuted to reasonable acclaim, even if Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak isn't too impressed. Personally, the announcement itself opened my eyes to a few new trends.
New iPad mini is good news for Android vendors
I've been pretty adamant over the last few months that the tablet market was split in two; suspended between high-end iPads (plus some hybrid Windows 8 devices) and cost-effective Android models. I really didn't see much middle ground, perhaps until more of those 8-inch x86 machines starting falling below $400.
The latest iPad mini is an extension of that. Sure enough, there's a Retina Display and the A7 processor, but it's important to note that its prices now rise to $399 while the original iPad mini slips to $299. The iPad 2 remains too at $399, although why anyone would buy it at that price is a mystery to me.
[I agree with CITEWorld's Ryan Faas that it distinguishes the iPad line-up and makes upgrading much more appealing.]
Who benefits out of this? Surprisingly, its Android OEM vendors. The race to the bottom has been unrelenting in the tablet market and margins have been betting slimmer as consumers demand hi-res displays and quad-core processors at affordable price points. That's all right if you're Amazon and Google – which monetize in other ways – (although Amazon has said that it can't afford a $99 Kindle Fire), but not so good if you're an out-and-out hardware manufacturer.
Fortunately, the new iPad prices give these guys some breathing space although it remains to be seen if consumers will be as willing to splash out up to $400 on an Android tablet.
Free apps are bad news for developers…and Office for iPad
'Free' was a buzz word at the Apple conference. Apple announced that its latest version of Mac OS (Mavericks) is now free to all customers running OS X and also added that iWork and iLife apps would come free with new iOS device purchases.
As far as the latter is concerned, the cynic in me says that demand for the paid versions hasn't been as high as Apple would have liked.
Nonetheless, that does seem to be the way productivity apps are going; Quickoffice, Cloudon and Quip are all free, amongst others, and some of these rely on in-app payments and subscriptions.
This isn't the end of the world should Microsoft eventually debut Office for iPad, which would likely be free anyway with an Office 365 subscription, but it does show that its imitators are getting a whole lot better.
(Worth reading: Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak dings the iPad Air, Apple CEO Tim Cook says 'competitors are confused' about tablets & Behind Apple's new iPads is a push to extend its software edge)
App focus turns to quality, not quantity
Apple is now up to 475,000 iPad-specific apps, which is pretty impressive considering that figure was at 375,000 in June. But with the iPad Air and iPhone 5S sporting the 64-bit A7 processor that is sure to come to other iPads in the future, you have to think that future apps will be more extensive than they are today. The app developers I've been speaking to — including Quip and Readdle — have certainly been very positive about it.
"When Apple has a 64-bit version of iOS and the apps, they'll be able to take full advantage of the architecture," said analyst Jack Gold after the announcement.
Is Apple actually bringing "innovation" or just talking it?
I've lost count the number of times a PR spokesperson has told me that their client's product was innovative or that it had a great 'user experience' (which surely is in the eye of the beholder).
Apple, sadly, is now one of that crew. ""It's been an incredible period for innovation and new products," said Cook at the event. "Any other company would be incredibly proud to have just one of these new products."
Let's get real here – the new iPads are just that little bit better than the ones before.
The 64-bit A7 processor, the lighter chassis on the iPad Air, the Retina Display on the mini – it's all evolution not revolution. Even the presentations are a little tired, as Nick Bilton writes on the New York Times.
Food for thought; iPad Pro is up next?
Consider this; Apple now has the Mac mini, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPad mini and iPad Air. Spot the missing link.
While not commenting on the possibility of an iPad Pro, Creative Strategies principal Tim Bajarin reckons the iPad Air is being positioned as a business device and reckons a future hybrid device could be in the works.
"While Apple has not embraced this convertible or 2-in-1 idea, it is clear to me they understand the potential of a product like this and could easily create their own unique branded version of this concept in the future," he wrote in Techpinions.
There would certainly be demand for an iPad Pro — especially if that rumored new iPad keyboard cover came to fruition — and Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster reckons it is inevitable. But Tim Cook would have to first eat a little crow having previously dismissed the notion of hybrid tablets.
"Our competitors chased netbooks," said Cook. "Now they're busy making PCs into tablets and tablets into PCs."

I was looking for Turface MVP when I came across a distributor of lawn care and sports field products. They did not have Turface but the customer care employee said that Pro Choice Red is there version of Turface. She said people do come in and by it for a Bonsai soil mix Would Pro Choice Red be a good substitute for Turface MVP for gritty mix? Amn info would be appreciated. |

I briefly looked at the website, I did not see any mention of particle size, but as long as the majority of the particles are between 1/8 to 1/4, it looks good. |
Thanks, for the input. Yes I screened everything between 1/8 -1/4. There actually was not much dust in the bag compared to oil dry and napa material so I got to use alot of the bag. |

Hi folks... I just realized my little project has a small snag -- two different voltages involved...
I bought a RFID Access control unit (a keypad-style device where you can swipe an Radio-Frequency ID tag near the reader to allow access into the building), and I hoped to run an electric door strike from it. The door strike normally sits in the locked position, and when juice hits it, it moves a piece of metal out of the way (I assume via magnets) to permit the door's latch to clear the door strike so people can enter.
The Access Control unit runs on 12VDC, and it says its Lock Relay is 12VDC, but the electric door strike said 16-24V, and I think it is AC.
Any instruction on what wires on the keypad need to be connected to the strike or the strike transformer, etc would be a help... I'm getting very confused, partially because of all the extra terminals in the diagram (for bell, ground, etc), and the butchered-English the pamphlet is written in isn't helping. Thanks for any help or suggestions!
Follow-Up Postings:
You're right, that pamphlet's engrish is horrible, and I can barely make any sense of it. It APPEARS that the output is an SPDT relay with its common terminal internally connected to ground. I haven't personally seen a real-life electromechanical relay whose contacts are rated at a mere 12VDC, so, if I were feeling really daring, I might tell you that it'll work fine simply using a seperate transformer and tying the grounds together. In any case, yes, you need a seperate transformer. Assuming the built-in relay really, truly, can't handle more than 12V (impossible, imho, unless it's not a real relay, but rather some semiconductor-based output), you also need a seperate relay. As it stands, I'd say the best bet is to obtain a 12V-coil relay, attach its coil between "+12V" and "PUSH/NO". Then wire the external relay's COM and NO terminals in series with the door latch and its 24VAC transformer. |
Easiest way is to get an electric strike that is rated 12/24VDC (field selectable) |
I'm not convinced this "john" critter is really too dedicated to this project if he can't even give us the model number! |

Sorry guys, for the week's delay. I was on a cruise and didn't have access to a computer (at least one that didn't cost a lot per-minute). For some reason I didn't see the post from 7/22 before I left, so sorry... It's an off-brand access control unit (although it did have most of the features I was looking for), and seems to be made by KAWA, model #MG236C. I can buy a 12V DC door strike, since that seems like it would simplify the setup. Voltage: DC 12V, Current: 450mA (NO function -- Normally Opened -- Fail Secure). KAWA does say about this door strike: "Please note that this electric strike can connect directly to access control unit, but we do not suggest buyer to do so because it will shorten the lifespan of your access control unit due to high current passing through the electric strike. Instead, you should connect the strike directly to an intelligent uninterruptible power supply that has NC/NO output. Make sure your UPS is "intelligent" meaning that it has NC or NO power output and can receive "door open" signal input from your access control." Would a relay work in place of this "intelligent" UPS? (I don't need a UPS functionality in this application.) Would this relay be the right one: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062481 Thanks again for your help! I'll be sure to be checking this thread reliably now that I'm back. |
No matter what the strike and reader voltages, etc are, I would cascade it through a relay. Buy a relay with coil voltage that matches the reader, I guess it's 12VDC so you must already have 12VDC available, right? Have the relay trip whatever you want, at any allowable voltage, etc. Just be careful ,many people screw the DC/AC , you'll wreck everything. It's very easy if you go slow and check all the voltages. The readers and strikes can be expensive, so GO SLOW. The reader can be supplied with the same transfomer a sthe stike. But be careful. You can get multi-ttap transformerhat will give you 12 and 24 VAC make sure you rectify the DC taht you need. |
- Posted by johncritter (My Page) on Tue, Aug 4, 09 at 23:18
Thanks for the advice... You said "so you must already have 12VDC available, right?" -- Are you just asking if the reader is 12VDC? I'm a little confused on the capabilities of a relay -- I'd match the coil voltage to the reader (12VDC in this case); but would the relay I'd want for an AC strike be any different than if I were using a DC strike? (i.e., can any relay handle both AC or DC, and I only have to specify the coil voltage and Amps?) Thanks! |
Electromechanical (normal) relays don't care whether their contacts are used for AC or DC, to an extent. For reasons related to arc quenching, you will find the contacts rated for lower voltage DC than AC, but I haven't seen one rated any less than 24VDC yet. |
- Posted by johncritter (My Page) on Thu, Aug 6, 09 at 23:59
Can any relay handle BOTH AC and DC at the same time? (i.e., the Access Unit completes the circuit to the magnetic coil (via DC), which then completes the AC circuit for the strike? They're entirely separate circuits, and the DC from the Access Unit never conflicts with the AC? Any relay of appropriate voltage can feed an AC circuit with a DC feed to the relay? Can you recommend a good place to purchase relays? |
Remember in fourth grade, in science class, you wrapped a wire around a nail and hooked it to a battery, and it made a magnet that you used to pick up paperclips and such? Imagine taking a switch, putting a spring on the handle that pulls it toward "OFF". The switch has a metal handle. Now put that magnet you made on the "ON" end of the switch. When you turn on the magnet, it pulls the switch "ON". When you turn off the magnet, the spring pulls the switch back to "OFF". That's _EXACTLY_ how a normal relay works. Stop over-analyzing things. We said it'd work. It'll work. Try Radio Shack. |
YES, Generally, the CONTACTS of a relay can, and usually do, control different voltages in different circuits. Almost any relay you can find will probably work in this application, IF IT HAS THE CORRECT COIL VOLTAGE. The coil is the smart side, it will be supplied, I think, 12VDC when your reader wants to. The contacts are independent and can switch any loads you want up to that relays rating, if it's only a 24VAC strike, almost any CORRECT COIL VOLTAGE electromechanical relay that is bigger than your ENTER key will work. So, yes, Radio Shack, and get one with a socket, it's easier to rewire and troubleshoot when it gets screwed up. |

I think there NEEDS to be a Tron ride, be it at Future World, or Tommarowland.
I think it'd make a great dark ride. or maybe a buggy ride like dinosaur that takes you on a tour into the computer world.something like that. Hey if you got a better tron idea let's hear it! or if you agree with me, that'd be great to.http://www.disneyworldtrivia.com/for...lies/grin2.gif

Scattered Shots: Internal review {WoW}
Aug 9th 2010 1:31PM You said you've tried BM with ferocity and tenacity and the same for MM. What about the cunning pets and the survival tree?
Scattered Shots: Internal review {WoW}
Aug 9th 2010 1:29PM For me, the first character I made when I bought Wow and its 2 expansions was a Dwarven hunter named Orleb. About a year later, my main is still my hunter and he's an 80 survival specced hunter currently gearing up through heroics. It's taken me so long because I got sidetracked playing my druid alt (I know, I'm ashamed), as well as having to start my hunter over because I hadn't been playing correctly and wanted to experience everything the "right" way. After Cataclysm comes out, I'll level Orleb up to 85 before gearing him up as best as possible without raiding. You see, I can only play occasionally and never during raid times so the best gear for me is through heroics and the like. After he's geared up, I'll try out raiding if I can adjust my schedule. If not, I'll just level my druid and then my priest. Also as for hitting the big mark, congrats. I started out reading Wow.com around six months ago and never miss a post now. As for the types of articles I like to read, I enjoy stuff on dungeons, leveling, soloing, and 10 guides, "best" guides, and gear guides. Also, yea the option to not be able to choose more than one option is really annoying, especially in the last poll. You should add an "everything above" choice to it. I'm sure it'll win out.
Breakfast Topic: The best class choice for new players {WoW}
Aug 8th 2010 10:37AM When I first started out World of Warcraft, it was last summer and I had tried it out because of an advertisement on a soda bottle we bought on our way home from a vacation on cruise. The advertisement said that I could get a 10 day free to play trial, so I decided why not. After getting my trial account installed, I decided to roll a Dwarven hunter as my first class because of the fact that I could tame my own pets and have them tank for me while I would attack from a distance. After I hit 20 and my free trial ended, I decided to make another free trial and try horde this time. So I rolled a Tauren druid. The forms were awesome! I only got him to level 18 though before my trial ended because my sister wished to try the game out for herself. Soon about two months later, I received the actual game with both expansion packs using the money I had been saving up. After installing it, I decided to continue on my 20 hunter. After he got up to 32, I deleted him as I didn't enjoy the direction I had taken him. So I started a whole new hunter. Fast forward a year later and you'll find that new hunter as my 80 main, gearing up for raids. You'll also find a 57 Night Elven druid which is my primary alt and a level 14 Human priest which is my secondary alt. So very happy with how my first class went and after Cataclysm comes out, I will make each class and try out each spec to find a new alt. This is after I get all three of my characters up to 85. So for me, even though my first class was a hunter which seemed pretty easy for me play (though I did do constant research on how to improve him), I recommend newcomers try out a druid and get them up to about 40, and then pick which role you seem to enjoy the most. Then you can either level that spec up to 80 or start a whole new class with that role you enjoyed. So yea that's what I think, but mostly follow your gut instinct as that's what I did and I'm perfectly happy with my choice after about a year.

Breakfast Topic: Soundtrack to my e-life {WoW}
Aug 6th 2010 10:28AM I love the music of Wow, specifically the songs in the capital cities. My favorite is the one from Stormwind. If I'm questing I'll turn up the volume just enough so that I can hear the music and not hear the annoying sound of my footsteps. But currently my headphones are broken so I have to get them fixed before I can listen to more awesome Wow music.

Aug 5th 2010 12:19PM Yea I agree with you, Michael the lyrics could have used some work. What I found most enjoyable about the video was not the music but the PvP instead as the mage totally demolished the horde easily (I'm Alliance).
Breakfast Topic: Hacked off by hackers {WoW}
Aug 5th 2010 11:33AM I was hacked two months ago when I responded to an email that I thought at that time came from Blizzard. The email said that I had been banned from the game for 3 hours because I had been abusing chat channels recently, which struck me as odd as I hadn't typed anything in chat channels in the last few weeks besides congratulations and looking in trade for people to craft stuff for me. So after attempting to log on and failing, I sent an email to Blizzard saying that they must have made a mistake. After Blizzard responds saying that they're positive that they had noticed me abusing chat channels, the truth of it hit me. You see, earlier that day, I had been playing when I kept getting disconnected; so I decided to wait until my connection improved. It must have been during that time that the hacker hacked me and used my characters to abuse chat channels, getting me banned for 3 hours so that I'd think I did something wrong and not suspect a hacker. Well I didn't know at that time that I had been hacked so I just assumed I had unwittingly been mean in chat. After the 3 hours passed, I logged back on and discovered my main's bags, bank, and character were empty. Ironically though, the hacker didn't touch my two low level but still pretty rich alts. After sending a report to Blizzard and receiving my items back after a few weeks, I installed an authenticator and changed my password. Since then, there have been no incidents of hacking whatsoever. That is until yesterday, when I attempted to log on and discovered I couldn't. After trying multiple times, I despaired that I had been hacked again. So I went to Battle.net and changed my password. After successfully logging back in, I breathed a sigh of relief and settled down to play.

Just Like my Favorite Cutoff Jeans
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are some of the most comfy shorts I have worn to date! They have tons of stretch so they will not restrict your life movements. They do fit short and sit above the knee for a modern fit. True to size and they come in tons of rad summer colors!
I am not a banana
Not never nude compatible
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Fits like a good casual walk short, not typical cutoffs. The cutoff is simply the style (frayed ends, which are sewn so they won't keep fraying). The colors are awesome, not too bright not too dull. The stretch twill is heavy duty but feels light when you're wearing it.

Thanksgiving break is right around the corner, and with it comes relaxation and lots and lots of food. But as soon as we come back from break it will be Finals mania! This is always around the time when I think about the advice my parents gave me before coming to school: that balance is key to a healthy lifestyle. With so many ways to get involved, a rigorous set of coursework, as well as fun social events popping up everyday, it can be very hard to balance it all! It has taken me the last two years to realize how I balance studying, working out, and hanging out with friends.
Here are some tips I've learned along the way:

Trying to understand the difference between aluminum spiral flex and steel spiral flex.
Is 3/8 inch aluminum flex suitable for stud notching applications? Is 3/8 inch steel flex suitable for stud notching applications? Is there a price difference? When would one be used versus the other? I am pretty sure aluminum flex was used in my kitchen. The studs were notched and the flex was put in, held in place with a bracket. How can I tell if it is aluminum or steel and does it even matter??? |
Follow-Up Postings:
3/8" flex is not generally permitted for branch circuit wiring. Are you sure that it is flex and not armored cable or metal clad cable? armored cable & MC Cable have conductors installed when the cable is manufactured. Flex is made empty and wires are installed in the field. So the answers are no, no, yes (very little), personal preference/availability, try a magnet, if it is 3/8" flex, its a violation. |
- Posted by plumeriavine_2010 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 23, 10 at 17:07
I am not sure of anything at this point. The walls were closed up without being inspected. The inspectors are noncomittal - they don't want to be responsible for telling the contractor to remove the backsplash and open the wall to see it. We had never seen stud notching before, so it made an impression on us. My husband had thought it was prewired, but, then, the whole kitchen was supposedly rewired with a different gauge of wire after inspections on 12/10. There was lots of rolls of wire everywhere - I am not sure what happened there. Is it possible to tell what the conduit/flex situation is if we remove a receptacle from the wall? Could metal clad cable be re-wired after the walls are closed up? |
Both MC cable and AC cable have a spiral armor and are available in steel or aluminum armor. The NEC makes no distinction between the metal used for the armor for residential applications. They all fall under the same installation rules and require metal plates in wood studs if they pass through a stud less than 1.25 inches from the face of the stud. A notch would require an approved metal plate at every stud. "There was lots of rolls of wire everywhere" Rolls of wire or rolls of cable? While they could have used flexible metal conduit and pulled wires after the conduit was installed, that would be an incredibly expensive way to install residential wiring. It might be best to let them finsih the work and leave. Do NOT pay any final bill. Hire an electrician and have them inspect, correct, and finish the job. You can deduct the costs of re-doing incorrect wiring from any bill the GC cares to tender. This type of thing is liable to devolve into a real fight, and even involve an attorney. It sounds like the AHJ is at beast asleep at the switch, and at worst incompetent or has been paid off. It might be time to talk to the head of the building inspectors. |
- Posted by plumeriavine (My Page) on Wed, Feb 24, 10 at 1:29
Thank you, again, for helping me see through the fog. Yes- rolls of cable - - sorry - - it all seems wire-like to a non-contractor like me. They did use the metal flex and they did seem to be rewiring it all - it took a few days and we are only talking about maybe a dozen outlets. |
- Posted by ronnatalie (My Page) on Wed, Feb 24, 10 at 6:05
It doesn't matter WHAT he has. It's not one of the listed conduit types. It must be covered with an 1/8" steel plate. I don't know what he has. He keeps saying strap or bracket. It has to be a 1/8" steel. Plumeria it looks like a piece of metal the width of the stud and perhaps 3" or so long right? |
The studs were notched and the flex was put in, held in place with a bracket. The bracket is not there to hold the flex in place. It would be a lot cheaper to just use a large staple. The bracket is to protect the flex where it passes thru the stud in the notch. Is conduit required in your area? New York, Chicago? |
"It must be covered with an 1/8" steel plate." 1/16 thick, but they are hardened. It is nearly impossible to drive a nail or screw through them, and even drilling is a tough job. |
- Posted by plumeriavine (My Page) on Wed, Feb 24, 10 at 9:36
Conduit isn't required AFAIK and they used Romex, to our protestations, in the laundry room. I just wish they had called an inspection so that I don't have to try to guess about it. If it had been real electricians who had built the run, I wouldn't be so worried, but I'd still want it inspected. Since the people who did it proved to be not reliable or skilled and were nothing more than "forces" of the GC, I am a nervous wreck. Maybe we can take away a small part of the backsplash, particularly where there had been a splice that we aren't sure was fixed, and see what lurks under there. If we take out the receptacle boxes, can we peer into the wall well enough to figure out what the runs are made of? |

Romex is fine. Removing a box from a wall (tiled, like yours) would be messy and difficult. |

From there, he developed into one of the greatest hitting catchers of all time. 2- Josh Hamilton. I know, lots of people will say his problems were self inflicted. I agree. But I did a lot of stupid stuff when I was 19. If someone gave me a few million dollars at age 19, I would likely be in jail or dead. He lost 5 years of his life/career to drugs and alcohol. He pulled himself out and worked his way into baseball again. To beat an addiction like that at all is incredible. To beat it and work your way into being a dominant major league hitter is something altogether different. And just because you made bad decisions when you were a kid doesn't mean you can't be an inspiration. In fact, he is an inspiration to me BECAUSE he made bad decisions, and refused to let those bad decisions define him. (Or his career) Both of these guys remind me that odds mean nothing. There is no substitute for hard work and desire. Anything is possible and these are my 2 favorite players because they are living proof. (Arian Foster for football for similar reasons. Undrafted FA that got put on the practice squad before he blew up!)
