Looks Great! Works Great! Love it!

I would recommend this clock to anyone. It is handsomely displayed outside in the backyard area and keeps great time. The only downside is the temps are displayed in Celsius and I only operate in Fahrenheit. I do have a larger temp display so that isn't a big issue for me. I wanted something for the time.

Identifying hazardous chemicals.
The operator must evaluate each chemical brought on mine property and each chemical produced on mine property to determine if it is hazardous as specified in Table 47.21 as follows:
Table 47.21--Identifying Hazardous Chemicals ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Basis for determining if a chemical Category is hazardous ------------------------------------------------------------------------ (a) Chemical brought to the mine.. The chemical is hazardous when its MSDS or container label indicates it is a physical or health hazard; or the operator may choose to evaluate the chemical using the criteria in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this table. (b) Chemical produced at the mine. The chemical is hazardous if any one of the following that it is a hazard: (1) Available evidence concerning its physical or health hazards. (2) MSHA standards in 30 CFR chapter I. (3) Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 29 CFR part 1910, subpart Z, Toxic and Hazardous Substances. (4) American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), Threshold Limit Values and Biological Exposure Indices (2001). (5) U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Toxicology Program (NTP), Ninth Annual Report on Carcinogens, January 2001. (6) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Monographs and related supplements, Volumes 1 through 77. (c) Mixture produced at the mine.. (1) If a mixture has been tested as a whole to determine its hazards, use the results of that testing. (2) If a mixture has not been tested as a whole to determine its hazards- - (i) Use available, scientifically valid evidence to determine its physical hazard potential; (ii) Assume that it presents the same health hazard as a non-carcinogenic component that makes up 1% or more (by weight or volume) of the mixture; and (iii) Assume that it presents a carcinogenic health hazard if a component considered carcinogenic by NTP or IARC makes up 0.1% or more (by weight or volume) of the mixture. (3) If evidence indicates that a component could be released from a mixture in a concentration that could present a health risk to miners, assume that the mixture presents the same hazard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 Moffat County residents charged with dumping on BLM land
Monday, June 24, 2013
Two Craig ranchers have been indicted by a federal grand jury for using public land in Moffat County as a private dumping ground.
The brothers, Leland Smith, 70, and Bradford Smith, 65, also were accused of digging trenches to divert water from Woodbury Gulch to land where they kept livestock.
In total, the brothers were charged with two counts of "committing crimes" on Bureau of Land Management land.
Jeff Dorschner, public affairs officer for the Department of Justice in Colorado, said they used heavy equipment to tear up ditches for dumping refuse.
"They diverted water, to create a ditch from a pond, to an area where they had a flock of sheep," Dorschner said.
Dorschner said this is an especially contentious issue during drought season.
"It can impact public land in ways that can't be foreseen," he said.
Moffat County Commissioner Tom Mathers said that this issue is between the BLM and the ranchers using the property.
"A lot of people have these properties for so long that it feels like their own," Mathers said. "I guess I'd question what they were dumping. Was it baling twine or manure?"
Dorschner said he could not release the details of what was dumped but just said it was "trash."
The brothers pleaded not guilty Monday to both charges and now are waiting for the judge to set a trial date.
If convicted, the brothers would have to pay as much as $500,000 in fines and each would face as many as years in prison.

Either way, Tom Mathers, the land DOES NOT belong to the Smith brothers. Yep, they use it as their own because they feel very entitled and folks are afraid of them. Bottom line - it IS NOT THEIRS. If you feel that "baling twine or manure" are of little consequence, then I guess you won't care if someone dumps some in your yard or the Mathers' Bar parking lot.
Allen Hischke 1 year, 7 months ago
Thats your commissioner for you. As long as you have lots of money and lots of land it doesn't matter waht you do, as long as no one does the same to you.
cory5611 1 year, 7 months ago
The Smith brothers have been doing this kind of stuff for a long time illegal hunting practices witch the get a slap on the wrist when they get busted for it the have posted public land privet and try and run people off the public lands and now it comes down to this dumping on public lands and diverting the water and then Tom Mathers says it depends on what they were dumping well Tom what if we showed up with dozers and started building pits on you land and start dumping there would it matter then I bet it would or if we Diverted all the water from your land to the public land does that matter then again I guess it does not bother you
jeff corriveau 1 year, 7 months ago
When will Tom Mathers learn to just keep his mouth shut? This doesn't even concern him nor Moffat County. Did he not learn anything from the last "FEW" times he shot his mouth off to the media. C'mon man!!!!

Cory5611, Privet is hello in Russian. Why can't they post a hello sign on public land?
Joanna Hatten 1 year, 7 months ago
Hey yamparob......why don't you back off your attack on ranchers. Just because these two idiots seem to think that they can do whatever they want doesn't mean all local ranchers behave that way. I have many friends that are farmers/ranchers and are probably the hardest working honest people I know......And they follow the rules. To lump them all into one category because of two jerks is idiotic. If you wanna bash the Smith brothers....whatever....but show a little respect for the others that are decent honest hardworking people. I assure you the Smiths DO NOT represent the values of all ranchers.
ruralmom 1 year, 7 months ago
I am a rancher and though I do not always agree with others, govt. or not, it comes down to the lack of respect for the land and the law. It is obvious these men are lacking in any type of morals and respect. This is a third case of a large ranching operation that has had their way for years. I would give the local BLM and DPW a bit of credit for just doing their jobs. I only wish it was a bigger deal of what the Smith's have done and damaged than who they are.
firstofthefallen 1 year, 6 months ago
It's really unfortunate that so many of these comments were deleted by the Daily Press. I read most of them before their removal and didn't find them to be offensive. I didn't necessarily agree with most of them but it sure is fun sometimes to read people bickering back and forth. When comments get removed it spoils the entertainment value. I know a lot of us come here for that.
David Moore 1 year, 6 months ago
Wow, what a housecleaning, never seen that much at one time, and, as would be typical, someone apparently got their wittle feewings huwt:( Awwwwww...... I agree with the above post, who comes here to actually talk serious? Well, once in a while I guess but entertainment, that's what it is all about.
GreyStone 1 year, 6 months ago
Smith brothers Nobody needs to be afraid of these two , they are not Ranchers, they are sheep herders, less than real Ranchers that's why they do and act the way they do….old history in Moffat County, no empathy for those around them.
Commissioner, Politician looking for handouts make ridiculous comments.

Help from over 350 saints: the souls best qualified to teach you to cope with life's troubles
Whatever you're struggling with, you're not alone: there's a saint who is not only praying for you before the throne of God, but who went through the same thing you're going through. In Saintly Solutions, Fr. Joseph Esper introduces you to over 350 saints who suffered in ways that you and I suffer every day, and who will bring you, too, to peace!
Fr. Esper considers over forty of life's common problems, showing how saints overcame these challenges and difficulties, and even grew holier as they did so. Better yet, he explains how you can, too.
In each chapter, Fr. Esper includes thought-provoking quotes from saints for further reflection, a practical section entitled "Something you might try," and solid recommendations for further reading. That makes Saintly Solutions immensely valuable for everyone who struggles with life's common problems and wants to face them with the unquenchable joy of the saints!
Here's help from the saints on:
Anger • anxiety • argumentativeness • boredom • broken friendships • business difficulties • conception and pregnancy difficulties • concern for departed loved ones • criticism • depression • distractions during prayer • distrust in God • doubts • drunkenness • envy • failure • false accusations • family difficulties • financial difficulties • gloominess • gluttony • gossip • greed • grief • guilt • illness • impatience • irritations • irreligious children • judgmentalness • loneliness • lust • marital problems • old age • pride • self-indulgence • spiritual dryness • tardiness • temptations • timidity and aggressiveness • uncertainty • unforgiveness • unpopularity • and much more!
"A truly useful compendium of practical wisdom from the most godly sources in the world. Reading this book is like entering a cathedral." Peter Kreeft Making Sense Out of Suffering
This is a fantastic book! Whatever problem you are struggling with, you will find an answer and help here. And if you just enjoy reading about the Saints, you will find this book excellent for that as well. Fr. Esper takes many different common problems and then shares which Saints also struggled with these problems or sins. He shares how they overcame the problem, and what other Saints also may have had to say. He shares relevant scripture and quotes from the Saints. He then provides an extremely helpful section called "What you might try" that offers concrete suggestions for conquoring sin and dealing with problems in a holy manner. This is a very complete and inspiring volume. I can't recommend it highly enough - it is wonderful!
I started reading it at a time when I knew there were serious flaws in my attitude, only I couldn't figure out exactly why, or what to do about them. I'm also poor at reading the Bible and other spiritual books. This book was exactly what I needed! Each day I would read about the worst problem I was having (starting with IRRITATION!), and the stories about the saints who faced those same problems were outstanding. It helped me immensely. The list of problems covered is also very well thought out and realistic. I hope to progress to reading books written by the saints, but reading Fr. Esper's excerpts was much easier for me at this time. One of the things I love most about this book is Fr. Esper's selection of topics: anger, depression, unpopularity, gluttony, and so many more ... how amazing to find a book with topics I can relate to so well! Some of my favorites thus far have been "irritations" and "gloominess." Lastly, I'm amazed that Fr. Esper is sufficiently acquainted with such a wide number of saints as to be able to quote so many of them on each of these somewhat obscure topics. What a treasure trove of education and inspiration! This has truly helped me more than years of therapy!

After a two-year wait, Samsung takes the wraps off a handset significantly scaled back from original ambitions.
The Korean electronics giant released an update to change the operating system on its first smartwatch, but it can't do the same for its televisions, a Samsung executive tells CNET. Owners of some 2014 sets will be able to buy "Evolution Kits" to change to the new software.
At CES 2015, Samsung reveals its SUHD TV running its new smart OS Tizen.
The new operating system will power all 2015 Samsung Smart TVs with an all-new, easier to use interface and faster response times.
Samsung's all-new Tizen operating system, which boasts faster response times and a simpler interface, will appear on all 2015 Samsung Smart TVs.
The Korean electronics giant's software has flopped in phones, but Samsung hopes TVs -- launching at 2015 CES -- will finally make Tizen mainstream.
The company still has ambitions for its operating system, despite Tizen's rocky history.
Meanwhile, Samsung is gearing up for a keynote speech at the show, where it will likely talk up smart homes and the Internet of Things.
The Korean electronics giant is shifting gears again with its troubled mobile operating system. It's now aiming for affordability as a key characteristic of Tizen smartphones.
It may not run Android, but this handset has Samsung written all over it.

Mt house has a very small coat closet by the front door - a little less than 3' wide. With 4 of us, it is beyond tight. All we store in there is coats, hats and gloves. I have a shoe sorter on the back of the door for gloves and hats. The problem is the coats. The pole is stuffed and they are all coats we actually wear. We all have one each: rain coat, casual light coat, wool dress coat, heavier winter jacket, and ski jacket/parka. I don't even keep the ski pants there anymore. The pants are kept in each bag with the skis.
This closet really bugs me. I have purged all coats that don't get worn and its still a problem. I need some ideas to help! |

Store the out of season coats elsewhere. |
Do you need the ski jackets and parkas at the moment? They take up a lot of room. Suggest you get yourself a good decorative blanket box, and store them in that. if you have room put blanket box at foot of a bed, or use as a window seat. Failing that, you need to pack them in a suitcase and put them in a loft or garage. |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Mon, Nov 19, 12 at 12:27
Which coats are worn the least - wool dress coats? Move them to a different area. The ski parkas can probably "live" folded up in a gym bag with the ski gloves, goggles and other gear. Unless you live where you wear the parkas daily. |
I suppose you could store your coats as DH wants to store his.......over the back of dining room chairs. There are 3 there now. It's 5 feet to a coat closet that has nothing hanging there....... grrrrrr Barbara |
- Posted by adellabedella (My Page) on Mon, Nov 19, 12 at 17:30
Do you have a place on the wall where you can hang one or two of the hook coat racks? I've done that and it has helped minimze the problem. I'm the worst offender. I have a warm coat, jackets and hoodies for outside excercise and walking the dog, and then my nice looking jackets for when I go out in public. |
Barbara I am laughing be quad my sons pile coats 3 deep on the back of the DR chairs. I have threatened to just put hooks on the DR wall. We actually wear the ski jackets a lot more than just the once a week skiing. The weather in Ohio varies to the extreme. I the same week we could wear a hoodie, medium wool coat and a parka. And rain coats are used a lot, too. |

Hi, Mommabird Our house was built in 1938. My BR closet is only 3 feet wide. Same size in the other BR, which DH uses for his clothes. No coat closet on the first floor, so we added a big one when we finished the basement. All of the coats, jackets, boots, hats, gloves, scarves, everything goes in that closet. In the morning, we run down for a coat, and hang it up in the evening. |

The transition seasons are hardest, aren't they? But I would say either store only TWO coats (a lightish one for whichever season you have, and a heavier one for that season) in that closet. At the very least, I would say that wool dress coats should go in the bedrooms; they're probably not used daily. And when you want them (dress-up days), you'll be willing to go get them, probably. (And if you're not, then maybe you don't really need to own them--I do not ever buy my kids, or me, dress coats.) And rain coats can go in the closets, because if you need them, you'll REALLY need them, and you'll be willing to go there to get them. And you probably don't use them *that* often. Or, start storing ALL coats in the bedrooms. At the very least, perhaps you can train yourself to travel all the way into your bedroom before you take your coat off; then it's just the 2 boys. (I bought a Lands End Squall, bcs it's light AND heavy.) |
I am so lucky. When we bought our house in 1981, it came with a huge cedar closet in the basement, perfect for out of season clothing storage. I occasionally refresh the cedar walls with some sanding or cedar oil spray. |
Here is what I have come up with - kind of a hybrid of all your great suggestions. There are 2 closets in my room, both about 4' wide. I use one for my clothes and used the other for storage. I cleaned out the storage closet and donated almost all the contents to Goodwill. I am now hanging all my coats plus the boys' ski jackets in that closet. That frees up the coat closet for the boys' other coats. My room is on the first floor so this is working out well. I knew the boys wouldn't carry their coats upstairs - they'd end up on the back if the dining room chairs. It felt great to clean out that closet! About 1/2 of the stuff in it was simply trash, the other 1/2 was worth donating. |
- Posted by talley_sue_nyc (My Page) on Sun, Nov 25, 12 at 21:22
hooray! a nice move. |
could you use space savers bags for the large ski coats, --suck the air out of them and store at the bottom or top shelf of the closet? |

The Making Of: The Black Onyx
Henk Rogers arrived in Japan in 1976, young, jobless and hot on the tail of a girl. Within eight years he'd have written, designed and coded his first videogame, sold Japan a genre that would go on to dominate its videogame industry creating billions of dollars of worldwide revenue, and, naturally, made the girl his wife. In 12 years, he would discover a game called Tetris at a Las Vegas game show, and would travel to Russia with Nintendo to secure the exclusive rights to market it on consoles. For a man whose only experience of coding was working on mainframe computers as a student and whose only brush with gaming was in pencil-and-paper roleplaying, starting out was no mean feat.

Dr. Barry Sears is one of the leading experts in the world on anti-inflammatory nutrition and cellular inflammation. The primary cause of increased cellular inflammation is the diet, and it can be reduced by an anti-inflammatory diet like the Zone Diet.
If the level of cellular inflammation is high, the body begins attacking itself. If it is too low, then your body can't fight off microbial invaders effectively. You need to keep the body's level of cellular inflammation in a zone. Elevated levels of cellular inflammation are the underlying cause of why we gain weight, develop chronic disease, and age at a faster rate.
Taking a simple finger prick blood test is the only way to know if you have high levels of cellular inflammation. If you do, there are several dietary interventions that can rapidly reduce its levels and maintain it in an appropriate zone for optimal wellness.

LXI is an instrumentation platform based on industry standard Ethernet technology designed to provide modularity, flexibility and performance to small- and medium-sized systems. LXI's compact, flexible package, high-speed I/O and reliable measurements meet the needs of R&D and manufacturing engineers delivering electronics for the aerospace/defense, automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer electronics markets.
The LXI standard defines small, modular instruments using low-cost, open-standard LAN (Ethernet) as the system backbone. LXI was developed to offer the size and integration advantages of modular instruments without the constraints and cost and constraints of card-cage architectures. The standard will evolve to take advantage of current and future LAN capabilities that go well beyond legacy T&M connectivity capabilities.
LXI modules nominally have no front panel or display, using the host PC and Ethernet connections to present setup and results. DUT connectivity is reserved for the front of the module, with line power and Ethernet IO (RJ-45) on the rear panel. LXI modules feature self-contained power supplies to improve reliability, lower costs, and to enable widely distributed system architectures. Measurement IP may reside on the module, in the PC, or both and the LXI standard encourages seamless software migration between rack and stack instruments and LXI modules, where applicable, to preserve user software investments.
Customer reaction to LXI, particularly from systems integrators, has been overwhelmingly positive.
Extensive customer research showed customers want to reduce set-up and integration time by connecting directly to the standard ports on their PC. They don't like specialized cards and cables, they hate expensive Slot 0 controllers, and they expect software and drivers that simplify test system set-up. They prefer small footprints for deployed systems, yet they like full-featured instruments for development and troubleshooting. They told us they want the capability of their favorite instruments packaged in a small, easy to integrate format.
Military customers asked for synthetic instruments that feature state-of-the-art microwave performance. Some previous implementations simply did not have the board space to create high performance instruments, forcing integrators to use both card-cage and stand-alone architectures in their systems, eliminating expected size savings.
In response to requests for PC-standard IO, several T&M suppliers began requiring LAN and USB ports on all new instruments. This proved enormously popular. The LXI standard takes industry-standard IO one step further by removing front panels, displays, and expansion cards to shrink the physical size for deployed systems. Now, customers with limited floor space or complex logistics needs can get state-of-the-art performance in small packages. LXI offers a significantly smaller form factor, simple low-cost PC-standard IO, and easy rack mounting with no card-cage, yet maintains linkages with full-featured instruments for development and troubleshooting.
Ethernet is the logical choice. PC-standard technologies offer clear advantages to instrument applications, as the PC industry employs far more engineers than the test industry to develop, improve, and cut costs on PC-standard technologies. It simply makes sense to stick to PC-standard technologies where possible and focus test engineering resources on what they do best, make great measurements.
Ethernet is by far the most widely accepted communications interface in use today; nearly every computer is manufactured with an integrated Ethernet interface and networking hardware is becoming increasingly inexpensive. Ethernet speeds have increased three orders of magnitude in the past fifteen years, yet backward compatibility is preserved; GPIB and MXI have not matched this feat. Further, many of the attributes that make Ethernet so popular to the computer industry are also attractive to the instrumentation community, yet instrument IO standards like MXI and GPIB have not kept pace. Rather than replicate what the Ethernet community has developed, it makes far more sense to leverage Ethernet engineering.
Technical advantages such as TCP/IP error checking and fault detection, long inter-device connectivity, and peer-to-peer communications clearly exceed the limitations of parallel bus and other serial based interfaces. The TCP/IP stack provides error detection and correction that will typically not interfere with throughput rates, especially when a dedicated test system network is used. Furthermore, Ethernet connections can span 100 meters point-to-point, encompass a radius of 200 meters with the use of a hub, switch, or router, or extend to thousands of kilometers if fiber interfaces are used.
Some advantages of Ethernet include:
The short answer is no. To ensure interoperability among suppliers, standards must define what LXI is and is not. Failure to adhere to the specifications will result in poor interoperability and user frustration.
The LXI standard strives for simplicity. It relies heavily on industry-standard definitions such as 802.3, IVI, IEEE 1588, etc. While these go a long way toward ensuring interoperability, there are many instrument-specific requirements that must be addressed before Ethernet based devices can be accepted as the next generation platform for modular instruments. Some of these include:
The most challenging aspects of LXI implementation involve instrument synchronization and timing, test network architecture, and software interoperability. The LXI specification outlines different implementation approaches to address these issues.
The LXI Consortium will develop detailed technical specifications over the coming months.
The LXI Consortium is open to any company interested in expanding LAN-based instrument capabilities. We have several levels of participation, so most companies should find a level that fits their interests and budget.
To ensure interoperability and a consistent user experience, LXI is a trademarked brand that may only be used by Consortium members.
From a measurement perspective, LXI and rack and stack instruments are identical. They use the same measurement science, boast the same specs, and offer the same features, and run the same software.
The difference is in how it is packaged. Standard rack and stack instruments are designed to be used standalone (without a PC) from their user-friendly front panels. By removing handles, bumpers and feet these same instruments can be mounted into a rack and run with a PC. LXI modules, on the other hand, are controlled with a PC and mounted into a test system. They do not have a front panel so they have all the signal connections on the front and all the power and communications signals on the back. They are optimized to run over high-speed LAN.
LXI offers some advantages not found in rack-and-stack instruments. By using LAN, LXI supports peer-to-peer operation, which opens the door for synthetic instruments and simultaneous operation, speeding measurements, reducing redundancy, and driving cost savings.
The test industry learned a few things from VXI, PXI, and MMS, and we applied these lessons to LXI. Since modular instruments represent a subset of the overall test equipment market, making specialized modular instruments can be expensive and inefficient. Inevitably, the industry wants the capabilities and price of high volume instruments, yet low volumes make that impossible. Rigid footprints often require custom-engineered instruments that have little in common with rack-and-stack counterparts, leaving little room for leverage. Development costs are spread across a small base and unique supply chain footprints fail to generate scale economies. We saw this with VXI scopes that cost many times more than their rack and stack counterparts because the VXI products were essentially custom engineered products, sharing few parts with their rack/stack counterparts. In the case of LXI, the boards and software are identical to the rack/stack versions, giving customers the same performance, software, and costs they get in high-volume rack/stack versions. The result is greater product availability, improved compatibility with full-featured bench instruments, and generally lower costs.
LXI complements system-ready instruments. System-ready instruments are designed to be open -- used either on the bench with their user-friendly front panel or in the test system via its standard GPIB, LAN, and USB communication ports.
LXI products are small faceless modules for use in an automated test system, with the PC providing the user interface, typically through a web interface. They provide the same performance and may be a subset of the functionality found in full-featured system-ready instruments. Some LXI modules will be lower cost than system-ready instruments, because of less functionality, but in some cases, like synthetic instruments, the modules may be more expensive because of the benefits and capabilities they provide over traditional instruments.
Since LXI is an implementation vehicle for building synthetic instruments, we view synthetic instruments as a subset of LXI.
Synthetic instruments are traditional instruments broken into fundamental building blocks (digitizer, arb, up-converter, down-converter, etc.) and PC software to aggregate and "synthesize" different measurement tasks. The blocks can be used in different combinations to make different kinds of measurements, where the blocks are often dynamically re-configured to perform different measurement tasks at different times. An example may be an RF downconverter that is used for spectral measurements for one test sequence then gets redeployed to make network analyzer measurements in another test sequence; rather than having similar downconverters in stand-alone instruments, where one sits idle most of the time, the synthetic downconverter sees double-duty, saving cost, size, and logistics footprint.
Synthetic instrument building blocks can be any modular format. LXI uses low-cost LAN as the backplane on which to build and connect these functional blocks. Some LXI modules will be self-contained instruments while others will be functional building blocks, depending upon the application. Therefore, synthetic instruments may be in the form of LXI modules but not all LXI modules will be synthetic instruments—some may be complete instruments. LXI offers this flexibility.
Back to top
The LXI Consortium is a not-for-profit (501c3) corporation made up of leading companies in the Test and Measurement Industry. The group's goal is to ensure interoperability and a consistent user experience by developing, supporting, and promoting the LXI standard. Since announcement in September 2004, many companies have expressed support for a LAN-based T&M standard. Please see the Company Directory for the latest list of members.
LXI is based on LAN and LAN has 1000's of suppliers and millions of users. Unlike the PC that keeps changing -- ISA to EISA to PCI to cPCI to PCI-X to PCI Express-- LAN continues to get better, increasing its bandwidth three orders of magnitude from 10 Mb/s to 10Gb/s.
Within test and measurement, many leading suppliers already provide LAN-based instruments. Customers are very excited about LAN, and they seek seamless interoperability between vendors. LXI is the next logical step to provide a more modular format and software standards for the test system.
Many LAN-based products available today are based upon vanilla Ethernet implementations, often simply replacing GPIB with CAT5. They do not address instrumentation-specific issues such as synchronization and timing, nor do they bring many of the latest Ethernet capabilities such as DHCP, SNMP, UPnP, etc. to the instrumentation world. LXI will support IEEE 1588, specifically designed to ensure accurate device triggering and phase relationships.
LXI will complement PXI to support the quality measurements needed for electronic test. We anticipate LXI frames that will accommodate PXI modules, making all PXI modules available in LXI and allowing users to build systems one module at a time, free from card-cage constraints.
VXI continues to get investment for applications that require the high-speed and high-density benefits this architecture delivers. We've found VXI works well in aerospace-defense, automotive, high-speed digital, and telecom applications where tight inter-module linkages and high channel count are critical. But as noted above, this capability comes at a steep price premium. For general-purpose instruments, and in small to medium size applications, most customers prefer to use rack & stack because they offer a manual user interface and display, they are lower cost for equivalent capability, and they offer the flexibility to use the same instrument on both the bench and in the rack.
LXI leverages and builds upon some of VXI's most attractive features. It brings the advantages of computer independence and a modular architecture (small form factor and high-speed communications) without the overhead of a cardcage and proprietary link to the PC. With LXI, each module is self-contained, requires no start-up decisions, and can be added without penalty as needed.
LXI allows suppliers to leverage designs from system ready instruments into a form factor that better suits the needs of the test system engineer. With VXI, suppliers often developed products twice—once with a GPIB interface and once with a VXI interface. LXI allows them to develop a product once with a standard LAN-based interface, allowing suppliers to leverage hundreds of $M in development dollars each year
LXI will be triggered like traditional GPIB instruments, where users can send a trigger over the Trigger Bus to start a measurement from an external event. The LXI Trigger Bus interface follows traditional triggering paradigms, allowing LXI to seamlessly synchronize with other architectures such as VXIbus devices. The LXI Trigger Bus implementation is defined around a high-speed differential LVDS interface.
LXI will also implement IEEE 1588 Precision Timing Protocol (PTP), giving users triggering directly over the LAN, simplifying cabling. This standard was developed for sub-microsecond synchronization of LAN-based devices anywhere in the world and work is well underway to achieve very low nano-second timing between modules. PTP is ideally suited to large channel count, distributed measurement applications like jet engines, generators, antenna ranges, or process plants. See the NIST IEEE 1588 web site for more information.
Additionally, the LXI specification will adopt the Trigger Bus interface to address the seamless synchronization of LXI instruments with other architectures such as VXIbus devices. The LXI Trigger Bus implementation is defined around a high-speed differential LVDS interface.
As with any LAN environment, traffic management can impact timing. Collisions are not an issue when using switches, although without priority, you can still get stuck in queues; for example, a message may get stuck behind a very large message and even with priority, it will continue to trail the long message in subsequent queues.
The question assumes that all actions are triggered by receipt of a message. If test sequences or other actions can be defined ahead of time and stored as scripts in the executing device, then IEEE 1588 PTP allows these scripts to execute without message delays and retain sync across multiple instruments. The scripts contain action/execution time specifications either absolute or relative to some 'start' time which is then the only message that needs to go over the LAN at run time. Time based execution reduces control traffic on the communication media by replacing much of the run time traffic with configuration traffic prior to execution when the latency issue is not present.
Even if a 'start' message or its equivalent needs to go over the LAN, latency can be overcome with circular time stamped buffers in all acquisition measurements (like a distributed logic analyzer). It is only when an action changes, as opposed to measures, the DUT that latency becomes a concern, and then only if the execution time is truly impossible to pre-compute or bound. Even here there will be a fraction of the cases where the action can be rolled back if it is later determined that it was inappropriate.
Further, 'arming' and 'triggering' functions can avoid much of the OS latency. Of course you would also need to control the switch environment. Also, there are new technologies like RDMA (requires special NIC HW) that are designed to "short circuit" the TCP stack latency and yield latencies around 40us or less. RDMA is just emerging and to this point has been focused on tasks like SCSI transport.
We have measured "raw socket round trip" latencies between two 3GHz class PCs with Gb NIC HW known to have good latency characteristics (but no RDMA support) below 70us. We expect, over time, Moore's Law will help here as fast processors and GB LAN become more common.
Some leading edge work underway has demonstrated low ns synchronization latencies.
The LXI Consortium includes some major PXI players. LXI will complement PXI for customers that need more accuracy, resolution, bandwidth, and functionality than is possible in PXI. Since LXI leverages technology from rack/stack, it offers cutting edge performance not normally found in modular formats. LXI is a solution aimed at customers performing automated tests on electronic devices, while PXI is a better solution for many lower-end data acquisition applications.
The LXI Consortium looked at the ubiquity and low cost of LAN. LXI does not require special cards or cables since every PC now comes standard with LAN. LAN-based LXI supports synthetic instruments and peer-to-peer networking, enabling some unique capabilities not presently available to the test engineer in any format.
The most recent version of the LXI Standard is LXI Device Specification 2011, Rev. 1.4 (Released May 18, 2011), and it is available for view/download at http://lxistandard.org/Specifications/Specifications.aspx. Older versions of the specifications are located at http://lxistandard.org/Specifications/OlderSpecifications.aspx.

Totem Talk: The state of Telluric Currents and speculating for Mists {WoW}
Mar 28th 2012 4:49AM TC is the reason I leveled my shaman. Most healers benefit from idling, while for a Resto Shaman, there is always something to do, which makes all the difference in how you heal.
I'm also using (and loving) Focused Insight. great filler when you have to move and the healing gap from not being able to (let's face it) chain heal is filled by buffing the very first one you throw when you stop moving or even just to buff that next Healing Rain.
It's true that Shaman healing can be a bit hard compared to the others, but I don't feel I'm healing less effectively than other classes (mind you I switched to resto in december, only had limited experience with it before DS).

I made a watermelon wheat (WW) recently, poor efficiency so I boiled down to get close to my .054, Once it was done ferming I had 3.5 gallons, so I put in a keg(cold crashed prior to moving) on top of watermelon juice. Issue: I put my normal 1 gallon of wah-wah juice in and now it is like a sweet wah wah wine! 4th july party in a week and I gotta get some flavor out. Question 1: it is carbed up now, can I let it warm, bleed off co2 and hope it kicks in again, maybe get 3-4 days of ferming to eat some of that juice? Q2: Could i repitch a champagne yeast and help it burn some off, then cold crash and carb, or am I basically screwed because it already is holding co2 in suspension? Q3: maybe dry hop or add lime juice to cut the sweetness? Any and all help is appreciated Thanks
I suggest getting it really really cold then drinking it handstand style...seriously tho..try getting it to room temp and pitching some champagne or white wine yeast
something about a silk purse and a sow's ear....
So you want to warm, uncarb, referment, chill and recarb all in a week? I'd suggest picking up some brew, a week is really short time to fit all that in.

Today we have published our latest report, Traffic Spies, highlighting how hundreds of councils have turned to static CCTV cameras and spy cars to raise £312m in revenue.
Many councils are continuing to use CCTV to hand out fines, despite the government publishing a Surveillance Camera Code of Practice highlighting the need to use CCTV for traffic offences "sparingly", this research highlights that the number of CCTV cars in operation in the UK has increased by 87% since 2009.
The question must therefore be asked, if CCTV cameras are about public safety, why are local authorities able to use them to raise revenue? Furthermore, why are local authorities publishing no meaningful information about their use of CCTV for parking enforcement? Read more

These Baked Chicken Fingers are so different from the processed, deep fried kind that it's hard to imagine that they taste better, but they do. Breading the outside of the white meat keeps them moist, even when baked, and the curry is a nice addition.
As with any restaurant knock-off, they take a little time to prepare, but you can make a big batch and freeze them for later. We use them, sliced, on top of salad or dipped in peanut or teriyaki sauce. The mango catchup they included in the recipe works great, too.
Our recipe is a little different than the one in Shape Magazine. Rick likes coconut, so we threw in some of that, and omitted the brown sugar with very little problem.
Baked Chicken Fingers
1 1/2 c. crushed corn flakes
1/2 c. dried, shredded, unsweetened coconut
Dash salt
Ground black pepper
1 tsp. curry powder
1 tablespoons olive or canola oil
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1 - 2 eggs, beaten
1 to 2 pounds chicken breast tenders or boneless breasts, cut into 1–inch strips
Note: I am always vague on the amount of salt, because many people are on sodium restricted diet. Adding salt isn't always necessary, for instance, the corn flakes already have salt added and the curry powder and black pepper add a lot of flavor. Also, I use the crushed Kellogg's corn flake crumbs you can buy at the store. They have some added sugar, but not a lot (3 grams per 6 tablespoons).
Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix together cereal, coconut, salt and pepper, curry powder and oil.
Arrange three shallow containers, one with the brown rice flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the crumb mixture.
Individually dip chicken tenders into flour, then eggs (letting excess run off), then breading mixture.
Place the chicken fingers on a cake rack to dry for about 15 minutes while you finish the rest. Arrange breaded chicken pieces on the cookie sheet.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, or until crisp and brown all over.
Serve while hot, cool and freeze the leftovers (they don't stick together in the bag).

Dyson DC28: But it was the Dyson DC28 that bested the competition, vacuuming up the flour in a mere 15 seconds, after barely a single pass. Still, lowering the vacuum took more time than the DC25 did, since the user needs to hold the base down with his foot while pulling the rest of the vacuum back.
Winner: The Dyson DC28
We tested the suction speed of the hose, timing how long it would take the hose (without any tools attached) to vacuum up a fixed amount of flour from a carpet.Dyson DC25: The Dyson DC25 took 22 seconds to clean the flour.
Dyson DC28: The Dyson DC28 vacuumed up the same amount of flour in 19 seconds.
Winner: Tie. For suction speed, there was little noticeable difference between the three models, and all models boasted a concentration of power to the hose when in use.
We performed the same power test as before, only this time on hardwood. We sucked up a fixed amount of flour with each model, and saw which vacuum could clean the hardwood fastest.Dyson DC25: The Dyson DC25 took 43 seconds to vacuum up the flour pile, with no remnants of flour left on the hardwood. However, the flat front of the DC25 pushed the flour forward on the flooring, requiring the vacuum to be lifted over the top of the flour pile to fully clean the wood.
Dyson DC28: Once again, the Dyson DC28 offered a more efficient clean, taking only 29 seconds to vacuum up the same amount of flour, and leaving absolutely no remnants behind. However, when removing the vacuum from the testing surface, some flour did spill out of the base.
Winner: Dyson DC28
We played vacuum limbo to see which model could go under a shorter table by measuring the maximum height on the vacuum, when the vacuum is in the lowest downright position while still keeping the base fully on the floor. We then measured the width of each vacuums cleaning patha narrow width is easy to fit into nooks and crannies.Dyson DC25: The Dyson DC25 measured in at 20 inches at the highest point when playing vacuum limbo. However, the DC25 has the most compact design with the smallest dust cup as well as the smallest cleaning path width: 11 inches.
Dyson DC28: The Dyson DC28 had a maximum height of 22 inches when in its lowest downright position, and has a cleaning path width of 13.5 inches.
Winner: Dyson DC25 While the AirSpeed does go the lowest of the three, its bulky design will get in the way when vacuuming under hard-to-reach places. We preferred the easily maneuverable DC25 with its compact shape and small cleaning-path width for tight spaces. However, this narrow path could mean that open spaces take longer to clean.
Sometimes, you get what you pay for. The most expensive vacuum in our test also proved to be the most powerful, with the luxury-priced Dyson DC28 coming out tops, and the DC25 coming in second. Still, at around $120, its hard to argue with the Eureka Airspeed when it comes to price, and for budget-minded users, this may be the best purchase.

I was wondering what you guys use as a tachometer to check small engine RPM's. I have both 2 cycle (Lawnboy) and multiple 4 cycle (snow blower, chipper shredder, pressure washer) machines and I am just looking for something cheap that I can use to check my engine speeds. The old dwell/tach meters that the sold for cars don't work do they? Thanks - and apologies for the stupid question Eric |
Follow-Up Postings:
It certainly is not a stupid question. Briggs and Stratton has an inexpensive vibra tach that is reasonably accurate. Hold it against the engine and rotate the dial until the wire reaches it's widest sweep. It is difficult to work with on hand held equipment though, you need four hands. The digital impulse tachs are great but not cheap. |
I agree with canguy, I have and use a Vibra-tech also. They are a simple tach that operate off of engine vibration and I believe that they are plenty accurate for small engine work. Tecumseh sells the same unit for less than Briggs does, both are the same unit that is made in Germany. They are quick and easy to use, I got mine from www.RCPW.com the part Number is Tecumseh 670156 and cost me $11.62 back in 8/05. If you want to call them their name is: Sohars All Season Mower Serv. Macedonia, Ohio Phone # 330-467-1332 Good luck! |

Thunderous celebration at Mac High

Mac High has been holding graduations outdoors (weather permitting) since at least '65 (mine). The '75 graduation was also held @ Linfield.
The Linfield event was the site of possibly the first attempt at streaking the graduation -- two seniors, wearing only boots and helmets, attempted to ride motorcycles between the the seated graduates, but the lead bike failed to negotiate the broad jump lane and flipped over. The trailing bike immediately turned around and 'got out of Dodge'. The crashed rider finally started his bike after many, many attempts. He was last seen laying the bike down near the baseball field and running down S. Davis. Stupid human tricks -- comedy in it's purest form.
It's truly a shame that the age of video in every hand wasn't available, because any video of this would have set records on You Tube.
Thanks for providing a more complete history of outdoor generations. I know there's been a few inside here and there -- I remember photographing one in the '80s so photographer Tom Ballard could relax and watch one of his kids graduate. It was hot, stuffy and super-crowded, even back then.
If you go to numerous graduations around Yamhill County, as reporter Paul Daquilante and I do, you'll know that almost all are held outside these days. Amity continued holding theirs in the gym until quite recently, but now it's held in the fresh air as well.
My own high school graduation was June 4, 1978, in the Reedsport High School gym -- 100 Braves heading out to conquer the world. Linfield was the first place I experienced an outdoor graduation.
The indoctrination of our schools, already happend. Either told lies, or half the story, or even just plain wrong answers. purposely to dumb us down...
Any reason they put extra fluoride in the water system at the school?

Having arthritis myself, I completely empathize with you. I take my cane just in case on any trip. I'm so bull headed anyway that I hate taking the cane anyway, so for me, a wheelchair would be worse. I just wouldn't use it.
But I use my cane sometimes when pain is just too much. In WDW, I'd really advise a wheelchair for back pain. WDW is huge and it's a lot of walking. Wear very comfortable shoes for you.
Benefits of wheelchair would have to be mobility, comfort, and overall enjoyment of your experience.
Cons to a wheelchair is grumpy people who don't know why you need a wheelchair so they think you're just lazy, getting the thing on and off busses, finding parking for it if you choose to stand and wait in queue.
I don't know what exactly it takes to get a wheelchair, but I'd imagine it'd be a quick trip to City Hall or a phone call before you go.

Founder and Percussionist

Artist's Biography
TOM KRAMER Bio:A native New Yorker without the accent, Tom's creative career began in 1994 when his play, CAVIAR AND CRUMBCAKE, was selected for a reading at the now defunct Circle Rep. Tom wishes to point out that 'Crumbcake' had nothing to do with the closing of the company.
In 1995, he was selected as one of three playwrights into the prestigious Playwrights Horizons Theatre Workshop, where three one-act plays of his were produced: PAINFULLY EMPLOYED, HEADSHOTS, and DIM BULBS. PAINFULLY EMPLOYED went on to receive a full production at the Harold Clurman Theatre where it launched the 1995 Playwrights Horizons Winterfest and later in '95 it was voted the 15th best short play in the United States by Writer`s Digest. PAINFULLY EMPLOYED has since been produced at the 76th Street Theatre and the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City.
CAVIAR AND CRUMBCAKE enjoyed a successful run at the 2000 Ensemble Studio Theater Summer Conference while his two-act comedy, DEATH WARMED OVER appeared at The Neighborhood Playhouse in 2001. His one-act hit, CRIME COACHING, 101 was performed at the 1999 Ensemble Studio Theater Octoberfest, while his one-act comedy, MISS PRISM'S ACTING SCHOOL FOR WRESTLERS appeared at the Neighborhood Playhouse in 1999 as well.
In front of the camera, Kramer has appeared as a principal performer or spokesman in numerous national TV commercials ranging from the Liquid Plumr man, to the Total Cereal man, to a Miller Beer man. He has also lent his voice to various voice-over spots, and hopes to get said voice back one of these days.
In addition to working as an actor, dramatist and columnist, he has researched and written for the award-winning PBS series, NATURE. Subjects included: Cats, bats and horses. To this day, he's allergic to two and still scared of one.
Having traded in his black, New York City writer's garb for the softer shades of a California resident, Tom is also a humorist in the religious world under the pseudonym, THE RELIGIOUS RASCAL® and still contributes articles to religious publications whenever he's feeling guilty.
Musically and more importantly, Kramer is the founder and percussionist of the musical comedic group, PAINFULLY EMPLOYED®.
His days as a musician took full flight in 1998, when he was accepted into New York City's, The Drummers Collective as a percussionist. He formed PAINFULLY EMPLOYED® later that same year.
Tom is extremely proud and thankful to be a part of the Conn-Selmer/Ludwig family of musicians.

The Ecotagnes, an impressive 100% eco-friendly treehouse-style cabin elevated 9 feet above the ground and surrounded by nothing but nature, is located in Haute-Savoie, a region of eastern France that borders both Italy and Switzerland and in the Alps. The lodge is a brainchild of a father and son team, Patrick and Hugo Genand, who serve as hosts at the destination.
Ecotagnes is available for rent in the summer or the winter, and offers to facilitate a variety of activities including hiking, water sports such as wake boarding and scuba diving, mountain biking and of course, skiing and snowboarding. The cozy "hut" is heated by a real fireplace and offers no "modern" luxuries in an attempt to reflect the "pioneer spirit." There is also a chalet available for rent that is a part of the property.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Female 2!
Facts about Female 2
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Shiba Inu Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Female 2's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This little girl is about 6 months old, she needs to trust she won't be hurt, she is a lovely girl who wants to learn how to be part of a family. She is learning how to be a family pet and doing a wonderful job at it! She strives for human affection.
Other Pets at Somewhere Over the Rainbow Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Female 2, a Grand Rapids Labrador Retriever/Shiba Inu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Shiba Inu for sale in Grand Rapids, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Shiba Inu dog from a breeder in Grand Rapids.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Grand Rapids already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Grand Rapids breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Shiba Inu breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Shiba Inu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Grand Rapids paves the way for another one to be saved.

Flower bud looks like a dicentra? I need to know whether to pull (invasive) or to let it spread. It came out of nowhere and in great numbers! Second pic is a blurry pic of its bud...strange shape! Thanks for any input! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Looks like a white form of Lamprocapnos spectabilis. Not native but not invasive either. |
Thank-you lycopus and elly! A bit confused...did Lamprocapnos used to be in the Dicentra genus? It is Lamprocapnos...flowers look like bleeding heart BUT it doesn't have the fern-like leaves of the true dicentra...I think that's what threw me :) ....and one more ? how did it get to me? Do squirrels/deer/birds eat the seeds? I am surrounded by woods...can't see my nearest neighbor, and this stuff didn't exactly choose the shadiest place to grow...but it looks ok...weird...I thought it needed to be in shade to grow! |
Yes, it used to be called Dicentra spectabilis. It's not the same plant as Dicentra formosa or D. eximia, which as you noticed have more finely dissected leaves. Not sure how it got there but it is naturalized in many parts of North America. |

Here's a quick guide for those who aren't in court everyday:
Sustained: When an objection is sustained, the judge has determined that is a valid objection. That means the question was improper under the rules of evidence. The witness may not answer the question. (If the witness answers anyway, that answer may be "stricken.")
An easy way to remember this is Sustained = Stop, as in the witness must stop and not answer the lawyer's prior question.
Overruled: When an objection is overruled, the judge has determined the objection is invalid. The question may stand. The witness must then answer the question.
A shorthand way to remember this is Overruled = Ongoing, as in the witness may continue as if the objection never occurred. Hope this helps!
