Hi I have just completed my first brew and managed to run into more problems then I ever imagined ..... but then again, it was pretty fun! My biggest problem however is that I ended up with a very low gravity, 1020, from my mash, and I was wondering if anyone could suggest why ? I 'thought' that it had gone well until the hydrometer reared its ugly face. I used a rectangular 33l cooler with a false bottom that I created, I brewed a wheat beer so I had 3 rests, 15 min at 43, 15 min at 52, and an hour at 65. I used a stiff water ratio of 1.5l to each kg for my strike calculation. I sparged about 18 litres at 65-70 degrees using a continuous sparge, keeping the water about 1/2 an inch above the grain bed which was a good 6 inches deep. I used 3kg of piksner malt (crushed) and 2.5kg of torrified wheat and ended up with 30l pre boil of wort. The false bottom had 2mm holes in a 10mm square grid and fit the cooler pretty tight althought there was some small gaps in some of the edges. I was quite terrified of aeration so I didn't stir the mash much, only a little bit at the end. However I did endevour to make sure all the grains were wetted in the initial strike by adding all the water half litre at a time. Sooooooooo any huge errors that anyone can see that would result in my low gravity ? think I will be doing a nice simple ale next time but I do enjoy a good and complicated bodge even if it does go wrong I dumped a load of sugar and treacle into it to make up for the gravity and I cant wait to see how drinkable it ends up! The other question I have is how important sanitation is, everything I have ever read says it is the ultimate, how ever I cant help but think back to the vikings ... I am pretty sure they had a terrible reputation for the old hand washing yet drank a fair bit of beer! Has anyone ever had a bad batch from getting infected or is it more a case of off flavours? Thanks! cant wait for the next brew! Ed
Your process seems pretty good so the first thing I always consider is the quality of the grain crush. A poor crush is a primary reason for poor efficiency in the mash. Also, when you took the reading did you stir the wort prior to taking the sample, stratification of the wort can occur. Third, did you temperature correct your hydrometer reading and did you verify your hydrometer is calibrated? Re: Sanitation, yes it is important and if you read these boards enough you will read countless threads about infections that occur because people did not clean AND sanitize. If you develop a good practice early on it becomes second nature and part of the routine of brewing.
the Vikings fermented with wild yeast and what they drank didn't taste anything like what you are making. Don't be afraid to stir your mash, that is why they make mash paddles, I stir the heck out of mine. I assume we have to add a 1 to your temperatures?
Thanks for the replys, the temps are in centigrade so in old money it would be about 110, 125, 150. the grain was bought from a home brew store crushed, so I think i can assume it wouldnt be 'that' bad a crush! The hydro read 1000 for tap water - I assumed that meant its calibrated ? I got the wort sample to 20 degrees (centegrade) before testing it and I most certainly stirred it before taking the sample! As much as I would love it to be a simple measuring error I think it was more endemic. Well I guess if the theory was ok I may have to chalk up the failure to inexperience! It will be interesting to try a single rest, batch sparge method (maybe even stirring my mash as well), my efficiency was probably about 35% so at things can only get better
Don't assume not a bad crush, next time ask them to mill twice, I bet your efficiency improves

Sounds like a Paul Begala or James Carville in the making, right? Think again. The Dean experience actually pushed Klein away from party activism and toward what would become his career. "It turned out I hated working for a campaign," he says now. "I have strong opinions about American public policy, and the nature of working on a campaign is that you have to sublimate your opinions to somebody else's. It's really around that time that I began taking journalism more seriously."
Klein became part of an emerging "Netroots" phenomenon: left-of-center political junkies, native to the Web, who tilted at windmills during the dark reign of George W. Bush and would eventually help refashion Democratic politics and political media. These young grassroots bloggers were basically functioning as political columnists without a mainstream-media platform: among them, Markos Moulitsas (founder of the innovative and high-trafficked community site Daily Kos), Duncan Black (the dour, acid-penned proprietor of The Eschaton Blog, known by his pen name, Atrios), and Matthew Yglesias (well-known even before graduating from Harvard in 2003).
During President Bush's second term, the left's newly energized bloggers developed a wry shorthand to mock the political-media bubble they saw enveloping Washington. Morally pompous Iraq war supporters (especially on The Washington Post op-ed page) were tagged "Very Serious People," since "un-serious" was a frequent slur on the allegedly ill-informed anti-war left. Above-it-all Beltway paeans to bipartisan comity were dubbed "High Broderism," in anti-tribute to David Broder, still considered by many to be the dean of the DC journalism establishment. "Even The New Republic" became a favored sardonic phrase. As National Review's David Frum wrote in May 2007, "If even The New Republic finds more to praise than to blame in the left blogosphere, then the brakes are truly off the Democratic machine."
The Netroots crowd reserved its harshest critique for what it dubbed "The Village"—that unreal political island in the District of Columbia where absurdly powerful people treat important policy like frivolous sport and pretend to disagree with one another on cable chat shows. Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman—sanctimoniously pro-war and favorite of The New Republic—always seemed to be the only Village "liberal" allowed in places like NBC's Meet the Press, where he would wallow in host Tim Russert's High Broderism and cluck his tongue at the uncivil rabble to his left.
"I think a lot of blogging was founded on a very particular critique of the media," Klein says. "During this period of the Iraq war, there was a broad feeling that the media hadn't done its job, that it had been hampered by this requirement to pretend the truth always was in the middle. And I was part of that critique." (Klein was originally in favor of the Iraq war on liberal-hawk grounds that he would soon repudiate.)
Still an undergraduate, Klein found himself attracted to Matthew Yglesias and the older, left-of-center blogger Kevin Drum, both of whom were more journalistic and amiable than the typical bomb-throwing diarist at Daily Kos. "If you wanted to tell the story of my coming up, Matt Yglesias is the key figure," Klein says. "Matt's blog was a major inspiration for me, because he was a college student and he did this kind of data-driven, very careful work that appealed to me."
There are many, both within Netroots and without, who would object to several of my descriptions and reductionisms, but essentially the movement's more buttoned-down Klein/Yglesias/Drum wing began to gravitate to The Village—or at least toward its coterie of smallish-circulation magazines of political opinion. Yglesias was nicknamed "Big Media Matt" for getting signed to The American Prospect in 2003. Drum's blog became the homepage of The Washington Monthly for four years beginning in 2004 (it's now hosted by Mother Jones). And Klein took his initial plunge as an unpaid intern at The Washington Monthly in the summer of '04.
(This is as good as place as any to note my numerous conflicts of interest: I edit a monthly, Reason, that competes with the aforementioned magazines; I was one of the first to praise Yglesias's blog, and also recommended him to the Prospect; I was part of the "warblog" crowd that incensed the Netroots; I've tangled with many of these guys publicly, including Klein; and I once enjoyed a cocktail at Drum's apartment. You can be a relatively minor cog in the wheel of Washington journalism, and be riddled with so many conflicts that the whole Village critique feels inadequate.)

Colombia Official Travel Guide
You are here:
Tuesday, 04 August 2009 00:00
With a 22% increase in the number of tourists aboard 138 cruise liners, the port of Cartagena expects to welcome 470,168 visitors, of which 332,594 are tourists and 137,574 are crew members. As to Santa Marta and San Andrés, estimates foresee the arrival of 100,000 tourists on 69 cruise calls between the two.
The arrival at the port of Cartagena of Princess Cruises' Dawn Princess on August 7, 2009 marks the start of a new cruise season that will extend to June 2010.
The novelty of this cruise season will be the arrival, for the first time, in October 2009, of Pullmantur, the Spanish company with over ten years experience in cruise tourism in the Mediterranean, northern Europe, and the Caribbean.
This arrival will bring to 25 the number of cruise companies docking at Colombian ports: Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, See Tours, Holland America, Silver Cruises, Azamara Cruises, MTC Hamburg, Seabourn, among others.
To work hand in hand with the local government entities of Cartagena, Santa Marta and San Andrés and the regions' tourist operators is the strategy of PROCOLOMBIA's Vice Presidency for Tourism for turning this experience into a new tool for fostering not only the increase of tourism in the Colombian Caribbean, but also to show a positive and unforgettable image of Colombia.
According to Nubia Stella Martínez, PROCOLOMBIA's Vice President for Tourism, the experience of four years of continuous success and growth in ship and passenger arrivals leaves lessons that make us feel more confident in regard to the conditions of Colombia and to what tourists expect to find in the destinations of Cartagena, Santa Marta, and San Andrés.
Colombian cities are ready with an infrastructure to welcome and care for tourists in the best possible way and to achieve Cartagena's consolidation as a home port to allow the embarkation not only of Colombian tourists, but of South American tourists as well.

Why One Woman Says Sending Your Kid To Private School Is Evil

I am not a fan of liquid liners - but this one by Sephora is practically the ONE I can recommend to other people just like me.
It does what it say: lasts long, doesn't budge or smudge and the color intensity is perfect. Now there are different finishes for this product, I tend to go for those that are 'matte' because they give the best color pay-off.
I can wear this liner all day long and experience zero discomfort. Of course it is not 100% waterproof - it will come off once you get your eyes wet. But it is strong enough not to smudge all around your lids or underneath.
If you want a professional review for this eyeliner by Sephora, I leave a blog/review link below which I hope will be helpful:

When I first tried it on the back of my hand in Sephora I thought it was pretty good, dries up quick and doesn't seem to smudge at all so I bought this.
It smudged just right about an hour after I applied on my upper eyelids. By the end of the day I looked like a raccoon with the black ink all over my eyelids, and also major smearing under my eyes. I went to gym right after work with my make up still on, ended up looking like I have applied black eye shadow intentionally.
Honestly one of the worst liquid eyeliners I have ever purchased.

This product looks really well on eyes, but runs a lot. It burns my eyes when putting it on, and it has dried out my eyelids. My eyelids are now every sensitive and hurt just by touching them because of wearing this eye liner, I just bought It and I had to throw it away, I would not buy this product again

I had switched to this relucatantly after Urban Decay discontinued the liquid liner that I had been using and replaced the formula with something waterproof (which I didn't want). I was surprised at how much I liked it. I used it in jet black and it's very highly pigmented. And because it's not waterproof, it was also very easy to remove at the end of the day. I never had problems with it running either. I use liquid liner daily and so it became a staple of my routine. The brush is fine so you have a lot of control over the thickness of the line you want to draw on. Unfortunately for me, I developed an allergic reaction to the formula and had to discontinue using it. If it weren't for that, I would most definitely continue using this product. Otherwise, I would highly recomend giving this eyeliner a try. For the cost, the quality is comparable to higher end brands. And it's definitely MUCH better than drug store brands.

This eyeliner is my absolute number 1 go to eyeliner. If you don't have this eyeliner i highly suggest you give it a try. It goes on like a dream, and it stays put all day. It comes in a variety of colours, my favourite being black, but the light blue is a close second. I don't go a day without wearing this eyeliner.

I've been using this for years, but never thought to review it. I tend to review the new things I try rather than my best battle-tested buddies. I'm missing it terribly, though, since there is no Sephora near me.
This liquid liner is everything you want: opaque, matte finish; water resistant (not waterproof), great staying power, and a nice, pointy felt tip that doesn't fall apart or have pieces of fuzz shed off (a problem I've had with other brands), and there's enough product in the tube to justify the price. There is nothing to dislike here, which is what makes it perfect. Think about it--your favourite make-up products aren't the ones you have non-stop raves about, but are the ones you have zero complaints about and therefore never talk much about. Perhaps that's why I don't think to review my favourites?

I don't write reviews but created a screen name and password after reading reviews on this product. I love this eyeliner and couldn't live without it. I think it must matter what color you choose. But the black for me, means MY LIFE. Don't criticize this product. It doesn't smear, it doesn't sweat or crack, it dries matte, it's everything you want in a liquid eyeliner.

The room was quiet although the location (next to the freeway and public transit) was not. It had a microwave and small fridge (very handy) but no iron (not so handy). Free parking was a considerable bonus. I had a little issue with the plumbing (toilet loose, I think a broken seal), and there was no TV user's guide. All in all, I'm happy with the money I saved staying there.

Ok, its not a hostel, but for the price - PRIVATE room with no snoring neighbours, super fast wifi, tv in room, private bath, toilet and closet! You can't go wrong! Close to Starbucks, Rite Aid, bars, restaurants and most importantly both busses and Max to downtown and surrounding areas, its ideal for a traveller and a good chance for some privacy between hostels and camping! I paid $60 and had an awesome stay, so much so, that I extended my stay the next morning. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This is a motel but for what it was, the price was right. There was even a TV in our room. Not a good place if you're looking to meet people or to do group activities. It's not downtown, but there's a bus very close. Also a Starbucks, a pizzeria and a movie theatre close by if you aren't into going downtown every night. Enjoy your stay!

The motel charged me everything in advance in my credit card, the day before my arrival, then i had to ask them to refund me because we were paying in cash. Also in the reservation they put 2 queen size beds and when we arrived we had 1 queen size bed and they wanted to charge us $10 dollars more for the other bed. The service was bad and the only good thing about the hostel was the location, it was 5 blocks away from the max line.

Students also explore specific views of criminal behavior germane to groups, such as psychopaths, serial offenders, and sexually violent predators. At the end of this course, students will have an understanding of the theories and practices that are the foundations of the field of criminology.
Justice is at the heart of the U.S. democratic system, yet opposing viewpoints surrounding and within the system often muddle interpretations of the law and the development of policies to promote and enforce justice. In this course, students examine events that have significantly changed how the legal system interprets the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Code, and the U.S. Patriot Act, for example, the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001. They learn how social and historical changes have shifted perspectives and sparked debates on expanding the rights of government versus safeguarding personal civil rights and civil liberties. Through discussion with peers, assessment of contemporary articles, and examination of Supreme Course cases, students have the opportunity to reflect on and potentially broaden their own opinions and perspectives on current criminal justice affairs in regard to issues of law enforcement, public perception, policy development, and ethics.
Public and nonprofit leaders require a deep understanding of their roles as directors and managers of diverse and complex organizations. This course examines the distinction between leadership and management, organizational culture, change management, systems theories, and organizational development from a theoretical and applied perspective. Students apply principles to public, private, and nonprofit organizational settings.
Criminal justice encompasses many roles and responsibilities, including responding to victims, punishing or rehabilitating criminals, and developing laws and policies. To carry out these tasks effectively and responsibly, taking into account current trends and ethical considerations, criminal justice professionals need to understand underlying factors, such as the root causes of crime and the impact of crime on communities. In this course, students examine a range of research methodologies, including quantitative and qualitative methods, that professionals use to collect data and analyze trends in criminal justice. They examine models, metrics, and tools used to evaluate criminal justice programs and policies, and they assess the strengths and limitations of research methods. Students also learn about threats to the validity of data and consider the legal and ethical issues associated with research and evaluation methods.
Ethics is a foundational element of leadership. Leaders face increasingly complex social and political challenges as they seek to meet the needs of diverse constituents. This course explores ethics and social justice related to economic disparity, power, and privilege. Students use demographic data and current social trends and themes to understand, analyze, and address ethical and social justice issues that impact service delivery in a global community.
In an increasingly complex world, leaders and managers in public and nonprofit organizations need to be strategic in their planning in order to fulfill the organizational mission and enhance stakeholder satisfaction. This course explores the role and process of strategic planning with an appreciation for collaboration, cooperation, and coordination as they relate to the strategic planning process. Students will apply these concepts to real-life situations and organizations and develop a strategic plan.
Sound financial practices are crucial to managing scarce funds in both public and nonprofit operations. This course examines finance and budgeting concepts, policies, and practices related to organizations as well as the fiscal climate within which they operate. Students gain an understanding of theories motivating major fiscal-policy debates; read, analyze, and construct budgets; and read and analyze financial statements and reports. Other topics include auditing practices, tax systems, financial management, budgetary reform, financial technology systems specific to government organizations, and the use of dashboards for financial reporting. Students apply what they learn to develop a budget and financial plan for either a public or private organization.
The acquisition, development, and retention of talent are critical to the success of any organization. This course examines theories, approaches, and systems related to the acquisition, management, development, and retention of employees in government and nonprofit organizations. Students explore topics including legal and ethical considerations, diversity, performance management, technology, conflict management, and the establishment and implementation of policies through the use of case studies. Students apply principles learned in this course to situations encountered in public, private, and nonprofit organizations.
Practitioners in the field of criminal justice must be adept in preparing communications for colleagues, supervisors, and the public. In this course, students have the opportunity to develop the skills needed to produce effective documents that criminal justice professionals use on a daily basis, such as court records, data analysis reports, and program-implementation plans. Student learn how to conduct interviews, gather background information, and use decision-making and critical-thinking skills to create clear, concise communications. They broaden their ability to write for a specific purpose and a highly defined audience as they incorporate criminal justice principles and practices into a variety of communication tools.
This course provides a broad perspective on the history of the U.S. Patriot Act, similar terroristic legislation and immigration laws, and their policy implications on law enforcement, governmental entities, organizations, and individuals. It provides a basic foundation upon which to build for those public administrators and public policy analysts who are charged with drafting and implementing public policy and enforcing and/or responding to potential terroristic threats, while simultaneously upholding and protecting constitutional freedoms. Material for this course is drawn from contemporary texts, websites, case studies, and material representing international, national, and local governments and organizations. Learners critically review and analyze the U.S. Patriot Act and similar terroristic 297 legislation and policies, and participate in online discussions about these laws and their implications on U.S. constitutional freedoms.
This course provides participants with an overview of terrorism—local, national, and international—and the need to develop a systemic approach for emergency preparedness. Topics include, but are not limited to, terrorism overview, terrorism and public health, bioterrorism, biosecurity, cyberterrorism, risk assessment, implications for public health, and components of a systemic preparedness infrastructure. Course participants begin the development and/or analysis of a terrorism preparedness infrastructure and participate in online discussions.
This course examines the principles of emergency planning, selection of leaders, specialized planning (e.g., schools, tourism), mutual aid, and leadership theories. It provides a basic foundation for public administrators to develop a critical incident plan and also understand leadership theories. Course participants critically analyze case studies, identifying weaknesses and potential solutions.

A suburban motorist is mounting a legal challenge to Willowbrook's red-light cameras in DuPage County Circuit Court in hopes the village will re-examine the program, if not dismantle it.
Wayne Bancroft of Downers Grove said he has decided to appeal the finding of "liable" levied against him over a pair of violations racked up by his son at 75th Street and state Route 83 in Willowbrook. Video and still photos taken at that intersection shortly before noon on May 6 appear to show a vehicle registered to Wayne Bancroft entering the intersection to complete a left turn after the left-turn arrow had changed from yellow to red. The second incident occurred around the same time of day June 11.
Bancroft, who by his own admission is "kind of stubborn," then retained the services of Buffalo Grove resident Barnet Fagel, known as The Red Light Doctor. Fagel was batting leadoff at the Aug. 20 Red Light Enforcement Adjudication Hearing held at the Willowbrook Village Hall, as Bancroft's case was the first one called. The once-a-month sessions allow vehicle owners cited at one of the village's three red-light camera intersections to explain why their tickets should be dismissed.
A handful of individuals waiting to plead their cases listened closely as Fagel was sworn in by Daniel Hanlon, the administrative hearing officer retained by Willowbrook. Fagel presented paperwork showing he had been granted power of attorney by Bancroft. A subsequent video played by Hanlon clearly showed a vehicle registered to Bancroft entering the intersection and completing a left turn after the left-turn arrow had changed from yellow to red.
Fagel was unfazed. He cited sections and subsections of the Illinois Vehicle Code with ease and made an eloquent, if eventually unsuccessful, argument that the citations should be dismissed. Fagel also played his own DVD of his client's violation video that featured a certified stopwatch timing the yellow arrow, produced with Sony professional video editing gear.
But Hanlon wasn't buying Fagel's main point: that the video evidence was faulty because it did not depict the entire cycle of the left turn arrow from green to yellow to red. Instead, the violation video began when the arrow was already yellow. In the video, the arrow was yellow for just 2.5 seconds, below the state and federal standards that require a minimum of three seconds. After Hanlon noted that state law doesn't require the type of video evidence Fagel was demanding, he ruled that both tickets would stand and that payment of $100 was rightfully due to the village for each violation.
When Hanlon the called the next case, that driver came forward looking as if he had just lost his wallet.
"Well, if that man can't win his case, I'm not going to even try," the driver told Hanlon. "I'm guilty. Where do I go to pay?"
Willowbrook, one of about 70 Illinois communities using red-light cameras, monitors three intersections along Ill. Route 83: at 63rd Street, 75th Street, and Midway Drive. Police Chief Mark Shelton said the cameras capture somewhere between 700 and 1,000-plus drivers blowing through red lights or red left-turn arrows each month. Shelton said videotape and still photos from each incident are reviewed by one of five Willowbrook police officers, who then decide whether the evidence supports a citation. Shelton estimates violation notices are mailed to registered owners (who may not be the drivers caught on camera) in fewer than half of the cases reviewed each month.
Shelton, for one, is sold on the concept that red-light cameras are an effective tool for reducing traffic accidents.
"Absolutely," he said. "The number of accidents has gone down significantly since the cameras were installed, and there have been no fatal accidents since then."
Willowbrook had to make its case to the Illinois Department of Transportation before the village was allowed to install the cameras, he said, and the village is committed to fairly enforcing the results. That means giving some small degree of latitude to drivers who may not have come to a full and complete stop before completing a right turn on red, for example. Shelton said red-light cameras have made driving a safer experience in Willowbrook, and he would oppose any plan to remove them.
Although Darien does not have any red-light cameras, Darien Police Chief Ernest Brown said he supports the concept.
"Anything that changes driver habits has the potential to be good," he said. "It speaks to driving habits that lead to accidents, particularly driving too fast for conditions and following too closely."
Fagel, however, rejects the safety argument and contends the cameras are all about the revenue they generate.
"These cameras are municipal crack cocaine," he said. "These villages have come to depend on the money they generate. They put the money from red-light camera fines into their budgets each year, and they talk about it openly."
Fagel said he got involved in contesting red light camera violations about six years ago, after his son was caught on video at one of Chicago's nearly 200 camera-equipped intersections.
"That created the first case I had," he said. "My rights were abused and ignored, and I was incensed. It was, and is, barcode justice."
Tags: DuPage CountyFacts about red-light violations
• Illinois is one of 24 states that have at least one red-light camera in operation. A ticket issued by an automated camera system is treated as a civil matter rather than a criminal offense. The usual fine is $100, but this amount usually doubles if the violation remains unpaid or unanswered after 30 to 60 days. Violations are based on license plate information and are mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle in question, regardless of who was driving. Red-light camera violations, as well as speed camera violations, are typically not reported to insurance carriers or the Illinois Secretary of State's Office, and are not treated as moving violations.
• Red-light tickets generate money. With more than 300 red-light cameras in place, Chicago collected more than $69 million in 2012, the last year for which figures are available. In all, more than 70 Illinois communities use such automated enforcement. An updated list of municipalities using automated enforcement methods as of September 2014, as compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, is available at http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/laws/automated_enforcement
• The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has conducted two major studies which it contends show cameras discourage motorists from running red lights. In comparing large cities with red-light cameras to those without them, the cameras reduced fatal crashes from red-light running by 24 percent, and reduced the rate of all types of fatal crashes at signalized intersections by 17 percent.
• Vehicle owners who receive violation notices can contest them, usually by showing up in person at regularly scheduled hearings conducted by an administrative law judge or an administrative hearing officer. These individuals are usually lawyers retained by the municipality where the citation was issued. Offenders enter a plea of "liable" or "not liable" and are sworn in before giving their version of events. Appeals are rare, since the costs for filing the necessary paperwork at the circuit court level are nearly equal to the fine amount, to say nothing of attorney fees or other costs.
• Red-light camera opponents may see legal relief this fall, when the Illinois Supreme Court reconvenes. In May, justices heard oral arguments in a class-action lawsuit (Elizabeth Keating, et. al, etc. v. City of Chicago, etc., No. 116054) challenging the legality of Chicago's red-light cameras. Plaintiffs argue the Illinois General Assembly violated the Illinois Constitution in 2006 when it voted to allow cities in just eight counties (Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Madison, McHenry, St. Clair and Will) to adopt the use of red-light cameras.

I have created an annotation style for a control valve which works fine but I am trying to add the same annotation style to some other symbols and it gives me an error saying "Style xxx already exists in drawing!"
There are plenty of other symbols using the same annotation style as one another so what am I doing wrong here?
You'll have to define it at a higher level in the class tree. Annotations, like most properties, are inherited from parent classes.
Thanks Dave, that fixed it but now I have another problem.
The particular annotation style I have created is required to be used on every piece of equipment or instrument that has any I/O on it. So at the moment if I annotate a control valve the Object Type and Loop Number are displayed but if I annotate say a motor, only the Type will display.
Is there a way to have the 'Loop Number' (for say a control valve) and the 'Number' (for say a motor) in the same attribute?
The way I have gotten around it at the moment is to have an attribute called #(TARGETOBJECT.LOOPNUMBER) and another attribute called #(TARGETOBJECT.NUMBER) on top of each other but this is not ideal as the attribute not being used still displayes the dot (.)

Diet Coke revives 'hunk' for 30th anniversary celebrations
Diet Coke has unveiled a teaser ad on its Facebook page hinting at the return of the "hunk" from its classic TV ads, as part of celebrations to mark the brand's 30th anniversary.
Diet Coke: bringing back the hunk
The 20-second clip, on the brand's Facebook page, features the Etta James track 'I Just Want To Make Love To You', used in Diet Coke's famous 1996 ad, which introduced the 'Diet Coke' hunk.
It shows a close-up of a man about to remove his T-shirt, followed by a close-up shot of a woman drinking from a can of Diet Coke. It then states, "He's back", before calling on viewers to return to its Facebook page at 11:30am on Monday (28 January).
On its Facebook page, the brand states: "'I just wanna to make love to you!' Here's your very first look at the new Diet Coke Hunk! Don't forget to share with your friends..."
As revealed by Marketing last year, Diet Coke is putting its birthday celebrations at the centre of its UK marketing plans for 2013, as the brand seeks to engage with its core female target audience.
Last year, the soft-drinks firm hired BETC London to its £40m ad account for North-West Europe and the Nordics, to devise a new creative strategy for Diet Coke.
Check out a list of the best Diet Coke ads of the past 30 years.

Bob Fu understands better than most the fear and frustration that the students who protested for 79 days last year in Hong Kong must feel as their leaders await prosecution. Back in 1989, Fu led fellow university students at the pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. His actions put him on the ruling party's radar and ultimately led to two months in prison after he started an illegal house church. Fu was forced to write confessions, and was betrayed by his former friends. During his incarceration his feelings of suicidal despair and anger were relieved only by the "beautiful s

A row threatens to overshadow the consecration of the first female Church of England bishop next week. The Archbishop of York, the Most Rev John Sentamu, will ordain the Rev Libby Lane as the Bishop of Stockport on Monday. A week later, he will take the unprecedented step of declining to "lay his hands" on another new bishop, the Rev Philip North, it was claimed last night. The move, which runs against centuries of tradition, would prevent conservatives in the church from regarding Mr North as "tainted" by an ecclesiastical innovation that would break the line of male su
Middle-aged women are far more likely than men to believe in God and life after death, according to an extensive study of their religious views. It found that almost two thirds of women in their early forties believe in some sort of afterlife compared with only a third of men. Half of men this age were happy to describe themselves as atheists or agnostics compared with a third of women. The survey, by the Institute for Education, comes after the Church of England announced that the Rev Libby Lane will be the first female bishop after a historic change to canon law last N

Sociedad extends unbeaten run to 14
BARCELONA, Spain (AP)
Real Sociedad extended its unbeaten run to 14 straight games by drawing 0-0 at Osasuna, while Espanyol beat nine-man Getafe 2-0 for its third straight away victory in the Spanish league on Sunday.
The result left Sociedad in fourth place and in control of Spain's final Champions League berth, and set up a critical match next weekend when it hosts a surging Valencia side that is just two points adrift.
In an otherwise dire match, Sociedad enjoyed the only clear scoring chances in the 24th minute when striker Imanol Agirretxe headed a corner kick onto the post before goalkeeper Andres Fernandez sprang to save Xabi Prieto's attempt to put in the rebound.
Sociedad has only lost once in its last 22 matches.
Earlier, Joan Verdu finished off a well-orchestrated passing combination by Espanyol culminating in Sergio Garcia's chested assist for the midfielder to volley home in the 37th.
Getafe was decimated by Borja Fernandez's second yellow card in the 52nd and Federico Fernandez's red card in the 72nd for a low tackle on Garcia.
Fernandez's foul led to Christian Stuani netting Espanyol's second goal from the resulting free kick a minute later when he pushed in a short cross from Diego Colotto after Wakaso Mubarak found him in the area.
Espanyol has risen from last place to 10th under replacement coach Javier Aguirre. The former Mexico coach has a contract until the end of the season and remained coy about his plans.
''We can't talk about my future until I sit down with the directors of the club,'' Aguirre said.
Getafe stayed in ninth place after its first loss at Alfonso Perez Coliseum in 11 games.
Also, Fernando Llorente scored his second goal of the season to give 10-man Athletic Bilbao a 1-1 draw at Deportivo La Coruna.
Llorente, who has had limited playing time this season after refusing to renew his contract last summer, canceled out Bruno Gama's long-range strike in the 38th when the Spain striker headed in Andoni Iraola's lobbed pass one minute before halftime.
Bilbao midfielder Ander Iturraspe was dismissed with his second yellow card in the 81st, but Deportivo never threatened to take advantage of its extra man.
Deportivo saw its four-game winning run end as it crept two points clear of the relegation zone.
Sevilla hosts Atletico Madrid later.
Barcelona maintained its 13-point lead by edging out Levante 1-0 on Saturday, after Real Madrid remained in second place by beating Real Betis 3-1. Also, Valencia routed Malaga 5-1, and Granada drew 1-1 with Valladolid. Mallorca and Rayo Vallecano drew 1-1 on Friday.
Last-place Celta Vigo hosts second-to-last Real Zaragoza on Monday.

I guess my hopes were too high for this recipe--I had wanted something with very fresh flavors of summer. While it was fine, it didn't have the freshness I was looking for. The peach nectar gave it a predictably "bottled juice" flavor that undermined the freshness of the basil infusion. I suppose one might try pureeing fresh summer peaces.
The basil leaves...put just at the end when serving...do they infuse any flavor at all??

We're not going to argue that the candy boxes and stuffed teddy bears of yore could use an upgrade, but when MainStreet began conducting our annual round-up of wonderfully wacky Valentine's gifts, we had no idea what we would find, or that any red-blooded retailer would offer these things.
Anyway, if your love's on the rocks or simply starved for some dark humor, let these gifts be your Valentine's guide. We can't guarantee your sweetie will love them, or that he or she will love you on Feb. 15th, but remember, it's the thought that counts.

It looks like a Tradescantia, but be careful - they can be very invasive if plantaed in the ground.
I have one (with amazing blue flowers) in a big pot.
Thank you very much - I will try both ways!
does anyone know how to take cuttings from a Lilac?
I don't really know whether it's possible or not. My neighbour has a lovely white syringa and I would love to have a cutting from this bush.
And what wolud be the best time to take one?
OOPs, they might be celandines.... so no solution??????????
I would love Lilly of the valley....
To daituom:
I have TWO cats and they don't keep the neighbours cats ( 6!!!) away - they became friends!!!!!!!!!!!!
They all enjoy sunbathing together (if the sun is shining)
I have just given up, I let some ground in a corner for the cats, clean it from time to time and dig it over.
The cats don't use the other beds so much any more.
I have lots of arconites in my flower beds.
I have tried to dig them out last year but they always come back. What would be the best way to eliminate them?
Is there any special ( insectfriendly) weed killer?
Although I don't like weed killers - I just can't be digging for days and days....
Please help..............
I tried Lemon oil on teabags - it seems to work. The oil is not poisonous and would not harm the cats or the plants.
Yes - good idea! I will do this.

Not brothers. One Colombian who sings everything, plays everything, and mixes everything. In recent years he's been performing live and gathering other musicians under the Meridian Brothers name, but in the beginning he was it. Devoción's compilers picked tracks from three albums that are available through the Colombian label La Distritofónica. Soundway brought out Desperanza, his latest, in 2012.
Earlier in the year he appeared on their musical collective album Ondatrópica, via the band he was in, Frente Cumbeiro. On Devoción—all pre-2012 songs—he's still moving towards the more Colombian-trad sound of those two albums. His music has the kind of off-kilter uneasy-whimsical surrealism that made me nod when I heard that he was inspired by Argentinean indie. It's playful without being safe. Those warped animal sound effects would have been twee if they were more hospitable, and the humans repeating their wooting noises in "El Enamorando" are eerie with the ingenue eeriness of a stuffed toy.

Schroeder: Ducks need a dose of special from Darron Thomas
George Schroeder's column from today's editions:
LaMichael James is down — not for long, he says, but who really knows? — and so the question as Oregon nears the season's halfway point is simple:
Who's got next?
Even as James' right elbow popped back into place, you could almost hear the gears whirring in Chip Kelly's head as the coach pondered his options: Kenjon Barner, and Tra Carson, and how best to get the ball to De'Anthony Thomas.
"Other guys have to step up — that's what this deal's all about," the coach said, and he's exactly right.
Without their biggest star, the Ducks need their other running backs. Those guys are talented, sure, and plenty explosive. But I'm not sure it's doable, replacing James' production and highlight potential — or as important, his often overlooked toughness.
Which is why as long as we're talking about stepping up, it's time to focus on Oregon's most important player, the guy with the best chance to become the Ducks' catalyst.
You ready, Darron Thomas?
Don't misunderstand. The junior quarterback has been solid enough, and poised as ever, and a leader on the field. But it's time for special, because this season still has every chance to be.
Never mind the loss to LSU, and never mind the loss of LaMichael. There's plenty of opportunity available for Oregon. A third straight conference championship. A Rose Bowl. Also, it's a very long shot, but another trip to the BCS Championship game is not completely out of reach.
That last one requires crazy chaos, and plenty of it — but that's college football. The point here is, the season isn't quite to the halfway point, and it's all still out there, waiting, if the Ducks can capitalize.
They'll need better play from their quarterback. It will take the improvement we all expected to see from Thomas after his splendid sophomore season, and especially after the BCS Championship.
Remember? Thomas shook off a shaky start to pass for 363 yards. With the run game stuffed, Thomas passed the Ducks back into a tie late, and even though Auburn won, the takeaway was wow, this kid's going to be superb in 2011.
So far, he's only been solid.
Nothing wrong with that. But Oregon needs special, now more than ever.

The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
MAROUANE FELLAINI'S commitment to the Everton cause has never been in doubt in the dressing room, insists Phil Jagielka.
The Belgian midfielder was so determined to make amends for his controversial display in Everton's FA Cup quarter-final fiasco that he played with an ankle injury in the following victory over Manchester City.
Fellaini produced a pointedly fierce show of commitment to help set a dominant tone for the Blues last Saturday, although consequently received the booking which will rule him out of the next two fixtures against Stoke and Tottenham.
However, Toffees vice-captain Jagielka believes the 25-year-old deserves more credit for his displays this season in a role which has seen him regularly targeted by opponents.
He said: "Felli has taken all the beatings for us throughout the season and he will feel sometimes like the world is against him. Sometimes it has been.
"You can forget he is not that old. He hasn't grown up in the Premier League for all his career and hasn't been at this level as long as others.
"He had a painful ankle problem before the City game and he could have milked it and missed the game before disappearing off on international week. But he was desperate to play.
"He strapped himself up and put in a great performance. You cannot question his commitment."
Prior to his side's vital triumph over the reigning champions last Saturday, David Moyes admitted that he did not consider dropping Fellaini because he needed his best players on the pitch, and Jagielka hopes his team-mate can maintain the sort of influential contribution when he returns from suspension to help Everton's European charge.
"We know what sort of person he is and I'd like to think most fans would consider what he's done for the club this season," said the England defender, who is hoping to be in contention for a return against Stoke next weekend, if stitches in his ankle have healed enough.
"We can forgive him for five minutes of ultra frustration which bubbled over. It's good to see that he's up for it because when he's like that it makes us a lot stronger as a team."FOR more times than he cares to dwell upon, Phil Jagielka has been forced into watching from the sidelines at a crucial point in Everton's season.
The Blues central defensive lynchpin and vice captain had been a vital part of his club's bid for European football this season, until a rash tackle from Reading's Adam Le Fondre earlier this month left him consigned to the treatment room.
He has suffered a similar fate at around the same stage in three of the last four seasons, missing an FA Cup final, semi-final, and this term's disastrous quarter-final.
But the upbeat 30-year-old is at least hopeful of being back in action sooner rather than later this time around - even if he is concerned about the current uncertainty surrounding tackling in the Premier League.
One thing is certain - as an old-school type footballer Jagielka loves a tackle, and would be reluctant to trash a fellow pro for getting stuck in.
But the England centre-back admits his concerns about the ambiguity generated by the FA's treatment of Wigan's Callum McManaman - who escaped censure for his terrible lunge on Newcastle's Massadio Haïdara last Sunday after the FA claimed one of the match officials had seen the incident, even if not the full extent of it.
"I didn't see Le Fondre's as a particularly bad tackle," says Jagielka, who is able to run in training again but must wait to see how stitches to the deep gouge in his ankle heal, before determining whether he will be fit to face Stoke City next weekend.
"I got to the ball before him and as I've kicked it, I've kicked his studs as much as he stands on my ankle. It happens. I've caught people late in the past.
"I was hopping into the tunnel hoping to get it stitched and come back out to play but when I took my boot off I realised. Still, he apologised and there was no malice in it.
"McManaman's is a really tough one. It was not the best tackle by a long stretch, and if he had been suspended no one would have grumbled about it. It's strange that there has somehow been a reason not to take action.
"The issue is too clouded. Now you can guarantee that in the next few months an incident will crop up and the FA will try and take retrospective action. Then someone will try and prove that an official saw it and so they can't do anything about it.
"It's a hard enough job being a referee or referee's assistant as it is - now this makes it harder to get consistent conclusions with things like this."
Jagielka was equally frustrated by Lee Probert's decision to dismiss Steven Pienaar - who along with Marouane Fellaini will now miss the next two games - for a second bookable offence against Manchester City last Saturday.
Replays seemed to suggest City's Spanish midfielder Javi Garcia over-reacted to the South African's 61st minute challenge, and Jagielka has sympathy for his team-mate.
"Steven knew he had already been booked and couldn't afford to mistime another one," he says.
"So as much as the guy made a meal of it, that's the football world we live in now. Not many will get up and brush themselves off and shake your hand.
"Steven's got to hold his hands up and say maybe he shouldn't have given the referee the chance to give him the card. But if you look at the two second bookings which have got him sent off this season (against City and QPR in October), overall he has been hard done by."
The victory over the reigning champions may have therefore come at a cost to personnel, but Jagielka says it was crucial.
"It was a very important game," he says. "It reminded me of the Manchester United game at Goodison earlier in the season, how we grew into it and really imposed ourselves.
"The lads were great. Jan made some good saves but nothing out of the ordinary. You could tell how important it was for us - maybe more so than it was for City.
"To have lost it or only got a point would have been tough after the previous week, and going into a long international break. Fair play to the manager he did well before the game to prepare the team, and the boys went out and proved we are a good side.
"We might lack that little bit of extra quality right throughout the squad but we can beat anyone on our day, and we showed our togetherness."
Jagielka believes it was important to remind the squad how well they had started the season, which is just what Moyes did with a special morale-boosting highlights film before last weekend's triumph.
"We normally try and forget about the start of the season," he says. "But this season we've been playing well for a far more prolonged spell than in a long time. Maybe six months now.
"There will be the odd game when it doesn't happen, and it was important for the manager to show us that has been quite rare this time. It helped the lads who had played well earlier in the season but whose form had dipped lately too.
"It was an ultra positive move and it was what we needed."A fraught FA were doing all they could on Thursday to keep a lid on the controversy of Rio Ferdinand going on a 15-hour round trip to Qatar for TV work having withdrawn from the England squad to manage his back problems.But Phil Neville, the latest part-time addition to the FA coaching staff, will be sitting alongside Ferdinand in the Doha headquarters of Al Jazeera on Friday.
Everton's Neville, who will be working as an assistant to England Under 21 boss Stuart Pearce at the European Championship in June, has also been signed up by Al Jazeera to work as a pundit for their Arabic broadcast of San Marino versus England. But Neville going to Qatar during the international break at Al Jazeera's expense - his analyst fee is understood to be around £4,000 - is a lot less contentious than Ferdinand's misconceived venture.Al Jazeera's pulling power is demonstrated by their pundits line-up of Michael Owen, Terry Venables and Alan Shearer for the England versus Montenegro game next Tuesday, albeit for the English language version from their London studio. Ferdinand and Neville's views will be translated into Arabic.David Moyes believes Leon Osman has earned his place in the England squad because the midfielder has been 'carrying' Everton this season.
Osman could add to the cap that he earned against Sweden in November last year if he plays in the upcoming games against San Marino and Montenegro.
Moyes believes the 31-year-old is finally getting the recognition he deserves: "I am delighted for him because he has been one of the players who has carried us for a lot of the season, he really has. Yes, at times he has dipped under his best like all players will do, but so far this season he has been very good.
"It's good that Roy's continued to pick him because he was first picked at a time when he was really in top form [against Sweden in November] but it's been tough for Leon because for a lot of the season he's been the one who's carried the team.
"His performances have been excellent. Whatever we've asked him to do - we've asked him to do different jobs at times - he's done it, he's come up with some important goals and he's had his best season at Everton for me.
"He's been exceptional and I'm delighted he's been given another call up by England."Speaking to everton.co.uk, Moyes expressed his concern over the number of games Osman has played this season.
"Ossie, if you were being fair would probably be the one who, if anyone, could probably do with a week off just now because he's played all the games.
"He's been doing all the fetching and carrying for the team and he's taken a lot of the burden in terms of responsibility this season. We just hope he can keep that going for another couple of months."

Toms Shoes expands 'buy one, give one' to glasses
(Read article summary)The innovative canvas shoe company will now sell eye wear – and donate glasses or eye care to those in need.
ZUMA Press/Newscom
Five years ago, entrepreneur Blake Mycoskie had a canvas-and-rubber-soled epiphany. He would sell fun, fashionable shoes at a moderate price to Americans. For each pair he sold, he'd donate a pair of shoes somewhere in the developing world.
Toms Shoes has been a hit, and Mr. Mycoskie has given away 1 million pairs since 2006.
Last week he announced he'd be expanding into eye wear – a pair of fun and fashionable sunglasses sold to paying customers would underwrite prescription glasses or medical eye care for those in need.
And he doesn't want to stop there. "From this day forward, Toms will no longer just be a shoe company, it will be a one-for-one company," Mycoskie says.
Toms Shoes cost from $44 to $98 and the new sunglasses will run $135 to $145.
"Of the nearly 284 million people in the world who are visually impaired, almost 90 percent live in developing countries," the Toms website says, in explaining the company's "one for one" model. "It's a vicious cycle – poverty and disease can lead to vision loss. And blindness and poor vision keep people trapped in poverty....
