This is pretty cool. Brad Smith's mobile app made the Google Play Store's top ten for "top new paid" category.
Very cool!
Check out my blog! Lambic brewday!Fathom Brewing -TF
Hopefully we can see it in iTunes soon.
"Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza." -Dave Barry
Any reports on how good/functional the app is from any other HBTers? I have free apps and software, just curious if this paid app is worth the $$
I'll test out the timer sunday but so far the cloud recipes work great and the reference section is awesome. Descriptions and substitutions of hops will come in very handy at the lhbs. I just wish I could edit recipes. I have a recipe that is set for 6.25 gallons but I'd like to set it to 5.5 and see where the og ended up but so far that's only possible on the desktop app.
I'm eager to wait for when I can link up my iphone to my desktop on BS2. Plenty of times I come across a recipe and want to change it and sub stuff and my phone would be ideal in the LHBS when I want to change gravities, and such.
---------- Bubba's Backyard Brewery
Grabbed it. I'll sync it up with my desktop program and use it for my next brew, whenever that happens to be. Looking at my cloud recipes on it looks pretty good, though.
Wait, Beersmith made an Android app!!!?? Awesome, I have to check it out, wonder what it's like. I've been using the free Brewzor app and it's absolutely indispensable, the only thing is I wish the developer would update it and charge for it - so I can support him and make him more concerned with updating the thing. I'll check this out. Rev.
For those that don't know, this is the "lite" version, a companion to the desktop version. He is working on a complete / full featured version but it's not ready yet. His site has more info. It was really cool to see it pop up on the Android Play Store. :-)
Can't wait for the iPhone version. Hurry up Apple review team!!!!

E4 Computer Engineering Introduces the CARMA CLUSTER Series Powered by SECO, a New Family of Energy Efficient Solutions Aimed at HPC and Datacenters Users
SCANDIANO, Italy, Nov 13, 2012 (PR Newswire Europe via COMTEX) -- SCANDIANO, Italy, November 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The revolutionary series is the result of a joint effort between E4(R) and SECO(R) to provide a CUDA(R) on ARM(R) (CARMA) low-power platform for applications that rely mainly on GPU computing power.
E4 Computer Engineering, Italian leading manufacturer for HPC environments, has announced the launch of a new series to add to its wide product portfolio, the CARMA CLUSTER series powered by SECO.
The E4 CARMA CLUSTER series powered by SECO offers a range of low-power, low-energy appliances designed to appeal to the HPC world thanks to the pairing of a heterogeneous ARM(R)+GPU (NVIDIA Tegra(R) 3 + Quadro(R) GPU). In fact, with the present generation of ARM CPUs it is not possible to address algorithm based on Floating Points arithmetic, therefore most of scientific application are excluded. CUDA enabled Quadro GPU broadens the range of applications that can be addressed and gives huge boost to performance.
While ARM products are still currently limited by the 32-bit support, early adopters and developers need to start working on real systems to assess the capabilities of these high energy efficient solutions. Leveraging the wide market adoption of the NVIDIA Tegra platform in the mobile space, E4 and SECO have delivered a real, cost effective and competitive server solution with immediate availability.
The series is aimed to seismic processing, signal and image processing, video analytics, traffic analysis and many other applications. The range has two main platforms able to host carrier boards for Qseven(TM) modules, the CARMA MICROCLUSTER and the CARMA CLUSTER [
node=1388 ]. The CARMA MICROCLUSTER comes in a 5U form factor and contains up to 8 CARMA blades and 1 management node (x86 based) while the CARMA CLUSTER is a 3U appliance containing up to 12 CARMA2 blades (high density blades, each CARMA2 blade contains 2 CARMA nodes for a gross total of 2 ARM CPUs + 2 Quadro 1000) or 12 DARMA blades (4 ARM CPUs per blade). DARMA and CARMA2 can be mixed into the same chassis. Also, all blades comply with Qseven standard, so the MB contains only I/O devices while the CPU component can be selected from a wide range of SoC options [
). ], in order to ensure a smooth and progressive transition from the x86 platform into the ARM environment. Qseven technology provides the highest flexibility while decreasing engineering costs, in fact the CPU architecture can be swapped re-using the same carrier board without any modification.
Launching the product at SC12 in Salt Lake City at the ARM's stand (booth #122), E4 Computer Engineering is confident that the CARMA CLUSTER series powered by SECO will easily represent exciting news for the HPC community aiming to achieve great performance results with much less power consumption involved. "We felt an immediate connection with SECO in terms of experimentation and innovation," said Simone Tinti, HPC Team Leader of E4 Computer Engineering- the CARMA DEV kit on which our series is based has proved to be one of the most interesting devices to create low power, low-energy high performance appliances which will be welcomed by all HPC users".

Raiders coach won't face charges
NAPA, Calif. -- Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable won't face charges after being investigated over allegations that he assaulted one of his assistants, ending a two-month saga that was a cloud over the team's season.
Napa County district attorney Gary Lieberstein said Thursday that the investigation concluded no charges were warranted.
"Our duty is to do the right thing for the right reasons," Lieberstein said. "Under the facts and circumstances of this case, it would be a miscarriage of justice to pursue criminal charges and we will not ask our citizens to give up their valuable time for jury duty, nor will we allow our criminal justice system to be compromised."
Cable has denied the charges from the beginning and said shortly before the district attorney's announcement that he trusted in the legal system. Cable said he does not intend to speak to the media again until Friday.
"The Raider organization waited patiently for a comprehensive legal process to conclude and now this matter has been resolved," Raiders spokesman Mike Taylor said. "Our focus has been and remains on the New York Jets."
Commissioner Roger Goodell said last week that criminal charges need not be brought against Cable for the NFL to discipline him if he broke the league's conduct rules.
"We will review the decision announced earlier today by the Napa District Attorney and the facts developed in the underlying investigation," the league said in a statement Thursday. "Following that review, we will take appropriate action, if any, under our policies."
The alleged attack occurred at the team's training camp hotel on Aug. 5 in Napa, after Cable called Randy Hanson into a meeting with defensive coordinator John Marshall and defensive backs coaches Lionel Washington and Willie Brown.
Hanson told Yahoo! Sports this month that Cable came up from behind him and knocked him out of his chair. Hanson said he broke his jaw and cracked two teeth after hitting a table. Hanson also alleged that Cable threatened to kill him before the other coaches pulled him away.
Calls to Hanson's attorney, John McGuinn, were not immediately returned Thursday. He told Comcast Sportsnet California that he did not understand the decision not to press charges.
"All I know is they had abundant evidence to proceed, but they chose not to," McGuinn said. "I don't know why they didn't."
Lieberstein said there was not enough evidence for a jury to convict Cable of any offenses beyond a reasonable doubt.
Lieberstein said interviews with the three assistants established that Cable did not punch Hanson or make any verbal threats. He said evidence showed Cable became angry and rushed toward Hanson, but Washington stepped between the coaches.
Cable ran into Washington, who bumped into Hanson and knocked him out of his chair. The witnesses also told authorities that Cable then grabbed Hanson by the shirt but never struck or threatened him. Cable did not talk to police.
Lieberstein said that because Hanson did not file a police report at the time of the alleged incident, police were unable to search the hotel room for any physical evidence that might have corroborated Hanson's story. He said Hanson did not talk to the police until the end of September, which delayed the case.
"It should be further noted that within the past week and a half, Mr. Hanson showed up unannounced at the police department and made a statement to the effect that since the Raiders had not given him what he asked for, he would now fully cooperate with the prosecution," Lieberstein said.
Lieberstein said there were inconsistencies in what Hanson told the police and what he said in media interviews. He said those were not cleared up in a follow-up interview Wednesday.
"Something happened but even he doesn't know how it happened," Lieberstein said. "I don't even think he has a good idea."
Cable has said the pending case was not a distraction to his coaching, and the players have said it has not been an issue around the team.
"Honestly it hasn't even been in the locker room," receiver Louis Murphy said. "Nobody has really spoke on it. Stuff stays in the locker room. Whatever goes on the outside goes on the outside."

A great lesson from my wife on going for your dreams.
A Lesson about Going for your Dreams from the Blogging Badass Wife http://stevekallock.com/blog/going- for- your- dreams/ February 7, 2013 Going for your dreams reminder from the Badass wife So I just wanted to take this time to brag on the wife. No, I am not in the doghouse. I didn't forget her birthday or our anniversary. And this is not an attempt at getting back into her good graces. I just had to go on record and say…. My badass wif e is making t hings happen. I am just proud of her, and wanted to use this space to honor her. Sometimes Intentions make going for your dreams inevitable The week before Thanksgiving of 2012, Christine was let go from her job. And you can see in the video that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. We had set an intention, to get her out, of that job anyway. I wanted to retire her. And guess what? When you set an intention and put it out there into the world…. ….it has a way of coming true. And sure enough…. ….we got the word just before Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving – You're Fired! You can see we approached it with a sense of humor. And why not? What can you do? Was it a little scary? Of course it was. No one wants to be let go from their job, especially around the holidays. And maybe I am to blame. I was the one that voiced my intentions on a video. And like I mentioned earlier, if you put it out there…. ….the universe has a way of making it happen to where…. ….going f or your dreams is the only option. Picking up the pieces and going f or your dreams For the past 3 years, Christine has been working at night on a project. She would work her Job during the day and then at night work on her passion. And at first, I was not sure about whether it would work. But she kept at it. And she was passionat e about it . She lit up when she discovered something new…. …or came up with a new design. It was awesome to witness. And when you see someone, you love, going for their dream it changes you. So when the news came down that she was no longer employed by corporate America. Two things happened: 1. She immediately felt relief 2. She immediately went to work And she made a decision and t ook massive act ion. And going for your dreams has never looked so good on her. And now her project is about to take off. (Take a look) What did the Blogging Badass learn about going for your dreams Watching my wife go after her passions inspired me to do the same. Going for your dreams is what life is all about. We are not meant to be drones. It is a horrible existence. Maybe you have been there. Maybe you are there now? Maybe you are looking for a way out. I found my passion in this 'simple solution' to online marketing frustration. It is not just about making money, although Empower Network, certainly will help you do that…. ….it is about going f or your dreams. It is about helping people achieve more than they thought they could. It is about empowerment . When you have a sense of purpose, ….and are willing to make a decision…. ….a decision that forces you to take massive action…. ….you are liberated. And you are free to unlock the true person you are meant to be…. ….and to unlock your inner badass and be going for your dreams. We all deserve that.

Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot
Container City: Shipping containers, indispensable tool of the globalized consumer economy, reflect the skyline in Singapore, one of the world's busiest ports.
Topics: Nonfiction, Sex Work, Asia, Love and Sex, Books, Entertainment News
In his history of the erotic obsession Western men have felt toward "the Orient," Richard Bernstein begins with what must have been the most inflammatory example he could find: A blog titled "Sex in Shanghai: Western Scoundrel in Shanghai Tells All," in which an individual referring to himself only as "ChinaBounder" boastfully recounted his many sexual trysts with Chinese women. A foreign teacher of English, the blogger mostly recruited his partners from among his former students, and they included at least one married woman, a doctor. ChinaBounder's crowing provoked what Bernstein describes as a "murderously furious response" from Chinese men, who reviled him as a "white ape." But they reserved the brunt of their anger for his lovers, accusing their countrywomen of behavior that "humiliates the hearts of Chinese men, as well as of the Chinese people."
After a few disclaimers about the imperfect truthfulness of anonymous confessional blogs and offering his opinion that ChinaBounder's successes would not be "easy to duplicate," Bernstein observes that nevertheless, "there is something to what he said, something about an advantage that Western men have in the competition for the favors of young women there." "The East, the West and Sex" is Bernstein's history of how that advantage has played out since the days of Marco Polo. As a result of this edge, "the East" (which he defines broadly, ranging from North Africa, to India and the Middle East, to Southeast and East Asia) has for centuries represented "a domain of special erotic fascination and fulfillment for Western men."
The subject is squirm-inducing, whether you are a Chinese man with a humiliated heart or a Western woman feeling obscurely spurned or, for that matter, even if you're a Western man enthralled, as Bernstein himself seems to be, by the image of the quintessential Asian nymph, with her "long silky hair, smooth nut-brown skin, and a perfume of orange and spice on her breath" — and feeling kinda defensive about it. To write about the penchant of certain Western men for Asian women is to invite prurient speculation (Bernstein has a Chinese wife, in case you're wondering — and you know you were) as well as incendiary condemnations from several fronts and on several grounds. The topic is mined with tripwires attached to a host of uncomfortable thoughts about race, power, sexuality, gender and history.
Bernstein (a columnist for the International Herald Tribune and former China correspondent for Time magazine) negotiates this territory with great delicacy and considerable historical knowledge — which makes this elegantly written book doubly frustrating, as it's not always clear exactly what he's trying to say. The rage of the men who objected to ChinaBounder is, as Bernstein readily admits, founded in resentment against Western colonialism, a history in which the handing over of Asian women's bodies to Western men was merely the most intimate manifestation of a conquest that also demanded the surrender of Asian land, labor and wealth. No American, he astutely points out, would be so incensed if an Asian "bounder" wrote an online diary listing all the Iowan farm girls and Southern belles he seduced, "simply because," Bernstein writes, "there is no particular interest in the topic." OK, well maybe not no interest, but it wouldn't unpack the same cultural baggage.
As far as I can boil it down, Bernstein wishes to argue that the history of liaisons between Eastern women and Western men should not be condemned out of hand. In spite of the undeniable backdrop of injustice and exploitation, some of these encounters have been a Good Thing, offering to the men a reprieve from the repressive sexual morality of the Christian West and to the women a chance at a less traditionally patriarchal relationship than they might have had with many of their countrymen. There may be manifest inequities between these couples, but their trysts have sometimes blossomed into real affection, tenderness and love.
There's a complicated and fundamentally unsound historical algorithm at the heart of this argument, which may explain why Bernstein (no fool) tends to pussyfoot around it. It depends on a familiar villain — Christian sexual puritanism in the form of the insistence on monogamous marriage as the only virtuous context for sex. Nobody likes puritanism these days, and even if you'd prefer to think that monogamy is an achievable ideal for some couples, it's hard to disagree with Bernstein's argument that it's not a particularly "realistic" institution in which to confine the sexuality of many people, particularly men. By contrast, he observes, Eastern religious traditions have not associated sexual transgression with sin and the corrosive guilt that attends upon it. Eastern cultures partake of "harem culture," that is, they pragmatically tolerate institutions through which men can find sexual gratification with multiple women without suffering from the profound moral condemnation heaped on sinners in the West.
The Western erotic imagination has been piqued by the idea of harems since it began to receive travelers' reports of the Ottoman sultan's wives and concubines in the 1600s. Bernstein explores the various fantastic accounts and depictions of "the secrets of the harem" that titillated Europeans for centuries, though not, strangely enough, harem-themed pornography (possibly because the availability of erotica in Europe tends to undermine his picture of the West as sexually deprived). Polygamy, courtesans, concubinage and legal prostitution are all practices that Bernstein includes under the rubric of "harem culture," a useful enough concept. Western men who traveled east in the early days of exploration and colonialism more often than not availed themselves of these institutions, obtaining native "wives" and patronizing brothels whether or not they had "real" wives back in Europe. Furthermore, their Eastern hosts often encouraged such activities, offering young women in trade for goods or as welcoming gifts.
The famous Westerners who took enthusiastic advantage of these opportunities included Richard Burton (a 19th-century explorer and translator of "The Arabian Nights" — an unexpurgated translation that furthered the image of the East as a sexual smorgasbord) and the French novelist Gustave Flaubert, who tore through the prostitutes of Egypt at an impressive pace, recording every detail of the experience, during a visit in his early 20s. Colonial officials in India, Japan, Southeast Asia and Algeria readily adopted the local custom of expecting female servants to service them sexually as well as domestically, and Bernstein repeats the story of a British army captain whose window overlooked a school for "half-caste" girls and who, upon seeing one he liked, simply ordered her up for 80 rupees (the price included a premium because she was a virgin) via the intermediary of his butler.
Needless to say, such options were not available to army captains back in England. Also, there was the "surrounding sensuousness" of India or the "gorgeous and refined demimonde" of Japan, and even the "fabulous, lubricious and grotesque" red light district of current-day Bangkok, whose colors, noises and excesses all testified to the fact that this was not home, and home's rules did not apply here. People of all backgrounds do things abroad that they would never do in their own towns. In the East, what Western men found was, to use Bernstein's term, "fulfillment," a sexual freedom they were denied in their home countries, which he characterizes as "the domain of restriction and repression."
However, sexual freedom, to a greater and more intimate degree than any other freedom, is a paradoxical thing. Unless you're talking about masturbation, then someone else — a human being with his or her own desires and dislikes — is involved. If you define sexual freedom as being able to do whatever you want with whomever you please, then (except in very rare cases of perfect compatibility with one's partner at every moment) one man's freedom is another woman's compulsion. Women in traditional harem cultures languished in a condition of de facto slavery, where they had no right to determine anything about their own lives, let alone their sexual partners and activities. Their very survival was predicated on pleasing men. They were treated for the most part as animate commodities, like livestock, to be bought, sold and discarded at will. And if Eastern men's adulterous shenanigans were regarded as "natural," in women such behavior was punishable by extreme social ostracism and frequently by death.
Bernstein is, as I mentioned, no fool, and so of course he knows and acknowledges this, but there is a sense in which it's not entirely real to him; he is constantly asking the reader to temporarily set aside any objections regarding the utter powerlessness of the female participants in this "freedom" so that we can contemplate for a moment how liberating it must have been for the men. And he sets great store by the exceptions. Yes, it's possible that genuinely warm feelings and even love sometimes arose between men and women in these situations, just as it's possible that African-American slaves and their masters' families sometimes felt fondness and loyalty toward each other, or that soldiers from an occupying army might befriend local residents. It's in the nature of humanity that we can occasionally connect in spite of harsh circumstances. But that doesn't really ameliorate the fundamental injustice of those circumstances.
The biggest problem with Bernstein's formula by which Eastern women get more respect from Western men who in turn receive better sex is that, as Bernstein himself admits on more than one occasion, Eastern women didn't enjoy substantially better treatment from Western men until fairly recently. If, as several of the Asian women Bernstein interviews seem to think, Western men treat women with more respect than Asian men do, it's because Western women have demanded baseline changes in Western attitudes, customs and laws. One of those changes was a radical scaling back of the double standard (a phrase that, astonishingly enough, Bernstein never even mentions in "The East, the West and Sex"), with the result that premarital sex has become a widespread and completely unremarkable activity in America and Europe today.
So there was never really a historical moment in which Bernstein's proposed trade-off actually worked. Western men happily treated Asian women as badly as Asian men did (and sometimes worse) until cultural changes in the West began to instill in them a greater regard for the human dignity of women and simultaneously removed much of the sexual repression that supposedly drove them away from the West to begin with. Bernstein's cherished notion of a gentle, forgiving complementarity of need reached between the Western male and the Eastern female in the private sanctuary of the bedroom is a sentimental red herring that makes little sense in the age of ChinaBounder.
The most pervasive paradigm for the East-West erotic reverie, as even Bernstein is forced to realize as he roams the streets of Bangkok, interviewing 73-year-old American men with 22-year-old Thai "girlfriends," is prostitution. The power and wealth of Westerners — officials of colonial Britain, American GIs stationed in Vietnam, European expats in Thailand — when introduced into poor Asian societies where women have few other options, makes commercial sex pretty much inevitable. For all the rhapsodies about silken hair, "surrounding sensuousness," esoteric erotic arts and the ultrafemininity of Asian women, it is this economic imbalance that makes places like Bangkok so magnetic to Western men. A dollar goes much further there, whether you're buying hours of someone's labor at a sweatshop sewing machine or sexual services.
When Bernstein writes of Western men who'd never dream of visiting a prostitute back home but regularly do so in Asia, he says it's because Asian prostitutes are "sweet, affectionate," and "unmarred by the businesslike qualities of common sex-for-sale workers in the West," who are supposed to be "sleazy, mercenary, cold, depraved, and vaguely intimidating" (though how the men would know this having never visited them is unclear — it seems to be the way they view all Western women). Of course, there are plenty of Western call girls who can and do behave sweetly and affectionately, it's just that the men who flock to Bangkok's red light districts can't afford them. The difference is less cultural than economic: "Do the arithmetic," a grizzled Vietnam vet who has settled in Thailand said to Bernstein, nodding toward his girlfriend. "She's 51 years younger than me. Do you think I could have somebody like her in Pennsylvania?"
One of the reasons "The East, the West and Sex" is so intellectually muddled is that Bernstein's understanding of prostitution and sex work in general is not only clouded by sentimentality but mired in the past. "The standard, morally correct view of the Western exploitation of the East for sexual purpose," he writes, "is that it was mostly a form of prostitution and prostitution is always unjust and degrading." This may be true if your grasp of the issue derives entirely from a Yale women's studies course taken in 1980, but times — and feminism — have changed. A lot.
It seems to be particularly difficult for Bernstein to conceive of prostitution as a trade or profession rather than as a condition or identity. As he writes several times in "The East, the West and Sex," Western men would discover that Eastern cultures tended to "accept that there would be a certain class of women whose role in the world was to satisfy male sexual desire and that the satisfaction of male sexual desire was natural and moral." This statement is disingenuous, since there is no culture in which prostitutes are not stigmatized to some degree, even when prostitution itself is not regarded as sinful. That's why a "class" of women needed to be relegated to doing it. If there were truly, as Bernstein weakly tries to claim of India, "no opprobrium" attached to the work of a prostitute, courtesan or mistress, then no man would mind his daughter becoming one or his son marrying one. Instead, even when the men hiring prostitutes are permitted to feel "natural and moral," the women hired are expected to be ashamed.
Given the personal incompatibilities that exist even in relatively sexually free societies, there will always be a market for sexual services, and the women (and men) who provide them would be best served by removing the social stigma attached to the work so that they can pursue it in safety as the skilled trade it is. Do they have ample, decent employment alternatives to prostitution, so that if they choose it, they do so freely? Do they get to keep most of their own earnings? Do they have access to adequate healthcare? Are they able to dictate the conditions of their work, such as insisting on condoms, ruling out certain activities, rejecting certain clients, taking time off? Can they count on the police to protect them from violence and abuse? Do they earn enough to enable them to save for a future when they will age out of the profession?
Although no nation's prostitutes enjoy all of these conditions, Thailand's sex workers have proven to be particularly smart at utilizing the few advantages accorded them. "The East, the West and Sex" recounts a typical story of a young bar girl who persuaded a besotted, much older Austrian client to marry her and build her a house. Since by law houses and land can only be owned by Thai citizens, the deed was in her name, giving her the economic clout to commandeer the house and move in her real boyfriend (Thai, her own age). The husband's plight illustrates a phenomenon that could be called the John's Dilemma: If you go into a relationship expecting to get everything you want exactly how you want it regardless of what the other person might herself desire, don't expect her to take your feelings into much account should the tables be turned. You get no more than you pay for; compliance is not love.
Of course, the vast majority of Asian women who choose Western men as partners aren't prostitutes; ChinaBounder was not, after all, paying his middle-class girlfriends to sleep with him, even if he was taking advantage of the aura of glamor and wealth surrounding foreigners in China. What's strangely missing from the ChinaBounder kerfuffle is any consideration of what the women got out of it, although Bernstein managed to ask some of their cohort what's so attractive about Western men. Some told him that Asian men insisted on traditional feminine deference and self-sacrifice, while others copped to viewing Western men as, um, sexually exotic. It's unclear whether ChinaBounder's partners took their trysts with him as lightly as he did; perhaps they simply found the sex pleasurable and exciting, and to judge by an e-mail he sent to the married doctor ("How beautiful you are, how sexy, how perfect!") he certainly knows how to woo a girl.
At any rate, women like ChinaBounder's partners are finally in a position to choose for themselves, a position that all too few women around the world enjoy even today. (The real gauge of the sexual freedom of a society isn't the liberty accorded to its men, after all, but the liberty accorded to its women.) Meanwhile, the Chinese men who denounce them as "worse than prostitutes," indignant at being evaluated according to the sort of superficial criteria they've applied to women for millennia, are undergoing an awakening nearly as rude as the one suffered by that elderly Austrian cuckold in Thailand. Turnabout is indeed a bitch.
News flash: Given their druthers, most women, Eastern or Western, would really rather not be locked into relationships designed primarily to cater to the other person's needs. Show them an out, and they will take it. However, some of the Western men Bernstein describes — the ones who favor Asian women because they consider them less "demanding" than their Western counterparts — shouldn't let themselves get too comfortable, either. Demands and the expectations that drive them are, like marketplaces, highly subject to change, as ChinaBounder's Chinese rivals have learned to their dismay. The girl you could never have in Pennsylvania may someday be the girl you can't have in Bangkok, either. It seems the price — genuine love founded in true equality and respect– is more than you're willing to pay.

Synchronizing data with the Git-annex Assistant
Git Exchange
Git-annex Assistant is a handy web interface that lets you use the power of Git to synchronize data across several computers.
Git-annex comes directly from the heart of the Linux ecosystem. It lets users manage files in a Git repository and sync them across multiple devices, such as an encrypted archive in the cloud or a backup on an external hard drive or SSH server. Once you have mastered Git-annex, you can accomplish these tasks with ease.
The abundance of options may deter some people from using the tool. This fear is countered by the Git-annex Assistant front end, which hides the complexity behind a modern web interface.
Although packages are available for the most common distributions like Debian, Fedora, and Ubuntu, these usually lag far behind the current state of development. Debian "Wheezy" and Ubuntu "Precise" have version 3.2 in their repositories, which does not yet support the Assistant. Ubuntu "Trusty" at least comes with version 5.2, but because of the fast pace of development, it makes more sense to install the precompiled binary archives [1].

Rolon unlocks the apartment door. She leaves the bags of food on the floor in the kitchen and lowers herself, grimacing, onto her mattress. It's almost 5:00 p.m. Yamilet isn't yet home from work, and Carlos has probably gone to pick up young Alex from a neighbor's house. She pulls her shirt off and puts on a satiny turquoise housecoat. Then she takes a deep breath and pain radiates through her left breast. She intends to make a doctor's appointment, but hasn't yet.
Four boxes of her possessions are stacked in the kitchen and adjoining hallway, but six more had to be stored outside on the tiny front porch, next to an old sofa that also doesn't fit inside. Carlos and Yamilet often sit there together in the evenings, keeping an eye on Alex as he plays in the yard.
Rolon says she hasn't even opened most of the boxes and doesn't know when she will. The manager of the motel where she last lived threw out whatever wasn't boxed, but Rolon can't remember what she has and what she has lost. She just knows she's down to ten boxes and a rack of clothes.
Now that it looks as though she may soon be able to rent a place of her own, the immense foreboding that had been draining her for weeks has eased. But she'll never let herself be certain of anything anymore. "I've lost my home, my dignity -- everything," she declares, forearms folded tight over her stomach. "Do you know what that feels like? Do you know how many times I've started all over again?

I've recently received an email about a code snippet I've provided in Ayende's post. Ayende, as usual, provided a simple yet good code for this problem. Mine is more complex way of doing this, but i like the pattern behind it.
You should be aware that there is no way to make DateTime.Now stop(if you don't want to touch system clock and run your test in virtual environment, of course). You have to abstract it.
public class TimeAbstractionTests { public TimeAbstractionTests() { CallContext.SetData(Constants.CONTEXT_STORE_KEY,null); } [Fact] public void Time_should_set_to_System_time_for_first_time() { DateTime x = Time.Now; Assert.Equal(DateTime.Now, Time.Now); } [Fact] public void Time_set_to_system_time_when_only_system_time_is_selected() { using(Clock.System()) { Assert.Equal(DateTime.Now, Time.Now); } } [Fact] public void Time_should_freeze_when_frozen_time_is_selected() { DateTime frozenTime=new DateTime(2011,11,11); using (Clock.Frozen(frozenTime)) { Assert.Equal(frozenTime, Time.Now); } } [Fact] public void Time_should_nest() { DateTime frozenTime = new DateTime(2011, 11, 11); using (Clock.Frozen(frozenTime)) { Assert.Equal(frozenTime, Time.Now); using (Clock.System()) { Assert.Equal(DateTime.Now, Time.Now); using (Clock.Frozen(frozenTime)) { Assert.Equal(frozenTime, Time.Now); } } } } }
This tells what I'd like to achieve pretty well. I want one FrozenTime, one System time, and I want them to nest(no specific reason actually)
For nesting, Stack<T> structure should be used. Everytime I ask for a Clock, it puts the demanded Time into stack stored in CallContext, and Time.Now thing takes the latest ITime instance from that stack.
Implementation for FrozenTime and DefaultTime is simple, here they are.
public class FrozenTime:ITime { public FrozenTime(DateTime now) { this.now = now; } private readonly DateTime now; #region ITime Members public DateTime Now { get { return now; } } #endregion }public class DefaultTime:ITime { #region ITime Members public DateTime Now { get { return DateTime.Now; } } #endregion }
Now it comes to the Time class. As I said, it gets the topmost ITime(using Peek(), since we don't want to remove) instance from the stack and invokes .Now on it.
public static class Time { public static DateTime Now { get { Stack<ITime> timeStack = (Stack<ITime>) CallContext.GetData(Constants.CONTEXT_STORE_KEY); if (timeStack == null||timeStack.Count==0) { Clock.System(); timeStack = (Stack<ITime>) CallContext.GetData(Constants.CONTEXT_STORE_KEY); } return timeStack.Peek().Now; } } }
Clock class is where I say that I want xxxxTime to be active during the scope. In order to support using(Clock.System()) like usage, I must have something IDisposable. I would have implemented IDisposable for ITime implementations, but it violates SRP so I choose another way.
public class Clock { public static IDisposable System() { var time = new DefaultTime(); PushIntoStack(time); return new DisposeCallback(PopFromStack); } . . . . . . }
As you see, when somebody calls .Dispose() in callback(which is done at the end of using() structure) it pops the latest ITime instance.
This is definitely more work than Ayende's solution, but I like this way more.

Hey fellas, Thanks abunch for the info. I'll finish up the plane tonight.
Yes, the packs are the same. Both never used, Kokam 2000 3s packs. I'll be using a Triton. As mentioned above... are there any steadfast rules about making your own larger packs, i.e. Series first then parallel???? Thanks again, Mike |

In general when building multi "S" and "P" packs, its suggested to parallel before series.
You could also build parallel "modules" to join in series externally. As RD and Luc can further explain, this is likely the safest and most flexible way to build packs on your own for a variety of configurations. |

It's been done both ways, so there are no "steadfast rules". Experience has shown that it is generally better to go parallel first, then parallel sets in series, for the reasons given in posts 2 and 3. Also, see post #s1-3: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...ks#post2347381 But, IMO, The best way to wire packs in the light of all experience to date, for reasons of safety and reliability with simple, straightforward hardware, is the way luc does it, using Multiplex plugs. Luc, I wish you would publish a set of photos of your connections to each cell and each plug, referenced to a a wiring diagram, for folks who are starting out in eflight and need step-by-step instructions. Heres the way I wire my plugs: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=236246 And heres what my 3-cell packs look like (safe and functional, but lucs are much neater): http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...3&postcount=28 - RD |
Jul 04, 2004, 10:56 AM | |
Thanks for the info and photos. My applications typically involve squeezing 10 lbs. sausage in a 2 lb. sack - so I will require soldering the connections, with no room for the plugs and extra wireing.
As I mentioned, I have been combining individual 3s and 2s packs with the cells soldered to pcb's (kokam or from aircraftworld) in parallel. Does anyone make a commercial pcb which joins cells in parallel? My experience indicates that the pcb's protect the cell tabs better and packs can be built more compact with out wires running along the side of the pack. |
Jul 04, 2004, 11:12 AM | |
I don't have the capabilities you have on drawings... But the connection is ez: each mpx plug has 6 connection; in order to be able to draw a max of 45A, you need to join 3 connectors on each side. Then you clhoose between a // connection (only for charging, you don't need big wires as 3 wires will go on the main plug) and serie (for discharge). In that case, use thicker wire (13 ga is ok). |
Jul 04, 2004, 04:46 PM | |
Heres how I do it similar to LUC

We have long been making the case to Government for the introduction of measures aimed at MSBs, the real engine room of GDP growth in the UK economy. The Treasury listened, and have acted.

Paul Dossett Head of Local Government
Given recent proposed changes to the patent box tax relief, it was a shame that the Chancellor made no specific mention of the future of the patent box. However an increase in R&D expenditure credit from 10% to 11% is welcome.
Dominic Preston Head of Innovation
03/12/2014 16:16
Positive news that the Chancellor echoed our calls for encouraging international expansion with £45m support to first time exporters to new territories. Although could have gone further and introduced an R&D like tax credit.

Some surprise announcements for the property industry including the abolition of the slab system of SDLT for residential property, significantly impacting people across the UK on purchases of the family home.
Kersten Muller Real Estate Tax Partner
It is interesting that the UK is adopting a restriction of banks' use of brought forward tax losses, and raises the question whether this will permit a revision to bank levy policy.
Richard Milnes Financial Services Tax Partner
I am delighted that HMRC have taken the positive step to support MSBs through a gateway to specialist tax help and named individuals when transitioning through a business change.

- Peter Tomczak I went to my local South Croydon branch on Limpsfield Road. I dealt with Michael and found him to be very professional and honest. He charged me a fair price for the work but managed to turn the work around very quickly and efficiently. They even gave me a free car valet. Thanks

- Jo Brown Good, quick and friendly service. I always use Ken's Autos for our MOT as I know they are reliable and trustworthy.
- Natalie Williams Superb… came to Kens Autos after my car broke down; I was very distressed and nervous as many garages have bad reputations… I am a single woman but this made no difference to the staff. They had the utmost respect for me and I was dealt with professionally, Michael, the manager, calmed me down and made me feel very comfortable using the company. Great service, great price, and the car is running perfectly. Thank you Ken's Autos and thank you Michael.
- Anthony Fantastic service and most of all, great prices. I felt a bit intimidated at first as most garages are the same but I can safely say this time it was different, Michael Anastasi the manager quickly got my car in and repaired the problems. I can see why the business runs as well as it does with a manager like that… many thanks Ken's Autos
- Catherine HuntI Took my car for an MOT, which failed. The guys ordered the new parts there and then, fitted them, washed my car and because I could not wait for the work to be done, they brought it back to my home address for me. Excellent service, THANKS GUYS.
- Lee Middleton I used Ken's Autos for the first time last week when my car broke down at the roadside, I dealt with Stuart and George and found them professional, exceptionally helpful and very fairly priced. On collection of my car I found they had discounted the quoted price and even valeted my car free of charge. Many thanks Ken's Autos and well done!!!
- Greg Etchells Went to the Sanderstead branch and found Michael to be professional, courteous and genuine. He helped go through the relevant repairs for my vehicle, which is a rare trait in a manager. Would definitely go back there.

Re: Caldwells our new
So the Ravens filled the void of a QB coach, who are they signing to be the QB there? lol
Re: Caldwells our new
Thank god. We did not need the train wreck who was never an OC here calling our plays. At the end of the day, it is either going to Clements or Fitscher (sp.?). I find it very awkward that GB hasn't promoted Clements. Gives me a false sense of hope that we can get him from them.
Re: Caldwells our new
Re: Caldwells our new
I still think Fichtner's going to get a shot, but we'll see.
I wish they'd get this deal done with whomever. The new guy's going to need all the time to prepare that he can have. Everybody else is getting their deals done and over with. I'm glad though...i didn't want Caldwell either. |
Re: Caldwells our new
Re: Caldwells our new
They stole him from us because they knew we were interested. THANK GOD.
