So I'm having some difficulty with my valves and relay board. I bought a 8 relay module board 12V see ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/250609010929...84.m1423.l2649 And I have some 12V ball valves: http://www.tf-valvefittings.com/goods-2.html I have a 12V 2A power supply going into the VDD and GND of the relay board. On the BCS 462 I select Output 0 and the green light on the relay board lights up but no action on the valve. A multimeter check shows that 12V is on the board but I'm not getting 12V through the relay. I have the Green wire to NO, Black to Channel 1 and Red to NC. If the relay light is on I get about 100mV on the NO side and 0mV on the NC slide. If the light is off, I get reverse (0mV on NO side and 100mV on NC side). Any ideas?
I looked at the ball valve diagram and you need to apply voltage in one direction to open and apply voltage the other direction to close the valve. I suggest that you try operating the valve with straight 12V first then try switching the voltage in with relays. Also, to make this valve work correctly you will need to use two relays, with the relay commons wired to the valve and the relay NO & NC connections alternately wired to 12VDC and ground. I'm not doing gas because I don't have natural gas at the house & propane is too expensive, but if I were I don't believe I would be using a solenoid that required a voltage to close because it's not fail safe. I'd use something like one of these that requires voltage to stay open, so that if I loose power the solenoid snaps shut.http://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-12V-1-4-I...item2ec756fc7c
This is just for liquids, not for gas. I did try and place the Black into the GND and the red and green into the VDD side (not at the same time). The ball valve does start moving (open for green and close for red). I had thought that the voltages on the output side of the relay would be in the 12V range when I click on the output in the BCS, but they're nowhere near that, which is why the ball valve isn't moving.
Are you also supplying 12V to the circuit you are switching with the relay?
My wiring is like the image attached.
OK, the relay does not supply power to anything, it switches a independent outside power source between the NO and NC contacts. Connect one side of your 12VDC C4 terminal and the other side to the valve common terminal and it will work.
I'm sorry I'm not following you. So for instance connect the Green wire from the valve into NO4, but where do the Red and Black wires go?
Disconnect the wire that runs from the solenoid to the relay C4 terminal from C4 and connect it to the GND terminal of the relay board. You will now have two wires under the GND terminal, one from -12VDC and one from the valve BK terminal. Run a new wire from the relay C4 terminal to the relay board VDD terminal. You will now have two wires under the VDD terminal, one from +12VDC and one from the relay C4 terminal. If the solenoid works opposite of what you want, swap the green & red wires that are attached to the NO4 & NC4 terminals around.
You are my hero!
Updated drawing that actually works. Thank you tphjr!

US 4837969 A Abstract Insect bait stations which can be manufactured and packaged in blister pack arrays, each station having an apertured, multi-lobed cover which is fitted over a base having a central bait well, formed by a ramped structure and inner walls intersecting the ramped structure which serve as guides to direct an insect toward the bait.
Claims(4) 1. A bait station comprising a base portion and a cover portion, said base portion further comprising:
a peripheral flat floor; an inner ramp structure angled upwardly and inwardly from the inner periphery of the floor to create a central well area; a plurality of wall structures extending radially inward perpendicular to the floor spaced at intervals around and intersecting the ramp structure; and a plurality of indentations spaced at intervals around the ramp structure, said cover further comprising: a peripheral flat section for contacting the corresponding peripheral flat floor of the base portion; a multilobed structure rising above said flat section, the number of such lobes corresponding to the number of wall structures of the base so that, upon assembly of the device, an inner wall structure extends medially through each lobe, said cover having therein a plurality of apertures for insect access, said apertures being positioned along radially oriented sides of said lobes. 2. A bait station according to claim 1, the base and cover of which are formed of plastically deformable material.
3. A bait station according to claim 1 wherein the ramp section of the base portion has a plurality of indentations therein which mate with corresponding inner projections of the multilobed structure of the cover portion.
4. A bait station according to claim 3 wherein the multilobed structure of the cover is tripartite and the base portion has three inner walls and three notches in the ramp section.
Description This device relates to the field of devices for control of insects and, more particularly, to a simple, inexpensive, yet safe device for containing a bait poisonous to insects in such a manner that insects have access to the bait yet the bait is doubly protected from being accessed by humans or animals. Many devices for holding a poisonous bait to control crawling insects are known, ranging from simple cardboard tubes open at both ends with the bait glued inside to more elaborate structures that have a centrally enclosed bait accessible by peripheral openings. Early insect traps, as stated, lacked features to prevent access to the poisoned bait. Examples are U.S. Pat. No. 1,372,780, which discloses a bellshaped top having side apertures, which fits over and clamps to a dish shaped base, and U.S. Pat. No. 2,123,995, which discloses a flat piece of sheetmetal which is bent over an insecticidal substance to partially cover the substance while allowing insects direct access. U.S. Pat. No. 4,563,836 to Woodruff et al. discloses an insect feeding station comprised of a simple cover which fits over a base, the base having external wall segments with entrance gaps between them and interior walls placed opposite the gaps and surrounding a central bait area. The outer walls of the present invention are formed by the cover; the entrance apertures are oriented at an angle to the required line of approach to the bait, and a ramped structure surrounds the bait well. U.S. Pat. Nos. 278,032 and 278,842 discloses designs for insect feeding stations, simliar to those of the '836 patent, having a cover over a base with baffle means. Pending U.K. patent application No. GB2128463A, discloses an insect feeding station having an aperture-containing cover placed over a base, the base having baffle means for directing an insect toward the central bait section. There is no teaching of a central ramp structure surrounding a bait well. Pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/069,338 to Demarest et al. discloses an insect bait device which has two substantially identical housing portions which are joined together to enclose an insecticide, the two housing portions together forming access apertures for insects. The possibility of multiple unit array manufacture is disclosed. There are three main features that are desirable in such a trap: the bait containing area must securely hold the bait so that no bait can become dislodged from the device; the bait should be inaccessible even should a child attempt to probe the device with a stick or other object; the device should be so constructed that insects have easy access to the bait. Obviously these features are somewhat opposed, i.e., the structure allowing the most direct access for insects would also allow an animal or a curious child access to the poison. Another desirable feature would be a device that would be easy and inexpensive to manufacture. Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide a bait station that provides a secure location for the bait that is inaccessible to children or animals. It is also an object of the invention to provide a bait station that allows insects easy access to the bait. It is a further object of the invention to provide a bait station that can be easily and cheaply manufactured. In this invention, the insect bait is placed in a central well formed by a ramp structure rising out of a base. The base also has walls that are perpendicular to the bottom of the base and extend radially inward toward the central well, intersecting the ramp structure. A cover position with apertures for bait access fits over the base portion. The cover portion is formed into a plurality of lobes extending radially from the center in such a way that the center of the cover is positioned over the central bait well of the base and each wall rising from the base fits into a lobe of the cover portion. The apertures of the cover portion are located along the inner sides of these lobes in such way that an object or insect entering the aperture is directed into the face of the inner base wall and a turn of approximately 90� must be made to approach the central bait well. After such a turn, the insect must climb the ramp to reach the bait. Thus the bait is doubly protected from access by any object that a curious child might thrust therein. Access to the bait, by animals or children, is impossible since the bait is protected by the turn, the ramp, and the small size of the apetures. The design of this station allows several of the bait station units to be formed attached to each other. Formation of the units in arrays on a web makes manufacture of the units easier and cheaper. Over such an array of the assembled units, a top preformed cover sheet can be fitted and attached to form a blister pack from which individual bait station units can be released by pressure on the top cover area over each unit. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the assembled bait station. FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the base portion and the cover portion of the station. FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the base portion of the station. FIG. 4 is a side view of the base portion taken along line 4--4 shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the cover portion of the station. FIG. 6 is a side view of the cover portion taken along line 66 shown in FIG. 5. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the assembled station taken along line 7--7 of FIG. 1. FIG. 8 shows a partially exploded view of an array of the stations and the top cover sheet for the array. FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of cover 30 which is sitting over base 10. Both base 10 and cover 30 are seamless, each being formed from an individual piece of deformable material. Base 10 is shown in FIGS. 3 (top view) and 4 (side view). Base 10 has a peripheral flat portion, 12. From flat portion 12 rise perpendicularly inner walls 14 which extend from the periphery of base 10 toward the central area or well 18. Well 18 is defined by a surrounding ramped structure 16 which also rises from flat portion 12. Inner walls 14 intersect ramp structure 16 and stop at the periphery of well 18. Ramped structure 16 is also indented by notches 20. Cover 30, shown in FIG. 5 (top view) and FIG. 6 (side view), has a peripheral flat area 32 and has a plurality of lobes 34 formed by outer wall 36 and a somewhat flattened top 38. Outer wall 36 defines entrance apertures 40 near the ends of lobes 34. Outer wall 36 forms an inward pointing angle 42 where two adjoining lobes 34 converge. When cover 30 is placed over base 10, inner walls 14 are aligned within lobes 34 as shown by FIG. 2 (exploded view) and FIG. 7 (sectional view). Outer wall angles 42 fit into the corresponding notches 20 in the ramp structure 16 which surrounds well 18. Operation of the bait station is best described by reference to FIG. 2. An insect desiring to reach bait placed inside well 18 would enter the device by any of the apertures 40. It would then be facing inner wall 14. It would then have to make a turn of approximately 90� and proceed parallel to inner wall 14 to reach well 18. But before reaching well 18, the insect would have to climb ramp structure 16. Any object that a curious child (or adult) might poke into aperture 40 would have to follow the same route--turn and then climb--to come in contact with the bait in well 18. The chance of an object being thrust into the device and being used to remove bait is almost negligible. The particular embodiment of this invention described and shown has the overall shape of a hexagon with three lobes, three inner walls, and three notches and angles. This form of the invention is ideally suited for multiple-array formation for manufacture and sale of the bait trap. One such possible array is portrayed in FIG. 8, which shows an array 50 of 6 units. For packaging, this array is overlaid with a separate top cover 60, corresponding in shape and number of units to the actual bait station array which is then attached to the array. Patent Citations

Denver Development Screening Test (DDST)

DDST; Denver II
The Denver Developmental Screening Test, first published in 1967 (Frankenburg & Dodds, 1967), was one of the first screening tools developed to identify young children at risk for developmental delay and disability. It's format was similar to the construction of pediatric growth charts, with 105 developmental items for children from birth to 6 years of age aligned chronologically along horizontal age lines, divided into four discrete developmental domains: personal-social, fine motor-adaptive, language, and gross motor. Bar graphs for each developmental item reflect the ages at which 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% of typically developing children in the standardization sample completed the task. Because of criticisms related to low sensitivity in identifying children with speech and language delays, it was revised to add more language items, restandardized, and remarketed as the Denver II in 1992 (Frankenburg, Dodds, Archer, Shapiro, & Bresn ...

Cryptic, two reasons why you should allow UI modding

Join Date: Dec 2007

/signed - mostly because I dislike the very limited amount of native customization to the UI.
Dear Cryptic (and MODers),
Usually when one thinks of a gamer, they envision a very nimble-fingered, sharp-eyed person. Do I fit that bill? Nope! Im a half-blind, monkey-pawed person who is finding that the very limited customization of STOs UI severely hampering to the fun factor, especially as I advance in levels and have more things to manage. MODs could help with this... OR, alternatively, the STO basic UI could have greater customization... either would really increase my enjoyment of the game.
Things that Id like to see from either a MOD or STO:
Scalable/Hide options for the Ships Weapons
Scalable Team Status (smaller or larger)
Scalable Personal Status (smaller or larger)
Vertical/Horizontal options of Ships Throttle
Scalable Ship Throttle (smaller or larger)
Vertical/Horizontal options of Personal Tray
Detached Personal Tray bars (3 trays = 3 bars at different locations around the HUD)
Scalable Ship Hull, Shield and Crew Status (smaller)
Scalable/Hide options Ship Power Level
Ability to have 3 Personal Trays, Ship Weapons, and Bridge Crew up all at the same time
Scalable Bridge Crew

The famine may have had something to do with it; records are hard to come by. My grandfather Caldwell was born in 1819, but there's no birth certificate because, until much later in that century, the indigenous Irish were not included in censuses, like the slaves in America.

The community commends the brave police officers who risked their lives to rescue a 65-year-old man from a burning vehicle yesterday.
Tumon's beaches and streets are a bit safer, for residents and visitors to our island, thanks to a partnership between the Guam Visitors Bureau and G4S, a private security company.
Guam has a dearth of foster parents to care for the many children who need temporary care in our community -- often there are more than 150 foster children -- as well as a lack of support for those foster families.
After two years worth of delays, the government of Guam's invitation to bid for school security systems will finally open March 12. It's imperative the General Services Agency and Guam Department of Education ensures there are no more delays.
It's good to know the Guam chapter of the American Red Cross is always there to assist victims of disasters, whether it be flooding, home fires or typhoons. It receives no federal or local funding, relying solely on the community's donations and the hard work of dedicated volunteers.
A fire weather watch is in effect until Sunday afternoon and weather officials urge the community to do its part to prevent grass fires. There already have been several grass fires this year, some of them quite large, and we all should take steps to prevent them.
Help Elliot and E.T. evade authorities, while creating happy memories for you and your family, by joining the Pacific Daily News' Friday Nights at the Park today at Adelup, with "E.T. the Extra Terrestrial" being shown as the night's feature film.
Our community mourns with the family of a 38-year-old Mangilao man who was killed when a sport utility vehicle struck him while walking on Route 10 in Barrigada Tuesday night.
Yearly compact-impact reimbursements from the federal government to Guam continue to fall short of the actual cost of providing health care to migrants from the freely associated states.
Two elderly local women -- a mother and daughter -- are the latest victims in a growing trend of crimes against the community. The women allegedly were attacked by an intruder who allegedly forced his way into their home Saturday night.
This dry season so far has been unusually dry, according to the National Weather Service, with no rain officially recorded in more than a week, resulting in a high danger of wildfires. Ongoing weather patterns suggest the dry spell will continue and possibly reach record-breaking levels for the island.
The Guam Police Department hasn't acted with enough urgency to address the long-standing problems with the agency's crime lab. In fact, the police department has proven to be ineffective at managing and maintaining the crime lab.
Far too many Guam residents are all too familiar with cancer. It's the second-leading cause of death in Guam, as well as in the United States. Most of us know someone who has cancer and is fighting it, had cancer and was successful in beating it, or who died from cancer.
The Legislature and Gov. Eddie Calvo need to ensure the government of Guam adequately funds needed, court-mandated improvements at the island's prison.
Lawmakers' decision to gut proposed legislation that would have revoked their recently awarded pay raises, as well as raises for other elected officials, was a disservice to the community.
The federal government must fully reimburse the island and other territories for compact-migration costs -- education, social welfare, public safety and public health services.
Last week, Sen. Rory Respicio said he's working on a bill that would improve transparency within the government of Guam, to include "a thorough rewrite of the Freedom of Information Act and Open Government Law."
It's been more than a decade since federal intervention forced the Guam Department of Education to hire a third-party fiduciary agent to manage the local agency's federal funds to avoid any interruption of services to the island's more than 30,000 public school students
Teen dating violence is an alarming trend here and across the country, so much so that President Obama has called ending it an urgent national priority.
The Guam Police Department can't continue to drag its feet on addressing the worsening conditions at the agency's crime lab.
If you're looking for an opportunity to spend some quality time with your family without having to break your budget to do it, come down to Adelup just before sunset today and watch "The Lego Movie" at Friday Nights at the Park.
The Supreme Court of Guam ruled the Guam Board of Allied Health Examiners violated the Open Government Law when it met in early 2012 to suspend the license of veterinarian Dr. Joel Joseph.
We commend the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the government of Guam for formalizing a partnership that will greatly benefit veterans in Guam.
Guam's stray dog problem has reaching a new tipping point, which can no longer be ignored by our elected officials. Despite efforts by the local government and village mayors, the problem continues to grow. Roughly 40 percent of Guam's dog population can be found on the streets, according to a recent report released by Humane Society International.
Gov. Eddie Calvo needs to stop delaying the progress of the court-mandated improvements related to the island's landfill.
The Pacific Daily News is this community's strident advocate of the need for government to be open and transparent so the people can hold their representatives responsible.
With the island's third confirmed case of whooping cough this year, we urge parents to heed calls from the Department of Public Health and Social Services to get their children immunized.
On Wednesday, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Guam made the wish of 6-year-old Joerome Aguon come true. Joerome, who;'s waiting for a liver transplant, and his six siblings now have a playground at their house.
We commend the Guam Homeless Coalition, its volunteers and the Guam Housing and Urban Renewal Authority for the one-day count of the island's homeless last week.
Gov. Eddie Calvo needs to deliver on education by ensuring that the Guam Department of Education is adequately funded -- which thus far hasn't happened under his administration.
Most things in nature that are beautiful are also the most dangerous. Guam's surrounding waters are no exception.

A BORDERED diamonds quilt from Kaffe Fassett's book "Simple Shapes Spectacular Quilts" is shown. It also appears in his autobiography, "Kaffe Fassett: Dreaming in Color" (2012). He's taught workshops on this quilt throughout the world.
Artists and craftspeople know that the colors they choose — and leave out — are critical ingredients in their works' success, no matter the medium.
Color done well is captivating. Color done badly? It's just bad. Or drab.
Yet a color tweak may be all it takes to turn up a piece's vibrancy and magic.
An eye for color is both intuitive and learned, say the experts.
Kaffe Fassett has spent a lifetime experimenting. The septuagenarian is exuberant with color in his embroidery, knitting and fabric designs. He's known for bold florals, fruits and vegetables, and geometric shapes — i...

Are you a 'loner'?

#1Posted 27 January 2013 - 01:50 PM
It occurred to me a while ago as I was chatting to DBF that I don't really have many, well, any, friends.
We were joking about getting married and who we would invite. He has lots of friends. I have my family. I sat there in silence as I tried to think of just one person not related to me, that I would invite. I couldn't think of any. I had a few friends at school but not the sort I would hang out with every day. I haven't seen any of them for years, since when I was 16 we moved over an hour away and that was that. I didn't make any new friends after we moved because I didn't attend school (home school). I made acquaintances through work, but never anyone I would consider close enough to invite to my wedding. I've since moved again and now live even further away from my old town, and all the friends I have here are friends or relatives of DBF. But, the thing is, it doesn't bother me. I've never 'needed' friends. I have my significant other, I have my children, and at times I have had my pets. I don't have any desire to meet people. I enjoy socialising with DBF's friends and family but have no wish to make any 'new' friends. Am I weird? Are there other 'loners' out there? I'm happy with it but it surprised me that I couldn't think of one person. I have told DBF that if we ever do get married it will be a lopsided guest list with about 20-30 people on my side and probably 50-70 on his! #2Posted 27 January 2013 - 01:57 PM
I'm just like you. Always been a bit shy and happy to do my own thing.
My fiance has a much larger family and friend group than I do, so our upcoming wedding is going to be a bit lopsided for guests, but who cares! I have around 5 close friends (2 girls, 3 guys) that I talk to and socialise with regularly and that's about it. #3Posted 27 January 2013 - 01:59 PM
You're not weird.
#4Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:02 PM
I am not a loner but I do enjoy lone time. I function better when surrounded by people and as long as I can get privacy when I need it I am happy.
I think we are all different and if you are happy with the way things are then that is good, it would only be if you were not content that maybe you could think of changing behaviours. #5Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:07 PM
Your not weird at all, if you're happy/content in life that's the main thing.
#6Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:13 PM
I definitely don't find that weird. I am much the same, I just enjoy my own company.
#7Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:14 PM
People always just seem so shocked when I say I don't have friends, same response every time "Why not?"
#8Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:15 PM
I don't have many friends, and those I do have don't live near me. My best friend lives interstate and we talk on the phone a fair bit and arrange to meet for weekends away every now ad then, but overall, I'm pretty much alone. Just husband and me, and our dogs and cats.
I'm happy as can be with that arrangement. I have just booked a weekend away for myself and two dogs, I will be exhibiting them a dog shows, and I will spend the whole weekend by myself and I'm so looking forward to it. #9Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:16 PM
I have friends, but not close friends.
None that I would call up just for a chat, but certainly a few that I would organise a night out to dinner, or a weekend away with. I don't have much family either. DP has lots of family, but they live far away. He has lots of friends. Yesterday for example, we went for a BBQ with his friends, he stayed on with his friends and went to the pub. I went home with DS and we had a lovely afternoon in the pool, and listening to "Australian" songs. I had a great day and wouldn't want it any other way. Most of my "close" friends that I have had through the years turn out the be backstabbing, two-faced, gossping so and so's. So I like to keep people at a distance. #10Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:19 PM
I have friends, and enjoy having them, but I am also the type who prefers to do many things on my own (movies, shopping, other things most would want a friend to tag along to) and also don't really feel the need to put very regular effort into my friendships to maintain them. By that, I mean I am quite content with not talking to someone for 2 or more weeks, and still consider them a close friend. I don't need to make contact with them on a regular basis.
#11Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:30 PM
I think if you are happy, then don't worry about it. It only matters if you feel without.
I moved here about 6 years ago to be with my husband. Its a few hours from where I used to live in Sydney. I have lots of friends back in Sydney and none up here. I wish I could make friends but I seem to have lost the ability and have no time anyway. I do enjoy being away from the drama that is associated with having a big group of friends, but I miss having people to call on to spend some time with. It would be nice to have an excuse to get out of the house sometimes. I am lucky to have a big, amazing family who we travel to see very regularly, and my husbands family who are also awesome and live just around the corner. #12Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:31 PM
I can go for months at a time without socialising. I like it better that way.
#13Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:32 PM
I don't think it's weird, but thats probably because I'm also much the same, I was the first from my school grade to have a baby, and after that, i began to lose touch with everyone. Interests/priorities changed and i found myself no longer being asked to the gatherings, shopping expeditions etc etc..
I now have a couple of friends from DD1's mothers group, but no Besties... I spend all my time with the kids, my husband and my mum, if I didn't have mum then I probably would be forced to make a new bestie! I do think that i could try harder to create and maintain friendships, but i'm quite shy and get rather anxious in social situations so tend to just stick to what i know! #14Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:34 PM
I'm an introvert and I don't have many good friends.
For my baby shower I had 4 ladies and 2 men. I have 'work friends' who I have lunch with at work, but we don't catch up outside of work so don't really count them. My DH is my best friend. He is also the only person I can be 'alone' with while he is in the same room - if that makes sense. The only person I dont' have to be 'on' with. Basically, I'm happy with what I've got. A number of friends is just a number, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters. #15Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:41 PM
I'm becoming one. It's safer than hanging around a*s*holes.
#16Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:44 PM
Nope - you're not alone in being a loner!
I'm actually quite the extrovert and very social in normal situations. I used to have heaps of friends but as I've gotten older, particularly after marrying DH and having DS, I can't be bothered seeing anyone or going out anywhere. I'd much rather prefer to spend the time with my family (mum, sis/BIL/niece and IL's included). In the rare opportunities where I have free time, I like to do my own thing. I stopped talking to most of my good female friends after high school, with the exception of 1. She moved to Canberra a few years ago. We still keep in contact but live in different states. Same as my other girlfriend - family friend I've known since I was little - moved to Brisbane about 8 years ago. We ring each other every so often but again live in different states. The other close friends I had (whom I will admit I miss - highschool girlfriends) fell by the wayside. I married DH when I was 21 which & I understand most 21 year olds aren't interested in having a married friend who can't go out, get drunk and pick up or who would rather spend most of her time with her husband. #17Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:55 PM
I think as long as you are happy then that's all that matters.
My sister can count her friends on one hand and that suits her. I'm the complete opposite - it is very very rare for me to be by myself. Poor DP is quite introverted by nature but she's got used to having a stack of people around over the last 10 years. DD is a bit little to tell, but DS loves having people around - he always asks who is coming to visit/to dinner/with us. #18Posted 27 January 2013 - 02:59 PM QUOTE Poor DP is quite introverted by nature but she's got used to having a stack of people around over the last 10 years. That would break my brain. #19Posted 27 January 2013 - 03:05 PM QUOTE (cinnabubble @ 27/01/2013, 03:59 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That would break my brain. Me too. I am like stbg-enjoy other people's company but need my own space. #20Posted 27 January 2013 - 03:23 PM
I guess I'd be a loner by most people's standards.
I'm quite content with DP and spending time with my family. I adore spending time with friends and workmates, but only people who I really click with. I tend to be quite discerning. It has caused a bit of conflict between DP and I in the past as DP is a bit more extroverted, but now she's OK if I don't go to events if I know I won't enjoy them. We often have houseguests from interstate and I almost always say yes to that, but she also doesn't invite people over for dinner if she knows I won't like them. So there's a bit of give and take there. I think it's considered more normal to be an extrovert. I remember once being very frustrated because I saw the uni counsellor about another, unrelated totally legitimate problem and one of the first questions she asked was about whether I had a lot of friends and then started suggesting clubs I could join. I tend to go a bit easier on myself now and realise (I moved interstate a year ago) that I will meet people and some of them I will like and some I won't and some may become friends and it's all OK. I think sometimes there's a lot of pressure to just befriend anyone so you can appear to have a social life. #21Posted 27 January 2013 - 03:23 PM
I have 2 close friends, my husband has many many more. We're both happy. I find it so important to have time alone, I really need that time to just recharge.
Just on the imbalanced wedding sides, if that was bothering you, I saw a pic recently that had a chalkboard at the ceremony and written on it was: "As two families become one, we ask that you choose a seat, not a side". A bit corny, but I think a nice way to put it, and make sure you don't end up with one side overflowing, and the other with a handful of guests. #22Posted 27 January 2013 - 03:27 PM QUOTE (bebe99 @ 27/01/2013, 04:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have 2 close friends, my husband has many many more.

Both DH and I are loners, at our wedding we had his three friends and their partners, my two friends and their families and our parents and siblings. We are happy and certainly don't stress about the lack of friends.
We crave our quite time and spending too much time with people makes us grumpy lol #24Posted 27 January 2013 - 03:55 PM

DH has no friends in Mackay. He sees & serves people at work, that fulfils his social quota for the week. When he comes home he retreats into grateful hermitude.
I'm slightly more social, but not by much. I'm far better at 1-3 people gatherings than I am at a "do". I've got my choir peeps and my one Proper teacher friend, and that'll do me.

Explore the fundamentals of Ballet technique through a friendly, relaxed environment. This basic ballet class will be tailored to the level of all students while developing strength, flexibility, artistry, and coordination. Tights, leotard, and ballet tights are not required, but socks are suggested.
Combining the basic techniques of ballet with the more modern steps found in Pop and Broadway, Jazz is an upbeat, stylish, and versatile dance form. Jazz classes will typically include strengthening warm ups, stretching techniques, across the floor movements, leaps, turns and center combination work to fun and upbeat music.
This energetic class uses an eclectic mix of music, from R&B to house to pop and teaches dancers hip-hop movements, musicality and technique while also working on rhythm, precision, and muscle memory.

A faster-moving experience with West African and Congolese movement styles taught in an exciting and nurturing atmosphere to live drumming.
Open to everyone 40 years of age and over. Increase creativity, fitness and longevity through movement. Throughout the session, instructors will integrate an eclectic variety of movement styles.
Flamenco consists of three artistic elements: the cante (singing), the guitarra (guitar) and the baile (dance). The dancer physically interprets the emotion of the singer and guitar is through his or her movements, which include percussive footwork and intricate hand, arm, and body movements. The relationship between the artists is similar to that of jazz where there is a basic structure that one must follow, but at its heart, it is an improvised form.

Technique: Intermediate technique including turns, remates, footwork, hand gestures, palmas, and upper body work. Rhythms for intermediate level 4, 6 and 12 count songs. Depending on the choreography taught during the session, it includes instruction on the use of castanets, shawls and fans.
Registration required.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Response letter was confusing and misleading
I am writing in response to a letter printed in the June 28 edition of the South Whidbey Record. The letter, submitted by COER leader Paula Spina, is confusing and misleading.
Ms. Spina claims that COER is "neither seeking nor advocating the closing of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station," yet she also claims that one of COER's missions is "the relocation of all Growler training out of the North Puget Sound Area." Such a relocation of so many aircraft would surely close the naval air station. So, keep the base open, but take actions that would close it? You can't have it both ways.
Then we come to Spina's defense of COER President Michael Monson, whose actions have become so extreme and aggressive that a restraining order has been filed to keep him away from a South Whidbey Realtor. This would be the Mr. Monson who barges into a Congressman's meeting, demands an agenda change, calls a Realtor a snake, grabs the realtor's hand and refuses to let go.
That Spina defends Mr. Monson is puzzling enough, but her arguments become even more confusing when she says, "Neither Monson nor the COER ever threatened anyone with violence. We are not the ones advocating rape and arson as political tools." Rape and arson? Someone in the OLF controversy advocates their use? Who?
We had better find out soon.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- From April to October, while North Carolina farmers are planting, tending and harvesting their crops, hundreds of law enforcement officers across the state are engaged in the annual ritual of weed-pulling.
The Marijuana Eradication Program is a joint effort that uses federal funds, state-owned aircraft and county sheriff's officers to find and destroy marijuana plants. After more than three decades, investigators say, the program has helped bring about a change in the illicit industry: Local growers have begun to move their operations indoors, out of the sight of aerial spotters, leaving only tiny plots for pilots to search for in the verdant landscape.
When spotters do find a large crop, usually divided into parcels over several acres where the landowners are unaware of their presence, investigators think the plants are often being tended as part of an organized criminal effort.
"The trend has been toward smaller patches and better concealment, and there's a tremendous trend toward indoor growing," said Durb Turner, special agent in charge of the air wing of the State Bureau of Investigation.
Pilots for the SBI, the state Highway Patrol and the N.C. National Guard try to fly in each of the state's 100 counties at least once during the growing season. Marine Patrol aircraft also help with the work. They scan places where investigators have found pot in the past, as well as those where their detective work suggests it might be growing now.
It's an old-fashioned form of sleuthing that works best against a low-tech criminal.
"The easiest time to find it is when they first set the seedlings out in the spring," said Franklin County Sheriff's Detective William Mitchell, one of many local narcotics officers who have attended a state-sponsored "spotters school," where they learn to distinguish cannabis from kudzu at an altitude of 500 feet.
"[Growers] just go out and clear a space and put the seedlings in the ground," Mitchell said. "All you got to do is go up and look for the dots."
Aerial spotting is more challenging in late July, when the trees are full, milkweed is as tall as a house and a marijuana plant blends more easily with surrounding foliage.
Mitchell and more than a dozen other officers waited Wednesday morning at the Franklin County Airport for Highway Patrol helicopters to arrive. Crossing his tattooed arms, Mitchell said it was impossible to predict what they would find.
"We've got 497 square miles in this county," he said. "There's no way to fly it all. We know it [marijuana] is out there, but there's always going to be something you can't find."
Thirty years ago, Turner says, the biggest plots were usually planted by local growers. Some of those growers aged out of the business or just got tired of worrying they might get caught and lose their investment, Turner says. Some still raise a few plants, scattered over a broad area.
They have been followed, Turner thinks, by growers who have moved their production indoors, setting up elaborate greenhouse systems where high-quality plants can be raised year-round.
Investigators say those are more difficult to find. When plants are spotted outside on private property, law officers can move in immediately. But to raid a house, a search warrant is needed, and it's more difficult to establish the probable cause a judge or magistrate would require.
"They got to be out there," Turner said. "But if they're good at concealing it, we may never find out."
Plants worth millions
Last month in Harnett County and several times in recent years, investigators have found large plots totaling thousands of plants worth millions of dollars. They made arrests in one case and found evidence in two others, leading them to think crews were sent in from elsewhere and paid to raise those crops and bring them to harvest.
Police say both types of undercover agriculturalists are difficult to catch.
"Once they see us fly over, especially if we have to circle back to confirm, they're gone and they don't come back," said Lt. Todd Woodard, who oversees the aviation unit of the Highway Patrol.
In June, Woodard's group located a series of marijuana plots tucked in a remote, wooded area of Harnett County. At first, they estimated the crop to be about 35,000 plants. Investigators now say it was closer to 50,000, each with a street value of about $2,400.
Growers can slip away
The pilots were coordinating with ground crews of deputies, guardsmen and SBI agents staged at different areas of the county and ready to move in if the air crews found a stand of plants. When they swarmed into the area, they found the earth still damp where some of the plants had just been watered. But all they found of the growers were the meager shelters, clothing and food supplies they had hurriedly left behind.
Woodard's crews fly their missions from five bases across the state, in an aging fleet of military surplus OH-58 helicopters used for observation during the Vietnam War. His newest helicopter is 36 years old.
It costs about $340 an hour to fly the helicopters, which are used mostly for search and rescue and other functions. When they're flying for the marijuana eradication program, the SBI is reimbursed from an annual grant from the federal Drug Enforcement Agency. This year's grant was $290,000.

People who dwell in forests and campaigners who support them say the world's governments need to act to make a reality of their right to land instead of simply talking about it.
World Resources Institute / Jonathan Talbot
The U.N. is pioneering a carbon market that would allow rich countries to pay poor countries not to cut down forests. It's just the kind of feel-good program that could save the planet—or make loggers and organized criminals filthy rich.
This is according to Scott Redd, director of the National Counterterrorism Center. These groups of Islamic radicals are made up of disaffected men in their teens and 20s who draw moral inspiration from Al Qaeda and use the Internet to organize and plan potential attacks.

If you're fashion forward, go for the Stone Age Black and Gold Hoop Earrings! Perfectly dainty gold hoops are joined by round, black stones that will playfully swing as you move. Hoop hangs 2" from gold fish hooks. Stone measures 1/4" tall. Man made materials. Imported.
These hoops are really beautiful and they're versatile. They are also extremely lightweight, so it won't weigh down your ears.
I love these classy hoop earrings!
