Getting started...
Hello - I'm new to this forum (but not to Gardenweb).
I am not a beginner sewer but am not hugely experienced, either. I have done cushions, a duvet cover, a simple quilt. All of this on my grandmother's 1950 Elna (the only sewing machine I've ever used, actually!). I would like to do some more projects and learn some new stuff but don't really enjoy this sewing machine! It's become very temperamental.
I went to my local sewing machine dealer and they showed me a Babylock Audrey - They are having a special on this machine $299 - regularly $600? I cannot find any reviews or information on this machine on the internet. Does anybody have experience with it?
I want a machine with good basic features for home dec. What should I look for?? I have never used a 'modern' machine and need a primer!!
And tips or advice would be appreciated! Thank you!
From what I read about the machine on the link below, I would say that it is a good buy at half the regular price. Several of my friends have Babylock machines just for their machine quilting and they really love them. Have not heard any "cons" from them about their machines.
I'd say go for it!
Here is a link that might be useful: Babylock
Please, please take some of your home dec fabric, add some difficult to handle fabric, striped fabric to try matching, a pair of scissors, a zipper, a quilt sandwich, and fabric backed with stabilizer, and test the machine you wish to purchase. Don't forget to test the buttonholes. Also see if there is a walking foot to fit this machine (I don't see one listed under the accessories) and any other presser feet you may want to add later on. Try other brands too, see how they feel, easy and straight feeding, balanced decorative stitches, and how well they handle heavy fabric and silky fabric, especially inserting a zipper in heavy fabric (They may need to change the needle). See how well you can do free motion quilting with your quilt sandwich or some fabric backed with stabilizer. Maybe do the same tests on the higher end Quilter's Choice BLQC2.
It would be interesting to know who made this machine for Babylock. Brother makes their high end machines. Babylock is a very, very nice company.
I just looked on the Babylock site at the Audrey. They state in their ad, "this lightweight machine can easily travel or attend classes with you." Just looking at the picture and the description, I personally would not choose this machine for home dec. Please understand that I may be wrong as I haven't tried it. It appears, (Emphasis on appears, as I have not had the opportunity to try it.) to be a light duty machine and the area to the right of the needle looks cramped, making it difficult to handle bulky items when you need to position them to the right of the needle, such as machine quilting quilts. The best thing to do is test it, it might be a must have.
Would you still be happy with your old machine if it was running properly, if yes, maybe you should get an estimate on having it serviced and fixed. I hope this helps.
deb, thanks for the advice. You make some very interesting points. I know I should probably shop around a bit and will do so.
My old machine has worked fine. I think part of my problem is that when it starts messing up - right now the bobbin thread is constantly breaking - I don't really have enough knowledge to know what is wrong!
I read somewhere to take classes first using someone else's machines and discover what features you like and dislike. Perhaps I should do this.
Thank you for reigning me and maybe keeping me from being too impulsive! LOL.
Have you cleaned the bobbin race lately? Sounds like you've got some lint built up in there. In all honesty, if your old machine has been working, I'd stick with it. A 50s era Elna is a pretty darn good sewing machine and well worth repairing.
Hi again. Annie has good advice. Also, if you haven't had your machine service within the last two years it would be a good idea, just make sure you find a good honest shop. An Elna dealer with their own repair person might be a place to start. Try to get recommendations. I don't know what kind of thread you are using, but in addition to cleaning the bobbin area, check to see how easily the bobbin thread breaks with/between your hands.
deb, thanks! I just called a shop that specializes in Elnas to find out about getting it serviced. I also asked them about a lesson on maintaining the machine and using it and I will probably do that. That is probably what I need more than anything! I have used the machine for several projects, but I really don't know much about taking care of it and using it correctly!
DH said if I wanted to get a new machine, I had to get rid of the old one, and I realized I just couldn't do it!
annie, thanks for the endorsement!
Hi Cathy, You are very welcome. It is my belief that sometimes the money is better spent saving the OLD, BUT WELL BUILT, machine vs buying a new lower end machine. Mind you, that is only if it has the features you need. A good repair shop can advise you if the machine is worth fixing and how available parts will be in the future should something go wrong later, then the decision is yours.
I have an Elna from the 70's which is still worth it's weight in gold (IMHO). I have an Aunt who is still sewing regularly on an Elna from the 50's and has not spent a penny on repairs. Look into getting your old machine fixed first and test drive alot of used machines before you leap into a newer machine. Watch and take your time. That is my best advice.
budster, I actually looked at the Elna website and found an Elna dealer/repair shop in my area and took it in yesterday. They offer 'mechanical how to' classes and I plan to take one so I can get to know my machine better. This looked like a really busy shop with a class going on while I was there. I know the machine works, it just needs to be serviced and cleaned up, and I need to learn how to use it better! I told my mother and she said my grandmother must be smiling down from heaven as she loved that machine! She had actually bought it second hand in the late 50's!
Looking forward to doing some projects! Thanks for the advice everyone!

my "Food Not Lawns" alternative container soil.
A few months ago I was planning a garden for this summer; I had never really gardened before, but my mother, aseedisapromise on this site, is very experienced. At first I thought I was going to do containers only, because I'm renting and didn't think my landlord would let me rip up the lawn in the back.
However, he did, considering that the drought of last summer killed most of it in the sunny corner, so I dug and planted it about 15ft by 15ft. I had gone to Home Depot and come back with Pine Bark Mulch with plans to make one of Al's container mixes that my mom told me about, but the mulch pieces were too large for container soils, so I put them on the garden instead.
But after ripping up the lawn, I had a bunch of weeds and grass turf blobs, pieces of roots and grass which I had beaten the dirt out of. I killed them by sealing them inside containers with no light or water for a month or two, and used them to seed my compost pile for kitchen compost.
After a while, my garden was getting overcrowded, I had a lot of volunteers from last year's compost that I applied to it, and I planted a lot as well. I still had the containers, so I thought, what the heck, I'll use them. I noticed that my compost pile seemed to have a lot of the desired properties for a container soil at this point- it was structurally sound, but not fine enough to trap water for a long time, porous to allow ventilation, etc.
So, I poured the big bag of Floor Dry that I had originally purchased onto the compost pile, and started scooping it into my 5gallon buckets.
Now, I'm no expert, but I think that this experiment has been successful enough that I would recommend it to other gardeners. With a caveat, of course. My mother warned me that the roots and weeds will probably break down within a year, causing the soil will probably perform poorly, retain water for too long, not allow air to reach the roots. At this point, she recommends spreading it on a garden like compost.
However, for new gardeners like me who don't have much money, are poorly equipped, and are trying to expand their growing capabilities, I think this method is excellent. If you expand your garden by tearing up more turf every year, you can also get a good container soil every year for free.
Below, you can see some of my container plants and their soils - Cabbage, Collard Greens, Pickling Cucumbers, and some other green I got from a friend.
F...I am glad it is working for you now! Your mother is right. Floor dry is an absorbent product. Along with material like grass that breaks down quickly....you will have a mucky mess in the future. Aeriation in soil is critical. For now.....enjoy!

Here are the highlights… On The Rock Coming Back to WWE: Well, it's certainly beneficial for us, because we get so much mainstream exposure. The guy, of course, really came to prominence in the WWE and is now arguably…if not the top, certainly one of the top action stars in Hollywood, and certainly one of the top actors. That's kind of beyond our community. The fact that he comes back into WWE certainly helps us. Also, from his perspective, I think he really does love WWE and wrestling, so he loves to do it. I think that also, it helps Rock as well, because he becomes part of the big event (WrestleMania). As a participant in and as a part of WWE myself, I think it's great that he comes back because it just helps overall and it creates so much buzz. It's really awesome.

Just Camping Feb 22, 2011 11:27:54 GMT -8
Post by Peter Gibbons on Feb 22, 2011 11:27:54 GMT -8
Short Answer: I'd tour around Seattle if I were you.
Long Answer: I have no idea who is organizing this for you, but they are doing a horrible job. Something of this scale needs to be brought to the festival organizer's attention if this is going to be successful. One thing you must understand about the Gorge staff is that they can shut down anything they want, for whatever reason they want. They are a big fan of the word "liability".
Case & Point: Last year two staff members tried to shut down a homemade Slip 'N Slide because they were worried someone would get hurt. This prompted one of the most effective arguments I have ever heard presented to the Gorge staff. "So does that mean you are liable if someone tripping on acid fell and smashed their face in?" This argument, coupled with the fact that Slip 'N Sliders outnumbered the assholes by 8:1, caused the staff to eventually leave.
I imagine something this large-scale would attract more than 2 assholes to shut it down. This takes a little more planning than, "Hey dude, you should show up and play a set in the campground for Sasquatch!"
To answer your other question about whether anyone would show up: These parties may have been successful in the past, but that was due to a large population of non-festival-attending campers. Ending at 1:00am is shooting yourself in the foot. Even if the headliners end at 12:30am, campers need around 30 minutes to get back to their site, which is right around the time you will be ending. I could see this party working well Thursday night, but who knows how many people will be there by then. With the late start Friday, festival goers have the option of driving to the Gorge on Friday afternoon.
If this does end up working out, do yourself a favor and get some security. I think it was the first or second night of Sasquatch '09 that had a big party and the dance floor ended up on top of someone's SUV. Someone with a sound system had set up shop under a canopy and attracted a relatively large crowd. Mob mentality fucked up that SUV. I never knew people could be so destructive while singing Sweet Caroline. If you have neighbors close to the scene, you may run a risk of damaging their property.
You have exhausted your resources here on the board regarding this issue. We can, and will speculate that you have a 99% chance of having this shut down before you really even get going. If you want an answer that isn't speculation, tell your organizer to contact the festival.

How would you use a dead GPU?

Wedding party in jeans!
We are invited to a nephews wedding at the end of August. It will take place at a farm/winery. The reception will be in a new building done to look like the inside of a barn. After the reception there will be a bonfire with smores.
I have no idea what the bride will be wearing other than she said she is not changing her dress for the bonfire. If it gets dirty or burned, who cares. The men in the wedding party including the groom will be wearing (new) jeans with what I think is called "tweed" vests.
On the invite its says it is a simple affair with casual attire and that cowboy boots and hats are encouraged. I saw the bride today and she says everyone should just wear what they are comfortable in and that jeans are fine. Some people are mixing very casual with dressy. As in jeans and boots with a tuxedo shirt.
We are excited and have never went to anything like this. I will keep you posted on what we are wearing.
Anyone go to anything like this?
My DD and her husband, both in their mid-30âÂÂs, were invited last summer to a wedding like this, where they actually were expected to âÂÂcamp-outâ in tents after the wedding was over. The entire ceremony and reception was held in a field/forest area somewhere in the NC mountain area near Ashville. Dress was supposed to be casual. I never did ask her what she wore, yet she is not an especially âÂÂcasualâ dresser for typical wedding performances. It should be interesting to see what everyone wears.
Sounds Fun! :)
Here's some ideas and inspiration from Pinterest! :)
Here is a link that might be useful: Pinterest -- country wedding jeans
The camping sounds fun but I'm not sure that is for everyone. I had no idea this type of wedding was so popular.
Here is the dress I was thinking of wearing. The wedding is Aug. 29 which means here we are heading to fall even though it is still summer. The temp could be 80's or 60's.The colors on my monitor are more vibrant then what is looks like in person.
If not this then I have no idea. I don't want to wear jeans but a summer dress just seems to summery for the date. I should decide soon as the summer clothes will only be out until the end of July and then all our stores switch to fall clothes.
What about just a simple black dress? too dressy? and then have DH wear jeans and a black shirt?
Or for something different but would fit right in with the type of crowd is camo. I just came across a cool looking camo wedding dress. Also saw some with just a little camo.

A lot of young girls and young women even wear casual skirts with cowboy-style boots. It's really a cute look and casual. Jean jackets never are totally out of style IMO so you could also go that route or with the sweater you have pictured, depending on the weather. Sounds like fun.
My BIL had a jeans, cowboy hats and boots wedding where the guests primarily wore jeans. I recall the bridesmaids wore cowboy boots with their short dresses-I think the bride was going to wear boots too but didn't for some reason (I didn't go to that wedding). At the time I attributed the attire at that affair to the trashiness of the whole spectacle (that's a whole other story).
But a friend got married at her parents back yard and the groom wore a similar set up-he was big into horse activities, and guests were very casual.
My eldest DD got married at a lakeside place where guests could tent camp if they chose to. Neither the wedding party or the guests wore jeans, but every one was dressed in what I would describe as urban casual attire. If the wedding is going to be a casual theme, then no big deal IMHO. My younger DD was married in a ballroom at an opera house-had anyone shown up to that affair in jeans I would have croaked.
I like the dress you've shown, I think it would be very appropriate.
I come from a long line of folks who have "dress jeans" just for this sort of occasion. Seeing jeans at a wedding, even in the wedding party, wouldn't even make me blink an eye.
My father is a country red-neck through and through. Here is a picture of him at my sister's wedding in 2010 (with my very adorable niece) - with his dress jeans and cowboy boots. I believe this is the only jacket that he owns - it has leather lapels and elbow patches :) .
I just attended a wedding like that ~my nephew's~ this past Saturday up around the Denver area. DH wore khakis with his dress Lucchese boots and one of his dressier golf shirts (and one of his dressier Western hats). DD and I wore nice sundresses . . . with sandals, as the both the wedding and the reception were outside in his mom's (huge) garden. Many of the younger guys (twenties and thirties) wore nice jeans. I even saw a few in shorts. The older men tended to dress similarly to DH. Pretty much all of the women wore sundresses. We were all glad that we brought along sweaters once the sun went down, too!
Thanks for all the advice! I'm going to plan two outfits and then see which works better that day. The one in the photo above and then a black dress w/jean jacket and boots.
I can't believe it but I've never had a jean jacket and I am definitely a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl. So will go out shopping for a jean jacket, black boots, and some funky jewelry.
See if you can find a denim jacket with a touch of lycra-it makes it so much more comfy.
I bought my first jean jacket about 5 years ago and it's become a wardrobe staple for me. I also bought one in coral and have my eye on a lime green one. I rarely wear the blue denim one with jeans, tho-usually with black jeans or khakis and it's indispensible with sun dresses or maxis.
Debrak, I even have a white one for summer. Pesky is right; if you can find one with a little lycra they are very comfortable. You can really wear a denim one with just about anything. Many of them have decorative buttons that make them a little dressier. I just keep mine more plain. Try WH/BM or Lucky brand or even some of the consignment shops for something unusual.

Decent sound/fx
Hmm ok so this was something differant and thats not a bad thing, this is actually perfect "SOUND/FX" for any flash with the need for these types of resources, so props to you on that aspect of stuff, the sounds do get better and louder but i think you need to make it louder alot earlier on in the track not so late, but regardless this was a nice sound/fx
So this was a cool Sound/fx i think you need to make it louder alot earlier on in the track not so late, anyways nice work.

You could do sound effects for a big-budget movie.
That would be fun :3

the sound quality is pimp, definitely worth the 512 sync..
just wow on quality.

Love it.
It almost sounds like rain, very resourceful.
And I love the pattern, it's exactly like regular rainfall:
Drizzle -> Rain -> Shower -> Rain -> Drizzle -> Distant
Nice job!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I happened to find this piece as it stormed outside. I find rain to be one of the most beautiful things in nature, and you captured it all in man-made materials. Very ironic and very beautiful.

Nice place for the grand kids to run on the beach. tide goes way out and you can walk out about 1/2 mile on the sand . Sometimes people let there dogs run wild NOT GOOD
A lovely, forested park with miles of trails, various terrains and a nice beach. There are several large picnic shelters along the park's Puget Sound beach that can be rented by the day, and away from the water the park has many overnight camping spots for tents and for vehicles of various sizes.
I stayed a night with my brother having driven down from Vancouver, BC.
It was September and was not too busy.
Lovely surroundings, good plots. Handy for visiting Seattle.
Yes the shower & washroom are basic, but if you want luxury you should book in at a hotel.
I would come back again.
Stayed here for 5 nightstand overall was great. During the week it was nice and quiet but over the weekend it got much busier and people cannot keep there animals quiet. Washrooms could use an update and yes you do need to pay for showers. Park Ranger very nice and helpful.
We were travelling from Manitoba so we are used to treed and private campground. It was awesome to find one close to Seattle. The drive was not bad, just traffic was Terrible.
The campground was clean and bathrooms were as well.
My only complaint is the shower and having to pay for it. It should be a better shower if...
When you think of seattle you think fishing and crabbing, but be informed before you decide to grab the pole and head out. Seattle has a regulation book about 100 pages long and you are required to submit what you caught or didn't catch within 10 days. It is also bit expensive for non residents.
That being said it awesome...
There are a lot of places to go and see the Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest, but make sure to add this one to your list. There is a little playground and lots of room to lay in the sand or go hunting for seashells and all sorts of other things. I even found a live sea snail once!
This is a really nice little state park. It has easy access if you know the right way to get there there is a fairly large campground including pull through spots. there is a number of trails and paths The beach is fairly small but nice. One thing I really liked is that it was right near town so if...
We went on a short walk to the beach. The tide was out and there was a wonderful view of the channel.
Nice but beware of the $10 charge even when you only want to stay for a couple of hours. You will like it with many area to walk and relax. Very quiet and quaint.

SCCM 2012 OSD invalid task sequence step condition breaks deployment
SCCM 2012 SP1 task sequence hangs indefinitely during Install Package step
October 29, 2013 / adrian posted in Infrastructure, Operating System Deployment, Planet CDOT
If you're experiencing an issue with your SCCM 2012 SP1 task sequence hanging randomly at an Install Package/Updates step, apply the following fix in the deployment task sequence after the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step (followed by a Restart):
strComputer = "."
Set objSWbemServices = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\ccm")
Set colSWbemObjectSet = objSWbemServices.InstancesOf("SMS_MaintenanceTaskRequests")
For Each objSWbemObject In colSWbemObjectSet
strInstance = "SMS_MaintenanceTaskRequests.TaskID='" & objSWbemObject.TaskID & "'"
objSWbemServices.delete strInstance
Note: applying this in the build and capture TS does not get rid of the issue
This issue occurs when attempting to deploy a newly captured (usually newer than 12 hours) Windows 7 SP1 image using SCCM 2012 SP1.
Waiting 12h+ before deploying the image also seems to be a workaround.
Users have reported the issue persists with 2012 SP1 CU1 as well and Microsoft is looking into a fix.
SCCM 2012 Could not connect or execute SQL query setup error
July 10, 2012 / adrian posted in Infrastructure, Operating System Deployment, Planet CDOT
I've managed to deploy the latest version of SCCM 2012 in the lab, but not without a few issues. Most notably the "could not connect" or execute SQL query generic not-very-helpful error.
The first thing you do in this case is check the setup logs. Connections to INSTANCE\master were successful but setup still reported failure. I was able to telnet server.fqdn.com on port 1433, as per remote SQL instance requirements, and that was successful as well.
..but still:
If you've seen this before and Google'd it, no doubt you've come across: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Bb932163(l=en-us,v=Technet.10).aspx. This didn't help me, as I was able to check all those items off and still run into the issue.
The lab SQL server has multiple instances and multiple IPs. Each instance is configured to listen on port 1433 for a specific IP, so naturally I turned off Listen All. The dynamic ports feature was also disabled by clearing the settings in SQL Server Configuration Manager MMC.
So.. I can telnet to 1433 using the SQL server's FQDN, I can connect it using Management Studio and the permissions are all correct.. what's the problem? This same error popped up for both Standalone Primary Site installations as well as Central Administration Site (CAS) installations.
Well it turns out that the IPAll setting in SQL Server Config Manager MMC (
SQL Server Network Config->Protocols for INSTANCE->TCP/IP Properties), mustbe set to 1433 even if Listen All is set to No:
Perhaps the Setup Wizard, uses this value to figure out what port the instance is listening on in order to create a second connection and initialize the database. I had this field cleared because Listen All was disabled.
Setting the value to 1433 (the port used by ConfigMgr 2012 for remote SQL server instance installations) fixed the issue and I was able to install SCCM 2012.
Note: setting the IPAll value while Listen All (in the Protocol tab) is disabled does not force SQL server to listen on 0.0.0.0:1433 (IPAll LISTEN).
Force Google Chrome Incognito mode
February 10, 2012 / adrian posted in Development, Planet CDOT, Security
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
@=""C:\Tools\start_chrome_incognito.cmd" -- "%1""
@=""C:\Tools\start_chrome_incognito.cmd" -- "%1""
@=""C:\Tools\start_chrome_incognito.cmd" -- "%1""
@=""C:\Tools\start_chrome_incognito.cmd" %1"
Save this as chrome_file_association_fix.reg and run it. For reasons I have yet to understand, you can't use environment variables in the registry path. Likely has to do with the host process not having an environment when it executes the application. But who knows..
You cannot add the switches directly to the registry key. This would be more convenient since it wouldn't require a separate batch file to maintain, but this breaks the host process that attempts to start the application.
Create a start_chrome_incognito.cmd in your C:Tools folder and put this into it:
@echo off
start /D"%LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\Application" chrome.exe -incognito --purge-memory-button --memory-model=low %*
:: for XP use the following
:: start /D"%AppData%\Google\Chrome\Application" chrome.exe -incognito --purge-memory-button --memory-model=low %*
Add whatever options you want before %* and you should be good to go. If you are on Windows XP still, upgrade. If you can't upgrade then make sure you use the appropriate path to chrome.exe in your batch file.
Now when you start Chrome using something like Start > Run > http://www.google.com you will be browsing in Incognito mode.
Hacky but it works.
Google, please add an option to do this natively, thanks.
SCCM Task Sequence editor "Too many steps" error
SCCM upstream SUP and downstream SUP fail SSL/TLS negotiation
May 4, 2011 / adrian posted in Infrastructure
I have two SCCM SUP systems, one is the top and the other is downstream. The SCCM infrastructure is operating in Native Mode and all WSUS synchronizations and configurations happen over HTTPS.
The internal SUP (SKN01) is the site server and has a site system in the DMZ (DMZ01) which it uses as a SUP for external IBCM clients. I had a look at the system status a couple of days ago only to see the SMS_WSUS_CONFIGURATION_MANAGER component had gone critical with this message all over the place:
SMS_WSUS_CONFIGURATION_MANAGER Message ID: 6600
WSUS Configuration Manager failed to configure upstream server settings on WSUS Server "Internal".
Possible cause: WSUS Server version 3.0 SP1 and above is not installed or cannot be contacted.
Solution: Verify that the WSUS Server version 3.0 SP1 or greater is installed. Verify that the IIS ports configured in SMS are same as those configured on the WSUS IIS website.
I looked at WCM.log to see exactly which server it is failing to configure. To reproduce the error I started and stopped the SMS_WSUS_CONFIGURATION_MANAGER component using theConfigMgr Service Manager tool.
WCM.log showed the initial connection to the primary SKN01 SUP as successful with a fairly odd .NET exception following:
System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel. --->
System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: The remote certificate is invalid according to the validation procedure.~~
at System.Net.Security.SslState.StartSendAuthResetSignal(ProtocolToken message, AsyncProtocolRequest asyncRequest, Exception exception)~~
at System.Net.Security.SslState.CheckCompletionBeforeNextReceive(ProtocolToken message, AsyncProtocolRequest asyncRequest)~~
at System.Net.Security.SslState.StartSendBlob(Byte[] incoming, Int32 count, AsyncProtocolRequest asyncRequest)~~ at
Basically, this meant that whatever WSUS server the primary was attempting to connect to (it wasn't exactly specific…) was failing to negociate SSL and aborting. FYI, I used ProcMon to figure out which WSUS server it was connecting to during the failure. It turns out it was DMZ01
This was odd because WSUS synchronization and configuration had worked for a while and seemingly overnight the certificate became invalid? Not likely. I checked the machine certificates and their trust chain and it all seemed in order on both servers.
I remembered that recently I was troubleshooting an issue with the Management Point and I had removed the Intranet FQDN from the site system in the DMZ (the IBCM SUP server, DMZ01).
It turns out all I had to do was enter the Intranet FQDN in the DMZ site system's properties (DMZ01) and all was well. If you're still experiencing issues after entering the FQDN, remove the SUP from the DMZ site and re-add it.
Who knew that removing this FQDN would cause the WSUS configuration to fail. I guess the internal SUP uses the supplied internal FQDN by the DMZ site system to validate the web server certificate supplied by WSUS?
So yeah.. make sure you configure both the Intranet and Internet FQDNs in the DMZ site system's properties. Make sure they match the web server certificate's SAN (Subject Alternative Name).

Batch rename files with PowerShell and Regular Expressions
April 18, 2011 / adrian posted in Development, Infrastructure, Planet CDOT
There have been a few times in the past where I've had to rename a large number of files for various reasons (ie: remove a common piece of text from the name) and I've always resorted to PowerShell.
The script will accept 4 parameters with an optional -whatif as the 5th. Fairly self explanatory with one mention: the $what parameter is a regular expression. Keep this in mind when, for example, you are trying to match for a period (.) as you would have to escape it (as per the example usage).
The -whatif parameter will only output the before and after file names without modifying the files themselves.
That's it, set the execution policy and enjoy.

Restoring /usr/bin with rpm and yum
January 6, 2011 / adrian posted in Planet CDOT
I was recently writing a Makefile for cramfs, specifically the distclean and install sections. The installation would copy the program binaries to /usr/bin while the cleanup would remove them… simple enough right?
I wrote a for loop to go through
$(PROGS) and remove them from
INSTLOC = /usr/bin
PROGS = mkcramfs cramfsck
all: $(PROGS)
distclean clean:
for p in $(PROGS);
rm -rf $p $(INSTLOC)/$p;
cp $(PROGS) $(INSTLOC)
The problem was that I ran this as root (tsk tsk), and since Makefile requires that for loop variables be escaped (line 9: $$p not $p), the rm command translated to this:
rm -rf /usr/bin/
Great! So now I had no binaries in /usr/bin, which includes: yum, bash, crontab, python, perl… (800+ on a minimal install).
Since I only deleted the binaries, the programs were still listed as installed in the RPM database. The first thing I had to do was re-install yum and its "usrbin" dependency python:
[root@demon ~]# mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
[root@demon ~]# cd /media/cdrom/Packages
[root@demon ~]# rpm -Uvh --force python-2.6.5-3.el6.i686.rpm
[root@demon ~]# rpm -Uvh --force yum-3.2.27-14.el6.noarch.rpm
The next step was to figure out which packages had binaries in /usr/bin so I can reinstall them:
[root@demon ~]# rpm -qf $(rpm -qla|grep ^/usr/bin)|uniq|sort
… and finally send those to yum to do a reinstall and get the binaries back:
[root@demon ~]# yum reinstall $(rpm -qf $(rpm -qla|grep ^/usr/bin)|uniq|sort)
[root@demon ~]# ls -la /usr/bin|wc -l
[root@demon ~]#
… crisis averted! Snapshot time.
One last note: If you manually installed third party RPMs (not listed in the /etc/yum.repos.d/repositories), they will not be re-installed. You can perform re-install these one by one using the
rpm -Uvh command above. Keep in mind that if these RPMs have not undergone proper QA they may overwrite your current configuration files
You can run these RPMs through rpmlint to see if they produce any warnings or errors that may cause a problem when re-installing:
[root@demon ~]# rpmlint -iv iplog-2.2.1-1_RH7.i386.rpm
iplog.i386: W: conffile-without-noreplace-flag /etc/iplog.conf
A configuration file is stored in your package without the noreplace flag. A
way to resolve this is to put the following in your SPEC file:
%config(noreplace) /etc/your_config_file_here
[root@demon ~]#

Certification "required"[edit]

Technical architecture[edit]
The following whitepaper describes NVIDIA's implementation of Miracast: http://www.nvidia.com/content/PDF/tegra_white_papers/tegra-miracast-whitepaper-final.pdf. As the only known working example of Miracast, I could analyse the architecture of NVIDIA Tegra-optimised Miracast in a section on this page, though I may have to brush up on Wikipedia language/layout and I'm not sure what we can offer by analysing this implementation.

NPOV Flagged[edit]
Towards the bottom of the article there is a part that is questionable, it says something about mirroring being a killer app. That is not encyclopaedic content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 01:42, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
Agreed, this is one of the most shamelessly biased and promotional articles I've ever read. I've flagged it as a POV violator—which is pretty obvious. It's full of ridiculous quotes about how it "solves all the nerdy problems." Even the criticism section ends with an unsourced sentence claiming, in effect "these problems will all go away." It actually cites the press release from the industry group that is promoting it. Someone should find some time to do a 100% rewrite of this article. Gerweck (talk) 19:09, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
NPOV and Copyright violation[edit]
The article reads too much like a press release. A more neutral point-of-view is needed overall and especially in the Advantages section. The opening paragraph in that section is a direct copy-paste from the Wi-Fi Alliance's Miracast page (which, oddly enough, is not cited). This needs to be changed to summarize the advantages, not copy-paste the Wi-Fi Alliance's content. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 22:20, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
Miracast do require Wi-Fi network![edit]
Miracast does not require access to a Wi-Fi network, as connections are formed via Wi-Fi Direct
This is bad phrasing. In fact any Wi-Fi device needs access to the network. The thing is that the networks may be different. In case of Miracast one of the station become Group Owner which manages infrastructure network type. See Wi-Fi Direct specification:
P2P Group Operation resembles infrastructure BSS operation as defined 4 in IEEE Std 802.11-2007 [1], and provides additions for a P2P Group 5 operation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 12:26, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Miracast failure[edit]
I added the section titled 'miracast failure'. Perhaps this title is too provocative, but this was certainly my impression even before c't magazine (highly respected German IT magazine) gave it weight with their investigation of miracast - the results of which seem to show pretty clearly that consumers should be warned before buying a miracast device. And that is my purpose in giving the information its own section. It appears that the only safe course for consumers is to buy a set of products from the same manufacturer, but consumers who do that (e.g. buy the HTC One and HTC's media link) are not the ones who will look at the wikipedia miracast article before purchasing.
Returning to the title 'miracast failure'. I think the conclusions of the article (and the experience of users) really are a failure of miracast: miracast certification does not guarantee interoperability and that is what the miracast certification is supposed to mean.Qwavel (talk) 18:31, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
- I'm changing the section title to "Criticism", which is the standard title for such a section. "Miracast Failure" is too provocative and moreover won't stand up well if the standard takes off. Microsoft has been working with Miracast vendors on compatibility to relieve the issues with first generation products, since Windows 8.1 supports streaming to Miracast. I'm a dev on Miracast at Microsoft. Zhuman (talk) 20:14, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
- @Zhuman
- Thanks for the changes and the explanation - that does make more sense. And I'm glad to hear that you guys are going to make it better. My only issue is the line "Firmware updates have solved many of these issues since then...". That is not my understanding and there is no reference for that, so I would propose to remove that, but leave the 2nd half of that line: "and support for the standard has been picking up". Or it could be "support is expected to improve as the standard matures".Qwavel (talk)
- Ok, I've removed that bit, at least until I can find confirmation from the press (hopefully it will arrive, haha). I can say from personal experience that the latest firmware updates for most Miracast adapters greatly improve on most of the issues, but you're right that I can't reference myself. Zhuman (talk) 21:30, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
Is Miracast delivered over TCP/IP?[edit]
There's some ambiguity in the opening description of this article, and also in the Disadvantages section, that would be cleared up by documenting where in the network stack Miracast sits. In other words, does it go:
- Wi-Fi Direct -> Miracast -> H.264
- Wi-Fi Direct -> TCP/IP (or UDP/IP?) -> Miracast -> H.264
In the former case, the Disadvantages section is disingenuous as it implies that Miracast is delivered over TCP/IP. --Mr. Bene (talk) 19:29, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

With support from Feeding America West Michigan Food Bank and a local homeless shelter, Dana Knight overcame homelessness with her health and dignity intact. For several months this past fall, Dana lived in the strange world of victimization and kindness that hundreds of Grand Rapids' homeless live in every day.
As many Americans prepare to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner, millions in this country still have trouble affording enough to eat. Moreover, poverty and food insecurity, or the share of households with difficulty affording adequate food, remain well above pre-recession levels -- signs of the critical importance of SNAP and other food assistance.
This week the world commemorates the killings, 25 years ago, of six Jesuit priests (five of them from Spain), the clerics' housekeeper and her teen-age daughter. All were killed on the grounds of Central American University, a Jesuit institution in the capital of San Salvador. In El Salvador, the memory of those events has never died.

Growing up, Marsha Blackburn learned that the promise of our nation depends on each generation of Americans working hard to leave the country a better place than they found it. As a small business woman, author, mother, grandmother, and Member of Congress, Marsha Blackburn has dedicated her service to the sacred obligation all citizens have to their communities: making Tennessee and America a better, more prosperous, and freer place.
Congressman Blackburn began her elected service career in 1998 as a Tennessee State Senator. Blackburn's Senate career was marked by her commitment to fiscal common sense and government accountability. She became known to her constituents for holding "budget school" in her district and across the state; identifying waste and offering solutions for a state in a budget crunch.
While serving in the Tennessee Senate, Blackburn led a statewide grassroots campaign to defeat a proposed state income tax. She earned the reputation as a champion of anti-tax and government reform issues, frequently appearing on local talk radio and even earning the attention of national publications like the Wall Street Journal and conservative groups such as Americans for Tax Reform.
Blackburn's reputation for focusing on individual freedom and free enterprise boosted her from the Tennessee Senate to the U.S. House of Representatives. Blackburn was first elected to represent Tennessee's 7th Congressional District in 2002, quickly becoming a leader in Congress and a leading voice advocating for a small, efficient federal government that is accountable to its citizens. She is regularly praised by good government groups like the National Federation of Independent Businesses, the Farm Bureau, the Chamber of Commerce, the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council and the American Conservative Union. She has been named a Taxpayer Hero by Americans for Tax Reform each year she has served in Congress. In 2007 Blackburn received the Conservative Leadership Award from the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute.
Congressman Blackburn is often selected by her colleagues to lead the charge for common sense reform. In February 2010 she was selected to represent conservative views on health care reform at the President's Blair House Summit. She has served on the majority and minority whip teams since her election in 2002, and holds a seat on the vital Energy and Commerce Committee which has jurisdiction over health care, energy regulation, and telecommunications issues. In 2006 the Independent Electrical Contractors recognized her as their Lawmaker of the Year.
Marsha has earned a special reputation as a bi-partisan leader and policy expert on telecommunications issues and intellectual property rights. She has strong ties with Tennessee's recording industry and the songwriters and performers who make it great. In 2003 Blackburn founded and serves as Chairman of the Congressional Songwriters Caucus to give the nation's creative community a voice on Capitol Hill. In 2007, she was awarded the Congressional Grammy by the Recording Academy; the White Hat award from the Nashville Songwriters Association and in 2008 received the Platinum Award from the RIAA.
In 2012, Health IT Now presented her with the HITN Innovation Award for her work in support of innovative solutions to our most pressing healthcare problems. Marsha has also been honored by the Family Research Council and the Susan B. Anthony list for her pro-life, pro-family work. And recognized by the Association of Children's Hospitals and the American College of Radiology for her leadership on healthcare issues. In April 2013 at the "Women Run The World" Half Marathon in New York City, More Magazine recognized Blackburn for her service in government by honoring her as one of 10 women who are making a difference in the world.
Blackburn was selected to serve as Vice Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee for the 113th Congress where she will continue to serve on four critical Subcommittees: Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade (CMT); Oversight; Health; and Communications and Technology. She serves on the House Budget Committee and is a founding member of the Republican Women's Policy Committee. Blackburn is also a member of the Smithsonian Libraries Advisory Board.
Marsha and her husband Chuck live in Williamson County, Tennessee. They have two children, Mary Morgan Ketchel and Chad Blackburn; and two grandsons. Blackburn is a native of Laurel, Mississippi and graduate of Mississippi State University.

2000 Lexus RX 300 4dr SUV AWD
I have had the alternator go out.
and countless sensors
it goes in the shop about 1 time a year for at least 500 in repairs. I will never buy a lexus again biggest piece of crap. I will buy a ford for my next car. I broke down 100 miles from home and had to hitch hike. scary. I [non-permissible content removed] hate this car

2000 AWD, purchased used in 2011 w 110K.
The good-smooth drivetrain, ride, reasonably comfortable seats.
Only replaced 1 O2 sensor in first 40K miles.
The bad-$$$ to fix: $1200 for timing belt/H2O pump.
At 152K, knock sensor and sub harness, air fuel ratio sensor, valve cover gaskets: $2100.
At 156K, front 2 catalysts: $900. The ugly: TERRIBLE MPG: Avg 16-17 around town, rarely more than 20 all highway.
The big culprit seems to be the gearing - very short geared - about 2900 RPM at 70MPH.
Extra weight for AWD does not help, nor do the side mirrors, the size of small flat screen TVs.
No compass. Radio and HVAC controls look the same.
Too expensive to own-would not buy another.

After reading reviews I thought I would add to the pot. My Lexus RX 300 SUV transmission recently went out and is in the shop as I type. Waiting for the transmission place to give me an estimate. He has had it and had to break it down. It needs to be replaced he said but is still calculating the parts and labor. I hate to hear what that is...I thought these were long lasting cars if you kept up the maintenance, which is why I bought it. It has 170K miles, so I guess it did last a bit longer than some of the others I read on the blog. I hope it runs like it use to or better after they replace this transmission.

Great SUV. Drives like a car and performs like a SUV. Very dependable and fun to drive. Having a few problems, fuel coils, windshield washer motor, wiring harness, less than 80k.

I only service my RX300 at this dealership based on their reliability and quality of work. In addition the personnel have been gracious and professional over the 10 yrs of ownership As an RN I know from experience the importance of qualities such as these in providing reliability and confidence as well as a level of luxury. I have driven this vehicle in treacherous driving conditions, including weather and traffic situations and marveled at the performance. Urban conditions are also more manageable because of the improved visibility from the drivers seat. Great Vehicle, Lexus!

The transmission went out without warning. I called Lexus, they said sorry about your luck. It will cost me $4200 to start for a reconditioned transmission. My mechanic said this model transmission is in such demand they are difficult to find. The name Lexus is nothing to me now!

Common problem with this model is transmission failure at 90k - 130k. Well, mine failed at 144,000k. This is a low end Lexus and would not recommend this vehicle to anyone.

Mt Murphy Bridge has Got To Go, or Maybe Stay
The Feb. 4 Board of Supervisors afternoon agenda focused on the "bridges of El Dorado County" — specifically Mt. Murphy and Bucks Bar bridges... Mt. Murphy Road Bridge crosses the South Fork of the American River at Coloma in the Gold Discovery Park...
Federal Highway Administration funds could provide 100 percent of the money to replace the Mt. Murphy bridge, Smeltzer said...
Supervisors voted unanimously to accept the DOT recommendation to "dismiss" any further study of rehabilitating the Mt. Murphy bridge...
The work would further require motorists to use a more-than-20-mile detour...
Supervisor Brian Veerkamp added a caveat to his motion to accept the DOT recommendations. If financially and structurally feasible, the county would like to retain the old structure as a pedestrian/cycling bridge. The span connects visitors over the river to the Coloma Resort and to the Marshall Gold Discovery State Park but is not a part of either of those entities. Smeltzer noted that rehabbing the bridge for that purpose would cost the county about $1.7 million as federal funding would not cover that kind of work, but that project could retain the bridge within the state's historical classification as the work would not be nearly as extensive as full rehabilitation...
Former DOT engineer and current president of the county's Historical Society Kris Payne noted that building a new bridge on the exact location could pose significant problems in the state park by jeopardizing sensitive buildings which could not withstand the "vibrations" from heavy construction equipment. "We should be looking for a location for a new bridge," he concluded...
Board Chairwoman Norma Santiago revisited an issue raised by Melody Lane, whose property adjoins the state park and is directly affected by the bridge and the road. Lane expressed grave concern for provision of an evacuation route that would allow residents to get out in case of fire or other emergency. She described an incident when a large recreational vehicle got stuck on the bridge temporarily preventing residents and emergency vehicles (had there been an emergency) from crossing the river. Santiago noted that an evacuation plan would have to be part of any analysis and future planning.

I agree Craig. The hypothesis I came up with is that the concrete through girder used to continue all the way across the river, until the pre-mentioned flooding event took it out (probably scoured out a mid river pier). Then the truss was more than likely installed later to clear span the normal river channel.
Five different construction plaques on bridge with three different years listed. Builders plaque on steel work on each end of bridge indicates 1915 construction date. County engineers plaque above South portal indicates 1916 year. Two plaques set in concrete on South approach less then 20 feet apart indicate 1931 on one plaque and 1936 on the other plaque. I suspect that this same 1915 truss has been re-installed in this location on multiple concrete piers after various historical flood episodes.

According to an Australian study published by the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, red wine contributes to better bone health in older men. Researchers found links between improved bone mineral density (BMD) and red wine consumption in men aged 50 to 80.
