I'm using an HID device to connect to a CAN bus with several different types of sensors attached. Some of them respond quickly, others have more latency.
I'm using this USB HID Component for C# as a .dll in visual basic, which works great. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/USB_HID.aspx
My current code for sending and receiving commands is somewhat troublesome. Sometimes commands and sent but not received fast enough. The problem can be with the sensor, not the actual vb code. We want the program to continue monitoring the other sensors, and not hang for too long.
Currently I'm using event handlers and loops, but I'm wondering if this might be better done by threading? or if my routine is the best for this situation.
Code Snippets:
Public Sub DataReceivedHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal dataReceived As DataRecievedEventArgs)
For Each byteReceived As Byte In dataReceived.data
rxDataStruct.dataPacket(rxDataStruct.InPacketLength) = byteReceived
rxDataStruct.InPacketLength += 1
rxDataReady = True
sendCommand = False
CANPort.rxDataReady = False
Tries += 1
If Tries > 4 Then
Exit Do
End If
'Wait for Return Packet
Do Until CANPort.rxDataReady = True Or _
CANTimer.ElapsedMilliseconds > timeout
If CANPORT.rxDataReady = True Then
sendCommand = True
Loop Until sendCommand = True

The Art Must Go On
After guiding the Phoenix Art Museum to greatness, director Jim Ballinger is retiring. Who will take up the brush?.
When Jim Ballinger came to work at the Phoenix Art Museum 40 years ago, he got a crash course in curating.
"I was the curator, the only curator. The curator of everything," says Ballinger, an art historian with a focus on Western American and American Modernism.
Long Distance Relationship
Extreme Valley runners take on long-distance trail runs, in the dark.
Last September, with McDowell Mountain Regional Park shrouded in darkness, Dave Bloom opened up his stride along the hardpack soil. His headlamp created a tunnel of light, illuminating only a few feet of trail at a time and occasionally catching the lurking figures of towering saguaros or creeping tarantulas. Alone, he was accompanied only by the sound of his footfalls and his own inhales and exhales.
Not Our Fault
Residents in the East Valley got a minor scare on Saturday, June 28 when a nighttime trembler rippled across southeast Arizona. Though not large by, say, Californian standards, the 5.2 earthquake was a generational event for some seismic virgins in the Valley. Just how rare are earthquakes in Arizona? On its website, the U.S. Geological Survey bothers to list just one: a 5.6 trembler on July 21, 1959, in the northern Arizona town of Fredonia. And that wasn't even a true tectonic-type earthquake. It was caused by a rock slide in the Grand Canyon.
Making the Grade
Phoenix teacher Kathleen Johnston gets an "A+" for uplifting students – and a grant from a national foundation to scale her methods across the country.
When Tuscano Elementary School teacher Kathleen Johnston asked one of her fourth graders, "Angela," to describe herself, Angela replied, "I'm pretty stupid."
Feeling slow and inferior may be common among students, but few confess it openly – or believe it as strongly as Angela, accepting her perceived lack of faculty as part of her very fabric. "I've had students who have been severely below grade level, but had never had a student who perceived herself as unintelligent," Johnston says. Johnston set to work, enlisting Angela's mother – who also struggled with literacy and reading comprehension – as a partner in her daughter's education inside the classroom and out. Johnston hosted an after-hours pajama reading night, where Angela, her classmates, and their parents could share their favorite books. At home, Angela and her mother read together and discussed the books, capturing their conversations on an old-fashioned tape recorder or a Smartphone video. At the end of the year, Angela was performing at grade level.
Team Mate
The Phoenix Zoo and ASU band together to conserve Arizona's endangered species.
At the back of the Phoenix Zoo, like the back of a classroom, dwell the misfits. Squirrels so sexually frustrating they attack a potential paramour on all but six hours in a single day of the year. Snails the size of Franklin D. Roosevelt's ear on a dime. Ferrets so disease-prone zookeepers must don biosecure clothing before entering their enclosure.
Identity Crisis
Weird science helps ID anonymous bodies found near the Mexico-U.S. border.
In 1998, the Pima County Medical Examiner's Office in Tucson recorded 11 deaths along the Arizona-Mexico border. Last year, it was 194, according to the U.S. Border Patrol. Often the bodies can't be easily identified – exposed to the elements of the low desert, the corpses have literally become dry enough to be classified as "mummified."
Social Safety Knot
Governor Brewer stakes her legacy on reforming Arizona's broken child-protection system.
During her tenure at Child Protective Services (CPS), former caseworker Ashley Kelly says she saw children who had just been removed from their homes forced to sleep overnight in agency offices before being placed in shelters come morning. Kelly says it happened more often toward the end of her two-year stint with the agency, when she found herself bathing children in the office, feeding them from her own paycheck and putting them down for naps on makeshift beds in her cubicle – all while earning $35,000 a year to handle four or five new cases per week.

It may seem unusual to hear chronically blunted spitter The Kid Daytona dedicating a record to the Man Upstairs, but there's no denying it—lead EP single God Is Good is pretty damn fresh. Over Statik Selektah's sunny, sampled production, the freestyle series alum praises the Lord for all the dope things in his life. Complete with an effervescent hook by Goapele, this upbeat jam is one of many fresh cuts set for inclusion on The Interlude 2, dropping at the top of next year.

Ways you Can Become a Better Artist.I've compiled some tips on how to become a better artist uwu
A lot of stuff has happened, sometimes I'm amazed that I learned so much in just a few months. I'm gonna take a hiatus (hiatus means short break from something) to focus on getting better.
I'm gonna leave some stuff here, to help you guys, as my last advice before I go onto my hiatus. If you guys have anything to add, feel free to comment.
Everyone should be an artist in some way, not enough people are.
Art, it is design, writing, illustration, sculpting, creating, painting, music, composing. The execution, is not important. It's your mind.
You cannot be great while having no imagination. Einstein was an artist.
First, here are some people who say stuff much better than I can:
"If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that vice will be silenced."
-Vincent Van Gogh

got the $13 million, clinical trials coming up
good time to buy now, the ducks are lining up
those that chased 27 burned again by the day trading machines. What a load of ..........
That's it folks, the first is the inventory.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Still alive in the IPO biotech sector, take a look at the ONCE chart
What a dud!
Can it have a negative worth after that? Meaning they have to pay you to take it?
Rape is what health insurance is. Should this company even have a publicly traded stock? No, you shouldn't be getting rich off people that can't afford health care. May ISIS get ahold of the greedy ones…...
Shame on all those shorting what america stands for!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
then put your money where your mouth is and buy DWTI, and hold long
They can lose 90% ++ or they can be a Home Run like Bluebird. And you really don't have a clue what is going to happen because that is all based on the testing results.
The only play in this market other than buying DWTI or DUST, has been to go long consumer names since 2009, which if you did, you could retire yourself and the next 5 generations of your family. If one didn't go long the market in 2009, it's just like not placing a bet on a mega jackpot: back to the drawing board to try and find another way to get rich. There will be another bear market but when it begins no one has a clue. And can it drag the DOW below 10,000 again? Maybe, maybe not.
way overdone
Sentiment: Strong Buy
You buy when all the late-to-the-party bears are shorting, works every time:-)
these gains won't hold because a good deal of them are short covering. Shorted 1k over 37, see you at 30
Sentiment: Strong Sell
wow! I didn't realize it was over $70.00 at one time! Maybe people are starting to realize that soda destroys teeth and cause diabetes
Good short anyone?
Market cap is what now with the Intel shares? $125 million?
I was right, now how cheap can it get is the question?

colonial house shingle sidings stain color?
We just moved into our new house this summer. We were told that the house is colonial style with white cedar shingle sidings. Typical house you would see in new england. As a matter of factor, we are not far from Newport, RI. We want to stain the house with either solid color or just apply bleaching oil to get the Cap Cod gray nature aging color. It is hard to decide because we saw most houses with bleaching oil ended up with an uneven gray color (looks like has been take care of for a long time. (Maybe we did not look at the real bleaching oil coated sidings? they might just let the sidings aging without put anything on?). I know our house is not an old house, but been lack of the history of these architecture styles, I wanted to ask what are the colors that we can choose to put on the sidings if we go with solid stain? The trims are white. We actually like the current nature wood color, but it won't last very long. Picture is attached.
Thanks a lot
Your house looks more like red cedar which can be left to age without a stain.
White cedar shingles are normally stained at the factory so all sides are protected.
What is often used in New England to make white cedar shingles turn a pale gray is Cabot's Bleaching Oil, a mixture of a bleaching chemical and a semi-transparent grey stain.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cabot's Bleaching Oil
Thanks for the reply, Renovator8. I have been doing research on the web and read about bleaching oil actually "bleach" the surface of the wood - which short its lifespan? From the wood perspective, what product is better to pretect the wood? Oil based semi-transparent stain, water-based (we have no oil based here) solid stain or bleaching oil?
Thanks a lot
A higher solids stain (solid or semi-solid) will protect the shingle from cupping & splitting much better than more transparent coatings.
The Western Red Cedar Lumber Association recommends oil based stains and primers. If water based stain is used, you should use two coats because oil stains penetrate much better than water based stains.

Take the cursed Jewel
And end my pain!

It was cold here, upon Taniquetil. The air was thin, and the snow on the peak never melted. The wind didn't blow. It was peaceful, serene a white silence stretching through the halls of Ilmarin. There, high above all, Manwë sat on his throne, and his sight was directed to the east. The threat to Middle-earth has been destroyed. The One Ring has been melted in the fires of Orodruin, and a new age began. Change could be felt all over the world. And yet the expression of the Elder King was not one of joy. His all-seeing eyes were half-closed, focused not on the happening in the world, but something else. A memory, maybe. Then h

It is time. I know it just as the birds know when to obey the calling of the wind and fly away from the cold lands to feel the sunrays on their wings again. I know it just as the tree knows when to say farewell to its leaves, watching them flutter to the ground one by one and giving something of itself with every leaf. I know that my time has come.
Sometimes I wondered how I would recognize it. How does a man know that he has reached the point where he can leave with dignity and greatness like the kings of old? How does he know that today is the day to die? It could be tomorrow and tomorrow again. One more day not for myself, but for the ones that I love. How can I leave them to grieving? How many times was I near death and only their love returned me to life, showed me the way through the shadows? How can I abandon the

He has wandered an eternity already, carrying his small harp for some indeterminable, compulsive reason, because it will be years before he can play again, if ever, and the sand blows into his eyes and into his throat as he sings. His hands are burnt and scarred and his voice is hoarse, and he wants to rip the strings from the taunting harp and scream, but he is unable to do either because it hurts too much.

The poets muse on Feanor,
While they should wish him nothing more
Than swiftly falling ash.
In reckless words we forged our fate,
In white-hot script for cracking slate,
Each syllable the world's weight -
But gladly were we crushed.
I saw blood in the soft sea wrack;
Each sea-elf dead a mirror's crack
In our own faces staring back
From all the noble slain.
In Dior's blessed and empty face
I searched for us but found no trace.
The mirror shattered. Only grace
We bear no more stared back.
The waves closed over Elwing's head,
Dissolved the Light that silver bled
Into a face that held no dread;
So different from ourselves.
Not princes now, nor kings, but thieves,
And reckless as the falling leaves,
We take the Jewels and my heart grieves:
For all the world is stained.

In blood spilt red as Nelyo's hair;
The golden Vanyar lying there
Dead, even as our hearts.

I met you as a child with plaited hair,
And wildness that I soon grew to adore.
Your ringing laughter echoed through the air
In joyous days when we did not know war.
Just when we felt our future was assured,
I lost you when our haven turned to black.
Through fire, ice, and shackles love endured-
You cut me out of hell and brought me back.
Since broken on the battlefield you lie,
What of my soul remains is now consumed
By guilt, for though I left you there to die,

Potential 2013 WR keeper picks
Fantasy Foresight: Are Julio Jones, Dez Bryant and Wes Welker keepers?
This week that trend will extend to wide receivers (with some tight end names thrown in for good measure).
Jones and White are both elite pass-catchers in many ways, but the issue in determining whether either is worth a valuable keeper slot boils down to if either can be trusted to generate significant point totals on a week-to-week basis.
To help figure this out, let's start by looking at their weekly point totals and gauge whether or not those marks are at the level of a quality start (defined as 7 points) or in the range of a double-digit start.

What are your fav California natives or drought tolerant plants?
We have a blank slate in our sunny front yard in sf Bay Area.
We just installed water guzzling sod and are looking for drought tolerant or California natives.
What are your favorites?
I was thinking of using French lavender between the sod and retaining wall, (as seen in picture in above post) but it is a 4 foot strip, so maybe we need two plants there?
Here is a picture of our house from street before sod was installed.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I would tear out that sod before it gets going just because of water rates. You could put in a salvias, lavenders and have families of hummers, butteflies, honeybees etc all move in.
I had a french lavender and it got to 5 feet wide. I got tired of hours of each each month of deadheading. It really attracts bees and in winter or cooler temps stays nice looking unlike spanish lavender.
If you are watering that sod with sprinklers, most natives you plant will be very unhappy, unless the drainage is really good. And of course, if it's really good then you're watering all the time...a vicious circle. Summer water shortens the lifespan of a lot of them. Most naturally go dormant or semi-dormant in summer heat.
There's a fair number of drought-tolerant plants that are happy to put up with summer water, though. Agapanthus, erysimums, lantana, tree roses (putting them up high keeps the water off the leaves, but get mildrew-resistant varieties anyway, with the fog), mini-shrub pelargoniums like "Vancouver Bicentennial", variegated boxwood, coleonema, dwarf cannas - I've had good luck with all of these on minimal water, once established, but they can handle additional summer water as well.
I have an evergreen bearded iris that handles summer xeric conditions like a champ, but 200 rhizomes were given to me so I have no idea what its name is. It's an older variety of iris, very vigorous and tough, with beautiful deep purple blooms. Last summer I divided and gave away at least 100 rhizomes because they were just taking over everywhere, LOL.
Lupinus albifrons is not only my favorite lupin, but my favorite CA native plant.
Also has gorgeous spires of purple-blue flowers in the spring. Easy from seed.
Natives/drought tolerant plants and sod are not usually friends. Not sure why you would want both in proximity to each other. At any rate, look for natives that do well in Northern California and grow in a riparian habitat. Not all natives are created equal.
I like Agaves; that Lupinus albifrons is gorgeous.
I have found if you really want to save water, plant shrubs and just get rid of the lawn--more water is required to keep a lawn looking good than to keep a large collection of thirsty shrubs happy--and less thirsty shrubs save even more.
Also, whatever your sod cost was, it is a tiny amount compared to what you will spend on maintenance and water. The cost of a lawn is in the maintenance. Shrubs cost a lot more initially but in the long run are much cheaper. Sod to install is cheap. That's why property developers put in big lawns with just a skinny strip of shrubbery at the base of the home--it's the cheapest thing they can do.
Of course if you have children who want to play out front, grass is the very best choice.
Your home is lovely, enjoy!
Thanks everyone. Great ideas. Love all the different varieties. Sounds like we are going to have to plant these in another part of our yard away from the sod. We do have young kids and are planning to keep the sod until it no longer gets used, then replace with lower water garden or hard scape patio.
Any suggestions on deer resistant plants that would make a great sod border?
Thanks again.
Hi, I am not a lawn fan, but do put up with them. You could get some semi-dwarf or dwarf citrus in that row; Spanish Lavender is smaller than the French and should look terrific.
This all assumes you have a separate irrigation zone / control for the strip; otherwise you will overwater citrus or lavender if on the same program as the lawn.
Although i highly recommend at least one Meyer Lemon, the deer can sometimes nip at the new growth. Deer haven't bothered my Limequats and Oranges (yet).
Another option is a row of crepe myrtles... tough, drought and moisture tolerant and they bloom like crazy this time of the year.
Good luck!
George K.
Linda I don't know where you are in northern California, but if Santa Rosa is convenient for you, be sure and check out Cal Flora just north between SR and Windsor. I was in there yesterday and the plants look better than ever. More natives than I have ever seen in one nursery. This is the slow time of the year and they have the time to help you make choices. Buy your containerized selections now, but wait for the start of the rainy season to plant them. I can never resist. Al
My favorite is Portulaca. I love the briliant multi-colored flowers. It only blooms in the summer. It will grow by the ocean or inland. The hotter it is, and the more often you forget to water it, the more beautiful the flowers are. It dies back by the end of Sept.
I can think of a couple natives that have some drought tolerance and can also take twice-a-week watering...
Arctosaphylos densiflora 'Howard McMinn" (make sure the crown is at least a few feet away from the lawn)
Arctostaphylos hookeri 'Wayside'
Mahonia aquifolium
Carpenteria californica
Rhamnus californica 'Mound San Bruno'
Ribes aureum gracillimum
Ribes sanguineum glutinosum (needs partial shade)
Physocarpus capitatus
Zauschneria septentrionalis 'Mattole River'
Zauschneria garretti
Arctostaphylos uva-ursi cultivars (Point Reyes, San Bruno Mountain, Pacific Mist)
Arctostaphylos 'Emerald Carpet'
Pretty house. I love the colors.
I love natives, but I think you should use something else in that spot- maybe Springtime Viburnums.
If that is a podocarpus up against your home please consider removing it immediately- they grow 60 feet tall and the trunk diameter will get huge very rapidly, even if you carve it into a rectangle. I have a hedge of them, and they are monsters!
Good luck with your landscaping project.
My dad had a podocarpus removed from the front of the house. It messed up the water lines and cost money to remove the tree and fix the water lines. Move that tree away from the side of the house would be my suggestion too. They are pretty and grow fast but can be trouble next to the foundation. My neighbor has one out away from the house. She has it clipped close once a year and it grows right back again.
You could try checking out Las Pilitas Nursery ( http://www.laspilitas.com/ ); it has quite an extensive database for native plants--including a native plant "finder" that will find something that suits your situation (though planting in proximity to the lawn might pose some issues from competition for nutrients). My personal favorites for California native plants are (as my ID indicates) Manzanitas (which aren't quite suitable to be placed nearby the lawn), California Fuchsias (these can be planted closer to the lawn if you want), Monkeyflowers (Mimulus guttatus can live nearby the lawn, being that it lives in riparian habitats in the wild), and Sages (there's so many aromatic sages in California, with some species capable of tolerating more water). California has quite diverse climate that produces various natives suitable for a multitude of environments; there's probably something that can work for you.

Society garlic would be a beautiful border, and it's completely edible! Pests hate it because it does smell like garlic! It's basically only 14" high, has clumps of green tall grasses and blossoms of lavender. It's drought tolerant, but will tolerate water. It needs sun!
It could be the transition between the sod and the really drought tolerant stuff!
Salvia leucantha (Mexican sage) grows here in No Cal everywhere, and it blooms all Summer, Fall, and most of the Winter. For some reason it does not usually appear on lists of salvias in catalogues - perhaps because it is cold tender, but that is not an issue. It is very drought tolerant.
Re a border for your lawn - don't forget to put in daffodils! The deer WILL NOT eat them. Make sure to get the "warm weather" kinds, not the big ones that need WInter chill to come back. You can find that out by googling, I am sure.
Re bulbs where you do not have irrigation - most of the bulbs from South Africa love our climate, without extra water. They are so popular around here the nurseries even carry them for Fall planting. Sparaxis, iaxa, and some of the species gladioli come back year after year - I have never had to replant them.

This would be a good place to cash in and buy back around $5.50 - $6
This is what you get for offering up your opinion. You gave some good advice at the time. A few angry cheerleaders that think the worst four letter word is sell.This Spainish debt downgrade is a dollar positive event. That hurts silver prices. There is no other way to spin it.
I believe this is yet another name for he who shall remain nameless. Ignore, ignore.
I think you should sell the fifty shares you own and wait for it to get down to 5.50 before buying back in.
Right. And in the meantime don't come back to this board.

The Aglianico grape varietal has been grown in the Campania region for thousands of years, and is believed to have come from ancient Greece, where it was an important varietal for the production of fine traditional Grecian wines. It became enormously popular in Italy, where it thrived beneath the hot sun, and was a key varietal for the finest Roman wines, prized for its thick black skin and high acidity. Because of their thick skins, Aglianico grapes have a high tannin content. In young wines, this can prove to be a little challenging, but with a bit of aging, the tannins mellow and round to produce beautiful wines of excellent balance. Because Aglianico grapes grow most successfully in hot and dry climates, they've had plenty of success in the New World over the past few decades, where they are often used for blending.
Campania may well be Italy's oldest wine region, with a history which spans over three thousand years and has endured throughout the rising and falling of empires. Today, the region's wine industry is as strong as ever, and consistently producing excellent wines of character and distinction, thanks to the dedication the wineries of Campania have for quality over quantity, and the love they have for their traditions and time honored practices. Of course, the region is helped enormously by the ideal climatic conditions it receives on the west coast of Italy, and the fact that the soils of Campania could be amongst the finest on earth for viticulture. For thousands of years, Campania has been the beating heart of the Italian wine industry, and this is one thing which is unlikely to change any time soon.
Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
