In a multi-station, demand assigned, time division multiple access system, digital information is communicated from a head end to a population of outstations so that all the outstations receive the stone stream of digital information and select their traffic from it. Traffic is only sent to and from an outstation when there is a demand for it. As the outstations are at random ranges from the head end, it is necessary to know the times of travel for bursts of information so they arrive at the head end sequentially. Free time in each frame is consolidated and made available for ranging-in outstations.
1. In a demand assignment, time division multiple access, communication system having a plurality of outstations operative for transmitting digital bursts of information in frames having multiple timeslots to a head station, said outstations being located in a range of distances relative to the head station,
a ranging system for ensuring the sequential arrival of the bursts at the head station, said ranging system comprising:
means at the head station for temporarily reserving a group of adjacent, successive, free timeslots in a consolidated time period in each frame when ranging-in is required;
means at the head station for ranging-in a new outstation demanding a timeslot assignment during said consolidated time period; and
said consolidated time period having a time duration sufficient to enable the ranging-in means to range-in an outstation located at a maximum end of said range.
2. The ranging system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the means for temporarily reserving includes means for assigning timeslots to each outstation demanding a timeslot assignment in a period of each frame other than said consolidated time period during a low traffic condition, thereby leaving said consolidated time period free of bursts from outstations.
3. The ranging system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the means for temporarily reserving is arranged to reserve the timeslots in the consolidated time period of each frame as soon as transmission of bursts from outstations in said reserved timeslots is terminated during a high traffic condition.
4. The ranging system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the means for temporarily reserving includes means for assigning timeslots to each outstation demanding a timeslot assignment in a period of each frame other than said consolidated time period, thereby leaving said consolidated time period free of bursts from outstations.
5. The ranging system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the means for temporarily reserving includes means for reserving the timeslots in the consolidated time period of each frame as soon as transmission of bursts from outstations in said reserved timeslots is terminated.
This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/976,978, filed as PCT/GB91/02198, Dec. 11, 1991, now abandoned.
The present invention concerns digital communication systems and is particularly concerned with multi-station, demand-assigned, time division multiple access systems in which a population of outstations communicate with a head end or head station via a common transmission medium. For the remainder of this specification, demand-assigned, time division multiple access systems will be referred to as DA-TDMA systems.
In such systems, digital information is communicated from the head end to the outstations in such a manner that all the outstations receive the same stream of digital information and select their traffic from it under the command of the head end. Traffic is only sent to and from an outstation when and to the extent that, there is a demand for it, e.g., in a DA-TDMA system forming part of a public switched telephone network when a call is to be sent to or from an outstation.
It is a characteristic of such systems that the outstations are at random and unplanned distances from the head end. The transmission of digital information from the head end to the outstations is known as downstream transmission. The fact that the distances between the head end and the outstations are random presents no problem to downstream transmission.
Digital information transmission in the other direction from an outstation to the head end is known as upstream communication, and this does present a problem. This is because it is necessary for upstream communications to be arranged so that they do not overlap in time and thereby interfere with one another. A well known method is to transmit a burst of information from each outstation that is carrying traffic at that time in turn, and so time the transmission of these bursts that they arrive at the head end sequentially and without overlap.
In order to achieve this, there must be knowledge within the system of the times of flight of bursts of digital information from each outstation to the head end. The process of gaining this information and putting it to use so as to avoid overlap is known as "ranging". The repetition rate and accuracy required of the ranging process depends on the nature of the system, that is, whether it is static, mobile, radio, cable T.V., optical, etc.
One application of such TDMA systems is to multi-point radio, optical and co-axial cable systems with fixed or quasi-fixed outstations. In such a network, the rate of change of range is very low, and a common technique is to "range-in" an outstation when it first wishes to communicate and subsequently to observe the relative time of reception of information bursts at the head end and, if necessary, marginally correct it by sending messages to the outstation during the subsequent period of communication by the outstation.
The present invention is concerned with carrying out the initial ranging-in of an outstation on "installation".
Two methods are already known for dealing with this problem. In the first method, a "dead time" or "guard time" is kept clear in the uplink or upstream transmission, specifically for the purpose of ranging. An outstation transmits a pulse or short pulse train, when commanded to do so by the head end, within this guard time. The time of arrival of this pulse or short pulse train at the head end is then measured by the head end, and information is sent to the outstation to transmit its uplink traffic bursts data at a specific time so as to avoid overlap with the traffic from other outstations.
In the second method, ranging information is transmitted from outstations on the uplink at a low level at the same time as the wanted uplink data, using a long digital sequence with a high autocorrelation function. This ranging information signal is kept low enough in level so as not to interfere with the normal uplink data reception. At the head end, a separate part of a receiver is employed, which determines the range using a correlator to identify the most likely time of arrival of this low level digital sequence.
Both these known systems have disadvantages, particularly in the case of multi-point optical, radio and co-axial cable TDMA systems. The first method results in a quantity of unavailable transmission time and can also involve digital storage and delay of the uplink traffic. The second method is complex and involves considerable digital processing. It also normally requires multiple transmissions of the ranging signal.
The present invention is divided from United Kingdom patent application Ser. No. 9026932.5. A further United Kingdom patent application Ser. No. 9126350.9, now United Kingdom Patent No. 2252882A, has been filed, claiming priority from that first-mentioned application.
According to the present invention, there is provided a ranging system for a multi-station, demand assigned., time division multiple access (DA-TDMA) system which a population of outstations communicate with a head end via a common transmission medium in frames having multiple timeslots. The ranging system ranges-in a new outstation by consolidating a group of adjacent, free timeslots in a consolidated time period of each frame, and by conducting the ranging-in of the new outstation during that consolidated time period.
The present invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a head end and some associated outstations in a DA-TDMA system;
FIG. 2 is a timing diagram of the sequential arrival of bursts from the outstations at the head end;
FIG. 3a depicts a prior art frame N having multiple timeslots, some of which are occupied by bursts received at the head end;
FIG. 3b depicts the frame N for the same level of traffic as in FIG. 3a, but with multiple, adjacent, free timeslots consolidated in accordance with this invention;
FIG. 3c depicts the frame N whose timeslots are being cleared during a "camp-on-busy" situation;
FIG. 4 is a block dial,ram of a ranging system at the head end of a DA-TDMA radio system; and
FIG. 5 is a flow chart depicting the operation of the system of FIG. 4.
Referring now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, tiffs shows a head station or head end HE connected over a transmission medium to a plurality of outstations OS1, OS2, OS3, . . . OSN, at distances d1, d2, d3, dn respectively. The system can be increased by the addition of other outstations, as is indicated. Upstream (uplink) and downstream (downlink) directions are indicated.
FIG. 2 is a timing diagram showing how bursts B1, B2, B3, . . . BN, of main traffic signals from the respective outstations to the head end may be programmed to arrive sequentially at the head end once the programmed delay times td1, td2 td3 . . . tdn, are known. The times of flight tf1 . . . tfn of the bursts B1 . . . BN from the outstations OS1 . . . OSN due to the distances d1 . . . dn are also shown.
In a demand assignment, time division multiple access, communication system, the plurality of outstations OS1, OS2 . . . OSN is operative for transmitting digital bursts B1, B2 . . . BN of information in frames having multiple timeslots over a common transmission medium, e.g., air space, (see "upstream" lines in FIG. 1), to the head end. Such a communication system utilizes a ranging system (see FIG. 4) for ensuring the sequential arrival of the bursts at the head end.
This invention is directed to how and when to install or "range-in" a new outstation that is demanding a timeslot assignment. The communication system does not want the information bursts from the new outstation to overlap those of other outstations.
In general terms, this invention proposes consolidating a group of adjacent, free timeslots in a consolidated time period, i.e., an undivided part, of each frame, and conducting the ranging-in of a new outstation during that consolidated time period.
In order that the principles of this invention may be more clearly understood, a typical design of a DA-TDMA system embodying the invention will now be described. It is to be understood that the bit rates, numbers of timeslots, etc., are far from unique and that other quite different DA-TDMA systems could equally well be designed to take advantage of this invention. The following description is of a terrestrial radio DA-TDMA system; however, it must be stressed that the principles of the invention may equally be applied to any DA-TDMA system operating over any continuously available transmission medium. Such media include, but are not limited to, point-to-multi-point optical fibre networks and CATV systems equipped with an upstream channel. All that is required is that one of the stations, designated as the head end, broadcasts continuously and is received by all the other stations, designated as the outstations, on one communication channel, and that all the outstations communicate with the head end over a second, shared, communication channel by bursts of information from each outstation which are only sent to the head end when there is traffic to be carded. Further, these bursts are sent from the outstations under the unique direction of the head end in such a way that they arrive at the head end without mutual interference.
The radio system described here collects 64Kbit/s digital PSTN traffic from a population of more than twenty-four geographically separate outstations contained anywhere within a radius of 33 km and concentrates this onto twenty-four 64Kbit/s channels in a T1 digital stream so that this T1 stream can be interfaced to a main PSTN network at, or upstream of, the head end. On the basis that the bulk of traffic is, for example, from outstations who are residential customers, one such DA-TDMA system might serve around 240 outstations; however, the number actually served is at the discretion of the DA-TDMA system operator and depends on the telecommunications traffic offered by the outstations and the grade of service the system operator chooses to provide. For this description, it is assumed here that all traffic consists of 64Kbit/s calls lasting a few minutes. In an actual system, a greater variety of traffic types might well be encountered, but this does not affect the principle of the operation of this invention.
The downlink digital traffic from the head end to all the outstations is sent as a continuous digital stream with twenty-four traffic timeslots in each frame. It is necessary in such systems to keep the overall delay to a minimum and, consequently, the frame is kept as short as possible consistent with an efficient use of the transmission medium. For this embodiment, the frame is 1 millisecond long. This is in line with general Bellcore [and British Telcom in the UK] requirements for access networks. Each one millisecond frame can, therefore, carry, at most, 1536 bits of traffic information which are organized into, at most, twenty-four traffic timeslots each containing 64 traffic bits. Added to this is maintenance and system overhead capacity on the downlink comprising 480Kbit/s, for reasons described below. The uplink and downlink digital rates are equal to simplify digital processing at the outstations, with the consequence that the overhead capacity needed within the system is determined by the more onerous needs of the uplink since these needs include synchronization requirements at the head end for each of the twenty-four upstream traffic bursts. An additional twenty bits are added to each upstream burst for head end synchronization and inter-burst guard time requirements. This leads to an internal system transmission rate of 24*[20+64] per millisecond or 2.016Mbit/s. On the downlink, all the timeslots for which there is no traffic are filled with a random pattern of digits to help maintain clock recovery at the outstations.
On the uplink, traffic from an active outstation arrives at the head end in up to twenty-four bursts contained with twenty-four timeslots. The outstations must time their transmissions so that these bursts arrive contained within the specific timeslot allocated to them by the head end prior to the start of a call. When a call is finished, the uplink and downlink timeslot:; that it occupied are relinquished, and the head end then reallocates this timeslot for a subsequent call; or, as is the subject of this patent, it puts it to use for some other purpose.
In order for an outstation to correctly time its transmissions, it must accurately know the time of flight of their burst to the head end. Before they are first brought into commission, they will not possess this information and its acquisition is the essential first part of the operation of ranging. In the radio system described here, the uncertainty in range of 33 km means that there is an uncertainty as to the time of flight of bursts to the head end of 110 μs; this is 33 km divided by the velocity of radio waves in air, which is approximately 0.3 km/μs. The total uncertainty as to the time of reception of a burst from the outstation, following a request from the head end to the outstation to send a short burst, just for ranging purposes, is twice this time of flight from the outstation, namely 220 μs. Accordingly, this amount of time has to be made available on the uplink by the head end when ranging-in a new outstation has to be carried out. This, of course, depends on existing uplink traffic not being interfered with. This means that: in order to use the principle of this invention; six consecutive timeslots of 41.7 μs, adding to 250 μs, must be made free.
While any six consecutive timeslots would suffice, an advantageous arrangement is to always allocate new traffic to the lowest number available timeslot in the frame and to always use the six highest number timeslots for ranging. The operation of ranging, then, has the least impact on the traffic being carried and can be effected more rapidly than with some other traffic allocation schemes. It must be stressed, however, that, while the strategy described above for allocating timeslots for traffic and ranging is sufficient, and is a beneficial strategy, it is not the only strategy for choosing a group of six contiguous timeslots.
FIG. 3a shows a typical pattern of bursts as received at the head end in a DA-TDMA system with a total of twenty-four timeslots in the Nth frame. Such frames are endlessly repeated. The actual maximum number of timeslots available for traffic depends on system design and the number twenty-four has been chosen for the purpose of this example only. The pattern of timeslots shown in FIG. 3a is essentially random. A pattern such as this would have resulted from the random assignment by the head end of timeslots to traffic as it presented itself, and as some of the traffic subsequently ceased. If there is no constraint on the use of timeslots, then they may be assigned to traffic as it arises in a random manner, until the frame is full. In this example shown, there are, in that particular frame, eight free timeslots, but with the longest contiguous free period being, by chance, only three timeslots long. If the timing within the system, and the distances to outstations, were such that, for example, six contiguous timeslots were required for ranging, then this operation could not take place with the traffic as shown.
FIG. 3b shows a pattern of bursts as received at the head end for the same level of traffic as in FIG. 3a, but where six empty timeslots have been consolidated into a period of contiguous free time suitable for ranging. In the example shown, these are timeslots 19 to 24 inclusive. In order to get these six timeslots free for ranging as shown in FIG. 3b, it is necessary either to wait until they are all free by chance or, more constructively, to alter the traffic assignment rules so as to progressively leave empty the six timeslots as calls within them are terminated and to allocate new calls to timeslots elsewhere in the frame, rather than totally at random. However, if the traffic is of such a volume that, during this "Allocate new timeslots not in the ranging block of timeslots" operation, less than six timeslots are available, then the only course of action is to wait until the traffic falls sufficiently. This method of allocation evidently gives precedence to carrying all the traffic the system is offered over the function of ranging-in a new outstation, but it will clear the six timeslots more speedily than a random traffic allocation arrangement will.
FIG. 3c shows a "Camp-On-Busy" situation. This invokes a different traffic assignment rule than that shown in FIG. 3b. In this case, the six timeslots shown are operated under the rule that existing traffic is not thrown off, but that once a call finishes, its timeslot is thereafter kept clear for ranging. In the example shown in FIG. 3c, all timeslots except timeslot 23 have been cleared of traffic. When that call finishes, the six timeslots will have been cleared for ranging. In periods of heavy traffic, this assignment rule will reduce the delay before all six timeslots are available for ranging compared with that shown in FIG. 3b, but it restricts the traffic-carrying capacity of the system from twenty-four to eighteen timeslots until ranging is complete. The Camp-On-Busy arrangement, therefore, results in the system giving precedence to ranging-in a new outstation over accepting new traffic, although it does not interrupt calls already in progress.
It would be possible to instantly force off existing traffic within the six timeslots in order to clear them but., in the area of public telecommunications, where DA-TDMA systems of the .type being considered here traditionally operate, this would not normally be the strategy of choice since service to customers is a first consideration, except possibly in an emergency where bringing an outstation into service is judged to be of overriding importance.
FIG. 4 shows a ranging system and FIG. 5 shows a flow chart of the operations within the DA-TDMA system that are necessary to range-in a new outstation. The flow chart has been intentionally simplified so that it does not include watch-dog timers, delays, or other related functions, in some of the loops shown. It will be evident that such additional features are necessarily also included in a practical realization.
Starting with the system in normal traffic condition (block 100), the system moves out of this state following receipt of a specific management instruction [A] received at block 102 to start the ranging procedure. Timeslots 19 thru 24 are then automatically checked at block 104 by the system traffic controller [STC], as shown in FIG. 4, to see if they are all free of normal traffic. If, by chance, they are free [C], they are then held free of traffic at block 106 and a new outstation is ranged in at block 108, following a successful ranging; at block 114, after which they are released at block 110 [J]. This might well be the case late at night, for instance, when traffic is low.
During the working clay, however, and particularly in the busy hour, it is unlikely that all of the timeslots 19 thru 24 will be free just when it is necessary to range-in a new outstation. If these timeslots are not free [E], then a management decision [B]is taken as to whether or not to wait until they are all free by chance [F], or to busy them out at blocks 112, 116, and 118, progressively until they are all free [G]. In the former case, they are then monitored and only when all timeslots 19 thru 24 are free [C] are they then all busied out, and ranging carried out. If, on the other hand, it is decided to use the "Camp-On-Busy" function [G] at block 112, then each timeslot between numbers 19 and 24 inclusive is held free for ranging [H] as soon as it becomes free of traffic until all timeslots 19 thru 24 are free [C], when ranging is carried out [D]. All timeslots 19 thru 24 are then released at block 110 for use by normal traffic [J].
FIG. 4 shows the components of the head end of this DA-TDMA radio system insofar as they relate to the realization of this invention. The parts not shown in detail are common to any DA-TDMA radio system and consist of the digital processing and the interfaces to the communication network standing above the radio system, typically the PSTN. It is to be understood that the following description of how ranging is carded out, once six contiguous timeslots have been made available for this purpose, will be known to those skilled in the art. The essence of this invention relates specifically to how the time in the frame is made available to do the ranging.
When ranging is to be carried out, management instruction input signals A and B, as described with relation to FIG. 4 above, are sent to the system ranging controller [SRC]. This interacts with the system traffic controller [STC] until all six consecutive timeslots 19 thru 24 are held free of traffic as described above and are, therefore, available for the ranging operation. When this has occurred, a message M1 is sent to the outstation to be ranged-in via the maintenance message insertion [MMI] component and the downstream radio transmitter [DRT].
At the start of the first free timeslot, i.e., No. 19, a signal S1 at the head end is sent from SRC to a ranging timer [RT] to start it counting. At the outstation, consequent on the receipt of message M1, a short ranging pulse is transmitted back to the head end. It is transmitted at the point in time that the outstation detects the start of the first free timeslot, i.e., No. 19. Back at the head end, this short ranging pulse is received by upstream radio receiver [URR] and detected by a ranging signal detector [RSD], which has already been enabled to carry out this detection function by an enabling signal S2 from the SRC. Having detected a ranging signal, the RSD sends a stop signal S3 to the RT. It will be seen that the count accumulated by RT, denoted by the signal S4, is a measure of twice the time of flight from the head end to the outstation in units determined by the speed at which RT is clocked. It is usual to measure the time of flight to an accuracy in excess of one bit period. The actual accuracy of measurement depends on the strategy used for timing recovery at the head end by the URR and is not central to this invention.
Count signal S4 is fed to a ranging time store [RTS] which holds all the S4 signals for the whole population of outstations. These S4 signals are measures of the times of flight from each outstation to the head end. The ranging sequence is repeated several times to ensure that an adequately consistent value for S4 is obtained before the next step of the ranging procedure is instigated.
Once a consistent value of S4 has been achieved for the particular outstation being ranged in, the SRC reads this out as signal S5, and transmits it to the outstation via MMI and DRT. At the outstation, this time of flight signal, S5, is stored. At the head end the SRC instructs; the STC to release timeslots 19 thru 24 for normal traffic. The outstation now has the information it needs to transmit bursts to the head end without their clashing with bursts from any other active outstation.
When the head end is aware that there is a call for a particular outstation, it sends a message to it via MMI and DRT to use a particular timeslot for this call; for example, timeslot 17. The outstation then uses S5 to calculate at what time before the receipt of timeslot 17 it has to transmit its upstream burst so that it is received at the head end within timeslot 17. The guard times referred to above are allocated to account for all the timing errors in this process.
Once an outstation is sending normal traffic bursts to the head end, a separate, in-traffic, control function is activated to re-measure the exact position in time of each traffic burst on a continuing basis. This is sometimes called a "vernier" timer. The values of S4 for each outstation are regularly updated by this means whenever an outstation is active and, if necessary, messages are sent to the outstation to update its value of S5. This in-traffic vernier timing control function uses some of the same components of the system described above to achieve its end.
In summary, the timeslots are demand assigned and, thus, are only present when required for traffic purposes. In this case, there will be a traffic-dependent amount of unoccupied time in the uplink (and downlink) time frame. By organizing the uplink time frame so as always to consolidate an adequate amount of this "free" time, all in one undivided, i.e., contiguous part, this free time can be used for the purposes of ranging-in outstations. To be able to do this, however, the free time must be sufficiently long to cover the uncertainty in range to reach the furthest outstation. A maximum range to the furthest outstation is a necessary characteristic of the system. There are two ways of ensuring that this free time is long enough. The first, and most simple, is to wait until the volume of traffic falls, and then for the head end to issue a repeated call to the outstation to range-in, which operation would only take tens of milliseconds, at most, when effected. Such a sequence would normally be matched by network management control of the head end, knowing a specific outstation was coming into service and would then be effected automatically once the outstation was installed and set to work.
The second way during periods of high traffic is to use a "camp-on busy" function, i.e., for the head end to progressively reserve time on the system as calls are terminated until enough free time is available. Once the outstation is ranged-in, the system is released for normal traffic to use again. Both these ways require that the head end initiates the ranging procedure.

It's EASY to post pics here now. Yay!
Hi everyone,
Just a quick note to say Gardenweb has added a nice easy way to post pics now, so no more struggling through hosted picture sites and html tags. Now when we're typing our posts, right above the "subject of posting" field is a "browse" button that we can all use to browse on our computer for a pic and then upload. So easy and fun, so hopefully EVERYONE can post some pics of your great plants and gardens now.
For fun, I'm uploading a quick and casual pic of some orange lantana in my garden growing in front of a couple different types of Opuntia, the one on the right is one of several spineless types I grow, developed by Luther Burbank as cattle feed for arid regions. So easy to add photos now. Thank you gardenweb!!
Let the uploading begin! Take care and happy gardening, Grant
This is the best thing GW has done since I joined! :) Can we add more than one image?
The single pink cosmos flower was added via the upload link, and the trio was added the old way. The image added with the link appears at the bottom of the message. When I used the browse option, it showed up perfectly in the preview under my text. Then I added the picture of the trio using the code (the old way) and it overrode the first picture. I had to re-add the single pink cosmos picture again using the browse button. So I think if we want to add multiple pics in a message, we will have to do it the old way except for the last shot that will appear at the end. First enter your pics and text, then Preview Message, and and then add the last picture. Every time I'm editing this message I have to re-do the directly uploaded picture because it doesn't save in the edit.
Fun fun fun! Thank you Gardenweb!
Mary, your adeniums look GREAT! I love them. Mine had a big flush of blooms last month but are mostly making leaves right now. Looking good! I think I see a variegated pepper plant in the pic. Is it? Is it a variegated fish pepper? Or maybe something else? I grew some variegated fish peppers two years ago and really liked them. This year I'm growing the super variegated super dwarf 'Shue' ornamental hot pepper. Whatever your is, it's great!
Very nice pics, haname, I love them. It sure looks like a hybrid zinnia to me instead of a cosmos, but I could be wrong (hey, it happens). It looks like one of the hybrid zinnias with Z. angustifolia in its heritage. In any case, very pretty blooms and from here it looks like both pics worked. How happy are we?! VERY!
Here's a quick upload (how nice is that) of a plant I've shown over and over for years now, since buying it as a single rooted cutting in 2007: the contorted-leaf orchid cactus Epiphyllum guatemalense 'Curly' plus a pot full of its seedlings. Such a fun, great plant. It sits outside all year on the covered patio where it gets winter sun and summer shade. Wilson the tennis ball added to show relative size.
Me so happy! :)
Take care all, happy gardening and happy uploading!
Grant, feed the heck outta those adeniums with superbloomer and dont be afraid to water more than most succulents while in leaf.
Love that contorted leaf thingy! Reminds me of kale. Is that one of those plants that you're supposed to bring in in winter, but doesn't really care about the cold? I have Xmas cactus outside and it stays there all year, no worse for wear.
Grant, you're probably right on the flowers, I am not as well versed as you are in these matters, and it is entirely possible that the plants were mislabeled when I bought them. Thanks for the comment. Don't the cosmos have finer foliage than what is seen on mine?
Also, where can I buy Adeniums locally? Yours are gorgeous, Mary.
Thanks, azant. The extent of my collection of this sort of plant is a regular old Madagascar palm. Well, two of them. Your collection posted on the What's Looking Good thread is really nice. My favorite is the Pachypodium densiflorum var. brevicalyx.
I noticed a collection of African succulents at HD today, and was sorely tempted to buy a bunch of them. :)
Thanks haname, I highly recommend broadening your horizon with the succulents :) Just be careful what you pick up at the box stores as they MIGHT already be rotting before you get them home =/ They are also notorious for selling succulents that just dont work here or succulents you really have to keep after to make them happy. Be sure to know also when their resting season is so you dont overwater. Correct soil formulation is key as well. I have seen too many succulents offered here at box stores grown in PEAT! Fine n' dandy if you want a mushy plant and good luck watering it if it is allowed to go dry...
Thanks for those tips re: succulents ant. I've not been successful in the past. Try try again....
The varigated plant is an aleppo pepper, first time trying them. I love the spice and it's pricey at the stores so I thought to grow my own. I should have left her in that pot. I transplanted to the garden and she's stuggling, not dead yet though. I have a couple more. I can start one or two for you if you like Grant (anyone), I still have seed.
The adeniums I bought at the Metro Tech sale last fall. One was covered in aphids but after a good hosing they have not come back. Sorry, I can't find contact info for the vendor.
I don't think that's a cosmos either, yes, they are a bit more 'dainty'.
Fun updates, keep them coming. It's so great that it's easy to upload pics now. Love it! Yes, the orchid cactus (contorted form of Epiphyllum guatemalense) is one that folks say should come indoors, but I just leave it out all year, and have for several years now, and it grows and blooms nicely (the blooms are super small and boring and only open for a few hours just after midnight, phooey). Anyway, thanks for commenting and for all of the fun pics.
Thanks for the information on how you grow your fatplants, azant. I do feed and water mine heavily during summer, they're just taking a quick break. I'll slog some more on them. These are ones I've had for many years and really enjoy. And thanks for mentioning about the peat based soils, so bad for C&S! You're good!
I'm sure others will chime in with local sources for adeniums, but most local nurseries carry them in summer, as do the Big Box hardware stores, so they're not hard at all to find in summer.
Happy gardening and pic posting all!
About time! Here's a desert willow flower from a tree that just popped up in the side of my yard. I love when that happens, that was 2 years ago and today it's about 15 feet tall.
Beautiful desert willow, sherizona, thanks for posting it. They're one of my favorites too. Great pic!
Take care and happy gardening everyone!

Stand Strong: You Can Overcome Bullying (and Other Stuff That Keeps You Down)
About the Book
Stand Strong: You Can Overcome Bullying (and Other Stuff That Keeps You Down)
With no arms, no legs and no defense, Nick Vujicic was once a bully's target and knows what it feels like to be picked on and pushed around: It makes your stomach hurt, gives you nightmares, and feels like there is no hope in sight. But Nick shows how you too can overcome and rise above bullying.
No Bully Can Define Who You Are
Nick has experienced bullying of all kinds for being "different." But he's learned that he doesn't have to play the bully's game --- and neither do you. In STAND STRONG, Nick gives you strategies for developing a "bully defense system," so you can handle bullies of all kinds by building your strength from the inside out.
Find out how to:
- Turn being bullied into a great opportunity (yes, really!)
- Create a safety zone within yourself
- Establish strong values that no bully can shake
- Deal with cyber bullies
- Develop a spiritual foundation to stay strong against bullying
- Monitor your emotions and control your response to them
- Help others who are being bullied
Are you facing the unwanted attention of a bully? You can stand up to the challenge, because you have greater power over your feelings and your life than you may think! Just ask Nick --- the man with no arms or legs…and "a ridiculously good life."

So. . . I just finished my 1st keg of homebrew. I used a picnic tap, with one foot of hose. I forcecarbed (just invented a new word!), and kept it at 10 lbs of pressure.
Here's the deal. It foams like crazy when I pour it. I've heard that I can buy the $40 taps and it won't do that. Or that I can vent the keg it each time before I pour it, or that Austin Home Brew sells a thinner and smoother(?) hose that won't let it foam up like that.
My question is:
Is there another way?
I can't afford the new tap, have heard that venting could affect the taste of my beer and don't want to order and don't trust the other tubing.
Surely, among all of the keggers out there, you know a way to keep the foam down without resorting to any of those measures.
Thanks in advance.
Desert Planet Brewing Co.
Primary :Bloody Nose Porter
Primary 2: Bloody Nose Porter
Secondary: Blackberry Melomel
Secondary 2:air
Bottled : 14 Pound Hammer Cider, Punkin Ale, know ale, Domino wheat
Keg 1: **** Inside Her
Keg 2: IPA
Keg 3: one on a weeknight, two on a weekend IIPA
Future : Ginger Cream Ale,
I'm assuming everything is at a proper temperature. Could it be the 1 foot hose? Try using about 6 ft. I don't remember any of the crazy math and physics involved, but I know the length of the line affects the carbonation. I only have a party tap, but the hose is about 5-6 ft. My keg is only at cellar temp and the foam is not bad.
It's not the speed, but the resistance and pressure. Search balancing draft lines or resistance similar to find all the crazy equations. The short answer, more tubing, less foam when using the same pressure.
Yeah, You need at least 5 feet of hose. Another problem could be the beer line was warm. That will create foam.
Usually when my system foams, it means it was over-carbed too. It only happens when I force carb it too.
Yup. More hose should do the trick. Try 5~6 feet.
What size hoses are you using? If you are using 3/16 inch ID you'll need 1 foot of hose for every 2 psi. The equivalent for 1/4 inch ID hose is about 20 feet give or take.
All has to do with the resistance...
Check this guys page out..He has an excellent explanation of the line length and PSI chart...He's about 2 hours away from me and makes commercial and homebrew kegarators.....His prices are all in $US as well and he'll ship anyway.....http://neatbrewingideas.ca/faq/carbonation.htm
Yeah, I'm using the bigger stuff. I don't think I can get the smaller stuff locally. Are there other sources for that? Maybe a drug store?
I just called my LHBS and he said that I need to keep it at 2 lbs instead of 12. He's the only person I've ever heard reccomded that. He's also the guy that told me I only needed a foot of hose. He seems pretty knowledgable, but that's kind of weird. The guy has been kegging for years, so I can't completely write off his opinion.
I'd try get as close to balancing the system as I could. I'd do this by adjusting the length of the hose as much as possible instead of trying to change the PSI in the keg (to the extent that you can).
Over time, I think the CO2 will come out of the beer and you beer will be flat and still possibly foam due to higher PSI in the keg.

HAVE: Anyone want one of these?
imjustgil(Z6 TN)July 26, 2007
These are pups with some root stock intact. I divided a 5" pot full and these need a new home. These are potted in 2" pots so you have an idea about plant scale. They are greening back up, they were in full sun a week ago and showing out in a nice pink and lime green hue.
I have five pups to trade...so make me an offer.
Oh and if anyone knows what this is, help with the ID is always appreciated.
I'm easy so anything will probably be accepted except common Aloes, I got a huge plant already.

Justin Bieber Conjunctivitis, Pink Eye Infection, Hiding His Face From Paps Because Of How His Face Looks
Justin Bieber is has come down with pink eye infection. He recently revealed that he washes his hands before holding his penis because his hands are dirtier than his penis even though he sleeps with hookers.
Bitty's security guard told photographers after he was leaving Beverly Hills doctor's office that he is suffering from pink eye infection. The guard said: 'He's not giving out pictures because he thinks he has pink eye.' Hopefully it's not something more serious like herpes.

Electrochemical oxidations of H2 and CO fuels are both considered. The model consists of an electrochemical, a chemical model, and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. Two chemical models are compared to examine their effects on SOFC modeling results. Different from the previous studies on hydrogen fueled SOFC, higher gas velocity is found to slightly decrease the performance of SOFC running on pre-reformed gas mixture, due to suppressed gas composition variation at a higher gas velocity. The current density distribution along the gas channels at an inlet temperature of 1173K is quite different from that at 1073K, as DIR reaction is facilitated at a higher temperature. It is also found that neglecting the electrochemical oxidation of CO can considerably underestimate the total current density of SOFC running on pre-reformed hydrocarbon fuels. An alternative method is proposed to numerically determine the open-circuit potential of SOFC running on hydrocarbon fuels. Electrochemical reactions are observed at open-circuit potentials. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z The effect of using group decision support systems in value management studies : an experimental study in Hong Kong http://hdl.handle.net/10397/7286 Title: The effect of using group decision support systems in value management studies : an experimental study in Hong Kong Authors: Fan, Shichao; Shen, Geoffrey Q. P. Abstract: A group decision support system (GDSS) can be helpful to VM users overcome difficulties in value management (VM) workshops. A web-based GDSS known as interactive value management system (IVMS) is introduced in this paper. A comparative experimental study is undertaken to investigate the extent to which the use of IVMS can improve the performance of VM workshops by using a competing value approach (CVA). This study compares and contrasts the performance of a traditional VM workshop with an IVMS-supported VM workshop in three aspects: (1) process measures, (2) outcome measures, and (3) participants' satisfaction. The process measures indicate that IVMS is helpful in improving the efficiency, information reliability and supportability of decision and participation process, while the outcome measures show groups supported by IVMS perform better in ideas generations. The results also indicate that the use of GDSS results in increasing participant satisfaction. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z Group decision support systems in value management http://hdl.handle.net/10397/7285 Title: Group decision support systems in value management Authors: Shi, Chao Fan; Shen, Geoffrey Q. P.; Luo, Xiaochun Abstract: Value management (VM) practitioners often encounter problems of lack of active participation and insufficient time and information in decision analysis. The use of a group decision support system (GDSS) is proposed to overcome the above problems by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of VM studies. In order to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) for implementing GDSS in VM studies, an experimental study was conducted to simulate the use of GDSS in VM studies, and then a questionnaire survey was conducted to collect the views of the participants. Factor analysis was used to explore the underlying critical success factors, and the results indicated that certain requirements must be met for the successful application of GDSS in VM studies. In particular, a VM team with an appropriate computer skills mix, and GDSS with good utility were believed to be the most significant underlying factors. Besides these, two other factors, system capabilities and experimental settings, should be also considered in order to achieve a successful application of GDSS in VM studies. 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z A comparative study of standard contract conditions for energy performance contracting in Australia, Canada and the United States http://hdl.handle.net/10397/7181 Title: A comparative study of standard contract conditions for energy performance contracting in Australia, Canada and the United States Authors: Lam, Tsun-ip Patrick; Lee, Pan Abstract: Outlines the concept of energy performance contracting (EPC) between building owners and energy service companies to ensure returns for the former's investment in energy conservation measures, and compares the characteristics of the standard forms of contract for EPC in Australia, Canada and the US.

text: Harris Poll -- NFL still most popular; MLB 2nd - ESPN Don't anyone tell The Boston Globe! In 1985, the first year the poll was taken, the NFL bested MLB by just one percentage point (24 to 23 percent), but since then interest in baseball has fallen while the NFL has experienced a huge rise in popularity. Nine percent fewer fans call baseball their favorite sport over the 30-year span, the biggest drop of any sport. The polling numbers suggest that the sport hasn't been able to recover from a popularity standpoint from 1994, when a strike forced the cancellation of the World Series. 30 years of dominance with MLB enthusiasm falling precipitously that is outside of Cambridge MA where the pseudo intelligentsia extoll BB's supposed cerebral aspects (as if)

Rules For Your Office Halloween Party
Penguin Books is notorious for throwing a wild and woolly annual Halloween party in our office hallways. Just how haywire have things gotten in past years? The facilities team felt it necessary to circulate the following guidelines.
1. Decorations should not create tripping hazards.
Is it a tripping hazard if you can't walk through it?
2. Sharp objects, such as razors, box cutters, syringes, etc, may not be used as part of decorations.
So much for our Breaking Bad theme idea.
3. Please, no open flames
At this point you can hear desperation seeping into the tone of the facilities memo.
4. Animals, other than service animals, are not permitted on the premises.
But it's a hot dog! Not an animal!
5. If serving red wine, please use caution; any spillage may result in damaging stains.
A very good point, for more occasions than just our Halloween party.
6. Copiers and other office equipment may not be removed, covered and/or decorated.
Well fine then. In the words of Don Draper, "Fear stimulates my imagination."

We have fallen in love with the beauty of kauai and it's people. We chose The Waipouli Beach location because it's so convenient! Theres a shopping mall across the street and it's within 30 minutes to either the north shore (Hanalei Beach) or the south shore (poipu Beach). We have provided the fun goodies to allow you to travel to Kauai and pack minimally. If it is snorkeling gear, boogie boards, ice chest, beach towels, beach mats, or sand toys you need, they are available for your enjoyment. We have also supplied a Kauai book selection, a "take-one-leave-one" library, popular board games, and a complete set of movies filmed on Kauai. You will enjoy trying to identify where the scenes were filmed.

Amazing family vacation!
Aug 04, 2014
This vacation rental is truly wonderful. The condo was stocked with absolutely everything we needed--we especially appreciated the amenities for our small children! The condo itself is tastefully furnished and spotlessly clean. The owners and manager were gracious to our requests and clearly care about providing a memorable experience for visitors. The resort is amazing... my children returned home and have repeatedly asked to go back to swim in the pool! We loved exploring the tide pools on the beach outside the resort. The resort was also well-situated for runs along the beach and travel to other areas of the island. We definitely plan to return next year, and we know where we will stay!

|Showalter ejected in 2nd inning against Blue Jays
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 21 June 2013 15:16
Baltimore slugger Chris Davis struck out swinging to begin the second inning Friday night, but the pitch got away from catcher Josh Thole and Hernandez originally ruled it a foul ball as Thole threw to first base.
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons came out and the umpires huddled, then called Davis out.
That brought out Showalter for an animated discussion with Hernandez. After being ejected, Showalter pointed at all the umpires, then mimicked throwing them out of the game.
It was the first ejection of the season for Showalter and the 25th of his managerial career.
