At a forum held for developer professionals today, Pica8 chief architect David Liu demonstrated an open production-ready software defined networking (SDN) platform that enables the open source community to develop specific applications, such as multi-path network optimization or firewalls.
Speaking as part of the "Tech Talk" lecture series at Hacker Dojo, a non-profit community center comprised of developer professionals, Liu gave a primer on what developers need to know help users configure Pica8's open switches to work in various application scenarios. In particular, integration of the open switch with OVS—making it an Open OVS Switch and then building an interface to a RYU OpenFlow controller. Additionally, Liu showed how to regulate flow configuration between the RYU open flow controller and the OVS interaction.
"SDN and open networking will move from concepts to best practices once developers and businesses are able to see these practices in action and understand how they gain value and help manage costs," said Liu. "I believe today's demonstration was successful in giving a jump start to those interested in SDN by showing the types of virtual switches and controllers that can be used in production environments and how to configure the new and necessary devices and protocols."
About Pica8, Inc.

Even though it's now Microservices Journal, long-time fans of SOA World Magazine can take comfort in the fact that the URL – soa.sys-con.com – remains unchanged. And that's no mistake, as microservices are really nothing more than a new and improved take on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) best practices we struggled to hammer out over the last decade. Skeptics, however, might say that this change is nothing more than an exercise in buzzword-hopping. SOA is passé, and now that people are ...

This excerpt from Lonely Planet's Caribbean Islands guide provides a selection of travel literature to get you in the mood for your trip.
Reading books while lounging on some lovely beach is for many the perfect trip (in addition to a sublime rum punch, of course). One way to extend the joy is to start your Caribbean reading before you go. The following books will inform, entertain and inspire you before and during your trip.
Pin this image Dead Man in Paradise: Unraveling a Murder From a Time of Revolution by JB MacKinnon. The author's uncle was murdered in the Dominican Republic in the 1960s. Plunging deep into the countryside, MacKinnon unravels stories of corruption and dictatorship.
Pin this image The Slave Ship: A Human History by Marcus Rediker. Over three centuries, 12 million Africans were brought to the US and Caribbean as slaves. Few accounts survive, but using existing records Rediker constructs a complete and horrifying picture.
Pin this image The Republic Of Pirates by Colin Woodard. By the 16th century no ship in the Caribbean was safe from pirates. Woodes Rogers was given the job of wiping them out. He did and Blackbeard lost his head.
Pin this image Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World by Dan Koeppel. Dictators, American marines and slaves helped make the banana the world's favorite fruit. Its impact on the Caribbean has been enormous and now it faces genetic extinction.
Pin this image Breath, Eyes, Memory by Edwidge Danticat. Oprah loved this tale about a girl living a simple life in Haiti, who then goes to live with her mother in New York City. The descriptions of West Indies life are lyrical.

Dr. So is an amazing doctor, I was diagnosed with kidney cancer and I was in to see him and had my surgery within two months. Each visit I had with him he was polite and friendly and was actually early each time. Would highly recommend him and his wonderful office team.

Dr. So is extremely knowledgeable. He was instrumental in helping my mother and my with her bladder tumor caused by a metastisation from endometrial cancer. He explains things clearly and thoroughly, and backs his recommendations with information as well as other options for the family to consider. He is a solid specialist that I trust. He has wonderful bedside manner. His responsiveness to any questions or concerns (even calling long-distance) were oustanding and greatly appreciated. Wait times in offices were never long (15-20min) and the office staff were always responsive, courteous and professional. My family and I sincerely appreciate the care and attention he has given my mother through this unfortunately health challenge. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. So.

In July 2014 I had my bladder removed by Dr. ALAN SO. My reflections on this :
1) Staff- called me for appointment after my GP called Dr. So. They said I was "URGENT" and got in very quick.
2) Dr. So. Wait in office about 15 min. Met him- a nice Asian chap- mature beyond his age with knowledge beyond anyone else......this took 15- 20min but I do not remember.
3) Surgery- tough - but went well. 6 days in hospital. Had a 'cath' left in for about 2 weeks. Dr. So made me a NEW BLADDER!
4) After: Dr. So called 2 weeks later- "ALL CLEAR - NODES NEGATIVE and MARGIN NEGARTIVE"- yippee!
5) Thanks to Dr. So, his team, and VGH!

I had retroperitoneal fibrosis for I had several surgeries beginning Jan 6. I cannot thank Dr. So enough. He did a fabulous job and am very pleased with Dr. So. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr.So.

So I'm not sure why there are so many positive reviews of Mr. So as the time I saw him he seemed to be quite two faced. he would beam a big smile but when I asked a few questions he began to roll his eyes, yes roll his eyes like a child, and became furious! To his credit he did try very hard to mask his reaction. it seemed like he simply didn't like me but that's how it always feels when you deal with a selfish bully. It was a completely odd sight to see this highly paid man revert to immaturity at public expense. I was in no way rude or unreasonable with my 4 different questions before he wanted me out of the office with his last response being that he nor did the science know the cause to my issues. He never became overtly aggressive but the wave of anger that rolled through his face was obviously surprising & disappointing. Bad day or bad guy? I'm not sure as I saw him the one time.

My visit was a follow up to a DRE for prostate issues. His resident, who was quite helpful, prior to me even setting eyes on Dr. So, did the DRE. My PSA count had been slightly high, and due to genetics, when Dr. So did appear, he had started the procedure to book me for a prostate biopsy. The discussion of this occurred in the boardroom next door, without me being privy to it. Poor bedside manner. Poorer yet was the description of the procedure - and I quote - "the ultrasound will be put up your bumhole" - really Dr So? Is that a term now used in medical school? Must be as he used it twice. Anus and rectum must be too complex for the general public. When I asked if there was any other alternative, he did not recommend or even mention the PCA-3 test. He also did not mention the myriad of reasons for false positives on PSA scores, including sexual activity, bike riding or a DRE up to 3 days before the PSA test, all of which I had done. This was poor and doctor driven health care.

Dr. So performed very difficult, lengthy and challenging surgery on me for a comparatively rare (one in every 200,000 people)problem called retroperitoneal fibrosis. In layman's terms, this is a fibrous growth which progressively interferes with the ureters. The operation was successful, and I will always be grateful to Dr. So. He is calm, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and candid with his advice. I was in great hands throughout.

Superb fellow. Saw me before surgery to relax me and afterwards as well. Although my problem is not as serious as others, this doctor truly cares for his patients. His dedication, in my opinion, is amonst the top in his field.

Dr So removed my kidney cancer, words will not express how great this man was throughout my ordeal. He took time out to explain my procedure to me and was very kind and calm. He has excellent bedside manners and came to see me every day after my surgery. He is a very gifted surgeon who cares about his patients, he is what every doctor should be, yet what many cannot be. We are soo lucky to have such a great surgeon right here in B.C. Would recommend without a doubt. He personally returned all my phone calls and even called my family right after my surgery. Most of all he is very kind and polite. Thank you Dr. So for being such a wonderful doctor and for saving my life.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY — Phoebe Putney Health System paid almost $1 million in total payments made in lieu of taxes made for Phoebe North as well as other properties in 2013, officials say.
In December, Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital made a payment of $628,653 to the tax director of Dougherty County under the Voluntary Payment in Lieu of Taxes, or VPILOT, program, officials said Wednesday, to make up for the lost ad valorem taxes when Phoebe North — formerly Palmyra Medical Center — was acquired by the Hospital Authority of Albany-Dougherty County and subsequently taken off the tax rolls.
In addition, Phoebe officials say, voluntary payments have been made over several years on a number of properties the health system owns that are not being used for medical purposes. For the 92 acres that applies to in Dougherty County, Phoebe made a payment in December of $274,138 in property taxes. For the properties in other counties, $2,006 was paid to the city of Dawson, $7,451 went to Terrell County, $2,464 was paid to the city of Americus, Sumter County received $21,836, the city of Pelham got $923 and Mitchell County was given a payment of $813.
This comes out to a total of $938,284 in VPILOT payments last year.
"To the tune of $938,000, we are a good corporate citizens," said Kerry Loudermilk, chief financial officer for the health system, at the hospital board meeting on Wednesday.
The hospital board approved the VPILOT agreement in 2012 that commits officials to make annual payments in lieu of taxes on the properties acquired by the Hospital Authority as a result of the purchase of the former Palmyra. Tommy Chambless, senior vice president and general counsel for Phoebe Putney Health System, said then that officials had considered this an important element so the $195 million purchase of the 18 properties included in the acquisition would not be detrimental financially to Dougherty County taxpayers.
On Wednesday, he said essentially the same thing.
"The whole point was to make sure the tax base was not negatively impacted," Chambless said. "I don't think the administration at Phoebe, the boards or the Authority that, when the acquisition was made (they wanted it to) negatively impact the tax base. They've done exactly what they said they would do."
Just prior to the regular hospital board meeting, there was an annual meeting conducted Wednesday for the election of officers. John Culbreath and Mary Helen Dykes are remaining in their positions as chair and vice chair, respectively. Committee assignments have Tim Dill as the hospital's Finance Committee chair, Mary Helen Dykes as the Professional Affairs Committee chair and Ron Wallace as the Community Benefit Committee chair.
The VPILOT payment for the 2012 calendar year was supposed to be in the sum of $376,612.01, the amount of ad valorem tax paid with respect to the acquired tangible properties in 2011. The agreement stated that future payments may be affected by changes in the Dougherty County millage rates as well as future changes reflecting the fair market value of Phoebe North properties.
The VPILOT agreement was executed on Aug. 1, 2012, the same day the amended and restated lease for Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital that brought Phoebe North under the same license went into effect.

Animal under shed
What kinds of animals will dig under a shed? There were two holes at the base of the entrance to my shed in the backyard, so I knew something was digging there. What's funny is that I covered up the holes one afternoon, and an hour later (still during the daytime) one of the holes was back! What are some likely culprits?
It could be any of the above as Dorie has mentioned, I bet it is groundhogs.
Be careful it is not Rats,! they will dig and burrow under sheds, houses, etc. I heard Fox urine which you can buy over the net controls small animals. I have it posted on another site in regard to how well this fox urine works but have had no replies so far. I think I just may go buy some to keep away mice from getting into my garden since I live in a rural area. BTW I am having problems with Carpenter bees right now which I am searching for solutions to fix the problem. They are drilling numerous amounts of holes into my deck. I hope you find was is causing your problem. P.S. Moth balls are also recommended as a deterent of small animals. But the smell is awful.
Good Luck.!
In every area of the country it is illegal to use moth balls except as prescribed on the package. Large print on the side says it is illegal to use this product except as prescribed. Now I doubt that the moth ball police will come and arrest you if you do use them to deter animals but I also doubt that you really want the product in your soil, even under a shed.
We have groundhogs in the Chicago area. We put basketballs over the tunnel holes and keep an eye out for where and when they try to go in.
If it's a groundhog, and the area it lives in is well-traveled, you should take care of the problem. We had groundhogs for years and years, attracted by the crabapple trees. After about 7-8 years or so, we had two broken ankles and a broken front axle on the riding lawn mower because the tunnels started collapsing.
- Lisa
We made a pen for our rabbit neat the storage shed and he was tunneling under the shed.
I have tried mothballs for all pests and they never work--don't waste your money. By the way where do you buy fox urine--I'd like to try that--I have a critter (must be a woodchuck)that ate a huge hole through my plastic and chicken wire fence to get to the beans--hope it had a major tummy ache.
The fox urine worked for me. I had a woodchuck under my shed this spring who mowed all my chard,lettuce, and spinach seedlings and trampled a daylilly. I put the fox urine powder on paper plates and slid them under the shed and flung some cat poop and cat hair under there and he moved on. I also read that shiny, moving things bother them too so I put some kids windmills around the yard and haven't seen him since. p.s. All the plants recouperated except for the trampled daylilly (it bloomed sort of sadly) but I had a great harvest!
Put the Rat posion in the shed and lock it when your not using it. Also if you find a hole in your yard put your garden hose in it and go inside.(Might take awhile to fill den/flood other holes.) This will flood the den,(cruel but effective.) This will also show you where the other holes are so you and your neighbors can fill them.
(Best bet is to use small pebbles/rocks then pack dirt over it, or cement the top of the pebbles/rocks with
quick creat, if nothing else put a heavy rock over the filled hole so they cant get to it.)
Anything to keep them from re-digging their way back in.
Keep in mind that burrowing animals learned a long time ago how to make tunnels that would not flood, because if they did not learn that they would not be here today. Flooding any tunnel is not only a waste of your time and energy but a waste of water also.
I usually only had one or two chipmonks and one little hole, this year I got two new kittens and wanted them to watch the birds from the patio, so I fed the birds all winter, I now have a tunnel under the right side of my shed and they poke their heads through one tunnel and then race to the other, just like in a cartoon. I can't stand it. I quite feeding the birds 1 month ago, and they must be upset. I need to fill in the wholes and put moth balls or something and cement. I do not think they are cute, because in the past 40 years, we have spent money on cement around our porches, steps etc., retaining walls, to much damage, they are just rodents, so maybe soon I'll put the kittens out to fetch some of these critters. I am an animal lover, however, when the property keeps getting damaged, that's enough for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Champagne of grains
Locally grown barley is not only a nutritional powerhouse, it's versatile and tasty, too
Canada is one of the top barley producers in the world, the Prairies offering ideal growing conditions for this nutrient-packed grain. But how often does barley make it to Canadian tables?
A new cookbook by food writers Pat Inglis and Linda Whitworth should help barley reclaim its place in Canada's kitchens. With over 100 recipes, Go Barley: Modern Recipes for an Ancient Grain (TouchWood Editions, 245 pages, $29.95) showcases barley's nutritional benefits and culinary range.
"In Canada we kind of forgot about barley a little bit. In a lot of cultures, it was relegated to a poor man's food," explains Whitworth, a home economist who works for Alberta Barley. "Right now, with the resurgence of people wanting to eat whole grains and ancient grains and the interest in eating local, we have an opportunity to remind people that barley is out there."
"It meets all the criteria," says Whitworth. "And it tastes wonderful."
Go Barley launches tonight in Winnipeg at McNally Robinson Booksellers, with the two Calgary-based authors on hand to speak and sign books. (And yes, there will be tasting samples of some of the recipes.)
Inglis, a home economist and food writer, cites barley's versatility. "We started out with some of the more traditional uses, like beef-and-barley soup," she says. "But the more we worked with it, the more we found it was such a wonderful ingredient to use in so many ways."
Beyond those hearty wintertime soups and stews, barley works well in a range of foods, adding nutty taste and chewy texture to salads, risottos, pilafs, stuffings and vegetable dishes. Whitworth particularly likes using barley in salads: "It's got a nice strong bite to it when you put it in a salad, and it just seems to enhance all the other ingredients."
Barley flour contains loads of fibre while retaining a smooth, silky texture. "It adds a rustic aspect to baking," says Whitworth, and pairs well with chocolate and spices.
Barley even comes to the rescue of a dish that can easily become a culinary disaster: the veggie burger. When they were developing recipes for the book, Inglis remained apprehensive. "I kept putting it off," she admits. "Finally I got to the point where I had to face up to the barley burger. And now that might be one of our favourite recipes."
"It's delicious, and it doesn't fall apart on the grill. It's a wonderful vegetarian barbecue option."
As Canadians become more concerned about where their food comes from and what's in it, barley seems like a natural go-to option. Barley is packed with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fibre. Also, the fibre goes all the way through the grain, so even pearl barley, in which the bran is removed, boasts a lot of fibre.
Barley is easy to cook with and convenient to pick up. Pot and pearl barley can be found in any supermarket. Barley flour and barley flakes are sold at bulk- and health-food stores, as well as some grocery chains. (Just stick to small amounts of the flour, advises Inglis, because it doesn't keep as well as standard wheat flour.)
To expand my own barley range -- previously restricted to thick soups -- I experimented with a barley risotto, which requires almost no stirring; a cool, crisp, refreshing barley tabbouleh, perfect for a hot summer day; and a quick, healthy granola made with barley flakes. (All recipes taken from Go Barley by Pat Inglis and Linda Whitworth.)
Spinach, Smoked Salmon and Barley Risotto
15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
250 ml (1 cup) pot or pearl barley
80 ml (1/3 cup) dry white wine or water
1 900-ml (32-oz) carton reduced-sodium, ready-to-use chicken broth
170 g (6 oz) smoked salmon, cut into strips
170 g (6 oz) baby spinach, cut into smaller pieces
250 ml (1 cup) grated Parmesan cheese
10 ml (2 tsp) lemon juice
In a large skillet over medium-high, heat oil. Add onion and garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add barley, stirring until well coated. Add wine or water and cook until liquid has almost evaporated, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover pan and simmer for 45 to 55 minutes or until barley is tender, stirring vigorously halfway through for 15 seconds. Stir in salmon and then add spinach; cover pan and simmer until spinach is barely wilted, about 5 minutes. Gently stir in cheese and lemon juice. Makes 4 servings.
Tester's notes: An easy version of a favourite comfort food, the starch in the barley combines with the broth for a smooth, creamy, slightly soupy finish. This rich dish could also be served in smaller portions as a first course.
Barley Tabbouleh
250 ml (1 cup) pot or pearl barley
500 ml (2 cups) water
250 ml (1 cup) chopped fresh parsley
125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh mint
125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped green or red onion
1 small cucumber, coarsely chopped
60 ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
60 ml (1/4 cup) fresh lemon juice
2 ml (1/2 tsp) ground cinnamon
4 ml (3/4 tsp) salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 plum tomatoes, chopped
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
In a saucepan over high heat, combine barley and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer; cover pan and cook for 40 minutes, then chill. In a large bowl, combine chilled barley, parsley, and mint. Add onion and cucumber. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt, and pepper; pour over barley mixture and mix well, then refrigerate. Shortly before serving, stir in tomatoes. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Tester's notes: I love how the chewy barley complements the crispness of the chopped vegetables. If there's any leftover water at the end of the cooking process, drain the barley before refrigerating. Make sure to leave plenty of time -- a couple of hours, at least -- for proper chilling.
Barley Granola of Grains, Nuts and Fruit
500 ml (2 cups) barley flakes
500 ml (2 cups) quick-cooking rolled oats
125 ml (1/2 cup) unsweetened shredded coconut
125 ml (1/2 cup) walnut pieces
125 ml (1/2 cup) pecan pieces
60 ml (1/4 cup) raw sunflower seeds
60 ml (1/4 cup) raw sesame seeds
5 ml (1 tsp) ground cinnamon
150 ml (2/3 cup) liquid honey
5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla
375 ml (1 1/2 cups) raisins or dried cranberries
Preheat the oven to 150 C (300 F). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets. In a large bowl, combine barley flakes, rolled oats, coconut, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and cinnamon. In a small bowl, combine honey and vanilla. Pour over dry mixture and toss thoroughly. Spread granola on prepared baking sheets and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown, stirring halfway through so mixture browns evenly. Remove trays from oven. Stir in raisins or cranberries and let granola cool completely. Once granola is cooled, remove from sheets and store in an airtight container. Makes 8 serving (250 ml or 1 cup each).
Tester's notes: I'd never made granola before, but with a recipe that's as easy and healthy as this, I'll definitely do it again. It takes some steady stirring with a wooden spoon to evenly distribute the honey through the dry ingredients. Make sure to check on the granola a few times near the end of baking time to avoid scorching.

"We stayed in this unit for 6 weeks, and found it to be very nicely furnished, with lots of extras, like extra paper products and paperbacks, etc. The owners were very easy to work with and responsive to our questions. The complex is quiet and well maintained, with a lovely pool and hot tub. The patio faces north, so it didn't catch much of the winter sun. The community dumpster was near the front of the unit, and the trash was collected twice/week early in the morning. The complex is convenient to grocery stores, restaurants, and many of the hiking trails in the Catalinas and Sabino Canyon."Guest: aj Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: February 23, 2015View listing
"The copper house was perfect for our one week stay in tucson. It is full of natural lights, simplify but tastefully furnish. We enjoyed peaceful evening on the patio before dinner. The bed is super comfortable. The owner is very easy to deal with. The house looks exactly like in the picture. Overall was a great experience and would recommend to anyone looking for an alternative from chain hotels and do not mind the modest looking neighborhood."Guest: laongdao s. Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: February 9, 2015View listing
"I originally stayed rented out the Hacienda Hideout while I was in grad school back in 2009, and I loved it so much that I promised myself I'd come back at some point. Although that was five years ago, I finally made it back, and I am still in love with this place. Even though I was an older student when I stayed here the first time, this place was/is like the ultimate getaway and is a great place to stay for weekend trips, a romantic getaway, or for the ultimate snowbirds. Each time I came home, I felt like I was escaping from the city! It is a cute little guest house on a ranch just yards away from the main house with stunning views of the mountains on the eastern and western sides. You are essentially surrounded by nature-- a saguaro and barrel cacti outside your window and depending on the season, you might see a fox, javelina, hummingbirds, deer, or owls in the yard! The house is a designed in a very traditional Southwestern style with polished concrete flooring, sturdy hardwood and quality leather furniture, authentic Southwestern decorations, and includes a washer and dryer! There is a back patio with an amazing view of the mountains and is great for breakfast and enjoying the sunsets. You don't want to miss out on this one! The location is perfect, too! It is also conveniently close to Gates Pass-- allowing easy access to watch the sun rise and set everyday if you wish along with the Saguaro National Park (west side), the Desert Museum, and old Tucson. Downtown is close by and there is a farmer's market along with several grocery stores nearby, as well. The landlords are amazing, too-- very down-to-earth, friendly, and accomodating people-- they go out of their way to make you feel at home. I asked if the guesthouse had a juicer, and they bought one! I have rented guesthouses all over the country, and I have to say that this place is my favorite of all. Trust me on this one, folks-- you don't want to miss out!"Guest: Tanaka Date of Stay: April 2014 Review Submitted: April 12, 2014View listing
"This was our second stay in this condo - obviously we enjoyed it the first time to 'repeat', but this time the Tucson weather was glorious. The condo is comfortable with all the necessary amenities. We filled the hummingbird feeder (found in the closet) the first day and enjoyed 3 or 4 hummingbirds the entire time. We loved sitting out on the patio with the beautiful mountain view. The walking path around the complex was great. Kitchen had all necessities for cooking. We hope to return."Guest: Anonymous Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: January 28, 2015View listing

Will the seeds from a single fruit produce identical plants?
I know that often times fruits do not come true by seed.
But say I planted 20 pomegranate seeds from the one same fruit, will all of the offspring be identical or will there be variances in the set?
Or do variances only occur if I get the seeds from multiple fruits that have each been pollinated by a different tree?
Raw is right... even though the seeds have the same parents (or parent in the case of many self-fertile plants like pomegranate), they will be genetically different since they are like regular siblings, but not twins. I imagine there is a great deal of genetic variation in pretty much any pomegranate variety.
Some plants do produce twin seeds, called polyembryonic. They are easy to recognize since you will see two embryos inside one seed coat (try opening some mango seeds and you'll almost certainly find some like this).
If you plant seeds from a Flavor Grenade - they most likely won't be one of those.... That's an interspecies hybrid.... No telling what you will get....
There are some really old "Land race" varieties of self fertile fruit - that more or less come up reasonably true... assuming they came out of a fairly good sized block of the same trees... A good example of this is the Indian Cling peach....
But... Unfortunately, you just have a pretty darned good chance you won't get the *Same* as the parent... That's why folks graft or do vegetative propagation....
But.. Don't let that stop you from trying it out.... While it may not be identical - it may very well be worthwhile none-the-less...
Thanks guys for your input.
I see what you mean fabaceae, thanks for the explanation. So it looks like the seeds from one fruit will produce offspring with different traits. I have seen seeds with two embryos inside one seed coat, I think they're common in orange seeds.
@Bradybb. Yea most likely you won't exactly get a grenade pluot. Funny thing is, I tried the grenade pluot for the first time a few days ago and that fruit is pretty delicious, it's very sweet. I would love to have a tree.
More about pomegranates...
as you probably already know, they are very easy to root from dormant cuttings, which is the typical form of propagation.
Several common named varieties were selected seedlings of other earlier varieties. Granada, to name one, is a bud-sport (a mutation) of Wonderful, and the famous new variety Angel Red is thought to be a seedling of Granada. Of course these examples are all one out of thousands that did not make it to the big time, so to speak.

Primary E.raminer-Roy D. Frazier Assistant Examiner-Terrell P. Lewis Attorney, Agent, or Firm-James J. Cannon, Jr.; James J. Cannon [57] ABSTRACT An electrical connector socket is disclosed for mounting an integrated circuit package on a printed circuit board or wire wrap board, which circuit package consists of an integrated circuit, a housing and one or more leads extending from the housing. The socket comprises a base with one or more socket holes for receiving integrated circuit leads, an electrical contact member communicating with the socket for each lead,
and at least one electrical contact pin for each lead extending from the base and positioned a substantial distance from its related socket hole. The contact pins are used to connect electrically the socket to the printed circuit board and are spaced a significant distance from their respective socket holes to provide alternative geometric as well as electrical connection points in laying out the design of the printed circuit board or wire wrap board.
3 Claims, 12 Drawing Figures ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR SOCKET FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to electrical connector sockets for integrated circuit packages and more particularly to sockets which are to be attached to printed circuit boards or wire wrap boards.
2. Description of the Prior Art The prior art is replete with novel and inventive designs for electrical connector sockets for attaching andconnecting' integrated circuit packages to printed circuit boards. For example, designs exist which hold the integrated package in a socket and make electrical contact by using a spring clip or pressure pad. Numerous terminal clip devices for securely gripping the integrated circuit lead in the socket for a firm electrical connection are also known.'Many other variations too numerous to enumerate are found in literature and previously issued patents. No sockets however, are presently known to the inventor which provide an electrical terminal or contact pin for the printed circuit board purposely spaced a substantial distance from the integrated circuit lead socket hole which when used either with the lead itself protruding through the base or a second contact pin located at the socket hole provides a choice of two terminals for the purpose of simplifying art work and eliminates the need for jumper wires over the socket position.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention may be summarized as an electrical connector socket for integrated circuit packages for use in printed circuit boards which connector is characterized by one or more electrical contact pins afixed to the socket base positioned a substantial distance from their respective integrated circuit lead receiving socket holes. Two species are disclosed in greater detail vbelow. The first utilizes the integrated circuit lead itself, extending through the socket hole and base as a second electrical contact pin. The second embodiment provides a second electrical contact pin directly adjacent to the socket hole as part of the socket itself.
Thus, for each integraged circuit lead, two spaced apart contact pins for making connections to the printed circuit board are ultimately provided when the integrated circuit and socket are installed on the printed circuit board. This greatly facilitates the physical laying out of a printed circuit board design since each integrated circuit lead is now accessible from at least two opposed geometric points about the socket on the board. Those skilled in the art will appreciate the time, space, and material saving advantages of the choice provided by two spaced apart socket to printed circuit contact points for each lead rather than one. By use of the invention, it is now possible in most cases, to connect two circuit terminals at separate socket locations upon the circuit board by a much straighter, simpler and more direct printed circuit line or lead than before, since it is no longer necessary to loop around or circumvent the socket position.
By simplifying the printed circuit layout design, time is saved in laying out the board, and the reliability of the end product is increased by reducing the length and complexity of the printed circuit leads.
These and other advantages of the invention will become more evident from the descrition of the preferred embodiment and drawings which follow.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one form of the preferred embodiment with a portion cut away to reveal a component of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a top view of a component of the invention;
FIG. 4 is a side view of the component of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is an end view of FIG. 1 with the workpiece inserted;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of an additional embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 7 is a plan view of FIG. 6;
FIG. 8 is a cut away view of FIG 6;
FIG. 9 is a bottom view of FIG. 6;
FIG. 10 is a side view of a component of the invention in the first stage of manufacture;
FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the component of FIG. 10 in the second stage of manufacture; and
FIG. 12 is a perspective view of the component of FIG. 10 in the third stage of manufacture.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring first to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is respectively shown a perspective and plan view of one form of the socket which comprises the invention. Socket 10 consists of an upper base half 12 and a lower base half 14. Integrated circuit lead receiving socket holes 16 are positioned in two rows along the longitudinal axis of the base and extend through both the upper and lower halves l2 and 14. Held between the two halves of the base as shown in cutaway view portion of FIG. 1 are electrical contact assemblies 18, one for each socket hole, consisting of an electrical contact member 20 communicating with the socket hole, electrical contact pin 22, and electrical lead 24. The assemblies may be held in place by any convenient method. For example, the two halves of the base may be inleted sufficiently to receive the body of the assembly and the two halves epoxyed or otherwise joined together.
In use, the base is fastened to the upper face of the printed circuit board by any conventional means such as clips or nuts and bolts not shown, electrical contact pins 22 extending downward through a hole in the board to provide electrical terminals for the printed circuitry contained on the under face or lower side of the board. An integrated circuit package is mounted on the socket by pressing the integrated circuit leads into the socket holes such that they extend through the base to the under face of the board a length approximately equal to that of the contact pins.
As illustrated in FIG. 3, electrical contact member 20 is further composed of tabs 26 formed out of the face of contact member 20 by cutting or stamping out slots 28 and 30. Integrated circuit electrical lead 32 is slightly larger than slot 28, and upon insertion, forces the tab downward into the portion of the socket hole in the lower half of the base. The forward upper edges of the tabs grip the lead establishing electrical contact and securing the integrated circuit package as shown in FIG. 4.
Referring to FIG. 5, there is shown an end view of socket 10 mounted on printed circuit board 34 with an integrated circuit package 36 inserted as described above. Contact pin 22a attached to the base by lead 24a forms a terminal a substantial distance from and opposite integrated circuit lead 32a. The lead itself forms the second terminal which as heretofore explained provides two contact positions for printed circuit leads instead of the single terminal found in prior art sockets. Thus a printed circuit lead drawn from the left of the socket may now be terminated in the vacinity of contact pin 22a instead of integrated circuit lead 32a, eliminating the necessity of looping the lead around the socket or using a jumper wire as has been required before. If the lead originated on the right of the socket, it could of course, be terminated on the right and connected directly to lead 32a.
The same is true to the electrical contact integrated circuit lead pair 22b and 32b. Depending upon the originating point of the printed circuit lead, either may be chosen as the printed circuit lead terminal without extending the lead around the socket position. The usefulness of the invention will be more appreciated upon consideration of the complexity of a printed circuit board serving as a base fora plurality of integrated circuit packages, each package having a plurality of leads. In present day technology, it is not unusual to find boards which incorporate several hundred leads. When a lead is looped around a socket position, it will ordinarily cut across the path of other leads and cause congestion in the vicinity of the socket. Only a few such loops are needed to complicate the lead path layout and require a considerable amount of trial and error layout attempts to sort the board into an optimum lead configuration. By eliminating the need to skirt the socket position, more direct paths from socket to socket may be constructed, eliminating the conditions described above and saving considerable layout time and redesign. Further, simpler layouts result in additional material savings during board manufacture since the likelihood of shorts requiring rejection of the board are commensurately reduced.
Referring next to FIGS. 6 and 7, there is illustrated in perspective and plan view respectively, an additional embodiment of the socket comprising the invention. Base 38 has a plurality of integrated circuit lead receiving holes 40 arranged in two rows on step portions 42. Indentation 44 optionally provides a polarity key for inserting integrated circuit packages in the proper orientation. The purpose of the design is the same as that described above, i.e., to provide two spaced apart terminals or contact pins either of which may be designated to be connected to the circuitry of the printed circuit board at the option of the layout designer.
FIG. 8 is a cutaway end view of FIG. 6 showing an arrangement of electrical contact assemblies 46a and 46b, each having electrical contact members 48a and 48b, first electrical contact pins 50a and 50b, second electrical contact pins 52a and 52b and connecting leads 54a and 54b.
FIG. 9 is a bottom view of the same socket illustrating further the positioning of the contact assemblies to achieve the dual spaced apart printed circuit contact pin design which as discussed above is the essence of the invention. Like numbers refer to like parts of FIG. 8.
Referring next to FIG. 10, an electrical Contact assembly is shown in the first stage of manufacture, that is, as a configuration which has been punched out of highly conductive sheet metal, preferably a beryllium copper alloy having a certain amount of spring characteristic. The parts are identified as in FIGS. 8 and 9 above.
Tabs 56 and 58 fold along dotted lines 60 and 62 as shown in FIG. 11 to form an electrical contact member for the integrated circuit lead 64. When pressed into a socket hole, the lead will spread tabs 58 which then grip the lead surface to form the connection.
The final form of the assembly is illustrated in FIG. 12. Arm 54 has been bent at point 66 to fit the configuration shown in FIG. 9 above. Tab 68 is pressed out of the back of the contact member to provide a holding catch when the assembly is forced into receiving slots in the base.
It should be obvious to those skilled in the art that the socket of the present invention may be utilized with wire wrap boards as well as printed circuit boards. While the present specification is written in terms of microelectronic applications, it should also be obvious to those skilled in the art that the principles of the novel socket disclosed herein apply to other types of electrical sockets as well.
Many mechanical arrangements and variations of the socket and the associated electrical contact assembly may be devised for the purpose of providing two spaced apart contact pins or points as terminals for printed circuit leads. Accordingly, the invention as described above is intended to be fully defined by the following claims.
What is claimed is:
1. An integrated circuit electrical connector socket for mounting an integrated circuit package on a printed circuit board, said integrated circuit package comprising an integrated circuit, a flat rectangular housing for said circuit, and a plurality of electrical integrated circuit leads extending outwardly in a row along each of the longitudinal edges of said housing, said socket comprising in combination:
a. a flat rectangular base having a plurality of socket holes arranged in two rows along the longitudinal axis of said base, each of said socket holes for receiving one of said integrated circuit electrical leads;
b. a plurality of electrical contact members, one of each positioned within each of said socket holes for providing electrical contact with said integrated circuit electrical leads;
. a plurality of electrical contact pins afixed to said base, one of each associated with one of each of said socket holes, each positioned opposite said associated socket hole and adjacent to the longitudinal edge of said base farthest from said socket hole for providing electrical contact with said printed circuit board; and
d. a plurality of electrical leads afixed to said base,
each for connecting one of said associated contact members and said contact pins.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 including a second electrical contact pin connected to each of said contact members positioned directly adjacent to each of said socket holes.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said socket holes extend through said base whereby said integrated electrical circuit leads proceed downward through said socket holes to form a second electrical contact pin.

Master rifle maker had Wichita in his roots
In the 1960s, most Kansas boys worshiped guys such Willie Mays. I idolized Roy Weatherby.
Arguably the most innovate firearms designer of the last half of the 20th century, Weatherby's namesake rifles were as gorgeous as they were functional. His cartridges were faster and more powerful than standard fare.
Hunting magazines held photos of Weatherby in exotic places, using revolutionary firearms to take charging Cape buffalo. Hollywood heavies on "The American Sportsman" used his products often.
The first time I handled a Weatherby rifle is as vivid in my mind as my first slow dance.
My appreciation for the man and his makings were rekindled when I learned Weatherby was a native Kansan, with ties to Wichita.
Though his rifles and cartridges have long been equated with wealth and prestige, Weatherby's early years were far different.
In the book, "Weatherby. The Man. The Gun. The Legend," he told authors Grits and Tom Gresham he was born in the Flint Hills near White City in 1910.
"Dad was a tenant farmer," he said. "All 10 of us, parents, six sisters and a brother kept moving from farm to farm."
Weatherby said his family was in perpetual debt. Winter traplines and summers spent killing gophers and jackrabbits for bounty helped raise a little cash.
When he was 13, Weatherby's family began a series of moves across Kansas, living "like squatters in the poorest part of town." In Wichita, they lived in the single room of an abandoned grocery store. After several years of migrant travel across the eastern United States, Weatherby returned to take courses at the University of Wichita.
Dean Rumbaugh, Weatherby's longtime friend and company employee for 52 years, said it's not known if Weatherby graduated from college. He did know that while in Wichita, Weatherby started attending Sunday school for the express purpose of finding a girlfriend. He found one in a local college student named Camilla Jackman and they were married.
They eventually headed to California, where Weatherby had a successful, but not lengthy, career in insurance. It was out west that he rekindled his love of hunting, and began a now-common trend toward bigger cartridges and faster bullets.
Much of his work was done in his garage, including early orders when his works began getting publicity in articles he and others wrote for magazines. In 1945, he went full-time into a gun manufacturing business in the back of a small sporting goods store. Like a lot of businesses, the early years had many challenges. In 1947, his wife sold a 160-acre Kansas farm she'd inherited for $21,000 to save the fledgling firearms company.
Weatherby's rifles, and eventually shotguns, eventually became the pick of some of the world's most famous sportsmen, from John Wayne and Roy Rogers to the Shah of Iran and U.S. presidents.
One of America's most prominent outdoorsmen of the time was also one of Weatherby's earliest customers, contacting him for a rifle barely a year after the company began. They eventually became a widely-traveled hunting partners and friends.
"He and Sheldon Coleman had a good friendship," Rumbaugh said of Weatherby. "It was a long relationship."
And we all know you don't get much more Kansas, or Wichita, than the man who piloted the Coleman Co. for so many decades.
And now, more than ever, I hope to someday own a Weatherby rifle.
