A system and method for automatically suspending power from an IEEE 802.3af Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) switch to one or more Powered Devices (PDs) in accordance with user defined power allocation policies is disclosed. The PSE switch includes a classifier to associate each switch port with a power allocation policy and assign the applicable power priority level. The IEEE 802.3af PSE switch also includes a power manager to selectively allocate power between the PDs in accordance with those policies during a power outage, for example. If the switch is unable to provide power to each of the PDs, power to ports associated with a relatively low power priority is suspended before suspending power to higher priority ports. The policies may be automatically distributed to and implemented by multiple devices throughout a network without an administrator manually configuring the priorities base on knowledge of the specific types of end nodes coupled to the various ports or their priorities.
1. A power sourcing equipment (PSE) configured for being operatively coupled to a plurality of powered devices (PDs), the PSE comprising:
a plurality of power over ethernet (PoE) ports, wherein each of the ports is configured for receiving one or more protocol data units (PDUs);
a classifier configured for associating at least one of a plurality of power allocation policies with each port of the plurality of ports based on the one or more PDUs received on the respective ports and for assigning a respective power priority level derived from the associated at least one power allocation policy thereto; and
a power manager configured for selectively allocating power to each of the plurality of ports in accordance with the associated at least one power allocation policy, wherein selectively allocating power to each of the plurality of ports in accordance with the associated at least one power allocation policy includes receiving the respective power priority level from the classifier and selectively allocating power to each of the plurality of ports at least partially dependent upon the respective power priority level, wherein selectively allocating power includes suspending power delivery, and wherein each one of said power priority levels corresponds to a respective level of importance of functionality provided through an associated one of ports such that suspending power delivery to a particular one of said ports is performed dependent upon the respective level of importance of functionality provided therethrough and independent of a particular level of power being drawn thereby.

10. The method of allocating power in
The invention relates to a data communications switch enabled to perform Power over Ethernet (PoE). In particular, the invention relates to a system for classifying inbound packets in accordance with user defined power allocation policies and selectively allocating power to the associated ports of the switch based on those classifications.
Power over Ethernet refers to a system for distributing power to Ethernet devices through standard Category 5/5e twisted-pair cables currently used to carry Ethernet data. The Ethernet device supplying the power is referred to as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and the Ethernet device receiving the power is referred to as the Powered Device (PD). In accordance with the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) standard reference 802.3af hereby incorporated by reference herein, the PSE first determines, or discovers, whether a connected device is a PoE compliant PD. If so, the PSE transmits direct current power to the PD at 48 volts with a maximum current of 350 milliamperes. As an optional extension to the discovery process, the PD may also specify the amount of power requirements from the PSE. PoE may be used to supply reliable power to low power Ethernet devices including voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephones, wireless access points (WAP), and security cameras, for example.
The IEEE standard reference 802.3af defines types of PSEs including an endspan and midspan. An endspan PSE incorporates the power sourcing functionality within a network switch and the power transmitted via the data channels. That is, DC power is combined with the data signals transmitted on pin-pairs 3 and 6 and pin-pairs 1 and 2 of the Ethernet cable. A midspan PSE is a stand-alone device operatively coupled between the PD and a convention Ethernet switch, for example. The midspan PSE transmits power via unused cable pin-pairs 4 and 5 and pin-pairs 7 and 8. The PDs are generally adapted to receive power from either an endspan PSE or a midspan PSE.
When deployed in a network, a PSE switch may have a combination of PoE compliant PDs and various other non-compliant devices including desktop computers, servers, and printers, for example, which generally require more power than the PSE can provide. In normal operating conditions, the PSE can power each of the connected PDs. Where the public power grid goes down and power to the PSE switch lost, however, the power provided by the PSE to a plurality of PSs may be limited by the power supplied to the PSE switch by an uninterrupted power supply (UPS), for example. If the PSE switch cannot sustain the power requirements of all the PDs, the PSE switch may be forced to choose from among PDs those for which to continue power and those PDs to power down in accordance with a user defined configuration. Contemporary endspan PSE implementations require an operator to manually configure each port's power priority. As such, the operator need necessarily know in advance whether a port is to be coupled to a higher priority VoIP phone or a lower priority data device, for example. This configuration procedure is tedious and requires operator intervention whenever a PD is relocated and the port connection changed. There is therefore a need for a technique to automatically identify a port's power priority and conveniently change the power priority with minimal operator intervention as the devices move around in the network.
The invention features a system and method for automatically suspending power from a PDE switching device to one or more PDs in accordance with user defined power allocation policies used to classify packet flows transmitted via ports of the switching device. In the preferred embodiment, the PSE switching device is adapted to provides power to a plurality of PDs in accordance with IEEE 802.3af. The PSE switch comprises a plurality of PoE ports, a classifier, and a power manager. The classifier inspects packets communicated through the ports and associates those ports with a power allocation policy that specifies a power priority level for the PD coupled to the port. The power manager selectively allocates power to each of the plurality of ports in accordance with its associated policy. In the preferred embodiment, the power allocation policies maintained by the PSE switching device associate one or more PDU properties, which define a packet flow, with one of a plurality of power priority levels. If the switching device is unable to provide power to each of the plurality of PDs, the power manager suspends power to ports associated with a relatively low power priority before suspending power to the higher priority ports.
In the preferred embodiment, the method of allocating power from the PSE switching device to a plurality of PDs comprises the steps of: receiving one or more packets from a plurality of PoE ports; associating a power priority level with each port based on the PDUs received on those ports; and selectively allocate power to each of the ports in accordance with those power priority levels. If necessary, power to ports having a relatively low power priority level is suspended before power to ports associated with a relatively high power priority level is suspended. The system and method presented herein enable a network administrator to automatically configure the power priorities of all ports of one or more switching devices based on the actual PDs connected to those ports with minimal user intervention.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example and not limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings, and in which:

Illustrated in
The NIMs 204 preferably include one or more physical layer interfaces and media access control (MAC) interfaces adapted to exchange PDUs, e.g., Ethernet frames, via network communications links 130. The ingress PDUs are conveyed from the plurality of NIMs 204 to the switching controller 206 by means of one or more ingress data buses 205A. Similarly, the egress PDUs are transmitted from the switching controller 206 to the plurality of NIMs 204 via one or more egress data buses 205B. The NIMs 204 are also adapted to transmit power 266 received from a power control module 250 to connected PDs in accordance with IEEE 802.3af.
The management module 220 generally comprises a policy manager 224 for retaining and implementing traffic policies dictating where and how ingress PDUs are to be processed and forwarded. The policies implemented by the policy manager 224 are preferably based in part on Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) reference model Layer 2-Layer 7 PDU properties derived from source learning operations, route information received from other routing devices, and filtering rules uploaded by the network administrator via a configuration manager 222 using, for example, simple network management protocol (SNMP) messages 226. The traffic policies derived from source learning, other network nodes, and the administrator are made available to the routing engine 230 and collectively represented by the forwarding or look-up table 254.
In addition to the traffic policies, the policy manager 224 also retains PoE power allocation polices specifying classes of PDs and the power priority level associated with each of those classes. As described in more detail below, the classes are generally defined in terms of PDU properties including packet protocol and addressing information, for example. The associated power priority is a hierarchical ranking determining the preference with which the associated port is allocated power in a power crises. Each of the plurality of ports 202 may qualifying under one or more of these classes based on the properties of the PDUs received on, and in some cases transmitted to, the port. The management module 220 uploads the PoE power allocation polices to the high speed look-up table 254 where they are made available to the switching controller 206 during ingress packet classification operations.
In some embodiments, the PoE power allocation polices are simultaneously distributed to a plurality CBP switches from the administrator 108 in the form of one or more scripts, e.g., Perl scripts. The Perl scripts with the policies are forwarded to one or more routers throughout the network 102 which then distribute the Perl scripts to those CBP switches who identify any of the routers as its default router. Upon receipt of the Perl script, the CBP switches automatically extract the PoE power allocation polices and update their respective policy managers 224.
The switch 100 preferably comprises at least one switching controller 206 capable of, but not limited to, Layer 2 (Data Link) and Layer 3 (Network) switching operations as defined in the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) reference model. The set of possible Layer 2 protocols for operably coupling the external ports 202 to a wired and/or wireless communications link include the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 and IEEE 802.11 standards, while the set of possible Layer 3 protocols includes Internet Protocol (IP) version 4 defined in Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comment (RFC) 791 and IP version 6 defined in IETF RFC 1883.
The switching controller 206 preferably comprises a routing engine 230 and a queue manager 240. The routing engine 230 comprises a classifier 232 that receives ingress PDUs from the data bus 205A, inspects one or more fields of the PDUs, classifies the PDUs into one of a plurality of flows using a content addressable memory 233, and retrieves forwarding information from the forwarding table 254 retained in high-speed memory. The forwarding information retrieved from the forwarding table 254 preferably includes, but is not limited to, a flow identifier used to specify those forwarding operations necessary to prepare the particular PDU for egress, for example. In accordance with the present invention, the classifier 232 is also adapted to associated one or more of the ports 202 with at least one of the PoE power allocation polices and assign the applicable power priority to the port from which the PDU was received. The switching controller 206 downloads the power priority level assignments to the power controller module 250.
The forwarding processor 234 receives the ingress PDUs with the associated forwarding information and executes one or more forwarding operations prior to transmission to the appropriate egress port or ports. The forwarding operations preferably include but are not limited to header transformation for re-encapsulating data, VLAN tag pushing for appending one or more VLAN tags to a PDU, VLAN tag popping for removing one or more VLAN tags from a PDU, quality of service (QoS) for reserving network resources, billing and accounting for monitoring customer traffic, Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) management, authentication for selectively filtering PDUs, access control, higher-layer learning including Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) control, port mirroring for reproducing and redirecting PDUs for traffic analysis, source learning, class of service (CoS) for determining the relative priority with which PDUs are allocated switch resources, and color marking used for policing and traffic shaping, for example.
After the forwarding processor 234, the PDUs are passed to and stored in the queue manager 240 until bandwidth is available to transmit the PDUs to the appropriate egress port. In particular, the egress PDUs are buffered in one or more of a plurality of priority queues in the buffer 242 until they are transmitted by the scheduler 244 to the external port 202 via the output data bus 205B.
The power control module 250 includes a power supply 251 and a power manager 252. The power supply 251 includes the electrical circuitry to convert the 120 volt AC power via the UPS 106 to 48 volt DC power provided to the PDs. The power manager 252 selectively distributes the DC power from the power supply 251 to the one or more PDs among clients 120-123 via the plurality of power conductors 266 and NIMs 204. The CBP switching device 100—being an endspan PSE—injects the data signals on pin-pairs 3 and 6 and pin-pairs 1 and 2 of the Ethernet cables 107 with the DC power at NIMs 204. A power control module 250 capable of being adapted to some embodiments of the invention is available from PowerDsine, Inc., which has offices in Farmingdale, N.Y.
Illustrated in
The power manager 252 in the preferred embodiment is adapted to intelligently select which ports of the plurality of ports 202 that are to be allotted power—when the received UPS power is insufficient to satisfied the PDs—based on the ports' power priority level 262. The power manager 252 includes a power priority schedule 350, a power monitor 360, and a power switching module 370. The power priority schedule 350 including a list of the power priorities 262 which, as described above, are assigned by the classifier 232 by associating the PDU properties with the a power allocation policy.
The power manager 252 also receives the DC power signal from the regulator 340 which is monitored by the power monitor 360. Neglecting the power consumed by the switching device 100 itself, the power monitor 360 compares the received power level with the load drawn by the PDs. Although the received power is usually sufficient, the UPS 106 may be insufficient to power the PDs during a partial or full power outage of the power grid 104. In the absence of a power outage, the regulator 340 output is distributed to the PDs present among the one or more clients—including in the example the VoIP phone 120, the security camera 122, and the access point 123—via the power switching module 370. If, however, a power outage should occur and it necessary to suspend power to one or more PDs, the power manager 252 consults the power priority schedule 350 to determine which ports to disable and in what order. Ports are disabled by the switching module 370 based on their relative power priority.
Illustrated in
As discussed above, the power priority level of the ports 202 are determined by the classifier 232 based on power allocation policies. In particular, the power allocation policies associate one or more PDU properties—i.e., a packet flow to or from a PD—with a particular priority level. The rule may specify, for example, that all ports operably coupled to a VoIP phone are assigned a medium priority level to insure that power will be maintained during a partial power outage, while the port through which the safety manager's PDA 124 is reachable is assigned the highest priority to ensure that the safety office is accessible during both a partial outage and a full local power outage. Similarly, power allocation policies may also be designed to automatically drop a port based on one or more user defined criteria. A rule may specify, for example, that the power to a port be terminated during a power crisis if the classifier 232 observes a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request being initiated. In general, the power allocation policies may be made to depend on any number of PDU properties including source MAC address, destination MAC address, source IP address, destination IP address, protocol type including, e.g., IP and IPX, IPv4 as opposed to IPv6, virtual local area network (VLAN) tag properties including, e.g., 802.1Q tags and 802.1p priority, quality of service (QoS) designators, class of service (CoS) designators, port number, traffic levels, i.e. the number of packets transmitted in the preceding second, for example, and type of IP address, i.e., whether the packet possesses a dynamic address in accordance with the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or a fixed IP address, for example. In some embodiments, the assigned power priority level may also be made to depend on authentication status, that is, a port may be assigned a relatively low priority until after the client has been authenticated and is officially on the network.
Although the description above contains many specifications, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention but as merely providing illustrations of some of the presently preferred embodiments of this invention.
Therefore, the invention has been disclosed by way of example and not limitation, and reference should be made to the following claims to determine the scope of the present invention.

Listening to loud music or playing in a rock band without ear protection can lead to hearing loss.
By Emily Sohn, 00:00 AM January 5, 2006
Birds chirping. Waves crashing. Friends laughing. Teachers talking.
Sounds are a big part of life for people who can hear. But you probably don't spend much time thinking about what goes on inside your ears—or about how loud sounds might affect your hearing.
The roar of crashing waves is among the many natural sounds that we can experience.
A recent survey on MTV's Web site found that a mere 8 percent of young people say that hearing loss is "a very big problem." In comparison, 45 perce...

Our cat
~ The Shy One ~
We had Merlin since he was 7 weeks old. He was the shy one of the three cats. Whenever a stranger came into the house, he would hide for hours and because of the pure black fur, it was so hard to find him. We would have to wait until he felt safe enough to come out.
Merlin was a warm-hearted cat once he got to know someone and was very vocal. All we had to do was look at him and it sounded like he was talking to us. Merlin hated to be held. You could not just pick up Merlin and put him on your lap. He had to come to you. Merlin would sleep next to you and stay on your lap but on his terms.
The last couple of months before he died, I saw that he was getting thin. Since he's not the type of cat that comes up to you to be petted, it was a shock to see he was almost a skeleton. I watched him for about 10 days and noticed he was not eating like the others. Thinking he was sick of the food, I went out and got every brand and flavor of cat food to find what he likes. None appealed to him. I called the vet and in his mouth he saw a grayish smelling mass towards the back of the cat's mouth. Thinking it was cancer, he scraped at the mass and it was rotting teeth. Four teeth were extracted. Merlin's stomach was felt and the vet had a puzzled look on his face and told us to see what happens. Wait a week or so and if Merlin is not eating to bring him back for blood tests.
Merlin still didn't eat. I knew his mouth was sore so we chopped up the soft food, he started to eat it and backed off. We got Merlin on Nutri-Cal which is a high calorie supplement. Merlin maintain his weight but he was not acting right. His stomach appeared full but his face and back was all bones.
I called the vet back and Merlin was taken right in. We were prepared to take blood tests on him when the vet re-felt his stomach. Since the cat lost more body weight the vet felt a mass in the stomach area. He thought something was there 2 weeks prior but now he was able to feel more. Merlin developed a stomach tumor that was there a long time. It was massive and Merlin couldn't eat because of the tumor. It filled his stomach. The cat was starving.
We had no choice but to let our Merlin go. He just had his 13th birthday four days prior. Merlin died at 4:09 p.m. on Monday, June 20, 2011.
Rest In Peace little one. We all miss you!!
Merlin lived 13 years and 4 days
(In human yrs, he would have been 68 yrs old)

Back down the sculpture park
11 months ago
I love photographing down the local sculpture park, trying capture the interactions between the sculptures, the seasons and changing light. Here a a few from a recent visit. All with the K-5 IIs.
I had been after a decent shot of this sculpture for years. When the light is too harsh it just looks like a bundle of dark sticks, but the overcast sky and fresh green foliage complemented the piece nicely.
I thought this guy was just weird! Nice bokeh from the 70 at f2.8 though.
I liked the way the light brought out the patina of the sculpture.

New Bedford Mayor to Bring His Council to Confront New England Fisheries Council
NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Jan. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — New Bedford Mayor Scott Lang is bringing his Oceans and Fisheries Council to this week's meeting of the New England Fisheries Management Council. New Bedford is the Nation's top fishing port. The Mayor aims to focus the attention of Management Council members on the technical details of Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick's request to Commerce Secretary Gary Locke for an emergency increase in groundfish allocation levels, and for economic aid. The Governor's report had demonstrated that the harsh regulations being enforced by NOAA could be loosened without harming fish stocks.
Secretary Locke refused the Governor's request earlier this month. An estimated 1200 jobs have been lost in Massachusetts as a result of these regulations. Tomorrow, President Obama will make jobs the focus of his State of the Union address.
The meeting, which will be held at the same hotel as the New England Council meeting, will showcase additional work that has been done in analyzing the Federal Government's raw data since Mayor Lang held a widely-attended Fisheries Summit in New Bedford last January. The Mayor's Council is chaired by Brian Rothschild, Dean Emeritus of the UMass School for Marine Science and Technology.
At the last meeting of Mayor Lang's Council, Steve Cadrin, a scientist from the UMass School for Marine Science and Dan Georgianna, the economics department chair from UMass Dartmouth gave presentations pointing out errors and flaws they found in the response to the Governor's request from Secretary Locke, and also in an additional letter sent to the Governor by NOAA Fisheries Assistant Administrator Eric Schwaab.
Congressman Barney Frank apologized for what he described as the deceptive actions of the Obama Administration, and speaking of the state's efforts on behalf of fishermen, Massachusetts Secretary of Energy and Environment Rick Sullivan said, "Some fights are worth fighting."
The presentations and speeches from Mayor Lang's January 13 meeting can be viewed here:
"The Council needs to include input from industry, and they need to consider scientific and economic data from places other than NOAA," said Mayor Lang. We believe the School for Marine Science and Technology at UMass Dartmouth has a track record for producing better scientific and economic analyses than NOAA Fisheries, and we are bringing that data to the Council."
Members of the New England Fisheries Management Council have been invited to the Mayor's Council meeting, and Mayor Lang is hopeful that they will attend.
"Late last year, I asked the Commerce Department Inspector General to keep an eye on rule making," said Mayor Lang. "I did that because for too long, self-interest, environmental extremism, and undue influence from special interests have shaped Council decisions that are harming fishermen in Massachusetts' largest ports."
Transportation will be available from New Bedford. A bus will depart from New Bedford Harbor Development Commission (the Wharfinger Building, 52 Fishermen's Wharf) at 3:00pm on Tuesday.
This meeting is open to the public and to the media.
When: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 6:00pm Where: Sheraton Harborside Hotel 250 Market Street Portsmouth, NH

Trang Travel guide
Trang : Michelin's recommendations
Trang has the advantage of being situated on the road to the Hat Chao Mai marine park and its numerous islands and islets (46 in total), which are relatively unspoilt and are home to a number of pretty beaches. The town itself, an established commercial and industrial centre, now prospers mainly as a result of its rubber industry and has a large Chinese community. Trang's numerous and lively ko-pii (cafés) are a great place to observe local life.

Saudis Acting 'Lapdog Role' For US In 9/11: Former CIA Contractor
From the article:
"We all know that was a massive false flag operation directly benefiting and involving [Israel's] Mossad," Kelley told Press TV on Sunday.
"We also know that ISIL is a fabrication, it is a child of the US and Mossad."
– Saudis acting 'lapdog role' for US in 9/11: Former CIA contractor (PressTV, 14, 2014):
Former CIA contractor Steven Kelley says the claim that ISIL came to power by the failure of the US to investigate Saudi Arabia for the 9/11 attacks is "a massive case of denial" and the kingdom is acting the "lapdog role" for Washington. Continue reading »

HEIDENHAIN Unveils New ACANTO Absolute Length Gauges at IMTS
SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Sept. 7 /PRNewswire/ — At this year's IMTS trade show, HEIDENHAIN will present new absolute length gauges of the ACANTO Series in direct competition to LVDTs. These new gauges are characterized by absolute position value formation and are ideal for use in production-related metrology, at multipoint inspection apparatuses and in automated inspection equipment. And because the ACANTO gauges host an absolute optical encoder, they do not need re-referencing and, unlike LVDTs, will not drift.
The ACANTO absolute length gauges are based on the optical scanning of absolute graduations, which permits high accuracy at high resolution and linearity over the entire measuring length. The technology behind the scanning in the ACANTO is similar to the optical scanning in absolute rotary encoders, which have proven themselves for years.
The EnDat 2.2 interface, which is well known in the industry for absolute HEIDENHAIN encoders, offers a convenient status request function and diagnostic capabilities, instant commissioning, and permits high clock frequency. One self-diagnostic feature to note enables the gauge to output a warning signal well before the internal LED used in the optics would fail due to age. And during operation, valuation numbers permit diagnostics on the quality of the optical scanning. In addition, OEM-specific information can be saved in the length gauge's memory.
ACANTO absolute length gauges are available for measuring lengths of 12 mm and 30 mm and provide IP 64 protection for use in manufacturing environments. The innovative sleeve bearing technology enables the length gauge to operate with low wear and friction.
HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION is the North American subsidiary of DR. JOHANNES HEIDENHAIN GmbH, a leading international manufacturer of precision measurement and control equipment. Our product line includes linear scales, rotary and angular encoders, digital readouts, digital length gages, CNC controls and machine inspection equipment.

I am sure you can pay less than what Tim is quoting, but I know from personal experience that he is providing tremendous value for the dollar. I am planning on doing the SCORE series again when I turn 50 in a few years. I will certainly be using Tim to put the effort together if he'll have me. If you're serious about putting something together, I recommend you call him and talk on the phone. I think you'll agree that he's a straight shooter with allot to offer a prospective Baja team. I'd be glad to talk on the phone or via PM to give more personalized detail.
Thanks Wardo - I re-read Jim's post. It looks like $8k covers a pre-run bike too. Add in the $2k or so per person to get there,lodge and entry fee. Not so bad for a one-time shot. I'll call if the notion gets any legs. -P

(32 stars)
I upgraded because the free version said to upgrade to get the humidor option than it wasn't there. Feel like I got screwed. Uninstalled
(32 stars)
Not a bad app for what it does. A little upset that in the free version it says to upgrade to full for the "my humidor" tool and that hadn't been added yet,. Once it is will probably increase star rating.
(32 stars)
This app is just what I need. To store information regarding cigars I've smoked and if I liked them.
(32 stars)
Where is the humidor function? Why is there no auto fill options? Why can't I rate the specifics or a cigar like a normal rating system? Draw, taste, consistency, burn and the other standard factors?

Last week a new business officially opened in Pembroke. Carla's Furniture Gallery & Gifts held a ribbon-cutting and grand opening October 14 with a crowd present to take a look at the new store.
Sometimes something sounds complicated but when tried is easier than you thought.
That is the way with quiche.
It's no more difficult than making a traditional egg custard, and I found a quiche to be tasty and delicious.
This past Monday I was in a meeting with some ladies, and one of them was telling us she had been going to meetings with a well known diet plan and had lost 35 pounds. She said she had even gotten her husband to cooperate with her.
Someone walking into the Bryan County Extension Office might be in for a bit of a shock. The office has an entirely new staff.
The days are cooler and we are looking for something warm for our dinner meals. Soup is an ideal dish to serve, especially a quick and easy one.
The one I share today is just that.
Altie Moody has lived through two world wars, seen electricity come to Bryan County, chopped cotton, cooked cornbread on a wood stove and celebrated a few birthdays. The latest, her 103rd, came Sept. 23.
Healthy cooking involves so much more than just going in the kitchen and putting a meal together.
Time constraints, cost, what your family will eat, coordination of family activities and clean-up are just some of the considerations.
This week I share a recipe for Beef and Beanpot that will appeal to the younger crowd. It is a recipe I redid using some methods to reduce fat and increase flavor.
First, I rinse and drain the beef, cutting fat and calories.
The kids have already started back to school, even though summer is not quite over. A good ending to the season might be fresh peaches. They are good to just eat peeled and sliced, in milk, in a light trifle or in cobblers.
Today we share a couple of recipes with the blueberry, a berry whose harvest season is in full swing.
I hope you know someone with bushes so you can take the family blueberry picking.

The following is a list of Frequently Asked Questions and answers.
This Planning process is being co-ordinated under the title Building a Strong Foundation (BASF) to ensure that sustainable thinking prevails in decisions pertaining to the City's future. The BASF process has developed 9 strategic directions that will be used to guide growth related decisions. As part of this integrated planning process, three infrastructure master plans have been initiated that will develop servicing strategies to accommodate growth for the next 30 years. Growth Scenarios will be developed and assessed with respect to impact on transportation, stormwater and water/wastewater servicing. The diagram below shows the inter-raltationship between the GRIDS and Master Plan processes.
Each Master Plan will follow a 3-staged sutdy process. Stage 1 will involve the development of a "baseline" study to inventory the existing systems, including the identification of opportunities & constraints. Stage 2 will involve the development of principles or policies to guide development of the master plan. Stage 3 will include the development of 3 master plans for water/wastewater, storm water and transportation servicing to address the servicing needs for future growth.
Each Master Plans will:
Develop a recommended implementation program for the preferred alternatives in the master plan, including associated funding implications and strategy.
The following diagram illustrates the study process.
The City is undertaking a Water and Wastewater Master Plan that will form the servicing strategy for the design and operation of the City's lake based water/wastewater systems to the year 2035. City staff will use the master plan to guide and support:
The objectives of the Integrated Water/Wastewater Master Plan are to:
The objectives of the Transportation Master Plan are to:
The City is undertaking a City-wide master planning study utilizing the Class Environmental Assessment process to develop a master plan that will provide strategies for servicing and develop management guidance for the City's Stormwater systems for the next 30 years. City staff will use the master plan to guide and support:
The Master Plans will set out long term servicing strategies for the City, for the next 25 to 30 year period.
Once complete, the Master Plans will be reviewed periodically (e.g. every 5 years), inclduing a reivew of the planning and design process undertaken and the environmental settings to ensure that the projects proposed and mitigation measures are still valid given the current planning context.
The City-wide Infrastructure Master Plans study process will run concurrently with, and will be integrated with, the overall GRIDS study process. The following is a summary of expected timelines for completion:
