Originally written on The Scores Report | Last updated 2/4/13
In one of the more entertaining games in Super Bowl history, the Ravens held on to beat the 49ers, 34-31. Here are some quick-hit observations from Baltimore's upset. + There's no question that Jimmy Smith held Michael Crabtree in the end zone on that fourth-down play. We've all seen cornerbacks flagged for less and if there's a penalty on the play, then throw the flag, period. (That statement is in reference to those suggesting that the refs were right by "letting the players play.") But a game is never decided by one play. Jim Harbaugh and Vic Fangio's defense gave up 34 points after surrendering the second-fewest points during the regular season, and the Niners saved one of their worst performances for the biggest game of the year. They have every reason to be upset with the non-call on Smith, but they were also in control of what happened for 58 minutes prior to that play and they simply didn't do enough to win the game. + The power outage was a disaster for the NFL.

La Gloria Cubana Wavell
5 x 50 - Natural - Box of 25
Special Offer
Special Offer
The best selling La Gloria Cubana Wavell is a savory, Robusto size cigar masterfully created by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo - one of the best! Rich tasting Dominican & Nicaraguan fillers and even-burning Ecuadorian wrappers offer a smooth, flavorful and affordable medium-bodied smoke!
This may be the most underrated cigar on the market. The Wavell provides a bold flavor, and a surprisingly long smoke. I always keep a supply of Wavells in my humidor.
Ordered a 5 pack and smoked one straight off the truck. I like how mild it is but it also was slight in taste. Quite possibly i m thinking stow them in the humidor before i smoke the next one.
Wow, bold and rich taste. The burn is great. Good grey/white ask. Good draw. This is an awesome cigar.

Simplicam offers home security alternative to Dropcam
A new system called Simplicam by Arcsoft promises to be a strong Dropcam competitor thanks to cheaper cloud storage subscriptions and facial recognition alerts. Simplicam has the same simple plug-and-play set-up and mobile app for movement alerts and live monitoring. Facial recognition just lets you know that there's someone in the house, not who they are, but in most cases that's enough.
If you snag the $199 version of Simplicam (compatible with both Android and iPhone), it includes a year of 1-day subscription service of the cloud storage service, Closeli, so you can go over footage from the last 24 hours. You can also subscribe to a $49 annual plan instead. By contrast, Dropcam charges you $99 a year, though you get a full week's worth of playback. In both cases, you can skip the playback function and just tune into the live feed with the camera alone.
As it stands, Simplicam is clearly the more attractive offer for those who only need a day's worth of footage to go over, even if the the promotion is only for a year's worth of service. That sounds like a healthy demographic, especially since many aren't entirely sold on recurring fees for this sort of service. One can only hope that Dropcam offers a similar bundled cloud service with their hardware in order to compete.
Anyone interested in giving Simplicam a shot can order one now. How many of you guys have a Dropcam? Anyone looking for an equally-functional alternative?

Use any measurement you like, Daughtry has almost single-handedly given the hard rock genre back its heart. With signature ache and poise, the North Carolina native blends each of his hard-won attributes into a rousing mosaic for the ages. The DAUGHTRY album is also forging unprecedented sales and chart breakthroughs - affirming there is still gold to be mined with a rugged voice and passionate songwriting instincts.
Chris always understood the secret of his connection with his fans was widening the circle surrounding his music no matter what medium of transfer. Whether he was interpreting other artists' material or his own, his razor-sharp instincts told him the right band could take such a bond to even greater heights. Chris knew he had to commit to an intense audition process right from the start, determined to achieve that crucial bond between members. He zeroed in on the interpersonal chemistry and musical compatibility of the guys who would eventually eat, sleep and breathe DAUGHTRY 24/7. Bassist Josh Paul from LA, drummer Joey Barnes from North Carolina, guitarist Brian Craddock from Virginia, and guitarist Josh Steely from San Diego all complement and calibrate the front man, embodying the kind of seasoned give-and-take not usually associated with a new band.
The DAUGHTRY album is forging unprecedented sales and chart breakthroughs. In just a few months of release, the celebrated disc has leaped more milestones faster and further than any rock debut in recent memory. Anointed as the quickest selling rock debut in Soundscan history, DAUGHTRY became the #1 top selling album in the country not once, but twice, after debuting at #2 in November, 2006, moving upwards of 300,000 copies in the first week alone.
Daughtry's double-platinum debut has hovered in the Top 5 of the Billboard Top 200 Albums since its release, the first album since the 2006 phenomenon High School Musical soundtrack to log more than 9 weeks among the Top 3 albums, and the first rock band to achieve such a streak in the first 15 weeks of release since Creed in 2002. Daughtry is also the first rock band release in nearly 20 years - since Bon Jovi's 1988 classic New Jersey - to hit the top spot after debuting below #1.
Furthermore, Daughtry has seamlessly engrained itself in the digital domain, pulling in over one million page views per week to their artist site www.daughtryoffical.com, with their album remaining a Top 10 staple on iTunes since its release. The debut single "Its Not Over," has conquered every digital, mobile, radio and video platform imaginable, parking at or near the top of every major music industry metric including #1s on the Adult Top 40 chart, on the Hot AC chart, and the Billboard Top Singles chart. The video reigned at the top of VH1's enormously popular Top 20 Countdown show for two months running, as well as garnering most played status on MTV.
Soundstage welcomes three-time American Music Award winner Daughtry to its stage at the WTTW Grainger Studio in Chicago. Formed by American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry in 2006, this band is a recipe for success. Daughtry, their self-titled release, was listed as the fastest-selling rock debut in Soundscan history. Truly revitalizing the rock genre, Daughtry's triple-platinum album features Chris' rugged voice and the band's heavy, polished sound. On this episode of Soundstage, Daughtry performs fan favorites with passionate intensity, including rock gems "It's Not Over" and "What I Want," power ballads "Feels Like Tonight" and "Home" and many more you won't want to miss.

Sweet Carrot Pudding
|1 Pound, peeled and grated
|3 Cup (48 tbs)
|Heavy cream
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Clarified butter
|8 Tablespoon
|Dark brown sugar
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs) (Loosely Packed)
|Cardamom seeds/1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Dark raisins
|1 Tablespoon
|Slivered blanched almonds
|2 Tablespoon, toasted
|Unsalted pistachios
|2 Tablespoon, toasted
|Roasted cashew nuts
|2 Tablespoon, chopped
|Heavy cream
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
Place grated carrots, milk, and 1 cup heavy cream in a deep saucepan and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat slightly, and very gently boil (with bubbles just breaking the surface) the carrots, stirring frequently, for 1 hour, until milk and cream are substantially reduced.
The mixture will equal approximately 4 cups at this point.
Stir in the clarified butter, raise the heat slightly, and cook the pudding 8 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the brown sugar and cardamom, cooking and stirring until the pudding is sticky and masses together easily, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove pan from heat.
Combine the raisins, almonds, pistachios, and cashews.
Stir half of them into the Carrot Halwa.
Mound the sweet on a platter, or serve in small portions in individual bowls.

Team went 4-6 during last stretch, now 31-29. 14-14 at home, 17-15 on the road. 257 runs scored and 252 allowed. Votto, Volquez, EE all still out. Reds pitched superbly during this stretch but the offense, which had been improving, simply collapsed.
Offense -- Reds scored 30 runs over the last ten games, but nine were in one outing vs. Cards. So team scored 21 over 9 games, barely over 2 per game. OPS had been up to .742, ninth in league, last time. Now, it's .713 and fourteenth in the NL. League average OPS is .736. Only SD and SF with worse OPS numbers. Against lefty pitching, Reds OPS is .708 - and Reds lineup is mostly right handed.
Reds team OBP is .320 tied for 14-15th in league with SD. SLG had been above league average at .412 last time, now has fallen to .395, below league average of .404. BA is .247 down from .256.
Some OPS numbers for starting players -- Gonazalez .581, Taveras .583, Hernandez .670. Some other starting player stats -- Hairston OBP is .302. Bruce OBP is .300, BA is .211. Rosales, a fill in but now with 128 PA, OPS of .611.
Gomes with OPS of .940 and Hanigan with .397 OBP and .310 BA deserve high praise for not being swept up in the tide of these offensive woes. Phillips and Nix with OPSs around .850.
Pitching -- Team ERA had slipped back over 4.00 previously, but came on strong in most recent ten. Team ERA is third best in NL at 3.85, trailing only LA and SF who play in more pitcher friendly stadiums. Overall ERA improvement resulted from starters' ERA improvement from 4.38 to 4.07, now sixth best in league. Bullpen ERA essentially unchanged, now 3.36 from previous 3.40. BAA for Reds pitching fourth best in league at .246. Reds lead the NL in save percentage with 80 percent.
Reds have five relievers with ERAs of 2.50 or less, Massett, Rhodes, Cordero, Herrera, Weathers. Cueto at 6-3 with 2.33 is staff ace. Harang ERA at 3.74 after two good outings. Arroyo, Owings and (fill in) Maloney all at 5.00 or better.
Fielding -- Reds have best DER in the National League. Team did make 8 errors in the last stretch, now with 43 and a .981 FPCT, slightly worse than last time.
Need to generate some offense.

Walker: Snips and snails, but no puppy dog tails
We got 'em.
It seems like this year everything that can crawl, walk, fly or slither has hatched. It's my personal belief that because of the drought last year, lots of critters that couldn't hatch have come out because of the relatively good rain we've had this year.
Different people react differently to bugs. Some bother me and some don't.
Some of my co-workers get all "Ewwwww!" over crickets. Crickets don't particularly bother me — who could dislike Jiminy? Like everybody else, I think ladybugs are adorable. Roly-polies can be fun (unless you think too hard about where they've probably been). Ants are admirable for their industriousness. Butterflies are ethereal. Of course, all of the above comes with the caveat that they stay in their place, which is not my house.
The currently most prolific bug — the bug de jour, so to speak — is the black beetle.
I don't like beetles. It's not because they do anything particularly bad. They just spend their days walking across the floor, then for reasons unknown to me are suddenly on their backs with all six legs straight up in the air. Not a particularly rewarding life if you ask me — but I'm not a beetle.
I think the reason I don't like beetles is because they don't look like they belong here. They look alien.
On the front page of this newspaper is a photo of a young lady's hand holding one of the beetles that has infested Wichita Falls.
That hand belongs to TRN employee Ashley. And she's a better man than I. Yes, I know beetles can't hurt you, but "Ewwwww!"
I suppose cockroaches and water bugs fall loosely into the category of beetles. Nobody likes cockroaches. They are the world's most detested species.
Count me among the detesters. Among the many things I dislike about them is the noise they make when you step on them. One time in the absence of bug spray, I used about a quarter can of hair spray on one particularly big cockroach.
I don't know if hair spray kills cockroaches, but it certainly holds them in place long enough to scoop them onto a piece of paper and flush them.
Somebody told me the difference between cockroaches and water bugs was the property values of the neighborhood in which they're found. I don't know if that's true.
Spiders don't bother me all that much. I even have an acquired fondness for tarantulas. Yes, they're ugly as a creature can be and can bite if they feel threatened. But they're actually quite passive and docile. Once I worked in a place that was a popular hangout for tarantulas every summer. They just crawled up on the walls and stayed there for days. Somebody told me that was part of species' mating ritual. When I was young and single and shy, I thought maybe the sweeties would come to me if I just stood around. It never worked for me, but maybe it does for tarantulas.
Scorpions, centipedes, millipedes, wasps, yellowjackets, dirt-daubers — all are creatures that look like they don't belong here. They should go back to whatever galaxy they came from.
But if my theory is correct that this year's crop — plus LAST year's crop of all things that crawl, walk, slither and fly — are going to hatch this spring and summer, then it's a good idea to stock up on swatters, insecticides, and traps.
Wouldn't hurt to keep a can of hair spray handy, too.

Product Q & A
will these head covers fit my adams hybrids 4 5 6 and do they come eith numbers ??
Wednesday, September 05, 2012 08:24 AM
Answer by a Discount Golf World ExpertThese headcovers do not have numbers. You might wish to look at theStealth Headcovers, which do have numbers.
Wednesday, September 05, 2012 08:54 AM
will these head covers fit my slightly oversized LYNX HX1 hybrids #3-4-5? And do they come with separate attachable numbers, 3-4 and 5?
Friday, July 27, 2012 03:19 PM
Answer by a Discount Golf World ExpertThis cover will fit your hybrids. The tag is labeled only with an "H" and no numbers, a regrettable oversight by the manufacturer. You might be interested in the Stealth Covers
Friday, July 27, 2012 05:02 PM
I have three hybrids.....3, 4, and 5. How would I tell the difference if I had the covers on the clubs? Do you have numbers instead of "H"??
Tuesday, June 28, 2011 03:07 PM
Answer by a Discount Golf World ExpertYes, for golfers like yourself with multiple hybrids, Proactive Sports offers a club headcover with interchangeable tags (3h-4h-Xh) called the Hybrid Ironwood Headcover by Stealth. This will help you easily identify the difference between your 3 hybrids.

TuneECU Injection Pulse reading - Screenshot
I'm trying to diagnose some rough running on my '07 990 adv. At idle the exhaust at the left pipe seems to be sputtering and weak. I already set the TPS to .57-.58v hot and sync'd the TBs as best as possible by matching the TuneECU map values at idle.
I was checking with tuneecu and I see the following:
Given that there seems to be a difference in how the two cylinders are running, based on the exhaust feel and sound, the two different values for 'Injection pulse' seem to jump out. ~2.6 on the left value and 3.1 on the right value. I also noticed when I first started the bike the O2 reading on the left read consistently lower than that on the right.
Does anyone know if this is normal? Anything I can check/test?
First, you should post this on the TuneECU thread.
Have you flashed a new map when this happened? My first map push from TuneECU was a bad one and it would run on one cylinder. Just pushing the map again fixed it and it ran fine.
It appears your 02s are not disabled,so I would look for an air leak on the cylinder with the higher PW reading.
The 02 sensor is seeing more air and ramping up the pulse width in an attempt to correct.
+ what Zuber posted..
Ah good feedback. Sounds like a couple of tests might help:
-Load the open exhaust map w/ o2 disabled and see if the cylinder still feels weaker
-Re-load the stock map and see if the issue is still there
-See if there are any exhaust leaks at the header pipes (I did remove and remount those recently)
Anything else I should check?
While running take a long pair of needlenose pliers and squeeze off all the vacuum lines to the affected cyl while watching the pulse width.Also check the SAS for leaks at that cyl.
Just had a few min to do some checks...
I loaded up the akrapovic map and found that the sputtering from the left pipe stopped, however the exhaust pulse still felt stronger (just subjectively on my hand) from the right pipe. I'd have sworn they always felt about the same in the past but I don't remember really thinking about it before, so I don't know if this difference is normal or not. I really wish I knew if the difference is normal... (the bike does have leo vince pipes w/ an h pipe, so who knows). The injector pulse reading in TuneECU was still longer for cyl 2 than for cyl 1 with this map. With this map, cyl 1 MAP read about 20hPa lower than cylinder 2 at idle, but they're matched with the stock map - not sure if this would mean anything.
I used in IR thermometer and the front cylinder header is about 20degrees warmer than the rear but they're pretty close with either map.
I then re-loaded the stock map and the sputtering in the left exhaust pipe returned.
I noticed in TuneECU that my voltage drops from about 13.1V to 12.5 when the fans come on. I saw it dip as low as 11.8 at one point. As the bike runs the O2 voltage would typically be in the .75-.8V range for both cyl but would drop to virtually 0 occasionally. I was looking to see if it correlated with the voltage drop when the fans came on but couldn't really tell if it happens around the same time or not.
Next up will be to try big-t's suggestion of squeezing vacuum lines... not sure if I'll be able to access them with the airbox on or not but we'll see - definitely a good idea.
In the meantime - anyone have any ideas as to why the injector pulse would still be longer with the akrapovic no-O2 map loaded? I guess this could suggest some leak in the vacuum hoses huh? Do you think my voltage drop when the fans come on is abnormal (ie - do I need a new battery?)
How old is that battery... it looked fishy in your screen shot...
[IMG][/IMG]
This is one of my first screenshots
I have. A Signal dynamics voltage meter on my 990 and a new battery and a second fan. I notice a voltage drop to about 12.1. When the fans come on.
Hey Dusty thanks for the comparative screen shot!! That is very helpful and it does look like your O2 values are much more even. Mine are crazy because they'll just drop all of a sudden to almost 0 and then fluctuate a bit, then come back to the 0.7-0.8V range, then drop again, and the injector pulse doesn't really seem to move in lockstep with the O2 value. I really don't have any clue how to diagnose this other than fiddling with vacuum hoses at this point. I suppose I could switch the 2 O2 sensors and see if that makes a difference, but ugh I think I'd have to take the whole exhaust back off...
So were you saying you thought that the exhaust should or shouldn't feel the same at the exhaust pipe?
Dirtjack - thanks for the info on the voltage - I've got the 2nd fan also so maybe my levels are reasonably normal - at least not high on the list of possible culprits...
From memory i dont think mine felt equal from day one... different lenths of pipe, bends?
Thanks dusty - that gives some peace of mind.
I read online somewhere yesterday that narrow band o2s are kind of binary and will typically flip from low to high voltage when the af ratio becomes rich or lean. So some fluctuation is probably normal there too when running on o2s.
I tried a stethoscope and shooting some starter fluid around to look for vacuum amd exhaust leaks but nothing conclusive.
It does seem like a vacuum leak is the most likely culprit based on the symptoms
I noticed the vacuum hose that comes off of the t at the intake manifolds and runs to the pump under the dash is kinked a bit, but not leaking - I wonder if this could cause running
One way or another looks like I've gotta start taking stuff apart to get access to those hoses
How about disabling the o2 s with Tuneecu and see if that evens out the injector pulse ?
If it does I would bet on an air leak,maybe the SAS leaking air into the exhaust..at one of the cylinders..:hmmmmm or possible a dirty injector not atomizing the spray well enough for a good burn
I think your reading way too much into this. My exhausts were never the same either. Their different lengths and have a crossover. I'm reading this thread off my phone so I couldn't make out your screen shot to well. Injector pulse width should be different. Cal 1 is the rear and runs hotter do it should have more fuel. Injector pulse width is done in percentage of available time to open the injector. We are talking maybe 20 milliseconds here. If cylinder one is 2.6% and cylinder two is 3.1% we are talking about 1/2% of 20 ms. You injectors probably aren't even matched to within 3%.
I would guess air leak or the throttles are not balanced - or not close enough to get the pulsewidths very similar.
Can you get a reading while riding the bike with more airflow going through the carbs?
If you are happy there is no air leak there should be an adjustment to balance the throttles at idle (sorry 950 owner don't know the exact layout of the 990's) you could try adjusting that until the pulsewidths are the same. - also make a note of the idle is smother or not (should be smoother if you are balancing them). The correct way is to balance the air pressure at idle with pressure gauges of course...
Yeah I've come to find I think the pulse length being different is normal.
The real problem is that the bike hunts around in RPMs at idle and there is a sputtering sound like it's missing from the left tailpipe. So I was just looking for anything in tuneecu that might help point me to the cause of this issue.
I did turn off the O2s at one point and the sputtering sound does stop when I do that and the idle seems more stable but still not rock solid.
One thing I noticed is that the rpm really drops and the bike seems to struggle after it warms up and I hear the solenoid click for the SAS pump at the back of the airbox. This wouldn't impact A/F ratio though would it? I thought it is just pumping fresh air into the exhaust - so why would it cause an rpm drop and the bike to start stumbling? hmm

MINNEAPOLIS (05/02/2011) — Clothing with embedded solar cells that can charge electronics, a long-distance sensor for the Woodbury Police Department's K9 unit, and a prototype of a wheelchair that can easily switch between standing and sitting positions are just a few of the innovations undergraduate engineering students will present at this spring's University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering Spring Senior Design Show on Tuesday, May 3, 2-4:30 p.m. at the University of Minnesota Coffman Memorial Union, Great Hall, 300 Washington Ave. S.E., Minneapolis.
The event features more than 50 problem-solving innovations and cutting-edge research projects designed by seniors from the University's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Visitors will see the students work and talk with them about their design and research process.
The students are part of the Senior Design class, a four-credit, semester-long course for students in their senior year, with the main objective of providing students with a real-world, team-based design experience through which they develop an appreciation of design methodology and team dynamics, along with re?ning their oral and written communications skills. Each team of four to six students participates in solving an open-ended design problem starting from developing well-de?ned project requirements/speci?cations and concluding with a functioning prototype.
This year for the first time, students in the yearlong Senior Honors Project are also presenting their research posters as part of the show. These students carried out their projects during a two-semester capstone research and design experience.
Projects originate from both industry and faculty sponsors, often require an inter-disciplinary e?ort, and typically have multiple paths for solution and implementation entailing trade-o?s between performance, cost, and ability to be manufactured.

List of county parks up for disposal narrowed to 24
The list of Kitsap County park properties up for disposal has shrunk a bit, with about 24 properties now under consideration for sale or transfer to other organizations.
The Kitsap parks department is reviewing its roster of 79 properties to determine which ones could be considered surplus. Most of the properties under consideration are small, undeveloped lots that get little use and are considered a burden on maintenance workers who occasionally have to clean up trash. An initial surplus list of about 30 properties was compiled in June.
Recently taken off the list are three waterfront properties that the county may add to the newly-designated Kitsap Peninsula Water Trail, according to Ric Catron, the department's project coordinator. The trail includes 60 places where kayakers can launch their boats or pullout for rests. Most of the stops are at parks and road ends.
The three potential water trail parks are Waterman Point, a small parcel east of Port Orchard; Nick's Lagoon, a 35-acre property on Seabeck Bay; and Laughlin Cove, a 20-acre Hood Canal property that a state grant helped purchase in 2003.
The 118-acre Calvinwood property in South Kitsap was taken off the list because it is adjacent to Coulter Creek Heritage Park in South Kitsap. An expanded Coulter Creek park would total about 1,300 acres.
The parks department may retain Central Kitsap's Anderson Hill ball fields if a shared management agreement can be worked out with a nonprofit athletic group.
Two Kingston properties were crossed off the list when park planners discovered they had already been transferred to the Village Green Metropolitan Park District.
Most of the remaining 24 properties would either be shifted to other county departments or transferred to cities, school districts or nonprofit organizations.
Four properties could be sold. The largest is the 200-acre Place of the Bear property in Suquamish. The county hopes to sell the forested property to the Suquamish Tribe and use the money to expand North Kitsap Heritage Park.
A .10-acre property near Erlands Point in Chico, a .4-acre property in a Tracyton mobile home park and a 2.2-acre property in Southworth may also be sold. The properties are undeveloped and in residential areas. They would likely be sold to neighboring property owners through a public auction process.
The parks department plans to finalize its plan in September. Any property disposal or sale would need approval from the county commission.

Originally written on Section 303 | Last updated 7/24/12
Will today be the day that the hockey world hears something — anything — out of the Nashville Predators regarding their captain Shea Weber and the 14-year, $110 million offer sheet he signed with the Philadelphia Flyers last week?General Manager David Poile and the Preds have until tomorrow night at 11:59pm to make a decision. They can either match the offer, thereby keeping Weber wearing gold for 14 more years, or they can decline to match and receive four first round picks from the Flyers. Those picks, of course, could then be traded in order to acquire roster players.But 501 Broadway has been eerily silent. They released a statement last Thursday and then nothing. Predators fans are getting antsy and would love to hear something one way or the other.So, while you're waiting, check out the stories below. You'll find a wealth of information — and plenty of opinion — within them.*** Radio silence (Paul McCann, Hockey Buzz) Why the Predators must match the offer sheet (Kevin Allen, U...

As you know, submitting to a Microsoft Windows SharePoint form library from an InfoPath form is quite simple: just add a "submit" type of data connection to InfoPath and away you go. However, submitting to a SharePoint List is another matter. In this post, we will take a look at the steps necessary to enable this functionality.
Step 1: Create the list
1. Create a new custom list named: MyContacts2. From the Settings button choose List Settings3. Click Create Column4. Add the following columns/data types:
The next step is to create a Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML) template that contains the same XML nodes as the columns we added to our list – this will be used as a secondary data connection in the InfoPath Form Template.
Step 2: Create the CAML template
1. Launch Notepad (or any text editor)2. Copy and paste the following code to the Notepad document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Batch OnError="Continue"> <Method ID="1" Cmd="New"> <Field Name='Title'></Field> <Field Name="FirstName"></Field> <Field Name="LastName"></Field> <Field Name="Email"></Field> <Field Name="Phone"></Field> </Method></Batch>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Batch OnError="Continue"> <Method ID="1" Cmd="New"> <Field Name='Title'></Field> <Field Name="FirstName"></Field> <Field Name="LastName"></Field> <Field Name="Email"></Field> <Field Name="Phone"></Field> </Method></Batch>
3. Save this as: Add List Item Template.xml
Step 3: Create the InfoPath Form Template
1. Create a new, blank, browser-compatible form template2. Add a "Receive" type secondary data connection to the Add List Item Template.xml file created in Step #2. (Make sure the options "Include the data as a resource file in the form template" and "Automatically retrieve data when the form is opened" are enabled.)3. Add a "Receive" type secondary data connection to the "MyContacts" SharePoint List created in Step #1 and make sure the option "Automatically retrieve data when the form is opened" is enabled. NOTE: Be sure to include the "Title" field along with the custom fields we created.
Each SharePoint list is created with a unique identifier called a GUID. In order to submit items to a SharePoint list, you must know the unique GUID for that list. These next steps will enable you to identify the GUID for your "MyContacts" list.
Step 4: Identify the list GUID
1. Open a browser and navigate to the MyContacts list2. From the Settings menu choose List Settings3. In the browser's address bar you will see the URL appended with "List="
4. Copy everything after the equals sign and paste this into a text editor as we will need this value later on.
NOTE: We will need the list GUID to be formatted as "{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}". If your GUID appears as above with the hyphens and braces "escaped" (i.e. %7B for the braces and %2D for the hyphens) then you will need to replace the escaped characters with the braces and hyphens so when we use this GUID later, it will appear as: {1E76517B-2C36-4473-A420-A737D98589BC}
Step 5: Add controls to the InfoPath Form Template
1. Open the Data Source Task Pane2. From the Data Source dropdown box choose the "MyContacts" connection
3. Right-click on "MyContacts" and choose Repeating Table – this will add a repeating table bound to that connection to your View4. From the Data Source dropdown box choose Main5. Add a text box to the "myFields" node named: ListName and set the Default Value property to the GUID value of your list – we will use this node to specify the list when we perform the Submit operation
To update the SharePoint list we will be using the "UpdateListItems" method of the SharePoint "lists.asmx" web service. This web method requires a couple of parameters (the list name and what gets updated) – now that we have added the "ListName" node which contains the GUID and we have the Add List Item Template XML data connection which describes our data structure we have all the necessary information to add the "UpdateListItems" web method!
Step 6: Add the "lists.asmx" web service
1. Add a new "Submit" type of web service data connection to the "lists.asmx" web service – this is typically located at: http://servername/_vti_bin/lists.asmx2. Select the "UpdateListItems" operation3. Double-click the "listname" parameter and assign the "my:ListName" node as the value
4. Double-click the "updates" parameter, select the "Add list Item Parameter" data source, select "Batch" and click OK5. For the "Include" option select "XML subtree, including selected element"
6. Complete the Data Connection Wizard
Now that we have all the connections that are required, we now need to add the "submit" functionality to the form template.
Step 7: Add Submit functionality
1. Display the Data Source Task Pane2. From the Data Source dropdown box choose the Add List Item Template data connection3. Drill down through the data source, right-click on the Field node and choose Repeating Table
We need to change the text box control in the "Name" column to Read-only – if these values were to be changed it would affect the CAML and the submit would fail.• Double-click on the text box in the Name column of the Repeating Table• Select the Display tab• Enable the Read-only property and click OK• Add a new Button control to the View• Double-click the button to display the Properties• Click the Submit Options button• Enable the option "Allow users to submit this form"• Enable the option "Perform custom action using Rules" and click the Rules button• Click the Add button• Click the Add Action button• From the Action dropdown box choose "Submit using a data connection", select the "Web Service Submit" data connection and click OK• Click the Add Action button• From the Action dropdown box choose "Query using a data connection", select the "MyContacts" data connection and click OK (this will automatically refresh the list in InfoPath so you can see the newly added record)
• Click OK until you are back to your form
NOTE: If you want to automatically clear out the submitted values, add another action to this Rule to "Set a field's value" and the only option you need to specify is the "Field" option – select the "Field" node from the "Add List Item Template" data connection and then simply leave the Value option blank.
Step 8: Test!
1. Click the Preview button to preview the form2. Fill in values for each of the fields: Title, First Name, Last Name, E-mail and Phone
3. Click the Submit button – the contact information should be submitted successfully and the "MyContacts" list automatically updated!
A special thanks to Matt Faus of InfoPathDev for for initially posting this solution!

Hi Confused and dismayed,
If you did step 1 and clicked the Next button then you will see the list of operations available to you, one of which is UpdateListItems.
I tried but i am getting error
Some rules were not applied?
Hi Zubair,
That is not anywhere near enough information for me to provide any suggestions other than...the steps in the blog work. If you are having problems, start fresh and follow the steps *exactly* as I have them. If you still run into a problem then please provide more information other than you're getting an error.
Is there any way of submitting this to a list with anything other datatypes than single line of text?
Hi Dominic,
Yes - peruse all the comments as there are numerous entries about how to do this.
Haha thanks Scott, I didn't see that there was a more comments option.
I've checked and now that I have found them all. I'm thinking there is no way of making this work for a content_type: Event, so that I can use a form to add to a Sharepoint Calendar. (even though this comes under lists)
So I have successfully submitted items to a Calendar via this method but just using the built-in column types (i.e. DateTime, Single Line of Text, Number, etc.) I've not tried adding something outside of those.
I have:

So if you are using the built-in Calendar columns, then the problem you are having is "Start Time" and "End Time" are NOT the actual underlying names for those columns - they are:
I realize this is not obvious so to see all the actual names, you can do this:
- Create a new XSN
- Add a Receive data connection to your calendar
- File the File tab, choose Publish and then click the Export Source Files button
- Export these to a local folder
- Open manifest.xsf with a text editor (i.e. Notepad - just make sure you do NOT allow Notepad to be the default application for opening this file)
- Scroll to the bottom and you will see the actual SharePoint names for all the columns
I would also suggest you test this in "steps" - have your XML file only be for the "required" columns (Title, EventDate and EndDate) - once you have this working, then add others.
Thanks Scott, that's explained everything.
Don't suppose you came across how to make it an all day event, using infopath?
If not, no worries. Will try it out.
Kind Regards,
Hey Dominic - unfortunately I have not tried that. :(
Found it.
I looked at the sharepoint form source code and found the name as fAllDayEvent - Yes/No = 1/0
So I plugged this is to my CAML:
<Field Name="fAllDayEvent">1</Field>
Thanks again for all the help.
That's great to hear!
Hi Scott ,
Thanks alot for the wonderful post , I have implemented this successfully. Here we are using InfoPath form for New form , How can have the same functionility for the Edit form in the list too? . If I customize the list using Infopath form , it ll have lot of limitations. Is this possible to extent this to edit form also?
Thanks and Regards,
Nandini Prasad
Hi Nandini,
This method is simply for taking data from an InfoPath form and adding/updating a SharePoint list. If you are using SharePoint 2010 and InfoPath 2010, then you can simply "customize" your form for a specific list using InfoPath. For example:
- Create a new custom list
- Select the Ribbon for the list
- Click the "Customize form" button on the Ribbon
This will launch InfoPath and you can customize the form, publish it back to that list and now your InfoPath form will be used for the Display, New and Edit forms.
Note there are some limitations for this:
- You cannot add code behind a form that is for a list
- The form will only submit to this one list. You may be able to add similar functionality to what this blog post describes but again, no code

I just added a new author, Kristen Middleton, to the Other Stories menu. I stumbled upon her work, a zombie story, on Amazon/Kindle and really enjoyed it. The book is part one of a five part series and you can read the first one for free.
Dehydrated Eggs and Stuff in a Jar
I've discovered a series of books themed on "Gifts in a Jar". The concept is to put an entire meal in a jar. In most cases you just add water and maybe a few other ingredients and instant meal. Well I have been saving jars for reuse and decided to try my hand at making my own stuff in a jar.
The first recipe I wanted to try was a small batch of cookies and most recipes call for an egg. Instead of needing to add an egg I thought I'd try dehydrating eggs first.
I started with 5 dozen eggs. One dozen at a time I scrambled them.
Then cooked them.
Next I put them on a tray to cool a bit while I worked on the next dozen.
I loaded them in my dehydrator and ran at 145 for 12 hours.
When finished the chunks were hard like rocks. I ran them through a food processor until they were ground into mostly powder.
At this point I had powdered eggs which measure out to about 2 teaspoons per original egg. Next up, pick a recipe. I researched a few options an finally settled on one which I then adjusted and tweaked until I was satisfied with it. I made a large bowl full which I then would be able to put into the jars.
- 6 cups of oats
- 1 1/2 cups of flour
- 3 teaspoons of salt
- 12 teaspoons of egg powder
- 9 teaspoons of baking powder
Thoroughly mix all ingredients and put about 2/3rds of a cup into a 1 cup capacity jar. Top off the jar with sugar.
Obviously you can adjust the batch size and jar sizes accordingly. Based on the 1 cup jar, when ready to make the cookies you add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2-3 tablespoons of water. Mix and press into cookie shapes. Yields about 6 large or a dozen small. Cook them in a 325 oven for about 10-12 minutes.
My batch made 10 jars plus enough left over in the bowl for one immediate batch.
299 Days – Kick Starter
If you haven't read the 299 Days books, they are well worth it. The series is 10 books long and currently books 1-8 have been released. The author, under the pen name of Glen Tate, starts the series as nearly an autobiographical telling of his path down the prepping road and then moves into the realm of fiction for the economic crash and aftermath that the country goes through. Find out more about the books at his web site, 299days.com.
He just recently has decided to pursue making the first few books into a movie. Many non preppers who have read his books have finally been able to understand the concept of prepping and have taken control of their lives. Consider how many more people can become prepared if instead of many hours of reading they can enjoy a movie that gives them the same message?
At this point the author is seeking KickStarter funding to make the first of a planned trilogy. If you want to find out more or perhaps even contribute (with numerous levels and rewards) please check out their page at: 299days KickStarter.
Note, I have no connection to the author or financial interest. I just like to see people take personal responsibility for themselves and their family and any medium which promotes this in a positive light is, in my opinion, good.
Meet Earl
Earl, an about to be released product I stumbled across looks like it has a lot of potential for anyone looking to have a useful multi purpose device in their emergency or bugout bag. It also looks to be useful for good times too for anyone involved in outdoor activities.
Taken from their web site http://www.meetearl.com :
Meet Earl, a revolutionary tablet engineered for the most extreme of outdoor situations. Built for survival, Earl works where today's smart phones and tablets cannot. Style meets efficiency with Earl's intuitive design, fusing Android 4.1 together with an energy sipping E-Ink screen and the latest in GPS, weather sensor, and radio communication technology. With Earl at your side, stay in control of your journey no matter where it takes you.
Specifications: Android 4.1 • Flexible 6″ E-ink screen (1024×768) • Sunlight viewable with lunar lantern mode • Glove friendly IR touchscreen • Waterproof shell • Kickstand • Solar charging • i.MX 6 DualLite 1GHz Cortex A9 • 1GB ram • 16GB memory + microSD • Wifi b/g/n • BT 4.0 • ANT+ • NFC • FRS/GMRS/MURS • GPS + GLONASS • Accelerometer • Gyroscope • Magnetometer • Temperature • Barometer • Humidity • Anemometer • AM/FM/SW/LW • IR blaster • 20+ hour battery • 3.5mm TRRS headphone/microphone jack • 20″ usb lanyard • 303 grams (10.8 oz) • 183mm x 121mm x 15mm (7.2″ x 4.75″ x 0.6″)
To put it in less "marketing" terms, you have a GPS with hiking (topo) maps, a weather radio, a walkie-talkie type radio, a mini weather station, a PDF viewer (load your own survival docs) and a lot more all in a small tablet sized device with a built in solar charger. It's designed for outdoors meaning mud and even immersion in shallow water won't stop it.
Since it hasn't actually shipped yet (as far as I can tell) and I don't have one I'm not suggesting anyone get one but I will say I'll be closely watching the initial reviews.
Very Compact Wilderness Survival Kit
Over at New Survival Skills they put together a nice compact wilderness survival kit. It's designed to actually attach to your belt/leg.
The benefits of a body attached system means that it won't take up space in your pack, but more importantly, it means if you somehow lose your pack this survival kit, being attached to you, is still with you.
Looking at the picture it's pretty self explanatory although if you put together something like this be sure you actually know how to use each item within the kit. Trying to learn when in an emergency situation is not being prepared.
Medical Kits
A new page in the Library section, covering DIY medical kits, has been added.
Find out about the three levels of medical kits I've put together and the uses and capabilities of each. Detailed information on the products used is included along with links to the product pages on Amazon.
You'll also find a couple of links to additional discussions of trauma care products and a link to a video on Combat Medicine and the life saving techniques being utilized in the field.
Just added Jerry's page.
Jerry D Young has written well over 100 survival fiction stories and offers them on his site along with the stories from Tired Old Man (TOM) and from Fleataxi. Visit his page under Other Authors listed above to find out more.
A few more entries…
Adrian's Undead Diary, a diary based story and We're Alive, a zombie podcast have both been added to the Other Stories menu.
We're Alive, now in it's fourth and final season is a fantastic audio drama based around a zombie uprising and a group of people trying to remain alive. The production quality is outstanding and if you like audio books you'll probably enjoy it as much as I have.
Adrian's Undead Diary started as a blog based posting of diary entries and has morphed into an epic tale with a large handful of other tales and side stories interwoven into the plot. The author has explored a lot more than just zombies. He delves into survial tactics and pitfalls along with the psycological impact of dealing with life and death situations on a daily basis. If you've got a Kindle he is releasing the story via a series of Kindle books over the next year or so with the first two already available.
Look for more info and links to both of these authors on the Other Stories menu.
Two Additional Authors Added
Susan Gregersen and Thomas Sherry have just had the content of their author pages added. Susan has written a variety of survival and preppering stories and even a few how to books. Thomas has a trilogy set in the pacific northwest based around a natural disaster that triggers the collapse of America.
I've read all three of Thomas' books and just about everything Susan has written and enjoyed them all.
Seed Packets
For those who are homesteading or even just someone with a backyard garden, saving seeds can be an important part of prepping. It's a way of insuring your ability to grow food in the future. After years of experimenting with my seed storage I've come to the conclusion that paper packets that allow the seeds to "breathe" seem to be the best option. Wanting something other than a generic envelope, I created a template which I fill in with the details and then print and cut out. A few dabs of glue and the packet is ready to be filled.
In the library menu look for the Seed Packet page or just click here.

Alvin Dupree, the highly athletic and disruptive defensive end / edge player from the Kentucky Wildcats, enters the 2015 NFL Draft after totaling 23.5 sacks and 37 TFLs (to go along with 247 tackles) during his college career (38 starts). Dupree's accomplishments have resulted in First Team All-SEC honors in 2014 as well as Second Team All-SEC recognition in 2013. He goes by the nickname, "Bud." Dupree is an impressive player, both from a physical standpoint and as an athlete. He has a nice frame that is muscular and well built. He's committed to his physical development, as evidenced by the 15 good pounds that he's added during his time at Kentucky. His 264lbs is pretty deceptive, as he doesn't appear to be maxed out; while I don't think he should add any more weight, he probably could get himself into the 270's if needed. Dupree is an impressive movement guy, displaying traits and a natural athleticism of a lighter/smaller prospect. He possesses good lateral agility and generally maintains his balance throughout the duration of the play. He has a very impressive initial burst off the snap that showcases his explosive, quick twitch ability. There's no denying that Dupree has the get off and closing speed to be a real pass rushing threat in the NFL. Against the run, Dupree is a solid defender who will need to work at his craft in order to gain a better understanding of offensive play designs. He seems to get fooled too easily by play action or misdirection plays. I don't think he lacks awareness, but it's not a strength right now. Dupree is a hustle guy who goes all-out in an effort to make a play. However, he needs to become more of a finisher. He is a high-energy player who puts himself in position to make a play, and while he does tend to slow or trip up the runner, he doesn't consistently secure the tackle. His production would be far greater if he consistently finished. Dupree is strong and does a nice job holding his ground when the play comes in his direction, and he possesses an equally impressive ability to slice through the offensive line and disrupt in the backfield. He can make plays in pursuit down the line of scrimmage when the play goes away from; his burst and overall (+) athletic ability always keep him in the action. Versus the pass, Dupree is an exciting prospect who has a chance to be a real pass rush specialist in the NFL. His (+) burst off the snap is a huge asset, but he needs to develop a better arsenal of pass rush moves. He's neutralized too easily if his speed doesn't win. He also has to do a better job of locating the QB, as there are moments when he beats the OT to the edge, dips, but doesn't bend quickly enough to create the shortest distance to the QB. That said, I really like the burst/foundation that he's working with. There aren't many prospects who have the baseline athleticism that Dupree possesses.
BOTTOM LINE: Bud Dupree is one of the most athletic and potentially game changing defensive prospects available in the 2015 class. He has the necessary strength and athletic ability to be a three-down player in the NFL . He's a scheme-diverse prospect that can play from a 2 pt stance and be competent dropping back into coverage while also projecting highly as a hand-in-the-dirt pass rusher. He's a first-round prospect who is likely to hear his name called in the top half of round one.

Garage Mahal, first step!
A garage is equipment, isn't it? Moderators will plug this where it belongs if this is not it.
As a long-time bathelor I have wanted for a long time to have a man-cave, garage-mahal, or what ever you'd like to tag it. Finding a spot was the problem, and I looked near and far, literally, for a place that it would fit in, while not breaking the bank for property and taxes. I found it! I live in a pretty nice part of Houston, but you'd never get away with a big garage cum residence here. I didn't want to move far away from my friends and family, so I persevered and identified a very small, unique street just about two miles from here, same zip code, with mixed construction; older residences and some metal buildings for auto repair, etc. It is an area that is redeveloping and is just outside the inner loop where prices are sky high. This spot is near a railroad, so I'll have to get used to that, but I don't think it will be a problem the way I sleep. I can hear the same trains from my home here, but I'll obviously be much closer in the future. I found this lot one day and made an offer the next; accepted. Now it is off to the races to get finished by the end of the summer. Sadly, some of my travel plans may be interrupted, but so be it.
I have two lots, platted as one, and the dimensions are 130' x 116, located next to last lot on a street off of another that is little traveled except by locals and folks who work at the nearby millwork plant. That building is a beauty from the 30's or 40's, modern styled for then, and a virtual landmark. My plans are to build a single long metal building, 36' x around 110', with loft space if not room for a second story. It all depends on dollars, but since the residence will be just the end two bays and the rest garage space, it shouldn't be too much. Fingers crossed. Construction cost here in Houston is pretty good, thankfully. As a retired architect, I'll spiff up the metal building skin a bit, use commercial storefront for the doors and windows, and commercial doors and frames inside. It will be fairly contemporary in appearance. There will be a bay for my travel trailer, and plenty of space for cars, trucks, and most of all, motorcycles. Oh to have room for work benches and tools, wall storage, loft storage, and whatever. Gotta have a shop bathroom and shower too, with space for a guest room. The residence will have two small bedrooms, one bath, and a common kitchen,dining room, living room. That's all I need folks!
Close on the property probably next week, then clear and grub the lot, make sure two huge pecan trees are healthy, get rid of the other trash trees and get my metal building company working on the real plans. They are estimating off of a sketch for now. OK, I'm excited, and just thought I would "share". If you guys were doing this, what acutremonts would you put in that glorious garage space?

All Hail! The Garage Mahal!
That is AWESOME! I Have had the same plan for years, although marriage got in the way of it for some time. Well no more;~)
I was divorced last summer and have been looking for the ideal property that sounds just like what you have found. I live in the Salt Lake City area and need to stay in the area as I have a little girl that needs to stay local.
I have been looking for both an acceptable lot or even something existing in a light industrial area....I have always told my friends "I need a 3,000 SF garage with a 200 SF home;~)
Keep us posted on your progress....

The wife and I have been wanting to make an inner loop compound similar to what you describe for almost a decade now and have found it to be cost prohibitive. We were thinking east side before the Metro rail line started laying tracks now that has been ruled out. North side maybe? I am looking forward to your progress report.
What would I put in there?
Shop shower for sure, an industrial sink is handy from time to time, swing and trampoline for the wife, place to wash dogs, wood storage area/room, small machine shop, small wood shop, wood fired stove for the two days of winter we have, kinetic sculpture (I tried to sell the wife on putting a Ducati in the living room once that way, didn't work as planned no duc), an auto lift if it is in the budget (or sunken bay if you are brave and can afford it), stereo, projector, and some sort of beer fridge or kegerator.
I forgot some sort of moveable chain hoist mounted to the ceiling/rafters.

what would i do?
Me too, I'd do a woodburning stove, if power goes down due to ice storm, you're covered. I built my shop with HVAC heat pump, and if the emergency element kicks on, well let's just say it would have paid for the stove and bought delivered firewood. Shop shower/sink - a must, a motorcycle lift is oh-so nice (thank you very much). But I didnt think of the chain hoist - I'd go a step further and make a sliding rail for just the front portion of the Shop for pulling a truck engine or loading/moving machinery with an electric hoist! Only need about 2000# capacity here. I'm too old to pull on chains! The beer fridge in shop is nice - I've got one but if your humble abode is 20 steps away under the same roof, why bother. I'd go with a hot-tub. Think of the chicks you'd impress! (besides, they like drinks from a blender........) Congrats on the new property purchase! Building/Designing Shops is fun!!!

I forgot something...
Not sure if your new place will have alley access (I know a few neighborhoods in Houston do) I would put doors that open at the fore and aft of the property specifically to be able to pull in from either side. The other benefit would be to add a giant shop fan that would allow you to blow out all of the hot air during the summer. Or on days when the weather is nice like the past two weeks you could open both doors and have a nice breeze while you work.

I agree on the shop sink and shower/bath for the major grunge removal.
I'd also want a motorcycle lift (Handy?) but I'd want it built into the floor so that the floor of the lift is leveled to the shop floor - I'm short so I can't reach the ground if on a lift!!
I like the idea of the sliding rail hoist for easy bike teardown or auto engine removal as well.
I also didn't see anyone mention full sound system built in to the shop, and a computer work station for getting on advrider to get help when stumped!!
Full Spectrum lighting with electronic ballasts as well - I'm getting older and need good lighting to see stuff any more!
Good luck, post pics when you can!!

I'd plumb it for compressed air outlets in the shop area, as well as a good electrical service panel to run a nice size compressor and also a mig/tig outfit. A nice flat-panel TV on the wall and some nice service flooring mats in the non-grease/oil areas would be fun.

Great ideas all; keep them coming. There will be a garage door in the back wall for ventilation, but it will be too close to the back line for much access. I'm squeezed between a giant Pecan tree and the back fence. Lots of outlets for everything, shop shower and bathroom absolutely required, and I'll have as much "loft" storage for five guys. I've thought about putting a floor pit in one bay, like in the old time garages, but we have a real high water table so I would have to have a sump pump. Still, maybe I will. That might cost more than a good used auto lift though. I'll have a fireplace or wood stove in the house, but probably not the garage. Would like to, but getting wood is an issue. We used to have a family ranch where there was an endless supply just for the cutting, but no more. When I did construction in WA state we collected all wood scraps and cut them up to feed into the shop heater. It kept our heavy equipment shop nice and toasty. Hmmmmm.
I will have to get a SmugMug account set up so I can post pics and let everyone follow along. Got a bid for clearing and grubbing today, and the building estimate is coming along. Want to finish by Fall and do the finish work this winter. There will be plenty of room for inmates passing thru Houston on their way somewhere else. It's a great town for business and to make a living, but for scenery, not so much. Still, it's home, and I'm a native. 'Have to throw a party when it's all done.

Wood may not be an issue, there are plenty of pallets left out in Heights on the curb. I imagine any neighborhood where they are building new townhouses to be the same. Transportation on the other hand can be a PITA if you don't have a truck or van capable of moving them. Additionally I remember reading in the paper that the COH was thinking that a significant portion of the trees (5% maybe) may need to be felled this year due to the drought last year.

|Criterion A
|The Masonic Temple is important in demonstrating the rapid growth of towns along the path of the railway and a reminder of the way in which Freemasonry was established in many western towns by the workers constructing those lines.
|Criterion B
|It is a remarkable demonstration of adapting a classical vocabulary to a vernacular style and available materials and the painted mock stonework on the front is a very rare technique in Queensland.
|Criterion D
|The Barcaldine temple is important as a characteristic and intact example of a regional Masonic temple, a category of building often prominent in both the streetscape and social life of many country towns.
|Criterion E
|The Barcaldine temple is important as a characteristic and intact example of a regional Masonic temple, a category of building often prominent in both the streetscape and social life of many country towns.
|Criterion G
|The Masonic Temple, Barcaldine, has a special association with both lodge members and with the Freemason's movement in Queensland.
|The Masonic temple at Barcaldine was constructed in 1901 as the second temple of the Comet Lodge, the first having been moved from Dingo Creek in stages following the growth of the railway line. Freemasonry spread from New South Wales into Queensland in individual lodges. The first Freemason's lodge in Queensland was established in 1859, shortly before Separation from New South Wales. New lodges were formed as settlement spread and Freemasonry was carried along newly built roads and railways by Masons who were working on them. In 1876 Robert Ballard, Chief Engineer with the Central Railway pushing westwards from Rockhampton and a handful of other Masons, established the Comet Lodge No 1680 at Dingo Creek. The lodge is possibly unique in that it holds its warrant almost 300 miles (kilometers) away from the town for which it was granted. The railway workers who were members carried their building with them, dismantling it and moving it in railway trucks to be bolted together again in a new settlement as work progressed. In this manner it moved to the new railway camp at Cometville in 1878, Emerald in 1879, Bogantungan in 1881, Pine Hill in 1883 Jericho in 1885 and finally came to rest in Barcaldine in 1886. It was then refurbished. A new and larger temple was constructed in 1900 for a cost of £720 and is said to have been based on the original. It was dedicated in 1901 and continued to make an important contribution to the life of the town as a venue for social interaction. Conservation work was undertaken on the building in the early 1980s, when the painted 'masonry' effect on the facade was reinstated.
|The Masonic temple is located on the west side of Beech Street, Barcaldine. It is a two storey, timber framed building set on low stumps with a gambrel corrugated iron clad roof with triangular dormers on the north and south sides. The exterior is clad plainly in vertical corrugated iron on the back and sides. The most striking feature of the building is the elaborate treatment of the front, which is clad with horizontal timber boards painted to mimic ashlar masonry. The gable facing the front has scalloped barge boards and finials. The facade is divided into three bays by fluted timber pilasters supporting a scalloped entablature below the eave. It has a central entrance sheltered by a pediment porch and flanked by sash windows. The upper storey has high round arched windows to each bay. The sides of the building have large windows on the ground floor and small high openings on the floor above. The interior is clad with tongue and groove timber boards and is very intact, retaining the original colour schemes. The ground floor, which is used as a supper room, exhibits a brown dado with hand painted floral frieze. Above this is are horizontal tongue and groove boards painted ochre yellow. The room has a series of shallow arched enclosed beams supporting the upper floor. At the rear of the ground floor there are ancillary rooms situated in either corner. Between them is a central entrance which has a section of hit and miss flooring, presumably for the clearing of mud from boots. From here a timber stair with a simple slatted balustrade rises in an L form to the upper floor landing off which a dressing room opens directly into the lodge room. This has partially curved ceilings that rise to a boarded ceiling set between moulded ribs which spring from mock pilasters at the side walls. The ceiling between has been lined with what appears to be 'caneite' sheet. The wall panels are a mix of horizontal and diagonal boards set above a simple dado. It is lit only by small high windows down the sides and by the three semicircular windows at the front.
