SDN at the NSF ECC: or, the latest OpenFlow research
Guess I've been doing too much Twittering lately; for the acronym challenged, I'm talking about Software-Defined Networking research at the National Science Foundation's conference on Enterprise Computing, hosted at Marist College (one of the prominent endorsers of the ODIN documents). This past week at the Enterprise Computing Conference has been really interesting; if you've never been to this event, I'd encourage you to consider it. Among other things, I learned about several recent case studies on proof points showing that IT education can lead to productive employment, and about a free IBM service that connects people with System Z skills to potential jobs. While there have been a lot of good talks, I'd like to spend some time today going over Marist's contributions to software-defined networking and OpenFlow..
For those of you who don't know what SDN and OpenFlow mean, beyond being some of the hottest buzzwords in the networking industry right now, you can check out the appropriate volume of the Open Datacenter Interoperable Network (ODIN) reference architecture for a detailed introduction to this topic and the problems it addresses. For those who just need a quick refresher, software-defined networking is an approach which allows the basic data flows through a switch to be manipulated through an external controller. It's an industry standard approach being led by the Open Network Foundation (ONF), a consortium run by the world's largest network users (Google, Facebook, Verizon, and more). OpenFlow is a relatively new industry standard which separates the data plane and control plane of a switch, creating flow table abstractions (in other words, you can match data flows based on content of the packets and perform actions associated with each flow match; if you don't assign a flow, traffic can be blocked or filtered using this technique). Optimal paths through the network are defined by the OpenFlow controller, rather than some proprietary software within the switch.
One of the potential benefits of OpenFlow is that it allows you to innovate at Internet speeds, by just changing the software and not replacing or reconfiguring the switch hardware. There are still open questions about just how large an OpenFlow controller can scale, how many controllers we need, etc. Marist College has created an SDN lab which will contribute to the OpenFlow community, support research around SDN, and possibly support compliance testing in the near future. They are engaged with some large OpenFlow switch providers (including IBM) and some interested OpenFlow adopters (to be named later) to investigate use cases and performance limitations of the current OpenFlow protocol. Their current lab environment includes four IBM G8264 OpenFlow enabled 10/40G switches in a spine-leaf configuration, running under an open source FloodLight controller. These switches interconnect a server farm based on IBM x86, Power, and System Z enterprise servers. Many of the x86 servers run the VMWare hypervisor and the IBM 5000v virtual switch. The servers are connected via a separate Fibre Channel SAN to various enterprise storage devices.
One of Marist's early contributions has been to create an open source FloodLight administrative control panel (FACP) that can be used for network administration. The FACP eliminates the need to write Python script to control the switches, thereby reducing management complexity. FACP provides an abstraction of the network, and a configuration application can be build against this abstraction. At the conference, Marist held a demo showing how this controller can provision quality of service and routing of Layer 2 & 3 VLANs in the network. Manipulation of firewall ACLs is also possible, and future extensions may include MPLS and other WAN related protocols. Ongoing work in this area is focused on creating a static flow pusher, which will allow a static programmable interface to write scripts which support flow tables across the network using the FloodLight rest API.
Further investigation will include such topics as demonstrating multi-vendor interoperability under a common FloodLight controller, and exploring the limits of scalability and security associated with OpenFlow networking. Keep up with their latest work and see their presentation from the NSF conference .

Item # SRM0300
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Brake Levers & Integrated Shifters in stock than that.View Similar Products
SRAM Red Ergo Dynamic Shifters $0.00
In designing the Red Ergo Dynamic Shifters, SRAM focused its research and development on perfecting their shape, texture, and materials. SRAM retained the internals of the first generation Red DoubleTap levers, and brought laser-like focus to ergonomics.
The new ErgoFit bodies are somewhat smaller in diameter when compared side-to-side with the old Red. This improves grip and finger wrap by allowing more room under the hood for a control- and comfort-boosting connection. The new shape offers a smooth transition from bar to hood and SRAM covered it with lightly padded, textured rubber to thwart fatigue and enhance grip. They also reshaped the hoods, increasing the size of the bulge up top for increased leverage and comfort when you're stretched out, putting extra pressure on the hoods.
Because the internals carry over, or have been slightly modified to fit the new body, the Red Ergo Dynamic levers retain the crisp movement between gears SRAM mastered with the first-generation Red. The key to this is SRAM's ZeroLoss and DoubleTap technologies. DoubleTap technology allows shifting both up and down the cassette from a single lever -- this provides an intuitive connection between body and bike. ZeroLoss is an optimized pawl geometry to provide cable actuation as soon as you apply pressure to the shift lever. This offers the highest-level of smoothness and response in both upshifting and downshifting. It's especially noticeable as you shift from the small to the big ring.
While the guts were good, racer beta and other feedback encouraged SRAM to enhance both the brake lever and shifter paddle's shape and position. The improved, larger carbon shift paddle makes the act of shifting less of an effort. When you're at max power, shifting from the drops can sometimes feel overwhelming. As before, the carbon fiber brake and shift levers are independently reach-adjustable. However, easier access to the adjustment screws allows simple placement of these essential controls, where they'll offer a custom connection to your hands. On the bell lap, this may mean the difference between shifting to the right gear, and not shifting at all.
One of the most appreciated features of SRAM shifters is their innovative cable routing, and the Red Ergo Dynamic Shift Levers continue that tradition. You can cleanly route the shift cables either on the inside or the outside of the bars. Regardless of your handlebar choice, you won't need to fret about being required to run cables in one single way. You can choose the routing that meets your preference in bar-feel.
The SRAM Red Ergo Dynamic Shifters come with a low-friction cable and housing kit for both derailleurs. Given the intensely unique mechanics of DoubleTap shifting, please note that SRAM recommends that you use a complete SRAM Red drivetrain, including both derailleurs, cassette, chain, and crankset in order to optimize shift quality.

New shape and levers are an improvement
I hate buying shifters because they are priced outrageously considering there isn't much to them and they are the most likely thing to break on the bike.
Even though my old SRAM shifters worked with the amazing SRAM Yaw front derailleur the new SRAM Red removed the trim position and shifts seem snappier both front and rear. +1 star there.
I do applaud the new ergonomics as I have way better brake control riding on the hoods, less shifting/braking interference, and the longer levers naturally fit you hand in the drops. +1 star there
They are also super easy to adjust to hand size and include a gel piece to transition between the bar and shifter that works real nice. +1 star
The shifters come with a set of Gore ride-on professional cables are the best available in my opinion. +1 star there
They are scary light, so light I assume if one of my kids knocks over the bike the shifter is toast. It is also concerning that the lever stick out past the bar so it would be the first thing to hit the ground. +1 star here maybe
Then there is cost; buying these Taiwan shifters at over $600 is silly high when you think you can buy a American Made Fender guitar for $900. But the price is in line with Shimano and Campy and apparently we suckers pay for it. -1 star

Biological diversity - or biodiversity - is a term we use to describe the variety of life on Earth. It refers to the wide variety of ecosystems and living organisms: animals, plants, their habitats and their genes.
Biodiversity is the foundation of life on Earth. It is crucial for the functioning of ecosystems which provide us with products and services without which we couldn't live. Oxygen, food, fresh water, fertile soil, medicines, shelter, protection from storms and floods, stable climate and recreation - all have their source in nature and healthy ecosystems. But biodiversity gives us much more than this. We depend on it for our security and health; it strongly affects our social relations and gives us freedom and choice.
Biodiversity is extremely complex, dynamic and varied like no other feature of the Earth. Its innumerable plants, animals and microbes physically and chemically unite the atmosphere (the mixture of gases around the Earth), geosphere (the solid part of the Earth), and hydrosphere (the Earth's water, ice and water vapour) into one environmental system which makes it possible for millions of species, including people, to exist.
At the same time, no other feature of the Earth has been so dramatically influenced by man's activities. By changing biodiversity, we strongly affect human well-being and the well-being of every other living creature.

This my quick summary of the articles. I ignored the details of the actual missions because I didn't want to spoil it for myself....
- Accessing the mobile phone after being wasted or busted in a mission allows you to immediately restart it.
- In hand to hand combat, each button does a different attack, and combos are possible if they are pressed in the right order.
- In confined areas, or in spaces close to long drops, the movement controls become less sensitive so you don't find yourself inadvertently slamming into walls or falling off rooftops.
- Broker is the only island accessible from the start of the game, with bridges leading out of it being blocked off by police blockades, however the second area, Boham, won't take as long to unlock as the outback did in San Andreas.
- In higher-end sports cars, the GPS system tells you where to go in spoken words.
- Cars are not customizable and you can't store things inside them.
- The targetting system allows you angle up for headshots or down to shoot arms or legs (anyone who has played Crackdown will know how useful this can be).
- There are a total of 18 radio stations.
- There should be a Multiplayer hands-on preview next month.
Team Xbox
- Pressing the Left Bumper on the Xbox 360 controller while driving brings up an aiming reticule and allows Niko to shoot out of the car.
- The size of your 'wanted radius' (the area which you have to escape to lose the cops) increases with your wanted level.
- Niko is a master at Krav Maga, a fighting style used in the Israeli Special Forces.
- Insane Stunt Jumps are back.
- You can be flung through the windshield if you crash at high speed.
- Underwater explosions send eruptions to the surface.
- Day/night cycle changes in natural gradients so each day looks different.
- The frame rate is "absolutely rock solid".
- The difference in the controls for low and high-end cars is far larger than in the previous GTAs.
The IGN preview was shit so I didn't pull anything from there, and I didn't add this into the original post because, as I said, I ignored the missions, so it's not a full summary...

Monitoring Knowledge Flow through Scholarly Networks
Erjia Yan, Ying Ding and Xiangnan Kong
Monday, 6:30pm
The production and creation of knowledge is not dependent on any individual and isolated entity; instead, knowledge is diffused, exchanged, and circulated among various entities. To study the knowledge flow and transfer within and across different disciplines can help us better understand science and scientific collaboration. This paper presents a methodological framework to study knowledge flow, including a knowledge hierarchy, the construction of knowledge flow network, and indicators that can be used to measure disciplinarities.

What can non residents do to stop this?
Definitely a lazy approach to controlling an elk herd...I agree with you guys get the congressmen and special interest groups involved, using humans as the management tool, and I would like to add it would be a great opportunity for kids and vets to get free tags to help with that areas "apparent" elk problem.
luck is when opportunity meets preparation...
What can non residents do to stop this?
Like I said in my previous post...not new to Colorado. Rocky Mountain National Park is simply overrun with elk. I am sure the park officials and naturalists are right that they are doing damage to the trees, shrubs and habitat. In RMNP's case the park officials said wolves would help solve the problem and there was a huge uproar and they backed off. They decided to hire "professional hunters" (whoever the hell they are!) to shoot some of the elk. RMEF, Colorado State Wildlife and lots of hunting groups protested. Several other proposals for real hunters to to buy tags and take the surplus were put forth, actually making the park $$$. But for not... as the "no hunting in NPs" mandate prevailed. I am sure similiar cases of NPs being overrun with game are out there. IMHO the only way to solve this is at the national level. As much as I hate Washington DC, they are the ones we have to get to. RMEF, NRA and your local representatives to Congress is the place to start. If I remember correctly, it is not law that we cannot hunt in NPs, it tradition and by directive from the Dept of Interior head (very political!!) Caveat....I am recalling this situation from a 70 year old's prospective and my memory might be a little fuzzy on some of the exact facts...but generally thats what happened!

"My Father always considered a walk in the mountains as the equivalent of church going."
Aldous Huxley
I would gather with what happened in Yellowstone introducing wolves and them spreading outside the boundary of the park, professional paid hunters to cull the herd is what they will end up deciding also for Baca National Wildlife Refuge too.
I find it sad that the recreational hunter can't be used more as a wildlife management tool. Instead decisions are continually made that cost the state millions of dollars each year. Money the state continually mentions they don't have and we see cutbacks to state programs. That just does not seem beneficial to the state to me. Recreational hunters would not only be glad to hunt and help manage the big game but they would pay for the privilege to do so and create some positive revenue for the state.
Last edited by Kevin Root; 01-27-2012 at 08:31 AM.
Well I have a better solution that would cost the same more or less. Why doesnt Colorado cull the herd like a cattle rancher would. You pick out a group of animals, round them up, and truck them off?
Maybe sell them to a state that needs a boost back to a local herd that is being ate off by wolves already? Obviously we are recognizing our big game is missing right? Obviously we agree wolves have ate more than that which was intended(as if we could know how wolves acted right? God!! Who knew they ate meat right?)
Anyway sarcasm aside.......dart the elk, load em up....truck them to a needed place. Maybe other states may even buy the elk like an auction??????? Off-set cost of round up for Colorado......build up the missing in states that need the help???????
I know its common cense... Good thing Im not a politician I would be lynched with ideas like this.
I hunt because......
Im sorry for not considering one thing though.......some how some way there would end up being some scientific reason the elk would be sick of coarse and may make other heards sick.....just an impossible accomplishment to do.....
But it was ok to bring in wolves....they didnt consider any canine problems... FYI this was just to cover any excuses that would be spoken on in a public hearing....haha because you know that would be a number one bonafied ignorant one they would use!
I hunt because......
I found this on bowsite.com , time to bombard these guys with your comments. Common sense just escapes these people, instead of issuing more tags and different seasons to cull the herd they will spend millions of our tax dollars to drop some wolves into hills and let the population go unchecked. Our game animals and our hunting heritage will soon be on the endangered list because of these idiots! Let them now how you feel.
Aim small, Miss small.
Simple wolf solution.........shoot, shut-up, walk away. Problem solved.
They are bound and determined to ruin big game hunting !! Why are wolves needed for anything and then protect them ?
Absolutely amazing! Why dosen't someone just ask Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana how well wolf reintroduction worked for them! This is yet again one of the dumbest things the Feds could do! To bad they just continue to try and push the same mistakes!

1934 Ford Coupe - Rockabilly Hot RodWritten by on March 19, 2013 Contributors: Henry Z. DeKuyper Marcus Edell's '34 coupe is fast driving, traditional, and a whole lotta fun
As the drummer for the West Coast rockabilly band the RevTones, Marcus Edell is used to being in the spotlight. His '34 Ford has been getting a taste of that kind of attention recently. The metallic blue coupe is familiar to anyone who visited the Suede Palace at the 2012 Grand National Roadster Show, where the early-'60s–flavored hot rod was displayed front and center. It's also well known on the Hokey Ass Message Board website, where HAMB members watched its start-to-finish progress over the course of a couple years.
When Marcus bought the '34 Ford 40 DeLuxe coupe from Lee "Vance" Hulick, another HAMB member, the car was a running project with a Chevy small-block, T5 trans, and 8-inch rear. Hulick had already chopped the top 2-1/2 inches, and louvered the decklid. Traces of metallic paint and custom gauge holes in the dash provided hints that the coupe had been a hot rod as early as the '50s. Marcus' original intent was to fix what needed to be fixed and flip the car to pay for a project. Instead, the '34 became that project.
In the truest hot rod tradition, Marcus got lots of help and encouragement, especially from his wife, Samantha, along with fellow HAMB members and a few pro builders here and there.
When Marcus took ownership of the coupe, the stock frame had already been strengthened with an X-member from Pete & Jake's. Matt Seret at Seret Speed & Custom in Vallejo took it a step further by boxing the 'rails. Marcus sold the frontend, replacing it with a new frontend from Riley Automotive. New hot rod components include a Super Bell dropped I-beam axle and spindles, SO-CAL–covered shocks, hairpins, and Posies Super Slider leafs. Chrome was chosen or added wherever possible to brighten up the front. Kevin Gallagher at Gallagher's Oil Farm in Napa set up the Flaming River Corvair reversed steering box—in addition to building the decklid inner skin, chopping garnish moldings, modifying the dash, and running the plumbing and wiring. A Ford 8-inch rearend runs a 4.11 gear ratio with a Trac-Lok limited-slip differential. Rear suspension is provided by a set of parallel leaf springs from Posies and Pete & Jake's shocks.
For power, Marcus had something earlier in mind than a small-block. The Chevy was sold to a fellow HAMB member, replaced by a '51 Ford 8BA Flathead. Custom Flathead builder Eric Brown at Go Cat Speedshop in Morrison, Colorado, put together a "hogged out" stroker 304ci for the '34 with a Schneider 0.425-lift full-race cam, Scat crank, and polished aluminum Sharp 59A heads. The block and intake were port-matched; the N.O.S. Weiand intake with quadruple Stromberg 97 carbs is a unique Flathead setup, and is dressed up with Cal Custom–style finned aluminum air cleaners. Go Cat converted the flattie to a full-flow oil system, with a repro Hildebrandt beehive oil filter from O'Brien Truckers. A new Roto-Faze distributor was added and the stock generator was converted to 12 V. With the Flathead perched on Seret Speed & Custom engine mounts, Red's Headers route the exhaust, capped with 18-inch glasspacks. Dump tubes were installed at Neal's Mufflers in Castro Valley. The Camaro T5 transmission that had backed up the small-block was tied to the Flathead using an adapter kit from Flat-o Products.
At Altissimo Restorations in Napa, Brandon Penserini and Raymundo Gonzalez continued the bodywork that had already been started on the original '34 steel. When the body was ready for paint, Marcus chose '05 Ford Mustang Windveil Blue, similar to a '59 Cadillac color he likes. Penserini and Gonzalez shot the metallic blue PPG paint. The custom firewall, built by Seret, was covered in contrasting white. Well-known 'striper Herb Martinez added some perfect pinstriping in the low-key style of the late great Tommy the Greek.
Gallagher handled the final assembly. Most of the exterior hardware and components are new parts. Headlights are repros of vintage BLC lights: the taillights are off of a '58 Impala. The grille, door handles, and gas tank are Bob Drake Reproductions. The front spreader bar and Peep mirror were found on eBay; the rear spreader bar came from Pete & Jake's. Vintage License Plate Restoration in Fort Worth refreshed Marcus' original plates. He got the glass from Ron Brooks at Allied Glass in Castro Valley, a fellow club member. High Lustre Chrome Plating in Hayward plated the windshield frame just before our photo shoot.
The coupe's tires and wheels roll right out of the '60s. Piecrust Radir M/T cheater slicks are paired with 5-1/2-inch-wide Hurst Super Cushion whitewall radials in front. The 16x8 and 15x4.5 Halibrand "Smoothie" replicas are from Real Rodders. A pair of '39 Lincoln drums brakes in front and 12-inch Ford rear drums are assisted by a Ford dual-reservoir master cylinder.
On the inside, the coupe keeps the blue and white color combo going with two-tone vinyl, wrapped around the Chrysler mini van bench by Jesus Macias at Super Auto Upholstery. The pattern continues on the door panels, into the trunk, and on the top insert. The Moon 15-inch vinyl steering wheel is mounted on a LimeWorks '40 Ford column. A '61 Hurst yo-yo shifter was a great choice. Marcus managed to find a Stewart-Warner Twin Blue tach and gauges, and Classic Instruments built a custom speedometer to match.
The '34 had been finished for only a few weeks when it made its public debut at the Grand National Roadster Show. Although a lot of people had followed the buildup via photos posted on the HAMB, few had seen it in person before that weekend. At the Suede Palace awards ceremony, Marcus was the last guy called to the stage where, in addition to the Ilegales Car Club pick, he received the award for Best of Show. Since then, he's picked up the Best Hot Rod prize at the Sacramento Autorama Suede Pavilion, Best Street Rod at the Style Kings Car Club Show, and two awards from the West Coast Kustoms Cruisin' Nationals.
Shortly after we photographed the '34, Marcus posted a message on the HAMB announcing the sale of the 8BA engine. By the time you read this, there will be a hopped-up, dressed-up 390ci Cadillac taking the place of that Flathead—and keeping the coupe in the spotlight.

She was the first performer and is currently the only female in country music history to win the Country Music Association's "Entertainer of the Year" award twice, and she has also won the Country Music Association's "Female Vocalist of the Year" twice.

This post serves as a kind of a bridge. It contains further review of reading knitting shorthand and charts from the last post. It also prepares the ground for a new TECHknitting series on improving your knitting by making better edges--the next several posts are about:
1) why the very edges of bands and cuffs are wonky and
2) some things you can to do about it.
Stockinette curls. Ribbing doesn't, and neither does seed stitch, moss stitch, garter stitch. For a full explanation of why this should be, click here.
Non-curling fabrics are traditionally used at the edges of garments. Below is a review of these different non-curling fabric which are usually used as bands (bottom bands, front bands, neck bands and cuffs, also hat bands). These stitch patterns are also used as the "frame" around a flat item, such as a scarf or afghan.
You will note that on this chart, the row numbers appear on opposite sides of the chart. This indicates that you are to knit flat (back and forth) because you can see that you are to start at a different edge for every row.
(below) To knit garter stitch in the round: *knit one round, purl one round* repeat.You will note that on this chart, the row numbers all appear at the same side of the chart. This indicates that you are to knit circular because you can see that you are to start every row at the same edge--a thing only possible if you knit around and around, coming back to the starting place with each round.
row1: *k1, p1* repeat until last stitch, k1
row 2: *p1, k1* repeat until last stitch, p1
repeat rows 1 and 2.
(below) To rib (1x1) in the round: every round on an even number of stitches, *k1, p1*
A 4-row repeat is shown to give a bigger sample of the overall pattern.
(below) To seed stitch in the round: on an odd number of stitches,
round 1: *p1, k1* end with p1
round 2: *k1, p1* end with k1
rounds 3 and 4 are simply repeats of rounds 1 and 2, and are shown only to give a bigger sample of the overall pattern.
4. Moss stitch (below)(below) To moss stitch flat: on an odd number of stitches,
(Moss stitch is sometimes called double moss, Irish moss and small broken rib)
(Moss stitch is sometimes called double moss, Irish moss and small broken rib)
row 1: *p1, k1* repeat until last stitch, p1
row 2: *k1, p1* repeat until last stitch, k1
row 3: same as row 2
row 4: same as row 1
repeat these 4 rows
(below) To moss stitch in the round: on a even number of stitches,
round 1: *p1, k1*
round 2: same as round 1
round 3: *k1, p1*
round 4: same as round 3
repeat these 4 rounds.
Do you see a pattern? Each of these stitch patterns puts a nearly equal number of knit and purl stitches on each face of the fabric. With knits and purl equally distributed on each face, there is no tendency for the fabric to curl. (Again, for more information about all this, click here.)
The next post will turn to the very edges of all these non-curling fabrics, and find out why the edges of your cuffs and collars, bottom bands and front bands are so splayed out, or so tight -- so darned WONKY!

|Pitching with Pritch
Season is well underway
By Larry Pritchett
A weekend of disappoint, close calls, and some victories. I have to start with the Huskers football game. I don't like to be a fair weather fan of anything, but at the present time I don't want to see the name Bo Pelini and the term defensive guru in the same sentence.

Gardening season is in full swing at St. Isidore Centennial Garden!
Avera McKennan has tilled just over 60 garden plots at Cliff Avenue and 21st Street, which are being tended by Avera McKennan employees throughout the growing season. Gardeners get their own 8-by-20-foot space, free of charge, to plant fruit or vegetables. We thank the Avera employees and their families who have chosen to work a garden spot in St. Isidore Centennial Garden.
St. Isidore the Farmer is the patron of farming and rural communities. Born in 1070 to poor Catholic parents in Madrid, Spain, he worked as a farm laborer his entire life, rising early each day to attend Mass, and then communicating with God throughout the day as he worked the soil.
As Avera McKennan celebrates our centennial year in 2011, we take pride in our own farming heritage in South Dakota. The Presentation Sisters, early sponsors of Avera McKennan, grew their own fresh produce on St. Isidore's Farm in Aberdeen, and St. Rita's Farm in Sioux Falls.
As did St. Isidore the Farmer, we hope Avera employees will find spiritual peace and fulfillment in working the soil. We encourage gardeners to share the fruits of their labor to benefit others, through organizations like the Good Shepherd Center, St. Francis House, the Banquet, the Walsh Family Village, Avera Prince of Peace and Dougherty Hospice House.
LifeCare, Avera McKennan's worksite wellness program, is the proud departmental sponsor of this event. The garden provides employees with the opportunity to engage in gardening activities which help promote emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. Learn more about Avera's wellness services.
Happy gardening!
Avera McKennan has partnered with Landscape Garden Centers for an abundant harvest in St. Isidore Centennial Garden. Landscape Garden Centers is offering guidance to St. Isidore gardeners as they plant and tend to their plots throughout the growing season, as well as discounts on plants and gardening supplies. Landscape Garden Centers will also be judging the "best of the best" plots later this season! Stay tuned.
Thank you to Landscape Garden Centers for your support and guidance to Avera employees.

I go in in the dark, I have a headlamp and will only turn it on if I absolutely need it. I will turn it on crossing a creek or something.
Deer sense colors toward the violet end of the spectrum, so they can see blues and probably even ultraviolet (UV) light. Deer show a slight sensitivity to yellow, but tests indicate that green, orange, and red appear to them as shades of gray. (field and stream)
i would prob go with the red light if you think you will be hiking thru the elk
I go in in the dark, I have a headlamp and will only turn it on if I absolutely need it. I will turn it on crossing a creek or something.
ok so here's what I found out on my"recon" trip Green work better then red. got to 15 yards of an elk with green and 50ish yards with red.Two different elk on different meadows each meadow was 100 yards wide.Wish it could have been on the same elk that would have been fun!
Can you handle the challenge.... hunt hard but safe!!
Thanks everyone for the feedback. Pretty much what I was guessing would be the case, except for your field test mthuntress, I never thought about green. So thank you again to everyone and good hunting!
I use green when deer hunting and i have had deer scare me to death because the dont react till i get within about 10 to 15 yards of them, its like they dont know what it is so they just stand there.
Ill give up all my hunting in Michigan for 2 weeks in the high country
A lot of the deer breeders here in Texas will use Red lights when they are working the deer through the vaccination barns. They don't see red as well as a lot of other colors. They do pick up the ultraviolet light that is reflected off of clothing or unnatural colors in their surroundings. Thats why you see a Red Glow around Game Cameras at night and also are starting to see quite a bit of camo clothing with Red patterns. The research is showing that deer (in daylight) can distinguish different colors of green and blue, but have a very had time picking out different shades of red. From my understanding of it that's also why wearing hunter orange is not a terrible thing, because it is in the red spectrum (supposedly) and deer don't see it as well. Elk are in the deer family, so I would think some of this would transfer across from whitetail to mule deer to elk.
When going to my deer stand in the morning, I use a red light or walk in the dark. If I know deer will be in a certain area I will shine the red light in their direction. I've walked within 50 yards of 4 or 5 deer with a red light shined at their eyes and they never moved.
What about blue lights?

Hi everyone, I've decided to proceed with purchasing Zimbra (PRO) Collaboration Suite licensing and have tried with no luck to get somebody from sales on the line for a consultation about how to proceed including the possibility of paying Zimbra's team to get me up and running.
I'll like to expand a bit more about what my current scenario is considering that installation is to be done over a dedicated server running CentOS and domain to be used already have some email accounts created (using Exim MTA) that will need to me migrated. Some suggested to just use IMAP synch to take care of mailbox migration but ultimately I'll consider paying expert professionals to help me with the set up.
Thank you.

Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - Roberto Luongo made 25 saves to backstop the
streaking Vancouver Canucks to a 2-1 win over the visiting Minnesota Wild.
Kevin Bieksa and Jannik Hansen supplied the goals for the Canucks, winners of
six in a row. They also continued their home dominance of the Wild, who fell
to 0-9-2 in their last 11 trips to Rogers Arena.
Devin Setoguchi scored a power-play goal for Minnesota, which had won two
straight. Darcy Kuemper played well in his NHL debut, stopping 28-of-30 shots.
The Wild recalled Kuemper, 22, from Houston of the American Hockey League
after Josh Harding, the scheduled starter, wasn't able to play because of
symptoms related to his multiple sclerosis.

May 25, 2016
Associated Press Release
ATLANTA (AP) -- A rare open Senate seat in Georgia promises a scrambled 2014 campaign that already has some Republicans quietly nervous.
It's a state that Democrat Barack Obama lost in both his presidential races. And it's a Senate seat that Republicans can't afford to surrender as they try to reclaim a Senate majority for the final two years of Obama's presidency.
The question is whether an expected bruising primary becomes a liability for the GOP.
GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss is retiring. The only Republicans to say so far that they're running are two congressmen -- Paul Brown and Phil Gingrey, both physicians and both conservatives.
But the Republican primary field eventually could include as many as a half-dozen candidates with a credible shot at a spot in a runoff.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Brandi Bridgett's husband, a 27-year old ex-Marine, was killed by a hit and run driver while walking home from work early Saturday morning.
Eric Bridgett was the father of three little children. And it appears the only way police are going to solve this case is from a tip.
Bridgett was run down by a hit and run driver at about 2:30 in the morning Saturday at the intersection of Kirby Road and Marwood drive in Clinton. He was walking home from a night shift at Levi's restaurant near Joint Base Andrews.
Bridgett was a chef, who recently left the Marines and returned to Prince George's County, where Brandi runs a fitness and lifestyle coaching business and the couple had plans to launch a healthy eating food truck business.
Contact the Prince George's County Police if you have any information.

WASHINGTON (WUSA)-- In a move that has surprised and electrified the non profit world, Patty Stonesifer has taken the job of CEO of Martha's Table.
Martha's Table is a DC charity that provides services to eleven hundred working and poor people per day. We're talking food, clothing and other family services.
Stonesifer had been CEO for the world's largest philanthropic foundation: the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
At the Gates organization she had about a $39 billion budget. At Martha's table she'll preside over $6 million, 91 employees and 10,000 volunteers.
Already wealthy from her Microsoft stock early on, she'll take no salary at Martha's Table. She also took no pay from the Gates Foundation.
Stonesifer comes onboard as DC non-profits prepare to argue for a piece of the city's recent $417 million surplus that Mayor Gray wants to add to the City's savings bringing its total rainy day account to $1.5 billion.
Marie Breslin, a volunteer at Martha's Table says "the city has social needs".
DC Councilman Marion Barry told WUSA9 that he will introduce a bill allowing Mayor Gray to spend up to $100 million of the surplus on jobs, affordable housing and social services.
Patty Stonesifer told me she wants to see how the city can collectively do something for the 110,000 DC residents living below the poverty level.

Missing Channels from DirecTV OTA database:
5.3 - This TV. We used to be able to get it when it was on 5.2, but it was moved to 5.3 on 1-1-11.
8.1 - RTV. KFLA moved their transponder to make the signal stronger and more available to Los Angeles viewers. I can pick it up with my OTA antnenna, but not with my HR20.
I hope someone at DirecTV reads this thread and can help!

I have been working with the Customer Advocacy Team (Customer Service's VP Office) for a month now to get our local 9.1 CBS channel added to the guide information, which has been broadcasting for the better part of nine months now. After a month, I was finally able to speak to an engineer who verified that it is in fact a station that I should be receiving and said that they would have the guide information and the channel grid updated to reflect the new channel within a couple of days.
After another week, it seems that I am back to square one in trying to convince D* that it is a digital channel, that I am using a digital antenna, that I cannot scan for channels, etc etc. In otherwords, I am back in the same loop that I was a month ago.
So with this and the silence of those in the know in this forum on the inner workings of D*, does this mean that "Houston we have a problem?":(
Posted 12 May 2011 - 10:58 AM
Next time, if you get that far, try to get the name and maybe email or phone of the engineer/tech. Not to post here, but to have for your own use.

Posted 21 May 2011 - 10:19 AM
I just re-hooked up my trusty 10-250 and it gets our local 25-4. I re-initiated the HR-20-700 and still no channel 25-4.
I noticed the same thing. My old 10-250 would pickup any channels that are strong enough, granted there may not have been any guide data, but at least you could see the channels.
The newer HR-20 uses the guide data to determine which channels it can receive. I wish DirecTV would all the unit to just receive the channels and sub-channels with need for the guide data.
Posted 23 May 2011 - 04:21 PM
It`s Greensboro, NC, but it has a channel 8.2 which is Antenna TV. Just uncheck all the other Greensboro stations.
Your AM21 will think it`s receiving Greensboro 8.2 even though it will really be Cleveland WJW 8.2.
The shows, times, etc. match up.
I live in Kent and it`s what I did.
I removed Youngstown as my secondary zip (for now, till football)
Sure would be nice if Direct TV got their sh*t together on this stuff.
Cleveland WOIO is adding 2 more subchannels soon, and I can pick up a low power station from Canton-Massillon that switched to digital (out of your range in Cleveland)
Plus there is another low power station (WAOH 29 Retro TV) that is switching to digital soon and you will be able to pick that up in Cleveland.

Please - can SOMEONE actually at DirecTV that also frequents this forum get a real definitive answer as to why DirecTV is no longer reliably adding OTA channels to the guide?
I think I just got the closest thing to an answer that we will get. The customer advocacy team just called and after two and a half months, wanted to let me know but they are sorry. The ticket is still in engineering, but there is no estimated time to fix. While I can still call and continue to ask for updates, the impression I got was, we can't fix it, we can't add your station, sorry. The recommendation from them, visit the stations website to view know what and when things are on tv. Since they can't help me, maybe Shauna in the Customer Advocacy team or Travis in Engineering can help.
Kinda sucks, I could have gone with Dish and at least received my only local CBS station.
Sorry D* the OTA as a viable means to receive local stations that are not available via sat is a big fail.

I noticed on my HR20-700 that my 29.1 CBS recordings of Craig Ferguson & Letterman this week recorded black screen / keep:delete stuff showing that it was recorded on 58.1.
58.1 still isnt in the antenna setup, so I guess this is a mapping issue from CBS 29.1 since they also own 58.2 (.1) Fox.

It is messed up on my Tivo and HR20 boxes also. My Tivo lists 58-1 twice. One as the correct Fox feed and one incorrectly as CBS. I checked zap2it and they also have it wrong. That means that Tribune did something in their listings. I've contacted the person at the station that handles this. Hopefully they can get it cleared up tomorrow. It's a bummer that it happened over a long weekend.

CIII channel 22 (Global Network) from Stevenson, Ontario, Canada has just flash-cut (remaining on channel 22) from analog to 1080i HD digital broadcasting, and is coming in here (northern Detroit suburbs) just fine with my outside antenna on my tv's internal tuner on 22.1/22.1 (no other subchannels).
This is the first of four nearby Canadian stations I expect to receive in digital HD via antenna as they all switch by the August 31 deadline. The other three are:
CICO 32.1/32.1 (TVOntario) - Windsor, Ontario (expected August 18)
CBET 9.1/9.1 (CBC) - Windsor, Ontario (expected August 31)
CHWI 16.1/16.1 (A Network) - Wheatley, Ontario (expected August 31)
I sent a message this evening to Tribune/zap2it.com (which currently shows CIII as analog 22 and includes all of its program listings) to advise them that the station has flash-cut to digital HD on 22.1 and that the analog version of this channel is now gone. I also advised that I am a DirecTV subscriber in the metro Detroit DMA using the AM21 over-the-air receiver, and am hoping that CIII 22.1 and its program guide data will be shown in my AM21 on-screen guide shortly as part of the available metro Detroit over-the-air station listings.
I'll also provide further updates as the remaining 3 Canadian stations convert to digital. Is there anything else I can/should do to help with these updates?

Given the supposed shortage of Guide memory capacity, and the fact that these are Canadian stations, I think it's very unlikely that DirecTV will add them. But keep us posted.

The Bearcage ProjectWritten by on June 9, 2013 Contributors: Lester Nehamkin Lost & Found - Before The Cheetah Came The Bearcage
Who knew that by printing one small archive photo of a wooden buck shaped like no roadster we could identify ("A Year in the Life of Eric Rickman: 1960," July 2011), followed by a brief history of the Cheetah ("More of the Same," May 2013), we'd be blowing the dust off of the story about a stillborn sports car that directly preceded the Cheetah project? That dusty trail took us to Florida and Oregon and Don Edmunds, 85, who led the design of both cars: the former while working for Bill Stroppe in 1958–1960, and the latter in conjunction with Bill Thomas in 1962–1963.
At a time when "Birdcage" Maseratis were all the rage, Stroppe's crew tagged this project the Bearcage (referencing Bill's imposing physical presence). Similarities to the subsequent Cheetah were pointed out to us by historian Geoff Hacker, whose sport-custom collection was featured in our last edition ("Plastic Fantastic," May '13). Geoff rocked us with the revelation that the unfinished Bearcage not only survives but is safely in the hands of a buddy determined to complete a job that frustrated a series of talented owners over the last half-century.
Don Edmunds was already a hero of Southern California's high-performance scene before being hired at the storied Stroppe and Associates skunk works responsible for much of FoMoCo's racing success. He arrived with a resume that included recognition as Rookie Driver of the Year at the '57 Indianapolis 500 (though the freshman sensation had been driving professionally since 1947). Don had also been the lead fabricator at Bill Devin's, Doug Caruthers', and Eddie Kuzma's race-car shops. It was at Stroppe's that he became forever linked to the Bearcage. "I was just messing around with this for Bill in my spare time. I think he dropped the car either because he thought it was gonna be too much of a truck or because I'd be more valuable to him on other, paying projects. He hired me to run the fab shop," Don recalls.
That experience would serve Don well when he was asked by Bill Thomas to hurriedly design and build an aluminum prototype that became the first Cheetah in late 1962. Interestingly, Don himself dismisses similarities "other than some shapes and the way shapes and curves come out of my mind. I was influenced by foreign cars whose front fenders were wider than the passenger area. I was on a 'lost-waist' kick [a term borrowed for the effect corsets had on women's figures—Ed.]. By the time we started the Cheetah project, I'd realized the Bearcage would've been a tank. It had Indy-roadster facets that shouldn't have been there. Technology had advanced to independent suspension."
After Stroppe cleaned house of unprofitable projects in a cost-cutting purge ("Bill was always in financial trouble," Don recalls), the exiled Bearcage went mysteriously underground for a time, was "sold for a song," according to American Road Race Specials author Allan Girdler, and resurfaced in the mid-'60s at Dean Moon's Santa Fe Springs digs. "Someone had done a lot of bodywork before it showed up at Moon's, maybe Don Borth or Bob Sorrell," guesses Don. "That's a mystery I'd like to see solved. I didn't have time to finish it that nice at Stroppe's." (Ironic twist: Moon Equipment Co. was where Dean's team assembled the very first Cobra for Carroll Shelby in 1962.)
Meanwhile, Don had ventured out on his own, ultimately designing and building more than 500(!) midgets, sprints, and Indy cars at his Autoresearch facility before retiring to the Oregon coast in 1982. Stroppe's relationship with Ford flourished with NASCAR, Indy car, Pikes Peak, and SCORE/NORRA (off-road) involvement. He died in 1995. After a shop fire prematurely ended Cheetah production (and consumed the wooden buck that Don Edmunds mourns to this day), Thomas pushed on to pronounced success with USAC, NASCAR, Pikes Peak, and drag racing, among other endeavors, before passing away in 2009. Only the Bearcage lives happily ever after. and

The unusual suspension was Don's vision of the next step in road-race evolution, influenced by then-current Kurtis and Kuzma sprint cars.Beefy torsion bars (employing leading and trailing arms) and center-mounted Watts links at the front and rear axles were designed to keep the axles horizontal and the tires vertical in an age of extreme body lean on notoriously lumpy tracks.Veteran Halibrand employee Bob Falcon recalls the sprint-car steering to be Halibrand, as were the wheels and quick-change rear with splined hubs and "bird cages."Unlike the forthcoming Cheetah fastbacks, Don Edmunds had conceived the Bearcage as a roadster. Larsen targeted a softer coupe record, however, and fashioned this serviceable top from aluminum. He respectfully incorporated Don's original main hoop when he fabbed the new rollcage. Note the grille, lights, and Corvette logo—a nod to the carbureted 454ci big-block Chevy installed for the planned record attempt.The whale tail, pushbar, and taillights differed dramatically from Don's vision of the backside, but the Bearcage was finally ready to roll under its own power. Alas, despite the lucky Sidewinders plaque (Denny is an original member), the car never set foot on the salt or any other track surface, due to lack of sponsorship. Larsen is an inveterate wheeler dealer and, discouraged by this turn of events, the Bearcage was sent to Bullhead City, Arizona, for storage at the home of his son, Greg.After Geoff Hacker finally persuaded Larsen to let the car go in 2009, he wasted no time flying west from Tampa. Reconnecting in Flagstaff with old friends Merrill and Gerianne Powell, Geoff borrowed their Chevy Suburban, rented a trailer, and arrived in Bullhead City to find the sun setting on the Bearcage. Before dark, the car was loaded and aimed for Florida.

The Final Home Game of 2008.
Last night had no shortage of memorable moments and team photographer Chirs Vleisides was there to capture it. Among the most special was Kila Ka'aihue's first Major League home run off Sox starter Gavin Floyd, complete with a curtain call made to a standing ovation from the almost capacity crowd.
The young slugger got a bit of a personal surprise with his September call-up, having to be added to the 40-man roster after hitting a combined 37 home runs in the minors this season. With 26 at Double-A Northwest Arkansas and another 11 in just a month at Triple-A Omaha, Ka'aihue had the fourth highest total in all levels of the minor leagues. He was named Texas League Player of
the Year, despite playing the final month of the season in the Pacific Coast League.
Ka'aihue was so dominant at Double-A he finished tied for the lead in home runs even though he played in 37 fewer games than his co-homer champ Arkansas' Corey Smith. His 80 walks fell three short of the leader who played in 136 games compared to Ka'aihue's 91 at Double-A. He coupled his high walk rate with a low strikeout rate. The Hawaiian struck out just 40 times in 287 at-bats in the Texas League. He had a .314 average and a .463 on-base percentage, neither of which qualified for the end of the season titles.
Alex Gordon also homered, his first one since coming off the Disabled List. Kyle Davies looked strong again, posting his second straight seven-plus inning start. He threw 15 scoreless innings, ending in the eighth last night. Joakim Soria tied Doug Bird for third on the Royals all-time career saves list, notching his 41st save of the season and 58th of his career. Only Jeff Montgomery and Dan Quisenberry have more saves in their Royals careers than Soria. David DeJesus delivered yet again in the clutch, going 1-for-1 with runners in scoring position. DeJesus' infield single moved the runner over who later scored. With the hit, DeJesus raised his RISP average to .413 – which leads the Majors and is percentage points more than Texas' Ian Kinsler.
DeJesus also hit his second career inside-the-park home run and the third for the Royals this season. An interesting note about the most exciting play in baseball, 77 of the team's 93 inside-the-park home run have come at home in spacious Kauffman Stadium – it really makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
Last night was also "Shirts Off Their Backs" Night, which was a solid success, raising nearly $20,000 for Operation Breakthrough. With 23,754 in the stands for the 5-2 win over the White Sox and tickets going for a dollar, the total raised was close to a dollar per fan.
Here's a picture of all of the winners on the field after the game with their new jerseys.
Today's lineup:
DeJesus LF
Aviles SS
Guillen DH
Shealy 1B
Teahen RF
Gordon 3B

After being on this board for over 2 years, I have read numerous threads about ISU and the financial situation we are in. Not everyone agrees with the steps we are taking, soo......
What can ISU do to raise money???
Finally you can be Athletic Director. What would you do?
Raising tickets and re-indexing the stadium has everyone mad.
Putting in luxury boxes has some people in an up-roar.
Having a game in KC hurts the Ames businesses and isn't a smart idea.
No large donors are stepping up..
Bellzisu is aka Chris Bellcock. Just so I'm not anonymous anymore.
Bake sale or a car wash
Sell cookie dough and frozen pizzas
Win some games? Sometimes an AD needs a little help.
Or he could start collecting cans during tailgating. The can man doesn't need all that money.
Black market organ sales, come on you only need one kidney to live.

Open a store at Trice that sells water,beer,ketchup,mustard,burger flippers,ice and everything else I forget on saturday's...I never forget the beer.
1. raise ticket prices and re-index-check
2. install more luxury boxes-check
3. push for more large donors-uncheck
4. continue to get more small money donors eager to donate-check
-this is going to be big in the long run as if we can get the younger crowd of alumni/fans to start donating small now, hopefully some of those (myself included) will be wealthy enough someday to be included in the large donor category and really help the program.
5. why not have a CF "sponsered" donation? get every member of this board to donate between $10-$100 every year, pool the money together and lump it into one nice gift for the athletic department every year. not sure how many members are on this board, but i would think if we could do that it would be a nice chunk of change every year.
I was thinking this was the next step...

Student fees
The way to bring in crowds is to schedule tough non-conference games, both basketball and football. SDSU, Kent and UNLV, I mean come on. Basketball is even worse! I get tired of spending gas money to drive to ames twice a week during snow storms to see ISU vs Arkansas Pine-Bluff and other such powerhouses in basketball. If football was opening the season with a BCS middle of the road team, tickets would be sold out. People would be willing to donate more and buy more season tickets. Last year.... highest season ticket sales ever. Why? UNI, IOWA, Texas and OU. Big games mean big crowds.
Instead of shipping FB games to Kansas City, make Jack Trice and Hilton more of destinations. Put a restaurant/bar each in Hilton and JT, open year-round for the public. Build ISU apparel and collectibles shops in one or both, open on a daily basis, like tons of other schools do. Call them "Cyclone Authentic" stores.

Microresistor Beam
Application ID: 366
This example illustrates the ability to couple thermal, electrical, and structural analysis in one model. This particular application moves a beam by passing a current through it; the current generates heat, and the temperature increase leads to displacement through thermal expansion. The model estimates how much current and increase in temperature are necessary to displace the beam. Although the model involves a rather simple 3D geometry and straightforward physics, it provides a good example of multiphysics modeling.

FAIRFAX, Va. (WUSA9) -- The man who murdered Falls Church college student Vanessa Pham was officially sentenced to 49 years behind bars today. Just before being sentenced, Julio Blanco Garcia apologized to his victim's family.
"I would like to say to Ms. Pham's family and friends, that I am deeply sorry for what I did. And that I hope, that I hope that my punishment will help them in their grieving process," said Blanco Garcia.
He stood in a dark green jail shirt and pants as he spoke those words, never looking at the Pham family or friends seated behind him.
Judge Jane Roush said, "I have given a lot consideration to this case and considered e jury's recommendation appropriate."
In the August trial, the jury watched a cell phone video of 19 year old Vanessa Pham talking to her mother.
At sentencing today, Chief Deputy Commonwealth Attorney Casey Lingan read from the mother's victim impact statement:
"Society has lost a beautiful, compassionate, ambitious young woman who would have lived a full life if it were not taken from her. My dreams of her finishing college, falling in love, getting married and giving me grandchildren has all been taken from me.... I have a tomestone where I go to visit Vanessa and all I can do is place fresh flowers and have a one-way conversation."
During the trial, the jury watched Blanco Garcia's video-taped police interview and confession of the killing. In it, Blanco Garcia said he was hallucinating and high on PCP. With his baby in his arms, he flagged down Pham and convinced her to drive him to the hospital. He said when she took a wrong turn, he freaked out, and fearing for his baby's life, he took out his knife and killed Pham. He stabbed her 13 times.
Prosecutors dispute the PCP defense and Blanco Garcia's story that Vanessa Pham took a wrong turn. Though there was no evidence of a intent to rape, prosecutors allege that is what he was trying to do and why Pham fought back.
"He used an innocent baby as a lure to get an innocent person who was extremely kindhearted and gentle, to get her defenses down, to help somebody who pretended to be in need. And then to murder her in such a brutal fashion, it's just horrific," said Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Morrogh.
Blanco Garcia's prison sentence won't be up until he's 76 years old.
Julio Blanco Garcia was found guilty murdering Vanessa Pham in Fairfax, Va. in August. Friday, he was sentenced to 49 years. The jury had recommended this sentence back in August.
Blanco Garcia murdered Pham on June 27, 2010 in a parking lot at a Falls Church shopping center. Authorities say Blanco Garcia approached Pham at a Falls Church shopping center with his infant daughter. Police had video of Blanco Garcia leaving the Great Wall of China store with his baby, yet that video was never released to the public until trial.
At the beginning of the sentencing, Blanco Garcia, who wore dark green jail attire, stared down at the desk in front of him, showing no emotion. A probation officer assigned to the pre-sentence report outline Blanco Garcia's criminal history, finding no juvenile records, gang affiliations or felonies. He said that Blanco Garcia had abused drugs for a decade and attempted to commit suicide twice.
According to the officer, incarceration changed Blanco Garcia's life for the better. He said Garcia has expressed remorse for Pham's death.
Blanco Garcia's defense attorney said the fact that he submitted fingerprints and didn't flee the area after the crime proves Blanco Garcia has a conscience. The defense attorney also claimed that Blanco Garcia sat emotionless because he understood the gravity of his actions.
Blanco Garcia is an undocumented immigrant from Guatemala. He is expected to serve his sentence in Virginia and may be eligigle for geriatric release before he turns 76.

Today's Home Building Trends
There is no doubt home building trends have changed throughout the years and continue to evolve. Today's home building trends are influenced by environmental factors, homeowner preferences, the availability of land and other factors. Some of today's building trends keep the comfort and lifestyle of the homebuyers in mind as well as call each of us to be more environmentally responsible. Check out these home building trends:
- Gathering spaces are open to one another allowing for easy interaction among family members and guests. For those with an eye on the golden years, open floor plans allow for easy mobility should you one day find yourself using a walker or wheelchair.
- Kitchens are becoming larger in size as most families consider the kitchen to be the hub of activity throughout the day.
- Master bedrooms and bathrooms have become larger and more spacious serving as a quiet retreat at the end of the day while offering homeowners a place to relax, refresh and pamper themselves.
- Plenty or organizational spaces are a must. Floor plans are including built-in shelving, display niches, abundant closet space, built-in desks, drop zones/lockers near the garage entry and convenient linen closets.
- Garages have grown in many cases to accommodate over-sized vehicles like trucks and SUVs while others use the extra space to provide a workbench or storage cabinets. Some garages are becoming environmentally-friendly offering a space for a charging station for electric vehicles or leaving room for a charging station in the future.
- Use of sustainable and environmentally-friendly building materials is becoming more common.
- Energy-saving and eco-friendly features such as low-flow toilets and energy efficient windows are gaining popularity and add vault to the home.
- Multi-generational living is trending upward and homeowners are finding a need to include a guest or in-law suite in the home or a mother-in-law cottage or garage apartment located behind or adjacent to the home. This allows aging relatives to continue to live in a home or somewhat independently with assistance nearby if necessary.
- Designers and builders are making an effort to take advantage of natural lighting by carefully positioning the home on the lot and the windows in the home to draw natural light inside, thus saving on lighting and energy bills.
- Home builders are making an effort to use less toxic materials and incorporate recycled materials when possible.
- Many builders are incorporating security systems including alarms and motion lighting around the perimeter of the home.
- Home designers are carefully arranging floor plans to have a narrow footprint especially in densely populated areas where land is precious.
- Floor plans often include large porches, screened porches, decks, patios, etc., for outdoor living and entertaining.
- Designers are including flexible spaces in their floor plans. For example, a full bath might be included in a den or office so the space can easily convert to a guest room with weekend visitors arrive. For those who only have occasional visitors, there is no need to have a designated guest room that is only used a couple times a year. In other cases, the flex space is meant to change and flex as your lifestyle changes. What might serve as a nursery when the kids are young can convert to a home office or hobby room as you move through the various phases of life.
