Locals enjoy Maple Syrup Fest
Submitted: 04/05/2014
Story By Shardaa Gray
- Most of us like to add syrup on our pancakes or waffles.
But have you ever wondered how it's made?
People in Phelps celebrated a tradition.
This was the third annual Phelps Maple Syrup Fest Saturday.
People traveled as far Milwaukee to come enjoy this event.
The chairperson of the festival says some local residents wanted to share the tradition of making syrup with the rest of the state.
"We go to local sugar bushes and we show people the art of making the maple syrup from a primitive manor up to a commercial state. So there's a variety of ways to do it. We go through the whole process of bottling it," said Maple Syrup Fest Chairperson, Renee Snook.
"We also give tree taping demonstrations. It's a nice hands on thing for the kids. We like to see them get involved."
They also had a maple syrup judging competition.
Some of our Newswatch 12 team participated in the judging.
The chairperson says they're working on some new ideas to make next year more unique.

The Rhinelander Fire Department responds to a few injuries every year from fireworks. That's far better than the national average of more than 10,000 fireworks-related injuries. But the most common injury actually comes from a firework many parents consider safe.

Plum Lake votes against ATVs on parts of roads bordering St. Germain
Submitted: 06/29/2016
Play Video
- St. Germain ATV riders will need to find a new route that avoids Plum Lake.
That's because the Plum Lake Town Board voted against opening up parts of two roads: Kurtzweil Road and Birch Spring Road. Both are on the border of Sayner and St. Germain and are shared between the two towns.
A few months ago, St. Germain asked Plum Lake to open parts of those roads as part of an ATV route. At first, the Plum Lake Town Board approved them. That was before they found out a section of Kurtzweil Road was completely in Plum Lake.
"At that time the Plum Lake Town Board by a 2 to 1 vote approved letting them use that, assuming at the time the two roads were boundary roads equally shared by Sayner and St. Germain," said Will Maines, the Plum Lake Town Chairman.
So when St. Germain came back to the next town meeting with an ordinance for the roads ready to go, the Plum Lake town board then voted no.
Maines said most of the people in Plum Lake don't want ATVs on their town roads. The board found this out from a survey of residents and taxpayers they sent out in 2015, where he said about two-thirds of non-resident property owners and about two-thirds of Plum Lake resident voters voted against allowing ATVs on town roads.
"We'd like to cooperate with the town of St. Germain, but we represent the people of Plum Lake, and they have given us the message loud and clear: they don't want us to allow them on any section of our roads," Maines said.
The St. Germain Town Chairman Tom Christensen said the decision is "disappointing," but, "it is what it is."
About 6 towns in the eastern part of Vilas County allow ATVs on town roads, but the towns in the western part of the county don't allow them on town roads.

London: As part of the election dirty tricks, an anti-Obama documentary that claims the President's mother once posed for pornographic photos wearing bondage gear is being sent to millions of voters in swing states.
The shocking claims made in the DVD have provoked fury among Democrats and are likely to trigger outrage in the White House.
'Dreams From My Real Father', made by a right-wing film-maker who is a long-time critic of Obama, includes images of a woman it claims is the President's mother Ann Dunham clad in leather gloves, boots and a corset posing seductively on a couch.
The film also alleges that Obama's real father is left wing poet and Communist party activist Frank Marshall Davis, and that Dunham's marriage was a 'sham' to cover this up.
The extraordinary claims, which have added a twist in the debunked 'birther' conspiracy which has raised questions over Obama's past, could have serious consequences as more than one million copies have been mailed to voters in Ohio, a key swing state where Mitt Romney is lagging in the polls.
Some 100,000 copies have also been sent to voters in Nevada and the same number to New Hampshire - with up to three million more still to come.
'Dreams From My Real Father' claims that the President's family history is an elaborate lie.
The real story is that his mother's marriage to Barack Obama Sr was a sham to cover up her affair with Davis, who Obama has referred to as his 'mentor'.
Davis supposedly photographed Dunham whilst she was pregnant with Obama and sold the photos to 1950s magazines with titles like 'Bizarre Life', 'Exotique', and 'Secret Pleasures'.
In one, the woman is posing wearing the corset, gaudy earrings and a large necklace with her hair cut short.
In another photo she sits on a couch staring into the camera and in the other she is putting on an elbow length black leather glove.
In a third she is reclining on the couch with her buttocks clearly visible and in others she is naked apart from a pair of high heels.
The narrator in the film is supposed to be the current US President.
"These photos were taken a few weeks before 1960, when mom was about five weeks pregnant with me," the Daily Mail quoted the narrator as saying.
"Frank then sold the photos to men's mail-order catalogues," he added.

Cloud application platform vendor Appcara announced a major new version of its AppStack application and portability platform, AppStack Release 3, that helps enterprises accelerate legacy applications into the cloud, and to enable service providers to offer a rich set of application services to their customers. With new capabilities for discovery and migration of legacy applications into the cloud, self-service publishing of third-party applications, and support for additional cloud environments including the HP Cloud and IBM PureFlex Systems, AppStack Release 3 provides a smooth on-ramp to the cloud that maximizes IT managers' time, knowledge and profitability from their cloud deployments. Appcara is showcasing AppStack Release 3 at Cloud Expo Silicon Valley starting today.
Deployment of complex, multi-tiered applications into the cloud still takes too much time and skills to implement, requiring deep technical knowledge of application stacks, and requires manual, error-prone effort to use. Appcara's AppStack Release 3 includes new legacy-to-cloud application migration capabilities that enable a broader class of enterprise applications to reap the agility benefits of cloud deployment – faster and more easily. Its powerful P2V (physical to virtual) utility provides point and click automation to the often-onerous task of automating the importing of applications into the cloud. With this capability, application developers can take legacy business applications running in traditional physical environments, and assure fast deployment, and fast time to market.
"Anything that makes it easier for customers to accelerate legacy-to-cloud migration and take advantage of our Layer 2 private connectivity and enterprise-class cloud services is highly valuable, both to AIS and to our many clients," said Tim Caulfield, CEO at AIS (American Internet Services). "AppStack Release 3 enables us to migrate customers' applications quickly and automatically from physical colocation servers to cloud-based virtual machines – a win-win for everyone."
With AppStack, developers are fully empowered to address the ongoing application lifecycle, with comprehensive discovery and migration capabilities that carry them from development to test, to deployment and to porting from one cloud environment to another. Because of its model-driven infrastructure, AppStack also allows developers to avoid the pitfalls of traditional approaches like server templates - which are too rigid to address the requirements of the enterprise and which burden the development team burdened with managing template & scripting environments by hand.
AppStack Release 3 offers several other key new features in addition to legacy-to-cloud migration:
- App Marketplace self-service publishing – to provide enterprise software developers with a ready onramp to monetizing their offerings as software as a service products, AppStack Release 3 includes a new self service portal where ISVs can publish applications – and consumers can create - new Workloads from both open source as well as commercial application components. The feature allows third-party legacy software publishers to avoid time-consuming manual procurement, installation and configuration cycles, and instead simply point and click their way to expanded revenue.
- New Cloud support: with AppStack Release 3, Appcara's solution now supports the HP Cloud and IBM SmartCloud and PureFlex Systems cloud environments. This adds to the already expansive support AppStack provides for running its software on the major platforms used to deploy into public and private clouds -including Amazon EC2, Rackspace Cloud, Citrix CloudStack, VMware vCloud, Eucalyptus, and CA Applogic cloud environments.
"We are supporting industry leading service provider customers, who are moving up the value stack by offering turnkey application services to their enterprise customers, including quick and simple deployment of both open-source and commercial applications. In addition, they see an enormous market in migration of legacy servers into the cloud. AppStack Release 3 is perfectly positioned to enable all of these capabilities on most service providers' cloud offerings," stated John Yung, CEO, Appcara.
AppStack Release 3 will ship in the next 30 days. Appcara is showcasing its latest version of AppStack at the Cloud Expo Silicon Valley, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in its booth #940, from today through Thursday November 8.
About Appcara
Appcara's vision is to enable the efficient application onramp for public and private clouds and portability across any clouds. The company was created by a group of cloud computing industry veterans in 2010 in Santa Clara, CA who previously built industry leading Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud computing services such as the Savvis Virtual Private Data Center (VPDC), the Sun cloud, as well as leading service provider infrastructures at companies such as Equinix. The company provides the AppStack cloud application lifecycle agility and portability platform. For more information visit www.appcara.com or @appcara

Extracting business value from Internet of Things (IoT) data doesn't happen overnight. There are several requirements that must be satisfied, including IoT device enablement, data analysis, real-time detection of complex events and automated orchestration of actions.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Answer from: Nickpick
Shoot the bottom switch first. It pushes the block down. Then shoot the top switch which will place the barrel on the block. Then shoot the barrel closest to you. Causes a chain reaction and kills them all.
Answer from: Taitai
Just like hit the bottom and the rest will move out of your way then you would hit the barrel and then when it blows up the zombies you are done

'Add-on' lets consumers buy small quantities of items normally sold in bulk.
Amazon.com Inc. on Monday launched what it calls an "Add-on Program" that lets consumers buy single-sized versions of products Amazon normally sells only in larger quantities.
For example, a consumer can add a single 9-ounce tin of Virginia peanuts to her order for $5.24, rather than buy a six-pack that Amazon sells for more than $30.
Amazon describes the program as a way to offer low-priced items for sale that would otherwise cost too much to ship on their own. The 32 items featured as part of the add-on program today are mostly in the food and personal care categories and none costs more than $6. Amazon says the add-on program includes thousands of low-priced items.
Consumers can buy one or more add-on items to help them reach the $25 threshold to get free shipping, Amazon says. Consumers who are members of Amazon Prime must spend at least $25 on an order that contains add-on items for those products to qualify for the two-day paid shipping program, meaning a Prime member can't buy one $5.09 hairbrush and expect for it to arrive in two days; still, the products can be shipped for free if the order meets that $25 threshold.
Products that Amazon considers add-ons are marked with a blue label that reads "Add-on Item" in search results. On product pages, the "add to cart" button is shown on a blue background that also says it is an add-on item. Consumers can buy add-on items only when their total order value, including add-on, is $25 or greater, Amazon says. If a consumer goes to checkout with an order that contains add-on items but is less than $25, Amazon indicates that the consumer can continue to shop to meet the price threshold or check out without the add-on items. Amazon will keep the add-on product in the "saved for later" section of the cart.

The present application claims priority to a British patent application, Application No. GB 0211415.5 filed on May 17, 2002.
This invention relates to an error correcting decoder, and in particular to a switch circuit for use in a decoder.
In a communications channel using a systematic forward error correction coding scheme, the data to be communicated, the source data, is encoded using a forward error correction encoder. The encoder 10 computes parity bits, which are transmitted together with the source data. The consequence of combining the parity bits with the source data bits is that only a small fraction of all possible binary sequences (of the combined length) are used for transmission. The binary sequences that are used are referred to as the "codewords".
One family of codes is Extended Hamming codes. In general terms, an Extended Hamming code can be summarised as a set of 2n−n−1 data bits (for some integer n) together with an n-bit parity code and a parity check bit.
In the encoder, there is assigned a unique n-bit code, the "position-id", to each bit position in a sequence of up to 2n bit positions (where n is a positive integer). Having received the set of 2n−n−1 data bits, the FEC encoder then forms an n-bit "parity code" by the process of SUMMING the n-bit position-ids for all bit positions for which the source data bit is a logic 1. In this respect, and throughout this document, the term SUM, and the "+" symbol, when used in reference to combining two multi-bit binary codes, means bit-wise EXOR of the constituent bits.
Also, the value of the 1-bit "parity check" is determined by whether there is an odd, or even, number of logic 1's in the source data sequence. Typically, although not necessarily, the parity check bit is 1 if there is an odd number of 1's, and otherwise is 0.
The source data and parity bits are transmitted by the transmitter 12 over the communications medium 14. The waveform which subsequently arrives at the receiver 16 is the transmitted waveform, but with distortions and attenuation caused by the medium, and with the addition of noise.
For each received bit, the quantizer 16 determines whether the transmitted binary value is more likely to have been a "1" or a "0".
The FEC decoder 18 performs Forward Error Correction decoding. This process may be summarised as i) identifying whether a received binary sequence is a codeword; and ii) for cases where the received binary sequence is not a codeword, because the distortions and noise introduced by the communications medium have caused one or more errors in the received binary sequence as compared with the transmitted codeword, finding the codeword which is most likely to have been transmitted.
The receiver 16 may use only hard decision (binary) quantization. That is, for each bit in the received waveform, the quantizer outputs one bit. Specifically, for each received bit, the quantizer determines whether the transmitted binary value is more likely to have been a "1" or a "0", and outputs a bit having the corresponding value.
Alternatively, the receiver may use soft decision quantization, namely quantization into more than two levels.
According to the present invention, there is provided a switching circuit, comprising a plurality of stages, each stage having a plurality of data inputs, a plurality of data outputs corresponding to respective data inputs, and a control input, each stage comprising a switch for directing input signals on all of the data inputs either to the corresponding data outputs or to respective alternative data outputs, depending on a value on the control input,
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a soft-decision Forward Error Correction decoder, comprising a switching circuit,
For a better understanding of the present invention, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the accompanying drawings.
The source data and parity bits are transmitted by a transmitter 22 over a communications path 24. The present invention is particularly applicable to situations where the communications path 24 is an optical fibre, which transmits optical signals at high data rates. However, the invention is applicable to use with any form of communications path.
The transmitted signal, with any distortions and attenuation caused by the communications path, and with the addition of noise, is received in a receiver 26, which includes a 4-level quantizer. That is, for each received bit, the receiver outputs a polarity bit "1" or "0", depending on whether the receiver determines that the transmitted bit is more likely to have been a "1" or a "0", plus a confidence bit, the value of which indicates a degree of confidence in the detected polarity.
It should be noted that the present invention is also applicable to use with a receiver which includes a quantizer with more quantization levels.
The receiver output is supplied to a FEC decoder 28, which performs Forward Error Correction decoding. As is conventional, this process may be summarised in general terms as i) identifying whether a received binary sequence is a codeword; and ii) for cases where the received binary sequence is not a codeword, because of one or more errors in the received binary sequence as compared with the transmitted codeword, finding the codeword which is most likely to have been transmitted.
In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, the FEC decoder 28 is an Extended Hamming Code decoder.
During soft-decision Extended Hamming Code decoding, as described in UK Patent Application No. 0208011.7 and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/132,953, when the occurrence of an even (and non-zero) number of errors is detected, the decoder is required to establish whether there exists a unique pair of received bits having "low confidence" and whose position-ids SUM to the syndrome.
Each of the inputs 511-518 to the first stage 50 defines a "position" in the circuit, which has a corresponding output 721-728 from the third stage 70, and
Each position swapping stage 50, 60, 70 is controlled by a single-bit input signal on a respective control input 81, 82, 83. Based on the input control signal, the position swapping stage will either pass the signals received on each of its inputs to the outputs corresponding to the same position-ids, or will perform position swapping and pass the signals received on each of its inputs to other outputs, as illustrated in FIG. 3.
The switching circuit can be formed from conventional electronic switches of any suitable type, depending on the data which is to be switched. For example, when the signals supplied to the inputs are single-bit binary signals, then simple binary switches are suitable. When the signals supplied to the inputs are multiple-bit binary signals, or analog signals, then suitable switches must be used.
In the illustrated embodiment, the first position swapping stage 50 performs position swapping between inputs whose position-ids differ in their most significant bit. The second stage 60 performs position swapping between inputs whose position-ids differ in their next most significant bit, and the third stage 70 performs position swapping between inputs whose position-ids differ in their least significant bit. However, in general, the position swapping stages can be connected in any sequence.
The single bit control signals on the inputs 81, 82, 83 can be regarded as the constituent bits of a control code.
For a switching circuit with inputs having n-bit position-ids, and with n position swapping stages controlled by the constituent bits of an n-bit code C (with each bit of C controlling the stage associated with the corresponding bit of the position-ids), and where, for each stage, a control bit with value "logic 0" causes the stage to route its inputs straight through to the outputs in the same positions, and "logic 1" causes position swapping, the input on the position with position-id Pi is routed through to the output on the position with position-id Pj=Pi+C, simultaneously for all possible values of position-id Pi.
For example, with control code input C, the input at position C is routed through to the output for position-id 0 (because C+C=0, using the notation mentioned above, where + refers to a bitwise EXOR operation). Thus, by applying the control code C to the control inputs, the switching network selects the input at position C for output at the position with position-id 0.
Put another way, the switching circuit presents together, in each position, the data associated with the pairs of inputs whose position-ids SUM to the control code. Thus, as another example, if we apply S as a control code to the control inputs, the value observed at output position P1 will be the value applied at input position P2, where P2=P1+S, and the value observed at output position P2 will be the value applied at input position P1. Also, since P2=P1+S, it follows that P1+P2=S. In general, the pair of input and output values observed at each position correspond to a pair of inputs whose position-ids SUM to S, all such pairs appearing twice.
Returning to
By a process similar to that used in the encoder, a "syndrome" is computed by SUMMING the position-ids of all bit positions where a logic 1 is received. When no transmission errors occur the syndrome will be zero. However, a property of Extended Hamming codes is that, when transmission errors do occur, the SUM of the position-ids of the bits in error is equal to syndrome.
As mentioned above, in the soft-decision decoding process described in UK Patent Application No. 0208011.7, when the occurrence of an even (and non-zero) number of errors is detected, the decoder is required to establish whether there exists a unique pair of received bits both having "low confidence" and whose position-ids SUM to the syndrome.
In other words, for the calculated n-bit syndrome, S, we need to establish whether there exists a unique pair of received bits, both having low confidence, and whose position-ids, P1 and P2, SUM to S.
If such a pair of bits exists, it also follows (from the definition of the SUM operation) that P1+S=P2, and that P2+S=P1. As mentioned above, the switching circuit can present together the data associated with all of the pairs of received bits whose position-ids SUM to the syndrome. In particular, by using the confidence information associated with the 2n bits of an Extended Hamming code as the data inputs, the switching circuit can identify whether there are any such pairs of bits, which SUM to the syndrome, and which both have low confidence.
For example, the receiver may have a four-level quantizer, providing a 1-bit "confidence" flag with each received bit, and where the flag has value "logic 1" for each bit where there is lower confidence in the recovered polarity.
For each code, the confidence flags associated with each received bit of the code, including the data bits, the parity code bits and the parity check bit, are applied to the inputs of the path switching circuit. At the same time, the calculated syndrome S is applied to the control inputs 81, 82, 83 of the switching circuit as a control code.
Then, as discussed above, if there exist any pairs of bits with low confidence, and whose position-ids SUM to the syndrome, logic 1's will appear at the inputs and outputs with those position-ids. Thus, these pairs of bits may be found by, for example, further circuitry (not shown) that includes a simple AND function of the input and output for each position. When both the input and the output, for a given position, have value "logic 1", then such a pair of received bits is identified.
In summary, to establish whether there exists a unique pair of inputs, with low confidence, and whose Hamming code position-ids SUM to Hamming syndrome S, we employ a switching circuit, as described above, as follows:
With multi-bit confidence values, a switching circuit as shown in
There is therefore described a switching circuit which allows identification of input signals with desired properties.

Fuji quality control strikes again! X100S Viewfinder...
May 13, 2013
While I have been loving my X100S since I received it a while back, I am sad to report that there is a very visible piece of lint or hair in the viewfinder. I have tried light tapping to get it to move, a blower, and even took a vacuum to the eyepiece, front glass, and diopter. Notta. I am familiar with this annoyance from my X100 days, so, whatever. I may send it in sometime, but in my experience, if it isn't right the first time, it will just happen again. What a shame.
If anyone has any suggestions as to a way to clear it out of there, I am all ears. If not, I'll live with it for now.

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."
