Aw man! I just read through pages of comments to see if someone beat me to it, and sure enough, another geek beat me to the punchline. As we all engaged in one-upmanship (or one-downmanship?) all I could think of was
"A BEAD abacus?"
"Ha! You were lucky.
"There we were, an entire scientific community, huddled around a single piece of string running through a line of stale popcorn, which we had to carefully slide along one by one lest they crumble and fall apart."
"Hm... plain old string, you say? You were lucky...."

The second conversation is more typical of mine.

My first job had me lugging a box ( or ten ) of punch cards up to big blinky to process. Picked up the print out the next day. If you ever dropped the box, there went a day or two of work.
Yep, had to learn the slipstick in school back in my day.
And you just gave me a serious punch card flashback (shudder), now I'll have nightmares for a week about endless loops...lol.

grenade01 wrote:3mb a sec is slow to me, my current thumb drive gets over double this. I use it mostly to transfer movies to my downstairs mediabox so 6gb at a time that would crawl for my uses. I'll just stick to my 16gb and do two movies at a time when I want them downstairs.
Transferring 10x 6GB movies:
* Even at 10 MB/s [you said over, not how far over], it would take about 20 minutes to copy two files to your drive. Then take out the USB stick, go downstairs to the other device, wait another 20 minutes for the files to copy to that machine. Then take it out again and repeat five times, or
* transfer all 10 movies at 3MB/s, about 5.5 hours and then another 5.5 hours downstairs.
The former means that you are going back and forth, pretty much working on it constantly for over three hours. The latter can be done in two batches. Set it up to copy and run over night and then do the second transfer in the same way in the morning.
Even though it is taking a lot longer, it is also requiring a lot less of your personal time.

Holy crap, great find! Thanks, smerfj! I don't know if this is the exact model my Dad used to bring home, but it's way closer than anything else I've seen.
Altazi wrote:Be cautious. Just saying "USB 2.0" doesn't specify the speed. The manufacturer says "USB 2.0 standard speed," which is not technically a proper speed callout. USB 2.0 supports high speed (480 Mbps), full speed (12 Mbps), and low speed (1.5 Mbps). The manufacturer gives this drive's read & write speeds as 3 MB/s. At 3 MB/s it will take about six HOURS to completely transfer 64 GB of data.
So less than an hour per 10 gigs? That's not really that bad. I mean, it's not good but the purpose of this stick is large portable storage. Doesn't get much more portable than a data stick and 64 gigs is great. Especially for $50.
For those who want an alternative, NewEgg very recently had a name brand 32gb USB 3.0 memory thingie for $39. I don't know the read/write speed of the memory but USB 3.0 should help with transfer. Do a search on NewEgg if you're interested.

My first couple computers didn't support Hard Drives. The first one I had that could support a Hard Drive I spent $600.00 to upgrade, and about all weekend, and a case of beer, to finally add a huge 10mb drive.
I think that was the same weekend that the dinosaurs became extinct.
sdc100 wrote:Then you may have been familiar with ELIZA, the computer therapist. ELIZA and Zork got me through many lonely Saturday nights...
Ha! Absolutely. I thought ELIZA was brilliant, though obviously very limited. I remember being impressed at its halfway-decent ability to recognize syntax, subject/object, and wondered what such a program would be like in the future. What's the ELIZA of today? There must be one.
It was more satisfying to me than Zork, because I could never figure my way past the whole dam area, and would frequently get flummoxed by the program's lack of vocabulary (and/or my inability to guess the right words), earning me the annoying "I don't understand" (and whatever other "huh?" responses it might have had) x infinity.
Still, I've always regarded Zork and Rogue as being the godfathers of just about every computer RPG, adventure game (and various others to an extent) ever released in their wake. (And no Rogue w/o ye olde tabletop Dungeons & Dragons, of course!) I could go on, as endlessly as Eliza....

My first computer had no hard drive, only one 5 1/4 floppy and 128K ram. For people who complain windows still loads to slow try loading your operating system off of a floppy drive every time you turn on your computer.
Precisely what I was thinking! And 64 K of RAM. K! Not MB, K! Although I don't feel particularly old because of it.

For copying smaller files or small amounts of data, they work find. If there is a larger file, like about 1GB size, then they have all sorts of problems. Mostly, the copied file is corrupted.
I don't trust the Centon DataStick Pro 32GB with any really important files.
I have found this true for all thumb drives. However, I find if I reformat the drive using NTFS instead of FAT32 format, large files are transferred with no problems.
I'll throw my $.02 into the pile
My first computer was a Commodore 64 that I won at a raffle at school. It had an external hard drive, which I had to purchase separately for about $150 in 1984 dollars. Of course, they were ALL external drives. My word processing program was from C64 magazine. They had programs each month which you could key in (in hex) or get the $40 upgrade to the subscription which included the disk - way too much money for me in my college days. So I typed in about 10,000 lines of hex code.
To run the programs, you had to load them from the disk into memory, then execute. I don't think I could have even imagined Windows7 back then.
You young-uns are making me feel ancient: I remember when I added a 20Mb hdd to my *second* computer (which came with floppy drives only.)
I had a VIC-20 with 1 MHz 8-bit processor and 5K of memory. A real screamer.
I had one of those. A Tandy/Radio Shack 64K TRS-80 Color Computer II . It used three methods of storage/input.
1. Magnetic audio tape
2. Cartridges
3. Floppy Disk Drives (way back when they were actually floppy and 5 1/4 inches)
It had no hard drive and possessed a meager 64 KB of memory. It did not have a dedicated monitor. Instead you connected it to your television set.
I loved it back then. Of course, looking back I wonder how I ever got anything done with that thing. I was writing a report once, and as the memory filled up it merely deleted older text to allow room for the new text.
I didn't give up my typewriter until I got a Mac SE/30. But I had to pay a huge fee to add 4 megs of RAM to upgrade from the existing 1 MB that it came with out of the factory.
(I feel so old now. Where is my AARP pillow so I can weep quietly?)
I lose these too fast to buy one
Do you have any waterproof laptops coming up use it with?

I only use thumb drives as temporary storage as I am in production on various shows and using a thumb drive is perfect for getting an updated script or graphics deck. If the info is on my thumb drive for more than three days, that is alot and it never approaches 64 gigs! Everything that I have read about thumb drives says you should never think of them as long term storage. Aside from never needing anything this large, the reviews on this would never convince me this is a good idea.
I believe that your analysis is the the bottom line on this product. Portable, reliable, and fast storage is what technology needs to deliver to the consumer, but instead a product like this is produced to be bought by consumers who have not really thought through whether it is even useful for their application. What good is 64 GB when you can't even access it? Technology can be kewl and useful, but I hate to say that most of the time, implementation falls way short which leads to disappointment and frustration, wasted money, and impedes productivity instead of making our lives more productive - a little pet peeve of mine.
What is the size of this drive... not capacity but dimensions of the device?
I have the 32 GB version of this drive and it works great. The cap is really nice too, highly recommend this.

In my case it would probably be the KID who wished the contents of my pockets were waterproof as he painfully watches me empty the contents piece by piece as he sinks inch by inch.
Oh my... I guess I am OLD!
My first computer was a stick and a patch of sand. Then I upgraded to a pencil and paper. The slide rule really was a leap in tech and then came along my Sinclair ZX1000. 1K yes K of RAM and a 300 baud cassette interface for storage. I upgraded the RAM to 64K and wrote a 4Kbaud cassette interface stayed in NVRam that I added as part of the 64K upgrade. Fast forward, now it's i7 Macs and PCs, Clusters UNIX, Linux, that virus called Windows and OSX. Even Cyber's, Cray's and IBM Big Iron. (Yeah I am a geek)

McTeague HTML version
On that particular morning the McTeagues had risen a half hour earlier than
usual and taken a hurried breakfast in the kitchen on the deal table with its
oilcloth cover. Trina was house-cleaning that week and had a presentiment of a
hard day's work ahead of her, while McTeague remembered a seven o'clock
appointment with a little German shoemaker.
At about eight o'clock, when the dentist had been in his office for over an hour,
Trina descended upon the bedroom, a towel about her head and the roller-
sweeper in her hand. She covered the bureau and sewing machine with sheets,
and unhooked the chenille portieres between the bedroom and the sitting-room.
As she was tying the Nottingham lace curtains at the window into great knots,
she saw old Miss Baker on the opposite sidewalk in the street below, and raising
the sash called down to her.
"Oh, it's you, Mrs. McTeague," cried the retired dressmaker, facing about, her
head in the air. Then a long conversation was begun, Trina, her arms folded
under her breast, her elbows resting on the window ledge, willing to be idle for a
moment; old Miss Baker, her market-basket on her arm, her hands wrapped in
the ends of her worsted shawl against the cold of the early morning. They
exchanged phrases, calling to each other from window to curb, their breath
coming from their lips in faint puffs of vapor, their voices shrill, and raised to
dominate the clamor of the waking street. The newsboys had made their
appearance on the street, together with the day laborers. The cable cars had
begun to fill up; all along the street could be seen the shopkeepers taking down
their shutters; some were still breakfasting. Now and then a waiter from one of
the cheap restaurants crossed from one sidewalk to another, balancing on one
palm a tray covered with a napkin.
"Aren't you out pretty early this morning, Miss Baker?" called Trina.
"No, no," answered the other. "I'm always up at half-past six, but I don't always
get out so soon. I wanted to get a nice head of cabbage and some lentils for a
soup, and if you don't go to market early, the restaurants get all the best."
"And you've been to market already, Miss Baker?"
"Oh, my, yes; and I got a fish—a sole—see." She drew the sole in question from
her basket.
"Oh, the lovely sole!" exclaimed Trina.

Deciding to apply for a fellowship is an important first step in pursuing your future. However, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the number of available awards and the application processes associated with them. Here are a series of steps to help you identify suitable fellowships and prepare strong applications.
Research Multiple Grants
Many exciting opportunities wait out there for you. While you may have one specific award in mind, explore other options. Remember that there are multiple ways to achieve your desired academic and professional goals. If there are similar grants available, consider applying to those as well.
Applying for a fellowship requires a certain amount of reflection on the personal and academic journey that has brought you to this opportunity. Be honest with yourself. Do you satisfy the requirements for eligibility? Are there other awards that may be a better fit for your strengths? Are you willing, in some cases, to live overseas for a year or more? Thinking over these questions before you begin the application process will help you to decide which awards warrant your time and energy.
Writing the Application
Start the application early! An early start will give you the time to prepare a well-written personal statement and, if relevant, a strong proposal. You will also need sufficient time to collect any required documentation (transcripts, letters of recommendation, sponsorships, etc.).
Many applications you will encounter are done online. Make sure that you treat this part of the application process with as much consideration and care as your personal statement. Careless mistakes on your general application can be as costly as a poorly written essay.
Writing the Proposal
No matter the subject, make sure that your proposal's content and style are accessible to the common reader. Avoid specialized language, as a non-specialist may review your proposal.
It cannot be stated enough: rewrite. The more drafts you produce, the better your ideas will be articulated. Show your drafts to friends, faculty, and Fellowship Advisor.
Writing the Personal Statement
Some applications may ask for a personal statement. A personal statement is more than an autobiography. It must be able to demonstrate how your personal and academic journey has led you to that particular fellowship. Make sure you can link your accomplishments and strengths to its core values and mission statement.
Securing Letters of Recommendation
Identify professors, mentors, and/or past employers who know you best and ask them to write recommendation letters early in the application process. Discuss the fellowship or scholarship with them and provide relevant information from your resume or C.V. for them to use in their letters. Explain to your recommenders why and how that particular award fits your credentials. Don't be afraid to remind them about the letter as the deadline approaches. Faculty and staff members will appreciate the gentle reminder!
Acing the Interview
Interviews allow selection committees to match your personality with your application. These committees want to know if your personal characteristics will contribute to the likelihood of your success as a fellow. Furthermore, they will want you to elaborate on your proposal and personal statement, as well as address any potential obstacles that your project might encounter.
Successful interviewing depends on your ability to present yourself and your application in a natural manner. There are many things you can do to prepare. First, we can set up mock interviews with your Fellowship Advisor in order to practice responses to questions that interviewers may ask you. Make sure that you also have a thorough understanding of the fellowship's core mission before the interview. Give your proposal an honest appraisal in order to determine what potential obstacles you may encounter. As always, do not underestimate the importance of a good night's sleep and proper breakfast before your interview!

Flu Season To Soon Hit Its Peak
The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene an nounced that the demand for flu vaccinations might outpace the supply. Com missioner Thomas R. Frieden urged New Yorkers, especially those over age 50 to get a flu shot early. Free or low-cost flu shots are available at Health Department clinics and at Health and Hospital Corporation's facilities citywide. Flu season generally runs from October to April.
"Only this year's flu shot can prevent against this year's flu," said Com missioner Frieden. "Even if you've had one in previous years, you need to get a flu shot this year."
High risk groups for influenza in clude: residents of nursing homes, preg nant women in their second and third trimesters, young children and people with long term health problems such as diabetes, lung disease, asthma and heart disease, kidney disease, sickle cell anemia.
People who have had a serious reaction to previous flu shots or anyone with a severe allergy to eggs should not receive the flu shot.
For more information about flu and pneumonia vaccinations please visit www.nyc.gov/health/flu or call the city's help line at 311.

Chapter 5
|1To the conductor, on nehiloth, a song of David.
|אלַמְנַצֵּחַ אֶל הַנְּחִילוֹת מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד:
|on nehiloth: Menachem interpreted all of them: nehiloth, alamoth, gittith, jeduthun, that they are all names of musical instruments, and the melody of the psalm was according to the melody fit for that instrument. However, [in the] Midrash Aggadah (Mid. Ps. 5:1, 2,4) some explain "nehiloth" as an expression of heritage, but that is not the meaning of the word; moreover, the contents of the psalm do not deal with heritage. It is, however, possible to interpret נחלות as troops, like "a swarm (נחיל) of bees," (Bava Kamma 114a, 81b), and like (II Sam. 22:5), "Bands (נחלי) of scoundrels would affright me," which Jonathan renders: Bands (סיען) of sinners. [This is] a prayer concerning the bands of the enemies that come upon Israel, and the Psalmist recited this psalm on behalf of all Israel.
|2Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my meditation.
|באֲמָרַי הַאֲזִינָה | יְהֹוָה בִּינָה הֲגִיגִי:
|Give ear to my words, O Lord: when I have strength to ask before You and, when I have no strength to pray before You and the worry is confined to my heart…
|consider my meditation: Heb. בינה. Consider the meditation of my heart. So it is explained in Midrash [Psalms 5:6]: In every [instance of] בינה in Scripture, the accent is under the "nun," except this one and its fellow (in Job 34: 16): "And if you wish, understand (בִּנָה) , hearken to this," which is not a noun but an expression of "understand," like (Prov. 23: 1): "you should understand well (בין תבין) who is in front of you." Therefore, the accent is under the "beth."
|3Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for I will pray to You.
|גהַקְשִׁיבָה לְקוֹל שַׁוְעִי מַלְכִּי וֵאלֹהָי כִּי אֵלֶיךָ אֶתְפַּלָּל:
|4O Lord, in the morning You shall hearken to my voice; in the morning I shall arrange [my prayer] to You, and I shall look forward.
|דיְהֹוָה בֹּקֶר תִּשְׁמַע קוֹלִי בֹּקֶר אֶעֱרָךְ לְךָ וַאֲצַפֶּה:
|in the morning You shall hearken to my voice: In the morning, I call out to You about them, because it is a time of judgment for the wicked, as it is stated (below 101:8): "Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land" ; (Isa: 33:2), "Be their arm every morning" ; (ibid. 28:19), "for every morning it shall pass."
|in the morning I shall arrange to You: my prayer concerning this. [The word]: אערך is an expression of arrangement (מערכה). Menachem (p. 138) classifies it in this manner.
|and I shall look forward: that You execute justice upon them.
|5For You are not a God Who desires wickedness; evil does not abide with You.
|הכִּי | לֹא אֵל חָפֵץ רֶשַׁע | אָתָּה לֹא יְגֻרְךָ רָע:
|For You are not a God Who desires wickedness: Therefore, I arrange my prayer to You in the morning (appears only in certain editions) and it befits You to destroy wickedness from the world.
|evil does not abide with You: Heb. יגרך, it will not abide beside You.
|6Confused people shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all workers of iniquity.
|ולֹא יִתְיַצְּבוּ הוֹלְלִים לְנֶגֶד עֵינֶיךָ שָֹנֵאתָ כָּל פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן:
|Confused people: who make themselves man, and in the language of the Mishnah, מערבבין, confused.
|7You destroy speakers of lies; the Lord abhors a man of blood and deceit.
|זתְּאַבֵּד דֹּבְרֵי כָזָב אִישׁ דָּמִים וּמִרְמָה יְתָעֵב | יְהֹוָה:
|a man of blood and deceit: This [refers to] Esau and his descendants.
|8But I, with Your great loving-kindness, shall enter Your House; I shall prostrate myself toward Your Holy Temple in the fear of You.
|חוַאֲנִי בְּרֹב חַסְדְּךָ אָבוֹא בֵיתֶךָ אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל הֵיכַל קָדְשְׁךָ בְּיִרְאָתֶךָ:
|I… shall enter Your House: to thank You for Your great loving-kindness that You have wondrously bestowed upon us, to grant us revenge upon them.
|9O Lord, lead me in Your righteousness; because of those who lie in wait for me, make Your way straight before me.
|טיְהֹוָה | נְחֵנִי בְצִדְקָתֶךָ לְמַעַן שׁוֹרְרָי הַיְשַׁר (כתיב הַוְשַׁר) לְפָנַי דַּרְכֶּךָ:
|those who lie in wait for me: Heb. שוררי, those who look after me, who look forward to my betraying You, so that You should forsake me. [The word] שוררי is like (Num. 24:17): "I behold it (אשורינו), but it is not near."
|10For there is no sincerity in his mouth; there is malice in their heart; their throat is an open grave; they make their tongue smooth.
|יכִּי אֵין בְּפִיהוּ נְכוֹנָה קִרְבָּם הַוּוֹת קֶבֶר פָּתוּחַ גְּרוֹנָם לְשׁוֹנָם יַחֲלִיקוּן:
|For there is no sincerity in his mouth: They appear as friends but they are enemies.
|there is malice in their heart: Their thoughts are deceitful.
|their throat is an open grave: to swallow others' toil, like a grave that swallows up the body.
|they make their tongue smooth: with words of flattery.
|11Condemn them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them down in the multitude of their transgressions for they have rebelled against You.
|יאהַאֲשִׁימֵם | אֱלֹהִים יִפְּלוּ מִמֹּעֲצוֹתֵיהֶם בְּרֹב פִּשְׁעֵיהֶם הַדִּיחֵמוֹ כִּי מָרוּ בָךְ:
|by their own counsels: which they formulate against Israel. Then all who take shelter in You shall rejoice.
|12And let all who take refuge in You rejoice; may they ever shout for joy, and You shall shelter them, and let all who love Your name exult in You.
|יבוְיִשְׂמְחוּ כָל חוֹסֵי בָךְ לְעוֹלָם יְרַנֵּנוּ וְתָסֵךְ עָלֵימוֹ וְיַעְלְצוּ בְךָ אֹהֲבֵי שְׁמֶךָ:
|and You shall shelter them: You shall shield and shelter them.
|exult in You: when they see that You bless the righteous man, Jacob, and his seed.
|13For You, O Lord, shall bless the righteous; You shall encompass him with will like a shield.
|יגכִּי אַתָּה תְּבָרֵךְ צַדִּיק יְהֹוָה כַּצִּנָּה רָצוֹן תַּעְטְרֶנּוּ:
|like a shield: which encompasses a man from three sides.
|will: satisfaction, apayement in Old French; appeasement, kindness, peace of heart.
|You shall encompass him: תעטרנו, You shall encompass him (in Sam. 23: 26): "but Saul and his men were encircling (עוטרים) David and his men."

Hi Everyone,
Below is a very simple system that I use both manually and also via an EA that I have written on a live account. It's easy to setup and doesn't require you to be sitting at the computer screen all day, only check it every few hours if doing it manually.
100EMA applied to close
Time Frame
1 hour chart
Currency Pair
Entry Conditions
Enter a buy position when the current price is above the 100EMA and the previous low is above the 100EMA.
Enter a sell position when the current price is below the 100EMA and the previous high is below the 100EMA.
Take Profit and Stop Loss
Set take profit at 100 pips
Set the stop loss at the current 100EMA value and keep moving the SL to the current 100EMA value each hour.
The open position and stop loss do tend to get wider as the trend gets stronger but the price and 100EMA SL will close in on each other minimizing the loss if the trade goes sour.
When it is a side ways trend you can either sit out and wait, or if like me and you use an EA you can take a small number of very small losses (this is because the 100ema keeps moving in on the price) and then you get the long trends.
I have had trades opens for a few days in profit and as long as you keep moving the SL to match your 100EMA you will profit nicely.
In regards to the 100 take profit, it gets hit alot but you also make alot of pips if the the price never reaches the TP, as it comes back to hit the SL that has been moving with the price.
And that's it..... feel free to leave comments and suggestions.

Director of Education
Instructor of Polarity Therapy, Shiatsu, Introduction to Chinese Medicine, Introduction to Cranial Sacral Therapy
Don introduces himself
How Don Found New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics
I graduated from NMSNT in the summer of 1979. I began studying at NMSNT a few months after receiving a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. During my internship in psychology, I became tuned into energy and shortly thereafter began studying Polarity Therapy, with Pierre Pannetier, the successor to Dr. Stone (who was the founder of Polarity Therapy). I found that energy work was more effective than verbal psychotherapy, so I came to NMSNT to learn more. Not too long after graduating from NMSNT, I began studying Chinese Medicine and received a D.O.M. (Doctor of Oriental Medicine) in 1989. I have found Oriental Medicine to be a huge source of inspiration, information and skills and have studied Acupuncture, Acupressure, Colorpuncture and Qi Gong. I have also studied other subtle bodywork forms, such as Cranial-Sacral techniques.
My approach to bodywork is to connect with the client, sense and assess their energy through the various techniques I have been trained in and, especially, to listen to my intuition as it guides me into different styles and locations of touch, as well as helps me choose what words to say and what tones of voice to use. I find doing energy work on people to be similar to working with horses, listening to them, responding to them and moving with them in a way that is not threatening, that does not cause them to close, protect or run away. To connect with a person's energy field is more primal and deeper than to connect with their intellect. Energy allows people to be communicated with and to communicate with their own deeper levels in a more profound and accurate way. It helps them to sense themselves and to let go of patterns, emotions and beliefs that are no longer serving them.
The teaching that I do at NMSNT is a reflection of my core beliefs and deeper experiences as a therapist. I teach energy therapy, such as Chinese Medicine techniques and theory. I teach Acupressure, Windows of the Sky (special points that can shift consciousness), Medical Qi Gong and Cranial-Sacral Therapy. Helping students tune into feeling their own energy and the energy of their clients is a profound experience for me. To truly and therapeutically sense energy requires relaxing into an appreciation, acceptance and even a deep love for the client and for oneself. This encompassing love is healing and altering beyond words. This experience can be truly life- changing.
NMSNT is a unique place to learn the healing arts. The teachers are talented, experienced and compassionate in their assistance with each student who comes. We work to develop an atmosphere between the students and staff that helps each person to explore their sensing and their development of abilities to assist clients and themselves to alter their bodies, their emotions and energies. NMSNT stands alone in offering a special blend of therapies that harmonize with each other and which, when blended together, are more powerful than any one or two by themselves. The main reason that NMSNT is a powerful place to learn is that we offer to students the ability to open their hearts and to be open to the hearts of others. To quote Paracelsus again, "The art of medicine has its roots in the heart."

Sprawling, Leisurely hangout on Nungambakkam Hg Rd
On the 1st Floor, Ispahani Centre, Nungambakkam High Road with views facing the road as well as the side by lane, its probably the most vantage, sprawling and leisurely cafe hang out on Nungambakkam High Road.
Its a fairly big place and you can hang out - they don't hurry you or shoo you (even if you are a big gang and have been around more than a while :)
Ambience is good. Service is good - though, when it is full, you gotta push thru a bit to get your service. Their service is quite intelligent - for example, when they saw, once, that my entourage had seniors and we had forgotten (in all the banter the group was engaging in, to tell them sugar preferences) they were thoughtful to come back (after taking the order) and reconfirm how many sugar-free coffees :)
Price is moderate (not expensive). I am not saying value for money because I am not too impressed with their range. I don't get specialty hot chocolate & other discerning stuff. But, yes, very good samosas and cappucino.
A snack+drink outing for two could easily be done within Rs.400/- with oodles of leisurely hang out time with a view of the busy Nungambakkam High Road (that sure is premium :)

Lovely place and coffee!
Visited this outlet after quite some time. This is a pretty big CCD. The sofa sets against the walls are really comfortable and my go to place whenever I visit.
Ordered a tex mex sandwich and a devils own.
The sandwich was good. The filling tasted good.
However, the best part was the Devil's Own. Thick cold coffee with chocolate sauce, whipped cream and a scoop of ice cream. Divine. Just writing it i can feel Im putting on some pounds! ;)
It is definitely a must have.
The service is prompt. They dont bother you once you place an order for a long long time!
Easily a 5/5.

Cafe to hangout
A cafe with a difference that's how I would describe this place. Spacious friendly bright nice ambience. Being in a very upmarket complex next to a happening college it's always near full. It can be noisy to people who want to have serious talks. The menu is quite good. The service is quick and pleasant. Rightly priced for the place. One of my all time favourites for a friendly meet.

Nice place to unwind...
Okay... so till the last time we went to CCD, we never knew we were transparent. Every time we wanted to place an order, we had to wave frantically at the waiters like a couple of friends spotting each other in a huge crowd.
After managing to earn their attention, it took another fifteen to twenty minutes for them to tend to our orders. And finally, the food arrived. Pretty good in taste and quality. A nice place where you can hang out with your friends, retire on the comfortable couches and chat your way endlessly. And then again, we had to wave desperately for their attention to pay our bills.
Removing the very few flaws, it's actually a great place to unwind. Really nice stuffs in their menu.. just that it takes ages to see them on your table!

A niceplace to hang out- Cafe Coffee Day (N'bakm)
Cafe Coffee Day
Ispahani Centre 123/124,
Nungambakam high road
Chennai- 34
I am a big coffee fan. Especially if its brewed well, given in exotic flavors, experienced with some classy pieces of exotic beats and mellifluous rhythms and not the regular dhinckchak that is inflicted on anything with ear drums, and , with very comfortable couches. Oh, and but course, waiters who dont try to telepathically induce me into paying my bill, by using the -eyeball her until she gets the idea and stops warming our couches- technique, also helps. A lot.
Café Coffee Day Nungambakkam (CCD- N) gave me that.
I was meeting a friend after a year and chose CCD- N given its strategic location- not too far away from......err...anywhere! Its located right opposite St. Teresas Church, and Landmark Nungambakkam, and is in the first floor of Ispahani Centre. Very easy to spot from the road.
Now I am not sure how CCD in any other city works, but in Chennai, one thing is for so sure, that it is almost miraculous- whatever it is that you first fancy and ask for, will be met with a sheepish -That is not available- look. I mean, Every Single Time. So when I wanted to go healthy and asked for one of their strawberry flavored Iced Teas (Strawbrrrry), I got the scratch on the head. Their head, not mine, (and it was just 4 PM) Undaunted (as I was prepared for it anyway), I settled for the Mochachillo while my friend chose the regular Café Latte. Was delivered to us, in about twenty minutes.
I was not disappointed. Devoid of their suggestions of cream and ice cream, my Mochachillo was a lovely, light, coffe-ish, chocolate-ish icy drink. I enjoyed it! Going by my friends shrug of shoulders, I would assume that a regular Café Latte was just that, regular. By this time, we were introduced to their coffee scented candles and biscuit assortments, which if not for their exorbitant prices (150/- (for 10 tea lights) and 225/- for the biscuits) I would have probably thought of buying.
Now, when two girls meet after ages, one round of coffee does not suffice. Neither does sitting across each other in slightly smaller than average, straight backed chairs (making me feel like a female Hagrid) just cut it. So the moment a gang emptied their couch, my friend and I, literally jumped out of our seats and got comfy on the couches. I mean, comfy. Real comfy. So comfy that my friend almost snoozed. That comfy.
We were seated by the couches facing the road, so we had a visual treat, with the evening sun washing us up with its remnant sunshine, followed by a torrent of rain. Its the most beautiful thing ever. Raining outside, warm and cozy inside, a Mochachillo just half drunk (with the promise of more) and the smell of freshly brewed coffee.
After about an hour, and ages after we had finished our respective drinks, we ordered another round. My friend ordered a Black Forest Cake, while I, encouraged by Mr. Mochachillo, ordered a Cold Sparkle. But this time, we were disappointed. The cold sparkle was dilute (very little coconutty taste, or for that matter even coffee), while the cake was...... (being nice to it).....stale.
We did not enjoy our second round as much as our first, in fact, not at all. But we did get a lot of talking and giggling done.
In our several hours there, we never felt awkward, or intimidated for even a moment, we could just be our girly selves and enjoy the evening, sans any disturbances. The waiters were alert, and all it took me was a glimpse their way, for them to get their pens and papers ready to take my order down. They were professional and laid back, subconsciously encouraging us to be so. They had smiles on their faces (albeit it was to each other), but a happy bunch of waiters is a nice thing to see.
CCD- Chennai in general could do better to please have what they print they do. Had I been a new comer to Chennai or CCD, I would have given them the benefit of doubt for having caught them exactly on the day and time when they ran out of strawberry tonic and iced tea (hey, they are a coffee house, anyway). But Ive been visiting CCD- Roundtana, Nungambakkam and more recently Thirumangalam for almost seven years now, and some things like -having what you say you have on the menu card, and quicker service- would be the perfect things to add to their To Do list of perking the place up.
Oh, and thanks for letting us have a place to hang out without having to burn a hole through our pockets. The three drinks and the cake amounted to Rs.210.0. Add to the eats and drinks, a few hours of some cool hang out time, and we did really come out with a bargain.

Heavy on pocket, not much on food
The main reasons our gang meets at CCDs is the availability of privacy, ambience, food on demand, and nobody throws you out!!
CCDs give that extra comfort over normal restaurants where they knock you off the table once ur bill arrives.
But CCD at Ispahani is quite different compared to all others - for starters, it must be the most busy of all outlets in chennai, loads of college guys come here. Saturdays and Sundays are packed!!
1. Service - half the time we hear of sandwiches/ cold coffees not being available.
2. Too few staff compared to the traffic that hits this outlet.
3. Orders are slow - cos of Point No.2
4. If you like to look around - scan the place for girls, this is not a bad joint actually, but be careful if they come with their boyfriends :)
5. Be choosey on what you order, some of the cold coffees are not that good.
6. Sizzling brownie is the best thing on the menu, but this outlet might very well sell it at the max cost - around 100 bucks or so!!
Not my cuppa tea (or coffee), but we hang out there anyway!!

You don't need a menu
This branch of CCD does not need a menu. Because they already have waiters who can scratch their sheepishly and say "Sorry saar, (insert menu item) not available" for pretty much anything on the menu. I have never managed to order anything in less than 3-4 attempts. Eventually, they only end up having the veg puffs in any case. So for you guys out there, save yourselves some neural choice-making activity and go straight for the veg puff

The industry is abuzz with speculation that IBM will sell its x86 server business to Lenovo. As usual, neither party is talking publicly, but at this point I'd give it a better than even chance, since usually these kind of rumors tend to be based on leaks of real discussions as opposed to being completely delusional fantasies. Usually.
So the obvious question then becomes "Huh?", or, slightly more eloquently stated, "Why would they do something like that?". Aside from the possibility that this might all be fantasy, two explanations come to mind:
1. IBM is crazy.
2. IBM is not crazy.
Of the two explanations, I'll have to lean toward the latter, although we might be dealing with a bit of the "Hey, I'm the new CEO and I'm going to do something really dramatic today" syndrome. IBM sold its PC business to Lenovo to the tune of popular disbelief and dire predictions, and it's doing very well today because it transferred its investments and focus to higher margin business, like servers and services. Lenovo makes low-end servers today that it bootstrapped with IBM licensed technology, and IBM is finding it very hard to compete with Lenovo and other low-cost providers. Maybe the margins on its commodity server business have sunk below some critical internal benchmark for return on investment, and it believes that it can get a better return on its money elsewhere.

Overview - Moonshot Takes Off
HP today announced the Moonshot 1500 server, their first official volume product in the Project Moonshot server product family (the initial Redstone, a Calxeda ARM-based server, was only available in limited quantities as a development system), and it represents both a significant product today and a major stake in the ground for future products, both from HP and eventually from competitors. It's initial attractions – an extreme density low power x86 server platform for a variety of low-to-midrange CPU workloads – hides the fact that it is probably a blueprint for both a family of future products from HP as well as similar products from other vendors.
Geek Stuff – What was Announced
The Moonshot 1500 is a 4.3U enclosure that can contain up to 45 plug-in server cartridges, each one a complete server node with a dual-core Intel Atom 1200 CPU, up to 8 GB of memory and a single disk or SSD device, up to 1 TB, and the servers share common power supplies and cooling. But beyond the density, the real attraction of the MS1500 is its scalable fabric and CPU-agnostic architecture. Embedded in the chassis are multiple fabrics for storage, management and network giving the MS1500 (my acronym, not an official HP label) some of the advantages of a blade server without the advanced management capabilities. At initial shipment, only the network and management fabric will be enabled by the system firmware, with each chassis having up two Gb Ethernet switches (technically they can be configured with one, but nobody will do so), allowing the 45 servers to share uplinks to the enterprise network.

So I found myself over the weekend needing to automate something. I have a backlog of all the small tools I thought would be cool to build while I was consulting but never had time to actually do. Now I have some time! Introducing the MDTDownloader...
I found myself constantly setting up and configuring MDT at client sites, often multiple times and wish I had an easy command line or script to do it for me. That is exactly the point of MDTDownloader. This script reaches out to Microsoft and downloads MDT 2013 Update 2 and the ADK prerequisite. It will also download some common OSD necessities such as .NET Framework 4.6.2 and the Visual C++ Redistributable binaries. Why? Because this script will also create a deployment share, and a folder hierarchy and create applications for those. Cool, huh?
But as with most things with PowerShell right now, I set out to learn something new. In this instance, I wanted to abstract the onfiguration into a separate file. So I'm using a PowerShell Data File (".PSD1") to hold all of the application data such as the URL, command line and such so you can add applications without modifying the script.
As always, community input is welcome. There are a few features I want to implement and will over the next couple weeks. Got an idea, make a pull request or create an issue!

A Foolish Requiem
I had a humbling experience in front of my computer the other night. I was mindlessly tapping in responses to my estate planning software's endless questions when suddenly I came face-to-face with my own mortality. I hit the enter key and like a glowing oracle, my computer screen displayed in business-like black letters on a conservative blue ground: "Life Expectancy: 91 years." I gave pause.
Taking my hand off my mouse I stared out past my monitor. My first thoughts were about my children. I thought about how it was a privilege to raise them, though sometimes it seemed like an endless march of dirty diapers, skinned knees, and sibling rivalries. But from the perspective of 91 years, the hours of child-rearing looked more like just one chapter of a long book rather than the story of my life. Having young children for twelve years was a mere 13% of my lifetime.
Next my thoughts turned to my investments. Although I'd invested in good long-term companies, some days impatience would take over. Stock prices moved up then down. "Where's this market going?" I'd wonder. Then I thought, what's one day if you're going to live through 33,238 of them? What's one bad week on Wall Street if you're going to buy and hold for 4,732 weeks? I'd have lots of time to ride out the market's short-term gyrations. In fact, after thirty years I would have almost another thirty years to enjoy the benefits of an historical average annual return of 11% in stocks. I could enjoy all that compounding so much that I'd eliminate the need for estate planning! But then, I remembered the children.
I fast forwarded to my intergalactic funeral, somewhere in the Milky Way in the 2060s. I gave myself a few extra years for unforeseen biotech/medical advancements with accompanying stock growth (hopefully by Amgen). I could just hear one of my great-grandchildren sweetly eulogizing me, "We're all going to miss
great grandma-ma. She surely was quite a person. She was kind and generous, independent and sassy, and thank goodness, she was a Fool."

Teak enclosure - latch recommendations needed
Hi all,
I'm planning to install a teak panel/enclosure for our stereo and VHF above a shelf in the nav station. I'm a novice woodworker, but I believe I can keep the project fairly simple. Because of the configuration, it would not be possible to set up the panel on hinges. So at the minimum, I would like to install it with some sort of latch at each of the 4 corners so I can remove the panel easily (and over and over, as needed).
Optionally, I would also consider using machine screws, if there's a simple and common way to install a nut on the opposite side. Just so long as I'm not using wood screws, I'd be satisfied.
Can anyone recommend a latch or machine screw configuration that will hold the panel securely, is easy to install, and makes the panel removable?
You could embed t-nuts to receive the screws.....
Another solution would be to use the PYI made fasteners. They make special fasteners for floor boards that would work nicely, but they're pricey.
Ahhh just looked up those PYI fasteners. Very nice. That is indeed basically what I was referring to. Although I do see what you mean about the expense--with the needed bits, etc, plus the fasteners. Quite clean though.
T-nuts might be the way to go, simply because the price is right. Are t-nuts a Home Depot sort of thing, or do I need to order them? Sorry, I'm really new to this stuff...
If you want a really clean look, you could avoid fasteners altogether and rout a rabbet in the bottom of the carcass for the face plate to rest in, held in by a full width cleat on the top of the carcass. make the face plate shorter than the overall height of the carcass, drill a finger hole to allow the face plate to be lifted up to clear the rabbet, then pulled down and out to clear the cleat at the top.
Wouldn't use the ones from Lee Valley, as I don't believe they're stainless steel. :D Try here instead.
Is this thing that you're making going to support the radio or is it just a cover? If it is just a light cover it may be easier just to use Velcro.
try looking at jegs, the auto parts place they have a wide selection of quarter turn fasteners, not sure about stainless.
or look at the latch that gemini cats use for the lockers on their boats, you might be able to adapt them. you might even be able to get them from performance sailing direct, so no shipping.
they are shown a few times in this vid
YouTube - Gemini catamaran walk-through
SD, I'd be worried about stainless if it was an exterior app, or an interior app constantly exposed to air. Neither is the case here.
It may a bit much advanced to make but a tambor would work nice for an enclosure like that. it's a roll up thingy made of slats.. like you see on big old roll top desks. they can be bought from places like Rockler.com but not in teak i'm sure.

Cool idea, denise.

A recent ruling by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is likely to lead to developments in auto shredder residue (ASR) recycling and energy conversion in America that are already underway in parts of Europe.
With an aggressive 95% landfill diversion target facing vehicle makers, scrap recyclers and others who handle end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) in the European Union, a great deal of work already has been done there on finding end markets for the mixed plastic fraction of ELVs.
In the U.S., the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc. (ISRI), has long held that resolving the regulatory uncertainty will lead to innovation to separate plastics from ASR, much as has happened in parts of the EU.
Similar plastic sorting technologies are being deployed in the computer recycling or waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) sector. The WEEE directive in the EU similarly stipulates landfill diversion as a goal, providing an additional incentive (beyond higher polymer costs) to sort and recycle these materials or to prepare them for an energy conversion process.
The other sector increasingly seeking 100% recycling or recovery is the post-consumer solid waste and commingled recyclables segment. An approach that is not new to some parts of the EU but is now taking hold in the U.S. and the U.K. includes a waste-to-energy conversion process immediately following materials recovery facility (MRF) sorting.
In the U.S., the California city of San José has made considerable investments to manage the waste and recyclables it collects with the goal of nearing zero waste. Working with service companies and technology providers, San Jose has set ambitious recycling rate goals, only then to be followed by an energy-from-waste process for the remaining materials.
This year in the U.K., the British subsidiary of Spain's FCC Group has opened a MRF in the East Midlands of England that includes a refuse-derived-fuel (RDF) preparation system at the same site. In a news release announcing the opening of the new plant, FCC says it may convert 50% or more of the material arriving at the MRF into RDF that can be used as power plant feedstock in the U.K. and other nations.
There are those who do not view waste-to-energy applications as a proper form of recycling. Advocates, on the other hand, say that capturing the carbon value of these discarded materials serves a better environmental and economic purpose than sending them to a landfill or old-style incinerator.
Those on both sides of the debate across all recycling sectors claim unity, however, in first wishing to capture materials that can effectively and affordably be recycled back into new products.

Oak Newel cap came off
I have a 4" square oak newel at the base of my interior stairwell. Recently the square trim cap came off. It had be glued and stapled with very fine staples at the factory and is composed of a center with laminated edges, solid oak.. I do not want to disturb the finish or corner molding on the underside of the cap or risk misalignment but I want to refasten the cap securely enough that if one of my boys swings around the post in future the cap will not come loose again. Does anyone have as suggested adhesive?or fastening technique. I had thought of drilling with a threaded double ended stud but if I split the cap it will be major work to replace the newel.
The cap is slightly pointed so if I glue it , it will be awkward to clamp as well.
try using Premium PL Polyurethane.
but be careful, use it sparingly, because it foams up.
You must be thinking about a different adhesive, PL Premium doesn't foam.
PL is construction adhesive
Thanks, forgot to mention that. It comes in tubes to be used in a caulking gun.
Thanks to all will give it a try

Has anyone ever used this place? They have Hobbs 80/20 batting in king size for $17; the cheapest I've seen before that was on Amazon for $26.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Has anyone ever used this place? They have Hobbs 80/20 batting in king size for $17; the cheapest I've seen before that was on Amazon for $26.
Never heard of them before but it looks like their online shop caters mostly to long armers.
So I wouldn't have had a reason to stumble across them.
Seems like a great price for the batting.
The only thing I'd say is their very minimum shipping charge is very high (for a <$10 order).
But it doesn't look like there is much under $10, so....after that, the rates seem better.
I usually use W&N but I could be convinced to try out Hobbs 80/20 at those prices. ;-)
Thanks for posting.
looks like a good sight to bad shipping to
canada is so expensive.
I have used Kingsmen for several years and have never been disappointed in their service or prices. I longarm so I buy Hobbs 80/20 by the roll and get lots of other longarm supplies at very good prices.
Good to know.Originally Posted by greensleeves
So may I ask you this - do you happen to have a link to a quilt you did with the Hobbs 80/20?
As I wrote upthread, I like the W&N, and I know I DON'T like the look of the Hobbs Poly.
I was wondering what it looked like - mostly concerned about the poof factor.
Thanks for you help.
And sorry for hijacking the thread. :mrgreen:
This was just posted http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-152177-1.htm#4181319
If you look at the yellow quilt (3rd pic), that's the kind of quilting I love on my quilts - not heirloom but dense with swirls and spirals and NO feathers. ;-)
How would that look with the 80/20?
Thanks for your help.
And sorry for hijacking the thread. :mrgreen:
I have bought thread from them and their service is great. I would not hesitate to order batting from them and I may do so soon.
This isn't the Hobbs polydown, it's 80/20--80% cotton, 20% poly. It's very similar to warm and natural, but I like it a bit better--I think--I not that experienced. I think it's slightly thicker than W&N, but not puffy.Originally Posted by MTS
I know it's not the Poly - I just wanted to make clear how much I really don't like that look at all. Personally. So I wouldn't want anything similar to it.
Sounds like it's not going to be much different -poof wise- from W&N then, right?
Thicker is ok, I don't mind that.
I think I'm going to order some packages to try out. That price is incredible.
Been using Kingsman for years--thread, pantos and other long arm gizmos. They provide fast and excellent service. Not touching the batting issue. YES I am a feather lady when it is appropriate for the quilt.
Yes, I bought 6 queen size. Have already used two of them. Great prices.

hi again....

which is better???
hi again....
could anyone shed a bit light on the difference between INPA and DIS...
which is better???
just want sum advice as i have already inpa installed on my laptop and have a connection with the car...i have a video giving instructions on how to install dis and gt1...is it worth going to all the trouble installing these or are they superior software???? any comments apprechiated
I think that DIS & SSS is superior to INPA...I have not used INPA though and I have only just got DIS & SSS......I think you need both DIS & SSS together though
I wouldn't bother installing DIS. It's just a different front end to the same thing and is difficult to install. It's what was used in dealerships and takes a more menu driven approach to form a test plan where with Inpa it's much quicker to use and you just read the error codes of the module you want.
DIS requires running a unix virtual machine where Inpa runs on Windows.
As StK pointed out, earlier versions of DIS allowed you to program where later versions require a separate program to do so. If you want to code or program with Inpa you use NCS expert.

Ambassador Tom and the Mortgaged Youth are sick and tired of your black president talking down to little girls and the Supreme Court. They just want their freedom back, America.
No, that isn't Jeff Van Gundy in a mime shirt conservative-rocking out in the clip below. It appears to be Tom Schweich, the Tom Schweich running for Missouri auditor. The same Tom Schweich who calls himself "Ambassador Tom" because, according to his website, President George W. Bush "accorded him a rare honor—the rank of Ambassador."
The song is called "Gimme Back My Freedom" (because proper spelling is for terrorists).
You think you're so smart
That you can run my life
Well I don't need your help
And neither does my wife
Bailouts and debt
They got me feelin dissed
Sellin' out my son to Chinese communists
I don't like it
I won't take it
With God's help, yeah
We're gonna make it
Gimme back my freedom
Or I'm gonna fight
I don't need your handouts
I just want my rights
Oooh hoo (yeah yeah), all right
Are you ready to fight?
We work real hard
For all we have achieved
And we love every life
From the day it was conceived
We don't bow
To hateful foreign kings
We don't apologize
And we don't kiss their rings
I don't like it
I won't take it
With God's help, yeah
We're gonna make it
You talk way down
To everyone it seems
From small town girls
to the United States Supremes
We're on to you
So get off of your tower
My Constitution says
The people have the power
I don't like it
I won't take it
With God's help, yeah
We're gonna make it

Looking for Firestone Speed Cushion tires in 26 X 1.75 whitewall. Thanks
I've got a pair I may be able to part with.
I have a decent vintage pair of firestone speed cushion 26x1.75 tires that are mostly blackwalls but have a 1/4" or so whitewall going around as well. If you are interested let me know.
See my PM, Thanks
I've got a set....they look a little rough around the bead, but they are fine. I've had them mounted with air in them for about a year now and no issues. I can send pics if you want. They came on my Firestone 500. Make me a fair offer and they're yours.
