When to Start
You've got a good idea. You have the right skills to get it done. When do you take the leap of faith and start giving a new project your time and money?
That's an answer I'm trying to find right now. Through the process of starting and operating TheSecretIngredients, I learned so much, and I know that I will respect the lessons I learned from mistakes and not repeat them. Finding the confidence to launch a new project is taking more courage this time, and I find myself hesitant to commit fully to one project right now. So, the question I've been asking myself is...
What's the safest way to launch a new startup?
I've put a lot of thought into this over the last several months, and I have a plan for my new startup project:
- Devote enough resources in the beginning but be VERY conservative, thrifty and resourceful.
- Get advisors involved before you build anything to make the best possible decisions about your initial business model.
- Build something inexpensively. Make it look good and professional but it doesn't have to be perfect. (I've got resources for this. Contact me if you need some ideas.)
- Get your network's feedback and start marketing on a small, local level.
- Put feelers out in the community to get an idea of what events you should be attending and who you should know in the industry.
- Collect your feedback and decide if changes need to be made to your test site.
- Market your site more and more as you have time but keep the pace equal to your delivery speed.
- Analyze the results and if it's worth your efforts to get serious.
These are the steps I've taken with my test project, GetYourChick.com, a dating advice website that offers confidential, honest feedback for men. I built the website myself in April and was able to get everything up and ready for under $350. SBDC in Seattle provided me with free one-on-one business advising (highly recommended), and I asked my contacts and consultants from past projects to add their two cents.
So far, I've gotten a wonderful response from the test site. The local crowd thinks that it will resonate with the Seattle dating scene; I've got singles events lined up; and, I'm meeting with contacts in this industry. I'm still hesitant to begin PR efforts, but I am blogging on a regular basis, link building, and starting to do my search engine magic.
I'll keep you updated on this test and if my efforts are successful. Please ping me if you know anyone in the dating industry that I should know, or if you have questions about the methodology I'm using.

Citation: Rath, N.C., Rasaputra, K., Liyanage, R., Lay, J., Slavik, M. 2013. Effect of thiram on avian growth plate chondrocytes in culture. Journal of Toxicological Sciences. 38(1):93-101. Interpretive Summary: Thiram is a fungicide and general use pesticide. Ingestion of thiram by young poultry induces lameness due to its effect on knee joint cartilage. To understand how thiram affects cartilage, we studied its effects using knee joint cartilage cells grown in culture, and comparing with those that did not receive thiram, and analyzing the proteins from these cells. Our results show that this pesticide produces cellular stress and causes cell death. The presence of dead cells in the joint causes lameness.
Technical Abstract: Thiram (tetramethyl thiuram disulfide) is a general use pesticide. It causes tibial dyschondroplasia, a cartilage defect in poultry leading to growth plate deformation and lameness. The mechanism of its action on chondrocytes is not understood. Since proteins play significant role in development and differentiation of cells, the objective of this study was to find whether thiram induces proteomic changes that may be consequential to the failure of endochondral bone formation. Growth plate chondrocytes from proximal tibia were cultured with sublethal concentrations of thiram for 48h and the cell protein extracts were subjected to 2-D gel electrophoresis. Triplicate gels from each group were compared and statistically evaluated using Melanie software to find differentially changed protein spots. Of total 72 identifiable spots, 5 were down regulated in thiram treated cells. In-gel digestion of these spots followed by the identification of the tryptic peptides in the digests by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) revealed the down-regulated proteins as HSP 70, and a GALE protein. Serpin H1 precursor protein involved in collagen metabolism and NMRA-like protein-1 involved in apoptosis were found to be up-regulated. GALE and NMRAL proteins are involved in maintaining energy metabolism. HSP 70 is implicated in cartilage hypertrophy essential for endochondral bone formation. It appears that thiram affects proteins involved in energy metabolism and cellular stress, the compromise of which leads to the loss of cellular integrity and viability leading to cell death. Inefficient removal of dead chondrocytes and their retention in the growth plate appear to be cause tibial dyschondroplasia.

Chinese whisper review idea
I just had an idea for a simple social media experiment: Person A reviews a piece of art work (e.g. book, film, song) and posts their review to Youtube. Person B reviews the review. Person C reviews the review of the review, and so on, creating a potentially infinite chain of reviews. It could make for a very interesting web-site.
These are the things one thinks off when they should be learning how to prepare consolidated statements of income.

japanese fan cake by pinkshoegirlWatch
©2008-2017 pinkshoegirl
1st of 2 cakes by request this weekend. this one is marble cake with chocolate fudge pudding filling, covered in buttercream. i cut the fan using 10 and 4 inch circle pans as guides from a fondant/gumpaste mix, let it dry out overnight, then painted the cherry blossom design with tinted vanilla. i tinted the same mix for the "sticks" and just cut straight 1/4 inch pieces of the same length and stacked them. i let them dry into form overnight as well.
That is so cool!
This is awesome!
Damn thats Good!
omg this is so pretty, i want something like this for my 21st!

At ANZ, we constantly seek to enhance our security measures so as to give our customers added assurance when banking with us. In line with an industry-wide initiative by the Association of Banks in Singapore, we have implemented a series of additional controls to better safeguard the interest of our customers.To enjoy greater piece of mind, it is important that you update your contact details by calling our 24-hour Customer Service at 1800 269 2269 or +65 6269 2269 (if overseas).
Enhancement of card security
Our enhanced suite of security measures includes
- ANZ Credit Card activation for first-time use
- Embedded EMV Smart Chip cards to replace magnetic stripe-only cards
- Transaction Alerts via SMS for transactions above a pre-defined threshold
- Introduction of One-Time Password (OTP) for online transactions.
ANZ Credit Card activation required for first-time use
Since 21 July 2012, all newly issued ANZ Credit Cards will be sent out in deactivated mode. Before using your newcard, you are required to activate it by calling our 24-hour Customer Service at 1800 269 2269 or +65 6269 2269 (if overseas). This security measure minimises the risk of unauthorised use of your new ANZ Credit Card in the event you did not receive the card.
Embedded EMV Smart Chips to replace magnetic stripe-only cards
With the embedded EMV Smart Chips, it becomes difficult for fraud syndicates to decode information stored in your card. Compared to magnetic stripe-only card, EMV Smart Chips card significantly reduces the risk of information being illegally copied. With this new technology, all ANZ Credit Cardmembers can now make retail purchases with greater assurance.
Activation/De-activation of ANZ Credit Card magnetic stripe for overseas use
In line with the industry's measures to enhance credit cards security, the magnetic stripe on your ANZ Credit Card(s) will be de-activated for overseas use with effect from 7 September 2013.
De-activating the magnetic stripe for overseas use will reduce the risk of an unauthorised transaction* being effected on the credit card. This is because data encoded on magnetic stripe can be easily read and replicated.
This means a credit card with de-activated magnetic stripe for overseas use will not work in the following situations:
- credit card overseas Cash Advance
- credit card overseas retail transactions at magnetic stripe (swipe) terminals.
However, the credit card will continue to work in the following situations:
- credit card online transactions
- credit card overseas retail transactions at EMV chip (non-swipe) terminals.
To activate or de-activate the magnetic stripe on your credit card(s) to allow overseas use, you may do so via Interactive Voice Response (IVR) or contact our 24-hour Customer Service at 1800 269 2269 or +65 6269 2269 (if overseas). Alternatively, please log on to Digital Banking at anz.com.sg.
*Transactions refer to point of sale (POS) purchases made using a Credit card.
Transaction Alert via SMS for transactions above default threshold amount
As another deterrent to fraudulent activity, transaction alerts will be sent to all ANZ Credit Cardmembers via SMS (Short Message Service) whenever a purchase equal to or more than the default threshold amount of S$1,000 is charged to either the principal or supplementary Card. You can vary the default threshold amount of S$1,000 through our 24-hour Customer Service. If the purchase is neither transacted by you nor your supplementary cardmember, you should notify us immediately by calling our 24-hour Customer Service at 1800 269 2269 or +65 6269 2269 (if overseas).
The SMS will be sent to the Principal Cardmember's mobile number recorded on our system. Please update your current mobile number with us today to ensure you are kept informed of your transaction details.
Starting 11 August 2013, the default threshold amount for transaction alerts via SMS (Short Message Service) will be increased from S$500 to S$1,000.
Introduction of One-Time Password (OTP) for online transactions
This is an additional layer of security specifically for your online transactions. Whenever you make an online purchase with your credit card at participating 3-D Secure (3DS) merchants, you will be asked to enter an OTP (One-time Password), which will be sent to you via SMS (to the mobile number recorded on our system), before the transaction can be approved. This will increase security against online fraud, as online purchases will be made only after authorisation is obtained from the credit cardholder.
Please note that this additional security measure is only applicable to participating 3DS merchants with 3DS authentication protocols such as "SecureCode" (MasterCard).
ANZ Credit Card activation required for first-time use
|Why do I need to activate my ANZ Credit Card?
As part of our continuing efforts to enhance credit card security, we will be issuing all credit cards, including supplementary cards, in a deactivated state. This security measure will reduce the risk of unauthorised parties using your ANZ Credit Card before it reaches you.
|Can I use my ANZ Credit Card if I have not activated it?
No, activation is required before your ANZ Credit Card can be used.
|How do I activate my ANZ Credit Card?
Please contact our 24-hour Customer Service Hotline at 1800 269 2269 (or +65 6269 2269 if overseas) to activate your card.
|Can my ANZ Supplementary Cardmember activate his/her Supplementary Card?
Only the ANZ Principal Cardmember will be authorised to activate both the Principal Card and the Supplementary Card.
Activation/De-activation of ANZ Credit Card magnetic stripe for overseas use
To enhance credit cards security, the magnetic stripe on your
ANZ Credit Card(s) will be de-activated for overseas use with effect from 7 September 2013. ANZ Cardmembers can continue to use their credit cards overseas at merchants with EMV chip machines or for overseas online transactions
|What is a magnetic stripe?
The magnetic stripe is the magnetic band found at the back of your credit card. It allows card data to be read by physical contact and swiping past a magnetic reading head.
|What is EMV?
EMV stands for Europay, MasterCard and Visa. It is a global security standard for chip card technology.
|Why is the industry implementing this measure?
The data encoded on the magnetic stripe card is easily read and copied making it easier for a magnetic stripe card to be easily duplicated. However, the microprocessor chip on a chip card is protected by cryptographic encryption and virtually eliminates the ability to copy the contents of the chip to another card. The chip-based card also complies with the MAS standard of data security.
|Which countries do not accept EMV chip?
Countries like the UK, Europe, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Malaysia may or may not accept the EMV chip. The US and South Korea are still reliant on the magnetic stripe to process their credit/debit card transactions. In Japan, the EMV chip is only partially implemented.
|How do I activate the magnetic stripe card on my card for overseas usage?
If you would like to activate or disable the Overseas Use of your credit cards magnetic stripe, you may do so via Interactive Voice Response (IVR) or contact our 24-hour Customer Service at 1800 269 2269 or +65 6269 2269 (if overseas) or please log on to Digital Banking at anz.com.sg.
|What if I do not deactivate the magnetic stripe upon return from my overseas trip?
The risk of unauthorised transactions being effected on your credit card is higher if you do not deactivate the magnetic stripe. To minimise unauthorised transactions, it is advisable to deactivate the magnetic stripe upon return from your overseas trip
|What can I do to facilitate the implementation of this measure?
You are reminded to contact your bank to update your mailing address and mobile number if you have not done so.
EMV Smart Chip
|What is EMV Smart Chip?
EMV (Europay, Mastercard and VISA) is a global security standard for chip-based card transactions which ensures security when making transactions. This smart chip is globally accepted and provides tightened control against fraudulent activities.
|Why do the bank needs to replace the current magnetic stripe card with a EMV Smart Chip Card?
An embedded EMV Smart Chip Card provides greater security than a magnetic stripe card. It prevents information from being easily copied as it contains a microprocessor chip. An EMV Smart Chip Card also stores more data that uniquely identifies the card and its Cardmember, reducing the possibility for fraudsters to decode the card.
|Can I use my EMV Smart Chip Card for online purchase?
Yes, your new EMV Smart Chip Card can be used for online transactions.
Transaction Alert via SMS
|What is a Transaction Alert?
Transaction alerts, introduced by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, are an added layer of security. Whenever a transaction exceeds a pre-defined threshold (default set at S$1,000 or the foreign currency equivalent for a non-local transaction), you will receive an SMS from the Bank informing you of such a transaction. You will need to contact ANZ immediately if you or your supplementary cardmember did not authorise the transaction. You may opt-out or change the pre-defined threshold by calling our 24-hour Customer Service hotline at 1800 269 2269.
|When will I receive my SMS Transaction Alert?
You will receive an alert when
|Will there be a charge imposed for SMS Transaction Alerts?
No, this service is provided free of charge. However, in the event you are outside of Singapore, you should check with your mobile service provider whether an SMS sent from Singapore and received overseas is chargeable. SMS fees imposed by your mobile service provider shall be borne by you.
|Can I change my threshold amount?
Yes, you can change the pre-defined threshold by calling our 24-hour Customer Service hotline at 1800 269 2269.
|Can I choose to opt out from this SMS Transaction Alert Service?
Yes, you can choose to opt out.
One-Time Password (OTP) for online transactions
|What is 3-D Secure?
3-D Secure refers to Three Domain Secure, which is the payment industry's internet authentication standard. 3DS is an added security measure for online Credit Card transactions. The Cardmember will be required to enter a One-Time Password when he/she makes a purchase at a merchant's website that uses 3DS before the transaction can be completed.
|How do I enroll for 3DS with ANZ?
All ANZ Cardmembers will automatically be enrolled with 3DS.
|How do I identify participating 3DS merchants?
Participating 3DS merchants can be identified by the display logos (such as VISA's Verified-by-VISA and MasterCard Secure logos) found on their official website.
Terms and conditions
1.

|Summary: NSS module and daemon for using LDAP as a naming service
This package provides a Name Service Switch module that allows your LDAP server to provide user account, group, host name, alias, netgroup, and basically any other information that you would normally get from /etc flat files or NIS. Nss-ldapd is a fork of the nss_ldap package by PADL Software Pty Ltd.. implementing some structural design changes that were needed to fix some issues of the original design.

With such a short turnover from Supplemental Draft entries to the actual live auction draft itself (on July 12th), it's not easy for scouts in both the NFL as well as non-NFL scouts to get the necessary information to make an informed opinion on a prospect.
Our scouting report on Josh Gordon
features his background information as best we can gather from the
internet, as well as all of his scouting notes on the film I've seen.
However, I dove deeper into his background, speaking to people at Utah
and Baylor about his character and ability to adapt to the NFL as a
I spoke with someone at Utah in the Athletic Communications Department.
Here's what they said on Josh Gordon:
"It wasn't the right situation for Josh so we parted ways."
That's it. Not anything special, but it still left some concerning
issues. What made it not the right situation for JOSH? And the "we" in
the parted ways leads me to believe it wasn't just Josh leaving the
program: they wanted him out. Just trying to get as much out of the
minimal information I can.
However, someone in close to the Baylor football program was much more
helpful. Keep in mind that these comments are made without bias. The
person does not still have contact with Gordon, and Gordon was
dismissed from Baylor University. Gordon has little to zero connection
to Baylor as of now outside of still keeping in touch with some coaches.
"I'll tell you what I've been telling the NFL: Josh is a great kid,
super talent, just bad decisions. All the coaches here liked him."
"He was arrested in October 2010, and suspended for 4 quarters, spread
out over a couple of games I believe, but then failed a Baylor drug
test late last spring. The Baylor administration kicked him out of
school for the failed drug test, but Coach Briles went to bat for him
with the 'higher ups', trying to let him stay. Coaches were
disappointed about his leaving."
"Nobody thought he had a problem. It's not like he showed up to
meetings or practice high or anything like that. I think he just got
around with the wrong people not associated with the football team that
persuaded his bad decisions."
"I'm not aware of any concerns the staff had for him coming out of high
school, as his arrest in October of 2010 was his first incident.
"It seemed he got along with everyone on the team and I can't think of
any point where he was in confrontation on field or off. If football is
all he has to focus on, then he'll thrive because he knows this is his
last chance. I've gotten a lot of calls from NFL scouts about him, so I
know there's interest."
The fact that this same person has been the main voice for Josh
Gordon's time at Baylor for NFL scouts should be noted. This glowing
report of Gordon shows that he's not the major character risk that he
has been portrayed as, at least during his time with Baylor. Coaches,
the people who knew him best, didn't want a mistake mean he had to move
I'm unsure what happened at Utah still (hopefully, another update
coming), but this report from this Baylor highly creditable source
speaks that, if he's with the right crowd at the next level, he should
be a fine NFL teammate and player. And as you can read from the report,
he's a 2nd round talent in my book.

Wheel cleaning question
Hi everyone. I have a question about my wheels. I have the 17 inch polished alloy wheels and wanted to know if they will scratch from cleaning? Like do I have to be easy on them so that the brake dust won't scratch or put swirls in them, like when washing the paint on your car? Or would that not happen with these wheels? They look so nice that I don't want to screw them up.
Moved to "Auto Washing & Detailing"
You will be good cleaning them the same way as you clean your paint.
So brake dust and dirt won't scratch these wheels? I've always had regular aluminum wheels in the past and didn't have to worry about them. Since these have such a high gloss look, just under chrome, I have no idea if they would have to be carefully cleaned to avoid scratches. Could they be scratched by cleaning improperly? Just trying to avoid any mistakes on my new car :)
Being an OEM product, durability is a major concern for the manufacturer and they wouldn't equip vehicles with something easily scratched by brake dust. I think you will be fine with regular cleaning. Just use soap and water.
How do they make the polished alloys? Are they dipped or machined? I see some faint lines similar to a black car after you wash many times you get those faint scratches. Very hard to notice. Maybe I'm just looking too hard or maybe you have those with the way they make the rims.
simple green FTW
harbor freight also sells a soft wheel cleaning brush that fits between spokes for low dollar
or mothers has an expensive drill attachment.
my wheels are painted, an old t shirt and simple green does just fine every now and then but i selected a very custom color to get my desired look... that dirty penny
brake dust makes them look better until... rain.
camber + lips + poke = puddles :(
Any factory wheels are coated. Polished alloy would have a clear coating applied.
The 17" wheels I have seen are NOT polished but painted silver.
Maybe some folks have actual polished, but the ones around my area are painted. (I have the black painted 17's so I watch forthe 17" wheels)
Without a clear coat, the alloy would soon discolor get 'unshiny' without a LOT of care.
So for any coated wheels.. treat the same as paint.
Well mine are not painted silver. Check out the option for the polished alloy wheels for 2013's just to make sure we are talking about the same thing.
It's VERY likely they are coated. And it's almost certain they will scratch just like your paint. Nothing is impervious to scratching. Take as much care as you can to give them a long scratch free life.
Use lots of soapy water, a very soft brush, flush with water, follow with a microfiber mitt instead of towels and t-shirts, air blow them dry.

We installed a fairly extensive Elan G! home automation system in our home, and it took almost 1 year to complete the entire system. During the installation we encountered many bugs and problems with the Elan G! system, and are still having problems. Specifically, the most critical problem is as follows:
First some history on the problem. When we first created this project we were using version 5.9. In this version TTS did not work on the HC6 outputs. Version 6.0 kinda fixed this issue but not entirely. If the power is cycled on the HC6 controller the TTS on output 1 quits working. The work around for this is to set up a zone with Shoutcast as a source from output 1. When Shoutcast is selected and a song is played the audio for TTS from HC6 output is restored. We then turn off Shoutcast and TTS works. The critical issue for us is we are using TTS to announce security zone violations. This is a mission critical function. If there has been a power outage the TTS security quits working until someone does the work around. We would very much like to see this bug fixed, soon.
This is one of several problems that Elan appears to not be able to fix. I would warn any possible consumers about Elan's abilities to provide a complete solution in home automation. We keep getting the runaround at Elan on the solutions whenever we contact their support.
I am days away from pulling the trigger on a Elan g! purchase/installation of several of their components and would be very interested in any comments. v12-man, what are some of the other problems?
The system controls Security, Security Cameras, Irrigation, HVAC (via RCS thermostats), Lighting (UPB), A/V equipment (4 locations), Garage Doors, Whole House Water Shutoff, Temperature monitoring (air and lake water) and a number of other misc functions.
The hardware was already in place when I started and it took about 1 month to get the system up and running and maybe another 2-3 months of refinement, mostly UI configuration.
I am very pleased with my system and would recommend Elan g! to family and friends without hesitation, assuming it would meet their needs.
~~Our experience has been not very good:
Main Elan HC-6 controller failed within 30 days.
Elan's preconfigured networking router and switch assembly didn't work and had to be replaced with a different brand.
Elan told us that our Vantage lighting system was supported by G! before we bought the system, but Elan's interface has faulty drivers, and you can't even emulate a keypad. This part of the project had to be abandoned because Elan could not make it work after weeks of support calls and tons of wasted paid time to our installer.
Music server didn't work properly, their native server didn't work right, and it took Elan almost year to make it work with the Squeezebox which Elan said was supported in the beginning when it really didn't work. Then it didn't support FLAC files.
Elan said G! supported our Blu-ray players when it really didn't, their interface didn't work properly, and frankly it was obvious that it had not even been tested once you tried it. We wasted more time with Elan support trying to get it to work and had to abandon it and seek another solution.
Speech to text didn't work as Elan had said it would.
This is just a few of the problems. We found so many bugs in the Elan G! system that we basically felt we were "beta" testing their system and finding all the problems and then waiting for Elan to fix them. This was very frustrating. It was obvious in many cases that the programmers had never even tested their design to see if it actually worked. We still have bugs in our G! system that their support department gave us case numbers for over a year ago and they are still not fixed. Elan's support department is clueless half the time and often never gets back with you. Very difficult company to work with and appears to us to be very unorganized and poorly engineered.
Elan's G! system interfaces have silly in capabilities that no one could have imagined. Why would you spend all this money designing a system like this that can't do simple tasks with the touch of a button on the remote? The way the menus have to be structured are so constrained that you end up with a system that if you have no training, you cannot use the remote to control the TV. When I have guests in my house and they pick up the remote, they can't figure out how to use it. When I had the Crestron system a 5 year old child could use it.
We had an older Crestron system that was bulletproof for 10 years, and we never had support problems with Crestron. If Crestron said it could be done, it could be done and that was that, it worked. We wanted all new TV's and a new system that would automate all the systems in the house with more modern interfaces. The Elan G! system looks flashy and their components are beautiful, but that is where it stops. Unfortunately we believed Elan's claims about their system compatibility, reliability, and overall integrated design. In retrospect we should have just bought new Crestron controllers and Crestron interfaces and built our new system from there as in our experience Crestron is much more reliable and professional. I wish I could get all my money back and Elan would take back all this junk so we could put in a real system that works like it should. In the end, we have a system filled with "go arounds" and silly design flaws. Oh, and try calling Elan, they won't talk to a consumer. They did finally talk to us because of all the problems we were having, and some "supervisor" was even rude to us at that point. Unbelievable. We are very nice people, and quite patient I might add. No, I would not recommend Elan to anyone.
If it was a dealer why was he installing something (the lighting system) that he hadn't tested beforehand to be sure it worked as required?
I cannot image why anybody would use the Elan router - makes me wonder a bit about the installers experience.
Not sure what you mean regards the HR2 - my family likes them a great deal and had no problem understanding the way they worked.
Crestron has been around a lot longer and tends to be pricey but they have had their failures such as the Prodigy system - CIs panned that system.
I have connected Oppo, Sony, and Denon BluRay players without problems.
My experience with bug fixes was good - it wasn't too long after I reported the bugs that a new version was released.
Sorry again that you had a bad time.
~~Thank you fcwilt. It was a local installer that had also installed our Crestron system 10 years ago. He has been doing it for over 20 years and is quite knowledgeable, and in my experience knows quite a bit more than any other person I have talked to about AV systems. He was so embarrassed that he was the one who advised us to go with the new "wonderful" G! system, that he heavily discounted his work because of all the unbelievable problems.
The Vantage Lighting system was installed in our house 10 years ago when it was built, and part of the decision to go with Elan was that they claim to have "modules" that you pay for that are already setup (preprogrammed) and all you do is input your system into their framework and you are ready to go. Well, there is no way to "test" it beyond inputting our lighting system into their program to find out that it does not work. Based on promises from Elan that they were working on fixing the bugs we discovered upon initial programming, we went ahead in input our lighting system. Then we spent tons of time going back and forth with the problems. There was no other way to get there. If you are not actively attempting to implement solutions, you will not find out that it cannot be done. After quite some time we were told that they could not make it work, so we had to abandon putting our Vantage lighting system into the G! home automation system. If anything, our installer's technical capabilities greatly helped Elan understand that their system didn't work, so I would say it was the other way around, our installer knows too much for them.
The HR2 has significant limitations, i.e. you cannot really customize the user interface, it is created by default. For example, if you want to change rooms (we have 7 A/V rooms and over a dozen zones) you have to hold down one "non-descript" key for several seconds to "magically" pop open another menu to change rooms. Mind you that this key you hold down does not say "rooms, or zones", or anything that makes sense, nor does it say "hold this key for an extended period of time" and you can change to a different A/V zone, so you would never ever figure this out if you were not told how to do it. Also, the names of some of the graphical buttons on the remote cannot be changed as well and the icons are very limited. If you want turn on music for in a multi-room setting, it is a convoluted process of pressing different buttons as well. In our old Crestron system it was as simple as touching one clearly marked button and then one more clearly marked button as to what you are doing. Not in the Elan G! system. We have had this system in our house for over a year and my wife has given up on figuring it out. Sure she can turn on the TV, change the channel, and turn off the TV. But ask her to turn off the security system notification, and she can't remember how to do it and she has a doctoral level education.
Elan told us point blank that they had a solution for our Sony Blu-ray servers. Well they do, but it never worked properly and they no longer support it of course, so they won't fix their broken module that never worked in the first place. And you can't find this out by looking at it; you have to implement the system to find out. There were so many things like this, claims that the G! would do this and that and in the end it didn't.
As far as timing of fixing bugs, I think I have covered that. We still have bugs not fixed that were promised over 1 year ago. And that is why I finally got so frustrated that I decided that other people need to now about this stuff so they don't get trapped into the situation we have.
By the time we spent all the money fishing out bugs for Elan and trying to find "go-arounds" for their interfaces, we could have just about programmed a new Crestron system for the house which would have a much better custom user interface that anyone could use without instruction. And we would have our lighting, Blu-ray servers, air conditioning, and etc. all on one home automation system. In fact, that was what started the whole project, to have everything in one interface (a home automation system), but in the end we have a mish-mosh of different solutions from different sources, and a not so user friendly interface, not what we wanted at all. By the time we found out that Elan could not do what they said it could do, we were too far in to go back, and Elan would not take back all the equipment. A really sad situation. Thank you Elan.
Crestron is a very different system from Elan g! and the approach to setting up a "friendly and functional" system is very different as well. If you installer was an experienced with Crestron but new to Elan g! he may have faced a substantial learning curve.
I know that you can configure an HR2 to support more then one AV zone but why was that done? It's much simpler to simply have one HR2 per zone. I really cannot imagine what has been done to make it hard to understand - even our guests have no issues - I hand them the quick start guide for the remote and they take it from there.
Changing icons and labels is generally possible - I haven't encountered any situations where I was not able to achieve the desired goal.
I would love to be able to see how your Elan g! is configured.
"Sony Blu-ray server" - what is that exactly?
What gear are you trying to get rid of - I might be interested.
~~We have five HR2's. But it is kind of silly to walk 30 feet and pick up another remote to operate a different room. And are you going to have a different HR2 for all 14 sound zones in the house? Also, having different HR2's does not solve the convoluted problems like turning on and off the security system notification for example, or even worse the go around we have to do to turn it on in the first place whenever it resets.
If you would like to come over to the house, I can show you everything. If you have a solution I will pay you to fix it. That would be great. But I would caution you that we aren't stupid and according to Elan this is it (after tons of hours trying their recommended solutions that don't always work).
Not trying to get rid of any gear, we are too deep financially to get out of it unless you want to buy us out of our gear and programming time. That would be great!
What is/are the issue(s) with the security system? How does it work at your end? Normally you would press the g! button on the HR2, then the Security "button", then select the desired mode.
And again what is this Sony Blu-Ray server you mentioned - do you have a model number?
I may be able to help you get your system working better.
That would be great. Please read my first post which accurately describes the most critical problem we have at the moment. If you have a solution let me know. Thanks.
Well my first question relates to power outages. What size of UPS is powering the system?
APC Back-UPS HS 500
However, why should my UPS make up for a failure in the Elan program for the next 10 years? And, it isn't just a failure in power. Any reset that resets the system causes the same problem.
But with the UPS carrying the system during power failures the only time you are going to be doing a reset is (maybe) during configuration.
I think I've reset my system once in the last year.
In any case I'll setup an HC6 and see if I can duplicate the problem. I vaguely recall encountering this problem but I don't remember the details - it was awhile back.
I'll be back at work in a week or two. I will let you know what I find.
In fact, I face more and more customers with their own plan.Doing CI for these customers with G is like killing a tiger with pencil knife.I had asked for SDK to deal with it but none.So you just do you job within Elan's ready-made circle,it will be safe.
Any way, I quit and be easy now.My advise is change to a customizable system such as AMX, Crestron or Savant. Please forget what they said cost effective ratio,it is a joke.
Finally, Elan has solved the problem. Took quite a while to fix the bug.
Fixed TTS to work on the HC6 outputs.
The basic design of the and limitations of the HR2 are not fixable. In discussions with the Elan tech people they have told us it would take a complete re-write of the entire structure of the software interface to make it more flexible. That is a bummer because the HR2 remote is really a slick piece of equipment. If it had more flexibility in the menu designs and capabilities it would dominate that segment of the market.

What is it that you would like to do with the HR2 that you cannot?
See Post #6 in this thread.
The issue of holding the Media icon to access other then the default room is simple enough to my way of thinking - I mean that's what the user guide says to do - so it wasn't too hard to figure out.
As far as having buttons to turn on/off multiple zones at one time, that is easily done.
The selection of icons that comes with the system is small but the installer can easily create/add others.
While you can't change the names of the icons on the main page everything else on all the other pages can be named as desired. It would seem simple enough for Elan to allow renaming the main page icons.
The steps needed to control the security system are determined by the security system not Elan.
Sorry you are not happy with the system.
But the integration into a cohesive system is one of the primary benefits.
Yes you can use a handful of standalone apps to control this and that but you have no integration.
For many of us it's well worth it.
And having to add some sort of hardware or software to give a device the ability to be integrated is the norm and not a big deal. It's certainly a drop in the bucket money wise.
Many manufacturers make a line of equipment that is intended to be integrated so you can take that route instead.
Dear Sir
Provide me the details of your Controller i will check it resolve it. I am strongly suggesting you that this is issue with the programing. Not with the controller. I can solve them.

DITTO! I have had all the same problems with Elan G! and more....vantage integration, remote problems, squeezebox problems, irrigation integration, HVAC irrigation. blah blah blah Now stuck with it given all we put into it and just hoping some day in my lifetime it gets better.
DITTO! I have had all the same problems with Elan G! and more....vantage integration, remote problems, squeezebox problems, irrigation integration, HVAC irrigation. blah blah blah Now stuck with it given all we put into it and just hoping some day in my lifetime it gets better.
Well just so you know what can be done with a Elan G! system mine is configured for:
Irrigation (Hunter), Security System (ELK), Security Cameras (Axis), HVAC System (Lennox - 4 systems - 8 zones), Lighting control (UPB - 50 some devices), A/V gear (4 zones) and a number of misc items (Garage Door control, Towel Warmers, Steam Shower, Whole House Water Shutoff, etc).
It includes two 7" Touch Screens, four HR2 remotes, several Tablets - and it all works day after day just fine.
Based on my experiences with my own system and working with other owners the problem, 9 times out of 10, is the installer.
Any complex system involving the interaction of many disparate components takes a good deal of knowledge, experience and effort - and one or more of these is often lacking.
its totally integration problem. i am sure about that. I have done 70 installation of Elan systems still all are working fine till today

That's great. You are lucky. I have a Hunter Controller IC-600 which replaced Hunter X-CORE in 2011. But Elan doesn't yet integrate with the IC-600. I have Vantage lighting, and you can not emulate a keypad. I have Mitsubishi HVAC which does not integrate with Elan. And a few more not worth mentioning. I have a very large installation with 13 TV's with G Remotes, Gate Control, Whole House Vantage lighting, several touch pads and all rely on G! being up. One day it crashed and completely lost it's programming. Had to be restored from backup.

My Hunter unit is an ICC-800 which was chosen at the time because it was supported - it's been discontinued - makes me wonder if it's replacement is compatible? I have a set of spares so I guess I'm good for now.
What model of Vantage do you have?
To integrate my Lennox HVAC gear I had to replace all of the thermostats with RCS units that were supported and could be retro-fitted.
I've never had a system crash the caused the programming to be lost. Is your system on a UPS?
The Hunter I-CORE is needed in our case because it is the only one that supports 30 irrigation zones that we need.
Not sure of the Vantage Model. This was new construction with new lighting system, so very recent. Elan said they supported it, but as it turned out they didn't support the latest version.
As for HVAC, the Mitsubishi is controlled by a central controller called an AG-150, there aren't thermostats.
We do have UPS. As it turned out, we weren't the only ones that had lost all their programming, it had happened before and they are looking it to it last we heard. But still scary.
That AG-150 (at least the one I found) doesn't look much like it's for use in a home.
If it's a product line aimed at businesses I'm not surprised the Elan doesn't support it.
The AG-150 web site page does say it supports a form of remote control. That's good.
But you would have to write a conversion program and then have something for the program to run on. That's not good.
In a few cases I have done just that, written a program to convert between a device that the home automation controller does understand to a device that it doesn't.
Was the loss of programming related to any event - like a lightning strike, loss of power, etc?

The basis for corneal shape change during contact lens wear
Carney, Leo G. (1976) The basis for corneal shape change during contact lens wear. American Journal of Optometry and Physiological Optics, 52(7), pp. 445-454.
Trials were conducted in which subjects wore various contact lenses while their corneas were exposed to gases of varying oxygen content. Measurements of central and peripheral corneal thickness and corneal topography show that corneal topography changes after contact lens wear can have at least two causes, an unevenly distributed corneal thickness change and/or a mechanical molding of the shape.

Tuesday Petition Turn-in Rally Set for City Hall. Over 8,000 Right To Vote On Desal Initiative Signatures Collected in Less Than 4 Months!
Santa Cruz – At 12:45pm on Tuesday, May 29, the Right To Vote on Desal (RTVOD) Coalition will rally at City Hall and turn-in over 8,000 petition signatures to City officials to tabulate and certify. The event will highlight the unprecedented level of citizen and water ratepayer support to place the historic measure on the November ballot.
In mid-February, volunteers began circulating the petition among City voters to obtain 5,442 valid signatures within 180 days required to qualify the initiative. Despite high-visibility attempts by both desal backers and political insiders to defeat the community-driven petition campaign (see attachments), the RTVOD Coalition surpassed the required number of signatures in less than 4 months.
If passed in the November election, the Charter Amendment would guarantee the community the right to make the final decision on the controversial regional seawater desal project. Most importantly, a Charter Amendment can only be approved by the people and cannot be reversed by the City Council.
If approved, the expandable desal factory would cost an estimated $180M merely to construct - - making it the most expensive and massive infrastructure project in the town's history. For the cash-strapped city, it would have far-reaching economic, political, environmental, and social impacts.
Many local observers expect that the linkage of water policy, UCSC growth, government transparency, and blue green job creation will be the central theme determining the outcome of the City Council elections in 2012 and 2014. The RTVOD initiative on the ballot will certainly guarantee that.

This is really great news. It shows we can exercise democratic government in Santa Cruz even when the entire Santa Cruz government establishment is against us. The next ballot measure should be rent control. With the petition process, we can circumvent the entrenched political interests who have been ruling this town for ages like their personal fiefdom.
This is the first step in taking our town back from political hacks and their enabling cvil servants.

I recommend submitting a public records request to City Clerk Bren Lehr for all written and email correspondence between the people and organizations on the list you mentioned and Santa Cruz staff/officials/office/agencies (regarding the Desal plant). I am certain they are all connected in perfidious ways.
If you are uncertain how to submit such a request, ask me how.
