Cable TV veteran Nagesh Chhabria announces new national MSO; $200 million investment
MUMBAI: The Indian cable TV market is about to witness the emergence of a major multisystem operator: one which is backed by industry veteran Nagesh Chhabria. The former Indusind Media CEO and promoter of Bhima Riddhi Digital Services, runs cable TV networks in several towns in Karnataka, Maharashtra, and some regions of the Goa and Gujarat border, and has been a powerful force in the cable TV distribution space.
Now Chhabria has signed an agreement with Atlas Consolidated LLC - a joint venture between Greenwich Equity Partners and Jagran Infra-Projects led by Sanjiv Mohan Gupta - to create a national MSO with about $200 million being pumped into it..
The Agreement was signed sometime back and the formalities for formation of the new MSO are in process. "The name of the MSO and its brand will be announced shortly," informs Chhabria.
Not disclosing the equity share Chhabria will hold in the JV, he says, "We may in the future, based on the decision of the new members of the board, plan to list the company."
The new entity plans to have a pan India network with a target base of six million subscribers in the next 18 months. And in order to achieve the target, it will take both: the organic and inorganic route. "When I say organic it will be through a fibre rollout and converting a large analog base into a digitised set up with a fixed revenue share in place," informs Chhabria.
On the inorganic route, the company may apply two models: one, buy out the last mile, so it has complete control and two, look to have a majority stake in an existing network with a ready base. "We have numerous tie-ups in place which will enable us to reach to our targets in the required timelines," opines Chhabria.
In late May Chhabria acquired a 50 per cent stake in Mumbai-based Bhawani Rajesh Cable & Digitech Services, with the option to take it up to 74 per cent.
The JV will also grow its business through the acquisition route. "The networks we are acquiring will be announced shortly. Ground level assessments are taking place as we speak," he adds.
The new entity has chalked out a foolproof plan for its successful launch. "We have a 45 cities rollout plan which will be announced shortly," says he.
According to a recent Deloitte report, currently there are 80 million non-TV households and Chhabria will at the appropriate time look at tapping those households as well. "Eventually most of the non TV households in the future will have screens to consume entertainment and data."
To start operations, initially 25 digital headends across the length and breadth of the country will be set up. "It's likely that in eight to 12 weeks from now the new company will be in place. There will be a simultaneous rollout in all parts of the country," he informs.
Greenwich Equity is an emerging markets fund, based in the United States with a focus primarily on infrastructure and media. Jagran has a storied pedigree in the production and entertainment space. Atlas was created as a joint venture between Greenwich Equity and Jagran Infra and is the holding company for all of Greenwich and Jagran's investments in the cable and media space.
Atlas Consolidated LLC managing director Sanjiv Mohan Gupta says, "We plan to be one of the significant players in the cable TV industry similar to what we did in the other media business."
Adds Greenwich Equity Group managing director Suhas Kundapoor, "We are excited to be in this space at this time and find that there is tremendous potential in this industry."
What is interesting to note is that the announcement for the JV has come at a time when the general sentiment towards cable TV industry is negative. Chhabria is quick to respond, "Sentiments are like seasons. Sometimes sunny, sometimes gloomy. But investments are made on fundamentals. The fundamentals of cable TV industry are in place and have tremendous potential that will be unlocked in the coming future."
For him, digitisation has thrown open huge opportunities and set top boxes with the right middleware give opportunities for advertisers and content marketers. "Beside subscriptions, we are geared to deploy numerous Video and Non - Video VAS along with Broadband services," he adds.
Chhabria and his company currently have a subscriber base of one million which will be brought into the new entity initially. "Cable TV industry in India still requires 140 million boxes to completely digitise the universe. We firmly believe there is tremendous potential in aggregating direct subscribers in phase III and phase IV. We are in talks with numerous players in the market to acquire their networks," feels Chhabria.
The MSO will not stop at the $200 million investment or at the six million subscriber base. "This is just the beginning. Future plans will be shared at the appropriate juncture," concludes Chhabria.

Cumbia Spins Around the World
"These posters contain lead paint, you know." Sonido Martines turned to me. "Do you know how much the postage must have cost? He's crazy..."
We stood in the aftermath of a cumbia party at D'Antigua in Jackson Heights, Queens. Sonido is a record dealer and DJ from Buenos Aires who lives between Bolivia and Peru. The 2"x4" posters advertising the party were also from Peru –- Piero, the party promoter, had ordered them from his home country at great expense.
These toxic yellows were simply the most tangible evidence of Piero's full-blown cumbia fanaticism. (I love the right kind of fanatics, particularly when, like Piero, they are also excellent cooks.) He moves comfortably between two worlds of cumbia -– the genre's massive populist base, which can be found in any sizable Latin community, and the budding blog-scented 'new cumbia' world of mashups and remixes and gringo curiosity.
By inviting Sonido and me to play the music (along with M.A.K.U. Soundsystem, a Colombian fusion band with a kick-ass percussion section) at an outer-borough club that typically caters to rock en español and salsa, Piero was pushing everybody outside of their comfort zones. Locals hoping to catch Galician celtic rock bands (think bagpipes playing ska) got (blessedly) soaked in cumbia. Cumbia fans who had never been to this corner of Jackson Heights had the borders of their city enlarged a tiny bit. The owner seemed happy; friends from down the street stayed until the end.
The night felt guided by love, for sound or the way it can bring unlike bodies into the same space and get them moving, eyes open, into an uncertain night. Cumbia's many faces can cut a nice transversal like that, especially in cities like L.A., New York, and Chicago, where long-time followers don't necessarily rub shoulders with newcomer fans in any other context.
As the party was starting, two guys outside picked a fight. Their buddies egged them on. Dude A whipped off his belt and started trying to beat Dude B with it. They spilled into passing traffic. Cars honked, cops came. As the party ended, all was still in Jackson Heights, except the empanada spots, which were jumping (although my memories get fuzzy at this point.) Piero drove us back to Brooklyn. At 36th and 2nd we stopped by a Mexican taco truck (with fiery hot sauce) which hadn't bothered to paint over the logos of its former owners (Knishes!). And a radio in the background blasted cumbia.
Jace Clayton (DJ/rupture) is a DJ, writer, and label owner who plays gigs worldwide.
Bonus! Download this gangsta cumbia track and this remix of a classic Peruvian cumbia group from the compilation Nueva Cumbia Argentina -- The Buenos Aires Implosion. And download this tune from NYC's own La Cumbiagra.

I live the UK. I recently had fertlity treatment in California and encountered some problems with the clinic.
I contacted Mr Bisnar and although my case was too small to take on he talked me through negotiations with the clinic at no charge.
I finally managed to get all my fees back from the clinic and would have not been able to do it without Mr Bisnar as I knew nothing about California law.
He is a genuine, helpful and kind man who I can promise has your best interests at heart.

Since there is no national Level 2 (or faster) charging infrastructure the way there is a gasoline network, Pike compiled its data by geographic region and even broke down the numbers one city at a time. As Pike states:
Seems logical to us. So, where will all the plug-ins call home? Well, according to Pike, New York and California will lead the way at the state level. Looking at individual cities, Pike says New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Chicago will be the U.S.' top five plug-in loving metropolitan areas. No big surprises there, but here's a bit of a shocker: relative to population, Raleigh, NC will lead the nation in registered plug-ins by 2017.As government officials and utility managers plan for the arrival of grid-connected vehicles, they need to understand where those vehicles are going to be located and what the impact could be.
What type of grid load will utilities have to cope with in 2017? Well, Pike says that in the case of Southern California Edison's service territory, which is expected to be the U.S.' most plug-in vehicle-heavy region, the maximum grid load will be 498 MW in 2017. To handle the plug-ins and all the other increased energy demands, SCE is investing a lot of money to upgrade its system.
September 23, 2011
Sales of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are expected to accelerate rapidly over the next several years, posting a compound annual growth rate of 43% between 2011 and 2017, with annual sales reaching almost 360,000 vehicles by 2017. Adoption of PEVs will vary significantly by geography. Unsurprisingly, the most populous states will see the highest sales, with California, New York and Florida recording the highest PEV sales over that same period. As a percentage of total vehicle sales, however, smaller states will lead the way. According to a recent report from Pike Research, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, D.C., and Delaware will all be among the top states for PEV penetration.
Hawaii, which typically has among the highest gas prices in the nation, will be the top state, with PEVs representing 6.3% of total light-duty vehicle sales in 2017. The second highest penetration rate will be in California (5.4%), followed by Oregon (5.4%), Washington, D.C. (4.6%), and Delaware (4.5%).
"PEV penetration will be influenced by several factors," says senior analyst Dave Hurst. "Demographics, consumer attitudes, and available infrastructure will all help determine the uptake of PEVs in different areas."
In addition, because of manufacturers' rollout schedules, the availability of PEVs will vary widely by state and by region. New York and California today account for more than half of the available PEVs in the United States, while Southern states like Mississippi, Arkansas, and Alabama, as well as largely rural states such as Wyoming and Alaska, have very few plug-in electric vehicles available. This means that certain utilities, such as Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric in California and New York's Consolidated Edison, will need to accelerate their preparations for significant rollouts of PEVs compared to their counterparts in other regions.
Consumer attitudes toward electric vehicles differ from state to state, as well. Using data from Pike Research's Electric Vehicle Customer Survey, as well as qualitative indicators, Pike Research developed an "Index of Positive Opinion" toward PEVs. Scores ranged from 4.36, for Northern California, to 0.07 (effectively, a negative overall opinion) in North Dakota.
Pike Research's report, "Electric Vehicle Geographic Forecasts", provides data and forecasts for the plug-in electric vehicle market at the state and metropolitan statistical area levels. The report also includes forecasts for plug-in electric vehicle sales within selected electric utility service territories. The data includes sales forecasts from 2011 to 2017 at each geographic level, and analysis of major trends in the forecasts. An Executive Summary of the report is available for free download on the firm's website.
Pike Research is a market research and consulting firm that provides in-depth analysis of global clean technology markets.

Re: nonlinear pde system
It depends on what form the functions f and g take but for a general
solution probably the most straight forward way would be to write down the
system of equations in finite difference form and solve use the sparse
matrix solver in V5. You can then iterate at each time increment to the
desired level of tolerable error.
Have a look through some books on finite differences if you are not familiar
with this. Once you get the problem in FD form the sparse solver will be
your friend.
To give a blatant plug I have a book and software out in April describing
solutions to electrochemical problems which in their most basic form
(assumed absence of convection and no coupled chemical reactions) are
parabolic PDEs with discontinuous and/or time dependent boundaries.
Solutions to nonlinear problems are demonstrated. Also for some PDEs (in
electrochemistry at least) it is possible to reshape the problem to a
tridiagonal form in which each diagonal element is a square matrix (But it
depends on the exact nature of the problem). The solution is obtained by a
variation of the Thomas algorithm (i.e. The algorithm used in the
Tridiagonal solver in the addons).

Target: Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and the President of the People's Republic of China
Goal: Invest in a plan to protect China's giant panda bears
China's determination to protect its endangered giant pandas is in conflict with its own changing forestry policies. According to conservationists, Chinese foresting could damage or destroy up to 15% of the giant panda's habitat. Over the last decade, demand for timber and paper has soared and forests cannot keep up with the orders. Because of this demand, China has moved most of its operations into plantations instead of natural forests, and is also importing from other nations. However, the foresting that continues is threatens to push the giant pandas even closer towards the brink of extinction.
Although China owns all of its forests, there are plots that are privately owned by individuals. The forest tenure reform policies will allow people to sell their forest rights to large-scale companies who will commercialize their share of the country's forests. Although it is just an experimental project for now, it will eventually affect the larger population of animals, including the pandas that depend on the forest to live.
Most of the pandas in China are protected, but there are still pandas that are living in unguarded areas of the forest. Conservationists have suggested that the only thing that will save the panda's habitat would be an investment from the government. Therefore, please sign this petition to tell the Chinese government to do what they can to save the China's giant pandas.
Dear Xi Jinping, the President of the People's Republic of China,
China has done a great job at preserving the Giant panda population and has increased the species population by 40% since the 1980's. It would be a sad to see all that go to waste and for these animals to suffer just because of a proposed plan to increase the economy. Destroying 15% of the panda's habitat would cause a devastating decline in their population. The giant panda could lose fifteen percent of its habitat in China under its current forestry policies, which are controlled by local government.
The pandas need our help to survive and prosper. Please protect the animals that are defenseless toward these types of economical policies and bills. Please do what you can to save China's pandas from unprotected forests. They are worth the investment and protection.

There was once a junior corps in the Philadelphia area called the A.K.Street Post. The group won the National Championship at the New York City World's Fair in 1940.
However, due to WWII, the corps disbanded as the young men joined the service. When the war was over, they went to the director of Street Post, Abe Street, and his wife Mrs. Virginia (MeMa) Street, and explained that they would like to start a senior corps since they were all over age. One of the men who was instrumental in starting this group was William Hooton.
The small group of men then decided on a new name and came up with one of their fallen comrades, Cpl. Frederick W. Reilly. However, this was only the beginning of one man's dream, which later became a reality.
This all took place in 1946 and the dream came full circle in 2005 as Bill Hooten's legend continues. Yes, the man became known as "Wild" Bill Hooton of the famous Reilly Raiders Senior Drum & Bugle Corps — the only senior corps ever to win both VFW and American Legion National titles.
Wild Bill was also an innovator and a man ahead of his time. As a drum major, he dared to be different by coming on to the field at different times with various gimmicks such as entering the stadium on a white horse. Another time he was on a motorcycle and once even being lowered to the field by a helicopter.
He was always on the edge and always brought out the best of Reilly with their drill, music and his wild antics. When the corps disbanded many years ago, his dream had not been fulfilled.
In 1994, a group of the old members got together to start an alumni corps. Once again, some familiar names came together. The most notable one was Robert Adair, a long-time friend of Wild Bill and an ex-Osmond Cadet.
Jim Gallagher, a former Liberty Bell Cadet, and John Tully, were both taught by Adair and Hooton. They contacted Adair. Bob said, "I've got the music, you get the bodies."
Next thing, they had a new corps in a new era. Three decades of men came together, from the 1946 corps all the way up to the 1965 corps. The new alumni corps went up to the Boston area twice, in 1995 and 1996, but on the second trip to Chelmsford, MA, a strange turn of events started to take shape.
Reilly's business manager at the time got pretty friendly with the motel manager and found out that he plays golf with Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Airlines. The BM's wheels started to turn and he thought, yes, maybe this dream can still come true. Various attempts were made to set up a trip to Ireland, but to no avail. The alumni corps was still too new and not seasoned enough to take on this massive task.
In the winter of 2003-2004, a new regime took over and another ex-Liberty Bell member, Jim McDevitt, picked up the ball and started to make huge strides. In one full year, he and the Reilly committee, headed by the new director Frank Neill, ex-Yearsley Post Cadets, had everything lined up and ready to go.
On Sunday, March 13, 2005, the dream finally started to come true as the corps embarked on their trip to Dublin, Ireland, to march down the main street in the heart of the city, O'Connell Street, on St. Paddy's Day, March 17.
The corps landed at Shannon Airport and spent several nights at the Killarney Towers Hotel doing some sightseeing and shopping. The corps took a tour to the Dingle Peninsula (this is were the movie "Ryan's Daughter" was filmed). This area is located on the western side of Ireland, which happens to have tropical-type weather. Occasionally we saw "palm" trees around the area.
The five bus drivers took the group from Shannon to Limerick, then to Killarney, then over to Galway. They went through such towns and villages as Adare with thatched cottages, Newcastle West, Abbeyfeale, Castleisland, West Cork, the small village of Blarney with its castle and the famous Blarney Stone, then through Fermoy, Mitchelstown and Cahir, Cashel, the county of Laois and into Dublin.
All five buses pulled up to the hotel on Wednesday afternoon, March 16. This time it was the Burlington Hotel in downtown Dublin. All 198 members and spouses were in rare form and one could feel the electricity and anxiety building. The corps and support group were ready. The committee had their meetings and the bus drivers were all advised on the Thursday schedule.
A dream was about to be fulfilled. The next morning, everyone was up at 0700 for breakfast and the members had tont, #10 of the musical groups, nobody really knew what they were to have in the line of March.
Then the orders were given to line up. Members had some idea because McDevitt had handouts for the different sections, but not an overall scope of the entire corps. We had two members from the Yankee Rebels filling in with the honor guard and eight members from the Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights, which included four young ladies.
The corps' two drum majors for the day were John Lundell, normally the honor guard captain, and Joe Cicippio, ex-Nuss O'Hara Todd Invaders from Norristown, PA. Joe is also a war hero by being held captive for seven years in Beirut, which helped to compel him to write the book "Chains to Roses."
Once the corps was lined up, to their amazement they had two drum majors, 10 in the honor guard (NO rifles, pistols or sabers were allowed), 12 silks, 19 in the drum line, with 10 across, 42 horns, and yes — 10 guidons. The balance was there and the corps sounded great.
As they were getting ready to pull out, the dream had made the complete circle. Low and behold, out from a horse trailer came a white horse. Wild Bill's dream, way back in the late 1950s, was to take Reilly to Ireland and lead them down the main street on a white horse.
Now, 50 years later, his dream was fulfilled, but there was still more. His wife, Carol, who marches in the horn line, brought some of his ashes with her and sprinkled them as we marched past the judging area. The horse and ashes not only honored Wild Bill, but ALL the members who gave their lives in the war and ALL our fallen comrades from the Reilly Raiders.
The parade route was awesome. The entire two miles had people 10 to 15 deep on BOTH sides of the street. One thing that is so interesting, if you watch the Olympics, you'll know. The people did clap at times, but they mostly whistled.
At times between the clapping and whistling, corps members could hardly hear the commands or even communicate between themselves. They even did this when they came to parade rest and to attention.
It was a real experience and one no one in the organization will ever forget. In the hotel and at the parade was a priest from the Boston area who at one time was stationed at St. Kevin's in Dorchester, MA, home of the St. Kevin's Emerald Knights. His name is Father Thomas J. Reilly, no relation.
He made a comment that the Reilly Raiders corps was the ONLY musical group to play Irish music and that when the corps approached the judging area, the announcer made a comment, "Now here comes a very serious looking group, and from the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the Reilly Raiders of Willow Grove, PA."
The next two events on the agenda kind of went hand-in-hand. The first was a visit to the Castle of Ireland, the Guinness Brewery. Everybody got a free pint. It's very interesting that you can view the entire city from the top of the tower while drinking your one or two or, you know, those pints.
When the corps left Dublin, they went to Bunratty, County Clare, where they had a farewell dinner and banquet with entertainment in the Bunratty Medieval Castle, which was built in 1425. What a way to end a dream, winning the drum corps division in Dublin, receiving a plaque for participating, the people the group met, and the friendships that they have made.
This is something that everyone involved will never forget, especially fulfilling the "Impossible dream."

ASP.NET 4.5 brings many new desirable features to upgrade the functionality of previous versions.Here I will discuss with you one of them, the feature of new the FileUpload control in ASP.NET 4.5. The FileUpload control in ASP.NET extends it's functionality by supporting the upload of multiple files at once.Prior to this latest version, the FileUpload control only supported a single file at a time, but version ASP.NET version 4.5 solves this issue very well. Now, the FileUpload control is built to support HTML 5, therefore it is only supported in browsers supporting HTML5. For other browsers it will work like a normal file upload control in ASP.NET.A new attribute that comes with the ASP.NET 4.5 FileUplaod control is that:AllowMultiple: It takes either true or false.In order to support multiple file uploads, set AllowMulitple="true" other than false.This attribute is for the browsers that support multiple files to be uploaded and for this purpose it renders the necessary HTML5 attribute.In addition to this control, some new properties have been included to support code-behind coding.HasFiles: Check whether FileUpload control has multiple files or not.PostedFiles: Basically used to get all the files from the FileUpload control in the iteration.Both properties will help to work with the mulitple selected files in Code-Behind coding (C#).After the preceding overview of the theory, let's proceed to implement this cool feature in an application.First, in the ASPX page declare a FileUpload control.Remember: Set the AllowMultiple attribute to "true" to enable the multiple file upload feature.<asp:FileUpload runat="server" ID="UploadImages" AllowMultiple="true" />Now, the following HTML is rendered in the browser:
<input type="file" multiple="multiple" name="FileUpload1" id="FileUpload1" />The AllowMultiple attribute renders multiple attributes in the HTML 5.The complete code for .aspx file will looks like:
 <asp:FileUpload runat="server" ID="UploadImages" AllowMultiple="true" /> <asp:Button runat="server" ID="uploadedFile" Text="Upload" OnClick="uploadFile_Click" /> <asp:Label ID="listofuploadedfiles" runat="server" />

You will see that I have attached a button's click event. So, now start to write C# for this.In the following code I will use HasFiles and PostedFiles properties that we will see in the preceding section.protected void uploadFile_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){ if (UploadImages.HasFiles) { foreach (HttpPostedFile uploadedFile in UploadImages.PostedFiles) { uploadedFile.SaveAs(System.IO.Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Images/"), uploadedFile.FileName)); listofuploadedfiles.Text += String.Format("{0}
", uploadedFile.FileName); } }} In the code above I have saved each image in the Images folder of the web application from the PostedFiles collection. Now, run the application and see the output.Select multiple files and click on the Upload button and it will show you the list of files that have been uploaded.

Visualising Music with Impromptu
Gerber, Anna M. & Brown, Andrew R. (2006) Visualising Music with Impromptu. In Australasian Computer Music Conference, July 2006, Adelaide, Australia.
This paper discusses our experiments with a method of creating visual representations of music using a graphical library for Impromptu that emulates and builds on Logo's turtle graphics. We explore the potential and limitations of this library for visualising music, and describe some ways in which this simple system can be utilised to assist the musician by revealing musical structure are demonstrated.

It is important to find a doctor that does this often and knows how to place it . It will last longer and look more natural if you have the right doctor. READ MORE

POCATELLO, Idaho – The Northern Arizona women's tennis team continued its road trip as they traveled to Pocatello to face Idaho State. The Lumberjacks were able to carry the momentum from yesterday's match with Weber State into today's match and the Lumberjacks walked away with the 5-0 victory over the Bengals to improve to 6-2 in the Big Sky.
"I think we executed extremely well today," said Johanna Vang. "We stuck to our game plan and as a team we stepped up and I am so proud of the girls."
The Lumberjacks took two doubles matches from the Bengals as NAU came away with the doubles point. At the No. 1 spot, Emelia Box and Hailey Rochin defeated Marian Tangarife and Laura Theus 8-5 for the duo's second straight win in doubles. Vang and Sarah Maria Spruch got back to their winning ways as they came away with the 8-2 victory over Idaho State's Svenja Tegtmeier and Wiebke Boeckmann, which was their first win in the duo's last four doubles matches. Tatum Rochin and Jordan Denesik were up 6-3 as the No. 3 team but did not finish due to the Lumberjacks already clinching the doubles point.
The Lumberjacks went unbeaten in singles and came away with three wins from Vang, Denesik and Hailey Rochin to give the Lumberjacks their second straight win.
Vang continues to lead the charge for the Lumberjacks at the No. 1 spot as grabbed her second straight win in singles as she took down Marian Tangarife 6-2, 6-1. That gave the native of Sweden her 10th win this season. Denesik dominated her match at the No. 3 position with the 6-1, 6-1 victory over Svenja Tegtmeier. The Lumberjacks' final win came from Hailey Rochin at No. 4 as she took down Madelyn Weltzin 6-4, 6-4 for her eighth win in singles this season.
"We have improved so much this season and I am excited to see what we can do at conference," said Vang.
With the win, the Lumberjacks are in a good spot to make the Big Sky Championships as they currently sit tied for third in the conference. The Lumberjacks will conclude today's doubleheader against Utah State with play beginning at 5 p.m.

Separating Grounds & Neutrals in Subpanels
New to the website here. I have a question about subpanels; I understand that they are supposed to have a separate four wire feed, and are not supposed to have the neutral and ground bars bonded. My question is, I have seen a few instances where 3 wires (hot+hot+neutral...no ground) were ran to a detached structure, and a ground rod was driven at this separate structure. In the panels the neutral and ground bars were bonded together. What exactly is dangerous about this situation?
Those are fine in a detached structure with a separate ground - either a rod or plate in the ground.
Cannot do that with a panel that is bonded from the main service.:no:
Or does this mean that any instance where neutral and ground are bonded in the main panel, there can never be a bond in a sub panel?
Thanks again.
We can either ground a separate building using a feeder from the main with a separate ground plate or rod OR run the ground from the main service without a separate plate or rod. As long as all the grounding procedures are followed.
The ground rod does not act as an equipment grounding conductor. The ground rods are for lightening protection. This is why a separate equipment grounding conductor is require for a subpanel. Keep in mind that if the feed to the detached subpanel is in continuous metal conduit (EMT/Rigid), the conduit can act as the equipment grounding conductor. In this case, only three wires would be running to the sub.
So, there are a couple of structures on my property (a barn & workshop) that have subpanels from the main back at the house; no grounding conductors were run from the main to these subs (only 2 hots and a neutral), and they are not in EMT, grounding rods were driven and neutrals/grounds are bonded at these subpanels. Is there any risk of shock or other fault problems?
Alright, Thanks again for all the answers. :thumbsup:
Kyle...where are you located? It's obvious that there are some differences in code between the US and Canada and it would suit you well to disregard information form the one which doesn't apply. It's a matter of what is right and wrong, rather than differing opinions. In the states, unless you are doing an electrical remodel you do not have to change existing wiring.
Located in the states, my main concern was with safety, i.e. I don't want the metal frames of appliances shocking me when I use them.
Your installations may have been code compliant when they were installed.

Dior hits the Paris catwalk without John Galliano
By Astrid Wendlandt
PARIS (Reuters) - Christian Dior will on Friday become the biggest fashion brand in recent history to present a catwalk collection at Paris Fashion Week without a star designer to applaud.
Dior -- the jewel in the couture crown of the world's biggest luxury group LVMH -- fired chief designer John Galliano three days ago for making anti-Semitic comments in a video where he expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler.
Cancelling the runway presentation would have meant the loss of an entire collection in which the company had invested heavily as well as the loss of a season's worth of orders from buyers sent by retail outlets from around the world.
While Dior was quick to part ways with Galliano after 15 years at the top of one of the world's best known fashion labels, industry experts did not expect the couture house to announce the British designer's replacement on Friday.
Possible successors at Dior that have been mooted include Riccardo Tisci, designer at Givenchy, Dior's sister brand within the LVMH group.
In Galliano's absence, Dior's design team is expected to bow at the end of the show to whomever it is that turns up.
Fashionistas said they would pay close attention to whether the event would be attended by the usual group of celebrities such as French actress Marion Cotillard, who has been the face of Dior, or LVMH head Bernard Arnault.
Arnault, who founded LVMH, usually attends the Dior show. Continued...

WRAPUP 5-U.S. to issue new Ebola care guidelines, watch lists to shrink
(Recasts, adds statement from Duncan's fiancee, paragraphs 15-16)
By Erwin Seba
GALVESTON, Texas Oct 19 (Reuters) - The United States will issue strict new guidelines telling American health workers to cover their skin and hair when dealing with Ebola patients, a top health official said on Sunday, while some of the dozens of people being watched for possible exposure to the virus are expected to be cleared.
In Texas, a lab worker who spent much of a Caribbean holiday cruise in isolation tested negative for the deadly virus and left the Carnival Magic liner with other passengers after it docked at Galveston early on Sunday morning.
The new guidelines for healthcare workers and the precautions taken for the cruise passenger reflected widespread anxiety over Ebola in the United States, including calls from some lawmakers for a travel ban on West Africa.
The worst outbreak on record of the virus has killed more than 4,500 people, mostly in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf urged stronger international action to control the epidemic, saying on Sunday the disease was unleashing an economic catastrophe that will leave a "lost generation" of young West Africans.
Belgium announced on Sunday it would screen people arriving at its largest airport from West Africa for signs of fever. In Spain, the government said Teresa Romero, the nurse who contracted Ebola while caring for two infected priests, appeared to be free of the disease.
The new guidelines being developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would increase protection for medical workers caring for Ebola patients. The new measures were prompted by anxiety after two nurses were infected with the virus, which is spread by contact with bodily fluids of sick people and so makes health workers especially vulnerable.

Gearing Up For Historic U.S. Supreme Court Arguments In Texas Sodomy Case, Lambda Legal Announces Unprecedented Series of Town Hall Meetings In States Nationwide With Sodomy Laws
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(New York, Tuesday, January 7, 2003) — With the U.S. Supreme Court set to hear arguments in Lambda Legal's historic case challenging Texas's "Homosexual Conduct" law this Spring, Lambda Legal today announced plans for town hall meetings and other community presentations in states that still have sodomy laws, which typically criminalize oral and anal sex and are widely used to justify discrimination against lesbians and gay men.
The series of community meetings will kick off next Tuesday with a town hall in Birmingham, Alabama, where Lambda Legal is joining co-sponsors Equality Alabama, the Birmingham chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays and the Alabama chapter of the National Lawyers Guild. Other dates, locations and cosponsoring organizations will be announced in the weeks ahead.
"Since the day the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it will hear our case, there's been a tremendous amount of interest and energy from LGBT people and straight allies nationwide who want to seize this historic moment with us," said Hector Vargas, director of Lambda Legal's Southern Regional Office. "We're looking forward to working within communities that are affected by sodomy laws to increase understanding of this case, the many ways sodomy laws hurt gay people, and the need to get rid of these laws once and for all."
In partnership with a wide range of organizations, Lambda Legal's town hall meetings and community presentations will run throughout the Winter and Spring. To help educate the public about the harms sodomy laws cause and to empower people to help fight these laws, Lambda Legal is working with community groups in Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Utah.
"In some towns, we're having small gatherings with a couple of dozen community leaders, while in other areas we'll have much larger town hall meetings with the general public," said Lee Taft, director of Lambda Legal's South Central Regional Office. "But our work in all of these 13 states is grounded in the same core principle: Sodomy laws are a danger to gay Americans, and together we can eliminate them."
Sodomy laws are used to justify discrimination against lesbians and gay men people in everyday life; they're invoked in denying employment to gay people, in refusing custody or visitation for gay parents, and even in intimidating gay people out of exercising their free speech rights. Recent high-profile cases specifically relying at least in part on such laws include: a Mississippi man who was denied custody of his own child; a Georgia woman who was rejected for government employment; a lesbian minister in Puerto Rico who was told not to testify at a legislative hearing; two lesbian foster mothers in Texas whose foster child was taken from their home; and a North Carolina man whose two sons were taken away from him.
In the Supreme Court case against the Texas law, Lambda Legal represents John Lawrence and Tyron Garner, who were arrested in Lawrence's Houston home and jailed overnight after officers responding to a false report found the men engaged in private, consensual sex. Once convicted, they were forced to pay fines, are now considered sex offenders in several states and are disqualified from working in dozens of professions. In early December, the Supreme Court announced that it will hear arguments on whether the Texas law violates the federal Constitution's guarantee that laws must protect and apply to people equally, as well as whether it violates the right to privacy. In 1986, the Supreme Court ruled that Georgia's law banning consensual sodomy did not violate privacy rights. In bringing the Texas case, Lambda Legal asked the justices to reconsider that ruling, which has been used against lesbians and gay men for almost two decades.

NZXT Tempest 410 Elite Mid-Tower Chassis Review
Since 2008, NZXT's Tempest line-up has become well-known for offering a good bang for the buck. All of the models released to date have bold designs, but nothing over-the-top. The latest variant, the 410 Elite, focuses on efficient airflow, and includes a front honeycomb design and room for a dual-rad out-of-the-box.

How to Get Copies of Tax Returns
Why you need it: "You'll need these to secure a competitive rate on a loan or for any real estate transactions," says Zenna Lim, a broker at the Barron Mortgage Group, in New York City. And your accountant will need them to prepare your taxes. "We usually ask for the tax returns for at least one year prior," says Jackie Perlman of H&R Block in Kansas City, Missouri.
Where to get a new one: Start with your accountant or tax preparer, who usually keeps copies of your returns on file. You can also get copies of federal returns directly from the Internal Revenue Service. Visit irs.gov to download the required forms, or call 800-829-1040 to request them.
What you need to get it: Fill out and mail in IRS form 4506. The cost is $39 for each return requested.
How long it takes: It could take up to 60 days to get the returns, so plan ahead. (It's the IRS―what did you expect?)


text: Well today I saw my friend after I had just gotten out of class. He followed me onto a service road, which i usually take anyway, and he proceeded to try and pass me. Since I knew he was going to do this I was in second at around 3k. It wasnt easy but I still beat him by a half car length. Not bad considering he had the jump and we were form a roll and we all know that racing from a role is like masturbation. Someone has that quote on here, I think its Lemon Herb. Anyway we come to a stop sign and he honks and we take off. It was a decent launch I burnt my clutch but it wasnt bad. I killed him pretty bad and I shut down at 40 cause the speed limit was 35 and I already had him by a few car lengths. Oh well it was my first kill so I figured Id post it.

The lord advocate, Colin Boyd, announced he was to step down with immediate effect after serving as Scotland's top prosecutor for six years because "it was time for me to move on".
His decision prompted claims by opposition parties in Holyrood that he was a casualty of the Sheila McKie controversy, which is being investigated by a Scottish parliamentary committee.
Ms McKie, a former police sergeant, was cleared of perjury in a murder case after serious doubts were raised about the accuracy of fingerprint evidence against her. Earlier this year, the Scottish executive paid Ms McKie £750,000 in an out-of-court settlement.
The Scottish National Party MSP Alex Neil, who has campaigned for Ms McKie, said the resignation was "inevitable in the face of his total mishandling" of the case. Lord Boyd had also represented "a far too 'political' appointment. The lord advocate should be a far more impartial figure, and I hope that will be borne in mind when it comes to choosing a replacement."
Figures in the Scottish bar were sceptical about those claims since it was some time since the most critical disclosures in the McKie case were made. Lord Boyd told colleagues last year he intended to resign.
Lord Boyd was also linked to other, equally controversial, cases, such as the conviction in 1991 of the Libyan Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, for the Lockerbie bombing in 1988. His conviction is up for appeal.
He told the first minister, Jack McConnell, that he now wanted to play a fuller part in the House of Lords and take work in the private sector. Mr McConnell told him: "You leave a legacy of which you should be unashamedly proud."

Japanese has once again taken the top spot as the language with the most blog posts, followed by English, according to a report released on Thursday by blog search site Technorati.
"In terms of blog posts by language, Japanese retakes the top spot from our last report, with 37 percent (up from 33 percent) of the posts followed closely by English at 36 percent (down from 39 percent). Additionally there was movement in the middle of the top 10 languages, highlighted by Italian overtaking Spanish for the number four spot," concludes the "State of the Live Web" report, formerly called "State of the Blogosphere." "The newcomer to the top 10 languages is Farsi, just joining the list at #10." Chinese has the third spot.
Other noteworthy statistics: there are 70 million blogs and about 120,000 new ones come online each day; there are 1.5 million posts per day; and more than one-fifth of the 100 most popular Web sites are blogs. The blogs are led by: Engadget, Boing Boing, Gizmodo, TechCrunch, The Huffington Post, Lifehacker and Daily Kos.
And, as can be expected, the hyper growth of blogs is slowing. "Since our last State of the Blogosphere report in October 2006, we've seen a slowing in the doubling of the size of the blogosphere," the report says. "This shouldn't be surprising, as we're dealing with the law of large numbers--it takes a lot more growth to double from 35 million blogs to 70 million (which took about 320 days) than when it doubled from 5 million to 10 million blogs (which took about 180 days)."

As above poster said,
Ellipsis will see a 1.2 update fairly shortly. After that the next major update, 1.3 has a lot of view types in progress, we asked in the sticky thread what peoples favourite veiw types are and we're going to 'borrow' them for ellipsis 1.3!
It's more than likely that once thats done Ellipsis will only be maintained then and we can move onto our next project...

Ion microprobe evidence for the mechanisms of stable isotope retrogression in high-grade metamorphic rocks

Retrograde interdiffusion is widely proposed as the dominant factor in producing the stable isotopic fractionation among minerals in slowly cooled igneous and metamorphic rocks. Mineral zonation consistent with interdiffusion of stable isotopes has never been directly observed, however, leaving doubt as to the mechanism responsible for the bulk-mineral isotopic compositions commonly measured. Ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotope ratios in magnetite were combined with conventional bulk mineral analyses and diffusion modeling to document the relationship between mineral zonation and the mechanism of retrogression inferred from bulk mineral data. Two samples of magnetitebearing, quartzo-feldspathic Lyon Mountain gneiss from the Adirondack mountains, N.Y. were studied in detail. Conventional stable isotope analysis of both samples indicates that isotope thermometers are discordant and were reset by as much as 200°C from the estimated peak temperature of 750°C. The relative order of apparent temperatures recorded by various thermometers differs between the two samples, however, with Tqtz-fsp≫Tmt-qtz and Tmt-fsp in one sample and Tqtz-fsp<Tmt-qtz and Tmt-fsp in the other. Diffusion modeling using the Fast Grain Boundary model shows that the former pattern of apparent temperatures is consistent with closed system interdiffusion during cooling, whereas the latter is not. The modeling predicts that 0.5 mm diameter magnetite grains common to this rock type will contain isotopic zonation of 1‰ (rims lower in δ18O than cores), and that the cores of smaller (0.1 mm) grains will be similarly lower than to the cores of large (0.5 mm) grains. Ion microprobe analysis reveals that the zoning patterns of magnetite grains from the first sample contain clear core to rim zonation in multiple grains (Δcore-rim=1.1±0.4‰) and predicted grain-size vs core composition variations, consistent with diffusion-controlled resetting of bulk mineral fractionations. In contrast, the second sample shows irregular inter-and intra-granular variations over an 8‰ range, consistent with open system alteration. These results provide direct documentation of the importance of interdiffusion in affecting stable isotope distributions in slowly cooled rocks. The correlations of bulk-mineral resetting with zonation show that bulk mineral data, when interpreted with detailed modeling, can be used to determinate what processes controlling retrogression.

Kovar Named Big Sky Field Athlete of the Week
By SUU Strategic Communication
Related Links
CEDAR CITY, Utah - Jan. 15 - Southern Utah thrower Kayla Kovar earned her first Big Sky Athlete of the Week award after qualifying for the conference championship in both the shot put and weight throw at NAU's Lumberjack Team Challenge.
Kovar opened the indoor track & field season with a third-place finish in the weight throw at NAU, recording a mark of 57-0.75. The junior went on to place fifth in the shot put with a mark of 48-6. As the Big Sky conference requires athletes to meet specified qualifying standards in order to compete at the conference championship, Kovar guaranteed her place among the field as she exceeded the standard marks of 13.40m (43-11.75) in the shot put and 16.40m (53-9.75) in the weight throw.
The Thunderbird teams will split between competition at New Mexico and Northern Arizona this weekend, with Kovar on the squad traveling to Albuquerque, N.M., for the Lobo's Cherry & Silver Invitational on Jan 18-19.

The spokesman added that the U.S. and British warplanes flew over Artawi, Bissiya, Lassif, Jeleba, Shatra, Rafa'I, Qala'at Suker, Samawa, Afik, Diwaniya, Souq el-Shyoukh, Mishkhab, and Shanafiya.
Iraqi missile force and anti-aircraft artillery drove the "enemy planes" back to their bases in Kuwait, the spokesman revealed.
Meanwhile, U.S and British warplanes, on the same day, carried out 14 sorties from bases in Turkey, the agency added, and flew over Zakho, Dohuk, Bebo, Amadiya, Aqra, Rawandouz and Arbil. (Albawaba.com)

the AR's are like Barbie or G.I.Joe
The AR-15 has brought to the firearms world what the smartphone delivered to electronics and the single-lens-reflex camera offered for photography: maximum usability in an affordable package that's easy to upgrade and, most important, plays into the culture of its customers. Not only can Jonathan Hardy give one to his teenager, his disabled mother can shoot one as well, and does.
the AR's are like Barbie or G.I.Joe
More like an Erector Set for responsible adults, for those old enough to remember what an Erector Set was...
The ar-15 in my opinion is a nice home defense gun. But to take out into battle, an being exposed to various elements. There are many combat guns that FAR OUT PERFORM THE AR.
Home defense gun? Please!! It is a weapon, fun, yes, but home defense, no. Unless you're talking defending your home against someone trying to take your home. There are hundreds of weapons better suited for home defense.
Just don't think it can handle the elements as well as some other designs.
What is your idea of a home defense weapon.
Personally if I had a choice of an Ar-15 , shot gun, high capacity handgun of any caliber. I would pick up the AR -15.
Now shipwreck has or had a beautiful fn 90 something. That looks very functional. I actually seen one perform. Ohh what a nice piece
I hope I wasn't misunderstood, the AR-15 is a beautiful piece . I just love the 223.
I was shooting the 223(5.56) 30 years ago ,still love it.
Loved to bring my mini 14 out shooting. Just loved the action on that ruger.

The outrageously amusing animated FOX programs just got more accessible (and even more addictive). Airborne Mobile, a leading full-service mobile media company, today announced the renewal of its agreement with FOX Mobile Entertainment to develop and distribute mobile content based on the FOX series Family Guy, as well as a new agreement to develop and distribute content based on FOX's American Dad and King of the Hill. With 15 Emmy nominations between the three programs and an ample supply of pop culture parodies, Airborne can now offer even more mobile content based on popular FOX franchises.
In 2004, Airborne Mobile first announced a full suite of official Family Guy mobile content and it became an instant success, gratifying millions of Family Guy fans across North America. Bestselling ringtones from a hot-headed Stewie and a feisty Quagmire proved to be some of the most successful mobile content in North America, and now, the sixth and most side-splitting season of Family Guy will be transformed into freakin' sweet mobile wallpapers. Giggity giggity!
Airborne plans to repeat the Family Guy success story twice over with American Dad and King of the Hill. For CIA agent Stan Smith and his family in American Dad, saving the US is an everyday objective, with disastrous and hilarious results. Lawn tractors, a constant supply of beer and propane accessories define the terrifically Texan world of King of the Hill. With blush-worthy quotes and memorable characters, both of these FOX show families put the "fun" in dysfunctional.
"With animated brands, the opportunities for creating a whole new world of creative content are endless," said Andy Nulman, President and CMO of Airborne Mobile. "We're excited that FOX has chosen Airborne Mobile to continue and expand its mobile legacy. The fervent fans of Family Guy, American Dad and King of the Hill have high expectations, and we can't wait to deliver."
"We are pleased to work with Airborne Mobile to help expand the distribution of personalization content from some of Fox's most popular properties," said Andrew Stalbow, Senior Vice President of Content for Fox Mobile Entertainment. "Now, even more fans of Family Guy, American Dad and King of the Hill will be able to enjoy content from these terrific shows on their mobile phones."
The initial product offering will roll out in April on all major North American carrier decks.

of pure beauty love
Good morning sweetly
lips sweeping golden kisses
summer light of life
Cool rising warmly
before one's eyes a vision
beholding beauty
One deep dove moment
in thought babe you flashed across
this soul living free
Pure living this dream
memory forever takes
hold off, one warm breath
Sharing a vision looking into the sky so beautiful both so clear wow i thought love does really open the eyes wow again i am beginning to see everything so different purer in ways i never saw before

I'm yearning for break
Summer's the time of my life
Awesome! School ends soon
I'm hoping for break
Summer's the best time to swim
Let's go to the beach!
I'm waiting for school
To come to an end at last
We all need time off!
We all yearn for an
Awesome summer
Bladed implement,
Cutting through shaving cream snow:
Fields of fresh stubble.
An Ode to Shaving

You make me exist
butterflies flutter
petals take vibrant colors
honey in beehive......
orange of twilight
reflects into the ocean
beautiful sunrise......
a magnetic charm
gentle breeze touches the soul
as birds fly afloat.......
nature sings in grace
earth meets sky at horizon
existence proven.......
not a word from you
as eyes stare at the blue
I cease to exist......
passionate longing
rhythmic drumming beats say
you are my sole heart......

Passover to shed us might

The significance
Of God's holiday is way

Rainy's Flys
I was looking at the Rainy's Flys web site and they look very nice. Looks like they only sell in bulk. Has anyone dealt with them and have a recommendation.
Re: Rainy's Flys
Rainy's does tie some nice bugs and you are correct that they are only a wholesaler that sells to retail establishments. You can purchase patterns through retail shops as well as larger merchandisers such as Cabela's and Bass Pro. They do not sell directly to the public.
Re: Rainy's Flys
Great flies, but as mentioned above a wholesaler only. I have friends that guide, and she won't even sell directly to them.
Re: Rainy's Flys
Get them from just about any good fly shop. Rainy is a great gal and is always contributing to the Wasatch Fly Fishing (Utah) and Tying Expo and the Idaho SF Cutthroat Expo.
Re: Rainy's Flys
That's too bad. I would have liked to have bought some from them even if it was in bulk.

text: whats everyones opinion on the rnt short barrel? enough volume to bring ducks from a ways away? significantly louder than an echo timber dbl reed? good call for public areas/running traffic? a friend suggested to me to look into a short barrel after i was just about set on an mvp. he thinks a short barrel would provide me with enough volume. again, i hunt mainly fields dry and flooded, public marshes and rivers. generally a lot of other callers around.
