Figgerin' it out
Apparently, over the years, the Accountant fine point was one of the pens that contributed to the stereotype of nerds who had ink stains on their shirt pockets. I suppose because the tip was so small, the pen ink well must have had some extra pressure to force the ink to flow - which led to its propensity to explode.
As the years went by, to the best of my knowledge, the Accountant fine point was converted to the same ball size as the medium pen - .o8 mm - and they were both dubbed fine points. The difference with the Accountant was then stylistic - it has a white barrel and its plastic cap lacks the "clip", it still has a separate metal clip.
Bic still makes a pen with what is called the needle tip - .o5 mm - but it has a totally different design.
When I first began looking for a source for the orange pen, I didn't realize that for most of its existence it was called a fine point; when I was a kid, it was still called a medium fine point.

BTW, in case you don't get the anthology's title, Texas was the 28th state admitted to the Union.

"Pen Pal" revisited
Monday, July 26, 2010
I would feel more guilty about not writing spec fic, but I am up to date with the slush pile shuffle and currently have 17 stories out there, ranging from contract-signed and waiting for publication to probably lost and forgotten.
I am recharging the creative batteries following the completion of "The Fontane Sisters are Dead" and already have 3,500 words on the "What if the Civil War started NOW?" AH story, "The Secessionist Shuffle".
Best line so far - AH timeline joke, "but the President is only half black!"
"Then he can have half the country!"
David Duke-type gov of Louisiana has called the secession convention.
On a personal note, I'm glad I have Molly Ivins as a character.

Excellent coverage
As the ME (managing editor) of an AP paper, I can check their web portal. I didn't use anything for my own paper - this is a very conservative, traditional part of the world - but I might browse some stories.

They were great! Wow, talk about a windfall! I have to keep track of the fruit and start harvesting them.
I don't know where and why this tree is in the yard - there are a few other ones scattered about. But I hear tell Native Americans did plant peach trees, so maybe these are their descendants.

"Secessionist Shuffle"
I want to give a copy of this story to someone at ArmadilloCon, so I'd like to finish it by then. I already have over 3,500 words - what I did today was give it a real beginning, and yanked out a plot element that wasn't going to work.

"The Fontane Sisters are Dead"
Of all the stories I have ever written, this is the one that I like the most - which means nobody will ever buy it.
But I don't care, I write for my own enjoyment. In this case, I like the plot, the dialogue and story structure, and the ending really snapped.
The original working title of the story was "Golem Gal Won't You Come Out Tonight?"
I already got a 700 word start to "The Sanguine Empire". More importantly, I figgered out how to finagle a crucial plot twist
Sunday, July 18, 2010
Hack, slash, cut
Read it to Patricia - she liked it, too, and helped point out something questionable that had crossed my mind, also.
I will probably finish up in a day or two and move on to "The Sanguine Empire".
Saturday, July 17, 2010
There are a number of times I end us only satisfied as opposed to enthusiastic when I finish a story, but I actually really like this one. I think it's a lot of fun. Of course, that means nothing as far as marketability is concerned.
Meanwhile, I started some research on my next story, an AH about what would have happened if early pagan Viking explorers established a permanent settlement in the New World - not in Vinland, but in the interior. This is a takeoff on the legend of Sanguenay in Quebec. The story will be called "The Sanguine Empire".
I was happy to learn that two crucial plot elements come together - the city of Sanquenay in Quebec, as well as the instance in the 1970s when a mud flow in a previously undetected unstable soil layer wiped off a community on the outskirts of that same city.
That natural disaster is how I would explain why - in our timeline - the Viking empire failed to survive, and only remained as a legend by the time Cartier explored the St. Lawrence region.
I don't know if it is too hokey to survive to the final version, but I have a nice "set piece" where our New York harbor - rather than the Statue of Liberty - has a statue of Thor, hammer raised on high (with 'lightning' beacon) - that was extracted from the people of Francia as tribute after they were conquered by the Norse kingdom as it crossed the Atlantic and subjugated the Old World.

Sad news
Finished up tonight on the first draft of next short story, which has clocked in at 7,200 words, "The Fontane Sisters are Dead". It's my Golem Gal in East Texas tale (as Jack Paar used to say, "I kid you not!"). Look up what the sole Number One tune the Fontane Sisters had on the Hit Parade, and you'll get the reference, as well as the time frame of the story.

Weekend recap
The book signing in Tyler went well. The staff was very nice and attentive. The sales were not the best, but not the worst. Tyler also has a Barnes & Noble, and I got the impression - just from eyeballing the customers in Hastings - that Hastings there gets the people more interested in videos and games, rather than books. But still, profits paid for dinner for me and my wife, so who's to complain?
MythCon in Dallas Sunday went well - I was on two panels. In addition to meeting people I've done panel duty with before, such as Willie Siros, Scott Cupp, and A. Lee Martinez, I got to meet Tom Powers. Both panels were well received by the attendees. and in between them they served us lunch. Book signing again was middling, but it paid for a sack of groceries I picked up on the way home.
The main thing about the weekend was the driving: Tyler is an hour and half from Mount Pleasant. and Dallas is two hours away. I borrowed my wife's car, it has cruise control.
No appearances now until I speak to the New Boston Friends of the Library on August 16.

"It's possible that you haven't run into the stories of Lou Antonelli. Since 2003, he's been publishing delightful short tales of alternate history all over the nooks and crannies of the SF world. Thanks to Fantastic Books, we now have 28 of these little gems in one place. "Many of Antonelli's stories have an unexpected twist ending. And many of them are what he calls "secret history" stories, which aren't exactly alternate history—they're set in our familiar history, but there's always some element that contemporary observers missed. " -
- Don Sakers, The Reference Library, Analog July-Aug. 2014
A better path develops for a distraught man in "Double Exposure" by Lou Antonelli (debut 6/11 and reviewed by Frank D). Jake is about to end it all. He has been trying to keep his high maintenance wife happy for decades and has needed to embezzle to satisfy her spending habits. Now, on the verge of indictment and abandoned by his spouse, he buys a gun. Before he pulls the trigger, he spies a Kodak one-day photo hut. Curious, he pulls up to the window. They are holding pictures of him and his last girlfriend from 30 years before. The package is a lot thicker than it should be. Double Exposure" is listed as an Alternative History story but I would classify it as a Magical Realism tale. It is set as a second chance tale, a look into a life that should have been. The author is inspired by his memories of the old photo huts (I remember them) and of their disappearance. A cool idea (photos of another life), one that I could imagine would make for a great anthology.

"Great White Ship": A traveler stuck waiting for a flight strikes up a conversation with an old airline employee. The Old Timer tells him a story of a Great White Airship that arrives from a most unusual destination. The story of a craft from an alternate reality and how it got there is only the precursor to the final act. This is one of my favorite stories from this site. I have a great passion for lighter-than-air craft and their potential as a future means of transport, which opens the story. The author uses this speculation to launch into an engaging tale. As fascinating as the main story line is, the alternate history premise that accompanies it is just as worthwhile. This story was well written and very well thought out. It is well worth the read. Recommended.

In case anyone cares
We decided to go with the Achilles 315LX.
Stephen at Defender made us a very nice deal (he's a great guy, very honest very helpful, and I would highly recommend doing business with him).
In the end, the weight is comparable to the AB aluminum (a little more, but not materially), the boat has a tremendous amount of interior space, much more than I expected (Stephen let me poke around one on display at Defender), the tubes are large and there's a lot of sheer, comparable to the AB, which should give the boat a relatively dry ride. The sheer is a little more sudden than on the AB, which gives it a little less graceful of a look, but hopefully that won't present a performance problem.
It doesn't have a bow locker, which is a compromise you make when trying to keep weight to a minimum, but neither did the AB so that really was a wash.
And the final factor, the cost was a little more than half of the AB. I just couldn't see spending thousands of dollars more for not all that much more benefit. If the AB were comparably priced I probably would have gone with it. The AB might be better constructed (I'm not really sure), but at half the price I'll live with that.
I'm picking up the boat next week, and in the spring when we get our davits installed we'll spash the new dink and then start working out the best way to haul and secure her on the davits.
Here are some pix of the Achilles:
|I have been in Portabotes, and I really was just teasing you with the tone of my post. That said, I'm not a huge fan. They are fine for a variety of applications, but they just can't compete with RIBs on just about any level. The one advantage they have would be on-deck storage, but we're not doing that.
Dawg...while Portabotes are a good selection for certain applications, I would ALWAYS choose a Rib for cruising if I could handle one....and I have been in one and seen the choices available.
Compared to a Rib...
1. They are in the same ballpark weight wise.
2. They are significantly slower and can't be used in many situations where I would take my rib.
3. They hold significantly less weight and load carrying capacity is important when cruising.
4. They handle chop and waves much less well.
5. The assembly is a pain and the seats are a known problem.
That said...they are a very reasonable choice when short distance dinghy rides are all that is required and where space is at a premium. I've been looking at the sailing version as something that might be a nice addition to an RV.
That said...when
Have you actually used a porta-bote???
The 12' 6" portabote weighs about 100 lbs. completely assembled.. which is probably a good deal lighter than the RIBs you're looking at. They're very stable and reasonably fast, even using a small 3.5 HP four-stroke, which is more than I can say for the RIBs you're looking at. The only real problem for some people is assembling them, and that can be done in as little as 15 minutes with two people.
On top of the other advantages, stowing in a small space, being fairly fast and stable, being fairly light, the portabote hulls are tougher than aluminum or fiberglass ones.
I would love the PortaBote if they were fast, stable, light and easily deployable. Of course, they're slow, unstable, heavy and a PITA. But other than that, they're great.
We're sold on RIBs. We've had a number of different kinds of dinks, and while nothing is 100% perfect for every situation, the RIB does the most things the best. And even as to those things for which it is not "best," it's damn good.
Aluminum v. glass. AB v. Achillies v. Caribe v. Zodiac. 10' v. 11', etc., I could be swayed. But for us, a RIB it is.
Originally Posted by sailingdog View Post

Personally, I'd go for a PortaBote instead... it stows a lot smaller, and they're a lot more durable, since they have no inflatable portion to damage.

|Basically arguments for glass over aluminum in terms of repairability and dealer support. And the fact that PS liked it so much he viewed that as a selling point.
|What points did Stephen make?? BTW, I have a smaller model Achilles, and love it.
More RIB Advice Needed
Stephen Lancer, a Defender guy, essentially is trying to convince me that perhaps I should go with the Achilles HB315LX, which apparently Practical Sailor loved. Stephen makes some interesting points, and the boat is much less expensive than an aluminum AB, which is a big plus of course.
Anyone have experience with this model Achilles?
By the way, I started a new thread because the other one was about experiences with the aluminum RIB. If the powers that be believe this should be in that thread and that I should not have started a new one, first my apologies, and second I have no objection to moving this over to the other thread.

"My last recipe…"
Rockford residents lost a special woman… Jeanne Elaine Briggs, age 72, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, October 27, 2012. Jeanne touched the hearts and minds of many through her work with child advocacy groups and in sharing her love of cooking. Jeanne was honored by MACLD, Michigan Association for Children with Learning Disabilities to help bridge the barriers between parents, schools and teachers. She was also honored by KISD, Kent Intermediate School District for her untiring and devoted service, and also recognized by the United Way for her leadership efforts. As for her cooking, she wrote for the Rockford Squire's "What's Cooking" column for 12 years and her unique and creative recipes / dishes / culinary creations were included in three different published cookbooks, numerous entries and winning dishes in events such as, the Grand Rapids Cook Off and others. She was married to her husband Bob 45 years ago, and at that time Jeanne worked for Grand Valley State University. She and her husband Bob are both graduates of Creston High School. She is survived by her husband Bob and her sister Elaine Hart. She is also survived by her three boys, Jason, Kyle and Mitchell. She also has three grandchildren Nolan, Michaela and Austin Briggs who loved their "gourmet" grandma. Jeanne was a member of Rockford United Methodist church and loved contributing in a culinary way towards the church's efforts. Jeanne loved life and celebrated many triumphs with family and friends both in Rockford and in Punta Gorda Florida where her friend base thrived from her love to cook for them. She was a giving woman and we know she would want you to have this "last recipe" that won her one of the two years at the Rockford Jaycees Annual Chilli Cook-Off Grand Champion in 1993 and 1994. We love you Mom and all that you are to us.
Rio Lobo Chili (River Wolf)
2 lbs beef stew chunks cut into good sized pieces
2 lbs of lean ground beef
4 T oil
2 large onions, chopped
3 cloves of garlic minced
1 tsp ground allspice
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp red cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt
1 T smoked paprika
3 bay leaves
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 T unsweetened cocao (Dutch or Ghirdelli)
1 tsp thyme
3 diced jalapenos chopped (without the seeds)
2 T Better than Beef Boullion (In a jar by the soups)
2 T Worcestershire sauce
1 T cider vinegar
1 cup of Burgundy wine
15 oz can of tomato paste or puree your own
28 oz can of diced tomatoes or cut your own Roma's
49.5 oz can of Swanson's Beef Broth
In a large frying pan over med-hi heat, saute' onion, garlic, ground beef and chili powder until ground beef is slightly cooked. Add allspice, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, cocoa, tomato paste, Better than Beef Bullion paste, Worcestershire, cider vinegar and part of the beef broth. Simmer for 15 minutes. Brown the stew meat well and add to the pot. Add the can of diced tomatoes, bay leaves, smoked paprika. Simmer for 2 hours, adding more beef broth as it evaporates. This isn't really a thick chili but not a soup.
Continue to taste for seasonings like salt or more of the seasonings above that would complement what you are tasting. Serve with chopped onions, shredded sharp cheddar and Sour Cream. (As for beans, these are to be complemented and served on the side if you must.)
Jeanne's family has set aside a free cookbook for those who would want one. Just walk up to the Service Desk at the Family Fare and one is yours. She would have loved her recipes to be tabled for family and friends.

New Mexico Telegram » Delegation, Featured » Pearce votes for Cantor for Speaker (updated with video)
Pearce votes for Cantor for Speaker (updated with video)
John Boehner was re-elected by his colleagues to the position of Speaker of the House on Thursday.
Boehner gets the second term as Speaker of the House despite a number of Republicans breaking ranks and voting for others; Boehner received a total of 220 votes. Among those Republicans who voted for another person for Speaker of the House was U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce.
Pearce, who represents New Mexico's 2nd Congressional District, cast his vote for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va. Pearce was one of three Representatives to cast their ballots for Cantor.
Cantor himself voted for Boehner.
Others voted for Allen west, who is no longer a U.S. Representative after losing a close race in November, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former comptroller general David Walker and others received votes.
The Speaker of the House is not required to be a member of the House, although so far each Speaker of the House has been a member of the House.
Pearce is considered one of the most conservative members of the House — and his vote here shows that.
A total of 13 Republicans cast their ballots for someone other than Boehner or did not vote — Boehner did not vote, as the Speaker traditionally does not vote for him or herself. Eight Democrats cast their ballots for someone besides Pelosi or did not vote.
The other two Representatives from New Mexico, Ben Ray Lujan and Michelle Lujan Grisham, each cast their ballots for Nancy Pelosi. Both are Democrats.
Steve Pearce's office released a YouTube video explaining his vote, which you can see below.
Pearce said he was not voting against Boehner, but voting to "bring in a relief pitcher" and "to change directions."

The beams are 24" deep and 12 feet apart which exceeds the code for San Angelo.
Not dissing..
....Just comparing codes and differences in different parts of the USA
I have never seen beams built under the garage floors like that, unless the beam was going to support some excessive weight like a lift attachment point or monstorous machinery mounting point. (of course, I am taliking about garages with trussed roofs and no load bearing walls inside)
Here in my state, a hobbyist garage might go to 6" thick floor, but surely never having beams out in the middle like that....and it's super rare "here", to see rebar either! I think the concrete mix is special to allow no rebar...I am pretty positive on that. Residential garages are likely 4" with no beams, just frost walls on the perimiter only.
We have codes here for frost wall depths of 42"... but there is supposed to be a new system around here to allow buried rigid insulation placed at 45* angles downward around the perimiter, that allows way less of a frost wall depth.
Hey Roger, I've been following your build from the initial planning. You yakking about the old service station look, now has me hooked on trying to put a similar facade on my existing shop....a porch overhang with that same roofing
...and one of those nice doors you showed
..thanks for the inspiration

Without a real examination (in person), i8t is hard to say if you need to remove the inner panel, but if you do, it is an easy project.
I cut pieces of my inner door panels off in order to properly hammer and dolly the welds on my (lower only) door skins.
If you are a fair welder and have a mig, it wont take a full day to weld the panel back in.
If it makes you more comfortable with your repair I say go for it. Just don't cut clean to the edge and there is no downside apart from the time you spend.
Oh, I just used a regular (1/16th ?) cutting wheel, it worked fine.
You might check EMS for a door panel.
<<edit EMS does not have door skins, sorry! They do make some other parts you might need though.)
|Riot Racing
The car is a 1954 Chevrolet 2dr. sedan. I'm really leaning towards cutting the skin offto clean everything, I need to find a real thin cutting blade to avoid taking off excess material.
It would be greeat if I could find an outer door skin, because I have some rust damage, which ate through the metal and a good size dent that would make it easy to fix.
anyone know where i can find a door skin for my 54 chevy 2dr.sedan
I'm gonna do some body work first before I do the door to give me some time to think about how I want to do things.
If confronted with that sort of thing I would not cut the inner..I would R&R the outer skin..difficult to get one back straight if the inner is cut..but that is just my opinion..
|Oldfool has a point, but I'm not big on dipping. You haven't mentioned the age of this Car-can you get a complete outer Door Skin? If not, yes, you can cut out the inner structure, media blast, Ospho or whichever rust removal tool you prefer, then I would Epoxy Prime it, it will last forever. On my Car, I painted the inside of the Doors, then welded them back together, then I just poured some Epoxy in the Door cavity and shloshed it around into the seams-
|Riot Racing
|Any more feedback? I'd really like to get some pointers before I go crazy and start cutting things open
|Old Fool
|Maybe take it to a metal dipper and get it tanked instead?
|Riot Racing
Should I cut my Inner door skin off?
I have my passenger side door off the car right now. I cut off the bottom section fo the door to replace the metal b/c it had sever rust damage.
Now, that I have looked at thigns in more depth I can see that the INSIDE of the door skin has tons fo rust and junk built up on it. I'm really weird about seeing that and I have almost cut out all of the rust on the rest of the car, b.c it makes me nervous.
So my question is. Do i dare cut a section of this door out so that I can grind off the rust and gunk THEN coat it with some rust inhibitor?
My concern is: I won't be able to realign thigns when I try and put it all back together.
I have attached this picture of what the door looks like, although you cant see the rust in this picture. Again,t he rust is in the inside. BUT IT HAS NOT eaten throw the exterior side of the door.
This next picture is where I was THINKING of making my cut to put the skin and clean up in there. What do you think? Would you make your cuts somewhere else?

Paris/Osaka – People suffering vision loss may one day have new corneas and lenses grown from their own cells and be spared the invasive transplants required today, according to new research.
In papers published Wednesday in the journal Nature, a research team said they had managed to engineer corneas from stem cells in a lab, while another led by Osaka University ophthalmology professor Koji Nishida regenerated lenses inside the human eye.
"These two studies illustrate the remarkable regenerative and therapeutic potential of stem cells," wrote Julie Daniels of the University College London Institute of Ophthalmology, who analyzed the work in a paper also carried by Nature.
To work perfectly, the cornea and lens must be absolutely transparent. Sometimes, due to disease or aging, these become opaque and need to be replaced with a donor or artificial transplant.
Such procedures are not foolproof, and in some cases the transplants are rejected by the recipient's body.
Stem cells offer hope as they can be taken from the patient's own body, thereby limiting rejection risk.
Stem cells are primitive cells that, as they mature, differentiate into the various specialized cells that make up different organs.
Until a few years ago, the only way to obtain stem cells was to harvest them from human embryos, a controversial practice as it required the destruction of the embryo.
But now scientists have developed induced pluripotent stem cells or iPS cells, which are mature cells turned back to an earlier, versatile state from which they can re-diversify.
For the first study, scientists in the United States and China developed a new way to remove and replace damaged eye lenses in people with cataracts.
The current surgical method leaves a large incision which can easily become inflamed.
In the new procedure, a team extracted the lens through a much smaller hole than the existing procedure requires, and also left behind many more naturally occurring, lens-creating stem cells called LECs. These were stimulated into building a new lens.
The method was successful in rabbits and macaques, and later in 12 human children.
"Each year, more than 20 million cataract patients worldwide undergo treatment with less extraction and artificial . . . implantation," wrote the study's authors.
Yet the current procedure "inadvertently destroys the integrity of the lens capsule and the very LECs that hold the regenerative key to lens restoration," they said.
"We have developed a new, minimally invasive surgical method that allows regeneration of a functional lens."
Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world.
Dusko Ilic, a lecturer in stem cell science at King's College London, said the study was "one of the finest achievements in the field of regenerative medicine until now."
For the second paper, researchers in Japan and Cardiff used human iPS cells to create retina and lens cells that they grew into healthy corneas in a lab dish and implanted into rabbits.
This achievement, too, was hailed, though experts pointed out the method remained too expensive and experimental to be a viable treatment just yet.
"Whether either of the reported therapies will lead to cornea or lens transparency that can be maintained in the long term remains uncertain," wrote Daniels.
In the second paper, a team led by Osaka University's Nishida cultivated over the course of a month four-layered tissue containing neural cells, optic vesicles and conjunctival epithelial cells.
The findings may be "a promising resource for new and ongoing studies of ocular morphogenesis," the report said.
In 2014, a Japanese research team led by Masayo Takahashi of the Riken research institute was the first to successfully transplant into a human retinal cells grown from iPS cells.

Alien DAC will not recognize or turn on
I just built an Alien DAC the best I could. I went from pictures and most of them met up except for a few I just guess on. The one connecting U3 or something is a little grayer than the yellow ones I see in the picture but on the label from the kit it said that number. Please help if you can. The LED will not turn on and Windows will not recognize it.

Please visit our fantastic new website by clicking this link!
The planets are connecting ideas, initiative and desire to the means to move, and their message right now is for you to do the same. Hook your engine to your wheels, your ideas to action this week, and see where you take yourself.
In one aspect, we have Mercury in decision mode. The planet of the mind is still conjunct Uranus, sparking an idea (or two or three). Square Pluto, the planet of evolution, your best bet is to take a step forward with the decision you are contemplating (or have just made) — if you're feeling any tension, this is what it is calling for. Something is going to move you forward eventually anyway – it may as well be you, at your discretion and in line with your own vision.
Interlinked with the Mercury-Uranus-Pluto configuration is a pair of trines being made by the Sun right now. The Sun is in early Taurus, an earth sign. It is picking up the signal from Mars, slow but direct in early Virgo, and the asteroid Psyche, conjunct Mars. Virgo is a sign ruled by Mercury – hence the interlinking nature of these two aspect patterns.
We've written about Mars and Psyche a couple times before in this space, just prior to and during the Mars retrograde. In those instances, the backward motion of both bodies was urging us to look inward, to ferret out the roots of the injuries to our desire nature. Psyche is still retrograde, but Mars, gradually moving forward, is giving us a green light to begin action. With Mars moving in its preferred direction, Psyche is able to lend a little more support thanks to its flowing, expressive relationship to the Sun right now.
Mercury, the planet of the mind, is an idea we need to act on; one of the signs it rules is home to the planet of drive and desire, finally in a position to make a move. Mars in Virgo, trine the Sun, says the energy for movement is open. Psyche by its side is also open to the Sun, and it wants you to know you're not crazy for having the ideas you do right now. You can have faith that what you desire is valid. Your ideas are your engine and this week, you can trust they really are hooked up to your wheels. You can put your foot on the pedal (though it's still not advisable to spin and squeel your tires in a jackrabbit start); the light is green and you'll get across the intersection.
The rest of the journey after that is still a bit of a mystery, and you may have to build the road as you go. But as the Rolling Stones famously noted, even if you can't always get what you want, if you try sometimes – at the right times, and this is one – you just might find you get what you need. You just have to get out of your head and do something. Make it something you really want to do.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'TiVo Underground' started by Omikron, Apr 30, 2008.
Thanks wmcbrine. Love the program.
Fits perfectly on my Eee's screen, nice!
Watching some of the macros like CC or SPS9S is pretty cool.
Thanks for great work wmcbrine!
I created this modified layout to fit better on my screen. Turns out that you were uploading a new version with landscape option while I was hacking away at this, but I used a slightly different layout.
This is a mod of the 0.6 version, the button layout is just rearranged and some buttons resized to my preferences. Thought someone else might like the same layout I do.
I just thought of another use for this feature beyond the obvious very-remote control applications. You could use the menu navigation features to build a poor-man's push protocol. Basically, walk through the Now Playing list, open a remote share, navigate to a file and queue up a transfer. Obviously, there are a lot of issues to deal with (share/folder/file ordering chief among them) and it wouldn't work while someone was trying to use the TiVo, but could be interesting...
duckfin the app looks much better now!
1 question, on my phone its using my summerboard wallpaper as the background. Anyway to switch it to black? Its pretty bright and doesn't look right with the buttons..
I have a new version which defaults to an opaque black background. You can also specify background image for each page in the remote.xml file (I have tested this, but do not have an image currently).
Thanks for letting me know about the issue.
This Series I, barely-into-Series-II hacker is truly envious! Imagine, new frontiers to explore! Great work and I'm really jealous!
This adds some documentation (doc strings, comments) and command-line options, including short versions of the existing ones, and corrects the non-functioning of the '.' keyboard shortcut under Gtk. Also, in the last version, I changed from binding the keyboard shortcuts to all buttons in Gtk, to only one button; in retrospect, that was a mistake, so I've reverted it.
[See sig for the latest version.]
Great work you guys! I've seen some very cool TiVo remotes posted here and I have tons of questions. How do you install the remote? Is there a FAQ? Can I run the remote from a Mac? How could I run the latest version using a Pocket PC?
I've been able to Telnet via the PPC but it's a real pain with all the timeouts...
There's no installation. You just run it. However, you have to have Python installed first. Also, you have to specify the address of your TiVo, either on the command line, or by editing the remote.pyw file.
This thread is what you get.
Yes. (And it should already have Python installed.)
I doubt that it will fit the screen, but you can try it. You just need to install Python:
Other sites seem to indicate that Tkinter is a separate package with that distro; you'll need that, too.
Thank you very much! I'll be installing Python tonight.
I am getting ready to add support to the iPhone program for automatically discovering TiVos to my program, which got me thinking about integrating more of the functionality that is already made available. With the Media Key, we can get a list of the videos that are on a TiVo, we should (maybe not in all circumstances) be able to figure out where those videos will appear on the 'Now Showing' screen. With these remote commands, we can automatically start playing any of the videos on the system.
I am nowhere near a TiVo right now, but this should be possible, right?
First problem that jumps to mind is the grouping and sorting available on the NPL. I don't think it's possible to know what those settings are set to, unless you are physically looking at the screen. If grouping is turned off, and the sorting is set to either date or alphabetical, AND the iphone or other networked app is made aware of which sort is being used, it could be possible. I don't know how close to 100% reliable we can get, a bunch testing would obviously be needed.
Has anyone found any other telnet commands other then the ones Crestron is using. I know on crestron's roadmap is to be able to poll NPL and be able to select a show...
I love the macros, CC works great, but I had to add a CLEAR to the end of the clock macro so it wouldn't change channels.
Got it working on my DELL Pocket PC. Very nice indeed!!!
Now I control the TiVo HD (channel 3) feeding all coax connections in my home via WiFi remote. Too cool!
Thanks again,
I can not get this to work... am I doing something wrong? What is MAK?
Your Media Access Key...
Anyone know how to get the NPL XML file without using https? I am trying to do some crestron programming and doing a SSL is impossible so I was hoping someone knew of another way...
No, no other way. Why do you say it's impossible?

Ever since the 4th century, the institutional church has always officially proclaimed that Jesus of Nazareth was and is fully God, and it has usually added that anyone who denies this is not a genuine Christ. Yet in Jesus' gospel sayings in the New Testament (NT), he never claims to be God. The few NT texts the institutional church has cited in asserting that Jesus is God are mistranslated or misinterpreted, partly because most of them have grammatical difficulties. Let's briefly examine these te … [Read more...]
A Brief Look at the Primary Bible Verses about Whether or Not Jesus Is God
Did the Jews Accuse Jesus of Claiming to Be "God" or "a God"?
The Gospel of John relates one incident in which the Jews accused Jesus of "making himself equal to God" and another incident in which they said to him, "you, though only a human being, are making yourself God" (Jn 5.18; 10.33). (All scripture quotations are from the NRSV.) Since Christians have been taught that Jesus is God, they have been taught that these Jews were correct in making these accusations. But in each instance, Jesus' immediate response represents a denial of those allegations (Jn … [Read more...]
Christ Called his Father "the Only True God," Which Means Christ Himself Could Not Have Been God
Nearly all Christians have believed Jesus is God. Scholars call them "traditionalists." And most scholars claim that the foremost New Testament (NT) book that identifies Jesus as God is the Gospel of John. It contains the two most formidable NT texts that have been interpreted as declaring that Jesus is God. They are John 1.1 and 20.28.Even liberal and historical-critical NT scholars, such as those of the Jesus Seminar, assert that the Gospel of John presents Jesus as God. Since the synoptic … [Read more...]

33's with 3.5 backspacing too much? + (metalcloak fenders
Here's my issue, I'm getting metalcloaks in August, I am then going to put 33's on (Cooper STT 33x15x12.5) and the rim I really like is the ION 174. Kick ass rim IMO but it comes in a 15x8 with 3.5 inch backspacing. It's this just sticking out unnecessarily far? I don't know how it will look, any head on pictures? To be legal here I must have full tire coverage :( What size backspacing should I get if 3.5 is just too much? I want 0 rubbing, I'm not putting washers in my steering. Just want it to work :) Thanks!!
BTW it's an '04 TJ sport with stock everything including suspension. The metalcloak fenders will allow me to run 33's on stock...
I have the Mickey Thompson sidebiters. The backspacing is 3.31" I have close to 1" of tread showing outside the fenders with 33x10.5 tires. I've never had a problem... If I had to get a state inspection though, I would certainly fail. I'm moving to CA soon so I'm not sure if this will be an issue, may need to get new flares.
3 Attachment(s)
Call and ask, they're helpful. You will need to go with the 6" flares, that's for sure.
3 Attachment(s)
4.5 flares w/ 5" of BS is flush with 10.5's. You're adding approx 1" in tire and 1.5" in BS, so it'll stick out by around an inch if you're using the 6" flares.
I believe anything 4" or less will work for 12.5 tires, but I've looked (a lot) and can't find a wheel I like that's more that 3.625 ish -- was looking as close to 4 as possible.
Going with these on the 6" flares FWIW, 3.625 BS.. no inspection though
thanks guys, yeah I can't seem to find a good, cheap rim I like. I'm not breaking the bank for rims, but I gotta like them too.
I have ION Alloy wheels with 33x12.5. Here's a picture from when I had 6" flares. Not much of the tread at all still stuck out (probably 1/4" maybe) but the ballooned sidewall stuck out. http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/...ica/003-11.jpg
That's a sick jeep man!! Thanks for the picture, sold me even more on those rims. sounds like a 6 inch flare on the metalcloaks will be ok. Not really a fan of the huge flare though :/
2 Attachment(s)
6" flare and you should be fine.
Here is mine with 4" flares on 15x8 rims with 3.5" of BS and a 12.5 wide tire.
I have what you're looking for but no flare attached. Hopefully you aren't in PA because they won't pass you for inspection with cloaks on. I'm stopped regularly out by Rausch Creek by the local PD but I'm from VA where we don't legally require any coverage.
33x10.5's have alot of advantages, they weigh less, tend to balance out better, have less road noise(ie: smoother on road) when driving around town, and can actually have better grip while offroading through the mud an dirt.
Thanks for the pic! Your jeep looks nice. MC's are looking sexy!
I had my heart set on the cooper STT tire but if it really comes down to it, I may just have to suck it up and go with a the duratrac (assuming they have those in a 33x10.5x15). Kind of a bummer but I'm all for better gas milage and easier driving.

It was, probably, my first post in the Mathematica group and wow - what a

Carrier Infinity fan always on
I recently had to repair our Carrier Infinity furnace with a/c since it wouldn't heat. The tech from the company that installed it in 2001 replaced the control board and the blower module. Since then, a week and a half ago, we have noticed that the fan is on low all the time. The thermostat is set to auto fan mode and it is not heating. We don't mind having the fan on all the time, but would like to be able to control it ourselves.
The tech left the old control board, so I compared the settings on old to the new. There are some differences in the small switches and I am wondering if anyone can tell me if these are causing the condition. There are 3 small red switch blocks, one block with 8 on the left and two blocks with 4 switches each on the right. Here are the settings on the old board:
The values on the 8 are: off, off, off, on, on off, on, on.
The values on the top 4 are: on, on, off.
The values on the bottom 4 are: off, on, on.
Can you help with that?
If you look on the back of your furnace door it should tell you what the switches are for, I think the small red block switches are for settings for the a/c tonage you have the other is for the blower cfm. Cant remember off hand what all 8 are for on the other block, I know switch 4 is for emergency heat, #2 is for bypass humidifier. But none of these will make your fan run all the time. If your furnace is not heating but the fan is working you either have an open limit switch your a blown 3amp fuse on your circiut board.
Next step?
Thank you for the response.
The fuse is good.
The furnace heats when needed.
I'll have to ask why there is a difference between the old and new A/C settings and make sure it is set correctly.
What else could cause the fan to run under these conditions?
Do you have a humidifier, if so what is the setting on your stat, there is an option that will control the operation of the fan motor. Push the humidity button and then you can cycle through the options by pressing the mode button, that is if you have the stat I'm thinking of.
Just a question...is the fan switch on your thermostat set to auto?....He may have also connected a speed up to a continuous terminal on your board, if your furnace has one.
Fan always on
We don't have a humidifier, so I don't think there would be anything there that would keep the fan running. Is there? How would I find out?
The thermostat is set for Auto fan operation. If I turn it to the FAN ON setting it runs the same as under Auto setting.
What other settings or components could cause the fan to run all the time?
Either your serviceman hooked up or set up the board improperly , you are getting 24V power on the furnace G terminal or this board is still not working properly.
I dont have your proper M#, etc. but I dug around and found this list of infinity furnaces. Check into the document/ downloads and you may be able to get some help. http://www.commercial.carrier.com/co...ID4415,00.html
Hope this helps....if it doesn't, why not just call the serviceman and explain to him what has been happening since he installed the board....should by all means be a warranty situation if he caused the problem.
Hope I can provide some help.
Thank you for your help!
I'll call and get him out again.
The web site you mentioned was helpful. I noticed that there is a PC based software that allows them to troubleshoot the furnace and it's controller boards. The serviceman didn't use it, but I'll ask about it this time.
Thanks again,
The company sent out their best repairman.
The controller board was bad so he replaced it again.
He also set the control board switches correctly.
He told me that secondary controls normally can't harm the main control.
It is running very well now.
Thanks for a great forum!

Woodbine Entertainment has dropped out of Empire Racing Associates, a week after the group bidding on the New York Racing Association's franchise lost several of its other major partners.
The withdrawal by Woodbine comes as Empire officials are in discussions with Australia's Capital Play, another bidder, about a merger.
"An economically viable horse racing industry in New York is not only important to the state, it is a critical component of the overall health of the industry across North America," David Willmot, chairman and chief executive officer of Woodbine Entertainment Group, said in a written statement Oct. 19.
"The bidding and decision making process governing the New York Thoroughbred racing franchise has changed dramatically since the commencement of the process. We no longer feel that Woodbine can contribute under current conditions. When initially asked, Woodbine agreed to participate in the bid process out of a genuine interest in the continued excellence of New York racing. It remains Woodbine's hope that a solution will be achieved that will ensure this outcome," added Willmot.
A week ago, Empire lost Churchill Downs, Magna Entertainment, and Delaware North Cos. Previously, the New York horsemen's group dropped out.
"We're coming around the home stretch with merger discussions with Capital Play, and as it turns out we're going to be taking advantage of Capital Play's operational expertise,'' said Robert Bellafiore, a spokesman for Empire Racing.
The group was recently passed over by Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who recommended the New York Racing Association keep the franchise to operate Belmont, Aqueduct, and Saratoga for another 30 years. That plan is being opposed by the Republican-led Senate, which this week proposed the creation of a new public authority to choose the various entities to run the racing, gambling, and real estate ventures of the franchise.

How can work be delightful perhaps even magical? The Business Romantic offers a radically different view of the successful enterprise and inspires you to find more meaning in business.
It's an indispensable part of our lives, from the long hours we work to the products and services we buy and yet business seems divorced from the full expression of our humanity. For many of us, something is missing, something both essential and immeasurable that lets us see the world with fresh eyes every day: romance.
In this smart, playful, and provocative book, Tim Leberecht, one of today's most original business thinkers, argues that we underestimate the importance of romance in our lives and proposes that we can find it in products, experiences, and organizations that connect us with something greater than ourselves.
In the face of eroding trust in capitalism, pervasive technology, and the desire to quantify our behaviors, The Business Romantic reveals the power of business to transcend mere rationality and self-interest and move toward deep, passionate exchanges that honor our most complete selves. From corporate strategy to the workplace, from product innovation to branding, customer relationships, and sales, Leberecht presents ten "e;Rules of Enchantment"e; that illustrate the value of choosing intimacy over transparency, mystery over clarity, devotion over data, vulnerability over control, delight over satisfaction, and love over liking.
A data analyst who is enamored with the intrinsic beauty of spreadsheets; the "e;voice"e; of Twitter; an Argentinian couple who reinvent shoelaces in a quest to reimagine the obvious; a performer who helps innovators through fake corporate seminars; rebels-in-residence who challenge their company's conventions; a pop-up magazine that exists for just one night; a legacy brand built on absence; a secret society that catalyzes organizational change these are some of the fascinating characters and groups you will meet in this witty and rousing ramble through the world of Business Romanticism.
Whether you are a consumer or producer, employee or entrepreneur, The Business Romantic urges you to start the most sublime of revolutions: Expect more. Give more of yourself. Fall back in love with business and with your life."e;

Dr. Eric Ford (Management) was interviewed May 8, 2013 by WFMY explaining why the same medical procedure can differ widely in cost at local hospitals: http://www.digtriad.com/news/local/article/283953/57/Report-Triad-Hospitals-Charge-Different-Fees-For-Same-Service
Greensboro, NC — In a report released Wednesday by the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services, consumers have a glimpse of what hospitals across the country charge for their services.
The CMS compiled data from 3,300 hospitals. It lists their fees for the top 100 most frequently billed treatments as determined by the Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Group.
The report shows dramatically different costs for the same surgeries not only varying state to state, but by hospitals in the same city.
WFMY News 2's Morgan Hightower looked at the charges for major joint replacement, chest pain and simple pneumonia from Moses Cone Memorial Hospital, Wake Forest Baptist Hospital, and Forsyth Medical Center.
Baptist charged Medicare $40,193 for major joint replacement surgeries like knee or hip replacements. Medicare paid $18,656.
Forsyth Medical Center's bill was about one thousand dollars cheaper. They charged $39,205 for the same surgery. Medicare paid them $14,075.
In Greensboro, Moses Cone charged $25,577. That's a difference from Baptist's fee of $14,616. Medicare paid Cone $13,758.
What's the reason for the difference? UNCG Professor Eric Ford says there is an explanation.
He says hospitals are just like any other business. Before they bill, that have to look at their bottom line.
"The hospitals are looking at their underlying cost structure and they are trying to put together a good faith estimate of what it really ought to cost," explained Ford. "They have different cost structures with their employees that they have, where they are located."
Ford says teaching hospitals, like Baptist, often cost more.
"They typically have higher cost structures, they've got a lot of teachers, in addition to students present as well as they tend to draw more sick patients. In other words, the patients they see are sicker. They call this greater acuity. And all of these make the cost of care go up and therefore they have higher charges," said Ford.
This is the first time comparable data like this has been released by the federal government. The CMS said it's a part "of the Obama administration's work to make our health care system more affordable and accountable."
Ford predicts releasing this information will cause a shift in the prices we see at local hospitals.
"As we start to bring more light to bear on these different practices, the hospitals want to be rational and they too don't have all the information about their competitors so as they start to see more, they'll start to balance out. This is a good thing. This is the way markets are supposed to work. Better information leads to better pricing and better customer service," said Ford.
When it came to chest pain – Baptist, Forsyth Medical and Cone were more aligned. They charged $9,600, $10,401, and $9,657, respectively.
As for treatment of simple pneumonia, Baptist charged $16.591. Forsyth Medical billed Medicare $16,242 and Cone charged $12,691.
To see a complete list of the hospitals and fees charged, read the report here.
Kenneth Kubisty, Associate Vice President, Corporate Revenue Cycle, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center says Baptist cannot negotiate their prices with Medicare.
"Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center is reimbursed by Medicare based on a fee schedule and diagnosis-related group (DRG) methodology established by Medicare, not Wake Forest Baptist (our prices are irrelevant to Medicare). For Medicare and Medicaid, Wake Forest Baptist is a "price-taker" and has no ability to negotiate prices with government payers. The difference in average covered charges relates to differences in service intensity. Healthcare services delivered by any institution are customized to the needs of the individual patient and are not commodity consumables easily compared through average price analysis. As a result of our differentiated capabilities, Wake Forest Baptist tends to attract sicker patients and more complicated cases as evidenced by our case mix index of nearly 2 times that of the average Medicare hospital. Every Medicare patient is subject to the same Medicare deductible, but may experience small variations in coinsurance liabilities due to our teaching facility designation.
Approximately 93% of the charges Wake Forest Baptist produces are subject to reimbursement mechanisms that make "prices" irrelevant (including Medicare). Against the remaining 7%, Wake Forest Baptist provides a significant amount of free or highly discounted care through our charitable mission.
Wake Forest Baptist is continuing aggressive restructuring and cost optimization initiatives begun many months ago in response to understood challenges relative to overall healthcare reform. Publication of this data in no way alters our plans."
Jeff Jones, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer with Cone Health says they're proud to offer the lowest medical costs in the area.
"Cone Health and Alamance Regional Medical Center are among the lowest cost providers in our area. We are proud that we are able to keep our costs low and quality of care high. However, what hospitals charge rarely reflects what they are actually paid by government or private insurers and hospitals in North Carolina are being squeezed by payments that aren't keeping up with costs. It is important to remember that Cone Health received approximately 90 cents for every dollar we spent caring for Medicare patients in 2011."
