Yes, you can draw on the floor. That's because Austrian flooring manufacturer mafi engraved its Carving Kids II line of three-layer engineered larch wood planks with images small enough to look like a pattern but big enough for kids to color them in. A beveled edge runs the length of the board and all sides feature a tongue and groove to facilitate installation. They can be installed on the floor or as wall panels and come marked with indicators that match up the right boards when installed together to ensure a consistent pattern.

Is it safe to let your dog chew up and eat Pork Rib bones? They have lots of meat on them whereas the beef soup bones I can get have nothing on them so they just get the marrow out of them. When Safeway has a sale on Pork Ribs, I can get the trimmings really reasonably, some of it is straight meat, other parts have a little of the Rib still on it.
I have Susie who is my Bernese cross so is a big dog, then I have a Shih Tzu/Maltese cross. I am trying to get Susie to lose some weight so if I give her Pork, how much would be enough? She weighs 70 lbs and would like to get her down to 60 lbs. I have reduced her kibble to two cups a day, one am and one pm, but she still does not seem to be losing weight. Would it be easier to get weight off her with a straight meat diet?

85 535i ECU/wire harness
first; this is my first post. second; i did try searching first :dunno:. Here's the rub.....
bought 85 535i for first projet car (am learning as i go). it turns over, but no fire.
i have check all that i am aware of (fuses, relays, distributer, coil, position/speed sensors, etc.. now......
i have found voltage to the coil, but, no pulse from the coil (i would appreciate advice on where to go next). and i checked two pins on the ecu (18 & 35). as i understand, these should have power to them all the time. 18 does, 35 has power when the key is off and on accessory. when key is all the way to on....there is no power on pin 35. is this normal?
if yes, where to now,
if no, do i jumper main relay or trace wire for pin 35.......or something else. i am running out of searchable ideas.
Before you get into that, confirm that you are getting spark and fuel.
there is no spark. that is the trail i am on now. the main relay clicks and contacts are clean, the relay socket has power to #30 and 86. the coil has power to it, but no pulse when turning over. position sensor and speed sensor both give good resistance readings.
Did you check the condition of the rotor in the distributor? The coil to dist wire for corrosion? The condition of the raised pin on the flywheel that the CPS uses? The physical condition and positioning of all the sensors and their connectors? Was the engine running recently?
If you want to check further for voltage to the main relay, etc. you should refer to the Bentley E28 manual. There are lots of detailed testing proceduces described in chapters 7 and 8.
i checked the resistance on the coil which was correct (i know that isnt %100, but for now i am avoiding throwing money at it).
i dont have a bently manual, i do have a haynes and an ETM which i am learning to read wire diagrams from.
i did check the condition of the wires, roter, distributor, contacts, etc; i did not check the pin for the cps (i keep forgetting). since i work full time and go to school full time i only have weekends. and now i have a new list. thank you and i will keep you informed. thank you.
ok, i have discovered that someone put the wrong main relay in. after confirming the diagram for the correct relay i jumpered the sockets and it started. thank you all very much for your help.
Good going!

March 27, 2013
State College, Pa. - The University of Pittsburgh baseball team (16-6) scored a pair of runs in the top of the ninth to help overcome an early 5-0 deficit and defeat in-state rival Penn State (5-15), 10-8, this afternoon at Medlar Field.
"That was a solid win for us," said head coach Joe Jordano. "Obviously it was a cold day and then we fell behind 5-0 in the first inning but I really liked the way that we battled hard, had some quality at bats and fought back."
With two outs in the top of the ninth, Pitt took advantage of an error by Penn State's first baseman and rallied to score a pair of runs to secure the win in a game it had trailed 5-0 early and 8-7 in the seventh inning.
J.R. Leonardi (JR/Pittsburgh, Pa.) (2-2) picked up the win after pitching 3.2 scoreless innings in relief and striking out four. David Walking (1-1) took the loss for Penn State.
"I was very proud of Luke Curtis (SO/Phillipsburg, Pa.) who came in and righted the ship for us and then J.R. who did a great job for us to end the game," Jordano said. "Offensively, Eric Hess (SO/Erie, Pa.) came up big for us in the ninth and that was the difference in the ball game."
Penn State struck first in the bottom of the first inning for five unearned runs. Pitt responded with a run of its own in the top of the second. Elvin Soto (SO/New York, N.Y.) got the Panthers started with a one-out double into the gap in left center. Soto moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice fly hit by Stephen Vranka (JR/Monroeville, Pa.).
The Panthers added another run in the top of the third inning when Casey Roche (JR/Downingtown, Pa.) scored on a fielder's choice from Boo Vazquez (SO/Youngstown, Ohio). Roche led off the inning with a single deep in the hole at short and advanced to second on a passed ball. Steven Shelinsky Jr. (JR/Yardley, Pa.) came to the plate and smacked a ball that floated over the right fielders' head for a double which moved Roche to third. Vazquez's fielder's choice then brought Roche home and cut the PSU lead to 5-2.
PSU scored again in the bottom of the fourth to push its lead to 6-2 before the Panthers rallied for a five run frame in the top of the sixth inning. Sam Parente (SR/Pittston, Pa.) led off the inning getting hit by a pitch. Soto followed by drawing a four pitch walk to put runners on first and second with no one out. Vranka brought Parente home and chased Jack Anderson from the game with a single up the middle after squaring to bunt on his first two pitches and drawing the infield in.
With Geoff Bolyston in the game pitching, Bennette Hill (FR/Olive Branch, Miss.) reached on an error by the second baseman to score Soto. Oswald then got hit to load the bases with no outs. Eric Hess (SO/Erie, Pa.) got hit by a pitch to bring home another run followed by Roche bringing home the tying run with a sac fly into left field chasing Bolyston.
New pitcher Ian Parvin started his day with a pair of wild pitches. On the second wild pitch, Oswald alertly scored, sliding in and beating the catcher's throw to the plate, to give Pitt its first lead of the game.
The Nittany Lions were able to connect for a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth to retake the lead, 8-7.
In the top of the seventh, the Panthers were again able to tie the game. Parente reached on an error and was moved over to third when Soto singled to right. Hill brought Parente home with a sac fly into left.
In the bottom of the frame, Penn State threatened with runners on the corners with two outs but Leonardi alertly picked off Penn State's Steve Snyder on a 1-6-3 play to end the threat.
Pitt retook the lead in the top of the ninth inning after a two out rally. With two outs Hill reached on an error by the Nittany Lion first baseman. Jordano then called to his bench to bring A.J. Lardo (FR/Baltimore, Md.) in to pinch run. After an Oswald walk, Hess ripped a 0-1 pitch up the middle to plate Lardo and give the Panthers the lead once again. Roche delivered another clutch pinch hit single up to middle to tack on an insurance run.
Leonardi returned to the bump in the bottom of the ninth and struck out the side for his second victory of the season.
Pitt will return to action on Friday, March 29, when it hosts Towson in a double header at Cost Field at the Petersen Sports Complex beginning at 1 p.m.

Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Limited Edition Box 2004
Winemaker Notes
Critical Acclaim
A pale beauty with delicate power, energy and dimension, the 2004 Cristal is an impressive follow-up to the 2002. Scents of apple blossom hint at the depth and clarity fo the fruit, layered with ginger and spice in a flavor delivered over the course of several minutes. The freshness of the wine comes through in a subtle hum rather than anything as overt as a buzz, bright, airy and unstoppable.
Exceptionally rich and dense, an exceptional wine that reveals itself in layers, from the first fruit attack to the mineral texture and the way it gradually fills the mouth. Selected from old vines, there is a great flavor in this wine, with the promise of many years' aging. Cellar Selection.
The 2004 Brut Cristal has put on quite a bit of weight since I first tasted it earlier this year. It is a powerful, structured Cristal layered with considerable fruit. Chardonnay seems to play the leading role in 2004, at least today. Cristal is often accessible young, but that is far from the case here. This is a serious, painfully young Cristal that will require considerable patience. Readers who are willing to spend some time with the wine today will find a super-impressive, complete Cristal. The 2004 Cristal is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay.
Light, bright gold. Spicy citrus and orchard fruit aromas are complemented by chalk, white flowers and a touch of smokiness. Taut, linear lemon and orange rind flavors give way to deeper pear in the mid-palate and pick up notes of honeysuckle and toasted grain with air. Still very young but shows excellent promise. Finishes with good mineral cut and sappy persistence.
Floral, citrus and spice aromas and flavors are at the forefront of this filigree, delicate Champagne, which is harmonious and well-defined, with a long aftertaste of roasted nut and toast. Very dry. Drink now through 2028.

Looking at a Glock 36 as a pocket gun. Need opinions as most semi auto pocket guns seem to be 9mm or smaller. Will it work?

Looking at a Glock 36 as a pocket gun. Need opinions as most semi auto pocket guns seem to be 9mm or smaller. Will it work?
In the past, the 36 has been the most problematic gun for Glock. A quick Google search will reveal a much higher rate of FTE and FTF malfunctions.
In addition, I was never able to pocket carry the 36 effectively. If you need a semi auto, look at the Keltec line.
I sold my Glock 36 back to the dealer I bought it from as it was prone to "jamming".
It wasn't me, nor was it the magazines or recoil spring. :frown: I used it as payment on a used S&W 686. Also, IMHO it's too big to be a pocket gun unless you're the Jolly Green Giant.
Biker :tumbleweed:
I have a g36 although I don't carry it as a pocket gun, I carry mine in a Comp-Tac C.T.A.C. and love that setup. I also heard of malfunctions with this model, but mine has worked perfect for me and is usually my carry piece, I sometimes switch to my para slim hawg but that one sometimes jams on the last round in a mag so I don't trust it fully yet. I love my g36 though its very comfortable to carry even while riding my motorcycle, in the ctac. It would be to big for me to pocket carry, I'm not very big.
Mine has been typical Glock Flawless as far as function is concerned.
I believe that whatever sporadic function related problems the G36 had that those have been worked through and resolved by Glock. Some of the original Glocks had a bit too much "front to rear" play in the magazine well which allowed the magazine to cant a bit and that resulted in some FTF with some G36s.
I believe that is no longer an issue.
That being said - as far as being a "pocket gun" - a coat pocket maybe - the 36 still might not be the ideal for the average pocket as it's still a tad bit large for common size pocket carry.
Just my personal opinion on that.
It absolutely disappears for OWB and IWB and shoulder carry though and is an extremely easy and light firearm to carry and conceal.
In my opinion any of the Glock sub compacts would be a bit too large for comfortable pocket carry. I can't fit one in my pocket, UNLESS it is the pocket on a pair of cargo pants or a big jacket/coat. Even if it could be stufffed in the pocket, it would be a bit too heavy for my liking. I carry mine in an IWB M Tac holster, or KD Defender or Comp Tac OWB
I've had my G-36 fo over a year now, and it's never given me any trouble...I do trust as my 'Harley' sidearm...it always goes :boom: :yup:
Very comfortable for CCW.
Stay armed...stay safe!
I was in the market for a G36. I have a thread on my experience with it. I went to the range, and it is a good gun, but the magazine pinches me (pinky finger) when the round feeds. I did not like that at all.
It is to big for pocket carry. I would go with a revolver with 6 shots if I wanted pocket carry. Oh. I did go with a revolver for pocket carry.
Another satisfied 36er here. Our relationship was strained at one point with mag problems. Once this was straightened out, everything has been 100%. I've had it for over 4 years now - excellent carry gun; I have a Caldwell "Missouri Sick" IWB that works very well, and recently purchased a C-Tac M-Tac for it, but haven't recieved it yet.
The grip is a bit short, but I place my pinky beneath the mag. The recoil is manageable especially with std. loads. I can shoot +P, but takes longer to reacquire the target - I carry std power ammo for this reason. Nice pistol, it has a good home with me. Like the other posters have said, this isn't a pocket gun.
Glocks are my favorite autos, but not the 36. I had one for a week until I traded it. It was a POS.
Go figure...my G36 has never failed in 4-5K rnds.
Oh well. :blink:
I am now carrying the G29 in 10mm...more rounds...more ft lbs...flatter trajectory...as easy to carry all day. :uzi:
my g36 had never been or given me any problems. goes bang when i pull the trigger. no ftf or fte with the gun. i don't limp wrist, so i don't have problems. and i never had any problems with the g36 mags. the g36 is the same size as the g27/g26so it would be a little hard to hide in your pocket. now i not saying it can not be done, just harder than,,, a kel tec p3at. but as a glock goes, there is nothing wrong with the g36.
Thanks for the advice. I'll keep my Taurus 445 as it fits in my pocket like a set of keys until I find something that holds a few more rounds. I have a Bersa Thunder 380 that will fit, but I prefer 9mm ,10mm 44 or 45..
I have owned my G36 for almost a year. I have put over 3,000 rounds throughit. It has operated flawlessy!!!! I love this gun and carry it everywhere I go.

Selected Writings of Gertrude Stein
by Gertrude Stein
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I find Stein's writing difficult but ultimately worth the effort. This collection varies from very short pieces(less than a page) to novella length (The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas).
Gerturde Stein is one of my favorite writers - as long as I avoid her "hard" pieces. I can only take those in very small doses. But the Autobiography of Alice Toklas and Everybody's Autobiography are wornderful - life transforming even. I read those at an impressionable age and they opened my eyes to other kinds of literature than I had previously known. I remember at the time feeling like I had leapt onto a fast moving train from a dead stop. It was breathtaking and unsettling but so exhilerating too.

I think I would take a look at the battery connections. Weird messages on a cold start might be caused by a brief low voltage spike. The rough running could be related. That is only a guess on my part.
I think I would take a look at the battery connections. Weird messages on a cold start might be caused by a brief low voltage spike. The rough running could be related. That is only a guess on my part.
I've seen lots of pictures of iridium plugs that have 100-120k miles on them looking immaculate. I really doubt the plugs are the issue.
And, my $70 Autel MS509 scanner can read history codes, and do live data. Well worth it for a modern car owner.
If the car had been sitting for a few days before getting started, a cold, low-voltage battery can do some funny things. And before folks get their panties in a wad over replacing the battery on a 1.5 to 2 year old car, it's a well-known issue that certain car batteries only last 1.5-2 years. I already went through on our Fit when it was just over 2 years old and just out of warranty. It's well-documented on the Fit boards that the OEM battery is shot after about 2-3 years. And that battery is Honda-dealer-only, and $170. I had to replace the OEM tires on it later that spring, too. Throw another $600 at the car...
If the diagnostic did not find anything to cover under a warranty or service campaign, they're going to charge you. Sucks, but the mechanics have to put food onto the table too. Oh, and buy their own tools to work on your car.

Your situation is what I refer to as a Fluke. something I learned from my Father actually and it has happened to me at least once on every vehicle I have ever owned including my LS cruze. Not the eco yet though.
In my LS I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic and after about 20 minutes the rpms started to rise and fall rapidly. almost stalling the car. i revved it once or twice but it still went right back into rhythm with the rise and fall. I turned it off, waited a moment and turned it back on. Never saw the problem again.
I have about 5 or 6 more stories just like this from other vehicles as well. It was a fluke. Hats off to you for trying to get your $80 back.

On a side note, I had a 2003 GMC Yukon that had "ghost" issues, even though I bought it with 4.6 miles on the odo! Every once in awhile, the radio wouldn't work, as in, no volume, but it was powered on and "functioning" other than volume. the ONLY way I could get it to work was to shut off the truck, arm/disarm the factory alarm system, then start it up again, and it was fixed.
Ironically, I have an issue with the radio volume on my Eco that pops up once it awhile as well ... where I'll be sitting at idle and the "automatic volume control" apparently thinks I've gone from 0-70 in .2 seconds, then back to 0, so the volume gets really loud for those .2 seconds, then back to normal.

My mom is exactly the oposite. One day (a long time ago) she heard me complain about my curls and she said "You have no idea how lucky you are. People pay hundreds and hundreds of dolars to try to make thir hair do what your hair does naturally"
And curls have nothing to do with being single. guys are always touching my hair. They love it. Ever since I was little guys have just walked up behind me to "doink" a curl.
Something that I find that works with other girls who are critical about my hair is the "I feel. . . about. . . because" method For example
"I feel sad/offended/upset when you critisize my curls because it has taken me a long to time to love my curls this much, and I don't want to start hating them again."
Try not to use the words angry, mad, or other extremely negative emotions because then they get defensive and there's no hope then.

Submitted to: Annual Meeting and Expo of the American Oil Chemists' Society
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 3/1/2006
Publication Date: 4/30/2006
Citation: Dunn, R.O. 2006. Oxidative stability of biodiesel by non-isothermal pressurized-differential scanning calorimetry in dynamic mode [abstract]. 97th American Oil Chemists' Society Annual Meeting and Expo. p. 76. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Biodiesel, an alternative diesel fuel derived from transesterification of vegetable oils or animal fats, is composed of saturated and unsaturated long-chain fatty acid alkyl esters. During long-term storage, oxidation caused by contact with air (autoxidation) presents a legitimate concern with respect to monitoring and maintaining fuel quality. Extensive oxidative degradation of unsaturated alkyl esters can compromise fuel quality by increasing kinematic viscosity, acid value or peroxide value. This study evaluates the use of pressurized-differential scanning calorimetry (PDSC) in dynamic mode as a means for determining relative resistance to oxidation of soybean oil fatty acid methyl esters (S-FAME). Kinetics of oxidation were analyzed by Ozawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW) treatment of results from non-isothermal heating scans at varying ramp rates = 1-20 deg C/min at constant cell pressure = 2000 kPa and air flowrate = 100 mL/min. Results showed that activation energy and Arrhenius pre-exponential factors from OFW analyses may be used to determine relative oxidative stability of S-FAME at any temperature.

Weber State will host Oral Roberts Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the Collegeinsider.com. The Wildcats and Golden Eagles will tipoff at 7:00 p.m. at the Dee Events Center with the winner advancing to the semifinals of the tournament.
The Wildcats are 28-6 on the season and opened CIT play with home wins over Cal Poly and Air Force. The 28 wins is a new school and Big Sky record for most wins in a season. Scott Bamforth and Kyle Tresnak each had 21 points in Saturday's win over Air Force.
Oral Roberts is 20-14 on the season and coming off a 76-62 win over UC Irvine Monday night in the second round of the CIT. The Golden Eagles finished third in the Southland Conference at 13-5. They lost to Sam Houston State in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament. ORU won 84-76 at UT Arlington in the first round of the CIT last week.
This season the Golden Eagles have been led by senior Warren Niles who ranks 26th in the country in scoring at 18.9 points per game. Niles and senior Damen Bell-Holter were named to the Southland All-Conference first team. Former University of Utah player Shawn Glover was named to the second team. ORU is coached by Scott Sutton who is in his 12th season at Oral Roberts.
The two teams met last month with Weber State winning 70-66 at Oral Roberts in the Ramada Bracketbusters game.
Tickets for Wednesday's CIT game are on sale now at the Dee Events Center Ticket Office. Tickets will be $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for youth (17 and under) and seniors (65 and older). Weber State students will receive free admission to the game with a student ID. Tickets can also be purchased by calling 801-626-8500 or visiting WeberStateTickets.com.

Jacky Ward's Fools Fall in Love/Big Blue Diamond is a late example of the cumbersome 1960s practice of naming an album after two of its songs. It was Ward's first album for Mercury, even though he had been making minor hits for the label since 1975. Instead of having Ward record an album's worth of new material, Mercury rounded up his hits from the previous couple of years and packaged them together. Consequently, Fools Fall in Love/Big Blue Diamond has every one of Ward's first six Mercury hits, plus a remake of "Big Blue Diamond," a '50s-era song that was a hit for Ward on the Target label in 1972. Ward's style -- soaring country-pop with strings -- sounds quite a bit like Charlie Rich, and the piano intro on "Dance Her by Me (One More Time)" is strongly reminiscent of Rich's "Behind Closed Doors." "Fools Fall in Love," another '50s-era song (this one written by Leiber and Stoller for the Drifters), was Ward's first Top Ten hit, and set the pattern for what would be his biggest hit the following year, a cover of Clyde McPhatter's "A Lover's Question." Aside from the oldies remakes, the album is practically a showcase for the songs of Jerry Foster and Bill Rice, since they wrote half of it, and the quality -- probably because so many of the cuts had been earmarked as single A-sides -- is very high. Fools Fall in Love/Big Blue Diamond is the strongest Jacky Ward album available, short of a greatest-hits package.

The RTC clock crystal is marked on the schematic(above) as 32Khz, the LPC214x user guide says to use a 32.768Khz crystal, so what is the actual value of the crystal used on the logomatic?
Does anyone have the original Bootloader MAIN.HEX file that is set up to work with the logomatic(ports set correctly etc) , if so where can I download it from, or is there a better one? thanks
No public wish lists :(

Help UG is melting!!
I got a big patch of UG and planted it in DSM mode for 1 month in my 20L. That tank also has HC and some how at the 1 month mark I noticed that the HC had spider mites and was killing my HC slowly but the spider mites didn't eat the UG for some reason or build their webs there.
So what I did was flood the tank. At this time the plants are already rooted as non of the HC and UG floated. It was been exactly 1 week as of today since the flood and I'm seeing some melt off on the UG, the HC is fine.
My tank is 20L 2x39watt 6500k bulb 8hrs a day but not 8 hours at one time. I have it on at night for 6 hours and in the afternoon for 2 hours to maintain the co2 levels.
I'm also injecting Co2 till the drop checker turns semi light green it maintains the green color just after the Co2 shuts off at night the drop checker turn semi dark green by morning till afternoon. In the afternoon the co2 turns on for 2 hours and I get enough co2 to turn the drop checker to green color. At night is when the drop checker turn light green when I have the co2 on for 6hrs.
I also have changed the water 4 times within this week about 30-35% with tap since I don't have and live fish or inverts in there.
What can I do to save the UG?
Is it common for some of the UG to melt off? I.E., on the patch I see some melt off and some still in healthy form.
I have heard it said many times that UG doesnt like high N levels. The WCs could be causing this or heavy Macro dosing if you are using ferts. I just converted mine less than a month ago and dont have any melt off. My tank was a previously established tank (Scape swap) and I havent dosed it yet. It would be worth looking into.
I have ferts but I did not dose this tank. I do add a little bit of Excel right after WC.
So WC can cause melting? What should I do? Just change once a month or wait on WC until I see the UG stabilize?
WCs can cause melting if your WC water contains N. I would test your WC water for it. Either way, I would back off the WCs and try to give it some stability before dosing and starting in on a good WC schedule once its established good.
i thought/read the same thing about UG not liking Nitrates until Tom Barr debunked it.
I have read that UG doesnt like DSM as well.
I bought $100 worth of UG that i was told was grown emersed. I planted it DSM, within a week i had lost over 1/2 of it to melting. I flooded my tank and the melting slowed and eventually stopped.
Hopefully yours is just adjusting to the flood like mine did
UG grows well for me and I've got a ton of N in my tap. Also add a bunch with EI dosing.
The only thing that's ever caused it to melt for me is an abrupt temperature change (extreme - something like going from 55F to 82F in a short period of time) and lighting.
Are you positive it's getting enough lighting from root to tip? When a patch is so thick that light can't penetrate to the base of the plant, it needs to be thinned and replanted.
Is it getting enough flow? UG does best for me when it's constantly moving with flowing water.
I'd ditch the Excel, only do one water change per week and start dosing regularly. That'll lend stability to the tank. As long as you're making sure there's enough flow and lighting, it'll likely turn around for you.
I think my water flow is really good. It moves the co2 bubbles from one side of the tank to the other side. I have a Ehiem 2217 in my 20L. If that is not enough I can always buy the Hydor 240 nano for more flow.
My other thoughts on why it was melting was because of the Excel. I know that Excel can melt some plants.
Tom Barr said that he dosed NO3 and KNO3. I have them both in dry form, how much do I add tomy 20L?
I dose full EI but it definitely depends upon your plant mass as a whole in the tank. UG doesn't use up that much when it comes to ferts but it's better to have too much than not enough, which is why I stick with EI.
Trimming can work but thinning and replanting seems to help this plant the most.
If anyone has any doubts as to the how UG grows with EI:
Most recent Nov 19th let's say:
What it looked like 9/19/2012
So in 2 months, it went from sickly Rummy nose eaten nubs, to a large group.
It's not done, it will end up in another 2-4 weeks like this:

I now this is for Siri and great for all Apple lovers out there.
Seeing as this uses the Google's Voice API, can it be ported to Android?
Would love to give it go, but I'm as far away from Apple as I prefer.

Hallo there,
cant get this thing running... i installed using the installer and everything seems to work fine...
i use an iphone 4s and edited the host file so
guzzoni.apple.com points to 192.168.2.26 (= my xbmc)
when i start the server and use siri the output is like this:
INFO <module> Starting Server
INFO __init__ Listening on port 443
INFO handle_accept Incoming connection from ('192.168.2.37', 58601)
INFO handle_accept Incoming connection from ('192.168.2.37', 58602)
INFO handle_accept Incoming connection from ('192.168.2.37', 58603)
But all Siri "says" is "I am sorry there is a problem"... "I cant help you right now, try later"...
any ideas what i missed?

I've installed and everything went quite smoothly, I've edited the XBMC.PY file entering host, username, password mac address etc - I was supposed to do that right?
Seems to work, I get the following output:
INFO read_next_object_from_unzipped Returning a Pong (11)
INFO process_recognized_speech Best matching result: "Xbmc info" with a confidence of 75.5%
INFO read_next_object_from_unzipped Received a Ping (12)
INFO read_next_object_from_unzipped Returning a Pong (12)
So it recognises what I say, but Siri just outputs:
'Sorry I don't understand Xbmc info'
What am I doing wrong?

Some of you may have heard about it, others maybe not, but in case you've missed it, Fred and I have decided to give away 50 free signed copies of his latest book, Don Rumsfeld & Dick Cheney In Hell.
Don Rumsfeld & Dick Cheney In Hell has begun to garner much more attention and praise, however, we still need your help to make it a bestseller this fall. Plain and simply, what we're willing to do is offer 50 signed copies for free, and in exchange all we ask you to do is to write and post an honest review on Amazon.com within 2 weeks of receiving your copy. That's it. However, if you'd like to post your review on other websites as well, that would be great too.
Why are we doing this? Your opinion of the book is what's going to make it or break it, but a void of that opinion leaves fellow readers scratching their heads in deciding on what to do. Think of how many people purchase books based solely on recommendation. We know that we've done it more than once before. And won't it be great to say that you played an instrumental role in making Don Rumsfeld & Dick Cheney In Hell the next bestseller?
How are we going to choose the 50 people? That's the easy part…it's completely random. On Tuesday, August 28th, we will notify the 50 eligible people who have been selected.
How can one be entered into this random selection? Again, very simple…if you are 18 or older just email David at firstname.lastname@example.com with a link to your Amazon profile so that we can verify that you actually do have an account with them, and title the subject line with Free Don & Dick Book Review Giveaway. We should point out that any International friends outside of the US will have to cover the cost of shipping only because we do not have the monetary means to do so. Our apologies for this, but understand we don't want anyone to be excluded.
Don't know how to find your Amazon profile? Once again, very easy. Follow this link: Your Profile; Then look under the top section titled "To edit your personal details" and you will see a link to "Your Profile." Once you've followed that and signed-in, just copy the URL address and you're done. But if you come across any problems please don't hesitate to ask for help, we're more than happy to.
How long is this giveaway running for? Good question. We unfortunately have to put a time limit on this, so everyone has until midnight on August 27th. We will contact the 50 random recipients the following day, as well as post the results online so that we all know who is responsible for writing a review (obviously their contact information will not be posted or made public).
If you have any questions regarding any part of this please feel free to contact David at email@example.com.
Thanks again everyone for such great support and feedback, and we are positive you will love Don Rumsfeld & Dick Cheney In Hell (pun intended).
P.S. Just so everyone is clear about this, we will not sell, rent, lease, loan, or give away anyone's information. We may send a follow-up email after the 50 recipients are chosen regarding Don Rumsfeld & Dick Cheney In Hell, but that will be it, and if you request to not be contacted please let us know and we will make sure that you do not receive anything else from us from that point on.

I know that Whole Foods carries a TON of travel size health and beauty items.

Alleged Justin Bieber and Ashton Kutcher "Swatter" Arrested
After calling the police to report false gun-related activities at the homes of stars like Justin Bieber and Ashton Kutcher, the person responsible for the "swatting" pranks was arrested last week.
An unnamed juvenile was taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department on December 10th in connection with the Hollywood hoaxes.
Back in October, law enforcement rushed to Ashton Kutcher's residence after someone called 911 about an armed home invasion that supposedly left people shot.
Just one week later, a similar call brought police to the Bieb's house, only to find that the call was also a prank. The swatter is alleged to have been involved in other false alarms, causing police to divert their attention from real emergencies.

Brinkley-Paschall Photo Report
By Robert Perea at ringside
Almost as soon as the verdict was announced, many at ringside began speculating on whether Jesse Brinkley's performance in a 10-round unanimous decision over Mike Paschall was enough to earn him the big money bout he's been seeking. Brinkley himself had far more pressing issues on his mind. "I want to go catch an 8-pound bass out of a bass pond," he said. Brinkley (34-5-0, 22 KOs), of Yerington, NV overcame conditioning issues, a cut between his eyes from an accidental head butt and a game effort by Paschall, of Baltimore, MD for his eighth consecutive win before a crowd of 2,226 at the Reno Events Center in Reno, NV. Judges Burt Clements and Herb Santos each scored the bout 97-93, while C.J. Ross had it 96-94. Fightnews.com had it 97-93 for Brinkley.

"I'm not going to say this was a bad outing because we got the win, but I know I can do a lot better than this," Brinkley said. "I know if I was in better condition this would probably have been a five-round fight."
Brinkley weighed in for the bout right at the 175-pound weight limit, the heaviest he'd ever been for a bout and two pounds heavier than Paschall. Brinkley said he weighed as much as 207 pounds before he began training, and he had to lose 32 pounds in four and a half weeks. He still weighed 192 pounds four days before the fight.
"I felt so weak from losing all that weight," he said. "I did it so wrong, and it's no one else's fault but mine for getting that heavy in between fights. I tried to feint him a few times, I tried countering his counter, and I tried sucking him into things, but I was just so slow at 175 that it's almost embarrassing."
Brinkley still managed to save his best for last. He dominated the 10th round, by far his best round of the night, even though it was also the most aggressive round by Paschall.
"In round 9 and 10 my coach said 'Listen son, you got to get on this guy,'" Brinkley said. "If this had been a 12-round fight he wouldn't have made it through the 11th and 12th. He was ready to go."
Paschall had never gone past eight rounds, and only three times had he gone longer than six.
"I was so excited, like man, I'm in the 10th round with this guy," Paschall said. "I kept trying to wait for a big punch. I wanted to just close the show, and he would throw a bunch of little flurries and catch me."
Brinkley took the fight to Paschall in the first two rounds, but Paschall was only happy to oblige. Paschall caught Brinkley with an accidental head butt about a minute into the third round, opening a cut on the inside edge of Brinkley's left eyebrow. His cornermen were able to stop the bleeding between rounds, and it never again became an issue.
"Right when it happened it felt a lot worse than it really was," Brinkley said.
Paschall did his best work in the middle rounds, clearly getting the best of things in the fifth and sixth.
Brinkley regained control in the seventh, consistently winning exchanges two-to-one or three-to-two, and often tagged Paschall with single shots while Paschall missed wildly.
"There was times I stood and banged with him, there was times I tried to box him. There was times that I seen that I could press him when I took his confidence a little bit, but he's a veteran," Paschall said. "He knows when to take breaks, but I didn't capitalize on that because I took a break when he took a break."
Brinkley, who hadn't fought against a lefthander in about six years, said he had a hard time figuring how to attack Paschall's southpaw style.
"I had problems the whole way through, so when I got in there if felt like I was still trying to learn new things with him," Brinkley said. "He wasn't as fast as I thought he'd be and he was a lot harder to hit than I thought he'd be."
The loss was just the second of his career for Paschall (19-2-1, 4 KOs), and he said he wants to get back in action quickly.
"My trainer, he's my biggest critic, and he said now we've been 10 rounds, now we know what happens," Paschall said.
Brinkley hopes having another win under his belt pushes him closer to the title shot he hopes to get, maybe as soon as this fall. He said he plans to start training again almost immediately after giving his cut a week to heal.
"I'll fight King Kong for King Kong money," he said. "I'm going to be in camp longer than four weeks though, so no matter who we fight or what we do, I guarantee the next time will be a lot better outing."
Hinkey brothers split
Brothers Tyler and Derek Hinkey, both members of the Paiute-Shoshone tribe of McDermitt, NV, found themselves on the opposite end of a pair of unpopular decisions.
Andrae Carthron (3-2-2) of Los Angeles won a 6-round majority decision over Tyler Hinkey in a heavyweight bout.
The crowd booed the decision, while Hinkey appeared to be too stunned to react.
"I actually thought I won the fight," Hinkey said. "I decided to bang him and it made it an interesting fight for the people here."
Carthron said he was able to outlast Hinkey by wearing him down in the last two rounds.
"I was able to capitalize on him running out of gas in the late and middle rounds," he said.
Judge C.J. Ross scored the bout a draw at 57-57, while Eric Cheek and Burt Clements each had 58-56 in favor of Carthron. Fightnews.com had it 58-56 for Hinkey.
Derek Hinkey, meanwhile, had the good fortune his brother lacked. Derek Hinkey (8-1-0, 7 KOs) took a 6-round unanimous decision over Loren Myers (7-6-0, 2 KOs) of Fresno, CA in a middleweight bout.
Hinkey won the bout 58-56 on two of the judges' scorecards, and 59-56 on the other. Fightnews.com had it 59-56 for Myers.
The decision was greeted with a loud chorus of boos, but Hinkey said it was the correct one.
"I hoped I dismissed the critics saying I'm just a heavy hitter and I can box now," he said. "I don't think he clearly hit me with anything clean and hard. I think the only real shots he got was when I think my machismo still does get involved and my bravado does get there and I sit on the ropes."
Russian invasion
It took barely over a minute combined for brothers Fedor and Dmitry Chudinov of Moscow, Russia to win their respective professional debuts.
On the first punch he threw as a professional, super middleweight Fedor Chudinov landed a straight right to the jaw of Shawn Kirk (4-5-0, 2 KOs) of Lexington, KY, sending Kirk to the canvas. Referee Robert Byrd counted Kirk out at 33 seconds of the first round.
Dmitry Chudinov needed three punches to send Otis Chennault (1-2-0), of Atlanta, GA, to the canvas about 20 seconds into the first round of their middleweight bout. Chennault quickly got to his feet, but Chudinov almost immediately floored him again, prompting Byrd to stop the fight at 40 seconds of the first round.
In the semi main event, Rustam Nugaev of Perm, Russia joined his countrymen as victors with a 6th round TKO of Orlando Membreno of Managua, Nicaragua in a lightweight bout.
Nugaev never knocked Membreno to the canvas, but he battered him enough in the sixth round to prompt Membreno's corner to waive the white towel.
"We expected that we would finish him in the sixth round," Nugaev said, speaking through an interpreter. "He was taking too many punches. We expected a Mexican style fight, a tough guy who can take punches."
In other bouts on the card:
*Andrew Rempp, 127, of Yerington, NV won a four-round unanimous decision over Jose Pacheco, 123, of Guanajuato, Mexico.
Rempp, who is Brinkley's cousin, earned his first professional win in his third try. He is now 1-1-1. Pacheco falls to 2-7-6.
Rempp bloodied Pacheco in the first round, and had Pacheco wobbling in the second and fourth rounds, but was unable to send the smaller man to the canvas.
*Leo Santa Cruz, 119 of Lincoln Heights, CA stayed unbeaten at 9-0-1 (2KOs) with a unanimous decision over Johnathan Velardez, 118, of Houston, TX. Velardez dropped to 6-2-0 with 4 KOs.
Judges Eric Cheek and Herb Santos scored the bout 59-55 and Burt Clements had it 58-56 for Santa Cruz.
*Matt Remillard, 129, of Hartford, CT made quick work of Tyler Ziolowski, 135, of St. Joseph, MO with a knockout at 1:30 of the first round. Remillard landed a vicious left hook to Ziolowski's ribs, and Ziolowski immediately crumpled to the mat. Remillard stayed undefeated at 17-0-0 with 10 KOs, while Ziolowski slipped to 11-8-0 with 6 KOs.

A SPRIGHTLY pensioner is to strut his stuff on the Sky1 talent show Got To Dance.
While most people of his age enjoy a quiet time in their twilight years, Edward Clarke has been showcasing his moves on the stage with his troupe, Eddie's Angels.
The 96-year-old, from Wrexham, sparked national interest last year after the Leader reported that he was a fan of the latest dance-exercise sensation, Zumba.
Edward is the only male member of his over-50s Zumba group and the 20-or-so women in the class are happy to appear as his backing dancers.
He said: "A lot of people think because you're old you can't dance, you've gone loopy but none of it is true.
"I love to dance because it keeps my mind going."
Edward attends a Zumba class in Wrexham as well as a dancing class in Llangollen, where Eddie's Angels was formed.
Edward and his angels, whose ages range from 44-81, auditioned in Manchester before travelling to London to film for the show.
A Sky1 spokesman said: "Every Monday morning they get together and spend an hour dancing and keeping fit.
"The whole group looks forward to their Monday morning class, especially those who are on their own and have lonely weekends.
"Eddie loves being around all the ladies and is a real charmer.
"He has been dancing since he was nine. He only started because he thought it would help get the ladies.
"One thing the group do struggle with is getting more men to attend their group.
"They hope Eddie will be a shining example and that Got to Dance will give them more exposure."
The fourth series of Got to Dance returned to television screens on January 6 with a brand new judging line-up, including JLS star Aston Merrygold and Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt.
The show, hosted by Davina McCall, is searching for Britain and Ireland's best new dance act, who will win a prize of £250,000.
Eddie's Angels is not the only Wrexham dance act to feature on the show.
Tom Lloyd, 14, a pupil at Ysgol y Grango in Rhos, is through to the final 100 after his moves earned three gold stars from the judges on a previous show.
Self-taught street dancer Tom, who has been honing his skills at home for the past three years, is now waiting to hear if he makes the final 30.
- Find out how Eddie's Angels get on at their audition by watching Got To Dance on Sky1 on Sunday at 6pm.

Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition - iPad Review
Digitally Downloaded sends word of their review of the iPad release of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, which carries a score of 5/5:
The most compelling reason to buy the game is there's the fact it's on the iPad for the first time naturally, and the delivery both succeeds and fails. For the most part the interface is comfortably laid out and the chance of death-by-accidental-tap is almost non-existent. On the other hand, there isn't a clear enough indication when you have tapped on an enemy. A couple of times I'd lost a round of combat because I had thought that I told my hero to slash at the troll, but he instead moved next to the monster and stood there twiddling his thumbs.
It's also slightly problematic that the movement of the heroes is mapped to roughly the same touch screen command as the map scrolling action. A tap and swipe will move the map around, and this is fine, but often when I took my finger off the screen after scrolling around for a bit, the game would register that as a "tap" and send my party of heroes wandering off somewhere I didn't necessarily want them to venture. It's workable, but occasionally irritating.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Whether you need STCW depends on how big a license you want and what you want to do with it. If all you want to do is inland and near coastal stuff 100GT or smaller, you don't need it. I did my best to avoid it. Normally, I would suggest upgrading your license whenever possible but if you don't have a need for over 100GT near coastal, don't upgrade since you will need STCW unless you have already taken it for personal reasons. It isn't a bad course, it is just really expensive and time consuming.
to my knowledge, STCW 95, is not required for a typical (OUPV) 6 pack license in the States.
But if you're contemplating any work overseas, or the carribean, STCW 95 Basic Safety training will be a requirement. Or as Redstripe states, any yachts that will visit foreign ports would likely require you have it. There are 3 day classes for under 200 ton...and 5 day classes for 200 ton and above. The classes I see are in Mobile, Jacksonville and a few other locations.
|Yeah, you gotta get your STCW basic safety training. If you want to work any yachts that's a must have.
Thanks all for the feedback. Right now Im a layed off 50 year old IT guy trying to reinvent myself into something I love doing. OUPV is first step. Been looking into the Maritime Academies, but they seem focused on younger students.. So something in between.. STCW 95 maybe..

The coast guard has a formula for what tonnage they give, based on the amount of time spent on the vessel.
Remember that this is Gross tonnage..( carrying capacity, a volume measurement ) not the weight of the vessel....there are calculators for this online
I believe....1 day above 25 gt will get you a 50 gt ton license...but the jump up to 100 gt tons requires ...I believe 180 days.....don't shoot me if I'm wrong on that....you can look it up on their website! it's in the CFR...somewhere in 46 CFR
You have to be actively engaged in the operation of the vessel....so being a cook doesn't qualify...who know how that happened?
falsifying time served is a serious offense..something like 5 years imprisonment and $5,000 fine.
|if you want to go for higher tonnage licenses you need to get your able seaman ticket and then sail on that. once you get 1080 days on a larger boat ( > 200 GRT) and take about five months and $25,000 worth of classes you'll be able to sit for your 500 GRT masters or 1600 GRT mates. with the new USCG reg and STCW requirements if you want an unlimited ticket your best option is to go to a maritime academy.
|My experience was with 5 and 11 gross ton vessels and they gave me a 50 ton license. Not sure what formula they use. Good luck on the test.
Regarding taking the test, I have always filled out the highest tonnage possible (in your case 100) when doing an upgrade then let them decide what to give me.
The tonnage requirements are staggered by tonnage and number of days so you can often get a higher tonnage if you put in enough days. There is no requirement that you are captaining a vessel to get sea time, you just have to be actively involved in the vessel's operation. I actually know a cook on a vessel who has a license but does not know the first thing about actually running it. Pretty scary to me but those are the rules.
OUPV Masters License question
Im getting ready to take my OUPV test in a couple days. Ive got all the sea time I need for the standard inland license as I own my own boat (360 days since 15 years of age, 90 of those days in the last 3 years).
I want to get my Masters inland license with 25, 50 or 100 tonnage, but I believe they award you tonnage ratings by whats called "recency experience", meaning what you have gained your most recent experience on.
This begs the question (at least for me) how do you get a Captains experience (like steering) on a high tonnage vessel, before you have the credentials to actually steer & command? If Im a deck hand, for 3 years, pass the test, then I can just step up to the bridge the day after, and take command? Im missing something here..

Anne Heche Loses Custody of Homer. Says, "D'OH!"
Primary custody of Anne Heche's son, Homer, has been awarded to the boy's father, Coley Laffoon. In addition, Heche has been ordered to pay child support to her soon-to-be ex-spouse. E! News reports that a source hinted that Laffoon, a freelance videographer, had been hoping to get $33,000 a month from Heche to keep up his "marital standard of living," but has found that the spousal and child support that he was actually awarded recently is for a whole lot less. Anne will be seeing Homer on alternate weekends, and is getting ready to return to Vancouver in order to begin production on season two of Heche's TV comedy, "Men in Trees." Originally, Laffoon had been expected to bring the couple's 5-year-old son to Vancouver, where the boy will spend the summer with his mother, when the divorcing couple seemed to have agreed to a short-lived truce last month. However, this new ruling may change that plan altogether.
In this whole story, all I could really focus on was the fact that Anne has returned to Vancouver to shoot a whole new season of "Men in Trees," which has recently become a guilty pleasure of mine. So, YAY! Anne, baby, I'm just trying to see the glass as being half-full. Don't hate. Also, this will give you a whole summer to go out and party like a Hollywood single mom. Woo hoo! Jello shots for everybody!

Will Middlesbrough be partying by the Riverside tonight?
By Lee Dover
Middlesbrough take on Sheffield Wednesday in Friday night's live nPower Championship game at 7.45pm.
Boro are on an impressive eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions and will be top of the table – until Crystal Palace play Derby tomorrow – should they overcome the Owls who are looking for back-to-back away wins after beating Ipswich at the end of October.
Tony Mowbray's side have seen off Hull City and Bolton Wanderers as well as great derby rivals Sunderland in the Capital One Cup in recent games but were held 0-0 by Nottingham Forest mid-week.
First-team coach Mark Proctor was deputising for Mowbray who was in bed with the flu and said afterwards:
We were playing against a very good Forest team who have some good players. We always knew it would be a tough game for us. All in all there were opportunities at either end and a draw was probably the right result.
Sheffield Wednesday are on 15 points – 14 points behind Boro and hovering over the Championship drop zone after a disastrous September.
It started brightly for The Owls, when they drew with Derby County and won against Birmingham City and Millwall in their opening three games but they then lost six on the bounce in all competitions.
Owls manager Dave Jones is staying upbeat even though his team lost 2-0 at home to Blackpool on Tuesday despite having plenty of chances in front of goal.
The encouraging thing for us is that against a very good side we have been in it for long periods.
But Wednesday will need to be more than 'in it'this evening against a Middlesbrough side that have won their last three head-to-head clashes against them.

What is the first word that comes to mind when you think of the word "food"? For advocates of Slow Food, "pleasure" should be one of them, the type of pleasure we get when we feel connected to the place, the people and the process of creating healthy and delicious food.
Not surprisingly, Slow Food started in Italy where people were accustomed to gathering together to savor locally grown and prepared food (and wine!) over the course of many hours. When Italians were confronted with the "fast food" of McDonalds, some of them took to the streets. Led by Carlos Petrini, a movement was born, and in 1989 the Slow Food Manifesto was signed by delegates from 15 countries. The movement has since spread to over 150 countries world wide, including many local chapters throughout the US.
According to Carl Honoré, author of In Praise of Slowness, the central message of the Slow Food movement is that we get more pleasure and increased health benefits from our food when we cultivate, cook, and consume it at a reasonable pace. Don't worry; this is not about the food police busting you if you eat at your desk or in your car, or if you microwave a meal once in a while. And you don't have to chew each bite twenty times. Its mission is to remind us that there is great pleasure to be found in spending more time with our food. Maybe we enjoy being outdoors tending fruit trees or a vegetable bed. Or, perhaps we love the smell of baked goods, or the sight of jars of freshly made jams and preserves. Possibly we want to sharpen our skills in the kitchen preparing a special dish, or create a celebratory feast from start to finish. And for some of us, it may simply mean having fun sharing a homemade meal with friends from time to time.
This sense of creating connections through food is central. There are the connections to place which are found by celebrating regional foods and cuisine. Enjoying our food more slowly includes the experience of place and seasons through the foods we prepare and enjoy. What are the food traditions where we live? How can we take part in, nurture, and relish the fruits of the land around us? And as we travel (slowly or virtually), how can savor the special flavors—the spice of life—of other places?
Then there are the connections that come from "breaking bread together" as a means of deepening our bonds with one another. Something unique happens when we take the time to share a meal together, especially one that we have had a hand in creating. In addition, our cultural and family food traditions can bring us together and connect us to who we are. By keeping in touch with these culinary customs we stay linked through the generations. Is there a particular apple or tomato that our grandparents grew, or a special bread or cookie made for holidays?
In order to have quality local food products available, we need good quality food locally grown and produced. The Slow Food movement advocates for the protection of agricultural lands for the long term health of our food systems. It promotes local, organic production, family farms, and small-scale processors and sellers. The growing number of farmers markets and CSAs (community supported agriculture) is a good indicator of how appealing the idea is becoming. According to Entrepreneur Magazine, a majority of Americans are now interested in having a more direct connection to their food, such as shopping at a farmers' market.
Slow Food is likely the fastest growing part of the all–encompassing Slow Movement. It now includes the establishment of seed banks to preserve heirloom varieties of plants, the Ark of Taste to record the food traditions of different regions, tools for helping small–scale processing of food stuffs, the promotion of taste education events, and classes to teach gardening skills to everyone from children to prisoners, among many other activities. Given the centrality of food in our lives and the pleasure it can bring, it is no wonder that Slow Food is often the first taste of the benefits of slowing down in order to live better, more fulfilling lives.
