Public health, tourism and the environment in Florida suffered a major loss this week when the federal government put the protection of state waters back into the hands of the very people who have polluted them — big business and its enablers in Tallahassee. In a letter to the state, the Environmental Protection Agency dropped its effort to adopt clean water standards for Florida following 13 years of foot-dragging by state officials. This is either Washington's way to force the state's hand or a decision by the Obama administration not to alienate Florida in the run-up to the 2012 election. Either way, it's a risky game of chicken with a governor and a state Legislature that have shown no regard for the environment and clean water.
A brief history: The federal government told the states in 1998 to limit nutrient pollution in rivers, lakes and coastal areas by 2004 or it would do the job for them. But 2004 came and went. Florida environmental groups sued in 2008 seeking to compel the EPA to intervene under the Clean Water Act. The agency settled the case in 2009 under an agreement it would draft the standards for Florida. After 11 years of stalling, new rules were on the way and expected this year. Then Monday, after howls of complaints from business groups and state lawmakers, the EPA said it would give Florida another chance. The agency did not agree to preapproving any rules or to surrendering its rulemaking authority entirely. But it agreed to give Florida the time to write new clean water standards of its own.
This concession was as close to an all-out surrender as they come, and it's a shame EPA lost its nerve in the face of a massive disinformation campaign. State leaders and business interests hijacked the debate by ponying up inflated estimates for what it would cost to clean up Florida's waters. The EPA agreed to a host of loopholes — exempting entire industrial operations from the clean water rules, creating a waiver process and dragging out enforcement. Still, the state went to court to protect the biggest polluters. For this, Florida gets rewarded with another chance?
The charitable excuse is that the EPA wanted to give Florida another opportunity to show good faith. But the state could have delivered in 2002. Or in 2004. Or in the years since. The state's intent is not to ensure that the standards are appropriate for Florida's hydrology, but to render them meaningless, to run out the clock, to save money and to create loopholes big enough for the worst polluters to carry on as usual. EPA based its rules, after all, on the state's own science. The rules were a decade in the making, put into motion by President George W. Bush and crafted in concert with two previous Republican governors. It is long beyond time for Washington to intervene.
Pollution taints 2,000 miles of the state's rivers, 380,000 acres of its lakes and 569 square miles of its coastal areas. Runoff from farms, utilities and sewer plants sparks fish kills, taints the public drinking water supply, damages waterfront property and tourist attractions and causes outbreaks of respiratory illness and other diseases. These are the real cost implications Gov. Rick Scott and the Legislature need to consider — along with the cost of cleaning up even dirtier waterways. The EPA sold Floridians short by putting its faith in a governor who thinks government regulation is the problem. If Florida fails to follow through and meet its obligation to write and enforce clean water rules in the near future — and the odds are good that it will fail — the EPA should be prepared to retake control or prepare for another lawsuit.

The design and field test of a novel sensor system based in autonomous wireless sensors to measure the temperature of the heat transfer fluid along a borehole heat exchanger (BHE) is presented. The system, by means of two specials valves, inserts and extracts miniaturized wireless sensors inside the pipes of the borehole, which are carried by the thermal fluid. Each sensor is embedded in a small sphere of just 25 mm diameter and 8 gr weight, containing a transceiver, a microcontroller, a temperature sensor and a power supply. A wireless data processing unit transmits to the sensors the acquisition configuration before the measurements, and also downloads the temperature data measured by the sensor along its way through the BHE U-tube. This sensor system is intended to improve the conventional thermal response test (TRT) and it allows the collection of information about the thermal characteristics of the geological structure of subsurface and its influence in borehole thermal behaviour, which in turn, facilitates the implementation of TRTs in a more cost-effective and reliable way.
In recent years the growth in the number of air conditioning systems driven by ground source heat pumps (GSHP) or geothermal heat pumps (GHP) is estimated between 10% and 30% each year [
A geothermal heat pump is a heat pump which uses the subsurface as source or sink of heat, being a more convenient energy source. The most remarkable effect of the use of ground heat exchange through a borehole heat exchanger (BHE) is the reduction of electrical energy consumption, compared with the consumption of the standard technology based on air heat exchange. Therefore, CO2 emissions associated with the use of electric power decreases substantially [
Additionally, it has been demonstrated that energy efficiency potential improvement in air conditioning systems based on GSHP can be as large as 30%, by performing a proper management of the different equipment making up the air conditioning system [
The BHE length needed for a given output power greatly depends on subsurface characteristics, such as temperature, particle size and shape, moisture content, and heat transfer coefficients. Due to these factors the completion of a thermal response test (TRT), determining ground thermal properties, is very important. Correct sizing of the BHE is a cause for design concern. Key points are building load, borehole spacing, borehole fill material and site characterization. Over-sizing carries a much higher penalty than in conventional applications. The importance of having TRT techniques is illustrated by the initiative of the Energy Conservation through Energy Storage (ECES), Implementing Agreement (IA) of International Energy Agency (IEA), to launch in 2006 the Annex 21, Thermal Response Test [
The TRT was first developed in Sweden and the USA in 1995 [
The impact of ambient temperature in TRT measurements has also been studied, and it has been proposed a method to filter this effect in the results of conventional TRT [
The aim of the sensor system is to determine the spatial and temporal behaviour of the fluid temperature along the BHE, so it is necessary to measure the temperature of the fluid flowing through the pipe along the entire length. To do so, miniature temperature probes are introduced inside the BHE tube to measure the temperature at specified intervals. The required system features are: integration capability into standard TRT equipment, easiness of use of the sensor system (configuration, acquisition and data storage) and complete independence between spatial resolution, temporal resolution and sampling time. To meet these requirements it will be used "autonomous wireless smart sensors" technology. This technology simplifies both the autonomous sensor configuration and data downloading steps performed by the operator because they are based on specific software. Moreover, it will also facilitate the mechanical sensor handling because the absence of electric terminals and the sphere watertightness. Besides that, it includes a simple and cost-effective temperature sensor, based on Pt100, that will allow to eliminate the dependence between spatial, temporal and temperature resolution shown by other sensor systems, as those based on fiber optics.
The sensor system includes the autonomous sensor, the software for sensor configuration, storage and processing of the thermal data, and two special valves for insertion and extraction of the autonomous sensor into the BHE pipe. The sensor has to be inserted manually in the U-tube using the special valves each time the user wants to measure a temperature profile.
Also, a set of sensors monitor several variables during the running of TRT, such as the flow of water that circulates, the inlet and outlet water temperature of BHE, the temperature of the tank, as well as the pressure in the pipes.
The autonomous sensor is the key component of the sensor system. It is an electronic device that measures the thermal evolution of an elementary volume of water along the BHE pipe. Its size must be as small as possible so they can move easily through the pipes carried by the water flow but, at the same time, its size has to be enough for containing an acquisition system, temporary storage and unloading capability of temperature data. To achieve these functions, an electronic circuit has been designed based on the CC1010 transceiver that can be packaged in a polioxymethylene (POM) sphere with diameter smaller than 25 mm. It has been designed a 4-layer PCBs for mounting all the necessary components, (see Temperature range: 0–40 °C Resolution temperature: <0.05 °C Accuracy temperature: ±0.05 °C Sampling interval: 0.1–25 s Sampling capacity: 1,000 samples
Temperature range: 0–40 °C
Resolution temperature: <0.05 °C
Accuracy temperature: ±0.05 °C
Sampling interval: 0.1–25 s
Sampling capacity: 1,000 samples
The mode of operation of the autonomous sensors is as follows: First, the control system selects an available probe and changes its status from low-power to configuration mode. Then, the parameters of sampling are transferred to the probe, and the probe is inserted into the BHE water flow. The probe automatically starts the process of acquiring and storing water temperature at fixed intervals. Once the travel along the whole BHE pipe is completed, the probe is extracted, the temperature data are downloaded to the control system and the probe goes to low-power mode.
In order to accurately determine the position of the sensor inside the pipe, it is needed to ensure that the sensor is carried by the water flow at the same speed. This is achieved by controlling that the density of the sphere that constitutes the probe is very close to the density of the thermal fluid. In most cases the thermal fluid is water, so the spherical probe of 25 mm diameter has been engineered for a total weight of 8.2 gr, thus its density is exactly 1.002 gr/cm3. Under these circumstances, knowing the flow rate and the pipe internal diameter (32 mm) is immediate to calculate the speed of the autonomous probe and, consequently, its position. Experimental tests have demonstrated that, under these circumstances, the error in determining the probe position along the tube is less than 2% for all the flow rates considered (700–1,300 L/h). The probe has been tested until a pressure of 4 atmospheres, but its elevated wall thickness/radius ratio (wall thickness is 1.5 mm and radius is 12.5 mm, so ratio is 12%) and its spherical shape suggest that it can operate properly under much more elevated pressures. The key factor for success in using these autonomous probes lies in the duration of the power supply. Each probe carries a battery type button 3 V and 68 mAh, which guarantees the proper functioning of the probes during more than a year for the duty cycle they perform. The management of work and rest cycles and the use of 14.7456 MHz and 32.768 kHz crystals during periods of wireless communication and capture temperature, respectively, are fundamental to achieve the duration theoretically calculated.
Moreover, the electronic circuit in which the temperature sensor is integrated has also been designed to minimize consumption and maximize the miniaturization and precision, using an energy management protocol that keeps the autonomous sensor on low-power state except during the short periods of configuration, acquisition and data download.
The temperature sensor element is a planar Pt100 from TC Direct®, A-class according to IEC 60751, mounted on a ceramic substrate of size 2 × 2 × 0.4 mm. The polarization current was set to 1 mA, and it is provided by a power source based on a MAX9004 low-power operational amplifier IC. Output signal conditioning is performed by a MAX4197 instrumentation amplifier IC, as illustrated in
Each sensor is individually calibrated by means of a thermal bath FRIGITERM 600038 from PSELECTA®. A high accuracy thermal probe Pt100 from TC Direct®, class 1/10 according to IEC 60751, is used as reference. The use of an AGILENT U3402A high precision digital multimeter provides the required accuracy for proper calibration.
The microcontroller inside the transceiver is responsible for management of communications, data acquisition and power management. The firmware developed has four states: "power down", "configuration", "in acquisition" and "download".
The autonomous sensor is in "power down" state while waiting to be used for a measurement. A reset signal wakes-up the microcontroller and sets its state to "configuration". In this state, a wireless communication session is established between the autonomous sensor and the PC to identify the sensor and to configure it to make the measurements. The protocol is very simple in order to achieve high energy efficiency and power savings. The configuration messages are short and the acknowledgments are minimized. This is possible because distances between transceivers are very small, so error rate is low.
When the configuration is completed, the sensor changes to "in acquisition" state. Along the pipe, the autonomous sensor remains in sleep mode and changes to "acquisition" mode only when is required to perform a measurement, according with the previously loaded configuration. When acquiring, the sensor makes a measure, saves the temperature in internal memory, and puts the microcontroller in sleep mode again.
When all measurements are completed, the sensor changes to "download" state. In this mode the sensor establishes a wireless connection with the laptop and transfers all the stored data. Once the transfer is completed, the autonomous sensor is put in "power down" state again.
Due the fact that the sensor is enclosed in a waterproof POM case, is impossible to change the power source. Experimental test has been conducted in order to verify the number of measures that the autonomous sensor can perform. Using a coin Lithium battery CR1620 as shown in
It has been developed a program for PC that controls the configuration, execution, data storage and graphical plotting. The graphical user interface (GUI) is showed in
The program asks for information about the physical parameters of the BHE, as borehole depth and diameter, fluid density and viscosity, flow rate,
Intensive laboratory tests were performed to ensure the proper behavior of the autonomous unit and the required software. A laboratory installation was built to simulate a BHE, as shown in
A 5 m long U-pipe has been arranged in spiral layout to perform several tests regarding transit time verification, response time of the temperature sensor and correlation of temperature measurements between the probes and the thermal fluid.
Using this setup, it has been experimentally validated that the autonomous sensor speed inside the U-tube is the same that the speed of the water flow, obtaining a position error smaller than 2% for all the flow rates considered (700–1,300 L/h).
Additionally, since the autonomous probe is continuously moving along the tube while performing the temperature measurements, the response time of the element used as temperature sensor (Pt100) must be precisely known to correlate with the values of temperature measuring point. According to the experimental measurements, the response time is quite small, being 0.5 s to reach 66% of the final temperature, and 1.5 s to reach 90%. The autonomous sensor speed depends on the flow rate and the pipe section and, for the flow rates considered, its value is between 24 cm/s (flow rate of 700 L/h) and 45 cm/s (flow rate of 1,300 L/h). This means that during the time required for the temperature sensor to stabilize, the autonomous probe has travelled 70 cm (worst case, 45 cm/s × 1.5 s). Given than, typically, the temperature change along 70 cm inside a borehole is very small, it can be considered that this effect is negligible and temperature measurement error is only dependent on the sensor resolution.
A 30 m deep borehole with a polyethylene (PE100) U-pipe of 30 m length has been drilled on the main campus of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. Both pipes are kept 100 mm far away by installing polyethylene separators every 2 m deep. The BHE length is modest because of budget constraints, but it is deep enough to test the sensor system and to evaluate novel methods and analysis techniques. The diameter of borehole is 160 mm and the geological profile presents five layers with the piezometric surface at 3 m depth. The well was filled with grout after U-pipes insertion. A 3 kW electric heater and a circulation pump, allow us completed injection test of heat, while input and output temperatures (accuracy of 0.1 °C) and water flow (accuracy of 1%) are recorded.
By means of special valves, the autonomous sensor can be inserted (and extracted) into (from) the BHE pipes while the water is flowing during a TRT.
On January 20, 2011, during a heat injection test of 2 kW and 2 h after the start, the autonomous sensor was inserted into the U-tube of 30 m. The sensor was configured to acquire the temperature every meter and the flow was set to 725 L/h.
As can be seen from the
The design of more efficient GSHP systems tailored to subsurface conditions requires new tools and methods for calculating thermal subsurface properties, especially in the case of large BHE systems [
It has been verified in both laboratory and field tests, that it is possible to insert and extract the small probes, containing a miniaturized acquisition system, for temperature monitoring of the water flowing along the pipes of the BHE. The probes are properly configured by wireless transmission. The probe completes the acquisition along the whole U-tube and, also by wireless transmission, downloads the acquired data to a PC. The data collected and recorded provides information about heat exchange efficiency as a function of borehole depth. This information is extremely valuable for the right sizing of BHE. It allows the study and quantification of subsurface effects usually hidden for conventional TRTs, such as underground water flows, the effects of convective layers,
Finally, the data provided by the wireless sensor system opens the door to detailed quantitative assessment of the subsurface thermal conductivity as function of depth. Additional work needs to be done in the future because this method has still a large potential for further development. This additional work concerns the development of new TRT models and analysis tools adapted to the thermal data provided by this novel instrument.

There's your problem. Your "IPS" device is set to not use
auto-negotiation, but always force 100 Mbps/full duplex. Since your
m0n0wall's NIC is set to do auto-negotiation, it drops to 100
Mbps/half duplex, and that's why you're getting collisions. So either
force your m0n0wall to use 100 Mbps/full duplex on WAN as well (by
modifying config.xml manually - see
http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/faq-hiddenopts.html), or simply set the
IPS to do auto-negotiation.
This is a classic problem and not at all m0n0wall-specific.

Are you there?
sorry tim, it said you were offline
The service person I had investigate disconnected all of the rubber hoses and inspected them. The only thing he did not do was remove the condensate trap mounted on the side of the furnace. The way it was installed makes it difficult to remove. The installer ran PVC pile to the output of the trap. Is the trap what should be replaced?
okay, will attempt this. Figure 7 on page 9 is the configuration I have.
One more thought, if it is plugged, how does that explain that it does not exhibit this problem all the time?
This did not end up fixing the issue. I left the furnace cover off and noticed the inducer motor housing bulges slightly simultaneously with the gurgling noises. Any further ideas?
I threw in the towel and called a service person to come out. He replaced the inducer motor/housing as he thought the bearing was going bad. He is coming back today because I'm still getting error code 31. I hope we can somehow clean/inspect the vent too the roof first we have to figure out which vent on the roof is from my unit.

STILLWATER, Okla. --- When Augusta State defeated Oklahoma State on its home turf a day earlier, coach Josh Gregory gathered his players and told them they still had one more match to win.
After Mitch Krywulycz delivered the Jaguars' second point in Sunday's final, Gregory sprinted down the 17th fairway back to the 16th green to catch the last match, yelling out, "One more."
One more was the rallying cry for Augusta State for the past year.
And when dusk settled Sunday at Karsten Creek Golf Club, the Jaguars got just what they came for -- one more.
Augusta State added its second consecutive NCAA title when it defeated Georgia, 3-2, in the championship portion of match play. The Jaguars became the first team in 26 years to win back-to-back NCAA Division I titles.
"We worked hard. We wanted this. We knew we could get it. And we went out and got it. Twice," senior Carter Newman said. "That's pretty sweet."
Olle Bengtsson, Taylor Floyd, Henrik Norlander, Patrick Reed and Krywulycz and Newman each helped Augusta State win a national championship -- the first coming in 2010 at The Honors Course in Ooltewah, Tenn. When it came time to play the NCAA Championship this year on Oklahoma State's venue, Augusta State proved again up to the task.
The Jaguars survived three difficult days of stroke play and then knocked off in-state rivals Georgia Tech and Georgia, along with a win over the hometown favorite Cowboys in the middle.
"It's pretty special. It's tough to believe," Norlander said. "We have a great team, and we have a deep team."
Reed, who drove Sunday night to Memphis, Tenn., to partake in his first professional event, the PGA Tour's FedEx St. Jude Classic, displayed dogged determination all week, finishing in a tie for third in stroke play. Then, he defeated all three opponents to improve to 6-0 in two years of match play at the NCAA Championship.
"It's ridiculous how well he's playing," Norlander said. "He's unbeatable. He's the best amateur in the world at the moment. I'm going to bet money on him next week. He's that good at the moment."
Augusta State is that good as well. And the Jaguars delivered one more time in close fashion against the Bulldogs.
Georgia's Bryden MacPherson posted a 6 and 4 win over Bengtsson to give Georgia the first point. Newman responded with a 7 and 5 win over T.J. Mitchell. Russell Henley put the Bulldogs up 2-1 with his 3 and 2 victory over Norlander.
Krywulycz evened the match at 2-all when he closed out Hudson Swafford at No. 17 for a 2 and 1 win. Reed added the final point, besting Harris English 2 and 1.
"I'm real proud of the way our guys played and the way they battled," Georgia coach Chris Haack said. "My hats off to the Augusta State guys. They're a great team and they really played some outstanding golf."
Floyd, the team's sixth man who showed up to support his team Sunday, overcame flu-like symptoms to help Augusta State win its first national championship. Bengtsson, who replaced Floyd in the lineup, helped the Jaguars return to match play, which gave the team a shot to repeat. In the second round, when Krywulycz struggled, Bengtsson shot 75 to keep Augusta State in seventh place entering the final round of match play. On Thursday, winds kicked up and scores climbed higher, but the Jaguars shot 1-over on the final four holes to finish seventh and advance to the match play quarterfinals.
"Everyone did exactly what they needed to do," Krywulycz said. "When push came to shove, everyone made their putts when they had to."
One day after holing three clutch putts in a row to defeat Oklahoma State, Newman told his teammates he didn't want to have to be the hero again. He didn't have to be.
Despite making bogey the first two holes, Newman led 2-up over Mitchell. Newman then chipped in from 40 yards out for birdie at No. 5 to go 3-up. From there, he wouldn't let up, extending his match to 5-up through nine.
"I really felt comfortable," Newman said. "I had it in control. Unfortunately, T.J. didn't play his best."
Krywulycz held a 3-up lead through seven holes, but Swafford rallied to win Nos. 8 and 9. Krywulcyz remained in the lead with a 10-foot par putt at No. 11. He birdied the next hole and then extended his lead to 3-up with a two-putt birdie from 40 feet at the par-5 14th.
With a 2-up lead at No. 17, Krywulycz hit his second shot left into the water. Swafford faced a downhill, 25-foot birdie putt from the fringe, but he only got it halfway there. After Krywulycz wedged his fourth to five feet, Swafford's par attempt slid by.
Krywulycz who misread a putt on the same line two days earlier took his time, stepped back and asked coach Josh Gregory about a second read. They agreed on inside right. Krywulycz's putt sneaked in the right side for Augusta State's second point.
It all came down to Reed, who transferred from Georgia after his first year. Against his former teammate, Reed shot 1-under on the front nine to remain all square. English double-bogeyed No. 10 to go 1-down.
Reed missed the green at the par-3 11th, but he got up and down from the hillside rough to remain ahead. He later got up and down from 41 yards out at No. 13, punching a pitching wedge underneath a tree limb to five feet. The par gave him a 2-up lead, which he took to the par-4 17th.
English hit his tee shot into the right rough before hooking his approach into the water. He later missed a 30-foot bogey putt. It was enough of a cushion to allow Reed to hit his third over the green, just short of the water. He pitched back to seven feet, needing two putts for the win. He lagged to within a foot, and English conceded.
Augusta State's coaches, players and celebrated at No. 17 before taking part of the national championship ceremony.
"It's bittersweet," Reed said. "We're happy we won again, but we're sad that it's over. Everybody's going in different directions. We're going to miss each other."

Since 1797, Duffel Blog has been serving the men and women of the American military with insightful commentary and hard-hitting journalism. While other agencies have sometimes run from possibly scandalous stories, Duffel Blog has always been edgy and ahead of its time, almost as if it could predict the future. After reporting on President John Adams' $200 per week cocaine habit in March 1799, Duffel Blog was named The American Military's Most-Trusted News Source by the Columbia Journalism Review and the nickname stuck.
Duffel Blog is sometimes referred to as "The military version of The Onion," but this is a misnomer. The gaffe was cleared up in May 2012 when Duffel Blog staff successfully conducted an airborne assault on the offices of The Onion News Network so that others would know "The Onion was actually the civilian version of Duffel Blog."
Duffel Blog was nominated for The Pulitzer Prize in 2012 "for continued excellence in journalism," and has been recognized as a world leader in modern media by other, unworthy news outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, National Public Radio, The Military Times, NBC News, Gizmodo, USA Today, and Business Insider.
Who We Are
Duffel Blog was originally founded by Lance Corporal Alfred Whittingham, a U.S. Marine stationed at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, PA. Whittingham, a prolific binge drinker and avid boxer, served as a recruiter for the-then newly formed Marine Corps. As new recruits came to volunteer, Whittingham would force them to drink shots of whiskey and challenge them to a dueling match before allowing them to sign the enlistment papers — a practice that is still used by Marine recruiters across the United States today.
The role of Editor-in-Chief passed around the military throughout the years, like Private Earl Williams of the U.S. Army (1823-1833) who set the tone with groundbreaking articles such as "I Hate My Sergeant Major And Here's Why You Should Too". A particularly dark time fell upon TDB when the duties of editor were passed to Gunnery Sergeant Elias Rodriguez (1987-1990), who wrote most of the articles himself, replacing words such as "the" and "source" with "Oohrah" and "Devil Dog." Readership plummeted in the following years.
B. Gordon Willard is the publication's current Editor-in-Chief.

By David Jones, Florida Today
GAINESVILLE - Florida released its assistant football coaches' salaries on Friday, which will make up new head coach Will Muschamp's staff, with new offensive coordinator Charlie Weis agreeing to a deal that will pay him over $2.5 million over three years.
Weis, when left the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs after one year in the same role to come to Florida, received a $100,000 signing bonus and $10,000 each year from the school's Nike equipment contract as well. The $10,000 has been standard for assistant coaches for decades.
In addition, according to the Weis contract, he will get $795,000 in 2011, $865,000 in 2012 and $865,000 in 2013.
It is, by far, the largest contract ever given to a Florida assistant football coach in the history of the program.
Defensive coordinator Dan Quinn was given a two-year salary that pays him $490,000 in 2011 and $510,000 in 2012. He also gets $10,000 each year from the Nike apparel contract, making his package over two years worth over $1 million.
Offensive line coach Frank Verducci ($290,000 per year) and defensive line coach Bryant Young ($230,000) were also given two-year contracts. New running backs coach Brian White, part of Urban Meyer's staff, will make $240,000 in 2011 and returning linebackers coach D.J. Durkin will make $265,000.
New secondary coach Travaris Robinson ($230,000), receivers coach Aubrey Hill ($230,000) and tight ends coach Derek Lewis ($190,000) complete the staff.

 The only reason I'm bringing this up is because security measures

 probably have to be dealt with directly, like mister Lama. All in all
 he's actually a pretty nice guy, he's just a crusty kid and they can't

 would be before the crusties discovered our wonderful resource because
 that's how they see NB. As a resource to be tapped. I've actually seen
 crusty punks come into noisebridge with bright eyes and interrogative
 questions about where all this stuff comes from. It's pretty typical
 of this sub-culture.

 Regardless of the Lama, security measures to prevent more of this from
 happening would probably be ideal.

I'm looking forward to the full DPR review. I have sent back my Canon 17-85mm IS USM, twice already, and the repairs/ costs just don't cut it ( no cleaning of the elements either for a total $300 or so!) If, as I hear, this 15-85 is the sucessor to the problem-plagued 17-85, then I say "good riddance". And I'm hoping that this new lens restores the brand reliability.
If I get the message, this is a very good "always-with-me" CAMERA, which holy smokin' pancakes- also has a phone included. Hmmm….now if it was also waterproof and heat proof, we could flip those pancakes...
Just beautiful, and one of those cool folks who share all they have, and all they know.. Thanks ben. Tony Webster, Barbados

What a great sign to see in the toy store window. How amazing the sales are when everything must go. So you know I had to go in and shop. I bought gifts for my flower girls and ring bearer! I knew I wanted to buy my flower girls a dress up gift (crown, wand...) and this fashion bag set is perfect. No dress up outfit is complete without a purse full of essentials, sunglasses, and shoes.
For the little man I got him a toy guitar so that he can party like a rock star (t-t-totally dude).

Watch Out Weddingbee
I completed my first DIY project: a postcard! Don't laugh at me I'm making baby steps toward becoming a DIY Diva. This project was very simple with the help of Microsoft word postcard templates (a blessing from the Lord). I added an engagement picture, typed in my message, printed it on card stock (thanks Office Max), and trimmed with scissors. The purpose of the postcard was to make sure the flower girls' parents knew our wedding date (basically a STD), wedding location, and that I was on the look out for flower girl dresses (so get your checkbook ready).

Wedding Cake Alternative
When I started planning my wedding I knew I wanted to do a wedding cake alternative. When my wedding reception was going to be in my parents backyard I wanted to have an ice cream sundae bar. Now that my reception will be during lunch and indoors I am going to have wedding cupcakes! Most bakeries will charge for wedding cupcakes as much as they charge for wedding cakes (sorry not a cheaper option on this end) but you don't have to pay your reception venue to cut and serve your cake. Wedding cupcakes in my opinion are not a good idea for formal (black tie) wedding receptions unless you display outside the banquet room as a favor for your guest to take as they leave. I meet with my baker (can I call her that) next week!
Here is a display that I really like:

Upega was founded in the Fall of 2013 by a group of university students with a shared background in information technology and interests in sustainability and education. Our idea is simple: to repurpose recycled computers and to make the Internet accessible to everyone.
Upega, meaning "net" in Samoan (pronounced "oo-pen-gah"), is an initiative to establish technological learning centers in Pacific Island village communities, currently focusing on the community in Tiapapata, Samoa.
Tiapapata is a small village situated on the outskirts of Apia, the capital city of Samoa. Many of the residents of Tiapapata face limited access to computers, the internet, and educational resources.
Help us provide technology and education resources to the Tiapapata community by becoming a volunteer, or by making a donation.

Groups that use Penn fields will pay cleanup costs
Organizations using the Penn Township Municipal Park fields for tournaments will have to pay up for cleanup work.
Township commissioners, including Larry Harrison, who is chairman of the recreation commission, decided the park's weekend appearance is paramount by having public-works employees clean the restrooms and garbage cans.
Township officials said they could face a grievance if volunteers complete the work instead of the unionized workers.
It costs the township $304 for each weekend day for two employees to work four hours at time-and-a-half to keep the park clean during tournaments, officials said.
"It's going to be a clean park for all residents of Penn Township, and that's no ifs, ands or buts," Harrison said.
When the fees take effect next year, groups that use four or more fields will pay $500 per weekend and those that use three or fewer will pay $150. Those fees likely won't cover the entire expense but will return some of the money to the township's coffers.
For this year, the Penn Township Athletic Association, or PTAA, and Trafford Level Green Athletic Association will pay flat fees of $500 and $75, respectively, because they hadn't budgeted for cleanup fees, commission members said.
PTAA, which has four large tournaments planned for 2014, would have been liable for $2,000 if the fee were implemented fully for this year.
"You're told about a bill that you hadn't planned for," board member Phil Kochasic said. "It's hard to overcome that."
Park plan
The next development phase at the municipal park would include new playground equipment, a new sand volleyball court and a refurbished basketball court if the township receives a state grant.
With an estimated cost of $300,000, the plan township officials are considering would replace the 18-year-old Warrior Wonderland playground, install a volleyball area near the recently completed dog park and replace an aging basketball court.
Cheryl Kemerer, director of the Penn-Trafford Area Recreation Commission, is planning to apply in April for a grant from the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources that would cover half of the cost of the phase.
Township commissioners are expected to vote on March 12 or 17 to finalize the scope of the grant application. In February, they decided not to proceed with previous suggestions for developing an amphitheater, tennis courts or new restrooms near the dog park.
Park coordinator
A part-time park coordinator might begin work in mid-May to oversee facility rentals and complete other tasks designated by the recreation commission, including preparations for the Fall Festival in September.
The board agreed to advertise for the position, which is expected to pay $9 an hour for 22 hours of work per week.

Dan's story - beating prostate cancer
Turlock resident Dan Murray not only beat prostate cancer, he discovered his inner poet in the process—all thanks to care he received from Memorial Medical Center, Modesto.
Just before his 55th birthday, Dan—a construction foreman—visited his primary care physician for an annual blood screening test for prostate cancer. His readings had always been normal before, but this time, his prostate specific antigen (PSA) level was elevated. In a follow-up visit with his urologist, Dan underwent a prostate biopsy. The results revealed high risk prostate cancer.
"It was quite a shock," Dan recalls. "It changes your world. I was still a healthy, active construction worker—and then this happens." His doctors recommended a course of hormone therapy and radiation. That's when Dan met radiation oncologist Chris Neville, M.D., whom Dan describes as "one of the most caring, intelligent all-around good guys you'll ever meet."
During his treatment, Dan decided to participate in a few of the special cancer therapies programs at Memorial Medical Center, Modesto. These included classes in writing, art, yoga, and Pilates. "The doctors can do their best to cure the cancer, but it takes all the other stuff to cure the emotions, the soul and the mind—to make you a whole person again," observes Dan.
He enjoyed the classes so much that writing and sculpting are now two of his favorite hobbies. In fact, some of his poetry has been published, and one of his sculptures has been on display in a Modesto art gallery. "I never thought I could be a writer or an artist or anything like that," he says. And he is grateful that Memorial Medical Center, Modesto reaches out to cancer patients in this compassionate and creative way. As a cancer survivor, "you need this to change your emotions…and get your soul back on track," he says.
"My name is Dan Murray, and that's my story."

Need Help With Email? Ask Your Email Questions Online
I need to confirm my email on a website to download some software, every time I try to confirm my email on their website, I get the message. It has something to do with yahoo email, as I tried my gmail email and I did not have any problems. Unfortunately the initial email was sent to my yahoo email and I can only confirm with this meal.
Thank you, Lisa
Lisa, I did a quick lookup of this for you since I was not too familiar with this. That message has to do with the opt-out / subscription function of their email server. For whatever reason, they have your email address listed as opted out. Essentially your email is on a "suppression list" similar to a Do Not Call for phones. All emails on the suppression list do not receive email or solistitation from that company. So when you are putting in your mail it is being rejected. I would have to see what you are doing to get a better idea of what is going on.
From everything I have looked up, it has to do with source suppression, and it is something I should be able to fix.
For example, the problem is I am using a Mac:
You can use the Code Analysis window to suppress code analysis warnings. Suppressing a warning is not the same as disabling it. When you suppress a warning, it applies only to a particular instance of the violation. Other violations of the same warning will still be reported in the Error List window.
After you run code analysis, you might determine that one or more of the code analysis warnings that are displayed in the Code Analysis window are not applicable to your application. For example, you might determine that the code is correct as is. Or, it might be the case that some violations are low priority and will not be fixed in the current development cycle. Regardless of the reason, it's frequently useful to indicate that the warning is non-applicable to let your team members know that the code was reviewed and that it was determined that the warning could be suppressed. In source suppression is useful because it lets you put a suppression close to where the warning is generated.
You can choose whether the suppression will appear in the source code or in the global suppression file. Some suppressions must be placed in the global suppression file. If this is the case, the In Source option will be disabled.
On the Analyze menu, choose Windows and then choose Code Analysis.
In the Code Analysis window, select the warning suppress.
Choose Actions, then choose Suppress Message(s), and then choose either In Source or In Project Suppression File.
The specific warning is suppressed, and the warning appears in the Code Analysis window with a strikethrough.
I think I figured it out; have to disable, Java, styles and a few more things.

UnNews:Elderly scam artists on the rise
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Elderly scam artists on the rise
Who knew The Onion® had a retarded stepbrother?
Friday, July 21, 2017, 03:01:59 (UTC)
• Newsroom • Audio (staff) • Foolitzer Prize
• Indexes • Random story
Elyria, OH, March 21 - "They knocked on my door asking if I wanted to buy any Granny Scout cookies," begins Tina Sciallo tearfully. "I felt bad making them stand on the doorstep showing me the different cookies, so I invited them in and we talked inside," she says. "I got the Denture Delights," she adds unnecessarily.
It wasn't until the next day that Tina went into her purse for her lipstick and noticed it was missing. Also, she noticed the purse was empty. "There used to be $150 in my wallet. It was the first thing I checked for, since I needed to buy some... medicine. But it wasn't there!"
Tina is not the first victim of such a ruse in recent months. "We've been seeing an increase through much of the lower-Ohio region in elderly scam artists," says Lt. Jim Gooden of the Elyria P.D. "We've been trying to get the word out ever since we became aware of the problem, but the public has largely been incredulous."
Lt. Gooden feels the problem is that no one is willing to believe that a grandmother can commit crimes, especially those of such an overt and shameless nature. "People need to wake up," he adds, "this is the 21st century, and what with that Medicaid nonsense, it's only natural that some older folks are going to turn to crime if they can't get coverage."
The Elyria P.D. has begun an information campaign called "Grannies Can Scam Too." "Hopefully this can prevent folks like Ms. Sciallo from being duped by these senior scammers, these doddering do-badniks, these geriatric jailbirds, these..." continues Lt. Gooden.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the team of seniors who took Ms. Sciallo's pocketbook are going to be apprehended any time soon. "Basically, the problem is that all old people look alike," complains Doug Green, sketch artist for the Elyria P.D. "I mean, short-ish gray hair, lots of wrinkles, warts, ear-hair, yadayadayada," he elaborates. "It's gotten so I just have one generic "old lady" sketch, and one "old man" sketch, and I just show one to the victim, and they say, "That's the one." It's not very helpful to the police here."
Tina has some advice for anyone who thinks they're safe from this type of crime. "You're not." She adds, "If they ask to use your bathroom, take all the meds out of the cabinet first. If they want to sell dentures or whatever, just turn them away. It's not worth it." Sadly, Ms. Sciallo has found that her bad experience has damaged her trust in old people. "I used to think, if you had gray hair, you were a good person. Now I think, only the good die young, so that must mean all old people are bad."
If you notice any suspicious activity in your neighborhood, such as groups of aged men or women gathering together, notify your local police department without hesitation. You might just be averting the next elderly scam.

The Art Market is Less Ethical than the Stock Market
Debate Details
Though the 2008 recession sparked widespread belief that the stock market was corrupt. Is the art market any better? Practices like chandelier bidding, price inflation and secret sourcing of art pieces call into question the legitimacy of art sales and values. But art market defenders posit that art, unlike other commodities, is valued based on appreciation and, because no two works of art are identical, cannot be regulated using traditional measures.

Where Do You Stand?
- The common practice of chandelier bidding, in which an auctioneer introduces bids on behalf of the seller until a desired price is met, manipulates buyers and artificially inflates the art market.
- Though works of art have become serious financial assets, the government treats art as a luxury market that does not require the oversight and regulation mandated in other major markets.
- Unlike securities, there are no two works of art that are identical, in the same condition or endowed with the same credentials; the only source of price comparison is auction data bases, which are flawed.
- The art market is rightly valued based on public appreciation of the art; the government does not have a place in assigning financial value to specific works.
- If someone were to lose money in the stock market, they wouldn't hang their stocks on the wall; the art market is based on more than an economic exchange and thus shouldn't be held to the same expectations.
- Unlike other commodities that can be valued in comparison to similar goods, the value of art is subject to historic, emotional and intellectual context.

Network:Battlefield: Bad Company 2
From Tunngle Wiki
There are 2 ways to play BFBC2 on LAN or Tunngle, one is Mase Emulator made my Triver and another is Synthetix Emulator made by Triada.
Using Triver's Mase Emulator is the easiest way to play LAN.
HOW TO PLAY Battlefield Bad Company 2 LAN/Tunngle using Mase Emulator
- Install Battlefield Bad Company 2 and update it to and patch R11
- Download BFBC2 R30 server files. Search Google Search Google
- (Optional) You may want to download R32 server files but it is not mandatory.
- Download Triver's Mase Emulator 1.0 and extract it.
- Before continue, make sure there is no BFBC2 folder in your C:\User\Username\My Documents. Also make sure there is no dinput8.dll in your BFBC2 R30/R32 server folder.
- Setup of the emulator: Open config.ini inside the 'mase_bc2' folder and write the IP of the PC where the emulator runs on in the config.ini to the key 'emulator_ip' (overwrite 127.0.0.1).Save and start the mase_bc2.exe, now Clients and Servers should be able to connect.
- Setup for connecting Clients and Server: You can choose one from 3 different methods to set them up (only a and c were tested)
- Method (a) (Recommended): Using mase dll hook: Simply put the bfbc2cfg.ini and dinput8.dll files from the 'dll' folder in the root directory of the both Client and Server(where the executables are located) and set the IP of the PC where the emulator runs on in the bfbc2cfg.ini to the 'host' key (overwrite 127.0.0.1).
- Method (b): Doesn't work.
- Method (c): Modifying binaries and redirect the IP's over the hosts file: First remove the SLL verification of the executable by using the lame patcher tool (http://aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz/lpatch.zip) with the fesl patch (http://aluigi.altervista.org/patches/fesl.lpatch). Then append these lines to your hosts file of the System, usually located in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\":
#redirect client ip's x.x.x.x bfbc2-pc.fesl.ea.com x.x.x.x bfbc2-pc.theater.ea.com #redirect server ip's x.x.x.x bfbc2-pc-server.fesl.ea.com x.x.x.x bfbc2-pc-server.theater.ea.com #optional x.x.x.x easo.ea.com
Where ' x.x.x.x ' stands for the IP of the PC the emulator runs on.
How to host ranked server:
- Make sure to set 'Ranked=true' in serverOptions.ini file.
- Then start the server and join the game through other pc. (Before starting the server make sure mase_bc.exe is running).
How to host Unranked server with all weapons enabled:
- Make sure to set 'Ranked=false' and 'Punkbuster=false' in serverOptions.ini file.
- Before running the mase_bc.exe, first set "override_stats_with_template = true" in the emulator's config.ini and open the stats file ..\mase_bc2\templates\stats, then set 'webvet=1.0' at the end of the file. This will force all the emulator to use the template for all users that connect to it so everyone will have the settings applied. This will unlock everything for all the profiles (excluding Specact player skins and M1 weapon which you can unlock for users in the config.ini).
- Start server.(Before starting the server make sure mase_bc.exe is running).
How to join the server via Client:
- Turn on BFBC2 game and simply Register a email id(fake).
- Password must be larger than 4 characters.
- Create a soldier name(more than 6 characters).
- Login to the soldier. Now from the server browser you can search for the server.
- Do Not use any special characters for password or soldier name. Only use [a-Z][0-9].
- Before hosting ensure that the required ports are open (see F.A.Q. in the readme file within the emulator). If you get something like "Access to a socket failed due to restricted access rights" ensure that the required ports are open and try to set 'http_enabled' to 'false' in the config.ini if it isn't already.
- What IP is needed to set for the 'emulator_ip'/'host' in the config.ini/bfbc2cfg.ini?
The IP of the server it has in the network where you want your emulator to run(the HOST IP), for example you want to run it on your PC which has the IP 192.168.0.3 in the LAN network, you put it in the option (overwrite 127.0.0.1) and others will be able to connect (this is the same IP you need for the host key in the bfbc2cfg.ini if you use the dll hook)
- In a LAN, if you don't know the IP of the host pc then run cmd from that pc and type ipconfig.
- This emulator may show problems sometimes if multiple networks are connected in a pc.
- You can use PROCON or BC2CC to administrate your server easily.
Need Additional Help?
Go to BFBC2 Thread and post your question there. You can also open a topic in Lan games forum as tunngle doesnt have BFBC2 community.

Imagine your 16-year-old granddaughter listening to Grandpa recount his WWII feats in between punk-rock tracks on her iPod. Your son tuning in to the story of Aunt Lucy's first date while he checks his e-mail. Hearing your newborn grandchild's coos echo from your computer's speakers.
Podcasting makes all this - and more - possible. For the uninitiated, podcasts are basically digital, downloadable radio shows. But unlike radio, where you have to tune in to a particular channel at a particular time, you can download (or subscribe to) a podcast and listen to it at your convenience. Podcasts can be played on a computer, MP3 music player or over the Internet. They're a perfect means to preserve and share oral family history - and you don't have to be a technology guru to produce them. Just follow our four-step guide for a crash course in broadcasting your past.

Philadelphia • Let upsets take down other heavy favorites. Duke is back to business as usual.
Rasheed Sulaimon scored 21 points, Seth Curry scored had 17 and No. 2 seed Duke held off seventh-seeded Creighton 66-50 on Sunday to advance to the round of 16 for the fourth time in five years.
Mason Plumlee, Josh Hariston and Ryan Kelly battled foul trouble all game long that could have doomeed the Blue Devils. Creighton (28-8) went cold and never made a serious run in the second half. Doug McDermott scored 21 points but made only four baskets.

I'm just wondering what ur feeding your pets? I feed KC my rott(en)-lab; Wilderness by blue buffalo, the senior formula. Before that it was One. and he gets his favorite treat nawsomes. I tried others but he likes them best.
No announcement yet.
what do u feed ur 4-footed furry friends?
new posts
Kasumi (our black lab mix puppy) eats whichever grain free food is on sale for cheapest when I go to buy her food. It was Blue Wilderness puppy chow, now it's Blue Buffalo puppy chow. She also gets a daily mutlivitamin and bones from our beef/ lamb/ goat, as well as the gristle scraps from that meat.Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"
My Latest Journal
it's always buffalo blue or taste of the wild for both my dog and cats. i prefer to feed them taste of the wild (particularly the wet foods), but it's a lot harder to find.
i don't want to hijack, but i'm also wondering if anyone knows of a good way to make a flourless gravy or sauce to pour over pet food. my dog gets a wet/dry mix for dinner, but just dry in the morning...and lately he has been looking down at his bowl, then back at me with those 'WTF? it's dry. go get me a can of awesome animal parts' eyes. but, he'll go nuts on that dry food if a little gravy is dripped on it. basically, i just need a cheap and easy, primal way to thicken up some beef broth (think stew broth but without onions and garlic, which are poisonous to dogs).
I'm a dog person, but The Boyfriend had 2 cats, so now I'm a cat person too. Especially since one of the cats thinks it's a really agile dog.
When I met him, they ate Friskies. Yeah, that's not going to work. Now I get them Blue Wilderness. They love the duck and salmon versions, and we even had another neighborhood cat sneaking in to eat their food shortly after I made the switch.Durp.
Originally posted by phigment View PostI'm just wondering what ur feeding your pets? I feed KC my rott(en)-lab; Wilderness by blue buffalo, the senior formula. Before that it was One. and he gets his favorite treat nawsomes. I tried others but he likes them best.Primal since 4/7/2012
Starting weight 140
Current weigh 126
I feed my cat mostly Orijen dry food, and high-quality wet food about once a day.�The whole concept of a macronutrient, like that of a calorie, is determining our language game in such a way that the conversation is not making sense." - Dr. Kurt Harris
Dog gets raw chicken thighs and drumsticks, eggs, sardines, beef and beef liver (I rotate through these to try and give him good nutritional variety).
Cats get wet food and canned tuna from Trader Joe's. They won't eat raw meat except liver or fish, so I give them a little when the dog is getting some.Today I will: Eat food, not poison. Plan for success, not settle for failure. Live my real life, not a virtual one. Move and grow, not sit and die.
My Primal Journal
My dog gets Natural Instinct raw food mush, in a variety of flavours, plus the lickings off our dinner plates when we are feeling kind.
let's see..
taste of the wild, chicken thighs, chicken legs, chicken wings, this week i got them hearts and gizzards. avocado, butter, cheese.. just random bits of what i'm eatingbeautiful
yeah you are
Baby if you time travel back far enough you can avoid that work because the dust won't be there. You're too pretty to be working that hard.
My hounds get Earthborn grain-free and whatever primal foods they can scavenge off me. The basset is always there when veggies are being chopped and eats everything but onions. I add a splash of coconut oil to their food about 1/2 the time. They seem to like it and have very shiny coats. I also have a good source for raw turkey necks, about 1/2 go in the broth pot and the other to them. But the funny thing is these are the first dogs ever that don't like avocado. Ah well, more for me.
Our dog and 16 year old cat eat a raw diet. Both eat raw chicken, beef liver, rabbit, the dog gets raw beef bones as treats and the cat eats raw fish. Dog likes to eat sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and some left over veggies, eggs if I break one. Oh and both love coconut oil
Houdini, my 5-year-old 55-lb lab-mix rescue, eats mostly raw. Usually chicken and some organ meats. Sometimes I buy those organ meats specifically for her. A few weeks ago after gathering up some nerve, I bought beef liver and beef kidney with the intention of eating them myself. The smell of the liver convinced me it wasn't going anywhere near my mouth, so Houdini feasted on that. Then I got a bit worried about preparing the kidneys, so with a certain amount of relief I gave those to a very grateful hound. Sometimes I splurge and get her duck or rabbit. Never raw pork. Sometimes it's beef muscle meat and bones, but that's gotten a bit expensive too. She also gets eggs (raw or scrambled).
She loves coconut oil, as well. She'll lick it off my skin if I don't stop her, so usually what I do is make her sit patiently while I apply the oil to myself, and then I scoop out a small dollop and let her lick that off my finger. She usually gets a dollop of coconut oil every day.
When I started making bone broth, I decided to give her the mushy veggies. I make broth about once a week, so I spread out the veg delivery to the dog so she gets them a few times a week. She devours them.
When I made the switch from veg head to primal -- you should have seen me at the grocery, buying veg for me and meat for the dog -- I started giving her small cooked scraps of meat/veg, and she seems to be doing better than ever with this addition. She particularly likes when I have bacon for brekkie or when I bake extra chicken and share a few scraps with her as I'm pulling the meat off the bones for later ease in cooking. I think she's even learning to like freshly ground black pepper, which I eat on just about anything but chocolate.
For treats, I like to do the dried sweet potato jerky or dried liver bits. If I'm eating nuts, I'll sometimes share those with her. She really likes the raw almonds from the farmer's market. Right now I'm treating her from a small container of Stella & Chewy's Carnivore Kisses (100% salmon) that Houdini loves, but I think stink. What is it with dogs totally digging the stinky stuff?
The cat is a different story. I had her on raw for about 2 months when she took herself off it, stealing food from the neighbor cat's dish. So we're back on dry but with a little cooked chicken or bacon if she seems interested. Or if I'm having seafood, I tend to offer her little bits of it, and she seems to like that as well. She tends to have a big brekkie and then graze, hitting the food dish periodically between naps. She's indoor-outdoor, at an appropriate weight (8lb), 8 years old. I would love to hear what people have had success with in feeding their kitties. I'm not opposed to spending the money -- I'd rather buy good food and have a healthy kitty for years and years than save money now by buying crappy kibble and then have horrendous vet bills later on.
The funny thing is my dogs have been Primal for over a year, me a couple of months. I feed them a ratio of two meat to one mixed vegetables, with added calcium, salmon oil and coconut oil, and digestive enzymes. Their blood work has improved a lot.Started Primal June 2012 at 148.5lbs, and 5' 1", reached goal weight in 5 months.
Lowest weight 93lbs - too thin. Now stable at around 100lbs much better weight for me at my age.
Primal, minus eggs, dairy and a myriad of other allergens.
