Multiple payment options with Auth.net + Offline.Asked by jarmerson on September 15, 2016 at 06:41 PM
How can I setup our form so if someone selects our offline option for payment their submission won't attempt to process via auth.net?
Right now if you select a payment option other than our auth.net and submit it gives an auth.net error stating the CC number isn't the correct length.
What we want is that option to be disabled UNLESS selected as method of payment.
JotForm Support
Your form seems to be set correctly with regards to multiple payment options. However, I tested the integration on your Authorize.net payment field and I received an "Invalid merchant ID.." error. Please check your Auth.net API credentials and make sure they are correct, as this may be the reason why you are encountering the error upon submission.
You can also check out this guide for further details on How to Create a Basic Multiple Payment form. If the issue still persists, please let us know.
Hi Chriistian,
Thank you for your response. I have disabled test mode. Do you mind taking another look?
JotForm Support
I checked your form further and it appears that you are automatically filling in the price on the Authorize.net integration with values from your hidden fields (Annual Membership, 8 Month Membership, etc.).
Since they are automatically filled with these prices, it tells the integration that it is being used which in turn causes you to receive an error when submitting the form. Essentially the auth.net integration is asking to finish completing the fields even though you have selected a different payment option.
Please allow me some time to setup a workaround on how to resolve this issue. I will be back shortly.
JotForm Support
To resolve the error, please follow the steps below.
1. Create a new form and add the auth.net integration there. It should look like the one below.
2. Then remove the auth.net integration on your KAPE Membership Application form.
3. Add an iFrame embed widget to your KAPE Membership Application form and insert the URL of the new form that you created there.
4. Now you can use Show/hide conditions as before in order to show the iFrame if the user selects debit/credit.
After that, you're all set. Please note that the user will now have to manually enter the price, unless you set a default price instead of a variable price.

Everyone in the world is in the search for happiness. We work hard and dedicate our lives to study so that we can end up enjoying ourselves and finding bliss and peace. However, very few actually become happy; for most their life is hurdled with misery and dissatisfaction. We continue to indulge in more and more bad habits hoping that by indulging, happiness will find its way to us; but this is never the end result. Many take to smoking, drinking alcohol, over eating, over sleeping, becoming lazy, etc. but they still do not find satisfaction.
In life to attain satisfaction and to become happy, people learn different trades and various tricks to get ahead in the world. Some of these skills and clever minds bring many material rewards. Some own big houses in a number of states, several fast and fancy cars, multiple assets portfolios in several countries, untold stocks and shares but still their lives are empty. Real long lasting and deep satisfaction has not been found.
The Guru tells us in Japji,
|ਭੁਖਿਆ ਭੁਖ ਨ ਉਤਰੀ ਜੇ ਬੰਨਾ ਪੁਰੀਆ ਭਾਰ ॥ ਸਹਸ ਸਿਆਣਪਾ ਲਖ ਹੋਹਿ ਤ ਇਕ ਨ ਚਲੈ ਨਾਲਿ ॥
ਕਿਵ ਸਚਿਆਰਾ ਹੋਈਐ ਕਿਵ ਕੂੜੈ ਤੁਟੈ ਪਾਲਿ ॥ ਹੁਕਮਿ ਰਜਾਈ ਚਲਣਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਲਿਖਿਆ ਨਾਲਿ ॥੧॥
|Bẖukẖiā bẖukẖ na uṯrī jė bannā purīā bẖār. Sahas siāṇpā lakẖ hohi ṯa ik na cẖalai nāl.
Kiv sacẖiārā hoīai kiv kūrhai ṯutai pāl. Hukam rajāī cẖalṇā Nānak likẖiā nāl. ॥1॥
|The hunger of the hungry is not appeased, even by piling up loads of worldly goods.
Even if you learn hundreds of thousands of clever tricks, even one will not accompany you
|ਕਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਵੇਖੈ ਨਦਰਿ ਨਿਹਾਲ ॥
|Kar kar vėkẖai naḏar nihāl.
|Having created the creation, He watches over it.
With Grace, He bestows happiness.

Just curious as i'm a ugly unnatractive guy myself. Asked for opinions on how to improve in another thread i made but got almost no replies.
Every guy wants to improve, so why holding back instead of saying what's on your minds? I for one surely wanted to know what's wrong me, at least i could move on to other stuff.
Is that the way women do natural selection? Ugly guys need to stay ugly so there's a balance?
Most Helpful Girl
Wait. So you got no replies, and now suddenly women must want unattractive guys to stay ugly/ unattractive? You sound abnormally insecure.00|00|0
of course. insecurity / confidence those are all excuses to tell the ugly guy, oh dont give up, im sure you will find someone in your lifetime... hopefully (sarcastic smile on). it's really all about confidence, you dont need to change anything, you look just fine (keep coping).
- Show AllShow Less
no i leave those for construction workers
Worth a shot. Anyways since this is getting nowhere I wish you luck.

Put A Stop To Pollution; It Could Save Our Country
Don't throw your trash outside your car, wait to put it in a trashcan!
Soot found on ceilings of prehistoric caves provides strong evidence of the high levels of pollution. Pollution grows worse and worse every year.
Everyone needs to stop throwing there trash outside of there car, windows, etc. They don't know the damage it can cause in the long run or where the trash will end up. Most of it ends up in our Earth's oceans. Plenty of the marine life die each year. Millions of people are killing our Earth this very instant. Tons of people have trash in there cars, so they just throw it out the window like it will just go away and doesn't cause any harm. When in fact it does. I don't know why a person can't just wait until their next stop to dumb there trash into a trashcan, where it will be disposed of properly.
I believe that my mission is important because I want our Earth to be a safe and healthy place to live on. I'm sure you don't want to live in a world full of trash? If not wait to throw your trash away, until you see a trashcan. That is what trashcans are for. Not for decoration. Make a difference.

This year has gone past far quicker than I would of liked but Autumn is upon us. That transitional time of year which isn't quite cold enough for coats but light layers are no more.
As I was on tumblr these images reminded me of what I adore most about this time of year; an abounding amount of layers, Hats and of course boots, which is what will get me through the best part of Autumn. That is of course only for a few weeks before the real cold of winter unleashes and coats will be a prominent part of my wardrobe yet again.

Malcolm X's Daughter
June 11, 2011 by Post Team
Malcolm X's Daughter, The daughter of slain black activist Malcolm X has avoided a jail sentence after pleading guilty of defrauding a widow of 70 years of age, one of the bodyguards of her father, prosecutors said.
Malikah Shabazz will pay nearly 56,000 and credit card companies that defrauded the identity of the residents of New York Khaula Bakr, according to a district attorney in Queens, New York. Shabazz pleaded guilty to identity theft on Thursday in Queens Supreme Court on crimes committed between August 2006 and November 2007, the statement said.
"The accused, who prey on the nature of confidence from a family friend once close, has admitted her guilt in the commission of a felony and ordered to make their entire financial victims,"said District Attorney Richard Brown of Queens.
Because the sentence next month, Shabazz will have to pay the debt within a trial period of five years or she faces up to seven years in prison, the statement said.
"We are happy that she got her freedom and that she will reunite with her daughter," said defense lawyer Russell Rothberg.
The youngest of six daughters of Malcolm X, was arrested in February Shabbazz Mars Hills, North Carolina, after being sought in New York since 2009.
Prosecutors said Bakr, the widow of a bodyguard who was with the day Malcolm X was assassinated in New York in 1965, received a letter from Wells Fargo Bank, informing him that he had a credit account with which he was defeated in the quantity and 28,789.38. Bakr never opened the account and never authorized anyone to do so on their behalf, the discovery of Shabazz after running a series of credit reports.
Three additional bills of credit cards also were found in the name of Bakr, along with an e-Shabazz in South Carolina. Prosecutors say the account records contained a letter with her signature Bakr and Shabazz as co-signer, requesting a new issuance of credit cards and checks with a new account and PIN number. Say Shabazz scored Bakr personally identifiable information under the pretext of needing the information for proceedings involving a child care power of attorney. Bakr provided the information, but says he never received the documents childcare activist's daughter famous.
Shabazz pleaded guilty to one count of identity theft, among others, including charges of third degree grand larceny, third degree, criminal possession of stolen property, forgery in the second degree, robbery in the first degree of identity and first-degree falsifying business records, according to Rothberg.
Brown said the refund would reflect a "fair and reasonable resolution to the case."

Can I use a different IPN URL?Asked by cheekyface on June 04, 2014 at 03:50 AM
I'm a little unsure about this also.
Does it matter what the URL is? I thought the instructions said it doesn't. Is there any benefit to having a specific URL?
For instance the URL for my form is in a web page at my website at: http://www.pay.cheekyface.com.au/payment/paypal/
But what I've entered into the IPN settings is what was suggested by the jotform instructions:
Should I be using this URL instead: http://www.pay.cheekyface.com.au/payment/paypal/index.html
JotForm Support
You can use any other URL if you need to receive IPN outside of JotForm.
For example, if you have a website that has Paypal buttons NOT created with JotForm, and you want to receive the data for these transactions, you can enter the URL of the script that will process this data on the IPN URL setting.
JotForm-initiated transactions will always use https://www.jotform.com/ipns/paypal.php as the IPN URL no matter what URL you have set on your Paypal account.
Ok thanks.
To be clear though, as I understand it. I don't need to worry about this if I've use the jotform URL. My forms have only used jotform buttons including the paypal widget. So to my understanding this means that when the form is used and submits to paypal that a notification is sent back to jotform and then that notification is forwarded on to me via the form I created. Is that correct?
Oh behalf of NeilVicente you are welcome and yes that is correct. The JotForm IPN is what connects the two together so that your form can communicate with your PayPal Account to gather feedback about this and then send out a notification.

So Gatway Pundit, who I really like, had this article:
NY Times Tipped Off Shooter to GOP Practice Field Around Time He Moved to Area
This is the kind of leading language I despise. "Tipped off?" Doesn't this sound like they were working with the shooter.
"Psst, hey buddy, wanna know where the GOP is practicing for target practice?"
Look I hate the Times, but being like them isn't good for us. The article in the times itself talks about heightened security around certain congressman. While it may be true Hodgkinson may have read that in the Times and used it, the article seems to talk about how these are more difficult and secure places if you want to off a congressman. Not the best tactics.
Look, the article itself was a news story. Locations where people are going to be or where they happen to spend their time, even important people, get printed all the time. If Gateway is trying to insinuate that the Times was in some way responsible for this happening, it's a stretch to say the least. It also doesn't do anything but get clicks from angry people.
I think we have enough angry people.

Inbreeding depression in red deer calves
Understanding the fitness consequences of inbreeding is of major importance for evolutionary and conservation biology. However, there are few studies using pedigree-based estimates of inbreeding or investigating the influence of environment and age variation on inbreeding depression in natural populations. Here we investigated the consequences of variation in inbreeding coefficient for three juvenile traits, birth date, birth weight and first year survival, in a wild population of red deer, considering both calf and mother's inbreeding coefficient. We also tested whether inbreeding depression varied with environmental conditions and maternal age.
We detected non-zero inbreeding coefficients for 22% of individuals with both parents and at least one grandparent known (increasing to 42% if the dataset was restricted to those with four known grandparents). Inbreeding depression was evident for birth weight and first year survival but not for birth date: the first year survival of offspring with an inbreeding coefficient of 0.25 was reduced by 77% compared to offspring with an inbreeding coefficient of zero. However, it was independent of measures of environmental variation and maternal age. The effect of inbreeding on birth weight appeared to be driven by highly inbred individuals (F = 0.25). On the other hand first year survival showed strong inbreeding depression that was not solely driven by individuals with the highest inbreeding coefficients, corresponding to an estimate of 4.35 lethal equivalents.
These results represent a rare demonstration of inbreeding depression using pedigree-based estimates in a wild mammal population and highlight the potential strength of effects on key components of fitness.
Inbreeding depression, the reduction in fitness of offspring resulting from matings between related individuals, is of considerable importance in studies of evolution, ecology and conservation [for reviews see
One reason for the lack of studies of inbreeding depression in natural populations is the difficulty in collecting the data required to estimate levels of inbreeding. An individual's inbreeding coefficient F, defined as the probability that two alleles at any randomly-chosen locus are identical by descent
Interest in the potential for environmental conditions and age to affect the magnitude of inbreeding depression, either in life history components or in morphometric traits has a long history in laboratory populations
However, studies of the association between inbreeding depression and either environmental severity or age in natural populations are rare. One notable exception is the population of song sparrows (
The majority of studies of inbreeding depression have concentrated on effects on traits expressed in early life such as juvenile survival or growth rate
Here we investigate the effects of inbreeding on the juvenile traits birth date, birth weight and first year survival in a wild population of red deer (
Figure 1
The distribution of inbreeding coefficients (F) for individuals with F>0
The distribution of inbreeding coefficients (F) for individuals with F>0. Inbreeding events are split as in table 1. Although there is evidence for some reasonably close inbreeding events (father-daughter (F = 0.25), half-siblings (F = 0.125)) a number of individuals have inbreeding coefficients resulting from mating between more distantly related individuals (F>0<0.0078125).
Levels of inbreeding
Considering individuals born between 1980 and 2010 for which both parents and at least one grandparent were known, 405/1848 (21.9%) had a pedigree based inbreeding coefficient (F) of greater than 0 (Figure

Inbreeding events are split into well known groups (e.g. 0.25 - parent-offspring, full-siblings etc; 0.125 - half-siblings, uncle-niece etc; 0.0625 - first cousin, half-uncle-niece etc; 0.03125 - first cousins once removed, half-first cousins etc; 0.015625 - second cousins, first cousins twice removed etc; 0.0078125 - second cousins once removed, half-second cousins etc.) and those that require more complex relationships. The relative frequency of types of inbreeding event is similar when considering datasets of individuals with both parents and at least one grandparent known or with all four grandparents known.

Decomposing first year survival into summer and winter survival indicated that the effect of offspring inbreeding coefficient on first year survival is driven by its effect on winter survival (coefficient=-15.2 ± 3.43, χ2
1 = 19.6, p < 0.001, table
Number of lethal equivalents
The number of lethal equivalents was estimated for first year survival and winter survival as these were the survival traits that showed clear evidence of inbreeding depression (see above). For first year survival, there was statistical support for variation in the survival of non-inbred individuals between years (
The results of this study represent a rare examination of the effects of inbreeding in a wild mammal population using pedigree-based inbreeding coefficients as opposed to marker-based estimates of inbreeding [see also
Comparison with marker-based results
Previous work on this population has focussed on marker-based estimators as a proxy for inbreeding because sample sizes for pedigree based measures were previously too small
Interactions between inbreeding and environmental and age variation
The results of our analysis did not provide support for any interaction between the effect of inbreeding and environmental or age related variation in this population. Although rarely studied in natural populations, the general pattern of results from experimental populations and those natural populations where data are available is one of an increase in the detrimental effects of inbreeding with increasing environmental stress [e.g.
The relationship between age and inbreeding depression has been of considerable recent interest in laboratory studies, with tests concentrating on the prediction that inbreeding depression should increase with age as a result of weakening selection against deleterious alleles with increasing age [reviewed in
Variation between traits
Patterns of inbreeding depression differed between the juvenile traits examined here. All effects of inbreeding were due to the offspring inbreeding coefficient, but birth date showed no clear evidence for inbreeding depression. Given that this trait is most likely determined by oestrus date and female condition during gestation [with gestation length showing relatively little variation in this population
Although offspring birth weight is an important predictor of offspring first year survival, we found that offspring first year survival suffered strong inbreeding depression independent of the effects of inbreeding on birth weight. The first year survival of offspring with an inbreeding coefficient of 0.25 was reduced by 77% compared to offspring with an inbreeding coefficient of zero (Figure
The effect of incomplete pedigrees
Although the population of red deer studied here has one of the most complete pedigrees of any wild mammal population currently studied, approximately 40% of calves born to the study population have unknown paternity. Consequently the frequency of inbreeding estimated in this study is likely to be an underestimate (see results, levels of inbreeding) as is the severity of inbreeding depression
This study presents an investigation of inbreeding effects in a wild mammal population using pedigree-based inbreeding coefficients as opposed to marker-based estimates. Although the results are generally consistent with previous studies using marker-based estimates in this population, differences do exist, highlighting the importance of confirming such associations with a pedigree-based approach. The fact that strong inbreeding depression for first winter survival was still apparent after controlling for birth weight highlights the potential for inbreeding to affect multiple facets of early-life performance in natural populations. Long-term studies of pedigreed natural populations such as this represent an ideal situation in which to generate a fuller understanding of inbreeding depression and particularly its context dependence, or lack of, under ecologically relevant conditions.
Study population
The red deer population resident in the North Block of the Isle of Rum, Inner Hebrides, Scotland (57° 03' N, 06° 21' W) has been the subject of intensive study since 1972
Inbreeding coefficients
Pedigree reconstruction was achieved using a combination of genetic and behavioural information as detailed in Walling et al.
Wright's inbreeding coefficient (F) was calculated for mothers and offspring from the pedigree using the software package PEDIGREE VIEWER version 6.4
Measures used
We examined the effects of both an offspring's inbreeding coefficient and that of its mother on the juvenile traits birth date, birth weight and first year survival among all offspring caught at birth. Date of birth was scored as the number of days since 1st May in the year of birth, birth weight as capture weight (kg) minus 0.01539 times age at capture (hrs)
In addition to the inbreeding coefficient of the offspring and its mother, a number of other fixed effects were fitted that are known to be important from previous studies. Offspring sex was fitted as a two-level factor in all models, as this is known to be an important predictor of birth weight and first winter survival, with males being heavier at birth but yet less likely to survive
Estimating the number of lethal equivalents
The number of lethal equivalents is a standardised measure of inbreeding depression in a population, defined as a gene or group of genes that would cause death in an individual in a homozygous state
Statistical analyses
Birth date and birth weight are normally distributed and thus analysed using mixed models with normal errors using ASReml version 3.0
In addition, the minimum inbreeding coefficient that can be assigned to an individual depends on the depth of the pedigree for that individual and this varies between individuals in this population (for the entire population (i.e. not restricted to those that F was calculated for), median = 3, minimum = 0, maximum = 9). To assess the consequences of this variation for our results we re-ran minimal models on a dataset restricted to individuals with all four grandparents known (sample sizes: Birth date 816 (344 with F>0), birth weight 749 (318 with F>0), first year survival 708 (296 with F>0), summer survival 716 (297 with F>0), winter survival 632 (266 with F>0)).
Authors' contributions
CAW and DHN designed and carried out the statistical analysis. JMP, LEBK and THCB participated in the design of the analysis and are involved in the maintenance and management of the long-term monitoring project on Rum and JMP has led the sampling and genotyping of individuals. AM collected much of the data on which the analysis is based. CAW wrote the initial manuscript and DHN, JMP, LEBK and THCB all provided detailed comments and suggestions. All authors read and approved the final manuscript
We would like to thank Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) for permission to work on the Isle of Rum and SNH staff on Rum and the community of Rum for their support and assistance. We are also indebted to Fiona Guinness and the numerous field assistants and volunteers who have helped with data collection, particularly Martyn Baker, Ailsa Curnow and Sean Morris. Finally Katie Stopher, Jarrod Hadfield and the Wild Evolution Group at the University of Edinburgh provided useful discussion. This research was supported by a NERC grant to LEBK, JMP and THCB, NERC and BBSRC fellowships to DHN and a Royal Society fellowship to LEBK.

New technology has the power to amaze as well as the power to make people's lives easier and of better quality. This is as true when it comes to the cannabis industry as it is with any other.
Late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was recently announced as the next host of the Academy Awards when they air on ABC in February.
NFL player Seantrel Henderson is in his third year in the league where he plays offensive lineman for the Buffalo Bills.
Cannabis can do many amazing things; so many that more are being discovered all the time. This is not only true when it comes to humans, but animals as well. In fact, it was long assumed that cannabis could do nothing for pets and was even harmful to them. And while it's true that THC can be toxic to some pets at certain levels, there is still a lot the cannabis plant can do for your pet.

Good to be back in Riverlea and the Tshwane-hill, although its freezing, according to SA standards. According to the weatherprophets- it was -4C last night here in the north. Anyway, it makes sense to be back and to reflect on my experiences with colleages and with members of our faith community, the Alpha Community. This in a sense is a time of working through the experiences and allowing the Body to temper one's concentrated views. This is sometimes humbling, but also importantly grounding, (rooting) you in your community of faith, in the reality of our community life. This means: amongst others reports to be finnished, scrips and assignments to be marked, meetings to be set up and children to be taken to school, recorder and violin lessons and feeding the Zazza, our German ( yes, German) sheperd dog. In the midst of it all- I think- we need to explore the what it means to be church....
...on public issues | post-colonial faith | reconciliation | anti-racism in general. Basically, my take on what happens around me...(and your response)

Colorado cannabis sales top $126M in February 2017 amid federal uncertainty
(Cannabist) In February, licensed shops brought in nearly $126.1 million in sales, with more than $86.4 million in recreational revenue and $39.6 million in medical marijuana revenue. It's the third-highest monthly sales total in Colorado's recreational marijuana era, according to The Cannabist's calculations of Colorado Department of Revenue data made public Tuesday.
The February 2017 sales total was 15 percent higher than January's $109 million in sales and up nearly 36 percent from February 2016, according to historical sales data. The state collected roughly $17.5 million in taxes and fees for the month.
It's the ninth consecutive month in which sales have topped $100 million.

About Laurel Mathews
I moved to Seattle from Salt Lake City, Utah about a year ago. I love knitting, crocheting, cooking, and helping people. I'm not a caretaker by any means but I really like doing stuff for people who a...ren't feeling well. Like making tea or bringing soup or just checking in on general well being or listening to your stories. I've been crocheting for about 10 years and knitting for 3 years. I love making things crocheted or knitted. I'm still a novice knitter so my knitting isn't perfect but all my work is quirky and fun and is obviously handmade with love. I have an English degree from a private college and am also happy to help with any editing or writing help you may need.show moreOpen to other proposals

Samsung has a lot going on off late in its house as the company's unannounced handsets have already hit the rumor section in the online world. Moreover even the leaks are taking place pertaining to those unannounced devices.
Now the latest information on the company's upcoming handset has appeared online. The device comes with a model name SM-G310 and is listed in the FCC's database.
Recommended: Top 5 Best Budget Smartphones Under Rs 10,000
Although there are not much information about the device as of now, the FCC listing has helped us know few of them which includes Android 4.4.2 KitKat device. Moreover, the device is also said to come later this year featuring 4-inch screen and a 5.7Wh battery, which equals to 1500mAh. The Samsung SM-G310 has a width of 2.47 inches (62.7 mm) and a height of 4.76 inches (121 mm).

An bit of research has also brought to our notice that the device has also passed through the Indian import listing site Zauba which also hints at the 4-inch sized display. The import data further confirms that the handset will come in both single and dual-SIM variants.
Apart from this phone, Samsung SM-G9098, which is a premium smartphone with clamshell design, was also leaked online just a day ago. However, the company has not spoken about the two devices formally as of now and no word on pricing and availability of the device however, looking at the SM-G310 model, it seems to be like the entry-level Android KitKat running handset.

I am a big fan of crowd-funding campaigns the main reason being that it is usually a small team of dedicated people who are looking to create something that will change the way we work. Both Kickstarter and Indiegogo have been the birthplace of great companies like the infamous Oculus Rift and the some pretty damn amazing 3D Printers. There is always something great to see on Kickstarter/Indiegogo and being such a fan I decided to start this little segment every Friday called "Starter Friday†catchy right? Basically I will be taking a bunch of campaigns from these sites that I find interesting and put them in here for you guys to check out. So here it is my first Starter Friday list, let me begin.
BEM Wireless Kickstand Projector
This is the first item on my list simply because I think it will be a great new way for me to utilize my Note 2 for media consumption. No longer will people have to crowd around my phone to watch one of my 64 movies, no longer will I have to limit myself to a tiny 5.5 inch screen for internet browsing, no with the BEM Wireless Kickstand I will be able to see my Note 2 screen projected on a giant 96 inch screen whenever I want. The reason, well for one portability, the Kickstand has a built-in A-Frame stand that, paired with a swivel, allows for any flat surface to turn into a giant TV. It also has built-in USB, HDMI, and Audio Auxiliary ports. I like the fact that it has an Auxiliary Out port because that means I can use it with an existing home theater system or just a pair of louder speakers to really give me that cinema experience. So BEM Wireless you get first dibs on this list and if you want to read more check out the Kickstarter link right HERE.
Darkmatter Xbox Laptop and DIY Kit
This is something that appealed to the gamer in me. While watching the video I literally thought that I was dreaming, this is something I have been looking for all my life. Xbox is awesome and I have always loved the Xbox gaming platform so to see Techjango take an Xbox and make it portable gaming machine is amazing. I would happily buy and use the Darkmatter Xbox Laptop every damn day, hell I would take it to a Starbucks just to game right there and get all the reactions from the people around me using their little laptops. You guys should definitely check out the Darkmatter Kickstarter page (link HERE) to get your hands on one of these beauties.
The BikeSpike
I have a bike that I ride everywhere I can from time to time, but the one thing I hate is the lack of security there is in the bike locking world. It is an age-old story, guy/girl locks bike (front tire and all) to a pole in a public place leaves comes back and the bike has been stolen with his cut lock on the ground, he walks home as he probably won't see his bike ever again. Well if he had the BikeSpike he would have had a second chance at getting his bike back.
The BikeSpike is a secret GPS tracking system that can be installed on your bike, the secret part of the BikeSpike is the fact that it looks like a simple water bottler rack so thieves will be none the wiser. The BikeSpike works together with the app (Android/iOS) that allows you to not only monitor and report your bike stolen it also allows you to set up geo-fencing which can be used to keep your kids within a certain range. It also monitors your distance, speed, courses, and can share those stats with friends. If you have a bike this is definitely an investment I would suggest you make, never know who may be eyeing your bike while you're locking it up, so check out the website (link HERE) and secure your bike against the unknowns in the world.
Power saving ads run rampant during the summer, with everyone wanting to turn on an A/C to cool off it is no wonder commercials are full of them. Energy bills go up during the summer and that's when people start disconnecting electrical devices from their outlets to try to save a bit of money. Well if you're like me you know how much of a hassle it is to disconnect things you don't need, enter Valta. This handy little device allows you to monitor what devices are using power via an app (currently for iPhone only, Android version coming soon) and if said device has been left on but isn't being used you can turn it off right from your phone. This allows for an easy way to manage your power and with the apps ability to store your power usage history it can create a detailed guide that will show exactly how much energy you use and how you use it.
The app also received a nice update that allows for a geo-fencing option. This allows you to set up a geo-fence that once you cross it triggers an action in this case turning off all power to your electrical devices, then when you get back within the geo-fence zone all power comes back on. This is a pretty nice idea and can be used to actively control your power usage and ultimately save you some money in the long run. Check out the Kickstarter link HERE to learn more.
Essentially this may make your home into an app controlled home. Benki has created an interesting and remarkable line of products that allow you to truly link your home to your smart phone. There are three products currently available through the Kickstarter and each has a specific function but all work together to create a basic smart phone home. But for now I will talk about just one. The product is called Socket, this is, well a socket, which you plug into your outlet and bam you get a smart outlet.
With the Socket in you'll be able to monitor your energy consumption but this Socket takes it one step further. You see the Socket has a built-in Microphone, Light Sensor, and Temperature sensor that allow you to do some pretty clever things. As an example baby monitor, no need for those big radios that you stick in your room just plug-in the Socket and you got a baby monitor without the hassle or bulky wall chargers. You can set the socket to send you a notification to your phone when the built-in Microphone picks up a loud noise. There are a ton of different things you can do with the Socket so make sure you check out the Kickstarter link HERE.
Well those are my Kickstarters for the first article and I'm curious to hear what you guys think. Will you be backing any of these Kickstarters on my list if so let me know which ones in the comments below. Thanks for reading and I'll see you back here next Friday for another Starter Friday.

Went out for a smoke yesterday mid-morning, and made passing notice of some distant sirens. Returned to my office to sirens of my own...Nagios klaxons aplenty alerting me to a full scale drop out of all Internet connectivity.
Not only that, all the digital phone lines piggy backed on our bonded T1s are...less than functional.
After going through the motions of logging a ticket with our provider and having it confirmed that yes, the circuits are dead somewhere outside our building, I remembered the sirens from the smoke break and started getting that sinking feeling that this was not going to be a good day.
Long story short, a car restoration gone bad ended up torching a garage, heavily damaging the 600 pair cable across the alley. This resulted in our entire industrial park going dark, with one exception...our single analog, plain ole POTS line. A quick rollover order of our main line got us at least getting incoming calls. A stop at the site of the fire revealed multiple AT&T trucks, multiple white-hats shouting orders, and one honking big piece of cable for splicing.
Fast forward to this morning and awakening to a still dead Blackberry. Then, after getting dressed, I got to experience something I had only seen dramatized on television and films. At 6:48, they must have gotten the pairs for our T1s spliced, because I got to watch the Blackberry literally *bounce* across the desk as 235 emails came pouring in. Arriving at the office revealed a reversal from yesterday; all digital items back up, and the POTS dead. A quick cancel of the rollover order restored things to semi normal.
However, semi normal means the remote facilities are now able to get to the help desk and create tickets about how they couldn't access files stored at the main facility all day yesterday.

wow, sounds like a fun day. Look at it this way, you time to closing the tickets from the remote sites will be amazing!!
May 15, 2012 at 8:50 UTC
The last paragraph was, of course, predictable.
May 15, 2012 at 8:54 UTC
Sounds like you're having an amazing day. :P
May 15, 2012 at 8:55 UTC
Sounds like you will have a very productive day, according to ticket numbers, at least. Resolved. Resolved. Resolved...
May 15, 2012 at 9:01 UTC
I should think you could close most of them as duplicates. Happy to hear the world has returned to it's normal state if disrepair for you. Running things off a POTS line would suck, but if it's only for part of a day, then that would be survivable...
May 15, 2012 at 9:01 UTC
Sounds like one to tell the grandchildren! And will they believe you? :-)
May 15, 2012 at 9:03 UTC
Isn't life as a sysadmin wonderfull?
May 15, 2012 at 9:09 UTC
At least your users are using the help desk...
May 15, 2012 at 9:14 UTC
Remind your boss of this on Systems Admin day.
May 15, 2012 at 9:34 UTC
Rough Day. Hope your weeks turns out better.

May 15, 2012 at 9:44 UTC
Don't you love when end users submit tickets for problems they no longer have but just want to "tell" you about them...
May 15, 2012 at 9:51 UTC
Fire bad.

I thought you couldn't say [Content Removed by Moderator] in the forum. Holy [Content Removed by Moderator], they got me!!

I work in a large office park and if the phone "bunker" ever went out 200+ companies would be down! You should see the mess when the only road out of here is flooded!
At some point there will be a point of failure you can do nothing about.
May 15, 2012 at 10:07 UTC
At least your users are using the help desk...
True story. I am still trying to get mine to stop e-mailing in messages directly to a tech or phoning them in. Although we have learnt if we don't handle a ticket for 24 hours if it gets e-mailed to a tech they tent to play ball and at least e-mail to the help desk. Not ideal as it floods the help desk with e-mail signatures and other bollocks, but better than a kick in the crotch.
May 15, 2012 at 10:11 UTC
Oo sounds fun :)
May 15, 2012 at 10:24 UTC
blackberries suck
...which is also what I took from this read that was notably bad.
May 15, 2012 at 11:20 UTC
Fire + Technology = Bad!
Blackberry + Anything = Bad!
Problem + someone else's problem = Good!
May 15, 2012 at 1:36 UTC
Private conversations with fellow admins from the affected businesses have left me feeling not quite so bad about the experience. One poor fellow had just moved a majority of operations to hosted SaaS (I won't use the 'C' word), and he had to come up with multiple ways to describe 'thumb twiddling'.

"colonoscopy and gastroscopy"
About: Chorley & South Ribble Hospital Chorley & South Ribble Hospital Chorley PR7 1PP
Posted by Zuza
I had an awful experience with gastro- and colonoscopy in Chorley Hospital. I was very anxious and throughout my time there nobody asked how I was or if I was ok. Feeling totally embarrassed with the sarcastically called 'dignity shorts' I went into the endoscopy room full of people, of whom only the endoscopist introduced herself. I felt anxious after sedative and analgesic were injected into my vein because of strange sensations: everything was spinning, I couldn't understand sentences (only if they consisted of 2-3 words), I couldn't hear my own voice, so was not sure whether I actually spoke when I thought I did. The colonoscopy was painful, but, contrary to what the information leaflet promised, nobody did anything about it. The procedure just went on, and due to the effects of the sedation I was unable to protest or get away from it. At the end the endoscopist patronisingly stated that I 'did very well'! Wasn't it the endoscopist and the nurses that had a job to do, I. e. keep me comfortable, in which they failed? During the recovery the student nurse was giving me complicated instructions about how I need to ring my partner to pick me up and tell him to text me when he's here. I still could not understand what she was saying, and actually had expected a nurse to do this for me. I felt half-paralysed and helpless, in pain, with nobody giving a damn throughout the procedure. Flashbacks from that experience kept me awake at night and distracted during the day for weeks after. I subsequently made a complaint and requested multiple times to have a different physician assigned for follow up, but after my request has not been granted yet.

One-Pan Chicken and Potato Bake
Recipe by Jens Kitchen
I've made this tons of times for both my husband and friends and they loved it! I found this on kraftfoods.com. I use chicken breasts and I usually boil them first to get any fat off and then bake it in the oven.
Top Review by WinnipegWoman
I made a rough version of this tonight. I used a whole cut up chicken and omitted the potatoes. I also didn't measure anything, just drizzled with the dressing and sprinkled with parmesan and italian seasoning. My son gobbled it down. It will definitely be made again. I loved how simple it was.
See Discussion:9 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 bone-in chicken pieces (1-1/2 lb.)
- 1 1⁄2 lbs potatoes, cut into thin wedges (about 3 med. potatoes)

This is the story of a girl and her three year plan to land an academic post.
Not expecting to finish her PhD and walk straight into academia, Naomi plans to take three years to find that dream job. With no real desire to work full-time until her youngest goes to school in 2018, she plans to continue teaching, research assisting and networking before looking for the dream job. This blog is a log of her ups and downs, the decisions she makes and how they pay off. It is also a space for Naomi to disseminate her research quickly and informally asking for and applying feedback. Maybe a chance reader and critical friend might be the key to a job 😉
Naomi investigates the role social media can play in understanding education transitions in order to better design transition curriculums. She investigated the phenomenon of the first year of university for her doctoral study and is currently investigating other education transitions using social media: Foundation Year of schooling, early career teachers, early career researchers, and academic publication moving offline to online (visible or vanish). By investigating other education transitions, Naomi aims to refine the learner centred transition curriculum she presented in her dissertation.
Naomi is currently working as a postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Griffith Institute for Educational Research (GIER). She is primarily writing for publication the findings of her PhD study, but is also developing a research approach for analysing transitions on social media. Her methodological work is influenced by phenomenography and ethnomethodology (including autoethnography).
Naomi also works in initial teacher education as a sessional academic and research assistant. She is also an active member of the GIER Sociology of Education special interest group at Griffith University.

Nice Job, Sure looks good
Nice Job, Sure looks good
IMHO it looks like your first grind was smeared. You need to look at the grinder attachment and make sure the blade is sharp and the plate is smooth. do not stuff with the blade. you should have a star for stuffing....place the meat in the freezer for a 1/2 hr before grinding.. it will help with the smear....You did a great job....
You'll be making sausages like the pro's with the right equipment....
Thanks. The first grind was great. It was about 90% frozen and it came through perfect. It was so cold that any tiny remaining connective tissue (I hand cleaned the pork and got rid of anything I could see) got cut up and didn't even get caught in the blade. I didn't use the blade to stuff it and allowed it to pass through straight into the stuffing tube after the grind. The blade and plate are new and still very clean and sharp. The problem was when I had to pass it through the stuffer again after I tore the casing when trying to twist the sausages to size. I didn't refreeze the mixture which I should have done.
I just defrosted a couple for dinner and I split them down the middle and fried them crispy. I like everything extra crispy on the outside and it tastes great that way, a lot better than just out of the smoker but they're still supposed to be fine ground looking on the inside out of the smoker, not emulsified looking.
Practice makes perfect! :)
Thanks again
I am not a heavy duty user. But when I decided to start making sausage and curing meat. I bought all stand alone stuff. I didn't buy high end but what I got works great.
Don't worry about nylon gears. Just dont put a lot of pressure on the handle when the plunger bottoms out & you'll be fine. I have a nylon geared stuffer that I've been using for 5+ yrs and it's still going strong.
Personally I don't understand why, from an engineering viewpoint, they don't make one gear easily acessible as to change out and make it plastic. This would solve problems like Case's with a wear bearing. They design a wear point like they should, maybe make it a bit easier to change out like on the augars of thier grinders.
Brass wear bearings are just the pits for wear points. They wear fast and they are nearly always a pain in the butt to get out and replace.

Big Boat classes - Raymarine Warsash Spring Champs
by Flavia Bateson on 23 Apr 2008
Nothing could touch the TP52 'RAN' Eddie Mays - copyright
Competitors and officials alike had to contend with some very unpleasant conditions - sullen skies, a bitter driving rain and cold Force 5 to 6 north-easterly.
In the Big Boat classes, the 45 footers provided some very close on-the-water racing for the final of the Raymarine Warsash Spring Championship.
Boat handling and tactical skills proved often more important than boat design, which is the attraction of this type of racing level handicapped.
A good example of this was Tony Langley's Atomic, which raced downwind without a spinnaker pole, picked up the gybe point to perfection and passed McFly within feet of the finish for ninth place.
This weekend, Simon Henning and his crew on Alice II were the masters of the fleet. They scored three wins, a second and a fifth from the five races completed. They were hard on the heels of Eamonn O'Nolan's Freddie Freeloader, but O'Nolan had no result worse than a fourth over the two weekend series, so won by three points.
IRC1 provided a very interesting mix of boats topped by three TP52s, through a bevy of 40 foot designs and larger J-Boats, down to Peter Rutter's new Quokka, a Corby 36.
On Saturday morning the young team from Volvo RYA Keelboat Sailing on their TP52 John Merricks II had round the world sailor Alex Thompson calling the tactics. They enjoyed a brilliant first race, finishing 10 minutes ahead of the rest, but after that Niklas Zennstrom's Ran, also a TP52, proved unstoppable, taking the three following races on Saturday as well as a clean sweep of the two on Sunday.
The Irish boat Blondie IV, Eamonn Ronan's very pretty King 40, was the next most consistent boat, collecting four seconds, a third and sixth in six races, although she did not compete on the first weekend. Had she done so, she would almost certainly have finished higher than her 11th place overall.
The First 40.7 Class was mainly a tussle between three boats - Tarka, tfs Philosophie IV and Portia. Although Steve Anderson and Jane Curwen in Encore scored a third and first on Sunday, they had missed too many races to break into the top ranks. David Richards' Prime Suspect finished top of the table in the Commodore's Cup Class 3 but a final decision as to who is finally included in the team rests with the RYA.
Raymarine Warsash Spring Championship for Big Boat Series
Provisional Final Results:
45 Footers
1st Farr 45 Freddie Freeloader Eamonn O'Nolan 21 pts
2nd Farr 45 Alice II Simon Henning 24 pts
3rd Ker 46 Fair Do's VII John Shepherd 42.5 pts
1st DK46 Dark & Steamy Nick & Anne Haigh 45 pts
2nd TP52 Poppy of Portland John Dean 51.5 pts
3rd First 45 John Merricks II Volvo RYA Keelboat 59 pts
First 40.7
1st Tarka Guy Prest 18 pts
2nd tfs Philosophie IV Nicolas Gaumont-Prat 22 pts
3rd Portia Andrew Iyer 24 pts
