I started out this year requiring both classes (5 sections, 130 kids) to register with a class blog and register on the textbook (PPH) website.
I set it up so that they needed to be logged into both to complete a homework assignment the first week. I gave them super explicit written instructions for everything they were expected to do, several days to do it, and practically continuous email support.
I'm not handing out books. Not yet. After a few weeks, after we get over the resistance to something new, then if they still want a book they can have a book.
Apparently this makes me THE MEANEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD. (She won't even give us a book!)
Digital natives, my butt.
I'm embarrassed at the number of times I've had to suppress the "chuck it all and go back to business as usual" reaction. And at its severity.
This week has also been riddled with maddening technical issues with the Smartboard and the laptop it's attached to. My grand plans to use polleverywhere in class were foiled by the lack of Verizon coverage in my classroom. (Verizon is supposed to be the good one, around here!)
It's only been 3 days.
Did anyone get the number of that truck driving school? Truck Masters, I think it was called?

| 7.2°C Belfast
Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder had few complaints about his side's 30-14 Aviva Premiership win over bottom side Worcester despite the Saints missing out on a bonus point.
Saints made hard work of the first half before out-muscling a Warriors side who saw their captain Jonathan Thomas sent off in the second half.
Indeed Worcester were down to 13 men at one point with Sam Betty in the sin-bin and team-mate Leonardo Senatore was also yellow carded in the first half.
But after seeing 15 points from Stephen Myler's boot, a penalty try and two GJ van Velze tries take his side back to the top of the Premiership, Mallinder was a happy man.
"We're top of the league, which is a pretty good place to be to be honest," he said.
"It's (difficult) in international weeks when we've got a number of our best players missing and a number of them still injured as well.
"It's slightly frustrating that we couldn't get the bonus point in the last few minutes, but very pleasing we're still in winning ways.
"They picked a big, heavy pack and stopped us mauling, legally or not, but they stopped us.
"We knew that like when we went down to Worcester earlier this season, that if we kept moving the ball and kept playing decent rugby the gaps would appear, and so it proved."
With Newcastle picking up a point in defeat to Harlequins, Worcester are now 11 points adrift at the foot of the table
Warriors director of rugby Dean Ryan said: "We didn't get anything out of it, but we did as a group in terms of showing we were prepared to fight. We move on to next week.
"We've got a challenge here this season with this group. I know what next season looks like, but I'm interested in the people here at the moment and they did a good job today.
"We didn't get anything out of it this week, but we've got a home game next week and if we keep turning in emotional performances like this one and the one last week we're going to cause someone a problem soon.
"If we get one win then everyone else is going to start looking behind them and we'll go from there."

Rain Gardens
There are many benefits to gardening with a social conscience.
Looking for a garden that's easy to install, requires very little maintenance, looks good year-round and has a positive impact on the environment? Then a rain garden might be the right garden for you.
Rain gardens catch stormwater runoff from roofs, sidewalks, parking lots and roads. Rather than rushing off into a storm sewer or a local waterway, the rainwater collects in a rain garden. It can be planted with native grasses and wildflowers that are specially selected for their ability to gradually absorb and filter stormwater – a beautiful solution to a real New Orleans problem.
In addition, rain gardens recharge local aquifers and help protect communities from flooding and drainage problems. Rain gardens also help protect streams and lakes from pollutants carried by urban stormwater such as lawn fertilizers, pesticides and numerous harmful substances that wash off roofs and roads. Studies have shown that as much as 70 percent of the pollution in streams, rivers and lakes was carried there by stormwater.
Global Green USA's Holy Cross Project is used for education and advocacy for sustainable building. It has examples of rain gardens and bioswales, landscape elements designed to remove silt and pollution from surface runoff water, at its Lower Ninth Ward site. They welcome visitors and are a great resource for all things "green" and sustainable.
"Here in New Orleans, where we are prone to flooding with our fast rain events, rain gardens can help a great deal with our street flooding," says Michelle Pyne, Green Building program associate with Global Green USA. "They also help filter out runoff such as oil. They really do help our overburdened storm water systems."
Many other organizations are beginning to incorporate rain gardens into their landscape planning. Andrew Wilson Elementary School has a 12,000-gallon water cistern that collects rainwater and uses it for its landscape irrigation. The Rosa F. Keller Library and Community Center has a small rain garden filled with irises.
You'll find an in-depth guide, "Stormwater and Your Rain Garden" on LSU AgCenter's website, lsuagcenter.com. It will give you a solid start, and as with all things gardening, nothing beats just contacting your local county agent at 658-2900.
But here's a short "how-to": Your rain garden should be located at least 10 feet from your house. A typical residential rain garden is 100 to 300 square feet, but any size rain garden is fine. A natural site is a low spot in your yard that often collects water after a heavy rain. The downspout from your roof should be directed toward your garden. And it's recommended to place it in full- to partial-sun exposure.
Once you've identified the new garden's location, dig up the soil and remove any existing turf grass. Dig the area to a depth of 4 to 6 inches, and grade the area so there is a lower catch basin. You may need to line that area of the garden with plastic to help retain a small pool of water.
Native plants are your best choice. They withstand difficult growing conditions and are low-maintenance. As always, choose plants considering their height, bloom time and color.
"Horsetails take off like crazy, and they thrive here," says Pyne."Irises and cypress trees also do very well."
New plants should be watered every other day for the first two weeks or so. Once they are well-established, your garden should thrive without additional watering or fertilizing.
If you don't have the space or don't want to make a full rain garden commitment, you might consider harvesting rainwater in rain barrels, an ancient practice once again in vogue in our greener urban landscapes.
Kelli Wright and architect Kurt Hagstette with Eskew+Dumez+Ripple recently installed a Poly-Mart, Inc. rain harvesting tank in their yard after Wright attended a Preservation Resource Center workshop on rain gardens.
"I just think it's a good idea," she says. "It's free water and such a simple thing to do. We use the water on our plants and it's perfect for the pool."
One thing to consider about your rain barrel is that it needs to be covered. Think mosquitos and yellow fever. There are many places to purchase safe rain barrels online and at retail stores, but if you want to increase your social conscience cred, I suggest purchasing rain barrels from the Community Service Center (CSC).
CSC helps ex-offenders offer services that help them become successful citizens. CSC's Rainwater Catchment Barrels are very affordable – just $55. Their website is cscnouw.org.
If you decide to take responsibility for the rainwater that falls off your roof, you'll be helping protect our rivers, streams and lakes. Adding a rain garden is simply lush lagniappe, providing food and shelter for wildlife, and giving you a hardy, low-maintenance and naturally beautiful garden.

Yesterday, representatives from DDOT, the Metropolitan Police Department, and the D.C. Taxicab Commission joined up with D.C. bike ambassadors to stop drivers from u-turning across Pennsylvania Avenue. Volunteers distributed literature on the consequences of the illegal maneuver, and MPD officers handed out warnings.
The event got plenty of attention: Area cyclists have been pushing for better enforcement of u-turning drivers in earnest since late last year, and the cycletrack was on prominent display during recent festivities for the presidential inauguration. WJLA reports that, last year, 11 out of 16 crashes on Pennsyvlania Avenue were the result of u-turning drivers. Beginning today, drivers who make a u-turn across the lanes will receive a $100 fine.
A visible awareness campaign, even for one day during an off-peak time, is great news. As Martin DiCaro reports for WAMU, "Bicycle advocates also see the need for the enforcement as a sign of progress. If D.C. hadn't seen such growth in bicycling, there'd be no issues with cabbies crashing into bicyclists as taxi drivers and others make illegal U-turns. If D.C. weren't such a big bicycling city, there'd be no bike lanes on Pennsylvania Avenue in the first place."
We hope that DDOT, MPD, and DCTC will continue to educate drivers and enforce the illegality of u-turns.
Check out DDOT's Facebook page for a gallery of photos and additional information on enforcement on Pennsylvania Avenue.

The Movie:
Hail Mary is one of two films directed by Jean-Luc Godard that the Cohen Media Group is releasing in beautiful new Blu-ray editions (the other is For Ever Mozart). Originally released in 1985, Hail Mary is considered part of Godard's "second Golden Age," where his experimentation and intellectualism managed to not alienate wider audiences and he managed to have some relative hits. Of course, in Hail Mary's case, it doesn't hurt that the film was at the center of a giant media controversy, stemming from accusations that the film -- a riff on the dogmas of Immaculate Conception and the Virgin Birth -- was heretical. Pope John Paul II actually watched the film -- unlike many of the film's protesters -- but nonetheless panned it and found it to be anti-Catholic.
Considering the countless shots of the heroine's naked body and the irreverent and often funny way that Godard re-stages events from the Gospels, it's easy to see how the film might cause offense. Anyone paying attention, however, can tell that Godard's interest is not just in shock and provocation. By placing his Virgin Mary in a modern setting, with a working class life, Godard poses a what-if? scenario that feels almost realistic. It lends his characters' reflections on the relationship between the earthly and the spiritual -- between the body and the soul -- an immediacy that holds the viewer, even as Godard fractures the film's scenes in ways that have become almost typical for him at this point (unusual framing, intentionally stilted blocking, lots of off-camera and overlapping dialogue, music cues that start and stop abruptly, recurring title cards featuring partial sentences, etc.).
The gorgeous Myriem Roussel stars as Mary, a young basketball player who works in her father's gas station. Her boyfriend is a cab driver named Joseph (Thierry Rode) who, one day, brings a fare named Gabriel to the gas station. Gabriel, accompanied by his niece (Manon Andersen), informs Mary that she is going to have a child, even though she has never been with a man. Mary and Joseph both find this hard to swallow, but soon Mary feels pains in her abdomen and becomes convinced. A trip to the gynecologist confirms that indeed she is pregnant and indeed she is still a virgin.
Joseph has considerable and understandable trouble accepting this situation, not in the least because he is now forbidden from having sex with Mary. As he wrestles with his asexual fate, a young Juliette Binoche, as one of Mary's teammates, unsuccessfully tries to steal him away for herself. One of the film's key scenes (from which the poster image originates) has Joseph ask Mary to show him her naked body and then has him struggle with how to express his love for her without just laying his hands on her. Another has Mary alone in bed, flailing and confused, simultaenously trying to give herself to the spirit within her and confronting the reality of pregnancy. Eventually, she lies quietly in bed breathing in and out, allowing her normally flat belly to balloon, almost like a child pretending she's becoming pregnant.
Moments like these can be devastating. Roussel and (to a slightly lesser extent) Rode are emotionally raw and utterly committed in their performances. Godard does his part by giving them fully realized characters to play, an approach that would prove rarer and rarer in the films he would continue to make. While the characters frequently ponder philosophy and much is examined through the lens of psychoanalysis, these theorizations feel grounded in the characters. Later Godard films (and sure, some of the earlier ones too) feature actors being mouthpieces for whatever concepts or slogans Godard happened to want to underline, but, in Hail Mary, it always feels like we're watching real people struggling. Even in the film's tangential subplot, where a professor has an affair with his student and they speak a lot of theory-heavy dialogue, there's a plausible human relationship there.
Godard reportedly had a mad desire for Roussel, whom he met on the set of his 1982 film Passion, and it shows in the way he films her. The close-ups on her face feel extra close and extremely intimate, not only highlighting Roussel's beauty and youthful vigor, but also seeming to attempt to unlock the mystery behind her eyes. Just as Mary is trying to unlock her own internal mystery.
Hail Mary is preceded on the Blu-ray with a short film by Godard's frequent collaborator and life partner, Anne-Marie Miéville, called The Book of Mary. This back-to-back presentation is how the films were presented theatrically, and they form an unusual but suitable diptych. Both films have a main character whose name is Mary, and at first glance, that would seem to be the only connecting factor -- apart from Miéville using much of the same crew that worked on Hail Mary. The Book of Mary deals with the end of a marriage and its effect on the couple's imaginative daughter. The key scene features young Mary (Rebecca Hampton) putting on a classical music piece and improvising a dance in her mother's living room. She flings her limbs about in unexpectedly elegant ways before wrestling with an ottoman and punching at the air. Miéville, much like Godard would, allows the camera to impassively sit and watch Mary move in and out of the frame as she unleashes her bodily expression. The dance feels almost like a foreshadowing of the scene in Hail Mary when Roussel's Mary flails in bed; in these moments, the Marys from both films seem seized by anguish and longing.
There are other echoes between the two films. Both films feature moments of mother and child together in water, suggesting a womb and the creation of life. Apples are eaten in both films, potentially referring to the Biblical origin story and a loss of innocence, as both Marys are forced to come of age due to their circumstances. Admittedly, these readings of those symbols might be a little too on-the-nose for them to be part of the filmmakers' intent, but the presence of these similarities illustrates a further kinship between the two films.
The Blu-ray
The Video:The pillarboxed 1.37:1 AVC-encoded 1080p picture is truly excellent. Overall, the transfer boasts great clarity and a nice reproduction of the film texture and grain. The color balance is an improvement over the old New Yorker DVD, which was too blue and too contrast-y. Here the skin tones are more realistic and the contrast is far more nuanced. On the downside, there are a few isolated incidences of minor blockiness and banding, but they are thankfully rare.
The Audio:The soundtrack is LPCM French 2.0 (with optional English subtitles) and is a nice clear reproduction of the layered soundtrack created by Godard, Miéville (during her segment), and the sound man François Musy. Dialogue, classical music cues, and ambient sound all dodge and weave in and around each other, creating an idiosyncratic soundscape that one would come to expect from a Godard film.
Special Features:The Cohen Film Collection has once again provided a great set of supplements for their release, starting with a booklet featuring photos and two scholarly essays, "The God Within" by Charles Warren and "Miéville and Godard: From Psychology To Spirit" by David Sterritt.
Final Thoughts:In the 2013 re-release trailer, Slate is quoted as saying that Hail Mary is "the last great Godard film." While there are plenty of arguments to be made about countless further glimmers of greatness in the 30 years of films he's made since, Hail Mary might be the last time Godard made a movie where the people he presented were as important to him as the ideas they expressed. Highly Recommended.

Whether you are changing your own oil or letting us do it for you, understanding the how's and why's will help to make the intelligent decisions that protect your investment. While the main function of motor oil is to lubricate the moving parts of the engine, it also helps to prevent corrosion and cool the engine by carrying heat away from the moving parts; without oil, the engine seizes up and dies. Regularly changing your oil can help combat these engine seizures and help to protect your investment promoting a long vehicle life.
Conventional oil is formulated with additive packages to ensure that it has the proper heat tolerance, breakdown resistance, and viscosity (thickness and fluidity) that engines require. For many vehicles, conventional oil is sufficient to get the proverbial job done. Depending on your application, stepping up to a more robust motor oil may be the right solution
High Mileage oil is meant for vehicles that have over 75,000 miles on the odometer. High-mileage oil features unique additives that help to protect seals, which in turn prevents oil evaporation, also known as burn-off, a problem that can occur more easily in older engines. High-mileage, high-performance vehicles, however, would benefit from using a synthetic oil as opposed to high-mileage.
Synthetic or "full synthetic" oil is engineered specifically to provide the highest level of lubrication in high and low temperatures, which results in better overall engine protection. Synthetic oil has superior cleansing properties which help to keep your engine cleaner.
While it is the most expensive type of motor oil, it is considered by many to be the best type of oil that you can put in your car. However, not every car requires synthetic oil.
If your driving conditions are not ideal, synthetic oil might be the best option for you. In bases of stop and go traffic, short trips, or very cold or hot temperatures, stepping up to synthetic might be the best case scenario.
Check your owner's manual to determine whether you vehicle requires synthetic oil. Most newer cars require synthetic oil but older cars should run just fine with a conventional oil unless your car has over 75,000 miles on it, in which case a high-mileage oil is recommended.

The release of a B.C. auditor general's report on the province's controversial carbon trading system was delayed Tuesday over allegations the report was improperly leaked.
The Speaker of the B.C. legislature, Bill Barisoff, announced he would withhold the report until he has concluded discussions with the auditor general, noting a "breach of parliament may have occurred."
Even before its release, the report was broadsided by a barrage of criticism and a threat of legal action from carbon industry players who said they were disturbed by the discussions they had with the auditor general's office as it was preparing the report.
B.C.'s carbon trading system has long been controversial because public money from hospitals and universities — more than $50 million so far — is being transferred to the private sector to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, through carbon offsets.
Doyle's report was to examine whether the carbon offsets the province purchased to declare its public sector neutral were "credible."
B.C.-based Offsetters, a carbon credit developer and broker, sent a letter to B.C. Attorney General Shirley Bond outlining concerns that the audit would be unfair and ill-informed.
Three groups representing industries that trade in the global carbon market and Verified Carbon Standard — an organization that sets standards for carbon trading — made similar claims in letters to the auditor general.
However, critics of B.C.'s carbon trading system say the parties complaining about the report have a financial stake in the province's carbon trading system.
Independent MLA Bob Simpson, who has been a vocal critic of the system, said the industry group is simply trying to discredit the auditor general's report, which is why it's important to release it quickly.
"It (the delay) could lead to the report being squashed and all the public knows is the vested interests who are making money from this thing weren't happy with what the auditor general had to say, but will never know what (the auditor) had to say," said Simpson.
In response to the Speaker's decision to withhold the report, auditor general John Doyle issued a prepared statement.
"It is with disappointment that I must speak on this matter, rather than the content of the report. However, in light of discussions surrounding 'premature disclosure,' I feel I must take the unusual step of clarifying the process by which my independent audits are reported," said Doyle.
He noted it has been a well-established practice for many years to share draft reports with the relevant ministries before they are transmitted to the Speaker of the legislature.
In addition, he said his office has a long-standing practice of providing briefings to ministers and deputy ministers, as well as the chair and deputy chair of the select standing committee on public accounts and other potentially interested MLAs, ahead of the final report's public release.
Under the law, the auditor general must send a copy of any of his reports to the minister of finance, and to the minister responsible for the area being audited. This must happen at least seven days before the report is released to the public to give the government opportunity to respond.
Simpson acknowledged he received an embargoed copy of the report ahead of its expected release. He said he was told by the auditor general's office this is common practice, as advanced briefings and copies are sometimes provided to interested parties, including individual MLAs.
Simpson said even if there is an issue over procedure, he sees no reason the report cannot be released now. "I think (the report) should be released today, at the most within 24 hours."
The Vancouver Sun has also learned that on March 6, a copy of the report marked "Advance Embargoed copy for Environment Critic Rob Fleming" was sent by the auditor general's office to the deputy minister of finance.
Fleming was not available for comment Tuesday.
An NDP caucus spokesman said Fleming did receive a report from the auditor general's office earlier this month. The spokesman said the auditor general's office then recalled the report from Fleming within days of it being sent, adding Fleming returned the copy as requested.
Among letters released to media by carbon industry players was one from Offsetters CEO James Tansey dated Feb. 18 that warns Bond of potential legal action because of an "unqualified and erroneous" report. Tansey called on Bond to "amend" the auditor general's report before its release.
The letter notes that Offsetters has more than $500 million in carbon credits to broker in the next 30 years, most of them from the Great Bear Rainforest project.
"We would have no choice but to seek compensation from the government of British Columbia for revenues lost due to the misguided actions of the (office of the auditor general)," said the letter.
In her response Feb. 26, Bond said she had alerted the auditor general to Tansey's concerns but noted the attorney general had no authority to amend Doyle's report.
In an interview Tuesday, Tansey said the two projects examined by the auditor general were an Encana natural gas drilling project in northeast B.C. and the Darkwoods forestry project in the Kootenays.
He said neither himself nor the other carbon players in the group that released letters to media had seen Doyle's report.
However, through discussions during the audit, they were concerned the auditor general's office was not qualified to assess the validity of the carbon projects, he said. "It's (the auditor general's office) no more qualified than a member of the public who knows a bit about forestry," said Tansey, referring to the Darkwoods project.
He noted the report could have ramifications in the annual $176-billion global carbon market if it calls into question the industry's validation and verification procedures.
The company Tansey heads helped develop the Darkwoods project and also bought carbon credits from the project later sold to a German company.
Forest Carbon Group managing director Alexander Zang told Doyle in a letter last fall that as a supporter of Darkwoods, "we are quite dismayed to learn of the misinterpretation and apparent lack of understanding" of your audit team.

int sigqueue(pid_t pid, int sig, const union sigval value);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
sigqueue(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199309L
The value argument is used to specify an accompanying item of data (either an integer or a pointer value) to be sent with the signal, and has the following type:
union sigval { int sival_int; void *sival_ptr; };
If the receiving process has installed a handler for this signal using the SA_SIGINFO flag to sigaction(2), then it can obtain this data via the si_value field of the siginfo_t structure passed as the second argument to the handler. Furthermore, the si_code field of that structure will be set to SI_QUEUE.
On Linux, the underlying system call is actually named rt_sigqueueinfo(), and differs in its third argument, which is the siginfo_t structure that will be supplied to the receiving process's signal handler or returned by the receiving process's sigtimedwait(2) call. Inside the glibc sigqueue() wrapper, this argument, info, is initialized as follows:
info.si_signo = sig; /* argument supplied to sigqueue() */ info.si_code = SI_QUEUE; info.si_pid = getpid(); /* Process ID of sender */ info.si_uid = getuid(); /* Real UID of sender */ info.si_value = val; /* argument supplied to sigqueue() */

Even with Jose Mourinho watching on, Real Madrid seemed to be the last thing on United's minds as Ryan Giggs and Robin van Persie scored the first-half goals that were enough to see off a dogged Everton, keeping the Reds well clear atop the table after Manchester City's shock defeat to Southampton on Saturday.
Giggs has now scored in a remarkable 23 successive league seasons, yet another milestone in an unparalleled career, while for Van Persie, it was the 23rd goal of a sensational debut campaign.
United almost made the perfect start as Wayne Rooney threaded a pass through to Van Persie, which allowed the Dutchman to cruise round Tim Howard, but he surprisingly turned his shot on to the post.
But it was not long before Giggs' shot was rolling in off a post after Van Persie had set him up. It extended the veteran Welshman's remarkable record of scoring in all 21 Premier League seasons and means he has now found the target in 23 campaigns.
Much like the corresponding fixture last season, when they twice came back from two goals down to clinch the draw, Everton responded with vigour. David de Gea produced an excellent flying stop to deny Leon Osman and Kevin Mirallas' cross was not quite accurate enough for Victor Anichebe, who would have had the goal at his mercy.
United defender Nemanja Vidic threw himself into the fray, literally at times, with relish, while danger-man Marouane Fellaini picked up a shadow in Phil Jones, who nullified the Belgian's threat. However, Jones took a knock in the first half and headed straight to the dressing room for treatment after failing to run it off in the second.
The hosts defensive efforts kept Everton at bay, and when Rafael supplied Van Persie with a similar chance to the one he had spurned earlier, this time the Dutchman's finish, after again rounding Howard, had greater accuracy and just too much power to prevent Johnny Heitinga from keeping it out.
United managed to keep Everton at arm's length for most of the second period. They might well have increased their lead too, only for Jonny Evans to be left bewildered at how he was denied three times within the space of five seconds.
Two Tim Howard saves and a scrambled Nikica Jelavic clearance frustrated the Northern Irishman. Meanwhile, Rooney's last-minute header to deny Heitinga a shooting chance epitomised the effort United had put in at the back, with De Gea also saving from Jelavic late on.

You are here
Conflicts may arise when you synchronize your program if:
- another user has made conflicting changes since you last synchronized with the Gemini Observing Database
- the Phase-2 Status has changed since you last synchronized and your change is no longer permitted
If you encounter a conflict you will get this pop-up message which gives you two choices:
1. "Accept All Remote" will forget about any changes that you have just made and accept all the incoming changes from the Gemini Observing Database.
2. "Cancel and Review" will allow you to review the conflicts and retain any changes that you have made.
|The Conflict panel on the right will describe the conflict and how it can be resolved. In the example to the right you may use the button labeled "Display local version" to switch between the two versions in order to decide which you prefer. Pressing the "Keep displayed version" button will mark this conflict as resolved. Clicking the "Conflict" button in the upper right will take you to the next conflict, if any. When all the conflicts have been resolved you may synchronize with the Gemini Observing Database.
|In the case where it is possible to toggle between the two different versions the conflicting elements will be marked by red "C" icons, as shown to the right. The Conflict button in the upper right may be used to navigate between the different conflicts.
If the local and remote versions of an observation cannot be automatically merged (and the conflict distilled down to a single component as in the example above) then the local copy of the conflicting observation will be put into a "Conflict" folder so that you may keep your changes if you desire. Selecting the Conflict folder will show the message below. If you click this button it will delete all your changes since your last synchronization with the Gemini Observing Database. If you prefer to review each of the conflicts click on the Conflict button at the top right to navigate to the next conflict.
|An example Conflict folder is shown at the right. It contains the local observation which could not be merged with the observation in the Gemini Observing Database. This is done so that the local changes are not accidentally overwritten. If you want to retain your modifications you may drag the observation out of the Conflict folder.
|When you click on an observation in the Conflict folder the panel at the right will describe where the observation came from. In this case the observation is the local copy of Observation 5 in the Gemini Observing Database.
|Another example of a conflict which cannot be automatically merged is where one user makes a change to an observation and another user deletes the same observation. The OT will put the deleted observation into the Conflict folder so that you may decide whether to delete it. If you want to save it just drag the observation out of the Conflict folder.

College Goal Kentucky Provides Free Help to Kentucky Students Filing for Financial Aid
College Goal Kentucky, which provides free help to families applying for college financial aid, will take place at various sites across the state.
On Monday, February 3, from 5:00 7:00 p.m., the program will be offered on the Laurel Campus of Somerset Community College in Room 210 of Building 2, 100 University Drive, London.
On Thursday, February 6, from 5:00 7:00 p.m., the program will take place on the Somerset Campus of Somerset Community College in Room 110 of the Cooper Building, 808 Monticello Street, Somerset.
All attendees will be eligible to enter into a drawing for a chance to win a scholarship that can be used at any Kentucky school.
At College Goal Kentucky, financial aid professionals from Kentucky will help students and families complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is the form students must submit to receive federal and state student aid.
College Goal Kentucky is sponsored by the Kentucky Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (KASFAA). It is funded by the Lumina Foundation for Education, the YMCA and KnowHow2GoKY.org.
This is a premier event that provides Kentuckians with both informational and financial resources to reach their postsecondary educational goals, said KASFAA President Katie Conrad. With the assistance of the financial aid experts at College Goal Kentucky, students can submit the FAFSA in a timely manner, enabling them to qualify for thousands of dollars in financial aid, including a variety of grants and loans.
Demand continues to rise
According to the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA), participation in state aid programs has more than quadrupled since the 1990s. In the 2012-2013 academic year, KHEAA disbursed $198.7 million in higher education grants and scholarships to nearly 93,860 students. Students who file the FAFSA before early February have the best chance of receiving these funds.
What to bring
Students are encouraged to attend College Goal Kentucky with a parent or guardian. They should bring their and their parents completed 2013 IRS 1040 tax returns and any other 2013 income and benefit information. If families have not completed their taxes, they are encouraged to bring their 2012 IRS 1040 tax forms and last paycheck stubs from 2013 so that financial aid professionals will be able to show families how to use estimated information to submit the FAFSA and how to go back and update their information once taxes are completed. Everything elsepens, pencils and FAFSA worksheetswill be provided.

Happy Birthday Margo! We share a birthday and I was in your store on Saturday, stocking up as usual; now where do I put it all I ask myself? Loren was a very gracious host...what a gem. I'm sorry I missed you and sounds like you had a great trip. I started cutting up the new Dear Jane packet that I purchased. They are for the Eastern Star that I am hand piecing. It will be lovely. See you this summer I am sure.ReplyDelete
HappyBirthday,Margo. Sounds like you had a perfect celebration. I love the special cooper jam pan Ron got you as well.ReplyDelete
I too agree that this exhibit was fabu. and to boot you got to shop on the way home. happy birthday and many moreReplyDelete
Happy birthday, Margo. What a great way to celebrate. Best of luck on the teaching and the new Dargates.ReplyDelete
I have enjoyed your work since I was introduced to it separately by a friend in living history and my quilter mother. I envy your ability to do what you love. If I could, I would love to trade places with you. A very long time ago I did research in England on fabrics and prints available to the average sewer on the street. I miss those days. Keep up the good work, and all the movies you've worked on, I realize I have not been disappointed in the period clothes. Thanks for sharing the authenticity.
Hi Margo,ReplyDelete
I was looking for vintage fabrics for dressmaking. I maintain a site with vintage sewing patterns. I happened upon your site and then your blog. I used to live in Omaha, and have yet to be back to see the quilt museum in Lincoln. Thanks for the "review" .Sounds like it is worth the trip. Belated Happy Birthday!

EVENTIDE H7600 Ultra-Harmonizer
Click here for a PDF of the specifications for the Eventide H7600 Ultra-Harmonizer
The H7600 is the latest edition of the Ultra-Harmonizer multi-effects processor from Eventide, a leading name in high-end professional effects technology since the 1970s. Building on its predecessors (the H3000, DSP4000, and DSP7000 series), the H7600 boasts greater processing power, expanded effects building blocks, increased user-memory storage with CompactFlash cards, and a new operating system that includes a search engine to help navigate its vast library of more than a thousand presets.
FIG. 1: The H7600''s front panel houses a large LCD, soft key and cursor buttons for navigation, and a data wheel and 10-key pad for data entry.
The H7600 faceplate colors have been given a makeover with the same burnished silver look as Eventide's flagship model, the H8000FW (see Fig. 1). The H8000FW is an 8-channel, dual-processor unit, whereas the H7600 is a single-processor stereo unit. With approximately 25 percent more processing power than the DSP7000 series it replaces, the H7600 is Eventide's most advanced stereo Ultra-Harmonizer to date.
The H7600 does lack the H8000FW's FireWire connectivity. That option, although a convenient computer interface standard, is less essential because the H7600 is not routing eight channels of I/O as the H8000FW does. The H7600's rear panel offers a versatile selection of 2-channel connections: analog (XLR combo jack input and XLR output) and digital (AES/EBU and S/PDIF) that you can mix and match as needed. The rear panel also has word-clock I/O; MIDI In, Out, and Thru; pedal jacks; a port for Eventide's Eve/Net remote controller; and a 9-pin RS-232 serial port for accessing software upgrades over the Internet (see Fig. 2).
Up Front
The front panel sports the same user interface as earlier Ultra-Harmonizers, with meters and a bypass button, a large LCD with four corresponding soft key buttons underneath, function and cursor buttons, a large data wheel, and a 10-key numeric pad. When the Program button is selected, the LCD shows a list of presets, with four presets visible at a time. You use a navigation wheel or cursor-up and down buttons to scroll through presets. If you know a preset's number, you can recall it directly with the 10-key pad.
The H7600's Search feature provides a new time-saving method of navigating presets. It sorts them according to various criteria and categories (effect type, intended use, banks, user groups, recent use, location, and so forth). With more than 1,000 factory presets arranged in 85 banks along with additional user-preset banks, the search engine is a powerful means to quickly locate the right effect.
Presets can also be selected using MIDI. You can organize your favorites in User Groups and use the MIDI Map function to create banks of 128 custom programs that you can recall with MIDI Program Changes. The H7600's 85 banks respond to MIDI Bank Select commands, and I was able to create a Mac OS X ".midnam" patch list file and select any of the factory presets by name using pop-up bank menus within my sequencing application. The patch list works with MOTU Digital Performer, Digidesign Pro Tools, and Steinberg Cubase, and you can adapt it for Apple Logic. I've made the patch list available to Eventide to post online.
Parameter Editing
Once a program is loaded, the LCD changes to Parameter mode, in which essential functions are immediately available for editing. Four soft keys call up additional screens for editing lesser-used parameters. Many presets have a handy Info soft key that brings up a text description of the preset and how to operate it.
FIG. 2: The H7600''s rear panel provides XLR jacks for analog I/O, several forms of digital I/O, MIDI In, Out, and Thru jacks, and an RS-232 port.
Although I do most of my tweaking in software these days, I found the H7600's front-panel interface quite user friendly. Screens are well organized, and there are enough dedicated controls and options to keep most functions easily accessible. Very little paging through screens is necessary. Naming patches, always the Achilles' heel of front-panel interfaces, is the only tedious part.
You can dig more deeply into the H7600 DSP architecture with Vsig (Windows) and VsigX (Mac) editing software. Microsoft Vsig lets you create completely new algorithms through custom construction of some 230 effects-module building blocks. Vsig is much more than the simple editor-librarian you might expect. It offers a flexible flowchart-and-wire graphical interface, and you can even program in code if you're so inclined.
Software integration is more important than ever these days, and this is one area where the H7600 could stand some improvement. VsigX, the Mac version of Vsig, is not officially supported by Eventide; it was adapted from Vsig by a generous Mac user in his spare time. Although Vsig does provide far deeper programming power than most software editors, its interface will prove daunting to users who simply want to perform common tasks such as tweaking, renaming, and organizing patches.
Those Spectacular Presets
The H7600's generous complement of presets covers any conceivable signal-processing need. You'll find more than just the top-notch pitch-shifting effects that gave the Ultra-Harmonizer its name. You get rich reverbs; a full range of chorus, phaser, flanger, and filter — modulation effects; EQ and dynamics processing; ring modulators; vocoders; panners; samplers; distortion effects — the list goes on and on.
There are banks dedicated to specialized production techniques such as mastering, remixing, postproduction, and broadcast collections. You will find audio environments to make your signal sound like it is coming from a walkie-talkie, a bullhorn, or a TV in the next room; sound effects to simulate everything from scratchy records to UFOs and mortar shells; and advanced pitch manglers to make you sound like an evil alien or a cartoon character. The H7600's range of resources is so extensive and compelling that no matter how long I worked with it, I felt I'd barely scratched the surface. Here are just a few highlights.
Eventide's famous pitch-shifting engine is used in many of the most exciting presets. Effects range from micro-pitch-shifting to add thickening (an effect heard on countless records) to precision shifting for correcting tuning errors to completely wild special effects that can morph a voice into a different age, gender, or species. You can even turn a single voice into a whispering crowd. The UltraShifter is Eventide's most advanced formant--correcting pitch-shifter. As you would expect, the H7600 Ultra-Harmonizer is capable of a full range of chromatic, diatonic, and custom scales (see Web Clip 1).
I was also immediately drawn to some of the extreme vowel-like wah filter presets, such as Kill The Guy and Mouth-a-lator Two. These patches allow you to specify filter-sweep parameters as vowel sounds using onscreen phoneme choices. This is filter modulation taken to a whole new level (see Web Clip 2).
I loved the liquid textures found in multi-effects patches such as Easternizer and the haunting motion of patches like Flange Echoes. Others that caught my ear were Hiccup Chorus, which fuses eight chorusing delays into a stuttering tremolo effect, Stratospherics, which provides strange modulated delay oscillations, and ReverseTetra, which bathes your signal in four reversed shifters. Even old-standby effects like flanging are far from ordinary in the H7600. Drew's Throatflange took my everyday synth pad and gave it a business-class seat on the next flight to Mars (see Web Clip 3).
Himalayan Heights is an excellent example of the many sound effects available. It uses noise generators sprinkled with bell-like tones to sculpt a windy Tibetan landscape. Ghosties will summon spirits from a haunted chamber. Other patches seem to have minds of their own. Feed Genesis II a few guitar notes, and watch it warp them into an entire atmosphere of crystal orbs and Frippertronic-style pad washes (see Web Clip 4).
The H7600 is one serious signal-processing machine, with a price tag one decimal place to the right of all but the most serious professional budgets. A lot has changed since the days of the first Harmonizers, and you do have to consider how time-honored hardware boxes fit into today's software-dominated world. But a software--leveled playing field makes it all the more important for the pro studio to reach for that extra edge. Eventide continues to fill that niche. The H7600 is a powerful and imaginative audio toolbox that can add subtle sparkle and sheen to any project as well as produce mind-blowing multi-effects that send your signal to another galaxy.

PROS: Powerful multi-effects of supreme quality and exceptional character. Search function greatly aids preset navigation. Hundreds of evocative and truly useful presets.
CONS: Editor software is powerful but not user friendly. Expensive.

What to See and What to Skip in Wyoming
Wyoming draws travelers for the Western culture and history it embodies.
April 22, 2013, 2013 -- Wyoming draws travelers for the Western culture and history it embodies. And then there are those National Parks: Yellowstone, which is home to 75 percent of the world's geysers (including Old Faithful) and Grand Teton, an ecological marvel that's home to trails and famous Snake River. (A $25 vehicle pass gets you 7-day entry to both.) But your travel plans shouldn't stop there, since a bevy of other fascinating attractions also call this state home. Here are a few.
Visit Devils Tower, Not Just the Parks
Yellowstone is the nation's very first national park. But there's another first in them 'thar hills: Devils Tower, our country's first national monument. Towering 1200 feet above Wyoming's eastern plains, it's a massive volcanic rock formation with a unique flat top. There are eight miles of natural trails, including a paved 1.5-mile loop; there are also ranger-led tours, and climbing the colossal rock is allowed year-round, except for June. You can also boat nearby Keyhole Reservoir's 14,000 acres or fish for walleye and catfish along Belle Fourche River.
Hit the Road, Get Off Your Horse
True, the cowboys whose lore is alive and well here did not hit the road on four wheels. But your favorite ride can take you down a bevy of scenic backcountry drives, allowing you to take in this state's boundless miles of natural beauty. Beartooth Scenic Byway, Wyoming's highest paved highway cresting at 11,000 feet, is legendary for its spectacular views. And the Bighorn Scenic Byway, which runs some 60 miles over the Big Horn Mountains, takes you through forests, meadows and canyons. While breathtaking, these drives can be desolate, so pack and plan accordingly (as in, bring a spare tire).
Sleep in a Teepee, Skip the Hotel Room
Wyoming offers a chance to rest your head in digs that go well beyond your average hotel room. Dude ranches reign supreme here, like Paradise Guest Ranch in Buffalo, where you can book weeklong all-inclusive stays during the summer. Also, cabins can be luxurious; at Fireside Resort in Wilson, they come with deluxe kitchens, private decks, goose-down pillows and flat screen TVs. And then there's a teepee; Sands Whitewater in Jackson Hole leads 16-mile overnight whitewater treks out of Pine Bar campsite, where you sleep by the river and on cots inside brand new teepees.
Dress the Part, Be a Cowboy
After you catch a rodeo in Cheyenne, you'll be inspired to at least dress the part. The Wrangler features a huge space – some 13,000 square feet – replete with quintessential cowboy duds. Leather boots and matching double barrel hat, anyone? Swim in a Spring, Skip the Resort Pool
Natural hot springs are a big attraction in Wyoming; even warring tribes of Native Americans would soak in them side by side to take advantage of their purported healing properties. Spots like Hot Springs Park and the town of Saratoga draw steady crowds. But for more of a wilderness feel, consider a dip at Granite Hot Springs, just south of Yellowstone and Grand Teton, where a seven-foot-deep natural pool stays at a steamy 104 degrees; you can camp here in summer but need to be versed in snowshoes or skis to access it in winter.
Go Prehistoric, Put the Present on Hold
Dinosaur bones don't make for a tourist draw just anywhere. But Como Bluff, a long ridge near the town of Medicine Bow, is home to a wide variety of prehistoric remains. We're talking thousands of well-preserved dinosaur fossils dating back 100 to 200 million years.
Get a Hide, Leave Your Sweater at Home
The wares at Merlin's Hide Out in Thermopolis are a throwback to a centuries-old, rustic tradition where warmth came from the hides of wild animals. Here, you can shop for an amazing array of expertly tanned pelts: buffalo, beaver, fox, skunk and badger, to name a few. There are accessories like hats, purses and blankets, too; a mounted buffalo head will cost you a little over $3,000.
Go to Prison, But Don't Stay Long
The infamous Butch Cassidy was among the inmates housed at Wyoming Territorial Prison in Laramie, which operated in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It's now a State Historic Site and a museum. Among the exhibits is the Broom Factory, where prison labor produced more than 700 brooms a day, which were then shipped to neighboring states and as far away as Japan. Admission is $5.
Visit a Ghost Town, Leave Today Behind
Wyoming is home to several ghost towns, abandoned frontier settlements that pioneers once called home and that now offer a fascinating glimpse into Old West life. South Pass City was home to miners after gold was discovered in the mid- 1800s, and today it features several authentically restored buildings. And Piedmont was a once-thriving timber town that now is home to old home foundations and cemeteries; legend has it that Butch Cassidy buried gold somewhere in this town.

Tidy, small and well made. Bright little 'be seen' light. Bright and multiple modes available. good value.
Love these small lights. I purchased one for myself, one for my partner and one for a mate. Very versatile and effective.
Handy light that fits pretty much anywhere. The light is to be seen only, you can't see much from the light projected, which is fine for most urban riding.
Great wee lights, reasonably priced, simple and stylish, about to buy a 2nd front light, think they'll look good paired up!
Great wee lights that are effective, reliable and look good !
Great light for the money, easy fit and easy on off option. Light weight and the just tap option to change flash settings works well.
my recent review "Unreliable" was submitted in error - the Femto Front Drive light is a thoroughly adequate product - I was unable to make it work at first - then figured it out - I have asked PBK to remove my earlier review. With apologies to all, EB
Bought these as a simple and small back up light to keep in my bag. Long life batteries provided, simple on / off switch and easy no tool fitting to bars or helmet.

16 oz low fat sour cream
4 medium to large cucumbers, sliced or diced
3 tablespoons thyme, minced
1 teaspoon celery seed
3 bulbs of green onions OR 1 small onion, minced
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Cover tightly and refrigerate 1 hour to 1 day before serving. The cucumbers might release some moisture-this is okay, it thins out the thick sour cream-just stir it back in if it separates overnight.
*I like to leave my cucumber chunky, but I know some like it thinly sliced in salads. Either way would work.

Here is the link of the grim, shameful news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22151212
World-renowned Turkish pianist Fazil Say has been given a suspended 10-month jail sentence for insulting Muslim values.
An Istanbul court found Say guilty over a series of posts on the social networking site Twitter.
Say was not in court for the sentencing. But he denied the charges, saying they were politically motivated.
The case renewed concern about the influence of religion on politics in Turkey.
Pointing to the prosecution of several artists and intellectuals for voicing their views, critics have accused the governing AK Party of undermining Turkey's secular values and pandering to Islamists.
Prosecutors had brought the charges against Mr Say last June. He could have faced a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison.
The indictment against him cited some tweets, including a retweet by Mr Say which says: "I am not sure if you have also realised it, but if there's a louse, a non-entity, a lowlife, a thief or a fool, it's always an Allah-ist."
Mr Say has previously said he was "amazed" at the charges.
Mr Say, 43, has played with the New York Philharmonic, the Berlin Symphony Orchestra and others, and has served as a cultural ambassador for the EU.

10 monthes in jail for a "retweet" .. i wonder what would have happened if he actually wrote it
Shameful indeed. Surprising? No.
It's great to see how Turkey is moving forward into the abyss.
What on the Earth makes you feel great to see how Turkey is moving forward into the abyss ???
I'm 99.999999% confident Dr Grixis was exercising sarcasm.
I hope for his sake they have a piano in that prison..Listen to pure beauty
Well, I'm sure they have lots of Muslim inmates who'd wanna play the piano on his ribs for questioning Islam.
Oh that is good, it is a suspended jail term. I wonder if he will try to emmigrate away from Turkey at some point?
He shouldn't have to, Robert - I can't count all of the theists groups who would love to see all atheists leave America so they can have it all to themselves, but we should all have the right to believe or not believe, as we choose, wherever we are.
I agree with you there, but Turkey is a total shithole even if you ignore the creeping theocracy. The uncivilized masses and jingoists are the majority. Best to evacuate the proper people and then unleash some super-virus on the rest.
k, you're scaring me - you're starting to sound like American CIA!
He plays with such feeling - thank you for that, Robert.

Earlier this month, I travelled to London, England for the BlackBerry Experience Forum. This enterprise-focused roadshow has been travelling around the globe, with recent stops in Dubai, Paris, Australia and Frankfurt. I interviewed some of our enterprise developers and partners who have been showcasing their incredible apps at these events. Throughout my time talking to the developers and partners, I learned that many felt the chance to connect with so many global customers in the partner showcase was a very unique opportunity. Many of the developers and partners travelled together to each location which provided them an opportunity to not only see the world through the eyes of BlackBerry customers, but also network with other global developers and partners to share their BlackBerry success stories.

Enterprise developers have embraced the new BlackBerry 10 platform – in fact, we recently announced that BlackBerry 10 now offers more than 100,000 applications. Amazon Kindle, OpenTable and The Wall Street Journal are available to BlackBerry 10 customers and in the coming weeks CNN, The Daily Show Headlines, eBay, eMusic, Maxim, MLB at Bat, MTV News, Pageonce, PGA, Rdio, Skype, SoundHound and Viber will be available for download or purchase.
At the BlackBerry Experience Forum, companies like SAP, Citrix, IBM and CISCO and many more, were in attendance to connect with many of the enterprise business leaders and IT decision-makers to showcase how their powerful apps can enable business innovations and empower mobile employees.
According to Adam Linford from Truphone, "If you are a mobile application developer and you're looking to bring BlackBerry 10 into your existing portfolio, it's so cheap and easy to add." Adam also remarked that, "BlackBerry made some very sensible decisions in adopting technologies that are known – you are building on the shoulder of giants, a lot of the work is already done."
Howard Travers from the Formicary Collaboration Group commented, "We're pleased to work with the BlackBerry 10 application – we see it as a next step and evolution of mobile collaboration." When asked about how the BlackBerry 10 platform enables enterprise customers to balance both work and personal data, Howard stated, "One of the biggest asks of all our top customers around the globe is the separation of personal and business. The fact that BlackBerry has now been able to merge the two is a great step forward."
The BlackBerry 10 platform has empowered global businesses to embrace enterprise applications that enhance productivity, increase collaboration and connect their mobile employees with the important resources they need on the road.

How Hypnosis Helps
When you think of hypnosis or hypnotherapy, what may first come to mind are stage hypnotists.
You've seen it before – these are people who take volunteers from the audience, hypnotize them, and give them suggestions to quack like a duck, act drunk, or laugh hysterically.
That is truly an act. Working with a psychotherapist who has been trained in clinical hypnosis to help people like you is an entirely different experience....continue reading »

Thank you, Thank you
With this award goes the responsibility of naming 10 things that make me happy. Shouldn't be too hard - the hard part will be stopping at 10! Here we go, not in any particular order:
1) Getting a few minutes' peace and quiet to post to my blogs.
2) Watching my energetic little Tori so happy she breaks out in dance while she sings "Oh yeah!!"
3) Getting a genealogy goodie in the mail.
4) Working on my websites and getting HappyGrams from people who have found useful stuff.
5) Seeing my little Alyssa's face light up with a big fat smile when she sees her Grammy.
6) Getting a few minutes' peace and quiet to huddle up with my Bible and ponder what it has to offer.
7) Hitting the snooze alarm as many times as I want.
8) Watching my sweet Sierra with tears in her eyes at her gr-gr-gr-grandparents' graves, and seeing the love she has for people she never knew, but feels so much a part of.
9) Reading fun, insightful, newsy and touching blog posts, and getting to know new friends.
10) Seeing my husband's eyes sparkle when he laughs.
There you go. Now, I'm going to pass it on to 10 (again, hard to stop at just 10!) of my favorite bloggers, who haven't already received it:

Credit is your ability to borrow money (or get something now and pay later). You're probably familiar with the concept when it comes to your personal credit scores, but credit for your business is separate from your personal credit – at least it should be..A strong business credit profile doesn't just help you secure a loan; it's also important for attracting new business. Unlike with personal credit reports, anyone — including potential customers, partners and suppliers — can look at your business credit report. Those parties look at your report as an employer would an individual's resume. How to build business credit . Keep your information current with all three credit bureaus. There are several credit bureaus that collect data and create business credit scores. Establish trade lines with your suppliers.If you buy supplies, ingredients or other materials from third-party vendors, those purchases could help build your business credit. Many suppliers extend trade credit, which means they allow you to pay several days or weeks after you receive the inventory. Make payments to creditors on time or early. Although each credit bureau uses slightly different methods of crunching business credit scores, all of them consider your history of paying creditors. To ensure a good score, make sure your payments are on time or, even better, early. Borrow from lenders that report to credit bureaus. Keep your public records clean. Mind your personal credit rating. Apply for credit before you need it. Grow your credit and use it. Forge relationships with more than one lender. Remember that traditional banks are not your only shot at credit, Wright says. There are a growing number of other options, such as securing investors, like Deutschmann did. Other resources include asset-based lenders, which focus more on collateral rather than credit worthiness, factoring -- which lets you borrow against your accounts receivables.Keep things separate, Better terms, Better financing, Increased sales.

The term is generally used to describe data centers available to many users over the Internet. Large clouds, predominant today, often have functions distributed over multiple locations from central servers. If the connection to the user is relatively close, it may be designated an edge server. Clouds may be limited to a single organization (enterprise clouds), be available to many organizations (public cloud), or a combination of both (hybrid cloud).Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale. Advocates of public and hybrid clouds note that cloud computing allows companies to avoid or minimize up-front IT infrastructure costs. Proponents also claim that cloud computing allows enterprises to get their applications up and running faster, with improved manageability and less maintenance, and that it enables IT teams to more rapidly adjust resources to meet fluctuating and unpredictable demand.Cloud providers typically use a "pay-as-you-go" model, which can lead to unexpected operating expenses if administrators are not familiarized with cloud-pricing models. In the simplest terms, cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive. The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet. ... The cloud is also not about having a dedicated network attached storage (NAS) hardware or server in residence. Python and java are best languages to use for cloud computing.Cost.

Supplied without tap holes but can easily be drilled on site by your plumber.
Should be fitted with a standard concealed waste kit.
The cost of painting your bath starts at about £200. To find out the cost for a particular bath find the bath in question on the site and from the "Finish" drop down box select "Farrow and Ball Painted Exterior". The price will change to show the price of the bath when painted. If you want your bath painted with a brand other than Farrow and Ball then except in exceptional cases the price will be the same.
This backgound colour approximates to Farrow and Ball Rectory Red, No. 217.
The easiest way is the old fashioned way, ring us on 0113 2360214 and we can take your order over the phone. Alternatively just place the order on the website choosing the 'painted exterior' finish option and we will contact you within 24 hours to take your choice of colour and arrange a delivery day.

No money will be taken from your card until we have contacted you and confirmed all the details of your order.
All of our baths can be painted. So all of our acrylic baths, stone cast baths, fibre glass and gel-coat baths can all be painted. The exterior only of the bath is painted, the interior and top edge of the bath are left unpainted. Where baths have feet the feet can also be painted if required, either in the same colour as the bath or a different colour (see next question below for more details of that).
Usually the lead time for a painted bath is between 2 and 4 weeks. In cases of great urgency (which are many) we can often be quicker than this and we will do out best to meet any deadlines you have.
This backgound colour approximates to Farrow and Ball StiffKey Blue No. 281.
We know our paint, and what we don't know we can find out. So the short answer is we can use all (paints) and any (colours) as long as they suitable.. The most popular brands of paint we are asked to use are Farrow and Ball , Little Greene , Fired Earth and Paint and Paper Library - over 700 colours to choose from between them.
We can also paint any RAL Colour including metallic finishes. and we can match colours (using a spectroscope) to any sample you can supply.
We generally use a matt eggshell finish which is knock-resistant and washable and performs well in a domestic bathroom but we can use gloss, and other suitable finishes. If you have a particular requirement not mentioned here call or email us and we will help you get what you want.
This backgound colour approximates to Farrow and Ball Off Black No. 57.
All the bath feet supplied with our baths can be painted.
If you would like your bath feet painted please ring us on 0113 2360214 or email us for prices.
Some manufacturers, such as Burlington, supply their bath feet in paintable finishes onto which we can prime and paint directly.
Other manufacturers, such as Royce Morgan, supply their bath feet in chrome only. In these cases we cannot paint directly onto the surface with wet paint (like Farrow and Ball) as the paint would just run off. So instead we powder coat them first and then paint on top of that.
Powder coating is a process which paints using a dry powder that sticks to the surface of the metal which is then baked in an oven. It is great on its own as a final finish for matt black or matt white feet but it also provides a stable surface onto which we can paint with Farrow and Ball or other suitable paints.
These differences in how we have to go about painting one kind of bath foot and another account for the different prices for painting some bath feet rather than others.
This backgound colour approximates to Farrow and Ball Lulworth Blue No. 89.
Don't Rely on Computer Colours: The main issue when it comes to choosing a paint colour is to get an accurate idea of how the paint will look when its on your bath. The worst way of doing this is to just use the colour as shown on a computer screen as a guide. The way in which colours are specified for computing, whilst covering a very large number of different Red-Blue-Green combinations, cannot capture the richness of the wavelengths reflected by quality paints such as Farrow and Ball. In addition different computer screens will render colours quite differently.
Use a colour swatch or colour card instead: A far better way to start is with a colour swatch or colour card from the manufacturers. We keep Farrow and Ball swatches so ring us for one if you need one, or you can order one directly from the Farrow and Ball website, likewise for other manufacturers. Typically a swatch or colour card will show you each colour accurately reproduced on an area about 1 or 2 sq.cm. be aware that when the colour is on a larger area whatever qualities it seems to have on a small area will be more impact-full. Light colours will look lighter. Deep, dark colours will look deeper and darker.
Get Sample Pots: So the next stage if you really want to work hard making your decision is to order sample pots of paint from the manufacturers, these can be bought directly from the manufacturer at low cost. Once you have your sample pot, paint a piece of card or paper of at least A4 size (the bigger the better) with it and look at it in your bathroom under the various lighting conditions that you will have in there. This will give you a really accurate understanding of what kind of experience your chosen colour will give you.
If you need any help or advice don't hesitate to ring us on 0113 2360214 or email us.
Or use our painted baths page to help you choose.
This backgound colour approximates to Farrow and Ball Manor House Gray No. 265.
We generally paint using a matt eggshell finish. This is the same kind of finish you might use on skirting boards, window boards or interior doors so it is washable, knock-resistant and relatively hard-wearing. It will last in the same way and withstand similar usage to the same paint on your doors and skirting boards. So with care you can expect it to last 10 years or more.
This backgound colour approximates to Farrow and Ball Babouche No. 223.
If you get dirty marks on the surface of the paint use a soft damp cloth - a damp microfibre cloth is by far the best kind to use - be as gentle as you can but you can be quite robust with it if you need to be and this will remove most marks.
If your bath gets scratched or scuffed ring us for advice on 0113 2360214. Sometimes its possible to fix a scuff by careful use of a solvent such as t-cut, at other times the best way is to use a small atomiser to respray the affected area. If you need this we can send you a suitable atomiser pre-loaded with paint and tell you exactly how to do it. Paint is generally easy to fix.
This background colour approximates to Farrow and Nancy's Blushes No. 278.
First the surface of the bath is prepared.
This means rubbing the bath down to provide a key for the primer, during this phase tiny faults that can't be seen on a gloss white surface but that can be seen when the surface is painted with a matt finish are filled and corrected.
The bath is then expertly sprayed with two coats of primer. The second primer coat is then matted down - that is, it is rubbed down all over with fine abrasive paper by hand to provide a fine and even surface.
The bath is then sprayed with two top coats, matted down for a second time and then sprayed with a third and final topcoat to give an unsurpassed finish.
Smaller Items: For smaller items that can be sent by UPS or Fedex the cost of shipping starts at about £10 and goes up from there. Shipping quotes can be given for any orders of smaller items to most parts of the world.
Baths and Larger Items: The cost of bath deliveries varies greatly across the EU and not always how you might expect. The price for shipping a bath to a mainland address varies from about £90 to about £300. To get a rough idea have a look at the lists of example prices on the overseas shipping page , but to get a more accurate price email us your country and postcode (or full address if the Republic of Ireland) and we will send you a quote in just a few short hours. Or use our overseas shipping quote form:
Get An Overseas Shipping Estimate
First get a shipping quote from us: To make an order that is to be shipped overseas ring us on 0113 2360214 or email us with the contents or approximate contents of your order and the country and postcode to where delivery is to made. We will then be able to get you a shipping quote and approximate lead time.
Then place your order: Once we have that we can take your order over the phone or we can give you a special product code to select your correct delivery cost online and place your order on the website.
We can ship to all European countries and to most mainland European addresses including non-EU countries like Switzerland.
The main restriction to addresses that we can ship to in these countries are accessibility for the large articulated lorries on which our palletised overseas deliveries are made. If you have a doubts contact us with your address and we will let you know if we can delivery to you.
We deliver to most of Europe in 10 to 15 working days, For western Europe we may be much quicker and for some eastern european countries it may take a little longer.
For smaller items such as taps and metal shower parts we usually ship by UPS and once dispatched from us we email you a tracking link where you can follow its progress on either a next day or 2 to 5 day delivery.
For larger and heavier consignments including baths, WC's, basins etc. we ship overseas on pallets. Delivery is by a large articulated lorry to the nearest public access point that is accessible. The local carriers who do the last leg of the delivery will ring you in advance to book in the delivery for a specific day. You need enough person power to move your delivery into your property. We keep an eye on the whole process to make sure you get a quality service every step of the way and we are constantly available to answer any queries you have.
Can you ship baths to Mediterranean Islands, for example Ibiza or Skopelos, how much does it cost and how long does it take?
The short story is yes we can, it can cost up to double what similar onshore deliveries may cost and take an extra 5 to 7 days than would an equivalent mainland delivery. The longer story is that for some of our least expensive baths where the profit level in the bath is low then way may decline shipments where the cost of shipping is very high. We have to have a reasonable ratio between the profit in the sale and the cost of shipping. Ring us on 0113 2360214 or email us with your details and we can confirm if we can do it and get you a quote.
Yes, this is no problem, you will not have to pay UK VAT but you may have to pay local import taxes, however this is easily done and we can advise on all matters relating to this kind of thing.
I am in a rugged, mountainous area served by narrow, treacherous roads that only goats and trained mules can navigate, can you deliver a bath to me?
Our overseas bath and ceramics deliveries are made by large articulated lorries so the answer I'm afraid is no. Maybe in 20 years drone technology will have advanced to the point where you can have your bath delivered same day, but not yet. Whilst we wait for that glorious day perhaps we can find a local business who can take delivery on your behalf and who your builders/plumbers can then collect from?
I am buying a cooker/sofa/fridge/tiles/other-large-item(s) from another UK Store? I need to get that shipped overseas too, can you help?
We can usually help with things like this. Contact us on 0113 2360214 or at email@example.com with details to find out.
If you are a private citizen in the EU then you must pay UK VAT when buying from the UK. If you are buying on behalf of a VAT registered EU company then supply us with your company details and VAT number and you the do not have to pay VAT.
If you are outside of the EU including Switzerland then you do not have to pay UK VAT, so to find the price you will pay divide the price shown on the website by 1.2. For example, if an item costs £100 on the web site, you will pay 100/1.2 = £83.33. You may have to pay an import customs duty when the item is delivered to you and this will depend on your local national tax laws. We can help with any queries you have about this or anything else to do with shipments outside of the EU.
For most mainland UK deliveries orders under £400 in value are charged at £10 and for orders over £400 delivery is free.
No money is taken from your card until we know we can deliver to you: If you order a WC to be sent to the Orkneys there may be an extra charge, in cases like this we will contact you before completing processing your payment.
If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to ring us on 0113 2360214 or email us.
We Arrange a Delivery Schedule: We will contact you within 1 working day with a delivery schedule. For smaller orders (e.g. taps and waste kits) we will also email you a tracking link the day before delivery and for larger orders (baths, basins, WCs) we will ring you the day before delivery with an approximate delivery time.
We Get More Info if required: If your order includes a painted bath, painted basin or item of painted furniture we will contact you within 1 working day to confirm your chosen colour(s). We will not charge your card until we have confirmed your chosen paint colour.
We Expertly Check your Order: Our expert staff will check all the items in your order for compatibility and completeness. If we believe you may have ordered incompatible products, missed vital items out or included items that you may not need we will contact you to ensure we get your order right.
We Charge Your Card: Only when all the details of your order are confirmed will we charge your card and then email you an invoice/receipt.
If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to ring us on 0113 2360214 or email us.
The usual delivery time is about 3 to 5 working days for smaller items (e.g. taps, showers) and approximately 5 to 10 working days for larger orders (e.g. WCs, baths). For larger items once we know your postal area we can give you a choice of specific delivery days. If its urgent we can often deliver much more quickly, including with next day or 48 hour deliveries.
How long will my order take if I have items that are being customised for me, e.g. a painted bath or brushed nickel tap?
If your order includes a painted bath or nickel plated or bnrushed nickel tap this may add between 5 and 10 working days to your delivery timescale. Ring or email to ask for the latest lead times.
Our usual carriers deliver with a luton van or large transit van so they will get down most of the roads or lanes that a large car can get down.
For smaller items sent by UPS or royal mail you will get a tracking link but not a delivery time.
For deliveries of larger items with our usual carriers you get an approximate delivery time the working day before the delivery occurs, we can also have them ring you on the day when they are a short distance from you. If you need this add a note to your order in the checkout or ring us on 0113 2360214 or email us and let us know what you need.
