Initially many people, including ourselves, didn't know what to expect from a same sex commitment ceremony. However, Ellen was so professional and delivered our ceremony with such respect, humour and eloquence. She put everyone at ease from the beginning and took us all on a journey rather than just any old traditional ceremony you've seen so many times before. It was inclusive of the youngest newborn guest to our ninety year old grandparents. Ellen created the most beautiful and original ceremony that told our story as individuals, a couple and as a family. It was so unique to us that it could never be used for any other couple. All of our friends and family commented on what an amazing experience it was and some even thought it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever been a part of. Even months after our big day we still have so many people comment about the ceremony. This is a testament to Ellen as a celebrant and there really are no words that can truly describe her ability in this role. We would highly recommend Ellen to any couple dreaming of a truly magical day.

As a proud member of Melbourne's queer community, you can be sure that your relationship and your commitment ceremony will be treated with total dedication and every bit of respect it deserves. I will work with you and your partner to create an unforgettable ceremony that says everything you want it to about your love and the uniqueness of your relationship.
Finding the person you feel you want to make a commitment to is no small feat, indeed, it is a magnificent achievement. So expressing that love in public is to be taken very seriously. To solidify a great partnership with a beautiful ceremony in the presence of your friends and family, will be one of the greatest moments in your life. While our partnerships cannot yet be legally recognised in Australia in the form of marriage, through a meaningful, personalised ceremony, you can express the depth of the value of your relationship and make a public commitment of real significance.
Whether you've been together 10 months or 10 years, this public display of your love becomes a significant juncture, a moment of renewal, a symbolic beginning for the rest of your life together. I will do everything in my power to work with you so that this ceremony reflects you and your passion for each other.
How I Work
To do this well I need to start to get to know you, and find out just what your dreams are for your special day. From our meetings, I will begin to get an impression of who you are as individuals and as a couple, and discuss at length your ideas and visions for your commitment ceremony.
I hold an extensive library of resource material and will do whatever it takes to find that special ritual or reading which really says what you want to say. If it happens that you're a couple who need a bit of guidance in coming up with ideas, I will be there to help you with that as well.
I will then begin the process of writing up your Commitment Ceremony. This will be followed by consultation, feedback and lots of fine-tuning, until it is absolutely perfect for the big day.
A rehearsal is a vital part of making sure all goes smoothly so I will be there to guide you through a well-run rehearsal to iron out any little bumps. Frightened you'll mess up your vows? No problems, we'll have them flowing smoothly. Never used a microphone before? That's ok, I'll show you how it's done. You cannot overestimate just how important a well-run rehearsal is in making the everything run like clockwork when it counts.
As part of my services I will also provide the PA system to ensure the ceremony is presented clearly and audibly so none of your friends or family will miss a word.

Ten years after her daughter was murdered, Sonya Ryan watched on as new laws to protect children from a similar fate cleared federal parliament.
All she could think about was Carly, who was killed in Adelaide in 2007 when, at the age of 15, she met up with a 50-year-old paedophile posing as a teenage boy.
"It's absolutely overwhelming for me to think that she didn't go through all that suffering for nothing," Ms Ryan later told reporters in Canberra.
"That the suffering she endured for hours and hours - I don't even know how long - that there's something good has come out of something so horrendous and cruel."
Senators paid tribute to Ms Ryan as Carly's Law cleared the upper house on Thursday afternoon, thanking her for her work to protect children from cyber predators.
The legislation will make it easier for police to intervene before predators have the chance to act and for online predators to be prosecuted and face 10 years in prison.
It targets predators who prepare or plan to groom children online, including those who lie about their age.
"I think about what Carly would say and I just can't imagine what she'd say to me today, that there's a law in her name to protect children from harm," Ms Ryan said.
"(This law) is a real step in protecting our innocent, vulnerable, beautiful kids that are just trying to connect in an online space.
"They should be able to do so without having to worry about being taken advantage of or hurt or worse by a criminal trying to infiltrate their lives."
South Australian senator Skye Kakoschke-Moore, who pushed for the laws alongside colleague Nick Xenophon, said its success was a testament to Ms Ryan's strength.
"What has happened today boils down to the fact Sonya Ryan - who endured more pain, more loss and more suffering than any mother or parent should have to endure - has campaigned for Carly's Law," she said.
"Thank you Sonya, on behalf of all Australian familes, on behalf of all Australian children."
Senator Xenophon pondered what might have been if the laws were in place sooner.
"If Carly's Law was in place 11 years ago I wonder how many children would have been saved including Carly," he said.
"Because the predator that murdered Carly was communicating with something like 200 children around the world."

Sue, Karin, Kim, Hugh, Mark, Amir, Ray, Bob, Dave L. and Bill E enjoyed an unusually warm, sunny autumn day on Kayuta Lake. With temps near 70, the typical Kayuta Lake garb of winter hats and jackets were left at home or in the car. The forest was filled with the color of the day – red. Dave arrived early to cast a line and hope a fish would bite. Ray, Bob and Hugh came early to get in some extra miles. Last year we noted that the boats had vanished into their winter storage. This year a lot of party boats were still attached to their docks and hoists, and at least 5 passed by us on the water. Some even politely slowed down (ok, maybe one!!) We stopped at the mini beach after viewing the rocks at the low water end of the river. The wind was not bad on the way back and even helped us along near the launch.
The Buffalo Head is still closed, so we picked a new spot: Wayne and Elaine's Alder Creek Inn. It is just a hop, skip and a jump across the highway. Thanks Bob, for the recommendation. The patio seating was perfect and the food was delicious. They had gooood chicken and biscuits, too.

Pandit Chaurasia is star at Warsaw festival
Indian flute maestro Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia steals the limelight at the Warsaw festival, Crossroads of Cultures.india Updated: Sep 15, 2006 14:50 IST
Indian flute maestro Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia stole the limelight at the Warsaw festival, Crossroads of Cultures, with his splendid performance.
The festival is aimed at giving Warsowians an opportunity to commune with art and culture from different parts of the world and to make them realise the strength and value arising from this diversity.
"With this purpose in mind we invited an Indian musician to participate in the festival and are delighted with Chaurasia's wonderful performance," Jacek Gintowski, the artist director of the festival said.
The raga selection by the maestro was apt to the mood of the assembled audience. His short pieces were a sheer delight for the appreciating audience, which comprised mostly young people who till recently were responding only to Bollywood films.
"His performance was so magical that we were in a trance for the whole evening," said Justiyna Franz, an admirer of Indian arts and culture.
"India is now on the Polish radar screen and the echoes of a vibrant India are easily audible in many places in Poland. Chaurasia's performance was very impressive which will prompt the culture-loving Poles to listen to other great maestro from India in the near future," said Indian ambassador Anil Wadhwa.
Full of praise for the organiser's attempt to promote Indian classical music, the maestro said: "I am ready to come again and again to Poland. Last time I came here in 1977 and this new Poland is a great destination for Indian classical artistes."
Chaurasia now spends six months every year in Rotterdam, Holland, where he has set up his own music academy so as to spread Indian music abroad.
"I am very hopeful about my students. Both Indians and westerners are very dedicated towards their education. I am proud to be their teacher and keen to include Polish students if they are willing to learn from me", he said to the delight of the adoring audience.

What is the structure of H_*(LBG)?
The original answer, due to Chataur and Menichi, is that it is part of a
"homological conformal field theory", which is an algebraic structure
governed by surfaces and their diffeomorphisms. A more recent answer, due
to Hepworth and Lahtinen, is that it is part of an "h-graph field theory"
where the surfaces and diffeomorphisms are replaced by much looser
homotopy-theoretical versions. With this in hand, it's natural to ask:
What is the use of such a field theory structure?
Lahtinen has used it to construct (many) non-zero classes in the homology
of groups such as the "holomorph" Aut(F_n)-semidirect-F_n and the affine
linear groups Z^n-semidirect-GL_n(Z). These groups are well understood in
a certain "stable range", but the classes constructed all lie in the
mysterious unstable part.
The first two lectures will discuss the h-graph field theory structure:
what such a theory is, how to construct the one that appears in string
topology, and how to do computations. The third lecture will then explain
how to use the theory to construct nonzero classes in the homology of the
holomorph and affine linear group.
Some references (the first should be particularly accessible):

Productive performance of blackberry cultivars in altitude region
2017-11-01T09:26:26Z (GMT) by

ABSTRACT: Information on the production performance of blackberry in less colder regions are fundamentals to the expansion of the cultivated area and extension of management practices for cultivars adapted to climate conditions in Brazil. The research was carried out with the aim to evaluate the productive performance of different blackberries cultivars in altitude region of 1,387m with mild temperatures, situate at 18º14'56"S, 43º36'0"W, in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. It was carried during the seasons 2013/2014, 2014/2015 and 2015/2016. The blackberry cultivars evaluated were the following ones 'Brazos', 'Guarani', 'Tupy' and 'Xavante'. Flowering and harvesting of cultivars were evaluated as well as climatological data of the area in order to relate the number of hours of accumulated cold less than 13°C, 10°C and 7.2°C with production and crop time. To determine the production, the mass of blackberries harvested per plant was measured. Production of blackberry cultivars was extended in altitude region with similar productivity to the other producing regions in Brazil. Productive performance of the cultivars varied according to the accumulation of cold hours with mild temperatures that occurred in cultivation region. 'Brazos', 'Guarani', 'Tupy' and 'Xavante' showed good adaptation, being 'Brazos' the cultivar most productive.

I saw Disney Pixar's Brave today.
It was very well done. It was very good to see that Disney has finally mustered up the guts to take a stand on exceeding social norms. The female protagonist was an independent, untamable woman with a fighting spirit - which is what most of us females are in this day and age, anyway. The movie had absolutely no male love interests, but it didn't feel like anything was missing. It worked perfectly fine without the aspect of romance.
I'm definitely not hating on romance, however. I just appreciate when it's done right :)
Which gets me thinking about the romance in my own novel. I'm planning on it being - different, and hopefully it will allow the reader to be different too. I'm getting mixed reviews in terms of advice, but I still want to go for it. At the very least, it's not going to be a prominent part of the plot, so even if it seems strange to the reader, they won't have to worry about focusing on it.
Let's hope all goes well with that.
Oy vey.

Looking for a job you love can be just like looking for someone to love. In both situations you want to feel respected, appreciated, and fulfilled.
You may get lucky and find the right opportunities the old fashioned way- through mutual acquaintances, chance, or by participating in activities that interest you.
You can increase your odds of success by cultivating an attractive online presence that lets others know who you are and what you want.
As a career coach and life coach specializing in transitions, I always recommend that my clients search for job keywords and descriptions to find compatible career opportunities.
It can be just as important to actively participate on sites like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook.
Social media has become a vital tool for building professional networks and you shouldn't let your shyness deter you from making valuable connections.
Common reasons people avoid social media are that they:
I recently read a great article on the Harvard Business Review blog discussing just this. Dorie Clark's article, "Shy of the Social Media Spotlight? Get Over it" addresses these concerns. She understands that people new to social media may worry that their initial online presence will be scrutinized and critiqued,
If you want to find the career of your dreams, don't be shy. You've got to get out there and let recruiters and employers see what you have to offer.

Samba Configuration Guide
Samba is provides through the smbd, nmbd, and smbclient
yum -y install samba samba-common samba-client
chkconfig smb on
samba utilizes ports 445, 137, 138, and 139 unless forced to only use TCP 445 in the config (netbio,microsoft-ds in /etc/services)
configuration files are in /etc/samba/... but smb.conf is the main config file
system-config-samba and testparm are great tools to assist with samba config and validating syntax
testparm -v will show all parameters
tesparm /etc/samba/smb.conf host1.sysxperts.com 10.1.4.66 # test access from host
samba-swat is a web based configuration tool that may be installed as well - default url is http://localhost:901; however, editing configuration manually is recommended and backing up smb.conf before opening with swat is critical since it removes all comments!!!!!
File and Directory Sharing
shares should have their own [] section i.e.
comment = Paul's home directory
path = /home/pvalentino
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
comment = Data
path = /work/data
public = no
write list = @itproject
create mask = 0660
path=directory to share
public = can be read by guest
browsable = visible in browse lists
writable = rw enabled
printable = is a printer and not a disk
group = all connections use group as primary group
write list = group with rw permissions
create mask = permissions all files will be created with
If Paul wanted rw for test group and ro for everyone else we'd change
writable = no
write list = @test
Example connection to data share:
smbclient //server/data -U user
All printers in /etc/cups/printers.conf are shared by default
comment = All printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browsable = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
for a specific printer you would add:
printer = name of cups queue
path = /var/spool/location - spool jobs
To change from cups you need to modify the printing = parameter in the [global] section
Default authentication method is user but other valid methods include:
- domain/server - workgroup
- ads - Active Directory Member
- share - per share access
user requires setting up smbpasswd and possibly smbusers if you wish to map usernames
smbpasswd -a pvalentino #pvalentino must already exist in /etc/passwd and one smbpasswd is used all password changes are managed with smbpasswd
tdbdump can be used to view /etc/samba/passdb.tdb since it is a binary file
domain/server requires
workgroup = name of workgroup
encrypt passwords = yes
password server = server1 server2 server3
ads requires:
realm = your.kerberos.realm
password server = your.kerberos.server (typically your AD Domain controllers)
and you must join the domain with
net ads join -U Adminuser and supplying the domain admin account password
smbclient -L hostname # view shared services
like FTP:
smbclient //server/service
cd /dir
get file
nmblookup -U WINS_Server -R name # list specific
nmblookup \* # list all
Checking SELinux
semanage fcontext -l |grep samba #check policy file to determine if samba is selinux aware
getsebool -a |grep samba #check for the booleans
To permit access to user home directories:
setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs on
IPTABLES for Samba
after ESTABLISHED,RELATED entry in /etc/sysconfig/iptables add:
-A FIREWALL-INPUT -s 10.1.4.0/24 -p tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT
and restart iptables:
service iptables restart
Mounting samba shares in /etc/fstab
First create a credentials file in a safe location readable only by root i.e. /etc/samba/cifscredentials with:
Then add all on one line in /etc/fstab:
//servername/sharename /mountpoint cifs credentials=/etc/samba/cifscredentials,uid=unixuser,gid=unixgroup,file_mode=0774,noauto 0 0
uid and gid sets the uid that will own all files on the mounted filesystem. It
may be specified as either a username or a numeric uid. For mounts
to servers which do support the CIFS Unix extensions, such as a
properly configured Samba server, the server provides the uid, gid
and mode so this parameter should not be specified unless the
server and client uid and gid numbering differ.
file_mode provides a form of client side permission checking.
noauto allows the system to boot without prompting for the samba share password.
Mounting samba shares with autofs
In /etc/auto.master add:
/sharename /etc/auto.sharename --timeout=999 #change sharename to appropriate name for top level directory
Every entry added to /etc/auto.sharename will be mounted under /sharename
in /etc/auto.sharename for example add all on one line:
www -fstype=cifs,credentials=/etc/smbmounts/cifscredentials,uid=webmaster,gid=webmaster,file_mode=0774 ://webserver/webdocs\$
This results in a mountpoint /sharename/www which displays content from a server named webserver with a hidden share called webdocs$ to the local machine as if all files are owned by webmaster:webmaster with rwx,rwx,r permissions.
Example of a file upload:
smbclient //server/share -U userid
put /path/to/file

Embassy Suites San Luis Obispo Hotel Announces Toys for Tots Campaign - Plus, Free Tater Tots for All Donors
Showcasing its commitment to the San Luis Obispo community, the Embassy Suites Hotel San Luis Obispo is an official collection site for this holiday season's Toys for Tots drive to collect toys to distribute to children in need.
San Luis Obispo, CA (PRWEB) November 01, 2012
Everyone in the community is encouraged to bring unwrapped toys to the hotel to be donated to Toys for Tots. This is the fourth year the Windsor Capital Group portfolio of hotels is supporting the Marine's Toys for Tots Foundation. All toy donors will receive a coupon for a free order of tater tots at the hotel's restaurant plus everyone is invited to enter the WCG Hotels social media contest!
Showcasing its commitment to the San Luis Obispo community, the Embassy Suites Hotel San Luis Obispo announced today that for the fourth year it is an official collection site for this holiday season's Toys for Tots drive to collect toys to distribute to children in need. Last year the hotel collected more than 100 toys for the local chapter.
The Embassy Suites San Luis Obispo is participating along with 20 other hotels owned or operated by Windsor Capital Group (WCG) and its hotel management company Windsor Management Services.
"The number of children living below the poverty level is now over 16 million; a figure I've never known to be higher," said retired Marine Major Bill Grein, the vice president of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. "In order for us to fulfill the Christmas holiday dreams of as many of these children as possible, we're going to need a lot of individual and corporate support," Grein continued. "Fortunately, we have WCG Hotels back for the fourth year to help us reach these kids."
"Four years ago, our leadership team challenged each of the 21 hotels to submit a charity that we could all support and work with in our local communities," explained Sheri Van Wagenen, Director of Front Office for the Embassy Suites Hotel Seattle/Bellevue. It's great to work for a company like WCG Hotels that values the communities it serves."

I'm having exactly this problem.
Is the solution posted somewhere? When I changed the line WA_simlib.php file:
return (bin2hex (mhash(MHASH_MD5, $data, $key)));
return (bin2hex (hash(MD5, $data, $key)));
I did get a value back in the error message from Chase Paymentech. But when I compared it to the one generated on their online "tool" to verify it, they were different. MD5 is chosen as on the hosting site.

"We believe that 3D printing will become one of the ways to create all objects," Clement Moreau said. "We will have 3D-printed objects inside our home, overall, inside of our cars, everywhere."
Moreau is the CEO of 3D printing service Sculpteo.
A 3D printer does not print with ink; it prints with plastic, building a tall vase, for example, layer by layer.
A 3D printer cost thousands of dollars just a year ago. Today, anyone can afford to print out a vase, or jewelry, or dolls, without owning a machine. You can have it done online. Now ordinary consumers around the world are making everything their own jewelry and action figures.
Moreau's company will send you a finished model of anything you can design in a computer and upload for roughly $50-$250 dollars. It will even help you sell your work online.
"We will take care of the logistics and the 3D printing, and we ship the product," Moreau said.
This week, Sculpteo announced for the first time glazed porcelain models, thanks to a new powdered ingredient.
And you don't need to be an artist. The company has hired world renowned designers to provide models that you can customize online -- say with the photo of a friend. And you can add your own touch -- literally. Because, yes, there's an app for that.
On the other hand, if you prefer to make your objects in your kitchen, Bre Pettis will sell you your own 3D printer for less than $1,700.
"If you have an idea for something," he said, "and you want to have it pop with great colors, and you want to make it really big, about the size of a loaf of bread, get a Replicator, print it out, make it, go big!"
His company MakerBot's new Replicator adds dual color extruders so that you can print multicolored objects for the first time. And bigger objects, with a push-button interface right on the front.
An entire 5-foot tall castle, every piece of furniture in it and every character on it, came out of a Replicator printer. So did this 4-foot rocket with astronauts.

I have been toying around with AMP's backup feature. So far I like the way it looks, but it has left me wanting some features. One of the main things that I would love to see is an integrated auto-backup system other than setting up a scheduled event. Another thing I would really like is the ability to change how much backups are compressed (something along the lines of configuring a target compression ratio.) This would be great for scenarios where multiple servers may be running on a machine and competing for storage.
Thanks, Damien

Last week we wrote about the right activities for tough economic times. One of our points was the need for improved negotiations training with our salespeople. At the risk of repeating myself, Istated:
"….major industrial firms have gone public with their plans to squeeze their supply chain. Some have noticed, they can get additional discounts just by "asking" for them. Customer purchasing types are going to negotiate with our sellers and we need to be prepared. Based on my observations, most distributor salespeople have not received proper negotiations training in recent history."
Last week I attended one of SPASigma's inaugural events called, The Battle for Margin, a two-day seminar developed to assist distributors in growing their gross margins. Much of the seminar revolved around negotiating with buyers.
During one of the breaks, I had the opportunity to speak to several distributor salespeople who candidly shared their experiences with buyers. In a short discussion over a cup of coffee, we came up with the twelve most common comments heard from professional purchasing types. All agreed they had caved into these comments in the past, and swore next time would be different.
Sitting here thinking, most distributor sellers are programmed to please. It's in their DNA. Almost all feel that getting an order is more important than driving gross margin. Yet, gross margin is the life's blood of their companies.
In my thousands of sales calls with distributor people, I have only seen a few who stood their ground when they heard one of these comments. The truth is, most stutter and stumble around on price objections like they were hearing them for the first time.
Purchasing professionals are trained to ask for lower prices. Even the smallest concession is a win. What are you doing to train your guys on the answer to these comments?
Here are a few suggestions:
Potential Answer
Last time it cost less than that…
How long has it been since you purchased this? There have been a lot of cost changes over the past several months/years/decades.
You're close, but this is competitive…
I think this is a pretty fair price. Does our competitor offer all the same features and services?
You're just a little out of the ballpark this time.
We might not actually be the cheapest on every order but our services and quality of product have to be worth something to you.
Can you do any better on this order?
I might be able to do better if you were to place a blanket order for 100 units over the next few months.
Sharpen your pencil a bit and it's yours.
I can't do anything about the price but I could save you money if you were to package in some of the other products you buy.
You're going to need to better than that…
Is there something else I need to know about this particular order? Based on what we have discussed so far, I think we are pretty much at a fair market price.
That's more than I expected to pay…
On what did you base your expectation? Maybe I could find you a lower cost solution by moving you away from the premium product.
That seems expensive.
Gee, that is the competitive price in the market. Am I missing something in your specification?
Your price is too darned high.
What are we high against? Are we making the right comparisons? Should we look at value-engineering some of the features out of the solution?
You're kidding me!
No, this is a good price. Should we talk to your engineering team about a less feature-rich offering?
Do you want to keep our business?
Yes, your business is very important. But I can't sell at a level that costs our company money. Tell me why you feel I seem like I am not serious about your business.
Come back when you get your costs in line.
We benchmark our business against the best in the industry. We provide top-quality service at competitive prices. I want your business so please help me understand why you feel we are out of line cost wise.
Will you occasionally need to adjust your prices downward? Nearly everybody discovers a situation where selling for a lower margin makes sense strategically. But, not every time and not when you are providing the best overall value.
The point of all of this is simple:
We don't need to give away margin just because the customer asked – not in tough times, great times or anywhere in-between.
We don't need to give away margin just because the customer asked – not in tough times, great times or anywhere in-between.
BTW – the SPASigma Seminar rocked.

Xiaomi gained 26 per cent share in the most preferred smartphone brand beating Samsung and Apple
Xiaomi is now the most preferred smartphone brand for Android users looking to buy a new device in 2017, according to a report by research firm Strategy Analytics. The Chinese smartphone maker, which was ranked number one for the first time since its India launch in 2014, has beaten Samsung and Apple. While Xiaomi gained 26 per cent share in the most preferred smartphone brand, Samsung and Apple stand at 12 per cent each.
Interestingly, homegrown player Micromax was the least preferred smartphone brand with only 2 per cent share. Lenovo and Motorola gained 6 per cent and 7 per cent share respectively, while OnePlus stands at 6 per cent. "Micromax as well as Sony, LG, Lenovo and Motorola have cause for concern," the report points out.
Users look for network and processor speed, camera, screen size and resolution as key factors while buying a smartphone.
"The importance of network speed and processor performance to Android smartphone buyers is good news both for operators as they seek LTE customer and chipset vendors looking to migrate the huge base of feature phone users in India," reads the report.
Xiaomi, Apple, Samsung, Android, Xiaomi smartphones, Xiaomi India, Redmi 4, Redmi 4a, Redmi Note 3, Xiaomi most preferred brand, smartphones, technology, technology news
"Xiaomi for the first time since it started operations in the Indian market was ranked among the top three vendors in Q4 2016. The vendor grew a whopping 125% YoY and 17% QoQ and captured 10% of market share in India in the quarter," Rajeev Nair, Senior Analyst said.
Further, Strategy Analytics' Smartphone Model Tracker (SMT) program reveal that four Xiaomi smartphone models feature in vendors' top-20 list. Only 6 per cent potential buyers prefer premium smartphones (above Rs 35,000), while over half of India buyers tend to spend between Rs 15,000-Rs 20,000 on a smartphone; the report notes. This also explains why Xiaomi is doing so well. It's Redmi series in India has managed to combine great specifications at budget pricing, thus boosting its popularity among users.
While Redmi devices have done quite well in India, the same can't be said for its premium offerings. The company claims to have sold over 1 million units of its Redmi Note 4 smartphone in India in 45 days. Other offerings like Redmi Note 3 and Redmi 3S series have done quite well for the company as well.

Hey all. Just throwing up the obligatory introduction thread. I'm currently a sophomore in high school who stumbled upon the site after an offhand reference from reddit and started lurking for a good two or three weeks. Refer to me by whatever you feel comfortable with, I'm not particularly choosy just so long as it involves either the words Mister or Man. I'll very likely be putting out some SCPs in the near future (of course after running it by the community several times beforehand). I've been to the chat and I've already got a sandbox set up so I feel like I'm in pretty good shape.
So yeah. Nice to meet you guys.

Stealing this idea from Ken Black's equivalent post on Tableau (sure he won't mind!).
As we have just had version
10.6 11.3 release think worth publishing a little guide on how to make Alteryx compatible with old versions! This comes up in the community a lot when answering questions and a user doesn't have the latest version of the designer.
There are various different file types Alteryx uses:
|Standard Workflow file
|Macro Workflow (all types)
|Analytic App (wz stands for wizard I believe)
|Workflow Package
|Alteryx Database
The top three are all basically the same format – they are the XML configuration of the workflow. The first section of the XML looks like:
You can also view this within Alteryx Designer in the XML View:
The AlteryxDocument node is the same for Workflows, Macros and Analytic Apps. The yxmdVer attribute is the part of the file which tells Alteryx which version this came from. If you want this file to be able to be opened by and older version you can change the number. The table below gives the version number you need for different Alteryx versions:
|Alteryx Versions
|10, 10.1
|10.5, 10.6
|11.3, 11.5
So what are the risks? Well, Alteryx themselves certainly don't guarantee the format that a tool serializes its configuration from version to version will be consistent – though it normally is. The main issue is that the universe of tools that exist is continually growing and if it can't find the tool the designer will add an unknown tool:
So that's the easy ones. What about packages? These are actually just zip files. If you change the extension to zip you can take a look inside:
It's just a case of updating the files inside the zip and then saving renaming it back to yxzp.
Finally, the database files. These have been in my limited Alteryx experience (only used it since about 9.1 I think), a fixed format. Ned has a blog post which links to an open source reader they released on these files, I think as long as you aren't using a data type that didn't exist in an older version you are fine!
Alteryx ACE Mark Frisch (a.k.a. MarqueeCrew) put together a macro to allow you change the version of your workflow. You can download it here.

Supplementary Power Circuit in a Multiple Power Supply System

Supplementary Power Circuit in a Multiple Power Supply System
Disclosed is
a supplementary power circuit fort with a multiple
power supply system.
In a multiple
power supply system, a start-up timing of each
Direct Current/Direct Current (DC/DC) converter is not the same, so
that there is a time difference between each output voltage. Such a
difference might cause some problems or bring electrical stress to
devices in a power supplied system. With the present supplementary
power circuit, each output voltage appears at the same time even if
the DC/DC converter's start-up timing is different.
The Figure
shows the multiple power supply system having the
present supplementary power circuit. The system is composed of a
Micro Processing Unit (MPU), 3.3V DC/DC converter, 2.5V DC/DC
converter and the supplementary power circuit. At the power-ON time,
the 2.5V DC/DC converter outputs Vcc2 after the 3.3V DC/DC converter
outputs Vcc1, because the input of the 2.5V DC/DC converter is the
output of the 3.3V DC/DC converter. But, at the time, 2.5V (Vcc2) is
supplied by the supplementary circuit. The operation is as follows:
When the 3.3V DC/DC converter starts up, Vcc2 is supplied through Q1
and D1 because Q2 becomes ON at the time. After the predetermined
time by C1 and R3, Q3 becomes OFF and Q1 becomes OFF. This
predetermined time is defined longer than the start-up delay time of
the 2.5V DC/DC converter. After the predetermined time, V...

picnicerror.net is a place for me to post various ideas, thoughts and discoveries through both my day to day work in marketing technology and things I've picked up in my own time. This covers all sorts of things, but mainly Amazon Web Services, SQL Server and Business Intelligence, Big Data, Data visualisation and analysis, as well as a number of other web elements such as .NET Framework, HTML, CSS, Web Services, jQuery and pretty much anything that grabs my interest. Working for a marketing company, a lot of my work also encompasses working with various analytics packages and marketing tools, so you're likely to see some posts about discoveries in that area too.
From time to time, I may also post content related to personal interests, such as Football (soccer to the unenlightened), NFL and anything else that I think's worth sharing. I've shared some gaming content on here in the past, but have now started up a new blog dedicated to gaming. This can be found at: https://gaming.picnicerror.net
For now though, please take some time to look through the site and if you see anything interesting, please feel free to comment and/or link back to content. The web's a big place and and it's good to share!

Hope you're all enjoying lovely, warm days and beautiful, blue skies wherever you are!
Hello Carly,
Gorgeous colours...so many combinations.Ahhhh another one joins the crochet addicts ranks eh!!!
I usually sew the ends in ...or rather just thread then through with a needle....mind you I shall be watching out to see if anyone suggested any other way because the threads are a real pain!!!
Can I invite you to follow my blog Carly? Should you like to do so please click on the Google connect followers sign on my blog.
Amanda :-)
Hi Carly. Your granny squares look brilliant. Have a look at this tutorial http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/summer-garden-granny-square.html on Attic 24 blog in regards with what to do with your ends. It saves a lot more time at the end as I HATE sewing in the ends. I love the colours you have. What yarn are you using? XReplyDelete
oooh Carly I love the colour combinations!! I learnt to crochet a few weeks ago and after making a couple of granny squares I thought I knew what I was doing. Then I became distracted by sewing ....
Today (3 weeks later) I had an opportunity to crochet and quess what .... I've forgotten how to do it :( :( :(
Oh Carly, your grannies are stunning! You have a lovely crochet style and they look so neat and perfect. I love the colours you're using. Can't wait to see what you create with them. I now use a needle to thread my ends through. In the beginning I used to cut my ends too short which meant my work came undone later (which you don't want!!!). Leave them nice and long and thread them through as far as you need to before snipping any little ends you have poking out.
Have fun!
Those cheerful granny squares have such beautiful colors, you can get away with using cheap yarn because the colors look so good together.
I had cut up allot of our unwanted clothing in the family into granny squares a while ago and had taken some denim granny squares to cover some dinner chairs, the cushion parts, and I sewed little crochet squares in the middle of the denim to break the monotony, it looked really cute.
I've also made a denim pouch from old jeans for my Tracfone smart phone LG500G so that I don't get the touch screen scratched, I then cut up my hubbies old torn beige check shirt to get a giraffe motive to sewn on the denim pouch. It's great to get a new creative item out of old discarded stuff.
your grannies are lovely (oh that sounds funny ;o) such gorgeous colours too
have fun with your crochet-a-long!
love jooles x
These look fantastic! Love the colors! Looks like you're getting some good advice about what to do with the ends. I thread the ends on a needle, flip the granny square to the "back" and start weaving the yarn in and through the stitches, trying mostly to do so within the same color yarn to secure it, then cut the remainder. To really make it secure sometimes I like to change the direction of sewing it in, like start going one way, and then sew up or back in the same direction, if that makes sense. It's the absolute worst part, but after awhile you'll get into a good groove with it, and it will go faster!ReplyDelete
Hello sweet Carly, Your granny squares look fabulous!!! Love the colors you used too. Like you, I love picking out the colors. I have to try making a granny square! Thank you for the inspiration sweetie! I look forward to seeing more! Have a beautiful week! Love, Paula xoReplyDelete
Hi Carly!
Your granny squares are looking lovely. How about a cushion cover? ;)
I love them all though if I had to pick a favourite it would have to be the third one down - gorgeous colours.
Nina xxx
Those look great! The yarn gives off great texture and definition, and the olours are fab!!! I can't wait to see the end-product!ReplyDelete
Yay, Carly! They are gorgeous! My fav is the red border/red inside. I really, really need to get on this. I'm having granny-square envy... ;)ReplyDelete
This was like reading myself a couple of weeks ago when I made my first granny square :-))) So far I«ve made about 58 and decided to make a blanket ot of it. I hope I don't give up...ReplyDelete
ok so feeling so inspired by your post that i just ordered a crochet set!!! Love yours posts carly i sit down with a cuppa and enjoy them when the kids are having a nap!!! love and crafting hugs, victoriaReplyDelete
Hey Carly, well done on getting into the crochet.......love your grannies, the last one in particular, but the colours are all so bright and cheery. Maybe you could make a cushion with them.......as you say rugs need a lot of squares.
It's rather addictive crochet, so be warned. If you haven't already discovered Lucy over at Attic 24, pay her a visit. She has some great crochet tutorials and crochets amazing things...
CLaire :}
Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit, and for taking the time to leave me a comment. It's always a pleasure to hear from readers, and it really makes my day!

Dave's 30th Birthday 80's Cake
A friend had an 80s themed 30th birthday party and asked me to make the cake. As a huge fan of the 80s it was hard to come up with just a few things to do for this cake. Obviously bold colors were a given. I added a cassette tape, funky sunglasses, a Rubik's cube, and of course the amazing game of Pac Man was represented. I may end up having to post more photos with different angles so that all aspects of the cake are shown. It was a huge success and the birthday boy was extremely pleased.

Introducing Angela Cook
Hey there! My name is Angela, cousin to the most fabulous little cousin, Michael. I have 3 amazing children with the love of my life, Jason. Together we have attended numerous candlelight vigils. I am also a full time student with the ambition to work in the health care field, the exact profession is not fully determined yet. I am happily awaiting to see what our future holds in the coming years. :)
I was never blessed to have met my cousin Michael in person, he was gone before my uncle (Jerry) married his mother (Tammi). Tammi and Jerry had one of the most beautiful weddings I had gone to. The floral arrangement was spectacular, there was a bouquet of roses and in the center was a sunflower. The roses signified all the loved ones we had lost, he sunflower was the symbolic gesture of remembering that we were missing someone very dear, Michael.
From that time on I would learn about Michael through his older sister, Nicole. Nicole and I would stay up late at the grandparents, and somehow us two would start talking about Michael, I knew she missed him each and every day that passed. The day must have played over and over in her head. Michael and Nicole's sister, Elizabeth was hospitalized with pneumonia, so Tammi had planned on a friend, whom also was a nurse, to watch over her other children while she stayed bedside with Elizabeth. The day Elizabeth was set to be discharged from the hospital is the day everyone's life changed. A nurse had found my Aunt Tammi, and said she was needed downstairs in the ER, puzzled as to why she went downstairs to hear and see the horror of what happened to her 6 month old baby. She would later learn that Michael suffered from Shaken Baby Syndrome and was also thought he was slammed up against a wall or floor, his chances of survival was only 1%.
Baby Michael defied all odds and survived. He was left with severe handicaps, however he thrived on the love that surrounded him. At the tender age of 5, Michael's body left this earth. As a family we are positive that he remains around us, we all feel his love on a daily basis.
It is because of Michael that I hopped onto Myspace to raise awareness for all children of child abuse. It was then that I ran into the most horrific thing ever. There were many, many cases of Shaken Baby Syndrome. It was around 2007 that I had the pleasure to talk to Rachel, the mother of angel Madilyne Wentz. Rachel wanted to do something for all the victims of Shaken Baby Syndrome. Our first small step in raising awareness together was doing a small video montage of the many victims and survivors of SBS. From there the rest is history as our main goal is to provide comfort to the families, by us, the family. Sometimes it's best to be able to talk with someone who has walked in similar shoes.

At Sierra Tucson, we take the safety and wellbeing of our residents seriously. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality resident relationship and experience, as well as adhering to rigorous safety standards. Our longstanding commitment to deliver clinical excellence is the bedrock upon which our center was built.
What Is a RASC?
Sierra Tucson employs a team of Residential Accountability and Safety Coaches, also known as RASCs, to help bridge the gap between safety and assisting a resident to maintain his or her own level of accountability. Each RASC is trained in trauma-informed care, ethics, motivational interviewing, crisis prevention intervention, boundaries, customer service, and other related skills to keep our residents and campus safe. Our goal is to closely track residents and their whereabouts, while creating a least-restrictive environment that allows for autonomy and responsibility. RASCs are also responsible for engaging and supporting residents throughout the duration of their stay at Sierra Tucson. Ultimately, RASCs help to foster a safe recovery environment that encourages accountability and prepares residents for life outside of treatment.
Campus Safety
By ensuring the safety of every resident at Sierra Tucson, RASCs also maintain the wellbeing of the entire campus. Each RASC is assigned to a specific lodge on campus in order to establish a therapeutic rapport with residents and deliver comprehensive recovery services. RASCs also assist with accountability implementation by participating in meetings with the treatment team to identify harmful recovery behaviors that may arise. Communication between residents and staff has become more efficient since implementing the role of the RASC, thus promoting a healthy, recovery-oriented community.
Creating the Resident Relationship and Experience
When it comes to our residents, quality service is our top priority. We want each individual to feel safe and supported from the moment he or she walks through our doors until the time of discharge, and well beyond treatment completion via Connect365 and Alumni Relations. Due to the continuous presence of our RASCs, we have developed a more resident-driven, resident-friendly atmosphere. In everything we do at Sierra Tucson, we strive for resident satisfaction and clinical excellence. As leaders in the behavioral and mental health care industry, we are continually raising the bar on safety to ensure our facility meets the highest standards.

Trick-or-treating has been delayed until Saturday.
Hundreds of thousands of homes were without power for days after a powerful storm barreled across the Massachusetts Sunday night.
That storm brought with it heavy rains and winds of around 70 miles per hour to North Andover, which saw more than its share of downed power lines. A massive tree almost fell on St. Michael Church, for example. And on Olympic Lane, a large tree fell on a garage and crushed a vehicle. Fortunately, no one was hurt in those incidents.
Monday morning's commute was a challenge, with tree limbs scattered and stoplights out across town. Almost none of the town's stoplights functioned, which led to a bit of anarchy on the roads.
As of 11 a.m. Monday, there were more than 300,000 National Grid customers without power. While that number decreased throughout the day, there were still more than 4,000 North Andover homes without power at 2:30 p.m. Monday, with no estimated time of restoration.
Just in time for Halloween, downtown North Andover looked like a ghost town Monday, with very few businesses open due to the massive power outage.
And speaking of Halloween, Trick-or-treating has been postponed until this Saturday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
There's a lot of yard waste around town from the storm, in addition to the usual fall season yard waste, so the Cyr Recycling Center on Sharpners Pond Road is increasing its hours and will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. until Dec. 9 (except Nov. 23 and 24, when the facility will be closed for Thanksgiving).

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that it is MUCH more expansive than I thought. But, I have been scared to even start looking out of fear that my family would think it is a waste of time and ridicule me. So here are my questions: What equipment do I need to buy? How do I find a group that is willing to teach but still has a professional atmosphere? Where the heck do I even find events to go to? I live In Dallas, Texas and I am 18 years old.

Pawar-Jaitley camaraderie in Baramati sparks speculation
Jaitley was in Baramati on Friday and Saturday for functions organised by Pawar's educational institute, Vidya Pratishtanmumbai Updated: Oct 18, 2015 00:07 IST
Union finance minister and senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley's two-day visit to Baramati and his praise of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar at a public event has sparked off speculations in political circles.
Jaitley was in Baramati on Friday and Saturday for functions organised by Pawar's educational institute, Vidya Pratishtan.
Jaitley said the Baramati model of development should be replicated in other parts of the country. "Baramati has been a learning experience for me….Our country could be really developed if we have 100 towns developed like Baramati,"Jaitley said, while inaugurating an engineering college building.
Jaitley also stayed at Pawar's residence. Pawar had organised a dinner for him in which all members of his family including former Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar participated.
No state BJP leader except Pune district guardian minister Girish Bapat was present in Baramati with Jaitley.
The camaraderie between the two leaders surprised many in state's political circles as two days ago Pawar had criticised the BJP-led central and state governments for their failure on various fronts including Prime Minister Narendra Modi's reaction to Dadri lynching incident. He had also said that his party won't bail out the Fadnavis government in the state if Shiv Sena pulls out. In fact, analysts believe that his statement led to BJP and the Shiv Sena to mend fences.
Significantly, PM Modi and BJP leaders in the state had criticised Pawar during the Lok Sabha and assembly elections. Modi had even appealed voters in Baramati to end the 'uncle-nephew's reign' referring to senior Pawar and former Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar. However, Modi himself had visited Baramati in February this year and publicly acknowledged that he always sought advice from Pawar.
He had also said that Pawar was the only minister in Congress-led UPA government with whom he had good rapport during the former's tenure as Gujarat chief minister. When asked about Jaitley's visit, senior state BJP leaders chose not to comment. According to sources in the party, Pune BJP leaders had expressed their unhappiness when they came to know about Jaitley's proposed visit to Baramati. They had even pointed out that the NCP has launched agitation against the BJP government in the state.
Significantly, the NCP has been helping the BJP led government in the Rajya Sabha where the opposition has more numbers than the ruling side.
