Start Line Volunteers
Our primary concern is that the Start Line is secure and safe for all runners. In order to achieve this, we barricade the area in front and to the rear of the Start Line. There are about 300 metal barricades to be placed along Laurier Avenue and Elgin Street. These barricades are about 2 metres long and weigh about 15kg each. Once placed, it is necessary to marshal the area to keep it clear of spectators and ensure runners are placed behind the Start Line. We set up a false start line about 10M before the real start line so that the timers can set up their equipment and also to allow any elite runners a space to line up in front of the main body of runners.
As you are wearing a vest that indicates that you are a volunteer, spectators will assume that you know everything about the event. This makes it necessary for you to be familiar with the start times, finish location, spectator finish line viewing areas and recovery area. All this information is outlined on the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend web page, www.runottawa.com and the event guide, distributed to all runners. We intend to have one available for you as well. The start line is an exciting place, as you get a good look at all the runners. Once runners have left the start, we secure the area again to dismantle the start structure, pick up garbage & clothes left behind (gloves supplied) and remove the barricades. Be aware of the weather forecast for your scheduled shift and dress accordingly, as the races will be staged regardless of weather.
Thank you for considering helping out at the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend Start Line. I look forward to meeting you.
Saturday, May 25th:
You are required to be at the start line for 1:00 p.m. with a finish of approximately 7:00 p.m.
Sunday, May 26th:
You are required to be at the start line for 5:30 a.m. with a finish of approximately 12 noon.
To register for this area please contact email@example.com to indicate your availability by date and times.

You can find my modified source code and AGPS development info in the second post.
New Features:
- Show the number of satellites before getting a location fix.
- Show or hide the GPS symbol in the status bar instantly when you start or stop a GPS app.
- Support the leap seconds. (Thanks to arne182.)
- Modify the Accuracy (i.e. Error in meter) to be more reasonable.
- Add AGPS interface. (Won't see "no AGPS interface in agps_data_conn_open" in logcat now.)
- Add the missing functions to receive the NTP, XTRA, and SUPL settings from gps.conf.
- Add AGPS implementation including injecting AGPS data (xtra.bin) and NTP time into the gpsOne engine.
- Hide Fix/Sats info and make the GPS symbol in the status bar flashing when you go to basement or tunnel.
- Show DOP/HDOP/VDOP values in GPS Status.
- Show Altitude above Geoid (i.e. mean sea level) and Geoid height. (You will see both of them in GPS Status. The value within parentheses is Geoid height.)
- Show correct SNR (Signal to noise ratio) value.
- Activate the AGPS data injection. (You can get a cold lock very quickly due to the working AGPS.) (Thanks to qwerty_7564.)
Known issues:
- Accuracy value is for reference only.
- Position Accuracy (meter) = HDOP (unitless) * Measurement Precision (meter). (Please confirm whether this formula is correct.)
- We only get the correct HDOP value, and we assume the value of Measurement Precision, and then do a post calculation to get Accuracy. So don't trust it completely.
- Some ROMs are not compatible with NMEA version of libgps.so.
- Those ROMs don't set the correct permission to /dev/smd27, so libgps.so cannot read NMEA sentences from it.
- The solution is to flash GPS_NMEA_permission_update.zip for correcting the permission after booting.
- Some ROMs suffer from the "GPS off-and-on" bug.
- Those ROMs can shutdown the gpsOne engine properly when turning off GPS setting using gps_cleanup(), but they cannot restart the gpsOne engine again because gps_init() is never called when turning GPS setting on after turning it off.
- It's a Gingerbread bug which is fixed by applying this commit from the source code.
- If you cannot modify the source code, the workaround is to set/add GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED=0 into gps.conf to avoid doing full cleanup.
Mod edit: Links removed
Installation for CWM:
- Place your downloaded file (GPS_Libraries_v1.x_for_HD2_Gingerbread_update.zip ) in the SD card.
- Enter CWM (ClockworkMod) Recovery
- MAGLDR 1.13: Hold "Power" button during boot to enter MAGLDR, and then select "AD Recovery" or "Boot AD SD" (if ever copied CWM's initrd.gz and zImage to SD) to enter CMW.
- cLK 220.127.116.11: Hold "Home" button during boot to enter CMW.
- Choose install zip from sdcard and locate your downloaded file to finish the installation.
- All done.
How to inject the AGPS data (xtra.bin):
It will be done in the following situations. (Data connection, WiFi or 3G, is a must in all of them.)
- When you turn off GPS in setting and turn it on again.
- When you keep GPS on and reboot. (also inject NTP time)
- When you keep GPS on and run Leo AGPS Injector. (also inject NTP time)
- When you keep GPS on and run GPS Status. (or any similar apps to download AGPS)
- AGPS will be downloaded when you start GPS Status if AGPS is older than X days or Y hours where X and Y are read from the settings.
- Or you can download it manually from Tools.
- When you keep GPS on and replace with the modified gps.conf to set AGPS auto-download intervals when using GPS libs v1.8 or above.
- AGPS auto-download intervals are disabled in default if you don't modify gps.conf.
How to verify if AGPS works or not:
- When AGPS works, you will be able to get a full lock (e.g. 7/7, 8/8, or 9/9) in cold start less than 20 seconds if you're outdoor in a sunny day.
(Full locks mean fix and satellites equals to each other.)
- If AGPS not works, you may see 5/7, 6/7, 5/8 (fix is less than satellites) right after you get a lock.
How /system/etc/gps.conf works?
There're three stock gps.conf in AOSP repository for different regions.
1. gps.conf_AS_SUPL (Asia)
2. gps.conf_EU_SUPL (Europe)
3. gps.conf_US_SUPL (North-America)
# Explanations are added. Don't copy them below to your gps.conf.
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org (Used for NTP time injection)
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin (Used for AGPS data xtra.bin injection. Randomly choose from one of these three servers and download xtra.bin from it.)
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com (Be read but never be used)
SUPL_PORT=7276 (Be read but never be used)
Supported extra settings for /system/etc/gps.conf when using v2.0 or above. (Only valid for HD2)
Beginning with character # means this line is a comment, so you can remove it.
You don't need to add any of them if you don't know what they are.
########################################### # Enable/disable automatic (periodic) # # download requests of gpsOneXTRA # # assistance data to client # # Range: 0 to 1 # # Default: 0 (Disabled) # ########################################### GPS1_XTRA_AUTO_DOWNLOAD_ENABLED=0 ########################################### # Time (in hours) between automatic # # download requests of gpsOneXTRA # # assistance data to client # # Range: 1 to 168 (168 = hr in a week) # # Default: 24 hr # ########################################### GPS1_XTRA_DOWNLOAD_INTERVAL=24 ########################################### # Enable/disable to shutdown the gpsOne # # engine properly on GPS off # # Range: 0 to 1 # # Default: 1 (Enabled) # ########################################### GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED=1 ########################################### # Time (in seconds) between invoking # # pdsm_get_position() # # Range: 2 to 120 # # Default: 2 seconds # ########################################### GPS1_SESSION_TIMEOUT=2
AGPS works in v1.7. The following workaround is for v1.6 and below versions only.
Instructions for the AGPS data Injection.
There're at least three methods (I recommend free apps here.) to be able to inject AGPS data.
- GScript method.
- Script Manager method.
- LeoAGpsSwitcher_0.1.apk method.
Please download libgps_Switcher_v1.6.zip, decompress it to your SD card, and follow the steps below if you want AGPS support.
You need to repeat steps 4 and 5 every time when you need AGPS.
- Put the following files in the SD card.
/sdcard/ClockworkMod/GPS_Libraries_v1.6_for_HD2_Gingerbread_update.zip (Remember to download it.)
/sdcard/ClockworkMod/libgps_with_AGPS_update.zip (Remember to download it.)
- Install GScript or GScript Lite.
- Add 1_install_Magic_AGPS.sh and 2_install_libgps_v1.6.sh to GScript.
- Run 1_install_Magic_AGPS.sh, and the phone will hot reboot itself.
After reboot, make sure you have network connection, and wait at lease 1 min to let Android download and inject AGPS data.
- Run 2_install_libgps_v1.6.sh, and the phone will hot reboot itself.
After reboot, you can enjoy the quicker GPS cold lock.
- Version 2.1 NMEA|RPC - (Aug. 26)
- Both: Remove or reduce some debugging info output to logcat. (Cleanup and optimization stage.)
- Both: Output NMEA or RPC version and parsed settings of gps.conf to logcat.
- Version 2.0 NMEA|RPC - (Aug. 6)
- Both: Add GPS1_SESSION_TIMEOUT in gps.conf to set time between invoking pdsm_get_position(). (Default is 2 seconds. Range is 2~120 seconds.)
- RPC: Hide Fix/Sats info and make the GPS symbol in the status bar flashing when you go to basement or tunnel. (NMEA already has this feature. This is for RPC version.)
- Version 1.9 NMEA|RPC - (Jul. 29)
- Both: Include v1.7's latest gps.htcleo.so, gps.leo.so, and gps.bravo.so again.
- Both: Add a new thread for getting GPS location locks: (Credits to qwerty_7564)
- gps_get_position() is called in its own thread using callbacks to request the next position.
- remove unnecessary sleep and the can_send flag in pdsm_get_position().
- Both: Remove unnecessary mallocs since there is a performance cost for use. (Credits to qwerty_7564)
- Both: Shutdown the gpsOne engine properly on GPS off. (i.e. turning off GPS from settings) (Credits to qwerty_7564)
- Both: Support loading the GPS1_CLEANUP_ENABLED flag from gps.conf. (Set it to 0 if you use a ROM that has "GPS off-and-on bug".)
- Both: Parse gps.conf and invoke pdsm_xtra_set_auto_download_params() only once until reboot.
- Both: Support the customized fix update frequency, which is set by a GPS tracking app, via gps_get_position(int timeout).
- NMEA: Add a timer thread for supporting the customized fix update frequency which is set by a GPS tracking app.
(As a result, we won't see the fast-forwarding effect in time field in GPS Status, and the random hot reboot issue in NMEA version may be fixed too.)
- Version 1.8 NMEA|RPC - (Jul. 19)
- Both: Support automatic (periodic) download requests of gpsOneXTRA assistance data to client. (Default is disabled.) (Credits to qwerty_7564.)
- Both: Support enabling xtra.bin download requests and setting download interval from gps.conf.
- Both: Include v1.6's old gps.htcleo.so, gps.leo.so, and gps.bravo.so. (It seems that v1.7's new gps.xxx.so causes the battery drain in some ROMs, but not all ROMs.)
- NMEA: Disable $GPGSV report to make NMEA version more stable. (It seems that random hot reboot issue is reduced.)
- RPC: Support the negative altitude. (Credits to arne182.)
- RPC: Fix the incorrect HDOP value.
- Version 1.7 NMEA|RPC - (Jul. 10)
- Both: Activate the AGPS data injection. (You can get a cold lock very quickly due to the working AGPS.) (Thanks to qwerty_7564.)
- Both: Include updated gps.htcleo.so, gps.leo.so, and gps.bravo.so. (Fix suspension issues.) (Thanks to rmcc.)
- RPC: Disable NMEA sentences output and enable RPC Callback function output.
- Version 1.6 - (Jul. 05)
- Set Measurement Precision to 10.0 meters.
- Version 1.5 - (Jun. 26)
- Support daylight saving time (DST).
- Version 1.4 - (Jun. 24)
- A whole new version using NMEA sentences.
- Hide Fix/Sats info when you go to basement or tunnel.
- Show DOP/HDOP/VDOP values in GPS Status.
- Show Altitude above Geoid (i.e. mean sea level) and Geoid height. (You will see both of them in GPS Status. The value within parentheses is Geoid height.)
- Show correct SNR (Signal to noise ratio) value.
- Disable AGPS Ephemeris data (xtra.bin) injection.
- Assume Measurement Precision to 5.0 meters.
- Include updated gps.htcleo.so, gps.leo.so, and gps.bravo.so. (Only one file will be used by your ROM. I suggest to delete the other two files in this zip file, and then flash it.)
- Version 1.3 - (Jun. 15)
- Fix the reboot issue. (In v1.2, reboot your phone when the GPS setting is off, you will enter the boot loop.)
- Inject the correct time to the gpsOne engine.
- Comment out some debugging data.
- Version 1.2 - (Jun. 12)
- Support injecting AGPS Ephemeris data (xtra.bin) into the gpsOne engine by implementing pdsm_xtra_set_data().
- Support injecting time into the gpsOne engine by implementing pdsm_xtra_inject_time_info().
- Assume Measurement Precision to 2.5 meters.
- Version 1.1 - (Jun. 02)
- Assume Measurement Precision to 2.0 meters.
- Version 1.0 - (May 28)
- Show the number of satellites before getting a location fix.
- Show or hide the GPS icon in the status bar instantly when you start or stop a GPS app.
- Support the leap seconds. (Thanks to arne182 for figuring it out.)
- Modify the Accuracy to be more reasonable. (Assume Measurement Precision to 10 meters)
- Add AGPS interface. (Won't see "no AGPS interface in agps_data_conn_open" in logcat now.)
- Add the missing functions to receive the NTP, XTRA, and SUPL settings from gps.conf.

GCC has a longstanding relationship with the Applewood Towers Retirement Community located in Lawrenceville. Every week, GCC busses residents to and from Applewood to our building for worship services. We also facilitate bi-monthly shopping trips for those living at Applewood who are unable to get out on their own.
The GCC family is involved in many different community outreach events throughout the year. Each year we host the community for the Community Fair, Easter Egg Hunt, Trunk or Treat, Blood Drive, and Fall Bonfire & Hayride.
At GCC we value not only hearing the word of God but also applying it in our daily lives. Our connection groups are specifically designed to give people a forum to discuss scripture with one another for the purposes of integrating the Bible into the way we live Monday through Saturday. Connection groups last about an hour, feature a series of discussion questions, and end with a time of us praying for each other.
Currently numerous Ghanaian families call GCC home, and we are committed to ministering not only to them but also the other people within our community who came to Gwinnett from outside of the United States.
The Gwinnett Church of Christ is the sponsor for Cub Scout Pack 510. It is the belief of the church leadership that Scouting offers a great opportunity for young boys to learn important lessons in character and integrity as they grow to manhood. By sponsoring Scouting units, the church also has the opportunity to work closely with families in our community and provide Godly mentors for both Scouts and parents. Pack 510 recruits primarily from Woodward Mill Elementary School, but all families with boys from 1st to 5th grade are invited to join us.
The ladies of GCC offer numerous opportunities for the women of our church family to fellowship, study, and pray for each other. Monthly Ladies Night Out activities, midweek Bible studies, parties and game nights all work to bring the women of GCC closer to each other, and ultimately closer to God.

Street Art on Strøget
This artist staked out a prime location - right in front of Royal Copenhagen.
If you love Danish dishware, figurines, glasses etc. this is the place to shop. You will pay dearly for these handmade pieces of art. Unless you know about the Third Floor. On that floor you will find all of the pieces that did not quite make the cut. They may have a blemish or the color maybe a little off. No one, except a collector would notice and you will get a bargain price. Now, I am not saying that is where I bought mine...but you might want to check it out.

As every week.
And what updates we do have!
First, and pretty awesome (in case you missed my random post about it on Monday)...
I am a NaNoWriMo 2011 WINNER!
That's right. At around 1:15 AM Monday morning, I crossed the 50k line and secured myself a NaNo win. I had planned to write enough to finish Monday evening, but as the word count got closer, I just couldn't stop. Luckily, hubby had Monday off, so I was able to stay up late and type like mad. He was even sitting next to me on his computer as I crossed the line.
I literally raised my arms in the air and cheered. It was awesome.
And he got to see it.
I was starting to worry about if I would win this year. It was tough. The story was being mean to me. My kiddos became anti-let-mommy-write soldiers. I still had a photo backlog to catch up on, and honestly... sleep started to sound better to me than most anything.
|Three wins in a year. So pretty!
I feel great. I accomplished my goal.
Though I might not be in love with RS right now. While I know it requires MUCH editing and many gaps to be filled in before I potentially fall in love with it someday... I am proud. This was my third book I have written in one year. My third rough draft brought into creation. Three novels in a year. This is just nuts. And regardless of my exhaustion and always messy home...
I feel great!
If you are out there and doing NaNoWriMo: HIGH FIVE. Perhaps you have already won. If so, I now throw confetti in your direction. Perhaps you are still racing to the end. If that is the case, KEEP GOING. You can do this. And perhaps you gave it a try but this year just didn't go right. I still high five you. Many people out there didn't even try.
You are amazing.
Whats next?:
A break. That's right. For at least the month of December, I am setting these WIPs aside and letting them simmer. Maybe I will catch up on my photo editing. Maybe I will read much to many books. Maybe I will give in and not stick to this at all. Either way, that is what is next. Come January I plan to pull ITB back out of the drawer... and see what happens.
PN Update:
Have I mentioned? I ordered my proof copy.
That's right! It was shipped last Thursday, with an ETA of the 5th... such a long wait. And I am going nuts. But it should be worth it. I am really hoping that it arrives and looks great and I can approve it. As nervous as I am right now about releasing it to the world... I just need to get it done.
My Kindle version is all ready to go as well. All it is waiting for is the paperback... and Prison Nation will enter the world.
In Other News:
- Did you see the interview Writing in Wonderland posted... of me? So surreal to see the word "author" next to my name...
- Don't forget to follow me other ways other than GFC, especially if you do not have Blogger. Big GFC change coming in the future, and I love you all too much to lose you.
- I officially own a Kindle now. It's true. Don't get me wrong: I still opt for good old paper pages LONG before I turn to the ebook. Still... It is nice to get my NetGalley books to read. And to now offer book reviews for people who can only send ecopies.
That's about it for this Wednesday! How is your day going??
Happy Writing!

Awnings enhance the beauty of your home, create fabulous curb appeal, provide cool and shady areas to relax under, offer UV protection from the sun, and help you save on energy costs. Awnings are amazing, multi-purpose and come in a remarkable range of types and styles.
We have a passion for awnings. We custom design them, manufacture them in our own facilities here in Arden, NC and send out our own specially trained employees to install them. We offer a variety of awnings to meet your unique needs including:
• Window and Door Awnings
• Patio and Deck Awnings
• Fabric Awnings
• Metal Awnings
• Retractable Awnings
• Motorized Awnings
• Canopies
• Metal Canopies
We do our best to source most of our awning materials locally including the Sunbrella fabric that the majority of our fabric awnings are made with. Take a look at all the different Sunbrella awning fabric choices and get inspired.
With our Awning Composer software, we can show you the finished look of your awning before we ever cut the fabric or pick up a tool to install it. We simply take a before picture of the space where you want to put your awning then we use software to add the awning to the picture so that you can see what the completed project will look like. We can show you a wide variety of styles and colors to help you choose the perfect awning for your home.
It was easy to work with the Air-Vent representative and decide what would look best and fit the requirements for my Homeowners Association. The men who installed the awning answered questions and came back later to adjust the awning to my satisfaction. It was worth the investment to have a cooler house these hot summer days and the enjoyment of more patio use.
Lots of choices of colors and patterns and very good quality of fabrics. Very easily installed and leave no mess to deal with. This is the third time I have had them do the work and am completely satisfied with the professional manner they install the awnings.
Very professional product- installation was top notch. We love the awning!

Check out this super easy, super yummy dinner for your family, click here! It says that the prep time is 20 minutes, but it only took me 10. I substituted the cooked chicken breast for just canned chicken breast, so I didn't have to take the time to cook the chicken and dice it all up. (just make sure you drain the chicken before you add it in to the bowl)
I didn't even add the random spices... and it was just as yummy.
Enjoy! :)

My mom has some classic records, Beetles White Album, Jimi Hendrix, and others. I am wondering of there is a way to record them onto my computer. I have an iMac so it has to be USB or Firewire. Is there a cable that I can hook up to the output jacks that will send the sound to my computer? What kind of software would be good for this?(something cheap)


text:
Some regions are known for their weather, hot and humid in Georgia, cold and snowy in Minnesota, and rainy and grey in Seattle. California is no different, we are simply "weather-less" to the minds of people from the more extreme regions. Especially in the San Francisco Bay Area, with our summer fog blowing in through the Marin headlands, past the golden gate up into the Berkeley hills and all our other microclimates, it is easy to forget the dry heat of the valleys, that though fruitful with crops can also seem like a dessert. In times of severe drought, California's governors have time and again called for conservation. Have you seen the EBMUD's (east bay municiple utilities district) billboards showing use of brooms instead of hosing the sidewalk? Have you heard the Water Sense radio ads for how boaters can save water so they can keep their boats in without getting stuck in the muck? Maybe you've even heard a Josh Donaldson of the Oakland A's recommending taking a "power shower"?
So if conserving water is their problem, isn't it ours too? Hetchhetchy water tastes great, until we run out and need to use wells filled with minerals that discolor and leave hard to clean spots on our cars and shower doors and that has a disgusting taste like Hanford water. So what can we do?
Effective cheap techniques (more men than women seem to prefer these)
- Commando Shower: Turning the shower on, waiting for it to get up to temperature, getting wet, turning off the water, lathering up while getting goose bumps, turning the water back on and fiddling around trying to get the temperature right again, rinsing off and being done in 5 minutes or less. Over twenty years ago a shower head was designed just for this purpose with a little "off" button on the shower head!
- Bucket Brigade: Having a bucket, or several, in your bathroom hoping not to trip over them, filling them with cold water as you wait for the hot water to reach you from the water heater that is located at the other end of the house, picking the heavy bucket out of the tub or shower being careful not to spill gallons all over your floor or drop the thing on your toe and then enjoying a nice warm shower... Repeat per person in the house because the water cools off in the pipes in the 15-20 minutes it takes for you to dry off, get dressed and other essential getting ready time.
- Let it Mellow: Applying only "if it's yellow", let urine and toilet paper sit and hang out in the toilet bowl for a few trips to the toilet, not enough to clog the system hopefully, then flush assuming your friends are friendly with this, otherwise expect them to flush or think your toilet may not be functioning and try to fix it for you, and scrubbing the toilet bowl more often due to bacteria that tries to make a new home for itself.
- Sink Capture: Hand washing dishes in a bucket and reusing the dirty water in their toilet and over time having a toilet that clogs regularly and flushing mechanisms not working. Some pour this water into their gardens, more appropriately, but find that pests become attracted to the washed out food particles.
Mythological techniques (no unicorns or dragons to help these out)
- Hand-washing dishes in the sink: many homeowners all over the Bay Area are still hand-washing their dishes, some simply don't have a dishwasher, others find it therapeutic but most believe they are being Eco conscious. What they don't realize is that even if they are washing in a bucket and collecting dishes in a sudsy place, while they rinse they actually use more water on average than they would using a dishwasher! Dishwashers today have been designed to use very little water, not only can they reach the scalding germ killing temperatures that are impossible by hand, but they precisely spray the water where it is needed and use small effecient and powerful streams of spray that push the grime off. They also have integrated little garbage disposers in them so that the particles get grinded up and sent out so that they're not spread all over onto other clean dishes.
- Reusing all water is good: Water from the kitchen sink, and even washing machines especially for parents washing soiled diapers and changes of clothes is actually considered "black". Black water is a fabulous place for organisms to grow, hibernate and spread potential disease in food partials and grease. Grey water, called so because of its general coloring and lack of clarity, can be reclaimed immediately without needing to go to a major processing plant. This water may be from washing hands with environmental friendly soaps or using the washing maching with a regular cycle of clothes and can be used to flush toilets and water plants safely. There are elaborate systems plumbers can hook up to capture this potential waste and direct it to gardens and filtering collection tanks. There are also simple systems to connect bathroom sinks to toilets to avoide flushing potable drinking water directly down the drain.
Realistic techniques (approved by Berkeley and San Francisco hippies)
- Basic: Water Sense and PG & E have a great websites with simple cost effective techniques that are safe and relationship friendly.
What if you're already Planning to remodel?
- Select water saving fixtures and faucets start with dual flush toilets and low flow toilets, Toto has one that is 1GPF (gallon per flush)!
- How about the shower head? Yes, you can still feel luxurious as water rushes down covering your whole body, has enough pressure to rinse out your hair and saves water! No need for those commando showers boys! That being said, for those who like to turn the water off mid-shower, I recommend getting a thermostatic shower valve. This measures how warm the water is and maintains that temperature during your shower without losing pressure when someone in another part of your home runs the dishwasher or flushes a toilet.
- Shorten your wait time for hot water. Ask your plumber if an on-demand or tankless hot water heater just outside your bathroom, or even under the sink makes sense for your home and situation. Another cost effective option might be to use a recirculating pump which pushes the cold water from the hot water line into the cold water line until hot water is a few seconds from your sink or shower without changing the temperature of the water in your cold water line, it's a neat trick!
I'm curious, how might your thinking have changed about saving water? Please add your comments.

Centera Migration
Field Tested, Application Proven Data Migration
Interlock Technology, a leader in Centera migrations, provides Data Migration services between CAS and NAS devices in both compliant and non-complaint configurations. Common migration configurations include:CAS to NAS: Interlock's proprietary technology copies CAS data from the source device, transforming CAS objects into files with application-specific filenames, paths and filesystem metadata. If the target NAS system has WORM compliance features enabled, compliance/retention policies applied to the source data are cloned to the target device.
CAS to CAS: Interlock clones data from one CAS system to another at high speed, preserving all object metadata and compliance policies. Where the two CAS systems are compatible models, content addresses are preserved to ensure seamless application transitions.
NAS to NAS: Interlock performs file clones across similar or dissimilar NAS platforms, including cloning any WORM retention policies applied to source data.
CAS to Cloud: Migrating data from physical servers to the Cloud can have hidden cost and complexity. Unlike services which rely on templating, or scripting, Interlock's proprietary technology clones (replicates?) data from the source system to the target Cloud service, preserving metadata and application dependencies.
Interlock Data Migration services preserve application access to data, enabling transparent storage consolidation and allowing upgrades without affecting applications or necessitating user retraining on application interfaces.

Hand lay-up is the process that starts with the application of gel coating onto a completely polished and waxed mould. (gelcoating is an optional step. We will discuss about gelcoating next time)
A coat of laminating resin (resin that being mixed with catalyst / hardener, or else your part will not cure) is then being applied by brush or roller. Follow by the first layer of chopped strand mat (preferably 300 gs/m2 or less), or if desire a surface tissue.
The laminating resin is then applied to the reinforcement (the fiberglass) so that all trap air can be force out using roller.
Continue doing this for your next layer of fiberglass, until desired thickness is achieved.
Once finished, allow the resin to cure. You can feel the reaction taken place when your product is producing heat.
Finally, remove your product from the mould (demould) and next step is trimming the fiberglass product.
Hand Lay Up Tips
1. Make sure the mould is properly waxed. 5-6 layer of paste wax should be apply to the newly use mould. This is to make sure the product can be easily be demould.
2. Refer to Material Data Sheet on ration for resin-catalyst. Make sure laminating process can be finish before the resin start gelling. This is called the resin gel time.
3. Use compress air to help you demould the product.
4. Quickly wash the brush and roller with acetone if you wish to reuse it.
|Brushes for resin impregnation process and metal rollers to force the air buble out.
|Paint rollers can be use as alternative to brushes depending on mould size and profile

they're showing the 1990 semi-final on ESPN classic tonight, 7.30.
i know this clashes with the mexico game, but if you've got sky+ or summit.
be interesting to watch the entire game for the first time, rather than just relying on documentary tit-bits.
martin kelner (?) wrote an interesting bit in the guardian today about how novel it is to listen to the actual commentry of the time rather than rely on the distortions of history.....apparantly robson got a bit of a slagging during and after the cameroon match and everyone said how fucked gaza looked...before he came up with the goods to set up platt.
on that note, anyone watched 'one night in turin' yet?
From what I've seen of the coverage of the time
there wasn't a lot of positivism about England's chances early on, and of course the whole formation got changed supposedly at the players' behest.
The book 'tie-in' for One Night In Turin is just a rebranding of Pete Davies' All Played Out, which is one of the very best books about football from the British perspective, but I wonder whether a lot of Davies' thoughts about the way players were treated and the World Cup fan experience have been kept in.
Speaking of reputations, this is the first seven minutes of BBC1's England-Cameroon coverage, where as soon as he's required to talk unflappable, confident Des Lynam suddenly becomes unconfident and all too flappable: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY1EKhCVzx0
I don't think I could bring myself to watch it again.
It's been 20 years and I'm still not fully over it.
i love ESPN classic
this is the first game i can remember watching; my parents let me stay up late to watch the whole thing. i'm not sure if i really knew what was going on at the time, but it was clearly very exciting.
Brazil France in the 86 quarter
was the first match I can remember.
Wasn't really into footy for around another two years, so the whole Hand of God quarter kinda passed me by.

Blur – The Magic Whip
I'll start with my favourite album of the year by a country mile, The Magic Whip by Blur. Coming out of the blue 12 years after their previous album it was one hell of a surprise to say the least, but it was well worth the wait. I'm a huge Blur fan and I'd been waiting so long for a new album from them, especially after Graham Coxon rejoined the band in 2009 and the three new songs released since 2010. And this year, 2015, we finally got it.
The music is classic Blur. Anyone who knows the band knows that they have a different sound on every album and The Magic Whip is no different. You can hear influences from past Blur albums but as a whole it's something completely different, completely new, and that's what makes the album sound so good. I was lucky enough to be at the album release show in London back in March where 200 lucky people heard the album from start to finish for the very first time and it was incredible. Fantastic album, fantastic band. Check it out if you haven't already.
The Allman Brothers Band – Idlewild South (Deluxe Edition)
Idlewild South has needed a good remaster for a while and this year it finally happened, and on top of that the album was released as a deluxe edition with various additional tracks. Recorded and released in 1970, Idlewild South is the second studio album from The Allman Brothers Band and contains a number of fantastic songs that become live staples, most notable the epic In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed.
One of the best things about this deluxe edition is the inclusion of certain studio outtakes including a studio version of Statesboro Blues which most Allman Brothers fans know as a live song and not a studio song. An alternate take of Midnight Rider is great as well and the full Ludlow Garage live set makes this deluxe edition one of the albums of the year for sure.
Keith Richards – Crosseyed Heart
You can't beat a good blues album and Crosseyed Heart by Keith Richards is one of my favourite albums of the year. Containing a number of fantastic blues tunes but also rock and reggae numbers, the album is extremely enjoyable to listen to and makes you dream for another album from The Rolling Stones. But until then, this will definitely do.
The great thing about this album is that it sounds fun and relaxed at the same time, almost like you can hear how it was recorded. I'm not talking about the music itself but the overall feel and vibe from the first track to the last. But the music is fantastic as well with Steve Jordan holding down the fort on drums whilst Keith does his thing on the guitar. Extremely enjoyable album, a big highlight from 2015.
Adele – 25
2015 saw the return of Adele, four years after her last album 21 was released. Even though 25 came out near the end of this year it's definitely still one of the best albums of 2015. The debut single, Hello, was released after a genius promotional video on the TV and since then she has been the talk of the town, and rightly so.
There are better songs than Hello on the album, most notably When We Were Young which in my opinion is one of the best songs of the decade so far. Yes, I just said that and I'm not taking it abck. It's absolutely incredible and there's a reason why Adele has been breaking sales records since the album dropped. Overall it's an amazing effort and it becomes even more extraordinary when compared to the utter crap that is mainstream music today.
Bob Dylan – Shadows In The Night
An album full of Frank Sinatra covers isn't exactly what you'd expect from Bob Dylan but the results here are absolutely wonderful. Dylan delivers and executes the songs perfectly and as a result you're left with one of the best albums of 2015.
Dylan has released a string of exceptional albums since the turn of the millennium and Shadows In The Night continues that run. The songs themselves are classics but the way they are delivered, the way they are played really is second to none. One of the best things about recent Dylan albums has been the overall sound and feel and that's one of the first things you think of when you put this album on. Incredible.

Dear Sir,
The instrument authenticating my last Election, as a Delegate from the State of North Carolina, is dated May the fourth, 1777. Both my Colleagues have informed me that they believed that the Election was made on April 28th preceding. The Constitution of the State requires the election of delegates to be annual, and it is a fundamental principle, that there is a fixed rule of Conduct for all the powers of the State, which can not be dispensed with or
I request you, Sir, to lay the matter before them, for their opinion, that my absenting myself may not be deemed a contempt or breach of orders. I should have submitted my difficulty at a more early day, in my place, but that I was unwilling to interrupt the attention of Congress, which was employed on objects far more important.
The same cause kept me silent on another matter, which I shall now beg leave to mention in this, which is I suppose is the only way remaining, for I hope my County has yielded to my earnest request and excused me from the Delegation.
I feel myself under a sense of very respectful obligation to you and most of the gentlemen of Congress, for the solicitude which appeared for me on a late occasion, and am persuaded that nothing but my being so unhappy in my expressions, as not clearly to convey my ideas could have occasioned a mistake which is on your journals. I am there represented as attempting to justify withdrawing from Congress, without permission in an iustance, which interrupted very important business. Such justification, Sir, is what I never did attempt, nor do I think that or any other breach of order justifiable.
My attempt was only extended to excuse my departure under particular circumstances by alleging that the same thing had been usually done by other members without reprehension and that the time and occasion were not improper for using a liberty which had been denied to no other member. I am also charged with sending an indecent message to the House which I protest was never my intention.
The matter respecting the member from New York I never conceived myself called upon to answer. But it is not of consequence enough to trouble you with. I do not mean now, Sir, to withdraw the matter from the jurisdiction of my constituents. It is in the train I wish it to be. To them I hope I can show that the House entirely mistook my meaning and when it can be done without
If the language and manner in which I delivered my sentiments was not sufficiently respectful in the opinion of the House, I beg they will attribute it to inadvertence or imperfection of temper not to design. I beg they will believe that no man is more unwilling to give offence, no man more sincerely laments it when it happens through the warmth or earnestness of natural disposition.

Apple's new takeover of Faceshift Company which is world famous for its motion capture
Have you ever heard of the Faceshift Company? Do you know what it is famous for? The Faceshift Company is famous for designing face motion capture. It is the one which has designed the "StarWars" one of the famous shows.
Apple buys the famous motion capture company in the recent past:
Apple wants to take over the Faceshift Company which has designed the "StarWars", which has become very popular in the television market because of its excellent motion capture feature. Faceshift Company is the best company in designing face motion capture which we cannot observe with other companies. That might be the reason why Apple has taken this decision.
A known fact is that already few employees of the Faceshift Company has started working in Apple and sooner Apple is going to take over all the rights of this company at a full fledge rate. Many rumors spreading across the Europe market regarding this takeover. And few people also have questions of what Apple does by capturing this company.
Many researchers across the US and Europe market says that Apple is going to design few of its features based on this motion capturing feature or it might design a new app equipped with this feature. However, any of these designs from Apple provides a great look and feel along with a great user experience. We can also have better customized camera options with this feature. Let's await for one more release of application or iOS by Apple which includes the integrated features.

Tactile toys for kids
Today we will make a fun toy for the very young! Babies get bright tactile sensations and a lot of fun! And, of course, the specific pleasure – is its production.
We will need:
tapes or cords;
wooden beads (it is important that they are not covered with varnish or paint);
grits (we used buckwheat);
thread and needle.
Cut the fabric squares. Our size 3.5×3.5 inches. But the size can be any. Also shape can be different: round or triangular.
We used three pieces, so we decided to add lace – for a variety of tactile sensations.
Fold the fabric squares inside out and sew them stitch to avoid intervals.
Gently insert the ribbon. Continue to sew. And so on each side. You can make even more ribbons, cords, various sizes, colors and textures.
On the one hand, we sew a tape loops. It is easy to hold, and you can hang the toy near the baby. Near loops leave a small hole through which all turned inside out toy.
Pour the grits and sew up the hole. Attach wooden beads at the ribbon.
Play with pleasure!

I had some fun making a stop motion video while we were in Florence for the day.
This area of Italy has been lovely, the sun has been shining and the campsite has been great , we've only had 3 nights here so it has gone very quickly but a great stop off. Tomorrow we have a long drive down to Sorrento where we will celebrate Steven's birthday and hopefully stay for a week or so to make sure we get to see everything we want to, or we might stay even longer...who knows!

Daniel Joseph Serafini (born January 25, 1974) is an American former left-handed Major League Baseball relief pitcher. He was taken in the first round (26th overall) by the Minnesota Twins in the 1992 MLB draft.
Early life
Serafini attended Junípero Serra High School. In 1991, in a 7-0 Win over Salinas High School, Serafini pitched a CIF Central Coast Section playoff no-hitter. It remains the only playoff no-hitter in school history.
Professional career
Draft and minor leagues
Serafini was a first round draft pick in the 1992 Major League Baseball Draft when the Minnesota Twins selected him as the 26th overall pick. He was drafted right out of Serra High School.
He began his professional career after signing with the Twins when he played for the rookie league team, the GCL Twins. He played in 8 games in 1992 and posted a 1-0 record with a 3.64 ERA. In 1993, he played for the Fort Wayne Wizards, the Twins Single-A team. He made 27 starts and posted a 10-8 record with a 3.65 ERA. He played for the Fort Myers Miracle, the Twins High-A team, in 1994. He made 23 starts and had a 9-9 record with a 4.61 ERA. While with the Double-A New Britain Rock Cats in 1995, he was an All-Star in the Eastern League. Overall while with the Rock Cats, he went 12-9 with a 3.37 ERA. He also made one relief appearance for the Salt Lake Buzz, the Twins Triple-A affiliate, in 1995.
Major league career
In 1996, he was rated by Baseball America as the 76th-ranked prospect in the minor leagues. He made his major league debut on June 25 against the New York Yankees. He started the game and pitched 4.1 innings, gave up 5 runs, and got the loss. It was his only major league game of the year and pitched for the Salt Lake Buzz in the remainder of the 1996 season.
He pitched in the major leagues for the Twins in parts of the 1997 and 1998 seasons. His contract was purchased by the Chicago Cubs from the Twins on March 31, 1999. He played for the Cubs for the majority of the season, going 3-2 with a 6.93 ERA in 42 games (4 starts). That year, he also made two starts for the Iowa Cubs, the Cubs' Triple-A team.
In the 1999 offseason, on December 22, he was traded to the San Diego Padres for minor league outfielder Brandon Pernell. He pitched in 3 games for the Padres and recorded an 18.00 ERA. He also played for the Triple-A Las Vegas 51s in which he had a 6.88 ERA in 26 games (4 starts). He was then traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates for minor league pitcher Andy Bausher on June 28, 2000, and was assigned to Triple-A Nashville. He made 7 starts for the Nashville Sounds, in which he went 4-3 with a 2.68 ERA. His performance earned him a callup to the Pirates major league club and he pitched in the rotation from August 5 until the end of the season, making 11 starts in which he went 2-5 with a 4.91 ERA.
He was released by the Pirates on March 20, 2001. He was signed to a minor league contract by the San Francisco Giants on March 27. He began the year with the Triple-A Fresno Grizzlies, but was released on April 24. He was then signed to a minor league contract on May 8 by the New York Mets. He played for the Triple-A Norfolk Tides before being released on August 5. He signed another minor league contract two days later, this time with the Milwaukee Brewers. He played for the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians for the rest of the 2001 season and was granted free agency on October 15.
Serafini signed with the Anaheim Angels on November 3, 2001, but was released on March 28, 2002 before the season began. He did not play in 2002 and signed with the St. Louis Cardinals on November 14, 2002. He began the 2003 season for the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds but was released on April 21, 2003, after going 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA in 3 games (2 starts). He then went to play in the Mexican League. His contract was purchased by the Cincinnati Reds on August 25, 2003 from the Mexican League. He played in his first major game since 2000 when he started a game for the Reds on August 26 against the Milwaukee Brewers. After 4 starts in which he went 0-3 with a 6.27 ERA, he was put into the bullpen for the remainder of the 2003 season. He went 1-3 with a 5.40 ERA in 10 games for the Reds in 2003. Following the season, he was granted free agency on October 4.
From 2004 to 2007, Serafini pitched in Japan. He played for the Chiba Lotte Marines in 2004 and 2005, and the Orix Buffaloes in 2006 and 2007.
Serafini returned to major league baseball in the United States on July 31, 2007, when he signed a minor league contract with the Colorado Rockies. He was assigned to the Triple-A Colorado Springs Sky Sox. He played in 11 games (3 starts) for the Sky Sox. He went 0-1 with a 3.48 ERA. On September 4, 2007, when rosters expanded, his contract was purchased by the major league club. The next day, he played in his first major league game since 2003, when he came in to pitch against the San Francisco Giants. He was used as a left-handed specialist for the Rockies. He pitched in just 3 games in his callup and had a 54.00 ERA in 1/3 innings. He became a free agent after the 2007 season.
On November 27, 2007, Major League Baseball suspended Serafini 50 games for testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance in violation of the league's joint drug prevention and treatment program. Serafini blamed the suspension on taking the substances in Japan for medical reasons as prescribed by Japanese doctors, and states he stopped taking them when he entered the US.
Serafini spent the 2008 and 2009 seasons with the Sultanes de Monterrey in the Mexican League.
In 2010, Serafini played for the Cañeros de Los Mochis in the Mexican Pacific League, the Bridgeport Bluefish of the Atlantic League, and then appeared for Mexico in the February 2011 Caribbean Series.
In 2012, Serafini began the season with the Mexican League, then ended up with the Bridgeport Bluefish of the Atlantic League. With the Bluefish he started 13 games and compiled a 4.02 ERA and 5-3 record. His last game was on August 26, 2012, vs the Sugar Land Skeeters—the day after Roger Clemens' notorious start with the same team. Although still on the Bluefish roster, Perry Miles, the voice of the Bluefish, suggested that was Serafini's last appearance of the season.
He then went back to the Mexican League, signing with the Naranjeros de Hermosillo on November 23, 2012.[1]
Current activities
Serafini currently owns the Throw Like a Pro Baseball Academy in the Sparks, Nevada area. He offers baseball players customized personal training, focused on preventing injury and the areas of mechanics, pitching, fielding, and batting.
He also owns a bar Oak Tavern (formerly The Bullpen Bar), which was featured on an episode of Bar Rescue that aired on June 28, 2015.
WCCO Error
In July 2006, a Cubs fan with a blog entitled Serafini Says was mistaken for the actual Dan Serafini by the radio station which broadcasts Twins games. The station broadcast an extended interview with the blogger without realizing its error.

Do you ever find yourself wondering what you'll do with that extra can of pumpkin? I have just the recipe for you! This is a savory Pumpkin Soufflé and the maple bacon bits add just a touch of salty sweetness. Yep, that's right. Bacon! There is nothing wrong with bacon. While it's not something you should eat on a daily basis, it can be a nice treat. Just be sure and look for a good quality bacon that is antibiotic, hormone and nitrate free. This soufflé would make a nice side to your Thanksgiving turkey. The recipe takes a bit more time than the usual Friday posts but it's not difficult. Just be sure to fold in the egg whites versus stirring them in. This will keep them from deflating and give you the light and fluffy texture that make these so darn delicious. Use a large wooden spoon and slice straight down till you touch the bottom of the bowl then scoop from the bottom and fold over on the top, turning the bowl a quarter-turn as you go. You don't want the mixture completely smooth – a few lumps left is the perfect combination.
5 slices of bacon, diced small
2 tbsp Maple Syrup
3 tbsp whole wheat flour
2 tbsp melted butter
1 15 oz. can of Pumpkin Puree
1 cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
1/4 tsp fresh nutmeg
8 egg whites
Pinch of salt
Place the bacon in a small skillet and cook over medium high heat till crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and discard greases. Place bacon back in the skillet with syrup. Bring syrup to a boil then remove from heat and set aside. Butter and flour the 6 dishes and set aside. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, cheese, egg and nutmeg. Using your electric mixer with whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites and salt on high speed until stiff. They'll hold their shape when you remove the whisk. Fold about 1/3 of the mixture into the pumpkin mixture then gently fold in the rest. Spoon pumpkin mixture into dishes about half way up the side. Smooth the tops then place them on a baking sheet. After twenty minutes in the oven, lower the heat to 375 degrees and bake for an additional 10 minutes. These will rise but not much over the tops of the dish. Divide bacon bits evenly among the soufflés and serve immediately.
