T-Shirt Yarn Posies
The other, a single strand of t-shirt yarn glued to a cardboard base in a spiral pattern. It was also topped with a button and 2 leaves made from excess t-shirt parts. The leaves were then topped stitched by sewing machine.
Braiding t-shirt yarn is fun to do. All along, I kept thinking of what a beautiful and durable rug or basket this would make. If you are interest in making t-shirt yarn, please see my tutorial here.
Something slightly different...4-ply worsted yarn and fluffy eyelash yarn held together while being crocheted with a size I hook into a loose chain before being glued into a spiral pattern onto a cardboard base.
For this flower, I chose some vintage velvet leaves for a slightly dressier look. I absolutely adore it.
Have a fabulous, flower-filled day!

The girls' beds....this is basically what they turned out looking like.
The first one is Emily's. She wanted hers to be lower than Sarah did, so this is what she and I designed. It's all just 3/4" plywood and there's a piece on the back (against the wall) to keep anything that is shoved into the cubbies from going out the other side - and to make the whole thing sturdier.
We are going to do the zebra duct tape on all of the edges - it's easier than sanding them all down and it looks cool. I think she's eventually going to paint the inside of the cubbies too, but that's up to her to decide.
Sarah wanted taller, so she designed hers to be taller - although it would drive me insane. I did put a second piece of plywood across the top of hers to further reinforce it to support the weight of her and her mattress. So far she has opted not to paint hers - we'll see if she changes her mind or not.
Both of the beds just take a standard twin-sized mattress. They are heavy and they are not going anywhere. Literally. They won't fit through the doors of the rooms.
Now on to the bigger question.....
I still don't know what to call it. It's not really a van, or a car, or an SUV. I think technically it's a crossover, whatever that means.
My minivan died a few months ago, shortly after I paid it off. So I had to get something different. But, I was in the middle of financing the house, so I couldn't run out and finance something else and risk screwing up my credit, right?
Enter the GrandpaCar - the Grand Marquis - I bought it from a friend's grandfather because I needed something that the kids and I could all fit into, but not have to be financed. It worked for us, but it was very crowded and uncomfortable.
I kept putting money aside into what I was calling the "house/van" fund - money to be used for both. I also got a very sizable tax refund which went straight into that fund. Once the house was settled and we closed and we had gotten done with the initial "big" expenses, I did some figuring and decided that I could start looking for another minivan. So I called a couple of the local dealerships and basically said "I need something used, inexpensive, mechanically sound, and can seat 7 - find it for me" and turned them loose.
One of them called me back the next day and said "I know you said minivan, but what about a Traverse? It seats 8....." The Dude and I went and looked at it with no intentions of buying it at all - I really just wanted to see how something that was NOT a minivan could seat 8 people. Long story short, I liked it. We went back home and I researched it and liked what I could find on the safety stuff and whatnot, and the price that they had on it was a couple of thousand below the blue book value. So we started talking money and I said that I was thinking about just scrapping my dead van - instead the dealership sent a couple of guys out to the house to look at it and they ended up offering me an insane (to me) amount of money in trade.
Between what they were asking for the Traverse, what I could afford to put down, and what they gave me for the dead van, I was able to get the payments under where I wanted them to be AND get a really good warranty on it. At that point, I would be stupid to not get it.....so I got it. I kept the GrandpaCar for a bunch of reasons, not the least of which is that I have a kid who will be driving in a few months - and whether she likes it or not, she can drive that. And since The Dude's truck is iffy at times, he can drive it when he needs to go out of town or whatever.
Any other questions? :)

Contract breakdown: Russell Okung's 5-year deal includes no guaranteed money
When talks to revise Ryan Clady's contract reached an impasse, the Broncos turned their attention to Russell Okung, a former first-round draft pick who played the past six seasons on the Seahawks' offensive line.
A lengthy visit resulted in a five-year pact that, when further examined, is essentially two contracts in one, both working in the Broncos' favor. Okung, who represented himself in negotiations and avoided paying a 3 percent commission fee to an agent, is guaranteed nothing, according to an NFL source.
The first part of Okung's contract is for one year and $5 million, not a penny of which is guaranteed before the start of the season. His base salary for 2016 will be $2 million, and he will get a $2 million roster bonus if he's on the active roster for at least a game. Another $1 million will come his way if he participates in at least 90 percent of the team's offseason workouts or his rehabilitation; he had shoulder surgery in January and has said he expects to be good to go by June.
If the Broncos exercise their $1 million option on Okung after the 2016 season, he could earn up to $48 million over another four years. But that is contingent upon him first making the team in 2016 and the Broncos deeming him valuable enough to keep for the additional years.
If he sticks around for all five years of the contract, Okung could earn $31 million in salary, $20 million in roster bonuses, $1 million with the 2016 workout bonus and another $1 million with the 2017 option.
But the deal Okung simply described Thursday as "a bit intricate" caused heads to shake across the NFL because of the zero guaranteed money up front. Guaranteed money is everything in a league where one hit can end a season and even a career.
Okung mastered one part of agent game: overselling the deal. Roster bonus should be now, not later, but worst case $1M to work out, then FA.
— Andrew Brandt (@AndrewBrandt) March 18, 2016
The NFLPA said it has yet to fully review the terms of Okung's deal, but added that it wouldn't comment regardless.
"We don't frown upon it," Carl Francis, the NFLPA's director of communications, said of Okung and other players representing themselves. "It's their right and their decision, and we support them in their decision."

Teaching Kids Gratitude
How one mom got her sons to go from greedy to grateful — plus, ways to encourage appreciation in your family.
The Plan to Teach Kids Gratitude
As the parents of two adolescent boys, my husband, Gordon, and I generally alternate between pride and dismay at their behavior. Mostly we get to see the good stuff, I'm glad to say. But lately the scales have begun to tip toward disappointment in one area. Will, 13, and Griffin, 11, seem to appreciate the big things we give them (the new bike, the iPod, the Hawaii vacation). But their day-to-day comments have started sounding increasingly demanding and — I hate to say it — entitled:
"Mom, I need help with my homework — NOW."
"Ewww, that looks disgusting. I'm not eating it."
"I'm not going to visit Gramma Dee. You can't make me."
I don't expect my sons to be selfless saints, but I'd like them to understand how fortunate they are and to recognize the contributions that other people (including Gordon and me) make to their lives. We already say grace, albeit speedily, before meals. But are there other ways we can teach our kids to be more grateful?
Yes, says Jeffrey Froh, PsyD, an assistant professor of psychology at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. His research shows there are plenty of good reasons to try. He recently asked one group of middle school students to list up to five things they were grateful for every day for two weeks, while a second group recorded daily hassles and a third only completed a survey. "The gratitude group experienced a jump in optimism and overall well-being," reports Froh. "Furthermore, they were more satisfied with school even three weeks later." Likewise, a Harris Interactive survey of more than 1,200 kids between the ages of 8 and 18 found that those who were grateful for what they had were also more generous, even if they were fairly materialistic.
Inspired by these findings, Gordon and I decided to try a gratitude intervention of our own. Here's what we did, and what happened.
Learning to Express Gratitude
The strategy: Openly express our own gratitude, and praise the kids when they try to follow suit. "The first step to changing kids' behavior is being good role models," says Froh.
We ease into our get-more-grateful regimen over pancakes and fruit early one morning, when Gordon declares, "Thank you for the delicious breakfast, Gin." The boys, still half asleep, munch in silence for a minute or two, then Will, the more emotionally clued-in of our kids, rouses himself and comes out with, "Yeah, thanks, Mom. Good eats." His comment gives me the opportunity to reinforce his effort. "That's nice of you to say, Will," I reply.
Over the next few days I realize that although I thought I was pretty good about saying thank you, I miss opportunities all the time — to Gordon for a quick neck rub, after the woman at the deli hands me my tea, when the UPS guy drops off a package. One night after Griffin hangs up his wet towel I kiss him on the head and tell him, "Thanks, Sweetie." Then I wonder: Should you thank kids for doing things they should be doing anyway?
Absolutely, is Froh's answer. "Saying thank you is a great way to reinforce a positive behavior," he adds. Even these small changes seem to make a difference with the boys. Already we've moved the gratitude needle. They're saying thank you more often.
Why Gratitude Is Important
The strategy: Explain why it's important to be grateful when someone helps you out. "Kids sometimes have the belief that people 'should' do things for them," says Froh, "so it's helpful to point out that people's kind deeds are often done out of the goodness of their hearts."
Will is immersed in a big homework project, and I'm helping him. We finish up at about 10:30 p.m. We're both exhausted. "You know, Will, you could say thank you," I peevishly blurt out. "Thanks, Mom," he replies sarcastically.
I want to blow up, but I bite my tongue. When I tell Froh about it, he says, "It's important to help kids understand the cost to the person who helped them and the benefit to themselves." On his suggestion, the next day I say to Will, "I was disappointed you didn't seem more grateful after I helped you with your homework. I could have been doing other things during that time — and it would have taken you even longer if I hadn't helped."
Will, to his credit, gets it: "Sorry, Mom," he says. "I am grateful. I was just being a jerk because I was tired."
Wow! I'm blown away. I can't believe how well that worked.
Write down What You Appreciate Every Day
The strategy: Every night write down what we appreciated that day — an approach that many studies have shown leads to positive change.
We quickly find that writing things down feels forced, so we simplify it, spending five minutes before bed talking about the day. Will's comments are sincere — "I'm grateful that Nathan [his teacher] let me go on the field trip even though I didn't turn in my permission slip on time." Griffin, on the other hand, often tosses off a no-brainer — "I'm grateful to you and Dad for being my parents" — or makes silly jokes like "I'm grateful for doors because we wouldn't be able to get into our house without them."
Not surprisingly, wisecracks are common among kids who aren't comfortable expressing their emotions. "It takes effort to come up with something sincere," says Froh. I decide to offer my son some coaching. The next night I say, "Hey, Griff, it was nice of Timon's mom to take you guys to the Exploratorium today." He says, "Oh, yeah. I'm grateful to Anja. That was fun." Not exactly an emotional outpouring, but it's a start.
Send Thank-You Notes
The strategy: Write appreciative letters to the important people in our lives. "Acknowledging your feelings on paper makes them more conscious and concrete," says Robert Emmons, PhD, author of Thanks! How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier (Houghton Mifflin).
A confession: I have always been terrible at this task, and equally bad about making the boys do it. So when I sit down with them one Saturday afternoon for this exercise, I feel like I'm paying penance.
And my sons do make me pay. "Mom, do we haaaave to?" asks Griffin plaintively. "Yeah, c'mon Mom. It's so nice outside. Can't we do this some other time?" asks Will.
After a good 15 minutes of sulking, they finally start scribbling. Griffin writes a note to my father, who is hosting us for a holiday ski vacation. His letter is short, but he embellishes it with a nice drawing of a skier cruising down a steep slope; Grandpa will love it. Will writes to a friend's mom, who often brings him a snack when she picks him up after school.
They bolt out the door as soon as they're done, leaving paper and colored pencils scattered all over the table. I'd like to say the hassle was worth the reward, but I'm not sure.
Give to Others
The strategy: Volunteer as a family at a local charity. "Showing privileged kids that everyone doesn't have the same advantages makes them more appreciative," says Jean Fitzpatrick, a pastoral psychotherapist in New York City.
We sign up to help serve soup to the homeless at a local church. The first night our sons are terrified. The moment we arrive, they make a beeline for the kitchen, where they stay all night doing dishes. (Even though it's the chore they hate at home.) "That was really scary," says Will afterward. "Are those guys dangerous?"
We explain to the boys that most homeless people are harmless and are just down on their luck. The next week, however, they're both still sticking close to Gordon and me. But finally, during our third visit, they venture into the dining room and talk with some of the guys there. One man pulls out a guitar and another has some bongo drums, and they begin playing. Will and Griff hang out and chat with them between songs.
That night I go into their room for our things-we're-grateful-for routine, and find them intent on pulling out toy after toy from an old bin. "What are you doing making such a mess at this hour?" I ask, unable to conceal my irritation.
Will looks up at me, surprised. "Jeez, Mom, chill. We're getting some toys together to give to kids who don't have as many as we do." I slink away to get some bags, feeling guilty and proud in equal measure.
A few days later, Griff and I are in the car when he says, "Quick! Roll down the window! There's Jose, one of the homeless guys!" We slow down and call out a hello to Jose, then Griff says, "I hope he has a place to sleep tonight."
"Me, too, Honey," I say.
"You know, Mom, we're really lucky," he says authoritatively.
To which I, with a grateful heart, reply, "Yeah, Griff, we are."
How Some Moms Are Teaching Their Families Gratitude
Making a Thankful Tree
"Part of our Thanksgiving tradition is to make a poster board Thankful Tree," says Susan Cronk, mother of two, ages 11 and 14, in San Anselmo, California. "We cut out a pile of construction paper leaves, then write on them what we're grateful for and hang them up."
Pennies from Heaven
"We put our change in a 'Pennies from Heaven' jar," says Barbara Owens, mother of four, ages 10, 12, 16, and 20, in Manalapan, New Jersey. "Every time something devastating happens in the world, we sit down and talk about how blessed we are, then send a contribution."
Karma Coins
"Our family uses what we call 'Karma Coins,'" says Julie Watson Smith, mother of three, ages 4, 6, and 7, in Encinitas, California. "These are actually just check marks on a chart that we give out to other family members when we 'catch' them doing something above and beyond what would be expected. Each 'coin' is good for 10 minutes of a favorite activity — playing video games, watching TV, or whatever."
Discussing Political Issues
"I help my son be aware of what's good in his life by discussing political issues with him," says Gabrielle Hamilton, mother of a 9-year-old, in Glen Head, New York. "This fall he's been coming with me to register voters so he can experience working for what he believes in."

It's been a hard-fought battle to preserve Edgewood Plaza, the only shopping center Joe Eichler developed. But after a 10-year struggle to keep the center from being torn down, a new grocery store has opened as an anchor tenant that celebrates the A. Quincy Jones-designed structure's Eichler heritage.
Fresh Market is the centerpiece of Sand Hill Property Co.'s renovation of Edgewood Plaza, which the company is carrying out after a 10-year battle with neighbors and preservationists opposed to its original plan to raze the shopping center and redevelop it into retail and homes.
The high-end food market will feature on its walls 10 photos from famed Eichler photographer Ernie Braun, and has been designed to emphasize its unique Eichler characteristics. The Palo Alto Daily News spoke with Fresh Market spokeswoman Drewry Sackett:
In some ways, though, the Palo Alto location isn't a typical Fresh Market, Sackett said. It was designed to emphasize its Eichler characteristics, from the original wooden beams running the width of the building to a bank of windows that flood the interior with natural light.
The interior was inspired by the original architecture of the building," she said, adding that most locations have dark red floors and ceilings. "It's a real combination of things we've been able to either preserve, reproduce, bring back to their original state or do something with a similar look and feel.
The grocery store will likely fit in well with the family-oriented neighborhood surrounding it. And it should also please neighbors dismayed by the demolition of one of the center's original buildings, which was supposed to have been deconstructed and moved, but which was largely splintered last year.
The Edgewood refurbishment "also calls for additional neighborhood-serving retail, 10 single-family homes, and a small park," the Daily News reports, but Fresh Market is probably worth a visit now, for the curious Eichler fan, if only to check out the new interior and those large-scale Braun prints while enjoying an organic apple cider.

Mr Drew,ReplyDelete
First of all, let me tell you that this blog is just amazing. The more I read you, the more I spend $. I think I'm addict.
So, it's not my habit to post comment but I'm just to exited with the news of a new book by T. Smith. Any details about Rethinking Shiloh? I read on your blog that he's working on a Shiloh book with UPK, so I guess his Rethinking Shiloh is not like his Corinth book and that we'll have to wait ?
Thank you. I'm glad you like it, and the authors and publishers are undoubtedly pleased at your addiction to collecting their books!Delete
About Smith's "Rethinking Shiloh" book, at this time all I know about it is the title and around when it will be released (March). We'll at least have a description when the full catalog is available for download.
I haven't read any more news about how far his Shiloh book that will be published by Kansas has progressed. We do know it's not in the SS '13 catalog.

Google's OAuth 2.0 APIs can be used for both authentication and authorization. This document describes our OAuth 2.0 implementation for authentication, which conforms to the OpenID Connect specification, and is OpenID Certified. The documentation found in Using OAuth 2.0 to Access Google APIs also applies to this service. If you want to explore this protocol interactively, we recommend the Google OAuth 2.0 Playground. To get help on Stack Overflow, tag your questions with 'google-oauth'.
Setting up OAuth 2.0
Before your application can use Google's OAuth 2.0 authentication system for user login, you must set up a project in the Google API Console to obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials, set a redirect URI, and (optionally) customize the branding information that your users see on the user-consent screen. You can also use the API Console to create a service account, enable billing, set up filtering, and do other tasks. For more details, see the Google API Console Help.
Obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials
You need OAuth 2.0 credentials, including a client ID and client secret, to authenticate users and gain access to Google's APIs.
To find your project's client ID and client secret, do the following:
- Select an existing OAuth 2.0 credential or open the Credentials page.
- If you haven't done so already, create your project's OAuth 2.0 credentials by clicking Create credentials > OAuth client ID, and providing the information needed to create the credentials.
- Look for the Client ID in the OAuth 2.0 client IDs section. For details, click the client ID.
Set a redirect URI
The redirect URI that you set in the API Console determines where Google sends responses to your authentication requests.
To find the redirect URIs for your OAuth 2.0 credentials, do the following:
- Open the Credentials page in the API Console.
- If you haven't done so already, create your OAuth 2.0 credentials by clicking Create credentials > OAuth client ID.
- After you create your credentials, view or edit the redirect URLs by clicking the client ID (for a web application) in the OAuth 2.0 client IDs section.
Customize the user consent screen
For your users, the OAuth 2.0 authentication experience includes a consent screen that
describes the information that the user is releasing and the terms that apply. For example, when the user logs in,
they might be asked to give your app access to their email address and basic account information. You request
access to this information using the
scope parameter, which your app
includes in
its authentication request. You can also use scopes
to request access to other Google APIs.
The user consent screen also presents branding information such as your product name, logo, and a homepage URL. You control the branding information in the API Console.
To set up your project's consent screen, do the following:
- Open the Consent Screen page in the Google API Console. If prompted, select a project or create a new one.
- Fill out the form and click Save.
The following consent dialog shows what a user would see when a combination of OAuth 2.0 and Google Drive scopes are present in the request. (This generic dialog was generated using the Google OAuth 2.0 Playground, so it does not include branding information that would be set in the API Console.)
Accessing the service
Google and third parties provide libraries that you can use to take care of many of the implementation details of authenticating users and gaining access to Google APIs. Examples include Google Sign-In and the Google client libraries, which are available for a variety of platforms.
If you choose not to use a library, follow the instructions in the remainder of this document, which describes the HTTP request flows that underly the available libraries.
Authenticating the user
Authenticating the user involves obtaining an ID token and validating it. ID tokens are a standardized feature of OpenID Connect designed for use in sharing identity assertions on the Internet.
This document describes how to perform the server flow for authenticating the user. The implicit flow is significantly more complicated because of security risks in handling and using tokens on the client side. If you need to implement an implicit flow, we highly recommend using Google Sign-In.
Server flow
Make sure you set up your app in the API Console to enable it to use these protocols and authenticate your users. When a user tries to log in with Google, you need to:
- Create an anti-forgery state token
- Send an authentication request to Google
- Confirm the anti-forgery state token
- Exchange
codefor access token and ID token
- Obtain user information from the ID token
- Authenticate the user
1. Create an anti-forgery state token
You must protect the security of your users by preventing request forgery attacks. The first step is creating a unique session token that holds state between your app and the user's client. You later match this unique session token with the authentication response returned by the Google OAuth Login service to verify that the user is making the request and not a malicious attacker. These tokens are often referred to as cross-site request forgery (CSRF) tokens.
One good choice for a state token is a string of 30 or so characters constructed using a high-quality random-number generator. Another is a hash generated by signing some of your session state variables with a key that is kept secret on your back-end.
The following code demonstrates generating unique session tokens.
PHPYou must download the Google APIs client library for PHP to use this sample.
// Create a state token to prevent request forgery. // Store it in the session for later validation. $state = sha1(openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(1024)); $app['session']->set('state', $state); // Set the client ID, token state, and application name in the HTML while // serving it. return $app['twig']->render('index.html', array( 'CLIENT_ID' => CLIENT_ID, 'STATE' => $state, 'APPLICATION_NAME' => APPLICATION_NAME ));
JavaYou must download the Google APIs client library for Java to use this sample.
// Create a state token to prevent request forgery. // Store it in the session for later validation. String state = new BigInteger(130, new SecureRandom()).toString(32); request.session().attribute("state", state); // Read index.html into memory, and set the client ID, // token state, and application name in the HTML before serving it. return new Scanner(new File("index.html"), "UTF-8") .useDelimiter("\\A").next() .replaceAll("[{]{2}\\s*CLIENT_ID\\s*[}]{2}", CLIENT_ID) .replaceAll("[{]{2}\\s*STATE\\s*[}]{2}", state) .replaceAll("[{]{2}\\s*APPLICATION_NAME\\s*[}]{2}", APPLICATION_NAME);
PythonYou must download the Google APIs client library for Python to use this sample.
# Create a state token to prevent request forgery. # Store it in the session for later validation. state = hashlib.sha256(os.urandom(1024)).hexdigest() session['state'] = state # Set the client ID, token state, and application name in the HTML while # serving it. response = make_response( render_template('index.html', CLIENT_ID=CLIENT_ID, STATE=state, APPLICATION_NAME=APPLICATION_NAME))
2. Send an authentication request to Google
The next step is forming an HTTPS
GET request with the appropriate URI parameters. Note the use of HTTPS rather than HTTP in all the steps of this process; HTTP connections are refused. You should retrieve the base URI from the Discovery document using the key
authorization_endpoint. The following discussion assumes the base URI is
For a basic request, specify the following parameters:
client_id, which you obtain from the API Console.
response_type, which in a basic request should be

scope, which in a basic request should be
openid email. (Read more at
redirect_urishould be the HTTP endpoint on your server that will receive the response from Google. The value must exactly match one of the authorized redirect URIs for the OAuth 2.0 client, which you configured in the API Console. If this value doesn't match an authorized URI, you will get a 'redirect_uri_mismatch' error.

login_hintcan be the user's email address or the
substring, which is equivalent to the user's Google ID. If you do not provide a
login_hintand the user is currently logged in, the consent screen includes a request for approval to release the user's email address to your app. (Read more at
- Use the
openid.realmif you are migrating an existing application from OpenID 2.0 to OpenID Connect.
- Use the
hdparameter to optimize the OpenID Connect flow for users of a particular G Suite domain. (Read more at
Here is an example of a complete OpenID Connect authentication URI, with line breaks and spaces for readability:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth? client_id=424911365001.apps.googleusercontent.com& response_type=code& scope=openid%20email& redirect_uri=https://oauth2-login-demo.example.com/code& state=security_token%3D138r5719ru3e1%26url%3Dhttps://oauth2-login-demo.example.com/myHome& firstname.lastname@example.com& openid.realm=example.com& nonce=0394852-3190485-2490358& hd=example.com
Users are required to give consent if your app requests any new information about them, or if your app requests account access that they have not previously approved.
3. Confirm anti-forgery state token
The response is sent to the
redirect_uri that you specified in the
request. All responses are returned in the query string, as shown below:
On the server, you must confirm that the
state received from Google
matches the session token you created in Step 1.
This round-trip verification helps to ensure that the user, not a malicious script, is making
the request.
The following code demonstrates confirming the session tokens that you created in Step 1:
PHPYou must download the Google APIs client library for PHP to use this sample.
// Ensure that there is no request forgery going on, and that the user // sending us this connect request is the user that was supposed to. if ($request->get('state') != ($app['session']->get('state'))) { return new Response('Invalid state parameter', 401); }
JavaYou must download the Google APIs client library for Java to use this sample.
// Ensure that there is no request forgery going on, and that the user // sending us this connect request is the user that was supposed to. if (!request.queryParams("state").equals( request.session().attribute("state"))) { response.status(401); return GSON.toJson("Invalid state parameter."); }
PythonYou must download the Google APIs client library for Python to use this sample.
# Ensure that the request is not a forgery and that the user sending # this connect request is the expected user. if request.args.get('state', '') != session['state']: response = make_response(json.dumps('Invalid state parameter.'), 401) response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json' return response
4. Exchange
code for access token and ID token
The response includes a
code parameter, a one-time authorization code that your server
can exchange for an access token and ID token. Your server makes this exchange by sending an HTTPS
POST request.
POST request is sent to the token endpoint, which you should retrieve from the Discovery document using the key
token_endpoint. The following discussion assumes the endpoint is
https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token. The request must include the following parameters in the
POST body:
|The authorization code that is returned from the initial request.
|The client ID that you obtain from the API Console, as described in Obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials.
|The client secret that you obtain from the API Console, as described in Obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials.
|The URI that you specify in the API Console, as described in Set a redirect URI.
|This field must contain a value of
authorization_code, as defined in the OAuth 2.0 specification.
The actual request might look like the following example:
POST /oauth2/v4/token HTTP/1.1 Host: www.googleapis.com Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded code=4/P7q7W91a-oMsCeLvIaQm6bTrgtp7& client_id=8819981768.apps.googleusercontent.com& client_secret={client_secret}& redirect_uri=https://oauth2-login-demo.example.com/code& grant_type=authorization_code
A successful response to this request contains the following fields in a JSON array:
|A token that can be sent to a Google API.
|A JWT that contains identity information about the user that is digitally signed by Google.
|The remaining lifetime of the access token.
|Identifies the type of token returned. At this time, this field always has the value
refresh_token (optional)
|This field is only present if
access_type=offline is included in
the authentication request. For details, see
Refresh tokens.
5. Obtain user information from the ID token
An ID Token is a JWT (JSON Web Token), that is, a cryptographically signed Base64-encoded JSON object. Normally, it is critical that you validate an ID token before you use it, but since you are communicating directly with Google over an intermediary-free HTTPS channel and using your client secret to authenticate yourself to Google, you can be confident that the token you receive really comes from Google and is valid. If your server passes the ID token to other components of your app, it is extremely important that the other components validate the token before using it.
Since most API libraries combine the validation with the work of decoding the base64 and parsing the JSON, you will probably end up validating the token anyway as you access the fields in the ID token.An ID token's payload
An ID token is a JSON object containing a set of name/value pairs. Here's an example, formatted for readability:
{ "iss": "accounts.google.com", "at_hash": "HK6E_P6Dh8Y93mRNtsDB1Q", "email_verified": "true", "sub": "10769150350006150715113082367", "azp": "1234987819200.apps.googleusercontent.com", "email": "firstname.lastname@example.com", "aud": "1234987819200.apps.googleusercontent.com", "iat": 1353601026, "exp": 1353604926, "nonce": "0394852-3190485-2490358", "hd": "example.com" }
Google ID Tokens may contain the following fields (known as claims):
|The Issuer Identifier for the Issuer of the response. Always
https://accounts.google.com or
accounts.google.com for Google ID tokens.
|Access token hash. Provides validation that the access token is tied to the identity token. If the ID token is issued with an access token in the server flow, this is always included. This can be used as an alternate mechanism to protect against cross-site request forgery attacks, but if you follow Step 1 and Step 3 it is not necessary to verify the access token.
|True if the user's e-mail address has been verified; otherwise false.
An identifier for the user, unique among all Google accounts and never reused. A Google account can have multiple emails at different points in time, but the
sub value is never changed. Use
sub within your application as the unique-identifier key for the user.
client_id of the authorized presenter. This claim is only needed when the party requesting the ID token is not the same as the audience of the ID token. This may be the case at Google for hybrid apps where a web application and Android app have a different
client_id but share the same project.
|The user's email address. This may not be unique and is not suitable for use as a primary key. Provided only if your scope included the string "email".
The URL of the user's profile page. Might be provided when:
profile claims are present, you can use them to update your
app's user records. Note that this claim is never guaranteed to be present.
The URL of the user's profile picture. Might be provided when:
picture claims are present, you can use them to update your
app's user records. Note that this claim is never guaranteed to be present.
The user's full name, in a displayable form. Might be provided when:
name claims are present, you can use them to update your
app's user records. Note that this claim is never guaranteed to be present.
|Identifies the audience that this ID token is intended for. It must be one of the OAuth 2.0 client IDs of your application.
|The time the ID token was issued, represented in Unix time (integer seconds).
|The time the ID token expires, represented in Unix time (integer seconds).
|The value of the nonce supplied by your app in the authentication request. You should enforce protection against replay attacks by ensuring it is presented only once.
|The hosted G Suite domain of the user. Provided only if the user belongs to a hosted domain.
6. Authenticate the user
After obtaining user information from the ID token, you should query your app's user database. If the user already exists in your database, you should start an application session for that user.
If the user does not exist in your user database, you should redirect the user to your new-user sign-up flow. You may be able to auto-register the user based on the information you receive from Google, or at the very least you may be able to pre-populate many of the fields that you require on your registration form. In addition to the information in the ID token, you can get additional user profile information at our user profile endpoints.
Advanced topics
The following sections describe the Google OAuth 2.0 API in greater detail. This information is intended for developers with advanced requirements around authentication and authorization.
Access to other Google APIs
One of the advantages of using OAuth 2.0 for authentication is that your application can get
permission to use other Google APIs (such as YouTube, Google Drive, Calendar, or Contacts) at the same
time as you authenticate the user. To do this, include the other scopes that you need in the authentication request that you send to Google. For example, to add Google
Drive access to your authentication request, pass a scope parameter of
email https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive. The user is prompted appropriately on the consent screen. The access token that you receive back from Google
allows you to access all the APIs related to the scopes you requested.
Refresh tokens
In your request for API access you can request a refresh token to be returned during the
code exchange. A refresh token provides your app continuous access to
Google APIs while the user is not logged into your application. To request a
refresh token, add
access_type=offline to the authentication request.
- Be sure to store the refresh token safely and permanently, because you can only obtain a refresh token the first time that you perform the code exchange flow.
- There are limits on the number of refresh token that are issued—one limit per client/user combination, and another per user across all clients. If your application requests too many refresh tokens, it may run into these limits, in which case older refresh tokens stop working.
For more information, see Refreshing an access token (offline access).
Prompting re-consent
You can prompt the user to re-authorize your app by adding the
prompt=consent parameter
to the authentication request. When
prompt=consent is
included, the consent screen is displayed every time the user logs into your app. For this reason,
prompt=consent only when necessary.
For more about the
prompt parameter, see prompt in the URI parameter table.
Authentication URI parameters
The following table gives more complete descriptions of the parameters accepted by Google's OAuth 2.0 authentication API.
|The client ID string that you obtain from the API Console, as described in Obtain OAuth 2.0 credentials.
|If the value is
code, launches a Basic flow, requiring a
POST to the token endpoint to obtain the tokens. If the value is
token id_token or
id_token token, launches an Implicit flow, requiring the use of Javascript at the redirect URI to retrieve tokens from the URI
The scope value must begin with the string
A random value generated by your app that enables replay protection.
|Determines where the response is sent. The value of this parameter must exactly match one of the values that you set in the Google API Console (including the HTTP or HTTPS scheme, case, and trailing '/', if any).
|(Optional, but strongly recommended)
An opaque string that is round-tripped in the protocol; that is to say, it is returned as a
URI parameter in the Basic flow, and in the URI
|A space-delimited list of string values that specifies whether the authorization server prompts the user for reauthentication and consent. The possible values are:
|An ASCII string value for specifying how the authorization server displays the authentication and consent user interface pages. The following values are specified, and accepted by the Google servers, but do not have any effect on its behavior:
touch, and
|When your app knows which user it is trying to authenticate, it can provide this parameter as
a hint to the authentication server. Passing this hint suppresses the account chooser and either
pre-fill the email box on the sign-in form, or select the proper session (if the user is using
sign-in), which can help you avoid problems that occur if your app logs in the wrong
user account. The value can be either an email
address or the
sub string, which is equivalent to the user's Google ID.
|The allowed values are
offline and
online. The effect is documented in Offline Access; if an access token is being requested, the client does not receive a refresh token unless
offline is specified.
true or
| If this is provided with the value
true, and the authorization request is granted, the authorization will include any previous authorizations granted to this user/application combination for other scopes; see Incremental Authorization.
Note that you cannot do incremental authorization with the Installed App flow.
openid.realm is a parameter from the OpenID 2.0 protocol, not from OAuth 2.0.
It is used in OpenID 2.0 requests to signify the URL-space for which an
authentication request is valid. Use
openid.realm if you are migrating an existing application from
OpenID 2.0 to OpenID Connect.
Don't rely on this UI optimization to control who can access your app,
as client-side requests can be modified. Be sure to validate
that the returned ID token has an
Validating an ID token
You need to validate all ID tokens on your server unless you know that they came directly from Google. For example, your server must verify as authentic any ID tokens it receives from your client apps.
The following are common situations where you might send ID tokens to your server:
- Sending ID tokens with requests that need to be authenticated. The ID tokens tell you the particular user making the request and for which client that ID token was granted.
Sending ID tokens that contain OpenID 2.0 identifiers (
openid_id) that need to be mapped to the Google ID (
ID tokens are sensitive and can be misused if intercepted. You must ensure that these tokens are handled securely by transmitting them only over HTTPS and only via POST data or within request headers. If you store them on your server, you must also store them securely.
One thing that makes ID tokens useful is that fact that you can pass them around different components of your app. These components can use an ID token as a lightweight authentication mechanism authenticating the app and the user. But before you can use the information in the ID token or rely on it as an assertion that the user has authenticated, you must validate it.Validation of an ID token requires several steps:
- Verify that the ID token is properly signed by the issuer. Google-issued
tokens are signed using one of the certificates found at the URI specified in
jwks_urifield of the discovery document.
- Verify that the value of
issin the ID token is equal to
- Verify that the value of
audin the ID token is equal to your app's client ID.
- Verify that the expiry time (
exp) of the ID token has not passed.
- If you passed a hd parameter in the request, verify that the ID token has a
hdclaim that matches your G Suite hosted domain.
Steps 2 to 5 involve only string and date comparisons which are quite straight forward, so we won't detail them here.
The first step is more complex, and involves cryptographic signature checking. For debugging purposes, you can use Google's
tokeninfo endpoint. Suppose your ID token's value is
XYZ123. Then you would dereference the URI
https://oauth2.googleapis.com/tokeninfo?id_token=XYZ123. If the token is valid, the response would be its decoded JSON form.
This involves an HTTP round trip, introducing latency and the potential for network breakage. The
tokeninfo endpoint is useful for debugging but for production purposes, retrieve Google's public keys from the keys endpoint and perform the validation locally. You should retrieve the keys URI from the Discovery document using the key
Since Google changes its public keys only infrequently (on the order of once per day), you can cache them and, in the vast majority of cases, perform local validation much more efficiently than by using the
tokeninfo endpoint. This requires retrieving and parsing certificates, and making the appropriate crypto calls to check the signature. Fortunately, there are well-debugged libraries available in a wide variety of languages to accomplish this (see jwt.io).
Obtaining user profile information
To obtain additional profile information about the user, you can use the access token (which your application receives during the authentication flow) and the OpenID Connect standard:
To be OpenID-compliant, you must include the
openid profilescope in your authentication request.
If you want the user's email address to be included, you can optionally request the
openid emailscope. To specify both
- Add your access token to the authorization header and make an HTTPS
GETrequest to the userinfo endpoint, which you should retrieve from the Discovery document using the key
userinfo_endpoint. The response includes information about the user, as described in
OpenID Connect Standard Claims. Users may choose to supply or withhold certain fields, so you might not get information for every field to which your scopes request access.
The Discovery document
The OpenID Connect protocol requires the use of multiple endpoints for authenticating users, and for requesting resources including tokens, user information, and public keys.
To simplify implementations and increase flexibility, OpenID Connect allows the use of a "Discovery document," a JSON document found at a well-known location containing key-value pairs which provide details about the OpenID Connect provider's configuration, including the URIs of the authorization, token, userinfo, and public-keys endpoints. The Discovery document for Google's OpenID Connect service may be retrieved from:
To use Google's OpenID Connect services, you should hard-code the Discovery-document URI
https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration) into your application.
Your application fetches the document, then retrieves endpoint URIs from it as needed.
For example, to authenticate a user, your code would retrieve the value of the
authorization_endpoint key and use its value
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth in the example below)
as the base URI for authentication requests that are sent to Google.
Here is an example of such a document; the field names are those specified in OpenID Connect Discovery 1.0 (refer to that document for their meanings). The values are purely illustrative and might change, although they are copied from from a recent version of the actual Google Discovery document:
{ "issuer": "https://accounts.google.com", "authorization_endpoint": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth", "token_endpoint": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token", "userinfo_endpoint": "https://openidconnect.googleapis.com/v1/userinfo", "revocation_endpoint": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/revoke", "jwks_uri": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs", "response_types_supported": [ "code", "token", "id_token", "code token", "code id_token", "token id_token", "code token id_token", "none" ], "subject_types_supported": [ "public" ], "id_token_signing_alg_values_supported": [ "RS256" ], "scopes_supported": [ "openid", "email", "profile" ], "token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported": [ "client_secret_post", "client_secret_basic" ], "claims_supported": [ "aud", "email", "email_verified", "exp", "family_name", "given_name", "iat", "iss", "locale", "name", "picture", "sub" ], "code_challenge_methods_supported": [ "plain", "S256" ] }
You may be able to avoid an HTTP round-trip by caching the values from the Discovery document. Standard HTTP caching headers are used and should be respected.
Client libraries
The following client libraries make implementing OAuth 2.0 simpler by integrating with popular frameworks:
OpenID Connect compliance
Google's OAuth 2.0 authentication system supports the required features of the OpenID Connect Core specification. Any client which is designed to work with OpenID Connect should interoperate with this service (with the exception of the OpenID Request Object).

Helton sits, Giambi gets 1st start
Todd Helton, TV remote in hand, spent extra time lounging in the purple recliners in the Rockies' clubhouse this morning. He could afford to kick back. He's getting a rare day off to recharge his late-season battery.
Jason Giambi, who has four RBIs and two-game winning hits in three games with the Rockies since getting called up from Triple-A, starts at first base as the Rockies attempt to sweep the Diamondbacks and keep their wild-card lead.
In other Rockies news, injured starter Aaron Cook remains optimistic he will pitch again this season, but he's not sure when. He's thrown pain free – on a line – from as far as 150 feet, but he says he still "feels a little pinch" in his right shoulder when he tries to throw downhill (i.e. from the mound).
Dexter Fowler began his rehab Saturday night with Double-A Tulsa. He went 0-for-2 with a walk. The best news is that his bruised knee seems to be close to 100 percent healed. He's scheduled to DH for the Drillers today, play nine innings on Monday, then be reevaluated by the Rockies on Tuesday. There is a chance he could be activated in time for Tuesday night's game against the Reds, but Wednesday is looking more realistic.
Here are the lineups for this afternoon's game:

Composted Manure and Pass-Through Pesticidess
A unique, quick, fun way to meet people, WooMe offers free online speed dating services to anyone willing to maneuver through their very simple sign up process. With a sexy interface, fast video transfer speed, decent search features and a fair (but not great) number of users, the only thing that WooMe lacks is the ability to speed 'date' for more than one minute at a time. Overview from WooMe Online chat rooms are great for when you want to have a phone-free conference with friends, family members, co-workers, etc. Just one problem: Most chat options require some kind of software (AIM, Yahoo Messenger, etc.). That's a hassle when all you need is a temporary, one-time room. Enter Tinychat, the Web's answer to pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms. You pop in, do your thing, then hit the road. Except here you don't even have to register at the front desk, and there's no payment involved: the service is free. Using Tinychat couldn't be simplier. Just click Create your room to generate a URL you can send to others, or click one of the social-network icons (Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter) to invite people in your personal network(s). Tinychat works entirely inside your browser, so there's nothing for you or your invitees to install. Nor does the service require any kind of sign-up or registration--not even an e-mail address. That makes all the more amazing the breadth of features available here, including screen sharing, video broadcasting, and the option to save your chat as a Word document. Signing up for Tinychat Pro ($14.95 monthly) nets you even more features, like five "permanent" chat rooms, higher-quality video, and so on. But I think most users will be perfectly satisfied with the free version, which deftly caters to anyone needing a quick, easy, disposable chat room. Rick Broida "WooMe brings the speed dating craze online and extends it to let users meet new people live in fast, fun and free speed sessions. There are no long forms or lengthy profile descriptions, simply find a session that interests you and meet 5 people in 5 minutes." What a WooMe Membership Includes WooMe offers anyone, anywhere, the opportunity to meet with up to five other people, online, through free video conferencing technology. Users have to provide the computer, microphone, web cam and speakers, but WooMe takes care of the rest. After a very quick sign up process and a slick interface, WooMe members can either create their own video conference, or search for others to join. The search capability isn't complex but it does the trick: as soon as you fill out the membership form, you'll be presented with a list of WooMe members whose meetings start in mere minutes. You can also search by geography (so far only the UK and USA are listed as options), sex (male, female or show both sexes), and interests. One you join a teleconferencing session, you are either placed in a queue to meet, or have people queued up to meet you. Each meeting lasts a mere minute, with sound and video quality only as good as the person transmitting the signal. (Meaning: check your web cam and microphone beforehand). Afterwards, you'll be given a graphic interface that asks you if you were "woo'd" by the person you just met, or not.

As well, WooMe isn't just for dating; it could also be used to meet new people with similar hobbies and/or interests. WooMe is still in beta testing and is almost completely free. Users can meet with anyone else on the site, but if you've been "woo'd", you'll be asked to pay $1 to get each other's contact information. Keeping in mind the time factor - where all of the online speed 'dates' take only a minute - WooMe is specifically geared towards the younger generation that enjoys using social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace for quick, simple introductions that aren't weighed down by needing to use a credit card or investing hours of time emailing back and forth just to meet someone new. Because of this, the majority of WooMe users are well under the age of 30.

How Dan is not the GMD
Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Cruise. They're both un-tall. And both rather earnest. And eager to the point of not-coolness...which is cool in Dan's case because it's refreshing a young man of his age who doesn't feel the need to conform to the brooding, hair in my face, dirty clothes ennui that so many of his contemporaries have succumbed to; and uncool in Tom's case because, well, the eagerness is what happens when he gets off his motorcycle, in a display of manliness so studied it almost makes you angry how hard he tries. Dan is proof you can be enthusiastic and animated without losing authenticity or appeal.
This is Dan hand in hand with his girlfriend yesterday in New York. Not sure who she is. There was some speculation that he was involved with a bad girl relative of one of the Harry Potter producers - click here for more on that. My eyes are buggy but I don't think that's the same person.
Whatever. Her identity doesn't matter. What matters is that he very publicly declared his love for her a couple of months ago during an interview with Larry King.
"I've got a girlfriend at the moment who I am very much in love with. So you know, we'll see where that goes."
Just kinda offered up the information, without being pressed. And this is generally the way Daniel is in interviews - he is always a great interview - but there was also something of the love burst in him there, the way you are when you're so into a person, probably early in the relationship, when everything but everything reminds you of them, and you want to talk about them when you're not with them, and just saying their name is like a little lift in your stomach, and this, supposedly, is what happened to Tom Cruise the day he jumped on Oprah's couch, you remember? He had the love burst. Every answer to every question he was like - what? Katie? And Oprah's all like - oh boy, you got it bad. And the rest of us were all like - oh no, why are you making me want to DIE?
What's the difference between how Daniel delivered it, and how Tom did? And our reactions to both? Perhaps it's because Tom kept going there, even after he'd made it obvious. There was never any pull back. Please! HE DOESN'T PULL BACK, HE'S TOM CRUISE! FULL THROTTLE TOO CLOSE FOR MISSILES I'M SWITCHING TO GUNS!!!
Great. But his guns can be a little too much in my face. And this is why we so doubted it. Is he trying to convince us that he loves her? Or is he trying to convince himself? As opposed to Daniel Radcliffe who doesn't seem like he gives a sh-t about trying to convince anyone , either about his girlfriend or about being gay or not gay which, you know, sometimes the bigger the fighter jet, the more obvious the secret, but then again Tom Cruise has never really understood subtlety.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Taber Spani scored a career-high 24 points and Meighan Simmons added 23 as No. 9 Tennessee beat Vanderbilt 83-75 Thursday night for the Lady Vols' ninth straight victory.
With No. 5 Kentucky losing to No. 18 South Carolina earlier in the night, Tennessee (16-3, 7-0) is the Southeastern Conference's last undefeated team in league play.
The Lady Vols have won 11 straight SEC games dating back to last season and a loss here at Memorial Gym. They got a small measure of payback by beating Vanderbilt for the 25th time in 27 games in this series.
Bashaara Graves also had 16 points for Tennessee.
Vanderbilt (13-6, 3-3) lost for the first time at home this season and has lost three of four overall. The Commodores played without 6-foot-4 sophomore Clair Watkins, who tore her left anterior cruciate ligament in practice Wednesday.
Christina Foggie led Vandy with 22 points, Tiffany Clarke had 19 and Kady Schrann 14.
The Commodores managed to tie the score twice, the second time at 41 after scoring the first 12 points of the second half. The Lady Vols answered with an 11-2 spurt capped by a drive by Simmons with 12:45 to go, and Vanderbilt couldn't get closer than five the rest of the way. Tennessee hit 14 of 15 at the line in the final 3:49 to seal the victory.
The Commodores came in as the SEC's second-best team beyond the arc, shooting 36.4 percent from 3-point range. They shot 21.7 percent (5 of 23) and missed three 3s in the final minutes with a chance to make it a one-score game.
Tennessee had coach emeritus Pat Summitt sitting on the front row behind their bench right beside Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, and she watched the Lady Vols do what they usually do in Nashville. The Lady Vols now are 61-8 all-time against Vanderbilt in this in-state rivalry and 24-6 in Nashville.
The Lady Vols grabbed control from the start on a jumper by Isabelle Harrison, whose father Dennis played football for Vanderbilt in the 1970s. Vanderbilt managed to tie it up at 4 before Simmons hit a 3-pointer to put Tennessee ahead to stay. Simmons followed with another 3 and celebrated as she ran backward down the court signaling three with each hand.
Spani hit her first two 3s as well as the Lady Vols quickly pushed the lead to double digits. Even when something went wrong for the Lady Vols when Simmons missed a layup off the fast-break after moving the ball behind her back, Kamiko Williams was there to rebound the miss and put it back up for a bucket.
Tennessee led by as much as 15 with 1:50 left on Spani's third 3 of the half, and the Lady Vols led 41-29 at halftime.
But Lister answered Spani's 3 with her own before halftime, and Vanderbilt scored the first 12 points of the second half to tie it up for the second time at 41 on Lister's 3 with 16:07 left. The Lady Vols missed their first six shots with Vanderbilt swatting away four of them.
Graves scored on a layup with 14:58 remaining to put Tennessee ahead to stay as the Lady Vols scored 11 of the next 13.

Data dashboard
Operational Demand in a region is demand that is met by local scheduled generating units, semi-scheduled generating units, and non-scheduled intermittent generating units of aggregate capacity ≥ 30 MW, and by generation imports to the region. It excludes the demand met by non-scheduled non-intermittent generating units, non-scheduled intermittent generating units of aggregate capacity < 30 MW, exempt generation (e.g. rooftop solar, gas tri-generation, very small wind farms, etc), and demand of local scheduled loads. The exceptions are Yarwun, Angaston, Port Stanvac, and Morton's Lane which are included.
Probability of Exceedance (POE) demand is a generalised approach to defining the probability of exceedance of electricity demand forecasts. The demand is expressed as the probability the forecast would be met or exceeded, e.g. a 50% POE demand implies there is a 50% probability of the forecast being met or exceeded.
Daily Actual Operational Demand Update - filename: public_actual_operational_demand_update_daily*.csv (approx. size 2Mb)
This file is published when there is a retrospective change made by AEMO to the actual operational demand data record (for example: due to SCADA data quality). Data published here overrides the original data published in real-time (Half-hourly Actual Operational Demand and Daily Actual Operational Demand files) for the same trading interval.
Half-hourly Actual Operational Demand - filename: public_actual_operational_demand_hh*.csv (approx. size 200kb)
This file contains the historical operational demand information (30-minute average of 4-second instantaneous demand) by region for the previous trading interval.
Daily Actual Operational Demand - filename: public_actual_operational_demand_daily*.csv (approx. size 2Mb)
This file contains the historical operational demand information (30-minute average of 4-second instantaneous demand) by region covering all trading intervals of the previous trading day.
Half-hourly Forecast Operational Demand - filename: public_forecast_operational_demand_hh*.csv (approx. size 31Mb)
This file contains the 30-minute forecast operational demand information by region covering from the pre-dispatch timeframe. Three types of POE demand forecasts (10%, 50% and 90% POE) are reported under the columns headed 'OPERATIONAL_DEMAND_POE10', 'OPERATIONAL_DEMAND_POE50', and 'OPERATIONAL_DEMAND_POE90', respectively.

The National Electricity Market registration classification of Yarwun Power Station Unit 1 (dispatchable unit ID: YARWUN_1) is market non-scheduled generating unit. However, it is a condition of the registration of this unit that the Registered Participant complies with some of the obligations of a Scheduled Generator. This unit is dispatched as scheduled generating unit with respect to its dispatch offers, targets and generation outputs. Accordingly, information about YARWUN_1 is reported as scheduled generating unit information.
This data is provided for information only and is not intended for commercial use. AEMO does not guarantee the accuracy of the data or its availability at all times.
The data in the table below is provided in the 7-day outlook peak data report:
Previous versions are available from:
Note 1: Between midnight and 14:00 hrs EST, the last day of the 7-day outlook only covers the period midnight to 04:00 hrs because Short-term PASA only covers six trading days.
Note 2: Values in the 7-day outlook table and 7-day outlook peak data report are rounded, and there could be +/- 1 MW differences when verifying the equation: Scheduled Capacity - Scheduled Demand - Net Interchange = Scheduled Reserve. However values in the 7-day outlook full data reports are not rounded.
Explanation of Terms
Scheduled Capacity
The total forecast generating capacity, available to the region at the time of its forecast daily peak demand (as limited by any network constraints), based on:
- The offered maximum availability of all scheduled generation within that region, as limited by any offered daily energy limitations.
The unconstrained intermittent generation forecasts of all semi-scheduled generation within that region.
This figure does not include net import from other regions.
Scheduled Demand
The forecast daily peak demand for the region, based on weather-adjusted forecasts by AEMO with a 50% probability of exceedance, to be met by scheduled and semi-scheduled generation (either locally or via interconnector imports).
Net Interchange
The forecast maximum net interchange which maximises the spare capacity for the study region. Positive interchange means export and negative interchange means import.
Scheduled Reserve
The scheduled capacity for a region, less net interchange with other regions, which is in excess of its scheduled demand.
Trading Interval
The time of the forecast daily peak demand for the region, expressed as half-hour ending in Eastern Standard Time (EST) in Australia.
The information in the 7-day outlook table above is extracted from the latest LOR (Lack of Reserve) runs of the Pre-dispatch PASA and Short-term PASA processes.The information is also provided in the following 7-day outlook full data report: http://www.nemweb.com.au/REPORTS/CURRENT/SEVENDAYOUTLOOK_FULL

SHAREit 2.3.40
Tools App by Chris Park (@chrislikesrobot)
Downloads: 6461
SHAREit lets you transfer files from different devices like phones, tablets, and computers. Using direct Wi-Fi connections, SHAREit can send files, photos, videos, and apps from one device to another. When it works, it is awesome, but when it doesn't, there's little reason to try again.
Send photos, videos, apps, and more
The core feature of SHAREit is transferring files between people without having to use cloud storage. You can share photos, videos, local music files, documents, and apps from one device to another. It doesn't matter what platform you're using because SHAREit only communicates with other SHAREit-enabled devices.
It doesn't transfer data over a general Wi-Fi connection or Bluetooth. Instead, it creates a direct wireless connection with up to five devices like a small network. Once connected to another device, files can be sent and received. You can also clone a device and send its contents to another device.
The best part of SHAREit is that it's multiplatform, including Windows PC.
Doesn't always work
Being multiplatform also causes problems for SHAREit because you have to troubleshoot connection problems on different devices. Since SHAREit doesn't use a connection over a Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth, it has to create a direct connection with another device. This means the device creates a hotspot that other devices connect to.
The app also doesn't explain that you will need to adjust your Wi-Fi settings. In the Settings menu there are options to "prefer hotspot" when sending or receiving, but the app never mentions that devices will create hotspots to share data. SHAREit is also buggy. My first attempts at transferring files caused the app to freeze. Both devices had to restart SHAREit before the transfer worked.
When SHAREit does work, it is fast. Pictures transferred quickly. Video had an uneven transfer speed and transfers sometimes looked frozen. Once files transfers are complete, the app disables the wireless connection and reverts back to the original connection. This means if you want to share another file, you have to go through the steps of starting and connection to the hotspot again.
The main problem with SHAREit is that it claims to be easy to use but it's actually kind of confusing for the average user.
Needs more polish
SHAREit has potential to be useful, but the lack of instructions and explanation make it frustrating to use. There's also a lack of polish and intuitiveness. Closing the hotspot connection makes sense, but having to go back through these steps to start another transfer is annoying.
There are a lot of easier options to transfer photos and files. SHAREit is good for video, but that depends on how large the file it.
SHAREit promises on ease of use, but hasn't reached that goal yet. If you want to transfer files, try Pushbullet.

OMG! WANT! Fan-Made 'Invisible Monsters' Shoes
First thing's first: No, these are not for sale. Secondly: Why the hell not!? If Nike can pimp Marty McFly's kicks, why shouldn't they be able to flaunt some Brandy Alexander leather?
Here's what our talented designer, 'Shane' (the Dez!gner online), had to say about his creation:
I do custom footwear and recently did a pair of Invisible Monster Womens. Nike Air 6.0 Canvas shoes. I uploaded a photo on Facebook and tagged it onto Chucks page. I'd be proud to have it on your fan submission site. I have no intention of selling this pair for money as it is not my original art.
