OmniTek releases enhanced version of Multi-Channel Streaming DMA Controller Core
April 9, 2014 -- Video-processing specialist OmniTek has released an enhanced and universal version of its Multi-Channel Streaming DMA Controller FPGA IP-core for transferring streaming data such as video across a PCIe interface. The new version of the core is available to registered users on the company's website and will be demonstrated on the OmniTek booth at the NAB Show.
The feature of OmniTek's DMA Controller that makes it ideal for handling streaming data is the FIFO-based form of DMA that it offers alongside traditional memory-based DMA. This 'FDMA' mode has been developed by OmniTek specifically to handle streaming data. The controller has also been designed to make transfers over the PCIe interface highly efficient through strategies such as pre-fetching Scatter-Gather descriptors, optimizing back-to-back packing of TLP packets, and supporting multiple outstanding read requests.
Configurable PCI Express 3.0, 2.0, 1.1 Controller IP for ASIC/SoC with AMBA AXI User Interface
AMBA AHB Direct Memory Acess (DMA) Controller
The DMA Controller is intended for use in system designs built around an FPGA that includes a built-in PCIe engine. Initially, just Gen1 or Gen2 PCIe engines were supported but the new release extends this support to Gen3 PCIe engines such as that offered on the Altera Stratix V. However, the key enhancement in the new version of the DMA Controller is its adaption for software control through a novel software interface framework – also specially developed by OmniTek – that makes applications for FPGA-based architectures both quick to create and easy to port between different implementations of a system design. By working in accordance with OmniTek's FPGA Software Interface Framework, the same application software can be used to drive versions of the same basic system design that offer different numbers of DMA channels and/or different channel configurations. This means there is no need for different application software for systems running Windows and Linux.
This adaptability is particularly useful where the components of a system design are still being developed or where different possible configurations are being evaluated. Previously, software developers could expect to re-write whole sections of kernel mode code whenever the firmware engineers produced a new version of their code. Where OmniTek's new FPGA Software Interface Framework is used, not only is the appropriate kernel mode code assembled automatically when the firmware is compiled, but the interface offered to this code makes for seamless handling of different numbers and different configurations of system components. As a result, applications only need to be re-written where system features change or where there is a radical change in system architecture.
Versions of the core are now available for both Xilinx and Altera FPGAs. For ease of incorporation with other Xilinx IP, the versions for Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGAs are equipped with AXI4 interfaces and scripts for use with Xilinx's Vivado Design Suite. Similarly, the versions of the DMA Controller for Altera Arria, Cyclone and Stratix FPGAs offer Avalon-MM interfaces for standard DMA transfers, Avalon-ST interfaces for streaming DMA transfers and Qsys scripts for implementing the core. OmniTek also offer a consultancy service, specializing in the development of video systems and image processing systems for a variety of different applications.
The features of the new Multi-Channel Streaming DMA Controller will be demonstrated in use on OmniTek's booth (Booth N1523) at the NAB Show in April. Registered users of earlier versions of OmniTek's Multi-Channel Streaming DMA Controller core can download a copy of the new version from the Downloads page of the OmniTek website www.omnitek.tv.

WP324 | Capturing Anti-Jokowi Sentiment and Islamic Conservative Masses: PKS 2019 Strategy
IDSS / Country and Region Studies / General / Southeast Asia and ASEAN / Working Papers
21 November 2019
This paper examines the Prosperous and Justice Party (PKS)'s strategy in the 2019 Indonesian general elections. Among the Islamic-based political parties, PKS gained the most significant increase in votes. We aspire to understand the breakthrough by looking at the party's strategy. On the one hand, our findings confirm the existing studies that correctly noted the moving of Indonesian political parties towards a "catch-all" direction by which they aim to garner wider support beyond a specific type of voter base. On the other hand, our research notes that PKS has started to exploit the phenomenon of rising Islamic conservatism in Indonesia. Despite solely maintaining an inclusive electoral strategy, this research asserts that the party has adjusted its campaign strategy to fit in with the trend of rising Islamic conservatism while concurrently exploiting the anti-incumbent president (Joko Widodo) sentiment. This paper aims to enhance discussion on Indonesian politics as well as Indonesia's political parties, particularly the PKS.
Keywords: PKS, Indonesian politics, political parties.

In order to reduce CO2 emissions The Netherlands put a lot of money into an energy transition by building a vast windmill park at sea. Dutch fishermen have serious concerns.

New MERS case in Saudi Arabia
MERS cases in Saudi Arabia reach 772, with 329 deaths
A 46-year-old Saudi Arabian man has become the 772nd case of MERS-CoV in that country since June 2012. An update from the Saudi Ministry of health (MOH) today lists his case as well as the death of a previously reported MERS-CoV (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronovirus) case-patient.
The new case occurred in Medina. The man, who is hospitalized, is not a healthcare worker. He had no preexisting disease and no contact with animals, the MOH said.
The death occurred in a 56-year-old man in Taif. He was not a healthcare worker but did have preexisting disease. His death brings to 329 the total number of fatal cases in the current outbreak, according to the MOH.
Oct 22 MOH update
In related news, an epidemiologic update from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) today gives the total cases from all reporting countries as 906, with 361 deaths; these numbers do not reflect the new case and death in today's MOH report. The latest (Oct 16) World Health Organization (WHO) situation update listed 877 MERS cases worldwide, with at least 317 deaths.
ECDC's report notes a spate of cases in Saudi Arabia since Sep 1, listing 29 as the count, 15 of which have been in Taif. These followed a lull over the summer.
It also says that a MERS case in Austria earlier this month in a Saudi Arabian man and the first MERS case in Turkey, reported just days ago, also in a Saudi, "do not indicate a significant change in the epidemiology of the disease." It goes on to say, "Importation of MERS-CoV cases to the [European Union] remains possible. However, the risk of sustained human-to-human transmission remains very low in Europe."

In her opening address, State Secretary and Head of the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) Marie-Gabrielle Ineichen-Fleisch underscored the significance of stability, democracy and economic growth. "This triad is reflected in all Swiss foreign policy activities in these countries", noted Ms Ineichen-Fleisch.
The goal, she explained, is to foster the transition to a market economy and a political system based on democratic values. "The same basic principle applies everywhere and always: Switzerland's approach to offering support is needs-oriented and based on cooperation. We also place great emphasis on the sustainability of the assistance we provide."
In Georgia, for example, Switzerland is helping to strengthen agricultural value chains and working to ensure that smallholder farmers are better integrated. As a result, 19,000 farmers increased their productivity by 15% in 2013, boosting their income by 10%. This also led to the creation of 143 jobs in rural areas.
Thanks to Switzerland's support, legislation was passed in Ukraine to make it significantly easier for small and medium-sized enterprises to be connected to the power grid, resulting in savings of more than CHF 5 million in 2013 alone for the companies concerned. Furthermore, the adaptation of Ukrainian inspection procedures to European standards, which was undertaken with Swiss support, enabled poultry producers to export to the EU for the first time, generating additional income of CHF 60 million.
In view of the current situation in Ukraine, however, all on-going projects have been reviewed for potential risks and operational consequences, noted Guido Beltrani, head of the Swiss cooperation office in Ukraine. Where necessary, the implementation of the projects has been adjusted and preventive measures have been taken. Project activities in Crimea have been suspended. In eastern Ukraine, no Swiss projects are currently affected by the difficult security situation. But the situation on the ground remains volatile and is being reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Switzerland's commitment is all the more important in times of instability, fragility and uncertainty, emphasised Martin Dahinden, head of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), in his closing speech. "Helping people in their reform efforts even in difficult periods is an important fundamental principle for us. We also firmly believe that a society is sustained from below, which is why we are committed to strengthening civil society, local authorities and good governance." It is, amongst other things, this sustained and full commitment that makes Switzerland a very reliable and credible partner, added Mr Dahinden.
With the new international cooperation strategy for 2013-2016, Switzerland has made a conscious decision to step up its commitment in fragile contexts. Transition cooperation also makes a significant contribution to the resolution of conflicts and the stabilisation of fragile contexts. This decision, explained Dahinden, was made in the knowledge that the best time to lay the foundations for a better future is when the challenges seem to be biggest and most pressing.
This year's Annual Conference on Swiss Cooperation with Eastern Europe drew 750 participants from all over Switzerland. Besides the conference proper, visitors were also given the opportunity to meet programme officers from the South Caucasus and Ukraine at the "Petit Marché" exhibition and to taste agricultural products produced in projects supported by Switzerland.

Bear Peak is a demanding 7.4-mile hike (round trip) through the broad meadows of South Mesa, up through the rocky trail of shadow canyon, to the granite summit with sweeping 360 degree views of the Colorado Front Range. Hikers can summit South Boulder Peak on your way and make a loop hike out of your adventure by returning via Fern Canyon. Explore the full Bear Peak hike profile below for the trail map, driving directions, and more tips and details to help you enjoy this adventure near Boulder, Colorado.
Access to Bear Peak is from the South Mesa Trailhead off of Eldorado Springs Drive just South of Boulder. From Denver, drive North on interstate 25 to 36 toward Boulder. Take the McCaslin Blvd exit and then go South/West onto McCaslin. At the intersection of McCaslin and Marshall, take a right onto Marshall Road. Marshall will intersect with Eldorado Springs Drive. Here, take a left onto Eldorado Springs Drive. About two miles down the road, you'll find the South Mesa Trailhead on your right. The South Mesa Trailhead is a part of the Boulder County Open Space and requires a daily parking fee, or an annual pass. I went online and bought an annual parking pass through the Open Space website. This gives you access to all the southern fee parking areas as well as the parking areas on Flagstaff Mountain. There are restrooms at the trailhead.
From the South Mesa Trailhead, the trail leads across a small bridge spanning over Boulder Creek. Willow trees arch over the stream making it worth a short pause to take in the sounds of water before you set off across the meadows of South Mesa. There are many trail options, but the most direct is to take the Homestead Trail, which heads West across a gentle grade toward Shadow Canyon.
This first mile or so of the hike is easy and offers stunning views of the Flatirons and views of the entrance of Eldorado Canyon. An old stone building, part of an early homestead is the first marker you'll pass early in the hike.
After about 1.3 miles, the trail will split. Take the left (West) trail, which leads to the South Shadow Canyon Trail. After about a 1/2 mile, you'll encounter a 2nd trail split. The Shadow Canyon Trail will again bear to the left and begin heading up steeper terrain.
As the trail ascends, you soon leave the meadow and enter into more dense ponderosa pine forest. The vegetation in the understory grows tall and green at the entrance to the canyon. You'll see another cabin with a metal roof (pictured below). Soon past the cabin will be another important trail juncture. Again, the trail up Shadow Canyon will bear left (West).
Once in Shadow Canyon, the trail now becomes much more steep and requires navigating over rock and tree roots. This segment of the trail traveling up through the canyon is over a mile, so be ready for a steady and demanding climb.
The canyon is an access route for Devils Thumb, a prominent rock formation along this ridge. There are seasonal closures (see photo below) because of nesting raptors. Be sure to stay out of this area from Feb. 1st to July 31st. You are welcome to stay on the Shadow Canyon trail--it's not closed during this time--but refrain from going off-trail or taking social trails during this time up to Devils Thumb.
Eventually, the trail emerges from the canyon onto the saddle between South Boulder Peak and Bear Peak. This area is marked by a burn area, and in the late summer, raspberry plants grow trailside full of ripe berries. The burn was ignited by lightning in June of 2012. Named the Flagstaff Fire, it consumed about 300 acres before being contained by firefighters.
Another trail sign notes the way to Bear Peak, a 0.3 mile trail segment curving North up the back of the summit.
You'll notice more burn area on the left (West) side of the trail. The rock on the trail becomes increasingly brittle as you go, so be aware of those hiking below you and be sure to hike on the most secure and durable surfaces.
The final segment requires a scramble along about 25 yards of angled rock. Take your time and scope out the safest route to the summit. Most peaks along the Front Range have broad tops, but Bear Peak is tapered to a point with exposure on all sides. Several USGS markers are set into the rock (I think I counted 3--which is unusual). The views are great, both to the East and to the mountains in the West.
There are two options for the return hike: 1) to hike the 3.7 miles back through Shadow Canyon, retracing the same trails, or 2) to make a loop out of the hike by descending via Fern Canyon (about 4.7-mile return). The rest of this profile will follow the Fern Canyon to Mesa Trail return.
A sign marking the trail down Fern Canyon is located right at the base of Bear Peak (where the trail turns into a scramble up the summit). The descent into Fern Canyon is very steep and the rock is very loose. Hikers will also encounter people making their way up the trail, so be sure to move off to the side and grant right-of-way to hikers who are doing the harder work of ascending the trail. I would not recommend hiking up to Bear Peak from this route because the trail is way more demanding than the Shadow Canyon approach.
After about 1/2 of a mile descending this steep saddle, the trail will bear right (East) into Fern Canyon via a series of switchbacks. Eventually, the trail will emerge from Fern Canyon back onto the more gentle slopes of South Mesa. Look for signs for the Mesa Trail, and follow them South back to the South Mesa Trailhead.
The hike back on the Mesa Trail travels in and out of the shade of Ponderosa pines and along the pink and orange Flatiron mountains that make this area so spectacular. We took the Upper Bluestem trail to some small connector trails leading back to the trailhead. Another approach is stay on the Mesa Trail (see map) until it connects back to the Homestead Trail.

Garden of the Gods is argueabley the best place to hike in Colorado Springs. Designated a National Natural Landmark, the park is known for its towering red sandstone formations and panoramic views of Pikes Peak. Hiking, Horseback riding, mountain biking, birding, and climbing are among the activities that can be enjoyed here. This guide to the Garden of the Gods features 6 different hiking trail options, spanning from easy to moderate and 1/2 mile to 2.5 mile hikes.
We've attempted to create the definitive guide to hiking in Garden of the Gods. In this guide, you'll find: Driving directions to Garden of the Gods, Trail Maps, Photography tips, Camping information for the Garden of the Gods area, and other Resources for planning your Colorado Vacation. This guide to Garden of the Gods is extensive, so we have created a table of contents to help you navigate. Have fun exploring!
Take interstate I-25 to Colorado Springs. Exit onto West Fillmore Road and head West. Fillmore will change names to Fontmore Road. Take a right onto North 30th Street, and you'll find the Garden of the Gods Visitor Center just 1.2 miles up on the right/east side of the road. We recommend you stop at the Visitor Center to pick up a free color trail map. The main parking area for hiking is located on the North end of the park. You'll find Gateway Road (the access road into Garden of the Gods) directly across from the Visitor Center. Head west on Gateway road, then right at the intersection with Juniper Way Loop Road. The main parking area is located on the left-hand/South side of the first bend of the Juniper Way Loop. There are restroom facilities available at both the main parking area and at the visitor center.
Before you park, consider driving around the entire Juniper Way loop to take in the sites and get your bearings. It's one of the most beautiful drives in Colorado, especially during sunrise and sunset. The loop is one way, has a low speed limit, and is frequented by cyclists. So, it also makes for a great bike ride-- the northbound loop is a gradual but demanding climb. Be attentive to hikers and cyclists as you drive in the park.
We've put this loop hike first on our list because it takes you right into the heart of the park. It's also paved and wheelchair and stroller accessible. From the parking lot, hikers will head south on the main trail (pictured above). On your right will be the largest of the sandstone Monoliths, North Gateway Rock. The tower on its north end is called the Tower of Babel, and its south end marks the gateway into the famous central valley. But before you enter the valley, be sure to look up at the Kissing Camels formation located at the middle-top of North Gateway Rock.
The loop begins right after you enter through the gateway at the twin spires of Sentinel Rock. Going left will take you on a clockwise circuit around the valley. You'll first pass between the Three Graces and Pulpit Rock before the trail bends to the North. Finally, the trail will bend South and meet back up with the trail that leads back to the main parking lot. There are many other trails that come off of the main loop trail, so bring a map with you if you plan to explore some of the nooks and crannies of the park.

The Ridge Trail is a short, half-mile loop on the southeastern end of the park. From the parking area indicated in the table above, the trail is located across the street to the left by takign a crosswalk. Before you cross, be aware of cars and cyclists (often the cyclists come around the curves of the park much faster and can take you by surprise). The Ridge trail makes it way to the foot of The Sleeping Giant formation before bending back toward the parking area.
Siamese Twins Rock Formation - Courtesy of Matt Santamarco
To hike to the Siamese Twins formation, take the trail on the north end of the parking lot that leads North. As you hike, you'll observe a very different landscape to the West, desert terrain that stretches out and up to Rampart Range Road. At the Siamese Twins, be sure to grab a photo of Pikes Peak framed by the window in the rock. Be sure to adjust your camera to take it's light reading from the distant mountain rather than the foreground (on your phone, simply press your screen to readjust the reference point for the lighting and focus). The trail heads South and will pass the parking area as it bends around and back up to it.
This 2.5 mile loop hike is a great way to take in the full spectrum of terrain and rock formations in the park. The route, as describe below is about 2.5 miles, and mileage may vary depending on the side trails you decide to take. From the main parking area/trailhead, the Palmer Trail can be picked up by crossing Juniper Way directly North of the lot. Heading left/West on the Palmer trail, it will wind around South, roughly following the main road through Garden of the Gods.
To make the loop, at about 1.3 miles on the Palmer Trail hikers will cross Juniper Way at the Scotsman Picnic Area and join up with the Scotsman Trail. It will dips South initally, then heads Northeast to meet up with the trails of the Central Valley. This area can be quite a labyrinth and the best way to pick up the Eastern side of the loop will be to keep an eye out for the gateway, the space between North Gateway and South Gateway Rocks. Once through the gateway, hikers will pick up the Garden Trail, head East, and join up with the Susan G. Bretag Trail, by crossing Juniper Way where it intersects with Gateway Road. Heading North on the Bretage Trail, it will eventually come to a fork. Taking the left-hand/West trail (Palmer Trail) will lead back to the parking lot.
These are two loops found just South of the Central Valley area. The parking area is small and will likely be full during most days during the Summer months. One alternative is to begin your hike at the main lot, then pick up the Scotsman trail on the South end of the Valley.
The Scotsman Loop is 1.1 mile in its entirety. Picking up the trail from the Scotsman Picnic ground by following social trails East, the Scotsman dips South then winds Northeast before making a sharp turn South and back to the parking area. Bring your trail map, or have it up on your phone to keep oriented.
The Buckskin Charlie Trail can be added to double your hike. Hikers will pick up the Buckskin Charlie Trail on the southern bends of the Scotsman. The trail winds around until it begins again to head North, following the line of the main road, Juniper way, until it joins back up with the Scotsman and returns home to the Scotsman Picnic area.
You don't have to hike to Balanced Rock (see driving directions in the table above). In fact, this loop hike is named "the Balanced Rock Trail" only because it is near Balanced Rock, not because it takes you there. For visitors entering through the South end of the park, Balanced Rock will be the first stop, then on to the Trading Post. In fact, the best way to pick up the Balanced Rock Trail is from the Northern end of the Trading Post lot. Hikers will find a connector trail that goes directly from the lot North, crosses the road, and immediately picks up the Balanced Rock Loop trail. Hiking counter-clockwise, the trail follows alongside Garden road, then leads North until it terminates at another section of the road. Hikers can cross the road (watch for cars and cyclists) and pick up the Cabin Canyon Trail across the street. Taking the Cabin Canyon Trail South, it will come to a crosswalk where you can pick the Balanced Rock Trail up again and back to the parking area.

Camping is prohibited in Garden of the Gods, and it's important to understand that the Park is located in the town of Colorado Springs--it's not a backcountry experience. Those looking to camp will need to explore campgrounds and tent camping options outside the immediate area. However, there is a nearby campground in Manitou Springs that offers cabins, bunkhouses, and RV spots. It's pet-friendly and even offers bike rentals. You can find current rates and more at Garden of the Gods RV Resort. Most of the tent camping is going to be out near Rampart Range Reservoir or further West past Woodland Park, CO.
Imagine a prehistoric landscape of sand dunes plunged and crushed into the earth by some violent upheaval involving tectonic and hydraulic forces. That's how the red rock fins of Garden of the Gods were formed in the womb of the earth. Then another cataclysm. The Pikes Peak massif gets thrust to the sky along with the surrounding red sedimentary rock. Some at angles and some perpendicular to the land. Then the forces of wind and water began to wear down the loose rock creating the unusual holes and across the surfaces of the rocks. You'll find these types of rock formations stretching from North of Ft. Collins down into Southern Colorado. Some of the most notable are Roxborough State Park and South Valley Park near Littleton and Red Rocks Park in Denver.
After his death in 1907, the children of railroad tycoon, Charles Elliott Perkins, fulfilled their father's wishes by donating 480 acres of Garden of the Gods to become a permanent park and free to the public. The park has expanded over the years to over 1,300 acres. The park got its name from a German surveyor mapping out the land in 1859.

Cub Lake, in Rocky Mountain National Park, is known for its unusual halo of lily pads. The 4.6 mile, roundtrip hike dazzles with its variety - especially the wildflowers. You'll pass through wetlands, glacial formations, and meadows before arriving at the lake. Explore the full Cub Lake hike profile below for trail map, driving directions, and all the details you need to enjoy this adventure in Rocky Mountain National Park.
The Cub Lake Trailhead in Rocky Mountain National Park has a very small parking area where only 7 to 8 vehicles can park. Chances are, if you don't arrive early in the morning, you'll need to park just .3 mile further down the road at the Fern Lake Bus Stop parking area. If both lots are full, then your best bet is to park in the RMNP Park & Ride lot and use the shuttle service to get to the Cub Lake Trailhead. Please do not park alongside the road. This causes significant erosion and damage to roadside--and you might get a ticket.
One of the things we love about Rocky Mountain National Park is the diversity of landscapes. The Cub Lake trail is a great example. Over the course of the 2.3 mile journey to the lake, you'll encounter plenty of sights that you will want to take in. The trail begins in the wetland meadows of Moraine Park, replete with willows and other wetland shrubs. It's a perfect habitat for a variety of birds, including western tanagers and warblers.
The trail crosses several bridges, including one over the Big Thompson River, (just a mountain stream at this point) then begins a climb into stands of evergreens, and then into an unusual area scraped by an ancient glacier, riddled with unusual boulders and rock. Leaving this strange landscape, the trail goes down to another meadow area and meets up with the horse trail that runs along the southern border of Moraine Park. The local YMCA offers horseback rides along this area, so keep your eyes out for horses. At this trail junction, the trail that leads up to Cub Lake is the one to the right.
Soon, the trail goes from easy to quite demanding, working its way up a series of switchbacks before reaching Cub Lake. Two things will catch your eye at Cub Lake. First is the strange halo formation made by the yellow pond lilies that grow around the inside of the lake. The middle of the lake, open to reflect the sky, looks like a big, blue eye staring into the heavens. The second thing you may notice is a large stand of dead trees from a forest fire in the 1970s.
Andrews Tarn and Andrews Glacier are high up in a more secluded area of Rocky Mountain National Park. It's a strenuous, almost 10 mile hike for those who are up for the challenge. Though it can be demanding, the Andrew's Creek area is one of our favorite trail sections in RMNP. Explore the full Andrew's Tarn and Andrew's Glacier hike profile below for trail map, driving directions, and all the details you need to enjoy this adventure in Rocky Mountain National Park.
The trail to the Andrews Tarn begins at either the Glacier Gorge Trailhead (see driving directions above), or at the Bear Lake Trailhead (driving directions). Because the Glacier Gorge Trailhead has a much smaller lot, you may need to drive further up to Bear Lake. There you'll find a short connector trail that will put you on the path down and over to the Glacier Gorge Trail system. In the event that parking at Bear Lake is full, you'll then need to park at the Park & Ride near the Bierstadt Trailhead and take the bus into the trailhead. This service runs 7am to 7PM and more information on the RMNP shuttle bus routes can be found at this link.
Hikers will begin on the trail leading to Glacier Gorge and Loch Vale. The first destination that you'll encounter is at .8 miles, Alberta Falls (photo above). The trail then climbs toward an eventual trail junction. The way to the Loch is to follow the Glacier Gorge/Loch Vale trail that bears right and ascends for about another .5 mile to another trail junction. At this second junction the trail to the left will take hikers to Glacier Gorge, and the trail to the right takes hikers on a jaunt to Lake Haiyaha. The middle trail leads onto the Loch Vale Trail--this is the trail that will eventually lead into the Andrew's Creek area and to Andrew's Tarn and Andrew's Glacier.
Having hiked about 2.7 miles, you'll arrive at the shores of The Loch, one of the most photographed lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park and a popular destination for hikers and those looking to catch some trout.
After this point, you should see fewer hikers. The trail continues along the northern (right-hand) side of the Loch for about .6 mile where there is a final trail junction. The trail to right will lead to Andrew's Glacier and Andrew's Tarn. The other option leads to Timberline Falls, Lake of Glass, and Sky Pond.
The next segment may be my favorite in all of Rocky Mountain National Park. The trail weaves through a verdant forest following Andrew's creek. Its clear waters spill over tree roots, rock, and snow as it makes it way through this fairy tale valley. In the early summer of 2004, I camped in the valley just before a snowstorm. Everyone was leaving this part of the park, so I had it all to myself. A cow elk and its calf were my only visitors. The Andrews Creek Backcountry Campsite is the only campsite in this area of the park and must be reserved through the backcountry office.
As the trail ascends it becomes more of a challenge, and hikers may need to pause to locate cairns (stacks of rocks) that indicate the location of the trail as it courses through scree and talus. Snow lingers up in this part of the park, so trekking poles and traction devices can be a great help. After hiking this 1.3 mile segment, the trail terminates at Andrew's Tarn, an emerald meltwater lake that has formed in this bowl high in the Rocky Mountains. It's about another 1/4 mile around the lake to the base of Andrew's Glacier.
While Andrew's Glacier is a used route for accessing the continental divide and peaks such as Taylor, and is used as a route of descent after summiting Flattop and Hallet Peaks, travel on the glacier is both problematic and can be very dangerous. Though it's a small glacier, in the summer, crevasses open in its surface. And sliding down, especially when it's icy, can quickly turn into an out-of-control trip down its surface. Hitting rock on the way down could even be fatal. Please talk with a ranger or call the park service before making travel on Andrew's Glacier a part of your plans.

Black Lake is among the most spectacular lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park. The journey to Black Lake is a strenuous, 10 mile, round-trip hike with significant elevation gain--but both the destination of Black Lake and the several waterfalls along the way make it more than worth the effort. Explore the full Black Lake hiking trail profile for trail map, driving directions, and all the details you need to enjoy this adventure in Rocky Mountain National Park.
The trail to Black Lake begins at either the Glacier Gorge Trailhead (see driving directions above), or at the Bear Lake Trailhead (driving directions). Because the Glacier Gorge Trailhead has more limited parking, you may need to drive further up to Bear Lake. There you'll find a short connector trail that will put you on the path to the Glacier Gorge Trail system. In the event that parking at Bear Lake is full, you'll then need to park at the Park & Ride near the Bierstadt Trailhead and take the bus into the trailhead. This service runs 7am to 7PM and more information on the RMNP shuttle bus routes can be found at this link.
Hiking to Black Lake takes you into the Glacier Gorge Trail system with many wonderful destinations including Mills Lake, Jewel Lake, and Ribbon Falls. Be sure to review the different waypoints and destinations below so that you don't miss any of the sites. The first destination--and one you can't miss because it's right along the trail--is at .8 miles, Alberta Falls. After the waterfall, the trail ascends toward an eventual trail junction. The way to Black Lake is to follow the Glacier Gorge/Loch Vale trail that bears right. This trail climbs steadily for about another half mile until arriving at a second major trail junction with three options. The left-hand trail leads into Glacier Gorge and eventually to Mills Lake.
1. Glacier Gorge Trailhead 2. Alberta Falls - @ .8 mile 3. Mills Lake - @ 2.8 miles 4. Jewel Lake - @ 3.2 miles 5. Ribbon Falls - @ 4.8 miles 6. Black Lake - @ 5 miles
At Mills Lake, the trail follows its eastern shore for about 1/2 a mile until arriving at Jewel Lake, a much smaller body of water surrounded by lush green marshes. The next segment of the trail is my favorite, a challenging stretch of approximately 2 miles that leads hikers across bogs, and through verdant forest where the snow hangs on well into the summer months. In fact, this stretch may prove very difficult in the spring and early weeks of June depending on that year's weather. The trail continues to follow Glacier Creek up into the higher reaches of the park and ever closer to Keyboard of the Winds, the jagged rock formation ever present against the eastern sky.
Keyboard of the Winds is named for the sounds that flow from it's sharp edges as high winds whistle and roar across its peaks. Be sure to stop and listen for the music. It can be a mesmerizing experience.
If snow is still on the ground, then the last bit of the trail may require some basic route finding. The established trail skirts the left/east side of Black Lake, but can at times be hard to find. Stay close to the creek and you should be okay. Soon, hikers will encounter Ribbon Falls, a beautiful slide waterfall. Black Lake is just .2 mile further up the trail. This final segment is steep and requires negotiating some rocks and boulders before coming over the rise to gain breathtaking views of Black Lake.
Eldorado Cascades is tucked back in Walker Ranch near Boulder, Colorado. It's an easy to moderate 1.25 mile hike from the Ethel Harrold Trailhead down to where South Boulder Creek winds through the park and crashes over the boulders blocking its path. Explore the full trail profile below for all the details: tips, trail map, and driving directions to the trailhead.
Eldorado Cascades can be reached from several different trailheads that tie into the Walker Ranch Loop system. However, the shortest and probably easiest access is by starting at the Ethel Harrold Trailhead. See the directions driving directions links on this page, and be sure to make note of your last couples turns because cell phone services are spotty.
The drive up to the trailhead on Flagstaff Road is a beautiful one, but do be aware of the many hikers, climbers, and cyclists along the road. After Flagstaff road, the two roads that lead to the trailhead, Pika, then Bison, are improved dirt roads. These were recently graded when we visited (early April) and were fine to drive. However, 4-wheel drive is probably necessary during the winter months or after early Spring rains or snowfall. The trailhead parking area has a pit toilet and information board. If you are interested in birdwatching, you'll find a Birds of Walker Ranch Chechlist at the board.
The hike begins with expansive views of Walker Ranch and out towards Eldorado Canyon State Park (pictured above). The air was full of the scent of juniper trees, and we found abundant Elk sign in the meadows near the trailhead. The trail winds down to a intermittent stream that was gushing with the early Spring snowmelt. A bridge buried in snow leads across the creek, then the trail skirts the hillside for most of the hike, gradually working its way down to a junction with the Walker Ranch Loop Trail. At the junction, the trail to Boulder Creek and Eldorado Cascades is to the right and takes hikers further downhill to a bridge that crosses South Boulder Creek.
The sound of water is almost always within earshot, and the chirps of a variety of birds fill the air. Shortly before the bridge, hikers may notice a "To Eldorado Canyon" sign and trail on the left side of the Walker Ranch Trail. This leads to Eldorado Canyon State Park, about 3.5 miles away, but does not lead to the cascades. The cascades can be found almost immediately after crossing the bridge that spans South Boulder Creek. Here the trail becomes a series of uneven rock stairs that lead to the top of the cascades (pictured above is view from the top).
"Eldorado Falls" seems to be a local and unofficial name given to this set of cascades. The trail map simply marks them as "falls." On the back side of the cascades, South Boulder Creek seems to disappear under massive boulders that block its path. Here the water slips under the rock then shoots out on the other side in a series of small cascades. The water pools, then pours over another lower cascades (pictured above) before returning to calmer waters.
The hike back is mostly uphill, but it's only about a +500' of elevation gain. The park is open in the winter; however, the trail from the Ethel Harrold trailhead down to the Walker Ranch Loop might become difficult to discern after a blanket of snow. So, the ideal times are Spring through Fall.

Timberline Falls is a demanding 8-mile round-trip waterfall hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. The trail takes you past Alberta Falls up into beautiful Loch Vale. Beyond Timberline Falls hikers will find Lake of Glass, additional falls, and breathtaking Sky Pond.
Glacier Gorge is the home to some of the best hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, and this waterfall hike is one of the best. Be sure to read through the trailhead and parking information below, because, in the busy season, parking fills up fast. Explore our Timberline Falls trail profile below for trail details, driving directions, maps, and more.
The trail up to Timberline Falls begins at either the Glacier Gorge Trailhead (see driving directions above), or at the Bear Lake Trailhead (driving directions). Because the Glacier Gorge Trailhead has a much smaller lot, you may need to drive further up to Bear Lake. There you'll find a short connector trail that will put you on the path down and over to the Glacier Gorge Trail system. In the event that parking at Bear Lake is full, you'll then need to park at the Park & Ride near the Bierstadt Trailhead and take the bus into the trailhead. This service runs 7am to 7PM and more information on the RMNP shuttle bus routes can be found at this link.
The hike up into the Glacier Gorge/Loch Vale trail system takes you past one of Rocky Mountain National Parks' most accessible waterfalls, Alberta Falls.
After the waterfall, the trail begins to wind up a series of switchbacks for just shy of a mile until a trail junction with the NorthLong's Peak Trail. The trail into Glacier Gorge/Loch Vale then bears right and ascends for about another .5 mile to another trail junction. The trail to the left will take hikers to Glacier Gorge, and the trail to the right takes hikers on a jaunt to Lake Haiyaha (fun to say three times fast) but this trip to Timberline Falls takes the middle trail onto the Loch Vale Trail.
The path follows the path of Icy Brook through a series of longer switchbacks. The brook can be heard gushing and pouring over the rocks below, and one particular switchback there is a great view of its waters casacading through a green canyon (pictured above). At approximately 1 mile after leaving the junction, the trail opens up to more level ground at The Loch. In the distance, beyond the Loch in the west, the cliff face of the Cathedral Wall calls technical climbers to its challenging routes.
The trail continues along the right side of the Loch until another trail junction beyond its western shores and deep in the the lush forest surrounding Icy Brook. The trail up to Timberline Falls, Lake of Glass, and Sky Pond is on the left, and the path to the right will take hikers into the Andrew's Creek area, one of my favorite areas of the Park. Here the trail up to Timberline Falls gets more steep, working its way up through subalpine forest of fir and spruce, the ground bejeweled with Columbine flowers. Soon you'll gain views of the falls in the distance.
A series of stone stairs takes you to the base of the waterfall. In the late Spring and Early Summer, the falls cut through the winter snowpack and creates fantastic shapes out of the snow. For hikers who want to see more, a very steep and slick trail can be found to far right side of the waterfall. This leads up to the Lake of Glass, it's own waterfall, and to Sky Pond.
Ready for a hike around Colorado's Red Rocks Park and famous amphitheater? The Trading Post trail at Red Rocks takes you around 10 of the park's giant red rock formations. It's a short, 1.4-mile loop hike just 25 minutes from downtown Denver. Check out our full hiking trail profile below for all the details.
If you are looking for a family adventure that's quick to get to, this hiking trail at Red Rocks is a great option. The Trading Post trail weaves through some of Colorado's most majestic red rock formations, into meadows, and great views of Red Rocks park. Because the trail is narrow and has some steep areas, keep a good eye on the kiddos.
We hiked the Trading Post Trail on a sunny Saturday in February with our children, ages 7 and 4. They loved it, but were definitely tired at the end. However, after we finished the 1.4 mile loop, it was their idea to hike up to the amphitheater, then all the way to the top.
We started at the trading post, and hiked the loop counter-clockwise. I'd recommend hiking it this way because it gives you the move favorable views, and offers a bit of shade about 3/4 of the way through the hike--right when you need it the most. The sand and grave on the rock surface of the trail can cause your feet to slip, but as long as you are aware and take your time, it makes for a perfect leisurely hike.
You can bring your dog on this hike, however we haven't added this trail to our list of best trails for hiking with your dog near Denver because the trail can be narrow and can be high traffic. So, if you are bringing fido, we recommend going early in the morning, or take the Red Rocks trail, which is more open and has fewer people on it.
I get a lot of emails from people who are only in Denver for a few days, limited when it comes to their transportation, and want to experience the outdoors. This is the hike I send them to. Why?
For those who are looking for a nice hike that incorporates the highland meadows of Colorado and views to snowcapped mountains, then the Elk Range Trail at Centennial Cone Park is the perfect hike. The Elk Range Trail can be hiked as an out-and-back 6.6 mile adventure, starting from one of two different trailheads. We saw a lot of wildlife and few people. Explore the full trail profile below for trail details, Centennial Cone park map, driving directions, and more.
Looking East towards Centennial Cone
You have two trailhead options when taking the 6.6 mile Elk Range Trail.The driving directions link above are for the Centennial Cone Road trailhead. A North Centennial Cone Park Trailhead has equestrian trailer parking and can be located at this link. Our trail profile here describes the trail hiking from West to East.
From the Centennial Cone trailhead, you immediately find yourself surrounded by green open fields. At about half a mile in you'll encounter a fence with a gate. When you walk through the gate, you'll be on private property for a few hundred yards. Jefferson County parks has some sort of easement, so continue your hike but stay on the trail, until you get to the other gate. There are horses and cows that wander about the area without fences, so they may be on the trail when you arrive. Another reason to be sure that the gates close behind you.
Hiking along the Elk Range Trail, I couldn't help wondering, "Can you hike up to the top of Centennial Cone?" There is no trail on the map but there appears to be the vestiges of an old road or trail leading up the North end of Centennial Cone. Because I haven't hiked it yet, I can't recommend it, but the old trail can be found just before the trail enters private property. Where the trail bends just before the gate, you can follow a set of what look to be markers for an underground gas line. These lead up to the trail at the base of Centennial Cone. This is as far as I explored, and hope to get back to attempt a hike to the top of the cone.
It's important to know that on the weekends the trail alternates from hiker-only to biker-only. Here's how to keep track of it: Odd days are hiker only and even days are bikes only.The weekdays are open to both hikers and mountain bikers.The park is closed during certain days for hunting season. You can get the exact closure dates from the Centennial Cone page of Jefferson County's opens space site.
If you've started from the Centennial Cone Road trailhead and would like a pleasant and beautiful drive home, take Highway 6 through Clear Creek canyon, and into Golden.
The Horseshoe Trail in Golden Gate Canyon State Park is a wonderful hike for older kids, experienced and non-experienced hikers. It's a great trail for spotting wildlife, from birds to deer, viewing fall colors and wildflowers, and taking in the beautiful scenic view along the trail. Several of the backcountry campsites areas are also accessible from the Horseshoe trail. We'll detail those locations, provide links to a trail map, driving directions and more in the trail profile on this Colorado hike.
Golden Gate Canyon's Horseshoe Trail is a 3.6 mile out-and-back hike (1.8 miles one-way). We've rated it as moderate in difficulty because of the 900+ feet of elevation gain. The Horseshoe Trail is popular because it follows the beds of several small streams, winds through groves of aspen trees, and leads to beautiful meadows, as well as three of Golden Gate Canyon State Park's backcountry camping areas.
To get to the trailhead (first,use our driving directions). Once in the park, exit to the right out of the Visitors Center--you'll want to stop here first to pick up a map. You'll find the Frazer Meadows parking area and trailhead for the Horseshoe Trail on the left-hand side of the road. Keep in mind that parking is limited, so it would be best to arrive early. There are also restrooms at the Horseshoe trail trailhead and we found them to be kept up and clean.
One of the highlights of this trail are the streams that run along it. You'll find that there are several small bridges to cross as you make your way up the trail. Seasonal streams also mean that sections of the Horseshoe trail will get muddy on after rains and during the Spring melt-water runoff. But water also means wildflowers, and this trail comes alive with them in late Spring through the Summer.
The Horseshoe Trail also leads you to access trails for three of the five Golden Gate Canyon backcountry camping areas. Use this link to the backcountry camping brochure to get details on cost per night and how to make campsite reservations in Golden Gate Canyon State Park. The first campsite access trail is at 1.1 miles and will take you to Greenfield Meadows, which has 4 campsites. Continuing on the same spur, you can hike further in to the Frazer Meadow campsite which has 4 campsites and one backcountry shelter. If you continue on the Horseshoe trail, you'll come upon the access trail for Rim Meadow campsite at 1.3 miles. Rim Meadow also has 4 campsites.
A big thanks goes out to Lisa Palmer, a member of our Dayhikes Pathfinder Team, who hiked this trail with her family, gathered the information for the trail profile, and took the photos for this post.

Dear friends,
We hope you had a lovely Sunday. It was so nice to see people at church for both the 8 AM Rite I and the 10:15 AM Rite II service. We continue to welcome you, as your comfort level allows, to worship with us on Sundays, and commencing next week, joining us for our Wednesday Noonday service on July 8th. Rest assured we continue to have in place the proper protocols for health safety while also creating welcoming and contemplative spaces for worship.
If you missed our YouTube livestream, you can click here to view. We also have included links to both service bulletins, in the event you would like to read along with the 10:15 AM service, or create your own service by worshipping in Rite I and then advancing the video to the 15:00 minute mark to listen to Father Rick's sermon.
Click here to download the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost: Proper 8 Sunday Service bulletin for 10:15 service.
If you prefer the more meditative said service of Rite I, we have provided our service bulletin for you to download and enjoy the service for the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost: Proper 8.
If you would like to read our said service for Rite I, please click here to download that bulletin.
We continue to tweak and refine our technological process and how we deliver the various worship components to meet the spiritual needs of our parish community, while extending our welcoming to the wider community of faith. We ask for your patience and understanding as we continue to improve our offerings.
To that end, we are also "finding our way" from the Daily Messages to a new rhythm that allows us to stay connected to everyone, while providing content that is enlightening, meditative, invitational, and informative. For now, we will try this schedule:
Monday Message: Recap of Sunday worship offerings, news for the week that will include activities all can participate in, a meditation, prayer or virtual tour. Check out our events calendar on our web site to stay aprised of events and services: https://sainteds.org/events-calendar/

Looking for a volunteer(s) to pick up bread on Mondays at Columbia Weis to bring back to the pantry! One person could do every Monday OR could "split" with one, two, three or four other volunteers…each take one week of the month! Pick up time is 8-8:30 AM. Please contact Beth Lynch if you are interested in volunteering and she can pass your name along to the Food Pantry to see where the need is (along with other volunteers from other churches).
Also, as you may be hearing in the news, food pantries are stretched thin of supplies to meet the growing need in our communities to provide for our food poor. Many of us are so fortunate to sit down at any time during the day to a bountiful table, while so many in our community struggle to provide even just one healthy meal a day for their family. We continue to accept monetary donations to help the HAFP, made payable to St. Edward's, with a memo notation of "food pantry." Thank you!
We leave you with a writing from The Book of Uncommon Prayer of Meditations and Devotions, a compilation from various writers, which Amy Swiernik passed on to us to share with others. Today's meditation is a writing from Harriet Beecher Stowe, a writer and Prophetic Witness, 1896, who has been honored in the past with a feast day of July 1st on the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church (USA). The current Episcopal Church liturgical calendar honors Pauli Murray – a lawyer, poet, author, activist, Priest and the first African-American woman ordained in the Episcopal Church in 1985.
Calm and Divine
Abide in me; o'ershadow by Thy love
Each half-formed purpose and dark thought of sin;
Quench, ere it rise, each selfish, low desire,
And keep my soul as Thine, calm and divine.
– Harriet Beecher Stowe
Be well. Stay safe. Keep the faith.

The synod department of Christian Education welcomed 60 Christian educators and Sunday school teachers from Dornakal diocese for a three-days' training program at CSI Synod Centre, Chennai from 21st to 23rd May, 2018. The synod department of Christian Education organized this training program, named "Christian Education Pedagogies for Missional Congregations" sponsored by CWM, Singapore.
The training program started with Rev. James Cecil Victor, director, synod department of Pastoral Concerns narrating the basic principles of Christian education pedagogies that are relevant to promote missional congregations and Sunday schools. Rev. Dr. Rohan Gideon, Assistant Professor of Theology, United Theological College, Bangalore, conducted a short workshop on reading and interpreting the Bible from children's perspectives. This has challenged the participants to recall and relive their childhood aspirations when they read and interpreted the Bible as children. A thorough analysis of prejudices behind the adult reading of the Bible exposed the need to do an intentional reading of the Bible from the viewpoints of children. The participants prepared Bible lessons by re-reading the select Bible passages from the lived experiences of children. They demonstrated through innovative methods of teaching re-creating classrooms and transforming the whole approach to the Bible narratives. This session has enabled teachers to come out of their adult biases in reading and interpreting the Bible and to focus on identifying children's experiences in the Bible passages and the contemporary context of living.
Mr. Syraskumar, a Counselling trainer lead through a moving session on the need to understand children's emotional and psychological needs in Sunday Schools. They trained the participants to understand basic principles of counselling and applying them appropriately in Sunday school education. Many participants expressed the urgency of learning counselling skills to meet out to the pressing issues faced by children. Rev. Dr. Jayachitra L, the director of the department of Christian Education, and Ms. Suhasini Cecil elaborated on the various kinds of violations of child rights in the society and church and trained the participants to strive towards ensuring safe learning environment in churches.
Rev. Dr. D. R. Sadananda, the General Secretary of CSI gave an inspiring message in the closing session highlighting the tremendous scope of instilling Christian values in children for the growth of the church in the Indian scenario. He challenged them to go back to their respective congregations to function as the ambassadors of Synod Christian Education goals of capacity building for teachers of Christian education and training children towards wholistic Christian education.
Rev. Dr. Jayachitra Lalitha,
Director, Department of Christian Education,
CSI Synod

5 numbers that define Washington Wizards' 2019-20 season (so far)
The NBA season might be over. It might not be. But these stats tell the story for the Washington Wizards, and a couple of dozen games won't change that.
Whether the 2019-20 NBA season is officially over for the Washington Wizards isn't quite clear. At this point, now more than two months removed from any NBA action, it seems nearly impossible that they'd be able to finish a full 82-game season, plus a full playoff slate, and still start the 2020-21 season on time.
But the NBA is trying, as Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN recently reported.
It's no surprise the NBA wants to return to action as soon as they can. But how exactly they'll go about returning to play, and how that will look, is still to be determined. As of now, we are still without basketball.
Even if the season does resume, things are pretty much over for the Wizards this season. As it currently stands, the Wizards are 5.5 games behind the Orlando Magic, who now hold the East's final playoff spot. It would take nothing short of a miracle for them to make a playoff push.
Even though we only got to see 64 games as opposed to 82, a 24-40 record leaves no doubt that this Washington Wizards team – without John Wall – is far from a contender. The numbers, beyond just wins and losses, prove that their record was no fluke.
Here are the five numbers that defined the Washington Wizards season (so far).

TypeScript 3.7 has been released with a few changes but one that we will focus on in this article is "Optional Operator". It is elegant powerful and also simple to use.
function getRandomNumber() {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);
function isEvenNumber(number: number) {
return number % 2 == 0;
function getPerson() {
if (isEvenNumber(getRandomNumber())) {
return {
name: {
firstName: 'Keerati',
lastName: 'Limkulphong',
getFullName: function() {
return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`;
From the snippet code, getPerson function might return undefined if the random number is an odd number. Therefore if you are going to use the return value of this function, without an optional operator you will have to do this.
const maybePerson = getPerson();
if (maybePerson) {
if (maybePerson && maybePerson.name) {
if (maybePerson && maybePerson.name && maybePerson.name.getFullName) {
This is quite hideous and it is quite annoying if you have to do this all the time. You might use lodash (_.get) operator to handle this case but that requires one more library.
Fortunately, now with Typescript 3.7, we have the optional operator. If you have been using Angular you might be familiar with this but if you are not, that's fine. Let me explain it.
const maybePerson = getPerson();
Basically, you just put ? (optional operator) after the variable or property or method that might be undefined or null then follow with . (dot).
Line 3: if maybePerson is null or undefined, it will stop there and return undefined otherwise it will return the value of maybePerson.name
Line 5: if maybePerson is an object but name is null or undefined, it will stop there and return undefined otherwise it will return the value of maybePerson.name.firstName
Line 9: if maybePerson is an object and name is an object but getFullName method is undefined, it will stop there and return undefined otherwise it will invoke getFullName method.
The optional operator will always return undefined if the value we try to check is undefined or null.
Other falsy values will not be caught by an optional operator (false, 0, empty string, NaN)

By Arnie Sherman • Feb 10, 2020 Courtesy of Brigitta Miranda-Freer Listen Listening... / 38:55 Can Do: Are Montanans Paying The Cost Of U.S. Trade Wars? Imagine pulling out a new board game's instructions and discovering that the normally skinny pamphlet runs thousands of pages and spells out the rules of the game from soup to nuts. That's what an international trade agreement looks like: it's comprehensive, it's years in the making, and millions of people's livelihoods depend on it. Baucus Optimistic About New Trade Deal With Mexico By Eric Whitney • Aug 27, 2018 Listen Listening... / 1:45 Baucus Optimistic About New Trade Deal With Mexico President Trump's announcement of a trade deal with Mexico sounds like good news for Montana farmers. So says former Montana Senator Max Baucus, now co-director of an advocacy group called Farmers for Free Trade. Baucus says the 25-year-old NAFTA treaty with Mexico and Canada has generally been good for Montana ag producers. He says he doesn't know the details of the U.S. Mexico agreement that the President today announced would replace NAFTA, but Baucus says a new trade agreement is generally a positive.

Difference between revisions of "Diamond Club"

(No difference)
Revision as of 16:18, 3 July 2017
Diamond Group is beyond chatrealm. It is the highest level of fandom that can be achieved by a fan of NSFW other than actually being a guest on the show.
Diamond Membership
The idea of a "Diamond Membership" was first conceived in late October 2010. It was proposed in jest as a special level of NSFW fandom. For an undisclosed price, fans would be able to purchase a Diamond Membership and listen in to all the pre- and post-NSFW show calls between Brian Brushwood and Justin Robert Young.
When asked on October 28, 2010 if Diamond Memberships would actually become available, Justin said, "if we issued Diamond Memberships me and @shwood wouldn't have careers within 2 weeks"
During the aftershow on December 15th, there were further talks about the Diamond Membership. Justin proposed that when Brian and Justin are talking on the phone, they would hit record every now and then and these recordings would be released for the Diamond Members.
In September, during the episode El Celsior, Brian and Justin promoted the first of these recordings, Night Attack, which was subsequently released the next day on Amazon and CDBaby for $1.99. It eventually reached the front page of CDBaby.com, #1 on the Amazon Comedy MP3 charts, and #5 on the Amazon overall MP3 Charts.
Diamond Group
In December 2010, the secret society began to be referred to as "Diamond Group". By February 2011, this term began to be used to refer to people watching the Justin.tv broadcasts of Brian and/or Justin. In chat, people would refer to it as <>.
Diamond Group Day
Diamond Group Day is an annual event which occurs on December 22nd of every year to celebrate the Diamond Group members of Bonearth. The day marks the official founding of Diamond Group when Cowgirlcurtis was initiated as a member on a private video stream. More information about the events of the first Diamond Group Day can be found at the Diamond Group Day page.
Diamond Group Hand Sign
On February 15, 2011, on the "Diamond Group feed" (Justin.tv), Justin Robert Young revealed the new public sign for Diamond Group members.
To make the hand sign, make a "V" sign with your index and middle fingers, rotate one hand 180°, and touch fingertips to form a diamond shape. Having both hands face in the same direction or using the wrong fingers is not a valid <> hand sign and is subject to ridicule.
Diamond Group Members
To become a member:
- Watch the random live streams from Brian and Justin
- Take a photo of yourself doing the Diamond Group hand sign
If you can manage to take a photo of yourself while both hands are in frame, you are obviously elite enough to be in the Diamond Group!
Patrick Delahanty made 10 Diamond Group T-shirts which were distributed at SXSW 2011. Shortly after SXSW, he planned to open up orders to Diamond Group Members and sell more shirts at cost (or very close to it)...but never had time. (Hey, remember that Afterlyfe.me project? That too.)
Brian and Justin made shirts available during Dragon*Con: Con of a Dragon 2: Double Complete Dragon. They sold the leftover shirts during Episode 94 at shop.nsfwshow.com but they had sold out by the end of the episode.
In the summer of 2012, Chatrealm wrote a sexy novel meant to take on Fifty Shades of Grey titled The Diamond Group: A Novel. In the book, most of the events are centered around a nightclub known as "The Diamond Group".
Current Members
Diamond Core
Diamond Core is a subset of Diamond Group which consists of people behind the scenes at TWiT who aid in getting the show out to the masses.

GS-911 Diagnostic tool for BMW motorcycles
The engine management systems on today's BMW GS motorcycles are smart, efficient and reliable, but there's little to do when your motorcycle dies except to watch a blinking fault light and wait for roadside assistance.
Our GS-911 Professional tool taps into the diagnostic port on most BMWs, exchanging commands and data with software we have loaded onto our computer. Depending on the model and year of your BMW, the unit will read out Engine Control Unit (ECU) data and real-time information, run function tests, read and clear fault codes, and reset service reminders. The Hex Code professional can be used on an unlimited number of bikes.
What models are covered in GS-911?
Shown here are some of the models covered in either of the full release.
F650GS (800cc 2 cylinder)
What functionality does it have?
§ Read Diagnostic Fault Codes - This shows the Fault codes and text descriptions of the faults stored on the Electronic Control Unit.
§ Shows ECU information - See hardware and software versions, manufacturing dates, and other manufacturer related data.
§ Clears Diagnostic Fault Codes - Enables you to erase fault codes once the problem has been fixed.
§ Real-time Analog and Digital values for Engine control units - View and log the real-time values (very dependent on the type of controller)
§ Service Functionality - This differs from model to model and controller to controller, and ranges from Service Reminder resets, output tests adaptation resets etc.
For more information: Contact RCR Motorcycles at 198 Durban Road, Bellville, Cape Town, 7530 (pricing start from R250.00)
