I'm wondering, why the LIS302DL kernel driver returns 16bit values for each axis. Because the sensor itself has only 8bit resolution for each axis. The next question is if the returned values are normalized to "g * 10^-2" or just upscaled raw values (which makes no sense). Because 1g in 8bit would be ~64 if the sensor is set to +-2g range (which can be changed to +-8g range within the sensor). When the returned values are representing "cm/s^2" than you are right that the z-value is a bit off. But i can't find any related information about how to interpreted the returned x/y/z axis values on the wiki page. Ciao, Rainer

The Tiki God Is Most Amused!Zerostreet Blog
Thought I'd share some of the the Tiki illustrations I've been working on lately. I sketched out some idea I had for a Tiki t-shirt at lunch a few weeks ago and that has lead to a number of sketches and finished illustrations. Some of these are available as 5×7 inch canvas prints now and as t-shirts soon. Also soon look for 8×10 matted prints.
The items you see below will soon be added to our store. They are 5.5″ X 7.5″ canvas prints of my tiki illustrations mounted on stained pine with a hook for hanging. I am making them by hand myself and have yet to determine prices of quanities. Look for them soon!
Here's my latest:

The Randwick Equine Centre (REC) is renowned for excellence and comprehensive quality care of both the performance and pleasure horse. As well as having specialists in equine surgery and medicine, we have a number of veterinarians who focus on lameness in horses across all disciplines. The horse's foot is a major source of lameness and performance limitation. The saying 'no foot, no horse' is used world-wide for good reason! Taking good care and fully understanding the horse's foot is therefore of paramount importance for management and prevention of many lameness issues.
REC have recently launched Randwick Equine Podiatry (REP) to give you and your horse the best possible foot care. REP is made up of a team of vets who work in collaboration with master farrier Garth Derrig to achieve the most accurate assessment and optimal recommendations for your horse.
Garth has been an active member of the farrier community based in the Hawkesbury district for the past 21 years. He became a Master Farrier in 1998, and has also spent time furthering his experience in the United States. He has a particular interest in therapeutic farriery and extensive experience in trimming and shoeing techniques required for hoof related problems and lameness.
Our podiatry consultation involves static and dynamic evaluation of the hoof and leg conformation and foot radiographs using barium markers. These are discussed in conjunction with previous or current lameness concerns to allow the best possible shoeing plan and hoof maintenance for your horse's soundness.
REP is useful for sound horses to optimize foot balance, prevent injuries and reduce the risk of future lameness, as well as for horses with lameness due to foot pathology. Improvements in foot balance and shoeing modifications are also of vital importance when managing other injuries such as proximal suspensory ligament inflammation and 'bowed' tendons. And of course REP can help with everyday foot headaches such as laminitis and abscesses.
Call us (0478 179 874) or drop us a line (firstname.lastname@example.com) for any advice or to arrange a consultation with Garth Derrig and one of our REP vets.

We don't know when, exactly, Kendrick found his way into the XXL office to record this two-minute video of him rapping along to Eminem's "My Name Is" plus cuts from Jigga and 50, but at some point in time, Kendrick did just that. Rap nerds, this one's for you.

@AJ @Cell. I was amazed & had fun watching more than anything. This one petite white chick got up on stage & rocked all 3 verses of Rock.Co.Kane.FLow by De La & MF DOOM by herself. These were genuine fans of the music who could get up on stage & pretend, for one moment, they were their idols. I mean, who wouldn't want to trade places, right? I'd like to switch with a white person and have good credit, have opportunities handed to me, and not have a care in the world lol

Hip Hop… Hell, Karaoake in general always walks that line of are you doing it to have fun or are you doing it to ridicule? It's sorta like Dave Chappelle said "are they laughing with me or are they laughing at me? Are they laughing cuz they get it or are they using me to laugh at black people?"
Kendrick obviously gets it and was just having fun with it. but most rap/urban karaoke is just about laughing at ish you can't do/don't get and take some sideways pleasure in walking away from it like "i got better things to do anyway".
By: ADrake2207.03.2014 @ 11:13 PM
Eh, idk about that. Typically, the wp's I've been around, the hip-hop karaoke they do is almost all massively know, popular & edited records. Maybe your experience is different, but I've never seen any malice or shady ignorance.

It's the awesome time of the year where bloggers from all over Miami come together for the very important "Fashion for a Cause" campaign in order to help raise breast cancer awareness. I was a part of this campaign last year (see post here) and I'm so honored to be able to participate again with 30+ other fashion bloggers for this year's project. I loved working with Alex from Alta Images and major shoutout to the Sagamore Hotel for allowing the shoot to take place in one of their fabulous bungalow suites.
The Miami based brand Peace Love World outfitted us with several items from their breast cancer awareness collection…lucky us! I love my Peace Love World tee…it's so comfy and their message both outside and inside of the shirt are beautiful and inspiring.
I'm wearing:
Bronté Amsterdam "newsboy" cap
Peace Love World "I am life" v-neck tee
Zara crystal flower necklace
Zara skinny jeans
This year we've partnered up with Bloomingdales in Aventura and The Falls Shopping Center where our pictures will be displayed until the end of the month (October) and also where you can buy the Peace Love World collection.
And of course, there has to be a gathering and a little more fashion…we are fashion bloggers after all. Be sure to stop by the Bloomingdales in Aventura on October 17th from 6 to 9pm. There will be a Fashion for a Cause event called "Bloomies and Bloggers" where real runway models and bloggers will hit the catwalk in Peace Love World attire as well as some of Bloomingdale's hottest fall collections. Besides watching the fashion walk down the runway, come and get your hair styled by SoBlo, enjoy delicious cupcakes from BunnieCakes and sips by Societe Perrier. Support a good cause, enjoy some fashion and mingle with bloggers…sounds like a perfect combination of fabulousness :)
Hope to see you there!

Aberfeldy fire situation 7 Feb 2013
By: CFA Media

The Aberfeldy fire spotted over control lines on the northern edge, west of Glenfalloch Station today, 7 February developing rapidly in the hot, dry conditions and creating a smoke plume visible for many kilometres.
The Wollangarra Outdoor Education Camp was under threat and the fire also came close to private property at Glenfalloch Station.
DSE Incident Controller, Peter West said DSE and CFA strike teams helped staff at the camp to defend the property, which is not currently being directly affected by the fire.
"We attacked the fire aggressively from the air today as the remote country it's burning in is not accessible by ground crews," Mr West said.
"Machinery and ground crews have been constructing control lines to the east of the fire, west of the
"Ash and burnt leaves from this fire have been carried a long way to the south-east and the smoke also affected communities over a great distance."
The focus tomorrow will be on asset protection, particularly in the Glenfalloch and Licola area.
"Residents near the fire area and further afield should stay vigilant and be aware of changing weather conditions in their area as this fire is far from over," Mr West said.

The IPAB said Tykerb, the salt form of Lapatinib, GSK Pharma's original anti-cancer molecule, did not meet the basic invention criteria to qualify under section 3(d) of the Patent Act. (Agencies) Latest News from Business News Desk
However, the IPAB upheld the patent of GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals's original compound Lapatinib, citing innovative merit. Lapatinib has a patent valid until 2019. The development follows Swiss drug maker Novartis losing the patent battle in April for its Glivec in the Supreme Court, which raised concerns among global pharma firms about India's patent regime. The Apex Court had prevented drug companies from claiming patents for incremental innovations.
The order was passed on a petition by Fresenius Kabi Oncology, which challenged the patents granted for the original molecule and its marketed version, Tykerb, saying both lacked innovation. The ruling was delivered on July 27 by Justice Prabha Sridevan, chairman of the IPAB's Chennai bench. The British drug major had slashed the price of Tykerb by more than a third recently.
A GSK Pharma India spokesperson said that the ruling is a mixed bag as the patent for its basic Lapatinib compound has been upheld, while that of Tykerb has been revoked. "We are disappointed that the IPAB has revoked our later expiring patent for the Lapatinib ditosylate salt. This latter ruling only relates to the Lapatinib ditosylate salt patent in the country and does not affect our basic patent for Tykerb or corresponding patents in other countries.
The IPAB ordered that Lapatinib ditosylate, the claimed invention of the salt variation of the drug under Patent No IN221171, "is obvious and is hit by section 3(d) and Patent No 221171 is revoked."
The board said, "According to the Patent Act of 1970, the patent is revoked if the invention is obvious and the applicant has failed to provide evidence on the contrary." GSK Pharma shares lost almost 3 percent to close at Rs 2,271.55 on the BSE on Friday.
The IPAB said Tykerb, the salt form of Lapatinib, GSK Pharma's original anti-cancer molecule, did not meet the basic invention criteria to qualify under section 3(d) of the Patent Act.

Olympic security: an old, old problem
Page Tools
Travel warnings about the Athens Games may be another way of inviting trouble.
In ancient Greece, ekecheiria - meaning a truce or, more literally, a "holding of hands" - was announced before and during Olympic festivals. This was to enable visitors to travel safely to and from the Games and to honour the god Zeus. The city-state of Elis, the host to the Games, was not to be attacked. Athletes from warring nations were not to harm one another, even though they might be mortal enemies in combat. There was only one breach - the Spartans were banned from participating one year because they had attacked Elis after the truce was declared. A de facto Olympic truce has been observed, for the most part, during the history of the modern games, although the event was suspended during both World Wars. Even at the height of the Cold War, although superpower politics often intruded, the only physical battles fought were in the arena (and memorably, during the 1956 Melbourne Games, in the swimming pool). That was until Munich in 1972 when Palestinian terrorists entered the Olympic village disguised as athletes, killing two Israelis and taking nine others hostage. By the end of the day, all the hostages, five of their captors and a German policeman were dead after a failed rescue attempt.
The threat of a terrorist attack on the Olympics is hardly a new one. Organisers have long been aware of the danger of violence spilling into the Games, even before September 11, 2001. That is why 5000 military (including most of Australia's Special Forces), thousands of state and federal police and 30,000 private security guards were deployed during the Sydney Games in 2000. Yet at $1.2 billion and steadily rising, the estimated cost of security for the Athens Olympics, to be staged between August 13 and 29, is already four times that of Sydney. Little wonder, then, that Greek Olympic officials have been angered by Australia's decision to upgrade its security warning for Australian citizens travelling to Greece almost three months ahead of the event. The warning was triggered by three bomb blasts in Athens this month. The head of the Athens Olympic Organising Committee has attacked the timing and content of the warning, saying that "any suggestions that we do not take the security preparations seriously are wrong". There are, of course, risks involved in travelling just about anywhere these days. The Australian Government, especially since the Bali tragedy in October 2002, is sensitive to the need to warn Australian citizens travelling abroad. This is in part a reaction to accusations that it failed to adequately warn Australians about Bali. Yet as in previous Olympics, athletes, officials and spectators must trust that the authorities have done everything to secure their safety. To do otherwise is to surrender to the fear terrorists seek to spread - and that would be a victory for them.

I've been out of moutain biking for a while and just recently found my motivation. I've been out for about 5 years now. I used to ride a trail up to Santiago truck trail that started out at the Joplin youth center. We used to park at Sr. Lico's (sp - and probably not there now) and ride up about .5 miles of paved single lane to a fence that skirted the youth camp. The trail was a steady climb up to the truck trail were a turn south led to Old Camp and a turn right took you to the Luge. Does that trail past the youth center still exist? I know years ago there was debate over who owned/controlled the property and there are som ominous trespassing signs leading up to it. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? Anybody know the name of that trail?
We used to ride that trial up to Old Camp, and then back down the Luge, onto Live Oak down to the Monestary and then onto some singletrack through O'Neil and back to Sr. Lico's. It's about a 2 hour ride that we used to do at night. I'd like to ride it again as I really liked that particular climb vs. coming from Whiting.

Sun Dog Arts & Entertainment Faire Photos
Sunday, December 02, 2012
For three days, some of the best artisans and specialty food sellers descend on Saskatoon. Some 200 booths are crammed into our stadium on the top mezzanine and bottom floor. They have craft demonstrations, a children's area, an ethnic food court, constant entertainment and give away over $4000 in Gift certificates from the people displaying their wares!
As my favorite bands were playing first thing in the morning, that suited my Mom well as she always likes to go early and so agreed to go. We enjoyed listening to Dr. Don & The Black Mambas, Soundwave (totally instrumental band no vocals) and Zydegogo (a woman was playing the washboard). Mom & I picked up a love of Cajun music when we were in New Orleans and listening to all the lively bands playing on the streets :)
The bands played in front of the food court area and we sat up in the stadium to listen:
the place was huge, but packed:
This is Louise of Iskwew (woman) Beadworks, who is from La Ronge, where my Mom was born. She is the most incredibly talented beadwokrer I have seen in a long time. its a dying art, but she is bringing it back to life. When she saw how moose hair tufting was done, that gave her the idea to try 3D beadwork and she worked at it until it turned out the way she wanted:
These flowers lift up. A 2D image does not do them justice:
This jacket (which she sewed up from scratch) has a big eagle design on the back (I so wanted it)
She also made these gauntlets and mukluks:
Her personal favorite colors were silver and black:
I for sure will be wanting to contact her to make a vest for me. I love my vests, I live in them :)
I always get a kick of the metal sculpters that use anything they can get their hands on to make something, talk about saving the enviroment!
one place was making these silly fleece hats:
More incredible metal work, what detail!
The incredible lost art of real wooden rocking horses come back to life in a very artistic way:
The wood he used and the rendering were awesome. I didn't look at the price tag, but imagine only the very well to do would be buying these for their grandkids :P
Go Riders! I would say Go Canadians maybe if you were actually playing :P
Got to have more horses here:
Well, having Mom along put a monkey wrench in my plans as its tough to get her something when she is right there, but at the same time, it gave me the opportunity to see if anything actually caught her fancy, but unfortunately, nothing did :( I was kicking myself for not thinking of getting the Saskatchewan Roughrider metal sculpture for my nephew's new house as he is a HUGE fan -he even saved a bag of potato chips that had the Roughriders on it, don't know how old it was, but my sister wanted it moved out of the house with him lol.
Well, I had a thoroughly unproductive day. I 'slept' in, staying in bed late and actually getting 5.5 hours of broken sleep, more than I have had in a long time. It felt so good to rest. Part of the difference was I could tolerate sleeping on my right side for a while before waking up. I am usually too uncomfortable sleeping on my side. Even with the cushioning of pillows and blanket, my shoulder, elbow, feet and knees generally don't like weight stacked on them. Might be the painkiller is working enough to allow me to do it, which means my back isn't sore in that position. I worked out with 60 minutes on the elliptical and power walk with weights DVD for 45 minutes, showered, had a late breakfast and tried to catch up with my Spark buddies. I ended up doing that for most of the day and never getting to the club work that I wanted to. bad girl. That annual meeting is next weekend and I am not even half done my statistics and data entry :P. I did four loads of laundry, scrubbed up my dishes and went to the club in the heavy snowfall to set up the game. Woohoo, the first to make tracks!
A visitor who maybe didn't think we were going to get much snow and never turned completely white!
I had an almost normal tummy day, so I am hopeful the worst is over. I don't know if the big turkey meal I had Saturday might change that. Overate to the tune of 4,000 calories -my big weakness is the dressing and I indulged in two cups of it along with a generous helping of the whole berry home made cranberry dressing. I also don't know if the acidophilis treatment may have finally kicked in, but I am almost out of those capsules. Not sure I will get more if my GI tract is finally settling down.
Thanks for stopping by and all your support.
Have a Marvelous Monday!

Great photos showing off what I have to reuse your word: amazing artisan work. What a joy to be in the room with this art! Those rocking horses? Beautiful... and I rather suspect that if MY grandmother had owned such a treasure, her grandchildren (including me) would not have been allowed to touch it, much less ride on it!

You get to have the BEST craft fairs! And I have always loves metal sculpture. My brother is a machinest and I asked him to make me something from what he uses every day... his smart butt made me an alluminum square cube. Solid! Then he said... It's a paperweight!
i wanted to sling it at his head. But I do have it in my drawer. And he did make me some pretty cool dice a yeat after the paperweight.
But my old boss bought me a wrought iron dragon holiding a prism ball. It's heavy and gorgeous, but it will also gouge a hole in your head if it falls out of th window! See my boss provided me with a weapon! She knew me. HAHA
Gorgreous work there and I know you had a blast!

Dear Linda,
You always have so much to share with us. I marvel at all the things that you do. I love artisan fairs and have participated in a few myself. I just can't focus myself in a single direction.
Wishing you another night of more good sleep.

Craig Gilroy can get back on Ireland radar
With Ulster having provided seven of the 15 players who started in last Saturday night's 29-17 Test victory over Argentina in Resistencia, there was an encouraging follow-up when the Emerging Ireland side was named.
Five Ulster-honed players are in the starting line-up for today's IRB Nations Cup opener against Russia in Bucharest (2pm), albeit that Niall Annett will be turning out for the Worcester Warriors next season.
For 23-year-old Craig Gilroy – named on the right wing – this represents a much-needed opportunity to climb back up the ladder.
In 2012-13, he could do no wrong; five starts in five Tests, four of them in the Six Nations with two tries for good measure, the first a gem against Argentina.
But in 2013-14 he played no part in any internationals, injury and a loss of form having seen him slip off the radar. This is his chance to stake a claim for a recall.
Scrum-half Paul Marshall turns 29 next month and he knows time is not on his side.
But for inside-centre Stuart McCloskey it's a different scenario. Having made his Ulster debut on February 28, the Dungannon-nurtured Hughes Academy protège has made rapid progress.
Annett is the hooker and Callum Black will be on his left side.
Ulster centurion Tom Court's departure for London Irish has provided Black with a huge opportunity.
Before exiting, Court paid the player who had been his rival for the number one jersey a huge compliment. "Over the past two years I'd say Callum has been our best player in terms of consistency," was Court's assessment.
Emerging Ireland v Russia (IRB Nations Cup, Stadionul National Arcul de Triumf, Bucharest, today, 2pm): Johne Murphy (Munster)*; Craig Gilroy (Ulster), Eoin Griffin (Connacht)*, Stuart McCloskey (Ulster)*, Andrew Conway (Munster)*; Ian Keatley (Munster), Paul Marshall (Ulster); Callum Black (Ulster)*, Niall Annett (Ulster)*, Michael Bent (Leinster); Mick Kearney (Connacht)*, David Foley (Munster)*; Dominic Ryan (Leinster, captain)*, Tommy O'Donnell (Munster), Robin Copeland (Cardiff Blues)*. Replacements: James Tracy (Leinster)*, John Ryan (Munster)*, Billy Holland (Munster)*, Sean Dougall (Munster)*, Luke McGrath (Leinster)*, JJ Hanrahan (Munster)*, Brendan Macken (Leinster)*
*uncapped at full-international level.

All February long, I've been celebrating Girls Who Wear Glasses in honor of my 19th Century bespectacled Pippa and One Good Earl Deserves a Lover. I planned Girls Who Wear Glasses month about six months ago, knowing that I was going to invite some of my favorite writers, artists and ladies in lenses to join me to celebrate spectacles. A few months ago, Eric and I headed off to an Ani DiFranco concert and discovered an amazing band called Pearl and the Beard. On their website, they describe themselves as: three voices, one cello, one guitar, one glockenspiel, one melodica, several drums, one accordion, ninety-six teeth, and one soul.
They're also two girls and a guy who wear glasses -- Jocelyn Mackenzie, Emily Hope Price, and Jeremy Styles.
Oh, and I should mention that they're awesome on a number of levels.
"Eric," I announced. "They would be awesome for Girls Who Wear Glasses Month!"
Reader, I was not wrong. I'm so excited to share the interview I did with Emily & Jocelyn below...and to giveaway some Pearl & the Beard Swag...and hopefully make Pearl & the Beard some fab new Romance fans.
Sarah: Part of what I love about your songs is the clever writing...so I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you're a trio of readers...so...if Pearl & the Beard were a book...what kind would you be?
Emily: If we're talking about Genre, I would say a children's fairy tale book - but the OG kind: the ones that were really for adults under the guise of being for children (blood, guts, betrayal, evil, etc) or a Roald Dahl fairy tale.
Jocelyn: I'd say we'd be a Choose Your Own Adventure book for kids, but with a lot of curse words in it. Or Go The Fuck to Sleep.
Sarah: One of the best parts of a romance novel is the first meeting...let's talk about yours: How'd you find each other...and how'd you know that you three were destined for each other?
Emily: Once, long ago, a mermaid was spit out of the sea onto a deserted beach. Knocked unconscious, she began to wither away in the sun. Jeremy, a sailor at the time, had been living in a lighthouse for several years just a few miles away from this same beach. One morning he went collecting fish from his traps in the ocean, like you do, when he came upon the mermaid. He saw her face and began to weep it was so beautiful. A single tear dropped into the mermaid's eye. Suddenly, her tail fell off and flipped away into the ocean!
Jeremy screamed like a little girl, but the mermaid's upper half (which of course was a beautiful girl), started to shake and, without warning, it turned into none other than a beautiful shining guitar. With strings. And it was tuned. And it had an extra 9 volt battery in its pickup. And you could hear it without needing to plug it in to a sound system for MILES and MILES. It was amazing and completely magical. And it was FREE! He looked at it longingly for several minutes and, at first cradling it, then impulsively raising it to the sky, screamed, "PEEEEEAAAAARRRRRLLLL!"
Emily and Jocelyn, sisters of the now deceased beached mermaid-turned-guitar, heard his cry from the ocean and swam to him. Now, Jeremy had a huge beard – it was like a beacon to them – calling them by name. It glowed in the sun!
"BEEEEAAAAARRRRRDDDD!" they called back. "You killed our sister! She is a guitar now. You jerk!" Now, everyone knows the only way to get your guitar-mermaid sister back is to shave the beard off of the person in possession of the guitar and sprinkle its remains into the sea. So, Emily and Jocelyn are cursed to be with Jeremy and his guitar forever until they can successfully shave off Jeremy's beard. Hence the name: Pearl and the Beard.
Jocelyn: Also, we met at open mic nights in New York at Pete's Candy Store in BKLYN and Sidewalk Cafe in Manhattan, respectively.
Sarah: As a writer, song lyrics are a huge inspiration for me while I'm writing -- these days I'm particularly fond of Voice in my Throat (I recently wrote a whole scene inspired by "You're the dream, and I never woke.") -- what's your trick for unlocking creativity?
Emily: I find creativity can sometimes be like trying to get a kid to do his math homework (or any homework for that matter). Sometimes, possibly not EVERY time, you need to trick him into thinking he ISN'T learning or ISN'T actually doing his homework. This is what creativity is like sometimes. Sometimes we need to trick ourselves into being creative - games and exercises are one way of waking up the creative monster that will so often hide from us in his den of slack and potato chips. It works - you have to be diligent and patient, but it works!
Jocelyn: Thanks for being inspired by us! I'd say I'm personally inspired by mundane moments that then turn into analogies. Voice in my Throat for instance started simply by narrating what I was doing: "I walk down the road and I'm alone again." When a narration turns to a third person voice, I can often then see the situation from a third eye and it can quickly turn quite poetic. Also, don't forget to read a lot, look at a lot of art, listen to a ton of new music... any new art form you have in your arsenal is a tool that can teach you new ways of seeing, hearing, experiencing the world.
Sarah: Perfect advice. Now for the most important question! Who's Your Favorite Lady in Lenses?
Emily: I just found out that Christina Hendrick's wears glasses! YES. But I wouldn't say she is a "glasses wearer". A ton of famous women actually need to wear corrective lenses but most done contacts, so you'd never know. It's a little unfortunate actually. Women who are "known" for wearing glasses are usually older women - Like Diane Keaton. But there's also Janeane Garofalo - both women I like.
Jocelyn: I'd have to say my mama, Annemarie. She's so beautiful! Musically I'd vote for Danielle Ate The Sandwich.
Thank you both so much for joining us to celebrate Girls Who Wear Glasses month! I hope to see you around Brooklyn very soon so I can fangirl in person.
Let's talk about music! What song or artist inspires you? What song can make you happy even on your darkest days? What band have you seen a million times in concert? Share your musical obsessions in comments for a chance to win this AWESOME Pearl & the Beard swag -- their t-shirt and their CD God Bless Your Weary Soul. Amanda Richardson.
One winner, US only, will be chosen on Tuesday!

Blacksmith Supplies – Blacksmith Gas Forge Fundamentals
To supplement my previous post about gas forges, below is an article providing the fundamentals of a blacksmith gas forge:
Blacksmith Gas Forge Fundamentals
Author: David
Blacksmith Gas Forges are an Economical and Clean Alternative to Coal Forges
The basic flame for a blacksmith is the forge. Traditionally the forge used charcoal or coal as the fuel. These are generally still used today and are referred to as solid fuel forges or most often coal forges.
In recent times with the availability of propane gas, an alternate form of heat source developed. The blacksmith gas forge is really a small convenient tool that allows similar temperatures while not quite as hot as a coal forge but with out the mess or even the smoke, and it is quite portable.
A gas forge has many advantages and some disadvantages as a heat source for a blacksmith. The main disadvantage is the fact that it usually has a lower heat than coal forge. Another disadvantage is that no matter what you\'re heating, it needs to easily fit in the box. Large complex shapes become very difficult to work with.
The blacksmith gas forge is ideal for knife makers and many artistic blacksmiths use it too. Knife makers are often working long straight bars for their knives. they can also employ the gas forge for heat treating many alloys of steel. It typically has a longer more uniform heat
than the usual coal forge. This means you are able to heat treat a longer blade in a gas forge than the usual standard coal forge.
In several parts of the world propane is easily available and it is cost effective in comparison with coal or charcoal. The bottom price of a blacksmith gas forge is greater than a coal forge as there are many parts that have to be synchronized as well as some exact tolerances.
It is a fact that a coal forge is more versatile and cheaper to construct however it does require a supply of coal and isn\'t very portable. What this means is you need a dedicated spot to do your blacksmithing. This location needs to be within an area where smoke isn\'t an issue.
Gas forges and solid fuel forges consume oxygen and produce both deadly carbon monoxide (poisonous) and carbon dioxide. Smoke is a major by product of the coal forge. Proper ventilation is essential for both. The propane forge can be vented just with keeping the windows open and doors or with a collector and vent above the forge.
A coal forge needs a chimney to draw the smoke from the building. A well constructed chimney will remove all the smoke easily. Look for plans for any side draft forge for just one of the best options. For chimneys which have under optimum draw you can also add a fan
within the stack so that it will be a power exhaust for that smoke. This is effective.
Although a coal forge reaches higher temperatures, the heat is more concentrated. A properly constructed fire radiates hardly any heat into the room. A gas forge radiates a great deal of heat into a work shop. This is fine during the cold months but can be horrible in the summer time.
Many blacksmiths love the tradition of the coal forge. Lots of other blacksmiths have discovered the simplicity with the propane forge, and it is a great place to start or a versatile supplemental tool. Some blacksmiths utilize it as his or her main heat source for all their work.

University Park, College of Engineering (B E)
PROFESSOR ROY E. YOUNG, Head of the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering
This major helps prepare students for careers involving the application of engineering principles to agricultural and biological production systems, processing systems, and conservation of land and water resources. Education in mathematics, physics, and engineering sciences common to all engineering disciplines is provided along with specialized training in biological and agricultural sciences. The curriculum covers all areas of agricultural and biological engineering, including food engineering, postharvest handling and processing of commodities, power and machinery development and applications, resource management and utilization, soil and water management, and structures and their environmental modifications, product synthesis using microbiological organisms, and food safety. A student can select the Agricultural Engineering option or the Biological and Food Engineering option.
The objectives of the Biological Engineering program include:
Design experiences are integrated throughout the junior-year curriculum by having students solve problems typical of those encountered in the agricultural and biological engineering profession. Two major design experiences in the senior year emphasize that agricultural and biological engineers must learn not only how to create and use the newest technology, but also to assess and manage the social and ethical consequences of that technology.
Careers for graduates include design, development, and research engineering positions involving food processing, machinery development, soil and water management, materials handling, biological product development, and structural systems for animals, plants, and crop storage. Agricultural and biological engineers are employed in industry, consulting firms, and governmental agencies in the United States and abroad. Graduates deal with the various engineering aspects associated with production and processing of food, fiber, and other biological materials, within the constraints of environmental protection and natural resource conservation.
For the B.S. degree in Biological Engineering, a minimum of 130 credits is required. This baccalaureate program in Agricultural and Biological Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012; telephone 410-347-7700; or www.abet.org.

Diddy what a lovely garden you've got. I think those orange loungers would need my help to stop floating away most of the time.With a nice cold drink just to hand.
05 Sep 2013 23:25
Thank you PG you are so kind.There's lots more when i can be bothered to get out the box brownie.I dont have much garden realy it,s just a council house we had been allocated to us when we came back from mexico,after we were ripped of by a lawyer out there.But however like all good british people,and i do not mean that in any biased or predjudise way,you just get up and brush your self down and move on.
I had the house handed to us and stepped outside into the garden ( as the house did not interest me ) and the council had been in with stimmer,s and blitzed everything right down to the ground,not a blade of grass was left standing.
However i was very greatfull that they gave us a house at all,but my eyes lit up when i saw the woods at the bottom of the garden as i am a lover of nature " yes including the grey squirrels".I knew that everything else was irrelavent.Due to the nature of the ground which is realy heavy clay it has been landscaped by myself twice now.I had lawn and boarders first,but it saturated throughout the winter.It was then i decided to rip it up and start again,this time i chose to hard lanscape the garden,which was to be constructed using a selection of gravel some york stone and decking and included a water feature and a couple of borders. this is softened with the use of various pots and types of mixed flowers for the bees and butterflies,but alsonot forgetting my tropical plants.Friends are asking me if they can come on their holidays here lol.
sorry about that,dont i go on.

gj... if you want to make a complaint about BT don't get me started I have the address you can write too. I will never purchase any service from them as long as there's air in my lungs. You would not believe what a call costs if you get it put through from their directory enquires....and I was told the call had already been paid for when asking the question what it would cost....you can ring Australia and talk for an hour or more and it costs less than an 8min BT call to a house within walking distance...when I rang their on line service to complain the guy I spoke to agreed no one would pay for a call costing that much per min if they knew what it was costing them...
06 Sep 2013 07:51
Don't talk about BT to me either. When my Dad died 4 yeras ago, they didn't cut the phone off and despite umpteen calls they kept charging us for rental etc. Guess what? When it was eventually sorted - after threatening us with court action- they owed us money. I've just spent five months in dispute with a utility co. who kept insisting I owed them £60. Kept on at them - they never reply to emails etc, threatened me with court as well,so I said I was going to my lawyer. Yes, yet again, they owed me money. They have offered me £20 in compensation. I'm considering telling them where they can shove it....sideways.
First Utility- don't touch them with a barge pole folks.
Use that site 'saynoto0870' and get freephone or local numbers for calls. I never use these premium numbers. Also - if you don't press any button when they give you options you'll be put through to someone right away.

Here's my 3 pennys' worth.I was treated to a state of the art PULSATING ociliating sprinkler from DOBIES. I need to go on a course to learn to adjust it. Despite SEVERAL E-mails to them and expensive long phone calls for instructions(none on box) I have have had NO joy. Small wonder that they had to be taken over by God TESCO to survive.When will retailers learn that GOOD after sale service is what makes them money. Word of mouth and bad publicity is damaging. One good job that Twitter does do
06 Sep 2013 09:05
going back to price of plants.. i have not bought any plants form a garden for a long time..so have no idea of their price.. i am trying to gather plants form seeds.. (as in the seedshare) cuttings and swaping with neighbours.. and any i grow and dont need i sell at top of my garden at 3 for a £1.00 or £1.50 - £2.00 for the larger plants..and they go like hot cakes.. brill.. then the money goes into buyingmore compost and seeds. a good rotation system i think.. and the fact i sell unusual plants (that cant be got a garden centres here as they very restricted in choice) as well as the annual bedding ones..
this year i sold £325 worth of them.. loads of compost, seeds and all otehr garden required needs..
06 Sep 2013 11:07
That's great GF I do a simular thing with my crosmia's,Have you seen the price they are charging in the garden centres for a few bulbs in a pot,it's disgracefull.I gather the seeds and sell them on ebay,again this pay's for my running cost through-out the year for such as compost and other sundrie's, another little tip is to go to b&q on a tuesday and look for damaged bags of compost,they reduce it before wednesday morning ready for the OAP day.Lot's of people dig a hole into the compost to see what they are buying.And once the bag has been damaged they will reduce it for you if asked.\this does not mean that i condone people going round and punching holes in bag's of compost or even stone chipping's.

Ha, fart! Love it! My step-mother used to fart when she stood up. Unfortunately, my two teenage boys roared with laughter and set me off. We were the embarrased ones after for laughing so much. Poor woman...
07 Sep 2013 14:47
the best one was when the mother in law was helping my wife to fit new curtain's,she was stood on a stool right in the middle of the window.My eldest son who was about 14 at the time got up and pulled her pants down.She could do nothing as she was holding the curtains up,we have laughed for years over that one.
she was fuming,she was on full show in the middle of our front window te te te ha ha.

Might as well start the way you mean to go on, diddy.

Oh, this is such a funny thread! Embarrased myself by looking at durex in Sains - was so fancily packaged and some bizarre name like silky smooth (thought it was wax for legs) and at the end of an aisle in a cardboard stand. Reading intently, realised what it was! It's just not something that I would choose to stand and read in such an open place.

I shot dope, sold drugs, did crimes, went to jail. It doesn't mean I have to continue living like that. — Patrick O'Neil
Patrick O'Neil shouldn't be alive. Statistically, at least, he should be either dead or locked up for the rest of his life. That he is neither dead nor in jail given the life he's lead is a testament to the power of the human spirit. That, and a good lawyer. I first "met" Patrick in that causal online way you do these days, following him on Twitter and Facebook, over on G+ (yeah, it still exists for those bold, or lazy, enough to be there). At first, he was simply someone whose wry observations on daily life and self-deprecating humor made the online experience a little more pleasant, and unusual—seriously, his recounting of his ongoing "battles" with the TSA are worth the follow alone.
But then I started to dig a little deeper, beyond the witty tweets and goofy selfies, and began exploring his writing via his Los Angeles and San Francisco essays. From there, I ventured into his blog, Full Blue Moon Dementia, which Patrick has been writing for over a decade at this point. It quickly became apparent this was a person who'd lived an immensely interesting, complex and challenging life. He'd been in at the ground level during the early punk scene in San Francisco, struggled with eating disorders and drug addiction, and done some questionable things to support that drug addiction along the way. I thought I had a pretty good handle on who Patrick was.
I didn't have a clue.
Whether these memories actually happened exactly as I recall is possibly subject to discussion. Yet it isn't as if I'm lying, or just sort of making [stuff] up as I go along. Given a polygraph test I'd pass. In a court of law I'd swear on a bible. And from me to you—this is my truth.
Patrick O'Neil's truth comes in the form of Gun, Needle, Spoon, a memoir so raw and intimate in its recounting of a life gone off the rails it is sometimes difficult to read, the feeling of being a voyeur bordering on overwhelming. Too often, memoirs about a life as dysfunctional and hectic as O'Neil's has been end up at one extreme or the other: wallowing in self-pity, or blurring the rough edges into a revisionist romanticism. Not O'Neil.
Using the same wit and wry observation on display daily in his social media, O'Neil matter of factly describes his descent from art school graduate with a burgeoning career in the music industry into the life of a dope addict so broke and strung out he spent time living in a camper shell on the back of a pickup and committing crimes almost daily to support his heroin habit. Along the way he sees friends die from overdoses, lies to, begs, borrows and steals from everyone he knows, including his family, and escalates from simple thefts and shoplifting to armed bank robberies. It's not many people who can say ending up in jail was the best thing that ever happened to them, but in O'Neil's case it may well be the truth.
After spending nearly two decades chasing the dragon, and suffering no fewer than half a dozen ODs in the process, O'Neil's criminal escapades finally caught up with, landing him in jail for over two years while his case worked its way through the legal system. Forced to get straight while inside, O'Neil left the system drug free, but with a new monkey on his back. As part of his plea deal, O'Neil ended up with two strikes on his record—one more and he goes to prison for life. Motivated now by not only the desire to live life unencumbered by addiction but also to stay out of prison, O'Neil has been clean for over fourteen years. The process he went through to get there, first falling to the deepest depths and then climbing out of the hole he'd dug for himself, is a remarkable story of survival.
Gun, Needle, Spoon is a work of tremendous courage, one which strikes a perfect balance between bluntness and beauty—O'Neil is a truly gifted storyteller—and gives readers a peek behind the curtain of a life most have only ever seen in fiction. And as the saying goes, O'Neil's unvarnished, unsentimental look back at his struggles demonstrates all too graphically that truth is often far stranger, and more outrageous, than fiction.
Gun, Needle, Spoon is available from Dzanc Books.

"My coursework at SNHU has given me the guidance and expertise to accomplish my goals."
I received my undergrad degree from SNHU by going to night classes on campus when my wife and I were living in Manchester. We moved to Charlotte, and I finished my degree online. We had two more children while in Charlotte, and I quickly realized that I needed to go back to school to get my MBA. I worked 50+ hours per week, was an active father, coaching and homeschooling our children, and going to school for my MBA. This has been one of the busiest times of my life. I often wonder what nights after work will be like when school is completed later this year.
I was able to combine my previous restaurant experience with my MBA, and make myself more attractive to a group of restaurant owners who needed a managing partner to run and operate their businesses. The group I work for acknowledged they were not operators, and needed someone with business acumen and experience to grow their business. My current position as the managing partner for Flatiron Kitchen + Taphouse (a fine dining restaurant in Davidson, NC) is one of the most rewarding positions I have ever had. I am able to utilize practically all the courses I have taken along my journey at SNHU.
Through my sport management degree, I have been able to open a sports ministry at my local church, where we have started our second year of play. We currently have baseball, basketball, flag football and soccer programs for ages 4-10. My coursework at SNHU has given me the guidance and expertise to accomplish my goals.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to make the online PR debate organised by NMK last night, but I've been following the fallout today on Twitter and entering into the fray myself, as well as catching up on the blog posts that are now starting to trickle through.
It looks like it was a good event (as Ian's always are) that tossed around some interesting arguments.
For me though, I get slightly annoyed by the need to define everything. Often we go out of our way to define something which then loses its meaning or is interpreted in a different way. It's all just semantics really.
And the jargon of new media certainly falls into this space. It is why PR is so synonymous with media relations and journalism. Why SEO and social media seemingly also exist (or feel they need to exist) within their own spheres.
I'm not saying that specialisms aren't important but that rather than PR v. SEO v. digital etc., we should be looking at the wider, bigger picture. I'm sure this is how many of our (as agencies) clients see things; the bottom line is everything for them. [And I note that it was pretty agency-weighted last night]
This is what we are attempting to do more and more at Wildfire. We are seeing the blurring of disciplines and are also identifying areas where the traditioanl media aspect of PR is dying very quickly. Our venture into new realms isn't driven by shiny new toys and networks, but by an attempt to get results for our clients and influence the publics they are attempting to reach.
Now to me, this feels very much like a definition of PR. But, I am aware that it is equally true of other disciplines, e.g. advertising, as this Ad Age article demonstrates.
One thing underlines all these tactics though, and that is establishing a message and conveying this to an audience – and this is something that PR professionals are usually very well placed to do. The conveying might be through traditional media, it might be through engagement or conversation on social networks or it might involve search engines and advertising.
As a PR (and marketing) professional (caveat: who is and has been immersed in digital and social media), I am excited and thrilled by the opportunity the internet and digital affords us practionners and our clients or businesses.It's refreshing to be able to knock out the middle man, to 'go direct'.
And in order to achieve this effectively, the more tools we have in our tool box, the more options we have and the more potential we can achieve.
The future is bright. It might not be PR as we know it. It might not be called PR. It might even be called social media and be carried out by 'social media experts' 🙂
But my bet is that no one group will dominate and that there will be plenty of new tricks to learn and plenty for everyone to practice.
Lots of chatter about this – here is a quick round-up:

Humira and sun exposure
Common Questions and Answers about Humira and sun exposure
Wallace) It seems the rash I have has gotten worse the longer this has gone on. I understand about the antibiotic
. That might actually help because it would cause your skin to absorb more than otherwise. (just my personal observation) The worse case flare I had was after I had spent the day outside on a drizzly, rainy day. The sky was overcast all day long. I didn't even think about being exposed to the sun.

I get the brown spots too. I think it's the thyroid
. I also get REALLY flaky skin. My spots are on the forehead
down my right cheek, they seem to fade a bit when winter comes. I also use Oil of Olay Definity. It's a correcting/protective lotion with an SPF of 15. It's a bit pricey (at least for my broken wallet) abot $23, $20 on sale at RitAid for 1.7 oz., it also has a smaller tube for free to keep in your pocketbook.

I have gone through several coarses of Peg Interfeuron, Riboviran
so forth, The side effects were so bad , I lost my hair, I had chills
vomiting and aches and it felt like the worst flu ever. I made it through a Year once, the other two times I had to stop the treatment because ( this is just my opinion) the doctor was sick of hearing me complain about how crappy I felt. I have so much more to say but I'm a bit overwhelmed by actually finding this site.

A friend of mine really thinks it's RA and it's just not presenting in the bloodwork...Could be.

heat but after an unseasonably cool spring I have come to think it is related to pollen, so maybe this is an allergy ? The reason I think this is because every year I've had these I've been heavily tanned on those areas, this year I have only walked twice wearing shorts and I have them again.

It's to the point where I can't even engage in intercourse with my partner, go shopping or even go out in the
. I keep hearing
reading how Urticaria, usually has signs on the skin surface but I don't, except for the really bad itchy feeling. Sometimes I question whether or not I have something else because it's really bad and it feels like I have a sudden burning rush of nails/needles stabbing my skin and I can't even move but only twitch.

19 Jul Talbot House responds to Peterson-Rafuse's about-face
The background:
- On June 11, Community Services Minister Denise Peterson-Rafuse agreed to suspend her department's tender call to replace the addiction services formerly provided by Cape Breton's Talbot House Recovery Centre, and pledged to personally lead direct negotiations with Talbot's board for a new contract to deliver those services.
- Just 25 days later, without holding a single meeting with the board, Peterson-Rafuse told Talbot House she would not meet with them after all, and would instead proceed with the tender call.
Talbot's board chair, Sydney psychologist John Gainer, issued the following statement Wednesday:
The Board of Directors of Talbot House was informed in a letter dated July 6, 2012, that the Minister of Community Services has withdrawn from further independent discussion with the Board and will issue a general request for proposals for an addiction recovery house in Cape Breton.
Following what seemed to be a productive meeting in early June, the Board of Director's was optimistic and eager to continue discussion with the Minister regarding the re-establishment of a service agreement between the Department of Community Services and the Talbot House Board.
The Minister agreed to review the report of the organizational review of Talbot House and the Board's detailed and critical response. The Minister also agreed to meet regularly and directly with the Board to continue discussion. The Board agreed to provide additional documentation to the Minister in advance of subsequent meetings.
A follow-up meeting was never scheduled, due to the Minister's and the Board members' respective work and travel schedules in June and early July. On June 21, 2012 the Board requested available meeting dates from the Minister and informed her that she would be provided with all relevant information well in advance of the next meeting, including a detailed outline of the Board's plans to establish compliance with Department of Community Services standards.
In the July 6, 2012 letter to the Board and in subsequent email correspondence, the Minister indicated that the Board had "failed" to "immediately" send her requested information, despite there being no agreed upon or specific deadline for the submission of documents.
The Board had also requested that the Minister send policy and governance documents from the other recovery houses in the province for the Board's review. The Department of Community Services had indicated that the other facilities met or exceeded all government standards and the Board hoped to use the documents as government-approved templates. To date, the Board has received neither documents nor response on this matter from the Department of Community Services.
The Minister has indicated that she "stand(s) by" the organizational review and believes it "followed the standard and appropriate processes." The Board of Directors of Talbot House maintains that both the review process and report remain fundamentally flawed. The Board has requested that the Minister publish the Board's written response on our government's website. There has been no response.
