Yoga, Meditation, Healthy Recipes & Natural Lifestyle Tips
Wai Lana's Soup of the Week: Laotian Curry
Release Anger Through Yoga
Anger can be very destructive. It can cause physical and mental problems and can even destroy our personal relationships. But you don't have to let it. You can learn to release your anger through yoga.
Breathing exercises are particularly good for calming down immediately. Just take as many slow, deep breaths as you need to. Yoga sound meditation combined with breathing is even more effective, as the sounds themselves are calming. Yoga asanas also help release tension in both body and mind. So before you blow off steam and hurt yourself or someone else, release your anger with some yoga.

Learn a New Pose Today!
Some yoga poses are easy for us; we like doing them and practice them regularly. At that point when the pose becomes easy for you, it's time to find another pose!
Let's say you learned a new pose yesterday that was quite hard for you. When it comes time to do it today, you're reluctant. You know how stiff you were in that pose, how little movement you got, and it felt uncomfortable. So you're inclined to skip that one. Those are just the poses that your body needs.
If you persevere to learn a new pose, you'll go through different stages. The first stage of reluctance usually lasts about a month. But as your body loosens up, you'll move into the second stage. The pose becomes tolerable and your body and mind no longer resist so much. This stage may last another six weeks or so, getting better and better. Finally, you'll get to stage three; the pose will be quite pleasant and enjoyable.
Try to imagine it. While I'm not advocating pushing too hard, sometimes just imagining you can go further into a pose will get you there. It gives you the will to try just a little harder."
Relax as you practice. Don't stress about how stiff you are; just watch your breath; notice how it affects your body, and let it help you open and release into the pose.
So next time you're doing a pose you find difficult, instead of doing it halfheartedly, thinking "I can't do this pose," remember these tips. And be careful to follow all the safety guidelines, especially the most important principle which is to listen carefully to your body and never push your body beyond its limits.

Juice of the Week: Autumn Breeze
With autumn at our doorsteps, Wai Lana would like to share this gentle, delicious juice with everyone.
Three Ways to Prevent Sickness
Wai Lana, host of the long-running PBS series Wai Lana Yoga, shares tips on how to stay healthy naturally.
Getting sick is never fun. It not only makes us feel tired, achy, and sore, but also keeps us from doing the things we love. I have always felt that good habits are the foundation to good health. And, over the years, I've noticed that by practicing a yoga diet and lifestyle, I have far more energy and get sick less often.
Here are a few simple, effective ways to help keep yourself and your loved ones from getting sick:
Go to bed early
One of the most important things you can do to curb illness is to get enough rest. Studies show that cells regenerate themselves while we sleep. And although burning the candle at both ends is sometimes unavoidable, it can also weaken the immune system, making you more vulnerable to the latest bug going around school or the office. A busy schedule, heavy exercise, and even changes in the weather can sap our energy. That's why it's important to take care of ourselves and monitor how much sleep we're getting. At the end of a tiring day, I like to get to bed an hour or two earlier. I find that a little extra sleep helps me feel relaxed, recharged, and more prepared for the next day.
Choose snacks wisely
The food we eat is the fuel our bodies need to function properly—down to the very last cell. So if our meals and snacks are nourishing, vital, and health-giving, our immune systems will grow strong and less prone to harmful bacteria, viruses, and disease. So skip the junky snack aisles next time you go grocery shopping. Opt for foods that make your body feel good, like fresh fruits, wholegrain breads, nut butters, and veggies and dip (a vegetarian egg-free mayonnaise mixed with a little mustard, honey, lemon juice, and salt makes a tasty, all-purpose vegetable dip).
Supplement your diet
When you consider that many of the foods sold in grocery stores today are over-processed, transported for long periods of time, and sprayed with chemicals and pesticides, it's no surprise that many of them lack the vital nutrients we need to stay strong and resilient to infection. Drinking goji juice is one of my favorite ways to supplement my diet naturally with vitamins B, C, and E as well as beta-carotene. I often recommend drinking the juice from this ancient Chinese berry as a natural way to improve overall health, including eyesight and liver and kidney function. I am delighted to be able to add a pure goji juice to my line of supplements that contains no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners. Made from fresh berries—not reconstituted or powdered—goji juice tastes delicious and contains naturally-occurring essential fatty acids such as omega-6 and linoleic acid, which also help to regulate hormones.

If Durango ever got a gentlemen�s club, the exotic dancers would likely entertain their dollar-waving customers in the Bodo Industrial Park, according to policy discussion by the City Council on Tuesday.
Under a revised land-use code, strip clubs would be classified as �light industrial� businesses, most likely requiring them to locate in the city�s major industrial park.
It was considered as a good compromise because the club would be far from schools and churches and officials assumed the clientele would prefer the anonymity of an industrial park.
The proposed regulation came up because the city is revising its land-use rules, but officials hinted that SOBs, a planning acronym for sexually oriented businesses, are interested in coming here.
Councilor Christina Rinderle, who is a real estate agent by profession, said she knew a business that is �just in the planning stages of looking at Durango, but it�s a high-end kind of club.�
Greg Hoch, the planning director, said the city is getting �more inquiries from Realtors.�
Instead of reacting to a request from to sex shop wanting to come to Durango, �it�s better to get out in front of it (with regulations),� Rinderle said.
Technically, gentlemen�s clubs and adult bookstores are already allowed in Durango, but an old morals clause in the city code also prohibits indecent exposure, officials said.
So if a gentlemen�s club did open under the current rules, it would not be the kind of gentlemen�s club most people would expect because the dancers could not strip.
City Attorney David Smith acknowledged that the moral clause is probably �unconstitutional.�
Todd Messenger, the city�s land-use consultant, said it�s �amazing how far the First Amendment will go to protect things you wouldn�t expect.�
As for adult bookstores, Messenger said he would suggest design standards and land regulations that would also make them likely to locate in a light-industrial area.
Durango�s previous approach to dealing with an established adult bookstore was to �throw a brick through its plate-glass window once a week,� said Hoch in referring to a controversy from years ago that drove the bookstore from town.
Rinderle also recalled the uproar by parents when the Fallen Angel adult video and lingerie store moved to College Drive near Park Elementary School, but she noted the controversy died once the store opened.
Fallen Angel is not technically considered by the city to be a sex store because its amount of adult-related merchandise falls under a certain threshold to be classified as a sex shop, Hoch said.
Lingerie and costumes are not considered to be sex merchandise.
Rinderle said the Fallen Angel was a �nice store,� recommending it to Messenger, who lives in the Denver area.
�You should pick something out for your wife before you leave,� Rinderle said to giggles.

Though it's been a little cooler and very rainy these past couple of weeks, Fourth of July will feel more like a typical summer day in South Carolina.
According to the National Weather Service in Columbia, there's a 40 percent chance for precipitation throughout the day. Today is predicted to not be as wet as it was on Wednesday, as several portions of the CSRA experienced some steady, heavy rainfall.
For the rest of the weekend through Sunday, the chance of rain will range from between 30 to 50 percent.
National Weather Service Hydrological Meteorological Technician Al Moore said the transition to a "more typical summerlike pattern" starts today, meaning that the mornings will be mostly dry and as the day heats up, scattered storms will pop up around the afternoon hours.
Moore added the temperatures will be a little warmer with the high reaching 87 but it's still not as close to the average of 93 degrees. On Wednesday, the high was only 83.
"That shows how much below normal we've been in the last couple of days," Moore said. "We won't get that warm tomorrow or Friday, but we're trending back in that direction."
Temperatures from today to Sunday are forecast to reach the high 80s to the low 90s and will dip into the low 70s at night.
The humidity will continue to be high, Moore said.
The skies will be mostly cloudy today, but that shouldn't impact too many firework displays in the CSRA. Moore said the clouds should be elevated enough, which is a favorable condition for fireworks shows.

DENVER � The Legislature on Wednesday passed an extension of a tax deduction for wildfire mitigation, a bill sponsored by Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango.
The state has offered a tax deduction for clearing brush and creating firebreaks around homes, but the deduction is scheduled to expire in July.
Roberts� House Bill 1012 extends the tax benefit through 2024.
It passed the Senate 33-1. It already has passed the House and now goes to Gov. John Hickenlooper for final approval.
The bill allows homeowners to deduct half the cost of their wildfire mitigation work, up to $2,500, from their taxable income. Only about 1,600 Coloradans have taken advantage of the benefit in the last three years.
�This is not as well-known as we�d like it to be. It�s not as big as we�d like it to be,� Roberts said during debate Friday.
The Falls Creek and Forest Lakes subdivisions in La Plata County have been especially good with fire mitigation and could be helped by the bill, Roberts said.

Safety engineers are now inspecting dozens of road signs in Canada after one overhead sign bobbed violently and came crashing to the ground during a windstorm.
Jay Mangat, a car passenger, recorded a metal highway sign galloping dangerously on Deerfoot Trail in Calgary, Alberta. The severe weather brought gusty wind of 100 km/h, causing the sturdy metal beam to wobble up and down.
Mangat thought that the sign would keep on bouncing. But just as their car passed under the sign, one of its panels got ripped off and fell onto the busy freeway. Mangat narrowly escaped what could have been a serious accident.
"It was about to hit my car, but it just dropped to the side and I was lucky enough to survive," he said in an interview with Calgary Herald.
Alberta Transportation is now looking into the sign that plunged on the highway and 24 others built with similar style, to check whether they should stay or should be replaced.
Since it was posted on YouTube, the video has been watched more than 951,000 times.

There were handshakes, hugs, reflection, laughter and even a few tears Thursday when the Aiken Department of Public Safety honored the men and women who serve and protect the community.
The entire department comes together one day per year to reflect on and applaud each other's accomplishments, which are voted on by their peers.
Sgt. Craig Burgess was awarded the Public Safety Officer of the Year Award.
Burgess was one of the first officers on the scene of a murder-suicide on Cherry Hills Drive on May 17, 2012, Lt. Karl Odenthal said during the ceremony. Burgess assembled a team, who together forced their way into the home with a ballistic shield in an attempt to save the woman who called 911. The gunman inside fired on police, who returned fire.
Less than two months later, on July 7, Burgess was involved in a 15-mile chase with two robbery suspects who crashed their car through the barricade of the Savannah River Site.
"One subject fled on foot and was caught by Sgt. Burgess while he was trying to force entry into a production building on site," Odenthal said.
On the scene of a shooting on Dec. 31, Burgess saw a man lingering in the woods near the crime scene who tried to flee. Burgess chased and apprehended him, Odenthal said.
Burgess said afterward that only one word could describe it.
"We don't get into this line of work for accolades," he said. "It's an honor, and 'humbling' is the best adjective I can come up with for it. It feels good to have received it and it means even more coming from my peers."
Cpl. Jeremy Hembree was also awarded the Medal of Merit for his response to the incident on Cherry Hills Drive last year, and three officers – Capt. Marty Sawyer, Officer Steve Miano and Burgess – were awarded the Medal of Valor for their response to the same incident.
The guest speaker, Chief Deputy Paul Butler of the Horry County Sheriff's Office, delivered a rousing speech that touched on a variety of topics.
"Tonight, you recognized folks for doing wonderful and heroic things, but I want you to know that everyone has a chance to be a hero by being an example, by being someone that others look up to," Butler said.
Butler talked about the differences between responsibility and accountability, and the meaning of character. He also discussed the importance of relationships and talked about his own with his family, friends and co-workers.
"Folks, those relationships determine your success at work," he said. "Who you have standing behind you, beside that badge, matters."
His most important relationship, though, is the one with God, Butler said.
"I found out when my wife was diagnosed with cancer that those (relationships) can be taken away," he said. "My father died in 1993, and I realize my sheriff doesn't know how many more terms he's going to run. All of those relationships can crumble and fail. You had better have something to hold on to that takes you through tomorrow, no matter what tomorrow brings."
Chief Charles Barranco said he's heard Butler speak numerous times before and knew he was an "impactful" speaker.
"Earlier this week, I heard the news that they (Horry County) had lost a deputy," Barranco said. "I called him and said, 'Listen, you need to take care of your department. We've been where you guys are, and I understand.' He said, 'Chief, I have an opportunity to make an impact on somebody, and I'd really like to honor that opportunity.'"
Barranco said recognizing officers with awards voted on by their peers is the best way to honor their work.
"The men and women that are dedicated to these citizens – it just makes my chest swell up, and makes me proud to be able to work with them," he said. "I think that's the best way to recognize the day-to-day work that they do – all of them."

Bergenia are valued for attractive foliage and flowers. Leathery, waxed leaves add structure, texture and changing color. A good performer even in difficult sites. Slowly and reliably fills in. Clusters of blooms are framed by foliage nicely.
No special care needed. Clean up in spring if needed. Truly maintenance free. Divide in spring ever 3-4 years or so when clump opens up in center. Does not like wet feet.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

Thursday, July 18, 2013
I had one of those experiences on Sunday that should be relegated to parents, not grandparents. Cade and Payton were invited to a birthday party at an Augusta establishment that features chaos, pizza and the possibility of prizes. Cat's husband, Scott, was working all day, so in a weak moment I agreed to go with them to the party.
I had not been inside this establishment since my own children were the age my grandchildren now are. Things had changed a little – but not much.
There's still the "characters," as Payton kept referring to them. These are a band of four larger-than-life critters playing instruments on stage as a real "live" mouse (with a person inside, I presume) runs around greeting the birthday boys and girls. The bad news is the characters haven't changed since the last time I was there. Their fur is now a bit, well, creepy, if you get too close – dusty, dingy and faded.
The pizza is still marginal, but the games and activities have changed significantly.
Where once there were 20 lanes of Skee-Ball, there are now maybe three or four such lanes (with a new name that I can't remember). And there are typical arcade games, riding apparatuses, a play gym, games for which you can win lots and lots of tickets which you can then redeem for "prizes" of questionable quality and value.
And through it all, I was once again struck by the way personalities show through.
Cade loves to play video games at home. He and his dad spend hours battling zombies or reliving "Star Wars" in the form of a kid-friendly Lego game. So, I guess it should be no surprise that he was enamored of similar games at the birthday party. He wanted to shoot things – he's pretty good at that – or fire hose flames before they get out of control, or battle aliens or play air hockey. Only when one of those games happened to have the option of winning tickets did he do anything that would garner the prizes. He enjoyed game after game for the sake of playing, and that's all.
Payton, on the other hand, has that supercompetitive spirit. She only played games that gave a reward. And as soon as she realized that Mommy could win more tickets than she could, she would say, "No, Mommy, you do it." She went from "Feed the Froggie" to "Whack the Shark" to games that gave you tickets just for spending one of your tokens. She had her eye on the prize and never wavered.
As a result, Payton ended the day with at least twice as many tickets as Cade. But amazingly, Cade was quite content to walk away with a package of Laffy Taffy and three rolls of Smarties, while Payton took home a handful of trinkets that included a bracelet, a ring and other items that I can't remember.
I still remember taking my son there many, many years ago. He was about Payton's age, I think. He became so overwhelmed with the prize options that he couldn't make up his mind. As a result, I finally said he'd have to decide on a prize or we'd just hang onto the tickets until next time. Needless to say, Mac came home crying and virtually empty-handed – I believe I still have the remaining tickets somewhere in my dresser.
All in all, the experience was not awful – even for YaYa.
Question for moms
A question for moms out there: My other daughter, Liz, has been having a concern with baby Pearce. She periodically won't take a bottle for an entire day. This seems to happen only at day care. At home, Pearce seems to eat fine. I've questioned whether it might have to do with her little tummy getting its fill during the day with more solid food, since she's now eating "meals" three times a day – squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, cereal, etc., and not just taking milk.
But back to the problem at hand, I've wondered if Pearce is ready to wean. She is allergic to dairy products, so I thought maybe at some point even the body of a little baby rejects things that may not sit well – though her mom has taken all dairy from her own diet to accommodate the baby. If anyone has experience with this type of rejection of milk, please let me know. I can be reached at email@example.com. Thanks, in advance.

Carefully remove shrub from container and gently separate roots. Position in center of hole, best side facing forward. Fill in with original soil or an amended mixture if needed as described above. For larger shrubs, build a water well. Finish by mulching and watering well.
If the plant is balled-and-burlapped, remove fasteners and fold back the top of natural burlap, tucking it down into hole, after you've positioned shrub. Make sure that all burlap is buried so that it won't wick water away from rootball during hot, dry periods. If synthetic burlap, remove if possible. If not possible, cut away or make slits to allow for roots to develop into the new soil. For larger shrubs, build a water well.
Finish by mulching and watering well.
If shrub is bare-root, look for a discoloration somewhere near the base; this mark is likely where the soil line was. If soil is too sandy or too clayey, add organic matter. This will help with both drainage and water holding capacity. Fill soil, firming just enough to support shrub. Finish by mulching and watering well.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and provide maximum air circulation. Clean up all debris, especially around plants that have had a problem. Do not water from overhead and water only during the day so that plants will have enough time to dry before night. Apply a fungicide labeled for rust on your plant. Pest : Caterpillars Caterpillars are the immature form of moths and butterflies. They are voracious feeders attacking a wide variety of plants. They can be highly destructive and are characterized as leaf feeders, stem borers, leaf rollers, cutworms and tent-formers.
Prevention and Control: keep weeds down, scout individual plants and remove caterpillars, apply labeled insecticides such as soaps and oils, take advantage of natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden and use Bacillus thuringiensis (biological warfare) for some caterpillar species. Fungi : Leaf Spots Leaf spots are caused by fungi or bacteria. Brown or black spots and patches may be either ragged or circular, with a water soaked or yellow-edged appearance. Insects, rain, dirty garden tools, or even people can help its spread.
Prevention and Control: Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil level. For fungal leaf spots, use a recommended fungicide according to label directions.
Pest : Scale Insects Scales are insects, related to mealy bugs, that can be a problem on a wide variety of plants - indoor and outdoor. Young scales crawl until they find a good feeding site. The adult females then lose their legs and remain on a spot protected by its hard shell layer. They appear as bumps, often on the lower sides of leaves. They have piercing mouth parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue. Scales can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.
Prevention and Control: Once established they are hard to control. Isolate infested plants away from those that are not infested. Consult your local garden center professional or Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal recommendation regarding their control. Encourage natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden.

Even just going through the terminology and getting the visuals of how the various parts of the protocol relate has been extremely helpful.
I wish I could have had this webinar series a year ago when I got thrown into designing embedded USB into a new system. Fortunately I had source code from another engineer's design that I could refer to, but a lot of it I had to develop through trial and error. Not the easist way to go, that's for sure!
thank you Christian,
remote wireless sensors for industrial apps
hardware design engineer
Thank you Christian for sharing knowledge.
Thanks Christian
based on the first two days today should be great
Hello for day 3
Thank You!
good day
good info
thank you
So sorry I missed the lecture real time. The slide #s, Keep up the good work and thanks for everything
Rodney B. Rutherford
Great lecture
Interrupt for my projects
Excellent Topic! Thanks!
Thank you Christian!
Very good lecture - information overload... Wow!!!
wow, that's a lot to digest in less than an hour. I'll come back later to review.
Thanks Chrtistian, see all tomorrow.
Lots of info, thanks
Huge slidepack today.
Good to have access to the recorded sessions.
I've missed the live lecture today...
Thank you! See you tomorrow!
@Christian Thanks, see you tomorrow!
Merci for the calculation...The device use a STM32F103 32bit controller. I think the float are defined at 32bit (4 bytes). I have to read more on the IAR EWARM compiler I am using... This means I could theoretically push it to 64 devices...
Now, the trick is to turn the payload into a HID payload. And convert it back on the host.
OK, see you tomorrow.
Thunderbolt vs USB3.0
For an embedded system, assuming you have the resources to use these protocol capabilities, I would go the USB 3.0 because it is a more general standard.
If it is for your personal use, it all depends what you want to use a peripherals. For an external Mass Storage, I would go with Thunderbolt just because it would save me time when I want to do a backup!
here I am, better late than never
Can you achieve a overall sampling rate of 100Hz for up to 32 USB FS devices connected, when the payload is 4 floats per device. Could this be achieve with HID/Joystick type class, or should I go directly with a custom class??
We will have to do the math. First, HID is the right class to use, because it is peioritized by the Host.
(Your 4 floats are 64 bits each? this would mean 32 bytes per transfer)
Second, let's look at the Full Spee table for Interrupt transfer using 32 bytes transfer and see the maximum throughput.
At 100Hz, that would mean once every 10 frames. Or stated otherwise, that would mean you can server 3.2 device per frame and have covers the 32 devices in 10 frames.
An example of a simple USB communication would be helpful. Like from a mouse. Also, Christian, I'm interested in which USB protocal analyzers are available for low cost, and what is gained from a more expensive analyzer.
Tomorrow, I will give an example of how a Device is recognized by a Host and the complete enumeration process.
Low cost, good Price/Performance ratio analysers woudl be products from TotalPhase.
Ellisys protocol analysers are a bit more expensive but have better presentation of information. Ellisys also provides a USB Generator that is very useful when you want to test a Host as we will see Friday.
Can you achieve a overall sampling rate of 100Hz for up to 32 USB FS devices connected, when the payload is 4 floats per device. Could this be achieve with HID/Joystick type class, or should I go directly with a custom class??
It would be nice to provide a few examples from start to finish how a USB packet works with a real device.
This is what a protocol analyzer will bring you.
This is more difficult with the format of these webinars. WHen I do hands-on classes at Design East or Design West, this is exactly what we do. Attendees have access to hardware and protocol analyzers and we look at the various transfer types and USB Classes.
This may not be the right place to ask the question, but I like to know your take on Thunderbolt vs USB3.0.
It appears from slide 35 that it is possible to have multiple interface types.
Yes, and we will see this tomorrow with the Descriptors, the Interfaces and the Classes.
Christian: About the ZLP; I understand is is only true for N*max_size. ITs good to have that confirmed because I could not find the text in the standard that stated so ... for DATA transfers. I found the text explicit for CONTROL transfers.
The requirement to have a vendor ID assigned to products is very important.
We will see this tomorrow.
Thanks. We have an RFID reader acting as a wedge but would like to add the ability to set parameters in the reader via a host application.
I'm here to learn about designing with USB in general. I'm also interested in isochronous data transfers for multiple video streams, with some way to know when each image was captured by the cameras. Thanks for your presentation.
ZLP is only used if the data you have to transfer is an integer multiple of the maximum packet size.
It appears possible to define a set of end-points as an HID interface and another set to cdc.
Hi Christian: I am trying to understand the bandwidth calculation. Is there a link with more details? I just need to walk through one computation to understand the rest. Thanks!:
The 2 previous slides to the tables give you how to interpret the tables. If you feel this in not enough, the only other reference I can think of is the USB spec itself.
I am using off-the-shelf code. Most of my time is spent on the descriptor tables.
amazing what such a small device entails. thanks:
This is exactly why I suggest that if you want to implement USB in a product, please use Commerical of the shelf components and software stack. Don't reinvent the wheel. USB is plug-and-play, but only because a lot of people spend a lot of time doing all the is required to make this happen.
Hi Christian: I am trying to understand the bandwidth calculation. Is there a link with more details? I just need to walk through one computation to understand the rest. Thanks!
The ZLP is used for all transfers? I saw that it was so in Control packets but I could not find that text for the data transfers. Its good to get that confirmed because I have been assuming it is true.
A colleague recommended the TotalPhase Beagle USB analyzer. I have model 480 (USB2.0 capable). Easy to use.
TotalPhase proudcts are very good Price/Performance protocol analyser. My second choice would be Ellisys. A bit more expensivce. Finally, you will find the Lecroy and Tecktronix level analyzers.
amazing what such a small device entails. thanks Christen.
When an application sends N bytes how does the peer know when the entire application packet has been received?
Good question!
As you saw from the packets, there are not "length of transfer" So, USB uses what is called a Zero Length Packet «)ZLP). If a packet received is smaller than the Maximium packet size for the transfer mode at a certain speed, than it knows that is was the last packet. Otherwise, the transmitter has to send a ZLP to signel the end of the transfer.
@Christian What USB Protocol Analyzer(s) would you recommend?
I'm working on a vehicle infotainment system, using liliput 7" touchscreen display and small android ARM device. I'm having difficulty interfacing the HDMI\USB touch screen touches with Android. The kernal must not support it, though it daisplays on screen great. I don't think I need to understand the USB aspect, but this helps when I get to the Arduino portion to support a hub and digital FM reciever as well as understanding integrating GPS into it.
we designed an interface that connects a PC with USB to an indstrial network (CAN) so I'm interested in the max transfer rates.
I have used the CATC / LeCroy USB analyzers with great success. They were expensive but they worked very well.
Thank you this presentation is awesome!
Good information in the slides. I missed yesterday, and just got back now.
Good presentation. It would be nice to provide a few examples from start to finish how a USB packet works with a real device.
Is this the Chat Room?
remote wireless sensors for industrial control (temp. Pressure. flow, ) also industrial alarms
How do I determine how many endpoints I need? All the endpoints go through the same wires, right? So the more endpoints I have, the less bandwidth each one will get. Can I just have two endpoints, one for control (mandatory), and one for data?
Great information!
@Christian: WOW! That was a fabulous overview of the USB software architecture's lower layers. Thank you!
JVonHatten; I do not think so. USB data packets are sent in fixed sizes, say 64 bytes
How do you know when the end of the application packet is received? This is what I understand but have no confirmation. If you get a packet that is less than 64 bytes, end of sequence. If it is 64 bytes, there is more to come. If the application packet is 64*N where N is an integer, one will receive a 0-byte packet.
This is true for Control packets. How about the data transfers?
Thanks Christian and Jennifer!
I'm a software engineer working on metrological products.
Agree that Beagle USB analyzer is very good.
Good presentation, Thanks.
Great presentation! Thank you so much, Christian!
Thank you Jennifer!

hello everyone
fwjava - let me check in with the site admin to see if something like that is a possibility.
@JoeFromOzarks That's the advantage of suffering the cold by living in Vermont. You just need a good horse to get to Canada for your Twinkies fix.
Mercy case? I kin git mah fix o' Hostess? Lemme call the airport... maybe they'll let hillbillies on planes now. :)
@Jennifer It would be nice if we did have a way to contact other class participants. Maybe someway to activate (with permission of course) the users email during a live class session. There have been a couple people I would have liked to contact but not necessary through the chat window.
@Lawson No worries, it worked, and the slides are readable, which mine weren't.
@EdB_Vt You're welcome! Sorry about the shady upload site. Didn't know what else to use. YouSendIt requires an email address...
Hello all,
Joe: Had to Look up STEM -- cool man.
Yeah Real Sugar in the Twinkies and Cup Cakes -- and we still have plastic wrap and bags here -- for a few months stiill...
We have a special refugee program for Hostess Addicts. It's recognized as a mercy case by our government. rotflmao
@JoeFromOzarks It's all good!
@Lawson - Thanks again for the PDF slides today. Yesterday I clicked on the button that asked to download the executable - which I didn't do of course. Then I found the other button that just downloads the pdf. I did a virus scan in case the site added something nefarious (found nothing). I already checked out tomorrow's slide deck, and it "plays nice" with the PowerPoint viewers I have.
Oops, copy & paste results in duplicate posts, sorry.
"gotta do somethin' fer a livin'." <- Josie Wales. :)
@Lawson, the page numbers are on each slide today. I get to sit back and enjoy the lecture. :) {Yesterday I felt like I was calling bingo...} :)
Phd in S.T.E.M. education. (I'm retired, "gotta do somethin' fer a livin'.") Canada uses real sugar in their Hostess treats? :)
Hi All From Rainy California
from the sunny south, good morning to all.
PS: We can supply Hostess Twinkies and Cup Cakes from Canada -- Just sayin'
Joe: Post grad eh? Working on what -- if I may be so bold. (Not specific -- just generally.)
I love my cherry pie and ice cream! :) {And Hostess Cub Cakes, but we'll leave THAT alone!} :)
Hello from Snowy SE Lake Simcoe in Ontario, Canada. I just looked out the window! ARGGGHHH!
No billing. :) I truly enjoy these classes! (I'm also working on post grad, those classes are work!) Cherry pie and ice cream (with Pepsi) was my payment yesterday. :)
@JoeFromOzarks Yeah, and with 57 slides today it would be even more hectic! As long as Christian calls out the slide numbers we should be good...
good morning all!
I think Joe would settle for a home cooked (sour) Cheery Pie and some ice cream -- with coffee. That owould be a good deal if he will do it. I was hungry the rest of the day thinking about that...
@bitbanger55 Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't have a good way to get the file to EdB_Vt so I just grabbed the first Google hit for upload sites. Didn't figure people would want to post email addresses on here...
Thanks again JoeFromOzarks - I'll let you know where to send the bill for your fee! =)
@JoeFromOzarks Howdy! You up for calling out slide numbers again today?! :D
@bitbanger55 I think maybe you're clicking on the wrong download button. There seems to be an advertisement with a download button above the real download button. I don't see this on Firefox b/c I run AdBlock Plus. I just checked with IE and there are 2 separate download buttons. One is for some lame download manager. Try the one closer to the bottom of the page.
Hello from Chatsworth, CA where it is cloudy.
Howdy again from Fort Worth, TX
Thank you for the page numbers on the bottom of the slides!! :) 'Bout killed me yesterday. (I enjoyed helping out.) :)
@Lawson: File download from www.2shared.com requires downloading and running an EXE on my Windows XP platforms. I assume unless you've already installed it from a previous lifetime, that is the case. Am I unique in this ? Anyone other than Lawson tried to download the PDF he made?
Howdy folks!! :)
Good afternoon....made it today....
@EdB_Vt Here is todays presentation saved as a pdf:
Hello from CNY
good afternoon, everyone
Good Morning!
Hello from Nebraska!
Hello from Milwaukee!
Been waiting for this one for a while.
Hello, from a nice warm Arizona.
Good Day from Wheaton IL
Hello from Southern California.
Greetings from MA. Looking forward to the 57 slide marathon...
The slide decks for today and tomorrow are quite ambitious - upward of 50 today. Many are included for your reference, so we should be able to stick to our 30-40 minute time frame. See you at 2!
Hi everyone and welcome to the Digi-Key Continuing Education Center! We have added numbers to the slides for today's presentation, as well as to those for the Thursday and Friday classes.
@EdB_Vt - Windows 7, 64 bit
Don't have any of those PPT problem. I just have to ReFresh my Screen (F5) 2 Min. before 2:00 PM (11:00 AM my time)
GOOD MORNING. Silicon Valley, CA
Rainy today. It's 58°F now and High of 61°F.
@JCheetham - I have the free Viewer, not full PowerPoint, also running on XP (if that matters)
V2 slides 18, 21, and 49 look ok on my PowerPoint 2007.
I wrote before downloading Today's Slide Deck - Thanks for the slide numbers! Looks ambitious - 57 slides! One for each Heinz variety.
I have the same problem from yesterday:PowerPoint Viewer 2003: text in tables on slides 21, and 49 is too largePowerPoint Viewer 2007: when I get to slide 18, get error "...encountered a problem and needs to close."Not a problem on Monday, but then that deck doesn't seem to have the same type of tables.
Greetings - I second @rruther2's comment
The slides could use some numbers, please.

I am sure you know how the list works by now, but just in case:
Things you have already done or found: bold face type
Things you would like to do or find: italicize (colour optional)
Things you haven't done or found and don't care to: plain type
You will see there is lots of plain type, but no italics, the reason for that probably being that if I had wanted to do it I probably would have done it by now. Anyway here goes:

- Have downloaded genealogy podcasts for later listening [something to do on my way to work]
- Backup your files to a portable hard drive
- Have a copy of your genealogy files stored offsite [several copies in fact]
- Know about Rootstech [just because I know about it doesn't mean I am interested in it]
- Have listened to a Blogtalk radio session about genealogy [not listened live, see No. 41]
- Use Dropbox, SugarSync or other service to save documents in the cloud [don't trust clouds, they often bring rain with them]

So there you go, 18 out of 50 and proud of it, especially not being on Facebook, Twitter, Genealogy Wise or Google+. In fact it is a little but higher than I expected. I do however resent getting a point for knowing about Rootstech, when I would be quite happy not knowing about it, but I cannot un-know about it now.

Former Durango resident Calvin Uptain died from gastric cancer Saturday, Nov. 10, 2012, at his home in Brookfield, Mo. He was 64.
Mr. Uptain was born to Wilford and Norma Uptain on July 19, 1948, in Cortez. He grew up on a farm in Lewis, attended school in Cortez and graduated from Montezuma-Cortez High School in 1966. After graduation, Mr. Uptain enlisted in the Army and was stationed in Germany.
Upon his return to Southwest Colorado, he met his future wife, Wanda Roberts. In November 1969, the couple married in Durango. They had two children before the marriage ended in divorce in 1986.
Upon earning his bachelor�s degree in math from Fort Lewis College in 1972, Mr. Uptain and went to Colorado State University in Fort Collins, where he earned a graduate degree in atmospheric sciences. He taught math to undergraduates at the school while finishing his education.
The Uptains moved back to Southwest Colorado, where Mr. Uptain later owned and operated Southwest Insurance Agency while raising the children.
�He was a hands-on dad, spending many weekends camping and fishing the creeks above Mancos,� his family said. �Much time was also spent visiting his parents� farm, where the kids remember gathering eggs and getting to ride with Dad on his old motorcycle.�
In 1993, he married Rhonda Blythe in Durango. They lived in Oxford, where they raised his stepsons.
The couple ran Budget Mobile Homes together for many years, rebuilding mobile homes.
They moved to Brookfield in 2006, where they opened the Brookfield Bookstore and built a home.
�They shared their love for reading with the community and made many friends along the way,� his family said. �Calvin grew large gardens yearly and enjoyed canning the vegetables and preserving their berries, raising chickens and milking his pet goats.�
He enjoyed the lifestyle and the time he spent with his wife on their farm.
�We will miss his sense of humor; he always had a joke,� his family said. �His incredible knowledge and, of course, the world�s best baked beans and bread pudding.�
Mr. Uptain is survived by his wife of 19 years, Rhonda Uptain of Brookfield; daughter, Valery Blood of Durango; son, Travis Uptain of Durango; stepsons Justin Blythe of Durango and Wade Blythe of Brookfield; mother, Norma Uptain, of Lewis; brothers Leonard Uptain of Crofton, Md., and Kenneth Uptain of Blackfoot, Idaho; sister, Linda Ritchey of Reliance, Wyo.; and seven grandchildren.

If you were working late night at a drive-thru, the last thing you would want to see is a driverless car.
YouTube prankster and magician Rajat pulled off a creepy prank that left drive-thru attendants scared, stunned, and some giggling. Rajat disguised as a car seat and rolled up to the fast food drive-thru windows.
All the female crew were laughing when they saw the empty car, but they backed off, whispering among themselves that the car was running on its own.
"There's like a ghost that just drove the car up here. Did it just randomly drive up?" one worker asked.
Another prank victim was flabbergasted when she found that nobody was there to receive the food bag. She called her co-worker, who quickly grabbed his phone and snapped a photo.
Then, a McDonald's crew member can't believe his eyes and slid open the window several times to make sure that no one was really in the car.
Finally, the empty seat spoke and told them to just toss the food inside the car because he is a ghost. They were all amazed when it moved forward without anyone steering the wheel.
Rajat's video has gone viral and has reached more than 9 million views since it was uploaded on YouTube.

Cyclist Lance Armstrong recently admitted that he used performance enhancing drugs during his professional career, including the time during which he won the Tour de France seven consecutive times.
While this admission was in the news, it wasnt much of a surprise. In October, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency issued a report, called the Reasoned Decision, that laid out compelling evidence that Armstrong and his cycling team participated in a highly organized doping program. As a consequence, Armstrong was stripped of his Tour de France titles and was banned from professional competition.
You probably heard about Armstrongs recent interview with Oprah even if you arent a sports fan or dont follow cycling, but you may not understand what Armstrong did or why he did it.
The purpose of this column is to explain the techniques used by Armstrong and his teammates. And although several performance-enhancing substances were used, I will focus on blood doping.
First, a little physiology review. Endurance events like distance running and cycling are dependent on the delivery of oxygenated blood to the muscle to produce the energy needed to sustain exercise. For this reason, exercise of this type is called aerobic.
Oxygen use by the muscle is enhanced with training due to increases in the amount of blood the heart can pump to the muscle and changes within the muscle that allow it to take up and use more oxygen to produce energy. This allows athletes to exercise at a higher intensity for a longer time.
Since all of the athletes in a cycling race have trained vigorously, gaining an edge over the competition requires finding a way to improve oxygen delivery to the muscle even more.
Oxygen is transported through the blood by red blood cells. Increasing the number of red blood cells boosts the amount of oxygen delivered to the muscle.
This procedure is called blood doping. Traditionally, this required an athlete to remove a unit of blood and then reinfuse that blood later, closer to the event.
After the blood is removed, the blood oxygen level is lower than normal, leading to the release of a hormone called EPO, short for erythropoietin. EPO causes an increase in red blood cells production.
Since the body replaced the donated red blood cells, the reinfused blood adds extra red blood cells, which carry even more oxygen to the muscle to improve performance.
There is another way for athletes to get the same result without having to donate, store and reinfuse blood.
The hormone EPO can also be produced as a prescription drug that has the same effect.
This drug has legitimate use in treating anemia, including anemia caused by chemotherapy.
Unfortunately, the fact that Armstrong doped tarnishes his legacy. Even without the blood doping, he was one of the most highly trained and competitive athletes on the planet.
In a sport in which blood doping is thought to be so common, dedicated training likely contributed to his success as much as the use of banned substances.
His victories in the Tour de France increased the popularity of cycling in the U.S. and promoted the sport among young athletes.
His story of surviving advanced cancer and returning to competitive cycling is inspiring, to say the least, and led to the formation of his important charity foundation.
Hopefully, the fact that he was part of such a broad doping conspiracy wont diminish these important contributions.
