Viacom is expected to announce — perhaps as early as today — an enhanced bid for Paramount Communications Inc., which has agreed to be acquired by hostile bidder QVC Network for about $ 9.7 billion.While Viacom could not be reached for comment on its plans, sources close to the situation said the company spent the weekend hammering out terms of a new bid with backer Blockbuster Entertainment, which is expected to double its $ 600 million investment in Viacom in order to make possible a higher bid. Blockbuster last week increased its revolving credit line to $ 1 billion (almost triple the old amount) and Wall Street sources said Blockbuster's board met over the weekend and approved putting that money toward a higher offer. Stiff terms While Blockbuster could not be reached for comment, the burgeoning entertainment retailer is expected to extract a pound of flesh for any increased participation. In fact, speculation was strong over the weekend that Blockbuster intends to merge with or take over Viacom. In the past year, the homevideo giant has expanded aggressively both in Hollywood and in music retailing and chairman Wayne Huizenga seems serious about cementing his company's position as a major entertainment industry player. While its present investment in Viacom is $ 600 million in preferred stock, which converts into non-voting Viacom B class stock, Blockbuster was said to be seeking new and tougher financial terms for its increased commitment, including more seats on the Viacom board — the original investment gave it one seat — and a stipulation that its equity interest be either direct or convertible into Viacom Class A common stock, which has voting rights. Stock analysts said Viacom could make a direct private placement of new Viacom Class A stock to Blockbuster, with Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone retaining a majority stake in the company. QVC's current merger agreement with Paramount consists of $ 92 a share in cash for 51% of Paramount's 124.5 million shares, and QVC common stock, convertible preferred stock and warrants for the balance. Wanted: Another $ 600 mil Analysts said that Viacom will need at leastan extra $ 600 million to top QVC's terms by raising its present tender offer to $ 95 a share from $ 85 a share for 51% of Paramount.

Mailtime Looking ahead to the 2012-13 season, what would yousay is the most games the Warriors could win and the fewest, depending onwhether things go their way or not? James, Oakland, Calif.Steinmetz: I would say that best-case scenario,the Warriors win 48 games. Thats the best. As for worst, Id say somethinglike 32 or 33 wins.First, lets explain the 48. I dont think theres any doubtthat if the Warriors stay healthy this season, they should be in the mix forone of the final playoff spots. Looking at the Western Conference, youreprobably going to need 43 or 44 wins to get there. I think if things fall reasonably into place, the Warriorshave a shot at getting there. Now, if there are some things that break theirway outside of their control, youve got to allow for even more wins.For example, if Dirk Nowitzki gets hurt in Dallas or ifLaMarcus Aldridge gets hurt in Portland, I could see adjusting the win total upa little bit. Over the past several years, the Warriors have not been a verygood road team. And I just dont see that being cured overnight. What I do see,however, is a Warriors team that is deeper and more talented than in yearspast. They should be able to take advantage of opponents that are not at fullstrength.Now for the worst-case scenario: If Andrew Bogut cant puttogether a full season, I think the Warriors are in trouble. Hes thesingle-biggest key to the season because he is someone who could be a veryimpactful player at a very important position.To me, the worst-case scenario for the Warriors and theirfans would be to suffer through another injury plagued season and Im talkingabout Bogut and Stephen Curry.What Warriors fans should be concerned about most is theteam getting hit by injuries and then the Warriors being in the same spot withtheir draft pick in 2012-13 as they were a year ago with Utah.If the Warriors wind up with a top-six pick in the 2013draft, they get to keep it. If they wind up with the No. 7 pick or worse, theymust give it up. It would be pretty demoralizing if, come February, theWarriors find themselves worrying about that draft pick again.Is Kent Bazemore going to make the team in yourestimation? Stephen, Dublin, Calif.Steinmetz: Hes got a good shot at it. But keep inmind, if Bazemore is on the roster on opening night, it doesnt necessarilymean hes made the team for the season.Right now the Warriors have 15 players under contract which is the maximum.But Bazemores contract is not fully guaranteed, so whatthat means is the Warriors could waive him at any time and not be on the hookfor the remainder of his deal.So, Bazemore being on the roster actually gives the Warriorssome flexibility because he doesnt have to be there all season. If, forexample, the Warriors want to make a deal in which they trade one player fortwo players, they could still do the deal, and simply waive Bazemore.But the Warriors do like Bazemores ability to defend wings,and its clear they want to see more of him.What happens ifwhen Jeremy Lin is clearlyoutperformed by at least six other point guards in the Western Conference andis still voted an All-Star game starter? Raj, Walnut Creek, Calif.Steinmetz: Well, thats the risk you take anytimethe fans have control of the vote. I supposed thats possible, but other than itbeing awkward or a little unfair, what can you really do?Im less interested in whether Lin makes the All-Star Gamethan I am in how he plays this year for the Rockets. I anticipate Lin is goingto be a nice player for them, but he wont resemble the player who killed itfor the Knicks during that stretch last season.But I certainly expect him to be better than when he was athis worst last year, turning the ball over constantly and struggling with hisshot.I have no trouble saying that I didnt see last year comingas it relates to Lin. All I had to go on was when he was with the Warriors, andhe struggled. I think Lin is a legitimate NBA player now.Im not sure that hes an everyday starting point guard fora very good team. I see him more of a backup type point guard. But thats justme. And with that said, Im the first to admit that a prediction on him doesntmean a thing because, like I said, I had doubts he could even play in theleague in the first place and he can certainly do that.Is it possiblethe Warriors could buy out Andris Biedrins contract. Bill, Emeryville,Calif. Steinmetz: Yes,its possible but I just dont think its likely. The only way I see it aspossible is if Biedrins has absolutely no interest in playing basketballanymore. And I dont believe thats the case.Biedrins has two moreyears remaining on his deal at 18 million with Year No. 2 being a playeroption.What Im getting around tois Biedrins is guaranteed 18 million. Why in the world would he give any ofthat up? For what? I dont see any reason why Biedrins should even entertainbeing bought out. I know I wouldnt unless I felt the situation in GoldenState was so deplorable that Id do anything to get out.But I dont see that beingthe case. The NBA is littered with bad contracts, and as bad as Biedrinscontract is right now, its actually not that awful. The reason being prettysoon, its going to become an expiring contract and once that happens itbecomes beneficial to the Warriors.Next year the Warriors areeither going to be able to trade Biedrins to a team looking to clear cap space,which could net Golden State a legitimate player, or the Warriors could simplyallow Biedrins to come off their books, which will aid their financialstructure.Im not nave enough tobelieve Biedrins is going to return to the form he had three or four years ago.But I do think he could become a serviceable backup to Andrew Bogut and givethe Warriors something off the bench.As for the being paid 9million to be a backup, hey, it is what it is, as they say.

Report: Warriors GM Bob Myers was Lakers' No. 1 target
On Tuesday morning, the Lakers made sweeping changes to their front office.
Magic Johnson is now the president of basketball operations and both general manager Mitch Kupchak and executive VP of basketball operations Jim Buss were fired.
Los Angeles -- looking to hire a new GM -- originally targeted Warriors GM Bob Myers, according to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.
But as Wojnarowski reports: "After Myers signed a recent contract extension, it became clear to Lakers brass that it would be unable to lure Myers."
In September, the Warriors promoted Myers from general manager to president of basketball operations/general manager.
Myers was named the NBA Executive of the Year following the 2014-15 season.

USAID posted an article on their blog about 3D printing and the IEPAS weather station project.
USAID posted an article on their blog about 3D printing and the IEPAS weather station project.
We have been a little remiss in reporting progress on the MMA Weather Station over the last few months, but we've had some early prototypes out in the elements for testing and we learned some important lessons on durability and reliability. Here's an update on what we've been up to:
Outer Shell and Structure
Aside from electronic components, parts for the stations are made on a 3D printer. This includes some of the circuit 'boards' and wire connectors. In late spring / early summer, we placed a station at the Marshall Field Site in Boulder, CO. The site is used by NCAR/UCAR to test stations and sensors. While it's only been out at Marshall for few months, we were nonetheless pleased to see that the components show no sign of aging in the sun, wind, and rain. Connections between modules hadn't moved, the plastic did not discolor or crack, and the movement of the anemometer remains unchanged. Since placing the station at Marshall, we've made a number of changes to further strengthen and improve the ruggedness of the design.
"The Brain"
We struggled for some time with how 'smart' each station should be, as well as how best to perform basic data logging, data processing, time stamping and synchronization, and communications functions you would expect or need. We initially threw out any notion of developing our own circuits, as this would undermine the spirit of the project in several ways. First, we did not want to mass produce boards, as this then created one more highly specialized external dependency for the meteorological services that would be making the stations. Our goal is to enable the manufacture and assembly of weather stations, by using readily available off the shelf base components. This allows for long term maintenance, as well as customization. Secondly, if we opted for the boards and circuits to be built in-house by each NMHS, then this would require special training, skills, and equipment. If too much skill is required, then the ability for the system to work in areas of limited resources is threatened.
We therefore had the option of using some of the common hobby micro-controllers out there, such as the Arduino. While inexpensive and easy to setup, we eventually rejected such devices, due to the cost of add on components and features. For instance to add data logging would cost $15, wireless communications $30; so on and so forth.
Eventually we looked at single board computers, and chose the Raspberry Pi. It quite literally is a small computer. It comes with ports for Ethernet and USB connections, wireless functionality is added easily and cheaply, data can be logged to the same card that holds the operating system, and it still hosts all the GPIO functionality we need. As it is a full on operating system, we expect to be able to provide some more advance features, which make sense and are nice for remote use and access locations. Data processing can be done at the weather station, rather than waiting for collection and centralization of information. A GUI management interface is easy to create and provide. Updates of scripts (Python and shell) used to read the sensors, manage data, and create communication links are easily updated on the fly, as opposed to a micro-controller.
Currently, we have all the basic scripts and functionality for the station working on the Raspberry Pi. There is a lot of polishing and further testing to do, but at this point, we're very pleased with the selection.
Junction Box and Circuits
The Junction Box gathers together all the cables from the various sensors and also houses the rain gauge amplifier, a real time clock (RTC) IC, and an analog to digital converter (ADC) for the analog sensors (temperature, humidity, rain and wind direction, necessary because the Raspberry Pi will only accept digital input). The introduction of the ADC, like the amplifier — a 16 pin IC chip, prompted a rethink of the "Steinson Circuit" that we were using with the amplifier. While the circuit seemed to be pretty reliable, it was somewhat fiddly to make and certainly had the potential to cause problems, so the prospect of having a "Steinson Circuit 2" for the ADC did not seem like a good idea. We still wanted to avoid soldered connections and preferred the use of off-the-shelf, push fit jumper cables to standardize the design of all the other multi-cable connectors that will link the various components of the weather station (see below). We also wanted to enclose and seal all the connections to avoid corrosion and temperature differential issues, which can be a problem with these types of sensor in this kind of application. We believe the new approach achieves all these goals while at the same time being easier to assemble and very robust (all connections are tightly clamped and enclosed under a sealing layer of hot glue).
Connectors and Plugs
We started off using CAT 5e punch-down jacks to connect different components of the weather station together but during initial testing it was clear that this approach would not be durable enough. We've developed a series of connectors which clamp together multiple push-fit jumpers in a way that allows easy disconnect of individual components while also providing very stable connections, thanks to the precision of the 3D printer and liberal application of hot glue to secure and seal. These connectors have evolved into plugs that are integrated into the cases of the junction box, rain gauge and radiation shield, providing a plug-and-play approach that should make assembly in the field foolproof and minimize disruption during maintenance (a replacement rain gauge could be swapped out in a matter of minutes without the need to open up either the new gauge or the junction box). The plugs are designed so that they can rotate in their socket, which allows a convenient way of leveling the component pieces before they are clamped in place (particularly important for the rain gauge).
Rain Gauge
Little of consequence has changed on the rain gauge since we originally described it (see Hybrid Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge Design), other than the introduction of the connector plugs described above. The plug in approach provides much better protection to the very delicate wires on the load cell, which tended to break easily in previous iterations.
Low Cost Anemometer
No self-respecting weather station can do without a means of measuring wind speed and direction. We have some ideas for a combined gauge that will do both at once but it will need some extensive development and testing, so in the meantime, we plan to include a conventional, three cup anemometer and wind vane in our station. We're using a digital (latch) Hall Effect sensor triggered by four small magnets to count rotor revolutions for the anemometer (these will then be converted to wind speed by a script in the Raspberry Pi), and an analog Hall Effects rotational sensor, again triggered by magnet, to determine angular displacement of the vane. Once again, the majority of components are made on the 3D printer, and a small, sealed ball bearing allows low friction rotation.
We did some initial testing of the anemometer in our own "high tech testing center" (A.K.A. the warehouse with various fans and blowers.) and the results from three prototype units demonstrated consistent enough performance for us to move to formal testing. We later gave one unit a brief run in a wind tunnel, where it survived a wind of around 115mph (low category 3 hurricane), although there were some indications that it was not going to last much longer. With the lessons learned from the brief wind tunnel experiment we did some redesign so that the various components are locked in place and we are now ready for a full calibration test which we hope will be conducted by the National Weather Service Field Support Center in Sterling, VA.
Radiation Shield
The radiation shield protects various sensors (temperature, humidity, pressure) from direct exposure to the sun, while allowing sufficient circulation so that the air being sampled is representative of outside conditions. We have loosely based our design on the Maximum Minimum Temperature Shield (MMTS) that is used by the US National Weather Service, although the diameter of the leaves was dictated by the size of the build plate on the 3D printer. We're trying something that we haven't seen in commonly used shields – we've added a mesh screen to all air inlet/outlet passages to dissuade wasps etc. from making their home inside the shield. We figure that the remote locations that we are targeting with the MMA project will likely mean sporadic maintenance for many of the stations, so colonization by creepy crawlies is a distinct possibility that we should try our best to prevent. In addition to field testing, we also hope to eventually test all the components in the wind tunnel to see how they withstand extreme winds. All the components of the Radiation Shield are made on the 3D printer.
Sensor Connections and Holders
The various electronic sensors that we're using all tend to have very delicate connectors, so to ensure reliable and consistent connections we've conceded that this is the one place where we cannot avoid the soldering iron. Fortunately, these are all simple, easy access soldering jobs that even the dexterity-challenged (such as your humble scribe!) can handle.
After several iterations, we've narrowed down the hybrid gauge to two versions that we are going to subject to initial testing. The first version, modestly named the "Ultimate" is the largest version of the gauge that we can make in the confines of the 5" x 5" x 5" build volume that our current, preferred 3D printer allows. Other 3D printers have a larger build volume, but the model of printer we have selected we feel is more reliable for field projects. The second version of the hybrid gauge, prosaically named the "4'' Pipe" is designed to fit inside a standard 4" PVC pipe, so that the pipe acts as both the casing and the funnel rim, two of the largest and most time consuming parts to manufacture. This means that the bucket used in the 4" Pipe is significantly smaller than in the Ultimate, and if you've had a chance to read our fascinating analysis of the hybrid gauge design (see Hybrid Tipping Bucket Rain Gauge Design) you'll know that one of our theories is that a larger bucket results in less tips, which reduces one of the sources of error that afflicts tipping bucket rain gauges; i.e. the tendency for rain to enter the bucket after it has begun to tip. All other things being equal, we think this gives the Ultimate a slight edge over the 4" Pipe, although the smaller bucket does allow us to use less gain on our signal amplifier, which means that we can get better reading resolution (more on this to come in a later article). To determine conclusively which is better, we will need to conduct some extensive field tests, which we hope to do in the coming months. Right now we just want to make sure that our concept is sound so that we aren't laughed out of the testing center when we eventually get there, so here goes…….
Before we could start testing, we had to settle on how some of the electronic circuitry would be configured, at least temporarily, so that we could receive and process the data coming out of the gauge. Up until now, we have been using an Arduino board to read the output from the load cell and, for the moment, we're going to continue with it, although we eventually expect to migrate to a Raspberry Pi platform for added flexibility and computing power. There's an article elsewhere on the site about the amplifier circuit that we are using for the load cell (see 3D Printed Circuit Board) and we decided to house this in a central junction box that will also serve as the mounting platform for the rain gauge and the other gauges/sensors that we eventually hope to deploy, which should include an anemometer and a "Stevenson Box" to house multiple sensors, such as temperature, humidity, pressure, etc. Also in the junction box are a couple of CAT 5e punch-down jacks that we will use to connect the various components together (for now, load cell to amplifier; amplifier to Arduino board – see Photo 1).
Until now, we hadn't attempted to read more than a few seconds worth of data from the load cell, so storage for later evaluation hasn't really been an issue, but for these tests to be meaningful, we needed to be able to collect several hours' worth, which can really add up when you're sampling as frequently as 10 times per second. To transfer the data from the Arduino to a laptop, we used PuTTY ( http://www.putty.org/) which is "a free and open-source terminal emulator, serial console and network file transfer application". Some initial fiddling with the load cell and our first test indicated that the output was a little jumpy, so I was very happy to find a simple little smoothing routine in a tutorial from our friends at Arduino (http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Smoothing).
All we needed now was a rig on which to mount the gauge and a supply of simulated rainfall. It turns out that even torrential rain doesn't look like a lot of water when it's condensed into a stream that represents the amount falling within the collection orifice of a typical rain gauge, so the first requirement was a means of controlling water flow to a very slow drip. Rather than using a 1000 words to describe how we did it, take a look at photo 2. The mount for all this was cobbled together from an old lamp stand and various PVC and GI pipe pieces and fittings (photo 3).
Our initial testing has focused on pouring a measured amount of water through the gauge (measured by weighing the contents of the water flask before and after the test) and then totting up how much water the gauge has recorded passing through. So far the results have been pretty encouraging – all within 2% using a pretty rudimentary approach for data analysis – so we're going ahead with the planning for some real field testing.
IEPAS' project partner and activity lead, the Consortium for Capacity Building, has released a draft a USAID OFDA funded study. The report, "Hydro-Meteorological Disaster Risk Reduction: A Survey of Lessons Learned for Resilient Adaptation to a Changing Climate", examines a decade of work to find lessons for climate adaptation projects. In capacity development activities, what constitutes climate adaptation is often difficult to define. As a result many adaptation activities are 'business as usual' or repeat investments made earlier. The report from the CCB looks for best practices from hydro-meteorological disaster risk reduction projects to provide guidance for those investing in climate adaptation.

As described in more detail elsewhere on this site, the MMA project aims to take advantage of the recent emergence of low cost electronic components and innovations in micro manufacturing technologies to develop a range of affordable meteorological instruments for manufacture and use in developing countries.
The automatic rain gauge that is currently under development aims to improve the performance of the traditional tipping bucket gauge (the most commonly used automatic precipitation gauge) by adding the capability to weigh the rainwater as it is collected in the bucket using the components of inexpensive (but very precise) weighing scales that are now commonly available. Using this approach, the tipping bucket itself no longer plays a part in measuring rainfall but simply provides a means of emptying the collection vessel in a controlled way. By measuring the weight of water in the bucket at regular intervals and subtracting the previous reading, the volume of water collected per second or minute can be determined and translated into mm/inches of rainfall.
We're calling it the hybrid gauge because it combines some of the features of the tipping bucket with some of the features of an automatic weighing gauge, which usually takes the form of a large container (that does not automatically empty) and an elaborate spring balance/drum recording device. As far as we know, this is a new idea – the following section lists some of the advantages that we see with this approach.
Advantages of the Hybrid Tipping Bucket Design
Section 188.8.131.52 of WMO's CIMO Guide Part 1: Measurement of Meteorological Variables lists six main sources of error specific to tipping bucket rain gauges:
(a) The bucket takes a small but finite time to tip and, during the first half of its motion, additional rain may enter the compartment that already contains the calculated amount of rainfall;
(b) With the usual bucket design, the exposed water surface is large in relation to its volume, meaning that appreciable evaporation losses can occur, especially in hot regions. This error may be significant in light rain;
(c) The discontinuous nature of the record may not provide satisfactory data during light drizzle or very light rain. In particular, the time of onset and cessation of precipitation cannot be accurately determined;
(d) Water may adhere to both the walls and the lip of the bucket, resulting in rain residue in the bucket and additional weight to be overcome by the tipping action. Tests on waxed buckets produced a 4 per cent reduction in the volume required to tip the balance compared with non-waxed buckets. Volumetric calibration can change, without adjustment of the calibration screws, by variation of bucket wettability through surface oxidation or contamination by impurities and variations in surface tension;
(e) The stream of water falling from the funnel onto the exposed bucket may cause over-reading, depending on the size, shape and position of the nozzle;
(f) The instrument is particularly prone to bearing friction and to having an improperly balanced bucket because the gauge is not level.
We believe that the hybrid Tipping Bucket/Weighing Gauge that the IEPAS project is currently developing has the potential to improve on all of these 6 sources of error, when compared to a standard tipping bucket; here's our logic:
(a) To be sensitive to light rainfall, the standard tipping bucket rain gauge tips at 0.1 – 0.2 mm of rain (per the CIMO guide, "This amount of rain should not exceed 0.2 mm if detailed records are required"). The problem with this is that during heavy rainfall, the bucket tips back and forth like a Ramones' metronome – by our calculation, 250mm/hr rainfall would require 1250 tips per hour, which works out at one tip every 2.9 seconds. The hybrid gauge does not use the number of tips to measure the rate of rainfall; instead, it continuously weighs the rainwater accumulating in the bucket and uses the tipping action simply for emptying the bucket. This means that the gauge can be designed to tip far less regularly – the largest version of the hybrid gauge should (conservatively) tip after around 2mm of rain (every 29 seconds at 250mm/hr), so without attempting to address the cause of the error, the hybrid gauge reduces the frequency of occurrence by around 90%. The increase in rainfall required per tip is achieved by using a larger bucket and by reducing the size of the collection orifice. According to the CIMO Guide, "The size of the collector orifice is not critical for liquid precipitation, but an area of at least 200 cm2 is required if solid forms of precipitation are expected in significant quantity", so as long as we avoid installations such as the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, the hybrid gauge with a smaller orifice (75cm2) should be fine for the tropical/sub-tropical locations for which it is intended.
(b) The hybrid gauge calculates the amount of rainfall by measuring the increased weight of water that accumulates in the bucket over a set period of time. Because the weighing scale is sensitive to one tenth of a gram, this time period can be very short (for 250mm/hr rate of rainfall, 0.1 grams will accumulate in around 0.2 seconds) so evaporation should not have a significant effect on readings, even in very light rainfall. (2.5mm/hr rate of rainfall should be detected by the hybrid gauge in 20 seconds, as opposed to almost 5 minutes for a standard gauge).
(c) The method of measurement and sensitivity of the hybrid gauge allows it to keep a continuous record even in very light rainfall, so onset and cessation of rain will register quite precisely in all but the very lightest and shortest events – the "no tip" situation that occurs when a small amount of rain falls that is not sufficient to trigger the standard gauge is not a problem with the hybrid.
(d) ,(e) and (f) These issues are related to the need for the standard gauge to tip with exactly the same volume of water every time, as the number of tips is used to calculate rainfall totals. The hybrid gauge measures the difference in water mass collected in the bucket from second to second, so it doesn't really matter if the tipping action is inconsistent, as it is not used to calculate rainfall. The added advantage of this is that dimensional tolerances and precision in manufacturing, assembly and installation are less critical in the hybrid gauge, making it much more suited to local production.
Section 6.4 of the CIMO guide lists the major causes of error that are common to all types of precipitation gauges, namely:
(a) Error due to systematic wind field deformation above the gauge orifice: typically 2 to 10 per cent for rain and 10 to 50 per cent for snow;
(b) Error due to the wetting loss on the internal walls of the collector;
(c) Error due to the wetting loss in the container when it is emptied: typically 2 to 15 per cent in summer and 1 to 8 per cent in winter, for (b) and (c) together;
(d) Error due to evaporation from the container (most important in hot climates): 0 to 4 per cent;
(e) Error due to blowing and drifting snow;
(f) Error due to the in- and out-splashing of water: 1 to 2 per cent;
We believe that these potential errors relate to the hybrid gauge in the following way:
(a) and (f) are independent of the hybrid's measurement approach and so are indeed common with standard gauges (we are attempting to minimize them in the design of the collecting funnel).
(b) By using a smaller orifice (and hence smaller funnel) than the standard gauge, the surface area of the internal walls of the collector are significantly reduced, which should reduce the wetting losses. This advantage is countered to some extent by the rough surface finish that results from the method of manufacture; it's possible that we may use some treatment (e.g wax) on the wetted surfaces to improve this.
(c) As we are measuring the change in mass in the bucket from second to second, this is not relevant.
(d) As described above, this should be minimal for the hybrid gauge
(e) We don't measure no stinkin'snow.
Sources of Error Unique to the Hybrid Gauge
Right now only three potential sources of error come to mind that are related to the use of load cells to weigh the accumulated rainfall.
(a) Inconsistent output/load response between different load cells
(b) Non-linear output from the load cell under very light load
(c) Floating "empty bucket" output
(a) Initial testing (and literature review) suggests that even the inexpensive load cells being used are extremely consistent in their response to load, to the extent that calibration of individual gauges is probably unnecessary
(b) The design of the hybrid gauge is such that the load cell is pre-loaded by the weight of the bucket and it's support structure, so it's always operating in its linear range
(c) It is possible that the "empty bucket" output might drift very slightly from day to day, which might give a false indication of a minute amount of rainfall (can probably be discounted during quality assurance of the data?)
Because our own Mr. Steinson would not claim the credit for himself, I give to you the 'Steinson Circuit Board'; a circuit board made with a 3D printer using ABS plastic.

To complete it a resistor, amplifier IC (placed on the opposite side of board), and connecting wires are inserted into slots and holes in the plastic board, making a perfectly working circuit. While it may look particularly shiny, no glues, conductive paints, or other materials were used to fasten the wires and connectors. The pins for the amplifier are simply bent, as are the leads for the resistor. Wires are 'hammered' in place with a small awl. Once put together, the wires and components are surprisingly secure. In some ways the board offers more protection than a typically soldered PCB. Not shown in the picture above is a small cover and clamp that prevents accidental shorts (such as by laying the board on a conductive surface) and further secures the wires and components.
It might seem that we used a new tool to do something that can be better accomplished with other approaches. For the MMA weather station project, however, we dreaded the idea of designing and ordering custom PCBs, as this would undermine the whole idea of bypassing mass-production in favor of local fabrication and eventual customization. A small CNC router could make PCBs, but small boards are difficult to build, and it added another tool and level of complexity to the project. Again, the point of the MMA is to move fabrication and eventual design of weather stations to developing countries. Similarly, the thought of etching a PCB with chemicals was unattractive given the skills necessary, likely scarcity of the materials needed in our envisioned project locations, and some danger / hazard to the maker. Of course solder boards are available, but then too we would need to supply boards externally, as well as introduce new skills and tools.
Most of the circuits on the weather station are very simple; typically consisting of a sensor, amplifier, resistor and then points for power and read out. Few of the sensors the project has considered are ICs, and for now at least there are no SMD components. The only chips in use are the amplifiers and clock timers. Everything then hooks up to a micro-processor, such as an Arduino. While the 3D printed plastic circuit is not for every application, the ability to do so makes the stations considerably more simple and inexpensive to fabricate. It also makes the overall project simpler, by not necessitating additional tools and methods to address one specific component.
Eh….probably not….but maybe.
Some of the structural components we have designed for the weather station have been developed on a 3D printer that uses PLA. PLA is great as the warping is less than with ABS. This is particularly important for larger pieces or those with extremely thin walls, such as the Stevenson screen. Typically corners are printed more sharply as well, and PLA is comparably more rigid than ABS. All of this is good for the end 'fit and finish' of the station, or case components for something like a Chatty Beetle.
Unfortunately, PLA is not really intended for outdoor use. One of the great environmentally friendly things about PLA is that it is biodegradable, but I am not so sure we will want this material property for a weather station. Some of the research looking at the properties of PLA note that biodegradation will occur in a matter of months, but this is with powder or small fibers maintained at a high temperature and moisture in a controlled composter. A larger piece undergoing natural temperature and humidity fluctuations, such as for the project weather station, might not biodegrade as quickly.
Despite many stating that PLA is not appropriate for outdoor use, which may be true for structurally critical components, the survivability may just be fine for light structural applications. The components on our weather station, for instance, are largely to hold sensors and wiring that is feather weight. In Biodegradable Poly (Lactic Acid): Synthesis, Modification, Processing, and Applications, author Jie Ren notes:
To biodegrade within 90 days, as described, the products have to reach 140 F for 10 consecutive days. This requires a special facility, which few consumers have access to. If your PLA products end up at the landfill, they will not degrade any faster than a petroleum-based product.
The above mentioned reference does, however, state that PLA will degrade in high humidity and temperatures above 110 F. In all likelihood then, PLA does degrade when outside, but the rapid biodegradation often discussed requires a specific set of conditions, which are unlikely to naturally occur. As a side note, PLA is referenced as considerably UV resistant.
So the question is will a weather station printed with PLA degrade considerably over a one year period, or will it be able to remain largely intact up to a three year period, when replacement of structural components makes sense in the normal life cycle of the station? Based upon some of the references I have mentioned, I do not think PLA would rapidly deteoriate as shown in a composting situation, but it is not clear if some level of degradation would still occur, which would make a component unusable or affect the readings taken by a sensor. Of course the durability will be affected by local environmental conditions, to which the PLA printed structures are exposed.
To attempt to figure this out, we are placing test blocks of ABS and PLA in various outside conditions, however, I suspect in the end, we will initially need to print in ABS, as we do not want to delay the project simply to test structural components over a multiple year period.
Injection molding provides a number of advantages over most additive fabrication techniques, such as 3D extrusion printers. Even with small, manually operated appliances, the parts produced on an injection mold machine will have a better finish and greater strength than those produced by a filament extrusion 3D printer. Also, injection mold machines can typically support a wider variety of materials, such as various rubbers.
Of course the real advantage of injection mold processes is speed. Once a mold is created, a part can be finished in minutes, if not seconds. Consider a button. These can be produced in seconds on even a manually operated injection mold machine. On a 3D printer, you should expect 15-30 minutes; sometimes longer. Printing six 1cm x 1cm x 1cm calibration cubes (at once) on our various printers takes anywhere from 2-3 hours.
Getting the speed advantage of an injection mold machine, however, requires an up front investment in designing, testing, and then finalizing a mold for the desired part. This is not trivial.
For our weather station project, we do not foresee any country placing more than a hundred stations, and we would claim victory after a couple dozen fabricated, calibrated, fielded, and operating stations. In our envisioned application, slow production of stations is okay, if not desirable. The intent is not to deploy 100 stations at once, but rather to do so over months and even perhaps a couple years. This has several advantages, but the most important benefit is not outstripping the absorptive capacity of a national weather service to place and maintain equipment. Another advantage is an ability to slightly iterate and customize parts, as units are deployed, thereby integrating lessons learned in the middle of a project.
Having weighed options, an injection mold machine in the MMA project would likely only be used for highly detailed parts, or those that require special material. Otherwise, the investment in a high quality mold outweighs the benefit.
RANET / IEPAS systems, such as the Chatty Beetle, RAPIDCast, and RAW SMS, will be unaffected by the Government shutdown. IEPAS operates under a Cooperative Agreement / grant, and no systems are on or tied to Federal facilities. Information feeds from Federal partners, which our systems rely upon, such as for tsunami, are likely to be considered essential, and so again IEPAS activities will remain unaffected.

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 143 reviews
Had a great stay in a great spacious, well decorated, and clean hotel. Ratings would be higher except for two things that may not bother other travelers. 1. No elevator - Not great for older people with heavy bags. 2. Woolen bed linens - Beautiful but not great for people who are allergic. But kudos to staff who immediately brought replacement linens!!
Great hotel!
Very "dated" atmosphere. Check out time is 10:00am and they make no exceptions. No elevator so had to drag heavy suitcases upstairs. Would not stay there again unless I could not find lodge anywhere else.
Pleasant place to stay for a few days. Staff very helpful on Big Sky features, attractions. An inconvenience is closeness to a couple of restaurants/bars and loud noise late evenings. But it is right in Town Center so you have options for different kinds of food and shopping.
Room 101. The difficult door key was annoying and is an obvious "must fix". Especially considering that it is a handicap access room!

Perfect Grand Ole Opry tour. And the resort was impressive. Don't miss this!
We had a great time at the Grand Ole Opry House backstage tour. We really enjoyed viewing the dressing rooms and standing on the stage where so many wonderful talents have performed. We also enjoyed our boat ride in the Opryland Resort. Special thanks to our tour bus driver who went above and beyond to show us real Nashville hospitality! October 14, 2016 1:30 pm tour
Nice tour , We enjoyed, Recomended
Very interesting and informative. Really enjoyed it.
touring the grand ole opry was so much more than i expected. it was such a cool feeling standing in the circle where so many wonderful country stars have stood. i recommend this to everyone. was well worth the money spent. the resort tour was awesome as well. what a beautiful place. its a must see! we cant wait to go back again!
very good tour, good information
Good tour to get to know the history of the Grand Ole Opry House. The resort is very pretty and HUGE! The indoor temperature was much cooler than steaming outdoors!
This is one of the best tour we have ever taken. The backstage tour was excellent. Our tour guide Brian did such a great job! This is a must see tour. Loved the boat ride at the Gaylord Resort.
The tour was very informative, organized and fun!!!
It was a great tour. Can't wait to go back. Bus was running late to pick us up at the hotel, and driver was ill were the only down of the tour. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Tour director was phenomenal. It was so fun listening to her and experiencing her love for the music that was created in Nashville ! I would highly recommend this tour to anybody visiting Nashville you don't want to miss it it was fabulous !

Absolutely loved our tour to the Gran Ole Opry! It's an impressive place and it's history is amazing. Try to see a show while you're there they have shows weekly!. I wasn't impressed with the Gaylord Opryland Resort would personally skip this part of the tour.
Juanita A United States of ...
Loved the tour. Our guide was great!
Great Tour!!!!! Enjoyed seeing both venues. Brian was the best tour guide!
Even though we are not huge country music fans, we really enjoyed this tour of such an iconic building. Also, the Opryland Resort was beautiful and fun to explore. We did not have a car while in Nashville and found this trip to be an efficient and reasonably priced way to go check out this area. Also, it was a great length of time.
the driver/narrator and a the tour guide backstage were all great
Tour AND Guide was Awesome!
It was great Jean was very friendly and informative, we really enjoyed the backstage athough we didn't get to stand on the circle since the stage was closed for a private event that day.
A definite MUST when visiting Nashville! Everyone there is so friendly!
Really great , very interesting. I had been demoted to a wheelchair and the gentleman looking after our tour was fabulous, looked after me well.
The best tour I did while in Nashville
I enjoyed the tour very much
Great tour very interesting , enjoyed it very much. Our driver was very friendly and informative, picked us up on time and bus comfy and clean.
Very impressed with Gaylord resort but would have liked even 15 or 20 minutes to wander some of the shops.
Great show. Has me thinking of coming back to Nashville.

This review is from: SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X Radeon R9 290 DirectX 11.2 100362VXSR 4GB 512-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support TRI-X OC (UEFI) Video Card
Pros: Great card for gaming! Replaced (2x) Sapphire HD7870's. Love not having to screw with CrossFire anymore. Ran everything I own on ultra.
Cons: Random black screen of death while not gaming. Seemed like if I kept the card under a load, it ran fine, but if I was surfing the internets or just working from my desktop the screen would go black and I would have to reboot.
Other Thoughts: An RMA was issued. I have had a few RMA's in the past and NewEgg was always great to work with. I will revisit this review when I get another card and see if I have the same issues.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition DirectX 11 100354OC-2L 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card
Pros: Easy to install, comes with extra power cables and CrossfireX bridge. So far these bad boys will run everything I throw at it on Ultra.(I bought 2) I have bought Sapphire in the past and so far I haven't been disappointed.
Cons: Woke up this morning to a black screen (and no my monitor was not asleep because I could still see my mouse). Pressed a key on my keyboard and it popped back on. More to follow.
Other Thoughts: I bought these cards as part of a total rebuild for my machine. They are a hell of an upgrade from my old A8-5600K + HD6670 combo.

This person is likely a sales manager, regional manager, director, VP, president, or other executive level manager. I do not want Human Resource managers or contacts.
Job postings must be for sales positions in the food and beverage industries. I do not want entry-level or internship positions.
Postings can be sourced from any of the main job boards like [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], LinkedIn and others like that. Position locations can be anywhere in the U.S.
Since not all of the managers' names and phone numbers will be listed on the web, this project requires a resourceful person to make phone calls and obtain the relevant information from the hiring company.
The information needs to be entered into a very simple spreadsheet. I have uploaded an example spreadsheet of the information and format I require. The spreadsheet can be an excel document (.xlsx or .csv file).
I will need to verify that all of the information is correct before the project is complete. I'm offering a bonus for completing this project by 12pm (pacific standard time), February 22, 2013.
Summary of requirements:
- 30 Sales jobs in the food and beverages industry
- Get name and direct phone number of the person the position reports to (for example the manager, director, Vice President...)
- Position located anywhere in the United States
- No entry level positions
- No human resources managers or contacts
- Sourced from job boards like [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view] and others like those
- Phone numbers must be a direct line to the person or department
- Bonus for completing project by 12pm, February 22, 2013
Please let me know if you have any questions.

for the competition Review by evakig4
i like this bag...!!! it's a dreammm...!!!!
Great bag! Review by Marie
The color is not too red which means I can carry it without feeling like a stop sign. The little quirky compartments are what make it special. What fun!
okay Review by bee
i have this bag in red that i found for half the price and im very pleased..lots of compliment but the flap with the magnet dont close well if you have alot of stuff in it.word to the wise.other than that its a cute bag.
P Review by J
This is by far the best bag that I have purchased from this site. Perfect size and very soft. My 6yr old loves all the secret compartments. There is even one ahe cant find which i hide my ipod in so she cant use it. I bought the cream and started using it on Easter and received tons of compliments!
Outstanding Review by Shell
The secret compartments on this bad totally make it amazing. There's a magnetic catch under the flap that keeps the bag closed - I'm not sure why other reviews stated it won't stay closed. I've gotten nothing but compliments on it!
Mustard Yellow Bag Review by Linda
This is the cutest bag ever! So much room and the color is beautiful...I've been looking for this bag for months, I saw a girl at the Starbucks wearing it and I finally found it here! I feel fabulous wearing it, I'm sure you will too.
Fazekas Review by Glenda
My daughter really liked the bag itself. The handles were too short to carry on the shoulder. The front flap was too bulky and did not lay flat. If those flaw could be corrected my daughter would definitely buy this bag in the future.
beautiful, very classy Review by Sara
I ordered this bag in blue (which is actually a really pretty deep turquoise)the texture is wonderful too, very supple. It doesn't look very big on the outside, but there is a TON of space to stow all my junk inside and all sorts of nifty little pockets and pouches throughout! This bag is really unique and looks like a million bucks. LOVE IT! I exhanged another bag for this one and Handbag Heaven was fast and so nice about the exchange! VERY PLEASED!
The Office Gossip Review by Bela
When I first saw this bag I knew I had to have it! It had only been earlier in the week that I had seen a similar structured bag at a high end boutique. Well, not one to stop myself from buying an accessory that I love I order the secret agent bag. I am very pleased with the quality and size of this handbag. This handbag is not only trending but sophisticated. However, It wasn't until I heard the whispers behind my bag (hehe) that I realized this bag had become the talk of the office and everyone wanted to know where I purchased it-----In fact some were even trying to guess how much it cost (shameless I know). So if you're thinking twice-Don't! This bag is well worth the buy.
Ms_success2004 Review by Angela
I LOVE this purse! It was a wonderful gift to myself and I'm so excited to order this purse in other colors. The material is great, the size is perfect, and the look is amazing! I also love the secret compartments...lets just say you'll have to buy it in order to appreciate it! Thanks HH you guys are the BEST!
the purse lady Review by Kim
This purse is kinda weird for me. I thought the zippers on the inside were cheap so was the lining. The coin purse thing on the flap doesn't stay down and is too heavy to stay shut w/magnet closure, there was just too much going on on the flap(I don't know what else to call it). The straps were too short for my liking as I like a purse to wear on my shoulder. I will say the color was really pretty, I ordered the cream one. That's about all I liked about this purse. Oh yea, it was nice and roomy on the inside.
Classic Bag Review by Michelle
I am very pleased with the shape, size and color of this handbag. Have received many compliments on the look and color.
Classic Secret Review by Wilhelmina
Better than expectations. I've always wanted one of these...looks nice and expensive.
great black bag Review by Kate
Loved this bag. It's my first purchase from the site and I am happy with the quality for the price. My only complaint is that the cloth end of the change purse pocket sometimes comes out when opening and closing the bag... I may end up sewing it in. But I'd still recommend the bag!
Classic Review by Michelle
I love this bag!! The bag is true to the picture and is very well made!! I will definitely purchase from this site again!
Great Bag! Review by Joanna
I just got mine in black and it's very trendy and I love it. Awesome Handbag Heaven!!!
Very chick!!!!! Review by Janie
I got my bag last week and I'm very satisfied with it. It's roomyand holds plenty of my stuff. The only little problem is that it came with the wrap paper stuck in the zipper. The clasp does hold together, but of course if you tried to put more stuff than if can hold, of course the clasp is not going to close...hellooo!! Other than that this bag is a 5 star!!
Lining Teared Review by Andrea
The bag is overall satisfactory. It is a bit heavy when it is empty. However, the lining near the inside zipper compartment teared.
love the bag Review by Janie
Had trouble deciding on what color to order. Ended up choosing black. Roomy. I love the secret pouches in the flap. Holds its own up against the Fendi spy bag I had been looking at but couldn't afford. Found this price very very reasonable. Quality is good. I might just have to get a cream, red, and or mustard one.
buckle unit a bit heavy Review by Janet
All in all a nice bag. It fits a paperback easily inside.
Awesome Review by Crystal
i love this purse its nicely made and i love the differnt compartments .I have alot of hand bags and this is one of my favorites
Cute but small! Review by Rachel
Be forewarned: this bag is a lot smaller than it looks. I would rate it as more of a medium size. The material is thick and rich. With all the metal work, it's pretty weighty. When on my shoulder, it rides pretty high in the armpit. Both straps don't stay on, just one otherwise it doesn't slip off much. There's an open section inside and zippered section. There's a pocket for everything! I LOVE it, but it's a little small.
Perfect! Review by Olga
i've got this bag in mustard and absolutely love it!! the quality is great, the size is exactly as i need for my everything, i've got many many compliments and nobody believes in the price tag! buy it!
F Review by Jackie
There is no question that I love the bag!!! I was concerned that it would be too big but the soft leathery material makes it loose and easy to carry around. Def recommend!
Love it Review by Mary
I'm so in love with this bag..... I wanted to get the Fendi spy bag but it was way to much money so finding this look a like of the bag I want was a great thing... This bag has so many pockets that I can put whatever I want in it an still have lots of room. I would recommend this bag to everyone. It's a must buy...... This bag is my every day bag now and will stay that way.... Thanks to handbag heaven
Cute purse... Review by Holly
This purse looks almost exactly like its 2500.00 designer counterpart. Only complaint I have with it is the little latch thingy dont stick together.
Classic Secret Agent Bag Review by Sandra
LOVE IT.. I saw this bag and everywhere i went i would look for it. but could not find it until i saw on this website. and i purchased the red one it is a must have bag. it is what i expected it to be and more, I recommend for anyone to buy it. it has lots of space and two hidden pockets..
just okay Review by Emily
this bag is a great size and the color is true. however, the front flap doesnt stay closed which looks terrible.
secret agent handbag Review by Patricia
I am very pleased with my new bags tahey seem to be made well and the service was very good
Love my new purse !! Review by Erika
My husband gave it to me as a gift and I love it! It's so pretty and it's made of a very good quality.
Gorgeous!! Review by Ms.Skeptical
This purse is the BOMB! If your even entertaining the idea of getting it..GET IT!!! LOL I love the secret compartment in the flap. good for putting cash or phones there and its totally undetectable. Got mines in black, needed something cute but professional. She's a keeper ladies1 hope I help.
Great Bag, great site. Review by K
Great bag, the red is just as deep as the picture. The bag is soft and looks nicely made. Bag arrived on time and in excellent condition. I wish the main opening was wider, but from what I can tell the bag from which this was copied has the same issue. Great bag, great website. I'll be back.
Love it! Review by Aramah Taylor
I wanted this bag since I saw my sister with the more expensive version. Nicely made for the price, almost identical to the original. Handbag arrived fast. Four stars because it had a scuff mark.
Secret Agent Bag Review by Lise
I bought this for myself in pewter, beautiful bag. The only negative is that the secret compartment makes the bag heavy.
Love it !! Review by ms tee
I love this bag. I had to wait to get it
in black because it was on backorder. But it was definitely worth the wait. This bag holds all my stuff. I really like the secret coin purse that is part of the front flap. I love this site and will be placing more orders.
Best Purse Review by Chana
I love this purse - it was a gift for my sister but I secretly used it for a couple of days. I love everything about this purse and will be buying it for myself soon!

1. In a stainless steel bowl, over a simmering double boiler, whip the egg yolks with hot water until they thicken and ribbon off the whip. This preconditioning helps to achieve the proper thickening and binding of the sauce.
2. Add a spoonful of the hot butter and whip it into the yolks till it is fully absorbed. Repeat until all the butter is absorbed. Go slowly at first, and then more quickly, as the ability to absorb butter increases.
3. Reduce the grapefruit juice to 2 tbs and add it with rapid beating to the egg yolk butter emulsion, which will thicken further. Remove the bowl from heat, and continue beating for a minute or two.
4. Season with a pinch of cayenne, and salt to taste.
nb: Escoffier calls for grated rind to be added. I find it too strong, but if you must, add a teaspoon of grated rind to a pint of boiling water, strain off the water and add the blanched rind.
Notes: Sauce Maltaise is made with the juice of blood oranges. In this version, ruby red grapefruit juice is used as a variation. This sauce is ideal with early Spring asparagus.

I am delighted to support the U.S. Naval Institute and especially the Naval Institute Press. This unique organization that supports our Navy, scholars, and readers in so many ways has a very special place in my family. My late husband's father, Captain Edward Latimer Beach, was an early member of the Naval Institute and served as its chief executive and publisher in 1902. My husband, Ned, followed in his father's footsteps as a decorated naval captain, prolific author, and a proud Institute member for 67 years. Words cannot express my gratitude to the Institute for naming its headquarters Beach Hall, and for those contributors both in the Navy and outside it who by their generosity brought this impressive building to life.
