EarthTechling looks at a lot of interesting clean tech news daily as we consider what items to have our staff write about. Here are some green tech news gems we found while researching online you might consider reading more on in today's Clean Tech News Briefs.
Clean energy and the Asian market. The US is pushing to open clean energy markets, cutting taxes paid by corporations and reducing regulations at the annual summit meetings of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum this weekend, but are facing resistance from China, reports Reuters.
What's happening at APEC? The Christian Science Monitor also takes a look at the conflicts over clean energy being seen at APEC, and breaks down a list of the debates between various markets, including the US, the European Union, Canada, China and Japan.
A hypothetical review. Even though its makers say that the electric Rolls Royce is probably never going to ever reach production, Forbes reviews it anyway, saying the Phantom Experimental Electric car, or 102 EX, is a luxurious ride as well as a clean one, but has a few issues with the interior.
Energy and Presidents. The Energy Collective examines how energy, its varying forms and its impacts on the environment and economy, might influence next year's presidential elections, and takes a look at how energy policies are so deeply intertwined with politics in the US.
US solar power for Apple data center. Florida-based Leaf Solar Power is collaborating with Apple to build a solar farm to power Apple's North Carolina data center. Notably, writes AppleInsider, Apple decided to partner with an American solar manufacturer for its panels, instead of opting for an overseas manufacturer as many other companies are doing.
A green lifestyle might not be the whole answer. Grist.org takes a good hard look at how to really solve energy crises in the US, and says that "green" lifestyle choices are not really the way to correct energy- and carbon-related problems in the country. While making environmentally-conscious changes in one's personal life is a good step, the article says, the only real way to make change is by direct political action.
Alternative energy for you. Alternative energy can save home and business owners a bundle, but, Inc.com says, each energy plan must be tailored to the specific site, otherwise the optimal benefits worn't be reached, and provides some anecdotes about companies using various forms of clean energy to suit their needs.

What is boat feel for Carlos Dinares?
If I need to answer that question with words I will say: Boat feel is the feel of the feedback of the boat and your body while rowing. How rowing feels when is done right?
This is a key question and the answer to this question is very important. There is only one way to know this and it is rowing a Team boat with a good rower and feel his rowing. This experience is a lot more powerful than any explanation done with words. Good boat feel is too complex to be explained and needs to be experienced.
For me boat feel is one of the key elements to row fast. Why? Because the only way to know what you need to do to get the boat to its full speed the more efficient way is by making adjustments depending on what you feel.
I also use the feedback of the rowperfect3 computer software to feel the way your body moves the most efficient during the rowing stroke. I take this feel to the water and try to replicate the most efficient movements that the computer and rowing simulator is teaching me when I reach the best possible numbers and power curve for the effort realized.
When I get these numbers, I remember how it feels and try to repeat it again and again until is wired to my system. That way I can take it to the water where I don't have that accurate feedback.
You feel or perceive through the sense of touch or contact of your body with the boat. The rower feels the boat, the water, his body and also listens and looks at.
In this video you can listen and see what you think the rower might be feeling.
In this next few opinions some people talk about what boat feel means for them:
"I think the simplest way to explain it, if this is what you mean, is just that, being aware of how your actions affect the motion of the boat in terms of run, dipping at bow or stern and lateral balance. Or, when you see a change in splits, being aware of what led to it?"
"You can describe love. But until you have that Eureka moment in life you can't create the experience for anyone.
I wouldn't linger on it until someone says "that felt really good" then ask why.
Once you have an athlete who has good feel, they can educate others by cnveying the standard of feel at anyone time.
However the only way to create feel is to teach correct technique until with the right athletes they just get it. Some never get it. But some people never really fall in love."
"How do you describe the feel of driving a car or riding a bike? I've been in the game for decades and can't tell you. As a top coxswain reminded me lately, her role is a guide dog for the blind. That says more about the rowers, their repetitive motion, and the lack of visual cues, than it says about the coxswain's role. More than a lot of athletes, rowers feel their way through the sport – they don't see very much. Recently, because of what she said, I've been coaching a lot more for feel (and sound) and less for action, and it's helped.
There are things to feel for. The feet moving toward you instead of your reaching out. Hanging on the handles, acceleration, quiet finishes, the rise and fall of the hull, the unbending of the oar shafts, the calves touching down before the arms break, the turning of the wheels around the catch, the quads locked down through the finish, and more. Feel is why we do drills. But when a boat feels smooth and fast, it likely is…at least relative to your skill level. It's one of the great things about rowing. Even the first-day novice knows it."
"I have found that in order to "teach", or probably more accurately create an environment for an athlete to discover the feel of efficiently moving the boat, it is often very helpful to remove the "non-feel" cues and "crutches" so to speak that most rowers rely on to execute the stroke. For example, while most people are familiar with having rowers close their eyes as a drill on occasion, I have routinely taken to having athletes go through the large bulk of some practices with blindfolds on as soon as they are tied in so that the visual cues that allow them to escape their reliance on feel are not available under any circumstances. While this may be a bit disconcerting to many individuals at first, it certainly was for me whenever I did it, once the visual cues are just not there, even by peaking for one stroke, the athlete does what he/she has to do to get into a proper rhythm and move the boat and the level of concentration and focus on the actual connection to the water on the drive and the effect it has on the speed of the whole system is dramatic. This blindfolded drill is effective not just with steady state rowing but can be done at racing cadence and in doing starts, etc. depending on the level of the crews. I have always wanted to actually have a crew execute an actual race blindfolded at an early season race of little importance to go through the exercise under actual race conditions, but have always been a bit concerned that doing so would be disrespectful to the other crews, so my crews have only done so in pieces against each other during practices.
Once the blindfolds are removed towards the end of any given practice, and the visual cues are back, I have found that the technical precision and efficiency of the crew is dramatically improved along with the speed as reflected by the splits on the speed-coach.
There are other means of removing cues which your crew may be relying on which are preventing them from being in a position to discover the feel of the boat, and using creative tools to remove the "distractions" which they are relying on to essentially avoid the more difficult physical and mental task of feeling the movement of the boat is often very effective. This means that you are not so much teaching feel as you are removing those distractions which prevent them from learning feel in the only way I really think is effective, namely discovering it themselves. You can describe it as much as you want, but until someone feels it they will not truly know what you are talking about. It is the coach's task to create the environment which will result in that discovery through the use of whatever creative drills or tools you can think of to match your specific situation or problem."

Emerald City Glitter
|I think, by now, everyone in the world knows that inFAMOUS: Second Son will be one of the most important titles to release within the first six months of the PS4 launch. The first-party games coming out during this timeframe aren't bad, per se, but they're also fairly conventional in terms of genre and design. We know it's not that revolutionary to make a prettier first-person shooter, and we're definitely used to prettier driving games, but upping the scope, detail, and visual fidelity of an open-world game is a much tougher feat. At the same time, Second Son makes so many changes to the franchise?easily one of Sony's biggest?that's it's not clear what kind of reception it's in for. So, Ray, after seeing a bit of the game in action at Gamescom, how are you feeling? System-seller or flop?
|I'm in the "system-seller" camp, but a little less so than I was before. While our demo gave us a little more insight into Delsin's character and the open world he'll explore, the focus was on the use of the DualShock 4. Although the guys at Sucker Punch were really excited to utilize the controller's new speaker (tech that's been around since the Wii, by the way) and the touchpad, I feel that if they're not careful, they could get into gimmicky territory. Needing the touchpad to perform certain mundane actions in the world is one thing, but the pressure-sensitive stealth kills? I'd still much rather push a regular button. When you really get into a game, you stop thinking "pushing triangle will make me use this power" and just naturally press that button because you need to use that power at a particular time. With the touchpad, I don't think you'll get that natural, streamlined thinking because of its uncomfortable placement on the controller, and that could break immersion for gamers, no matter how pretty digital Seattle may be.
|To a certain extent, I think that's true. Whenever there's a new controller with a new input method, developers seem to almost force themselves to use it, even if it's on a subconscious level. Remember using the Sixaxis to balance as you walked across logs in the first Uncharted? Remember doing it in Uncharted 2? Point proven. And Second Son's game director, Nate Fox, confirmed to me that the touch-based interactions will not be optional (though the controller-speaker stuff will be, in case you want to play in bed with headphones while your partner's sleeping). But, I mean, if I'm being honest, they don't appear to be that intrusive. The worst was probably, as you said, having to use them for stealth takedowns, since I'm afraid I'll accidentally press some buttons on the way up to swipe that thing. The other examples were fairly benign, like holding up a generator core with your left thumb on the pad so you can punch it with the trigger. That's just a slightly improved quicktime event, to me. Not exciting, but not the end of the world.
|I just worry there's going to be a mission where I have to be quiet and I end up blowing the whole damn place up because my thumb doesn't comfortably stretch far enough to use that touchpad. Besides this, though, I'm still pumped for Second Son, because we also learned a new power: neon. At first, I'll admit, I thought neon sounded like the stupidest power ever. But it continues with the theme to use less "mainstream" powers?like electricity, fire, and ice from the first two games?and to try different ideas, like smoke. While Fox wouldn't give us any hard details on what Delsin could do with neon, you've got to figure there are going to be some offensive, defensive, and transportive abilities in there. Neon's a volatile gas, so maybe you can blow stuff up. Or blend into neon signs like camouflage. Or travel through neon tubes to explore different areas. I'm just speculating here, but considering Delsin's getting a lot more powers than these, I'm pumped up for sure.
|Ray, neon is not a volatile gas in that sense of the word. Neon is a noble gas, which means it has eight valence electrons at its highest energy level, a trait that makes it incredibly difficult to react with. Neon is inert. But your lack of chemistry knowledge aside, I do appreciate all the stuff you mentioned. With Delsin getting multiple unique power sets this time around, I think there'll be a lot more variety to the gameplay, and the visual impressiveness of the smoke and neon effects still floors me every time I see them. I also really appreciate the fact that we don't have any idea what neon does. I'm so used to superpowers like the ones you mentioned, that are so well-worn that you know exactly what you'll be able to do with him. Oh, fireballs, ice beams, chain lighting, obviously. But with smoke, neon, and (presumably) whatever else we get down the line, those movesets aren't going to be obvious. There's no expectation, so they're free to deliver some really clever stuff. I hope it all comes together as nicely as it seems it will.
|Damn you, Wikipedia. You've failed me again. I never was any good at chemistry. Anyway, what I really liked about the powers was that they seem to come from the layout of Seattle itself. Smoke from sewer grates, neon signs?these are things that you see everywhere in Seattle. Of course, maybe with this logic, that means Delsin's other powers involve Starbucks or abundant amounts of rain. Speaking of rain, the dynamic weather system and water effects are superb. I know part of this is from the technological advancements with the next-gen hardware, but you'll have standing puddles of water after a storm that reflect their surroundings, and you could theoretically have a fight spill over from one part of the city in a downpour to another where the sun's still shining. Mind you, it's not a perfect 1:1 re-creation of Seattle due to enemy bases and blockades and whatnot, but at least you'll be able to climb the Space Needle.
|Yeah. As someone who's driven around the Pacific Northwest quite a bit, I'm looking forward to seeing how Seattle comes across in the game, especially in terms of how they blend in a lot of the more natural, forested areas on the outskirts of the city. Sucker Punch did a great job with the swamps of New Marais, and Fox did tell me there will be some similar elements of nature involved in Second Son?though he shied away from any concrete details. You know, Ray, now that I think about it, a rain-based power would be a great fit for Seattle, and it could probably be interesting gameplay-wise, too. Going up into clouds, flying for a little bit, then raining back down into human form. Oh, or grunge. Delsin could control transform into sound waves, but only if the music is lo-fi and gritty enough. No, no, wait. I've got it. Delsin's next power is hipsters.

What a World Series this has been between the Dodgers and Astros. I could watch those guys all night.
In fact, that's exactly what I did.
Sunday's incredible, wacky and wild Game 5 ended early Monday morning – 1:39 a.m. to be exact. Alex Bregman's RBI single in the bottom of the 10th ended a game that had started 5 hours and 18 minutes earlier.
Television ratings for Game 5 were solid. In fact, something rare happened as the World Series outdrew Sunday Night Football.
Still, you can't help but wonder how many people were asleep for hours as the team traded haymakers in the final few innings.
It's a shame. One of the greatest World Series games ever and too many people missed it. Just think how cool it would have been if Sunday's game had a 4 p.m. start. It would have ended before 9:30 p.m. We would be talking about Game 5 forever because we all would have seen it.
But, no, Major League Baseball insists on playing its games when too many, especially young people, can't stay up to watch. Heck, many of those who had to get up for work Monday morning had to give up on the game before it reached legendary status.
How can you expect to grow the game when your greatest moments happen past bedtimes?
Maybe that's part of the NFL's popularity: its best moments, including the Super Bowl, are at a reasonable hour.
I get it. Primetime is where you make your money. And, sometimes, long games can't be avoided. That's just the nature of baseball.
But knowing that, knowing that baseball games can run long, why not use the weekend to air afternoon games, just like the old days? Not every game had to be played during the day. But give us one or two every World Series.
It would give us all something to enjoy now, and it would give baseball fans for the future, too

The PLE Computers Heroes Of The Storm 5v5 tournament
The Steelseries PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds 2v2 tournament
Old School - Worms World Party Remastered
There's some great sponsors supporting us for the event:
Phoenix IT has a gaming keyboard for the prize pool.
Aussie Broadband will be providing internet for the event.
Multicomm IT will have some cool gear for us as always.
Pinkys Pizza will be providing discounted large pizzas with free delivery.
PLE Computers have got some gear for us to give away.
South West TAFE have provided funding for the event to promote their Certificate III in Information, Digital Media & Technology.
Real Deal Memorabilia have dug into their treasure trove of geek gear for us.
Warrnambool Fun Centre have supplied vouchers for free sessions on their go-karts and paintball.
Steel Series are providing some gaming mice to add to the prize pool.
Another great LAN over & done.
The turnout wasn't as good as previous events, but we still all had a great time and gave away some of the best prizes we've had in LANOTD history.
Thanks to all the guys who came and gave us a hand during set-up, it would have taken us ages to shift all those tables and chairs on our own. A special shout-out to Johnny Ward for the long hours he spent on those pesky switches.
The ASUS Unreal Tournament 2004 tourney was awesome gun blazing, mad jumping fun. With a sweet MG279 27" gaming monitor up for grabs from SteelSeries as well as some vouchers for PLE Computers. I do have to wonder though if Badgers new screen played some part in their win…
Later it was time to take a stroll into nostalgia with the MOHAA: Spearhead old school tournament. Players spammed, camped and grenaded their way through 3 classic maps vying for the Razer Blackwidow Chroma keyboard provided by Phoenix IT. There were cries of angst aplenty and more bullets expended than at a Texan wedding when Shamfknwow raised aloft his arms in victory…or got out of his chair at least.
Aside from the tournaments we also held 3 novelty competitions to keep the blood pumping. You may think it cruel to make people scull custard and then get wheelbarrow-raced across a sporting field, but we like to think of it as character building. A few competitors may have eaten some grass along the way, but it's bound to be good for them….cows live on the stuff after all. The winning pair got Republic of Gamers Gladius mice thanks to ASUS.
We also gave the gamers a chance at a rematch against our admins in another basketball competition. They looked stunning in their sweaty onsies, which I assume they plan on burning. I had to wonder if they were losing their touch though when two young girls who were about 5 feet tall managed to get by them and score. After some not-so-spectacular exhibitions of athleticism, and a final free-throw shoot out, a winner emerged. He received a go-kart voucher from Warrnambool Fun Centre.
Finally we had possibly the most entertaining competition we've ever run……the dance off! Competitors pranced, cart-wheeled & wormed as they attempted to eliminate their competitors through feats of grace and co-ordination….as well as head-spins and the six-step. After much applause (and laughter) the final exhausted LANer received a Republic of Gamers Strix wireless gaming headset from ASUS.
Lastly we had the prize raffle with a record number of tickets being sold as people tried to increase their chances of winning the awesome BattleBull gaming chair provided by PLE Computers. The admin team had hand-cramps by the time ticket sales closed.
We all knew the chair was going to go on the first ticket drawn, but we didn't expect 2 people to jump up and try to claim the ticket. It turns out one disappointed LANer needs to learn his ABCs better, I think I saw a tear in his eye when he realised. Interestingly the next ticket drawn actually was his, just to rub salt in the wound. Other great prizes included two $75 vouchers from PLE Computers, some Star Wars Chubbies from Real Deal Memorabilia, a micro-drone from Multicomm IT, Splat Zone paintball vouchers from Warrnambool Fun Centre, a Republic of Gamers Zulcan Pro gaming headset from ASUS, and a keyboard bag from SteelSeries. We also scrounged up a Western Digital 120GB SSD, 8GB DDR4 RAM, some $50 Steam vouchers, a razer gaming keyboard, and some Pop Vinyls.
All in all it was a great event. We even had one guy spend his 18th birthday at the event, which he may have regretted when we had everyone in attendance sing happy birthday to him
Thanks also goes out to Pinkys Pizza for the discounted tucker, Mittoni for providing some water-cooling gear, South West TAFE for their aid in covering expenses, and of course Aussie Broadband for the internet connection that is a necessity of modern gaming events.
LAN Of The Damned XXXVI will be held on April 8th & 9th in the Brauer College Theatre. Entry to the event is $25. All gigabit, all the time!
Tournaments for the event are going to be:
The ASUS Counter Strike: Global Offensive 5v5 Tournament
FFA - Unreal Tournament 2004
Old School - Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
We'll be allowing seat booking at this event. Once confirmations open, anyone who has confirmed their registration can use the Book Seat button and our seating map to reserve a specific seat.

Another great LAN over and done with. We had a pretty good turn-out, and even had an impromptu visit by a journalist from The Standard newspaper.
Thanks to our generous sponsors there was an awesome prize pool. A heap of attendees took home some new gaming peripherals from tournaments, competitions and our ever popular raffle.
Our first novelty competition involved pairs of LANers flexing their athletic muscles on the basketball court against LANOTD admins Kasheem and SomeBreedOfDonkey. Competitors who managed to sink a basket before our admins went through to a free-throw shootout for a Siberia headset from Steel Series. As it turns out computer gamers aren't all that great at basketball, and despite our admins being hampered by onesies the competition took quite a while. In the end the victor emerged, also wearing a onesie as it turns out. Perhaps there's some undiscovered correlation between onesies and basketball ability. I wonder if the NBA has ever experimented with this….
We had something pretty interesting planned for our second novelty competition, until it started pouring rain. Instead we had a huge game of….DODGEBALL! Over 30 LANers lined up to dodge, duck, dip, dive and……dodge. We discovered gamers aren't the most aggressive dodgeballers with competitiors spending more time hiding at the back of the court than actually attempting to knock out their opponents lol. After some pretty entertaining acrobatics the field was finally narrowed down to our fleet footed victor, who took home a Siberia headset from Steel Series.
We had some great tournaments thanks to the huge prize pool provided by ASUS. First up was the hack'n'slash mayhem of the ASUS Chivalry Tournament. We held a single round with all entrants in the one map. With the large number of entrants we got, it quickly became pretty chaotic with swirling melees erupting in all directions. Congratulations to Mr Bluey for his victory and receipt of a shiny trophy and a Cerberus headset from ASUS.
The greatly awaited ASUS Overwatch Tournament ran smoothly on the new internet setup thanks to the efforts of our admin Kasheem. Entrants were keen to show their skills, including a team of guys who'd only logged about an hour of game time. Eventually one team came out as the clear winners, Gentlemen in Kayaks. They received shiny medals and Cerberus keyboards and mice from ASUS.
The ASUS Call Of Duty 2 Tournament also proved popular with plenty of people entering. After an exciting match where competitors battled through a hail of bullets and were met with grenades around every corner, our winner emerged victorious. Congratulations to White Shadow for coming out on top. He received the coveted shiny trophy and a Cerberus headset thanks to ASUS.
Another interesting development was the unexpected appearance of NeoKarn with his Vive VR gear. I think over the course of the event almost everyone had the opportunity to try it out, which was for most of us our first encounter with VR gaming. It was awesome fun to play, and probably almost as entertaining to watch. Boy were my arms tired though.
Shortly after our last event the local gaming community lost a long standing member, Simon "Dougie" Hawkins. He was known to most of us, either from his many years of attending our events, or through his many friendships outside the LAN scene. His family asked if we could do something in his memory, so we invited everyone in attendance to join in one of his favourite games. After a short speech from one of his best mates, Dingo, we piled into a game of Unreal Tournament GOTY for some good old fashioned fragging that I'm sure Dougie would have enjoyed. RIP buddy.
Aside from heaps of gaming, socialising, and random give-aways, we also had our highly anticipated prize raffle. There was plenty of great stuff up for grabs such as Cerberus headsets from ASUS, Batman and Game of Thrones t-shirts from Real Deal Memorabilia, a Razor Blackwidow keyboard from Phoenix IT, a Z-Curve Bow and remote control go-cart from Multicomm IT, and a Roccat Kone XTD mouse from Harvey Norman. Steel Series also provided a Stratus XL game pad, some gaming mousemats, Siberia headsets, and a 6G V2 keyboard for the prize pool.
Thanks also to Aussie Broadband for providing internet for the event, and Pinky's Pizza for the discounted pizza menu and free delivery.
Thanks everyone for coming. Photos from the event should be up on our site soon.
LAN Of The Damned XXXV will be held on September 3rd & 4th in the Brauer College Auditorium. Entry to the event is $25. All gigabit, all the time!
The main tournaments for the event will be decided with the aid of community feedback in the form of a poll on our Facebook page.
We'll be allowing seat booking at this event. Once confirmations open, anyone who has confirmed their registration can reserve a specific seat.
Registration is currently open on our events page.
Sponsors for the event include: ASUS, Pinky's Pizza, Aussie Broadband, Harvey Norman, Phoenix IT, Real Deal Memorabilia, PLE Computers & Multicomm IT
Our first LAN at the new venue and aside from a couple of hitches it went very well. We increased our capacity to 70 for this event and weren't disappointed with the turnout, including about 15 people who drove down from Melbourne. Thanks for making the trip guys. We tried out some new things at the new venue, some of which were awesome, some need a bit of work. Next time the event will be even awesomer
The ASUS Rocket League tournament was awesome with 8 teams entering, the admin crew actually won a game 4-0 despite never having played before. After a very exciting competition and some close games, Scrub Squad emerged victorious. They received STRIX TACTIC PRO keyboards from ASUS and shiny medals. Although it was unfortunately delayed due to bandwidth problems, we got there in the end with some help from the LAN-Slide guys. Good show lads. We apologise for the delay and thank you for your patience. We've got plans in the works for future events to ensure these issues won't re-occur.
Entries for the ASUS Chivalry tournament were also high, but then who doesn't love wildly hacking at people with a sword. The tournament produced the usual cacophony of cursing and shouting, which I take as a sign people were enjoying themselves. In the end it was ElectricOven who slaughtered his way to victory. He received a GTX960 graphics card from ASUS and a shiny trophy.
We then traveled back in time to relive our glory days with the ASUS Unreal Tournament tournament. While some of us may have lost our edge over the years, competition was still fierce. Ending with a Last Man Standing mode final that came right down to the wire, the final man alive was Badger. He took home a STRIX DSP headset thanks to ASUS and a shiny trophy.
Once again we held a couple of novelty competitions. Ten people took part in the physically grueling milk scull & run. A litre of milk to chug, 40 star-jumps, and a bunch of running showed who's stomach contained the most iron, who's legs the most speed, and who had the most entertaining star-jump technique. Although the latter title was taken by Nuke, unfortunately he didn't win the competition. The actual winner took home an Ideazon Reaper Edge mouse for his efforts thanks to Mittoni.
When offered the opportunity to get their own back on the event admins, twenty or thirty people stepped up for a go. With SomeBreedOfDonkey and Kasheem wearing some rather fetching onsies and standing up against the wall like a couple of suspects at a police raid, contestants lined up to try and send a soccer ball ploughing into the defenseless pair. Luckily for them the majority proved to be rather poor shots with a soccer ball and only about 10 scored hits. The finalists got 3 shots at the pair now dancing back and forth like targets in a shooting gallery. Congrats to the winner who scored some strong hits and was called Mexico by his friends….in an affectionate way I'm sure and not at all due to any racial stereotyping. He also received an Ideazon Reaper Edge mouse.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors we not only had some great prizes for the tournaments and competitions, but also an awesome prize pool for the raffle. Prizes included an MVP Carbon headset from Harvey Norman; some large gaming mouse mats, a Republic of Gamers over-clocking controller, some TP-Link PCI wireless cards, Logitech Ultimate Ears, an AStone TV Pro media player, and $50 gift cards from PLE Computers; a pretty sweet Street Kickers remote control car from Multicomm; some Pop Vinyls from Real Deal Memorabilia; STRIX CLAW gaming mice from ASUS; a Logitec G910 Orion Spark keyboard from Phoenix IT. We also kicked in a Seagate 2 TB HDD and a Kingston 120 GB SSD along with a can of Pedigree dog food donated by LAN-Slide. Not sure what point they were trying to make there.
Thanks also to Aussie Broadband for providing internet for the event and to Pinky's Pizza for the discounted pizza menu and free delivery to give us the strength to carry on through the event.
We'll get photos from the event up on our website soon.

As you have probably read somewhere, I am trying to automate my home and make it smarter. I have gone through and upgraded my thermostat with the Nest Learning Thermostat, I have replaced my smoke detectors with Nest Protect and more recently have decided to take it up a notch and get the Chamberlain Garage Door Opener and a Dropcam. These are both certified with the Works with Nest label which means they can automate some aspect of your home.
Month: January 2015
Alices first (real) word….
Fatherhood is one of those things that I always thought I would enjoy and then it happens and it is more awesome than I could have imagined it. Being responsible for another human being that you helped make is one of the greatest joys I have known. It can also be stressful knowing that someone can be that dependant on you and you need to work your hardest for them everyday.
One of the many joys I have gotten to experience since I work from home is my daughters first words. Personally, I would have liked Dada (since I am the more fun one out of me and my wife) but I am just excited to see her grow up and learn new things every day. Check out below for my daughters first word.
Very exciting stuff and I thought I would share it with those reading. Let me know if you have kids and what their first words were in the comments below.
Home Automation – The Electricity Strikes Back
Full disclosure, this should have been posted back in 2014. Alas there is so much time to do things with a 7 month old around the house and a full time job. Some time ago I posted about setting up the Nest Learning Thermostat and the hoops jumped through to get it up and working. Well, I decided to take the plunge and instead of paying someone smarter than me in the field of electricity, wire my own Nest Protects.

What Is swfLib?
- SwfLib is essentially a PHP library that is used to work with the SWF file format. It's class based and scalable to allow for future updates as the SWF file format is revised.
What can it do?
- SwfLib can do a lot of things. In essence, it's an accessible on-the-fly SWF decompiler, but currently isn't meant to be used in such a manner. Instead, it's focus is to give web developers a greater set of tools when working with flash files. Most information contained within a SWF file can theoretically be pulled out.
For example, swfLib can read text found within a SWF file. This has a practical application for a web developer because it can be used to create META tags for a page. META tags can allow for better search engine rankings, and even better targeted ads, which can in turn lead directly to more profits.
SwfLib is even useful for designers of websites! With built in methods for detecting a SWF file's dimensions, the number of frames, the framerate, the background color, and even the Actionscript version, swfLib can be used in tandem with a layout to deliver a better experience.
Show me.
- Feel free to check out the swfLib demo site here. You can upload your own SWF file to see what sorts of information can be pulled from it. If you'd like to see a more specific example, click here to see what sort of information can be pulled from the Royco Cup-A-Soup animation.
- Note that this is NOT a file hosting site. I don't really know how many people are programmers here, but I'm pretty proud of this library and really just want to show people what I can do. I'm definitely excited about how practical this library is for PHP programmers in the flash community, and am willing to talk about what went into this.
I'd also love to hear your suggestions, if any, on what I should add to this in the future. Right now I'm writing an extension to it that allows me to pull out image files like JPGs used in the animation, as well as streaming music.

A Patient and Relative Centred Evaluation of Treatment Escalation Plans: A Replacement for the Do-Not-Resuscitate Process
Obolensky, L
Clark, T
Matthew, G
Mercer, M
Bibliographic Citation
Journal of medical ethics 2010 Sep; 36(9): 518-20
The Treatment Escalation Plan (TEP) was introduced into our trust in an attempt to improve patient involvement and experience of their treatment in hospital and to embrace and clarify a wider remit of treatment options than the Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order currently offers. Our experience suggests that the patient and family are rarely engaged in DNR discussions. This is acutely relevant considering that the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) now obliges these discussions to take place. The TEP is a form that the doctor completes, ideally with the competent patient or close relative, documenting what treatment options would be appropriate if that patient were to become acutely unwell. Ventilation of the lungs, cardiac resuscitation, renal replacement therapy, intravenous fluids and antibiotics are all discussed. The study evaluated patient and relative experiences with the TEP. 55 patients or their relatives were interviewed regarding their experience of the TEP and thoughts regarding the process. 96% of patients and relatives evaluated thought that the TEP was a good idea. Free text comments were all positive and only 34% of patients claimed to feel anxious when completing the form. Following this study, the TEP has been expanded hospital wide and into the community within our trust. Discussions are currently taking place in hospitals within our region to introduce the TEP form into other local trusts.

I am here to share our favorite and recently discovered recipes with you. I am determined to start stepping out of my comfort zone and try recipes that have previously intimidated me. Our family was bored with our usual meal rotation. So I am forcing myself to be adventurous and explore the culinary world. Join me. I hope I can encourage you to step out with me!
A little about us here, so you don't have to read it on every recipe post…I'm a wife and mother of one amazing daughter. We live in the south where the winters are mild and the summers are completely BRUTAL.
We share our home with two Pomeranians. Maggie is 16 years old and has been a true joy of a companion. Which prompted us to acquire another Pomeranian about 4 years ago. London the 4 yr old pom is slightly crazy and completely annoying but her awesome cuteness keeps her around. Seriously, SO annoying.

Beneath the brilliant yellow roof of a Sozio's appliance outlet here, sales manager Sam Ranallo sits quietly tallying receipts. ''Yeah, it has been a good year. The last couple have,'' murmurs Mr. Ranallo - with the nonchalance of a card player admitting to a ''fair'' hand while holding four aces.
In fact, big-ticket home appliance sales have soared. ''This will be a record year - our best year since 1973,'' confidently predicts Marian Johnson, spokeswoman at the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers in Chicago. For the second year in a row, the industry is heading toward total annual sales gains of more than 20 percent.
The microwave oven, a rarity during the last appliance boom, is today's hottest-selling item. The electronic sizzlers account for one-fifth of all major appliances shipped. And this year, shipments are up 60 percent over last year.
''The changing American life style'' (more single and married working women) is cited as one factor whetting microwave demand. Also, a blossoming mass-market audience has opened up as Asian producers join in and push prices lower: Some ovens now sell at $150.
Although sales of the larger appliances have tapered off in the last month or so, microwave sales are expected to continue strong through the holidays and into next year. By 1986, manufacturers predict, about half of US households will have one - up from 33 percent last year.
The good news for the consumers is that, overall, prices on most major appliances (refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, and laundry machines) have sagged slightly. And they aren't expected to increase much, if at all. As the sales pace has eased, competition is heating up in this already highly competitive industry. ''Profit margins are going to get squeezed, so there will be some need for price increases,'' according to Charles Ryan, vice-president of fundamental research at Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, the brokerage firm. But no manufacturer wants to sacrifice market share, so the price increases next year are likely to be small - perhaps 1 percent, Mr. Ryan says.
Price, however, plays a less important role in buying decisions than back in the mid-'70s, say analysts. Customers are likely to focus more on quality and special features. ''They come in with a copy of Consumer Reports tucked under their arm,'' says Sam Ranallo at Sozio.
Reliability is essential, but manufacturers are trying to match products to the needs of ''today's changing life styles,'' as well as inject a little pizazz into their lines.
''The appliance industry is very boring: A white box is a white box is a white box,'' admits James Krueger, director of marketing at Admiral, a subsidiary of Magic Chef Inc. For its part, Admiral introduced a ''flash freeze'' freezer this year that gives longer storage life to frozen foods.
And all the manufacturers are melding the basic appliance with silicon circuitry. For instance, industry leaders General Electric and Whirlpool have top-of-the-line refigerators that beep when your child grabs a snack and leaves the door ajar. Both include a digital display panel to alert you to mechanical problems. And the Whirlpool model has a light that tells you when to dust the condenser.
Other electronic gizmos include ''programmable'' dishwashers and laundry equipment. One GE microwave now has an electronic nose that sniffs for the proper aroma to tell one when the roast is done.
Despite manufacturers' claims for added convenience, analyst James Magid at L.F. Rothschild, Unterberg, Towbin calls most of these gadgets ''trivial.... Whirlpool should design the condenser so you don't have to vacuum it.''
This week the Maytag Company introduced a full-size stacked washer and dryer combination with a single digital control panel. Mr. Magid calls it ''a spectacular product.'' Until now, if floor space was limited the only option was to buy a stacked unit of less than full capacity. But Magid says the ''real technological innovations will be in the area of brushless direct-current motors.... In the next two or three years, motors will use less energy and be more reliable.''
Another selling feature touted by GE and Whirlpool is the customer repair manuals now being published. ''There's been a definite trend toward more people doing their own repairs,'' says Whirlpool's Joy Schrage. In 1976, 15 percent of the people calling on Whirlpool's toll-free 800 number sought repair or installation instructions. By last year, 34 percent were seeking repair advice.
''Some are do-it-yourselfers for economic reasons, others because it's more convenient; they don't want to stay home to wait for a repair person,'' the Whirlpool spokeswoman says. As more easily replaceable modular electronic components are used, she predicts, customers will do most of their own servicing.
If appliances have been a buyer's market, is it too late for investors to buy stock in these companies? Probably, many analysts say.
''Just as housing has topped out,'' says Mr. Magid at L.F. Rothschild, it looks as if appliance sales have topped out. ''GE has already had some layoffs.''
Mr. Ryan's industry outlook for the last quarter of 1984: ''We expect sales will be up less than 5 percent on a year-to-year basis.'' (Through September, total sales were up 24 percent over 1983.)
Meanwhile, microwave oven sales will grow 10 percent next year, predicts Ryan. This bodes well for Magic Chef, which this year picked up market share with brisk sales of microwave ovens and Admiral refrigerators (featuring an ice cream maker).
Next year, the Merrill Lynch analyst expects a slower-growing economy will mean total shipments will rise or fall about 3 percent. ''I don't think appliance stocks will become attractive again until well into 1985.''

Naya Rivera Written Off Glee Finale, Future in DoubtMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Naya Rivera may have sang her last song on Glee.
According to various reports, the actress has been clashing with star Lea Michele and has been written out of the Glee Season 5 finale, which airs on May 13.
HOWEVER, Rivera's rep has shot down talk of any firing, making a short and simple statement to E! News:
"Any reports or rumors circulating that Naya Rivera was let go or fired from Glee are absolutely untrue. End of story."
Ryan Murphy has acknowledged that Glee Season 6 (already confirmed as the final go-around for this floundering comedy) will feature a time jump and a smaller regular cast, so it's very possible that there simply isn't room for Santana.
And a source acknowledges that Rivera's future on the series is unclear, regardless of whether or not she is feuding with Michele.
"We love Naya and want only the best for her," says an insider who works on the series. "Hopefully we can work it out.
Santana was originally scripted to share a number in the finale with co-stars Heather Morris and Amber Riley, but that storyline has now been altered.

"The reinstatement of this service between the US and BVI is excellent news for both destinations. The additional lift helps to promote travel amongst us for both locals and visitors."

Passengers can book their reservations now on capeair.com or by calling 800-CAPE-AIR (284-495-2100 in the BVI).
"Cape Air offered non-stop service between St. Thomas and Tortola until December of last year. However, increased recent demand sparked considerable local interest in the route's reinstatement. The local USVI and BVI communities both requested the return of the service between St. Thomas and Tortola, and it is our pleasure to honor that request," said Linda Markham, President of Cape Air. "It is very important for us to be able to listen to the suggestions of our passengers and the communities we serve and respond to meet those needs," she added.

"The reinstatement of this service between the US and British Virgin Islands is excellent news for both destinations. The additional lift helps to promote travel amongst us for both locals and visitors," said USVI Commissioner of Tourism Beverly Nicholson Doty.

brick by brick
Many years back, I was having a rough time of things. Nothing like what I would find myself going through in later years, but at the time, it was a crisis of confidence and identity that left me pretty empty and confused and alone. Interestingly, it wasn't the earlier dissolving of the seventeen-year relationship that was tearing me down, but rather a later, shorter term one that had [and continues to have] resounding and rebounding effects on me.
Eventually, I gave in and saw a therapist. I have a hard time with facts and realizations that don't come from within my own head/heart, so I'd avoided or ignored that avenue of assistance for a while. In this case, I'd already done a bit of it with a joint/group counselor, so taking it a step further and finding someone who was strictly "on my side" was a bit easier. And it ended up helping, to an extent...it let me get some things that were rattling around in my head out into the open, throw some light on them, and let them air out a bit after being kept in the dank, dark bits of my brain for so long.
A short while after that situation resolved itself [or at least was in the process of being resolved], I had a conversation with each therapist about what had happened and what I was planning going forward. Both of them, independently, encouraged me to find a support group for "people who'd been through similar situations". I demurred, deflected, downplayed...and they saw through it, but were both savvy enough to plant the seed and then back off. A short time after that, one of them followed up with me, and told me point blank: "Stacey, it may not have been physical, there may not have been bruises, and you may have felt that your eyes were open and you were aware of what was happening, but it was still *abuse*. You took an emotional beating, you were worn down, you were forced to defend who you were at the core of your being. You faced anger and defensiveness and belittling and projection of insecurities onto you; you were left doubting what you wanted, choices you'd made, and where you wanted your life to go. You were precariously close to letting yourself make decisions that would have affected you for the rest of your life because it was easier than continuing to swim against that tide, but you pushed through, dug in, and stood tall. Never forget that. With everything you'd been through before then, with everything that happened during, and everything that came after, you took control of your own life. You took responsibility. That is something that will serve you for as long as you need it, for as long as you live."
And a few weeks later, the other therapist said something very similar, and encouraged me again to look into support groups. I never did end up doing that; instead I worked with both of them to build a foundation for those newly-rediscovered and hard-fought lessons. Both were skilled in letting me get to the conclusions on my own; rather than pushing me where they thought I should go, they simply provided a conduit to let my thoughts flow in the right directions, which was the best way for me to internalize and actually trust in what I was figuring out.
Because of them, a lot of difficult introspection and truth-facing, and some very kind, patient, and loving friends and family, I gained tools that served me well in the times that were still to come. With luck, I won't need what I learned again...but if I do, I know that it is all still there, and that it can never be lost or taken from me. It was hard-earned, and worth the fight.

READ MORE - What to do when a girl cries?
What to do when a girl cries? Well, this is the answer :
1. You put your arms around her and let her have a good cry. Once she is calms down you can ask her what the trouble is or if you already know then try to make her laugh. That's about it! It's nice of you to be that concerned though. Good for you!
But if that only makes things worst (if you bring up why she`s crying), then just don`t talk about it and try to cheer her up.
2.Give her a quote like this one "A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out." Let her know your there.

Wow, where does the time go? It's time for the The Allergy & Free From Show Scotland 2017 already! Whether you're a seasoned Allergy Show veteran or a first timer, here's my top 5 Reasons You Need To Be At The Allergy & Free From Show Scotland 2017.
Hosted at the SECC in Glasgow on the 11-12th of March, pretty much the entire world of free from will be waiting for you under one roof. Brands you love, brands you'll grow to love and a genuinely fun and exciting day out awaits you. Need a little more convincing? Here you go!
1. Sample new free from delights before anybody else!
There will be a ton of free from brands at The Allergy & Free From Show Scotland and they'll all be showcasing the latest and greatest in their range of their free from products. You know what that means, right? You get to try them! Genius Foods and Tesco are particularly awesome at putting on a wide range of samples for us all to try, some of which aren't even available in supermarkets yet. If that doesn't get your pulse racing, then I don't know what will!
2. Discover new free from brands.
Of course, we all have our fave free from brands and products, but The Allergy & Free From Show Scotland has a bunch of amazing smaller brands that you won't necessarily find in your supermarket free from aisle. It's been so lovely to watch so many wonderful small brands grow to the point where they start popping up in supermarkets… but for me, I always found them first at The Allergy & Free From Show! The Scotland show is also especially worth visiting because of the wonderful variety of local Scottish brands it attracts.
3. Watch and learn.
This year, The Allergy & Free From Show Scotland will have a bunch of different cooking demonstrations courtesy of Dove's Farm Kitchen. These short bursts of culinary works of art are quick and easy to make, whether you're a beginner or an expert. If you've ever wanted to brush up on your free from cooking skills them now's the chance! Just make sure you stick around to try the dish at the end 🙂
4. Genius are hosting the show!
As Genius Foods are based in Scotland, they'll be sponsoring the event which means it'll be heaven for any Genius fanatic! Founder of Genius Foods, Lucinda Bruce-Gardyne is often on hand giving cooking demos and answering any free from questions you may have. Of course, it usually means lots of tasters of Genius' delicious gluten free crumpets, muffins, pancakes and more! If you're lucky, they might even do you a hot gluten free sausage roll!
5. Tickets are totally free…
I felt like saving the best until last here… and since I like you, you can use my link to get free tickets! Now you have no excuse not to go, right?! It's at the SECC in Glasgow on the 11-12th of March, so if you're local or you fancy a little adventure, then please, please, please make sure you go check it out. It's the best free from day you can have out!
Well… what are you waiting for?! But seriously, it's such a fun show and me and Mark really have a great time every time we go. Not only is there a bunch of great products and brands on show, but you won't find people more passionate about free from outside of The Allergy & Free From Show. If you wanna find out more info then go check out The Allergy & Free From Show Scotland website for more info. Got any questions about the show? Leave a comment below and I'll gladly fill you in!
Thanks for reading,

My friends and I had such a pleasurable time at Cafe Marimba recently. This was the first time in many years that I've had Mexican food other than the standard fare.
Note that Marimba is disciplined with reservations. They'll hold your reservation for 15 minutes, no more. This is a popular place, so the policy makes good sense for both restaurant and customers. We were lucky and the owner stopped by to welcome us. She answered our questions about mole by offering us tasting samples of three kinds of mole before we ordered. She arranged them from mild to assertive. This was a nice, personal touch.
I ordered the Marimba Sampler. This highlights: 1. huitlacoche enchilada 2. mole rojo chicken enchilada 3. spicy chorizo empanada 4. mole amarillo chicken tamale.
Most unusual and quite tasty was the huitlacoche enchilada. Huitlacoche is a fungus, described as mushroom like. Afterwards, I found out that huitlacoche is corn smut! I grew corn a number of years ago. I remember corn smut as the nasty growth ruining golden, beautiful ears of corn. Huitlacoche has been traditionally considered a disease in the US, but prized in Mexico as a gourmet delicacy. Now I have ambivalent feelings about huitlacoche!
The mole rojo chicken enchilda was wonderful. Everyone makes mole slightly different. This rojo was robust and harmonious. Its ingredients includes a hint of chocolate.
The empananda and tamale were good, though not memorable.
Another plus for Cafe Marimba was that even though the place was packed, my friends and I could enjoy conversation. In particular, we sat at a small table next to the eastern window, that has only one table next to it.

Whether accessing online homework or quizzes, getting up to speed on prerequisite material, or utilizing a media-rich eBook, Connect Finance provides a complete digital solution. Connect's seamless partnership with course content allows instructors and students to go beyond the print world, into the digital realm with complete confidence. Connect Finance features include:
Connect Finance Features
Assignable, animated videos with 3 accompanying questions help students understand the key learning objectives. These dynamic videos are between 2-5 minutes in length are especially helpful to keep students engaged and those who would like additional review outside of the text. Videos are available with select Corporate Finance and Personal Finance titles.
Excel Simulation Problems allow students to practice their Excel skills within the context of Corporate Finance or Investments. Questions feature animated, narrated Help and Show Me tutorials for students, as well as automatic feedback and grading for both students and professors. Excel Simulation problems are available with select Corporate Finance, MBA Corporate Finance, and Investments titles.
All NEW Personal Financial Plans are available for the first time within Connect. The assignable, auto-gradable plans correlate with sections of the text and have students work through a case and apply concepts learned.
Prep Courses cover the basic concepts in Math, Statistics, Accounting, Excel, and Economics, and are comprised of animated tutorial modules with quiz questions. Instructors can assign as homework or include for optional practice. Prep Courses give instructors more time in class to cover finance topics, and ensure that students do not get left behind.
Connect Finance helps students learn more efficiently by providing feedback and practice material when they need it, where they need it. Our assignable, gradable end-of-chapter content helps students learn to solve problems and apply the concepts in finance. Algorithmic versions allow students to practice problems as many times as they need, to ensure that they fully understand each problem.
Algorithmic problems are auto-graded exercises using different numeric values each time a problem is served up to the student. This gives students practice in working a problem several times – same question, but different numbers each time. This also deters cheating because each student in a class or lab receives a slightly different version of the problem and correct answer.
Guided Examples provide narrated and animated, step-by-step walkthroughs of algorithmic versions of assigned exercises, allowing students to identify, review or reinforce the concepts and activities covered in class. Immediate feedback is provided so students can focus on the areas where they need the most guidance.
Connect Finance includes a comprehensive test bank of various question types, allowing the instructor to create auto-graded assessment material with multiple problem types, algorithmic variation, and randomized question order.
Available within Connect, SmartBook actively tailors content to the individual student. The more a student interacts with SmartBook, the better it gets to know what they know and what they don't know, helping students to maximize study time. By providing students with a safe place to make mistakes, showing them the areas they need to work on most, and by giving them consistent, personalized feedback at the exact moment they need it, SmartBook helps them to bridge their knowledge gaps and come to class prepared.
