SAN BRUNO — State regulators are expected to issue a final decision in April about the amount and nature of punishment that PG&E should receive for causing a fatal explosion in San Bruno, a disaster that could repeat itself without proper remedies, city officials warned Monday.
The state Public Utilities Commission is considering two proposals to punish PG&E. One recommendation, from PUC president Michael Picker, would levy a $1.6 billion fine and oblige PG&E shareholders to cough up $850 million for safety upgrades to the utility"s natural gas system and payment of $300 million to the state"s general fund.
The other proposal requires a $1.4 billion penalty against PG&E, but that plan from two PUC law judges has been criticized for putting far less into safety upgrades and giving $950 million in fines to the state"s general fund.
"This decision is a long time coming," said Connie Jackson, San Bruno"s city manager. "It"s important to punish PG&E for what they have done. But we also need to focus on safety going forward. We need additional steps to ensure that this doesn"t happen again."
The state PUC is scheduled to issue a final ruling during its April 9 meeting, according to an agenda filed late Monday by the commission. The item can still be postponed.
Some of the steps to prevent a San Bruno-type disaster are absent from both proposed options, in Jackson"s view.
Among the items that should be in the final PUC decision but are absent from both the Picker and the law judge proposals: a San Bruno recommendation to create an independent monitor to oversee PG&E"s natural gas pipeline system, and the creation of a Pipeline Safety Trust to advocate for gas system safety.
We are accountable and fully accept that a penalty of some kind is appropriate," PG&E spokesman Gregory Snapper said. "We have respectfully asked that the PUC ensure that the penalty is reasonable and proportionate and takes into consideration the company"s investments and actions to promote safety. Moreover, we continue to believe any penalty should directly benefit public safety."
Some officials who have been critical of PG&E said they hope for a harsher penalty.
"I would like the penalty to be a greater amount, but I don"t think that"s possible," said state Sen. Jerry Hill, whose San Mateo County district includes San Bruno. "Overall I think the $1.6 billion proposal is fair. But this is only one phase. The next phase is the criminal trial."
Federal prosecutors have filed criminal charges that claim PG&E committed obstruction of justice in connection with a government investigation in the wake of the explosion, as well as federal pipeline safety violations that led to the deadly explosion. The trial is due to begin in 2016.
PG&E has pleaded not guilty to all charges in the 28-count indictment.
"San Bruno"s consistent and continuing position is that what happened in San Bruno cannot be allowed to happen anywhere else," Jackson said.

Readers Question: my question is If the UK. had joined the Euro back when it first started would the UK. have benefited like Germany or would we be in the same situation as Greece, Italy, and Spain?
If the UK had joined the Euro from the start in 1999, the UK economy would definitely have been affected in a variety of ways. Firstly, in the Euro we would have a fixed exchange rate, no independent monetary policy, fiscal policy would be severely curtailed, and the UK bond market would have had no intervention from the Central Bank.
In short, we could have expected – a bigger housing boom and bust. A deeper recession in 2009. Rising bond yields in 2010-12, leading to greater austerity. No devaluation and less competitive exports.
Housing Bubble
The years 2000 to 2007 were relatively stable for the Eurozone and Euro. However, due to stronger growth in the UK, ECB interest rates were lower than the Bank of England interest rates. Between 2003 and early 2005, ECB interest rates were 2%, UK rates were higher at around 4%.
If the UK had been in the Euro, we could have seen a bigger asset bubble during the years 2003-06. Lower interest rates would have encouraged more people to enter the housing market, causing an even bigger increase in house prices. These lower interest rates would have caused higher economic growth in the period 2000-07, but at the cost of a bigger credit and housing boom. The UK is particularly sensitive to interest rates because so many homeowners have a variable mortgage.
If house prices had risen faster (04-07), they would have been a bigger fall, post 2008. The fall in house prices post 2008 was a drag on consumer spending and contributed to bank losses. If house prices fell at a great rate, then the financial crash would have been more painful and banks lost even more money.
Response to recession of 2008
The economic and financial crisis of 2008 hit the UK more than most other European economies. This was partly because the UK's economy has a bigger reliance on banking and finance – sectors adversely affected by the credit crunch. Other European economies, such as Germany also saw a big fall in GDP during 2009, but were able to bounce back from recession quicker than the UK and southern Europe.
In response to this fall in output, the UK pursued a different monetary and fiscal policy to the rest of Europe. If the UK had been in the Euro, we would not have been able to pursue this independent monetary and fiscal policy.
How UK Policy Differed from European Policy
- The UK pursued quantitative easing from 2009 to reduce bond yields and increase money supply. This helped keep UK government bonds low. It is doubtful whether quantitative easing had much impact on boosting economic recovery. But, without Q.E. the recession could have been deeper.
- Interest rates were cut to 0.5% in March 2009 – quicker than the ECB cut interest rates.
- The government announced some fiscal expansion (tax cuts) and spending increases to provide a fiscal stimulus up until 2010.
- The pursuit of quantitative easing and the deep recession, caused the pound to fall 20%. This helped domestic demand by making UK exports more competitive and imports more expensive.
If the UK was in the Euro, we would have not benefited from the depreciation in the currency, and export demand would have been even lower. Admittedly, the benefits of a 25% depreciation were less than might have been expected. This was due to the low export demand in Europe. But, a strong Pound in 2009, would have made the economic situation even more difficult for UK manufacturing.
If the UK was in the Euro, interest rates, set by the ECB, would have fallen slower at the start of the recession. Also, the ECB increased interest rates in 2011 – concerned about inflationary pressures. This would have worsened the UK double dip recession. The ECB have often shown much more concern over inflation than the Bank of England. The Bank of England tolerated cost-push inflation of 5% – but the ECB have greater emphasis on always keeping inflation on target. (see: ECB v Bank of England)
You could argue in a liquidity trap lower interest rates haven't made much difference anyway, but if the UK had higher interest rates in the recession, we might have seen more homeowners and business default on mortgages and loans.
Despite these unorthodox measures, the UK economy was slow to recover. This might suggest they were ineffective. But, without the monetary and fiscal stimulus, the recession would have been even deeper and longer than we experienced.
Bond Yields and Fiscal Crisis
After 2009, many countries in the Eurozone saw rapid increases in bond yields. Starting with Greece and then spreading to Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy.
Bond yields rose for various reasons, but an important reason was because markets feared the liquidity of countries in the Eurozone. In the Eurozone, there is no Central bank to step in and buy bonds if necessary. This makes countries more susceptible to liquidity crisis, and therefore bond yields rose. (see more explanation here: Independent currency and economic performance)
There is a dramatic divergence between the UK / Germany and Eurozone economies.
Would the UK have experienced rising bond yields like Ireland, Italy and Portugal or would the UK have been seen as a safe haven like Germany?
Given the scale of the UK's recession and budget deficit – it is very hard to imagine the UK being seen as a safe haven like Germany.
The UK had one of the highest budget deficits in the Eurozone – at over 11% of GDP in 2009/10, it was second to only Greece.
OECD – Budget deficits 2012
If we compare the relative budget deficits of UK with Portugal, Spain and Italy – you might expect bond yields to be the other way around.
It shows that being in the Euro, makes you much more susceptible to rising bond yields.
If the UK had been in the Euro, I believe we would have experienced a similar fate to Italy and Spain. Markets would have taken fright and stopped buying UK bonds. This would have pushed up bond yields and encouraged the government to pursue greater and deeper austerity. This would have caused a deeper double dip recession. There is evidence that such austerity measures are self-defeating, but in the Euro the UK would almost certainly have pursued much bigger spending cuts and higher taxes. It would have left us in the unwelcome situation of falling GDP and struggling to reduce a debt to GDP ratio.
If the UK had been in the Euro we would have had a much deeper and longer lasting recession. We would almost certainly have faced a bond crisis resulting from the market fears over Euro bonds. This would have created a pressure to pursue really deep austerity. This austerity would have caused a much deeper double dip recession and left the UK with few options to promote growth and reduce unemployment. Furthermore, we would also be facing an overvalued exchange rate with a decline in competitiveness which would put even bigger downward pressures on real wages and output.
If the UK had been in the Euro, it would have increased the likelihood of the Euro breaking up. A fiscal crisis in the UK would require even bigger bailout funds that would have made it more difficult to deal with.
Staying out of the Euro was good for the UK, but also very good for the rest of the Eurozone.

They came from Pinecrest and Cardinal Gibbons high schools. From Fort Lauderdale, Stranahan, St. Thomas Aquinas, Westminster, and Northeast high schools. Almost 600 14- to 16-year-olds poured into Bahia Mar's ballroom last weekend for the Spring Assembly - 600 with shining eyes, wrist corsages and boutonnieres, and braces. "It's like the swallows coming back to Capistrano," commented Gail Prowell, one of the chaperones who helped check in the swarms of youngsters.
How do you jam 600 dancers onto a dance floor roomy enough for maybe 200? With a shoehorn. But the kids did it. It was like Times Square on VJ Day. No room for fancy footwork. All you could see was this unbelievable mass of young people swaying to the music, with young Kirk Ruoff's head (attached to all 6 feet 7 inches of him) looking out over them all.
Pink was far and away the favorite color for the girls' gowns. Vanessa Costigna wore pink crushed satin; Rene Sodenkamp and Daniella Cooper, pink taffeta; Lisa Thixton, a saucy pink flapper dress; Alyson Winkler, pink with eyelet, and Kristin Canter, pink lace. Aqua was the runner-up. Wendy Geissler, Allison Dinkel, Jennifer Duncan, Holly McClure and Peggy Keough all chose that shade. Pristine white was big, too. Kim Axell, Stacy McGivney and Michelle Martin were among the dozens who wore white.
But at Spring Assembly the young people tend to dress as they please. Many opted for short cocktail dresses. And Cindy Libotte was one of several who wore hoop skirts.
And the guys? Bill Patten wore a white tux; Richard Hoch, white tails and pink tie and cummerbund; Jason Kaufman, white tux with a red tie; Brian Shore, a gray tux; Brian Hall, a maroon tux, and Jim Daddio, gray tails with a violet tie. Brandon Townsley, Wells Squier, Nik Stowell and Nicki Ladikos wore regular suits and ties. Football player Anthony Judge caught double-takes in his charcoal-black suit with a short wrap-around jacket. "It's called a Zoot Suit," said Judge. (When you're that big, you can wear anything you want. And call it anything you want.)
But Paul Maura topped the bunch when it came to creative dressing. A ruby and diamond earring glittered in his left ear.
And then there were the hairstyles. Matt Salgado's was a modified Mohawk. And Tom Monahan sported a snappy new wave cut, all spiky except where it was slicked down on the sides. Asked what the fashion was called, Monahan replied succinctly, "Stylish."

Oregon Coast Question Answered: Best Beaches of Depoe Bay
Published 01/02/2014
Written by Oregon Coast Beach Connection
(Depoe Bay, Oregon) – Between the hotspots of Lincoln City and Newport sits this wonderful wonder – a tad overlooked for all the wrong reasons.
What are the best beaches of the Depoe Bay area, you ask? That's a bit of a trick question since Depoe Bay itself is all rocky cliffs and no sandy beaches – but there are sandy wonders nearby and those cliffs are likely way more interesting than many soft stretches.
It all depends on how you define "beach," really. For actual strands there are Lincoln Beach and Gleneden Beach, just a couple miles north of Depoe Bay. But stick to the town's rocky basalt ledges and you'll find some of the most interesting, dramatic views around – not to mention hidden spots that are chock full of all sorts of surprises and a nice getaway from crazed crowds.
Wander north to Lincoln Beach, about two miles, and you get these kind of unusual stretches of sand full of rather large, coarse grains. This includes the stunning Fogarty Beach, where some trippy caves sit at the top of the cliffs.
From Fishing Rock State Park northward begins Lincoln Beach, eventually morphing into Gleneden Beach about a mile down the road. Both have a fair amount of large, coarse grains, though not as much at Fogarty.
The real fun here is the slightly unusual tide line. The beach slopes rather abruptly into where the water meets the sand, which causes the waves to come in fast and hard - actually a bit alarmingly so – and then suddenly fizz out quickly. They become immediately tamed and come in softly at the last second, after appearing to roar in fast as if they're gunning for you personally. It's awfully engaging.
Depoe Bay itself is all rocky ledges – and gleefully so. The seawall here presents one of the coolest natural attractions on the entire Oregon coast: the spouting horn. Under the right conditions, it shoots off sea water into the air as high as 30 feet and can spray traffic.
These ledges are precarious to walk on, so stay away from the edges.
At the very northern end of town sits a hidden rocky cliff access behind Sunset Ave. This is one of the most spectacular and interesting beach/cliff spots on the whole of the Oregon coast. Sometimes you can feel the waves rumble through the rocks here.
Another even more hidden set of cliffs, full of engaging labyrinth-like climbing opportunities, sits at the south end of town at South Point St.
Also in the area: insanely wowing sights from the cliffs of Boiler Bay, Rocky Creek Recreation Area, Rodea Point, and the soaring viewpoint of Cape Foulweather – some 500 feet above the ocean.
This is a place where you'll definitely say "forget the long walk on the beach – let's check out the cliffs." It's one section of Oregon coast that's sadly a bit overlooked because it isn't a sandy beach, but it's among the most mesmerizing along this shoreline. See the Depoe Bay Virtual Tour, Map for directions, more details and milepost information.

This stone is the stone of truth, honor, communication, and integrity. It is known to enhance your intuition as well as psychic powers. Your creativity and intellect are thought to be strengthened as well. This stone is affiliated with the throat chakra and lessens stress and self-defeating behaviors by calming and building your self-esteem. It is believed to help heal emotional disturbances after a traumatic experience.
Amazonite is thought to have healing properties and helps the heart, nervous system, as well as pregnancy. If you are calcium deficient this stone would be a great one for you as it helps with muscle cramps and spasms. Osteoporosis and tooth decay are also things that Amazonite is known to help prevent or sooth symptoms.
I have used Amazonite in a few of my designs and feel that this powerful stone is one you can wear proudly.
It encourages truth, courage, and self-discovery.
This Buddhist Natural Amazonite Lotus Mala of 108 beads is a wonderful representation of the blossoming of being.

The Full Moon is an opportune time cleanse the energy of your beads and magnify the energies you want to attract. Full Moon energy is potent with the energy of fullness, abundance, attraction, manifestation, love - so keep in mind which gemstones and objects you want to amplify. That being said, you can charge objects at different moon phases for different energies you want to enhance. For example, if you want to manifest love; charge some Rose Quartz, and if you want to attract peace; choose Amethyst or Amazonite. Choose whichever gemstones will help you on your journey to living with intention!

text: Back on July 12th, I posted with great enthusiasm about a recent re-hike of the Burroughs Range in the Catskills. This was awesome, but a killer for me. I'm pretty out of shape. Nevertheless, I packed light and planned to make the same 15 mile day-hike I had done years ago, into a two-day hike. I thought it'd be fun to take my time and enjoy it over a couple days at a leisurely pace. However, it was super hot, humid and muggy. I ended up putting in a good 10 miles on the first day because I couldn't decide on a good camping spot, and for a while had to hike until a legal site was available (There's no camping over 3,500'). And I got tired. Really tired. At times I thought someone would probably find my body (my sweaty, out of shape body) collapsed over a rock cairn; two empty Nalgene bottles at my side. Someone would say: "Geez, this guy was in rough shape! ...See if he's got any change in his pockets." Nevertheless, I traversed Wittenberg, Cornell and Slide Mountains and made it out with only the loss of one Teva. I am sure someone scratched their head upon finding only one Teva sandal on the trail.

Well, it was back to work for the girls today. Lola is going through a very ~ahem~ "active" stage. And we haven't done a whole lot of anything since graduation. So I took her upstairs and ran through all of the basic stuff she knows, focusing on attention. I never really got around to cueing it so I started introducing "Watch". We'll continue to work on that this week.
Penny was antsy all night. She "knew" it was class day. And she was ready to work. I'm so proud of her. We worked on heeling, direction changes, down, lots of attention & supervised separation. Heeling was great. Her attention is stellar. Down is fine...although she refuses to tip onto one hip. I may try to shape this during the course of the week. The separation is another issue. I suppose I should be happy to have a dog that's so bonded to me. We did two run throughs, leaving her w/ Jim, Annette's assistant. I got about 20 seconds out of her until she started to stress. We're gonna keep at it & hopefully, she'll get better. I'm going to try to work on out of sight stays as well & hope that will give her a job to do while I'm gone, making the whole thing less stressful. I really love this class and love working with Penny.
I realize I don't make any reference to working with Sherman. And it's not that he doesn't get any attention. But Sherman is different than the girls. They really thrive on mental stimulation while Sherman is more content to chew or play with a toy or do some fun basic commands. Which he does get a lot of. He's certainly not neglected.

Climate and mystery. The land of the long white cloud, New Zealand, is made up of a longish, narrowish north and south island.
The most severe drought in history has overtaken the north along with part of the south and more droughts are predicted.
Normally, NZ exports a whole lot of milk and global milk prices are at a record high.
Secondly, one or two tornardos have occured in NE Victoria, Australia, and created havoc in several towns. The towns are new to me and include Koonoomoo, Yarrawonga, Mulwala, Barooga, Bundalong and plain old Rutherglen.
On another topic, turning to ancient writings, a well known incident of betrayal is recorded. Simon Peter was by the fire in a courtyard where a maidservant said of him that he was with Jesus the Nazarene, who had been arrested.
Simon Peter denied it before all the company and said that he had no knowledge of him. Then he went out into the porch and there heard a rooster crow.
A maidservant at the door said to the bystanders that Simon Peter was one of them but this was denied again with an oath that he knew nothing of the man.
After a while, the high priest's servant, a kinsman of the man whose ear Simon Peter had cut off with a sword said that he saw Simon Peter with Jesus in the garden. Others said that he must be one of them because he spoke like a Galilean.
Simon Peter began calling down curses on himself and swearing that he did not understand what they meant and that he did not know the man.
Simon Peter had been told he would make the denials and when he remembered this and again heard a rooster, he went out weeping bitterly.
So Easter Week begins today with the passion narrative.
And shades of this week in parliament come to mind.

Joe Stevens working with DIVAcontemporary and fellow Weymouth artist, Sally Watkins, on an Audience Development project about South Dorset Ridgeway. They will be conducting interviews with the general public on location at Morrisons in Weymouth and the Co-Op at Littlemoor.
To help kick start the consultation you can help by completing this very simple poll on how you use the Ridgeway – it'll take you all of 30sec;
The Ridgeway is something I
a – Travel over;
b – Travel along;
c – Look at from a distance
The poll is at: http://www.51degreesnorth.net/joe/archives/1588
It will help gauge how people see The South Dorset Ridgeway, is it just something you travel over, or a place where you go to enjoy yourselves.
South Dorset Ridgeway
The South Dorset Ridgeway is an outstanding space. It comprises the ridge of high land running parallel with the coast, between Weymouth and Dorchester and has been an important place for people since the Neolithic (4,000 – 2,000 BC). www.dorsetaonb.org.uk/

Sparkles w/ Pebbles and Strings
For video graphics and editing - mostly 2k film and time lapse photo.
i7 6-core.
~ ~ ~
I prefered the Asus X79 Deluxe because it has Wifi. It comes integrated into the back I/O with a small magnetic antenna that I placed on top of the case.
I have yet to try OC even though Asus visibly made an effort to make it easier. ie: switches on the MB ~ ~ ~
I may upgrade to 64GB but for the moment 32GB seems fine.
~ ~ ~
The price/performance of the GTX 780ti is pretty good. It really improves playback response in Adobe's software. Having fast drives helps too.
I'm using 2 monitors (1600x1200 and 2560x1400).
~ ~ ~
Asus PB278Q has Samsung's PLS panel (IPS).
I like the dot pitch (size of pixel), the anti-glare, and the view angle. And I got it refurbished in excellent condition.
~ ~ ~
Anyone remember Discreet Logic's Flame with Stone and Wire?
My drives aren't really that great but I'm not getting dropped frames on basic edits at 2k so I'm good with that.
~ ~ ~
The Seasonic looks great. Curiously some labels seem upside down for my installation (fan intake is from bottom).
~ ~ ~
A full tower case! the Fractal XL R2 looks good, it's big and the price is good. I found the edges were smooth and didn't hurt my hands. I left the fans on low to keep the noise down.
This case is very nice but I'm not sure about the start/restart buttons because when I pulled out a usb from the front I/O panel I turned off my computer inadvertently. I'm more careful now and haven't had any problems.
I got this case from NCIX during the Vancouver transport strike - so I put the parts onto a piece of wood while I waited. When the case finally arrived the box was damaged but the case itself seemed fine - as it turns out one bottom thumbscrew got a bit bent. I simply pushed it back out - I suppose it is fine if it works. And it does.

Although I prefer typing on mechanical keyboards I wanted an affordable back-lit chiclet style full sized standard layout keyboard.
Having a back-lit keyboard when color grading is really nice IMHO. And the Perrix keyboard I got from Amazon is great value if it works as expected.
Zowie FK mouse is ambidextrous which is nice since I'm left handed. I like how this mouse feels in my hand. I like the quick switch dpi. And it has extra buttons for the thumb (which I never use).
I also have an old A4 walcom pen.

Thanks for reading and happy building ...

Coronation Street actor Daniel Brocklebank has said he was left "black and blue" after being locked inside a car boot for dramatic scenes in the soap, but that filming them was "a ball".
The actor's alter ego Billy Mayhew is forced to drink bottles of vodka and locked into the boot by Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne), after he finds out Billy was involved in the death of his twin sister Susan.
Brocklebank, 37, said he was "black and bloody blue" when they wrapped the scenes, but added: "I've never been bundled into the boot of a car before, but it was surprisingly comfortable! It was great.
"This particular storyline, predominately during my time here it's been dialogue-led performance, whereas this is much more physical."
The actor said he was in there "a couple of days", adding: "I just lay there and people would check on me occasionally and offer me a brew."
Brocklebank shot all of the scenes himself instead of using a stunt double and said he and Gascoyne had fun working through the gripping plot.
"We have had such a laugh – we have pissed ourselves laughing constantly," he said.
"It's not dark – I think it's more dramatic and emotion led.
"It's certainly not anywhere near in terms of the darkness we have seen recently with Phelan and Andy's story. It's not going anywhere in that direction."
"As dramatic as the scenes were, we had a ball shooting them," he said.

By RACHEL ZOLL
AP Religion Writer
As the leader of two American dioceses, Roman Catholic Bishop Blase Cupich has staked out a firm position in the middle of the road.
He has spoken out against same-sex marriage and against conservative hostility toward gay rights advocates. He has opposed abortion, while urging parishioners and priests to have patience, not disdain, for those who disagree. And he has criticized fellow U.S. bishops who threatened to shut down religious charities instead of pursuing a compromise with the White House over health care policies that go against Catholic teaching.
On Saturday, Pope Francis named Cupich as the next archbishop of Chicago, sending a strong signal about the direction that the pontiff is taking the church. Cupich will succeed Cardinal Francis George, 77, an aggressive defender of orthodoxy who once said he expected his successors in Chicago to be martyred in the face of hostility toward Christianity.
"I think what Francis is trying to do with his appointments in both the United States and around the world is to moderate the conversation and get us past the culture wars and the ideologues," said Christopher Bellitto, a church historian at Kean University in New Jersey. "Francis is not trying to balance a lurch to the right with a lurch to the left. He's trying to build up the big middle so we can have conversations and not arguments."
The Chicago appointment is Francis' first major mark on American Catholic leadership.
A native of Omaha, Nebraska, and one of nine children, the 65-year-old Cupich has served in a wide range of roles within the church.
He has been a parish pastor, a high school instructor and president of a seminary. After earning degrees in the U.S. and in Rome, he worked at the papal embassy in Washington, and as a bishop, has led several committees for the U.S. bishops' conference. For a few years, he led the bishops' committee on the child protection reforms adopted amid the clergy sex abuse scandal.
In his current posting as head of the Diocese of Spokane, Washington, Cupich inherited the fallout from a previous bishop's decision to seek bankruptcy protection over sex abuse claims. He started a mediation effort that has drawn praise from local attorneys for victims.
At a news conference Saturday in Chicago, he cited his family's immigrant history — his four grandparents were from Croatia — in a call for immigration reform. "Every day we delay is a day too long," he said. As bishop in Rapid City, South Dakota, starting in 1998, then in Spokane, he has worked extensively with immigrant and Native American communities. About 44 percent of parishioners in the Chicago archdiocese are Latino.
Cupich first became a bishop as the American church leadership began taking a more combative approach to culture war issues, under St. John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. Yet, he struck a tone that reflects what Francis has emphasized for the church: a focus on mercy over hot-button policies that the pope says has driven away Catholics.

Are there comments at the beginning giving your name and email address and outlining the purpose of the program?
Does the program work correctly?
If the program requires input, are there interactive prompts explaining what input is required?
Is the program organized by being broken up into methods?
Does each method have a logical purpose, well documented with comments?
Does the code have a sensible, consistent indentation structure described in class so that it can be easily understood? For example a
loop to print a name and an occupation 10 times should look like:
for (int j=0; j<=9; j++) { System.out.printline( name ); System.out.printline( occupation ); }
with the "{" and "}" lined up, the "{" being on the same line as the first statement in the body of the loop, and the "}" on a line by itself.
Are the variable names chosen to help the reader understand the program?
Does the program satisfy all the requirements of the assignment?
Have you tested the program on many different choices of input, to try to see if it works in all situations?
Were you careful about where you declared your variables? Remember that variables declared either at the top of the class (before the methods) or the bottom of the class are
and accessible to all methods. They are called
instance variables
. Generally, declare variables
when possible. This means that a variable needed only by one method should be declared inside that method, so it is
to that method.

What's really necessary?
Sugar ~ 7 cups
Sure Gel pectin ~ 1 box
You'll need a big deep pot. This is my stainless steel wok. It's the perfect size. You can use any deep pot that holds at least 5-6 quarts.
Laura that jam looks perfectly yummy, wish I could join you to sample it with a gorgeous big scone. You enjoy Laura, great post as always, love your blog
Lots of love
Hi Dorothy,
I've never made a scone before. Maybe I'll have to try one.
Blessings to you,
Yum and Aldi's has strawberries for 99 cents a box now! I tried to leave a comment yesterday and it wouldn't let me??ReplyDelete

Laura, I am making strawberry jam for the first time in about three years. There won't be any pectin in it this time just berries and sugar. Thanks so much for sharing and joining me at my HOME. Happy Summer!
Well, I think your jam looks very nice! Jam making is very easy and I love to see all my fruit packed into those little jars. As a matter of fact I have been canning for 2 weeks now. I just made some Cherry Syrup for my hubby for Father's Day. My mom in law and I just made Strawberry-Rhubarb, Currant and Plum jelly. And they all turned out yummy and beautiful... I'll be posting photos here soon, you'll have to stop by and check them out.
I hope you share photos on your kiwi jam. Have you ever made it before? Is it sweet?
Have a great week!
The trouble is when local berries are in I just keep eating them fresh and never get around to the jam, lol...though I did make a cobbler the other day with them and peaches. Your photos and examples are Great! :) You have me all inspired to maybe do this after all.ReplyDelete
Hi Sue,
I'm not sure what was going on with the comments. I just turned off the word verification box. I'm going to try to just moderate comments. As long as I don't get too much spam, I'll keep it that way.
I got these strawberries for $.99 a box at Wal-Mart with ad match. I haven't checked out Aldi's ad for this week yet.
Blessings to you Friend Sue!
Hi Debra,
I've never tried a strawberry cobbler. These strawberries were so good, we ate a lot of them.
Do you have a blog?
Oh, you'll have to let me know how your jam comes out. If it's good, I hope you'll share the recipe. I'd love to save a little money when I make jam.
Blessings to you,
Oops, deleted this by mistake. I contacted Bernideen and made it right. ~smile~
Here's Bernideen's comment:
"I haven't canned strawberry jam for years but look forward to doing
so in retirement! We will be retiring in the not to far off future in Columbia, Missouri.
Your jam looks wonderful - enjoy the fruit of YOUR labor!"

Thanks for your kind comments, Bernideen. It will be good to welcome you to Missouri.
Someday I am going to be brave and make jam! But first I might need to find a friend with experience to do it with me. Thanks so much for visiting Inking the Heart. Your links back here will encourage me to try new things. Blessings, RachaelReplyDelete
Hi Rachael,
I'll bet there are you tube videos to teach you. I just followed the directions on the Sure Gel box. My fruit floats to the top. I've got to figure out why.
Strawberry jam is a favorite in our house. I just made a batch a few weeks ago and it's already gone. Thanks for sharing at Fluster Buster's Creative Muster!
Robin @ Fluster Buster
Hi Robin,
I looked yesterday and two jars were already eaten! They eat so much more homemade than store bought. ~smile~
Blessings to you,

I've made Strawberry Freezer Jam the last couple of years and we are so in luv with it. Sooo simple to make.
Your jam looks really good.
Over from Mrs. Olsons
Hi BJ,
I tried making freezer jam, but it always came out runny for me. I decided to make regular cooked jam and find we like it better.
I do have one problem, my berries want to rise to the top. I need to find someone who knows what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas?
Thanks for talking back!
Hi Laura, I love homemade jam! I just made raspberry. Still have a few strawberry left from last year. I make the easy freezer method. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
Hi Jann,
I made blackberry jelly last week for the first time. A friend found blackberries on the church property. One jar for the pastor. ~smile~
Blessings to you,
I need to try this! I have some of our strawberries frozen from this year. Thanks for joining Home Sweet Home!ReplyDelete
I've never made aim before, but this look doable ~ and delicious! Thanks!ReplyDelete
If I can do it, you can do it, Kim. ~blessings~ReplyDelete
I love making jam! Raspberry is my favorite, but I make strawberry as well. Makes the house smell so yummy when you are making it! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
Hi Jann,
Fruits are cheap at Aldi this week, but I just don't have time to make jam right now. Bummer!
Have a great week!
Thanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY!!!
You're welcome Cindy. Be blessed!Delete
Thank you for praying for me! I have the best blog friends in the world! Yes! You!
I read all your comments and respond as I can right now.
Please make sure I have your email if you want me to respond or pray for you.
God bless you all! This life only works with Jesus. The next life is a continuation of this one—make sure you spend it with Jesus. Jesus is the only way to God the Father!

The Capitals and Rangers are set to meet in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the fourth time in five seasons, and while it may not seem like it on the surface, the more things stay the same, the more they actually change.
In each of the last three series against the Rangers, the Capitals have had a different head coach who has employed a different system. In 2011, Bruce Boudreau utilized a buttoned-down defensive system that was far less risky compared to his original freewheeling style. In 2012, Dale Hunter's more nuanced defense-first philosophy that relied heavily on blocking shots was on display.
This season, the Capitals will play under the balanced, yet aggressive pressure-based system of Adam Oates, one that led them to great success over the latter half of the season. Once the players grew accustomed to it, they took off, winning 15 of their last 19 games en route to clinching the Southeast Division championship for the fifth time in six years.
Washington has certainly reaped the rewards of Oates's system, as did New Jersey last season, where he was an assistant coach. Under the tutelage of Oates and Coach Peter DeBoer, the Devils -- who, like the Capitals, underwent growing pains as they attempted to learn the system -- defeated the Rangers -- who eliminated the Capitals in the Eastern Conference semifinals -- in the Eastern Conference finals before falling short in six games in the Stanley Cup Final.
Knowing that there is concrete proof that their coach's style of play can lead to postseason success has left the Capitals feeling even more confident.
"We have confidence in our system," forward Troy Brouwer said. "Going forward here, we've seen what New Jersey was able to do with last season and that even gives us a little bit more enthusiasm about it.
"He brought over that system -- or the majority of that system -- to us. And it took us a little while to embrace it, but once we did, we're playing really well right now."
Oates said Monday that he plans on showing the Capitals "a little bit of everything" as they prepare for Game 1 Thursday. Of course, as several players noted, these are different teams in different years, but even so, Oates and his philosophy remain constant.
"It's important that we have a coach that's been in that position and been in a Stanley Cup Final," forward Alex Ovechkin said. "He knows how to go there. We just have to listen to him and do exactly what we have to."

About Vieville abstract paintings
Abstract art, abstract painting, transfiguration occurs with random strokes or a balance of form born of chance and deliberate graphics. Form emerges, colours take their place, graphics are added to the canvas after careful consideration. Jean-Pierre VIEVILLE is in constant quest of balance. Balance, for the artist, is the keyword. Chance/deliberation, form/graphics, conformism/anarchy. His innermost wish is not to find that balance, but to maintain the momentum required to achieve it. To find that balance would be to end up imprisoned in a tiresome cliché. Constantly, the artist deliberates between an overload of form and an overload of graphics, too much variety and too much unity, between the desire to break out of the canvas and the need to create a commotion on its surface, hence the perpetual search made through movement, or, in other words, the deliberate momentum. Lines circulate, shades harmonise, precision stabilises and yet the eye does not grow weary. Once stimulated, questing, it finds the answer to its question, an answer supplied by emotion. Often inspired by nature's minerality, the artist's works come alive and drag the onlooker along paths of which he, himself, is yet unaware.

Abstract painter, My life begins with the drawing, then I become a model and commercial photographer. During this time I paint a dilettante. In the 80 years that I plan art as a means of response to my "inner necessity". From the standpoint of engineering practice, I found in the literature and the works of masters, most of the bases relevant to my artistic expression. In terms of emotion, and it's my sense the true source of abstract painting, I use my aesthetic feelings before everything comes to me. "I look in the chance that touches me, I appropriate it and then proposes. The random factors have not been crucial for you to read this sentence. Abstract artist

Introduction: LED Binary Clock 2.0
You might remember my first version of the LED binary clock (1.0);
This version was intended as a gift, so it's in a few contests like the Holiday Gifts challenge. Please, if you like it, feel free to comment, rate it (according to what you think it deserves) and please, please vote for me.
In that guide I stated that there would be a future version of the clock with some funcionality additions along with a much neater and cleaner design, well, this is it.
BTW, please like me on facebook.
UPDATE: Winner from mini contest ANNOUNCED! Congratulations to Goalie1, who won a 3 month pro membership simply for being my subscriber.
Don't worry if you didn't win this time, i'll be running many more contests like this periodically, some with even 1 Year Pro Memberships!, so stay tuned and always remember to check my new 'ibles.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: So, What Will I Need?
For the circuit you'll need;
- 13x LEDs, color of your choice.
- 13x Cheap LEDs, color doesn't matter, as these will be used only for testing.
- 13x matching resistors to apropiately drive your LEDs at 5 volts (you can calculate the value here).
- 1x Atmega328 with the Arduino Bootloader (you can use an atmega8 or 168 aswel)
- 1x 39x39 holes breadbord style PCB.
- 1x P-channel MOSFET
- 1x 16Mhz crystal+ caps (22pf)
- 1x LM7805
- 2x 100nf caps (104)
- 2x 220uf caps
- 1x Screw terminal
- 1x WallWart 7.5 to 12 volts out.
- 2 pieces of plywood of about 20x20 CM or about 8x8 inches.
- Wood glue. (any brand will do the job)
- linseed oil.
For the circuit;
- Soldering iron.
- solder sucker/solder whick
- (optional) helping hands
- Dremel (if your PCB is too big and you need to cut it to size)
- An Arduino or an FTDI breakout board to program the chip.
For the wooden body (if you're making it as mine);
- A Milling machine
- Some clamps
- Something heavy to keep both pieces of plywood together while the glue cures.
- Table saw/circular saw to cut the plywood to size.
- A caliper
- A pencil
Step 2: Let's Begin!
First off, you'll need to plan your layout of the circuit according to what you have, I has a 40X50 holes Breadboard style PCB so my layout acomodates to this. but yo can make it however you want, bigger, smaller, same size, etc, or break with the square design and make it rectangular.
Although not necessary, I EXTREMELY recommend you to print some Arduino compatible stickers for the Atmega chip so you can easily know where are you connecting what and you don't need to keep going back to the datasheet.
In my case, the LEDs were placed 12 holes away from each other to fill the PCB I had.
what you first need to decide is where are your LEDs gonna be, after that, decide where are your Atmega328 chip and power supply going to be.
The schematic above shows (on top of the resistors) the pin number of the chip to where that LED needs to connect, but this is now important, as you can super-easily map it in the code using the coordinates of each LED (shown below each LED).
The LEDs in the schematic show the ACTUAL places for the LEDs, the RightMost column has 4 LEDs, the next one 3, the net one 4, the next one 2. (Front view)
You just need to make sure that you leave at least 1 Analog input pin for the LDR, 1 PWM pin for the MOSFET and, if you want to be able to program it onboard, leave both RX and TX (pins 0 and 1) free of any components.
REMEMBER that you should solder this LEDs with the leads bet as little as posibe, as these will not be the final LEDs, this are just for testing and for the layout process.
Step 3: Add Some Wires
Add the wires from Each LED to it's Arduino pin, don't worry about connecting them exactly as I did, it's easier to just map it in the code (ill explain this later), so just connect them to the closest pin.
Remember that you are connecting the NEGATIVE leads to the chip.
And remember to add the 16 Mhz crystal and connect it, along with the caps, you could use a 16 Mhz resonator, but I don't recommend it because it is less precise, meaning you will gain or loose time quicker.
Step 4: More Wiring...
Add the MOSFET, wire it as it is shown in the schematic.
Add the 2 pushbuttons for Minute/hour setting.
add some female headers for plugging in the LDR.
(optional) add an FTDI connector so you can program the chip onboard.
Wire the MOSFET and all the connectors/buttons.
Now take your LDR and add 2 long wires to it.
Congratulations! you're done with the board, now it's testing time.
Step 5: Testing Time!
Start by downloading the code below, use the first link if you are using the arduino IDE vesion 1.0, or the link below if you are using an older vesion.
Here's the code for the Arduino.
And here it is for older vesions of the Arduino IDE.
Step 6: Mapping the LEDs
Here's the beginning of the Arduino sketch:
#define AA 10
#define AB 9
#define AC 8
#define AD 7
#define BA 11
#define BB 13
#define BC 5
#define BD 6
#define CA 12
#define CB 15
#define CC 4
#define DA 14
#define DC 2
#define MOSFET 3
#define LDR 19
#define MinButton 17
#define HourButton 16
#define ModeSwitch 18
To make your clock work properly, you'll need to tell the Arduino where each thing is connected.
Simply write the pin where each LED is connected (using the coordinates in the schematic to see what letter combination corresponds to each LED and checking with your Arduino compatible sticker what pin is that).
Here is a higher resolution version of the schematic.
Then do the same for the LDR, the buttons and the switch/jumper used for the 12/24 hour mode selection.
NOTE: that you need to use the digital number for the analog input pins, this corresponds as follows: analog inputs 1-5 = digital outputs 14-19. you need to use that version of the number for the LDR aswell!
After you finish the mapping, Upload the code to the chip and test it as I do in the video (but remember that you are doing it BEFORE you go to further steps, contrary to what I did).
Step 7: Now to Make the Wooden Body.
First, you need to glue together the 2 pices of plywood to form a single, thicker piece.
Start by applying glue to the first one as shown in the picture.
Step 8: Sandwiching.
Now place the other piece on top.
Step 9:
Now clamp it along the sides to ensure it says aligned and then place a heavy object on top of the sandwich to ensure the glue goes evenly flat.
Remember to place another piece of wood between the sandwich and the heavy object so it doesn't damage the surface.
Let it sit for at least 5 hours, depending of the glue you are using.
Step 10: Chop Chop...
Now cut the plywood to the size you want it to be (leave it about 3 millimeters bigger to clean off the other sides).
Check that the circuit will fit in and that there will be enough wall left after milling to ensure it doesn't break/drill the wall mounting hole.
Step 11: Clean the Other Sides
Set the saw to the exact size you want your clock and cut the other 2 sides of it (the ones we DIDN'T cut), this is done to clean the edge from any glue that might have cameout on the edges.
Step 12: Mark Your Plywood.
Step 13: Remove All That Wood.
Step 14: Mark Your Holes
Mark a 4x4 grid with the proper spacing depending of the size you built your circuit and check to see if it aligns with the LEDs.
Use a soft pencil and DON'T apply pressure or else, marks will be left in your wood even after sanding.
Step 15: Centers...
Mark the center of the holes you ARE going to drill, remember we're only using 13 LEDs, not 16. you can refer to the schematic to see where you need those holes. This is done so that the drill bit goes straight into the center and all your holes are aligned.
You can use a screwdriver and a hammer if you don't have one of those special pointy things.
Step 16: Drill 'em All
Well, just drill all 13 holes.
Step 17: Drill the 2 Remaining Holes.
And drill a small hole on the top for the LDR, in most cases this will be about 5mm.
Step 18: Sanding
Sand all the edges, front, back, and inside too. make sure to sand the front enough so that the pencil markings disappear.
Step 19: Apply Linseed Oil
apply linseed oil on ALL surfaces and let it sit so the wood absorbs it.
Step 20: Start Assembling
Place all the LEDs, I recommend you to test all the LEDs BEFORE you tug them in, or you won't be able to replace them.
Step 21: Fix Them in Place
Add a tiny blob of glue to each LED so it stays firmly in place, don't add glue to the leads.
Step 22: LDR
Put the light dependent resistor in place, you remembered to drill that hole, right? and to add 2 long wires to it, right?
Step 23: Black
Paint the inside black, this is mainly to prevent Ghosting on the LEDs.
Step 24: Ghosting, You Say?
Yes, this means that, when some LEDs light up, others may seem to light up aswel, but dimmer.
Well, there's many possible causes for this effect, but on this case it's simple reflection of the light inside the clock. depending on your LEDs, this might not happen.
Step 25: Removing the LEDs
Remove the old LEDs from the board to get it ready for the new ones.
Step 26: More Drilling.
Mark, on the back of your PCB, where the old LEDs were and drill some insanely big holes for the new LEDs to fit in, I originally tried to to this with the original holes, but I then realized that it is almost impossible to get 26 leads to align with that level of precision to go into the holes all at once.
Step 27: Drop It In
Drop the PCB in place, making sure that ALL the leads went thru.
Step 28: Clean the Leads
before we solder those leads in place, we need to clean the black paint from them, so add some pieces of paper to the inner walls to prevent that paint from being cleaned, grab a piece of cloth and apply some paint thinner or acetone to it, then clean all the leads and make sure no paint stays behind.
Step 29: Solder
Now you can bend those leads and solder them in place, also solder the LDR and trim the leads.
Step 30: Black... Again.
Now mask the buttons, headers and power terminal with some sticky tape and paint it all black again, this is to make it look neater.
Step 31: Remove the Maskings
After the paint has dried, remove the sticky tape.
Step 32: Test It.
Step 33: Hang It an Enjoy OR...
Hang it on the wall or place it on your desk and enjoy...
Step 34: Wrap It Up and Give It As a Present

Awesome points for liking Disturbed, too.
how do you read a binary clock?
Hey great project! I think I'm going to attempt to build this, however I have a few questions about it. First, I noticed you added pushbuttons later in the steps, but they're not on the "main" list of required things. Is there anything else that you need that is not on the main list? Also I was hoping you might beable to point me in the right direction as for where to find a wallwart like the one you used. Thanks for the great project guide btw!
is there a way to make it without microchip?
Not really, it is the brains of it; it keeps the time and shines the corresponding LEDs, I see no other possible solution, sorry. But it is based in Arduino, which is a great microcontroller for beginers since it has tons of community, examples and documentation.
Great project. But is there also a conversion-table for the binary-disabled? Otherwise they don't know what time it is.
That's another feature, you can be the only one to know the current time!
WOW! this is sooo cool!
Nice version
Very elegant, a carpenter is necessary more than an electronic... but a beautiful idea. Thanks for sharing

Maestro Vallet's symphonic work includes regular appearances with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London; the Camerata Royal in Bucharest; the Filarmonica Brasov in Romania, the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra; the National Philharmonic of Chisinau, Moldova; the Spoleto Festival USA; the St. Hughes Concert Series in Miami and the Greenwich Village Orchestra in New York.
To celebrate Beethoven's year during the season 19-20, he will lead the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in the complete piano concertos by Beethoven performed by Elizabeth Sombart and the last ten symphonies by Mozart, at Cadogan Hall, London.
He has recorded two CDs with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Elizabeth Sombart: the Chopin piano concertos, and a collection of Favorite Adagios of piano concertos released in the spring of 2017. For Albany Records, he recorded the opera Cendrillon by Nicolò Isouard that he helped restore to its original 1810 version. In July he will record the complete piano concertos by Beethoven with Elizabeth Sombart and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Vallet is a long-serving member of the Metropolitan Opera, first as a pianist and coach and later joining the roster of staff conductors.
He has enjoyed a long-term musical partnership with Seiji Ozawa, working closely together on some fifty operatic productions and oratorios throughout Japan, the US and Europe, encompassing a large and diverse repertoire.
As chorus master, he has prepared the New York Choral Artists in Joan at the Stake by Honegger for the New York Philharmonic conducted by Alan Gilbert. He prepared the SKF Matsumoto Choir and the Ritsuyukai Choir for Britten's War Requiem (Saito Kinen Festival Orchestra at Carnegie Hall), the Tokyo Opera Singers for La Damnation de Faust, and Beethoven's 9th Symphony conducted by Seiji Ozawa at the Saito Kinen Festival. He has also appeared as conductor and lecturer at the choral festival Tokyo Cantat.
As a pianist, he has performed in duo recitals in both the US and Europe with some of the world's most renowned singers, including Natalie Dessay, Maria Guleghina, Ying Huang, Denyce Graves (at the White House) and Dmitri Hvorostovsky.
