What is the difference between the original UC32 (now retired) and the UC32 REV B (and what is the difference - I'm at work don't have my board in front of me)? Thanks, BillyBoy
programming uC32 in pure C
brunomaximom posted a question in Digilent Microcontroller BoardsHello, I'd like to know if it's possible to program chipKIT uC32 in pure C using MPLAB X IDE? Is there a licensed debugger I must to choose when creating MPLAB project? Thanks.
Buffered UART TX with interrupts on uC32
peter64 posted a question in Digilent Microcontroller BoardsHello, I was hoping to use your uC32 board to control 4 stepper motor drivers and to provide debug information over serial back to a PC. Unfortunately though the UART routine implemented in HardwareSerial only has a buffered RX implementation and not a buffered TX implementation. This means that at lower baud rates or with larger debug payloads the time to send the data into the serial line can take a rather long time. I looked around online and I can't find any pre-built libraries that implement an IRQ based UART TX Buffer on the PIC32 that would be compatible with the framework supplied by chipkit. I found one but it's based on entirely different compiler and set of libraries so doesn't appear compatible. http://phoenix-mindgame.blogspot.com/2014/09/pic32-uart-transmission-using-tx.html The regular core arduino HardwareSerial library was updated at some point to support a TX buffer, would diligent consider updating the HardwareSerial implementation that comes with chipkit for the uC32 to also support a TX buffer? UPDATE: I managed to implement a TX buffer without too much difficulty, not sure how robust it is though, this fixed my issue by eliminating blocking serial writes. This might be a useful feature improvement you would consider for the future.
analogRead functionality for chipkit uC32
andrewkhardy posted a question in Digilent Microcontroller BoardsHello and thanks for taking the time to read my question. I'm hoping to use the ADC functionality of the chipkituC32 but I have some questions. As I understand it, when I write the command Input = analogRead(A3) I should get an interger number 1023 /3.3 = x . However when I have no input into the A3 port, I get the constant number 788. How do I do the correct conversion? When I was sending in a DC voltage of 2 V I was getting alternating numbers between 600 and 1023 which make no sense. Also, I cannot find in the datasheet, what is the frequency to read in a signal? I found somewhere online that it was only 10kHz. That seems incredibly low. IS the read frequency for digital signals higher? If I have a separate ADC and send a digital signal could I speed this up? Thanks again
ChipKit uc32 and Analog Shield
TCTeis posted a question in Digilent Microcontroller BoardsHello, i am having trouble using the chipkit uc32 together with the analog shield here : https://store.digilentinc.com/analog-shield-high-performance-add-on-board-for-the-arduino-uno-retired/ When i connect the Shield to my Arduino UNO one samples needs about 10 microseconds witch should be right. Instead if i connect it to the chipKit uc32 it takes about a 150 microseconds. I guess the SPI communication is not working properly but i dont know why. Since i dont know wether the board is the retired version or the newest i thought it might not work if its the old one. Did anybody else have a similar problem or is there a way to find out wether my uc32 is the old or new revision. Thx in advance Edit: I solved the problem. Instead of using the Arduino IDE i switched to MPIDE. Now it works with a sample rate of 1sample / 25 microseconds. There might be a problem with the Additional Board Manager URL for the Arduino IDE. I might take a look at it if i have the time.
chipkit-core Issue with BNO055 sensor on uC32 via I2C
Aaron posted a question in Digilent Microcontroller BoardsGood evening! I am trying to use an Adafruit BNO055 breakout board with a ChipKit uC32 board, but there's some kind of underlying bug causing the initialization code to fail. I've tracked it down to how the reset of the BNO055 is happening, but I've hit a wall at how to go deeper. Any advice would be welcome. Hardware used: Adafruit Feather Bluefruit LE Digilent ChipKit uC32 Adafruit BNO055 orientation board breakout Breadboard, wires, etc. Photos of hardware setup attached. To start, I tested using the BNO055 and the Adafruit sensorapi example sketch on an Adafruit Bluefruit LE via the I2C connection. This worked just fine. I've used it for other projects in the past, so that's old hat: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-feather-32u4-bluefruit-le/overview https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-bno055-absolute-orientation-sensor/overview Then, when I first tested the uC32 with the normal ChipKit-core distribution found via the ChipKit-core url, the I2C implementation was broken. None of the 3 different I2C sensors I had worked. After following the instructions to update ChipKit-core to 1.1.0-13 to fix I2C bug, as suggested below, I as able to connect to devices via I2C: http://chipkit.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3585 http://chipkitjenkins.wayneandlayne.com/job/chipKIT-core%20PR%20Builder/77/ Note: I did set JP6 and JP8 to enable the I2C interface on the uC32. Tested ChipKit uC32 using the I2C interfaces on the Adafruit BME280 and Si1145 breakout boards. Both worked just fine. Data was read and written properly. Unfortunately, when connecting the BNO055 orientation board from here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-bno055-absolute-orientation-sensor/overview The board is recognized (by the device ID of 0xA0), but then the ChipKit uC32 hangs after first println in the sensorapi example sketch. It goes into the bno.begin() call and never returns. Since I can't do any deeper debugging in the main library, I copied out the BNO055 library (called it C_BNO055) and built against my version. Started with no changes other than the name of the library, include guards, and filenames. Worked just fine on Bluefruit LE, but exhibited the same issues on the uC32. My source code for the library modified for testing is attached to this post. I had combined the three breakout boards into a single program. This worked just fine on the Bleufruit LE, and it accessed all three sensors without issue, but the same bno.begin() call would hang everything. So, I stripped out the other sensors and tested with debugging messages in my custom bno.begin() definition found in C_BNO055.cpp. The code executes until the first BNO055 reset is attempted. Writing 0x20 to the BNO055_SYS_TRIGGER_ADDR resets the sensor. This loop then waits for the device to return 0xA0 for the chip ID, which indicates that it's ready to be used again. Serial.println(" [x] Doing a reset and waiting for the address to stabilize."); write8(BNO055_SYS_TRIGGER_ADDR, 0x20); while (read8(BNO055_CHIP_ID_ADDR) != BNO055_ID) { Serial.print(" [x] Waiting for BNO055 to reset. ADDR of: "); Serial.println(read8(BNO055_CHIP_ID_ADDR), HEX); delay(10); } delay(50); Serial.print(" [x] BNO055 address is now: "); Serial.println(read8(BNO055_CHIP_ID_ADDR), HEX); That loop runs about 8 times (see attached screenshot) for the ChipKit uC32, then just stops. Every read it gets an ID of 0x00 (zero). When the same code is run on the Bluefruit LE, it gets an ID of 0xFF until the board resets (see attached screenshot). Then it gets 0xA0 like it should and continues execution, and my larger program is able to read/write to the BNO055 and other sensors on the same I2C bus. I believe there's some kind of issue in the ChipKit-core implementation for I2C that's being exposed by the series of calls leading up to the reset of the BNO055 board. I'm not sure how to proceed at debugging or testing the system. Any advice or investigation would be welcome. I have: Changed the I2C address of the BNO055 by connecting the ADR pin to Vcc and changing the address in the .h file. Worked for Bluefruit, not for uC32. Commented out that address check and added in a delay(300) call. While the code progressed, it crashed when trying to access other I2C devices in loop(). Tried a similar test on a ChipKit MX3ck board with the same results. I've tried re-wiring the board/jumpers and testing my solder joints. I'm trying to get this board working on the uC32 as part of the sensor package we're building for the WSU Aerospace Club's rocket. If you'd like me to bring my hardware for testing to Digilent, just let me know via email and I'd gladly cross town to get some help. Thank you for your time. -- Aaron Crandall
Maximum Safe Current for UC32 Digital Pins
Nick_Ashley posted a question in Digilent Microcontroller BoardsDear Digilent Support Staff,I'm a graduate student at the University of Arizona, and for my Master's Project, I'm designing an irrigation process control system. I'm using a Digilent UC32 microcontroller to read whether or not a switch from a relay contact from a flow meter is either open or closed. I will be using a 5 V power supply, and have read that the digital input pins on the Digilent UC32 can handle 5V at logic levels. I have a few questions: What is the maximum current that is safe for the UC32's digital pins to handle? Do the digital pins have a built-in resistor that will limit the current draw, or do I need to use a voltage divider for this? What is the minimum current that the UC32's digital pins can take accurate HIGH/LOW input readings at, from a 5V power source? Best Regards, Nick
PmodIA on chipKIT UC32 issue
kayemgray posted a question in Add-on BoardsI have been trying to get the pmodIA working with the chipKIT uC32 using MPIDE 0150. After hooking the I2C pins on the pmodIA to the uC32's dedicated I2C pins on J11, Vcc to 5V or 3.3V, etc. , successfully uploading the example sketch to the board and running the IA_Test() function, the session fails to proceed upon trying to interact the pmodIA. I downloaded and installed the associated libraries and such about a week ago. Here is what I've been getting on the serial monitor: PmodIA Demo Press 'r' when ready!! IN test 128 Then nothing else happens, presumably due to the code trying to execute the setRegisterPointer(uint8_t RegAddress) function which I think is the first part involving communication with the pmodIA. Has anyone else been having this issue or has anyone been able to get the two devices communicating? Any ideas on what might be causing it? Thanks in advance.
Digilent Chipkit Uc32 not recognized by pc
IsaacG posted a question in Digilent Microcontroller BoardsI recently purchased the chipkit UC32 from digilent to do a labview project but when I connect it to my Windows 10 laptop, it says "USB device not recognized".

Any Working TFT with uC32?
mboroff posted a question in Add-on BoardsHas anyone gotten a 40 pin tft to work with a uC32? I have tried two different 40 pin tfts both with and without a shield and failed. I have been attempting to use the UTFT library. Both tfts work ok with shields on an AATAmega256 and a DUE. I am also compiling with MPIDE 0023-windows-20140821. I have heard there are some displays that do work Nokia 5110 and one other. But I feel their resolution is too small a foot print for my project. I'm looking for a minimum of 240x320. If you have a solution please provide links to hardware and software libraries required. Thanks

softwareserial compile errors - all ChipKit boards
Aaron posted a question in Digilent Microcontroller BoardsHello, I have a compile error with the SoftwareSerial library included in ChipKit-core 1.1.0.-18 (the latest released build for manual install at this time).

uc32 GPIO Programming problem
bgetz posted a question in Digilent Microcontroller BoardsI'm very confused as to why I can't get 3 GPIO's to work as desired. I'm trying to program 3 external shift registers. The control lines are Clk, Latch, Output Enable and Data In. I've implemented a ~240Hz timer to cycle between 4 16-bit values to be sent to the shift registers. Everything works except the 3 data inputs. The actual failure is the bit shifting and mask of each of the 16-bits of the 3 data in variables. I'm including my code and an analyzer trace (uc32 pins directly to a Saleae logic analyzer). I'd appreciate anyone that could shed some light. Thanks!

ChipKIT uC32 BootLoader
ltheoret posted a question in Digilent Microcontroller BoardsHi, I was wondering, Since Arduino IDE 1.6.5 with chipkit-core-windows.16778039.v1.0.0-27-gdfa0309 cannot erase the memory of the ChipKit uC32 but the MPIDE can. Is there a way to extract the bootloader version from the ChipKIT? I mean any ChipKIT since I have three flavors in front of me? I do not have a programmer thought. Luc
uC32 Output Compare Timers
djcheezy posted a question in Digilent Microcontroller BoardsHi guys, I'll looking to use 3 of the 5 compare pwm outputs available on the uC32. I would like to use them to generate 3 square waves all around 830Hz. They'll all be fixed frequency from the start of the program. I've seen the sample code in the datasheet, but I think there must be easier higher level functions I can call. I would like to send the output on the OCx pins. Can anyone point me in the direction of some resources for this? I can't seem to get anything out of the OC pins. Thanks, djcheezy
Possible bad uC32
mboroff posted a question in Digilent Microcontroller BoardsI have a uC32 I purchased a month ago from Adafruit. Over the last week I have been unable to get it to work with several tfts that work on Arduinos, with or without a shield. I have exchange several emails with Hemning K. And he can not figure it out. I have also run continuity tests on all pins. Yesterday I receive a wifi shield from you and it fails to scan wifi networks. The http server example reads the ad card but stops on the scan. I did modify the config file for my said and password and changed the security type for pass phrase. Any suggestions you can make on how I debug further?
Need Help locating Vref+ pin on the UC32/IO-Shield
pinnocfa32 posted a question in Digilent Microcontroller BoardsI have had these microcontrollers from Digilent for some time but have never needed the Vref+ pin until now. From my understanding, it should be on the ADC or somewhere near it on the PIC32 pins. I have tried looking through the datasheets and have only found that pin42 on the UC32/IO-shield is the correct pin for the Vref+. I also tried calling and had recieved no help there. Can anyone help me locate the Vref+ pin as I am using this as the reference input to the micro-controller. The board is a PIC32MX340f512h

UART mode on the PmodMAXSONAR
JColvin posted a question in Add-on BoardsHi, How do you get the UART mode on the PmodMAXSONAR to work correctly? While using the provided demo code, I am able to get the PWM and Analog modes to report correct distances, but I seem to be having trouble to get the UART version to work. What pin(s) should I be using? Thanks, James

Is this an autism thing or a boy thing? I wondered.
Five years ago, the first day I put Norrin on the bus I worried. Would he cry? Would he hate the separation? But Norrin didn't cry, he stepped right on without looking back.
I can't go anywhere without a demand to know where I'm going or a plea to come with. "I want to go with mom," he says. He wants to go with me everywhere and be with me all the time. Which is sweet in theory but impossible in practice, considering I work full time outside the home and he goes to school.
My husband, Joseph, has told me that on nights when I work late, Norrin cries for me, constantly asking "when will mama be back?" I'll come home from work and Norrin will run out from his room and say, "Mama you're back. I missed you." I give him a hug and kiss his tear stained cheeks and my heart breaks.
I don't attend many blog conferences but the last few I attended, have been extremely challenging for Norrin. I've talked to him before I leave. Print out calendars with the dates circled. But he cries every day I'm gone and continuously asks when I coming home. And when I return, he requires constant reassurance that I will not "go to the airport again."
It's working mom guilt to the 10 millionth degree.
And then every morning when Joseph drops me off at the train station he urges me to be careful. "Norrin can live the rest of his life without me, it's you that he needs." No pressure, babe. No pressure at all.
I'll be honest, it catches me off guard when I realize how much Norrin loves me. I am amazed how much he misses me when I'm gone. He doesn't draw pictures or make me jewelry or cards to express his feelings. He doesn't even want to hear my voice over the phone. The only way he can express his love for me, is through tears. Sometimes I take the importance of my presence in his life for granted.
The thing is, there isn't a person on this planet who loves me, the way Norrin does. Whatever phase this is, I know it won't last forever. There will come a day when he'll slam his bedroom door as soon as he comes home from school, be embarrassed to be seen with me and refuse to hold my hand in public. So I will enjoy this phase for as long as I can and continue to reassure Norrin that no matter where I am, I am always in his heart. And he is always in mine.

Our Target Population
Committed to the belief that medical challenges developmental disabilities, and special needs should not prevent children from having quality childhood experiences or from reaching their full potential, CRCC opened its first facility in 1990 to serve children with special needs and their families in our community. CRCC provides comprehensive care services and family support to meet the needs of children who are at risk (drug exposed, neglected and abused), medically fragile, developmentally challenged, mental health/behavioral challenged and or enduring conditions that include but are not limited to Cerebral Palsy, Down's Syndrome, feeding and seizure disorders, pre-and post-transplant conditions, spinal injuries, and traumatic brain injuries, and autism spectrum disorders. Services include: Behavioral Health (educational support, outpatient, and family counseling and support), Day Health Services, Rehab Therapy (Occupational, Physical, Speech Pathology, Feeding and Swallowing), Skilled Nursing, Weekend and Saturday Respite, Parent Education/Support Programs and Summer Camp.
Currently serving nearly 600 children birth through 21 years of age, CRCC remains distinctive to our community. It is the only facility offering a full continuum of comprehensive care and services for special populations while providing all children, special needs and typical peers alike, the opportunity to find security, support, and mutual understanding. Setting CRCC apart from other programs and contributing to our growth is the provision of innovative, need driven services without replication. Other programs offer single services, but none include everything key to ultimate success as does ours.

Man, have I mentioned this before?
All that happens in fall is white girls squee at their adorbs new trench and they just can't even over this never ending pumpkin. There are jackets to be worn and blisters to be sprouted from the boots we have to be having but apparently these days we call them booties and we wear them with our ankle pants.
Are those really a thing?
These pants claim to be worth $110. And they are also called ankle pants.
Versus the pants that don't go to your ankles. I assume they are called ankle pants as if to say, hey look, there are my ankles.
My mother had a word for those.
$110 for floods. Probably double for those hooker shoes there.
I digress. Do you SEE what fall does to me??
Desperate to hold on to summer, Jim and I planned a weekend getaway for his birthday. Then some fool set fire to an FAA facility and grounded half the flights in the nation.
So we did this instead.
If that's not clear, we had a bunch of booze, posed outside ugly sculptures, and sucked in our guts while we gleefully smiled in front of a fancy boat.
See that?
It held on for the celebration of Jim.
Thank you summer!
Fall may begin.

Please welcome author Ember Leigh who has a brand new release due tomorrow.
Casey and Carlos
Releasing from Breathless Press on September 12th, 2014.
Casey hasn't seen Carlos in four years, but a business trip brings the ex-lovers together, making them question whether the spark is still really there.
Blurb: Recently divorced, Casey has been longing for a man's touch. So when business brings her back to Carlos, the one that got away, it has to be fate. The four years apart have only done him better, and all she can think about is having his arms, and body, wrapped around hers. But Carlos is not the same man he was four years ago, and Casey too is feeling the weight of too much time gone by. Can Casey help reignite his fire or has time left them behind?
Her breath caught as she followed him up the staircase, tucked to the far side of the house. Carlos had always been fit enough, but it looked like he'd taken up some new form of exercise in the past four years. He was beefier, yet still lean. His ass moved round and tight in front of her as they climbed the stairs. At the landing, he gestured in front of them.
"This is my studio, but it's all yours for tonight."
It was a rec room that took up the whole second floor, and far more standard male than the ground floor alluded to. Movie posters, gaming systems, books scattered on floors and coffee tables, and, off to one side, the trumpet, asleep in a bed of sheet music. In the corner there was an overstuffed couch just about as wide as she was long – it would be great to sleep on, even better if he could bend her over that armrest and fuck her until dinner was ready.
She cleared her throat, deciding adult friendships could be fun, even after four questionable years. "I thought I'd be sharing a bed with you?" She tried to keep her tone playful as she sauntered toward the couch. She tossed him a smile and she caught a glimpse of him looking very stricken. Shit. Too far. Things are too different now. Abort!
Maybe too much time had passed in general. Maybe he was courting a girl and wanted to take it slow with her. Maybe he no longer found her attractive, four years becoming the dagger in the heart. Maybe he'd become celibate, or found her life too normal and boring. There was a whole list of reasons why she shouldn't make the first move.
"I was just joking," she said after a moment, rolling her eyes. "Come on, lighten up."
He exhaled slowly, looking down at the ground as his tongue found the corner of his mouth. "I know it was a joke, Case."
"In case you forgot, we used to share a bed." She looked at him pointedly, already horrified that the words were coming from her lips. What was the getting at? Who had authorized this dialogue?
He squeezed his eyes shut and laughed softly. "Oh, I remember."

Food photography
Food photography is a still life photography genre used to create attractive still life photographs of food. It is a specialization of commercial photography, the products of which are used in advertisements, magazines, packaging, menus or cookbooks. Professional food photography is a collaborative effort, usually involving an art director, a photographer, a food stylist, a prop stylist and their assistants.[1]
In advertising, food photography is often – and sometimes controversially – used to exaggerate the attractiveness or size of the advertised food, notably fast food.[2]
Changing trends[edit]
For a long time, food photographs tended to be shot and composed in a manner similar to the way people were used to encountering their food: laid out on a table setting and shot from an overhead perspective, i.e., from the point of view of the eater.[3] Stylists accordingly arranged the food to appear good from above, with the items arranged flat on the plate and clearly separated from each other.[4]
Later, romantic lighting, shallower angles and more props came en vogue,[3] with extreme cases leading to the term "food porn". Most recently, the prevailing trend in Western commercial food photography is to present the food as simple, clean and naturally as possible and with little props, often using effects such as selective focus, tilted plates, and extreme close-ups.[3] This complements trends in professional cooking to make the food more visually interesting. For instance, the height of dishes tends to increase and their elements are often layered, which lends itself well to narrow-angled shots.[4]
Food stylist[edit]
The role of the food stylist is to make the food look attractive in the finished photograph. The time and effort a stylist takes to carefully and artfully arrange the food, is the cause of differences between the way the stylist presents it and the way a home cook or chef may. Visual know-how is also a requirement, as is the knowledge of how to translate the perception of taste, aroma and appeal that one gets from an actual dish, to a two-dimensional photograph.
Food stylists have culinary training; some are professional chefs or have a background in home economics.[5] In addition to knowledge of nutrition and cooking techniques, food stylists must also be resourceful shoppers.[5] As creative professionals they envision the finished photograph and style the food accordingly.
The process of food photography begins with the purchase of the food and ingredients. Only the most visually perfect foodstuffs are acceptable and multiple backup or test items are usually needed. As a result, purchase of the food and ingredients is a very time-consuming process.[6] The best-looking of the purchased items is selected and marked as the "hero", i.e., the item that will be featured in the photograph.[7] During the setup and for test shoots, it is represented by a cardboard stand-in.[8]
The actual photography can take place in a studio under controlled lighting conditions, or under natural light.[9] The light, background and setting is carefully prepared so as to present the food in as attractive a way as possible without distracting from it. The color and texture of the background is selected so as to effectively complement that of the food and to assist with its lighting.[10]
Styled food is usually marked as inedible and discarded after the shoot, because it may have been handled or treated in ways that make it unsafe for consumption.[11]
Cold beverages[edit]
To create the effect of a thin layer of condensation forming on the outside of glasses containing cold liquid, dulling spray may be applied,[12] with paper or masking tape protecting the non-"frosted" areas. More pronounced condensation and dew drops are imitated by spraying the glass with corn syrup or glycerin.[13]
Ice cubes used in shoots are made of acrylic, so they do not move or melt during the shoot, which may take place under hot studio lighting.[14] Prior to the widespread availability acrylic cubes (starting in the 1970s-80s), glass ice cubes served the same purpose. Fresh-looking bubbles on the surface of drinks are created by applying a mixture of the drink and detergent to the surface with an eyedropper.[15] White glue may be used in lieu of milk,[12] and a mixture of brewed coffee and water instead of tea.[16]
Salads in food photography are composed with a view to creating appealing textures, shapes and colors. To improve support and aid in composition, salad in a bowl is built around a smaller bowl placed inverted in the larger bowl.[17] Salad greens are kept fresh and crisp by misting them with cold water prior to composition.[18] Salad dressing is not normally used, as it makes the salad slippery and difficult to style, but the appearance of dressing may be created by sprinkling herbs and spices over the wet salad, or mixing them in oil and applying it with a brush.[19]
Fruit salads are particularly challenging to shoot because of the short time the fruit pieces, which are cut immediately prior to final photography, retain their appearance.[20] As only the outer layer of the salad is of interest, the concealed interior of the salad bowl may be filled by mashed potatoes or another mixture.[21] Thick or heavy dressings do not photograph well; they are usually thinned and applied by brush.[22]
Hamburgers and sandwiches[edit]
Hamburger photography is challenging because the buns dent easily and an assembled burger is quick to lose its visual appeal.[23] When assembling the burger, the ingredients are held in place with toothpicks and the meaty interior of tomato slices is removed to avoid juice discoloring the ingredients.[24] The meat patties are superficially cooked, the edges browned with a torch and the meat made to look more appetizing with a colorant.[25] The edges of melted cheese slices may be brushed with household cleaner to make them look freshly melted longer.[26] Condiments such as mayonnaise are applied to the edges with an applicator bottle.[27] Steam is normally used to suggest the burger is hot.
Sandwiches are assembled using similar techniques. Wet paper towels are used to prevent the bread from drying out. If a half sandwich is to be depicted, the bread and the components are individually sliced with scissors and assembled in place.[28]

A panel of judges reviewed the long list of submitted videos and narrowed it down to the top 10 Semifinalist videos.

The top five vote-getting teams will win an expenses-paid trip to the 2017 Scripps National Spelling Bee this May 30-June 1, near Washington, D.C.

Shortlist: The Sligachan Hotel
Last, but certainly not least, in our series of nominees for this year's Scottish Field Whisky Bar of the Year award is Seumas' Bar within the Sligachan Hotel on the Isle of Skye.
Having gradually built its stock of malts for the past 20 years to a collection of over 300, Seumas' Bar offers most of its drams on optic, whilst hundreds of whisky boxes can also be seen hanging on display from the bar ceiling. The Sligachan – 'small shells' in Gaelic – also houses the Cuillin micro brewery, which produces four slightly peated ales.

The Andrew Lau Wai Keung directed, Shu Qi, Liu Ye and Tian Liang starred romance BEAUTIFUL LIFE (MEI LAI YUN SUN) yesterday held a set visit in Beijing. Shu Qi appeared in her pregnant look as this pretty pregnant woman in the heat showed homes to clients as a real estate agent. Although her on screen husband Liu Ye was not in the scene, his heart ached just from looking. He even said that this was Shu Qiu's most realistic and most lifelike performance. Shu Qi expressed after reading the script she did not know how to play this character. After communicating with the director several times, she realized that she wanted to play the "female version Lau Wai Keung".
Lau Wai Keung pointed out that two years ago when he made LOOK FOR A STAR (YAU LUNG HEI FUNG), the story of Hong Kong woman Denise Ho Wan Si who fell for Mainland maintenance man Zhang Hanyu was a great inspiration to him. Then he spent two years to personally write the script about a love story between a gold digging Hong Kong woman and a Beijing cop. Lau Wai Keung pointed out that Tian Liang told him about a motto of Fu Mingxia, "Life is like a high platform dive, all the flips and twists you do is so you can land into fortune's embrace." This was very uniform with the BEAUTIFUL LIFE theme. In the film Shu Qi, Liu Ye and Tian Liang were all "diving in love". Shu Qi pointed out when Lau Wai Keung talked about the script, she was so touched that she was teary eyed.
As for the pregnant woman look, Shu Qi expressed that the no make up performance was also her idea. She also played such a character for the first time, a girl who was very unreasonable, opinionated, hysterical and exploded as soon as she had any problem. People hated her from the start. In the film she would even hit Liu Ye, throw tantrums and break things. Liu Ye even had to step on her foot and made her fall backward, thus her elbow suffered bruises. She joked that it was just like making an action film.
Liu Ye and Lau Wai Keung worked together for the first time. In the beginning he had some "misunderstanding" of Director Lau because he had a very hard time connecting the INFERNAL AFFAIRS (MO GAN DOH) and YOUNG AND DANGEROUS (GOO WAT JAI) director with a romance until before the shoot he saw the Lau Wai Keung directed DAISY when he realized the romantic color on Lau Wai Keung. Lau Wai Keung two to three months before the shoot constantly invited Liu Ye to his workshop as a guest, drink red wine and chatted to thoroughly put Liu Ye at ease. He also described his on screen relationship with Shu Qi as "touching".

Things you need to know about Boracay
I just came back from Boracay last month. Not the best month to travel to Boracay but I do have some tips for you all. Hope it helps.
1. Best month to go to Boracay will be the whole year except July and August where it rains almost everyday and most of the activities like cliff jumping and extreme water sports will be closed.
2. Boracay is quite pocket friendly. A 5D4N trip including shopping, food, alcohol, flight and accommodation cost less than RM 2k per person.
3. I'll recommend to go at least 5 days because the travel time is very long. Flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kalibo is around 4 hours, another 3 hours to transit from Kalibo Airport to the Jetty and from Jetty by speedboat to Boracay Island and depends where you stay you might need 10 to 30 minutes to reach your hotel. So overall, 7 hours for travelling. I am using a company called "My Boracay Guide" to arrange the transport. Back and return from Kalibo Airport to our hotel which cost 1400 peso per person. Save you a lot of trouble.
4. Transportation within Boracay Island is by Tricycle. Unless you rented a bike or a bicyle. But tricycle is convenient and cheap as well. Per trip is around 100 to 150 peso if you stay at hilltop like us. But if you are staying along the beach. 100 peso or less. If you are charged 200 peso and above, its cut throat already.
5. Ideal place to stay is at Station 2 where the whole stretch of beach (White Beach) is lining up with malls, restaurants and bar. Night Life as well. We are travelling in a group of 7 so we booked a suite at the hilltop. Our suite is fabulous, minus the location which is a lil bit too troublesome.
6. Food wise is not as impressive as other part of Philippines but do try out their grilled chicken. One of the famous local food in Boracay. Another one will be the calamansi muffin at a coffee cafe called Real Coffee. Located just along the white beach.
7. Theres two main shopping area in Boracay, D'mall and D'talipapa. If you want to buy some souvenirs for your friends, go to D'Talipapa. The price can easily lesser by half. Better deal at D'talipapa. Dried Mango is one of their specialty but it came from Cebu. haha!
8. Activities in Boracay : Water Sports like Scuba Diving (1600 Peso) Helmet diving (700 – 1500 peso) Fly Fish Ride (600 peso) Paraw Sailing (1000 peso), Massage and spa (300-500 peso), Ariel Point Cliff Jumping (1000 peso), ATV rides (800-1000 peso), Sunset Party Cruise Booty, Island Hopping (1500 peso), Cable car and Zipline, Go Kart, Mermaid Course, and of coz Mount Luho, However, most of the activites are best carried out during good weathers. So, pick your travel time wisely.
9. Bar hoping. Theres a lot of bars or places to hangout throughout the beaches. If you want to experience the luxurious, go to The Spider House Resort. If you feel challenging and wanted to try out something dangerous, go to Cocomangas Shooter's Bar (Station 2). They are famous for their 15 shots of liquor. Challenge the 15 shots and if you are still sober, your photo will be put at the Hall of Fame. Hahahhaa. (Too bad we dont have time to do it). Apart from that, Exit bar and Guilly's Island is a good place to chill as well.
10. Try out their freshly cooked seafood. You can buy your own seafood at D'Talipapa wet market and the restaurant around will cook for you. Remember, BARGAIN. Because the price will really shocked you.
11. Dogs are fat and cute in Boracay.
12. Change enough peso or you can get some USD with you. The rate in Boracay money changer is not too good.
13. Beer is cheap. Go ahead
HOWEVER, if you happen to go during the Monsoon season like me, you can still follow our free and easy itinerary. Basically, you cant do much because its raining everyday and all you need to do is to relax and chill and play under the rain. This is our day 1 :
Our flight was 1030am.. after a 4 hours whole journey sleeping flight, we finally arrived in Kalibo Airport. It was 2.30pm by then and after some of them got their sim card at the airport and a waiting time for the transportation arrangement, we are finally set to go! I used My Boracay Guide for the transportation. They are good and efficient. It only cost us like 1400 peso for both ways. No hassle for the troublesome transit anymore!
They even gave us some information booklet but we are only there for 4D3N so we dint even used any of the vouchers or coupons inside.
From Kalibo Airport to Caticlan Jetty is a 90 – 100 minutes drive in the bus. There's nothing to eat at the Kalibo Airport, which means, we had our breakfast at 9am before our flight and we are starving with no food.
The journey from Kalibo Airport to Caticlan Jetty is a beautiful one but as usual, end up everyone slept through it. Hahaha!
It was 4.30 pm when we reached the Jetty. Cant help it so we bought some snacks to munch on and surprisingly, it was so good we bought a few packs back to Malaysia!
They arranged the boat to send us directly to Boracay Island. Duration = 20 minutes.
And finally!! Welcome to Boracay!!! The jetty was located at Station 3, and our villa is at Yapak which is further up a bit from Station 1, means… another half an hour travel time.
Boracay Island is quite a busy place.. so many mini vans picking up and dropping travellers. We waited for another half and hour before we got our arranged mini van. At the mean time..
We spot this little doggy we named it the Mayor because it was loitering at the canopy and just looking at us. So cute!
This is the mini van that took us to the villa. Its fun. And we had a very hardcore but skilful driver it like going on a roller coaster but with style. Hahahaha! I duno how many times we clapped and cheers for his driving skill while doing the cornering. Hahaha!
Hello Boracay!
So somehow we reached our villa at around 630pm. One day gone. And we were all so exhausted to explore the island now. Took our sweet time exploring our villa instead. You will just fall in love with the Villa.
Its a hilltop villa — Diniview Villa. Its a double storey villa with three rooms. Come let me show you.
The reception. Welcome drinks for us after the long and tiring day.
So this is our common area. Where you have a very nice living room, dining room and of coz.. pantry!
So spacious and beautiful. We just cant stop walking around.
And a very big balcony with magnificent view of the island and the sea. Show you in Day 2!
Lower floor consist of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. One of the bathroom is like open concept means you can just walked around the compound while you are showering. Hahaha!
And you are right, we spend our night eating drinking playing card games and just get crazy in our villa!
Emo thing is… the day we arrived is the only day that it dint rain T.T

Creativity is often the cornerstone that separates successful companies from their competitors. Many of these same employers also report happier employees. Studies also show that encouraging creativity in the workplace can attract and retain happier, more productive employees. Establishing a culture of creativity starts at the top level of management and filters to each and every level of the organization. HR professionals are encouraged to work with senior management to implement creativity initiatives that will empower their employees to become successful, happier members that make a difference in their company.
Why is Creativity Important?
Creativity provides both employees and employers with numerous benefits. When employees work in a creative environment, they often experience more control and enjoyment in their jobs. Many will feel great pride in knowing that their ideas are important to their company leaders. This ultimately increases their internal motivation to do a great job, and encourages them to go above and beyond for their employer. Studies show that happier employees will take fewer sick days from work, and become more productive in the office. Employers also reap benefits from this creativity. Employers like Apple who promote creativity are able to stand out as leaders in innovation among their competitors. Their employees will generate more innovative products and product lines, and remain loyal to their company. These employers are better able to retain and attract creative employees, and deliver a product or service of the highest quality.
Implementing a Culture of Creativity
Employers can take small steps towards implementing a culture of creativity throughout their entire organization. Below are some initiatives that can be set in place that will encourage employees to explore their own creativity:
Encourage an Exchange of Ideas
All levels of your organization should be open to ideas to improve company processes. When implementing new procedures, allow employees to voice their opinions on how to improve process efficiency. Since they deal with the day-to-day duties, employees may have great ideas on improving the efficiency of certain procedures.
Set Time Aside for Creativity
Encourage employees to foster their creativity by allowing them some free time to focus on improving their jobs. It can be as little as 10 minutes or up to 30 minutes a day.
Create a Peer Group
Creativity often thrives with the exchange of ideas. Create a peer group in your office that focuses on improving business procedures and products. Many employees will feel more comfortable expressing their ideas in a group versus one-on-one directly to a manager.
Include Creativity as Part of the Employee Review
Many employees will feel more compelled to make time for creativity if they feel it will be measured towards their annual job performance.
Reward Creativity
A great way to encourage creativity is to reward employees for their creative contribution. This can be done through monetary awards, gift cards or awarding days off work.
The Bottom Line
Creativity sets both employees and employers apart from the competition. When employers encourage creativity among their staff, employees will be happier and more productive. HR professionals can encourage creativity by introducing initiatives that focus on the exchange of ideas, peer groups, and rewards.

'Vampire Diaries' Scoop: Klaus Makes Enemies On 'Originals' Backdoor Pilot
Who's out to get Klaus? What's Damon and Stefan's 'plan' for Elena? All will soon be revealed!
Mark your calendars: We're officially three weeks away from the episode of The Vampire Diaries that also serves as the backdoor pilot for The Originals, the purposed spin-off that follows Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and his siblings to New Orleans' French Quarter. The CW just released the official description for the episode, revealing information about the new characters we'll meet down south.
Let's start with Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), a "charismatic vampire" who also happens to be Klaus' former protégé. We learned a little bit about Marcel when Charles was first cast in the role, but now we know that he has "total control over the human and supernatural inhabitants of New Orleans."
So, basically, the protégé has become the master.
But why does Klaus go there in the first place? According to the episode's description, Klaus receives a "mysterious tip that a plot is brewing against him in New Orleans … [so he] makes a trip to the town he and his family helped build."
More Spoilers From 'The Vampire Diaries' Season 4, Episode 20
1. Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) "continue with their plan" for Elena (Nina Dobrev) back in Mystic Falls.
2. Elijah (Daniel Gillies) follows Klaus down to the French Quarter, "determined to help his brother find redemption."
3. Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin), who traveled to the French Quarter "searching for clues to her family history," is discovered to be in the clutches of a "powerful witch" named Sophie (Daniella Pineda).
4. Katherine "reveals a surprising vulnerability" to Rebekah (Claire Holt). She also asks the lady Original "to deliver a message."
HollywoodLifers, what do you make of these new spoilers? What could Katherine's 'vulnerability' be? And what 'plan' do Stefan and Damon have for Elena? Drop a comment with your theories!

Automotive seating and electrical supplier reduced their annual maximum power consumption by 865,440 kWh, the equivalent of removing 100 homes from the power grid for one year.
A Tier 1 automotive seating and electrical supplier was interested in taking advantage of local utility rebate incentives. For their compressed air needs, they had been relying on four compressors manufactured in the 1980s, inherited from a sister plant. Each unit operated in modulation control and was manually switched on and off, leaving the units continually fighting each other, resulting in wasted energy, fluctuating pressure, and increased maintenance costs.
Kaeser performed a complete Kaeser Air Demand Analysis (ADA) to identify the plant's current compressed air needs and to develop a plan for implementing the most energy efficient solution possible. Additionally, Kaeser recommended a Sigma Air Manager (SAM) master controller to properly control the system and ensure the most energy efficient combination of units would be selected to meet current plant demand.
Thanks to better controls and adding an energy efficient variable frequency drive compressor, the customer was able to reduce their annual maximum power consumption by 865,440 kWh - the equivalent of removing 100 homes from the power grid for year -- all without compromising stable system pressure. With the older compressors relegated to back-up, annual maintenance costs have been reduced from $37,000 to $18,000. Less maintenance also means less downtime, for increased productivity.
With service centers nationwide and our 24-hour emergency parts guarantee, Kaeser customers can rely on the best after-sales support in the industry.
From global corporations to intelligent trades businesses; from food production to aerospace: Our customers benefit day in, day out, from the quality, safety, and cost efficiency that a Kaeser compressed air supply brings.
Learn about our development from a machine shop to one of the world's most successful manufacturers of compressed air systems.

Basic tutorial on using the Blank Template here.
Longer, slightly more detailed with more rambling from me tutorial here.
a GZCL Method approach.
Novice lifters can retest training maxes more often than advanced lifters. It is suggested that TM tests not be conducted more frequently than every three weeks, and in that case the lifter should have a relatively young training age. Intermediate and advanced lifters, or lifters struggling with a plateau should delay their TM test for a minimum of nine weeks.
Building Base Volumes
Examples: If form breaks at 15 reps but the lifter pushes to 20, that's a gap of five reps. If form breaks at 93% that's a gap of at least 7%, when considering training max, not limit strength.
For example, if a lifter has a weak lockout on the bench then a good T2 accessory would be the close grip bench press, if weak off the chest long pause benches or wide grip bench are great options. A weakness in the hole during the squat would mean pause squats could benefit the lifter and if their squat weakness were torso collapse then front squats would help remedy the issue. Deadlift weaknesses tend to revolve around poor start positions and lack of strength off the floor. Both of these could be targeted with deficit deadlifting, paused deadlifts, front squats, and more deadlifting in general- because most lifters new to GZCL methodology come from a lack of deadlift volume altogether.
Generally the best T2 movements are something that would make sense if placed in the T1; a common example being the Overhead Press.
The intent of the T2 accessory is to build the T1 main movement. If the accessory differs too much then the risk of unknown transferability is high. Take that for what it's worth. That being said, the T2 is a wonderful place to practice other lift varieties and hone technical abilities. If the lifter is considering switching from conventional to sumo deadlifting a great option is to make the sumo deadlift a T2 movement until their movement proficiency and strength increases with the sumo deadlift. Soon the lifter can opt to make the sumo deadlift their T1 movement and shift conventional pulling to the T2, or disregard it altogether and opt for more sumo pulling as a means to continue practicing and building the sumo deadlift as a priority.
All back work such as pull-ups or row varieties can be T2 options if weighted accordingly. Heavy rows and pull-ups or lat pull downs are great tools for improving general strength that is used across all three lifts. It is for this reason that direct back work is recommended to be paired up with either Bench days (if the T1, aka upper) or Squat and Deadlift days (if the T1, aka lower) this keeps back training frequency high. I have tried both approaches, each with great success. There are logical justifications for either approach, but ultimately the decision rests with the lifter.
Example: EZ Bar Curl
Week 1: A1, B1, A2
Week 2: B2, A1, B1
Week 3: A2, B2, A1
Week 4: B1, A2, B2
Recommended 5RM Testing Approach
Day One
Strength training has been around for hundreds of years and we have fairly accurate documentation on how men in the 1910's (and earlier!) could lift weights that are still impressive to this day. Most "benefits" of modern training principles, programs, equipment, and metrics are in my opinion, a branding tool hardly of any training significance when adjusted to the broad pool of lifters, both competitive and not. Some equipment may benefit one lifter over another, but 800 pound squats can be accomplished without monolifts, bands, chains, or any reference to Bulgarian anything, likewise with Sling Shots and 600 pound benches. Four hundred pounds was put overhead before RPE existed. And there were juggernauts before JTS, Cube, 5/3/1, Westside, and GZCL! Some lifters enjoy these things and implement them with success in their training because it adds to the joy and individualization of their training! The point is much can be done with less and there are infinite ways to skin the cat.
My goal is slowly being realized one lifter at a time as we become stronger one rep at a time.

A look at S.I.C Kiwami Damashii Kamen Rider Agito Trinity Form's articulation design after the previous posting. ^^
Tilting the head upward and downward can be done easily, but the effect is not obvious.
Horizontal tilt is not a problem at all for the head.
The head is separated from the neck piece to reveal the ball-type neck joint.
The neck itself is actually a separate part between the head and chest and can be turned from side to side, but it offers little help to the neck articulation. ^^;
Either shoulder armor doesn't obstruct the upward lift of the arms from their respective side of the body. ^^
Unlike other S.I.C Kiwami Damashii figures like Kamen Rider Blade King Form and Kamen Rider Blade Jack Form, the armor is connected to the edge of the shoulder area via hinge-type joint, thus allowing for greater range of upward lift.
The shoulder joints allow the arms to be swung to the front and to the back.
The ball-hinge combinational shoulder joint connecting either arm to the figure's body.
The upper arm moves separately from the shoulder joint, but there's no separate joint for the forearm to swivel around the elbow.
Compensating for the lack of forearm swivel is a full 180-degree elbow bend. ^^
Restricted ball-type movement for the wrist.
Side-to-side bend is very easy with the upper body.
The upper body can be bent forward and backward.
The upper body is separated from the waist to reveal the large ball-type abdominal joint.
Ball-type joints for the hips.
Pretty wide expansion for the hip joints.
The leg can be lifted forward for a full 90 degrees.
As usual, the leg's backward bend is limited by its buttocks.
The thigh is capable of swiveling around the hip joints.
Like the elbow joint, the knee can be bent for a full 180 degrees.
Wide vertical bending range for the ankle joint via its hinge component.
Either foot can be swivelled from side to side quite flexibly via the ankle joint's straight peg.
Despite its size, S.I.C. Kiwami Damashii Kamen Rider Agito Trinity Form seems just as flexible as a regular-sized action figure with the articulation design as introduced above. ^^ As compared to other action figures from the same series reviewed in the past, such as Kamen Rider Blade King Form and Garo Kiwami Damashii Kiba, the shoulder armor's wide upward lift, 180-degree elbow and knee bends are the most significant boosts to Kamen Rider Agito Trinity Form's posability. Furthermore, the figure also benefits from having fewer bulky armor pieces that may obstruct its's movement.
Then again, I also believe that the improved articulation features comes directly from Kamen Rider Agito's intrinsic design, since the base figure, the weapon-less original Ground Form was designed with high posability in mind to cater for its martial art-oriented action poses. ^^ This Trinity Form is pretty much the same as the original Ground Form but with different arms and two weapons for extra fun. ^^
Supported using Soul Stage Act 4 for Humanoid Clear.
The last posting for this review series, featuring more action poses from this S.I.C Kiwami Damashii action figures is coming up next. ^^

Graduate Distinctions
Honor Societies
CLU School of Management proudly hosts an affiliated chapter of Sigma Beta Delta, a national honor society in business, management and administration. Each year, the most accomplished business graduates, both undergraduate and MBA, are nominated for invitation to join and be recognized by the national organization. Invitations go only to the top achievers in their respective programs and constitute recognition for academic achievement, character, and their high potential for success in their personal and professional lives.
Significance of Hooding
The history of academic dress reaches far back into the early days of the oldest universities. Gowns were worn for warmth in the unheated buildings frequented by medieval scholars. The most outstanding feature of all academic costume, the hood, originally seems to have had three uses: as a head covering, as a shoulder cape, or, when hanging from the shoulder, as a bag in which alms could be collected or provisions carried.
In institutions of higher learning the gown is generally black in color. The style of sleeve denotes the various degrees: the bachelor's degree is signified by full-length pointed sleeves; the sleeves of the master's degree are oblong in shape and extend well below the knee, the arm coming through an opening at the elbow; and the gown of the doctoral degree has bell-shaped sleeves that may be worn open or closed. The gown worn by one retaining a doctorate is additionally distinctive by the facing down front with velvet of the color characteristic of the subject to which the degree pertains; three bars of the same material are found on the sleeve of the gown. Colors associated with different subjects are as follows:
- Doctorate in Educational Leadership: Light Blue
- Doctorate in Clinical Psychology: Gold
- Master of Arts: White
- Curriculum and Instruction
- Educational Administration
- Master of Science: Golden Yellow
- Clinical Psychology
- Counseling and Guidance
- Counseling Psychology
- Special Education
- Computer Science
- Information Systems and Technology
- Economics
- Master of Education: Light Blue
- Master of Business Administration: Drab

This is a VERY important fundraising social for Snowcrest Riders. Our volunteers are trying really hard to get C101D and trail 12 that leads to the Community Ctr, open for next weekend. In the event that we can't, we hope to have a great turn out of support by those who will arrive by car. Stay tuned, because it is looking promising at this point to have these trails at least limited if mother nature helps next week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
