[0:01] <Xeon3D> does the same raspbian image on the raspberry foundation site work for all rpi versions?
[3:31] <ShorTie> from pc ??
[3:32] <ShorTie> does your cable have 24awg printed on it ??
[3:36] <mrkramps> which power block? model?
[3:42] <zombieJesus> does anyone know if I have to unzip the roms?
[4:00] <Smeef> Are there any interesting Pi projects I can build with an old T-Mobile cellular hotspot?
[4:04] <zombieJesus> cellular hotspot relays are kind of interesting.
[4:37] <tlvb> Decoding that a 0w is probably my best for a project, should i succeed i will want a few of them, do you just place several separate orders at one and the same store?
[7:42] <thereyougo> what is the most powerful RPi model ? the one with 2GB ram and 4 cores ?
[7:43] <IanTLopp> there was an april fool's joke about the raspi 4, which had 2 GB, and other BS features.
[7:44] <IanTLopp> $35 for everything that's on the Raspi 3 is INCREDIBLY good deal.
[7:45] <thereyougo> or its very important to keep RPi's price about $35 ? isn't the main point of havin RPi is having it eat less power ? I mean if you make model say with 8GB it will not eat more power is it ?
[7:45] <thereyougo> how much do you think would it add to price if you make it with 8GB of ram ? $100 ?
[7:46] <IanTLopp> thereyougo: I can only speak as an innocent bystander here, but I'm pretty sure the price is a fairly major factor with regards to the raspi setup... if you want something more there are a LOT of other options out there, but the raspi isn't designed with super power in mind.
[7:48] <thereyougo> what is the closest alterntive with say 4GB RAM and 4 CPU cores and small price ? odroid ?
[7:48] <IanTLopp> your best bet is probably one of the atom units.
[7:49] <IanTLopp> BUT, if you don't mind french, the bananapi's have some interesting options.
[7:50] <nevodka> i searched "single board computer comparison"
[7:51] <IanTLopp> thereyougo: another thought for you. what are you doing that makes you think you need more ram?
[7:52] <IanTLopp> not saying there's not a reason, but a lot of the time we just want bigger/better/whatever without realizing that if we streamline our ideas, we can have a better experience with a lower cost/more supported solution.
[7:53] <IanTLopp> nevodka: almost forgot about the orange pi's... heh.
[8:05] <thereyougo> because, for some reason people want more cores but not more RAM ? and if increasing number of cores made it more expensive we would still have 2 cores RPi ?
[8:06] <thereyougo> very first ones ?
[8:07] <thereyougo> so they get from 1 core to 4 ? and from 512MB to 1GB ?
[8:07] <thereyougo> keeping the price ?
[8:13] <binaryhermit> and the model A was initially supposed to have 128 MB but they bumped it prior to release?
[8:26] <sware> Does anyone here have experience with mmal? I have YUV data I want to pass into a component for conversion but I'm not sure how to fill the buffer with yuv because it's separated by y/u/v.
[8:30] <thereyougo> what people use RPi for most of the time ?
[8:30] <thereyougo> cluster computing with python ? file servers ? web server ?
[8:39] <nevodka> thereyougo, why would it have to be with python?
[8:39] <IanTLopp> thereyougo: depends upon the user - there are TONS of different things you can do with PI, but I'd assume that a HUGE number of people run retropie or other similar projects.
[8:44] <IanTLopp> nevodka: oh, I know, but it's amusing to do it... I'm looking at building a rackmounted pi cluster for that purpose - just because.
[8:44] <IanTLopp> eventually I *may* buy a proper asic, but, meh.
[8:44] <IanTLopp> I don't need to hire a hitman, or buy drugs without the government knowing where the money is coming from or going to.
[8:48] <IanTLopp> nevodka: you heathen! why hast thou foresaken the Great Gaben?
[8:51] <IanTLopp> so you have no more hobbies? no more fun?
[8:53] <IanTLopp> nevodka: I'm 39, and i still have fun!
[8:54] <IanTLopp> amigojapan: it's just a driver issue - as long as the OS you're running has the proper drivers for Xbox 360 controllers, they should work fine.
[8:54] <IanTLopp> what are you trying to do that retropie won't work with?
[8:55] <amigojapan> nevodka: what is the name of the backage of hte drivers?
[8:55] <IanTLopp> amigojapan: not saying it's bad to do so, but what do you want to do in raspbian with the controller?
[8:58] <IanTLopp> amigojapan: again, not saying you're doing anything wrong, but why not use retropie for emulation as opposed to a separate emulator on raspbian?
[9:00] <IanTLopp> amigojapan: ahh, okay - valid reasons.
[9:01] <IanTLopp> as a consideration, unless you have other reasons for wanting a full raspbian install, it *might* be preferable to run retropie and worth it for the extra work involved.
[9:05] <IanTLopp> amigojapan: OH, you have to tear the device apart?
[9:05] <NedScott> why not both?
[9:07] <amigojapan> NedScott: whis is the install script?
[9:16] <NedScott> did you look at it funny or touch yourself at night?
[9:17] <IanTLopp> so I unplugged it, and messed with a file or two, then plugged it back in. Did this several times.
[9:18] <IanTLopp> just put a different SD card in - still no light on the unit.
[9:18] <IanTLopp> if I have NO sd card in it, and plug it in, will I normally get a green light on it at all?
[9:20] <IanTLopp> but an LED light on the board will come on, correct?
[9:21] <IanTLopp> no lights come on at all with no SD or anything else attached.
[9:21] <IanTLopp> so, dead unit.
[9:22] <IanTLopp> err... dead unit?
[9:23] <IanTLopp> anything else I can do to test the unit?
[9:24] <IanTLopp> I'll have to see if I have a minihdmi to hdmi cable or connector.
[9:33] <IanTLopp> still no lights, but it does come on.
[9:33] <drjam> ah ou said y ou unplugged it several times.....was that the actual USBmicro charging port?
[9:34] <IanTLopp> yes, the actual usb micro charging port.
[9:34] <IanTLopp> didn't know it'd be that easy to blow the light... GRRR.
[10:12] <thereyougo> by the way when you just boot raspbian without running anything how much free rum there is ? if say first thing you run is a "top" how much it shows used and free RAM ?
[10:21] <mfa298> my original Pi1b that's been up a while and might have some other stuff running only shows 43mb used.
[10:24] <tommy``> where i can paste code with yello highliting of some lines?
[10:25] <thereyougo> is it possible to boot raspbian in qemu ? I run "qemu-system-arm -machine help" and it shows: "raspi2 Raspberry Pi 2", is it some generic type for any Raspberry Pi ?
[10:46] <IanTLopp> apparently octopi 0.13 was giving me issues considering it doesn't properly support the zero W... it would boot without the light working, but wifi wouldn't work. I'd still get the octopi login: prompt. Now with a nightly that supports the zero w things seem to be working better.
[10:54] <IanTLopp> it's strictly for converting the standard 3.7v that most lipo batteries provide, to the 5v that your raspi begs for.
[11:01] <IanTLopp> personally I need some way to power my raspberry pi 3 with a battery... all the powerboosts, and pimoroni lipo chargers, etc, all end up being for older devices.. NOTHING provides the 2.5A that the pi 3 wants.
[11:01] <IanTLopp> what's your project?
[11:01] <IanTLopp> that's what I've got.
[11:04] <NedScott> you ever see the ODROID-W?
[11:08] <gordonDrogon> IanTLopp, the 2.5A is only needed with everything going flat-out and the USB+GPIO taking 1.2 amps too.
[11:08] <gordonDrogon> so you can take 1.2A off what's needed if not using usb or taking power off the gpio.
[11:08] <IanTLopp> gordonDrogon: except no... not really, because if I plug a 2.4amp charger into the pi3, when it turns on, I get a little yellow lightning icon in the top right and EVERYTHING is slowed down.
[11:09] <IanTLopp> that is, of course, specifically running retropie.. perhaps other things wont' have that.
[11:09] <gordonDrogon> IanTLopp, that means it's not able to actually provide 5v at 1amp. mesure it. you have a somewhat sub-optimal PSU.
[11:09] <IanTLopp> nacelle: no... I have a 2.5a charger and the pi 3 boots up without the lightning icon, and nothing is slow.
[11:10] <gordonDrogon> you have a box that says 2.5A on it.
[11:10] <gordonDrogon> most of the cheap ones lie.
[11:11] <IanTLopp> gordonDrogon: this is an official raspi charger, and I also have a nonofficial raspi charger that are both at 2.5, both have the SAME function and provide the required powered to the pi 3... EVERY charger I have for every tablet, and every phone I've tried on the pi 3 all give the yellow lightning icon and slow down in SNES.
[11:11] <gordonDrogon> this is why the foundation and a few others produced their own PSUs in the end.
[11:11] <gordonDrogon> ok. are you sure it's not faulty?
[11:11] <IanTLopp> what, the pi3?
[11:11] <IanTLopp> also, my other pi 3 has the same issues.
[11:12] <IanTLopp> more specifically, on any 2.4a or lesser charger, it boots up, gets yellow lightning, and snes is slow... running on either of my two 2.5a chargers (official and non-official) I get no yellow lightning and fast snes.
[11:13] <gordonDrogon> slowdowns are due to thermal throttling - I'm not aware of slowdowns due to low voltage, however it may be a new feature I'm not aware of. the lightning bolt thing is low voltage.
[11:14] <gordonDrogon> you can get a v3 to thermally throttle just with the ARM alone - although you need to run all 4 cores (in my tests anyway).
[11:15] <nacelle> is there a recommended 3+ amp supply?
[11:15] <gordonDrogon> gpio power bypasses the 1.2A limiter for USB.
[11:15] <gordonDrogon> can you power the screen indepedndant of the Pi?
[11:15] <IanTLopp> the yellow icon on a 2.4a device.
[11:16] <gordonDrogon> no (2 batteries), however - if you took power from the power source (battery, mains, etc.) directly to the screen, it would bypass the on-board 2.5A limiter on the Piv3.
[11:17] <gordonDrogon> so one power source - Y splitter, one leg going to the Pi, one going directly to the display.
[11:18] <NedScott> but if the battery only provides 1 amp of power then it still wouldn't work, right?
[11:18] <gordonDrogon> not if the display needs 1A..
[11:22] <gordonDrogon> just be aware that the Pi has a 2.5A polyfuse on the USB power input.
[11:23] <IanTLopp> gordonDrogon: hmm... so that might be reason enough to have separate power to the screen then.
[11:24] <NedScott> have you seen those cheap 5inch HDMI screens on ebay?
[11:25] <gordonDrogon> the foundation 7" screen can power the Pi via the GPIO connector.
[11:25] <IanTLopp> sorry, I'm sure it's a fine piece of tech.
[11:25] <IanTLopp> ahh, didn't know.
[11:25] <gordonDrogon> that looks like the adafruit 5" one - which I have and works fairly well.
[11:26] <IanTLopp> well i can't use wide screen, so fmeh.
[11:28] <IanTLopp> was there some reason they couldn't go with pihat?
[11:29] <IanTLopp> just read the difference - hats have eeproms, this one does not.
[11:30] <gordonDrogon> To use the 'HAT' name you need the on-board eeprom and follow the foundation specification.
[11:30] <IanTLopp> at any rate, I gotta get to bed..
[11:31] <IanTLopp> at any rate... night all.
[11:31] <gordonDrogon> so anything without the eeprom isn't a HAT - at least not officially.
[11:31] <IanTLopp> NedScott: well I'm trying to find a 1.8" screen running at 320x240... THAT small enough?
[11:32] <IanTLopp> raspi 3 with everything desoldered?
[11:32] <IanTLopp> do NOT let Ben Heck hear you say that.
[11:33] <gordonDrogon> 1.8" at that resolutions? tricky ..
[11:33] <IanTLopp> I'm putting a raspi zero inside http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3349/1529/1600/vee-em-you.jpg and turning it into a 16-bit emulation console.
[11:34] <IanTLopp> gordonDrogon: tricky to buy... i can find plenty of tech with that screen, but nobody sells JUST the screen... ergh.
[11:34] <IanTLopp> it's mostly in older "mp4 players"
[11:34] <IanTLopp> even touch screen no less... but I can't find the screen with or without a controller board.
[11:34] <gordonDrogon> plenty of 2.8" displays designed to fit over the old Pi size.
[11:40] <IanTLopp> I want to gut one of these (the tube itself), install a reverse side projector screen, then a projector on the inside. Run a computer through it, and somehow put some kind of filter on the video output to have it fit the shape of that screen exactly.
[11:41] <IanTLopp> NedScott: NOO... you gotta have dials for UHF and VHF! 2-13-U, then 14-69!
[13:15] <hackal> Hi is there a limit on how many GPIO pins can you use at the same time?
[13:20] <gordonDrogon> hackal, there is a limit on the total current draw/sink, but that's easy to work around.
[13:26] <hackal> Thank you. I just realized that I am using I2C so the number of pins is irrelevant plus I am using under 10 sensors so I should be fine.
[15:23] <Milca> any config.txt guru around ?
[15:27] <leftyfb> Milca: are you taking a survey?
[15:27] <HrdwrBoB> Milca: ask your actual question.
[15:30] <Milca> do you think that's manageable ?
[15:31] <Milca> is there a particular reason ?
[15:37] <leftyfb> Milca: I searched for "raspberry pi dsi hdmi"
[15:46] <Milca> what kind of usb adapter ?
[15:55] <Milca> leftyfb: I found a "solution"
[15:56] <ball> Milca: Computers are dumb.
[15:56] <ball> Such is their nature.
[15:57] <hgsfn> ok thanks, so all timiing requirements of 3V followed by WIFI_REG_ON is handled in hardware?
[16:11] <hgsfn> Chillium: yep so all those details are closed?
[17:10] <l33n> anyone used poisontap?
[17:17] <stephenm> Hi, wanted to ask but does anyone know if it's possible to get the full version of minecraft on the Pi 2? Also wanted to know about chatrooms that a kid can go to, to also get up?
[18:31] <Budd> How can I measure house current with a Raspberry Pi? I'm failing to find either Hall effect sensors or clamp ammeters that look easy to interface.
[18:34] <Budd> I hadn't heard of Current Cost before - looking it up.
[18:37] <Budd> They're not too geek-oriented, and it's hard to see how their setup works - does the sensor have a serial out, or does it have to boucne (wireless?) to the control box first?
[18:39] <Budd> Awfully nice of them to ofer a documented data out - not too many companies encourage hacking like that.
[18:40] <SpeedEvil> currentcost actually (at one point, unsure of now) had bare PCBs for sale on ebay to do interesting stuff.
[18:41] <Budd> I found an affortable switchable power strip from sparkfun recently, but other 110V-safe interfaces are a little hard to come by.
[18:43] <Psi-Jack> Sonoff is neat, but as-is isn't really "safe", unless you nicely hide the box somewhere humans can't simply touch it. And the lack of ground wire support is just silly.
[18:43] <Budd> thanks for all the leads - this shoudl keep me happy for a while.
[18:47] <Habbie> just directly, no code in between?
[18:49] <Habbie> i bet sonoff doesn't happen to expose the ADC?
[18:58] <Psi-Jack> Ugh... Such a PITA to get a PIR working without flapping.
[18:58] <Psi-Jack> But, at least now I put in some logic to "calibrate" it without blocking everything else during that time.
[19:49] <Psi-Jack> 10~12 seconds of HIGH state, 5 seconds locked low, promptly after that, it goes HIGH 1~3 times for 2~3 seconds each.
[20:03] <strixUK> so, how much would a metal case affect v3's built-in wifi?
[20:03] <strixUK> CoJaBo: especially since i wanted it for RF containment, that was my expectation.
[20:04] <strixUK> oh well, i guess i shan't bother.
[20:06] <CoJaBo> what kind of diagram?
[20:07] <strixUK> i had a brief gander at that, but didn't see the wifi device on it. it's only one page of the schematic.
[20:20] <ball> strixUK: What is the "CL"?
[20:24] <strixUK> yeah, AIUI, the Foundation is basically made up of CL faculty members. I recognise most of those names from the lab.
[20:25] <strixUK> if network is also USB, that would mean that 40 Mb/s @ 2.4 MS/s is going both ways on the one USB 2 root port.
[20:25] <binaryplease> HI, I just saw this: https://getchip.com/pages/pocketchip and thought I could build my own with a raspi. Are there any good thumb keyboards for the raspi? Possible with enclosure?
[20:26] <Habbie> strixUK, yes - can't you decode on the pi?
[20:27] <strixUK> but v3 is quad core, so... maybe it has enough power to do everything locally?
[20:28] <Habbie> strixUK, what are you decoding?
[20:29] <strixUK> you'd think that AM wouldn't require much in the way of processing. no idea what ADS-B looks like at that level.
[20:30] <strixUK> but i have zero idea of what a pi's capabilities are, so i'm making no assumptions. i only recall that ssh into a pi was.. a bit painful. but that would have been an earlier model pi, i think.
[20:30] <strixUK> i should hope not. if there were, looking at it would be naughty.
[20:31] <strixUK> no, i'm pretty sure (nearly certain) that ADS-B is not encrypted.
[20:31] <Habbie> so what are you doing on AM?
[20:31] <Habbie> listening to radio?
[20:45] <strixUK> tech data on pi 3 and the BCM2837 is scant, so it's hard to tell. i can't see why the BCM2837 would have more than one set of SDIO pins. but anything's possible, i guess.
[20:48] <Habbie> BurtyB, how did you connect two SD cards?
[20:49] <CoJaBo> where are the pins for it tho?
[21:00] <strixUK> CoJaBo: weird. routing problem, maybe?
[21:01] <RoBo_V> is there way to run android emulator on rpi3 raspbian ?
[21:01] <CoJaBo> strixUK: apperently. Can't even get to it from IA tho, which is odd.
[21:02] <RoBo_V> yes it will be.
[21:02] <RoBo_V> Though as i am reading standlone is possible.
[21:03] <RoBo_V> But I'm looking for intermediate sort of thing.
[21:04] <RoBo_V> Can I use that ported android to run command line things ?
[21:05] <RoBo_V> I think i need to grap one rpi and test.
[21:06] <RoBo_V> or is there any way to emulate rasapbery pi 3 on PC ?
[21:08] <RoBo_V> Emulating rpi3 on pc to test emulation of android on it. seems complicated haha!
[21:10] <strixUK> am i right in thinking that i shouldn't expect to be able to install a stock linux on a pi and then go from there, and that unless i'm a masochist of the first order, the only real option is to choose from one of the pre-assembled OS images and go from there?
[21:10] <strixUK> if i'm used to ubuntu, any recommendations about which OS image to choose?
[21:11] <strixUK> good-oh, thanks. okay, now i get the name. portmanteau.
[21:13] <strixUK> mrkramps: sounds like too much trouble.
[21:17] * ball would like an SDR, RX at least.
[21:22] <ball> ...I would love to try WSPR on it.
[21:27] <strixUK> ball- ah well, tx... i guess i'm chicken, but then i'm not licensed.
[21:28] <ball> $25 I could scrape together.
[21:31] <strixUK> also, the 3 kit antennae they provide apparently aren't completely useless.
[21:33] <ball> I've heard a couple of podcasts about hackrf.
[21:33] <ball> RX-only is fine for now, even though I'm licensed.
[21:36] <strixUK> though i suppose that that isn't a problem so long as i never fsck up. It could be interesting to have a look the 2-6 GHz region. but not enough to spend the extra.
[21:37] <Habbie> strixUK, your apologies are accepted!
[21:38] <ball> What's at 1.09 GHz?
[21:40] <ball> Never heard of it.
[21:41] <Habbie> 1.9 GHz, right?
[21:42] <ball> I recently bought a phone capable of GSM at 1900. Sadly it didn't work on my carrier so it's a paperweight.
[21:42] <Habbie> ball, it's 1900 only?
[21:43] <Habbie> oh, why paperweight then?
[21:43] <ball> Habbie: It doesn't work on my network.
[21:44] <ball> Psi-Jack: Best guess, the networks are moving to voice over LTE.
[21:44] <Psi-Jack> That has nothing to do with much.
[21:44] <ball> Psi-Jack: It does if they won't register a GSM-only device.
[21:44] <Psi-Jack> LTE = data.
[21:45] <GekkePrutser> Can you not lie about it?
[21:45] <ball> GekkePrutser: The network won't register it. It's not a question of persuading a human.
[21:45] <Psi-Jack> Now, CDMA vs GSM, that's important.
[21:46] <Psi-Jack> But, 2G, 3G, 4G, LTE, that has nothing to do with much.
[21:46] <ball> Psi-Jack: Depends on the network.
[21:46] <GekkePrutser> GSM is still going strong here in Europe.
[21:47] <ball> GekkePrutser: Right. I might take it with me when I go home, test it with a prepaid SIM.
[21:47] <ball> ...leave my smartphone at home.
[21:47] <Psi-Jack> What network, ball?
[21:48] <ball> Psi-Jack: Metro PCS, a reseller of T-Mobile's network.
[21:48] <Psi-Jack> Oh, well, that's why. Metro PCS. If you went directly to T-Mo, it would work just fine.
[21:48] <ball> Psi-Jack: You think it would work with a T-Mobile SIM?
[21:49] <ball> Might be interesting to test but I don't really need three mobile phones.
[21:51] <GekkePrutser> Yeah they do. Basic Nokias etc.
[21:54] <ball> "feature phones" are non-smart phones.
[21:57] <ball> Is Orange still around?
[21:58] <Psi-Jack> ball: I /know/ it would.
[21:58] <Psi-Jack> ball: The difference is MetroPCS policies vs T-Mobile policies.
[21:59] <GekkePrutser> But there's still kpn, Vodafone and tmobile right?
[22:02] <ball> I pay UKP 28/month for "all you can eat", with up to 1GB of LTE.
[22:02] <ball> ...after that it throttles down to 3G but I don't hit that.
[22:03] <Psi-Jack> Anyone ever worked with a PIR sensor much to get some kind of reasonable detection algorithm going for them?
[22:04] <ball> Psi-Jack: Are you sensing people or walls?
[22:04] <Psi-Jack> I've got mine kinda working, but it tends to flap high/low several times after a detection event, which is annoying.
[22:06] <Psi-Jack> So far, I just integrated another conditional logic that essentially tests for consistent high state motion for > 6s, because most results when it's flapping is 2-4sec.
[22:08] * ball contemplates taking a nap.
[22:09] <Psi-Jack> Hmmm. I think I may try working with that concept, filtering out short high states.
[22:24] <Psi-Jack> Yep.. Filtering out 5125 milisec seems to be a pretty magical number. Sitting in front of the PIR, it sensing me, but only confirms movement if I really am actually moving and not just sitting still moving just a tiny little bit.
[22:27] <Psi-Jack> Or, at least, delays them..
[22:30] <Psi-Jack> Yeah, I might have to test on an actual wall placement, to really get the idea down.
[22:31] <Psi-Jack> I moved the sensor further away, closer against the wall, still on my desk though, and it seems to be doing slightly better, many 3s hits, higher sensitivity setting.
[22:49] <Psi-Jack> Definitely confirming all movements... so far. Pondering if I should alter the lowLock a little in case it re-fires in a very low period of time.
[22:53] <doomlord> what intel cpiu is the rpi3 cpu aproximately equal to?
[23:04] <sware> anone know how to fix broken pipe errors with rsync in linux to the pi?
[23:05] <Psi-Jack> Sure, find out what part of the pipe is failing.
[23:07] <Ellied> doomlord: maybe some old Atom for common functions. But it's really apples to oranges.
[23:09] <Psi-Jack> Or disk problem.
[23:09] <sware> not sure. Doing this from an ubuntu vm and it has worked before no problem.
[23:11] <Psi-Jack> LIke I said, it's easily either a network communication issue, or disk I/O issue.
[23:12] <Psi-Jack> How are you verifying there is no problem with the disk and/or disk i/o?
[23:13] <sware> why would there be when any other operation works?
[23:13] <Psi-Jack> So, you haven't. Assuming.
[23:16] <ball> sware: Does scp work?
[23:17] <alexandre9099> hi, my raid 0 storage suddenly became read only and i get this on dmesg "EXT4-fs error (device md0p1): __ext4_get_inode_loc:4072: inode #1576106: block 6291690: comm chmod: unable to read itable block" is this a bad sign?
[23:19] <ball> alexandre9099: You have it backed up though, right?
[23:22] <ball> Well that's unfortunate.
[23:37] <Psi-Jack> That means that an open file was locked open, retaining the file desciptor.
[23:37] <ball> If you have any files on your raid0 that aren't elsewhere, I would back them up onto something more sane.
[23:39] <ball> alexandre9099: Have you heard of the 3-2-1 rule of backups?
[23:40] <ball> alexandre9099: Essentially it suggests having three backups of any important data, on at least two different media and one of them should be off-site.
[23:41] <ball> alexandre9099: It's something to be aware of, perhaps for the future.
[23:45] <ball> alexandre9099: I can relate. I'm saving up for a faster microSDHC card for my Pi.
[23:54] <strixUK> alexandre9099: re money for backup space, there's always S3. it's really not at all expensive as storage goes.


Toy trains were revolutionized when Märklin, a German company which specialized in doll house accessories, sought to make an equivalent toy for boys in which a constant revenue stream could be ensured by selling add-on accessories for decades after the first purchase. In addition to boxed sets comprising a train and track, Märklin offered extra track, rolling stock, and buildings sold separately, creating the predecessor to the modern model train layout featuring buildings and scenery along with an operating train.
Electric trains adopted, with the first appearing in 1897, made from the U.S. firm Carlisle & Finch. As residential use of electricity became more prevalent from the early 20th century, electric trains gained popularity and as time went on, these electrical trains grew in sophistication, gaining lighting, the ability to change direction, to emit a whistling sound, to smoke, to couple and uncouple cars as well as load and unload freight. Toy trains by the first half of the 20th century were frequently made of lithographed tin; later trains were frequently made mostly of plastic.
Pull toys and wind-up trains were marketed by kids, while electric trains were marketed towards teens, particularly teenaged boys. It was during the 1950s the modern emphasis on realism in model railroading started to catch on.
Now, S gauge and O gauge railroads are still considered toy trains by their own adherents and are often accessorized with semi-scale model buildings by Plasticville or even K-Line (who owns the rights to the Plasticville-like buildings created by Marx from the 1950s to the 1970s). However, as a result of their high price, one is more inclined to locate an HO scale or N scale train set in a toy shop than a O scale set.
Many modern electric toy trains contain sophisticated electronics that emit digitized sound effects and allow the operator to safely and easily run several remote controller trains on a single loop of course. In the last few decades, many toy rail operators will operate a train using a TV camera at the front of the motor and hooked up to a display, such as pc monitor. This will show a picture, like that of a real (smaller size) railroad.

How do we disciple people?
How do we reach the unchurched/dechurched?
What 3DM does is take 30 years of learning from a very post-Christian England context, as well as penetrating Biblical insights, and come alongside churches and organizations who are finding the North American mission field more post-Christian with each passing day.
I was struck by this train of thought (sounds painful, I know, and often it is). Let me tell you a story.
When I first graduated college and went into the world of professional ministry, I spent seven years doing youth ministry near Seattle. The culture in the Pacific Northwest is as unchurched as anywhere in the U.S. I got used to seeing my Christian identity as a minority thing in that culture, got used to going to parties where it was a rarity to meet another Christian, got used to Christian kids every day having to live out their faith in a non-Christian -- and often anti-Christian -- environment. At first it was a shock for me, because I grew up in a community where the church was the center of the community in social, spiritual, physical, and emotional terms. Now in the Northwest, I was confronted by the fact that the church was very much out on the margins.
Then I noticed something. I noticed that there were really two kinds of churches. Some churches were refugee churches, really trying to hold onto their power and the way things used to be while the culture went to hell around them. Others were engaged churches, churches that got involved in the community, churches that delighted in the fact that they were rubbing shoulders all the time with those who didn't know Jesus. The two kinds of churches really boiled down to churches that retreated and churches that advanced. The advancing churches were vibrant, strong, and healthy.
When we moved back to the Twin Cities in 1995, I was overwhelmed by a few trivial experiences that reminded me that my cultural context had changed. I remember vividly standing in the checkout at a local grocery store listening to two teenage girls talk about their plans to go to Confirmation that evening. In seven years of youth ministry in Seattle, I'd never had that experience. I was back in a place where the church was much more integrated with daily life for a large portion of the population.
I also noticed, though, that the churches in the midwest were full of complacent people. They valued their churches, but they didn't get too excited about faith. It was just part of life. This attitude permeated the churches, from the preschools to the pastors. Church was just one of those institutions. The church held a privileged position, and everyone -- more or less -- recognized its importance.
But change was coming. Having recently lived in an environment where the church was losing the culture wars in a big way, I recognized the symptoms. Right here in the Twin Cities, community soccer teams practiced on Sunday mornings. Cable television provided more and better entertainment than any church. Social networks revolved more and more around shared activities (bike clubs, rock climbing groups, dance classes, athletic teams, gyms, neighborhood block parties) rather than around church activities. The church was slowly, almost imperceptibly, drifting to the margins of the culture.
In the last fifteen years, I've watched that process continue. Churches struggle to compete with travel basketball and Facebook and the lake cabin, and most of the time churches are losing that battle. Complacent members see less and less need to attend worship regularly, or they attend when there's nothing else going on. Confirmations and baptisms and weddings happen in the church more often as a nod toward a previous generation's tradition rather than as the outgrowth of a living relationship with Jesus Christ.
So I think these guys at 3dm are onto something. They're looking at what works in Europe, recognizing that the same trends are at work in the United States.
The church will not hold back the tide of cultural drift. We've lost that battle already. It's time to change tactics, to adopt a new strategy. Churches need to become subversive groups within a non-Christian culture. We need to worry more about passionate faith in ourselves rather than trying to lobby for policies within the wider culture. Disciples will be made through individual and small group relationships rather than through legislative action.
The way we do church has to change. In fact, it has changed. Those who gather on Sunday mornings as a nod to the church of the 1950's have missed Jesus as he goes out to seek and save the lost. They may be wonderful social clubs, even Christian social clubs, but they are not churches. The church that is led and enlivened by the Holy Spirit is a church that is struggling every day to keep up with Jesus, to figure out how to leave behind more and more of our baggage and travel light with him.
A day to remember. As children we didn't understand -- it was about meeting down at the church at noon, standing around outside waiting for the soldiers to show up. They got out of their cars when they came, grim men in various uniforms, carrying flags and rifles. We all stood on the northwest corner of the church, looking out over the headstones, and the soldiers lined up with their rifles. One man spoke orders in a voice just under a shout, a voice you knew could be heard through chaos and fear. Three times the rifles fired; three times we covered our ears at the report. A bugler played taps while the soldiers stood at attention, and when the final order was given and the men went back to their cars, we kids scrambled in the grass for the shell casings. Then everyone turned back to the church doors, and we went downstairs for the potluck. The soldiers came down, too, but now they were smiling and talking as though they were real people, as though they were neighbors and friends and farmers and fathers. Outside in the late May wind the headstones remained impassive.
Here is the last letter he wrote home from England.
I was so glad to get your letter last night. I've been trying to write home quite often. I hope you get them. I don't know when I will get a chance to write again. Don't worry about me if it is awhile before you hear from me. The years I've been in the Army have been pretty rough but I've managed. All along I've felt the power of the prayers of my dear mother. And I feel that God will be with me in the battles to come. I've been training to fight and fight I will. It is my business. I am unafraid to go into combat. Two years ago the thought would have scared me. In fact I'm quite anxious to meet the enemy, but I will want to come home some day, get married and enjoy a quiet peaceful life. The thoughts of home are indeed pleasant. They are fond memories. One of the biggest things the Army has done for me is to appreciate my home, my parents and brothers and sister. Everybody made it pleasant for the other person and that's what a home should be. I'll write next chance I get and if I can, I will send a cable gram. Tell Alberts hello, also Louise and the other folks down there. It would sure be fun to see them all again.
I'm going to write a letter to Elsie too tonight. I'll have to forget about writing to the other people that I owe letters to.
Cheap grace means grace as a doctrine, a principle, a system. It means forgiveness of sins proclaimed as a general truth, the love of God taught as the Christian 'conception' of God. Anintellectual assent to that idea is held to be of itself sufficient to secure remission of sins.... In such a Church the world finds a cheap covering for its sins; no contrition is required, still less any real desire to be delivered from sin. Cheap grace therefore amounts to a denial of the living Word of God, in fact, a denial of the Incarnation of the Word of God.
If you read the last post here and wondered about the difference between "eisegesis" and "exegesis," click on the link to the right that says, "Iron sharpens iron." This is an old column from 2009 that talks about how to get started reading the Bible for what it says rather than what we want it to say.
What do you do when the world doesn't end?
My favorite part, of course, is "The Bible guarantees it!" There are a great many things the Bible does, in fact, guarantee. One of them is that you cannot know the timing of Jesus' second coming. Yet interpreter after interpreter comes up with some hare-brained scheme for identifying when Jesus is returning, in spite of the fact that he said we couldn't know. One well-meaning friend of mine said in all sincerity, "Jesus said we can't know the day or the hour. I do think if we are paying attention, though, we can know the year." Talk about missing the point!
1. HC believes he has identified with great precision when Noah's flood occured.
3. In 2 Peter 3:8 the Bible says that "with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is as one day."
4. So, in a great leap of reasoning, HC says that the seven days Noah's family waited in the Ark should be multiplied times one thousand years to predict the end of the world.
5. May 21, 2011, is (according to HC) 7,000 years to the day after the flood waters started pouring down on the earth.
See? It all makes sense. NOT.
Camping dealt with the whole idea that Jesus said we couldn't know. He said that applied only up until 1988, when the era of the church came to an end. I could find no reasonable explanation why he thought this to be the case.
What this sad ordeal all comes down to is this. When you read the Bible, don't read your own desires and interpretations into it. Scholars call this "eisegesis" which means, literally, that you read your own truth into the text. Responsible Bible interpretation is called "exegesis" and this means reading out of the text what it means. So what does the Bible repeatedly say about trying to predict the end of the world? DON'T DO IT.
This applies to many other areas as well. What does the Bible repeatedly say about, for example, debt? It's dangerous and will get you into trouble. Yet we think our credit card or our home equity line of credit is a gift from the bank to us. Why don't we read our Bibles and say, "Oh, God already spoke to this. His word clearly says this 'gift' of debt is going to get me in trouble. I'll trust him on this one."
There are so many questions these days where we choose to make our own decisions because it makes sense to us rather than submitting to what God says is true. Sometimes this is just ignorance, like the guy who told me the other day he's a pretty good person and has done his best to live in a way that pleases God, so he thinks if this rapture thing really does happen that God will be good to him. I don't think he knew how unbiblical his position was.
Sadly, others who really should know better choose to go with what makes sense to them rather than what God teaches in his word. This happens most often when our culture has chosen to go its own way and leave biblical truth behind. (Accumulation of goods -- homes, toys, cars, land, wealth of all kinds, is one example among many in which our culture pursues its own "truth" in opposition to the Bible. There are lots of others.) In this case, there are all kinds of sources of information and "wisdom" coming from the voices of the culture that sound reasonable, so we choose to listen to them instead of the Bible. We tell ourselves, "This is just the way life is." And because it makes sense to us, we merrily follow the culture and we bit-by-bit walk away from God's word.
Powerful story of the song "How He Loves" by John Mark Macmillan.
Okay, so a side comment on the lyrics. Originally the lyrics in the second verse say, "Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss." I vividly remember the first time I heard this song. It was at the late service last summer at Central Lutheran Church -- well, actually, at Lions Park in Elk River, just across the street from Central, because that's where we hold the outdoor worship service in the summers, there in the big amphitheater. Kaycee Robertson was leading worship and she had lyric sheets printed up of this song and at first I thought, "I'm not sure I like this song." Then as it went on, and the chorus was "Oh, how he loves us" over and over like a hammer pounding on my heart until I actually realized that Jesus truly does love us, really, not just like we say it on Sunday mornings in the sanctuary but for real ... I started to like the song.
Then we started the second verse, which says, "We are his portion and he is our prize / drawn to redemption by the grace in his eyes / if grace is an ocean, we're all sinking / so heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss / and my heart turns violently inside of my chest / and I don't have time to maintain these regrets / when I think about the way, he loves us ..."
And I thought, "sloppy wet kiss"?! What's going on here? Then I looked at the lyric sheet and I realized, this is talking about the incarnation of Jesus. It's talking about what the prophets had foretold so many centuries before, how Jesus became flesh, and in that becoming, heaven -- the state of being in which God is sovereign over all -- truly does meet earth, and it truly is like a sloppy wet kiss. It's messy. It's intimate. It's tangible. And it does make my heart turn violently inside of my chest. Jesus becoming human to live and die and rise for me is a mess, but he did it anyway.
So when the David Crowder Band redid the song and changed the lyrics to "heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss" I was not happy. Because Jesus' incarnation was not only foreseen, it was predicted. When he was born and laid in a manger in Bethlehem, there were dozens of prophecies being fulfilled. It was NOT unforeseen.
So I prefer the original version instead of the sanitized one.
The explanation I heard (third-hand) is that the David Crowder Band didn't want a song that would stop people in their tracks and make them say, "Huh?" in the middle of worship.
But sometimes I think that's exactly what we need to do in the middle of worship. We need to stop and say, "Huh?" because there's so much we take for granted. We come into the presence of the God of the universe, the Almighty and Ever-living One, and he longs for nothing so much as a personal relationship with us, and we just gloss over that and wonder how long the sermon is going to be today. We need to be jarred a little. We need to have our sensibilities shaken up and our perceptions challenged and our preconceptions shattered by the fact that Jesus got into the middle of our mess, the mess that we usually try to hide from everyone including our best friends.
To make my point, read the Bible. There is LOTS of stuff there that stops you in your tracks and makes you say, "Huh?" Here's a partial list off the top of my head.
1. Why does God want to create stuff?
2. How does God go walking in the garden in the cool of the day?
3. Why is Eve made from a rib?
4. Why does God warn Cain and then Cain kills Abel anyway?
5. Why does Cain -- exiled to wander the earth -- immediately build a city?
6. Who does Cain build a city for?
7. Skipping ahead a bit, why doesn't Noah, who was so good he pleased God, say anything in the story until he curses his grandson Canaan?
8. Why does God make a covenant with Abraham using a bunch of split carcasses?
9. Who is Melchizedek? Is it God in human flesh before the incarnation? So, God the Son who will someday become Jesus, experimenting with incarnation before it gets trendy? Or is it just some pagan king of Jerusalem?
10. Why does Jacob spoil his son Joseph so bad that all the other sons hate him? Is Jacob really so clueless?
11. How come God doesn't lose patience with this bunch? How is it possible that he's willing to put up with all their garbage?
12. Why does the book of Exodus affirm the midwives for lying to Pharaoh?
13. Why does Moses resist God to the point of making him tear his hair out, claiming that he can't speak well, and then when Moses and Aaron get in front of Pharaoh Moses does almost all the talking?
14. Why does the Exodus take place in the most well-documented civilization of the ancient world, but yet we have no secular record of the Israelites' slavery or their escape?
15. Why are the Israelites so amazingly obtuse? Why can't they just once get it right? Why do they keep grumbling, rebelling, complaining, and messing up in every conceivable way?
16. Why does Moses get banished from the Promised Land for one tiny mess up after the Israelites have been pardoned time and again?
17. Skipping way ahead, why doesn't Job ever learn about the bet between Satan and God over whether he'll curse God or not?
I'm going to stop at 17. You see, there are hundreds -- thousands -- of "Huh?" moments in scripture. If we're going to relate to God we'd better get used to them. We didn't even get halfway through the Old Testament.
Sloppy wet kisses. It's as good a phrase as any for this messy way God gets involved in the details of our lives, and how he doesn't fix stuff, he just gets into the middle of it with us. If you haven't watched the video at the top of this post, go back and click on it. It's worth your time.
A decade or so ago, a friend of mine introduced me to an excellent question. She was from a Nazarene background but had started attending our mainline Lutheran church in Williston, North Dakota. She watched us carefully for a couple years and decided there were some really good things about these Lutherans, and there were some things that fell far short. One day she was explaining some of her perceptions to me and we got to talking about communion.
She explained that in the tradition in which she was raised, communion was an afterthought. Nobody took seriously that anything spiritual happened in this bread and wine transaction; it's just something Jesus said to do, so we do it. "But you Lutherans," she said, "do it different. You take it seriously. You really believe Jesus is there, and he's as good as his word to do something when you take communion." Then she went on to introduce me to her excellent question. "Jesus said that you can evaluate preachers by the fruit they bear," she said (see Matthew 7:15-17). "Well, I think you can do the same thing with a church's doctrine. You ask, 'What fruit does this bear?' And then you see what kind of fruit that church's teaching produces." She went on to tell me that in her eyes, my church's approach to communion bore good fruit. "You can see it in people's eyes, in their faces, in their lives -- they connect with Jesus in this meal. The church I was raised in, we just wanted to get it over with because it didn't mean anything anyway. But people here take it seriously, they take their time, and God honors that. Communion done this way produces good fruit."
I have come back to this excellent question over and over and over again. What fruit does it bear? When I look at a new evangelism program or a method of Bible study or a denomination's political stance or a preacher's leadership style, I often ask, "What fruit does it bear?" Very often I look at my own life and I ask about some area of my work or a habit that I'm trying to evaluate, "What fruit does it bear?"
This question goes deeper than just wondering if a thing is functional. A church may find a creative way to do evangelism that brings dozens or hundreds of people through the doors. It seems to be functional, at least in terms of numbers. But what fruit does it bear? This asks a deeper question. Does this influx of people produce disciples -- people who are following Jesus? Or do we just have a crowd assembled in one place for some other reason? We may not like this question. We would rather see ourselves as successful, but bearing fruit is often different than success. Success is so often measured in terms of numbers -- numbers of people invited, numbers of pounds lost, numbers of dollars brought in, numbers of homes built, or whatever. But fruit has more to do with long lasting change of character, change of the course of a life, change of ongoing relationships.
What fruit does it bear?
This is the question that drives us to discontinuous change, because this question so often points out that what we have been doing forever and ever, amen, is no longer producing good fruit -- if ever it did. It is possible that at one point, having a pastor lead a congregation of roughly a hundred and fifty people, gathering them once a week to preach and teach at them and receive an offering from them, provided a fruitful leadership model. Today, however, that same model tends to produce passivity. What has changed? Many things. Bottom line is, what once may have been fruitful no longer produces good fruit. This is the point at which we can keep in lockstep with tradition and The Way We've Always Done Things, or we can make strategic, discontinuous change.
Often it is not hard to imagine discontinuous change. We can envision a different future, imagine a fruitful pattern, see a better way. We are just afraid to take the leap, stick our necks out, make the required change. It is risky.
So the biggest barrier to discontinuous change is first about wisdom -- wisdom to discern the right direction to move -- but then it's mostly about courage.
Apologies to loyal blog readers! I have been unable to post new entries for several days. Some kind of glitch in the world of the people who make this blog possible, and unfortunately beyond my ability to control. SOON I will have new, thought provoking stuff for you to read, since I can now get back online and post again!
In the meantime, I have built a flamethrower. This is why the internet is SO necessary in our modern world -- it keeps dangerous people like me from exercising our full destructive potential. Karl Marx said that religion is "the opiate of the masses", meaning that religious practices and ideas tranquilize people and make them oblivious to the fact that they could really change their circumstances. Later, in the 1980's, the comic strip Bloom County portrayed a television quietly gloating, "Karl Marx hadn't seen anything yet!" The internet goes a step farther -- we quietly numb ourselves into oblivion with interactive entertainment, gaming, shopping, and "social networks" (think Facebook) on demand, at the click of a finger -- and we think we are doing something important.
It's May. So here's a thought: Get off the computer for a while. Find an eight year old. If you don't have an eight year old, you can borrow one. (Parents of eight year olds are almost always willing to loan them out, especially if someone else is willing to feed them in the bargain.) Take the eight year old to the hardware store. Wander the aisles looking for cool stuff. (For an eight year old, hardware stores are like treasure chests full of cool stuff.) See the store from the kid's perspective. PVC pipe is not for plumbing; it's the stuff blowguns are made of. If you buy the right size PVC pipe and cut a couple two foot lengths and go to the grocery store and buy a bag of the multi-colored miniature marshmallows, you can have all the fun of paintball with a lot less pain and mess. Or if you've got the really big PVC it's a ready-made tunnel. You could build a submarine out of the stuff. I was in Johnson's Hardware Hank in Zimmerman today -- I love that store -- and they have a whole display of rubber-band powered, wind-up balsa wood airplanes. Many eight year olds have never assembled, wound, or released a balsa wood airplane in their lives. This is a tragedy. Look at trailers, or storage sheds, or lengths of rope or various kinds of plywood and ask the kid, "What could you think of to do with this?" Spend time in the stovepipe section or the garden tools. See it through the eyes of wonder and exploration. If you're brave enough, look at the propane cylinders and the associated gadgets. Oh, my goodness.
When you're done at the hardware store (which, if you're doing it right, means after you've been kicked out), find someplace that sells ice cream cones, preferably in multiple flavors.
It's May. Go have some fun.

CLT20 : Dhoni and Shikhar fined for slow over rate
null | 27 Sep 2013 4:01 PM GMT
Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhnoi and Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Shikhar Dhawan were fined after their teams maintained a slow over rate during the Champions LeagueT20 match here Thursday night at the Jharkhand State Cricket Stadium (JSCA).
"At the end of the match, Chennai Super Kings were assessed to be one over behind the required rate after allowances were taken into consideration. Since it was Dhoni's first offence of the season under the CLT20's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, he (Dhoni) was fined $1,500 whilst each team member was fined $750," a statement from Champions League Twenty20 said.
"Sunrisers was also assessed to be one over behind the required rate after allowances were taken into consideration. Since it was his first offence of the season under the CLT20's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Dhawan was fined $1,500 whilst each team member was fined $750," the statement added.
Suresh Raina's brilliant all-round performance and a Dhoni blitzkrieg gave Chennai Super Kings a narrow 12-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in Group B match of the Champions League Twenty20 at the JSCA International Stadium.

The court will give its ruling on the bail application of Shoma Sen and Surendra Gadling on November 1.
Pawar today argued against bail application of Surendra Gadling, Shoma Sen, Mr Gonsalves, Arun Ferreira and Ms Bharadwaj.
Ajit Pawar and Supriya Sule led the morcha from Nehru Memorial Hall till the Divisional Commissi-oner Office in Pune on Monday.

Thunderstorms and tornadoes often damage the house or roof especially if a tree or a heavy tree limb has fallen on the roof causing structural or heavy roof damage. Heavy rains can develop a hole in the roof that can cause interior damage so it needs to be fixed immediately.
An emergency situation can become worse if not handled by professional roofers. As roofing contractors we react immediately to such situations because we know delay can cause more damage which pushes up costs. The moment you call us we quickly make an assessment, determine the right kind of repairs needed, provide you an estimate and then immediately carry out quality roof repairs.
As a temporary measure you could have covered the roof with a plastic or tarp. However, we undertake emergency roof repair or fix it permanently as we always have roofing materials available. Roof repair is not the safest preposition as you require proper equipment and the skills to repair a roof while the storm could still be blowing and there could be high winds. As professionals we know how to counter the wet and slippery roof and still do emergency roof repair correctly as we have certified roofers.
Sometimes the storm is so severe that we would first need to tarp the roof till it is safer to carry out heavy duty repairs. If you contract us for re-roofing also than we normally do not charge separately for the tarp. Also we help you to make an assessment for replacing the roof if needed so that you can claim insurance for the whole job as the payment for the tarp will then be included in the claim. Rest assured that we charge only for the roof repair work that we actually do so that you do not have to pay over the claim amount.
In emergency situations most homeowners panic but there is nothing to worry about. Call us and we will ensure your house does not suffer further damage even if we repair the roof properly only after the storm is over. Besides tarp we sometimes even do an emergency fix with tin so that the shingles do not get damaged further. Since we can assess the damage immediately we know the kind of emergency roof repair your roof could require by just checking a few things out. Sometimes if the storms are severe and we are unable to fix it immediately then the emergency roof repair could involve the use of plywood below the tarp. We have professional roofers who can undertake this long haul emergency roof repair so water is neither trapped below or on the tarp.
As experienced contractors we have undertaken a number of emergency roof repair jobs so you can be assured that we take each emergency roof repair seriously. Calling us means handing your roof repairs to us so that you and your family are completely safe.

Bundestag elections: what do they mean for Europe?
Germany elects a new parliament as well as Angela Merkel's successor on Sunday. The latest polls put the SPD under chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz in the lead with 25 percent, followed by the CDU/CSU with 22 percent and the Greens with 16 percent. As important as the election may be for Europe, most commentators don't believe it will change much in Germany's politics.

A partner for joining the Eurozone
Romania has great expectations of the new government in Berlin, says the Romanian service of German broadcaster Deutsche Welle:
"A lot is at stake in the German election as regards the future direction of the EU and overcoming the national complexes and illiberal tendencies that are coming from more and more different directions. Will Germany be able to reverse these trends? ... Regardless of the election outcome, Romania at least expects the new government [in Berlin] to help it enter the Schengen Area and the Eurozone. After all, Germany was also involved in the major decisions that brought Romania into Nato and the EU."

Portugal's recovery depends on Berlin
The German elections are more important for Portugal's economy than Portugal's own local elections which also take place on Sunday, Expresso believes:
"There's a close link between German and Portuguese GDP. If someone tickles the German GDP, the Portuguese GDP starts laughing 15 minutes later - that's how big the influence of German companies is. ... EU reconstruction aid and the interest rates of Portuguese government bonds ultimately depend on German domestic political decisions. Sunday's Bundestag election is the vote that will have the bigger impact on our future. ... Because they will influence the European Central Bank - and hence the interest rates on our sovereign debt."

A revival of Russian-German dialogue
Olaf Scholz as chancellor would be good news for Russia, says Ria Novosti:
"In the 1980s he was one of the leaders of the Young Socialists in the SPD (and wrote critical articles about 'aggressive-imperialist Nato'). ... Now he behaves like a typical German politician: he criticises Putin over Ukraine and Navalny but supports Nord Stream 2 and dialogue with Russia. He's even in favour of a 'new Ostpolitik' like that of Willy Brandt, who sorted out relations with the USSR. But Scholz talks about this new Ostpolitik having to take place at the EU level - although today almost all mainstream German politicians say 'Europe' instead of 'Germany'. So under Scholz, we can expect a return to the days of close Russian-German dialogue - even at the highest level."

Even the Greens not ambitious enough for the young
The younger generation has no voice in the party landscape, La Stampa notes:
"For three years the 'climate generation' has been raising its voice and is now fighting harder than ever. ... In terms of numbers, however, it is of little consequence, because of the 60.4 million voters in Germany, only 14.4 percent are younger than 30, while those over 50 make up 57.8 percent. Of these, however, less than a third believe that the wellbeing of young people should sway their vote. Annalena Baerbock's Greens will be able to count on the support of many young people. ... The new environmental movements, however, are looking further ahead. Not least because they believe that the goals set out in all the party manifestos, even that of the Greens, are not ambitious enough."

Germany will continue to steer a middle course
German foreign policy will not change no matter who becomes chancellor, LRT believes:
"It will continue to criticise states where human rights are violated and democratic procedures are disregarded, while at the same time making sure that its own interests do not suffer. ... Germany will continue to strive for better relations with neighbouring Poland and provide moral and material support to the Baltic States in the refugee crisis. ... The relationship with Russia remains pragmatic: Germany will consume Russian energy resources but criticise Russia for human rights violations. Morally and materially, it will support Ukraine [on the Crimea issue], but will also always call for negotiations with Russia over the war in Donbass."

Southern Europe better off with Scholz
An SPD-led traffic light coalition [SPD, liberal FDP and Greens] in Berlin would be better than a CDU-led Jamaica coalition [CDU, FDP and Greens] for securing and developing the eurozone, Timothy Garton Ash argues in The Guardian:
"Where the traffic-light coalition scores over Jamaica is on the eurozone. Either of these three-party coalitions would almost certainly have a hardline German finance minister in Christian Lindner of the Free Democrats. ... But a Chancellor Scholz would be more likely than the fiscally conservative Christian Democrats to show the pragmatic flexibility that will be needed not merely to prevent the eurozone from collapsing - any likely German government would do that - but to make it work better for the long-suffering economies of southern Europe."
Le Monde (FR) / 16 September 2021
After Merkel the EU must close ranks
Merkel's successor must push for reforms in the EU that the chancellor has partly resisted, sociologist Hartmut Rosa demands in Le Monde:
"What is needed is a strong EU that moves closer together in the areas of fiscal and budgetary policy, that considers the possibility of introducing euro bonds and other such instruments, and that speaks with an independent and audible voice on matters of climate and foreign policy. To counter the two major problems facing humanity in the 21st century - the climate crisis and the growing inequality between rich and poor in terms of the distribution of goods and wealth - Europe must also act decisively and adopt a clear position."

No one will change the Schäuble doctrine
Anyone hoping for changes in European fiscal policy will come up against a brick wall in Berlin regardless of the election outcome, columnist Georgios Malouchos writes in In.gr:
"All German politicians, with the exception of The Left, move apace with Wolfgang Schäuble's fiscal policy. It is the constant from which no one in Berlin wants to or will deviate, no matter what coalition emerges after the elections. Schäuble's legacy is unshakeable. A holy gospel for Germany, because it established German hegemony in Europe. Merkel is leaving now. Schäuble, the architect and 'symbol' of her era, never."

Merkel's consensus policy no longer enough
Surveys in Europe show differing views on what Germany's role in Europe should be without the current chancellor's talent for finding a consensus, writes Mladá fronta dnes:
"In a survey in twelve EU countries, a large number of respondents said they approved of Berlin's economic course. But when it comes to Germany's role as a geopolitical leader only 25 percent of Europeans voiced their support. ... Balancing 'Merkelism' has worked so far. However, it won't be enough to tackle future challenges such as the climate crisis, according to the authors of the study. Berlin needs more decisiveness and assertiveness."

Little love lost between Olaf and Mette
Der Nordschleswiger, the newspaper of the German minority in Denmark, notes that there is not much common ground between the Social Democratic candidate for chancellor Olaf Scholz and the Social Democratic Danish head of government Mette Frederiksen:
"The differences on foreigners and immigration policy are well known. But no less profound, and indeed in certain respects almost irreconcilable, are the differences on European policy, where the Danish Social Democrats will come under additional pressure if Olaf Scholz wants to increase the pace of European integration. Even with lots of red fantasising: there is no sign of a political happy ending between Olaf and Mette for the time being - despite their geopolitical proximity!"

At last some alternatives
Jens Bastian, policy advisor at the think tank Eliamep (Greek Foundation for European and Foreign Policy) writes on Macropolis:
"Merkel's all too frequent political credo was TINA politics, i.e. There Is No Alternative. In light of the challenging policy decisions that Germany faces both domestically and on the international stage, continued adherence to this principle of Merkelism is not regarded as a vote winner among a majority of the German electorate. For the first time many voters can remember, the election campaign of 2021 is offering up stark policy differences, i.e. different alternatives between the three leading parties and their respective chancellor candidates. ... It's time to show TINA politics the door and open the windows of opportunity."

Scholz the better partner for France
The Irish Times explains why an SPD chancellorship would be desirable from a Parisian perspective:
"A Scholz-led government would expand the stability and growth rulebook into a new 'sustainability pact', with proposals for an EU minimum wage and unemployment insurance. ... With a global minimum tax deal in reach, Scholz, the outgoing finance minister, is pushing for majority voting on EU tax questions, rather than current unanimity. Squint past the Élysée's diplomatic curtains and Paris believes a Chancellor Scholz would be more in tune with its pro-active, reformist president. The EU's Franco-German motor, French officials fear, would not survive another CDU chancellor with a cautious, reactive approach."

SPD candidate impervious to attacks
Gazeta Wyborcza sees a change in popularity trends after the second TV debate as highly unlikely:
"The Christian Democrat's attack on the Social Democrat came across as desperate. Nor was it surprising. The Wirecard affair has been hanging over the SPD politician for more than a year now, but it has done nothing to affect his popularity. One in three citizens sees Scholz as chancellor; with Laschet it's only one in ten. ... Voters expected that with a gun to his head Laschet would ruthlessly attack his rival. But advisors had warned Scholz in advance to remain calm in the face of attacks and not make any mistakes. And that's precisely what he did."

La Repubblica (IT) / 14 September 2021
Voters not afraid of progressive government
The conservatives' "red socks" campaign that relies on warnings of a looming leftist government fiasco will backfire, Berlin correspondent Tonia Mastrobuoni notes in La Repubblica:
"The latest polls also show that the card the CDU/CSU have been playing, the risk of a 'red wave' - a government coalition between the Social Democrats, the Greens and the Left Party - is not working. Germans either don't believe it will happen or aren't particularly worried by the prospect of a progressive government. And they seem to have understood that [SPD candidate] Scholz, who comes from the right wing of the party, has no intention of entering into an alliance with The Left party. But he must keep that option open so as not to sit weakened at the table with the liberals."

No future without the Greens
Neither the CDU nor the SPD are the right parties to tackle the challenges of climate change, Politiken insists:
"Merkel's conservative party comrade Armin Laschet suffers from the fact that his CDU has protected the scandal-plagued German car industry over the years. His Green speeches ring hollow. But time is running out. For as the Greens' candidate for chancellor Annalena Baerbock said, 'The next government is the last one that will still be able to influence climate change.' Hear hear! In this respect, she was the only one of the three candidates who looked to the future. The other two are solidly anchored in the past with their patent leather shoes. ... The Germans and the EU need the Greens in Germany's next government."
Les Echos (FR) / 12 September 2021
Fears that Germany could be too weak
The fears of Germany's neighbours ahead of the elections are very different from those that prevailed during the period of German reunification, Les Echos notes:
"Their concerns (especially those of France) are exactly the opposite of what they were 30 years ago. The fear that a too strong Germany could dominate Europe has given way to worries that a Germany under weak leaders will be incapable of playing the role expected of it in a new global geopolitical context. In other words, we've moved from fear about 'too much Germany' to fears of 'too little Germany', which would mean 'too little Europe'."
Dominique Moïsi
Le Temps (CH) / 13 September 2021
Ringier SA
Berlin must not forget its leadership role
Germany is putting too much focus on stability and national affairs in the campaign, Le Temps warns:
"There is nothing encouraging about this 'Helvetisation' of political debate in Germany. While the US is shutting itself off to defend its direct interests, and China is fine-tuning its economic and financial weapons for the post-pandemic era, Europe needs the voice and power of the Federal Republic on the international stage. Berlin must continue to move out of its comfort zone, as Angela Merkel courageously did, and plan the future with its European partners. The strongest economy in the Eurozone must also help the Old Continent get back on its feet through a strong investment policy and demands for sound fiscal management."

Is there a way to prevent my Nokia Lumia 920 (running WP8) from synchronizing contacts, calendars, emails etc with Live.com (which needs to be created in order to install apps from Store)? I would like to keep the contacts, calendars, emails etc. in the phone only and nowhere else. Thanks.
Open up Settings -> email+accounts -> your account. In there you can uncheck the items you don't want to sync and that's it!
@Andygoes: Thanks for the info, I set up a Microsoft account because it is required to use the Store, but the Microsoft account does not allow you the options to uncheck contacts and calendars synchronization. Only emails can be checked. It seems Windows Phone 8 by design will sync the phone contacts and calendars to Microsoft. Is there a way out?
If you do not want to sync your details to your email address, I would recommend resetting the handset, and then creating a Microsoft account specifically for your handset. Then add your personal email address as a separate account. This way your contacts etc will still be backed up, to the specific Microsoft acct that you created but your personal email is not effected.
After re-reading I understand you created a Microsoft account when you got this phone... There is no way to stop it syncing contacts & email. You can turn off the sync of messages/settings etc but that is all.
Sorry, Kenneth, I was going based off of my WP7 device settings. Got my 920 now and see that, indeed, you can't change those settings. I'll give a +1 to InsertName's suggestion - use the new account for purchases only and then add your other accounts. As far as I know, however, there is no way to store contacts to the device only.
Hi, I have a somehow similar situation with my WP8, when I go to Settings-> email+accounts-> my Hotmail account, the only content available for me to choose to sync, is Email. There is no option for me to choose to sync Contacts (or People) , which is the sync problem I have. ANy ideas please?
Hi - I know this thread is rather old and may not be the best place to post this, so if someone has a better location please let me know.
I am having an issue. I had an older e-mail account that I attached to my Nokia 928 (G-mail) it was a secondary account. I have deleted the account from my phone and none of the contacts from that account are on the device, except when I go to compose an e-mail from any existing e-mail account, the autofill remembers those contacts and attempts to use them. Any idea of how I can remove those contacts?
Any way to prevent contacts from being stored under Hotmail?
how to add iCloud and sync contacts/calendar/email?
How to move contacts from IPhone 4s to Lumia 900?

Department of Engineering Science
This paper modifies the Chord protocol and results in a new resource lookup protocol, the Crown protocol, which is suitable for mobile and wireless network environment. In Chord, all peers are connected to form a single ring topology, while Crown protocol adds concept of group and expands the ring to a group-ring. Besides, Crown adds a replica mechanism and a fault-recovery mechanism to strengthen the group-ring topology, and enhances the availability and reliability of resources. The group-ring concept makes the whole topology more stable when peers join or leave frequently.

This was taken a while back, not during Chinese New Year. It's their version of "Yee Sang" where it's completely not traditional at all. It's just a huge plate of salad served with Kewpie's roasted sesami, topped with soft shell crab.
Soft shell crab and deep fried fish skin. It's just a huge plate of salad to be honest, but everything goes well with roasted sesame. Thank goodness.
Likes: Overall, the food are all generally good. They were all up to expectations, only perhaps the salad yee sang that was a little too innovative - it's nothing more than just a salad. It's great to cater the Petaling Jaya crowd, where you don't have to go all the way to KL for proper Chinese 10 courses kind of dining.
Dislikes: Definitely a little too far for those who lives in KL and there are plenty of other choices in KL too so no point driving all the way here.
Ubereats makes our life so much easier. So what if my hotel doesn't want to include breakfast for free - Dancing Duck Noodle it is!
Unfortunately they do not deliver up to your hotel room so you will have to go down to the lobby to wait for your food.
I came for the hoppers. We were told to try the hoppers and curries. I thought the plain one was a bit boring and tad bit cold.
The menu was a little difficult for us - the names of each curries are very foreign to us. I can't even remember the names of it now. On a brighter note - Aliyaa is part of Entertainer 2017 so we just opted for the ones which are eligible for it.
Some fish curry which I thought was my least favourite.
We had both eggplants and this was the only item we had to order another plate because it was just so good! It's a bit oily though.
The portions are fairly small, and the prices are a little high too. The choices available for Entertainer redemption is also quite limited to only chicken, mutton and fish.
The sweet appam is a must to end the meal - the perfect dessert!!
*Without prawn/crabs, it came up to approximately RM60~RM70 per pax. Considering that Entertainer vouchers are being used as well, it's really pricey. With seafood selections you probably need to pay around RM150 per pax.... That's not inclusive of alcoholic drinks if you're planning to get a glass or two.
Likes: Good food but could be better. Food is served luke warm.
Dislikes: Service is not that great - we made a reservation a week ahead but they placed us at a table next to the toilet, upstairs for a birthday celebration. I thought they could be nicer to place us at a table downstairs since we requested it at least a week ahead. Also, the prices a quite challenging too considering that the portion is very, very small.
One for one mojito. The amount of rum in this glass is somewhat non-existent. It's a glass of sugar water and ice... Perhaps this is their happy hour quality? I don't know but it was just pure diluted.
The worst rum oyster shot I have ever had. The oyster was so unfresh we just couldn't be bothered to finish.
I could just get some cold cuts from the grocers and top it with cheese. Costs half of this price tag. Nothing special at all to be honest.
One scallop sliced into 6 small cubes. This is the scallop ceviche for you.
Possibly the only edible item on the table. It was lack of salt but bearable.
Just potato. I'd prefer fries over this anytime.
This was alright too - normal fried chicken with a nice dip.
Verdict? The food was horrible in general. For such exorbitant prices they could at least provide quality food but nah... We left hungry. Expect to fork out a minimum of RM150 per person to be able to feel full walking out of this place, without alcohol. Seriously a total rip off. We went across to Opium for food instead, as we were still hungry after all the tiny portions. Why market themselves like casual bar but serving fine dining portions and prices but quality is no different from supermarket DIY food???
Simple noodle house in Pudu. The only reason I visit is the variety - you can choose your favourite noodle and anything to go with your soup.
I once ordered them from an online platform (can't remember Ubereats if I remember correctly?) and they got our entire order wrong. So it's best to dine here.... Also, this place is too commercialised and attracts tourist more than local these days... Not really the best place for local eats. Nevertheless, decent eatery for a quick lunch.
Likes: Dry noodle. Must have it with the belacan!
This has got to be my favourite Thai fine dining by far - newly awarded one star Michelin in Bangkok ust shortly after our visit.
I wouldn't order the cocktail again though. Guess they need to work a little more on that.
Highlights from our Sunday lunch set which includes two entrees and two mains.
Watermelon, ground salmon, shallots, caviar.
Roast duck, curry paste, rice cracker.
Our mains came with rice and we were definitely full after that. If you're a big eater, consider the menu with more items... I thought this menu was just fine for two. Alternatively, you may order extras from their ala carte menu too.


In Detroit, abandoned homes are being turned into "bioretention" rain gardens. These gardens soak up storm runoff, which reduces the flow of sewage into nearby rivers and lowers the risk of street flooding during storms. Each garden will reduce stormwater runoff by 300,000 gallons every year. The gardens also sequester carbon emissions, improve water quality, beautify neighborhoods, and will be used as teaching tools for local children. Residents also reported that replacing vacant homes with gardens helped them feel safer and could improve property values.

Allow people to explore new types of thinking and link with the unconscious.
Arrange the room into a comfortable setting. Preferably people should be in a comfortable position.
You can use quiet music at the start of the exercise before introducing the topic, and at the end to get the participant's attention back to the plenary.
First reflect on the preparation of what type of setting you will provide. Make a link to the critical issue of your MSP.
Ask participants to close their eyes and make an imaginary journey. Relate to the issue by introducing a "new landscape/country/world" and ask them to dream about what happens, who they encounter, what are their feelings. For example suggest that they imagine that they are on an island, beach, forest and ask them what do they feel, smell, and hear.
Allow at least 5 minutes of silence during which people make their fantasy journey.
Bring their consciousness slowly back to the room.
When the group is small (<10) you can collect the stories from the group. In big groups: have the participants form groups of two to share their dreams and pick a few examples to share with the whole group afterwards.
