Someone built this balancing tower, so we took some pictures of it.
Dave in front of the tower. And check out our old bad-ass multi-TV set-up.... Back when my goal was "as many screens as possible". Behind Dave is a 32-or-so inch TV that we had closed captions turned on on, and to his right is our 36 inch oak-cabinet TV that we had from 1977-2001ish. We would watch that, but if you missed a line, then we would quickly dart our eyes to the left TV and see what we missed on the closed captions. On top of it is the 13-inch TV we used all through college. On top of that is an even smaller (10-inch?) TV which was hooked up to the video out of my 100-CD player.
What? Video out on a CD player? Yes, my CD player had a video out that displayed a merry-go-round-type graphic, with how much time you were into the song. And it displayed which CD you were playing. But only limited to 16 characters. And you had to type them in yourself. And it doesn't recognize the disc; youhave to put it back in the same slot, or re-type a new slot name if you put a new disc in. But it was a 100-cd changer, so there was a lot of equilibrium with most of the discs. Eventually, we stopped using the video out, and simply edited a text file (probably brought up with a 2-character BAT file command) saying what was in which slot. It turned out to be a lot easier.
And then, of course, the actual monitor to my computer (even though it was also hooked up to the TV--but the TV could be flipped to vCR or cable) sits on front of the oak TV.
This setup lasted for quite some time. And then TVs started dying. The oak one died. The other one died or moved upstairs or something. We bought a new 36-inch TV. The small red one died too. The 13-incher was put in the attic for years during our addition, and finally came out and has no purpose in life. The monitor, and it's replacement, are all, of course, used up and dead to the world. Only the one put in the attic really survived. The rest are dead. It's only 9 years later. Our house's wiring really messes with some equipment, especially older.

Nile monitors are also known to be reproducing in two areas of the state. Currently, the City of Cape Coral is removing this species where they occur on the west coast. FWC staff and our partners have been aggressively removing Nile monitors on the east coast, with over 60 removed since 2011.
A staff member from the Ministry of Agriculture looks at the locust swarm in Ceel-Gaal village, in Salal region, Somaliland.
The Ministry of Agriculture are monitoring the problem, and digging holes in which to trap the locusts.
Locusts are harmless when solitary, but become voracious when they congregate in groups and become more abundant.

I just got a great deal from the Dell Outlet on a refurb'ed monitor. It arrived this afternoon, and now I can start paying my Dell Support Dues.
The yellow page says:
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
DVI, VGA, USB, Power, or DisplayPort Cables have not been included with this replacement display.
Please retain the cables received with the original display
But this isn't a replacement display. It's a refurbished product and should come with the appropriate cables. And it did come with three cables: the three you see here, and a white booklet full of legalese in 2 languages. The problem is that one of the power cables ought to be a DVI cable.
I spent 47:06 on the phone with Dell telling four representatives about this. Each one acted like they had never heard of my case before, and did not have a CRM system to read the notes entered by the previous rep. The third rep kept insisting that the parts would all have P/N part numbers on them. Perhaps they do - invisible ones. She also insisted that since the bar code numbers on the two power cables have different numbers, they must not both be power cables. She asked me to verify that one of them wasn't really a DVI cable. Then she transferred me to the 4th person, who got my information (again) then told me she would put me on hold for 1-2 minutes. Instead she put me on hold for 3-4 minutes of silence at the end of which I got a dial tone. I don't know if they lost my call or if I'd just used up my daily quota of DELL or what.

TO VIEW sit back from your monitor 2 feet and place your index finger about 10 inches in front of your eyes and focus on your finger. This will cause your eyes to go comfortably cross eyed. Keep that same cross eyed focus and notice there are now 3 photos in the back ground. Do not let your eyes leave the cross eye as you look at the middle picture which has appeared. Now increase or decrease how much your eyes are cross eyed until the image pops into 3D. Your eyes will want to leave the cross eye, but fight that urge. This is an acquired skill and takes practice. Stop if it's uncomfortable.
During the time the North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company operated, as many as eight monitors were in use at the same time. Fashioned after Civil War cannons, the large monitors could weigh as much as 1 1/2 tons. The large monitors in the Diggins were capable of using 25 million gallons of water in a 24 hour period or over one million gallons an hour. The wooden box toward the rear of the monitor was loaded with rock to raise the barrel of the monitor and act as a counter balance created by the bucking water pressure leaving the nozzle.
The blasting power of a monitor or water cannon came from elevation drop alone. No mechanical devices were used. The water that came from a nearby resovoir exited in large pipes then graduated down in size until they reached the monitor and through a 10 inch nozzle. A large monitor would blast water at approximately 5,000 pounds per square inch, enough pressure to move a boulder the size of a small car. Different sizes of monitors had various functions. Large monitors were used to bring down the mountain, while small monitors were used to keep the debris moving down the sluice or long toms used to collect the gold and then on to the final exit point.
The miner that operated the monitor was known at the “piper.” He was paid the most for he had to know how to operate that big monster properly. If he didn’t, cave-ins occurred catching men unprepared thus causing injury and even death.
Legend has it that a miner with a dirty shovel set his tool into the stream of the water exiting from the cannon and the force of the water against the shovel moved the monitor’s aim with the greatest of ease and thus led to the invention of the ball and socket design we know today.
Monitors were made at the Joshua Hendy and the Parke and Lacy Company in San Francisco. Also monitors and hydraulic equipment were made locally in the Nevada City Foundry. The Malakoff mine pit on the San Juan Ridge is a testimony to the avarice that was part of the California gold rush, and to one of the nation's first environmental protection measures.
In 1850 there was little gold left in streams. Miners began to discover gold in old riverbeds and on mountainsides high above the streams. In 1851, three miners headed northeast of what is now Nevada City for a less crowded area to prospect. One miner went back to town with a pocket full of gold nuggets for supplies and was followed back by many prospectors. These followers, however, did not find any gold and declared the area "Humbug", thus the stream was so named "Humbug Creek". Around 1852, settlers began to arrive in the area and the town of "Humbug" sprang up. These miners could not decide how to move the dirt to a place where there was water.
By 1853 miners invented a new method of mining called hydraulic mining. Dams were built high in the mountains. The water traveled from the reservoirs through a wooden canal called a flume that was up to forty-five miles long. The water ran swiftly to the canvas hoses and nozzles called monitors waiting in the old river beds. The miners would aim the monitors at the hillsides to wash the gravel into huge sluices. Over time the monitors became bigger and more powerful. Their force was so great they could toss a fifty pound rock like a cannonball or even kill a person. Over 300 Chinese worked on this project and two Chinese settlements existed in North Bloomfield (Humbug).
In the late 1860s, the towns of Marysville and Yuba City were buried under 25 feet of mud and rock, and Sacramento flooded repeatedly. The farmers in the valleys complained about the tailings that flooded their land and ruined their crops. Thousands of acres of rich farmland and property were destroyed as a result of hydraulic mining.
By 1876, the mine was in full operation with 7 giant water cannons working around the clock. The town had grown to a population of around 2000 with various business and daily stage service.
In 1880, electric lights were installed in the mine and the world’s first long distance telephone line was developed to service the mine, passing through North Bloomfield as it made its way from French Corral to Bowman Lake.
By 1883, San Francisco Bay was estimated to be filling with silt at a rate of one foot per year. Debris, silt, and millions of gallons of water used daily by the mine caused extensive flooding, prompting Sacramento valley farmers to file the lawsuit Woodruff v. North Bloomfield Mining and Gravel Company. On January 7, 1884 Judge Lorenzo Sawyer declared hydraulic mining illegal.

Biologists Eric Robinson and Sue Murasko plot the course for flow-through monitoring on the Indian River Lagoon. Flow-through monitoring allows researchers to measure salinity, temperature and chlorophyll fluorescence (an indicator of algae biomass) in surface waters while the research boat is in transit. Although many agencies monitor water quality at fixed locations, FWC’s flow- through mapping system provides a snap-shot of water quality throughout the Indian River Lagoon system in real time.
