On stage or in studio, this kit delivers a fat, rich tone with awe-inspiring presence.
Using 1.2 mm oak plies, the Yamaha Live Custom delivers a sound with greater strength and depth, provides rich expressive power that exceeds your imagination, and features drum hardware designed with some new, innovative ideas that delivers incredible stability and reliability even in the demanding environment of the stage. Bass drum shells are comprised of 8-ply (9.6 mm) designs while tom, floor tom, and snare shells are constructed with six (7.2 mm). Oak's sound is clear and well defined with a powerful low-end that shakes your soul.
The plies of these shells are 10% thicker than the plies used in the Oak Custom, the oak plies found in these shells deliver sound with greater power on stage. A dark silver hardware finish presents a powerful image further heightened with the all black shell interiors. Additionally, YESS mounts are designed to minimize contact between the shell and the mount to deliver a wider dynamic range and longer sustain.
The drum hardware features Yamaha's exclusive Absolute Lugs, which have a sophisticated, contoured design and add a touch of class to the shells. The Dyna Hoops are 2.3mm thick and offer a tight sound and sharper response. The kick drum are equipped with updated die-cast hooks, which provide noise-free function through the use of an insertion plate. An open-type floor tom bracket includes wing bolts. It's designed to clamp tightly on the leg without damaging it, to save time on stage, and to deliver optimum decay control.
Toms and floor toms are equipped with clear Remo Emperor heads, which are known for their deep sound and great durability. Snare drum, cymbals and hardware sold separately.

Captain's ReportDesigned for the Fishing FamilyBy Capt. Robert SmithToday's family is really getting into the sport of fishing and the Smoker Craft 182 Pro Mag is designed to deliver fishability and ease of use. Since the family usually has a lot of gear to bring along, the 182 has a lot of storage to put it away. She carries a wide beam for stability and safety and has a stern livewell for bait or to keep the catch fresh all day. Starting at the bow, the 182 Pro Mag has a raised casting deck so you can see out over the fish and room for a casting chair to be added on a post. A storage bin is in the starboard side. The bow light is stowed in clips on the bottom of the lid so you don't have to rummage around looking for it when the night descends on you. There is also a livewell over on the port side in the bow so you don't have to run all the way back to the stern when the fish take your bait and you reel in an empty hook. Smoker Craft has a good idea with the cord pass-through on the front of the helm so you can keep your trolling motor batteries topped off easily. On our test boat we had a Minn Kota V2 with tethered foot control mounted on the upper deck in the bow. Heading back to the cockpit, you pass through a high full-framed windshield with center walkthrough. This model has three pedestal seats. You can move the companion and aft seat around in five different locations with one in the bow, one in the stern and three in the cockpit. I found the companion side location to be a bit close to the dash and would like to see the base further back or the seat to have a slide adjustment. In the top of the companion dash was a handy tackle box for your favorite lures. Just below, you have a large dry glove box to store wallets, licenses, sunglasses and lotions. Under the dash you have room to store some tackle boxes vertically as well as a place to mount one of the trolling motor batteries and has a snap-in cover to hide it.In the center between the helm and companion stations and in the deck of the bow casting deck is an unlit front loading rod locker. This locker has room for up to 8 of your favorite rigs and room to store more tackle boxes.The helm station is a modern design with easy to read instruments. The three spoke wheel has Sea Star hydraulic assisted steering making this rig easy to handle by anyone. Analog gauges included tachometer, speed, fuel and voltage. A Ritchie compass is on top, and our boat had a Lowrance X125 to the right to maintain a watch for fish and bottom conditions. Power switches are aircraft style paddle switches with blue lights to make identifying what is on at night easy. Room for a second trolling battery and charger is under the helm behind a snap in cover. Setting up the casting chairs leaves the cockpit wide open for work. Snap in carpet softens the floor or leave it home when fishing and make cleanup after the day a snap. The heavy duty sides also have good toe-kick space for leverage when working the fish. The oil reservoir is stored in the port box in the stern while the cranking battery is mounted in the starboard box. Between them is a huge splashwell for the Mercury 150-hp Optimax on our test rig. The livewell is fitted with a Flow Rite livewell system to keep the bait and catch lively. Flip down drinkholders are in the front of the stern wall below the casting chair.The 182 Pro Mag is 18 feet 2 inches length overall. Her beam width is a stable 96 inches with a side depth of 38 inches and interior depth of 27 inches. Her dry weight is approximately 1,425 lbs. and she is rated for a maximum capacity of 1,625 lbs. of people, engine and gear. The 182 is rated for a maximum of 150-hp outboards as tested, and has a 31 gallon fuel capacity.It was quite windy on the inland lake we tested on, but I was impressed with the quietness of the ride in this aluminum rig. She has good turning radius with little slip or blow out and still has a boost of speed when you pour on the coals near top end. I found her top speed to be about 49mph at 5500rpm and her cruise speed to be around 25.1mph at 3000rpm. At cruise, you can expect about 124 miles on a full tank.If you have been looking for a family fishing rig that is modern looking and comfortable, the Smoker Craft 182 Pro Mag sure better be on your list.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Smoker Craft 182 ProMag is 49.0 mph (78.9 kph), burning 13.8 gallons per hour (gph) or 52.23 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Smoker Craft 182 ProMag is 31.3 mph (50.4 kph), and the boat gets 4.38 miles per gallon (mpg) or 1.86 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 122 miles (196.34 kilometers).
- Tested power is 1 x 150-hp Mercury OptiMax.

MK7 Fiesta Zetec S
They have a Ding & Dents in Bristol, so I'm going to give them a call as soon as I get the time. My car goes into a service next week, so I may just ask the garage to give me a quote and if it's under £100 then I will just let them do it. I can't stop staring at the dent though, makes me want to cry :(
Thanks guys, Dings & Dents look good so I will see what they quote. £40 sounds reasonable though. I was expecting it to be about £100-£200!
Booooo Hoooooo!! Dented Car.
lmclaney posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI'm devastated as I found a dent in passenger door last night :( I just came home from a 4 hour drive and I thought I would just give my car a check as the weather was terrible. The rain had managed to clear all the dirt that had accumulated over the past 2 months but it also revealed a nasty dent in the passenger door It looks like someone has hit my car with their door. But I have no idea when it would have happened as I use various car parks every day and my car was absolutely filthy, so it might have been covered for a few weeks. The dent is probably 2 inches long and looks more like a crease. It hasn't removed any paint, but it's noticeable if you look along the body of the car in the light. Does anyone know if this can be removed and the likely cost? I'm not sure if I should go to the main dealer, as I have a service next week, or find some dent specialist? It's probably not that big, but I've been so careful for a whole year and always go out of my way to make sure I park somewhere with no cars close by. Also, my car is a lease car, so I need to get it fixed or else the leasing company will charge me an extortionate amount to fix it.
First Service
lmclaney replied to lmclaney's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubThanks guys, the only reason why I wanted to get it serviced now is because I'm moving from Bristol to London at the end of the month, so I'm hoping it will be cheaper in Bristol and I already know a good garage. I wanted to know if it was possible to do it early without voiding the warranty. I will probably try and get it done the week before I move, from the check list it sounds like it's going to take all day to service.
First Service
lmclaney posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubMy car was registered on the 3rd of March 2010, so I need to have it serviced before that date. Do you know if it's possible for me to get it serviced right now and not void the warranty or is too soon? Also, how much did you pay for your first service? This is my first new car so I have no experience dealing with servicing so any advice is much appreciated! Cheers!
Mk 7 1.6 Tdci (95Bhp) Mpg Issues, Anyone Else?
lmclaney replied to happyarthur1979's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubOf course taking my foot of the floor would help, but it's not going to give me nearly 500-600 miles from a tank! Even when I was averaging 54MPG I was only getting about 380 miles. I'm wondering if I have a problem with my car as the MPG seems very low compared to everyone that has posted.
Mk 7 1.6 Tdci (95Bhp) Mpg Issues, Anyone Else?
lmclaney replied to happyarthur1979's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubWow, how do you manage that?! I barely get 350 miles from a tank. My MPG was averaging at 50-54, but recently it's dropped to around 47-48 even though I'm still driving with my foot stuck to the floor. I have the old 1.6 TDCI, but it's only done 6000 miles.
Went to Ford today and they are going to replace the pipe tomorrow under warranty and it's supposedly a 30 minute job. Might be worth replacing before the whole thing falls off!
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but did you get this fixed or has it got worse? Yesterday I noticed a pool of oil on the engine block coming from a gap in the join between two rubber/plastic pipes. I've booked it in for a check, but I'm quite concerned!
Interior Rattles
lmclaney replied to calmcdermott's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHow old is your car? Mine rattled and squeaked a lot from the rear left of the car when new. However, I was able to dampen the noise by placing some weight on that side in the boot. But now after 7 months the rattles have disappeared completely.
lmclaney replied to greenymk7's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubOrdered mine from Shopto yesterday and it's in the Post now! I want to play it now! What is the online multiplayer like? I heard there is only 12 cars :( When the AI cars crash out, do the stay on the track side or do they disappear? BTW, Shopto only £31 compared to £40 in GAME or Play.
New Fiesta Mk7 Faults
lmclaney replied to Dave_M's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubJust to reiterate what other have said, you're always going to have the odd problem with anything mechanical. Every car on the market now will have a history of problems which customers have experienced. Most people will not have a problem, but you will always get a bad egg. Just look at the Toyota problems earlier in the year, when everyone presumed Toyota's were highly reliable. There was even a story about a dozen Ferrari's spontaneously combusting in the past few months http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/11071047 Anyway, the chances are you've just been lucky with your past cars to have no issues, so it's understandable to be worried. But really you will always have the same problem if you worry about the reliability of every car you buy. I've had mine for 6 months and so far I've only had a loose door seal, which Ford fixed in 10 minutes and it has been perfect ever since.
if you pm me your address i will post some down to you free we have hundreds at the shop. Thanks very much, PM sent :)
Ok cool, I wasn't sure if there was any legal requirement. It just looks ugly with the bare screw showing and I wasn't sure if any cap would fit. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
Number Plate Screw Caps
lmclaney posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI don't know how, but this morning whilst closing the boot one of the number plate screw caps shattered and fell off. Has anyone replaced these caps and can you recommend one to buy? I'm not sure if it's a universal size screw and then I could just buy these: Screw Caps Also, it was the yellow cap that broke, do I need to replace with the same colour? Thanks in advance! Liam

|Problem Summary
| The procmon tool allows you to look into the PIM and see what it is doing
or has done. The syntax for starting PROCMON is the same as EMSMON, the difference is PROCMON is an interactive shell.
|Error Message
|Possible Cause
|The procmon tool should be run on the active side PIM. If the listed commands are not run on the active side, they do not return any information.
|Recommended Action
|Start PROCMON with the command procmon icm PG1A pim1 where icm is your instance name, PG1A is the correct PG, and pim1 is the correct PIM for your system.
|Release 7.6(1) and Release 8.0(1)
debug - Set Tracing
|debug /on, or debug /on /level 3 will turn on the suggested default level of tracing. Levels are from 1 to 5, with 1 being the least tracing (0 actually none) and 5 being the greatest amount of tracing.
|Example output
C:\Documents and Settings\torero>procmon icm PG1A pim1 >>>>debug /on /level 3 >>>>quit
|Release 7.6(1) and Release 8.0(1)
as - Autoconfiguration Status
| The as (Autoconfiguration Status) command provides a brief summary of the auto-configuration status. Authentication Send completed means the command has completed.
Be sure to note the error count. If any errors are present you can look in the log files in C:\icm\<INSTANCE>\<PG>\logfiles, for example C:\icm\icm\pg1A\logfiles or look at the autoconfigerror.txt file which is available in C:\icm\<INSTANCE>\<PG> for example C:\icm\icm\pg1A.
|Example output
C:\Documents and Settings\torero>procmon icm PG1A pim1 >>>>as Autoconfiguration Status Information Total AutoConfiguration Errors = 0 Autoconfiguration Send completed >>>>quit
|Release 7.6(1) and Release 8.0(1)
dagent - Dump Agent
lc - List Calls
|The lc (list_calls) command displays calls that are active. For the Expert Advisor system this means all calls that had a routing dialog for, but have not yet received a CALL_TERMINATION_EVENT message.
|No Active Calls
| If there are no calls active on Expert Advisor and a lc reveals calls on
the PIM generally that means that no CALL_TERMINATION_EVENT was received for that call.
|Release 7.6(1) and Release 8.0(1)

Win a free Steepster Select tea box for September!
UPDATE: Drumroll. And the winner is…OolongLily! (http://steepster.com/OolongLily)
Thanks to everyone for participating. If you didn't win, no worries. Try again for the 2nd box here: http://steepster.com/discuss/1938-steepster-select-october-giveaway
Hi Everyone!
We wanted to start a little monthly contest to give out free boxes from our new Steepster Select Tea of the Month Club (http://member.ly/steepster-select). Each month we'll create a new contest with a new task and then randomly pick one lucky participant to receive a free tea box for that month.
To start things off, answer this question:
What theme you would like to receive in a Steepster Select tea box?
For reference, this last month was/is "teas that are great both hot and iced", but you can say anything from "teas that would be good in outer space" to "teas flavored with cardamom" – get creative with it so long as it could reasonably make for a tasty selection of teas.
As an added bonus, if we decide to actually use your theme, we'll send you that month free. Good luck!
It would be great to see a box with tea from some of the lesser-known tea-producing regions of the world. I realize this is kind of subjective…but I mean mostly nothing from China, Japan, India, Taiwan, etc.
Flavors of the four seasons… surprise fourth tea?
I'd like to see teas to tease your tastebuds.
Somewhere between the play on words and the alliteration, I think it would be fun. :)
I think a fall flavor select box would be great especially with fall just around the corner. Teas that smell like cooking with spices.
Oooh… That's difficult. "Autumn bouquet" immediately came to mind, since there are so many great teas made with flowers. But since, afaik, you can't pick 'n' choose which boxes you receive once you subscribe, I reckon you'd want to include teas with broad appeal; there are probably too many folks who don't like floral teas.
So instead I'll submit "Sugar, Spice and All Things Nice."
Ricky and C-chan, I like your submissions, too!
I like the seasonal choices and the outer space idea as well. Maybe a tea for each planet? Of course it would be a multiple edition series.
Strong teas – teas with lots of kick. mostly black with deep flavor and dark color. Like a Lapsang Souchong for example.
Mix Teas – 3 different teas that can be mixed together based on some recipes in the box. Examples would be like a English breakfast tea: Keemun, Cylon, and Darjeeling where you could take the recipe and make a cup and then customize it to your tastes.
Best on for last, Earl Gray Month! – A white, black, and a pu erh earl gray for kicks. Dont know if there is a pu erh earl gray but something off the wall and unique for the last one. And please no creamy earl gray stuff.
Let me start by saying I am not sure the feasibility of these two ideas, but you guys said be creative.
First idea: A set of teas that develop and change as they are re-steeped. I have noticed this with some of the Pu-erhs that I have, but I imagine there are other teas with this quality.
Second idea: Leaves from the same region or even plantation that are made into three different styles of tea. For example, the same leaves from a harvest are made into a white, green, and black tea. Or something similar to this. That way you could see how the curing process really changes the natural character of that region's leaf.
What kinds of tea are typically ready in September? I know I am usually looking forward to the restocking of Chinese black teas about this time of the year. What about a season's pick…more in relation to the seasons of tea than the actual seasons of Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Maybe call it a Fresh Picks or Fresh from the Farm?

Where He's Going Is Not Where He's Been
Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the first (and most high-profile) race of the 2014 season on Sunday, and joined elite company in becoming a multiple-time winner of the Daytona 500. The win puts him on top of the NASCAR world, at least for a week, and he doesn't look ready to budge from his new found heights.
Aside from his 11-year stranglehold on the title of "Most Popular Driver," Dale Jr. has rarely stood taller than the rest of the NASCAR field. His journey to this position has been one that's woven through small peaks and deep valleys, but finally appears to have ascended toward a mountain's summit.
Entering 2014, Junior had won just two races since the end of the 2006 season, when he finished fifth in the standings - and both of them were at Michigan International Speedway.
From 2007-10, he finished no better than 12th in the standings, and that included season finishes of 21st and 25th in the final standings. To put that in perspective, Danica Patrick finished 27th last year as a rookie and her performance came under a lot of fire.
Things began to turn in 2011, as Junior vaulted himself back into the Chase and finished seventh. In 2012, he snapped a 143-race winless streak and even spent time as the points leader before a concussion suffered in a wreck at Talladega cost him two races and dashed any title aspirations.
Last year, Earnhardt Jr. put together his most consistent season from a standpoint of top-10s. He registered a career-high 22 of them, but couldn't find victory lane. He finished fifth in points, his highest finish since 2006.
He entered this season with the news that it would be the final one with his crew chief, Maine native Steve Letarte. While that storm cloud on the horizon might have troubled a younger Dale Jr., it hasn't seemed to affect the experienced veteran.
During the NASCAR Sprint Media Tour, he visibly seemed as comfortable and at peace with his stature as the driver with the most pressure to succeed. He even joked about the changes to the NASCAR Chase, saying "I wasn't really excited about change that much up until a lot of change started happening, and I had to get used to it. But, now, let's change it all."
There was a time that change might have been more bothersome to NASCAR's "Most Popular Driver," but not anymore. At age 39, he just began his 15th full season in the Sprint Cup Series. After Daytona, he's now run 144,995 laps and registered 205 top-10s in 506 career starts.
The problem with his popularity is that it wasn't something that came about organically for Junior. His support was not developed by a prolonged success on the track, but the need to succeed beyond his performance has long been placed on him.
He was just beginning his second full season when his dad was tragically killed during the 2001 Daytona 500. Over the course of his career, Dale Earnhardt Sr. raced in parts of at least 27 seasons, amassing 76 race wins in 676 starts, while winning a record-tying seven Cup championships. When he was wrenched away so suddenly, his fan base needed somewhere to land and they gravitated toward the young driver with his namesake.
At the time, young Junior (age 25) had two race wins and seven top-10s in a mere 40 Cup starts. As unfair as it might seem, the weight and success of Earnhardt Nation fell on his shoulders. Fans put the responsibility on him to continue the Earnhardt Legacy. But, there was only one Intimidator and Junior would never be his father.
Thirteen years later, it's clear that Dale Jr. has accepted that simple fact. He won't win 76 races or seven championships - and he doesn't have to. Few drivers in the history of the sport will accomplish such feats, and there's no shame in coming up a little short of such legendary numbers.
As he's become comfortable with his own identity, Junior has become comfortable racing with his own style. It was clear last year when he finished tied for second in top-10s that he'd found a consistency that had been lacking in previous years.
Winning at all costs might have worked for The Intimidator, but in the case of Earnhardt Jr., that wasn't the case. Especially in today's NASCAR environment that features noticeable parity in equipment and a deep talent pool of drivers, Junior needed to learn to make the most of the car with which he was provided on any given day. He also needed faith that with consistency, the wins would eventually follow.
On Sunday, Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s perseverance paid off its debt. Not only did he win the unexpected primetime event under the lights, but he led the most laps. Like any strong driver/crew chief tandem, Earnhardt Jr. and Letarte worked to produce the best car on the track over the latter part of the race.
Even when he inadvertently got a large piece of debris stuck on his grille during the final caution, Dale Jr. was unaffected by the possibility that his engine might overheat. He pulled away on the last green flag and left little doubt over the final two laps that he would be the winner of the 56th "Great American Race."
Afterward, he was hanging out of his car and saluting fans before heading to victory lane to hug every hard working member of his crew. He didn't look like someone thankful to have held up the family name, or someone relieved to have found victory lane for the first time in a year and a half. He just looked like someone exuberant and ready to get after it all in 2014.
So, where does he go from here?
Other than on to Twitter, where @DaleJr has started showing a more personal side of his existence with a series of smiling selfies ...
It's certainly not backwards (even if that's the direction he was driving in his victory lap). Earnhardt Jr. appears to be someone with poise and ability to contend for a championship. Despite the optimism of Junior Nation over the years, that likelihood has been rare for Junior over his career.
It's too early to start crowning him as the champion. But the new NASCAR Chase format all but guarantees he'll at least be one of the 16 contenders come September. At which point, if he keeps racing with the enthusiasm and ability that he showed in Daytona on Sunday, perhaps then it might be time to see if the crown fits.

You know.... if there's such a thing as re-incarnation, I must have had a previous life as a 19th or early 20th Century British woman.
I kid you not.
I mean... it totally explains my love of Jane Austen and my love of any British period piece television series or miniseries, such as Downton Abbey and Cranford.
I'm totally obsessed with anything remotely related to Queen Victoria of Great Britain.
Sherlock Holmes is my hero. Yeah, he pretty much rocks......
Anyway, I also love paper crafts... which I think were pretty popular during that period. I thought I'd make a cute paper heart garland for Valentine's Day.
Here's what I did...
You're going to need three different patterns of 12 x 12 paper (2 pieces for your base and 1 of each for the second and third layer), ribbon, and knitting thread (optional). I found this Martha Stewart knitting yarn at my local craft store and had to buy it. I loved how it sparkled!
You'll also need three heart cookie cutters, all in different sizes. A pencil for tracing, scissors for cutting, a hole punch, and double sided tape.
On the back of the base paper, trace the largest heart cookie cutter. Trace the medium and small heart on the backs of the other papers. Cut them out.
Layer and tape the hearts onto each other. Use the hole punch to punch a hole toward the top of the hearts for hanging.
Cut about 8 or 10 inches of ribbon or knitting thread. Pull it through the hole and tie the hearts onto a longer piece of ribbon. I knotted the knitting thread onto the longer piece of ribbon and then cut the excess off. I did this so the hearts wouldn't slide around when I went to hang the garland.
Perfect for some Valentine's Day decor!

HHMI: Catalyst for Discovery
Our HHMI community cultivates an ethos of excellence. We think in generations – and we want the next generation of science to be more vibrant and inclusive than today. We see potential for significant changes in academic culture, from science education to the research environment. We're committed to experimenting with new approaches to achieve progress and sharing what we learn along the way.
We believe HHMI has unique opportunity to respond meaningfully to today's challenges – in the scientific community, in classrooms, and in the public arena.
To ensure that we use HHMI's resources for maximum impact, we've established four core priorities to guide our decisions over the next five to ten years:
Discovery Science
Significant new knowledge cannot be supplied on demand – it unfolds over time, through exploration, experimentation, and rigorous debate.
HHMI catalyzes discovery in basic biomedical research, generating knowledge about the structure and function of living systems at the level of molecules, cells, behaviors, and interactions, with potential to benefit humanity. We place big bets on curious and ambitious researchers, supporting them with generous and flexible funding for significant periods of time, subject to rigorous periodic scientific review.
As one measure of success, to date, 28 current or former HHMI scientists have been awarded a Nobel Prize. We take our responsibility as a major supporter of discovery science seriously and look to make maximum impact, particularly at a time in which many funders are shifting toward more applied research. Read more >
Diversity and Inclusion in the Scientific Workforce
HHMI's research labs, like many others, do not reflect the demographic diversity of the U.S. population. As a result, we miss talent that we otherwise might have in science. That's a problem – not only socially, but also scientifically. We want to find the best solutions to difficult problems. To do that, we need the varying perspectives of people who come from different races, ethnicities, genders, training backgrounds, and more. Read more >
Public Engagement
The sustained excellence of our nation's science, and its proper role in society, depends upon a public that understands the importance of science – its process, as well as its payoffs. To value science, the public needs good and compelling information.
HHMI has established a leading position in public engagement as an organization with both a deep understanding of biological science and education and professional media production capabilities. HHMI has the potential for significant positive impact on a national scale. Two elements essential to making that impact are powerful partners and powerful content. Read more >
Healthy Academic Ecosystem
Federal and state funding for higher education has tightened considerably in recent years, creating a hyper-competitive academic research environment. Researchers confront pressure to constantly pursue multiple grant opportunities, demonstrate research impact by publishing in a handful of highly selective journals, and protect their data, rather than share information for the betterment of science. At the same time, they are not rewarded for taking time to teach, mentor, and serve the scientific community.
These trends contribute to a systemically unhealthy academic environment, impeding the exploratory nature of discovery science and threatening the quality of U.S. biomedical research. We believe HHMI has an opportunity to collaborate with other scientific leaders to address these issues in concrete ways. Read more >
Our Janelia Research Campus has announced several strategic changes.

Sudan: Floods - Jul 2014
In Sudan, heavy rains from July to September 2014 led to flash flooding, which affected more than 266,000 people in 13 states (OCHA, 9 Sep 2014). According to the Ministry of Health of Sudan (MoH), 39 people were killed and 204 injured. Widespread destruction was caused to people's homes, crops and public infrastructure. The flood-affected population's access to water supply and sanitation services were also disrupted. (IFRC, 3 April 2015)
Affected countries
Most read reports
Snapshot 28 January – 3 February 2015
DRC: 30,000 refugees have fled CAR for Equateur province since December. In North Kivu, 18,000 new IDPs need humanitarian assistance; another 21,000 are in need in South Kivu. Nationwide, food security is worsening: over one-third of territories are in Crisis or Emergency phases.
Snapshot 21-27 January
Nigeria: Boko Haram attacks continue, with Borno state capital Maiduguri and nearby military bases targeted on 25 January. Security forces pushed BH back from Maiduguri, but further attacks are expected. BH also raided villages in Michika local government area, Adamawa state. There are reports that BH has forbidden the use of vehicles in areas under its control.
Snapshot 14–20 January
Cameroon: 50,000 people are estimated displaced due to the recent increase in Boko Haram (BH) attacks in the northern regions. In the past week, an attack on a military base in Kolofata resulted in 143 BH killed, subsequently, BH kidnapped 80 people from one village – with three killed and 24 later released. The conflict has escalated regionally, with Chad pledging military support in Cameroon's fight against Boko Haram.
Nigeria: Violence has escalated significantly in the northeast. Boko Haram killed more than 2,100 people in the first 11 days of the year. Most were killed in an attack on the town of Baga and surrounding settlements in Borno state, on Lake Chad. Up to 20,000 people were displaced. Other attacks took place in Maiduguri, Damaturu, and Potiskum.
Snapshot 12–18 November
Ethiopia: Waters have begun to recede from Leitchuor refugee camp in Gambella, but few refugees have returned to the camps so far, where alarming rates of severe malnutrition persist: 5.7% in Leitchuor, 7.8% in Kule, and 10% in Tierkidi. In SNNPR, flooding was reported, while in Oromia, water trucking has begun for populations affected by drought.
DRC: A resurgence of ADF-NALU attacks in North Kivu are thought to have displaced 100,000 people, and killed at least 80. In South Kivu, there has been a significant increase in IDPs, mainly due to insecurity in Shabunda and Fizi territories. 7.3 million people across the country are estimated to be food insecure.
Ebola in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea: As a three-day countrywide shutdown came to an end in Sierra Leone, the UN Security Council set up a special mission to lead the global response to the Ebola outbreak. More than 5,800 cases have been reported since the beginning of the outbreak, including 2,800 deaths, and more than 13.5 million people are now considered in need of assistance as the impact of the epidemic spreads.
Ebola in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea: Transmission remains high, and case numbers doubled between the last week of August and the first of September in Liberia; in Sierra Leone 150 cases were reported for each of the last two weeks. Fewer cases have been reported in Guinea – 49 between 5 and 7 September – but the case fatality rate has been extremely high, at 65%.
Snapshot 13-19 August
Yemen: The 9 August Al Jawf ceasefire has been broken. Access to people affected by the conflict in Al Jawf is extremely limited due to persistent insecurity, and it is very difficult to obtain information. Almost 3,000 people have died in violence since the National Dialogue Conference took place on 25 January.

I was sorting through a stack of old Time Magazines yesterday when I come across these two:
One issue is from 1966, the other from 1967. Nothing special about these two, but they felt a little off, like the stapled binding had come loose. When I opened the first one up:
Very clever.
The other issue:

|Line 103:
When someone has time, this could be replaced with a page on openmoko.org with a more specific explanation of how why freedom is essential for mobile phones and mobile computing, and what benefits this leads to. [[User:Ciaran|Ciaran]] 23:22, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
When someone has time, this could be replaced with a page on openmoko.org with a more specific explanation of how why freedom is essential for mobile phones and mobile computing, and what benefits this leads to. [[User:Ciaran|Ciaran]] 23:22, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Revision as of 11:51, 7 May 2009
Page goal
I think the functions should be limited to:
1. Orient visitors, as a large fraction of them enter by this page (bookmarkability). We separate between newcomers, users and developers, so 3 boxes here.
2. Announce news and upcoming events. One box.
--MinhHaDuong 10:29, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Earlier Page Design
Earlier page design was a lot better than the current state. Why we changed to this one. We are missing so much here. Specially the new visitors wont be able to get to the all the content that this Wiki has to offer.
Please revert --Kunaldeo 07:22, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback! The wiki maintainers team have agreed that there was too much content on the main page, so we removed much of the content for developpers. Could you please tell us what you are missing on this page? Is there some specific content you would like to see here? We will probably be able to add it in again. --Marko Knöbl 12:55, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- I can figure out everything, but I feel The complete intro section was very useful "Introduction to Openmoko,Meet the original core team, Software Distributions New Framework Initiative License, Why Openmoko?" --Kunaldeo 17:18, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- I added a link to Why Openmoko in the "New to Openmoko?" box. I think this is a useful page, thanks for pointing this out! Please note that most of the section "Introduction to Openmoko" and the link to "Software Distributions" are still present. On the mailing list some have said that the contents of "Meet the original core team" and "license" are too specific for content of the main page, and I agree with that. I can't say anything about "New Framework Initiative" as I'm not a developer. Probably someone else can check if a link to this page is useful? --Marko Knöbl 20:48, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Design notes
Please try to keep these elements in the top part of the screen (above the fold): Page title, motto, welcome statement, objective project definition, product picture, search box (not there yet !).
Please try to keep also on the page (not necessarily above the fold): links to other official information sources (trac, mailing lists, etc.), language chooser, more elaborated mission statement (historical overview), philosophical position, top level navigation within the wiki.
--MinhHaDuong 10:29, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Please keep the language chooser on the top of the page.
Consider that not all the people in the world are familiar with English. An only-English wiki is considered as an index of a poor project. Please read my comment on the Translation point.
Thank you
--Panta 22:59, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
2007.2 link
In the software categories The link to the 2007.2 distribution goes to a picture of the software stack. That is not very appealing. Maybe this link should point to a software description (as the link to ASU, FSO, Qtopia does).
--Feydreva 11:20, 1 August 2008 (ET)
- Thanks for pointing this out! I changed the link. --Galadh 22:23, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
The Nav bar on the left is out of date, incorrect and has duplications.
Software is linked to a Developers page? There are two community links/ There is a Press Coverage on the left and in the new part What exactly is Technical, the whole site is technical.
There are many more items that make the nav bar on the left confusing, unproductive, incorrect and it needs to be fixed or wacked. Brenda seems to be attached to it or afraid to change it as this has come up before and all we got were lame excuses as to why it is like it is.
Please change it or remove it.
- I've made a few suggestions to the sidebar on its talk page. I think this discussion is probably best kept there. --KB Jørgensen 19:11, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
The continuous updating of pages result as an impossible-to-solve game to people who likes to localize wikie's pages.
Also, people visiting the site, may find outdated pages, thinking the project is dead or not so alive.
Please, consider to use a translation friendly wiki like anwiki (www.anwiki.com) used for build Ulteo's site (www.ulteo.com).
Alternatively, you can consider to find a way to comunicate to guests and translators if a page is outdated or not and put a link to the right english page.
Thank you and excuse my poor english: I can assure you I speak a more correct italian ;) --panta 11:17, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
I have added language Hindi in the template, but its not getting reflected here. --Kunaldeo 08:39, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
It takes a while for template changes to propagate, the mediawiki engine is not completely synchronous. MinhHaDuong 10:46, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Love the new design!
Looks great!
Link to Jokes
I think the link to Jokes does not fit the box "New to Openmoko?". People who are new to this project won't get most of these jokes. May I delete this link? --Marko Knöbl 11:20, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
I deem the link frontpage worthy because humor a good way to go deeply to the heart of things that can hardly be said otherwise (but not sidebar worthy of course it is not an essential navigation page). I added the link in that box because it belongs somewhere visible and I had no idea as to where else to put it, so any alternative placement suggestion should be considered. And it is true that even I don't get all the jokes, but newbies should get about half of them if they have the geek hacker subculture. What do you other guys think ? MinhHaDuong 14:57, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your explanation! If we really want this on the main page I'd rather put it into the "for Users" box under "Openmoko community". Would that be okay? --Marko Knöbl 13:02, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
- I've just moved it. I hope it's okay.--Marko Knöbl 09:53, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Boasting freedom
I think it would be a good idea to provide a link near the top where people can learn more about the 'freedom' that's boasted about. Many site visitors (including GNU/Linux users) will not be aware of the benefits and importance of what we mean by "freedom" for software users.
Descripts of "rebuild the house" and linking "open source" to a page about getting source code are ways to get programmers interested, but I think it would be very unlikely for a non-hacker visitor to openmoko.org to discover how giving source code to hackers helps them, and why software freedom affects their lives.
The no-work way to fix this would be to make the big word "free", or an eary mention of "freedom", a link to an existing explanation such as gnu.org's[1] or FSFE's.[2]
When someone has time, this could be replaced with a page on openmoko.org with a more specific explanation of how why freedom is essential for mobile phones and mobile computing, and what benefits this leads to. Ciaran 23:22, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Emotional Lorraine makes final TV3 broadcast
'XPOSE' frontwoman Lorraine Keane fought back tears as she left TV3's studios for the last time yesterday after announcing her shock resignation on Tuesday after more than a decade at the network.
"Saying goodbye to all my pals makes it very difficult," she told the Irish Independent last night. "But I know I'm making the right decision and I'm making it for all the right reasons. But it's just saying goodbye to all my other family that's difficult," she said.
"I have mixed emotions. I made the decision. I didn't do it on a whim. I've thought about it for a while."
Lorraine is looking forward to spending time with her two young daughters aged two and five. She added that despite interviewing some of Hollywood's leading A-listers, she won't miss the glamour of the job.
"I've been doing it for a long time and I'm kind of looking forward to trading in my stilettos for Ugg boots." Lorraine also paid an emotional farewell to viewers as she gave her final sign-off last night.
"That is all from 'Xpose' tonight, and indeed, me on 'Xpose'. This is my last show so I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all my producers, my co-presenters, all the crew and indeed all my colleagues in TV3 for their support and friendship over the years, but especially, to you the viewers for tuning in each night."

A quaint and fanciful piece of music. The Whimsical Whimsy tells the story of Mr. Whim from Whimslyshire. He's an impulsive, illogical and downright baffling chap. Everything he does seems to be unusual and somewhat odd. He's ever so playful and likes to do his silly business, often in the most tasteless way possible. Always one for pulling a prank or a joke with his happy, childlike sense of humour. He owns the local sweet shop…selling delicious treats, chocolate and candy to all the little boys and girls. That's old Mr. Wally Whim!
This is a happy, charming and pleasant piece of fun music. Telling a wacky, sunny story to make kids smile. Suitable for animation work, games and children's programming. It has a hint and faintest whiff of the Thomas the Tank Engine theme about it I guess without being a copy or pastiche.

UK Testing Speed Cameras From Space? Not Exactly, But Still Troubling
from the big-brother-phone-home dept
As we've discussed before, plate capture technology has been shown to be abused in the UK, so any system that further proliferates the use of these cameras is cause for concern. After all, the main benefit of this new system is that it allows a camera to be quickly deployed virtually anywhere. As a result, those looking to avoid known camera installations will have a harder time, once these become more commonplace. So, while this is not a full blown "Big Brother in space" implementation, it does exacerbate an already troubling situation.

Vena: was thinking Mykage just outright misled Izumo, or didn't tell him. Like it's a supposed to be a secret that Izumo had a kid with Alisia, so Izumo's not going to talk to Mykage about it ("oh hey, your wild boy, is he that kid I wasn't supposed to have with Alisia..."). Clearly Alisia didn't bring her kid with her, and it's not like Alisia's in a position to say anything, either, ). So then Mykage can introduce Kagura as some wild child he found wandering around near his fortress of fabulous solitude ("his mother must've disappeared with the other women, it's so sad..."), and Izumo never made the connection. (Plus, no one ever expects their long-lost son to be a jerky beastman .).
And on the other topic:
Spoiler for Kagura/Mikono again:

I don't think Izumo has a kid, I think he's just in love with the beauty in the glass (so to speak). Remember, we have the back of that *guy's* head in one of the flashbacks that really, really looks like the back of Amata's head. Just compare the the hair styles, its eerily similar. Is it Amata's dad? Is it Amata who is, somehow, not aging and his memories have been re-written into something preferable for, I don't know, Fudo?

I'm going to step away from the Kagura/Amata spec because its far too vague, and we're just going to run in circles.
Instead, here's one more peculiarity from this last episode.

Vena: I was asking you how much there was (or wasn't) about projections, spirit bodies, etc., but it seems like the original series didn't have them *that* powerful. Some kind of split or "sundering" might've happened (and guess who's generally good at undoing what's been done, and who's specifically good at (re)creating connections...)...but I'm dropping it too now, unless shocking new evidence comes to the table.

I'm not sure why, I had this moment of glee when Apollonius was mentioned. But I did, and the fact this his Solar wings still exist, made me extra happy.
Alright, now about the book of Genesis.
I see it in the OP all the time, and I'm pretty sure I've heard Fudo mention it.
The only legend mentioned in the book of Genesis is that of Apollonius and Celianne.
Was Apollo's and Sylvia's history written down there too?

Historical comment: The shift from Apollo and Sylvia to Apollon and Sylvie is not surprising. After all, we call Alexander III of Macedon "Alexander the Great" not Alexandros Megas as the ancients would. Aquarion Evol has maintained that there has been some lingustic shift in the last 12,000 years. Letters have changed (font only on screen) and ancient books are unintelligible to modern readers (Andy) but can be read without difficulty by a person of high school / college level education in ancient languages (Mix). Apollon and Sylvie could be simple linguistic shift, although I really make no conclusions as to how many layers of historical inaccacuries have been heaped onto the tale in the intervening 12,000 years.

Kagura's element described by zen was something like darkness that swallows light if you reverse that it is light born from darkness basically the light of genesis, the big bang. Power of apollonius/apollo. Now if kagura can apply the reverse power on himself then he would be apollo.

Here's a blog from our 2013 Emerging Talent Competition winners, Bridie Jackson & The Arbour, whose prize was a slot at this year's Festival…
Sunday 21st July
Sunday 30th June
Bridie – Sunday morning was our show at The Avalon stage, and also our last gig of the Festival. Just before going on stage we saw Bruce Forsyth arriving with his entourage! The crowd were fantastic, and we were very happy to see someone in the front row who knew all the words to our last single, Scarecrow.
Carol – The promise of a free CD found a crowd swamping our merch men/women. We're sure we spotted Brucie in there … after all, the price was right!
Rachel – In between our own performances, we've all thoroughly enjoyed seeing lots of fantastic bands play and experiencing all the amazing areas of the Festival. Musical highlights for us have included The Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Alt-J, Amanda Palmer, Daughter, Everything Everything, Francois & The Atlas Mountains, Mad Dog McRae, and some smaller bands on the Bandstand including Hot Feet and the Duckworths…
Carol – We've also had on our fame-dar, spotting the likes of Fatboy Slim, Howard Marks, Jodie Kidd, Mitch Benn and many more, disappointingly getting all fired up over 'spotting' Bez from the Happy Mondays – we had the wrong guy, but a good doppleganger!
The size of the site, the diversity of the crowds, the areas to visit and explore, the wonderful sights, sounds and smells, the food, the art, the street performances and all the surprises that await you around every corner and turn of the head make Glastonbury an awe inspiring experience for any first-timer. Our journey was made even more amazing by the process that has found us here.
Bridie – Now we are all back home, exhausted but elated. We all want to say thank you so much to the production and transport teams who were so helpful, everyone that came to see us, and most importantly to The Glastonbury ETC team – we have had the time of our lives!
Saturday 29th June
Bridie – Saturday was our prize winning slot at The Acoustic stage, and it was a really lovely gig; great to see so many Newcastle faces in the crowd supporting us.
Jenny – We didn't know how many people to expect or who would drag themselves out of bed to watch an early performance, so it was amazing peeping out of the curtains just before going on stage to see a crowd rushing to the front of the tent to see us!
Carol – Backstage at The Acoustic was all 'Alice In Wonderland' with lots of nibbles with tags begging us to 'Eat Me' or 'Drink Me'. We obliged. There was no sign of the Cheshire Cat though but we were grinning enough to make him look like a prize gurner!
Friday 28th June
Bridie – By Friday thankfully the sun had come out again and in the afternoon we were driven to The Bandstand stage for an interview with BBC Look North and our first public performance, which was great fun. Someone in the crowd filmed Prolong, our new single, and put it up on Youtube, rather brilliantly calling us Bridie Jackson & The Airbox. Perhaps a rename is on the cards…
Carol – Oh, and it snowed that evening over the Greenpeace area. Beautiful, surreal and magical.
Thursday 27th June
Bridie – On Thursday morning we scrambled our way up to Worthy FM for a live session and interview with the lovely Steve Bilsborough, who compered on the night of the Glastonbury ETC. It was grand to see him again and talk through the rather amazing few months we've had since winning the competition.
Carol – During our quietest song Michael Eavis did a fly by in his fighter jet. At least we think it was him!
Rachel – On Thursday afternoon the rain started, giving us good reason to get out and about in our glamorous wellies – it wouldn't have felt like a proper Glastonbury without a bit of rain and mud!
Jenny – In the evening we battled through the elements, loaded ourselves into the back of a battered old van, and were deposited at the Interstage area behind the Pyramid (much like the Rolling Stones' experience of arriving I'm sure), where we performed as part of The Opening Number, a backstage event put on by Greenpeace for some of the Glastonbury performers and crew. While we were there we bumped into our chum Dermot O'Leary, who was kind enough to do an interview for our Glasto documentary, with an unusual twist to it, and we even managed to ensnare a rather bemused Caroline Flack to join in!
Wednesday 26th June
Bridie – We all arrived on site at various points on Wednesday, along with our entourage of husbands, sisters, boyfriends and our friend AB, who is making a documentary of our time at Glastonbury.
Once we were all on site, had erected and admired each other's tents, and had shared a celebratory bottle of champagne, we went on a bit of a reccy, led by Jenny, who is something of a Glasto veteran and, luckily for the rest of us, knows her way around. We had a look round the different stages we would be playing on, arriving just in time to see a glitter ball the size of a house being put up in the Acoustic Tent! Initially, being on site was rather overwhelming, but as we got to know the site we started to really enjoy ourselves…
23rd June, 2013
So, we are back up North after a very enjoyable trip to London to appear on Dermot O'Leary's Radio 2 show. Anyone that missed it can listen on the link below. If you pay great attention, you might even catch Dermot O'Leary's dulcet tones singing along to the chorus of our Justin Timberlake cover, at about two and a half hours in…
Highlights of the day include; Swapping anti-histamines with the wonderful star of Peepshow, Isy Suttie, Lisa Tarbuck openly swooning over our harmonies as she walked past during a rehearsal, and Bridie winning two toys from the E claw at Watford gap services on the way home. An excellent trip all round.
22nd June, 2013
So, today, we are in heading to London in our trusty Arbourmobile to play a set for Dermot-apostrophe after the- O'Leary, on his award winning radio two show. As well as having a chat, and playing our latest single, 'Scarecrow' we will also be debuting an R and B flavoured cover that we've had a bit too much fun putting together. All will be revealed soon…
14th June, 2013
Evening everyone,
So, it's been a couple of months since we won the won The 2013 Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition and I think it's fair to say, we have'nt quite stopped pinching ourselves yet. However, we discovered recently that we are on the official Glastonbury App, so there is no disputing it! For anyone remotely interested, here are our stage times;
Thursday, 11.00am. Worthy FM
Friday 4.00pm. The Bandstand
Saturday 11.50am. Acoustic Tent (Prize Slot)
Sunday 11.30am Avalon Stage
The night of the competition (Which was also Bridie's 30th birthday) was a very fun and relaxed affair, largely due to the amazing ETC team and the great attitude of the bands involved. The music played , the cider was plentiful, and by the time Martin Elbourne announced the result, it's fair to say we were a little unprepared for the news. In fact, we were joyfully partying in the back of the room, and Bridie actually toppled over (Xfactor style) in sheer surprise. Good times…
Since then, it's been a hectic few months in Arbour towers. Amongst other things, we've been gigging, recording our new single, and putting on our own festival, (The Walled Garden Festival) and ofcourse, preparing for our Glastonbury excursion with great excitement…

Trucking accounting software, also known as transportation accounting software, is used by fleet management companies to integrate various accounting and transportation-specific tasks, including:
We've created this guide to help prospective buyers in the trucking industry evaluate the various accounting products on the market and choose the best solution for their business.
Here we'll cover:
What Is Transportation Accounting Software?
Common Features of Trucking Accounting Software
Evaluating Transportation and Trucking Accounting Software
Market Trends to Understand
Trucking companies have specialized needs when it comes to accounting. Not only do they need to manage their books, bill and invoice clients and manage equipment depreciation, but they also have to keep track of inventory, heavy machinery and extensive travel for their drivers.
Therefore, aside from standard accounting features like general ledger, accounts payable and accounts receivable, these accounting systems will have freight, per-mile and other transportation-specific pricing, and will support driver and vehicle tracking, reservations and dispatch and mobile solutions to facilitate driver-dispatcher communication.
Aside from standard accounting features like general ledger and accounts payable/receivable—the inventory, heavy machinery and extensive travel associated with transportation and trucking presents unique challenges and needs. Software dedicated for this industry will have freight, per-mile and other transportation-specific pricing, and will support driver and vehicle tracking, reservations and dispatch and mobile solutions to facilitate driver-dispatcher communication.
Look for the following features in a transportation or trucking industry accounting software program:
|Core accounting
|"Core accounting" is an umbrella term that encompasses the basic accounting functions required to run a business. This includes general ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable and bank reconciliation.
|Fixed assets
|Fixed assets include any machinery and facilities owned by a business and in operation for longer than a year. Systems help manage inventory, tax compliance, insurance costs and track depreciation for trucks and other fleet equipment.
|Expense management
|Allows drivers to capture business expenses due to travel (including mileage, lodging, food etc.), create expense reports and submit claims to management for reimbursement.
|Financial reporting
|Automates the process of running financial reports including expense reports, profit and loss (P&L) statements and balance sheets. Increases transparency into financial records and allows for more accurate data tracking.
|An integrated payroll module can help track driver expenses, wages and benefits and simplify tax preparation. Features such as direct deposit help streamline the payment process so employees are paid promptly and the wages are available for immediate use.
|Safety and compliance
|Between fuel taxes and other surcharges and restricting driver hours, transportation software helps improve compliance in this heavily regulated industry. This includes driver qualification, physicals, drug screens, MVRs, remedial action and flags to the dispatcher for drivers not in compliance.
|Fleet maintenance
|The Department of Transportation—as well as the business itself—wants every accident and maintenance detail to be reported. Fleet management modules make it easy to report accidents, process claims, schedule repairs and routine maintenance and track the value for tax and financial management purposes.
|Reservations, routing and dispatch
|Software designed specifically for the transportation industry usually includes dispatching capabilities, which allow the user to integrate load orders, plan routes, optimize trips and estimate costs to support rate quoting. Additional modules like flight tracking can provide estimated plane departure or arrival times, and passenger vehicles like airplanes or limousines will benefit from a reservation system that can manage customer profiles, send email confirmations and even accept online requests.
|Mobile solutions
|Mobile solutions are critical for effective communication between the drivers and the corporate office. Mobile features for transportation and trucking will let the dispatcher send orders, pickup and delivery information and route maps to the drivers' smart phone or onboard GPS. Then, trip/freight status can be electronically sent back to the dispatcher (with GPS verification), while the driver uses a smart phone to scan and send load documents and trip reports.
Various fleet management organizations use transportation accounting software, including:
Transportation accounting software automates many of the dispatching and fleet management tasks, freeing up your drivers' and dispatchers' time. When selecting your software, then, the first thing to consider is any frustration employees experience at routine or mundane tasks, as well as the places you're spending money that's not directly producing revenue.
Specific questions to ask when evaluating these systems are:
Answering these questions will help you narrow down the list of trucking accounting products and focus on those best suited for your business.
For example, if you're a taxi or car service company and your clients are the cargo, you'll want to look for a transportation accounting solution with a passenger app. This will allow clients to hail a taxi from their smartphone, but will also allow passengers to pay through the app when the ride is over. This reduces ride-theft and streamlines the payment process.
If you manage a shipping company, you may want to consider a system with telematics capabilities. Telematics software records data on your employees driving habits, including average speeds, fuel usage and braking tendencies. This can provide you with insights into traffic routes and fuel costs, helping you to cut expenses and encourage good driver behavior.
Prospective buyers should keep the following market trends in mind as they evaluate trucking accounting solutions:
BYOD: The practice of allowing employees to use their personal mobile devices for work-related tasks (i.e., laptops, smartphones and tablets) instead of corporate-issued technology is having a profound impact across industries. While helping to cut IT spending on hardware, critics have raised concerns about possible security issues. As the trucking industry is especially reliant on mobile devices and applications, it's an interesting trend to consider and fleet managers should carefully weigh the pros and cons before deciding on a course of action.
On-demand truck services: Also known as "Uber for trucking," these apps help connect shippers with licensed carriers. The shippers gain access to trucks and GPS services and carriers can fill the empty space in their trucks and reduce the number of "empty" miles a trucker drives. Read more about this service here (fourth idea from the top).
Apps for truckers: Mobile applications aimed at the transportation field are having a big impact on the industry. These include alternative maps apps, such as Path Pro, that target truckers, highlighting weigh stations, rest areas and other trucker-specific locations of interest; KeepTruckin that helps users track miles and time they are driving to stay in line with government regulations; and, NOAA Radar that helps keep drivers informed of weather patterns in their areas.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

An intoxicated sailor passed out, and his boat ran aground off the coast of Laguna Beach Sunday afternoon, Coast Guard officials said.
The keel of the 28-foot sloop was lodged in sand and rocks outside the surf line of Main Beach as of 10 p.m. Sunday, officials said, with its mast listing slightly.
Officials do not expect the vessel to break up, and there is no indication of oil or fuel leakage, Coast Guard Lt. Sean Arumae said.
Laguna Beach police received a report of the boat stuck offshore around 3:40 p.m. Orange County Sheriff's Department Harbor Patrol and Laguna Beach lifeguards responded to the sailboat, and sheriff's deputies pulled the man off the boat, Arumae said.
"He was so extremely intoxicated that he was passed out," he said.
The man was arrested and booked into the Laguna Beach jail on suspicion of boating under the influence of alcohol. His name was not immediately available, but officials said he was from San Diego and 47 years old. He was alone on the boat and unhurt, officials said.
Vessel Assist, a company that aids distressed boaters, is handling the salvage operation, Arumae said. He added that the sailor's insurance likely will cover the bill.
The plan Sunday night was to wait until the next high tide, at about 5 a.m., and then to tow the boat to Dana Point Harbor, where it would be inspected for damage.

Obama Says Russia Violating International Law
President Barack Obama says Russia is "on the wrong side of history" in Ukraine and its actions violate international law.
Obama told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday that the United States is considering economic and diplomatic options that will isolate Russia. The president called on Congress to work on an aid package to Ukraine and make it the "first order of business."
Obama said continued military actions in Ukraine "will be a costly proposition for Russia."
European Union leaders called a special summit for Thursday, where they are expected to freeze visa liberalization and economic cooperation talks with Russia if Moscow hasn't taken steps to calm the crisis in Ukraine's Crimean peninsula.
EU foreign ministers said they also have stopped preparation for the G8 summit which is set for June in the Russian resort of Sochi.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said the EU would give Russia until the Thursday show clear signs of goodwill, including a willingness to open talks and a withdrawal of Russian troops to their barracks in the Crimea.
"The ambition is to see the situation improve. If it doesn't, then the course is set," Ashton said after the foreign ministers' meeting.
She said she will meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday in Madrid.
The ambassadors of NATO's 28 member nations will hold a second emergency meeting on Ukraine Tuesday after Poland invoked an article calling for consultations when a nation sees its "territorial integrity, political independence or security threatened," the alliance said in a statement.
At the EU meeting, many foreign ministers stressed the immediate focus should be on diplomacy and promoting direct dialogue between Russia and the new leadership in Ukraine.
The EU is Russia's biggest trading partner, and Russia is the EU's third-largest partner, mostly thanks to exports of raw materials such as oil and gas.
Economic sanctions would hurt all sides, said Dutch Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans.
"Those consequences will be bad for everyone, but for Russia they will be far worse than for the EU. We can target other markets if we have to. (Russia) will have trouble to quickly find other customers," he said.

Barcelona 'will not negotiate Fabregas sale'
New United manager David Moyes revealed on Friday that the Old Trafford club had submitted a bid for the Spain international as he looks to strengthen his squad.
Published19 July 2013
However, Bartomeu has ruled out a move for the former Arsenal captain, insisting the midfielder is not available for transfer.
"Cesc will be staying," the senior Camp Nou official told AS.
"The club will not sit down to negotiate his sale with anyone."
The news is a further blow to Moyes, who has already missed out on one midfield target after Thiago Alcantara left Barcelona for Bayern Munich.
Fabregas rejoined the La Liga champions in 2011 after leaving the club for Arsenal eight years earlier.
