Gypsy, The Hardware, T-6 days…
Gypsy incorporates the strengths of Nadar, but with a far more robust program and numerous sensors. It carries a custom pressure sensor (mentioned before) that has an effective resolution in altitude of as small as 10 cm, and also incorporates a temperature sensor. An accelerometer both logs accelerations on the payload as well as allowing the payload to determine when it is "cut down". A sound sensor is also built in, both to detect any background noise (I expect very little… but you don't know 'till you try), as well as sample specifically the noise level when the motors are running and the loudness of a sample standard tone played from the NXT speaker (this way, if a motor starts to break or degrade, the NXT will literally record the "death cry" of the motor… and the fading of the standard tone with altitude should serve as a second way to judge the air density). The fourth sensor port is connected to a HiTechnic prototyping board, a fantastic device that will be seeing much more use by me in the future. This one board allows me to run a CDS cell light sensor (detecting the outside illumination during the mission), two internal engineering temperature sensors (one on the NXT batteries, one near the camera batteries, and a reed relay to switch an independent heater circuit on and off. By monitoring it's own internal temperature, the NXT can turn the heaters (there are two separate units) on & off to maintain electronic-friendly conditions in the upper atmosphere, where the outside can reach -60° C or lower. And all that on one sensor port, using just a fraction of the simple input/output abilities of this $40 "sensor". On a mission like this, an amazing bargain! On top of this, the program autodetects when a motor is stalled, and will not "hang" waiting for a motor command to complete.
Mechanically there are several untested things about this payload. First and foremost is how LEGO pieces, made out of ABS, will handle the bitter cold at 100,000'. The design uses a rectangular frame of CPVC pipe (also untested under temperatures this cold), and suspended from that are cords that attach to the two "hubs", actually large LEGO turntables, that the pitch motor drives. If the pipe framework fractures in the intense cold, or the LEGO turntables shatter or separate, the entire payload would plummet out of the sky… without the benefit of a separate parachute like Lil' Joe. So to back up these untested elements, Gypsy also has a more conventional "safety tether" that extends straight through the payload box. Even if the hubs or pipe frame fail completely, the payload box should still remain connected to the main system, to be returned safely to Earth.
I also used a novel method for a "remove before flight" trigger. The HALE team requested that payloads have a "key" or "pull pin" that would trigger the payloads right before the balloon was released. That way all the payloads could be turned on in a "waiting" mode, and a very simple pull of a removable trigger could quickly & reliably start the payload's mission. I decided to have mine do double-duty: the CDS cell that during the flight monitors the external illumination is covered initially by a piece of Velcro (Velcro also holds the lid on the payload… and idea I stole from the LUXPAK group). When the Velcro strip is pulled away, the drastically increased light level is the cue to the program to begin the mission. This way, one sensor (and one that is multiplexed with several others via the HiTechnic protoboard at that) can serve two purposes, a "start trigger" as well as monitoring ambient conditions.
Another consideration on this mission was weight, so the payload shell is nothing more than a custom-fit, Gorilla-glued Styrofoam… in fact, the same kind you can buy in 4x8 sheet for insulating homes. Using a hot-wire cutter, I first made the internal mechanism, and then carefully constructed the shell around it – making sure I could remove it when I was finished (I used the same technique for Lil' Joe, except in the end I had to drastically reduce the weight). The result was a close-fitting shell with good strength properties but very light weight, and some insulation value to boot.
Gypsy is really a two-goal payload: versatile camera platform, and dedicated datalogger. Even if the camera portion of the mission were to fail, there would still be a whole lot of very interesting data returned. Now I just have to wait and see… by far the hardest part of the mission.
Next up - Gypsy, the Software

Here's something that may help reduce that payload weight. I use a Canon A720 camera, like the one in your project, and I have used the CHDK firmware patch to produce timelapses, and images using its motion sensor capabilities.
CHDK also has a USB trigger function, so instead of using a motor to press the button, you could use something lighter and simpler to take the photos, or start a recording.

Thanks Karl - that looks like a terrific step up from the L11, while still staying very small & light! I'd never heard of CHDK, but you can bet I'm going to look into it in the future for missions like this. The next option is really to cut open the camera shell, so that I could solder on control circuits in place of buttons - I REALLY prefer your option! The "scripting" ability sounds ideal as well...

Brian's comment about his payload container:
"I first made the internal mechanism, and then carefully constructed the shell around it – making sure I could remove it when I was finished"
I can't wait to show this to our payload team the next time we meet. FLL "Climate Connections" Team 90 has 10 members and to keep them all busy I had some of them work on the box while others prototyped various solutions. There was little communication between groups and as a result, the team ended up with a container with a good deal of empty space inside.
However it will not go to waste as the NevadaStat team has informed me that we will be carrying various trinkets supplied by LEGO corp.
I'm reminded of the movie "The Right Stuff" when Astronaut Gus Grissom's souvenir nickels spilled onto the floor upon removing his space suit.
Good luck next week .. or should I steal another reference from the movie and say "Godspeed Brian Davis"?

I think you mean "Godspeed, Gypsy"... Although the idea of going sounds wonderful, at this point remember... It's all up to the payload :)
Yes, working "alone" had some advantages & disadvantages. Coordinating the "team" was very easy, but problem solving & getting new ideas is significantly tougher.

The Mass Dash is Back for 2015 !
A One-Day 100-Mile Race !!
The Mass Dash is back in 2015, and we've packed all the fun into a new one-day 100-mile race from Mt Greylock to UMass @ Amherst! A team adventure relay race with a very significant purpose, the Mass Dash will bring together hundreds of runners, sharing their time, their thoughts and themselves while racing across western Massachusetts on a summer day, all dedicated to raising awareness and funds to support family, friends and neighbors in the fight against cancer...
Starting after sunrise, teams of 6 runners each ("BIG" teams may have up to 18 runners) will run 100 miles in a non-stop relay race of eighteen legs across western Massachusetts -- from the foot of Mount Greylock, Massachusetts' highest point, to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Along the way, the teams will run through Massachusetts' beautiful state parks, forests and reservations, its storied colleges and universities, and its many historic and picturesque towns and villages. In four years, over 2000 runners and volunteers have joined in the Mass Dash, and have raised almost $500,000 for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The experience will leave you absolutely breathless -- in more ways than you can imagine!

Your C4 Corvette has a great suspension but it could very well be worn out. Ok-it is worn out. The C4 Corvettes are old cars and the parts have lost their edge. It's not that any one item is really bad. The normal problem is that all of the wear has added up. A little bit of wear in a lot of places means you have a lot of total wear. It's a cumulative thing. Plus, you may not even notice how worn out things are since you've probably never driven a perfect C4. Your Corvette seems perfectly normal to you even if it isn't. You just assume that all C4 Corvettes drive the way your car does.
One of the reasons aftermarket parts seem to make such a huge difference with older Corvettes is that aftermarket parts are generally used to replace worn out factory parts. People put some new aftermarket part on their car and extol the virtues of that part. They would have felt the same difference if they had used a stock GM part. All new parts make a huge difference whether they are OEM or aftermarket. Sometimes though, GM doesn't give us much of a choice. They send us to the aftermarket. Let's take the rear suspension of the early C4 Corvette. A lot of the parts you need to rebuild your rear suspension simply aren't available from the local Chevrolet dealer. We're simply forced to the aftermarket to restore the ride and handling of our early C4s.
My track car is a poster child for aftermarket parts. This '85 Corvette has been beaten to death on the track. I'm closing out my tenth year of running track events. Each lap puts a little more wear on perfectly good parts. Every few years another part gets replaced. OK, every year any number of parts gets replaced. It all depends how I feel about my Visa card balance.
One rather important item to consider is that a lot of the aftermarket suspension items make alignment adjustments easier. The rear of my '85 is a great example of that. All of the Vette Brakes parts I've installed over the years make camber and toe adjustments really, really simple. I may not get the settings right all the time but I can really adjust the hell out of the toe and camber settings. Actually, I can adjust my suspension to the point where the car will barely corner but that's a personal problem, not a parts problem.
The Design
Before I get into the details, let's take a look at the rear suspension on the C4. The C4 rear suspension is really a variation on the '63 Corvette suspension. You just knew that transverse leaf spring in the back looked familiar. Also, keep in mind the C4 Corvette was designed around the tires. The engineers fell in love with the tires on the Porsche 928 and had Goodyear develop a P255/50R16 tire for the new '83 Corvette. Yes, boys and girls, that's how it all got started.
This new '83 Corvette was to have very low pitch, at least much less than the '63-'82 Corvette had. The engineers didn't want the nose of your Corvette diving to the pavement when you applied the brakes. They didn't want this new Corvette squatting down in back when the car accelerated, either. Both of these can be accomplished through anti-dive and anti-squat suspension geometry.
If you look at a side view of the C4 Corvette you need to think of a long arm that angles up and towards the front of the car. The ideal locating point would be above the car's center of gravity. The problem is that this single arm, like in the '63-'82 cars, would have to be so long that it would get in the way of the seats. That was a problem with the older '63-'82 Corvette. The attachment point for the trailing arm actually limited the driver and passenger area. Or you could say the driver and passenger area limited the rear suspension.
The solution for the C4 was rather simple-just use two arms whose virtual intersection point is above the car's center of gravity. In that respect the anti-dive and anti-squat characteristics of the C4 are vastly superior to the older C3 Corvette. At least when your car was new and all of the bushings were in good shape.

Meet the "Super Stylish Slope Device"
This is a VW/tank/snowmobile/DJ booth combo. And it's awesome.
Posted: 13 Feb 2013
This is the Super Stylish Slope Device, a £52,000 mobile DJ booth that'll get up a piste, down a sand dune and into our folder marked AWESOME.
Called the "super stylisches pistengerät" by its Austrian owner (which Google tells us means "super stylish slope device"), it's the amalgam of a 1966 Volkswagen T1 bus, late sixties Bombardier B01 Spurgrat snowmobile, and DJ rig.
That means it's got a fully retractable roof, 1,000-watt subwoofer, five-channel Behringer mixer, and the devices necessary to play redundant music formats beloved of electronic music enthusiasts. And its owner, Bernd Berger, tells us the whole thing transforms from vehicle to booth in just three minutes. Oh, and there's sand tracks for summer duties too.
It's powered by the combination of a Ford Taunus V4 and supplementary Honda generator for the bangin' tunes. But it's not what you'd call fast. It is what you'd call slow - it tops out at 9 mph and weighs more than two tonnes, which means that during promotional events (that's why Berger started building it way back in 2005), it's taken some interesting routes up the slopes.
Do you agree that this may be the most wondrous thing in the whole of this afternoon, TopGear.commers?

The winningest coach in Oklahoma history, Bob Stoops owns the singular distiction of being the only college head coach to lead his squad to victory in every BCS bowl game and the BCS National Championship Game.
Quantifying the lasting impact that Stoops has made on Oklahoma is the easy part. No head coach in the Sooners' illustrious history has produced more victories than Stoops (160), who surpassed Barry Switzer in 2013. That OU coaching lineage of 100-game winners also includes the iconic Bud Wilkinson and Bennie Owen.
Stoops has led the Sooners to a school-record 15 consecutive bowl berths and eight Big 12 titles. Even though he didn't arrive in Norman until the Big 12 was three years old, the Youngstown, Ohio, native has already coached the program to more than twice as many championships as any other school in the league with eight.
Putting Stoops' accomplishments and remarkable consistency in the proper national perspective isn't difficult. No team from a BCS conference owns more victories or a better winning percentage than Oklahoma (160-39, .804) since he took over the Sooners' fortunes. No school can claim more BCS berths since 2000 than Oklahoma's nine. Only three schools can boast longer active streaks of consecutive bowl berths.
This 30-year coaching veteran completed his winning BCS bowl cycle as Oklahoma registered a 45-31 victory over No. 3 Alabama in the 80th Allstate Sugar Bowl. That victory vaulted the Sooners to the No. 6 spot in the final AP Poll. Dating back to the 2000 campaign, no team boasts more AP Top 10 finishes than Oklahoma (9).
Among teams from BCS conferences only Alabama (72) and Oregon (67) have more wins than Oklahoma (63) over the past six seasons, a tribute to Stoops and his talented staff. Stoops, Nick Saban (Alabama) and Les Miles (LSU) are the only three FBS coaches that have guided their their schools to 10 or more victories each of the past four campaigns, a remarkable feat in today's college football landscape.
Only Virginia Tech's Frank Beamer (1987) and Troy's Larry Blakeney (1991) have been at their posts longer. Add it all up, and it's easy to see why ESPN the Magazine named Oklahoma the top college football program of the BCS era in 2012. Among active FBS coaches, only Urban Meyer owns a better winning percentage at .837 (128-25).
During his remarkable run, Stoops has picked up 17 coach of the year citations, including eight on the national level (only five coaches nationally have won more conference coach of the year awards). Under Stoops' direction, the Sooners have posted 12 seasons with 10 or more wins in his 15 years at OU, a total that no FBS program can top dating back to 1999.
Prior to his arrival at Oklahoma, the proud Sooner program was five years removed from a winning record and hadn't produced double-digit victories since 1987. OU has also registered 10 seasons with 11 or more wins since the start of the 2000 campaign, a figure that leads the nation over that span. Stoops reached 100 victories faster than any coach in college football history. In fact, only five coaches needed fewer games to reach the 150-win plateau than Stoops (187 games). That list reads like a who's who of the game's coaching elite: Switzer (180 games), Fielding Yost (180), Gil Doobie (180), Joe Paterno (184) and Tom Osborne (186).
Since the start of the 21st century, Oklahoma has been the standbearer of success among BCS conference schools in 11 major categories. Over the past 14 seasons, OU leads all those schools in victories (153), winning percentage (.818), total touchdowns (881), turnover differential (+108), takeaways (410) and third-down conversions (1,230). Impressive totals, indeed.
Conference supremacy has also been a trademark of Stoops' tenure in Norman. In addition to eight Big 12 trophies, no Big 12 squad owns more regular season conference wins (99) or victories against AP Top 25 foes (50) than Oklahoma dating back to 1999. Over the past four years, the Sooners' 27 Big 12 wins and 14 victories against ranked foes remain the top mark in the conference, as well.
The 2013 campaign may have marked one of finest all-around coaching efforts of Stoops and his staff in recent memory as OU utilizing two different starting quarterbacks and a revamped defensive scheme filled with untested performers. Oklahoma registered its first victory over Notre Dame in half a century before overcoming injuries to senior leaders on both sides of the ball to conclude the Big 12 schedule with back-to-back road wins in bitter cold at Kansas State and at Oklahoma State. Oklahoma's ninth BCS bowl berth ensued, culminating in blockbuster victory against an Alabama squad that had won back-to-back national championships.
But Stoops has long insisted that players win games, not coaches. However, it's hard to argue with the consistent level of top-flight talent Stoops and his staff have attracted to Oklahoma. Two Heisman winners and five Heisman finalists have been characteristic of the offensive playmakers who have signed with the Sooners. If you want opulent offense, look no further than Owen Field. Stoops' 2008 team was the first to score 60 or more points in five straight games en route to scoring an NCAA single-season record with 716 points.
There has been no lack of game-changing defensive performers on the roster, either. Oklahoma is the only program to produce two players who won the Thorpe and Nagurski Awards in the same season. Sizzling special teams performers have been part of the equation, as well. Over the past three seasons alone the Sooners have registered six touchdowns and three safeties in the kicking game.
Stoops is respected as a grounded family man, big-game coach, relentless recruiter, strong leader and a person with uncommon perspective. His success emanates from a disciplined style true to his roots in the Steel Valley of Ohio, but he is far from inflexible. The principles to which he holds are the tried and true axioms of the sport mixed with cutting-edge strategy and an appreciation for the calculated risk.
The son of a longtime high school coach, Stoops was a four-year starter at Iowa under Hayden Fry, who gave him his coaching start in 1983. He would later play a key role in one of the most impressive turnarounds in college football history on Bill Snyder's staff at Kansas State from 1989-95. Eventually, he left for Florida and a three-year stint as Steve Spurrier's defensive coordinator. It was with the Gators, and a national championship team in 1996, that the spotlight found Stoops and made him one of the hottest names in the profession. His hiring at Oklahoma was one for the ages.
Oklahoma has set four NCAA records and set or tied 112 school records under Stoops, not including bowl bests and marks specific to a particular position. Stoops has authored two of the seven longest winning streaks in Oklahoma history. His 2000 and 2001 teams combined to win 20 straight, while the 2002 and 2003 teams combined to reel off 14 in a row. Those victories all came against FBS opponents.
Stoops' squads have put together the school's longest home field winning streak at 39. That's also the ninth-longest in the history of college football. Stoops also has fashioned two other streaks of 19 straight.
Oklahoma won the 2000 national championship and played for three more. The Sooners have spent 30 weeks at No. 1 in the AP poll and a national-leading 20 weeks atop the BCS standings.
OU has registered double-digit victories in 128 of Stoops' 198 games. The Sooners boast an 81-1 mark under Stoops when scoring 40 points or more.
Oklahoma has played in 15 straight bowl games under Stoops. Never had an OU coach taken even his first three teams to bowls.
The Sooners have not lost back-to-back regular season games under Stoops since October 1999, his inaugural OU year. Oklahoma is 31-0 in regular season games immediately following a loss since that time.
An Oklahoma player finished among the top seven in the Heisman voting six times on Stoops' watch: Sam Bradford (No. 1 in 2008), Adrian Peterson (No. 2 in 2004), Jason White (No. 3 in 2004), Jason White (No. 1 in 2003), Roy Williams (No. 7 in 2001) and Josh Heupel (No. 2 in 2000).
Under Stoops, OU has produced 34 All-Americans and two AP Players of the Year. Two players have earned the Davey O'Brien Award a combined three times. Two different Sooners have claimed the following honors: Nagurski Award, Thorpe Award, Butkus Award. At least one of his OU student-athletes has earned one of these accolades: Bednarik Award, Lombardi Award, Walter Camp Award, Maxwell Award, Unitas Award, Outland Trophy, Wuerffel Trophy and the Mosi Tatupu Award.
All 92 home games of Stoops tenure have been sold out and the stadium capacity has been increased by some 9,000 seats since his arrival. In a state of 3.5 million people and two other FBS programs, attendance in Norman routinely exceeds 85,000, including a school-record 86,031 vs. Notre Dame (10/27/12).
Under Stoops, the Sooners are a combined 21-9 (.700) against their two biggest rivals, owning a 9-6 mark in the AT&T Red River Rivalry against Texas and a 12-3 record in Bedlam contests vs. Oklahoma State.

Just checking - is that allowed? Last I heard, a TV is a TV and needs a licence, whether or not it's capable of receiving. Just so you don't end up in court
BTW, as far as I'm aware you don't have to let them in to check anyway. I didn't have a licence for about 6 months, and the guy on the phone said "We might come round and check, since most people who say they don't have a TV actually do". As in "we think you're most likely lying and we want to persecute you in your own home". As if I would have let them in!

Watching TV on the internet
You need to be covered by a licence if you watch TV online at the same time as it's being broadcast on conventional TV in the UK or the Channel Islands.
Video recorders and digital recorders like Sky+
You need a licence if you record TV as it's broadcast, whether that's on a conventional video recorder or digital box.
Mobile phones
A licence covers you to watch TV as it's broadcast on a mobile phone, whether you're at home or out and about.

With the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season kicking off Saturday, emergency officials along the Emerald Coast are urging residents to prepare for major storms.
Officials in Okaloosa, Santa Rosa and Walton counties spent last week conducting hurricane drills and testing their emergency response practices.
"We don't want people becoming complacent because it's been a long time since we've been hit with something that was really serious," said Randy McDaniel, emergency management director for Okaloosa County.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has forecast an unusually busy season. The prediction calls for 13 to 20 named Atlantic storms, seven to 11 that strengthen into hurricanes and three to six that become major hurricanes.
NOAA said there is a 70 percent chance that this year will be more active than an average season.
Learn more about weather conditions »
Hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30.
The best defense, McDaniel said, is for a community to be as prepared as possible every season.
"We look at it from the aspect that it doesn't really matter what they forecast any given year," McDaniel said. "If you take a storm that year … it's a bad year. We could take a hit any year."
That means residents must become more self-sufficient in the aftermath of storms, said Brad Baker, emergency services coordinator for Santa Rosa County.
"Don't be complacent," he said. "Review your family plans. Make them now."
Families and individuals should take stock of supplies, especially water, a battery-operated radio and non-perishable food, he said.
McDaniel added that residents also should prepare for power outages.
"A lot of people think, 'Well, I have candles I can use if the power goes out.' That's a bad idea because candles fall over and they set curtains on fire," he said. "You can buy LED lanterns that put out more light than a candle will."
Baker said the bottom line is for residents to have the essentials on hand during and after a hurricane.
"The first 72 is on you," Baker said. "That means for three days you're on your own. You should be able to feed yourself and have a water supply for that long."
Baker said he's also encouraging folks to go ahead and measure their windows and cut plywood needed to board up their homes before a storm.
"We know there's wood available now. It might not be later on," he said. "If we get our citizens to prepare, our county is better prepared."
In Okaloosa County, emergency officials are expanding their use of social media to share storm news.
"For Hurricane Isaac, we had five phone calls that came into our Citizens Information Line," McDaniel said. "We had over 25,000 individual hits to our Facebook page, so social media made a big difference during that time frame."
The county also has a new Ready Okaloosa App that can be downloaded to any iPhone or Android device. The app provides a variety of information, including weather updates.
"There will be a shelter list on the app that they can go to and it will give turn-by-turn directions to the shelter," McDaniel said.
In Walton County, officials are emphasizing evacuation routes with a campaign called "Do You Know Your Zone?"
"Walton County has the second-longest evacuation time in the state of Florida," said Maj. Joe Preston with the Sheriff's Office. "We're at 24 hours."
The county's only evacuation route is U.S. Highway 331, said Preston, who also serves as the county's emergency management director.
"We're really trying to get people to understand what evacuation zone they're in," he said. "When you rely on that one north-south route, you have to be able to prepare ahead of time."
Preston said emergency officials have enlarged a color-coded evacuation map and will take it to local groceries and other businesses to inform residents.

Hi Guys,
I am the designer who created the packaging for Toy Play's Xiaolin Showdown line of toys. I am making room in my studio and need to part ways with some of my collection. Currently I have what seems to be the only, Exclusive limited edition evil Omi sealed pvc mini figurine (I found 1 so far...I believe I have more). I believe it was part of a promotion. It is sealed in plastic with logo and legal print. I also have in packaging, all 6in action figures, 1 sword of the storm, 1 golden tiger claw, 1 pvc mini collectors set and Dojo dragon. The packaging for all items are the original designs I created for the release in the U.S. I have seen some sword packaging that is either bootleg or from a company who bought the molds and rights after Toy Play stopped production. That packaging is in Italian. The items that I am offering for sale are from the first production run for the US, from Toy Play.
Also from Toy Play, I had the chance to work on the Homies/Mijos line. Specifically a small set of jumping beans called, Mijos Frijolitos...this item is extremely rare, as I do not believe production saw store shelves.
I am working of the shots..and will post as soon as I can.
Thanks for your time.

By Claire Walla
Sag Harbor School Superintendent Dr. John Gratto who, before coming to Sag Harbor, worked in the Windham-Ashland-Jewett School District in upstate New York. The area, including the school, was decimated by floodwaters in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene and earlier this month, he went back to visit. Now, he's hoping the Sag Harbor community can help the school there rebuild.
Having lived in Windham and been a vital part of the local community, what was it like seeing all the pictures of the aftermath of the storm?
I felt so sad. I almost cry when I see those pictures. In Prattsville, the entire main street is gone. A lot of people don't have their livelihood anymore.
Was there still a lot of floodwater within buildings when you were there, or had it mostly dissipated by then?
Mostly you could just see watermarks on buildings. When I went into the movie theatre it was so stunning to me. I'm six feet tall and the watermark on the white screen was higher than I was.
It looks like the majority of the damage happened right in the center of town.
Well, [in a mountainous region] people tend to live in the valley near the river. And when that river floods it affects all those homes and businesses. My [former] guidance secretary: her home got washed away.
What was Windham like before the flood?
Windham was a beautiful town, much like Sag Harbor. As you're driving in, there's a sign on the side of the road that says, "The Gem of the Catskills." And it really was…
It's no longer the gem of the Catskills.
Did you visit the home where you used to live?
I did. I actually lived at a bed and breakfast not far from a trailer park that had 23 trailers in it. Now, there are no more trailers. Those 23 people are all homeless.
I asked [the three families now living at the bed and breakfast] if they needed any help with anything and they said they didn't.
But, of course, I was there two weeks after the flood.
I'm trying to put the situation into terms I can try to imagine, like what would it look like if there was comparable flooding here on Main Street in Sag Harbor?
It is so difficult to imagine. In Windham, the school must be about 400 feet away from the river. So, the water was 20 feet above flood levels. You look at a river and you think, how can that river ever be so big? Think how high the water would have to be to leave mud in the windowsills. It was at least six to eight feet high.
With floodwaters destroying so many small businesses, I imagine many residents are now unemployed.
I would bet that about one-third of the people right near Route 23 are unemployed. Everyone related to the ski mountain is likely unemployed, too. I rode my bicycle to the mountain and there's a big sign that says, "closed." Many, many people in the town work there. After the school, the mountain is the biggest employer.
Were you able to visit the school at all?
There were signs outside the school that said "do not enter/hazardous area," so I tried to stay away. But [of what he was able to see], the superintendent's office didn't exist anymore. It was just metal studs in the wall. They've been working feverishly to open the school and they're hoping to open next week. [An update on the school's website indicates the school will officially be opening September 26.]
With buildings washed away and classrooms completely flooded, there's a lot the town needs to do to get back to normal. Do you know how the town aims to tackle this recovery effort?
When I was there, the school had a restoration company doing some of the cleanup. I noticed these trailers called "quick-response team," which deal with flood and mold issues. With wet studs and wet walls, mold can quickly develop.
Do you think many of the kids will have left the school district because of all the damage?
No. There are two big differences between that school district and ours. It's much more geographically sparse, and there aren't any good private school choices in the area. Plus, the school is the center of the community. I don't think people would want to leave the district, there's a lot of affinity for that school.
So, did this event cause the community to band together?
Yes! There's a picture that was taken of a woman on Main Street [in front of the town's historical society/library] holding a pot of coffee. She went out there the first day and made coffee for the people who were working. The next day, a man came out with a gas grill and it all just grew from there. Lots of food was donated.
What does the school need in terms of supplies?
I talked to the superintendent this morning [Friday, September 16] and he said they're most in need of money. The piano, percussion instruments, marching band uniforms: they all got flooded. Also, ski equipment. Skiing's big up there, it's part of their physical education. So, more than anything else, they need money to buy all that stuff.
We have some surplus supplies that we can donate to them, like library books. But the superintendent asked me to hold off on donating things until late October because they don't have anyplace to store it yet … their storage building and their bus garage got washed away.
When you talked to him, did he sound optimistic?
Yes, he's a very positive, get-it-done type of guy. He used to be in the military. But, at the same time, he acknowledges that they need plenty of help.
The Pierson High School National Honor Society is working to organize a fundraiser for the Windham/Ashland/Jewett School District. For anyone wishing to send money to the school, you can send checks directly to: Windham-Ashland-Jewett Central School, Main Street, P.O. Box 429, Windham, N.Y. 12496.

Hi all,
Hope you can help... I've got a MyBook World Live NAS attached to my router, and all has been working fine. All of a sudden my MacBook Pro has decided it doesn't like it any more. The alias resolves fine to the folder on the NAS, but I've got this damned 'loading' symbol in the bottom-right of the Finder window and it's not letting me open any folders within the NAS. Almost as if it's still 'thinking' about it, but it sits there for hours doing that.
My Windows laptop connects to it fine, as does my Western Digital TV Live hub which is plugged into my TV. Why doesn't the Mac like it anymore? As I'm not getting any error messages, I really don't know what I can do to fix it. I'll happily PayPal some money to anyone who can find out the problem and sort it!

BENCHMATA is an advanced system that can help utility companies, municipalities, local and state governments, and energy billing companies to automatically benchmark their customer's energy usage in ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager. It is the first commercially available system powerful enough to automate any organization's energy benchmarking needs. Software can put your organization on the fast track for bulk benchmarking of your customers in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. It helps in accomplishing ESP's goal to provide benchmarking of energy data on a bigger scale. It helps organizations create processes for automatic authentication of customers using custom id values. The system provided a powerful GUI to allow a user to create customer, building, meter, and space data and all related attributes in a straight forward manner. Even if an organization is small and you don't have automatic data feeds, you can still benefit from the BENCHMATA system. The system has a built-in table where you can enter your customers meter usage data and directly upload to ENERGY STAR and receive a rating in return. It provides the capability to read and store usage data from Excel (if provided), making it very easy. Now you can plot your customer's building reports and other data received from ENERGY STAR directly on GOOGLE MAPS, using built-in satellite imagery. The system provides advance benchmarking reports and search criteria. Now you can see how many customers have what scores and track their carbon greenhouse gas emissions. The system has its own database. This is the first ever advanced system to put ENERGY STAR Benchmarking within reach of many utilities ESP's / municipalities, state and local governments. The system works with modern RDBMS like Oracle but with few modifications. It can be configured with your legacy systems or can act alone as a standalone system. Screen Shots

Gertrude E. Ferrara, a resident of 34 Union Street in Sag Harbor for the last 60 years, died of congestive heart failure on January 13, 2010 at her son's home in the Springs section of East Hampton. She was 88 years old.
She was born in New York City to Robert MacGarva Sr. and Gertrude (McDonald) MacGarva on December 23, 1921. In 1926, when she was five years old, the family moved to the East End after Mrs. Ferrara's father, a Navy electronics technician in W.W. I and employee of the New York Telephone Company, was transferred to East Hampton as a line and switchboard supervisor. Her mother worked as a secretary and suffragette and Mrs. Ferrara grew up on McQuirk Street in East Hampton.
She went on to work at the Bulova Watchcase factory and the Grumman Aircraft plant in Sag Harbor and retired from the Sag Harbor Savings Bank.

Her son, Richard, said that because his mother was born in New York City and was a colloquial East Hampton uptowner, "she always claimed under her breath and with a certain remorse, that she could never be a real Bonacker."

Chuck in a KO in either setting
Chuck in a KO in either setting
This fight would never happen in the US cos Silva can't fight without kicking or stumping on the head of a downed opponent.
The UK now allows stumps etc & I'm sure elbows are allowed.
Whatyasay, come on. I'll set up a ring in my back garden I'll even put up a fence for ya!
Wand has fought in the US before, but he really was young so he might of burned has bridge with the UFC . He was achamp so you cant say he has to fight only by kickn someone on the ground.
"chuck might win in a contravesial dec"
What is so controversial about getting KTFO which is what chuck would do to wand, particularly in the octagon
o wow go watch some wand fights then watch chuck fight against rampage, then you can come back to this forum
" If the world were a girl I'd stick my dick in the ground, fuck the world" - 2pac
So are you sayn that Chuck can hit harder than Hunt he weighs about 280, Hunt couldnt drop him so what makes you think Chuck can. Another comparison Rampage was never hurt by Chuck , but Wand seemd to take care of him twice by ko and ref stoppage. If you dont know now you know. I Win.Originally Posted by Mastiff_owner
Wand would beat Chuck

dude don't blame silva for all that shit that went down after the shogun fight. he may be partially to blame but there was a lot going on to just blame him including coleman's crazy steroided-up ass. don't just throw silva under the bus. honestly its hard to point fingers at anybody because of the amount of confusion but I do believe coleman threw the first punch, if I am correct.Originally Posted by kickass32
Overeem > Lesnar. Hopefully Dana will man up.
good call, I haven't actually seen the rampage/chuck fight but I know the results and they speak for themselves.Originally Posted by nole
Overeem > Lesnar. Hopefully Dana will man up.

Innumerable methods of divination can be found around the world, and many cultures practice the same methods under different names. During the Middle Ages, scholars coined terms for many of these methods — some of which had hitherto been unnamed — in Medieval Latin, very often utilizing the suffix -mantia when the art seemed more mystical (ultimately from Greek mantis, prophet) and the suffix -scopia when the art seemed more scientific (ultimately from Greek skopein, to observe). Names like drimimantia, nigromantia, and horoscopia turned up, along with a slew of other esoteric (and distinctly Medieval) "sciences" such as phrenology and physiognomy.
Of course, some forms of divination are much older than the Middle Ages, like haruspication, while others (such as megapolisomancy or coffee-based tasseomancy) are born of the 20th and 21st century.
Pronunciations have been given using English Phonemic Representation.
