What is Sound?
Sound, the art of objects making noise and creating vibration through the air. Sound can be made by any object, from a violin playing a solo to the wind blowing, sound is created everywhere. "Most sounds you hear are transmitted through the air, but can also travel in solids and liquids"(Conceptual Physics, pg.392). The medium through which sound travels affects the tone of the sound and the speed it travels. An example of this is clapping under water. The sound takes longer when it travels through the air. [1] [2]
|courtesy of: up your architecture.
- Pitch- The apparent predominant frequency sounded by an acoustical source.
- Infrasonic- Sound waves with frequencies below 20 hertz.
- Ultrasonic- Sound waves with frequencies above 20,000 hertz.
- Hertz- The SI unit of frequency, equal to one cycle per second.
- Compression- A pulse of compressed air.
- Rarefaction- A decrease in density and pressure in a medium, such as air, caused by the passage of a sound wave.
- Forced Vibration- forcing an object to vibrate. Ex. a tuning fork is not loud when its by itself, but place it on a table an it is suddenly loud. Its because the tuning fork is making or forcing the wood in the table to vibrate.
- Natural Frequency- A frequency at which an elastic object, once energized, will vibrate. Ex. think of bells, a smaller bell is higher in frequency than that of a big bell, and it rings at a higher pitch also.
- Resonance- This happens when the frequency of forced vibrations on an object matches the objects natural frequency, and has an increase in amplitude results. Ex. swinging on a swing set in rhythm with its natural frequency produces larger amplitudes.
- Beats- A variation in loudness of sound caused by interference when two tones of slightly different frequencies are sounded together. Ex. take two tuning forks and hit them on a table to cause a vibration, one fork vibrates at a frequency different from the other, but the vibration of the forks will in moments be in the same beat and then out of beat, then back into beat and so on.
- Sound Waves- a longitudinal wave in an elastic medium, especially a wave producing an audible sensation. [4]

Forced Vibration and Natural Frequency
Have you ever wondered why when you put your cell phone on a table and when it vibrates its really loud compared to when its not on the table? Its because when the cell phone vibrates it forces the table to vibrate as well. This is called forced vibration. This is caused when an object of some type vibrates and hits or is sitting on another object which then starts vibrating the other object its sitting on by force, which also makes the sound of the vibrate louder because two things are vibrating. Forced vibration is found in a lot of things because otherwise some things wouldnt be loud enough to hear without it. Like in a acoustic guitar, the strings wound be faint without the wooden body because therer would be no way of hearing a sound in front of large audiences, even small audiences. Wooden bodies to an instrument is always needed to hear the instrument clearly.
Natural frequency is a vibration or frequency to one object. Like a smaller bell has a higher natural frequency than a larger bell because the smaller it is the louder it is compared to something big and heavy, which would be at an lower frequency.
The Doppler Effect
The Doppler Effect, also known as the Doppler Shift, was first coined by Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who first proposed the effect back in 1842. The Doppler Effect shows that there is a change in the frequency of emitted waves produced by the motion of an emitting source relative to an observer. [8] Take for example, the classic case of the Doppler Effect. Pretend that you, the observer, hears a train coming in the distance. Since the train is in motion when it approaches you, the waves emitted by the train whistle get "stacked" on top of one another. Therefore, it seems to be louder than when the train moves away from the observer. This also explains why you can hear the train for a longer period as it moves away from the observer, verses approaching the observer. In Christian Doppler's experiment to prove the Doppler Shift, he had an orchestra play on note on a train and then asked the conductor to go past him as fast as he could. In his experiments, as well as noting the change in volume and time, there was also a change in pitch as the train passed him.

Animals and their Frequencies
Did you ever know that animals had their own frequencies or had their own way making sound? It is quite interesting! Like elephants can produce a sound frequency so low that us humans or people cant hear them, but their herds can. Then there are these birds that communicate with their wings,, instead of their beaks or mouths.

Spice up your table with these three tasty recipes from chef Ching-He Huang.
- 12-ounce piece boneless, skinless pork belly, very finely chopped (or ground pork)
- 1 shallot
- 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
- 1/2 cube vegetable bouillon
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 teaspoon Shaoshing rice wine
- Sea salt and freshly ground white pepper, to taste
- 1 large egg yolk, beaten
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch, plus more for rolling 1/2 cup glutinous white rice, soaked overnight in cold water and drained Black rice vinegar, chili oil, or soy sauce, for dipping, optional
Baking Directions:
Put the pork on a large cutting board and very finely mince it with a sharp, heavy knife or cleaver until the fat is broken down; spread it out on the board into a thin layer (or use 2 large heavy cleavers to get the job done quicker!). Using a fine grater or microplane, grate the shallot, ginger, and bouillon cube over the meat. Sprinkle the five-spice, Shaoshing, salt, pepper, egg yolk, and cornstarch over the pork and use the knife or a spatula to mix the ingredients until well combined. Put some cornstarch in a shallow bowl, and using your hands, roll the pork mixture into ping-pong ball sized balls and roll them in the cornstarch to lightly coat. Shake off the excess starch and transfer the meatballs to a plate. Working with wet hands, put some of the soaked rice in your palm and roll the meatball in it with your hands, pressing gently, until it is evenly coated in rice. Continue rolling until the meatballs are all coated with rice. Fill a wok 1/3 with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Put a shallow flat bowl or plate with a lip into a bamboo steamer basket (make sure the plate is at least ½- inch smaller than the diameter of the basket) and evenly space the rice balls on the plate, being sure they do not touch each other. Cover the basket with the lid and lower it into the wok. Steam the meatballs, adding water to the wok as necessary to prevent the basket from scorching, until set and firm, 20 to 25 minutes. Carefully remove the rice balls from the steamer and transfer them to a platter. Serve the meatballs with toothpicks on the side for skewering and dipping into vinegar, chili oil, or soy sauce. NOTE: You can also put the finely chopped pork into a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and whip it to breakdown the fat and make a smooth, tender meatball. Add the flavoring ingredients and whip slowly until combined before rolling and steaming the pearl balls. They can also be steamed on a vegetable steamer basket fitted inside a large pot with a lid.Prep time: 15 minutesInactive prep time: 12 hours for soaking rice Cook time: 25 minutes Total time: 40 minutes
- 1/2 English cucumber or 2 small Kirby cucumbers, sliced
- 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice cooking wine)
- 2 tablespoons clear rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- Pinch sugar
Baking Directions:
Put the cucumber slices in a non-reactive bowl. Sprinkle the mirin, rice vinegar, salt, and sugar over them and toss to combine. Let stand at least 10 minutes at room temperature before serving, or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Prep time: 5 minutesInactive prep time: 10 minutesTotal time: 15 minutes
- 3 heaping tablespoons yellow miso paste
- 1/4 cup light soy
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons finely grated peeled ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 dozen chicken wings, separated at the joints, wingtips removed and reserved for another use 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 scallions, sliced, for garnish, optional
Baking Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk the miso, soy, honey, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic together until well combined. Put the wings into a reseal-able plastic food storage bag and pour the marinade mixture over them. Seal the bag and squeeze it to coat the wings evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and preferably overnight. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a rack and spray it lightly with cooking spray. Remove the wings from the marinade, shake off any excess and spread them evenly on the baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle the sesame seeds and scallions over the top. Serve warm. Prep time: 10 minutesInactive prep time: 4 hours to 12 hoursCook time: 30 minutesTotal time: 4 hours, 40 minutes

Product Description
Some will call us crazy.. We probably are.. But this idea was just too cool not to attempt. When banjo innovator extraordinaire Bela Fleck threw the idea our way and said, "Gold Tone is probably the only banjo company in the world that would ever try something as wild as this", we just had to do it. After some serious brainstorming and a few prototypes, the OT-10 was born. It was such a cool banjo, that we decided to add it to the line so that the world had an opportunity to experience it!
The OT-10 is a 10-string banjo (think 12-string guitar). The strings are arranged in pairs with unisons on the first, second, and fifth string, and octaves on the third and fourth. This banjo is easily played by any five string banjoist as the fingerings are all the same. The tone is loud and penetrating with added sustain caused by the extra string tension. The OT-10 features a tubaphone-style pot assembly with tubaphone-style tone ring and genuine bracket band for a plunky tone. This is not your grandfather's openback banjo so no rules need apply!

Apparently, spring break is forever.
The Harmony Korine montage-packed, bikini-filled opus that is Spring Breakers is getting a sequel. Screen Daily reports that production company Wild Bunch will be bringing a follow-up to the 2012 party flick to the Cannes Film Festival Market.
Brace yourself for one heck of a ride.
Hitting theaters nationwide on March 22, Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens' R-rated movie, Spring Breakers, is guaranteed to shock fans.
Starring alongside Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson and indie actress Rachel Korine, the two former Disney starlets embark on a journey of crazy…
The Spring Breakers love affair in Paris, France continued on Sunday with some balcony love from the cast.
Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine and Vanessa Hudgens greeted a sea of fans from a balcony at the Hotel Bristol, where they were spotted blowing kisses and making hearts with their hands.
In the first clip from Spring Breakers, Selena Gomez is bored — like, really bored.
"I'm so tired of seeing the same thing every single day," she says while sitting in a jail cell. Little does she know James Franco will appear and make things a little less dull.
While the clip…

Same thing happened to me. I was on the last question on race and when I answered it gave me a message "the survey was full." I started the survey at 1am and didn't finish until almost 2am. I was so livid. It it was full, what did it ask me question after question for an hour until I got to the end and found out. It has happened to me several times. Also, I was just going through all the old surveys that are pending points and one I have been waiting on since early November has now been changed from pending to a drawing entry. Toluna should give us some reason why I am not getting survey points.

Do not get frustrated, this happens so much even with other sites that I belong to. It has happened to me so many times that I can not count. I agree demographics should be done at the beginning of a survey to save on time but what can we do. We have to take these things as they come and hope for the best. It is pretty well the same with everything that we do now adays. We are at the bottom of the list when it comes to most companies given any consideration to who supports them. I love Toluna to pieces and yes some times I do get frustrated also but I would not change anything just for the fact that I belong to a careing and thoughts group of people that think and have opinion as I myself do. It is wonderful. Bless you.

This situation is not unique to Toluna - it has happened to me on other survey sites as well as Toluna and complaints have produced mixed results; a couple times I did get the points. By now I have remembered the actual survey firms and the still open surveys and will try to get DQd at the beginning or just log off the page. BTW, I have been offered identical surveys on several sites, so do not blame Toluna, but do complain if their partner rips you off.

As you can see by the many other people here on Toluna who have been ripped off, that this is a frequent situation. Toluna always has some excuse or tries to deflect blame back onto the survey taker. But we know that it isn't just incompetence by Toluna. It is IN FACT that we are being ripped off on these long surveys. The real solution is that no survey (including demographics) should be more than 6 to 8 minutes long). We'll still get ripped off sometimes, but it won't feel so bad. If they think they have 20 or 30 minutes of questions (usually badly formed and often repetitive), then they should break it down into at least 3 separate surveys. Also, exacly WHY don't they remember our demographics anyway? Haven't they heard of cookies or just remembering our user ID or even our IP address? There is something seriously wrong with the effort and expertise of Toluna.

That has also happened to me. It is not right. I emailed Toluna, even with the survey ID. I was told that I had only answered the "preview" questions, after 30 minutes of detailed questions! I believe that I completed the entire survey. I have been disqualified before, after 5 - 10 questions, about 1 - 2 minutes. I am okay with that, I probably didn't meet the quota required. However, after answering detailed questions, viewing pictures, etc. I completed the survey! What can you do? What will Toluna do?

This has happened to me as well. very annoying. when i first started this i thought it would be a fun way to earn some change in my spare time but the more i try the worse it gets, all i ever recieve is "drawing entries" which, dont get me wrong id love to win a lump of cash, but id sure rather just have the points. i get to complete one every once in a while but i think for about every 5 i try, im lucky to get all the way throught one. oh well i guess i shouldve known there would be a catch lol

Don't take it personally because it does happen to everybody here. I too feel some surveys are designed that way and they are an easy way to get members to take one for the team (or dozens really). I've also noticed a trend of convenient "technical difficulties" after finishing a long survey. Note too that it's only after finishing the survey (wink, wink) as I never get these "we are experiencing technical difficulties" while in the middle of a survey. No, just like being "disqualified" after finishing a survey, they wait until I've finished a 40 minute survey to tell me thanks and then transfer me to a page telling me "Sorry, we are experiencing technical difficulties". I'm always left ranting "well that was convenient!" :)
My biggest issue with Toluna right now is still having 35 pending incentives going all the way back to the beginning of November though. I'd be happy to just get my incentives right now.. even aside from the games they're playing after completing surveys. I've even been backing off from taking surveys lately because of it..

Yup! That has happened to me, numerous times. And, I have emailed my complaints. Now, I just refuse to do surveys over 20 minutes, regardless of how many points. As a self employed person, my free time is too limited and too valuable to be ripped off like that. If everyone refuses to complete those long surveys that hold us hostage, then steal opinions & data from us, they will shorten the surveys and be more careful about ripping us off.

This happens to me almose every single day. It just happened to me now. I was doing a survey of toys I had brought for Christmas eigher online or at a store. We were doing just great then they asked me for my income. Bango, they kicked me right out. And it was for 8,000 points. I think they get the information they want then by kicking us out the get out of paying the points to us. Stupid survey companies.

3A football semifinals: Thunder, Dons set their sights on reaching title game this time
"I feel they're up to the challenge up front. We definitely see their pressure, (that) I think we have to manage in order to be successful. And Jason has to be smart with the ball," Chambers said. "He can't just sit back there and hold it and stare down receivers, that sophomores tend to do.
"He needs to be on his game as well, it's a joint effort, but that's what we have to do is manage that pressure. On film, that's all they do — throw guys at you."
Desert Hills is equally explosive on offense and behind quarterback Ty Rutledge has averaged 40 points in the last five games. Rutledge has thrown for 1,896 yards and 21 touchdowns and ran for 1,119 yards and 14 TDs but has struggled with ball security (12 INTs), also.
"He can throw the ball really well and is a duel threat with his legs. He's a very underrated quarterback in the state. I think he's an incredible athlete and does a lot of good things for us," Franke said of Rutledge.
"We're efficient enough to run the ball and throw the ball when they stack the box against us. That's what makes us tough to defend, we have athletes all over the field and we're not one-dimensional," Franke added. "We can do both; we're pretty balanced. You just have to pick your spots and take what the defense allows you to take. You can't put yourself in third-and-long situations and you have to be able to pick up some third downs along the way."
The Dons provide a stiff test defensively as one of the stoutest units in 3A. This year, they've secured 17 interceptions and found the quarterback 19 times.
"I think Spanish Fork does a great job, especially in the backend with a lot of their athletes. They're really similar to what we do," Franke said. "The team that doesn't turn the ball over and the team that can convert on third down and move the sticks is probably going to come away with the win on this one."

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
ZyGEM entered into a number of agreements that strengthen its market presence in the Asia Pacific region. They include distribution agreements for its DNA extraction kits in China and South Korea and alliances in New Zealand and parts of Australia to strengthen offerings in its home market.
The deals give exclusive distribution rights for the full line of DNA extraction kits in China to Shanghai Sangon Biological Engineering Technology & Services and in South Korea to SolGent. In addition, in New Zealand and certain parts of Australia, ZyGEM is now co-distributing custom oligonucleotides from Integrated DNA Technologies, PCR reagents from Quanta Biosciences, sample storage products from Biomatrica, and laboratory microplates from Porvair Sciences.
ZyGEM says that the early success of distribution agreements for its DNA extraction kits in the Americas and Europe allowed the company to expand into new territories. The firm gave VWR exclusive distribution rights in North and South America in November 2008. In March VWR also obtained a nonexclusive European license.
ZyGEM's technology uses a thermophilic enzyme to extract DNA from samples using a single closed-tube system. It is adaptable for use with various off-the-shelf laboratory automation systems, according to the company. Offerings include prepGEM™ for extraction from animal tissue samples for life science research as well as animal health and agricultural applications. forensicGEM™ kits have been formulated for DNA extraction from crime scenes and other sample sources. livestockGEM™ kits are used for DNA extraction from a range of animal sample types.

Aged 21, Harry was one of the youngest helicopter pilots to serve in the Falklands war. Following two tours as a Royal Navy pilot, Harry moved to Asia in 1988 with his wife Kate to work in finance and start a family. Surviving a marital crisis, he sold his share of a successful partnership and returned to the UK in 1997. After acquiring a 1st class degree in Psychology from Bristol University, he started what has become Britain's most successful local relationship project, Bristol Community Family Trust, teaching practical relationship skills to thousands of couples. He has now been married 25 years and has six children.
His writing includes co-authoring two influential family policy papers for the Centre for Social Justice – Breakdown Britain and Breakthrough Britain – writing several high profile research papers, and editing an online international academic book What Works in Relationship Education. His two paperback books are Mentoring Marriages and Let's Stick Together – The Relationship Book for New Parents, both published by Lion Hudson.
His latest book, Scram: The Untold Story of the Helicopter War in the Falklands, was published by Preface in March 2012.
Assistant's name: Laura McNeill
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Telephone number: 020 7344 1033
April 2nd, 2012 marks the 30th anniversary of the invasion of the Falkland Islands. This is the thrilling untold story of the young helicopter pilots — most barely out of their teens — who risked their lives during this brief but ferocious war. In April 1982 Harry Benson was a 21 year-old Royal Navy commando helicopter pilot, fresh out of training and one of the youngest helicopter pilots to serve in the Falklands War. These pilots, nicknamed 'junglies', flew most of the land-based missions in the Falklands in their Sea King and Wessex helicopters. Much of what happened in the war — the politics, task force ships, Sea Harriers, landings, Paras and Marines — is well-known and documented. But almost nothing is known of the young commando helicopter pilots and aircrewmen who made it all happen on land and sea. This is their 'Boys Own' story, told for the very first time.
Harry Benson has interviewed forty of his former colleagues for the book creating a tale of skill, initiative, resourcefulness, humour, luck, and adventure. This is a fast-paced, meticulously researched and compelling account written by someone who was there, in the cockpit of a Wessex helicopter. None of these pilots has spoken before about:
– The two helicopter crashes and eventual rescue following a failed SAS mission high up on an in hospitable glacier in South Georgia
– The harrowing story of the Exocet strike that sunk the transport ship Atlantic Conveyor
– The daring missile raid on the Argentine high command in Port Stanley – The constant mortar fire faced while supporting troops and evacuating casualties – The hair-raising head-on attacks by Argentine jets on British helicopters
– The extraordinary courage shown during the evacuation of the bombed landing ship 'Sir Galahad'
If you liked Apache, Vulcan 607 and Chickenhawk, you'll love Scram! The word "Scram" was coined by Falklands helicopter pilots to warn other 'junglies' to go to ground or risk being shot down as Argentinean jets blasted through 'bomb alley'. The term has never been used before or since.

Newt Gingrich Going to Hawaii — for Fund-raising, Obviously
It's definitely not for his anniversary.
Newt Gingrich always promises that he is going to run an unconventional campaign. Now, he's turning convention on its head by traveling thousands of miles out of his way for a fund-raising stop in Hawaii, of all places. Some cynical reporters are already implying that Gingrich is only spending a few days in this beautiful, tropical paradise because the "jaunt nearly coincides with the Gingriches' eleventh wedding anniversary, which is tomorrow." But asked why Gingrich is traveling to Hawaii, Gingrich's spokesman responded, "Fundraising", so, it's that.

To help hype yet another version of the hugely popular zombie game, Capcom opened a temporary human butcher shop in the Smithfield meat market East London. Yes it is real meat, though apparently it is not human meat. I don't know what kind of meat it is.
The limbs, torsos, and offal (including penis tips) were crafted by food artist Sharon Baker.
Sales proceeds will go to the Limbless Association.
Below is the video ad for the game.

When Katy Perry got hitched this weekend, one of her best friends Rihanna missed the wedding. Though the singer threw Katy a bachelorette bash in September, she failed to attend the big occasion.
Russell Brand and Katy Perry got married in an Indian ceremony Saturday, and as her wedding gift, the bride got a tigress! The British comedian reportedly picked a very costly, gorgeous female Bengal tiger for his stunning bride.
Katy Perry had the final night of single-girl debauchery, before tying the knot to beau Russell Brand, and taking over the responsibilities of her married life.
First Angelina Jolie called her longtime partner Brad Pitt a "wonderful" father. Now singer Katy Perry calls her fiancé Russell Brand a "perfect partner" and believes he'll be a good baby daddy.
'California Gurls' singer, Katy Perry whose number is topping the US charts has been affianced to Russell Brand, the English actor and comedian, whom she was dating since September, last year.
Are Katy Perry and her fiancé Russell Brand already married? Yes! That's true. If reports swirling around the internet are to be believed Katy has wed Russell in secret.
While partying at a nightclub following the MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday, Katy Perry badly injured her leg and had to be taken to a local hospital in Toronto, Canada.
Singer Katy Perry and her comedian fiancé Russell Brand are set to marry in India later this year, the couple's best pal Rihanna revealed in an interview with U.S. radio DJ Ryan Seacrest.
Los Angeles, January 14 -- Rumors ran rampant recently that newly engaged U.S. pop star Katy Perry is pregnant! But, the "I Kissed A Girl" singer has rubbished rumors she is expecting.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- Cleveland Indians reliever Juan Lara showed some improvement but remained in critical condition Friday, nearly a week after his car crash in the Dominican Republic.
"Juan has showed mild improvement from the lung trauma he suffered in the accident," said Dashira Martinez, spokesman for Santo Domingo's Plaza de la Salud hospital.
His condition has not changed otherwise, Martinez said.
The 26-year-old left-hander suffered a fractured spine, severe brain trauma, two broken ribs and a punctured lung in the crash Saturday night. Two others were killed.
Lara had been pitching in the Dominican winter league. Lino Diaz, the Indians' director of Latin American operations, traveled to the country to check on Lara, but Dominican doctors said his condition was too fragile to risk moving him to a U.S. hospital.

With the holiday season just around the corner, you might already be on your way to buy that corner Christmas tree you've been eyeing for weeks, or still trying to find the one that tickles your fancy. Fortunately, today's realistic artificial Christmas trees last for years, provide more variety when it comes to color and style, and are available all year 'round.

Spy Shots: Even better view of '08 Cadillac STS
After being floored by how good the Cadillac CTS looked and felt in Detroit, we can't wait to see how the upcoming '08 STS will turn out, as well. With similar styling upgrades promised (foreshadowed by the new SLS), the STS could finally come closer to the performance and sophistication of its identified European competitors like the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Thanks to BusinessWeek, we already know the interior will be a huge improvement. Lifted from the Chinese market long-wheelbase SLS, it looks polished and well-laid-out. And now we have a better look at how the exterior is shaping up, as well. KGP caught one in the wild and a nearly naked one at that. You can see the whole handsomely slab-sided flank from chrome fender vent to unadorned tail in the photo. It also sports different wheels and a shrouded, but noticeably different nose, as well. Look closely and you'll see a sharply detailed grille very similar to the on the new CTS.

Mark: Think about what the Dems are trying to claim here. The deleted emails were contained solely on Hillary's unsecured email server. She deleted those emails and then had the server wiped. The server was eventually turned over to the FBI. Safe to say the sever is no longer actually in use at this point. So the Dems would have you believe that Trump was actively asking the Russians to hack into a non functioning server to obtain deleted emails from a server that has been wiped clean. Even the FBI with all of their technology could not obtain the emails with direct access to the server.

Stargazing with Stellarium
If you like astronomy but you don't like sitting outside on cold nights, try stargazing from a virtual planetarium.
Stellarium [1] is a virtual planetarium application that simulates the night sky and shows you constellations and celestial bodies. The goal of Stellarium is to provide users with a clear, annotated view of what they would see in the night sky with eyes, binoculars, or a small telescope. Like a real planetarium, the Stellarium virtual planetarium can display a view of the sky from other locations on the Earth or other points in history. Setting Up
To use Stellarium's full feature scope, you will need to download the latest version of the program from the CVS. The cvs program, which you can install using YaST or Apt-get, is required for this. Another essential requirement is 3D drivers for your graphics adapter, as the program needs a fair amount of graphics performance. First log in to the Stellarium CVS at the command line, and press [Enter] when you are prompted for a password:

In accordance with DfT regulations, a new body scanner has been installed in LCY central search and will begin to be used with randomly-selected passengers and staff from September 1.
The 'eqo Millimeter Wave Scanner' is the latest in security-screening technology, scanning passengers quickly, easily and unobtrusively. Although the scanning process is obligatory for those passengers who are selected, it can also be chosen by passengers in preference to a 'pat down' search. The scan - which takes a matter of seconds - displays a generic mannequin figure with no distinguishing features.
The scanner uses millimeter wave imaging to produce the image, which will highlight any concealed, potentially threatening, objects. Millimetre wave technology is harmless and the scanner can be used by anyone, regardless of any medical or physical condition, who is able to stand in the scanner.
Frequently Asked Questions

Videogamer.com has retracted the August 29 date it posted for the Wii, PS2 and PS3 versions of the European Rock Band last night, saying it's contacted EA and was told the info was incorrect. From the site:
VideoGamer.com earlier contacted EA regarding the date following the presence of an August 29 release date on a Rock Band fact sheet.
EA's confirmation has now been retracted. The publisher telling VideoGamer.com that the European release date for Rock Band on PS3, Wii and PS2 "isn't confirmed, and is on the factsheet in error".
All EA is willing to confirm is a "later this summer" date, which is back where we started.

Dr. Seuss: The Lorax Stars Talk the Power & Message of Dr. Seuss - Betty White, Zac Efron, Danny DevitoSunny Chanel
Dr. Seuss was many things. Clever storyteller, amazing artist, creative genius, but he also was a messenger…a messenger for Mother Earth.
One of his biggest and best odes to the environment and our earth was The Lorax. And the message of his beloved book has been retooled, renewed and recycled into a 3D blockbuster of the same name. The feature film The Lorax opens nationwide on March 2nd.
The cast of the film, which features Danny Devito, Ed Helms, Rob Riggle and the one and only Betty White. These entertainment greats sat down with a roomful of equally eco-loving bloggers and talked about the importance of Dr. Seuss' message. What did they say?
Betty White 1 of 4On The Lorax: "It's all the things that I believe in and love. And I think it's a great message to send out to kids to get the thing across about appreciating trees, for example. Overall, the beautiful colors and the celebrating the environment and the caring about the environment, which is one of my big, big, big things, and the fact of looking for trees and wanting to find trees. Dr. Seuss has a way of doing, you could get into it. I hope everybody else loves it as much as those of us involved in it."
"What I love is that we pass along that message to your offspring because they're going to be the ones passing that message on forward. And so, I think the more we can encourage, not preach, encourage appreciation of clean air and clean water and the things that, sadly, we're abusing this beautiful planet we live on as hard as we can. We have to try to get an appreciation going to stop some of that would be marvelous."
Zac Efron 2 of 4On being eco-conscious: I try and do as much as I can, but I find myself still being too wasteful."
"But, it's those little things. I mean, plastic bottles are so convenient, and they're just the dumbest inventions in the world. And it's amazing. . But, the more I learn, the more I try and do my part."
"Being in a film like this is one way I feel like I can contribute and plant a few seeds out there."
Danny Devito 3 of 4About The Lorax story: "It is a mirror in a way to what's happening all over the world, in the rainforests and in our country. And the more we can protect parks and trees and it's not an "anti logging" message at all because the main thing is what the Once-ler didn't do and how he redeemed himself was saving that seed. And when he gave the seed to the kid to take to plant, that's the message really of the movie, for us to be aware of the fact that we can make a difference, and we can still be commercially viable, and we can still do all the things that we naturally do as long as we're not hurting the environment. I don't really think we have to rely on oil myself personally. I don't think we should, anyway, in the future. I love it when people talk about capping the emissions and we've got industries that we've already started. So, we've gone along the wrong path in a lot of ways. We need to retool and figure out people's lives so that everybody has a job. The pendulum is like anything. To swing that thing, it takes a while to get it going in the right way."
Ed Helms 4 of 4Dr. Seuss had a really prominent sort of section on my childhood bookshelf, which is one of those decisions that your parents had to make. But, we, my brother and sister and I all just were totally enthralled with Dr. Seuss. And The Lorax in particular, for some reason, loved this book, and so did I."

We all know I am normally behind the times, so it should come as no surprise to anyone that I have only just now signed up for Tumblr.
I follow a lot of different fandoms, and my interests tend to be all over the place when it comes to music, books, movies, art, and the like, so this is great because it's like Twitter but with pictures. And you can blog. You're not limited to 140 characters! (Which isn't to say that I don't love Twitter because I really do. You can be friends with Batman on there.)
It's super addictive, but don't let that discourage you. What's another social media addiction anyway? Put it on your ever growing list my friends!
For those who would like to follow, my Tumblr handle is Rosephan, same as Twitter.
Happy blogging! And reblogging!

North bands take first, second place at festival
Published: Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 7:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 4, 2012 at 7:23 p.m.
EDNEYVILLE — The best band at the Dixie Classic Festival held this past weekend in Washington, D.C. was North Henderson High School's Symphonic Band, which was named as "Honor Group" at the event.
The school's concert band also performed and walked away with the second-highest score of the day as Henderson County's representation landed a one-two punch by taking first and second places.
The bands also received "superior" ratings from the judges, said North Henderson Band Director Steve Sigmon.
"I'm very happy, of course," he said. "In terms of the quality of our program, we're there. We are playing at the state and national level. At this point, there's no catching up to do."
Sigmon was hired four years ago after the band program had basically faded away. He credited several years of hard work by the school, parents and students for getting the program back on track.
The 53-member symphonic band performed several compositions, including "Army of the Nile, "Molly on the Shore" and "Espirit de Corps."
The concert band has 36 students who competed in the contest, Sigmon said.
Sixteen bands competed at the Dixie Classic Festival. The only other school from North Carolina was a group from Raleigh, Sigmon said.
North Henderson's bands are scheduled to compete in Chattanooga, Tenn., next month in the grand nationals, he said.

Heavy rain showers caused street flooding across Colorado Springs Wednesday night.
Raging waters turned one street near Austin Bluffs and Academy into a river. It was too much for one vehicle, which was stranded in the middle of the road.
"This road has always been bad," said Robert Miller, who lives nearby. "I thought I'd check it out, make sure there was no one in it."
All over Colorado Springs, drivers tried to inch their way across flooded streets, even as water cascaded over the road.
Jonathan Cunningham lives in a mobile home near Airport and Powers that backs up to Sand Creek. He is keeping a close eye on rising water levels, and is worried his home might flood.
"It's scary," said Cunningham. "It's getting further and further up the river bank."
The Templeton Gap floodway is also running high. The fast moving water has flooded part of the low-lying embankment, and it will likely take some time for water levels to return to normal.
Most of the roads around town are expected to be fine for the Thursday morning commute.

Ribbon-Cutting of the New York City Watertrail, Thursday, March 27, 2008, Valentino Pier, Red Hook, Brooklyn
Sebago contingent arrived first of the paddlers. Jerry & Stevie stowing gear.
Stevie & John bring a Gowanus Dredgers canoe down to the water. This ended up being the boat in which Adrian Benepe, NYC Commissioner of Parks, went for a quick spin with the rest of the paddlers once the ribbon was cut.
Jerry gets interviewed by "It's My Park!"
Meanwhile, Jerry, Stevie, Minh & I arrange the boats as the gentleman in the blue shirt directs us.
Laurie, another Sebagoite, arrives. Have boat, will paddle!
The Staten Island contingent arrives...
And they are welcomed by the enthusiastic "It's My Park!" team & the Queens Commissioner of Parks, Dorothy Lewandowski (who's an avid paddler herself & really spearheaded the effort to create the Watertrail).
Adrian Benepe welcoming us.
Dorothy Lewandowski was next - she thanked all the people who made it possible, individually as much as possible - this was a really good effort by a whole lot of local individuals & organizations.
Bad picture, GOOD crowd. Despite a discouraging weather forecast, the turnout was really nice. I know I wasn't the only one who took a day off from work, either!
Marcus Demuth has got some big plans this year - 1. Circumnavigate Iceland 2. Compete in the "elite" category for the Mayor's Cup Race (full circumnavigation of Manhattan). That means surfski or marathon racing kayak. This is his new boat, and he paddled it down to Red Hook from Chelsea. I'm impressed - my poor surfski never gets wet in the wintertime.
Oh, jeeze, would you look at that. How shocking. You'd think they could have found some COMPETENT kayakers for this shindig - but no, they get this inept crew who just can't seem to keep our boats rightside up!... ... ... Ha, ha, did I fool you? That's Jerry, I think, doing a little rolling - those who were able to showing off some mad kayak skilz was always part of the plan. That water's still pretty frosty, but we had fun!
Ceremony's done, but the pre-shindig consensus had been that as long as we were going to be in kayaks, in full winter gear, at Valentino Pier in Red Hook, we might as well PADDLE! Yeah! Been a while since I've been here...and I have a question...
What the heck IS that thing? Cirque du Soleil's fallback plan if they don't get Pier 40? Oh, and I had to laugh afterwards at one thing that says I may have been boating in NY long enough that I might be said to have become blase...I was so focused on the mysterious thing I actually didn't notice that the Statue of Liberty was in the picture.
The section of Brooklyn waterfront we paddled today has been undergoing some interesting developments - it's still an active port, but it's also the area where the Brooklyn Bridge Park is located, and there's a lot of development/gentrification in the area. I hope that the new residents and the old can find a balance - obviously, I like waterfront parks, especially the ones with boat launches, but I think it would be quite sad if the Brooklyn waterfront lost these last working cargo docks.
Northbound on the Buttermilk Channel, Governor's Island in the background. Not a brilliant picture but taken about 30 seconds before Stevie spotted the first seal I've ever seen anywhere in New York Harbor. Unfortunately the camera was already off & in the PFD and as I fumbled for it, the seal decided I was stalking it (my fault, and I know better) and left. Fortunately it was not really spooked and was back on the beach by the time we returned - that time we kept at a distance & it didn't leave. There've been more & more harbor seals spotted in the upper harbor - it was great to see one with my own eyes, for a change!
A little more industrial character.
Quickly approaching the Brooklyn Bridge. Nice flood, we're flying. We set out with no real plan but I made a joke about how the currents were actually just about perfect for paddling up to the Brooklyn Bridge Park & going for pizza at Grimaldi's - well, we didn't make it to Grimaldi's, but everybody liked the idea of a lunch paddle, so the joke became The Plan!
Brooklyn Bridge Park! Unfortunately this is NOT part of the NYC watertrail - I'm not even positive whether this is somewhere we're allowed to land these days or not, Brooklyn Bridge Park is a sort of strange situation, and if we'd planned to do this we would've checked the regs in advanced - but it was a total spur of the moment thing, nobody chased us away & we didn't come back after our pizza lunch (not Grimaldi's, but very good) to find tickets under our deck bungees.

Stress & facial tension cause aging, skin discoloration, fine lines & wrinkles. SkinVie is a new naturally derived alternative to Botox™ made with 7 ingredients clinically proven to reduce wrinkles & release muscle & skin tensions that cause aging.
Botox™ was created for the purpose of forcing those facial muscles to relax, thus temporarily hiding the appearance of wrinkles, but SkinVie is different.

"When I put it on the muscle tension in my face, that I didn't even know I had, instantly relaxes and is released in this beautiful, calming soothing way." Says Victoria Kinney Model and Pageant Queen.
"The areas with the most tension begin to feel tingly and released and relaxed, usually around my eyes, crows feet, mouth and forehead." Adds Victoria. "It also feels really good knowing that the ingredients are good for my skin and fight aging while also feeling so good and releasing stress!"
The first product of its kind, SkinVie utilizes the miraculous healing power of clinically proven ingredients that work together to heal and repair the skin, while hydrating, promoting cell regeneration, soothing and relaxing tension and protecting from free radicals, leaving users with younger looking, healthier, relaxed skin. With decades of experience in skin physiology and dermatology, SkinVie scientists utilize a proprietary blend of 7 clinically proven ingredients, scientifically-
• Releasing facial tension, leaving skin feeling soothed and vibrant
• Decreasing fine lines & wrinkles
• Lifting, firming, moisturizing and nourishing the skin
• Boosting skin's natural ability to repair itself through cell regeneration
• Promoting even toned, radiant, younger-looking complexion
• Relaxing stress-related facial tensions and contractions such as frowning that can lead to the deepening of visible fine lines, facial anxiety and wrinkles – expression wrinkles
• Normalizing cell matrix proteins (HAS-2, collagen V, perlecan) responsible for maintaining skin's elasticity, firmness and smoothness that can be compromised during times of stress,
• Helping to normalize cell oxygen rate which leads to an improvement of skin's radiance and relaxation.

Karl White hasn't set up a display booth at the Forrest Wood Cup for a couple of years, but he'll be back this year when the FLW Expo opens its doors in the Shreveport Convention Center Aug. 16-18.
White, whose vast collection of fishing tackle and equipment is unequalled, is bringing a few old friends with him - Ole Evinrude, the founder of Evinrude; Carl Kiekhaefer, who started Mercury Marine; Lauri Rapala, whose name says it all; and Carl Lowrance, whose "little green box" transformed the fishing world. Of course, White never actually knew most of the pioneers of fishing tackle and equipment, but in a real sense he became a friend and fan of all of them through the products that they introduced. After visitors to the FWC Expo walk through his display booth and view "A History of Fishing," they, too, will know a lot more about the innovators who helped grow the sport.
The Oklahoma collector and his wife Beverly will have plenty of rare and unusual articles of fishing history on display at the Expo - everything from ancient Egyptian fish hooks and pre-Columbian fishing tools, to Chinese fishing poles and early American reels worth big bucks. White will also conduct a tackle-collecting seminar at 11 a.m. on Saturday in the Expo, and answer questions that visitors might have about their collectibles.
As varied as White's display is, it represents only a small portion of his collection. If he took his entire assemblage of fishing tackle, boats, motors and everything else associated with the sport of fishing to the Expo, it would fill up most of the Shreveport Convention Center - or a museum.
Among the rarities that await Expo visitors are products associated with:
• Mercury. Mercury Marine started as a company that made outboard motors for others. In 1938, Chicago mail-order retail Montgomery Ward offered an inline 3-cylinder outboard called the Thor. The company that made the motor in Cedarburg, Wis., fell on hard times and was sold to a 33-year-old engineer named Carl Kiekhaefer. His company continued to make outboards for Montgomery Ward under the Thor and Sea King lines, but in 1939 Kiekhaefer also began to produce a 3-horsepower version that he named for the mythological messenger of the gods known for his speed: Mercury. Kiekhaefer won a contract with Western Auto to produce the Wizard line of outboards in 1940. If that wasn't enough, by the end of World War II Keikhaefer Corporation also had become the largest manufacturer of chainsaws in the world. It was in the post-war years that Keikhaefer decided the company needed more room to grow. He bought a dairy farm in Fond Du Lac, Wis., and converted it into the production facility for the Mercury line, which became the company's focus.
• Minn Kota. Though electric boat motors predate gas-powered motors, it wasn't until 1934 that O.G. Schmidt of Fargo, N.D., combined a starter motor from a Ford Model A, a flexible shaft and a propeller to fashion an electric motor that clamped to a boat's transom or gunnel. Other fishermen convinced Schmidt that he was on to something, and he formed a company to manufacture the motors. Because his plant was so close to the Minnesota state line, Schmidt decided to call the company Minn Kota.
• Rapala. The Swedish company's balsa minnows date back to 1936, but weren't introduced to the United States until the 50s. The original jerkbaits were covered with candy wrap foil and a malleable film that protected the finish. No other lure before or since made such an impact when it was first brought to the American public's attention via an article in Life Magazine.
• Plano. An Illinois company that perfected injection molding, Plano opened its doors in 1932. The company made plastic boxes, covers and components for various uses, and in 1952 it added tackleboxes. No doubt company founder and avid angler Warren Henning foresaw the demand for lighter and more durable boxes to replace the heavy wooden or metal boxes of the day. That first Plano tacklebox out of the molding shop was mottled green and white, similar to the one White will display in Shreveport.
• Evinrude. Ole Evinrude's first outboard motor, which didn't have a skeg and generated about 2 horsepower, was produced beginning in 1907 when Evinrude was 30 years old. Evinrude's design was an instant hit and the mechanical configuration of his patented "marine propulsion mechanism" became the model for all motors built since. Evinrude Motor Company was founded in Milwaukee in 1909 to accommodate the burgeoning demand. The hand-built Evinrude weighed 62 pounds and cost $62. A 1910 newspaper advertisement advised: "Don't Row...use the Evinrude Detachable Row Boat Motor...Clamped on any square stern boat in 2 minutes..."
• Lowrance. Though the "little green box" is often referred to as the first Lowrance sonar, it's predated by the red box flasher manufactured for founder Carl Lowrance when the company was located in Joplin, Mo. Dissatisfied with the quality of the red-box units delivered in 1958, Lowrance decided to take over manufacturing in 1959. It made all the difference. Owing to the growing popularity of its Fish Lo-K-Tor fishfinders and the need to expand, the Lowrance company relocated to Tulsa in 1964.
• Motorguide. Before Mississippi entrepreneur G.H. Harris came along, anglers who wanted to move along a shoreline slowly either had to scull the boat with a paddle or use an electric trolling motor with tiller steering. In 1947 Harris designed a foot-control model and a patent was granted for it in March 1951. Harris and a partner started making and selling the trolling motor, but in 1961 Harris granted manufacturing rights to Herschede Hall Clock Company of Starkville, Miss., in return for royalties. The company that started life as Guide-Rite, later became MotorGuide.
• Folgers. How does the Folgers coffee can, circa 1947, in White's display figure in fishing tackle history? In a big way, as it turns out. In 1947, Texas inventor R.D. Hull used the top from a Folgers can to make the prototype of a new type of reel. According to Hull, his reel would not backlash. Hull successfully pitched the idea to officials of Tulsa's Zero Hour Bomb Company, which made electric time bombs used in fracturing deposits of oil to make it more accessible to drilling. The company's first reel, offered for sale in 1949, was called the Standard. A Model 22 and a Model 33 followed, with the latter proving to be wildly popular with fishermen who were making the switch to "spinning line," as monofilament was known at the time. That first Folgers prototype reel is now encased in the lobby of the company's Tulsa headquarters. In 1956, the Zero Hour Bomb Company's name was shortened to Zebco.
As a proud sponsor of FLW, Walmart offers one of the most comprehensive selections of fishing tackle and equipment in the industry. To find great deals on Walmart's entire collection of rods, reels, baits and electronics, click here.
