In just a few days, my friend and I will be taking part in a rally across Europe, covering 12 countries in 7 days in a 17-year-old car bought for just £333 (€400; $500). We are doing this to raise funds for our chosen charity, Action Medical Research .
We plan to capture a timelapse of the entire trip, condensing each day of driving into a short video.
There are plenty of excellent timelapse scripts available for CHDK, but capturing images from a moving vehicle has specific requirements. I was unable to find a script for this purpose, so I decided to create 'Drivelapse' (attached).
Hardware requirement
The script was written for a Canon SD800 IS (IXUS 850 IS). It may work with other camera models, but I have been unable to test this. Attempting to use the script with a camera that has a variable aperture as opposed to an ND filter will result in the depth of field changing between shots. It was designed for IXUS/SD-series cameras.
CHDK version
The script has been tested with CHDK 1.1. It has not been tested with other versions.
The script has the following configurable parameters:
Target interval (sec)
This specifies how often a photo is taken. This should be 1 second for the smoothest results, but a larger interval can be considered if you have limited storage space.
Default: 1
Focus (mm)
This specifies the focus distance. Usually, this should be 'infinity' to capture the scenery, but you can reduce it if you need to focus on something closer to the camera.
Default: 65535 (infinity)
Target Tv96
This specifies the shutter speed to be used. A small amount of motion blur is desirable as it will result in a smoother video.
Adding or subtracting 96 from this value will result in a doubling or halving of the shutter speed respectively.
Default: 576 (1/60 sec)
Minimum Sv96
This controls the minimum ISO to be used. It should be set to the minimum Sv96 for your camera model.
Default: 371* (ISO 80)
Maximum Sv96
This controls the maximum ISO to be used. It should be set to the maximum Sv96 value for your camera model, or lower if the noise level is not acceptable.
Default: 795* (ISO 1600)
* These are the Sv96 values for a Canon SD800 IS. To determine the correct values for your camera model, you can use this script .
The default settings should be fine for the majority of use cases.
- Manually set the white balance to 'Sunny'. Do not use auto white balance or the colour temperature will vary between shots.
- Set the metering mode to 'Center weighted'. This gives more consistent results than evaluative metering.
- Set exposure compensation if required. This is largely dependent upon how much sky appears in the composition relative to the road, but generally +1/3 produces good results.
- Set the image format to 16:9.
- Set the image quality to 'Normal'.
- Securely mount the camera to the inside of the vehicle. Use of a windscreen suction mount is recommended.
- Powering the camera from a DC adapter (or AC adapter in conjunction with a power inverter) is highly recommended.
- If required, set the script to auto start when the camera is powered on.
How it works
The script allows the camera to enable/disable the built-in ND filter according to the current light level. It then sets the shutter speed to Target Tv96, and adjusts the Sv96 (ISO) to achieve a correct exposure taking into account any exposure compensation. This works much like a shutter-priority mode.
If a correct exposure cannot be obtained due to over-exposure even at Minimum Sv96, the shutter speed is increased until a correct exposure can be achieved. This will result in a shutter speed faster than Target Tv96 if it is particularly bright.
If a correct exposure cannot be obtained due to under-exposure even at Maximum Sv96, the shutter speed is decreased until a correct exposure can be achieved. This will result in a shutter speed slower than Target Tv96 if light levels are low, but has the advantage of creating some nice light trails when driving through tunnels etc.
The exposure is recalculated prior to each shot to allow for changing lighting conditions.
Status display
The script will display the amount of recording time left until the memory card becomes full. Note that if you are using a memory card that is capable of holding over 9,999 shots, the script will display 'Over X hours' until there are fewer than 9,999 shots remaining.
In addition, the Av96, Tv96 and Sv96 values used for each shot will be displayed.
This sample video was produced using LRTimelapse in conjunction with Adobe Lightoom . It was rendered at 25fps.
This was one of a number of test videos that we made prior to the rally. It is slightly underexposed, so could have done with +1/3 or +2/3 of exposure compensation.
A lot of time and testing has gone into developing this script. If you find it useful, please consider making a donation to Action Medical Research .
You can also follow our Facebook page to see our timelapse videos as they are posted. The rally starts on 1 September 2012.
Any comments, suggestions or feedback welcome. Please let me know if you find this script useful, or if you can confirm that it works with any other camera models.

I don't actually know much about the Quakers. Just know that Richard Nixon was raised by one. Not much of a recommendation for them, is it?
I will look into their history though, but the one thing that I do know is that they refuse to fight for their country, while living in it.
That, too, is not much of a recommendation for honor among Quakers, either.

Irtok was a planetary system near Ferenginar. In 2374 Nog floated the possibility that the Dominion has taken Ferenginar, which major Kira Nerys countered that it could not have been taken without first conquering systems like Clarus and Irtok. (DS9: "Profit and Lace")
According to the Star Trek: Star Charts ("United Federation of Planets I"), Irtok was located in or near Ferengi space, in the Alpha Quadrant. This was a single star system. Primary was a Class G star with a magnitude of +5, which was the same brightness as Sol.

Denard Span has been linked to the Nationals in trade rumors dating back to mid-2011 and the Twins finally pulled the trigger today, sending the 28-year-old center fielder to Washington for pitching prospect Alex Meyer.
Span fits what the Nationals were looking for both offensively and defensively, as he's a prototypical leadoff man with good on-base skills and speed who covers plenty of ground in center field. This year he hit .283 with a .342 on-base percentage in 128 games and Span has a career OBP of .357. He's under team control through 2015 at reasonable prices, making $20.25 million over the three seasons.
Meyer was the Nationals' first-round pick in 2011 out of the University of Kentucky and the 6-foot-9 right-hander with a mid-90s fastball had a strong pro debut this year, throwing 129 innings with a 2.86 ERA and 139/45 K/BB ratio between two levels of Single-A. He's certainly not MLB-ready yet, but could be ready at some point in 2014 and the Twins have been desperate to find some hard-throwing starters with top-of-the-rotation potential.
Maybe next week when Yankees acquire Stanton from Marlins
Don't have the prospects to do that.
Good player but the Nats over paid.

In his State of the Union address Tuesday, the president said Congress should write legislation that would give polluters market-based incentives to reduce the emissions blamed for global warming. He said if lawmakers don't do that, his administration will craft executive actions that would cut pollution, help get communities ready for the effects of climate change and encourage increased use of cleaner sources of energy.
Obama says progress can be made against climate change without interrupting economic growth.
The president says that with extreme weather getting more intense and increasingly frequent, lawmakers can believe those events are a coincidence or they can act before it's too late.

May 5, 2016
North Carolina emergency coordinators say Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands will remain closed to tourists over the Labor Day weekend because of damage from Hurricane Irene.
Gov. Beverly Perdue got the news during a briefing Wednesday at the state's emergency response coordination center in Kinston. She said she agrees the damage is too severe for visitors to be accommodated.
Power lines remain down on both islands, which are using generations to provide minimal electricity to emergency responders and residents who did not evacuate. Hatteras remains cut off from the mainland after the storm carved four breaches into Highway 12.
North Carolina Emergency Management operations chief David Weldon says it will likely be two weeks or more until all electricity is restored to Ocracoke Island, and probably even longer for Hatteras Island.

Beehive Yourself: No more non-league hotshots for Brentford?
11:54 24 May 2012
PA Archive/Press Association Images
"This way of thinking has enabled the recent signings of Harlee Dean from Southampton and Adam Forshaw from Everton, who could potentially be key to success this coming season."
At a time when the standard of non-league football is flourishing, Brentford are casting their net further afield in the quest to assemble a squad that will challenge for promotion.
This week saw non-league football's first million pound export in Jamie Vardy The Fleetwood Town talisman left the Fylde coast club for a shot at Championship football with Leicester City.
This came two days before 40,000 ascended on Wembley Stadium for the Conference play-off final between York and Luton - two clubs steeped in Football League heritage who have fallen on hard times. People are taking notice of non-league now more than ever.
Apart from, it would seem, Brentford. This is by no means a criticism of the club's extensive scouting network, but a mere observation that whilst in the past the Bees would have gambled on a non-league hotshot - with admittedly mixed results - the direction of the club's ambitions have steered us away from fishing in that familiar pool of talent.
These days the club is keeping a much closer eye on fringe players of teams higher up the pyramid. This way of thinking has enabled the recent signings of Harlee Dean from Southampton and Adam Forshaw from Everton, who could potentially be key to success this coming season.
But since bringing in Sam Wood (Bromley), Leon Legge (Tonbridge Angels) and Simon Moore (Farnborough) three years ago, there has seemingly been little interest from Brentford in the non-league talent pool.
Over the years, Brentford have acquired and nurtured the likes of DJ Campbell, Sam Sodje, Lloyd Owusu and Darren Powell who all went on the play higher up the pyramid.
Perhaps the increasing standard of non-league football is alerting attention of bigger club's than ourselves. And with a higher quality of player comes a higher price tag. The fact that a striker who has never played league football can command a transfer fee of over £1,000,000 is ludicrous.
Brentford are unlikely to be able to compete when it comes to signing this new breed of non-league footballer. But at the same time, the likes of Liam Feeney and Anton Robinson have ended up at clubs at our own level.
I would hope that whilst recruiting talent from the Premier League and abroad, Brentford continue to scour the non-league network for rough diamonds looking to be polished.

An educative film- 'malaria in pregnancy' was inaugurated in Dar es Salaam yesterday by the Minister for Health and Social Welfare, Dr Hadji Mponda.
The glamorous film dubbed –CHUMO has been produced in Tanzania by Media for Development International (MFDI) through funding from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Centre for Communication Programs under the COMMIT project with support from US President's Malaria Initiative and USAID.
CHUMO highlights malaria prevention during pregnancy through a dramatic story.
Inaugurating the film the minister pointed out that said in the country's malaria endemic areas, pregnant women are the main adult risk group for malaria noting that an estimated 50 million pregnant women are exposed to malaria every year, 60 percent of them being in Africa.
More than 10,000 infants die in Sub Sahara Africa alone as a result of malaria infection during pregnancy.
"In Tanzania, all of the estimated 1.7 million pregnant women a year are susceptible to malaria. Malaria also accounts for up to 20 percent of deaths among pregnant women in the country," he said.
He noted that although malaria still remains a major public concern for all Tanzanians, especially for pregnant women and children under age 5, as a country, the country has made tremendous efforts towards combating malaria by implementing proven cost-effective interventions at national scale such as Insecticide Treated Nets, Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS), Intermittent Preventive Treatment in Pregnancy among others.
He revealed that results from 2010 Tanzania Demographic and Health survey (DHS) shows that, almost two thirds (64 percent) of Tanzanians have at least one Insecticide Treated Mosquito Net and they are sleeping under the net every night.
"With the upcoming completion of the mass distribution of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets, that number is just going to go higher. In the past year and a half, the government has distributed more than 18 million of long lasting insecticide treated nets. This is a massive feast that we should all be proud of," h said.
Dr Hadji said despite achievements in the malaria fight, challenges abound.
"Results from 2010 Tanzania Demographic and Health survey shows that it is only 57 percent of pregnant women are sleeping under the net," he pointed out.
Malaria is very fatal during pregnancy and could lead to disastrous consequences to both the mother and unborn baby. Malaria in pregnancy can also lead to severe anemia that can put the women at risk of death. Anemia makes a pregnant woman less able to withstand even moderate blood loss at delivery. This puts the woman at a much greater risk of dying during childbirth.
He said even though the uptake of Sulphurdoxine Pyrimethamine (SP) has great effect in prevention of malaria during pregnancy, studies show that the failure of most pregnant women to attend antenatal early to access and complete the recommended 2 doses of SP remains a key challenge due to community perception, and superstition.
"It is only 26 percent of pregnant women that take the second dose of SP. To help improve the Malaria in Pregnancy statistics in Tanzania and save the lives of many pregnant women and their unborn babies, the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare through the National Malaria Control Program is working with partners to create demand for services, train health providers and ensure that the commodities (vouchers and nets) and medicines like SP are available in the health facilities across Tanzania," he said.
CHUMO is among the initiatives of the ministry to sensitize pregnant women throughout the country, to go to the clinic as soon as they discover they are pregnant, and ensure they get the 2 doses of SP.
"CHUMO is a film that is different from many of the health film you have seen that are loaded with health messages. CHUMO is different because it leverages the power of entertainment to educate the public on Malaria infection during pregnancy that continues to be a major public health problem in Tanzania," the minister elaborated
He reiterated that the film encourages young people to stand up for themselves and fight for what they want in their lives and at the same time communicates messages about malaria in pregnancy through a dramatic story of star-crossed lovers, Amina, Juma and Yustus.

Helpful Definition for: Bars & Taverns
A bar is a place more similar to a cafe, where people go during the morning or the afternoon; a tavern is a place of business in Harrisburg where people gather to drink alcoholic beverages and, more than likely, be served food. Leisure activities and games may also be provided at taverns. Variety of bars is mind-boggling, as bars and taverns have the same variety as restaurants.
Taverns and bars with an outdoor area where beer and other alcoholic drinks are served, even have signs to advertise their presence to potential customers in Harrisburg, and branches and leaves would be hung over the door to give notice that wine could be purchased. Some taverns in Harrisburg sell wine as their only beverage, and a customer can also purchase food brought in from a convenient cook-shop. Taverns seldom offer lodgings or very elaborate feasting, such as would be expected at inns or bars.

El Quebrados is a tiny town (estimated population: 80) located at the northeast end of Tierra Robada, San Andreas, near the Verdant Meadows airstrip. El Quebrados means "The Broken" in Spanish, but incorrectly written (see Trivia). It is situated immediately northwest of Aldea Malvada. It sits on the northern road connecting Tierra Robada to neighboring Bone County to the east, and is the last stop before continuing across Sherman Reservoir. Though the town looks depressive, some facilities are still present, including the El Quebrados Medical Center and El Quebrados Police Station.
- Carl Johnson (if the player has purchased the El Quebrados Safehouse)
- Barbara Schternvart and her sons
- Ambulance
- Kart - Inside the abandoned building near Ammu-Nation (after Cut Throat Business)
- Ranger (if you date Barbara Schternvart)
- Sadler
- Rancher/Freeway spawn point near Sheriff`s office
- Sanchez/Wayfarer spawn point near Sheriff`s office
- Mountain Bike - next to a house on the winding dirt road atop the hill immediately to the west of the town.
- Katana - Behind a house on the northernmost part of the town
- MP5 - Back of building near El Quebrados Barbers
- Flowers in gas station
- Shotgun - On a dock across the road from the Xoomer gas station and near a Skimmer
- Snacks Vending Machine
- El Quebrados Rural Police Department (here Carl meets Barbara Schternvart)
- El Quebrados is Spanish for "The Broken" but incorrectly written, since "El" is singular and "Quebrados" is plural, the correct forms would be "El Quebrado" (singular) or "Los Quebrados" (plural). However, the police chatter pronounces it as "El Quebrado".

INDIAN LAND – A person is on the ground dead, and it's your job to figure out how long the body has been there and what lead to the death.
What are all the parts of the digestive system and what should you be aware of when treating a diabetic patient?
The answers to those inquiries and more are being unraveled this semester in Jill Haun's classroom at Indian Land High School.
A local educator has been recognized with a national award for bringing innovative ideas to the classroom.
Hope Figuero, a fourth-grade teacher at Erwin Elementary School, is one of 100 winners of the 2009 Unsung Heroes award program sponsored by financial institution ING.
ING recognized those teachers for developing innovative programs and incorporating them into lessons.
Figuero, who also received a $2,000 grant, was presented her award earlier this month.
Leroy Springs Student Loans will be available beginning Nov. 1 for students seeking assistance for college costs for the spring semester.
The deadline for receipt of applications is Dec. 1.
The Springs Close Foundation Inc. has made 147 interest-free loans so far this year to college students who live in Lancaster County and Chester and Fort Mill.
Funds advanced will total $453,616 for an average of $3,086 per student. Included in these figures are loans made to students attending York Technical College for an average of $1,500 per student.
The American Red Cross is urging individuals to donate blood as soon as possible.
The blood supply has dropped critically low throughout the Southeast, said Joyce Brendel, interim chief executive officer of American Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region.
Brendel said while all blood types are needed, there is a critical need for types O negative, B negative and A negative.
In the summer, blood shortages often occur because individual donations decrease, along with the number of organizations that sponsor blood drives.
On any given day, you'll see a number of different activities going on at the Preston Blackmon Family Success & Career Center.
In one room, several people work on computer-based programs in preparation to earn their GED (general educational development).
In a second room, three school-age children discuss their multiplication tables, while in another area, a mother reads a bilingual children's book with her two daughters.
Here, the name of the game is self-betterment.
Jan Clark Bragg's addiction to prescription pain killers got so bad that she cashed in her 401(k) to buy more and more pills.
She quit her job, left her husband and spent months "not doing anything," except feeding her drug habit. Then she reached rock bottom.
"It was awful," Bragg said.
Shortly afterward, one of Bragg's friends told her about the Learning Institute for Tomorrow, or LIFT.
The intent, though, was for Bragg to help out LIFT with marketing and advertising.
Years ago, the only supplemental materials a student had to worry about were pencils and notebooks.
But with the emergence of new technologies, their options have blossomed to include computers, Web sites and wireless technology, all of which have become an integral part of daily life for adults and students of all ages.
Lydia Quinn, executive director of planning and accountability for the Lancaster County School District, says technology is a useful tool, no matter the age of the student.
Sara Parker is still reflecting on a recent trip abroad that may prove to be her best learning experience yet.
Parker, a Lancaster native who attends the S.C. Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities, spent eight days in Italy during her spring break in March.
She and about 50 other music students in the school went there to perform in Rome, the Italian capital.
INDIAN LAND – Jada Norman dives in the pool and performs just about every maneuver you'd expect to see from a seasoned swimmer.
Jada, 10, does the butterfly and breaststroke with ease, and can swim long distances using the backstroke.
Her ability to easily glide through the water may make you wonder just how good Jada will be in years to come. But if you ask her, swimming competitively or for acclaim is not even part of the plan.
She simply does it for fun.
INDIAN LAND – It only took a couple of words to spark Taylor Altier's imagination.
Altier, 16, was working as a restaurant hostess at Murphy's Tavern in south Charlotte when a word caught her attention.
From there, the Indian Land High School student created what would soon be her own self-published novel.

Did you clean your boat at the end of last season?
Did you really get down and clean your boat before the winter storms dropped in on us? Many anglers don't do that thorough cleaning, thinking there's still one more trip in the forecast.
Besides the annual tune-up, there's a great deal more attention watercraft needs to look its best.
I'm amazed at the number of anglers who just don't seem to care what their boat looks like, so long as it continues to float. Come on, people. That boat is a sizeable dollar investment. Keep it looking good:
· Grit, sand, pieces of fishing line and melted plastic worms can clog the carpeting, making it unsightly and reducing its life. Rub a wire grill brush across the carpet to loosen ground-in material and then vacuum thoroughly or flush it with water. Just make sure the drain plug isn't in.
· Run the livewell. Slime and leftovers such as fish scales will remain in the wells. Remove the screen from the bottom of the livewell and the screen off the back of the boat. Flush both screens. Then, run water in both directions through the system to flush and back-flush it, and let it thoroughly drain.
· While it's important to look over your props before launching and again after you re-trailer, now is the perfect time to pull the props and check for fishing line and weeds caught on the shaft under the prop, which can cut seals and lead to leaks.
· If the prop is dinged, have it repaired or buy a new one. You want that prop to be perfectly balanced. A dinged-up prop means your motor won't run true, and excessive vibration from such a prop can blow your motor.
· Lead acid batteries require a constant state of charge. Routinely check the battery's fluid levels, adding distilled water only. Keep them at full charge, even throughout the winter, when the boat isn't in use.
· Make sure the drain plug is removed for the winter so the below-deck area of your boat can breathe. Even though you may have run your bilge pump in the boat's hold, a little water is always left behind. Without the drain plug removed, there is no way the remaining water can vent, especially with the engine compartment closed and the boat cover keeping the moisture from evaporating. You can find corrosion on motor parts and even on metal such as gauges and other electrical equipment if the area isn't adequately ventilated. Even if your boat is indoors when it's not in use, there is still natural humidity in the air. Humidity is moisture.
· If you don't take out your batteries, make sure the connections stay tight. Tighten the nuts on the terminals. Spray the connections with WD-40 to prevent corrosion. The same applies for your trolling motor plug. They tend, over a season of use, to accumulate a gooey build-up in the connection. Spray both ends of the trolling motor plug with WD-40.
Current fishing
Offshore salmon: Everybody is chomping at the bit to get out, private boaters and big party boats. Mother Nature just isn't cooperating. Rough seas have kept everybody but the foolhardy in ports. Hang in there. With upcoming forecasts, it appears the seas might be more amenable by this weekend.
Bay Area: Those who drag the big nets are out searching for anchovy. If they find some good schools, live bait soon will be available at the receivers in Berkeley and party boats that go for halibut and stripers will gear up. Early indications in the bay point to a dynamite season. All they need is good live bait.
Collins Lake: This fairly small lake a few miles behind Marysville is extremely popular this time of year. Collins is full and spilling, as are many lakes, and water clarity leaves much to be desired. Weekly trout plants will continue until late May. Shore dunking has been good mainly with full stringers. The lower end of the lake – the dam and open camp – is always a good area to set up your chair at water's edge. Trollers aren't necessarily limiting, but a flasher in front of a threaded night crawler has been working with an occasional trout hitting seven pounds.
Lake Oroville: The lake is at 80 percent of capacity. A lot of water is coming "down the hill" so there's considerable debris. If you boat, go slow and keep your eyes peeled. With the warming weather, bass are turning on to a good bite and the spotted bass are already on the spawning beds. There's a good population of coho salmon, and the bite has been good in the Middle Fork. Get your rig down 20 feet and you'll score.
Folsom Lake: With creeks, streams and rivers rising rapidly with early snowmelt, lakes are rising, too, including Folsom. Bass are following the ever-changing shallows for food and warmer water for making their nests. You can find a bite in shallow and deeper water off rocky points.
Sierra lakes: Lakes such as Boca are ice-free. While boating may not be an option yet, shore dunkers are doing well at both ends – the inlet at the upper end and the dam area at the lower end. Soak a crawler, eggs or Power Bait. A lake such as Caples still has three feet of ice so ice fishing is going strong. The spring bite is really turning on at Lake Almanor for trollers. The east shore region is always a good bet right now. Stay in the top 20 feet. Haul a crawler behind a dodger or small Rapala. Stumpy Meadows is popular this time of year, but it's going to take warm weather. The lake still is snowed in. That means Hell Hole Reservoir and French Meadows Reservoir are unreachable, too.

The Arab world into the unknown/
Our friends Peter Harling and Sarah Birke contributed the following piece, a reflection on the state of the Arab world after a confounding 2013 that saw, for many, the dissipation of the enthusiasm of 2011. Harling is Senior MENA advisor at the International Crisis Group; Birke is a Middle East Correspondent for The Economist.
Two and a half years ago, Arab countries were abuzz with interesting conversations. Rich and poor, old and young, villager and urbanite, Islamist and secular all had their own take on the bewildering turmoil of the uprisings they were caught up in. They tended to be aware of the risks, hopeful that change was both inevitable and ultimately beneficial, and proud that the region could awaken and, after centuries of foreign interference, set its own agenda. Opinions were also invariably sophisticated, with people speaking profoundly about societies they thought they knew and had started to reassess.
This was a refreshing change from the pre-2011 tune of impotence. The region at that point, as its inhabitants saw it, was hostage to ossified regimes, intractable conflicts, worn-out narratives, and crumbling economies – not to mention Western hypocrisy, and schizophrenia, about urging client regimes to reform. Sterile agitation on the regional or international front, notably around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, distracted from thorough stagnation in domestic politics. Commentary was a cyclical run through the latest episode of violence, round of sanctions, realignment of alliances, or half-hearted diplomatic ventures. Uninspiring solutions to lingering problems left citizens reluctant to choose, among players in this game, the lesser of evils. Standing up to the US (like firebrand Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad) or surviving an Israeli assault (as Hezbollah did in 2006 and Hamas in 2009) could certainly make you popular beyond your traditional base, but not for long.
Less than three years after popular protests streaked across the Arab world, conversations appear to have come full circle. Optimism that societies in the region could no longer be ignored and would bring about change has reverted to doom and gloom. Outside observers have jumped from one label to the next: Arab spring to Islamist autumn to reactionary winter. All-too often, local residents view protests as a conspiracy, a naïve illusion or an ill-fated hope at best. Many see a stark choice between a failing old order and hegemonic Islamist rule—or war, as in Syria. Opinions are generally crude, aggressively intolerant and more rigid than ever. Interlocutors sport surprisingly definite conclusions about their home-region, no matter how fluid and contradictory the current trends actually are.Read More

|菊之丞 Kikunojō
|Naruto Episode #187
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Kikujō (菊丞, Kikujō) was a skilled ninja from the Land of Vegetables.
He grew up and trained alongside his friend, Yurinojō who shared a friendly rivalry with him. When still kids, he and Yurinojō developed a huge crush on Tsunade and fought for her affection (at least according to Tsunade). Since a young age, Kikujō showed tremendous talent for ninja arts and earned great fame throughout the Land of Vegetables. He was later chosen as a personal guard to the daimyō.
He was a fair-skinned man, with dark hair and dark eyes
Since a young age, Kikujō was regarded as a genius ninja in his country. His skill was presumably high as he was selected to be a personal guard to the daimyō. With his skill he could constantly keep his opponents off guard though a variety of attack patterns. As he was seen using a sword he was also profficient in Kenjutsu, being able to clash evenly with a Jonin-level shinobi.
As a genius, Kikujo quickly gained mastery of his clan's secret flower-oriented techniques.
For example, he can cause flowers around a opponent to ignite in flames or have them explode like explosive tags. Also, he can cause flowers to float and harden into shuriken or have them surround the opponent for a genjutsu that darkens the area.
Part I
Land of Vegetables Arc
Years later when the infamous Criminal Brothers attacked the Land of Vegetables, the daimyō sent Kikujō and Yurinojō to protect his own daughter, Haruna. Fearing that their combined skills would not be enough, Kikujō hired Konoha for assistance. Unfortunately due to little money, they could only be offered assistance at a C-rank level mission under the guise of escorting merchants. To further this deceptions, Kikujō, Haruna, and Yurinojō disguised themselves as merchants as well. When it soon became clear that the Criminal Brothers saw through their deceptions, Kikujō went off to face them head-on.
Kikujō then found himself in a flower field against the youngest of the Criminal Brothers, Ruiga. Kikujō initially had the upperhand and for a while seemed the inevitable winner with his clan's secret techniques. Unfortunately, Ruiga then unveiled his own secret technique and killed him. In the end, Kikujō was given a proper burial and Haruna apologised for not appreciating his selfless service.

October 2006
By Lawrence P. Farrell Jr.
The Air Force recently flew a B-52 bomber powered by an alternative fuel derived from natural gas.
This development highlights in many ways the challenges and achievements of the Air Force science and technology community. At a time when our military services are transforming into high-tech forces, scientists and engineers working at Air Force laboratories not only are pursuing the next big breakthroughs in technology, but they also are improving existing weapons — even old ones such as the B-52 — to make them more relevant to the current battlefield.
As I have noted in the past two editions of "President's Perspective," the role of science and technology as key elements of national security cannot be overemphasized. In the August issue, I highlighted the importance of healthy funding for defense-wide science and technology, especially for basic research. Last month, I focused on the work of the Office of Naval Research.
In the Air Force, the bulk of these efforts occur within the Air Force Research Laboratory, which is headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, with laboratory sites located strategically around the United States.
The lab, with a $1.5 billion annual budget and a workforce of 9,500, oversees programs in a wide range of technical specialties — air vehicles, directed energy, human effectiveness, information, materials and manufacturing, munitions, propulsion, sensors and space vehicles.
AFRL's role in the alternative fuel project for the B-52 has put the lab in the spotlight, given the growing national attention to the problem of rising fuel costs and dependence on foreign oil.
In a test flight last month, the B-52 flew with two of its eight jet engines using a specially blended fuel made of conventional petroleum — based on JP-8 and a Fischer-Tropsch jet fuel produced from natural gas.
Another example of a research effort increasingly becoming more relevant to the fight against irregular enemies is the directed energy program.
A laser device developed by AFRL scientists at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., will be the first man-portable, non-lethal deterrent weapon intended to protect troops and control hostile crowds. The weapon employs a two-wavelength laser system. The laser light temporarily impairs aggressors by illuminating or "dazzling" individuals, removing their ability to see the laser source.
The lab's success stories are too numerous to recap in this column, but allow me to draw attention to a few:
• Wounded airmen and soldiers being airlifted from Iraq needed an effective pain control system during transport. AFRL scientists came up with a patient-controlled analgesia infusion pump that can be used to request and safely self-administer pain medication.
• Under a Small Business Innovation Research contract, AFRL and Concurrent Technologies Corporation identified an alternative process for removing plated nickel coatings from aircraft landing gear. This reduces labor costs by at least 30 percent and helps prevent worker exposure to the stripping bath.
• AFRL is making significant contributions to bioengineering through the investigation of a new class of polymer, or "biopolymer" that is based on DNA and derived from bio-waste materials. Electro-optic and electronic devices fabricated from the new biopolymer demonstrate enhanced performance compared to state-of-the-art devices made with current, organic-based materials. This new class of polymer has the potential to compete with — or even replace — many fossil-fuel-based plastics for applications ranging from eyeglasses and food containers to higher-technology applications such as light-emitting diodes and transistors.
• Researchers recently completed a successful flight test of an automated aerial refueling system, known as inner-loop control laws. In a future test, a flight control computer will use precision Global Positioning System, inertial navigation systems, and tanker-datalink signals as sensor inputs to the control laws. A Learjet will fly next to a KC-135 tanker, matching the tanker's movements. Automated aerial refueling technologies will benefit unmanned air vehicles by extending their range and allowing their deployment with manned fighters.
• AFRL engineers executed wind tunnel tests of the V-22 Osprey — a 6 percent-scale model — to improve their understanding of the vehicle's flight characteristics. Their intent was to examine the V-22's flight dynamics at extreme attitudes and determine its flight limitations. The collected data will aid in generating a simulation designed to help pilots better understand the V-22's stability and control. This will allow them to achieve maximum aircraft performance without compromising safety.
These success stories, once again, reinforce the notion that the research work that is taking place in the nation's laboratories is vital to our military. Many of the technologies developed at AFRL also have civilian applications in areas such as commercial aviation, space exploration and biological sciences. Other Air Force-directed basic science breakthroughs have made major contributions to everyday applications, such as the atomic clock and the global positioning system.
It is important to remember that these investments, although they might not generate immediate payoffs, will yield enormous dividends over time, and must be nurtured accordingly. The U.S. lead in defense technology depends greatly on our military research establishment. Check out other "success stories" at the Air Force Research Lab Web site.

Who Is the Best Celebrity Babysitter?
November 28, 2012
Three celebrities who have zero experience with children babysit five loud, opinionated and out-of-control kids, ages 6 to 12, in a quest to be named the "Best Celebrity Babysitter." First, Patti Stanger of Millionaire Matchmaker takes the children to a bakery and quickly realizes that young kids and sugar don't mix. Don't miss the moment that drives Patti over the edge! Then, house flipper and designer Jeff Lewis of Flipping Out brings the children to a 150,000 square-foot furniture store — and loses one of them! And, Kalon McMahon made single moms across the world mad when he referred to Emily Maynard's daughter as "baggage" on The Bachelorette. Attempting to redeem himself, Kalon takes the kids to an indoor trampoline park. After spending the day with children, will it change his mind about them? Who will the kids pick to win the competition?
More than 16 million kids in the United States are at risk for hunger each day. Fortunately, you can help. Visit Feeding America to find your local food bank. And, help Dr. Phil raise enough money for 10 million meals. Donate today!
Meet the BabysittersReality TV stars, Patti Stanger, Jeff Lewis and Kalon McMahon don't have any children of their own and admit that they haven't spent much time with one child, let alone five. They embark on a challenge: babysit the same five kids — whom they've never met — without any help, and see who is named the best babysitter.
Patti and Jeff say they're considering adopting. "I'm adopted, and I've been thinking about adoption; I've been investigating it lately," Patti says. "So, this is a great thing for me to do." She says she has three nephews, but her sister doesn't let her babysit them.
Jeff says he's always planned on adopting two to three children. "I may change my mind after [babysitting five kids]," he jests.
Dr. Phil teases Kalon about his "baggage" comment and asks how it resonates with him today. Kalon responds, "Unfortunately, I think it's something that's going to haunt me for a while, but to be honest, I love other people's kids." He says once the babysitting competition is complete, the world will know how good he is with children.
Meet the ChildrenMichaela, 10, says when she grows up, she wants to be a movie star. "I don't need a babysitter, because I know how to take care of myself," she boasts.
Daniel, 11, admits that he often gets into trouble but says he's really a genius. "Babysitters are challenged by me because I know how to keep them on their toes," he says. Daniel says he has attention deficit disorder, or ADD, and needs a babysitter who knows how to handle children like him.
"I may be 6, but my giggles say I'm 7," Beatrice says. "Babysitters love me because I'm cute."
Alex, 12, says he loves sports and is fun to be around. "Babysitters love having me around because they can put me in charge," he says.
"I am a sassy 8-year-old, and no one can mess with me," Rose says. "I'm just a smart as any babysitter, and I tell them that too."
Jeff takes the children to a furniture store to help shop for clients, and he brings along his housekeeper, Zoila, who has three kids of her own. Is he cheating?
See what happens when Jeff loses one of the children inside the 150,000-square-foot furniture store!
Kalon says he last babysat children about 12 years ago. Are his skills a little rusty? See what happens when he takes the kids to an indoor trampoline park. Plus, Kalon receives a surprise proposal!
Kalon agrees, saying, "That's a bit of an unfair advantage."
"Well, I think it's balanced out now, considering that I'm the only one who took them to work," Jeff responds. "I'm the only one who followed the assignment."
Dr. Phil points out one thing that both Patti and Jeff did wrong: they bribed the children with money. "You don't bribe kids. It doesn't work," he tells them.
Kalon says the hardest part about babysitting the children was his lack of control over them. "You've got to give up all control. You're kind of along for the ride, and you've got to let them believe they're in charge" he says.
Rose's mom weighs in on the competition. And, whom does the audience — and the babysitters themselves — favor to win?

Defensive end Devante Covington knew more about the Vol coaching staff than he did the Vols before Saturday's visit to Knoxville. Covington actually has relationships with two assistants from their previous coaching stops.

On Day Stock Market Sets New Record, Conservative Group Floats Impeaching Obama For Wrecking The Stock Market
By Scott Keyes on May 7, 2013 at 4:30 pm
Today, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 15,056, an all-time record. For one conservative group, this can only mean one thing: its time to impeach President Obama.That was the message Capitol Hill Daily, a conservative publication based out of Baltimore, sent to Citizen Uniteds listserv today. They accused President Obama of wreck[ing] the stock market and asked readers to take a poll about whether he should be impeached as a result.
From the email:
Dear Concerned Reader,See a screenshot below:
Fearing the very worst, the nations super-rich are unloading their stocks at an alarming rate.
Even more troubling, the wealthiest 1% of Americans, who typically know the most, are the ones most anxious to sell.
You see, Obama just allowed 13 new tax increases to further slow the economy, wreck the stock market and make it even harder on the 12 million Americans already looking for work.
The bigger question is this
Is Obamas Latest Tax Screw Up Grounds For Impeachment?
When Obama took office on January 20, 2009, the Dow Jones was at 7,949. Over the last 4 years, it has gone up approximately 90 percent before reaching a new high today.
Its important to remember that the health of the stock market is very different from the health of the overall economy. Middle class wages are stagnating and millions are still unemployed or underemployed.
But when a conservative organization claims ignores reality in such a blatant way, one cant help but quote former Rep. Barney Frank: On what planet do you spend most of your time?

Mikey Martin: Salinas TT and ST
NEWS May 12, 2011
Photo by Dave Hoenig
Hey everyone, this is my race report for round 4 and 5 of the AMA Pro Motorcycle-Superstore.com Pro Singles championship. This double-header race was in Salinas, California. It was a TT and a Short Track.
Round #4 TT
I was happy to be back in California and I was also happy to have a TT track, because that's my favorite discipline in racing. In the first practice the dirt was really deep and it was a weird TT to me, it was harder then a usual TT. I felt good and qualified third in the first free practice. I switched bikes to see which bike I liked better and went out for the next practice. It was the first qualifying practice. I felt a lot better on the stock bike than our high horsepower bike. I qualified sixth and knew I was faster on the stock bike, so I took the risk of racing it knowing that this was a horsepower track.
After qualifying, there was a long intermission so I walked the track to see where I could make up time. I went back to our pit and made some adjustments to the bike. I felt really good but something wasn't right so I thought about switching back to my horsepower bike, and I did before the heat.
We went up to the line, we took off and I was in about fifth and there was very little passing because the track got really slick the tires were just spinning. I tried pushing as hard as I could but I just was not moving forward, I ended up fifth. Which meant a second row start in the main. I knew I made a mistake by riding my fast bike, so I switched again before the main. I was ready for the second row start, but I knew what I needed to do.
We walked the bikes up to the line and got ready, the light went green, I got a great start and was in about fifth in turn one, then there was a huge crash, so they restarted the race. We got ready and took off again, I was in about third in the right-hander, another crash and there was another restart. The next start wasn't as good, I was in about seventh and the track was getting so bad and getting so hard to ride, I passed two more riders and ended up sitting in fifth for the rest of the race, I was happy for another top five. My teammate Mike LaBelle took a hard fall and I want to wish him a speedy recovery and hope he is back on the track soon.
Round #5 short track
The next day was a short track. I knew I could go fast on a short track. I was riding the stock bike as I did yesterday on the TT. We had to be at the track really early. Before we knew it, we had to go out for the first round of free practice. I felt really good, I liked the track a lot, it was shaped weird, and in first practice I qualified third.
Back in the pits we made some adjustments to the bike and cut the tire to hook up more. The next practice was qualifying. I rode hard and I felt really fast, but the track was changing a lot and getting slick but I knew what I needed to do to hook up. I ended up qualifying fifth. That put me on the front row, third over from pole.
In the heat race I got a great start, I was in third and was working on passing the guys in front but it was just really hard to pass because it was getting slick.
I thought I found a fast line for the main so I was going to try it since it was too late to make any moves on the top two riders. I ended up third but that meant front row.
I changed my suspension a little to run the high line. There was an intermission and the last chance qualifier race. I thought I knew what I needed to do to make podium.
The horn went off and we walked up to the line. I picked all the way on the top so I could ride my line. We got ready, the light went green, and I came off the line in about seventh. I was getting roosted so bad and it seemed like I couldn't make any passes, then about half way through the race I moved up higher and I started passing riders on the outside. About the last five laps my line was so fast I was catching the leaders. I made two more passes on the outside. I got third, I made the podium after being in seventh place most of the whole race, I was very happy it was my first podium of the season.
See you in Springfield, IL, for rounds 6 and 7 May 28-29 for a TT and Mile!

GREENVILLE, N.C. - The men's basketball game between East Carolina and NC State on Dec. 21 at the PNC Arena in Raleigh will be televised on one of the Atlantic Coast Conference's regional cable networks, according to an announcement from the ACC Thursday. The game will tip-off at 12 p.m.
It'll be the 21st all-time meeting between the two instate rivals with NC State winning all 18 games previously played in the capital city. East Carolina recorded its lone victory over NC State in 2008, posting a 75-69 win during the Wolfpack's only trip to Greenville.
This will be the first regular season meeting between the Pirates and Wolfpack on the hardwood since 2010 when the two met in the opening round of the Charleston Classic.
The two teams played 12 times from 1972-82 before a 20-year hiatus between games. ECU and NC State renewed the series in 2002 squaring off in the championship game of the BCA Invitational at the RBC Center and then repeated the performance two years later.
The 2013 matchup will mark the fifth game in the series since 2006.

A local teen is lucky to be alive after a battle
with flesh-eating bacteria, and now a special
bracelet has been designed in her name.
Michelle Basch, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – A local teen is lucky to be alive after a battle with flesh- eating bacteria, and now a special bracelet has been designed in her name.
Sixteen-year-old Alexis Hanford of Bethesda's fight started when she cut her left leg while swimming in a freshwater lake in July.
"I was on a family vacation in California, and I went off of a rope swing and hit my leg on a tree log that was barely under the water. So when I let go of the rope swing it tore part of my tissue," she says.
Doctors think the bacteria was in the water and made its way into her body through the cut. What followed was a fight for her life and then a battle to save her leg from amputation.
Hanford has had 18 surgeries so far, and early on she says surgeries came every other day.
Today the Walt Whitman High School junior is wheelchair-bound and can only get around on crutches if she doesn't put any weight on her left leg.
"It's an extremely long road to recovery and I'm not sure that I'm going to fully recover. I'm not sure what muscle I still have left. They cut out the top muscle on my leg, and that's what flexes your foot. Right now I can't move my foot, because of nerve damage. But I also am not sure how much I'm going to be able to move it once the nerves come back," Hanford says.
Despite all of this, Hanford is grateful for the treatment she got at Children's National Medical Center in D.C.
Several of Hanford's friends, including Lily Blum, helped design a bracelet you can buy to raise money for Children's.
"The little stone in the center is like the healing – represents Alexis and her healing. And then all the wooden beads around it represent the community and all of her friends who are supporting her," says Blum.
The stones in the unisex stretch bracelet are available in several different colors.
"They're $30, and those proceeds go directly toward Children's Medical Center," says Jaclyn Mason, owner of Charm Georgetown.
The shop on M Street brought the bracelet from concept to reality with the help of a designer in Los Angeles.
The bracelets can be bought at Charm Georgetown or purchased online through The Alexis Healing Project website.
"The fact that they came up with this for me to really give back to the hospital makes me feel amazing, and I just hope that everybody buys a bracelet and that we can make this a huge fundraiser," Hanford says.
Just recently, Hanford was able to return to school and attend her homecoming dance.
She was named homecoming princess after her friends nominated her.
"It was my first normal day, and it was so nice to finally be back in kind of a social situation."

Same problem over at DundJinnin Forums, Summer slow down. Personally, nothing special, mostly some long weekends in Maine, Massachusetts & New Hampshire.
Thought I'd post about summertime .... usually I get kinda bummed when a lot of people disappear over the summer due to family vacations and summer activities and things because I'm still right here. But this summer has hit with a vengeance! We got a family cabin-by-the-lake, and my hubby and I bought a fishing boat, and now summer stuff is really taking away from my valuable mapping time!
What's everyone else doing this summer?

My Battlemaps Gallery http://www.cartographersguild.com/al...p?albumid=3407
headed to myrtle beach (USA), kenny powers style, next week! Then New Jersey after that for a wedding. It's been non stop action for me this summer.
Summer blows. My business is insane and it's hotter than a skillet out here in the desert. I have to wake up early just to try and beat the heat and even when I get home I'm just done in. I sit down for a few minutes to catch up on what's going on here and then I'm falling asleep as my body cools off. I take a 30 minute nap and feel much better but by then I'm so relaxed I don't always feel like doing anything else.
One fun thing about summer is asking kids when they start up school again and as soon as they say when I reply with how much I can't wait until whatever date they just told me. LOL, I get some great expressions back on that.
I like winter, winter is fantastic. Winter is great. My work insanity eases up so my days are like 3 hours long at the most. I don't have to get up early and I can stay up all night drawing and mapping. Yeah...I love winter.

It's summer again? It's hard to tell down here in the bowels of the earth. I thought the air handler sounded a little different, though. Maybe it's time to head over to the big blue room for a little bit.
"the other day i saw a rattler crawl into the campfire to get in the shade of the skillet"
and the oh so colourful
"hotter than two rats f(ornicat)ing in a wool sock"
For me summertime means I actually have time to devote to creative endeavors... For the rest of the year uni keeps me much too busy. On the other hand, I don't handle hot temperatures very well.
Definitely doing a lot of not-mapping . But instead of bemoaning the lack of carto opportunity, figure your're storing up experiences, images, views, ideas. Gidde, we picked up a cheap canoe, so some weekends are going to be paddling down some lazy excuse for a river hereabouts. But one thing that does is make me aware of the convoluted path rivers can take, and just what are realistic sandbars and islands and suchlike. Makes me think about how modern maps can easily harbor fossils of old roads... there's some bridge piers nearby that you can't even see where a road or railroad once was. Over at the lake we paddled around on a week ago, I recall the way TVA drowned whole communities, in order to protect others ;-)... and now the lake weeds are so thick in places it's like gliding over an underwater forest ... gotta be some way to portray that.
Not to mention which even when you have activities that take up a lot of time, taking a plain ol' notebook or sketchbook everywhere will let you capture the fleeting ideas that you do come up with. And while lazing in a hammock in the shade (more paddlers in my family than berths in the canoe, hence shoreside hanging-around time available) is not active mapping time, it CAN be opportunity for creative musing. Or heck, for reading a good book (or trashy one :-) ) or zoning out with tunes or silence in the ears. Point is - that kind of downtime is essential for creativity.
Hmmmm... seen waterproof books... wonder where I can get a waterproof notebook... ?
Good points, jbgibson! Actually I had indeed planned to take my sketchbook with me next time on the boat It's not waterproof, but I'm taking my cheapest one so I won't cry if it gets wet lol.
Heading up to said cabin with the boat for this week, so I'm going to disappear for a few days (no net access there). Have a great 4th everyone!
Well, I live just outside San Francisco and so July means...I'm freezing. Well, not all of the Bay Area. The eastern part gets hot but that means the air there rises and pulls all the wind and fog over us wretched souls who live near the ocean. At this time of year we bemoan the fact that we're wearing sweaters while the rest of the continent is wearing shorts and tanktops and having barbecues. But this year I get a reprieve. A relative is getting married in Hawaii so in a few weeks I'm off to Maui for a week. The past few weeks have been spent studying maps of the islands and continuing to work on my own.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It's not a doctor's visit any child likes.
Getting shot with vaccines that help protect against deadly diseases requires a stockpile of cute stickers, colorful Band-Aids and a full staff of nurses to ease the pain.
"We will start back-to-school immunizations walk-in clinic for Columbia County. We expect it to get extremely busy," said Linda Graves, the Columbia County manager.
Packed with parents like Hillary Barstow, a mother of three young girls entering school soon.
"I have to work and everything. I have to get it done early," Barstow said.
She's beating the back-to-school rush, but her oldest daughter Gabriella would rather delay.
"I don't like it," she said.
If you just moved to the area or have a young child entering school for the first time, they will need the following shots:
"We need those previous immunization records. We ask that if they are new, that they bring those records in prior to coming for a visit," Graves said.
If they miss any shots, they can't go to school.
"Then the school will not accept them, therefore parents have to take time off from work then maybe a waiting period, so that is more time out of school," Graves explained.
That's why nurses strongly urge parents to take advantage of the walk-in clinic hours starting July 30 and then continuing Aug. 1 through the 7th.
Graves said they expect 200 to 300 visitors to the health department per day.
Barstow is glad she came in early.
"It is aggravating, but I did it today, so she's good," Barstow said.
Come Aug. 7, it'll be painless to send her daughter to school.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) -- As you've driven around Fort Wayne, you've probably seen that gas prices have jumped about 35 cents!
But it's not for the reasons you might think.
This has nothing to do with the government shutdown or the stock market.
We talked with an expert at gasbuddy.com who says portions of the Great Lakes region don't follow national trends in gas pricing.
While gas stations in most of the country tend to keep a steady profit on petroleum, he says some chains in our area feel the intense amount of competition to keep prices so low, the stations actually lose money on gas.
Then, he says, when that cuts too deep, one gas station chain will jump its prices to make a profit, and other chains do the same thing.
The national average for gas is 3-38, down three cents in the last week, so fort wayne is now above the national average.
"Bad news for the economy is good news at the pump. That's only because when the economy, or if there are concerns of a slowdown, or if we do hit the debt ceiling, it could have a negative impact on the economy. And that could slow the economy down enough. When that happens, gasoline demand goes down and thus prices drop," says Patrick DeHaan from gasbuddy.com.
When fewer people are driving to work, demand for gas goes down, so prices go down.
By the way, Honolulu has the highest gas prices in the country, at $4.10 a gallon.
