Apartment living has its drawbacks. Often, you can't have pets, and even more exasperating to some, you cannot install your own rooftop satellite dish! San Diego based X-Digital Systems is about to change that with its new MSL384 Integrated Satellite Receiver with FM modulator, an audio broadcast media receiver/decoder product designed for deployment in multi-dwelling units (MDUs), a.k.a. apartment/condo complexes. With this product, operators can sign up subscribers living in MDUs without having to somehow install satellite dishes in each and every apartment/condo. Subscribers can then enjoy music and information broadcasts.
For its new product, X-Digital needed a low-cost, low-power signal processor that could decode high-density MPEG streams. The company chose Blackfin® ADSP-BF531 processors from Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) due to the processors' superb price/performance and exceptional power saving features, which were especially important as 48 processors are housed in each unit. |
Satellite Broadcasts
X-Digital designs, manufactures, and sells satellite and terrestrial multimedia communications systems. The company specializes in advanced communications systems for both wireless and wired applications that are designed for reliability, flexibility, and quality. X-Digital provides media distribution to end users using both Ethernet and Coaxial cable as physical mediums for its MDU customers.
X-Digital whose market at this point is solely in Japan (later the company plans to sell its products in the U.S.), was selling a digital satellite receiver that enabled operators to receive satellite signals at a central location for distribution to their own customers over terrestrial lines they did not own. New legislation, however, meant that the owners of the lines began to charge X-Digital's customers enormous sums for the use of the transmission lines. X-Digital's new MSL384 solves this problem, as the receiver can be installed directly into a MDU. While operators won't be able to completely eliminate all of the leasing costs, with X-Digital's new product, they will realize significant cost savings.
With the new product, operators can receive the digital audio programming from the satellite at individual MDUs and distribute it to the apartments/condos through the existing Coaxial cable infrastructure. The MSL384 receiver converts the digital audio satellite signals to FM analog signals. Essentially, the MSL384 receiver provides live decoding of satellite-based digital audio broadcast media.
Arrow Electronics and ADI
Arrow Electronics is a major global provider of products, services, and solutions to industrial and commercial users of electronic components and computer products. Headquartered in Melville, New York, Arrow serves as a supply channel partner for nearly 600 suppliers and more than 130,000 original equipment manufacturers, contract manufacturers, and commercial customers.
Arrow FAE Dan Merino and Arrow Advanced Processor Specialist Doug Rooks were key members of the team, working closely with X-Digital to resolve technical issues, loaning the company evaluation tools, and arranging for ADI resources to assist when necessary. Their ongoing support was instrumental in making the project a success.
Blackfin Processor's Superb Price/Performance
X-Digital teamed with ADI for state-of-the-art ADSP-BF531 signal processors. ADI recommended Epigon, a long-time ADI third-party software provider based in Bangalore, which specializes in the development of codec solutions for the multimedia market. Epigon developed an MPEG2 (MPEG 1 layer 2) decoder for multiple channels to run on the Blackfin processors. X-Digital then licensed the MPEG2 code from Epigon.
The Blackfin ADSP-BF531 processors are used as high-density MPEG2 decoders. Each MSL384 device houses 3 printed circuit boards (PCBs), each with 16 Blackfin ADSP-BF531 processors for a total of 48 Blackfin processors per system. Each MSL384 receiver decodes 384 MPEG streams. X-Digital said that pure economics was the main driver in the selection of the Blackfin ADSP-BF531 processor, as the company's high-volume application required a very low cost per decoded stream. In addition, with its 400 MHz of performance and 52K bytes of on-chip memory, the Blackfin ADSP-BF531 processor provided the right amount of price/performance X-Digital needed for its application.
The Blackfin ADSP-BF531 processor is a member of the Blackfin family. Blackfin processors incorporate the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) and embody a new type of 16/32-bit embedded processor designed specifically to meet the computational demands and power constraints of today's embedded audio, video, and communications applications. The processors deliver breakthrough signal processing performance and power efficiency with a RISC programming model, presenting high performance, homogenous software targets, which allow flexible resource allocation between hard real-time DSP tasks and non real-time control tasks.
For X-Digital, the Blackfin processor's unique combination of processing attributes eliminated the need for separate digital signal and control processors, reducing bill of materials (BOM) costs. X-Digital said this was one of the reasons it was able to cost-effectively integrate the 48 Blackfin ADSP-BF531 processors per MSL384 unit. Using the Low Profile Quad Flat Package (LQFP) also helped X-Digital achieve greater board density in a cost-effective manner as the package does not require additional costly layers and allows for the inclusion of a memory chip directly behind the Blackfin ADSP-BF531 processor.
As time-to-market and cost-savings were both key to the success of the company's project, Blackfin excelled once again by offering industry-standard interfaces with a high performance signal-processing core. For system peripherals, the Blackfin ADSP-BF531 includes a UART port, an SPI port, two serial ports (SPORTs), four general-purpose timers (three with PWM capability), a real-time clock, a watchdog timer, and a parallel peripheral interface (PPI). In addition, the Blackfin ADSP-BF531 includes high-speed serial and parallel ports for interfacing to a variety of audio, video, and modem codec functions, and an interrupt controller for flexible management of interrupts from the on-chip peripherals or external sources. The Blackfin ADSP-BF531 processor also includes an on-chip voltage regulator in support of the processor's dynamic power management capability. The voltage regulator provides a range for the output (core voltage) of 0.85V to 1.2V. The voltage regulator can be bypassed at the user's discretion.
X-Digital leveraged the Blackfin processor's SPORTs and SPI ports. X-Digital used the SPORTs in Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) mode, configured for 16 bits per channel and a total of 16 channels. This allows one peripheral to send out 16 bits of digital audio — voice or music — via 16 channels in real time, without "pops" or "clicks."
All of the peripherals, except for the general-purpose I/O, real-time clock, and timers, are supported by a flexible DMA structure. There is also a separate memory DMA channel dedicated to data transfers between the processor's various memory spaces, including external SDRAM and asynchronous memory. X-Digital took advantage of both external and internal memory as a buffer and for code space.
Distributing many channels of audio over a cable requires the high speed and linearity provided by the AD9726, a 16-bit DAC, and the ADL5330, an RF variable gain amplifier. The ADT7476, a fan controller, and several temperature sensors using ADT75 provide other system support.
Thermal Dynamics
Power consumption was definitely a challenge with 48 signal processors on board each MSL384 device. Here's where Blackfin came to the rescue. Blackfin processors provide world-class power management and performance. Designed in a low power and low voltage design methodology, Blackfin processors provide the ability to vary both the voltage and frequency of operation to significantly lower overall power consumption. X-Digital said this feature is critical for managing the thermal limits of the MSL384 unit.
For tools, X-Digital used ADI's EZ-KIT Lite Evaluation System, which includes a board, cable, power supply, documentation and a license key. EZ-KIT Lite is a low-cost hardware platform that includes a Blackfin processor surrounded by several other devices such as audio codecs, video encoders, video decoders, flash, SDRAM, and more. Each EZ-KIT Lite board also includes and on-board JTAG emulator with a USB 1.1 connector and a standard 13-pin JTAG header for use with high-performance emulators available from ADI. Via the processor's JTAG port and the VisualDSP++ software, a project management environment, users can set breakpoints, single step through code, view memory, fill/dump memory, perform real-time data manipulation, profile execution and memory access, plot data and use standard I/O.
The beauty of the Blackfin processor's architecture is that it includes advanced memory management that supports both memory-protected and non memory-protected embedded operating systems, giving companies, such as X-Digital, a choice of operating systems. These could include uCLinux, or INTEGRITY, or velOSity from Green Hills Software, to name only a few. For this project, X-Digital used ADI's VDK, the preemptive multitasking VisualDSP++ Kernel that incorporates scheduling and resource allocation techniques tailored specifically for the memory and timing constraints of DSP programming. It offers tight integration VisualDSP++, no license fees, and a royalty free RTOS. X-Digital plans to use tools from Green Hills for future designs where a RTOS that includes more features than VDK offers is required.
Providing audio service to apartment and condo complexes via satellite is a fast-growing market, and until now, operators have been limited in their ability to offer it. Thanks to the Blackfin processor's convergent processing abilities — the ability to provide low cost yet high-performance signal and control processing in a single architecture — X-Digital is offering it's new MSL384 Integrated Satellite Receiver. Soon consumers residing in apartment/condo complexes in Japan and later in the U.S. will be enjoying the benefits of these satellite-based digital audio broadcasts.

Just two days after placing second at the state 2A cross country finals and leading her team to the state championship, Hotchkiss senior Natalie Anderson was one of two high school students in the state to win the Wendy's High School Heisman award.
Each year, Wendy's awards one male and one female senior from each of the 50 states with the Heisman.
Hotchkiss was eliminated from Class 1A football playoffs Saturday after a 27-7 first-round loss to Burlington. The Bulldogs suffered two misfortunes before the game — the first when starting quarterback Devan Rupe suffered a season-ending concussion two weeks before playoffs, and the second last week at practice when running back Alex Smith suffered a concussion.
Jennifer Celis and Natalie Anderson are going to be a tough act to follow.
While they may be most recognized for their athletic achievements, the two seniors are entrenched in Hotchkiss High School.

News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEJune 16, 2003
COLUMBUS, OH - White oak trees throughout a seven-county area of southern Ohio suffered moderate to severe leaf loss this spring thanks to the voracious appetite of several caterpillar species, according to foresters with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
Most of the damage occurred in Gallia, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton counties, said state forest biologist Dan Balser, with the ODNR Division of Forestry. Two of the hardest-impacted areas are near Portsmouth and between Waverly and Chillicothe.
Our staff reports, along with calls from landowners, indicate that most white oak trees in infested areas suffered from moderate to extensive leaf loss from these voracious caterpillars, said Balser. Fortunately, the worst of the defoliation appears to be over as many of the caterpillars have advanced in their life cycle.
A similar infestation is harming oaks in parts of West Virginia and Kentucky.
Several caterpillar species are responsible for the damage, including the common oak moth and caterpillars in the genus Phigalia. The high concentration of these native caterpillars was most likely triggered by last years drought, according to Balser, who added that the insects produce only one generation a year.
State foresters say if trees were healthy prior to the damage they will likely recover. However, trees previously stressed by weather conditions, insect or disease problems will have a harder time maintaining their health.
A critical factor impacting the oak trees ability to recovery is how quickly they can re-grow leaves, which help them store the necessary energy to survive the winter, said Balser. There really is little property managers can do other than closely monitor their trees.
If drought conditions or other stress factors further impact trees later this year, state foresters expect some tree mortality will result.
Phigalia caterpillars are highly variable in color and move with the typical tail-to-nose movement of an inchworm. In addition to oaks, they also feed on a variety of hardwood hosts such as maple, wild cherry, elm and hickory.
The common oak moth, Phoberia atomaris, is also a native insect. It is nearly an inch long when mature, hairless, and generally dark brown and black. They have two rows of small, black triangles that occur down the length of the back of the caterpillar. The common oak moth was numerous and caused extensive damage in Ross County last year. This pest prefers to feed on white oak. Natural predators and parasites typically control this caterpillar after a couple of years.

Federal regulators on Wednesday stopped the state from issuing a permit for a new A.T. Massey Coal Co. mountaintop removal strip mine.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cited a new state law that would allow the Massey mine to fill in streams with waste rock and dirt without compensating the state for the loss.
EPA officials also hinted they would block all similar permits unless the Underwood administration backs off its vigorous support of the new mine "mitigation" law.
"We will look at each permit on a case-by-case basis," said EPA Region III Administrator W. Michael McCabe. "We have to make sure no permit is issued that doesn't have adequate mitigation."
Environmental groups and some top officials within DEP warned Gov. Cecil Underwood that the mitigation bill would prompt EPA actions, as well as permit delays for coal companies.
Some in the coal industry, including Arch Coal Inc., opposed the bill as well. Underwood agreed with the West Virginia Coal Association and Massey lobbyist K.O. Damron and signed it into law.
In a Wednesday letter to Barbara Taylor, chief of the DEP Office of Water Resources, EPA objected to the state issuing a water pollution permit for Massey subsidiary Independence Coal Co.'s proposed Constitution Mine.
The mountaintop removal project would produce about 1.1 million tons of coal for more than 15 years, starting in January 1999, according to a permit application on file with the DEP Office of Mining and Reclamation.
Huge shovels and dozers would move nearly 300 million cubic yards of earth and rocks to reach valuable low-sulfur coal seams along Pond Fork near Uneeda in Boone County.
The company would put about two-thirds of that material back on mountaintops. The other 100 million would be dumped into seven valley fills, burying area streams.
The Constitution Mine is the first through the regulatory pipeline since the state approved its new mine mitigation bill earlier this year.
Investigators from the U.S. Office of Surface Mining are already looking into the project's mining permit. They question whether its proposed post-mining land use - fish and wildlife habitat and recreation lands - allows it to qualify for a special reclamation exemption under state and federal law.
EPA officials first questioned a water pollution permit for the mine and valley fills in April.
In the Wednesday letter to the state, EPA Region III water division Director Thomas Maslany outlined the federal agency's specific objections to the permit.

| Just coming back to the point someone raised about the difference between system restore and system image. The objective of system restore is to restore windows system files, the registry and programs. It restores everything inside the windows folder and a set of monitored extensions outside that. So it can (and likely will) mess with user created exes/batches/scripts, this is the source of complaints about system restore having deleted files. Reading the following will help: Protecting Files During System Restore Understanding how System Restore in Windows Vista treats executable files - The Storage Team at Microsoft - File Cabinet Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs Why Vista's System Restore is Dangerous and What to do About it | sepago System image OTOH restores EVERYTHING (of course excluding what it never backed up in the first place- hibernation file, pagefile and shadow copies). |
My System Specs |
06 Apr 2011 | #28 |
| It's partly for the reason above and the fact that system restore, for me at least, can produce bad results that I don't use it. I've relied on system images. I just keep them to a manageable size <60GB. |
My System Specs |
06 Apr 2011 | #29 |
| As I understand it, a system image includes also personal files like mp3s and images, and the volume shadow copy doesnt? If I go this way: Control panel -> system and security -> backup and restore, I can back up personal files like mp3s and images. I can plan f.ex to take backup once a week. What if the volume shadow copy is deactivated in "services", will backing up personal files still work? |
My System Specs |
06 Apr 2011 | #30 |
| I would simply not deactivate it. Quickly: There are 2 types of backup in "Windows Backup & Restore" and they are very different. (1) File/folder backup makes .zip files and backups up personal data - mp3s documents ..... (2) Images are a COMPLETE snapshot of your partition. Operating system, programs, data .....the lot. |

It's Eric Rieger's first time in a 3-way and boy does he have two hot studs to break him in. Trevor Hanson and David Grant really works Eric over, giving him the best they've got. The two handsome studs stuff his cock and his firm white ass with their huge pricks, but first they prime his hole for their big intruders by rimming his sweet pink hole with their probing tongues. After a wild fuckfest, the three studs are so hot that they've got to release the heavy loads churning in their groins. The heat is on as all three erupt geysers of cum and collapse in sweaty sex-spent satisfaction.

Chapman Pincher was born on March 29, 1914, to English parents living in India. He was raised and educated in England, and after brief careers in the military and education, he worked as a reporter for The Daily Express in London. Throughout the Cold War he was known as a journalist who was able to get exclusive "scoops" about British intelligence and espionage from confidential insider sources.
"Throughout time, there has been a general agreement that the foulest brand of treachery is the betrayal of a close, confiding and protective friend."
Early Life and Education
Henry Chapman Pincher was born in Ambala, India, on March 29, 1914. His parents, Helen (Foster) and Richard Chapman Pincher, had been brought to India by his father's military service. The family returned to England after World War I and settled in the town of Darlington, in the northeast of England. Pincher attended school in Darlington and then moved to London to study biology at King's College.
Early Career
After college, Pincher taught science at Liverpool Institute for several years and wrote articles for agricultural journals. When England entered World War II, he joined the Royal Armoured Corps in 1940, attended the Royal Military College of Science and served as a staff officer in the Ministry of Supply from 1943 to 1946. During his military career, he became interested in weaponry. In 1946, a friend who worked at the newspaper The Daily Express hired him to write about science and military defense.
Career in Journalism
Pincher worked as the defense, science and medical editor of The Daily Express from 1946 to 1973. His writing for the paper earned him the awards of Journalist of the Year in 1964 and Reporter of the Decade in 1966. From 1973 to 1979 he was an assistant editor at The Daily Express and a defense correspondent to other papers in the Beaverbrook Newspapers group. Pincher became known for the "scoops" that he obtained from confidential sources within the government and military; his exclusive information about cover-ups and crises within British intelligence gave the papers some of their biggest national news headlines during these years.
Other Publications
In addition to his newspaper reporting, Pincher published numerous works of nonfiction and fiction. His best-known books deal with issues of espionage and counterespionage. Their Trade Is Treachery, published in 1981, looks closely at the inner workings of the United Kingdom's MI5 (Security Service) and MI6 (Secret Intelligence Service) during the Cold War against the Soviet Union. He returned to this subject in Too Secret Too Long in 1984 and The Secret Offensive in 1986. In 2009's Treachery: Betrayals, Blunders, and Cover-ups: Six Decades of Espionage Against America and Great Britain he claimed that British counterintelligence had been corrupted from the inside, through the work of a "mole": Roger Hollis, MI5's own director from 1956 to 1965.
Pincher has also written historical novels, spy thrillers and several works of science fiction.
Personal Life
Pincher married Constance Sylvia Wolstenholme in 1965. He has two children, daughter Patricia and son Michael, from a previous marriage.

U.S. U-17 MNT Ready to Take on U.A.E. in Final Group Match of 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup
The U.S. U-17 Men's National Team has a chance to advance to the Round of 16 at the FIFA U-17 World Cup with a win against United Arab Emirates on Sunday, Nov. 1, at 4 p.m. local time (10 a.m. ET) in Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria

Oct. 31, 2009
CHANCE TO ADVANCE: The U.S. U-17 Men's National Team has a chance to advance to the Round of 16 at the FIFA U-17 World Cup with a win against United Arab Emirates on Sunday, Nov. 1, at 4 p.m. local time (10 a.m. ET) in Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria. With three points from their first two matches, the United States can assure advancement with a win, as six points would be enough for at least second place in Group E. The U.S. can also advance to the knockout round with a draw, as other results have rendered four points sufficient for progress to the next round. The U.S. and UAE will square off from Gateway International Stadium live on ESPNU, ESPN360.com and Galavision. Fans can also follow on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and at twitter.com/ussoccer.

Oct. 29 Malawi Sani Abacha Stadium; Kano, Nigeria 1-0 W Shinsky
Nov. 1 UAE Gateway International; Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria 4 p.m. (10 a.m.) ESPNU/Galavision
HOW WE CAN GET THERE: The U.S. can be certain to advance with a win against UAE, which would give them six points and either first or second place in the group. With a draw, the U.S. would stay in third place despite being tied with UAE on four points. UAE would have the advantage in the second tiebreaker, goals scored.

A LOOK AT THE 21: Cabrera's 21 player roster features players who represent 13 different states and 19 different clubs, including nine that are part of U.S. Soccer's Development Academy. Eight players have scored at least one goal for the U.S. over the course of 12 international games in 2009, and five – Luis Gil, Stefan Jerome, Perry Kitchen, Carlos Martinez and Jack McInerney – who have registered more than 25 international appearances at the U-17 level. The roster blends 17 players born in 1992 and four born in 1993
U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team Roster by Position
GOALKEEPERS (3): 21-Keith Cardona (NY Red Bulls Academy; Glen Rock, N.J.), 1-Earl Edwards (Nomads SC; San Diego, Calif.), 12-Spencer Richey (Crossfire Premier; Seattle, Wash.)
DEFENDERS (6): 6-Zachary Herold (West Pines United FC, Port St. Lucie, Fla.), 4-Perry Kitchen (Chicago Magic; Indianapolis, Ind.), 20-Boyd Okwuonu (Celtic Green; Edmond, Okla.), 3-Tyler Polak (CSA Legacy; Lincoln, Neb.), 2-Jared Watts (North Meck SC; Statesville, N.C.), 15-Eriq Zavaleta (FC Pride; Westfield, Ind.)
MIDFIELDERS (6): 5-Marlon Duran (Latino Americana; Ducanville, Texas), 10-Luis Gil (Pateadores; Garden Grove, Calif.), 14-Carlos Martinez (Wilmington Jr.; San Pedro, Calif), 17-William Packwood (Birmingham City, Concord, Mass.), 11-Nick Palodichuk (Washington Premier; Battleground, Wash.), 8-Alex Shinsky (Super Nova FC; York, Pa.)
FORWARDS (6): 16-Juan Agudelo (NY Red Bulls Academy; Barnegat, N.J.), 19-Victor Chavez (Real So Cal; Fontana, Calif), 18-Andrew Craven (First Coast Kickers; St. Simons Island, Ga.), 7-Stefan Jerome (West Pines United FC; Davie, Fla.), 9-Jack McInerney (Cobb SC; Alpharetta, Ga.), 13-Dominick Sarle (BW Gottschee; Huntington, N.Y.)
- All 21 U.S. players are eligible to take the field against Malawi on Thursday
- The USA and UAE have never faced each other at any level.
- Defenders Zachary Herold and Eriq Zavaleta, along with midfielder Marlon Duran, earned cautions against Spain in the team's opener and Jack McInerney saw yellow against Malawi. Another yellow would result in a one-match suspension.
- Though the Americans changed venues for their third match, Sunday's game at Gateway International Stadium will mark the third game the U.S. has played on artificial surface in the tourament.
- The 1-0 win against Malawi was the eighth shutout for the U.S. defense in 2009.
- It was also the first shutout in a men's youth World Cup since Josh Lambo was in the nets against Belgium at the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
- Forward Jack McInerney's fourth-minute goal against Spain was his team-high 10th of the year.
- 10 players on the U.S. roster have been in Residency since the Fall Semester of 2007: Craven, Duran, Edwards, Herold, Jerome, Kitchen, Martinez, McInterney, Polak and Watts.
- Only one player, midfielder William Packwood, is not based full time in U.S. Soccer's Residency Program in Bradenton, Fla. Packwood is based in England and plays in the Birmingham City academy.
ELSEWHERE IN NIGERIA: As of Tuesday, Argentina and Switzerland have both clinched berths to the Round of 16 with six points each in Groups A and B, respectively. Argentina will emerge from an extremely difficult Group A after one-goal wins against Honduras (1-0) and Germany (2-1). Group B is just as difficult, with Switzerland grabbing a perfect three wins and Mexico sewing up second spot on six points. That leaves Brazil on the outside looking in; their three points mean they will have to wait for other results to see if they progress to the next round. Iran earned passage to the second round of the U-17 World Cup for the first time, with the Young Etalons of Burking Faso and Kiwis of New Zealand joining teams in the knockout round.
Round of 16 Teams (as of Oct. 31)
Group A: Nigeria, Argentina, Germany
Group B: Switzerland, Mexico
Group C: Iran, Colombia
Group D: Turkey, Burkina Faso, New Zealand
UAE IN THE WAY: The United Arab Emirates stands in the way of the United States' progression to the next round, with the Asian side also on three points in Group E. UAE started off the tournament on the right foot, beating Malawi to open proceedings in Nigeria. After falling to Spain 3-1 in the last game, UAE needs to right the ship quickly to have any hope of seeing the knockout round.
GOAL NUMBER 1300: Mexico's Carlos Campos scored the 1300th goal in a FIFA U-17 World Cup during their group match against Japan, but a betting man would have put money on a U.S. player to tally the milestone. That's because in the past two tournaments a U.S. player hit a milestone goals in the U-17 World Cup, with Mykell Bates tallying the 1100th goal during the 2007 tournament and Ryan Soroka getting the memorable 1000th goal in Peru in 2005. A U.S. player also struck the 100th goal, with Ben Crawley hitting the mark against Ecuador in 1987.

Domotics or the art called House Automation is increasingly getting more and more popular, driven by energy efficiency, security and comfort needs. Most of these systems have their own set of remote controls, ranging from ugly plastic remotes to high cost programmable LCD screens.
We did set ourselves the goal of integrating our home automation with an iPhone to eliminate again another device at home. The project consists of three main building blocks.
Over the years the iPhone and its OS has evolved fast and stacked with new features. It isn't so easy anymore to know every little detail of your beloved gem.
Yesterday I was reading a new iPhone tip and that gave me the idea to create a little quiz, to test if you are a real iPhone 3G S Pro User or not.
It takes a few minutes to conduct the test. Afterwards you can see the right answers and maybe learn some things you didn't know yet. Have fun!
Test me dude!

New York, Tony Karakashian // Dec 1, 2009
In Part One of this series, I talked about how I wanted to replace the built in iPhone E-mail app. I settled in the end on simply using Safari and the Gmail web interface, but Safari has a few shortcomings of its own. The biggest, and most surprising, is that it's really not designed for the small screen of an iPhone. The address bar at the top and tab bar at the bottom take up a lot of screen real estate that would be better used to show me what I'm looking at.
It has no ability to set a homepage, although you can create a shortcut on your Springboard to the page you want, but that seems so kludgy. Bookmark management is horrendous, and I've recently learned that once you launch it, Safari continues to run in the background until you reboot your iPhone. If you find your iPhone is slow or crashy, and you left a number of tabs open in Safari when you last used it, go in and close them to see the difference. I still have a 3G, so I can't really afford something taking up my very limited memory.
Some of the coolest apps in Apple's (AAPL) iPhone App Store are widgets that let you use your iPhone or iPod touch as a remote control.
You can control dozens of gadgets, ranging from your DVR to your computer or high-end digital camera. The best news: Many remote control apps are free, and most are a few bucks or less.

So, one of the most common complaints about PCalc before 1.7 is that it took too long to launch – around four seconds on an iPhone 1st Generation.

Webkit is the display engine created by Apple to render pages in Safari on OS X and the iPhone. Like Firefox, it has a series of specific CSS properties you can use to design pages for Mac or iPhone. Unfortunately, though, there isn't much documentation on the web about Webkit. So, here's a list of six Webkit properties you can use for your next iPhone or Mac website. Remember, these don't work on any other browser, so I wouldn't recommend using them for a PC-oriented website without CSS hacks or IE fallbacks.

A West Sacramento police officer was arrested Monday on suspicion of sexual assault and kidnapping, offenses allegedly committed while on duty.
The arrest of 37-year-old Sergio Alvarez followed a five-month investigation that began Sept. 24, when a woman told another patrol officer that she had been sexually assaulted by a uniformed officer, Police Chief Dan Drummond said during a news conference.
He said Alvarez was immediately placed on administrative leave, and Sacramento Police Department detectives were asked to aid in the investigation.
Investigators subsequently identified five more victims, bringing the total to six. The Yolo County district attorney over the weekend convened a grand jury, which handed down an indictment.
Drummond said Alvarez was served with termination paperwork on Monday and booked into Yolo County jail. His bail is set at $26.3 million.
Alvarez, who is married and a father, grew up in West Sacramento and graduated from River City High School.
He joined the West Sacramento Police Department in 2007 and worked as a patrol officer. Drummond said it was Alvarez's first law enforcement job.
"I'm personally just appalled and sick that someone who was put in a position of trust would violate that trust in such a despicable an egregious manner," Drummond said.
The alleged assaults occurred late at night or early in the morning, when Alvarez was on patrol. They covered the period from October 2011 into September 2012.
Victims ranged from 20 to 47 years old. All frequented the West Capitol Avenue area. Assaults allegedly occurred inside and outside of Alvarez's patrol car.
In some cases, Drummond said, victims were taken to another location.
The chief said patrol officers typically work alone. He said the department is studying how procedures might be changed to ensure more accountability.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call West Sacramento police at (916) 617-4775.

The future of packaging automation
PA: But it seems as if it should be just as powerful to OEMs who need to debug, validate and maintain their control software.
Cord: Of course, you're right. Once a machine builder constructs a modular foundation, engineering time to develop and test a machine's control program can be reduced by 50% to as much as 80%. This has been documented by OEMs such as Douglas Machine and Hamba Filtec.
PA: And that would also reduce TCO for the end user.
Cord: Absolutely, and we hear a lot of users wanting to outsource maintenance to third party providers. This business model is only practical if the programs are modular and therefore make it easy to visualize, understand and diagnose the system.
PA: Does modularity also lend itself to recipe-based changeovers?
Cord: Yes, it's really essential. Fast pushbutton changeovers, tool-less, often with automated adjustments, are the future. We see secondary packaging machinery in the beverage market, for example, that must be equipped to handle 20 or more format changes routinely. And the expectation among the soft drink makers is for 30 second changeovers, not 3 hour changeovers.
To change formats, and to parameterize an existing recipe to a new format, you don't want to work in long ladder logic subroutines. It's too slow and prone to errors. You want a plant floor engineer or an operator to download the new recipe, or to modify a recipe by filling in the blanks, with prompts to avoid errors and with electronic verification of who changed what.
PA: As I understand, these are all developments on a five-year horizon, or 2011. What should we expect in the year ahead?
Cord: A healthy degree of software modularity is available here and now, and has been since the late 1990's. We've continuously expanded the functionality of our EPAS-4 modular programming template, now with Version 20. These include new software libraries with IEC 61131 compliant software objects that handle all the major functions of form/fill/seal, capping, labeling and various robot configurations. We have some 400 software objects available already, which means much less programming from scratch.
So, the foundation for modular, maintainable, simplified software structures already exist. We are also working on graphical programming systems, editors and simulation tools that will simplify development on our way forward.
PA: Two years ago, ELAU won a Control Engineering Editor's Choice Award for the PacDrive SCL integral servo motor/drive technology. What's new on the actuator side?
Cord: The SCL is a form factor purpose-built for liquid and specifically beverage packaging applications. The technology distributes motor drive componentry onto rotary carousels, making power, signal and network connections much simpler. It's really taken over the rotary filling, capping and labeling machinery markets.
What's new is the PacDrive Aseptic SCL, a stainless steel servo module for use in sterile environments to withstand caustic cleaning agents.
But the real story, the really big news, will be a new class of Intelligent Servo Module that will be revealed at PACK EXPO in October.
PA: Really, you're going to leave us hanging?
Cord: Please, watch this space, you'll see an announcement in the weeks leading up to the show.
For more information, visit www.elau.com or email [email protected].

Complaint dismissed against wright medical technology, inc.
October 5, 2012 |
Medical Device Company Successfully Completes Deferred Prosecution Agreement
NEWARK, N.J. – The United States has dismissed a Criminal Complaint filed in September 2010 against Wright Medical Technology Inc., a publicly-traded national manufacturer and distributor of orthopedic implant devices and supplies based in Arlington, Tenn., First Assistant U.S. Attorney J. Gilmore Childers announced today.
The Complaint was filed pursuant to the terms of a 12-month Deferred Prosecution Agreement that was executed in September 2010 and extended for another 12 months in September 2011. The extended DPA expired on Sept. 29, 2012.
The Criminal Complaint, which alleged that Wright used consulting agreements with orthopedic surgeons as an inducement to use its artificial hip and knee reconstruction products, was to be dismissed provided that Wright was in full compliance with all of its obligations. The dismissal was ordered yesterday afternoon by U.S. Magistrate Judge Madeline Cox-Arleo.
Wright had agreed to accept the appointment of a federal monitor to review its compliance with the terms of the DPA. Since September 2010, Wright has been monitored by James B. Tucker, former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi.
"During the past 24 months, Wright Medical has worked with James Tucker and his monitor team to instill and implement a compliant corporate culture," First Assistant U.S. Attorney Childers said. "We are pleased to announce that Wright Medical has fully complied with the terms of the DPA and we have accordingly moved today to dismiss the Criminal Complaint. We hope that the company continues its current trajectory and will serve as an industry leader in corporate compliance."
First Assistant U.S. Attorney Childers credited special agents of HHS-OIG, New York Regional Office, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Tom F. ODonnell; and inspectors of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, under the direction of Inspector in Charge Philip R. Bartlett, for their work in reaching the original agreement.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Mack of the U.S. Attorney's Office Health Care and Government Fraud Unit.
Defense counsel: Karen F. Green Esq., Boston, Mass.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the State of New Jersey.
FEMA is now accepting applications from residents and business owners who sustained losses in Atlantic County, Cape May County, Essex County, Hudson County, Middlesex County, Monmouth County, Ocean County and Union County.

We have written a brochure for BETT. Please can ANYONE on Edugeek look at it for me to say if it would potentially arrest the attention of a passing ICT HoD or primary ICT coordinator. Pleeeeaaase?
Hi, I think it would definately grab the attention of primary ICT Co- ordinators. Speaking for my schools ( i provide Tech support to 6 primary schools in the area) they would jump at the ability to learn how to use ICT in a more engaging way with the students and enhance the facilities available to both the students and the staff.. looks very good !!!
I would look at it and immediately think it is someone's private document or something, not a leaflet. Need to sort the formatting and graphics out as well as they play just as important role as the text.
Sorry should have said that was text only. I have a completed version now with pix etc, which you can see at http://www.globalgateway.org/bett .

Something Awesome Is Happening in Oregon
A few years back, a four-year-old Edgefield rye won gold at the annual American Distilling Institute (ADI) competition. According to the distiller who accepted the award, Booker Noe (Jim Beam's grandson, himself a legendary whiskey-maker) helped them with the recipe. It was superb. Asked if, when, and how it would be sold, they answered, "It won't be. We kind of drank it all."
Brothers Mike and Brian McMenamin started with a pub back in 1974. Today, McMenamins is a chain of resort hotels, restaurants, bars, music venues, golf courses, movie theaters, and probably a few other endeavors. They brew beer, distill spirits, and vint wine. They grow a lot of the food they serve in their restaurants and grow the grapes from which their wines are made. They're way into preventing waste and promoting energy savings and efficiency.
The distillery was established in 1998. It is part of Edgefield, a 100-year-old historic McMenamin's resort hotel, located about 20 miles outside of Portland.
Last month, at their annual St. Patrick's Day blowout, they released a whiskey called Devil's Bit, made from malted wheat and barley, and aged for twelve years. It is heart-breakingly good, clearly recognizable as malt whiskey, yet different from anything you've ever tasted before. The nose alone is a revelation. They could sell it by the sniff.
If you want to become a distiller, and make great whiskey, get thee to Troutdale, Oregon. If you just want to taste what the craft distillery movement can become, same advice.

These guys are so cool that their distilling is practically a hobby. You can only buy their distillates at the Edgefield distillery, or by the glass in their pubs and restaurants. The Devils' Bit is an annual St Patrick's release, and if I lived in Portland I'd be first in line to get one on that day - every year! They distill a few other things, including a cognac-like brandy. Their pear brandy, however, is absolutely stunning!

Sounds interesting. But not only is it a St. Patrick's Day release, apparently it is routinely sold out the same day. So it doesn't sound like a lot of people are going to get to try this one!

Totally agree. McMenamin's makes some great whiskey. Real care and intentionality goes into what they make. Still have three bottles of the 2012 Devil's bit, saved for a special occasion. Now only if their beer and wine was as good! Had a chance to see them producing their new make rum last time I was their - definitely excited for that in a few years.

Amazing work, looks like a very tattered and torn photo, great "worn out" effect. Great to see the old steam engine too. 5♥s
