Anniversary concerts are also planned for Los Angeles, Denver and Cleveland.
JDub Records, the innovative not-for-profit record and event production company responsible for launching Matisyahu and Mediterranean electro-dancehall collective Balkan Beat Box, will celebrate its five-year anniversary this July with a handful of special shows across the country, including Sunday, July 20 at the Celebrate Brooklyn Bandshell in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, and Sunday, July 27 at Grand Performances in Los Angeles. The Brooklyn concert, to be hosted by comedian Michael Showalter (Wet Hot American Summer, Stella, The State), will feature a collection of groundbreaking musicians from JDub's diverse roster such as Gypsy, folk-punk auteurs Golem - hailed by The New Yorker as a band with "a wild, edgy approach with a reverence for old-world tradition," Israeli hip-hop dancehall crew Soulico and 15th Century Ladino indie-rockers Deleon.

Special guests are also in the works, including Jon Langford of the Mekons and Hungry March Band, and others. "We've spent the last five years building JDub Records and striving to discover and represent the best possible Jewish-related artists for our audience," said Aaron Bisman, President of JDub Records. "We are so excited to put on a free show for New York to thank our fans and supporters for five great years and get ready for five more." For the Los Angeles concert, JDub will present Golem and Soulico, who at both events will be joined by MCs from Israel including Ethiopian MCs Axum and JDub's newest international signing, hip-hop MC Sagol 59.

text: I have one of these little NAA PUG .22 Magnum mini-revolvers and love it, and have a question. What do you guys and gals think of carrying a pair of these (5 shots each) for self defense purposes? I find myself throwing this little puppy in my pocket more and more and the P239 and even the LCP getting carried less and less. It's just so easy to carry, hides well and I feel much less conspicuous with it in my pocket than any of my other guns. You can even get the XS Big Dot night sights for it! (I have the regular Big Dot on mine)

Has anyone in Mi.had a sighting yet?--I see on the map they are here--This is really early!
I thought it was the amount of daylight that brought the hummers north not the temps!! |

The general movement north follows the sun increase, but the weather will always have an effect. This year's historic March heat wave appears to be greatly aiding the hummers' return. The northward sprint should take a break soon, though, as the weather pattern changes. |

Hi, Highland Township Here. No sightings, and I too watch the map, so I put out my "greeter" feeder for them. Usually I put them out 1st or 2nd week of April. This way they have something to sip on if they have to pack up and rush back down south ! |
We're on the lookout in Detroit, so far no sightings. DH & I were talking about when to put out a feeder last week. I may hang a 'greeter' (thx crazee) feeder this weekend just in case too. Can't wait for them! |
West Michigan here, no sighting for me yet but my feeders up! |
- Posted by salliestarr SW Virginia (My Page) on Tue, Apr 3, 12 at 11:33
My feeder has been up for two weeks....no sightings yet. However, a wren did take a drink one day. First time I saw a "big bird" use the feeder. It's one like Steve has from Lowe's so small openings. Hopeful for a sighting anyday. I miss them......... |

Unto their Majesties, Felix and Eva, King and Queen of Lochac, do Aeddan and eleanora send greetings.
We wish to apply for the position of Baron and Baroness of Stormhold.
We have each played SCA for many years (eleanora for 20, Aeddan about 17), met here and are raising our children in the ideals of chivalry, courtesy, honour and the dream.
While we do not have strong household ties (eleanora has been a member of Clan Claidh Morh and Yppotryll, Aeddan a member of Ypotryll), we have strong friendships in most local households, and a good idea of what is going on right across the Barony. While we live in the Canton of Cairn Fell, we travel to central Stormhold for almost all events and monthly bashes, and roughly every second Monday night Crafthall and fighter practice. As Baron and Baroness this will not change except that we will endeavour to have at least one of us at each bash and will ensure we are at Crafthall the week of the officers meetings.
eleanora has been involved in running somewhere between 60 and 80 events. Most of these were as cook, feeding between 20 and 200, a few as steward, and numerous other roles. She has started a group to teach younger (under 30's) members of the Barony to run events as they have expressed uncertainty about running things when their parents' generation are so much more experienced. Over the years eleanora has held the offices of lists, A&S and herald, at college, canton and Baronial levels. Aeddan ran Stormhold Winter Feast for a few years and is currently Cairn Fell's seneschal.
We moved from central Stormhold to Cairn Fell almost nine years ago and have been heavily involved in the canton ever since. Our home has hosted many canton meetings, eleanora has run A&S classes, and cooked when Cairn Fell hosted Bal d'Argent. During Stormhold's troubled years, Cairn Fell played a major role in keeping the Barony running. It was in Cairn Fell that the dream was kept alive. In those days Cairn Fell members ran most of Stormhold's events, first here in the canton and later traveling to Melbourne to run them. Aeddan and eleanora were heavily involved in this.
eleanora has done many Arts and Sciences over the years from making garb and tents to embroidery and weaving, and researching recipes and cooking feasts. She is apprenticed to Mistress Rohese de Fairhurst, and has her support in this endeavour. Aeddan has a keen interest in many areas, and has helped build tents and furniture.
Aeddan is an authourized fencer and fencing marshal. Before recently authourizing heavy he was a light combatant for about 15 years. eleanora has been Stormhold's list keeper on and off for the last two decades. Our son, at nine, is a promising archer.
The older two kids are supportive and encouraging of this application and have said that they will help with Baronial duties and generally getting things organized for events. The youngest, Kiera, being only five just thinks it will be fun. Gwen and Ronan are both on the Mouse Guard. At bash they both help with set up and pack down, and Ronan helps Shar set up the archery. Gwen helps look after her younger sister and has helped in the kitchen at events. She wants, and has the skills, to help make the tassels and award cords for the Barony, regardless of who is Baroness. They are old enough to be a help rather than a hindrance.
If we are chosen as the next Baron and Baroness, we will do our best to recognize and encourage the work of the populace in A&S, service and fighting. We realize that we are all here by choice and to have fun. We will lead by example, and reward effort and excellence while also encouraging everyone, whether they are new or have been around for years, to try something new. We want to encourage more, smaller, simpler events, not just the bigger ones. eleanora is already working on this with the under 30's group who are planning two events for this year. We will promote the teaching and practice of the arts and sciences as well as martial activities. We believe that the future of the SCA is in new people, whether they are adults joining or kids growing up in the SCA. While eleanora's current focus is on mentoring the young adults to participate more and be involved in the running of activities, we are aware that another major facet is our traditions and stories. We would love to see a project where the story of the Barony is collected and passed on, in photos, stories, poems and songs, online and around the campfire.
Regardless of who is chosen as the next Baroness and/or Baron, they, and the Barony will have our full support in the coming years as they have in the past. The strength of the Barony depends on all of us working together and having fun with what we do.
In service to the dream,
eleanora de la birche, OSP, PF, OGT, OLM, ORoLi, etc.
Aeddan ap Andraes, AoA, OSR.

Fetal homicide bill defeated by Democrats not a Trojan horse for personhood, sponsor says
Heather Surovik, a mother who lost a pregnancy as the result of a car accident last July, says her unborn son, Brady, was indeed a person. "He was eight pounds, two ounces and was a perfect little boy," she told lawmakers yesterday.
Surovik testified in favor of Joshi's bill. She said she was in the last few weeks of her pregnancy and on the way home from a doctor visit when her car was struck by a drunk driver. Surovik, her mother and her five-year-old son survived the crash. Brady did not. Melanie Asmar Heather Surovik speaks at a press conference as her mother, beside her, holds a photo of Brady.
Learning that prosecutors could charge the driver with destroying her property but not with the death of her son was difficult, Surovik said. "Every year the legislature looks for excuses to reject the recognition of babies like Brady as victims of violent crimes is another year that you choose to side with the criminals and against mothers," she added.
Ellen Belef of the group We Are Women Colorado testified against the bill. While she said she sympathizes with women who've lost babies and is in favor of holding accountable those responsible, "this is not the way to accomplish that."
Representative Ray Scott asked Belef to clarify her language, noting that she'd used the word "babies." He asked her a simple question: What exactly have those women lost?
"They lost a pregnancy," Belef said politely. In the audience, Surovik began to cry.

Hi All
I've never planted this type of tulip, but love the mix on the front of both Scheepers and High Country Gardens catalogues...I guess lots of folks will love the images. BUT, would you tell me what your experience with these are? thank you
Follow-Up Postings:
I planted one pack of Red Emperor a couple years ago. Giant neon red tulips that come up early, long stems that can blow over in the wind. Something has been digging up that garden, but at least 2 out of the original 5 maybe are still coming up. I haven't seen those catalogues, are the yellow ones this impressive? |

here's the mixture. They don't have the cover photo...darn. But they do look top heavy v |
Here is a link that might be useful: mix
Emperor tulips would make a poor mix. They bloom at different times, are different heights, and the flowers are different sizes. Also, only Red comes up year after year. |
Those are earlier than other tulips, quite tall and have noticeably larger flowers, huge petals, so plant them away from the very edge of the bed. I had Flaming Purissima last year and they looked great, except that there were many more white flowers than pink-veined ones (the photos usually show much pink ones). I do not know about mixing them. |
Fosteriana (note spelling) tulips are good and dependable naturalizers where tulips are treated as perennials. Our various Emperors multiply every year. The white 'Purissima' is a known fosteriana naturalizer. |

cynthianovak, First off, I find that many times folks forget, or don't realize the great pains and expense that many nurseries go to in order to achieve those perfect pictures. It is common practice for some growers to "stage plant" these beds specifically for one photo-shoot. I have seen where hundreds of plants may be dug and planted before they get that one picture that they feel is perfect. The other thing to bear in mind is that these photos show us what would be possible if everything were absolutely perfect. Possible? Yes - but highly unlikely. As to raising these, or any spring-flowering bulb for that matter, yess they will come back year after year and bloom nicely as long as you keep them properly fed at the right times, properly watered and dig them about every three years, divide the bulbs and rejuvinate the beds. It is just my opinion, but I think Tulips are a flower that looks best planted to view from a little distance and not up close as in the front of the bed. Also, if you tend to have a lot of wind, it would be advisable to provide some form of support for any of the tall species. However, I find this to be a simple thing provided you do this at planting time. I use painted coat hangers and soda straws. I'll be glad to give you or anyone more information on this if you will drop me a line at - email@example.com Also, you might check out the website below. They have a lot of great information and a pretty good newsletter that covers a little bit of everything. |

President Richard M. Nixon, had he had lived, would've turned 100 years old last week. He was elected in 1968 and inaugurated in January 1969. All of Chester was excited in 1969 as the Thomas Dale High School band prepared for the inauguration.
According to the Chesterfield-Colonial Heights News-Journal on Thursday, Jan. 16, 1969, "Excitement edged with a bit of apprehension, pervades the music Department of Thomas Dale High School this week. The 50 piece band, color guard of 30, nine majorettes and a drum major are preparing for the inaugural parade of President-elect Richard M. Nixon in Washington on January 20. The invitation came at the instigation of Idaho Inaugural Committee Chairman Roy Wilbur. Wilbur has four grandsons in the Chesterfield County School System and his close connection encouraged him to recommend the Thomas Dale High School Band when it was decided that it would be too far and too expensive to have an Idaho band to travel to Washington."
The Thomas Dale high School Band was under the direction of William Buck, and the band performance at the inaugural event provided an incentive for the band to aspire to future honors.

Catie Curtis Touring In Support Of Long Night Moon Published October 26, 2006 The singer's new album features a guest appearance by Mary Chapin Carpenter, and the track "People Look Around" won the Grand Prize at this year's International Songwriting Competition.
Catie Curtis is heading out on a U.S. tour in support of her new album, Long Night Moon. Described as her most personal effort to date, Long Night Moon is an intricate work of stripped-down modern folk.Long Night Moon features the track "People Look Around," for which Curtis - along with co-writer Mark Erelli - was honored with the Grand Prize in this year's International Songwriting Competition (out of 15,000 entries from 82 countries). "People Look Around" addresses the human toll and the divisive political landscape that arose in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Produced by Lorne Entress (Lori McKenna, Mark Erelli, Alastair Moock), Curtis focused on simple arrangements for Long Night Moon, using strings and vintage instruments to create soundscapes with an often hushed quality that never overwhelms her sweet, strong voice. Recorded over several months, the songs on this record have a raw and organic quality that reflects Curtis' live performance style. Curtis is joined by guitarists Kevin Barry (Paula Cole), Mark Erelli and John Jennings (Mary Chapin Carpenter), bassist Mike Rivard (Jonatha Brooke), and drummer John Sands (Aimee Mann). Mary Chapin Carpenter makes a special appearance on the track "Water and Stone."
Curtis' richly textured voice continues to shine on this new body of work which addresses themes of waiting, questioning, reconnecting. The songs on Long Night Moon were written at the time when Curtis first became a parent. "Becoming a parent has made me more aware of and invested in the world my children will inherit," she says.

This winter strong wind knocked off a branch of my royal purple bougainvillea. I cut it into a few pieces and stuck it in the large container with the mother plant -not really expecting them to root. I thought they were probably dead by now, but when I went to yank them outI have discovered that they have small leaves. My question is when do I put them in their own pots?
I dont want them to stay in with the mom plant too long because the roots will grow into hers and bougainvillea roots are fragile. However, I dont know if the new ones are ready to be moved. How big do the leaves need to be to move them? I don't think I should pull on the cuttings (to check if rooted) because of their fragile roots and they are still little... any advice? ~sjn |

Sjn, I'd remove when the roots are about 3"..no longer since you don't want them tangling w/mom. For a fuller plant, plant all the cuttings in one pot. A reasonable size, but not too large since roots are young. Plant in a well-draining soil since Bougs do not like wet feet. Place in a bright area out of direct sun, at least until plant is established. Toni |

Sultry, How long did it take to root your bougainvillea? I took a cutting and put it in a glass of water where it has been for 4 weeks. It still flowering and looks fine but absolutely no indication of any roots or nubbies at all. I want to take more cuttings to share but I really would prefer to send them out rooted! Anyone have suggestions on a better (or faster way) to root them? |
- Posted by sultry_jasmine_night steamy z9 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 23, 06 at 15:12
Thanks I will pot em up this week then. I think it was late November when I put the cuttings in. I didnt use rooting hormone or anything (prob would have been faster if I did)they were woody type cuttings, and it is humid here. I just wanted to save the branch and make babies if I could lol. I just noticed the leaves so I dont know how long it actually took. This plant has been out all winter-no heat except the night it got down to 28F I took pity and brought Everything in! They do root faster with heat. I didnt know you could water root them though. If it works let me know I definitely want to try it. I recently tried rooting a rainbow bougie with rooting hormone in soil, that was about 3 weeks ago and the branch has started the new leaves but no roots yet. They are slow. ~SJN |

Thanks Sultry, I'm not sure you can root in water either! I just popped it in there and figured let's see what happens. I've been watching the stem to make sure it doesn't suddenly go mushy. Well, it does sound like they take a long time if your one from November is just coming along now. I think I will take some more cuttings and try them in soil mix with some rotting hormone, too, just to be on the safer side! |
I don't know if this is true, but someone told me once that rooting in water doesn't produce true roots. The plant still must make "dirt" roots after it is planted. For that reason, I have stopped rooting in water and only use soil. I was also told to get at least 3 leaf knodes into the soil to root. If the end starts to rot, there is a good chance one of the other knodes is rooting. :) |

Hi Katkin, Thanks for the info. I think you are right. I kind of remember hearing something about water - rooted roots being more brittle or something, too. I just snipped a cutting and figured I'd give it a try and popped it into a glass of water until I got some more vermiculite or seed starting mix....and well, here we are weeks later and still nothing. I want to try again with the soil method. I don't remember if it was you or JoanMary who was telling me that even in FL we need to cover cuttings to create a greenhouse effect over the cutting. I'm trying that with the yesterday, today and tomorrow I got from JoanMary now. It's lost all it' leaves but it's still green so I'm hoping only good things are happening underground. Do you root a lot of cuttings? Any other hints to help increase my luck? :) |

Here's what I did: I took end cuttings about 3" long. I stripped off all but 2 or 3 leaves at the ends. Dipped each cutting in rooting hormone powder and stuck them into regular Miracle Gro potting mix in 3" pots. Covered with a ziploc plastic baggie and put outside where it got late afternoon sun for about 2 hours but shade the rest of the day. I did this with 3 cuttings and 2 of the 3 had lots of new leaves after only 3 weeks. I have not pulled them up to check for roots. I think I will just cut out the bottoms of the pots and pot each one in a 6" pot. Can I assume that since they have sprouted loads of new leaves that they must have rooted as well? |

Wanna, One thing, I've read in several books, when you take a cutting, take a nice, healthy shoot without flowers. I've talked to ppl who rooted their bougs in water, but the shoots were w/o flowers..they cut a 3" piece, stuck in water, and changed water every day to every second day. Toni |

Just an update. I repotted my 2 cuttings today and was amazed to find that the roots have almost filled the 3" pots! I guess the rooting hormone did its job. This was amazingly fast, probably a month at the most. Good luck to those of you trying to root cuttings. If all else fails, try the method I posted above...it was so easy and fast! |
- Posted by wanna_run_faster 10 SoFLA /9 orl (My Page) on Thu, Apr 27, 06 at 12:32
I'm going to keep trying! Hopefully I'll be successful soon with all your good hints! |
I took a cutting about 6 inches, and it had flowers on it. I cut the flowers off and the leaves off of the bottom 4 inches. I lightly scraped the bottom of the cutting and dipped it in rooting hormone. Wrapped the bottom of the cutting with paper towels and stuck that in a shot glass. Filled the glass with water and put it in a zip lock bag in the window sill. 4 Weeks later there were roots all in the shot glass. Planted it and new growth is shooting up everywhere. I tried that method again and it is working. |

I took the advice you guys are so generously giving and have potted three cuttings about 3 inches long with rooting hormone, placed the pot in a baggie and put it in the window. That was a week ago and so far all I see is condensation, but the cuttings are still a really good color. Question: Should I put the baggie outside? It's 95 to 100 degrees here, seems to me it would fry. My tomatoes have already fried! Anybody know? |
Flossieann, I wouldn't put your cuttings in full sun, like you said they would fry. Maybe morning sun and then shade the rest of the day. |

If I use zone9dan's suggestion of putting cuttings in a ziploc bag in a window, should I zip the bag shut or leave it open? Thank you very much in advance! |
- Posted by flossieann 8a (My Page) on Tue, Jul 14, 09 at 22:11
Close the bag Jamesinlafayette, the object is to create a tiny hothouse. With the bag closed the cuttings will live off their own moisture and create a cycle where the moisture will form at the top of the bag and then drop back onto the cuttings,it then recycles thru the cuttings and the whole thing starts again. The heat and moisture encourage root growth and in a few weeks you should have enough roots to allow the cuttings to live outside their little hot house and that's when you take them out and put them in potting soil and viola, you have a new plant. |
I had to severely trim my Bougainvillea yesterday to allow the replacement of my AC outside unit. Can I still get cuttings from the trimmings and root them for future plants. My plant is over 10 feet tall and spread wide. I left the trimmings in the shade. Coots |

Since I rooted those initial cuttings in 2006, I have routinely been rooting bougainvillea cuttings in the fall. I usually just take semi hard wood cuttings (hard brown wood works well too) about 10 inches long and stick them in with a potted plant or something that I am putting in the greenhouse that I am not going to be watering too often. Seems to work out really well. In the spring it is rooted and I just re pot the plant and take out the rooted bougie cutting and put it where I want to. I think they do not like a lot of water when they are first rooting in soil. I get rot when I water them too often during the winter when they are rooting. |
Seeing leaves on cuttings does not mean that you have roots. I thought that to when I started to see new small leaves, and when I removed them, there were no roots. Maybe it would root if I left them in longer..but I can't understand why new leaves appear prior to roots. Shouldn't it be the other way around? LOL |
I love the flowers but hate the thorns on the older branches. Have to be careful of infections. |

Georgia Tech Tests Wireless Emergency Alert System for Visually Impaired
Atlanta -Mar 4, 2008 - The Georgia Tech Wireless Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center has successfully tested its Wireless Emergency Communications (WEC) project. Results indicate that 94 percent of blind and visually impaired test subjects found WEC to be a significant improvement over their current methods of receiving emergency alerts.
Given that 18 percent of Americans are thought to have some type of disability, and that an estimated 60 percent of Americans use wireless services, it was not surprising that the Center's survey of user needs revealed that people with disabilities are significant users of wireless products and services. Further, 65 percent of those respondents said that their wireless devices were important because of the role they play in summoning help in an emergency.
This first field test involved participants from the Georgia Radio Reading Service in a full-day study to engage the effectiveness and accessibility of this prototype emergency alerting system. Subjects ranged from sight-enhanced individuals to those who are fully blind. Additionally, the test subjects' level of familiarity and use of wireless technologies ranged from technically savvy to infrequent users.
Mobile phones with WEC custom software featured an audio-oriented interface and text-to-speech reading of emergency alerts for the visually impaired; the capability to recognize an incoming alert of critical importance and override any muted sound or vibration settings to ensure that the critical alarm was delivered; and an alert attention signal that is identical to the national EAS tone familiar to the hearing population.
WEC sent a series of SMS text messages to Cingular 3125 Smartphones provided to each test subject. WEC tested custom software that runs on a Windows Mobile OS, designed to send accessible emergency alerts to short message service-capable handsets. The custom software then presented the content of the text alert in an audio format. WEC engineers simulated the emergency alerts, employing the Common Alerting Protocol, as if they originated from the National Weather Service.
Three separate weather alerts of increasing intensity were issued to participants over a period of time. Many of the test subjects liked the idea that with each test message the alert signal got louder, indicating the severity of the event. In all three test groups, affordability was raised as an important issue. Some noted they liked the repeat option in case they did not hear it clearly the first time, and that it was superior to just receiving alerts from TV, radio or friends, in which cases the alerts might not be targeted or immediate. Others felt that the specialized software would not only benefit them, but also their family and friends who might be on public transportation, biking, hiking or anyone away from home carrying a mobile device.
Additional field tests are slated for upcoming months in 2008, including at Public Broadcasting Atlanta and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) in Rochester, New York in June. In the NTID field test the WEC software will have the additional feature of vibration alarms that will notify the deaf and hard-of-hearing population of incoming alerts. A full report on the field tests is expected to be completed in the Fall of 2008, when all the test results and user feedback is complete. Primary funding was made possible by the U.S. Department of Education's National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research.

Why Weightless is a good M2M Solution
Posted on 15 Feb 2013
You may have noticed the announcment of Iceni in the press this week, the first silicon to support the open standard - Weightless over the TV White Space Spectrum.
Argon Design is a core member of this standards body and proactive in the Weightless SIG.
Argon Design is well versed delivering Internet of Things solutions to it's clients, where we select the right technology for a client's product and solution. Recent projects have included the use of GSM, Bluetooth, SMS, Ethernet and now clients are looking to use Weightless.
We thought it would be useful to provide a brief overview as to the benefits of Weightless and why it will be so transformative in the M2M market estimated to have 50 Billion devices.
Where does the figure 50 Billion Devices come from?
Mckinsey and other reputable research organsiations state there could be 50 billion M2M devices by 2020. Where does this figure come from?
Effectively, if one looks at the diverse types of applications that will serve individuals, the count is about an avergae of 10 devices per person - in our home, in our car, on our person, medical related, smart city related, smart grid related and so on. There are over 7 billion people on the planet already and by 2020 this is forecasted to increase to 8 billion. Thus the maths is obvious and the figure of 50 billion devices obtained. Clearly the types of M2M devices used by individuals in developed economies could differ from those in emerging economies, where differing needs arise.
Where does the figure of USD$Trillions come from?
A recent report from M.I.T. estimates a new market for Industrial Internet of about USD$70 Trillion across developed and emerging economies. See below.
How accurate this figure is, remains to be seen. What is clear and widely documented is that the market potential is enormous. What is of concern is that current incumbent wireless technologies are stifling the growth of this market and thus we need properly designed M2M technololgy and solutions.
This is where we believe Weightless has its part to play. Let me explain further.
A specification for a proper M2M Solution
If we look at the requirements for an M2M wireless solution, at the top level we arrive at the following conclusions:-
- Machines talk differently to humans. Machines send data mostly at predictable times. They wake up, send data, go to sleep. Their communication can be scheduled. Humans are spontaneous, we want instant connectivity for as long as we want and as often as we want
- Cells must support a large quantity of M2M terminals - from 100,000 - 1,000,000
- Terminals should not need external power but rather last for 10 years on a single AA battery or work via energy harvesting.
- Mobility across borders and territories with national (full) coverage
- Terminal connectivity priced < USD$2 (inc chip cost and royalties)
- Low terminal connectivity contract costs < USD$10 per year or, you pay only when you transmit data
- Low data transmission rates - in the order of Kbit/minute not Mbit/second
- Excellent coverage inside buildings
- Privacy and data protection of terminal data and Big Data services
- Rights of terminal ownership - rather than a Cellular operator SIM card that they own and thus the data
- Guaranteed delivery of data
- Broadcast messages to terminals
- Terminals be long distances away from cells - up to 10km and beyond.
- The opportunity to own a wireless network - for both privacy, security, cost and mobility reasons
- Be an open, international, standard that provides a platform for as many diverse services as possible.
There are other requirements but this gives us insight as to why current solutions are stifling the M2M Market.
Current wireless solutions fail miserably
If we look at some of the major incumbent wireless solutions, it can be clearly seen that they fail to meet all of the above requirements.
- GSM/CDMA - This fails on many levels. Designed for humans not machines. Terminal costs are USD$20 in volume. Contract costs per terminal are $10/month rather than per year. Power is needed to the terminals or batteries changed often due to the enormous inefficiences of the communications of terminal to cell. SIM cards are needed, and who does really own the data that is transmitted on their network? They do not support anywhere near 100k nodes per cell. Does not work reliably in buildings. You cannot own the network and so forth. It is well documented that in the UK GSM coverage is not 100%
- Zigbee - very limited range.
- Bluetooth - very limited range.
- Wifi - very limited range, high power requirements etc.
- Fixed networks - power needed to the devices and not portable.
None of these solutions meet the M2M specification and you can start to see why this enormous market has been stifled. Dont get me wrong, these wireless technologies all have their rightful place in the human and business experience.
However, clearly we need a new standard. One that is open, one that is royalty free and one that empowers businesses to solve diverse challenges across sectors and territories.
Weightless is the right technology to enable the M2M market
With the liberation of the Whitespace spectrum (US - 2012, UK April 2013, other territories following suit), which is license free, Weightless solutions can be built. Cheaply. It is royalty free if you participate in the SIG. Trials of this technology are going on across the world from Africa, Asia, UK, USA to name a few. Global brands (can't be named at the moment, apologies) are piloting this new technology.
At Argon Design, we are in conversations with clients from across the globe wanting to know more about this technology and discuss projects such as Mining, Water Treatment, Healthcare, Automotive, Building/Road condition monitoring. The list of conversations is building daily.
You can see an interview with Argon Design tallking about Weightless and the opportunity to transform entire emergiong economies.
Want to know more how this technology can help your business?
Argon design is well placed to select the right technology for your business needs.
We are right at the heart of the Weightless standard in both the SIG and creating technology. If you would like to know more, we would be delighted to discuss your business challenges and how we can lever this technology into your propositions.
Please contact Argon Design here
We would also recommend looking at the Weightless website for further information.

Rainn Wilson mocks Angus T. Jones 'Men' bashing
Who better to spoof Angus T. Jones' stunning YouTube video than fellow sitcom star Rainn Wilson?
Yesterday Jones made headlines by bashing his own show, Two and a Half Men, as part of online religious testimonial. Below, Wilson offers his own spin on the viral hit. "Dwight from The Office is nothing, okay?" says Wilson, while sitting besides co-star Craig Robinson. "The Office is nothing, all right? If you watch The Office, please don't watch The Office. I'm on The Office. It's filth. And that filth will rot your brain."
That Wilson's The Office is part of NBC's Thursday comedy block — a lineup that's getting stomped in the ratings by CBS' Men and Big Bang Theory on the same night — makes this shot even more interesting. (The shows are not in the exact same time period, mind you, but their networks' comedy blocks overlap).
It would be even better if Wilson would have made this totally straight-faced and earnest, just like Jones, but we'll take it. Check out the video below: READ FULL STORY

Rainn Wilson: NBC rejected 'Office' spinoff
NBC has passed on Rainn Wilson's Office spinoff project The Farm, the actor tweeted Monday.
The series followed Wilson's Office character Dwight Schrute as he managed his beet farm and bed and breakfast. "NBC has passed on moving forward with The Farm TV show," Wilson tweeted. "Had a blast making the pilot — onwards & upwards!"
Sources confirm that the show isn't moving forward, but its backdoor pilot will still air as a stand-alone episode during the regular Office season as originally planned. NBC rejecting the show isn't much of a surprise, the concept always sounded more like a wacky parody of a spinoff more than an actual spinoff.
The Office, which was once NBC's top-rated scripted show, will now end its nine-year run this season without any offspring surviving into next fall. Coupled with Anderson Cooper's talk show ending, this is also the second piece of entertainment cancellation news that was slipped out during Hurricane Sandy today.

When Andy (Ed Helms) hires his college a cappella group, Here Comes Treble, to perform at the office Halloween party, former a cappella mate/backstabbing nemesis Broccoli Rob (Colbert of The Colbert Report fame) winds up crashing the festivities via Skype, stirring up this rivalry once again. Several notes from the oeuvre of George Michael (see: Andy's outfit) are exchanged before Broccoli Rob challenges Andy to a singing contest to determine who is the real Boner Champ. Let's just say that Broccoli Rob is extremely proud of his pipes, and has an endorsement by a prominent member of the jam band community.

'Office' spinoff scoop: Dwight's brother cast
Another young talent has joined NBC's Office spinoff.
Former College Humor comedy actor Thomas Middleditch is going down to The Farm. Middleditch, who also has a role in the upcoming film The Campaign, will play Dwight Schrute's brother Jeb.
Jeb is described as a pot farmer who's failed at bunch of wacky business ventures (such as Bigfoot hunter). He joins actress Majandra Delfino who's been previously cast as Dwight's younger sister Fannie.
With The Farm filling out its cast and NBC deciding to end The Office after the upcoming ninth season, it seems very likely this spinoff will at least make it to the pilot stage (which as an episode of The Office during the final season).
'The Office' will end next season
NBC is closing The Office.
The veteran comedy — and NBC's highest-rated scripted series (gulp!) — will conclude after the upcoming ninth season.
Despite its status as the network's top entertainment program, the show fell to an all-time ratings low last season following the exit of Steve Carell and general sense among fans that the comedy's best days were behind it. Now original showrunner (seasons 1-5) Greg Daniels is retaking the creative reins for one last season.
"This year feels like the last chance to really go out together and make an artistic ending for the show that pays off a lot of the stuff that matters most to fans," Daniels announced to reporters Tuesday. "This will be the last season of The Office. And we're planning a very big exciting last season. We're going to have a lot of faces coming back … There are a lot of things that I've personally been wanting to do since season two … All questions will be answered this year. We're going to see who's behind the documentary … Now that we know we have an end date we can blow things up and take some chances and it will be very freeing, creatively."
The decision was partly driven by the sense that many of the actors would likely not be around for a tenth season (either due to commitments on other projects, like Mindy Kaling and Rainn Wilson, or due to the rising cost of the show's key players, like John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer). "You have a choice — only tell the beginning of story and the middle, or allow a story to end," Daniels said. "If we didn't let it end this year, I don't think we would have been able to tell the ending stories of so many characters… we couldn't count on getting everybody back for season 10."
That said, creatively rebooting the show was considered. "You could see a world where new people keep coming on the show," Daniels said. "But I think [we want to] do justice to the existing characters in the most creative and explosive way and that means the show will be changed to such a degree that if anything was to continue it wouldn't be the same show."
The showrunner said to expect some "crazy Dwight" stories, a lot of drama in the Jim and Pam storyline, to see Roy's wedding and David Wallace running Dunder Mifflin. But will the show's former star, Carell, be back? "We would certainly wish for it," Daniels said. "We're not going to put so much pressure on Steve by writing something that would only work if he would return. He really loves how he was exited. He's probably anxious about not messing up such a stylish exit. It's a perfectly legitimate point. We'll see."
Here's Daniels talking to EW.com about The Office a few days ago (and much more vaguely): READ FULL STORY

School of Seven Bells Guitarist Benjamin Curtis Diagnosed with Lymphatic Cancer
Sad news today for School of Seven Bells fans. Guitarist Benjamin Curtis has been diagnosed with a rare form of lymphatic cancer.
As Consequence of Sound reports the cancer is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer found in the lymphatic system.
Curtis' musical partner Alley Deheza posted a letter to their fans on Facebook,
Search for School of Seven Bells albums on AmazonIt feels so surreal to be writing this to you. In fact I still can't wrap my head or my heart around it, but here it goes. A few nights ago Benjamin was admitted to the hospital for symptoms that have been getting worse for a few weeks now. After a dozen tests and scans (which he's endured like a champion) , the doctors say it's T-cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. It developed pretty aggressively, and the chemotherapy to treat it will be pretty aggressive, but the good news is that it's TREATABLE. These next few months will be tough, but he is the toughest person I know (even while here, he was trying to figure out a way to sample the MRI). I wanted to share this with you all, because you guys are such a huge and important part of our lives. Send all of the light and love that you can his way. Every bit will count towards a strong and fast recovery. I believe that with all of my heart. I will be doing the same. Love, Alley

Zoom in
The D-150 tank is the Union latest incarnation of it's MBT. These tanks were equipped with ingenious hybrid nuclear-diesel engines (these engines reduced the sound of the ogre dramatically allowing them to have a little amount of stealth despite their enormous size), advanced all-terrain treads for greater movement (they would have been slower if not for them), state of the art tracking and targeting systems. Only some secret weapons of the Union have better quality armour.
About this creation
The Ogre D-150 tank represents the Unions armoured heavy cavalry. While cruder than anything the Unions designers made, Ogre tanks stand as kings. It was designed to literally break enemy lines; the massive cannon would crack bunkers and shatter trenches, while obscenely thick frontal armour would absorb any incoming shells like a sponge. However, Ogre Tanks are costly, and required ample amounts of time and resources to construct.
The Union is extremely proud of the tank, which is widely featured in military multimedia propaganda, military recruitment mailings, motivational posters found in businesses, classrooms, and even toy lines. As the heaviest Ogre variant, this vehicle has become a dreaded sight on the battlefield. Many commanders will simply refuse to fight it.
Development series/New style vehicles
The Union introduced very much weapons, all using non-standarized parts. the Union's military leadership realized that previous tank designs were often too complex and had resulted in poor production rates and mechanical unreliability Therefore the Chairman ordered a halt to AFV production until the Development series could enter production. The production is based on subsystems common to most Union New Style or Development series vehicles. The idea was to symplify production, reduce the number of elements in the AFV superstructures and allow easy interchargeability of parts on the battlefield. This standarization also means less costs are made when producing the vehicles and maintaining them.
The Ogre
As part of the D series also the Ogre tanks would require modifications. Most notable are the common computers, overlapping but not interleaving wheels, new/better exhaust, new standarized rocket pods, standarized sentry gun on top of the turret, smaller smoke launchers and newer interior. It has comfortable seats uncommon in other Union tanks. The vehicle is equipped to carry out limited battlefield repairs independently. In addition to being a threat to ground targets the tank's missiles could also engage helicopters.
The turret is a self-contained module with no crew transfer being possible between the turret and hull. The turret aiming and rotation mechanism is automated so much as it aim directly to its intended target swiftly. It is truly the last word in conventional Union vehicle technology.
The size of the 190MM gauss gun is both a good and a bad thing.
The good thing is that it can fire larger shells that can more easily destroy other tanks. Using both velocity, and the mass of the round to achieve the effect. Therefore we used such gun, since normal guns would need to be very long and impractical to fire such shells with the velocity a gauss gun does. Also the shells do only contain small ammounts of explosives, since the high velocity given by the gun can penetrate armour easier than conventional guns. With this we could store all the ammunition inside the turret, without fearing it would blow up the tank when penetrated.
The bad thing is that it takes away storage room, and it needs energy to fire such a shell meaning the tank needed to be bigger to accomodate such energy cells. The construction of the gun takes a very long time. It's larger (thus easier to shoot at) due to the cooling cells inside which cool down the gun after firing. Also 25% of the total cost of this tank go to the gun itself. However the gun can still operate without 2/3 of the gun destroyed. since it is a multistage coilgun. This however, does affect the velocity/accuarcy of the shell.
An MG was constructed at the side of the gun.
On top of the turret is the standard 20MM automated sentry gun, which help to defend the tank against both air and land targets.
One of the other weapons are the AA/AP rockets, which can both engage ground and air targets. This gives the vehicle a much better chance of surviving when attacked by several other vehicles.
The hull gunner controls an intergreated minigun to bring down infantry and soft targets.
The armour of the vehicle is still classified because of obvious reasons. What is known is that is uses new methods of making the material used stronger are completly new to Union made tanks.
The Engine the tank uses is also a new type using both nuclear and diesel to drive at a decent speed for a tank this size. The new type suspension also gives it a lower ground presure, however due to the fact these would freeze very easy it was choosen to use a very expensive anti-freeze method. The fact that it also uses nuclear power means it does not needs to refuel that often.

Another back view, the original model was supposed to be able to carry a portable weapon (artillery cannon) behind it, but this idea was later dropped.
Turret turned
Automated sentry gun
one of the design flaws was that the crew could not enter/exit when the turret was not turned since it would block the hatch. The same goes for the engine hatch.
Turret removed
Hatches open
Another interior shot
Interior of the other tank (yes I made two) with crew and engine
Engine compartment
The second version is slightly different from the first, this one has a crew and a darker interior color. Also regular hoses are fixed to the walls
The gun can also elevate
The two tanks together
And another one
And another one..
And a partol with the Goblin IFV and some troops on my desk
Tanks firing range
New roadwheels
And the last shot. This was taken months ago when the two prototypes were developed. Note that one of them was light gray, both didn't used a automated sentry turret but a human gunner on top of the turret with an MG, and the hull minigun was then a two barreled grenade launcher.
Tank is semi-copied from this one: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/45051

Looks very smooth, and armored, and the detail stands out, however Ive seen to many of these type of tanks to be impressed. It seemes Orgres are useless at this point and its about time you unvieled a modern era shaped tank. Ive already finished my second generation MBT, the ARM, LUK-1 Vangaurd tank, which is superior to my Lotus and in time will replace it as main tank. Looking forward to new creations.

While I wouldn't want to be near it if it gets hit with a shell, it's still an amazing tank. I think more impressive though was the fact that you had enough pieces to create two identical ones--which looks totally awesome-sauce.

Nice Inprovement. Because you are using a nuclear engine, if it gets dammaged, won't it suffer a meltdown and possibly even create a nuclear exsplosion?
Yes, as far as tests have proven is that over time they melt down, litarally melt most of the vehicle, and creating radiation poisening to the area around it, but we don't care about infantry anyway :P

Problem: I was trying to insert text checkpoint in QTP but unfortunately every time I clicked on the object to perform the text checkpoint for, my operating systems crashed. I am using QTP 10.0 and windows 7.
You need to uninstall the system driver pal_drv.sys. This driver was developed for the text recognition mechanism that QTP doesn't support now.
The following steps describe the process of uninstalling the driver:
Step1: Go To command prompt. [Start > Run > Type cmd]
Step2: Change directory to C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\bin using the command
cd C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\bin
Step3: Type in nt_tr.exe –remove as shown in the image below.You will see a message box stating Text recognition has been uninstalled.
Step 4: Reboot machine.
