The ADE
UAV has been operationalised by the Indian Army with series production scheduled to begin soon. The drone, with an endurance of 4 hrs in it's primary roles of battlefield surveillance and electro-optical recon, can carry a payload of 45 kg, with it's integrated sensor package (FLIR, laser ranger and 35 mm mini pan camera) and drive electronics contained in the Gimballed Payload Assembly (GPA), weighing 40 kg. The airframe is made of carbon/glass fiber reinforced structure which facilitates for low RCS and the drone is powered by an ALVIS AR-801 55 bhp engine driving a pusher propeller. The Vehicles R&D lab of DRDO offers two engines for generic UAV applications, namely the RE-2-21-P and RE-4-37-P powerplants.�
The 380 kg drone requires rail-launching from a hydro-pneumatic launcher. Launches at a velocity of 45 m/sec are carried out in 0.6 seconds with 100 kW power and subsequent launches can be carried out in intervals of 20 minutes. The Mobile Hydro-Pneumatic Launcher (MHPL) system mounted on a Tatra truck weighs 14,000 kg and boasts of a life cycle of 1000 launches before requiring overhaul. Other variants of the UAV in advanced stages of development include a version known as the
Mk.1W(Wheeled) with a fixed tricycle undercarriage capable of autonomous take off and landing from short unprepared airstrips. This will also allow the parachute and landing bag recovery systems to be removed in order to make space for additional payloads. Further developments will include increased endurance and range and a more powerful engine.
Eventually, all versions are to get IRLS, COMINT and ELINT payloads as well as a laser designator. The Nishant was preceded by an experimental mini-UAV by the name "
", which acted as the technology demonstrator for validating take-off and transmission capabilities.�
The only piloted aircraft at the show was this solitary HAL Dhruv (IA-1105) of the Indian Army. The very same Dhruv was also on display at Aero-India 2003, making it yet another example in the practice of restricting the display of aircraft all over the country, to specific examples. The Indian Army plans to acquire 120 Dhruvs and atleast 9 examples have already been delivered at the time of writing. Army Aviation training which was previously carried out at the School of Artillery, is now carried out in an independent Combat Air Training School at Deolali.�
While a cockpit of conventional dial pointer instruments may be sufficient for this version, HAL offer the helicopter with a standard glass cockpit as well (not to be confused with the Israeli package). The Weapon-System-Integrated (WSI) Dhruv will carry
ATGMs and a nose mounted gyro-stabilized sighting system incorporating a thermal imager and Laser Range-Finder(LRF). To deploy the Nag ATGM from the HAL Cheetah helicopter, a smaller gyro-stabilized sighting system with a high resolution CCD camera and a Nd-YG LRF would be employed.
The most significant of all recent developments surrounding the Arjun MBT was the test firing of the Israeli Laser-Homing-Attack (LAHAT) missile which qualified the tank as a platform for long range ATGMs. The missile is handled by the gunner as a standard round and with a maximum range of ~6 km, exceeds the capabilities of the Reflex system on the T-90S. 39 rounds the indigenous 20.8 kg 120 mm Fin stabilized Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot (FSAPDS) and HESH ammunition, are carried. The Indian Army expects to take delivery of all 124 Arjun units on order, by early 2006. The developers claim that the "Kanchan" composite Armour on the tank provides a degree of protection far higher than available on other contemporary tanks. From personal observation, the build does appear to be much stronger than that of the T-72 or T-90S.�
It took quite a while to modify the original Arjun to correlate with the Indian Army's stringent specifications but work on an improved follow-on version has already been initiated. The latter, upon completion, will be subject to further evaluation. The Arjun project has already given birth to several spin-offs namely the Tank Ex,
155 mm SP artillery vehicle and the Arjun BLT (Bridge-Layer-Tank). Thanks to modular construction, conversion from MBT configuration to SP Gun or BLT configuration is possible by quickly switching the turret on the chasis.
Something that should be immediately apparent to the crew are the spacious fighting and driving compartments, in contrast to the T-72 Ajeya's cramped interior, although it must be noted that a crew of four is carried. The ergonomics are designed from the anthropometrical data of Indian troops. With a super charged 1500 HP engine, the tank has a high power to weight ratio at a combat weight of 58.5 tons and a low ground pressure of 0.84 kgf/cm�, speed of 70 km/h on road.
Although Arjun's gunnery simulator is designed to be simplistic and compact in order to facilitate for easy transportation in a container, the software is extremely advanced. It features weapons ballistics simulation, Day/Night Thermal imaging simulation as well as a vibration unit to simulate firing and battlefield disturbances. The container consists of two compartments, one housing the gunner and another containing an instructor console with a larger screen to monitor, control, evaluate, debrief and rank the gunner.
DRDO's Armored-Vehicle-Paramilitary (AVP) is still in the concept stage.
The Nag-Missile-Carrier (NAMICA) is essentially a modification to the Russian BMP-2 IFV. A total of 12 ATGMs are carried, with four of them kept in ready state, inside the launcher. The Peleng joint stock company of Russia, now offer a Rubezh-M sighting system upgrade featuring a PNK2-42 combined gunner's sight and night-time target acquisition range of 5000 m plus a night-time IFF range of 3500 m, for all BMP-1 and BMP-2 IFVs in worldwide service.

Fraunhofer Pushes 'Full-HD' Voice Quality
By Doug Mohney, Contributing Editor
In the beginning, there was narrowband voice, and it sucked. Then we evolved to narrowband on mobile phones, and it sucked more, due to bandwidth compression and the vagaries of RF signal strength. Rolling into Mobile World Congress (MWC) next week, Fraunhofer IIS (News - Alert) is pushing the concept –and its codec – of "Full-HD Voice." Will mobile carriers get on board?
Fraunhofer are the people who brought the world MP3 and AAC, with the latter codec/technology serving as a baseline for a variety of products ranging from music playback to AAC-ELD, also known as Full-HD Voice. The live AAC-LLD demonstration at MWC uses two off-the-shelf Samsung Android phones making mobile calls on an LTE (News - Alert) network provisioned by another division of Fraunhofer. A company spokesperson said the demos would be conducted at around 64 Kbps – the bandwidth you'd have for a G.711 or G.722 call.
Why is AAC-LLD so much better? It samples and delivers audio – both voice and music – up to the full range of human hearing of 20 kHz. A vanilla PSTN phone call delivers sound in a 3.5 kHz range while the most commonly used HD voice codecs in broadband and mobile, G.722 and AMR-WB, deliver sound in a 7 kHz range. If you play the bandwidth math game, AAC-LLC delivers more than four times the audio bandwidth of a landline PSTN narrowband call and at least twice the audio bandwidth of current HD voice services.
Fraunhofer is pitching AAC-ELD as the perfect solution to roll out on top of LTE, since it delivers music and other audio at "a quality level comparable with HDTV and BluRay" without increasing bitrates in comparison to today's phone services. Any of the current generation of Android (News - Alert) phones has more than enough resources plus dual microphones to effectively use AAC-ELD for phone calls. Add in LTE data rates, and VoLTE transforms into FHDVoLTE. Since it's all VoIP, Full-HD is just a drop in codec for the call setup.
Needless to say, www.full-hd-voice.com is the obligatory website with lots of white papers and online audio demos.
The bigger question is if service providers and device makers will go all-in on the concept. Fraunhofer is not offering AAC-ELD for free. There are royalties to be paid. In addition, mobile service providers will want to conduct tests of their own to ensure that AAC-ELD is clearly better than AMR-WB – and we all know that doesn't happen overnight.
On the other side of the coin is product differentiation and the current trend to put in better audio into phones, with higher-end names such as Beats Audio and Monster lining up with manufacturers such as HTC and Nokia (News - Alert). While audio geekdom has preached the virtues of HD voice for years and decades, to date there's been no hot name hook to get consumers on board. I believe it's only a matter of time before someone puts two plus two together and combines the strength of an audio brand name with HD voice to push the better call quality forward.

When searching for scholarships not offered by Black Hills State University there are a number of avenues to explore. First, we recommend checking with your high school guidance counselor. Your counselor often has information from local businesses and organizations about scholarships they award to high school seniors.
Another popular method of looking for outside scholarships is through Internet sites and scholarship search companies. A few websites are listed below. Beware of companies that guarantee scholarships for a fee. You've heard it before, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Twitter: The One and Only Drama Queen of all Social Networks
From sensational stories to LOL trolling, lets see why twitter is considered the drama queen of all social networks and what makes this social platform so special to all the users around the world.
Love it or hate it, Twitter is here to stay. Viewed equally as a democratising mouthpiece for the masses and as an inane symptom of our overly connected modern world, the social networking site certainly divides opinion. One thing that is for sure though, Twitter has revolutionised modern journalism and the proliferation of information.
However, such information comes at a price. When Twitter infringes certain rules that existed long before its conception back in 2006, the powerful little social tool tends to land itself in hot water.
Contempt of Court
As long as there have been idiots serving on juries, working for newspapers or otherwise finding themselves in a position from which they can influence the outcome of a legal procedure, there has been contempt of court.
What Twitter did, however, was make contempt of court a far easier crime to commit.
When the recent clutch of super-injunctions was launched in the UK, it was of course Twitter that blew them all wide open. The seemingly anonymous mouthpiece of the masses was the perfect place for micro-bloggers to – rightly or wrongly – spill the beans.
This brought Twitter under scrutiny; whether or not you believe in the super-injunctions is immaterial, the ethics of anonymous users of a social media website casually breaking the law are somewhat difficult to defend.
Trolling and Abuse
Because Twitter is very open and almost any user can access almost any other user, conversation and debate very often flows between two complete strangers. While this is wonderful for broadening the horizons of the world through collective knowledge, it is also ripe for abuse.
While many class such abuse as freedom of speech; cyber bullying, hate campaigns and racist/homophobic slurs are not something the police have been taking lightly.
Thanks to several high profile retweets from celebrities who subsequently passed their details over to the authorities, there have been a number of convictions for racist language, hateful messages or incitement to violence on Twitter in recent months.
The world has witnessed the power of Twitter to catalyse revolutions and affirmative action. By the same token it also has the power to incite hate against minorities if its members decide to use it in this way, hence the crackdown.
Twitter Joke Trial
The "Twitter Joke Trial" as it has been dubbed by the media, was the trial of Paul Chambers, a man who in 2010 jokingly remarked on Twitter that he planned to blow up an airport in Doncaster, UK. Someone monitoring the website at the airport did not deem the threat to be a credible one, but notified the authorities anyway.
Mr Chambers was arrested and subsequently convicted. He was ordered to pay £385 in damages plus £600 costs; his property and belongings were also seized during the police operation.
High profile protests surrounded the trial, mainly from people disgusted at the heavy handed treatment Mr Chambers had received. This was yet another example of Twitter in the courtroom and another reason for users of the social networking site to take care as they tweet.

I think twitter is a great tool, but like all social networks it has its weaknesses.
About Domino's Pizza I believe that as a company, it has made a wrong use of twitter.
A tweet like that is never justifiable if you are a company

Even if one factors in Lil' Wayne's ire at being evicted from the Miami Heat arena during the L.A. Lakers game last week, it is hard to not get turned off by his rant. Was it necessary? Or…was it for real? Or was it a nicely timed publicity stunt?
In an interview with Miami's 99 JAMZ, the rapper said –
"Let me start off by saying, I don't apologize for that night, I don't apologize for being who I am. That's who I am, this is who I am, and yes I did say those things. Only thing I do want to take back from saying that night is I said 'F**k LeBron,' I didn't mean to say that because me and LeBron we are cool and I'm really cool with his mom and we have a real good relationship, and that's my homie but it just slipped out. I didn't mean to say that. Other than that though I don't take nothing back."
Here's a video of the diss in case you missed it.

Residents' Rights
Residents' Rights are guaranteed by the federal 1987 Nursing Home Reform Law. The law requires nursing homes to "promote and protect the rights of each resident" and places a strong emphasis on individual dignity and self-determination. Nursing homes must meet federal residents' rights requirements if they participate in Medicare or Medicaid. Some states have residents' rights in state law or regulation for nursing homes, licensed assisted living, adult care homes, and other board and care facilities. A person living in a long-term care facility maintains the same rights as an individual in the larger community.

What are Residents' Rights?
Residents' Rights Guarantee Quality of Life
The 1987 Nursing Home Reform Law requires each nursing home to care for its residents in a manner that promotes and enhances the quality of life of each resident, ensuring dignity, choice, and self-determination.
All nursing homes are required "to provide services and activities to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident in accordance with a written plan of care that… is initially prepared, with participation, to the extent practicable, of the resident, the resident's family, or legal representative." This means a resident should not decline in health or well-being as a result of the way a nursing facility provides care.
The 1987 Nursing Home Reform Law protects the following rights of nursing home residents:
The Right to Be Fully Informed of
- Available services and the charges for each service
- Facility rules and regulations, including a written copy of resident rights
- Address and telephone number of the State Ombudsman and state survey agency
- State survey reports and the nursing home's plan of correction
- Advance plans of a change in rooms or roommates
- Assistance if a sensory impairment exists
- Residents have a right to receive information in a language they understand (Spanish, Braille, etc.)

Right to Privacy and Confidentiality

- Regarding medical, personal, or financial affairs
Rights During Transfers and Discharges

- Safe transfer or discharge through sufficient preparation by the nursing home
Right to Dignity, Respect, and Freedom

National Residents' Rights Month 2014
Residents' Rights Month is an annual event designated by the Consumer Voice and is celebrated in October to honor residents living in all long-term care facilities, including nursing homes, sub acute units, assisted living, board and care and retirement communities. It is a time for celebration and recognition offering an opportunity for every facility to focus on and celebrate awareness of dignity, respect and the value of each individual resident. The theme for Residents' Rights Month 2014 is, "Better Staffing: The Key to Better Care" with the goal of encouraging residents and others to be educated about staffing and long-term care.

The Resident's Voice Challenge 2014
The Resident's Voice is an opportunity for residents from facilities across the country to share their ideas about this year's Residents' Rights Month theme with other residents, ombudsmen, families, community members and nursing home staff. Challenge information coming soon.
Residents are encouraged to think about and respond to the following questions:
Why are adequate staffing levels in nursing homes important to you?
Describe a time when a staff person has gone out of their way to help you or made you feel special.
Describe a time when you raised a concern about staffing at your facility and your voice was heard.
What do you think should be done to ensure there is enough staff to provide good care to residents in all nursing homes?
Residents can respond to the questions in writing (poems, stories), through art of any kind or with video's/recordings. We encourage facilities/families to frame resident entries and hang them in residents' rooms or other areas of the facility.
Plus, we will be creating a calendar in honor of this year's theme! Send us photos of residents and staff along with quotes from the residents about what the staff members mean to them, and we may include your picture in our calendar for sale during Residents' Rights Month!
Send entries to email@example.com.
All submissions are due August 1, 2014.

Memo to State Survey Agency Directors on Access and Visitation Rights in Long Term Care (LTC) Facilities (June 2013)
Technical Assistance Brief - Personal Property in Long-Term Care Facilities
Residents in long-term care facilities have the right to retain personal possessions and make their room as homelike as possible. While the size of the room and potential health and safety of other residents may need to be considered and result in limitations, a long-term care facility cannot ban the placement of personal property in a resident's room. This TA Brief addresses the question of whether or not it is appropriate for a long-term care facility to restrict or ban personal property from appearing on the walls, floor or in other areas of the resident's room.
Piecing Together Quality Long-Term Care - A Consumer's Guide to Choices and Advocacy
This guide from the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care (the Consumer Voice) and accompanying fact sheets are designed for advocates and consumers who are currently receiving or who may in the future receive long-term services and supports in the community. The purpose of these materials is to inform advocates and consumers about options for long-term services and supports, and to empower consumers - through education - to effectively advocate on their own behalf.
Ombudsman Best Practices
The CT LTCOP reported on the progress of the CT Statewide Coalition of Presidents of Resident Councils Executive Board. The State Ombudsman supports and facilitates the work of the Executive Board through regular meetings and conference calls, financial support to attend meetings in some instances and assistance with meetings with legislators and policy makers. (2011)
District of Columbia
The DC LTCOP organized and hosted the first annual Leadership Conference for presidents of resident and family councils at local nursing home, and organized a forum for social workers of long-term care facilities addressing issues with the return of residents to their homes via home and community based services. (2011)
The Iowa Office of State Long-Term Care Ombudsman received inquiries on a regular basis as to whether an attorney-in-fact, under a durable power of attorney for health care, can limit or deny visitation to a resident or tenant. As a result, OSLTCO developed a policy on visitation and access to residents after many concerns arose. The hope is that this policy will help inform and guide facilities, lawyers and other advocates on visitation rights, placing the focus on the resident. This policy has been shared with the survey entity, the protection and advocacy agency and NF/ALP associations. (2013)
The Mississippi program planned and organized its annual Snowflake Ball. Its mission is to provide a holiday outing for residents living in long-term care facilities. (December 2011)
New Mexico
The New Mexico LTCOP worked with the provider community to support the Physical Restrain Free State Initiative. To be recognized as a Physical Restraint Free Facility, a facility must request that the Ombudsmen conduct a seven step site visit scheduled at a mutually agreeable time. If this site visit shows any physical restraint usage, the facility has to provide detailed information about each instance of use that demonstrates that the usage was consistent with the exceptions allowed for under the law. The New Mexico LTCOP expects to build a more positive relationship with the nursing home industry such that facility staff members learn to work with ombudsmen instead of against to promote resident rights and wishes. (2013)

Today, Fox said that she's struggled with mental health problems since she was young, and she is convinced she shows symptoms of schizophrenia. How was she able to diagnose herself? By reading every book ever written about Marilyn Monroe—who incidentally did not have schizophrenia. She told Wonderland magazine, "I could end up like [Marilyn] because I constantly struggle with the idea that I think I'm a borderline personality—or that I have bouts of mild schizophrenia. I definitely have some kind of mental problem and I haven't pinpointed what it is." [Yahoo] Well, at least she knows there's a problem and it's more serious than a pair of toe thumbs. But does Megan know that schizophrenia doesn't happen in bouts? Does she even know what it is at all? Megan, please seek professional help before deciding on a diagnosis! After the jump, a few more celebrities that have been vocal about their struggles with mental illness.

March 3, 2014John from Dublin, Ga asked:
QWhat rate on a hose end sprayer (per gallon of water) is needed for 3.6 oz per 1000 sq ft?
I ordered a liquid pre emergent herbicide from you last week. I am applying with a hose end sprayer that is calculated at an application rate per gallon of water. The pre emergent says the application needs to be at 3.6 ounces per 1000 square feet. What does the setting on the hose end sprayer need to be?
Pre-emergent herbicides are not recommended to be used in a hose end sprayer for the exact reason you described with the dilutation instructions on the label.
August 7, 2013John from Chesapeake, Va asked:
QIs Pin Dee 3.3 EC herbicide safe to use on bermuda hybrid?

March 10, 2014Sue from Sparland, Il asked:
QIs Pin Dee 3.3 T&O Herbicide water soluble?
Looking for pre-emergent crabgrass control. I looked at Pendulum, but noted one customer said he only uses the water soluble pendimethalin because it won't leave stains. So, I'm looking for a water soluble pendimethalin product.
AIndeed Pin Dee is water soluble. For cool season grasses, you want to mix 1.3 to 1.8 Fl. oz Pin Dee with the amount of water needed to cover 1000 sq. feet. Please let us know if you have more questions.
February 18, 2014Sv from Burkburnett Texas asked:

A team of apparent scam artists picked the wrong potential target this week when they tried to cheat Jackie Jacobson out of $500.
The group or individual didn't get the money, but they did get the hackles up of Jacobson, a 90-year-old Billings resident.
"I told the man (over the telephone) that they got the wrong person if they thought they could get one over on me," she said. "They thought they had a dummy on the line, but they didn't. I know what is going on in the world."
On Wednesday, Jacobson got a call from someone with a foreign accent — it sounded like someone from India, she said — informing her she'd won a new car from Publisher's Clearing House. It's a company she's been dealing with for years, she said, having purchased numerous subscriptions and sending in postcards for a chance at the company's famous give-aways.
The caller said that her new automobile, a Mercedes Benz, would be delivered Thursday morning. He also shared what Jacobson considers a lot of personal information about her, including her address and telephone number. In addition, he used names associated with the famous giveaway, names Jacobson said she's familiar with.
"I didn't think it could be," she said about her apparent good fortune, "but in the back of your mind you think miracles happen. He made it sound so legitimate."
"I've got an old car, a 2000 Buick," she added. "I would have appreciated a new Mercedes."
But Jacobson was nonetheless suspicious as well, and so she called on family and friends to help her. Her daughter-in-law, Marcia Berg of Billings, came over Thursday morning for the promised automobile delivery. Jacobson asked a neighbor to also keep an eye out, and he obliged by working in his garage — with the door open — all morning.
On automobile delivery day, Jacobson received another telephone call, from the same man who'd called her the day before. There was a hang-up in customs, he told her, but if she sent $500 right away, that would clear up the problem and speed the delivery of the new automobile.
"I thought, 'Customs? The Publisher's Clearing House is a U.S. concern,'" she said. "It's a U.S. business that doesn't have to go through customs. I told him, 'That's a bunch of bologna.' I said, 'I don't have $500, and if I did I wouldn't be giving it to you.'"
Jacobson then handed the telephone to Berg, "and he tried to bully her, too. He kept saying, 'What is your name?' and she said, 'You don't need to know my name — you just need to know that she isn't alone.'"
"I was kind of shook up," she said. "I wondered, 'What am I going to do if these men show up?'"
They didn't, of course. Jacobson followed up Thursday's upsetting telephone call with calls of her own — to the Billings Police Department and to state fraud regulators.
Billings Police Sgt. Justin Jagers said he hasn't heard of this particular attempted scam.
Police provided Jacobson a comforting presence on Thursday, she said, patrolling her neighborhood at least three times following the episode.
Jacobson said she came forward with her story as a public service to prevent older residents in the Billings area from being cheated.
"I don't want anyone to have to go through what I went through," she said.

Welcome to led_zep_rules's Member Page
See my Clippings See my Journal See my trade list Send me an email
I love to garden. I think it is genetic, because my mother and my siblings all like to garden, too, and my aunts and uncles have fabulous gardens. I am a messy gardener, meaning I mostly don't have neat, tidy edged beds. A lot of my gardens are wild looking. I used to have a small prairie. Now I have an orchard/prairie, 5 acres total. Keeps me very busy! I am mainly an organic gardener, and grow both vegies and flowers. I have recently decided to be creative with my prunings, and have been making grapevine wreaths and drying flowers. Sadly, I sold my previous home in 2003 and the new owners basically clearcut the property. Killed 54 trees and large shrubs, not to mention hundreds of raspberry bushes, asparagus, rhubarb, etc. They even cut down 2 gorgeous flowering crab trees, and most of my fruit trees. Ack!
Now that I live in WI again I have been making a lot of jam, whereas we use to mostly just can tomatoes.
I live in: United States
My zone is: 5 WI
My favorite forum 1 is Harvest.
My favorite forum 2 is Organic Gardening.

Breakfast Topic: What cemented your interest in WoW? {WoW}
Nov 14th 2010 8:16AM World of Warcraft has always been mainly based around the social elemental for me.
I only really became hooked on it when I joined my first major guild, which I was in for the whole of Burning Crusade. It was something to strive for and I enjoyed progressing through Karazhan with the same people each week.
Without a guild, I don't play WoW as hardcore as I used to. And I'm desperately looking for a replacement after the last one disbanded.
Reader UI of the Week: Stympa's UI {WoW}
Apr 13th 2010 8:20PM Looks like a very good UI. But the Action button Frame does look very very close to Caith UI, which has been around since the dawn of time. But this is definitely better than Caith UI, it's managed to get all the crap you need on it without oversaturating your screen with text and data.

rorr Posts: 3,630A few points:
A "Push Start Engine button"? What the.....? Celicas have a normal ignition key. I don't know what kind of crap they added but I wouldn't pay anything extra for that.
Second, FIND OUT why the headlights don't work. They should either be fixed BEFORE you buy the car, or the cost of the repair deducted from the price. Why would you buy a car that won't pass inspection and can't be driven at night?
Third, I have no idea of what "bass pluged into the main battry so its really low" even means. Perhaps someone can help to decipher that?
Fourth, before anybody can help you appraise the car's worth, we might need to know a few BASIC things:
Manual or automatic?
Leather or cloth seats?
Side airbags?
If you are serious about this car, take it to a local mechanic to have it THOROUGHLY checked out. The fact that somebody is trying to sell a car with non-functional headlights (and what sounds like some questionable electrical modifications) would make me exTREMEly leary of the cars overall condition.
Last point (and I'll try to take it easy) - we aren't all a bunch of 19 year old HS kids. Reading posts with ZERO punctuation is difficult. Our ONLY impression of you is based on what (and how) you post. If you want advice from the grownups, post like one. If you want advice from a bunch of other kids, then keep going the way you are.
edit -
Don't take it personally if you get few (to zero) other reply's to your initial question. The Celica forum here on Edmunds is.....a little slow. You might get more responses on some of the other forums. Good luck. -
nippononly SF Bay AreaPosts: 12,695the "bass" is a subwoofer independently powered directly from the battery. And if the battery is low, the sub's conncections are probably a disaster waiting to happen.
If the car has xenons, replacing them will be expensive. More importantly, both being out at the same time tells me that:
(1) the car is not currently a daily driver, suspicious for a car this new, and
(2) there's a good chance it has been in a bad front end accident.
Don't even get me started on this push button start that someone has installed.
I would run as fast as I could from this car. But then, I am not 19 with lots of time to work on my car and customize it. If you know nothing about car mechanics, I would give it a miss.
Also, being 19 means the Celica will cost you a ton to insure, and if you are making payments and have to have full coverage, it will be that much more.
Oh yeah, without a doubt you MUST get a CARFAX on this car. It will be $40 well-spent, trust me.2013 Civic SI, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (stick)
rorr Posts: 3,630Did the '01 Celicas even offer xenons as an option? Although, it somebody has added a 'push button start', I suppose a xenon 'upgrade' is not out of the question.
It's been a while since I went through the whole 'massive amps and the biggest woofers I could stuff in the trunk' phase, but how SHOULD the system amps be wired? I always figured that for the current drain (particularly for a sub amp), the best place for the power supply was off the battery terminal? -
nippononly SF Bay AreaPosts: 12,695Oh absolutely, you have no choice in the matter, but there's wiring it right and wiring it wrong. :sick:
And the many ways you could wire one wrong could lead to shorts and a battery that is constantly dying.
And when DID the GTS start offering optional xenons? Now you have me trying to think back. Wasn't it from the beginning? Or was it just after the mid-cycle refresh? When was that, the '03 MY?2013 Civic SI, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (stick)
rstarr6969 Posts: 1i just bought a 2002 celica gt and it has a system hooked in to the battery too. i got three 12 inch subs in it w and 1000 watt amp which would kill my battery but with it i got a compassetor which saves your battery and will make it so your lights don't fade or anything when the bass hits in. so thats what i would suggest for that.

ashleyb67 Posts: 1I am the original owner of a 2005 Celica with a Toyota Theft Deterent System (Toyota added it at the port; the remote key fob says "TDS" on it and has three buttons - one red, one black, and one green). I am having a problem using the black unlock button on the key fob. I press it, but it doesn't unlock my car. The red button will still lock and unlock the car. I have changed the battery in the fob, but that does not help.
Any ideas?

Seniors show off skills in one-act plays
The Little Theatre - 11/18/12 - 11/18/12
Julie Navejar
firstname.lastname@example.com or
Two senior students at Texas A&M University-Kingsville will show off what they have learned as they present their senior one-act plays during the fall semester's Evening of One-Acts at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Nov. 14-16, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18. All performances are $5 and will be held in the Little Theatre. Both plays carry a PG-13 rating.
The first play is Pillow Talk, by Peter Tolan. The senior director is Catherine Katie Desiderio from Kingsville. She has been in numerous productions at A&M-Kingsville, including Dead Man's Cellphone, Boys Next Door, Mama Drama, Tommy, Reindeer Monologues, Daughters, A Tempest and Once upon a Mattress.
In Pillow Talk, two heterosexual men, Aaron and Doug, are forced to share a bedroom and a bed in the mobile home of Aaron' dotty old grandmother. Hampered by Doug's phobic fear of physical intimacy, the characters are forced to examine their feelings about friendship and each other. As the battle lines are drawn, they get little sleep and a night full of surprises.
Doug is played by Myles Martinez, a senior theatre major from San Antonio. He has been in The Great Cross Country Race, Boxcar, I Hate Hamlet, Blood Wedding, Boys Next Door and Same as Sarah.
Taking on the part of Aaron is Dan Garza, a sophomore from Kingsville. He has previously been in Same as Sarah.
The second one-act play is 'dentity Crisis, written by Christopher Durang. It will be directed by senior Vanessa Jurado from Eagle Pass. She has previously been in the casts of A Tempest, Tommy and Silvia and been part of the crew for Boxcar, Las Cartas, Wizard of Oz, I Hate Hamlet, Once upon a Mattress, Bethlehem, Blood Wedding and Same as Sarah.
Recovering from a nervous breakdown, Jane is nursed and nagged by her relentlessly cheerful mother, confused by her oversexed brother, and misdirected by her psychologist. Eventually, all leave her with no identity at all and pointing out the near-impossibility of self-identification in our uncertain times.
Sara Rose Vera, a sophomore communications major from Corpus Christi, will play the role of Jane. She has previously been Blood Wedding, Snow White and Same as Sarah.
In the role of Edith is Megan Saenz, a junior theatre arts major from Alice. She has been seen in Bethlehem, Reindeer Monologues, Blood Wedding, Snow White, A Tempest and Same as Sarah.
Anya Pena, a sophomore theatre major from Brookshire, will play the part of the Woman. She has performed in Blood Wedding, Sins of Sor Juana and Same as Sarah.
The part of Robert will be played by Luis R. Lopez, a junior kinesiology major from Rio Grande City. He has performed in I Hate Hamlet and The Boys Next Door.
Gage A. Roberts will play Summers. He is a freshman theater major from Kingsville. He has appeared in Once upon a Mattress and Same as Sarah.
Working behind the scenes for both one-act plays will be Benito Latigo, stage manager; Alex Barona, assistant stage manager; Azalia Ramirez, costumes; Patrick Zeno, crew; Fernando Mercado, lights; and Stacy Saenz, sound design.
For more information on this play or any of the 2012-2013 theatre season at A&M-Kingsville, call 361-593-3401.

One good thing this year is that there are so many fewer Japanese beetles. Not sure if it's the drought or the flood in the spring. I've had terrible problems in past years, but this year just a small horde.
Is it just me? How are your JBs this year? |

Not just you. I've squished a few, but it really hasn't been bad this year. They used to decimate my blackberries & beans, but not this year. They've definitely been nibbled on but not destroyed. |
- Posted by organic_chief 5 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 31, 11 at 20:14
I had a few at the begining of their hatch, but they have tapered off sharply. Thank you mother nature! |
They were brutal around me this year, they munched the heck outta my cannas, Im not crazy about picking them so I just usually let them go till they are gone, which seems like they are finally done. I suspect some of my neighbors have those darn beetle bags. |
I have to say that they were WAY down for me this year. I knocked a few into a cup of soapy water and then hung the cup close to the plants that are affected the most which is usually the bee balm, butterfly bush and Rose of sharon. I left the stinky cup there and no more beetles. I have also heard from others around the country on my hummingbird forum that there count was way down too. Penny |

Mike HornickProduce mascots, from left, of Ocean Mist Farms, Fresh Express, Pacific International Marketing and The Nunes Co., visit the salad bar at Fremont Elementary School June 25 in Salinas, Calif. Tanimura & Antle was also represented. A mascot race to benefit Ag Against Hunger returns to the California Rodeo Salinas July 18.SALINAS, Calif. — Several of the produce mascots expected to race at the California Rodeo Salinas to benefit Ag Against Hunger visited a nearby school to mingle with students and promote fresh produce consumption.
The fourth annual Fight Hunger Night is set for July 18 at the rodeo. Five of the 11 mascots in the race lineup came to Fremont Elementary in Salinas June 25.
The school is one of many in Monterey County that benefit from leafy greens and strawberries donated through Ag Against Hunger's More Produce for Schools program. The items help stock salad bars.
Ocean Mist Farms' Arti the Artichoke; The Nunes Co.'s Tobo the Fox; Tanimura & Antle's Captain T&A; and Pacific International Marketing's Buster Broccoli joined Fresh Express' Salad Pal at the school's lunchroom.
Each grower-shipper or processor pays an entry fee of $1,000 for Fight Hunger Night. Those funds and other donations go to the nonprofit organization. The rodeo is also expecting entries from Bengard Ranches, Church Bros. LLC, Dole Fresh Vegetables, Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Sakata Seeds and Taylor Farms.
This year, fans of the event can vote on their favorite mascot on Facebook.


text: Sarah Ruhl has spoiled me with a new play annually for the past three years: 2006's comic fantasy The Clean House; last year's mythological riff Eurydice (of which I was not enamored, but still admired); and now, the captivating, dark-edged romantic comedy Dead Man's Cell Phone, currently receiving its world premiere at Playwrights Horizons through March 25. To call Cell Phone which focuses on the very lonely Jean (Mary-Louise Parker), a corpse in a café, and his ringing mobile ''quirky'' almost cheapens Ruhl's extraordinarily creative premise. Because Jean now possesses dead man Gordon's still-chirping, still-buzzing phone she suddenly has a way to connect to people, like his haughty mother (a dynamite Kathleen Chalfant). ''You're very comforting,'' she tells Jean. ''I don't know why. You're like a very small casserole.'' She finds love, in the form of Gordon's awkward brother Dwight (David Aaron Baker), who seduces her with stationery; they bond quite literally over embossed invitations. She suddenly has a life. Parker, with her rubber-band physique and slack, low-key delivery, is perfect as the open-hearted naïf; she's probably the only stage actress of her generation who can pull off a line like ''I want to remember everything even other people's memories.'' Her focus keeps Cell Phone centered even when the plot goes astray (a second-act Alias-lite girl-on-girl airport-set fight scene is more than quirky it's just plain daffy...how'd that gun get through security, anyway?). And she's a great match for Ruhl. (There's quite a bit of Craig Lucas in whose dramedies Prelude to a Kiss and Reckless the actress appeared in Ruhl's work.) With any luck, the playwright will be able to persuade Parker to star in her next flight of fancy. (212-279-4200 or Ticketcentral.com) B+

plus now i get some lime green helm bug on other players...and when i went to mount on my drake it brought up a nether ray...love patches late at night when we're trying to raid...had to cancel cuz we lost too many for too long.

Jul 4th 2008 9:59PM I had ordered mine as soon as i saw it available on blizzards site.
I had checked later on the 30th and it had been shipped earlier that day.
I checked it today and it had another line and it said my money was refunded on the 3rd.
I'm taking this as mine wasn't shipped in the first place and I won't be getting one any time soon...lame

Mar 26th 2008 4:25PM tank and spank to start. When the bird pops up we burned it down then kill the egg quick, then back to the boss. At like 50% the swimming phase started. We swam as a group to avoid the bubbles. We dropped and burned him down as he was stuned. Went thru the swimming phase twice and killed him before he came out of the 2nd stun.

Mar 26th 2008 4:14PM We ran it with a enhancement shammy, holy pali, shadow priest, feral druid and a distro warlock.
We had run it on the PTR but the instance has been nurfed since we had run it. Everyone in the group was geared in karazan level gear and a couple of ssc/tk items. Only cc we used was my banish. Everything else was tank and spank in order. Went very smooth and quick.
Prolly try it on heroic tonight...but im sure cc will come into play a lot more this go around.
Blizzard lays down the science on gold selling {WoW}
Feb 23rd 2008 1:52PM Ummm...here's an idea...disable the stupid free trial accounts...with 10 million people playin the game now you would think word of mouth/tv ads would be more than enough to bring new players into the game.
