Distracted Driving LawsOne of the most common and dangerous distractions for teens behind the wheel are cell phones. Distracted driving laws help reduce this crash risk for teens. According to a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report, a third of teens self-report texting or emailing while driving (in the prior month), a proven deadly distraction for all drivers and especially teen drivers:
Strong distracted driving laws are now on the books. As of March 31, 2014, 12 states, the District of Columbia (DC), Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have instituted a hand-held cell phone ban for all drivers, with all primary enforcement. No state bans all cell phone use for all drivers, but 37 states and the District of Columbia ban all cell phone use by novice drivers. Texting while driving is banned in 44 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam, with all but five of them making it primary enforcement. An additional four states prohibit text messaging by novice drivers. For the latest stats and facts regarding distracted driving laws, visit the Governors Highway Traffic Safety Association. According to research conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the first generation of all-driver cell phone ban laws was generally effective at reducing use of hand-held cell phones while driving but not at reducing crashes. It is unclear why. To make distracted driving laws more effective, policymakers should consider cell phone ban laws that include hands-free devices and supportive activities such as primary enforcement, law enforcement education, publicizing enforcement, and public education and awareness. NHTSA-funded demonstration programs in NY and CT communities suggest High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) of laws banning cell phones and texting while driving could be effective. HVE involves dedicated enforcement during specific periods, paid/earned media promoting an "enforcement" message, and evaluation. HVE has successfully addressed seat belt use (Click it or Ticket), impaired driving, and aggressive driving. Policymakers should consider providing funds for HVE when creating in-car cell phone/texting ban legislation. |

I've posted this on the lighting forum as well, but wondered how you choose an entire house's paint colors without the benefit of testing patches with lights in the rooms. Some of our rooms get very little light, especially our foyer, unfortunately, so I'm nervous to choose paint colors until lights are in. But, the builder doesn't put the lights in until the tail end of the project. I'm overwhelmed and have no idea what to do. thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just do white and count on repainting. |
You could use multiple portable light stands/ work lights positioned at the approximate location of various light fixtures to illuminate a wall/ room. |

Identity of surprise Star Wars minfig revealed
Posted by Huw,You'll recall that I wouldn't reveal the identity of the mystery exclusive minifigure in the Star Wars Advent calendar after visiting the London toy fair the other week. Well, now you can see for yourself what it is. As I said, it's unlikely to ever appear in any Star Wars movie or cartoon. Head on over to http://theclonenews.freeblog.hu/archives/2011/02/08/sz/ and see for yourself in the bottom image. And no, it's not George Lucas :-)
(Via A Modular Life)

A CHRISTMAS-EDITION SANTA YODA!!! :D That Advent Calendar is worth getting just to get THAT minifig! :D
Lame. I can put a Yoda head on the Santa I have.
HAHAHAHA! Must get that calendar!
LOL That is awesome! I knew about the other figures and some of the vehicles but that is great! : D
That is soooo cool! But, where's the guy who you said wasn't George Lucas? Just asking!
Yoda ;)
This yoda is awesome and so are the battle droid and clone pilot (to add to both armies), but I can't help notice how poor and small the vehicles look plus why are we getting more nute gunray's and chewbacca's, I already have two of both.
bodybomb3-Maybe they ran out of ideas for it. And the vehicles are small because they have to be able to fit all the pieces in the little squares. The calender is going to be like all the city ones!
@ Juno - if they're running out of ideas they should be asking me...
Santa Yoda isn't bad, but they should've included a hat :P
Excellent. And not the first time the little guy has worn the Big Guy's suit.
@Be-Burger; I agree they should have put a santa hat on him.
That figure is still really cool! I bet he'll be on door 24
Aw! That's cute! Santa-yoda! :) Is that all of the minifigs that come with it? It's cool but I was thinking it would be something a little bigger and more "exclusive". I mean, mostly it's just minisets and a few minifigs that alot of people have. It's cool, but not what I was expecting.
@LeiaR2D2-Same, I wanted to get it, but now I don't really, it isn't really worth me buying.
@LeiaR2D2 Yeah I agree, was hoping that there would be something more original in it than a santa-suited yoda, not too pushed to get that advent calender now. I would have much preferred a George Lucas figure! :)
Is something missing? It looks like the Star Wars advent calendar has only 12 items--seven vehicles and five mini-figures. There must be more to it.
Well that's... erm... lame and unexpected. Curse you, wild speculation.
Hahha! Pretty funny! However, you could just give a Santa minifigure some green hands, a Yoda head, and a short, red pair of legs to get the same effect. Still pretty funny, though!
Sorry, for the money they will probably charge for this (i am guessing it will be 45-50 USD since it is the Star Wars license) it will not be worth it. I mean the sad thing it they will sell out of them because they are SW, but for one special figure? I mean they couldn't do a bunch of droids or little vignettes? They had to resort to mini ships? That is what they did for city and THAT was a rip off for 35 dollars....
I mean I hope I am wrong and the cover does not really show the whole calendar, but if that is what they did, uhh boy.
hahaha i never expected that!!!
Chillax dudes, calm down on all the speculation on whats inside - the outside of the calender box only gives away half of the surprises on the inside. There may very well be über-cool intergalactic stuff in there yet. I'm hoping for a Palpatine minifig, and hmmm, oh yeah, also a bikini clad Leia :P
just sayin...
Why in the world is Nute Gunray in there?
@spacysmoke: Why not? :D Just joking, I think it is very strange. I thought the figures would be like Anakin, Obi-wan, Luke, Han, Darth Vader, a clone, a droid and yoda. Guess not!
i'm with LeiaR2D2 here. yoda is awesome. that torso is new, yes? but another clone and another battle droid? that's kinda like getting socks for christmas. (apologies to all you sock-givers out there.) i'm ok with the micro-sets. i understand it's a function of the calendar restraints. i kinda like them. can't wait to see what else is in there.
I already know too much about what's inside, the surprise element has been spoiled already, and it's only February - Christmas is ruined!
I think we all wanted a George Lucas minifig. :P
I'm just dying to know what exclusive minifigure will come with the Visual Dictionary.
^Maybe that is George Lucas?^
The Yoda/Santa figure is pretty funny, but the whole calendar looks pretty lame. I think they should of had more new minifigures or actual things to go with the minifigures, like a tiny battle droid cart or hologram thing, ect.
LOL Santa Yoda. :P
lol ok yoda looks so lame. i think it would be better if we put the old head on the suit i hate the new yoda head
Shoot! I was way too excited about this! Now that I know what it's like, I don't want it. Thanks durins, that was hilarious.
That's awesome! A New Santa torso!! One that isn't just plain red XD
The Mini models in the calendar are horrible, i hope there is more to the calendar(such as minifig scale sets) or else im buying the santa yoda off ebay for probably 5% of the price of the actual calendar.
Who knows how much its gonna cost anyway
That Yoda is awesome!
How disappointing :P
@boboloveslego2, Just replace the head!
Sell the new one on Ebay for $10. :P
And I was thinking of skipping the advent calendars this year! i would probably get this one because my 4yo is really getting into starwars and we haven't delved into that theme much. It does take the surprise out of it to say it's got a Santa figure, but oh well. I think all the advent calendars we've gotten in the past few years have had the piece list on the side so if you really wanted to know you could look anyway.
Wow, that was a little ... underwhelming. Fair enough.
santa yoda AWESOME! i am soooooo getting!! in 25 years that one minifig will be worth a lot of money!!
I would buy it. And i think i'll get 2 cause it looks cool. However, i think its a major disappointment. I was expecting like a cool minifig, and there is only 1 cool minifig (santa yoda) haha. lesson is don't get your hopes up too high :)
haha, and santa yoda was sorta predictable :)
Santa Yoda: "Naughty or nice, have you been?"
The ships would be a lot nicer if there were a few print designs here and there...but that's just me. I just wish they used other figs, like a Kashyyyk trooper. :-) That would be awesome! Or maybe like what Weakbro said, a few more accessories would dispel the lame factor. If Yoda can have a back pack (did I see it right?) why not something for the clone as well, a trooper with a jet pack instead, perhaps? But what to give Nute...Hmmmm.
I'm not a fan of the prequel trilogy that much (though it has Chewie with it), but since this is Star Wars, I might buy. And (wishful thinking) it would help if the price is not too steep.
HUW!!! I felt this needs to be posted in here. If you are looking for a great deal on some Star Wars sets or any series you can head over to BN.com and use the code: N7K9R7V at check out. 30% off. This is a great way to get some great prices on some sets. The code even works for pre-order sets (well it did for me)
mmm, the micro spaceships look cute, and seem to be ideal for the concept of just a couple of bricks a day..
People asking for more detailed or minifig scale seem to be forgetting what these calenders are all about.
Unless of course they also have foreseen that using all the bricks you can build one or two minifig scale vehicles.
But I agree that, except Santa Yoda, the selection of minifigs seems to be underwhelming.. Especially considering the fig-candy galore we are receiving in 2011. Its easy to understand that many were expecting that the so much anticipated SW calender would be the cherry on the pie..
I wouldn't rule the appearance of a Yoda Claus out. Perhaps if George runs out of ideas and makes another Christmas Special... :D
Anyway, HUW, can you remember what other figs there were besides the ones pictured? And was there anything else besides micro-scaled vehicles?
Santa Yoda can be used as the Grinch with a lightsaber!!!! Watch out Whoville, not a happy ending this time!
2010 advent calander cost me $37 at tru. I am guessing with Lucas lisense fees and tru's knack for seeking the deepest fathoms of our collective wallet, expect this baby to have price tag of $47, (which will hike to $54 on tru's shelve on it second shipment.)
I wish they would include some new accessories with the advent calendar (Z-6 Rotary Cannon anyone?)
Eh, I was hoping for something better, but it is an Advent calender anyways.
To all my peeps in AZ: Go check your local Fry's food Marketplace store, lots of Lego sets on clearance. They had HP hogwarts express for $55.
Starfire been there done them. Even used the $6 coupon from FNE
Cool! I have no Advent calenders or Star Wars sets! Could this be my first?
Just so everyone knows, the picture on the front isn't all of the things it comes with! Remember all the other Advent calenders for City? They have just half of what it really came with. Hope this helps! Sorry, kinda off topic!
NOT impressed at all.
It isn't lame at all... now we get bright red short legs, and a new printed torso. Although, the torso looks very similar to one I made a while back... http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Lego_lord/Stickers
Thats lame. I was really hoping for a George Lucas minifigure. :(

Coal exports from Bellingham could ramp up rapidly
Developers of the largest of the region's proposed coal-export terminals have shifted their site plan to claim a dramatic reduction in impacts on wetlands.
Simultaneously, SSA Marine, the Seattle international terminal operator, said it will speed up plans to operate Gateway Pacific Terminal (GPT) north of Bellingham at full capacity. The capacity planning, along with plentiful evidence that BNSF Railway is beefing up its tracks in northwestern Washington to prepare for more coal and oil traffic, alerted terminal foes and brought immediate pushback Monday from the Bellingham City Council.
Potentially adding fuel to the fire, BNSF and its largest union are moving toward a contract that allows the railroad to run the 130-car, mile-plus-long coal trains with a single engineer in the cab, replacing the present practice of two in the cab.
All of this is part of the unfolding drama of Big Energy's efforts to move massive amounts of coal and crude oil from the energy basins of Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota to deepwater ports in the Pacific Northwest for export to Asia. A formidable bank of environmental regulations and regulators must be cleared, and a host of local environmentalists, climate warriors and community groups will be heard.
SSA Marine claimed some environmental high ground with its new announcement of a change in its site plan, to allow it to reduce by 49 percent the acreage of wetlands on the roughly 300 acres it will develop. Wetlands mitigation had been a serious issue for the project, which will be on the Straits of Georgia at Cherry Point in northern Whatcom County.
About two years ago, after it had filed its original GPT application, SSA bought a 353-acre parcel, the former Chicago Bridge & Iron property. The new site, according to Senior Vice President Bob Watters, added upland property that allowed the reduction in wetlands, as well as a reduction in the terminal's overall footprint by 14 percent.
Whatcom County officials have allowed the new wetlands plan to be substituted for the original GPT application, stating that the new plan "does not materially alter the (original) application."
The emergence of SSA's new wetlands mitigation site has delayed much of the key work in drafting an environmental impact statement (EIS) by the county and the state Department of Ecology. The agencies jointly signed a $7.2 million contract on Feb. 27 for EIS work by the engineering firm CH2M Hill. But studies never began on what the agencies call "direct impacts," on the site itself, because officials were told that SSA Marine contractors were working on a revised site plan.
A draft EIS that had been targeted for April 30, 2015 will likely not be available before the end of 2015. Ecology's Alice Kelly told Crosscut that work has been done on off-site or "indirect" issues, such as rail, shipping, fish and health issues, that will not be affected by changes to wetlands. But the draft EIS must wait for review of the wetlands changes.
Wetlands issues are important to state and federal agencies and GPT's new site plan will greatly ease these concerns, but will not affect objections of the Lummi Nation, tribal elders say. That's because the changes do not address cultural or fishing rights associated with the terminal, they say.
Many of the most-publicized objections to the terminal are actually away from the GPT site itself — in the case of global climate change, thousands of miles away — and beyond the reach of SSA Marine to address, except perhaps politically. The major push for exports is coming from huge coal companies such as Peabody and Cloud Peak, who hope Asian markets can replace shrinking American coal consumption. Gateway Pacific is, in effect, the "hinge" that makes it all work and, since it is the first of several coal or oil terminal proposals, actions or precedents are potentially critical to the entire energy-export picture in the region.

"The latest, sent Monday night, asks the county to pressure BNSF to release its plans to serve GPT and the mounting crude-by-rail traffic."
Actually this is a point of confusion and uncertainty. BNSF is not building the coal terminal. Should the railroad be responsible for answering questions or for providing capacity?
The technical question comes down to: Who is the applicant responsible for responding to requests for information? I don't think it is BNSF. For the Gateway Pacific Terminal (GPT) coal terminal, the applicant is PIT (Pacific International Terminals), a subsidiary of SSA Marine (itself a subsidiary of Carrix International, a closely held company including institutional investors).
However, I have been told that for the Custer Spur rail, SSA Marine is joined by BNSF as co-applicant. Does that mean that the railroad is also responsible? What about rail improvements in other parts of the county? Other parts of the state? Who is responsible for those? Although railroads are involved, I think the real responsible party is the SSA Marine -- but who can say.
Posted Wed, Jul 23, 10:03 p.m.
That was my mistake, in fact I contradicted myself above. In the paragraph Michaeli cites I mistakenly said the county was asked to pressure BNSF; not so, the pressure called for would be to ask SSA Marine as the operator of Gateway Pacific to state how it intended to get products to the terminal. I got it right in the following paragraph. GPT, of course, would ultimately need to get the data from the railroad, but it is the responsibility of the terminal applicant to provide the data, according to the county ordinance. Sorry for the confusion.
Posted Thu, Jul 24, 12:58 p.m.
Anyone who doubts the Bellingham coal port is not already a done deal need only note how BNSF is upgrading the relevant rail lines.
The upgrading proves the associated political process – environmental-impact statements included – is nothing more than another charade of the sort that now exemplifies the Big Lie of U.S. democracy.
Under the new paradigm of U.S. governance, anything the capitalists want, the capitalists get – no matter how many will suffer or die as a consequence.
Were the fix not already in, the railroad would not be spending the money to bolster its tracks to support increased traffic.
Posted Sat, Jul 26, 8:33 a.m.
Perhaps the affected cities with at grade crossings can limit by law trains to no more than 10 minutes every 4 hours during peak hours, with a total of no more than 8 trains every 24 hours. If delay and disruption is necessary, all parties should share in the inconvenience.

The Serial ATA International Organization (SATA-IO), the industry consortium dedicated to sustaining the quality, integrity and dissemination of Serial ATA (SATA) technology, today announced it is developing SATA Express, a new specification that combines SATA software infrastructure with the PCI Express (PCIe) interface. SATA Express enables the development of new devices that utilize the PCIe interface and maintain compatibility with existing SATA applications. The technology will provide a cost-effective means to increase device interface speeds to 8Gb/s and 16Gb/s.
Solid state (SSDs) and hybrid drives are already pushing the limits of existing storage interfaces. SATA Express will provide a low-cost solution to fully utilize the performance of these devices. Storage devices not requiring the speed of SATA Express will continue to be served by existing SATA technology. The specification will define new device and motherboard connectors that will support both new SATA Express and current SATA devices.
"The SATA Express specification provides SSD and hybrid drive manufacturers the advantages of performance and scalability enabled by PCIe 3.0 - which is available now - and the ubiquity of SATA," said Mladen Luksic, SATA-IO president. "We expect the SATA Express specification to be completed by the end of 2011."
The Complete SATA Ecosystem
SATA Express is one of several specifications from SATA-IO designed to offer low-cost, high performance storage solutions optimized for specific device segments. Since its introduction in 2001, SATA technology has penetrated 99% of the PC market and evolved to provide options for a number of applications beyond traditional hard disk storage. SATA is now implemented in a variety of applications including solid state and optical drives, embedded mobile devices, consumer electronics products and enterprise storage. Key specifications for implementing SATA technology beyond the HDD device segment include:
mSATA: A low-profile solution for mobile computing devices and other small form factor applications.
SATA Universal Storage Module (USM): An integrated SATA interface for providing portable, volume storage I/O to consumer electronics devices, as well as PC applications.
SATA µSSD: Also announced today, an embedded, single-chip solution that connects directly to the motherboard to enable ultra-thin form factor devices.
More information on these and other SATA specifications is available at SATA-IO.

Lampard impressed with Ancelotti
Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard hopes the club have found "another great manager" in Carlo Ancelotti. Lampard, who is in Kazakhstan with England ahead of Saturday's World Cup qualifier, was a fan of the ex-AC Milan boss before Monday's Blues appointment. "Everyone who has worked with him has nothing but the highest praise for him as a man and a manager," said Lampard. "I worked with Guus Hiddink who is a great man and a great manager and hopefully we have got another one." Lampar.... read more

Loading... The Cat in the Hatby Dr. Seuss
Compact | Rate recommendations
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. The thing is just how unlikeable the cat is--desperate to be the life of the party, living all over you, deaf in one ear at convenient moments, bloodshot eyes and too-loud jokes, fixin to put acid in the punchbowl and set fire to the yard and go "hey maaaan, why you being such a buzzkill?" And when the cops show up he's just "I can't handle this scene, man" and goes all to pieces and you have to deal with it. And he shatters like glass if you say a single unkind word. And if the kids had taken their eyes off his thugs, I mean things, for a moment you know their mother would have come home and found them both killed and eaten. But then on the other hand there's the fish, who's just a prick and a half. And then you think about the affinity the hippies always had for this story and how it was written in 1957 and then it stares you in the face like the nexus of the culture wars--like, the place where the perennial folktale thread of fear that some prancy fuck with subversive morals and filthy drawers will steal our children that goes back to the Pied Piper (and what the hell, Jesus) splits open and becomes full-on sixties/seventies "she's leaving home"/"don't tell mama, don't tell pa"/"let all the children boogie" children-of-the-psychedelic-corn stuff. And you think holy crap, the hippies must have been infuriating, but the only thing worse than a longhair is still the kind of guy who wants to beat a longhair's ass for being a sissy and listen to some goddamn Gene Pitney. And Dr. Seuss kicked off the game by stealing their children when they were still in diapers. I admire that, but I am also glad in some ways to not have had to negotiate all that mess. Harshes my mellow just thinking about it. The Cat in the Hat appears when the children's mother leaves them home on a rainy day. The children are bored and can't think of anything to do, so the cat brings games to keep the kids entertained. Their pet fish strongly opposes his presence, but the cat continues on with his shenanigans. He makes a huge mess and unleashes Thing 1 and Thing 2 and the children stand by to see what they do. The run in the house and fly kites and make mischief. Suddenly the fish sees their mother is coming. So the children catch Thing 1 and Thing 2 in a net, and the Cat in the Hat helps them clean up the mess before leaving just in time for their mom to walk in the door. Personal Reflection. Who doesn't love Dr. Seuss? I love the rhythm in his stories and the rhyming words which made them easy to read and remember. I really enjoy the illustrations as well. Extension Ideas: 1. Have supplies on hand to make hats 2. Have children talk about their favorite indoor games and activities. Ask what they would do if they could not use electronic devices 3. Have children color pictures of the cat and the pet fish and ask what they would say if they were the fish. This is one of the most famous out of all the Dr. Seuss's books. Sally and her brother are home alone stuck in the house because of a rainy day. When suddenly the cat in the hat cam bursting though the door causing a mess throughout the house. The two children had to rush and clean the mess before their parents came home. This is a great book for a poetry session. This is Dr. Suess' most famous book. It focuses on two children who are left home alone. The cat in the hat tries to take care of them and make their day fun, but ruins the whole house. Summary: One rainy day Sally and her brother got a visit from the cat in the hat while their mother was gone for a portion of the day. The cat in the hat had brought along Thing 1 and Thing 2. These two things had been the reason for the most of the crazy antics that occurred that day. The children's goldfish had constantly been telling Sally and her brother that this was not a good idea, but they did not listen. Before their mother got home they had to clean up the mess that had been made so that she could not tell that anyone was even there. Evaluation/Argument: This is a great book that almost any child will love. The crazy antics of the cat in t he hat, Thing 1, and Thing 2 will add to the fun-nature of this text. Dr. Seuss' illustrations are very bright and detailed throughout the text. He made sure to include everything that he discussed on that page in his illustrations. This seemed like an awesome rainy day to me though. I think that almost any child would agree, but any mother would definitely be angry if they came home to a very messy house. The central message of this book is to enjoy the rainy days when you have them because we all need a day to just relax. The goldfish should have been more relaxed and not so uptight because everything worked out fine in the end.

There's another, hidden adventure, too: this book really will help children learn to read.

Server programs: "nfsd" and "mountd". Shares directories to other clients.
(client) To mount a remote directory on server named "fred":
mount fred:/opt/abc /opt/abc -t nfs -o rsize=8192,wsize=8192
"rsize" & "wsize" is recommended for performance.
See exports(5) for all available options.
(server) Make sure NFS server software is loaded and running.
Create file: /etc/exports to list directories to be shared.
Send a SIGHUP to nfsd and mountd to reread /etc/export changes.
KILL -SIGHUP 265 279 # Use the correct process numbers!
# sample /etc/exports file. (starts in column one)
/ master(rw) trusty(rw,no_root_squash)
/projects proj*.local.domain(rw)

/home/joe pc001(rw,all_squash,anonuid=150,anongid=100)
/pub (ro,insecure,all_squash)
/pub/private (noaccess)
NFS mounts can be kept in the /etc/fstab file to allow mounting upon boot,
and setting different default options for directories.
Example line: (starts in column one)

Query/Subquery assistance (counting available rows)
Hi. I'm terribly novice when it involves MySQL queries so I've tried to figure out this problem but I just can't seem to work around it. I think I learn best when someone else shows me what I've done wrong, or presents a working version and I can then break it down to see where my errors were. So I apologize for the novice code that is about to follow in this post
- On that page, the users are prompted to select a vehicle.
- Once they select a vehicle (inserted into URL via GET variable) they are presented with a list of tracks to select.
- Once they select a track (inserted into URL via GET, along with vehicle) they are presented with a list of setups available for that combination.
(use Riley Daytona Prototype and then Daytona International Speedway - Road, to see it working fine)
That works just fine and dandy, but it is a bit tedious and uninformative. I figured the best way was to show how many setups are available for each vehicle from the start.
So I queried the database for the vehicle names, and used a WHILE loop to display the names and then query the database again inside the WHILE loop to count the setups available. This gives me an error when the second mysql_fetch_array comes around, saying it isn't a valid resource. Perhaps it is my novice coding biting me in the bottom.
I've tried and tried to get it to work while it cycles through the vehicles, but I just can't figure it out. Below I've included the database schema as well as the horrible PHP code I've come up with to get the page to work.
CARS table
- carID
- carnameshort
- carnamelong
- carstatus (active/inactive)
TRACKS table
- trackID
- tracknameshort
- tracknamefull
- trackstatus (active/inactive)
SETUPS table
- setupID
- creatorID
- carnameshort
- tracknameshort
- filename
- availability (public/private)
(there are more fields, but I dont think they are relevant)
Here is the PHP coding with the inlaid MySQL queries where I pull the information. I'll love to see any suggestions on protecting the data from injection, and/or just general code tips.
I use a file for functions, and I connect to the database with one (dbconnect) and then select a database with another (selectdb). Here is the code, laugh away.
(coding questions at the bottom)
PHP Code:<?php
// Display the setups if both variables are set.
if (isset($_GET['vehicle']) && isset($_GET['track'])) {
// Assign the GET variables to something simpler
$vehiclesearch = $_GET['vehicle'];
$tracksearch = $_GET['track'];
$viewability = "Public";
// Connect to the database and start pulling information
$setupQuery = "SELECT * FROM setups WHERE carnameShort='$vehiclesearch' AND tracknameShort='$tracksearch' AND availability='$viewability' ORDER BY setupID";
$setupResult = mysql_query($setupQuery);
// check to see if there are any setups or not
if (mysql_num_rows($setupResult) == 0) {
echo "There are no setups available at this car and track combination, please check back later!";
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='3;url=setupgarage.php' />";
else {
// Display the list of setups
while ($setupData = mysql_fetch_array($setupResult)) {
echo $setupData['setupFilename'] . "
";
// Display the tracks if the vehicle variable is the only one set
elseif (isset($_GET['vehicle'])) {
// Connect to the database and select the table
$getVehicle = $_GET['vehicle'];
// Query the database for the track information
$trackQuery = "SELECT tracknameFull, tracknameShort, trackStatus FROM tracks WHERE trackStatus='active' ORDER BY tracknameFull";
$trackResult = mysql_query($trackQuery) or die(mysql_error());
while($trackData = mysql_fetch_array($trackResult)) {
echo "".$trackData['tracknameFull']."
";
// Display the vehicles if no variables are set
else {
// Connect to the database and select the table
// Query the database for the car information
// RETURNS AT LEAST A RESULT ==> $carQuery = "SELECT c.carnameFull, c.carnameShort, COUNT(*) as count FROM cars c, setups s WHERE c.carStatus='active' AND s.availability='Public' GROUP BY c.carID";
$carQuery = "SELECT carnameFull, carnameShort FROM cars WHERE carStatus='active' ORDER BY carID";
$carResult = mysql_query($carQuery) or die(mysql_error());
while($carData = mysql_fetch_array($carResult)) {
echo "".$carData['carnameFull']." (". $carData['setupCount']." setups available)
";
1) Display the total setups available next to each car upon the initial page view. (tried this and failed)
2) Once a vehicle is selected, show the tracks available that ONLY have at least one setup available for them, rather than a list of 50 tracks. (no idea how to do this )
I do apologize for the length of this post, and if the request is too much. I'm just lost with this.
I gave a nice long reply...
...and this stupid forum *ATE* it!
Okay, I'm going to post this in THREE PARTS, in case it was the size of the reply that triggered the problem.
In your current DB design, the fields
- carID
- carnameshort
- trackID
- tracknameshort
are redundant.
In the SETUPS table, you use carnameshort and tracknameshort as foreign keys to the Cars and Tracks tables. That's okay, but usually you could use CarID and TrackID.
If the only reason for existence for carnameshort and tracknameshort are to provide those foreign keys, then dump them. Use the ID's only.
If you really need the "short"s for other purposes, then dump the ID's. So long as you have both, you risk confusion and possible DB errors.
For my next two answers, I will ASSUME that you are dumping the "shorts" and going with the IDs. But, again, it's okay to stick with the shorts if you dump the IDs. Just alter my queries accordingly.

Okay, I am *NOT* a PHP person. ASP, JSP, ASP.NET? Okay. PHP? Two weeks in 1999. So I'll give you SQL and you can translate to PHP usage.
1) Display the total setups available next to each car upon the initial page view.
That will show you *all* 'active' cars, even those with ZERO setups available.Code:SELECT C.CarID, C.CarNameLong, COUNT(S.CarID) AS AvailableSetups FROM Cars AS C LEFT JOIN Setups AS S ON C.CarID = S.CarID WHERE C.carstatus = 'active' GROUP BY C.CarID, C.CarNameLong ORDER BY C.CarNameLong
If you only want cars with at least one available setup, just change the LEFT JOIN to an INNER JOIN. No other change should be needed.
Users who have thanked Old Pedant for this post:
PodiumAssault (02-23-2009)
Once a vehicle is selected, show the tracks available that ONLY have at least one setup available for them
That will give you the number of setups on each track (no zeroes, because of the INNER JOIN) which you can ignore if you don't need it.Code:SELECT T.TrackID, T.TrackNameFull, COUNT(*) AS AvailableSetups FROM Tracks AS T INNER JOIN Setups AS S ON T.TrackID = S.TrackID WHERE S.CarID = $CARID AND T.trackstatus = 'active' GROUP BY T.TrackID, T.TrackNameFull ORDER BY T.TrackNameFull
Notice that I at least know enough about PHP to realize you'll dump the selected carid into the query via $CARID or similar.
Untested, off the top of my head in this stupid little text box. Nevertheless warranted for 30 picoseconds or 30 picometers, whichever comes first, against all bedbugs, fleas, and bugs with 12 or more legs.

Wow, thank you very much! I've taken your queries and dropped them into the code and it works like a charm.
I'll have to do a bit of research on the structure of the queries to figure out what occured and where/why/how, but thank you a ton.
I'll look into the database redundancy issue as well, thanks for the heads up on that. My mindset when creating the table for the tracks was to have an ID for simple logging purposes, and the tracknameShort for the URL $GET variable so it would be easy to query the database with it, while keeping the user of the website at ease with what car/track combination they were looking at.
I see what you mean about the redundancy, though. I could basically just eliminate the trackID/carID because in reality they hold no real value if I continue to use the Short variables in the query and nothing else.
Thank you thank you thank you, though. The forum ate my initial post as well, hence the choppy and probably glossed over version posted.
-- Ryan
Let me try to explain a bit...
I'll change over to your short names in this version, in place of the IDs.
First, I hope you understand the concept of "aliasing" table names. CARS AS C, for example. That just gives me the ability to refer to the CARS table through the shorthand abbreviation "C" instead of having to spell it out every time. YOU CAN SPELL IT OUT! (But you can mix aliasing with spelling out...one or the other, only.)Code:SELECT C.CarNameSHort, C.CarNameLong, COUNT(S.CarNameShort) AS AvailableSetups FROM Cars AS C LEFT JOIN Setups AS S ON C.CarNameShort = S.CarNameShort WHERE C.carstatus = 'active' GROUP BY C.CarNameShort, C.CarNameLong ORDER BY C.CarNameLong
Now, we need to consider the meaning of a LEFT JOIN (there's also an analogous RIGHT JOIN...my brain thinks better left-to-right so I only use RIGHT JOIN when desparate).
When you do Cars LEFT JOIN Setups, you are saying that you want *ALL* records in the Cars table NO MATTER WHAT [except see below] and then you ALSO want all records in the Setups table that match those Cars records. EVEN IF THERE ARE NO MATCHES!!!
That is, you want all the LEFT records (hence "LEFT join") and any right records that happen to match.
So if your tables had, say:
Then the LEFT JOIN would produce pseudo-records that consisted ofCode:Cars: audi, audi owned by Audrey bmw, beemer owned by Bob Setups: audi, track34 audi, track91 audi, track99
If you like, you could consider that a "pseudo-table".Code:C.audi, C.audi owned by Audrey, S.audi, S.track34 C.audi, C.audi owned by Audrey, S.audi, S.track91 C.audi, C.audi owned by Audrey, S.audi, S.track99 C.bmw, C.beemer owned by Bob, NULL, NULL
SO now your query becomes, effectively,
(I'm ignoring the Cars.carstatus field for the moment.)Code:SELECT C.CarNameSHort, C.CarNameLong, COUNT(S.CarNameShort) AS AvailableSetups FROM pseudo-table GROUP BY C.CarNameShort, C.CarNameLong ORDER BY C.CarNameLong
Now, do you understand AGGREGATE functions in SQL??? MAX(), MIN(), COUNT(), AVG(), etc.?? Those are functions that work on a *collection* of records and produce the desired property from that collection.
COUNT() is an easy one: It just counts how many records there are.
But you *MUST* use a GROUP BY clause to tell SQL which GROUPS of records are to be counted together.
Hopefully, in this case it is obvious that for the "audi" record, there are THREE records, and so the COUNT() is 3.
But what about the "bmw" record??? There *IS* one record there! So why doesn't COUNT( ) give us a count of 1?? Ahhh...because I purposely counted one of the fields from the RIGHT-SIDE table! Count(S.CarNameShort) And guess what: COUNT() does *NOT* count NULL values!!! So because that one and only record for "bmw" has a NULL for S.CarNameShort, the count is....zero!
I ignored the Cars.CarStatus up until now. You may *ALSO* have a WHERE clause that limits the records from the LEFT table (only! it breaks down if you use right table fields in the WHERE...it's an exotic reason). That WHERE takes place *before* the LEFT JOIN, so effectively it's a simple limitation on the left side table. [If you need other conditions on the right side table, you put them into the ON instead of into the WHERE.]
I mentioned in my original post that you could get only cars with 1 or more Setups by just changing the LEFT JOIN to an INNER JOIN. That's because an INNER JOIN *does* insist on only matching *existing* records. None of this "left only" bit. And, of course, that's why I used the INNER JOIN in the second query. Where, indeed, you wanted to elminate the zero cases. [It's another exotic fact, but... With an INNER JOIN, you *can* use the right side table in the WHERE clause. When you understand why that works but it doesn't with LEFT JOIN, you can say you have "arrived" at understanding SQL. It's weird.]

(89% merlot and 11% cabernet sauvignon) Saturated medium ruby. Smoky aromas of redcurrant, Cuban tobacco and game. Dense, concentrated and silky; suggests almost roasted ripeness yet also possesses excellent verve and lift. This has lovely fruit. Finishes with dusty tannins and excellent length.

A blend of 89% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon (84% of the fruit from Sonoma and 16% from Napa), the 1999 is soft enough to be considered fully mature. Sweet aromas of espresso roast, plum sauce, black currants and forest floor are followed by a delicious, chewy, complex wine that should drink well for another 12-14 years.

Flat design and mobile advertising
In a guest post for VentureBeat, Patrick Keane writes that the new flat aesthetic in iOS 7 will force mobile advertisers to adjust their approach and will ultimately result in the decline of mobile banner ads.
While I certainly hope that the end result envisioned by Keane comes to pass (after all, who enjoys intrusive banner ads?), I'm not quite sure if I agree with some of his reasoning.
Proferring a line of thinking that's becoming extremely common these days, Keane suggests that the era of skeuomorphism has outworn its welcome.
With the release of digital and mobile technology, skeuomorphism, or design that mimics real world objects, made a lot of sense. But design no longer needs to help us understand technology through this mimicry. We see this in iOS 7′s flat design, or trend of focusing on the function and tossing out things like shadows and texture. Advertisers must, in turn, adapt to the new operating system with more seamlessly integrated, non-interruptive, purpose-driven advertising.
I find arguments attempting to paint skeuomorphism with a broad brush fundamentally lacking. Sure, Apple may have overdone it with the GameCenter app in iOS 6 or the hideous Podcasts app that has thankfully been updated in recent months, but skeumorphism can still be an appropriate design choice in a number of situations.
That aside, Keane writes that the new and simpler design aesthetic in iOS 7 will force advertisers to change their modus operandi. With iOS 7 opting for a cleaner and less-cluttered UI, Keane writes that banner ads will "stick out like a sore thumb" and will potentially "lead to negative sentiments toward a brand."
Not being a fan of mobile banner ads, I certainly hope that Keane's prediction is accurate. Of course, there's a case to be made that mobile banner ads stick out like a sore thumb regardless of what mobile OS they happen to appear on. Put differently, I'm not quite sure that mobile banner ads look more "at home" in iOS 6 than they will in iOS 7.
Further, some of the obnoxious ads I come across while using iOS apps lead me to believe that many mobile advertisers aren't terribly concerned with tailoring their ads to nuanced concepts like design aesthetics. I can only hope that I'm wrong and that iOS 7 will, as Keane envisions, force mobile advertisers to become more creative and less intrusive.

Mineral Area College
- Higher Education
Mineral Area College was founded in April 1965 by popular vote of the residents of six public school districts in St. Francois and Madison counties and portions of Washington and Ste. Genevieve counties. The school districts include North County R-1, Central R-3, Farmington R-7, Bismarck R-5, West County R-4, and Fredericktown R-1. The college became a successor to Flat River Junior College, the third-oldest public junior college in Missouri, established in 1922 as part of the Flat River Public School System. Since then, thousands of graduates have entered the working world with the college's degrees or certificates.
In continuing the education legacy of Flat River Junior College, Mineral Area College evolved into a comprehensive community college. The academic transfer program almost doubled in size and scope within the first five years of the college's existence. In 1966, the career and technical education division was added. The first vocationally-oriented programs were initiated in September 1966 and consisted of secretarial practice, business management and two technology programs. In 1967, a certificate course in practical nursing was introduced; in 1968, an associate degree in nursing program was added.
In February 1970, the young institution moved into its new facilities on a 226-acre campus located near U.S. 67 and entered a transitional period of gradual expansion. At present, Mineral Area College offers 35 career and technical education programs and required general education courses which can be applied to almost all academic majors. -

Anyone else have this? It started a few years ago, just mildly, but now its loud. I'm also having some sinus pressure. Is it just my age (58)? Is it a sinus problem?
I've cut way back on my salt intake, and have been taking mucinex, drinking lots of water, and irrigating my nose (with homemade saline mix). But nothing helps. Any suggestions? Thanks. P.S. I had a big dizziness work-up last fall, but everything was normal, and it went away. My BP is normal. |

Do you tend to get a wax build up in your ears? A few years ago I had the same thing, and I went to the doctor in case my blood pressure was high. It wasn't, and she also listened to my heart, and carotid arteries, which sounded normal. Then she checked my ears and said my right ear was pretty waxy. That's the ear I could hear my pulse in, so she irrigated it, and a lump of wax came out. That solved the problem. |

I have the same symptoms......and I found this explanation. My doc says I have a nasal polyp that is causing the problem with the eustachian tube. Hope this info helps. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Patulous eustachian tube

Oh darn Carol.......I was just at the ENTs office yesterday and was going to ask him about patulous eustachian tube and I forgot! He had me have allergy testing, which was negative. He said that as we age, some of us can transmit the pulse from our carotid arteries through thinning bone more.....so maybe that's it. Thanks for your link. |

Marnhull /ˈmɑrnəl/ is a village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in southern England. It lies in the Blackmore Vale in the North Dorset administrative district, 3 miles (4.8 km) north of the small town of Sturminster Newton. The resort towns of Bournemouth and Weymouth are approximately 30 miles (48 km) to the south. Marnhull is sited on a low ridge of Corallian limestone[1] above the valley of the River Stour, which forms the northern and western boundaries of the parish. In the 2001 Census the village had 960 dwellings and a population of 1,951, of whom 42.3% were retired.[2]
Marnhull consists of several conjoined hamlets, connected by a network of minor roads. The village presents a mix of architectural styles, with post-war developments existing alongside properties dating back to Tudor times and earlier. It has three churches (Anglican, Roman Catholic and Methodist), two primary schools, two public houses, a GP surgery, a village hall and a recreation ground, as well as various small shops and services. The parish church of St Gregory has a 15th-century tower which is a landmark and has been described as "the finest in the Vale."[3]
Saxon charters show that Marnhull existed as a village in the 10th century,[4] although the village's site has seen human occupation as early as the Iron Age,[4] and a Roman settlement was established at Ashley Wood in the east of the parish.
The television adaptation of Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles was filmed in the village.[when?] Marlott was Hardy's name for Marnhull and The Pure Drop Inn was his name for The Crown Inn.
Notable residents[edit]
- Catherine Parr the last of Henry VIII's wives was given the original manor of Nash Court in 1544. From her it passed to Edward VI and then to Elizabeth I after which it passed through the families of several noblemen and eminent civilians.
- Giles Hussey was born here and lived at Nash House before studying art in Italy.[5]
- Sir Peter Harding, GCB, (born 2 December 1933) is a retired Royal Air Force Chief of the Air Staff, and Chief of Defence Staff.

WORD! Sorry....I am too quick on that it seems.
I chose SDCC MossMan....even though I really don't care. It does look better though.

SDCC version definitely. This final version looks awful.
I voted for SDCC, but I want to explain why. First off, I love both versions and applaud Mattel for listening to the fans and flocking him as much as possible without limiting articulation. They worked really hard on that.
SDCC: the colours and flocking was perfect. I much prefer all these colours to the final version. Brighter colours for MossMan is important. It shows life, vitality...in a word nature.
Final Version: I DO really like his flocking and his longer loincloth. The colours, however, are way too dull/dark though. Dark green is swampy, dead leaves, etc. Even his vine sash, weapon and all the browns and yellows are too dark.
Maybe Mattel can re-issue the SDCC one later on with the lighter colours, more MYP-ish. They basically are 80's figure (the final version) vs. 200X look (the SDCC one).
By the way, I wonder if they glued him so his ab-crunch doesn't move...

Hey MegaGear, your poll is not showing on the main (2008-??) forum page. I got to it from the (Moss man final images) thread.

SDCC without any doubt... and hope they make an unflocked variant to display instead of this Grizzlor's cousin.
The only thing I like about this new "final" (gosh, I hope that's truly not the case) version, is the longer loin cloth. That ties in more with the 200x version. Otherwise, it sucks goose eggs somethin' fierce.
SDCC version looks much better. The second version is too dark and too hairy. But that's just my opinion.
Xbox Gamer tag: Darkbanshe
Wish list: New Adventures toys loose or carded toys, SDCC color change orko, Masters of the universe magazines, grayskull stands, weapons pack one, 200x battle cat and panthor, vintage castle grayskull, snake moutain, and vintage vehicles.
You know why we all dislike the newer one more than the proto?
Because the MYP Moss Man was more humanized than the vintage one... he was not savage at all... and this newer version looks savage. It's not that it's bad - just different.
A Want List of Sorts: Peekablue, Saurod, Veena, Calix, Evilseed, 200X Head Pack, Mara, Buzz-Saw Hordak, Dragstor, Perfuma, Dare, Prahvus, Ceratus, King Chuboolu, Flying Fists He-Man, Terror Claws Skeletor, Point Dread & The Talon Fighter... and all the other POP & NA characters.
I'm throwing my vote to the SDCC version, I prefer the type of flocking they used on that figure and the shorter loin cloth.
Moss Man kind of looks hairy instead of flocked in the finalized version.
Proud supporter of the Snake Men.
Most Wanted: Slave Girl, Crita, Lizorr, Tyrantisaurus Rex, Great Black Wizard, Darius, the rest of New Adventures.
Most Wanted Filmation: Lord Masque, Ileena, Granita, General Sunder, Teela, He-Man, Skeletor, Hordak head.
No Slave Girl? Watch us hurl!
A barbaric world without slave girls? That's truly barbaric!
I like the finalized version better, although they both look good.
The more moss the better for me, I'm glad they were able to flock him as much as they did!!
Final Version.... they almost got it.
Layout of Partial Flock - Impressive
Longer Furry Shorts - Dig it! Looks more like Tree Bark.
Darker Colors - Welcome change, there is no neon found in nature.
Overall this figure would be awesome except....
Covering the Ears - Flocking Wha?!?!
Flocking Material used - A Flocking Travesty.
I voted SDCC version for only 2 reasons.
Uncover the Ears and use the same stuff that was on the Proto we saw @ SDCC and Matty my boy, you've got yourself a winner.

Mattel has GOT to scale back the flock to the way it was at SDCC. I strongly dis-like the new head. I mean...did they look at the other version before the flocked over his ears?
Please Mattel...scale it back a notch on the new head!
Click on Amazon or Barnes and Noble for a free sample of my first book, Paradigm Shift Saga: Malediction!
A short story of monsters and magic!
Oh man, this thing is sooo UGLY. Every time I look at him he gets more uglier than before. Now everyone is complaining about the ears but what about that weired shoulder flocking?? so disgusting and so cheap!
What happened?? SDCC all the way..
Maybe a #1 guard on my clippers might do the trick.
I hope they don't sell him with the ears covered like in that pic. It looks like it was a mistake made by the factory. Is it to late to change that? If it is, I think they should pack a "fixed" head with another figure down the road.
I really want an unflocked Moss-Man variant now...
I like the finalized version better! The SDCC one looks like a toy, as they all should, but this final version really looks like moss! Somehow the final version just pops more than the SDCC one.
I guess I'll sum it up this way: The SDCC one is how I expected him to look, and why I wasn't really looking forward to him, but the final version is much more impressive and goes above and beyond! I wasn't all that find of him, but now I am!

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.
I think the flocking or "moss" looks fine. It's the long hula skirt on him that I don't like.

I will NEVER buy a subscription!
The SDCC version was perfect, was flocked but you could still make out all of the details.
I like the SDCC Moss Man, the final version needs a haircut.

Known as the Telescope Array, the observatory "will be 10 times more sensitive than previous experiments, and we hope it will allow us to finally resolve the mystery of the origin of these ultrahigh-energy particles [cosmic rays] that are bombarding the Earth," says Pierre Sokolsky, professor and chair of physics at the University of Utah.
"We'll have the most powerful cosmic ray detector in the Northern Hemisphere," says Charlie Jui (pronounced Ray), a University of Utah professor of physics.
Sokolsky says the new observatory should begin test runs in late spring 2007, start full operation by late summer 2007 and then conduct research for up to 10 years.
So far, the Telescope Array has been funded by $14.4 million from Japan's government. The three-year, $2.4 million grant from the National Science Foundation will let University of Utah physicists relocate equipment to the new facility from their aging High-Resolution Fly's Eye cosmic ray observatory on the U.S. Army's Dugway Proving Ground.
Structures and roads will occupy only 50 acres of the 400-square-mile experiment site, although the Bureau of Land Management permit allows the use of 374 acres.
At three locations on Utah school trust land, buildings will house "fluorescence detectors," which are sets of mirrors and recording instruments that peer into the night sky for faint ultraviolet flashes that occur when incoming cosmic rays hit atoms of nitrogen, the most abundant gas in Earth's atmosphere. Each of the three sites will be about 25 miles from the others. A "central laser facility" building, located between the three fluorescence detector sites, will send laser beams skyward when the mirrors and recorders need to be calibrated.
The other major component of the observatory is a "ground array" of 564 table-shaped scintillation detectors, each about 3 feet tall and 6-by-10-feet wide. The devices will measure "air showers," which are cascades of subatomic particles that fall to Earth when cosmic rays slam into nitrogen in the atmosphere.
The scintillation detectors will be spread in a grid over an 18-mile-by-22-mile area west of Delta. The Bureau of Land Management "right-of-way grant/temporary use permit" will allow scientists to build the central laser facility and install 460 of the scintillation detectors on BLM land, which covers 80 percent of the observatory site. Permission to install the other 104 scintillation detectors already was obtained from the State of Utah and private landowners. They own the remaining 20 percent of the sprawling site.
Scientists Cooperate Instead of 'Duking it Out'
The new cosmic ray observatory will seek to answer one of the most perplexing mysteries in physics: What is the source of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays, which are subatomic particles that come screaming into Earth's atmosphere with incredible energy?
Cosmic rays are atomic nuclei � atoms stripped of their electrons � of chemical elements, mainly hydrogen and helium. The atmosphere prevents them from hitting Earth, and even if they could, they would zip through a person unnoticed. But if a single ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray could hit your head, it would feel like a fast-pitched baseball.
Some cosmic rays come from stars that explode as supernovas. But ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays are more powerful, and apparently come from distant reaches of the universe. Sokolsky suspects they originate from "active galactic nuclei," which are supermassive black holes formed when about 1 billion collapsed stars amass at the centers of galaxies. Other possible sources include shock waves from colliding galaxies, noisy radio wave-emitting galaxies, exotic sources such as theorized cosmic strings and the decay of massive particles left over from the "big bang" scientists say created the universe about 13 billion years ago.
The Telescope Array will merge two technologies that have counted strikingly different numbers of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays reaching Earth. Japan's AGASA cosmic ray observatory has detected 10 times more of them than the High-Resolution Fly's Eye. Sokolsky says the large number measured by AGASA implies the source is relatively nearby in the universe, but there are no known astronomical objects that could be the source.
So the Telescope Array will include fluorescence detectors like those used in the High-Resolution Fly's Eye and scintillation detectors like those used at AGASA.
"This experiment is unique in the sense that it is the union of two initially competing science groups: a Japanese group and an American group which ran two separate experiments for a decade and came up with mutually incompatible results," Sokolsky says. "It is certainly unusual in the history of scientific endeavors like this that, instead of duking it out forever, they decided to join forces and build an experiment together to resolve the differences."
The High-Resolution Fly's Eye and AGASA have reached the end of their useful lives � more powerful instruments are needed � and operation of the High-Resolution Fly's Eye became difficult in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. Dugway conducts research on defense against chemical and biological weapons, and tighter restrictions kept the university's foreign graduate students from visiting the site.
BLM: Survey Wildlife, Use Copter to Install Some Equipment
In issuing the permit, the BLM required the University of Utah to conduct surveys for and protect cultural resources, endangered and threatened plants, and wildlife such as kit foxes, burrowing owls and raptors, Sokolsky says.
The observatory builders will use helicopters � not all-terrain vehicles � to install the scintillation detectors, and "we have agreed to maintain them either by foot or by horseback" in places without road access, Sokolsky says. Helicopters will be used if a major problem develops with a detector, but that is expected to be unusual. Scientists also are required to take digital photos when they visit a detector site and monitor any changes over time.
Here is the status of various components of the Telescope Array:

This book was interesting! I took a few tips and added to my everyday life even though I use them techniques anyway!

Harvey provided a very realistic viewpoint that many of my peers found realistic. My son actually is angry with Harvey for sharing too many secrets and too much of the truth. The stories, examples were to the point and his advice was given as if my step-father was talking to me all over again!

Many of us ladies settle and become complacent with a man just to have one. This book really gives some guidlines on what we can so as women to make a man respect you and act right.

A must read for females. This book is written by a man, for women,. To allow women know what to look out for when choosing a date, mate. Straight talk for women. I can not say enough about what I have learned just reading this book. I have passed it on to my daughters and teen grand daughters, all my female friends...

H and I were discussing some tool needs we have recently. We need to replace a trimmer/edger and could really use a leaf blower. Typically we just let the leaves do their own thing as they blow off into the woods, but not this year.
It seems like I've seen a sort of multipurpose tool that has the power source and engine and then several attachments such as a blower and a trimmer and perhaps a hedge cutter. I don't know if I saw this in a store or on TV. I didn't need it at the time so ignored it. I've searched for something like this with no luck. Any suggestions? We would much rather buy and store a single tool rather than 3 or 4. |

I've been doing a little research on the same subject. I know that Stihl, Echo, and Poulan have a number of different multi-tool systems available. Just do a search as follows and it should take you to see what's available: "Echo Pro Attachment Series" "Stihl Multi-task tools" "Poulan Pro attachments" I imagine there are more brands available. |
Its early yet, I do nothing about leaves. Very few are left come first mow in the spring. :) |
Multi tool systems are a fantastic concept. I've looked into them a little, but always stopped when I got into the $$ for a "name brand," e.g. Stihl. I guess the advantage would be only one two cycle engine to keep happy, the disadvantage would be if that engine gets cranky.....:-( I was looking for a leaf blower/vac a while back and was also thinking of replacing the weed eater (Stihl). After looking around, ended up spending a few bucks on the weedeater and purchased a blower/vac (reconditioned full warranty) from Amazon for something like $70 deivered. That was 4 years ago, the reconditioned machine runs great, both my brother and I use it and no problems. Guess there's also the question of how much you'll use the device? Two cycle engines like to be run, and are not as happy sitting idle. Multi tool machine you'd use all spring, summer and fall, where a leaf blower would have limited use and sit idle. Small tillers/cultivators are used in the spring and then sit idle. I've decided to stay with "pupose built" tools as opposed to "one size fits all." Good luck, Ev |
