It's hard to do anything without seeing the board (I got one on the way but it'll be a while), I've started cleaning up my STM8 MultiWii port so that it can also run on STM32, as well as started (nothing commited yet) making it run on OpenPilot hardware. I'm using it's usb as virtual com port, so that's where I'm currently stuck. I suspect if I ignore that part and just do it plain old uart style the 8->32 port shouldn't take long at all. You can probably take the lazy way out and use something like libmaple but there's a lot of hardware-specific stuff in multiwii that doesn't use arduino framework (rx, serial, pwm?) etc so... It might not be a good idea.

Well, paparazzi project at this moment uses STM32, but their hardware cost a lot (more than i can pay - Lisa/M is 250$ with Aspirin IMU, shipped from USA, with tax and shiping it's 380$ here). Of course, sensors (gyro/acc) won't be supported out-of-the-box, but other hardware (at least, init, to do some further debugging) may be possible?
What do You think about? I got no expierence with microcontrollers, but know linux (no kernel hacking/hw, but no problems modifying existing code) and a bit of C. If You think that may be possible to use this board to run paparazzi (with added baro probably) - i go order one... |

This thing only has 64k flash device (STM32F103C8T6), I think something light weight like multiwii is the easiest to get working on it. Paparazzi probably needs a lot more than just sensors on board (but I never looked at their hardware so I dont know).
Dec 16, 2011, 07:36 AM | |
Well, Lisa/M schematics says:
So, IMO only 64K vs 128K minimum flash size (freq, Internal RAM, timers, etc - the same) difference. And because STM32 on this board is surface-mounted, shouldn't be so hard to re-solder (like ppl did with KK board chips)? Would be nice to test one, but with quad-only configuration and no alternate configurations - probably will be useless for me (i have hex/tri) EDIT: checked datasheets again, due to different form-factor wouldn't be easy to swap chips. |
Dec 16, 2011, 07:53 AM | ||
from what you know, is porting openpilot to this Ff board a probable task? |

If you rip out USB stuff and manage to make it fit into 64k etc, it might just work.
maybe something like movecopter branch of OP would be an easy target to fit to this board since I believe it uses a bunch of i2c sensors. (hm, just checked - or not - only mag is i2c). |
Dec 16, 2011, 09:30 AM | |
Ordered one anyway. Will try to put some code from other autopilots if possible.
A bit offtopic - i probably need something more than FTDI cable to debug (and usbasp won't work here anyway)? Ebay search on "srm32 dev" shows many devices with TFT screen, but that's for developing new equipment. Do i need some advanced cable (or JTAG pins are allways available)? EDIT: or equipment like this one? Pricey ;-) |

You can get JLINK-EDU for around ~$60. You can get a STM32VLDiscovery or STM32F4Discovery boards for < $20 and use the STLink or STLinkV2 debugger that's part of them to develop. However, until I (or someone who knows what they're doing) gets one of these boards and traces the signals to make sure jtag or at least swd interface is actually available externally, I wouldn't rush out to buy any tools. If debugging the board means soldering wires to 0.5mm pitch tqfp, I won't bother with it. If you don't care to actually debug and just want to flash some software, it should support serial bootloader and you can just load some pre-built hex file from others.

Soldering small pins shouldn't be a problem, but maybe i can get away with serial connection. |

Has anyone seen a Tramp Stamp (made by Clown Shoes in MA) clone? This is a highly hopped Belgian style - truly fantastic.

Pope Francis is known for shaking things up in the Catholic church. But few people saw it coming when he noted in a May homily that he'd be more than happy to baptize Martians if they asked for it.
(huffPost) For more than a century, scientists have been scratching their heads over a strange clocklike device recovered from a shipwreck off the Greek island of Antikythera in 1901.
The so-called Antikythera Mechanism is made up of a series of bronze gears and is believed to have been used to predict eclipses and the positions of the planets and to track the dates of the Olympics.
Still, scientists have continued to debate when the "world's first computer" was made--and who made it.
A 2006 study dated the device to 150-100 B.C. But a new analysis of the mechanism's eclipse-tracking dial by scientists at the University of Puget Sound in Washington and the National University of Quilmes in Argentina indicates that the device's built-in calendar likely began at 205 B.C.

"WASHINGTON (AP) — For years, Kurdish officials have beseeched the Obama administration to let them buy U.S. weapons. For just as long, the administration has rebuffed America's closest allies in Iraq.
U.S. officials insisted they could only sell arms to the government in Baghdad, even after Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki broke a written promise to deliver some of them to the Kurds. Their peaceful, semi-autonomous northern region had been the lone success story to come out of the 2003 U.S. invasion.
Now, the administration is confronting the consequences of that policy."

I first thought it might be a meteorite, but the trajectory and sameness of a flight path quickly dispelled that idea. I knew that this was not space debris as the object had a clearly defined shape, although its edges were in constant transmutation, but not severely so. Very odd. Lost sight of it as it went behind some trees, but We quickly got back into the car and turned northward to see it, but nothing there."2

Next-Gen's Aaron Ruby editorializes that the ESRB needs major change, saying that the rating system has too many confusing options that are best suited to movies instead of games. (Is there a clear difference between "mild violence," "intense violence," and "violence?" Is it measured in volume?) The site follows up with Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley's response, saying that Next-Gen got part of it right -- the game industry needs to be proactive and speak for itself.
Ruby and Smedley agree that the ESRB doesn't do enough to educate parents and non-gamers about games. We've seen the Penny Arcade ESRB campaign in PC Gamer and other enthusiast magazines, but we want to find ESRB ads in mainstream publications and on prime-time TV. As Smedley notes, the game industry needs to speak for itself if it doesn't want the Jack Thompsons to speak for it.

I've had the phone and armor on it for several months now. I'd have to say, it was really not worth the money. After getting the phone done, the edges around the phone didn't feel right in the hand, you could feel the edges the plastic added and it wasn't pleasant. I remedied this with a simple rubber case, almost defeating the purpose of most of the ghost armor.
Today I decided to just take the armor off after having it on for roughly 3-4 months. The screen had began to get little bubbles in it in some places that was sort of annoying, also I sometimes didn't want to have a case on, and the phone as I said before was uncomfortable.
One thing they advertise when you purchase the ghost armor is it reduces the grease your fingers leave on the screen and make it much easier to remove. I experienced the complete opposite, the ghost armor seemed to almost attract even more grease and made it more difficult to "degrease" the screen. The bare screen works much better, it doesn't attract much grease and it's easier to clean.
I also noticed on the screen that were vertical lines in the plastic running over the screen, which was very noticeable when browsing a website or anything that was white. The final thing I noticed is it decreased the sensitivity of the screen. I had to more effort in making sure my fingers touched down on the screen for it to register, I also think it caused to my capacitive buttons on the back to go all out of whack as well.
Overall I would highly suggested not buying Ghost Armor. It's extremely overpriced and I had very many problems with it. I found no other reviews for the Samsung Captivate specifically on this site (or anywhere really), so I thought I'd throw up a quick review. Sorry I took no pictures, I never really thought about it.

From another thread:
Personal liberty/freedom is "the freedom of a person to come and go as he or she pleases without unwarranted restraint." Or in other words, the right to a fair trial. The freedom from unwarrented search and sezures. The right to travel (inside the country) without restriction.Quote:

Or in other words, it's not a war on personal freedoms. It's not even a war on civil liberties since those liberties don't exist. It is a war by people trying to recreate new civil liberties vs those trying to enforce existing civil laws. The question is whether the ones who don't want new laws, or the ones that do, will win.
So what do you think of civil liberty?
Is it unalianable.
Does it have to be codified to be applied legally?
Are they worth fighting for. Why and which ones?
Some links:
liberty, term used to describe various types of individual freedom, such as religious liberty, political liberty, freedom of speech, right of self-defense, and others. It is also used as a general term for the sum of specific liberties. Fundamental perhaps is personal liberty, the freedom of a person to come and go as he or she pleases without unwarranted restraint.
A short and long definition from Websters as well as the definition above.
Freedom, Liberty and The Right of Rebellion
An opinion piece from an interesting site. Include a definition on "The Code of Honour". (Some of you might realy like him.)
Freedom and Government:
True freedom involves the free giving of personal allegiance, with such allegiance being given on a person's word of honour. Such a giving of personal allegiance, and the principle of personal honour, defined as personal honour is through a Code of Honour, are the basis for liberty and dignity: an expression of the civilized way of life. Personal honour is thus the criteria for judgement: the basis of what is fair and just.

News of the Dentons – Dacheng deal was announced this week and I was asked to provide my comments in the attached Globe & Mail article. This merger creates the largest law firm in the world by head count at over 6,500 lawyers and will have major ramifications for all global and Canadian law firms operating in China on inbound or outbound deals. In my opinion Dentons has scored a tremendous coup here. The Verein structure has been used by other global law firms before but this deal takes it to another level. In one fell swoop, Dentons has beaten other global law firms and accounting firms such as PwC to the punch for China-related legal work using the same verein structure the accounting firms used to such potent effect in building their own global entities. Here's another article on the deal in the American Lawyer that provides further background.
Predictions for the Legal Industry in 2015
Here's a round-up of predictions for the legal industry in 2015 from some of the top thought leaders in the business:
10 major trends impacting Canadian law firms in 2015
Global firms such as Norton Rose and Dentons have moved into Canada and more are on the way. They have swallowed up mid-tier law firms such as Macleod Dixon, Fraser Milner and Ogilvy Renault. Heenan Blaikie is another casualty of the competition being created by these global giants as corporate and securities deals now have more major players vying for fewer deals. These global mergers also create breakoffs of groups of partners who don't want to be part of a worldwide firm run from New York, London or Brussels. This creates opportunities for small and midsize firms to absorb these disaffected partners, with their institutional clients, which are greatly desired by small firms, and can be run profitably from a smaller, more efficient platform.
Since the financial crisis of 2008, clients are demanding fee discounts of 10% to 50%. They are under pressure from their CEO's to cut their legal costs and discounts are the easiest way to accomplish that.
Clients are also pushing for alternative billing as they want fixed fees and some certainty on their legal costs and as a result firms must focus on becoming more efficient.
There's also a rise of innovative NewLaw business model firms providing legal services with much lower overheads, up to 50% lower than large firms and they are stealing work away from large firms because their charge-out rates and fixed fees are also up to half as much as large firms. This puts a lot of strain on maintaining realization rates and profitability in an increasingly competitive legal market environment.
Legal services are increasingly being commoditized in line with the competition created by more players in the legal market, and more lawyers are being pumped out of law schools that aren't needed to meet the demand. Clients realize that often lawyers aren't needed to do many simpler legal tasks, and they're pushing for work to be outsourced to other cheaper jurisdictions or countries, or pushed down to paralegals, contract lawyers or outsourced general counsel to be done more cost-effectively. The mystique of law firms being the only ones who can do legal work is fast fading. There are many other non-law firm competitors in the legal industry now.
Realization rates are dropping. In the Georgetown Law 2014 Report on the State of Legal Market the average overall realization rate in 2014 was 83.5%, which was down 8% from the 92 percent rate reported in 2007, so that's a big drop in realization over the past seven years. Clients are rebelling against law firms' steady increase in their charge-out rates over the past decade, and they're fed up and just will not take it anymore. Large firms have increased their charge-out rates much more than small and midsize firms, so that's another opportunity for small and midsize firms to steal clients away from large firms.
Technology focus – LegalZoom and other automated legal service providers are quickly picking up market share and commoditizing most routine legal forms and documents. Law firms are automating more of their predecents and routine legal documents to increase their efficiency for fixed fee quoted commodity work.
Client focus is a term you're hearing more and more, as clients demand that law firms think about client needs and profitability, not just their own. Clients want law firms to focus on their KPIs and their strategic goals.
Finally, mid-tier law firms are under continuing cost pressures as global firms are pushing hard from the top and NewLaw firms are nipping them from underneath. Mid-tier firms such as Heenan Blaikie, Macleod Dixon and Ogilvy Renault didn't have the sophisticated management structure or the resources needed to compete with the global firms, and the NewLaw firms have cut their overheads in half. So mid-tier firms are increasingly in a Catch-22 situation, with nowhere to run. They will either be swallowed up or blown up, unless they change their business models. Again, here's another opportunity for small firms and midsize firms under 50 lawyers to steal clients away from their larger counterparts and hold the NewLaw firms at bay by reducing their overheads and updating their business models.

While de-icing my car this morning, I was listening to the radio. The announcer said that we are expecting more snow in London this week. The news sent shivers down my spine but not for the reason you may think. As if the ice on the road and pedestrians jumping in front of moving cars isn't bad enough, we may have a new problem to deal with: it seems that LED traffic lights may have a problem dealing … Read More

I'm the first to admit that I'm no Julia Child – but from time to time I get the baking bug … especially around the holidays. I love the smell of holiday baking… cinnamon and cloves and mix them in with the smell of a live Christmas tree … divine. Unfortunately holiday baking is a bit of a hassle because I have to keep a keen watch over the goodies in the oven and turn them around to make sure they … Read More

Flow field around an F1 car. Image courtesy of Voxdale. For the past few days, I've been on the road. Flying to the States is always an adventure … especially during late fall. Air turbulence isn't much fun – somehow the flight always gets the bumpiest when they serve drinks/food. Go figure. Anyway, during this last flight, I sat next to the window. The flight from San Francisco to Portland was perfectly … Read More
During a recent phone call with one of my favorite reporters, we talked about the difference between easy-to-use and dumbed-down software. We went on to talk about why easy to use CFD software doesn't' mean that it has been dumbed down — after all, easy to use software can still be very powerful. But ease-of-use has gotten a bad rap out there. Some people assume that because a software tool is easy … Read More
When budgets are tight most managers think about the same thing before they sign on the dotted line: is this new tool going to help us get more done faster/better/smarter? If the answer is no then like most managers I don't make the investment. Instead I focus on an activity that's going to give me the best return on investment (ROI). That's why last week I talked about time compression being … Read More

I'm rather proud of our products so whenever I speak with people I have a tendency to talk about features and functions… the juicy stuff. So it's easy to forget that one of the main benefits of simulation is time compression. In the not too distant past, most companies used to do analysis only after the physical prototyping phase. The design team would create a cool design, the proposed design would … Read More

The smoke was visible even in Santa Monica. If you've been wondering why I've been so quiet for the past couple of weeks, the answer is simple: I'd gone to Southern California to visit my family. Because LA was experiencing a heatwave (the wildfires weren't helping much either), I spent a fair amount of my time at the beach. As I sat there with my toes dipped in the Pacific ocean, I had a fair amount … Read More
From time to time I lurk around CFD related forums – just to see what people are talking about. A couple of weeks ago I found a posting on the subtleties of meshing and its relation to accuracy. The discussion rapidly became quite heated – there were some folks who believed that unless simulation gives you 100% accuracy then it is useless while others didn't believe that accuracy is the only factor … Read More
Cuba Gooding Jr's conversation with Tom Cruise in Jerry McGuire became the mantra of a whole generation. Show _me_ the money.

Can we cut the budget without sacrificing quality? And let's not forget … Read More

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Market Restaurant Review: Market, located in the sleek W Boston, goes way beyond the traditional hotel restaurant, playing on the concept of "hotel as home." Moreover, the food dances on the edge of adventurousness without being off-putting. The bright, open dining area resembles a comfortable living room, and features a tasting menu with wine pairing, "simply cooked" seafood and chops, and specialty dishes like slow-cooked salmon with cherry tomatoes and crispy rice in a miso-yuzu broth. A pre-theatre three-course menu is also available. We enjoy the peppier lounge offerings, like salmon tartare and a grilled cheese with black truffle and Fontina. Finish by indulging in the salted caramel ice cream sundae topped with peanuts, popcorn and chocolate sauce. There's a simple cocktail list and house-made sodas, perfect for sipping near the smoldering indoor fire pit. |

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Chevrolet Volt
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 6.6
With its unique Voltec propulsion system that combines a powerful electric motor and an internal-combustion engine/generator, the 2011 Chevrolet Volt establishes a new class of high-efficiency/low-emission production car that overcomes the single most critical real-world shortcoming of pure electric models: Range anxiety. This stylish four-door compact hatch can travel an average of 35 miles on pure electric power from a Lithium-ion battery pack before its gasoline-fueled "range extender" transparently kicks in to directly generate electric power for another 344 miles. Loaded with technology and creature comforts, Chevy is betting the Volt will outpoint its eco-oriented challengers in the Great Green Derby – especially the equally new Nissan LEAF EV and the reigning conventional hybrid champ, the Toyota Prius.
If you are intrigued by the idea of an electric car but feel like their limited mileage range won't fit your needs, the extended-range 2011 Chevy Volt is a perfect compromise between the EV you want and the gasoline-powered vehicle that more practically fits into your daily routine.
Even sweetened with potential federal and state tax advantages, the 2011 Chevy Volt remains a relatively pricey pick and enjoying the full benefits of its green potential will require recharging it regularly. For some, alternatives like the Nissan LEAF EV, Toyota Prius Hybrid, Volkswagen Golf TDI or even a Honda Fit may make more bottom-line sense.
Beyond eliminating the dreaded range anxiety limitation that impacts all pure electric vehicles, the Volt's "Voltec" propulsion system will serve as the basis for a number of other General Motors extended-range vehicle offerings in the coming years.
Driving Impressions Built on a bespoke version of GM's global small car architecture that also underpins the Chevy Cruze, the Volt offers a decidedly conventional basic driving experience overlaid with a few...
unique Voltec-specific wrinkles. The biggest difference can be felt in the immediate torque provided by its electric motor as well as the complete (or relative) absence of engine noise in its well-isolated passenger compartment. The Volt's well-tuned suspension is ably complemented by quick and decently-weighted energy-saving electric power steering while super-efficient regenerative circuitry on its four-wheel disc brakes is noticeable but far from intrusive. Transitioning from pure-electric to range-extended mode is virtually transparent save for a faint engine sound accompanied by a dash icon that changes from a battery to a fuel pump. Although the EPA estimates that you'll see about 35 miles of electric range, how you drive, interior climate settings and road conditions do make a difference. In fact, trying to keep the car in EV mode is part of the fun of driving the Volt - almost like trying to top your best score at Pac-Man.Delayed Start and Departure Time Mode
Using information supplied by your local electricity provider, the Volt can be programmed to commence recharging its battery pack when rates are at their lowest to help save money. Tell it when you plan to leave in the morning or evening, and it will automatically schedule the charging process to ensure that the battery is full in time for your commute.
Volt Smartphone App
Have a smartphone? By utilizing the OnStar MyLink app, you can check your Volt's battery level, tire pressure, available electric range, lock/unlock the doors and even start the A/C system so the interior is at a comfortable level when you're ready to leave. You can even control the Volt's charging rate from your phone and get a text or an e-mail when the battery is topped off.
The interior of the 2011 Chevy Volt echoes the car's futuristic vibe. The center stack is covered in touch-sensitive controls for the audio and climate control systems instead of buttons and knobs. In place of gauges, two seven-inch LCD screens - one mounted in the gauge cluster and another in the center of the dash – display vehicle speed, battery state of charge, electric range, fuel level and driving efficiency. Black cloth seats and white interior accents come standard, but leather seats are available with green, black or light gold-colored accents. The 5.5-foot, 435-pound, T-shaped battery that's nestled underneath the center of the vehicle makes having a bench seat in the back row impossible, but the end result is two buckets that are quite comfortable - once you get situated in them. Thanks to the aerodynamic sloping roofline, rear seat ingress and egress are not exactly the Volt's strongest points.
ExteriorTo optimize its total operating efficiency, the Volt's exterior design team spared no effort in creating a shape that could slice through the air with the greatest of ease. Every element, from its rounded front fascia, closed-off grille and aggressively raked windshield to the crisp trailing edges on its rear fenders and a functional hatch spoiler were meticulously matched to yield the most aerodynamic production that GM has ever created. To wring the most extra miles-per-gallon out of the vehicle's design, the Volt rolls on 17-inch Goodyear Fuel Max low-rolling resistance lightweight wheels, which weigh 17.8 pounds each.
In base form, the 2011 Chevrolet Volt comes with a more comprehensive feature set than any other Chevy currently on the market. It's also the recipient of all of Chevy's latest and greatest technology and features, including touch-sensitive climate, audio and drive controls, an energy-saving Bose sound system (it's 40 percent lighter and uses 50 percent less energy than a conventional sound system) and an eight-year 100,000-mile warranty on its battery pack and associated electrics. You'll also get standard navigation, a 60 MB hard drive with 30 MB of space for music, five years of OnStar and USB connectivity.
It's hard to call an options list a list when there are only two on offer: a Premium Trim Package and Rear Camera and Park Assist Package. The Premium Trim Package adds heated front seats, leather seating surfaces and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, while the Rear Camera and Park Assist Package includes - as you'd expect - a rear-view camera and front/rear parking sensors. If you're going to spring for any options on the Volt, we'd recommend the park assist package; the Volt's low-slung and very easily scraped front air dam makes parking sensors particularly helpful when you're not quite sure where the curb starts. Finally, bling fans can choose to have their Volt's aluminum wheels done in a bright-polished rather than the standard satin finish.
The 2011 Chevrolet Volt's propulsion system consists of an electric drive unit that makes 149 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque, a 16kWh liquid-cooled Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack and a 1.4-liter/84-horsepower in-line four internal-combustion "range-extender." The latter takes over when battery charge decreases to a certain level – normally after 25-50 miles of driving – and generates on-the-fly electricity for another 344 miles. Replenishing the battery pack takes 10-12 hours using a standard 110V outlet or three-four on a 240V dedicated unit. The Volt has three operating modes. "Normal" is the most efficient, "Sport" provides more direct accelerator response and "Mountain," which requires 10-15 minutes of advance engagement but optimizes the battery to cope with increased energy demands caused by extended steep grades. The Volt has earned a 93 MPGe (miles-per-gallon equivalent) combined city/highway EPA rating in pure EV mode and returns 37 mpg when the range-extender kicks in.

Review this carBy volt lover on Sunday, January 25, 2015
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 25,100
overall rating 10 of 10rating detailsPros: "fun to drive, fun to own"
Cons: "4 seats biggest and only down fall"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"It is a drivers car. it handles like a sports car, yet easy to drive. I find the seats very comfortable, some find them too firm. The car is responsive and easy to handle. It has cool features of a high end car, yet is affordable. The price is a little high for most, but if you add the gas savings into the monthly payments, it worked out 52.00 better a month for me. I would recommend this car to the energy minded and the complete opposite minded, this is one car that anyone can agree with."

"I've been driving for several decades and I suffer from Goldilocks syndrome, finding a vehicle I look forward to driving daily. I like the ability to solar charge my car at home while none of the range anxiety the pure electrics produce. It is a pleasure to drive, has the perfect blend of form and function. I haven't owned a GM vehicle in nearly 35 years, this brought me back. Amazing car, hope they make an CUV or SUV soon."

"I had no intention of buying this car till I drove one. I had seen a few of them but they never really appealed to me so didn't consider them to be "my" type of car, and I've had a lot of new cars. Why Chevy doesn't promote this car more is a mystery to me. I can honestly say after 6 months and 2,500 I am more impressed with it each time I get in and out it. Have Nav with backup camera, Bose, rear park sensors, leather, heated seats and chrome wheels and more. This car has rock solid build quality, good driving/ riding qualities, and is really a technological marvel. I lucked out and bought at a time when they offered no interest for 72 mos. and with the federal and stated tax credits, well that was "icing on the cake". Love the smart phone app which allows status notifications of charging,tire pressures miles driven and other things. Standard remote start is great in the cold weather. I think the people at Chevy thought of just about everything to make this an outstanding vehicle. Still waiting to give the car a test in the fairly heavy snow but talk on the forums is positive."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 13,500

Cons: "lack of 5th seat"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"When I replaced by 15 year old commuter car with the Chevy Volt, cost saving was not a factor at all. I purchased the Chevy Volt because it was a technology marvel and perfectly suites my requirements. Now, more than a year later, I could not be happier with my purchase. There is absolutely no buyers remorse. How could you - when the car went 13500 miles on just 12.5 gallons of gasoline and about $400 in electricity? And maintenance? I rotated the tires at 7500 miles (free by dealer). I still have 35% oil life remaining. And as per the manual, I don't have to do any other maintenance (except tire rotations) for the next 30,000 or so miles! The car is fun to drive. Its not a sports car (0 to 60 in 8 seconds) but in local traffic, I can be far ahead of other cards because of the silent 150hp + 280 lb-ft instant electric torque. Many people think the battery is expensive and needs to be replaced every 3 years but the car comes with 8 year/a 100K mile traction battery warranty. In fact, all the electric drive components carry the same warranty! And battery technology 8 years (should the need to replace arise - its not like the battery will just die after 8 years!) will be much better to what it is today. And batteries will also be a lot cheaper 8 years from now. The only limitation I see in the volt is the lack of a 5th seat. Otherwise, this is the best electric/hybrid you can get."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 98,500
overall rating 9 of 10rating detailsPros: "great refinement solid engineer with 2 exceptions"
Cons: "91 octane required and nav system"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"We're coming from a Toyota matrix and quality is far improved with this car. We bought this used and have only had for a month so we'll see over time how the battery does. I couldn't get a Prius or any other hybrid currently on the market- the Prius and all other hybrids use the infamous CVT transmission my transmission mechanic said $8000 for any Prius with a bad transmission when our conventional Durango cost us $2500. for tranny overhaul. The volt stands alone as an electric car with gas range extender- their is a tranny- it is 1 speed direct drive with a digital clutch so much more efficient and simpler to repair than any other PHEV. The main drawbacks here are required 91octane (I called volt and asked if 87 octane is OK and they claim 87 is fine but watch for pinging. The car pinged immediately sounds like a tin can filled with rocks. Went back to 91 and engine quiet again). The only other issue is the navigation. We have a garmin and it is far better. I know the 2016 volt burns 87 octane and hopefully they fix the nav too. Overall this is a tight, highly refined Vehicle with potential for very high gas mileage around 200 mpg if always plugged in. We get about 58 mpg since we live out of town which is fantastic mileage. I can also go get the mail or drive around our 6 acre farm fuel free after plugging this in. It's a great car high recommendation."

Cons: "Pure 4 seater, remember to recharge"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"This 2014 model is my second Volt. I have driven more than 900 miles so far and used 1.0 gal of gas. Just like my cell phone, I can drive all day, and then plug it into a regular 110V outlet at night and it's ready to go again in the morning. If your battery ever runs down, the gas powered range extender kicks in and makes more electricity! You can go another 350 miles or so, and then either recharge, or just put more gas in. Ultra modern electronics inside, and great acceleration when you hit the "go" pedal."

Democrats and Gun Control By Carl Matthes Carl Matthes: Since the Democrats aren't fighting for gun controls, I suggest they become head cheerleaders for gun proliferation. Outflank the Republicans and make the case that America needs more than the 350,000,000 guns the FBI estimates is currently available.

The explosion of connected devices / sensors is creating an ever-expanding set of new and valuable data. In parallel the emerging capability of Big Data technologies to store, access, analyze, and react to this data is producing changes in business models under the umbrella of the Internet of Things (IoT). In particular within the Insurance industry, IoT appears positioned to enable deep changes by altering relationships between insurers, distributors, and the insured.

But industrial and commercial realms encompass operational technology (OT) that has been around for 25 or 50 years.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

By Pat Romanski The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas.

By Elizabeth White The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly in the process of breaking from its heretofore relatively obscure enterprise applications (such as plant floor control and supply chain management) and going mainstream into the consumer space. More and more creative folks are interconnecting everyday products such as household items, mobile devices, appliances and cars, and unleashing new and imaginative scenarios. We are seeing a lot of excitement around applications in home automation, personal fitness, and in-car entertainment and this excitement will bleed into other areas. On the commercial side, m...

Nicely research and well written. Even though I've been following the races for 30+ years, there was some history I wasn't aware of.
Thanks everyone. As soon as I saw what the Clays were doing at their farm and their love for their horses, I just had to share their story. I'm glad everyone enjoyed reading it.
Welcome to the HRN family, Fred! I smiled when you mentioned Shannon Ritter, I knew her when she worked for Elliott Walden, just before she went out on her own as a trainer. Your expertise as a trainer is a welcome addition to HRN!

Your welcome Ann Maree. The stakes can put the 2YO championships into perspective and maybe give us one or two to watch for next year.
Lucky Player is on the list, but not the other two, as they are maiden winners. I'll have another year-end article reviewing SW and SP runners, so if Holy Boss and Handy Candy win again, they could be on the list! I would post maidens, but there are so many of them and only one of me!
Thanks Andy!
If you note in the beginning of the article, this is Part 1 of a 3 part series. Part 1 focuses on stakes horses at Saratoga. Lucky Player didn't compete at Saratoga. He will be mentioned in Part 3 on Friday. Part 2 will be available on Wednesday.
Thanks for the comment, Josh. Doesn't everyone know that when someone publicly states that a horse has no shot - that horse is the automatic winner? In my private handicapping, I like to use the morning work reports to make my decisions, however, we have a time schedule to get the articles posted. Not making an excuse, just stating that morning works may look good on paper, but in if the horse is laboring to get that bullet time, maybe it wasn't so great after all. In retrospect, American Pharaoh and Calculator had the best work reports going into the field. But once the post is made, we can't change it. In private handicapping, how many times do we get to change our minds?

Manchester United 0 Liverpool 3: Steven Gerrard says Liverpool were 'upset' after Old Trafford win, because 'we didn't score more goals'
Midfielder scored two penalties as Liverpool dominated at Old Trafford
Two Steven Gerrard penalties helped Liverpool to a crushing 3-0 victory at bitter rivals Manchester United on Sunday to leave them breathing down the necks of Premier League leaders Chelsea.
Gerrard's strikes either side of halftime put the visitors in control and Luis Suarez sealed only Liverpool's second win at Old Trafford in nearly 10 years with a well-taken third.
Skipper Gerrard could have completed a rare hat-trick of spot kicks but struck the foot of the post after Nemanja Vidic was red-carded for tripping Daniel Sturridge shortly before Suarez completed the rout.
With nine matches remaining to Chelsea's eight, Liverpool's run of five consecutive league wins has left them four points behind Jose Mourinho's side who were beaten 1-0 at Aston Villa on Saturday having had two men sent off.
Liverpool, seeking a first English title since 1990, could have won by an even bigger margin as they underlined the incredible turnaround in fortunes for English's football's two great north west rivals.
They ended last season 28 points behind champions United, who managed one shot on target on Sunday, but are now 14 clear of David Moyes' side who now look almost certain to finish outside the Premier League's top four for the first time.
"I got a bit cocky with the third penalty," Gerrard told Sky Sports. "I've come here many times and been played off the park and but to come here and dominate like we did, we're even a bit upset we didn't get more goals.
Steven Gerrard is congratulated by his team-mates (GETTY) "I don't think their defence has ever had a more difficult 90 minutes."
Gerrard's first penalty after 33 minutes followed a deliberate handball by Rafael that could have earned the defender a second yellow card, while his second shortly after the break was for a clumsy Phil Jones challenge on Joe Allen.
Luis Suarez celebrates Liverpool's third (GETTY) United's day went from bad to worse when Vidic sent Sturridge sprawling in the area with a lunging tackle and though Gerrard could not beat David de Gea again Suarez's neat finish after 84 minutes capped a dazzling Liverpool display.
Vidic, who is joining Inter Milan at the end of the season, now has four red cards against Liverpool in his United career, more than any other player against one opponent in the history of the Premier League.
United's ninth defeat of the season, a new record for the club in the Premier League, left them languishing in seventh place with 48 points, 11 adrift of fourth-placed Arsenal who are in action later on Sunday at London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
