Taking Technology to Extremes
Published: June 5, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
Since it is all ocean, the North Pole has no hills to get in the way of Iridium signals, but the shifting ice means that visitors had better be prepared to get their gear wet. And the sub-zero cold in March and April -- the only time there is light but the ice is not yet breaking up under the summer sun -- quickly drains batteries and freezes liquid-crystal displays.
Even G.P.S. becomes virtually useless right at the pole, where all longitudes converge. A single step can take one from the longitude of, say, Paris, to that of Honolulu.
Still, the advent of packages of software and hardware adapted to these extremes has eased the way for a substantial expansion of extreme trekking.
Knowing your location and being able to communicate are just the basics. Contact 2.0, the software developed by the Sjogrens, allows Mr. Saunders and others like him, whether on floating ice or the flanks of Everest, to send images, video clips and text directly to their Web pages. There is no need for a Webmaster or other intermediary to receive an e-mail message or attachment.
The Sjogrens said the need for this kind of automation became apparent during a recent Everest expedition when their Webmaster went on vacation just as they were approaching the summit.
While getting to know Everest in the late 1990's, they had also noted that the companies leading the big professional expeditions did not share weather forecasts with small groups like theirs, Ms. Sjogren said.
Now, Explorersweb provides text-message alerts to climbers' satellite phones, using precise Himalayas forecasts supplied by the Swedish government and a private forecasting service.
On Everest and in Antarctica, the Sjogrens have experimented with wireless systems that could eventually allow individual climbers to transmit images and their positions to a base camp and then onto the Web.
Mr. Sjogren said the Defense Department and firefighting groups were tracking their work with the idea that such methods might be adapted to reduce accidental troop casualties or to track emergency workers in buildings or in dense smoke.
Other options allow the outside world to track a trekker's movements. An explorer might, for example, take along a small transmitter like those used to monitor the migrations of rare wildlife, from elephant seals off Patagonia to the reclusive forest elephants of the Congo basin.
A French company, CLS, uses satellite networks to monitor the position and condition of explorers carrying the device. The version used by adventurers can send 10 different signals and, with prearranged codes, alert a support team to changing conditions.
Pen Hadow, a veteran Arctic guide and mentor to Mr. Saunders, had such a transmitter with him when a small airplane plucked him from the rapidly warming and cracking North Pole ice on May 27.
Mr. Hadow had finished what apparently was the first solo unaided trek from North America to the Pole but had then been stranded there for more than a week, his rations dwindling as foul weather prevented any flying.
Long after the last battery for his Iridium telephone died, satellites could still pinpoint his position every 20 minutes, and he was able to continue sending coded messages indicating his condition.
The last code he sent was the number 5, which -- in understated British fashion -- encouraged his support team to prevent him from starving by conveying simply that he was ''contemplating resupply.''
Even with the best technology, though, life at the planet's edges will not lose its hazards anytime soon.
Although Mr. Hadow's drifting position was known and satellite images on government Web sites provided frequent updates on storm fronts and ice cracks, the plane could not land to retrieve him until dense polar clouds slowly moved on.
Basic Training
Dispatch From an Ice Floe: Send Tape, Skip the Pens
NOTEBOOK computers, digital cameras and satellite telephones are enabling journalists to do what was inconceivable just a few years ago: transmit stories and images from the world's last untamed edges.
But global connectedness still has limits, and they are perhaps nowhere more evident than on the floating ice near the North Pole.
During a recent three-day stay there at several encampments serving tourists and scientists, this reporter learned the art of practicing journalism at 15 degrees below zero.
First, the basics: Bring pencils, not pens. Ink freezes. Bring lots of pocket warmers, little yellow sacks of carbon and other ingredients that heat up for hours when exposed to air. These are not just for fending off frostbite, but also for sustaining battery-powered devices.
And of course bring tape, every kind of tape -- electrical, duct, and the like -- to fix the things that break (they will break) and to attach those pocket warmers to the back of a camera, the side of a microphone, the bottom of a laptop.
Satellite telephony still has significant limits. The signals travel in a straight line, so getting the antenna right is essential. There are sometimes excruciating gaps while the transmission jumps from one satellite to the next.
Tension mounts if you are in the habit of watching the rise and fall of the little glowing bars on your notebook screen that show the data flow during the transmission of a big file. Halfway through the 30- or 40-minute process of sending a picture, it is not uncommon to see the bars disappear altogether, a moment not unlike the point in an ''E.R.'' episode when a patient's vital signs sag to critical. Indeed, the speed of sending data over a satellite phone will take you back to the early days of home computing.
Despite the constraints, there remains a sense of wonder at the ability to link, however tenuously, the last frontiers on a fast-shrinking planet.
And there is some pleasure in the realization that despite all the gadgetry, frontiers still exist. ANDREW C. REVKIN

Microlab SOLO6C Powered Stereo Speakers Review - Technical OverviewToday we have some very slick stereo speakers from Microlab in house. Claiming proper Hi-Fi performance, let's take a look and see for ourselves.
Technical Overview
Output power: 100 Watt RMS
Power distribution: 50 Watt x 2
Harmonic distortion: < 0.3% 1W 1kHz
Frequency response: 55Hz - 20kHz
Signal/Noise ratio: > 85dB
Separation: > 55dB
Input sensitivity: 440mV
Nominal impedance: 4 ohm
Tweeter driver type: 1"
Tweeter rated power: 10 Watt 6 ohm
Bass driver type: 6.5"
Bass rated power: 30 Watt
Frequency range: 55Hz - 20kHz
Output: Terminals
Input: 2RCA
Aux input: 2RCA
Product dimension: 210 x 270 x 361mm
Product net weight: 13.70kg
Taking a quick glance over the numbers and things look pretty good to start out. There's a decent power delivery figure of 50 watts RMS to each of the speakers and the choice of a large 6.5" driver which is well complemented by a 1" silk dome tweeter.
The amplifier does not claim any special feats, with numbers being about where they should be for THD, S/N ratio and frequency response. However, we know well enough that these numbers will only represent a fraction of how it sounds to our ears and also the way it talks with the drivers chosen in the speakers.
On paper we like how the SOLO6C comes across, at least initially things do seem to be in order. However, there is something we have not mentioned yet, which we thought particularly impressive; that being the enlisting of a master of sorts. Now let's explain with a quote.
Microlab is where it is today because of its special partnership with world-renowned audio specialist and Denmark-native Peter Larsen. One-time Chief Engineer for speaker powerhouse Vifa-Speak and consultant to both Dynaudio and JBL, Larsen's influence can be heard in the highest quality sound systems available in the world today.
Larsen's role at Microlab--Chief Consultant--allowed him the opportunity to design for us a speaker driver considered by many to be the very best in the industry. Peter's unique perspective and input have allowed Microlab to create and deliver state-of-the-art sound systems at everyday, affordable prices. Perfect sounds for everyone.
Now, we think this move was a pretty smart one and not just because it aided in producing a better product, but because it provides something that is so sorely lacking from these new manufacturer reputations. And that is simply, credibility. It's precisely this that gives the big speaker companies big sales every year and Microlab figured this out.
Now that we know that the engineering side of things has been seen to, it's really going to come down to the quality of materials selected by Microlab that either make or break how this system really sounds.
Aside from huge reputations, the largest speaker manufacturers in the world use only the very highest quality materials to ensure the strictest of linear frequency response curves. And like it or not, these materials cost an absolute truck load to buy, which is why the best loudspeakers cost so much in the shops.

Demolition of Chase City's Leggett building delayed
SoVaNow.com / November 13, 2013
The demolition of the old Leggett building in Chase City, at the corner of Main and Second Streets, is still on hold while the town awaits instructions from the Virginia Department of Transportation on how traffic should be rerouted during the demolition process.
As of Tuesday morning, Chase City Town Manager Ricky Reese said he had still heard no word from officials at VDOT. He speculated that they may wait until after the town finishes work on a railroad crossing and storm water control ditch on West Sycamore Street, since the likely detour route will use West Sycamore.
Because of their size and weight, "You can't send these transfer trucks down just any street," explained Reese.
The expected completion date for the crossing and storm water project is Dec. 3, weather permitting. Reese expects the town will be able to reroute traffic off Main Street shortly thereafter, so demolition of the Leggett building can begin. The demotion became inevitable after the roof to the building collapsed in August. The building is owned by Mohammed and Sahar Ghanem, proprietors of Gino's Restaurant next door.
Reese said the county building inspector has looked at the building, and he appears confident that it is stable, and there is no fear of anything falling on passersby.
Calls to Billy Smith, VDOT's chief engineer for this area, were not returned.

| Aaron chapter 1 . 6/14/2008
Great part, interesting to see how much has changed when Xander left, and what happened to the scoobies when he returned for a visit. I wonder who's on the titans with Xander. and since he's Ollie's partner, I wonder if he met Roy, or Connor, and of course in the DC comics Ollie's now married to his on again/off again girlfriend Black Canary. Not to mention there's a new speedy out there. I love to see how Xander reacts to all that not to mention Roy's now in the Justice League. and it will be 2 years when Willow and Xander talk again. It had to be something big to stop Xander and Willow from talking and what Willow said and the repucussions from that will do it. Love to see what happens next. keep it up
| thundever1 chapter 2 . 6/14/2008
Great chap, brilliant interactions and characterisations, will we see the other titans?, please update soon good for Xander continuing to help with a new family will Conner be in it too?
| Ghostrider chapter 2 . 6/14/2008
Yep, Willow's still in her "I'm right because I'm smarter then you" mindset. We save the world so we are the best. You save some people wearing a silly costume, pfft...
You've really nailed down what I've always hated about her on the show, the passive/aggressive manipulative stance she has. I didn't notice it at first viewing but later viewings, showed it clearly in all it's subtlety and you've managed to bring it out in this chapter.
Looking forward to the next bit.

Truly some great stuff here.
Too bad things didn't end too well with Will and Xander at the end.
Almost two years before they speak to each other again, eh?
Gotta say I'm interested to hear them when that time is up.
Looking forward to next update.
What direction of the map is the Teen Titans team that Xander's a part of?

Finally! I found a good Xander crossover fic to add to my c2 Xander archive! There's been a real dry spell on new Xander fics. Great story, you've really got Xander down well. Xander and Oly can bond about their similiar tastes in women (who try to kill them). lol
| Cylon One chapter 1 . 11/16/2007
Super awesome. And there's still more to come?

One of the worse and pretentious clubs in the West End. Bouncers are full of themselves and rude. Took me ages to get in even though my group had already reserved a VIP table. In the end, I stayed for 30 minutes before leaving for Chinese food. The food was crap too but at least I got to eat within 5 minutes.more
Food with Yanniff is stunning. Dined here with a voucher and would highly recommend. Service was informed and smooth, each course was explained and presented with elegance. A really great way to spend an evening if your a foodie. The club was is not to my taste but if grey goose swilling 20 some things take your fancy - its the place to be.more
They put on a £25 tasting menu. Food is bearable, with some notable highlights such as seared yellow tuna cube, truffle potato gnocchi and the chocolate s'more where favours and textures are nicely executed.
If it were not for the price I'm not sure I'd be willing to dine there as lots of attention to details in terms of service was missing, like using bread plate for starters!
Quite possibly the only club in London comparable to the LA and Vegas scene - in size, style and class.
Dstrkt was an awesome choice for our agency Xmas party.
Four large chambers are connected via open planning, each on varying elevations to keep things interesting. The space feels expensive and the guests look a million bucks. Management surely didn't skimp on the sound system and...more
Great place,
Let me answer some of Yelper complaints/Qs first.
Yes if you were a bunch of guys they wont let you in.
Yes if you don't have a reservation or known by the door staff you may not go in.
Yes if you were wearing NOT smart, sneakers etc... You will not go in
Yes it is pricey . Its a club in Soho so .....

Vicky Pryce trial
Vicky Pryce is on trial at Southwark Crown Court charged with perverting the course of justice.
Vicky Pryce is on trial at Southwark Crown Court charged with perverting the course of justice.
Phone conversations in which Vicky Pryce and Chris Huhne discuss the newspaper reports of the speeding points swap, during which he emphatically denies getting her to accept the penalty, have been played to the jury at Southwark Crown Court.
Former Cabinet minister Huhne pleaded guilty on Monday to perverting the course of justice over claims Pryce took speeding points for him a decade ago, while announcing his resignation as an MP.

Energy from Death-Front View (Clip)
Energy from Death-Front View (Clip)
Date: March 14, 2010
Running Time: 00:05:17
Watch the process of a deceased monitor lizard providing energy for other organisms to live in this time-lapse video. Look for this exhibit in the museum, upstairs in the Traits of Life area. Animals are a source of energy-rich food even after they die. Here we can see beetles, flies, bacteria, and other organisms feasting on carcasses. They get their energy from rotting flesh, just as we get energy from the food we eat. Scavengers break down the tissues of dead animals, releasing nutrients that would otherwise remain trapped inside. This action recycles proteins and minerals from the dead animal's body, enriching the soil for plants to grow, and providing food for other creatures to consume.

Oregon Fishing Report
More fish are on the way. Counts at Willamette Falls stand at 74 summer steelhead, 30 spring Chinook, and 3,204 winter steelhead as of March 19.
When the bite is on, bobbers and jigs are the preferred angling method with spoons, spinners and egg clusters also being effective. Currently the entire river below Packsaddle Park (near the Minto Fish Facility) is open year-round to adipose fin-clipped steelhead. Trout fishing is closed until May 23, 2015.
Flows in the South Santiam below Foster dam have increased to 1,400 cfs at Waterloo as of March 23. Water releases out of Green Peter reservoir are being reduced for the next few weeks to ensure adequate filling before the summer, which should make for excellent fishing conditions in the interim below Foster dam. New summer steelhead and spring Chinook have begun to arrive at Willamette Falls but it will take a few weeks before they arrive in the basin. Winter steelhead are in the basin now and can be found throughout the river. So far, 32 winter steelhead and three summer steelhead have entered the trap below Foster. Best sections to fish are from Wiley Creek to Pleasant Valley boat ramps, around Waterloo County Park, and from Lebanon down to the confluence with the North Santiam.

Darkness that nourished
Mary Kom's autobiography 'Unbreakable', I came across a passage where she described, when she was a child, how she studied and what her home was like. Her home didn't have electricity. They used to put cotton wicks inside a glass bottle and use them as lamps with kerosene. That reminded me of the lamps we used to use at home when electricity went off…

When I met my hero
Just a couple of days ago, I met with Praveen Gedam, a medical doctor, who has chosen to nurse more than just diseases. Dr. Praveen Gedam, an IAS officer of 2002 batch is Maharashtra Government's famous troubleshooter with an interesting history. Few years ago, a businessman donated Rs. 1500 crores to the Vitthal temple of Pandharpur on the condition that the government must come up with a rock-solid plan for development of Pandharpur, where every penny is accounted for. The way he was assured of transparency and efficiency was: Dr. Gedam was transferred to the district as the collector!
It was Dr. Gedam's bulletproof paperwork and intolerance of corruption that saw powerful Maharashtra politicians behind bars for Gharkul Housing Scam involving 216 crore rupees. Usually, when most of the scams are exposed, and the accused escape through some loophole or the other. Here was an example, a politician, whose party was in power, couldn't avoid jail because he was so thoroughly exposed with impeccably detailed evidence and paperwork.
You know how exams used to be held at and around my place? Students didn't study for exams, they copied. There was an elaborate system in place for copying. Invigilators would turn a blind eye, peons would carry printed answers to the candidates. "Anti-copy squad" was a joke. Exam centers would know beforehand that the squad is going to visit the center, just before the visit of the squad, chits, notes, and whole books would be collected from the copying students in sackfuls and thrown away, making the center 'clean'. Boy! How I hated it! When Dr. Gedam came to my district as the District Collector, he put an end to it. He showed that all it takes to do away with most of the filth in our society is one strong-willed officer!
When I was a kid, a very small kid, I used to say "I want to become a scientist when I grow up". When I grew up a slight bit more, it changed to "I want to become an IAS officer!". Dr. Gedam made me change that to "I want to become an IAS officer like Dr. Praveen Gedam!". That hasn't changed till date.
I had a lot of questions about IAS as a career option. Friends and relatives alike have told me that I shouldn't be a starry eyed kid gung-ho about IAS. I should actually try to find the ground truth. I should try to find out how it is like to be an IAS officer for real, because they feared it is something I won't actually like. Who better to ask these questions to than Dr. Gedam himself! And that's how, on a fine Saturday morning, a government holiday, I ended up in his office, 350 km away from my home.

Rain: An engineer's take
He heard thunder. It's going to rain! He and rain — they went way back.
He would come back from classes, fold his umbrella, fling his backpack on the bed. That stupid little bag full of books! It always forced him to use the umbrella. Now he was free. Free to soak in the rain. Free to run, free to splash, free to dance!
Rain was freedom.

Teacher that once mattered
Dear reader,
I'm confused. I feel clueless, untethered, like a boat without a compass, in the midst of a storm. I'm thinking in circles, and boy it's tiring! Will you help me?
This is about a teacher, and how I feel about him.

Shattered remembrall
MemNet loading… [####...... 42%]
Akshata was intently staring at her phone screen. "Come on, I haven't got all day!" she remarked impatiently. The 128 cores in her phone, whizzing at a blazing 4 GHz were sweating under MemNet's strain.
An hour passed. MemNet's welcome screen didn't look particularly welcoming to Dr. Akshata. It had now been almost a year since she got the Turing award for her work in neuroinformatics and just this morning she had sniffed-in her last dose of pico-bots. She could never quite get rid of the tiny panic the pico-bots induced in her brain, but she was quick to get used to that minor inconvenience.
Start scan? [yes] [no]

I am a coward
Actually, this post could as well be empty, the title should suffice.
I changed my name a few days ago. I had good reasons to do it. Bulletproof argument, right? Oh I forgot what a fucking coward I am! That's where things go wrong, you see…

I changed my name
Till a few days back, I went by the name Sujeet Gokul Gholap. Now, I'm Sujeet Kausallya Gholap.
A few days back, on the occasion of teachers' day, I wrote about how my mother is the most influential teacher that I've had. It got me thinking… My mother (Aai) has contributed to me, my personality and my views as much as my father (Pappa). When Pappa took me to science exhibitions, Aai taught me household science. When Pappa imbued my childhood with a strong sense of morality and idealism, Aai exemplified how to be caring and loving. When Pappa made me interested in history, Aai made me like poetry.
It struck me odd that having played equal roles in shaping me, my name has two words from Pappa's name, and no words from Aai's name! "Let's fix that!" I thought.
But it runs deeper than that…

Teacher that matters the most
"Wow! It looks, so… nice!" marveled a boy of four, standing on the terrace's parapet, wide-eyed, taking in all the beauty of the sunrise. He did not know the word 'beautiful' then. Things were just 'nice', some were 'cool'. His Aai (mother), stood by, smiling… Had he been observant, surely he would've seen her eyes crinkling too.
"Listen to the birds chirping."
"Yeah! Sooo nice, Aai!"
"See that mist?"
"Oh! Wow!"
She taught him to appreciate the beautiful world they lived in.

Engineering a Quora answer for 4k+ upvotes
A few friends and I were discussing Anonymity on Quora and veracity of anonymous answers. That discussion still fresh in my mind, I saw a lot of my programmer friends upvoting an answer to "How did you meet your first girlfriend/boyfriend?". What makes this answer get a 1000+ uvotes, I wondered. If you look at the ridiculous number of "IITians and girls" questions on Quora, you'll realize what made that answer so popular.
"Hmm… the answer appeals to all those hardcore computer science students for whom, a girlfriend is just the stuff of dreams. When they see someone finding his girlfriend in a programming contest, surely the answer's gonna sell like hotcakes. Further, true to the typical Indian mindset, quite a few readers would find 'we are going to marry soon' very aww-inspiring."
"Can I come up with a formula, which takes such factors actively into account? I want to beat this answer in number of upvotes. I want to engineer an answer which will be the highest voted answer for this question!"

The stigma of post-processing
"This is photoshopped, right?"
"#nofilter, mind you!"
"#nofilter, mind you!"
I'm sick of people pointing out photoshopped pictures, and people being proud of their '#nofilter' pictures, and yeah, people asking "nice pictures! which camera do you have?"
Why don't you ask "wow! nice poem! which pen do you use for writing?"? Why not discuss whether J.K.Rowling wrote drafts and then edited and refined them or whether she wrote stuff and published it without giving it a second look? Why not ask whether an artist ever used the eraser while he was drawing that drawing? Sure, remix in music is fine, florid and articulate language in literature is welcome, highly stylistic films get rave reviews because they are stylistic but… but… deviate a little bit from what our eyes see and a photograph suddenly becomes 'photoshopped' and dismissed right-away.
You take pride in reading between lines, but you refuse to see between the pixels! Every photograph has its own story, you know… Stop thinking of photographs as representation of reality. They are rendition of the reality as seen through the photographer's eyes, touched by the photographer's imagination, wanting to tell a story, deliver a message.

Around the corner… a vanished friend"

डूबा रातोंकी झगमगाहटोंमें;Translation:
नयी उम्मीद जगानेवाला सवेरा मैंने खो दिया
गहराईओंमें मोती ढूँढ़ते ढूँढ़ते;
मन को सुकूँ दिलानेवाला किनारा मैंने खो दिया
छिछोरे चाँद को तांकते तांकते;
हरपल राह दिखानेवाला सितारा मैंने खो दिया
"मैं!" "मुझे!!" "मेरा!!!" कहते कहते;
"मैं हूँ ना" कहनेवाला कोई प्यारा मैंने खो दिया
चूहोंकी दौड़में भागते भागते;
मेरे हमसफ़र तुझे, यारा मैंने खो दिया

That's what she could never say
"Sujata to Ground Station: exiting ISSS for spacewalk 13 on sub-mission 2-b in 57 seconds." Captain Sujata Rao sent a voice-message to ISRO ground station from the International Super Space Station orbiting Mars as she was about to go out on a short mission to fix a couple of mechanical issues. She'd get a response in another 25 minutes.
Sujata thought that the sun was a bit unusually brighter. She shrugged and proceeded toward the bolt she needed to tighten by 10 degrees more. She didn't find a need to activate her jetpack as the micro-thrusters in her space-suit were adequately powerful.
As she approached the bolt, a static started playing in receiver. 'So jarring!' she thought, irritated. The specially designed automatic spanner registered a significant temperature rise in the bolt. Her jaw dropped when she saw the sun had grown 10 times its size. Before she knew it, the static had gone from unbearable to 'extreme torture', impairing her hearing forever.
A superbright flash… an explosion… a hundred thousand suns bursting into life…
Nothing… no Captain Sujata… just individual atoms floating in space…

Branches, loops, and jumps
Here begins my experiment: just type away as my thoughts ramble and wander… letting them take me to places and times — here and yonder! I'm typing out… in the end, I'll have to do some minimal editing and little bit of censoring here and there and boom! I have a blog post!
So yeah, this is an attempt to pen it down as my thoughts branch out and new topics emerge. I've always found it very hard to be on the top of a particular topic for long and the 'very hard' part invariably makes me think of [deleted] from where my mind travels to places like Agra. I think of Taj Mahal and how acid rain is ruining its beauty. These goddamn Agra people! So much pollution! I know, right! And why does pollution make me think of population? Is it just word similarity or is there a deeper meaning to it, I wonder.
Yeah! Wonder Woman! Supposed to be some famous comic book character or something. Nah! Never heard of her. I know Captain America, Batman, Flash, Superman, Spiderman and all that, okay! But Wonder Woman? I'm just barely aware of her existence in the comic-verse. Yeah, yeah, the universe portrayed in comic books, not like "a verse that is funny" but yeah, why not? Verses can be funny too! And you know what? There was this guy in my school, his name was Phani (pronounced exactly same as 'funny'). Boy, was that funny! Okay, okay, I know I shouldn't be making fun of people's names and all that, but hey, this is what's coming to my mind right now.

Once you have the equipment together, go round and remove all of the removable hardware that could affect the finish of the vinyl and make things more difficult. Mirrors, door handles, plastic trims, aerials etc will all need to come off.
Never try to install vinyl wrap to a car that is not clean, otherwise grease, dirt, and grime will all affect the vinyl and will prevent it from sticking properly. Go round your car, clean it and dry it thoroughly.
Obviously you'll need some level of skill to carry this out, but if you really want your car vinyl wrapped, have a look at the 3Dom Wraps Automotive Aftermarket Services and book a professional car vinyl wrapper in your area!
Now it's time to begin wrapping. Start with the roof, lay a sheet of vinyl on the top and allow it to loosely overhang down each side. Remove the protective sticky backing and lay the sticky surface down onto your roof carefully and slowly.
Remove any visible air bubbles and trim the edges of the vinyl getting as close as possible to your roof. Repeat this exact same process on all other flat surfaces of your car and make sure to always smooth it down and remove as many visible air bubbles as possible.
As the mirrors are curved, you will need to apply heat to the vinyl from a heat gun and then stretch it so that it covers the back of your mirrors. Trim and neaten them, and do the same with any trim or handles, unless of course you wish to leave them their natural colour.
Once you're satisfied that you've finished, inspect your handy work and replace any handles, mirrors, and other pieces of hardware you removed earlier. Use the plastic burnisher tool to smooth and remove any air bubbles and sit back and reflect upon a job well done.]]>
Some private registrations also give no indication of 'age of vehicle' which is a nice feature if you have a lovely but rather old motor. Why label it with an age labeling registration number. Dateless number plates will make your cherished motor 'ageless'.
Some private number plates can be very short and these are more desirable so accordingly are more expensive. An alternative is to select a registration which reflects your name or your initials and perhaps your date of birth. Never again be stumped at a hotel reception when you have to fill out a form and enter your vehicles registration number. Not only is it quite cool to have a personalised reg that resembles your name but these private plates often appreciate over time. In fact, private number plates are an unobvious but smart form of investment. They can naturally make an excellent gift for that special someone, no wonder then more and more car owners are giving their car a personalised car registration number.
Auto consignment stores are not as common as car dealerships; however, they do exist. These stores are usually run by private business owners or small auto businesses. If you want to find one that is reputable, you could check the Yellow Pages or search Google for "Auto Consignment Shops" and add your location after it. You should be able to find something, especially if you live in a city.

Video: Bret Bielema Slipped And Fell To His Knees During "Hog Walk"
Arkansas coach Bret Bielema just experienced every runway model's worst nightmare. Bielema, while completing the Razorbacks' "Hog Walk" tradition before home games, took a spill on a rather slippery portion of the pavement. I wouldn't say it was his most graceful moment.
Yes, Wisconsin fans, it's okay to laugh.
