Little Busters!
Genres: Comedy, Drama, Romance, School
After watching several of the promotional videos as well as other related works from Key, I am pretty excited for this series. J.C. Staff will be handling it but I have confidence in them this time around. The characters and theme of the series sounds interesting and some of the characters reminds me of other Key's works.
This series definitely has my attention so far.
Episode 1
Loved the visual artworks tbh even though I initially had some doubts in J.C. Staff. The OP was pretty catchy. The characters' design are a bit moe especially with the flashback scenes but I can live with that. There were also some priceless expressions on some of the characters' faces so that was also amusing to watch. Only problem I had was with Rin's voice..that part kinda got to me.
The baseball game was amusing as well and the ED is just so-so. It gave me some nostologia of Clannad and Angel Beats! as well as a little of Kanon. But pretty good for a pilot episode so far and definitely going to keep watching this series.

Boy oh boy, were to begin.
Might as well get it out of the way first and say that when JC Staff said that they would be sticking to the original story closely, they really meant that they would be sticking to the original story closely. I don't speak much Japanese, but I watched this episode raw, and I could still follow more or less everything being said, because this episode was practically verbatim to the parts of the game it covered. So much so that it was to the point that they might as well have not hired voice actors at all and could have just saved some cash by lifting the lines from the game instead.
Whether that's a positive or a negative I still haven't really decided yet. Its not just the dialogue that's direct from the game either, many of the effects and stuff like the 'nickname changed' popup and the way it comes in from the bottom are the exact same as the game as well.
I have no complaints regarding the changes to the cast so far. I was a little apprehensive about the idea of Horie Yui as Riki, wasn't terribly impressed by the voice work in the trailers, but I think she's perfectly fitting for the role now that I've heard it.
As for the soundtrack, love the new rendition of the OP song, new version of Alicemagic isn't bad either though I still like the original better), but it would be nice if they would tone down the use of the BGM (all of which is, also, from the game). I swear they had one song or another playing in EVERY. SINGLE. SCENE. and more often than not it was when people were talking, kinda annoying.
Character designs are pretty good. Still not 100% sold on what I've seen of some of them so far in the trailer (can't escape the feeling that Kud is somewhat lacking in facial definition) but they worked well enough so far, and I do like Komari's redesign alot now that I've seen it in action, very cute( I always thought her eyes were a bit weird, same goes for Haruka...)
Animation wise...well...its not Kyoani. Lots of still images with mouths moving. Not a particularly impressive display, not unwatchable.
But regardless of any faults, perceived or actual, I really enjoyed finally seeing this story in motion and am very much looking forward to more of

Episode 1
So this is the Key series that everyone has been wanting to be made into an anime. Personally I am not impressed, undoubtly I am going to compare this to the shows KyoAni did, and Angel Beats done by P.A. Works, it just does not have the visual flare those series had. I would probably say some problem falls into lack of Moe, the first episode was largely a sausage fest, except for Rin who was probably the best part of the episode. Although Rin's title of being an idol seems to be rather contreived, especially since she seems to be a bit awkward, I liked things from her pitching, and the whole recruiting bit. Riki seems good too, not too much manliness, and being voiced by one of my favourite seiyu is a plus.
I saw that I will need to see more girls foe me to feel this a real good Key show, J.C. Staff often does some nice female characters, so I hope I will enjoy it more.

So, this is Key, right?
Yes, the animation isn't amazing, but it gets the job done. I guess.
There was some good laughs (I especially enjoyed that chicky trying to recruit players.
I suppose that since this is Key, things are gonna get sad near the end? I dunno if I'm going to like this group enough for that...
Either way, I'll watch it through.

spoiler[Cafeteria fight was awesome!!
Flashback to childhood days was nice too.
It explained some things about their group.
That Kyousuke really is a weird guy with all sorts of ideas.
Recruitment for their newly founded baseball team was another weird one.

Having just finished the visual novel again recently for a second time, my hype levels for the anime were extremely high, as it literally had me laughing straight out loud for most of the duration of the game. The characters are just too damn hilarious. So high expectations for the anime.
Keep calm and trust Key. They know what they're doing.

(For the guys that already know the story)
I'm curious about this show, but I have a couple of questions:
Is this a story like Clannad? I mean, in the sense that they make you laugh at first, lots of jokes and cute girls, and then the hard-cold truth arrives and strikes really, really hard with either a catastrophic past or a terrible present for each girl.
Because if that's the case, then I might watch it. I didn't like Clannad's visual novel all that much (waaaay too long) but I totally loved the anime, that condensed the best bits.

That's Key's MO. All their stuff is like that.
Anyways, I thought it's off to a good start. I was never doom-and-glooming over the studio choice so everything sat with me just fine. My only complaint, not enough Komari! Episode 2 should fix that!
While I have yet to play the VN (waiting for Ecstasy), I have read pretty extensive spoilers. The main manga adaptation aside, the version I've been familiar with for years is the 4koma.

I really like how this show has a good group dynamic where the friends are all likeable and are not all "super nerdy" or ultra pervy stereotypes in most high school visual novel games. I only hope the other females they introduce are not bland.
Be warned this show is more than what it seems. *Wikipedia should not have spoilers damn it

Anyone should be aware of what they're getting into here. I can't imagine how one wanders into Key anime these days without knowing what it'll be. Maybe I shouldn't expect people to be familiar with Clannad, Kanon, Air, or Angel Beats, but they're kind of a big deal. You don't even need to have played the game to guess where things are headed just based on prior experiences. To highlight this, no I have not played Little Busters, and I really haven't read up on it either. But I do know Key and Maeda Jun, and have no reason to expect something else.

Can we agree right now, and I know I said this in the SAO thread (which has not worked out quite right) but NO SPOILERS from the Visual Novels or other media! This is especially important in a Key anime due to how it works so well at lowering you guard and then hitting you in the right spots.
Their anime are experiences, and I want to enjoy the experience entirely.
And to ShinnFlowen, at least I know now to avoid wikipedia, *salute to face being in the sky* we will not forget your sacrafice. I think I may have read a spoiler when I was passing by TV Tropes earlier, but I have tried hard to forget it, but writing this now is not helping.
If I want to discuss the characters I will only use Myanimelist so I can remember who is what, the spoiler should be covered there right? Right?

I only wanted to know if funimation or sentai licensed the show and I ended up looking a bit too far near the bottom and got spoiled. I still think this show is going to do a good job with the comedy/slice of life moments as long as the other females aren't as annoying as the purple haired girl with a lame laugh.

I think Haruka might be the only one to give you problems in that regard... unless you don't mind hyperactive troublemakers.

The Cross of Christ
Posted February 26, 2001
The power of the Cross
In a world where Christians are challenged to demonstrate the uniqueness of Jesus and the power of the gospel, we are forced to say that the weakness of God is greater than the strength of men, and the foolishness of God is greater than the wisdom of man. John Stott tells us that Christ's uniqueness, indeed the uniqueness of the Christian Faith lies in the death of Christ on the cross as substitionary sacrifice for sin. Stott lays the importance of this event by examining Old Testament prescedent, demonstrating human need, and pondering the idea held by Christians that God Himself died on a cross. A challenging book that gets to the point of Christian thought, faith, and grace. A must read for everyone who ever had questions about the cross and God's grace.

Samples on Wall..SW Morning For/Monorail Silver, BM Boothbay Gray
I liked my samples better when I had just a 1 foot by 1 foot section painted on the wall, but no, I had to paint like a 4*2 1/2 foot section of my top 3 picks.
I am going for a medium muted gray-blue. I don't want it to read overly blue, but I want the gray in it to be more of a muter, and not give off a "this is a gray room" feel
BM Boothbay Gray...I really want to do this color. I am afraid that it won't show enough blue.
Sherwin Williams Monorail Silver...pretty, but afraid it will be too gray.
Sherwin Williams Morning Fog...pretty name, but too blue?
I already tried 6 samples of paint, and have the following bedroom set getting delivered tomorrow! I am also trying to get trim stripped, my baseboard trim in the room will be a dark reddish (the furniture won't be as red) and the ceiling and trim will be dover white(currently a blah, faded, old, use-to-be white color)
The color in the pic above is very similar to the color my master bedroom used to be -- FB Blue Gray, which is pictured in the thread below but in my room, it read quite a bit darker (more like the 3rd pic down where it looks darker in the corner). I didn't like it, actually, for my room, and just repainted it Revere Pewter -- so I don't have my own pics to share. It's a great color, just not for me!
Here is a link that might be useful: Blue Gray
Sue-thanks for the suggestion. I actually just found this pic this morning when trying to post the bedroom set. I also saw your post (in your link)this morning. I think the color is too bright (white base?) I have Benjamin Moore Hampshire Gray in my kitchen and love that it is a color, but grayed down. I don't want pure gray for MY bedroom because that is what I want for my son's room in 1-2 years. I did look at Revere Pewter as it looks like a lot of people love it...but it is very taupe in my room...DH doesn't like white/taupe/tan walls. I think a tan wold be very pretty, but will have to save that color as an accent, which is actually why I need something that doesn't read "GRAY" ... I don't think I would like gray and tan together! But blue and tan is very nice....
Now that the light is changing in my room this morning, I am thinking that the Sherwin Williams Monorail Silver may be my best bet. Although I am still undecided.
I think tht blue/greys & grey/blues are some of the hardest colors to choose from just by samples. I think that their nuances are so enhanced/ un-enhanced by everything around them (including light reflecting back from other walls) that it's nearly impossible to tell whether or not the color will go grey or blue on you until all 4 walls are painted. Sorry!
Our boys room is a color called Silverware which is a beautiful grey which reads slightly greyed blue on their walls. It was totally grey on the color strip and when I poured a sample of it for a friend I swear it looked positively pale baby blue! I had to make her take a leap of faith in me to try it.
ttodd- I agree that I am just going to have to do my due diligence picking the color and then a total leap of faith!
I actually primed my walls, 2 coats, because the colors I was picking were just not reading right in the rose colored room! I really don't want to move a king bed after the fact because I just got the wrong color on the wall though.
Well... I'm probably not a lot of help, but I'm chiming in to say it's amazing how blue a gray can look on the wall. I just painted a color that looked to be muted gray-green-blue on the chip. It is distinctly blue on my walls. I do not want a blue room, though if I did, it is a very pretty, grayed out blue... I've come to believe that splotching is not enough for me to really see a color. I apparently have to have it on the walls en masse to really know if it is what I am going for. Alas.
PS - My color was allen and roth Rain Puddle from Lowes.
Have you googled Boothbay Gray? I found this picture and it looks pretty blue.
I also found one of Monorail Silver. Love this one!
Monorail Silver looking more blue. That's what makes this so darn hard.
I'm thinking if you're worried a color might not have enough blue, it will probably be okay. I'm in the group that ended up with a color bluer than I thought it would be.

A very beautiful church. Next to it is a big hotel , and it looks as though they have a restaurant. We just walked by and the piazza was wide and impressive.
Rather unusual, this baroque church has a single octagonal nave - a more intimate setting than the wide other baroque churches in Lecce. Look at the ceiling - it's papier-maché. Worth a stop once you are in the downtown centre.
One of my favourites. I was right next to our B&B so the first one we visited. It's small but lovely inside.
This little church was surprisingly ornate inside. The art and architecture are beautiful.

Mini-golf courses are littered with creative hazards, such as windmills and men who run around trying to scoop up the ball in a plastic bag. Overcome obstacles with this Groupon.

Choose from Three Options
- $15 for a family fun package for two (a $34 value)
- $29 for a family fun package for four (a $68 value)
- $39 for a family fun package for six (a $102 value)

For all three options, each guest receives the following:
- Unlimited black-light mini golf
- Unlimited turns in the batting cage
- $5 worth of arcade tokens per person

Bat Cave
Glowing, neon creatures cast a ghastly glow on the 18-hole miniature golf course as guests putt through the darkened corridors that comprise one half of the Bat Cave. The aptly named course snakes through caverns teeming with ghoulish creatures that distract putters as they attempt to measure the slope of the green or ask for advice from the spirit of the pterodactyl skeleton hanging over their head. More fast-paced recreation awaits in the other wing of the Bat Cave—a batting cage where guests blast homers off pitches slung at speeds of 35 to 85 m.p.h.
The Bat Cave shares space with the RollerCave, a rink where guests glide on rollerskates under dancing lights. The open arena also encompasses an arcade with a pool table, skee-ball, and other classic games.
94% of 72 customers recommend
"Helmets and bats provided, but bring batting gloves. :)"
"I had a wonderful experience. Friendly staff, and not super crowded. My son plays t-ball, so he loved the batting cages. I'm actually going to be having his birthday..."

Hurricane Sandy blew a laptop into the ocean. Now a dell is rolling in the deep.
Mayor Bloomberg said this storm is no laughing matter....then he read his speech in spanish...
NJ Gov. Chris Christie encourages residents to 'hunker down' in a safe place with enough food. He is choosing an Old Country Buffet #Frankenstorm #Sandy
When reporting #Frankenstorm, TV hosts should be required to shout #Sandy in a high-pitched voice like John Travolta at the end of Grease.
Try the wind. It's refreshing.
Save your bottle caps they will be the new currency ....
I got the alcohol, who has the bad decisions?
Woman behind me at grocery store was buying 15 rolls of toilet paper. She's truly expecting the worst #FrankenStorm #Sandy
Forget the water: wine is the only essential for midtown residents.
To best prepare please watch the instructional video: The Day After Tomorrow featuring Jake Gyllenhaal.
Mayor Bloomberg: "This is a serious and dangerous storm. For those in Zone A, evacuation is mandatory."

Governor Cuomo has announced the suspension of MTA service, including LIRR, bus & rail commuter trains, and MTA-North. Last subway trains at 7PM and last buses at 9PM.
You *did* remember to call your, ummm..."landscaper" before the MTA shutdown, right?
Be sure to get cash from the ATM now since that won't work when the power goes out. And fill the tub with water so you can use it to refill and flush the toilet. Been there, done that. :) Yes we can!
Buy a boat. It's value will double tomorrow.
Bloomberg warns Spanish-Speaking New Yorkers to "avoidado los hurricañes." lol
Stock up on beer. The water might go bad !
I plan on resorting to cannibalism when the food runs low (or if it gets boring). Gordon Ramsey has a great recipe.
tweet with #gasline #nyopen #nygas #njopen #njgas Help others find open gas stations. ty
Sandy is about to unleash the Kraken on the tri-state area. #pray

Mother Nature decided to dress up as Sandy this year...
Sacrebleu ! -Hercule Poirot
There's a storm coming Mr. Wayne. And when it hits you will wonder how a storm could be so hyped and leave so little hype for the other news stories.
I would love to be here with a friend if someone could help me travel there :)
When I was a youngbuck growing up in Pennsylvania, Taylor Swift and I were in a kids theatre group rendition of Grease. She played #Sandy.
Can someone help me travel there?
Don't die.
It's the end of the world as we know it...
Don't take this storm lightly folks! Prepare! STAY INSIDE! Everything named Sandy is enormous!
Charge all old cell phones and use for flashlight app!

Don't want the ice cream to go to waste? Eat it before the power goes out!
Look out Cha Cha DiGregorio! Hurricane Sandy is coming to town.
Chain your Vespa to a tree
May I suggest you stock up on diet coke and menthos. Not sure why but trust me.
The worst part of Sandy is the boner she gave Bloomberg:

The latest revelation from climate scientists is that they now believe global climate change as a result of human activities is now inevitable and irreversible. Furthermore, it will affect everybody in the years to come-if it hasn't already. It is nigh time for a new attitude.
By Marshall Connolly, Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Climate scientists met in Japan last week to provide the most comprehensive assessment of all climate change data available. With the exception of very few published reports, the vast majority, about 97 percent of climate scientists have reaffirmed their contention that the Earth's climate is warming and that humans are either partly, if not wholly to blame.
St. Francis, patron saint of animals and the environment.
While there may be less consensus on the causes of climate change, we know it is happening. Climate change is part of a natural cycle on Earth, and it is almost intuitive to see that human activities, which cause pollution on a scale that isn't apparent to most, are having a negative impact.
This week, a dramatic illustration of the human impact on the planet is unfolding in the Indian Ocean as patrol craft and ships search for the wreckage of Malaysian Airlines flight 370. Every "lead" no matter how promising, has turned out to be garbage. The world is beginning to see for itself that the oceans, even thousands of miles from land, is heavily polluted with junk.
While flotsam may not contribute to global warming, it provides a visual illustration for the harm we are doing to our planet. We are even more caviler when it comes to carbon emissions and other greenhouse gasses, such as methane, which we cannot see with our eyes.
Simply put, you cannot have a planet populated by nearly 8 billion people, all producing methane, carbon dioxide, discarding plastic, and physically altering the natural environment on a global scale without global consequences.
Among the most concrete predictions of climate scientists are crop yields forecasts. Crop yields in much of the world will decline in the decades to come as a result of climate change. Meanwhile, crop yields in traditionally colder areas, including Canada, Eastern Europe, and northern Asia will increase. This "shift" in growing area will offset some of the food production loss that will happen in more central latitudes, but it may not compensate entirely for the change. The net result will be less food for even more people.
As climate changes so will crop yields. The red areas reflect anticipated decline, the green expansion. The expansion is unlikely to offset the losses.

In any area, people continually discuss (argue?) over the best or greatest. We trot out statistics and arguments, call on experts for their opinions, poll the public and spend a great deal of time in the debate. There are yearly, decade, century, and as 2000 approached even millennial lists. Examining our everyday lives, the media has and continues to debate what inventions and innovations have had the greatest effect on our everyday lives.

In July 2007 the IOC chose Sochi, Russia to host the 2014 Olympic Winter Games over Pyeongchang, Korea and the seemingly safe choice of Salzburg, Austria. It was a highly unusual choice as Sochi, in southern Russia on the Black Sea, was a summer resort, and had no winter sports facilities at the time of the bid, but Russian President Vladimir Putin made an impassioned plea to the IOC and he would come to dominate the 2014 Winter Olympics as had no non-athlete since Adolf Hitler at 1936 Berlin.

David is a generous and all round awesome guy. We really got along like old friends! I appreciate that he could show me the beaches of San Fransisco and give me clear directions for where I needed to go and spend time eating together even though he had to work through the Thanksgiving weekend. As for the space it is exactly as it appears in the pictures- big open plan loft, as someone else said super comfy bed, clean and stylish and I just wanted to dance around the huge space all the time. I did my yoga practise on the balcony at sunrise and sunset which was lovely. I also fell in love with SF and so I want to go back, but you can stay with David until I can get back there myself!
David was a wonderful host. He was very prompt responding to messages, even though I reserved the room only one day in advance. I felt very comfortable in his house. His apartment is great, with wonderful views, very clean and the room is very private with it's own half bath. David was extremely welcoming, offering my a drink when I arrived. I highly recommend staying with David.
David and his loft are amazing-I had such a wonderful stay- the room is private and super comfy- Amazing views from the deck! David is interesting, intelligent, and such a warm personality. I hope to hang out with him again in the future :) I couldn't recommend him more!
David is our favorite 'come-back' guest. Always great fun to see him. Highly recommended!
Really good tenant, comprehensive and polite
He came back to stay another time and it was amazing to have him again!
David was amazing to have in the villa. He is quite, clean, polite and super chilled. An extremely keen surfer, we hardly see him during the day as he is usually down on the beach.
Couldn't recommend a better person to stay.
Thank you for choosing Surf Dacha, David. Hope to see you again!
David & Hannah were wonderful guests. Easy company, considerate, fun...Everything you could hope for. Always welcome back!
Excellent guest who would be welcome anywhere. Considerate, interesting, thoughtful, he's typical of the great people who use airbnb and make it as good as it is.

There is a lot of excitement about Apple's new iBeacon technology but most people still don't realise what it is or how to use it.
iBeacon is actually used in two contexts:
- It is primarily a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Profile that enables a device to broadcast its relative position
- It is any hardware device that uses the iBeacon BLE Profile
The following paragraph illustrates this terminology effectively. A third-party beacon can use the iBeacon BLE profile to advertise its relative location and therefore be classed itself as an iBeacon. An iPhone can also use the iBeacon BLE profile itself to act as a Virtual iBeacon. In this case the power levels are generally higher and so you may get a more accurate result. There is nothing to stop an Android 4.3 device being able to use the iBeacon BLE profile to advertise itself as a Virtual iBeacon too. In fact any device that supports BLE can communicate using the iBeacon BLE Profile. The core difference that iOS 7 offers is that is normalises the results from the iBeacon (in order to avoid fluctuations) and it offers the new iOS 7 CLBeacon class within the CoreLocation framework.
Here are some interesting fun facts:
- Apple does not produce iBeacon hardware
- iBeacon is not the only BLE profile for beacons, there are others that predated it (S-beacon, Gimbal, GeLo)
- Most beacons allow over the air (OTA) software updates which can be used to load the iBeacon profile
- The beacons from different vendors often behave quite differently
- iBeacons CANNOT reliably be used to pinpoint a precise indoor position - more on that later
The iBeacon BLE Profile does not have any payload. Instead it just sends three pieces of information:
- UUID - beacon manufacturer's unique identifier
- Major - a value that can identify a group of beacons (can be used for general region)
- Minor - a value that can identify an individual beacon with a group (can be used for a specific location within that region)
The CLBeacon class offers three different properties for determining the distance from the beacon:
- Accuracy - the accuracy of the proximity value allegedly in meters - in practice this doesn't map directly to meters in most cases
- Proximity - the vague definition of proximity - immediate, near, far and unknown
- RSSI - the received signal strength of the beacon in decibels
The CLBeaconRegion class enables notifications when the iPhone detects that the range of an iBeacon has changed and this can be used to launch your App even if it was not running. The class also enables the construction of a Virtual Beacon whereby the iPhone itself uses the iBeacon BLE Profile to behave like an iBeacon.
This means that we can detect proximity to an iBeacon quite easily by using the Proximity property. In practice this means using the CLBeaconRegion class to set up notifications when we get a proximity of "immediate" to certain strategically positions iBeacons. The accuracy of the beacons can be increased by more power and changing the frequency of updates (the default varies per vendor). Increasing these two parameters obviously decreases the battery life. The simplest option is to look for cases where 'the device is close to a beacon and the accuracy confidence is high' which translates into immediate zone. If you were however to put your hand in front of the device and the iBeacon, this can provide enough interference to push it back to the 'near zone' although neither the device or beacon has actually moved.
Immediate Zone (0-20 cm) (0-8")
When a device is held up close to a beacon
Accuracy confidence is high
Near Zone (20 cm - 2 m) (8"- 6.5')
Within a couple of meters to the beacon
Accuracy is fairly certain
Far Zone (2 - 70 m) (6.5 - 230')
More than a few meters away
Accuracy is low or the signal strength is weak
A simple strategy is to have a Cloud hosted data set that determines the positions of the beacons for an App to dynamically load and refer to. If you try and hardcode the iBeacon positions or have a non-updateable configuration file then you would have to go through the Apple App Store review process every time you want to physically add a new iBeacon. You could also host other information such as broadcast messages, regions and what the major and minor versions actually represent. It would certainly be interesting to have Location Data Stores that can describe multiple indoor positioning systems and that you can look up based on UUID, major and minor. That could be perceived as a security risk in certain situations though.
There are definite differences between the beacon vendors, and things you should be looking into are as follows:
- Secure firmware update over the air
- Cloud management platform
- iBeacon profile support
- Configurable properties: radio output power; RSSI; iBeacon advertising interval; UUID, major; and minor
- Developer SDK with documentation
If you buy beacons without the iBeacon profile pre-installed and they are not firmware updateable over the air then you are limited to older profiles. Likewise if the UUID is not configurable and not communicated in the documentation then you are locked into the vendor SDK. If the iBeacon advertising interval is very slow by default and not configurable then your beacons will be less accurate. Finally not being able to configure the power and RSSI means the beacons cannot be configured to be more accurate. http://localz.co/blog/ibeacon-ble-hardware-commercial-comparison/
There are also differences in the accuracy of iBeacons and associated SDKs as followed:
- Drop-out rate
- Consistency of beacon results amongst the same vendor
- Correct implementation of measured power (he value of measured RSSI at a distance of one meter)
- Change in accuracy due to rotation
- Beacon interference with each other (not something that should have an effect)
The challenge comes when you want to try and use triangulation with the RSSI or accuracy properties in order to find out a precise location rather than 'immediate', 'near' or 'far'. Using the accuracy property is best summed up by the following statement in the iOS 7 API documentation, "Accuracy indicates the one sigma horizontal accuracy in meters. Use this property to differentiate between beacons with the same proximity value. Do not use it to identify a precise location for the beacon. Accuracy values may fluctuate due to RF interference. A negative value in this property signifies that the actual accuracy could not be determined."
The distance estimate provided by iOS is based on the ratio of the iBeacon signal strength (RSSI) over the calibrated transmitter power (txPower). The txPower is the known measured signal strength in RSSI at 1 meter away. iOS also normalises the values to negate the fluctuations.
"At first glance it would appear that accuracy does seem to resemble distance. However at 0.5 meters, the accuracy underestimated distance, and by 1.5 meters, accuracy was an overestimation of distance. I decided to extend the distance out to 8 meters to see if the accuracy continued increasing with distance, however over the course of 80 seconds the accuracy of the beacon only reported an accuracy of 3.87m - some 4.13 meters shy of 8 meters. This was less than convincing that accuracy was representing distance. In certain ranges with this beacon there does appear to be some correlation between accuracy and distance. I turned the power up to 100% (+4bBm) and measured the accuracy at the same varying distances. This time I was seeing a very close relationship between accuracy and distance between 1 and 5 meters, though it did start to slip at greater distances (however at 15 meters there were desks and computers obscuring the path, so perhaps this is expected)." http://blog.shinetech.com/2014/02/17/the-beacon-experiments-low-energy-bluetooth-devices-in-action/
One equation that sums up the way to calculate distance is as follows:
P(d)[dBm] = P(do)[dBm] - 10n log (d / d0) - Z
- d The distance we want to know
- d0 A measure of distance for a known power output
- n The way the signal power degrades over distance
- Z The environmental effect (which is quite large).
To provide the algorithm for Android or to create your own custom version for iOS then you would need to do something like the following:
1. Normalise the RSSI and txPower values
2. Calibrate each IBeacon with the txPower value to allow accurate distance estimates.
3. Measured a bunch of RSSI measurements at known distances, then do a best fit curve to match the data points
4. Convert the best fit curve into an algorithm
protected static double calculateAccuracy(int txPower, double rssi) {
if (rssi == 0) {
return -1.0; // if we cannot determine accuracy, return -1.
double ratio = rssi*1.0/txPower;
if (ratio < 1.0) {
return Math.pow(ratio,10);
else {
double accuracy = (0.89976)*Math.pow(ratio,7.7095) + 0.111;
return accuracy;
There are mainly five issues with the approach of triangulation for more accurate positioning:
1. In non-controlled environments, where you can find metals, and other objects that affect the signal, the received signal strength of the beacons changes so often that it seems impossible to get an error range below 5 meters.
2. Other devices using 2.4 GHz frequency might be interfering with the Beacons' signal.
3. Depending on the way that the user is handling the receiver device, the readings can change a lot as well. If the user puts his/her hand over the bluetooth antenna, then the algorithm will have low signals as input, and thus the beacons will supposed to be very far from the device.
4. The directionality of the beacons and the receiver affects the readings.
5. The beacons and their SDKs all have a different effect on the accuracy of the results
"Having completed these experiments, I've been able to conclude that achieving accurate distance measurements with a single beacon is potentially possible, provided you have the right beacon and the right brand. Out of eight beacons, I only found one that was consistently achieving accurate distances. Given that there is so much inconsistency between the beacons and there is no guarantee you will even receive a beacon in an order that does provide accurate results, it seems the only way to achieve accuracy is by using many beacons and averaging the results."
1. Ceiling mounting of beacons reduces variance and the user blocking the path
2. Signal transmission and reception are dependent on the orientation of both the transmitter and receiver
3. Radio absorption by the user is significant in determining distance
4. Other radio interference does not seem significant
5. Clustering of beacons does not seem to have an impact
6. The measured power does not decrease uniformly as we move away from the receiver, this is the biggest limiting factor in using this technology for accurate positioning
7. Increasing the power to the beacons using the vendor SDK increases the relationship between accuracy and distance (on correctly configured beacons)
8. One mooted solution is to try to set up a beacon every X meters (X being the maximum error tolerated in the system) so we can track on this beacons grid the position of a given device by calculating which beacon on the grid is the closest to the device and assuming that the device is on the same position
9. Choose the beacon vendor carefully based on online reports because functionality does vary a lot
10. Use lots of beacons and take an average due to drop out rates and inconsistency amongst beacons in the same place
I leave you some other reading material and the general advice that using relative proximity is probably a far lot simpler than trying to implement precise location. That means designing your solution architecture and physical deployment appropriately. I can see the ability to track a user through a shopping centre of airport, but the ability to pinpoint out a product in a retail store will be challenging unless beacons with very high power levels are used and ceiling mounted.

"Its the two mounting studs into the stringers that are spinning and can't remove them"
And the stringers are wood or wood encased in fiberglass?
It could be the wood is badly rotted out, in which case you'd want to rebuild the stringers. Basically, cut them out, lay in new 2x4's or whatever, glass them over.
It could also just be that the bolts worked loose or the wood rotted just locally around them. In either of those cases, you should be able to drill a couple of 1/4" or so holes, clean out the area as best you can, and pour in epoxy to embed the bolts good as new.
Rubber part makers in general say that all rubber parts--including engine mounts--should be replaced every 5 years, as the rubber stiffens or breaks down. So new engine mounts are called for in any case.
Fortunately you're already planning to pull the engine, making the engine mounts a much easier job. (Looking on the brightside.<G>)
