Spearhead Innovations Introduces New Version of Product Acoustic Signature System ''PASS'' and GSA Availability; Enhanced Durability of Inspection Device Will Aid National Security and Public Safety Efforts.
PASS was developed to meet a growing worldwide demand for rapid inspection for both commercial and government sectors. The new durable PASS unit can withstand harsh weather conditions and around the clock operations in difficult environments, supporting the interrogation of hard to reach containers such as palletized barrels or hidden fuel tanks. The new unit also features a longer battery life and enhanced protection of the processing unit.
The PASS unit continues to be purchased and used in a variety of missions worldwide, including operations in over 13 countries. Recent sales include the City of Baltimore Fire Department. The unit can now be purchased off the GSA Federal Supply Schedule under contract number GS-07F-5897R.
Voted one of the Most Technologically Significant Products in the world by R&D Magazine, PASS launches ultrasonic sound waves into containers, analyzing and comparing the returned echoes with a database of known liquids and solid materials. In a matter of seconds, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), displays the contents, eliminating valuable time and manpower needed to inspect sealed containers. In addition, information gathered by PASS can be downloaded to a personal computer for further analysis.
Rapid inspection of sealed containers such as shipping barrels, tanker trucks, and railroad tanker cars is a critical and vitally important task facing organizations charged with ensuring national security, maintaining public safety, and enforcing government policies. PASS is currently being used by international and national law enforcement and inspection organizations to support anti-drug, anti-terror, border security, and weapons inspection activities. A list of agencies and organizations that use PASS include: US Department of Homeland Security, US Army, US Air Force, US Department of Energy, and the United Nations.
Spearhead Innovations has a strong reputation and proven track record for developing and implementing innovative products that work in the real world. Spearhead also provides ongoing technology development services on longer term projects. For more information on PASS or to schedule a demonstration, please call 703.413.5090; email: email@example.com or visit www.spearheadinnovations.com/pass.

Verrückt, the world's tallest water slide, reaches higher than many of the most notable landmarks on Earth.
Conceptualized in November 2012 by Jeff Henry, construction commenced in mid-2013. Shown here is a view down the hill from what would become the base of Verrückt.
Steel columns made from former railroad tanks were cut and refitted to form the water slide's tower.
Portions of Tower 1 are loaded onto a truck and headed to Kansas.
The first section of the steel tower, weighing 35,000 pounds, is lifted to be set in place.
Crews begin the process of bolting sections 1 and 2 together.
The spline of Verruckt is erected.
A look at the fiberglass arch before its placed atop what eventually would be named the world's tallest water slide on April 25.
More fiberglass sections are lifted into place and attached to the spline.
Portions of the 264 steps leading up to the top platform are put in place.
The construction crew reaches another milestone when it places the platform on top.
A look at the conveyor belt that will lift the four-person rafts to the top of the slide.
While the former tallest water slide in the world, Kilimanjaro in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, relies on a hill for the bulk of its height, Verrückt's height comes from concrete and steel.
It's official. Verrückt is named the world's tallest waterslide, bumping the competition, Kilimanjaro in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which held the title for 10 years.
It's official. Schlitterbahn Waterparks & Resorts' Verrückt is the world's tallest water slide.
Thanks to leaks of photos and video footage, the new attraction has been making headlines for months and finally will make its public debut May 23. But during a ceremony April 25, the slide was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records.
Measuring 168 feet, 7 inches high, Verrückt dethroned the Kilimanjaro slide in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, by just 4 feet, 10 inches.
The process to determine the exact height of the slide is a precise one involving lasers and special surveying tools, according to reports. Third-party witnesses also were on hand to verify the measuring process.
The true testament, however, will come from patrons who answer the question #RUInsane and take the plunge in the four-person raft down the extreme attraction.
The construction process will be featured in Travel Channel's one-hour season premiere of "Xtreme Waterparks," which airs on Sunday, June 29.
Until then, however, here's a look at some construction images that take us from the beginning of the dig to the final measuring ceremony. Additional photos and videos also are available at schlitterbahnnews.com and schlitterblog.com.

Steve Peeks: OTHERWORLD: Ancient Evidence of Parallel Universes
in News
Is Stonehenge a stone hinge?
As early as 10,000 years ago early man knew of parallel universes. Not from Quantum theoretical models but from face-to-face interaction with their denizens.
Over the last thirty years television series and movies focused on the public's thirst for inexplicable phenomena. The growing number of books devoted to works explaining everything from UFO's to Stonehenge are testaments of continuing and increasing interest.
Each theory is specialized, honed to explain a specific mystery. Each generates more opponents than supporters. What if a single theory unified and explained a majority of these enigmas? What if the same theory reached back into our past and demonstrated ancient people dealt with these same mysteries? Otherworld presents such a theory, a theory born from a single question: What if Stonehenge really was a stone hinge?
Steve began writing full time in 2012. Though he wrote and managed to have a couple of books published during his life, something clicked a few years ago and now, for better or worse, he sits at his table researching and writing about things that interest him.
Steve's forty year career in the game industry allowed him to travel extensively and explore histories and myths of peoples and places. He loves all things ancient and digs deep into lore and enigmas.

Old Member first time Photos.
Hello. I've been a member of garden web for several years. Here are some photos of our house plants. We bought them mainly for their qualitys of purifing the air, so they remain indoors all year. We live in a pre mfg home and they are known for use of lethal chemicals. Well, here are the photos. Hope you like them..
This post was edited by simplegreenguy on Tue, Sep 3, 13 at 6:17
Very pretty house plants. They are all very healthy looking!! I'm guessing both occupants enjoy plants :). Ive always wondered if a couple both liked plants, what it would look like. Now I think I've found the answer!! (houseful) lol ! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for all the nice comments . My wife and I buy and sell antiques and collectibles we bought the plant stand and vase at a flea market. The vase was made by a child im sure but I thought it would work as a funky Tilly stand. Ill be looking and reading all of your postings and photos.I really enjoy garden web just wish my typing was better should have not goofed off in typing class. I thought that was one class I would never use (boy was I wrong.
My Mom learned to type in her late 50's, you can do it!! I downloaded an interactive teaching thing on her computer which she played with periodically for a couple weeks, and she can get along on the keyboard pretty well now. She emails her friends a lot, so must be doing it fast enough that it's not frustrating her (like a friend of mine from HS who sees me on FB and calls because she can't even respond to everything I can type. She calls, cussing me out right away, hilarious!) They also have 'talk to text' software. That might work for you (but still creeps me out, reminds me of Tommyknockers by Stephen King!)
So how long have you had that Pothos? As far as potted ones go, those are some of the biggest leaves I've seen. Has it always been dangling? It looks like the biggest leaves are near where the stem emerges from the soil?
Thanks for the typing points I will check them out. unfortunely I goofed off in ENGALISH class also and I do not know where to place punctuations. I started the pothos from a cutting aprox 2 years ago. For the most part it has been dangling. It is near a north window and seems to be doing ok.Most of my plants were either cuttings or started very small with the exception of the big peace lily which came from my father in laws funeral. The photo is a little fuzzy Ill try to post a better one
Morning All,
Simple Green. You found nice-looking pots at flea markets. I totally forgot they existed.
Antiques and containers can be found at garage/yard and estate sales. Reasonable prices, too.
Hey Purp. Did you know SK wrote a follow-up of The Shining called Doctor Sleep? Can't wait until it's out on paperback.
I never read Tommyknockers.
Simple Green. Continue telling the wife how important plants are, healthwise. That's one great excuse.
I tell my dh how plants liven up the house. :)
Hey Marquest. I guess it depends the type of bugs you mean. lol. Toni

Tesla says 4 states still in the running for $5B battery factory
- Mike Sunnucks, Phoenix Business Journal
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said yesterday that the competition for Tesla Motors planned $5 billion electric battery factory might be down to three states.
A Tesla spokeswoman said today four states still are in the running for the plant.
"The original four states — Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Nevada — are still in the running, and those are the only states we are considering for the Tesla gigafactory,†said company spokeswoman Alexis Georgenson.
Tesla is looking at places such as Tucson, Pinal County and Buckeye in Arizona, Reno, Nev., Albuquerque, N.M., and San Antonio, Texas, for the 6,500-worker factory.
A number of site selection and real estate executives believe a site at the Reno Stead Airport in northern Nevada is the front runner to land the much coveted plant.

Bank notes stay traditional
Bills depicting gay marriage, black hockey players nixed
OTTAWA -- The Bank of Canada considered celebrating gay marriages, black hockey players, and turban-wearing RCMP officers on its new plastic bank notes -- but eventually nixed them all in favour of the more traditional images of a train, a ship and a monument.
Internal documents show focus groups and a Bank of Canada team reviewed a series of currency images intended in part to reflect the diversity of Canada's population, particularly the country's varied ethnic character.
Images that were considered included a Chinese dragon parade, the swearing in of a new citizen, Toronto's annual Caribbean festival, children of different ethnic backgrounds playing hockey or building a snowman, and a person in a wheelchair playing basketball.
The image catalogue was drawn up in 2008 by The Strategic Counsel, a market research firm hired for $476,000 to help the bank decide how to illustrate its new series of polymer $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills. The first note, the $100, began circulating in November 2011.
Drawing on focus-group discussions and workshops with Canadians in six cities, the consultant found strong support for themes of "diversity, inclusiveness, acceptance of others/multiculturalism." Eventually, 41 image ideas covering several themes were tested and given scores.
Among the highest-rated images were those of children of different ethnic backgrounds building a snowman; faces of individuals from different cultures celebrating Canada Day; an image of a hand of many colours; and children of different ethnic backgrounds playing hockey. These selections were then presented by the Bank of Canada team to officials at Finance Canada for further vetting.
Many images proposed at the start of the process did not make the cut. Rejected were illustrations of a gay marriage, an RCMP officer wearing a turban, and "hockey with a twist... with a black player."
The reasons for early rejection are not clear in the heavily censored documents, obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act.
The images that were finally approved for the reverses of the five new bills -- the last two denominations, the $5 and $10, are being released later this year -- lack reference to Canada's diversity of ethnicity, culture and colour.
The final images that were chosen all appear in the original 2008 lists. The $5 note will show robotic arms built for space programs and the $10 note, a train. The $20 note depicts the Vimy Ridge memorial in France, while the $50 has a picture of an icebreaker. The Queen and prime ministers occupy the fronts of the notes.
An earlier, uncirculated version of the $100 note, illustrating the theme of medical innovations, showed a female medical researcher with distinctly Asian features. But later focus groups raised questions about her ethnicity, prompting the bank to erase the Asian features in favour of a Caucasian-looking woman.
When The Canadian Press broke the story about the erasure last August, spokesman Jeremy Harrison said the Bank of Canada was striving for "neutral ethnicity" in its depictions of people on bank notes.
Harrison referred to "the bank's long-held principles for bank note design, one of which is to avoid depicting any particular ethnic group when including people as representative images of a theme on a bank note."
Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney within days apologized for the incident, saying the design process would be reviewed "in light of these events. ...Our bank notes belong to all Canadians."
Asked why the bank in 2008 considered depicting people of different ethnic backgrounds when it was contrary to the institution's "long-held principles," Harrison said focus groups were given "the freedom to generate the widest possible range of ideas."
He also said the image lists from 2008 were themselves not final, but winnowed further in 2009 for presentation and approval by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty in January 2010. Harrison declined followup questions: "We have nothing further to add."
The Strategic Counsel reports and image lists from 2008 contain other sometimes surprising elements that did not make the grade:
-- Images of hockey were rejected by some as they would "glorify a violent sport."
-- Suggested military images sparked controversy arising from Canada's role in Afghanistan, and from some people's preference for peacekeeping over warfare. The Vimy Ridge memorial, which was the image chosen for the $20 note, was seen as "sufficiently distant in time."
-- A suggestion to depict ice wine was rejected by some because "alcohol should not be shown on bank notes."
-- Proposals to depict "safe cities" and Canada's so-called "no gun" culture were rejected because the theme might not endure over the lifetime of the bank notes, e.g., cities might become more crime-ridden.
-- Aboriginal art was snubbed by a few participants because "enough had been done by way of promoting aboriginal art."
-- Images that included snow "may become more controversial should global warming progress," and are best avoided, said some.
-- Pictures of wind turbines and solar panels were rejected because "clean energy is a controversial concept."
-- Portraits of Terry Fox, Liberal prime minister Lester Pearson, and medicare trailblazer Tommy Douglas were all nixed.

I got myself a new hobbywing Xerun 150a Esc with hobbywing 2200kv motor for my erevo.
I do not understand from the notice exactly what the timing setting represents.
Apparently it needs to be adjusted for each specific motor, and it will have an impact on the way the motor performs, but my understanding does not go further than that.
Could anyone help?
Thanks already!

David Foster Wallace: On LineIt's easy to miss the small things when trying to scale a mountain all alone, obsessed with simply planting one foot after another. Same goes for books so long that reading them seems like scaling K2. With its 1,000-plus pages and 300-plus endnotes, David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest is precisely such a doorstop. And now, it has its own literary sherpa.InfiniteSummer.org is a virtual book club that guides readers through the novel in 75-page chunks (not including endnotes) every week for three months. On the Web site, where discussion forums have been created, "spoilers" are verboten; you can talk only about the pages that everyone should have read by each week's end. What makes this different from your run-of-the-mill book club? In the old-school system, you'd have a hard time finding more than one or two people with enough nerve (and time) to join a traditional Jest confab. A virtual meeting place not only approximates a book club's sense of community, but brings a crowdsourced,...

Trash Talking Doesn't Scare MeUsain Bolt emerged from Beijing as perhaps the biggest Olympic track star in half a century, and the first man to win both the 100- and 200-meter sprints, both in world-record times. The ease of his long stride, and the joyful Jamaican dance pose he struck in victory, made him a pop celebrity to millions. The head of the International Olympic Committee said his victory pose did not befit a champion. No matter; Bolt's agent, Ricky Simms, is working to make him another Tiger Woods, the first sprinter to earn more than $10 million a year. In Toronto to accept the Laureus World Sports Award for sportsman of the year, Bolt talked about his future with NEWSWEEK'S Tony Emerson. Excerpts: ...

An Opportunity for TehranMaziar Bahari is a NEWSWEEK reporter, a documentary filmmaker, a playwright, author, artist, and, since June 21, a prisoner being held in Iran without formal charges or access to a lawyer. The Iranian state press has attached Bahari's name to a "confession" made in vague terms and conditional tenses about foreign media influence on the unrest in Iran that followed the declaration of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's reelection on June 12.Some in the government of Iran would like to portray Bahari as a kind of subversive or even as a spy. He is neither. He is a journalist, a man who was doing his job, and doing it fairly and judiciously, when he was arrested. Maziar Bahari is an agent only of the truth as best he can see it, and his body of work proves him to be a fair-minded observer who eschews ideological cant in favor of conveying the depth and complexity of Iranian life and culture to the wider world. Few have argued more extensively and persuasively, for instance, that Iran's...
We Read It So You Don't Have to: 'Free'Chris Anderson's free unpacks a paradox of the online market-place—people making money charging nothing.

Highlights:In November 2008, Monty Python gave away popular clips on YouTube. By February its DVD sales were up 23,000 percent on Amazon. This is win-win "freeconomics": because some pay a premium, everyone gets to graze for nothing.Consumers win, too. Economists say everything carries a cost—even if it's hidden or distributed—but the "cost" of online infotainment is so distributed that it's imperceptible. ...

Getting Away With MurderIt's a sad irony: as the world celebrates the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Russia is relapsing into some of its Soviet ways. Much of what we've been seeing with the intimidation of journalists in Iran is routine in Russia—in fact, for reporters, Russia is now more dangerous than it was even during the Cold War. Seventeen have been murdered since 2000; in only one case has the killer been punished. Only Iraq and Algeria have worse records.Any state that turns a blind eye toward the assassination of reporters can't call itself a democracy. When our own democracy was in its earliest days, Patrick Henry said, "The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure when transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them." In Russia today, the rulers' transactions are ever more concealed. Most disturbing, as truth tellers are felled by assassins' bullets, the Russian people have responded with a giant shrug. The reason for this apathy is obvious: the vast...

Obama Arrives in MoscowPresident Obama just arrived in Moscow. First stop: He and First Lady Michelle Obama will lay flowers at the Russian Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, just off Red Square. Then it's off to the Kremlin, where Obama will meet one on one with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. They'll have a press conference later this afternoon--er well, morning to you guys back home. Two things of note so far: Local TV did not show Air Force One's arrival in Moscow so maybe there's something to those reports about the Russians being totally blasé about the president of the United States being in town. (Your Gaggler and other reporters not in the press pool today instead were witness to yet another interview with Jermaine Jackson. Thanks CNN!)
