Quick specimen sketch tonight, since I have a few more things I have to get to yet...
This week's Illustration Friday prompt is launch. This flower and seed belong to a plant called Stork's Bill or Filaree (Erodium cicutarium), which is native to the Mediterranean, I believe. Here in North America it's considered a weed, and in some places an invasive one. Once you've got it in growing conditions it likes, it can be hard to keep it from spreading.
That's because it has a sneaky way of planting its own seeds.
The coiled awn you see on the seed acts like a spring, and when the seed is ripe it can be launched up to a half-metre away from the parent plant. But that's not the end of things. Humidity acts on the awn, causing it to coil and uncoil, which in turn causes the seed to drill itself into the ground.
Self-planting. Pretty darned cool.
For a pretty darned cool time-lapse photo of the awl's coiling action, scroll down a bit on this page. And for anyone in Canada who hasn't ever listened to Quirks and Quarks, the radio show the report on the page was taken from... Seriously? You've missed some good popular science then, folks.

I don't remember the first time I saw Bud Ireland. I visited his church as a young teen – but don't recall him. I was a friend of his cousin in middle school, but our paths did not cross. We even worked at Sunrise Manor Nursing Home during the same period in the late 1970s – but we don't remember each other. I think the first time we spoke was when he was serving on Hodgenville City Council and I interviewed him for a story. Our sons were in baseball together – and later, wrestling.
The New Year is just a few weeks old and hopefully your resolutions are still going strong.
But if they're not, here are some tips to sustain your 2014 goals.
Tax time is one of the few opportunities when low-income households receive a sizable amount of money – especially if they take advantage of the earned-income tax credit <http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/EITC-Home-Page—It%E2%80%99s-easier-than-ever-to-find-out-if-you-qualify-for-EITC.
On Feb. 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was born in a cabin outside Hodgen's Mill.
"The high-ceilinged rooms, the little balconies, alcoves, nooks and angles all suggest sanctuary, escape, creature comfort. The reader, the scholar, the browser, the borrower is king." (David McCord)
The Economic Research Service of USDA shared information about the way Americans spend their disposable income when it comes to food. The recession did see a drop in disposable income in 2009, along with a drop in money spent on food, but the amount of disposable income has risen from $8,744 billion in 2009 to $9,754 billion in 2012.
The beginning of a new year offers the opportunity to refresh and reset ourselves in a variety of different ways. Planning ahead now to get organized in the new year can help you feel more prepared for daily life and unexpected situations which may arise over the next few months.
I spent some time with my daughter and her family over the holidays.
A positive attitude affects overall health and well-being. An overall good attitude makes life happier, more enjoyable and it makes various things in life generally easier to carry out. A positive attitude also helps you better react and adjust to life's challenges, relationships and the ability to fight illness and disease. Being positive over our lifespan causes less stress overall and leads to a pathway of healthier living.
I enjoyed this poem from Bonnie Hinds, a University of Tennessee Extension educator, so I wanted to share it. Hopefully we've all followed these safety tips to have a safe and healthy holiday season.

Extending from Gadsden to Ohatchee along state highway 77 near Interstate 59, Neely Henry Lake is the second reservoir in a chain of six on the Coosa River that begins with Weiss Lake on the Georgia border.
Generally a river-run lake, Neely Henry fans out into open water near the dam. Neely Henry Lake covers more than 11,000 acres with almost 350 miles of shoreline in Etowah, St. Clair and Calhoun counties.
Located between Weiss Lake and Logan Martin Lake, Neely Henry is one of the best-kept fishing secrets in Alabama.
Largemouth bass and spotted bass are most often the targets of anglers on Neely Henry, where plumpness for both varieties is close to the top in the state.
There's a great supply of bass on Neely Henry eager to be caught. The lake has excellent populations of both largemouth and spotted bass, as well as bluegill and other sunfish, crappie, catfish, striped bass, hybrid and white bass, and Neely Henry ranked third statewide in the percent of successful anglers per trip.
Alabama Power maintains three public access sites on the lake.
Henry Neely Lake is a part of the Alabama Bass Trail, which will hold a series of tournaments beginning next year and crown the state's first official bassing champion.
The Neely Henry Lake Association is an all-volunteer group of people who live on, or sometimes simply enjoy, the lake and have formalized their efforts to protect both the quality and the quantity of the water and promote safe use of the lake.
The Association supports the Renew Our Rivers project and partners with Alabama Power to create new fish habitats.
A Passion for Lake Living

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Classic Theta model decomposes the original data series into two separate lines, which are extrapolated separately and the forecasts are combined with equal weights. The current study explores a neural network approach to Theta model, in terms of optimizing the combination weights of the two components in the final forecast. The performance of the proposed method (Theta AI) is compared against the original method for the two subsets of the NN3 forecasting competition, which primary objective was the evaluation of methods using neural networks or artificial intelligence for time series forecasting. Results indicate that the new approach is very promising towards the generalization of the Theta model.

There are few holidays that offer so many dog training opportunities as Halloween. I currently have a 15-month-old dachshund, Curtis, who needs to catch up with my other dog's education concerning house rules. Halloween, with lots of foot traffic and ringing of the doorbell, presents the perfect training scenario.
I will not offer Curtis any meals on Halloween — I will use his food, combined with additional yummy treats, during the training process.
I do not wish my dogs to bark when someone rings our doorbell. This is a personal preference; with numerous dogs living indoors, it is paramount to my sanity that all dogs remain quiet when someone comes to the door.
This is easy to accomplish and fun as well. As I hear people coming up the steps, I will toss a handful of treats down the hallway and allow Curtis to begin his cookie hunt. When the doorbell rings, he will be busy on this other task, and he can't possibly bark and eat at the same time. Not only does this prevent the bothersome door barking from becoming a habit, this also reinforces the concept that the sound of the doorbell equals a cookie hunt.
I've been working on Curtis' "Settle" for a while now, and Halloween will offer some great distractions to proof this exercise. When given his "Settle" cue, he is to lie down and remain in that spot until given his release cue. As I hear people coming up the steps, I will give him this "Settle" cue.
Initially, I will toss him a treat about every five seconds, to reinforce his settled position. As the training session progresses, I will raise my expectations and criteria, and will only reinforce about every 10-15 seconds. Once the trick-or-treaters get their loot and leave, I will release him, but not always immediately; his release cue will be given at random times after we have closed the front door, so Curtis doesn't assume that the closing door means it's his time to get up. Of course he'll probably make the mistake of getting up before I cue him to do so; this simply results in me returning to him, and recuing him to "Settle" once again. I don't pay out treats when mistakes are made; I ignore them.
A new cue that I will begin to shape is the "Leave It" cue. Like all cues, this can be taught many ways, and may have different meanings for each individual. In Curtis' world, "Leave It" will mean, "Don't touch it: not now, not ever." I prefer to teach this concept using only items that will never be appropriate for my dog to touch, pick up, or otherwise molest in any way: a roll of toilet paper, the television remote, my guinea pigs, a dish towel, etc.
With Curtis facing me, I will drop the household item at my side; as he moves to investigate it, I will step in front of it, blocking his access, and say "Leave It." Any attempt he makes to get around me to check out the goodie on the floor will be met with me stepping in between him and the item and again repeating, "Leave It." Regardless of how many attempts he makes to get at the item, when he ceases this activity he will be rewarded with praise and a treat from me; he will receive a bonus treat or game of tug if he immediately avoids the dropped item and looks at me instead.
Finally, when he has gotten accustomed to the routine of the evening, I will practice one additional desensitization exercise. People come in all shapes and sizes and can sometimes be rather scary to a dog, particularly on Halloween. With Curtis attached to a leash, I'll bring him to the door with me. About one second after I open the door and he looks at the costumed kids in front of us, I will drop a handful of treats to the floor for him to consume while I hand out candy.
This accomplishes a number of things: strangers at the door equal something good for Curtis, and the treats also keep him in place and quiet, so attempting to go out the door or interact with the kids in any way is prevented.
Have a safe and Happy Halloween, and remember: Chocolate is toxic to dogs, so keep the candy bags out of reach.

Chicago a cappella to Debut New Work by North Park's Rollo Dilworth
CHICAGO (January 31, 2008) — "The singers, as always, brought fire to the stage and had us laughing and even tearful . . ." heralded the Chicago Sun-Times of a recent performance by Chicago
a cappella
, set to perform at North Park University on Saturday, March 1, at 7:30 p.m. to round out the 27th season of Chamber Music at North Park.
A true Chicago treasure with a burgeoning international fan base, this nine-member ensemble enlightens and entertains audiences with repertoire from the ninth to the 21st Century – with a focus on music of the present day. Their inventive March 1 program, an "Evening of Romanticism and Rock 'n' Roll," will feature Brahms, Schubert, and Schumann alongside chartbusters of the 1950s and '60s. And before the evening's end, concertgoers will delight in the debut of a new work, "Roll, Jordan, Roll", composed by Rollo Dilworth, Professor of Music and Director of Choral Programs at the University.
a cappella
members also will lead a master class in Vocal Performance/Vocal Ensemble – open to the public and Chicago-area music students – on Thursday, February 28, at 2:30 p.m. The ensemble includes: Harold Brock, tenor; Michael Boschert, tenor; Matt Greenberg, baritone; Elizabeth Grizzell, mezzo; Kathryn Kamp, soprano; Cary Lovett, tenor; Trevor Mitchell, tenor; Cari Plachy, soprano; Benjamin Rivera, bass; Susan Schober, mezzo; and Brian Streem, baritone. Jonathan Miller is Founder and Artistic Director, and Patrick Sinozich serves as Music Director. For more information, please visit chicagoacappella.org.
All Chamber Music at North Park events are held in North Park University's Anderson Chapel (3225 W. Foster Avenue, Chicago) and open to the public. Tickets are $25 for performances ($15 for seniors 62 years and older, and students) and $10 for master classes. For more information and ticket reservations, call the School of Music at (773) 244-5625.
Master Classes and Lectures
The 27th season of Chamber Music at North Park welcomes music students and members of the public to the campus of North Park University for a series of concerts and – new this year – performer-lead lectures and master classes. "Top-tier tutorials are a great way to welcome music students from other universities to North Park and the School of Music," explains Karen Dickelman, manager of the series. "They also allow chamber music fans to learn from some of the most accomplished performers in the world." Classes and lectures will run approximately two hours and will give students the opportunity to work one-on-one with performers.
Rollo Dilworth and the Power of Music
At North Park since 1996, Rollo Dilworth is Professor of Music and Director of Choral Programs. A successful and sought-after conductor and composer, Dilworth has published over 100 choral compositions and arrangements; a children's musical, "River Child"; and a choral methods book, "Choir Builders". Frequently featured in such publications as the
Boston Globe
, the
Chicago SunTimes
, the
Chicago Tribune
magazine, he asserts that music "has the power to uplift us. It has the power to inspire us. It has the power to communicate to the soul in ways that words can not, I believe." Dilworth earned his doctorate in Choral Conducting Performance from Northwestern University, a Master of Education degree from the University of Missouri-St. Louis, and a bachelor's in Music Education from Case Western University.

Is this correct?
Yes, it is correct. It's all about the density of the material. Some areas even specifically ban the use of concrete for moorings because its underwater weight is a /.55 factor...
For example if you wanted a submerged mooring weight of 3000 pounds (about right for a 27-32 foot boat), and it was made of concrete, you'd really need a 5450 pound block to start with...

Newspaper Publisher Brings First Radio Staton to Grants Pass, Ore.
As It Was - Episode 2258
Radio Station KMED had been operating since the 1920s in Oregon's Rogue Valley when a second radio emerged in the late 1930s with the backing of Grants Pass Courier Publisher Amos Voorhies.The publisher had long been interested in radio, and the newspaper ran regular columns on industry trends and how to build and adjust radios. The Courier installed radio receivers in the Women's Building for the 1922 Josephine County Fair and later in its own offices. People gathered outside the Courier to listen to reports broadcast from far-off locations, and some of the news made the front page of the Courier, as well. In 1933, William B. Smullin and Voorhies built an AM station in Eureka, Calif. Encouraged by their success, they decided to create radio station KUIN in Grants Pass. Affiliated with the Mutual Network, the 100-watt station began broadcasting in 1937, showcasing the community's events and happenings. Like KMED in Medford, KUIN gave Grants Pass community pride. KUIN became known as KAGI in the 1950s. Today those call letters belong to Southern Oregon University's Jefferson Public Radio network. Source: Kramer, Ronald.

While graph theory boomed after Euler's solved the Königsberg Bridge problem, the town of Königsberg had a much different fate. In 1875, the people of Königsberg decided to build a new bridge, between nodes B and C, increasing the number of links of these two landmasses to four. This meant that only two landmasses had an odd number of links, which gave a rather straightforward solution to the problem. The creation of the extra bridge may or may not have been subconsciously caused by the desire for a path to solve the town's famous problem.
However, a new bridge did not solve all of Königsberg's future problems, as the town did not expect back in the nineteenth century, "the sad and war-torn fate that awaited it as host for one of the fiercest battles of WWII." During four days in August 1944, British bombers destroyed both the old town and the northern parts of Königsberg. In January and February 1945, the region surrounding Königsberg is surrounded by Russian forces. German civilians begin to evacuate from the town, but move too late. Thousands of people are killed trying to flee by boat and on foot across the icy waters of the Curonian Lagoon. In April 1945, the Red Army captures Königsberg with about ninety percent of the old town lying in ruins.
A current street map of Königsberg is provided below. This map shows how much the town has changed. Many of the bridges were destroyed during the bombings, and the town can no longer ask the same intriguing question they were able to in the eighteenth century. Along with a greatly different layout, the town of Königsberg has a new name, Kaliningrad, with the river Pregel renamed Pregolya [Hopkins, 6]. While the fate of Königsberg is terrible, the citizens' old coffeehouse problem of traversing each of their old seven bridges exactly one time led to the formation of a completely new branch of mathematics, graph theory.

Library Journal
Prolific historian Bernstein (adjunct, New York Law Sch.) follows up the brief biography Thomas Jefferson with another accessible work of popular history on a weighty topic. In intertwined biographical sketches that synthesize the scholarship of others from a bevy of primary and secondary sources, he succinctly summarizes the accomplishments of iconic early American statesmen and politicians. More interestingly, he also examines the conflicting and wavering legacies of these Revolutionary leaders and crafters of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Bernstein stresses that the founders were noble but imperfect men, not flawless demigods, and his repeated references to the distinction of his approach in this regard can get tiring. Still, it's to his credit that he does not shy away from commenting on what he perceives as a lack of foresight and courage by the founders when crafting laws for the fledgling republic, most notably on the issue of slavery. The endnotes and bibliography are generously annotated, increasing this book's value as a useful starting point for further, more scholarly research. Recommended for general readers seeking an introduction to the legacies, political careers, and disparate roles of these men in the creation and early leadership of a new nation.

"Great Book"
While this is a historical work, the author made relating the story interesting. He did a great job explaining the good and mostly bad decesions made by the characters. The sinking of the Essex was a tradegy, there were not heroes but I felt I understood their motivatiions in most cases.
"Hoping for more"
The was the worse James Patterson book I have read. I finished the book only because I was hoping it would get better. But the ending was a dissappointment, it didn't tie together all the things that had happened to the character.
This book is not up to the standards I expect from Patterson. Maybe the coauther wrote most of it?

[INDIA] Any DIYer made a Gainclone in India. willing to help?
Calling DIYers in India. Anayone made a Gainclone and willing to help with pcb, power supply ideas etc.. I am a complete newbie but would like to make a gainclone. All help appreciated. |

The idea I had of using a [INDIA] tag on the subject line was for something specific to India, ie, where to get components, where to look for raw materials. It was not intended to propogate this very typical mentality all of us Indians seem to share: groupism. I'm sure lots of people from other countries are more than happy to help you out with ideas and advice, not just the few of the members from Bharat So unless you have some info/query which is specific to India, please don't use the [INDIA] tag... if anything, you'll get fewer replies from others. That aside, I believe Tarun has made a gainclone based on the LM3875. I've made a pair based on the LM3886. If memory serves me right, Ashok and a few others have made gainclones based on the Philips ICs (TDA series, I forget the part no.). What kind of specific help are you looking for? |

You have answered your own criticism of my using the India tag. To make a gainclone I would not need to post anything on this forum since there is so much info available on the Net. Especially with BrianGt's excellent user manual. I used the INDIA tag exactly for the purpose of knowing what parts indians were using so as to get an idea of what is available in the local market. Specifially, I wanted to know what capacitors (brand name) and power supply are used. Anyways, lets not quibble since this is also a so called Indian trait. Thanks |

Ok, gotcha. It just wasn't that obvious from your first post what kind of info you were looking for.
Capacitors: I've used Samsung 4700uF/50V x2 (per rail) in a C-R-C form. Each cap is bypassed with a 0.1uF ceramic. The PSU is built on a PCB. You could also look for screw-terminal capacitors and build the PSU without a PCB, although this would be more expensive. I've also put 0.1uF film capacitors across the diodes in the bridge rectifier to reduce switching noise. Others have commented that this is not of much use unless there are small resistors in series with the diodes. This is not an option for me since I have used encapsulated bridges. Attached is a pic of my PSU board. From left to right, you can see the input connectors (green), bridges (black), film caps (yellow), filter caps (blue and gold), resistor (red), output connector (green), fuse holder (black) and ground connector (green). Excuse the lousy quality my webcam puts out... BTW, all these components are locally available, and have not been ordered thru any mail-order firm, etc. Transformers: If you want to use toroidal core trafos (maybe to save space), one good source is Miracle Electronics (www.toroidal.com), they are based in B'lore and will courier transformers to wherever. Their website has an extensive catalogue, and you can email them for a quote. I've used an E-I core for both the amps I've built so far, but one which is now under construction will make use of a 25-0-25 225VA toroid core I bought from Miracle. One problem with Miracle is they are a bit expensive (I paid ~Rs. 1400 for mine, incl shipping + tax). Perhaps the Calcutta local electronics market will have cheaper transformers. For your first amp, you may want to settle for something a bit less expensive. |

Hi roadkill
Thanks for the detailed reply. I am a complete newbie but am really interested in this amp. I was trying to follow BrianGt's schematic. I set out to find 1500uF Panasanic FC caps but no luck. Can I use Samsung 2200uF instead? The MUR860 diodes did not look like the real thing either. I am planning to make the amp on a veroboard. I do not have a PCB source yet. There do not seem to be many DIY from this part of the world on the forum. Well, I am prepared to do the leg work and will post details of shops etc. Once again thanks for you detailed reply. |

You need to first find out if you really need those components and how they make a difference. I for one say there is no difference, but lots of others beg to disagree. In any case, since you're a beginner, and we all make mistakes sometime, it's probably wiser to stick with cheaper components and use whatever is available. Once you get the hang of it, go ahead and splurge on Panasonic caps or whatever else is the flavour of the month.
As for diodes, there have been lots of comments about how diodes introduce switching noise. Often, capacitors are used to suppress this noise. Using a high-speed diode will only make this noise worse, and in the bargain, introduce no benefit electrically. Psycho-acoustic (more psycho than acoustic, if you ask me) effects may still exist, though. Veroboard: problem with that is that most chip amps pins don't lie on 0.1" centres, so you'll have to carefully bend the pins. There actually are plenty of folks from India here, but all seem to be mysteriously silent... *shrug* |

I'm buying a kit from Brian for Rs 2100/-, the basic version. This includes postage to India. You need a cheapo case & transformer after that. Why don't you do the same ? cheers, sunil |

Guys my appologies for interruption in this thread.
My honest suggestion for SUNIL would be, to learn a little more about microchips, amplification and gainclones, however purchasing a full kit doesn't serve the purpose of Do It Yourself philosophy, as you learn nothing out of it just assmeble or solder and put it together. No offence. |

I tend to agree with abidr, you dont learn too much (except soldering, maybe) by buildong a kit. For what it's worth, my 3886 amp board + components cost about Rs 200 each, excluding the ICs.

Does Operating Performance Really Improve Following Mergers? The Case of Malaysian BanksWan Mansor MahmoodUniversity of Technology MARA (UiTM) Rashidah MohamadUniversity of Technology MARA (UiTM) Icfai Journal of Mergers & Acquisitions, Vol. 4, No. 3, pp. 69-78, September 2007 Abstract: This study examines whether the recent bank mergers in Malaysia did create synergies as reflected in corporate operating performance measures. Four accrual operating performance measures are used, i.e. Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Profit Margin (PM), and Earnings Per Share (EPS). Using a sample of eight anchor banks for a sample period beginning 1997 through 2002, the results show that bank mergers had a significant post-merger improvement that is consistent with the findings of Neely and Rochester (1987) who also employed accrual performance measures in their study on savings and loan institutions in the US. The findings suggest that even though the mergers are 'forced' in nature, it can contribute to synergistic benefits. The gain in the post-merger operating performance was mainly due to the provisions for loan loss, which on average was much lower during the post-merger period compared to the pre-merger period. The study also finds that there is insignificant continuance of pre-merger performance into the post-merger period.

L.A. Schools Now Taking Back iPads From Students Who Dare To Use Them For Purposes Of Fun

But now that it's realizing that the temptation to use iPads the way they are intended (and marketed) can be too great for some students, the school district is taking them back. [More]

Federal Courts: Schools Can Punish Students For Off-Campus, Online Speech
In a pair of rulings by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this week, judges sided with students who contended in separate cases that they were unfairly punished for publishing fake MySpace profiles of their principals. But the victories may be construed as defeats for student free speech, because judges' opinions held that students can be punished for speech made off-campus and online if it is deemed to "materially and substantially disrupt the work and discipline of the school." Neither of the cases ruled on earlier this week met that standard. [More]

Just because you live in a small space doesn't mean you can't wiggle your greenthumb. WikiHow has some great suggestion on how people living in less spacious quarters, like students and urbanites, can still let their garden grow.

Released: Oct 01st, 2003
Running Time: 128,96
Director: Bionca Seven
Company: Exquisite Pleasures
T.J. Hart, Justin Slayer, Kiki D'Aire, Mercedes (I), Rebecca (I), Weed, Sledge Hammer, Avy Scott
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Stock in Big Boobs or Interracial.
Directrix Bionca Seven knows how to shoot a hot fuck scene, as she proves five times over in BTBL. Calling on some big names with some great big tits, she lenses each of these scenes stylishly, using creative camera angles - a little fish-eye here, some through-a-chairback there - and maneuvers her players in all sorts of interesting ways for a consistently strokeable wall-to-waller.
Our opener finds lovely Avy Scott vacuuming in pink lingerie (hey, it could happen), when Justin Slayer walks in and gives her something else to clean: his enormous cock. She gives the thing quite a spit-shine, too, with Slayer helping her out at one point by bending down and dribbling a stream of saliva directly into her mouth. He then bends her over the kitchen counter and rams her in doggie for quite some time, after which they move to a wooden chair for some deep-donging with Scott's legs spread-eagle in the air. Toward the end of the scene, Slayer picks Scott up by the ass and bounces her on his dick, in the midst of which she somehow leaps up and plants her pussy on his face. He then sets her down and unleashes his load onto her stuck-out tongue.
There are four more equally great scenes to be enjoyed ... unless, that is, you choose the DVD over the tape. That's right, for some reason, the entire second scene - a boisterous threeway between Slayer, Kiki Daire and Weed - is simply missing from the DVD. The beginning of it is there, with Slayer showing off his new home theater to Weed, but then it just cuts to the following scene with Sledge Hammer and T.J. Hart. Strange. The trade-off is that the Behind the Scenes footage on the DVD is great, featuring, among other things, Daire considering for the first time, apparently, the prospect of her father seeing her movies. So what to do? Rent both, maybe?

Careful there.....Qts Maps and Navigation APIs allow a navigation engine to provide a map to other Qt components. They don't provide any type of mapping or navigation, that requires a third party engine (which they call a service) of which none exist. Its more of a strong data type then anything functional.
As far as it being not just a UI framework..true it is an application framework but really just an option for developing a UX layer on. Other UX layers could use qt as well or they could use their own frameworks. Nothing about meego's design or anything i've seen in any plans requires inter-plugin communication or data sharing. afaik

I don't think that quite right... From a forum post (again PM):
Your ideas align with some of the original ideas for IVIhome/IVItaskbar, which included selecting items from the scrolling taskbar could result in popout of a new taskbar with addition options to the original item select. The IVIhome/taskbar is a sample of possible automotive taskbar. It was not designed by professional designers, rather the rough ideas of a couple of developers. Most of the applications included in MeeGo IVI are borrowed from other devices, and have not been adjusted in any way to fit the IVI style, homescreen or display. They are there only to show the underlaying capabilities of the platform are functional. Thus they are useful for validation of the system features. The only applications that have been developed specifically for MeeGo IVi are the IVIhome/Taskbar and the handsfree dialer.
And here's more from our email exchange:
The GenIVI goals are specific to GenIVI. The MeeGo IVI working group is very interested in work done by GenIVI and any opportunities to provide mutual alignment and support. However GenIVI and MeeGo IVI are not one entity and GenIVI goals should not be interpreted as the sum total of MeeGo IVI goals. The MeeGo IVI working group will define "what MeeGo IVI would look like"
For example if you look at the charter of MeeGo working groups, the focus is on the user experience
(bold is mine) My take from this, specifically for IVI, is that it really hasn't started yet. While there are feature request on the bug.meego.com site, they don't represent actually requirements (as of yet) as they haven't been vetted by the project team. But the end game is going to be a *fully* operational product -- one that can/would be run in a car. And given his last statement about "working groups", it seems this is generally true (ie: for all meego platforms)
Bottom line is that in order to even remotely look like a compelling platform and show off platform features, you need a compelling user experience. I think this is essentially what is being said in your discussions. You can't have an awesome UX without solid APIs and you can't really convince people to use your APIs if they don't see it working in a compelling UX.

The problem is the entire fully independent app design of meego makes this impossible. You would need to specially compile each individual app (and if you remember from our "what ui design is needed for in vehicle" or whatever it was called i feel this is the reason meego has 0 chance of success).When you see MeeGo in BMW or whoever's product based on meego ivi, you probably won't see the same UX as you see in the reference, open source version. However, BMW's build may still be called and considered meego compliant (note that the definition of compliance for IVI has not landed).

I'm not exactly following what you mean there...
Say BMW is based on MeeGo 1.3, you download MeeGo 1.3's (or later) SDK, you build your app and it should run on all 1.3 or later MeeGo systems. If your app is open source, you build it on the public obs server http://cbuild.meego.com and you submit it to one of the public repositories. Once it's on the server, it'll be rebuilt for every target platform and OEMs like BMW can mirror the repo or the entire server for their own purposes.
(NOTE: iirc, OBS can even be used to build closed source applications)
Finally, Qt-Quick apps don't require compiling. So if your app is Qt-Quick based, package it up once and throw it in whichever store you prefer.
If your app draws upon the common components/widgets in any of the MeeGo APIs, it'll automatically look right for the given environment. That's the magic of theming.
So with that information clarified, what's the issue again?

Should BMW want to create a new UX they would need to rewrite each app to match the layout they need for their UX. The idea of theming is great for the linux os where some people want red progress bars and others want transparent blue but the only layout it can effect is the titlebar (which meego doesn't use). My argument is the entire idea of the platform is far too inflexible for real world use.
To prove my point how much work would it be to do this:

Given my description of IVI -- we can mesh this all togather...
1. The IVI is a specialized version of the Core. It would provide things like the kernel, backends for things like USB, GPS, speech, mapping, music, video, etc. It would also proivde APIs for building the UX.
2. Companies can then pick & choose the features from the IVI and create a UX on top of it -- using the provided APIs if desired (well, some will have to be used to interface with the backends)
3. A default UX will be created to prove how great the IVI is... (good point trip)
so justchat is right, each company will have rewrite apps for thier environment -- which may or maynot be that hard depending on what decisions they made up front. But I wouldn't call this inflexible. Actually, it allows the car guys to figure out ways to differentiate themselves in a competitive market.
Now on to other issues (to help in future status discussions):
As has been noted, Meego 1.1 has been released. What does that mean? Only that it's newer than 1.0. Across all the platforms the same numbering scheme is going to be used. But that doesn't mean they are at the same level of maturity. The Netbook UX is the most mature of the released products, while I wouldn't consider the 1.1 IVI to actually be *released*. Until actual requirements for what the IVI will actually look like, I would consider it pre alpha, at best. Looking at the release numbers will not tell you when that happens, so I will make sure to note what level of maturity it's at when I talk about future releases.
I'm quite aware of the differences between skins and themes.
Exactly. Like I said before, GenIVI members probably don't care about what UX MeeGo comes with. They, in all likelihood are going to do just that: rewrite their own UX layer as a way they can differentiate themselves in the market. The idea isn't uncommon. There are quite a few Android phones where the OEM has designed their own UX on top of Android as a way to differentiate themselves from other Android phones.Should BMW want to create a new UX they would need to rewrite each app to match the layout they need for their UX.
Now how 3rd party apps work in such an environment where designs contrast greatly is still a question. But who knows if BMW, etc will even allow 3rd party apps on their platform. Maybe they'll require all 3rd party apps to be specifically written to their platform. I doubt it would be any different for any other platform. If BMW took open mobile and re-skinned it to match their UI design, a 3rd party plugin which is laid out in accordance with the original design is going to look out of place unless re-skinned as well.
Another option is, if the reference UX is written in QML, then the OEMs have the option of forking and re-skinning to match their designs (which is one reason why the reference apps are all Apache v2 licensed). Even if they are C++, they are open source and licensed in such a way that allows OEMs to take and change they way they look/function. Or they have the option of just re-theming and keeping the original layout and design. Lots of options here so how is this in anyway inflexible? Flexibility, in reality, is all about choice.

"Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed" When examining any society, one of the most important aspects of a civilization is the amount of education it has attained. Joseph Stalin was right when he said that the effects of education depends upon who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed. Education is by far a kingdom of knowledge that can only lead to eternal success provided one is dedicated and diligent in the efforts he or she makes. Educating a child is like hand-painting, you don't want to force too hard and neither do you want to press too gently. A blend of the right paints and an artists impression is what makes a picture perfect and so education should be treated in the same manner. Educating the youth allows their minds to develop and blossom like the petals of a flower, if even one petal falls of, the rose looks incomplete and thus any flaw in one's educational background forces life to turn in a totally different direction. At BIS not only do we provide education, we exemplify what education is and how it should be practiced. Our school is built on a tradition and lays on a foundation which integrates exemplary instruction, design, research and technology. The British International School is the recognized center of excellence for British education in Pakistan. We provide our students with a broad-based curriculum and apply our motto of 'excellence' to education, sports and extra-curricular activities. The school offers a unique educational experience which develops self-reliance and the ability to form opinions and make judgments based on knowledge and skills students acquire for themselves and not just information that they have learned from the pages of books. It is our aim to provide our students with the education that they will need to face the challenges of the 21st century. Please come and visit the school and see a true British education here in Pakistan. Lamiya Al-Shiekhly Head of Centre

This A++ list diva and A+ list singer/celebrity was at dinner this week
. She ordered dessert. She was informed though that another woman had ordered the last of the desserts right before our diva and sorry, but would our diva like anything else. The diva called over the manager and told him that if he ever wanted the business of our diva again that he would tell the first woman who ordered that she was out of luck. The manager refused. Our diva got up and walked out and said that no one from her family would ever patronize the place again. Two days later her A+ list celebrity husband showed up and dropped $50K at the place while snuggling with someone, most definitely not his wife.

I need help installing the latest version of Haskell Platform (x86_64) from source on Ubuntu 12.10 (self.haskellquestions)
submitted 2 years ago by mjok
Can someone post some detailed instructions? I understand that the process involves the following steps:
For Step 1, I enter the following commands:
$ tar -xjvf ghc-7.6.2-x86_64-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 $ cd ghc-7.6.2 $ sudo ./configure
I get stuck here; with the following console output:
checking for path to top of build tree... utils/ghc-pwd/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-pwd: error while loading shared libraries: libgmp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory configure: error: cannot determine current directory
I understand that the underlying cause is probably unresolved dependencies, but I could not find the list of dependencies on the website. Please help!
Why isn't the Haskell Platform installer available as a neat .deb for impatient idiots like me? There isn't even a PPA anywhere with the latest binaries.

Claim: A 17-year-old girl named Yohana Ravelo is missing.
Example: [Collected via e-mail, September 2007]
Origins: Once again a "missing child" Internet-circulated alert proves to be a hoax. The appeal to aid in the hunt for 17-year-old Yohana Ravelo began circulating in the online world in mid-September 2007. Like the Evan Trembley leg-pull, this was yet another case of teens pulling a practical joke on the online As a bit of general advice, it's usually a good idea to be suspicious of "missing child" alerts that fail to describe what the youngster was wearing on the day he or she disappeared or give information about where and when the kid was last seen ("missing for two days now" and last seen "on Friday" aren't of much use when the date of the disappearance isn't provided). As another bit of general advice, before passing along any "help find this child" alert, look at some of the online missing children databases — chances are, if the youngster is really missing, at least one of them will provide information about the case. For example, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), America's Most Wanted's missing children page, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's Missing Children Information Clearinghouse fail to serve up entries about a 17-year-old Florida girl named Yohana Ravelo, which likely wouldn't be the case if such a teen had been abducted. This is a hoax and nothing but. The contact e-mail address given in the alert is non-existent, and the phone number provided (786.718.1144) belongs to However, most tellingly, discussion on the MySpace page belonging to the "missing" girl makes it clear the abduction alert originated with one of the friends.
