Vehicle Tire Blowouts: Avoiding deadly consequences
The easiest way to remain safe from a tire blow-out is to prevent the occurrence. The proper inflation of tires, monitoring the wear, and routine inspection of tires is the proper course to avoid the occurrence. Regardless of proactive measures, the event can still occur.
The puncture of the tire is the most common cause while hitting a curb, low tire pressure, normal wear out and tire malfunction are some other causes. As a law enforcement driver, it is best to be prepared for the event and have the knowledge to prevent a tragic consequence.
The first indication of a blow-out will be a tremendous, booming sound going throughout the vehicle. This is a critical point for the officer. The first action is to avoid panic and to not overreact. The instinct of many could be to brake hard or steer the vehicle. This could lead to tragic consequences. The sound of a tire blow-out can be scary but that is all. The dynamics of a vehicle will not cause it to crash, the driver's actions could.
Following a blow-out, vehicles have a tendency to pull toward the side of the deflated tire. If the driver reacts by jerking the steering wheel or pressing the brakes to compensate, the loss of control could be disastrous.
The proper action following a blow-out is to slightly accelerate. This will keep the vehicle momentum constant and will compensate for the pulling of the vehicle towards the flat tire. The steering wheel should be held straight and firm. Once the vehicle is under control and away from traffic, the driver should decelerate or brake lightly to stop the vehicle.
Michelin North America has been a Tire Safety Leader as it relates to law enforcement officers. Thousands of officers and driving professionals have been trained by Michelin and the techniques described in this article have been conducted repeatedly with success. A Tire blow-out does not mean collision or tragedy. Law Enforcement Officers will continue to drive their vehicles in emergency situations and under adverse conditions. It is important that in the event of a tire blow-out, law enforcement officers have the knowledge to keep themselves and others safe.

I was wondering if the audiophile guys can recommend a pair of headphones for the office that look different than the usual fare and preform well? Looked at the panasonic rphx7 But im concerned these may be on the low end of sound quality due to price. Anything in the 100$ give or take range? these koss pro3aa's look pretty solid and got great reviews on cnet. eskuche Havent heard of these guys, any experiences? these aiaiai's look very unique, and cnet had a good review. It doesnt seem like they would isolate the sound much however. What are features I should look for when making my decision? Thanks, E

Updated NFLDC Mock Draft: 12/15/08
It's common knowledge that the Rams have been aching to address their offensive line for a while now and unlike last year, when Jake Long was selected one pick ahead of them, they should have no trouble landing a top blocker in the 2009 NFL Draft. Orlando Pace has been one of the best in the business for more than a decade but he is now in his mid-30's and injuries have really begun to take their toll. On the other side former first round pick Alex Barron continues to disappoint and the Rams would like nothing more than to bring in a capable replacement. Andre Smith is a couple inches shorter than most elite left tackle prospects and he has had a tendency to get a little heavy at times but there is no denying his talent. A dominating run blocker who is also light on his feet and athletic enough to hold his own against top sack artists in pass protection, Smith should be one of the first few players off the board next April and he will be in the mix for the #1 overall pick. If Smith is gone the Rams could turn their attention to either Eugene Monroe or Jason Smith. The Rams could also use a true #1 cornerback so Malcolm Jenkins might be a possibility and don't rule out Aaron Curry, who could man the strongside or the middle in St. Louis.

As long as its OL I don't care
-12-15-2008 #3
Re: Updated NFLDC Mock Draft: 12/15/08
When we lost yesterday's game and got the #2 pick (for now) in the draft I felt good that we could take A. Smith. The other tackles like Monroe, Oher or J. Smith are not Top 5 picks and they will not drop out of Round 1. If we lose out on Smith then we'll probably need to pick Jenkins, but we'll have to settle for a tier 2 or 3 OT at that point. This is a deep draft for OL, so I've read.
I'm hoping we can secure another 2nd round pick via trade because I'd like to see us take Scott McKillop (ILB) from Pitt, but at #34 he's a reach. He's a tackling machine and we need players who can tackle. We can move Witherspoon back to his natural outside spot and have him pass rush on the side of Adenjayu who's a better run stopper when he's in there. I'm expecting Little will be scaling back as he's getting older and his skills have seemed to erode based on his play this year. With Long on the other side we'd have a pretty good pass rush going this way. Of course everyone has to stay reasonably healthy.
Go Rams!

Re: Updated NFLDC Mock Draft: 12/15/08
Max Unger is the first Center taken, and the only in the first?
1. Who is Max Unger?
2. This would leaves Mack open for a second round pick, when it was previously thought he would be taken at this point. Would you want the Rams to go OL/OL in this years draft?
-12-15-2008 #6
Re: Updated NFLDC Mock Draft: 12/15/08
We probably won't need another second rounder to take McKillop. Unless he has an insane workout, I doubt he's selected on the first day. That being said, if we're upgrading from Witherspoon at MLB, I'd think about someone with a bit more size. Love McKillop's fire on the field though.
Offensive lineman for Oregon. He's pretty versatile, could potentially play anywhere on the line. Mack is generally considered to be the better center because he's a true fit there, whereas Unger could play a couple of different places. If teams view him as a potential left tackle, he'll shoot up the board.
Centers aren't as highly regarded in the NFL so it wouldn't be shocking if Mack ended up slipping a bit. Remember, Ryan Kalil was viewed as a potential first round center and fell into the mid to late second two years ago.
Obviously it would depend on who is on the board, but in theory I'd be fine with it. We need young future starters at both LT and C, and this could knock it out right there. It'd be even better if we had a defensive-heavy free agency period, because then I think we'd feel better about skipping over defense in the first two rounds of the draft. Because let's face it, the defense could use as much attention as the OL, really.
-12-15-2008 #7
Re: Updated NFLDC Mock Draft: 12/15/08
I say if Alex Mack is available when we pick in the second round, we should immediately draft him. That would mean we would have two very high caliber blockers added to our trenches, which would almost solidify our o-line.
-12-16-2008 #8Mooselini Guest
Re: Updated NFLDC Mock Draft: 12/15/08
I really want the OT pick in the first round. He will most likely start over Barron. What we do with Barron, I could honestly careless.
But this OT we pick in the first round will be Barron's current replacement and Pace's future replacement.

GCSRL - A Logic for Stochastic Reward Models with Timed and Untimed Behaviour
Kuntz, Matthias and Haverkort, Boudewijn R. (2007) GCSRL - A Logic for Stochastic Reward Models with Timed and Untimed Behaviour. In: Eighth International Workshop on Performability Modeling of Computer and Communication Systems, 20-21 Sept 2007, Edinburgh, UK (pp. pp. 50-56).
112kB |
Abstract: | In this paper we define the logic GCSRL (generalised continuous stochastic reward logic) that provides means to reason about systems that have states which sojourn times are either greater zero, in which case this sojourn time is exponentially distributed (tangible states), or zero (vanishing states).
In case of generalised stochastic Petri nets (GSPNs) and stochastic process algebras it turned out that these vanishing states can be very useful when it comes to define system behaviour. In the same way these states are useful for defining system properties using stochastic logics. We extend both the semantic model and the semantics of CSRL such that it allows to attach impulse rewards to transitions emanating from vanishing states. We show by means of a small example how model checking GCSRL formulae works. |

360 Night Panorama: Trailer, Hubcaps, Windshields, etc.
We continued to explore more of the amazing photographic terrain of the Valley Junkyard during this month's night photography workshop. One night we had some really great clouds, and I shot a few 360 panoramas. The old trailer, piles of hubcaps, and rows of windshields on racks made for interesting subject material. Clicking the image above will take you to an interactive version of the panorama.
B&H Travel Series: How to Shoot 360-Degree Panoramas
B&H Photo just published an article that I wrote on How to Shoot 360-Degree Panoramas. This 360 pano article is part of the B&H Travel Series. I cover everything from iPhone panorama apps to professional panoramic heads. Thanks to night photographer and B&H marketing guru Gabriel Biderman for this opportunity to inspire more people to shoot 360s. Enjoy!
Boron Air Force Station 360 Night Panorama
The Mojave Desert...in July? Yes! During last week's full supermoon I spent 2 nights shooting 360 panoramas at the abandoned Boron Air Force Station. Boron AFS was built in the 1952 as part of the Air Defense Command radar network. After being decommissioned in 1975, Boron was used as a Federal prison from 1979-2000. The radome is still operated by the FAA.
Temperatures were 100º in the daytime, and in the 80's at night. The monsoon season brought fantastic clouds both nights. I was shooting with the Canon EOS 6D, and used the built-in GPS feature to record the location of each panorama. Setting the GPS to record positioning at 2 minute intervals seemed to have barely any affect on battery life. A screenshot of the Lightroom maps module for the shoot is below. The GPS coordinates also get picked up by Pano2VR, which will save a lot of time when building a virtual tour.
You clicked the image at the top and looked at the 360 pano already, right?
Update 8/25/14: There are 14 panoramas in the night tour of Boron AFS. I'm still adding panos, and hope to have a tour with 25+ panos and a map when everything is done.
Sony a7R vs. Canon EOS 6D: Long Exposure Noise Tests, HDR Bracketing, Panoramas and More
I've wanted to try the Sony a7R ever since I read Fred Miranda's review on using the a7R with Canon lenses. In addition to a sizable jump in resolution over the Canon 6D and 5D Mark III, the a7R's 36 megapixel full frame sensor reportedly has better dynamic range. The ability to lift the shadow details in underexposed a7R files is really impressive. Not having an optical low pass filter also makes these files quite sharp straight out of the camera. The a7R's sensor has offset gapless micro-lenses to help with wide angle corner performance.
Would these benefits improve image quality, resolution, and workflow for my type of shooting? What were the trade offs? I rented a Sony a7R and Metabones Canon to Sony adapter from LensRentals.com to find out.
360 Panoramas: Sony a7R vs. Canon 6D
I often shoot 360 panoramas in 4 shots on the EOS 6D with a Canon 8-15mm fisheye lens. The final file is 10,500 x 5250 (55 megapixels). The same lens and shooting pattern on the Sony a7R results in 14,000 x 7,000 (98 megapixels). This resolution gain allows more zooming online, and bigger prints. The 6D would require 6 shots around, 1 up, and 1 down to achieve this resolution.
The a7R files look sharper out of the camera, and wide angle lens edge performance is just as sharp at the edges as the 6D, if not better. The ability to lift shadow detail without a noise penalty is really impressive.
HDR Bracketing: Sony a7R vs. Canon 6D
For those of you who shoot HDR, it's important to note that the a7R's exposure bracketing options are more limited than on Canon.
Canon EOS 6D: Versatile HDR bracketing options Set your own exposure level increment in 0.3 stop intervals. Decide whether you want 2, 3, 5 or 7 shots.
Sony a7R: Fixed/Limited HDR bracketing options 0.3 stops/3 shots - 0.3 stops/5 shots 0.5 stops/3 shots - 0.5 stops/5 shots 0.7 stops/3 shots - 0.7 stops/5 shots 1.0 stop/3 shots - 2.0 stops/3 shots - 3.0 stops/3 shots
Most of the time, a 3 shot bracket at 2 stop intervals is enough for what I shoot. Occasionally I'll shoot a 5 shot bracket every 2 stops with the 6D. That's not an option on the a7R. Considering the added dynamic range of the a7R, perhaps the 3 shot 3.0EV bracketing would work OK though.
Conclusion: Despite the bracketing limitations, the a7R's extra sharpness, resolution, and dynamic range could be a big plus for the 360 panorama shooting that I do.
Long Exposure Noise: Sony a7R vs. Canon 6D
For night photography, having a camera that can produce clean files without the need to run long exposure noise reduction (LENR) is really helpful. When LENR is turned on in most cameras, noise reduction runs after your exposure finishes.
If your shot is 5 minutes, the camera runs noise reduction for an additional 5 minutes before you can shoot again. During that 5 minutes that camera takes a dark frame that is used to subtract noise and hot pixels from your photo. This process is great for image quality, but can significantly cut into your productivity and battery life.
I know from experience that the Canon EOS 6D is clean in the 6-8 minute exposure range without using LENR (as long as the weather is cold). I was curious to see how the Sony a7R stacked up for night photography. I ran the cameras through a series of tests with long exposure noise reduction (LENR) turned off. The body cap was on. The ambient temperature was 66 degrees. The ISO was set to 100 on both cameras.
Noise Test Results: Sony a7R vs. Canon 6D
For exposures of 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, and 2 minutes, both cameras produced clean files. There was little to no performance compromise for leaving LENR turned off in both cameras.
3 minutes: The 6D still looks good. The a7R is just starting to show faint traces of noise and hot pixels. Nothing objectionable.
4 minutes: The 6D is just starting to show a few signs of noise and hot pixels. The a7R has a bit more noise now.
6 minutes: The 6D is still fine at 6 minutes. The Sony a7R has noticeably more hot pixels by this point. Enough to where you'll spend a few minutes with each file cloning them out.
8 minutes: The 6D still is still good. The a7R has reached the breaking point, with additional hot pixels.
10 minutes: The 6D has a bit more noise now. You'll need to clone a few hot pixels, but it's still usable. a7R = nope.
15 minutes: The 6D is past my comfort level for noise at this point. The a7R has galaxies full of hot pixels.
Conclusion: The 6D is good for long exposures up to 8 minutes without LENR. The a7R is good up to 4-5 minutes. This gives the 6D the advantage for shooting long star trails in one shot, and for doing star trail stacking using less shots.
Turning on Long Exposure Noise Reduction
I also ran some tests with Long Exposure Noise Reduction (LENR) turned on in the camera. Both cameras were perfectly clean on 5 minute, 8 minute, and 10 minute exposures.
15 minute exposure: The 6D still looks great. The a7R file shows a few hints of noise.
30 minutes: The 6D shows some luminance noise that will benefit from additional noise reduction in post, but is still usable. The Sony battery died during the 30 minutes that noise reduction was running. The file was still saved on the memory card, but without any noise reduction.
Other Considerations
Battery Life: Canon is the clear winner here. Both cameras started the tests with a fully charged battery. The Sony battery died during the 30 minute exposure test. The Canon battery still had 40% capacity left at the end.
When the Sony a7R LCD screen is active, it does not turn off all of the way. Even when the screen appears blank, it's still slightly lit up and using battery life. Switching to the EVF may not help, and also makes reviewing images a pain. Advantage: Canon
Timer Remotes: There are a wide number of timer remotes available for shooting long exposures on Canon. Sony doesn't have a remote with a built-in timer, only an expensive manual option. There are only a few third party remote options for Sony, and I'm not aware of anyone who makes a wired remote with a timer. Advantage: Canon
Focusing: I haven't tested the a7R under full moon conditions, but did find Sony's focus peaking feature to be an excellent tool for daytime landscape shooting. Canon's AF is better for faster moving subjects. I don't use AF very much, so this is not really an issue.
Lenses: Canon DSLR's have a wide range of high quality lenses available. You can also use Olympus OM or Nikon lenses on an adapter. Native full frame Sony lens options are much more limited, but Sony's E mount will take a wide variety of lenses with an adapter. If you want to keep autofocus, the adapters can be expensive and AF slow. For landscapes this isn't a problem. For wide angle lenses, having a quality adapter is important to maintaining sharpness across the frame. Advantage: Canon
Size and Weight: The a7R is 5.0 x 3.7 x 1.9 inches and weighs 14 ounces. The 6D is 5.7 x 4.4 x 2.8 inches and weighs 27 ounces. The 5D Mark III is 6.0 x 4.6 x 3.0 inches and 30 ounces. Saving a pound in your gear bag is nice. Advantage: Sony
Build Quality and UI: No problems for me here with either camera, other than needing to test the a7R to make sure there are no light leaks during long exposures. The Canon has a slight edge in UI, but the Sony is pretty intuitive.
File Size: The 6D's CR2 files are about 20 MB each. The Sony a7R ARW files are about 37 MB. Memory cards and hard drives are inexpensive. The a7R RAW files are referred to as "visually lossless" but they do throw away some data to keep the file size down. I have seen one example file where the quality of a star trail shot was affected by the Sony's lossy file type. Something to keep an eye on. Advantage: Canon
Shutter Shake: Much has been written about the a7R's shutter design causing soft photos with long lenses at shutter speeds between 1/30 and 1/125. Luckily, I don't even own any long lenses. WTF: Sony
Price: The a7R lists for $2300, but can be bought new for as low as $1865. Make sure to budget $150-400 for an adapter if you're planning to use Canon lenses on the a7R. This brings the Sony in around $500 cheaper than a 5D Mark III, or $500 more than a 6D.
Final Thoughts: The Sony a7R has a few notable quirks for the types of shooting that I do. I also shoot 1-2 minute night panoramas at ISO 800, and the Sony doesn't perform well for long exposures at higher ISOs. For now, I'm sticking with my EOS 6D. It will be interesting to see what Canon has up their sleeves with the rumored 7D and 5D Mark III replacements.
San Francisco Adventure: Walking the Embarcadero to Goldsworthy's Tree Fall and Wood Line
Let's walk from the Ferry Building to the Andy Goldsworthy art installations in the Presidio. It's a sunny June Saturday morning, 70 degrees with a slight breeze. Click any of the panoramas below for an interactive version shot with a Ricoh Theta 360 camera.
We take BART to Embarcadero, and thread our way through the art vendors and Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. Outside the Exploratorium, we do a little bit of skateboarding:
Along the piers, a hundred cruise ship passengers wait for taxi cabs. We run the gauntlet of tourists at Fisherman's Wharf. We do not eat soup in a bread bowl. Here is a scale model of Alcatraz:
After watching tourists on rental bikes struggle up the hill at Black Point, we reach Fort Mason. We load up our backpacks with some books at the SFPL Readers Bookstore, and then get takeout food at Greens. Also, we learned how to spot UFOs:
We walked through the Marina Green and Yacht Harbor. Jogging, cycling, and volleyball ensued. We arrived at the crowded beach where a dog was digging a large hole:
Curious about the new approach to the Golden Gate Bridge, we left the beach path and walked on Old Mason Street, crossed under the freeway, up past the pet cemetery, San Francisco National Cemetery, and down to the Main Post of Fort Mason.
The Andy Goldsworthy piece Tree Fall is in a small, unsigned building in the square of the Main Post of Fort Mason. From a distance, it looks like a bathroom building. We sat down inside and contemplated the art:
Continuing through the neighborhood, we walked to the Lovers' Lane Trail, and found the Andy Goldsworthy installation Wood Line. A young Indian fellow who was up along the road above the trail asked what I was photographing. I showed him the Wood Line and after a short walk he exclaimed: "Wow, it's HEAVY!" I couldn't have said it better myself.
The area on the map at the top of this post where we double back is where the Wood Line is. We walked it both ways. Here's the view from the top:
If you're in the area, Andy Goldsworthy's Spire is also worth a visit. Exiting the Presidio, we walked through Pacific Heights, and down to Civic Center BART for the journey home. San Francisco is yours to experience. Put on those walking shoes and roar!

The FP(2011)Two rival gangs fight for control of Frazier Park -- a deadly arena in competitive dance-fight video game "Beat-Beat Revolution." For more about The FP and the The FP Blu-ray release, see the The FP Blu-ray Review published by Michael Reuben on June 18, 2012 where this Blu-ray release scored 2.5 out of 5. Directors: Brandon Trost, Jason Trost Writers: Brandon Trost, Jason Trost Starring: Jason Trost, Lee Valmassy, Art Hsu, Caitlyn Folley, Nick Principe, Dov Tiefenbach » See full cast & crew The FP Blu-ray, Video QualityWhatever its shortcomings as film, The FP has been given a generally fine treatment on Blu-ray by Image Entertainment, assisted no doubt by the quality of the original shooting format. Brandon Trost used the same Canon XH-A1 digital cameras with which he was familiar from Crank 2. The budget didn't allow for a full digital intermediate, but the credits indicate some sort of color grading, probably on PCs. The result is a clean, professionally framed and processed digital image with depth, fine delineation of detail and expert framing. The colors of The FP vary widely from the artificial fluorescence of the late night club scenes to the natural splendors of the brightly lit daytime scenes outdoors (mostly when seen in long shots) to the filth and decay of Frazier Park's local environs, especially where JTRO and Stacy live (the latter with an abusive father). The shifting hues are all faithfully reproduced on Image's 1080p, AVC-encoded Blu-ray. Black levels are generally quite good, which is essential for the many scenes in the various clubs and dark interiors. Contrast levels are sufficient to reveal shadow detail without overwhelming it. There was no indication of any high frequency filtering or artificial sharpening, and no compression artifacts of any kind. The only obvious defect was occasional light banding in larger expanses of lighter colors, notably the sky. It's sufficiently subtle that most viewers probably won't notice. The FP Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe DTS-HD MA 5.1 track renders the club dance music loudly and powerfully. The same goes for the film's one major pyrotechnic event, which occurs late in the game. For the rest, the sound editing is fairly basic, reflecting budgetary limits. The film relies heavily on the inventive score by George Holdcroft to fill the surrounds and create a coherent listening space. Holdcroft's invention never flags, and his underscoring becomes one of the most significant forces giving The FP a sense of unity. Dialogue is frequently hard to understand, but that's not a fault of the DTS lossless track. As discussed in the main review, the characters speak in a language of their own, which often results in unintelligible exchanges. (As with the recent Monster Brawl, Image has also included a track in DD 5.1 at the oddly low rate of 320 kbps. There is still no explanation of why anyone would want this.)

There is only one Mahatma for India, says CPI
Thursday December 22, 2011 08:42:09 PM,
New Delhi: Slamming Anna Hazare, the Communist Party of India (CPI) Thursday said India has one Mahatma -- Mahatma Gandhi -- and it is wrong to say there is only one single crusader against corruption in the country. "I appeal to the Congress party and to the government that under no circumstances the sovereignty of parliament should be surrendered. It should not do anything under duress," CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta said after the government introduced the Lokpal bill in the Lok Sabha. Referring to the impending phase of Hazare agitation, Dasgupta asked: "Is it that we are not fighting corruption on our own and we are doing it because somebody else is threatening?" "The Lokpal bill is being sought to be introduced in unusual haste," he said. "There is only one father of the nation - Mahatma Gandhi. Let no one pretend or let us not allow anybody pretend to be a single crusader against corruption." "Therefore, there is not a single crusader against corruption. Please don't be afraid of an individual, please don't be afraid of another phase of hunger strike. Don't surrender the sovereignty of parliament," he added. Dasgupta added that Hazare was not the only one who fought against corruption, a number of parliamentarians have raised questions on corruption. "We fought against corruption. The parties like BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party), Congress, we (CPI-M) also fought corruption," Dasgupta added.

I see some people love BCV and others don't. Is it a fairly good choice for us if we have a 3 and 4 year old? Thanks, Deb
Deb... There is plenty to do with the little ones. Storm-A-Long Bay has a kiddie area, with sand, where they would want to spend the whole trip if you let them. Go to the backside of the giant ship wreck water slide. They have a smaller slide going into a shallow pool for the tikes. You can just use a one bedroom villa...since the living room couch folds out into a queen size bed. You let the little ones sleep in the living room, while you and hubby take the king sized bed. Turn on the jacuzzi and toss the little ones in, they'll love the water jets. Minnie Mouse is on hand every morning at Cape May Cafe, along with Chip, Dale & Goofy in a bathing suit. There's plenty to do at BCV with kids. I am sure you will have fun.
We LOVED it. My kids were 3 & 7. They loved both the quiet pool and SAB. They loved the boardwalk. The loved the "big tub". My 3 year old was just amazed that he "slept in the kitchen" on the sofabed. We loved walking into Epcot in the early evening after naptime/rest. You'll probably want to bring a double stroller if you have one (or at least a single if you don't) - while it may be easier to sometimes rent one, it is wonderful to push the kids home from Epcot or even MGM if you're up for the walk.
Can you tell me if the BCV has arranged activities for kids? My kids 4 & 7 liked the activites at OKW and we are staying at BCV in April.
We had a great time at BCV with our 1 and 4 year olds. We are going back in May. SAB is great for young kids. The TV room off the BCV lobby was a big hit with our little ones - the kid size chairs are really cute. 4 year old enjoyed looking for turtles and the alligator (who we never saw). The character breakfast at Cape May Cafe is really good. The transportation/walk to Epcot and MGM is great when you have kids - no busses or cars involved. BCV is great with kids (but then again all the DVC resorts are ).
Not sure if they have activities for the kids like at OKW in community hall but I do know that they have the Sand Castle Club at the BC for ages 4 and up and that it's designed to give the kids babysitting with activities of some sort while the parents are out and about for an evening. I think the hours start at 4:30pm but again, it's more of a babysitting service I think.

Now review from the App.
Here's what others have to say...
Montana Thunderstorms? No problem!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
We spent four days camping in the mountains of Montana and every afternoon after lunch the rainstorms rolled in. My kids aren't big fans of sitting in the tent to wait it out, so they threw on their Torrentshell jackets and carried on exploring as if it were a sunny day. The water just rolls right off these jackets--literally hours of rain and they stayed dry. The hoods are nice and big and fit over a beanie, and these roll up really small to fit in a pack. Great jacket!
Is there a rear hood cinch with this...
Is there a rear hood cinch with this jacket?

There is a built in visor that should help keep the hood in the right place but it does not have a rear cinch in the hood.

Managing Strategy Implementation Strategy according to Percy Barnevik, Chairman of ABB is 10 per cent vision and 90 per cent execution. Yet standard textbooks of strategic management are decidedly light in terms of their treatment of the organisational issues which frequently derail change initiatives.

Once your code is built and you have verified that all necessary directories exist, power on and test your device with basic bring up, as described below. Bring up tests are typically designed to stress certain aspects of your system and allow you to characterize the device's behavior.
Before considering Android-specific modifications to the Linux kernel, verify that you can build, deploy, and boot a core Linux kernel on your target hardware.
Your kernel configuration file should include the following:
# # Android # # CONFIG_ANDROID_GADGET is not set # CONFIG_ANDROID_RAM_CONSOLE is not set CONFIG_ANDROID_POWER=y CONFIG_ANDROID_POWER_STAT=y CONFIG_ANDROID_LOGGER=y # CONFIG_ANDROID_TIMED_GPIO is not set CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_IPC=y
Android ships with default drivers for all basic functionality but you'll likely want to write your own drivers (or at least customize the default drivers) for your own device depending on your hardware configuration. See the following topics for examples of how to write your own drivers.
An image represents the state of a system or part of a system stored in non-volatile memory. The build process should produce the following system images:
directory will be lost on reboot.
Configure the bootloader to load the kernel and RAMdisk into RAM and pass the RAMdisk address to the kernel on startup.
Android-specific init programs are found in device/system/init
. Add LOG messages to help you debug potential problems with the LOG macro defined in device/system/init/init.c
The init program directly mounts all filesystems and devices using either hard-coded file names or device names generated by probing the sysfs filesystem (thereby eliminating the need for a /etc/fstab
file in Android). After device/system
files are mounted, init reads /etc/init.rc
and invokes the programs listed there (one of the first of which is the console shell).
Once the shell becomes available, execute % ps
to confirm that the following applications are running:
Each of these applications is embedded Linux C/C++ and you can use any standard Linux debugging tool to troubleshoot applications that aren't running. Execute % make showcommands
to determine precise build commands. gdbserver
(the GNU debugger) is available in the bin
directory of the system partition (please see http://sourceware.org/gdb/ for more information).
If bring up was successful, you should see the following Java applications (with icons) visible on the LCD panel:
If they are not visible or unresponsive to keypad control, run the framebuffer/keypad
The Android Init Language consists of four broad classes of statements:
The language syntax includes the following conventions:
Actions are named sequences of commands. Actions have a trigger used to determine when the action should occur. When an event
occurs which matches an action's trigger, that action is added to
the tail of a to-be-executed queue (unless it is already on the
Each action in the queue is dequeued in sequence. Each command in
an action is executed in sequence. Init handles other activities
(such as, device creation/destruction, property setting, process restarting) "between" the execution of the commands in activities.
Actions take the form of:
on <trigger> <command> <command> <command>
Services are programs that init launches and (optionally) restarts when they exit.
Services take the form of:
service <name> <pathname> [ <argument> ]* <option> <option> ...
Options are modifiers to services that affect how and when init runs a service. Options are described in the table below:
Option | Description |
critical |
This is a device-critical service. If it exits more than four times in four minutes, the device will reboot into recovery mode. |
disabled |
This service will not automatically start with its class. It must be explicitly started by name. |
setenv <name> <value> |
Set the environment variable <name> to <value> in the launched process. |
socket <name> <type> <perm> [ <user> [ <group> ] ] |
Create a unix domain socket named /dev/socket/<name> and pass its fd to the launched process. Valid <type> values include dgram , stream and seqpacket . user and group default to 0. |
user <username> |
Change to username before exec'ing this service. Currently defaults to root. |
group <groupname> [ <groupname> ]* |
Change to groupname before exec'ing this service. Additional groupnames beyond the first, which is required, are used to set additional groups of the process (with setgroups() ). Currently defaults to root. |
oneshot |
Do not restart the service when it exits. |
class <name> |
Specify a class name for the service. All services in a named class must start and stop together. A service is considered of class "default" if one is not specified via the class option. |
onrestart |
Execute a Command (see below) when service restarts. |
Triggers are strings used to match certain kinds of events that cause an action to occur.
Trigger | Description |
boot |
This is the first trigger that occurs when init starts (after /init.conf is loaded). |
<name>=<value> |
Triggers of this form occur when the property <name> is set to the specific value <value> . |
device-added-<path> |
Triggers of these forms occur when a device node is added or removed. |
service-exited-<name> |
Triggers of this form occur when the specified service exits. |
Command | Description |
exec <path> [ <argument> ]* |
Fork and execute a program (<path> ). This will block until the program completes execution. Try to avoid exec. Unlike the builtin commands, it runs the risk of getting init "stuck". |
export <name> <value> |
Set the environment variable <name> equal to <value> in the global environment (which will be inherited by all processes started after this command is executed). |
ifup <interface> |
Bring the network interface <interface> online. |
import <filename> |
Parse an init config file, extending the current configuration. |
hostname <name> |
Set the host name. |
chdir <directory> |
Change working directory. |
chmod <octal-mode> <path> |
Change file access permissions. |
chown <owner> <group> <path> |
Change file owner and group. |
chroot <directory> |
class_start <serviceclass> |
Start all services of the specified class if they are not already running. |
class_stop <serviceclass> |
Stop all services of the specified class if they are currently running. |
domainname <name> |
Set the domain name. |
insmod <path> |
Install the module at <path> . |
mkdir <path> |
Make a directory at <path> . |
mount <type> <device> <dir> [ <mountoption> ]* |
Attempt to mount the named device at the directory <dir> <device> . This may be of the form mtd@name to specify a mtd block device by name. |
setkey |
- currenlty undefined - |
setprop <name> <value> |
Set system property <name> to <value> . |
setrlimit <resource> <cur> <max> |
Set the rlimit for a resource. |
start <service> |
Start a service running if it is not already running. |
stop <service> |
Stop a service from running if it is currently running. |
symlink <target> <path> |
Create a symbolic link at <path> with the value <target> . |
sysclktz <mins_west_of_gmt> |
Set the system clock base (0 if system clock ticks in GMT) |
trigger <event> |
Trigger an event. Used to queue an action from another action |
write <path> <string> [ <string> ]* |
Open the file at <path> and write one or more strings to it with write(2). |
Init updates some system properties to provide some insight intoProperty | Description |
init.action |
Equal to the name of the action currently being executed or "" if none. |
init.command |
Equal to the command being executed or "" if none. |
init.svc.<name> |
State of a named service ("stopped", "running", or "restarting"). |

Going mad for March Madness |
Posted March 28, 2008 | |
Galo Pesantes Ah the joy of March Madness. It's the only time of year when you are your own expert, a la Dick Vitale. So even if you don't yell out, "It's Awesome Baby!" at the top of your lungs, you are still caught up in trying to make the best picks among the 65 men's college basketball teams competing in the tournament. |

The Joe Strummer Mural Is No More
In 2003 graffiti artists Zephyr and Dr. Revolt paid homage to Joe Strummer some months after his untimely passing in 2002 by painting a beloved mural of the Man, the Myth, the Camp Fire Enthusiast on the side of E. 7th and Ave. A corner bar Niagara. That mural is no more, gone after being power blasted out of existence this weekend, reports all-knowing LES blog EV Grieve. Over the years, the wall the mural lived on had fallen into disrepair, and residents of the building had been warned it would be removed before it could be fixed. There are rumors (hopes?) Niagara may commission Dr. Revolt to repaint Strummer after said repairs, EV reports. We've put a call in to the bar to confirm, and will update later with anything we might hear. In the meantime, maybe watch The Future Is Unwritten on Netflix Instant to help balance out the bad vibes. Strummer mural in all its former glory after the jump.Photo: EV Grieve via Bobby Williams
[Update: According to this tweet from Jesse Malin, Joe will be back in a few weeks.]

Putting your unique resume online to interact with head hunters and managers may get you closer to your goal, but it takes patience
Like many people of her age, Zhou Meng, who is 22 and a recent university graduate, likes using her micro blog to record her daily life and communicate with others, but, it had never occurred to her that she might also use it to hunt for a job. Then came the inspiration, from people who were posting their resumes on Sina Weibo, and she decided to follow suit, in the hope of getting more people to see her work and even make some suggestions. So, Zhou got her resume together in a well-organised way, with all the information on her education, background, work experience and design work highlighted by a pretty graphic illustration skillfully designed to showcase her person and style, but still wasn't so sure.
She was looking for work as a user-interface designer, but, even though she majored in editing and publishing at South China University of Technology, she never studied design in class and was "self-taught and not sure about my professional level".
When Zhou found her resume was reposted 128 times in just four days since March 22, she was surprised. In her words, "I'm amazed that so many people support me and it really encouraged me. Now I know that I can succeed as long as I work hard."
Around seven or eight companies in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou showed an interest, so she's still waiting for further word.
In fact, more young people are now looking for jobs on micro blogs, by using some astonishingly creative, eye-catching resumes. And, in response, some companies have also started opening micro blog accounts to look for employees.
The CEO of Sina.com, Cao Guowei, announced in February that Sina Weibo had 503 million registered users by December.
Huang Lijun, 31, a senior member of the Teamtop Training Institute, in Guangzhou, says that the micro blog boom makes contacting human resources managers in various fields a lot easier, and they can provide the latest hiring information and even inspire applicants by interacting online.
In support of this, Zhang Jie, a supervisor at Ctrip.com International Ltd, China's largest online travel agency, says, "In traditional hiring, corporations have to sit around waiting passively for applications. But, with the micro blog, we can communicate with them directly and promote our position at the same time."
Zhang goes on to explain, "Hiring is becoming more like sales, the only difference being to promote a product or a corporation. So, we have to do it many ways, the same as we do with sales. The micro blog has a huge number of users. How could we ignore it?"
Zhang began posting Ctrip's job information and popular career topics on their official job account in February and some applicants sent their resumes via a micro blog message, and he in turn recommends suitable positions for them.
In commenting on this, Teamtop's Huang says, "The microresume has great potential because few people are using it so young people can show their talents in a fresh way," adding, "Anything that is rare is precious. If an HR representative sees a micro blog resume, he or she will definitely take note of it. If there are hundreds of these resumes, HR people prefer reading those applications in their e-mails."
He himself spends about two hours on his public service micro blog to repost and provide career tips for new graduates as well as explaining job-hunting and interviewing skills, career planning, and office etiquette.
He only responds to resumes that are worth commenting on because he wants others to brush up on their skills in making a resume. Other netizens have been reposting resumes to help young people land a good job.
Huang says he believes the microresume's disadvantage is that it is so scattered. So each one needs to draw attention immediately, the same as a traditional resume.
"The response time on microresumes is fast and for those that I've reposted, there are interview opportunities," he says, noting that, in addition, human resource personnel often read the person's micro blog, which reflects their personality. So, it's a good idea to open an exclusive account to update the resumes, career ideas, and job feelings. This account could be the best resume.
However, there's still a long way to go before the microresume goes mainstream. According to Zhang, if a company has to search for resumes on micro blogs, it's often for the following reasons: they're looking for a talent that's popular but difficult to track; they have few applicants because they're not famous; or the need isn't that urgent.
Meanwhile, Zhou is also looking for jobs the old-fashioned way, so she can apply to a company where she'd really like to work and because the odds are higher.
Huang concludes that, "It's better to have a micro blog platform for hiring so that it's convenient to search for jobs and talented people."

Grilled corn on the cob is incredible when slathered in summerly basil compound butter!
Radishes get special treatment here: sautéed with snap peas and butter, then glazed with orange juice and dill! Yum.
Japanese cuisine often features young bunched turnips. This recipe is a nice way to highlight their mild flavor.
Bunched turnips are the small, delicately flavored turnips that appear in Produce in spring. They are delicious raw, or gently glazed as in this recipe.
A more sophisticated, but still just as yummy, french fry.
These just may be the most delicious mashed potatoes ever.
Burdok, sweet potatoes, turnips, or other root vegetables would be good substitutes for the ones listed below. Avoid beets though, as they would turn your dish scarlet.
It doesn't get any easier than this!
Perfect served as a hearty side dish, but also delicious over ricotta-filled ravioli.

I checked the "Foobar2000:Title Formatting Reference" for the logarithm function, but it is not supported. Does anyone know of a simple workaround? I want to use it for a "View" in the "Album List" to view by duration. For example, it could group files by durations of [n to 2*n) seconds -- 0 to 1 minute, 1 to 2 minutes, 2 to 4 minutes, 4 to 8 minutes, and so on. (I realize that one could implement division with several $if statements, but that is complicated and does not scale).
Thanks! |

No, there are no exponential or logarithm functions. Note that all title formatting functions operate on integers only.
However, you can compute $floor($log10(x)) for a natural number x, even though neither a $floor nor a $log10 function actually exists. For this you have to compute the number of digits of the number which can be done with the $len function. Here is an example that applies this to the track length in minutes: CODE $puts(L,$len($div(%length_seconds%,60))) 1$repeat(0,$sub($get(L),1)) to $add(1$repeat(9,$sub($get(L),1)),1) minutes This displays things like "10 to 20 minutes" or "1 to 2 minutes". Note that it will display the latter even for tracks shorter than 1 minute. For maximum flexibility you have to resort to an $if cascade. Like you said this does not scale, but on the other hand you can choose the intervals freely. For example: CODE $ifgreater(%length_seconds%,599,
10 minutes or longer, $ifgreater(%length_seconds%,179, 3 to 10 minutes, $ifgreater(%length_seconds%,59, 1 to 3 minutes, 0 to 1 minute ))) This post has been edited by foosion: Feb 24 2013, 22:47 -------------------- http://foosion.foobar2000.org/ - my components for foobar2000

Thanks for the reply, foosion. I ended up going with your latter suggestion. In case anyone else would benefit,
CODE $ifgreater(%length%,3,$ifgreater(%length%,5,$ifgreater(%length%,10,$ifgreater(%length%,15,$ifgreater(%length%,30,$ifgreater(%length%,60,60:00 +,30:00 - 60:00),15:00 - 30:00),10:00 - 15:00),5:00 - 10:00),3:00 - 5:00),0:00 - 3:00)|$filename(%path%)

SIGNIFICANT SIDEBANDS (those with significantly large amplitudes) are shown in both views of figure 2-9 as vertical lines on each side of the carrier frequency. Actually, an infinite number of sidebands are produced, but only a small portion of them are of sufficient amplitude to be important. For example, for a modulation index of 0.5 [top spectrums of both views (A) and (B)], the number of significant sidebands counted is 4. For the next spectrums down, the modulation index is 1.0 and the number of sidebands is 6, and so forth. This holds true for any combination of deviating and modulating frequencies that yield identical modulating indexes.

So I have been trolling the internet on information about making my own shapewear (none of the commercial stuff fits right) and I thought about possibly doing the closure in a corset style. I've not committed to this yet, but I wanted to get some information. Has anyone made a knit corset, and what did you do to make it a success (or wasn't it?) Thanks! M.E.
M.E., I just wanted to bump this post for you. I wish I had some answers for you..... Nora :)

Describing taste in words is funny business but making the effort is worthwhile as it provides you with a mechanism through which you can record your experiences with food and drink, and especially craft foods like real ale. We each take in the esters, phenols and other organic elements and recreate their interconnection in our own minds as we sip, sometimes discovering what the brewer intended and sometimes finding out new nuances never expected. Then you use your words to frame your experience. Do it often enough and you develop your own descriptors that make sense for your experience.
So it is inordinately shocking, then, to learn about what may be the worst idea in the craft beer movement I have ever heard of - a standardized system of beer description not unironically called Cyclops:
Cyclops, the new scheme launched today at the Great British Beer Festival at Earls Court in London, has the backing of 14 real ale breweries. Under the scheme, the brewers have agreed to follow a standardised template on all promotional material, describing the style, smell, look and taste of their beers. Bitterness and sweetness – the two main measures used to describe real ale's characteristics – will also now be scored from one to five.This is tragic. And it is stunning that CAMRA supports such a thing. It is important at this moment in time that the most famous Cyclops, Homer's Polyphemus, was blinded for life by drinking strong wine and ate people. This is hardly the making of a good brand. But even when he had one good eye he saw things...like he was born with one eye in the middle of his forehead - as in without particularly strong ability to see things from other perspectives. Plus, as man eating giant shepherds who get tricked a lot, they sort of fit the images of a rural rube characature, kinda like in the satirical play by Euripides.¹Cyclops follows a pilot scheme introduced by Leicester brewer Everards, which simplified the language used to describe real ales on promotional materials so customers knew exactly what to expect. A Campaign for Real Ale spokesman said: "Real ale is an incredibly complex drink with an enormous range of styles and tastes. Cyclops will demystify real ale so drinkers will know what a beer will look, smell and taste like before they part with their cash at the bar."
And that is sort of what the program takes the craft beer lover for in presuming to tell you how to taste - it takes you for an ignorant oaf. It will create one recommended way to look at things and a snobby attitude to those who find their own way. Reject such mecho-branding systematic standards that will homogenize response patterns and trust yourself. If you think a beer tastes like the armpit Polyphemus after a long night in the cave (if you know what I mean) while the brewer tells you something like "it is a 5 (bitter), 3 (waterhardness), 3 (maltiness), 2 (mouthfeel) and 4 (overall) pale ale" then you just trust yourself and know that is likely tastes like that armpit.
¹...which would have been funnier if, instead of saying he was called "No man" thus leading to lots of punning hi-jinks that confused the big old dope, Odysseus had actually called himself "Norman" which would have led to a lot less confusion and likely the eating of Odysseus in the first few scenes thus saving thousands of undergrads the misery of figuring the whole thing out.

After searching the internet for a cause for the burner not getting hot it looked as though it was the burner switch. I ordered the switch and installed it. Behold it still did not work. I then ordered the burner, installed it and it worked. So I had a 50/50 chance as to which part was the problem. This was my first stove repair and I found it easy to do. Finding something to hold up the ceramic cooktop took the most time. I cut a piece of wood to prop it up while I replaced the burner.

Jurassic World Sequels Already Being Planned
Lets not be naïve here. We know that no one ever plans to make a single movie anymore: when a writer enters a studio with a pitch about Sandra Bullock taking care of a sick kid with leukemia, or Shia LaBeouf as a tragic abolitionist, they want to hear what the sequel will be like. As Universal preps Jurassic World for 2015 release, you can bet your ass theyre looking to continue the Jurassic world. Dont actually bet your ass, though. You cant get that back.
Director Colin Trevorrow spoke to Empire about the coming dino-sequel and crossed his fingers that he would be invited back, to continue an exploration into the dinosaur world. He claims, "We definitely talked about [sequels] a lot... We wanted to create something that would be a little bit less arbitrary and episodic, and something that could potentially arc into a series that would feel like a complete story." While were not going to mention it, in the link Trevorrow also mentions who would return for the sequel, essentially confirming which cast member survives. Fortunately, he also confirms that dinosaur animatronics are being used in lieu of computer generated dinos, though his pitch for this installment sounds an awful lot like ground thats already been covered. "Its about alpha dominance and the fact that humans have been the alpha species for a very long time. And so now weve brought back another that happened to be the alpha species during its time, and we have to co-exist, so what is that relationship?" The one difference from the earlier films seems to be that in this film, Jurassic Park is actually a fully-functioning park. So dinosaurs are no longer a scientific wonder, but a fact of life to these people, placing them on even ground. It seems to shift the films away from horror and more into adventure, though not enough yet that we can get our dream movie of dinosaur commandos with guns on their heads. Jurassic World stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Omar Sy, Judy Greer, Vincent DOnofrio, Ty Simpkins and maybe Idris Elba and is set for release June 12th, 2015. Back to top

VonStumpf: Nice try, peeg.
Fargo: Anyways, with the release of GameSpy's newest network site, PlanetWolfenstein, I thought I'd take this opportunity to talk turkey with one of the world's foremost authorities on supertechnology and dark rituals thought to be forgotten. Doctor VonStumpf, would it be fair to say that disgusting pseudo-science went out the door with the close of the Nazi regime, and how did that impact your career?
VonStumpf: Foolish dependance on conventional armaments led only to catastrophic defeat. As we have seen in countless cult movies and video games, the real answer lies in superior application of gratuitous overblown pseudo-scientific superweapons and archaic lore. Fortunately many of us have been able to take our work underground. As we like to say in this industry, "FOOLS! FOOLS, I'LL SHOW THEM ALL!" You can quote that, yes.
Fargo: Any advice for any young people reading this today who are considering a career in diabolical pseudoscience and superweapon research?
VonStumpf: I'm glad you asked. I've prepared this short slide show entitled, "What I've Learned from Twisted Secret Nazi Science." Dr. Klink, fire up the tele-projector, please. LIGHTS!

USA to Host 2015 World Medical Football Championships US Team Prepares to Compete in this year's Championships in Hungary June 30
INDIANAPOLIS – A squad of U.S. physicians – as passionate about soccer as they are about improving health – are training intensively as they prepare to compete against teams from 14 other countries in the World Medical Football Championships in Budapest, Hungary June 29-July 7. At stake are bragging rights, national pride and international attention to the relationship between sports and health.
The U.S. Medical Soccer Team, led by President Gautam Nayak, M.D. and coached by Stephen Merriwether, drilled and scrimmaged recently in Indianapolis, where they formalized a collaborative effort with the American College of Sports Medicine. ACSM and the USMST will work together to further Exercise is Medicine®, a global health initiative that strives to make physical activity part of the health care plan for every individual. "The guiding principles of EIM are extraordinary and commensurate with the fundamental professional and personal philosophies of USMST members," said Nayak. "Exercise and physical activity have always been a big part of our lives, and regardless of medical specialty, something we truly believe in."
The U.S. Medical Soccer team comprises about two dozen physicians whose practices run the gamut from family practice and pediatrics to anesthesiology, dental surgery and ophthalmology. They caught the bug for soccer (known worldwide as football) early in life and maintained their skills while developing medical careers. Nayak explained that team members' passion for the game goes beyond their desire to remain competitive. "An overwhelming amount of evidence shows – and our professional experience bears out – that physical activity is essential for fitness, health and well-being," he said. "That activity can take many forms, from walking to dancing, active play or sports. For us, like millions worldwide, playing soccer is an enjoyable way to stay active that brings co-benefits like stress release and fostering teamwork."
Felipe Lobelo, M.D., Ph.D., a member of both ACSM and USMST, developed the idea of the USMST-EIM collaboration. He explained: "We know that prevention efforts should be a cornerstone of our medical practices and a driving principle in our health care system. That being the case, physicians and other health care providers have an important responsibility to provide preventive counseling to their patients. Research consistently shows that the number-one predictor of whether a doctor gives preventive counseling, not surprisingly, is that doctor's own health habits and practices. Active physicians are two to five times more likely to provide activity counseling to their patients compared to inactive physicians. This is why the USMST and EIM collaboration makes sense – active doctors preaching what they practice and walking the talk."
Championships Coming to America in 2015
Nayak and the USMST are looking forward to hosting the world championships in 2015. In addition to developing their team and individual skills in preparation, they will continue a series of community events around the country to engage youth in soccer, participate in health fairs to promote physical activity for chronic disease prevention, and talk to fellow health care providers on how to routinely incorporate physical activity in health care delivery Ever on the agenda, said Nayak, is the goal of educating families on the importance of maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle. While in Indianapolis during the 60th ACSM Annual Meeting, the team visited the Mary Rigg Neighborhood Center to present an educational program focused on nutrition, fitness and health care careers.
"The members of this team have practiced hard, invested in traveling to prepare and compete, and one day hope to hold the Ferran Morrell Trophy as World Medical Football champions," said Nayak. "Our ultimate goal, however, is to encourage everyone to enjoy the health benefits of being physically active. We know that exercise truly is medicine. What could be more enjoyable than playing your way to better health?"
