LAPTOP Magazine - TomTom GO 930 review
Jun 05 2008 -
Troy Dreier of LAPTOP Magazine gives the TomTom GO 930 a 4/5 star review, praising TomTom's new flagship navigator for its innovative features as well as a very attractive price tag. "Budget navigators are hitting the streets faster than we can review them, but there's much to be said for expanding your budget and getting a fully loaded GPS—especially when the result is as good as the $499 TomTom Go 930. Voice commands, smarter routing, lane assistance, and Bluetooth are often overlooked or referred to as 'extras.' The attractive GO 930 has all of these features, making this price a good value. In fact, the GO 930 feels like it should cost even more," he writes.

"Model-Based Design with MathWorks tools closes the gap between algorithm development and implementation on target hardware. System modeling and production implementation are merged at a high level of abstraction, which enables us to focus on what is important: the comprehensive analysis and design of an efficient, high-quality product."
Peter Wehrli, Zühlke
High-vacuum pressure sensors, used in the manufacture of semiconductors, data storage hardware, and video displays, require sensors capable of controlling the vacuum and detecting system failure within milli-seconds. To achieve this level of precision, engineers use capacitance diaphragm gauge manometers, sensors that monitor the effects of pressure changes on a thin ceramic membrane. Extremely sensitive to temperature, these devices require complex and lengthy calibration before they can be used in production.
Zühlke recently developed capacitance diaphragm gauge manometer firmware for INFICON, a leading supplier of vacuum gauges. Using MathWorks tools and Model-Based Design, Zühlke quickly designed and implemented algorithms for temperature compensation, signal linearity, and signal resolution.
"With MathWorks tools, we delivered a system that fully satisfied the needs of our customer and the high-quality demands of the pressure sensor," says Peter Wehrli, Senior Engineer at Zühlke. "The result underscores our ability to leverage Model-Based Design even for projects that do not involve sophisticated target hardware or complex designs."
Changes to the shape of the membrane inside the sensor are quantified by measuring the capacitance across two electrodes attached to the membrane's metallic coating. The full range of the most sensitive pressure sensor is 100 millitorr, less than two ten-thousandths of an atmosphere, with a resolution of 3 microtorr.
To achieve this resolution, the sensor firmware would need to convert input capacitance measurements on the order of picofarads. It would also need to calculate pressure while compensating for temperature, ambient pressure, and the effect of gravity on the membrane.
The firmware would be implemented on the 8051-based Analog Devices microcontroller. At the outset, the team was not sure whether the 8-bit arithmetic capabilities and clock speed of this microprocessor could meet the precision and response time requirements of the sensor. Additionally, while the firmware would ultimately enable technicians to calibrate the sensor by setting parameters in software, Zühlke would not have access to sensor hardware until almost three months into the project.
Using MathWorks tools and Model-Based Design, Zühlke engineers designed, optimized, and simulated a model of the pressure sensor and then generated production code for the sensor firmware.
The team designed and modeled the sensor system in Simulink, using Stateflow to implement the state machine for the calibration procedure, which is controlled via an RS232 interface. Using Fixed-Point Blockset, the engineers simulated and verified their fixed-point arithmetic computations.
After simulating and debugging the model, the team automatically generated fixed-point C code for the 8051 using Simulink Coder™ and Embedded Coder®.
Zühlke delivered a first version of the system to INFICON engineers, who tested the firmware and provided real-world measurements, including actual pressure readings and sensor output. Zühlke incorporated this data into their Simulink models and used it to tune parameters and optimize the sensor's accuracy.
INFICON incorporated the automatically generated code into its capacitance diaphragm gauge manometer, and has since adapted and reused the model for a new line of sensors and an alternate microprocessor.

The GPars framework offers Java developers intuitive and safe ways to handle Java or Groovy tasks concurrently. Leveraging the enormous flexibility of the Groovy programing language and building on proven Java technologies, we aim to make concurrent programming for multi-core hardware intuitive, robust and enjoyable.
withPool {
def animals = ['dog', 'ant', 'cat', 'whale']
println(animals.anyParallel { it ==~ /ant/ } ? 'Found an ant' : 'No ants found')
println(animals.everyParallel { it.contains('a') } ? 'All animals contain a' : 'Some animals can live without an a')
GPars is a multi-paradigm concurrency framework, offering several mutually cooperating high-level concurrency abstractions, such as Dataflow operators, Promises, CSP, Actors, Asynchronous Functions, Agents and Parallel Collections.
GPars - 'coz concurrency is Groovy
Hear those who are using GPars already, check out the User Voices.
The traditional thread-based concurrency model built into Java doesn't match well with the natural human sense for parallelism. While this was not a problem at times, when the level of parallelism in software was low and concurrency offered only limited benefits compared to sequential code, nowadays, with the number of cores on a single main-stream chip doubling almost every year, sequential code quickly looses ground and fails to compete in performance and hardware utilization with concurrent code.
Inevitably, for concurrent programming to be effective, the mental models of concurrent systems interactions that people create in their heads have to respect the nature of human brains more than the wires on the chips. Luckily, such abstractions have been around for several decades, used at universities, in telephone switches, the super-computing industry and some other inherently concurrent domains. The current challenge for GPars is to bring these abstractions up to the mainstream software developers to help us solve our practical daily issues.
Please refer to the User Guide for an extensive coverage of GPars abstractions. You may also like a few Demos to get a taste of what's in here for you.
The framework provides straightforward Java or Groovy-based APIs to declare, which parts of the code should be performed in parallel. Collections can have their elements processed concurrently, closures can be turned into composable asynchronous functions and run in the background on your behalf, mutable data can be protected by agents or software transactional memory.
For the common scenario that one or multiple results are calculated concurrently but need to be processed as soon as they are available, GPars makes it a breeze to correctly model this with Dataflow. Dataflow variables and channels gives you a handy abstraction of single-assignment multiple-read data elements, while dataflow operators let you build efficient concurrent data-processing networks.
final SyncDataflowQueue channel = new SyncDataflowQueue()
def producer = task {
(1..30).each {
channel << it //writing to a channel
println "Just sent $it"
def consumer = task {
while (true) {
sleep 500 //simulating a slow consumer
final Object msg = channel.val
println "Received $msg"
The concept of Actors as an approach to organizing concurrent activities has recently gained new popularity (thanks to the Scala, Erlang, and other programming languages). GPars implements this concept for Java and Groovy developers. With actors support you can quickly create several independent Actors, which consume messages passed to them and communicate with other actors by sending them messages. You then build your solution by combining these actors into a communication network.
Let the fun begin!
Main Areas
- Dataflow concurrency
- Actor programming model
- Agent - an thread-safe reference to mutable state
- Concurrent collection processing
- Composable asynchronous functions
- Fork/Join
- STM (Software Transactional Memory)
Project's main priorities
- Clever and clean design
- Elegant Java and Groovy APIs
- Flexibility through meta-programming
- Application-level solutions that scale with number of cores

France captain Thierry Dusautoir has edged out some stiff competition to win the IRB Player of the Year Award.
Many thought that the winner of this prestigious accolade would come from the world champions. The All Blacks won the World Cup final on Sunday and while both Jerome Kaino and Ma'a Nonu were nominated in the top player category, Kaino was believed to be the strongest candidate for the award.
At the annual prizegiving on Monday, however, Dusautoir was honoured for his efforts in 2011. The powerful French flanker enjoyed two particularly good games in the semi-final and final. He was named Man of the Match in the decider even though the All Blacks won 8-7.
The All Blacks walked away with the Team of the Year accolade, while Graham Henry scooped the Coach of the Year gong.
The only South African to win an award was sevens star Cecil Afrika.
The founders of the Rugby World Cup and all previous winning captains and coaches were inducted into the IRB Hall of Fame. In addition Gareth Rees (Canada), Jonah Lomu (New Zealand), Agustin Pichot (Argentina) and Brian Lima (Samoa) were also inducted in the Hall of Fame.
The 2011 winners:
Player of the Year – Thierry Dusautoir (France)
Team of the Year – New Zealand
Coach of the Year – Graham Henry (New Zealand)
Junior Player of the Year – George Ford (England)
IRB Sevens Player of the Year – Cecil Afrika (South Africa)
IRPA Try of the Year – Radike Samo (Australia), Wallabies vs All Blacks, Brisbane
The Spirit of Rugby Award – Wooden Spoon Society for their work with disadvantaged youth
IRB Women's Personality of the Year – Ruth Mitchell
IRPA Special Merit Award – (chosen by fellow players for outstanding contribution) George Smith
IRB Referee Award for Distinguished Service – Keith Lawrence
Vernon Pugh Award for Distinguished Service – Jock Hobbs
IRB Development Award – USA Rugby for their Rookie Rugby Programme

Art was her life... Now her life is art!
For years, Yuno's dreamed of attending Yamabuki Arts High School, but now that she's been accepted, it means the scary prospect of moving away from her home and family for the first time! Fortunately, Yuno quickly learns that if her new neighbors at the eclectic Hidamari (Sunshine) Apartments aren't technically family, at least the majority share the bond of being fellow art students.
From second year students like Hiro and Sae, who try to behave like helpful older sisters (mostly successfully) to her hyperactive new neighbor, classmate, and best friend Miyako (who has the scariest apartment ever), Yuno begins to build the support network she'll need for dealing with strange characters like her oddly masculine landlady, her cosplay-obsessed homeroom teacher, her tooth-chattering principal and all of the other odd denizens who inhabit her chosen world of art.
It won't be easy, and it won't always be pretty, but with her friends at her back Yuno's going to reach for the stars!

Actor Caleb Landry Jones Is Strangely Sexy – The Daily Swoon
Sometimes there are just those guys that have something strange and alluring about them that you can't quite put your finger on. Actor Caleb Landry Jones is definitely one of those guys, and we like it.
Looking at him, he kind of reminds you of a really quirky, eccentric-looking model-type with his red hair, freckles, and sort of dark and weird vibe. He's just as equally eccentric in real life, too, and gives one hell of an interview when out promoting his latest films.
You might recognize him from any number of roles, big and small: He played the brother in 'The Last Exorcism'; Banshee, the vocally-gifted mutant in 'X-Men: First Class'; and Landry's bandmate in 'Friday Night Lights' (Texas forever!).
More recently, he's starred in the twisted sci-fi flick 'Antiviral,' as a salesman who provides clients with diseases procured from celebrities (and somehow that's not the worst of it), and in the vampire horror drama 'Byzantium' with Saoirse Ronan, from the director of 'Interview with the Vampire.'
Clearly, Caleb Landry Jones is drawn to roles in dark and strange movies to match his dark and strange appearance, but there's something totally attractive and alluring about him — he knows he doesn't quite fit the mold, and he uses it to his advantage.
Confidence is key, right?

OXFORD, Ohio – The Miami University men's basketball team fell 65-63 to Wilmington College on Saturday afternoon inside Millett Hall. The teams exchanged leads throughout the game before the Quakers went on an 18-4 run down the final stretch to capture the upset victory.
Miami came out of the gate strong, posting an 8-0 run to start the game. Senior forward Will Felder capped off that run with a slam dunk with 17:48 remaining in the first half.
The two sides exchanged points for the next several minutes until Miami led 17-12 with 14:07 remaining in the first half. Miami went on a 9-0 run after that, sparked by a three-pointer and two made free-throws from freshman forward Joshua Oswald.
Over the remainder of the first half, the Quakers stuck around the RedHawks due primarily to their strong perimeter shooting. Wilmington made seven 3-pointers during the final 10 minutes of the first half.
Over the span of about three minutes, Wilmington had a 13-0 run that tied the game at 39 apiece with 1:31 remaining in the first half. Senior guard Quinten Rollins then made a layup to send the RedHawks into halftime with a narrow 41-39 advantage.
Both teams traded points as the second half began until Wilmington took their first lead of the game with the score set at 47-45 with 15:32 remaining in the contest.
Miami immediately took control of the game, going on a 14-0 scoring spree to gain a 59-47 RedHawk lead. Felder notched six points during that span.
Wilmington responded with a 16-3 run to give them a one-point lead over the Red and White. With time winding down, the RedHawks were forced to foul. The Quakers made two throws and then fouled Miami's Rollins. Rollins made one of two free throws to close within two of the Quakers. A last-second 3-point attempt from Will Felder did not go in and Wilmington preserved the win.
Felder notched the team's first double-double of the season with his 19 points and 11 rebounds. Rollins matched career highs with 18 points and 7 rebounds. Rollins had five steals which marked the seventh time he has had five or more steals in a single game.
Miami returns to action on Tuesday, Dec. 3 when they host IPFW. That contest tips off at 7 p.m. inside Millett Hall.

It would be an obfuscation of scepticism to say anything else.
I think Randi's entire career is an obfuscation of scepticism.
I mean, Geller and Brown could have powers, but their ability to take people in and suck their dollars out of them has nothing to do with it. Skepticism is the part that says: "no, there is no such thing as ESP." Randi's role is more as a watchdog. He doesn't really have to be skeptical to do what he does - even if he is deeply skeptical to a fault.

Q:Is is possible to get an allergic reaction to this Grass Shower Gel? I recently noticed an underarm rash that itches like mad, and there are only a few things it could be:
- The Lush Deodorant (trichomania?) it is a white chunk.
- The Lush Green Shower Gel,
- or my razor.
Since I did not get a rash in other areas that I used my razor, I have eliminated that. And since I have used the Lush deodorant before with no allergic reactions, I have eliminated that. I have stopped using the shower gel, but wondered if you have encountered this before.
Thank you so much!Asked on 2/28/2015 by New Lushie
2 answers
A:Trichomania is our amazing coconut solid shampoo, Aromaco is our packaging free deodorant. I know that if you use our any deodorant right after using your razor, you can risk irritating the sensitive skin. My advice would be to wait about 10 - 20 minutes after you shave to apply your deodorant. If you have seasonal allergies, you could be having a reaction to the Fresh Wheatgrass Juice that's in Grass shower gel, or it could be a myriad of other things.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Alexander from LUSH Direct
A:Yes it is possible the arm pit can be very sensative after shaving due to
the essential oils in the products can cause a little rash. You also can
use the tea tree toner for underneath your arms since it's bacteria that
gives you BO this is a great alternative.Answered on 3/3/2015 by Anonymous

For the duration of the Battle of Britain, America was officially neutral, only coming into the war after the attack on Pearl Harbour in December 1941. Many in America supported what Great Britain and her allies were fighting for but memories of World War One were still raw and isolationism was a widely accepted practice within America. However, a few young men for whatever personal reasons wanted to offer more than just moral support. A few Americans arrived in Britain and offered to fight for Fighter Command. A special arrangement with the RAF meant that they did not have to give up American citizenship. In total, nine American citizens fought during the Battle of Britain.
The best known of the US pilots who fought was Pilot Officer William Billy Fiske, a Cambridge graduate and a member of the US Winter Olympic bobsleigh teams of 1928 and 1932. Fiske joined 601 Squadron based at Tangmere in July 1940. On August 16th 1940 Fiske was involved in a dog-fight over Bognor and his Hurricane was damaged. He managed to crash-land at Tangmere. However, the fighter base was being attacked at that moment and his aircraft was strafed. Fiske died of his wounds the following day. A memorial was unveiled to Fiske at St. Pauls Cathedral in 1941 with the words An American citizen who died that England might live.
The other Americans who served in Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain were:
Vernon Keogh (609 Squadron)
Andrew Mamedoff (609 Squadron)
Eugene Tobin (609 Squadron)
Philip Leckrone (616 Squadron)
Arthur Donahue (64 Squadron)
John Haviland (151 Squadron)
De Peysters Brown (1 RCAF Squadron)
Carl Davis (601 Squadron)
Their combined score by the end of the battle was two definite destroyed German aircraft, five probable destroyed with two damaged. They made an invaluable contribution to morale and set a fine example. (Jon Lake)

No, I think I would pass. The 1st rounder would be lottery protected likely, and Lee is nothing special. Lopez has played well and is on a very good contract for the Hornets. Would't trade big for small.
Here is the Insider piece:
The Trade Idea from ESPN Insider Joe Keiser is:
Boston Celtics acquire: Robin Lopez
New Orleans Hornets acquire: Courtney Lee, Boston's 2013 1st round pick
(Note: Lopez and Lee cannot be traded until Dec. 15)
{Per TOS, full pay for content pieces are not allowed}
Interesting idea. I would do it in a heartbeat if offered. What do you all think?
No, I think I would pass. The 1st rounder would be lottery protected likely, and Lee is nothing special. Lopez has played well and is on a very good contract for the Hornets. Would't trade big for small.
Eh. Gonna say no to this.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
People always dismiss 1st rounders that will be in the 20's in December, but would kill for them in June. Almost everybody on this board was in love with a Perry Jones or a Quincy Miller, Sullinger, Fournier, etc. and wanted so desperately to acquire another pick in that range. So, keep that in mind when dismissing any 1st rounder.
As for Lee vs. Lopez- Lee is the better player, Lopez is the better contract since it is not guaranteed. Courtney Lee has turned himself into an elite on-ball defender, like top 5-10 in the league elite, and since I think Rivers is a point guard and Gordon will always be one play away from missing 4-6 weeks, I want a legit backup SG behind that.
Couple that with the fact that this draft is big man heavy, and so is this free agent class, and I take Lee hands down, then draft a 4th big while I increase Smith, Davis, and Anderson's minutes in the meantime. Win-win-win.
Tempting, but I'd say no.
You hear "first rounder" and teams start salivating. But, Boston's first would be 20+ and Robin Lopez would be exactly the kind of player you would be glad to get with that late first. I wouldn't mind getting Lee though. It'd be fun to have an actual shooting guard deserving of minutes to play while Gordons out.
But no. Maybe if they added a little bit more.
#'s 10-30 will be better in 2013 than it was in 2012. The 2012 draft was more top heavy and had a true franchise changer (which 2013 does not have) but 2013 has better players in Tiers 3-5.
Which, if true, by definition means it's a deeper draft.
That is so dumb. I mean wth is this 2K?... Monty has complained since he got here about the lack of height on the team and now he's going to trade his 7footer for Courtney Lee of all people? Some of these major writers should learn more about the team before trying to trade off the players
You know what you have right now with Lopez, nothing special, but a descent player with no true center debt behind him. If you're going to trade him it has to be apart of a package that's going to land you a really good player or players that are worthy of taking the hit that would come with making Jason Smith your starting C for the season.
To me that deal would be making a trade just to make a trade. Right now i know some say leave things alone and develop what you have, but we still don't have much, we need more and we need to make deals count with the roster we have, we don't have bad contracts and we have some disposal guys and a couple empty roster spots, plus the belief by other teams that we will be a high lottery team again this year.
I'm all for collecting picks, but that's after we get a stronger roster. Lopez like Vasquez cold be a super sub for us once we get the guy that's going to really play next to Davis. I rather keep him on the roster and have him at that time, than find the guy and have no true center behind him, because i believe through trade, free agency or the draft it's going to happen in the next couple of seasons.
This is one of those trades that I would be ok with if we made it, as its reasonable. But personally, I wouldn't make the move.
Not that I would pass, but the Celtics surely will. Lee has been O.K for them and I just doubt they will accept this. Varejoa, he will take alot to get and I've heard OKC in play for receiving(I'm only 16 so my "sources" aren't reliable at all. Cousins? I pass. The guy has the talent to be one of the best post players ever, but I doubt anyone can make him believe so and let em know he isn't a guard.
I will rather keep him than trade him. Robin's offensive game is elevating.
You don't trade a quality big for scraps... especially one on a very good contract.
lee has a PER of 7 so far this yr...he is playing horrible
I like having a good center.

Lincoln Drains Nearly Half of Total Shots in 12-Point Win over Men's Basketball
December 3, 2011
LINCOLN, P.A. - Lincoln University's Denzel Mooney scored a game-high 24 points while crossing the career 1,000-point plateau during a 76-64 victory over Pfeiffer University in non-conference basketball action on Saturday night. The win pushes Lincoln to 5-4 on the year while the Falcons dip to 4-3.
Pfeiffer never had the lead on Saturday coming as close as a 20-20 tie with 7:43 remaining in the first after a layup by Elijah Matthews. The Falcons cut it down to one on several occasions in both halves, but couldn't put the score in their favor.
The Falcons shot 42% from the field only to have their defense let down allowing Lincoln to shoot 47% in the 12-point win. Danny Smith led the visitors with 20 points while Matthews finished with 13. Reggie Hollinger came up one point short of Matthews with 12. Mooney was one of four in double-figures for the hosts.
Pfeiffer will now take time off to prepare for this coming week's final exams. The Falcons will return to the hardwood on Friday, December 16th hosting Barber Scotia at 7:00 p.m.

How do you rate your wheelchair repair service?SIS have recently been contacted by one of our members who was expressing concern at the interpretation of 'PRIORITY' when applied to the matter of wheelchair repairs. One of the brakes on our member's wheelchair snapped, making daily use more challenging and creating an unreliable chair from which to do transfers. On contacting the local provider - Mobility and Rehabilitation Service, Grampian (MARS) -- the member was advised that the timeframe for a priority repair was 3 working days. (This being the national timescale for such work). A quick check of the NHS Grampian website revealed that MARS ".. covers the Grampian area as well as the Orkney and Shetland islands, a population of roughly 556,000 people and an area of over 8,700 square kilometres (not including islands). The Service is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of occupational therapists, bioengineers, technicians and administrators. Around 2,700 referrals are received per year, which result in the issue of around 2,000 wheelchairs and/or seating systems. The service has around 7000 active users (aged from under 1 year to 100+) who generate 900 clinic attendances per year and 350 domiciliary visits. As well as providing a clinical assessment and provision service, the Wheelchair and Seating Service also provides a repair service for existing users that includes a workshop on site and a number of vans that travel throughout the Grampian area for local repairs. Annually technicians carry out over 4000 repairs, deliveries and collections, as well as over 2000 additional workshop requests". Like many members of SIS, our contributor has only the one chair and as such is entirely dependent on it remaining fit for purpose, with any down-time limited to the absolute minimum. Given the number of people dependent on the service, our member expressed the view that 3 days for a priority was unacceptable and wanted to know what the experience and/or thoughts of fellow SIS members was. We'd be interested to hear your views/experience, and/or whether you think this is an area we should consider for a future campaign? more… Posted: Fri, May 01 2015

1822 Butler Map of Russia
Description: This is a fine example of Samuel Butler's 1822 map of Russia. It covers the european part of Russia from Lapland to the Caspian Sea and from the Baltic Sea to the Ural Mountains. In 1825, shortly after this map was drawn, Russian army officers, called the Decembrists, protested against Nicholas I's ascension to the throne. The Decembrists (so named because their revolt started in December), favored Nicholas I's brother, Constantine, who seemed amenable to a British style constitutional monarchy. When Constantine abdicated the throne in 1825, the Decembrists refused to accept the more autocratic rule of Nicholas I. Had Constantine not abdicated and the Decembrists been successful, the bloody Bolshevik Revolution may never have occurred. The map is somewhat detailed with regional boundaries outlined in color. Various towns, cities, rivers, and several other topographical features are noted with relief shown by hachure. This map was engraved by Sidney Hall and published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown for issue as plate no. X in the 1822 edition of Samuel Butler's An Atlas of Modern Geography.
Date: 1822 (dated)
Source: Butler, S., An Atlas of Modern Geography, (London: Longman) 1822.
Cartographer: Samuel Butler (January 30, 1774 - December 4, 1839) was a British cleric, historian, and schoolmaster active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Butler is best known as a classical scholar, in which field he received numerous awards for meritorious achievement. Around 1798 he was assigned the post of headmaster at the prestigious Shrewsbury School. Having attained a Doctorate of Divinity in 1811, Butler became a clergyman in Kenilworth. He later became the Archdeacon of Derby and in 1836 the Bishop of Lichfield. Even as a clergyman Butler retained an interest in education and published several classical and modern geographies most of which went through many editions and were popular in schools across England. Click here for a list of rare maps by Samuel Butler.
Cartographer: Sidney Hall (1788 - 1831) was an English engraver and map publisher active in London during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His earliest imprints, dating to about 1814, suggest a partnership with Michael Thomson, another prominent English map engraver. Hall engraved for most of the prominent London map publishers of his day, including Aaron Arrowsmith, William Faden, William Harwood, and John Thomson, among others. Hall is credited as being one of the earliest adopters of steel plate engraving, a technique that allowed for finer detail and larger print runs due to the exceptional hardness of the medium. Upon his early death - he was only in his 40s - Hall's business was inherited by his wife, Selina Hall, who continued to publish under the imprint, "S. Hall", presumably for continuity. The business eventually passed to Sidney and Selina's nephew Edward Weller, who became extremely prominent in his own right. Click here for a list of rare maps by Sidney Hall.
Cartographer: Longman (fl. c. 1720 - present) is a long lived and venerable British publishing firm initially founded 1720s by Thomas Longman (1699 - 1755). Longman was born in Bristol and in 1716 was apprenticed to John Osborn, a London printer and bookseller. Completing his apprenticeship, Longman requested and was granted the hand of Osborn's daughter. Shortly afterwards Longman acquired the stock of Robinson Crusoe publisher William Taylor and, along with Osborn, established a printing office on Paternoster Row. The two published numerous works including Samuel Johnson's Dictionary. Around the same time that Osborn retired Thomas Longman's nephew, another Thomas Longman (1730 - 1797), joined the firm which was subsequently renamed T. and T. Longman. On the death of the original Thomas Longman, the nephew took over the firm and eventually passed it on to his son, Thomas Norton Longman (1771 - 1842). Thomas Norton seemed to have had a passion for partnering and over the years added Owen Rees (1730 - 1797), Thomas Brown (c. 1777 - 1869), and three more mysterious partners, Hurst, Orme and Green, to the corporation's partner list. For many years the firm published as Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, Brown & Green. Thomas Norton eventually passed the firm to his own sons, Thomas and William, who during their tenure bought out most of the minor partners, renaming the firm Longmans, Green & Co. Later, Thomas Longman's son took control of the firm in full naming it just Longman. During World War II most of their plates and stock were destroyed but the company nonetheless survived and went public in 1948. Longman was eventually acquired by the media conglomerate Pearson and continues to publish as Pearson Longman. Click here for a list of rare maps by the Longman firm.

Change the name to Mudbugs, give Voodoo to Benson!
Wanted to give the people that love the name VooDoo (and I'm among them) a chance to think the name could move since that's what I thought when this tweet came out minutes ago.New Orleans Voodoo @aflvoodoo
Time to change some things
While I doubt they're giving up the name... and am fine that the Hornets will become Pelicans... figure I'd let you guys discuss this amongst yourselves since... well... the tweet is what it is.
"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
Change the name to Mudbugs, give Voodoo to Benson!
Interesting indeed. I sure hope we can life the VooDoo name from them. If it weren't taken by an AFL team no one cares about, it'd be the perfect name.
Hoping that we get Voodoo instead of Pelicans as well. Voodoo just sounds better suited as an NBA name than Pelicans.
Actually, how about the Hornets rebrand to Voodoo, and the AFL team rebrands to Pelicans or Breakers? Best of both worlds.
HR Sim League
Alright I finally accepted Pelicans, but only because VooDoo looked like it would never happen. If this pertains to the Hornets, that'd be ****ing amazing
Last edited by LoCo89; 12-12-2012 at 02:24 PM.
Mod over at reddit.com/r/NOLAPelicans
maybe they can go back to the Battlewings like they were in Shreveport/Bossier
Voodoo sounds right imo. "Mavericks vs. VooDoo" " Heat - VooDoo" just sounds good as a name overall. Who cares about its meaning? The name is a great brand for a team. Way better than Pelicans
Formally known as WhoDatMan504
Hopefully it's in the bones. Then the Voodoo can become the New Orleans Reapers, with a Grim Reaper logo, the arena could still be the Graveyard for both teams.
lol, I'm pretty sure it has to do with the VooDoo getting assigned(no idea what that means) a 3 time all AFL DB, and not re-branding, but I can dream
How is signing a new player constitute changing things? You usually mention change when you're getting a new car, moving to a new house...not buying a new TV.
New Orleans breakers is the best name for them IMO
Call me crazy but think of this from a business standpoint.
VooDoo was unwilling to sell at whatever price Benson offered, perhaps assuming the offer would increase and they can get more out of him. Benson isn't one to budge too much so he floats rumors of them choosing a name like the Pelicans to show the AFL team that they missed their chance to sell the name. They reconvene with new offers and more determined to make a deal with Benson showing he's not bluffing.
Obviously far fetched, just thinking outside the box a little bit
Heh. That would be amazing. But they could counter that given the high disapproval of Pelicans, they can still bargain a little higher for the name.
Hell, the owners would have too much to gain by selling the name, you'd figure. There's almost zero risk. The AFL is almost defunct anyway.
I think that tweet has been deleted.
Looking at the Arena Football League's wikipedia, there's a history of name changes and city changes, almost 1-2 a year so I also don't understand why they won't sell the name to get some much needed profit in a league where they don't get 9,000 attendees a game
Would they delete a tweet over false rumors?

In the thread titled "Panpsychism", AtheEisegete, a philosopher possessing inexhaustible reserves of self-confidence, and an equal measure of blather, has treated us to a grand tour of his thinking on the subject of thinking. Never leaving the comfortable confines of philosophy except to drop occasional references to interpretations of scientific research he has not bothered in the slightest to relate to one another, or to his own subject, we have arrived, as all such accounts must, at the nexus of quantum mechanics, philosophy, and something called "consciousness".
Now, in the first decade of the twenty-first century, this has become a veritable cottage industry serving to feed numerous philosophers much like himself, who use it to pander to a nonscientific New Age audience hungry for something to replace religion. Front and center is what is being referred to in the Panpsychism thread as a "conceptual logjam" over the subject of "consciousness", the breaking-up of which AE implies (frequently enough to be considered advertising) will usher in a new blossoming of human psychology. Of course, as all philosophers of "consciousness" must, it is assumed that everyone knows pretty much exactly what is meant by the word "consciousness" such that an entire conference can be devoted to the subject, out of which emerges nothing of value to any consciousness outside the conference.
I am, as ever, waiting for the smallest shred of evidence that all this mumbling about the role of the observer in quantum mechanics has any implications whatsoever for anyone who is studying anything at a macroscopic scale, e.g., the size and shape of his own navel. This thread dares to compare the "conceptual logjams" of philosophers and their audience with the delectably greasy products of a certain fast food chain. This kind of philosophy, "consciousness studies", can be produced cheaply and copiously, and evidence suggests that people just eat it up. Hence the title of my thread, McPsychism.
Let's try to connect the dots:
Psychic states that tend to cause such dilation or such a sense of the soul expanding are numerous and have numerous labels, which typically have a religious cast (since they are not well understood states). Among these are the states to which you refer, where you are isolated in nature and feel the presence of "wondrous beauty". These states seem good for a good reason, if my analysis makes any sense here.
Now, that I am is not only the modern transposition of the denotational content of the Mosaic auditory hallucination "I am that I am" and the neutral truth (which is nonetheness tumescent with the infinite promise of heavenly bliss) behind the New Testamental proclamation "I am the way, the truth and the life" but also the conclusion of the Cartesian deduction "I think, therefore I am" as well as the premise of all post-Cartesian philosophy of mind in the Western tradition.
I see my role in this adventure as to look for new angles here in the hope that it will help us find a way forward with the issue of how the observer fits into a physically defined reality. It is worth recalling that Einstein made the breakthrough embodied in special relativity by some fresh but quite simple thinking about the role of the observer in making measurements in moving frames of reference. We need some such thinking now to get over the conceptual logjam in quantum theory. None of this need affect crystalographers and other practitioners, but it will have a huge impact on wider fields, for example a future psychology, in my thoughtful opinion.
I've been out driving and have seen those bumper stickers that say, "Not all those who wander are lost." Somehow, this does not fill me with confidence, and I would never, ever follow such an individual, unless my ambition was to bear witness to their ultimate destination in a ditch somewhere.

Lions president Kevin de Klerk has denied reports that Josh Strauss will be loaned out to the Crusaders for the 2013 Super Rugby campaign.
Media and social networks have reported that seven-time champions the Crusaders have snapped up the loose forward on loan from the Lions, who will be replaced by the Southern Kings in Super Rugby next year. The news comes as a surprise, considering the Christchurch franchise already has the likes of Richie McCaw, Kieran Read, Matt Todd, George Whitelock and Luke Whitelock in their loose forward department.
This would be a big blow for the Lions, who have already lost prop Jacobie Adriaanse (Scarlets, Wales), lock Ruan Botha (WP), lock Paul Willemse (Blue Bulls) and Caylib Oosthuizen (Free State Cheetahs) in recent weeks. Word is that flyhalf Butch James and hooker Bandise Maku could also make their exits after the Currie Cup.
However, the Lions' camp has denied the reports about Strauss's proposed loan. Interim coach Johan Ackermann told keo.co.za that he knew nothing about the deal, while De Klerk also told this site that it wouldn't be allowed.
De Klerk stressed that only flyhalf Elton Jantjies will be allowed to be loaned out next season as he is the only contracted player who has a Super Rugby clause in his deal.
The Lions currently have 26 players committed until October 2013, with Strauss being one of them.
Lions players contracted until October 2013 – JC Janse van Rensburg, CJ van der Linde, Callie Visagie, Pat Cilliers, Hendrik Roodt, Franco van der Merwe, Derick Minnie, Jaco Kriel, Michael Rhodes, Stephan Greeff, Josh Strauss, Warren Whiteley, Michael Bondesio, Ross Cronje, Whestley Moolman, Elton Jantjies (with contract clause), Guy Cronje, Jaco Taute, Alwyn Hollenbach, Lionel Mapoe, Dylan des Fountain, Bradley Moolman, Deon van Rensburg, Deon Helberg, Andries Coetzee, James Kamana.
