Get your technician's license. It's easy. Here's why and how.
So, you know that scene in Back to the Future where Doc is setting up a cable to funnel 1.21 GIGAWATTS of power straight through the flux capacitor to send Marty back to the future? He's setting up the cable from the lamp post to the top of the clock tower.
A cop shows up and asks him whether he has a permit, which Doc proceeds to pull out.
Now, the cop has actually NO IDEA what the permit is for. For example, maybe Doc's permit is for only 1.1 gigawatts of power. Maybe the permit is only for SPACE TRAVEL, not TIME TRAVEL. The permit could be total bull. It doesn't matter. Once Doc pulls out an official looking permit, the cop's job is done. Later, when people start asking the cop: "HOLY - that guy just vaporized that future-looking car going 88 mph with a bolt of lightning, and you did nothing to stop it!", the cop can say "but he had a PERMIT".
The point is, when you are flying FPV, at some point a cop is going to notice you standing there looking blankly into goggles with lots of antennas and controllers standing around. Or worse, you are going to have an ESC burn out and your plane is going to go down, setting the lipo on fire. It's at this point that you are going to want to have your FCC permit. It won't matter that the FCC license has nothing to do with whatever FAA regulations might be put in place, or how high you were flying, or whether you were flying line-of-sight. The point is that you have a PERMIT. And that permit is going to save your backside.
How to get your technician's class license (no morse code needed):
It is really easy. First, find a test site:
Next, read a study guide:
Finally, take all 11 practice exams:
Once you do this, you will know EVERY SINGLE QUESTION that could be on the test. You will kick its butt.
It took me an hour of studying and I only missed one question. Plus a lot of what you learn will help you with your FPV electronics.
I can't stress enough how important it is to get this done by the FPV community. If we want to respond to the bad press of recent events, acting responsibly with our permits and licenses is the best way to do it.
(edit: I didn't write this to make cops look bad. I work with cops. I like cops. But they can't know every FCC and FAA regulation which is why getting your license will usually be enough to diffuse suspicion).
(edit 2: I actually had the whole crash/lipo fire thing happen to me after I wrote this, so this is no longer an academic example)
Took me about only about 10 minutes to take the test after studying using the practice tests. For a few minutes of your time and $15 it was definitely worth it.
And another benefit is that most states offer amateur radio license plates for your car. Just something cool to have

Passed My test Today!
Passed my Technician Class test this morning. Run by VEs from the local Ham club: Hill Country Amateur Radio Club. Good bunch of guys. Took the test in about 15 min. Missed one answer out of 35 due to a senior moment ( I'll be 73 in April). Only took two weeks of preparation & study.
It's not much work to get legal in FPV and you might discover a new hobby to spend $$ on!

I took an online training class here. It was well worth the $20 in my opinion.
I've been a ham for a few years now. I am not a fan of the vanity plates, because it tells anyone your full name and address, that you probably have electronics at that address, and that you are not home right now.
Now if only I can remember to stick the license in my pocket.

That's not true. You need stickers on the Tx side, so for RC control, if you are Flying a Dragon Link for instance, you need the sticker on the Tx. You also need a sticker on the plane due to the VTx. You do need to broadcast your call sign every 10 minutes minimum.
Why do you care if someone finds you if you are not doing anything illegal? Are you flying in restricted airspace? Something else to hide? Trust me, if they want to find you, it is easy to use DF equipment to find you, so don't think you would be somehow hiding by not broadcasting a call sign.

Again, what does that matter? If they want to track you down, they can find you at the flying field. At that point, they will find out where you live as they ask for ID etc. Nobody is sitting there waiting to catch you or recording your flights. The issue will come if you are doing something stupid and complaints from neighbors or other people start rolling into the Police. I personally like broadcasting on 2.4, which is right in the middle of the wifi frequency band that is under part 15 rules. The only reason you need the license to broadcast on that frequency is that the power levels we are using is illegal under part 15 and only allowed for Hams under part 97 rules. This space is so full of other junk that nobody is going to sit there looking for analog video. Most other transmissions are also designed to handle a lot of interference, so you are not very likely to cause anyone else issues either.

Staying Inspired as a PhotographerTips & Tricks
Being a photographer is so much bigger than practicing lighting techniques, being up-to-date on the newest and most powerful gear, or knowing what post-production actions are best for you. All those things are wonderful parts of the puzzle but being a photographer is so much more. We all have similar hurdles to clear before we feel comfortable calling ourselves "photographers". Here is some advice of how conquer those hurdles.
Don't Give Up
Sounds obvious, right? It's really easy to throw in the towel when we get frustrated. Not being able to create what you envision in your head is the time when most people to the right and left of you decide that photography isn't for them because the work isn't as good as their ambition.
To quote Ira Glass of This American Life: "It's [your work] trying to be good, but it's not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. Do a lot of work. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close the gap and your work will be as good as your ambitions. It's gonna take awhile and it's normal, you've just gotta fight your way through."
Have Other Interests
The better and more popular your photography becomes the more people will want to work with you. This is great, right? It will also begin to feel more like real work. Often a creative person's expression is also their therapy. Have other hobbies to offset your hard work as a photographer, whether it is learning to bake bread, detailing cars, or writing. Any creative task will generate more inspiration for your true love of photography.
Stay Up to Date on Your Gear (But don't drive yourself mad keeping up with the latest trends.)
To progress in any profession it's important that you are using gear that allows you a polished, finished look. It is common knowledge that photography gear is expensive, which is why BorrowLenses rents it out! The overhead to run a photography business is daunting. Don't let the money deter you from your dreams. Find out what type of gear works best for your needs instead of buying what works for somebody else.
Some of my most successful friends have created a niche market in photography and they only own one, or maybe two, great lenses. That may not work for everyone – some subjects demand more gear – but the point is to keep it simple and start from humble beginnings. Make sure you are thoughtful about what you are choosing to spend your money on and only buy what you will consistently use. Slow and steady wins this race.
Find a Mentor
Finding a mentor is advice I hear over and over again. Mentors are few and far between, however. They need to be willing to share their industry knowledge with you, have the time to foster and nurture a relationship, and be someone who you look up to and want to emulate (but not copy). Mentors can be found in the most unassuming people, some of who have nothing to do with photography but have a great outlook on life, are out-of-the box thinkers, or have superb networking skills. These people can be found impromptu and last for a weekend, or sought out and last for a lifetime. The important part is to keep your eyes and ears open for the next Obi-wan who is willing to share some wisdom and remember to pay it forward when it is your turn.
Be a Lifelong Learner
I have made the mistake of exhausting myself by endlessly shooting and editing work that had no final purpose. But by shooting a lot I had found the subject matter I love and it helped define my style. However, there came a day when I realized I had stopped learning. My work stopped progressing and became stale to me. What I learned from that experience is that I had to stop doing what I was doing and change course.
My advice: continue to challenge yourself within your medium by shooting the exact opposite of what you like to shoot. You may not stick with it forever and return back to the subject matter you love but I guarantee it will bring a fresh perspective to your work. Study the greats like Irving Penn and also follow the newbies and see what they are doing. The wheel has been made, learn from it, and help contribute to its forward momentum by pushing yourself.
Have a Mantra
Embarking on new photography projects require a certain amount of confidence whether it is for a passion project that pushes you to work outside your comfort zone or shooting something you haven't had a lot of experience with for a client. You have ultimate power of the outcome by practicing mind over matter. What I say to myself any time I have a wince of uncertainty is this: "You're a badass". It's simple (if dramatic) but it helps me get over those hurdles every time. Develop your mantra.
Photography is not as simple as picking up a camera and setting your camera to "auto". Your craft has to be honed by countless failures to find what works best for you and nurtured by outside creative influences. It is your responsibility to understand your needs as a photographer and decide what gear you absolutely can not live without, but don't forget to reward yourself with the occasional splurge.
Find people whose work you love and send them an email or handwritten note (bonus points) – you never know which one of them will respond in like kindness and drop you a few pointers or perhaps become your new best friend. If ever your photography begins to feel like an automated process, change it up! Make happy accidents that will help your craft progress. And last but not least, be your biggest cheerleader.

Kym gives good advice for all artists, visual, written, and oral. It's a fine line an artist walks between fresh and creative and burned out and her advice on how to maintain confidence, purpose, and a sense of the provocative in one's work should be repeated as a 'mantra' (including 'I'm a badass') until they become close to second nature. Being an artist is not a part-time thing but a way of approaching, seeing, and appreciating life and Kym's work and advice show her to be a true artist. I feel refreshed seeing the world through her eyes. Thanks, Kym.
Kym, its a good reminder that the technical know-how and having the latest equipment needs to be balanced with the ability to refresh our inspiration and keep things new…[even though having some new equipment does get me shooting more]. Thanks for your insights and diversity of great images. It makes me want to grab my camera and explore a new way of looking at the world!
It always amazes me how each photographer has such a unique vision. Happy shooting….

If you want to save money then ditch unproductive players like Castro, Stanton, Coffey, Freel and Ross. You don't improve your team by ditching good players.
It has also been shown that there are not any good starting pitchers available as free agents this year. None. So forget about spending money to improve the starting pitching. It isn't going to happen.
There are a few good relievers out there. They will be very expensive and will probably cost more than they are worth, but the Reds will most likely get a couple of them anyway. You have to spend all that money on something to improve this team even a little bit. The Reds are not going to solve their problems via free agency.
There is no guarantee we will get any draft picks for Dunn if he walks. We would have to offer him arbitration, and if he accepts we could be forced to pay him $17-20 million for one season.
Even if we get draft picks for him, Krivsky has not shown any skill yet in selecting good players. His first two drafts have been extremely shaky if not downright awful based on early returns. I would rather not ditch our best hitter for a couple of long term "maybes" that might help us 5 years from now.
The Reds are not the Devil Rays or the Expos folks.
When you factor in dead money paid to departed players and deferred money owed to Griffey the Reds payroll is about $80 million. Add in the $20+ million the Reds organization made in profit and you can clearly see the Reds could have a $100 million payroll and still be making a profit.
The Reds have plenty of money to spend -- they just aren't spending it.
They can get away with this because Carl Lindner and John Allen did such a great job of pleading poverty (even though he is a billionaire!).
I for one will not go along with the "strategy" of dumping good players to save money so we can spend it in a low-quality free agent market this winter.
Keep the good players and go get some good free agents. Stop making excuses!
They should be able to spend on pitching as well. You lay out a very good outline of the payroll size they could absorb next year. NOw I don't expect them to pick up Jr.'s option in 2009, but they've got lots of room to work. I just don't agree that Allen is the poor mouthing guy other than having to toe that line while Lindner ran the ship. I think you see Allen much more in the background under Castellini, being the financial guy (a position he's good at, I think) and letting Krivsky and Castellini drive the other matters.

The dryer would stay off when the door is shut like it was supposed too. That is how I figured out I had a bad switch.

Despite injury, junior hits mark in long jump, helps 400-relay team qualify for Mt. SAC
Helbig said afterward that her confidence is her main obstacle as a runner.
"If I have a bad race, I tend to get down for a while and I tend to doubt my abilities," Helbig said. "That is something I have been working on a lot ever since my freshman year, really."
Performing in front of an enthusiastic gallery, Great Oak's Nick Ponzio took first with a shot put toss of 65-51/2. Even though it was more than 4 feet short of Ponzio's section record (69-71/4), the throw is unmatched by any other athlete in California this year.
Ponzio's teammate Justin Barlow opened eyes with a personal record of 57-113/4, a third-place mark that could qualify him for state if he can repeat it.
"I am more excited about his throw than I am my own throw," Ponzio said. "He's been at the 54-, 55-foot range the whole year. He finally put out a little grunt out there and he finally got a big throw."

WCET Predictive Analytics Reporting (PAR) Framework Project Delivers Millions of Course Records for Review and Analysis
Landmark multi-institutional federated online learning database results in over 640,000 student and 3,000,000 federated course-level records from six unique institutions.
Boulder, CO (PRWEB) October 17, 2011
WCET, the WICHE Cooperative for Educational Technologies, announces the successful federation of datasets from the six institutions participating in the PAR (Predictive Analytics Reporting) Framework proof of concept project just four months after the projectâs early June launch. The goal of the PAR Framework is to identify variables that influence student retention and progression and to determine the impact of various demographic data on factors influencing loss and momentum. The data will be used to explore patterns that emerge when the datasets from considerably different institutions are analyzed as a single, unified sample.
The dataset includes over 640,000 anonymized student records and over 3 million course level records, focusing on 33 common variables. The institutions represent public/private, two-year/four-year, and publicly-funded and proprietary institutions.
âœWe have been using analytics as a tool for improving student retention and progression for several years,â said Dr. Phil Ice, vice president, research & development, American Public University System, and principal investigator of the PAR Framework Project. âœUnifying records from multiple schools has the potential to expose generalizable patterns that can provide guidance to institutions across the board, regardless of their internal level of analytics expertise.â Ice continues, âœIn higher education, no predictive analytics project has been able to use a multi-institutional sample of this size. As a researcher, having a sample size of this number changes everything.â
The WCET member institutions engaged in the PAR Framework project include American Public University System (apus.edu), Colorado Community College System (cccs.edu), Rio Salado College (riosalado.edu), University of Hawaii System (hawaii.edu), University of Illinois Springfield (uis.edu) and the University of Phoenix (phoenix.edu). Each institution obtained IRB (Institutional Review Board) approval. All data was anonymized and encrypted to ensure that no data are personally identifiable.
âœWe had been warned that we could never find six schools willing to collaborate on something as sensitive as an institutional student and course level data federation project,â noted Ellen Wagner, WCET Executive Director. âœItâs exciting to see how forward-thinking WCET member institutions are bringing the power of âœbig dataâ to post-secondary education in the US. Not only is the magnitude of the data set unprecedented, the diversity of the participating institutions will provide us granular insight into similarity and differences across higher education institutions in the for profit, public and community college segments.â
A summary of first findings are scheduled for presentations at the 23rd Annual WCET Conference in Denver, Colorado October 27th. http://wcetconference.wiche.edu/
About the PAR Framework
The Predictive Analytics Reporting (PAR) Framework is a longitudinal data-mining project centered on conducting large-scale analyses of federated data sets contributed by postsecondary institutions to extend our understanding of student loss and momentum. The PAR Framework has been designed to better inform student loss prevention efforts and to identify drivers relating to promoting student progression and completion.
About WCET
The WICHE Cooperative for Educational Technologies (WCET) is a cooperative, membership-driven, non-profit provider of solutions and services that accelerate the adoption of effective practices and policies, advancing excellence in technology-enhanced teaching and learning in higher education.

I understand the launch of of the expansion and whatnot but if my issue is time related..like can't bring back deleted items/characters yada yada yada after 'X' amount of time, will their lapse in response work against me?
It is definitely not typical, no, and I apologize on behalf of the GM team for the increased wait time. There is currently a very high volume of tickets, and the GM team is working as fast as possible to answer them all. They answer tickets in the order received, so if you have not received a response yet, there are tickets ahead of yours.
While I do not work on tickets, I can ensure they are in the right queue. If you can send me a forum PM with your ticket number, I would be more than happy to do that.
Also, we are working on getting additional support so we can decrease the response wait time, so do know that we are aware of this and would like to get back to or typical response times as quickly as possible. Thanks for your continued patience and support.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx

It'd be pat to say MPP is their album about growing up, but it is one about endings and beginnings. They sing about starting families; they sing about people they once knew; they fret over whether their capacity for youthful abandon is waning, and whether that's just part of life. Panda Bear's lyrics—deliberately plainspoken—are a contrivance, but a comforting one. "I don't mean to seem like I care about material things" or "I know it sucks that Daddy's gone" aren't complicated phrases, but then again, neither are the sentiments. Tare, who used to skulk in the background like a nightmare waiting to happen, now has a searching, introspective presence. If there's any lyric that sums up the album, it's his: "Sometimes I don't agree with my thoughts on being free." That's not psychedelic—it's lightly neurotic.
If youth is wasted on the young, it makes sense that most of Animal Collective's fans are between 18 and 35—when youth is bruised by responsibility, when innocence requires will (and some ignorance), and when reality becomes, well, a reality. My favorite lines about the band—specifically, Panda Bear's solo track, "Bros"—were written as a parody of Pitchfork on the unfortunately titled blog Hipster Runoff: "I lost my virginity while listening to Panda Bear's Person Pitch in the back of a vintage Volvo after having dropped acid for the first time. I started crying because it was s000 beautiful. The next day I listened 2 it again, and it was s0 chill." A couple of years down the road, it's just music, and sex is just something you do after work. What used to feel radical is now serene and assimilated. One day, you're just on the public bus, listening to Merriweather Post Pavilion.

2003 Honda Pilot Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 25 reviews
The Honda Pilot is completely new in 2003, replacing the Honda Passport SUV. This is a full mid-size SUV that carries eight passengers, a V-6, 240-hp engine, and 4WD. Even with all the great features, it is not a workhorse dropping consumer ratings to about 9.0 / 10.0.
It is no surprise this Honda is rated highly by consumers. The 2003 Pilot carries forward all the traditional Honda trademarks such as quality, dependability, clean running, safe and economical. In case you don't have eight passengers, you may fold down the back two rows of seats to create enormous storage space.
The 3.5-liter engine supplies enough power to move this vehicle through traffic, and down the highway - but not so far off the road. Even with the larger engine, the Honda smart design is good on gas and on the environment.
Prices for used cars often vary, though it is safe to say that a price range between $14,000 and $22,500 for a 2003 Pilot is pretty accurate for a vehicle in good condition. All Pilot models have front-side airbags and are equipped with ABS disk brakes. In both front and side crash tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the 2003 Pilot score 5 out of a possible 5-stars.
