Avatar sucks, get over it
I went into Avatar not expecting much. I expected a mediocre, but pretty, action movie. Somehow, it went far, far below my low expectations and continued to become even worse. Here's why Avatar sucks
1.The Villain Has Less Depth Than Boris BadenovThe villain is all but giggling as he kills children and destroys homes, the villain hates blue people because they're stupid and don't appreciate humans invading their territory, the villain is not an actual character. He is a plot device. He exists for the audience to hate him. He has no real given motivation for his action (I GAWT THESE SCARS WHEN I INVADED THE NAVEE'S HOMEZ) and is so one-dimensional that he makes Boris Badenov from Rocky and Bullwinkle look like a well-developed character. The villain is also incredibly bad-ass to incredibly goofy degrees. He doesn't let problems like a lack of breathable air or being on fire stop him from killing blue people; he's still gonna over-dramatically kick doors open and start shooting. This is why he is the only likable character in the movie, he's the only one who seems to realize he's in a crappy movie and he just rolls with it. He's so insultingly simplistic that I love him and consider him to be the true hero of the movie. Also he makes really obvious political references that are several years old now (SHAWK AND AWE!).
2. I PLAY GOLFSpeaking of insultingly simplistic, there is the other villain who is less awesome: THE BIG CORPORATION CORPORATION INCORPORATED®. THE BIG CORPORATION CORPORATION INCORPORATED® wants the unobtanium because it does magic things that can be useful for making big ships and cool guns. The representative of THE BIG CORPORATION CORPORATION INCORPORATED® is as stereotypical as you can get, he's even playing golf on the ship. That's how creative they were with their characterization. See, in Avatar, you, the viewer, cannot be trusted to figure out anything beyond the most basic of concepts. This is why every single character is completely flat and fits in nicely with familiar stereotypes. Can't expect the billions of dollars to come in if the audience has to stop looking at the shiny stuff for a second to pay attention to characters.
3.Hi, I'm an idiotic douchebag, I'll be your protagonist this evening.I think James Cameron assumed that if he put someone in a wheelchair he could make them a douche and they'd still be likable. Sully is not remotely likable. He arrives on the planet, is a smartass for a while (and not a likable one) and then gets into the avatar. Once in the avatar he instantly can do everything, including walk in it. This would have been a good opportunity to make us warm up to Sully and grow to like him as a person by showing his struggle to relearn how to walk and the joy that comes from having full use of a body, even if it is not his own. Instead Avatar has him instantly be perfect at it, like most of what he does. Upon controlling the avatar, Sully becomes an even bigger douchebag as he jumps around like a moron and destroys equipment as scientists and other avatars tell him to stop being a moron and let them run some tests. He then runs outside and just skips around like an idiot. This is because Sully is one of the dumbest protagonists of all time. Apparently he was not a very good marine, I know several marines and they know to follow basic orders like "don't run around like a moron, we need to run some tests on your body." Apparently the standards have laxed in the future. If you told a marine to stay with the group because the entire planet is basically a deathtrap, they would not walk off to look at mushrooms and then get lost. Also in the future cellphones and tracking devices no longer exist because they can't seem to find Sully's avatar at all. Even though his body is beaming his brain signals to the avatar. Please note that these avatars cost millions of dollars and yet they have not put the most basic of tracking devices on them. My dog could be found more easily than the extremely expensive avatar. Back on subject though, Sully does stupid things and gets into further stupid adventures until he meets Love Interest. Love Interest is the daughter of the chief and next in line to be the
4.Sully is better than everyone because of reasonsAfter Sully gets the hangs of things in his avatar body, he goes on to become better than every actual Na'vi at just about everything. All this takes is a few montage scenes, and it doesn't ever feel like he worked at this. Because he's the protagonist, he gets to be super-cool and succeed without any real effort. You would think he would struggle with various Na'vi customs and ridiculous feats of athletic ability, but despite being a crippled human, he can do everything the Na'vi can, only better. He has slight struggles at the beginning, but after only three months of training, the cripple is now the best blue person who ever lived.
5.The world really isn't that interestingNow that I've actually seen Avatar, those idiots who wanted to commit suicide to be reincarnated on Pandora seem even dumber. Pandora is a jungle with more blue. There are some more phosphorous plants and big trees, but it's not all that different from a jungle at earth. All of the creatures are basically like a [insert animal here], but with 6 legs. Also, I find it rather odd that all but one species on the planet has 6+ limbs. The USB hair would be cool if they had actually done something with it. They plug into animals at the beginning, but it didn't really mean anything. Also they use their USB hair in sex, so bestiality is apparently quite common on Pandora.
6.Giant Dragons Make Everything BetterImagine your significant other told you they were actually there as a spy and getting close to you was part of their mission. This cliche' is quite common, but generally it doesn't also come along with an entire peoples' home being destroyed. In the real world, when something like this happens, riding a giant dragon doesn't count as an apology. Love Interest is happy to leave Sully for dead after he reveals that he was there to learn their ways just so they can be more easily conquered. Then he decides to go jump on the different colored dragon and the movie cuts away so they don't have to show him actually struggling to capture the thing that is supposedly really hard to control. He then rides the dragon into the midst of the Na'vi and they all love him again. Because he has a sweet dragon.
7.AND THEN GOD FIXED EVERYTHINGDeus ex Machina endings are bad enough, but when it's worse than that, when it's literally just God fixing everything, there's a problem. The vague Na'vi god decides that after half the Na'vi were dead it is time to make all of the animals attack the nasty humans. They don't ever attack the Na'vi, just the humans and the day is saved by the birds and dogs. This is the actual ending. God fixing everything. Also known as the laziest possible ending. Also during this final battle there is one human helicopter fighting on the side of the Na'vi, she is identified by the war paint on the chopper. For some reason none of the humans noticed this really obvious hint that she might have betrayed them and don't attack her until she attacks them, which is towards the end of the battle.
8.Cruel Na'vi's ThesisThe final mech vs. Sully battle was incredibly stupid. After jumping onto a mech while on fire, Villain starts a big fight against Sully. This mech has an Evangelion-style comically large knife. Which they use in their not very interesting final battle. While this whole battle is uninteresting, I find the large knife so stupid its worth mentioning. It's exactly like in Evangelion, just a knife that he pulls from the back of his armor. Also Villain looks really plastic during this final battle.
9. UnobtaniumI liked unobtanium when it was called upsidaisium in a Rocky and Bullwinkle storyline. In Avatar, a movie that takes itself seirously, it's just idiotic. Since it has become the future equivilent of oil, they would probably have a name for it by the time the movie takes place. Also, if they need unobtanium so badly, why not just mine it from the floating mountains? Given that they are floating, I'm guessing they have a pretty good amount of unobtanium inside. Wouldn't that be easier than going at war with the locals over their holy lands? Oh wait, I get it, Iraq. I see what they did there.
In conclusion...I could rant about Avatar for a lot longer than this, but I need to keep this at readable length. Avatar is a mess of a plot with no actual characters. The movie doesn't even try to make you care about anyone and the situations are so clumsily set-up that you can't really care about anything. The only real reason to like this movie is for special effects. If you like eyecandy, I can understand enjoying Avatar. The movie is very pretty and they did a really good job with how the Na'vi look. The problem is that good CGI does not a good movie make. I think once people start watching the movie again on DVD and Bluray not on a giant screen they'll start realizing that the only good part was the special effects which are much less impressive in your home.

A Rare Find
Despite being younger than most of his peers, collector Bob Radke has managed to uncover several highly unusual cars. One of these is Bob Wingate's '67 Factory Shop Order (FSO) Corvette, one of four such cars built between 1967 and 1970. "That's nice," you say, "but who is Bob Wingate, and what is an FSO car?" To answer those questions we have to travel back a few years.
While looking for a mid-'60s Vette he could work on himself, Radke was alerted to a big-block car in the Long Beach, California, area. Intrigued, Bob and his friend, Joe Rajacic, went to take a look. When the owner opened the garage door, Bob was confronted by a horrendous contraption with wild flares and hideous red paint. Despite the first impression, Bob and Joe nosed around. When Bob looked into the gas-tank area, he could see that the tank sticker indicated a 435hp car. The car's interior was good, and the asking price was reasonable. Bob pondered it for a while, then called another friend, Alex Bailey, to get a feel for what a car of this era and basic option mix might be worth. Alex felt that if the Vette was an original 435hp car, Bob probably couldn't go wrong. He said to go for it.
The Wingate Connection
More research indicated that a certain Bob Wingate might have had something to do with the car. While that didn't mean much to Radke at the time, he soon found out that Wingate had been pretty influential in the West Coast car scene of the '60s and '70s.
Wingate first came to prominence as Clippinger Chevrolet's top Corvette man. In fact, he and another salesman at Clippinger controlled that dealership's musclecar sales. Over time, they had come to an arrangement whereby Wingate specialized in Corvettes, and the other man specialized in Camaros. Bob Wingate was a parts pipeline for a lot of racers in this area, including James Garner's AIR cars.
Because of his sales numbers, Wingate received special treatment from GM. Part of the this treatment included four special-order Corvettes-the FSO cars-Chevy built specifically for him between the years 1967 and 1970.
The FSO Corvettes
When he began to research his new acquisition, Bob Radke soon discovered it was no run-of-the-mill car. The options sticker bore some unusual numbers, and carried the inscription "Build per FSO" near the bottom. Bob contacted experts Dave Burroughs, Noland Adams, and John Amgwert for more information.
Burroughs said he was not aware of any other documented FSO cars from this era, although there were such well-known one-offs as the side-pipe-equipped Harley Earl styling exercise (circa 1963). Certainly, there were no other mid-'60s street cars complete with window and tank stickers.
More talks with Bob Wingate revealed that the four FSO cars represented the peak of his career achievements. While working for Clippinger around 1964, he was recruited by GM's Joe Pike to travel about the western half of the United States to help set up Corvette clubs. In early 1966, Bob was invited back to Dearborn by Lee Iaccoca, then at Ford, to see if he could do the same thing for the Mustang and Cobra. Fortunately, the guys higher up in GM got wind of the Ford invitation and asked Pike to do something exceptional for Wingate as an incentive to stick around. Since GM was already providing Wingate with a Corvette to drive, Pike decided to give him a very special Corvette.
Performance Bonus
This first "special" car was built around August 1966. It was a '67 coupe with flared wheelwells, candy-apple-green paint, a light-blue Stinger stripe (a favorite styling cue of Wingate's), a tube grille, smoothed-in front turn signals, and a few other special features that weren't on the options list. Later, after the car had been delivered, some GM personnel saw it during a trip to California. One of them suggested it might not be a great idea to have Wingate running around in what was essentially a show car. They decided to build him a replacement that was a little closer to factory specs.

We realize that hot Camaros represent more than troops for the Pro Touring phenom and its recent offshoots. There are plenty of enthusiasts out there who don't aspire to race course shenanigans or feel the need to participate against others in order to satisfy some form of bloodlust. They like to drive and they like to look, and most of all they like looking good. As you will see, Rich Taylor's perseverance has brought him the accolades and the awards that usually follow. People took notice. People voiced their opinions. People brought him back home.
"I think the paint is the unique feature," opined Rich. "A custom mix of Black Cherry Pearl on top and a blend of Torch Red and Hugger Orange on bottom, accented with tangerine flames and pinstripes. In the shade, the top of the car looks deep black, but when the sun hits it, the black cherry pops out. I also have ghosted-in stripes and flames under the black cherry on the hood and trunk. All of it unnoticeable until the sun hits it just right."
Rich had ideas. Some of them didn't work but still he rode the process until there was no more to be had … and then resolutely marched ahead to a fresh calling. He played some weird combos along the way, all of them in this 1972 Chevy Camaro SS. Luck for Rich he'd found the right woman. Kim backed him up. Kim worked on the car with him. Kim clamped his fear of failure. She brought their newborn daughters home from the hospital in the cars that she and Rich had built together. Pal Joe Lucas appeared at a moment's notice to do anything that needed to be done.
Rich: "I can remember my brother Steve reading Hot Rod magazine and we would dream of having nice cars someday. We learned how to work on cars, because we couldn't afford to have someone else fix it for us … the thought process being, 'If it breaks, take it apart and put the new parts in the way the old ones came out.' He saved up his burger-joint stash and bought a '74 Javelin AMX. Two months later, it got away from him. It was a steaming pile. Kaput. Next, a '76 Grand Prix that wouldn't go any faster despite what Rich administered. An '84 Cutlass with a 350 small-block came around. After Desert Storm, Rich got out of the service and doted on crazy-fast crotch rockets. Result: A nasty tumble broke his neck and his back in two places and shattered a femur. When he was in the hospital, he met Kim through a friend. Things between them clicked.
Bikes were verboten, but cars were really okay with Kim. Rich tooled a '71 Buick GS and did so for the next two years. They brought daughter Number One home in it. Shortly afterward, Rich felt the boot heel of reality dig into his neck and he tidied up—sold the car, bought a house, and concentrated on family. Four years later, he saw the ride of his dreams at Classic Auto Showplace in Troy, Michigan. Mere minutes later, it seemed, the car was in his garage; the beginning of an epic build.
Nitrous oxide behind a supercharged punch sounded about right to Rich. Much experimentation with fuel delivery species, Weber side drafts and, at no small expense, a Momar Fuel Injection (Boulder, Colorado) multi-port system with billet throttle bodies were adapted to the Weiand 144 supercharger. The come-back on Kinsler's dyno was 600 crankshaft horsepower.
Rich tried his hand at big car shows, like the Toledo Autorama in 2003. In a heavy snow storm, the Taylor's drove their prodigy to the show. Eyes popped. Jaws dropped. What's with these kids? An hour later, they had it cleared and dry. Not long after, they were awarded class winner (conservative hardtop '70-79) and were chosen as Super Chevy's Pick of the Show. All right, now! They missed the Norwalk Super Chevy event. Daughter Number Two popped from her warm, dark cradle and into the daylight that same weekend. They trundled her home in the Camaro.

We started our upgrade on Sunday 25th of September, and the forums were mostly offline for the two days that followed. And after that, as you may know, many basic forum features didn't work properly, it has literally taken us this long up until this week to sort out those issues, and we still have a list of things that need doing (like syncing main page avatars with the forum ones, among others).
Anyway, what has happened in the last year then?
Tom Warren, who had been here almost from the start went off to launch his own website: winrumors.com on the 25th of October last year, and has done really well since. I always knew he'd do well, and I wish him all the best with that venture, he seems to have made a huge impact already, like he did here at Neowin for the nine years previous.
Tim Kimberl (Timan) stepped down from the developer team, at the end of last month after nine years of making Neowin look great, but he did agree to help us with the upgrade and support Pegasus, which he has done, only yesterday he applied a fix for the main page, so I'm really glad he's still available for those things.
It's not all bad though,
We hired John Callaham back in May to write for Neowin full time, and he has managed to double the amount of content for our main page, starting of with an emphasis on gaming, which is the area he comes from, but that has steadily progressed to tech news and even a couple of editorials that have been very good to read.
The feedback from that decision has been mostly positive, so I feel we're moving in the right direction on that front
And last but not least, our staff team.
In all the years of doing Neowin, I have had to deal mostly with volunteer staff, but never has there been a time quite like the last year that I really feel I'm dealing more and more with professionals, so kudos to the whole staff team for that and making my life bearable!
I say this every year, but we wouldn't be where we are today if not for the support of our members and staff, so give yourselves a big pat on the back, you deserve it, and I can only hope the same level of support continues well into the 2010's and beyond.
Now for a giveaway
Ten Tier 2 subscriptions are up for grabs, these are for new members that have registered here on Neowin after October 1st 2011.
To qualify:
- You must have more than ten posts, that are on topic and helpful (by Oct 23rd when the draw is made)
- You must enter your intent to take part in the draw in this topic
There will be a random draw of ten people who replied to this topic with their own memories of their time here, or how you found Neowin for example, everyone can participate, current subscribers (if drawn) will have their subscription upgraded from Tier 1 to Tier 2 and extended for another year, members will get a year Tier 2, which is ad free and adds a "special" forum among other enhancements for your experience here.
The draw will be made on Sunday October 23rd, and winners announced here.
Thanks again everyone, on behalf of the whole team we appreciate it.

Yet another poll shows President Obama with a commanding lead among Latino voters. According to a survey commissioned by NBC News, the Wall Street Journal and Telemundo, Obama leads Romney 67 percent to 23 percent among Latino registered voters. Romney's favorability with Latinos is incredibly negative, with 22 percent saying they have a positive view of the former Massachusetts governor, and 44 percent saying they have a negative view. Moreover, Romney hasn't convinced Latinos that he would be effective on the economy; 53 percent say that Obama has better ideas to improve the economy, compared to 22 percent for Romney. Overall, 58 percent of Latinos approve of Obama's handling of the economy.
It should be said that this has the virtue of being true; Romney's plan for the economy—a series of small bore measures to increase energy production and bolster trade relationships—would have a small affect on the short-term economy. And his tax plan, which ends several stimulus related tax breaks, would reduce tax benefits for working Americans, and leave them with slimmer pocketbooks. Because Latinos are disproportionately lower-income, these policies would have a greater and more deleterious affect on their well-being.
One last thing. Obama has a strong advantage among Latinos, but they're still less enthusiastic than voters writ large:
[T]he number of Latinos who are enthusiastic about voting (ranking their interest in voting at 8,9, or 10 on a scale of 1–10, per NBC's model), is at 68 percent. By comparison, 79 percent of all voters put themselves in that "high-interest category.
It almost goes without saying that Obama's bid for re-election depends on his ability to bring Latino turnout to 2008 levels, or even a little higher. With high nonwhite turnout in general, he can make up for his weakness with white voters. Anything less, and we can look forward to President-Elect Romney on November 7th.

Three months is an eternity in politics. Will the voters believe the economy has improved enough on election day to reelect? At this point the electoral votes are very soft. I thought four years ago that the economy was going to be so bad that whoever won was likely to be a one term president. It's truly a shame. If the one shot stimulus had been bigger, big banks broken up, and financial regulation strengthened when he had a Democratic congress I think his chances would be much better. These things are still theoretically possible but only if Obama is reelected. Otherwise, expect the concentration of the nation's wealth to continue to rise to the top and the safety net to continue to deteriorate.

I think Romney's choice of Ryan was intended to sacrifice the middle of the road, and make up for it by exciting the Tea Party to do all that door knocking work. In the last election, Obama was sold as somewhat better than the second coming. No matter how good a president he is, he can never live up to that billing. Inevitably his supporters will not be as enthusiastic as last time. One the other paw, Romney is far crazier than McCain, so people may turn out to vote just to ensure he does not win. Crooked voting machines and crooked voter registration filtering is much more important than the Obama camp realises.

This summer, the folks at Disney's Pixar studios introduced a new film set to rival all the Disney princess movies that have come before: Brave. Set in Tenth Century Scotland, the movie Brave stars the spirited Merida who defies her parents' wishes for her marriage by placing a spell on her mother. The spell causes all sorts of upheaval in her father's kingdom and she has to set things right.
What makes Merida, this new princess, so special? Well, not since Mulan have we seen such a strong, adventurous female heroine. In fact, Merida is Pixar's very first female protagonist. For many viewers, this will be a breath of fresh air. Another difference between Brave and the other Disney princess movies is the story's centrality of her relationship with her mother. In most of the Disney movies, mothers are either absent (as in the movie Beauty and the Beast) or one of the antagonists (as in Cinderella).
In the movie Brave, we see the internal battle that Merida fights between her own desires and how they affect her family. Pride vs. duty. In the end, Merida and her family reach a compromise. And her relationship with her mother survives the harrowing adventure.
Brave is receiving good reviews and promises to set itself up as the next favorite for young Disney and Pixar fans across the country. Merida has already made her appearance at Disney World and Disney has begun producing Brave merchandise. It will be interesting to see how Pixar's new star compares to their other fan favorites like Cars and Toy Story (Check out some Cars and Toy Story merchandise here and here.)!

How to configure and set up your Peaklife GPS
This is actually a repost.
=== cut and paste ================================================== ==============
What distinguishes a motorcycle GPS unit from an automotive unit is they have a waterproof and shock proof case unlike a more fragile automotive unit. Motorcycle units also have the ability to provide voice prompts over a wireless blue tooth connection to a helmet head set and usually include mounting hardware and power supplies for both a car and motorcycle. Usually their touch screens are also optimized to work well with a gloved hand even in the rain. Perhaps because of the much more limited market for motorcycle GPS units, and additional features they require, they are much less widely available and usually 2-3x more expensive than basic automotive GPS units.
The Peaklife Motorcycle GPS unit is unique among motorcycle GPS units in that it sells at a price similar to entry level, brand name, automotive units. It's also an open system that comes with Windows CE (light weight version of windows for phones and hand held devices) but no GPS software or maps. While the open nature of the unit does not restrict what kinds of software or maps can be installed or what features can be enabled, it does require some basic computer skills (eg. knowledge of file explorer, file torrents, zip files, mounting external file systems to your computer and transferring files to them via USB) from the user to initially set up and configure. It will typically take users 1-2 hours to initially configure the unit before they can use it. In short if you like messing around on your computer you'll love this unit but if you don't you will probably be more satisfied with a more expensive, but pre configured motorcycle unit from Garmin or TomTom.
The following document attempts to guide the reader through the process of obtaining the correct software and recent maps as well as installing and configuring the unit.
Powering Up
Chances are when you first unpack the unit the internal battery will be dead and you will need to fully charge it. The USB cable included with the unit for connection to your computer will not charge it. You either need to charge it from a separately purchased USB charger, many cell phones use one, or connect the 12v motorcycle power supply and charge it that way, or leave it in your car overnight plugged into the cigarette lighter adapter. Note not all cars supply power to the cigarette lighter while the key is removed from the ignition so you will need to verify this. There is a blue light on the cigarette lighter adapter that will allow you confirm it is getting power. However you choose to charge the unit you will need to fully charge it before progressing to installing the software.
Obtaining Software
The best place to obtain software for the unit is a torrent site like www.piratebay.se. You will need to download and install a torrent download client like uTorrent first if you do not already have one installed on your computer. You will also need a RAR file program such as WinRAR to decompress the downloaded RAR files. RAR files are like ZIP files in that they compress a huge directory structure and all it's files into a single file for downloading.
Tips for downloading WinRAR and uTorrent software: Avoid, if possible, installing any additional spamware like search bars that often come packaged within freeware install programs. If you cannot avoid installing you can later remove them using your computer's control panel. Just select add/remove programs within the program to later remove spam ware.
download WinRAR Software
download uTorrent Software
Downloading Primo application software and maps Tune your browser to a torrent site like www.PirateBay.se,. On the site search for "Primo or iGo" for the GPS application software and look for the latest version. You need the Windows CE version. Sometimes they are labeled as Windows Ce and other times just alternate operating system. There are different versions for Android and other operating systems so be sure to select the correct version and read the download notes before downloading. Search for "Navteq
NOTE – on the pirate bay website DO NOT click on the big download buttons. These are for an advertiser (scam) and will have you downloading junk. Instead click on the small link to the left that says download torrent magnet file. A torrent magnet file tells your torrent client program how to download the selected software. Downloading the torrent magnet file will usually launch your torrent program otherwise save it to your desktop and later open it with your torrent program. Suggested torrents are (note these may change in future):
Primo version 126.96.36.199.5 magnet torrent file
Navteq maps for North America
Software Installation
Extract the software and maps from the RAR files downloaded earlier to your desktop.
Create a directory called GPS on your desktop or elsewhere. Under this create a directory called MAP_DATA.
Under MAP_DATA create directories called MAP, POI and BUILDING. Copy the map files from the expanded Navtec maps you downloaded earlier, into the MAP directory. The point of interest files into the POI directory and the building files into the BUILDING directory. Note, not all map data contains building info. Your GPS will work fine without this but will not show the buildings in 3D without it. If your downloaded map data does not have building info, also download an older version of Navteq maps and use the building info files from this along with your most recent maps.
HINT (Shortcuts in file explorer to copy): In file explorer CTRL-A selects all files in a directory. CTRL-C selects alls selected files for copying. SHIFT-INS pastes all files previosly selected with CTRL-C into the new directory.
Next copy all the files in the application package into the same GPS directory. One of these directories should be called Primo. Be sure all the data under Primo is also copied in the same structure it was downloaded in. If there are folders under Primo->Content named Map, POI or Building delete these or they will cause problems.
The file sys.txt located in the application directory (Primo) is used to set the program's initial defaults. You need to edit this. Delete any entries under the [files] section or just comment them out by placing a ";" semi colin in front of them. Comments are proceeded by a semi colin and will not be read by the program. Paste the following under the [folders] heading. You should only have one [folders] heading in this file.
This tells the program where to look for the map, poi and buildings directories. Since these take up a lot of memory and there is only so much on the SIMM card and resident flash memory, it is best to split the program and map data so the program is installed on the SIMM card, and the map data is installed on the resident flash memory.
When you plug in the GPS unit to your computer via the included power cable, be sure to turn on the unit before doing this, two new drives should show up under MyComputer in file explorer. The first drive is the resident flash in the unit and the second drive is the SIMM card in the unit.
Copy the Primo folder under GPS to the resident flash memory (first drive). Copy the MAP_DATA folder to the SIMM card (second drive). Unplug the unit. The windows CE default screen should be displayed. Select SETTINGS. Scroll to the right by touching the right arrow and select NaviPath. This is where you get to tell the unit where the Primo software is installed. Touch the magnifying glass and select ResidentFlash. This should show the directories under it. Select Primo and then Primo.exe. Do not select Navigation Auto Run at power on for now. Once you have confirmed the unit is functioning OK you can later go back and select this. This option will power up the GPS software when the unit is turned on. Without it you will need to manually select the GPS option under the Windows Ce menu to start up Primo. So start up primo and see if it runs. Best to do this out doors if you cannot get a GPS signal.
If you get an error like missing map data you typed something wrong in the sys.txt file and will need to correct it. Be sure the entries in the sys.txt file match the directories you created on the unit.
Resident Flash Memory and SIMM Card Directories
The ResidentFlash directory exists on the GPS device by default and does not have to be created. The ResidentFlash directory name is only visible when viewed on the device. On a PC it will simply appear as a drive letter. The SDMMC directory (SIMM card) is the same. It will only be visible on the device and on the PC will simply appear as a drive letter.

Further instructions for installing maps in Peaklife GPS
Thank you very much for posting this. It could not have come at a better time. My Peaklife arrived just 3 days ago.
Here are a couple comments and helpful tips for others who are going to follow these instructions.
1) Your computer may not load the SIMM card and the resident flash memory in the same order each time you plug the GPS in. On my machine a drive called "TFAT" loads, this is the resident flash memory. The SIMM card loads as "Removable Disk", much the same as a usb stick would.
2) When you download the Primo from the link above you will find Primo2 embedded within a second Primo2 directory. Remove it so the files are only 1 directory deep, not 2, or the software will lockup.
3) You need to use on the sys.txt files that come in the download. Choose the 320x240 version as this is the resolution of the Peaklife
4) I was never able to get the maps to load using this script:
So instead I went with the default script that came in the download. So instead of installing the maps onto the SIMM, just install the maps in the Primo2\Content\Map, Primo2\Content\POI, Primo2\Content\Building directories. There is plenty of space on the resident flash to fit all the maps and POT's for North America (I didn't install the buildings as they were not in that download, so I am unsure if they would fit)
5) The Primo download above only includes voice navigation in Greek. I had to go looking around for English voice files. I apologize but I lost the link before I thought of typing out these notes here. They were not hard to find in the same torrent place as above. Just copy them into the Content/Voice folder.

I too am in North America and all maps fit (with 224 MB to spare) on the resident flash. This is using the maps provided in your link. Odd that it would be different. My Peaklife came with 2GB of resident flash- do you have something different?
The issues are not with directory nomenclature, I attempted the rewrite the sys.txt with the directory structure provided to me from the the download, as well as renaming it to Primo as per your instructions. I had no issues with getting Primo to run (I successfully changed the Navipath), it was getting Primo to recognize the maps outside of Primo/Content.
Your instructions were very clear and all steps were very successful. This was my only hangup (that I was easily remedied once I realized that all the maps fit on the resident drive)

I got one of these units but am having problems with the auto shutdown and restarting again.
What happens is I turn it off, it counts down to to ten and goes to sleep. So far so good! Turn the ignition back on and it all lights up but then a few seconds later, the whole thing freezes.
Any solutions, as I've tried a couple of different versions of IGO.............I'm using the latest 2.4 but still does it.
If someone has it this function running correctly, I'd be gratefuel to know what settings you're using.
thanks heaps

Is it iGo freezing, or the GPS freezing?
I've got iGo running on the internal flash, and OziCE running on the SD Card, and have noticed that occasionally when I restart the bike with the GPS plugged in it'll turn off and stay off, no matter which program I'm running at the time.

I don't use the auto shutdown - mine runs all the time unless I turn it off manually. I've been bitten before trusting devices to turn themselves off.

So, do you still run through the ignition, or straight to the battery on the bike. I'm guessing that the gps battery would die out eventually anyway.

Transfer routes from PC to Peaklife
This took me a while to get right so I thought I would pass it on. I am running Igo Primo. You can plan a route in Google Earth, Google Maps or Tyre and save as a KML file. Connect the Peaklife by USB cable to the PC and wait for it to be recognised. My device shows up as 2 separate drives in Windows Explorer - one is the main memory of the device and one is the SD card. On my machine the main device is identified as TFAT - this is where the routes need to be stored. Go to \content\userdata\route and paste the KML in here. Unplug the GPS and restart Igo Primo. Click on My Rote then choose More then the down button and click Load Route.
The naming of the route is taken from the first waypoint ie it ignores what you called the file. This may make choosing the correct route less than obvious if you have a lot of routes. If it is a problem you can open the KML file in a text editor and change the name of the first waypoint.
There is a lot of conflicting advice on the net about where the KML should go - it may depend which version of Igo you are running. The above works for me.

I have tried this and instead of the IGO Primo routing the way I laid out in the KML it routes the fastest/shortest/etc whatever the setting is in the software. Does yours do this also? I cannot seem to get it to take me the route I have carefully laid out in google earth.

Fire destroys Rutland gun shopBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | February 20,2013Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Rutland firefighters sift through the garage behind 12 Elm St. in Rutland Tuesday, on morning after an early morning blaze destroyed the property.A gun shop in business for more than 30 years was destroyed Tuesday in an early morning fire.
Rutland City firefighters responded to a home at 12 Elm St. around 8 a.m. to find flames and a lot of smoke coming out of a two-bay garage that housed the gun shop. Fire Chief Robert Schlachter said it took his crew about 20 minutes to douse the flames, and the building was a total loss.
Everything in there was pretty well damaged, he said.
Brad LaFaso, the departments deputy chief of operations who was in charge of the scene, said the cause of the fire was unknown Tuesday, but that it was not considered suspicious. He said fire investigators believe the fire started near one of the bay doors and then spread.
The fire was contained to the garage building. The nearby home and a vehicle near the garage were not damaged. But a pickup truck and everything inside the garage and gun shop was a total loss, LaFaso said.
We heard loud pops and bangs, but we didnt know if it was the ammunition or springs coming undone in the doors, LaFaso said. That is when we went into a defensive operation.
Schlachter said the firefighters did not enter the building because they did not know the strength of the structure. Instead they doused it from the outside.
We wanted to err on the side of caution, the chief said.
He said they took precautions because of the ammunition in the shop. While bullets can cause a lot of damage, he said, the projectiles travel at a lower velocity than if shot from a gun.
Ammunition in a box, the casing goes one way while the projectile goes the other way, Schlachter said.
LaFaso said the home and business owner, Geraldo King, 86, was home when the fire broke out but did not know it was going on. He said a neighbor who saw the smoke tried to warn King, but was unsuccessful and called the fire department.
One of his granddaughters said he usually goes into work sometime between 9 and 11 a.m., LaFaso said.
Donna LaRose, who lives across the street, was alarmed to see the fire in the shed behind Kings house a little before 8 a.m.
I see smoke, flames, shooting out over there, she said. I came out and screamed, Somebody call 911!
King was evacuated as a precaution. No injuries were reported from the fire.
LaFaso said investigators will probably determine the cause of the fire within the next couple of days.

Natural-born citizen is a term used in some countries to describe a certain kind of citizenship in terms of a requirement for eligibility to serve as head of state of a given country. It is mentioned in the United States Constitution as a requirement for the President and Vice President of the US.
Although the United States Constitution does not explicitly define the term "natural born citizen", Section 8 of Article I confers on Congress the power: "To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization..." This power has been construed to include defining the characteristics of a "natural born citizen", as well as the conditions of "naturalization".
Section 1 of Article II of the Constitution contains the clause:
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.Additionally, the 12th Amendment to the Constitution states that: "[N]o person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
It is thought the origin of the natural-born citizen clause can be traced to a letter of July 25, 1787 from John Jay (who had been born in New York City) to George Washington (who had been born in Virginia), presiding officer of the Constitutional Convention. John Jay wrote: "Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Commander in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen." There was no debate, and this qualification for the office of the Presidency was introduced by the drafting Committee of Eleven, and then adopted without discussion by the Constitutional Convention. (43 of the 55 delegates had been born in the Thirteen Colonies, and the others had been born on British-occupied soil: Ireland, England, Scotland, and the British West Indies. )
The 2003 Equal Opportunity to Govern Amendment, a proposed amendment to the US Constitution, would, if adopted, have removed the prohibition against naturalized citizens holding the office of the President.
"The constitutional wording has left doubts about whether those born on foreign soil are on an equal footing with those whose birth occurred inside the country's borders, and whether they have the same rights." Though every president and vice president to date (as of 2008) has either been a citizen at the adoption of the Constitution, or else born in a U.S. state or Washington D.C., a number of presidential candidates have been born elsewhere.
Barry Goldwater, who ran as the Republican party nominee in 1964, was born in Arizona while it was still a U.S. territory. Although Arizona was not a state, it was a fully organized and incorporated territory of the United States.
George Romney, who ran for the Republican party nomination in 1968, was born in Mexico to U.S. parents. Romney's grandfather emigrated to Mexico in 1886 with his three wives and children after Utah outlawed polygamy. Romney's parents retained their U.S. citizenship and returned to the United States in 1912. Romney was 32 years old when he arrived in Michigan.
John McCain, who ran for the Republican party nomination in 2000 and is the Republican nominee in 2008, was born at the Coco Solo U.S. military base in the Panama Canal Zone to U.S. parents. Although the Panama Canal Zone was not considered to be part of the United States, federal law states: "Any person born in the Canal Zone on or after February 26, 1904, and whether before or after the effective date of this chapter, whose father or mother or both at the time of the birth of such person was or is a citizen of the United States, is declared to be a citizen of the United States. The law that conferred this status took effect on August 4, 1937, one year after John McCain was born — albeit with retroactive effect, resulting in McCain being declared a U.S. citizen.
The requirements for citizenship and the very definition thereof have changed since the Constitution was ratified in 1788. Congress first recognized the citizenship of children born to U.S. parents overseas on March 26, 1790, under the first naturalization law: "And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or outside the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens." (See ref. for the Act of 1795)
The Fourteenth Amendment mentions two types of citizenship: citizenship by birth and citizenship by law (naturalized citizens): "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
All persons born in the United States, except those not subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. government (such as children of foreign diplomats) are citizens under the Fourteenth Amendment. Persons born in the United States, and persons born on foreign soil to two U.S. parents, are born American citizens and are classified as citizens at birth under 8 USC 1401. There is some debate over whether persons who were born US citizens and are classified as citizens at birth under U.S. law should also be considered citizens "by birth," whether they should all be considered to be "naturalized," or whether they should be considered "statutory citizens." There is also some debate over whether there is a meaningful legal distinction between citizens "at birth", citizens "by birth" and "statutory citizens" since U.S. law makes no such distinction, nor does the Fourteenth Amendment use the term "at birth." Current U.S. statutes define certain individuals born overseas as "citizens at birth. One side of the argument interprets the Constitution as meaning that a person either is born in the United States or is a naturalized citizen. According to this view, in order to be a "natural born citizen," a person must be born in the United States, or possibly an incorporated territory; otherwise, they are a citizen "by law" and are therefore a "statutory citizen," (not necessarily, however, a naturalized citizen, which implies a pre-existing foreign citizenship). Current State Department policy reads: "Despite widespread popular belief, U.S. military installations abroad and U.S. diplomatic or consular facilities are not part of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment. A child born on the premises of such a facility is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and does not acquire U.S. citizenship by reason of birth. However, the State Department is of the opinion that this does not affect those who are born abroad to U.S. citizens and who otherwise meet the qualifications for statutory citizenship.

But if Vetinari left DW, then we would know Pratchett's writing career is over. In fact it might already be, what with Snuff on the shelves and him becoming more and more unable.
That might be your opinion, but I certainly don't agree. I didn't like Making Money much, but I don't see it as a deterioration of Terry's creative abilities. And his other recent books have been excellent - in my opinion.
I know some people didn't like Snuff, but I thought it was excellent. Don't write Terry off so easily.

Swim Course
With the water temperature in the mid to high 70′s, swimming in the James River can be very comfortable. The river can have a strong current depending on the weather conditions. As a result, we have designed a swim course that can be reversed depending on the current.
Swim Course: Olympic
Swim Course: Half
Bike Course
After leaving Jamestown Beach Park, Olympic athletes will head North to Centerville Rd and take a left at Jolly Pond Rd. Jolly Pond Rd makes a circle and meets back up with Centerville Rd after approximately 7-miles. This loop has a fast downhill to start and then climbs back up for the remaining 4-miles. Cyclists take a Rt on Centerville to go back to the first Jolly Pond Rd entrance and do the loop a second time. Once meeting back up with Centerville, cyclists will take LEFT onto Centerville and RIGHT onto Opportunity Way which will lead them to Warhill Sports Complex and T2.
The Half bike course is flat flat flat! The Half course is all new this year with flat, quiet roads for the first 25-miles. There are train tracks at the 25-mile mark which may require athletes to stop for train traffic. We will have a timing mat at this location to deduct any time lost due to train traffic from your finish time. After crossing the tracks, cyclist will do a straight 12-mile stretch on Rte 60 before turning at Anderson's Corner and then onto Forge Rd where the roads get very quiet but continue to be flat. After the turn around at the abandoned Golf Course on Diascund Rd, cyclists will head towards T2 via rolling terrain on Little Creek Dam Rd, Cranston Mill Pond Rd and finally onto Jolly Pond Rd. The last 5-miles are a flat. comfortable ride into T2.
Bike Course: Olympic
Bike Course: Half
Run Course
This flat run is a combination of on and off road but entirely inside the Warhill Sports Complex. There will be an aid station approximately every mile and porta potties. This is a great spectating course, offering people many opportunities to cheer on their athletes. The Olympic consists of 2 loops while the half consists of 4 loops. The first 2-miles are on the WISC trail system which is a wide, rolling hardpack trail, a favorite running location for local runners including the Nationally ranked William&Mary Cross Country team. The final mile-plus of the loop is a slight uphill on an asphalt running path leading back up to T2 and Wanner Stadium. The multi-loop course will give spectators ample opportunities to cheer on their favorite athletes.

A HAWKSHEAD Brewery beer was voted overall champion at the Brewers' Society Northern Beer Competition held in Manchester.
Hawkshead Brewery's Windermere Pale won the gold medal in the bitter pale ales category and a second gold for being judged overall champion of the competition.
Some 250 beers from 80 breweries were entered into the competition run by the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA).
The North region is the largest of the seven SIBA regions of Britain.
The beers are judged in one of eight categories, the bitter category being the biggest.
Category winners then go forward to a national competition of winners of all seven regions.
Windermere Pale at 3.5% abv is hoppy and refreshing, pale gold in colour with a long bitter finish with hints of grapefruit.
The fruity hop flavours come from a medley of traditional and modern hops.
Managing director of Hawkshead Brewery Alex Brodie said: "Windermere Pale is a very popular beer, it has a lot of fans.
"It has become the best selling beer in The Beer Hall at the Brewery.
"It is one of those beers that is winning converts to real ale."
A GOVERNMENT appointed planning inspector has ruled that an ancient Lake District fell pass is out of bounds for motorised vehicles.
The decision by the Secretary of State to make Garburn Pass, between Troutbeck and Kentmere, a 'restricted byway' follows three years of legal argument.
It means that any motorist or motorcyclist using the pass is committing a criminal offence and could face serious legal consequences.
The inspector went through hundreds of pages of documents ranging from maps of 1822, guide books of the 1880s, and photographs of motorbikes using the pass in the 1920s.
The Lake District National Park Authority has also announced that thanks to around £55,000 of Government funding invested in repairs following the 2009 floods, the pass is probably in better condition than it has been for hundreds of years.
"The storms of November 2009 badly damaged both sides of the pass, especially the western side where the track effectively became a river, and most of the surface ended up on the main road," said National Park Countryside Access Adviser Nick Thorne.
"We were able to obtain significant funding under the Paths for the Public Project, funded by Defra, the Rural Development Programme for England, and Cumbria County Council. And we have now completely rebuilt the worst affected areas in three stages with the work being carried out by our own staff, the National Trust, and a local contractor."

These days, GM has the unibody thing all ironed out. The result is lightweight chassis that are substantially stiffer and stronger than yesteryear's full-frame cars, and for resounding evidence, look no further than the fifth-gen Camaro. Not only does it handle the tremendous loads imparted by 426 hp, 4,100 pounds of mass, and over 0.90 g of lateral grip, it does the deed without main 'rails running along its perimeter to help stiffen things up. Unfortunately, even full-frame cars of the '50s and '60s aren't nearly as stiff as modern unibody cars, and twist up like the storyline of Lost once some modern horsepower and tire grip are thrown into the mix. Recognizing this problem long ago, companies have been churning out chassis stiffening components for quite some time. Unlike unibody cars like Camaros and Novas that can be substantially stiffened up with subframe connectors and aftermarket front and rear clips, there is no easy fix with full-frame Tri-Five Chevys. The solution is engineering a completely new frame from the ground up, and innovative aftermarket chassis builders have done just that. To find out what's involved in pulling off such a conversion, and how much a full-frame swap can improve ride and handling, we sought out the expertise of the top chassis builders in the business. Thanks to Craig Morrison and Matt Jones of Art Morrison Enterprises, and Steve McClenon of Hotrods to Hell, we got thoroughly schooled on the inner workings of an aftermarket full-frame chassis. Here's the scoop.
Aftermarket Frames
Matt Jones: The original frames used in the '50s and '60s were merely a way for the engineers to mount suspension components to some sort of structure as cheaply as possible. Most of the structural integrity was handled by the body, which was deemed enough for the vehicle's intended usage without much additional support from the frame. By today's standards, vintage cars with full frames or unibody construction are very flexible. Open-channel cross-sections were very popular during the '50s and well into the '80s because they were cheap to produce and provided increased cabin space. Materials were designed to be thin, which reduced material cost and tooling wear during production. Today, much more focus is placed on overall structural strength as a way to improve the overall quality of a vehicle. Modern cars can have more than double the torsional stiffness than vehicles made in the '50s and '60s. Chassis stiffness is very important to ride and handling, and factory muscle car bodies need all the help they can get. With increases in spring and roll rates, more stress is placed on the body and frame. Stiffer structures will allow the suspension to work more efficiently, which makes transitional handling more crisp, and also reduces interior rattles by a significant amount. They're also safer and provide improved ride quality.
While it is difficult to increase the body's strength, we can focus our attention on the chassis to make sure it is as stiff as possible while maintaining packaging constraints. Designing an entirely new frame allows much more freedom of design than simply designing around an existing frame. Suspension design can be revised for more aggressive handling and to accept modern lightweight components, such as tubular control arms and lighter steering racks. Framerails can be narrowed or shaped to allow wider tires while still maintaining an acceptable turning radius. Finally, material shape and thickness can be optimized for increased strength without gaining too much weight.

Los Angeles Trade-Technical College Accreditation Website
Los Angeles Trade-Technical College (LATTC) is fully accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Council of Higher Education Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education.

More questions?
Why is accreditation important?
Accreditation assures that college course credits, associate degrees, and occupational certificates will be recognized by other colleges and universities, guaranteeing that academic work may be transferred in pursuit of advanced degrees. Accreditation also assures the business community that the academic work a student completes best prepares her/him for employment in the workplace. In addition, our accredited status allows us to offer federal financial aid assistance to eligible students who apply.
Who is involved in the accreditation process?
Faculty, classified staff, administrators, and students participate in the process of evaluating our performance to determine if the College meets established Accreditation Standards and its own stated goals.
LATTC submitted a Self-Study Report in March 2009. In June 2009, the ACCJC reviewed the Self-Study Report and the report of its evaluation team which visited LATTC in March 2009. The ACCJC made six college recommendations and three District recommendations. LATTC submitted a Follow-Up Report in March 2010, which addressed three of the college recommendations and all three District recommendations. In June 2010 the ACCJC reviewed the 2010 Follow-Up Report and the report of its evaluation team which visited LATTC in April 2010. It noted the considerable good work done by LATTC to address recommendations and requested that the College provide information on the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) for retiree health benefits. LATTC submitted a Follow-Up Report to the ACCJC in March 2011 addressing four of the 2009 ACCJC college recommendations. In June 2011, the ACCJC reviewed the 2011 Follow-Up Report and the report of its evaluation team which visited LATTC in March 2011 and took action to reaffirm LATTC's accreditation. In November 2011, the ACCJC sent LATTC a Certificate of Accreditation. LATTC submitted a Midterm-Report in March 2012, which addressed the six college recommendations and the three District recommendations made by the ACCJC's evaluation team in March 2009, and the ACCJC's 2010 request for information on the ARC. In June 2012, the ACCJC reviewed the 2012 Midterm-Report. It noted that LATTC responded to the six college recommendations and three District recommendations from the 2009 comprehensive review, reviewed progress on self-identified plans for improvement, and addressed the 2010 request for information regarding ARC for retiree benefits.
LATTC will submit its next comprehensive Self-Evaluation Report for reaffirmation of accreditation in March 2016.
An external evaluating team will visit the campus in Spring 2016, read our report, look at our evidence, interview some of us, and write up their findings, with commendations for exemplary practices and recommendations for areas needing improvement. The ACCJC then determines our status and makes its decision public.
We've got to do it…Although considered "voluntary," without accredited status, educational institutions cannot receive federal funding for their students and courses cannot be used for transfer to other institutions. The "stamp of approval" from the ACCJC assures the public of our integrity, quality, and effectiveness.
We should want to do it…Besides the obvious advantages of being accredited, a school can benefit from evaluating the way it functions. We don't often take time from our daily routine to ask, "How are we doing? How could we do better?"
What's involved? First, we need to conduct a thorough self study, involving faculty, administrators, staff, and students. We will judge our performance, using the ACCJC's standards and our own goals. Based on our discussions and research, we will write a comprehensive report and gather evidence to back up our conclusions.
You can find our more information about accreditation at the ACCJC website, www.accjc.org and at the Department of Education website.
