If you call Cardo and ask for a technical rep, you should be able to talk to someone who knows about the G4. It's not vaporware and is in fact being sold in the UK and parts of Europe under a different name. Cardo is simply rebadging these devices as they don't actually produce anything.

Fantastic write-up! I've owned the Q2s for awhile but just recently started trying to use the MP3 player functionality.
My volume has been extremely low thus far, even when the MP3 player (I've tried three) are all at maximum volume. I even bought an in-line powered amplifier for my headphones, but it's still too low.
Have you tried the stock speakers vs your earbuds with your MP3 player? If so, did you notice a difference in appreciable volume, or just sound quality? Also, what was your top speed while listening to your Q2 and still hearing the music?
I hit about 40MPH before being unable to discern what is playing. I do wear earplugs to block out wind noise when I am not listening to music. Do you?
Thanks again for the write-up!

The multi-set Q2's for the misses and I came in and we got them fitted to our helmets and gave them a try today! I have to say I'm very impressed with the sound quality talking over them. Its basically just like talking on the phone. I never once had trouble understanding what she was saying and you don't realize how nice the full duplex is till you use it. Right now, I think I'm just going to stick with the speakers until our upcoming trip in 2 weeks is over.
We both used a bit of foam to get the speakers closer to our ears and I also had a few sets of these "ear piece" type covers that come stock on Netcom headsets we use at work. They are a nice soft type vinyl material and open in the middle as to not impede the sound. They are a tad big, but fit over the speakers pretty good and help give you that "tunnel" type connection you are looking for to keep the sound nice and clear to your ears. Also the vinyl material is much softer to your ear then the hard plastic. I still will much prefer using my ER-6i's on a trip, but these should work for now. I'm thinking I'll order a 2nd base off ebay and give this mod a try.
I also was able to pair it up with my cell phone and called my parents and talked to them on the phone. They said they couldn't tell I was even on a bike. We never did get on the interstate, but we were running speeds up to 60mph and I was on a Ninja 250 with hardly any wind protection. The wind hits me right in the chest.
Sarah doesn't have a chin spoiler on her helmet and when she was riding with her visor up, I could hear the wind noise pretty good, so she had to keep that down, but when she lowers it, it becomes very quiet in the background.
We also hooked up our Ipod's and I have to say I was pleasantly pleased with the sound. With the way we set up our speakers, I could hear the music just fine at about half volume with no ear plugs in. It also did sound like the Ipod input is pumped in in stereo? I know the BT part is mono, but one song in particular, I noticed a very strong indication that the left & right channels were pumping over different levels of tunes which would indicate stereo sound.
Getting a conversation started does take a pretty good sound which is good and bad. I was glad to see that it really takes a substantial effort to turn it on so that just hard breathing or light sounds coming from me doesn't keep activating it when I really don't want to start a conversation. I can also sing at a low level without Sarah being able to hear me! The bad part is it can take a word or two before you can hear it initiate with the other person. There is a bit of a 1-2 second delay getting a conversation started, so its not quite as quick as say the communication devices that talk over radio frequencies. But, once you are connected, talking is very natural unlike the other radio's I've used. Its also very easy to just push the MC button and start a conversation or also kill it so you can go back to your music without waiting for the 30 second timeout. We did notice (especially when we were stopped and its more quiet) that the device doesn't always recognize that Sarah is talking and cut off on her. I think we need to work on getting the mic a bit closer to her mouth, but I don't think it will be an ongoing issue. Just something she'll need to learn to work with.
Overall, we are very happy with our purchase! These are well worth the money we spent and compared to a lot of BT devices, they are priced a bit cheaper.
The true test will be on our upcoming trip and to see if we can make it through a solid day of riding talking and listening to our music.

Expanding the Q2 to use with FRS/GMRS and bluetooth dongle

Seriously, if you read it from the beginning, you may get some insights into battery life, and sound quality issues as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions to seal the MP3 ports? I probably won't use mine that much and am afraid of water getting in the open socket.
I could just get a spare phono jack and seal the opening with silicone.

This past Saturday I was at an MSF class and one of the riders there was showing me his Q2 and my first thought if I bought one was to do the same and get rid of those helmet speakers.

A note from the Hamfisted
measure thrice and cut once
As guessed I fluffed it
Picked up a q2 last year more to use with the zumo and the phone and it worked pretty well .So this year changed bikes (another story) and picked up the new Q2 multiset for me and the wife .I also picked up a spare headset for my existing unit to get the mp3 input (from my zumo) so tonight was the night for the mod since SWMBO is away for the next few days, so no interuptions.
Ok in short, I cut too close (a great groan was heard) to the mike unit and found out that those varnished wires are a real bear.Next headset please..
I was curious about the wiring schematic since there were 3 wires in each wire going to the earpeice so I figured a bit of destructive investigation was necessary .
NOTE ,Warning, etc etc. Even the though the mike connector casing has 2 screws the mike boom is glued on to the casing.Removing the screws will not allow you to open the case without destroying part of the case.
The circuit board has 3 wires on each channel
Label Color
An R Green stripe
R Blue
R + Red stripe
An L Copper plain
An Green
L+ Red
At the speaker end (I only disassembled one side)
Green terminal Red strip
Plain terminal Blue
The green stripe wire I pulled out from the insulation and it is simply cut off about 2 inches short, the reinforcing thread was cause me some grief is about 2 inches longer
Which brings up the question what does An designation stand for?
Probably ANtenna would be my guess the same as what my walkman says
"to use the fm function a built in antenna is found with your headset"
As for the mp3 connector , I need a much bigger magnifying glass to follow the circuit traces but they do appear to go into a surface mounted resistor/ transistor/capacitor network coming from the main unit connector,but that is a bit too much detail for the purpose .When I did try the input before I beleive that I really did not force it in as far it should go. Looking at the plug and socket to get a proper connection that plug should be flush to the casing though don't force it,the inside of the connector does not seem to have much play either way.
Photos to follow when SWMBO comes back with her camera , I think it has a better micro function than mine.
As for me, off to the pharmacy tommorow to pick up a few precsion items, and maybe a quick trip to the industrial electronics shop to see if they have some reasonable varnish remover, but either way I think that I will cut about an inch from the speaker on the shortest line.
That way I still get another try or two should I prove to be equally inept.

so... how do you deal with all the wires?
couple quick questions:
a. the headphone wire coming from the ipod, do you have to have slack in that one for turning your head / taking the helmet on / off, or do you use a coiled-style wire?
b. for the headphones... they Etymotic's have a above average long set of wires, what do you do with all the slack, as well as process putting the helmet on / off without tangling things?
i'm sure i could figure something out... (currently i wrap my headphone wires around the iPod / iPhone 2-3 times to take up some of the slack, before putting the device into a inner pocket of my jacket) but i was curious to hear what you do? towards the same topic... what does LDF do? does she use the same headphones / methods?

On our trips, we don't listen to the iPods unless we're riding, and we don't ride without our helmets, so it's not an inconvenience. If I had to set it up and de-rig it twice a day for a commute, I might have to figure something else out. Prolly just buy another set of buds.

Not wanting to start another thread...
Just got a Q2 teamset for me and passenger/wife. rode today and everthing worked well and we liked them. We talk more when we're riding than we do at home...
Well anyway, the only problem was: They stayed on the whole time. We ride a XChallange dual sport with full Remus exhaust, so its kinda loud. I wear a Shoei Hornet DS and she has a Shoei open face with flip down shield. When its hot, she leaves the shield up. That's the problem area. Even if I turn it off at the button, after a few moments, her set will key up and stay up.
With our last com set, StarCom, there were 3 senseitivity level settings, anything with the Scala??
This did'nt really bother us too much, but I'm concerned about battery life on a long, all day ride.
What say yall experienced Scala dudes??
Live long, love much, laugh often, and

My wife and I just got back from 2 weeks out west on our bikes and we of course had our Scala's. Before our trip, we had both taken out our chin spoilers off our helmets for the summer due to the GA heat and allowing more airflow through the helmets. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a mistake while riding out West. My wife loves to ride with her shield up and although I can hear a tad bit more wind noise, around home like this, it turned out that in really windy conditions out West, that with her shield up and no chin spoiler, and her windshield putting the air right at her face, she was pretty much unaudible, unless she put her shield down. This also was causing the scala's to want to turn on all the time. We tried turning the VOX off, but it seems that still didn't always work? I want to call Cardo and talk to them about this, because it did get a bit annoying. I was under the impression that turning the VOX off should leave it off until you power your unit off, but this doesn't appear to be the case.
We still enjoy them, but we had to work around this minor issue. I figure we might also try the other windsock (the oval one) that I think is meant for open face helmets. That might help quiet down my wife's back ground noise since she loves to ride with her face shield up.

August 1990: How Stevie Ray Vaughan Died
August 1990: How Stevie Ray Vaughan Died
Stevie Ray Vaughan Memorial Statue in Austin, Texas
Stevie Ray Vaughan was 35 years old when he died in a helicopter crash outside East Troy, Wisconsin on August 27, 1990. The previous day, Vaughan had relayed to his bandmates a disturbing dream he had where he witnessed his own funeral. That evening, the guitarist, with his band Double Trouble, joined as special guests for a concert at the Alpine Valley Musical Theater, along with Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, and Vaughan's brother, Jimmie. After the show, four helicopters, owned and operated by Omniflight Helicopters Inc., were reserved to fly the artists and their crews back to Chicago. One helicopter was reserved for Stevie, Jimmie, and his wife Connie. Members of Clapton's crew, however, had already taken seats on the helicopter when the Vaughan's arrived to board. Eager to return to Chicago, Stevie asked Jimmie and Connie for the last seat.
With dense fog settling in, the helicopters began departing at one a.m. Jeff Brown, the pilot of Vaughan's helicopter, banked sharply to the left about a half-mile after take off. The helicopter collided into a ski slope; everyone on board was killed instantly. Reports of the accident did not begin surfacing until the morning when the helicopter failed to reach its destination of Meigs Field in Chicago. Double Trouble members Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton began concluding the worst when Vaughan's hotel room in Chicago was found empty. Shortly after seven a.m. Jimmie Vaughan was called to identify his brother's body.
By the afternoon radio and television broadcasts confirmed Vaughan had perished aboard the ill-fated helicopter. Fans sought refuge at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas, to mourn the city's favorite son. Many expressed the tragic senselessness of Vaughan's accidental death in light of his recovery from a public battle with drugs and alcohol a few years prior.
Stevie Ray Vaughan was buried at Laurel Land Memorial Park in Dallas, Texas. Over 1,500 people, including Jimmie Vaughan and fellow musicians Stevie Wonder, Bonnie Raitt, Dr. John, Buddy Guy and Jackson Browne, among others, attended the funeral. A Stevie Ray Vaughan Memorial Statue was dedicated at Auditorium Shores on Lady Bird Lake, where Vaughan played a number of shows throughout his career.
The cause of the helicopter accident was attributed to pilot negligence. Jeff Brown, a veteran airplane pilot had little experience operating a helicopter in inclement weather. In 1995 Jimmie and mother Martha Vaughan sued Omniflight for negligence. The family was awarded an undisclosed sum.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for confronting Oklahoma City's Kendrick Perkins following both their ejections in a game last week. The fine was announced Monday by Stu Jackson, the league's executive vice president of basketball operations. Randolph and Perkins were each ejected for an altercation with 2:05 remaining in the fourth quarter of Memphis' 107-97 win in Oklahoma City last Wednesday night. Perkins and Randolph confronted each other between Russell Westbrook's free throw attempts and were both tossed. The two tried to approach each other while being restrained by teammates before finally heading out tunnels at opposite ends of Chesapeake Energy Arena. Randolph then talked to Perkins near the locker room, drawing the fine. Randolph plans to hand out food baskets to 500 families in Memphis on Tuesday.

Security for Services and Mashups
Security has become a rising concern in most applications and systems today. Whether you are building small mashups, enterprise applications, or a platform for SOA, there are several issues and approaches that are being discussed. Erica Naone talked about dealing with security in the world of mashups recently while Bob Rhubart and David Garrison from BEA discussed securing the services you deploy. Naone talked with experts in the industry from the OpenAjax Alliance, Microsoft Research, information security firm Mandiant, and mashup maker JackBe in assessing the current state and future concerns of mashup security. In general, the browser security model is not up to the task of providing a model for security mashups.
Web browsers weren't designed with mashups in mind, and 'the warts have been there from day one', [David Boloker, cofounder of the OpenAjax Alliance and IBM's CTO of Emerging Internet Technologies] says. Browsers contain a security feature called the same-origin policy that's meant to keep malicious code hosted on one site from grabbing data, such as stored credentials, off another site. The same-origin policy prevents websites from one domain from requesting data belonging to another domain.Helen Wang from the systems and networking group at Microsoft Research goes further into the failing of the same-origin policy:
[T]he same-origin policy fails by forcing 'Web applications today to either sacrifice security or functionality.' She says that a lot of great functionality, such as that of mashups, comes from using tools from multiple sources. The problem is that when the website creator embeds code written by a third party on her site, the same-origin policy no longer offers any protection, and the embedded code likely has access to information stored on the creator's site.Some of the solutions proposed include relaxing the same-origin policy in the browser coupled with adding additional controls. Wang suggest that the controls work within the browser in the form of "sandboxing" the external code to prevent it from having too much access. Others recommend external, third-party tools to secure communications and applications without changing the browser. One such example is SMash, a "secure mashups" application recently announced by IBM:
SMash addresses a key part of the browser mashup security issue by keeping code and data from each of the sources separated, while allowing controlled sharing of the data through a secure communication channel.Most of the industry seemed to indicate that mashup security is still not a solved problem and will be a rising concern as Web 2.0 applications become more ubiquitous. Not all applications are mashups, though and BEA has focused on developers who are creating services that will be deployed in their organizations. Bob Rhubart talked about security as part of the overall SOA initiatives in a company. He said that security is a fundamental piece to the overall governance of any SOA:
To describe security as an important part of SOA Governance is bit like describing water as an important part of the lives of fish, which is to say, it's an obvious point. Like everything else in SOA governance, security is a multifaceted issue. But SOA security boils down to knowing the answer to one simple question: Who is using your stuff? Each service deployed within your SOA represents a significant investment, and significant potential ROI. One of the fundamental goals of SOA governance, of course, is to insure that the use of each service generates the expected return. Key to realizing that return is controlling who has access to those services, and controlling how those who have access actually use those services.Rhubart pointed out David Garrison and BEA's Security Services framework as an example of how to get it done. Garrison pointed out that BEA uses a Security Services framework model within their products and then discussed the fundamentals of designing such a framework using the AquaLogic Enterprise Security (ALES) products. Garrison identified that there are 5 major services/providers in a security services framework and described the responsibilities of each. The 5 items are:
- Authentication
- Role Mapping
- Authorization
- Credential Mapping
- Audit

For a young, newlywed couple, an exciting and often unknown future is in store. Newlyweds Tommy and Sasha Newman, Valley City, have already made memories as a married couple that will last them a lifetime.
With ValentineŌĆÖs Day today, romance is in the air, but Sasha said Tommy was romantic from the start.

Margaret Boyer was a bit less comic as she looked at her husband with a twinkle, ŌĆ£I just love being with him.ŌĆØ
Willard has been married to his sweetheart Margaret since soon after he returned from World War II where he was on a PT boat. Margaret had just finished nursing school and was working in Elgin, N.D., as a registered nurse.
For Vicky and Terry Jones the secret of staying together for 28 years and happily married for 22 years is being able to understand each other.
Said Terry, ŌĆ£To love and laugh. YouŌĆÖve just got to work it out. Everything is not easy.ŌĆØ
Said Vicky, ŌĆ£I feel it (the marriage) gets better every year.ŌĆØ
Terry added, ŌĆ£It feels like youŌĆÖre the right hand and the left hand. Each knows what the other is doing.ŌĆØ
The couple owns VickyŌĆÖs Viking Room, and Vicky is definitely the boss of the business.

Over the last two years, Valley City High School boys basketball coach Scott Hurlimann has watched his team play numerous games where they were close, but couldn't quite put the finishing touches on an Eastern Dakota Conference win.
But Tuesday at the Hi-Liner Activity Center, the team made the hump look more like a speed bump, beating Devils Lake 74-58 in a two-point EDC game. It was the team's first conference win since the 2010-2011 season.
The way Valley City High School girls basketball coach Jim McDaniel looked at it, his team had two issues in Tuesday night's 67-46 loss to No. 2 West Fargo.
"Two tough runs," he said, referring to both an 18-0 first half run and a 16-2 run early in the second half. "Against good teams, we can't allow them to have runs like that."
Both runs had a few commonalities. One, they broke open the score to keep Valley City from getting too close. Two, they both started when West Fargo went into a full-court press.
Valley City State University is offering special entertainment this week that should mesh in perfectly with the traditional romantic holiday ŌĆō ValentineŌĆÖs Day.
Both the VCSU Theater and The Cafe on the campus are working together to provide something special for couples, and could work perfectly for people staying close to home due to snowy and windy weather during the week, said director Jenni Lou Russi.

Here are some really fresh designs to go with the name of our site: these colorful ideas come from Duebi Italia, an Italian company who built its prestige on modern and original bathroom furniture sets. Green and orange items are our pick for the day. These two bathrooms have the ability to really catch one's eye, mainly due to the unusual colors picked out- I bet green and orange are not your first choices when it comes to choosing how your walls will look- and also because of their glossy finish. Here is where you can come in contact with Duebi Italia for any questions or for guidance on ordering any of the products below.

I'm loving the wonderfully bright colors!!
The bright colors used in these bathrooms are definitely intriguing. In the right space, they would look absolutely phenomenal!
Hello… the orange furniture set is from italian company "Regia" and not from Duebi Italia.

U.S. military assists France in African missions --The Pentagon would not offer details on the nature of support to French troops in Mali or Somalia. 14 Jan 2013 U.S. military warplanes assisted French forces battling 'Islamic extremists' in two African countries over the weekend, according to the Pentagon, highlighting the growing threat of 'al Qaeda'-linked terrorists in the region. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta offered few details on the nature of support to French troops in Mali or Somalia.

Mama & Papa is Enjoying Themselves Some LG (3D) TV
By Norman77
from Conyers, GA, USA
Comments about LG 50" Black Plasma 3D Smart HDTV:
As of yesterday ( May 08, 2013 ) my wife and I celebrated our 1st. month of owning this outstanding TV. We enjoy all the features this model has to offer. In the past we all ways overlooked LG brand in everything we bought. Today we are here to tell you how wrong we was. The innovations in this model are wonderful. The 3D takes you to another dimension, where if you buy this TV brand you can go also. The style and ease of use is second. to none. We have contacted technical support by live internet chat with overwhelming results. We love everything about this LG company our investment was well worth the money. We are really looking forward to our 2nd. month anniversary of owning this TV. So if you're thinking about it LG is definitely The-Way-To- Go!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love all that we're able to do with this
By Enjoying1
from Michigan, USA
We were hesitant to get a plasma at first and even more so one with 3D on it...But..for the cost of others we looked at we decided to get this....and we're loving the quality as well as value of our purchase!
Great product great picture great price
By Wheels
from Kalamazoo, MI, USA
This TV has a great picture quality at a great value. It far outperforms our 42" LCD TV it replaced. It was very easy to install and incorporate into our home network and is very easy to use when steaming content from the web. Only shortcoming I have found is lack of some streaming content (Amazon Prime) that is incorporated in our LG Blu Ray player.
Great performance and value, loaded with features
By largescreennewbies
from S.E. Michigan, USA
When my wife and I decided to finally let go of our old tube TV set, we began basic research into large screen digital TV's. It became clear after a few internet inquiries that LG was among the top performers and offered the highest quality. A few more searches revealed that the features offered by LG pulled it ahead of the others. Viewing LG sets along with its competitors at electronic stores locally we saw that the LG set had the same picture quality of much higher priced models. When we spoke to the stores digital sales manager about the 50PM6700 he confessed that he too, was purchasing one as a present to himself! That fact and the great sales price had us stop our search right there(we weren't planning a purchase untill after the Holidays) and we took one home with us. We are very happy with this purchase, it has truly surpassed our expectations. This set takes its place alongside the several other LG products that we own and are completely satisfied with. Thanks LG!

Excellent value for your money
By JD
from Buffalo, NY
Excellent set of features for the money including built in Wi-fi, and 3D. 2 pair of glasses included with purchase.. Picture quality is one of the best out there. Plenty of connections on the back of the tv for all of your gear. Only cons I have are that I wish LG would include a full product manual instead of the on screen version. A better organized and user friendly setup manual would be helpful since there are so many settings to adjust and connections to be made. As usual, glare is a problem, but that is to be expected with plasma tvs. Only wish they could eliminate that. Overall, one of the best values out there.
Excellent picture

This is my first plasma and for the money it's the best bang for your buck. Compared to the other brands you get the most features, best picture, and best price. Blows LCD away.
By Jerry
from Fort Bragg, CA
I wasn't looking for a 3D set but this one came up and the price looked right so I bought it. The 3D is just a show-stopper; it is so excellent that everyone is enthralled. And the 2D or 3D images are so lifelike that they really catch your attention and keep it. My only issue is with the Wi-Fi, which connected really easily and works just fine it is just that using the remote to hunt-and-peck web addresses, etc. is awkward. It works and all that good stuff, and it is a small issue over all.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
'Time immemorial' is a long time to claim reservation homeland
Apr 10, 2014 - Walter Gray-Dennis, Riverton
The land of the Wind River Indian Reservation has been the "Shoshone homeland" since time immemorial? The tribal leader who said that in The Ranger front-page either doesn't know what he is talking about or is deliberately trying to mislead people who don't know any better. This is all a blatant attempt to gain control of Riverton, which was removed legally from the reservation more than a hundred years ago. It is as plain as day.
As for "time immemorial," that covers a long time. Claiming that the land always was the Shoshones' is simply not true. They can't just make this stuff up and expect everyone to just say "OK" and hand over the keys to the city.

Statement of Significance (as of designation - July 17, 1991):
Completed in 1893 and built entirely at the expense of a wealthy businessman, this building was intended to provide charitable groups with a central building and lower rent than they would have elsewhere. The original tenants were the Charities Organizations Society, the Association for the Improvement of the Condition of the Poor, the Children's Aid Society, and the New York City Mission and Tract Society; a later and perhaps most important tenant was the National Consumer's League, an influential reform organization which fought for legislation regulating child labor, women's labor, and wages and hours in general.

Students gather at Oscar Smith High School every Tuesday at the end of the day. The church van picks the students up from school after they have had a snack and takes them to the local YMCA. The students are given the opportunity to participate in all of the available Y activities. After about an hour and a half of free time facilitated and supervised by adult mentors, the students walk over to the church for a well-balanced and hot meal.
The students' families join the students for dinner along with church members and guests. Every student is paired with a mentor who also joins the students for dinner and fellowship. Child care is provided for the mentors, volunteers, and families that have younger children. At the end of the meal EVERYONE participates in character building games and activities that focus on respecting diversity, team work, communication, and help to build a strong sense of community amongst all the participants. Following activity time the students are given an hour to work with their individual mentors on school work.
While the students work with their mentors, parent workshops are available to help support the entire family. We present ideas on financial planning, academic planning for their students, GED training, and provide support for parents who do not speak English as their first language. The ultimate goal is to create an emotionally safe, intentional community based on authentic, genuine relationships that emphasizes trust, love, and encouragement made up of people from all walks of life regardless of their church membership.

Ooshma Garg is applying the "Ikea effect" to food delivery, sending customers of Gobble the ingredients and recipes they need to whip up 10-minute meals.
The UpTake: Gobble, a Y Combinator company, doesn't deliver home-cooked meals any more. Instead it started delivering prepared ingredients and instructions for customers to cook their own meals.
O oshma Garg has cooked up a new business model for Gobble, the meal delivery business she founded and took through Y Combinator last winter.
The Palo Alto business delivered meals created by home cooks when it was featured in April in The Pitch, the weekly profile of Silicon Valley startups I write for the Silicon Valley Business Journal.
As of two weeks ago, Gobble stopped delivering prepared dinners and instead started sending its customers all of the fresh, restaurant-quality ingredients they need to whip up for dinner themselves in about 10 minutes.
For more news from the Silicon Valley Business Journal, check out Cromwell Schubarth's work.
"We are applying the 'Ikea effect' to the meal-delivery business," Garg told me, referring to the theory that consumers value a product more highly if they have a part in creating it themselves — like building your own table from parts bought at Ikea.
Garg has kept the world cuisine approach to the menu she offers, with choices such as Korean short ribs, Indian butter chicken, and Thai tofu green curry. The offerings also mix in American regional favorites including fried green tomatoes and heirloom grits.
"The difference is that we are the sous chef who measures and prepares all the ingredients and you just cook and eat it," she told me.
That's likely to appeal to a different set of customers than Gobble initially did. But it positions the company in a less crowded niche in the growing army of home food-delivery options.
"We have kept some of our existing customers," Garg said. "Definitely not the majority but more than I expected."
Gobble has also greatly expanded its territory, now offering DIY meals anywhere in California or Nevada.

New lasing technique inspired by brightly colored birdsMay 9th, 2011 by Bob Yirka in Physics / Optics & Photonics

(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at Yale University have succeeded in building a new kind of laser based on the way brightly colored birds show their colors. Building on the new approach to creating laser beams, whereby holes are drilled in a material in such a way as to trap light inside for a long enough period of time to create the laser light they are after, researchers Hui Cao, Heeso Noh and their colleagues describe in a paper they've published in Physical Review Letters, how they've emulated the way birds use air holes to display their colors.
In traditional lasers, light is bounced back and forth (trapped) between mirrors with a so-called gain material between them that amplifies the light until it is of sufficient strength to pass through one end of the semi-transparent mirror, producing the beam. More recently however, optics researchers have found that another way to hold on to the light is to drill air holes in a material that causes the light to become trapped as it moves between the holes.
The air holes in the material can be placed either in a clear ordered fashion, producing just one strong wavelength, or in random fashion which allows for multiple wavelengths but isnt very efficient; something that grows in importance as the laser power desired grows and uses more energy when it is produced.
The new technique falls somewhere in-between, in that at first glance the air holes appear to be random, but upon closer inspection, turn out to be ordered after all. This is where the brightly colored birds come in; nature has given them feathers with air pockets that at first glance appear to be randomly spaced, but under closer scrutiny its revealed that there is in fact, order underneath; the result is some light is trapped and bounced around inside and between them, allowing the amount of light to build up before ultimately escaping and giving the birds their brilliant hues.
To recreate the effect in the lab, the research team drilled holes in a 190 nanometer slice of gallium arsenide, a particularly good plastic for lasers, 235 to 275 nanometers apart, and which also had a layer of quantum dots that shine brilliantly when struck with just one photon. As suspected, when the wafer was lit up, it produced a laser of about 1,000 nanometers, which made it far more efficient than random lasers; after more tests were made it was found that the wavelength produced could be changed by altering the amount of space between the holes.
Though its not yet clear how the new type of laser will be used, it does seem likely the new approach will be used to help bring down the costs of lasers, and perhaps more importantly, the amount of energy needed to rum them.
More information: -- Control of Lasing in Biomimetic Structures with Short-Range Order, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 183901 (2011) DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.106.183901
We demonstrate lasing in photonic amorphous structures that mimic the isotropic nanostructures which produce noniridescent color in nature. Our experimental and numerical studies reveal that lasing becomes most efficient at certain frequencies, due to enhanced optical confinement by short-range order. The optimal lasing frequency can be tuned by adjusting the structure factor. This work shows that lasing in nanostructures may be effectively improved and manipulated by short-range order.

After being out of the national side for a year-and-a-half, Gautam Gambhir earned a recall for the five-Test tour of England. Sandeep Dwivedi meets the opener and pieces together the story of his comeback
While talking to the Kolkata Knight Riders squad during the home leg of IPL 7, former Aussie Test opener, now a busy batting problem-solver, Justin Langer, threw up a brain-teaser. Are you guys watching the ball while batting? Specifics about smirks and stifled laughs that this seemingly ludicrous question received haven't yet been leaked from the KKR dressing room but it now emerges that Langer, through his query, could have given KKR's then out-of-form skipper, Gautam Gambhir, a career-changing advice.
For the uninitiated, or even the inexperienced, Langer's inqury might seem as lame as asking the living if they breathe. But for Gautam, the articulate Aussie had hit the nail on the head. One opener had helped another to zero in on his 'zero' problem — KKR skipper had started the season with 3 ducks.
Over the years, 'the thinking' batsmen, while dealing with run slumps, have overburdened their minds with long technical check lists and complex theories. In the bargain, their over-analytical minds have missed the woods for the trees. They would tend to merely 'look' at the ball, and not, as Langer said, 'watch' it. Gambhir, a self-confessed intense cricketer, speaks about how Langer's words made him audit his thoughts and re-focus on the ball — the change that brought with it 3 half-centuries, a second IPL title, a Test recall and a template to follow for the England tour.
"When you are short on confidence and runs, rather than looking at the ball you wonder where you will get your first run. You start thinking about the gaps, what if the ball swings away, what if it comes in, what the bowler is going to do. There are so many things happening in your mind that even if you want to focus on the ball the mind will not allow you to," says Gambhir, recalling his days of struggle while settled comfortably between puffy cushions in his living room.
It's been about a fortnight since his second bus-top felicitation in Kolkata. The anticipation of the upcoming England tour and Test comeback has made the short break at home sweeter. Not far from where the new-father sits is a pink pram and scattered toys. This is a happy phase in Gambhir's life, it's that time when cricketers don't mind talking about their days of doubts and even indulge in brutal self-assessment. They even open up to kicking an old habit.

Asking some obvious questions here:
If you are making a single boot disk installation system, I assume you
have a root.bin file image saved on the same boot floppy as the image and
a copy of the kernel and a way to load the kernel on that floppy. Yes?
You should probably use a minix filesystem for your root.bin image and it
can be hady to use the loopback interface to modify the image. You did
Last, the readmes often say to write the root.bin image directly to the
floppy device (/dev/fd0). Obviously, if this was done, it would over-write
the boot sector and first parts of the booting floppy\ and render it
useless. For this reason the root.bin should be save on the floppy disk as
a file, and you should copmpress it with something like gzip before
storing it on the floppy.
My recollection of making custom boot floppies for different distros is a
bit hazy. If you could refer to the document you are using, I might be
able to offer some more suggestions on things to check.
I seemed to recall you made the minix filesystem as an image and stored
all you wnated in the root fs on that image. Then you compress the image
with gzip (dont know if they ever included bzip2 supprt). If gzip is used,
try gzip --best filename. Then you rename the file to root.zip and copy to
the same floppy as the kernel disk *but* as a file, not written directly
to the device. Then a command line boot arguement handed to the loading
linux kernel may include root=root.bin (if LOADLIN.EXE is used, for
example.) This should cause the preload of the root.bin file with the
kernel and avoid it asking you to insert the root.bin floppy.
Now-a-days, it is becoming increasingly difficult to make universal boot
floppies with linux and all of the modules needed, and a root filesystem
all on one floppy. It is however, still posible to compile your own kernel
with only the minimal options needed by you, no modules, and still manage
to et a minimal root filesystem in image format all on one floppy. :-)
Ages ago I made custome debian boot floppes for 2.0 and 2.2 kernels to get
network installation with pcmcia cards not supported under the std distro
boot floppies, but supported with the latest pcmcia-cs. Now-a-days, making
a custom bootable boot CD is the better solution. :-)
One of these days, I might make a dual boot linx/dos CD-ROM if I feel
tremendiously insane.
Anyway, more info on your issues would be helpful...

I don't like electrically-powered cars as a rule. It seems to me that a hybrid car is a fine example of fudged engineering that also sits uneasily with my credentials as a bona fide car enthusiast. The use of a petrol engine as a power source in conjunction with an electric motor is a cop-out and an excuse not to do things properly. I understand that battery range, capacity and size are all problems but while manufacturers are willing to fit petrol engines as well there is no incentive for them to conquer these obstacles.
Full electric cars, by contrast, are interesting but ultimately hypocritical. Electricity is a method transmitting power rather than producing it and it has only two advantages over other fuels when used as a method of vehicle propulsion (if we ignore the coarse and questionable political considerations), one of which is to remove atmospheric pollution from the point of use. We'll consider the second advantage later.
At Motoring Journo we are objective so it is with an open mind that I approach Nissan's LEAF. A small car, powered by a 107bhp motor, it has been voted the 2011 World Car of the Year, beating the BMW 5-Series and the Audi A8 for the top spot.
First impressions are positive. The dashboard is neat and clear. The seats are unremarkable which, for a family car, is a good thing being supportive and comfortable. Boot space is OK for a week's shopping although the family dog might not be too comfortable if he's bigger than a spaniel.
Equipment levels are good. It comes with power steering, climate control, Sat-Nav and even a reversing CCTV camera, which is far more useful than it sounds and gives real piece of mind to those of us with small children who have a habit of not being very car aware. All very conventional inside then – so far.
It's the dash that excites me especially the central information panel. Car development has, until now, been pretty linear with only incremental improvements; show Henry Ford a modern car and he'd recognise the engine, seating position, brakes gearbox. Nothing new has been done to resonate with the iPhone generation.
Until now.
The LEAF has a number of party tricks up its sleeve, all of which will become commonplace eventually but are refreshingly novel for now. For example, you can programme it so that the car starts to charge its batteries at any time of the day or night, helping to make the most of off-peak, cheap electricity. Or you can set the heater to come on so that the car is nice and warm before you even set foot into it. The latter feature is all very well if you use your car at predictable times but what about the times when you vary your routine and forget to change the time on the car's computer? Are you resigned to getting into a cold car? Nope. You can use your iPhone app to set the time for either function remotely. The app, called 'CARWINGS', also shows your estimated driving range, the time that it will take to charge your car's batteries (lithium-ion and tucked away under the floor, so you'll never know that they're there most of the time) fully and can control the in-car climate control.
It's a revelation and trendy young things will flock to it because Nissan have gone to the trouble of thinking about how they can make their customers' lives more simple – and interesting. I can imagine that eventually you'll be able to upload your energy consumption and compare it with that of your friends; or have competitions to see who got the furthest real-life range (claimed to be around 110 miles, which should be plenty for most commuters). Apps like this, as Nissan obviously realise, make a huge difference to the way that customers perceive their cars.
So, it's clever, fuel-efficient, innovative, spacious and safe. What's it like to drive though? Is it a duffer, albeit an innovative one?
No. It does feel a bit ponderous at times when you change direction quickly and the heavy, albeit very low, centre of gravity engenders an odd pendulum effect but this was on a twisty handling circuit and I was showing off, trying to catch it out. When I drove it normally, even in a spirited fashion, it was good. Very good – fun even. It is also, of course, utterly silent and that adds an air of sophistication that small cars just don't have very often.
The delivery of 206 lb/ft of torque (yes, 206!), all of which is available instantly and throughout the whole rev range, makes it enormously nippy. This is the second advantage of using an electric motor to propel a vehicle; instantaneous and copious torque delivered in a linear fashion. Car enthusiasts should welcome the wider use of electricity for this reason alone, even if it doing so does mean that we have to forgo the wonderful noise that (too few) engines make.
Should you be an early adopter and buy one? Well, it's a safe car gaining 5 stars in the latest Euro NCAP ratings and Nissan will also give you a three-year, 60,000-mile warranty to help set your mind at rest over the reliability.
The main drawbacks are the availability of charging points and the purchase price. The number of places that you can charge the car will increase, without doubt, and plenty of people will be able to do it for free initially; and anyway, with a range of 110 miles most commuters will be able to use it to get to work – with maybe a spot of shopping at lunchtime – and back home again in one charge before using off-peak electricity to get it ready again for the morning.
The price is a bigger problem as this level of technology doesn't come cheap. The list price is £30,900 and that's a lot of money for what is, after all, a small car. OK, it is a genuinely fun car to drive but you would have to be enormously committed to the environment to buy one at that price, even after the UK government have chipped in a £5,000 allowance.
My advice? Hold on for now, prices will tumble. Once they've reached your own personally acceptable threshold then buy, without hesitation. It's a great car and a huge amount of care and intelligence has been used in its design. It's just too expensive at the moment.
Like: Innovative design, instant torque, civility
Dislike: Price
Summary: Interesting but expensive

console gaming forum or sub-forum?
Console gaming is getting bigger so why not give it its own section? I think it would be a great idea to let consoles have there own section being that three new systems are on the horizon and will garner much attention. Its beyond me but some just cant seem to appreciate and accept two forms of gaming and thus every thread dealing with a console game is constantly interrupted by someone who has to get into which is better or more powerful. I have been gaming for near two decades and appreciate and love both but thats just damn annoying to see in everythead dealing with consoles. I really despise this constant whining (yes like what I am doing now) which most times is by PC gamers who look at console as if there for kids. This will eliminate the beef hopefully or keep it to a minimum. Surely it deserves its own section if a genre of all things like MMORPS's gets its own. No?

Our calendar of events ends with the semester but our publication, The Revealer, carries on through the winter months.
The Center for Religion and Media at NYU has received a two-year grant from the Henry Luce Foundation for an initiative on Digital Religion: Knowledge, Politics and Practice. The project will study how religion intertwines with the update of digital/social media in recent unprecedented social and political transformations–in particular but not exclusively in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central and Southeast Asia–along with the implications of these developments for international relations. The grant was recommended and approved under the Foundation's Henry R. Luce initiative on Religion and International Affairs for September 2011–August 2013.

Mortising with Chisels
- • Steps 1 - 2
- • Steps 3 - 4
Steps 3 - 4
3 When you reach the near end of the mortise, turn the bevel edge away and set the chisel vertically 1/8" from the end line, as shown at left. Then go back to the other end and repeat step one. Continue in this way, checking the depth with a ruler or combination square, until you've reached the desired mortise depth.
4 Here's the key to cutting perfectly smooth, straight ends in a mortise -- the kind of accuracy that results in a strong, tight fit for the tenon. If your mortise is close to the end of the workpiece, find or cut a spacer block of the same thickness as your workpiece, and place it at the end, as shown at left. Clamp a 90� guide block on the layout line that marks the mortise end. Hold the flat side of the chisel firmly against this guide with one hand, and drive the chisel straight down to the bottom of the mortise.
