The HUD approach is fancy, but I choose to display the image on the LCD directly (non-reflection) before we figure out how to use HUD in daylight.
BTW: Try to use the portable projector instead of LCD.

The year 2012 saw many high profile Bollywood divas donning the bridal avatar. Naturally, all eyes were fixed on their bridal looks and they didn't disappoint. The Bollywood bridal looks of this year were not about trends, but more about individualism and very close to the each starlet's personality and ideals.
Each bride had her own style crafted with finesse, elegance and an attempt to stay true to her traditional style. While some donned the dreamy silhouettes, others opted for the traditional nine-yard garb. Let's take a look at the Bollywood brides of 2012.
After the wedding, she changed into a red colour Sabyasachi sari and the Punjabi-chooda (bangles). Siddharth wore an elegant white and yellow kurta with Kolhapuri slippers.

This Halloween season, the library has a special treat in store for you. Actor Todd Loughry transforms himself into the master of the macabre, author Edgar Allan Poe. Imagine seeing and hearing Poe standing before you reciting the chilling story of "The Tell-Tale Heart." However, this is not simply recitation; this is a vivid portrayal of one of America's greatest storytellers and poets. Loughry's performance will transport you not only into the eerie world of the story, but will also give you a glimpse of Poe himself, a complex man who was not without a sense of humor, albeit dark humor. Interaction with the audience is what makes this such a compelling performance, and Loughry adjusts the mood of the evening to correspond to the mood of his audience. Thus each program has a distinctly unique tone. Please join us on October 30th, Halloween eve, at 6:30 p.m. in the John D. Bare Center for this riveting event.
In November, please return for our popular, ongoing library fundraiser -- cash bingo. Join friends and family as you play for prizes of various cash amounts or Vera Bradley merchandise. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the library. Tickets at the door are $18. Doors will open at 11:30 a.m. on Nov. 3. Bingo begins at 1 p.m. and ends at approximately 3:30 p.m. A light lunch and refreshments will be available for purchase. This event is sponsored by The Friends of the Library and your participation enables them to provide funding for future library events such as the Summer Reading Club, Multicultural Day and other special events.
As always, we look forward to seeing you, and thank you for your support.

I'm mad as hell and and I want this fixed now.
- We only need 3 USB plugs/sockets. Large, Small and Tiny. Medium is redundant. And we don't really need Tiny
- Every battery powered device should have an onboard charger so it can be charged from USB via one of the standard USB plugs/sockets. There should not be any need for a separate camera battery charger any more. Just as there is no need for a separate iPod charger unless you need a combined travel plug, USB supply in which case you can buy a generic one. And there should not be any need for yet another 5V charger with yet another socket/plug size/shape for my next phone.
- We do not need any more Headphone/Mic socket designs. 3.5mm and 2.5mm are enough. Actually 3.5mm is enough. And the same socket should be able to cope with plain stereo headphones or stereo headphones with mic, or just mic, or just lineout.
- We do not need any more memory card sizes. SD, XD and XD-mini are enough
- We do not need any more phone/music player/camera battery shapes and sizes. And Apple, please use a standard replaceable battery rather than a soldered in custom battery. I'll accept the 1mm extra thickness.
- We do not need any more inkjet cartridge designs just because the manufacturer wants to differentiate their product.
- We do not need another video out socket design
- We do not need any more docking socket designs on music players and phones. Isn't a single USB actually enough? What does your device need to do that can't be done over USB?
Oh joy. Somebody's done a big spam run using one of my email addresses as the from address. 600 "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" and counting.
Do we actually need "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" any more than "your email appeared to contain a virus"

I don't like iTunes 4 Windows. OK?! Not only is it a bloated heap of crap. Not only does it keep demanding to be upgraded. Not only does it want to upgrade/install Safari and Quicktime. Not only does the upgrade invariably require a restart. But it's got a new behaviour.
Go to a web page by accident about an iPhone application and you can find iTunes being kicked in to life without you doing anything. Go to close it down and it gives you warnings about how its syncing your iPod. But I specifically told it NOT to sync my ipod, what's happening? Will I lose all my music? WiIl it crash Winamp which is also running and also has control of the iPod? Luckily none of these things but it's still unnecessarily scary.
So what's going on here? Web pages that auto-launch desktop applications should be treated as potential trojan/virus pages and avoided like the plague, shouldn't they? Doesn't it strike anyone as strange that whole sections of the Apple world can't be accessed by a simple web browser? Why can't I browse the iPhone App store from the web?
BTW. See Sharepod. If you have an iPod/iPhone, and you don't live in an exclusively Apple world, you absolutely need this Application. It's a Windows iPod sync/copy utility that is zero install and can run from the iPod's disk area. It lets you copy tracks to and from the ipod to any PC without having to register iTunes. There is an open source equivalent called Floola that will do the same thing with Windows, Mac and Linux but for the moment Sharepod works a bit better.

You'll need a passport to buy a mobile phone in the UK - Boing Boing. Original article in The Times
Somebody really hasn't thought this through. Will Bruce Schneier please step up and put them right.
There are 40m phones unregistered PAYG phones out there already in the UK. I look forward to all the Telcos disabling these until the owner registers. I also look forward to Tescos requiring photo ID when purchasing a new one or buying minutes at the checkout counter. And to the Telcos building the systems to capture, store and pass to the gummint, the registration. At the end of all that there will be 5M unaccounted for and another 5m where the owner faked the details and/or passed their SIM to someone else and/or their phone and SIM were stolen by some pikey scum in Camden Market.
So we have 30m law abiding citizens who are not a problem anyway and 10m false positives. Oh, yes. That will really help the War on T'rah!
I try and picture a time somewhere in the future where privacy is seen as a basic human right and the racheted-up command and control, surveillance machine has been dismantled. But short of a complete breakdown in Western society I can't see it. I also can't picture any civil political process whereby the population can force it to be dismantled. Which leaves you with some choices. Just go along with it. Play the invisible ninja game and actively subvert it. Just quietly screw it up whenever you get the chance. Wear a hoody 24/7.
It used to be that whatever happened in California was 5 years ahead of what happened on the East Coast and the UK. I guess I should be proud that the UK is leading the way and what happens here will happen in California in 5 years.

A series of arguments against the Westminster Parking charges for motorcycles
1) The existing payment scheme is discriminatory against some Motorcycle users who don't have a credit card or easy access to a phone, cellphone or internet.
There are people who choose not to own a mobile phone and/or don't have a credit or debit card. Equally, there are people who object to giving address and credit card information to the council, particularly given the recent track record for losing personal information. So how do they pay? In addition it may be unlawful for them to require methods of payment that may not be an option for everyone who wants to use their facility. It appears that prepaid scratch cards may be available. It may also be possible to pay at Westminster car parks. But the story from Westminster keeps changing. The consultation document states "As part of the tender specification, all tenderers have been asked to provide and are being evaluated against robust strategies on how to address the social exclusion issue. " but this has not been done.
2) Motorcycles produce less pollution and congestion than cars
The use of motorcycles is one of the only ways to reduce congestion and pollution in Central London and this is why it is highly supported by the Mayor and Government. The introduction of motorcycle parking charges discourages the use of bikes in Central London, which goes against the Mayor and Government policy to reduce congestion and pollution.
3) Lack of security devices when that's the main justification for the money raised by the scheme.
Westminster trialled security devices prior to the introduction of the scheme that were obviously never going to work unless every biker carried round several metres of chain. They've since given up on this and are trialling an alternative in a small number of bays in residential areas in Westbourne grove. However, Westminster cannot tell us where this new trial is happening and nobody has seen it. So if they're not spending the money on rolling out security, what's the justification for the payment scheme?
4) Payment with no guarantee of being able to find a space.
The scheme encourages you to pay in the morning before leaving for a daily pass. Or for a long term payment such as weekly, monthly or yearly. But there's no guarantee of being able to find a space. This must be a first in that they've created a product that you have pay for regardless of whether that product can be delivered. It's really more like an insurance scheme. Buying the product protects you from the danger of getting a fine, providing you park legally. In fact its even more like a Protection racket. Pay us or we'll ticket and ultimately remove your bike.
5) The scheme is a trial. However there is no information on the signs about how to comment.
The initial notices advising of the comming trial provided information on how to provide comments about the trial. When the full signs went up these were removed. So while the council says there will be a consultation period they have not advertised exactly how the general public can make their views known.
6) What are the actual running costs and what is profit spent on?
The meeting that approved the scheme ear-marked approx £985K for the scheme. Their website now says this. What is the cost breakdown for introducing the new bays? As of 18th August 2008, Westminster has spent £242,234. £16,352 has been spent on the Traffic Management Orders, £6,714 in the car parks and £219,168 has been spent on street. What are the overall projections on income that the council believes it will receive from the new scheme? It is anticipated to generate £675K gross and £261K net once operating costs are taken out. The traffic management orders under which this scheme run say that profit must be spent on traffic and not simply added to the coffers. So. How do Westminster intend to spend the remaining £700K? How do they intend to spend the £261k per year profit?
7) Misleading information about available space.
The usage of parking bays varies widely across the borough. It appears that usage of bays has dropped as people choose not to ride their motorcycle into Westminster. Any occupancy survey during the trial is now likely to be held during the winter when motorcycle use drops anyway. So it's highly likely that the survey will show that there are now sufficient spaces. This is hugely deceptive. Areas such as St James Square were overloaded before and still are. There are also question marks about how Westminster measure available space since they and we probably don't agree on how many bikes can be forced into X metres of bay.
8) Fines are disproportionate
The typical cost of parking a car is £1 to £4 per hour. The fine for parking a car illegally is £40/£80. The typical cost of parking a motorcycle is £0.50 per day to £1.50 per day. And yet the fines are the same £40/£80. This exposes that the real revenue from the scheme is not from the parking charge but from the increased fines.
9) Residents permits are unworkable
It is possible to obtain a residents permit for a motorcycle which allows unlimited parking in residents car bays (not solo motorcycle bays) within a single zone. However although you can register a car and a motorcycle, you can only park one of them in a residents bay at a time. There have been promises of a reduced yearly charge for a normal parking permit for residents but this has not materialised.
10) Saturday parking charges
The report on the scheme said "The parking charge will be required for controlled hours only (08:30 - 18:30 Monday to Friday)." And yet when the scheme was introduced it was 08:30 - 18:30 Monday to Saturday. This affects business in Westminster since it discourages coming into Westminster on a shopping day rather than a work day. It should be pointed out that this scheme is a disincentive to travel into Westminster for whatever reason for motorcyclists. This will then have a knock on effect on business and work in the area.
11) The council has failed to follow its own decision on a robust communications policy
There are several references to a recognition that this scheme is contentious and will require a "robust communcations policy" to explain the scheme to motorcyclists. This has manifestly failed. There is much anecdotal evidence of people receiving multiple tickets because they simply didn't know about the scheme.
12) The spread of motorcycle parking charge schemes to other boroughs and cities.
If Westminster's scheme goes ahead, then it is very likely that other boroughs will follow suit. Since there is no overall strategy or control over London in this area this will lead to each council developing its own scheme and methods of payment. This then will make attempting to pay a complete nightmare for the genral public. Particularly if you have to stop in multiple boroughs during the day.
See Also two documents from the council.
The next demo against Westminster parking charges is Friday Oct 24, 1pm. Meet Park Lane car park. Let's bring London to a halt...
01 Oct 2008
The campaign against Westminster Parking charges gathers pace. Now with banners
29 Sep 2008
So we had the demo against Westminster Parking charges for Motorcycles. And a fun day was had by all. Maybe 200 bikes turned up and we brought Oxford St and Regent st to a halt for 20 minutes or so.
20 Sep 2008
Hanover Square W1, 10:30am Sunday 28th September Details here http://forum.notobikeparkingfees.com
Motorcyclists in London face some challenges; staying out of the congestion charge; being allowed to ride in bus lanes, lack of parking space; lack of secure parking. But now Westminster council have added a new one by introducing a trial scheme to charge for M/C parking. The justification is increased parking space and security devices. They have added some spaces but the security devices are only being tested in a couple of residents only bays. The charging scheme involves a broken system of pre-registering, dealing with call centres and mobile phone texting. Make no mistake about it, this is a revenue generation scheme with a stated and planned pay back in under 2 years. And the big part of the revenue is not from the £1.50 per day charge but the £60/120 fines. And you can be sure that if it's allowed to succeed, the price will go up and it will be adopted by other councils in London.
So please come and support the demo. If nothing else it's an excuse to stand around talking about bikes! And then go and write to the council and if you can, hand deliver the letter and get a signature for it.

Bursting bubble in 5, 4, 3, 2,
I can understand somebody following the teachings of Christ. I can understand somebody being a pantheist (Universe is God is the universe). What I have trouble understanding is people who believe the literal truth of the Old Testament and the related books. These books seem to me to be at best teaching stories and parables and at worst rather bad explanations of the universe born of ignorance, mixed in with a bit of inaccurate mythical history. On that basis, I don't see any contradictions between Religion and Science and it does seem as if at least the mainstream Protestant and Catholic churches are finally reaching the same position. They still seem to be a bit hung up on miracles but they're getting there.
Where I have a real problem is with fundamentalists of any religion using faith to deny science and poisoning the minds of children to spread that viewpoint. If you're prepared to throw out the scientific method when it comes to the creation myth, then it seems to me you really ought to throw out all the other results of the scientific method. So no antibiotics, SUVs, air-conditioning or HDTV for you then.
This is basically the message that Richard Dawkins is pushing. What's unfortunate is that he comes over as an intellectual prig. He just can't resist sneering at people he considers stupid.

The Olympics are coming up. The culture show did a great program last night about China. China is going to be all over the news media in the next month. So it's time to take a look at China's role in the next 20 years. So here's a few random thoughts.
China is moving at an incredible pace. They seem to be compressing what happened in the West during 1890-1990 into 1990-2010 So with the benefit of hindsight and this year's technology, they're running at at least 5 times the pace we did. 50% of the world's cement and 50% of the world's construction cranes are in China now. It feels to me like China is in a race to get to a post-industrial economy before they burn out, raw resources become too expensive or they stifle themselves with pollution. Can Gaia sustain this level of growth from 1/6th of the world's population? Can they get from a Feudal model of a few rich and a vast army of poor to a predominantly middle class culture without destroying us all in the process? What does a nation of 1Billion middle class even look like.
I can't think of a single Chinese global brand with the possible exception of The Bank of China. How long before the first Honda or Sony or Toyota appears out of China?
One of the most telling comments on the Culture Show last night was that China felt like the USA. There was the same confidence and arrogance, the same nationalism, the same inward view and the same lack of understanding of why the rest of the world should criticise them.
There's a Starbucks on every corner of every major city in the world. Every one is exactly the same. It's created by a Roman military style, command and control, organisation structure. There's a chinese takeway on every corner of every major city in the world. They're all different but all have the same style. They were created by a hive mind of individuals all acting independently but to a common model. Is this a metaphor for the difference between right wing authoritarians and left wing libertarians? Is there something to be learned there about a fundamental difference of approach between the USA and China?
China has 5000 years of culture to draw on. They also have 2000 years of Western culture to draw on. While the show last night did show a few instances of uniquely Chinese design, the majority looked very derivative. Do we really need a Warhol-esque Mao cartoon in the style of the famous Che poster? Or a Happy-Tree Friends Panda with fangs and dripping blood? Or a Chinese Punk/New-rave/Trance boy band? How long before a major global cultural movement emerges out of China? Because at the moment it seems to be all magpie like remixing, not creating.

Whereas I do find it an eloquent piece, I fail to understand who is the audience of this rather Racist writing. When you note down your observations and fears, may I dare ask who do you represent Mr. Julian?? I don't think we represent any KKK here on the Ecademy. In today's Global Village we do not need segregationist. Rather we should try to assimilate. We must celebrate Modern China instead of trying to cast doubts on their designs or abilities . Taiwan is part of China and the whole world including US, acknowledges this fact but China has never invaded to reoccupy it. They have not been expansionist in their designs or actions. What's the phobia about??
Abdul. I'm a Brit not an American. As a Brit I reserve the right to take the piss out of everyone equally including ourselves! wink If there's phobia or racism there, it's unconscious and I apologise unreservedly.
I do think global brands, global cultural movements, global views and global involvement will come out of China. I just don't think its happened yet. Given the pace of change there, I think its going to happen sooner rather than later. In some ways the criticism is the same as we had of Japan in the 50s and 60s; that they can't innovate, only copy. We now know just how wrong that was although at the time there was an element of truth in it.
In today's global world there is nothing original anymore. How very post-modernist of you. smile There's a properly deep History of Art discussion to be had right there. Yes, of course, no art exists in a vacuum and it is always a product of its environment and so to some extent derivative. But we also recognise novelty and judge some art to be derivative and others to be ground breaking and genuinely new. And I would agree with you that way too much of what passes for art now is extremely derivative. I've also no doubt that a BBC documentary on culture in China is inevitably going to find itself interviewing an art world that mirrors its counterpart in the west. The really interesting stuff is probably happening out at the edges and right now it's probably off radar.

Been thinking a lot recently about the tension in the world today between Right Wing Authoritarianism and Anarcho-Syndicalism or Libertarian Communalism. This partly comes from a view of politics as being (at least) two dimensional. There's the traditional Communal vs Individual or Left-Right split but there's also an Authoritarian vs Libertarian split. The top right Right Wing Authoritarian position is the one that has driven the USA's exceptional performance in the last 100 years or so. But RWAs are extremely dangerous in the long run because they have no self-limiting ethics. They believe in the power of the individual but also in the right of the powerful individual to control what everyone else does for their own benefit. It's very hard to see self interest in the interests of society as a whole from that position.
Another way of looking at this is the Roman military, Command and Control, pyramid structure which has been with us in the West for 2500 years and the hive mind anarchic structures that have been around in the East for 5000 years. A classic example of that is to compare the Starbucks organisation with the lack of organisation of the "Chinese Takeaway" as a concept.
I think the other major driver in social politics is Mammalian Tribes. Man is a tribal animal and tribes are typically driven by the 5-10% who fight for the right to be alpha male and hence control the overall direction of the tribe.
What's interesting is the growth in the last 30 years of structures that are inherently anarchic but have sufficient power behind them to completely change the way the world works. Many of these such as the core protocols of the internet or the open source movement were built via an Anarcho-Syndicalist (P2P) model. But even in these at the micro level you can see mammalian politics at work as it seems to be a requirement to have a benevolent dictatorship at the core. So really they are right wing libertarian in control structure even though a lot of the work is done in a left wing libertarian way.

The site maintenance over the last weekend went smoothly and I hope you're enjoying the much increased speed of the Ecademy website. We have two problems as a result.
Some people have been receiving email from the site that is dated December 2007. It seems we had a large queue of email that had been held. When that was copied across, the new email server finally delivered it. If you receive email notifications, particularly about subscription problems, that you weren't expecting then check the date. If the Sent date is very old, then simply discard it.
The main Contacts Search seems to have got out of step and some searches are not returning the data they should. This is currently being dealt with and should improve over the next day or so.

A second virus email has appeared with text about Ecademy, Subject: "ECADEMY will close work in April 2008". It appears to be from email@example.com
One copy we've seen was sent from a Korean home broadband PC using Outlook Express. This makes it look as though it's being sent by a botnet of infected PCs round the world.

Police officers obtained search warrants last week for a Broadway residence out of which two suspected marijuana dealers were operating.
While conducting surveillance at the residence, officers reportedly observed the two suspects arrive in a car, briefly enter the home, then return to the vehicle and drive away eastbound on Broadway.
The patrol unit followed the suspects along Broadway, as they eventually turned onto Cross St., whereupon a stop was made.
According to reports, a plastic bag containing what appeared to be marijuana was found in plain sight on the lap of the car's passenger, Ella Mataev, 24, and another one on the door handle of the side of the driver, Joseph Flynn, 21.
Police said that after being advised of their Miranda rights, one of the suspects, Mataev, made incriminating statements about being involved in marijuana trafficking.
Officers followed up by executing the search warrant at the suspect's apartment. With the aid of the K-9 unit, more than 3 grams of marijuana, several rounds of ammunition, 2 holsters, digital scales, and packaging material utilized for drug sales were reportedly found.
A subsequent enquiry found that neither suspect had a FID card for the ammunition.
Flynn and Mataev were placed under arrest and charged with conspiracy to violate drug law, drug violation near a park or school, possession of ammunition without a FID card, and drug possession to distribute.
12 Responses to "Suspected pot dealers nabbed"
"marijuana dealers, marijuana trafficking…..more than 3 grams of marijuana (less 4grams)". If the did not have several rounds of ammunition & 2 holsters. it would of been a waste of time. even now with no guns… what are they going to do throw bullets at you. lol
They probably didn't know what date that they could sell their pot.
I don't think most people know. But as of now the medical marijuana bill has passed and is the LAW. There might now be dispensaries on every corner in every town. But you IF/ can get a medical Dr. to write a note stating smoking weed helps you medically… on a napkin for that matter… you can legally grow marijuana in your backyard, until the "whole dispensarie" stuff worked out ( Taxed at the state level ). AGAIN STATE LEVEL ONLY. IF YOUR NEIGHBORS CALL THE DEA U R ALL DONE!!! Got a letter from my Dr. and already got some GREAT looking stuff growing.
yeah boy… 100% correct. Forget da police and their marijuana charges. THAT GAME IS OVER!!!
So 'cause they owned a few bullets and 2 pieces of leather, it was not 'a waste of time'?
They had their rights violated, likely hundreds of police hours (on going surveillance, numerous cops at the arrest, case built up, paper work after, going to court, paying to supervise them while in jail) wasted, thousands of tax payer dollars down the drain.
And even if you believe that you or politicians have a right to regulate what people willing put in their bodies, this case had no effect on the availability of pot.
Wow, what are you smoking to believe that finding a few bullets made this worth the while? Imagine if those cops were working to prevent rapes. Or if the money was spent feeding the poor. While people like you keep being apologist for the Drug War, rational thought will not prevail. You are part of the problem, attempting to justify the police state.
Why are the Somerville police wasting their time on this victimless 'crime' ?
Sounds like someone ratted them out if cops were doing surveillance work on a couple of 20-somethings. Wouldn't be surprised if this had a ripple effect that resulted in something violent. "Snitches get stitches" mentality after all. The ammo and holsters without guns thing is a little weird though.
@Ron, cant fully blame the Cops. The enforce the laws on the books, and while they can turn a blind eye, they are just doing their job.
Blame the politicians and the busy bodies that feel they know what is best for others, and feel that writing more laws is the best solution.
@ Mr. Info – The state can not tax the marijuana shops because they will be non-profit. The state can not tax non-profit organizations.
@Claire That is not true. Non-profit status means you are exempt from the Federal (and often State) income tax. The vast majority of sales to customers still have to collect sales tax. This is because business never pay the sales tax on sales to customers, but are just acting as the states agent, collecting sales from the customer.
I'm sure that marijuana shops will be taxed, and that is one of the huge arguments for them. Why pay billions of dollars to enforce what people can or cant put in their own bodies, when you can just tax them.
They can and should turn a blind eye. Enforcing these outdated laws is inconsistent with Somerville's efforts to become a place where artistic and creative people live and work.

Marion County Sheriff Tim Bailey is announcing that deputies will be conducting a traffic enforcement blitz to correlate with 4th of July activities in the county. Extra patrols will be working now through July 4th to ensure the safety of our community during weekend activities. In an effort to ensure the safety of the motoring public, the sheriff's office will be enforcing a zero tolerance policy on speeding, drunk driving, and seatbelt violations. Marion County residents are urged to obey traffic laws and have a safe and enjoyable 4th of July.
These extra patrol activities were made possible through a grant from the Ohio Department of Public Safety and the Governor's Highway Safety Office. The grant was awarded to the Marion County Sheriff's Office in a continued effort to lower traffic accidents related to alcohol, speed, and seatbelt violations. Motorists are to expect to see deputies enforcing traffic safety countywide. Sheriff Tim Bailey and his deputies are committed to keep Marion County roadways safe for all residents and visitors.
On June 13th, 2011, deputies stopped a vehicle in the area of Jamesway Drive and Marion Mt. Gilead Road. The vehicle stopped was involved in a reckless operation complaint earlier in the evening and deputies later located the vehicle and stopped it for not having a visible front license plate and for having an excessively loud exhaust. The driver of the vehicle was 20 year old Cody S. Townsend of 228 ½ Lincoln Avenue, Mt. Gilead. Townsend was issued a citation for fictitious plates for having license plates of another person's vehicle on his car.
Deputies indentified the lone occupant of Townsend's vehicle as 27 year old Stephen Schneider of 648 Mayfield Drive, Marion. When Schneider's information was checked a traffic warrant out of Florida was attached to his record, but the warrant appeared to be a non-qualifying warrant for Ohio. A few minutes later, the Florida Highway Patrol, advised that the warrant was confirmed for Schneider, was a qualifying warrant in Ohio and that they would extradite Schneider to Florida. The Florida Highway Patrol indicated that the warrant against Schneider was dated June 7, 2011and the charge was for vehicular homicide.
Schneider was placed under arrest for the Florida warrant. Schneider was transported to the Marion multi-county jail, where he is awaiting extradition to Florida.
The Florida State Highway Patrol accident report indicates that on April 7, 2011 Schneider was driving north on I-95 in Miami when it made sudden lane changes in an attempt to get to an exit that was four lanes away. Schneider struck a vehicle that was traveling north in the left center lane, causing the vehicle to lose control and strike a concrete barrier wall. The driver of the struck vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene.
LIMA -- A Marion County deputy spotted a missing Allen County man from the air when the sheriff's office flight team was called out to help in the search two weeks ago.
Allen County Sheriff Sam Crish said the 94-year-old man was doing fine after being out in a severe thunderstorm during the 27 hours he was missing.
He had spoken to the man's family, and medically, he was doing OK.
"I was surprised he survived the storm, due to his age and the conditions of the storm," Crish said.
When putting together a search team after the man was reported missing on a Monday after not coming back after going out to get the mail in the morning, Crish called on Marion County Sheriff Tim Bailey for assistance.
He knew Bailey from working with the Buckeye State Sheriffs' Association and that Marion County would be willing to offer assistance if it could.
Bailey and Deputy John Butterworth went to help, but got chased out by the storms that day, Bailey said.
"They put together a search team and asked us to come over and fly support," he said.
Marion County went back to Lima on Tuesday, picked up an Allen County deputy at the airport, and took off.
"Within 15 minutes, we spotted him. John spotted him," Bailey said.
They radioed the information to the teams on the ground, who were able to find the man still alive.
"We thought after 27 hours, the unfortunate may have happened," he said.
On the ground, Crish had a search team of volunteer firefighters, his special deputies, full-time deputies and parks department canvassing the area, and even as Butterworth spotted the man from overhead, there were other volunteers on their way to the area to help however they could.
The response from everyone to help in the search was absolutely positive, Crish said.

Just as it did in 2001 when the Asian Development Bank conference was held in Hawaii, the state's isolation might help limit the size of protests during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit next month, some government officials say.
"I would suspect that to some extent, because we're isolated in the middle of the Pacific and it's expensive to get here, that we may not be facing the kind of thing that they would on the mainland where you can hop in a Volkswagen bus and cross state lines in a heartbeat and go hundreds of miles," Mayor Peter Carlisle said in a recent interview.
But the mayor and his administration insist that opposing voices will be allowed to be heard. "This is America," he said. "People are allowed to protest. People are allowed to exercise their freedom of speech rights, and they are going to be allowed to do so, but obviously not at the expense of people's safety or in violation of the law."
Exactly how and where protests will be allowed is being determined. While the city said it intends to provide opportunities for exercise of free speech, it also has accommodated requests for city, state and federal use of several public areas to stage emergency vehicles. Those areas include Ala Moana Beach Park, Ala Wai Promenade, Ala Wai Community Park, Ala Wai Golf Clubhouse, Kapiolani Park and Kamokila Community Park.
A city spokeswoman said all of the plans for using the park areas are awaiting final approval and could change based on the needs of law enforcement and security for APEC.
At least one group, World Can't Wait-Hawaii, had requested a permit to gather at the Ala Wai Promenade, where it demonstrated during the 2001 ADB conference. After initially being denied a permit, the group reached an agreement — with the intervention of the American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii — to access part of the promenade that will be shared with law enforcement.
The ACLU says it is working with the city on giving the public more notice on what parks are available for use. "A lot of uncertainly remains because the secure zones have not yet been announced," Vanessa Chong, executive director of the ACLU-Hawaii, said in an email. "Once we know, the ACLU will determine whether they adequately protect the right to free speech and will be ready to take necessary action."
She added that the ACLU is so far "encouraged by the commitment" of government officials to respect free-speech rights.

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) - Authorities have identified the second person found dead after a house fire in Henderson last week.
Clark County coroner's officials say 67-year-old Ralph Eugene Griffin was found dead early Tuesday morning inside the house on Armstrong Circle. They say 88-year-old Donna Louise Griffin was also killed.
Authorities say a citizen driving by the house alerted them to flames about 2:30 in the morning. Crews say they were able to put the fire out in a matter of minutes.
Investigators say the fire started in the living room, but haven't released an exact cause.
Henderson spokeswoman Kathleen Richards says the house is located in an older part of town, near Burkholder Boulevard and Center Street. Damage was estimated at $50,000.

Sixty-seven senators chose to side with corporate interests rather than uphold the Constitution today, passing the FISA Amendments Act (FAA) and voting to reject every amendment that would have improved the bill and protected American civil liberties.
For a list of which Senator cast which shameful vote, here is the official tally.
This warrantless wiretapping program was the single largest invasion of privacy in the history of the country and we just sanctioned it by granting retroactive immunity.
He also vowed to continue the fight when the House returns its version of the bill, using "whatever vehicles we can" to oppose immunity.
Today, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino admitted that the defendants in the lawsuits against telecommunications carriers "certainly helped us," marking the first time the White House has admitted that the particular companies alleged to have participated in the wiretapping did indeed participate.
Despite the strong leadership of senators like Chris Dodd and Russ Feingold, the Senate passed the FISA Amendments Act (FAA), failing to strip telecom immunity from a terrible surveillance bill. The Dodd-Feingold amendment to remove immunity from the FAA failed in a 31 to 67 vote (51 votes were needed), and the FAA passed 68 to 29.
Since late last week, the Republican National Committee (RNC) has been circulating a comically lame political advertisement around Capitol Hill. Since the ad isn't actually running on TV anywhere, the message is clearly to members of Congress and their staff: "If you don't do as Bush says on the issue of telecom immunity, this is the kind of ad we will run against you in your home district in November."
As Evidence of Piracy Weakens, House Passes Overbearing "Campus Digital Theft Prevention" Requirements
The House passed the College Opportunity and Affordability Act (COAA) last week, leaving the troubling "Campus Digital Theft Prevention" requirements intact despite recent revelations that fears over unauthorized campus-based filesharing were drastically overblown by the motion picture industry.

As if it weren't bad enough that the RIAA's lawsuits against file-sharers are futile, unfair, and immoral [PDF], they are also beginning to distort the law. In many of these cases, the recording industry is urging judges to accept controversial legal theories on the way to busting file sharers. It's not clear whether this is a tactical effort to cut legal corners to save money, or a strategic effort to build lower court precedents for use in other cases. Either way, these are frequently extremely unfair fights (such as in Atlantic v. Howell, where the defendant can't even afford a lawyer), and thus bad vehicles for making controversial new law. The judges simply aren't hearing both sides.
EFF is trying to do something about that.
"Spies' Battleground Turns Virtual," proclaims a headline in Wednesday's Washington Post. The headline alone would raise concerns — after decades of electronic surveillance, what exactly is it about US spies' work that has suddenly turned virtual? But this turns out to be only the first of the many falsehoods, baseless assertions and lame misperceptions that comprise the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity's new fearmongering paper on the dangers of unmonitored civillian communication.

|Ciliary ganglioplegic migraine: Migraine-related prolonged mydriasis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20847085 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Background: Transient, unilateral mydriasis has been reported in migraine patients, and this has been regarded as a possible co-morbidity between migraine and Adie's tonic pupil. Mydriasis that outlasts the duration of migraine attacks is rare. Methods: Through an eight-year period we have studied all patients referred to our neurological clinic because of migraine attack with mydriasis. All the patients underwent thorough neurologic and ophthalmologic examinations including MRI of the brain and testing of the pupil response to ocular instillation of dilute pilocarpine (0.125%). Results: Seven women and two men, with a mean age of 33.8 ± 12.3 years (range: 19-52) were included. The patients presented during one hemicranial migraine attack with an ipsilateral mydriasis that persisted for a mean of three months, while migraine headaches remained with their typical episodic course. In all the patients a cholinergic supersensitivity in the symptomatic pupil was demonstrated, thus pointing to a dysfunction of the ipsilateral ganglionic parasympathetic fibers. Conclusions: Synchronous co-localization of the features suggests a pathogenic link between the pupil dysfunction and migraine, rather than a simultaneous coexistence of two independent disorders. Likely explanations include a latent Adie's pupil that could have been triggered during a particular migraine attack; a ciliar ganglionic lesion/dysfunction produced by the migrainous process; an ophthalmoplegic migraine with selective parasympathycoparesis; or an episodic ciliar ganglionitis with migrainous features. Ciliary ganglioplegic migraine is proposed as a nominal term pointing to the possible anatomic source of the migrainous-related pupil dysfunction; the pathogenesis remains unknown.

Doug Kemp, UK Reviews Editor
I have been a UK Reviews Editor since 2007, having first joined the HNS in 2000. A keen and horrendously amateur historian, my main interest is in the Restoration Court and politics of Charles II. But I have an enthusiasm for good writing of any kind and a passion for books (witness the crammed shelves of our library and covetous visits to two large spare newly-vacated rooms now that the children have moved out, gauging potential wonderful shelving space that is available….)
I am a senior civil servant in Whitehall, and when not reading, can be found keeping fit by running, trying to tame a garden that seems to think it is clever to grow weeds at sub-tropical pace or, best of all, actively following the fortunes and misfortunes of Leicester City – very possibly the best football team in the world – who I have supported since the age of 7.
Ilysa Magnus, US Reviews Editor
Not having had enough to do in her absurdly busy life as a Manhattan family law attorney, Ilysa Magnus became a U.S. reviews editor in 2000 after having been (happily) sucked into the Historical Novel Society as one of its reviewers. Growing up surrounded by books and reading since her earliest memories, Ilysa was an English teacher in her earlier incarnation, obtained her undergraduate and graduate degrees in English literature with a specialty in Chaucer and the Middle Ages, and finally petered out as a doctoral student as she hunkered down to her dissertation on Morgan le Fay of Arthurian legend. Perhaps that Ph.D. was never awarded, but Ilysa still fancies herself driven by that divine combination of history and literature that defines historical fiction — and knowing what constitutes compelling writing is certainly a help in her life as a litigator!
Tamela McCann, US Reviews Editor
Tamela McCann has been reading historical fiction since the first time she picked up The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare, longer ago than she cares to admit, and her love of the genre has only grown since then. By day she spends her time teaching middle schoolers how to use technology but retreats into reading and reviewing at every opportunity. She lives in Tennessee with her husband, daughters, and three incredibly spoiled cats, and is working on several writing projects of her own. She is an Amazon Top 500 reviewer, writes a blog found at www.taminator40.blogspot.com, and can be followed on Twitter at @taminator40. She is proud to have joined the HNS editorial team in August 2011.

"I couldn't be happier with this invitation! The card stock is of nice quality and the printing turned out great. I love how colorful it is! Even the back of the card is super cute too. Perfect for my son's first birthday!"
"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"Again, these were perfect for a nine year old's "Lego Birthday Party"....I used a photo of him in his Lego costume from last Halloween!"
"Loved my daughters 1st bday invites. The designs provided were excellent. I appreciated the sophisticated yet whimsical choices. As always, the print & paper quality was top of the line. Lastly, love that you provide a designer review! We will not shop anywhere else."
"Not only did I love the invitations for my son's first birthday party, but the customer service was FANTASTIC. I was personally called by Tiny Prints concerning the placement of my photo (the "ONE" was so big it covered my son's chin in the picture), and the employee created an alternative version for me to view with smaller lettering so that my son's chin was not covered. ALSO, the invitations arrived extremely fast and are beautiful!!"

Nato envoy leaps to his deathComment on this story
Brussels -
Officials say Serbia's ambassador to Nato committed suicide by leaping from a busy parking garage platform at Brussels airport.
A Serbian government statement said on Wednesday that the envoy, Branislav Milinkovic, 52, died instantly on Tuesday night.
A diplomat who could not be identified because he was not authorised to speak to the media said Milinkovic suddenly jumped from the 8- to 10-metre-high platform while waiting with the Serbian delegation for foreign ministry officials due to hold talks with Nato officials.
Serbia is not a member of the military alliance, but has a mission in the headquarters complex. Milinkovic, a former journalist, previously served as Serbia's ambassador to Austria.
The death occurred during two days of meetings of Nato foreign ministers in Brussels. - Sapa-AP

How do I get to the Suvarnahumbi airport now if I travel by train?

Hi all,
Glad I found this message board! I have traveled to Chiang Mai before and took the overnight train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok when I departed the country. It was easy to sleep, then just get off the train at about 0530 and go into the airport terminal for my flight.
Now since they are using the new airport, what stop should I get off the train? Do I now need to take a taxi or shuttle from a train stop to the Suvarnahumbi airport? How long would it take to transfer from the train to the airport this way?
Thanks in advance! I would still like to take the train from Chiang Mai, but if it takes too long to transfer I might have to fly instead.

Hi notruss,
Welcome to Travelfish!
The new airport is a LONG way from the train line! You'll need to take an airport bus from Hualamphong to the airport or a taxi. Time taken depends very much on time of day and destination. It took us over an hour from new airport to Sukhumvit (soi 27) on a friday night, while another friend came in on wednesday night and the same trip took 20 minutes... To the train station I'd guess an average trip would by 30-45 minutes.
Hope that helps

Thank you mahout!
Well, that's not good news for me, but at least it is one less "suprise" to deal with when on a timetable to leave the country. I hope they plan to add a Suvarnahumbi stop in the future.
I would think the new airport being as far away from the Don Muang is going to hurt the already established hotel business near the old airport.
I have decided to fly into Bangkok the day before and get a room near Suvarnahumbi since my flight departing the country leaves at about 0800.
If anyone knows of a reasonable mid-level hotel they could suggest near Suvarnahumbi, I would greatly appreciate it. The Novotel hotel advertised at Suvarnahumbi is priced as a monopoly in my opinion.
Thanks for your time!
