Yeah, I was thinking helicopter - easier to land
Not sure why I am shifting to being serious on this point, but by "drone" I mean a hover or copter drone. The kind that are going to be everywhere in the future. The control systems are now good enough to make them autonomous.
There have been a number of documentaries about these. Really cool.To be called a drone doesn't it have to be autonomous?Advances in computer hardware and software, cameras,... is making these cheap and available to the masses, for example, backpackers. Good for harrassing wildlife, probably not so good for ferrying supplies : )Need to mount some sort of offensive weapon in addition to camera.
Cool! Little drones would be just the thing for target practice. So much more fun than skeet. Bring 'em on!
I had a Globalstar phone from 2005-2009, until their failed-amp problems got so bad that I wasn't able to make a connection even during predicted windows. I also had a 9600-baud Internet kit, which was useful when traveling by car outside of cell coverage.I then switched to an Iridium phone. It has worked reliably whenever I've used it, including in areas with limited sky view. The contract price keeps creeping up ($55/mo. not including minutes), so I'm considering moving back to Globalstar when they become fully operational again.I consider the sat phone to be a 1-pound penalty for my freedom. It's a business thing, and as long as I can check that my machines are running smoothly and thump them when they aren't, I can be away doing what I want. I also go solo, off-trail, year-round, and as long as my wife knows I can call if I'm in trouble, she doesn't worry about me. I don't consider that I'm 'chained to the grid'; instead, because I only use it to call out and it's turned off otherwise, nobody can bother me until I am ready to check in for a few minutes once a day. Since I don't have an Internet kit for it, I can't check my e-mail ("so sorry").
DeLorme released all the specs for the inReach SE today:http://inreachdelorme.com/product-info/inreachse.php"Now accepting pre-orders.

For whitewater raft trips in the Grand Canyon, NPS recommends (PDF) satellite phones or handheld ground-to-air radio transceivers for emergency communications. With the radio, you raise a passing airplane on a monitored frequency, relay a brief message to the pilot, and the pilot passes the message onward. If you get a commercial airliner, the message might go you -> pilot -> LA, Denver, or Albuquerque ATC -> local sheriff -> NPS.I rented a ground-to-air radio for a 1996 Grand Canyon trip, which never came out of it's Pelican box. No small sat phones back then.Example: A Yaesu FTA-720 transceiver weighs 9.9 oz. (280 grams) with antenna, and costs about $300.I don't know the legalities of using ground-to-air radios for emergency communications anywhere else. Also, not very useful if you backpack in areas with very little air traffic.-- Rex
A little over twenty years ago, a ground-to-air transceiver saved some lives on Mount Whitney. Backpackers were in the summit hut one afternoon when it was struck by lightning, killing at least one outright. Others were severely injured and others only mildly burned. One survivor ran to get help. [Try running at 14,000 feet sometime and see how far you get.] He ran down to Trail Camp at 12,000 feet where some boy scouts had a transceiver. Once they understood the emergency, they transmitted a Mayday to an airliner passing overhead. The pilot got the message and radioed ahead to the tower at LAX, which telephoned the Inyo County Sheriff. The sheriff could not do much that afternoon, so they called the Air National Guard which flew a small helicopter up to the summit for rescue... that very afternoon. That is pretty impressive. They took the two severely injured people right then. At dawn the next morning, a large helicopter flew up to the summit and flew the rest of the party off.It never would have happened without the scouts with the radio.--B.G.--
As of August 28, 2013, a complete constellation of Globalstar second-generation satellites is fully operational:http://www.globalstar.com/en/index.php?cid=7010&pressId=792This means Globalstar phones and Spot Global phones should work anytime you have a clear view of most of the sky, and you are in the Globalstar coverage area.The problems with the old satellites did not affect Spot devices, and the new satellites will not improve Spot performance.-- Rex

Brett McMurphy of ESPN is reporting that Bitcoin, the virtual currency, has been named as the title sponsor of the St. Petersburg Bowl, a real-life college football bowl game.
Bitcoin St. Petersburg Bowl is new name of St. Pete Bowl, source told @ESPN— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) June 18, 2014

Bitcoin spokesman: ″College football fans & bitcoin community represent similar target demographic - tech-savvy men b/w ages 18 & 40″— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) June 18, 2014
Naturally, the idea that a college football bowl game — whose sole reason for existence is to make bowl organizers and ESPN lots and lots of money — will actually be sponsored by money generated a fair amount of laughs from the college football Twitterati.
I can't think of a better sponsor for a bowl game than fake money.— TEDDY GOOALSEVELT (@edsbs) June 18, 2014

Devon/Cornwall by train
We will be arriving by ship in Southampton next spring and would like to spend 3 nights each in Devon and Cornwall, returning to London by train from Penzance. We are interested in a bit of everything..walks, gardens, cathedrals, villages and moors. I'm thinking Exeter would be a good base in Devon but would rather stay in a country hotel in a village if it wasn't too far off the beaten track. I know we will be limited without a car a d would love to join a tour group in Devon for a day or two if anyone has a suggestion for one. We are thinking St. Ives for our time in Cornwall and know of a good guide there. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

Our Trip to The Wuyi Mountains (武夷山)
The semester for students here at Xiamen University came to a close last week. This brought work in my lab to a screeching halt as students sought time to unwind and celebrate the success of graduating students. Christy and I were invited to KTV, a popular karaoke chain, where we spent hours singing, laughing and enjoying a few drinks with our Chinese friends.
Our break continued with an extended-weekend trip to the Wuyi Mountains (武夷山) with the student I work with, Li Wen, and her 3 roommates. Getting there was simple enough for Wen, Christy and I: about an hour by bus from campus to the airport and a 40-minute plane ride to Wuyi Mountain. Wen's roommates, who weren't able to book discount air tickets, took the train, a 12-hour journey through the mountains of Fujian province!
Each day began with a traditional breakfast of preserved vegetables, hard boiled eggs (in tea, not water), steamed buns and pork filled dumplings. A couple of chickens, which Christy prayed we wouldn't eat, wandered around the tables looking for scraps as we ate. Our days were spent climbing countless stairs as we followed winding paths through the mountains, down into cool caves and by the side of breathtaking waterfalls. Though not a problem I often experience I was just overcoming a slight cold and the heat was too much for me on our second day. Halfway up the side of one mountain I sat down with a splitting headache. It hurt so bad I couldn't move my neck and struggled to open my eyes. Next thing I know one of Wen's friends whips out a green box and passes her a dark vial with Chinese characters I probably won't learn until the semester after next printed all over the label. Wen hands it to me and says "Here, traditional Chinese medicine". Now I'm the kind of person who doesn't take medicine or see a doctor unless I think I might be dying. I thought I was dying, so I downed it and hoped for the best. It was naaaaaaasty… but my headache was gone almost instantly. I sat the rest of that day out with Wen at the bottom of the mountain working on my Chinese and smiling for the camera's of countless Asian tourists who wanted a picture of the "Laowai" with a fro (老外, literally "old outside", or foreigner). Better days were spent rafting down the Nine-bend River and eating countless watermelon's which could be purchased along almost every stretch of road in town. There was also a very popular cave called "Thread of Sky". At the entrance to the cave was a sign that warned pregnant women and people with high blood pressure to take another route. We could hear people screaming but I thought it was because of the bats flying overhead. We didn't realize that people were getting stuck in the path's tightest point (30cm) until we were hugging the dripping rock walls ourselves.
We slept and ate most of our meals at a small, family run, budget hotel that I would highly recommend to any adventurous traveler heading that way. Come Sunday night we were all exhausted, thoroughly cooked by the heat of southern China, and ready to get back home to Xiamen. At dinner, however, we were greeted with the news that a typhoon had stirred up in the waters around Xiamen and that our flight had been canceled "until further notice". The airline put us up in another hotel until our flight the following afternoon. After arriving in Xiamen the six of us hired two cabs to take us back to campus. Along the way we could see the damage that had been done by the storm, mostly tattered billboards here and there and a few fallen trees and large branches closer to campus. Everyone is fine though and we'll be headed back to work first thing in the morning.
Wen and I have a lot of catching up to do with our work. We purchase the sharks (Scoliodon laticaudus) for our research from a local vendor at the fish market. The vendor also supplies us with the shark uteri for free since people don't normally buy them. If we don't call in advance though she doesn't know to save them for us and we end up with a smaller sample size. That's what happened last time, hence the "catching up". I think our problem may also be tied to a little miscommunication since Wen doesn't speak the local dialect, a fact the vendor always forgets and attempts to conduct business in when we arrive.
I'm a little worried that the pickings will be particularly slim this week because of the storm. Though we could always gather more uteri closer to the end of the experiment, it would help to have a significant number of embryo's this week to increase our chances of producing a complete record of the developmental stages. I have faith in our vendor though and am sure that this week at work will be a fruitful one.

It's amazing how one traumatic experience in life can change you and your perspective on things. This is the birth story of my sweet Liam Douglas who was born at home on July 20, 2014 at 5:53 AM.
I started having contractions on Saturday that started around 12 in the morning. They were not anything that I thought strong enough to keep count of nor was I thinking that they would continue throughout the whole day, but that's exactly what they did. I went about my day as normal, and we went over to my parents house that night to celebrate my Grandpa's birthday. The thought of having Liam on my Grandpa's birthday crossed my mind. How neat would that have been?!? Only missed it by a few hours 😉
Once we arrived home from my parents house, and put both the girls to bed, things started progressing. I texted my midwife, Rosemary Thornton, that contractions were 7 min apart and lasting 48 seconds. She decided that it was probably time to head down this way. I let my parents know and my friend, Samantha, about what was going on and to come over whenever they wanted to. I think that labor truly started around 8:15 Saturday night. I did take 4 tbsp of Castor oil this time as well since the contractions were staying so consistent. I was tired. I had not slept at all the night before and I was pretty sure that I wasn't going to sleep at all that night either.
The contractions stayed at either 4,5,or 6 min apart never getting any closer to each other but REALLY intensifying. Liam was still posterior so I had a lot of lovely back labor with him. Finally around 5:15 the contractions got stronger, closer, and I felt like pushing. This labor was by far my hardest! He was still posterior while I was pushing and finally decided to flip himself around right before he was born. Our little 8 lb. 11 oz. boy came into the world at 5:53 AM.
It was a difficult and long labor and delivery but after giving birth at home they settled me on the couch with little Liam and all seemed well until…
I had began bleeding and losing a lot of fluid. I needed to get to the bathroom because I started to bleed quite a bit and I ended up passing out while I was on the toilet. The midwife, Rosemary Thornton, gave me oxygen as she was checking my vitals, trying to figure out whether I was just fatigued or if it was something more serious. But after a while of trying to get me to perk up it became clear that I was going into shock, and needed an ambulance. I was in and out of consciousness and she had a difficult time finding my vitals. Many prayers were being lifted to the Lord. As soon as the paramedics came and got an IV in my arm I started coming out of it a bit.
I was taken to the nearest hospital and found out that I had many and some large blood clots (which they determined I am prone to and will get worse with each pregnancy – hence why I have had a lot of bleeding and cramping in the past after giving birth – thankful to know this now). I went into surgery almost immediately when I arrived there for a D and C. They were concerned with my blood count. I lost 1,000 cc of blood, and ended up having a blood transfusion (2 bags of blood) on Sunday night.
So thankful that Ruben and Liam were able to stay the night at the hospital with me. Now I am on the road to recovery, and honestly feeling so good. I need to watch my lifting and make sure that I take it easy these next few weeks. I am so thankful for my church family and the love and support that they have shown me and my family during this time, my parents for taking my girls for me so that I can get the rest that I need to start feeling better soon, and my husband for being there for me through it all. He has been such a help to me and I am so, so blessed to have him.
Ruben and I were talking about this whole situation the other night. The Lord puts us through trials like this just to show us how good we really got it. We are so blessed! You don't realize how good you really have something until it is almost taken away from you. This was one of the scariest days of my life, and I did think at one point that this was it… I am not going to make it. BUT I am thankful. Beyond thankful that the Lord choose to spare my life that day.
And I am ever so grateful for our newest addition to the Rabbitsauce family. He is such a gift and blessing to me and I can't thank the Lord enough for the healthy little boy He has given to us.

The Funniest Creature Championships - Mashup Creature Bracket
Which one do you find funnier? Today, we're talking about mashup creatures. As you know, I love making mashups. The Tooth Fairy is funny. Posh Spice is funny. Toothy Spice is HILARIOUS. So here are two mashups that I find particularly amusing.
CREATURE 1: Frankenthulhu
Here's how I look at it--Dr. Frankenstein was a real dillweed. You can bet if he saw a grave that said, "Here, Great Cthulhu lies dreaming. DO NOT DISTURB UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE A MIDNIGHT SNACK," he'd dig up that grave and take Cthulhu's head. And then you'd end up with this:
CREATURE 2: Merpire
Why are merpires funny?
- They smell like fish sticks.
- When you're sleeping, they drag their baby pools into your room and slosh around.
- A hot date to a merpire = wrapping you up in saran wrap and sloshing around in the baby pool TOGETHER.
- Instead of sparkling, they glow in the dark.
- Two words: merpire beefcake.
So, which one do you think is more amusing?

i gotta vote for the merpire because the thought of it dragging its baby pool into my room at night is not creepy but silly.
and plus, i like a guy who's not self-conscious about his stench.

Merpire... I think the other picture freaked me out a little too much but the Merpire... is kind of hot.
Just sayin, I mean hanging out of that baby pool. What's hotter than that? AND Glow in the dark, I mean seriously did you even need to ask us?

Gotta go with the merpire and the saran wrap. At least he knows better than to bite down on aluminum foil. Plus, he would make a great nightlight.

I never was much of a fan of Frankie so merpie it is.

Frankenthulhu wins my vote! How can you resist that cute face AND he squeaks! :)

Mon Wharf closed for parking FridayJanuary 31, 2013 4:45 PM
Share with others:
The Monongahela Wharf will be closed for parking again on Friday, and the National Weather Service says rivers may rise enough to flood the 10th Street Bypass.
In a flood advisory issued today, it said the Ohio River was expected to crest at 22.8 feet Friday afternoon before falling back below 18 feet -- the level at which the wharf floods -- on Saturday night. The bypass begins to take on water when the river reaches 22 feet, which may occur tonight, the weather service said.
It also issued a flood warning for the Monongahela River at Elizabeth and Charleroi and the Cheat River at Rowlesburg, W.Va.mobilehome - neigh_city - breaking

After Ontario County placed its 98-bed nursing home on the market in March, the deadline for bids to be submitted was Friday.
After Ontario County placed its 98-bed nursing home on the market in March, the deadline for bids to be submitted was Friday.
The county hired brokerage firm Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services in December to market the sale of the Ontario County Health Facility in Hopewell.
County Administrator John Garvey did not confirm, as of press time, if bids had been submitted.
If bids were received, he said, they would then be screened by the brokerage firm, and a subcommittee of the county's health and medical services committee would likely be formed to review them before bringing a recommendation to the full Board of Supervisors. If the county accepts a bid, he said, the buyer would then apply for a license from the state, a process that could take between nine and 18 months.
The bid deadline came a day after the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution to declare the facility, as well as the approximately seven acres of land it is situated on, as surplus. The resolution at Thursday's meeting was approved by a weighted vote of 3,771 in favor of the resolution to 377 against, with 348 absent. Canandaigua City Supervisor David Baker and Geneva City Supervisor Donald Ninestine both opposed the resolution.
The resolution, which was laid over at the previous meeting March 28 by Geneva City Supervisor Charles Evangelista, states that the board must determine that the property is no longer necessary for public use prior to any possible transfer to the private sector.
Flo Tripi, western region president of the Civil Service Employees Association, called the county's pursuit of selling the facility "wrong, cold and heartless."
"How can you declare the home of no public use?" she asked. "What happens to the residents?"
The county is requiring that potential buyers operate the facility as a skilled nursing facility for 10 years after purchase. Potential buyers would also be required to follow the same federal and state standards for care that the county follows, give preference in admission to Ontario County residents and retain current union employees following interviews, background checks and any other such testing.
"I understand that it's not an easy decision," said Baker. "At the end of the day, we're dealing with people's lives. ... Once we move tonight, we start going down a slippery slope."
East Bloomfield Supervisor Dorothy Huber said the future of the health facility has been discussed since the 1980s.
"It is a dollars and cents issue," she said. "We can't afford to make it up."
She added, "in order to continue to serve that segment of the population ... I feel very strongly that we need to take that step."
The resolution states that the cost of operating the facility annually exceeds Medicaid, Medicare and private payer reimbursement by $3 million to $4 million dollars, a burden that is placed on the taxpayers of Ontario County. According to the notice of request for bids for the facility, the minimum acceptable purchase price is $2 million.
Page 2 of 2 - Margaret Hilton, Hopewell supervisor and chair of the health and medical services committee, said that if the county were to sell the health facility, that would allow additional funding to be put toward other types of services for the elderly.
Garvey said there are 17,000 people in Ontario County who are over the age of 60. Six-thousand of them receive services from the Office for the Aging, he said. He added that of those 6,000 people, 20 percent of them are also caregivers for another person.
Garvey said that 340 people are currently receiving home-delivered meals through the county, and there is a waiting list of 160 people, mainly from Canandaigua, Victor, Farmington and Geneva. The county, he said, would also like to enhance its fleet of vehicles used to deliver meals.
"There are a lot of things we can't do because we spend so much resources on the health facility," Garvey said. "(Selling the facility) would allow the county to free resources for the Office for the Aging."

Iron Maiden Guitarist No Fosse Fan
So yeah, Maiden axeman Janick Gers (I mean, thankfully there's a Ja at the front of his name, or other wise, it'd sound like a racial slur) spoke with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about a bunch of stuff, including the band's current tour and the future of Maiden.
"It's been fun, and as long as we enjoy it and it feels valid and the fans are still coming and we have great concerts, I'd like to carry on," says Gers. "And the minute I don't enjoy it and we don't deliver, I wouldn't want to carry on as a parody act doing a cabaret show. We're kind of intransigent. We never change. We know what we want. And it's in the music. We're never going to do a pop song, for instance. We're never going to do a song to try and get on the charts. We're just going to do what we think is right, and we did that through the '90s when grunge was popular and people wouldn't listen to rock anymore, and there were stations out there saying, 'We're not going to play any more rock 'n' roll.' We just kept on touring and stuck to our guns, and that's one of the reasons I think we're still around."
And what did Gers have to say about the new disc, The Final Frontier?
"We're in a progressive stage with the band now. We're taking it to extremes. The new album, I'm really proud of it, 'cause the one song we released isn't indicative of the rest of the album — there's so many different feels and ways of playing on the album. We go through some different attitudes and take you to different places. There's a lot of long thematic tunes on this album. And some very varied music."

I am a complainant under PNDT act which bans sex determination under pregnancy. Every government official has tried to harass me into withdrawing my complaints.
• In crime against women cell? during mediation –
Filling a complaint against your in-laws or trying to go to the courts will be harassment for you only. It is like walking along the beach with sand in hand. You will continue to feel everything is in your hands, and will never even realize when your hands become empty. So do a settlement and go back to your husband.
They are ready to give you a flat and 45 lakhs in each daughters name if you give him a mutual divorce. Forget all this- no one has got anything by going to courts, laws are written in books only. Forget it, take the money and be happy.
• During mediation in courts? so what if you and your daughters get killed, your parents can use the law then. Try to save your marriage, go and live with your husband.
• In the office of C.D.M.O (where my complaint under P.N.D.T act was pending? so what if your husband wants a son, give him one. This is not a reason to destroy your own life and your daughter's life. You young people take steps in the enthusiasm of youth and repent all your life. This is such a big hospital, if we seal the ultrasound machine, and some casualty occurs, you will be responsible for it. So better forget this P.N.D.T. complaint and re-unite with your husband and give him a son.
• A.C.P. Tilaknagar? My own brother was assaulted by goons, I Never filed a complaint. Going to police / courts will give you nothing except harassment. Dr. I can give you guarantee, even if you die, you will not get any justice.
• A lady leader of B.J.P? You forget about the courts. If you are interested in doing something for the girl child, open a N.G.O. in all of our lives, there comes a moment which changes the path of our life. Perhaps your marriage was such a moment. Take it as that, forget about it, open a N.G.O and live peacefully with your husband.
• A senior official from N.C.W. – your daughters are alive. Forget about the P.N.D.T complaint. Do not dig graves of old matters. You will suffer. File a complaint under domestic violence act and withdraw your complaint under P.N.D.T act.
• Different Judges?
o If you want to save your daughters from harassment, withdraw your cases and do a settlement with your husband. Otherwise I will see to it that you have to bring your daughters to the court on every hearing.
o Laws are meant only for books and lectures. Do not think you will get anything from the courts.
o Tell your price ? what you will take to withdraw your cases.
o You are enemy of your daughters; you are destroying their life only because of your ego….
if this is how a educated woman trying to move out of a abusive marriage, and trying to save her daughters is treated, what will happen to the millions of poor uneducated females
Oh Lord!
I think I hear singing.
Can it be? Is that... Barbra?
Yes yes yes, it's DEFINITELY Barbra!
And... she wants us to join in!
All together now:
People,..... people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We're children..... needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers are very special people
They're the luckiest people in the world
With one person,..... one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you WERE half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people

Which is why it should be no surprise that I found one of the hottest cheerleaders around all the way out at the University of Utah. Now, we've highlighted the Utah cheerleaders before. Hell, we've even directed you to a blog that is dedicated to nothing but the Utah cheerleaders. But we've never spent this kind of time on a single Utes' cheerleader. And that's simply because we didn't find Megan until just recently.
I think you will agree with me that Megan most definitely deserves a little special attention. Sure her team might be having a hard time adjusting to life in a BCS conference, but that doesn't make Megan any less deserving of a spot in the conversation about the hottest cheerleaders in the Pac 12.So watch out Oregon cheerleaders, we've got a new player in town!

A coalition of right-leaning education reformers have recently and sharply broken with the growing federal influence Republicans and Democrats have broadly supported in recent decades. This edusphere tussle connects education to the wider debate Americans (evinced most loudly by Tea Party supporters) have rejoined on the scope and centralization of government power and how it shapes American identity. The debate over "Common Core" standards recently spattered across education blogs like so many paintballs on a crowded field, yesterday evoking a response from Education Secretary Arne Duncan. The Common Core State Standards are a list of skills and ideas students at every grade level must encounter in states adopting them. They essentially outline the scope, main topics, and learning goals for each grade in language arts, math, history, science, and "technical subjects." "We have not and will not prescribe a national curriculum. I want to repeat that," he said, a statement which provoked laughter from the audience at a forum hosted by the National Center on Education and the Economy.
The federal government has very little statutory or Constitutional authority over K-12 education. So, as with highway speed limits, Congress and the executive branch have taken to carrots and sticks shaped like money bags to bribe states into doing the feds' bidding. No Child Left Behind, shepherded through by President George W. Bush and Senator Ted Kennedy, is just one of the latest examples of the far-reaching education laws passed by Congress going back to 1965 when increased federal attention to education became part of LBJ's War on Poverty. While No Child Left Behind, as well as President Obama's Race to the Top funds in the federal stimulus package, have greatly expanded federal education dollars -- they've also greatly expanded the number of hoops scholls must go through to get those funds. The same possibilities for centralization exist withing the now-voluntary "Common Core" standards 43 states and Washington, D.C. have adapted. But, as the Obama administration and private financiers like the Gates Foundation seek to tie these standards also to federal dollars, oversight, and national curriculum development, the nation's antifederalist education reformers reared back, publishing an "antimanifesto" strongly condemning the movement. Until now, education reform has served as a wide label for conservatives and liberals, few of whom can close their eyes to a tripling of federal education spending with no improved test scores, union monstrosities like rubber rooms, and general national stagnation. Nearly any change in recent decades has equaled "education reform." Now, this coalition is forcing legislators, wonks, educators, and citizens to rethink not just policy--like vouchers, charters, collective bargaining curbs--but principles: can one curriculum and standards really fit each teacher, student, class, and family in the country? Do the federal government and its lackeys offer more collective wisdom than states, districts, and families? Or do the last 40 years of centralizing policy to little effect but trillions spent indicate, perhaps, we should turn around?

Use some modeling clay to make a mold around the screen on top of the dash. Once you have the mold the way you want you can make a fiberglass pod for your screen to mount in.
So I have had my pc up and running for about 3 months now in my Land Rover. As you can see in the pics below, I have had the screen kind of stuck on this piece of wood on top of the dash, taking the easy way out, since I also didn't want to make any modifications to the factory face plate.
Well, I am getting frustrated with the sloppy install, so I am looking for tips on how to get this thing fabricated into the dash. I happened upon a face plate froma a junkyard, so what the hell. I think I have a pretty good idea on how to use the "kitty hair", but I don't know where to put the screen.
Could you guys take a look at these pics, and throw me some suggestions on where I might put the screen? I don't have much room, as you can see. My thought was to maybe relocate the head unit to below the ac controls, and then maybe build up the top of the dash unit with a housing or something, but that requires a lot more fabrication than I think I am ready for.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Tell me to give up?
Use some modeling clay to make a mold around the screen on top of the dash. Once you have the mold the way you want you can make a fiberglass pod for your screen to mount in.
1.6GHz HP e-PC, 768MB RAM, 120GB WD HDD, Slim DVD-ROM, Onboard sound & video, 7" Lilliput, USB GPS Mouse, Audiovox FM Modulator, Vector 400 Watt Power Inverter, Windows XP Pro SP2, iGuidance 2, 15" Samsung LCD for the rear *Carputer not installed*
I would move the AC controls down to the spot in front of the 4WD shifter and put the LCD in their place.
That would be cool srcstc - but since that is totally separate from the rest of the trim, that seems like a lot of work. What would you recommend on building it in - cut out that part of the dash, and then use wood and fiberglass/bondo together?
It will take some work and you should probably look for a qualified shop to do it. You need to fabricate a pod to mount the AC module (assuming it can be moved) and then make room for lcd.
Land Rovers are cool. I have no tips on the fabrication, but having access to the plentiful supply of old defender 90's and 110's would be a reason to move back to the UK. They are very rare here.

But where's the fun in that? No way I'm paying someone at this point - I've come this far. :-)
I'm sure there are plenty out there, anyone have any screen molding installs (with maybe even AC relocation) they want to share with me?
Yup if there are no mechanical cables involved. Send me the pieces I'll do it cheap.Originally Posted by srcstc
I've got an idea - reloacate the HU and make your Lilliput the center of the dash. Purchase the in-dash mount from digitalww.com for $100.00. Mount your Lilliput in the in-dash mount and place it where your HU is currently located.
Using this thread as a reference, detach and relocate the faceplate & the rest of the Clarion HU to different locations in the car. A pic I saw with a setup like this had the faceplate in the top left corner of the windshield. I guess the Cat5 wiring was run down the a-pillars until it reached the rest of the HU. It seems like you would need some good soldering ability to get this done right but it may be the cleanest way to do all this without ripping apart your dashboard.
The plus side to all of this is that your Lilliput will remain nicely concealed when you park the car.
So I mounted the screen, I got creative.
I dremeled out a part of the bottom shelf just above the cup holders, and mounted a cabinet hinge (self closing) to it. Then I attached it to the back of the lilliput with an L-bracket. So now, the monitor is positioned dead in front of the AC controls, out about an inch and facing upwards. Then if I want to adjust ac controls, I can just push it downwards (imagine opening a cabinet), and it will pull itself back into place when I am done. It is PERFECT in terms of arm's reach, but I do have to take my eyes a little bit more off the road. Who wouldn't sacrifice safety for comfort?
I'll post pics later tonight - thanks all for the help.

Good food for thought here. Can't wait to execute!
As the year comes to a close, it's hard to not take a look back at what we've accomplished, individually and collectively, in the past twelve months. The internet and online communities are a constantly changing source of inspiration: Occupy Wall Street caused a 217% increase in mobile sharing; GigaOM recently published an article on how eReaders and self-publishing are changing the landscape of journalism; and WordPress even covered some of the top news stories that were written up by the amazing bloggers on WordPress.com.
As the writing, social media, and blogging landscape changes, I'm sure your methods and goals for blogging have changed as well. The Daily Post started with the idea of helping bloggers to post daily or weekly and get past any hurdles that may prevent you from hitting "Publish."
When you do something once a day, or once a week, your skills improve dramatically. I recently came across this Kickstarter project from a fellow who started making an illustration a day and is now on his 1000th drawing. What new skills have you developed as a Daily Post participant?
Next year, inviting contributors to post on your blog or conducting an interview with a fellow blogger, local entrepreneur, or even a friend with a neat project is a great way to bring new audiences to your blog. You may also consider publishing some of your blog posts as a book. (Don't forget, you're in great company!) There's lots of new themes available in our Theme Showcase, how about a fresh look for you blog to get you excited for the new year?
Another fun way to take a look at your growth this year is to post a recap. There are plenty of articles on the end of the year blog posts. Some of my favorites are writing about your best posts of 2011, which posts you feel didn't get enough appreciation, and what you learned in the past year.
I'd love to hear in the comments what might have prevented you from blogging as often as you could have or any tips you're looking forward to learning for next year. That's what we're here to help with!
I took the challenge and then started school full-time, which hindered my regular postings. I noticed that when I posted regularly my readership increased, and when I dropped off I'd have to start winning back those readers all over again. I want to try again this year…is there another challenge in the wind?
And, what really impressed me was the daily reminders I received from WordPress – always thought provoking. A feat in and of itself!
I didn't blog once a day or even once a week. I found I was distracted by trying to write in multiple places, and actually wound up not writing as much as I had hoped. I also became rather distracted with life;perhaps, even a little overwhelmed. Sometimes writing is cathartic for me; at other times, writing exposes the mirrors I am reluctant to look at. I am hopeful the next year will be more fruitful — in terms of writing and in terms of looking at the things that make me nervous, uncertain, and scared. I am also hopeful that I will grow as a person and writer. I am definitely going to take up the challenge again in 2012. I think it's important, and your post reminded me that 1)sometimes and perhaps often nearly always it is the journey that teaches us the most, and 2) successful failures teach me to continue pursuing dreams and creating my reality.
I found a platform where one could everyday without fail able to express it's feelings and thought—— though I joined late but no regrets after getting the positive response, will try my best to pour my feelings through the tool of words. Thanks for sharing your blog with us where we are able to globaly interconnected. Do carry on with "Daily Post".
I take a small exception to your statement that frequency will improve a person's posts. In my mind that is the equivalent of saying "Practice Makes Perfect"! That is a major fallacy. What if all you do is practice imperfectly? Perfect practice make Perfect is how the saying should be stated. I am not a journalist – only a wannabe – somebody – but since people cannot see our facial expressions, body language and other communication cues we give off, we must stridently seek to say exactly what we mean or more confusion will be the result.
That is one reason I've held off blogging. If I am not clear enough (and my feedback from my boss indicates that is the case) I am better keeping my mouth shut – or fingers tied if it will keep me from perpetrating more garbage on the public is well worth the price of my silence.
I did'nt blog as often as i would have loved this year and i think the reason was because i'm still learning how to blog,i only created my blog two weeks ago and i can assure you that next-year i'll be used to it.
Dear Erica V,
Thanks for the info, Are you blogging for your home-based, small, or solopreneur business? Blogging consistently is an excellent way to generate traffic to your small business website, build your ezine or mailing list, position yourself as an expert, and serve your target market by providing them with consistently helpful content.
Keep up the posts!

How to run PHP cron tasks without cron available
In most cases hosting panels has CRON jobs available, so using cron is not an issue. Just sometimes you do not want to bother with it because of many reasons like no cpanel password, makes your script installation process complicated, or even cron is simply not available at all.
In this case I found interesting technique how to overcome this.
The idea is simple and is borrowed from official documentation comments. In PHP it is possible to sent browser output and continue to execute other PHP code.
This means that on each page request, PHP generates full HTML, sends to the user and closes the connection. User is happy to view the page, however on the server PHP script may execute useful stuff.
Code looks like this:
ob_start(); // Generage HTML page here generate_full_html_page(); // All magic goes here $output = ob_get_clean(); ignore_user_abort(true); set_time_limit(0); header("Connection: close"); header("Content-Length: ".strlen($output)); header("Content-Encoding: none"); echo $output.str_repeat(' ', 10000) ."\n\n\n"; flush(); // Now page is sent and it safe to do all needed stuff here cron_task1(); cron_task2();
If you need to run CRON jobs continuously and not to depend on the user visits, you may initiate a SELF request to the same page using CURL after all tasks are done.
Based on this technique very easy to make a full CRON class which will handle all the dirty job, may be in future )
You can also use a remote server cron job.
Is this really going to work? I mean what if the user navigates away from the page?
Don't we have to use the following as well?
ini_set('max_execution_time', 0);
Will definitely try your approach.
Scratch that I didn't notice you used them.
Thanks for the article.
If your hosting provider doesn't allow setting cronjobs, there are some services, that will allow cronjob up to each hour for free, like easycron.com

Tequila-Marinated Wings
These tender, juicy chicken wings are marinated in a pungent blend of tequila, fresh lime juice and garlic, then shallow fried, glazed and served with our Tangy Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce (recipe included).
Tequila-Marinated Wings
- Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 lbs chicken wings,
- 1/3 cup tequila
- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or agave nectar)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon jalapeno pepper sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
- Vegetable oil
- Tangy Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce (see recipe below)
Trim the wing tips and discard, then separate the wings into two pieces, cutting through the joint. Combine the tequila and lime juice in a glass measure. Add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Whisk in the olive oil, jalapeno pepper sauce and garlic. Place the chicken wings in a shallow dish or heavy zip-top bag and cover with the marinade. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours, turning once.
Heat about 1/8-inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the wings and cook, turning frequently, until golden brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate, add a little more oil and repeat with the remaining wings. Wipe out the pan and add the leftover marinade. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened to a glaze consistency (for safety reasons, cook for a minimum of 5 minutes). Return the wings to the pan, turn to coat with glaze and serve.
Makes 18 to 20 pieces

network space for the eportfolios massive open online course
I have now been a part of two Google+ hangouts I must say I am loving them! The atmosphere is so different and definitely a great way to connect with others which of course is the general idea of hangouts. It really has the feel of sitting in a circle and chatting with people, all on an equal seating. This of course could be the weakness of hangouts, however we have had very little trouble with this form of communication - though the idea of raising hands has come up a couple of times :)
The only real issue that we have found so far is trying to play YouTube videos as you can see from the picture above. The video doesn't seem to run at the same time for everybody and causes some issues especially for those who couldn't even see it. Hopefully this feature gets better as it is one of the features I think would be very useful if we find any good YouTube videos to share.
I am not sure that I would use it with students though maybe it would work well as a tutorial session similar to what I experience at university and throughly enjoyed (at least more than the lectures).
I was also happy to find an effective way to record the session using Screencast-o-matic. I ended up buying a pro account for $12 a year (really, that is all) which allows me to record for over an hour instead of 15 minutes segments. To upload to the Screencast-o-matic servers though it must only be 15 minutes in length so I decided to use Vimeo to host the videos and then embed them into the MOOC. This seems to work well so I will continue to do it this way for the Google+ hangouts. You can see the result for the second hangout here.
A big thank you to those who have joined in on the Google+ hangout experiments and have explored the possibilities of this new tool and added to some really insightful conversations.
Looking forward to the next one!

"Between the Rows," is Barnett's first fiction novel.
"It's more of a crime novel, but my sister calls it a 'love story with a twist of marijuana.' The characters are fictional, but the backbone of the story is all true," said Barnett. "The book takes place after a war vet David Wayne Russell makes his way back home to Kentucky after he leaves Vietnam and finds himself in a risky proposition."
As part of Barnett's inspiration to write her novel, she took what she knew about the "Cornbread Mafia" and applied the facts to her fictional characters.
"My family didn't have any part in pot farming," said Barnett. "However, we grew up close to it. Families were hurt by bad decisions, but it didn't mean they were bad people. In fact, they were actually non-violent people, who got caught up in a bad situation."
Barnett said growing up during that time, there was more stigma on marijuana than there is today.
"I took what I knew about what happened and wrote about it," said Barnett. "It only took me 30 years to write it."
When war vet David Wayne Russell was on his way home from Vietnam, he knew his fiancé, Libby, had pretty much mapped out their future together. But before he got home, he made a stop in California to visit with an old Army buddy, Doug Campbell.
Doug presented David with a risky proportion of using his Kentucky farm to harvest marijuana and get rich while doing it. David ignored the idea and headed home, where Libby begins to push him to be something he doesn't want to be.
David begins to feel that he has no other choice but to marry Libby and live out the life her and her judge father want him to. However, when the judge remarries and his attractive step-daughter begins to complicate things. Libby wants David to buy out her father's farm instead of waiting for her inheritance.
Suddenly, in need for big money, David begins to rethink Doug's suggestion and makes the decision that will lead him down a different and much darker road.
"When I started writing the book, I let my family and friends read it and they loved it," said Barnett. "Now, it's been published, all of a sudden its really exploding. I've never written anything in my life other than a letter. But, I can write a really good letter."
Barnett said she made a name change to help inspire interest from multiple generations.
"My real name is Phyllis Ann," said Barnett. "But, I dropped the name Phyllis because I wanted to reach a younger crowd, and Phyllis just sounds old."
"Between the Rows" is a compelling tale of one man's struggle to keep a secret as he faces the consequences of one fateful choice.
"The book is short and reads easy," said Barnett. "The characters are very believable and there are a lot of bad words… I had to make it realistic."
You can purchase "Between the Rows," at www.amazon.com or http://www.barnesandnoble.com/.For more information about Ann Barnett and her book, visit http://annbarnettbooks.wordpress.com/2014/03/26/welcome/.

November 29, 2015
Some liberal groups are concerned that the man chosen to be the next attorney general might abuse civil rights in the name of fighting terror.
The head of a group called the Alliance for Justice says Alberto Gonzales has told the administration to ignore the rule of law. And the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union wants the Senate to take a close look at the role Gonzales has played in the war on terror and in putting together the Patriot Act.
Gonzales once wrote that parts of the Geneva Convention didn't apply to al-Qaida or to the war in Afghanistan. He's also defended the policy of detaining terrorism suspects for lengthy periods without access to lawyers or the courts. The Supreme Court has essentially rejected that policy.
President Bush Wednesday nominated Gonzales to succeed John Ashcroft, who announced Tuesday that he's leaving. Bush praised Gonzales, his White House counsel, for "sharp intellect and sound judgment."

Michael J. Heller Elected to Fox Chase Cancer Center's Board of Directors
PHILADELPHIA (September 14, 2010) – Fox Chase Cancer Center's Board of Directors has elected corporate finance lawyer Michael J. Heller to a three-year term of membership. He will also serve on the institutional advancement committee of the board, where his background in finance will be utilized to help Fox Chase develop key fundraising strategies.
"Fox Chase is one of the most well-respected healthcare facilities in the country and I am honored to join the talented individuals who sit on its board of directors," says Heller.
Since 1994, Heller has been with the law firm Cozen O'Connor, where he currently heads the emerging business and venture capital practice and serves as chair of the business law department. His practice is devoted to representing and counseling entrepreneurs and emerging growth companies in all industries during all stages of business formation and development. He was named a Pennsylvania "Super Lawyer" by Law & Politics.
An authority on venture capital and entrepreneurism, Heller speaks frequently on those and related subjects in the Mid-Atlantic region and is often quoted in local, regional, and national publications.
"Despite today's challenging economy, Fox Chase remains one of the top cancer centers in the country and is dedicated to developing new programs and initiatives that will make it an even stronger cancer center in the future," Heller says. "I anticipate that my legal expertise and background in corporate finance will be useful in working towards this goal."
In addition to his new appointment to the Fox Chase board, Heller is also a member of the board of directors for the Greater Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technologies, Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania, and the Entrepreneurs' Forum of Philadelphia, Inc.
Prior to joining Cozen O'Connor, Heller practiced at the law firm Wolf, Block, Schorr and Solis-Cohen. He earned his law degree from Villanova University and his undergraduate degree from Pennsylvania State University.
The Board of Directors, a group of individuals with broad expertise and diverse professional backgrounds, provides advice and counsel to Center leadership to help ensure that Fox Chase's legacy of excellence continues.
Fox Chase Cancer Center, part of the Temple University Health System, is one of the leading cancer research and treatment centers in the United States. Founded in 1904 in Philadelphia as one of the nation's first cancer hospitals, Fox Chase was also among the first institutions to be designated a National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center in 1974. Fox Chase researchers have won the highest awards in their fields, including two Nobel Prizes. Fox Chase physicians are also routinely recognized in national rankings, and the Center's nursing program has received the Magnet recognition for excellence four consecutive times. Today, Fox Chase conducts a broad array of nationally competitive basic, translational, and clinical research, with special programs in cancer prevention, detection, survivorship, and community outreach.

In a previous post, I gave some (very) general requirements for how to setup / install an MPI installation.
This is post #2 in the series: now that you've got a shiny new computational cluster, and you've got one or more MPI implementations installed, I'll talk about how to build, compile, and link applications that use MPI.
To be clear: MPI implementations are middleware — they do not do anything remarkable by themselves. MPI implementations are generally only useful when you have an application that uses the MPI middleware to do something interesting.
