Walk the aisles in Lakeland, Florida, or Oshkosh, read the pages of this magazine, or hang around the FBO long enough and it'll become abundantly clear that avionics lead the general aviation development derby. More is happening in airborne electronics than in all the other facets of the airplane put together. (There are some powerplant developments lurking, but they're made possible by, that's right…electronics.) It's been this way for a couple of decades, of course, but the pace is definitely quickening.
At the head of this electronics arrow is the large-scale moving map or multifunction display. As the liquid-crystal screen moves into prominence in everything from public telephones to medical equipment, the cost associated with this technology, particularly the color version, has dropped dramatically. Just a few years ago, it would have been prohibitively expensive to fit a 6-inch diagonal screen into the cockpit; these days, it's practically the minimum requirement.
Modern airplanes are rapidly moving away from steam gauges. As a package, we envisioned that the Millennium Mooney would take advantage of all the newest display technologies, not just for navigation but for engine and systems monitoring as well.
So in addition to a full stack of UPS Aviation Technologies' (UPSAT) radios—headed by the MX20 multifunction display—we elected to install the Vision Microsystems VM1000 engine package, which was recently awarded a technical standard order (TSO) approval as a primary instrument set. We installed the VM1000 using supplemental type certificate (STC) approval graciously provided by Mooney modifiers Mod Works.
Once Top Gun Aviation in Stockton, California, was finished sprucing up the Mooney's airframe, it was spirited up to Aurora, Oregon, to Pacific Coast Avionics. A thriving mail-order outfit, PCA has developed its installation facilities into a similarly thriving concern. PCA's proximity to UPSAT helped to seal the deal. Learning—albeit slowly and inconsistently—from previous avionics adventures, we didn't want to be both early adopters and long-distance troubleshooters at the same time. If the PCA staff had questions about the big-screen TV going into the Mooney, a 15-minute flight would provide some useful face-to-face.
PCA began the project by removing the old avionics and instrument panel. Because this was a fairly late-model airplane, there wasn't much to be done behind the panel to prepare for the new gear. In some of our other projects, the remedial rewiring and general cleanup took a considerable amount of time. If you're starting an avionics revamp on an older airplane, plan for some labor and parts to cover various fixes. This is money well spent. Invariably, the items we have chosen not to fix or replace in the midst of a major avionics job are the ones that fail or create other problems down the road. Start with a good foundation and you'll be miles ahead.
Under the guidance of project leader Ken Carpenter, the PCA crew cut a new instrument panel from 0.090-inch aluminum for both the center section and the right-hand subpanel. Because we wanted to keep the entire UPSAT stack on the left of the two avionics racks, we had to manipulate the remaining instruments and find clever homes for some of them.
For example, the VM1000 engine-monitoring system combines all the standard engine gauges into one package that we knew would go in the right-hand radio rack. That meant the strip gauges in front of the pilot could be removed. Originally, we planned to slice the standard fuel-quantity gauges from the strip and remount them elsewhere. Two problems with that. One, the strip gauges are one piece behind the panel in the 1987 Mooney. (Later models used modular gauges.) Two, the Mod Works STC for the VM1000 system calls for using VMI's capacitance gauges. We didn't have the option of complying with just part of the STC; it's all or nothing where the feds are concerned.
So we opted for the VMI capacitance gauges, which were mounted to the left of the primary instruments. It's a good thing to know how much fuel you've got, and a better thing to have that information right under your nose. These gauges are calibrated in the airplane by trial and error; the results of multiple tests are sent to VMI, which then burns a calibration chip for installation in the central processor.
With the panel reshuffling, the standard Mooney annunciator panel moved from the top of the radio stack to directly in front of the pilot. Next to that is the annunciator panel/switch box for the GX60 IFR-approved GPS. Normally, this generation of 201 has a five-by-two main-panel layout. PCA scooted the main instruments over to the right very slightly, leaving a four-by-two arrangement and room for the 2.25-inch fuel gauges and outside-air temperature gauge to the left of the airspeed indicator and turn coordinator.
Few other hitches have slowed the Mooney program. We've opted for a new Century autopilot called the Triden, which combines the computer and display unit into a 3-inch-square box; most other Century autopilots are designed with radio stack-width computer/display modules. The packaging was ideal. We were fast running out of radio rack space but had an open 3-inch hole in the main panel. Unfortunately, the preapproval status of the autopilot meant that, despite its using the same servos and basic computer as the Century 2000, we couldn't so much as install the servos. Nor could we activate the electric pitch trim that's part of the system. We did manage to lay in the main wiring loom for the autopilot and mount the servo brackets. Century expects certification in the third quarter of the year.
Otherwise, the installation was remarkably straightforward. PCA's guys had the most difficulty installing the capacitance fuel probes because you have to unseal several inspection panels in the Mooney's integral fuel tanks. That becomes a tremendous amount of effort, with the ever-present chance that you'll have to reseal something after the fact. Indeed, one of the fuel probe covers—the old probes come out, and the new ones mount in a different location—began to leak on the morning the airplane was due to leave for the Sun 'n Fun EAA Fly-In in Florida.
With the Millennium Mooney, we decided to jump on the large-screen bandwagon in a big way. So at the heart of our avionics retrofit is the UPSAT MX20 multifunction display. We used the version without an internal GPS receiver; in any event, the built-in receiver is just for backup and can't be used for primary navigation.
The MX20's resolution is 640 5 480 pixels with more than 65,000 colors. It's truly a multipurpose player, maintaining in its database a collection of sectional-style VFR charts and IFR en route maps. The MX20 can also display information from a remote lightning detection device—although we've installed an Insight Strikefinder, for reasons we'll explain later—and traffic information from a TCAS sensor. It's a versatile and easily read display that is a massive step up from the previous generation of simple moving maps.
As mentioned, the MX20 is a "dumb" box, taking position and datalink information from other boxes and displaying the information to the pilot. The GX60 provides the basic position information and flight-plan data. The MX20 will show all the flight-plan information on the big screen, including airport diagrams and other details, as well as the flight-plan or direct-to course line. Naturally, when you've selected a GPS or overlay approach, all the waypoints are depicted on the map, greatly improving situational awareness and simplifying the process of flying sometimes fussy GPS approaches. (There's nothing like seeing the missed-approach waypoint hanging out there in space to ease tensions on a low-minimums approach in true-blue IMC.) One thing the MX20 doesn't do is show the appropriate waypoints for an ILS or localizer approach.
You can fly with the MX20 in IFR or VFR modes, or with a customized map that's part sectional and part IFR helper. That's the one we used most on the Mooney's first cross-continent trip. In this mode, the map shows airspace and a sectional-like depiction of terrain height. It can also show airways with Victor or Jet identifications, minimum en route altitudes, leg distances, and navaid information. It's quite a lot to put on even a large screen, but the MX20 works it out most of the time. There are instances in which the screen becomes overly cluttered, but simplifying the picture is straightforward. We would, however, encourage UPSAT to discard some of the clever illustrations for things like NDBs and VORs—they are reproduced in the sectional idiom and become too large on the digital page. A simpler presentation would result in less clutter. While we're complaining, we'd also like to see UPSAT give the pilot access to flight plans and other navigational minutiae through the big screen.
Controlled flight into terrain, or CFIT, has become a darling among safety issues, and the MX20 deals with the possibility directly. In its memory is a terrain map that's compared to the airplane's current position and altitude. You will receive a warning if the airplane is within two minutes of terrain mapped to be at or above your altitude. You can also switch to a dedicated map and see the relationship of the surrounding terrain to your altitude.
As with all IFR installations, redundancy becomes a serious consideration. With the SL30 nav/com—a clever and easy-to-use VHF nav/com with a host of features—and the GX60 GPS/com, we have dual coms and dual navigation sources. We're impressed with the tidy SL70 transponder—it's functionally straightforward and full of useful features. Similarly, the PS Engineering-made SL15 audio panel, which will be traded for the model with a marker beacon receiver, is also top-notch; the four intercom positions are wired for stereo sound.
Frankly, the reliability of modern boxes leaves us less concerned with a nav failure than would have been true a couple of years ago. We think relying on just two independent boxes is a low-risk proposition. One benefit of the UPSAT theology in contrast to boxes that combine GPS with a VHF nav/com is that if there's an electronic brain hemorrhage, you can slip out the affected box and leave much of your dispatch capabilities in place. That said, we'd probably carry a battery-powered handheld in the airplane just for good measure and a touch of luck.
Some people might object to our putting all the engine-monitoring eggs into one basket with the VM1000 setup. But this product has been in experimental aircraft for nearly a decade with a good service history and plenty of incremental development. Central to the system is a large liquid-crystal display that presents manifold pressure and rpm in large analog and digital formats. Below those readouts are smaller "gauges" for fuel pressure, oil pressure, volts, fuel flow (with internal fuel computing), oil temperature, and amps. Next to those circular presentations are stacked bars for exhaust-gas and cylinder-head temperatures, with small digital displays of the actual temperatures below. You can manually switch through the cylinders and see what's what, or have the VM1000 constantly display the first-to-peak cylinder's EGT and the hottest CHT (often on a different cylinder). The VM1000 also has short-term data logging; it'll show the high and low values for all parameters for that flight. It resets itself for the next flight, however, so there's no long-term recording.
The VM1000 is connected to the EC100 annunciator panel. Normally, this item would be put under the pilot's nose, but we ran out of room, so it resides above the VM1000. It contains an advisory system that responds to exceedences noted by the VM1000 and notifies the pilot with a beep in the headphones and a single-line description of the problem. It also contains a checklist and the ability to mirror some of the data displayed by the main VM1000 panel.
So far, we're pleased with the VM1000. It's easy to read and the combination of analog and digital presentations is nearly ideal. One glance and you can tell instantly if all the readings are normal. Moreover, the VM1000 contains a function called autotrack that keeps close tabs on the various readings, and alerts you to small changes. This is better than waiting for the readings to go off the scale. As you'd expect, the VM1000 has integral lean-find functions and a fuel computer that gives fuel used, remaining, and time to empty as you fly along.
Beyond the big-screens—the MX20 and the VM1000—the Millennium Mooney's panel is pretty straightforward. Along with the upcoming Century autopilot, we have the company's MSD1000 electric HSI and pneumatic attitude indicator. We're trying one of Insight's new Strikefinders with a brighter display—so far so good. We elected to make the lightning-detection equipment separate from the main moving map for reasons of clarity. Last year, with the Cessna 206 Aero SUV and its electronic HSI, there were times when the lightning information was hard to pluck from the combined navigation information. This separation also means that if the main screen packs up en route, you'll still have a way of avoiding storms.
We're anticipating putting lots of time behind this panel and getting to use the new Century autopilot in the months ahead. It's an excellent, capable package that we're all anxious to learn.

When nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities were stolen from Apple's iCloud and leaked online, the online privacy debate went viral.
The incident also highlighted how popular the practice is: 54 percent of U.S. adults participate in sexting, according to a recent study from security software firm McAfee. Sending racy texts, nude photos or explicit videos is most common among the 18-24 age group, with 70 percent saying they've received such a message.
With the risks so obvious, why do people do it?
Basic human instincts, experts said.
Our desire to connect is primal, but our daily lives are often physically disconnected, said Dara Greenwood, an associate professor of psychology at Vassar who studies mass media's impact on our perceptions of ourselves. Combined with the capabilities of today's technology, the selfie seemed inevitable (the naked selfie is an even more loaded phenomenon, she said).
"We derive a sense of self and identity from being seen, both literally and figuratively, and valued, so there is additional motivation to broadcast the self via photograph," Greenwood said. "In some ways the ubiquity of this photo-taking and sharing option may be overdetermining the behaviors that follow. In some basic sense, we take selfies because we can."
Life and love consultant Emily Straubel agrees, and says that sexting can be a positive method of expressing sexuality in relationships -- as long as a quick discussion of ground rules is established first.
"The things driving it are basic human nature," she said. "It's not an exclusive phenomenon of the Millennial generation. Base human traits are the motivation."
And in the context of a relationship, it feels safe, she said.
"I think a lot of people feel that there's so much trust in a relationship, they don't feel like it's necessarily taking a risk, just being flirtatious," she said.
When we see celebrities doing it, we're even more apt to snap those revealing shots -- again following a "fundamentally human phenomena that predated all this modern technology," Greenwood said. "Some of the trend is spread by social modeling and a desire to fit in with the group," she said.
Some personality types are more likely to engage in photo-based social media trends, Greenwood and Straubel said. People who are compelled by the idea of fame are more likely to follow and interact with celebrities online -- but they "may also end up feeding the very anxieties that motivated them to begin with (Am I important? Am I good enough?)" Greenwood said.
When people become too accustomed to looking at themselves from the outside in, she said, they may wind up putting too much emphasis on sex appeal -- making themselves overly vulnerable to the responses of others. (This may be especially true of adolescent sexting, which comes with its own unique dynamics, according to recent research.)
Indeed, there's a fine line between suggestive and exhibitionist, Straubel said.
"A selfie is one thing, a sexy photo is another, but a completely nude selfie is indicating something else," she said.
In the end, the technology may well enable social connection and self-worth, but in some cases it may also end up alienating us, unintentionally preventing us from more authentic communication and more multi-dimensional ways of being who we are, Greenwood said.
Because the act is so rooted in human nature, though, experts believe the trend will continue.

DOE Loans to Make Nevada the "Saudi Arabia of Geothermal Energy"
Posted By Timon Singh On June 17, 2010 @ 12:59 pm In Environment,News,Policy,Renewable Energy | No Comments
Of all the 'mainstream' forms of renewable energy, it seems that geothermal power [1] is always left in the shadows compared to solar [2] and wind [3] power. However, that looks set to change with news that the US Department of Energy [4] will fund geothermal projects in northwestern Nevada and southeast Oregon. With funds from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act [5], the DOE has stated a "conditional commitment" to provide a partial guarantee for a rumoured $98.5 million loan to the Nevada Geothermal Power Company (NGP).
The Silver State-based company has developed the Faulkner 1 [6], a 49.5 MW geothermal power project at NGP's Blue Mountain site in northwestern Nevada. Currently, the project is planning two new injection wells to enhance the distribution of injected fluids and further augment the plant's power output. As such, the DOE is acting as loan guarantor for up to 80 percent of the $98.5 million loan to NGP for the scheme.
As part of the Obama administration's Recovery Act, alternative energy has seen a real increase in investment with projects such as the Cape Wind Farm [7] being finalized. Recent tragedies such as the Gulf of Mexico oil spill [8] have only solidified support for alternative energy.
Geothermal projects haven't dominated headlines like solar and wind projects have, but US Senator Harry Reid hopes to see that change. Speaking about the DOE's support, Senator Reid said, "I am glad to see economic recovery funding being used to put Nevadans to work on a project that will help us achieve energy independence" He went on to say, "Northern Nevada is the Saudi Arabia of geothermal energy."
Oregon will also see investment from the DOE, with the government department announcing an offer of a $102.2 million conditional commitment for a loan guarantee to US Geothermal, Inc [9]. to construct a 22 MW power plant. The project, if approved, could be the first commercial geothermal power plant in the state, with the electricity generated being sold to Idaho Power.
Whereas most geothermal power plants generally draw on underground reservoirs of hot water or steam to drive a turbine, which spins a generator to produce power, the Oregon project will use an improved technology to extract energy from geothermal hot water more efficiently and will use the heat extracted to increase the output of the power plant. With China rapidly becoming the world leader in alternative technologies [10], the US is really going to have to raise its game if it is to compete.

Our favorite little crowdsourcing T-Shirt company that could, Threadless, released a series of tees in celebration of Comic-Con! The series is called Threadless Comics-On Tees and features the work of some very talented artists including Jill Thompson, Cliff Chiang, Tony Moore and Art Baltazar.
What's especially cool about these 4 shirts are that they all follow a single storyline, which was written by Thompson. Is this first volume of many Threadless Comics-On Tees to come? The idea is great so I wouldn't mind seeing, reading and wearing future volumes!
The shirts are individually priced at $20 a piece but you can grab all 4 as part of the "Collector's Edition 4 Pack" which is priced at $70 (you save $10 by going this route).

How do I access the webmin management interface? (SOLVED)
Please pardon my nubiwness....
I looked through the docs, maybe not close enough? please point me to the corret doc/page?
is webmin part of the LAMP installation?
If so, how do I access it? I don't see anything in var/www
if not, how do I install it? is there a wget command or something to use?
Thanks for your help
Webmin is included in all appliances
Just point your browser to https://appliance_ip:10000 and log in with user 'root' (default password is blank).
If you have any other questions, just ask - thats what the forums are for.
it shouldn't matter...
Webmin is listening on port 10000 not 1000, so give this a try: https://10.9.214.96:10000
Is it possible that you are using the old version of lamp (which doesn't have the configuration console or webmin)? The latest version is turnkey-lamp-2008.10.17-hardy-x86.
There's your problem...
Note that our news release regarding the usability improvements is from October.
Yep, thats the problem

I signed the Turnkey service today and installed Magento on amazon ec2. The mysql password was generated but not the webmin! I can not access webmin. Neither the ssh terminal!
Please help me.
If you launched via the Hub
Then you would have been given the opportunity to set a root password (otherwise a random one would've been generated). The root password is what you use for logging into Webmin and SSH.
If you haven't got any data in there yet then I'd just destory your current instance and start a fresh one via the Hub. If you do have data, then you may be able to find the random password by looking through the console output (from when the EC2 instance was started). Another option (if you have data in) may be to do a backup via TKLBAM and restore that to a new instance.
Problem between IE and Webmin since 10-2012
After Microsoft's Patch IE will connect to Webmin 'server' running in SSL mode on the default port 10000 . It simply gives the typical error as if the host didn't even exist rather than nagging about the self-signed Cert like it used to do.
Thanks for this post.
I have lodged a bug report.
I just looked into this and I'm puzzled...
The default bit-length in the inithook [1] which regenerates the SSL certificate on firstboot is set to 1024. I tested regenerating the certificate as well as increasing the bit-length, and I don't see any keygen issues.
$ openssl s_client -showcerts -connect localhost:12321 |grep 1024 Server public key is 1024 bit
The OP mentioned connecting to webmin on port 10000, but that hasn't been the default webmin port for years. Was webmin installed directly from upstream and using the default cert?
Any more info that you can provide would be great. Can someone reproduce/confirm the issue?
[1] /usr/lib/inithooks/firstboot.d/15regen-sslcert
Perhaps I was being a little over-zealous that day?!?
Perhaps they had Webmin from somewhere else and just came across TKL in their travels and posted the issue?
Looks like maybe I jumped on it too quick (without asking enough questions...) I notice that I marked it as confirmed and normally wouldn't do that unless I either had come across a second report of the bug or could reproduce it myself, but I don't recall testing it...
My bad I think... Sorry!
No problem
I marked the bug report as invalid for now, and we'll re-open if new information is submitted.
Cant login
Cant login to mineos turnkey on 192.168.0.35(my ip)/admin
The username/password is invalid please help!
Webmin login
How will i login in webmin through my private key ....
Pls help me
AFAIK you need a password to use Webmin
Although I may be wrong...
Workarounds may be to manually set a root user password (which IIRC will mean that you can also login to your server with this same password - defeating the security advantages of using keys). Or I think that you can manually set (reset?) a Webmin user account apssword from the commandline. Although TBH I have never done it nor know how to... Hopefully google might turn up an answer for you...
webmin installation
can webmin be install on ubuntu desktop?
I don't see why not...
You could try using the TurnKey archive; although you're probably better off going for upstream...
Webmin Test
What's the default username and password webmin?

Men chase attacker through Downtown Sarasota
Ryan Mear couldn't ignore the noise.
"It sounded like someone was being murdered," Mear said. "We could tell someone was screaming for their life."
Sarasota Police Department says Mear and a friend heard a woman being attacked after she left a music festival and walked to her car.
Mear's friend chased the man while Mear headed down a different route.
"The suspect approached her and asked to use her cell phone," said Sarasota Police spokeswoman Genevieve Judge. "He told the victim that his sister was lost and he needed to get in touch with her."
After refusing and walking away, the suspect grabbed the women and dragged her into a dark alley near her work.
Mear eventually came face to face with the man when he caught up with him just a few blocks away.
"I said 'Hey what were you doing with that woman?'" Mear said.
The man responded by saying, "I don't know anything about any white women," Mear said.
The suspect fled through traffic and disappeared, but not before Mear got a close look at him.
"They said that we prevented a likely rape and a possible murder," said Mear, who says he was just doing what he felt was right. "This is not something that typically happens in Sarasota, but it's a small town and people need to watch where they're walking and beware of their surroundings."
Mear describes the suspect as a black man standing about 6 feet tall with short, braided hair. He says he must have been in his late 20s or early 30s.
If you have any information your asked to contact Sarasota Police Department at 941 -366-8000.

Although Antarctica, the coldest, driest, windiest, and, on average, highest and most isolated, continent on Earth, has a vast landmass, there are only two recognized ecoregions.
Antarctica covers almost one tenth of the Earth's terrestrial surface, or 13.9 million square kilometers. However, 98% of this area is covered by a permanent ice sheet, that contains 90% of the world's ice and almost 70% of the Earth's freshwater. The remaining two percent of land area, restricted primarily to the coastal fringes of the continent, is where the majority of Antarctica's limited terrestrial life exists.
Ice-free Antarctica can be roughly divided into two biogeographic regions: Marielandia (East), including the Antarctic Peninsula, and the continental coast, or Maudlandia (West).
The Transantarctic Mountains extend 3,200 km dividing the continent into East (Maudlandia) and West (Marielandia).

The "Out to Lunch" Defense
Karl Rove's story doesn't make sense.
Another of my former Time magazine colleagues has talked to special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald. This time it's Viveca Novak, with whom I worked on some stories about the Valerie Plame leak case. According to news reports, Karl Rove's lawyer Robert Luskin has told Fitzgerald that a conversation he had with Novak led his client, Rove, to change his testimony to the grand jury in the CIA leak case.
I'm not buying it.
Rove first testified before the grand jury in February 2004. In that first visit, he said nothing about talking to Time's Matt Cooper. He also didn't mention Cooper in an earlier interview with the FBI. Then, eight months later, in October 2004, Rove returned to the grand jury to alter his earlier account and volunteered that he had talked to Cooper.
According to several witnesses who have been interviewed by Fitzgerald and who have talked to me about their testimony, he appears to be suspicious about that change in Rove's narrative. The special counsel seems to think Rove remembered his conversation with Cooper all along but only testified about it when it became clear that Cooper was going to be forced to give up Rove as his source. If Fitzgerald thinks Rove willfully held back on him, it could be the basis for a perjury or obstruction of justice charge.
Rove's lawyer says there's an innocent explanation. He says it was Viveca Novak's suggestion that Rove might have been her colleague Cooper's source that sent Rove and his lawyer to re-examine Rove's records. In their search, they found an e-mail Rove had sent, shortly after speaking with Cooper, to Stephen Hadley, then deputy national security adviser, telling Hadley about the conversation. After finding the e-mail, Rove revised his account to the grand jury.
But this doesn't add up. For months before Luskin and Novak talked, the subject of whether Rove had spoken to reporters about Plame was the center of intense national fuss and grand jury scrutiny. Through all of that, Rove failed to remember his conversation with Cooper. Why would his lawyer's conversation with Viveca Novak kick the recollection free?
Rove is relying on the "what I had for lunch" defense. Who among us, Rove defenders have argued to me, hasn't had the experience on a busy day where we can't remember what we had for lunch, or whether we had lunch at all? Bush's top political adviser has a lot on his plate. Rove can't reasonably be expected to remember conversations that may have had no special relevance in his mind at the time they took place with a reporter he was talking to for the first time. Scooter Libby seems likely to rely on a version of this defense, too, though, unlike Rove, he has to prove he forgot about many discussions.
It's true. Karl Rove is a very busy man. He is never at rest even in his own office chair. He spins between multiple computers. His assistants know that in an instant he can be hovering over their shoulders making sure they have the formatting for a document just right. His portfolio seems to include everything but the thickness of the marzipan on the White House Christmas candies. Rove does have a reputation for extraordinary recall when it comes to political facts. But anyone as busy as he is might have forgotten a single conversation with a reporter.
But wouldn't a man who has such a busy life filled with so many distractions have been extra careful to examine his memory and his files when the question of who revealed the identity of Joe Wilson's wife started to become an issue? Lots of important people in Washington were asking, and some of them had subpoena power.
The first time Rove must have considered the question of whether he'd talked about Joe Wilson and his wife was on July 14, 2003, just three days after he spoke to Cooper. That's when a story appeared by Bob Novak (no relation to Viveca) revealing that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA. A source close to Rove confirmed to me the widely held speculation that Rove was one of Novak's sources. The story caused a stir because it was a tantalizing new detail in the ongoing White House effort to undermine Wilson's report. Inside the White House it created a little nervousness, because aides had been treating Plame's identity very gingerly. When Bob Novak's piece was printed, wouldn't Rove have wondered whether he'd created a bit of a problem for himself not just by talking to Novak, but by talking to Cooper as well?

Police were called to Memorial Drive and Easy Street in Greenville around 3:30 Friday morning. They said two cars were involved and that one of the vehicles turned on its side after the collison.
We spoke with victims on the scene who told us they flipped the car back over and pushed it into the McDonalds parking lot.
We know that one person was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
It's not clear what caused the wreck or if either driver will face charges.

text: A description of meditation from someone far more experienced than I. I can't imagine eleven hours a day of meditation, even if half of it was done walking. And as for discovering the "structure of [my] mind," forget it. All I've noticed is that I have a fairly narrow set of repetitive thoughts. I suppose noticing that counts as some kind of insight, but it's pretty superficial. I can only sit for about forty minutes in any case. For me, just being able to sit still for that long — regardless of what is or is not going on in my mind — represents something of an accomplishment.

A slightly drunk chat at 3am in the morning has awoken in me a desire to actually "have a go". It's not about creating a new game; I like the Fantasy World, and love the background, but the rules just no longer excite me more than "yeah, this shit's broken, lets abuse it".
Anyway, been putting down a few new ideas - starting with 2 of the very basics - Stats, and Game/Turn Sequence. As this is effectively, a total conversion, it's not got that much similar other than setting with the Fantasy Game, or in particular, 8th Edition; so for Comments and criticism; please don't let that affect you.
So - First of all.
Movement - MoGAME SEQUENCEAs not everything moves at the same speed in Fantasy, ranging from 6-7 foot tall Elves to 4-5 foot tall Dwarfs, this is important.Weapon Skill - WSA staple of the game, I'm not going to be getting rid of this stat.Ballistic Skill - BSAs above.Strength - SAs above.Toughness - TAs above.Wounds - WAs above.Speed - SpThis is just a rename of Initiative; you'll see why a little bit later on. Otherwise, as above.Attacks - AAs above.Leadership - LdAs above.Magic Attack - MAThis is a new stat, designed for quick at a glance checks on magic users capabilities. All models will have this stat - and the plans I have in mind for the Magic Phase will show how this value comes about. It currently is used for the generation of Power Dice.Magic Defence - MDSee above; but for Dispel Dice.Unit Mass - UMThis a reference for one thing currently; Killing Blow. I'm currently thinking of removing the Heroic Killing Blow, and instead granting a Killing Blow value; so a Bloodthirster could kill an Ogre in one strike, but maybe not another Bloodthirster. This unit mass value is the reference for that.
1. - Turn Up
2. - Deploy Terrain
3. - Choose/Roll for Mission Type
3.1 - Deploy mission specifics
4. - Choose/Roll for Deployment Zones
4.1 - Choose/Roll for Deployment Method
5 - Begin the game.
Turn Sequence
1. - Initiative Phase
Both players roll a D6 and add to your general's leadership in this phase. Whichever scores higher will win Initiative for that turn. If the general is dead and there are no other Initiative capable models alive, then each army will have an Initiative value assigned to it which is used in the meanwhile. There are also several modifiers to the Initiative value - both from General only Magic Items, but also innate bonuses, such as the High Elves, if playing in the first turn and you managed to finish deploying before your opponent, and whether the opponent went first the turn before for example. Naturally, the winner may choose to hand over Initiative to the opponent.2. - Reserves Phase
This is when Ambushers, pursuit moves, and, pretty much, any off-table unit may choose to come on. Primarily of use to Skirmishers, Fast Cavalry etc, but also allows certain units to be deployed as a "Second Line", perhaps Ambushes. Rules will be written to allow for Aerial, Portal and Subterranean Deep Strikes, Ambushes from units hidden in terrain (think Merwyrms from Deep Water; or Waywatchers from Tree's, to even Undead from Burial Mounds), as well as basic moving back onto the table as if overrun etc. Both players move simultaneously, with the player with Initiative placing their units first, followed by the player without.3. - Movement Phase
Like above, is done simultaneously. Charge reactions updated to allow Counter Charges and the like; or to brace.4. - Magic Phase
The biggest overhaul. Done Simultaneously in accordance with Initiative.5. - Shooting Phase
As above.6. - Close Combat Phase
Only one phase of close combat is fought, but it's done in the manner that fits the combat rules; I've not yet decided, aside from always strike in Initiative order is gone.MAGIC PHASE
Power Dice GenerationAnd that's where we're at so far. I'm thinking of keeping Lord Magic Levels to 7 or 8 depending on ability, 6-7 for Hero casters, while special characters, such as Teclis or powerful casters such as the Greater Daemon of Tzeentch can crack out maybe 9 or even 10 Magic Attack and/or Defence. Warrior Priests, Runesmiths and Khorne Combat could have Magic Defences equivalent to Heroes, while Hybrid Characters can become much more available, but require investment to become powerful warrior mages through item upgrades - such as Blood Dragon Vampires or Tzeentch Lords (as opposed to Tzeentch Mages).Both Players; For every friendly model/unit with a Magic Attack value, make a Magic Attack Test (2D6). If passed, the difference is given to the pool. If failed and a double is rolled, opponent gets +D3 Dispel Dice.Dispel Dice GenerationBoth Players; For every friendly model/unit with a Magic Defence value, make a Magic Defence Test. If passed, difference added to the Pool. If failed and a double is rolled, opponent gets +D3 Power Dice.Player with Initiative Casts SpellsIf a Double 6 is rolled, uses the Empowered ability, and no attempt to Dispel may be made. If a double 1 is rolled, spell is not cast, and rolls on Miscast Table.Player without attempts to DispelIf a Double 6 is rolled, user Counter Spells, turning it back on the caster; the nearest friendly Dispel Capable model to a model affected by the spell may now choose to automatically and immediately cast the spell as if it was their own, no dice required. If a double 1 is rolled, the dispel utterly fails, even if the prerequisite value was achieved.Player without Casts SpellsSee for Player with.Player with attempts to DispelSee for Player without.Magic ResistanceMagic Resistance is a new type of save available to certain models. It works against all Spell Effects, unless it specifically says there is none.
Sphere: Affects the model and models inside the Area of Effect; usually listed as unit, or units within a certain distance. Listed as Magic Resistance: Sphere (4+).
Personal: Affects purely the model itself. Listed as Magic Resistance: Personal (4+).
I'd really appreciate some comments, and perhaps even criticism at this early stage.

The wireless mobile company recently acquired a number of cloud and telematics assets making it one of a handful of international companies likely to emerge from the recent global recession intact, said a company spokesperson.
Not every species or company makes it to the next era, said Verizon Enterprise Solutions chief marketing officer John Harrobin.
The pairing of cloud and mobility represent the third significant era in computing, he added. The very technology that is delivering enterprise IT is shifting from premises-based, to cloud-based and this is massively disruptive. It is in this discontinuity that we see the opportunity for Verizon to reposition itself in the marketplace and capture additional value.
Verizon recently purchased Hughes Telematics, which manufactures wireless systems for automobiles, for $612 million, as well as Terremark Worldwide, a cloud computing company, for $1.4 billion. It plans to zero in on Asia Pacific markets with its new cloud computing capabilities.
The assets that we have enable us to do that, said Harrobin. The IT delivery model now requires cloud and mobility. Broadband whether wired or wireless not only enables cost savings but business transfer opportunities.
We have very significant plans for our security and cloud services and in Australia these are our biggest pushes, Harrobin said. The company owns two data centers in Canberra and one in Sydney and Melbourne respectively.
Following its MCI Worldcom acquisition, Verizon also operates fiber networks in Sydney and Melbourne.
We would seek to partner appropriately to that market (on NBN), said Verizon Enterprise Solutions assistant vice president for APAC strategy Robert Le Busque. The wholesale interconnect through the region is very key to us. All of a sudden we have the potential to access infrastructure and to provide secure links for our corporation or enterprise in a far more agile and dynamic way than ever before.

PetMed Express Inc. Stock Upgraded (PETS)
TheStreet) -- PetMed Express (Nasdaq: PETS) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, reasonable valuation levels and good cash flow from operations. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
-- Written by a member of TheStreet RatingsStaff
- PETS's revenue growth trails the industry average of 32.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 9.8%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- PETS has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 6.25, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 587.85% to $6.67 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, PETMED EXPRESS INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -52.85%.
- The change in net income from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Internet & Catalog Retail industry average. The net income has decreased by 3.7% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $4.15 million to $3.99 million.

Farm lands any ideas?
Chris van der Heijden
Haw can you draw farmlands the best in a map? I always use straight lines but I really do not like this. Any ideas?
Well, I don't know about maps, but... Well, I know how to read, and I dislike maps in books that have perfect squares with perfect lines. farmlands don't have straight lines :P
Furrows in fields are bumpy. In MODERN times, there are some fancier farms that can flatten the terrain before planting, but most can't. So those and other fields have to work with the soil they got.
Also the rows alternate - you need spaces to walk between the rows of crops without damaging them. So I assume that on colored maps the colors would alternate - crops, then dirt, then crops, and so on. That's probably where the lines come in on maps which aren't colored, but even these look more real to me with a bit of shading. Grazing areas wouldn't have lines at all - it's just grass, really.
Farm PLOTS do tend to have rather rigid dividing lines, but they are rarely square. Long ago, though, it would have been as straight as a man without modern tools could make a fence (to keep the animals out of the crops) or to plant a hedge to separate his property from his neighbor's. Now it's as straight as you can drive.
Also, in modern times, people have better equipment, so regardless how much land they own, they're able to farm more of it. So (modern) people can plant plot after plot, all touching... but older societies would have smaller, more scattered plots, taking advantage of the best pieces of land. This still also means that, if the best soil for corn juts out in a weird shaped area, you plant corn in that are.
To make this more map-related, I'll jack a couple of shots from google maps.
Well, it depends a great deal on what you are trying to accomplish. You'd do it in quite different ways on a cadastral map showing land ownership, a thematic map showing a correlation between crop yield and elevation, a topographic map for overland navigation. Scale is going to play a big factor too, as are the constraints of the medium and the information available.
For certain cases where I just want to say "this area is generally use for agriculture" I'm quite pleased with the result I get from chopping the area into evenly sized by irregularly arranged cells (I compute a Poisson disc distribution then find the Voronoi diagram of it) Inset the cells slightly, and then select a random orientation, dash pattern, and spacing for each and draw furrow lines, and then give the lines a bit of random jitter.

Columbia Pictures Unveils Poster For 'Amazing Spider-Man'
The new teaser poster for Amazing Spider-Man has been revealed! Superhero Hype got the exclusive image from Columbia Pictures and it's got an eerie silhouetted image of Andrew Garfield scaling a corner wall and casting an ominous, and familiar shadow. Check it out below.
Amazing Spider-Man is set for a July 3, 2012 release date and will be shown in 2D and 3D. It stars Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, Rhys Ifans as the Lizard/Dr. Curt Connors, Chris Zylka as Flash Thompson, Dennis Leary as George Stacy, Campbell Scott as Richard Parker, Embeth Davidtz as Mary Parker, Irrfan Khan as Nels Van Adder/Proto-Goblin, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben and Sally Field as Aunt May.
The poster also has a tagline "The Untold Story" that makes one wonder about the specifics explored in this new film. If it is based on Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley's run of Ultimate Spider-Man then we can expect a much longer and thorough telling of the origin story. We should see Peter's relationship with his Uncle Ben fleshed out more, perhaps even see a lengthy telling of what happened to Peter's parents and how they fit into the film universe. While it's true, this will be a reboot, there's many directions they could go while modernizing it for the next generation.
So what do you think of the latest poster? Dig it, or don't? What do you want to see as the untold story?

Whose Jerusalem Is It, Anyway?
Should diaspora Jews have a say in the political negotiations about Jerusalem?
"Arafat balked at not having sovereignty over all of East Jerusalem, including the Temple Mount." That's former President Bill Clinton's version of the defining moment of the failed Camp David summit of 2000. "He turned the offer down." Clinton "called Arab leaders for support," but "most wouldn't say much." Not one of them was brave enough—or stupid enough—to take the credit and the blame for helping Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat give up, even if only symbolically, on Muslim control of the Temple Mount.
So, the problem of Jerusalem was not solved. And as the current Israeli and Palestinian leaders—Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and President Mahmoud Abbas—again inch toward an agreement, an old reality is suddenly dawning on both of them, and on the American facilitator: Reaching an agreement on Jerusalem will demand more time and more creativity than the timetable for agreement (the end of 2008) can provide.
Jerusalem is the main reason we hear Olmert and Abbas talking about an agreement of principles rather than an agreement. This is the question on which no weak leader—and both are weak politically—can compromise. Olmert is under constant threat that Shas, the right-wing religious party, will leave the ruling coalition if Jerusalem is so much as discussed in the peace negotiations. Abbas, like every Arab leader, is under the more severe threat that he will become a target of violence by Muslim radicals if he decides to make compromises and accept an offer similar to the one Arafat rejected.
Olmert's life is complicated by more than just Israelis' opposition to compromises on Jerusalem. In the last several months, he has also faced a revolt by diaspora Jews, who are making demands strangely analogous to the claims of Muslims in the broader Arab world. Abbas can't give up on Muslims' historic claims over the holy sites of Jerusalem, and Olmert is hearing similar voices from the Jewish community, especially in the United States. The more extreme advocates for diaspora input say he does not have the right to compromise on Jerusalem without broader Jewish consent. More moderate voices concede that the final decision will be taken by Israel, but they demand to be consulted, whatever that means.
Israelis do not necessarily like the idea of diaspora Jews meddling in the affairs of the state. A survey conducted for the Jewish organization B'nai B'rith International a couple of weeks ago revealed that Israelis' view on this issue is largely driven by their political stance. The more traditional an Israeli is, the more he opposes concessions in Jerusalem: Fifty-one percent of secular Jews, 80.1 percent of somewhat observant Jews, and 91.1 percent of strictly observant Jews oppose concessions in Jerusalem.
And what about the right of American Jews to be part of the decision-making process? Only 31.7 percent of secular Israelis want them involved, but for religious Israelis the opposite is true: Almost 60 percent want U.S. involvement, probably hoping it would make Olmert's life more difficult when it comes to the holy city.
Jeffrey Ballabon of the Coordinating Council on Jerusalem—a U.S. umbrella organization that supports a Jewish Jerusalem—told me a couple of weeks ago that he doesn't feel the need to justify his actions. "Jerusalem is the birthright of all Jews everywhere," and the fact that Jerusalem it is now part of the state of Israel is merely a technicality. "No one and nothing has to give us the right [to fight for the city], because politics is about leverage and power, and we are exercising that which is available to us."
Olmert doesn't like this approach. When he visited the United States in November 2007 for the Annapolis summit, he gave an angry response to a question on the topic. First, he said, there's no question that political decisions about the future of Jerusalem will be Israel's to make. Later, he blamed "Jewish decision" activists for playing politics. "The Jerusalem issue has become routine. They used it against [Shimon] Peres [in the 1996 election]; they tried it with [Ehud] Barak [in the 1999 election]; and are trying it with me."

Fun Bags is a film advertised in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. In GTA III the poster can be found in the car park in Newport, Staunton Island and in GTA Vice City, the poster can be found in Phil Cassidy's trailer in Little Haiti. It is possible the film is pornographic due to the woman on the poster and the title "Fun Bags", which is a slang term for boobies.

Flame/Smoke Containment Pipe
GF Harvel FlameTech has been developed for use as containment piping in visual leak detection systems in areas where flame spread and smoke generation are of concern
(i.e., containment piping installed in return air plenum applications). Major building and mechanical codes require that combustible piping installed within an air plenum must have a maximum flame spread of 25 and a maximum smoke development rating of 50. Based on large-scale burn testing of finished piping products conducted by ULC, GF Harvel FlameTech piping meets this fire performance requirement and is Listed by ULC for surface burning characteristics.In addition to excellent fire performance properties, GF Harvel FlameTech translucent piping offers good optical qualities. This enables its use as containment piping for high-purity piping runs where quick identification of primary tubing and visual leak detection are critical. Primary tubing can be readily identified and inspected visually through the pipe wall. Utilizing a flashlight or alternate light source greatly enhances this unique attribute.
Fire Performance Rating
GF Harvel FlameTech piping has been evaluated and Listed for Surface Burning Characteristics by Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (CAN/ULC Standard S102.2). This is a large-scale test conducted on 24-foot lengths of dry piping to evaluate flammability characteristics compared to known non-combustibles (asbestos cement board) and known combustibles (red oak). GF Harvel FlameTech piping has a maximum flame spread rating of 10 and a maximum smoke generation of 35-50 when tested in accordance with this standard. Testing has shown that GF Harvel FlameTech piping meets the maximum flame spread (25) and maximum smoke generation (50) values for combustible materials installed within an air plenum as called out by major building codes. GF Harvel FlameTech out-performs the fire performance characteristics of alternate plastic piping materials typically used for visual leak detection.
As a listed product, each pipe length is marked with the flame spread and smoke generation values for easy identification in the field.
Contact GF Harvel Technical Services Department at (610) 252-7355 for additional information concerning the fire performance properties of GF Harvel piping products.
Physical Performance
GF Harvel FlameTech piping is produced from a new version of clear PVC material that has been optimized to address fire performance issues. As a result, this product exhibits characteristics similar to those of conventional GF Harvel Clear piping with regard to joining techniques, field fabrication, chemical resistance, and other beneficial physical properties. GF Harvel FlameTech piping is heat-formable for on-site fabrication of belled ends, sweeps and bends. The maximum service temperature of this product is 140°F. Refer to GF Harvel HPB-107 Clear bulletin for basic physical properties, fabrication guidelines and additional information.
Joining Techniques
FlameTech piping is joined using conventional PVC solvent cement joining techniques, providing a quick, strong, leak-tight seal. GF Harvel recommends the use of a clear, medium-bodied, fast-setting PVC cement in conjunction with a clear primer for optimum joint integrity such as IPS Weld-On 705 Clear solvent cement and IPS Weld-On P-70 Clear Primer. Details on proper solvent cementing techniques are available and must be reviewed for proper assembly and joint integrity. GF Harvel FlameTech piping is compatible with Clear PVC piping components and/or standard PVC fittings, and can be incorporated into existing PVC containment systems via the solvent cement joining process.
Hangers and Supports
Support location and spacing are dependent on the pipe diameter, operating temperature of the system and the location of any concentrated stress loads (i.e., valves, and any other heavy system components). Proper support location is critical to ensure deflection is kept to a minimum. Hangers used must have an adequate load-bearing surface free of any rough or sharp edges that could damage the pipe. They must also not restrict linear movement of the system due to the effects of thermal expansion and contraction.
System Design
Systems utilizing GF Harvel FlameTech piping are to be designed and installed using existing industry standards for the installation of rigid thermoplastic piping. Factors such as operating temperatures, proper support spacing, chemical resistance, thermal expansion and contraction, handling and storage, and joining must be taken into consideration and addressed with appropriate design techniques. The use of this product to address code compliance issues regarding any local, state, or national code requirements concerning its use is the responsibility of the end user. Additional information is available from GF Harvel.
Caution Areas
Although GF Harvel FlameTech maintains its physical properties when exposed to many substances, exposure to certain chemicals can affect the clarity of the pipe over time. Certain nitrogen-containing organics, bleaches, oxidative agents and acids may result in discoloration. Exposure to sunlight (U.V.R.) will also affect clarity. These facts should be considered and testing under actual use conditions is recommended. GF Harvel does not recommend the use of this product for pressurized fluid applications or for the transportation or storage of compressed air or gases. Standard threading or grooving of GF Harvel FlameTech is not recommended due to insufficient wall thickness.

A Guide to Hammers
- • Nail Hammer
- • Dead-blow Hammer and Wooden Mallet
- • Commonsense Hints For Hammering
Dead-blow Hammer and Wooden Mallet
The dead-blow hammer's hollow head, filled with steel shot, delivers a solid blow without rebounding. Some dead-blow hammers feature replaceable steel or plastic faces. For woodworking, however, we prefer a 14-oz. urethane-encapsulated type, shown at left.
The resilient covering, coupled with the no-bounce hit, minimizes surface marring when you use this hammer against wood. There's no better tool for tapping joints together or knocking them apart. You usually won't have to take mighty swings with this hammer, which also prevents damage to project parts.
- Assembling/disassembling joints.
- Aligning parts.
- Setting dowels or splines.
- Adjusting/tuning tools.
- Striking chisels.
- Driving nails or other fasteners.
- Hitting sharp objects that could damage the covering.
If you own woodworking chisels, you need a wooden mallet like the one shown at left. It's the tool best suited to driving chisels.
The mallet's large, flat, angled faces ensure that you?ll hit the chisel squarely every time. Hitting the end of a chisel with a nail hammer's small face calls for unerring aim and concentration-which means you end up watching the top of the chisel handle when you should be paying attention to the sharp end. (A steel hammer head can clobber up a wooden chisel handle pretty badly, too.)
- Striking woodworking chisels--the tool's main purpose.
- Assembling or disassembling joints.
- Aligning parts.
- Striking anything metal or sharp.
Complete Guide to Workbenches, Tool Stands, & Carts
Use an engineers hammer (ballpein) to strike anything harder than a wire nail. Carpentry hammers are harder and can shatter. I was in hospital one time with a diesel fitter who lost one eye knocking in his sons tricycle cotter pin. Please be careful.2/2/2013 03:37:38 PM Report Abuse
