SCoW Report 2011-12-21
An action-packed SCoW tonight. Newcomer Andy dropped in. He's an Android developer and he was looking for a non-coding activity. Fortunately, Neil brought a bunch of boards and parts for solder practice, so Andy got to do some soldering. Neil and Danny inspected his work and pronounced it good.
Danny also had an LED cycling through the colors of the rainbow. Meanwhile, Alan was hacking the router to get it to connect to the Inscape wi-fi. Lawrence was drilling something and Roy was figuring out how to transport stuff around the space using robots.
Thanks to Budi for keeping the space open after I had to leave.

Anna Gunn currently stars as Skyler White on "Breaking Bad," garnering considerable critical acclaim.
Throughout her career, Gunn has moved between television, film and theatre with ease. In 2004, she landed her breakout television role, playing Martha Bullock on HBO's seminal show, "Deadwood." Gunn's association with "Deadwood" creator David Milch began early on when she first worked with him on his hit drama "NYPD Blue," giving a memorable performance as Kimmy, a junkie longing to escape New York to swim with the dolphins.
She also acted in "The Practice," opposite Dylan McDermott and Lara Flynn Boyle. Her television credits also include "Six Feet Under," "ER," and "Seinfeld."
Highlights of Gunn's feature film work include the dark comedy Nobody's Baby, in which she starred with Gary Oldman and Mary Steenburgen; the film premiered at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. In 1998, she played opposite Jon Voight in Tony Scott's summer blockbuster, Enemy of the State. Her first starring role was in 1995's independent thriller, Without Evidence, along side Angelina Jolie.
Gunn is also a sought after actress of the stage. In early 2009 she created the leading role of photojournalist Sarah Goodwin in the world premiere of Time Stands Still by Donald Margulies at the Geffen Theater in Los Angeles.
Gunn grew up in Santa Fe, NM. She discovered acting in a drama class at the Santa Fe Preparatory School and was fortunate to study with two teachers from the Actor's Studio as a teenager.
She continued her education and training at Northwestern University's renowned theatre department winning a coveted scholarship award in her junior year. During her time at Northwestern, Gunn went abroad for a semester to study with the British American Drama Academy.
Anna currently resides in Los Angeles with her two young daughters.

Fiftieth Meeting of the Advanced Manufacturing Forum
Innovation in Quality and Manufacturing Management: Lessons from the Frontier
November 1-2, 2001
Session Highlights
Randall Jacoby, Manager of Manufacturing
Scroll Technologies
Developing Empowered Teams for Continuous Improvement
Scroll Technologies makes scroll compressors used to power residential and light commercial heat and cooling systems. Scroll has empowered work teams in which well-trained workers focus on all aspects of continuous improvement. A major catalyst for problem-solving is extensive use of benchmarking on product design, product performance, quality, and manufacturing efficiencies, and environmental protection. Teams convene for Kaizen events during which they work on issues such as these. Since 1996, the plant has achieved significant improvements in productivity and quality, including major reductions in manufacturing costs and customer line rejects.
Dennis White, Plant Manager
Continental Teves
Focusing Empowered Teams: Clear Mission and Real-Time Metrics
Continental Teves is focused on being the world's highest quality, lowest cost producer of anti-lock brake systems, traction control systems, and electronic stability packages. The company's initiatives include customer-driven improvement, value-added activities, employee involvement, just-in-time process, visual management, and total preventative maintenance. Frequent product redesigns and incredible cleanliness requirements create formidable challenges for the plant's cross-functional teams. These teams focus on operational equipment efficiency and other highly visible metrics, and in the last six years have achieved very impressive reductions in defect rates, warranty costs, and inventory as well as increases in unit volume and hours worked without a lost-time accident.
Mike Kenyon, Quality, Six Sigma Leader
BAE Systems Controls
Lean Sigma: Blending Lean Manufacturing Principles with Six Sigma Tools
BAE Control Systems produces engine controls that are mounted on aircraft engines to monitor engine performance, control engine speed, and optimize fuel efficiency. The company's Lean Sigma Program blends lean-manufacturing principles with Six Sigma quality tools. A key element of the program is the creation of "takt-time-driven" product cells in which multi-skilled workers build customized products in a low-volume-high mix environment. Since its inception four years ago, the program has produced impressive results, including 97% improvement in sales per employee, 90% reduction in customer lead-time, and 70% reduction in work-in-process.
Steven Schneider, Director of Operations
Monarch Marketing Systems, Paxar Corporation
Tapping the Well-Spring of Worker Knowledge
Paxar's Monarch Marking Systems makes mechanical price-marking guns, electronic bar-code printers, and labels for these products. The company's Practical Process Improvement (PPI) program relies on workers' knowledge and gives them the tools to identify process-related problems and propose and test solutions for them. PPI teams gauge their success against metrics that are posted in the plant, and receive bonuses based on them. The "Waste Outs" program complements PPI and encourages workers to make and act on suggestions to save money and drive waste out of a process. These two programs have increased operational efficiencies, as measured by cycle-time, throughput and inventory reduction, by more than 20% in the last five years.

Bao Dur dialogue?
Well, I dont know if this a bug, but after finishing Telos, all i can say to Bao Dur is asking him of lightsabers. Is this correct, or I'm missing some options due to *something*.
BTW: Sorry for my grammar mistakes, I'm from Poland actually, and I'm still learning english;P.
Don't worry about your English, it is actually quite good compared to a few of the other posts around here. :)
Did you already finish talking to Bao-Dur about where he got the Remote and what he is doing on the ship, among other questions? If so, then the only options available will be the lightsaber parts. Of course, if you installed some mods that changed Bao-Dur's dialog, then that might be the issue.
- Star Admiral
I always like how people who learn English as a second language actually have better grammar than those of us who are native speakers. :xp: (I'm guilty)
Well if you take him around with you you can get more influence with him to open more dialogue, but that is only if you have not jedified him yet. This dialogue is a one time thing though - it's not like Handmaiden or Mira dialogue which kind of just sticks around.
If you have not already done so, I would look for an influence guide (there are tons of them). So, no this is not a bug :)

How I love the raccoon, let me count the ways. They're nature's bandits, you know? The Adult Raccoon Costume celebrates the Ali Baba of stealing things out of people's garbage. The procyon is a wonderful little critter, even if they're always getting into my chicken coup and roughing up the talent. That's okay, though, they're animals and they're funny ones at that.There's a reason they're such a big part of the American legend and it isn't just because they like scavenging off of us. They're smart, they're dexterous, and they're anthropomorphic. You'll be king of Halloween like the raccoon is the king of the garbage cans with the Adult Raccoon Costume.

For real $x$, let $$f(x)=\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}(\cos(x))^{2n}$$ How to find the continuous points of $f(x)$?

Here's how it works:

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Hint: We have $f(x)=0$ except when $x$ is of the form $k\pi$ for some integer $k$.
When $x=k\pi$, $k$ is integer, $$cos(x)=\pm1$$ $$cos^{2}(x)=1$$
When $n\to\infty$, $$cos^{2n}(x)=0$$ except for $x=k\pi$, $k$ is integer.
Hence $f(x)$ is continuous on $$(k\pi,(k+1)\pi)$$ $k$ is integer.

Justin Bieber's new single rattles off the merits of why he's an ideal significant other—cheese access, trips to the moon—but how does he well does he do when taking on the world of Ashton Kutcher? Bieber's first episode as guest curator/prank architect on MTV's updated version of Punk'd premiered Thursday night, packed with all the cameos necessary to shut down Twitter for a few hours with too many mentions about somebody "killing it." MTV smartly front-loaded its return to candid video of stars freaking out with reigning teen queens Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus, making that golden inner circle of Young Hollywood still seem as enviable a place as ever, even if such friendships run the risk of inspiring hate songs and leaked drug videos.
Things started off well for the Bieb, who used his deep address book to successfully convince Swift she had ruined one couple's wedding day and may be going to jail because of his pyrotechnic tendencies. But not all artists or notable celebrities are as gullible, nor as willing to flash a surprised face. And while she'll surely use this breach of trust as a jumping off point for her next album—and we encourage it!—Rob Dyrdek exists as the stern warning Tay should have been given before heading over to "write" on a "boat" in "Malibu" with a horny teen star. Cute as he is, that Bieb is not to be trusted. Miley Cyrus fell to a similar fate, trusting the network after they'd given her the same privilege of punking a few friends (stay tuned for that episode!) and making our brain hurt following the premise of punking someone who thinks they're punking you.
Get More: Punk'd, Full Episodes
Producers warned him against setting his ambitious sights on a fellow MTV star—who knows a thing or two about TV lighting and may or may not hit Dolce with Ashton and Wilmer on the weekends—but, dammit, never say never, you guys. The Fantasy Factory owner's outsmarting of Bieber forced him put in a call to friend and collaborator Sean Kingston, who dropped everything to come out for dinner, because he'll try anything once following that jet ski accident. (Too soon?) Cue a car crashing into the side of the building, and our favorite Jamaican attempting to make peace out of the hysteria that followed. Nothing revolutionary to those who remember Justin Timberlake's epic weed-fueled tax dilemma, or the many scenes that launched Dax Shepard into our lives—and into the arms of Kristen Bell—but roughly 22 extra minutes of Bieber-watching than fans were previously blessed with.
Let's face it: The Bieb is no Kutcher, which, when considering recent events, is a good thing. Plus, everybody knows the ability to lie and sneak around only gets stronger with age (and years in the entertainment industry). At 18, the possibilities are endless. With Adorable Aussie Cody Simpson, and U.K. boy band The Wanted on deck for future episodes, perhaps some of these details will get lost in translation, thus opening the door for miscommunication, minor panic and cheap laughs.

National University nipped De La Salle, 9-3, and University of Santo Tomas edged Ateneo, 6-5, to kick off their campaign in UAAP Season 76 softball that opened on Wednesday at the Rizal Memorial Ballpark.
University of the Philippines (UP), on the other hand, had a rousing 13-3 rout of University of the East (UE) to open its season.
Surprise package UE, meanwhile, collides with defending champion Far Eastern University (FEU) in a showdown of league leaders today in men's football tournament. The lone match is set at 3 p.m. at the FEU-Diliman pitch.
The women's football match between titleholder FEU and Ateneo will be replayed on December 20 at 1 p.m. also at FEU-Diliman. In their November 27 duel that was rained out, the Lady Tamaraws and the Lady Eagles were tied at 1-1 before game officials declared an abandoned match. The Red Warriors, who only had a point to show last season, made heads turn this early by recording 10 points to grab the top spot. UE has beaten pre-tournament favorites UP, De La Salle and NU, before battling defending champion Ateneo to a 1-1 draw last Tuesday.
Comebacking striker Fitch Arboleda, who missed all of Season 75 due to injury, will be the main man for the Warriors. Behind the efforts of last season's top goalscorer Jess Melliza and Nicolas Ferrer, the Tamaraws won their first three matches to collect nine points in second spot.
FEU is coming off a 3-1 victory over UST last Tuesday courtesy of a Melliza brace in the second half. Melliza, Ferrer and Arboleda are currently tied for the most number of goals in the tournament with four apiece.

Your skin
A light peel at home (skip the in-office version—you're a bit too close to your event to risk the potential redness and flaking) will help remove dead cells and even out the texture of the skin, says New York and Miami dermatologist Fredric Brandt, MD. Try the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare kit mentioned in the six-week strategy or Philosophy Microdelivery Mini Peel Pads ($35 for 60 pads; sephora.com). If your skin is not overly sensitive, Tanzi says you could also go deeper with an in-office microdermabrasion treatment, followed by a skin-calming LED (light-emitting diode) treatment. Average cost: $150 for microdermabrasion, $275 for the LED. "The microdermabrasion gives skin a healthy glow, and the LED helps calm skin down," she explains. (Neither produces the redness and flaking of a peel.) A dermatologist can help determine which treatment is best for you at this point, but to be on the safe side, schedule anything stronger than the at-home peel early in the week to allow for plenty of recovery time.
You may also want to apply self-tanner or, even better, have a pro-fessional do it. We're not suggesting you aim for that bronze look you achievd during spring break back in the day—just the kind of subtle, healthy glow that makes almost anyone look fresher. Plus, even the lightest tan hides a host of problems, such as uneven tone, broken capillaries, arm cellulite and acne scars. Our favorite at-home formulas: Bare Escentuals Faux Tan Sunless Tanner ($22; bareescentuals .com) or, for a very sheer, understated glow, Perricone MD No Sun Tanner ($69; sephora.com).
Your hair
It goes without saying: This proba-bly isn't the time to try a dramatic new style. But do try to squeeze in a trim early in the week, since it often takes a few days to get used to even the most minor cut. "Be very clear with your stylist: You're just dusting the ends," says Blandi. If you're able, freshen your color, too, especially if you like the look of just-highlighted hair. If you don't have time for a cut and/or color, you can at least boost your hair's sheen with a salon or at-home gloss treatment such as Oscar Blandi At-Home Salon Glaze Shine Rinse ($27; oscarblandi.com).
Your makeup
If you plan to it apply yourself, do
a test run or two and have your husband, partner or friend snap a picture. "It's easier to look at yourself objectively in a photograph than in a mirror," says Kashuk. (While you're at it, ask your photo snapper to weigh in as well.) If you are itch-ing for a little more drama than you get from your everyday makeup and you aren't already wearing lash extensions, you may want to have a professional artist apply false lashesthe day of the event. Tip: Individual lashes applied at just the outer corners will give a more natural effect than a full strip of falsies will. Now is also the time to think of your nails: painted or no? Your call, but get them groomed (professionally or at home) within three days of your event. Tip: If you are woefully inept at DIY manis (and most of us are), stick-on nail strips like Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips ($9; drugstores) make it easier to appear polished. And don't overlook the cosmetic value of whiter teeth. They can brighten your whole face and boost your confidence about smiling. The fastest, most effective at-home whitener we've found is Crest 3D White Two-Hour Express Whitestrips ($55; drugstores). Finally, if your brows are looking a little unruly, schedule a brow shaping at least two days before the event. "You don't want to risk redness, a rash or an allergic reaction to brow wax any closer to the big day," says Cosio.
We're keeping this section short because you have work to do. Read quickly—then do some power primping.

The Scottsdale Scorpions couldn't make it three in a row, falling 4-3 to Salt River.
Derek Norris pushed the safety skein to eight games (hey, that rhymes!) while going 2-for-5 with a strikeout. Defensively, it was a mixed bag: a passed ball, 1-for-2 in runners caught stealing.
Sammy Solis scattered five hits over four innings, but needed 71 pitches to do it. He walked two and allowed an unearned run (Norris PB) while striking out five.
Pat Lehman ended his in-game BP tendencies with a scoreless inning — his first in more than three weeks — retiring all three batters he faced in the 6th, two by way of the K.
Unfortunately, Rafael Martin's fifth appearance was marred by a 9th-inning solo HR that gave the Rafters its fourth and deciding run. Martin was tagged with the loss and had no walks and no strikeouts.
It's a five-game this week as the AFL holds its "Rising Stars" game on Saturday, which will be televised on MLB Network at 8 p.m. Rosters are expected to be announced on Tuesday.
8 Responses to "AFL Update: October 30, 2011"
I was at the game and it was good to see Norris keep up his solid run at the plate. Martin hung a slider in the 9th but other than that, looked good. Solis sat at 94 and hit 95 and 96 several times. He's only been throwing a traditional overhand curve ball for 3 weeks now and struck out several batters with it. Kudos to Paul Menhart for helping him develop it.
Good to hear. If Solis can add a curve to his bag of tricks (FB, slider, change), that could boost his status.
Anyone know first hand if Norris has made progress on his catching this Fall…..Passed Balls……saw this a lot last fall….I did not see him this summer.
"serviceable"……interesting concept….Not many good teams have this type of starting catcher. Am I correct in thinking that in this new era of Baseball (post steroids) and especially in the NL that good catchers are the way most teams are headed? Like I said I have not seen him this year but last year and two years ago….he had trouble just catching the baseball.
If my premise above is correct then the Nats will not likely ever us him as a catcher so is he trade bait to an AL team?
In the end Norris ends up as a backup to Ramos. From there they can work with him to further improve his catching skills as they did with Flores both this year and when he was picked up as rule 5 from the Mets. Perhaps teach him another position as well.
Have to figure they trade Flores who is doing well offensively in the winter leagues but that arm … it looked a lot better toward the end …
Norris with that high OBP plus power gives Johnson a lot of great options off the bench. I can see him making the 24 in 2012.
I think you meant 25.

Fitbit, the company that sells wireless activity trackers, has announced a voluntary recall of its Fitbit Force device. Popular with individuals aiming to walk (or run) 10,000 steps per day or to achieve other activity-related fitness goals, Fitbit devices not only act as pedometers, but can also synchronize information from the device to a user's profile on Fitbit.com. The recall comes after weeks of reports of rashes experienced by Fitbit Force wearers.
The Fitbit Force looks like a bracelet, and includes nickel components, which may be the trigger for allergic contact dermatitis in some users, according to CEO James Park. Doctors at UC-San Diego call allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) a "type IV delayed hypersensitivity reaction." As a team of Japanese researchers explain in their paper on metal allergy, "Metal allergy is thought to be caused by the release of ions from metal materials." Nickel is an interesting choice of material for an activity tracker designed to be worn virtually 24 hours per day -- the Fitbit Force also functions as a sleep tracker -- as nickel is a "well-known causal agent of allergic contact dermatitis."
Additionally, the wristband portion of the Fitbit Force is made of silicone, a synthetic compound containing the tetravalent metalloid silicon. Although silicone is generally believed to have low toxicity, sensitization and allergic reactions to silicone have been noted in medical literature. In fact, ACD reactions to silicone-based cell phone covers are a growing concern among dermatologists. Broadly speaking, wearing a silicone-based, nickel-containing bracelet all day, every day seems like a risky proposition for at least some portion of the population.
Fitbit Force users who would like to receive a refund are instructed to fill out a form to request a return kit. A wiser choice for consumers concerned about a potential ACD may be the Fitbit Zip, which clips on to clothing and can be worn in such a way that it does not touch the skin.

Edit Article
How to Act Serious
Are you going to a business meeting or job interview and want to appear serious? Or do you just want to be naturally serious? Read this how-to!
1Keep a straight face. Try not to smile at all, even when a smile may be friendly and welcome (for example when you meet someone). Don't frown either, just show no particular facial expression. Have a contemplative look on your face, which is neither happy nor sad, but always thinking.
2Avoid thinking humorous or cheerful thoughts. If you need to think of something sad do it, you have to go to all the stops to be an actor, or actress, just after you say your line, think I've got other lines that are not funny, and focus on listening on the other person saying the line. It may be hard, especially when you're told not to, but this is very important to remember, or you may find yourself laughing out loud when you shouldn't - which could lead to some awkward situations.
3Think about serious life issues. This could be anything from politics to ways of improving the environment. If you're stuck for ideas, you might find that regularly catching up with local news announcements helps with this. If possible, try to pick at least one subject you're genuinely interested in - that way you'll feel much more inclined to think about it. The longer you do so, the more likely it is you'll genuinely feel in a serious mood and then will appear to be.
4Use appropriate dialogue. Don't tell many jokes, or make humorous comments - even if you're a naturally funny type of person. Serious is the opposite of funny, so avoid making people laugh, no matter how much you would love it. Using formal language and avoiding talking about casual stuff might also help.
5Dress conservatively. Avoid casual or flashy clothing. People who appear smart are usually taken as serious. Sticking with neutral colors such as black, gray or white is a good idea. Dressing office style, wearing glasses and carrying a briefcase might also help with looking the part.
Community Q&A
Add New Question
Does this mean I should avoid talking to jovial people?wikiHow ContributorNo it does not. That's taking it too seriously. But if you are constantly too serious, they may lose interest in your conversation with them or they will ask you what's wrong if you are usually jovial and you are friends with them. Realize that humor is an important part of leading a good life and that being serious all of the time is often a cover for not being able to handle the wide range of emotions human beings are blessed with.
Ask a Question
- Don't be too grouchy or unfriendly. You can still be a serious person without acting unfriendly.
- When attempting step 2 you might find that re-focusing your attention on sad/depressing thoughts (just for a while) improves your chances of success. Do your best to focus 100% of your attention on these, rather than on what it is you're trying not to think about as this is unlikely to help.
- Remember, if you act too serious people may mistake you as rude or mean. Be sure you still act kind.
- Don't overdo this, as doing so could mean people might mistake you for being too serious, a hard person to get along with or just hard to be around.
- Not laughing at other people's jokes may be impolite. This is a case when the "don't laugh" rule doesn't apply.

It has been a few years since I started collecting lo-fi cameras, they range from the well manufactured 50's Kodak Brownie Box to the cheap plastic and badly assembled Holga and Diana, in most cases they offer very limited features and are full of light leaks.
This book is a collection of more than a hundred Colour and B&W photographs taken between 2005 and 2009 using a variety of those cameras.

Once complete, fax or post it to Computershare (the details are on the form). You may also use the change of address card supplied by NZ Post.

- your full name and address
- your shareholder number (from a Shareholder FASTER Statement)
- your IRD number
- signatures of all the shareholders

How do I transfer my shares to someone else?
If you wish to transfer shares into the name of another person or entity, you may arrange an off-market transfer, also known as a standard transfer. Download and complete an Off Market Transfer Form and fax or post to Computershare.
How do I buy or sell shares?

What is a Security Reference Number (SRN) and how do I find out what my SRN is?
Issuer Sponsored holders are allocated two unique identification numbers - an SRN and a Holder Number.

How can I check my shareholding?

Baltimore --The Brass-A-Holics are in the lineup for the concert, benefiting the St. Jude Center. Shruti Chowdhary| Special to theadvocate.com July 11, 2013; 6:08 p.m. Comments Winston Turner's career had reached a crossroads, and he knew he had to determine which path he would follow. Turner had been playing trombone for the renowned New Orleans brass band The Soul Rebels and finding great success at home and across the globe, but he itched to try something fresh and exciting. Rather than attempting to change the Soul Rebels, Turner decided to follow his inclinations and form the kind of band he wanted. So, in 2010, he launched a new musical group called Brass-A-Holics. "I was looking to start something new and different, to incorporate more of a funk type of vibe," Turner said. He knew that to achieve this goal he would need really talented musicians who could play any type of music. Surprisingly, finding bandmates for Brass-A-Holics was an unexpectedly easy experience for Turner. All he had to do was show up at his favorite hangout spots and listen for what he wanted in his new band. "I used to go to clubs every night and just look at people like, 'Man, this dude is good, she's good, I'll wait 'til the end of the night and talk to them,'" Turner said. "I got everybody together one time. We were just looking for somewhere to play. It was so much fun. It was magic. With no rehearsal, we just kept moving and moving. Then we started to think, 'Let's keep this thing together.'" Brass-A-Holics' members are Turner (trombone), Tannon Williams (trumpet, also played with Soul Rebels), Robin Clabby (saxophone), Jason "Slick" Slack (bass horn), Matt Clark (guitar), Keiko Komaki (piano), Dwayne Muhammad (percussion) and Rickey Caesar (drums). A trombone player by trade, Turner also writes and arranges much of the music for his band. Turner said his love for music was ignited by teachers who had an eye for talent and encouraged musical expression in all students. It started at Lawrence D. Crocker Elementary School in New Orleans. "It was during the era when band instructors were experienced enough to let you play around with a couple instruments, and they could tell you which one you'd probably be the most successful on by just the way you hold it," Turner said. "Mr. Watkins and Mr. Salisbury at Gregory Junior High were very instrumental in helping me." Turner cultivated his talent through high school and college under the guidance of other such inspirational mentors, and after studying mental health counseling at Southern University he moved back to New Orleans to pursue both careers. "I never did have an opportunity to see a musician driving the car you want to drive. So I figured I would study something else but take music seriously. I'm a high school counselor from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The rest of the time, it's strictly music," he said. Although Turner, Williams and other band members have performed at Jazzfest with other groups like Soul Rebels before, 2013 was the first time at the festival for Brass-A-Holics as a united entity. The band previewed their debut album, "I am a Brass-A-Holic." The record was produced by Grammy Award winner Irvin Mayfield. "Being a musician, you tend to be your worst critic. I've had so many projects that I can't listen to, because I'll always find that one mistake. I'm not trying to blow my own horn, but this is one of those CDs I can actually listen to over and over and appreciate it." Turner said. "This is the first time I've had that feeling. Everybody had a big part in the production. The producer brought in people that are not part of the band and they add in that taste of flavor that makes you love a song again. It's unbelievable." The album is complete, and Brass-A-Holics has been pre-releasing it at their live shows. Official release to the public is scheduled for late October. "I learned a lot from traveling with [Soul Rebels]. Everything I've learned I'm putting it to use. Everything is working so quickly, and it's so exciting. We have the ability to go anywhere," Turner said. Brass-A-Holics will be performing on Friday, July 12 at Tipitina's. They also have a weekly gig at Publiq House in uptown New Orleans every Thursday evening. For more information on the band, visit http://brass-a-holics.com. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

William, The signal for AO-40 would not be classed as strong. You need a min. of 22 dBi antenna gain and a system noise figure under 1.5 dB. Better is having at least 24 dBi gain and 0.7 to 1.0 dBNF. So this implies a dish of at least 60 cm and better to have 85 cm or 1m. Some have heard the beacon using just a large helix (23-35 turns), but for adequate performance to work stations which are to stay 10 dB weaker than the beacon, you need a dish. The Norsat convertor probably has too high a NF (I am not personally knowledgeable about it). I have been preaching for a year that you need to use a low noise preamp for AO-40. The only converter that seems to be adequate by itself is the UEK3000. It has 0.7 dBNF and over 30 dB gain. The feeds you describe should work with a center-fed dish. If the dish is an offset feed, then better luck is obtained with a 4 to 5-turn helix feed with reflector disc. One of the problems people have starting out is they have no way to check the frequency of their converter. None of the commercial units are exactly on frequency, so you need a signal source of know frequency to calibrated the converter. The rest frequency (zero Doppler) of the beacon is 2401.323. Doppler can shift this up/down 25 KHz. Do not be disheartened. Nearly everybody has run into the same difficulties hearing the satellite at first. I hope my letter has helped. I wrote a paper about what is needed to get on AO-40 for the 2001 Amsat-NA Symposium and is available in the proceedings. Good Luck, Ed At 12:23 AM 11/19/2001 +0100, you wrote: >Hi AMSATs, > >The past weekend I have tried to hear the AO40 for my first time. >Unfortunatly the only thing I've heared was the famous noise :-( > >I tought the 13cm AO40 signal is very loud, but somehow for me it was like >Mars signals haha.

Los Angeles outfit, The Neighbourhood (sometimes stylized as "THE NBHD"), has announced a North American headline tour set for the spring. The dates, which follow select UK dates with The 1975, kick off March 7 in Phoenix, AZ and see the band crossing the U.S. and Canada through early April (see tour itinerary below). The Neighbourhood will stop in Chicago at the Riviera Theatre on Monday, March 24th with support from Kitten and Born Casual.
The band is composed of vocalist Jesse Rutherford, guitarists Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels, and bassist Mikey Margott. Former drummer, Bryan Sammis, was so inspired by the early versions of the song Sweater Weather that he left college and joined the band. After releasing two EPs, I'm Sorry... and Thank You, The Neighbourhood released their first full-length album, I Love You in 2013, via Columbia Records.
The Neighbourhood broke out with hit singles "Sweater Weather" and "Afraid" from their debut album I Love You. "Sweater Weather," which Billboard described as "deeply compelling," was recently certified platinum by the RIAA for sales in excess of 1 Million units and had one of the longest runs on the 2013 radio charts. The song was also praised by Rolling Stone, who noted "Layering hasn't sounded this cool since 'The Sweater Song.'" follow up single "Afraid," praised by Billboard for its "edgy, subtle hooks," is seeing similar success, currently top 5 at Alternative Radio. Additionally, over the holidays the band released two new tracks for their fans, UNFAIR and SILVER from the upcoming #000000 & #FFFFFF project.
Tickets are on sale now priced at $25. Show starts at 7:30pm. This is an all ages show.

Exploring space with Google Sky
Google has maps and photos of nearly all of the earth's surface. Now Google Sky lets you explore space, with the Moon and Mars enjoying a special status.
Everybody knows Google Maps. The project by the search engine giant Google has caused much ado in recent years because it maps the whole of the earth with varying degrees of accuracy. But Google wouldn't be Google if it were happy with what it had achieved. And it only makes sense for Google to push its mapping project's limits into space.

Stronger Together
Sales associates at ten Bob's Discount Furniture locations have voted to join together and form a union, taking an active approach to building the strength in numbers needed to improve their jobs.
If you work at Bob's Discount Furniture, you can be part of this movement to improve your job. Drop us a line below or start networking with other employees on the Facebook Group.
Bob's Discount Furniture sold a majority stake in 2005 to private equity firm Saunders, Karp & Megrue. When Apax Partners later acquired Bob's Discount Furniture, associates were concerned about the path the company was taking as it expanded and decided to take matters into their own hands.
Sales associates at ten different locations in NY, NJ, CT, and NH are building on their strength as a unit by joining together to form a union.
"Our concerns were falling on deaf ears at Bob's Furniture," said Althera Greene, an associate at Bob's Glendale, N.Y. store. "The 'open door policy' the company claimed became 'If you don't like it, the door is open for you to leave.' Forming a union creates a voice that shouts, 'My name is Althera, and I am more than an employee ID number!'"
By being able to pool their knowledge and skills and act collectively, workers will be able to voice their ideas and concerns with management as equals in a professional setting.
"We are tired of working harder for less than we used to while the company is making more," says associate Mario Cacace. "We want a real say with where our future goes with Bob's/Apax."

Giving USB the boot - install
By PotstickerGuru on Jan 05, 2007
There's been lots of news from India about the Belenix folks on the Solaris-runnable Flash archive on the 1GB stick. It's very cool and the person -Anil Gulecha- who did the runnable flash stick image has been getting lots of praise. I thought I'd join in, since I leveraged a lot of things he was doing in his usbdump.sh to create a bootable Solaris Nevada b55 image onto that USB drive (on sale!).
Overview of Steps
Basically, the process is fairly straightforward, except the commands aren't always known or easy to remember.
- Format the USB drive and create a UFS filesystem on it.
- Copy over the files verbatim from the install DVD
- Install GRUB to make it bootable
- Boot a System to Install with the USB drive
As I discovered, the contents of the install DVD aren't quite amenable to a straightforward installation. There are definite dependencies for example, the path where the DVD install scripts expect the media to be (i.e. /cdrom). And this doesn't make life easy unless you know the workarounds. But as I discovered, the USB drive installation is about 30% faster than standard DVD install when it all works, and it's a lot quieter than a spinning optical drive. It also works when the system doesn't support PXEboot net-install, or the driver for the network isn't by default in the x86.miniroot for the installation OS. The flash drive, being a disk, makes it easy to include additional software like driver source files, the Studio 11 compiler packages, and optional freeware.
Formatting a USB flash drive for Solaris
This was shamelessly reverse engineered from Anil's usbdump.sh script and it seems to work pretty well. For those that don't want to extract out the relevant shell script lines to make their own script, basically, this is what I did to format my jump drive.
- stop volfs on your current Solaris 10 or Nevada box by typing the command: # svcadm disable volfs
- plug the USB flash drive in, wait several seconds
- run the command # rmformat -l to lists the removable media devices and find the Connected device which says something to the order of a Generic USB flash disk, and note the line which says: Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0p0 or something like that. I'll call the /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0 the [usbnode] going forward. You'll need to know yours later.
- # fdisk -B [usbnode] (where [usbnode] is from previous step)
- # fdisk -W - [usbnode] (need the extra hyphen for stdout - note the output
- Now, look at output from previous step and find max MB (MAXSIZE) of usable storage. You do this by multiplying bytes/sector (usually 512 at the top) with num sectors at the bottom of output (in my case, a 4 GB drive had roughly 7.9Million sections or so) divide by (1024\*1024) to yield MB (should be 3900 MB or so for a 4GB flash stick.
- setup your partition table file (a text file I'll call slices.txt, just plain
white space between words and letters where it appears (remove dashed lines - eval {$MAXSIZE - x} expressions and replace with number with no brackets (e.g. 3897MB)
slices: 0 = 2MB, {$MAXSIZE-3}MB, "wm", "root" : 1 = 0, 1MB, "wu", "boot" : 2 = 0, {$MAXSIZE - 1}MB, "wm", "backup"
- # rmformat -s ./path/to/slices.txt [usbnode]
- now run: # devfsadm; devfsadm -C
- Create a UFS on the flash drive by runing: # newfs /dev/rdsk/[usbslice] (slice means replace p0 with s0 in the [usbnode] path)
- wait for a minute to write, and now it's done.
- You can restart the volfs by running # svcadm enable volfs but you may want to hold if you plan to proceed to the next step immediately.
Loading the Install Media onto Flash drive
For the time it takes to burn a DVD with the Solaris install media, it's almost possible to copy the files onto disk using Solaris' loopback mount filesystem capability. The utility is lofiadm(1M) and is really useful for mounting ISO images already present on the filesystem and saves the hassle of burning media only to insert the finished DVD and remount it. Steps are the following to mount the Solaris install media ISO and copy them to the flash:
- # lofiadm -a /absolute/path/to/solarisdvd.iso (this should create a node /dev/lofi/1 which is reported on the command line)
- created a directory, e.g. # mkdir /mnt/solmedia and then run # mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/1 /mnt/solmedia (you can change directories into /mnt/solmedia and check to see that the media is indeed there.
- disable the volfs again by running svcadm disable volfs if you re-enabled it after the prior task of formatting the flash drive.
- Insert the USB flash drive then wait a second and run the rmformat -l to list the logical node. You might want to create a directory mount point (e.g. # mkdir /mnt/usbdrive) and then run:
# mount -o nologging,noatime [usbslice] /mnt/usbdrive
Remember that the [usbslice] is the same as the logical [usbnode] but we created slice0 on that flash drive so we swat the p0 with s0 (e.g. /dev/dsk/c3t0d0p0 -> /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s0).
- now simply change directories to /mnt/solmedia and copy everything over. I've used the command # cd /mnt/solmedia; cp -rP@ .??\* \* /mnt/usbdrive. And once complete, should put all the media onto the USB drive.
Note that with some flash drives, including this PQI, I had data errors. At least if the error occurs, Solaris will usually tell me and then I note the error in the package and try to re-copy it later. What's more insidious is if the drive doesn't report errors initially but then encounters a few errors during the install and fails to install, say some of the Xorg components or fails to run the post-install on the fonts and then your windowing won't be able to come up. More details below.
Booting and Installing with the flash drive
On one IBM/Lenovo laptop we tried, we inserted the jump drive and the system BIOS knew to boot from the USB drive immediately. On an Acer Ferrari 3400, I like others who've reported the same thing, had to go into BIOS and set the boot order to be from a Hard Disk. Not a USB zip, USB floppy, or other USB drive. And on a PCChips V21G system, I pressed F11 to get into the boot menu and then found the Generic USB boot drive under the +Harddisk boot sub-menu.
Once booted, it looks just like the DVD/CDROM install. Only, the install scripts for this media all are expecting the installation content to be mounted under /cdrom. And so the boot will proceed partially, and then exit to a #sh prompt when it can't proceed with the installation. The solution I found was to mount the flash filesystem under /cdrom. But finding the logical [usbslice] to mount is a bit tougher. The rmformat utility isn't in the installers x86.miniroot so that utility isn't available. The next best thing is to look in /dev/usb/ and do a full listing (ls -l mass-storage\*) and observe the path. You should see one or more entries that should point to the physical path in the /devices/ tree. Note the exact path, which can be tedious, but if we back out directories to ../dsk/ and then do a full listing, we should see a similar slice. We want to mount the path for slice0. This usually ends up being /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0, /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 or /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0. If you aren't sure, just give those 3 entries a try using this command as an example: # mount -o ro /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /cdrom.
To continue with the install, I think folks are recommending /sbin/install-solaris. But since we haven't gotten to the initial questions about hostname, networking, locale, etc., I've been using the /sbin/install-begin script. I hope someone reading this in the install group knows how to kicks this off again, and corrects me if this isn't the preferred way.
I was able to install on a couple of systems, and they booted, but Xorg failed to come up and I think it had something to do with corruption on a couple of font packages and Xorg drivers. Also, on a triple boot laptop, I was also having some issues getting the installer to go into Upgrade mode. It couldn't see the slice for Solaris, but it worked fine for a double-boot and . There's still bugs I guess, and some may be related to data corruption on these flash drives, which seem buggy. But it's not a bad start to get things to boot and come up. So that's progress. The next step is to look at adding some support into the script for install_media=[a local filesystem path] if someone hasn't done it already, and also to see if I can use a USB portable hard drive to see if this eliminates the data corruption errors.
In addition, the current Solaris install is fragile because it hard codes support (and therefore limits it) to /cdrom and nfs mount paths currently. I guess with access to the x86.miniroot for the installer, anyone might potentially add some support for USB drive mounting and installation off of that media with the right amount of clever scripting. That's probably a project requiring a whole weekend though, unless somebody's already done it.
Gotta run and pickup my new 2007 California fishing license and go fishing. Probably not something to hack this weekend.

We would have included Pickup trucks on this list but we fear that this would encourage too many idiots to leave their dogs in the pick-up bed as they sped down the highway. Just because your new F-150 has that convenient "man step" into the bed doesn't mean you have to turn it into a "dog step." That's about as smart as using a gas powered weed whacker to floss your teeth.
But if you are responsible enough it is true what they say—dogs do love trucks. But the following list, however, doesn't just talk about which models are easy to clean. These offer safety features, unique design elements and interior qualities that just struck us as very family friendly. After all, dogs are family. All of the following vehicles have been road tested for a week with a dog adopted from Boxer Rescue Los Angeles riding in the back seat wearing a safety harness.
2014 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen TDI
Trust us, when your dog goes with you everywhere you are going to want to buy a 4-door. This economical VW hatch is about as fun as a GTI when equipped with the 6-speed manual and has seat upholstery that is the definition of "dog proof." It's the perfect economy car for the single person with a dog and honestly any station wagon like the Acura TSX Sportwagen or new Volvo V60 make for perfect dog cars.
2014 Scion tC
You don't want a dog and a two door coupe, unless of course, it's the 2011 Scion tC. We have tested many coupes in our time but none have offered as wide an entry point for your dog to hop in on either side of the car. Then, both seats return to their original position! And this is all for just about 20,000 nicely equipped! If you require a two door coupe this is your best choice.
2014 Subaru Outback 3.6R
Sturdy, faithful and loyal—the Subaru Outback is the automotive equivalent of a 13 year old Golden Retriever. Just like that breed of dog this wagon really never goes out of style. The cargo area is positively commodious, the materials are sturdy and the standard all-wheel drive affords you go anywhere capability anytime.
Since most automakers are abandoning wagons, the Outback really is one of the best choice. Also, the interior feels like it was designed to take 10 years of abuse and come out the other side looking good. There is nothing flashy, just that time tested Subaru build quality. This wagon is also available4 with a 2.5 liter 4-cylinder that is deathly slow and has an obnoxiously noisy CVT automatic. Even dogs have standards and like to get to the park before sunset.
2014 Mazda CX-9 : This is the only three row SUV, or SUV for that matter, that offers a light tan leather interior option that is seemingly impervious to scuffing or paw marking after trips to the park or dog beach. Usually grey or black is a smarter interior color choice but in the CX-9 you can take your pick. All interior plastics are of very high quality (above average for a mainstream brand), the back seat is very roomy with easy to access safety buckles and most importantly it is actually very fast and fun to drive.
2014 Honda CR-V: A true industry stalwart that sells in huge numbers for a reason, the CR-V makes the list here thanks to a lowest in class step in height that will make it easier for anyone with an older or arthritic dog to get in. There is also a rear seat mirror mounted above the front seats so the humans can make sure the puppies are behaving in back. We suppose that was meant for children originally.
2014 Mazda3 : A huge and spacious rear seat with enough room for two 60 pound dogs to ride comfortably, optional leather interior that is both affordable and supremely durable feeling and a truly minimalist interior built from the best materials in its class ensures that the Mazda3 is easy to clean and is a favorite of any dog. We actually had to force a dog to get out of the 2014 Mazda3. After driving him around for a half an hour for no reason.
2014 Kia Soul : With prices starting as low as under $16,000 (but stretching to over $25,000), buyers can equip their new and stylish Kia Soul however they want. But no matter if you have leather seats, navigation or an Infinity sound system you will always get this Kia's smartly laid out interior, fine quality interior plastics, roomy cargo hold perfect to fit a dog crate and that great long warranty.
2014 Honda Accord/2014 Mazda6 (tied) : Family sedans are a huge market and quite simply the Mazda6 and Honda Accord are currently the best of the best. They both offer roomy back seats, high quality interiors, great value, rear seat climate control vents, easily accessed safety buckles and a fun to drive feel essential for humans.
2014 Lexus RX350/Cadillac SRX (tied) : As for sex appeal, we'd go for the SRX any day as human buyers but there is no denying the fact that the Lexus RX350 has a high quality interior that never seems to age, similar interior space to the Cadillac for either harnessed or crated dogs plus an air of elitist privilege. Come on, you know some dogs know they come from money and these two let them flaunt it.
2014 Hyundai Veloster Turbo : First off, the Veloster turbo is a fun car to drive but it also very practical with its full-size third door making it perfect for canine entry/exit. The cargo hold is also large enough for huge 80 pound dog food bags and its stylish. For the dog owner who refuses to drive something sensible.
2014 Acura MDX : The MDX is such a successful luxury three row SUV because it has all of the feel and features of competing brands with none of the feeling that it wasn't built to be abused by things like children or dogs. The MDX has an interior built to withstand nuclear explosions, a newfound high style that ensures it will look good to snobby human passengers and dogs as well as climate vents all over the cabin and a true feeling of impermeability. We are driving this right now and trust us, dogs love the 2014 Acura MDX.
Roxy in front seat of VW
In this photo we see our canine tester Roxy Hamel sitting up in the driver's seat of the Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen without a harness. It is also not smart to have a dog anywhere but the rear seats or cargo area as front airbags can easily kill even a restrained pet.
Daisy Mae Hamel harnessed in back of a Hyundai Veloster Turbo
This is perhaps one of the most unsung automobiles for possible purchase by dog owners. You know, the kind who take their dogs with them everywhere they go? Not that we know anyone like that. You can find harnesses like Daisy's online or at most major pet chains.
Indiana the dog says she only rides in the cab of pickups!
If you were a dog and didn't have any way to grab onto the side of a pick-up truck bed, do you think it would be fun to ride back there? We don't think so but if you do, clearly you aren't smart enough to own a dog.
