Hi Fei,

Sorry, while I still love Sun SPOTs, I don't work for Sun/Oracle any more. I recommend checking in with David Simmons on his blog (http://blogs.sun.com/davidgs/). He has some great how-to posts, and is always looking for new topics.

good luck

Dear Roger,
 Great article. I am working with sunspot and can not find some tutorial like this, because I am going to use sunspot connect to a relay to control a lamp , just a process of on/off. I am not a hardware person but really interested in this. I have no idea which pin to connect to a relay and what should I be aware. Can you give some advice or maybe a link to similar example, please.

 Thank you very much! I am looking forward to your reply!

Kind Regards,
 Fei

It's been a while; semester is starting here anew.
 Can someone indicate when Oracle/Sunspotworld
 (/anybody open source \*completely\* including CAD
 files & device programmer loads & source, if
 necessary!) will have Rev 8 available for purchase?
 We've been waiting over a year, IIRC for new production.
 At some point, even folks with as big a pool (200+ devices)
 as we have are going to get tired of cannibalizing & sticking
 in the replacement batteries I helped get available before
 the purchase of SUN by Oracle in as replacements.
 Info, please!

Hi,
 This is a great post, but it still doesn't answer me everything...

I've been reading about accelerometers for a day now and I still have doubts about what I want to make work. I know all the acceleration, velocity, distance stuff, but the practical (jokes:)) problems are always not so quite easy.
 I am working with an acc that sends me 1 byte, 2G range. It's a tiny thing and I wanted to use one axis only and move the mouse on the screen. Since I have a lot of positive/negative acceleration values, and I try to do a running integral (take last value + time difference\*velocity and same for velocity from acceleration) the result is hectic. Not to mention the whole trying to get a proportion with pixels... I've added the compensation for unit of the byte to the m/s2..

Can this even be done, getting the right direction from just one tiny signed byte of acceleration? Is physics failing me that bad that I don't see it?

Thanks for any advice...

That was very informative for my project. I am doing my masters and I am doing a project on designing a vehicle independent speedometer. For this I am doing research on gyros and accelerometers. I have gained enough knowledge towards achieving my goal although I would have to research more info on the accelerometer. If you could give me any sites where I could find more useful info on the gyros and accelerometer that would be helpful and of course your suggestions would be of great value to me.
 Thanks Roger

Marcus - doh! Thanks.

Eugeny - AGC? very good question. I looked into it and it looks as if the early tests most likely did have the AGC on. I believe the RSS values are measured before the AGC, but I should look into this more.

Robert - the only picture I have is the one posted here. I don't know if I have the actual data. I've been considering building a simple, poor mans version of this to do some measurements myself. I just need some more time.... story of my life.

Russell - The pattern was measured by some very expensive equipment in a special lab that I never saw. A friend was doing some work and needed something to test out his expensive equipment on, so we volunteered a Sun SPOT...

Hi to all,
 we can work on a major project here in Italy.
 Let me know if web can buy these Sunspot again(www.sunspotworld.com is down).
 Is There support in both technical and in stock quantity?
 Thank you very much it's very important to us.

Is the graphic where you detail the asymmetry in radiation pattern of the Sunspot available in more detail? Or is article available? Perhaps in a reference somewhere? I've been struggling to measure the same thing before I knew this was here and I'm running into an incredible amount of Rf noise in that band. Even up at the "non-interfering" channel 24 and 25 of the Sunspot.

Did you turn off the AGC during the RSS measurements ? Is it possible in Sun SPOT ?

Is it possible to has an access to raw I/Q values just after ADC or send raw data directly to DAC bypass O-QPSK chanin in Sun SPOT radio?

i found a little mistake in:

distance = p / c

the correct is

distance = p \* c

because (time)\*(distance/time) = distance

Phylogenic outline of the vertebrate olfactory system is summarized in the present review. In the fish and the birds, the olfactory system consists only of the olfactory epithelium (OE) and the olfactory bulb (B). In the amphibians, reptiles and mammals, the olfactory system is subdivided into the main olfactory and the vomeronasal olfactory systems, and the former consists of the OE and the main olfactory bulb (MOB), while the latter the vomeronasal organ (VNO) and the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB). The subdivision of the olfactory system into the main and the vomeronasal olfactory systems may partly be induced by the difference between paraphyletic groups and monophyletic groups in the phylogeny of vertebrates.

Charlotteans can take some comfort in knowing that even if the world as we know it soon comes to an end, their cultural heritage will remain intact. It seems that state officials have heeded the warnings of Reverend Harold Camping who has announced with biblical certainty that Judgement Day will occur on May 21, 2011.
According to Rev. Camping, May 21, 2011 marks 7000 years since Noah's flood. In biblical numerology, the number 7 means completion. The number 1000 can mean immortality and/or divine completion. 7000 means it is really, really, really the end this time. The exact date of the apocalypse is given by some deceptively simple math.
4990 (the validated date of Noah's flood) + 2011 – 1 = 7,000
Apparently the folks in Washington and Raleigh are taking the approach of the end of days quite seriously. The federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) has given grant funding to the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to administer the "Connecting to Collections Project." The goal of Connecting to Collections (C2C) is to:
" ... formulate a plan of action to assist the state's archives, museums, library special collections and historic sites with traditional preservation of collections and disaster preparedness and response."
To that end, on April 11, 2011 --- exactly 40 (FOURTY) days prior to doom's day, (C2C) will sponsor and conduct an Emergency & Disaster Preparedness workshop. The workshop will be hosted by the Charlotte Museum of History.
According to conformation form on Surveymonkey (www.surveymonkey.com/s/disasterpreparednesscharlotte), this workshop is for:
"for staff, board members, and volunteers who are interested in preserving and protecting cultural heritage when faced with emergency situations."
Is the fact that the workshop is held exactly 40 days before the time of sorrow and woe a mere coincidence? I think not. In biblical numerology, the number 40 is the number of is the number of the waiting, the preparation and of fulfillment. Oddly, there is no mention of this workshop on the museum's website, www.charlottemuseum.org/. Perhaps this is Charlotte's second best kept secret.

Sex Products Review: Toys For Us OnlineThis article is brought to you in part byToysForUsOnline.com
This week, the good people at ToysForUsOnline sent over some of their scrumptious toys for me to try out at my discretion, and try them out I did. What's great about many of the products is that they range from playthings for the tame at heart to contraptions that will unleash crazy fantasies. Of course, you don't want to throw your back out right away, nor do you want to make your woman so sore that she can't walk the next day (even though that would make you feel like the master of her domain).
As I've mentioned once before (and only once), incorporating toys into your sex life is a great way to spice up your romantic, as well as power, factor. So while I have the tough job of enjoying a little "plug and play" at home and then returning to my computer to fill you in on the fun, you get lucky because I've done all the leg work for you, so to speak. So for this week, here are a few of my favorite shwings.
|MY FAVORITE:Ultimate Lovers Kit
If you've always wanted to get yourself a couple of toys for some fun in the sack but weren't certain what you wanted, then this is the item for you. With an amalgamation of fun toys to try, not to mention a book that tells it like it is, now you and your woman can enjoy everything from good vibrations to anal ecstasy.
When I tried some of these gadgets amid a night in with my boyfriend, I have to admit that climaxing time after time wore us out. But there's no doubt that every time I think about what he did to me, and what I did to him, I feel like whipping out the kit for an encore.
So I did, and unfortunately, the batteries were dead in the vibrator, and the guide got all screwed up because we didn't seal the lube bottle well. And the dildo, well, let's just say it just wasn't the same.
The kit includes 1 premium multispeed vibrator, 1 eight-inch jelly dildo, 1 penis prolong ring, 1 bottle of Foreplay lubricant, and a guide to sexual positions.
If you and your woman are past all that "C-c-c-c-c-can you l-l-l-lick me d-d-d-d-down there?" business, then incorporating some nasty play into your already monstrous sexual antics won't hurt a bit... well it might, but she'll like it.
Because it's a somewhat daring kit to have, hopefully you and she have discussed the whole I've-always-wondered-what-it-would-feel-like-to-have- a -dildo-in-my-butt-while-you're-penetrating-me issue. Otherwise, I recommend that you talk to her about it before showing up uninvited with a multispeed vibrator.
Although the products are pretty basic, they nevertheless will give you a feeling of eroticism. However, the fact that the batteries have the lifespan of a mosquito didn't encourage me to bust out the kit anytime soon.
For more info on this product, click here.
|RUNNER-UP:Super Strap
Strap, like G-string? No silly, you can use this toy to play a little submissive game. Does she get squirmy whenever you bring your face close to her vagina? Then this strap will keep her in place. Do you tend to overtake the session at any point during sex because you need to be in control? She can put a stop to all that by tying you down to the bed until she's ready to unleash you.
Super Strap fits any bed and can be used on her or you for those times when either of you simply won't lie still. Not to mention, the whole idea of having a partner submit is quite attractive. Just ask any woman.
But of course, as with any product, this one had its downsides. To start, it hurt my wrists. What's worse is that it left some nasty marks on them afterwards. And that wasn't an easy thing to explain to my mom when I met her for lunch the following day.
Super Strap is a nylon strap that adjusts to any bed and serves to ensure that the tied partner doesn't have the luxury of stopping the free partner from doing whatever she wants. Uh, I mean they want. Attitude not included.
This is for couples who enjoy playing submissive games, as well as those who simply enjoy a tad of variety in their sex lives. Whether she enjoys playing the innocent victim or prefers having you in a position where she can do whatever she wants to your body, this is a great add-on to any sex session.
Just show up one day draped in leather, a mask and a whip, and go for it. Actually, I don't recommend that. Instead, maybe you can question her about her fantasies and inquire about whether or not she's ever had thoughts of being dominant in the bedroom. Grrrrrrr!
Yes, it's simple enough; a strap. But even if it doesn't look incredibly sexy on its own, it still isn't anything to sneeze at. Unfortunately, as big a fan as I am when it comes to being tied up, I hated having to explain those nasty markings on my wrists for weeks afterwards.
For more info on this product, click here.
|HONORABLE MENTION:Lovers Paint Box
What do you get when you bring sex and chocolate together? One hell of a happy couple, that's what. I have to tell you, my man and I haven't had that much fun since we played "virgin stripper." Not only do you get to paint whatever you want on each other's bodies; you get to lick it off and enjoy the sweetness of chocolate, and lick each other in places you've never ventured.
But be warned; chances are your tummy will end up hurting from the overload of sugar. And your sheets may never look white again.
Lovers Paint Box is a box that contains 2 ounces each of milk, dark and white chocolate, and includes a paintbrush. Bring out your inner artist.
When the sex with her is flawless, but you need to work on your art, you can kill two birds with one stone by adding a different shade of color to foreplay and perfect your ability to replicate a Dali.
When she comes out of the shower, put on your beret and ask her to lay her perfect, naked butt on the bed in your best French accent (or should I say "Freedom" accent?). Then, start painting letters on her back and have her guess what they are. When she's right, lick them off and start over. When she's wrong, make her stand in the corner repeating an apology... kidding, then it's her turn to paint you.
It may have been an awesome experience beforehand, but when the dust settled, we were left with stained sheets and a sugar rush. But hey, it was quite memorable.
For more info on this product, click here.
|Enjoy The Toys
Until next week, when I review another set of mind-blowing sex products, enjoy the lovemaking and remember to protect your little guy. Toys in the bedroom are better than toys in the playroom. Then again, I don't care where you have sex, so long as it's good.

A bill has been proposed in Oregon to criminalize cutting a worker's hours to avoid paying health benefits. The question is, what are the likely effects of this bill? Apart from the obvious, workers immediately not having their hours cut or job lost due to this law, here are the others, and they will make someone think twice before deciding whether it's a good law:
1. Attrition. No matter how many laws and voices try to ignore this simple truth, it cannot be avoided: a job will not exist if the required payment to it is less than its contribution. If firing someone because the job now costs too much is a crime, people might not get fired. However, when they leave, they won't be replaced, or they will be replaced with someone who has the reduced hours to prevent triggering the health care obligation. All such a law really does, then, is delay the cutting of hours.
2. Greater unemployment. A corollary of the attrition is that less jobs will be available. People will not get fired, but companies won't hire replacements, therefore greater unemployment
3. Less chances for workers. Although employers will not be allowed to directly fire workers due to cost, it can be made up in other ways. Such ways include reducing the time an employee has in training, which harms the workers' prospects of being retained. Another way is, if an employee messes up or breaks a rule, an employer might have otherwise been inclined to grant the worker another chance, but with the greater cost, the employer is now more likely to fire the worker. This increases the likelihood the worker will have no job.
4. Decrease in the quality of employment. Given the attrition and less hiring by companies, employers can now get away with cutting costs elsewhere that reduce the employees' quality of employment. Because those workers do not have a similar job available elsewhere, the employer is subject to less competition for workers. This results in more power for the employer, not less.
In short, an increase in attrition, unemployment, and a decrease in chances for workers and in the quality of their employment are negative consequences of such a law, and should make someone think twice before supporting it.

Hanging Out
I took this photo just before summer ended. These two look like old friends, relaxing and enjoying the last days of summer. Have a good new week, everyone!
Hand in Hand
I enjoyed watching this couple walk hand-in-hand down the sidewalk.
Everything for Free…
… With any donation.
I guess technically, it isn't really free.
Walking on 125th Street
It's fun to walk the streets of the city while playing with a hula hoop.
As this family waited for the bus, they were being entertained by the baby.
At the Crosswalk
Waiting for the walk sign.

Easter Parade/Easter Bonnet Festival 2014
The Easter Parade/Easter Bonnet Festival has come and gone.
Many gathered to show off their Easter bonnets and frocks.
There were different hats…
… for different folks.
There seemed to be more people, this year.
I got to the parade late, but there were still a lot of stragglers enjoying themselves.
Smiles and Easter Bonnets.
There were lots of cute kids in their outfits.
Lots of cute kids in elaborate hats.
Kids strolling down 5th Avenue with their parents.
Dogs also made an appearance at the parade. This one kept barking.
A man and his dog, enjoying the atmosphere.
I loved her hat and smile.
Many people wanted to take a photo with these two ladies dressed in green.
These two were in their Easter finest.
Green — a spring color.
Despite many dressed in spring colors, this couple wears all-black, well.
I believe it was a good day had by all.
If you'd like to see photos from 2012 parade, go HERE and HERE.
Spring is in the Air #3
Love, too!
Spring is in the Air #2
And so is love!
Spring is in the Air!
So is love!
A Lover of Parks
I continue to enjoy reading the engravings on park bench name plates.
The people, mentioned, always seem very interesting, like George Lewis — A Lover of Parks.
I like that description.
Dance Moves!
The DanceSport Challenge
Held at Columbia University.
It's always fun to see the dancers in their fancy clothing…
… and watch them, twist and turn.
Dramatic moves!
It's fun to see everyone having fun!
*By the way, you can see photos from the 2013 DanceSport challenge HERE.
Hi Everyone: I'm taking a short break from blogging here. I'll be back soon. See you in a couple of weeks.
A Nu Yawk Accent? Whaddya Talkin' 'Bout?
Recently, I spoke to a long-time blogging friend, for the first time, over the phone.
"You have a New York accent," he said to me, soon after I'd introduced myself.
That observation tickled me and I laughed.
I SO do NOT think I have an accent – especially a Nu Yawk accent.
Years ago, I was walking down a street in Venice, Italy, talking to my sister. A young couple walked past by, stopped, and then called out to us. The woman was quiet and the man cautiously asked, "Excuse me, are you from New York?"
When I affirmed that I was, he got all excited and jumped up and down.
"I knew it! I just knew it!"" He had one of the hugest grins I'd ever seen on a person's face.
He went on to explain, "When we passed you, we heard you talking and when you said the word, 'stupid', I knew you were from New York."
The couple beamed at us. They were tourists from the U.S. I don't remember where. The man's excitement that he'd correctly guessed where I lived, based on the way I spoke, amused me.
We smiled at each other for a few more seconds and then finally said good bye. The guy practically floated away, elated that he'd detected a New York accent on the streets of Venice.
A few days ago, I heard about a documentary, directed by Heather Quinlan, called "If These Knishes Could Talk: A Film about the New York Accent". Following the latest comment about my so-called New York accent, the movie perked my interest, so I checked out its official website for more information. It stars Penny Marshall, Alan Dershowitz and, of course, many New Yorkers. The film looks fun and funny and will premier at the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival on May 16, 2013, and later at the Hoboken Film Festival, June 1, 2013.
One MTA (transit) worker, interviewed in the film, said it best, "New Yorkers don't have accents — Everyone else has an accent".
LOL! I agree! 😀
You can see the movie trailer HERE.
Among the Cherry Blossoms
The sight of cherry blossoms make the city look extra special to me.
When the petals drop to the ground, it appears like falling snow.
I like this type of snow.
At Sakura Park in Morningside Heights/Harlem,
you can have your pick of a cherry blossom tree, under which to sit and enjoy the day.
There's so much to do among the Cherry Blossoms:
Have a picnic.
Gaze at the trees and enjoy the beautiful sight.
Practice soccer moves.
Rest after practicing soccer moves.
Share an embrace.
Strum soothing tunes on the guitar.
Read a good book.
Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere with the baby.
Sit, relax, stare up into the trees and enjoy the beauty of the day.
Even this American Robin is enjoying the beautiful spring day among the Cherry Blossoms.
Soccer Ball on Broadway
This young man walked past me kicking a soccer ball as if it were a very normal thing to do.
Mesmerized, I watched him kick his ball for five blocks.
There were a lot of people who walked towards him, but he managed not to kick the ball into them.
Fun to watch.
Going to the Park
Lots of people were out and about in the park to play in the snow.
I like that red sled.
This happened in December:
I was on my way to an appointment when I saw a man lying in the street with some people standing around him.
In case you were wondering, I pulled out my cell phone, first, to call for help before I pulled out my camera.
However, I noticed that several people had also pulled out their cell phones to call for help.
The man was knocked out. He did not move.
The people standing around him made sure that cars didn't pass by and run over him.
There wasn't much they could do. Everyone waited for the police and ambulance to come.
Although a car had stopped not far from him, in the middle of the street,
I'm not sure if he'd been hit by a car or not.
A few minutes later, a police car showed up.
As one officer checked the unconscious man,
another spoke to someone who seemed like the driver who may or may not have hit the bike rider.
Unfortunately, I didn't hear what was being said.
As the police officer conducted their investigation, the man woke up.
He looked like he would be okay. So, I continued on my journey.
Dancing the Paso Doble.
One December evening, I walked to the grocery store and passed by a theater. Loud dance music escaping for the inside caught my attention, and I stopped to see what was going on there.
Men and women, dressed up and twirled around the dance floor.
I decided to go inside the lobby and investigate what was going on. Luckily, no one stopped me and after a while, I walked in further and pulled out my camera to take photos. 😉
Excitement filled the atmosphere.
It turns out that this was a Ballroom and Latin Dance competition sponsored by DanceSport.
The dancers at these type of competitions are amatuers. In this case, they were mainly college students.
The judges watched closely, taking their job very seriously.
All the dancers seemed happy to strut their stuff and show their best dance moves.
Dancers waiting for their turn.
I had fun watching these two, especially the man. He was so theatrical/dramatic. They are pictured in the first photo at the top of the post, where they are dancing the Paso Doble — the dance between the matador and the bull.
Watching the dancers reminded me of the dance show, "Dancing with the Stars".
Taking a break.
All the women dancers had their hair done nicely. Some with big red flowers in them.
More judges taking their job seriously. Watching closely and taking notes.
More beautiful hair styles and accessories.
A display of dance shoes for sale in the lobby.
A dance outfit is not complete without some sparkling jewelry.
Men's dance shoes on display.
A man's dance outfit on display.
Let's go dancing, everyone!
Let's Go to the Movies
On a hot summer day, the movie theater is one of the coolest places to be. These people have the right idea as they waited on line to buy tickets to see a movie. It was a pretty long line.

Last year, it was all about the comedians and musical theatre performers. This year, it's more about those with political say. Jillian Keiley, artistic director of the National Arts Centre (NAC), unveiled the centre's 2014-15 English theatre season Tuesday morning, and explained to The Telegram how the season was geared around the members of this year's ensemble.
Jillian Keiley. – Telegram file photo
"We go across the country auditioning and meeting people. We had one or two in mind, and then we started adding to that," she said.
"This year, we're really focused on people who really like to think and talk about politics and think and talk about issues. They are very politically intellectual and always engaged in discourse and very involved that way. We built the ensemble season around them."
The NAC's Theatre Series will launch with three pieces featuring the ensemble: Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest," a Christmas production of "Alice Through the Looking Glass," which Keiley will direct; David Hare's "Stuff Happens"; "Take Me Back to Jefferson" and "Needles and Opium."
"'Stuff Happens is all about the Iraq war and what the path was that was followed to get to that.
"It's a very important show for this particular ensemble, because we have the players who really have the political bit to do it, and who are really great," Keiley said.
"'Alice Through the Looking Glass' is a Christmas show, but it's actually fairly political. It's a kids' show and it's kind of revolutionary. It has a lot of interesting relevance and almost religious statements about who we are and where we are in the world."
Other productions will include "Do You Want What I Have Got? A Craigslist Cantata," "Obaabarima" and "The Double," as well as children's shows "The Great Mountain" and Andy Jones' traditional Newfoundland fairy tale, "The Queen of Paradise's Garden."
"It's a pretty gorgeous story and a funny story, and I think it's such a treat," Keiley said of the latter.
"Andy Jones' capacity to tell a story to little kids is actually even greater than his capacity to tell a story to adults. I think he's a national treasure."
Apart from Jones, Newfoundlanders who will be part of the English
theatre season are Mary-Lynn Bernard, Deidre Gillard-Rowlings, Greg Malone and David Ferry, who will direct "Stuff Happens."
The NAC will also once again partner on collaborations with about 20 theatre companies and artists across Canada. One of those collaborations from last season, "Oil and Water," (which Keiley directed), is touring eastern Canada and will play at the LSPU Hall in St. John's March 13-23, before wrapping up in Ottawa at the end of the month.

Normally, at this time, in this space, I relive the season so far, and present to you the mid-season report card. But the problem is there is so much bad, and one game of relative good. The "best game" is obvious while the worst game is a crapshoot.
There is no MVP. I can't talk about best at position. There just isn't anything to draw on.
But there is a wanker of the midseason, and that has to be Vontae. As I said in another post, the guy simply hasn't been playing - and this after saying he believed he was part of the best defensive backfield in the NFL. He promotes himself and then grossly underperforms - that is the very definition of wanker!
But there are tons of other guys who deserve recognition: Marshall, Columbo, JT, Y Bell, and Clyde Gates top my list.
At 1-7, they are pathetic, but I listened to maybe 5 minutes of the Dolphin-produced-and-therefore-its-totally-asinine "Finsiders" show (while the station I was listening to was at a commercial; and before I threw up), and they said it "we've been in every game, so there's hope, and no reason why they couldn't go 9-7 on the year!" And that just makes matters worse. I know, you have to keep fans interested, but really?
Ugh. Sure, you only lost to the Broncos by 3, but the team imploded at the end. And that's kind of the same thing that happened against the Giants. There never was a chance against the Patriots, Jets, or Chargers. An inept, lackluster performance against the Texans and Browns. That's not being in every game. I just don't see that hope, or share that optimism.

Mid-season report card

A. Yes, it is set during WWII, mainly on pacific island maps.
About the Game
A. 24 players online.
A. Yes.
A. Yes, it is a PSN and Xbox 360 Arcade game available via download only. Also it will be on the PC.
A. About 565mb.
A. There is no plans for any, but things could change.
A. You're right about the size of the classic BF-maps and 24 players on the original Wake Island would be a cascade of fail. But it's also important to keep in mind that the maps are built specifically for 1943 - we only used the old maps as reference and in many cases we have added or taken whole features out.
We did a lot of testing early on to get the right size. Me (GVD) and Gustav (our gameplay designer) used to sit with a stopwatch clocking each other and the time it took to...
A. Head-on Conquest! Both sides must capture flag points and hold them until a ticket system runs out to win.
A. No.
A. A typical Head-On Conquest round time of 15-25 minutes.
A. For the 360 version it should be limited to 12 achievements that add up to 200 GS, as per Microsoft rules regarding all XBLA games. For the PS3 version, we have trophies and they are similar to the 360. But we also have our own awards: postcards and stamps.
A. No, BF1943 will not have blood.
A. You have unlimited ammo and regenerating health. When ammo runs out, it has a replenish timer that will regenerate ammo and health regenerates when you aren't taking damage.
Factions, Classes and Weapons
A. Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and United States Marines (USMC).
A. Yes, each faction will have 3 classes. The classes are the same between factions, but their weapons are slightly different. Read about the USMC classes and the IJN classes.
A. The USMC sniper has a long bayonet, M1942, pretty similar to a short sword.
A. The shin-gunto sword.
A. Both riflemen have shorter bayonets mounted on their rifles.
A. The IJN are using a German K98 instead of an Arisaka. This choice was made not out of ignorance but rather because of budget constraints and we could not afford to build the correct rifle. We had a German rifle and had to go with it.
A. Four maps total. ´Three of the maps, Wake Island, Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal will be available right away.
The 4th map, Coral Sea, needs to be unlocked by achieving 43 million kills total for each console. Click here to read about the challenge. The homepage of the website will have a total kills counter so that you can see the progress.
Purchasing the Game
A. It will cost 15 USD or 1200 MS points on the xbox 360.
A. Yes. A free trial version will be available once the game comes out. PC status of the trial is unknown though as is what the trial version will feature, but both PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the trial will be available when the game launches.
A. Summer 2009 for consoles and in early 2010 for PC. PC is available for pre-order now at the EA Store http://eastore.ea.com.
A. We have improved squad support in 1943. Four man squads, with the option to spawn on any squad member instead of flags. You can either join open squads or create your own squads by inviting friends.
A. The way it's set up is that you can't kick people from squads and you'll have to remake the squad (which is fairly simple). For squads you create yourself you just put set them to Private so only people you invite can get in.
A. If you choose not to join a squad then you are in team chat. But if you are in a squad, Squads can either be in private squad chat or remain in team chat.
A. Three different ways to spawn in BF1943: Auto (close to the action), Flag (of your choosing) or Squad (any member).
The Frostbite Engine
A. Frostbite engine. Similar to the one used in Bad Company.
A. Yes! I'd call it Frostbite 1.5 since we started before BFBC2 did, you'll get buildings destroyed to the foundation, but not like BFBC2 awesome Destruction 2.0! We have tried to make it better and with less of issues from BFBC1.
A. Yes! Tanks, light vehicles and fighter planes.
A. Five, two per carrier and one at a controlled base.
A. No, this game is historically correct in that sense at least.
A. There is no armor regeneration on vehicles. Infantry fix them with their wrench. There are also the classic repair stations in some places.
A. One driver, two MG gunners and three people in the hold (these can use their weapons).There are four landing crafts on each carrier and on Wake there is one or two placed in the lagoon.
They're pretty heavily armored and can stand a tank shell. They're more vulnerable to planes so the two guys in the MG seats needs to stay sharp. View the landingcraft stats here. (hyperlink to the landing craft page.)
A. You use both analog sticks, one for pitch/jaw and one for rudder. The amount of throttle effects turning radius and there is a sweet spot where you get optimal turning, meaning it does require skill without being insanely hard to stay in the air. There is a tutorial level where you can play around with all the stuff on your own to hone your skills, which includes planes.
A. If there is a free seat in the vehicle, yes.

F1 2012 feels like an F1 simulation and a video game, something previous attempts to virtualise the motorsport have treated as mutually exclusive. It's a great simulator, but also more accessible if you want to achieve something substantial without wasting half your weekend completing seventeen-thousand laps just to qualify.
I must confess that I pay lax attention, at best, to the real world of formula one. However, I've always been drawn to the video games, in much the same-way that I'm somewhat of a Fifa addict, but rarely watch an entire game of soccer (you see, I do watch football, so I couldn't use that term here...).
F1 2012 is the third iteration from Codemasters, and perhaps most noteworthy off the bat is its attachment of the '2012' moniker on a game actually released in 2012. As much as I like to see that, I've been corrupt by, well, everyone else, and did a double-take when it arrived on my desk, just to be certain that it is actually the new F1 game.
Names aside, its big new feature is the Young Driver Mode. Here, you're taught the basics of formula one racing and learn how to drive, let alone race, such a unique machine. It holds your hand through accelerating, breaking, turns that go left and some that go right, as well. After some more tutelage, you're thrown into the action to use some of the sport's more advanced techniques, KERS and DRS, without crashing into the other newbies.
Even if you've played previous F1 games, it's a nice refresher on how everything works, and what improvements have been made this year. Codemasters has polished up pretty much everything, and then there are the changes implemented to the sport over the past 12 months, giving purpose to the rather spectacular 45 minute tutorial, which never really feels like one. After passing with flying colours, you're free to start an illustrious career.
Once you're signed by a team, you'll have to crawl your way up to the top from the lowliest of ranks in the lengthy Career Mode. It isn't easy, and will make you fight to shave a millisecond off your lap times, at first without success. It can all come unstuck in the blink of an eye if you misjudge a corner by the slightest of margins or momentarily lose concentration. It's all so easy to toil away for ten laps to make up just two places, only to lose all that hard work and end up stranded at the back from a mistake that's corrected within a fraction of a second.
If you're less concerned about playing 100 percent by the real world rules, the limited rewind feature is magnificent. It allows you to rewind and fast-forward your current lap to find the perfect moment from where you can make it all right again. Once depleted, however, that's it for the race, so use them wisely.
Outside of the Career Mode, the Proving Grounds is where most of the fun is to be found. It houses the time trial modes and offers you more freedom to play with the teams and cars that you admire. It's complemented nicely by Championship Mode, another new addition that sees you race against six of the current F1 champions. While Career Mode takes a serious commitment as a formula one simulator, the Proving Grounds and Championship Mode offer just as much fun in more bite-size gaming sessions.
The F1 vehicles handle much the same as in previous years, but feel a little more polished. You'll need to keep concentration whilst racing at breakneck speeds as a small lapse in concentration will see you spin-out into a wall and perhaps even flagged for dangerous driving if you attempt a ridiculous 180 turn after veering into the gravel. I wish that was only a one time thing. Sliding around and wheel spin looks cool, but it will totally shred your tires, and that gravel detour will ruin any grip they had left. Newcomers and rusty veterans will benefit from an array of driver assists, namely the line and break recommendations, but also traction control and auto-breaks to get you into the swing of things.
Everything looks good without being noticeably amazing. Damage in particular is still underwhelming and the least realistic part of the package. However, rumours suggests that licensing may be to blame, and that we may never see full damage. Meanwhile the presentation isn't overly exciting, but it gets the job done.
F1 2012 takes you through its learning curve with a rather ingenious tutorial under the guise of a new mode. From there it's challenging and will punish the smallest of mistakes, but has some more accessible game modes if you want to drop in for a quick race. Formula One fans will not be disappointed, and with a wealth of content, there's plenty to keep you entertained until F1 2013 is actually released in 2013.

Category of launch vehicles.
Associated Launch Vehicles
Sea Bee
American sea-launched test vehicle. Seabee was a brief proof of principle program to validate the sea-launch concept for Sea Dragon. A surplus Aerobee rocket was modified so that it could be fired underwater. The rocket worked properly the first time in restrained mode. Later tests were made with various approaches to readying the unit for repeat firings. This proved to be so simple that the cost of turn-around was found to be about 7% of the cost of a new unit.
Sea Horse
American sea-launched test vehicle. The second phase of Sea Launch was to demonstrate the concept on a larger scale, with a rocket with a complex set of guidance and control systems. Sea Horse used one of 39 surplus Corporal missiles that Truax obtained from the Army and successfully demonstrated ignition in the ocean of a rocket stage.
Sea Dragon
American sea-launched heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle. Sea Dragon was an immense, sea-launched, two-stage launch vehicle designed by Robert Truax for Aerojet in 1962. It was to be capable of putting 1.2 million pounds (550 tonnes) into low Earth orbit. The concept was to achieve minimum launch costs through lower development and production costs. This meant accepting a larger booster with a lower performance propulsion system and higher stage dead weight then traditional NASA and USAF designs.
American sea-launched test vehicle. The Dolphin hybrid rocket (solid fuel and liquid oxygen oxidizer) was built by Starstruck (formerly ARC Technology), a predecessor to AMROC. The Dolphin included not only innovative propulsion technology but was also launched from a floating launch cannister at sea. One test article of the hybrid was successfully launched in the summer of 1984. But the project was backed entirely with private funds and when backing for further development was not forthcoming, the project folded.
American sea-launched orbital launch vehicle. Excalibur was a subscale version of Sea Dragon proposed by Truax Engineering in the 1990's. It featured the same attributes as Sea Dragon: low cost design (pressure fed engines), Lox/Kerosene first stage (combustion chamber pressure 24 atmospheres) and Lox/LH2 second stage (chamber pressure 5 atmospheres). Guidance would be by a combined Inertial/GPS system. An even smaller Excalibur S vehicle would prove the concept and place 500 kg in orbit.
American sea-launched orbital launch vehicle. SEALAR (SEA LAunched Rocket) was yet another attempt by Truax Engineering to get the amphibious-launch concept off the ground. The project received some Navy Research Laboratory funding in the early 1990's, with a planned first launch date of 1996. A production model would have been able to achieve orbit at an estimated cost of $ 10 million per launch. As with the earlier Truax projects, it did not achieve flight test status.
Excalibur Model S
American sea-launched orbital launch vehicle. Two recoverable pressure-fed stages.
American sea-launched orbital launch vehicle. Sea-launched stage-and-a-half liquid oxygen / liquid natural gas orbital launch vehicle for passengers or payloads of up to 4.5 tonnes.
Sea Star
American sea-launched orbital launch vehicle. Sea-launched microsatellite orbital launch vehicle for payloads up to 13 kilograms and a testbed for the planned larger Neptune orbital launch vehicle.
American sea-launched orbital launch vehicle. Proposed expendable, water launch, single-stage-to-orbit, liquid oxygen/hydrogen, low-cost launch vehicle designed to carry small bulk payloads to low earth orbit. A unique attribute was that low reliability was accepted in order to achieve low cost.

Also called beta hydroxy acid (BHA), this multifunctional ingredient addresses many of the systemic causes of acne. [1] For decades dermatologists have been prescribing salicylic acid as an exceedingly effective keratolytic (exfoliant), but it's also an anti-irritant because it is a derivative of aspirin (both are salicylates—aspirin's technical name is acetylsalicylic acid), and so it also functions as an anti-inflammatory. [2, 3]
Another notable aspect of salicylic acid for treating breakouts is that it has antimicrobial properties. [4] It has the ability to penetrate into the pore lining and exfoliate inside the pore as well as on the surface of skin, which makes it effective for reducing breakouts, including blackheads and whiteheads. [2, 3]
It is also well documented salicylic acid can improve skin thickness, barrier function, and collagen production. [2, 3, 5] As an exfoliant, in concentrations of 8% to 12%, it is effective in medications to remove warts. In concentrations of 0.5% to 2%, it is far gentler, and, much like AHAs, can exfoliate the surface of skin.

Last week, grocery, meat and CCK workers in Oregon and southwest Washington who are represented by UFCW Local 555 ratified new contracts that improve health care benefits, increase wages and preserve pensions. A key part of the contracts improve health care benefits by merging the local's health and welfare trust funds so that all UFCW Local 555 grocery, meat and CCK workers in Oregon and southwest Washington have the same health care benefits available to them. The new contracts cover 14,000 grocery, meat and CCK workers that are employed by Fred Meyer, Safeway, Albertsons and a number of independent employers.
"We are pleased that through the dedicated work of our negotiating team, we were able to present a comprehensive offer to our membership. While all contract negotiations represent compromise, I am confident that we stood our ground on our membership's core issues and values," said Dan Clay, president of UFCW Local 555.
Congratulations to all members on the new contract, and the hard-earned benefits it includes.

The richest 85 people in the world have as much wealth combined as half of the world's population. This is from Oxfam's latest report that focuses on the widening economic inequality. Oxfam, which is a well-respected agency, released their report out ahead of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, which begins tomorrow, according to CTV News on Jan. 20.
The report, which is titled "Working for the Few," will be presented at the WEF. The WEF is an organization that is independent and hosts the summit of business, political and academic leaders.
The executive director of Oxfam put the distribution of wealth in the world in simple, but astounding terms. Winnie Byanyima said:
"It is staggering that in the 21st Century, half of the world's population own no more than a tiny elite whose numbers could all sit comfortably in a single train carriage."
The report also estimates that $21 trillion is hidden by the world's richest people in off-shore accounts and unrecorded accounts that governments can't get at to tax.
The Oxfam report also states that in 29 of 30 countries, the tax rates for the richest people have gone down since the 1970s. This means that rich people pay less tax on money that they acquire.
Byanyima said that you first have to tackle inequality before fighting against global poverty. The fight against global poverty cannot be won until this is done first. She also said:
"Widening inequality is creating a vicious circle where wealth and power are increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few, leaving the rest of us to fight over crumbs from the top table."
Just the visual of a train car full of the 85 richest people in the world having as much money as half of the world's population really gives you something to think about.

In Notre Dame's quarterback battle, Malik Zaire won't settle for second fiddle
Will Everett Golson start come Aug. 30? Not if Malik Zaire can help it.
NOTRE DAME — While the buzz surrounding the return of Everett Golson fuels spring football, Malik Zaire won't sit quietly in the shadows.
In fact, he flat-out expects to be the man under center by this year's home opener.
"There will only be one guy starting Aug. 30 against Rice at Notre Dame Stadium," he said. "There will only be one guy on the field, and I believe that will be me."
The redshirt freshman's confidence oozes from the interview room and onto the practice field. During a scrimmage Saturday, March 22, Zaire dashed untouched into the end zone and raised his arms, waiting for a referee to signal the score. When the referee confirmed the touchdown, Zaire jumped into the arms of his teammates.
Throughout Saturday's practice, he side-stepped charging defensive ends with an ingrained reflex, knowing precisely when to throw the ball and when to tuck it and run.
Much of Zaire's thirst for the top spot comes from head coach Brian Kelly's own feelings on the matter. In January, Kelly said he wasn't "ready to hand everything over to Everett."
True, Golson has an 10-1 record as a starter and national championship game experience under his belt. But Zaire watched and learned from the sidelines in 2013 while Golson was suspended. In practice, he developed a rhythm with young receivers that Golson had never thrown to.
"My chemistry with the receivers is only getting better," Zaire said. "Last year it was a good start and it was definitely the roughest part of it, but it's definitely getting better."
Golson returned to Notre Dame stronger and steadier than ever, but he is still struggling to get timing down with his targets.
"I don't think he's feeling comfortable yet," Kelly said of Golson. "He doesn't have TJ (Jones). (DaVaris) Daniels isn't here. He's working with all new guys...An all new cast of characters."
Golson can feel Zaire is nipping at his heels, too. Kelly said their relationship — while friendly — isn't similar to what Golson shared with Tommy Rees, where Rees would sit down and teach Golson the offense.
"They're good together. They like each other," Kelly said. "Everett's not going to sit down and teach (Zaire) the playbook, though. ... These are two competitive kids. Malik wants to beat out Everett."
Kelly said that, while not an ideal situation, he hasn't ruled out playing both quarterbacks come fall. But if there's going to be a clear number one, Zaire knows the road ahead will be hard.
"It's always going to be an uphill battle at the end of the day going against a guy who has been there and done that in a sense," he said. "Being that it's an open competition, there are definitely some challenges I will have to overcome to get there. It's not going to be an easy ride."
- Both offensive lineman Christian Lombard (dislocated wrist) and wide receiver Will Mahone (broken foot) expect to be out four to six weeks following injuries this spring. Kelly said Lombard will require a pin to be inserted into his wrist.
- Kelly is high on a lot of young players but none more so than sophomore safety Max Redfield. Kelly said Redfield has "crazy, crazy, crazy ability. He can make a mistake and get himself out of it."
- While Kelly said all of his receivers could stand more polishing, he is most pleased with sophomore Corey Robinson.
"He does exactly what I ask him to do all the time and he does it right," Kelly said. "He may screw it up the first time, but you coach him and he does it right the second time. I love that kid."

TC TO LORD ASHBURTON ; 14 September 1850; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18500914-TC-LOA-01; CL 25: 212-213
Scotsbrig, 14 Septr, 1850—
Dear Lord Ashburton,
This metrical genius is entirely unknown to me;1 neither he nor any of his patrons, except Miss Eliza Cook2 whom Fame has told me of, ever came under my eye or imagination before. One sees well, as you say, that he is of the Laura Matilda school,3 not likely to do any good by prosecuting "Poetry": indeed, judging by his prose address and what other indications there are, I should doubt much whether he would ever carry a very heavy musket, of any kind, in the regiment;—poor fellow, he might perhaps be of use as a drummer (figurative for preacher, parson) or in some other such capacity! One cannot say; he himself hopes it; has aspiration in him,—which, as it comes out in this musical manner, may perhaps be taken as a virtue and the prophesy of some undeveloped merit, not as mere discontent and a crime? A small Gift of money, from such a place as The Grange, might properly enough be ventured on him;—and if there were any delicate way of bestowing it (which I suppose there is not) except as prepayment for a Copy of his Poems, it wd be a second good deed to discourage him from farther attempts in that carreer.4 Poor soul, he is a fellow creature, struggling, as we all do, in the midst of darkness, to better himself and get into clearer regions:—and so I will leave him to your tender mercies.
I am delighted to hear that the Tuesday weather was propitious; that her Ladyship's grand-to-do came off with due success! Many more such to you and her, and those that are lucky enough to depend on you! These things are not quite easy to do; yet they ought to be done,—they, and so many, many more which the Lords of this Earth are terribly negligent of in our poor time.
For myself I am at present the weariest, or probably it shd be the laziest, of all her Majesty's subjects. Never in my life did I feel such a passion for lying still at any price. Really I believe my liver and nervous-system are far out of order; and Nature herself perhaps prescribes this medicine to me. I sit, with some harmless reading or sometimes without any, plunged into convenient scraggy bushes, under shade of wild trees, "by melodious waterfalls," or at least clear-rushing Scotch burns; and look out into the Universe in the most wayworn manner. "To sit is better than to stand," say the red Indian sages; "to sleep is better than to wake;—to be dead is best of all!"— — It is to be hoped I shall rouse me by and by; and try to do some stroke of work farther before all end. To open my mouth, except upon compulsion, or make any effort at all: even that were something. If I can get with you to Paris in the end of Octr, how happy shall I be! That is really the most agreeable prophecy the future offers at present.
My Lady sent me a bag of Hampshire thistle-down, the other day;—intending probably that I should sow it here in Annandale? Alas, alas, I find we have plenty here already: no want of thistle-down in these parts either! Tell her Ladyship that I will repay the compt (perhaps in kind) before long. And so Adieu for this evg.
Yours ever truly,
T. Carlyle

CTS abatement request involves high-paying jobs
Average salary of $50,000 among the best the city council has seen that are part of abatement requests, official said.
ELKHART — The city council took the first step Monday night, July 7, toward approving what might be one of the more unique and impressive tax abatement requests the city has seen in recent years.
The council approved the initial resolution that opens the door toward a proposed seven-year tax abatement for CTS Corp., which plans to expand and add 14 jobs by 2017 or 2018.
While 14 jobs is not a large number, the positions will pay an average of about $50,000, according to Barkley Garrett, director of economic development for the city.
"It's not a huge number of jobs, but the wages are outstanding," Garrett said.
The company, which provides equipment for the auto industry, plans to invest $2.2 million as a result of the new product line.
Tim Masters, plant manager for the Elkhart facility, said the expansion involves a new production line that will make electronic accelerator pedals.
The average salary for the new workers would be around $24 per hour.
Compared to many of the salary levels associated with abatement requests, Garrett said that CTS's proposed salary level "ranks right up there with the best ones that we've had."
The council approved the resolution unanimously and will consider two more steps within a few weeks to finalize the abatement request.
Councilman David Henke applauded the longstanding Elkhart company, adding "As much as I'm very reluctant on tax abatement, this is one I'd have to say is very worthwhile."
The company manufactures sensors, actuators and other electronic components and has had a presence in Elkhart since 1902. Its clients, among others, include Honda and Ford, he said.
The proposed expansion comes alongside other changes. The company recently relocated its corporate offices a block or so to 1142 W. Beardsley Ave. and the company is in the midst of constructing a new a new analytical lab, Masters said.

Judge brands Watkins 'a deeply corrupting influence'
Sentencing Watkins, Mr Justice Royce described him as a 'sexual predator' and told him he was a danger to the public.
He said that Watkins told the author of a pre-sentence report of a 'desire to shock' and the report concluded Watkins presented a 'high risk.'
'Incredible amount' of data found on Watkins' computer
Detective Daniel Minto from South Wales Police was one of the officers who trawled through the vast amount of data found on Ian Watkins' computer. He said the sheer scale of the operation was the biggest challenge and described Watkins' as a 'technically switched-on individual.'
Watkins' victims face 'lifetime of damage' says NSPCC
Jan Pickles from the NSPCC says the children involved in Watkins' offences faced "a lifetime of damage." She says the case is not about "celebrity" but about children.
Watkins abuse case 'breaks new ground'
Trial judge Mr Justice Royce told Ian Watkins during sentencing that the case was one of the most horrific he has seen in court. Condemning the lead singer's sex crimes, some too distressing to report, in the strongest possible terms, he said Watkins was a dangerous sexual predator.
"Those who have appeared in these courts over many years see a large number of horrific cases. This case, however, breaks new ground. You, Watkins, achieved fame and success as the lead singer of Lostprophets.
"You had many fawning fans. That gave you power. You knew you could use that power to induce young female fans to help satisfy your insatiable lust and take part in the sexual abuse of their own children.
"Away from the highlights of your public performances lay a dark and sinister side. I am satisfied that you are a deeply corrupting influence, you are highly manipulative, you are a sexual predator, you are dangerous."
Offences have a 'devastating' effect on children
Nicola Bowes, forensic psychologist at Cardiff University, told ITV News that these types of offences are rare, but have a 'devastating' for the families involved.
CPS: Watkins 'ringleader of terrible conspiracy to abuse'
Suzanne Thomas, senior Crown Prosecutor at CPS Wales, speaking after the sentencing Watkins was the "ringleader" of a "terrible conspiracy" to commit "appalling crimes of abuse against young and defenceless victims."
'Most disturbing evidence I have seen' says detective
The detective leading the investigation into Ian Watkins says the evidence was the 'most disturbing' he has seen in his career.
Police are urging anyone affected by the case to contact them on 02920 634184 or the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000.
Correction: Watkins to serve 29 years in prison

Watkins jailed for 35 years for child sex offences
Judge blasts Watkins 'sickening and incomprehensible'
In his summing up comments ahead of sentencing, the judge said Ian Watkins and his co-defendants committed "sickening and incomprehensible" crimes.
The details of the offences, many of which have been two graphic to report, were condemned in the strongest possible terms by the judge, as he reflected on how the singer used his power and celebrity to "partake in insatiable lust."

All the current uses of Apache / Derby are truly astounding in the variety of applications. Those who have not had a chance to take a serious look are missing out. Sun Microsystems Inc. distributes Derby as Java DB, independently and with the JDK, beginning with JDK 6.

I have a ubuntu Server 11.10. I have setup SAMBA.
I'm using Mac and on the left panel of finder there is a heading called shared. All the servers and computers that are connected on the network are shown there.
Is there a way on the ubuntu Server to disable the broadcast of it's availability so it doesn't show up as an active server. So You can only access it if you know the IP address

Kelly Blazek, the woman who was named "communicator of the year" didn't live up to that honor when she sent a dismissive and condescending email to a young job seeker. That email reply went viral after the job seeker posted the reply online for everyone to see, according to MSN News on Feb. 28.
Kelly Blazek is the founder of the online Cleveland Job Bank, which she runs for marketing communications professionals. Her award of "communicator of the year" gave her much notoriety in her field. She was bestowed that honor by (IABC), the Cleveland chapter of International Association of Business Communicators, in 2013.
When Blazek accepted that award in December, she said in her acceptance speech:
"I want my subscribers to feel like everyone is my little sister or brother, and I'm looking out for them."
According to Entrepreneur, IABC is getting "its own crash course in disaster PR." As those kind and caring words in Blazek's speech sounded great until she was put to the test and someone reached out to her for some help.
When Diana Mekota reached out to Blazek on the social network LinkedIn, she asked Blazek if she could join the job band listserv. Mekota detailed her qualifications. The "communicator of the year" wrote back a jaw-dropping reply. Blazek wrote:
"Apparently you have heard that I produce a Job Bank, and decided it would be stunningly helpful for your career prospects if I shared my 960+ LinkedIn connections with you – a total stranger who has nothing to offer me."
She continued with:
"I suggest you join the other Job Bank in town. Oh wait – there isn't one."
Mekota was shocked at this reply from a woman who is considered highly professional in her dealings with others. She decided to share the email online and soon it went viral. Blazek's apology was issued within hours of the email being posted online. Blazek wrote:
"I am very sorry to the people I have hurt. … The note I sent to Diana was rude, unwelcoming, unprofessional and wrong."
Apparently Mekota wasn't the only one that had gotten a rude reply from this "communicator of the year," as two other people have since come forward to say that they too had similar communications with Blazek.
