Nerdcore and Core 77 report on the Blackbird electric car by the mill: Just a black body with markers and sensors, its form can be adjusted to resemble the target car, and traction, speed and other properties can be programmed. After filming, a digital chassis is then inserted in post-production.

Hackaday writes about strategies to counter-act the effects of to getting old: Using a light with magnifier or a similar head band to see more clearly, a fume extractor and mobile arm rests to minimize hand tremors, writing down ever more stuff, and even eye surgery and meds where necessary.

Photonics and Heise [de] link to a Fraunhofer IPMS (Institute for Photonic Microsystems) press release on a camera prototype with two image sensors on different spectral bands behind a single lens. While details are scarce, apparently a specialized mirror steers light rays from different bands towards either sensor.

After the lightfield photo camera Lytro Illum (80 Mrays) comes the Lytro Cinema video camera (755 Mrays at 300fps), as Engadget reports. This means refocusing and, more importantly, better depth information for 4K (~8 MP) over ~90 micro lenses. The effect: Refocus effects that are not possible in actual lens hardware, and better 3d data for visual artists to work CG with. Unlike the 1K EUR Illum, the Cinema will be in the 100K EUR price range.

Peta Pixel reports on the blackest black: Surrey Nanosystems have invented a material named VantaBlack consisting of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes that bounce photons inside them until they turn into thermal energy. At 0.035% reflectance, e.g. the dot of a standard red laser pointer just vanishes. For comparison, very dark black coating arrives at around 1% reflectance.

On Peta Pixel, Doug Jackson recounts examples of him getting still frames from cinematic movies, and analyzing them in terms of how the lighting was produced and which effect was intended. The primary tools are stage lighting equipment and various types of reflectors. Portrait lighting is covered by Felix Barjou.

Anton Orlov explains why a lens with long focal length is better for portrait photography: If the camera is far from the subject, all facial features have nearly the same distance to the sensor. If the camera is very close, e.g. the nose is a lot nearer to the sensor than the rest of the face, taking proportionally more pixels and enlarging the nose artifically.

Researchers from USA/Germany have combined Time-of-Flight cameras and the Doppler effect (video). In ToF, photons with a specific wave length (phase) are emitted and the phase shift is measured. When an object is moving towards or away from the camera, the Doppler effect changes the wave length itself (not just shifting it). The prototype separates the two effects, and provides depth and z-motion as output.

For one or multiple (possibly moving) cameras, structure from motion (SfM) estimates the camera position and direction. Alongside VisualSFM and Bundler (two applications), Theia is an open-source C++ library devoted to the same goal.

Nerdcore points to a Timothy McSweeney article on language engineering to create ambiguity in sentences, moving from the classic "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" to the final result "Speed was involved in a jumping-related incident while a fox was brown" in 10 or so easy steps.

Color photography captures light wave lengths in the red, green and blue bands. But what happens when you choose ultra-violet or infrared as filter in front of your camera sensor? As Tom Leveritt and Peta Pixel report, the shorter-wave UV recording shows freckles and sunburn much earlier than RGB photography, while the longer-wave infrared recordings (Peta Pixel) smoothe the skin.

Petapixel links to a RocketJump video on how to use the Sun for photography lighting: Backlighting on sunrise/sunset, using a bounce ("reflector") to accentuate, and using a bedsheet ("softbox") to remove harsh shadows particularly for the Sun at noon. Also usable: Ikea articles, and posing tips by Lexia Frank.

Petapixel reports on the MIT Modulo Camera concept: Each pixel records photons as usual, but when saturation is reached, the pixel is reset to zero. The number of overruns is stored per pixel. In the end, an HDR image can be built, and tone mapping can be applied.

Normal cameras shoot well around ISO 10.000. Peta Pixel reports on the Sony a7S working well around 400.000 ISO and on the experimental Canon ME20F reaching 4.000.000 ISO, beating even EM CCDs (EM = electron multiplier). This means practically shooting in moonlight or less is possible.

National Penn Bank is no longer doing business under that name because it has been merged or acquired. See the successor institution BB&T.
|Featured Account Options
The people in the banks themselves are great, but if you ever have to call the customer service phone number BEWARE! These people obviously hate their job and they will take it out on you. I've had to call the link twice for my credit card and it took me over a year to cancel my secured card as the reps told me they had cancelled it and didn't bother to actually do it and so I was being charged all kinds of fees for a card that was supposed to be cancelled. I still haven't received my $300 refund check after 2.5 months.
I've had to call the support line as well for my online banking account which also took many months just to set up as the website kept locking me out of the account. I finally got it set up and i am STILL getting locked out of the account!! I called the support line several times and got hung up on EVERY SINGLE TIME. I was nice and spoke kindly to everyone but they either hung up immediately, snapped at me when I was in the middle of explaining my issue and then hung up, or rambled on in gibberish for a few mins and then hung up. There is no other way to get support. I tried the email option, but they only told me to call the line again. I told them about my issue with calling and they just continued to repeat "call the support line" over and over and over without actually reading my emails and then eventually just stopped responding all together. I tried calling again only to be hung up on AGAIN! I just want to be allowed into my account. I have no idea why I was locked out in the first place!
Avoid this bank, they will hurt you. During the downturn they used very heavy handed tactics to force their best customers to payoffs. They brought in near goons from northern Ner Jersey with no connection to the local markets and recommended loan sharks as a way to pay them off. Many small to medium size businessmen were really hurt by these irresponsible banking practices and I would never recommend them to anyone!
National Penn has, over the past two years, improved their financial reports greatly. However, they improved their numbers by sacrificing customer quality. They preach local is better, but they only care about their big business accounts. If you're a person who is struggling do not expect any help, or lenience from any of their branches. They treat employees horribly also. They fire good employees over 15 cents, and refuse to take into consideration the employees opinions. National Penn demands much more of their employees then they give back to them. The only thing National Penn Bank and its affiliate banks care about is posting a good balance sheet and financial reports. If you, as an average person, are looking for a new bank DO NOT pick National Penn Bank.
This bank is horrible. There are always so many changes in policies. In 4 years, they changed my ATM card three times. The new card was sent in a blank envelope and was unexpected. Yes, it may have been irresponsible of me not to open the mail to check, but two of the three times they changed it, I didn't know until after I called the Customer Service number to ask why my card was declined. The first time it was changed, I never received the card in the mail. I had automatic payments through my Debit Card, which were declined that month as well, giving me late fees. Then I had to wait for a week to get the new card in the mail and I was stuck with a card that was not working, even though the expiration date was more than a year later. Also, customers of this bank are no longer allowed to choose their PIN. It is assigned to you. Too many changes, too often. The third time this happened, I decided to just change banks since I had to call my insurance company, cell phone company, and TV provider with updated payment information. The convenience of the bank being in grocery stores and being open on Sundays is not worth the hassle of all the changes.
I have been a large National Penn Bank Borrower for over 12 years, always paying perfectly. In good times they lent money always talking and advertising about the relationship. As soon as things got tight in this economy they started there very heavy handed collections threatening default unless we paid them down and off. We paid them down by Millions, all the time using legal threats and very heavy handed tactics, not sure even if they were legal or not. They are there in good times, but when you need them to work with you, they dump you. Squeezing the life of you. They took TARP money to help the people not kill them.....
We do not have health information for National Penn Bank, because it is no longer an operational bank.
Sorry, we do not have rate data for National Penn Bank.
Sorry, but we do not have location data for National Penn Bank. Its headquarters is located at 645 Hamilton Street - Allentown, PA 18101

Tips On Packing For Hawaii
Everyone coming to Hawaii on vacation should come prepared. Researching travel tips is a great way to start getting ready to and make the most out of your trip. While packing is dreaded by many, it has been mastered by few who have shared their wisdom. Here are a few really helpful tips on packing for Hawaii.
Click here for a printable PDF (2.3MB)
What to do before your tripKeep a master list handy — Save your packing list some place convenient. I like to use Evernote to store travel notes, it's easy to use and accessible everywhere I go. Make a list of things to do around the house — For example, call the pet sitter, place your mail on hold, and take out the trash before your trip.
Tips on packing for Hawaii Pack sunglassesAgain, it's going to be sunny when you step off the plane, or first thing in the morning if you arrive at night. It's also a good idea to buy a pair of cheap sunglasses at the International Marketplace for taking to the beach or going on an afternoon sail if you don't want to ding up your nice pair.
Pack comfortable shoesIf you're going hiking, pack hiking shoes. Walking a lot? Bring athletic shoes. In Hawaii, everyone wears slippers (sandals), remember to pack these as well. It's also a good idea to pack a pair of dress shoes if you plan on upscale activities like a sunset dinner cruise.
Pack appropriate clothingMen — T-shirts, polo shirts, shorts, one pair of long pants and one lightweight jacket is perfect. Yes, bring long pants and a light jacket, the weather can be cool in high altitudes and in the evenings. Women — Shirts, polo shirts, lightweight tops, tanks, skirts, shorts, a pair of slacks and a jacket is ideal. Tip: Laundry machines are abundant in Waikiki. Pack light.
Pack two (2) swim suitsPack one suit in your check-in and one in your carry-on luggage. If your suitcase gets lost, you can still swim at the beach while you wait for your luggage to arrive. Plus, you can swim in one pair while the other pair is drying.
Don't pack expensive jewelryYou may be tempted to bring fashionable jewelry on vacation, but beware: expensive accessories require extra careful security and can easily be lost at the beach. Instead, pack simple pieces of jewelry or buy affordable Hawaiian jewelry when you arrive.
Pack toiletriesRemember your toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, hair brush, and anything else you need. Tip: Ask your hotel if they provide free toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, razors, shaving cream, iron and ironing board, hair dryer.
Pack medicationsDon't forget to bring any important prescription medications. It's also a good idea to have your doctor's information stored in your phone in case of an emergency.
Pack expensive items in your carry-onAlways pack cameras, laptops and electronics in your carry-on luggage. You should carry these with you at all times when traveling through airports.
Pack important documentsPlace you driver's license, insurance card, flight information and passport (if traveling internationally) in a carrying case reserved for important documents. Tip: Keep your important documents close by when traveling.
Pack something to readSomething to read—pass the the time on the plane reading a good book or magazine.
Pack snacksBecause your airplane carrier might charge you $5 for a pack of Oreos.
Pack a refillable water bottleYou can fill this up after passing through airport security, that way you won't have to spend $3.00 on a bottle of water. It also reduces the amount of plastic you use!
Pack a cameraBring the camera you are most comfortable with: an iPhone, SLR, or film camera. It's important to pack a camera that you want to carry with you every day, because you will enjoy using it every day.
Pack chargers for your electronicsPower up your phone and laptop the day before traveling, then be sure to pack your chargers that night. It's easy to forget these on the morning of your flight.
Buy these items when you land in Hawaii
- Sunscreen and aloe gel (helps soothes burns)
- Beach towel
- Beach mat
- Slippers (aka sandals, flip flops)
- Batteries
- Hat
Pack appropriate items for your activitesIf you've booked a tour in Hawaii, plan to pack any special items required for your tour. For example, if you are going swimming with dolphins off the west coast of Oahu , pack (or buy) a waterproof case for your camera.
Pack empty spaceRemember to leave space in your luggage for souvenirs and items you buy while shopping in Hawaii.
Password protect your phoneSet a password lock on your smartphone. If you lose your phone, no one will be able to access it.
Double check your packing listI've already listed these, but always double check that you have the following:
- Driver's license
- Passport
- Flight Confirmation Number
- Cash, Credit Card, and/or Traveler's Cheques
- Rental Car Information
- Hotel Confirmation
- Prescription medications
- Health and vehicle insurance cards

BlackBerry Z30 announced: 5'' 720p display, 2GB RAM and Snapdragon S4 Pro
0. phoneArena 18 Sep 2013, 06:12 posted on
The BlackBerry Z30 was announced moments ago during a rather mysterious event in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
72. vangeodee (Posts: 10; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
False. Price hasn't been even announced yet, don't make hasty assumptions.
You never know, BB could pull a fast one with this. Plus, more expensive silicon does not necessarily mean a better phone. Price to performance ratio matters; spending more for the "same" user experience is just stupid (IMO).
If an android manufacturer (say, Samsung or Sony) release a new phone using last year's flagship specs (S4 Pro-quad, 720p, 4.5-4.7" screen) and price it reasonably at the mid range segment, say around $350-$400, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
The difference between last year's flagship specs and this year's are so minuscule (user experience wise) it would be hard to tell the difference!
People are just too vain.
84. picka_vi_materina (Posts: 174; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
That's my whole point. People buy into the "new model is much better" crap that they disregard the bigger picture. User experiense wise, does the S4 really provide that much more that requires you to throw away your S3 and spit on it? And let's not even include the price difference.
I guess people do feel secure when they have the latest but have no actual use for it. They really need to stop supporting this non innovative new devices that release every month.
"More money than sense" mode is on these days.
14. HTCOE (Posts: 632; Member since: 20 Nov 2011)
good price then good results. it's a nice phone overall.
15. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
If it was guaranteed to be supported for one and a half to two years, I might grab one as a back up phone.(might is operative word)
Otherwise, we're witnessing the rearranging of deck chairs on the titanic.
21. Tazer2365 (Posts: 52; Member since: 28 Jul 2012)
Why didn't they release this phone from the start of the year?! Surely they wouldn't be to the point where they are today which is almost out of business, if they would've released this phone earlier. R.I.P Blackberry
22. taikucing (unregistered)
this is what I wanted since a long time ago, a quad core BB with big display. I have the same hope with other commentators here, I hope it won't be overpriced.
720p 5 inch display is enough for people. it's still better than iPhone display.
78. Kishin (Posts: 704; Member since: 30 May 2013)
Iphone is only 4'' with 326ppi
23. jamesish (Posts: 13; Member since: 15 Sep 2013)
If this was released 2 years ago it would be a different story. Shame shame shame.
24. mrturner (Posts: 16; Member since: 10 Sep 2013)
Just a high-midrange phone.
A fair attempt but a fall in standard..
27. sunnyfpy (Posts: 89; Member since: 12 May 2013)
A little to late,obsolete already...............
30. anirudhshirsat97 (Posts: 408; Member since: 24 May 2011)
I like blackberry phones. They are great to use. Always have been.. it's just their price. It's beyond stupid. In what universe is Z10 more expensive than an S4/one...oh wait. ..
31. user996 (Posts: 215; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
too late for BB
33. ady_lad (Posts: 82; Member since: 17 Jul 2013)
Looks like a very decent handset. I think that Z10 is a very good phone too, but wrong pricing and while I wouldn't have minded buying one if it was cheaper, it was no match to the HTC One in terms of value for money a few months ago.
35. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
To late BlackBerry!
Also since BlackBerry is dying, I don't suggest to buy any new BlackBerry device since it may lose support really fast.
42. thedarkside (Posts: 652; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
blackberry just needs to die already.
45. BigRed83 (Posts: 144; Member since: 19 May 2008)
No US release indicators & BlackBerry wants to be sold by the end of November. Who'll support this device? This is as bad as the two prior idiots (I mean co-CEOs) killing BB7 by talking about version 10 just after 7 came out. BB was great, just managed into the ground.
46. MickLuvHP (Posts: 23; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
BlackBerry 10 devices are actually 1 of the smoothest that you can find! Holding 1 Q10 & Note 2 now and even though Note 2 have a quad core processor, it still lacks compare to Q10! Plus the OS is great, compare to android as its optimize for all the BB 10 Phone! Look forward to holding a Z30 soon, after Q10! ((: The only thing that it lack is the apps section, but with the increasing apps and sideloading, this can be solved too! (:
49. MickLuvHP (Posts: 23; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
To those that say BB sucks or its obsolete, I think maybe you should find a BlackBerry promoter/sales person in your country and let them do a demo on a BB 10 phone for you! I assure that you'll change your perception of it! For now, just hope that the pricing isn't too steep.
50. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
This phone would be more relevant if it were made a year ago. I like what they're doing, but it'l be hard for Blackberry to sell this phone when you have Apple and Samsung dominating the market. I wouldnt buy this phone, but I hope that Blackberry can bring back some of their former customers with this phone
51. Tomfromsouth (Posts: 76; Member since: 02 Apr 2012)
The biggest problem I have is (no its not the specs or software) they've put no effort into improving the camera. I think all the manufacturers have gone to great lengths to improve. HTC - ultra pixel. Samsung (increased mp count). Sony (increased mp count). LG ois etc etc.
They're honestly bringing nothing to the table
62. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
So it basically has the same hardware as current Windows Phones but a 5" screen. If/when Microsoft buys them, the transition to WP will probably be easy.
What is going on with the first description of the hardware, especially the S4 Pro?! "This includes the 5-inch 720p (295 ppi) AMOLED display, the largest of any BB phone, and also the now aging aged Snapdragon S4 Pro with the four CPUs running at 1.7GHz. Blackberry is yet to shed light on whether we're talking about a dual-core or quad-core, though the less potent version seems likely". The S4 Pro is dual-core for Windows Phones and some Androids, and the new version is quad-core like in the new Nexus 7, so you can't say it has four CPUs AND dual-core, it's one or the other (likely dual-core since BB10 doesn't need the quad-core and BB is running out of loonies). Also, "aging aged"; pick one, not both.
64. Sonny_09 (Posts: 49; Member since: 24 May 2013)
It's sure odd seeing a Blackberry device being launched at Kuala Lumpur. Anyone knows what lead to that event being held there? ( - a Malaysian)

Not going to get too excited but
Reading around on a dutch forum and there was talk about a possible 4 man tournament at the Yokohoma vent in March between Spong, Karaev, Saki, and Manhoef.
Now I don't really see this happening for a couple reasons. For one I don't think It's Showtime management along with a couple other management companies would ok it with Spong and Saki fighting in May. Also what really would be a point unless K-1 is coming out with a LHW division and this was for the title. But I would assume if that were the case information would have been leaked out about it.
If it did come true though, that would be a very good tournament. But I still go with the thought that Spong will get matched up against Karaev and Manhoef will get either Saki or Teixiera
Dude, I'm getting excited lol i hope this happens..

Semantic Interoperability in the Securities Industry: Context Interchange Mediation of Semantic Differences in Enumerated Data Types (WEBH)

February 2002
MIT Sloan Working Paper No. 4396-02
Using securities industry examples, the context interchange mediation knowledge architecture is applied to interoperability problems for enumerated data types, such as codes and other symbols used to represent conceptual distinctions. Ongoing efforts in the securities industry to develop new XML-based standards for information interchange are examined. Using components representing similar securities information, drawn from different but complementary securities standards and
sources, example problems of information interoperability are examined. We show that transforming data representation into an autonomously specified context model and thence into a general domain ontology allows successful interoperability in several ways depending on how each context is explained to the mediator.

Fabulous soup, my first ever cooking with soy milk. I had cauliflower in the fridge so I made it a cream of broccoli and cauliflower soup. I used the florets of one head of broccoli (plus the top of the stems) and 1/2 head of cauliflower, turned out yummy!
Fantastic soup! I admit that I usually don't make soup until I notice the vegetable drawer needs some attention. But this soup is so good that I'll be buying broccoli just for this recipe. Heck, I might even plant broccoli in the garden hoping for a bumper crop and then needed to freeze gallons of this soup! I used almond milk in place of soy milk, Bragg's for the soy sauce and 2 tsp of dried basil. Was just perfect. Thanks!!

Charlyne Yi
Jump to
After attending and dropping out of UC Riverside, Charlyne Yi began performing her own unique brand of stand-up comedy on stage with the Upright Citizens Brigade and with her own "The Charlyne Yi Show. " Her comedy doesn't rely on typical joke telling, but instead on performing silly songs and magic tricks with audience participation. Despite how divisive her comedy is for audiences, Yi caught the eye of Judd Apatow, who cast her in his 2007 comedy "Knocked Up" as one of Seth Rogen's stoner friends. She was only in the movie for a couple of minutes, but made a lasting impression. That same year, Yi also guest starred in the comedy sitcom "30 Rock" and on the crime procedural "Cold Case." In 2009, Yi made a splash at the Sundance Film Festival with the feature "Paper Hearts," which she co-wrote with director Nicholas Jasenovec. In it, Yi plays a fictional version of herself who is making a documentary about romance. She meets Michael Cera, playing a fictional version of himself, and the two fall in love. The film mixes fact and fiction in a way that is a hallmark of her approach to comedy. She joined the cast of the medical drama "House" for its eighth season in 2011, playing Dr. Chi Park.

MARTINSBURG - With Berkeley County's regional jail costs accounting for approximately $3 million of the county's budget, the county has paid close attention to the West Virginia Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Authority's recent effort to reduce jail costs throughout the state.
At Thursday's Berkeley County Council meeting, John Doyle, representing the regional jail authority, presented an update of the changes and new initiatives the W.Va. Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Authority has implemented to improve functionality and reducing costs for the organization and the regional jail system.
"The last couple of years, the Regional Jail Authority has spent a lot of time talking with folks like yourselves and municipal officials all over the state to try and improve operations," Doyle said.
From those talks, Doyle said the regional jail authority has focused on improving eight areas of operations including reducing overtime, improving the organization's financial system, employee recruitment and retention, information technology and facilities improvement plan.
While different programs and initiatives have been implemented to improve each focus area, the Regional Jail Authority's primary function is to create more uniform policies systemwide rather than each regional jail having a different approach to elements common to all jails like employee purchasing.
"Some serious purchasing controls have been established and there's been a two-thirds reduction in money spent by employees of the Regional Jail Authority on their purchasing cards. It's dropped from $1,064,000 in 2012 down to $365,000 in fiscal year 2013," Doyle said.
While some measures may have an upfront cost - like hiring a human resource manager for each regional jail instead of one manager for all of the jails - Doyle said many changes will result in longterm savings.
"We think we can reduce overtime through scheduling changes to where we can save about $3 million a year," Doyle said.
When discussing overcrowding in regional jails, one of the greatest concers for both the organization and Berkeley County, Doyle said the recent legislative session yielded promising legislation in Senate Bill 371, which directly addresses jail overcrowding.
"Senate Bill 371 says 'we're not going to be so quick to lock people up for what we consider relatively minor crimes, especially if they're nonviolent.' ... In the future, we think in the next three years, it's going to lead to the elimination of much of the overcrowding that we have in the regional jail system," Doyle said.
While the regional jail authority's efforts have improved the organization's operations and reduced costs statewide, Deborah Hammond, county administrator and member of the regional jail committee, said Berkeley County has also seen measurable savings specific to the county.
"What we know for a fact from measurable standpoint, in the past two months in comparison to the past two years, the number for the regional jail bill is below what it has been. We've definitely seen an improvement," Hammond said.
The August regional jail bill is $256,881.90. That number is $17,959.70 less than the August 2012 bill, and $27,085.30 less than August 2011. This is the second consecutive month that the county has seen a decline in its regional jail bill spanning two years.
According to the West Virginia Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Authority website, there are 10 regional jails within the organization's system.
Also during the council meeting, members entered executive session to discuss a potential property purchase, and after resuming the regular meeting, approved negotiations toward the purchase of a property dependent upon a satisfactory appraisal and feasibility study on the purchase of the property.
Council members would not detail the location or intended purpose of the property.
"If word got out on what it is, we would be outbid," legal counsel Norwood Bentley said.

The two met at Concordia University Texas in Austin and decided to get married after graduation in 2014. But instead of the usual honeymoon beach destination, they surprised their families by quitting their corporate jobs and taking to the road with the idea of visiting various states on a honeymoon road trip.
Then they decided to take the plan a step further when Alyssa reminded Heath of his college bucket list and his goal to visit all 50 states.
"My grandparent's RV'd, his grandparents RV'd, pretty much only grandparents RV and here we were these 23-year-old kids doing it," said Alyssa. "We fell into it because we thought it would be the cheapest and most efficient way for us to travel. And we bought Franklin off of Craig's List four weeks before the wedding, renovated it, and we left four days after our wedding day."
Heath wasn't content with simply visiting different states, so he decided he wanted to structure the trip to maximize the learning experience and grow as a person, too.
He came up with the idea to work a different job in every state, something Alyssa wasn't on board with at first – seeing as it their honeymoon after all.
Courtesy Heath & Alyssa Padgett
With the help of SnagAJob.com , a site for hourly paid jobs, Heath was able to set up jobs across the country as well as find a sponsor to offset some of the costs of the trip.
In exchange, Heath and Alyssa would blog and film their adventures along the way, realizing yet another one of Heath's bucket list items, which was to make a documentary one day about something he was passionate about.
Heath's jobs ranged from being a dojo at a martial arts studio in Albuquerque to a stand-up paddle boarding tour guide in the company of whales in Maui, to shadowing a park ranger at Denali National Park in Alaska and spending the night on a glacier. But unanimously, they agreed that their favorite job, which even Alyssa took part in, was playing zombies at Six Flags Fright Fest in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. "It was epic," she says.
Courtesy Heath & Alyssa Padgett
Not to mention, the challenges of newlyweds cohabitating in such a small space together. "Sometimes it's really tough and we fight and we are in a small space so we have to work it out," says Heath.
Courtesy Heath & Alyssa Padgett
But both say that ultimately the experience was rewarding in the places that they visited, the people they met and in how they learned to pare down and stick to their basic needs.
"It's the biggest blessing; you can't bring everything with you. You only get each other," said Alyssa. "There is no luxury that we live without, except consistent hot water or Wi-Fi. We do get the luxury of saying we've lived beachfront, and oceanfront, and riverfront, and in the mountains and on a glacier, we have gotten to experience so much of life.
Courtesy Heath & Alyssa Padgett
Their story has turned into an array of different opportunities for them. They have started a free course called, "How to See America on 2K/Month," written a book called, The Ultimate Adventure, and paid off more than $15,000 in student loan debt from living in the RV.
Most important, they have connected with millions of Americans as they share their stories on their blogs each week. Next up is a campaign to raise money to edit and complete the documentary, Hourly America, and then more plans to get back on the road and do a speaking tour at universities across the country.
They still have a few things left on their bucket list though, like "shaking the hand of a president," even though they did manage to cross off white water rafting and flying in a 10-seater plane during the last 18 months of their travels. Alyssa says she tried to get Heath to sky dive in Montana, but that he chickened out. Heath disagrees, "I did not chicken out, I just wasn't given enough notice."
And Heath has plenty of time to catch up on his to-do list, as they couple says they "plan to live on the road for 2-3 more years."

Gio Ponti to enter Breeders' Cup Mile, not Classic
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Gio Ponti will remain on turf and run in the Breeders' Cup Mile instead of making his first start on dirt in the Breeders' Cup Classic on Saturday at Churchill Downs, owner Shane Ryan of Castleton Lyons announced Monday afternoon.
"Having thought long and hard about our choices, we have decided to enter our dual champion in the Breeders' Cup Mile," Ryan said in a press release. "As tempting as the Classic is, we were awed with his last trip over the mile course at Keeneland when winning the Shadwell Mile. It is due to this professional performance that we feel we must take on the best milers in the world, including a showdown with Goldikova."
Gio Ponti was the Eclipse Award-winning male turf horse and older horse last year. He finished second to Zenyatta in last year's Classic, when it was run on the synthetic Pro-Ride surface at Santa Anita. In his 22-race career under the care of trainer Christophe Clement, he has competed on turf 18 times, and four times on a synthetic surface, but has never raced on dirt.
"I'm not sure which filly is more feared, Goldikova or Zenyatta," said Ryan, who ended up choosing the race preferred by Clement. "Either way, neither race is a picnic. We are very much looking forward to the challenge."
By going in the Mile, Gio Ponti retains his regular rider, Ramon Dominguez. Had he run in the Classic, Gio Ponti would have needed a new rider, because Dominguez had committed to Haynesfield, the winner of the Jockey Club Gold Cup.
The Mile field will be sensational. Goldikova will be seeking an unprecedented third straight victory in the race. Her rivals include Paco Boy, one of the top male milers from Europe, and now will have both the ranking male (Gio Ponti) and female (Proviso) milers from the United States.
The Classic field will now number 13. Sixteen horses were pre-entered in the race, but both Crown of Thorns and Dakota Phone are expected to go in the BC Dirt Mile.
Post positions for all 14 BC races to be run Friday and Saturday will be drawn on Tuesday at 1 p.m. Eastern time at Churchill Downs.
