If you are impatient you can skip to the last page of this tutorial and watch the videos!
The USB Missile Launcher used in this tutorial is sold by Dream Cheeky
and is available from serveral retailers like Geeks.com for around $30.00. We used an inexpensive WebCam that you can get
for around $15.00 for the targeting video view. Held together by
elastic bands (yes, very sophisticated construction here!) the system comes together for under $50.00 with
about 5 minutes of construction time ... and hours of fun!
The goal of this project was to use a PC based joystick to control the Launcher whilst looking at the video
camera stream on the PC. This platform would allow for distance based firing without needing to be within
the vicinity of the Launcher.
In order to connect the software pieces together we used three RoboRealm modules.
As you can see from the image we have assigned the joystick X coordinates to a variable called "joy_x", Y to "joy_y" and
the fire button to the variable "fire".
The X values of the joystick vary from -1000 to 1000 with -1000 being extreme left and 1000 being extreme right. Likewise
with the Y coordinate but for up and down. The "fire" button will be a 0 (false) unless it is pressed in which case it becomes a 1 (true).
The issue now is how to map those values into values that the USB Missile Launcher understands.
The Launcher has uses the following command values that are sent over USB to the device.
0 = stop
1 = up
2 = down
4 = left
8 = right
16 = fire
These are bit values meaning that if you want to move up and to the left you would send a 5 to the
Below is the module interface for the Launcher. Note the one variable field that we can use to tell the
Launcher module which variable will contain the value to send to the Launcher. For now we don't have
such a variable since we have to create one using the values from the joystick. Note that you can immediately
use the manual buttons to send commands to the Launcher to test that everything is connected and has power.
To provide this mapping of joystick domain to the launcher domain we use a bit of VBScript ...
The VBScript program is as follows
We finally go back to our DC_Missile module and assign the variable to "move" since that is the variable we
created in the VBScript program that contains the correct bits that the Launcher understands.
The RoboRealm program pipeline finally looks like
Given all these parts lets see what it looks like in action ...
The components of this tutorial were purposely kept cheap which translates into very noisy
equipment and imprecise movements and firing ... but the system is nevertheless capable of
performing the desired task.
From this tutorial you should be able to create an automated Sentry gun that instead detects
visual based objects and targets those objects instead of using manual control.
Want to try this yourself?
Download the USB Missile Launcher .robo file to run an example yourself.
If you don't have a Joystick try this one which is configured to use your keyboard cursor keys
to move the launcher. Press space for fire! Note that you need RoboRealm installed to run this file.
Clicking on any of the modules within the RoboRealm pipeline will bring up that interface and
allow you to customize it for yourself.
That's all folks. We hope you've enjoyed this little adventure into an application of machine vision processing
and have inspired you to download a free trial of our software.

Have a nice day!

Since writing Leviathan, an enthralling history of the whale, Philip Hoare has found a new calling.
Previously known for his biographies of Noel Coward and Oscar Wilde, the 52-year-old struck a chord with his sixth book, which cleverly combines sociology and literary theory with zoology and environmentalism.
It has since become a bestseller in Britain and last year won the BBC's Samuel Johnson Prize for non-fiction. Dressed in a self-designed T-shirt emblazoned with a striking image of the great underwater beast and a hoodie from a Cape Cod whale watching company, he certainly looks the part when I meet him at a central London hotel.
"My approach to the subject is a very personal one," he says.
"I'm trying in a very wide-ranging way to look how the whale affects our lives and the way we affect its life. That expands into political and cultural terms as well as the natural history of the animal itself."
Although he only learned to swim as an adult, Hoare first developed his interest in creatures of the deep while growing up in Southampton on England's south coast.
Along with his two sisters, he persuaded his parents to take the family to view the resident killer whale at nearby Windsor Safari Park, only to be severely disappointed.
"I realised that you can't keep an animal like that in a swimming pool," recalls Hoare.
"That was the start of me realising that the history between man and whales has never been a happy one and continues not to be so."
Hoare adopts Herman Melville's 1851 classic Moby-Dick; The Whale as a touchstone, even taking the book's subtitle, The Whale, from the novel.
He compares the last doomed voyage of the whaling ship Pequod and the fate of its tyrannical peg-legged Captain Ahab to real-life whaling experiences from the past two centuries.
"It's 135 chapters of very digressive 19th century prose all about everything you want to know about whales and some things that you didn't" he says.
"I often wonder what Moby-Dick would have been like if Melville was writing today and had been forced to use Google. Because that is what he was doing, putting everything he knew about whales into the book.
Like most people, I found it hugely difficult and intimidating when I first read it, but having visited New England and got into the history of the novel, I was really sucked in. I realised Melville is actually very funny, ironical and subversive."
Dubbed the Great American Novel, it has had a similar seminal influence on 20th century fiction as Joseph Conrad's post-colonial masterpiece Heart of Darkness.
"It's almost a cliche but Moby-Dick has become shorthand for whales," says Hoare. "Ahab is obsessed with this animal that bit off his leg, so he sets out to seek revenge. What Melville is saying is that it is impossible to invest an animal with such human traits. It's interesting that in the New York Times three days after 9/11 happened, Edward Said compared the War on Terror and Bush's pursuit of Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein to Ahab's pursuit of the White Whale.
The analogies of Moby-Dick are very deeply entrenched in our culture to the extent that any time a child draws a picture of a whale, they're drawing Moby-Dick. He's become a graphic icon."
Hoare emphasises the mythic aspect of the beast, describing it as "geographic" in scope.
"They have the most enormous physical presence," he says. "But when you go whale watching, you sometimes see a fin, a fluke or a head but often the first thing you see is this massive cloud of air, which is symptomatic of the elusiveness of this animal. It's the biggest animal that has ever lived and yet how many of us have actually seen it? Even when we do see it, it's like a kind of jigsaw piece of an animal, which we have to fit together. We see only that so we have to imagine the rest of it in our heads."
Hoare was in Hobart harbour in January when the New Zealand registered protest vessel Ady Gill departed on its fateful last journey to Antarctica, where it sank after a collision with the Japanese whaling ship Shonan Maru No. 2. He notes that the crew "looked more like they were going to a rock festival" and compares the former racing trimaran skipper Paul Watson to the notorious Pequod captain.
"He's like a modern-day Ahab," he laughs. "He's Ahab in reverse really."
He is also critical of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's confrontational tactics. "What they do is reckless," he says. "It's great that someone is highlighting the whole problem of what the Japanese are doing in the South Pacific. The only trouble is, what they're doing is creating scenes of violence and you can't bring violence to violence. I know that the Australian and New Zealand governments find it a pain in the proverbial because it affects the diplomacy, which they are very much negotiating.
" New Zealand and Australia are at the forefront of what's going on out there and it's really down to them more than anyone else to broker some kind of deal. The only way we're going to get around it is diplomacy, because the Japanese are intransigent about it."
According to Hoare, the Japanese have very good reasons for their stubborn attitudes.
"You have to look at it in a political context," he says. "The Allied Powers dropped two atom bombs on Japan during World War II and then we occupied the place. We turned their decommissioned navy into a whaling fleet to feed these people who had been reduced to starvation. Even in that context, you can see why, to put it mildly, the Japanese are annoyed at being told what to do."
He claims the Japanese slaughter of whales for so-called scientific research is a hollow sham.
"It's complete nonsense because the whale meat is entering the food chain as whale burgers and whale sushi," he says. "They're making a political gesture. They signed up to the International Whaling Commission's international moratorium in 1986 and did a deal with the Americans that enabled them to fish in US coastal waters. The US reneged on that so they're doing what they're doing as a protest. They don't need to hunt whales, no one needs to hunt whales now."
In Leviathan, Hoare adopts a pragmatic approach to the morality of whaling.
"I try to look at it from all angles," he says. "From the point of view of the whalers, who have families to feed and children to send to school; and then I look at it very much from the point of view of the whales, who are harassed and killed by these strange creatures who arrive on their horizon, literally over their heads, and throw spears at them."
He maintains that Western nations like Australia and New Zealand indirectly kill more whales through pollution and climate change than nations like Japan, Norway and Iceland, who hunt them for their flesh.
"Just the amount of noise we generate in the ocean and the amount of traffic we send through it," says Hoare.
"In the past two years, eight northern white whales have been killed by ship strikes in the north Atlantic and out of those, at least three were breeding females. There's only 350 left and that could mean disaster for the species."
Whaling was once very important to Australia and New Zealand. "It opened up the Pacific to Western influence because the American and British fleets were passing through it," says Hoare.
"Australia wouldn't exist without the whale, not only because that was its first industry but because the whaling ships were supplying the colonies with food. New Zealand also relied very much on the whale; it was an important part of the culture. It still is - the whale watching operations in Kaikoura are Maori-operated."
Hoare intends to take in some whale watching himself when he arrives here in two weeks for the New Zealand International Arts Festival.
"I've seen female sperm whales and juvenile sperm whales in the Azores but I've never seen any male sperm whales," he says.
"Kaikoura is one of the best places in the world to go to see these animals so I'm very excited about that."
He will also be researching his next project, a sequel to his BBC documentary Hunt for Moby-Dick. "We're relocating it to the Pacific," he says.
"That's part of the reason why I want to go to New Zealand, to pursue the notion of the influence and history of the whales and whaling in the Pacific, especially on Maori and the Aborigines from an anthropological and economic perspective. "

…. the preview fucking lied. They stepped up the BL so much this week, White is already calling Black his wife. Fuck this show.
Hey, at least it had Wagahai riding and successfully taming one of those trashcanbots.
Okay, what I just mentioned may be the only highlight of the episode. And there's also fighting next week.
I'm just sticking for the eventual trainwreck and the nice BGMs… or the possibility of anyone bursting into TREATS like that last show…
Angst is acceptable but implied homolust isn't?
@Di Gi Kazune
"Bring on the fujoshi! Bring on the fujoshi! Bring on the fujoshi!"
Still, at least Neko is there!
Hey, they put some yuri hints in there too!
The cat is a lie
At least we'll see the fight between Yatogami Kuroh and Yata next episode… T_T
Delicious beefcaek? :D
I'm here for the neko & loli, edits will remove the yaoilust.
Character designs strangely reminiscent of No 6…
I watch for the pretty colors and BGM. But Kuro, 5 is not bad… Mamoru Miyano has fun playing Fushimi's (glasses guy) insane side. If nothing else, 5 had a pretty good fight scene and great seiyuu work.
6 however… was like the FLASHBACK limit break. Chaining flashbacks on top of flashbacks…

Ladies and gents, it's time to find out what the hearts of Tomo editors desire. Yes indeed, it's time for DO WANT! For the month of April, I feel like there wasn't much in the way of crazy new announcements. Sure there was NicoNico Super Kaigi and C2E2, but I didn't see anything that shattered my world. Probably for the best, as I don't need anything else to sap away my meager earnings.
For this month, your editors lusted after:
It's certainly a motley list of toys. Hit that jump to find out more!
Pedro Cortes wants Portrait of Pirates Sailing Again Brook
Oh, what a surprsie, Pedro wants a One Piece figure. Ah, but it's just not any One Piece figure. No, no, it's a POP of the crew's undead rock star, "Soul King" Brook. A couple years ago, I reviewed Brook's original release and regretted not ordering it when I had the chance. I also cursed the figure gods when I missed getting Strong Edition Brook, though that was rectified later by finding him at Otakon last year. This time around, I made sure to stake out Hobby Search and snatch him up the second their overwhelmed servers would allow me to get in an order.
Natalie Kipper wants Clump-o-Lumps plushies
My DO WANT is yet again something soft and plush. Shocking! These interactive and moderately goofy-looking toys (who else has a shark with an overbite?) have really captured my heart. I love the mix-and-match concept and the fact that, once unzipped, the section is red with a bone-looking dot in the center. I find that detail absolutely hilarious! I am eagerly awaiting the in-store events and the chance to win the whole Clump-o-Lump family for myself. Wish me luck!
Keith Polott wants S.H. Figuarts Scorpion Zodiarts
For this month, I'm going with Bandai's S.H. Figuarts Scorpion Zodiarts. The first member of the Horoscopes introduced looks to exhibit the same high level of sculpted detail as the Weather and Nazca Dopants and the Greeed, and the best part is that it's not a Tamashii web exclusive! Almost all villains released under the Figuarts line have been, so if you want to see the rest of the Horoscopes (Leo!) then buy buy buy! She'll be available through our friends at Bluefin this August for $42.99.
Chris Seto wants a lot of beer. Oh, and Volks' T-ELOS
My DO WANT for this month would be a pair of beer goggles which work on figures!! That way, I'd be able to look at the GSC Inori and find it looking good! She's such a great figure ...from the neck down but, for me, the redjuice design for the face didn't seem to do too well on the transition to 3D. It looks horrific at most angles!!! So a pair of beer goggles would be good so I look at her and not be repulsed, until the next morning at least!!
Or if you want an actual item which doesn't need to be invented, it would definitely be the going-to-be-hideously-
Brian Szabelski, Rio McCarthy and Tianxiao Ma want Hot Toys' Naked Snake
Rio: SNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Tianxiao: Naked Snake. HE COMES WITH A BOX. That's my favorite Hot Toys thing ever.
Brian: That Naked Snake figure from Hot Toys is just too good to pass up. Like Tian, I am excited that he comes with a box, and the sculpting on his face looks great. The Boss looks good, too, but if I had a choice, it would be Snake all the way so I can put him next to all my other Metal Gear Solid figures.
However, is it bad that I now want a different Snake from Hot Toys? Snake Plissken? So I can have Naked Snake fight Kurt Russell? Please?
With the image of Kurt Russell grappling David Hayter, this month's DO WANT draws to a close. Do any of the Tomopeeps share our desires? If so, let us know in the comments along with your DO WANTs!Photo Gallery: (6 images)

I don't see this working as quilting unless you are doing QAYG blocks. IMHO.

All the distributions named in these emails have computable CDFs
("analytic" is for theorists or calculus teachers). -qpfit- from SSC
contains Q-Q and P-P plotting routines for several distributions used in
income work.
I agree with Stas' main point that discrimination between candidate
distributions is tricky if the data arrive coarsely binned. It can be
pretty difficult even with thousands of records!
Stas Kolenikov
No, this is the stuff to work with individual records. With grouped
data, I
don't think you'd be able to detect differences from a gamma or a
distribution unless you have a couple dozen income categories... which
in my
experience does not happen; you are lucky if you have 10 or more; and I
don't think it is fair to say that income data "typically" come in this
form, many surveys have questions or modules on incomes and
I'd say, "write your own -ml- estimator", but most of these flexible
distributions have only density functions available, while the cdfs do
have analytic expressions.

|Lobster and Grilled Corn Chowder with Grilled Lemon
Here's a great New England style grilled corn chowder that combines what I think are two great central ingredients, sweet corn and succulent lobster. The sweetness of the grilled corn pairs well with the rich lobster meat without being too overpowering. The pop of the sweet corn adds a delicious textural difference as well.
Because of the richness of the ingredients, this chowder adds no cream, opting instead for 1% partly skimmed milk and a classic flour and butter roux to thicken the soup. I don't like my chowder particularly thick but if you want it thinner you can just add a little more milk or stock at the end to thin it out. If at all possible, use fresh herbs in this chowder; I think the fresh thyme in particular, which was picked straight from my herb garden by the kitchen door, just absolutely makes the dish. The quickly grilled lemon wedges get served with the chowder to be squeezed in before eating for a final layer of flavor and burst of freshness.
This chowder makes a spectacular first course at a dinner party or serve it with some garlic toast and a small side salad as a luxurious lunch. We recently served cups of this chowder to guests at a weekend barbeque and it was very well received by all who sampled it.
Serves 4 to 6
- 1 1/2 to 2 lb lobster, cooked, de-shelled and diced
You can buy your lobster pre-steamed if you like but I like to cook it myself by under cooking by about 5 minutes and then finishing off cooking the lobster by simmering it in the soup. If you are using pre-cooked lobster add it as close to the end of the cooking time as possible so that it does not overcook and become rubbery.
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 large white onion
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 stalks celery, diced small
- pinch salt
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
Saute together in a medium sized pot over medium heat until the onions begin to soften but not brown, then add:
- 3 to 4 tbsp flour
Cook for a couple of minutes over medium heat stirring constantly. The flour should foam a little but not brown. Quickly stir in:
- 4 cups 1% part-skimmed milk, scalded
- 2 to 3 cups low sodium seafood stock (or low sodium chicken stock)
- 3 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
- salt and pepper to season
- 5 -6 ears grilled sweet corn ( just turn it on a hot grill until the surface begins to char, then cut it off the cob with a sharp knife.)
Simmer slowly for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. In the last few minutes of cooking time add the lobster. Serve immediately with lemon wedges that have been charred on a hot grill or cast iron grill pan.

It was another strange day in this ever more strange election campaign, with the focus split between New York and Washington, and the presidential candidates playing a decidedly marginal role. On Capitol Hill, treasury secretary Henry Paulson continued to try to sell the Bush administration's bailout plan to an angry Congress, whose members pressured him to toughen it up, while at the United Nations the president added lines on the economy to his speech. He didn't get much of a reception: fewer than 10 seconds of polite applause - and a "thumbs-down" gesture from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, whose own speech was a typically anti-Bush and anti-Israel affair.
Barack Obama, engaged in intensive debate preparation in Florida, surfaced to condemn Ahmadinejad's "outrageous remarks", and also Bush's "my-way-or-the-highway intransigence" on the bailout. John McCain, meanwhile, once again played second fiddle to his running-mate, Sarah Palin, who met the heads of state of Afghanistan and Colombia, and Henry Kissinger, in New York.
The McCain/Palin campaign engaged in a brief spat with the written press, which it initially tried to exclude from covering her handshakes with the world leaders, before eventually relenting. But the next round in McCain's war with the media seemed likely to be far more vicious: late last night, the New York Times reported on its website that a firm owned by McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, had received payments of $15,000 a month until last month from Freddie Mac, one of the mortgage giants implicated in the current economic crisis, in contradiction to the campaign's claims.
What to watch out for
McCain and Palin remain in New York today, while Obama is in Florida, preparing for Friday's debate, which is expected to receive the highest television audience for a political debate in history. Palin will meet Katie Couric, for an interview to be broadcast on tonight's CBS Evening News; despite her friendly exterior, Couric has been known to lob tough questions at her interviewees.
Latest polls
Obama remains just ahead in most daily tracking polls: for example, Gallup has him at 47% to 44%, down from 48% to 44% yesterday. A Washington Post/ABC poll puts Obama nine points ahead of McCain, attributing his lead to turmoil in the financial industry (just 9% of those polled rate the US economy as good or excellent, the first time this figure has been in single digits since before the 1992 election). A new Pew poll meanwhile gives Obama a huge lead as the candidate voters consider best able to address the financial crisis: 47% to McCain's 35%. But a majority of those questioned backed the US government's bailout plan nonetheless.

The Ascension Collegiate Astros male hockey team has a reputation as one of the top teams in Newfoundland and Labrador.
With its second place finish in the Maurice Richard division of the Canadian Cup in Montreal, Que. March 14-16, the Astros just reinforced the issue.
"It was a great tournament," said coach Trevor Dixon.
Ascension dropped a razor-thin 3-1 decision to the Credit Valley Wolves from Mississauga, Ont.
Bay Roberts forward Ryan Dawson scored the only goal for the Astros.
"The boys played well," said Dixon.
The championship had to have been a let down for the Astros, who finished the round robin portion of the tournament undefeated.
But, Dixon said the tournament was more than about wins or losses for his players.
"It was great team bonding," he said,
The team of 13 players spent all of their time in each other's companies. This included travelling as a team and eating meals together. This included a tour of the Bell Centre in Montreal.
"It was crazy to be there," said Dixon.
Essentially, the Astros were a family for three days.
"We had a good time," he said.
This team bonding will only serve the team moving forward.
The Astros return to Newfoundland in the midst of its regional qualifiers for the provincial championships next month.
The tournament
All of the games for the tournament were played in a new facility Centre Multisport de Chateauguay.
"It was a really nice layout," said Dixon.
The Astros met the representatives from Saratoga Falls, New York in its opening matchup.
Ascension would defeat the Blue Knights by a score of 3-0 to get things started on the right foot.
Dawson (2) and Reilly Deering scored for the Astros.
Next were the Black Ice of Rutland Vermont. Forward Adam Oates scored a pair of goals to pace Ascension in a 5-2 victory.
Dawson, Deering and Andrew Churchill scored for the Astros.
Concluding the round robin was a matchup with Credit Valley. Ascension won the game 4-1 on the back of goals from Deering (2), Oates and Dawson.
"The boys carried the offense," said Dixon.
Heading into the tournament, players were struck a bit by nerves.
It came with playing in a different province and against unknown competition.
However, the team quickly settled in and played strong hockey.
"They went to play their best," said Dixon.

But it will also depend on where the chips fall in the first round.
They need to improve the pass rush in some way I dont care where it comes from. they need to get more pressure on the QB. If they take a DT early this year we know they have absolutely no confidence in Marvin Austin

Manuel Almunia believes that changing the number on his shirt simply underlines his status at the Club.
The Spanish stopper wrestled the goalkeeping berth away from Jens Lehmann last term and was rewarded with the coveted jersey following the German's departure in the close season. Almunia insists that he will now cement his place as both a stopper and as a mentor.
"The only thing that has changed this season is the number of my shirt," Almunia told Arsenal.com. "That has changed, but the situation, I hope, will not change and I can have many, many games in goal for Arsenal.
"My role in the team, I expect, will be to show myself as a good example for people around Arsenal. I would like to be a reference for the young players and help them as best I can. But also I want to give my all to performing for the team."
Almunia was talking after the Gunners got their pre-season off to a winning start against Barnet on Saturday. And he revealed that it was just the tonic after a tough couple of weeks on the training field.
"I think the team was tired, you could see that," said Almunia. "It's because we have been in really hard training for two weeks, but hopefully the fans enjoyed the game. This was the first test and personally I enjoyed it.
"Football players like to play games, not just training, so it was nice to be back on the field. The start of pre-season is always hard. We train both in the morning and in the afternoon.
"At the moment the mood is fine, but there are many players to come back. I am looking forward to having everyone back together and for us all to get ready for a good season."
The Spanish stopper was also suitably impressed with the new signings on show at Underhill.
"[Aaron] Ramsey is a very good creator of chances, very similar to Cesc Fabregas. But of course we must remember that he is still very young and he has to learn from people like Cesc, Abou [Diaby] and the rest of the players that have been here a long time."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

So cute! 'Jay-Jay I Love you so,' Beyonce sang in her documentary on Feb. 16. The loving couple serenade each other soon after finding out she's pregnant.
Beyonce's documentary Life Is But A Dream aired on HBO on Feb. 16, following a one-hour interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah's Next Chapter. The most touching moment in the film, for us, was when Beyonce and Jay-Z sang Coldplay's "Yellow" to each other, written by their close friend Chris Martin. They were celebrating her pregnancy and it was so adorable.
The documentary offered an inside look at the singer's life and career — a side of her we've never seen before.
The HBO film shows footage of a sonogram, Beyonce's growing bump and video of the singer posing nude as she neared her due date.
Beyonce, 31, also touches upon the miscarriage she suffered, which Jay-Z revealed in his song "Glory," shortly after the birth of their daughter Blue Ivy.
"It was the saddest thing I've ever been through. My life is a journey. … I had to go through my miscarriage, I believe I had to go through owning my company and managing myself … ultimately your independence comes from knowing who you are and you being happy with yourself," she said.
No wonder, Beyonce and Jay-Z were so overjoyed when they conceived Blue Ivy. Singing the Coldplay song only seems fitting. And there's no doubt that the duo is madly in love with each other. Watch below! (They sing Coldplay's "Yellow" around the 1:07:00 mark.)
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? What was your favorite moment from Beyonce's documentary? Watch the full special below.

Radius Medical Solutions is the winner of the Westpac Business of the Year Supreme Award.
The business claimed the award at the Westpac Hawke's Bay Chamber of Commerce Business Awards last night, as well as scooping the Pan Pac Large Business Award category.
Radius CEO Adri Isbister accepted the trophy at the black tie event at the Hawke's Bay Opera House for her Napier company, which provides business performance and compliance support services to 28 New Zealand medical centres.
In a hat-trick for the company, she was also awarded the Westpac Excellence in Business Leadership Award.
On receiving her second award she said she was speechless but described how her company's work enabled medical professionals to help more people. "We release the clinician's time. Our doctors, our nurses and our health care assistants are able to do what they do very well because of what we do - all the business support that they need."
She credited her team one by one. "I am a great believer that one of us is not as strong as all of us. It is a pleasure to continue to grow our business in Hawke's Bay."
On winning the Supreme Award she truly was speechless but continued to thank her team profusely.
The judges said Radius had a totally dedicated team who had more than doubled net profit in the last three years, increased customer numbers by 40 per cent and grown the business with a balanced combination of acquisition and organic growth.
"The Radius customer and staff focus was also a stand-out feature of a culture of transparency and strong shared systems," the judges said.
FPG Group CEO Robert Darroch was named the Hawke's Bay Today Business Person of the Year.
FPG supply in-store fittings and livery for some of the world's leading food retail and hospitality brands across 40 countries, with McDonald's, IKEA, Mobil and BP among its customers.
Mr Darroch is on the board of economic development agency Business Hawke's Bay and was one of the key drivers responsible for bringing business growth organisation The Icehouse to Hawke's Bay.
He said accepting the award was "very humbling" and companies should not be afraid to "put up their hand and ask for help". "There are a lot of people out there ready and willing to help."
The awards were attended by more than 350 business leaders including Tukituki MP and Minister of Commerce, Craig Foss.
Westpac area manager business banking Steve Pinder said Westpac was delighted to help with a programme that inspired organisations to strive for, and celebrate, success. He said companies that gave their time to be scrutinised by the judges were courageous but all had benefited. "Congratulations to the 2013 Westpac Hawkes Bay Chamber of Commerce Business Awards winners - we're sure this is a stepping stone to even greater business success."

Glow, the data science app that aims to help women get pregnant, has just gone and launched a new offering aimed at employers. Yes, that's right, Glow thinks employers might want to help their workers have more babies, and to do so its come up with "Glow for Enterprise", a program that aims to help wannabe moms keep track of their fertility health with full support from their boss. Quite surprisingly, the project has already been back by two notable companies – Eventbrite and Evernote.
Glow was borne out of Max Levchin's HVF labs, with the noble goal of trying to reduce the costs of fertility health care. Essentially, it's an app that helps women to increase their chances of getting pregnant. Female users enter information about their sexual activity, fertility cycle, cervical mucus and other personal details, and the app calculates the likelihood that she'll get pregnant on any given day. More recently, the app was given an update, adding tools that help women who want to prevent pregnancy as well.
The idea is that women can better understand when they're likely to conceive naturally, and thus avoid undergoing expensive fertility treatments. Of course, it won't work for everyone – which is why the company also offers its Glow First program wherein users donate $50 a month for 10 months. Those couples who opt for this and fail to conceive in that period will then be able to apply for some of these pooled funds to pay for treatments like in vitro fertilization, the costs of which can run into thousands of dollars.
Now, Glow for Enterprise is basically letting employers cover these fees on behalf of its employees, be they male or female. It says that participation in the program will be kept confidential.
"At Eventbrite, we're always looking for innovative new ways to offer health and wellness benefits to our Britelings," said Emily Couey, a human resources exec at Eventbrite.
It's nice that Eventbrite feels this way, but one has to wonder if other companies will have the same attitude.
After all, a lot of employers tend to get quite upset about their female workers getting pregnant, what with those extended periods of (paid) maternity leave. The again, for certain companies Glow for Enterprise might work out cheaper – some employers pay for medical insurance that covers the costs of treatments like IVF, and so the alternative that Glow offers might be cheaper.
Then again, we don't actually know for certain that Glow really works anyway – the company has refused to release download or active user numbers, so there's no way of telling how effective it is. All Glow has said is that "thousands" of women have got pregnant after using its app, but without a controlled study it's impossible to tell just how much of an impact it really has.

By the way if my Davis takes the davis long or boyle 10 what needle can I use? Maybe Nancy can answer this for me I now have a singer needle in it15x1 and it works. All my treadles are singers and this davis is new to me but fun to sew with. Can you buy this size needle? Glenn
I was wondering the same thing, Glenn. I read somewhere you can use a reg. needle as long as you don't push it all the way up where the needle goes and as long as you are getting a good stitch that's all that matters. Any other opinions out there?

Frequent 8002AD23 Error[ Edited ]
It seems like I can be connected to PSN from 2 to 15 minutes before this error occurs and signs me out with the error code 8002AD23. This can occur whether or not a game or application is in use - it's given that error after being idle since it signed on. The internet connection to the PS3 is still active and never falters; opening the internet browser is just fine. I only noticed this happening a week or so ago, perhaps two weeks ago, so I can't pin it on a update for sure.
60gb BC Fat PS3 / Firmware v4.31 / Wired Connection / United States (Illinois)
Things I have tried that have not ended the issue:
-Restarting router/modem.
-Trying every viable setting in the network settings menus.
-Replacing ethernet cable.
-Disabled media servers.
-Removed symbols from profile message.
-Reinstalled 4.31 update.
-Restored File System.
-Rebuild Database.
-Connected to a different new access point.
-Created a brand new account on a different user and tried staying signed in.
Help or advice is appreciated. More info can be provided if needed.

Western Montana sheep producers ready to ship wool
MISSOULA COUNTY - Western Montana wool growers are waiting to find out how much money they'll make on this year's wool crop.
They are part of the Western Montana sheep growers cooperative.
The fleeces are ready for shipment. The wool is gathered on a Missoula ranch. That ranch is working for agricultural stability.
The Stahl family only has a few sheep on the home place. The rest are grazing Mount Jumbo to keep the city's weeds down.
Close to 100 Western Montana co-op wool growers brought their fleeces to the Stahl ranch.
"It's cheaper to ship in bulk," said Eric Stahl, "so everybody gathers up all the wool so they can get the best prices."
From the Stahls, the wool will be transported to Billings. From there, it will probably go to a mill in South Carolina, where it will be specially cleaned.
"To take off the little burrs," explained Eric's stepmother Cheryl Stahl, "Most people think that they're allergic to the wool, what they're allergic to is the burrs that scratch their skin."
The wool is graded into 7 stages, from material used for expensive clothing to a coarser, carpet wool.
The finer the wool, the better the price.
The Stahls would like to sell more wool locally. They want to enhance new markets.
"Like with the wool," said Eric, "we found that spinners buy the wool for a lot higher price."
The Stahls are looking for ways to subsidize disappointing wool and lamb prices. Lamb producers are dwindling in western Montana.
Eric is fifth generation on the place. His family wants its nearly 100 year old ranch to be as diverse as possible.
"We want to make sure that this land is going to be available for our children and our children's children," said Eric.
Goats have become a part of a larger plan. Goats are sometimes used as nursemaid lambs.
"We don't have to bottle feed them (the lambs) said Cheryl.
Goat milk is rich for people too. The Stahls would like to start a certified dairy. Then, there's eggs and produce.
They are converting a 60-year-old horse barn into a museum. It will honor the Stahl family ancestors.
"Grandma Josephine was one of the first white women in the valley and she had a trading post here," said Cheryl.
The family would like to continue that trading post on their working ranch.

Flat towing your Samurai
For all the people that don't have a Real truck and or trailer.
this is how you flat tow your Samurai:
Steering column unlocked: you can do this by turning the key to the on position then returning it to off and leaving it in the ignition, this way you don't have to disconnect your battery.
Unlock your Hubs
T-case in N, with the Tranny in 2nd gear, sounds weird but this keeps the intermediate shaft from spinning on a dry bearing, tranny in nuetral will work for short trips.
Better then leaving the t-case in neutral is just to remove the rear driveshaft, with teh hubs unlocked your front driveshaft isn't going to spin, this will save on bearing wear and you won't have to worry about the t-case popping out of gear and trying to make your engine explode. if its cold or you are just feeling lazy, you can only remove the 4 bolts at the axle flange and pull the driveshaft, apart, personally i don't like the looks of half a driveshaft just hanging out underneath, so i take the whole thing out.
Try and get your towbar as level as possible and try and get your mounts in line with the frame rails.

Michael Waltrip to kick-start 2010 season with Dubai sports-car race
There are 20 comments on the www.scenedaily.com story from Jan 11, 2010, titled Michael Waltrip to kick-start 2010 season with Dubai sports-car race. In it, www.scenedaily.com reports that:
Michael Waltrip is going global. While his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series effort on the track will be scaled back in 2010, the owner/driver will be extending his reach outside the stock-car world when he competes in this week's Dubai 24-Hour sports-car race.

I think that is soooo AWESOME!! I hope it's on T.V. Goog Luck Michael!!
#2 Jan 12, 2010
OPPS!! GOOD Luck MICHAEL!!
#3 Jan 12, 2010
I'm with you kniver 55. I hope Mikey and the boys win this one.
#4 Jan 12, 2010
I bet he finishes last there too.
#5 Jan 12, 2010
This is a pretty low grade race, kind of like jr high school football. They don't charge the few fans that will show up any attendance. If I read the information correctly there are 22 or so entries (which means if his "team" finishes 22 thats a better finish than more than 2/3 his NASCAR Sprint Cup points race finishes last year) divided up into 12 or so classes. My understanding is that team merkin is entered in the brokeback mountain class. They may be the only car in this class and when the creative writer at POS.com gets ahold of it you can be sure you will read all about how lurch lead the field during his entire shift.
#6 Jan 12, 2010
We'rr soon see a video on Youtube video of Wartlip stumbring alound lace cal hording a riquol bottre with the hail on his 45 pound head arr messed up aftel he wleck.
Wang raugh out roud just at visuarization of that!! hohoho
#7 Jan 12, 2010
POS is the WORST DRIVER IN NA$CRAP, PERIOD! His sponsors won't even let him behind the wheel for the two road course races every year, LMAO! This clown is like a mobile chicane on a road course.
Good luck peddliing some more worthless merchandise to idiots that don't know any better during the race, ya huckster!
#8 Jan 12, 2010
Its a pretty insignificant race in the world of motor sport but it is a crying shame that this guy is allowed a means by which to pass himself off as NASCAR's amabasador to anywhere.
#9 Jan 13, 2010
I was scared when I read it was a Ferrari he was driving. I still see Boris in that sportscar (sorry, forgot what kind) when he caught on fire and couldn't get out. That scares me.
However, wouldn't it be a huge hoot if he did ace this one??? What a confidence-booster! I am sitting on egg shells thinking about the 500. I keep having this strange vision that somebody really weird, like McMurray, will win it. You know, an "accidental" win? Sorry, Mac fans...Even weirder, yep, Truex. If his car is that good, then the first question I wil have is why isn't Mike's better? Hmmm????
#10 Jan 13, 2010
I don't like DW, never will. However, was the guy really THAT hot as a driver? I have done my homework and this guy, who never shuts up has a sh((*load of wins...why? He's a dork.
#11 Jan 13, 2010
I think you are confusing Michael with DW. And yes DW could drive in his day. Not very well liked but he could drive. I guess you could say he was the Kyle Bush of his day.
#12 Jan 13, 2010
DW was not as good as Kyle.
#13 Jan 14, 2010
Thanks, Joe, that is a great way to look at it. DW was before my time getting into Nascar. He and Michael appear to have completely different styles of driving and a bit of a difference in personalities. I do like Michael...a lot...I am crazy about David Reutimann. David has said numerous times he totally admires and respects DW. I think that whenever I see and listen to DW in the old videos, he is a bit high-strung and well, like you said, the Kyle Bush of his day. In the Dale Senior "3" movie, he was mean as hell to Dale. Jealousy, maybe? As for Kyle, he uses the "F" word continuously over the radio (scanner) with his spotter, Jeff. I think those 2 guys are a lot alike in many ways. I dig Kyle.
Have a good one!
#14 Jan 14, 2010
I will remember that, thank you. I loved it when every weekend I would "talk" to Kyle on TV and say, "You little sh*t, are you gonna win ANOTHER one?" with a big smile on my face!
#15 Jan 14, 2010
Whether you like him or not if you like the sport you have to respect the accomplishment, the guy is a Champion, one of the most successful drivers of his era, won races alot of races driving against some of the sports most legendary legitimate competitors, and he helped define the sport.
His half brother is just a parasite.
United States
#16 Jan 14, 2010
I hate to see him scaling back. Victory lane in Daytona would be nice.
#17 Jan 14, 2010
The fourth turn wall would be poetic justice!
#18 Jan 15, 2010
'Tis true. Thank you. Oh, I saw a terrific photo of Dale Senior and guess who he is hugging? A very young David Reutimann. It was funny seeing David in the white Goodwrench uniform. But, I did put 2 + 2 together and I understand why.
#19 Jan 15, 2010
I would rather have MW driving even at the rear of the field, then have him talking on TV.
#20 Jan 15, 2010
So it looks like "the Waltrips" discoverd the Rudderman is yet another Waltrip lie.

Seems I mistakenly put 30 N instead of 32 N in my currently at line. Correct position is 32 15 21 N 80 44 40 W.
I'd hate to have to do those 2 degrees over again :)
Can you see the golf green from your anchorage? It looks like you are right off a green when I checked your position on google earth
I've been following your route on google earth. you really make some descent time getting around:)
Sounds like your making great time going North, John.
On another note............... and not to hijack your thread, but has anybody noticed how quite it is around here without the Portugese Pirate? I bet there having a grand time.
Does anybody have any updates?
Any odds on who will be the first to jump ship?
You're right tjk, it's been very quiet here w/o Alex luffing everyone's sails. They were scheduled to leave port yesterday morning - arriving at the south coast in 2 days . . . that is, unless winds (or the crew) died.
I just put in two consecutive allnighters, that will eat up some miles real quick. Took today off though to recuperate :) I'll probably do an all day sail to Georgetown, then, if the weather is right, all the way to Beufort, NC. The ICW may be great in bad weather, or if you have a trawler, but I prefer offshore for making time.
I'm about halfway between Skull Creek Marina and Port Royal Sound, in a little group of shoal islands. Three different rivers here, and tidal current, but otherwise, seems a great place for sailing.
Currently at 32 15 21 N 80 44 40 W
Hi PB, I just used the advice of uspirate and pasted your coordinates into Google Earth. Marvelous this technology! How are you communicating from there?
Great sailing progress John. Why not just keep going and aim for a circumnavigation? :) Unless you've seen it all before, or there was a threat of an early and active hurricane season, I'm curious to know why you're in such a rush to get to the Chesapeake though.
I"ve traveled throughout the Gulf and East Coast for years. But if I was visiting these places for the first time again, exploring the different ports and meeting new people along the way would be hard to resist.
Idiens - I have wireless internet through Verizon Wireless. Can connect anywhere my cellphone can.
TB - Sightseeing is for the trip back down south this fall. Just want to get a bit more north right now, then take my time after that. These first few months are more of a learning curve thing for me, as I figure out a routine, and what works and doesn't work.
Oh, and btw, I saw a True Blue in Fort Lauderdale. Though it was a powerboat, you'll probably like knowing at least it was a pristine Hinckley Picnic boat.
Currently at 32 15 21 N 80 44 40 W
Ok, so stupid noob question here. Is the "currently at" feature something you just paste at the bottom of your post, or is it a setting on the avatar or profile page? Or can you configure your GPS to auto-upload? :)

Women admit they are scrimping to keep on smoking
WOMEN smokers admit they are financially scrimping in order to fund their addiction – and saving money is not a strong enough motivator to quit.
The worrying findings emerged in a focus group survey by the Irish Cancer Society in the wake of statistics showing lung cancer has now overtaken breast disease as the main cause of cancer death in women.
One Irish woman in every three smokes, and it is as high as one in two among younger and socially disadvantaged groups.
"The incidence of cancer in the disadvantaged social group is almost twice as high as that among the better off," said the organisation's head of advocacy and communications, Kathleen O'Meara.
A report on 'Women and Smoking: Time to Face the Facts', launched by the society yesterday showed:
• Women are smoking between five to 20 cigarettes a day, and it is a habit they are ashamed of.
• Better-off women admit they hide in order to have a smoke at work.
• Women are desensitised to the ill-effects of smoking.
• Hand-rolled cigarettes are more popular to save money.
• Pregnancy is the one tangible event that would persuade women to quit, but mothers admitted resuming the habit once the baby is born.
Writing in the report, Dr Finbarr O'Connell, a respiratory physician in St James's Hospital said: "Irish women are smoking for Europe."
He added: "Not many people know the average number of years lost due to smoking is 16. While there are more cases of breast than lung cancer in women the survival rate is better."
Women are getting lung cancer younger than men, and while there used to be 10 cases of lung cancer in men for every case in a woman it is now almost even.
The report recommends a new strategy to help women to quit and said the services "need to go where smokers are and make sure information and support goes to the people who need it most".
People should be able to access stop smoking services in the community and not just in hospitals.
Community champions should be used, and well-resourced stop smoking clinics should be set up in maternity hospitals.
A reality television programme that follows a group of smokers trying to quit should be developed.
A Weight Watchers model should be used, where women support each other reaching their goal.
