Chinese philosopher and Daoism interpreter Zhuangzi (Chuang-tzu)
LifeIn spite of his importance, details of Zhuangzi's life, apart from the many anecdotes about him in the Zhuangzi itself, are unknown. The "Grand Historian" of the Han dynasty, Sima Qian (died c. 87 bce), incorporated in his biographical sketch of Zhuangzi only the most meagre information. It indicates that Zhuangzi was a native of the state of Meng, that his personal name was Zhou, and that he was a minor official at Qiyuan in his home state. He lived during the reign of Prince Wei of Chu (died 327 bce) and was therefore a contemporary of , an eminent Confucian scholar known as China's "Second Sage." According to Sima Qian, Zhuangzi's teachings were drawn primarily from the sayings of Laozi, but his perspective was much broader. He used his literary and philosophical skills to refute the Confucians and Mohists (followers of Mozi, who advocated "concern for everyone").
PhilosophyZhuangzi taught that what can be known or said of the Dao is not the Dao. It has neither initial beginning nor final end, nor limitations or demarcations. Life is the ongoing transformation of the Dao, in which there is no better or worse, no good or evil. Things should be allowed to follow their own course, and men should not value one situation over another. A truly virtuous man is free from the bondage of circumstance, personal attachments, tradition, and the need to reform his world. Zhuangzi declined an offer to be prime minister of the state of Chu because he did not want the entanglements of a court career.In general, Zhuangzi's philosophy is skeptical, arguing that life is limited and knowledge to be gained is unlimited. To use the limited to pursue the unlimited, he said, was foolish. Our language and cognition in general presuppose a dao to which each of us is committed by our separate past—our paths. Consequently, we should be aware that our most carefully considered conclusions might seem misguided had we experienced a different past. "Our heart-minds are completed along with our bodies." Natural dispositions to behavior combine with acquired ones—including dispositions to use names of things, to approve/disapprove based on those names and to act in accordance to the embodied standards. Thinking about and choosing our next step down our dao or path is conditioned by this unique set of natural acquisitions.Zhuangzi's thought can also be considered a precursor of relativism in systems of value. His relativism even leads him to doubt the basis of pragmatic arguments (that a course of action preserves our lives) since this presupposes that life is good and death bad. In the fourth section of "The Great Happiness" (至樂 zhìlè, chapter 18), Zhuangzi expresses pity to a skull he sees lying at the side of the road. Zhuangzi laments that the skull is now dead, but the skull retorts, "How do you know it's bad to be dead?"Another example about two famous courtesans points out that there is no universally objective standard for beauty. This is taken from Chapter 2 (齊物論 qí wù lùn) "On Arranging Things", or "Discussion of Setting Things Right" or, in Burton Watson's translation, "Discussion on Making All Things Equal".
Men claim that Mao [Qiang] and Lady Li were beautiful, but if fish saw them they would dive to the bottom of the stream; if birds saw them they would fly away, and if deer saw them they would break into a run. Of these four, who knows how to fix the standard of beauty in the world? (2, tr. Watson 1968:46)However, this subjectivism is balanced by a kind of sensitive holism in the famous section called "The Happiness of Fish" (魚之樂, yúzhīlè).
Zhuangzi and Huizi were strolling along the dam of the Hao Waterfall when Zhuangzi said, "See how the minnows come out and dart around where they please! That's what fish really enjoy!"Huizi said, "You're not a fish — how do you know what fish enjoy?"Zhuangzi said, "You're not me, so how do you know I don't know what fish enjoy?"Huizi said, "I'm not you, so I certainly don't know what you know. On the other hand, you're certainly not a fish — so that still proves you don't know what fish enjoy!"Zhuangzi said, "Let's go back to your original question, please. You asked me how I know what fish enjoy — so you already knew I knew it when you asked the question. I know it by standing here beside the Hao." (17, tr. Watson 1968:188-9, romanization changed to pinyin)The traditional interpretation of this "Daoist staple", writes Chad Hansen (2003:145), is a "humorous miscommunication between a mystic and a logician".
The Zhuangzi TextThe currently extant text known as the Zhuangzi is the result of the editing and arrangement of the Jin dynasty thinker and commentator Guo Xiang (Kuo Hsiang, d. 312 CE). He reduced what was then a work in fifty-two chapters to the current edition of thirty-three chapters, excising material that he considered to be spurious. His commentary on the text provides an interpretation that has been highly influential over the subsequent centuries.Guo Xiang divided the thirty-three chapters into three collections, known as the Inner Chapters (Neipian), the Outer Chapters (Waipian), and the Miscellaneous Chapters (Zapian). The Inner Chapters are the first seven chapters and are considered to be the work of Zhuangzi himself. The Outer Chapters are chapters 8 to 22, and the Miscellaneous Chapters are chapters 23 to 33. The Outer and Miscellaneous Chapters can be further subdivided. Much modern research has been devoted to a sub-classification of these chapters according to philosophical school. Kuan Feng made some scholarly breakthroughs early in the twentieth century; A. C. Graham continued his classification in the tradition of Kuan Feng. Harold Roth has also taken up a consideration of this issue and come up with some very interesting results. What follows is a simplified version of the results of the research of Liu Xiaogan.According to Liu, chapters 17 to 27 and 32 can be considered to be the work of a school of Zhuangzi's followers, what he calls the Shu Zhuang Pai, or the "Transmitter" school. Graham, following Kuan Feng, considers chapters 22 to 27 and 32 not to be coherent chapters, but merely random "ragbag" collections of fragments. Liu considers chapters 8 to 10, chapters 28 to 31, and the first part of chapter 11 to be from a school of Anarchists whose philosophy is closely related to that of Laozi. Graham, again following in the tradition of Kuan Feng, sees these as two separate but related schools: the first he attributes to a writer he calls the "Primitivist," the second he considers to be a school of followers of Yang Zhu. Liu classifies chapters 12 to 16, chapter 33, and the first part of chapter 11 as belonging to the Huang-Lao school. (Graham refers to the supposed author of these chapters as the "Syncretist.") Graham finds the classification of chapter 16 to be problematic.In the following chart the further to the right the chapters are listed, the further away they are from the central ideas of the Inner Chapters:

Beautiful location and views! Wake up each morning to a glorious sunrise and mountain view for miles. Owners are easy to communicate with and respond quickly to questions about the property. It is even more than we expected.
Home is beautiful, well decorated and very clean. We highly recommend this property for a relaxing vacation or getaway.
My family and I were extremely impressed with this property. The home is very well-maintained, very clean and nicely decorated. It had all the amenities that we were looking for and plenty of room for all of us to be comfortable.The property is even nicer than the pictures online and the views are amazing! Easy access to get to the property and to the main road. Thank you Mike for all of your assistance and for allowing us to stay in your home! We would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives. Can't wait to be back!
We had the pleasure to stay here over the Christmas holidays. The Home was spacious, clean, comfortable, and had an abundance of Feng Shui. It felt like a home filled with love versus a sterile place to hang your clothes for a week. The owners were very friendly and helpful. They wanted us to have an enjoyable time and recommended various adventures in the area. The views of the surrounding mountains were exceptional. I will stay here again the next time I am in the area.
This rental was awesome. We loved everything about it. The views were breathtaking, spent all day on the porch taking in the mountain views. The house was very clean, very spacious, and perfect for our trip. We plan to go back again next year for our annual FALL trip. Hope to come back in the summer also. Great hiking trails and waterfalls near by to explore.
It was like heaven on earth. Better than described even. Pictures were spot on. Clean, Clean , Clean. Loved that about it as I am a clean freak. Even outside was well maintained. Mike, the owner was very responsive and very nice.
We were there for 2 weeks and have been to area many times before and still found things to do that we had not done before.
Highly recommend in Hayesville the Copper Door and the Cottage Deli. Loved the Eagle Fork Winery, brought our lunch and had it in the gazebo down by the babbling creek. The golf course is tough but very playable.
Blue Otter in Hiawassee and Mike's Seafood in Blairsville.
We rented a pontoon for the afternoon and cruised all over Lake Chatuge (sha-toog). that was the best day a must do.
Highly recommend this home. We will be back if at all possible.

Despite suggestions to the contrary, it is rather doubtful that Tony Blair has decided to donate the earnings from his book to appease his "guilty conscience". As we saw recently at the Chilcot inquiry, he has expressed no regret for joining Bush and Cheney in invading Iraq, and equally he has given no indication that he feels any remorse for the uncounted death-toll and wanton destruction of Iraq as a direct result of his participation in "removing Saddam Hussein".
Within his own pious, self-righteous world it is far more likely that he sees it as simply his duty as a "good Christian" to donate this bonus income to a charity which caters for those who have been injured in the line of duty, in particular during his watch as Prime Minister: no blame, no remorse and no regrets.
And as for those who may see his donation as a cynical way of generating book sales, the answer is quite simple. Rather than buy the book and stroke the smug ego, simply donate an equivalent amount to the Royal British Legion and bypass the middle man.
Peter Coghlan
Broadstone, Dorset
There is a precedent for Mr Blair's charitable decision.
After the Second World War, Barnes Wallis, designer of the Dam Busters' "bouncing bomb", initially declined to apply for a monetary award from the Royal Commission on Awards to Inventors. According to his biographer he subsequently changed his mind after hearing a sermon based on II Samuel 23, verses 14-17:
"And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
"And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate! And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well at Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the Lord.
"And he said, be it far from me, O Lord, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives?"
Following this, Wallis applied for, and was eventually awarded, an amount which he then used to establish a charitable foundation for the education of children of RAF personnel.
Same principle, different circumstance, different motivation?

On hearing of Blair's generous donation to the British Legion I was reminded of the line from Bob Dylan's "Masters of War": "All the money you've made will never buy back your soul."
Pat Sheerin

I have never supported the British involvement in the war in Iraq, but I think that Mr Blair has by his personal donation succeeded in drawing attention to the duty we now owe to the armed forces that have paid so high a price for this war. Certainly the Royal British Legion needs the £4m that Mr Blair has donated from the royalties to be expected from his forthcoming book.
As a former prime minister he will be aware of the magnitude of our duty of care to those who will be physically and mentally impaired for the rest of their days. We shall need a great deal more than £4m to fulfil this duty. Perhaps we can all follow Mr Blair's initiative. And the House of Commons itself, having sanctioned the war, ought to be the first to do so. After all, it tamely and uncritically followed him to war.
Gerald Morgan
Lydbrook, Gloucestershire
So "Phoney" Blair has stated he will hand over the reported £4.6m advance payment on his memoirs plus all royalties to the Royal British Legion. What about the 1 million dead Iraqis? The only news on Tony Blair I want to see is that he has been arrested for war crimes, along with George Bush, and jailed.
And I also want to see that, if David Kelly was murdered, whoever sanctioned it also gets treated the same as you or I would be treated for murder; but it won't happen – unless of course we do live in a real democracy.

Invest in new British ideas
The lack of finance for infant technologies highlighted by Steve Connor ("How can Britain turn learning into lucre?", 16 August), is limiting the UK's ability to produce world-beating exports – exports that will lead us out of recession.
Investing in new, unproven technology start-ups is inherently risky. Angel investors, however, go where others won't: they bring not just capital but also industry experience. We need more of them.
Perhaps predictably, US angel investment dwarfs the UK's. If our angels were as prolific – accounting for population size – they would provide around £3.5bn of investment. That is private money, which could significantly outweigh UK research council state funding.
Our current financial predicament doesn't help, but to grow our economy we need to demonstrate commitment to new ideas. If the Government's Enterprise Investment Scheme successfully encourages investors to fund start-ups with increased and focused support, we might have a chance of rivalling the US once again.
We also need more of the young people who have the good ideas in the first place. Rigorous education, particularly in science, engineering, mathematics and technology, plus better collaboration between industry and academia are important parts of the puzzle.
It's not easy to pick winners. Let's leave it to the experts.

The mosque at Ground Zero
President Obama was right to stress, as you point out, that the legal right to build a mosque in the vicinity of Ground Zero is a matter of religious freedom that cannot be denied ("Mr Obama stands up for tolerance", 6 August), but might he not also have taken the opportunity to question whether building a mosque there would really improve interfaith relations in the US, which those behind the project declare to be their intention?
If the goal of the organisers is actually to damage the reputation of American Muslims by undertaking what is viewed as an act of provocation by most New Yorkers and Americans, they could not have thought of a better way to do so.
In recent years Serbs have been attempting to construct Orthodox churches in the vicinity of Srebrenica. However, the Bosniak Muslims harbour feelings of resentment and have urged the authorities to demolish or relocate these churches, even though they are legal.
Instead of declaring the planned building near Ground Zero to be a mosque, surely it would be more sensible to dedicate it as an ecumenical community centre where people of all faiths can pray together? Such a project, financed by Muslims, would bode much better for interfaith relations.
Aymenn Jawad
I wonder if President Obama has even considered that freedom from religion is as much a human right as freedom of religion?
People of all faiths and none perished in the 9/11 atrocity. Their memory would be best served by a monument devoid of the primitive superstition and supernaturalism which caused it.

Hard-working 'day at the races'
In addition to the news on Friday 13 August that the Audit Commission is to be abolished, its staff had to endure reading factually inaccurate press reports.
Your own Nigel Morris ("2,000 jobs to go as Audit Commission is scrapped", 14 August) and Philip Hensher ("Good riddance to the Audit Commission", 16 August) perpetuate the myth that the Commission was somehow reluctant to publish details of its spending.
In fact, I wrote to the Secretary of State on 9 June offering to publish the Commission's £500-plus spending data from July. But we were asked by the Department for Communities and Local Government to delay publication to meet DCLG's own timetable for disclosure, on 12 August. The Commission has always favoured openness, being among the first to publish the expenses of its chairman and chief executive online.
I am also, on behalf of staff, upset at the depiction of "days at the races". The Commission has indeed made payments to Newmarket and Exeter racecourses. But the dates were not race days. The Commission was using meeting and conference facilities for training finance officers. Racecourse facilities often offer good value for meetings compared with hotels or conference centres. The £8,000 payment to Newmarket was for three events, training 90 officers from local authorities and the NHS – around £67 a head. And not a horse in sight.
Mr Hensher asks what the Commission has achieved since exposing Westminster's "homes for votes" scandal in the 1980s. How about this year's corporate governance inspection of Doncaster council, carried out following the brutal attack on two boys by two brothers?
Reading such inaccuracies only increases the shock and disbelief of our 2,000 staff, who now face uncertain futures. It is their role in helping the very significant improvement of local authorities over the past decade that has enabled ministers to have confidence in increasing local authority autonomy.

Stone Age house found at last
The news of the discovery of "Britain's oldest house" at Star Carr (report, 11 August) reminds me that some 50 years ago, my father, Alan Sorrell, was commissioned to make a "reconstruction drawing" of the Mesolithic hunting camp at Star Carr.
Given the large quantities of bones of slaughtered red deer, elk, oxen, beaver and sundry other animals, the worked flints and the ritual objects recovered from the site, he wanted to have huts in his drawing, but, because at that time there was no archaeological evidence for human dwellings, he was obliged to exclude them.
I am sure, if he were alive today, he would be pleased that his artist's vision has been vindicated.

The gender of a French president
Robert Fisk (14 August) wrote about the curious rules concerning French grammatical gender and male and female job titles.
A few years ago, I was on a committee revising the statutes and rules of an international scientific organisation. While these are in English, out of curiosity we asked the two native French speakers (one French, one Belgian and both by chance women) how they would address the President if it were a woman. The Frenchwoman replied without hesitation "Madame le président", the Belgian "Madame la présidente". Evidently the writ of the French Academy does not run in Brussels.
Incidentally, we discussed whether to retain the word "chairman" in our documents or to replace it by "chair". I gave my view that a chair was a piece of furniture and it was insulting to use the word for a distinguished person. The other native English speaker was Irish and he agreed with me – and the word "chairman" remains in the rules as a result of an Anglo-Irish agreement.
Professor Anthony C T North
All should pay for universities
Society needs graduates. We depend on the doctors, lawyers, teachers, scientists, engineers, accountants and all the other graduates who contribute to its functioning, to our increasing standards of living, and to our improving health and wellbeing. But we do not want to pay for them.
To end the discontent over student loans, the Coalition Gvernment proposes a graduate tax, citing the estimated extra £100,000 that is earned by graduates during their working lives. The £2,500 a year this represents is neither substantial, nor is it surprising. Universities select undergraduates on their ability, and even without their degrees these same individuals ought to achieve positions of employment that are better rewarded, and make their contribution.
But there are non-graduates who enjoy equivalently high salaries, while using the services of graduates in both their professional and personal lives. If two individuals, one a graduate, the other not, happen to earn similar salaries, why then should one pay more in taxation for the system of university education both depend on?
A more equitable graduate tax would be not a tax paid by graduates, but a tax paid by all who earn at a certain level, to provide the graduates that society needs. This would bring us back full circle, with the costs of universities met from general taxation. That might be marginally embarrassing, but it might be no bad thing, and it would certainly be simpler to collect.
Cllr Jeff Hanna
Chair, Wimbledon Labour Party, London SW20
Sarah Evans (letter, 10 August) says that "The vast majority of the middle class are ... educated at the taxpayer's expense."
I know the system isn't perfect, but I was under the impression that the more prosperous you are the more tax you pay, whereas state education costs the same for every child. Surely the middle classes are not only paying for their own children's education but, if they are rich enough, that of others as well.
And anyway, the "taxpayers" might be willing to subsidise the education of the governing class if it's the only way to get the school roof mended.

The youth of today
In reply to your front page question "Who would want to be 18 today?" (16 August) the answer is "I would!" If you had been 18 in 1942, as I was, you would not even think of asking such a question. Cannot you sometimes be a bit more positive?

It is shocking that 17-year-olds should be expected to study three or four subjects, learn to drive and have a Saturday job all at the same time (letter, 17 August). Couldn't The Independent organise some kind of campaign to help these people?

Perspectives on the Pakistan floods
Money wasted on a lost cause
Having been greatly moved by your article on 13 August on the plight of Pakistan and its people, I was moved again by another article in the same issue. However, this time I was moved to anger that such people as Ken Follett, Anthony Bailey and Lord Sainsbury should waste hundreds of thousands of pounds to support one candidate or another for something so absurd as the election of a new leader of a political party as dead in the water as is the Labour Party.
How much more respect would these well-heeled donors have commanded had they channelled their cash in the direction of aid to Pakistan, ruined by circumstances beyond human control, rather than to would-be prima donnas in a lost cause.

F lood victims or papal visit?
As a Catholic I was shocked to read that the £7m needed to fund Pope Benedict's visit to the UK in September would be paid for by donations from Mass-going Catholics like me. I feel that such a huge sum of money could be put to better use. I'm sure the millions of people whose lives have been torn apart by the floods in Pakistan would appreciate some financial aid.
Chantelle Kerrigan
Where will our donations go?
I don't believe for a moment that the world is unmoved by the plight of Pakistan. However, when, as you have reported, six months after the Haiti earthquake hardly any of the billions donated has reached those desperate people, how can the aid agencies be surprised at the reluctance to give this time?
If we do give, the charities will be happy, but will the victims of the Pakistan floods be much better off?
Keith Barlow
Eastbourne, East Sussex
Sense of priorities
The United Nations has appealed for $460m to provide relief for the humanitarian crisis in Pakistan. Pakistan's defence budget is now reported to exceed $5bn. Less than 10 per cent of that amount would meet the need in the current crisis.

Hey everyone. I'm in the process of buying a WRX and I've decided that I'm going to put together a carputer for it. I've also decided that I will detail my Saga from start to finish. I haven't started anything yet. I'm planning on making staged install, so tomorrow I will begin by posting my preliminary plans.

Ok, so It's been more like a week, I've been busy. Here are my preliminary plans
Phase 1: Install car computer to be used as a music player using my cellphone as an input method
Phase 2: Install touch screen to control car computer music player
Phase 3: Add functionallity such as gps, interface to my phone, dvd? etc.
Phase 4: Upgrade sound system
Phase 5: Install a head unit
Phase 1 Progress
I recently noticed that more and more cell phones these days are coming equipped with bluetooth. This got me thinking, "What more could I do with this other than those stupid head sets?" So I got the idea to control the music playing on a computer with the phone. I found this website that was very encouraging.
If you aren't interested in reading all that I'll sum it up. Sony Ericsson phones have specialized AT commands that you can send via bluetooth allowing you to add items to the Accessories Menu on the phone. AT commands are the commands that your computer uses to control modems. So if I were to add these menus I could click on them to control the music playing on my computer!
The website specifies use for the T68i model phone, which seems to be outdated. So I figured "Would Sony Ericsson really remove this functionality from their newer phones? I'll just go ahead and get the z520a" See it was relatively cheap because I just signed up with Cingular.
After the purchase I found this website...
Which contains a PDF that outlines all the AT commands available on all of their phones. The good news, using these AT commands I can add menu items to not only the Accessories Menu, but any menu on the phone! The bad news, it doesn't seam trivial to add sub menus. This would make it very difficult to manage the 5000 or so songs I have on my computer.
After hitting this brick wall I got to thinking. Hey...my phone has java, I wonder if I could run a java program that could control the music on my computer? This would be even better than the AT commands for a couple of reasons.
a) To run the AT commands it seems that the computer has to connect to the phone, this is slightly counter productive because I want the phone to control to the computer. With a java program it seems like it should be possible to initiate the program and have the phone connect to the computer. Thus making everything groovy
b) Using a program on the phone just seems more versatile doesn't it?
So I've downloaded the java development platform and am reading all kinds of documentation on working with Java ME (Micro Edition) for mobile devices.
A couple of websites that I've found useful in the java department...
I plan to use Linux with this whole operation because I want to have some flexibility and I am not so sure I want to pay microsoft so that they can make me do everything their way. Besides, I currently have an old computer running as a music server in my living room that I'd also like to be able to control with my phone. I'm hoping that I can write a java program, or modify an existing one that would be a front end for the mpd (music player daemon) that I have running on that computer.
This looks promising
And a little info on mpd
heh.. i see another 2004 rex install coming... sweet...

I am willing to host any legal downloads that may benefit the CarPC community - PM for info
"When you go 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, you don't need a made up character called fast. Thats what makes a Subaru, a Subaru."
So turns out being grad school depletes you of time and money, but I've finally found a little bit of both to come back to the project. I've been looking at themes and none of them really suit my fancy. I don't want a bunch of buttons for things that I won't have in my carpc, I also want something a little more simple than what I've seen out there so here are a few screens of what I'm planning. I'm borrowing heavily from the acura itx skin, as well as the simplistique skin. I hope no one minds.
I use an open source vector drawing program called inkscape to do the black and white mock-ups. I make basic shapes such as circles and squares and combine them to make the various icons.
To make the stars on the Subaru logos I just used the bezier curves tool and basically traced over a logo that I found on the internet.
I have found that the best way to go about this method is to either make shapes that are filled with no outline, or have an outline and are not filled. It makes things easier to change later on. Each icon is drawn up in a separate file and then resized and added to menu drawing.
After a menu is made up in black and white, I basically use it as a stencil in Gimp which is an open source raster drawing program. Here is an example of what the above menus will look like when finished.
For the brushed metal look I do a gradient from aaaaaa grey to around 555555 grey. Then add rgb noise under the filters->noise menu at 20% on red, green, and blue. Next a motion blur (filters->blur->motion blur) is done with a length of 60 and an angle of 10.
At this point I select the regions in black and delete them from the brushed metal. I then add a layer underneath and select a blue gradient from the middle outwards. I don't have specific numbers on the blue that I used, I just selected a random light blue and dark blue. I then applied the same rgb noise/motion blur to this blue gradient. I then added a gradient flare on this layer in the center of the subaru logo. And reapplied the rgb noise/motion blur combination.
Once the colors are mapped out I select the regions that I just cut out of the brushed metal, invert the selection so that everything that is a brushed metal color on the top layer is selected. I then added drop shadow and bevel from the filters->lighting effects menu. This was done with settings of x=1 y=2 I believe. It is possible that those values are reversed (just affects which way the light looks like it is coming from). That makes the brushed metal appear to raise up. I next selected the WRX logo from my black and white stencil (which at this point is underneath both the blue and brushed metal layers) and apply the same drop shadow and bevel effect to it.
Feel free to leave suggestions, and I will hopefully be able to stay on top of this project now. I'm pretty excited that I may finally get this thing going.
I ordered parts last week here's the list
Intel D201GLY Little Valley Mobo 1.3GHz Celeron Processor
512MB Kingston 667 DDR2 RAM
Lilliput 7" Touch Screen
And just today I ordered
Subaru Bolt-In Kit
Seagate Extreme Conditions 40GB 2.5" ATA Hard drive (operates at -25C)
As of now I've been installing the system.
Step 1: Running Windows XP Pro sp2 and installing on an old 3.5" hard drive I had laying around (Just to get everything working)
After installing the drivers for the touchscreen, graphics chip, and audio controller Almost everything was working well I'm still struggling a little bit with the 800x480 resolution. The D201GLY has native support for this, but for some reason when I first set it my lilliput would cut off 90 pixels from the top and bottom as if it were displaying 800x600. It was as if I were watching a movie in letterbox format.
Resetting the Lilliput solved this (kind of) after reseting it acts as if displaying 800x480. For example my Road Runner skin that is set to display at 800x480 does open in full screen. However when using this image
the lines are squeezed together a bit at regular intervals. Further more when I enter the menu on the Lilliput it says that it is displaying at 640x480
After reading a lot of posts on the whole 800x480 business, I guess I should just count my lucky stars that it is displaying 800x480 at all, and that circles look like circles.
I designed this so that it would be fairly obvious what the buttons are (at least to myself) but here is the rundown since the whole world doesn't think like I do.
top left power button: brings up the power button menu (last screen in the list)
Left of the Subaru symbol:
skull looking music guy: brings up the audio player (second screen)
circle looking globe thing: brings up the gps screen(fourth screen)
Right of the Subaru Symbol:
phone: brings up phoco support (not implemented yet, I just don't have phoco!)
hammer and chisel: brings up the setup menu (also not implemented yet, still contemplating everything I want to put in
Volume controls are in the lower left hand corner mute, volume down, and volume up respectively. And next to those is the volume indicator
audio player:
arrow next to power button: goes to previous screen
Left column:
stop button
previous track/rewind
shuffle/repeat toggle
lightning bolt: visualization (if I can get some sort of ipod integration I might replace this button)
Right column:
next track/fast forward
magnifying glass: brings up osk to search the playlist
music note: brings up the audio bowser
To the Right of the Playlist:
top: page up
top middle: move selection up one song
bottom middle: move selection down one song
bottom: page down
Buttom Right:
cross: remove selected song
cross in folder: remove entire playlist
floppy disk: brings up the osk to save the playlist
open folder: load a playlist
Directly under the playlist there is a bar indicating song position (it is clickable, and I think I am going to replace the solid colored indicator with a glow type thing, like is seen around the magnifying glass)
I pressed the magnifying glass to show what a button looks like when it is pressed. It gets a light blue alien glow around it.
Audio Browser:
On the left:
Plus: Add currently selected song
Empty Folder: Replace current playlist with the current directory
Folder with plus: Add current directory to playlist
Magnifying glass: osk to search
skull music guy: go back to audio player
Hopefully this one is pretty obvious all the buttons are labeled, except I forgot to label the two in the bottom left corner (move cursor left and move cursor right)
It should also be noted that the input text area at the top of the screen looks ugly, I am going to have to redesign the jpg I use for the skin so that it is just solid color up there
magnifying glasses:
plus: zoom in
minus: zoom out
plus or minus 'a': text size
flag: find near
globe circle thing: gps pane
satellite: not designated yet
compass rose(bottom left): not designated yet, probably driving directions
moon/sun type thing: if in night skin will change the map to night skin, if in day skin will change the map to terrain
squiggly arrow: brings up osk to enter and address and inserts it into the plan trip menu
(right now this works kind of funny, you type into the osk, then you have to press this button again and hit enter from the osk again, then your address is input. I'll have to debug some more. I'm thinking of either having multiple buttons, one for osk, then one for input trip. Or maybe having an intermediate menu.)
arrows in circle: reroute
Power menu:
Left of Subaru Symbol:
power symbol: shut down
power synmbol with a 'z' in it: stand by (my board doesn't have hibernate so I didn't make a button)
power button with arrows: restart
Right of Subaru Symbol:
cross: exit RoadRunner
moon/sun: toggles day night skins
question mark: About
So there is the run down, perhaps in a couple days I'll post some detail on how I wrote the skin.

Steve Aoki ft Waka Flocka 'Rage the Night Away' [Audio]
When artists from various genres come together to make music, the result is usually pretty damn good. This collaboration is no different. Electro's Steve Aoki has teamed up with Waka Flocka for his latest club bumper, "Rage the Night Away" off his upcoming album, Neon Future. This is one of those songs you just keep on dancing to, even if you don't know how! Now perhaps Flocka just needed somethingggg to do, and for that, I can't blame him. I actually really like this song. Can all my fist bumpers please stand up?!

Vascular Pigmented Laser is an effective, and non-surgical method to reduce the appearance of pigmented lesions regardless of skin type by exposing them to short pulses of visible light. This causes a sharp rise in temperature in the concentrated melanin, thereby destroying cells that contain excess melanin. The ensuing cell regeneration process results in the improved appearance and texture of pigmented lesions.
Who gets it?
Pigmented lesions occur in people with all skin types, their appearance, texture and relief variations are usually attributed to:
- Sun Exposure
Congenital factors
While most pigmented lesions are cosmetic in nature, in some cases they are early signs of skin cancer and should be diagnosed by a medical professional.
Treatment Options
As red skin lesions (those containing predominantly blood vessels) and brown pigmented lesions specifically absorb the laser light, the target lesion can be selectively heated and destroyed without any destruction of the overlying skin or surrounding tissues. In other words, most treatable lesions can be removed effectively with minimal, if any, residual blemish.
This cosmetic service may not be offered at all Forefront Dermatology locations. Please call to confirm this service is performed at your preferred location.

Two of the three shortlisted for best play are under 31: Nick Payne, 28, forConstellations, James Graham, 30, for This House. They are competing with Caryl Churchill for Love and Information.
The Young Vic is shortlisted more than any other theatre with Carrie Cracknell's A Doll's House and Ian Rickson's Hamlet for best director, Miriam Buether's Wild Swans and Ian MacNeil's A Doll's House for best design, and Hattie Morahan in A Doll's House for the Natasha Richardson award.
In the Ned Sherrin Award for best musical, two of the three shortlisted are transfers from the Chichester Festival: Singin' in the Rain and Sweeney Todd.
"This year's shortlist serves to remind what is so great about London's theatre – new plays by young writers, classic drama reimagined in the most exciting ways and a host of unforgettable performances," said Sarah Sands, Editor of the Evening Standard.

2015 Terroir Muscat Canelli
The key to making Muscat Canelli is finding the right balance between sweetness and acidity without compromising the unique Muscat character. The 2015 Muscat Canelli is a very delicate yet intensely fragrant white wine with aromas of white peach, apricot, pear nectar, honeysuckle, and orange blossom. The wine's sweetness is offset by a crisp, light acidity and slight mineral character. Pair with fruit plates, ice cream, sorbet, or pecan pie. Chilled well, this Muscat Canelli makes for a refreshing apéritif on a summer day.
The 2015 growing season saw above-average temperatures, providing the perfect growing conditions throughout Washington state. Fruit for this Muscat Canelli was exclusively harvested from the Andrews & Rowell Vineyard in Horse Heaven Hills, where warmer temperatures caused a much earlier-than-normal ripening in late August.
The wine was slowly fermented with Epernay II Yeast at 52º–57ºF in stainless steel until it reached 7º Brix. It was then racked and chilled to 29ºF. To retain its fresh, fruity aromas, the Muscat went directly to bottle with no barrel aging.
Harvest Dates: August 28, 2015
Appellation: Horse Heaven Hills
Varietal Percentages: 100% Muscat Canelli
Brix at Harvest: 25.4°
RS: 83.7g/L
TA: 7.2g/L
pH: 3.30
Alcohol: 10.5%
Case Production: 151

Brad Pitt is an American born actor that has taken the action movie scene by storm the past 10 years. Expanding his role from an actor to include producing and directing Brad Pitt's star is on the rise. Brad Pitt pictures gallery with his partner Angelina Jolie and their kids.
With his new drama "12 Years a Slave" slated to hit theaters October 18th, Brad Pitt scored the cover spot of The Hollywood Reporter's latest issue.
Standing alongside co-star Chiwtel Ejiofor, the "Fight Club" hunk chatted about going against all odds in his recent horror flick "World War Z" and his thoughts on retiring from the big screen.
Their relationship is the subject of constant speculation, and it seems Angelina Jolie may have tied the knot with Brad Pitt in a secret wedding ceremony.
The "Changeling" actress stepped out in Bondi Beach, Australia on Sunday (September 29) sporting two rings on her left-hand ring finger, sparking reports that she and her "Fight Club" fiancé finally took a stroll down the aisle.
Hard at work on their new gig, Brad Pitt and Shia LaBeouf filmed scenes for "Fury" in London, England on Monday (September 30).
The "Curious Case of Benjamin Button" star and the "Nymphomaniac" stud were all done up in fully army garb as they teamed up for the World War II action.
Taking a break from filming his latest movie to spend some time with the kids, Brad Pitt went to Legoland in Windsor, UK on Sunday (September 29).
The "Fight Club" star was dressed in all black as he patiently waited in line for a water ride with twins Vivienne and Knox.
Boasting one of the hottest casts of the year, "The Counselor" has just released a new preview clip for everyone's viewing pleasure.
Directed by living legend Ridley Scott, the forthcoming 20th Century Fox flick is scheduled to hit theaters on October 25th.
Giving fans a sneak peek at a highly anticipated film, writer/director David Ayer tweeted the first photo from "Fury" on Wednesday (September 18).
The snapshot shows stars Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Pena, and Jon Bernthal sitting on top of a tank dressed in military fatigues.
He's always up for a good time, and when Brad Pitt learned that there was a wedding taking place in his London hotel, he couldn't resist showing up.
The "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" stud crashed the reception of bride Abi Lingwood after her new hubby Daniel persuaded him to show up and make the blessed occasion even more special.
Long gone is his man mane, and Brad Pitt looked proud as he paraded his preppy side-part on the set of "Fury" in London on Saturday (September 14).
The "Curious Case of Benjamin Button" hunk smiled for the shutterbugs from behind a pair of smart-looking spectacles as he strolled inside to film scenes for the much-anticipated flick.
After eleven days of film premieres, the Toronto International Film Festival is wrapping up, but not before handing out some awards on Sunday (September 15).
Taking top honors overall, winning the People's Choice Award, was "12 Years a Slave," starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Brad Pitt.
Featuring a cast full of A-listers, Twentieth Century Fox released two new clips from "The Counselor" on Wednesday (September 11).
Directed by Ridley Scott, the film follows a lawyer who finds himself in over his head when he gets involved in drug trafficking.

1. Re: How to detect character file encoding?sabre150 Sep 2, 2013 9:08 AM (in response to ptoye)
ptoye wrote: Agreed, quite a lot of applications don't insert the magic numbers
A gross understatement. Very very few application prepend the BOM character encoding magic numbers to text files.
ptoye wrote: but if even Notepad can do it, surely Java can read it?
Notepad is not a good advertisement for anything but I agree that I would have expected some option on StreamReader and StreamWriter to handle the BOM magic numbers. Several years ago I posted on the Sun forums a much plagiarised class to strip the BOM prefix. Since then I have created but not published Reader and Writer classes that handle the BOM. I have not published them because I'm not happy with my approach but at the moment I'm not actively working with Java so its a case of 'out of sight, out of mind' . This thread may push me into working on them again.
2. Re: How to detect character file encoding?ptoye Sep 2, 2013 8:59 AM (in response to sabre150)
Take your point about Notepad . It's not important now, as I've got round it. I was just a bit surprised that there wasn't already something in the nio package which did the work for me.
There also seem to be quite a few encodings missing from java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets - the most important that I can think of being the various 8-bit extensions to ASCII. OK, they're not official standards, but are used by a lot of programs.
3. Re: How to detect character file encoding?ptoye Sep 19, 2013 11:25 AM (in response to sabre150)
OK, if not Notepad, then look at the .NET API.
StreamReader Constructor (String, Encoding, Boolean) (System.IO) is a good place to start.

What's needed is something like the first of these, but I can see how it's difficult to do this with the current BufferedReader class as returned by newBufferedReader. Certainly one imperative is that the charset used for any translation is available to the user, which isn't currently the case.
Also, similar changes are needed for output streams to add the preambles.
I've submitted this as an RFE, so we'll see what happens.

I am very happy to have a job in this economy. I am sure there are many Americans in the un-employment line that would gladly trade you places.
Be thankful for what you have!!!
Forget that! Im home collecting a check while you suckas are out workin!!!!
Hey STOOPER try to find a good product and stay off cafepharma. You keep bringing up unemployment but as you cut rep's commissions because your Goofy ass is greedy and you could not sell yourself.
I am trying to move my doctors up the space time continuum, but doc brown doesn't like the strep pnuemo coverage. The flux copasator in my Ipad won't get up to 88 miles an hour and Marty McFly has to go Back to the Future to save Cedax sales.
What is a rep to do?
Whether or not someone could sell Cough/Cold has no bearing on sales ability. There is no selling going on with Cough/Cold.
My product has 1.5 more Mg of DM than yours.
Whatever, 100 mg expectorant is not a therapeutic dose
Whatever, mine taste better than yours,
Whatever, I am on Medicaid and your not.
Oh, your on Medicaid, I will write your product.
Cough/Cold proves nothing. Dropping samples, giving your 30 second detail on the amount of Antihistimine proves nothing.
The true players sell Cedax and Natroba. That proves sales ability.
Medicaid coverage on Cough Cold proves nothing. I guess we will never know whether or not Cooper could sell. He never sold Cedax. Although, he does manage to sell a small force of studs from small pharma to wallstreet everyday. I would say he is a hell of salesman.
Play on Playa
Are you kidding??!! The pay is HORRIBLE!!!!!
It is cafe pharma policy that all post are anonymous!!! So, if there is a subpoena, there is nothing to give up. Don't listen to any more corporate emails, use your freedom of speech to communicate about issues in the field. This our site!! Stay the hell off management!! Zyberians speak your mind.

Who doesn't love a good Maine mystery?
PORTLAND – For a relatively small state, Maine often boasts about its writing community, and in particular, the group of writers who seems drawn to create mysterious and sometimes terrifying stories. They seem to like nothing better than to tell a tall tale that involves the darker side of humanity and the crimes they commit. […]
Ireland – To many from Maine, a place that feels like home.
On nearly our last full day in Ireland, we decided to try to visit three treasures. In the morning, we drove to the Cliffs of Moher and braved the sudden and seemingly endless winds that blew ashore from the North Atlantic.
The weren't more than 50 cars in the parking lot, a very small number for one of the most popular tourist attractions in this part of Ireland, and because of the weather, we decided to try to park closer to the visitor center.
Ireland – like Maine, a land of writers, artists and poets
Today was rainy, cold and often too windy for any outdoor activities, but as teachers and hardy travelers, we found some interesting and amazing sights only minutes from where we are staying in Adare. Best of all, in my mind, the place we planned to see was directly connected to writing and history.
Ireland – like Maine, a land of stoic, resilient, and hardworking people
GALWAY, Ireland – Maybe it's knowing that I plan to write about our travels every day, but everywhere we go in this beautiful country, the people and places here remind me of home. The weather forecast for today called for a cloudy and drizzly morning, so we decided it might be a good day to take a […]
Ireland – a land for sweaters, scarves, and all things woolen
When we tell people we meet that we are from Maine, in the United States, they often look at us and within seconds say, "that's cold." They're right of course, but Ireland also seems to be a land that understands the benefits of layering and a good dose of wool, not to mention a solid pair of walking shoes or boots.
Ireland – a land filled with connections to Maine
Welcome to the land of perpetual green fields, misty conditions, and driving on the 'other' side of the road. Like many people, my wife and I traveled with two close friends from Boston to Dublin (via Heathrow) to spend a week away from the stress and confusion that often fills our daily lives. For the next six days, as we wander through the countryside, we'll try to find a connection every day to snowy and cold shores we just left. Here's day one.
School Vacation – A week of chasing stories, ghosts, and a land not forgotten
Mary's Walk dedicated to longtime volunteer – Ken Janson
SACO – Spring is just around the corner. At least that's what we tell ourselves during the middle of the winter (especially this week). For many people in and around the Saco-Biddeford area, spring is also the time for Mary's Walk and the Kerrymen 5K. Both events take place the first Sunday after St. Patrick's […]
Teaching Trump – Day 1
For many reasons, this past year has been memorable and as a teacher, I have never had more questions or discussions in class about current events and politics. As a class experiment, we have decided to document the next 365 days of Donald Trump's presidency, to create a journal of sorts that identifies the issues and topics that come up in class. We'll simply label them "Teaching Trump." I'll place them in a separate category here on MySecretMaine.com and I hope readers will be respectful of the opinions of others.

Magneto-optics on the edge
The figure shows a secondary electron microscopy image of one of the nano-scale engineered samples consisting of 400 nm diameter permalloy disks that were fabricated by means of electron beam lithography. The center disk has the lateral distribution of the magneto-optical response superimposed as a color-coded image. The strongly enhanced edge-excitation of the magneto-optical response is visible as a yellow rim structure here. Magneto-optics is a crucial characterization and detection technique for materials and devices. Hereby, the technique benefits from its high sensitivity and its compatibility with almost any environment due to its contact-free nature.
Recently, numerous efforts (also at nanoGUNE, see e.g. "Tuning the Magneto-Optical Response of Nanosize Ferromagnetic Ni Disks Using the Phase of Localized Plasmons" and "Ultrasensitive and label-free molecular-level detection enabled by light phase control in magnetoplasmonic nanoantennas") have been made to pair magneto-optics with plasmonics to achieve even higher sensitivities in designer materials or applications.
The present work now demonstrates that nanofabrication and nano-shape design allow for an increase and tunability of magneto-optical effects that is completely independent from optical or plasmonic resonances and thus not dependent on the photon energy of the exciting radiation, making it widely applicable.
Specifically, this combined experimental and modeling study shows that in disk shaped samples, a magneto-optical response can be generated that is massively enhanced at the edges, leading to a ring of fire for the magneto-optical effect, as being shown in the figure on the right.
In general, magneto-optical effects are caused by the quantum mechanical spin-orbit interaction and its influence on the electronic band structure. Correspondingly, magneto-optics is strongly associated with materials properties that result from the electronic structure. The influence of sample geometry onto magneto-optical effects on the other hand has so far only been associated with optical resonances, but resonance independent effects that originate from the specific self-interaction of the magneto-optically induced radiation pattern have not been observed. The reason for this is the fact that such behavior is extremely localized and thus only observable for small nano-scale structures.
|The work led by the nanoGUNE team has now succeeded in demonstrating that in such nano-scale structures, geometry induced effects can be extremely strong and they even can result in a doubling of the area averaged magneto-optical signal for a 100 nm diameter disk. Therefore, this new work opens up excellent nano-engineering opportunities towards enhanced and generally designed magneto-optical properties in nano-materials.

The Volvo World Match Play champion had to finish first or second just to have a chance of finishing the season as Europe's number one.
But he ran up the only double bogey six of the day on the 454-yard opening hole and then had to work hard for a par five on the next. At two over he was already eight adrift of fellow Englishman Chris Wood, who with a 66 made a sparkling return after tearing ankle ligaments falling down some steps in Spain a month ago.
The 21-year-old, third at the Open in July, turned in 34 and then finished with four successive birdies.
It gave him a two-stroke lead over China's Liang Wen-chong, South African Thomas Aiken - they were both in the clubhouse - Padraig Harrington, Adam Scott, Retief Goosen and Camilo Villegas.
Fisher was over £388,000 behind money list leader Rory McIlroy, who saved par from a fairway bunker on the first and then birdied the second with a seven-foot putt.
The 58-strong field teed off in reverse "Race to Dubai" order, which meant 20-year-old McIlroy, trying to become the youngest Order of Merit winner since Seve Ballesteros in 1976, was paired with his closest challenger Lee Westwood.
The Worksop golfer, seeking to regain the crown he held in 2000, parred the first two holes, as did German Martin Kaymer playing alongside Fisher.
McIlroy will take the title regardless of how he plays if Westwood finishes outside the top seven, Kaymer the top four and Fisher the top two.
But with a first prize of nearly £745,000 McIlroy, Westwood and Kaymer all went into the event knowing that victory would also bring them a bonus of nearly £900,000.

Occasional sex with your ex can be a wonderful thing. This type of arrangement can continue happily for years if both parties are truly on the same page about what it means. However, a continued post-relationship affair can often be the result of willful ignorance, as well.
Every situation is different, and I'm not going to tell you, unequivocally, to put the breaks on a non-traditional relationship that might be working just fine for you. But, if you notice any of the following signs, you may want to think about cutting the cord.
