Three survivors were transported by helicopter to a Honolulu hospital, two declined to be medically evacuated, and three were taken to Molokai General Hospital with minor injuries, officials said.
Molokai hospital staff helped them dry their clothing and gave them a place to rest until they could get rooms at the island's only hotel, Lite said. They checked out of the hotel early Thursday.
No further information was available on the other passengers or the pilot.
Fuddy and Yamamoto were on the flight after an annual visit to Kalaupapa, where the state exiled leprosy patients until 1969. The area is accessible only by plane or mule.

Wisconsin ranks second in the conference in total defense, allowing 307.9 yards per game, in part because of the Badgers run defense. Wisconsin ranks 12th in the country, allowing just 111.3 yards per game.
It's a line that a lot of upperclassmen experience, as defensive ends David Gilbert (junior) and Brendan Kelly (senior) and junior defensive tackles Beau Allen and Ethan Hemer have played well.
Although the numbers don't jump out (the line has combined for 30.5 tackles for loss and 16.5 sacks this season), Wisconsin's defensive line held Ohio State to a season-low 139 rushing yards and Le'Veon Bell, who leads the Big Ten in carries (350) and yards (1,648) to only 77 rushing yards.
Wisconsin's starting three linebackers are probably one of the best units in the nation. Senior Mike Taylor finished the regular season with 115 tackles (his second straight 100 tackle season) and has averaged 10.2 tackles per game over the past two seasons.
In his last seven games, junior middle linebacker Chris Borland has averaged 8.6 tackles and recorded eight tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, broken up four passes, forced a fumble and recovered three fumbles. Borland has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, as UW didn't want to put him out there at less than 100 percent in two meaningless games.
The forgotten linebacker of the group is junior Ethan Armstrong, a former walk-on who was put on scholarship this past summer. After missing all of the postseason last year and all of spring ball following hip surgery, Armstrong has been solid, finishing second on the team with 83 tackles.
Ohio State entered its game against Wisconsin two weeks ago averaging 41.3 points per game, but the linebackers were a big part in hoping the Buckeyes to only seven offensive points in regulation.
Wisconsin has held seven of the Badgers' 12 opponents this season to 20 points or fewer and allowed just 18.3 points in conference play, the second-best mark in the conference. Since playing Nebraska, Wisconsin is giving up 16.6 points per game, the best mark in the conference.
A big reason for that success is the secondary play that includes two senior cornerbacks (Marcus Cromartie and Devin Smith) who earned All-Big Ten honors and a safety (Shelton Johnson) who broke his arm in week two and missed three games, including the Nebraska game. Junior Dezmen Southward fills out the group
Smith has been UW's best defender. He ranks fourth in the conference with 15 passes defended and is tied for fifth in the league with three interceptions. There have been some games where the opponents throw very little action his way; a credit to how good he has been.
Wisconsin's opponents have attempted an average of 34.2 passes per game in 2012, the fifth-most passes a Big Ten team has faced this year. Still, the Badgers rank third in the conference in opponents' completion percentage at 54.6 and 5.8 yards per attempt (Nebraska's defense leads in both of those categories).
Special Teams
Sophomore kicker Kyle French is 10-for-15 on the season, but has struggled as of late. He missed a critical 40-yard kick in regulation against Ohio State and missed a 44-yard try that would have extended overtime against Penn State. He had made his five previous tries before that with a long of 43. Redshirt freshman punter Drew Meyer has been a nice surprise. Making 70 punts this season, Meyer has averaged 41 yards per kick with 11 going over 50 yards, 31 inside the 20 and five going into the end zone. Wisconsin leads the Big Ten in both kickoff returns (23.0 per return) and kickoff coverage (41 net yards per kickoff). The punt coverage unit has been generally good, although UW did give up a huge bust and a 67-yard touchdown to Ohio State's Corey Brown that was the difference in the game.

QB NE (9) 4 years ago5 Comments
The Providence Journal suggests that Tom Brady has entered his decline phase going on age 36.
The only noticeable decline in games has been Brady's downfield passing ability, but there are stats that support this notion. Brady's 2012 completion rate was his lowest since 2006, and his YPA was his worst since 2008. In December, Brady completed only 58.5 percent with a 7.0 YPA and five interceptions. The Providence Journal suggests "reducing Brady's workload" -- lessening his pass attempts while leaning more on Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen.
Ghost_Lombardi 4 years ago
His stats this year are really twofold: with and without Gronk. With Gronk he was still a monster QB. Without, he was merely above average.
The Patriots still need help at WR.

Meet the Teenage Codebreaker Who Helped Solve the Cicada 3301 Internet Puzzle
(Listen to the full, podcast audio version of this story with additional detail here)
In November The Telegraph ran a wildly popular article about "the internet mystery that has the world baffled." We bring you the story of a young hacker who solved the most elaborate puzzle quest we've ever heard about: Cicada 3301. And about the equally mysterious invitation at the end of the adventure.
Almost exactly two years ago, in January 2012, people reading an internet bulletin board called 4chan stumbled on an enigmatic message written in white sans serif on a square black background.
"Hello. We are looking for highly intelligent individuals," it read. "To find them, we have devised a test."
The text went on to say there was a message hidden inside the black-and-white image: "Find it, and it will lead you on the road to finding us."
The sign-off was just as cryptic: "Good luck. 3301."
And that was it.
One person who puzzled over that message was a self-taught programmer from the San Francisco Bay area, a teenager who goes by his internet handle Tekk.nolagi.
Tekk, as we'll call him (as he didn't want his real named used), was sitting in his high school robotics lab when a classmate showed him the post. Curious what the crytpic message might be about, he solved it in short order. That was the point. The message was bait for a specific kind of talented mind, someone who breaks codes for fun, someone who can latch onto a challenge and follow it through. Corporations and governments have both been known to use puzzles to recruit, but this one was by far more elaborate, intimidating, and at times, fearsome.
This puzzle has come to be known as Cicada 3301. New Tech City learned about Cicada 3301 from journalist Chris Bell in his November article in the Telegraph. (Chris appears in this week's New Tech City podcast in which we tell the full story of Cicada 3301, along with what happens after the last puzzle was solved.)
As Bell described it, thousands of tech-minded people attacked the clues and challenges presented by the mysterious group with the cicada motif calling itself 3301. Solving each successive mystery became increasingly complicated. An early puzzle used double entendres as clues and a Caesar Cipher, an encryption technique from the Roman Empire where you shift letters of the alphabet over by a few places. One challenge forced the hunters to find an ancient manuscript about King Arthur, which was the key to something known as a book cipher, where the puzzlers give a page and column number for different letters. That led to a phone number to call where a robotic voice threw out clues about prime numbers.
Most mysterious of all was a clue that pointed to GPS coordinates in about 10 cities, demanding that players physically go and scan a barcode taped to a lamppost in a public place. This was no small feat to execute.
The cicada hunt impressed the players because it went beyond the bounds of normal internet brainteasers or corporate recruiting drives. It required technical understanding of computer skills like PGP encryption and programming as well as expertise in arcane and niche subject areas from Mayan numerology and pre-Christian Welsh literature.
To win, many formed teams with others who might have compatible areas of expertise. Tekk invited a skilled 10-person team who were each contributing more substantially to the message board and chat rooms that had sprung up devoted to solving 3301. The collective was international with codebreakers using monikers like: manbearpig, snogbarth and joaquin. The team name was more straightforward: #decipher.
This team was good. With members spread around the world, there was always someone from #decipher awake, monitoring for new clues, ready to get to work. They pooled their resources and tricked their adversaries.
"People in our group decided to keep ourselves ahead, and we did that in a kind of messed-up way. We deceived the other group on to some crazy goose chase that we concocted," Tekk told me in a Skype interview.
At the end of it though, there was a cliffhanger — a website that asked code breakers to enter contact information to keep playing. But after a few did so, the website shut down, blocking out the rest of the pack.
"The chosen few received personal emails — detailing what, none have said," Bell wrote. "We are no closer to knowing the source, or fundamental purpose, of Cicada 3301."
But Tekk and his teammates, they were among the chosen few who solved the puzzle. And they spoke to us about what came next.
At first there were more ciphers, more puzzles to solve, and they got harder, tapping new skills. There was a 112-digit prime number to factor, a computing task so laborious it required renting a special server to run for seven hours.
At one point, Tekk and his compatriots were sent another email (leaked here) with something like a personality quiz.
"You had to answer questions about what interest you had in encryption, why you wanted to be a part of this. It was sort of a weird personality thing," Tekk said.
Eventually, each person in Tekk's group was sent an individualized username and password for logging in to a site on the so-called "darknet."
"On this web portal, there was a chat system, a forum system and a bunch of things set up so we could all communicate," Tekk said. "I guess their goal for us was to have this elite programmer society where we would make encrypted or anonymous services that would serve everybody."
Throughout the quest, solvers speculated on who was behind the Cicada 3301 cryptograms. Some imagined it was the NSA or the British spy agency, MI6. Others said Google or Microsoft. Still others thought it might be a hacker collective or some group with nefarious aims.
According to Tekk, it was a group of anonymous developers looking to recruit "highly intelligent individuals" to build open-source software for the good of the world.
Which, it turned out, was kind of a letdown for the members of #decipher, including Tekk.
"Once we succeeded, once we were part of this thing, once we were working with them, we kind of lost interest," he said.
Perhaps that explains why Cicada 3301 was not a one-time phenomenon. A similar set of elaborate puzzles sprang up in January 2013, almost exactly a year after the first quest. That begs the question: Will there be a third round in January 2014?
No one knows.
To hear more about Cicada 3301, including more of Tekk's story, listen to this week's New Tech City podcast, available Wednesday at New Tech City and on iTunes.

U.S. Federal Reserve Beige Book: Atlanta District (Text)
The following is the text of the Federal Reserve Board's Sixth District-- Atlanta.
Business contacts indicated that from late November through December overall economic conditions improved moderately in the Sixth District. The outlook among contacts was optimistic with most expecting modest growth for early 2014.
District merchants noted positive year-over-year holiday sales growth with on-line sales outpacing traditional store sales. The hospitality sector continued to experience the same solid pace of activity that it had all year long. Similar to the previous report, residential housing brokers noted that existing home sales growth continued to slow, while homebuilders experienced modest growth in new home sales. Commercial contractors described construction activity as improving, especially in the multifamily segment of the market. Manufacturers indicated that overall activity strengthened since the previous report. Banking contacts noted that applications for mortgage loans were down. Employment levels across the District grew at a mild pace, while cost pressures remained stable.
Consumer Spending and Tourism.
Prior to the start of the holiday season, retailers expressed concerns about the fewer number of shopping days as compared to 2012 due to the timing of Thanksgiving. However, many merchants indicated that by offering deeply discounted merchandise and extended hours of operation, their stores experienced positive sales growth over the reporting period. Reports also indicated on-line retailers fared better than the traditional brick-and-mortar stores. Automotive dealers continued to cite solid vehicle sales.
Hospitality contacts noted that occupancy rates, revenue per available room, and room rates for the holiday season exceeded year-ago levels. Hoteliers anticipate that this winter season will outperform last year based on advanced bookings. In the coming months, some District cities are expecting an increase in visitors from the addition of new direct international flights as well as new area attractions.
Real Estate and Construction.
District brokers indicated that growth in existing home sales slowed in recent months. The majority of brokers said sales were flat to slightly up compared with a year earlier but below their plan for the period. By most accounts, inventory levels were flat to slightly down on a year-over-year basis. Most contacts reported that home prices remained ahead of the year earlier level but that price gains have slowed on a month-over-month basis. The outlook among brokers has improved since our last report with more contacts anticipating that sales will be slightly up on a year-over-year basis over the next several months.
Reports from District builders were more positive than broker reports. Most contacts agreed that recent activity was in line with their plan for the period. The majority of builders noted that construction activity and new home sales were ahead of the year earlier level. Reports indicated that unsold inventory levels were flat to slightly down. The majority of builders reported modest home price appreciation. The outlook for new home sales and construction activity remained positive among most contacts.
District brokers noted that demand for commercial real estate continued to improve, though they cautioned that the rate of improvement varied by metropolitan area, submarket, and property type. Construction activity continued to increase at a modest pace from earlier in the year; contacts noted that apartment construction was still much more robust than construction in the other sectors. New build-to-suit projects continued to break ground across the region and landlords continued to update and reconfigure existing space to make it ready for tenants. The outlook among District commercial real estate contacts remained positive with further improvements expected early in 2014.
Manufacturing and Transportation.
Manufacturing activity strengthened slightly during the reporting period. Contacts reported gains in new orders and production. Manufacturers also noted that commodity prices were relatively flat and employment modestly increased. Finished inventories decreased as businesses looked to reduce inventory levels, and purchasing agents experienced longer wait times for materials ordered from their suppliers. Optimism regarding future production continued as auto manufacturers experienced strong sales in November. Nearly half of contacts expect production levels to increase over the next three to six months.
Logistics contacts noted year-to-date increases in the movement of industrial and healthcare-oriented goods. Delays in holiday shipments to consumers were reportedly due to the shortened shopping season, higher than expected on-line sales, adverse weather conditions, and lower inventory levels at distribution centers. Rail contacts cited year-over-year increases in intermodal traffic supported primarily by significant increases in the movement of petroleum products. Trucking contacts anticipate that tonnage will increase substantially over the previous year buoyed by growing sectors of the economy that generate heavier freight loads, such as residential construction and energy production.
Banking and Finance.
Community bank contacts expressed continued concern about the implementation of qualified mortgage requirements in 2014 and the possible negative effect on mortgage lending, particularly as some mortgage lenders exit the mortgage lending business altogether or change their business models because of the added risks. Some lenders indicated they were shifting their focus from residential mortgages to small business and commercial real estate loans. Overall, applications for mortgage loans were down as refinancing activity slowed.
Competition for qualified borrowers continued to increase and individual bankers attributed much of their increased market share of lending to luring loans away from other banks. Non-revolving credit continued to increase mostly due to robust vehicle sales.
Employment and Prices.
Businesses did not indicate a significant pickup in hiring, nor did they report any staff reductions. Businesses continued to employ technology and utilized overtime and contract labor as an alternative to increasing permanent staff. Contacts in manufacturing, construction, professional, and energy sectors report persistent difficulty in finding qualified workers. On balance, many firms expressed continued hesitancy caused by concerns about healthcare reform in terms of their overall hiring plans.
Cost pressures remained mostly stable, according to business contacts. Healthcare was the most cited exception, with reports of larger cost and price increases than usual. Merit increases remained in the 1 to 3 percent range. However, skilled and professional positions in energy, construction, information technology, and logistics continued to see above-average wage increases and higher starting pay. Year-ahead unit costs expectations were 1.9 percent in December, unchanged for the fourth consecutive month, according to the Atlanta Fed's survey on business inflation expectations.
Natural Resources and Agriculture.
Capacity utilization in the energy industry remained near historic highs, according to contacts. Deep water oil exploration in the Gulf of Mexico picked up, bolstered by the completion of recent pipeline infrastructure projects. Contacts noted that costs to transport domestic crude oil to refineries along the Gulf Coast via land or barge continued to rise. However, the outlook for demand, pricing, and productivity for the industry was optimistic on the whole for the coming year.
Recent rains improved soil conditions in some areas of the District, while parts of Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida experienced dry conditions. Monthly prices paid to farmers for rice and soybeans were up; prices for beef and broilers remained unchanged; and prices for corn, cotton, and hogs were down. The most recent domestic crop production projections for soybeans, corn, and rice were unchanged. Cotton and orange projections were down, although cotton was only down slightly. Similarly, projections for domestic beef and pork production rose, while broiler production remained unchanged.

cutting into a brick wall to install a window..
So I've cut the tiles away in a central position in the downstairs kitchen.. There is an existing cavity wall behind the tile leading to the external brick wall.. The space for the window is directly through the double internal course of bricks supporting the main barer..!! As long as I put a lintel in can i get away with cutting the support course of bricks as well..??
A picture from the inside and outside would help----Usually--yes---although cutting tends to be ugly--toothing in uncut bricks it the exposed edges is the proper way if the edges are exposed--
I'm not a mason--But I've had the work done several times and watched---

Americans are increasingly turning to online and radio sources for news and information, and are spending less time with daily newspapers and TV, according to (pdf) a media use and credibility survey commissioned by ARAnet and conducted by Opinion Research Corporation.
Daily newspaper usage dropped 4.1% and TV usage dropped 3.6%, while radio usage increased 2.9% and online usage increased 1.9%, the study found.
Credibility ratings for nearly all types of media except TV rose slightly from a year ago. TV is, however, still deemed to be most credible.
The national study of US adults, now in its second year, measured the percentage of news and information Americans receive from various media sources each month. Consumers reported getting 31% of their news and information from TV, and 19.4% from both radio and daily newspapers.
The media-use rankings from the survey, compared with last year's results:
Educated, Affluent & Hispanic Demos Flock Online
The survey also measured media use among specific demographic groups and, according to ARAnet, revealed a trend toward� increased use of online sources for news and information among the college educated, Hispanics and those making more than $100K per year, compared with the general population.
Not surprisingly, the research also found that the younger the respondent, the more reliant that person was on online sources.
Key demographic differences:
"The data showing an increase in online use and drop in daily newspaper consumption echoes what we're hearing from consumers and media partners," said Scott Severson, president of ARAnet. "Consumers want more of their information online."
TV Drops Slightly, Still Most Credible
The was designed to gauge which media sources Americans view as the most credible sources of news and information. With the exception of TV, which dropped a tenth of a rating point, all media types stayed steady or increased slightly in credibility from a year ago.
The survey asked respondents to assign credibility scores to seven types of media, ranging from one for "not at all credible" to 10 for "extremely credible. Credibility scores:
Other survey findings:
About the survey:� The survey was conducted with 1,000 US adults, ages 18+. It was conducted by phone September 10-13, 2009.
Topics: Analytics & Automated, Hispanic, Household Income, Magazines, Media & Entertainment, Newspapers, Online, Radio, Television, Youth & Gen X

Protesters gathered near the Israeli embassy in London today condemned the British Government's stance on the conflict in Gaza.
With placards, flags and chants, the activists branded Israel a "terror state" and showed their solidarity with the people of the Palestinian enclave.
Speakers took to a podium to condemn the Government after Foreign Secretary William Hague said the Hamas regime in Gaza bore "principal responsibility" for the escalation of violence.
Organisers claimed that "thousands" of protesters had joined the rally.
There was a major police presence in London's Kensington area, with barriers and a gate blocking the road leading to the embassy.

Zanazziite is a complex hydrated phosphate mineral from the roscherite group. It is a magnesium beryllium phosphate mineral.[3] Zanazziite arises as barrel-shaped crystals and can reach up to 4 mm. It grows alongside quartz minerals.[4] It is found in the crevices of Lavra da Ilha pegmatite, near Taquaral, in northeastern Minas Gerais, Brazil.[4] Zanazziite is named after Pier F. Zanazzi. Zanazziite has an ideal chemical formula of Ca2Mg5Be4(PO4)6(OH)4·6H2O.[4]
Zanazzite was recently analyzed with an ARL-SEMQ microprobe; the values were Durango apatite for P, Rockport fayalite for Mn, and Kakanui hornblende for all others.[4] In a separate sample, Beryllium was 84.93 mg by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. To determine water an H analyzer was used on duplicate samples of about 25 mg. FeO was determined by titration. The spectroscopic analysis and other microprobes revealed P2O5, 39.27, Si02 0.36, Al2O3 1.54, Fe203 0.76, CaO 10.65, MgO 11.66, FeO 9.63, MnO 1.77, BeO 9.81, H20 13.32, total of 98.77.[4][5] Zanazziite belongs to the roscherite-group. The roscherite-group nomenclature is based on the dominant cation in the Me-site; valid species include: Roscherite (Mn2+), Zanazziite (Mg2+) and Greifensteinite (Fe2+).[4] The chemical relationship among all of the minerals in the roscherite group rely on a common formula (roscherite) Ca2Mn5Be4(PO4)6(OH)4·6H2O, in which the Mn site can be occupied by other cations previously mentioned.[6]
Zanazzite belongs to the monoclinic space group C2/c. X-ray diffraction showed the strongest lines in Å, with intensities and indices: 9.50 (90) (110), 5.91 (100) (020), 3.16 (70) (330), 3.05 (50) (510), 2.766 (50) (240), 2.682 (40b) (600), 2.208 (40), 1.642 (50b).[4] X-ray diffraction analyzed cations sharing on octahedral sites. Uncertainty in analyzing zanazziites distribution of cations on M1 and M2 sites.[4] The M2 site in zanazziite is indistinct; it contains two Me-O bond distances, and two Me-OH bond distances.[5] The crystal structure and monoclinic symmetry of the cell data edge lengths: a=15.876A, b=11.860A, c=6.607A, and angle: beta=95.49 degrees. The axial ratio of zanazziite is a=1.3391 b=1 and c=0.5571.[6][7] The biaxial orientation of the extinction angles: X=b; Z^a=3 degrees, angles: alpha=1.606 beta=1.610 gema=1.620, optical axis angle: 2V which was measured = 72 degrees and 2V which was calculated = 65 degrees.[4][6] In X-ray scattering and diffraction models the data presents an approximation of the number of electrons in each atomic site, giving 17.3 e- in the M2 site and 64.8 e- in the M1 site.[4][6][7]
The crystals in Zanazziite are prismatic to bladed, usually rough, barrel-shaped, with indices {100}, {11O} and {001}. Cleavages are on {100} good, and {01O} distinct.[4]
Physical properties[edit]
Zanazziite is usually pale green and occasionally dark green. It is a 5 on the Mohs hardness scale.[5] Optically biaxial +, ex = 1.606, 13 =1.610, "y = 1.620, 2V, = 72°(65° calc) X = b, Z:[100] 3° in obtuse 13; and the density = 2.76 measured, 2.77 calculated. Zanazziite has a vitreous luster, slightly pearly on the cleavage surfaces. Its cleavage is {100} good, {01O} distinct. Zanazziite is nonfluorescent in longwave or shortwave ultraviolet light.[4] Zanazziite also shares many physical properties with roscherite.
Geologic occurrence[edit]
The roscherite analog zanazziite was found in Lavar da Ilha deposits in Minas Gerais, Brazil.[8] Zanazziite grows usually along the surface of quartz minerals. It occurs in pegmatite in beds of the Jequitinhonha river valley.[4] The pegmatite consists of a wall zone rich in feldspar and muscovite, and a quartz core.[4][5] The core margin has small pockets and crevices which contain quartz crystals and a number of phosphate minerals (on which the roscherite minerals accumulate).[4] This is special to quartz and phosphate due to the rich locality of Minas Gerais. Minas Gerais contains the world's most diverse concentration of complex granitic pegmatites. This region is responsible for the production of gem beryl, chrysoberyl, topaz, tourmaline, and kunzite.[3][9]

In light of the ever-growing, disturbing revelations about the NSA's mass surveillance program, it's good to know how the web services we're using protect our information. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has surveyed and analyzed several major service providers--from Amazon to Yahoo!--to see if them have implemented strong encryption.
The good news is, many of them have adopted encryption standards that make backdoor surveillance more challenging for the government, protecting user data from being seized without a warrant. Four companies--Dropbox, Google, Sonic.net, and SpiderOak--implement all five encryption measures.
These include: encryption of data center links, HTTPS encryption, use of HTTPS Strict, forward secrecy, and STARTTLS. Respectively, these measures: encrypt user data when it's sent between cloud servers and data centers, encrypt the communication between the user's computer and the website, insist on a persistent encryption, protect encryption keys, and encrypt communications between email servers. You'll want to head over to the EFF's web report for more details and notes about the study.
Here's the full chart:

Not sure where the issue lies, but I am not getting a lock with the receiver. I have the GPS on com 6 and xport sees it and passes it to COM 7 and 8. RR uses COM 7 and iG uses 8. Xport says low signal in the bottom toolbar. So it seems to me that the GPS is functioning but not getting a lock. I have the GPS unit under my passenger seat on my motorcycle. so there is a 1/8 in plastic piece and 2" of foam padding between the gps and the sky. Does it REALLY need to have a clear view of the sky? or is there something fundamental I am missing?

Ok, I will try to find a secure place to put it on the way home.
it's best to have it with a direct view of the sky, but doesn't necessarily need it.
I've got my BU353 tucked up in the corner of my roof near the A pillar. I can get anywhere from 3-11 satellites depending on where I am in the city.
Another check is to not run xport and set iG to use port 6, along with the correct baud. In xport, have you tried the 'find gps' button?03 Hyundai Elantra GT {Worklog}

The issue isnt' that the receiver "doesn't like being attached to the computer case or power supply"... It's that under your seat...under you, there isn't enough signal for the receiver to lock onto. GPS signals are usually between -150 and -160dbw at the earths surface. Cover that receiver or add body-coupling in and there's basically no chance for it to "hear" the signals above the noise floor. (Think "iphone death grip")
It'll probably be a little difficult on a bike to get a good, safe placement that doesn't look out of place but it should be possible, like you said, with some creativity. I believe the BU353's are weatherproof, so that helps, just remember that the USB cable probably can't take very much heat or repetitive movement.
Good luck. Let us know what you come up with.

bindings and boots problem.
I just bought my first snowboard, and tryed to do all the research I could to buy the correct stuff. I bought the hurrithane k2 bindings large 8-11 amd the 2117 10.5 boots, not thinking there would be a problem. After assembly, the back of the boots need to be jammed in a little and when taking them off they are stuck in the binding a need a little effort to be pulled out. Is this normal or should I get bigger bindings or does this brand of shoe run larger and I should buy a different brand? Or will the bindings give some making it easier down the road?

If people feel that they must hurt or harm a person, what do the people do to keep from feeling guilty about hurting that person?
Why shouldn't they feel guilty about hurting or harming another person?
The question is what do they do not to feel guilty? They should feel guilty, but some people don't. Is there a logical answer to this question? Thanks!
Ohh -- now I understand your question.
People who intentionally hurt another person probably rationalize by saying, "s/he deserved it." Or maybe they rationalize that they're teaching the other person a lesson.
Our society harms millions of people by imprisoning them for crimes. We say that they deserve to be punished or that we're teaching the criminals a lesson.
So to keep from feeling guilty they use a scapegoat or excuse?
I wouldn't say it was a scapegoat, although in some instances it may be.
How is the person who hits another person because "he deserved it" different than society punishing a criminal because "he deserved it?"
Ah well first of all the person who goes to prison is found guilty of a crime. The hitting someone occurence could happen for any stupid reason. Your thoughts? How can I logically answer this question?
If people feel that they must hurt or harm a person, what do the people do to keep from feeling guilty about hurting that person?
To repeat, many people who hurt another person don't feel guilty because they rationalize that they had the "right" to hurt the other because "he deserved it." In the abuser's eyes, he's found the other person guilty and has "taught him a lesson."
Thanks for your insight to this question!
You're very welcome. It's an intriguing question. Please check back here tomorrow as another tutor may want to add his/her two cents.
Also you might have sociopaths, who have trouble empathizing with others and only care about getting their needs and desires met as quickly as possible, the consequences be damned.
I hope t his helps a little more. Thanks for asking.

I don't see any reason the maker of the pack would care what happened, unless he was the one who set up the painting deal. Otherwise it's not really his problem once the pack arrived in your hands.
I've also jabbed him a few times to no avail.

Id like to know did you hook up the painter or was it a "deal" like some vendors do with painters,
coz if it was like; you can get a JP from me and my mate will paint it , then the mate bails then the duty falls on the next down the line.
Its not like they are cheap a little discount on the second one wouldnt hurt at least drop of labour costs
How ever if the painter was totally sourced by you , then it is fair that the maker of said JP doesnt really ow any thing
tho it would be in good faith for them to drop a few $
He was offering his services in the for sale section and so was the maker of the jetpack, so I contacted each one separately and thought all 3 of us came to an agreement.
Anyway, there's nothing left I can do, so I posted about this in the 501st Facebook page. I hate to "lower" myself to have to do this, but I hate being scammed
That really sucks mate, i feel for you
And as far as "lowering" your self , it does seem that youve done that at all , any in the same sitch wouyld do that and more,
This guy really needs to make amenz in your case,
it really is not fair no one deservse to have things stolen from them and in all efect that is what has happend to you
Wow, finally got a response and supposedly, he'll be sending it out today or tomm, he said. *fingers crossed*
thats cool, lets hope this works out.
I hope it all works out!
Best of luck!
aye good news indeed
well, I just got an apology and a tracking # from him, so I'm hoping the jetpack is everything I hoped it would be. It's a really nice surprise considering today's my bday too
Happy Birthday. Like I've said many, many times...I wish I could have been more of a help. I have no idea why he stopped keeping in communication about these paint jobs but I'm glad to see its finally over. Like Brian, I've called and texted him many times telling him to get this done. Hopefully you'll be satisfied with the results and everyone can just move on. Keep us posted!
He's a really good painter, so I see no reason why it wouldn't look great.
Hey, I'm glad it all worked out. I was texting him as well trying to get him to send your stuff out. I'm sorry things worked out the way they did, but I knew you would eventually get your stuff back. He isn't the type of guy to steal stuff. As for the paint job, it should be great, as he painted my Clone Trooper and I've seen his other work, and it all came out great. Put up some pictures when it comes in!
Well, after a long road of emotions, I finally got it in. I guess the bright side is that it was worth the wait. Everything else is water under the bridge and I'm not the person to hold grudges so that's that. I'm just glad this thread not only helped me, but other people to get their stuff from him as well, and I just wanna thank everybody for all their help and support all this time in contacting him for me, even when they didn't have to. This thread and Jokerfish's show that there really are still a lot of good people out there and I'm glad to be a part of this community. Enough rambling and here's some pics
this thing really is a work of art, from both Mark's painting skills, to MOW's molding
woo! it's awesome seeing a happy ending to all of this!
Great news........I didn't think this outcome was possible several months back.
I am very happy for ya.
I knew Mark would eventually come through for you....he's not a thief. I just wish I could have gotten him to move faster and to actually communicate with everyone. Glad to see the happy ending for everyone.
Itd wanna be
Glad to hear you got the jetpack.
thanks guys. Hard to believe that the jetpack was the third thing I bought and now, all I need are gauntlets to finally finish this thing after 18 long months.

Anmeldelser af denne bolig
We have had a nice time with Franck's family, they were very helpful and interested to listen to us. They gave us lots of advice on where to go, eat and tank our car etc.
The accommodation is very spacious and comfortable. Clean and cleaned everyday. We were offered numerous times coffee or tea or dining with them.
The location is very close proximity to the highway, train station and shopping complex.
Friendly people with professional service !!
Franck and his wife Sandrine were very friendly. They help us in all the problems we had and try to do our stay in Paris more comfortable.
I recommend to stay in their cosy house which is full equipped and in a lovely and peaceful area. If we go to Paris again we will repeat without any doubt.
We had a wonderful time with Frank and his Family. The House is close to Disney and a Factory Outlet. If you go to Paris City, then use the Train which is also close by. Frank gave us a few Tips, where to eat and what to Visit. To bad it rained most of the time, so we could not enjoy is nice Garden. Hopefully we can get back another Time.
Bei Franck zu Hause fühlten wir uns gleich sehr willkommen. Wir haben zusammen Abend gegessen und uns dabei über den Tag unterhalten.
Franck hat uns sehr geholfen und Tipps gegeben zb. bei den Verbindungen mit dem Bus, Zug usw. Also wo welche Haltestelle ist und wie man am besten wo hinkommt.
Er ist einfach ein hilfsbereiter, offener und toller Mensch. Er hilft wo er kann.
Sein Haus ist sehr sauber, man fühlt sich total wohl.
Unser Zimmer und unser Bad waren super. Betten haben frisch gerochen, alles sauber.
Die Umgebung dort ist sehr ruhig. Man kann gut schlafen.
Schade konnten wir seine Familie nicht kennenlernen, sie waren selbst verreist.
Es war ein sehr unkomplizierter, netter Aufenthalt und das obwohl wir das Zimmer nur wenige Tage vor Anreise gebucht haben.
Frank was an amazing host.. Windu is lucky to have people like him hosting.
I think we made a lifelong friendship with franks family and would recommend him anytime to future travellers to Paris and Disney
Frank und seine Familie war sehr Herzlich.
Es war SEHR sauber und angenehm, Frank hat uns auch ein paar sehr gute Adressen aufgeschrieben. Würden jeder Zeit wieder bei dieser Familie Buchen
A 10 min en voiture du centrex où mon fils passait un concours, le logement est idéal pour arriver en forme pour les épreuves.Franck et Sandrine sont sympathiques et prêts à rendre services à leurs hôtes, les enfants sont mignons et les animaux attachants.Tout a été fait pour rendre notre séjour agréable.
We spent a few days with Franck and his family (6 of us), and certainly spent the most magic, human and restful stay we've ever had (and we are very active travellers).
We red the comment of the previous guest (jane) before arriving, and were very concerned about our time there.
I can now say that either this person has not stayed at the same place and with the same people, or doesn't know how to read because everything is mentioned on the listing, or she's been making a very bad joke to Franck with her comment.
(Franck has not influenced me in writing this review).
We arrived late after a very long journey, and were warmly welcomed by our hosts with drinks.
The house is beautiful, large and decorated with taste.
The 2 bedrooms we had were just amazingly comfortable, and well equipped.
Franck and her wife even left us some space in the wardrobe and bathroom cupboard to store our clothes and items.
The comfort and equipment are worth a five star hotel!!!
Franck is actually working in the hospitality industry as a senior executive manager, and you can feel that he's doing it with pleasure and passion.
We had very restful nights.
In the morning they prepared us a very tasty French Breakfast, with fresh croissants and pains au chocolat, crunchy baguette, homemade jam, etc…
We then met their 2 young children who played with ours.
Regarding the dog and cat, our children just loved playing with them.
They are extremely child friendly!!
Franck and his Wife gave us useful advice in terms of visits (Paris, DisneyLand, Shopping, etc...).
They also offered us to come with us to DisneyLand to help us at the entrance and to avoid paying the car park (because they have unlimited pass!!!!).
This was extremely kind of them.
We had a key of the house and the alarm code, to come back whenever we wanted.
We decided to have dinner at home, and were never charged any extra for it.
Franck and his Wife only want to make sure the kitchen is spotless after use.
Of course, food and drinks are not allowed in the bedrooms.
The entire house is extremely clean and I can easily understand it.
Who wouldn't???.... Jane, maybe….
During our stay, we even shared a wonderful dinner with our host and had a great time in their garden around a barbecue, wine, candles, and board games…
We needed to wash our clothes, and we asked Franck to use the washing machine.
He asks 7 euros for it, but you would never find someone who looks after your clothes so well (washing, hanging up, and folding it).
I wanted to give him more, but he refused.
We were so sad to leave them after this great time.
We arrived and met hearty hosts.
When we went back home, we left genuine Friends.
As you can imagine, we recommend them with no hesitation.
Franck and his Family are the most welcoming persons you could stay with.
Great location for a visit to Paris City Center, DisneyLand and the area.
My children, my parents and my husband and I were going to Paris to watch my brother in law run the marathon, and as a special treat we wanted to take the children to Disneyland Paris. We were looking for self catering accommodation and when we saw Franck's property we thought it looked perfect for our needs. My children are 7 and 4 so sharing a room altogether is fine. My parents are very easy going and staying with a French family seemed a good idea.
The description showed and listed a beautiful house with all the amenities that you'd need, kitchen, washing machine, garden, lovely living area.
What it didn't list was the cat and dog. My son has allergies to cats, so we would never have chosen to stay here if we'd known. However, once we were there, there was little we could do. The cat actually bit my husband when he tried to get it out of the bedroom!
Franck also never mentioned that he had a family. In his photo it is just him, in reality, he has a wife and son of 5 and 22month old daughter. I am not sure how many people have ever stayed with him, as the daughter cried for the first 2 nights, from 230am until 5am, and when I said this was a problem he told me it was because people were going to the toilet at night and waking her. Having 2 children myself I don't believe a word of this, and also this made all of my family even more uncomfortable.
The master bedroom was great, the bed huge and the 2 put-up beds adequate. There was also a large bathroom. All the wardrobes and cupboards were locked shut so there was nowhere to put anything, but other than that it was OK. My parents were in the 5 year old boys room. This was a childs single bed with a pull out mattress to make it into a double bed. It was uncomfortable and again there was nowhere to put anything. They also had to share the bathroom with use, therefore walk across the landing and through our bedroom to get to the bathroom. This wasn't mentioned on the description. It states there are 2 bathrooms.
We had no issues booking with Franck and he even sent some helpful information, so we were really looking forward to our stay, and obviously I had paid in October when we booked. When I conformed we could use the washing machine, I was now told that there was a 7 euro charge per load, and if I wanted to use the kitchen there was a 15 euro charge. This was disappointing as we thought that the facilities listed would be included in the price. Also upon arrival, we were not given a key, so we were not able to come and go as we pleased, we had to give check in and out times daily. Again, not what we wanted.
After the 2nd night, the little girl slept better, but the family were all up by 7am as they had work and school commitments and the house is not soundproof, so this was not a very restful break as we were all woken early every morning. In fact we were delighted that we had only booked for 5 nights, and were counting down the days until we could come home.
As far as being welcomed into the family home, we weren't. In the 5 days we were there, I never sat on the sofa, and neither did any of the adults in the group. In the evenings, Franck and his wife laid on the sofa and we sat at the dining table - not having drinks, as the kettle and cooker were locked shut so we could not use them. We were able to bring wine in, but that was only permissible to drink at the table or outside. If you did take food or drink outside, then you had the dog begging or chasing you for some of it. Again, not really relaxing or ideal.
Franck speaks excellent English, so can help with planning trips, but I think that when you book accommodation it is fundamental to have a good night sleep and wake up when you want to. Make tea and coffee as you please and be able to wash your children's clothes. I often have students rent my room and they always are given a key and told how to use the facilities. They are also always welcome to sit with us in the evening.
As we are polite British people, it seemed churlish to complain to Franck whist we were there. I made my feelings clear about the lack of sleep and as aforementioned, he blamed my family. At this point, I wrote an email to Wimdu. That was on the Saturday of our stay. They finally replied on Thursday when we were already home saying that we should have let them know within 24 hours of arrival, and there was nothing they could do now.
I feel terribly disappointed, and therefore will never use Wimdu again, and I would suggest that if you are going to Paris - only stay here if you just want a room and will be up early, not use the toilet in the night, and eat out. That way it will be perfect for you. Don't take your family as there isn't enough room in this house for 2 families.

Pregnant Natalie Portman's Dog Day Afternoon
Posted Thursday January 6, 2011 6:16 PM GMT
Not letting her pregnancy slow her down, Natalie Portman escorted her pooch pal out for a hiking excursion in Griffith Park on Thursday (January 6).
Following the refreshing outdoor activity, the lovely actress and an accompanying gal pal headed over to Square One Restaurant for a bite to eat while perched at a patio table.
The outing comes after Miss Portman spent the previous evening attending the 2011 People's Choice Awards at the Nokia Theatre.
During the festivities, Natalie joined "No Strings Attached" co-star Ashton Kutcher in presenting the night's final award of Best Movie to the stars of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse".

PACMAN: THE MOVIE TRAILER from Therefore Productions on Vimeo.
Pharmaceutical CEO Michael Pacman is forced to take his own dangerous medications in order to survive a maze designed by a sadistic patient out for revenge.
This 2-minute trailer satirizes and skewers Hollywood's love for taking video games with barely any plot (e.g. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, etc.) and turning them into abominably bad feature films. In this trailer, Pacman is given the "Saw" treatment — enter a dark and disturbing world filled with pellets, ghosts, and yes, Pacman.

Just look around you. Everything, starting from the keyboard and the screen on your PC (or your I-Phone) to as far as your eye can see. Everything you see that did not grow by the grace of God or Mother Nature was designed and made with tools designed and made from materials mined, transformed, manufactured, even transported to were it was manufactured and is being used, by *men*.
It's a good thing that amongst all of those things we built and that everyone uses, there are also so many other things that uplift the mind, such as the art that a few men managed to create.
Much of that is not being noticed because it is being taken for granted. Moreover, it has been belittled through a massive, long-standing, feminist propaganda war against men.
Nevertheless, we have much to be grateful for. Not the least is the simple fact that we can exchange our ideas on all of that through modern methods of communication (invented, designed and manufactured by men) that had their humble beginnings in writing on materials such as clay tablets and paper (all invented by men), progressed from there to printing (invented by men) and then to printing with movable type (invented by Johannes Gutenberg), after which the evolution and spread of communication evolved at an ever faster rate.
Yes, we must give thanks to women who chose to be mothers for playing an important and essential role in giving all of us life, but it is also fitting that men deserve great thanks for inventing, making and producing those things (including the food we eat) that make it possible for all of us to enjoy our existence.
"If civilization had been left in female hands, we would still be living in grass huts." – Camille Paglia (in Sexual Personae)
