The salary gap between male and female IT professionals appears to be widening, according to the results of InformationWeek Research's 2002 National IT Salary Survey. In terms of total compensation, men are making about $7,000 more than women annually, whereas last year they made $6,000 more. Female IT managers earn $10,000 less median total cash compensation than their male counterparts. Meanwhile, staff-level women received a $1,000 median base salary raise, compared to a $2,000 increase for staff-level men. ClearCommerce co-founder Julie Fergerson theorizes that men are more prone to job-hopping than women, whereas "Women tend to stay in the same job for three to five years, due in part to ownership and pride in the work." Women in Technology International President and founder Carolyn Leighton adds that men dominating the executive level only increases the difficulty for women to move up.
Nanotechnology--the manipulation of nanoscale structures and their properties--has received a great deal of hype from advocates such as scientists, futurists, and entrepreneurs, but venture capitalists are reluctant to invest because the development of commercial applications is still a long way off. Investors want a fairly rapid return on investment, but there are not many nanotech startups that can fulfill that promise yet, according to NanoBusiness Alliance executive director Mark Modzelewski; nevertheless, his company reports that direct venture investment is rising, and predicts that startup funding should climb to $1 billion this year and $1.2 billion next year. Still, Modzelewski says the nanotech businesses expected to generate the most returns are still in an early stage of development. The products and methods they are working on include the etching of chips that offer twice the computing speed while halving the cost, nanoscale drug-delivery systems and disease-fighting "nanobots," and minuscule optical elements for telecom equipment. The establishment of the National Nanotechnology Initiative in 1999 has spurred investment, at least in the federal sector: Congress has earmarked $604.4 million for this fiscal year, and President Bush has requested a nanoscale science investment of $710 million for fiscal year 2003. Nanotech firms that have received a lot of venture capital are developing either nanotech simulation software or the instruments used for atomic manipulation.
ElcomSoft CEO Alexander Katalov is struggling to rehabilitate his company's public image while fighting the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the controversial law that U.S. prosecutors claim ElcomSoft broke by offering software that bypasses anti-copying Adobe System safeguards for electronic books. The case is the first major test of the law's criminal provisions, and prosecutors have been portraying ElcomSoft as an opportunistic firm that aims to make money by helping e-book hackers, a charge that Katalov vehemently denies. He counters that the software was created so that people could copy e-books strictly in keeping with fair-use rights. ElcomSoft's password recovery products have also been used extensively in law enforcement, including a case in which a murder suspect was apprehended by the Fort Bend County, Texas, Sheriff's Department; ElcomSoft earned an "honorary sheriff's deputy" certificate for its contribution. Katalov warns that his situation could be a foretaste for developers, even if they create software purely for the purposes of testing security systems. The DMCA makes it "illegal to produce legal programs," he alleges. Two motions to drop the charges against ElcomSoft are currently pending, but if the trial goes ahead and ElcomSoft loses, it may have to pay of fine of $2.5 million. Katalov says the company has already spent a great deal of money to defend itself, and has been beset by difficulties since the charges were filed, including a loss of American corporate clients and a flattening of revenue.
In an effort to clamp down on identity fraud and bolster national security, Reps. Jim Moran (D-Va.) and Tom Davis (R-Va.) are touting legislation calling for the standardization of state-issued driver's licenses equipped with computer chips and biometric identifiers. The proposal would also require that standards be set for documents that states can use to better determine the identity of driver's license or other ID card applicants. Additionally, $315 million in federal funding would be allocated to facilitate the switchover to the new cards as well as connect them to state computer systems so that background checks on applicants can be made to determine whether they were denied licenses in other states. The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) supports a standardized license proposal of its own that shares many similarities to Davis and Moran's bill, although the latter also mandates that the licenses perform as dual-use cards. Davis and Moran's bill additionally requires that the licenses' embedded chips be interoperable with software for other applications, including those in the private sector. Electronic Frontier Foundation staff attorney Lee Tien says that this would primarily benefit businesses that track and profile consumers for marketing purposes. Ari Schwartz of the Center for Democracy and Technology says the information contained on such cards would make them an irresistible target for data thieves and other criminals.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) recently published a paper detailing a scientific group's progress in developing gallium nitride-based transistors that could significantly bolster wireless broadband systems. Cornell University professor and report author Lester F. Eastman says that wireless base stations using the new transistors could have as much as 50 times more computing power than silicon- or gallium arsenide-based transistors at their disposal. The devices can operate with more space between them, and fewer transistors would be required; they also run at a cooler temperature, which could allow base stations to become so compact that they could be positioned on telephone poles. The researchers say the transistors can simultaneously accommodate high-power and high-frequency transmissions, an important consideration for wireless broadband. Silicon amplifiers boast a 10 percent efficiency rate, whereas gallium nitride technology could offer as much as 30 percent efficiency. Eastman says the transistors could become commercially available soon, with funding help from both the private sector and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. He says potential uses for the technology include radar systems, satellite communications, electronic transceivers, and power switching for motors in hybrid-electric vehicles.
Sens. John Breaux (D-La.) and Don Nickles (R-Okla.) today introduced a bill that calls for the FCC to choose and apply the same regulatory standards to all broadband services, thus relaxing the regulation of high-speed digital subscriber line (DSL) access. Breaux says this legislation would "level the playing field in the broadband market" and promote the implementation of broadband networks throughout the country. If the bill is approved, the FCC will have 120 days to institute regulatory changes, although FCC Chairman Michael Powell said that he would probably ask for an extension. The FCC is debating whether to regulate DSL services the same way it regulates telephone services, or keep it a separate entity subject to less stringent standards. Telecom providers and consumer organizations warn that choosing the latter scheme would fortify local phone giants' domination of the telecom services sector. Mark Uncapher of the Information Technology Association of America said Breaux and Nickles' proposal would give the FCC the power to amend congressionally approved competition rules, an authority that it currently lacks.
Zip compression programs can help categorize sets of digitized information, as an Italian team of scientists recently demonstrated using literary texts. Writing in Physical Review Letters, the team said that zip programs codify data according to unique patterns, which can be analyzed against the patterns of other "zipped" data to find similarities, such as the same author's style present in two different texts. The Italians used the same zip program to compress several different texts and were able to accurately judge which ones were authored by whom more than 90 percent of the time. Additionally, when analyzing the zipped file of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which has been translated into many different languages, the scientists were able to gauge the linguistic distance between the languages. The mapped result of those distances is very similar to language trees drawn up by language experts. Texts were used in the research to illustrate the categorization capabilities of zip programs, but the scientists said the same principle could apply to any set of data, including genetic, earthquake, and protein information.

More efficient ways of parsing Internet bandwidth are needed before new services are economically workable, according to speakers at the 50th anniversary meeting of the International Conference on Communications (ICC). Telcordia Technologies chief scientist Will Leland said that delivering data reliably is the basis of future broadband services, and that a client-based program that makes applications aware of the user's bandwidth needs and able to request more is important. There currently are no adequate protocol layers that can do this, Leland said. He also said the type of Internet-based distributed computing that is needed by enterprises requires a high level of synchronization between node units, which in turn means more sophisticated Internet configurations. Currently, enterprise grid computing projects require extensive configuration and only work for a few hours. Avaya Labs President Ravi Sethi also spoke at the gathering, saying that Session Initiation Protocol was helping set up VoIP for enterprises. Finally, in an unusual turn for an ICC speech, Drexel University's Adam O'Donnell spoke about the need for better pricing models for differentiated services delivered over IP. Usually, ICC topics are relegated to scientific topics and do not deal with the financial details of communications technology.
This week will mark the 500 millionth result generated by the SETI@Home project, in which volunteers contribute the idle processing power of their computers to help analyze trillions of bytes of data gathered from radio telescopes searching for signs of extraterrestrial life. SETI@Home project scientist Eric Korpela estimates that about 700,000 results are produced every day, and adds that soon 1 million computer years of work will be reached as well. Participants can join the effort by going to the project's Web site and downloading a screensaver program that harnesses their machines to process information, but only when the machines are not in use. The number of volunteers who joined the project over the past year and the number who dropped out are roughly equal, according to Korpela. He says the SETI@Home project's recent efforts have focused on returned transmissions, screening them for radio frequency interference. Although the group has not identified any transmission as alien, a list of possible alien radio signals is posted on the Web site, which also notes the area in the sky where the signal came from.
The experimentation and invention that led to the Internet and to the Internet's commercial and cultural boom during the 1990s also led to the creation of a libertarian Internet governance structure in ICANN. ICANN has been established to govern the Internet with officers pulled from the technological community, the business community, and even from direct elections by voters with email addresses, but the group has become embroiled in turmoil lately after ICANN President Stuart Lynn proposed scrapping direct elections and disparaged ICANN's current structure as costly and inefficient. Issues of Internet governance are paramount considering the Internet's current penetration into all forms of society, culture, and commerce. In addition, recent concerns about terrorism and international poverty have elevated issues of security and international access into the dialogue of Internet issues. ICANN needs to narrow its focus while guaranteeing fairness by incorporating a wide range of interests into its decision-making structure, including representatives from the private sector, non-commercial groups, and especially non-governmental organizations, writes Markle Foundation Presdient Zoe Baird.
Co-founded by Segway Human Transporter inventor Dean Kamen, the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics National Competition aims to give high school students a chance to meet real-world challenges and a taste of the more fun aspects of science and engineering. The contest pits teams of students against one another to design and build a robot that can perform a specific task. The robots then compete in a sporting event, the winner being the machine that demonstrates the best and speediest performance. This year's competition involved robots programmed to scoop up soccer balls, deposit them into goal baskets, and wheel the goals down a playing field. FIRST teams have six weeks to construct their robots, and are partnered with professional engineers to help them. The winners of the 10th annual FIRST competition were announced on Saturday, with the Chairman's Award going to the Buzz Robotic Team from Enrico Fermi High School in Windsor Locks, Conn. At a recent FIRST event in New York City, Kamen announced that he wants to make FIRST competitions available to high school students everywhere.
Advances in grid computing primarily come from the efforts of publicly funded research groups because of the enormous amount of distributed computing needed for modern scientific research, the general consensus that public-sector scientists are more trustworthy than private entities in setting up standards needed to effect communications between computer systems, and the fact that academia is bursting with researchers who have both the time and the imagination to conceive and execute their ideas. However, top computer firms worldwide are getting deeply involved with public-sector scientific projects such as grid computing, which are considered to be an ideal platform for testing future commercial applications. Fourteen federally funded grid projects are underway in the United States, while the European Union and the United Kingdom are funding seven and eight projects, respectively. The U.S. TeraGrid, which will feature 13 teraflops of computing power and 450 terabytes of storage capacity, represents the largest single grid project and the biggest computing infrastructure implemented for research. The project will support research in cosmology, molecular computing, and meteorology when it goes live in 2003. Some private companies, including Intel, have created their own grids; Intel uses its grid for in-house projects, such as streamlining chip design. Security issues will need to be worked out before grid computing can migrate to the mainstream, according to Intel's Tim Mattson. 'There has to be just one global grid, just as there is one Internet," he says.
IT industry analysts say that once businesses resume buying new IT in about a year's time, Web services and wireless technologies will be at the top of CIOs' to-do lists. Forrester lead analyst Ted Schadler says that recent Forrester studies show declines in all areas of IT spending but integration and storage, and that companies will start buying again in 2003. Both Schadler and International Data (IDC) chief researcher John Gantz agree that Web services implementation will influence IT strategy, with Gantz giving the technology a five-year horizon until full implementation. He compares Web services uptake to how companies and programmers responded to Java, with time needed to learn the necessary skills and determine the technology's usefulness. The development of other technologies such as wireless LANs and more capable handheld computers will dovetail with Web services implementation, especially as the prices and performance of wireless networks improve. IDC analyst Alan Carey believes security will continue to be a major concern for all businesses, but will shift from the perimeter and network to the application level. He predicts there will be no rest as companies constantly need to be alert for security threats, but that new programming strategies that focus on working out bugs early on in development will help.
One of the most profound social impacts the Internet will have is the creation of "network armies," which Richard Hunter, author of "World Without Secrets: Business, Crime and Privacy in the Age of Ubiquitous Computing," describes as geographically dispersed communities knit together by a common issue, even if their agendas are different. The Internet enables network armies to form faster and assume more power than traditional grass-roots movements, Hunter says, and cites the increasing power of networks as providing a boost to network armies. Hunter gives several examples of network armies, including the Linux Open Source movement and the Al Qaeda terrorist group. Although he forecasts that the Open Source movement will make life difficult for Microsoft, Hunter thinks that both parties could benefit if they find common ground and form a network army together. Hunter also argues that the rapid pace of technological change experienced in the late 1990s is still taking place, and that the effects of Moore's Law continue to impact a wide variety of technologies, including data mining, wireless broadband communications, embedded computers, and smart machines. Other technologies under development such as natural language processing and semantic analysis will take longer to reach their full impact.

The U.S. IT workforce has been hit hard by the dot-com bust, the economic downturn, and fallout from two years of corporate mergers. Information Technology Association of America President Harris Miller estimates that over 200,000 of the nation's 10.4 million IT professionals are unemployed; this represents the largest group of jobless computer specialists to date. Employers are now dictating the terms of hire, and have scaled back on operating costs by slashing jobs and eliminating perks and high salaries. Even weathered professionals such as 18-year veteran software engineer Mark Scoville are finding themselves passed up in favor of younger, entry-level graduates that work for less, although he believes they are being chosen for being "fresh, with quick minds" rather than for their youth. However, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission noted in February that age discrimination tops the list of complaints. Many jobless IT workers have limited skill sets, while still others are dot-com veterans and consultants and contractors. An influx of fresh computer science graduates next month will make competition even tougher. The employment peak that characterized the height of the dot-com boom is unlikely to be reached again even if the economy recovers, according to experts--for one thing, companies have put too much effort in scaling back costs and tightening resources.
In early March, Columbia University hosted a conference that brought together researchers, activists, and other interested parties to discuss the current direction of science and technology as well as how societal values can be introduced into science and technology policy. Issues under discussion included responsibility for monitoring and dispensing new technologies, and equal distribution. Inequality was just one of the topics covered by six panels at the event: Others included the reluctance scientists feel in questioning the moral and ethical ramifications of their research; how emerging technologies and their possibly negative impact on human nature and existence are undercutting the importance of governance by scientists and technologists; the development of "function creep;" and how self-replicating technologies could invalidate governance policies and procedures. Attendees from developing companies were particularly concerned that financial considerations have become central to research, while others remarked that governance regulations in the United States and elsewhere do not adequately promote and limit science and technology. However, increased government regulation was not seen as a solution. Carol Greider of the University of California, Berkeley, observed that research done for curiosity's sake has greater importance in scientific culture than the societal consequences of the research. Radford Byerly from the University of Colorado's Center for Science and Technology called for more social consciousness among scientists. Meanwhile, Ray Kurzweil spoke out against computer scientist Bill Joy's assumption that certain technologies are too dangerous to be developed, arguing that "The dangerous technologies are the same as the beneficial ones."

The Yankee Group estimates that $3.3 billion will be invested in collaboration technologies over the next four years, although collaboration by itself is nothing new. The failure of business-to-business (B2B) exchanges has fueled a need for a deeper form of collaboration. In the March 2001 Harvard Business Review, Harvard Business School professor Michael Porter urged B2B exchanges to move away from differentiation based on price and "instead focus on product selection, product design, service, image and other areas in which they can differentiate themselves." The automotive industry is often referred to as a model of collaboration: The Covisint exchange, for example, is deploying product life cycle management (PLM) applications that facilitate collaborative vehicle design and assembly, and AMR Research believes PLM could save car companies $250 in production costs per vehicle. However, Porter has warned that companies that put too much emphasis on partnering could suffer, should their partners become rivals. Exchanges and PLM tool providers such as eConnections and MatrixOne must prevent their collaborative applications from making partners too transparent to one another. With deeper collaboration, Digital 4Sight co-founder Don Tapscott foresees the vertically integrated corporate structure giving way to "business webs"--networks of companies, suppliers, and customers tightly woven into "extended supply chains." Unfortunately, the collaboration many companies currently boast is overhyped, and not yet as deep as they claim.
Recordable DVDs are being touted as far more preferable to hard disks for their ease and affordability, although hard disks still outshine them in storage capacity. Demand for recordable DVDs will stem from consumers' desire to store still and moving images, while PC users crave a portable medium to store backup and permanent archival copies of the data on their hard drives; consumers also do not have to contend with the hassle of upgrading or swapping hard drives to boost capacity with DVDs. Developers are working to create new generations of burnable DVDs that will keep pace with space demands and boast 20 GB of storage capacity per side in several years. Although efforts are underway to ratchet up the write speed of the "red" lasers that DVD players and recorders use, even more data storage can be produced through the use of smaller-wavelength blue/violet lasers, such as Blu-ray. In fact, Blu-ray has been embraced by nine consumer-electronics firms that plan to license the technology in a few months, but the lack of support from Toshiba and the possibility that the technology may conflict with certain principles of the DVD Forum could result in a protracted format war. Meanwhile, DVD storage upgrades could result from new media breakthroughs, such as Calimetrics' multilevel (ML) technology and Constellation 3D's fluorescent multilayer disc (FMD) technology. ML foregoes the practice of pitting DVDs in favor of marking them with light and dark patches, while FMD boosts capacity by increasing the number of layers per disc rather than the capacity per layer. Three-dimensional recording through holographic techniques is a long-term prospect that holds much promise.

In the spring of last year a flock of archaeologists from Flinders University headed down to Penola and started digging for history, trying to find clues to the early years of Australia's first patron Saint, Mary Mackillop.
Last time the team uncovered an 1839 coin, a thimble, a marble and some bottle fragments. A success, yes, but they of course wanted more.
Well the team is back in full force this year and Tim Brunero spoke to Team Leader, Associate Professor Heather Burke about what they hope to uncover this time.

SCCA CAN AM TRANS AM Series 1st Gen Camaros
Seeking information on SCCA - CAN AM TRANS AM Series 1st Gen Camaros
I have been restoring a 1968 Camaro (Project Garage) and I am at the point were I need to decide what I want the car to be. I was thinking that it would be neat to create a CAN AM Series Street Car. Or rather my impression of what chevy might have created had they built a production version. At this point I just dont feel that I want to become just another SS/RS, Coupe or Z28 etc in the sea of 1st generation camaros. I have looked this site over for information and have found some information online. I am looking for resource material pictures, specs, websites and any information helpful. In addition, I welcome Opinions about this idea.
Thanks for the help!
I have an idea...
try this site: www.chevytalk.com/
please get back to me if you find this site helpful...nobody ever gets back to me??? I don't mind sharing the info but it would be nice if someone actually got back to me ONE time....Sorry for the rant!
Rat Rods Rule!
Check the SCCA web sit for Vintage Road Racing Class info. There is an active vintage racing program. This class has a lot of 1st gen Camaros and mustangs. They should have quite a few 1st Gens in the raceing galleries and related link sites for actual teams. A race schedual for Texas Motor Speedway should also have info on the vintage race schedule and possible links that may help you.:thumbup:
Hemmings Muscle Machines just did an article on the trans am series, it's kind of general info but if you like, pm me and I'll mail it to you. Dan
Great idea
I like this one and one of these would make great street car..
Ok build a 301 engine..327 block with 283 crank and rods..Venolia pistons..Isky roller cam..probably a Edelbrock torker manifold and a four barrel..Go ahead with an Msd ignition..We certainly woudl have used some edelbrock heads if we had them at the time..we did use the 2.02 intakes heads..
Super t-10 tranny..12 bolt rear..
Finding the RPO MA6 clutch woudl be way cool..(The originals had a dual disk clutch) Little known option but it did exist..
Four wheel disk brakes..was another factory option..
Of course a SCCA approved roll cage..race belts..no back seat..really bare interior..Engine and road sounds are all the good sounds one needs in one of these..
Fuel cell..race type..
Lemme see what else can I remember from 40 years ago that was in these cars..
Ah lite fiberglass hood and fenders..even the trunk lid can be fiberglass..
Thsi would be close to what one of those trans am road course Camaros were in those days...
Oh another thing the rear locating arms were on top of the rear housing..pivoted on both ends and we had birdcages on the rear..
This is about what we did build in those days..of course it was always interesting to see if we could get all of this past tech..:D
All of the parts for this are available including the suspension components..
Pardon me if I digress a bit but I did own a Mustang with all the trans am Shelby parts in it back in those days..sure miss that car..:thumbup:
:spank: Sometimes get after myself for letting that car go..
Thanks for the memories..
if i were thinkin like that, i would say you should do a search of both hrm and phr mags, and look for that first gen that races and kills ferrari's and vettes at laguna sega. it also races the silver state challange. and i would do as close to that as i could.
found it for ya! go here, *****: http://popularhotrodding.com/features/0406phr_owen/

Further, as I have found out while testing upwards of 25 mobiles in the past few weeks, sometimes a mobile will work only to stop working. BMW engineers confirm that this is not unusual and that it is necessary to test a phone-car combination over multiple connection cycles.
All good points. I thought about adding the firmware levels but then I did not have the time or the energy
I tried to focus on results people posted with recent (most up to date firmwares?) and reasonable recent BMW BT systems (9/05 and later where i could). I just was not able to find a comprehensive list anywhere online and wanted to start one.
I open for suggestions to improve this as i mentioned above and i have a feeling you can add a lot to it
Let me know your thoughts.

Site: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Oosterbaan Field House)
Result: Michigan 12, Denison 8 (ex.)
Next U-M Event: Sunday, Feb. 12 -- vs. Detroit Mercy (Pontiac, Mich.), 1 p.m.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan men's lacrosse team defeated Denison, 12-8, in exhibition action on Saturday (Feb. 4) inside Oosterbaan Field House. Trailing 2-1 after the first quarter, U-M scored eight of the game's next 11 goals over the second and third periods to seize control.
Fifth-year senior attackman Trevor Yealy (Pittsburgh, Pa./Upper St. Clair) had a game-high five goals, including three in a row during the third quarter, while freshman attackman David McCormack (Terrace Park, Ohio/Mariemont) had three goals and an assist. Sophomore attackman Jeff Chu (Berwyn, Pa./Conestoga) contributed three assists to lead all players. In goal, freshman Emil Weiss (Cary, N.C./Apex) had five saves, three of which came in the first quarter.
The Wolverines fell into a 2-0 hole in the first quarter, but a tally by Yealy and two from McCormack gave U-M its first lead of the game with 12:38 left in the second quarter. Denison and Michigan traded goals to end the half, with U-M in front 4-3.
Yealy single-handedly put the Wolverines ahead 7-3 by scoring at 14:04, 10:03 and 7:29 of the third quarter as U-M held a 9-5 advantage after 45 minutes of play.
Michigan stretched its lead to 11-5 a minute into the fourth quarter, before Denison rattled off three straight goals to make it a three-goal game with four minutes remaining. Seventeen seconds later, Yealy scored his final goal to halt the Big Red comeback bid.
The Wolverines play their inaugural varsity game next Sunday (Feb. 12) against Detroit Mercy. Game time is 1 p.m. at Ultimate Soccer Arenas in Pontiac, Mich. Tickets can be purchased through the Detroit Mercy ticket office or at the USA box office.

This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Wet-Nap but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #showusyourmess http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV
Is it just me or has this winter seemed like the longest one yet? I live in the south where it's normally unbearably warm. As crazy as it sounds for a born and raised Texan, I cannot wait for the heat!!! Summer means picnics at the park, outdoor BBQ's, beach days, hiking and then some. Alice loves to play outside. She loves to create and build and always has dirt under her nails. I'm a proud mommy of a messy girl that loves to get dirty. To me, it means she's using her imagination, expanding her brain, getting some sun and exercising her body.
At the park, beach or the backyard, getting her clean before she eats is easy with Wet-Nap wipes! Alice and I thought of a cute and fun gift idea for those family picnics at the park or backyard BBQ parties we are sure to be invited to this summer.
We made a fun Clothespin Wreath that will hold the individually wrapped Wet-Nap Antibacterial Hand Wipes. You can give this as a gift or put up at your own party or picnic. It's a perfect and convenient way to ensure your guests can keep there hands clean!
Creating the Clothespin Wreath is really easy. First you'll need either a wire circle or cut out a circle from a sturdy piece of cardboard. To create the pretty clothespins, I cut strips of paper and glued them onto the clothespins. Then I positioned them and hot glued them into place. You can position them in any fashion.Once finished, I attached a strip of burlap and a box to use as a hanger. Added my new Wet-Nap Hand Wipes and hung up our new messy summer fun decor piece!
After Alice and I made our Clothespin Wreath we decided we need to get messy! Ya know, so we could try out our new wreath.
Alice LOVES to cook and so I came up with an easy homemade BBQ sauce recipe that kids can make and enjoy!
- 1 cup ketchup
- 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Pickapeppa Sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Mix ingredients in a bowl and stir until well blended. (If you don't have Pickapeppa Sauce you can use any steak sauce or Worcestershire sauce.)Then transfer sauce to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium to low heat. Once it simmers remove from heat and let it cool a bit before using.
We decided to test Alice's new homemade BBQ sauce!! Alice wanted BBQ'd Hot Dogs and so that is what we had.
I must say, her new sauce was DELICIOUS!! We loved our BBQ'd Hot Dogs!! Cleaning up before and after eating during our backyard BBQ was easy with our new Wet-Nap Antibacterial Hand Wipes and if felt good knowing my families hands were nearly germ free!
I found the Wet-Nap Hand Wipes at Walmart for under $2, for either the canister or box of individual packets. They are a MUST for any outdoor summer fun. Throw some in your beach bag or take them along in your hiking backpack. They are a great way to keep your kids hands clean and your own, too. Click this LINK for fifty five cents ($.55) off of any Wet-Nap product!!
Now, go get ready for some MESSY SUMMER FUN!!

It sounded too good to be true when police in Bulgaria announced they had found a £1.2 million Stradivarius violin — stolen more than two years ago from a cafe at Euston rail station — in the hands of a gipsy crime boss.
Made in 1696 by Italian master Antonio Stradivari, it had been snatched from virtuoso Min Jin Kym as she ate lunch in a Pret A Manger outside the station in November 2010.
But hopes that the violin was genuine were dashed today when British Transport Police announced that experts had examined it in the Bulgarian capital Sofia and found it to be a replica. Earlier this month it was reported that the missing violin might have been recovered after the gipsy gang boss tried to sell a Stradivarius to undercover police for around £250,000.
He was arrested in a sting operation and the violin, with all the markings of a genuine Stradivarius, was seized.
Just three of the rare violins are known to be missing throughout the world so hopes were raised that this was the one stolen in Euston.
But today British Transport Police confirmed it was a fake. Detective Chief Inspector Simon Taylor said: "It is thought to be a replica training violin, made in either Germany or the modern-day Czech Republic, no more than 100 years ago."
He re-issued appeals for information and said the reward for the violin's return still stood at £30,000.
Miss Kym, who has played with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, bought it a decade earlier for £750,000 and was devastated by the loss. The thief, Irish traveller John Maughan, 30, was caught after police recognised him on CCTV. He tried to sell the violin to a bus driver for £100, then it vanished. Maughan was jailed for four and a half years.
A spokesman for Miss Kym said today: "She appreciates the ongoing search for the stolen instrument, and the many good wishes from the public."
Anyone with information should call BTP on 0800 40 50 40 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

The product will make my hair hard and brittle. Glycerin always make my hair dry and hard. I tried it on wet hair, dry hair, homemade mixtures, heavy handed, light handed, low dew point, high dew points. It just does not work for me. I can put the product in my hair and it will look cute but once my hair dries it is a serious brillo pad. This was a hard lesson to learn because just about every product that is out there has glycerin in it. I could never figure out why my hair was so dry.

Ava Crowder Quotes
|Season 4 / Episode 12: - Peace of Mind
Boyd Crowder: A man who speaks out of both sides of his mouth deserves to have it shut.
Ava Crowder: Who said that?
Boyd Crowder: Boyd Crowder.
|Season 4 / Episode 11: - Decoy
Nicky Augustine: How many dicks do you have to suck to get to the top of the food chain around here? It's got to be a ton of dicks. It's got to be like morning, noon and night. Like ever since you were fourteen. It's gotta be like the alarm goes off, I'm sucking dick. Where's another dick I can suck. Dick dick dick. Go to bed suck a dick. Dicks dicks dicks, it's got to be a ton. Like a small time blonde girl like you, looking for a better life. Plenty of girls like you, but what sets you apart? Extraordinary vacuuming skills. It's got to be, right? Is that why they let you run the whore house? Because you train the girls? In your off hours is it like "Okay, girls"... [Imitates talking with full mouth]
Ava Crowder: I'm a businesswoman, Mr. Augustine.
Nicky Augustine: Oh. In that you attach yourself to whatever guy gets you what you want? Please just answer my question. How many tweaker dick heads did you have to suck off before you got to this wonderful place in your life?
Ava Crowder: You know what? I feel like a Brandy. Kind of drink I imagine you folks up north enjoy. Hell, I might acquire a taste for it.
Nicky Augustine: You know, your Boyd, there, he's got a real heart of a champion. He is willing to do whatever it takes to get what it is that he wants. But what about you? What are you willing to do? What are you willing to take?
Johnny Crowder: All right. Enough.
Nicky Augustine: Or give? You really love Boyd, don't you? That ring he got you, where'd he get it from one of those claw machines at Denny's? He must be good at that machine, 'cause it's hard to get something, you know. It's always lifting up, then it drops. Come on. Show me your tits. I want to see them. I want to see what got you to the top...
Johnny Crowder: All right, enough, God damn it!
Nicky Augustine: Oh, really, Johnny? Oh, we're gonna put on a show?
Johnny Crowder: Just stop talking.
Nicky Augustine: Ooh. Wait. You're... you're serious? I thought you were... Playing a... Oops. Shit.
Ava Crowder: What's going on?
Johnny Crowder: Ava, d-don't listen to a word this man says.
Nicky Augustine: Oh, me and my mouth. [Awkward silence] Somebody say something!
Ava Crowder: What'd you do?
Nicky Augustine: This is heartbreaking. Don't tell her, Johnny. He went to Duffy! He made his play, a while ago. 'Cause guys don't have to really suck dicks to get what they want. They just need to betray someone.

The Careful Writer by Theodore M. Bernstein

Excellent reference. A bit outdated. A must for the writer's reference shelf.

Carful -- and Correct (A little title to avoid the word Introduction, which so many reders find frightening) 8 1/2 pages of introduction. Not going to happen! Fourth paragraph. This book is designed as a guide to good written English usage. Only a generation or so ago such a design was a relatively uncomplicated matter.
Humm there is a good deal more of good reasons and what he will do here. Take it out and enjoy the learning. And he might have for surely revised the 1977 version in 1995!

Last I heard jailbreaks were just under 9% I believe
First of all, jailbreaking is a useful hack that is pretty harmless and gives us some cool perks. HOWEVER, jailbreaking takes advantages of holes (or exploits) in the software to gain access to your phone so as to make it run programs not normally allowed.
These exploits can be used just as easily for bad as they are used for jailbreaking. Apple has a duty to protect its customers (90%+ who don't hack their phones) from malicious use of these exploits. How is that so hard to understand? Its 90%+ versus 10% or less here. How quickly would Apple be sued if they just decided to let jailbreakers have their day and didn't patch any holes? Its all fun and games till your bank info, SSN and everything else get stolen.
Apple also has developer agreements to honor and Cydia infringes on those agreements. Contrary to the (erroneous) majority view here on MMi, Apple has no legal obligation to allow you to keep your jailbreak. The court ruling said only that it wasn't illegal. That ruling stated only that you couldn't be prosecuted for jailbreaking, not that Apple must allow you to keep it through subsequent software updates.
And you do realize that Apple was just named by Fortune as the most admired company......FOR THE 4TH STRAIGHT YEAR? Or that their stock is up 300% in the last 2 years? Or that they're consistently rate #1 in customer satisfaction among tech companies?
I've posted a couple of links below so you can learn a few things before posting again.

^ I agree. Apple must do it's due diligence to fix any security issues.
I never said I believed Apple should be non-profit. I never said I didn't think Apple gave good customer satisfaction (although I am not personally satisfied as a customer, this is mostly because iOS and I don't get along in general.) I'm not clinging to the notion that three-year-old phones should get all the latest perks.
I have a perfectly realistic viewpoint and I am voting with my wallet when my contract gets renewed. If you can't accept another person's viewpoint without getting hostile, that is your problem.
Was going to happen eventually, 3 years is a long time in phone life.
And if you're dissatisfied, voting with your wallet is the best thing you can do. I'm curious though, are you gonna go to Android and be lucky if you ever get any software update other than the one you buy the phone with? Or you gonna go with BlackBerry's vastly inferior hardware? Maybe WinPho 7 and no cut/paste and their phone-bricking OTA updates (oh and their removable but "non removable" microSD cards)?
Seriously, I'd like to know. Because compared to Android (Apple's current biggest "rival"), 3 years worth of firmware support is gonna seem like eternity.

It's just going to get slower and slower. New firmwares=more advances, old hardware can't handle it.
Most older computers can handle software updates, but it won't change the fact the older hardware can't run it well. I had a 4 year old Toshiba laptop, updates are fine, it just runs things slower. Got fed up and sold it and bought another. 4 years is a long time, just like the 3 year old iPhone 3G is getting old.
It was bound to happen. I think the 3GS will be fine up until next year even. But not the 3G.
Oh, and I've lived without an expandable memory slot for the last two years and it's done me no harm!
WP7 is still in its infancy, but given its stringent hardware requirements designed specifically to reduce hardware fragmentation (which may have been ruined since the Nokia partnership) I wouldn't be surprised to see WP7 updates for at least a similar length to Apple. I'm dipping into untested waters here, but whether WP7 as a platform is doomed to failure, I'm willing to bet that microsoft won't give this one up so easily.
Good call. I have zero intention of leaving my iP4 but if I were forced to, I'd go WP7. I like Android but the firmware thing would infuriate me. Plus WP7 hardware is super nice. I'm playing with a Samsung Focus right now (I sell cell phones on eBay for a living) and its very nice.
My point on the memory was that it was touted as being expandable but its actually not at this point (Apple makes no such claim).
I think in two years when WP7 has its footing, it'll be a two-horse race for second place between them and Android. WP7 is much more user friendly than Android......but then again I have yet to come across a less user-friendly (basic user) smartphone OS than Android.
I know -- I tried to like Android, but I just couldn't. It doesn't feel professional or polished, or even finished; it really is like a slapdash Linux distro for smartphones. I'm really crossing my fingers that WP7 will 'take' in the market as I feel there's definitely room for another OS...but I guess we'll see!
Be realistic? How about not everyone can afford to get the latest and greatest hardware? Sure it's an old platform, but one that still works. Consider people using phones the rest of us otherwise laugh at. I understand why apple would drop support for the aging device, but a better suggestion would be allow them to upgrade to the 3GS for free... Seeing as they'll drop support for THAT too in another couple years anyway. Realistic... Really? Have fun with all your money and new toys everytime something new comes out.
Apple offers the longest support and most thorough support for their phone's OS. How do you not get that?
And if you can't afford a new phone on contract every two years, you likely can't afford your monthly smartphone bill at all. $200 is a small amount of money in a two year span.
lol at apple giving you free upgrades. Back to the non-profit corporation argument are we?
Had you actually read my reply, I said I UNDERSTOOD why apple would drop support for it. And I can afford my monthly bill just fine. And I typically upgrade to something new everytime my contract is up anyways. It really is nice when people actually read what you write... I think you missed my point entirely.
I spoke with apple and they said this is definitely not the case. They said that at the very least, it is going to be able to run 4.3
I personally don't have a use for a 3G, but I know alot of people don't care about upgrading to the newest phone. They also could care less if apple stopped updating their firmware.
I didn't read all 5 pages of this thread, so I apologize if I am repeating someone elses post.
2nd to last bullet: original and 3G iPhone not supported.
Shittt My Bill Still Lower Then Yalls LoL But Im Getting A iPhone 4 for Verizon F the B/S i like that style of iphone BEST

Disputes Over Competing Claims to Domain Names
As an alternative to a lawsuit over use of a domain name, trademark holders can file a complaint with an ICANN-approved dispute resolution organization. See http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp-policy-24oct99.htm. Generally, complainants must show that they have valid rights in the mark, the domain name registrant has no rights in the mark, and the domain was registered in bad faith. The World Intellectual Property Organization and the National Arbitration Forum are approved by ICANN to conduct domain name dispute resolution. The process is similar to a lawsuit but is designed to be speedier and less costly. Generally, no hearing is required and the arbitrator resolves the dispute on the papers submitted. ICANN has promulgated general rules of procedure which are augmented by a supplemental set of rules for each arbitration organization. See http://www.icann.org/dndr/udrp/uniform-rules.htm
The Mere Act of Registering a Domain Name May Infringe a Famous or Already Trademarked Mark
Jack In The Box, Inc. v. Jackinthebox.org, 2001 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 9586 (E.D. Va. 2001). The court held that a trademark holder is entitled to relief under the ACPA when the act of registering a domain name itself is found to violate the holder's trademark. The court held that the mere act of registering an Internet domain name is sufficient to invoke the protection of the in rem provision of the ACPA.

Neither the M67 grenade nor the RGO grenade do explode when thrown directly to the ground.
Both grenades lay on the ground and vanish after some seconds without an explosion.
They work as intended when thrown at a greater distance.

Can confirm it, also sometimes they do not explode when thrown at a vehicle.
Updated by Spooner about 8 years ago
I'm wondering if this is meant as a noob-protection device, rather than a bug, since Arma has always been very haphazard for throwing grenades. I noticed they added the realistic self-arming of UGL grenades, which is great and wondered if they had just put in a "explosives cannot explode if they'd damage their firer" system in rather than specifically fixed UGL grenades.
Updated by rocko about 8 years ago
There's a config entry called "fuseDistance = 5;". I guess you have to throw it further than 5 meters for the grenade to activate timer/fuse and go boom.
However the M67 should explode always when pin pulled. The RGO has a fail safe system, it explodes after some time even if the impact fuse has not triggered.

Is this fuse-distance Editable/Modable via Configs? So at least the Killer-Mods can be able to change that?
Fuse-Distance is very realistic btw, almost every fired explosive weapons in RL have this security measure implemented - but no Hand-Grenades :-)

Published on Jul 25, 2016 Editor's Pick So far, most of the 2016 Olympics ads we've seen have been very serious, emotive pieces of work -- so it's refreshing to see Samsung, in this campaign from the U.K., bring a bit of humor to the forthcoming Rio Games. A series of films by BBH Sport see comedian Jack Whitehall take some lessons in cycling, rowing and boxing with top U.K. Olympians including champion cyclist Sir Bradley Wiggins (seen here, together with Becky James), multiple gold medalist rower Sir Steve Redgrave, with fellow rower Helen Glover and boxers Joe Ward and Katie Taylor. The comedy stems not so much from Whitehall's inability to get to grips with the sport -- that's kind of an obvious joke to make -- but more from him doing his best to insult and wind up such revered figures. For instance, he tells Wiggins that most athletes resemble Greek gods, but "your physique looks more like someone who's been shipwrecked." He asks Redgrave: "Would you swap your golds for a proper medal, like, say a bronze in the 100 meters?" Whitehall, who did a similar thing last year in a Samsung campaign based around the Rugby World Cup, helped script the films -- and director Gabe Turner at Rattling Stick does a great job of getting deadpan performances out of the athletes. Further films, on horseriding and swimming, are to follow. Samsung, which is an official Olympic sponsor and Team GB Partner, says the campaign is designed to "enhance the nation's knowledge and enjoyment of Olympic and Paralympic events."

Stephen Walli, CTO of the CodePlex Foundation, has published not one but two excellent blogs on the Open Core debate. Even more interestingly, he used some of my thoughts as a springboard for his posts.
Walli expands on the notion I tossed out that "open" and "free" are really two pieces of the same puzzle. While each has their own perspectives on what they think is the right thing, both communities ultimately have the same goal.
Walli, however, isn't buying it:
"I'm still not happy with that debate because I don't think it addresses the underlying problem of value systems and terminology. Having a debate about software freedom versus open source software (and then debating who is more free or more open) suffers the same problems and tensions as arguing that free speech is better than free markets or that democracy is more important than capitalism. They are different ideas. The ideas themselves are each extremely important in their own domains of debate (politics and commerce). The ideas can be synergistic. I would happily debate if one is a necessary foundation of the other, or whether one particularly enables the other, but I think debating whether one is somehow better than the other or more important than the other is an empty debate. All you do at that point is identify yourself to the other participants by the value system in which you choose to expend your own time and skills. (I made my choice a long time ago and stepped into the commercial sphere. It doesn't mean that I don't care about politics and democracy and don't vote my conscience in elections, but rather that I believe I can best contribute in a commercial sphere.)"
Free and open, he believes, are not the same thing, but the whole debate is silly anyway, so why are we bothering?
The problem of dealing with the disparities between free and open isn't just an Oxford debate. How companies (with strictly commercial motivations) work with communities (with motivations that can vary from creativity to commercial and everything in-between).
It's that interface Walli focuses on in his second missive:
"I believe part of the confusion is between the FOSS projects with their attendant communities, and products in the market that incorporate the project. One doesn't know when the governance discussion stops and the market discussion begins. Community development and governance are interesting edges around which to have the discussion."
Walli goes on to make a good point: it ultimately doesn't matter if a company chooses to go open core. It's how the company handles its relations with the community. If a company does things above board, then it honors open source and free ideals far more than what license or business model it chooses.
I recommend you read Walli's works for yourself, because it's a keen insight on how free, open source, and open core can fit together.

The lecture "More than a Club in the World" will take place 4:30-6 p.m. at Kissick Auditorium, Arrillaga Family Sports Center, on the Stanford campus in Palo Alto, Calif. It is open to the public.
"More than a Club in the World" has long been the slogan of one of the best-known clubs in the world. FC Barcelona became a haven for Catalan sentiment when Catalan self-government and Catalan culture were proscribed during the Franco dictatorship. It has since become a global soccer giant, while continuing to identify Europe's largest and most developed non-state culture. FC Barcelona has developed a strong interest in the U.S. market in recent years,

Awesome Stuff: Computers And Gesture Input Devices
from the fruit-ninjas-are-everywhere dept
- First up, is the MiiPC. It's an Android-powered PC that's designed for family use. From the screenshots/video they show, they at least appear to have done a decent job making Android functional as a desktop OS. Some of the "family" features seem a little hokey and overhyped, but perhaps it appeals to some people.
- So that's a more modern take on a PC, but how about one that's a bit more retro? The the X500 is a modern computer case, but which takes its design cues from classic early 1980s gaming consoles like the Amiga, Atari and Sinclair. My first computer was an Atari 800, so I've got a soft spot for this style of design, even if it's probably not that practical these days.
- Since we're talking about DIY, howzabout the DUO, the world's first DIY 3D sensor. If you've been living under a rock for a while, you may have missed all the buzzy and hype about the Leap Motion controller for gesture recognition on your computer. The DUO, conceptually, is pretty similar to the Leap, except that this not about fancy shiny locked up boxes, but about making your own damn fancy gesture controller. Basically, the different levels get you started at different points along the process of making your own such device (though, yes, you can also purchase fully assembled ones, but they're much more expensive than the Leap).
- And since we're on the subject of gesture recognition for computers, how about the the NUIA eyeCharm, which is an add on to the Kinect (which we'll assume you already know about...), to make it so you can control your computer via eye movements. There were rumors that Samsung was working on something like this to be built into phones and tablets, but these guys are doing it as a simple add on to the Kinect.

Richard Stallman: Legislate That Using Software On General Purpose Computers Is Not Infringing
from the one-way-out dept
The second post in the series comes from Richard Stallman, who notes that it seems quite unlikely that the US will carve out software patents, noting (correctly) that this might not solve the problem anyway, since patent lawyers would just change how they write patent applications to get around any such carve-out. Instead, he suggests a different solution: limiting how widely software patents can impact new technology:
My suggestion is to change the effect of patents. We should legislate that developing, distributing, or running a program on generally used computing hardware does not constitute patent infringement. This approach has several advantages:It's an interesting suggestion, but I'm not so sure it would go over that well. People would certainly question why general purpose computing gets a pass. Also, the "generally used computing hardware" standard could be kind of hard to define as well. It still seems like there are more elegant solutions that focus on the real root of the problem, rather than trying to "carve out" certain impacts that we don't like.
- It doesn't require classifying patents or patent applications as "software" or "not software."
- It provides developers and users with protection from both existing and potential future computational idea patents.
- Patent lawyers can't defeat the intended effect by writing applications differently.

How The Runaway Success Of A Tiny $25 Computer Could Become A Big Problem For Oppressive Regimes
from the hidden-benefits dept
The Raspberry Pi is a $25 credit-card sized computer that has succeeded in making GNU/Linux not just newsworthy, but downright desirable. The initial batch of boards sold out in minutes, and eager customers crashed the server where it was being sold.
The original vision of the Raspberry Pi was to promote amateur programming and to re-invigorate the teaching of computing in the UK (and elsewhere) by providing a very low-cost and easily hackable system. Naturally, though, its open source code allows it to be applied in many different situations. Here, for example, is a plan to create a secure chat system for activists that can be used in countries where communications are routinely under surveillance, using a program called Cryptocat:
Because of their low-cost and small size they can then be shipped to activists and NGO's in areas where free-speech is difficult.
An interesting consequence of Moore's Law and the ready availability of free software is that powerful computers can now be produced for just tens of dollars, and in an extremely small package. The low cost means that organizations supporting activists can send in many such systems to countries with human rights problems, and replace them if they are discovered and confiscated or destroyed. The size makes it much easier to import them discreetly, as well as to conceal them in countries that try to keep computing under tight control.
"This is especially useful for activist organizations, human rights organizations, any group composed of a few dozen people who need to have an internal secure communication service," said Mr Kobeissi.
Small, portable Raspberry Pi computers set up to run Cryptocat, he believes, may be a quick way to build such a service.
And it's not just the Raspberry Pi that will be making this possible. Its high-profile success is likely to mean that in due course other systems will be produced that are cheaper and smaller. That will ensure they are even more popular with the educational market and hackers -- and even more problematic for oppressive regimes.

See also microrax.com for a similar product and for some good product ideas.
The schematic says the HPF is 0.5 Hz. My calculator says it is 0.03 Hz.
Also, there are no pin numbers on the schematic so you will have to refer to the datasheet to know how the chip is wired. Hopefully, the pinouts are per the datasheet, but there is no way to know for sure without reverse engineering the PCB.
No public wish lists :(
