Yuejin Trucks
Yuejin UK company has recently started to sell Chinese Yuejin trucks in Great Britain.
Website: http://www.yuejin.co.uk/
The price is going to be between 8500-9000£, which is about 12,500-13,000 euros. That's 2/3 the price of the nearest competitor !

Yuejin UK Limited is actually a privately (family) owned UK company who are the distributors for Nanjings Yuejin trucks. This company was created in April 2003 and is run by at least two members of the Sukhram family, not Nanjing.
Yes, good news. Thanks for the link Raul.

They may be 2/3rds the price but have you seen the interior? The dashboard uses clocks and switches last seen in early 1980's Metro's. It's awfull! Nanjing ought to do a deal with LDV in the UK. LDV have first class products already in production but aren't paticually big. If Nanjing and LDV combined resources then they could make proper vans together and do much better.
Those Nanjing products are terrible...I hope we can expect better for MG...

Newbie buys a new Yuejin Hiliner truck
I recently moved from Connecticut to Honduras (Central America) where I am developing a 1560 acre property as an off-road riding area.
There are loads of Chinese-made motorcycles here, mostly 200cc four-stroke dual-sports with electric starting and full instruments/lighting, and selling for $1600-$2000 new. Also some Chinese economy cars like Cherys.
Centromotor, the Citroen dealer in the capital Tegucigalpa, is now importing the Chinese-made Hiliner medium duty trucks. Driving by the dealership one day, this new brand caught my attention, and I stopped in to check them out. I had been considering buying a medium duty truck like a Mitsubishi, Isuzu NPR, or Chevy Kodiak for construction supplies and other needs.
A few weeks later, after doing additional research and looking over the trucks inside, outside, and underneath three times, I bought a new Hiliner model NJ1062DA. Hiliner is the export brand name for Yuejin, one of the top brands in China. Considering all the talk about how the Chinese car/truck market is exploding, I was a little surprised that Yuejins annual sales are only just over 40,000 vehicles. Penske probably burns through more medium duty Internationals than that each year.
The truck I bought appears to me to be a copy of the popular Isuzu NPR. Tilt cab, 4.1 liter intercooled turbo diesel, 5 speed manual transmission, dual battery 24 volt electrical system, power steering, air brakes, power-assisted hydraulic clutch, dual rear wheels (7.50 x 16). 130 inch wheelbase, 6-1/2 x 14 bed with side panels that fold down so a fork lift can load from the side, and materials like gravel can be unloaded without lifting them over the side. The manufacturers load rating is 6600 lbs, which seems ridiculously conservative. The importers load rating is 10,000 lbs, which seems reasonable.
This truck is currently being sold in Europe, and is certified for the current Euro II emissions standards and safety standards. It has three point seatbelts for the driver and one passenger. I suspect that the front bumper is a stopgap attempt to pass bumper standards because it is molded plastic like the ones they use on non-Euro II models, but then reinforced with 1/4 thick handlaid fiberglass on the inside.
It seems they went all out on the lighting. The flush headlights feature 70/75 watt (high/low beam) Philips halogen bulbs, plus an additional pair of halogen high beams (four high beams total), plus large rectangular amber fog lights mounted in the bumper.
I looked over the design, layout, and construction of the truck carefully three times and it appears to be functionally well built. I especially looked over the cable and hose routing, as these are often the source of problems on vehicles that have not been thoroughly tested. The few things I did not like were probably minor, like a set-screw ferrule at the fuel injection end of the throttle cable (easy to adjust cable play but also easy to come loose). The exhaust outlet pipe from the turbo runs close to some cables and is covered with an insulating wrap, I would want to keep an eye on this wrap to make sure it doesnt deteriorate.
Interior panels and upholstery are not up to Japanese quality standards, but appear adequate. The multi-switches work well, although the dash-mounted fog light and 4 way flasher switches feel a little rough. The steering wheel has a tilt feature. There are two large glove compartments and excellent fusebox access. There is one area towards the bottom of the dash on the passengers side that looks unfinished and should have an additional dash-matching panel.
One of the things I did like was a heavy use of zerk fittings on the suspension and steering components, including the leaf spring mounts. The suspension uses multi-leaf springs front and rear. The solid front and rear axles are unlocated except by the leaf springs, and there are no anti-roll bars.
With the cab tilted forward for drivetrain access, the engine compartment looks good, with good positioning and mounting of components. The intercooler is a large, well constructed aluminum air-to-air unit. The engine block, head, exhaust manifold, turbo, and transmission case are all cast iron. The valve cover and intake manifold are cast aluminum. Obviously, without destructive testing/disassembly I can not judge the quality of the materials and machining. Nor do I know how many valves per cylinder are used.
The quality and finish of the exterior cab panels is very good. The glass looks sleek, the nose panels are plastic which resists dings and chips, and there are three large front-mounted exterior mirrors. One time I brought my eleven year old neighbor to see the truck. She is not a big talker, but she is observant and likes mechanical things. After she looked over the truck she just said one word, bonita! (pretty).
The trucks maintenance schedule appears typical, mostly just oil and filter changes and simple inspections like belt tension and fluid checks out to 62,000 miles (100,000 km). Valve adjustments are at 24,800 miles (40,000 km) and 49,600 miles (80,000 km). Warrantee by the Honduran importer is 3 years/31,000 miles (50,000 km).
The out-the-door price I paid for the truck, including 12% Honduran tax and registration fees, was $17,100 ($15,179 before taxes). This is roughly one half of the $30,000+ price of a new comparable Mitsubishi or Isuzu. If one used this truck for 171 freelance jobs of $100 profit per job, say hauling construction or gardening supplies, the truck would be paid for. That would be say five jobs per week for eight months. Assuming the truck is reliable, it is hard to beat the economics in that (without even looking at resale value).
I drove the truck 65 miles to my home from the dealership today. I have zero experience driving a medium duty truck, zero experience with air brakes, zero experience with turbo diesel truck engines. And I had to start off in aggressive city traffic, so I was a tad intimidated. Luckily, traffic was unusually light. I only had one close call, when I was stopped for traffic getting off an exit ramp. I absentmindedly put it in reverse instead of the adjacent forward gear and nearly rammed the bus that was stopped behind me.
Visibility out of the cab is excellent, as are the mirrors. All the controls work well. The steering is smooth and consistent, though I feel like a slightly smaller steering wheel would work better. The transmission shifts smoothly. The clutch releases over a short span towards the end of its travel, which is what I like, but is unusual and takes a little getting used to. The brakes are a bit touchy but will probably smooth out in a thousand miles. There is a large gauge that says MPa but has no symbol explaining what it is. It stays around .6 to .7, just rising a tad at high rpms, so I am guessing it is oil pressure. I would definitely like to have a vacuum/boost gauge to help me know what loads induce what levels of manifold pressure. There is no flash to pass which is a feature I will miss.
For someone who is not used to a medium duty truck, the ride is harsh, but I am guessing that that is par for the course for its capacity rating. The suspension design is the same as virtually any other medium duty. Cab vibration is a little worse than I would expect. There is a loud creaking sound from behind the cab, I suspect it is a cab mount or latch that needs lube.
Most of the drive was on a two lane back road with several mountain passes over 4000 above sea level. The transmission is essentially a 4-speed plus an extra low gear for heavily loaded starts. The truck would pull all the mountains in top gear (unloaded except for a motorcycle in the bed) at an indicated 42mph. If I downshifted one gear on the steeper climbs 50mph was no problem. These climbs have many of the loaded trucks (medium and heavy duty) down to 20-35mph. I will have to wait to see how the truck does loaded. The odometer is 12% optimistic based on the Honduran kilometer markers, I did not check the speedometer accuracy yet.
Most of the road has broken pavement and potholes, so most of the time I was driving 45-50mph, which was fast enough to pass several other trucks. Only one new Toyota pick-up and one unloaded flatbed tractor trailer passed me. On one smoother flat section I held my foot to the floor and the speedo stayed at 62mph. The spec sheet says top speed is 65mph, and I am guessing that is speed limited, so 62mph on the speedo seems a little slow. But I only did it one time on a green engine, so a little more testing will be required before drawing conclusions.
True to the reputation of Chinese-built motorcycles, when I got home I found that one bolt that holds a rubber stop for the folding bed had vibrated off, and I noticed a front fender flare bolt was loose, so I will have to check over all the bolt tensions tomorrow. China, there is an answer to this problem: Nylock nuts! Also, one of the cables that was near the turbo outlet pipe is now touching the thermal wrap. I can see a few other spots that could use an extra wire tire to locate a cable or wire loom.
I hope this article is informative and if people are interested I will give an update when I have more mileage on the truck.

A very interesting read - thanks
I think you will find that Yuejin put a bit more effort into quality than most Chinese bike manufacturers! There are always a one or two initial faults with any vehicle, whoever makes it.
Give us a progress report sometime please and welcome to China Truck Forums.

Thanks everyone. I have not seen any Yuejin light trucks, as I said, this is a new dealer/distributor in Honduras and the vehicles have just been available for a couple of months. They do have a couple of smaller medium duty models with 2.8 liter and 4.1 liter normally-aspirated motors. There are quite a lot of JMC mini pick-ups here, which i am guessing are Chinese but I am not sure. And there are a few Geely micro pick-ups.
Here is a little
updated info:
The truck has air brakes and a friend pointed out to me that the MPa
gauge is for air pressure for the brake lines and clutch power assist.
Of course, noone at the dealership told me you have to wait a few
seconds to build pressure after the truck has been sitting a while.
They also told me the tires take 50psi, when they are marked for a
recommended pressure of 110psi.
The reason the truck would not go faster, other than way low tire
pressure, is that there is an adjustable throttle stop under the
throttle pedal, and it was limiting the throttle to about 90% open.
After adjusting it for full open, the truck will do 114kph on the
speedo. True speed, after compensating for a 7% optimistic speedo, is
105kph/65mph, just as claimed in the manufacturer's specs. If it is not
speed limited, it may go a little faster after break in.
I found a load of loose bolts, pretty much all for body parts such as
the bed and fenders. No drivetrain or suspension hardware was loose,
except a couple of radiator/intercooler bolts were a bit loose. But if
I hadn't checked it over, a bunch of stuff would have fallen off very
soon. The squeaky cab was due to no grease on the tilt-cab latches.
I have only found one engineering error. The rear fenders are bolted
to rectangular cross-section sheetmetal tubes that support the bed. The
bolts run through the sheetmetal tubes, so when you tighten the bolts,
they squash the tubes and won't hold tension. Either a heavier gauge
metal should have been specified, or collars welded in from the
factory. There is no way to add collars now due to a lack of access. To
reinforce the tubes, I manufactured four steel flat stock
reinforcements and used Nyloc nuts, which don't need as much tension.
Not a perfect solution, but it should work.
Today I pulled two loads, each of 108 pressure treated 2x6" (actual
dimension 2x6" after planing) 16' pine boards. I estimate a load weight
of say 9000 lbs. The trips weren't long, but they included one pretty
steep paved climb, plus a couple of miles of fairly rough dirt road
with erosion-exposed rocks. At the bottom of the paved climb I was
doing 40 mph in top gear. I downshifted one gear and it pulled the
climb in this gear, though my speed dropped down to 23mph for a short
distance at the end of the climb. I'm sure I was way off the power peak
at that point, and another downshift would have increased my speed.
Sounds slow, but it is about on par with the speeds of other loaded
medium and heavy duty trucks on this climb. The truck worked well, no
problems with the brakes or suspension with this load. There are seven
tie-down hooks on each side of the bed. The load was loaded in seconds
by a payloader from the side with the truck's bed walls folded down.
After loading, the bed walls were put back in place in seconds. Very

ADVICE NEEDED: Purchasing a new TV
Hey guys. I could really use some help on deciding on which TV to get. I am so confused I don't really know what to do haha. As far as brand I believe I have narrowed it down to Samsung. (Yes I know Pioneer Elite is the best, but I'm not wanting to spend 5K+ on a TV right now). I would like to stay in the range of at least 55" and above.
As far as the type of tv, I have both an LCD and Plasma, and so far I have not been happy with the LCD so I'm going to stay away from there. Here are the two following Plasma's that I am debating on buying. Can someone help me figure out the difference between the two in terms of picture quality and features?
Samsung PN63A760
Samsung PN63A650
Now in light of shopping for those two, I saw the new LED backlit Samsung TV's and I must say I am amazed. The largest they go is 55" but the quality of the picture seemed much better than the LCD's that I was comparing it to. Also the amt of heat was much lower than the plasmas. To top it off a thickness of 1" is def hard to beat.
here's the model number: UN55B7000
Can anyone here help me make a decision or help shed some light on what to do? I'm kinda stuck at this point and can't seem to figure out how to weigh the pros and cons of each.
Thanks for reading, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Panasonic 65" hands down.
PS - I own a 63" Sammy.
Panasonic 65" hands down.
PPS - Sammys are nice TVs, dont read into it too much.
I have the 65" Panasonic Plasma, it blows me away daily. I have a bunch of other top of the line LCD's as well and that Plasma is truly amazing.
which panasonic 65? specifically what model number? I'd down for whatevers...have you seen the new LED Samsungs? 1" thick for a 55" all the way around? pretty impressive IMO
I have a Hitachi 50" Plasma and I'm very happy :pimpin:
Once it's in your house, you'll love it regardless (unless you end up with a "Milky Black LCD")
I got mine for $800...18 months ago :woot:
151fd the way to go! lol I have a pioneer and a panasonic, the panasonic is acceptable but I always go back to my pioneer
Pioneer just left the plasma market (or tv's all together I don't remember)
anyone know about these Samsungs that I was talking about?
glockman talked me out of LED's...I was looking at the Sharps...They looked amazing in the stores because they ran blu-ray demo disks on them to make them look amazing, while only pushing 1080i to the rest of the tvs....they also get certain units ISF certified making certain sets look much better than others...glockman knows everything, listen to him.
58-inch and larger models Approximate retail price
Samsung PN58A550
Samsung PN58A550
Price: $3200
Summary: A 58-inch plasma HDTV from Samsung with 1920x1080 resolution, 2 component-video inputs, and 3 HDMI inputs.
See model overview
Go for this! I love samsungs and they are taking over the market IMO. I took that off of consumer reports website they rate it #1 above the pioneer that cost $2300 (Pioneer PDP-6020FD ) and the panasonic comes in a close third (Panasonic TH-58PZ850U)
Now if you go with either the Samsung or Panasonic your gunna be happy. I'm just partial to Samsung. Good luck shopping!
Panasonic th-58pz800u is the one you want I promise.
Okay so I'm basically still stuck between the 63" plasma, or the 55" LED. Lets stay on topic for those two models. Help me make a decision please! =)
Well, I have a 42 inch Panasonic plasma and I love it. I bought it in February.
I just got a samsung 46" LEDTV...amazing picture quality and its 1 inch thick!!
^^^post a pic to show everyone how thin it is? I don't think people really understand the pimp factor of your TV
I ended up getting the 63" sammy plasma. I'll try and take pictures and post it up.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 12
I just use my computer printer then refill the ink cartridges when they run out, I'd be interested in how other people print their zines - I still don't know what a "Xerox" actually is.
that is so cheap.. i use the local library because it is a 5 minute walk from home.. i just printed 20 zines, cost me $16.. kinda pricey.. of course that only makes them 80 cents a zine, but all at once is expensive.. i just checked Staples online, they are 7cents a side, 49cents for colour.. i might go there for the next zine.
"just got back from UPS mail-boxes"
Booo, there is nothing DIY about supporting corporate copy shops. Plus they are almost always more expensive than the indie alternatives.
I start a discussion about this few months ago.
anyways, I found a way to pay only 2c (in euro) per side, but it's only if you pay for a 5 thousands copy card ! (it's not a big deal since we also use it to print some flyers and posters for the few shows we promote.)
I'm lucky- theres a mom and pop shop just a few miles away from me that's just 5 cents a sheet (at least I think it still is.) In the future, I'm going to see if I can get a job at Kinkos. (They just hit nine cents a sheet)

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Dittos Conrat...great SHRIMP there too in season!! Right off the boat!
|Sampit River in Georgetown SC is a great little boater friendly town! I used to be the Capatain on the Jolly Rover there and its a good overnight ancorage...................Conrad
|Thanks for the responses and solid advice. I should have provided more details initially. We have been bareboat chartering for about five years--Fl Keys, Tampa Bay, Sarasota Bay, BVI. But this is our first boat. It's relatively new--2002--and well cared for. We do plan to spend the month of April doing shakedown sailing along the coast and perhaps in Biscayne Bay. It's the going off shore to catch the Gulf Stream and saling at night out of sight of land that will be new to us.
Boyd...Given your purchase in Florida...I am assuming this is a used boat.
The concern I would have is that with it being a used boat, you need a shakedown cruise to sort things out before getting out in the stream.
Assuming you are both capable sailors and navigators...I would start first with a day or two on the FL ICW...say to Palm Beach. This will allow you to analyze and deal with any immediately evident issues like overheating etc. while in protected waters and with towboatus and marinas handy.
Then you could hop outside at Palm Beach which is an all weather, easy inlet and come back in at Ft. Pierce after a long day offshore into another good inlet. This will allow any fuel problems or sail/rig problems to manifest themselves in the ocean swells and again ends at a good inlet with readily available marina services at the head of the inlet.
OK...now you can have some confidence that the boat is sorted out and will have gotten used to handling her and you can take on longer passages...perhaps next up to St. Augstine (about 150 miles) or Jacksonville (180) or the St. Mary's River (210) depending on how long you want to stay out.
From Northern FL...Charleston is about 180 miles and there are several interim harbors where you can lay over if you want to break it up.
From there it is an overnighter to the Cape Fear River and Southport and another overnighter to Beaufort depending on where you need to come into in NC.
The above is pretty much what we did last year coming north and it saves a lot of time over the ICW and is do-able by a couple without getting too tired from standing watch. Certainly with a crew, you can do longer legs if you choose but the route I've given also does not put you more than a day away from a manageable inlet if the weather forecast says to batten down.
You didn't ask for a tourist guide so I'll refrain...but there are a lot of awful nice places to pull in along the way and if you have the time it is worthwhile to stop and smell the magnolias!!
Boyd, what is your sailing experience? (i.e. first boat, but not new to sailing?)
Whether the boat is new or used, I'd suggest planning on some time to take it out for shakedown, a day cruise or perhaps a few days down to the keys, etc., and then plan on something between 48 hours and a week to obtain spares and parts and do whatever prep it needs before taking the boat home. It might need nothing...or it might need things that will take a week to arrive and three more days to fit and check out again.

FL==>NC advice needed
My wife and I are purchasing our first boat, a 42-ft Beneteau, in Fort Lauderdale and plan to move it this spring to North Carolina. We have friends who have taken a boat up the outside route before, and we can call on them to crew for a least part of the trip. We've motored the ICW enough on charters to know that we really do not want to go that route. Time is not an issue; we are both retired.
One scenario we have constructed is to add two experienced crew persons and ride the Gulf Stream under sail as far north as Savannah, GA, in early May if the weather cooperates. Then, we were thinking the two of us should be able to inlet hop the rest of the way, with perhaps one or two overnight passages as needed. I know the ICW might be faster, but we want to get the ocean sailing experience without the commitment of an extended passage.
Anybody ever done a similar trip and have useful advice?

Hi i am new and I am looking to buy a 1 series.
I had a test drive in the 118i m sport and i did enjoy it and like the car but felt the engine was a tad lame.
I currently have a 57 reg civic type r. I need to decide if i want power or style.
But a question i have is, can the ecu be changed to have the output of the 130?
Is it the same enginer in the car but just gives different power output?
Thanks for your help

Triumph Unveils Three New Models for 2012
Triumph Unveils Three New Models for 2012
A 1200cc Adventure-Tourer among the highlights
By Troy Siahaan, Oct. 24, 2011, Photography by Triumph
After a record-setting sales year in 2011, Triumph is set to celebrate its 110th anniversary in 2012 by introducing three new models. The following is a sneak peak at these new motorcycles with the information we know so far. Triumph will officially unveil each new model, complete with technical details, at the EICMA show in Milan November 8.
Tiger Explorer
s Tiger 800 and Tiger 800 XC were met with positive reviews from consumers and journalists alike. Indeed, the latter even narrowly edged out the BMW F800GS in our
Adventure-Touring Shootout earlier this year
. Not to be outdone however, for 2012 Triumph is introducing the Tiger Explorer as its flagship model in its adventure range.
Powering the Tiger Explorer is a 1200cc inline-Triple, which will likely be based on the 1050cc three-cylinder seen in the Speed Triple, bored, stroked or both to achieve the new displacement. It will be shaft-driven, feature a new fly-by-wire throttle and cruise control. The new bike will also have switchable ABS and traction control for better off-road prowess. Chassis is made from steel, with 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels. A single-sided swingarm shows off the latter.
A host of factory accessories are being developed alongside the Tiger Explorer, including both hard and soft luggage, low and high seat options and a range of heated electrical accessories, which can all be run simultaneously thanks to the Tigers best-in-class 950-watt generator.
Speed Triple R
Within the past year, Triumphs Daytona 675 and Street Triple have gotten the R model treatment with higher-spec suspension, brakes and wheels. Not to be outdone, the iconic and redesigned Speed Triple now gets the R suffix added to its name. Similar in scope to the Daytona and Street Triple, the Speed Triple R sports the latest NIX30 43mm fork in front and TTX36 shock in the rear (both courtesy of Ohlins). Lightweight five-spoke forged aluminum PVM wheels shave almost four pounds from the standard wheels, which is sure to improve handling and stopping power. Speaking of which, brakes are courtesy of Brembo and its four-piston radially mounted monobloc calipers. Switchable ABS is also available as an option.
Following in the footsteps of the Daytona 675R and Street Triple R, comes the Speed Triple R, complete with Ohlins suspension and lighter wheels.
Color options are limited to Phantom Black and Crystal White to match the livery of the Daytona and Street Triple R. Likewise, along with the iconic gold forks, the rear subframe is now painted red.
Bonneville Steve McQueen Edition
Yes, folks, Triumph is taking full advantage of its heritage - and the fact Steve McQueen insisted he ride a Trophy TR6 in
The Great Escape
- to produce a commemorative version based on the Bonneville T100. Working in conjunction with McQueens estate, just 1100 Bonnies worldwide will get the Steve McQueen treatment. This includes a military-style matte khaki green livery, stencil-style Triumph decal on the tank and the actors signature on the side covers.
With only 1100 Triumph Steve McQueen Edition Bonneville T100s being produced, this is your chance to own a motorcycle thats an homage to a film and motorcycle icon.
Featuring a solo seat and black luggage rack, the McQueen bike has also been fitted with a skid plate and small black-bodied headlamp. The Triumph Steve McQueen Edition features a host of other blacked-out components, including wheel rims and hubs, handlebars, rear springs, mirrors and front mudguard supports. To ensure each bikes authenticity, each machine is individually numbered with a plaque placed on the handlebar clamp, while owners will also receive a certificate of authenticity with their machine.
Again, full details on these, and the rest of Triumphs 2012 lineup, will be unveiled at Triumphs press conference November, 8 2011 at the EICMA show in Milan.
When not escaping from Nazi prison camps, McQueen was an accomplished Triumph rider and racer.

Before giving some hints for writing stock market essays, let us ask you several questions.
What do you know about the stock market in general? You probably know that the stock market is very important for healthy and strong economy of the country.
What do you know about Dow Jones Industrial Average? Well, not much indeed. You just hear every day that Dow Jones Industrial Average "rose/fell 2 percent".
It seems your understanding of the stock market is not that deep. This is why we stop asking further questions. By the way, stock market issues are not that easy to understand. This will be the main problem of writing a stock market essay.
Anyway, you need to get your stock market essay done. Our tips will help you.
Stock market essays: tip 1
First, you need to have a clear understanding of what a stock and stock market are. So, before you start writing your stock market essay, get a good dictionary and find clear definitions.
Stock market essays: tip 2
Try to get an overall idea of how the stock market is functioning and why it is so important for the country's economy. Explain it in a few words in your stock market essay.
Stock market essays: tip 3
Now, you need to think of some specific issues that will serve as the main idea of your stock market essay. Let us give you a couple of examples:
- Investing in the stock market – is it a good or bad idea?
- How did 9/11 attacks affect the stock market?
- Reasons for the 1929 stock market crash.
Stock market essays: tip 4
We strongly recommend you watch stock market news for a few days. Try to analyze and understand what is going on. It is an effective way to get ready for writing your stock market paper.
Besides, you can read our articles about a banking essay and gas prices essay.

Makes sense to me!
This is a discussion on VCDL - Open Carry Revisited within the Open Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; This is not intended to start an argument/debate about OC vs CC, but for informational purposes only. Background by DaveH: Per Pro2A's question and other ...
This is not intended to start an argument/debate about OC vs CC, but for informational purposes only.
Background by DaveH: Per Pro2A's question and other questions, which folk may have.As a number of folk here on DC have commented on VCDL always OCing or other comments about our position on OC, I thought I'd post the following from a recent VA-ALERT.1) As I have posted before, OC has different meanings in different States. Here in Virginia, OC means that if you can posses a gun, you can OC it. There is no "mother (or nanny) may I." There are no prior restraints on those who have not loss their rights to posses a firearm.
2) There are a few situs restrictions such as no OC in State Parks (albeit OC in local government parks are OK), no OC on USFS land out of hunting season, no OC on K-12 school property. (However, CHP holders may possess a loaded concealed handgun while in a vehicle), etc. [That's all I can think of right now. Anyone have another, join in.]
3) OC in restaurants is OK -- even under this new law. BTW if you drink you must OC, if you carry at all.
[First person singular pronouns (I, my, mine, etc) and "PVC" reference Philip Van Cleave, President VCDL]Last week when I spoke at the Rivannah Rifle and Pistol Club near
Charlottesville (thanks, again, to RRPC for their hospitality!), I was
asked if I could address VCDL's position on open carry vs concealed
carry. It turned out that one person who might normally have come to
the meeting didn't do so because he apparently didn't like VCDL
promoting open carry.
I addressed the issue at the meeting, but the more I thought of it,
the more I thought it should be addressed on VA-ALERT, as it had been
a while since we have done so.
While VCDL's predecessor organization (NVCDL) was formed in 1994
specifically to push for concealed carry reform, VCDL does not promote
one form of carry over the other. In fact, at VCDL events we don't
even suggest that anyone carry at all. We have always felt that our
members can decide for themselves as to whether they want to carry at
an event openly or concealed, or even carry at all for that matter.
VCDL does not sponsor open carry or concealed carry events at all. We
may sponsor an event celebrating a legislative victory, such as the
end of the restaurant ban, but we leave the decision on whether or not
to carry and the carry method up to the individual.
We WILL remind you if the law requires a certain form of carry for
those that are carrying. For example, when we held some of our
picnics in State Parks, we reminded everyone that concealed carry is
required by law for those carrying. Same for open carrying in a
restaurant that serves alcohol hosting an event before July 1, 2010.
There are two camps of thought on open carry:
1. Open carry is a right that helps advance our visibility, educates
the public by disproving the TV & movie stereotypes that the only
people who carry guns are cops or bad guys, moves our rights forward,
and doesn't require government permission
2. Open carry is a right, but politically dangerous, is too much "in-
your-face," takes away tactical advantages, and could end up being
banned or hurting our gun rights
VCDL, as an organization, does not subscribe to camp #2's view of open
carry. While we don't encourage or discourage open carry, we have
found that it has been an avenue to showing the general public that
everyday people, including friends and neighbors, are gun owners and
carry a gun in a responsible manner for self-defense.
But this issue is more complicated, with each method of carry having
advantages and disadvantages:
Open carry is more comfortable, especially in the hot summertime. It
allows fast access to the handgun in an emergency. It can deter crime
by a criminal seeing the gun and deciding to not go forward with a
crime, keeping the gun owner from even having to draw the gun (lots
of such cases documented, including within VCDL membership). HOWEVER,
you had better know the gun laws and know if you are in a "no carry"
zone. Although quite rare, you might be asked to leave private
property. IF YOU ARE ask to leave, do NOT demand that the property be
POSTED! Just politely leave.
Concealed carry can allow a handgun to be presented in a way that is a
surprise to criminal who has begun an attack, which, although
generally slower than open carry, can be a tactical advantage in many
cases because it allows YOU to decide whether or not to present your
firearm. It is very handy if you have inadvertently wandered into a
location where you aren't supposed to have a gun. Since the gun is
hidden, no one knows that you goofed up. It also avoids the problem
of carrying on private property where open carry is prohibited.
The argument by camp #2 that makes me pull out what is left of my hair
is that if someone open carries, they could cause us to lose that right.
My response to that argument is simple:
1. If you are afraid to exercise a right because it might be taken
away, then you don't really have that right in the first place and
2. If you are not exercising a right and don't feel that others
should either, then what do you really care if that right is taken
away or not?
VCDL will strongly fight to protect both methods of carry from any
attack in the General Assembly.
And the debate goes on... If you wish to comment on this alert, you
can do so on VCDL's blog site:

The Horus Killings (original 1999; edition 2002)
by P. C. Doherty
Work details
The Horus Killings by P. C. Doherty (1999)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Second in the Ancient Egyptian mysteries series. When multiple murders occur in the sacred Horus Temple, Judge Amertoke is asked to help solve and stop the murders.
This is a great time period for intrigue and mystery. This particular story takes place during the tumultuous reign of Queen Hatshepsut as she struggled to become the first woman Pharoah of Egypt. The plot and suspects are entertaining enough as in the time period and setting. What is also interesting is that as a judge the main protagonist sees other cases that we get glimpses of, sort of mini-mysteries themselves. I'm enjoying this series and on to the next one soon.
This is the second book in Amerokte, a priest of Ma'at, who investigates killing and other offences like this as a priest of order. It's in the period of Hatusu, a female pharoah in the 18th Dynasty and evokes the world and period. The priests are to determine if it's right that Hatusu is pharoah as a woman, and suddenly some of them start to die.
It's an interesting series with some interesting characters, it possibly needed some reminders of who people were and why they were as it was a while since I read the last book so my brain didn't quite catch up for a while. The mystery was fairly twisted and involved and I enjoyed the read,.
I know very little about ancient Egypt so it took me a while to get into the story, but once I did I enjoyed the story, which has a few subplots.

|Dr. Nikolaus Kuhn and Debora Haller work with students at the Kid's Lab. Photo by Brigitte Kuhn.
Debora Haller is the head of the Kids' Lab. The Physical Geography and Environmental Change Research Group of the University of Basel supports the lab, including Dr. Nikolaus Kuhn, Dr. Wolfgang Fister and Brigitte Kuhn.
The students were asked at the starting point of a recent session using the Emriver Em2 geomodel how a gorge like the Grand Canyon can form. The children were free to hypothesize, and soon they found out the answer by running an experiment in the Em2.
First they helped fill up the Em2 with its granulate material—color-coded-by-size modeling media made of melamine plastic—which got them physically involved. With the guidance of an expert scientist, they built a plateau and then let the water run through. They were asked to observe different processes visible, such as infiltration, seepage, erosion and deposition and to put their observations into words, which involved them mentally. Once the canyon had formed, they documented the sequence of erosion on a worksheet to record their findings.

The children had their hands and minds engaged in this sensory learning experience. Little side-experiments were carried out—for example islands were heaped up, only to discover the river constantly sweeps the sediment away again. That brought up the subject of artificial islands, like Palm Islands built in the Persian Gulf, and what problems might turn up there. Overall, geological processes became visible, tangible and fun, even for the smallest kids in this session of the Kids' Lab.

It is wonderful to see a university who is doing sophisticated research with an Em2 and Emflume1 also use the Em2 to educate young students—our researchers of the future.

Is 'gluten free' just another eating disorder?
Everyone from Oprah to Dr. Oz has touted the benefits of a gluten-free diet.
And while eliminating gluten from your meals was once a tactic strictly reserved for those with life-threatening Celiac disease, it's now being promoted as a viable option for those who may be "non-Celiac gluten sensitive" — those who suffer from digestive issues, endometriosis, eczema, anxiety and a host of other ailments.
But some medical experts claim that hopping on the gluten-free train could be an indicator of a bigger problem, such as an eating disorder.
Elimination diets
Elimination diets — those that restrict entire food groups — might also be a way for a disordered eater to gain more control over what he or she is consuming. In the case of ditching gluten, many people have adopted the diet after books like Wheat Belly asserted that extreme weight loss often follows the elimination of wheat and gluten-containing foods.
"People read these articles on gluten and think this might be the answers to the problems they may have," writes rheumatologist Dr. Mark Borigini in an article for Psychology Today.
In an article published in XO Jane, Annakeara Stinson of New York says that her gluten-free diet was veiling a place where she stored her "emotional baggage" and eating obsessions:
"From the outside, people just thought I had allergy issues, but really, it veiled all these other things that were going on ... I remember thinking if I were to let go and start eating wheat again that I would balloon."
Fad or fact?
Others, however, say that going gluten free can often solve a variety of health problems, leading to clearer skin, less brain "fog," fewer digestive upsets and reduced inflammation. Dr. William Davis, author of Wheat Belly, notes that about 30 percent of the U.S. population has some form of gluten sensitivity or intolerance but that most people aren't even aware of it. He writes:
I recognize that declaring wheat a malicious food is like declaring that Ronald Reagan was a Communist. It may seem absurd, even unpatriotic, to demote an iconic dietary staple to the status of public health hazard. But I will make the case that the world's most popular grain is also the world's most destructive dietary ingredient.
Davis asserts that the wheat of today is so genetically modified that it's nearly impossible for most human beings to digest it without adverse bodily reactions. These reactions, he says, result in vague symptoms that are often falsely attributed to other conditions.
Barbara Mendez, a nutritional consultant in New York, says that she recommends gluten-free diets to her patients to help remedy inflammatory-related conditions, which include things like IBS, allergies, high blood pressure or obesity. However, she notes the importance of watching out for disordered eaters and advises using a gluten-free diet as a cure, not a restrictive punishment.
"If there is a suspicion of disordered eating then it must be addressed before making any changes to a person's diet," Mendez notes.

Windows XP can be a great tool, but it is all too easy to trip over Windows XP's annoying traits more often than you leverage its productivity. Windows XP power-users troll online resources, documentation, and the expertise (or lucky finds) of friends for valuable tips and tricks--a keyboard shortcut here, an undocumented double-click there--to eliminate annoyances, save time, and take control of their Windows XP. But what if there was an easier way?This new book presents literally hundreds of problems and solutions, amazing power tips, cool tricks, and clever workarounds in one clearly organized, easy to use, and portable resource. Truly insightful and amusing, Windows XP Power Hound gives Windows XP users practical hints for everything from the desktop to Office programs to the registry, and includes documented (but little-known) tips as well as previously undocumented tricks. Windows XP Power Hound moves far beyond mere productivity and explores what's possible with Windows XP--including cool things you probably never thought of doing.An understanding of Windows XP basics will get the job done. But discovering the most useful I didn't know that! tips and shortcuts will make using Windows XP a far richer and less frustrating experience. The practical, concise format of Windows XP Power Hound makes it easy to dip into for a quick tip from time to time; the warm, jargon-free tone makes it easy to read cover to cover.Anyone who wants to smooth out Windows XP's speed bumps and get some serious speed to accelerate through the bottlenecks will find that even a handful of these useful, to-the-point tips will make Windows XP Power Hound worth its weight in chocolate.

Comments about oreilly Windows XP Power Hound:
Windows XP Power HoundA review by Alan MildwurmByte the Beast Windows XP Power Hound by Preston Gralla and published by Pogue Press and O'Reilly is really a fascinating read for anyone who uses Windows XP (Home or Professional). Many of us remember the promise of computers decades ago when the paperless office was conceptualized. There isn't a person who uses a computer who doesn't know that computers have leveled more forests than any disaster movie could imagine. Look in any bookstore and there are hundreds of titles on computers and computing. Regrettably many of those books are a waste of the resource in that they are poorly written or just a rehash of what is already in the manual. Not so Windows XP Power Hound. The premise of the book is to reveal some of Windows' powerful features which are hidden below the surface. The book is a terrific resource for both people very familiar with Windows and newbies afraid to explore and experiment. In my mind, what sets this book out from the rest is that in addition to uncovering many of Windows' own secrets, Gralla melds in tips using third party solutions. For example, while teaching how to convert and personalize the toolbar in Internet Explorer (chapter 7-24), he mentions the free program Irfanview (www.irfanview.com) as a means to convert graphic files to the required .bmp format. In security, there is a reference to the Gibson Research Site port checker- Shields Up: www.grc.com and a link to Microsoft's free Baseline Security Analyzer. This is one of those books that you can just crack open anywhere and begin reading hints and tricks. For those who are "random cha lenged," there is a terrific index and table of contents which neatly categorizes the 400+ ways to improve your Windows experience. The book is divided into 15 chapters covering everything from startup to the registry. There are also chapters on System Speedups, Crash Recovery, and Security as well as chapters on Networking, the Internet and Built-In Utilities. The discussion on e-mail and spam in chapter 8 is worth the price of the book. My favorite chapter deals with Office hints. I learned how to transfer my PowerPoint custom settings to various computers- useful and easy! With all O'Reilly books you can register the book on their website which will alert you to any updates. Check out the O'reilly website to read a sample chapter. (www.oreilly.com) For $24.95 this book is worth adding to your bookshelf.

The Texas Hill Country offers a wide range of activities for the holiday season and Texas Hill Country Reservations has the perfect place to stay during your visit. From intimate cabins with wood burning stoves and relaxing hot tubs to luxurious historic log cabins you're sure to find the perfect home for your holiday fun!
While in Wimberley enjoy casual shopping around Wimberley Square then relax with a warm cup of cocoa at any of several restaurants. Or opt for a more energetic shopping experience at The Premium Outlets in nearby San Marcos.
After dinner take the kids (or kids-at-heart) to the Trail of Lights at Emily Ann Theater. Now in it's 16th year the Trail of Lights features more than 100 exhibits, and offers live entertainment almost every night and a roaring Yule Log (where you can roast a marshmallow). New this year is "A Monster Carol" performed in the Burdine Johnson Studio Theatre: a goofy, fun, touching story of Franklin, Veronica and Wolfgang as they learn the true meaning of Christmas and friendship – based on Charles Dickens holiday favorite.
But Wimberley is not the only spot for holiday fun. Stroll through the light trail at Bindseil Park in nearby Blanco, experience a Cowboy Christmas at Enchanted Springs Ranch in Boerne, step back to 1849 at Ft. Croghan and experience the Fort's first Christmas, and Main Street in Fredericksburg is a shopper's paradise with more than 150 specialty shops. Take in a performance of Dicken's "A Christmas Carol" in Kerrville, walk amid the 2 MILLION lights reflecting on the sparkling waters of beautiful Lake Marble Falls, or horseback caroling down Main Street at the annual Christmas Singing in the Saddle in the Cowboy Capital of the World, Bandera.
Of course the Hill Country offers year-round activities. Foodies and gastrophiles can enjoy a leisurely tour of more than 35 wineries, taste top quality olive oils and balsamic vinegars at Texas Hill Country Olive Oil, or dine at Nao Restaurant at the Culinary Institute of America campus in nearby San Antonio. For the more adventurous traveler speed through the trees at Wimberly Zip Line, hike the ever-changing landscape at Pedernales Falls, or explore beautiful Hamilton Pool where the more adventurous can take a dip in the 48 degree water!

Esri's Jack Dangermond, speaking at the company's Federal GIS Conference, said that ArcGIS 10.1 "is our biggest release ever" where users will find enhancements in quality and a focus on usability to empower geospatial professionals across more organizations. Dangermond said the release cost the company $300 Million in development costs.
Dangermond stressed that the new release tries to broadening the reach of maps to every office; "maps and apps for everyone" he called it. As such, Esri announced a new product that works in Microsoft Office: Esri Maps Ribbon. The application takes data stored in a spreadsheet and creates a map on the fly. Another function of the ribbon is to export the map as a PowerPoint slide. The application will be in late March with final release in late 2012.
Esri also announced that the 10.1 release integrates with Microsoft Sharepoint, IBM Cognos and Saleforce.com.
Dangermond said that ArcGIS Server has made huge steps at 10.1 making it easier to load and faster. It run in a 64 bit environment. Esri is releasing a Linux version as well.
Esri's largest development team is dedicated to mobile GIS according to Dangermond, seizing on the opportunity for connecting a growing list of mobile workers and which he hope will further enable "how we do public service and public engagement."
What's coming in 10.1? Much has already been reported before, but at this event, many Esri showed many demos, cloaked in case studies from U.S. federal agencies as follows:
Map editing and visualization
- New features: Geotagged photos on ArcGIS maps.
- KML to Layer tool - enhanced in 10.1 - import KML directly into maps.
- Enhanced filtering and search by geography; results list has thumbnails.
- Managing and updating data - updating information from incoming reports; browse geodatabase to get an overview to see versions; locking mode; and object type.
- Editing: Editor Tracking tab in : identify tracking edits while working and changing or adding features.
- Dynamic Legends: show just the layers within the map extents displayed (today); for 10.1 the latest trick is that the symbols in legends are also dynamic and show on the symbol classes in the map extents.
- Enable Maps to Evolve with Time: using time slider to visualize historical iformation. For 10.1 use "time live" mode by restricting date reange to today and a refresh limit. So you can get just the live information and watch information come into the map as time unfolds.
- Map Package: for 10.1 - put additional files into the maps package; reports, timelines, etc. before sharing it out.
- Sharing with wider audience: share directly via Amazon Cloud.
Access Controls
- Enable ownership access control and feature access capabilities.
- ArcGIS Server Manager enhanced gets a facelift: utilities directory has a pre-configured printing service. No longer have to write custom code for apps.
- New web APIs.
Analytical Methods
- New in 10.1 - grouping analysis - find patterns that exist in data when using lots of data variables. Construct spatial weights based on distance. Groupings can simplify patterns, group them and identify the most or least pervasive variable that makes that grouping significant. It is especially useful when complex, multivariate data needs to be simplified for visualization to remove the "overcrowding" of thematiczed point data.
- Exploratory regression - test all the combination of variables that are consistently and statistically valid.
Runtime capability
- Custom application development - Esri is releasing ArcGIS runtime.
- Once runtime is on the computer; just copy over files that will be used in the project.
- Runtime app can scale to data needs.
- ArcGIS Runtime can run concurrently with older versions of ArcGIS.
New basemaps in the Community Basemap Gallery
- National Geographic Library - land and ocean maps.
- A light gray basemap to offer an option for greater contrast.
- OpenStreetMap is avialable.
- USGS Landsat imagery can be added as a service to ArcGIS Online.
Image Services
- Multitemporal and multispectral image display can now be viewed as a single library.
- 10.1 improves how ArcMap displays data. Image registration is done on the fly using image metadata.
- Full support for mensuration directly from imagery such as building height measurements. It can take measurements from building top to bottom or from top of building using building's shadow.
LiDAR data processing
- ArcGIS 10.1 Server can render LiDAR data into a 3D model.
Full Motion Video
- ArcGIS 10.1 finally has full motion video support, which is integrated with map data; flip through frame by frame. The new version comes complete with the ability to read metadata directly from UAV sensor.
What's beyond 10.1? 11? 10.2? Dangermond said he doesn't know but added that there will be more 3d and more real-time data management.

I took a few videos of my friend playing the piano, they are about 20 seconds long each. My friend asked if I can send them to him so he can show his friends what he can play, but I have no idea how to send them.
I tried attaching them to a text so they would send as a multimedia message, but it says "File size limit reached. File size too large, cannot attach file". How do I increase the file size limit?? He doesn't have an email, even if he did, he doesn't have a computer.
What annoys me is, my boyfriend took a video of him, they both have iPhones, and my boyfriend could send his without any issue!
I just want to send the video from my phone to his phone. Simple? Apparently not! Please help.

Dream of Sydney beach life? So do many as costs soar
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - The dream of living by the beach or harbor in Sydney is becoming an unattainable for many Australians with a third of Sydney's residents saying housing costs are now unaffordable.
More than one third of Sydney's residents say they need more than A$100,000 ($83,130) a year income to live comfortably in Australia's largest city which is famed for its city beaches like Bondi and magnificent harbor views.
Despite the rising cost of living in Sydney, the majority of residents still want to live in the city's most expensive beachside, harbor front or inner city suburbs, said a survey by the Sydney Business Chamber.
"Our poll shows that Sydney is still very much a harbor and beach city ... but it's a dream that is slipping away," said Patricia Forsythe, executive director of the chamber.
Housing affordability in Sydney continues to be a challenge with one in two, or 51 percent, of residents describing it as unaffordable or very unaffordable.
"The popularity of inner city living is putting upward pressure on the cost of living in Sydney and the price of housing," said Forsythe.
Rising mortgage repayments were the main factor, she said.
"The challenge for government is to deliver more affordable housing in these areas and also to make the outer suburbs more attractive through job creation and cutting commuting times to employment areas," said Forsythe.
Asked how they would rate Sydney's cost of living compared to 12 months ago, only two percent of those surveyed said it was affordable, compared to 60 percent who said less affordable. Continued...

Bruce Brubaker
It's rare to encounter musicians who are as devoted to teaching as they are to their performing careers -- or vise-versa. Pianist Bruce Brubaker manages to straddle the worlds of performance and pedagogy with equal measure. At home on international stages or in his New England Conservatory (NEC) studio where he's been the piano chair since 2005, Brubaker's intelligent and questing approach to the piano repertory has won high marks from audiences and students alike. In this August 9 performance at (Le) Poisson Rouge, Brubaker gives the New York premiere of a piece by Nico Muhly in addition to works by John Cage, Alvin Curran and Philip Glass.
Although some musicians these days tend to gravitate toward the New Music specialist camp or the traditionalist camp, Brubaker is passionate about both. In 2011, he is organizing performances at NEC of the complete piano music of Liszt yet he has also released several recordings of works by John Adams and William Duckworth and has premiered pieces by Glass, Muhly, Cage and Mark-Anthony Turnage. Brubaker is also an avid blogger and his blog PianoMorphosis can be found at Artsjournal.com.
Listen to the entire concert from (Le) Poisson Rouge above or excerpts below, and don't forget to poke around the Q2 Live Concert archive for more exciting live performances at your fingertips. You can access Q2 24/7 through our pop-out audio player or iTunes.
(L)PR's Technical Director is Richie Clarke and this concert was mixed by Damon Whittemore.
John Cage: Dream
Philip Glass: Two Etudes
Nico Muhly: Drones and Piano
Alvin Curran: Inner Cities II

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Opportunity for a free festival pass + some expenses, to help do a fanzine workshop at Beacons Festival, 12-14 August near Skipton, Yorkshire.
Hi - I've just confirmed I'm doing a fanzine-making workshop over 2 days at this festival, and it's a pass for two people. Plus some money for food/travel (but don't get too excited about that - you'll still probably end up slightly out of pocket, or at best even).
I'm circulating it here as well as to my Newcastle-based comic-making friends in case you might be the perfect 2nd person! You need to be friendly and good at engaging people in drawing/typing/contributing papery contributions to a zine that I will then send contributors after the festival. You also need to want to come to this festival and be up for meeting me to help set up etc..
I will be able to find a friend who wants to come, & will help me do my thing, but I thought it would be good to share it with the zine community in case you would actually offer more specifically zine-obsessed creativity!
I'm on oldglen at gmail.com
and am generally pretty easy to get on with if you don't mind the usual zinester proclivities for coffee, DIY politics and shambolic interludes.

You can ask, but you'll rarely get a valid answer. The stock answer is, "Oh, everybody here is good with curly hair." When they say that, run for the hills. It's code for, "Nobody here has a clue how to cut curly hair." The only correct answer IME is, "Oh, you want Stan (or other specific name)!".
Don't the ouidad specialists charge a lot? I have trouble paying for devacuts so I can't afford something even more expensive

Digital Converter Creates Sheet Music From Online Songs
Chordify is an online service that transcribes uploaded and streaming songs into sheet music.
Sheet music can be expensive and difficult to find, particularly for indie or non-mainstream artists. Particularly talented musicians may be able to transcribe the melody, but even then, it takes a lot of listening on repeat. Now, for enthusiastic guitarists at any level, there's a new service that breaks down YouTube, SoundCloud or other online audio into chords.
Created by Bas De Haas, Chordify is a free service that takes the audio from sites or an upload to break it down into chords. For the impatient, you can leave an email address for the service to send it to you later.
While the transcription process is not always perfect, it gives musicians a place to start and adjust accordingly. De Haas, who created Chordify for his Ph.D dissertation, explained why the transcribing process is tough to do by machine:
The problem with 'full polyphonic transcription' is that the computer doesn't know how many voices and instruments sound together and what the characteristics are of these instruments," says De Haas. "When you transcribe chords, we examine the mixture as a whole and examine what the prominent frequencies are in the spectrum.
First the audio is stripped into separate parts, with HarmTrace, a system for analyzing the harmony of music, developed by De Haas and partner Jose Pedro Magalhaes. Then the chords are chosen to best fit the audio and after preparing the chords, can be followed along with the song, allowing even the most novice guitarist to rock out to their favorite music.

Drinking and driving have never been a good combination - even for the ambitious, but this makes an odd kind of sense...
NDrive has launch the first (afaik) dedicated satellite navigation unit to feature an integrated breathalyzer, the 'G400'.
The setup is fairly scientific too with a calibration system employed to analyse the surrounding atmosphere before letting you coat it with your beer breath (though if you're that far gone you'll have probably sprayed it with salvia a number of times by that point and tossed it out the window in frustration).
That aside, once calibrated just breathe gently into a small sensor located on the left edge (note: if telling left from right is proving difficult before you take the test don't even bother).
Sadly, little else is known about the G400 though I suspect it will feature the usual array of POIs, a speed camera database, TMC and European mapping. A low €200 RRP means we'll leave Bluetooth and multimedia playback out to be safe.
No word on when it'll arrive or whether it refuses to work if you fail the test (or if a 'drunk mode' exists which cuts out major roads), but if this is something you think you could use regularly then one tip: take more cabs...

Stopped back by again this afternoon to see how things went and got a couple more pictures.
