RIM's Tablet Night Terrors
Posted by Ted Schadler on September 16, 2011

Picture this. There's a hot new market adjacent to one you've dominated for years. You have the design team, engineering staff, retail distribution, and corporate buyer relations to build and sell that adjacent product. (Okay, so you don't have all the software skills or platforms you need, but you can buy those, right?)
Wouldn't you go for it? I mean, bet the business on it? Sure you would.
Now picture this. You ship a v0.7 tablet and call it done. You ship 500,000 units to corporate resellers and consumer retailers. And you talk about the tablet ecosystem that you have and are building. Then, just one quarter later, you ship 200,000 units to your channel. (Remember that Apple sold, not shipped, sold, 9.25 million iPads in the same period.)
Wouldn't that give you night terrors?
Here's what RIM needs to do to wake up and face reality:
- Scale back expectations and promises and revert to its natural market: highly secure, regulated, and locked down industries. Defense comes to mind. This will reset expectations and get the media bull's-eye off your back.
- Pull out all the stops to get QNX secured, BES-controlled, and deployed on a new generation of touchscreen phones. This will plug your product holes.
- Get the Android compatibility down cold. Don't replicate that ecosystem of content and apps. Embrace it. This will let you appeal to the consumer inside every employee.
- Make BES the center of your commercial universe. Deliver more connectors to SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, the cloud, and beyond that Apple or Google. This will attract corporate developers and buyers.
With those steps in motion, the night terrors will subside and a more rational, though smaller, company will emerge into the light of 2012.
Android compatibility may not be an option
Comment from David Wihl on Fri, 09/16/2011 - 10:12
It's not clear to me that RIM actually has item 3 "embrace Android compatibility" as a choice. I believe the Google App store is a proprietary piece of Android. As an ISV, the first step is to actually finish the PlayBook, esp. w.r.t. Developer SDKs. Developing on PlayBook is a horror show. At least make it simple to port existing BlackBerry apps to the PlayBook. Instead, RIM has abandoned their ISVs, making years of investment valueless. This has p.o.'ed a lot of RIM ISVs (including us). The current development platform for PlayBook has three different environments, none of which allow re-use of existing BlackBerry code. Mortal mistake.
Does that approach just buy RIM time?
Comment from Wayne Pales on Mon, 09/19/2011 - 00:10
I am wondering if this approach just buys RIM some time as opposed to being a sustainable strategy? In many cases the more consumer-focused platforms of iOS and Android already meet the security requirements of many organizations and along with a good Mobile Device Management platform they will continue to close the gap with RIM which means the pool just keeps shrinking. Unless RIM can develop an EcoSystem that grabs the attention of consumers and developers then they are on limited time and potentially should consider what Nokia has had to do and get out of the SmartPhone OS space and focus on devices. I understand they may have a foothold in the Government and Military environments for some years to come, but I'm not convinced having a strategy where you just focus on a shrinking market segment is a sustainable one.

Find your application.
Step 2: For Music, Theatre, Dance, Studio Art and Film and Media Arts BFA applicants
All music, theatre, dance, studio art and film B.F.A. applicants are considered "Dual Admit" students, which means they must apply to and be accepted by both SMU and the Meadows School of the Arts. In addition to their SMU application, "dual admission" students must also audition or submit a portfolio to Meadows.
Test Optional Policy for Dual Admit Applicants to SMU Meadows School of the Arts:
An SAT or ACT score report is not required for admission consideration from applicants who are seeking admission to Dual Admit programs in the Meadows School of the Arts [Music, Theatre, Dance, Art, Film-BFA]. Applicants should only submit an SAT or ACT score report for academic merit scholarship consideration. The recommended combined score to be considered for academic merit scholarships is 1320 on the old SAT (critical reading and math sections only), 1380 on the new SAT, or 29 on the ACT.
Note that students who do not submit test scores will be considered only for artistic scholarship and need-based aid; they will not be considered for scholarships based on academic merit.
Students who do not submit test scores should list their Meadows major first on their application for admission. Students not admitted to Meadows via their portfolio or audition, but who still wish to be considered for admission to SMU, will be required to submit test scores at that time.
Find out more about admissions, auditions and portfolio requirements for:
The Advertising, Art History, Corporate Communication and Public Affairs, Creative Computation, Journalism and Film and Media Arts B.A. programs are not dual-admission programs. Students intending to enter these programs need only apply to SMU and indicate their areas of interest on the application form.
Did you know that every first-year student applying to SMU is automatically considered for academic scholarship upon application, with no additional paperwork necessary?*
SMU and Meadows School of the Arts offers several variations of academic and artistic-merit scholarships.
See more about Scholarships and Financial aid.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament concluded on Tuesday in La Quinta, Calif., thus cementing the 2014 Web.com Tour status of the 152-man field. Former UAB men's golfers Zack Sucher and Garrett Osborn each will participate on the Web.com Tour in the upcoming 2014 season.
Sucher finished in a tie for 42nd place after firing a 420 (-12) for the six-round qualifying tournament. The Mobile, Ala. native is exempt until the second reshuffle of the 2014 Web.com Tour season, which occurs after the eighth event.
Osborn finished four strokes behind Sucher, good enough for a tie for 73rd place. The Birmingham native is exempt until the first reshuffle, which will take place after the fourth tournament of the year.
The Web.com Tour season gets underway Feb. 6-9 at the Panama Claro Championship in Panama City, Panama. Sucher and Osborn are looking to play their way onto the PGA Tour, joining former Blazers Graeme McDowell and Will Wilcox.

555 bbc dart build cam choice
I am building my dart 555 all forged internals bbc with dart pro 1 CNC 355cc heads. Still debating whether or not i am going to run the dart big chief or single plane intake with a 1050 dominator. The car it is going in will be mostly a street car and will go down the track here and there. It will have a th400 behind it not sure what stall yet. I have a cam in mind its a Lunati 680 lift solid roller cam 255/263 @.050. What do you guys think? Any advice or suggestions?
We're having a tough time keeping up with you, the first motor you bought was a 400 wanting 500 to 550 hp, then abandoned it for a 468 because of the machine work to clearance a 496, that was to be mostly a strip car with occasional Sunday street drive, and "honestly can't afford a Dart M Block", now you've abandoned that and actually bought a Dart 555 short block with major CNC heads and intake that will be "mainly a street car with occasional trips to the track"?
That was all in the space of four weeks. In order to help you with the build, tell us, is the 555 your final, real build? And will it be primarily street or strip?? You say you're no longer wanting 700 hp, what is your goal? I would think your family, hot rodding brothers, dad being a 496 guy and the uncle with a 2k hp 668 BBC, would be able to help a lot as well.
400 block i bought was trashed according to machine shop. Decided to go with a 454 but couldnt find a decent 4 bolt 2p rms short block. After talking to machine shop and several people they said with the money you would pay for the bare block you want with all the internals and then all the machine work you might as well buy a dart short block with more cubic inches and better quality block. So i went ahead and bought the 555 short block. Now just trying to decide the set up. ive decided on the heads, intake, carb etc but i was just trying to get advice on the cam. Uncle says the 680 lift solid roller is a good match but dad says it might be a little much so just wanted to see what you guys thought. Yes it will be a street and strip car. I wanted the cam a little more on the street side of things.
Dart 555
I remember you too. I suggested for you to buy a dart short block. What is your compression ratio? That's alot of duration, probably going to need alot of compression. Are those 355 dart heads 11* heads? If not the big chief intake will not work. Sure seems like this isn't being built for the street!
CNC pro 1 355cc intake 121cc combustion chamber 2.300/1.880 in/ex valves with 1.625 dual springs max lift .800. Motor has 10.5:1 cr I think the .680 lift is a good match for my set up.
that Lunati cam is what i suggested for ya, in a 496 bbc its an awsome cam street/strip.. so your 555bbc that cam will act a bit more milder because of the cubic inches are bigger but i think its a good choice.. becarefull not to go to big on the heads, 320-345 i think is pretty suficiant... best to get a smaller head and make it flow like a bigger one... thats how you make the HP on street/strip combo.. just my thoughts
Do you guys think i should get the dart CNC pro 1 335cc intake instead of the 355cc? Or should i get a little bit bigger cam with the 355's?
It would be more fun on the street with the 335 and have better street manners.
Just a thought.
So you guys think the 335's with the lunati 680 lift cam is a good combo?
leave the big Chef heads for the drag strip only!! they will suck for street manners
Let's see some pics, what's this going in? 454's are all over the place and converting a 2 bolt to 4 is a hella lot cheeper than the route your on. Your going to need another 4-6 grand just for trans, rearend and misc parts.

Ripoff Report
Texas Irons2219 Westlake Drive Austin, Texas USA
Texas Irons --Company sent personalized items that were incorrect and made no sense. Now refuses to fix their mistake nor assumes liablity for incorrect instructions on the website order form. Blames customer! Austin Texas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I ordered some beer mugs for my father for Christmas, Texas Irons was quick to get my order to me however the order is wrong. On the order form for the mugs it plainly asked for name (not name as you would like it to appear, I put in my dads name. My dads name is Andy. I put in Andy. When I got the mugs it reads "Andy Irish Pub" The picture of the mugs I ordered say "Scanlan's Irish pub" meaning the name would have been Scanlan. Had the order form read Name as you would like it to appear I would have certainly put Andy's. It makes no sense to NOT put the 's. I contacted the company about it via email and Brittany let me know they did nothing wrong and filled the order as the order form stated. I called and Brittany answered, again stating that they did nothing wrong and said that if it included the plural form it would have said so on the website. Well it didn't say either way. I am in the business of personalizing peoples items as I own an embroidery business, if something didn't make sense to me on an order I would surely follow up with my customer. I am disheartend because I now have to scramble to find a way to either fix this or find another heartfelt gift 4 days before Christmas.

There are unconfirmed reports that Senator Lindsay Graham has been awarded the Libyan medal for ensuring the name of Libya appears each day and night on Fox News and the daily media. Lindsay is upset because, despite day after day of having officials discuss their knowledge of the attack, Lindsay is not satisfied. He wants "more information." He wants to see drone photos, he wants to read all email sent from Africa to the State Department. He is upset that Obama "outsourced our security in Libya to a non-existent Libyan government."
As I recall, Senator Graham and his buddy Senator John McCain were complaint at failure of the Obama administration to assist the "non-existent Libyan rebel government." Graham simply can not halt his fight for honesty about deaths of Americans. If he is so concerned, how about an inquiry about how and why 5,000 Americans died in Iraq and Afghanistan. And, he is entitled to read all emails read by President Bush! Go for it, Lindsay!

Talk:Ball Four
From Wikiquote
Attribution, better source[edit]
If this qoute is from the short-lived television series, it was only loosely based on Jim Bouton's famous (notorious) book Ball Four. It would be better to set up an author page and quote directly from the book. ~ Ningauble 14:14, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, we now got an administration that's serious about:
- delivering what taxpayers pay for
- letting us know what's going on
- listening to citizens and following up
- getting stuff done
A lot of that results from getting serious private sector people involved to learn from successful businesses.
More progress announced regarding that, including getting rid of internal red tape, and opening up.
Here's a list of all the initiatives going on: Fact Sheet: Open Government Flagship Initiatives
That's the bottom line, and I couldn't be more swamped, so I'll defer to the people who explain some of the new stuff better:

Maintenance and Security
With Windows 7, Microsoft has taken another look at the controls end-users need to handle basic maintenance and security, and at making those controls simpler to understand, more powerful and more accessible. The most important change here is the move from Vista's Security Centre and assorted maintenance control panels to a unified Windows 7 Action Center; a one stop shop where security and system maintenance issues can be addressed.
The Action Center is divided into two main sections - Security and Maintenance - with alerts and active issues listed at a glance beneath the relevant heading, and an arrow button expanding the view to take you through the available options in depth. Whereas the old Security Centre gave you an at-a-glance report of the status of your Firewall, Updates and Malware Protection, whether you needed it or not, Action Center doesn't push anything at you unless it's something you need to deal with right now.
It's also the Action Centre that sends up the Notifications that appear above the system tray when Windows encounters a problem. If you find these an annoyance, the 'Change Action Centre Settings' link on the left allows you to choose when you want to be notified, and when you don't.
Even better news awaits those of us who hated Vista's annoying User Account Control. We all know UAC is a good idea, but does it really have to be so obtrusive? Apparently not. Expand the Security section, click 'Change Settings' under User Account Control, and you can move the slider between Maximum Security (Always Notify) and Minimum Irritation (Never Notify). Generally speaking, UAC seems to pop up less often than it did with Vista on either of the middle settings, and the first from bottom option turns off UAC's stress-inducing screen dimming effect to boot.
The Action Centre also makes Windows 7's troubleshooting options easier to get hold of, allowing you to configure whether Windows actively checks for routine maintenance issues, or select the Troubleshooting or System Restore wizards should the introduction of new hardware or new software screw things up royally.
On the left you'll also see a link for Windows Update. Now, we all get annoyed with Windows Update's rather nanny-ish approach, but it plays a vital role in keeping your system secure and up to date. What's more, Windows 7 now watches for updated hardware drivers too, making it much, much easier to keep your PC running at optimal speed and stability without having to use a third-party driver update app or perform your own manual updates.

I'm still learning the ropes in AS 2 but I'm just wondering is AS 3 easier to use overall? Ignoring the fact that most customers might prefer as 2 of course :))
AS 3 .0 is powerful. I am learning…
Seems to me that AS3 syntax is more strict and detail oriented. But that's great for me, so I like it more.
AS3 all the way.
In the beginning AS3 can be a little confusing, because a few things have changed the the syntaxes are slightly different.
That being said, once you learn how things work in AS3 you'll find it much easier than their AS2 counterparts. Namely working with XML . So much easier in AS3 that I find myself using it as my sole data object in all my a lot of my classes.
Besides AS3 is faster than AS2 .. and that was enough for me to learn.
AS3 is far superior. There's still a huge market, however, for AS2 – so theres a little bit of time to get used to AS3 but no doubt you'll eventually get left behind if you don't make the transition.
I would say if you are just learning AS2 switch now to AS3 . It will pay off in the long run.
The funny thing is that… the clients wants projects in actionscript 2.0 to behave like as3.0 ones…
"- I want 3d stuff like this site, and this many stuff on screen, and .. and… and as2.0 will be good"
They don't know shift about programming
For the moment i can do anything i want whit As2 , and my clients are happy i will wait a little more to learn As3 .
Well AS2 might be a little easier to learn. But it is sloppy compared to AS3 . If you have to start from the begining, it would be a great idea to start with AS3 .
Most importantly, your flash animations will run faster if you use AS3 . The AS3 runtime engine is rumored to be almost 10 times as fast as the old AS2 and AS1 runtime engine.
Lol, i'm quite able to write and understand almost all AS2 code right now. Should i transfer to AS3 now, or should I program just a few more files in AS2 ?
I'm Still a bit hooked to AS2 though. I think AS3 is a little to easy. Like MP3 players. I saw an AS2 code that was 400 lines long or so, but AS3 can do it in under 20 lines with their new mp3player(); function of whatever. I doubt if there will be any room for custom ideas that go beyond mp3players and photogalleries.


text: A Maine lawmaker barred from the State House after he was charged with pulling a loaded gun on a stranger in a Waterville parking has resigned. The lawyer for Republican Rep. Frederick Wintle of Garland disclosed the resignation Tuesday at a hearing in Kennebec County Superior Court. Just last month, Wintle's attorney Leonard Sharon said he was seeking a resolution that would get treatment for Wintle and allow him to continue to serve in the Legislature. But Sharon said Tuesday that Wintle resigned in the past week or two. Tuesday's hearing focused on a deal under which Wintle would plead guilty to a felony, with the charge later being reduced to a misdemeanor if he meets certain conditions. There was no resolution of that deferral process because objections were raised. (AP)

TBS will air MLB's new wild card games while two TBS Division Series games in each of the 2012 and 2013 playoffs will shift to MLB Network.
One result: Access to some TV playoff action won't be available to about 45 million U.S. households -- including some home-team households.
There will be two wild card games each season, in which wild-card teams from each league will play each other with the loser eliminated from the postseason.
For TBS, which had aired all first-round MLB playoff games, to give up playoff games means some fans will be left out in the cold: MLB Net reaches only about 69 million of the USA's 114 million households -- and MLBN's playoff TV games won't be broadcast over-the-air in teams' home TV markets.

Todd Millar is the author of two highly acclaimed books. He wrote the groundbreaking bestseller Boardroom to Base Camp (Blooming Twig) that draws parallels between the life and leadership lessons learned from his role in the $2.6 billion dollar Bain Capital transaction and his life changing climb to Mount Everest Base Camp. Millar also penned literally a game-changing book on the problems of adult bullying, children's safety, and overall respect in Canada's minor hockey league called Moron – Behind The Scenes Story Of Minor Hockey (Blooming Twig).
Millar is currently working on his next title, tentatively entitled "TED (Total Ego Domination): Keeping TED Out of Your Life and Work". The book is slated for release with Blooming Twig (New York) in late 2014.
Boardroom to Base Camp is the bestselling story of Todd Millar — climbing to the top, both in business and in life. Millar was instrumentally involved with Bain Capital's acquisition of Canadian SuperPages for $1.9 Billion Dollars and in less than one year, selling off the assets for $2.6 Billion Dollars. In other words, he made his company $700 Million within a period of several months. Millar suddenly found himself on top of the world.
Months later, Todd Millar bid on a trip that would again change his life forever. He and his son, T.J., were given the opportunity to climb to Base...more
MORON: The Behind the Scenes Story of Minor Hockey is the bestselling book that (in part) led to the ban of body checking in peewee hockey in Canada. (See here for more information: http://bit.ly/check-ban) The book tackles issues such as conduct unbecoming of adults, body checking, bullying, elite hockey programs, the decline in enrolment and perhaps most importantly, how there's still hope to turn the game around for kids.
Here is a brief excerpt, where Millar experiences moronic behavior first hand: "... As I began to walk more...more

I think you will find this recent thread interesting:
I have been playing with BT3 for a couple of months now and really enjoy it, it has become really a Hobie for myself. But I want to make a change in career field towards pen-testing or some other IDS related job. Right now I am just a "help desk," person for a non-profit organization. I able to play around with BT while on the job, (nothing dangerous...we learned the hard way..). But this is something I want to continuously do. My degree is in network security, which I am working on the bach's right now. So my question is what type of choices should I make in order to complete my goal to become a Pen-tester or other related jobs (thats another question too,.....what other jobs are their that relate to pentesters?)
So do I need certification? What title should I look for entrt positions? What other programs or IDS do I need to learn? Recommended books, besides Syngress Pentester Book. And any other helpful advice is appercaited.
Thanks Kilo
I think you will find this recent thread interesting:
-Monkeys are like nature's humans.
This is a topic that has been covered many times in these forums.
Search and you shall find.
I forgot, about checking this forum......my bad
Tron thanks, my bad again for not checking the forum.
I found these books to be very helpful in learning pentesting also. I was originally looking for this post.
I also would suggest learning how to program in several languages including many scripting languages. IE: C/C++, Java, Python, Perl, Bash Scripting.
Knowing some Assembly doesnt hurt either.
If you have just started I would say learning linux is step 1 and a very important step. There are many posts about this topic since many newbies decide that they can just jump right into BT without any prior linux experience, BT is not for newbies. I found slackbook to be very helpful here.
Also be prepared for the time that you will be investing in learning penetration testing.
Check this thread from last week:
Edit: Doh...looks like someone already point out that link.....
As always knowing the law applicable to the thing you're interested in is always a good thing as well, here's something I posted in another thread:
IronGeek has a good summary of some US & State laws here:
There's a brief discussion about some Canadian law here:
(Canadian Criminal Code, Bill C-46, Sections: 326, 342, 430, etc)
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
Hack to learn, or ask and expect a smart ass answer from someone. That is the motto

Family, friends struggle to understand why Robin Williams hanged himself
Photo Credit: Getty
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (AP) — Although police have now revealed how Robin Williams committed suicide, the Oscar-winning actor's fans, friends and even family continue to struggle to understand why someone who spread so much joy throughout the world could find so little in his own life that he decided to stop living.
Williams, who made no secret of his decades-long struggles with depression and substance abuse, killed himself by fashioning a noose out of a belt and hanging himself, authorities said Tuesday.
The frenetic funnyman who starred in such films as "Mrs. Doubtfire," ''Good Will Hunting" and "Good Morning, Vietnam," had announced only last month that he was re-entering a 12-step program to get his life back on track after months of nonstop work. His publicist confirmed after he died that he had been suffering in recent weeks from a serious case of depression.
Still, even family members were caught off-guard when his body was found in his San Francisco Bay Area home Monday morning.
"I'll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay," his 25-year-old daughter, Zelda Williams, said in a poignant statement released Tuesday.
"He was always warm, even in his darkest moments," she noted, adding she last saw her father when he recently celebrated his 63rd birthday. It was a day, Williams recalled, that she and her two brothers spent "sharing gifts and laughter" with their father.
Marin County Sheriff's Lt. Keith Boyd said Williams was last seen alive by his wife, Susan Schneider, who went to bed around 10 p.m. Sunday. She awoke the next morning and left the couple's Tiburon home, thinking he was asleep somewhere else in the house.
When he didn't answer a knock on the door a short time later, his personal assistant found him dead in a bedroom. A pocketknife was nearby and Williams also had superficial cuts on his wrists.
Boyd said all evidence indicates the actor committed suicide by hanging himself. A final ruling will be announced after toxicology reports and interviews with witnesses are complete.
The lieutenant declined to say if a suicide note was found.

The present invention relates to gas-fueled portable soldering iron heaters.
In the construction industry, a sheet metal worker often uses a device for heating a soldering iron, which can easily be carried up a ladder and across a rooftop, hoisted up with a rope (prior to activating the heating element), or handed to or from a coworker. Preferably, such a device should have storage for tools and supplies needed in soldering, require little setup time, and be transportable with tools and supplies in place to eliminate extra trips up and down a ladder or to and fro across a rooftop. Past solutions had used a torch attached to a large propane tank that was heavy and bulky, or liquid fuels that were dangerous. A separate toolbox or bucket was used for carrying tools and supplies.
Prior art shows a number of devices for heating a soldering iron at a residential or commercial construction site, for example atop a roof, as is needed for soldering sheet metal. For portability, some of these devices employ a disposable or refillable propane canister, that is smaller than the type commonly used for barbecue grills. A torch, for heating the soldering iron, is attached to and receives gas from the propane canister. A heating flame, from atmospheric combustion of the propane, forms at the flame end of the torch. Both flame and flame end of the torch are typically partially or fully enclosed in an oven, the oven being constructed of metal with inside insulation. In the various devices, the propane canister may be fully enclosed and adjacent to or beneath the oven, or held in a sleeve that is attached as part of the device, or the canister may reside external to the apparatus, optionally enclosed in a removable sleeve. The soldering iron, the tip of which is being heated by the flame, may rest with its tip inside the heating oven, handle protruding partially or fully outside of the device so that it may be gripped and removed by the worker and with its shaft resting on a horizontal plate with side plates or a pair of vertically mounted plates with or without notches. One device, seen in U.S. Pat. No. 1,680,776 to Fahlberg, includes a storage compartment below the soldering iron rest area, for supplies. Another device, seen in U.S. Pat. No. 4,424,795 to Plessner, has a compartment for storing a soldering iron and a soldering material as well as an open rectangular container used to hold soldering flux.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a portable soldering system that includes a caddy collar, a bucket, a torch and a gas canister. The gas canister protrudes from the bucket through a seating opening in the side wall of the bucket. A caddy collar sits atop the rim of the bucket. A torch mount connects to the torch, positioning the torch and the gas canister. The gas receiving end of the torch connects to the gas canister. A soldering iron can be seated in a cradle in the caddy collar. When the torch and gas canister are so positioned, and the soldering iron is seated in the cradle, the flame end of the torch is near to and can heat the tip of the soldering iron.
In one preferred embodiment, the cradle is a recess in the caddy collar for seating the handle of the soldering iron. The cradle may also include a cradle plate with a slot for holding the tip of the soldering iron.
In another preferred embodiment, the torch mount is a torch upper plate attached to the caddy collar. The flame end of the torch extends through a torch opening in the torch mount. The torch mount may also include a torch lower plate attached to the caddy collar. The gas receiving end of the torch extends through a connection opening in the torch lower plate.
Also in the preferred embodiment, the caddy collar has a recess for holding soldering supplies.
The portable soldering system may also include an access opening through the side wall of the bucket, allowing the user to access the torch adjustment valve.
Moreover, there may be structural features for allowing a variety of materials and supplies to be placed in and carried with the soldering system, such as one or a combination of brackets, attached or removable containers, and a middle plate with a middle plate opening.
In further preferred embodiments, there is a pivoting handle on the bucket or a clip attached to the bucket, so that the soldering system may be transported easily.
An advantage of the present invention is that the torch, torch adjustment valve and gas receiving end connected to the gas canister are all protected from damage by being within the apparatus, while the gas canister, nested in the seating opening, protrudes outside of the bucket and is thus exposed to ambient air and is less susceptible to overheating.
A further advantage of the invention is that a bucket, being part of the apparatus, is open at the top and of large volume, allowing more or larger tools and supplies to be carried than would be possible in a smaller or enclosed compartment.
The preferred embodiment of the portable soldering system is shown in
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
The gas receiving end 409 of the torch 413 connects to the gas canister 139 in a manner well-known in the arts, for example by threads on the gas canister 139 engaging corresponding threads on the gas receiving end 409 of the torch 413.
In one embodiment, as shown in
As best shown in
Also shown in
Prior to using the soldering system 100 for heating a soldering iron 147, the torch 413 must first be installed as part of the system, followed by the gas canister 139. To install the torch 413, a worker pushes the flame end 119 of the torch 413 upwardly through the torch opening 415 in the torch upper plate 121. With the torch adjustment valve 405 closed and facing the access opening 509, the gas receiving end 409 of the torch 413 is pushed through the connection opening 411 of the torch lower plate 407. A filled gas canister 139 is pushed through the seating opening 213 and connected to the gas receiving end 409 of the torch 413. It should be verified that the torch 413 and gas canister 139 are held securely in the apparatus, with the gas canister 139 partially protruding from the bucket 103 through the seating opening 213, and that the connection of the torch 413 and gas canister 139 is free from gas leakage. Following verification, tools, containers and soldering supplies may be placed in the bucket. Brackets 115, 302, 305, 515 and attached or removable containers 113, 125, 123 can help secure supplies or tools. Soldering materials may be put in recesses 137, 145 in the caddy collar 101. One or more brushes may be placed with the handle down through the middle plate opening 503, 505 or in a container 113, the bottom of which is pushed down through the middle plate opening. Other tools or supplies may be carried likewise.
The soldering system may then be transported with all supplies in place, by lifting the handle 129 or attaching the clip to the belt of a worker. After arranging tools and materials as needed at the job site, and when ready to heat a soldering iron 147, the worker may open the torch adjustment valve 405 and ignite the torch 413 with a suitable ignition device such as a spark producing tool or a match. A soldering iron 147 may then be placed with the soldering iron handle 143 resting in the handle recess 149 and the soldering iron tip 111 resting in and projecting past the soldering iron cradle plate 105, so that the soldering iron tip 111 is heated by the torch flame. The torch flame may be adjusted or extinguished by the worker reaching through the torch valve access opening 509 and adjusting or closing the torch adjustment valve 405.

Singapore Experienced Through Real-Time Data
Does 'Live Singapore!' and other urban data projects help us understand our cities better?
MIT's SENSEable City Lab has recently created a project that takes the real time data of the movement of Singapore and makes it accessible to people for a variety of purposes:
LIVE Singapore! provides people with access to a range of useful real-time information about their city by developing an open platform for the collection, elaboration and distribution of real-time data that reflect urban activity. Giving people visual and tangible access to real-time information about their city enables them to take their decisions more in sync with their environment, with what is actually happening around them.
This project is not dissimilar to the recent app contest held by the city of New York, which asked app developers to use the city's data reservoirs from 30 different organization to help its citizen's experience of the city.
While it would appear that this is the beginning of interplay between local government data and private sector uses, the question is how will governments use this information for policy development?

Just when I thought I had knitting needle size designations figured out, I get even more confused by crochet hooks!
I'm starting an afghan, from a sea-shell pattern I found. It says use worsted wool and "bone crochet hook No. 3 or 4". I found this chart, so I'm guessing it is the U.K. designation which means 6.5 or 6.0 mm. Does that sound right?
It looks reasonable to me. I'm not too concerned about the gauge, but I don't want it to be way off.
Thanks for any help!
What a confusing chart! As long as you use the mm size designated you can't go wrong.
The chart here http://www.purplekittyyarns.com/info/crochet-hook-conversion.html should be more helpful.
Thanks for the chart.
The pattern doesn't give a size in mm, all it says is "bone crochet hook No. 3 or 4". So would that most likely be a UK 3 or 4 (6.5 or 6.0 mm) or a US 3 or 4 (3.25 or 3.5 mm)?
I'm a total beginner, so I have no idea what would be typical for an afghan with worsted weight yarn.
If your doing an afghan then you want the 6-6.5 mm hooks. think of it this way a 6 mm knitting needle is a US 10 and 6mm crochet hook is J-US 10 also. Plus if you are using worsted weight yarn you want the 6 mm hook not the 3.5mm hook because it would be too small.
Thanks, that makes sense. I started with the 6 mm hook and it looks like it's working well.
According to the chart you found you are correct. In the US it would be a D or E size hook. I looked at the picture and the pattern and the size of the hook while though small is correct. The shells formed are small and not large. You could go up a hook size if you want the shells to be bigger. Otherwise hook with US , D or E, which is 3.25 mm or 3.5 mm. >> I does look since it is an old pattern that back then the women didn't have the sizes in hook selection that we have now and while we would use a larger hook than they did then they made do with what they had.
Thanks mathwizard. I made a small swatch with a 3.5 mm hook, and the shells did come out smaller. But I like the result better with the 6 mm hook, so that's what I'll continue to use.

text: My iBook's logic board just died yesterday. Well, it's acutally still living (I can see the screen sometimes, but tapping the left or right wrist pad will cause the screen to flicker and freeze.) It's the first time I've had an Apple product go sour on me, and I'm not happy at all (Actually, my iPod head phones died, and an AC adapter also died, but those were minor compared to this.) Anyway, I've got in in FireWire target disk mode to get all my junk off it, is there anything else I should/could do before sending it off to Apple for repair? Re the iTMS, I live in Japan so I don't have to worry about de-authorizing anything. I'm wondering if they're gonna dig through my drive, or reformat it or what. Thanks for any advice. Oh yeah, as a side note: how many other people here have had to have their logic boards replaced? How many times? Thanks again!

Re: LessEqual vs Inequality, was ..Re: Replacement Rule with Sqrt in denominator
Well, you have worn me out, so basically I quit. Not that I agree with
much. Your long post consist of a mixture of the obvious, which you seem
to believe is a revelation and other things that reveal your own
ignorance of Mathematica and even certain areas of algorithmic algebra.
I will point out just one:
> You are asserting that "Refine" can be used. Thus Refine, in the
computer algebra terminology, is
> a Zero Equivalence algorithm. (or a Logical Tautology algorithm, in
some sense).
Not at all. Refine does not deal with logical tautologies or booleans.
In fact Mathematica has EquivalentQ and Tautology for this purpose:
Equivalent[a && (b || c), a && b || a && c] // TautologyQ
What Refine does (Like Simplify and FullSimplify) is to perform
simplifications of what are called first order formulas in the language
of real fields with parameters in the real numbers. For example
x^2>y>z+1 is such a formula and so is
z<y-1<x^2-1. But (x^2>y>z+1) - (z<y-1<x^2-1) is not a forumla but a
meaningless construct, a kind of accidental consequence of the way
Mathematica language is constructed. It does not make sense to write
Simplify[x^2>y>z+1 - z<y-1<x^2-1]; even when this sort of thing seems to
work sometimes, it is by accident (it will work when the two expressions
that you are subtracting evaluate to the same thing but not otherwise
since Mathematica will not assign any meaning to the difference. On the
other hand
Refine[x^2 > y > z, z - 1 < y - 1 < x^2 - 1] &&
Refine[z - 1 < y - 1 < x^2 - 1, x^2 > y > z]
but it is certainly not a "logical tautology" algorithm. It belongs to
the same "field" as the Tarski-Seidneberg Theorem, Quantifier
Elimination, Cylindirical ALgebraic Decomposition etc. I am not sure if
this is "computer science" but there are advantages to an education that
includes such things which apparently you have not benefitted from.

Quick GuideNail Color and Texture: What Nails Say About Your Health
What other conditions can be mistaken for fungal nails?
Here are some other conditions you may have instead of fungal nails:
- Lines and ridges: These are common and may be considered normal. They may worsen during pregnancy. A large groove down the center of the nail can be caused by nail biting. Some people may develop these changes following chemotherapy.
- Senile nails: As you age, the nails become brittle and develop ridges and separation of the nail layers at the end of the nail. To avoid this, try to clean solutions and don't soak the nails in water.
- Whitish or yellowish nails can occur due to onycholysis. This means separation of the nail from the nail bed. The color you see is air beneath the nail. The treatment is to trim the nail short, don't clean under it, polish if you want to hide the color, and wait two to three months. Persistent onycholysis can make the nails susceptible to fungal infection.
- Red or black nails due to a hematoma, or blood under the nail, usually occur from trauma (like whacking yourself on the thumb with a hammer). The discolored area will grow out with the nail and be trimmed off as you trim your nails. If you have a black spot under your nail that was not caused by trauma, you may want to see a dermatologist or a podiatrist if it involves a toenail to make sure it is not melanoma (a type of skin cancer associated with pigmented cells). A simple biopsy can rule out malignancy (cancer).
- Green nails can be caused by Pseudomonas bacteria, which grow under a nail that has partially separated from the nail bed. This infection may cause a foul odor of the nails. The treatment is to trim the nail short every four weeks, don't clean it, polish if you want to hide the color, and wait two to three months. It is also advised to avoid soaking the nail in any sort of water (even if inside gloves) and to thoroughly dry the nail after bathing. If the problem continues, there are prescription treatments that your doctor may try.
- Pitted nails may be associated with psoriasis or other skin problems that affect the nail matrix, the area under the skin just behind the nail. This is the area from which the nail grows. Nails affected by psoriasis can also be tan in color.
- Swelling and redness of the skin around the nail is called paronychia. This is an infection of the skin at the bottom of the nail (cuticle). If the infection is acute (has a rapid onset), it is usually caused by bacteria. It may respond to warm soaks but will often need to be drained by a doctor. A chronic paronychia occurs when a cuticle becomes inflamed or irritated over time. Sometimes, yeast will take advantage of the damaged skin and infect the area as well. Therapy begins with keeping the skin dry and out of water. If the problem continues, a physician should be consulted. Antibiotics are not often used but may be necessary in severe infection.
- Chronic nail trauma, such as repeatedly starting and stopping, kicking, and other athletic endeavors, can cause damage to the nails that can look a lot like fungal nails. This sort of repetitive trauma can also occur with certain types of employment or wearing tight-fitting shoes. Some traumas may cause permanent changes that may mimic the appearance of fungal nails.

Editor's Selection of PoemsTo the Reader of these Sonnets
Into these Loves who but for Passion looks,
At this first sight here let him lay them by
And seek elsewhere, in turning other books,
Which better may his labor satisfy.
No far-fetch'd sigh shall ever wound my breast,
Love from mine eye a tear shall never wring,
Nor in Ah me's my whining sonnets drest;
A libertine, fantasticly I sing.
My verse is the true image of my mind,
Ever in motion, still desiring change,
And as thus to variety inclin'd,
So in all humours sportively I range.
My Muse is rightly of the English strain,
That cannot long one fashion entertain.

TARPON SPRINGS — When they don't pass, they don't go.
And when they do … well, they're pretty darned good.
"Unstoppable," said setter Rachel Reed, and Tuesday night, when they had to be, the East Lake Eagles were just that.
In a 25-22, 28-26, 25-10 win over rival Clearwater, East Lake clearly established itself as the best team in Pinellas County.
It has won 11 straight matches since a season-opening loss to Palm Harbor University, and while the Eagles haven't played a complete match just yet, they are showing glimpses of developing into what Terry Small feels could be one of his best teams ever.
It wasn't a perfect performance, just a match with some near-perfect moments.
The first game was sloppy with some of the poor passing that has plagued the Eagles at times; the second game, Clearwater's Kelsey Souto and Nikki O'Rourke saw to it that the Eagles started poorly.
But toward the end of it, East Lake finally flashed some of the promise of a state title contender.
Trailing 16-7, it scrambled back to within 21-17.
Little-used sophomore Mary Gillis pounded a kill off two blockers, and then Lauran Eschenroeder took flight.
On consecutive kills, she slid from the outside to the middle and in one fell swoop leaped, swung and delivered a crushing kill off Reed's perfect sets.
The two plays were identical, and Eschenroeder blasted another kill, and another running smash job, and then another kill off a Clearwater block on game point, and just like that it was 24-24.
"When she gets a running start like that, a lot of the time you can just see the other girls get scared," said Reed, who had 35 assists. "They just start backing up."
Brianna McComeskey then finished things off, with one of her 11 kills and a tremendous block on Souto, the thud heard throughout the gym, and the ball smacking neatly off the Clearwater side of the court.
Following the 9-3 run to close out the second game, the third game was merely a formality.
Clearwater has now lost six straight games to East Lake, after winning the first two in a match it lost earlier this season.
"It was a good feeling to stomp them in three," said Eschenroeder, who had a match-best 12 kills. "They are a good team, you don't want them having any confidence."
If the Eagles were hoping to send any message Tuesday night, they will have to do so at least one more time this season, and maybe twice. And even then it may not be received — last year they beat Clearwater three times during the regular season before losing to it in the region playoffs.
Clearwater coach Kara Betourne can always remind her team of that, unless the Eagles can convince the Tornadoes before then there will be no repeat in 2010.
Matches like Tuesday's can start to do that.
More importantly, though, is for the Eagles to build on their latest victory. To turn that second-game run into a common occurrence, to bottle what Small said was close-to-perfect serve-receive.
"The first game was a little iffy," Eschenroeder said. "But when we really needed those passes, we got them. That's hard to do when you're down like that and have to do it. I think they definitely did a good job."
And if they can do a great job — considering they have weapons like up front like Eschenroeder, McComeskey, Brittnay Estes and Jackie Wegner — this can be a great team.
Unstoppable, even.

This is mostly the result of the legacy of this index, which has
existed since Unicode 1.0 and been gradually updated by hand
for each new edition. The inconsistent treatement of "Area" in
the index stems from the deemphasis on area as an organizing
concept -- and no one has gone through the index systematically
with the aim of correcting that part.
The use for "areas" in UnicodeData-3.0.0.html is to mark the
start and end points for assigned code points which are not
listed in the data file because their names are predictable
by algorithm (Han, Hangul), or because they have no names
(Private Use, Surrogates).
