A Portable GPS system can be used in many ways, and is a great tool to own. For example, you can use a GPS tracking device in your vehicle to help you find your way while you are driving to a new location. You can also use it on a boat when you are fishing, if you are taking a long bike ride, or going on a hike. Using a GPS system, you will never get lost again.
You can also use a portable GPS system as a tracking device. For example, if you have an expensive motorcycle, you can put a GPS tracking device on it so you will be able to track it if it gets stolen. Many business owners use tracking devices on their company trucks so they can keep up with their employees and know where they are driving.
Set up your Portable GPS System
Portable GPS systems are wireless, so you can use them for many different things, and most are easily portable from one vehicle to another, without having to move a lot of equipment.
When you first open your new portable GPS system, plug it into an electrical outlet and allow it to fully charge before you put it in your vehicle. In most cases, a fully charged GPS will last you approximately eight hours. When you place it in your car, you should understand that it cannot track as easily through metal. It can easily track through glass, however, and most people place the device on their windshield. It will also track through other materials, such as plastic, any type of fabric, foam, or even wood.
The portable GPS system can be plugged into your cigarette lighter when used in your vehicle. When you first power it on, you will be asked to select your language, and then select your home address. The screen will automatically prompt you for your next response. Some portable GPS systems allow you to select the shortest route to a certain destination, or you can tell the system that you want to avoid certain highways or roads.
Select your destination using the touch screen on your portable GPS unit – select the state, and then enter the address of your destination. Most systems will "find" your address after you enter in a few letters automatically. Once you enter the street name, the unit will display a list of streets that you can select from. Select the city by typing it into the unit, or you can select the city from a list displayed on the screen.
If you do not know the street address, enter a restaurant, gas station, shopping mall or other destination into the unit and it will list the establishments in that area. You can then select that establishment and the address will appear on your screen. Select the Navigate or Go button when you are ready to start your trip, or you are ready to track. A map will be displayed on your screen, as well as written directions, and a computerized voice will instruct you as you travel to your destination.
Portable GPS Tracking Options
All portable GPS tracking devices will have different options, but most devices require that you navigate to their website to activate your account. The website address and instructions to do this will be in the manual that you receive with your device. Once you navigate to this website, you will see many different tracking options that you can utilize. You can also find information about the object that you are tracking, such as its exact location and speed of travel. Look in your user manual for many different tracking options.

text: First post got deleted 'cause I didn't realize the comment section had some not so appropriate comments, found the solo image. One of the best optical illusions I've found online. If you practice enough you can actually get it to where you never see the backside of the middle image, and it simply rotates form left to right, without ever spinning in a full circle. It's really cool

Now who would these people of poor understanding be? Who uses the term illusion-like? Well, the Dalai Lama and Geshe Kelsang Gyatso come to mind.

Visiting the Kiva site to recycle yet another loan (I don't actually put a lot of money in, but it sure gets around! ) I found they have recently added another kind of loan mechanism, "Kiva Zip", which has a more direct connection between borrower and lenders. The theory is that it cuts costs and enhances social connections. Read all about it here: https://zip.kiva.org/learn
I haven't decided yet whether it's a good move or not. I welcome other members' thoughts.

A country interested in becoming a Member of the International
Mathematical Union, should send to the
Secretary of IMU a sample of its
activities in mathematics, especially concerning research, as well as a
sample of research papers published in international
journals by its
mathematicians in the last 10 years or so. The Secretary of IMU
will then present the case to the Executive Committee, that will
make a recommendation to the members of the Union by Postal Ballot or at a
meeting of the General Assembly for a final decision.
IMU has five groups of membership. Membership in group
I provides I vote in the General
Assembly. The dues increase nonlinear with the group
number. For instance, the dues for group V are twelve
times the dues for group I. The Statutes describe
this more formally. The adherence of a country is
in one of the five groups I-V with corresponding voting
powers and contributions as set out in the Statutes.
A country may change its classification with the
approval of the members of the Union upon recommendation
of the Executive Committee.
The current dues are as follows:

Skylight Shades & Blinds
- Cellular shades popular for their superior insulation
- Avoid common unwanted heat loss and gain
- Special tracks allow all angles of window coverage
- Protect your interior from UV damage
- Enjoy the light above while maintaining temp control
- Why choose a single or double cell?
The insulating properties of skylight shades make them extremely efficient at reducing the considerable heat transfer that can occur through skylights, and light filtering and blackout options allow for custom light control. Supportive sidetracks allow the shades to be installed at any angle and retain their tension. Skylight blinds may be operated manually by hand or with an extension pole, or be motorized for the ultimate convenience.

LG G Flex's rear key design enables smooth, natural navigation. Its clever placement is directly under the index finger when held in-hand making it, easy to use with convenient, shortcuts and volume control.
Self healing back cover
The self-healing surface of LG G Flex's back cover will protect it from scratches that come from daily use, so it maintains a clean, like new appearance. See the video section for proof.
Pick up the phone to answer a call
Answer calls by picking up the phone and holding it near your ear. The ringtone also gets quieter when the phone is picked up.
Supreme quality sound production
There's a lot of detail behind every sound - and with High Quality Sound, you'll hear and record it all. This feature impacts audio in much the same way that high-resolution video impacts imagery - bringing greater clarity and fidelity, so now you'll never miss the deep tone of the base, subtle vocal details, or the sweet sound of a power chord. G Flex features multi-mic recording with advanced noise cancellation, so it captures and recorded audio with clear sound even in noisy environments. Experience your music and recordings the way they were meant to be heard with High Resolution Sound.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor
Enjoy silky-smooth graphics while watching video orplaying games, browse the web faster, and juggle multiple apps with zero lag time. No matter how you like to use your G Flex, you'll get a more seamless experience powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Processor with 2.26Ghz Quad-Core CPUs. By dividing tasks efficiently between its four cores, G Flex can easily run multiple processes at once, delivering up to a 50 percent increase in graphics performance and faster CPU speeds.
Long-lasting battery
LG has created the world's first curved and flexible battery made to complement the curved design and slim shape of LG G Flex.
The G Flex's 3,500 mAh Li-Polymer battery gives you surprising power, without compromising style, so you can keep going all day. Get up to 25 hours of talk time on one charge.
Guest mode for optimum security
You're not always the only one using your phone - but with Guest Mode, you can personalize a user experience for yourself or a guest, controlling which apps and capabilities are available depending on which mode you enable. This feature lets you hand-select the home screen for yourself and a guest, such as a child or a friend, and create separate pattern locks for that user. So you can share your phone whenever you like, and your content and settings stay just how you left them.
Audio zoom capacity
Audio Zoom lets you zero in on a specific audio source by zooming in on your subject while recording video. Afterwards, you can hear it more clearly during playback. This unique feature uses three stereo mikes, which amplify sound from the specified angle and deemphasize the surrounding noise, so you can zoom in on the sounds you want to hear, and tune out those you don't.
Text Link function to simplify the use of your handset
Transferring information from a text into another app can be difficult—remembering the content, searching through your device for the right app, and accurately recording the information is a daunting task. Text Link makes it easy to save events to your calendar, search the web, or pull up a map, directly from information sent in your text messages, all from an accessible link. Now, convenience truly is just a tap away.
"Knockon" feature making your handset one-of-a-kind
A simple knocking gesture is all it takes. Just knock twice on G Flex to gently wake your phone's display without picking it up or pressing the power key. G Flex senses the gesture and turns the display on. When your hands are full or when you only have a couple of taps to spare, G Flex will help lessen the load.
Dual window multitasking functionality
Dual Window divides the screen into two panels, giving you a comprehensive view of each for easy multitasking on the wide display.
Q theater "world of entertainment"
Q-Theater gives you intuitive shortcut access to a world of entertainment. Just use two fingers to pull the screen open, bringing photo, video, and YouTube icons into focus.

I don't even think about 10s when I consider raiding so I'll almost always be referring to 25s lol. But yeah, 10s you obviously wont drop a healer. Even in BiS gear if you are 2 healing everything, dpsing 100% of the time you aren't healing, being as close to 100% effective with your healing(aka, no overheal), you shouldn't be so far away from running oom regen talents are a joke unless you are a shaman.
Both healers should be dpsing if they aren't out of mana, you have no reason to be anything but almost oom at the end of a fight.
In 25s it's different, but in 10s you should be dpsing as much as healing on farm content.

I dont see how they could sniff the file remote over the internet. If the person was in a LAN or Wireless LAN then it would seem a lot more plausable. Backtrack is capable of doing this, but only on the LAN, not the open internet.
It is possible:
A. Someone who close to the person, either in the same room, or at least the same LAN, sniffed/stoled the password.
B. They were socialially engineered into infecting their computer with a trojan/bot that revealed their info. This could be over the LAN or over the internet.

Thanks for this, I signed the petition! Hopefully everyone else does too! Even if it doesn't apply to them.
I filed a complaint in Nov 2012. Will definitely sign the petition too. But if AT&T allows FaceTime on unlimited data, I'll give credit to myself rather than this petition.
Signed and tweeted.
This is awesome. I usually don't sign or support online petitions (or good ol' fashioned petitions for that matter).
Education, gun control, women's rights, human rights, genocide...BORING! Dont have the time.
AT&T not allowing me to use FaceTime while other AT&T customers on cheaper plans, paying AT&T less money, and not having been AT&T customers nearly as long as I have can....Is Unacceptable! The whole thing is completely backwards. Instead of rewarding their loyal customers for staying with them despite the lack of customer service, they are punishing the loyal customer for...being loyal customers.
They try and twist the loyal customers arm into switching to a new plan (so they lose unlimited data, which they won't tell you) by putting special restrictions on them, and only them, to try and convince them to switch plans. If the loyal customer does not switch plans like they want, they will continue to enforce restrictions until the customer decides it would just be easier to switch....
This is the best example of a business bullying its customers I have ever seen, it's ridiculous. Completely ridiculous.
This is solely about money: unlimited data plans are not as financially rewarding as are tiered plans, which involve "overage" payments if/when a user goes over a set limit. A good question to ask is what percentage of AT&T users have unlimited plans, and how folding them into access to FaceTime would affect the network. Since AT&T just allowed a large group of users into the FaceTime pool, congestion would not seem to be the driving force behind this action. I would need to see hard data that AT&T's network would be in any way affected to believe a word of this. I think it is a matter of closing down data plans AT&T wants to remove. Nothing more.
Indeed, network congestion would seem to not be the motivating factor. They're quite happy to let those who pay more for data tie up the lines all day.
Signed and shared
I use to have unlimited and opted out on my own accord. I just dont see the point on paying for "unlimited" but getting throttled at 2 or 3gb. whats the point of having X amount of internet when its at Edge speeds? I didnt see a point. So i switched to 3gb a month and was able to downgrade my monthly plan to the lowest. Saving myself about $30 a month (went from $130 cellphone bill down to $97).

How it works: Retirement plans—such as deferred-compensation, profit-sharing, IRA, 401(k), 457 and 403(b) plans—permit you to designate one or more beneficiaries to receive all or a portion of the assets in the plan at the time of your death.
Designating Case Western Reserve University as a beneficiary for all or part of your retirement plan assets is simple and can save your loved ones the tax burden from these assets. Your retirement plan sponsor or the asset manager of your plan can provide you with a beneficiary designation form on which you can choose Case Western Reserve as a beneficiary for all or part of the assets in a plan.
A charitable contribution of a retirement plan offers a number of practical advantages. +Read more

Hampshire Talented Athlete Scheme (HTAS)
Hampshire County Council provides support services to help Hampshire's most talented athletes reach world class podiums e.g. Olympics, Paralympics, World Championships. Support starts at county level and goes through to athletes competing internationally. As the performance pathways for different sports vary hugely, each National Governing Body (NGB) of sport is consulted to ensure that support is given at the right level. Disciplines not supported by the NGB or without clear performance pathways will not be eligible for HTAS support.
A variety of factors will influence the level of support provided to an athlete. These factors include national and international rankings, national and international competition results (for individual sports) and selection for national and international teams (for team sports).
The grant application window is now OPEN and click here to find out more information on the process.
Non-Grant package
Applications for the services below are accepted throughout the year and processed on the 1st and 15th of each month.

Hickory, N.C. – The Brevard College men's soccer team was in action under the lights on Thursday night, as the Tornados fell to the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne 1-0 in Hickory, N.C.
The loss drops the Tornados to 1-5-1 overall and 0-2 in the SAC, while Lenoir-Rhyne improves to 3-1-1 overall and 1-0 in conference play.
The Bears controlled the ball for most of the 90 minutes of play, as the lone goal of the contest came in the 78th minute off the foot of Randy Taylor.
The first 45 minutes of the match was played to a 0-0 draw, however, the Tornados were out shot 9-0 in the first half of play.
Again in the second half the Bears came out firing, recording 10 shots to Brevard's one.
The Bear's finally broke through at the 77:38 mark, when Taylor found the back of the net after receiving a pass from Aaron Wheeler to put Lenoir-Rhyne up 1-0.
Freshman goalkeeper Jerry Hatsady had six saves on the night, as he faced an offensive onslaught from the Bears.
Fellow newcomer Miika Kastarinen had the lone shot of the game for BC.
The Tornados will continue their South Atlantic Conference play on Saturday, September 20, as BC will play host to the Eagles of Carson-Newman at 4 p.m. The Bears will step out of SAC play, when they will play host to Belmont Abbey on Wednesday, September 24 at 7:30 p.m.

THOMASVILLE, GA -- Hostess has chosen Flowers Foods as the buyer for Wonder and the majority of its other leading bread brands, which also included 20 bread plants. Flowers Foods' $360 million bid was declared the highest and best offer prior to a court-ordered action that was to be held on Feb. 28 but was canceled because no other bids were received for the bread brands.
If approved by a bankruptcy court on March 19, Flowers, which makes Tastykake and Mrs. Freshley's pastries and the Nature's Own bread brand, will acquire the Wonder, Butternut, Home Pride, Merita and Nature's Pride brands.
An auction will be held for Hostess's Beefsteak brand because Mexico's Grupo Bimbo submitted a higher bid than Flowers' $30 million offer.
Hostess has also picked opening bidders for its snack cakes -- two private equity firms for Twinkies and Little Debbie snack maker McKee Foods for Drakes. Auctions for those sales are scheduled to take place in mid-March.

Summoned to South Carolina to fill in for a negligent colleague, Tempe is stuck teaching at a lackluster archeology field school in the ruins of a Native American burial ground on the Charleston shore. But when Tempe stumbles upon a fresh skeleton among the ancient bones, her old friend Emma Rousseau, the local coroner, persuades Tempe to stay on and help with the investigation. When Emma reveals a disturbing secret, it becomes more important than ever for Tempe to help her friend close the case.
The body count begins to climb. Tempe follows the trail to a free street clinic with a belligerent staff, a suspicious doctor, and a donor who is a charismatic televangelist. Clues abound in the most unlikely places as Tempe uses her unique knowledge and skills to build her case, even as the local sheriff remains dubious and her own life is threatened.
Don't miss any of Tempe Brennan's investigations.

"This novel confirms the series' place in the front rank of the ever-expanding forensic thriller subgenre." (Publishers Weekly)
"Unbearable Narrator"
I love Kathy Reichs, and the story is wonderful, but this narrator is the worst ever. There is absolutely no difference in the way she characterizes each person. She mispronounces common words (the Sioux Native Indians Tribe's name is pronounced to rhyme with shoe and not sooWEE, the way you'd call a pig.) The narrator has no sense of rhythm, blows the jokes, and has a voice that is somewhere between Shari Lewis (of Lambchop fame) and Kathleen Turner during a bad case of bronchitis. I wish I had read the other reviews before I downloaded this, because I could have saved myself a credit. I am going to have to buy the book because this narrator is just too awful to have to sit through. What WERE they thinking?
"Unbearable reader"
This reader is as bland as it gets. She has no gift for inhabiting the characters. This book has a lot of scientific and technical aspects, and with a lifeless voice, I found myself unable to concentrate on what was going on. I couldn't even finish this, and wish I'd read the reviews before I bought it.
"Terrible narrator"
This narrator made Tempe sound like she was in her 60's or 70's. The book was a little slow, but my goodness, the narrator made it even slower. I, too, wished I had read the other reviews and I would have given this one a pass.
"I miss Michele Pawk"
I've been a huge Reichs fan since her first book and have thoroughly enjoyed the transition to reading by listening. Michele Pawk (previous narrator) did a phenomenal job bringing the subtlety and humour to life and made Tempe seem complicated, yet interesting and relatable. This new reader is not suited for the book. Her French is exquisite, but her Tempe is horrible. With such a prickly character, you need a reader that udnerstands Tempe and her universe and this one seemed very wrong for it - this Tempe was peevish, irritating and fickle and the narration brought out the flaws in the story (of which there weren't many, granted, but this reader made them seem blatant). The three stars could've been more, had I not been so annoyed by the narration.
Bring back Michele Pawk!
"Terrible narrator; Look elsewhere"
The story, although somewhat slow, is actually quite good. However, this cannot make up for the detriment to the entire experience contributed by the narrator. I have never listened to an audiobook with such monotone, ill-fitting narration. The voice comes off as distant, uninterested and extremely pompous. Too bad too. Kathy Reichs deserved better than the narrator provides.
"Good Story; Awful Narration"
As with all Kathy Reichs novels, the story is sound, but in this particular reading, the narrator was absolutely terrible! She sounded as though she was reading an instruction manual rather than a good, solid mystery. Very distracting and disappointing.
Queen of UTEE
"Distracting reader"
I wanted so much to love this book, as I've loved all of the authors others.
But, It was near impossible to listen to the narraters voice...the completely WRONG voice for Tempe who we've come to love as this young, full of spunk, sharp witted and bright character.
I suppose if you've not listened to other Kathy Reich's audiobooks you wouldn't realize this, but I have and it was so disturbing, it was all I could do to finish listening.
Puleeeeze....don't chose this reader again for Tempe's character...all wrong.
"No Bones About It..."
...is this author wordy! Interesting characters, decent plot, but this book is evidence that manuscripts simply aren't edited any more. Advantage? You can lose your concentration on your ride home, take a phone call, and pick up with the narrative not having missed anything essential. Good, but v-e-r-y frustrating at times.
"Very disappointing"
I'm a fan of this series, but this installment was WAY below par. The mystery is disjointed and rather dull. Temperance Brennan has turned into an adolescent idiot. And the NARRATOR.... oh, dear. The narrator has a slow, nasal speech pattern and timid, girlish delivery style that's totally unsuited to the material. She also has so little variation in her voice that it's often hard to tell which character is speaking.
"I agree - TERRIBLE READER"
I've enjoyed the earlier Tempe books, but find this reader absolutely unbearable - I even looked to see if someone else had read the abridged version, since much as I prefer unabridged, I'd have gotten the abridged if it had a decent reader.
I'll add my pleas to others here (and I wish I had read these reviews before I bought the audio book): PLEASE don't use this awful reader again.

The Canterbury TV building that was destroyed in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, killing 115 people, should never have been approved, a royal commission report into the collapse has found.
The 300-page report by the Royal Commission into the Canterbury Earthquakes, released on Monday, has criticised the process followed by engineers responsible for creating and signing off the building and identified six reasons for its collapse.
The report is also critical of a rapid assessment by Christchurch City Council building officers after the September 2010 quake, which saw the building given a green sticker, without assessment by an engineer.
Among the findings was that its designer in 1986, David Harding, failed to properly consider the seismic behaviour of the loads the columns and beams had to carry, resulting in "brittle" joints.
The report says Mr Harding was "working beyond his competence" in designing the building, and principal engineer, Alan Reay, should not have left him to work unsupervised or without his work being reviewed.
The building's design did not comply with local bylaws, in part because of its non-compliant north wall - which was the only part of the building left standing after the quake - and should never have received a permit from Christchurch City Council.
While council engineers had concerns about the design, they were "under pressure to approve it" - including from Dr Reay, even though he "knew very little about the structural details of the building", the report says.
The building site's foreman, William Jones, received insufficient guidance from construction manager Gerald Shirtcliff, who did not spend enough time at the site to do his job adequately.
Mr Shirtcliff is under investigation by police in New Zealand and Australia amid allegations he misrepresented his engineering qualifications.
The report also identified errors in the way the floors were connected to walls, and defects in the north and south walls while meant they couldn't resist lateral movement caused by the quake.
In 1990, when non-compliance of the connections between the building's walls floors and north wall was identified during a pre-sale inspection, Alan Reay Consultants Ltd installed steel "drag bars" on levels four-six.
However, the drag bars failed in the February earthquake - or possibly even in the September quake - due to their lack of ductility (malleability), the report says.
It also found construction defects identified after the February quake, such as a lack of roughening of construction joints, should have been visible to Mr Harding "if he was carrying out regular site inspections", as well as to Mr Jones and Mr Shirtcliff, during the building's construction.
The report makes several recommendations relating to the design, construction and maintenance of other buildings around the country, including better assessment of their seismic performance, especially connections of beams and floors to structural walls.
