The development of Albion Riverside reinforces a growing new community on the south bank of the Thames, alongside the Foster studio between Battersea and Albert bridges. A mixed-use development, its ingredients are designed to promote a lively urban quarter where people can live, work and enjoy life in the heart of the city. The scheme comprises four separate buildings linked by new public spaces and routes. Shops, business spaces, cafés and leisure facilities are grouped at ground level, with parking below and apartments, including low-cost housing, above.
The principal building on the waterfront is eleven storeys high. Its massing is designed to respect the heights of neighbouring buildings and to frame the view of the river from the opposite bank. Arcing back from the water's edge, the building forms an asymmetrical crescent to create a public space alongside the river walk. The facades are principally of glass, creating elevations that vary in appearance and sparkle according to prevailing light conditions and changing viewpoints. On the river facade, curved balconies with glass balustrades are accessed through full-height sliding glazed panels, which allow the apartments to open out on to the water. The strong horizontal line of the balconies reinforces a sense of visual order, allowing the clutter of inhabitation to proliferate but not dominate. The southern facade, in contrast, is veiled in a fine net of aluminium rods and pierced by recessed balconies and windows. The roof continues the building's curving form, wrapping over and around in a single sweep.
A typical floor in this building contains twenty-six apartments, arranged around four service cores. In total there are 183 apartments, ranging from one to four bedrooms, and twelve duplex penthouses. Informing all of the apartment layouts is a sense of flexibility − sliding partitions allow spaces to be opened up or divided for different uses, while balconies offer an extension of living spaces and are deep enough to encourage outdoor dining.

Whether it is what they wear or eat, who they listen to or watch or how they talk, teens in Canada and The United States have a great deal in common.
With that in mind, a recent piece of research conducted among American teens has some likely validity here. The research, published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Accident Analysis and Prevention, links the positive and negative beliefs of teens about not using a cellphone, with their likelihood to do so.
It found the best way to convince teen drivers to stay off the phone while at the wheel is to emphasize the positive effects of that decision rather than highlight the negative outcome of cellphone use while driving.
Searching for a new vehicle? Our Globe Drive car search makes it easy to track down the best vehicle for you
The results come from the National Young Drivers Survey of more than 5,500 teenagers, part of the Young Driver Research Initiative created by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm Insurance. YDRI was established to use scientific research to understand and predict teen driver crashes in hopes of helping prevent them. As is the case in Canada, motor vehicle crashes remain the No. 1 cause of death among teens in America. The information and tools generated by the program is continuously updated and shared with policy makers, educators, teens and parents on www.teendriversource.org.
This latest survey asked teens to share positive and negative effects of refraining from using their cellphones while driving. Those that seldom use their phones while at the wheel tended to cite positive motivators while those who frequently use cellphones while driving referred to the drawbacks of not using their phone.
"When it comes to predicting their frequency of cellphone use while driving, the positive beliefs teens have about refraining from this behaviour are more powerful than their negative beliefs," says Jessica Hafetz, the study's lead author. "More specifically, teens also attached more weight to safety-related beliefs over those that are purely social. For instance, the positive belief of paying attention to their driving was more important than the negative beliefs of seeming less social and missing out on gossip or important news."
The benefits teens cited included being able to pay more attention to their driving, being less likely to have a crash and obeying the law.
On the other hand, those who admitted to frequent phone use while driving said the drawbacks of not using their phone were more important than the benefits. Those drawbacks are perceived as getting lost or forgetting something, not being able to let others know where they are or when they will arrive and not having their parents able to reach them.
While researchers consider these to be valid concerns, they say there are alternatives and offer practical advice for parents and educators speaking to teens about using a cellphone while driving:
- Acknowledge the desire to have a cellphone in the car for emergency purposes.
- Convey a clear message that the phone should never be used while driving.
Susan Hood, claims vice-president at State Farm, says we need to "truly connect" with today's teens if we want to prevent crashes and save lives. "That means empowering teens to do the right thing by giving them viable alternatives to talking or texting while driving. Teens don't respond well to messages and restrictions that appear punitive or controlling or that single teens out as a group."
The authors of the study say positive practices for cellphone use in a vehicle include:
- Complete any call or text before starting the car.
- Know directions before starting the car rather than relying on a cellphone call or GPS.
- Check in with friends or parents only after you arrive.
- Pull over to a safe place for urgent calls or have a responsible passenger use the phone.
"This study adds to the growing body of scientific literature that illustrates the importance of basing public health messaging for teens on strengthening their existing safety beliefs as opposed to using 'scare tactics' to change their behaviour," Hafetz says.
"We're always telling teens about the negative consequences of certain behaviours. Let's instead flip it around and focus on the positive things that can happen when they do the right thing."

Definition Edit
Text mining (also written as text-mining) is
|a process of discovering and extracting text-related content from unstructured, miscellaneous data. Text-mining is often mentioned in the context of several information-age trends such as big data, bioinformatics, data curation, e-Science and the semantic web. Currently, there are a number of social media monitoring tools that perform various types of text-mining activities.
Overview Edit
Typically, text-mining comprises three major activities: 1) information retrieval (IR) to gather relevant unstructured text among heterogeneous databases, documents and websites, 2) information extraction (IE) to identify and extract entities, facts and relationships among those entities, and 3) data-mining to find associations among the information extracted in the various texts located.
The goal of text-mining is to extract and discover knowledge hidden in text by identifying concepts, extracting facts/relationships in texts, discovering implicit links and generating hypotheses. One of the main reasons text-mining may be important is to deal with information overload created by blogs, wikis, clinical data, surveys, heterogeneous databases and the web. Text-mining is especially useful in areas where large collections of data and information in documents are located.

Why do girls like to claim how nice they are in their dating profiles?
If you ignore me, and then you ignore me when I send you a follow-up message a week or two later (which shows you surely didn't accidentally not respond to my original message), that makes you NOT nice. You essentially are telling me you think I'm ugly, and uninteresting. Nice people don't ignore someone. That's just hurtful. If you want to ignore me fine, but don't claim you're a nice person!
Most Helpful Girl
You try getting 50 messages a day and keeping up a conversation with everyone to be "nice". Who has that kind of time? We'd have to quit our day jobs and just sit on the dating site replying to messages all day instead. Don't take it so personally. If she doesn't reply, she's just not interested and doesn't want to waste your time or string you along either - that's nice of her.11|00|2

I don't really care one way or the other. At least you're getting a complement.
but then some of us (me) fall in the category where they hate compliments.
Well that's your problem.
I like it and don't really mind either
Have an opinion?
I've had bad experiences with the word 'cute' as a compliment so I prefer gorgeous or pretty if I'm being a girly guy :)
I am not really bothered about that.
Cute is for girls
I call guys adorable sometimes...
eh, its better than cute... Not quite rugged, or handsome... How do u find cute as an insult?
I guess because I'm short and most cute things are the smaller ones and whenever you're bad and get caught with your friends its like pin it on the cute one.-. xD
Lol... Ur friends sound like jackasses 🐴
It depends on who's saying it and in what context I suppose. I'd rather be called handsome, good-looking, or hot.
I don't mind it
Hey, it's a start is how I see it
I like it :)
For a girl it's the best compliment. It's better than being called beautiful or hot. Even a stone can be beautiful or hot
I used to dislike it when I was 13.
But now I really like it.
It makes me smile for some reason.
a little girl is cute. puppies are cute. When I'm called cute i hate. I want to be beautiful sexy even but cute... no go.

I don't like it. Cute was fine when I was 3 or 5. At 19... not so much

Facebook Shutting Down Conservatives? Identities Being Deleted Without Notice
Facebook--the self-proclaimed Social Networking Icon--has recently begun deleting politically- charged accounts without warning.
On August the 22nd Jane's Facebook profile, complete with as many as 5,000 friends and contacts, was wiped off of the face (book) of the earth. Jane tells us that this practice has apparently become "a hobby" to those in charge of the social networking site. Unfortunately she is right. Jane's experience was not the only one in the very recent past that we are familiar with. In fact, on or about July 20th my "Conservative Refocus" Facebook profile was also deleted along with 3,000 + friends and contacts.
Luckily, I did have a back-up profile which left some of my more local contacts in place. However, trying to piece one's vast network of friends back together after a few years is no easy thing.
Below is an article which Jane wrote as a result of her "summary dismissal" from Facebook:
August 23, 2010: 9:39 p.m. (PST)
I have heard from a number of Facebook friends. This has apparently been happening quite a bit to conservatives on Facebook. There is no "warning" from the service…they are suddenly just "disabled."
My final attempt to communicate with Facebook after telling them I would not email personal information to them, was an email that " bounced" back to me as unsent and undeliverable. This leads me to believe that I might have been hacked and that it wasn't Facebook that cancelled me. Melanie Morgan tells me Move America Forward's website was hacked Sunday after its members took part in the Code Pink demonstration. It was shortly after I posted my stories about the Code Pink terrorist connections and their donations to Jerry Brown that I was "disabled"
Here is my new page on Facebook it is a group page called UNCOVERAGE.net Send everyone there. I have a new personal profile but won't use it as much.
Update 11:58 a.m.:
Facebook says it wants me to email them with my driver's license or passport information to prove that I am a real person?
I don't think so!
Facebook has emailed to say that "a complaint" was made by someone that I am a fake profile on Facebook. This is ridiculous and I have told them so. This was merely a ploy, and a successful one, to silence me after I posted some critical stories about a Democrat politician in California and the leftwing organization that is giving him money. I am sure it is no coincidence that my profile was "disabled"
Clearly, something is amiss here. There are any number of "liberal trolls"
Liberals can be very dangerous people, especially here in the bay area, where I have had my tires flattened and my car windows broken when I attended counterprotests against liberal groups. They have pushed, shoved and threatened me with violence at their protests over the years when I would show up with counter protest signs or question their activities. I unfortunately, have to do work with liberals in the San Francisco bay area who undoubtedly would fire me or not hire me due to my political beliefs, so I keep my professional writing persona and my personal life "separate"
Jane Jamison is my professional pen name. I will not be submitting personal information to Facebook, because it is not required by other members. Facebook said someone has complained I am using a fake identity. I am not "assuming"
There are many hate groups operating on Facebook. Where is the policing? There are many fake profiles with weird photos, many of them liberals who troll on the pages of conservatives like me. Where is the policing of them on Facebook?
I'm just sayin.'
August 22, 2010 Jane Jamison Facebook Account "Disabled"
Hey Fellow Patriots! I am still here and on Twitter…..but suddenly today, Facebook "disabled"
This occurred, interestingly enough, after I had posted the critical stories on Code Pink's Jerry Brown fundraiser. I had posted the story later in the day on Jerry Brown's facebook site, with a few other comments like:
"Wake up, California! The State is Broke!"Could it be that the Attorney General of Kaleeefornia who wants to be YOUR governor (not MINE, evah!) has a bit of "thin skin"?
Could it be that the liberals who run Facebook (in Palo Alto, isn't it?) did Jerry's bidding if the little dear complained?
Could it be that there is no First amendment right to free speech on Facebook, especially if you are dissing a pet liberal?
I'm just sayin'.
Jane's article tells it like it is, but we wonder if perhaps it was less a "particular article" and more overall Conservative content that has the Facebook folk deleting their loyal and loving members right and left. Here at Conservative Refocus, we have a bit of a reputation for telling it like it is as well. But we find it beyond mystifying that Facebook has decided to apparently mitigate political content when, in fact, political content is one of the hot buttons that has made Facebook such a widely used social networking system. Are we seeing Facebook authoring its own eventual demise?
We have tried to obtain information from Facebook regarding this "wipe off the face of the earth" phenomenon that many Conservatives are undergoing, however the return answers are automated and cold at best and most do not have the leverage of demanding a refund...alas. Our fearless publicist and researcher Kim tells us that she has gotten one bit of an answer on this unpleasantness should any other Conservatives wish to avoid this conundrum. "Buy an ad" is the answer if your desire is to post links.
But we also wonder if perhaps any left-wingers are suffering the same fate? Probably not, since most of those activists work for the Mainstream Media. Facebook, in our "business acumen experience,"
Besides, what was all of that social networking buzz we have been hearing about Google anyway?

I'm usually fine posting things online since it's all anonymous, etc., I just have trouble talking to friends and family about things I'm going through and when I do I hardly show any emotion. Like a few years ago when I told one of my friends my uncle passed away she was surprised how little emotion I showed. I'm pretty sure I'm not a psychopath because I do cry about things, just usually not in fount of anyone. I have no idea why.
Most Helpful Guy
Me too.
I guess you just don't want to seem vulnerable and weak to people you know, you probably want to keep the facade of yourself that they know you as all this while. However, expressing your emotions online is a much easier task to do, especially if it is done anonymously. You don't know these people you're talking to and you'll probably never see them in real life, so it doesn't affect your image.22|00|0
Yeah, and they're not emotionally involved in your life so they can offer a different perspective on situations
Most Helpful Girl
I'm the same. I don't like showing people my emotions, I never told my father that I loved him very much, now it's too late because he past away. It really hurts.11|00|0
Sorry about your dad. I don't tell people I love them either, I guess it just feels weird doing it.
Thank you, yes it kinda feels weird and I assume (wrongly) that they already know it and they don't need repeating.

Renting a property in Spain
If you're looking to rent a Spanish property, find out where and how to rent a property in Spain and what quirks to expect from the Spanish property market.
Although property sale prices in Spain have fallen 30 percent overall, with many individual properties losing half their value, the effect has not been seen as strongly in Spain's rental market. However, it's clear that less attractive Spanish properties are dropping in price, and even in Barcelona or Madrid it is possible to get a small apartment for EUR 300 per month. Double that will get you a nice Spanish home in a better area, and EUR 1000+ per month can get you a house outside town or a nice central apartment in Spain's main cities, such as Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia.
Should you rent or buy in Spain?
Renting a property in Spain is a good way to get to know the country and to decide which area you would like to live in. Just 17 percent of Spanish residents rent their home, and the market may seem more geared towards sales than rentals. However, the Spanish property market has suffered severely since the 2008 crisis and house prices are predicted to continue to fall in 2014.
Renting for a few years before buying is generally a sound course, particularly in the current market. On the plus side, there are no restrictions on foreigners (resident or non-resident) buying property in Spain. The costs of buying a home are around 15 percent of property sale price, and are primarily paid by the buyer. You can find more information in Expatica's guide to buying property in Spain.
Find a property in Spain
As with other countries, the most common way to find a house or apartment to rent in Spain is through an estate agent (inmobiliarias), online property portals, newspaper adverts or word of mouth. In addition to the Spanish property portals listed below, you may find Spanish properties listed on real estate websites based in other countries, particularly the UK and Germany. However, these will often be targeted at tourists and may therefore be more expensive.
Many foreign nationals choose to live in Spain, either for extended holidays, retirement or work; many estate agents cater to multiple languages as a result. They are often primarily focused on sales, although if you don't speak Spanish well, you may find that it's worth enquiring about rentals as well. Estate agents are usually paid by the landlord. However, if you ask an agent to find you a property, you can expect to pay for this service, either a fixed fee or a percentage of the monthly rent. This will typically be between EUR 250 up to a month's rent.
Online property portals
- Servihabitat
- comprarcasa
- idealista.com
- tucasa.com (Spanish only)
- venta de pisos (Spanish only)
Property descriptions
While holiday and short-term lets require a licence, long-term lets don't. As a result, properties vary in quality and the descriptions vary in accuracy. Property portals that offer languages other than Spanish sometimes use automatic computer translations, so be sure to confirm that the key features exist when you view the property.
As in many European countries, Spanish properties are typically advertised with a monthly rent and a living space in square metres. The advert should also indicate whether the property is furnished or not. However, as there are no clear standards for this, unfurnished properties may be completely bare, have no kitchen appliances, or include a few pieces of furniture left by the landlord. Likewise, furnished properties can be either comprehensive, including kitchen items, or very basic – so if you view the property while the previous tenant is still in residence, make sure you're very clear about which pieces of furniture are staying. One option is to email the estate agent to confirm this, getting the answer in writing.
Since 1 June 2013, all properties for long-term lets (rather than holiday lets) are required to have an energy efficiency certificate. This will often help you spot houses that will be expensive to heat or which are older, as new properties will typically have a good energy rating.
Applying for a property in Spain
Expect to apply to an estate agent for a property and to put down the equivalent of one month's rent when you do. This is usually rolled into your deposit when the contract and moving in are complete.
You will typically be asked to provide:
- Evidence of employment or ability to pay the rent;
- tax identification number (if you are working);
- passport or ID;
- personal references.
Tenancy agreement
In Spain, a tenancy agreement (contrato de arrendamiento) is valid whether verbal or written. Verbal contracts are generally a bad idea, particularly if you don't speak the language fluently. Insist on having everything in writing so you ensure you fully understand what you're signing. To break a contract, the lessee must give at least 30 days' notice before the end date.
As standard, a tenant with a long-term contract (more than one year) has the right to renew annually for three years, unless the landlord states after one year that they intend to occupy the property personally on a given date – two months' notice must be given to the lessee. The landlord is permitted to increase the rent if improvements are made, as long as the increase meets certain standards and is less than 20 percent overall.
Typically, a contract will be for 12 months, renewed annually, and if you give notice to quit during this period, you will have to pay rent until the end of the contract. However, as of June 2013 this is no longer legally required – rental periods can be as little as six months followed by a rolling one month contract. Still, if you expect to have to leave suddenly and in a way that is out of your control – for example being recalled by your company – you should budget for this or have an escape clause written into the contract.
The full details of rental law in Spain are provided on the government website (in Spanish).
Cost of renting a home in Spain
The deposit is equivalent to a minimum of one, typically two, months of rent and cannot be used to pay your rent. It should be held by a third party. The landlord cannot ask to be paid more than one month's rent in advance, and payment is usually at the beginning of the month. The landlord may ask for a bank guarantee. This means that if the tenant fails to pay the rent, the landlord can apply directly to the tenant's bank for the funds.
In addition to the rent, the tenant will be expected to pay for utilities and minor repairs due to wear and tear. This should be made clear in the contract. Utilities for a two bedroom apartment in Spain are typically around EUR 50–150 per month, depending on energy efficiency, usage and type of utilities. On top of this, there may be annual or monthly fees for maintenance of communal areas and local charges, such as garbage collection.
Short-term tenancies
Short-term (under 12 months) and holiday lets (under 3 months) are regulated in Spain and landlords must be licenced. Spain is a popular holiday destination, which means that there are many properties available at all prices. However, you may find that affordable short-term accommodation is in short supply in popular areas or during the high season (typically summer, school holidays and Christmas). You must vacate the property when your short-term contract (contrato de arrendamiento de temporada) ends.
Moving in and out
Tenants must maintain the property to a reasonable standard so it's important to ensure that an inventory is done at the start of your tenancy and is accurate. In addition, it's advisable to request an inspection two to four weeks before you actually leave, to give you time to put any quibbles right and thus regain as much of your deposit as possible. If you do this, you may be able to get the landlord to give you your deposit back when you return the keys. Otherwise, they have the right to keep it for one month. Any longer and they must pay interest on the funds.
Tenant's rights
Spanish law is strongly pro-tenant. It is difficult for a landlord to evict a tenant, even if they stop paying rent, as court proceedings are slow and rent must remain unpaid for an extended period before the landlord can arrange an eviction. In 2013, the period was reduced from six months to six weeks, making it easier for landlords to start the eviction process, although court cases tend to still be drawn out over several months.
Shutting off utilities, changing the locks or otherwise restricting the tenant's use of the property is likely to be considered harassment, and landlords who do so may face a fine or a jail sentence. Landlords may even be charged with trespassing if they enter their own property without the permission of the tenant.
One concern for tenants in the current market is that the landlord may go bankrupt and the property be repossessed by the bank. In this case, the tenant continues to have the right to occupy the property as though it had been sold in the usual way. In practice, you will often be asked to leave by the former or new owner. You do not have to agree. If you are offered a financial settlement to encourage you to leave, you may accept it but you don't have to.

Hi, my landlady has given me 30 days notice to leave the house after fallen behind with my rent. The arrears are one month's rent. Is this legal forher to give me 30 days notice to leave. I have been living in the house for 2 and half years. Could she have added a clause in the contract stating if I don't pay the rent for a month she can give me notice and cancel the contract. Doesn't have to go to court and get me evicted to do that? If so how long would that take? I am in Barcelona, Spain. Many thanks!

regarding long-term lets : " As standard, a tenant with a long term (over 1 year) contract has the right to renew annually for 5 years " this is completely wrong as after the new 2013 spanish urban rental law compulsory contract extensions has been reduced from 5 years to 3 years, while the tacit renewal is shortened from 3 years to one year.


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Crude oil prices have been gyrating, based on what the likelihood of U.S. military intervention in Syria that varies from day to day.Alan Harry, CEO of Spartan Commodity Partners, told TheStreet's Joe Deaux that there is about $5 a barrel of war premium baked into the price of crude oil. Still, that's lower than the historical $10-to-$20 per barrel of war premium that typically is priced in during times like these, he said. Of course, the situation could just be different, but Harry added that it feel as if oil wants to trade down to $102 or $100 a barrel -- which will probably happen if there is no military action in Syria. He added that he believes gasoline and oil reserves will be released if there is a strike on Syria and if the price of crude oil shoots sharply higher. So how do you play? For Harry, he isn't -- yet. He concluded that if crude oil prices get above $108.76, then he'll buy the breakout and if they fall below $105.63, he'll short the breakdown.

So last year there was a guy in one of my classes. He's graduated now, I haven't yet. I know he liked me (not sure if he still does), he bought me chocolates once. He's a friend of a friend, that's how I first found out he liked me. I didn't end up getting his number or giving him mine and this was 6 months ago. I thought my friend would eventually help us meet again or give him my number (she never did) but she's been acting weird since then, kind of distancing from me and looking back now, I can tell she didn't actually care as much as I thought she did, she can be really fake/jealous, I just never thought she would be that way with me. She says he said it's been too long but she has broken my trust a lot lately so I don't know what to believe. Anyway, I need help with a really difficult class he has already taken (I'm in the same program he was in), so I got his number to ask him for help. He agreed, but from his texting, he's not being really friendly. I know it's hard to tell from texting but still... Last time I saw him, about a week ago, we didn't really speak although he did give me a quick hug when he saw me. I'm so worried that he hates me now, I know maybe I should have put more effort into making things work, but I'm not a forward person at all and I guess he isn't really either and I really thought my friend knew that and would have just given him my number or something, since I got rid of my Facebook a while ago. Does it sound like it's too late? What should I do? I'm pretty nervous to see him, but could it be a good sign that he agreed to help me? I need a guy's perspective but any opinions/advice are appreciated. Thanks :)
Is it too late? Guys, please help, I'm stressing out?
Anyone else?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
Its too late, but there is hope, in order for you to speak to him again, is to re-activate your FB, and from there you chat with him. (Guys like it when girls initiate a conversation, so dont hesitate) Once you two are comfortable online, then meet him face 2 face, by then he would feel much more comfortable with you.00|00|0

How to Configure Wireless Settings (Windows Embedded Standard 2009)
To use wireless networking on your device, your configuration or device must include:
A wireless card and any associated drivers and configuration utilities.
Wireless Zero Configuration, Primitive: Wzcsvc, and Network Provisioning Service components.
Wireless configuration settings that are specified through the Wireless Provisioning Service API.
The WPS API is publicly documented, and a Driver Development Kit (DDK) is available to help you access the API for your wireless settings and devices. The Network Provisioning Service component also provides support for the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) standard.
The typical solution is to write an application that calls the WPS API. This application can specify or detect the GUID for your wireless card, and specify the Service Set Identification (SSID) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption key on each device.
Because the same API is used and fully supported on both Windows Professional and Windows Embedded, you can use a regular computer running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 to develop and test your wireless application and devices. Then you can componentize the application and add it to an embedded device configuration.
Check the wireless card vendor's Web site for the latest wireless card drivers and configuration utilities that you can componentize, or for a componentized version of the drivers and configuration utilities for the wireless card that your device uses.
For information about troubleshooting wireless network connections in Windows XP Professional, see this Microsoft Web site.
Review wireless networking and security. Windows Embedded Standard supports both the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protocol and the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) standard.
Enable wireless networking in your configuration. Add the necessary wireless components and their dependencies to your configuration in Target Designer.
Add a wireless card to your device, including drivers and configuration utilities if available. Determine the resource requirements for your wireless card.
Write a custom program to access the WPS API. This program will specify the SSID, WEP encryption key, and GUID for the wireless networks and wireless cards that you want to support. You can create and test your configuration and settings on a computer running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2, or on an embedded device that contains Windows Embedded Standard and the wireless components.
Create a custom component for your custom wireless program. Include all required binaries, resource files, and registry information.
Create a custom component for your custom wireless program. Include all required binaries, resource files, and registry information.
Add your custom component to your configuration by using Target Designer.
Add a RunOnce Request resource to your run-time image so that your wireless profile runs during or after first boot.
Build the run-time image.

Love him or loathe him, Ned Kelly has been at the heart of Australian culture and identity since he and his gang were tracked down in bushland by the Victorian police and came out fighting, dressed in bulletproof iron armour made from farmers' ploughs.
Historians still disagree over virtually every aspect of the eldest Kelly boy's brushes with the law. Did he or did he not shoot Constable Fitzpatrick at their family home? Was he a lawless thug or a noble Robin Hood, a remorseless killer or a crusader against oppression and discrimination? Was he even a political revolutionary, an Australian republican channelling the spirit of Eureka?
Peter FitzSimons, best-selling chronicler of many of the great defining moments and people of this nation's history, is the perfect person to tell this most iconic of all Australian stories. From Kelly's early days in Beveridge, Victoria, in the mid-1800s, to the Felons' Apprehension Act, which made it possible for anyone to shoot the Kelly gang, to Ned's appearance in his now-famous armour, prompting the shocked and bewildered police to exclaim 'He is the devil!' and 'He is the bunyip!', FitzSimons brings the history of Ned Kelly and his gang exuberantly to life, weighing in on all of the myths, legends and controversies generated by this compelling and divisive Irish-Australian rebel.
©2013 Peter FitzSimons 2013. (P)2013 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd
Eureka is a great tale, a rollicking story with momentum that sweeps the reader along to the climactic explosion of violence.' (The Australian)
"Must listen"
Very pleased. Excellent narrative, easy to listen to and drift off in to the story. It will not disappoint.
This is the first book of Peter Fitzsimon's that I've ever read (well technically 'listened' to) and I'm very impressed. The way he brought the complete story of Ned to life had me captivated throughout. The vast amount of research he and his team must have put into this book truly pays off. I highly recommend it if you have any shred of interest in the story of Ned Kelly.
A thrilling and immersive account of the life of the great Edward, Ned, Kelly. Whether you believe that Ned was right or wrong, with this, you can agree that he was just.
"That is thatplkmk(kkkkkk(I j nnn;jl) Olli ol) lp9)"
Great story much learnt well read)) ppkkkkll ll)) l) lso) much l did not no gives Real oolp0pooo to the man ned Kelly lek jjjjlppnnn/;npppo)l)0l)
"A must for any Kelly fan"
something to be learnt for even the most avid of Ned Kelly fans. narrator does a fantastic job telling the story.
Say something about yourself!
A bit long. The story of a vain young thief who was loved and famous among country folk, creating the myth of a Robinhood. Corrupt Government officials and Police only aided the sympathy for Kelly.
"Kelly - From Pop To Drop."
I heard the Fitzsimmons unearthed and/or many pieces of Kelly evidence that, to date, had been unknown or questioned. With this knowledge, it was satisfying venturing through the book comfortable that what i was hearing had a bloody good chance of being legit.
Surely the Glenrowan stand is his most memorable.
Aspel doesn't adopt character portrayals, which I was happy with nor does it take away from the story.
When Push Met With Shove.
The book is very well written and Aspel's reading is tolerable, if not a little over emphasised at times. Overall, I'm more than satisfied with it.
"It felt like I was there"
The most evocative account ilI have ever experienced.. You really do feel like you were there.
"Never a dull moment"
It was very interesting, fun listening to the old newspaper quotes and hearing the language used back then.
"the narrator was hard to listen to"
An Aussie accented narrator would of been easier to listen to. very informative and factual.
"Not the best telling of the story of Ned Kelly"
First of all I don't like this authors (Peter FitzSimons) style of writing or history. Second, the narrator Richard Aspel is dreadful. Thirdly, there are better books than this one on the telling of the Ned Kelly Gang incidents.
Peter FitzSimons isn't a very good historian, but he does try. He tends to take a side and skew the telling. Don't get me wrong, he can write and his newspaper column is one of my favourite Sunday readings, but his telling of history is not good. He tells a story, that some might like to listen or read but not me.
Richard Aspel seems to make every sentence a drama filled statement, even when it isn't. I don't think he could read a dozen words without stopping which makes the continuity hard to listen to. By the end of the book, I just wanted the whole thing finished with. It was hard to get through this book, mainly due to his narration.
If the epilog had introduced the book, without the what happen to the characters after Edward Kelly departed us (spoiler alert) this book might have been forgivable, but it is too one sided, too 'the truth is in the telling' and too sensational.
I have listen and read some other of Peter FitzSimons books and as an author, he doesn't impress me, as a media personality, I like him, as a historian I am not happy with. This book was a personal quest for Mr FitzSimons who describes it as "a big boofy bearded guy writing about a big boofy bearded guy". (Not exact quote). If you like Mr FitzSimons story telling, then buy the book and read it and skip Richard Aspel narration. If you want to read better books on the history, then go to the back and see which books Mr FitzSimons has used for reference and research.
Not the best book on Ned Kelly
"A detailed account of the outlaw's life"
The majority of books detailing Ned Kelly's exploits usually present a sympathetic view of the man. Even people who know the major history behind the Kelly Gang see him as an Australian hero. While this book seems to start as yet another of those, it gradually evens out to a neutral stance. This is good, for make no mistake, Ned Kelly was a killer and relished being an outlaw. Fitzsimons presents all the well-detailed facts, supported by multiple testimonies of Kelly himself and the people who encountered him.
The book is broken up into four parts: Ned's early life, his early crimes and the Stringybark Creek murders, the last stand at the siege of Glenrowan, and his trial and final days in prison. The story is paced well, embellished with Fitzsimons' usual flair and narrated fairly by Aspel. The siege of Glenrowan is particularly fascinating and even Ned's final days in prison are foreboding and poignant.
The book's accounts allow the reader to make up their own mind about what kind of man Ned Kelly was. But no one can deny he was a victim of the harsh times and circumstances within which he grew up. It was a time that pitted rich squatters against the poor selectors (the Kellys among many others). The rich got richer and the poor struggled to put food on the table. These conditions led Kelly to early thievery and eventually onto bigger crimes. This doesn't excuse his deeds, but it does make you understand why he did the things he did.
Such is life.
"Fascinating, engaging and richly detailed."
The level of detail Peter FitzSimons has researched, offers multiple perspectives of Ned Kelly's story that brings his personality and journey to life. A wonderful historic journey.

Dana Gas discloses that, along with Crescent Petroleum and the Pearl Petroleum consortium (which holds petroleum rights in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq), it has commenced arbitration proceedings at the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), in order to clarify certain contractual rights under their Agreement with the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq (KRG), which was signed in April 2007 and is governed by English Law (the Agreement).
The objective of the arbitration, which is pursuant to the agreement, is to obtain clarification of the consortium's long-term contractual rights for the development and marketing in respect of the Khor Mor and Chemchemal fields; including the outstanding receivables owed by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
This follows concerted and sincere efforts to resolve differences of opinion with the MNR including a formal mediation procedure under the LCIA Rules, with which the MNR unfortunately declined to engage.

I always feel bad for the guy's who's girlfriends wear tons of makeup. It just looks greasy. Isn't it kind of nasty when you're making out and you get lipstick or lip gloss all over your own mouth? So what are your thoughts on girls wearing lip gloss/lipstick when you're making out?
Most Helpful Guy
Yeah if there's a lot of gloss on it get's a little messy lol If I wanted to wear lip gloss I would have just put it on myself. A little isn't bad at all but if you can see it shining on her lips a mile away then that's a bad sign lol. It feels like I have saran wrap on my lips after I kiss a girl with a lot of gloss on..maybe it's where I'm not use to the feeling but I don't like it..11|00|0

Baked Apples Filled With Sausage
Recipe by Montana-GemBob
Just great food. Serve for breakfast or maybe supper with rice or a type of potato or just because. Time to make is just a guess. It depends on the size of the apple. So keep an eye on it.
Top Review by Bobtail
This was a learning experience for me! I discovered that I mutilate apples when I try to core them without a corer. So in order to "save my apples", I cut them in half and then cored them, slicing out more of the pulp. Proceeding with the recipe, layered the sausage mixture over the apple halves, not as attractive as whole apples would have been, but it worked. I did bake uncovered for about 30 minutes and decided to put the cover on for a few minutes, hence my 2nd learning experience ....apples will "foam" up when covered LOL! This may not occur if the apples had been whole. However, it is really not necessary to cover the dish. After all this, I really enjoyed this recipe. It smelled delicious while cooking, just like fall! The sweet/tartness of the apples was delicous with the slight spiciness of the sausage, great combination. I have leftovers to take for lunch next week and I look forward to it. Thanks Montana-GemBob!
See Discussion:2 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 6 large apples- granny smith apples
- 1 lb hot pork sausage (your favorite brand)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions See How It's Made
- Wash the apples and cut a slice off the top to make it even.
- Core the apples.
- Scoop out about half of the pulp in the apple leaving some.
- Combine the pulp that you scooped out with the sausage and the brown sugar.
- Fill the apples with the sausage mixture.
- Place in an 8x8 baking dish and bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes or until it is done.
- The time on this is not completely accurate. You need to just keep an eye on it until it is ready.

Indeed this was a great hotel to stay. Target located nearby is about 10 minutes walk. The hotel staff is every friendly and helpful. The shuttle to DisneyLand runs on schedule.
But I did not give a 5 star for the following reasons.
1. The coffee mugs were not cleaned. The coffee stains were distinctively noticeable.
2. The water seeps very slowly in the bath tub.
3. The breakfast opens at 6:30am on Magic Morning Saturday's. It would be great if breakfast opens at 6:00am even on saturdays. This way the kids could eat a little breakfast before heading out.

All of these hold about 32GB of data.
So I decided to make a trip down to Putrajaya during said fiesta, mainly because I wanted to try and take some pics of the fireworks. Boy was there a LOT of people when we got there.
A LOT of people.
Seems like they were all crowding around on the path of the marching band.
The traders around were selling LED decorations, and also.. umbrellas since it looked like the sky was going to open up.
But likely it didn't actually rain... phew. And the most interesting thing I saw during the event was a pair of blimps. But as you'll see in the video below. The way they moved around I'm pretty sure they're remote controlled camera blimps.
As the time for the fireworks drew near, I could see people setting up their tripods and getting their cameras ready for their shots. I didn't bring a tripod as it'd be hard for me to setup and move around with WZ around. And I was there to test something else anyway. The Sony CX-150 I newly bought that day.
The launch started BEFORE I could set the scene mode to fireworks display, if I did, I think the autofocus would do less hunting around, and also exposure would be controlled to catch more of the fireworks color. But the results were still not too bad lar.
The funny situation was AFTER the fireworks display, everyone left AT THE SAME TIME! So the traffic situation was like everyone in Putrajaya deciding to leave at the same time. Very very chaotic.
Maybe it wasn't such a good idea leaving all these Nerf guns around the house.
As I posted before I was looking for a bicubic resize algorithm for images to be used in Silverlight. I thought I ported the code properly from C# to VB but then yesterday when I was testing the code some more, I realized that there was a weird pattern of noise present in the picture. It looked like a square grid of sorts being overlaid onto the image. My experience told me that, that's because something screwed up when interpolating the pixel values (duh!) I didn't notice it previously because my previous test images didn't cause it to show up.
So what was I left to do? I had to port over the C# version to a lib on it's own then.
Pretty much a direct port of the original code since it was in C# already previously, just changed the way pixels are read and set. Same caveat applies as the previous code, no alpha premultiplication done yet.
The C# code didn't produce the weird grid like overlay pattern. So... what happened? Well my guess would have to be that I haven't properly ported the code to VB, and somewhere there's a fractional number being cast to a whole number causing some problems.
I'll have to be more careful when porting code that involves fractions in the future then.
Additional 32GB storage, an extended battery that's HALF THE SIZE OF THE CAMERA, and a Gorillapod to be used in a manner which I don't really want to.
Yup... I'm all ready for the big event.
And then there's this.
Who would even guess that there's a hacked up mobile internet router in this thing?
The Sony CX-150 has a few nifty tricks up it's sleeve. First of all if you buy a cable from Sony, you can directly plug a HARD DISK into the camera and back up the internal memory's contents to said hard disk. Great for transfers during a vacation. Not so great since I tried using my own Mini-B to A Female cable and it didn't work, means the connection is proprietary and I don't want to pay a few hundred bucks for a simple cable.
The other trick the CX-150 can do is while you're recording a video you can just push this little button here.
The photo button, and it'll capture a photo while you're recording video. I'd have love to say you can capture a USABLE photo but I can't... heck I'm not even gonna justify it's existence by putting a sample photo here. It's VERY VERY BAD. It's great for people who aren't sure how to capture a frame off recorded video but other than that.. nope.. not usable at all.
The one last trick the CX-150 can do is pretty nifty... it can take high speed shots for roughly 5 seconds. It basically tries to be one of those high speed cameras. Problem is... you have to switch to this mode, and it can only take 5 seconds, and after taking the 5 seconds, it needs some processing time to make the video. Not so good for spur of the moment clips.
Great if you can setup a scene properly!
After taking the above video, I realized that the Vulcan couldn't fire fast enough (I was happy with the effect of course!) So I gave my brother the Raider to shoot with, but he wasn't experience enough to fire it fast enough. So I offered to shoot him instead, but he declined. I stared at my wife holding the camera but she scowled at me. Where would I find someone who takes delight in being shot by rapid firing Nerf darts? Oh... right... (Warning... scenes of offspring abuse follows)
I was aiming below the head! So I know I won't hit him in the face. :P
I own 2 dedicated video cameras. My first true digital video camera was the Sony SR60.
I got it because at that time I knew as a father I would WANT to have something that can record proper video. And that the SR60 was pretty much the first camera I knew that was spitting out VBR MPEG2 files that I could just easily copy off the camera and manipulate. I definetly DIDN'T want to deal with tape, and I didn't want to deal with direct DVD cameras as well since I knew my videos final destination is the computer and NOT a DVD player.
My other video camera is the Creative Vado.
I grabbed it because I realized the need for a dedicated compact video device which I might want to carry around easily in my pockets. And I have used the Vado in EXTREME situations, I've taped it to a paintball gun before and I've also used it when I went for the SkyTrex experience, it's small size makes it easy for me to consider carry it wherever the need arises. While video is of usable quality, the mic pickup left a lot to be desired.
So I've bought tickets for a legendary musical event next month. And they WELCOME video recordings of their show, and I plan to make FULL USE of that invitation. But I don't know how thrill the venue people might be at the sight of a camera, so I thought about bringing the Vado, but considering that the Vado's audio pickup sucks and I couldn't afford stage side seats, I'd have to bring the SR60 then. But then I told myself, well... it's been awhile since I got the SR60, and there's this whole HD thing going on now. Why don't I indulge and take the opportunity to find a HD camera. I didn't want to spend too much on a pro grade video camera cause it's not like there's a reason I need CRYSTAL CLEAR video, so I was actually thinking of the Creative Vado HD 2nd Gen since from some sample videos it seemed to have better audio pickup.
Then I found this today...
This is the Sony CX-150, yes... I just bought YET ANOTHER Sony camera. This has EXTRA impact when I say it because nearly all (with the exception of the Creative Vado up there) of my Digital Cameras which I have used throughout my life HAS BEEN A SONY! Their cameras just have that extra something which I prefer I guess. So why did I pickup another full blown handy cam instead of my initial mini cam idea? Because the CX-150 is SMALL.
It's almost as long as the SR60 but the CX-150 is much thinner, the only reason it is as thick as it is seems to be to accommodate the lens assembly. Another reason why I choose this over a mini cam is that this is a FULL BLOWN video camera, means it comes with all the frills of a proper video camera ie. Decent audio pickup and OPTICAL ZOOM capability. So I don't sacrifice performance for size with the CX150. And for those of you complaining that it ain't THAT small. Well my definition of portable is that I can stick it into my Dockers Mobile Pant's pocket. ;)
The reason the CX150 can be so small is because it uses Sony Memory Stick Pro DUO (!) or SD HC (phew... class 4 and above only though) media cards for writing it's video to.
But the camera doesn't come with any card because (as you could see in the first photo) it has an onboard flash memory of 16GB. Pretty decent, but it can only hold about 85 minutes on the camera's HIGHEST (it's some weird 1920x1080 24Mbps video, I say weird because it talks about video compatibility issues with hardware players when you switch to that setting) quality setting. Dropping the quality down one notch gives you 115 minutes, and dropping down another notch gives you 230 minutes. At the lowest setting the onboard memory can hold 6 hours worth of video.
But you wouldn't need to worry about that too much since the bundled battery...
Is good for about 125 minutes of continous recording time, LESS if you zoom in and cause it to auto focus during the recording of course. I guess I can force more usage time by turning off the screen during recording.
There's nothing much to talk about the design of the CX150, it's your typical fold out video camera design.
There's really nothing much to say about it. I do need to comment on one thing though. Even though the CX150 is very light, at no time does it feel CHEAP. In your hands it feels like a solid well made gadget. Wish Fujitsu paid attention to this detail when they were making the UH900.
One welcomed change from the SR60 is the fact that the CX150 has all important connection points on the camera itself. The power and analog video sockets on on the right.
Where as the STANDARD mini USB and HDMI connectors are on the left.
They didn't use any flimsy or removable rubber flaps to cover the ports, they made actual doors! I like this because my main gripe with the SR60 was that if I wanted to get files off the camera, not only did I needed to bring the docking station where the mini USB connector was. I also needed to bring the power adapter cause the SR60 won't power up without it! The CX150 has no problems acting as a mass storage drive when connected to the PC without the adapter. Though I don't think it actually draws any power from the USB port so if it's battery is dead you won't be able to connect it to your computer.
One welcome feature that DIDN'T change from my SR60 is the lens.
The CX150's lens design and heck.. I think the lens itself! Remains the same as the SR60. This means that the old wide angle lens I got for the SR60 fits like a dream on the CX150.
Obviously image quality suffers, but it's not like I care anyway I just want to be able to capture WZ when he's standing right in front of the camera! :P There is one little change to how the lens works though. The lens cover has to be MANUALLY opened and closed by a switch on the side
The SR60's lens cover was automatic, so I now need to remember to close the cover or risk lens damage!
I'll upload some video once I have more time to work on it (I managed to capture the Putrajaya Hotair Balloon Fireworks Display!) But I'd have to say the CX150 is a medium quality HD camera, so it can't hold a light to the video quality of higher end cameras. But I don't mind because I'm happy with the performance vs size that I'm getting.
Here's some advice to all of you planning to get a HD video camera.
I don't think I'll upload any FULL SIZED sample video (30 secs already = 75MB, I'd think I'd go over most 100MB limits). Just likely edit it and throw it up to YouTube.
UPDATE : This code doesn't work properly, go here for a properly working one.
I needed to resize an image in Silverlight and then save it out as a JPEG. I could have just used a transform on it then rendered it to a WriteableBitmap but the transforms were optimized for realtime performance and doesn't work too well when you need to maintain quality.
I stumbled upon a Bicubic Resize code in a library called AForge.Net and it was in C#, so it was simple enough for me to convert it to VB for me to use it in Silverlight. And since I DIDN'T find a lot of Bicubic Interpolation .Net resize code on the net, I'm gonna just put this copy up here.
As a bonus I kept on my comments in so you guys can see what was going through my head as I was working my way through the code.
There's one caveat though, I didn't do any Alpha premultiplication with this code, which basically means if your images have a non FULLY opaque region, the results won't be pretty. Here's your homework assignment if you want to have that functionality.
I learnt 2 things while porting this code.
After my little exercise in dabbling with this, THEN I find a WriteBitmapEx library which pretty much seems to be a very useful class for raw manipulation of images in Silverlight, check it out!
Now that I've made my mobile hotspot belt, and then having everyone say... it's a terrorist's suicide belt. My aim was now to make the thing NOT look like I want to blow myself up with it. So again I head down to Daiso to see what kind of weird shit I can find and use.
Why do I love going to Daiso? Because for a crazy person like me, it's a supermarket filled with things I can use for my ideas and all going for a single price of RM5 so I don't have to think too much about how expensive the item I'm cutting up. And also, when I buy something I can think of it's FUNCTION and not of it's PRICE. So.. from today's shopping.
First of is a open ended measuring tape on belt carrying case.
Which I turn into my mobile router carrying case
COMPLETE with easy access holes for the power and USB ports.
A closed version of the measuring tape carrying case.
Is used to house the smaller 6V battery.
An old MiniDisc belt case.
Due to it's stretchable nature, can be used to carry the bigger 6V SLAB.
This is what the belt now looks like when multiple components are attached to it.
More like some dumb ass wearing way too much on his belt, less like some house made explosives. Some wiring is still exposed but most people wouldn't notice it unless they stare at it for too long.
The back of the belt where the power wires run along is covered by some felt and held in place with some velcro strips.
So, less exposed wiring means less people freaking out. :P While the belt works and looks proper now, I found a problem with the construction. The power jack that connects to the mobile router is too loose, it's easily jostled and causes the router to loose power long enough to cause a reset. I'll need to way of securing the power plug to the mobile router if I want to use it this way.
Then I took a quick look back at my little insect cage layout.
And I realized that it's actually a pretty good configuration. First of all, as the components are more or less secured in the cage, they don't jostle around that much and thus the power jack stays put. The reason the router stays put is because of this.
The USB modem almost touches the edge of the cage, so it acts as a support and stops the router from slipping around in the cage.
While the larger 6V battery does slip around if there's too much movement, it's cushioned from the router by the strap securing the router. Unfortunately during my latest testing I noticed that when the router get's uncomfortably hot, heat is transferred to the top of the battery. Not very cool since there's a "Do not overheat above 60 degrees Celsius" warning on the battery. Must see if I can do anything about that.
The cage design also allows for me to reach the power switch to turn the whole system on or off.
I guess I should stop trying so hard to make a wearable mobile router solution, and work more on how to make a proper transportation case for the whole setup so I can just throw it into a bag. :P
Today I went to pick up some parts to complete my Mobile Hotspot Project, first of all I decided to get a smaller sized battery since the one I had original, is big and bulky. So I wanted to get something that's smaller and easier to carry around.
So I got this, 6V 1.2AH battery. My first surprise was that while the battery capacity was about 1/4 of the big battery, it costs TWICE as much! While I was soldering the connection wire I learnt something new. I should solder the connector first, before soldering the wires to the battery. Because I soldered the wires to the battery first while I was soldering the connector... I shorted the connection with my soldering iron, sparks flew! Good lesson...
So after the smaller battery was completed and tested to be working I created the other component which I wanted to make.
A 4AA battery holder, with normal alkaline batteries these would theoretically give out 6V of power which should be more than enough to power the router. I measured the current with a multimeter and got a nice reading of 6.6V, So I went ahead and plugged it to the router. And I was happily surfing the net with AA batteries.... for about 10 minutes. Then the router started flickering on and off, a good indication of low power scenario. I unplugged the batteries and measured the power output and I got... 5.5V!?!?!?
I figured it's because that when an alkaline battery is used out the voltage gradually decreases on a slope. Unlike a rechargeable battery which is at the same voltage for most of it's usable lifespan and then drops. I guess the way is to introduce more power into the loop.
Luckily I was prepared for this scenario. While I was thinking of using AA batteries to power the setup, I was planning to use rechargeable batteries. But.. a rechargeable AA battery only has a voltage capacity of 1.25V, 4x1.25V = 5V. Cutting it a bit close so I thought of an idea, which is to make a power booster to bump up the voltage.
This battery case will be linked in series to the power source it's connected to, boosting the voltage of whatever it's connected to by 3V. Once I plugged this in I can again power the router... for a while, once again I could see a very drastic drop of power in the alkalines once hooked up to the router. It's obvious that alkalines aren't the best source of power to be used in this scenario.
I then decided to work on a power switch so I can turn power on and off when I wanted to without having to disconnect the power source to the component.
You might have noticed that each piece is more or less interchangable. This allows me to have some form of extendable system, for example I can have the router powered by 4AA batteries, as well as controlled by the power switch.
Then if needed to, I can plug in the booster pack.
Depending on the situation, I can plug in an extension wire, and then the lightweight 6V battery.
The reason I needed this extensibility was because I had a crazy idea, and it involves this thing.
A belt strap... cause I want to try and do this.
Hook everything up to it and really carry it around in a portable manner, the problem of course is that if people saw a SLAB strapped to someone, they probably would think that I'm a suicide bomber or something!
Anyone have a good idea to make a belt like this look less like a suicide belt?
There are times when I wish I had more training and understanding about how to build electronic hacks. Especially at times when it involves AC current.
Here I've taken an AC/DC adapter, replaced it's head with a composite jack.
Just so I can charge the SLAB I gotten for my portable hotspot project.
And I don't think I chose a safe spot to do it too!
Well, power should flow from the higher 7.5V of the adapter to recharge the lower 6V of the battery.. I THINK! The charging method matches what Adrian used in his battery extender project. But heck, I'm not sure if I done everything right!
Also, the power adapter is FICKLE!! Sometimes when I turn it on it pumps out 3.5V, sometimes.. it pumps out 7.5V.. it's weird! And... how do I know if the battery is being charged? Well... the adapter was hot for a while. And I think at charge the battery has a 6.5V rating.
Maybe I should abandon project Mobile Belt?
Just one more!
Got a new toy recently. This here is the Sapido GR1102
It's basically a compact internet router.
So you can use this to share a hotel internet connection and what not, just like a normal router. But of course if it was just another compact router, I wouldn't have gotten it. :P
Along with a couple of other features which you can find out about on the product website, the 1st reason that I got the Sapido is that you can do this.
You can plug in a supported USB 3G modem which can then be shared wirelessly. This is especially handy when you got to meetings in other people's offices and you'd rather not (or are not allowed to) connect to their office network to get internet connectivity. You might argue that you could just connect the modem to your notebook and do the same thing, but what if you had multiple people from your office attending the meeting? Even though you can use internet connection sharing in Windows to share the connection, a dedicate device offers better performance... and your machine doesn't wait cycles trying to act as a router.
All this is fine, WHEN you have a power plug to connect to though. That's why here's the other reason I got this nifty little thing.
The GR1102 is able to be powered by 5V delivered via a USB mini cable. Or if you swap out the AC plug with the supplied connector.
You can then power it with DC current ranging from 5V ~ 12V. It sounds GREAT in theory, all I have to do is bundle this along with any one of my USB power supplies and I can be a mobile hotspot wherever I go. But what you can't see is the current requirements. Let me adjust the image so you can see the writing on the power socket more clearly.
It says "5-12V Min 10W". Now how would you go about getting 10W from 5V? It would mean that the power supply would need to be able to deliver 5V 2Amps(!) Checking with the Sapido website I found out that you don't actually need 2A, but rather just 1.5A. This is still a VERY high current requirement. As I mentioned in my car charger article previously. Sometimes it's not just a matter of volts but also amps in order to power your devices. Let me give you some examples of 5V power sources you have access to. Your computer's USB port is rated for 5V 1A, so the Sapido can NOT be powered by just ONE USB port, so you'll need to use a Y cable to power it. A typical USB battery source like what I have, outputs 5V but in varying current ranges from 500MiliAmps (apologies to people who actually know how to write the proper current notation, cause I CLEARLY DON'T!) to 1A. This is because they typically use some form of a 3.7V LiIon battery in them and then boost the voltage to 5V lowering it's current capability as a result.
So after futilely trying out a few other external batteries in the market, I figured I needed to build my own power source, a battery that clearly delivers the required voltage without passing through any voltage converters. I did the math and decided that I could build a battery pack out of EIGHT AA BATTERIES (8 x 1.2V = 9.6V, y 1.2? Rechargable batteries mar!) But I decided to try this first.
This is what we call a SLAB (Sealed Lead Acid Battery), You don't usually see one on it's own like this but it's used in thing's like UPS's, Motorcycles, and other equipment. It's a good choice for powering the Sapido because SLABs have (AFAIK) high current capacity, It's NOT a good choice for portability because SLABs are HEAVY! This one weighs errr.... more than 500 grams less than a kilo.
While SLABs are rechargeable batteries, I don't have any experience in building whatever that will recharge the battery so I referred to Adrian's old battery extender guide since he used a SLAB before. So half an hour later and again reminding myself I have no idea how to solder connector plugs properly I ended up with this.
And it works perfectly!! The battery supplies enough power to the router and I have my mobile hotspot. Or do I? I realized that not many people have actually seen a SLAB before, in fact I'd think that most people would have seen SLABs being used as bomb triggers in movies or TV shows. So I told myself carrying a SLAB with wires and tape all over it might not be such a good idea right now. I head on over to my favorite place for finding weird shit nowadays – Daiso. And I ended up with this.
For those of you who are thinking WTF? This is an INSECT CAGE, I decided to get this one instead of other normal cases because the router can get QUITE hot when in use, so the open ventilation should be sufficient to cold it off. I used the straps from my previous attempt at a car pc to secure the devices.
The 2 things just barely fit into the case itself, I haven't really done a proper test run yet cause I haven't been able to obtain a proper adapter to charge the SLAB and thus I don't know how long the power will last (Unless someone tells me that it's ok to pump 9V into the SLAB to charge it even though it says it's charging voltage is 7.2V) I'm really interested in seeing if the router will melt the cage after prolonged use!
I still remember taking this picture.
This was in 2008, WZ was just slightly over a year old then but he wanted to try and drive. And now...
Soon... soon...
Just wasted my time paying attention to the #WP7Dev hashtag on Twitter just now, I (as well as other developers I think) thought it was to coincide with the announcement of the available frameworks on Windows Phone 7 Series done here. Another interesting thing to find out was that MS is still gonna push WM6.5 hmmmm, most likely WM6.5 is gonna become the preferred Enterprise App developement platform for writing company specific applications and the like, and WP7 for end users. That'll make for an interesting split... we'll see what happens.
So I was right about my predictions on XNA support in Windows Phone 7, I wouldn't call my prediction that Silverlight 4 support is right until they announce it at MIX, this is because from my point of view. The SL4 beta that we have access to is not fully suitable/capable of being an actual client framework yet. Hopefully something will change at MIX '10
Which was my main peeve about the Q&A session just now. They called it a Q&A session, but when most questions could not be answered, or had to be answered with a WFM (Wait for MIX) remark. WHY DID THEY EVEN BOTHER TO CALL IT A Q&A!!!
Just make the announcement on Twitter about the frameworks and leave it at that then, then people won't be pissed when they can't actually get any answers out of you since you never said you'd answer questions!
Kids around my part of the world most likely would know about Masked Rider, basically it's a super hero that fights monsters on a weekly basis, and it has been around for a long long time. The main thing that made it cool for us kids was the transformation belts which the heroes wore, or drivers as they are called. So anyway here's a video of the latest Kamen Rider Double's transformation sequence.
And now... this is how the TOY works.
It pretty much works EXACTLY THE SAME!!! I was really surprised as to how similar it was compared to the one depicted in the show. And then there's the detail of the thing.
It looks almost exactly the same to me. Even the memory modules in the show also look just like the toy. Down to the visible speaker at the top of the unit.
Such good design and detail leads me to one question.
Which came first? The toy or the prop? Cause I think it's sure possible that they designed the toy, ensured how it works. Then made use of the thing in the show. What an impressive way to make a toy which every Kamen Rider watching kid would want!
It's not like I can wear the thing!
