text: Howdy y'all... First and foremost: Please no fanboy responses. I'm looking to upgrade my current phone (original iPhone 2G- jailbroken and unlocked) to either the Samsung Captivate or the iPhone 3GS. I have NO interest in the iPhone 4, so please don't even bring it up. I'd love to hear from people who have used both and can give me a comparison and/or their impressions. How do you feel about Android apps? I know there aren't as many available for the Android as there are for the iPhone... and I've heard that Android apps don't feel as polished as the iPhone's.... but are there any iPhone apps that you'd really miss if you moved over to Android? I would mostly use either phone to play games, surf the web, take photos and as a GPS. I'm comfortable jailbreaking and customizing the iPhone and I would probably be comfortable customizing the Android after reading up on it. Help! I just can't decide!

Cold shoulder
It was subtle, but an encouraging moment all the same.
I was riding up the gondola at Stratton Mountain Sunday morning, protected from the negative temperature atmosphere that howled outside the frosted windows. The reading displayed as low as minus-5 in the car on the way up earlier that morning, before the sun decided to show up for the day. My cohabitants hovering over the Vermont resort's terrain were bundled up in preparation for their first run, eyes peeking out of wrapped-up faces amidst a cloud of steamy breath.
Among those on board were a father and his two sons, each within the age range of 8-10. The boys, helmeted and suited up, shuffled their feet, shifted their poles from hand-to-hand in anticipation of the day's activities, weather be damned. Dad was, it seemed, a little colder.
"You guys know, we're going to have to go in after three runs or so to warm up," he said. "Maybe grab some hot chocolate."
One of the boys said nothing. The other, standing adjacent to me on the moving car, released a puff of haze from his lips, scoffing the mere suggestion of his parent.
"We came here to ski," he said. "Not drink hot chocolate."
I wanted this to be my son.
If there is such a thing as an approval rating amongst strangers on a ski lift, this kid had just hit the jackpot. No offense, Dad, but it seems we came here to ski. It's cold. Damn cold even. Go figure, it's January. Oh, well. Let's roll.
Sadly, if there is also such a thing as a minority, this kid's in it.
That's not to say every nine-year-old kid should want to enjoy the rigors of negative wind chills, frostbitten hands, and chattering teeth. But it's becoming clearer that, in the midst of this New England winter, well, Tom Brady isn't the only one going soft.
We all are.
The perception of the hardened New Englander is becoming a thing of the past, as we continue to spiral downward into a society of whiny, anxious nimrods, grumbling about snow, cold, and whatever other weather comes our way that isn't 79 degrees and sunny. This week, for the second time (maybe even third) this season, Massachusetts schools closed their doors the night before snow even made its way to the area. Not to sound like a codger, but can anyone in their mid-30's remember this happening when they were younger? Even once?
We live in a community with fear of the Doppler, sucking up every word of what the ratings-driven forecasters have to deliver. Most of them cause panic, tossing it back to an anchor desk featuring bubbleheaded "talent" shaking their heads, saying, "Oh, not again." How many of them grew up here, and would seem more apt to shrug their shoulders and take four inches of snow as just another winter day in the Northeast? It has to be a number so low we can count them on one hand. This is where NECN's Tim Kelley gets the props. While his colleagues are warning against the "brutal" conditions even a light dusting can bring, the meteorologist, a Cape Cod native and an avid alpinist, is plainly giddy with anticipation for what the storm means for outdoor recreation.
Recreation for his colleagues in these times comes with a different message: "Stay indoors."
Today's Globe featured a story of locals complaining about the weather, weather apparently they forgot was part of the deal during winter in New England. "I feel like I'm in Minneapolis," one woman is quoted as saying. Apparently in January 2008, she must have felt like she was spending her days on the Miami strip.
Complain, whine. Moan, grumble. It seems it is all way do these days about something nobody can control. Some of us revel in the snow, tracking its every movement and anticipating its arrival for what it means for the sports that fuel passion in our winter lives. Everyone else just carps about the weather. How will they survive until May?
We have become so feeble here in New England, and I'm not really sure who to blame. Part of it belongs with the media for getting everyone into a tizzy every time precipitation nears since it drives ratings. That, in turn, causes everyone to overreact. You name it: schools, parents, the government, they have all seemingly forgotten that you either deal with the elements or you find ways to enjoy them. You don't have to love winter, that's not entirely the message. But our incessant complaining and grouchy persona over its presence is embarrassing to say the least.
I can only hope in a few years that my own son is the one jumping at the foot of my bed at 5 in the morning, flighty over the foot of snow that landed overnight and begging me to take him to the mountains, no matter the elements. And while his classmates are biding their snow day off with video games, Pop Tarts, and nonstop Channel 7 weather "alerts" breaking into morning programming, he and I will have fresh tracks, laughing with our chairlift associates about the stupidity of it all.

Fuengirola, Espana (PressExposure) December 29, 2011 -- Today you can buy absolutely everything online, this is a great way of doing your shopping and everything delivered to your door, no trudging around shops, or stuck in traffic jams, no missing anything you simply can't find on the shop shelves, simply because it is not very well displayed or signposted, just sit in the comfort of your own home and get onto your computer and search for what you want.
A search engine will enable you to find exactly what you are looking for by just entering a word or a few words you will go straight to a choice of websites, and browse at your heart's content. This time of the year when the weather is bad you can be in the warm and dry and order anything you want.
This is especially a bonus when ordering your garden plants; you can browse the Internet and order all your garden seeds, garden shrubs, absolutely everything for your garden NOW ready for next spring's early blooming.
Every keen gardener will know that although winter there is still plenty you can do in the garden, and those that have a garden full of trees will know only too well that this time of year leaves are a problem, and need to be raked up from lawns and cleared from beds, and of course they are perfect for the compost heap.
Gardening since Roman times has been a hobby like no other, and the British are known as a nation of gardeners. It gives you motivation, is a remedy for sleep, and of course it encourages you to use your creative side. Your creativity can bloom like the plants you grow, be different and choose unusual containers to plant your container plants, bulbs or a mixture of bedding plants make a wonderful display in containers.
Plug plants grown for their quality and price by a horticultural business is second to none, they will be strong, and although many gardeners will want to grow their own plugs from seed, there is a lot to be said to purchasing your plug plants from a nursery, and remember they have the perfect conditions to bring on these seedlings.
A spokesman for Blooming Direct said "we are a family run horticultural business and located at Sion Hall Farm in the beautiful parish of St. Saviour on the floral island of Jersey, and our online shopping will give the customer satisfaction in terms of a range of plants such as they have never seen. Our website is user friendly, and potential customers can browse any species of plant life, you can 'drill' down to very specific information about any garden plant you may be interested in. We also have a plant finder tool, which will enable you to find out where to plant, what type of soil is best for a particular plant, how much sunshine it needs and much much more, in this way you can plant what will grow best in your garden".
He went on to say, the best thing about our online shopping facility is that all plants, ordered are very well packed and will arrive on your doorstep in pristine condition, but more importantly all orders shipped to the UK are absolutely FREE".

Two years ago my family was invited to the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. We were so excited but could not pass up the opportunity to make an important statement while there. We chose to use our presence at the event as a means to put pressure on President Obama to sign an executive order banning employment discrimination against LGBT people by federal contractors — an executive order the president had actually promised during his 2008 campaign.
We knew our decision to hold the president accountable would be controversial. We knew it would not be popular. But we also knew how important this executive order was to the job opportunity and job security of countless LGBT workers around the nation.
A lot has changed for my family in the time since our visit to the White House. We moved from New Mexico, which prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, to Florida, where there is no such state-level law. I also find myself unemployed, and I am reminded of not only how tough the job market is but the extra challenges faced by out LGBT people trying to find work.
So I am reminded of the fact that this executive order, while it would not protect every LGBT worker from discrimination, would help so many who live in places where there are no legal protections. I never would have imagined sitting down to write about the continued lack of protections two years after visiting the White House — it seems like such a simple ask.
While legislation for full federal equality is not an option with our current Congress, and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act sits in the House of Representatives, where, in all likelihood, it will remain for some time, I simply cannot understand why a president who has called himself a fierce advocate for the LGBT community still refuses to sign this executive order. In a year declared by the president himself as a "year of action" via executive order, the refusal to sign this particular one is particularly egregious.
One quarter of our nation's workforce is employed by companies contracting with the federal government, meaning that the number of LGBT workers who would be positively affected by the security and peace of mind this executive order would provide is staggering. President Obama, you made a promise you have yet to keep. I teach my daughter it is important to be true to your word, and I'm sure you instill the same value in your own children. So, now that you've won two elections, can we finally see a signature on this executive order? It would mean the world to so many of us if you could simply sign your name — setting an important precedent, keeping your promise, and further paving the way for equality for all.
JARROD SCARBROUGH is a co–state leader of GetEqual in Florida.

Each OS has it's pro's and con's. If you are working in a *nix environment, go with the Mac or some variant of Linux, (I run ubuntu, mostly because it's what everyone else was using when I started.) If you are working in a Microsoft Environment, go with Windows.
I let the servers I work with decide my OS. Makes for better integration.

I wouldn't say I prefer either company over the other, they both do great things and they both do many terrible things. However, generally I prefer Windows (in a dual-boot with Debian or something linux) over OS X for general use, while at work, which is for the most part a *nix environment, I love my Mac. For phones, iOS all the way >

I've been using Windows as my main PC since I started computer, with the occasional Linux here and there. For my internship though, I have to use a Mac. And it has been just infuriating me most of the time. Some of the simple things I could do in Windows are not on it... there's nothing in there like Notepad, except maybe Xcode but that's a little bit overkill. I hate how everything autosaves... I was cleaning up large chunks of code, and deleting them from the text file as I was going to keep track of what I was doing, and it autosaved which meant that I essentially deleted the code -- I had to grab a clean copy and start again. Then I try to save a file in a folder I created and could not for the life of me get it to save outside of the main user folders. THEN I was trying to take a look at some of the system files on Finder since I find it easier to work with chunks on them than on bash, and I had to do a bunch of crap just to get it to work; in the end, I basically forced it using bash. Gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I do like the touchpad, though. Fancy.
In terms of phones, though, I think Apple stomps based on their marketplace. Not a huge fan of either of their actual devices or interfaces, though, I'm an Android guy.

At one time, I worked for an Architectural/Engineering firm that had Apple computers for timekeeping/scheduling, Linux for their proprietary CAD software, and Windows on Linux for AutoCad. It was a real joy to jump through all those hoops!? NOT! Oh yes, and trying to use AutoCad, Microstation, and their proprietary CAD to create drawings could become confusing...good thing they went belly-up...

I am utterly disgusted at these choices. Microsoft for laptops and desktops, Samsung for all my mobile needs(Android is the beast). And any other thing is Linux. I refuse to even touch an "apple" without gloves. :|)
George Williams

Who said I thought Samsung was Android? what if I meant I like Samsung because of Android? An like Android because I like Linux? Please stop making assumptions.
George Williams

Really? Disrespectful language?
And your still misinterpreting and making assumptions. If I said:
"I prefer android(Samsung Is the beast)"
Then that would mean I an referring to Samsung as the reason I like android but I know that other phones like HTC use it so I wouldn't say that. Instead I put Android in the brackets because I like Samsung because of Android.
Listen, we don't make progress if we disrespect each other so I'm going to stay away from whatever forum responses you make because you don't seem to be able to handle correction.

Lol. According to Apple though, it doesn't affect those who don't mess with the default settings for their version of bash(if not bash then default settings for something because they seemed reluctant to say) because it prevents remote exploits. It also affects Android but not Google's version because of a different type of bash they use.
About 17,000 machines were compromised after they announced the bug, I wonder how much of those are Apples , is the reason the NSA didn't try to stop the Iphone 6 because they knew the bug> Well, just like the Tootsie pop, "The world will never know:"

Honestly if I had to pick one, I will probably choose Microsoft. I don't like what Apple is doing right now. They are copying others. Also, OSX isn't compatible with anything and you are paying 1000$ for a computer you could buy for 500$ (and it would be better). But if I could pick one that isn't on the list, I will either pick Samsung or Google

I still remember the conversation between the five of us like it was yesterday.
Rob, Mike and myself were dish dogs — the fast-moving crew who cleaned and organized the plates, glasses and silverware at Glenbrook Country Club. Jeff was an enlightened soul disguised as a waiter, slightly older than us, the only member of the waitstaff who regularly took time to converse with the grunts. Bill was the middle-aged night manager, a quiet, intense guy we all rather liked and the closest thing to a real adult in the place after 11 PM.
It was my junior year of high school. December was an exciting time and that excitement was organically doubled by the pure fact of being 17 years old. We dish dogs worked hard, sacrificing most of our high school weekends laboring into the wee hours of the morning in the confines of that brightly-lit industrial kitchen. At the end of each shift, usually around two in the morning, we'd make a final sweep of the banquet hall, a tradition that carried a dreamy, detached peacefulness, especially when snow would quietly drift beyond the wall of windows — often our first glimpse of the outside world in hours.
Looking back at that time 22 years later, I'm amazed at the chemistry of our team. In all the work environments I've had in my adult life, nothing has matched it – but then again,that may simply be an attribute of being 17 more than being a cohesive team. Who knows?
Back to this particular conversation.
It was early in the month and an especially spirited holiday party was wrapping up later than normal – 3 AM. It had been snowing all day and into the night. We had all been working 16 hours straight between two parties. While waiting for the last of the revelers to find their way home, we took a satisfying break in the steamy dish room. Bill and Jeff pulled up chairs. Rob, Mike and myself straddled wine glass dish racks as improvised seats. For a while, no one spoke.
"You guys, you don't know how good you have it," Bill said — a rare moment of genuine depth from our otherwise stoic boss. "Me, I'm stuck here, but you guys — you'll all get out this kitchen. A lot of guys your age… they've got nowhere to go. You guys though, you'll do alright."
Normally this was an invite for a smarmy remark at Bill's expense but this was the closest thing we'd ever gotten to an actual complement. Plus, our brains were dizzy with cleaning products and the lingering stench of uneaten shrimp cocktail. And it was late. Jeff spoke up in his trademark calm voice on behalf of the dish dogs.
"What makes you think that, Bill?"
"You guys worked your asses off tonight, just like you do every night," Bill replied, "Every fuckin' night, you guys come in here and I expect one of you to tell me to stick it up my ass and walk out, but you never do. You guys never complain — I mean really complain. Some people, complain their whole lives, you know? Not you guys. You make this shit fun."
Bill clapped his hands down on his thighs, stood up and glanced out the tiny vertical windows in the swinging kitchen doors that looked out into the ballroom, then looked back at us.
"You guys will be alright," Bill said. Then a pause. "You got five minutes before the last pick up."
Comradery can be found in the strangest places. Within the context of that small world, we really were a great team. And the world would soon be bigger and we would all go on to great things, all of us. Maybe even Bill. A big celebration was waiting on the other side of that metaphorical door. We could hear the music and laughter.
I think about this as Thanksgiving is approaching. Thanksgiving, literally, is a good excuse to revisit our past selves and offer gratitude for the fact we are still here, still dreaming, and if we're lucky, we've done alright for ourselves. I wish I could say that Bill's prediction had been spot-on. It wasn't.
It's 2015. Rob and Mike are gone — neither made it to 40.
Mike was overwhelmed by PTSD after a series of difficult deployments in the Middle East. His pain ended at age 29. Last year, I was saddened to hear Rob had passed away, by circumstance of a predictable, oncoming passenger train. He was 39.
The country club itself foundered under poor leadership but persisted for four more years after Bill's unexpected declaration. At the final party, I was the most veteran staff member present. It snowed that night as well. The country club has since re-opened under a new name.
As for Bill, I saw him many years later — my senior year of college, 1998 to be precise — five years since our conversation. It was at a gas station on a blisteringly cold, windy, winter's day. He recognized me, but not I him. He had aged considerably, was missing several teeth and there was barely a familiar feature to be found on his gaunt frame.
"Jimmy! Hey man, how are ya?! It's Bill Jenkins," he said in a raspy voice with none of the austerity his former position once afforded. He knew he might be unrecognizable and he was right. This was a guy I worked with for five years.
Life had been hard to Bill. His wife left him, jobs went away, he was getting by. Sort of. He looked bad. I ended up giving him 20 dollars.
"Jimmy, man, Merry Christmas. You keep it up," were his parting words. What "it" was I was to keep up he didn't specify. It was the last time I saw him.
And so… 2015. Not long ago, I reconnected with Jeff on Facebook. A mentor and friend, he's living an incredible life — including tours as a smoke jumper in Yosemite and a world traveler — and now is the proud father of two beautiful girls and married to a wonderful woman. He turned out alright.
As for me, I'd like to think I've done ok as well. The gap between my dish dog days and today hasn't always been easy but I'm still here — who knew that would count as a major victory? I've endured as a writer and finally, six months from my 40th birthday, there's a sense of real identity, that a few of those crazy dreams of my youth are being dragged into existence. The journey of the years in between… they are gone in a flash.
Life is like that — a nearby celebration, a dreamy aftermath, a furnace of dreams and potential. I have learned it is folly to anticipate or predict glory for ourselves or others; it will happen organically in places like sweaty dishrooms at three in the morning. The real moments, the breaching of normalcy into a fraction of grace, that happens of its own accord. If we're lucky, those moments compile into an all-right life, a life to be thankful for.

Please select your title
Letters or punctuation only please

Please enter your surname
Please enter a valid email address
Please enter your email address
UK telephone numbers only
Please enter your telephone
The Mirai is a luxury vehicle and is available in a single high grade specification priced at £66,000 on the road but the supply is limited and there are also specific practical and use considerations that may impact the Mirai ownership experience. We want to ensure maximum customer satisfaction and therefore the Mirai is only being sold directly by Toyota (GB) following full qualification of prospective customers.
Vehicles are only being introduced where suitable 700bar hydrogen refuelling stations exist. Therefore, requests to purchase a Mirai can only be considered from prospective customers who will use the vehicle in these areas. Currently this is in the South East London area and Swindon.
As new stations open we will consider supply in these areas and we can keep you updated on these developments.
The Mirai's normal operating range is approximately 300 miles and refuelling only takes about 3 minutes which is very convenient. If drivers are likely to need to travel beyond the range, the Mirai would not be practical due to current limited infrastructure.
Due to these implications, you cannot place an order directly with a Toyota dealership. Instead, Toyota (GB) Plc have implemented a selection process to ensure that the Mirai is the right match for prospective customers – and vice versa.
Once we have been able to review your details we will give you a call to discuss how we can help. As supply is limited and there are a number of considerations, we aim to contact you within 3 working days.

Accelerometer-logger With SD-card Memory
Introduction: Accelerometer-logger With SD-card Memory
A logger unit for measure forces on a roller coaster and save them to a SD-card.
It's also possible to modify the software in the unit so it can measure other things if it can be connected to a i2c-bus.
Top Thrill Dragster
Step 1: Introduction
This is the fifth version of this unit (I know it's named v3, the fourth was called v3310 :) , it has also been a v0).
I have been working on this project in my spare time over two years now.
I use a LIS3LV02DQ from ST-Microelectronics to measure the forces, a uALFAT from ghielectronics.com to manage the SD-card, a HCMS2915 display and a PIC16F876 to control every thing. I also use a Canon NB-4L battery ( the same model i have in one of my cameras) to power the unit.
BOM (aka what you need) :
a PCB (a gcprevue-file to download)
a piece of Plexiglas 72.3x57x8 mm to the battery compartment
a piece of Plexiglas 3 mm thick to the front window
soldering iron with a small tip 0.4mm
some drills
some mill bits
thread cutter M3
Super glue and some regular glue stick
a X-Y table from Proxxon
a bench mounted drill
a battery (I use a CANON NB-4L).
a Microchip PICkit2 programmer.
a aluminum case 1455B802BK ELFA.se
a broken camera to get a battery connector from
and some surface and hole mounted components (BOM-file below).
Step 2: Prepare the PCB.
The PCB is in three parts and have to be separated before they can be populated with components.
(The new PCB layout has every thing cut out if it's ordered from a board-house and just needs to be broken apart.)
Step 3: Populate the PCB.
Start to populate the three PCBs. The 2 32KHz crystals has to be super glued to the PCB.
The trickiest part to solder was the sensor, that have all the connections on the bottom of the component (I borrowed the x-ray @ work to check that the soldering was perfect :) ).
Step 4: Mill Out the Plexiglas.
Start to glue a printout of the mounting drawing on to the Plexiglas using a glue stick.
Then start to measure and mill out space for the components that are to high.
Drill and cut threads in the four holes for the PCB.
Mill out the space for the battery ( you can use almost any camera battery, but it should not be bigger than 45x38x6.5mm).
Then mill out space for the battery connector ( the connector comes from a broken CANON camera :) ).
And finally mill out a canal for the sensor cable so when you pull the cable the connector don't damage.
Create a front window of 3mm thick Plexiglas.
Step 5: Final Preparations
Connect the battery and check that +3.3v_1, +3.3V_2 and +1.8V is correct.
Load the character map in to the external memory, then load a testing software to the uP to see if the unit is starting.
Prepare the sensor-board, it just need the sensor, some capacitors and a couple of wires.
Then connect the cable between the sensor and the main unit and check that the sensor is working.
The last thing to do is mount the uALFAT-chip and connect the SD-card.
Mount the PCB to Plexiglas with 4 screws.
Now you are ready to measure the forces in your car, bike and of course roller coasters. :)
Step 6: Conclusions
So far my brother and I have measured about 200 roller coasters in Europe, Asia and USA.
The unit is versatile platform to use for logging data that is collected from sensors that is connected though a i2c-bus, the only modification to do is in the software logging-loop.
The files the unit is creating is csv-format that is simple to create graph from in ex. Excel.
The next thing to do is make a new sensor that can measure more that +/-6g in the Z-axis.
ThemeParkReview forum post
Ride Guide
Do you happen to have a schematic for this? I'd like to try remaking it with mostly through hole components.
How did you make that ? Coz I'm looking for an observational graph of the logged values that I've but don't have any platform for it.Can you help for the same ?
I really like this project, but my skills arent good enough to make this. If I paid you, would you build one of these for me?
X is Forward Backward(roller coaster car speeding up/slowing down) Y is Left Right(turning etc.) Z is up down(falling sensation) P.S. someone correct me if I'm wrong
Just to follow up with one accelerometer you will only get reliable displacement not rotation(turns), you can try with one but you will get better results with a gyro, compass(if you only care about rotation with respect to the ground it makes the math simpler) or second accelerometer.
To further explain imagine two paths of travel; one strait along the x axis with rotation about the Z axis the sensor will read this as altering acceleration and reverses along the X and Y axises(plot the sin and cos of x to visualize the sensor data), the second starts traveling along the X axis then begins to decelerate to a stop at the same time acceleration along the Y axis begines and reaches maximum just at the point travel on the X axis stop.
So given your accelerometer data did you just rotate a quarter step while riding the train or did you just get hit by it while traveling down the road? I say this from the perspective of having played with an accelerometer and a holonomic drive system at the same time, both paths of travel are equally likely, sometimes you just need another sensor/data point.
You have completely right. To explain some more: Red: Linear G Chest to Back is denoted +gx Red: Linear G Back to Chest is denoted -gx Green: Lateral G Right to Left is denoted +gy Green: Lateral G Left to Right is denoted -gy Blue: Positive G Head to Foot is denoted +gz Blue: Negative G Foot to Head is denoted -gz Marcus
Hi, I´m civil engineer from mexico city and I do structure health monitoring, could you tell me if this great idea can function in the things that I do, I have a lot of questions, I appreciate if you contact me to firstname.lastname@example.com, thank you and well job
Wow... this thing looks really complicated... that 1st picture is awesome by the way. :-)
Hi Lond, i want make my compliments for the project. where i can buy a special Pcb project board?
Nice project and a very good idea to make the large hole under the QFN package - I guess this is to make hand soldering of the centre pad possible :-)
PCB Police
And when you solder a QFN you have to raise the QFN ~0,25mm from the pcb, I use a strip from a label that I have removed the glue from. Then use lots of flux to solder 2 sides of the QFN, inspect your soldering, if you are satisfied then remove the strip of label and solder the other 2 sides after that you can solder the center pad of the QFN. I usually inspect my soldering on my QFN in a x-ray machine at work to be on the safe side :)
Nice project. I've been wanting to make something like this, but it looks like a lot of work, especially since I don't have access to a milling machine. is ther a simpler way to make this that doesn't use an SD card?
My milling machine is just a drill press and a x-y-table. My first versions used 3 i2c memories, one for each axis. The drawback for using memories to store the measurements is that you can only store one session and then you have to transfer the data to a computer or some other memory backup. Because of this i use SD-memory card, i can have more than 65000 logs on the card. // lond
Is there any way that I can contact the originator of this (Accelerometer-logger with SD-card memory)project? Or can they contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
The viewer software have a max limit of $FFFF (65535) rows of data in the files. So i have set the unit to stop logging when reaching $FF00 (65280) rows. That means that i get ~10min of data, but i can put a delay between each measurement if i want to measure longer, 1sec between each measurement gives ~18h so i could log my suitcase from Sweden to Japan.
If you have a Mac laptop, give this a try:
(I wrote it a while back, and am planning on making some major improvements)
(written in java)
I have sent the link to my brother thats owns a mac and he tested the software. His iBook G4 didn't like it, the screen flickered and the software didn't fit the screen, What he could see was that the software uses the internal g-sensor of the laptop and the laptop don't like riding rollercoaster :(
Nice work! Very professional. Of course, now you need some decent signal processing on this data as well. One place to start may be to smooth all three signals to more clearly see the overall movement of the rollercoaster cart (in principle, you could even use these signal to reconstruct the entire layout of the rollercoaster by "dead reckoning"). Complementary to that, you can also quantify the amplitude of the high-frequency signal you've smoothed out, as a measure of how jittery/bumpy the ride is. The first depends on the layout of the rollercoaster, the second on the quality/smoothness of the track and the cart wheels.
I have a ECC-member that are helping me with this. He have created a viewer for the log files. The viewer can rotate the axis, create screen shoots and even subtitles for your POV-movie :) . Next step is to build in noise reduction etc.
A very interesting project! Can you make the viewer software available for download please?
This is a brilliant project!
You could set yourself up as a coaster-guru: Oh, this coaster is the best because the g-forces are such-and-such...
Very cool. I've been thinking of doing something like this with the addition of a GPS chip (sparkfun.com sells a GPS chip the size of a postage stamp) and fit it inside an altoids tin. It'd be useful on go-karts, motorcycles, etc. to get telemetry data and generate a complete map of your course. The accelerometer should be accurate enough to get the 0-60 time and the GPS gives current speed with an acceptable error level.
sweet... so you use this to log the intensity of roller coasters that you have been on?
Yes. My brother and I have logged almost 200 roller coaster now. Next year it will be 80 more coaster logged :)
Tough job, man. One roller coaster per year is enough for me. 200? Ridiculous!.. :-))) Great work! I admired your neat job, very well done!.. K.

For the holiday season, Rockstar has revealed some fun and festive features for "GTA Online." This includes a new Adversary mode, which is called the Juggernaut, new weather-based events, and plenty of gifts.
According to Game Rant, Rockstar Games has decidedly put festive content, but fans are still more interested in the addition of the new Adversary mode, Juggernaut. Basically, the mode will put teams against each other, with one of the players from each team taking the role of the Juggernaut.
The main objective of the game is to kill off the Juggernaut in order to win. However, it is easier said than done as the Juggernaut sports both heavy weapons and armor, making them really tough to kill. However, if no team was able to take down the Juggernaut of the opposing team, Sudden Death rules will apply, transforming everyone to Juggernauts, and the first player to kill anyone will net them a win for their team.
Also, aside from the all-new Adversary Mode, there is also a plethora of holiday-themed fun for the users. The players who logged in on Christmas Day were able to get a Unicorn Mask and a set of pajamas, with the latter being available in either White Graphic or Blue Checks.
Weapons and armors are also given out to the players who want something more practical. Also, players who logged in on Dec. 23 to 26 were also able to receive some good rewards. Additionally, according to Eastern Daily News, players can also engage in snowball fights by equipping themselves with up to nine snowballs at a time.
Meanwhile, "GTA Online" will continue to release new content despite the fact that most people's attention is turned towards "Red Dead Redemption 2." This is due to the fact that its multiplayer mode is still immensely popular among players.

This morning I got off work, after having been on nights for 8 months. Working all night long sucks. We work 4 month rotations. Last rotation, I was expecting to go to day shift, and on the last night, my supervisor informed me that I was "being traded." So what should have been 4 months turned into 8. That sucked.
So now, I'm working days. Yeah.

David Livingstone, Don Meserlian on Truth Jihad Radio!
First hour: David Livingstone, the author of Surrendering Islam: The Subversion of Muslim Politics Throughout History Until the Present Day, is a Canadian Muslim writer. He argues that Islam has been thoroughly infiltrated by agents of the British empire and the Illuminati. They created the Saudis and Wahhabis, who use their oil money to foster two distortions of Islam. One is resigned to political or social injustice. The other spouts jihadist rhetoric. It's all part of a long-term Clash of Civilizations planned by the empire, along the lines of the Three World Wars.
Second hour: Don Meserlian, "Citizen's Campaign for a 9/11 Grand Jury Investigation in 2010." Don Meserlian, an engineer and activist, originated the campaign to obey the Misprision of Treason statutes and report 9/11 treason to duly constituted authorities. (Check out my discussion of the Misprision of Treason campaign with Richard Gage and Jonathan Mark...listen to the archived show here.)
Don recently sent out this press release:
As National Leader of the "Citizen's Campaign for a 9/11 Grand Jury Investigation in 2010" I intend to have my members contact the attorney generals of all 50 states and ask them to do what the N.J. A.G. has done: apply heat to both Andrew Cuomo, N.Y. A.G. and the State U.S. Attorney to stop obstructing justice and to obey the law of "Misprision of Treason" and convene a Grand Jury Investiation to determine who planned and executed the controlled demolition of the Twin Towers and WTC 7, using nano thermite (a U.S. military lab controlled explosive) to demolish these builings 9/11/01. This is too important and timely a subject to "drop the ball". Please phone (973) 228 - 2258 to state whether you will or will not print this News Release. If the mainstream press refuses to report the truth I will ask the "underground" newspapers to do so.

Are you aware of the fact that most of your programs alerts arrive post broadcast? As I stand blasted in the bar on this Friday evening, I decided to check in and share the essence of this program, and it is not apparent at and thus is mute.
Your lofty admirers needs a "heads-up" to alert their accolades to your pending largess in salient stimulation for further articular across and beyonding the nation!
Another thing your reply to the paranoid was on target in the to the psychotic executioners of US imperial policy wherever the fuck they are hapless sent.
I am very hopeful, their is "no honeymoon" with a fucking thing! We have to decisively bold as to be comprehensive radical that their is no fucking doubt that their is another clarion call of consciousness that is not compromised bv obsequious supplications to an imperial plutocracy by affording them any deference due to station or acclaim; but to fight every shrill shell of the in-bedded enemy in all venues regardless of misbegotten bona fides! After all, Obama is the psychopathic war criminal in-chief.
Yes, I must remind you of question in the post I made this week on the blog; How in the fuck did the DoD turn a 5% to 90% between WWII and Viet Nam?
And the civilian mindset in juxtaposition. This is a paramount issue as far as political apathy, "manufacturing consent" and the wars of this our nation!?
"The Middle is counter-revolutionary, and containment agents of the status quo! We, need not concentrate on them as allies, but as examples of the craven contamination of the social evolution toward political and economic equality!
OK, I am loaded, blasted, and inspired! My heart's desire is calling me to come on home and give/get-it-up! My heart races, and Southern California is about to endure another dose of shock therapy from Malibu to Venice, albeit that I am purged from KPFK, which is no shame, but glorius, as being purged from a harlot university in Madison for you. Dance and sing, you are an honorable man, no blood on your hands, no coward to any man!
Kevin, you have arrived, you truly are, "the man" and I love you, no easy feat, ask a bevy of babes on Ocean Front Walk (Venice).
What about Ralph Schoenman? Have you ever listen to any of his programs? He was were we are now... over 50 years ago!!! His wife Mya Shone) co-host his weekly Pacifica Radio program on WBAI in NYT on Tuesday at 2pm PT. , you will love them! And he gets preempted for those atrocious fund drives which I had to endure on KPFK for over 5 years as a programmer who was way the fuck beyond everyone in fearlessly articulation of the need for changing the system by the sole solution of, Pure Democracy, to counter the imperial plutocracy.
My regards to your charming wife, and if your kids are no more active than mine; I understand!

Peace Kevin,ReplyDelete
I agree with your philosophy that it is incumbent upon every Muslim to seek the truth for themselves and to also question what they have been taught. In fact, the Quran states on numerous occasions that we are to think.
Unfortunately it is ignorant Muslims like
David Livingstone and their like that blindly follow the Madhabs and use the excuse of not being experts to blindly follow that is and has been the main reason for the downfall of Islam. Once Muslims stopped thinking for themselves and started to blindly rely on "scholars" it not only stunted their spiritual growth, but also solidified erroneous interpretations of the Quran and Islam. This lack of questioning also directly lead to a stunting of Muslim growth in all intellectual matters including the sciences.
Frankly, almost nothing of what David Livingstone said made any sense.
I have Muslim friends who are pro-Madhab and others who are Salafi, and find that both groups have some good ideas. But at the end of the day I agree with Anonymous that we need to think and question, which is partly what the Qur'anic injunction to "reflect!" is about.ReplyDelete
I do think there may be some truth to some of David's claims, but he seems to exaggerate them and weave them into an all-embracing conspiracy theory in the pejorative sense -- the idea that all of history is being completely controlled by illuminati and the whole Islamic revival is one big illuminati plot. I may be a professional "paranoid conspiracy theorist" but I do take a more nuanced view of how things work. The City of London bankers, the illuminati and their British agents, etc. may have a lot of power, and they're probably trying to steer the Islamic revival to benefit themselves, but I don't think they created it or completely control it.
But I need to read David's book to gain a more informed opinion.

USA: Who are the Guantánamo detainees? Case Sheet 14: Canadian National: Omar Khadr.
Omar Khadr was taken into US custody when he was 15 years old after being wounded during a battle in Afghanistan. After detention at Bagram airbase, he was transferred to Guantánamo Bay where he has been interrogated by US and Canadian officials. The US government has classified him as an "enemy combatant". He is to be tried by military commission. This case sheet calls upon US and Canadian authorities for his release or to be given a fair trial and to ensure an independent investigation into the Canadian Government's involvement as well as other concerns about the Guantánamo detainees.

Spring Cleaning? What About Intestinal Parasites?
Spring is traditionally a time for cleaning. This was well-recognized by European herbalists who used a number of herbs as "spring tonics" or "spring cleansers." Many of these spring tonics provided much needed vitamins after a lengthy period of consuming stored foods. But they also included the depurative herbs (herbs which clean the blood by unknown mechanisms) and herbs for promoting digestion, including the bitter herbs wormwood and gentian. Wormwood, as the name implies, was also traditionally used to treat gastrointestinal worm infestation. So it could be that this aspect was also part of the use of spring tonics.
Whether this is the case or not, it is true to say that the plant world has long provided options to assist in the control of intestinal parasites. A few of the more popular herbs are viewed below, together with a significant and highly active anthelmintic herb from Traditional Chinese Medicine. But the main thrust of this review is to suggest that synergistic activity via a combination of these key herbs (with other herbal treatments as well to support digestion and immunity etc.) will yield the best results.
Artemisia absinthium is well known to herbalists with particular application to treating nematode infestation, especially infestation with Enterobius or Ascaris.1,2 Wormwood has been used as an anthelmintic since ancient times and is currently utilized in many countries throughout the world for this purpose. Wormwood tincture is employed in the West Indies as a worm preventative.3 Wormwood has also been used for the de-worming of horses, cows and sheep.4,5
Key Constituents
Constituents of the aerial parts of wormwood include bitter substances (sesquiterpene lactones, mainly absinthin) and an essential oil containing mainly terpenes. The essential oil contains the potentially toxic monoterpene thujone and for this reason the recommended therapeutic doses of wormwood should not be exceeded.6
Anthelmintic Activity
In vitro wormwood aqueous extract demonstrated anthelmintic activity towards the nematode Trichostrongylus colubriformis.7 Thujone is also implicated in the anthelmintic activity of wormwood. Experiments carried out in Edinburgh in 1955 indicated the efficacy of thujone in eliminating Ascaris lumbricoides.8
Other Related Activity
Wormwood aqueous extract and alcohol extract strongly inhibited the in vitro growth of the parasitic protozoa Naegleria fowleri. The sesquiterpene lactone fraction isolated from the alcohol extract was also active.9
Wormwood powder (1.5 g/day) provided effective treatment for acute intestinal amebiasis in an uncontrolled trial of 20 patients. Symptoms were relieved and 70% of cases were cleared of the protozoa Entamoeba histolytica according to stool analysis.10
Wormwood is also used to treat other gastrointestinal conditions such as appetite loss, disturbed digestion, flatulence and disordered bile flow.11 Clinical trials have demonstrated the ability of wormwood to increase the flow of gastric enzymes, pancreatic enzymes and bile.12,13
Black Walnut Hulls
A globular fruit is produced from the black walnut tree which contains a corrugated nut in its yellowish-green hull (also called husk or fruit wall). Upon ripening the hull softens and turns dark brown to black due to chemical oxidation. A decoction of the hull of Juglans nigra fruit has been used traditionally to expel worms.2
Key Constituents
The unripe hulls of Juglans nigra contain 1,4-naphthoquinones including juglone and plumbagin.14 The juglone content in hulls varies with different cultivars and different months of growth.15
Anthelmintic Activity
In vitro studies indicate that plumbagin inhibited the motility of and hatching of Haemonchus contortus first stage larvae. Plumbagin was larvacidal towards Ascaris suum at the highest test concentration (100 mM). Partial inhibition of embryonic development of A. suum occurred with plumbagin.16 The authors suggested that because of the relatively high doses required for the maximal effect on inhibiting the development of larval stages, plumbagin may not find practical application. The combination with other anthelmintic herbs would however, boost the activity of plumbagin.
Radix Stemona, the tuberous root of Stemona sessilifolia, Stemona tuberosa or Stemona japonica, is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) mainly for the treatment of acute and chronic cough. Externally it is used for the treatment of fungal infections, lice infestation and as an enema for pinworm infestation.17-19 In addition to its primary use for the treatment of cough, in Vietnam Stemona japonica root is prescribed for Ascaris infestation and is used externally to treat scabies (mite infestation).20
Key Constituents
A series of complex alkaloids have been isolated from the root of these Stemona species.21The unusual and complex alkaloids exist only in Stemona plants and in a few related species and include tuberostemonine and stemonine.22
Anthelmintic Activity
Tuberostemonine, an alkaloid isolated from Stemona sessilifolia, S. tuberosa and S. japonica root,21 paralyzed the motility of Angiostrongylus cantonensis in vitro and showed contractive effects on the motility of Dipylidium caninum and Fasciola hepatica. The experimental anthelmintic activity of crude extract of Stemona may be due to the action of tuberostemonine23 and related alkaloids.
One hundred and forty cases of ancylostomiasis (hook worm infestation) were treated with the herb. After 3 months, follow-up examination of 110 cases revealed a negative rate of 94.5%. Another group of 48 cases was effectively treated with the herb decoction; 116 worms, all from the duodenum, were expelled. However, the same method did not show any anthelmintic effects in later trials.24Alcoholic extracts will probably work better than decoction.
The suppository prepared from the herb was used to treat 40 children with oxyuriasis (infestation with a type of nematode); 16 of them were cured. Twenty-seven out of 63 cases were cured by the herb powder. Dosage: Suppository — (12.5 g each). One suppository was inserted into the rectum at 8 pm, another at 10 pm every night for one week, then every other night for another week. Powder — 1.5 g 3 times daily for 3 days.24
Clove Bud Essential Oil
The dried, unopened flower bud of Syzygium aromaticum has been used in Ayurveda and Western herbal medicine as a carminative and aromatic.2,25 It has recently been popularized as a worm treatment. Therapeutic indications for clove bud include nausea, flatulence, dyspepsia and to assist the action of other herbal remedies.2,25,26
In traditional Thai medicine the essential oil is used as a carminative and to treat stomach ache, in addition to the well-known topical application of toothache.27 In Indonesian traditional medicine clove oil is taken with beer to protect against abdominal pain! Clove bud is also used in this traditional system to alleviate flatulence.28
Key Constituents
Key constituents of clove bud include an essential oil (15-20%, consisting mainly of eugenol, eugenol acetate, beta-caryophyllene), flavonoids, tannins and phenolic acids.29 Eugenol is a major constituent of clove bud essential oil (80-85%).30
Anthelmintic Activity
Clove powder demonstrated potent anthelmintic activity in vitro towards Pheretima spp. (earthworms). At this time earthworms were used as a model to investigate anthelmintic activity. Suspension of clove powder was more than 5 times more potent than a water extract of cloves and clove powder was 4.5 times more potent than powdered fresh garlic. Suspension of clove powder was 7.3 times more active than the anthelmintic drug piperazine, whereas the water extract of clove was of similar potency.31 Piperazine is an anthelmintic drug which has been used to treat pinworm and roundworm infections in humans for decades.
Both the water and methanol extracts of clove bud were strongly active in a nematocidal assay.32 The assay used the second-stage larva of the roundworm Toxocara canis, which at the time of the study was highly resistant to anthelmintic drugs. The relative movability (RM) value compares the extent of movement of the test population which has been exposed to the anthelmintic agent with the movability of the control sample. Strong activity was defined as a RM value of 0 (at which all larvae are dead). A value of 100 indicates no activity (no disabling effect on the larvae), and increasingly lower RM values approaching 0 indicate stronger activity of the extracts against the larvae.
A value of 0 was obtained for clove methanolic extract at both concentrations (1 mg/mL, 10 mg/mL) and both time frames (6 h, 24 h) and for water extract (10 mg/mL) at 24 hours. Piperazine produced a RM value of 32 for 1 mg/mL after 24 hours of incubation in the same assay and other anthelmintic drugs such as phenothiazine produced a RM value of 0 under the same conditions. Eugenol produced a RM value of 0 at 1 mg/mL at 24 h, and a value of 50 at the lower concentration of 0.1 mg/mL after the same time period. The nematocidal activity of eugenol has been confirmed in another study using the same assay.33
Clove oil killed Anisakis spp. larva in vitro.34 Eugenol also demonstrated potent anthelmintic activity towards Caenorhabditis elegans in vitro35 and Rhabditis macrocerca and Ascaris suum in vitro and in vivo in mice (route unknown).36
Potential for Synergistic Anthelmintic Activity
The phenomenon known as bursting of worm larvae occurs when the outer covering of the larva is torn, resulting in protrusion of its intestine. Nematocidal assays can discover active principles that cause the killing and/or bursting of worm larvae. A constituent that has no nematocidal activity may produce bursting when combined with a nematocidal agent.
Eugenol caused bursting of worm larvae in the Toxocara assay described above.32 The activity of eugenol on its own was relatively weak (11%) but it caused marked bursting of worms (90-91%) when combined with tannins (either condensed or hydrolyzable (tannic acid)). Tannins are not larvicidal by themselves, but they cause bursting when combined with a larvacidal compound, as has been demonstrated in the same assay previously.37 In order to cause bursting, coexistence of both the anthelmintic compound and the bursting factor is necessary. The bursting activity of tannins (when combined with the suitable larvacidal substance) increased with increasing degree of condensation for condensed tannins and with increasing proportion of phenolic groups for hydrolyzable tannins.
From similar nematocidal studies investigating other essential oil components it was concluded that eugenol in combination with tannins can, even at lower concentration than its MLC (minimum lethal concentration), cause the bursting of worms if a large amount of (another) nematocidal constituent is present. (MLC was defined as the lowest concentration producing a RM value of 0 after 24 hours incubation, determined for eugenol as 0.33 mg/mL.)32
Conclusions from this and other studies by the same research team indicate that:
• a balance between the hydrophilicity (water-soluble) and hydrophobicity (fat-soluble) of the constituents is important for the larvacidal activity;38
• the bursting activity may be caused not only by tannins but also by other nonvolatile32 and volatile constituents;33
• a different bursting feature was observed for the tannin-nematocide mixture compared to the bursting caused by essential oil alone33 suggesting a different mechanism of action;
• the synergistic action of tannins and an anthelmintic not only damages the worms irreversibly, but also, in some instances markedly reduced the required amount of the anthelmintic.37
This research suggests the value of combining various herbal agents for a synergistic anthelmintic activity. It also implies that combination of anthelmintic herbs with tannin-containing herbs such as green tea and particularly herbs containing condensed tannins such as grape seed extract will enhance their activity.
Recent Anthelmintic Research
In vitro tests conducted at a government laboratory in Brisbane in 2002 using a number of herbal extracts and essential oils have indicated that clove bud and Stemona have definite positive anthelmintic activity towards a sheep intestinal nematode prevalent in this locality.39
The testing included egg hatch assay, larval development assay and infective larvae assay. At the tested dosage clove bud gave a convincing kill of the larvae population, rather than just immobilization. A field trial testing a number of herbs and essential oils for the treatment of worm infestation in sheep is pending.
Suggested Combinations for Increased Activity
The following treatments would combine well and provide synergistic anthelmintic activity with the wormwood, black walnut hulls, Stemona and clove bud essential oil mentioned above:
• tannin-containing herbs, especially preparations containing green tea (Camellia sinensis) and grape seed (Vitis vinifera) extract. These herbs should be taken concomitantly with the anthelmintic herbs.
• holy basil (Ocimum sanctum) essential oil, since the leaf has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine as an anthelmintic and the essential oil has demonstrated potent anthelmintic activity in vitro towards Caenorhabditis elegans.35 In the worm bursting assay outlined above32 methyleugenol demonstrated nematocidal activity but was devoid of worm bursting activity. The presence of even a small amount of eugenol (5-10%) in the methyleugenol-tannin mixture caused the bursting of the worms, particularly when the tannin as of the condensed type.32 Both eugenol and methyleugenol occur in holy basil essential oil; the amount of each varies depending upon the chemotype.40
• immune enhancing herbs such as Echinacea, and also preparations containing Andrographis paniculata and holy basil essential oil: to enhance the body's natural immune function and assist in the immune response to worm infestation. Eosinophilia (increased number of eosinophils in the blood) and elevated serum IgE (gamma-E globulin) levels are features of many helminthic infections.)
• garlic (Allium sativum) has been used as an anthelmintic in western herbal medicine,1 for example, as a decoction or freshly mashed and administered to children on an empty stomach.41 Garlic extract was effective against Rhabditis spp. and the eggs of Ascaris suum in vitro.42 In the Toxocara assay described above methanol extract of garlic (10 mg/mL) produced a RM value of 0 after 24 hours of incubation.32
• laxative herbs: to promote elimination of the worm infestation (or worm debris) via the bowel including preparations containing cascara (Rhamnus purshiana) and yellow dock (Rumex crispus).
• bitter herbs: to promote the gastric acid barrier to resist reinfestation. I recommend gentian (Gentiana lutea) liquid extract.
• digestive enzyme preparations, such as the latex of Ficus spp. which contains ficin has been used traditionally in neotropical areas such as the Amazon as an anthelmintic.43 However, concomitant intake of digestive enzymes with tannins may result in the inactivation of the enzymes.

VIDEO: Cee Lo Green Sings 'Mary Did You Know' From Burnett's THE BIBLE
Below, Cee Lo Green, Mark Burnett and Roma Downey bring the exciting preview of THE BIBLE, set to Cee Lo's rendition of "Mary Did You Know" from his hit holiday album Cee Lo's Magic Moment.
THE BIBLE is an epic 10-hour television series produced by Roma Downey ("Touched By an Angel") and Mark Burnett ("The Voice," "Survivor," "Shark Tank," "Celebrity Apprentice") premiering on 3/3/13, and Blu-ray and DVD soon after.
For more information, check out THE BIBLE on Facebook here: and Twitter @bibleseries.
Cee Lo Green is best known for his soul work: his most popular was Gnarls Barkley's 2006 worldwide hit "Crazy", which reached number one in various singles charts worldwide, including the UK. In the United States, "Crazy" reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Parent album St. Elsewhere was also a hit, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart and number four on the US Billboard 200 album charts. Gnarls Barkley's second album, The Odd Couple (2008), was less successful, charting at number 12 in the U.S. and 18 in the UK.<
In 2010, Cee Lo took a break from recording with Gnarls Barkley and released the single "Fuck You!" on August 19 as a solo recording artist. The song was an instant hit, with the radio-edit version "Forget You" reaching the top spot in the UK and the Netherlands and charted at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The parent album, The Lady Killer (2010) saw similar success, peaking within the top five of the UK Albums Chart and debuting within the top ten on the Billboard 200 album charts, and received a Gold certification from the BPI in the UK shortly after its release. His second single "It's OK" was a hit in Europe and the third single, "Bright Lights Bigger City" has also seen similar charting success. Cee Lo is also currently a vocal coach on the NBC reality talent show The Voice with Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton.

You may have heard there are afew budget plans meandering around the capitol, one of which is President Obama'sproposed budget. We don't have many details as of yet, but self-employedprofessionals should take note – they could be tax targets when it comes totheir retirement savings.
For retirement savers and thosemaking powerful use of an IRA, here's at least one tidbit the rumor mill hasbeen circulating well before the budget's release. If enacted, "wealthyâ€individuals would be pinched with a $3 million cap on their IRA holdings.
Several sources have reported onthis, to include Time Magazine in anarticle titled "Obama's Budget Would Cap Tax-AdvantagedSavings.†Although $3 million may sound like a lot, it may end upaffecting more savers who otherwise might not be considered traditional taxtargets: self-employed individuals like doctors, lawyers, and entrepreneurs.The self-employed all have unique abilities (and needs) to contribute largeamounts to their IRAs.
So, who is the intended targetof this kind of a cap? One name keeps surfacing: Mitt Romney. Remember thatfabled $100+ million IRA, as pointed out by the Boston Globe in an article titled "Obama budget would pinch IRAs of wealthywith $3m cap.â€
The analyses of the proposal are still being churnedout, and there are some important details to be hammered out as well. Atpresent, this cap is no more than a proposal and part of a budget plannone-too-well-liked by either side. Nevertheless, this kind of cap and itsprying look at tax-advantaged plans is worth watching.

Park Electrochemical reports rise in profits
Despite lower sales, Park Electrochemical Corp. of Melville reported a sharp rise in profits thanks to a tax gain and lower expenses.
The high-tech materials manufacturer said its fiscal second-quarter sales fell to $44.5 million during the three months ended in September, down 4 percent from the same period last year. The results fell short of the expectations of analysts, who had forecast revenue of $45 million.
Nonetheless, Park Electrochemical's profit rose to $8.1 million, or 39 cents per share -- more than double the profit in the second quarter of 2012.
That's in part because the company gained $2.2 million related to amended federal income tax returns. And in the past year Park Electrochemical has closed factories in Connecticut and China, which led to a pretax charge of $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 but has since lowered expenses.
"That's a big difference in terms of carrying those costs," Park Electrochemical chief executive Brian Shore said during a call with analysts.
Park Electrochemical's stock was relatively flat amid Monday's broad sell-off on Wall Street, closing down 7 cents at $28.65.
Park Electrochemical manufactures materials used in circuit boards for the telecommunications and aerospace industries.
The company's sales have been sluggish for several months as global economic uncertainty, particularly in Europe, has left corporations and governments slow to invest in new telecom equipment, analysts said.

Hardy: 18s expect their own derby success
HARDY: City's U18s striker is pleased with his early season form
City U18s striker Joe Hardy wants his side to emulate the performance of the first team when they play their own Manchester derby this Saturday.
Lee Carsley's Blues are unbeaten so far this season after comprehensive victories over Everton and Liverpool and draws with West Brom and Blackburn.
Hardy believes the young Blues should look to replicate the showing of Pep Guardiola's team at Old Trafford if they are to emerge victors over their rivals in this weekend's game at the Academy Stadium.
"We want to do what the first team did by getting at them as quickly as possible," said Hardy.
"If we can get an early goal then that should set us up and even though it might not be like the Liverpool game, that early advantage is always a good thing."
The 17-year-old does acknowledge the quality of the opposition and has promised fans the match will be an exciting glimpse into the future of football in Manchester.
He said: "Usually teams are quite defensive against us. Blackburn last weekend stood off us quite a lot and it was more about us trying to break them down.
"I do think this United team will try and get at us though because it's a derby and their results have shown they're a good side so it should be a really good game."
"The derby is always a really important game and with both of us fighting to win the league, fans can expect us all to be working as hard as possible in front of what is, hopefully, a big crowd."
City v United in the U18 Premier League will kick-off at 12pm on Saturday 17 September in the Academy Stadium. Read here for more information on how you can support City's future stars.

Alton, IL (PressExposure) April 03, 2011 -- Entrepreneur David Roberts realized the need to have one convenient place for people seeking information, advice and solutions to mobility challenges when he witnessed the difficulty people had to endure to search for a way to retrofit their homes so that they could get around, given that bedrooms were typically located on the upper levels whereas the living quarters were almost always located on the ground level. Individuals who require a mechanical apparatus such as a wheel chair to get around would definitely need some way to get up and down the stairs, assuming the home is not equipped with an elevator, and let's face it, elevators are not your typical home furnishing.
A quick search of the online space revealed to Mr. Roberts that the information regarding vertical home mobility exists, but it is fragmented across the vast reaches of the internet, and only a few sites that have more than just a hint or two of helpful information as it relates to giving a foundation for people to make a decision on vertical mobility products such as stair lifts. The inefficient current state of search for vertical platform lifts led Mr. Roberts to embark on a project to provide an integrated view of the mobility assistance landscape, and stairliftsandmore.com is the product of that endeavor.
Stair lifts are not a new concept, even though modern historians like to attribute the concept to Mr. Crispen, a Pennsylvania entrepreneur. Evidence of stair lifts was found in White Hall Palace, UK reportedly used and presumably invented by King Henry VIII, who by many accounts weighed around 400 pounds.
With the US population trending higher in age, given that people are living longer today as a result of better nutrition, healthcare and favorable living conditions, it is not surprising that issues and concerns regarding the aging body is becoming more prevalent and is expected to be even more so in the coming decades. This phenomenon gives rise to the inevitable question, and that is, how do we address the challenges to our aging population, challenges that did not exist as recently as forty years ago?
The mobility industry is deeply focused on providing what many call the horizontal solution, and that is, machines and related apparatus that enable the person to regain the ability to move from point A to point B, and that's fine to a point because in reality the ability to regain movement that people who can walk take for granted is above all else the main concern; however, that does not address the issue of vertical movement, specifically in a home environment where the total living space is characterized by upper and lower sections, rather than one flat horizontal space.
By developing and launching his stair lifts site, entrepreneur David Roberts has done what many have been wishing for, but few have ever considered; and that is, a one-stop shop for all things related to vertical mobility. The breadth of information on the site provides a complete perspective on mobility solutions for the home, everything from vertical platform lifts to financing the best mobility solution for the situation.
"When I launched stairliftsandmore.com, I intended to provide an easy to understand, comprehensive portal of information on the concept of vertical mobility. Many people with various mobility challenges have to scour the online world and gather bits and pieces of information, so I decided there had to be a better way. The answer: stairliftsandmore.com, where I produced the information most highly sought after, into one centralized place for everyone to see," explains David Roberts of Stair Lifts and More.
Stair Lifts and More provides you with information and reviews on all makes and models of stair lifts, bath lifts, home elevators, wheelchair lifts, accessories and more. Get all of your questions answered about mobility aids.

Hayden Wand was born one summer's afternoon in the late twentieth century, midway through that decade called "the nineties." The previous nine months of existence had accustomed her to darkly-lit isolation, something she never entirely outgrew. Due to these tendencies, in some circles (i.e. her family) she has been called a vampire, but this is very likely untrue.
Her parents were sincere and devout in their desire to teach her in the ways of the Lord, and they homeschooled Hayden and all four of her younger siblings. She became a Christian during this time, and continues to take great comfort in the words of the Bible.
Photographic evidence proves that her predilection for literature was acquired at an early age, and she eagerly devoured any book she could get her hands upon. At the age of nine she penned her first story, but it is unfortunately unavailable to the public as it has since been viciously shredded and enthusiastically burnt.
The writing continued, however, and after graduating high school, she spent three years completing her first novel, Hidden Pearls. It was also during this time she had a novella, "The Wulver's Rose," published in the Five Enchanted Roses fairy tale collection. She very much encourages the reader to buy her work, since starving writers much prefer the adjective "well-fed." Thankfully, if the reading public proves heartless, she has a wonderful mother with excellent talent in the cooking department.
Hayden loves stories in all forms, but especially those written by Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, L.M. Montgomery, and C.S. Lewis. She has an alarming obsession with Sherlock Holmes, which she claims began after an early childhood viewing of The Great Mouse Detective, and a great affinity for mysteries in general. She also has an appreciation for black-and white films, musicals, action movies, superheroes, and science fiction, especially if Time Lords and a TARDIS are involved.
She currently attends a local college where she studies history and can usually be found haunting the campus library.

Reuters reports that Skype is having trouble getting their mobile client to market. Niklas Zennstrom is quoted as saying: "When we begun developing the mobile phone version we didn't realize the number of technical obstacles. It is challenging and is taking much longer than expected."
The story goes on to elaborate that while the Windows Mobile version is available, there are few of those handsets out in Europe.  Of course, the version everyone wants is the Symbian version. According to some developers I've spoken with, it seems that Symbian is a much harder environment to work with than either Windows Mobile, or BlackBerry.Â
In any case, the recent rash of mobile announcements from Jajah, RebTel and others  has got to be putting pressure on Niklas' team to get their own mobile offering to market.
UPDATE: BusinessWeek's Olga Kharif also picked up this story.Â
