Description The present invention is directed to an antenna drive assembly, and more particularly to a linear actuator style drive that enables 180 horizon-to-horizon dish motion. Satellites that orbit the earth in the equatorial plane at an altitude of 6.611 earth radii are geosynchronous, or relatively fixed above a particular point on earth. Since all geosynchronous satellites are in the equatorial plane (celestial latitude=0 particular satellite is unambiguously designated by its longitude. For example, geosynchronous satellites located on an arc between approximately 70 for the continental United States. Earth-mounted dish antennas can receive data from any geosynchronous satellite within its longitudinal scope. It is relatively straightforward to direct a dish antenna to a particular geosynchronous satellite by rotating the receiving dish about its north-south polar axis. In addition, the parabolic reflector axis is then pointed toward the Clark Belt along the geosynchronous arc by adjusting the declination angle. Such systems operate on the theory that rotation about an axis which is normal to the plane passing through the site and two geosynchronous satellites will aim the antenna at the two satellites with minimal pointing error. At the equator, the polar axis is parallel to the surface of the earth, and the dish antenna, mounted to rotate about that axis, faces straight up. At non-equatorial installations, the angle of the polar axis is equal in magnitude to the latitude of the installation site. In the Northern Hemisphere, a dish antenna mounted to rotate about its polar axis faces South toward the celestial equator, while a dish in the Southern Hemisphere faces North toward the celestial equator. In each case, the polar axis of the dish is normal to the equatorial plane. In a single axis system of the type described, a dish antenna can contact any geosynchronous satellite it can point to. At present, geosynchronous satellites positioned on the arc described above ring much of the earth, with approximately 4 goal of dish antenna designers to maximize the number of satellites a dish can track, by encompassing as much of the geosynchronous orbit arc as possible, up to the theoretical horizon-to-horizon sweep limit of 180 they can only point to satellites on a 162.6.degree. arc, at the equator, and to smaller arcs at higher latitudes. These limits arise because of encounters with the horizon at either end of the arc. At present, either of two fundamentally different dish antenna drive assembly types are used to orient a dish to desired longitudes. To date, only one of the two types can sweep out a horizon-to-horizon arc of 180 fine-tooth gearing or a system of chains and sprockets to move the dish across the 180 the largest possible arc, they are typically much more complex and expensive than linear actuator type drives. Typical linear actuator drives have a moveable shaft pivotally connected at one end to the underside of the dish. The movable shaft is typically a screw jack operated manually or by motor drive that urges the mounted dish antenna around its polar axis. At most, the linear actuator type of drive assembly can sweep out an arc of about 110 mechanical constraints that arise from connecting the linear actuator directly to the dish and to the mount. What is lacking, therefore, in the art is a dish antenna drive assembly that combines the simplicity and economy of existing linear actuator drives with the wide-range survey capability of existing horizon-to-horizon drives. A linear actuator type dish antenna drive capable of directing 180 horizon-to-horizon tracking of the geosynchronous orbit arc along the equatorial plane comprises a first pivotable link between the dish antenna mount and the telescoping end of the linear actuator and a second pivotable link connected between the dish antenna base and the first pivotable link. The improved linear actuator drive disclosed herein provides a movable point about which the first link can pivot while continually urging the antenna about an axis, thereby maximizing both the mechanical advantage and the tracking range of the dish. FIG. 1 shows a side view of a dish antenna mounted atop a base incorporating the drive assembly of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the antenna is rotated to its maximal leftward (eastward) position. FIGS. 2 and 3 are detailed front views of the base taken from the left side of the device shown in FIG. 1. Shown in detail is the drive assembly of the present invention. The dish antenna is shown at its maximal rightward position in FIG. 2 and at its maximal leftward position in FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is taken from the perspective of the arrow numbered 3 in FIG. 1. The present invention is directed to a novel antenna drive assembly, based on a linear actuator, that permits a dish antenna to sweep out an arc of 180 of existing horizon-to-horizon drive assemblies. The invention is intended to be used to rotate a mounted dish antenna 26 about a defined axis, where such axis is tangential to the focus of the parabola that defines the dish. FIG. 1 shows a dish antenna for reception or transmission mounted to an antenna base 11 that incorporates the drive assembly of the present invention. The drive assembly 10 is detailed in FIGS. 2 and 3, to which reference is now made. The linear actuator 12 of the novel drive assembly is known to the art. As in other such drive assemblies, the linear actuator 12 has its lower end fixed in place pivotably mounted by a bracket 14 to a drive mounting arm 54, and this pivotal mounting allows the angular position of the linear actuator to vary. The linear actuator 12 includes an extensible and retractable portion 16 which extends from and is retracted into its lower fixed end. In response to a change in length of the linear actuator, the antenna is urged to rotate about its axis. The linear actuator length may be operable manually, mechanically or, as in the preferred embodiment, by an electromechanical computer-controlled device, such as a DC drive motor 18 which is operated based on data from a Hall effect sensor, reed sensor, optical sensor, or potentiometer sensor, or the like, and is powered by a power supply 19. The sensors provide an appropriate feedback signal to a programmable positioner or controller. Such electromechanical devices are known to the art. One such device for driving a linear actuator is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,918,363, which is incorporated herein by reference. As an improvement to the existing state of the linear-actuator-type drive assembly art, the drive assembly of the present invention includes a first pivotable link 20 inserted between the far end of the extensible and retractable portion 16 of the linear actuator 12 and an axial rotating antenna mount 21, to gain mechanical advantage during rotation of the axial rotating mount 21 brought about by changing the length of the linear actuator 12. The axial rotating mount 21 rotates about the selected axis and provides support for a dish antenna mounted thereto. The axial rotating mount 21 is described in detail elsewhere in this specification. It is noted that while the preferred connection is to an axial rotating mount, direct connection of the first link 20 to the antenna is also possible. However, connection through the axial rotating mount lets one base support many different kinds of antennae (with appropriate mounting hardware being provided for each). In contrast, if the link 20 was connected directly to the antenna, it might be necessary to adjust the length or position of the first link for each antenna, to obtain the advantageous mechanical advantage provided by the present invention. A second pivotable link 22, rotatably attached at one end to the antenna base, is pivotably connected at its other end to the first link 20, to maximize the mechanical advantage gained by the first link 20. The preferred connection to the first link is at or near the midpoint of the first link, although by varying the points at which both ends of the second link are connected, it may be possible to achieve 180 rotation using other configurations. The first and second links 20, 22 are preferably formed of a weatherproof, durable material, such as metal, and should be capable of unimpeded rotation about the four pivot points. In the preferred embodiment, the first link 20 is formed of a spaced-apart pair of parallel flat metal bars having, at one end, a tongue 24 with an aperture. The linear actuator 12 is preferably pivotably connected to the tongue 24, while between the flat metal bars the axial support is attached at the other end to the axial rotating mount. The second link 22 is also pivotably fastened between the flat bars of the first link 20. Other connection schemes are possible. The drive assembly of the present invention is intended to be used in conjunction with an axially-rotatable dish antenna. What follows is a detailed description of a dish antenna base fitted with the preferred embodiment of the present invention. A dish antenna is typically affixed to an axial mount on a base secured to the ground or to a permanent or temporary pedestal. Most often, such mounts provide a single axis of rotation. When designing a drive assembly to track geosynchronous satellites, the single axis is preferably a polar axis tangential to the focus of the dish parabola. However, the invention is not intended to be so limited. While the linear actuator type drive assembly disclosed herein is described in conjunction with a mount providing a single polar axis of rotation, two or more such drive assemblies could be employed simultaneously with an antenna designed to be positioned along two or more independent axes. Such an antenna could then access satellites in non-geosynchronous earth orbits. A dish mount incorporating two or more drive assemblies of the type disclosed herein could track a wider array of satellite orbits than a mount using existing linear actuator technology. In FIG. 1, a dish antenna 26 is shown mounted to an antenna base 11, which includes a tubular four-legged base 28. The particulars of the base 28 to which an antenna may be mounted are not intended to limit this invention. Preferably, the base is also provided with a base positioner for installation at various latitudes, although a base designed for use at a single latitude would also be appropriate. One skilled in the art can also envision any number of means for stabilizing the base 28, which means are not intended to limit the present invention. Attached at or near the top the base 28 is a pivotable axis member 30, shown in FIG. 1. As noted above, the preferred axis of rotation is the north-south polar axis, since the preferred embodiment of the invention is presented herein in conjunction with an antenna for tracking geosynchronous satellites, but the base must allow for use of the antenna at different latitudes. The axis member 30, having first and second ends, may assume any size or shape that allows pivoting to the proper angle for a given latitude, and should be rigid enough to support the weight of the antenna dish mounted as described herein. The axis member 30 is connected to the axial rotating mount 21, which includes a support plate 32 of an elongated, inverted U-shape, with rectangular ends and top. The support plate 32 is also preferably provided with coaxial apertures through its first and second ends for attachment to the axis member 30. A fastener 34 at one end of a shaft through the aperture is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The axial rotating mount 21 includes upper and lower antenna mounting brackets, of a type known to the art. The brackets join the underside of the antenna dish, through the axis member 30, to the antenna base 11, so that the connected antenna dish can rotate about the axis. The invention is not intended to be limited to any particular connector, so long as 180 unimpeded. When designing upper and lower connectors for both the base and the dish, attention should be paid to adequately distributing the weight of the rotating dish antenna to ensure that the base remains stable at all possible dish positions. The two antenna mounting brackets of the rotating mount 21 do differ from each other in shape. Many possible upper and lower bracket designs exist; the invention is not limited to any particular bracket designs. Only the upper mounting bracket 36 is shown in the figures. The upper mounting bracket includes a mounting subassembly 38 having a pair of elevated tubular channels which receive a pair of threaded upper mounting bolts 40 connecting to a dish antenna upper mounting bracket 42. The dish antenna mounting bolts 40 are secured in the tubular channels by nuts at both channel ends. These elevated tubular channels and mounting bolts 40 together form a mechanism for setting the declination angle of the dish antenna. The lower bracket (i.e., closer to the ground), not shown, is provided with a tubular channel which engages a lower mounting bracket on the underside of the dish antenna and which is secured in place by passing a threaded lower mounting bolt through both the dish mounting bracket and the tubular channel and fixing nuts to the ends of the bolt. As mentioned earlier the antenna base 11 includes a base positioning mechanism for orienting the base to an angle appropriate to the installation site latitude, such that the dish antenna connected to the oriented base sweeps out a desired arc in the sky when rotated about the selected axis. One of ordinary skill would be able to envision many positioners other than those described herein. It is, therefore, not a requirement of the present invention that the positioner be provided by the axis member 30, nor that the positioner be provided as described below. In the preferred embodiment, the positioner includes an axis member mounting bracket 44, securely mounted between the axis member 30 and the vertical tubular portion of the base 28, which allows the axis member 30 to pivot vertically to achieve an angle equal to the installation site latitude. The mounting bracket may be formed of any strong, rigid and durable material, such as metal, that is capable of supporting the great weight of a rotating dish antenna. The sides of the bracket 44 are preferably formed of a pair of metal pieces, spaced apart by a distance sufficient to permit the axis member 30 to be pivotably secured therebetween at a pivot point. The bottom of the bracket 44 may be formed of a third metal piece welded or otherwise secured atop a tubular portion 46 having a sufficiently wide diameter that the entire mounting bracket 44 may be positioned atop the vertical portion of the tubular base 28 and secured with nuts and bolts or with other means for stably mounting the dish antenna. The pivot point of the mounting bracket 44 is preferably delineated by a threaded shaft 48 that passes both through the linear midpoint of the axis member 30 and through side apertures in the axial support mounting bracket 44, which shaft 48 is secured at both ends with nuts after orienting the axis member 30. To maintain the rigid spaced-apart form of the bracket 44, one or more additional spacers 49 may also be securely provided between the sides, taking care not to impede the axis member pivot. Axial restraints for fixing the oriented axial support to the proper position for the site latitude may also be provided. For example, at least one, but preferably a pair of, pivotable threaded rigid rods 50 connected to, and depending from, one end of the pivotable axis member 30 engage a latitude adjustment bracket 52 which is itself rotatably disposed through an aperture in a tongue 53 on a vertical side of the base 28. In the preferred embodiment, the latitude adjustment bracket 52 includes, at its ends, a pair of tubular channels which receive the threaded rods 50, which rods may be secured with nuts provided at both ends of each tubular channel. For ease of use, the horizontal distance between the tubular channels of the latitude adjustment bracket 52 equals the distance between the depending threaded rods 50. The precise means for connecting the threaded rods 50 to the axis member 30, and for securing the threaded rods 50 in the latitude adjustment bracket 52 are many and varied, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The base also preferably includes a drive assembly mount for attaching the drive assembly of the present invention to the base, although it may be possible to attach the drive assembly to another portion of the base. In the preferred embodiment, the drive assembly mount is provided by a drive mounting arm 54 that fixedly depends at about a 90 upper end of the axis member 30. The outer portion of the linear actuator 12 is attached by the bracket 14 to the end of the mounting arm 54 farthest from the antenna 26. In describing the novel drive assembly 10 of the present invention, it was noted above that the first link 20 is positioned between the axial rotating mount and the extensible and retractable end 16 of the linear actuator portion 12 of the drive assembly 10. It was also noted that the first link 20 is further provided with a connection point preferably at or near its midpoint, which connection point serves as the point of pivotable connection to one end of the second link 22. At this juncture, the preferred connections of the linear actuator 12 and the second link 22 to the mounting arm 54 of the base 28 are now detailed, which connections enable the drive assembly 10 to function as intended. At the distal end of the drive mounting arm 54 (i.e., the end positioned away from the axis member 30), pivotable connection is made with the linear actuator bracket 14, such that the angular position of the linear actuator may vary as its length changes. Also, the free end of the second link 22 is pivotably connected to the drive mounting arm 54 at an optimal position that is empirically determined geometrically to give the 180 actuator. In use to track geosynchronous satellites, the antenna base 28 is positioned at the desired installation site by a two-step alignment. First, the axis member 30 is aligned toward true north (Northern Hemisphere) or true south (Southern Hemisphere). Next, the drive mounting arm end of the axis member 30 is elevated from the horizontal to an angle equal in magnitude to the installation site latitude. This may be accomplished by first loosening the latitude adjustment bracket 52 and the pivot point shaft 48 that passes through the axis member 30 and its mounting bracket 44. The desired angle is fixed by re-tightening both the latitude adjustment bracket 52 and the pivot point shaft 44. Next the declination angle is set by adjusting the mounting bolts 40 in the tubular channels of the upper mounting bracket 36. The declination angle setting depends upon the design of a mount and may be determined by one of ordinary skill. Necessary setting guides are typically provided by the manufacturer. After having thus installed the base 28, oriented the axis member 30 to the polar axis and adjusted the declination and elevation angles, the dish antenna 26 mounted to the installed base 28 will rotate about the polar axis and in so doing will sweep out an arc upon which the geosynchronous satellites lie. In accord with the present invention, the dish antenna is moved by changing the length of the linear actuator 12. In the preferred embodiment, the length of the linear actuator 12 is changed by sending a digital signal to the controlling motor 18 which extends or retracts portion 16 of the actuator 12 as described above. When the actuator 12 is in its smallest or most retracted position, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the first link 20 closely abuts, and roughly parallels, the drive mounting arm 54, placing the dish antenna at its maximum rightward position, when facing the drive assembly 10. As the actuator arm 16 extends, mechanical force is exerted across the first link 20 to the upper end of the axial support 30, attached to the other end of the first link 20. Continued extension of the linear actuator 12 further urges the axial support 32 leftward about the polar axis until such point as the first link 20 pivots about the attached second link 22. At that point, further extension of the linear actuator 16 pivots the second link 22, all the while continuing to drive the antenna dish leftward at the urging of the first link 20. At the farthest extension point, both the first and second links 20 and 22 are maximally pivoted, as is shown in FIG. 3. Since the linear actuator 16 and the two links 20, 22 all pivot, the drive assembly 10 of the present invention can direct rotation to angles well beyond those achieved by the restrained linear actuators type drive assemblies of the prior art. The dish antenna drive herein disclosed, with its novel pair of mechanical pivotable links incorporated into a linear actuator type drive assembly, meets a great need in the dish antenna industry. Whereas formerly only complex and expensive drive mechanisms could achieve horizon-to-horizon reception, the drive described herein allows such broad coverage while adding just a few simple mechanical parts. Coverage is expanded by a full 70 actuator type drives, permitting a dish to track as many as six to ten additional geosynchronous satellites. The invention is not limited to the embodiment disclosed herein, but is intended to encompass all such modifications and variants as fall within the scope of the following claims. Patent Citations

Barcelona or Man U to net $154M from Champions final |
ROME (AP) -- A victory in Wednesday's Champions League final will net Manchester United or Barcelona at least $154 million, according to a new study. Even the loser will take home $91 million from a match that is worth more than $433 million to the European economy. That's $60 million more than last year's final at Moscow which United won on penalties against Chelsea. The global economic downturn has actually benefited Europe's top-tier competition as prize money and television rights have grown while fans have preferred to spend their money on something that helps them forget about these dour times. Rome will also receive a boost of $63 million for hosting the match at Stadio Olimpico. Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

from Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune,
The coaching staff put together activities that force players to think and communicate with each other in smaller groups. Tuesday, the players were divided into five teams. Teams were given eight different tasks to complete — including disc golf, folding sweaters in a specific design and building a 3-D puzzle — within a time frame. Another activity is planned for Friday when the team is in Quebec City.
"We really are just trying to get these guys to work together, find solutions to the different problems ... so communication is the key,'' assistant coach Dan LaCroix said. "We are trying to make it fun. Guys love the competition and they hate to lose, so we set things up in a way so there is a winner.''

FORMER Brisbane Lions premiership player Shaun Hart will be the guest speaker at a charity event in Burnie later this month.
Mr Hart, who now works as an assistant coach with the Gold Coast Suns, will visit Burnie on September 27 to speak at the Tour de Fight BACC (breast and children's cancer) fund- raising dinner.
The dinner is being held in association with the Tour de Fight BACC bike ride from Adelaide to Shepparton in Victoria.
Burnie resident and tour co-ordinator Graeme Weatherly will be partnered on the ride by his sons-in-law Dale Osborne and Tom Robinson, the Wynyard Football Club senior coach.
"The basis of the campaign is motivation in itself ... I've got plenty of motivation in my head to keep me going," he said.
Mr Weatherly is participating in honour of his daughter Rebecca and wife Jan who both lost their battles with cancer.
Mr Hart was coached by Mr Weatherly during his junior and senior football career at Shepparton United Football Club.
"I have a great friendship with Graeme and I saw the journey his daughter and wife had with the illness ... Jan had it for many years and was an incredible warrior," he said.
"I was only too happy to help out when I got the call."
The event, on the eve of the AFL grand final, will see the 2001 Norm Smith medallist talk about his life in football.
"I'll talk about my playing career, grand final experiences and lessons learnt on and off and field - it all ties in with the bike ride," Hart said.
The Burnie High School senior representative council has joined forces with Mr Weatherly to help promote the event and provide assistance on the night.
"We wanted to raise some funds for the school, but when we heard about the ride, we wanted to do our bit to help," SRC member Austin Pullen said.
Smithton Football Club senior coach Jarrod Watling will also participate in the ride.

Today, we describe how to use ROS Fuerte over the network and have a couple of ROS nodes running on different machines. We assume that you had successfully installed ROS and that you tested it on a single PC by running some tutorials. We also assume that you are running ROS on a PC with Ubuntu which is the reference platform for ROS. Ready? Then, let's go!
Mapping IP Addresses to Hostnames
We work with two laptops named r2d2 and c3po. Both are under Ubuntu 12.04LTS and are connected to the same LAN. We use a wifi network, which is more convenient for controlling mobile robots.
In our network only servers have fixed IP addresses registered in the DNS. Our two PCs r2d2 and c3po are connected via DHCP. This means that their IP addresses are dynamic, they might change each time we connect Wifi. Fortunately, the IP address assigned to each machine in a given network tend to be stable overtime, especially in small networks. It seldom changes, so we can assume it as fixed.
To know the IP addresses of our machines, we look them up in the connection information menu under the wifi icon of the task bar (see Picture 1). Note that if your PC is connected to ethernet, the network icon will be different (double arrow). An alternative option is to execute ifconfig in a terminal.
Picture 1: Connection Information Menu
The connection information menu opens a window (see Picture 2). The tab title is the SSID (i.e. the name) of the wifi network. Note that in case your PC is connected to ethernet, you'll have two tabs, one for ethernet, and the other for wifi.
Time to check our connections. First a ping to ensure that both computers are on the same network. Evaluate the following command in a terminal.
viki@r2d2:~$ ping c3po
We put the prompt (viki@r2d2:~$) on the command line to show that we are running the command on r2d2. As a result, we get a series of lines saying that we received some bytes from the c3po and that the transmission took some amount of milliseconds as shown by Picture 3. The ping continues running endlessly until we press Ctl-c.
We do this install on both laptops. We use an account with administrator rights. After providing the password, SSH is downloaded and installed.
Now, let see if we can access one machine from the other through SSH. We assume that there exist an account for a user named viki on c3po. On r2d2, we evaluate the following command line where the user name viki is followed by an @ and the name of the remote machine which is c3po.
viki@r2d2:~$ ssh viki@c3po
After providing the password for viki, we land on c3po. The prompt is now viki@c3po:~$ . So, we can work remotely on c3po. For now, we just quit by pressing Ctl-d or by typing exit.
ROS Environment Variables
ROS needs to know the name of each machine it is running on. This done by setting the ROS_HOSTNAME environment variable of each machine with its own name. Besides, we should provide ROS with URI of the master node, that is launched by the roscore command. Since in a ROS graph, there should be only a single master node, its URI should replicated on all machines by setting the ROS_MASTER_URI environment variable.
In our setting, we chose to run ROS master node on c3po. So, in r2d2 we modify the .bashrc file to set the environment variables as following:
export ROS_HOSTNAME=r2d2
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://c3po:11311
On c3po, we modify the .bashrc file to set the environment variables as following:
export ROS_HOSTNAME=c3po
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://c3po:11311
It's almost the same, except for the hostname. This is why we put it in bold, just to highlight the difference.
Time for Test
First and foremost, we have to start the master node. So, on c3po, we execute roscore as following:
viki@c3po:~$ roscore
For this test we'll play a bit with the turtle simulation provided with ROS. We run the turtle engine and display on one machine, say r2d2. The control is performed remotely on c3po to demonstrate the interaction between remote nodes.
We run the simulation on r2d2 as following:
viki@r2d2:~$ rosrun turtlesim turtlesim_node
As a result we get a blue window with a turtle standing still in the middle such as the one of Picture 4. The colors and the drawings of the turtle may be different on your machine. They actually change on every launch.
Picture 4: TurtleSim Window on Startup
Now we run the turtle controller on c3po. We chose one that makes the turtle indefinitely draw a square. It is run by evaluating in a terminal the following command line:
viki@c3po:~$ rosrun turtlesim draw_square
The log of the interaction with the simulated turtle is displayed in the terminal as shown on Picture 5.
Picture 5: Turtle controller and log of the interaction
On the simulation window, we see the turtle moving. The path it follows is drawn as white lines. After few iterations, the display looks like the one provided by Picture 6.
Picture 6: TurtleSim window after running the controller
It works. Congratulations! As a final remark we would like to point that the order of execution of nodes is arbitrary. We could start the controller first, and then the simulator. The result would have been the same.

Nice tutorial. I have a problem with the network setup. I am using your tutorial to understand how to install the turtlebot on robot pc and workstation. Question is I want to map the corridors where there is no wifi network available. In such case how to remotely control and connect the two pcs? Can you suggest something. I have seen people mapping large environments using turtlebot , how do they continue to have wifi network in such large area? Please advice.
Actually, the turtlebot can work without any network as long as ROS nodes and roscore are running on the turtlebot laptop. All you need to do is to set ROS environment variables point to the local machine by setting the .bashrc file as following:
export ROS_HOSTNAME=localhost
export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311
Thanks , got it working..
I have another problem.. I can ssh into the robot pc but now I cant get the sashboard to come up.. It is on the robot pc.. how do I see the dashboard (turtlebot tutorial)on my workstation…
Same problem with the rviz..
I learned that I need to ssh -X into the robot pc .. that way I was able to see the dashboard.. but for rviz its way too slow..
How to fix this , any suggestions??
ROS is a middleware meaning that it supports networking. So, you can have nodes running on different machines a we showed in our tutorial on ROS Networking. Since rviz is a ROS node, it can be run on your own PC, while roscore and other nodes are running on the robot's PC.
Thank you for your tutorial.
Hey Nootrix, I have installed the virtual box + ROS package in my machine. In the turtlebot laptop, I have the Ubuntu 12.04LTS. I'm trying to ping between the machines. The problem is: the turtlebot laptop is using the wi-fi and my computer is using the wi-fi too. But, in the Virtual Box, the Ubuntu is not using the wi-fi. It is using the ethernet. So, when I ping between the machines, it doesn't work. Do you know how can I fix this? Change the Ubuntu in Virtual Box to use the wi-fi instead of the ethernet?
Hi Yrik, it's not a problem that the ubuntu in virtual box uses the ethernet. What matters is how the virtual machine is connected to the network. If you look at the setting, you'll see in the network section that which network adapter #1 is enabled. If you want the virtual machine connect to the network through your wifi, select the wifi (Airport on Mac OS) under the name drop-down list as in the picture below. Also, ensure that you are using the "Bridge Adapter".
[…] 9- Add to the .bashrc file environment variables for ROS network setup. We provide here only the code required to run ROS on a single machine which is enough for running the ROS tutorials. If you plan to use more one machine, you should use an alternate configuration as suggested in our tutorial on ROS Networking. […]
[…] Setup Networking and SSH (here) […]
Hi NooTriX, first of all thank you for your tutorial, it helped to solve a remote communication problem (without adding the computers' names in the /etc/hosts file ROS didn't manage to establish a communication among the distributed nodes). Now I am trying to do the same thing using UDP protocol (I specified in my node I want to subscribe a topic in an unreliable way), but I have again some communication problems: if the nodes are on the same machine and the core on a remote one everything works fine, if I move one node to the same machine with the core no packet arrives. Is there any system configuration I need to set up to make it work?
Thank you in advance

COLUMBUS, Ohio - First lady Michelle Obama plans to campaign next week for her husband in the presidential battleground of Ohio.
President Barack Obama's re-election campaign says the first lady will visit the state on Tuesday, with stops planned at a high school in Columbus and a convention center in Dayton.
Both afternoon events require tickets, which will be available Saturday. Additional details about her visits weren't immediately available.
The first lady's trip to the swing state comes on the heels of campaign stops made this week by the president and Vice President Joe Biden.
Republican challenger Mitt Romney also made three stops in Ohio on Wednesday.

How do you react if your son or daughter are disobidient ?
11 Answers to "How do you react if your son or daughter are disobidient ?"
For me during my growing up years it was a good sound spanking from daddy, in my room, with my panties pulled down.
This is the biblical way to handle this question.Heart (5)
for me my mother would come to my college and scold me when I was disobidient
so I learned quickly not to **** her off. When I was younger she would bare my little *** and turn it a new shade of red.Heart (3)
I try to talk to them first, if that does not work, then I start taking away things they love the most. Finally, I do spank my children.
Heart (2)
It varies by age and offense. With older children it is often most effective to 1) make sure they understand the rules ahead of time 2) make the punishment fit the crime 3) don't belabor the point, just institute the consequence
e.g., 16 years old brings the car home late. Hold out your hand for the keys. Take the keys and say something simple "10 minutes late, that's one week without the car" and say no more. Your child doesn't need a lecture. He/she already knows the score.Heart (1)
Take away that which they most enjoy for a period of time. My son is 19yrs old a college student who does not live at home, so I would cut back on his fun money.
Heart (1)
I would put them to bed. Then explain why.
Heart (1)
Depending on how bad the behavior is, I will take away toys, send them to the corner or make them do an extra chore.
Heart (1)
discipline him/her take away a few toys, make him/her earn them back with a better attitude. If they are teenagers, get away tv time, and make them earn it back. Basically its discipline, discipline, discipline, (with love)
Heart (1)
I usually let them know that I will tolerate their behavior and I make them set in a chair or go to their room for 30 minutes while they think about being respectful..... and then they can only move about the house again IF they behave properly.
Heart (1)
A time-out and take things away for awhile

Outer Temple Chambers barrister set to speak at healthcare regulation conference
Outer Temple Chambers barrister James Counsell will be a guest speaker at the CLT conference on the regulation of healthcare professionals in London on 25 September 2013
According to the firm, it has been another eventful year in healthcare regulation. The publication of the Francis report into the mid-Staffordshire scandal and the decision to hold an inquiry into failings in Morecambe Bay have led to scrutiny of the conduct of professionals and the fitness for purpose of regulators.
The Law Commission is working on a draft bill aimed at introducing a more consistent approach to regulation across the professions.

How Are Checks Written During A Closing?
ask your agent and title company...usually its one bank check to the title company....but the down payment is usually made ahead of closing as an earnest money deposit.
Can I search urban (Philadelphia) properties which include off-street parking?
Better to work with a realtor with advnaced search ability...its not always accurate but easier than going through thousands....trulia has some limited ability to search by parking
can I buy a home without downpayment?
yes, you can. if you qualify for FHA in some areas you can get a grant....upper darby has some programs, the urban affairs coalition in philadelphia has some too.
Picture of property is incorrect
often you can select it and under tenant "claim it" then edit photos if it is your home...additionally, if its listed ask your agent to fix it.
my listings aren't showing up on zillow. anyone know why not?
search by address then "claim" them...sometimes its also ca company feed issue
what are some great steps to take preparing a home for selling before hiring a someone?
clean clean and clean, get all lightbulbs replaced which are out, anything not needed for daily living pack and get out of the house or neatly stacked in basement/garage. neutral colors - if you have red or purple paint it beige or another neutral color. wash the windows.
My listings on Postlets won't sync with Zillow.
i find it frustrating too when you need to "claim"
Why are 4 identical townhomes listed at prices ranging from 491 K to 611K?
Asking prices are just that...but as others have said, there are also mable differences in finishes, square footage, parking etc. sometimes one could be in short sale as well.
In Pennsylvania, what are the disadvantages for a seller of providing a 'sellers assist'?
it may have no impact depending on how it is structured....often, commission can be paid on the net price and not gross price...also, the 2% transfer tax can be paif by buyer if you choose to negotiate it....this is often a critical deal to getting people who have good income but low cash...its a win win for everyone if the net price works.

There Is Stability In It : Mizuno Running Shoes
Buy a pair of running shoes will be very easy to do when we know our own foot type and style that we often do when running. By adhering to these two things, we will easily find a pair of Mizuno running shoes that suit our needs and tastes. If we include in the category supinate (feet roll when we ran out) then we should choose shoes that have a bearing curved – Wave Creation. If we include in the category of over-pronate (feet turning into) then we should choose shoes that have motion controls and straight – Wave Alchemy. As for the neutral runner, good running shoes are shoes that have stability – Wave Inspire or Nirvana. Wearing the right running shoes will reduce the risk of injury and also can provide support when it is used.
Mizuno are one of the international sportswear manufacturer founded in Osaka, Japan. One product that is owned by Mizuno are Mizuno running shoes. Mizuno running shoes have a technology called Mizuno Wave – This is the most popular technology used by Mizuno in creating a quality running shoes. This technology has unique cushioning system that can create a kind of wave-like plastic midsole. This feature provides cushioning Mizuno running shoes are perfect as well as superb protection as a result of the use of the midsole. This wave-like midsole works by dispersing the force generated during the use of these shoes. The other kind of sport stuffs that provided at Mizuno except shoes are apparel's both for men and women.
Mizuno running shoes have different spec between men and women. So, do not feel tempted to have a pair of man running shoes in smaller sizes to be worn by women. In Mizuno, every pair of running shoes produced has been tested by considering the style and size of the foot for each gender – male or female. So, to get a pair of Mizuno running shoes that fit the size of our feet, choose shoes that are specially made for us (men / women).
We can find the Mizuno running shoes in sports stores or shoe stores both offline and online. Through online purchasing, we can order it directly on Mizuno's official website. When we bought it offline, look for shoe stores or a sports store that has staff that can help us to find the right pair of running shoes according to foot type, foot size, foot needs, and tastes. Price ranges are offered for a pair of Mizuno running shoes are $ 90 to $ 200 depending on the model of the shoes we choose. If we want to get a pair of Mizuno shoes that are cheaper, we can buy style, model and color of the previous year.

The album is the fugees at their best. Opening with with an excellent combination of "Fu Gee la", "No woman no cry", and "Ready or not", the mood is set brilliantly. Moving onto "Killing me softly" and a few lesser known hits, the alubm progresses with style and finess.
After getting through the groups main tracks, we move onto some excellent remixs. Now, they're not remixes in the modern dance sense. They are true remasters, which sound excellent. A personal favorite is "A change is going to come", an emotive piece about changing times and aspirations for equality.
For Fugee fans, this is a must. For someone looking to get into the sound of the Fugees, this is an amazing Album, and one well worth buying.
Definitely worth a listen, one of the best trios leaving us with their masterful work - Fugees Greatest Hits!

Witness recalls horrific motorcycle crash which killed Thomasz Bury in Crayford
9:57am Tuesday 19th June 2012 in Traffic & Travel By Jim Palmer
AN EYE-WITNESS has told of the moment he saw a horror crash in Crayford which left a motorcyclist dead.
Mechanical engineer Daniel Kennedy was putting bins out in his garden in Mill Lane, near to the junction with Crayford Way, at 6.30am on Thursday (June 14) when he heard an engine.
The 24-year-old said: "I looked round to see what kind of bike it was. The rider was trying to overtake a small car, but he didn't have time before the roundabout.
"He tried to come back in but he lost control and started to wobble and came off his bike before the corner. No-one else was involved."
The rider, 40-year-old Tomasz Bury, was trapped under the front wheels of an Ocado van across the road.
Mr Kennedy said: "The van stopped before the gentleman hit him, it was stationary.
"The gentleman was completely wedged under the front wheels of the van.
"The driver of the van was hysterical. He was in shock, he didn't know what to do or say.
"We pushed the van off and I called the paramedics. He was not conscious but breathing."
Mr Kennedy and the female driver of the car which Mr Bury tried to overtake helped direct traffic as ambulances, police cars and passers-by gathered.
Mr Kennedy said: "The paramedics were doing CPR for at least half an hour.
"The air ambulance's land crew arrived but not long after they pronounced him dead. You could tell by their faces."
Mr Bury was pronounced dead at 7.24am. His family has been informed.
Mr Kennedy said: "I think his brother was there and his co-workers. His brother was trying to hug him on the ground."
Both Crayford Way and Mill Place were closed in both directions for around seven hours while police investigated.
Mr Bury worked at Viridor Waste Management in Crayford, as an employee of Red Eagle employment agency.
Viridor's regional manager Stuart Wood said: "It was with extreme sadness that we heard of Tomasz' death. He will be greatly missed by his many friends and colleagues. Our thoughts at this time are with his family."
Mr Kennedy described the scene as "horrible" but was focussed on comforting the van driver.
He said: "I was trying to explain to him that it wasn't his fault. Some guys from his work were there trying to comfort him."

The Zilker Barn is a great place for a group to stay in Austin! Our group of 8 adults fit comfortably in the home. The location is absolutely superb (walking distance from food, bars, and shopping) and the home was immaculate. I definitely recommend the Zilker Barn for any group staying in Austin. Mary is very quick to respond and was a pleasure to work with!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We couldn't have made a better choice for a place to call home during weekend one of ACL. The house is perfect for a group of friends. It's comfortable, a super-convenient walk or bike ride to Zilker Park, and Mary is a doll. The house is clean, recently renovated, well-equipped, and the small backyard area is perfect for relaxing in the evenings (bring your bug repellant!). This really is the Airbnb experience you hope for: a great house and a friendly and responsive homeowner. Thanks, Mary!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We loved this place. My family rented both the "barn" and the smaller space and had a great time. Walkable to a few bars and restaurants but it's really quiet since it's a block off the major street. Comfortable and clean with plenty of character. Good atmosphere all around. Really glad we chose this spot for our family reunion.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This place was perfect for our extended family of 8 adults to stay at during a wedding weekend. Mary was great to coordinate with, and the place had all the amenities we could ask for (including coffee! what a nice touch!) Easy to walk to some of the food trucks too, which was an added bonus. Would definitely recommend to others.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Visited Austin from NYC for a girl's getaway. The Zilker House is perfectly located! About a 10-15 drive from the airport and plenty to do within walking distance (Mary provides a book filled with things to do and restaurants in the area). It's only a short drive or bike ride to South Congress Ave and downtown Austin. The house was bright and sunny, very clean and comfortable...loved the décor! Enjoyed my morning coffee sitting outside in the front yard. It's a very nice place to come back to after long days of exploring the city!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, age 55+.
