Google Similar Images and News Timeline Searches
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Google, Internet
Google has two new programs in the works. Similar Images uses pictures for searching instead of text. As an example, click on the word "Paris" and you get Ms. Hilton, the Eiffel Tower and a photo of an old church. You then click to search further. Google News Timeline helps localize your search through a chronological history of articles, videos and images that have been arranged by a year, month, week or single date. Search through mags, newspapers, blogs or Wikipedia.

UK Residents Block Google Street View Car
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Google, Internet, Transportation
Many areas in the UK, such as shopping centers and streets, have surveillance cameras. But Broughton residents had had enough and formed a human chain to keep out a car that was shooting for Google Street View. Paul Jacobs noticed the car and got ticked off enough to round up his neighbors to block the road. By the time the police showed up, the car had left the area. This is not the first time Street View has had complaints. Pictures of shelters for battered woman in the U.S. were previously removed.

Rumor has it that Google may be buying Twitter. Michael Arrington of TechCrunch reports that he has two unnamed sources who say that they are in the late stages of negotiations. Twitter already turned down an offer from Facebook, although that deal involved overvalued stock. Google plans on paying cash and/or public stock. We guess that this is a win-win for both. Twitter founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone have already sold Blogger to Google and considering that tweeting is more popular all the time, this will involve big profits down the line.

Google Tests PowerMeter Monitoring
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Google, Household, Internet
Google has a new tool that they are testing. PowerMeter will show home energy usage in real time on your PC. You set the rate of your electricity charge, plug in your appliance and a monitor will calculate the cost. Forty million trackers are already in use and Google predicts that another 100 million will be bought in the next few years. Studies show that those who have access to home energy information can save up to 15% of their electricity bills. PowerMeter is not yet available but should be soon.

YouTube Testing Pay Per Download Videos
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Google, Home Entertainment, Internet, Movies
YouTube has begun testing a sub-set of their partners with a charge for download. Most of them are available for about $.99 but only as MP4 files. They can be purchased through Google Checkout. This may put an end to the problems that site has had with studios like Warner. If the program is successful, look for them to allow all of its partners to charge for movies and TV shows on the site.

Even Google can screw up. If you noticed yesterday that when you hit a search you got the error screen "may harm your computer," you weren't the only one. The period only lasted about 40 minutes but we guess that was long enough to freak a few Googlers out. Their engine works with stopbadware.org that helps find malicious software then sends a list to them. After updating Saturday, Google accidentally flagged all of their sites. The company attributed the problem to "human error."

Missing Girl Tracked by Cell Phone and Google Street View
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cell Phones, Google, GPS
This should be a lesson to all those parents who complain when their kids ask for cell phones. Utilizing Google Street View and a mobile phone signal, a 9 year-old girl has been found after she was allegedly kidnapped by her grandmother. After Natalie Maltais went missing in Athol, Massachusettes in what was supposed to only be a weekend, police officer Todd Neale used the girl's cell phone to track them. Fire chief Thomas Lozier used View to locate the hotel in Virginia where the child and grandmother were found.

Rural Community Investments - Proposed Rule - Comments received after 8/15/08
James Bruns
111 West Lincoln Street
Iroquois, IL 60945-1300
September 22, 2008
Gary K. Van Meter
Deputy Director, Office of Regulatory Policy
Farm Credit Administration
1501 Farm Credit Drive
McLean, VA 22102-5090
Dear Mr. Van Meter:
Proposed Rule; Funding and Fiscal Affairs, Loan Policies and Operations,
and Funding Operations; Mission-Related Investments, Rural Community
Investments, Farm Credit Administration; 12 CFR Part 615, 73 Federal
Register No. 116; pp 33931; June 16, 1008
I oppose the Farm Credit Administration's (FCA) proposal to allow Farm
Credit System (FCS) lenders to invest up to 150 percent of their capital
surplus on projects unrelated to agriculture.
At its creation, the FCS was granted certain advantages and was charged
with serving a specific mission - helping local farmers and ranchers. The
proposal allows FCS institutions to finance hospitals, healthcare
facilities, transportation, infrastructure, hotels, office parks,
manufacturing, facilities, or any other project the FCA deems appropriate.
The rule goes against the purpose of the FCS.
I am concerned that this change will create safety and soundness problems.
FCS could invest up to $36 billion of surplus in speculative investments
about which the FCA has no experience in evaluating for safety and
When these speculative investments go sour, it would hurt the FCS's credit
rating, resulting in higher interest rates and fees charged to farmers and
ranchers (they very people that FDR wanted to help when the FCA was
created in 1933).
Again, I respectfully request that the Farm Credit Administration withdraw
this overreaching rule.
James K Bruns

- Okavango Delta (Botswana)
- Namib Desert (Namibia)
- Marrakesh (Morocco)

Africa. Travel here is as different from north to south as it is east to west. From Casablanca to Cape Town, Africa offers some of the greatest secrets and travellers' treasures to be found anywhere on earth. The inhabitants, both human and otherwise are no less diverse - Africa is home to modern cities and nomadic villages alike. Whether you're after a peaceful sunrise while on an Africa safari, a camel trek with Berber tribesmen, or a photo op with mountain gorillas, Africa will touch you deeply and beckon you to return again and again.
Kruger, Falls & Zimbabwe (DZKF)
When it comes to raw, in-your-face wildness, southern Africa can't be topped. This trip offers a fully immersive, unyieldingly authentic experience of the natural and cultural wonders of this incredible region. In Zimbabwe's Matobo National Park, you'll track rhinos on foot and the resident wildlife on an open-vehicle game drive, capture the Big Five (with your camera, of course) in South Africa's Kruger National Park and witness the unique traditional dances of the Shangaan people. This isn't a taste of Africa; it's a full-course meal—with seconds.

Southern Africa Encompassed (DAJJ)
When it comes to raw, in-your-face wildness, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe are incredible—and from the vantage of our rugged overland vehicle—even more spectacular. Witness traditional dancing, explore the Okavango Delta with a game walk and bush camping, track rhinos on foot in Zimbabwe's Matobo National Park and capture the Big Five (with your camera, of course) in South Africa's Kruger National Park. All the while, camping keeps you close to the incomparable scenery. This quick tour isn't simply a taste of Africa; it's a full-course meal—with seconds.
Highlights: Spot the Big Five in Kruger National Park, gaze out across Victoria Falls, track rhinos on foot in Matobo National Park, feel the pulse of a continent at a dancing demonstration, discover four diverse countries, explore the Okavango Delta the traditional way on a mokoro canoe excursion.

Teaching Tools, Applications, and Infrastructure for Digital Curation Through the Use of a Virtual Lab
Date: February 2013
Creator: Helsing, Joseph; Lewis, Paulette & Warga, Edward
Description: This document accompanies a poster on teaching tools, applications, and infrastructure for digital curation through the use of a virtual lab. Abstract: With an increased demand for digital curation, data management, archiving, and preservation the library and information science community has begun offering new education and training in these fields. A trend in this education is the use of online virtual labs to offer students hands-on experience with the tools and methodologies inherent to these fields. At the University of North Texas, the authors are also developing a four course education program in digital curation and data management including a course called 'Tools, Applications, and Infrastructure for Digital Curation' that employs a virtual lab component. This paper discusses the first offering of the course; several challenges the authors faced; and the new strategies developed to address these issues and improve the course and virtual lab for the next offering.

Ohio's economy a major factor in the presidential race
Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, a Democrat, argued Sunday the swing state's relatively low unemployment rate is a result of President Barack Obama's economic policies rather than the work of current Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican.
"Ohio is coming back, and we're grateful for that. But the president deserves, in my judgment, the lion's share of the credit," Strickland said on CNN's "State of the Union."
With a jobless rate of 7.2% in August, the state fell below that month's national average of 8.1%, which ticked down to 7.8% in September.
The debate over the president's impact versus that of the governor is a main point of contention in the crucial battleground. Democrats argue the federal auto bailout made the difference in Ohio, while Republicans point to Kasich's policies of lowering taxes and easing regulations.
In the last 12 elections, no candidate has won the White House without winning the Buckeye State. Obama's re-election campaign and Mitt Romney's team have flooded the state with campaign ads and events, with the candidates, running mates and wives making a combined total of 65 stops in the state since June.
Another Ohio political heavyweight - the state attorney general, former U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine, a Republican - argued Romney's widely applauded debate performance has changed the race in Ohio.
"Romney is going to carry Ohio. It's going to be a very, very close race. But this race fundamentally changed Wednesday night," he told CNN Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley, citing a feeling of "tremendous energy" for the GOP candidate.
DeWine praised Romney for appearing presidential and argued Obama could not defend his record for the last four years.
Hitting back, Strickland teased he would bet on the president to win the state.
"If I was as rich as Mitt Romney, I would bet DeWine $10,000 that the president is going to win Ohio," the former governor said, referring to the now-infamous bet Romney suggested with Texas Gov. Rick Perry at a Republican primary debate.
Strickland added that Wednesday's debate may be remembered more for Romney's performance than his honesty.
"Romney did well in the debate," he said. "I give him a B+ on style but I give him a D- on substance and truthfulness. Mitt Romney did not tell the truth."
A recent NBC/Wall Street Journal/Poll poll showed Obama with an eight-point edge over Romney, 51%-43%, with a sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
That poll falls in line with CNN's Poll of Polls, which averages three Ohio polls of likely voters in the last two weeks and indicates Obama at 52% and Romney at 43%. As an average of multiple polls, it does not have a calculable sampling error.

2009 Movie. Director: Sori. 120 minutes. DVD, bilingual, $49.98. Distributor: FUNimation.
The tale of Zatoichi is no stranger to generations of Japanese fans of samurai lore. The wandering blind masseur and swordsman, who protects the innocent and oppressed, has been a fictional character of the page, the subject of 26 films from 1962-1989, and even a television series during the earlier 70's. Hell, even Rutger Hauer enacted the American adaptation Blind Fury in 1990. The shikomi-zue (cane sword) gripped by a deceptively feeble old man is iconic in the minds of marital artists and fans worldwide.
Watch this movie! You won't be surprised why Ichi has received endless acclaim. As adaptations go, it's spot on. The essential spirit of Zatoichi is ever-present: the impoverished rags, the famous cane sword, the protection of the innocent, the town in need, and, of course, that deadly swordplay enhanced by heightened senses. Yet, Ichi has been given a dramatic subplot that effortlessly complements the expected slaying of wandering bandits and ronin thugs. The painful search for the blind sword teacher, who may be her father, paints her with an introverted coldness that often typifies great antiheroes. And Toma, the lost master swordsman, creates romantic tension that actually helps move the story to its climaxing battle.
Needless to say, a lot of films are predictable, and Ichi definitely has its predictable moments. But a good amount of anticipation over what will become of Ichi and Toma is artfully created. Taking this into account, the great swordplay, and even a classic street brawl between gangs of sword-wielding yakuza and ronin, and you've got a movie that just can't disappoint.
This film also boasts a few renowned Japanese figures: Takao Osawa (Midnight Eagle), Shidou Nakamura (Letters from Iwo Jima), Haruka Ayase (famous model and now actor), and fight choreographer Hiroshi Kuze (Ran, The Twilight Samurai).
A nod definitely goes to Haruka Ayase. As Ichi, this movie entirely rests on her shoulders. She turns in an exceptional performance. And, of course, it doesn't hurt that she's not only hot, but also purely elegant. I think I just found the title of my future autobiography: "How I Ended Up With Haruka Ayase."
Samurai fan or not, Ichi is simply great cinema.

Letter: Reader gives positive review on Westmont burger shop
To the Editor:
My kids and I like to shop at community establishments as much as we can to help the local economy.
A recent stop was at Canyons Burgers, on 63rd Street in Westmont just west of Cass Avenue. The place is fairly new and is clean and modern.
The best news is that the hamburgers are excellent! Made fresh and with ingredients that you select when placing your order, the Canyons hamburger is just as good if not better than the offerings from places like Meatheads and Five Guys.

Welcoming our new CTO, Daniel Berg and CSO, Christopher S. Dean
Just under a fortnight ago, Josh Silverman blogged about Skype's plans for the coming months. We've been making some changes to the way we work, restructuring and expanding our teams to help them work more effectively, and part of that process involves hiring new people at all levels. You can check out our jobs site for a list of vacancies – there are 55 at the time of writing.
Today, however, we're very pleased to have filled two vacancies with fantastic new additions to our senior staff. Very shortly, Daniel Berg will hop on board as Chief Technology Officer and Christopher S. Dean starts straight away as Chief Strategy Officer. Both of them will report directly to Josh.
Daniel Berg
Daniel Berg's primary responsibility will be to drive innovation and ensure Skype continues to develop great software. With a mandate covering Skype's full range of products, he will develop and maintain a global team of more than 300 staff.
Daniel joins Skype after 15 years at Sun Microsystems, most recently as CTO for their Global Sales and Services Division and Vice President of Systems Engineering for Sun's Emerging Markets Region. He joins the team on the 1st January 2009. There's some more about Dan on his Sun blog.
Christopher S. Dean
Christopher S. Dean will focus on Skype's strategy, including the development of partnerships and strategic alliances with other like-minded organisations and the acquisition of companies and technologies for Skype. His team will act as the incubator and strategic planning hub for new ideas and projects which support Skype's technology vision and long term corporate goals.
Christopher brings to Skype over 20 years of experience in the technology industry, and has previously specialised in strategy consulting and corporate and business development. Most recently he was co-founder of Texada Capital. Christopher starts at Skype this week.
You can find full biographies for Daniel and Christopher in the accompanying press release. Another recent joiner at executive level is our head of HR, Anne Gillespie. Prior to joining Skype a month ago, Anne spent much of her career with major technology corporations, including Compaq and HP.

I'm getting old.
I first enlisted into the military in 1975.
Yep, I've seen a bunch during nine years of active duty and another 29 years of reserve time in both the Navy and the Army. The trouble is, as I near 55, I just can't remember much of it anymore.
I'm guilty of a grievous breech of southern etiquette. I fail to wave back to people when driving down the road. If you've ever waved to me when you've seen me driving then please don't take offense if I didn't wave back. I never see anything except those white and yellow lines while driving down the road. I never look into other people's cars while driving. I didn't even know that people were waving to me until my kids mentioned it one day.
The Internet: That daily source of information upon which so many of us depend for so much —from the daily news to updates on friends and their status — cannot only be an avenue offering help for today and even hope for tomorrow, but also unfortunately, an escort to our demise, bouncing us along the boulevard of broken dreams, pointing us finally to the exit ramp that lands us in a parking lot bound by past mistakes.
St. Dominic Elementary School will host its inaugural "Night of Knights" alumni celebration on Feb. 9 at St. Dominic Parish Community Center. I'll give you a little more information about this at the end of the column. But first, as in all good schools, let's have a history lesson.
To the editor:
This is in reference to my friend Ken Begley's column last week ("NRA: Shooting from the hip").
He has let the horror of the slaughter in Connecticut cloud his logic.
"You don't seem like a preacher, at least not a typical one. You're 'the real deal.'"
The comment, coming from an inmate in jail, I took as a compliment, although I frequently ask myself if I'm really real.
His comment was followed by a question: "How did you ever get to be a preacher in the first place? ("Do you think I should have been something else?" I am tempted to ask.)
Thank God everyday you live here in the United States.
For all our problems, I believe it is still the most free country in the world. We may not follow the Bible very well but we do have the right to read — or not to read it — and then use our God-given free will to do what we please.
In many other countries, people are so threatened by the Bible that you would be shot down where you stand if you professed a faith in Jesus Christ. Forgive me, but if you don't believe this to be true then you are most incredibly ignorant or naive.
Look at that dapper guy up there. Why's he wearing that black bow tie? It's a special occasion, that's why.

"We never wanted a war," he said. "Once the war started, we were hoping that ... they'd come to their senses and stop right then. ... After 38 days, we got to a point where we could launch the ground war and, by that time, they hadn't withdrawn."
While his role in the Gulf War made him famous, Schwarzkopf told King, war itself and the bloodshed that went with it didn't appeal to him.
"I hate war. Absolutely, I hate war," he said. "Good generalship is a realization that ... you've got to try and figure out how to accomplish your mission with a minimum loss of human life."
In his autobiography, "It Doesn't Take A Hero," Schwarzkopf outlined the reasons that coalition forces didn't press on to the Iraqi capital during the first Gulf War.
"Had the United States and the United Kingdom gone on alone to capture Baghdad, under the provisions of the Geneva and Hague conventions we would have been considered occupying powers and therefore would have been responsible for all the costs of maintaining or restoring government, education and other services for the people of Iraq."
Schwarzkopf wrote that had "we taken all of Iraq, we would have been like a dinosaur in the tar pit -- we would still be there, and we, not the United Nations, would be bearing the costs of that occupation."
Schwarzkopf supported the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, though he later criticized the Pentagon for what he called mistakes that included sending undertrained Reserve and National Guard troops into combat.
Schwarzkopf retired in August 1991, hit the lecture circuit and briefly was a military analyst for NBC.
He told King that he was asked to run for U.S. Senate.
"I got off the airplane and they came after me to, you know, run for senator in Florida, and I told them, 'No,' " he said. "I'm not a politician. I'd make a lousy politician."
Born in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1934, he was named H. Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. after his father.
His father, Major Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, a West Point graduate who fought in World War I, became head of New Jersey State Police, helping to build the fledgling force and eventually leading the investigation of the infamous Lindbergh baby kidnapping.
"The day I was born, my father said ... 'That boy is going to West Point,' " Schwarzkopf recalled to King. "And that's the only thing I ever heard my entire young life."
After World War II, according to the book, the younger Schwarzkopf traveled to Iran to be with his father, who was helping advise the training of the country's police force under the shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
Schwarzkopf attended a Swiss boarding school and later returned to the New York region to enroll at West Point before heading to Vietnam for the first time in 1966.
"I prided myself on being unflappable even in the most chaotic of circumstances," he wrote. "That guise lasted until Vietnam, where I realized that I was dealing with human lives and if one were lost, it could never be replaced. I quickly learned that there was nothing wrong with being emotional."
He was commissioned a second lieutenant and served two tours of duty in Vietnam, where he received three Silver Stars. In 1983, he led troops during the invasion of Grenada.
Schwarzkopf, who died in Tampa, Florida, is survived by his wife, Brenda, two daughters and a son.

The Delta Hospital Foundation has announced that Sarah Lockhart, a Grade 12 student at Delta Secondary, is the 2012 Robert T. Reynolds Memorial Scholarship recipient.
In a ceremony at the foundation office Monday, Lockhart, who had her parents in attendance, was awarded the annual scholarship. Georgina Reynolds, wife of the late Robert T.
Reynolds, also attended the presentation.
One of the Delta Centennial Hospital Society's first chairman and a member of a pioneer family, Robert T. Reynolds made outstanding contributions to the community and dedicated much of his time and energy towards obtaining a hospital for Delta.
His "call to arms" in 1976 for the residents of Delta to join the society, along with his dedication and perseverance in the face of many obstacles, were major factors in Delta Hospital becoming a reality.
Lockhart's dedication to Delta exemplifies Reynolds' perseverance for his community and her commitment to local and international organizations made her an ideal candidate for the scholarship.
She is the president of DSS' First Responders program, which provides first aid to the school and community. She spearheaded the BabyCakes for Molly fundraiser and has worked with the International Friendship Association and Camp Goodtimes to help children in Nicaragua and across Canada.
Lockhart has been accepted to study at the University of Alberta in the faculty of nursing after which she hopes to enter medicine.
"For longer than I can remember, I have dreamed of becoming a doctor after battling childhood cancer," she said. "Being in the hospital gave me the opportunity to meet some amazing nurses and doctors, and I really admire and appreciate what they do for others."
A scholarship of $1,000 is awarded annually in recognition of Robert T.
Reynolds' exemplary service to his community. The scholarship is open to all Grade 12 students residing in Delta that intend to undertake post-secondary education. An applicant's success is measured on their participation in extracurricular activities, community volunteerism and academic achievement.

As a registered member, you'll be able to:
I know this has been asked a million times before but I need some info/guidance on installing an amp for my 2004 Mercury Sable.
I'm generally good with home electronics but have NEVER attempted anything with Car Audio (Except swapping out my factory Speakers).
I have a 4 Channel Lightning Audio Amp (B2.300.2). I pulled it from my car I just sold a few months ago. It's in perfect condition.
I want to use the amp to power these Speakers (Bought from Crutchfield):
and a 10'' Rockford Fosgate 10'' Sub.
I know I will have to bridge it down to 2 Channels (Amp will Power Sub and Front Speakers......)
NOW, What do I need to purchase to install these things into my Car. I want to keep the Stock Radio.
How hard is an amp install for someone who is not very "Tool-Time"? There is soooo much info out there that I cant get a firm grasp of what to do!
Okay - I'm not sure what you are confused on, so I'll try to cover the basics and you can ask anything that is not clear.
First off:
Did you buy one or two pairs of the Alpine speakers? What is the model and impedance of the Rockford sub?
demert858I know I will have to bridge it down to 2 Channels (Amp will Power Sub and Front Speakers......)
Negative - you will want to use the front channels of the amp for the main speakers and probably bridge the rear channels to the sub - that is a 3-channel setup.
Wait - scratch that - I was thinking it was a 4-channel amp. You can't really do what you want. The amp would power a single sub bridged or the front speakers unbridged. It WILL NOT effectively power front speakers and a sub - you need at least a 4-channel amp for that.
(You COULD wire the sub to the left channel and the front speakers in parallel to the right channel, but you will lose all stereo separation and I can't recommend it to you).
Sable Wiring - You have the infamous "Trunk Tuner" - somewhat convenient in this case, but not the best beginner project.
Amp manual here - The amp uses two 20A fuses and should do the rated 300W RMS total. It also has both speaker-level inputs and RCA outputs which are nice features in an amp like this.
You need a different amp, but let's cover the basics so you know what you can do:
Let's break this down into power wiring, signal wiring, and speaker wiring.
Power Wiring - You will want to run an 8-gauge wiring kit and maybe two pairs of RCA cables. You will need to run the power wire from the battery through the firewall to the trunk - that is the hardest part of the install. The ground wire connects to bare metal in the trunk (assuming the amp is trunk mounted). The stereo doesn't have a remote turn-on lead, so you would probably want to run a wire from a 12V ACC circuit in the fuse box using a fuse tap or add-a-circuit.
Speaker wiring - If it were me - I would probably use this for a main amp, you could run both front and rear speakers in parallel off each channel, but you will lose fader control. You could then use the RCA outputs to a subwoofer amplifier. (Actually, if it were me, I would buy a 4-channel amp with speaker-level inputs and RCA outputs and use your LA amp for a subwoofer, but ...)
Signal wiring - The amp shipped with a couple of Molex Plugs for speaker-level inputs. If you still have them, you can use them. If not, you would need to get a LOC. The head unit does not have a subwoofer level control or output, so you would have to use your front or rear speakers to feed the subwoofer amp - or use the RCA outputs.
Hope This Helps!!!
Anyone else have suggestions?
2002 Ford Focus JVC KD-A815 Sony CDX-GT410u Sony XT-100HD HD Tuner Stock speakers, no amp, no subs
I'm confused now...
It is a 4 Channel Amp (Mode is actually B2.300.4...4 Channel Version..Oops .
When it was last installed, the Amp powered my front speakers and the Sub.
I bought 2 sets of those speakers.....
I want to power the front speakers and the sub with the amp. The last speakers it powered were Infinity's
The Sub is a RF Punch 2 Sub:
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-I2uGSwOkobU/p_575P210D2/Rockford-Fosgate-P210D2.html <Mod Edit: Linked to Crutchfield. Please link to Crutchfield's Item Page or manufacturer's website. Thanks.>
I bought the sub from Crutchfield but it's no longer available to see the specs.....
So, I want to hook it up like it was in my last car.....This time I'm using a stock radio.
I appreciate all of the help!!
B2.300.4 is a completely different animal than the B2.300.2 - 4-channel amp and it uses two 25A fuses instead of two 20A fuses, so it is not twice the power. That last bit is irrelevant and the manual link I posted still works, but a lot of my reply was based on it being a two-channel amp.
Okay - first off, you have three ways you can connect this up:
Now - once you decide on an option above:
The power wiring really isn't affected by this.
The signal wiring really isn't either - you need the LOC if you don't have the molex plugs, you don't if you do have them.
If you are still confused, post back on what you are lost on.
That's a lot of great info
I'm thinking that I will run the Front Speakers/Sub off of the amp and have the back speakers go off of the Factory Stereo.
Just reading all of this, I feel like it's out of my league
I understand the process for the most part....I;m not so confident though!
Is there a Watered down, step by step place where I can see how an install like this would go?
this might help -
demert858I'm thinking that I will run the Front Speakers/Sub off of the amp and have the back speakers go off of the Factory Stereo.
That will work fine, but you will lose fader control (but you do with MOST of the other options that keep the rear speakers also.) In this case, you would want to CUT the front speaker wires to feed the amp and splice into the rear speaker wires to feed the subwoofer.
demert858Is there a Watered down, step by step place where I can see how an install like this would go?
We can walk you through most of it, but let's answer a couple of questions first:
I do not have any adapters for the amp........
As far as as my skill level....I've put together all of my furniture...Bikes etc. I'm good with Home Electronics. I'm decent with Computers. I tinker with my RC Cars....
I THINK I can handle the install.....Just don't want to screw anything up. When I installed the Speakers, I was a bit stressed lol....
and that was super simple
If you could install the speakers, we can walk you through the amp install.
Do you know where you want to put the amp - trunk or under the seat are typical locations?
Do you care about keeping the fader (front to rear)?
I can explain how to do that with Y-adapters, but if you don't care either way, it's easier to wire it without that capability.
I do not care about having the fading or not....
Since the Front Speakers are going to be powered by the Amp, the back speakers are going to be more to balance the sub out!!!
Another question....
Let's say I want to go Front/Sub powered by the amp but it underwhelms me because it's not a hatchback.....Can I go back and switch it to power all 4 speakers?
Again you guys are great!
I could have misunderstood what you are saying, but I don't think I did, and I think you are missing some important concepts, but anyway ...
demert858the back speakers are going to be more to balance the sub out!!!
The back speakers are going to be getting maybe 10W RMS from the factory head unit. They aren't going to be balancing the front speakers out, much less the subwoofer - in fact, I'm not sure there's much point connecting them at all, but I haven't had enough experience with amped front non-amped rear speakers to say that conclusively.
demert858Let's say I want to go Front/Sub powered by the amp but it underwhelms me because it's not a hatchback.....Can I go back and switch it to power all 4 speakers?
The hatchback comment confused me, but I am assuming you mean the sub underwhelms you b/c it has to play through the back seat.
You would have a couple of options:
Without being too much of a wise-***, you can go back and do anything, including wiring in a carputer and 17-inch monitor in the dash and four 12-inch subs in the trunk - but it's always best to decide what you want and do it correctly the first time than re-do it later - if you can figure that out.
I used to have this gear in a 5 dr hatchback and it was plenty loud....
Taking this gear into a sedan I'm not sure how the sub will do....
Maybe I should just wire it for the 4 Speakers....Add the sub later!!!
It would probably work fine the way you planned to do it - but there's no real reason you can't try it both ways.
If it were my car:

Eco Alkalines™ and Grainger Team Up to Promote Carbonfree® Batteries
LEI Electronics and Eco Alkalines™ Batteries are pleased to announce their latest launch with W.W. Grainger, Inc. (Grainger), a Chicago-based Fortune 500 company that shares the Eco Alkalines ™ vision for creating and supplying sustainable businesses and communities.
Grainger is committed to environmental stewardship in their operations and are dedicated to being a leader in sustainability. In addition to operating Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified facilities and working with the U.S. Green Building Council, Grainger is the first industrial distributor to publically disclose their carbon footprint through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).
Like Grainger, Eco Alkalines™ batteries are committed to environmental sustainability and green innovation. Eco-Alkalines™ batteries are environmentally friendly and landfill safe. They are manufactured with earth friendly derivatives and contain 0% trace amounts of harmful metals such as Mercury, Cadmium and Lead.
Eco Alkalines™ batteries have been certified Carbonfree® by Carbonfund.org Foundation and NSF Sustainability for the past three years. This program requires that the batteries' complete cradle-to-grave life cycle is analyzed, the per-unit carbon emissions is determined then neutralized for each battery unit sold. In addition to neutralizing life cycle carbon footprints, the batteries continue to meet and exceed some of the most important international standards such as PAS 2050 (carbon label standard) and ISO 14044 (life cycle assessment standard), and they can be used to count towards prerequisites and credits in LEED certified building projects and building operation.
In addition to their innovative and unique green credentials and applications, Eco Alkalines™ perform equal to or better than the leading national brands in performance and longevity tests. Eco Alkalines™ have a guaranteed 5-year shelf life and a unique patented leak resistant seal ensuring that they will not leak into your devices.
Despite their pioneering eco accolades and novel technology, Eco Alkalines™ batteries are competitively priced compared to the leading national brands. As eco-friendly technology evolves to a 'must' rather than a choice, Eco Alkalines™ does not believe that consumers and companies should have to pay a premium for a green product.
Eco Alkalines™ is a great choice for environmentally-conscious consumers, as the brand continues to create an environmental awareness with a message of its commitment to reduced world-wide carbon emissions and its suggestion to use recycled material and recycle when and where possible. Customers can purchase Eco Alkalines™ batteries and other green products through a retail branch, in the 2013 Grainger catalog or on www.grainger.com and www.acklandsgrainger.com.

"These easy twice baked potatoes get their creamy texture from a rich cream cheese filling. Double the recipe if you're having guests over or want leftovers." — tplbml
Watch video tips and tricks
2 baking potatoes
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 pinch paprika, or to taste
My kids loved these but I did make some minor adjustments. I "baked" my potatoes in the microwave instead of the oven. Once scooped I sprayed the potato skins with cooking spray so they would crisp a little when later baking. I needed to add more milk than what was called for to get a creamy and fluffy consistency. I just added milk a little at a time until the consistency was correct. I also salted to taste.
These were SO good! I was licking the bowl and couldn't stop snacking on the filling. I baked 4 potatoes, took out the filling of all 4, but only used 2 potatoes to fill back up (so that the filling would be nice and thick, piled up high!) I also threw in a small handful of sharp cheddar cheese after mixing it together. Oh, I completely forgot to add the butter...it doesn't even need it! It's so rich from the cream cheese you won't miss it! You could add additional toppings like bacon and sour cream if you want to go the extra mile, but again, it doesn't even need it! Tasty!
10 Ratings
I made these substituting heavy cream for milk (I had some leftover that I needed to use) and Mascarpone cheese for cream cheeese (again, it's what I had on hand). Simple, easy to make, and absolutely delicious. I love that you don't need a lot of ingredients to make something to incredibly good.
I made these tonight for supper. Had my daughter and grand daughter (2 years old) over for dinner and thought that I'd make these. I added some real bacon bits to the potato mixture before putting them into the oven.....I was told that these were excellent. I'd make this again, for sure.
I believe these were the best twice baked potatoes I've ever had. I did modify them slightly by adding two cups of shredded cheddar (I made four potatoes though) and I used the entire thing of cream cheese (8oz) instead of the 6oz that it would be for doubling the recipe. I also know I used more than two Tbsp of milk, probably more like four. I then topped the potatoes with some shredded cheddar and baked. They were so amazing! We have tried so many twice baked potato recipes and this one is the winner!!!
These were delicious! I only made two, so I microwaved them and followed the recipe exactly after that. It seems that the serving size is off...one nice size baking potato is good for two people. Thanks for the great recipe!
Made this Sunday and was impressed. This will be the baked potato of choice in our house.
This is the best twice baked potato recipe I have ever tried. The one thing I changed was added more cream cheese. Fabulous.

Mana Pools was an amazing experience too. I absolutely loved Kanga Camp (I hope you get to visit one day!) and had the most fantastic time. Definitely one of my most memorable and relaxing travel experiences ever. It was a real honor to stay in such comfort while being in amongst the most amazing wildlife.
It's hard to choose a favourite but the elephants stole my heart. Watching the lion and leopards drink at night was a true privilege and I'd love to see more of the painted dogs who popped into camp one night. I have a lot of amazing stories to write about Zimbabwe. So I just wanted to send you a quick thank you now although I can't express my gratitude in an email. I hope when my blog posts and articles come out that will be the best thank you I can give you. I can't wait to share the stories and photos with you and my readers.
I love Zimababwe and am honored to be working with you to help promote it and make sure it gets the recognition and visitors it deserves.
Thank you again, a thousand times :)
Best wishes.

Eric Parker (Robert Pattinson), left, and his chauffeur (Abdul Ayoola) on their tonsorial quest
Cosmopolis might qualify as the Das Boot of Wall Street movies, but, instead of unfolding inside a U-boat, the movie plays out almost entirely within a white stretch limousine — in pursuit of the strange horror, not to mention the sheer tedium, of driving across New York for a haircut.
In the David Cronenberg adaptation of a Don DeLillo novel, Robert Pattinson plays a 28-year-old billionaire, Eric Packer, who decides that his perfectly coiffed do needs a trim.
Despite the objections of his security chief, who warns that the visiting president is closing down much of the city, Eric insists on proceeding to his favorite barbershop.
In an Odyssey-like turn, he stumbles upon a parade of characters and hazards. He runs into his new wife, an old flame, a water-main break, a pie-throwing deviant and an anti-capitalist riot. He gets out of the limo for a hotel tryst but remains inside for his daily prostate exam.
All the while, he talks. And talks. And talks.
Urgent dialogue seemingly bursts forth at every moment — yet what does anyone actually say?
Various figures (played by Juliette Binoche, Paul Giamatti and Samantha Morton, among others) unload endless streams of philosophical observations, but the abstract words don't have much effect.
The intentionally stilted interactions give the film a dreamlike quality that is bolstered by bizarre situations.
In one scene, Eric has a suggestive conversation with a sweat-drenched woman, all the while undergoing his aforementioned medical procedure. Later, the billionaire and an employee seem untroubled by rioters who shake the car and spray-paint its windows. The pair witness a man who has set himself ablaze yet they can barely be bothered to shrug at the fiery spectacle.
Time seems fluid, as individuals continue to materialize inside the limo, although viewers never see them enter or exit.
Cronenberg has a gift for creating a certain atmosphere, with the feeling here being a curious blend of pleasant absurdity and disconcerting unpredictability.
Despite the thick dialogue, the endeavor proves compelling because almost anything seemingly might happen.
The abstruse discourse might be better appreciated by a reader than a moviegoer.
When two characters enter a discussion, each often seems to be speaking to himself — or past the other — about only tangentially related topics. The give-and-take is minimal, meaning that the " conversation" seems more like two parallel streams — a tack that is somewhat amusing initially but grows tiresome, as there is never enough silence to ponder what anyone is saying.
As the day wears on, viewers realize that Eric has lost his fortune but doesn't seem to mind. At one point, he even kills someone without a second thought.
The only things he seems to care about are sex, his asymmetrical prostate and the haircut.
The film probably carries a deeper message about the inability of money to fulfill insatiable appetites.
But its overriding idea seems best summed up by the first limo visitor (Jay Baruchel), who wonders: "Do you ever get the feeling you have no idea what's going on?"

Airbus A380 take-off distance How long of a runway does as a380 need
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- In the last video we figured out that
- given a takeoff velocity of 280 km/h
- and if we have a positive value for any of these vectors
- we assume that it's in the forward direction for the runway
- Given this takeoff velocity, and a constant acceleration of 1 m/s^2
- we figured out that it would take an Airbus A380 about 78 seconds to take off
- What I want to figure out in this video
- is that given all these numbers
- how long of a runway does it need?
- Which is a very important question
- if you want to build a runway that can at least allow Airbus A380 to take off
- you probably want it to be a little longer than that
- just in case it takes a little bit longer than expected to take off
- But what is the minimum length of the runway, given these numbers
- so we want to figure out the displacement
- or how far does this plane travel, as it's accelerating at 1 m/s^2
- to 280 km/h...or to 78 m/s...I converted it right over here
- as it accelerates to 78 m/s
- how much land does this thing cover?
- So we can say, so let's call this the displacement
- is going to be equal to...
- So displacement is equal to...you can view it as Velocity times Time
- but the velocity here is changing
- if we just had a constant velocity for this entire time
- we could just multiply that times however long it's traveling
- and it would give us the displacement
- But here our velocity is changing
- but lucky for us, we learned...
- (I would encourage you to watch the video on average velocity for constant acceleration)
- but if you have constant acceleration
- and that is what we are assuming in this example
- If you assume that your acceleration is constant
- then you could come up with something called an *average velocity*
- And the average velocity...if your acceleration is constant...
- if and only if your acceleration is constant
- then your average velocity will be the average of your final velocity and your initial velocity
- and so in this situation, what is our average velocity?
- well our average velocity, let's do it in m/s
- is going to be our final velocity, which is
- (let me calculate it down here)
- so our average velocity in this example
- Velocity_average in this example...
- is going to be our final example...78 m/s
- plus our initial velocity,. But what's our initial velocity?
- We're assuming we're starting at a standstill
- ...plus 0...
- all of that over 2
- So our average velocity in this situation
- 78 divided by 2 is 39 m/s
- and the value of an average velocity
- in this situation, in any situation
- the value of an average velocity
- is that we could figure out our displacement
- by multiplying our *average velocity* times the <i>time</i> that goes by
- times the change in time
- So we know the change in time is 78 seconds...
- we know our average velocity here is 39 m/s...
- (just the average of 0 and 78..39 m/s)
- Another way to think about it
- if you want to think about the distance traveled
- this plane is constantly accelerating
- so let me draw a little graph here
- this plane's velocity-time graph will look something like this
- so this is time...and this is velocity right over here
- this plane has a constant acceleration starting with 0 velocity
- it has a constant acceleration
- this slope right here is its constant acceleration
- it should actually be a slope of 1, given the numbers in this example
- And the distance traveled
- is the area under this curve, up to 78 seconds
- because that's how long it takes for it to take off
- so the distance traveled is this area right over here
- (which we will cover in another video)
- Or let me give you the intuition of why that works...
- why distance is area under a velocity-time line
- What an average velocity is, is some velocity
- and in this case it's exactly right between our two...
- our final and initial velocities
- But if you take that average velocity
- for the same amount of time
- you would get the exact same area under the curve
- or you would get the exact same distance
- So our average velocity is 39 m/s times 78 seconds
- and let's just get our calculator out for this
- we have 39*78...gives us 3042
- so this gives us 3042...
- and then m/s times second just leaves us with meters
- so you need a runway of over 3000 meters
- for one of these suckers to take off
- or over 3 kilometers, which is about 1.8 or 1.9 miles
- just for this guy to take off

Mammoth schools superintendent Rich Boccia said this week he is pushing to make the town a designated training site for U.S. Olympic athletes.
Boccia, who has Olympic organizing experience in Colorado Springs and the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, made his pitch to the town's Recreation Commission on Tuesday.
"It would appear to me, based on the conversations here in town and given the athletes we have, we should find, somehow, to build an action plan to apply to the Olympic Committee to become an Olympic training site," Boccia said.
Peter Korfiatis is back at Mammoth Mountain after five years in multiple coaching roles with the U.S. Ski Team, a spokesperson for the Mammoth Mountain Ski Team said Friday.
Korfiatis will be filling a new role with the Mammoth Mountain Ski Team as Performance Director. In the new position, he will be overseeing the implementation, evaluation and further development of Mammoth's world class athletic programs.  Korfiatis coached for Mammoth 2000-2007.
I was so disappointed when I found out about June Mountain closing, I refused to believe it. I mean, in my position, it just seemed impossible that all of those people would lose their jobs. I just couldn't bear it. But when the problem finally sunk in, my sister Ellery, best friend Jordyn, and I began to brainstorm all sorts of ideas left and right.
High up in a big, rock-strewn Sierra basin, below a little-known ridge that overlooks everything, a little turquoise lake disappears into a big hole in the ground, water rushing down, sounding like nothing so much as a bathroom shower drain.
Another lake—rockbound and swimming-warm even in late June—lies teal and clean down the road a ways and another—dark blue and icy—lies a bit farther on.
Now that the Reds Meadow Road is open again, there is a lot going on in the Valley. Here's a summary of some of the events:
Ranger-led walk to Devils Postpile This 1 hour, 1 mile walk includes topics such as wildlife, resource conservation, and the geology of the Devils Postpile formation. It begins every day at 11:00am at the Devils Postpile Ranger Station (shuttle stop #6).
Evening Campfire Programs
It is hard enough to spot downhiller Stacey Cook on a downhill course.
Mammoth's Olympic downhiller is by you in a whoosh—a split-second of wind and snow, set against an audible backdrop of oohs and aahs.
But last week, she outdid herself.
With a roar of jet engines, Cook and Olympic teammate Kelly Clark buzzed by Mammoth Mountain in a U.S. Navy fighter jet from Fallon, Nev., leaving her and Clark as exhausted as a downhill race or a day in the halfpipe.
Thirty-four years ago, on a hot July day in Idaho Falls, Idaho, my mother grabbed her five kids, ages 6 to 13 years old, her reluctant husband, a long-nosed collie dog, and herded us all into the wilderness backcountry for the first time.
We wore Levis and flannel shirts and giant, five-pound leather boots with thick soles that killed our young and tender feet with gleeful abandon.
We carried awkward, heavy external frame packs that killed our young and tender shoulders and hips with equal abandon.
The Summer Solstice—the longest day and shortest night of the year—occurred last week, heralding the beginning of summer in the Western Hemisphere.
The long days make summer the idyllic time for outdoor pursuits and backyard barbeques. But for stargazers, the short nights present something of a challenge.
"It doesn't really get totally dark until after midnight and it begins to lighten up by 4 a.m.," said local, retired astronomer Ron Oriti.
"If you never want to go hiking with me again, I completely understand."
It was supposed to be a quick run up to the White Mountains to watch last Sunday's eclipse, then another quick run down the mountains and home to Mammoth in time for Monday morning's work deadline.
I wasn't expecting much—just a few hours away from home, a good campfire and meal, and a glimpse of the eclipse.
