Write The Smartphone Champ 4-15-12
April 15, 2012 in Write The Smartphone Champ
Was considering replacing my T-Mobile Galaxy with an iPad to lower monthly cost and save on phone services. I read that iPads have outgoing call capability but incoming calls are only possible if that app your using to make the calls is always open.
The question is how plausible is it to make the switch? $70 vs. $30 a month is logical but is it practical? And does the phone calls subtract from your monthly data allowance?
Perneir, getting rid of your phone and using only a tablet is one of those things that sounds better than it actually is. Toting around a tablet 100% of the time when you're out will become incredibly inconvenient. Yes, there are apps that will Read the rest of this entry →

Area codes 442 and 760
California. The map to the right is now clickable; click on an area code to go to the page for that area code. The area codes in red are Area Codes 442 and 760; all others in blue are California area codes.
North American area codes 442 and 760 are California telephone area codes which encompass much of the southeastern and southernmost portions of the state. The area includes Imperial, Inyo, and Mono counties, as well as portions of San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Kern counties. Area code 760 was split from area code 619 on March 23, 1997.
760 was created on March 23, 1997 out of what was then part of 619. Within a decade, however, 760 was strained to the point that a new area code would be necessary to serve the area. It was decided that the 760 Area Code would split such that the portions of San Diego and Imperial Counties currently served by 760 would change to a new 442 Area Code. However, amid an outpouring of protests from affected residents and businesses, the CPUC decided that 442 would be added as an overlay to 760. Starting October 24, 2009, 760 area code users are required to dial 1 plus the area code when dialing local numbers, except cell phone users, for whom only the area code and seven digit number is needed.
In August 2010, Google began offering phone numbers from Google Voice that use area code 760.[1]

Hoppen, who had lived in Sanford since 2001, was known locally for his charitable contributions, holding at least one family concert a year to collect non-perishable foods for Sanford's Rescue Outreach Mission.
Two years ago the Hoppen Family Christmas Benefit was held at the Wayne Densch Performing Arts Center and his last concert in Sanford was during the January Alive After 5. Both shows helped collect food for the needy in Sanford.
Born in Long Island, N.Y. Hoppen first came on the scene in 1969 when he and John Hall, who later became a congressman for New York, formed the band Boffalongo. While in the band they produced the original recording of "Dancin' in the Moonlight," a song which was later a hit by King Harvest.
Later, Hoppen, Hall and Wells Kelly came together in early 1972 to form the band Orleans. Hoppen's younger brother Lance joined the band the following fall.
The band became known for its hits like, "Still the One," "Dance with Me," and "Love Takes Time."
In 2008, Hoppen along with Pat Travers and members of other bands like Deep Purple, Santana and Survivor played Sanford's annual Star Spangled Sanford event on the Fourth of July.
Hoppen continued to tour with the band throughout the years and was scheduled to appear on a Fox television show this Friday with his brother.
Hoppen is survived by his wife, Patricia Smith Hoppen, daughters, Claire and Maeve, brothers, Lance and Lane and his sister, Lynda.
The family asks that donations be made to your local food bank in his memory.
On Wednesday his wife Patricia wrote on Hoppen's Facebook page, "For his fans, I am deeply sorry for YOUR loss. I know he will be missed."

As CBS News first reported, FEMA has been under heavy fire for failing to acknowledge then adequately address health problems like respiratory illness associated with the toxic chemical formaldehyde found in travel trailers that became home for hundreds of thousands of survivors of Hurricane Katrina. More than 143,000 families have lived in the toxic trailers, and more than 40,000 still do.
Now, CBS News has learned, the public health fiasco reaches beyond FEMA – into the one of the nation's most respected agencies.
CBS News has learned that the Centers for Disease Control, the nation's top public health agency, suppressed repeated warnings from one of its top scientists, raising questions about whether the CDC bowed to pressure from FEMA to conceal the long-term health risks of formaldehyde in the trailers it distributed to hurricane victims – health risks like cancer and birth defects, CBS News chief investigative correspondent Armen Keteyian reports.
A string of internal documents obtained exclusively by CBS News reveal that Dr. Christopher De Rosa, director of the CDC's Division of Toxicology and Environmental Medicine, told his superiors "there is no safe level of exposure" to formaldehyde in trailers. That warning never made its way into any public report about the trailers.

LEO is a walking, talking robot who has the magical ability to to print (in plastic) any object that Carla draws. The other robots have their own special capabilities: H1-H0 prints in metal, Sinclair-10 can find and print objects from a huge catalog of designs, and the others (including AL1C3-D, IRIS-7, and NiXie) have unique talents, too. Readers can come along for the journey, too: all of the objects in the book are printable one way or another.

Author Pat Shaughnessy takes a scientific approach, laying out a series of experiments with Ruby code to take you behind the scenes of how programming languages work. You'll even find information on JRuby and Rubinius (two alternative implementations of Ruby), as well as in-depth explorations of Ruby's garbage collection algorithm.

Merry Christmas in July! My bloggy friend Yvonne at Stone Gable has a Christmas in July party going on right now, and today she posted the most beautiful white poinsettia stockings. Impressive. Truly impressive.
I did not have the pleasure of meeting Mark's Dad. But the story goes that these were one of his favorite cookies. It's been told that, several years, Mark's Mom had to make more of these right before Christmas day because Mark's dad had eaten them all! Ummm-hmmmm ... they're that good.
And they're only 7 ingredients.
Layered in a pan.
That's how they got the name 7 Layer Cookies.
You probably hadn't figured that out, had you??
Now, all snug in the baking pan, these cookies look all innocent, don't they? But ...
... once you cut into them, their layered awesomeness is revealed! And layered awesomeness it is. Truly. Mark's Dad wouldn't steer us wrong!
I invite you to follow The Kitchen is My Playground with Pinterest, Facebook, Google Friend Connect, Linky Followers, bloglovin', or Feedburner. Buttons are in the right sidebar. I'd love to have you back soon!
7 Layer Cookies

Ben Stiller was recently spotted shooting scenes on the set of Secret Life of Walter Mitty in Borgarnes, Iceland. The comedy has been in production for quite a while as we had some pictures from the set beginning back in May. I wonder what Iceland, or at least the location in Iceland has to do with the movie?
PICTURES: Check out more on the Ben Stiller page
It looks pretty cold in these pictures, so the shot must be pretty darn important to the film. I know I wouldn't film anywhere that isn't 72 degrees year round. Maybe that's why my acting career never took off, there aren't too many big movie productions going on San Diego. We really do have the best weather here, if you haven't experienced it you really need to. Just do me a favor and don't drive while you're here.

Masters of all-season fishing and camping, Fishermen's Wharf Resort splashes the calm waters of Mille Lacs Lake with winter and summer activities. Situated on 90 acres of land on the southeastern shore's Big Point, Fishermen's Wharf rests in a protected harbor on a sandy, scorpion-free beach. From this point, it launches chartered fishing trips in the summer and rents ice fishing cabins in the winter.
During chartered fishing trips, guides lead groups across Mille Lacs in search of walleye, Bass, Northern Pike, and Loch Ness monsters. They also explain the seasonal movements of the fish, how to select the best tackle, and how to use electronic detection equipment. Once the lake has frozen over, ice fishing cabins rest on fishing spots where fish are known to congregate and watch humans hold sticks. The cabins feature nine fishing holes, 6 bunk beds, bathrooms, an underwater camera, a TV, DVD player, and microwave oven. Throughout the year, RV camping spots invite visitors to spend a night in rustic surroundings, while an on-site restaurant serves warm meals in full view of the lake.
Eden Guides is in the business of life-changing experiences. Its team of outdoor enthusiasts takes people on voyages and expeditions up mountains, under coral reef ecosystems, and to locations in need of humanitarian aid. Recent trips have offered a chance to safari on the Serengeti and view the migration of more than 500,000 gazelle and zebra or scale two of Mexico's highest peaks, the volcanoes El Pico de Orizaba and Iztaccihuatl. Closer to home, courses on outdoor skills, led by guides with certifications from the American Mountain Guides Association and as wilderness EMTs and first responders. Leave-no-trace, backcountry cuisine, and intro to backpacking classes all ensure that hikers and climbers know how to survive in the wild without needing to barter with the local bears.
Since 1924, Camp Foley has been providing its campers with a quintessential summer sleep-away camp experience. The program is not without its modern twists, though; in addition to water skiing, sailing, canoeing, arts and crafts, archery, and learning how to build a campfire, activities include training for a 3K race or practicing aim during paintball games. Two to three counselors each bunk with 7–12 kids in cabins with wooden bunk beds and shelf space for storage. Accredited by the American Camp Association, the midsize camp aims to foster supportive relationships while teaching kids to build independence and character.
Set amid the north-woods pines of the Brainerd Lakes area, Boats and Beyond Rentals places recreational trailblazers behind the handlebars of electric-start Polaris snowmobiles. Machines chew snow through the Paul Bunyan Trail's network of more than 100 groomed miles as riders hunt down local eateries, bewilder drive-thru attendants, and fuel up at rest stops. Snowmobilers can take the reins right outside the rental office or load the sled into a trailer so they may rev the heated handgrips along their favorite trail.

Chinese folk religion
Chinese folk religion (traditional Chinese: 中國民間宗教 or 中國民間信仰; simplified Chinese: 中国民间宗教 or 中国民间信仰; pinyin: Zhōngguó mínjiān zōngjiào or Zhōngguó mínjiān xìnyăng) or Shenism (pinyin: Shénjiào, 神教),[1][2][3] are labels used to describe the collection of ethnic religious traditions which have historically comprised the predominant belief system in China and among Han Chinese ethnic groups up to the present day. Shenism describes Chinese mythology and includes the worship of shens (神, shén; "deities", "spirits", "awarenesses", "consciousnesses", "archetypes") which can be nature deities, Taizu or clan deities, city deities, national deities, cultural heroes and demigods, dragons and ancestors. "Shenism" as a term was first published by A. J. A Elliot in 1955.[4]
Chinese folk religion is sometimes categorized with Taoism, since over the centuries institutional Taoism has been attempting to assimilate or administer local religions. Chinese folk religion is sometimes seen as a constituent part of Chinese traditional religion, but more often, the two are regarded as synonymous. With around 454 million adherents, or about 6.6% of the world population,[5] Chinese folk religion is one of the major religious traditions in the world. In China more than 30% of the population adheres to Chinese folk religion.[6] Chinese religion mirrors the social landscape, and takes on different meanings for different people.[7]
Both in imperial China and under the modern nation, the state has opposed or attempted to eradicate these practices as "superstition." Yet these practices are currently experiencing a modern revival in both Mainland China and Taiwan.[8][9] Various forms have received support by the Government of the People's Republic of China, such as Mazuism in Southern China (officially about 160 million Chinese are Mazuists),[10] Huangdi worship,[11][12] Black Dragon worship in Shaanxi,[13][14][15] and Caishen worship.[16]
Chinese folk religion holds aspects of ancestral belief systems such as animism and shamanism,[17][18] which include the veneration of (and communication with) ancestors, and energetic streams such as Qi, but also physical phenomena such as the Sun, the Moon, the Earth, the Heaven, and various stars, as well as communication with animals, such as auspices from birds. Related practices have been held by the Chinese people for over three thousand years (such as written in Oracle bone scripts), and alongside Buddhism, Taoism, and various other religions for the past two thousand years. Even in ancient China, religion emphasized documentation and was quite bureaucratic in nature.[19]
Rituals, devotional worship, myths sacred reenactment, festivals and various other practices associated with different folk gods and goddesses form an important part of Chinese culture and Chinese spiritual world concepts today. The veneration of secondary gods does not conflict with an individual's chosen religion, but is accepted as a complementary adjunct, particularly to Taoism. Some mythical figures in folk culture have been integrated into Chinese Buddhism, as in the case of Miao Shan. She is generally thought to have influenced the beliefs about the Buddhist bodhisattva Guanyin. This Bodhisattva originally was based upon the Indian counterpart Avalokiteśvara. Androgynous in India, this Bodhisattva over centuries became a female figure in China and Japan. Guanyin is one of the most popular Bodhisattva to which people pray.
There are many public-domain folk religion texts such as Journeys to the Underworld distributed in temples (often without charge) or sold in religious goods stores or vegetarian shops. Temples for Shenist worship are different from Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries, being administered by local managers, associations and worship communities.
The Chinese deities (gods and goddesses)[edit]
There are hundreds of Chinese Deities (local gods and goddesses) as well as demigods. After apotheosis, historical figures noted for their bravery or virtue are also venerated and honored as ancestral "saints", xians, or heightened to the status of shens, deities. Song Dynasty registered them.[20] Deities reflect the Chinese imperial bureaucracy, and exemplify many characteristics of human officials, such as their fallibility.[7] The following list represents some commonly worshipped deities.
- Shangdi (上帝) is originally the supreme unknowable god, synonymous with the concept of Tian. All the other gods are seen as his hierophanies or intercessors. This title/name was later applied to the supreme deity of various religions, including Yu Huang Dadi and the Christian God.
- Pangu (盘古), the creator god in certain myths. He is usually depicted as a primitive, hairy giant with horns on his head and clad in furs. Pangu set about the task of creating the world: he separated Yin from Yang with a swing of his giant axe, creating the Earth (murky Yin) and the Sky (clear Yang). According to other sources, after Pangu died, his body became the land and other celestial bodies.
- Fuxi (伏羲), also known as Paoxi, a divine patriarch reputed to have taught to humanity writing, fishing, and hunting. Cangjie is also said to have invented writing.
- Nüwa (女娲), also Nüwa, an ancient mother goddess, attributed for the creation of mankind. In later traditions she is described as the twin sister or/and wife of Fuxi. It was said she used rainbow coloured stones to mend the sky when it opened a hole.
- Shennong (神农), also identified as Yandi (炎帝), a divine patriarch said to have taught the ancient Chinese the practices of agriculture. He is often represented as a human with bull horns.
- Huangdi (黃帝), or "Yellow Emperor", the divine patriarch of the Huaxia culture lineage. He is regarded as the founder of China.
- Guan Yu (关羽), also known with the templar names of Guandi and Guan Gong (literally 'Emperor Guan' and 'Lord Guan' respectively), the red-faced, bearded hero of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and symbol of loyalty. He is the patron god of policemen (and also gangsters), war, fortune, and law, as he shows forgiveness, and often also serves as Wu Sheng, the Martial Saint.
- Baosheng Dadi (保生大帝), a divine physician born in the Song Dynasty, whose powers extend to raising the dead. Worship is especially prevalent in Fujian and Taiwan.
- Caishen (财神 "God of Wealth"), who oversees the gaining and distribution of wealth through fortune. He is often the deified manifestation of certain historical personalities such as Zhao Gongming or Bi Gan. His shape is sometimes that of a black and fierce tiger.
- Shoushen (寿神 "Star Lord of Longevity"), who stands for a healthy and long life. He is portrayed as an old balding man with a walking stick in his right hand and a peach in his left.
- Fushen (福神 "Star Lord of Happiness"), he looks like a traditional Chinese feudal lord with red clothing. He symbolizes happiness and joy.
- Lushen (禄神 "Star Lord of Prosperity"), a god of success in work and life. In ancient times he was the patron god of success in imperial bureaucracy.
- The Baxian (八仙), the "Eight Immortals", are important literary and artistic figures who were deified after death and became objects of worship. In Taoism they're worshipped as xians.
- Huye (虎爺), a guardian spirit, often found at the bottom of Taoist temple shrines. Worshipers revere the tiger spirit to curse spiritual enemies. Rituals include stomping an effigy of a spiritual enemy in front of the tiger spirit, as well as sacrificing meat offerings, paper gold, and others.
- The Jiuhuang Dadi (九皇大帝) refer to manifestation of nine stars of the Great Dipper of the North. Their manifestation festival is held over the first nine days of the ninth lunar month to celebrate the return from heaven to earth of the Nine Emperor spirits.
- Mazu (妈祖 "Ancient Mother"), the patroness, also considered as the goddess of sailors. Shrines can be found in coastal areas of Eastern and South-Eastern China. Today, belief in Mazu is especially popular in the South and South-East, including Fujian (福建), Guangdong (廣東), Hainan (海南), Taiwan (台灣), and Hong Kong (香港). She is also a significant deity where emigrants from the provinces have settled, including in Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam.
- Qiye (七爺) and Baye (八爺), two generals and best friends, often seen as giant puppets in street parades. 8 is black, because he drowned rather than miss his appointment to meet with 7, even though a flood was coming. 7 has his tongue sticking out, because he hanged himself in mourning for 8.
- Cheng Huang (城隍), commonly known as "City God" in English, a class of protective deities: each city has a Cheng Huang who looks after the fortunes of the city and judges the dead. Usually these are famous or noble persons from the city who were deified after death. The Cheng Huang Miao (城隍廟) or "City God Temple" was often the focal point of a town in ancient times.
- Tudi Gong (土地公 "God of the Earth"), a genius loci who protects a local place (especially hills), and whose statue may be found in roadside shrines. He is also the god of wealth, by virtue of his connection with the earth, and therefore, minerals and buried treasure.
- Wenchangdi (文昌帝), god of students, scholars, and examination. He is worshiped by students who wish to pass their examinations. Inept examiners in ancient times sometimes sought "divine guidance" from him to decide rank between students.

- Zaoshen (灶神), the "God of the Kitchen", also Zao Jun (灶君), mentioned in the title of Amy Tan's novel, The Kitchen God's Wife. He reports to heaven on the behavior of the family of the house once a year, at Chinese New Year, and is given sticky rice to render his speech less comprehensible on that occasion.
- Songzi Niangniang (送子娘娘) or Zhusheng Niangniang (註生娘娘), a fertility goddess. She is worshiped by people who want children, or who want their child to be a boy.
- Lu Ban (鲁班), the legendary master craftsman from the 5th century BC; patron deity of Chinese craftsmen
Places of worship[edit]
Shenist temples can be distinguished into miao (庙), called "joss houses", "deity houses" and ci (祠), called "ancestral halls" or simply "temples" in English. Both the terms actually mean "temple" in Chinese, and they have been used interchangeably many times. However miao is the general Chinese term for "temple" understood as "place of worship", and can be used for places of worship of any religion. In Chinese folk religion it is mostly associated to temples which enshrine nature gods and patron gods. Instead ci is the specific term for temples enshrining ancestry gods, human beings apotheosized as gods.
"Joss" is a corrupted version of the Portuguese word for "god", deus. "Joss house" was in common use in English in western North America during frontier times, when joss houses were a common feature of Chinatowns. The name "joss house" describes the environment of worship. Joss sticks, a kind of incense, are burned inside and outside of the house.
Shenist temples are distinct from Taoist temples (觀/观 guàn or 道观 daoguan) and Buddhist monasteries (寺 si) in that they are established and administered by local managers, associations and worship communities; only few or no priests stay in folk temples; most are invited. Shenist temples are usually small, very colourful (by contrast with Taoist temples which by tradition should be black and white in color, and Buddhist temples which are characterised by a prevalence of yellow and red tonalities), and decorated with traditional figures on their roofs (dragons and deities), although some evolve into significant structures. Other terms associated to templar structures of Shenism and other religions in China are 宫 gong ("palace"), often used for large temples (even if mostly Taoist) built by imperial officials, and 院 yuan, a general term for "sanctuary", "shrine".
Organizational religions[edit]
There are also many controversial folk religious movements known as secret religions (zh:中国秘密宗教) with different names.[21][22]
Societal impact[edit]
Scholars have studied how Chinese folk religion-inspired society, elastic and polytheistic in spirit, provided the groundwork for the development of dynamic grassroots Chinese-style pre-modern capitalism in Song Dynasty China and modern capitalism in contemporary Taiwan.[23][24][25][26] Chinese folk religion with its ritual economy is also a key in the contemporary economic development in rural Mainland China.[27][28] .
With around 400 million adherents Chinese folk religion is one of the major religions in the world, comprising about 6% of world population.[29][30] In China more than 30% of the population adheres to Shenism or Taoism. In Taiwan, Shenism is highly institutionalised under the label and the institutions of "Taoism", which is adhered by 33% of the population.[citation needed]
In Singapore about 11% of the total population is Taoist, and 14.4% of the Chinese Singaporeans identify as Taoists.[31] In Malaysia, 10.6% of Chinese Malaysians are Shenists-Taoists, corresponding to 3% of the whole country population. In Indonesia, Taosu Agung Kusumo, leader of the Majelis Agama Tao Indonesia, claims there are 5 million Taoist followers in the country as of 2009.[32]
Practice around the world[edit]
Tridharma in Indonesia[edit]
The Chinese folk religion is one of six state religions in Indonesia. The official name is Agama Khonghucu or The Religion of Confucius. The name was chosen because of the political condition in Indonesia at the time, despite all of the Chinese already aware that Confucian should be described as a philosophy, and not a religion. The Chinese in Indonesia had their culture and religious rights restored only after the fourth president of Indonesia, Abdurrahman Wahid or popular by the name of Gus Dur, issued a regulation that states: the acknowledged religions in Indonesia are Islam, Christian, Catholic, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Khonghucu. He said that:
All religions insist on peace. From this we might think that the religious struggle for peace is simple... but it is not. The deep problem is that people use religion wrongly in pursuit of victory and triumph. This sad fact then leads to conflict with people who have different beliefs.[33]
The first precept of Pancasila (i.e, the Five Basic Principles of the Indonesian state) stipulates belief in the one and only God. The Confucian philosophy is able to fulfill this, for Confucius mentioned only one God in his teaching, i.e. the Heaven or Shangdi. The Heaven possess the characteristic of Yuan Heng Li Zhen or Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omnibenevolent, Just.[34]
The Master said, "Great indeed was Yao as a sovereign! How majestic was he! It is only Heaven that is grand, and only Yao corresponded to it. How vast was his virtue! The people could find no name for it. How majestic was he in the works which he accomplished! How glorious in the elegant regulations which he instituted!" (VIII, xix, tr. Legge 1893:214)
Actually, people always refer to the religion as Tridharma. The term was taken from Sanskrit which means Three Teachings or San Jiào in Chinese, the syncretism of three philosophical beliefs of Chinese: Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.[34] Indonesian Chinese uses a temple of their own style which is named Kelenteng or Klenteng, which always consist of three main rooms: the front room for Tian or God, the middle for the main deity of the temple, the back room for the three teachers and their pantheon: (Confucius, Laozi, and Buddha).

ALBANY,GA -- Albany High Students learned about victim's rights Tuesday.
They participated in a ceremony where they heard from representatives from the Liberty House and the Lily Pad--refuge centers for battered and sexually assaulted women and children.
Students learned teenagers are the most common victims of these type crimes.
"It's sad that teenager have to go through all that and I'm glad that we have somewhere to go," says student Kristyn Matkin.
98 pinwheels sat at the edge of the school's marquee symbolizing the 98 victims of violent or sexual crimes from January to March 2012.
Since March, there have been an additional 20 victims.

Video: Land Rover LRX concept
Our first look at Land Rover's new design, from the 2008 Detroit auto show.
Our first look at Land Rover's new design, from the 2008 Detroit auto show.
Some companies just refuse to give up on an idea, no matter how illogical it may be. That seems to be the case with VTech, which is still trying to sell the concept of a land-line phone with computer-like features.
More than a year ago the company came out with its "infoPhone," a cordless handset that included limited online functions, such as getting news headlines and doing local directory searches--a classic example, we thought, of a solution in search of a problem. But this year, rather than ditching the idea, VTech has actually expanded the concept in its … Read more
Ford confirmed Thursday that the company is considering an offer to sell its Jaguar and Land Rover subsidiaries to Tata Motors of India.
"Ford is committed to focused negotiations at a more detailed level with Tata Motors concerning the potential sale of the combined Jaguar-Land Rover business," Lewis Booth, an executive vice president at Ford, said in a statement.
"There is still a considerable amount of work to do, and while no final decision has been made, we will proceed with further substantive discussions with Tata Motors over the forthcoming weeks with a view to … Read more
Several months ago we thought the idea of custom ringtones for home phones was a pretty nifty concept that would be picked up by other manfacturers. Our prediction, naturally, was met with dead silence. But now Hammacher Schlemmer is trying to introduce one such gadget for the masses, claiming the technology as its very own by labeling it "the first home telephone custom ringtone player."
While the hype is to be expected, other aspects of this "first" are less excusable. For starters, there's the $70 price: Do its features really justify costing that much more … Read more
Some phone and gadget makers have understandably sought to make handsets based on Star Trek communicators, but that approach is apparently too subtle for others. Why limit yourself to a single replica, after all, when you can do the whole ship?
The "Star Trek USS Enterprise Telephone" is exactly that, a limited edition that GeekAlerts says even bears the inscription of William Shatner himself. When a call comes in, a red alert sounds and the engines light up.
It's not a mobile phone, however, so your bragging rights will be confined to your own conn. But it … Read more
Against all odds, land lines are valiantly forging ahead in hopes of making an unlikely comeback. Though thoroughly mocked by other gadget blogs, for instance, Motorola debuted its "MOTOLIVN" home phone this week for the European market.
Maybe that's a key part of the strategy: Europe. Because Doro, a manufacturer based in Sweden, is also expanding its continental land-line business. And like other European phone makers--namely Philips and Siemens--Doro is focusing its efforts on form as much as function, if not more.
The company says its "NeoBio" line of DECT phones, for example, comes … Read more
Apparently not everyone is on the verge of ditching their land lanes. That, at least, is what we surmise from the actions of various phone makers, which seem to think there's still business to be had in the home handset market.
Among the models introduced recently are those from Philips and Siemens, while Japan's Amadana even has one that's into leather. The latest, however, comes from a manufacturer that's ensconced in the mobile world, Motorola.
Its "MOTOLIVN" land-line brand will be introduced in Europe first, according to U.K.-based Pocket-lint, and one of … Read more
It's hard to believe that 10 years ago a cell phone was still a novelty. Now it's nearly impossible to imagine life without mobile communication.
As new modes of communication open up, will others go by the wayside? There may be a generational divide opening here, as younger adults in particular start asking themselves what good is a landline anyway? About a quarter of adults age 18 to 29 rely on a mobile phone as their only telephone service.
I am tempted to dump my landline, not because I have an amazing relationship with my mobile phone, but because telemarketers have turned my ringing landline into an incredible nuisance. An admittedly unscientific study of my caller ID log reveals that I've been getting four junk calls for every call I actually want to receive.… Read more
There's a silver lining in the war on terror. The need for beefy, bulletproof buggies to patrol the Afghan and Iraqi outback has translated into factory jobs on the home front for at least one NATO ally.
Described as "a Land Rover on steroids," the new MWMIK (Mobility Weapon Mounted Installation Kit) 4x4 looks more like an armored forklift chassis. But with a top speed of 80 mph and wide range of armaments, it won't be pulling pallet duty anytime soon.
The U.K. Ministry of Defence has ordered 130 of the new vehicles from Plymouth-based … Read more
And now for our outrageous notion of the day: The land line is making a comeback. That's right, you heard it here first.
Long overshadowed by its glamorous mobile cousin, the homebound stalwart has been trying to get noticed however it can--sometimes by proving its toughness, other times by tarting itself up with a new design. Joining the latter category is Japan's Amadana, which GeekSugar says is weighing in with a wireless land line that's clad in leather, of all things. Now that's what we call a fashion statement.
If anyone is up to the task, … Read more

John Calvin McCoy (1811-1889) Collection (KC296)
John McCoy was born in Vincennes, Indiana, to Baptist missionaries Isaac and Christiana (Polk) McCoy. John studied at Transylvania College in Lexington, Kentucky, during 1826-1827, and his family moved to the Kansas City area in 1830. McCoy worked for several years as a surveyor throughout the Midwest. He and his first wife, Virginia Chick (died 1849), had four children. He married the widow Elizabeth Woodson Lee in 1850, and they had four more children in addition to two by her first husband. John C. McCoy was a community builder and leader, serving as an original trustee on the Kansas Town Company and many other civic organizations.
The collection consists of a scrapbook of clippings which are chiefly McCoy's own writings for the Kansas City Journal and other newspapers. Most were written for two series called "Tales of an Old Timer" and "Our history -- written by one who has helped to make it -- the recollections of forty years in Missouri." These clippings are from 1871-1888, although the events they describe date back to 1830, when McCoy came to the area. The scrapbook also contains clippings with biographical information, obituaries, and memorials published after McCoy's death in 1889. At the beginning of the scrapbook is an extensive paginal and alphabetical index compiled by the Native Sons. 1871-1950

1st Grade Research and Inquiry Resources
• Children will use the computer to do research and inquiry on folktales.
• Children will learn more about things that live and grow in Australia.
• Children will complete a worksheet by drawing a scene from a familiar folktale as it would appear set in Australia.
Suggested Activities
• Have children look at the pictures of the animals on the Web site. Ask them what else they know about these animals. Have them act out what the animals do. Ask them what they know about other animals that live in Australia or other faraway places, i.e. polar bears, octopuses, hippopotamuses, and do the same.
• Have children cut out the pictures they have drawn. Have them present these to the class, explaining what is happening and to what kinds of animals. See if any of the children use the same animals, or if any of them draw scenes that can be sequentially linked to others. Group these children together and have them create a class storybook, filling in whatever gaps in the story there may be with new drawings.

Shame to girls softball teams didn't get the same coverage as the boys. They work and play just as hard as the boys do at their game.

There were additional photos of girl's teams that for some reason did not upload initially. I've resubmitted them. There was no deliberate attempt to minimize the girl's participation.

Sainsbury's to redevelop Basingstoke distribution depot (From Basingstoke Gazette)

Sainsbury's to redevelop Basingstoke distribution depot
8:50am Sunday 30th September 2012 in News
SUPERMARKET giant Sainsbury's has announced that it will start redeveloping its distribution depot in Basingstoke from next month.
The first phase of works will involve providing a new building for chilled storage on adjacent land at Houndmills which was purchased from former fork-lift truck-maker Linde. It is anticipated that this first phase of works will be completed by August 2013 and the new chilled storage building will be operating in time for Christmas 2013.
During these works, no changes are planned to the existing depot buildings or operations. The depot, which has been operating in Basingstoke for nearly 50 years and employs 750 staff, will be redeveloped to provide a purpose-built logistics centre.
The company says its multi-million pound investment in Basingstoke should help to secure the long-term future of Sainsbury 's at Houndmills. The whole scheme will be completed in phases to ensure minimal disruption to operations.
Paul Green, Sainsbury's Logistics town planner, said "We are very excited that the first stage to redevelop our existing depot is commencing in October. "The proposals will vastly improve the efficiency of Sainsbury's distribution operations in the South East, and will importantly ensure our long-term future in Basingstoke. "

From BlenderWiki
This is how to build Blender from its SVN source using MinGW with CMake. After setup all properly, in the future, for automatic downloading current SVN and compile it - just run .bat file ! Firstly download and install:
- CMake http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
- MinGW http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started
- TortoiseSVN http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-intro-install.html (You don't need to install TortoiseSVN, instead use just Windows Command line).
Some information on this page become obsolete due to the migration of the repository to git natively. See http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Tools/Git instead. The page will be updated shortly
Set up your local repository
Create a folder to store your copy of the Blender source code. This guide will assume it is C:\BlenderSVN
. Then use either the command line or TortoiseSVN to download (checkout) the Blender source code and pre-compiled libraries.
Note you can use the command-line OR TortoiseSVN, no need to do both.
Using the Command line
Open command prompt window by hitting Windows+R, and then typing cmd, or by searching for it in the start menu.
At the command prompt type the following commands:
cd C:\BlenderSVN svn checkout https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender blender
This will checkout the source files to blender/
If you plan on building 32-bit binaries with Microsoft Visual Studio, checkout the precompiled library files by typing:
svn checkout https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/windows lib/windows
If building 32-bit binaries with MinGW, type:
svn checkout https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/mingw32 lib/mingw32
This will checkout the libraries to lib/windows/ or lib/mingw32/ respectively.
If you are going to be compiling 64-bit binaries using Microsoft Visual Studio, do this instead for the libraries:
svn checkout https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/win64 lib/win64
Otherwise if building 64-bit binaries with MinGW-w64, type:
svn checkout https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/mingw64 lib/mingw64
Again, this will check the libraries out in lib/win64/ or lib/mingw64/ respectively.
Using TortoiseSVN
Right-click the C:\BlenderSVN
folder and select SVN checkout from the menu.
A window will appear. For the URL of the repository enter:
Then verify that the checkout directory is:
Repeat the above steps for:
- Precompiled libraries (if building 32-bit with Visual Studio):
- Precompiled libraries (if building 32-bit with MinGW):
- Precompiled libraries (if building 64-bit with Visual Studio):
- Precompiled libraries (if building 64-bit with MinGW-w64):
Updating your repository
To keep your local Blender source code up to date, you will need to do a SVN update once in a while. You can either do this from a command line, or using TortoiseSVN. The most convenient way of doing this is to make a batch file containing the SVN commands.
Command line
Create this batch (.bat) file in C:\BlenderSVN\
For Microsoft Visual Studio 32-bit:
cd lib\windows svn update cd ..\..\blender svn update pause
For MinGW (32-bit):
cd lib\mingw32 svn update cd ..\..\blender svn update pause
For Microsoft Visual Studio 64-bit:
cd lib\win64 svn update cd ..\..\blender svn update pause
For MinGW-w64:
cd lib\mingw64 svn update cd ..\..\blender svn update pause
Run this newly created .bat file whenever you want to update.
Right click on the C:/BlenderSVN/blender
folder and choose SVN Update
. A TortoiseSVN window will appear listing the files that is updating.
Once the process is finished it will print Completed At Revision: xxxxx at the end of the list. Just click the OK button to dismiss the dialog.
Repeat the above steps with the C:/BlenderSVN/lib/windows
, C:/BlenderSVN/lib/win64
, C:/BlenderSVN/lib/mingw32
, and/or C:/BlenderSVN/lib/mingw64
folders to update the precompiled libraries, depending on what build environment you use.
Command line TortoiseSVN
Note: obsolete information. Latest TortoiseSVN can use the above command line if command line tools are selected during installation
As with the command line SVN, create a batch (.bat) file in C:\BlenderSVN\
TortoiseProc.exe /command:update /path:"C:\BlenderSVN\blender" /notempfile /closeonend:1 TortoiseProc.exe /command:update /path:"C:\BlenderSVN\lib\windows" /notempfile /closeonend:1 pause
For 64-bit:
TortoiseProc.exe /command:update /path:"C:\BlenderSVN\blender" /notempfile /closeonend:1 TortoiseProc.exe /command:update /path:"C:\BlenderSVN\lib\win64" /notempfile /closeonend:1 pause
Compile errors with Visual Studio 2008 PRO
When you get compile errors with functions from the c++ std:: library then please make sure that you have the "Visual studio 2008 Service pack 1" installed besides your Visual Studio 2008 Pro installation.

If you want to build with cycles and CUDA binaries you also need to install Microsoft Visual Studio (MSVC) 2008 as well and run the build process from a MSVC terminal. This is needed because the CUDA compiler needs to use the MSVC compiler.
For 64-bit builds(such as MinGW-w64) the CUDA compiler will need the 64bit toolset. It is possible to get this without MSVC professional by downloading the Windows SDK (version 7.1 has a very buggy installation but 7.0 iso should work) Additionally, there's one other thing to change for a 64-bit system. Apparently the cuda compiler has a "hard-coded" directory for 64-bit compilers. To make the fix, copy the needed file "vcvars64.bat" and rename it to "vcvarsamd64.bat" as follows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars64.bat
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\amd64\vcvarsamd64.bat
(method copied from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2970493/cuda-linking-error-visual-express-2008-nvcc-fatal-due-to-null-configuratio ) Then you should be able to generate 64bit kernels from a MSVC terminal.
nvcc fatal
When building via mingw and Windows SDK, Cuda compiler could fail with following message(even for 64bit building):
nvcc fatal : Visual Studio configuration file 'vsvars32.bat' could not be found for installation at 'C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC/bin/../../..'
to solve that problem, you need to copy 'vcvars32.bat' and rename it to 'vsvars32.bat' as follows:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat
(this workaround was taken from nvidia dev talk forum: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/462599/vsvars32-bat-not-found-error-on-compiling-samples-with-vsvars32-bat/)
Fail to start release or builds from buildbot
Usually this means the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 redistributable packages aren't installed in your system. They can be easily found at Microsoft's download center page.
If you've got PYTHONPATH environment variable pointing to an older version of Python, it'll lead to Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library failure. If you've got such kind of error message, check on your environment variables.
Missing DLL's With MinGW
If you get a popup when configuring CMake or running SCons that says
libgmp-10.dll not found
This is because the DLL MinGW installs is not in the path, resolve this by adding "C:\MinGW\bin" to you're PATH environment variable.
MinGW & Redistribution
MinGW uses a few DLLs deal with runtime libraries so if you bundle builds for others, copy libgcc*.dll and libstdc++*.dll from MinGW/bin next to your new Blender executable. If you build with OpenMP, libgomp.dll will also be needed. This will make the builds usable even for people who don't have MinGW or PATH setup correctly.
Fail to Initialize with MinGW
If you get this error, installing python may resolve this, even though Blender comes with python.
The application failed to initialize properly (.....) Click on OK to terminate the application.
Debug Builds
Without MSVC 2008 installed you may get an error like this on launch.
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc9159992). Click on OK to terminate the application.
This is because python32_d.dll needs MSVC 2008 installed to run. Both the Full version or Express will work.
So even if you build with MinGW or MSVC 2010, to run debug builds you need MSVC 2008.
MSVC Express Has No OpenMP support
If you build with MSVC Express you must disable OpenMP (which will make some parts of Blender not use multiple processors).
- on SCons disable WITH_BF_OPENMP
- on CMake disable WITH_OPENMP
SCons Environment Variable problem
If one ore more environment variable contains a value with non-ASCII characters you'll see an error message appear since r34956 (older revision will throw a UnicodeDecodeError exception). It looks like this:
D:\blenderdev\currentsvn>python scons\scons.py BF_CONFIG=graphicall_32b scons: Reading SConscript files ... ================ @@ ABORTING BUILD @@ PROBLEM DETECTED WITH ENVIRONMENT --------------------------------- A problem with one or more environment variable was found Their value contain non-ascii characters. Check the below list and override them locally to be ASCII-clean by doing 'set VARNAME=cleanvalue' on the command-line prior to starting the build process: USERNAME = Näthan TESTVAR = ElNiño
You don't have to change the main environment, it's enough to override the offending variables for the session. You could create a .bat with the overrides, so it's easy to run it whenever you open a new VS command prompt.
