When the Publix store at Ringling Boulevard and Lime Avenue closes its doors next year, it will also be closing the door on a large part of the supermarket company's history.
Publix store No. 0029 in the Ringling Shopping Center is the oldest operating store in the entire chain. But, the 31,490-square-foot store will be replaced by a new 54,000-square-foot Publix in the former Sarasota Herald-Tribune building at U.S. 41 and Wood Street.
The Ringling Publix opened to much fanfare March 29, 1955. Full-page newspaper stories heralded the store's arrival. It was the first Publix in Sarasota.
At the time, company earnings were $49 million. It operated 28 stores and employed 1,500 people. Today,
Publix Super Markets Inc. has annual sales of $24 billion from 1,005 stores, and it now employs 140,000 people.
Shirley Morey remembers those good old days. The 88-year-old has been shopping at the Ringling store since the day it opened.
"I know everybody there," Morey says. "It's like walking into your own house."
Morey lives on Gulfstream Avenue, and although the Publix store that opened two years ago at U.S. 41 and 10th Street is closer, Morey continues to go to the Ringling location nearly every day.
"They all holler, 'Hey, Shirley,' when they see me," she says.
Morey remembers one employee in particular — Melany Summerall, who has been working at the Ringling Publix for 34 years.
"I knew her as a young girl," Morey said.
Summerall was 23 years old when she began work as a part-time cashier in 1975. She became full-time three years later and has also worked in the office and as a stock clerk.
"I love it," Summerall says. "I love the (customers). I've grown up with them."
Store Manager John Kendall says some of his regular customers were upset when they heard the store will be closing for good, but he believes most of them will go to the new location, because most of the employees will be moving there.
"It'll be sad," Summerall said, "But it'll be nice to have a new start. We'll have our same customers."
As for Morey, she knows exactly what she'll do when her supermarket of the last 54 years turns out its lights for the last time.
"I'll just go to the new one," she says with a laugh.

Detroit man who chased, killed suspected burglar again gets no prison for manslaughter
Tigh Croff fatally shot Herbert Silas in December 2009
A judge declined a second time to order a prison term for a Detroit man who chased and killed a suspected burglar.
An additional year of probation was added to Tigh Croff's sentence for voluntary manslaughter.
Prosecutors who wanted a tougher punishment had persuaded the state appeals court to send the case back to Wayne County Judge Michael Hathaway for a new hearing Friday.
Croff, a victim of home break-ins, chased Herbert Silas and fatally shot him on Detroit's east side in December 2009. Croff is serving a two-year prison sentence for using a gun, a separate crime. He's supposed to be released in February.
The judge says Croff has a good record behind bars and has had many "second thoughts" about the shooting.

True Blue is the only way to guarantee tickets!
'Sold Out' is a common sight at Stamford Bridge. during the 2012/13 season just a handful of tickets went on general sale. But as a True Blue not only do you pay £5 less than non-members for match tickets, you have a priority booking period for every home and away game. We will alert you every time the priority booking period begins so you can make maximum use of that extra buying time.
With more and more members joining each year (last season was a record membership level) and only 8000 tickets available for purchase each home game, it is less and less likely you will be able to secure tickets without membership next season. Members are allocated 40% of away ticket allocation and priority access for every home game.
Loyalty will secure your place at the big games!
Our members' loyalty point system means that even much-sought-after tickets, such as domestic cup finals and European cup semi-finals and finals, will be available to those members with the most loyalty points over the course of the season.
Plus your Team Card will let you build up bonus points towards discounts on purchases in the Megastore and with selected CFC partners. You will need this membership Team Card to buy match tickets.
Competitions / Prize Draws
During the 2013/14 season there will continue to be a monthly members-only prize draw, with a host of amazing Chelsea products and experiences to be won. It makes sense to get closer to Chelsea.

The Blitz with Jeff Howe & Karen Guregian
Reliant Stadium field claims another victim. Kenbrell Thompkins talks about Sunday's awkward landing
Kenbrell Thompkins was told about the horrors and poor condition of the Reliant Stadium grass. He knew going in to Sunday's 34-31 win over the Texans that was the place Wes Welker blew out his knee making a cut during the final regular season game during the Patriots 2009 season.
That's why when he came down funny, landing awkwardly on a bad patch of grass after making a 16-yard catch late in the first quarter, he knew he might be in trouble.

Linebacker Brandon Spikes missed his first practice of the season today for non-injury-related reasons.
Wide receiver Aaron Dobson and right tackle Marcus Cannon (ankle) missed another practice after sitting out last week. Dobson has a sprained foot that will heal with rest, according to a source. There's no specific timetable for his return. Though there is hope he could return to work this week, it's no sure thing.

Out of absolutely nowhere, Bill Belichick took a hilarious shot at the Jets this morning at his initial news conference of Week 14.
Belichick, who coached the Browns from 1991-95, was asked if he still had any affinity for the organization due to his time spent there. After all, it was his first head coaching gig, though it came to a close when the organization moved to Baltimore.

Good morning, everyone. Here are some links from today's Herald.
Karen Guregian spoke to former coaches and executives to get their feel for Bill Belichick's decision to bench Stevan Ridley.
Karen's notebook leads with the defense preparing for a trio of Browns quarterbacks.
Read MoreBill Belichick wouldn't mind being able to challenge all calls
Bill Belichick would like coaches to be able to challenge all calls. Put them all in play. As it stands, some plays can be reviewed on instant replay, others can't by the current rules.
During a conference call today, the Patriots coach indicated that would be his preference. Make them all reviewable. As it is, coaches only get two challenges per game, so it's not like you'll see red challenge flags tossed every two minutes.

Wide receiver Josh Gordon was the subject of trade rumors not too long ago. We're not sure if the Patriots dropped a dime, but it's a pretty safe bet the Browns are glad they didn't swap him out, like they did running back Trent Richardson.

Morning links: Pats defense still can't stuff the run
Good morning, everyone. Lots of Patriots coverage to crank out from the paper. Here's a batch of links to get you started.
Jeff Howe's main story delved into the biggest issue facing the team at the moment, and that's the defense's inability to stop the run. You can check out that story right here.
Read MoreNFL has no plans to investigate Antonio Smith's spying allegations
This morning, Bill Belichick declined to discuss Antonio Smith's spying allegations, calling them "a league matter."
So, it was worth checking with the NFL to see what, if anything, that meant. And an NFL spokesman told the Herald the league has no plans to investigate the spying allegations unless specific evidence is presented. Of course, nothing of substance currently exists outside of Smith's postgame comments.

As Stevan Ridley stood on the sidelines, yesterday, gripping a football and wearing a long sleeve Patriots' t-shirt, you couldn't help but think that Bill Belichick was sending a clear message to his running back – if you can't hold onto the ball then you won't play.

Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort History-Celebrating over 100 years
Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort has a legendary history reaching back to Spanish- and Mexican era, early American California, and the wild days of the Old West.
In 1886 two weathered prospectors started drilling for "liquid gold." To their surprise they didn't find oil, but white-hot sulphur mineral water. Because of the water's curative effects, the proprietors established a popular spa and mineral springs resort on the present location.
In the early part of the 20th century, the Pacific Coast Railway – which stopped right across the street – brought travelers from Los Angeles and San Francisco on its stunning coastal route to this increasingly popular outpost on the Central Coast. A few years later in the 1930s, the word was out and many Hollywood celebrities started sojourning at the resort on their trips to Hearst Castle.
About this same time, new owners renamed the property as Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort. They decided it should be a therapeutic center staffed by doctors and nurses. People journeyed far-and-wide for the mineral water treatments to "cure" their aches, pains, arthritis and other sundry ailments.
Some 40 years later in the mid-1970s there was considerable shift in focus, and Sycamore Mineral Springs once again became a destination resort. It is committed to continuing its legacy as an authentic and historic California mineral springs resort. Our storied history, of course, is just one aspect of our property.
Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort rests atop hot mineral springs and spans more than 100 acres of forest, hills and meadows. Our historic resort is the ideal environment to refresh, renew and restore one's mind, body and spirit.

BP Comment Quick Links
February 12, 2013 Western FrontThree Former AstrosWhile researching a recent article about players who received zero or one career Hall of Fame vote, I stumbled across a personal favorite: Jimmy Wynn. Despite being small enough to earn the nickname "Toy Cannon," he posted ridiculous numbers for the Astros in a venue that depressed offense. Wynn retired just as I became aware of baseball, but he's one of those players who stand out when you start to study Bill James. Sure, he hit .250, but look at the walks. He broke triple digits six times and ranks 52nd in history for his career. That counts for something. Then I got to thinking about other Astros greats. Craig Biggio is on folks' minds right now because he just missed getting into Cooperstown on his first try. (This still strikes me as less about PEDs than about uncertainty over his status; compare with Roberto Alomar's Hall of Fame path.) Jeff Bagwell? Well, if you're thinking about Biggio, you're thinking about Bagwell as well. And by extension, maybe Larry Andersen. But what about José Cruz? Or César Cedeño? Those two, along with Wynn, could play a little. Jose Cruz

Exhibit 2-5: Gallup Polls on Media Bias
From 2001 through 2009, Gallup polled American adults on the question: 'Now thinking for a moment about the news media: In general, do you think the news media is too liberal, just about right, or too conservative.' Each year, the number of Americans saying the media are too liberal has outnumbered those seeing a pro-conservative bias by about a three-to-one margin. Gallup also found that while a large majority of Democrats said they had trust and confidence in the media, a similarly large percentage of Republicans expressed little or no trust in the media.
In September 2009, three times as many Americans said that the media are too liberal (45%) than said the media are too conservative (15%).
Since 2001, the percentage saying the media are too liberal has ranged from 44 percent to 48 percent; the percentage seeing the media as too conservative has never exceeded 19 percent.
In 2009, barely one-third of Republicans (36%) told Gallup they had a great deal or fair amount of trust and confidence in the media, while the majority of Democrats (58%) said they trusted the media. Only 39% of self-described independents said they trusted the press.
'About 2 in 10 Americans (18%) have no confidence in the media at all — which is also among the worst grades Gallup has recorded.'
Gallup's bottom line in 2009 was pessimistic: 'Taken together, the findings underscore the challenge facing the media as they struggle with economic difficulties and increasing competition from emerging platforms.'

UAV novice here, just got around to firing up my new 900MHz 3DRs. Coming from an IT background, I thought I'd check the "Upload Firmware" button while on the CTRL+A radio config page. Epic fail. See screenshot. As it stands, the red LED on ground radio is continuously lit and appears to be dead to the world (probably something to do with the 'erase program flash' step ;-) Any ideas on how to fix? =(
Thanks in advance!
Hi Richard,
The red LED being on solid just means it is in bootloader mode. That LED being lit just means it is ready to receive a new firmware from your PC.
Try uploading the firmware again. The current planner versions should detect that the radio is in bootloader mode and load a new firmware. Make sure you use the latest mission planner.
Cheers, Tridge
I tried multiple times & with the latest mission planner. On a whim, I changed baud to 4800 and it successfully programmed. It failed on 56k and higher. So, problem solved!
That's very strange!
Is it now working at 57600?
Cheers, Tridge
Sadly, no. The firmware upgrade on ground module was successful from 1.3->1.5, but still never able to connect in APM to plane (that was the original reason I tried f/w upgrade). I'm going to keep tinkering, but starting to think I got some bum hardware
when you have it connected to your laptop, get the settings and show them here. It may be just bad eeprom settings.
Cheers, Tridge
another thing to watch out for is the tx/rx order of the cable to the APM. Try swapping the tx and rx if the red light doesn't blink when you use it on the APM.
Also, if its an APM2, then the radio will only work when the USB cable is unplugged (there is only one UART being shared between the two ports)
Cheers, Tridge
I'm getting flashing green LEDs on both air and ground now, so obviously no connection. Attached are ground radio settings, unable to pull air module. Ground f/w is 1.5, last I saw, air was 1.3. Docs note f/w versions must match, though I'm not seeing a way to upgrade air unit. Is there a way to view/edit air settings over USB (since wireless isn't working) to verify it's a match? Pretty frustrated at this point, so open to try anything.
BTW, I do have the APM2.0
Also, APM 1.1.75 & ArduPlane 2.33. I verified the TX/RX cabling. RX goes to TX, TX connects to RX
you need to upgrade your firmware on the Air version, means you need to buy/borrow a FTDI cable. and plug the air version into your computer and click upgrade firmware.
Hi Richard,
As Gabriel noted, you need a FTDI cable in order to upgrade the firmware on your air module so the firmware versions match. Unfortunately there is no way to get the air module parameters without either a FTDI cable or a working link between the two radios.
Can you borrow a FTDI cable from someone?
Cheers, Tridge

BreakPoint Columns
Outraged for Christ: What Is Our Response to Lady Gaga and Other Heretics? PrioritiesBy: Stan Guthrie|Published: June 7, 2012 3:48 PM "In former days, the heretic was proud of not being a heretic," G.K. Chesterton wrote just over a century ago. ". . . All the tortures torn out of forgotten hells could not make him admit that he was heretical. But a few modern phrases have made him boast of it. He says, with a conscious laugh, 'I suppose I am very heretical,' and looks round for applause." Chesterton could have had Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta in mind. Known by her stage name, "Lady Gaga," Germanotta has reveled in her heretic status—and cashed in handsomely. The crucifix-wearing, sexually depraved image that Germanotta portrays on stage and in her songs (including "Judas" and "Born this Way") has been a flashpoint for some critics. "Her assault on the culture has been meticulous," writes James Parker in the Atlantic. "It's Pop music, but Gaga-dom is the thing: a persona, something like the incarnation of Pop stardom itself, that she has foisted upon the world. In wigs and avant-garde getups she appears, strange-eyed, her large, high-bridged nose giving a hieroglyphic otherness to her face. On red carpets the presence manifests, where Gaga, like a dome of many-colored glass, refracts the white radiance of Pop." Germanotta, 26, has gone from applause to applause, secure in her heresy. Until now. Her mockery of religion isn't translating so well in Indonesia, which has the most Muslims of any country. For some reason, these followers of Muhammad are not applauding. In fact, they have put out a "not welcome" sign. Islamic hardliners, in fact, are calling Germanotta a "devil-worshiper" and threatened violence at her planned concert in Jakarta. With police unable (or unwilling?) to guarantee security, Germanotta canceled the event, saying she is "devastated." A spokesman for the extremists (yes, they have spokesmen), stated, "This is a victory for Indonesian Muslims. Thanks to God for protecting us from a kind of devil." Apparently heretics are not quite so popular in other parts of the world. Of course, some of us are not surprised when Muslim fanatics act, well, fanatically. Islam, born in violence and conquest, periodically erupts against its neighbors, as the "religion of peace" seeks to impose its will. Bernard Lewis, the great scholar of Islam, tried to warn us of all this back in 1990. "Islam has brought comfort and peace of mind to countless millions of men and women," Lewis wrote in his famous article "The Roots of Muslim Rage." "It has given dignity and meaning to drab and impoverished lives. It has taught people of different races to live in brotherhood and people of different creeds to live side by side in reasonable tolerance. It inspired a great civilization in which others besides Muslims lived creative and useful lives and which, by its achievement, enriched the whole world. But Islam, like other religions, has also known periods when it inspired in some of its followers a mood of hatred and violence. It is our misfortune that part, though by no means all or even most, of the Muslim world is now going through such a period, and that much, though again not all, of that hatred is directed against us." Joe Loconte, an associate professor of history at The King's College in New York City, reminds us in his new book The Searchers that "the poison of religion" is not confined to Islam. Loconte acknowledges that the Christian church has committed its own horrors, such as the Spanish Inquisition, and he notes with approval Islam's stated belief in God's mercy. Yet he is realistic about the source of violent religious fanaticism today. "Virtually all the terrorist attacks against the West over the last decade have been committed by individuals invoking Islam and the Qur'an," Loconte writes. "They have found support for their deeds in the life and teachings of the Prophet." And it is these Muslims in Indonesia who have done what Christians in the West have forgotten how to do: to take a clear stand against blasphemy and for God's holiness—in a word, to be outraged. Now, don't get me wrong: I find the use of threat, force, and terror not only to be wrong, but to be an offense against God—whether committed by Muslims, Jews, Christians, or atheists. And let us remember that the tolerant, pluralistic society in which we happily find ourselves has deep Judeo-Christian roots. But we Christians have apparently lost the ability to be outraged by the likes of Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. We are too cool, too tolerant, too much like the world for that. While "Lady Gaga" struts her stuff, we keep our mouths shut, or even hum along quietly. We are afraid to come across as narrow-minded or bigoted. While we take understandable pride in a Lord who hung out with prostitutes, tax collectors, and other various sinners (and surely ought to reach out to lost people like Germanotta whenever possible), we forget that zeal for His Father's house consumed Christ. Where is our zeal? No, we Christians don't want to act like Muslim fanatics. By God's grace, let us pray that those ugly years of religious poison are behind us forever. But isn't there a happy medium between fanaticism and indifference? It surely isn't loving to look the other way as human beings made in God's image go to hell.

When I watch TV, the car commercials often blur together like roadside fence posts. But Subaru's new ad campaign for their Forester has made me sit up and take notice. It started with this one:
Okay, the commercial is cutesy enough. But listen to that song! Here's the full cut, from a house concert performance:
I won't lie, I bought Sean Hayes' whole album based on that one song from a Subaru commercial. And it doesn't stop there. Last night I saw this spot while watching "Law and Order: SVU."
Yup, that's "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" by the Pogues.
I've always had mixed feelings about Subarus. They have the homely/cute appeal of a pug. But if they keep this ad campaign up, I might find myself at a dealership.

I think this is what I wanted . . . isn't it?
John's House
OK, so most of you know I finally put my house on the market. At some prodding from my co-workers, family and friends, I listed it at $249,950. It is slightly more than I had intended to list it, but I'm glad I did. Everyone who has seen it, buyers that is, have loved it and had said they would write an offer. I showed it literally hours after it went on the market and the couple met me at my office to do just that. Turns out they were not pre-qualified for a loan so I sent them on their way to get qualified. In talking to them the next day, they decided to hold off buying a home for 12 - 18 months. C'est la vie.
I was getting very few hits on the MLS, and even fewer showings. One to be exact. But that couple's agent said THEY were going to write it too and how much they loved my home. There was a slight cat smell in the family room however and they decided not to write it. So I had the carpet replaced in the family room to avoid that situation in the future. It's the ONE thing I didn't do in getting my house ready to sell and I knew it should probably be done. I was getting increasingly nervous and looking at the possibility of renting it out.
So finally again last night I had the second showing and again the buyer's agent called and said she was writing it up. So I held my breath all day today . . . but no offer. Then she called again at 7PM and said that within an hour I'd have said offer. Well at 8:30 I checked and . . . no offer. So I took a bath. Now here I am at 10PM . . . offer in hand. It's a good offer. I'm going to make very few changes, shorten up timelines, etc. but I'm basically going to sign it as is. They say they can close by the end of the month, which saves me from having to make September's mortgage payments. We'll see.
I can't help but feel a bit sad that my house is no longer going to be MY house. I do feel somewhat comforted by the fact that the couple seem nice and love it nearly as much as I do. Well there is no way they can love it that much. I mean I put all the work into it and they will simply enjoy the benefits. But I know they'll love it. And I AM happy to not be renting it. I AM happy to not have to go over there at 3AM for a leaking toilet and realize they have destroyed the place. I will buy an investment property. It won't be nearly as nice, but again I won't be as emotionally attached either. I will miss my house. I will continue to enjoy the memories. I will sign the offer. Tomorrow. For now, it's still mine.
For now, enjoy this:

Kaspersky Lab CEO Eugene Kaspersky Tuesday ridiculed antivirus competitor McAfee as a less formidable and focused competitor now that it's part of chip giant Intel.
What's more, the Kaspersky CEO said that Intel has failed to deliver on its once highly touted plan to drive security breakthroughs by tightly integrating security software with Intel chips.
[Related: McAfee Execs: Acquisition by Intel Stimulates Resources and Planning ]
"They promised to kill the IT security market with a new hardware-based platform," said Kaspersky in a luncheon meeting with reporters in Boston. "I don't believe in that. It is like a Hollywood story."
"Recently they announced their new product after the acquisition working with hardware people, and they made a hardware-based solution," scoffed Kaspersky, referring to the September unveiling of the McAfee Anti-Theft software offering for Ultrabooks that ties in with Intel hardware. He labeled the $7.6 billion price tag Intel paid for McAfee a "joke." "It is [anti-theft protection] for $7 billion!"
Kaspersky said Intel CEO Paul Otellini and the Intel board had no idea what they were in for when the company announced it was acquiring McAfee on August 19, 2010. "When the Intel [CEO] said, 'Go to the shop and buy McAfee,' he didn't keep in mind the board of the company."
Kaspersky conceded that Intel could bring some new "ideas" to hardware-based security with embedded systems that would be in addition to antivirus software.
A representative from McAfee reached by CRN would not comment.
Kaspersky said McAfee is a less "focused" organization and lacks competitive "spirit" in the wake of the $7.6 billion acquisition by chip giant Intel in 2010. He maintains that McAfee has suffered from "inertia" in the wake of the Intel acquisition. "The magic fire [inside McAfee] was taken off," he said.
"IT security, especially end point security, is like a football [team]," said Kaspersky. "You have to be focused on that and only that. If your team is just a little team inside of a much larger organization, the bosses they are not interested in what is going on there [in the security business]. They have different businesses. That is why I never believed in Microsoft antivirus. And I don't believe in Intel antivirus."
The McAfee criticism comes with McAfee Tuesday appointing a new executive vice president of sales, Steve Redman, in the wake of the departure of Executive Vice President of Global Sales Joe Sexton, a five-year McAfee veteran who "chose to depart to take a leadership role in a non-competing technology company," according to McAfee.
Kaspersky did not comment on the recent news that McAfee founder John McAfee is allegedly a suspect in a murder investigation in Belize, except to stress that John McAfee has not been involved with the company for many years.
McAfee Senior Vice President of Worldwide Channel Operations Gavin Struthers told CRN in October that the joint efforts of Intel-McAfee has fueled innovation at the security division.
But Kaspersky said that the bigger dollars that Intel may be investing in McAfee is not translating into competitive advantage in the sales trenches. "It does not matter how much you invest [given the increased investment resource of Intel] there," he said. "It is like a football [team]. It does not depend on the budget. The champion is the team who plays better."

Camera Ibn Al-Haytham
The camera is one of the most powerful instruments ever invented. Still photographs and moving pictures have provided man the ability to record and display images of every kind - from the first few cells of a human embryo to galaxies, billions of light years away. But did you know that the principles, on which all cameras are based, were laid down around one thousand years ago by the Muslim scientist and philosopher, Ibn Al-Haytham?
Ibn Al-Haytham was born in Basra (in modern day Iraq) in 965 C.E. and died in Cairo in 1039 C.E. He is the most outstanding physicist of the Middle Ages and wrote over two hundred scientific works. Although he made important contributions to mathematics, astronomy, medicine and chemistry, his most outstanding achievements were in physics and optics. He was the founder of modern physics in the true sense of the word. He anticipated by six centuries the fertile ideas that were to mark the outset of this branch of science.
It was Ibn Al-Haytham who first discovered that light travels in straight lines. In refraction his outstanding contribution was the application of the rectangle of velocities at the surface of refraction, six centuries before Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727).
Al-Bayt Al-Muzlim or camera obscura, the Arabic and Latin words, respectively, for a darkroom, was the prototype of the modern photographic camera. It worked on the principle that rays of light, reflected from any illuminated object will pass through a tiny hole in a dark room and project the image of the object upside-down on a wall inside the room. It was a revolutionary invention in the field of optics. The term camera obscura was first used in Western scientific literature by Joseph Kepler (1571 - 1630).
In the third chapter of the first volume of Kitab Al-Manazir (The Book of Optics), Ibn Al-Haytham examines the moon's capacity to emit light without itself being a polished mirror. This led to the discovery that all coloured bodies emit light, and that light and colour are virtually identical. In his experiments to prove these theories he constructed the Al-Bayt Al-Muzlim which consisted of a darkened room with a small aperture in one wall, through which an inverted image was projected onto the opposite wall. The viewer was inside the room. This type of device was also used by Ibn Al-Haytham and his students for their astronomical studies on sunspots and other solar and lunar phenomena. 500 years later Geronimo Cardano (1501 -1576), who was influenced by Ibn Al-Haytham, suggested replacing the small aperture with a lens. Credit for the introduction of a lens to the camera obscura goes to Giovanni Batista della Porta (1535 - 1615). Kepler improved it with a negative lens behind the positive lens which enlarged the projected image (the principle used in the modern telephoto lens). Robert Boyle (1627 - 1691) was the first to construct a small, portable, box-type camera obscura in 1665. Artists and architects used the device to give a realistic perspective to their work. Two scientific principles had to be combined to make photography possible - one optical, the other chemical. It was 900 years after Ibn Al-Haytham's invention that photographic plates were first used to permanently capture the image produced by the camera obscura. The first permanent photograph was taken by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in France in 1827. In 1888, George Eastman developed a convenient, light sensitive film and introduced the Kodak camera which made possible modern day photography.
In1855, Roger Fenton used glass plate negatives to take pictures of the British soldiers during the Crimean War. He developed the plates in his travelling dark room - a converted wagon.
A version of the camera obscura was used in the First World War for aircraft spotting and performance measurement, and in the Second World War for checking the accuracy of radio navigation devices.
What an irony it is that a thousand years after Ibn Al-Haytham, his own birth place, Basra, was destroyed using Tomahawk missiles which are camera-guided. Satellites mapped the Iraqi terrain using cameras and then transmitted the information to missiles, fired from the USS Wisconsin, guiding them to their targets.

Merv, was a major oasis-city in Central Asia, on the historical Silk Road, located near today's Mary in Turkmenistan. Several cities have existed on this strategic site, which was significant for the interchange of trade, culture and politics. In the early Islamic period, Merv was the capital of the province of Khurasan, and in the 12th century it was the largest city in the world. The following article surveys some aspects of learning, science and history of Merv as an Islamic city between the 10th and the 13th century.

ALBANY (AP) -- Federal authorities say an upstate New York man has admitted to conspiring to violate the Clean Water Act and lying to government agents about dumping debris in wetlands near the Mohawk River.
According to prosecutors, Julius DeSimone, of Rome, pleaded guilty this week in federal court to two felony counts and could face up to five years in prison for helping dump 8,100 tons of pulverized construction and demolition debris from New York and New Jersey at a farmer's property in Frankfort.
Court documents say he and others concealed the illegal dumping by fabricating a state permit.
Prosecutors say the 1.3-acre site in Frankfort, where DeSimone managed excavation and dumping, was shut down in 2006.

Dreamcast Karaoke is this rare??
I wouldent say they are that rare, i think in japan they can still be had for a fair price. To be honest though unless your a diehard collector i wouldent really bother as they cant really be used outside of japan.
Look, Look its a real life slave oh no wait its my reflection!
but if you ever saw one at good deal don't pass up.
I got my never used mint box set for just 1000 yen off Yahoo Japan! that's like $10 for a brand new box set... probably not as cheap on the shop though...
bit of hassle to brought with me as onboard luggage on my return trip however... :p

Why is it these can't be used outside Japan, though? Is it a cable service or something?
believe it connect to Sega's server to d/l songs and you cannot connect from overseas - well apparently there's a loophole but it's not something easily done...
( ^^)
= ◎――◎
wow you have to D/L songs every time you use it? Thats pretty hardcore for a 56k connection
Yakumo has one and I know he uses occasionally.
maybe he can answer in more details... :D

Not a loophole, all it takes is registering an ISAO account. Not difficult if you go about it properly, a friend and I have had ISAo accounts for awhile now and use them for Sakura Taisen Online, PSO JP, etc - an ISAO account is basically what you need to access any of the DC's (or indeed any of SEGA's) online services in Japan, inc. Karaoke.Originally Posted by dj898

I must have explained this 100 times by now :p The dreamkara can be used anywhere in the world as long as you set up a Japanese ISAO account like id-republix mentioned. The Dreamkara connects to the Sega Karaoke Network that's been in service for over 10 years. real karaoke studios use this service as well as Sega Karaoke for PC and of course Dreamkara for Dreamcast. You connect to the server via 56kbps or Broad band which is highly recommended. The Dreamkara can store up to 5 tracks in it's memory WITH REAL Mpeg Video until you switch off the power. If you download more than 5 songs then the song in the number 1 slot automatically gets deleted to make room for the next song. You can always down load the 1st song again anyway if you want. The first song takes about 3 minutes to download via BB (full song plus words and real video) after that you can download more tracks while others are singing the ones in the Dreamkara's memory so you never really have to wait again. This works just like a Karaoke box in Japan. I have no idea how shitty the loading times are via 56kb but I can guess they'll be very slow. There are 3 options as far as I remember for the music. 1 and best but you really need BB is the full set up with music words and video. Next is music words and still pictures for the back ground, 3rd is music words and no images. The Dreamkara also has many many many :p cool features such as a duet option even though only one is singing. The Dreamkara will simulate the male or female (you choose) from your voice. Also change your voice to the opposite sex :) There are also ranking games that you can play with it to see who really is the best or in my case, worse singer.
Whoa! Thanks for the explanation.
Sounds like a pretty sweet system.
Also...Change the gender of your voice?
Sort of remembers me of "How can I sing like a girl", by TMBG...
FYI, I bought one of these in Japan (Chameleon Club) mint and as far as I could ascertain complete for 2000 yen, after it had been sitting on the shelf for 2 weeks... so I guess they are not only not rare in Japan, but also, not very much in demand.
do you uneed to be in Japan to set up this account then?
also using BB you are connecting through the internet, right?
( ^^)

I know this is a VERY old post. But I've heard something about the service has been take down? Is it still in service? Or has it been taken down for good?Originally Posted by Yakumo

Now, it's suing the Cuomo administration over what Hornblower calls a backroom deal to help Maid of the Mist maintain Niagara Falls sightseeing operations on the US side.
Hornblower is asking a Niagara County judge to throw out the contract reworked in December and put the rights up in public bidding.
Maid of the Mist was considered exempt from competitive bidding for more than a century because it was viewed as the sole provider of running tours.
In a statement, Parks Commissioner Rose Harvey says "Maid of the Mist is a New York icon with three decades left on a 40 year contract with the state. Maid of the Mist will invest $32 million to build a New York-owned and situated facility and increase payments to the state threefold--to a projected $105 million over the remaining 30 years. By having its own docks, the State of New York is protecting our tourism industry in Niagara Falls and ensuring that this unique part of our heritage continues."
Maid of the Mist says in its statement, "We followed proper procedures at all times. We are confident the courts will determine that this lawsuit is without merit.".
