A Drone You Can Call To Come To You
Project Overview
I need help to design and build a TELEDRONE- a drone with a SIM card and telephony system that will locate its own destination by the caller or receiver's phone number. It will telecast its location to both phones. It is a drone you can activate by DIALLING ITS NUMBER. It will be capable of solar charging while at rest or in flight.
Current Task in Progress
Nothing yet but I need ideas.
Project Steps
A standard drone with 6 rotors for stability and power will be equipped with telephony: a SIM card and related hardware and software so the phone can start up and control the drone from anywhere in the world.
A solar super-charger has to be built into the craft, so it charges while at rest, or while in flight.
Remote access programming by phone will have to be done, so I will need people who can write code. The craft has to have its own app, so that the drone can be controlled on a phone's proprietary user interface.
The craft will have to fly longer distances and times than the standard drone, so it will have to be light, powerful, and easy to control, feeding on power from the sun.
Where I Need the Most Help
I need help in ALL aspects of the project, from hardware to software.
Why I'm Passionate About This Project
I want a drone that can sit at home and fly to me on emergency runs.
Supporting Material & Info
If you have any, I need them please.

We invite you to "Take a Hike" and join us on the Blevins Gap Nature Preserve trail.
Blevins Gap Nature Preserve is 971.12 acres of scenic vistas, rock overhangs, trails, and pristine forest. It features a 10.5-mile trail system. This Preserve is one of three Land Trust Preserves that are each larger than Central Park and are all within Huntsville city limits.
Called Huntsville's own "Little Appalachian Trail," the Preserve contains the southernmost remnant of the Space Walk Trail created by Boy Scouts in the 1960's that ran from Monte Sano State Park to the south end of Green Mountain.
The northern portion of the Preserve holds the first piece of property donated to Alabama's first land trust (now the Land Trust of North Alabama) in 1988. These acres now feature the Stevenson and Fanning trails named for the first land donors.
A well-used trail system for passive non-motorized recreation, this Preserve is a favorite of runners, mountain bikers, and hikers. The trails are valued for their variety as well as their scenic vistas.
Directions: From Memorial Parkway South, take Airport Road exit. Go east on Airport Road which becomes Carl T. Jones Drive. Turn left onto Cecil Ashburn Drive. Continue on Cecil Ashburn Drive to the top of the mountain for the entrance to the trailhead on right.

How about a perfectly imperfect one?
This February The Chopra Well launches our new family-centered show, PERFECTLY IMPERFECT PARENTS. Consider it your go-to for thoughtful, realistic parenting advice, with a twist of humor.
Three Los Angeles mothers (a pediatrician, an entrepreneur and a comic) sit down to compare notes and share stories from their challenges, successes and failures in parenting. Host Mallika Chopra is the driving force behind the website Intent.com and has authored two books on parenting. Dani Klein Modisett is a writer, actress, and comic who created the live show "Afterbirth," which has been running in Los Angeles for eight years. And Dr. Cara Natterson M.D. is a pediatrician who has authored several medical and parenting books, the latest an update and expansion of the best-selling American Girl book entitled The Care and Keeping of You.
As these three moms strive to raise balanced, respectful and happy children, they all face similar challenges, but with a slightly different approach. Every episode tackles a unique issue of family life, with plenty of tips and humor interspersed. How do you instill children with a sense of community responsibility? Do you allow smart phones? How about sleepovers? And how do you broach the subject of sex with squeamish adolescents?
The show launches on February 7, with an episode on bullying. This issue has featured heavily in the news recently, especially with celebrity coverage from the likes of Lady Gaga and Jennifer Garner. The hosts discuss the prevalence of bullying and what parents can do to ensure their kids' positive school experience. Not to miss!
Subscribe to The Chopra Well now so you don't miss the launch of PERFECTLY IMPERFECT PARENTS!

A fundraising fashion show aimed at youngsters participating in this year's Bo'ness Fair raised a bumper £300 for fair funds.
The event, staged at the Richmond Park Hotel last Friday, was organised by Angeline Thomson of Ego Boutique in South Street.
Angeline said: "The Bo'ness Fair has always been part of my life. Since opening the shop in 2012, I have been supplying dresses, shoes and accessories for the big day.
"As funds from the council for the Fair have been reduced, we need everyone's help to ensure this a day for all the children to remember."
She added that she wanted to give something back by staging the event and by donating a £150 dress and a £50 accessories voucher for the raffle.
Other local businesses such as Daizy Rascal, Richmond Park Hotel, Rhoddy Stewart Photography, Cherie Chique Boutique and Bo'ness Blue Restaurant also donated.
Current Fair Queen Louise Wilson was on hand to accept a cheque on behalf of the Bo'ness Fair committee.
Angeline added: "We thank everyone who participated in the fundraising fashion event, especially the local models who took part."

Novice and Uneven Age XC set for customary cavalry charge
Waterford to play host to cavalry charge
The customary cavalry charge at the Irish Life Health National Novice and Juvenile Uneven Age Cross Country Championships will take place this Sunday (December 17) at the WIT Arena, Carriganore in Waterford.
Huge numbers will toe the line – in particular the novice women's and men's races. You can view all event information including entry lists HERE
Lauren Dermody (Castlecomer) looks to be one of the leading lights having finished second U23 at the Irish Life Health National Cross Country Championships in Abbotstown a few weeks ago. Avril Deegan (Ballyroan, Abbeyleix and District) should also be another in contention.
There are big team entries including Crusaders, Finn Valley, Leevale, Raheny Shamrock, Clonliffe Harriers, Kilkenny City Harriers and Sportsworld.
It sees a whole mix of age and abilities as they compete en masse in a good atmosphere. It's sport for all in its most natural form.
Alannah Cooley (Clonliffe Harriers), Orna Muray (Ferrybank) and Niamh Corry (Raheny Shamrock) are among some of the younger entrants while Rosaleen McKeown (Leevale) and Denise Toner (Clones) show no signs of ageing and will be in the top section of the field.
Another interesting entry is Kate Veale (West Waterford) who came second in the national 20km race walk in St Anne's Park last week – she has shown cross country pedigree in the past winning a national juvenile title and will be looking to help West Waterford to a good team placing.
On the men's side DSD look strong. They have a good trio of Paul O'Donnell and the MacGabhann brothers – Patrick and Jack MacGabhann.
Keith Fallon (Galway City Harriers) and Tom O'Keeffe (Kilkenny City Harriers) are listed to race. Should they compete, they will be strong contenders. O'Keeffe ran for Ireland in the U23 race at the European Cross Country Championships last week on a fast course in Slovakia.
Michael Carey will be looking to draw inspiration from his Clonmel teammates Sean Tobin and Kevin Maunsell performances at the European cross. They finished 15 and 24 in Slovakia and scored on the senior men's team that finished 5. Carey was there to greet them on their return at Dublin airport.
Another athlete to watch will be JP Carty (Sligo) who has been in good form. He sharpened up by winning the 3,000m comfortably in 8:43 at the NIA live series at the Sport Ireland National Indoor Arena.
Of course the juvenile Uneven age races will be hotly contested from U11 up to U19 where many of them have already competed in the Even age championships in Abbotstown. There should be some intriguing races and plenty of excitement as they run with blissful abandon. Pace judgement will only be an afterthought if even.

Here's How to Nail Down Your Coworking Revenue Streams
This is the third installment of our 'Can Coworking Spaces Be Profitable?' blog post series, where we discuss topics like how to find industry statistics, determine cost drivers, conduct competitor analysis and more. Scroll down for past and future installments -- we have seven in total!
Knowing The Possible Revenue Streams
Since startups, freelancers, digital nomads, and part-time workers are interested in meeting various needs in a coworking space, there are a plenty of diverse ways from which you can make money. Don't limit your customers to the primary customer groups: you can design your coworking monetization plan to include local service providers, event planners, schools and marketing agencies, fitness trainers, basically any company or individual that needs a place to host an event or find a spot to meet with customers. Depending on the location and the space layout, you can turn it into a business center, a place for sponsored events, and even let food providers from your area use the space for promotional purposes.
Membership Fees
Membership fees will be your basic source of income. Taking in mind what co-workers would need to get from a coworking space, you can offer a variety of membership or subscription plans to meet their needs. The majority shared spaces have time-based membership plans that include hourly, daily, monthly and annual rentals to all services provided in the space. The longer the user stays, the lower the fee gets. You can choose compelling labels for your plans, such as "light", "flexible" or "premium" members to give a hint of what is covered under a fee. Drop-ins, those that haven't booked in advance and those that aren't interested in a longer plan typically don't get to use the benefits of a loyalty discount.
Don't forget about group or shared memberships. Group memberships include substantial discounts for more users that book together. A shared membership can include a number of services that can be used by more than one user, typically one at a time. A great incentive for bringing more people on board is a credit-based system. Loyal customers can collect credits with each service they use, getting bonuses after they accumulate a certain number of credits. Referrals and invites of new members can also serve a similar purpose.
Daily, weekly, and other time-limited passes don't need to include all that you offer. For instance, a drop-in would hardly likely need a locker and a pre-payment to your weekly brunch menu. On the other hand, a startup on an annual plan would probably take most of your space and ask for maximum benefits.
If your coworking space is open 24/7, attract customers in downtime periods by offering special discounts - for instance, 25 percent off on night time passes for the period between 8pm and 8am. But keep in mind that working at night may cost more on your side, so always calculate those extras in the discounts.
Another way to classify your membership fees is resource-based. For example, you can offer plans such as:
- Shared-desk plan
- Dedicated desk plan
- Small private office
- Mid-sized private office
- Large private office
In this way, visitors can choose the space type that fits best. Some of the above options are more social while others are more work-focused and relevant for individuals. It's worth keeping in mind both sides of the story because coworking spaces usually aim for both.
Space Leasing
You can set the social space in a way to generate additional sources of revenue from leased events or leased equipment. Find a local coffee dealer that is looking for passionate coffee consumers and let him provide coffee services for minimal fees. A popcorn or an ice-cream machine is not a huge investment and can do wonders for hunger pangs. You can cover such services with the membership plans for longer periods, charging only to drop-ins, while providing complementary services for the regulars. Connect with local food or beverage companies and let them host promotional events in the social space. Get in touch with the shops in the area and let them provide discounts for your customers. In turn, let them use the space for advertising. The type of the events you can host always depend on the location and the design of the workspace. A large terrace can be great for informal summer events while a nice bar is convenient for afterwork Fridays.
Coworking resources can also include lockers, printers, fax machines and telephone lines, audio and video equipment, call cabins, and anything else you can think of. With so many options, it can be complicated for users to see what is the most affordable alternative. Therefore, include a "check-the-box" online calculator to help them assess the overall costs.
Conference rooms can be rented not only to the coworkers, but also to the outside members. Pay attention to security, especially if your conference rooms have extra doors for access from the outside. The most lucrative plan for conference rooms is per-hour, but you should also think of daily and weekly passes. Many corporate workshops or training seminars are held over the weekend so it's good to have weekend plans. As a general rule, you need to provide conference equipment to users and charge extra for additional laptops, chairs, and video projectors. Think of including catering services from a local catering company and make money from the referral fees.
Too much desk-seating is not very spine-friendly. In the evenings or in the mornings when the shared workspace is less busy, you can offer available rooms for fitness purposes. Of course, it may not be so simple to set up a full gym, but you can think of adding some mobile equipment, such as the bare necessities for spin, dance, yoga, pilates and similar activities where you don't need to do too much moving back and forth or where users bring their own equipment.
Determining Revenue Sources
Start thinking of the revenue-generating resources by planning the space availability, layout, and location.
The first thing you need to check is any legal requirements for the sub-services that you provide. Also, check your own lease for additional costs or limitations to what you can do in the rented space. Some businesses need to get special permits, so it's worth investigating this before everything else.
Second, see how much flexibility you have in terms of redesigning and refurbishing the place. Wide open spaces and different room sizes are more valuable as they can be easily adjusted to varied requirements. The furniture doesn't need to be too robust or space-confining. The design process is very important to maximize the space you own. Hence, unless a professional designers help is too expensive, you should really consider hiring a pro.
Consider the pros and the cons of leased and purchased equipment. If you don't have the resources to buy everything, go for rentals, which are an affordable short-term investment.
Lastly, conduct a cost-benefit analysis of all potential investment ideas. Include risks and opportunities. Coworking space essentials, such as security, health and safety, desks and chairs, coworking software and staff will need to take priority. Also, think of what ideas from above you can implement for free. Weigh in the costs and the benefits and if the latter outweigh the benefits, go for the concrete investment.

This webinar, advertised through NN/LM, is a free look at Health Insurance Literacy. We haven't talked about health insurance, but I imagine it is something that we should be comfortable with. I don't know how often medical librarians are asked to help explain health insurance or to contribute to health insurance literacy, but why wouldn't we be asked? It's certainly one of the more confusing and frustrating aspects of the medical field.
The seminar is tomorrow at 4pm eastern. I won't be able to make it, but would love to hear about it if anyone else is able to attend.

Take precautions to combat disease, docs urge people
Doctors in the city have cautioned people and asked them to take precaution to combat the spell of erratic weather.
On January 25, the city experienced coldest day with mercury touching 11.3 degrees Celsius. While on January 31, it touched 20.5 degrees Celsius.
Officials of the Alipore Meteorological Office said a high temperature zone has come up in central India and coastal Odisha affecting the winter. The temperature will again dip but it will not be much colder. MeT officials said the temperature was 20.5 degrees Celsius on Monday.
AG Ghosal, director of National Allergy Asthma Bronchitis Institute (NAABI), said children and aged people were vulnerable to the temperature fluctuation. Those suffering from respiratory distress are even more vulnerable. Special care is required for children particularly in the early morning and night. The doctors had advised not to switch on fans and the aged people should wear light woolens in the morning.
Doctors said viral fever was mostly reported whenever the temperature fluctuates.
The fever is often accompanied by stomach upset and throat soars. The doctors have advised not to take antibiotics and consult a medical practitioner before taking any medicine.
Dr Apurba Ghosh, director of Institute of Child Health, said the fluctuation of temperature often affect the newborns. They should not be exposed to fans and doctors should be consulted if they have temperature or suffer from stomach ache.
The doctors urged people to follow their advice which may help them to fight ailments.

All of the different pieces of our logistics work have now come together in this one moment that I have been eagerly waiting for. We learned quite a lot while figuring out shipping logistics and have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure we had everything ready to move forward, stronger than ever. That time is now. Pickup is starting this week for a (for us) huge collection of deliveries. If you are waiting for any wine from any vintage, Updates will trigger as each piece is shipped from our winery. We greatly appreciate your patience. We thank you for understanding that this means that we will be exceptionally busy during this period and are focusing on much anticipated deliveries and changes to service protocols.
It took a great amount of work to get to this point with small amount of lumps taken in the process but the tide has officially shifted and I couldn't be more proud!
Thank you again to all of those that have supported us!
All the best!

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Bond prices were pummeled Monday as concerns regarding the dollar's persistent weakness against the yen and fears that the strong U.S. economy will lead to more Fed rate hikes spooked the market.
The Bank of Japan intervened repeatedly in currency markets Monday to curb the yen's ascent. Though the central bank's purchases managed to take dollar/yen higher, marketeers don't expect the gains to last for long.
With heavy flows pouring into Japanese equities, in fact, yen strength appears to be inevitable.
In addition, the prospect of strong retail sales and caution ahead of Friday's employment report was a major factor behind the bond market's distress. Treasurys have been unable to post gains since the Fed raised rates by 25 basis points on Nov. 16.
"There is a solid fundamentalbasis for the [bond market's] weakness. At the crux of it all are the reports of a robust beginning to the holiday shopping season, both online and off. TeleCheck services, for example, reported that sales on 'Black Friday' rose by 6.4 percent over the same day last year," said Tony Crescenzi, chief bond market strategist at Miller Tabak & Co.
"The risk to the bond market of a strong holiday season is substantial. If the economy carries momentum into 2000, this will likely translate into more Fed rate increases," Crescenzi said.
The 30-year bond fell 28/32 to yield TYX, +1.23% 6.306 percent. The bellwether reached its highest yield since Oct. 27 in intra-day dealings. The 10-year lost 19/32 to yield TNX, +1.28% 6.206 percent. The 5-year fell 11/32 to yield 6.140 percent. The 2-year inched down 1/8 to yield 6.06 percent. The discount rate on the 52-week bill was up 2 basis points at 5.38 percent. In the futures pit, the December Treasury bond contract was off 1 3/32 at 111-16.
Separately, the spread between the yield on the 30-year bond and 2-year note fell substantially to 24.6 basis points from 33.3 basis points at the previous close as short issues lagged on the heels of increased Fed tightening concerns. In fact, fed funds futures are currently factoring in a roughly 60-percent chance of a tightening at the central bank's Feb. 1-2 interest-rate meeting.
Meanwhile, the difference between the yield on a 10-year note and 30-year bond fell to 10.0 basis points from 11.6 basis points at the previous close as the 10-year lagged the long bond.
In economic news, October existing home sales fell by a larger-than-expected 6.6 percent to a 4.79 million annual rate. See full story.
Looking ahead, Tuesday will see the release of the November consumer confidence index and the November Chicago Purchasing Managers index. See and .
In the commodity arena, January crude fell 91 cents to $25.96 while the Bridge/CRB index rose 0.35 to 203.14. See latest commodity prices. Separately, U.S. shares plowed ahead. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.32% fell 40.99 points while the tech-packed Nasdaq compq lost 0.8 percent. See Market Snapshot and international indices. In the currency market, dollar/yen was recently changing hands at 102.26, up 0.8 percent from the previous close. The euro was close to parity, falling to 1.0040 in intra-day dealings-- a new lifetime low. See latest currency rates.

7 Habits of Effective Blogger
More than 20 million copies has been sold and still counting. These principles of Steven R Covey are universal and this is how it can be applied not just to become an effective people but to be an effective blogger.
It works and it works brilliantly.
It is matter of accepting it as it is and adapting it to the mode of blogging.
Habits are among the most fascinating aspect of our life and living. Old habits die-hard and new habits needs time to take birth.
Good habits hard to come and bad habits hard to go.
Yes, whether good or bad, old or new, we just cannot escape the velocity of values.
- Be Proactive
When we are reactive we are controlled by the circumstance and when we are proactive we choose from a perspective of freedom.
"Blogging calls for freedom of expression."
We need to define the course and not get confined to a given course. Being insightful is a product of being proactive and getting influenced is a by-product of being reactive. Conscience and contemplation gives us the ability to keep creating newer set of scripts and making our readers keep guessing what's next. A proactive blogger scripts the surprise elements and makes the release of post exciting.
- Begin With The End In Mind
This is a difficult part to the journey of blogging. It is a treasure hunt. We have some clues and we keep following those clips to reach the treasure. It normally starts with a hobby.
"It is an extension of expression."
"It is means to connect."
We enjoy these baby steps and we slowly but certainly start discovering our real treasure. The end gets discovered and for that to happen we just have to begin. Having the end in mind gives us the insight to take the right direction. We may know the role of a blogger and doing what a blogger should be doing but if we are on the wrong ladder we will not reach our destination.
- Put First Things First
First thing in blogging is to just break free your thoughts. Our thoughts have been shackled for long. Just allow our thoughts to come out the way it wants to come out, "raw and real".
"The voice of our thoughts matters."
It has its unique character and the character of the voice needs to be captured and communicated. It is about personal management. Time management is an essential element of personal management. The essence of time management lies around organizing and executing the priorities.
- Think Win/Win
It is just not about expression but it equally about the engagement with readers. Writing for self is not the agenda, what we write should be read by fellow bloggers. If the writing is out of trend and out of context, if the writing is not making meaning and if the writing is not addressing the problem, and if the writing is not servicing the purpose, then it is a win-lose situation and the loser is the blogger and not the reader.
The blogger to win have to make the reader a winner too in the game of expression and connection.
- Seek First To Understand, Then To be Understood
Pointing a finger at others makes you point the rest towards self. So, before questioning others we should have an answer to ourselves. The answer to the question of why fellow bloggers should come and appreciate what we do, lies in the "art of understanding". The precursor to appreciation is in the level of depth of understanding.
Yes, before we can understand fellow bloggers we should spend quality time in understanding self and the inner voice.
- Synergize
Bloggers needs creativity and they need coöperation, synergies is about the convergence of creativity through coöperation. Two minds are better than one and it best applies to the blogosphere, the mind of a reader and the mind of a writer.
The expression and the engagement.
The experience and the expertise.
The interaction and the influence.
It is just not about the convergence but the divergence of thoughts brings synergize of thoughts of a blogger. More than the similarity it is the differences that bring exponential growth blogging.
- Sharpen The Saw
Blogging is not a static phenomenon. It is a dynamic process, and it needs constant churning. The need for self churning to create newer perspectives, of how we look at things and how to we present differently to others.
"It is about revitalization."
"It is about innovation."
It is the process of reincarnation from a writer to a blogger. The process of renewing and the process of re-energizing. The process of self discovery when discovery the world outside through the eyes of fellow bloggers.

Hi - trying to use this theme - REALLY want to make it work. But keep getting the same error after uploading files. The WP forums were no help - I went through them thoroughly...
The error after uploading is:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_register_sidebar_widget() in /homepages/34/d197168465/htdocs/toberight.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/functions/bfa_subscribe.php on line 154
I deleted and re-uploaded a couple times thinking that there were ftp errors.
I also noticed that the file wp_register_sidebar_widget does not appear in the downloaded theme (from WP) - could this be an issue?
Any help would sure be appreciated...

Posted on August 27, 2012
Rita walked up and down the length of the room with different thoughts of how the months had gone by fast. She wondered if he had chosen the girl who had stood him up, the girl who ran off with his best friend at a time he had needed them both the most. He had come crying to her house that hot night. She heard footsteps but had dismissed it, thinking it was her brother coming home drunk as usual but then the stones hit her window, once, then twice, she had risen up from her bed and walked towards the window. Standing to the side of the window, she tried to peep outside to see who it was and could tell from the outline of the physique that it was Michael. She whispered to him to come through the door. He told her he was too drunk to make it there and reluctantly, she pulled up her shutters and he climbed into her room though the window. He sat down on the floor and told her the sad story of how he had found his girlfriend Charlotte kissing his best friend Harold and he had confronted them both right at the scene of the emotional crime. In between hiccups, sad laughter and tears, he told Rita about how his girlfriend of ten years had renounced her love for him and declared a stronger and fresh love for Harold. Rita was sad to see Michael so sad, she cradled him in her arms and he had sobbed like a baby. He couldn't drive home in his state so she had asked him to climb into her bed and she pet him to sleep.
Rita was happy that he had come to her, happy that his relationship with Charlotte was broken and as she realised her happiness a cloud of sadness fell over her. The fact that she could be sad about someone else's sadness meant she was bad and evil she thought. She wondered if it would be considered a bad and evil act or emotion if she meant well for Michael but was only happy that she stood a chance with being his girl with Charlotte out of the picture. Charlotte was more beautiful than her no doubt, she had won the beauty pageant since high school and had blossomed into a beautiful woman while Rita was tall, slender and plain-looking with strong features. Rita felt she stood no chance. Micheal and her had been best friends since high school but not once did he realise that she had pushed all the other boys away from her because she wanted Michael to have her full attention. He never asked her why she was anti social to other boys and even teased her that she was a lesbian. Truth was that she had always had a crush on him and the many years did nothing to fade the crush.
Now its twelve years since high school, she had gone out of her town and made a success out of being a model. She was back into town after taking a break from her modelling career and contemplating a career change. Michael had come back right after college to take over his family business, he had actually made a success of it, owning the only brewery in the town where the men worked all day, ate all evening and drank all night. He also had the highest number of grocery stores among other businesses, needless to say, he was one of the towns eligible bachelors. Recently with him being single, she had all time to spend with him, he would pick her up in the mornings, drop her at the local town library so she could have some peace and quiet to write her stories. He would always look for how they would pass time every evening. He kept on telling her about how her being around was perfect for him. He was getting over Charlotte and getting used to Rita all over again and she was happy, very happy; so also were her fictional characters, at least until this evening.
She had dressed up in her a lavender dress with frills all around it, Michael had promised her a trip to a bar that he opened near the mill. Her friend Franca had called to say that she would stop by on her way to the grocery store. Rita had been excited as Franca was so much fun. She welcomed her into her room while she dressed up and then as Franca was about leaving, with her right hand on her right hip, she had asked,
"Did you hear the news going round town?" Rita looked at her questionably, "No" She answered. Franca looked round the room like she wasnt aware it was just the two of them in there. And then in a lower tone of voice had said, "Charlotte is back in town and she went to see Father Lucas and he went with her to Michael's father's house", she paused as if waiting for a reaction from Rita, seeing none she continued,"Rumour has it that she and Harold had split and he left her at the side of the road and she was badly shaken and is back begging Michael to take her back"
Rita's heart had skipped forty beats and her knees were failing her but she didn't want Franca to see her hurt. Even though Franca was her friend, she had known that this news would hurt her yet she told her in the coldest way possible. Definitely the whole town knew that she and Michael had been hanging around together and most of the people in the town knew that she and Michael had been friends from high school. It was a small town and word went round pretty fast. Rita was praying that Franca was wrong and that the rumour was false.
The time was 6:45pm, Michael had told her he would be at hers at 5:45pm. He was an hour late, which was unusual of him. She walked up and down and prayed that he would show up. Tired of sitting down and waiting, she pulled up her shutters, then the window and looked out, through the same window that he had climbed in through months ago and just as she was tired of waiting, she saw truck lights show from afar and she prayed silently that it would be Michael in his truck, coming as he had promised.

We have yet to see Kim Zolciak-Biermann's return to RHOA, but we already know there is no love lost between Kim and Kenya Moore.
In a new interview, Kim is opening up about what started her public feud with Kenya.
"I don't even know Kenya, and I don't want to f*cking know her," Kim said. "Kenya's a dark cloud. She's not a good person. I've never in my life looked at somebody in the eyes and saw an empty soul. That's not being vindictive or because I'm mad, I've never seen such an empty soul in somebody in my life. I don't even want to know her."
Kim tells US Weekly that her feud with Kenya began last season when Moore went down in the basement and "talked sh*t" during a party at Sheree Whitfield's house. When Zolciak approached her to say it was disrespectful to sneak into the basement, Moore's reaction set her off.
"She started attacking my husband, my children, my parenting, my faith, my body, everything that she could attack. I was like, 'Really?' I just said you didn't need to be downstairs,'" Kim continued. "She just laid into all of it. She had obviously been studying me prior. F*cking lunatic."
Kim added, "She doesn't know me. She didn't know me pregnant. I can count on two hands how many times I've been around this lady, and it's never once been without a camera. She has no idea who I am. She's a fan."
Are you excited for Kim's return to RHOA?

With Gran Turismo still lacking a confirmed release date, pure racing games on PS3 are somewhat of a rarity. While Motorstorm has set the standard for offroad racing, Dirt and Grid have also carved out their own portion of the racing field, but there's been a noticeable absence of truly great racing games with that familiar Gran Turismo formula, featuring great racing, extensive car tuning and a wide variety of events to tackle. With Shift, the Need for Speed series leaves behind the street scene, with its trophy women and daft bling, favouring instead the purity of wheel-to-wheel competition on famous race circuits like Silverstone, Laguna Seca and Nordschleife. The resulting game isn't something that will make Gran Turismo 5 redundant, but it certainly provides GT gamers something interesting to test their racing skills with during the long wait for Polyphony Digital's next masterpiece.
Much like Gran Turismo, Shift sees players start off with limited funds with which to buy their first car. From their, entry into the lower tiers of racing is permitted, and the idea is that gamers will build up funds with successful competition wins, challenge rivals for recognition on the circuit, buy faster cars and work their way up to the Need for Speed World Championships. Simple? Yes, in fact, much more so than a GT game. It's not that the racing is especially easy (the difficulty setting is adjustable, and it's no easier or harder than a GT game), it's just that you'll very quickly find yourself with a huge amount of funding and a wide range of massively powerful cars to choose from. Where as you'd spend tens of races in an underpowered banger in GT before even being able to afford significant upgrades, Need for Speed will have you sat in the cockpit of a fully-tuned Evo in less than a dozen two-lap races. It's clear that the game wants you to get on with the good stuff, but many will dislike the rapidity of initial progression, since there's no real chance to appreciate the gradual increase in speed. Before you know it, you're bombing around circuits in a Zonda, wondering where all the opposition went.
Despite (or perhaps because of) the rapid pace early on, the game is very rewarding to play, and the handling of the cars is solid and enjoyable. There are varying degrees of steering and braking assistance for beginners, and traction control for anybody not quite ready to take their racing to the top level. To help guide players in the right direction, a racing line (on by default, but configurable) is displayed on the road, colour coded to indicate areas of braking, acceleration or lifting. To encourage accurate driving, each major corner on a track is given a marker, which will be ticked when the player masters that particular corner. It's one of the more rewarding of a whole series of badges that players are tasked with collecting. Fuelling gamers' natural instinct to gather stuff, Need for Speed offers stars for winning races, and badges for completing challenges such as overtake targets, cornering performance and manufacturer loyalty (gained by driving set mileage totals in cars from particular continents). The end result, linked in with trophy collection, is an enjoyable set of targets to attain that will keep players occupied for easily twenty hours or more. If you go the full distance and try to star every event in every tier, and any special invitiational events along the way, the game will last longer still.
The cars are nicely detailed and, as is traditional for any Need for Speed game, very shiny. Rims are of great importance here, and there are hundreds to choose from (possibly millions, but many won't go beyond the first menu screen), while other visual aspects of the car can also be altered, creating custom colours and logo layouts, and improving bodywork via tuning. The main focus will be on the car tuning though, with upgrades such as turbos, improved brakes, weight reduction and more all ready to be purchased, and tuning for most components an option (with gear ratios being of most importance). Sadly, and somewhat confusingly, the upgrades aren't available for cars in the highest tiers. Perhaps it makes sense that the real-life counterparts aren't actually upgradeable, but in the game, it's disappointing to reach the top tiers with your finely-tuned, perfectly-upgraded machine only to find that the next step is a ready meal with no upgrade potential. True, you can still tune the vehicles, but there's no scope for any upgrades to sculpt the vehicle as you see fit.
Tracks aren't as spectacular to behold as the Gran Turismo courses being previewed, but Need for Speed is the game that's here now, and it does a reasonable job to put on a good display. The marathon Nordshleife is lovingly recreated, and tracks such as London River, Ambush Canyon and Brands Hatch all look very nice, just not quite spectacular. Some of the lighting is pretty decent, with dazzling sunspot effects to irritate and impress gamers in equal measure. The crowds aren't two-dimensional cardboard cutouts either, though they do seem a little wonky. Occasionally you'll catch a replay with a spectator in full view that clearly has no idea where the race track is, let alone the vehicles on it. Still, it's better than it could be, and rounds off a racer that's certainly above average, if not quite the best the field has to offer.
If Need for Speed offered more of everything: more polish, more cars, more upgrades, more tracks, more pixels and more attention to everything, then it'd mean people wouldn't have anything to look forward to in GT5's eventual release. What the game does offer is an excellent all-round racing experience that will keep racing fans happy for a good twenty hours. There will be those that aren't too keen on the arcade-simulator crossbreed handling, where Shift blurs the lines slightly between purist racing and arcade thrills, but for those that immerse themselves in the racing, there's plenty of fun events to take part in and some seriously snazzy cars (including the Bugatti Veyron) to race around in. If you find it cheap, it shouldn't be a regrettable purchase, but it won't be worth paying full price anywhere near the release of Gran Turismo 5.

The Codex is a magical item divided into four parts, and it opens a portal to the realm of Realix.
Opening the realm of Realix
To open the portal of Realix, the four pieces of the Codex must be brought together and a spell needs to be used. The balance between Light and Darkness must be respected to open the portal (since Darkar needed Bloom) , which is why Darkar had Bloom kidnapped and turned her into Dark Bloom.
Codex pieces
One Codex is hidden at Alfea-- protected by the pixie ,Concorda. Another is hidden at Cloud Tower-- Protected by the pixie,? Discorda. The third is at Red Fountain? --? Protected by the pixie,? Athena. The final Codex piece is hidden in Pixie Village? -- protected? by the pixie,? Ninfea.
Season 2
Lord Darkar originally thought that the Codex was in the Pixie Village, but after gathering information through Karborg, his pet,? he found out that it consisted of four pieces: one in each of the three schools of Magix and a fourth piece in the Pixie Village. Each of these pieces were protected by a Guardian Pixie.
Throughout Season 2, Lord Darkar obtained the pieces of the Codex of Red Fountain, Cloud Tower and of the Pixie Village with the help of the Trix, while he got the Alfea Codex through Bloom, whom the clone of Avalon that Darkar had sent to Alfea had temporarily infecting her with a Dark Virus, turning her into Dark Bloom for the first time.
Faragonda had a copy of each Codex piece made after Lord Darkar's return in Season 2 as a precaution in case he managed to get hold of the pieces found in the three schools and at the Pixie Village, which indeed happened. When Lord Darkar kidnapped Bloom and turned her into Dark Bloom, he then opened the portal of Realix with her help and after entering that Realm sealed the Portal. Later, the Winx arrived to Darkar's Fortress in trying to save Bloom but were unable to enter Realix. The Guardian Pixies then used their Codex copies to open another Portal, but they had to solve the Puzzle of the Codex, which was a riddle they had to solve so as to open the Portal. The Puzzle was in the form of many color strips which had to be arranged in a specific pattern, which Stella did by following her fashion instinct and hence opening the Portal.

Basically the more we hear about user centred design the more I am drawn to Donald Schon's book – Educating the Reflective Practitioner. In the book he outlines several studies where professionals exhibit highly skilled behaviour through an iterative application of their skill. By revisiting design problems and thinking in an almost sub-conscious state they come up with solutions.
Thinking on your feet has always been a mark of a good designer, not only in designing but when communicating that design to a client or in a pitch. But the revisiting of a problem in an iterative way not only is seen in the UCD cycle but also in Agile to some extent. I have posted a review in the essay section, the summary of which can be seen on Amazon here.

National Environmental Assessment Reporting System (NEARS)
Use CDC's NEARS surveillance system to capture environmental assessment data from foodborne illness outbreak investigations to improve your food safety programs.
- New to the system? Explore the steps needed to gain access.
- Already an approved NEARS user? Log on.
Participating in NEARS Helps Your Program
Participating in NEARS can help prevent foodborne illness outbreaks associated with restaurants, banquet facilities, schools, and other institutions. Your program can access and use your NEARS data at any time to
- Identify environmental causes of outbreaks in your jurisdiction.
- Take follow-up action to reduce or prevent future foodborne illness outbreaks.
- Evaluate your food safety program and make improvements based on established guidelines.
- Develop or modify program policies or regulations.
- Focus limited program resources on actions with the highest impact.
- Help your program meet the Food and Drug Administration's Retail Food Program Standards (Standard 5 [PDF – 114 KB]).
Participating in NEARS Helps the National Food Safety System
CDC and national food safety partners recommend that all food safety programs use NEARS to improve food safety in the United States. Environmental assessments help identify the underlying environmental causes of foodborne illness outbreaks. By participating in NEARS, your program is providing critical data from these assessments to prevent and reduce future outbreaks. CDC and its national food safety partners will use NEARS to
- Analyze standardized data to understand how and why outbreaks occur.
- Share findings or recommend actions to better respond to outbreaks and prevent future ones.
Regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration use information from NEARS to develop intervention strategies and recommended regulations such as the Food Code. Food safety programs use this information during outbreak investigations and on a daily basis for issuing permits and inspecting restaurants and other facilities.
"We are pleased to be part of this venture. Not only does it put us on the map, but it increases our conformance with FDA's Retail Program Standard 5 — Foodborne Illness and Food Defense Preparedness and Response."
–Office of Food Protection, Delaware Division of Public Health
"…my first data entry was a pleasantly smooth process. There were no major issues, the online layout is logical, all needed resources are readily available, and the NEARS staff were accessible to answer each of my questions quickly. Our Food Safety Program is excited for the clear and consistently organized format we can use to download our data at the end of the year. NEARS appears to be just the tool we needed."
–Food Safety Program, Washington State Department of Health

Well, my John Deere riding mower (assembled in Greeneville, Tennessee) had a flat tire, so I went to get some of that green goo to stick in there to seal it up.
(No use repairing it properly just to flatten it again next time I encounter a prickly-pear)
So I went and got the goo (actually it's called Slime), and was pleasantly surprised to find that it's Made In USA!
Not that I'm particularly proud that my country is capable of making green goo, but it was nice to see, nevertheless.
And so I go to squirt this Slime into my tire and my tires also say Made In USA!
I remembered that the boat trailer tires are Carlisle brand also and quickly went out to check them for the "Patriotic Symbol of Pride", but alas, the message was "Made in China".
Now, the tractor tires are newer than the boat trailer tires, so all is not lost.
At least some of thier tires are still made here.

Good find Rusty, as always, be sure to check the label or location of manufacture. Now you have me wanting to go check my lawn mower and other things. I know the tires on my bobcat trailer are made in the USA, as well as the Dexter axles and Dexstar rims... Made in the USA.
Always a nice thing to see when you stumble upon it.

Doing one thing for diversity and inclusion in Hamilton
The steps of city hall were full of dancers, musicians and speakers Wednesday as part of World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development — a campaign the United Nations created to "deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to learn to live together better."
The event — which pushes participants to "do one thing for diversity" — was hosted by the Hamilton Centre for Civic Inclusion (HCCI), and featured performances by musicians like Michael St. George and Katie Bulley, as well as speakers like Mayor Bob Bratina and HCCI Executive Director Evelyn Myrie.
Freelance union organizer Datejie Green gave an impassioned speech to the crowd of about 75 people, advocating for the extension of multiculturalism in society. "It's about saying 'I'm not going to judge you.' What I recognize is your humanity," she said. "Solidarity is the building block of inclusion."
The campaign was launched back in 2011. According to the U.N. website, the campaign aims:
- To raise awareness worldwide about the importance of intercultural dialogue, diversity and inclusion.
- To build a world community of individuals committed to support diversity with real and every day-life gestures.
- To combat polarization and stereotypes to improve understanding and cooperation among people from different cultures.

"Tragically, on Nov. 28, 2013, ISON's tenacious ambition outweighed its ability, and our shining green candle in the solar wind began to burn out."
So goes an obituary written by Karl Battam, an astrophysicist who had been chronicling ISON's journey toward the sun for NASA. (Source: Comet ISON is see-through, and that's not good)
In short, the comet is dead! It didn't survive its brush with the sun, according to the article HERE. We can also watch a video of it skimming past the sun in this same site.
My hopes of seeing this "Comet of the Century" have melted away. Not any more chance to see the dazzling light show when its orbital path would be closest to earth later this month. And to think that I believed I spotted it this morning over the eastern horizon while riding in the bus, and I was so excited.! Aww... not even close! Somebody also posted in our local news website a picture of the comet that he had taken yesterday. And then, a scientist commented that it was neither a comet nor a debris. Poor guy.
Now, I'm reechoing Battam's concluding words: "Survived by approximately several trillion siblings, Comet ISON leaves behind an unprecedented legacy for astronomers, and the eternal gratitude of an enthralled global audience."
So, bye-bye, comet ISON. It's been fascinating and sensational to have you in our solar system even for a short while.

"In this line of reading he found confirmation of his own more reserved thoughts—confirmation which he had vainly sought in social converse, so that as touching most fundamental topics, there had got to be established in him some positive convictions which he forefelt would abide in him essentially unmodified so long as his intelligent part remained unimpaired."
"While other members of that aristocracy to which by birth he belonged were incensed at the innovators mainly because their theories were inimical to the privileged classes, not alone Captain Vere disinterestedly opposed them because they seemed to him incapable of embodiment in lasting institutions, but at war with the peace of the world and the true welfare of mankind."
"Vere is the accuser, the witness, and the judge; he is even the defense counsel at moments. No witnesses are heard; no attempt is even made to determine the truth of Claggart's accusation. Of course, the fact that the accusation is false does not alter the fact that Billy killed Claggart, but it does determine a great deal about motive and justification."
"Quite apart from any conceivable motive actuating the master-at-arms, and irrespective of the provocation to the blow, a martial court must needs in the present case confine its attention to the blow's consequence, which consequence justly is to be deemed not otherwise than as the striker's deed." (the italics are Martin's, to emphasise Vere's exploitation of the legalese)
"It is not possible to imagine that Melville would cast as hero a man who could so abuse the language."

Rafael Nadal talks about his first round win over Philipp Kohlschreiber in Rome.

Rafael Nadal talks about his first round win over Philipp Kohlschreiber in Rome.
Video: ATP World Tour
Rafa is already one set down to Kyrgios on his beloved clay surface!!!
The King of Clay is being dethroned?????
Did anyone see the match between djoko and Roberts? I didn't watch but happened to see in the replay djokos reaction in the 2nd set at 4/4 and he was playing the next game. When he scored a point or won that game he went berserk – crazy – roaring and every nerve, muscle, ligament was visible. AWFUL but shows that he seems to want to win every game, set, match or even point. Don't like it at all!!!!
Just wish Rafa could put him in his place or for that matter anyone else.
Dumb questions! The press are accustomed to hear arrogant answers and behavior from some players and they expect the same from Rafa! It´s so many years on the circuit and they still do not know Rafa…or are just asshole envious! VAMOS RAFA You know best than the rest how to play on clay ! Just beating
Vamos Rafa.
I wonder if he ever feels like shooting a reporter…
Our Rafa? Heavens no, Teresa! LOL
Teresa, I think it's the opposite. Probably he makes them feel like pulling out their hair. He gives them no quarter and kind of shuts them down immediately when he feels they want a controversial response to a question. That's the main reason I luv watching his interviews.
Did you see the one when he was asked about "everyone" being worried about Djokovic and Nadal responded something to the effect, "everyone?" with a glint in his eye, eyebrow raised, then kind of a big grin? That one is priceless. I had to crack up.
I haven't seen this one – will look for it on youtube. He is great at shutting reporters down though – he's been doing this from pretty young as well. He knows the game well – very intelligent.
Totally agree.
He's not just a cute face, there's deep intelligence and a sense of humor especially when he turns the table on his questioners.

No point in staying in the UK when its as hot as Singapore.,Temperature measured not by a thermometer but by the amount of sweat. I don't sweat for six months and now i am sweating buckets, I hate the heat, hate the sun, i want the cold! I want snow, blizzards, gails, hail, whatever, just get that stupid sun out of the way.
