Heather Joy Hodges
A 23 year old woman from Elizabeth, Arkansas, HEATHER JOY HODGES, was arrested Tuesday, July 24th on a felony bench warrant charging her with selling prescription narcotics.
Sheriff's Investigators made a controlled buy from HODGES in April for approximately 8mg of prescription hydromorphone (Dilaudid) pills for $80.00. HODGES used a cell phone during the commission of the offense.
Investigators obtained a warrant for the arrest of HEATHER HODGES, and she was taken into custody and booked into the Detention Center yesterday on charges of:
Delivery of Schedule I or Schedule II Controlled Substance – Felony Conspiracy to Sell Prescription Medications – Felony Unlawful Use of a Communication Device – Felony
HODGES was released from custody after posting bond in the amount of $5,000 and will appear in Circuit Court on July 26th.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: open
After a bit of a search I am in a conundrum - get bluetooth version or RF (a la 2.4GHz, etc), however I can't figure out benefits of getting one over the other for these applications. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Interestingly I used bluetooth keyboard and mice where I work and one by one they all failed until there were none left.
There are various non-Bluetooth technologies available.
Bluetooth uses frequency-hopping in the 2400 mHz band. It was designed to use relatively little power and be reasonably resistant to interference. One advantage is that it is the only RF technology currently used for wireless mice and keyboards that is standardized across manufacturers.
A disadvantage of any 2400 mHz device is that they are competing with a wide variety of devices - wireless phone, WiFi, and your microwave oven.
Most traditional wireless mice and keyboards do not frequency-hop and use a single channel for the keyboard and one for the mouse. (Some older equipment may come with a single-channel transceiver, which can talk only to a mouse or keyboard. These are 27mHz. They compete with Citizens Band radio and some other low-power unlicensed devices. (Letsee, remote control for model planes, etc. would be one.) I've used Logitech wireless mice and keyboards for years, and never had a problem with battery life. However, some newer fancy models can run down batteries quickly. They are not interchangable between brands. Ironically, despite lacking frequency-hopping, these seem to be amoung the least affected by interference, because the Citizens Band has fallen into disuse.
On batteries - if the device has high consumption, use rechargables. If the device has low consumption, use regular alkalines. The problem with rechargables in low-consumption devices is that rechargables have a short shelf-life. Alkalines will last longer. Some devices give you no choice, and have proprietary rechargables. They do that because they are high consumption.
Some mice now use 2400 mHz, frequency hopping, but use proprietary standards - not Bluetooth, and not WiFi. There is some interchangability within the same manufacturer. For example, Logitech has compatible desktop mouse, notebook mouse, and presentation pointer. You have to look carefully at the packaging for the 2400 mHz designation. I have the Logitech MX610 left-handed mouse, which is 2400 mHz. I got it only because it's the only left-handed mouse available. It's fairly susceptable to interference, despite frequency-hopping. I can't use it when I am running the microwave oven in the next room. The battery life is very good, though I have read complaints from others.
There also are IRDA (infrared) keyboards, and these are interchangable. Not sure if there are IRDA mice.
I actually went back to a wired keyboard, as I wanted to try a Model M (not a real IBM, but the currently-manufactured licensed product from Unicomp) which I really like. It's the mouse where you really need wireless. I always found the cord to get in the way.
Frequency-hopping and mice/keyboards does not necessarily mix well. Frequency-hopping depends on the fact that if there is interference on one frequency, there won't be on another. The device randomly hops around to different channels. The problem is, if there IS interference, then there has to be a re-transmission. Works well for streams of data that can be buffered (audio, video) and OK web browsing, etc. Problem with mice/keyboards is that users expect real-time response - you don't expect to hit a key or move the mouse and sometimes have a delay.
Well, first of all, Bluetooth *is* RF. So, you really mean Bluetooth vs. non-Bluetooth.
:)) yes I know – when writing the post I was actually 'struggling' with that – product descriptions that I looked at either mentioned bluetooth or RF (if it's non- bluetooth device). After a little bit of thinking I decided to pose the question based on them in order to potentially not muddy the water…
Thanks for the very helpful info

Has there been any update on the release date yet?
Unfortunately we've encountered a few limitations with the Envato API and weren't able to make it a reality, apart from a few other personal issues.. :/
If anybody wishes to pick up the project and bring it to life, please send me an email to mail[at]tiagoduarte.com
My sincere apologies,
I'd be interested in taking it on – I've emailed you @Tiago.
I purchased the domain teamforest.net three years ago for an idea like this and never had time to do it. Obviously that's super targeted at just one marketplace and this is more universal. I'll send you an email. Maybe we can make a small team and split the work to get it running.
It would be nice to have some automation and most importantly transparency for partnerships. Right now it requires complete trust in the account owner managing the sales.
Great – thanks.
How is this project coming? Will it be available soon?

Dear Readers, my latest book under my pen name Sparkle will be released at the end of May. I received the book cover yesterday and wanted to share.
A little bit about "Sparkle." Sparkle's books are targeted towards the adults and young adults who normally read street fiction with adults in mind. Sparkle tones it down, but still gives it that edgy, raw and exciting feel that readers of street fiction enjoy but with young adults as the central characters. If you read Sade's Secret, you were first introduced to Crystal in it. Crystal's Crush is Crystal's story.
About Crystal's Crush by Sparkle:
Crystal Jackson is surrounded by drama. Her parents are constantly arguing and fighting. To escape the drama at home, she befriends Tyreek "Ty" Davis. Crystal ignores her two BFFs, Dena and Sade, warning about Ty and her crush leads her into a full blown relationship with him. Ty's dreams of being a football star are threatened to be crushed when he finds himself mixed up in his older brother's drama. Crystal learns that Ty is more than a high school student, he works for his brother. Ty soon discovers the identity of his father and his father's enemies set out to kill him and anyone close to him. Crystal and Ty are like a new age Bonnie and Clyde as they go on one deadly adventure after another. Lives are lost and enemies crossed. There's nothing sweet about turning sixteen as Crystal quickly finds out in this edgy tale of drama, intrigue and teenage love.

Worlds (1981)
by Joe Haldeman
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Wildly inconsistent. Some of the best genre fiction as writing that I've read in years combined with some of the worst.
Haldeman looks into the future & sees many splinter cultures moving into artificial satellites around the Earth. Our civilization is further splintered by colonies on the moon & other celestial bodies. Earth isn't in great shape & we're given a tour by our heroine from one of the splinter colonies.Lots of action & adventure while exploring how our civilization has changed in a century (published in 1981 & the story takes place in 2084). Maybe he bit off a bit bigger bite than he should have. It drags in places & he goes a little wild in others, so as much as I enjoyed it, it really isn't a top notch book. Not like [b:The Forever War|21611|The Forever War|Joe Haldeman|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167322714s/21611.jpg|423] or [b:All My Sins Remembered|362801|All My Sins Remembered (Gollancz SF S.)|Joe Haldeman|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174107744s/362801.jpg|1851650]. Still, it's better than the average SF book & his civilization is a credible, scary look at the future.

Our Take:
Designed and made in Italy, the Vacupack Elite Vacuum Sealer is modified for sale in the United States. Modifications ensure a consistent seal with any bag, be it wet or dry with a high quality heat bar. Vacupack is a well respected brand name in the vacuum sealer world with a good 25 years of experience building quality machines. Quite naturally, it is the reliability and durability of this brand name that makes it a worthy investment. This particular model boasts of a 2 year warranty and 5 year extended service contract, which is yet unheard of in the consumer grade vacuum sealer industry.
Portability: 3/5
With the oblong crimping heating bar separated from the main unit that houses the motor and pump, it takes up a larger footprint than usual weighing at least twice an average vacuum sealer. Furthermore, since it requires AC power at all times, the Vacupack Elite Vacuum Sealer isn't exactly a portable unit. At best it can be used in RVs and the likes but don't expect to take it along on road trips or other places. This is a heavy and bulky sealer designed for prosumer use.
Click Here to see other customer reviews…
Functional Versatility: 5/5
Some have complained that it is slow, big and heavy that works well only when the heating slab is pushed down. However, one needs to understand that it is highly versatile in its functioning and hence needs a bit of time to achieve its miraculous feat. To start with, it accepts both wet and dry bags because of the unique design of the crimping heat bar that works perfect on the first attempt to seal wet bags. Together, the motor and pump manage a good 26 to 27 hg pressure and work with any kind of textured bag and since the sealer uses a soft jaw, it is very bag friendly. In short, this sealer accepts all bag materials and so you, the consumer, can decide what type, size and kind to use. Additionally, it comes with Vacupack Sous Vide bags specially designed in Italy.
This sealer also works well with jars and containers using the vacuum port and external vacuum hose. As for the exact type of bags to use, 4 mil and 3 mil standard textured bag rolls work fine. You can also use precut sizes regardless of its dimensions.
Design: 5/5
Inspired by Chamber vacuum sealers used in professional kitchens, the Vacupack Elite vacuum sealer uses a two part design with the major weight taken up by the motor and pump housing that also holds the controls and a connected front end that houses the sealing heat bars. The entire unit is enclosed in a sleek stainless steel exterior, which resists dust and grime accumulation and maintains its appeal for the entire 5 years of its service contract, plus more.
Furthermore, the heat seals measure around 12.5 inches over the face of the machine and it uses Italian grade piston pumps with a moisture filter between the sealing bar and the motor/pump housing to help keep the motor dry even when sealing wet items.
Because of the division of space between the heating bar and the motor unit, some would say that this is a chamber sealer but I classify it as an external sealer simply because it keeps most of the bag outside with just the head securely positioned under the heating bar.
Capable of handling 50 bags per hour, taking many different bag brands, operating on auto mode and sealing canister. It is a versatile and functional sealer.
Long cooling time and large footprint. Not the most portable of designs.
Ease Of Use: 5/5
Some might say that the Vacupack Elite is a obnoxiously slow machine and needs a bit of pressure on top but I did not find such complications with this vacuum sealer. If anything, it is actually one of the easiest external sealers to use. All you have to do is protect against jagged edges when sealing anything that may puncture the bags by using a paper bag first and place the mouth of the vacuum bag inside the crimping heat bar. Choose the option from the six available choices based on whether you are sealing wet or dry products and the capacity, press start and wait for the sealing to finish. It is that simple.
I have managed to seal around 40 bags per session after which, the unit gets hot and needs a good 10 minutes cool down time. This translates to about 50 bags per hour, which in my books is obscenely fast!
Warranty And Replacements: 5/5
A first in the consumer vacuum sealer industry, Vacupack Elite comes with a 2 year manufacturer warranty that covers every possible kind of defect and a 5 year service contract that gives you, the user, peace of mind knowing that any damage will be taken care off with the only extra investment being spare parts.
Maintenance: 5/5
Maintaining this little beauty is easy. After the device cools down, make sure to wipe the crimping heat bar clean and free of any liquid deposits. That is all you need to take care of. And if you don't over fill bags with wet stuff, this sealer should last a lifetime.
Our Overall Rating: 4.7/5
The Vacupack Elite is a prosumer grade vacuum sealer designed to handle wet, dry and canister sealing. With an ergonomic and durable design, excellent performance and high functionality this is a sealer that you can depend on. In short, if your freezer holds a lot of vacuum bags, if you prefer vacuum sealing anything and everything then this sealer is made exclusively for you. Although, it isn't commercial grade, one could use it for the same.
- Automatic operation.
- Separate crimping heat bar and motor unit.
- Can handle both wet and dry sealing jobs.
- Designed exclusively for US markets in Italy.
- External sealing attachment works with wide mouthed and narrow mouthed canister sealing tubes.
- Great for marination and sous vide cooking.
- Stainless steel construction with low maintenance.
- 2 year manufacturer warranty with 5 year service contract.

Lemon-Scented Ginger Almond Crisps
Toasting the sliced almonds deepens their mild flavor, an ideal partner for the zing of crystallized ginger.
- Yield: Makes about 10 dozen
Source: Martha Stewart Living Special Issues 2001
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 teaspoon pure lemon extract
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup minced crystallized ginger
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until golden, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove almonds to a shallow bowl to cool. Turn off oven.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flour, sugar, ginger, lemon zest, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add butter, molasses, and lemon and vanilla extracts, and beat until combined. With a wooden spoon, stir in almonds and crystallized ginger.
Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a 7-by-3-inch rectangle about 1 1/4 inches thick. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until very firm, about 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with Silpats (nonstick French baking mats) or parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, cut rectangles crosswise into very thin slices, thinner than 1/8 inch, if possible. Arrange on prepared baking sheets 1/2 inch apart. Bake until just beginning to darken around edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer crisps to wire racks to cool.

In Stock
I had heard good things about CP, but never took the plunge in buying anything until recently. I ordered 3 of the Domain Base Kits. They arrived super fast, and were packed very well. I was so impressed, that I placed a second order. The second order had a set of toyhax stickers added. I thought it was just a bonus for the second order, since I didn't get a sheet with my first order. Today (06/6/17) when I went to check my mail, there was a letter from CP with a note stating they ran out of stickers when they sent my first order, and enclosed is a sheet of stickers. Sweet! I was already impressed with the service I received, but that just took it over the top! It's little things like that, that really set them apart from the rest! I see me making more purchases from them in the very near future!

KUHT 8 scheduled maintenance cuts off 'Murder on the Home Front'; encore scheduled
"Unfortunately, due to scheduled maintenance on KUHT (on Sunday, 2/16), the last 15 minutes of the program, Murder on the Home Front, was cut off prematurely," Houston Public Media Marketing Manager Stephanie Ceritelli told mikemcguff.com. "To rectify the situation, we will be airing an encore presentation of "Murder on the Home Front" this Friday, 2/21 at 10:30 p.m. which means the Charlie Rose program will now air on Saturday, 2/22 at 12:00 a.m."

One of the many things I love about writing this is that it constantly brings random new people onto my radar.
Take this picture - I liked her look, but who the heck is she? The caption said ''Alison Sudol'', so then I had to find out who she was, what she does and why the American franchise of Marie Claire magazine invited her to its recent event in Los Angeles.
Turns out she's a singer-songwriter who goes by the one-woman band moniker of A Fine Frenzy, which is almost as good as Prince's affectation when he changed his name to an unpronounceable ''love symbol''.
A quick visit to YouTube to listen to A Fine Frenzy tracks revealed that her song Almost Lover is quite familiar, because it's been used in loads of ads and movies and things. It seems a bit drippy at first listening, but then you tune in and it's rather catchy.
But even if I had already known who she was, I might not have immediately recognised A Fine Frenzy in this pic because, as well as having two names, she's also a hairdo changer of Linda Evangelista frequency. She's probably best known as a Christina Hendricks shade of redhead, although she's also been through hippy long blonde and Celtic princess brunette.
Funnily enough though, it was her new city blonde tousled bob with self-cut style fringe which first attracted me to this picture. It made a fresh change from all the very done dos you see in event shots and gave an edge to her before you even got on to the outfit, which references so many key trends it could make you quite dizzy.
There is the subtly revealed midriff, which I have rarely seen achieved so well. Just a glimpse of silky skin which lets you know that should her top creep away from the waistband of her skirt, it wouldn't be any kind of a muffin top wardrobe malfunction, but a deliberate look. So that deserves respect right off.
Next to note is the long skirt, flaring gently to fullness from the waist, not in a sticky-out, unflattering dirndl way - like the hideous first skirt everyone has to make in school needlework - but in a draping manner, which flows waftily with the wearer.
The ''it'' length for this key current skirt shape is ''midi'' - which I always think of as about 15 centimetres below the knee, although I've read it recently defined as five centimetres, so make your own guess. Ms Frenzy's is full length and none the worse for it.
I love how she's made the long skirt work as an urban look, as I've never felt comfortable seeing those floor-grazing tropical print beach dresses in town.
This shows full length can be chic, which is handy as a long skirt is a brilliant trans-seasonal piece. It gives you just enough cover if a bit of a sharp wind gets up, without making you feel all trapped in tight pants or hosiery. And if it warms up, you can hitch one side up and tuck it into the waistband. Or hold it up with one hand as you walk, which makes you feel like a striding warrior queen.
And then, nailing this ensemble, there is the bomber jacket. What a great re-addition to the jacket spectrum this style is. It's retro fresh, goes with everything and is another great four-seasons-in-one-minute choice, as they are made from relatively lightweight fabrics, but fit snugly when done up.
In one final trend gesture, Ms Frenzy is wearing her bomber in the shoulder shrugged manner I have so often mentioned of late. This is easier to carry off than it might appear, at least for the less challenging end of real life (combined with toddler wrangling or multiple shopping bags not so much) and - once again - is ideal when you kind of sort of need a jacket but also don't.
So here it is, from the bare midriff, through the wafty skirt, topped off by a caped jacket, a look that is both on trend and on trans-season.
Steal it immediately.

Michael A. CROOKER, Plaintiff, Appellant,
TAX DIVISION OF THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, et al.,
Defendants, Appellees.
No. 96-1094.
United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit.
Aug. 20, 1996.
NOTICE: First Circuit Local Rule 36.2(b)6 states unpublished opinions may be cited only in related cases.
Michael Alan Crooker on brief pro se.
Donald K. Stern, United States Attorney, and Karen L. Goodwin, Assistant United States Attorney, on brief for appellees.
Before TORRUELLA, Chief Judge, BOUDIN and LYNCH, Circuit Judges.
We have reviewed the parties' briefs and the record on appeal. As in the case of an award of attorney's fees under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(E), see Crooker v. United States Parole Comm'n, 776 F.2d 366, 367 (1st Cir.1985), the decision to award litigation costs, even to a complainant found to have substantially prevailed, is within the sound discretion of the district court. The magistrate judge amply supported his recommendation that costs not be awarded--a recommendation adopted by the district court. There was no abuse of discretion in declining to award costs in this case.
Appellant's motion for summary reversal is denied.
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.

Re: 1930 V-16 odd ball barn find ambulance?
Congrats for your aquisition I´ve found some info about this model on Internet:
http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/20582/lot/384/ (good pics with excellent resolution)
It seems a unique model indeed as maybe only this model was transformed by this coach builder. V-16 is also a legendary plus. Seems well preserved so restoration would not be too difficult.

Re: 1930 V-16 odd ball barn find ambulance?
I'm new to the forum as well, but I watched that car on the Bonhams website with a lot of interest. The body was a 1930 Cadillac Series 4375-S seven-passenger sedan, according to the body tag on the cowl. A friend of mine told me that the engine number corresponds to a Series 4361-S five-passenger town sedan. It appears to me that the front fenders were heavily modified to resemble those of a 1934 Packard, and the radiator shell has been fabricated to resemble one from a 1934-1935 Cadillac (although there are significant differences). From the photographs, the work appears to have been done in a very professional manner. Extending the back end of the sedan body and incorporating a rear door like that took a lot of careful thought and skillful execution. Those wood and steel composite bodies aren't easy to stretch.
The grey paint and the shape of the scraped-off places where the lettering used to be on the doors and rear windows led me to guess that the car had served on a naval base, perhaps during World War II.
The generator on the driver's side is non-original, and was clearly added to accommodate an emergency vehicle's need for extra power for lighting and siren operation. There's a non-stock voltage regulator on the firewall that must have been added to control the new generator. The original vacuum fuel pumps have been replaced with electric units. And the air intake horns for the carburetors have been cut short, with some kind of home-made air regulating arrangement wired over the openings.
You have a very unique and fascinating vehicle. Of course, it's your choice what to do with it. Even though you don't have much of the early history of the car, it shouts "I have a story!" and you'll never see another one coming at you on the road. At any car meet you take it to, you will be the center of attention.
I own a 1930 Cadillac V-16, and I can give you information on parts, service, etc. You should join the Cadillac & LaSalle Club, if you're not already a member, and the Professional Car Society is full of folks who know a great deal about hearses, ambulances and limousines, and who might be able to tell you about Gibson Motorcoach.
Congratulations on your magnificent catch!

Chad Ochocinco had zero fantasy value with the New England Patriots last season. We don't know if he'll have any value in 2012, but if he does, it won't come with the Pats. After failing to trade him Thursday, New England has cut the 34-year-old wide receiver. Ochocinco gave his thanks via his Twitter account.
"Thoroughly enjoyed the oppurtunity to play for the Patriot organization... fans were [freaking] wicked awesome, I wish all of you the best...," he wrote.
Ochocinco caught 15 passes in 15 games for 278 yards and a single touchdown last season. He recorded a total of one reception during the team's three playoff games.
Fantasy Analysis:
But kiddies, be forewarned before you click that source link: Ocho didn't exactly say "freaking."
Some other NFL team will give Chad a chance and make him work for a roster spot. Whomever signs him will convice himself that Ochocinco struggled in 2011 because he was unable to learn the Patriots' offense. Maybe he'll do more in a different system. But at his age, Ochocinco is way, way over the hill. Moving along ....

The 17th to the 20th Century circuit
It starts with the art of the Baroque, in all its exuberance, as expressed in sculpture, religious objects and the richly decorated furniture and rooms.
The succeeding gallery is furnished as a salon, with monumental oak panelling in Regency style. The central and wall display cases contain a selection of fine caskets and snuffboxes of French and German manufacture, as well as beautiful items of Tournai porcelain.
Brussels tapestries and French furniture
Entering into the next gallery, the visitor finds Brussels tapestries designed by Jan van Orley (1665-1735), as well as French furniture from the transitional period between the Louis XV and the Louis XVI styles.
Liège suites
A little further are Namur cupboards and two small Liège suites, as well as luxurious and refined eighteenth-century table silverware, accompanied by candleholders, fans and miniatures.
China and Egypt
The gallery housing the Louis XVI furniture is given colour by five, large Chinese paintings. The suite of gilded wood in Directory style reflects the fascination developing at the time for Egyptian art. The whole is rounded off with a few notable examples of Empire furniture made by the Brussels cabinetmaker Jean-Joseph Chapuis (1765-1864).
The Magasin Wolfers
The final gallery is devoted to the artistic production of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements, and offers a review of the major trends between 1890 and 1940 in respect of sculpture, glassware, ceramics and table silverware. All items are in display cases designed by Victor Horta to show the jewellery and decorative objects from the firm of Wolfers Frères. A substantial proportion of the collections is at the moment being kept in the reserves, awaiting new galleries for its display (these are the subject of a project currently under way).

Drought takes toll on Caverns
In this photo provided by National Park Service, bats exit the natural cave entrance in Carlsbad Caverns National Park. (Courtesy Photo/Peter Jones)
Emily Russo Miller
Record Staff Writer
Usually some 400,000 bats reside in Carlsbad Caverns National Park each summer, but those numbers have dwindled this year because of the drought, experts say.
Only a "couple thousand bats" were counted in the caves this summer, which is when bat numbers peak since the pups are born in June, Division Chief of Interpretation and Education Marie Marek said in an interview Friday.
Marek added that the drought conditions, coupled with a wildfire earlier this summer that burned 8,200 acres of vegetation in the park very close to the natural cave entrance that the bats fly out of each night, has crippled the bats' main food sources: moths and insects.
"It's down to the ash here," she said. "The fire just really devastated the vegetation, and that's a direct result of the drought."
The bat cave area in Carlsbad Cavern provides important habitat for 17 species of bats, including a large colony of Brazilian (Mexican) free-tailed bats, as a place to give birth and raise young, as well as a stopover for migrating bats, according to the park's website.
Marek estimates maybe 10,000 bats appeared in August, which has disappointed tourists hoping to see spectacular evening outflights of bats exiting the cavern in search of food.
"It's not the big, swirling cloud of bats as usual, so visitors are disappointed," Marek said, adding that bats may be migrating farther south or to Texas instead of staying at the caverns. "But that's nature, and this is the bats' coping mechanism."
It remains a mystery how bats knew to stay clear of Carlsbad Caverns this year, Marek added. But she said this is not the first time Carlsbad Caverns experienced record low numbers of the mammals.
"Under the cavern's first superintendent, Col. Tom Boles, it was a very dry year," she said. "He wrote about it in his daily journals."
Most of the bats that did live in the cave for the summer will begin migrating south to Mexico near the end of October, Marek said.
She remains confident that they will return in great numbers next year.
She said, "If we get enough moisture this winter and rain in the spring, they'll be back."

Posted by Tom Grant on October 8, 2010
IBM recently launched CityOne, a serious game that poses the kinds of questions about water, power, finance, and retail that city planners face daily. It's a powerful tool for a B2B company like IBM to market its products and services in a way that engages the customer more deeply, making the company's value proposition more clear and compelling.
IBM has been making a serious investment in serious games for quite a while. Here's a short interview with IBM's serious games program manager Phaedra Boinodiris, in which she lists some of the business applications of serious games. Here's a brief overview of the work IBM has done with USC to incorporate a serious game about business process management (BPM) into the USC business school's curriculum.
The BPM game, INNOV8, demonstrated that a serious game can translate a dry and complex subject like BPM into something more interesting and vivid. It appeals to human psychology in a way that even the best white paper can't. Humans are visual creatures, so it's often more effective to show us a principle in action rather than talk about it. A serious game like INNOV8 pushes other buttons in our brains, too. For example, there's a higher probability that someone will finish playing a game than reading a white paper. If the game succeeds at keeping your attention, you want to see it through its conclusion.

A three year outcome evaluation of a theory based drink driving education program
Sheehan, Mary C., Schonfeld, Cynthia C., Ballard, Rod, Schofield, Frank, Najman, Jackob M., & Siskind, Victor (1996) A three year outcome evaluation of a theory based drink driving education program. Journal of Drug Education, 26(3), pp. 295-312.
Published Version
This study reports on the impact of a "drink driving education program" taught to grade ten high school students. The program which involves twelve lessons uses strategies based on the Ajzen and Madden theory of planned behavior. Students were trained to use alternatives to drink driving and passenger behaviors. One thousand seven hundred and seventy-four students who had been taught the program in randomly assigned control and intervention schools were followed up three years later. There had been a major reduction in drink driving behaviors in both intervention and control students. In addition to this cohort change there was a trend toward reduced drink driving in the intervention group and a significant reduction in passenger behavior in this group. Readiness to use alternatives suggested that the major impact of the program was on students who were experimenting with the behavior at the time the program was taught. The program seems to have optimized concurrent social attitude and behavior change.

Canada farm minister favors TPP deal, poised for trade fight with U.S
By Rod Nickel
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - Canada's new agriculture minister said on Tuesday he is likely to support the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiated by the previous government, and is inclined to retaliate against the United States over a longstanding meat-labeling dispute.
The Liberal government elected last month, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has not taken a firm position yet on whether it will support TPP, which groups 12 Pacific rim countries.
"I suspect when I evaluate the whole thing, it will be something I support," said Lawrence MacAulay, 69, a former potato and dairy farmer from the Atlantic province of Prince Edward Island.
"I see nothing today that would make me not want to support the whole package," he told Reuters in an interview.
MacAulay said a C$4.3 billion ($3.24 billion) compensation package offered by the previous government to dairy, poultry and egg farmers who will face more import competition looks fair.
TPP faces a tough battle to win support in the U.S. Congress as a key senator said on Friday the Obama administration may have to renegotiate parts of the deal.
MacAulay also said Ottawa is prepared to retaliate against the United States over a meat-labeling dispute, although he conceded that Canada's International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland is in charge of that file.
Canada and Mexico won a World Trade Organization ruling in 2012 that said U.S. regulations illegally discriminated against imported meat. Continued...

Many observers expect the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to announce another round of quantitative easing, or other stimulative measures, following its meeting on September 12th and 13th. The best evidence for this speculation yet comes in the form of minutes from its last meeting, at the end of July, which were released to the public today. Here's the key paragraph:
Many members expected that at the end of 2014, the unemployment rate would still be well above their estimates of its longer-term normal rate and that inflation would be at or below the Committee's longer-run objective of 2 percent. A number of them indicated that additional accommodation could help foster a more rapid improvement in labor market conditions in an environment in which price pressures were likely to be subdued. Many members judged that additional monetary accommodation would likely be warranted fairly soon unless incoming information pointed to a substantial and sustainable strengthening in the pace of the economic recovery.
Elsewhere in the minutes, members discuss possible forms of stimulus, including new asset buys (or quantitative easing), extending the period for which the Fed promises to keep interest rates low, and lowering the interest rate paid to banks for reserves kept in the Fed. The latter policy, while untraditional, has worked wonders in Sweden.
Now, despite these options being discussed, the last meeting ended without further action. So it's possible that these options will be discussed again and the committee will again decide to defer action. The next key sign will be Ben Bernanke's speech at the Jackson Hole, Wy. central bankers' summit on August 31st. Historically, such speeches have been used by Fed chairs to signal coming policy changes.

|[jira] Commented: (STDCXX-466) basic_string<>::rfind() throws length_error(), but should return npos
|Tue, 24 Jul 2007 00:27:31 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-466?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12514815 ] Martin Sebor commented on STDCXX-466: ------------------------------------- The rationale for this change from http://firstname.lastname@example.com/msg01251.html: Consider these two examples: string s ("abc"); s.find ("def", 0, 5); s.find ("def", 0, -1); There is no way for us to detect that 5 is too large in the first call to find() so the the function returns npos because "def" is not found. But in the second example which is equally invalid we throw, even though we could just as easily return npos. I think we might as well return npos is all such cases for consistency. Doing so also simplifies the implementation. > basic_string<>::rfind() throws length_error(), but should return npos > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: STDCXX-466 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-466 > Project: C++ Standard Library > Issue Type: Bug > Components: 21.

That was the fear among brokers and fund managers tonight. The market responded quickly by marking many of the big names sharply lower. Debenhams, which reported earlier this week, fell a further 12 3/4p to 390 1/4p. There were also losses for Kingfisher, 18 1/2p to 388p, Marks & Spencer, 5 3/4p to 403p, GUS, 17 1/2 to 657p, Next, 20p to 1055p, and Tesco, 2p to 258p.
Electrical retailer Dixons slipped 7 3/4p to 242 1/4p after CSFB lowered its recommendation on the shares from buy to hold.
Glasses were raised in the Square Mile to the decision of the Chancellor to freeze excise duty on beer, wine and spirits. One senior broker insisted it was needed to enable the brewers and distillers to cope with the huge amounts of cheap booze flooding the country from Europe, where duties are a lot lower.
Brewer Greene King put on 7 1/2p to 815p, Burtonwood 1p to 218 1/2p, Eldridge Pope 1p to 266 1/2p and Wolverhampton & Dudley 6p to 718 1/2p. The pub chains are also likely to benefit as they compete against the take-home trade. Enterprise Inns rose 9 1/2p to 801p, Regent Inns 3p to 137 1/2p, and Six Continents 5p to 768 1/2p.
The big spirit distributors closed mixed, Allied Domecq 1 1/4p firmer at 425p, while Diageo fell 6 1/2p to 902p, and Glenmorangie 'A' 17 1/2p to 685p. The tobacco companies did not emerge unscathed with 6p going on a packet of 20 fags. Brokers said it could have been a lot worse. BAT eased 2p to 666p, and Imperial Tobacco 16 1/2p to 950p. Rank celebrated the move to extend tax free betting to bingo with a rise of 3 1/2p to 288 1/2p.
Oil shares were depressed by the Chancellor's decision to impose a windfall tax of 10% on North Sea oil profits. This follows recent rises in crude oil prices on world markets. BG lost 6p to 302p, Shell slipped back 8p to 507p and BP 7p to 598p.
The City gave a cautious response to the Budget proposals with share prices losing much of their early lead. During the Chancellor's speech the FTSE 100 index fell 24 points to close just four points up at 5263.9. Wall Street opened lower following a disappointing set of numbers from planemaker Boeing and the threat of an interest rate rise from Fed chairman Alan Greenspan.
British Airways was 2p better at 238p despite the best efforts of chief executive Rod Eddington to tone down City expectations about the group's recovery prospects. He has alerted brokers that they should not read too much into recent figures showing passengers flocking back to the flagship carrier.
In comments that may alarm brokers that have recently moved to cut forecasts on the airline's losses for last year and this, Eddington admitted to fellow industry executives meeting in New York: 'People are travelling in increasing numbers, although I wish they were paying a bit more - our average fares are still much lower than a year ago.'
On Monday, broker Credit Suisse First Boston upgraded the shares from hold to buy, setting a 12-month target price of 290p. Speculative buying lifted Dixon Motors 12p to 272p.

The Constitution means nothing to the statists.
This is a discussion on Article IV, Section 1? within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; From the U.S. Constitution: Article. IV. Section. 1. Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial ...
From the U.S. Constitution:I don't see how this doesn't force reciprocity between all states. Drivers licences, marriage certificates, and all other "acts, records, and proceedings" are recognized by all the states. Why not a carry licence?Article. IV.
Section. 1. Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.
It doesn't mean a state has to be "shall issue", "may issue", or anything else. Just like a drivers licence, the state controls the criteria that must be met to attain the licence. Shouldn't the states HAVE to grant reciprocity just based on this?
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
The Constitution means nothing to the statists.
No, here's why. The public act of giving a CHL in a state, is that a license is granted for chl within that state. Other examples, you can get a business license in a given state, but it won't allow you to conduct business in other states.
I do not know what the formal definition of public acts is for this section of our constitution, and I certainly don't know the case law, but it is clear from our everyday lives and practice that either it wasn't interpreted to mean what you think it means or it has not been litigated (unlikely).
If the public are bound to yield obedience to laws to which they cannot give their approbation, they are slaves to those who make such laws and enforce them.--Samuel Adams as Candidus, Boston Gazette 20 Jan. 1772

Is a gay marriage certificate from Iowa or any of the other states that legalized gay marriage recognized in states that have not legalized gay marriage?
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
That same prevailing interpretation says that if there are no regulating laws at the Federal level, then the Full Faith and Credit clause applies fully. I agree that this should mean reciprocity of carry licenses, as there currently are no Federal standards for CCW.
By the way, if you look at the various National Reciprocity bills that get introduced from time to time, this is basically what they are trying to do---establish minimum Federal standards for CCW reciprocity that would try to put some teeth into the Full Faith and Credit clause...

Typing "Bacon†in Google's News search feature brings up all kinds of baconish news. Sometimes it's about a person named Bacon and other times it's about the tasty food. Today it digs up an article about pig farmers in England. They are under the threat of becoming extinct. With the rising cost of grain for the pigs it's getting to expensive for the farmer to say in business.
The costs of pork products in England have gone up, but the farmers have yet to see any of that money. All they are asking for is their fair share so they can stay afloat. These farmers breed and care for their pigs in a free-roaming fashion, unlike a lot of US pig farms. The cost for raising pigs this way is higher but produces a better quality (in my opinion) bacon. If you check out the cause's website pigsareworthit.com, you can learn about the situation and how they raise their pigs.
If you dig around on the website you will find an amusing song about pigs called "Stand by Your Hamâ€, it's sung to the tune of "Stand by Your Manâ€. There is also a farm-aid style video for it too. So to all my England readers support your local pig farmers and they will keep you supplied with great tasting bacon.

Meet the Man Who Crashed the Grammys
February 12, 2013
The man who crashed Adele's big Grammy moment confesses to ET! Despite heightened security at the 55th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, 24-year-old Ukrainian reporter Vitalii Sediuk managed to not only get inside the venue, but interview celebrities on the red carpet and sit in the second row of the venue right behind Justin Timberlake! How did he do it? And why did he jump on stage when Adele won her Grammy? Watch the video to find out…
This is not the first time Sediuk made headlines with a close encounter with celebrities. The reporter received a slap from Will Smith when he kissed the star on the red carpet. After Sunday's Grammy stunt, Sediuk was arrested and spent the night in a jail cell, released Monday morning with a pending March court date. Was it worth it?

1965 Mustang vent window frames
2 Attachment(s)
I have a 1965 Mustang and I'm trying to remove the vent window frames so I can replace the window seals. I have the roll up window removed and all the bolts for the frame. However, I can't figure out where to go from here. The hpoto shows the attachment at the bottom of the frame. Does anyone know how to do this? I appreciate it very much.
Attachment 73612
Attachment 73613
I'm not sure what your question is...are you trying to remove the vent window then?
That bolt at the bottom there in your picture is an adjustment screw. I have a 67 so yours might be a little different mine, however on the door panel side you should have access to the head of that bolt. It might have an allen head with a hex lock nut around it. It should screw right out, and the vent window will lift up out of place.
can't recall how I took out mine but just follow the window track. That's what's holding it in. The pic you posted is your tilt adjustment I think.
There is a nut on that stud that you need to remove. Not the nut you see, but one on the inside of that box that's welded to the inside of the door frame. If you look thru the hole in the door frame (right behind the where the interior door panel covers up) you will see a nut on that stud. The stud has a slot in the end of it. Remove the nut, sometimes when the threads get dirty or boogered up the stud will turn, but try to get the nut off without doing that because it will change your window alignment. It may need to be changed of course, but it's always nice to start where it was, so try not to let the stud turn.
Anyway, you remove that nut that is thru the hole in the door frame and you tilt the wing window in at the top letting that stud come out of the hole in the door. You then pull the wing window up out of the door. You will need to twist it of course when that stud on the bottom of the channel reaches the top of the door.
The is the stud I am referring to you see in the photo going into that nut on the bottom of the vent frame/front window channel.
That nut is welded to the vent window frame/window channel. The stud is screwed into it. The "washer" looking part to the right of the nut on that stud is part of the stud. You adjust the top of the vent frame in and out at the roof by loosening the nut (it's a lock nut, stopping the stud from turning) on the other end of the stud thru the hole I have described in the previous post. You loosen the nut, then using a screw driver in the slot at the end of the stud you turn it screwing it in or out of that nut you see welded to the vent frame/window channel in your photo. By screwing it in, it pulls the bottom of the vent frame towards the interior frame of the door, thus making the top of the vent go out away from the roof of the car. Screwing out the stud does just the opposite bringing the vent in at the roof.
So you don't want to screw that stud from where it is. You remove the lock nut and the whole thing comes out. When you get it to the top of the door you need to rotate the vent assy so that the stud comes out thru the slot in the top of the door where the glass goes. But it's likely it will need to be adjusted anyway so if it moves it's not a big deal. But you want to start with it close so leaving it as it is is the best way to go.
1965 Mustang vent window frames Reply to Thread
Martin, thanks so much for your help. Also to the others that replied. I'll try that tomorrow. I just (so far) don't see an opening on the door panel where there is access to the nut, but I'm going to give it a try. Thanks again!!!!!
See the round hole with the square hole inside over to the left of this photo, that's it. :D
1965 Mustang vent window frames
Brian, thank you so much for your help!!!! I looked and looked and couldn't find a round hole! When you sent the latest photo of the door, at least I knew the area to look. Still nothing! Then I noticed a small tear in the area and there it was!!!! The hole was covered by the paper barrier on the door. The door panel had been taken off to paint the car, so the paper was there but painted body color. I cut through the hole and there it was! I feel pretty stupid, but not any more, thanks to you!
No problem, that is why we are here, to help each other get these damn projects done! :D

Here are two ways. (And BTW, it helps when you post here to include an
example that others can copy/paste into Mathematica instead of having
make up an example for you.) Anyway, let's make a couple of lists:
list1 = RandomInteger[10, 5]
list2 = RandomInteger[{15, 20}, 5]
One method: Use Riffle to make a new list alternating elements from
list1 and list2, then Partition into pairs, like so.
Partition[Riffle[list1, list2], 2]
Second method: Put list1 and list2 into matrix with list1 as the first
row and list2 as the second row, then Transpose the matrix.
Transpose[{list1, list2}]

Essential WordPress Plugins For Your Site
WordPress is the blogging software of choice for many bloggers. If you use WordPress, it is essential to use the right plugins to make your site run at its best. Most of these plugin choices really depend on what you are trying to accomplish. Below is a list of essential WordPress plugins to use in your site.
WordPress Seo by Yoast
I love this plugin for SEO. It almost makes it too easy. When you are working on a new post, you can compare it against Yoast's checklist. It will tell you what is missing, what could be better, and gives you an overall synopsis of how good your article is. The plugin makes suggestions and is a good way to make sure that you have done all you can to make your post as SEO-friendly as possible. Alternatives are SEO Ultimate and All-in-One SEO
Akismet is a life saver. If you hate receiving spam and having it blasted all over your site, Akismet is a must-have for your WordPress site. The total number of spam that Akismet has thwarted on Creative Beacon since its beginning is 74,190! Think about having to do that manually. It would literally be an around-the-clock job to monitor the site. Akismet is one of the most essential WordPress plugins.
ManageWp is a service more than a plugin. It uses a plugin called the Worker plugin to work its magic. You can do so much with the service, though. if you run more than one WordPress site, you can log into all of them from ManageWp's admin area. Then, you can update all of your plugins, WordPress versions, and you can even run physical backups and backups to your Google Drive and Dropbox account. To check out ManageWp, click here.
Contact Form 7
Contact Form 7 is one of the best contact form plugins I know. You can create highly customized forms without a lot of knowledge. You can create as many fields as you'd like and they will all be generated into an email that you received upon submission. It goes great with an additional plugin, which I will mention next in the list.
Contact Form DB
This may be a more specific WordPress plugin, but it does a heck of a job. If you want to store submissions in your database, this plugin is the tool for the job. For example, a client of mine hosts international events. When someone registers, their submissions are stored in the database. Attendee lists can be exported as CSV files, which are really handy.
Yet Another Related Posts Plugin (YARRP)
This plugin is great for getting additional pageviews. The way it works is that it displays related content, based on what they are viewing. This is great for getting your posts seen by people who are actually interested in the content. They come for 1 article and end up reading 3.
If you want to sell anything, from digital downloads to physical goods, WooCommerce is the plugin for you. Set up an online store and accept payments within a day. Using a few add-on plugins, you could easily upload a spreadsheet of products and hit the ground running in no time. It's easy to use, and integrates well with most themes. Many themes have support built in as a standard feature.
W3 Total Cache
You have to manage your site and optimize it, period. There is no getting around it. You have to do a good job of reducing load times and W3 Total Cache does this very well. Cache pages whenever possible and Minify CSS and Javascript. Learn how to use this plugin and it will be a great asset to you and making your WordPress site lightning fast. I would consider this as one of the most essential WordPress plugins. A great alternative is WP Super Cache.
Google XML Sitemaps
If you want to succeed with seo without a lot of extra work, this plugin will save you a lot of time and frustration. Using this plugin, you can generate the sitemap for your site automatically, which you can submit to Google. This makes it easy for Google to index your site. It also makes generating a sitemap as easy as clicking a few buttons.
WordPress Gzip Compression
Making your site run fast and reduce file sizes, Gzip compression is something everyone should do. This plugin helps to reduce bandwidth usage. It is recommended in the YSlow test for websites, and should be implemented in order to increase page speed.
I use this plugin to send me a daily backup of my database. This is a handy tool to optimize your WordPress database and keep things neat and tidy. You can set the plugin to do everything automatically as well. WP-DBManager can worry about your database so you don't have to.
SumoMe is the most amazing plugin suite for WordPress I have ever seen. There is so much included in this plugin suite, that it is one of my most essential WordPress plugins and tools for every new WordPress install. I have grown several sites of my own much faster than ever before with this plugin suite. Here is a quick rundown of what comes in the collection:
- List Builder – It creates an optimized popup on the pages you specify.
- Smart Bar – It creates a bar at the top of the site where you can promote something special.
- Scroll Box – An opt-in box slides up once a specified area has been reached on the page.
- Welcome Mat – This creates a welcome section to collect email addresses.
- Content Analytics – See how much of your content is actually being read.
- Heat Maps – See where people are actually clicking on your website.
- Google Analytics – Integrate Google analytics right on your live site.
- Share – The easiest way to implement share buttons on your site to promote your content.
- Image Sharer – Make your images go viral with this sharing tool.
- Highlighter – This works similar to Click to Tweet, making it easy to share portions of your content.
- Contact Form – Place a live contact form tab on all pages with this module.
Alternative Sharing Plugins
There are many different alternatives, such as Sharebar, Sexy Bookmarks, Shareaholic, Sociable, and ShareThis, but none of them are as inclusive as Sumome. Social sharing encourages your visitors to promote your content and really helps your site to grow. I would consider any great social sharing plugin to be one of my most essential WordPress plugins.
Wp Smush
Compressing the images on your site will help reduce load times drastically. You can go into the media library and bulk smush all of the images on your site at once. You can also manually smush the ones that you need to. This is an excellent tool, and your images don't experience a loss in quality. It has recently been taken over by WPMUDEV, aWordPress powerhouse. It offers a premium version with even more compression, which has an added bonus of their membership, where you get access to hundreds of plugins.
If you are looking to create a wonderful site with the best plugins that you can find, this list should help you to manage and promote your site easily. These essential WordPress plugins are meant to make your life easier by optimizing tough tasks or making time consuming tasks much quicker. This will enable you to focus more on content and less on management.
What plugins do you use on your WordPress site? Do you use any essential WordPress plugins that I haven't listed here? If so, be sure to list them in the comments. What are your most essential WordPress plugins?

Europe appears to be posting data that finally suggests a sustained rise in economic conditions in the region. The latest Markit Flash Eurozone PMI (Purchasing Managers' Index) tracked at 53.2, down a fraction from the 32-month high (53.3) posted last month. Updated, more detailed figures are expected to trickle in during the next week or two, but the Flash numbers looked promising.
German activity was somewhat off, though it remains the inarguable driver on the continent. The number two economy, France, was particularly lauded for finally getting back on track and showing signs of stability that are anything but fleeting. There was also another rise in both output and new orders within key, large economies like Italy and Spain. For the latter, it marks the fourth consecutive increase in both categories and provide continued needed optimism for a nation that in recent years saw unemployment rates near 25%.
This isn't to say all is well economically. Several nations and its businesses are bouncing back from a harrowing low, face high debt issues that seem to be continually spotlighted by US-based credit ratings agencies and remain unsure just how much the Ukraine-Russia dispute will affect growth. Still, comparatively, conditions have not been so bright in the EU as a whole at any point during this decade.
- Brian Shappell, CBA, CICP, NACM staff writer
Look for NACM's coverage roundup of Markit PMI statistics and analysis from more than a dozen key countries in the April 3 edition of eNews at www.nacm.org.

Noticed on other forums that it's necessary to re-code the radio/cd players after battery replacement. Why not parallel the battery cable connectors with a 12 volt source during the change-out? Save a lot of trouble.

I highly recommend anyone changing their battery in a CRV, which has one of these radios, to check to see if they have the reset code number. Recently I changed the battery on my '01 CRV EX. My radio would not work after the battery install. Luckily, located in the glovebox was a little sticker which had the radio serial number. The Honda dealer was able to look up the radio reset code. If this sticker was not there, I would not have a working radio. (Most likely the serial # is also located on the radio but.....)
First time my battery went flat, I called my local Honda guy, he asked me my name, registration number and VIN #, and gave the code over the phone.
As a radio ham that makes constant changes to the radio gear in my CR-V, I know my reset code off by heart, I mean, it is only 4 numbers.
As an electrician, I know that a system like the one suggested would be a waste of time and money.
Sorry, but I had to say it.

I don't get it? What is the big deal about a smaller version of jumper wires keeping the system alive during the battery swap process. Four alligator clips and a couple of pieces of 16 ga or 20 ga wire. That is it. If a clip falls off then you revert to the code. Either method works.
If you do not have the code and the dealer is closed or does not have you as the owner of record, having a third battery like a motorcycle 12V battery makes it the easiest. That way you are less likely to interrupt the 12V while swapping the the old and new battery. You just connect the motorcycle battery negative cable to chassis ground and the positive cable securely to the stud on the positive battery cable's connector. Like with a 1/4" lug terminal and a nut that fits on the 6mm stud so it cannot fall off. You only need to grab a few threads so as long as you have them you are all set.
I wonder if a 2A. trickle charger would work in place of the motorcycle battery? As long as the voltage does not exceed 15V with no battery connected... Just to make sure no damage occurs from too high of an output voltage the code always works. Or does it?
I will have to take a good look at my '08 just to see how it is set up. I keep my code tag on the original key ring the dealer gave me with the keys. Just in case I also wrote it on an inconspicuous place of the owners manual.
Ironic how Honda goes to all the effort to make the stereo theft proof and all we do is try to defeat it! By writing the code on the Owner's Manual for instance.

Their physical condition became probably as good as that of any other village community in the world.
Nor in all probability was the village community a large body.
The village community managed its own affairs, and claimed a joint proprietorship in all the land within the village area.
This is the markgenossenschaft, the village community of the West.
The houses of all the rest of the village community were plundered in the same manner.
Such a village community was not the least honourable item in the sum of New England civilisation.
The zamindar was conspicuous and useful; the village community and the cultivating ryot did not force themselves into notice.
The republican city has long since passed away, but the seed of democracy remains planted deeply in the village community.
Moreover, the village community was not a body that could declare the law of the tribe or nation.
I do not think any finer gift could be given to a village community than a collection of useful and entertaining books.
