jargon necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 278 diseños de 45 diseñadores freelance.
GEOSkip is a new social media company that will be the next revolution in mobile search and advertising. Based on a web services platform, the product is designed primarily to work on smartphones like the iPhone, Andriod and Blackberry. The company name is based around the ideas of "geolocation" or "geography", and movement -- "skipping".
The overall concept is the following: Imagine that you are out at night with a few friends in a large and perhaps somewhat unfamiliar city like New York. GEOSkip solves the problem of "what to do next?" through user-defined preference profiles, social media integration (Facebook, Twitter) and GPS location based data. In other words, we connect you with venues you want to go to, based on what you like, where you are, and where everyone else is.
Our target audience encompasses university students, young professionals, senior executives and the "Average Joe". These are people with smart phones (Blackberry, iPhone, Android, etc), who are willing to spend money on entertainment. The logo should invoke in the target audience the following feelings (in order):
• Fun: appeals to the child or "rebel" in me
• Helpful: simplifies my life, reliable, trusted
• Easy-to-Use: intuitive, quick, hassle-free
We've also considered incorporating a slightly competitive aspect to the platform. We leave it to you as to whether to incorporate that into the logo design.
Be creative; you are the expert in this area!
We are looking for a logo that is instantly recognizable and conveys our brand identity. We'd like the logo to be comprised of both a graphical element AND the GEOSkip name, however the logo should be able to stand on it's own and be recognized.
It must be equally suitable for web, a mobile phone application and print design (such as business cards).
Please provide the logo in vector format (.EPS, .SVG), with a transparent background.
I have uploaded the logo of our competitor for comparison purposes. Please do not base your design off Foursquare -- we need to be different. It is so that you can see the necessity of having an image outside of the company name that is associated with the brand.

UH Manoa School of Law names two Freeman Foundation Fellows
Fellowships support foreign legal professionals in School of Law's LL.M. programUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Carol Mon Lee, (808) 956-8636
William S. Richardson School of Law
HONOLULU — The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa's William S. Richardson School of Law has awarded its 2006-2007 Freeman Foundation Fellowships to Sun Samnang of Cambodia and Wang Zhiyong of China. The fellowships, sponsored by the Freeman Foundation, support two students per year in the School of Law's LL.M. Program, and are available to students from China, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
"The School of Law is immensely grateful to the Freeman Foundation for this example of pathbreaking generosity," said School of Law Dean Aviam Soifer. "By making it possible for exceptional students from developing countries in Asia to come to the William S. Richardson School of Law for a year in order to earn their LL.M. degrees, the Freeman Foundation advances the rule of law through outstanding individuals and in realms where legal knowledge could hardly be more important."
The fellowships are worth approximately $40,000 each and pay for tuition, fees, and living expenses for one year of study at the School of Law. They are awarded on the basis of merit, need, and commitment to public service, and this year's two awardees were chosen from a group of excellent applicants from China and Cambodia.
Sun Samnang of Cambodia is a 1997 graduate of the Royal University of Law and Economics who has also studied in Seoul, South Korea. He now works for the East-West Management Institute's Program on Rights and Justice in Phnom Penh, where he coordinates the Law Fellows program supporting rule of law activities in Cambodia. He also teaches law at the University of Cambodia and the Royal University, and is a public interest lawyer working on legal and judicial reform.
Wang Zhiyong of China is a top graduate of Jilin University's law school and was designated as a judicial officer with the Supreme People's Court in Beijing. Since his graduation in 2000, he has worked as a clerk and judicial officer in the Criminal Division of the Court with a focus on economic crimes, illustrating his commitment to a career in the judiciary. He is now studying in Japan as one of 40 candidates out of 4,000 selected by the Chinese government for overseas study.
The Freeman Foundation, a private philanthropic foundation based in Stowe, Vt., was established in 1994 in memory of Mansfield Freeman and administered by members of his family, including his son, Houghton Freeman. The foundation is dedicated to increasing understanding between the United States and the nations of East Asia.

sdbarker, I sent you an email on the 23rd to try and address this! I will be resending again from a couple of different email addresses. Please have a look at the spam folder, that may be the case! Regards - Jon
Mine ViEmu 2.5.5 for VS 2010 stopped to work once again.
Tried to buy upgrade via symnum.com - site failed to load with 503 error.
Any ideas how I can make mine VS 2010 + ViEmu to work today ?
(As last resort am using vim7.2 for now ... )
Just managed to pay via PayPal, how long it usually takes to receive an key ?

Curious behavior with '/' when a match is found in a comment...
In normal mode, if I type '/', VS2010 searches incrementally forward. To stop searching, I press "Enter", and the cursor remains at the matching string.
However, if the match is in a line comment, "Enter" acts as though it is in Insert mode; a new line is inserted, and I'm still in search mode. The only way to get out of search mode is to press Esc, but then I'm taken back to the cursor position before the search started.
I don't know if this is ViEmu behavior, ReSharper behavior, VS2010 behavior, or an irritating interaction.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Here we go again... ViEmu 2.5.6.
Just closed and restarted VS 2010, same behavior.
Any update on when the VS Selection for VS mode will be operational in VS2010. I really, really, really, really miss this feature. I am having to touch my mouse way too often now
Pstrjds, we are planning a new release this week fixing the most important issues with Resharper and Visual Assist. We plan to implement the missing features afterwards, estimated several weeks afterwards (but it is really not simple, so it will take a while). Apologies for the hassles.
Good to know that the feature is being worked on. I am sure the reimplementation of the UI in VS2010 has made that sort of thing a total rewrite. No problem, just wanted to make sure it was in the list, figured if I mention it it would help to adjust priorities
By the way, still loving ViEmu! Don't understand why anyone would try to write code in VS without it. Now if we just had ViEmu for OpenOffice my life would be perfect.
Pstrjds, thanks for the kind comment!
The new, integrated VS-Selection/ViEmu-Visual-Range is mostly implemented now (only some issues with Visual Assist remained), and it'll be included in the next release.
Unfortunately, the Open Office vi/vim emulator will have to remain as A Job For Someone Else (TM)
Currently installed 3 official extensions. Copyright © 2003–2009 PunBB.

Glee Articles
Glee TV Series recaps, updates, analysis and photos.
Chris Martin on The Voice
AKM-GSI/ Splash
NBC announced yesterday that Chris Martin, Coldplay's frontman and husband of Gwyneth Paltrow will be joining The Voice as an advisor to the competitors and the judges. I don't watch The Voice, not even one episode. I'm told however that it's the best of all the talent searches. Full Story
Eating Gleeful New York Crow
Kevin Winter/Getty
I've been quite sick. Maybe it was the fever, or the medication dulling my reflexes.And I had the TV on because so many of you said I should check out Britney on X-Factor. And I'm sure there's a third excuse somewhere. But no matter how long I stew in it, I will have to admit the truth eventually. Full Story
Lea & Cory: Summer Of Love?
Lea Michele and Cory Monteith attended the Fox Upfront presentation the other day in New York to represent Glee. They'll both be back for Season 4...as ratings have steadily declined over the year. Some are saying that next year could be the last? Must be why Kate Hudson and Sarah Jessica Parker have signed on to guest star. Full Story
Showrunner Styles, Part II
Click here for Part I.I haven't watched Glee since last year, and I feel good about that. But I also feel great about the Glee Christmas album that's in my ears right now; they really do have some unadulterated joy, these kids. Or they did, right? Back in season 1? What I'm about to write is going to have a lot of opinions and a lot of the word 'allegedly'. Full Story
Glee – The New York Finale
Written by Duana I cannot tell you how seriously I considered getting on a plane to New York while watching this episode. Like, passport in hand, wearing only what I have on, I could be there in two hours. It's the best. The show celebrates the city so hard, and why shouldn't it? It is the greatest ever. Full Story
Do I Really Need To Say It?
Written by Duana I'm as malleable as anyone when it comes to TV tearjerking. Everyone has their particular flavour, but mine usually runs to weight-loss revelations that people are, in fact, strong enough. Other people get deeply involved in soaps, shows about babies, take your pick. Full Story
What catches your eye first?
The Hollywood Reporter's new issue features the Glee Season 2 finale in New York with exclusive access alongside the cast as they shot the episode. It's a long article. I gave it a skim. Enjoyed the part about the deal with the hotel and also what happens when they run long - costs etc. Glee is such a huge money grab for Fox, and still I wonder what their budget is. Full Story
On Prom
Written by Duana I don't have time for this, Glee. I don't. I can't deal with you suddenly finding your footing now, at the end of the year, when I have a whole season of reviews that quite rightly rip you up one side and down the other. Full Story
Same event?
When I go out with my friends, say Duana and I are in LA or whatever and we're heading out for dinner, followed by some party, normally since we stay together, we get dressed together as in we choose clothes that match in terms of occasion. Usually it's her matching me, because I'm always in jeans (she doesn't understand how a person can own so many pairs of jeans but jeans are like an addiction for me), but the point is, I'm never going to be in jeans while she's in some kind of ball gown. Full Story
The Singing Show
Written by Duana Brittany has a show on Youtube on which she outs Santana while Amber and Tina watch. It's about fondue, and consequently it makes me want fondue. Rachel asks Sam to the prom, and he really says no in a harsh manner. Full Story
Met Glee-off: Dianna Agron & Lea Michele
How did they both end up in red? They can try to convince me until they're red in the face that they did it "on purpose" but there is no way I'd believe it. I would however totally buy it if you tell me in two weeks that they'll have a throwdown about it at work. Who won the red match? I don't love red dresses ever, but for this battle, I'm taking Agron's Michael Kors. Full Story

Taylor Swift Reveals Her Biggest Fear
At 23, Taylor Swift has the world in her grasp.
She's rich, famous, talented and beautiful. She can't keep a boyfriend for more than five seconds, but hey, she's young and has time to learn how to maintain a healthy, solid relationship. Yet the singer has fears, just like the rest of us. However, her concerns are pronounced and of the celeb sort.
In her InStyle UK cover story, she reveals her biggest fear and what worries her.
"What I worry about is that I never want to end up kind of a self-centered, vein human being," the singer said. "My fears circle around me making the wrong choices and messing this up for myself. I don't wanna end up being awful and intolerable. Alone. Laying in a marble bathtub by myself, like sad, with a glass of wine, just complaining that my life ended up alone because I pushed everyone away because I thought I was too good to hang out with anybody."
That's a pretty vivid and neurotic fear, one she's clearly thought about. It sounds like a scene from a Marilyn Monroe Lifetime TV biopic that takes a little creative and dramatic license.
Turns out T. Swizzle will not become a Hollywood cliché, even though she fears it.
Swift continued, "The typical Hollywood sad cliché of the poor lonely starlet with no one because she put up all these walls and didn't trust anyone. That's my fear. And that's why I live my life the way I live my life because I'd so much rather feel everything than end up like that."
At least she is being proactive so her biggest fear never becomes her reality.

I believe this was mentioned during the telecast Sunday, but I recently read something about it as well and wanted to make sure to post something on it. Aaron Rodgers is the only QB in NFL history, yes, the only QB, to pass for 4000 yards in his first two seasons starting. That's impressive. Sure, McCarthy's pass-happy offense contributes to this, but so does Rodgers' massive talent for completing lots of passes – and especially completing lots of passes of 20+ yards. It's not surprising he made the Pro Bowl – we've got a really really good QB.
The more I watch Rodgers, the more I understand why TT and MM had such unwavering faith in the guy even before he'd started one NFL game. I credit them both for their talent assessment of Aaron Rodgers. I think it's significant that there is almost a 100% chance Aaron Rodgers will finish this season with the highest QB rating from a Green Bay QB in the last 20+ years. (Not sure if it's the highest in Packer history – anyone know the previous high rating?). Again, we have a really really good QB.

Happy September and Happy Father's Day!! 🙂 Spring has Sprung!
So for once in my blogging life I decided to be more organized regarding my posting.
Wow. *you gasp and die* Because I've made a schedule before, but I've NEVER actually followed it.
I've seen a couple bloggers creating blogging notebooks to organize their blogging. I tried it, but, knowing me, I can't be satisfied with whatever I've come up with. I think wasted about three notebooks trying to make it 'perfect'. I only wanted to organize my posts after a while though, so I found my aesthetic looking calendar and did a little blogging organizing, and decided I'd share it with you, in case you'd like to try it.
If you only want to organize your posts, this might work for you. I used to do my post ideas in a document (I didn't follow it though :P), but I couldn't see it at a glance. But with a calendar you can see it up on the wall and know which post you will be posting on the day. 🙂
Also, sorry for the blurry photos! (although I edited them a little using Canva) I took them using my Mom's phone.
|What you need|
- Sticky notes
- A calendar
- A pen/pencil
- Some post ideas
|What to do|
Step One: Grab some sticky notes and write a post idea on each one.
Step Two: Stick each of them on the day you wish to post it.
Step Three: (optional) If you want to, draw a love heart (or something) on the top middle of the sticky note, the top half on the calendar and the bottom half on the note. This is so that you know which day it actually is because a lot of calendar day boxes are pretty small. You will probably already know which day it is for (because EYES) but I thought it was pretty. I wouldn't recommend doing it if you're not sure about the day you're going to post it, because you might be moving posts around a bit and the top half of the heart will still be on the calendar.
As you can see, at the bottom of the top page, I cut the sticky notes at the bottom so that when I fold the calendar, they won't get all crinkled.
The reason I use sticky notes is just in case you want to move the posts around if something pops up, or you want to post something else before it.
This might not work for bloggers who post everyday, because then the posts will overlap each other. It will work though, if you put a sticky note below another sticky note like this:
Step Three: Make sure to write on the day boxes when you have something going on, so that you know when you can and can't post.
Step Four: (optional) Make little designs on the sticky notes. I put dashes around the edges of the papers on some.
Step Five: You're done!
However, if you don't have a calendar, here is another way you can see your post ideas at a glance.
Sorry for the terrible quality! 😦
I only have six boxes for the posts, but you can put seven if you make the rectangle at the top smaller.
I use mine as a to-do list.
and as you can see I don't have anything to do
The problem with this one is you can't keep the posts on the paper; you're going to have to change them once the week is over. But with the calendar you can keep them as a reminder of what you've been posting.
And with this, it'll work if you want to post everyday. 🙂
That's it! I hope you enjoyed this post. 🙂
Let me know in the comments if you decide to try it! My schedule is three times a week on any day, but rarely everyday. What is your blogging schedule? Do you have a blogging notebook?

Colorado Welcome Center at Alamosa
Stop in and say Hello!
Colorado has 9 Welcome Centers, located in key entrance points across the state. The Welcome Centers, which are staffed by an outstanding group of volunteers, serve as a great source of information for visitors coming to Colorado. The Alamosa Welcome Center is particularly unique as it is located in the historic Alamosa Train Depot. Alamosa was founded, in part, to accomodate the railroad. The first Denver & Rio Grande train arrived in Alamosa in 1870. By 1880, it was the center of narrow gauge railroading in America. The Alamosa Train Depot was built in 1908-1909. The town quickly sprung up from the railroad and Sixth Street became the heart of activity and commerce. After the decline of railroad transportation, the building was used for various government offices over the years.
In 2009, the interior renovations were made for the Colorado Welcome Center to move into their ideal home. Listed on the National Historic Register, the Depot features the architecture and memorabilia reminiscent of a bygone era. Partnering with the Rio Grande Scenic Railroad, this center offers visitors a place to stop and stretch their legs, or pick up their train tickets for a ride on the Railroad.
The Colorado Welcome Center at Alamosa offers:
- Maps, brochures, and information for the entire state of Colorado
- Welcoming travel counselors trained to answer any and all questions about Colorado and the San Luis Valley
- Personalized itineraries
- Road condition information
- Wi-Fi internet
- Pet friendly!

Obama, whose plane touched down at Fresno Yosemite International Airport at 2:40 p.m., unveiled a $183 million aid package that includes money for ranchers in California who have lost livestock, communities that are running out of water and farmers that need help conserving scarce water resources.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the president was delivering a "message of hope" to Californians and assuring them that the federal government will do all it can to alleviate stress brought on by the drought.
"We're trying to send a very specific message to producers that we are here to help to the extent that we can," Vilsack said.
Starting in April, Central Valley ranchers will be able to apply for $100 million in livestock disaster assistance funding that was approved by Congress in the 2014 Farm Bill. They can use the money to replace livestock who have died or purchase feed.
Normally, it takes more than a year for ranchers to get access to those relief funds, Vilsack said.
Ranchers and farmers will both have access to $5 million in U.S. Agriculture Department funds to implement water conservation programs, reduce wind erosion on drought-impacted fields and improve the access of livestock to water. Another $10 million will go to farmers and ranchers in other drought-impacted states for the same purpose.
Projects to stabilize dry stream banks will get $5 million in federal funds, and small community water districts set to run out of water in the next 60 to 120 days will be able to apply for a total of $3 million in grants.
Vilsack said Obama is also committed to helping individuals and families feeling the drought's pain.
The president will make $60 million in Agriculture Department funds available to food banks in California's driest towns, and students who qualify for free and reduced price lunch during the school year will be able to eat meals at 600 locations in drought-stricken areas this summer.
An hour before Obama was set to land at Fresno Yosemite International Airport, dozens of vehicles had pulled up to a long stretch of cracked asphalt across from a fenced section of the runway to watch him arrive on Air Force One.
Some came to this spot — known among locals for its great views of arriving and departing planes — on bicycles and motercycles on this unseasonably warm, 75-degree February day. Many Fresno-area residents sat in lawn chairs or the hoods of their cars, waiting to get the first glimpse of the presidential plane through binoculars or a telephoto lens.
Nikki Donnelly, 41, and Jim Donnelly, 64, brought collapsible camping chairs to set up in the bed of their silver Ford F-250 truck to watch the president's arrival.
"When will he ever be here again?" said Nikki Donnelly, from Madera.
The Donnellys don't own a farm or ranch, but living in the Central Valley, everyone is connected to the agriculture industry through friends or relatives, so everyone is feeling the effects of the state's historic drought, she added.
Nikki Donnelly said she has been through droughts before, but this is the first time she has been fearful that the water might actually run out.
"This is the worst I've ever seen it, and it's about time the president comes out here to look at what we're going through," Jim Donnelly said. "We're feeding the country. Someone ought to give us the water to do it rather than protecting some precious fish you can't even see."
Doug Mellecker's family sold its ranch 25 years ago, but he's familiar with the anxiety farmers and ranchers feel now with the crippling drought's end nowhere in sight. The fact that the president decided to visit the valley signals just how bad the drought is this time around, he said.
"The weather has been freaking out all over the place. There's snow and rain everywhere but here," said Mellecker, who biked to the long, skinny parking lot to watch the president's arrival. "If the farmers here can't irrigate, food prices will soar, and I can hardly afford my groccery bill now. There's going to be a domino effect that no one wants to see."

VICTOR � Route 96 doesn�t have a corner on the market when it comes to heavy traffic. Residents of Lane Road can testify to a constant flow of cars, school buses, pedestrians, bikers and runners on the east/west thoroughfare that connects Route 96 and County Road 9.
But it�s not the volume of traffic that has them on edge these days � it�s the dangerous curves and lack of sidewalks that fall between residential neighborhoods and the Victor Central School�s bus garage.
Melissa Gertner has lived in the neighborhood for seven years and travels Lane Road multiple times a day. The combination of an inclined road surface, compound blind curves, a confining hill on one side and guardrail and ditch on the other sometimes make for a white-knuckle drive.
�I�ve been caught off guard several times by people walking or biking because there�s no shoulder, no place for them to go.� Gertner said. �The way the curves are, as people try to navigate the curve, if there�s a bus coming in the other direction there�s not much you can do.�
An access road from the school and bus garage empties out onto Lane Road, which means there are regular bus runs and young drivers traveling at the same times, Gertner said.
�All of those factors make it dangerous,� said Gertner. �By walking or biking on that road, it raises the risk factor.�
Another nearby resident, Don Calabrese, said many of his neighbors walk their dogs or ride their bikes on Lane Road, but they�re taking a huge chance.
�When you�re walking into one of those curves,� he said, �the cars coming up the hill are aiming right for you until they turn into the curve. It�s kind of scary.�
He would like to see sidewalks built on the 40 mph stretch that joins the Canterbury Terrace, Taylor Rise, Esjay Drive and Sagamore Drive neighborhoods.
�We were told by the highway superintendent three years ago that a sidewalk would be constructed the following year,� said Calabrese. �But that never happened.�
New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Joan McDonald announced in January that $26.5 million in federal Safe Routes to School�aid�would fund 64 project sponsors to implement infrastructure improvements and public education campaigns across the state. The town of Victor received $389,816 to install sidewalk, signs and crosswalks in the Victor Central School District.
�The projects supported by this round of federal funding will help children get to school safely by providing features such as sidewalks, multi-use paths, crosswalks and pedestrian signals near schools,� McDonald said. �The education component of the program can help families make healthy, sustainable transportation choices and teach kids how to safely use the infrastructure in their communities.�
Interim Highway Superintendent Mark Years, who was elected to his first full term starting in January 2014, is not yet certain how the grant will specifically be spent.
�We were looking at a possible extension of sidewalks (as a solution),� said Years, �but because of the hill and terrain, I don�t think the sidewalk is going to go in. It would take some serious grading to make it work.�
Years said other options for pedestrians are being explored. And although no plans are set in stone because the town just recently received the grant, he�ll be putting his head together with Parks and Recreation Director Brian Emelson and representatives from engineering firm Fishers Associates to come up with a plan.
Meanwhile, people walk, run and bike on that road every day.
�You can discourage people from using it, but you can�t make them stop,� Gertner said. �There are very challenging blind spots. I think it�s a disaster waiting to happen.�
Residents seek relief on Victor's risky Lane Road

September 11, 1982 - October 31, 1982
Many 20th-century artists have experimented with the book form, which allows them to express their interest in multiples and reach a wider audience. In conjunction with Bookworks: 1982, the international conference of artists, writers, and publishers being held in Philadelphia in October, the Museum has selected nine artists' books which reveal a range of approaches to the artistic medium.
September 11, 1982 - October 31, 1982
John Cage: A Portrait Series by Robert Mahon is an exhibition of 216 photographs by Robert Mahon installed in the Director's Corridor by the artist.
September 11, 1982 - October 31, 1982
This exhibition presents the first comprehensive review of John Cage's scores, print editions, and books, which have added a visual dimension to his international reputation as a composer. Cage's link with the art and thought of Marcel Duchamp makes the Philadelphia Museum of Art, with its great holdings of Duchamp's work, a particularly apt site for this exhibition.
May 29, 1982 - August 1, 1982
Thomas Eakins: Artist of Philadelphia was organized by Darrel Sewell, Curator of American Art. It was supported by grants from the IBM Corporation and The Pew Memorial Trust.
May 15, 1982 - July 18, 1982
Frederick H. Evans, friend of George Bernard Shaw and Aubrey Beardsley, retired from his successful business as a London bookseller in 1898 to devote himself entirely to photography. His exquisite platinum prints of English and French cathedrals, parish churches, chateaux, woodlands, and landscapes established his lasting reputation as a pure photographer at a time when the manipulated gum print was the accepted medium of the London photographic salons and clubs.
February 27, 1982 - May 2, 1982
In 1962 Danny Lyon, armed with a camera, set off like thousands of his contemporaries on a voyage of discovery across America. He was a born wanderer and fearless observer who developed into an extraordinary recorder of the tumultuous events of the 1960s and '70s. This display of some 130 works forms an unusual autobiography of an artist who shows an intense and profound identification with his subjects.
February 21, 1982 - April 18, 1982
The University Museum, University of Pennsylvania, began acquiring African art in the last decade of the 19th century and by now has one of the largest collections in the United States. The twenty-seven sculptures that appear in this exhibition of Nigerian Art from the University Museum constitute some of the finest objects in the collection.
February 21, 1982 - April 18, 1982
Treasures of Ancient Nigeria, a loan exhibition from the Nigerian National Museum, was organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts and made possible by grants from the Mobil Companies Nigeria, the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

One of the biggest advantages of small business is that they can move at lightning speed, but only if they realize that. Many small businesses throw away this advantage and hesitate due to the risks that they perceive. Some of these risks maybe real, but often they are merely fear (F-E-A-R = False Expectations Appearing Real).
What small businesses may not comprehend is that they can quickly recover from a mistake and move on, taking what they have learned with them, thus, doubling their chances for success next time they try something similar.
It is this type of tinkering with their business models, products, services and marketing that often allows them to "get lucky." (Luck = when opportunity meets preparedness). A small business that tries new things and is constantly innovating will find themselves able to adapt quickly when a customer requests something out of the ordinary.
This is because each time they try new things they learn their limits, abilities and of new possibilities as well. Small businesses have a huge advantage, because they are agile and without bureaucracy, thus, they can easily outpace their corporate competitors in their niches.
In fact, it is usually the small businesses that do most of the innovation and the corporations that buy these ideas, small businesses or copy what they are doing. Why do they steal and copy ideas? Well, because they work.
A smart corporation will try to be innovative and to their credit they do come up with some cool innovations in the market place, but certainly not the majority of the ideas or concepts, especially the ones that really change the industry. So, please consider this.

Our AWD 5000 chassis dynamometer system incorporates the latest in linear guided technology for precise wheelbase adjustments. Utilizing a pair of precision linear rod assemblies, advanced ball bearing units, a heavy duty pneumatic cylinder and electronic controls, the wheelbase adjustment provides for trouble free and precise positioning over Dynocom's competitors.
While the competition's sensors sample about 20-60 sample/RPM, Dynocom's sensor samples at over 100 samples/RPM. This means that the Dynocom sensor is much more sensitive which provides the end user with the most detailed information possible.
Dynocom systems come standard with 4 differential analog inputs for sensors. Competitors only offer single ended inputs. Differential inputs are more noise immune and offer more accurate data faster. This allows the user to connect additional sensors (such as EGT, MAP, etc.) to the DC-Controller and plot those readings along with standard readings such as horsepower, torque and air/fuel ratio. Dynocom integrates only the highest quality parts - the 5000 Series utilizes only FRENELSA eddy brakes which are recognized as the world's highest quality.
Our Dynocom AWD5000 dyno features the Gates Poly Chain GT2® Belt Linkage system which insures that the front and rear rollers are always spinning at precisely the same road speed. This process eliminates the possibility of activating a vehicle's traction control system and also insures that a vehicle's torque management system is operating under the assumption that the vehicle is not skidding, turning or slipping, providing more reliable and accurate results.
The AWD 5000 system incorporates an advanced stand-alone embedded electronic design offering the utmost in performance, providing micro-second timing accuracy, 1000 Hz/s analog input sampling rates, precision digital interrupt triggered speed & RPM inputs. Optimized embedded software and precise synchronised clock/event timing provide for a higher performing, more accurate, reliable, and scalable solution.
Maximum Speed: 175+ MPH x 2
Maximum BHP: 1500
Max Vehicle weight/per axle: 12,000 lbs
Wheelbase Minimum: 90"
Wheelbase Maximum: 130"
Maximum Axle Width: 86"
Timing Accuracy: +/-0.1 μS
RPM Accuracy: +/-1/100th RPM
The DC-Controller is an all-in-one high performance dynamometer electronic control unit with standard atmospheric sensing (humidity, temperature and barometric pressure). Our digital handheld controller supports start/stop & configuration capabilities-keeping dyno operators in the driver's seat. It is hardwired for fail-safe operation of braking and control. The display provides for remote data display of individual dyno runs without leaving the vehicle. It has an integrated dyno run "GO/Logging" and "STOP/Brake" LED's, it also gives the ability to Increase and decrease load, or see HP and Torque numbers in real-time.
During a typical session we will do 3 runs, and provide you a print out of all 3 runs plotted on a single graph. We have the ability to plot power, torque, boost and AFR (Air Fuel Ratio) during a run.
Our rolling road sessions cost £65 (£78 inc VAT) per session. If you're part of a club and would like to book a group session please contact us about our special club day deals.

The Lady Bisons won set one 25-13 and set two 25-12, but fell 25-22 in set three before winning set four 25-17 in Spartanburg, S.C..
"Some people might look at it and say, `of my gosh, they lost a set', but it didn't matter," Rosenthal said. "We did what we came here to do. Every win is a good one. Road wins are even better.
"The truth of the matter is that Upstate played really well in the third set. We didn't play exceptionally well so that just made it a little bit harder. They did a nice job and we lost the set."
It was the 29th consecutive regular season conference win in a row for the Lady Bisons and their sixth win in a row overall this season. USC Upstate ended the Lady Bisons string of match sweeps at five in a row.
"We didn't play bad in the third set statistically," Rosenthal said. "We let them get on a little bit of a run early.
"I waited too long to call time out in that situation. We were up 3-0 and the next thing you know we are down 9-3. I wanted to see our players work their way out of it. We did a nice job of closing the gap, but it was too large of a gap."
Middle blocker Alex Kelly posted 16 kills and 17 digs, both match highs.
I thought Alex played really well," Rosenthal said. "I thought Jake Pease played phenomenal. She did a nice job of controlling the game."
Outside hitter Meghan Hinemeyer made 14 kills and added 13 digs. Opposite Charlyn Ursell made 10 kills and .600 hitting percentage.
"Char has been fantastic," Rosenthal said. "We needed that from her.
"Meghan didn't have her best passing game, but she did a nice job."
Also in double figures in digs for the Lady Bisons were defensive specialist Caitlin "Dot" Dotson with 14 and middle blocker Katie Rose with 11.
Mindy Quimby and Morgan Thomas each had 10 kills for USC Upstate.
Megan Healey made 16 digs.
"As a team we hit .315 and held them to .109," Rosenthal said. "I will take those numbers any day of the week."
The Lady Bisons are 15-5, 4-0 in the A-Sun. USC Upstate fell to 6-12, 1-3 in the conference.
The Lady Bisons will be back in action Oct. 16 against Campbell, a game that will be played at Belmont's Curb Center.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200
Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary end
The Lenovo ThinkPad X200 is a wonderful high-quality laptop featuring a 12.1" widescreen WXGA monitor, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (2.26 - 2.66GHz), an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD and up to 4GB of RAM whilst still maintaining impressive battery life.
While Arch Linux is running flawlessly on this laptop there are a few things you have to configure manually. This article will aid you in configuring your system and will provide additionally hints to make your ThinkPad X200 experience even better.
- 1 Setup
- 2 Configuration
- 3 Unsupported
- 4 Troubleshooting
- 5 See also
The ThinkPad X200 has a Intel PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN wireless adapter included. In order to make it work you have to install the iwlwifi-5000-ucode package when you install from a 2010.05 snapshot in order to get the firmware, by now the package is included in the linux-firmware package.
Now you can choose whatever network configuration programs you want to use. If you do not already know which network manager you want to use, we highly recommend netctl.
If you experience connectivity problems such as a slow connection or aborts, especially when connected to an (Enterprise) WPA2 network, then try to load the iwlwifi module with the options
bt_coex_active=0. There is no clear recommendation which of these options to be used as for some users
11n_disable=1 already solves the problem sufficiently, for others
bt_coex_active=0. Thus, play around with each of them. Example:
modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=2
If some of them work out for you, then make the options permanent by creating the file
/etc/modprobe.d/wireless.conf and adding the following:
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=2 # Disable blinking LED wireless light options iwlwifi led_mode=1
The graphics card is supported by the xf86-video-intel driver package from the extra repository. The Xorg server makes use of this automatically. There's no need for a Xorg configuration file.
# pacman -S xf86-video-intel
Audio is supported out of the box after installing the necessary alsa packages from the core repository.
# sudo pacman -S alsa-lib
See Alsa for more information.
Fingerprint Reader
Some versions of the X200 are equipped with an Authentec 2810 fingerprint reader. The fingerprint reader functions with pam and fprint with minimal configuration of pam.
# sudo pacman -S pam fprint
See Fprint for more information.
Disable bluetooth at boot
In order to disable bluetooth at boot you just need to add the following line to a newly created /etc/tmpfiles.d/disable-bluetooth.conf file. Please note, that there is no longer support for a /etc/rc.local file.
w /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth - - - - disable
Enable tap to select
You can enable the double click through tapping on your track point. Create a
/etc/tmpfiles.d/enable-tap-to-select.conf with the following content:
w /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/press_to_select - - - - 1
Hard Disk Shock Protection
The ThinkPad X200 comes with an integrated 2-axis accelerometer providing the possibility of parking the hard drive's disk heads preventing from data loss due to heavy shocks.
First you'll have to install tp_smapi and hdapsd from AUR. Then you have to load the hdaps module provided by tp_smapi with the option invert=7 passed. This will correct the orientation of the accelerometer's axises. If you are using systemd, create a file
/etc/modules-load.d/tp_smapi.conf with the following line:
# Load tp_smapi at boot options tp_smapi invert=7
Then you need to start the hdapsd daemon:
# systemctl enable hdapsd # systemctl start hdapsd
Now check your log files with
journalctl if you see any parking/unparking entries which indicate that hdapsd is successfully configured.
For full information see: HDAPS
If the mute button on your keyboard is not working, then be sure to add acpi_osi="Linux" to your boot parameter in /etc/default/grub.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet acpi_osi=Linux"
Screen calibration
If you experience your stylus to be working very imprecisely, then you might need to calibrate it first. Install xinput_calibratorAUR and run the following command:
sudo xinput_calibrator --device "Serial Wacom Tablet WACf004 stylus"
After calibration you need to create the file called
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf with the settings provided by xinput_calibrator.
Screen rotation
The screen rotation hardware button does not work by default. First you have to assign this button to a free keycode. In order to find out an unused keycode, you can use the command
xmodmap -pke | less.
# File: /etc/systemd/system/setkeycodes.service [Unit] Description=Assign each hardware button to a free keycode on boot [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes 0x67 184 0x6c 185 0x68 186 0x66 187 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
Here is a very good tutorial for adding extra keys : Extra Keyboard Keys
Then you can assign the script for screen rotation to that button.
# File: /usr/local/bin/screen_rotation.sh #!/bin/sh # Find the line in "xrandr -q --verbose" output that contains current screen orientation and "strip" out current orientation. rotation="$(xrandr -q --verbose | grep 'connected' | egrep -o '\) (normal|left|inverted|right) \(' | egrep -o '(normal|left|inverted|right)')" # Using current screen orientation proceed to rotate screen and input tools. case "$rotation" in normal) # rotate to the left xrandr -o left xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet WACf004 stylus" rotate ccw xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet WACf004 eraser" rotate ccw ;; left) # rotate to normal xrandr -o normal xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet WACf004 stylus" rotate none xsetwacom set "Serial Wacom Tablet WACf004 eraser" rotate none ;; esac
The assignment of the keycode to the script depends on your desktop environment. For Gnome the assignment can be easily done in the Keyboard preferences of custom shortcuts. If you are using another desktop environment (such as XFCE, LXDE, Fluxbox ...) you can always use the program xbindkeys.
Screen auto-rotation
The auto-rotation of the screen does not work by default. First you have to install the HDAPS package so as to get the values worked out by the integrated 2-axis accelerometer of the Thinkpad X200. Then the following script will enable you to use the accelerometer's data to automatically rotate your screen :
#!/bin/bash # (To have the exact names of these devices you should type the command : xsetwacom --list devices ) stylus="Serial Wacom Tablet stylus" eraser="Serial Wacom Tablet eraser" function rotate { if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then # error ... exit 1 fi case "$1" in up) nextRotate="none" nextOrient="normal" ;; down) nextRotate="half" nextOrient="inverted" ;; right) nextRotate="ccw" nextOrient="left" ;; left) nextRotate="cw" nextOrient="right";; esac # Rotate the screen xrandr -o $nextOrient # Rotate the tablet xsetwacom set "$stylus" Rotate $nextRotate xsetwacom set "$eraser" Rotate $nextRotate } while true; do # 1) We extract data about the actual position position=$(cat /sys/devices/platform/hdaps/position) x=$(echo $position | sed -n "s/(\([-0-9]*\),\([-0-9]*\).*)/\1/p") # most of time contained in [350,650] y=$(echo $position | sed -n "s/(\([-0-9]*\),\([-0-9]*\).*)/\2/p") # most of time contained in [-650,-350] # 2) We work out the x value (= left and right inclination) (always between if [ $x -lt 400 ]; then rotate left elif [ $x -gt 600 ]; then rotate right fi # 3) We work out the y value (= front and back inclination) if [ $y -gt -400 ]; then rotate down elif [ $y -lt -600 ]; then rotate up fi # 4) wait before checking the value again sleep 0.5 done
Then you can run this script at the startup in order to make your screen automatically rotate when you need it. For instance, you can use the file ~/.fluxbox/startup on fluxbox, or the command : gnome-session-properties if you are using Gnome 3).
Power consumption and fan control
You might notice a beeping whilst your system is running. This is due to missing fan control. Install the tlp package from AUR to enable extensive fan and power consumption control.
You can further disable the nmi-watchdog by creating the file
/etc/tmpfiles.d/disable-nmi-watchdog.conf with the following line:
w /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog - - - - 0
This will disable the watchdog at startup.
Additionally you might want to define different brightness level and automatically dim your screen when you are running on battery. A DE and WM independent solution is the usage of pm-utils. Detailed instructions can be found here. They are tested to work with a X200T.
Suspend to RAM
Suspend to RAM is working out of the box with the standard Arch Linux kernel after installing pm-utils from extra.
# pacman -S pm-utils
Issue the command
# pm-suspend
as root to suspend to RAM. The laptop will wake up on any key press or on opening the lid.
Note: Very seldom after resuming the backlight won't come back on. The following page on ThinkWiki might provide information on how to solve this issue: Problem with display remaining black after resume.
Unlike those on older models, the fingerprint reader on the X200 ("Authentec 2810") is unsupported on linux as there are no working drivers either in the kernel or outside[1].
failed to execute '/usr/sbin/inputattach'
If you see the above error in your logs, open
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/70-wacom.rules and comment out SUBSYSTEM of inputattach.
System feels unresponsive
If your system feels unresponsive and lagging, you can try creating a file called
options drm_kms_helper poll=N
PM device: Resume from hibernation error: Failed to restore -19
This is likely to be related to the tpm_tis and tpm modules not being properly unloaded before hibernation. These modules are required by the device listed in the error as 00:0a:
# dmesg | grep 00:0a [ 0.377877] pnp 00:0a: Plug and Play ACPI device, IDs PNP0c31 (active) [ 10.746742] tpm_tis 00:0a: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x1020, rev-id 6) [ 10.746751] tpm_tis 00:0a: Intel iTPM workaround enabled [ 10.866734] tpm_tis 00:0a: TPM is disabled/deactivated (0x6)
To unload the module create the following executable file called
/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/tpm.sh, assuming the use of the systemd hibernation procedure:
#!/bin/sh case $1/$2 in pre/*) echo "Going to $2..." modprobe -r tpm modprobe -r tpm_tis ;; post/*) echo "Waking up from $2..." modprobe tpm modprobe tpm_tis ;; esac

text: Last week, we checked out the launch of the new Bic Flex4 razor in partnership with the Toronto Raptors and DeMar DeRozan. The launch party took place at Garrison's Barbershop, which is known for its masculine, rustic & friendly atmosphere. We got a chance to speak with BIC Razor's brand manager James Cheng to learn a bit more about the product. "One of the main features that sets it apart are the 4 individual adjusting blades that give you a great contour when shaving," said Cheng. For the men on the go, the lubricating aloe vera strip with vitamin E gives a clean lubricated shave if your all out or don't have time to bother with shaving cream. I, personally, got a shave with the new razor and can attest to the ease of the blade and how relaxing the overall experience was. I'd personally recommend checking out the Bic Flex4 razor and Garrison's Barbershop if your looking to up your grooming.

Union casts doubt over Yallourn pay row talks
The Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) says it doubts conciliation talks today with the operator of the Yallourn power station, in south-east Victoria, will resolve a long-running industrial dispute.
The power station's owner, Energy Australia, has locked 75 workers out of the plant without pay, after the union's escalating industrial action threatened energy supply.
The two parties will head back to the Fair Work Commission today in an attempt to resolve the year-old dispute over pay and conditions.
The CFMEU's organiser, Greg Hardy, says he doubts Energy Australia will make the necessary concessions to end the dispute.
"Well they're draconian, they're one of the recalcitrant employers in the industry, they're the only power company in Victoria to use the lockout and this is the third time they've done it," he said.
"They're an oddity within the power industry."
Energy Australia says it believes it can reach a deal with the CFMEU.
The company's Michael Hutchinson says the industrial dispute has cost the company about $10 million.
He says it is in the best interest of all parties to reach an agreement.
"Every step of the way we've focused on trying to resolve this EB [enterprise bargaining] at Yallourn - that's why we put a generous rollover agreement on the table first, that's why we put that agreement to a vote and that's why went to conciliation in late May this year," he said.
"We'll certainly be going to conciliation wanting a deal and we hope that's what the CFMEU want as well."

La Rioja: countryside within everyone's reach
Sierra de Cameros mountains
La Rioja , in northern Spain, is a land of vineyards and wine, art and culture, and, of course, countryside. You will love the variety of its landscapes. Here you will find Mediterranean forests along with high mountain landscapes that rapidly give way to semi-arid areas with an almost lunar look to them. Water will accompany you on many routes - there are seven rivers in this Region. There are many ways to discover the countryside of the La Rioja Region. These are a few of them.
From peaceful walks on specially prepared trails, to adventure sports, activities for young children, biking routes on Vías Verdes (disused, conditioned railway lines)... Many alternatives, all with the same idea: to enjoy the countryside of the La Rioja Region to the full.
For the more daring
If you like excitement, then La Rioja is your ideal destination. Here you can go climbing on rock walls reaching 200 metres high, in the Najerilla, Iregua, Leza and Cidacos valley canyons; or climb more than 120 peaks, including the Sierra de la Demanda Mountains, the region's highest, with San Lorenzo peak at 2,260 metres above sea level. Otherwise, you can feel all the excitement of caving at any of its 36 caves and potholes; go paragliding or hang-gliding over the San Millán and Leza Valleys, or in the Ezcaray area; you can explore tracks and forest trails by mountain bike, with stunning routes like those in the Oja Valley; canoe down the white waters of the Iregua and Najerilla rivers, or go canyoning along the gorge of the San Martín and Peña Muro stream, or the Jubera River. Sounds fun, don't you think?
For all kinds of people
Mountain boots and clothing, water bottle, hat, rucksack and, above all, a desire to experience the countryside. In La Rioja you will find many easy, signposted routes with good access. Trails like those running through the Obarenes Mountains, dominated by vineyards; or those to be found alongside pine woods, lakes with icy water, and waterfalls in the Picos de Urbión Mountains. Come to the Sierra de Cebollera Nature Reserve, just 50 kilometres from Logroño, and explore its network of tracks and trails. At the Visitor Centre you can get detailed information on activities available at the reserve throughout the year. Here you can visit the La Paz and La Viña caves. They are fully prepared for visits by the general public of all ages.
Bird watching
Did you know that Europe's largest colony of white storks is to be found in Alfaro? This is one of the surprises awaiting you at the Sotos del Ebro Nature Reserve, where you can also see herons, blackbirds and kingfishers. Less than 50 kilometres away, Arnedillo awaits you in the heart of the Rioja Baja Valleys. This area has the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve designation. Here you can see griffon vultures in flight from up close, at the Vulture Viewpoint. Don't forget your binoculars! These carrion-feeding birds, along with other birds of prey, eagles and different protected species, inhabit other mountain ranges in La Rioja, such as the La Demanda, Urbión, Iregua, Leza, Jubera and Obarenes Mountains. Choose a route and watch these birds in flight.
These are just a few suggestions for you to enjoy the countryside in the Region of La Rioja. As always, the best thing is to come and see for yourself. You won't regret it.

A Form of Currency: UCLA Graduate Open Studios
It's all too easy—especially in a city permeated by the entertainment industry and material gain in general—to forget that there are still many artists out there committing their lives to their craft without the slightest hope of a monetary reward, and that there are a vast amount of studios in operation that have absolutely nothing to do with film or television. In fact, at the UCLA Graduate Open Studios in Culver City this past Saturday, I found that there were at least 30 dedicated artists at work who were not only putting their pieces up without price tags, they were most likely taking out student loans to do it.
This is not to say these young practitioners were exercising pure artistic selflessness; the hope, I gathered, as I traversed through the maze of sectioned-off galleries amidst packs of the hippest and most attractive art crowd I've seen in some time, was that people would notice the stand-out work, that they would pay attention (as opposed to money).
And attention can be a form of currency in itself. My colleague Helen, who I attended the event with discovered this fact in the most literal sense. We were vocally admiring the work of Max Rain (a stand-out artist, for sure)—in particular, a photograph of his that shows a piled arrangement of 20 or more dead and deformed rodents he collected as an employee of an animal shelter, the result of which amounts to a kind of macabre yet beautiful collage—when Max himself approached in the most amiable, non-egotistical manner possible in that situation. Helen told Max that if she had money, she would put the piece above her bed, to which he replied, "Really? If you promise to put it above your bed, I'll give you a print for free." He wasn't lying. The mere idea of someone posting his work in their bedroom was, to him, compensation in itself.
I did, however, get a hint from another one of the artists, Sarah Dougherty—an incredibly talented painter who pieces together large LA-set landscapes with found objects, tapestry, and other pop-up book-esque features—as to who the real target audience might be. "We had our professor critiques this week," she sighed in exasperation to me, going on to explain how most of the reviews were positive, but one in particular had her completely devastated.
Being in the "real world," or at least the world outside of collegiate critique, it may seem difficult to relate to Sarah's (or even Max's) point of view. Who cares what a professor thinks? They're not making any money either. But when you think about it, our art world—at least the part of it I'm interested in—is not so different from that Culver City rat maze I danced around on Saturday night, snatching up complimentary cheese and wine where I could find it. All artists, for the most part, are not looking to feed their wallets or even their ego. That's not why they spend hours upon hours, day after day, inside tiny white rooms, experimenting with pigments or tweaking the electrical feeds on video installations. Why do they do it then? The truth is I don't know. I'm tempted to say sex, but it probably has more to do with communication, putting something out there that's you, says you—and how can something not be you when you spend that much time and energy on it?—then having someone else come up, take a look, and say, you know, I'd like to post you above my bed. Maybe it does have to do with sex.

The Nullarbor Plain is a vast, arid region in southern Australia. The name "Nullarbor" comes from the latin terms nullus optus transien meaning 'nothing to see here, move right along' and bora supra meaning 'supremely boring'. The Aboriginal name for the area is 'Oondiri' meaning 'don't bother'. It is the world's largest collection of absolutely nothing, and occupies an area that cannot be measured by conventional means. Nullarbor is also the name of one of Australia's biggest cities located in the middle of the plain, just out of sight of the Eyre Highway.
Despite the fact that there is absolutely no reason to live in the Nullarbor, the Spiragraph Aboriginal people inhabited the area for millions of years prior to European settlement. The first settlers, for no known reason, were determined to cross the Nullarbor.
"It's the most magnificent place on Earth, a kind of Shangri La, and probably the site of the Garden of Eden. I wish I'd crossed it sooner!"
Edmund John Eyre was the first to cross the Nullarbor, and between 1840 and 1841, he and three Aborigines with a pack mule built the highway that connects Port Augusta and Norseman, which Eyre named after himself - the Crazyman Highway.
In the 1950's, the Australian Federal government recommenced the terra nullius policy and, despite the fact that the area was actually inhabited by people, allowed the British to test nuclear weapons in the Nullarbor.
Cultural Significance[edit]
Every Australian has crossed the Nullarbor at least once. Australians who have not crossed the Nullarbor are considered "un-Australian".
"Look mate, if ya han't crost th Nullarbor, then ya jus not bloody Straiyan. Ya midaswel be a seppo or a bloody frog or summink. So get in ya ute an do it. An on the way back, pick up a carton wood ya?"
Nobody lives on the Nullarbor, however it is important as a buffer zone between Westralia and the other states, thus maintaining a safe distance from the non-event horizon that surrounds Perth.
The Nullarbor is also considered a bogan heaven, because it contains the southern hemisphere's largest collection of broken down cars. However, until the number of bottle shops increases significantly, it is unlikely to be more than a popular tourist destination.
"I'm sure it's all very interesting when you can understand all the seven-syllable words, but basically it comes down to a big flat expanse of iron-rich dirt and rocks, with the Southern Ocean to the South, and more desert on all other sides. Oh and I think there are some caves."
Hot and dry during the day, and cold and dry at night. The only rain ever recorded in the Nullarbor was 12mm in 1983.
Transport plays a major role in the Nullarbor, because everyone who is there is by definition on their way across it, whether by road or rail. There are no towns between Norseman and Ceduna, only a single route between West and East, with scattered roadhouses.
