From the Editor - Wireless Networking
How about a project that combines hardware construction, community building, network hacking and, of course, Linux and other free software? Best of all, the stuff you need to get started is cheap and standardized, and there's a great balance of helpful resources and unanswered questions. We're talking about wireless networks. You'll impress even people who aren't Linux users by offering convenient Net access at your business or organization and the public spaces nearby.
Here on the West Coast of the USA, people sometimes get complacent about being first to understand and deploy new technology. If you're in San Francisco or Seattle, you're bound to be living a couple years ahead of everyone else, gadget-wise, right? Wrong.
Even though the West Coast has some wireless users groups that have done some impressive work, wireless is really making an impact in New York City, where "business improvement districts" are using access points to improve business in their neighborhoods, and even the phone company is offering access points. NYCwireless is a force to be reckoned with and might give you some ideas for your town. Find out exactly what that beat box on the cover has to do with Linux, and learn about the wireless frenzy sweeping New York City, on page 42.
When Doc's article has you typing "LGA" into your favorite travel site, be sure to pack your favorite Linux PDA or laptop, and bring along a copy of Kismet. Tony Steidler-Dennison shows you how to discover all the wireless resources available to you, on page 58.
Meanwhile, the author of Kismet, Mike Kershaw, explains how to set up your very own access point, with NoCatAuth and a friendly login screen for security, on page 52. If you merely leave your access point open, people might hesitate to use it because they're polite or don't know what your intentions are. Change its name to something with "public" or "open" in it, and put up NoCatAuth so that people can sign in and understand the terms under which they're allowed to use it.
As always, networks are most useful and fun when you can connect them to real-world devices. Tad Truex has a sump pump on the Web, and you can learn to hook up your own electrical appliances on page 38. Remember, safety first, and read the part about not burning your house down.
Often, you need a big directory that handles everyone's information for your business, and the last thing you want is to get locked in to some vendor's idea of how to do it, so naturally you've been reading Mick Bauer's series on OpenLDAP. This month, on page 32, Mick finishes the series. If you're a new subscriber, check out interactive.linuxjournal.com for the previous two articles in the series.
Finally, don't miss the chance to get your Web site onto a content management system (CMS) that helps everyone do his or her job better and release pages to the public at the right time. Reuven Lerner offers Bricolage for your consideration on page 16.
Don Marti is editor in chief of Linux Journal.
Re: From the Editor, September 2003: Wireless Networking
I think it's more interesting to built an ad-hoc mesh network, it could really better than providing free internet access. Just make a wireless lan where EVERYBODY in on the same level, not like master/slave in managed mode. But the problem is to hack an AP to port linux on it and to run the wireless card in ad-hoc mode. I invite you to have a look at http://sixmesh.sf.net
Re: http://sixmesh.sf.net
Appears that the site is down due to the Software Patent protest. I'm glad to see the site supporting the protest - but was interested in the Ad-hoc network.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Strengths: This is a great hydration pack. Very comfortable and light weight. That is until you fill it up, then it gets heavy, which is to be expected. Roomy, I can fit all of my tools/gear in it and still have room left for a light jacket or jersey. 100oz reservoir is very nice and lasts for about a 3 hour ride. I love the magnetic clip that holds the mouthpiece, nice and convenient, and snaps back in place after use. Has a lot of places to store your gear, plus a fleece lined pocket for cell phone, MP3 player, etc.

Bottom Line:
Also, i was worried about the gimmicky magnet clip that attaches the hose to the chest strap. I've been so pleased with it. I can just let the hose fall out of my mouth, and it'll clip back on by itself. Awesome. much easier to clean than a camelback.

Strengths: The reversible bladder design blows all the others away! 3L of water is nice, very rugged, large capacity, armor, works great for hiking, snowboarding, etc. Hydratunes is a great feature for MP3 devices. Pad arrangement keeps the back dry and cool. Plus, it's a no brainer to clean.
Weaknesses: Large capacity means slightly more weight if packed to the max. If packed tight, the bulk may catch low slung branches or bushes, so just be wary if riding through tight areas with a full pack.

Strengths: I truly love this pack over all the Camelback Mules I've owned. I'm so used to cramming all my stuff into a few pockets. This pack is a little bigger than the Mules but thats what I need and it's not to big like the bigger Hawg Camelback. There are several storage compartments and a bungee cord which the new Camelbacks don't have anymore. The bite valve is really nice and the hose has a quick dissconnect from the bag where with the Camelbacks you have to force the hose on and off. The bag also has a velcro full width opening to fill and this allows you to pull the bag inside out after use so it can dry out much better or with a paper towel. I was very sceptical of the velcro opening instead of a cap but if you wrap the velcro up like the instructions say you will be surprised that it does work fine. Also it has a built in pocket for a helmet light battery which I really liked. No more battery working it's way down the pack while riding.
Weaknesses: I really like the hose design but the hose material it's self is very stiff and not flexible enough.

The nostalgia is strong with this one.
Over the weekend, Peter Mayhew, AKA, Chewbacca, the man inside the furriest of fury costumes, began tweeting a bunch of photos from the set of Star Wars. The exciting part for fans? Pretty much no one had ever seen any of them before. For a movie so exhaustively covered in everything from magazines to other movies, the fact that there are any photos out there we haven't seen before was something of a surprise, but they just kept coming. Check out some of the highlights below:
You can see the rest over at Mayhew's super-fun Twitter feed. Amazingly, he claims to still have over a thousand more photos in his archive from the filming of the
original ONLY Star Wars trilogy. What can we expect in the future? Candid shots of the Emperor without his robe? A Post-It note with "Midi-Chlorians??" written on it, then furiously scribbled out and thrown in the trash? An explanation of what the hell was wrong with this dude's head? Who knows? But we're excited to find out.

One-third of American drinkers over age 60 consume excessive amounts of alcohol, are at risk of dangerous interactions between alcohol and medications, or have illnesses that can be exacerbated by drinking, according to researchers at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
A study of 3,308 clinic patients in California found that 34.7 percent of drinkers were considered high-risk, with more than half falling into at least two of the three risk categories. Patients ages 60-64 were twice as likely to be at-risk drinkers than those over age 80, and risk was also higher among drinkers who were more affluent and less educated.
Researchers said the findings could help physicians identify at-risk patients, noting that doctors may be less aware of the problems of drug interactions and comorbidity than they are of heavy drinking among older patients.
The findings were published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine (PDF).

This week in Gina's People, we meet a FOX 11 viewer making a difference in the dog world.
K9 Behaviorist, Bobby Dorafsher is donating his time to train dogs for free. He figures if they're trained, someone will adopt them. The dogs he's chosen to help out were considered nothing but trouble and they were on a list to be euthanized.
Nearly 40,000 dogs and cats are euthanized in the LA area every year. Some people turn in their pets at shelters saying they are simply tired of their dogs. Dorafsher says, "It breaks my heart and I don't understand it. I have a hard time to digest how some people can have a dog for 10 years and not even want him anymore."
Dorafsher owns "K9's Only" a daycare and training center for dogs. He recently started "Pay It Forward K9's Only". He takes in rescues and trains them for 6 weeks. The transformation is amazing and the payoff for Dorafsher is priceless.
He says, "It feels like you won the lotto! You feel you've actually done something. You saved a life."
Gina's People: We want to hear from you! Gina has seen her share of people throughout Southern California – real characters with real stories many making a difference each day with little to no recognition. These are Gina's People, hometown heroes who quietly go about making Southern California and the world a better place for all of us. If you know a person or a group who deserves some recognition, please fill out this form which goes directly to Gina.

Quick Take: Dividend-Paying IPOs
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- TheStreet's Debra Borchardt and Equities.com Research Director Francis Gaskins discussed which dividend-paying companies coming to market soon would be worth the investment.
NRG Yield is expected to trade under the symbol NRG after going public with its planned offering size of $392 million. While Gaskins suggested the financials are a little dicey, the company has some unique prospects -- most notably, a solar plant out in California that was finished in June and is expected to be online in October.
While this should be a significant source of revenue, the 6% payout ratio is what will likely draw investors in. Adding to it, the company expects to raise the dividend 20% by the end of 2014.
Also in California, Rexford Industrial Realty, which is expected to trade under the symbol REXR, is looking to IPO with an offering size of $224 million. With a 3.5% yield, it's about in line with other industrial REITs. However, Gaskins said he is worried about the lack of growth in the industry and because of this he is "neutral" going into the event.Finally, Physicians Realty Trust has a $100 million offering and is in the medical REIT space. The company, which will trade under the symbol DOC, might sound more attractive than it actually is, he said. Gaskins pointed out that by only having 85% of its properties leased, demand isn't all that strong. The federal health insurance plan nicknamed "Obamacare" could eventually force doctors out of their own practices and into hospitals and bigger operations. With its annual and quarterly revenue down 7% and 4%, respectively, Gaskins says he will avoid Physicians Realty Trust. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell

The Fourth of July holiday was barely over when stores had their back-to-school supplies on display, but the most useful and valuable school supply you can get for your child is not to be found on those shelves. A library card and regular trips to the library will improve your child's education more than the big box of crayons, 5 stretchy book covers, and a 6 section Trapper Keeper notebook combined.
Read more
September is Library Card Sign-Up Month. Back in 1987, then Secretary of Education, William J. Bennett launched this observance when he issued the challenge, "Let's have a national campaign…every child should obtain a library card – and use it." Actually, many children using the Colbern Road Branch are already library card holders and are being taught the responsibility that goes along with the privilege. But, a library card isn't just for children.
Ok, it's time for multiple choice! Which of the following cards do we accept at the Mid-Continent Public Library to check out books and log on to the internet computers?
A. Kansas City Public Library card
B. Johnson County Library card
C. Mid-Continent Public Library card
D. Driver's license
Have you lost your library card? Has it been washed away by the sea, carried off by a giant bird, dropped in a geyser at Yellowstone, eaten by your dog? Has your key to knowledge gone missing? Don't worry! All you need is 50 cents, and you're on your way to a replacement card. Just visit your local branch and your problem is solved. Your friendly neighborhood librarian can set you up with a shiny new card, and get you on your way to using all the resources we have to offer.
Did you know that the month of September is National Library card month? Let's celebrate by getting the word out. Having a MCPL card is like taking the library home with you.
Did you know that September is Library Card Sign-Up Month? It's the perfect time to come in to your local branch and get your very own shiny, new library card.
Where is that card?
Most of us have a grocery store card, bank card, insurance card, or a credit card, but who has a library card!? You may be thinking "What do I need a library card for?" A library card can be quite useful, and there are no charges or hidden fees.
What can your Library card do for you? Our MCPL branches are more than just buildings with books. Take a look at 10 fantastic ways to use your Library card. Your Library card can help you "check out" what you may be missing!
September is Library Card Sign-Up Month, and to celebrate, MCPL staff wants to encourage you to come in and get a library card. Since a library card is the most important school supply of all, we have been making an extra effort to ensure that parents and students have a chance to get one.
One day, not too terribly long ago, I took one of my daughters to lunch. We had a great meal and excellent service. When it came time to pay, I discovered that I did not have any form of payment in my purse. I quickly realized that I had left my credit/debit card in the pocket of a pair of pants I had worn the day before. Thankfully, the manager was very sympathetic and allowed me to drive home to retrieve a form of payment, and I didn't have to wash any dishes.

Everyone should watch this.
seriously the cutest thing ever <3
Photo Courtesy: d0ctorfaggot
FACT: your pupils dilate when you see the person you are attracted to. Because the nervous system controls the muscles of the irises, the response of the nervous system to different stimuli results in involuntary pupil dilation. Another commonly cited reason the pupils dilate is in response to excitement or sexual arousal. When a person sees something or someone they find very attractive, their eyes may dilate.
'When I was with him, I didn't have to be perfect, or even try for perfect. He already knew my secrets, the things I'd kept hidden from everyone else, so I could just be myself. Which shouldn't have been that big a deal. But it was.'—-
One of my favorite books. Ever.

Halloween Costume Confusion
My boy keeps saying he wants to be a ghost for Halloween. No, a Ninja, No, a Skeleton. Or maybe Batman. So we went to Wal-Mart yesterday to look at the costumes. I'm thinking he will be inspired and pick the one he wants. I showed him the skeleton costume and he was scared of it (haha!) After a while of holding up every costume on the rack, he still couldn't decide. We went to leave that aisle, we come around the corner and he spots this cool stuffed dinosaur costume where it looks like you are riding the dinosaur? And that was the one he fell
I love Halloween!!!!

Dr. Craig C. Krause's Ratings
Dr. Krause is a wonderful doctor. Very caring & easy going & takes the time to listen & never rushes you. He is very intelligent in all fields of medicine. Many times Dr. Krause has explained my lab results from my other Dr.s who didn't take time to explain them. I highly recommend Dr. Krause. I would love to have Dr. Krause as my primary care doctor, my dentist, etc! Also, his office manager, Ashley is great! She goes above & beyond for his patients. If ever you have a problem with a medication & your insurance company she will take care of it.

It can be very hard to admit that you need to see a Psychiatrist. You need not worry with Dr.Krause. He is very easy to talk to & very compassionate. He never rushes you & makes you feel very comfortable as well as important. Dr. Krause is extremely knowledgeable not just about psychiatric issues, but about medications as well...ALL medications. Therefore he knows what medications might cause certain side effects & which psychiatric medications will work best with whatever other medications you are on, as well as what medical conditions you might have. I highy recommend Dr. Krause!

Movie News
A new Hobbit Production Diary is out! They've recast Legolas!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. A new production diary has surfaced! It's about time! But I'm one to talk... I don't know when I'll have my next set report up, but I got a few more to go before I'm done, that's for sure.
And I may or may not be staying in the Northern Hemisphere in the immediate future, but I can say no more on that.
What I can say is that the new production diary gives you a feel for Stone Street Studios and the fantastic cast and crew of the production.
They also reveal that a new Legolas has been cast. I guess Orlando Bloom just didn't look right in the make up this far removed from Rings. Bummer, but I gotta say I'm kind of excited to see this new person in the role... but I'll let you see it for yourself.

Legolas was in Mirkwood at the time Bilbo and the Dwarves come through. Additionally, his dad, Thranduil, is a character in the book, so it's really not that much of a stretch to sneak him in. He was presumably at the Battle of Five Armies as well.
June 6, 2012, 4:20 a.m. CST

It's because Elves have diff. growth squirts to normal humans in their thousand year life cycles
by even9
It's talked about abit in one of the appendixs i believe, they don't really hit their straps until at least 500 years then it's boom all at once. That's why there's always been friction between the elves and the dwarves, the dwarves look down on the elves once they reach maturation.

Let's also laugh at the fools complaining about Legolas being in the movie
by HollyW00d
We have no idea what surprises Peter Jackson has in store for us. For all we know Legolas is in the beginning or end of the film as the Hobbit is a flashback told from older Bilbo's perspective. Legolas could be in the present. And if not, who cares it will be great to see the LotR characters again. Bunch of whiny nerds

Remove Legolas entirely then
by Phimseto
Yes, they've recast Bilbo, but elves are a different breed. We've seen both Galadriel and Elrond look the same thousands of years ago. Either do what it takes to make Bloom look the part, or remove the appearance altogether. Recasting is stupid.

Working hard to keep spirits up
by Dreamfasting
I sometimes wonder if these quick video credits are for the benefit of teasing the audience or to help keep moral up around the set during the long slog between effort and outcome. Either way, they are greatly appreciated.

cozycozy, it makes perfect sense to put Legolas in the Hobbit movie.
by frank
They go to his home and his dad is a major character in the story. He could easily have been there as well. The Hobbit story needs to be expanded for the movies, and it is totally natural to have Legolas involved. I'm less enthusiastic about Evangeline Lily's invented character, but I will withhold judgement on her until I see the film. Also, I was only fooled for about a second by the headline before realizing that it must be a clever jape by Ser Jackson.

Legolas in the Hobbit
by Dreamfasting
Tolkien may not have created the character of Legolas until Lord of the Rings, but he was clearly there as a continuity nod to the events of the Hobbit, and the importance of the wood elves in that story. As such, it makes far more sense to include him than to exclude him.
June 6, 2012, 11:10 a.m. CST
So scared this is going to look like ass...
by alxorange
Because of the 48fps. I don't want the Hobbit to look like a fucking soap opera.

The ending to that video was hilarious.

Wonder if Bloom was really doing all the camerawork?
June 6, 2012, 11:16 a.m. CST
You can always watch it in 2D at 24fps.

That is my plan for the first viewing so I can focus on the story and not be distracted. Then I will give the 3D/48fps a try.

Whether you're a Bloom fan or not, recasting SUCKS. WHY?! Fuck. It doesn't ruin the movie for me or anything, but NO!!! Dammit! Recasting just blows hard. Bummer news.

"There's no Legolas, there's no Galadriel ..." Blah blah blah ... They're makin' two films, there's PLENTY of room for them ...
by Vince Ricardo
... in The Hobbit. Heck, there's no Saruman, either, in the book. It's great that, since they have the time, they're adding what's barely mentioned in the book to the movie. Heck, in the book the Battle of Five Armies lasts a couple of paragraphs, would you want it to be just a couple of seconds in the film? Should everything adhere to the book? The Hobbit is my all-time favorite book, and if they want to change or add some things that make it better, I have no problems at all with it. It ain't gonna ruin my childhood. Get over it, already. Great new Legolas! I love seein' the dwarves' doubles. Hilarious!

Commenting on a video without watching it...
by Christian
... is moronic. I mean REALLY stupid. Borderline retarded. It's the kind of behavior that makes you wish that there should be some kind of drivers license to use a computer with internet-connection. Some way of removing the too-stupid-to-be-allowed-on-the-internet crowd. Commenting on a video without watching it is like reviewing a book without having read it. And using the excuse "the video doesn't work" is like saying "well, the library didn't have the book". Sure, that could happen but then please don't comment on it's content.

To all those so proudly proclaiming "suckers"
by glenn_the_frog
or thinking people are idiots for not watching the video before commenting (which can't be done from some machines or while at work)... The NEWS that was REPORTED in the article summary, is what's being commented on. Its not like the Muppets romantic comedy trailer fake out where the intent is to fool you and you're supposed to play along... it was a cute quick comedy bit at the end of a 15 minute video... that was then reported as news. If there's an interview with a writer or director you like, and it takes an hour to listen to, or five minutes to read, reading it or the highlights is preferable. I there's a ton of news coming from a convention like comicon or E3, you can't watch videotaped version of all 5 days of simultaneous panels, and take 225 hours just to get a news update that takes 10 seconds from a recap write up. People are trusting the recap on this one, rather than the longer, sometimes unwatchable source. Particularly considering Bloom was supposedly getting a cool million to do a 2 minute cameo, it was incredibly easy to believe a suit would think better and recast him.
June 6, 2012, 3:46 p.m. CST
If it had been real, Quint would have presented the news differently.
by frank
It was obvious from reading the last few sentences of Quint's introduction that it was some sort of joke in the video blog.

I don't recall him being in the book.
June 6, 2012, 4:42 p.m. CST
It will be good seeing Legolas's hatred for Dwarves here
by performingmonkey
I'm guessing we'll get him spitting a line like 'I would never fight alongside a Dwarf!' then we see him kicking ass with Gimli in LOTR. It makes plenty of sense for him to feature here. If not, the question of where he was when all his people were going to war would be on people's minds. It's okay in the book because Tolkien hadn't invented him yet. So even though it was never explicitly stated, it's a fact that Legolas, as the son of Tharanduil, King of the Elves of Mirkwood, was involved in the events of The Hobbit.
June 6, 2012, 4:42 p.m. CST
OMFG guys, watch the damn video!!!!

The Silmarillion
by Barron34
I am an old-school Tolkein fan, grew up on the books, and am thrilled to see the Hobbit made into two films. They can't make them and release them soon enough for me. Jackson's Lord of the Rings films are a tour-de-force. The books will always be most important to me, and there are a few choices Jackson made that I would have differed with, but they're quibbles compared with the final product. For so long it was felt that the books were unfilmable, and Jackson made a Trilogy that did what seemed impossible. He did justice to Tolkien's work, and made a monument of modern filmmaking. That said, I wonder if The Hobbit films do very well (they certainly should), if Jackson and Company would ever go back to the well again and use The Silmarillion and other Tolkein works as basis for any future films. The completion of the Mythology of Middle-Earth on film could be ever more amazing. There is a lot of epic material in The Silmarillion that would be difficult to make into films, but I am confident that Jackson could fashion the material into something every fan would want to see.
June 8, 2012, 12:29 p.m. CST
Agree with you 100% barron34...
by Michael Tyree
As for the Silmarillion, I've always thought the Tale of Beren and Luthien alone would make an absolutely killer movie. Sauron as the werewolf of Tol Sirion and L&B paying ol Morgoth a visit in Thangorodrim to steal a Silmaril from the Iron Crown. Dang, I gets goosey-bumps just thinking about visualizing that in a movie! Unfortunately, Tolkien never sold any movie rights to any of his works except for the Hobbit and LotR. Perhaps after Christopher T. has passed, the estate will sell movie rights to the Silmarillion. ANYBODY but Saul Zantz though.

Written and directed by New Zealander Roger Donaldson, and starring Oscar-winning Sir Anthony Hopkins, The World's Fastest Indian is a home-grown film production that puts New Zealand in centre-screen.
The World's Fastest Indian is one of a growing number of high-profile films shot in New Zealand, and directed by top Hollywood-based New Zealanders.
As more overseas films are made in New Zealand, but more New Zealand stories are being told and striking a chord with international audiences.
Burt Munro
In The World's Fastest Indian, Anthony Hopkins plays the true story of New Zealander Burt Munro, a man who never let the dreams of youth fade.
After a lifetime perfecting his classic 1920 Indian motorcycle, Munro sets off from New Zealand to test his bike at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.
With all odds against him, Munro wins support from unusual allies in his quest to set a new speed record.
Burt Munro's 1967 world record remains unbroken and his legend lives on today.
Successful Hollywood career
Roger Donaldson and his production partner Gary Hannam returned to New Zealand to make the film.
The World's Fastest Indian was Donaldson's first New Zealand-made film, since he had embarked on a successful Hollywood career 20 years earlier.
This project was also the culmination of a dream that Donaldson had held for more than 30 years. As a young filmmaker in the 1970s, he had worked on a documentary about Burt Munro, called Offerings to the God of Speed.
Inspired by the Invercargill speedster, he wrote the original film script of The World's Fastest Indian in 1981.
The script is based on Burt Munro's journeys to Bonneville during the 1960's. It follows the road to fulfilling a dream - and the magic in the true story of a man who believed:
"If it's hard, work harder; if it's impossible, work harder still. Give it whatever it takes, but do it."
Burt's story
Donaldson had been intrigued by Burt's story for many years.
"Some would say my obsession with this film matches Burt's obsession with his bike," he said.
Determined not to compromise his vision of the story, Donaldon finally made the film as intended.
"One thing about New Zealand is that if you are determined to do something, this is a country where things can happen.
"You don't get held back by bureaucracy or people having a preconceived idea of what a film-maker is, or what sort of training you should have, or if you've got the wherewithal to go out and do it. This is a country that's always been very sympathetic to the 'go, do it' mentality."
"Munro set about getting the world's fastest motorcycle in a typically New Zealand way," said Donaldson.
Sir Anthony Hopkins
Sir Anthony Hopkins, voted Britain's finest actor, played the eccentric and lovable character of Burt Munro.
Hopkins described Donaldson as a great director, and a perfectionist.
The World's Fastest Indian was a fine script and the crew was the best he had worked with in years, Hopkins said.
He had greatly enjoyed his time in New Zealand - "It is the best thing I've done - the best experience I've had."
Aaron Murphy
Young New Zealand actor Aaron Murphy played Munro's next door neighbour, Tom.
Only 13-years-old at the time of filming, Murphy - from Warkworth in the North Island - had already starred in four New Zealand productions to great acclaim.
As well as being shot in Salt Lake City, Utah much of The World's Fastest Indian was filmed in and around Southland, the most southerly region of New Zealand.
Spectacular Oreti Beach, with its broad expanse of white sand, features in the New Zealand speed scenes.
Producer Gary Hannam described Invercargill - NZ's most southern city - as a great base for a film.
"Having excellent industries there, like engineering, was just as important as having the right scenery. We could have filmed this movie anywhere, but we wanted to do it in Invercargill, where Burt Munro was from. The locals were incredibly cooperative and enthusiastic, and the quality of the extras was wonderful."
Invercargill's colourful mayor, Tim Shadbolt, who took a role in the film said the post-film tourism opportunities would be huge for the region.
"This gives us the opportunity to promote Invercargill and its Southland region throughout the world."

Drivers education. For many- this consisted of a short course in high school and a quick read through the DMV handbook prior to taking the exam. The lessons learned deal more with rules of the road rather than driver's etiquette and common sense. Recent trips to my local gas station has made it abundantly clear that not only have drivers forgotten the rules of the road but they also lack basic common curtsey and at times, rational thought.
Quick review: Driver's etiquette consists of actions or behaviors regarding practices among members of a community. Proprieties of conduct involve such things as not speeding up and letting in a car in front of you when they have their blinker on etc. Courtesy should also be extended off the road. Such as in parking lots. People: when your car is parked and you are dawdling inside, and another car is waiting for your spot, give some signal that you are not leaving. Don't leave the poor guy to wait there for 20 minutes clogging up the aisle and teeing off all the other drivers behind them.Drivers etiquette became an issue for me while driving the long-term Bmw 335d. A stealthy diesel that neither sounds like one or is demarcated clearly as such. Small variances from the normal fuel-powered 335 lie in a tiny d instead of i and a small urea flap – mostly ones that will remain unnoticeable by the normal driver. Most gas stations do not have a dedicated diesel pump. In fact, these elusive green handles are usually in a shared tank with the regular and premium fuels. Invariably, when I need to fill up (a relatively rare occasion) I will pull into a nearly deserted gas station and of course the only two stations are occupied by people filling up a non-diesel car. As I wait patiently behind them, they will usually stand and stare at me with either a blank face or with a dirty look and probably wonder why I can just go and fill up at any one of the other empty stations. Without rolling down the window and yelling at them 'I have a diesel you idiot!' I just have to wait, seething and stewing, as they finish fueling, take 10 minutes to fiddle with something inside and then decide to clean out their trunk or spend 15 minutes washing their windshield.The lesson in etiquette to be learned today is that if you do not own a diesel car please be aware that others do and use a different pump if one is available. While a complete list of rules of automotive conduct (RAC) will be too long, here are just some of the infractions I have noticed today. 1.) When another driver has their blinker on and wants to merge into your lane, do not speed up. Unless of course they are blowing noxius fumes from the tail pipe, have crap hanging or tied precariously to the back, or are a slowing moving Prius. 2.) At the gas station, know what side your gas tank is on and use the appropriate pump – do not try and yank the hose over the roof of your car to try to fit the nozzle in. 3.) When a car purposely parks in the very far corner of a parking lot to avoid others cars, do not park 2 inches from their car especially when the parking lot isn't full 4.) The Fast lane is not for cruising – if you are not going faster than the car to the right of you, get out of the fast lane 5.) If you are not exiting or just entering the freeway – do not drive in the right-hand lane, and especially don't drive continuously in the right-most lane at 45 mph (take the streets) 6.) Don't bright me because your headlights suck, it's called xenon- get used to it

The vulva is the external portion of the female genital organs. It includes:
Labia majora. Two large, fleshy lips, or folds of skin.
Labia minora. Small lips just inside the labia majora and surround the openings to the urethra and vagina.
Vestibule. Space where the vagina opens.
Prepuce. A fold of skin formed by the labia minora that covers the clitoris.
Clitoris. A small protrusion of nerve tissue sensitive to stimulation.
Fourchette. Area beneath the vaginal opening where the labia minora meet.
Perineum. Area between the vagina and the anus.
Anus. Opening at the end of the anal canal.
Urethra. Connecting tube to the bladder.
Vulvar cancer can occur on any part of the external organs, but most often affects the labia majora or labia minora. According to the American Cancer Society, about 4,850 cases of cancer of the vulva will be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2014. Cancer of the vulva is a rare disease, which accounts for 0.6% of all cancers in women, and may form slowly over many years. Most vulvar cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. Melanoma is another common type of vulvar cancer, usually found in the labia minora or clitoris. Other types of vulvar cancer include:
Paget disease
Basal cell carcinoma
The following have been suggested as risk factors for vulvar cancer:
Age. Of the women who develop vulvar cancer, over 80% are over age 50, and half are over age 70.
Infection with certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV)
HIV infection
Lichen sclerosus. This can cause the vulvar skin to become very itchy and may slightly increase the possibility of vulvar cancer.
Melanoma or atypical moles on nonvulvar skin. A family history of melanoma and dysplastic nevi anywhere on the body may increase the risk of vulvar cancer.
Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN). There is an increased risk for vulvar cancer in women with VIN, although most cases do not progress to cancer.
Other genital cancers
While each woman may experience symptoms differently, the most common symptoms are:
Constant itching
Changes in the color and the way the vulva looks
Bleeding or discharge not related to menstruation
Severe burning, itching, or pain
An open sore that lasts for more than a month
Skin of the vulva looks white and feels rough
The symptoms of vulvar cancer may look like other conditions or medical problems. Consult a doctor for diagnosis.
The cause of vulvar cancer is not known at this time, however, certain risk factors are thought to contribute to development of the disease. Suggestions for prevention include:
Avoid known risk factors when possible
Delay onset of sexual activity
Use condoms
Do not smoke
Have regular physical checkups
Get vaccinated against HPV
Have routine Pap tests and pelvic exams
Routinely check entire body for irregular growth of moles and check your vulva regularly for any signs of vulvar cancer
Vulvar cancer is diagnosed by biopsy, removing a small piece of tissue for exam in a lab by a pathologist.
Specific treatment for vulvar cancer will be determined by your doctor(s) based on:
Your overall health and medical history
Extent of the disease
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
Treatment for cancer of the vulva may include:
Laser surgery. Use of a powerful beam of light to destroy abnormal cells. The beam can be directed to specific parts of the body without making a large incision (cut). This type of therapy is only used for premalignant (noninvasive) disease of the vulva.
Excision. The cancer cells and a margin of normal tissue around the cancer is removed.
Vulvectomy. Surgical removal of part of all of the tissues of the vulvar. The extent of the tissue removed is based on the size and location of the lesion.
Radiation therapy
It's very important that your particular findings be put into context by an expert. Gynecologic oncologists are subspecialists with advanced training in the diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of female cancers including vulvar cancer.

The Correlation Between IE And Murder Plus Other Leftover Links
I've seen some pretty funny Internet Explorer stats over the years but this one I found courtesy of a friend on Google+ definitely leads the list.
However the most jaw dropping bit of news that should make any geek go holy crap has to the to sale price of the original Batmobile at the recent Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction. I mean $4.2 million gets you a whole lot of Bam And Pow.

In addition to its current place in world affairs, China has always cast a spell over the west.
To celebrate Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month, Belle Isle Library, 5501 N. Villa, is presenting Tao Ling with a free program that highlights various aspects of Chinese culture on Saturday, May 19, beginning at 2:00p.m. The session features a demonstration, with audience participation, of Tai Chi Quan, a performance of a Tai Chi Fan dance, and a demonstration of the intricacies of Chinese calligraphy.
"I think what I'm looking forward to the most," said librarian Ann Meeks, "is that Tao Ling will be teaching us a few words in Chinese, which has always seemed to me to be a fascinating language. But it'll all be exotic to me."

Retreating to Elemental Coastal Luxury in Santa Monica, California
The ocean may be a few blocks away, but its presence is felt throughout the Huntley Hotel—a boutique property that weaves elemental touches and modern amenities into an incomparable luxury retreat. Enter the gorgeous lobby and look closer at the school of white "piranhas" on one wall, while natural wood chairs, African daybeds, and drum tables offer stylish lounging. Your room faces north to Malibu or towards the South Bay, while the light palette and global accents evoke ocean breezes from around the world. Take the glass elevator to the Penthouse and enjoy panoramic coastal views at the bar, or dine in a banquette with the curtains drawn for an intimate beach-side cabana experience on the 18th floor.
