If it was affordable to make the diffs, remember the brushless revo forum - Diffs are the weakest point by far in that drivetrain.
That's why I want to invest in heavy duty gears
wahoo 100mph summit lol
nope, that's absolutely not my objective, the target is around 30-35mph, not more, and without compromising the low speed performance of the truck. As a proof of that, I have 11/13/14/15T pinions and 68/65/60 spurs ''only'', I mean I'm not planning to reach crazy top speed, but I'm planning to stress the diffs and driveshafts a lot when crawling with a high torque motor and servo.
i hear you there scaniris but ya making the summit more capable .also being able to be a crawler and have a good amount of speed with no wories
i bought the diffs off mikey and i see it being cheaper buying the new diff upgrades than to convert to revo diffs
I was just browsing around and stumbled upon this and thought of you.. I would love to hear your reports on these..
custom summit crawler parts lol

Hi Scaniris, when you bolted on the summit bottom skid plate did you strike any problems with the strength of the spacer bolts? As when I was tightening one the thread snapped off in the chassis and I tell ya I want impressed. Plus my skid plate was not level either.
Hello my name is Matt and addicted to Traxxas.
About Bocabearing.... buying the full kit is IMO a crazy thing. Maybe for some bearings... but of course not for all of them! I chose the Kanzen kit, around 60, and if some bearings break, I'll probably buy some Boca, but NOT the Ceramic Orange Seal Abec 7 Off road... why would I need such a low tolerance for a truck like the Summit? No... I'll probably hesitate between the Green sealed standard and the Yellow sealed ceramic. I think that Jamann's way of doing sound very relevant. Inner and outer wheel bearings, inner and outer pinion bearings and trany bearings.
Then: I removed the diagram from the post number 119, because I made a newer version, to summarize what I'll upgrade into the differentials:
It's done, I've ordered by Truckmonster 2x additional aluminium diff cups to built two additional aluminium diffs (already have 2 as you know), but that time... with hand made hardened steel gears It will take 4-5 weeks to make them, and 2-4 weeks for hardening. It is not molded of course, but hand made, milled from high quality steel, and hardened professionally.
So in 6 to 9 weeks, I'll be able to see if there is any benefit of buying expensive hand made hardened steel gears over having ''only'' aluminium diff cups with molded iron original Traxxas gears.
Of course I'll give my feed back with photos and videos. Be aware that the gears are built to order and not standard parts. And I don't know if the return of investment is as good as for the aluminium diff cups. Not many reports of broken gears with aluminium diff cups... lots of reports of broken gears with stock plastic cups (also because only few people have aluminium diff cups... of course).
http://traxxas.com/forums/showthread...=1#post4994980 ?
Because LaTufu and another guy reported the weakness of the aluminium spacers, I decided to buy some steel spacers in a local hardware store, and longer screws to fix the skid plate on the chassis with heavy duty parts, and avoid the same problem as LaTufu described with a photography.
$575! For bearings? Holy crap.
Maybe the mars rover needs a whole set of those babies, I just replaced the few that seemed to me,in my situation,the ones that I had issues with. It was still pricey. Haven't had any issues with wheel bearings for some time now.or pinion bearings.

Anyone try Acer ceramic bearings? They are about $89.99.
I ordered this kit for about $100 and bought some bearing oil lube too:
CTR020 - Traxxas Summit Ceramic Bearing Kit (Acer Racing)
The look cool, bought a stainless screw set as well from rcscrewz.
Both haven't see more of the world than my garage but they feel better
I'm very disappointed with the stainless rcscrewz. Real stainless is not magnetic.. And they strip fairly easy.
My next solution is Lunsford titanium screws.
custom summit crawler parts lol
Into one of my videos, I said I was also disappointed with RCScrews because of missing screws (lot of screws are missing, this is not a complete set for Summit, what they say is not true) and also because of the packaging. The Tony's Screws are superior into my opinion, small plastic packets with description of screws (size and type), it's so easy to find the screw you need!
Stainless steel is magnetic. It just depends on the type and how much nickel it has in it. Those screws were probably made of 300 series stainless which is food and medical grade and is softer then say 400 series. The good thing about 300 is that it is very rust resistant. And yes stainless steel can rust.
I really should be working.
Sorry I've worked at a scrap yard for a while and have just come acustomed to calling the quality stuff real stainless..
Yea the rcscrewz didn't have all the screws and had screws you don't need oh and the lengths arnt precise.
I'll have to try Tonys Screws.
custom summit crawler parts lol
about the stailess steel it isn't saposed to rust. i have got screws from spanure(i think its the companie) but when i got them i ordered sockect head wich is a hex size bigger than the stock button head and so far no stripping
About screws kits. I ordered a kit from hexcrews.com (shhh... don't tell it was for my savage) and their kit was very good. All 12.9 grade hardware and they also have stainless screws that they label as armor plated.

I have a set of tony's screws or as the stickers say "i got screwed by tony's screws "love that makes me smile every time.
happy with them? yes would i buy them again? yes.I read a bunch of reports of people not being satisfied with rcscrewz.I have never used them so i can't say for sure.When i read that many negetives about something...Thats a sign to me
Maybe they should use tony's slogan....I try to do research on the products im looking at...It's your responsibility.It is your hard earned money you are spending.

Amazing thread for anyone planning to get a Summit or that already has one, awesome man.
About the painting, all you 'need' is some Frogtape and that Bob Dively film. I only used the Frogtape on my first paintjob, and just regular masking tape for anything that didn't need a perfect seal (as it's cheaper, but I paint right now for a living so I get the stuff free off my worktruck ). There are also masking kits for things like flames and other stencil type designs so you can do it yourself.
Thanks again for putting all the time and effort into this, I know if I do end up choosing the Summit this thread will be a humongous help.

i used frog tape.. it works really well.. and i used blue scotch tape for different layers.. all you need is a knife, tape and patience.

Tonys is about $10 cheaper than Hex, do you think there's enough of a difference to go for the more expensive set? I know you get what you pay for (learned my lesson with dynamite set for my p2de) but there's also a line of quality/value that one needn't cross unnecessarily.

Silver Spring High School Students Wins D.C.-Area B'nai B'rith Diverse Minds Youth Writing Challenge
Book Writing Contest Focused on Tolerance and Diversity
D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray Served As a Judge
The winner of this year's Diverse Minds Youth Writing Challenge is "Pepper the Porcupine and the Big Parade" written by Jourdan Lewanda and illustrated by Andrew Latona, both graduating seniors at James Hubert Blake High School in Silver Spring, Md. Diverse Minds is a contest where high school students write and illustrate children's books to help elementary school children celebrate tolerance and diversity. The winning book was announced the evening of June 6 at the PEPCO Edison Place Gallery.
"It's an honor to continue Diverse Minds into its 7th year and to see all of the great things that come out of this program," B'nai B'rith International President Allan J. Jacobs said. "The work these kids do is outstanding and I never tire of seeing the positive impact that comes from distributing these books in the community."
In Lewanda and Latona's story "Pepper the Porcupine and the Big Parade," Pepper the porcupine wants to participate in his town's parade band, but doesn't have much talent for playing an instrument. After searching for his place to fit in, he finds his unique talent as the band leader.
Pepco Holdings President and CEO Joseph Rigby, who served as a judge, told the finalists how impressed he was with their efforts and noted how important their messages of tolerance are: "The notion of diversity is one of our five values."
"As a judge of this contest, every year I'm more and more amazed at the stories and illustrations that we receive," said B'nai B'rith International Executive Vice President Daniel S. Mariaschin, who served as a judge and presented the award to the winners. "It's encouraging, and also refreshing, to see today's youth committed to making a change in the world and helping younger generations celebrate acceptance of others."
The winners earn a $5,000 college scholarship and their book has been professionally published. In the coming weeks, it will be distributed to local schools and libraries. It will also be published in an e-book format, available for free download.
Sybille Jagusch, chief of the Children's Literature Center at the Library of Congress and also a contest judge, addressed the finalists, offering practical advice and a plea:. "Consider making more books!" Other tips she offered all of the finalists who may be considering writing careers: "Your story should have feelings," as well as "let your heart speak."
Lewanda, the winning book's author, is a distinguished student, excelling both academically and artistically. She earned the AP Scholar with Distinction award from the College Board, as well as various recognitions for her work as an actress, including the Superintendent's Award for Theatre from Montgomery County Public Schools, and the Award of Excellence in the Arts from the National Society of Arts and Letters and the Kennedy Center. When she begins college in the fall, she hopes to pursue musical theatre or acting, along with a minor in English.
Latona, the winning book's illustrator, is also an excellent student, thriving in AP English, art and music classes. He is the leader of the Eubie Blake Jazz Quintet and also serves as a captain of his school's swim team. Latona has always enjoyed drawing and painting, and he hopes to pursue those passions in the future.
Second place winners David Ng and Kayla Trinh from Damascus High School in Damascus, Md., wrote and illustrated "Birds in Blue" and will receive a $2,000 scholarship. Third place winners Chala A. M. Tshitundu and Rebecca H. Hamilton-Levi, from Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, wrote and illustrated "Everyone is Royal" and will receive a $1,000 scholarship. In addition, Lewanda and Latona's teacher Amy Branson, who oversaw the creation of their winning book, will receive a $500 stipend to use for classroom or organizational materials. James Hubert Blake High School will receive a $500 grant.
The 10 finalists in the contest hailed from cities all across the region including students from Chevy Chase, Clarksburg, Damascus, North Potomac, Olney and Silver Spring in Maryland, as well as Arlington, Va., and Washington, D.C.
This education and awareness initiative was created in conjunction with B'nai B'rith programs that promote tolerance and communicate a message of equality among all citizens. The contest aims to enlighten, inspire and educate America's young people and their families in an effort to abolish prejudices and strengthen ties among today's youth.
A diverse panel of judges from the Washington, D.C. worlds of education, the arts, business and government, along with B'nai B'rith International leaders, reviewed the submissions and selected the finalists and winner. The judges include District of Columbia Mayor Vincent C. Gray, Pepco Holdings President and CEO Joseph Rigby and Sybille Jagusch, chief of the Children's Literature Center at the Library of Congress,. B'nai B'rith is pleased to work in partnership with PEPCO for the 2012-2013 Diverse Minds Youth Writing Challenge.

Volgograd (vôlgəgrät´), formerly Stalingrad, city (1989 pop. 999,000), capital of Volgograd region, SE European Russia, a port on the Volga River and the eastern terminus of the Volga-Don Canal. As a transshipment point, the port handles oil, coal, ore, lumber, and fish. Volgograd is also a major rail center, with connections to Moscow, the Donets Basin, the Caucasus, and SW Siberia. A large hydroelectric dam stands on the Volga just above the city. A center of heavy industry, Volgograd has shipyards, oil refineries, steel and aluminum mills, and tank, tractor, cable, machinery, and chemical factories. Other industries include food processing, flour milling, distilling, sawmilling, tanning, and the manufacture of farm and oil-field equipment.
Founded in 1589 as a stronghold to defend Russia's newly acquired land along the Volga, the city was originally called Tsaritsyn. It fell to the Cossack rebels under Stenka Razin in 1670 and Yemelyan Pugachev in 1774. In the 19th cent. it became an important commercial center. During the Russian civil war the city was defended (1918) by Soviet forces under Stalin, Voroshilov, and Budenny, but White troops under Denikin took it in 1919–20. The city was renamed Stalingrad in 1925, then Volgograd in 1961, following Nikita Khrushchev's denunciations of Stalin's dictatorship.
During World War II, the city was nearly destroyed in a battle that marked a major turning point in the war and a landmark in military history. In Sept., 1942, a German army exceeding 500,000 men (including Italians, Hungarians, and Romanians) and commanded by Gen. Friedrich von Paulus began an all-out attack on Stalingrad, which was defended by 16 Soviet divisions under Gen. Vasily I. Chuikov. Stalin ordered that the city be held at all costs. After two months of house-to-house fighting, the Germans had taken most of the city, but the Soviet garrison, receiving supplies across the Volga, held out, thus giving Gen. Georgi Zhukov time to prepare a counteroffensive.
Hitler reaffirmed his intention to take Stalingrad, despite great losses and lack of reserves. He refused, against his general staff's advice, to allow Paulus to withdraw. In Nov., 1942, two Soviet forces, advancing from the north and south in a pincers movement, encircled the Germans. In December a German relief force was routed. Paulus surrendered the remnants of his army on Feb. 2, 1943. The combined German and Soviet losses during the battle were staggering—the Germans alone suffered approximately 300,000 casualties. The Soviets followed up with a westward drive and generally remained on the offensive for the remainder of the war. Rebuilding began immediately after the city's liberation.
See A. Beevor, Stalingrad (1998).

Pale Saints Biography
Ethereal pop band the Pale Saints formed in Leeds, England, in 1987. Ian Masters (ba**/vocals), Chris Cooper (drums), and Graeme Naysmith (guitar) were signed by Ivo Watts-Russell to his 4AD label on the strength of their first London appearance. The three-song Barging Into the Presence of God was released two years later, receiving praise for it's lead track, the melancholy "Sight of You" (which was later covered by Oxford's Ride for a radio session). In 1990, the debut LP The Comforts of Madness appeared in the bins, produced separately by Gil Norton (Echo & the Bunnymen, Pixies) and John Fryer (Cocteau Twins, Depeche Mode). Categorized within the current shoegaze scene with My Bloody Valentine and Lush, the billowy Comforts of Madness had just about all the features of the sub-genre, as well as a bizarre experimental bent. Masters' boyish vocals also stood out, not needing any production treatments to carry a wispy, levitational quality. br /br /Meriel Barham, who was thanked for guitars and vocals on 1990's Half Life single, joined as a full member by the end of the year. Barham had been Lush's original vocalist (when they were calling themselves the Babymakers), recording a demo that was viewed as awful by all parties involved. The Pale Saints had been performing with a second guitarist, but wanted a permanent fourth member. Lush's Miki Berenyi suggested Barham to the band, and they obliged. br /br /Ace producer Hugh Jones leant his sk**s for 1992's In Ribbons. Yet another Bunnymen a**ociate (the Pale Saints were obviously big fans of them, though you wouldn't know from their recordings), Jones captured a power and liveliness that Norton and Fryer didn't provide. Stronger musically and sound-wise, In Ribbons was another excellent album, though it sacrificed some of the band's original charms and quirks in favor of more pop accessibility. This and a growing disdain for touring led to Masters' departure in 1993. The remaining members replaced him with session hand and former Heart Throbs ba**ist Colleen Browne. br /br /Many were surprised that the band continued, especially under the same name; mainly due to Masters' twists on facts and fun with the press, the Pale Saints were considered his band. Interviews with the later lineup would reveal that the band was more of a democratic process than originally perceived. Obviously -- why would Masters leave a band that he had control over to gain more control? Continuing their allegiance with Hugh Jones, 1994's Slow Buildings ended up being the band's final album. Lacking from the absence of Masters, the album also lacked focus. After touring, the band called it quits prior to 1997. br /br /The eccentric Masters continued to work under a vast array of guises, most notably paring up with AC Temple's Chris Trout for Spoonfed Hybrid and His Name Is Alive's Warren Defever for the lovely ESP Summer. Cooper and Naysmith continued with Lorimer, and Browne resumed her utility work for the likes of Warm Jets and Rialto. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof says the explosion occurred Monday evening in an underground electrical vault outside California Hall as power was trying to be restored on campus.
Mogulof says the explosion sent one person to the hospital with minor burns as three others also received minor burns but refused treatment.
The blast may have been caused by an underground copper wire theft at a campus substation last week causing more damage than initially thought according to Mogulof.
Fire crews have also rescued about 20 people stuck in dormitory elevators as a result of the outage that also led to a mandatory evacuation on campus.
It's still unclear when classes will resume.

I don't have tons of memories of my first couple of trips to Panama at the young ages of 4 and 5, but there are certain things that stick out. Eggs being served at some event related to Tia Ilka's wedding. Swiping a fingerful of frosting from the wedding cake as soon as Tia Mirna had turned away to attend to something else. The matching dresses Tia Mirna had made for me and my primas. Lying in a beach hammock at Gorgona with my mother and my brother.
I also remember being cranky one night, wanting all of the people (a.k.a. relatives) partying late into the night at my nana's house in the neighborhood of Rio Abajo to go home so I could go to sleep. For whatever complicated reason, based on stubborn kindergartener logic, I had decided that even though I was exhausted I was simply too inconvenienced by their presence to allow myself to give in to the sleep. My mom says I even asked her in desperation, "Why don't all these people go home?!"
Anyhow, back in the days of the house in Rio Abajo, my mom, my brother and I would sleep in my mother's old room – the one she had occupied before she married my father and migrated to the U.S. I think all three of us may have even slept in one single twin bed (I was only 4 or 5 and Igmar was a toddler…but still!). From what I remember the room was quite bare and plain, but something about the memories of it evokes feelings of home, comfort, coziness. When I came across this picture of my mother, taken long before she knew she'd end up with children with crazy names like Anulkah and Igmar, I knew instantly it was that room – not so much from sight but from that feeling. The feeling of nana's house.

Sure it's cool to destroy New York, but it's even cooler to destroy Los Angeles. That's why Omega Man, the 1970s version of I Am Legend, took place in Los Angeles. Viral decimation is only one of the many ways LA has been crushed, according to a 1998 book by Mike Davis, Ecology of Fear, in which the irascible social critic gives us a helpful list of how LA is destroyed in 145 scifi/disaster novels. Of course nukes top the list, with a whopping 49 books wiping out LA in a big blast. But you'll be surprised by some of the lesser-known forms of LA-elimination.
Here is Davis' list of ways LA is destroyed in literature, with number of occurrences, for your contemplation:
Nukes, 49
Earthquakes, 28
Hordes (invasion), 10
Monsters, 10
Pollution, 7
Gangs/terrorism, 6
Floods, 6
Plagues, 6
Comets/tsunami, 5
Cults, 3
Volcanoes, 2
Firestorms, 2
Drought, 1
Blizzard, 1
Devil, 1
Freeway, 1
Riot, 1
Fog, 1
Slide, 1
Bermuda grass, 1
Global warming, 1
Sandstorm, 1
"Everything," 1
Needless to say, Davis moved out of LA to Hawaii several years ago.

1 suspect was brought into police custody and a stolen vehicle was recovered without damages after an officer deployed a StarChase GPS tag onto a registered stolen vehicle. #19-318.
The StarChase system is a proven, less-lethal technology that provides a significant tactical advantage to law enforcement officers in failure-to-yield or high-risk flight situations. Once a vehicle is tagged it enables a dispatcher to track the suspect in real time using a web-based mapping program. The officer remains on the street, a potentially dangerous pursuit is avoided, and the offender can then be safely apprehended.

Two years ago, psychic James Van Praagh privately warned Barbara Walters about her health, only to be called out later on the TV icon's daytime talk show, "The View" – and now, with Barbara headed for heart surgery, he has come forward to Access Hollywood to explain what happened.
"I felt very, very bad for her as anyone would," James told Access' Tony Potts of Monday's announcement that Barbara would undergo heart surgery for a faulty valve. "A horrible thing to happen to anybody."
However, he explained that he felt the news was "a validation of what I got for her at that time."
James, a co-executive producer of CBS's "Ghost Whisperer" and a medium with a long history of success in TV and publishing, told Tony that he'd sensed something wrong with Barbara during his appearance on "The View" on July 8, 2008, and suggested during a commercial break that she have a reading done. However, he explained that after the show, she wanted to hear what he'd sensed.
"I tuned into her and I said, 'Something is bad with your blood,'" James said of their backstage discussion. "It's not moving correctly… you have to watch it. It might not be right now, it could be in the future."
He also told her he sensed issues with her white blood cells and her back.
Less than two weeks later, in the July 17 episode, Barbara went on "The View" and proclaimed that her doctors had given her a clean bill of health, criticizing James – a move that disappointed the psychic.
"I've known her for many years, I thought she was… such a class act, and to go on her show and really berate me, when I'm not there to defend myself, on something that was [done] very privately, that that wasn't right for her to do that," James said. "She said that I was dangerous. That's not right to do that, with the millions of people that I've helped with my work.
"She owes me an apology," he continued.
James added that Barbara may have misunderstood how his abilities function.
"Many people don't understand about how a clairvoyant works. People think it is very linear," he said. "If I say to you this is going to happen, it might not happen tomorrow, it might happen 3 years from now. It is an inexact science… and I think that Barbara took it very literally."
When asked whether his predictions for Barbara – such as back problems, an issue common amongst the elderly – were suspect due to their likelihood, James said his work speaks for itself.
"I did it privately with her, didn't do it for public knowledge," he said. "I know I have a background. The success rate that I have is very high."
Neither "The View" nor personal reps for Barbara would comment on her surgery today when reached by Access Hollywood.

I'm back in the radioactively contaminated areas around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, for the 4th time since the nuclear disaster in March 2011. Once again it's surreal.
I've measured radiation levels that are clearly too high . I've had lunch in between contaminated hills, an electronic sign next to the road shows radiation levels instead of the speed of cars.
I came here with16 Greenpeace radiation experts to check radiation in the Tamura City region last week. The government says it has decontaminated some of this area and plans to lift the evacuation order for a part of Tamura; it would be the first community re-opened since the disaster.
Life goes on in Fukushima Prefecture. Mothers bring their children to school, a grandmother works in her garden, and parents go to work.
But something is off. Some people grow flowers in their gardens since they cannot eat home-grown vegetables. Mothers tell their children not to play with the sand, afraid the radioactive caesium, present everywhere, might harm their health. Men in blue suits, wearing protection masks, are filling up large black bags as part of the effort to decontaminate areas where radiation levels are too high.
Driving through the area, we see those big black bags literally everywhere.
Thousands and thousands of black bags with radioactive waste are spread throughout the landscape. Plants have started to overgrow some of them. How will the authorities keep track of the radioactive waste? How will these bags survive the change of seasons?
We see a large pile of black bags next to a kindergarten. Why on earth would someone decide to establish a radioactive dumpsite where children are playing every day?
An elderly couple tells us they have returned to their house in the 20km evacuation zone after having been evacuated 2.5 years ago, but their three-year-old great grandchild and her mother are still living in an area that is less contaminated. They worry if it is safe for their great grandchild to visit them.
A woman used to harvest a lot of fruits from her orchard and sell them. Her house was decontaminated; her orchard was not. The authorities say they cannot do that, because the orchard is 'out of category' – it does not fit in any of the categories defined in the decontamination plan.
A proud man has built a new house next to his original, contaminated house that has been in his family for centuries. But the government does not provide any compensation for the costs of building a clean house.
When a couple returned to their house two years after their hasty evacuation, the house was partially destroyed due to leaks caused by the 2011 earthquake. The costs of repairs are high, but it is difficult to get compensation for those costs.
A man, who likes to plant new trees in the forest land that he owns, does not do that anymore because of the high radiation levels in the forest. The man hopes the government will decontaminate his forest, but this is almost impossible.
Surreal. The Japanese government wants to pretend everything will be back to normal after decontamination, but it's not that simple. Suffering in Fukushima continues, largely invisible to the rest of the world. People are struggling, not able to return to their normal lives.
When will the Japanese government stop protecting the profits of the nuclear industry and instead make protecting people its priority?

Press Release: Removing Radioactive Fuel Rods in Fukushima in November 2013 is an Issue of Human Survival
In light of this global crisis,...
Press Release: Removing Radioactive Fuel Rods in Fukushima in November 2013 is an Issue of Human Survival
In light of this global crisis, Children of the Sun Foundation is seeking to partner with fellow humanitarian groups to coordinate a global meditative effort aimed at preventing any further nuclear disaster at Fukushima. This is the second assignment for their latest initiative, The Global Peace Operations, having successfully completed a peace building mission in Syria and Egypt in August of this year.
Since the Japanese Earthquake that catalyzed the nuclear disaster at Fukushima in March 2011, the world coverage about the potential contamination and the resulting global impact has varied considerably.
Reports from numerous online resources state that Fukushima is leaking at least 300 tons of radioactive chemicals into the ocean per day. In addition to this mass contamination, it has been identified that the most significant danger now lies in the delicate underwater operation to remove the spent fuel rods to safer storage locations.
Starting this November, TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) will begin the dangerous extraction process to remove the spent fuel rods. This is a process normally assisted by computers but now must be done manually due to the high levels of radiation and deteriorating environmental conditions.
There is very high risk that these rods will drop or break, according to Toshio Kimura, former TEPCO technician. The resulting nuclear emissions would be 13,000 times more powerful than those experienced at Hiroshima. This poses a significant threat not only to Japan but also to the rest of the world.
Former U.N. adviser Akio Matsumura calls removing the radioactive materials from the Fukushima fuel pools "an issue of human survival".
Children of the Sun Foundation is focusing all efforts on continuing to build a worldwide self-organizing meditation network of 144,000 passionate people, who can be linked in an instant through the use of the internet and mobile technology. Welcoming citizens and leaders from all countries, this collaborative effort is resolved to aide in stabilizing global crises like the one unfolding in Fukushima.
"As we come to directly experience the truth of our interdependence, these global catastrophes can be our greatest teachers. They shake us up and wake us up to the reality that everything we do affects the greater whole. We have an opportunity to show the world the power that exists within us as one united family of Humanity. There is no limit to what a focused and dedicated group can accomplish". – Tiara Kumara, Children of the Sun Foundation.
Children of the Sun Foundation will have a delegation team situated in Japan during the full moon lunar eclipse on October 18th, 2013 to assist in facilitating a live synchronized meditation event. This will take place at 11am in the Japanese time zone. This focus will continue to build with the daily efforts of thousands of participants from around the world, culminating in a global meditative transmission on the November 3rd new moon solar eclipse at 11am (JST).
Please help spread the word and join us in the effort to circumvent any further nuclear contamination.
With Love,
The Children of the Sun foundation
Children of the Sun Foundation is a non-profit public foundation initiating conscious evolution through activities that build unity and global coherence.

How to Add Appointments to iPad's Calendar
The Calendar app on iPad allows you to track all your appointments and special events. Add appointments to the calendar so you can more easily keep track of your busy schedule.
Appointments and events can be set up to repeat when needed. For example, if you have a weekly luncheon appointment, you can enter it once and tell Calendar to automatically repeat it for you every week. Appointments and events be viewed by day, week, or month by the way — whichever view is the most convenient.

For example, you might enter Lunch with Sally as the title, and La Hacienda as the location.
3Tap the Starts/Ends field.
The Start & End dialog is displayed.
4Tap the Starts field.
Use the time control at the bottom of the dialog box to adjust the start time. Scroll up or down with your finger in each column: date, hour, minute, and AM/PM, to set the start time. Repeat to set the Ends time. When each item is set correctly, tap Done.
If the event will last all day, you can simply tap the All-Day On/Off button and forget about setting start and end times.
5If you want to add notes, use your finger to scroll down in the Add Event dialog and tap in the Notes field.
Type your note.
7Tap on a preset time interval: Every Day, Week, 2 Weeks, Month, or Year then tap Done.
You're returned to the Add Event dialog.
8Tap Done.
The appointment or event is saved to your calendar.
You can edit an event at any time by simply tapping the appointment or event in any view of your calendar. The Edit Event dialog appears; make your changes and tap Done to save them.

I have this flash drive that is write protected and in RAW format. I need to change that so the drive is usable again. I have used the Gnome Partition Editor, but it can't do anything because the drive is write protected.
I have tried:
sudo chmod 777 /dev/sdb
sudo chmod 777 /dev/sdb1
Those are the only names I can find for the drive as it doesn't have a location in the file system because of the RAW format.
Anybody know how to change read-write permissions for a flash drive?

Now that everyone has their copy of New Moon and has watched it over and over again, we'd like to issue a contest of sorts for those of you that are up to the challenge. One of our favorite scenes in the film is the movie theatre three way date scene. Many of you will probably agree that it was one of the most uncomfortable and yet funny moments of the film. The movie that Bella, Jacob, and Mike go to see is called "Face Punch," which is a totally made up film title that Chris Weitz came up with after trying out several other bad movie titles that were actual films!
Here is our challenge to you: Make a trailer for the fictional movie "Face Punch."
We do have a few rules and guidelines.
1. The video must be between one minute and two and a half minutes in length. Any video longer than two minutes and thirty seconds will be disqualified.
2. The video should resemble traditional trailers of various scenes and not be one long, continuous scene.
3. The video can use dialogue and references from The Twilight Saga: New Moon but it cannot be the actual recorded sound from the film.
4. The video must be posted on YouTube on your own channel. We will not host your video for you.
5. You must send us a link to your YouTube video to firstname.lastname@example.com.
6. You must send us your video information by May 5, 2010. Winners will be announced May 7, 2010.
We will choose three winners from the submitted entries to receive one of several prizes. Prizes include an autographed New Moon poster, an autographed Wolf Girl tote bag, and an autographed Volturi tote bag. The first place winner will get their first pick of the prizes. The second place winner will get to chose next. The third place winner will win the item not chosen by the first or second place winner. There is only one prize item per winning submission.
Remember to have fun with this and make the most of your two and a half minutes. We look forward to seeing what you all come up with!
If you have any questions, put them in the comments because chances are someone else has the same question and that will make it easier to answer.

'Tis the Season…for Soup Runs in the Big Apple
December 2010 • Off-Campus Community Event • By Deborah (Malacky) Belonick
"Tis the Season"...to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and visit the sick that linger outside New York's Penn Station. During Advent, members of our seminary community have been making several charitable trips to the Big Apple in response to the Gospel's commandments (Matt 25:35–37).
Our seminarians, their spouses, teenagers of faculty members, and alumni continue to pack up warm clothing and make hot soup for needy city residents, making evening runs to New York to aid street folk that need a helping hand and a cheerful word. SVOTS community members cooperate with Emmaus House, an active, ecumenical, Christ-centered non-profit organization that has served the poor in Harlem and on the streets of Manhattan for over forty years. Founded and led by Father David Kirk, an Orthodox Christian priest, the organization has taken a unique approach to assisting those in need. It offers food and clothing to the neighborhood poor, approaching each person as created in the image and likeness of God.
Tanya Hoff, wife of student Jeffrey Hoff, commented on her "soup run" experience thus far: "As we prepare for the coming of our Lord at the approaching feast of the Nativity, our group from SVOTS has had the blessing to share in the fellowship of those who dedicate their time to Emmaus House, and in the fellowship with the poor that Emmaus House serves. With love, we prepared and served warm soup, and with love, our neighbors in Christ received it, as we shared time together outside of Penn Station."

Recommending Reading: Post-Digital Print
Image via Post-Digital Print: The Mutation of Publishing since 1864 from Everyday Science and Mechanics magazine, 1935
Artists have often been at the forefront of technological innovations in publishing media — experimenting to push boundaries in new directions. They create new ideas about interactions with emerging media and spark fresh conversations about legacy practices and formats — think; David Horvitz, Metahaven, and Paul Chan's Badlands Unlimited, to name only a few. This phenomenon of experimental publishing isn't new, but Alessandro Ludovico puts the enterprise into a unique and digestible perspective in Post-Digital Print: The Mutation of Publishing since 1864. His research reveals the deep history and early seeds of current publishing media remix in their original surroundings — from Fluxus promotions to the rise and fall of zines and up to the interventionist work of Julian Oliver and Danja Vasiliev's Newstweek and beyond.
In our present digital era, the 'death of paper' has become a plausible concept, widely expected to materialise sooner or later. The 'digitisation of everything' explicitly threatens to supplant every single 'old' medium (anything carrying content in one way or another), while claiming to add new qualities, supposedly essential for the contemporary world: being mobile, searchable, editable, perhaps shareable. And indeed, all of the 'old' media have been radically transformed from their previous forms and modalities – as we have seen happen with records, radio and video. On the other hand, none of these media ever really disappeared; they 'merely' evolved and transformed, according to new technical and industrial requirements.
The printed page, the oldest medium of them all, seems to be the last scheduled to undergo this evolutionary process. This transformation has been endlessly postponed, for various reasons, by the industry as well as by the public at large. And so the question may very well be ...
Artist Profile: Julian Oliver
Transparency Grendade (pre-assembly), 2012 by Julian Oliver
You've been participating in the tech and art community for over a decade now. You're work spans everything from establishing an artistic game-development collective to pushing the boundaries of privacy on public wireless networks with custom hardware. Just this past year you published the Critical Engineering Manifesto with Gordan Savičić and Danja Vasiliev. Was there a specific event or moment that inspired its creation and were their any earlier iterations of the ten statements that didn't make the final cut?
Danja, Gordan and I felt a long standing need to frame our respective practices a little more acutely, foregrounding the languages and cultures of Engineering, rather than Art, in the creative and critical process. We'd each found ourselves frustrated under the vague, ballooning term of Media Artist - like trying to swim in a bathrobe. This came up in conversation enough times to explore alternatives. Afterall, it didn't seem to matter whether we called what we made 'art', even ourselves 'artists', people were quick to do it for us anyway.
One thing that regularly came up in conversation between us is that Engineering, not Art, is the most transformative language of our time - informing the way we communicate, move, trade and even think. The reach of Engineering is so deep that it's hard to disagree it has become part of our environment, with vast impacts on human culture, the Earth and how we understand it. So it follows that to ignore the languages, logics and ideas that make up this thing we call Engineering is to assume a critically vulnerable position - we become unable to describe our environment.
As thinkers with technical abilities in several areas, we want to take on our built and increasingly automated environment by the terms in which it's given, opening it up for post-utilitarian conversation, for play and interrogation. If there's ever a time to be doing that, it's now, especially with opaque and hidden infrastructure in the telecommunications space deeply impacting diplomatic relations and civil liberties world wide.
The Critical Engineering Manifesto grew directly from conversations along these lines and was generally very well received, soon translated into 14 languages. A couple of people wrote in that they wondered why we didn't include or reference 'hacking' as a critical practice to draw upon. Admittedly none of us had an instinct to include it, as it is also a term that has an increasingly vague meaning. I think Danja and Gordan would agree that those that hack in a way we appreciate are already Critical Engineers!
The Transparency Grenade and Newstweek are projects that are designed to disrupt traditional systems of information distribution in news organizations, companies, and governments. Do they achieve your desired affects on the systems they are designed to criticize? Have you been satisfied with the results of the two projects?
It's true that both projects are real implementations with tangible and disruptive effects. That said Danja and I developed Newstweek primarily to spur critical attention to the vulnerabilities of our increasingly 'browser-defined reality', to return an eye to the network infrastructure that plays an integral role in the distribution of fact. If you can control the infrastructure, you can control what's understood to be fact. Newstweek has certainly achieved what we'd hoped in this regard, inciting plenty of productive, healthy paranoia - helped along by us releasing a full HOWTO so that others can build their own Newstweek devices.
The second dimension to the project surrounds an intervention on the top->down news distribution model. We know that our news is being 'tweeked' anyway - an endemic symptom of the (rather bizarre) fact we traditionally depend on privately owned news corporations to inform our summarial view of the world. Newstweek seeks to intervene on this model, an on the ground solution for civilians to have their chance to propagandise or simply 'fix the facts' they know to be untrue.
The Transparency Grenade has been a tricky project as all of sudden some people think I'm in the cyber-weapons business, which I'm not. Like Newstweek, it's first and foremost a conversation starter. It seeks to directly manifest the fears we have, whether state, corporation or individual, around the increased political volatility of data. Indeed it is an implementation that can be used but I'm not selling grenades to be used as weapons. In fact they're limited edition finely crafted objects that look enough like a grenade for you to /not/ want to take with you into a corporate meeting. The Android application I'm still developing will mimic much of the functionality of the grenade and is better suited for such purposes, though I certainly will never suggest it be used and nor will I use it myself. That would put me in a very different legal position.
Many of your works challenge the implicit trust people have in the wireless networks they use - from cell phones to public wifi. In that same way your pieces often blur the boundaries between gallery space and the public sphere. Why is revealing and breaking these boundaries of trust and perception important to you and your work?
Again it comes back to infrastructure and how our inability to describe and understand reduces our critical reach, leaving us both disempowered and, quite often, vulnerable.
Opacity is an important word here too, as is the term 'black box'. Most of our engineered communications infrastructure is not just extraordinarily abstract for people to come to grips with but is actively kept hidden. There are some valid reasons, of course, for keeping infrastructure hidden but the fact is it out of sight is being increasingly exploited in and out of supposedly democratic contexts, largely by surveillance initiatives we were never told about.
Interface Aesthetics: An Introduction
Image from CMD SHIFT 3 .NET by Emilio Gomeriz
Everyday we use digital tools to create, edit, and document our work. We click fastidiously into the graphical user interface (GUI) of applications, seeing expected results while trying to ignore the friction of bad design, failed UX, and glitches. Most actions are conducted successfully and the interface holds its transparent position. But despite the GUI's seemingly innocuous presence, its aesthetic leaches its way into our own. How we view our creative process and documentation is minutely and incrementally shifted by the frame of the interfaces we routinely use.
Douglas Engelbart's 1968 demo of NLS (online system)
The current paradigm of the user interface had its first introduction on December 9th in 1968 when Douglas Engelbart demoed his famous NLS (online system) at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in held at the Convention Center in San Francisco, CA. Engelbart and his team at Stanford had an innovative vision driven by desires to improve the ways people communicate and interact with each other and computers. It was the public debut of the mouse. The work produced by his group went on to inspire the most basic interactions used in Xerox's Star graphical user interface and almost every operating system since...
Thoughts on Wikipedia's Future
A page from David Horvitz's A Wikipedia Reader,2009
"Very few people are being promoted into the humble, hard-working positions which make Wikipedia work."
- Robinson Meyer via The Atlantic
Earlier this month Wikipedia held its annual summit in Washington, DC. Afterwards, The Atlantic summarized the event in an article outlining how Wikipedia is slowly running out of admins to edit the site's content. A trend is emerging. Fewer people are applying, and the current editors are slowly leaving. The long-term future has a flicker of uncertainty. To spark some discussion, I surveyed four artists and writers about the decline. We can all speculate what effects a decline in editor participation will have on Wikipedia as a global knowledge-base, but what are the implications for artists who use it as a tool for research and making work?
Lori Emerson
A healthy creative practice in the 21st century demands a baseline level of unencumbered access not just to information but to a broad range of cultural practices in general. While some of the most successful artists of the digital age are, as Mark Amerika has put it, 'remixologists' of information and culture, such a practice isn't sustainable without grassroots archives to draw from such as Wikipedia. For my own work, Wikipedia has long been a crucial entryway to information on the history of computing and digital art - Wikipedia pages on these topics are remarkably detailed and informative in ways often unmatched by books or print-based articles. I fear that the potential decline of Wikipedia would not only severely impact creative-critical practices but it also indicates more broadly that while we have made tremendous strides in opening access to information, we do not yet have any strategies in place for a long-term curatorial practice of maintaining and preserving this access ...
Guest Blogger for the Week: Jason Huff

Jason, our former editorial fellow, is back to guest blog while Joanne is on vacation this week. He is a practicing artist, writer, and designer who originally hails from Georgia but now lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Last year he graduated with a Masters in Fine Art in Digital + Media from the Rhode Island School of Design. His work is currently featured in Daphne, a show at FJORD gallery in Philadelphia, PA that opened this month. Keep an eye out for American Pyscho, a collaborative piece he completed with Mimi Cabell scheduled to be published later this year by Traumawien. His work is also included in the Special Collections at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
Required Reading
Required Reading
Hi Tom, and all
First off, the purpose of Required Reading is to point to compelling articles relevant to new media. We're not always endorsing them 100%, but also often sharing them with Rhiz readers for the purpose of discussion. (Its a column Rhizome has been running for 2 years.) I thought Davis' article was worth inclusion because its an attempt at defining the field, and its a proposition: The first five sections draw lines between what Davis describes as social media art and other forms of new media. But in his final section, he closes his analysis with some self-criticism: "It's not a frame to think within. It's a box that needs to be escaped."
With that in mind, Salas makes a good point about it including traditional definitions of art, and the absence of participatory art, including contemporary practitioners like Miranda July and Harold Fletcher. In my opinion, I appreciate a non media art critic calling for a deeper and broader research of social media artwork - but I agree, to some extent, that an attempt to form definitions at a point of emergence can prove to be problematic, and boxes art in inappropriate ways.
Thanks for writing.
MFA programs
Again, a great initial resource is the Rhizome list of New Media Programs. We have programs listed and linked in the States and Abroad. I think there is a good school in the south of France. If I find the link I'll post here.
Good luck,
MFA programs
Definitely check the New Media program list with Rhizome first. I'm in the MFA program at RISD right now and can say that it offers a lot of flexibility and resources to students. As a note, we're in the middle of an international search for a new department head which should end at the end of this academic year. Feel free to email me if you have any extra questions. The programs website is here: http://dm.risd.edu
You can also cruise this mega list of national new media programs:
It's not exclusively MFA but it's a good starting point for broader research on schools.
I know SVA just started an Interdisciplinary MFA program that might be worth checking out:
I've had a few friends who have gone to ITP too that had a good experience. The RISD program is geared more toward Fine Art and you can take courses at Brown - ITP is more technically focused. At least that's my understanding.

On the heels of its Super Bowl ad sneak peek two weeks ago, Volkswagen stays with the dog-and-Star Wars theme in the full ad, which was released on Wednesday.
Titled "The Dog Strikes Back," the VW ad features a rather portly pooch whose desire is to chase the new Beetle down the street. Once he sheds the weight, the dog is off and running.
"Back and better than ever," the ad says.
See what you think, and make sure to watch the full ad for the Star Wars connection.

How to Choose an E-Mail Marketing Provider with a Good Sender Reputation
Getting more of your marketing e-mails delivered starts with sending your e-mail from a reputable e-mail server. Because your own e-mail server isn't likely to have a reputation, delivering your mail through an e-mail marketing program (EMP) with a respectable and well-known reputation is one of the most important steps you can take to maximize your e-mail deliverability. Make sure you choose an EMP that can do the following:
Authenticate your e-mail: Authentication allows e-mail servers to identify the sender of an e-mail.
Eliminate customers with high spam complaints: EMPs send e-mails from their own servers on behalf of their customers even though the e-mails appear to come from their customers. Because too many spam complaints might cause the EMP's servers to become blacklisted, associate with an EMP that takes action when one of its customers receives too many spam complaints. Reputable EMPs keep their overall complaint rates low — and your sender reputation as clean as possible.
Affirm the quality of its customers' e-mail lists: Although EMPs can't guarantee or predetermine the quality of their customers' e-mail lists, reputable EMPs require customers to adhere to strict permission policies to caution their customers when attempting to use e-mail addresses that could generate a high number of complaints.
Adopt a policy for spam tolerance: Some businesses, such as those in the financial and medical industries, inherently receive a lot of spam complaints because their legitimate e-mail content looks similar to a lot of spam e-mails. Use an EMP that either has options for such businesses or has a policy to refer such businesses to another service that specializes in industries where spam complaints may be higher than average.
Keep customers from sending repeated e-mails to unknown users: Spammers send billions of e-mails to every possible e-mail address hoping to uncover real addresses. Because ISPs (such as AOL, Yahoo!, and Hotmail) spend a lot of money bouncing e-mails sent by spammers, they aren't appreciative of e-mails sent to nonexistent addresses. As a result, your deliverability could suffer if your e-mail server is labeled as a nuisance. To help protect your sender reputation (as well as that of the EMP), most reputable EMPs stop sending your e-mail to nonexistent e-mail addresses after two or three attempts even if you don't remove the e-mail addresses yourself.
E-mail filters often rely on sender reputation before content filters, so check your EMP's sender reputation against the competition by signing up for a free account at Return Path's Sender Score service. Type the domain name of the company and then click each of its listed e-mail servers to see the sender score for each server used to send e-mail on behalf of the EMP's customers. A score of 0 on a particular e-mail server is the worst, and a score of 100 is the best. After you feel comfortable that you're sending e-mail via a reputable EMP, you can be sure that your efforts to optimize your e-mail content won't be wasted.
