Uninhabited Planet Survive
Well, since this obviously has no thread of it's own, I thought I'd kick one off. So far I'm really enjoying this series. Not entirely sure what to think of all the charecters. But overall I'm liking it quite a bit already. Plus 2 thumbs up to WeSuck fansubs. You guys got some kick*** quality. At least that's my opinion.
Anyone else seen it yet? Whatcha guys think of it?

I have been curious of this show for a while. What is the story is all about? I have looked at animenfo but the description of the story is vague. "We Suck" just recently subbed episode 3. So Raiden, if you have seen all the subbed episodes, what is your take on it? You can spoil me.

WeSuck are doing a great job pickin up series and shows I've never heard of... I wasn't sure of this show when I dl'd it... but then again I wasn't sure of BPS either and I got hooked on that....
I've just watched the first episode... the show takes place in the future with like space colonies and other stuff like that... and the main character seems alright as well... I thought it was an alright show from the first episode and I'm lookin to watch more of it... it's definitely fillin the void left by Stellvia with all that futuristic stuff...
btw..... that blond guy is a total prick though...

I really don't think this should be a spoiler since it's in the opening sequence, but anyway..
Also, if you don't like slow moving, or hate non-action packed anime, or require very deep (angsty) characters, this series is not for you.

I like it because, while it seems like it may be aimed at the younger sect in Japan, it's got an innocent adventure vibe to it that we don't get to see in fansubs very often. I like it for a lot of the same reasons I like Planetes and even GTO. There's no giant robots, no lame ass fanservice, no mahou shoujo, or silly bishounen. Just a bunch of cool (and not so cool) kids and a seeminly interesting story. Looking forward to more.
And major propers to We Suck for picking up this series. It was picked up by a bunch of smaller groups who only got an episode or 2 out, and We Suck comes out and get's us 3 and 4 like they were on a mission. I hope they stay with this one.

here's another thread for the same show:http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...Planet+Survive
I just got through episode 4. The show is a kid's adventure about a class trip gone really wrong - to the extent that a small group of kids winds up on an apparently uninhabited planet - well, once they are there, "uninhabited planet" is a misnomer innit. The kids more or less do not get along with each other, but they will have to if they want to survive their little vacation.
This show has nothing SFnal about it - this is a classic Japanese theme (the word for "group harmony" is wa) which could have been set anywhere. In fact it seems that an ecological/technophobic theme will emerge in the middle of the series.
I notice that Madhouse (Card Captor Sakura, X Movie, X TV and many more) is involved in this production, which accounts for at least some of the satisfaction people seem to be getting from watching the show.
I also gotta give props to WS.

I'm enjoying Uninhabited Planet Survive a lot. And that blonde guy you all speak of, Howard, is actually remarkably effective (full credit to Ishida Akira's performance--Nagisa Kaoru from NGE). He is much more likeable than the written role might have been.

I watched all 4 eps yesterday, I love it so far. I'm not sure what it is about it, I like the art style and it just seems a bit different from the norm. And yea, Howard is not exactly a sniper. I'd fill up his water bottle with salt water, let him have that.

Did they show the person who did that? I thought they only showed the hand of the person who did that.....
Well... after 3 episodes.... I can say that the Stellvia feelin is gone and I'm sorta gettin a Lord of the Flies vibe now...... I just hope that this series doesn't end up like Lord of the Flies... it's a good show still!

I sorta wish too... that they had a better voice for the girl with glasses... I really don't like the way she sounds.... but that's just me......

With regards to Howard..
At least for the first 11 episodes, I dunno about the rest since they haven't aired. If Howard's character doesn't develop in the next 3 to 5 episodes, I'm going to lose all hope for this series. I do believe they will expand Howard's character eventually though.. as I've said in the other thread, they seem to be filling in background information for each character now, and having the character grow with regards to it.
But I agree with others in this thread, it's a nice anime with none of the typical crap you find in anime being thrown in.
BTW, the girl with the glasses does get better (more tollerable), you'll just have live with her for a few episodes.

The Chicago Bears have a chance to put together their first winning streak since September when they host the 2-8 Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Soldier Field. Both teams are coming off much-needed wins. The Bears downed the Vikings 21-13 in Week 11 while the Bucs went to Washington and scored a 27-7 upset.
So what can we expect Sunday?
We asked Roy Cummings, who covers the Buccaneers for the Tampa Tribune, for his candid personal scouting report. Here are four things you need to know about the Bucs before Sunday's kickoff.
1. Lovie Smith's defense has failed him so far this season.
You remember all of those tenacious, confident, intimidating...

New York, NY 10021
Auction Hours:
Coming Soon
This past January, Guernsey's held the first of three auctions devoted to the important Dr. Hans Sachs Poster Collection. The first auction, containing 1,233 posters within nine categories (art, products, travel, propoganda, war, etc) were sold without reserve to an international audience which included approximately twenty museums.
We're now pleased to announce that the second auction, the Dr. Hans Sachs Poster Collection, Part II, will be held on November 22, 23 and 24. Like the first event, it will be held live in New York City while absentee bidders can either submit written bids, bid on the telephone or participate in "real time" on proxibid.com or liveauctioneers.com.
As we did for the first auction, a handsome, comprehensive catalogue is being prepared for the second event. Part II will contain approximately 1,300 posters that are equally rare and, in many cases, quite extraordinary just they were in Part I. For example, there will be nine very rare Secession art posters in the second event. The catalogue for the second auction is $40 + shipping ($10 in the US, $30 internationally). A limited number of catalogues from the first event remain available. Guernsey's accepts Master Card and Visa for catalogue payment.
We will soon be posting some of the images from Sachs, Part II on this website. In the meantime, should you have questions about this upcoming exciting, unreserved auction, please contact us directly. Thank you.History
The fabled Dr. Hans Sachs Poster Collection is universally described as being the most significant collection of its type in existence. Indeed, descriptions that have appeared in the press include "... the greatest pre-war collection of posters," and "thousands of the rarest posters." One need only search for Dr. Sachs' name on the Internet to find the compelling story that, in abbreviated form, follows.
In the last years of the nineteenth century, a young German Jewish student, fascinated by the strong graphics applied in promotional posters, began a quest to collect. Thus began what is internationally regarded as the first recognized poster collection the world was yet to see. As the student graduated into the world of dentistry, so did his collection grow. Among the many categories of posters the young Dr. Sachs sought out covered the worlds of art, propaganda and politics, entertainment (from cabarets and dining to opera and early film), travel, sports, consumer products (from cigarettes to the first automobiles) to scenes of war.
With a keen eye for the very finest creations, Dr. Sachs acquired posters by such noted artists as Mucha, Steinlen, Cassandre, Cheret, Bernhard, Edel, Gipkens, Klinger, Carlu, Schnackenberg, Dufau, Grasset, Fennecker, Hohlwein, Kainer, Pechstein, Scheurich, Biro, Leyendecker, Christy, Flagg and many more. In time, his interest was so great that he organized the first poster collecting society and, in 1911, followed that by publishing Das Plakat (The Poster), an international magazine which quickly developed a devoted following. All the while, his collection grew.
By 1938, under the direction of Josef Goebbels, the Gestapo seized the collection, placing Dr. Sachs in a concentration camp. Although, with the help of family and friends, Dr. Sachs was able to gain his release from the camp, he never saw nor heard of his collection again. Just before the outbreak of World War II, almost penniless, Dr. Sachs escaped Germany and led his family to the United States. In time, he came to believe that his beloved collection was destroyed at the hands of the Nazis.
In 1960, the German government, recognizing the need to provide Dr. Sachs some restitution, offered him a relatively small amount for his loss. Without any other option, he accepted the offer. Dr. Sachs passed away a decade later. Following a long career as an airline pilot, Dr. Sachs' son retired several years ago. While in retirement, Mr. Sachs had time to search evidence from the past and discovered, amazingly, that his father's poster collection, long thought lost to history, indeed existed in the vaults of a German national museum, located in what was once East Berlin.
The Sachs family's efforts to retrieve their collection from the museum failed leading to a well-documented legal battle. With the assistance of both German and American law firms, the collection became the focus of a case that rose through the ranks of the German Court system, eventually debated in Germany's highest court. All the while, the epic case became the subject of countless news reports appearing throughout the global media.
In the end, the Sachs family was granted approval to recover Dr. Sachs' collection. Today, the nearly five thousand posters in the collection constitute what knowledgeable experts in the poster world view as the very finest collection of its type. Indeed, many of the posters in the collection are believed to be the sole surviving example of those particular images.
As this is being written, the posters are being reviewed. But already, certain facts seem apparent. Approximately two thirds of the collection is of German posters; the balance being French, English, Italian, Austrian, Hungarian, Scandinavian, American and assorted other nationalities. The condition of the posters range from excellent to poor with only a few being beyond the point of restoration. Most importantly, it is clear that Hans Sachs exercised great judgement by selecting artistically thrilling images for his collection. In short, the posters are great!
From both an artistic and historic perspective, Guernsey's feels distinctly honored to have been chosen to represent to the world the extraordinary Dr. Hans Sachs Poster Collection.Catalogue

Solid-Phase Organic Syntheses, Volume 2: Solid-Phase Palladium Chemistry
Solid-Phase Organic Syntheses, Volume 2: Solid-Phase Palladium Chemistry
ISBN: 978-1-118-33670-0 July 2012 184 Pages
Integrates solid-phase organic synthesis with palladium chemistry
The Wiley Series on Solid-Phase Organic Syntheses keeps researchers current with major accomplishments in solid-phase organic synthesis, providing full experimental details. Following the validated, tested, and proven experimental procedures, readers can easily perform a broad range of complex syntheses needed for their own experiments and industrial applications. The series is conveniently organized into themed volumes according to the specific type of synthesis.
This second volume in the series focuses on palladium chemistry in solid-phase synthesis, exploring palladium catalysts and reactions, procedures for preparation and utilization, ligands, and linker reactions. The first part of the volume offers a comprehensive overview of the field. Next, the chapters are organized into three parts:
- Part Two: Palladium-Mediated Solid-Phase Organic Syntheses
- Part Three: Immobilized Catalysts and Ligands
- Part Four: Palladium-Mediated Multifunctional Cleavage
Each chapter is written by one or more leading international experts in palladium chemistry. Their contributions reflect a thorough examination and review of the current literature as well as their own first-hand laboratory experience. References at the end of each chapter serve as a gateway to the field's literature.
The introduction of palladium-mediated, cross-coupling reactions more than thirty years ago revolutionized the science of carbon-carbon bond formation. It has now become a cornerstone of today's synthetic organic chemistry laboratory. With this volume, researchers in organic and medicinal chemistry have access to a single resource that explains the fundamentals of palladium chemistry in solid-phase synthesis and sets forth clear, step-by-step instructions for conducting their own syntheses.

"Overall, though, the adoption of an Organic Synthesesstyle is an excellent idea and works very well. Along with other related volumes, this collection serves to demystify polymer-supported methods for palladium-catalysed reactions and provides a very useful collection of clear methods. It will certainly be of interest and use to those new to the fi eld." (Platinum Metals Review, 1 July 2013)

If the previous generations were any indication, you'd expect an even more hardcore version of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI to be on the way in the form of a Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C. And breathe. Yes, which each new name expansion, the humble Impreza becomes mutated progressively more into a merciless monster. This new shot shows what appears to be the Spec C exposing itself in the wild, but we're not so easily convinced.
The image comes from Japanese magazine CarTop, and is claimed to be a hardcore Spec C testing on the Nürburgring. We're a bit skeptical because there appears to be no attempt whatsoever to disguise the car with any sort of camouflage. Real or not, the sad fact is that we may not even get the Spec C version on American shores when the rally star does make it to production.

DURHAM, N.C. – Led by first team selections Kelby Brown, Jeremy Cash, Ross Cockrell and Jamison Crowder, Duke placed a school-record 11 players on the 2013 All-ACC football team, as announced Monday by the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association (ACSMA).
Brown, a redshirt junior linebacker, received the most votes of any linebacker, while Cash, a redshirt sophomore safety, Cockrell, a redshirt senior cornerback, and Crowder, a junior wide receiver, all received the second-most votes at their respective positions. Crowder was also a second team selection at specialist for his efforts as Duke's punt returner, while offensive guard Laken Tomlinson and defensive end Kenny Anunike were named to the second unit as well. Rounding out the third team were tight end Braxton Deaver, offensive tackle Perry Simmons, punter Will Monday and kickoff returner DeVon Edwards. Placekicker Ross Martin received honorable mention honors.
The 11 All-ACC selections surpasses the previous school record of 10 all-league citations by the 1995 Blue Devils.
Brown, a 6-2, 230-pound native of Matthews, N.C., ranks second in the ACC with 9.2 tackles per game, leads Duke with eight quarterback hurries and ranks tied for the team lead with two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He has 8.5 tackles for loss, 1.0 sack, two interceptions and a pass breakup as the fulcrum of a Duke defense that is holding opponents to 23.0 points per game with 21 forced turnovers.
Cash, a 6-2, 210-pound native of Miami, Fla., is among the top defensive backs in the ACC, ranking third in the ACC with 9.1 tackles per game, tied for fourth with four interceptions and tied for ninth with two forced fumbles. He has a team-leading five games with double-digit tackles, including 13 in this past Saturday's 27-25 ACC Coastal Division-clinching win at North Carolina. Cash is the only player in the ACC to rank among the top 10 in interceptions and forced fumbles and has been on the field for a team-leading 963 snaps this season.
Cockrell, a 6-0, 185-pound native of Waxhaw, N.C., received his second straight All-ACC first team nod. This season he has amassed a team-leading 12 pass breakups with three interceptions, 36 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss and 1.0 sack on the way to breaking Duke's all-time passes defended and pass breakup records. His third interception of the season came in a 28-21 win at Wake Forest and ended the Demon Deacons' final drive with Duke leading by one touchdown.
Crowder, a 5-9, 175-pound native of Monroe, N.C., has caught a school-record 88 receptions this season for 1,131 yards and seven touchdowns. He is just 18 yards shy of tying Duke's single-season receiving yards record heading into the ACC Championship game against Florida State. Crowder leads the ACC in receptions and ranks among the league's top three in receiving yards, all-purpose yards, punt return average and punt return touchdowns. He averages 15.0 yards per punt return with scoring returns of 76 and 82 yards this season. The All-ACC selection is Crowder's second after receiving honorable mention honors last season.
Tomlinson, a 6-3, 220-pound redshirt junior from Chicago, Ill., has been on the field for 844 snaps – fifth-most on the team – and anchors an offensive line that has allowed Duke to rush for 179.9 yards per game and pass for 242.2 yards per game. Behind Tomlinson's protection, Duke has surpassed 20 rushing and 20 passing touchdowns in the same season for the first time in school history while surrendering just 14 sacks in 12 games for the third fewest in the ACC.
Anunike, a 6-5, 260-pound redshirt senior from Galena, Ohio, leads Duke in sacks for the third straight year, totaling 6.0 to go with a team-high 13.5 tackles for loss and 64 tackles, three quarterback hurries, one forced fumble, two pass breakups and on blocked field goal. He has a tackle for loss in nine of 12 games this season, including a season-high 2.5 with 2.0 sacks in the 28-21 win at Wake Forest. Anunike was an All-ACC honorable mention selection in 2012.
Deaver, a 6-5, 240-pound redshirt junior from Charlotte, N.C., is among the top three tight ends in the ACC in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns, hauling in 36 catches for 467 yards and four touchdowns. Twenty-one of his 36 catches have gone for first downs, including four first-down receptions as part of a career-high seven-catch effort in Duke's win at North Carolina. Deaver has caught multiple passes in every game this season and trails only Jamison Crowder for the team lead in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.
Simmons, a 6-5, 300-pound redshirt senior from Raleigh, N.C., is among the most successful linemen to play at Duke under head coach David Cutcliffe. Simmons, who earned All-ACC honorable mention honors one year ago, has started an ACC-leading 49 consecutive games while playing a team-high 3,671 snaps during his career without missing a game. This season he has held down the right side of a Duke offensive front that has helped to set Cutcliffe-era bests in yards per rush, rushing yards per game and rushing touchdowns with four running backs average 5.0 yards per rush or better. He has helped Duke surrender just 14 sacks in 12 games for a passing attack that averages 242.2 yards per game with 23 passing touchdowns.
Monday, a 6-4, 210-pound redshirt sophomore from of Flowery Branch, Ga., has averaged 42.8 yards per punt with 19 of his 60 punts downed inside the opponent 20-yard line and 14 traveling 50 yards or more. He was an All-ACC first team selection in 2012 and has a hold on Duke's career record for yards per punt at 43.79.
Edwards, a 5-9, 185-pound redshirt freshman from Covington, Ga., leads the NCAA with 32.7 yards per kick return and has scored four touchdowns this season, including on kickoff returns of 100 and 99 yards and interception returns of 45 and 25 yards. He cracked Duke's starting lineup at safety prior to the Virginia Tech game and has since amassed 41 tackles, three interceptions and five pass breakups. He returned interceptions for touchdowns on back-to-back plays in the win over N.C. State on Nov. 9.
Martin, a 5-9, 185-pound sophomore from Solon, Ohio, has totaled 84 points this season, hitting 11-of-15 field goals and a school-record 51 extra point attempts. He booted Duke's game-winning 27-yard field goal this past Saturday at North Carolina and totaled nine points in that 27-25 win. For his career, Martin has connected on 31-of-38 field goals for a school-record percentage of .816. He was an All-ACC honorable mention selection as a freshman in 2012.

Town and Country Door came out on a Saturday to attempt to repair our seventeen year old garage door opener. It was not repairable (no surprise!) They were able to schedule a replacement the following Monday, and were timely and quick. The work completed by Gary was excellent. Thank you!Tracy*
I called Town & Country Door at 7pm last night. Justin Brown came to our house at 10am this morning and repaired our garage door by replacing a very old torsion spring for $155. We are thrilled. It was a big inconvenience because our spring was broken and the door was too heavy to move manually. So the fact that T&C came out so quickly was essential. Justin was early for our appointment which I see as a plus and was friendly, knowledgeable and fast. When Justin left, the work site was clean. We had a part fail on a different garage door three years ago and had a good experience at that time which is why we called T&C again. I highly recommend Town & Country Door.Denise*

It has been snowing all day today….and yet, I can't buy a pair of gloves in New York City.
There's something wrong with this system.
It seems super ridiculous that the shops are full of Spring merchandise right now.
Do you really want to be buying shorts in this weather?

Wax-coated plastic morphs between soft and stiff
Heat-controlled materials could serve as skeleton for shape-shifting robots
Courtesy of N. Cheng et al
Future robots may sport a wax coating that allows them to transform from soft and squishy to stiff and strong.
Dipping foam or plastic in molten wax creates structures whose flexibility and strength can be tuned with temperature, researchers report June 30 in Macromolecular Materials and Engineering. The study introduces a novel class of inexpensive materials that can be both floppy and firm, says mechanical engineer Robert Shepherd of Cornell University.
Researchers could one day use the materials to build remote-controlled surgical or search-and-rescue robots that can squeeze through tight spaces when heated and firmly push obstacles aside when cooled.
Engineers have previously created shape-shifting materials, such as balloons filled with sand and liquids loaded with iron (

Initial Federal Response
In the 1950s and 1960s, the federal government, with the strong support and advocacy of family associations, such as The ARC, began to develop and validate practices for children with disabilities and their families. These practices, in turn, laid the foundation for implementing effective programs and services for early intervention and special education in states and localities across the country.
There are numerous illustrations of key initial federal legislation that supported improved programs and services. Notable examples include the Training of Professional Personnel Act of 1959 (P.L. 86-158), which helped train program administrators and teachers of children with mental retardation; Captioned Films Acts of 1958 (P.L. 85-905), which supported the production and distribution of accessible films; and Teachers of the Deaf Act of 1961 (P.L. 87-276), which trained instructional personnel for children who were deaf or hard of hearing. In addition, in 1965, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA; P.L. 89-10) and the State Schools Act (P.L. 89-313) provided states with direct grant assistance to help educate children with disabilities. These and other critical federal laws began to open doors of opportunity for children with disabilities and their families. (See sidebar: Key Milestones of Early Federal Support for Educating Children with Disabilities.)
Landmark court decisions further advanced increased educational opportunities for children with disabilities. For example, the Pennsylvania Association for Retarded Citizens v. Commonwealth (1971) and Mills v. Board of Education of the District of Columbia (1972) established the responsibility of states and localities to educate children with disabilities. These court decisions, which affirmed the right of every child with a disability to be educated, are grounded in the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Official Insurance Thread
Posted 21 January 2004 - 05:34 PM
Two programs that a lot of people around here use:
D.E.P.P. (with two Ps):
DAN Equipment Insurance (what I use):
Both are reputable, and have given money back to people I know who have lost equipment. DAN gives you cash for replacement, which is great because you aren't locked into buying the same camera again (it may be obsolete by the time it floods). I believe DEPP works by replacement, on their terms (meaning that they can get you the equipment themselves instead of providing cash for you to do your own shopping). Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
Posted 21 January 2004 - 06:02 PM
I had experience with DEPP during my trip. I was given money back rather than 'equipment' as I was able to buy it myself in Singapore since it was more economical than buy it and having it sent to Singapore (tax + shipping +delay).
Both are reputable, and have given money back to people I know who have lost equipment. DAN gives you cash for replacement, which is great because you aren't locked into buying the same camera again (it may be obsolete by the time it floods). I believe DEPP works by replacement, on their terms (meaning that they can get you the equipment themselves instead of providing cash for you to do your own shopping). Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
It took 4 months to get my money back. And I spent A LOT of energy on that. I plan to write a report on my experience with it on my blog some day as I find that such experience are interesting.
My main complain is about the lack of visibility about the claim progress and the dramatic communication.
As for H2OInsurance they don't cover non us residents.
Posted 22 January 2004 - 01:54 AM
I have been very pleased with them so far. I have just submitted my first claim for a flooded strobe, so i shall know soon just how good they are. But the first signs are promising, they were very courteous and rang me the day they received my claim to let me know they had received it and that they would be looking at it within a couple of days.
The policy is new for old.

DAN is not possible beacause i'm not a US-Resident
That leaves me with DiveMaster and Depp but in both of there contracts are clauses that could be a problem:
DEPP: They requier to ship Flooded Gear out within 5 days after the flooding occured. What would I do if I am on a live aboard and/or in a part of the world that wont allow me safe shipment.
DM: They have a clause, that they will only cover flooding damages if:
"but only if evidence is supplied that the damaged items have been
serviced in accordance with manufacturers/suppliers recommendations and
that after flooding "First Aid" to the damaged unit is carried out in
accordance with the manufacturers recommendation."
What does that mean exactly?
Another Questions: When you have a housing without electronics: do you cover it for flooding damages or only the actual camera gear?
Thanks Simon
Posted 17 March 2004 - 06:23 AM
Dan has a similar clause about getting a claim started right away after the item is flooded. They don't require you to send in the gear though, just take it to an authorized service center. I haven't found it to be a problem and just started the claim when I returned form my dive trip. I'd check by calling and asking, then following up by email, so you "have it in writing."
"First aid" for digital SLR cameras is pretty much a joke. The usual first aid for a film camera flood is "soak it in fresh water." Well - that doesn't work with a digital SLR now does it? lol.
Whatever you do, you MUST have camera insurance. It may be the only thing that can save your sanity when (not if) your camera gear gets flooded.

My italics added above...
My experience with a DEPP claim following a flood while a long way from shipping and service... I took the camera and housing to DEPP's annointed service facility in Australia on the first day this was feasible, they looked at it and sent an email to DEPP saying that repair of the camera was not feasible. I then carried the housing back to the US and shipped it myself to Ikelite for repair.
Time from flood to shipping for repair was more than two weeks, nobody even blinked and the claim was handled in a reasonable and rapid fashion. If I had been in Florida it probably would have been different. I think that there is a certain amount of common sense on the part of the DEPP people in situations like this, and they will not deny a claim if you flooded a camera/housing while a long way from anywhere as long as you show some reasonable effort to notify them as soon as it is actually possible.

We bought a policy for our liveaboard trip with Nekton to Mona Island last month. I shopped the web and they had the best coverage and price.
I lost my wedding band on the first day of diving. Good thing my wife was with me or I would have gotten a lot more grief!
I didn't have it scheduled on my home owner's policy...my bad!...but I checked with the travel insurance and found that they cover up to $250 per piece of jewelry. Didn't cover the cost of the ring, but it was better than nothing!
I downloaded forms online and mailed everything to them. I got a check in less than two weeks.
A very good experience and I'll use them again!

I hope that's not the case, I'd hate for a few unethical people to ruin it for the rest of us. Of course, it's possible that they have just had to pay out more as digicams are less "repairable" after a flood than film cameras.
Posted 26 March 2004 - 09:20 AM
But it may have gone up since then.

The other alternative is that Joe crossed a threshold, even if the dollar amount was close, and the insurance rates jumped because of that.
My policy is up for renewal in about a month, so if I remember, I'll post then,

Posted 31 March 2004 - 02:27 PM
"ITEMS LOST WHILE IN YOUR CARE, CUSTODY AND CONTROL -- WHILE IN USE BOTH IN AND OUT OF THE WATER, DROPPED OVERBOARD OR SWPET OVER-BOARD" (yes, it is listed in all caps)
The second states that if your equipment is stolen, you have to notify the local authorities immediately.
I asked for clarification on the first clause, and I received this as a reply:
"The exclusion states that if your equipment is swept overboard or you lose
equipment while diving, it is not covered. The program is designed to cover
your equipment due to loss while in the possession of the airline, i.e. if
the airlines lose your equipment or it is damaged, and for theft and damage,
i.e. water damage."
What I want is insurance that also covers accidental or forced loss. I will probably drop my camera if I'm in a life-threatening situation and have to ditch it to survive. But once I recover, I want my insurance to cover it.
Any tips?
Posted 31 March 2004 - 03:03 PM
Posted 31 March 2004 - 06:56 PM
1) Do you complete loss of equipment while diving (under extreme
circumstances, like life-threatening conditions)?
We do cover loss with a letter from the dive boat operation verifing circumstances of loss and whether the equipement was looked for and if not why such as rough water, too deep, rip current etc.
2) Do you cover complete loss of equipment due to it being swept overboard?
We also cover loss due to this with the same requirment as above required.
3) Do you cover non-diving, non-photographic equipment like computers?
We cover dive computers only no laptops or accessories. We do cover land camera once you have met the DEPP policy requirements. These requirements are that you must have one BCD, one Regulator and one other dive related items listed before camera gear is eligible.

DAN people were not very friendly over e-mail when I was trying to get clarification of how they handle loss (they don't cover loss AT ALL if you are in possession of the item when you lose it -- above, or below water). This means that if you break your camera accidentally, it is covered. but if it is broken, falls to the boat's floor, and someone kicks it over, you're S.O.L.
DEPP covers complete loss if you get the boat to sign a statement saying that it was because of extraordinary circumstances. But DEPP doesn't always give you cash, and will sometimes replace lost/damaged equipment with something equivalent.
well. I have a week or two to decide.
Posted 12 April 2004 - 09:59 PM
I spent about 5 hours on the phone with both DAN and DEPP this past week. I have policies with both... I've been with DEPP for about 5 years, DAN for 2. Yes, DAN's policy just went up 30%+ and also added a couple of exclusions. Long ago, DEPP's flood premium wasn't too bad... then it went up... DAN offered a slightly better rate on gear until you actually flood it... then, because deductible is so high, you pay through the shorts.
Now, with DAN's increases, I think DEPP offers the better plan- at least if you don't need to insure everything for flood.
I never have flooded gear, but with the new pricey digital cameras out there now it's a real concern. By far the biggest risk for me is theft or loss while traveling.
You are right- DAN's new exclusion (loss, wash overboard, etc.) sucks. I spoke at length with Jay about it. I brought up the emergency camera ditch situation, and they won't cover it. And if I'm standing in a boat shooting whales and drop camera over, they won't cover it anymore. Bad news.
I also argued about the practicality of filing a police report IMMEDIATELY in some overseas locations... Believe me, this sometimes is not possible. DAN couldn't comment...
DAN's problem- no screening mechanism. No price breaks for good record (ie no claims). Lots of claims have resulted in them losing big bucks, according to the execs. DAN has just priced themselves out of the game, if you have lots of gear (say 20-40k) to insure.
Everyone needs to take a serious look at the deductibles... work the numbers between the two plans... for example, to insure say one $10 k gear setup (1ds, lens, and housing, for ex) for flood for one year, and to flood it that year, costs approx $750 for DEPP and $1300 for DAN...
Work the numbers for your own situation....

Of course, I would not be covered if I dropped the whole rig in 1000' of water, but that does not seem too likely.

Fox Nation Uses Image From "Mrs. Doubtfire" To Mock Transgender People
Blog ››› ››› CARLOS MAZA
Fox Nation used a degrading image from the movie "Mrs. Doubtfire" to accompany a story about transgender healthcare, adding to the website's long history of using offensive images to mock and demonize transgender people.
On January 13, Fox Nation posted a Newsmax.com article describing new regulations in California and Oregon that require insurance companies to cover medically necessary treatments for transgender patients if they also cover those treatments for patients who aren't transgender.
The Fox Nation post featured a picture from the film "Mrs. Doubtfire," ostensibly meant to poke fun at the serious problem of denying transgender people health insurance coverage for medical treatment:
In response, the LGBT equality group Basic Rights Oregon launched a petition to end Fox's dehumanizing treatment of transgender people. By the morning of January 15, the image had been taken down and replaced with an image of a stethoscope:
Fox Nation has a history of using inflammatory and insulting images to degrade transgender people.

CAIRO — Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi offered nothing concrete to defuse the country's worst political crisis in nearly two years in a nationally televised speech late Thursday, refusing to rescind a disputed constitution drafted by his allies or his decrees giving him near absolute powers.
A night after thousands of his supporters and opponents fought pitched battles outside his Cairo palace that left at least six dead and nearly 700 injured, he angrily accused some of the opposition protesters of serving remnants of the old regime. He vowed never to tolerate anyone working for the overthrow of his "legitimate" government.
Some among the thousands of opposition protesters gathered near his palace raised their shoes in contempt as they listened to him. Others broke into the iconic Arab Spring chant of "the people want to topple the regime."
He also invited the opposition to a "comprehensive and productive" dialogue starting Saturday at his presidential palace, but offered no sign at all that he might offer them any meaningful concessions.
The opposition has already stated that it would not enter a dialogue with Morsi unless he first rescinds decrees giving him nearly unrestricted powers and shelves the constitution draft hurriedly adopted by his Islamist allies.
He said the referendum on the disputed charter, at the heart of the crisis, will go ahead as scheduled on Dec. 15 despite opposition demands to shelve the document.
He also refused to rescind his decrees of Nov.22 placing him above oversight of any kind, including by the courts, saying only that he was willing to annul one decree that gives him wide ranging powers to "protect" the nation and its revolution. He did not say how he would do that or give any other details.
Morsi, elected in June, was reading from prepared notes but frequently broke off to improvise. He wore a black tie in mourning for six people killed Wednesday in clashes.

A DIVAne Discovery
During a recent image search I stumbled upon The Fool and the Opera, a blog that accompanies a radio show serving up opera for beginners to the Melbourne audience. I have this blogger to thank for inadvertently introducing me to a wonderful operatic artist, one I had never heard of, let alone seen LIVE.
My discovery was soprano Paula Almerares. She certainly deserves more attention and awareness in the States. According to her website, she made her debut at the Teatro Colón in '93, as Antonia in Les Contes d'Hoffmann, sharing the stage with Spanish tenor Alfredo Kraus, and conducted by Julius Rudel.
Not surprisingly, she was awarded "The Best Argentine Singer" by the Argentine Association of Musical Critics and was the winner at the Belvedere's International Competition in Vienna, in '93.
She was invited by Domingo to perform L'elisir d'amore in Washington, D.C. with him. She has sung Il Barbiere di Siviglia at The Met, conducted by Yves Avel and Bruno Campanela.
If I were to compare her qualities to the greats, I'd say she has some shares some of those of Gencer, Caballé, and de los Angeles. You can clearly hear she was affected by those artists, although not in a copy-cat manner. Since I can't speak to her art via LIVE experiences, I highlight the qualities I see in her online audio/video excerpts. These don't give a sense of vocal size, and only offer part of the complete picture, but at least provide a relatively true glimpse.
The below video of Non so le tetre immagini, from Verdi's rarity Il Corsaro is ravishing. She has a dark, almost mezzo tonal quality, but with gossamer high notes that somehow emerge radiantly. She appears to be a somewhat wispy, delicate performer, with a graceful stage demeanor recalling Moffo. I love that she so savors this aria that she performs much of it with her eyes closed, something perhaps only Dessay would dare to do. It is an appropriately contemplative, inward, and personal approach. It appears to be from 2001, in Lecce, Italy.:
Next we see her as Liú, at Teatro Colón, Buenos Aires, singing easily my favorite Puccini aria: Signore, Ascolta! She is a bit wanting in characterization and truly operatic-scaled personality, and as a result I imagine she's not best suited to higher voltage roles, but possesses the plangent tone I most highly prize, and projects a sincere longing.:
And, finally her Je veux vivre, from R&J. This is a far less soubrettish rendition of this aria than we are used to, but a welcome one! When I compared this to most other contemporary renditions of this aria (on youtube and elsewhere), it comes out the clear winner for its believability and freshness.
I'd love to see/hear her in I Capuleti e i Montecchi, Linda di Chamounix, Die Zauberflote (Pamina), Luisa Miller, or I Puritani (these first three noted as current rep on her website).

Holidays are a time for celebration, decorations, and wonderful cooking, all of which can bring additional risks. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), an estimated 240 home fires involving Christmas trees and another 150 home fires involving holiday lights and other decorative lighting occur each year. Together, these fires result in 21 deaths and $25.2 million in direct property damage. By following these holiday safety tips you can help keep your family and home fire safe.
Christmas trees
• Select a fresh tree with green needles which are hard to pull back from the branches. The needles should not break if the tree has been freshly cut. The trunk should be sticky to the touch. Old trees can be identified by bouncing the tree trunk on the ground. If many needles fall off, the tree has been cut too long and, has probably dried out, and is a fire hazard.
• Place your tree away from a heat source, including a fireplace or heat vent. The heat will dry out the tree, causing it to be more easily ignited by heat, flame or sparks. Never use candles to decorate a tree and be careful not to drop or flick cigarette ashes near a tree. Do not put your live tree up too early or leave it up for longer than two weeks. Keep the tree stand filled with water at all times.
• Never put tree branches or needles in a fireplace or wood burning stove. When the tree becomes dry, discard it promptly. The best way to dispose of your tree is by taking it to a recycling center or having it hauled away.
• Ensure that all indoor and outdoor holiday lights are marked with the UL symbol. Throw away any set with cracked lights, frayed cords, or loose or damaged sockets. Don't overload electrical outlets or run extension cords under carpets, across doorways, or near heaters. Be sure extension cords aren't pinched behind or under furniture, and unplug all decorative lights before leaving your home or going to bed.
• Never run extension cords across lawns, driveways, or traffic areas. Power for all outdoor lighting should be supplied by permanent weatherproof wiring installed by a professional electrician.
• If you use candles, never carry them around, make sure they are in stable holders and place them where they cannot be easily knocked over. Never leave them unattended, and never leave the house with candles burning.
• Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.
• If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you're cooking.
• Keep anything that can catch fire - potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper or plastic bags, food packaging, towels, or curtains - away from your stovetop. Even electric glass top stoves can ignite materials that accidently left on top a hot burner.
• Keep the stovetop, burners, and oven clean.
• Plug microwave ovens and other cooking appliances directly into an outlet. Never use an extension cord for a cooking appliance, as it can overload the circuit and cause a fire.
One last note never put wrapping paper in the fireplace. Wrapping paper in the fireplace can result in a very large, fast forming fire overwhelming the small confined space of fire place, throwing off dangerous sparks and embers that may result in a fire.
Best wishes for a happy and safe holiday!

I'm wondering why I shouldn't be able to do the same.
Do I need a MIDI Shield?
s my Arduino UNO USB connector enough?
I'll take a look at Leonardo
is there a way to avoid even the camera connector and plug directly into the iphone with the 30 pins connector?
However the Arduino Leonardo can be made to look like a MIDI port, I would use that along with a Camera interface connector to the iPhone.
#define USB_DEVICE_CLASS_COMMUNICATIONS 0x02#define USB_DEVICE_CLASS_HUMAN_INTERFACE 0x03#define USB_DEVICE_CLASS_STORAGE 0x08#define USB_DEVICE_CLASS_VENDOR_SPECIFIC 0xFF
Is that in 1.0.2,
You will need to make up a special lead from the arduino's USB to the right pins on the connector. I don't know off hand what these are numbered.

Justin.tv Spinoff Twitch Raises $20M for Live Video Gaming
Live video gaming platform Twitch has been on a growth tear this past year and has raised $20 million from investors to rip it up some more.
Unlike competitors Ustream, LiveStream, YouTube and others enabling individuals and companies to broadcast video to the masses, Twitch is focused on just one category: gaming. The company provides an online platform and community for gamers that features live streaming gaming events, personal streams of individual players in action, and talk shows dedicated to gaming.
Individual players who bring in large audiences to watch them play get a portion of revenue generated from advertisements on their stream. The company says some gamers are earning six-figure salaries by gaming full time on the Twitch platform, and it expects the number of gamers to grow when Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4 consoles launch this fall and gamers can broadcast and view Twitch content with a single button.

South Africa recalls 500,000 HIV test kits: ministry
South Africa is recalling 500,000 HIV test kits it ordered from a South Korean company despite a World Health Organisation (WHO) warning over inconclusive results, the health ministry said Tuesday.
Authorities are investigating how the SD Bioline tests were ordered earlier this year after the WHO issued notices in November last year, health spokesman Joe Maila said.
"The set order was about 500,000, and all of them have been recalled as a precaution," Maila told AFP.
The South Korean company issued a recall after the WHO again in June flagged the problem.
South Africa, which launched a massive HIV testing campaign in 2010, had already begun using the finger-prick test kits. The WHO said the kits did not return false results but were plagued by inconclusive readings.
"The test displayed an unacceptably high rate of invalid test results.... Thus no test interpretation is possible and so one is likely to have no result rather than an incorrect result," the organisation said.
South Africa has the world's largest HIV caseload, with six million people currently living with the virus.
Local media reported the tests had been bought for 22.5 million rands ($2.8 million, 2.2 million euros).

Here's Rihanna, leaving lunch at Da Silvano in NYC (a restaurant she seems particularly fond of), carrying both a pastel blue Christian Dior Lady Dior Bag and a pink Christian Dior Addict Tote. Apparently she carried both, exactly like that, throughout the entire day. Oh, Ri-Ri! The sum total contents of both bags was probably an iPhone and some gum, which just makes us like her more, somehow.
If you want to peruse the rest of Rihanna's incredibly expansive designer handbag collection, you should absolutely check out "The Many Bags of Rihanna" and "The Many Bags of Rihanna, Part 2″. And if that doesn't quench your thirst for all things Rihanna, you can also swing by our sister site Shoes and check out "The Many Shoes of Rihanna" Shoes.

Some thoughts on the Google/Verizon deal
As a long-time Web technologist, one of the many creators of the Semantic Web technology recently being put into use by Google, and a government expert on the Internet and Web, I find myself worried about the reported deal emerging between Google and Verizon. If, as reported, this would truly allow the differential handling of packets based on pay, then it would clearly be a threat to the net as we know it, and a potential disaster for the small smart-ups and freelance Web developers that are so important to our technology's eco-system.
It is certainly within Google's right to make money, and to use the Web technologies that were freely donated to the world by people like myself or, significantly more importantly Tim Berners-Lee (a strong proponent of net neutrality). However, allowing preferential packet routing provides a means for the control and exploitation of these technologies that goes beyond the original intent.
The social affects are also quite worrying. I don't see how a deal like this can avoid increasing the width of the digital divide between those who can afford enhanced service and those who can. It also seems like it will have different impacts in some societies than others, making Web behaviors even less predictable, and more susceptible to government control, than they are today.
Within the US, practice has maintained net neutrality where legislators have been remiss and where the courts have rightly been unwilling to impose policy in in the absence of legislation. The Google-Verizon deal has been reported by some Google fans as Google reaching a compromise with Verizon that might otherwise allow the latter to impose its own models, and by some others as Google clearly violating their own "do no evil" motto. Either way, it is a worrisome deal that is likely to set the precedent for many others, and to scare legislators from doing what they should: As a candidate, President Obama's commitment was to net neutrality, stating that he would be second to no one as a proponent of a free and open Internet. The Democratic Congress has not rallied to the President's side on this, nor have the Republicans rallied to their stated goal of providing a fair playing field for startup industry. The action taken by large companies to set their own rules is likely to cause these gun shy legislators to take an opposing action in a year where so many are fighting for re-election.
So I find myself joining those who are calling on Google minimally for more transparency into what is happening and preferably to continue their own opposition to preferential charging. In 2006 Google urged Americans to "take action to preserve Internet freedom." Today their policy blog is surprisingly silent on the reported negotiations. My motivation to call on Google for at least a response comes from their own call – it is an action I take to preserve Internet freedom.
As a corporation dependent on the Internet for communication, on the start-ups for continued innovation, and on academic researchers to keep a flow of new Web technologies transitioning into practice, I hope Google will heed their own call to action and will do the right thing.

The Blueprints Made Me Do It
I think someone may have misread the blueprints on this job. Somehow, this junction box ended up right in the middle of this wall. In fact, it appears as though the wall was constructed right around the box. Maybe it was the electrician, or maybe it was the carpenter who made the mistake. But no matter who did it, it's still classified as a Code violation — because it's virtually impossible to access the wiring in this box without having to bust open the wall.
Section 314.29 states, "Boxes, conduit bodies, and handhole enclosures shall be installed so that the wiring contained in them can be rendered accessible without removing any part of the building or, in underground circuits, without excavating sidewalks, paving, earth, or other substance that is to be used to establish the finished grade." We could also say this installation violates 314.20, which requires boxes employing a flush-type cover or faceplate installed in walls or ceilings with a surface of concrete, tile, gypsum, plaster, or other noncombustible material, to be "installed so that the front edge of the box, plaster ring, extension ring, or listed extender will not be set back of the finished surface more than a ¼ in."
Skeletons in the Closet
Or should I say handhole? I chose this photo in keeping with the Halloween spirit of October. You must agree that it's pretty creepy!
I got called to an office building to troubleshoot why all of the parking lot lights had suddenly stopped working. The circuit breaker was tripped. This is what I found in the process of opening all of the handholes on the poles in order to check the circuit wiring.
This poor squirrel had gotten itself inside this pole by pulling off the pole cap and then climbing down the inside of the pole. A tree next to the pole provided easy access for the squirrel to get on top of the light fixture and the pole. Unfortunately, once he was inside, he couldn't get himself out. So he did what most rodents do — begin to gnaw on the wire insulation. Once the time clock turned on the power to this 277V circuit, it was "lights out" for the poor squirrel.
On a different note, there is actually a Code violation here. The white tape used to identify the insulated 8 AWG grounded conductor is a violation of 200.6(A). White or gray markings at wire terminations are permitted for 4 AWG and larger conductors in accordance with 200.6(B)(4).
