I've tried most of what I could find and found them never satisfying, especially the layout. (With due respect to the creators nonetheless!)
Then, I started thinking that I'd probably spend much less time just manually generating an image for it myself and use it as splash image. And since I'm quite adept in css, I decided to do it in html/css, so that I can easily change it if my hotkeys change. Call it semi-manually.
I gather now that if I would have started out like that, the time needed to create and update this in my whole life, would be less than looking for or trying to make an all-round automatic one myself.
Anyway, it's here now and I'd like to share it with you.
If you like to have one yourself, just go over to this page on my attic, download the package and edit the self-explanatory HTML to match your buttons, possibly add your own custom icons.
(You may share your own icons with me if you like; I'll update the package ... if they are nice ;-p )
Then take a screenshot and use the script below to use it as a Buttons Help Overlay.

I hope you peeps like it so I can return something for all the help I got here.

Would u use what ever u have whether is cotton or not (polyester for example ) as the backing ( face 2) of a quilt and why??
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Would u use what ever u have whether is cotton or not (polyester for example ) as the backing ( face 2) of a quilt and why??
No. The fabrics wear different.
I have, in the past, used a poly cotton sheet, if I couldn't find a cotton one, but they were mostly small quilts. I have also backed several lap quilts with fleece for warmth.
Yes, main r small about 18" square or soOriginally Posted by Lacelady
I have a couple of quilts that I did using many of the fabrics left from my grandmother's sewing scraps. There was double knit, poly, satin, tafeta, cotton... and probably anything else she would have used. They turned out great and wash very well. I've had no trouble with any of them
although i am very picky about the backs of my quilts i have used many different backing materials---some minkee---some fleece- some flannel- even corduroy- microfiber suede-
i choose the backing to go with the quilt--although i do not tend to use regular polyester fabrics- if that was what was going to work i would-
my only concern is making sure all can be cared for together- and who it is going to - how it will be cared for-
and i've made a few polyester quilts- for picnic/beach quilts- for the kids to make forts- go everywhere quilts-
i just make sure the fabrics in a quilt can all be cared for together- everything has to be wash/dry(able)
i have wool/silk quilts that are wonderful- with doublesided thick great flannel on the back-
i have quilts with silks, satins, cottons...
when deciding what to use in a quilt first think about who it is for/how it will be used and cared for- then choose your materials to work for that use/care---polyester holds up very well to frequent washings, wears like steel, does not shrink or fade---and pretty much stays the same as it is for it's life---(as in it does not soften up like cottons do)
i have used different types of fabric on the back. i don't expect most of my quilts to last for generations, so whatever works at the time will last as long as it will last.

My heart races like freight train of love ready to go off the rails. I have faith we will all stand together. They are trying to fabricate the darkest hour. Turn your lights on them.
But reform will never happen as long as everyone is paralyzed by fear.
How many well-meaning and reasonably educated people were convinced it was the "end of days" during the "bloodiest" moments of World War II?More than a few, I suspect.Yet here we still are, well over half a century later.That's not to say reform isn't needed. It is needed. It's needed desperately.But reform will never happen as long as everyone is paralyzed by fear.
That's right! We need informed, strong and active people. Forget the globalist fearmongering. They want you paralyzed by fear. Don't give in to that. Get informed, get a spine, be prepared and keep informing others!The globalists are who need to be fearful of you THE PEOPLE! Stand up! We are winning!
Did the world end ?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ biblical prophesy is that Christ is to return "sometime after" the fourth tetrad ... Sept 28 2015. Come Lord Jesus come.
Since John's conception was on June 23rd or 24th, his birth would be somewhere around March 28th or 29th in the year 4 B.C. Therefore, Christ's birth would be on the 28th or 29th of September in that same year. Examining a calendar for the year 4 B.C., we find that September 29th just happened to be the first day of the feast of tabernacles or the 15th of Tis-ri.
In what year was Y'shua born?Here is where the third component of the timepiece is required. Those who neglect to interpret the crown of twelve stars on Virgo's head as celestial body like unto the sun and moon that also makes its passage through the constellation miss out on this necessary third indicator. Dr. Martin interpreted the crown of twelve stars on Virgo's head as a fixed attribute of Virgo herself, a further identification of Virgo as the sign in the Zodiacal circle which is at the head of the twelve signs. She is indeed at the head of the twelve, but to interpret the crown as a fixed attribute is not consistent with the language of the verse.A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.Revelation 12:1The position of the sun is given, Then the position of the moon is given. Then the position of the crown of 12 stars is given. They are all of the same kind: Celestial bodies in motion through the constellation Virgo seen in a moment of time. Although the identities of the sun and moon are obvious, being known by these exact names, the identity of the crown of twelve stars is not because it is a symbolic reference.What celestial body may be seen passing through the region of Virgo's head that is symbolized as a crown of twelve stars? jupiter! How is the crown of twelve stars the planet Jupiter? A crown is a symbol of a king, or, the authority to rule. Jupiter has long been known as the King planet, the ruling planet. the King planet revolves about the sun once every 12 earth years, marking it Very obviously with the number 12. Since there are 12 signs of the Zodiac and Jupiter requires 12 years for one full circuit, it may be seen in each of the zodiacal constellations for one year at a time. This is precisely the kind of information we need to be able to tell time from the celestial configuration in Revelation 12:1! Now we know which year Y'shua was born because it is in only one year in twelve that the King planet may be observed in the region of Virgo's head! with this information, even given the broad range historians suggest as they disagree on the dating of this event, it leaves us only one year as a possible candidate: 2 BC. I have one final observation to make about Jupiter as represented by a crown of twelve stars. As Jupiter traces a path through the ecliptic, its progression is marked by elliptical retrograde motion. This means that, in each year-long Visit to a constellation, it traces an elliptical figure like a crown. It had just finished tracing such a crown over the head of Virgo (in Leo) at the birth of our Lord in the fall of 2 BC!The Author's use of symbolism helped obscure the nature of this celestial prophecy for a Very long time, and the misinterpretation of the symbol has further kept the year from being properly identified. like I mentioned earlier, I had made the same mistake in misinterpreting the meaning of the crown until J.R. Church called me one day way back in 1992 asking about when Jupiter would have been seen in Virgo's head. When I checked and saw Virgo clothed with the sun, the moon beneath her feet and jupiter on her head in Tishri 2 BC, I realized the significance of his insight! Jupiter was indeed the crown of 12 stars, and the interpretation of the three indicators was consistent! Dr. Martin had a tremendous revelation, but erred in his conclusion because he missed a significant detail. Although J.R. Church had the insight into this last important detail, it is an unfortunate fact that he has since turned to adopt the View of Dr. Martin in concluding that the designated year is 3 BC. What difference does it make what year Y'shua was born? Does it really matter whether it was one year or the other? Yes! It is the difference between truth and error. Every scheduled event and every detail of it has a purpose.Although no one else I know who is teaching about the celestial sign of Revelation 12:1 varies from Dr. Martin's conclusion, there are those who have, like myself, determined that 2 BC is the correct year and september 29 the day by the reckoning of the Western calendar. Three of note are Stephen E. Jones, Chuck Missler and Stewart Best. Another gentleman, a physicist by the name of John Zajac has recently determined the same by close examination of the Great Pyramid at Giza. (See http://www.europa.com/~edge/giza.html) his conclusion about the date of our Lord's crucifixion is in agreement with what I have determined by correlating celestial and scriptural revelation. a Web page you can read online with some historical references that point to September 29, 2 BC as the day of our Lords' birth is http://144000.net/birth.htm.

Parts of the UK are facing soaring levels of air pollution as African dust mingles with city pollution, prompting health officials to issue warnings to vulnerable people. Much of the South East and eastern England will see high levels of pollution, although the problem is expected to be short-lived, with Atlantic winds dispersing the murky air by Saturday, the Environment Department (Defra) said. "Blood rain" is the term used when rain mixes with sand from deserts. Storms in the Sahara desert whip up sand into a fine dust which is carried for more than 2,000 miles to Britain. When the rain falls it looks a reddish colour and when it dries it leaves a thin layer of dust capable of coating houses, cars and garden furniture. Although it is more common in Spain and the South of France, it has been known to travel longer distances and fall in areas like Scandinavia. In some parts of India the colour has been vibrant enough to stain clothing....

UNITED NATIONS (AP) U.N. experts have visited a government military hospital in Damascus in response to the Syrian government's allegations of a chemical weapons attack against soldiers.
U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said the inspectors interviewed patients Friday to assess the merits of Syria's allegations and determine whether to launch an investigation.
Syrian officials say soldiers were hospitalized after chemical weapons attacks on Aug. 22, 24 and 25 in Damascus suburbs.
Any U.N. investigation into Syria's claim is unlikely to happen soon. The inspectors are set to leave Syria on Saturday after completing an investigation into an alleged Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack near Damascus.
The Obama administration says 1,429 people died in that attack and accuses Syrian government forces of carrying it out.
Syria's government denies it was behind the attack.

Austina Jordan, Emmanuel College's Director of Library Services, is participating in the 2012-13 College Library Directors Mentor Program.
Jordan has been a librarian at Emmanuel since 2007 and was promoted to director this year. She is paired with mentor Oakley Coburn, Library Dean at Wofford College.
Jordan says this opportunity affords her the opportunity to learn from another library director who has several years of experience and knowledge.
"Networking is a vital part of the work of librarians," Jordan says. "We are constantly seeking new ways to share resources and provide better access to our patrons, and the networking we do often opens new doors for our campus community.
"It is so helpful to have a seasoned library director to share ideas with, to get advice from and find new direction and innovation for the Shaw Leslie Library," Jordan adds.
The program was established to help equip first-year library directors to be effective leaders and to meet the challenges that come with directing a library at a small college.
"As we are looking for ways to enable our library to be a welcoming place for scholarship and related activities, I am very excited that Austina will be able to participate in this mentoring program," says Dr. John Henzel, Vice President for Academic Affairs at Emmanuel. "This can only help in her role as library director and all college constituents who share in the services our library provides."
Jordan says she also looks forward to building relationships with more than 20 others in the program at the January seminar in Seattle.

People with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities1 have the right to choose their own expressions of spirituality, to practice those beliefs and expressions and to participate in the faith community of their choice or other spiritual activities. They also have a right to choose not to participate in religious or spiritual activity.
Spiritual or religious activities are seldom recognized as an important aspect of life or included in individual planning for people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. Some individuals may need assistance to participate in their chosen spiritual activities or faith communities.
Individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and their families also face a mixed response from faith-based communities, even though many faith communities have established model programs and strategies for including people with disabilities. Spiritual resources and faith communities are an underused resource in the community for people to exercise choice, develop relationships and social networks, demonstrate respect for cultural and family backgrounds, and serve others.
Spirituality, spiritual growth and religious expression that respect a person's history, tradition and current preferences are rights that must be honored by service systems and faith-based communities, as should the choice not to participate.

FDA Advisory Committee Recommends Approval of HETLIOZ™ for the Treatment of Non-24-Hour-Disorder (Non-24) in the Totally Blind
HETLIOZ™ is the First Potential Treatment to be Reviewed by the FDA for Non-24
Nov 14, 2013, 10:55 ET
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (VANDA) (NASDAQ: VNDA) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Peripheral and Central Nervous System Drugs Advisory Committee (Advisory Committee) voted overwhelmingly to recommend the approval of Vanda's New Drug Application (NDA) for tasimelteon, proposed tradename HETLIOZ™, for the treatment of Non-24-Hour Disorder (Non-24) in the totally blind.
The advisory panel found that:
- Non-24 is an appropriate indication for an FDA-approved therapy;
- the clinical endpoints are appropriate to support the indication;
- there is substantial evidence of tasimelteon efficacy in Non-24; and
- and the safety of tasimelteon in Non-24 has been adequately addressed.
"We are extremely pleased that the FDA's advisory committee has recommended that the FDA approve HETLIOZ™ for the treatment of Non-24 in the totally blind," said Mihael H. Polymeropoulos M.D., Vanda's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are now one step closer toward our goal of providing a treatment option that addresses the physiologic cause of this serious, debilitating orphan condition that impacts a majority of totally blind individuals."
Vanda's tasimelteon NDA is currently under Priority Review by the FDA for the treatment of Non-24 in the totally blind, with an action target date under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA-V) of January 31, 2014.
The FDA grants Priority Review status for a "drug that treats a serious condition and, if approved, would provide a significant improvement in safety or effectiveness" over current therapies. Currently, there is no approved treatment for Non-24 and HETLIOZ™ has the potential to address this unmet medical need.
About Non-24-Hour Disorder
Non-24 is a serious, rare, and chronic circadian rhythm disorder characterized by the inability to entrain (synchronize) the master body clock with the 24-hour day-night cycle. Non-24 affects a majority of totally blind individuals, or between 65,000 and 95,000 people in the U.S. Non-24 occurs almost entirely in individuals who lack the light sensitivity necessary to entrain the master body clock in the brain with the 24-hour day-night cycle. Most people have a master body clock that naturally runs longer than 24-hours and light is the primary environmental cue that resets it to 24 hours each day. Individuals with Non-24 have a master body clock that is not reset, and continually delays, resulting in prolonged periods of misalignment between their circadian rhythms and the 24-hour day-night cycle, including the timing of melatonin and cortisol secretion. As a result of this misalignment, Non-24 is associated with significant disruption of the sleep-wake cycle and impairments in social and occupational functioning, and marked subjective distress. Currently there is no approved treatment for Non-24. For more information on Non-24, please visit www.Non-24.com.
About Tasimelteon
Tasimelteon, proposed tradename HETLIOZ™, is a circadian regulator in development for the treatment of Non-24. Tasimelteon is a dual melatonin receptor agonist (DMRA) with selective agonist activity at the MT1 and MT2 receptors. Tasimelteon aims to reset the master body clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), resulting in the entrainment of the body's melatonin and cortisol rhythms to align to the 24-hour day-night cycle. The patent claiming Tasimelteon as a new chemical entity extends through December 2022, assuming a 5-year extension to be granted under the Hatch-Waxman Act. Tasimelteon has been granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of Non-24 from both the U.S. and the European Union. Tasimelteon has not been approved by the FDA or any other regulatory authority.

People do commonly say that the main issue with the 'holy trinity' is the tank role. It's unintuitive, unwieldy, and greedily snags a lot of the actual gameplay from PvE (ie. setting up pulls, et al).
But what my tank would really like for Xmas is a pet dps. I'm happy to run with player-healers, they're usually pretty cool. But my game would be so much more fun if I could have NPC dps instead of players. Imagine not having to fight with your group all the time. Or people yelling at you to gogogo. Or people jumping straight into fights before you have threat because that 0.5s at the beginning is oh-so-important for dps.
Plus since your base character is a tank, it'd be tough enough to solo comfortably anyway. (And same applies to healers since they can self heal.) So really, if you have to remove one role from the trinity, it's the dps that should go.

The video below shows a timelapse from the observatories atop Mauna Kea, in Hawaii. It is here that the world's largest optical telescopes, the Kecks, are built.
Be sure to click the four arrows (next to HD) in the video box the go to full screen.
Among the highlights of the video is the periodic firing of lasers from the telescopes into the heavens. What is going on here?
Sean Goebel, who shot the video during seven nights this spring and summer, explains:
The lasers are real. They're used for adaptive optics. Just as waves of heat coming off pavement blur out the detail in faraway objects, winds in the atmosphere blur out fine detail in the stars/galaxies/whatever is being observed. This is the reason that stars twinkle. The laser is used to track this atmospheric turbulence, and one of the mirrors in the telescope bends hundreds of times per second in order to cancel out the blurring. Adaptive optics is pretty cool, and was the topic of my first 8-month research project in graduate school. A typical laser pointer that you might use to point at stuff/exercise your cat is about 5 mW. That's five one-thousandths of a watt. Not a whole lot of power. And yet it's enough to blind airplane pilots.
The lasers on the telescopes are in the range of 15-40 watts. The FAA calls a no-fly zone over the area when a laser is in use, and two people have to stand around outside in the freezing temperatures and watch for airplanes. Each of them has a kill switch to turn off the laser in case an airplane comes near. Additionally, the telescope has to send its target list to Space Command ahead of time. Space Command then tells them not to use the laser at specific times, ostensibly to avoid blinding spy satellites. However, you could calculate the spy satellite orbits if you knew where they were at specific times, so Space Command also tells the telescope to not use the laser at random times when no satellites are overhead.
Adaptive optics has allowed for substantial improvement in the observations made by ground-based telescopes.

New LA Galaxy assistant coach Pat Noonan learned from some of MLS' finest coaches during his nine year career in MLS and he is hoping to take a little of each of them in his new coaching venture.
Noonan elected to retire during the offseason after his first season with the Galaxy and immediately filled the vacated assistant coach slot previously by new club Technical Director Jovan Kirovski. During his nine year career in MLS, Noonan received a first-hand coaching clinic as he learned from three of MLS' most storied bosses—Steve Nicol (New England Revolution), Sigi Schmid (Columbus Crew and Seattle Sounders FC), and Bruce Arena (LA Galaxy).
In his first preseason with the club, Noonan has been a regular with the Galaxy as he helps the staff lead them through fitness drills and even participating in jogs across the training ground.
Noonan discusses what he hopes to take from each of the three coaching legends below…
(On Bruce Arena…)
NOONAN: "I learned how a great coach handles adversity. Halfway through the year I think we were at the bottom of the table or close to it in the Western Conference, and he never once panicked. He kept his cool as did Curt and Dave and the players fed off that. At no point did he say I doubt that we can get in the playoffs or win a championship. He said it's only a matter of time and we're going to get in the playoffs and have a chance to win a championship, and he was right. I think that calmness was something I really admired and took note of."
(On Sigi Schmid…)
NOONAN: "With Sigi, it was his passion to want to win and his coaching ability. Much like Bruce he's very organized and has a great support staff. Like Bruce he cares so much about the players and the organization and he wanted to win. You admire that."
(On Steve Nicol, his coach with New England…)
NOONAN: "Stevie Nicol was another coach I had for a long time. A very laid-back guy, as much of a player's coach as you'll find. Do whatever you want as long as you're ready to come on game day to perform."

I have been pulling appart my PDA and studying the insides to see what type of upgrades are posible, i thoght it would be a good idea to put them all in the one place as well as give you some more info on how easy they are to do.
Easy to do, it seems that intels manufacturing capabiliteies produce alot of good chips. i have yet to see a pxa270 that cant be clocked to at least 520Mhz, all the ones i have had have been able to do 624Mhz. the trade off is that the power consumtion shoots throgh the roof. bus speeds of 312mhz are easy to get but are of limited usefullness, if you try wierd clock speeds you can also increse the ram bus in small increments however the LCD screen ether tends to flicker or darkens at anything below 100Mhx (LCD clock) and scince the lcd clock is linked to the cpu one, wierd CPU freq's = wierd LCD freq
its easy to test for this one, just get your self an applet that sits in the tray and try out the diffrent speeds, then do a bit of work and try to get the cpu up to 100 usage, if it hangs try a diffrent freq. the good thing about this is when you reboot the chip goes back to its normal speed so it would be hard to stuff somthing up permantly (no garantee here)
Ram Upgrade:
The chips are from samsung and are from the "mobile SD-RAM" catagory, meaning they top out at 512Mb. this translates to a maximum of 128MB in your C*k, there are pin compatible parts but are ball grid array (hard to solder) and are slightly wider and may not fit (still have to mesure) on the plus side they consume very little extra current (the larger chips that is) and are slightly faster, but no anything you would notice.
it would also be posible to raise the RAM bus speed as you could buy a faster chip than the zaurus currently has to see a speed boost. the current chips are running at aout 104mhz, the next speed bracket for RAM BUS speed is 208Mhz so you would need a good chip to hit this mark. but there would be a noticble gain in performance
[EDIT] I found a way to solder new chips easily, my original thoght was to use a daghter board only for RAM sizes > 128MB however if you always use a daghter board then you can postion the board over the removed ram's holes and apply solder down the vias, this works for soldering the ram chips to the daghter board as well meaning you can do this with a normal soldering iorn, i need to talk to some people but all sounds good at the moment, "no skills required" and best of all it would work for any PDA based on a PXA chipset, this would also mean you could use surface mount or BGA RAM parts, just buy the correct daghter board, you could even salvage RAM from old SDRAM sticks, 1GB here i come [/EDIT]
[EDIT]Looking good, may move to a seperate thread as it can be usod on basically any PDA HOWEVER anything over 128MB gets large quickly and would chew alot of juice (in other words i cant wait to try it), the daghter board at the moment is the size oy a small clamshell in theroy (in practice et mmay be slightly larger) the problem is that the pxa27x dosent play nice with stupidly large RAM (i had to say it) eg > 512Mbit and supports only a few select configorations [/EDIT]
Flash upgrade:
The big daddy of all upgrades. The good news: the 16Gb chip is pin compatible with the current chips in your pda and you can have 2 (16Gb = 2GB). however the bad news is that there may be software issues present. if the pxa boots from this flash then it should be easy to upgrade, however if it boots from ROM then there may be an issue. i suspect the second as the chip is 8bits and the pxa needs a 16bit or 32 bit chip to boot
the problem is that the setup code might incorectly set up the chip. i will have to look into this but i am sure there is a work around. one side affect of 2 chips is the bus width could be doubled, as well as using chips that are twice as fast so there would be a read performance increses as well as a tiny write speed one
[EDIT] Still possible need stupidly large flash chips (like from a broken nano) as i want to see the max capacity we can use, i might see if i can go into an apple store and buy a broken nano (yeah i am sure they wont let me, unless i say im to poor to buy one but want to look like an idiot^H^H^H^H^H cool apple guy) [/EDIT]
The one we have all been wating for, for those of you who dont know what it is i will give a quick rundown of it.
It is a video card that supports 32MB of SDRAM, video out, OPEN GL ES, accelerated video decoding of divx,Xvid,WMV. It allows playback of 2Mbps Xvid streams of 720 * 480 pixels downscaled to 640 * 480 on the axim x50v, with cpu cycles to spare on an external compuer monitor. with the main CPU clocked at a slow 208Mhz this translates to about 3.5 hours of video (you get about 1hr or less if you dont use the video card and you have to clock the device up to 624Mhz).
I leraned about this when i was reviewing a post i made concerning CF read writes impacting the bandwidth of the SD RAM (because they both share the same data bus). when i looked at the 2700g specs i relised that nearly all the pins i needed to interface it to the CPU where avalible at the CF socket, mainly address pins and data pins. the rest were easily accsessable scince i was going to think aobut upgrading the memorey as well
after overclocking this would be the second easyiest mod to achive as it would plug into the cf socket and require soldering a couple of extra wires (less than any other mod) that are esy to get acsess to. and if you own the c1k it would be easy to put the card where the microdrive would sit. you would also still be able to use the socket for CF cards as well however most likly not at the same time unless you do not mind plugging the cf card into an adaptor underneath the zaurus
[EDIT] superceded but still posible, could be handy due to the crappy usb update speed, see below i would like some feedback into which you wold prefer [/EDIT]
[EDIT] Still posible, need both chips and to locate 1 I) line, moved to seperate thread see: https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=18131 for my hacking info [/EDIT]
Video Out:
the father of the mod above, this may be posible because of the way the pxa spits data at the LCD screen, it provides everything you need to interface to an external DAC ( Digital 2 analog converter) that would connect to a standard monitor cable, alowing a mirror image of whatever is on screen and if you are willing to turn of the LCD screen when you plug a monitor in you would be able to get 800 * 600 on it by tweaking some registers
[EDIT] Meanie has got a sis usb video card to work, i would love to see an x server or console running on this however i am prepared to wait, hopfully with a bit of hacking i can get it to compile under a 2.6 ARM kernel (its in the mainline now), so basically it superceddes this and the 2700G hack as it is a full video card, hopfully with opengl but i wouldnt hold youre breath but it is the best video out sulution for the zaruses info at http://www.winischhofer.at/linuxsisusbvga.shtml https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11129&st=15 support at the moment is for slideshows only (under 2.4 zaurus kernels that is), oh and you may be able to hack it for dual head support lets see an axim do that!!! [/EDIT]
the pxa has a serial port dedicated for use with a bluetooth chip. it would be posible to get a usb dongle and use ether the serial port or the usb port to connect it up. once again this is easy to do but could be hard to find space in your pda case to fit it
[EDIT] I now have a tiny bluetooth dongle tahts a bit larger than the usb port it is soldered ta and am about to give it a go with the USB hack below which supercedes this hack due to it working with everything USB bassed [/EDIT]
Internal USB
see https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13562&st=150 for discussion or http://www.iral.com/~albertr/linux/zaurus/wireless/ for details however it bassically is a USB port that you can solder onto that is not being used, want wifi.... fine, want bluetooth.... fine, want 2 wifi cards and a bluettoth for some unique wifi always on hotspot hopping (or MITM stuff )..... Ok, my plans are to build a docking station ar if i can pull it off redesighn the bottom for more space.
Just when you thoght it could not get any better you hear about this, umagine shaking your PDA to play a new random song, or moving it clockwise to go foward in your playlist and anti clockwise to go back. how about tilting the pda to move the mouse? if you heard about accelerometers in the new laptops then this is taking it to the next step.
a laptop would be hard to tilt around to use as a mouse for an extended period of time however a pda is much liter, and there are times where i am using the keyboard and have to take out the stylis tap the screen and put eit away again, why cant i just tilt the PDA? i am looking into this but it looks like all i have to do is wire an analg devices gyroscope/accelerometer to the SPI port in the pda and write a driver
as a side effect i will now know when i should park the harddrive heads
the accelerometer would be handeled diffrently, it would be a mice interface as well but i was thinking that a user daemon would connect to it and interpret diffrent movments to mean diffrent things (eg wax on/off, shaking the device, shaking the devie left/right - up/down) all while holding a button so you can go for a jog without setting it off
the best thing for me is the accelerometer/mouse with MPD so i can go without X and still have all the benifits (thogh with 1GB of ram that may not be much of a prblem any more)
Cell Phone Hack
I am sure you are aware that you can connect to the net using a cellphone and a laptop, however you can also do the same thing from your PDA, and use it to send/recive text messages. also (thogh unconfirmed) you may be able to set up the zaurus as a answering machine for your phone (if you want to, im sure some people are happy with voice mail) by using the mgetty packages (requires a voice modem, thats why unconfirmed if not voice modem then plug into audio port) basically you take the serial port on the back of your pda and wire it up to a phone (clamshell works best as you can remove the screen) or plug into usb
you might run out of space but thats why im building a new case/docking station
This is just a list of what we might be able to do, if you are intrested in technical details get in touch but keep in mind that none have been achived yet. also feature listed here may be imposible to implement but i have made estimates of what can be done. i am also intrested in what you would like to see as that will influence what i work on, i dont expect to see more than 2 finished by the end of this year unless i am lucky or some one else works on one.

Even animals can't escape the irresistible lure of
tacos, no, brews and buffalo wings. A deer crashed into a Taco Mac near Atlanta a few days ago, shocking customers as it broke windows and jumped around the restaurant, which was full of football fans eating late lunch and watching games, station WYFF reported.
The poor deer lost an antler during the incident, but no human diners were injured, other than a few nicks from the broken glass.
The Huffington Post notes, "This isn't the first time that an animal has entered a restaurant. Earlier this year, a black bear raided a pizza joint in Canada, devouring a slice of pie before being ushered out the restaurant."

By Andy Hirsch
LEWISBURG, Pa. — With the cut of the orange and blue ribbon that was stretched in front of the recently renovated DeWitt Building, Bucknell capped its latest venture into downtown Lewisburg — building upon the already strong relationship between the University and the borough.
"The completion of the DeWitt Building is very special. I think this marks a true turning point in our local history," Bucknell President John Bravman told a crowd of more than 80 people who were invited to the dedication. "This serves as a perfect example of how a wonderful town and great university can work together."
Visitors will find Bucknell's Small Business Development Center on the building's third floor. The second floor is occupied by the new Bucknell University Entrepreneurs Incubator. And a large street-level window welcomes community members to the new Downtown Art Gallery, located on the ground floor.
The artists exhibited in the Downtown Art Gallery will differ from those in Bucknell's Samek Art Gallery, explained Richard Rinehart, director of the Samek.
"We will be able to use the resources of Bucknell to look at some of the great contemporary art that's being done around the world, and bring it here to Lewisburg for everyone to enjoy," Rinehart said.
The dedication of the DeWitt Building marks the completion of the fourth major renovation project Bucknell has taken on in the downtown area. The University is transitioning more than 60 employees to the Federal Building, also on Market Street. After acquiring the facility from the United States Postal Service, Bucknell completely renovated the 82-year-old building and brought life back to the upper floors, which sat virtually empty for more than a decade. The post office on the ground floor remains in place, complete with a new ramp for handicapped-accessibility.
Directly across from the DeWitt Building sits the Campus Theatre, which re-opened last summer after its own multimillion dollar renovation. And less than two years ago Bucknell restored what was once the C. Dreisbach's Sons Hardware Store on the northwest corner of Fourth and Market streets, moving its bookstore from campus to what is now the Barnes & Noble at Bucknell University bookstore.
"I thank Bucknell for respecting the roots of Lewisburg and preserving our historic buildings while, at the same time, building a bridge from the University to this storied downtown," said Lewisburg Mayor Judy Wagner. "Bucknell has opened great opportunities for our established businesses as well as for new businesses that wish to locate here. I can already feel renewed vibrancy as I walk down Market Street."
"It is truly remarkable, the transformations that have been brought about in all four of these buildings," Bravman said. "I think we've seen an important rebirth in the relationship between Bucknell and the Borough of Lewisburg."

Office Lighting Fixtures
Tiffany desk lamps can brighten your office, help you to concentrate, and are perfect for completing office duties. Pairing a task light with a torchiere lamp or floor lamp can make for a comfortable, friendly atmosphere. If you are looking for something adjustable, Pharmacy lamps can be lowered for reading or writing and heightened for general office lighting.
About Office
Office lighting should be taken seriously. Creating layers of office light with lamps, ceiling lights and wall lights can help you complete tasks in the office without straining your eyes. Too much office light can cause visual discomfort and might consume too much energy whereas inadequate lighting can compromise safety. Fluorescent lighting is a great option for office lighting because it has a long life, great color qualities, high efficiency, and provides a large radiant surface which helps minimize shadows. Proper office lighting should energize people and stimulate productivity.
- What type of lighting should I use when I'm on the computer?
Dim the fluorescent lights and use a softer background light such as a wall sconce, torchiere lamp, or floor lamp. LED lighting behind monitors can also help ease the bright glare emanating from the screen.
- I love looking out the window while working on the computer. Is this bad for my eyes?
Reflections and contrast ratios can often hurt the eyes. Bright daylight around the screen makes it difficult to see what is on the screen, so try placing the monitor perpendicular to the window to minimize high contrast and reflections.
- Where should I position overhead lighting?
Placing fixtures overhead to the right and left of the desk can help eliminate shadows. Placing fixtures in front of the desk can cause troublesome reflections.
- Can I use in-cabinet lighting in the office?
Yes! LED lights can be installed into/onto cabinet surfaces in your office. They offer energy-efficient lighting and can be left on for hours without jacking up your energy bill.
- Sometimes I feel like general lighting is too much, true or false?
Finding a happy medium with general lighting in the office is hard! Remember it's important layer your lighting in the office. So dim your general lighting to medium brightness so you can see what you're doing without being bothered by glare and include a task light in case you need to read documents.

Cyprus� parliament on Tuesday unanimously rejected a plan by the European Union and the International Monetary Fund to pay for a previous financial bailout: a one-time �special bank levy� that would take 6.75 percent out of all bank deposits up to 100,000 euros, and 9.9 percent above that. When Cypriots responded with outrage, the EU finance ministers reduced the percentages, placing most of the sacrifice on the wealthiest depositors, but the nation wasn�t fooled. This move wasn�t about degrees, but principles.
This was no �tax,� as the EU claimed, but an ad hoc seizure of private assets. It doesn�t matter how small the percentage is or to whom it is limited � once a government has a rationale for taking, without warning or due process, someone�s property, then the precedent is set that nobody�s assets are safe.
The Cypriot government responded appropriately by telling the EU �no deal,� but just the fact the idea was openly floated has rung alarm bells across other EU debtor nations.
Cyprus� size � a population of 1 million, its economy accounting for less than 1 percent of Europe�s GDP � is deceptive given its status as a major offshore financial center that in recent years has seen a significant increase in deposits from Russian and Ukrainian businesses, some of them of questionable repute.
Which should make other EU debtor nations, such as Italy, Spain and Portugal, particularly nervous. Perhaps Cyprus� resistance will persuade the EU to find alternative solutions.
The aborted Cypriot seizure, though, is like a near-death experience that should make everyone sit up and take notice. This isn�t some dark conspiracy theory, a game of �what if.� It was an actual proposal that shows how far the EU is willing to go (if not further). Who�s to say it will remain dead and buried? What prevents it from returning at a more fortuitous time, or with more seductive terms?
The message the EU just sent was: Your assets are not safe. It undermines confidence in insured deposits, a key function of modern banking. At worst, it inspires panics and runs on banks � people would rather put their money under their mattresses or bury it in coffee cans in the back yard, where only they can access it. At best, they transfer their wealth to safer havens in other countries, which creates a greater drag on the economy and further deepens a nation�s financial hole. There is no robust investment, no risk taking, no innovation or growth.
The United States is not yet in the dire financial straits of Cyprus or Greece; it still has time to reverse course. But the EU�s clumsy move shows what lies at the end of the current path of unlimited spending, and adds another degree of uncertainty and fear into global finances.
Congress would do well to pass legislation that prohibits government from these kinds of asset seizures � if only to iinject some confidence into the system.

Longoria's homer lifts Rays over Padres
St. Petersburg, FL – Evan Longoria hit a game-winning, two- run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Tampa Bay Rays pulled out an 8-7 victory over the San Diego Padres in the middle test of a three-game set at Tropicana Field.
Huston Street (0-2) blew the save while trying to hold a 7-6 San Diego lead heading into the ninth. The right-hander retired the first two batters he faced, but walked Ben Zobrist and then served up Longoria's clutch home run.
"It takes the team to be able to get you up to the plate in those opportunities, and fortunately enough I've been able to come through," Longoria said. "It doesn't get any better than being able to be in the moment and come through, so it feels good."
The Padres had taken the lead after scoring five runs in the seventh. Pinch- hitter Jesus Guzman hit a grand slam and Carlos Quentin walked with the bases loaded.
Tampa Bay starter Jeremy Hellickson entered the seventh with a four-run advantage, but loaded the bases and allowed Guzman's game-tying blast. Reliever Jamey Wright quickly filled the bags again, before Quentin walked to force in a run.
James Loney added a two-run shot and Yunel Escobar drove in two runs for the Rays, winners of four straight. Cesar Ramos (1-0) tossed 2 1/3 scoreless innings to pick up the win.
Tampa Bay led comfortably, 6-2, through six innings before Hellickson broke down in the seventh.
The right-hander had retired 16 consecutive San Diego batters following Yonder Alonso's first-inning single, but quickly loaded the bases with two outs thanks to issuing a walk and a pair of singles. The pinch-hitting Guzman then ended Hellickson's night by clubbing his 3-2 offering over the left field wall for a grand slam to tie the game at 6-6.
To make matters worse in the inning, Wright soon loaded the bases yet again. Everth Cabrera reached first on Zobrist's fielding error, and after he stole second, Wright plunked Will Venable. The next two batters, Chase Headley and Quentin, were also issued walks, with Quentin's giving the Padres a 7-6 lead.
"Hellickson was pitching so well after the first inning," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He had all his pitches working, so our guys hung in there, stayed in the game."
Cesar Ramos finally ended the dreadful inning by striking out Alonso.
Burch Smith, making his major league debut, lasted just one-plus frame and allowed six runs in the second on five hits for San Diego.
In the second, Smith showed signs of looking like a rookie, while Tampa Bay broke out the bats.
Longoria walked to lead off the frame and Loney followed with a home run to right to tie the contest at 2-2. Smith issued another walk to Luke Scott and the next two batters hit consecutive singles to load the bases.
Escobar's single through the left side scored two and Matt Joyce, the last batter Smith would face, plated a run with an RBI double to right. Tyson Ross relieved Smith and gave up Kelly Johnson's sacrifice fly to left, which rounded out the scoring for the hosts in the frame.
Headley smacked his fourth homer of the season, a two-run shot, to give the visitors a 2-0 lead in the first.
Game Notes
The Rays improved to 12-6 at home this season ... It was Longoria's ninth home run of the year ... San Diego optioned pitcher Brad Boxberger to Triple-A Tucson in order to have roster space for Smith ... Tampa Bay went 3-for-10 with runners in scoring position.

LINKOPING, Sweden, March 1 (UPI) -- Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer has given a $59 million contract to Saab of Sweden to upgrade Erieye Airborne Early Warning and Control systems.
The Erieye are used on Embraer's 145 AEW&C aircraft, which it is modernizing for the Brazilian air force. Brazil uses the 145 for air and border surveillance.
"Saab's Erieye AEW&C Mission system provides excellent surveillance capabilities and control over air and sea targets," said Micael Johansson, head of Saab's Electronic Defense Systems business area. "We are very proud to supply these systems to Brazil where it plays an important role in national security."
Saab said deliveries of the upgrade will begin next year and will continue until 2017.
The first Erieye AEW&C Mission System became operational on the Embraer aircraft in 2002. It was installed on Swedish air force planes in 1997 and is in use in Thailand and the United Arab Emirates.
Saab said the system is also installed on Saab 2000 aircraft that it is delivering to Pakistan.

Many people who call my office have legal problems for which it would not be cost-effective to hire an attorney. I often tell them they can pursue their claim in Small Claims Court if they so choose. Frank called to tell me he took my advice and won.
Frank first called me in December and wished me a Happy Festivus. He also told me of the transmission problems he was having with his '02 Explorer. I'm not sure if it was the Festivus greeting or the soft spot I have in my heart for Explorers, but I spent a bit of time on the phone with him. (His last name is not Costanza, BTW.)
He had brought his truck to a transmission shop in Wayne County and I recognized the name: I had sued them before. They had quoted him a price for a trans repair but had not put it in writing. After they tore down his trans they called him with the news. The cost to repair the trans had jumped from the $1,100 range up to $2,300. When he balked, they told him he would have to pay $450 to get his truck back.
I pointed out to Frank that the actions he described violated the Motor Vehicle Service and Repair Act and that if he went to small claims on his own, he could handle it and the case was pretty clear cut. I told Frank the citation for the law and he said he would call me with an update.
It wasn't all smooth sailing. At his first hearing before a magistrate, Frank didn't get a chance to get into the law. The transmission shop owner told the court that this is how he always does business and the magistrate ruled against Frank. But Frank, being one who observes The Airing of the Grievances, filed an appeal. And when he got in front of a judge, the judge read the law which Frank had brought with him. And then ruled in his favor.
Frank now has a Judgment against the transmission shop for the $450 plus the costs of filing the action. I told him to call me in a few weeks if the judgment isn't satisfied and I can walk him through the steps to make a defendant want to pay a judgment. I know the season of Festivus is behind us now but I like to think this was all part of a larger Festivus Miracle. Now, perhaps, it is time to take down the Festivus Pole.

Well if they can do all that…Wednesday, April 25th, 2007
The other day, here in my little town in Austria, we went to see Grease, Der Musical. I didn't really know what to expect, but I assumed the show would be in German. Since I don't speak German I don't know how to say greased lightning or you're the one that I want, but I was pretty sure I could recognize the tunes.
So we went.
Much to my surprise, the opening number was a language I recognized…English. Wow, I thought, this will be the first show I've ever seen over here where I would know what was going on. So far I've seen AIDA and Der Troubadour in German and I'm still not totally clear on those plots. I've seen some movies, too, and I think I need to see them again in English to really understand them.
So I'm tapping my foot along with Doo-wop-a-doo when, all of a sudden, out of the blue, there was a language switch and I was lost again. That's right, they sang the songs in English and spoke the lines in German. What a mess for a unilingual, like myself.
At intermission my son asked me if I thought they were from England or the United States. I told him I didn't have a clue but it sounded like they were from Germany to me.
"Nope," he informed me, "they speak it with a heavy accent."
"You don't have a heavy accent?" I asked my very American little boy.
"Nope," he informed me with great confidence.
So we headed out to the lobby and some of the actors were selling programs. We approached them and asked if they were English or American.
It seems strange that with all the English speaking countries in the world we only offer two choices. Then, when a third is offered by the questionee you feel stupid for not thinking of the other options.
"Well, actually," he informed us, "we're Canadian." Why didn't we think of that?
"Sorry," we offered with embarrassment, but I don't think it mattered. Luckily Canadians are a nice lot and I don't think it ruined his day.
So during the second half my mind wandered away from the show, which is easy to do when you don't understand the language that is spoken. Oh, I know the general plot since I've seen the movie, but it still gives a person lots of time between songs for the mind to drift away to thoughts in a more understandable language.
My thoughts ended up landing on this: "if they can be Canadian, speak perfect English, dance like Broadway stars, sing in perfect English, look cool and speak what I thought was perfect German, I can certainly learn how to master electronic media.
Yea…that's what I was thinking about while Rizzo was thinking she might be pregnant.
I was thinking about how many of us who are so comfortable with print production are afraid, not interested or too busy to make the leap over to the growing world of electronic media…websites, video, multi-media presentations or even ads for cell phones.
I'm concerned that many print production geniuses will eventually lose business to less print savvy freelancers who are adept at creating work that is truly crossmedia.
I believe the day is here, or very close, where the customers are going to want one source for everything, instead of working with two or three different agencies to meet the needs of both electronic and print media.
And if that's the trend for the hired guns, it won't be long before employers demand more from the workforce. Just as years ago you didn't have to know layout to write, photo manipulation to layout or page layout if you were a photographer, but now you do. It won't be long before employers expect a print-minded graphic artist to also build the website. Some are already feeling this.
Now is as good of a time as any to get started.
As I look at what Adobe's doing with CS3, it seems they are really trying to help us with the transition. They have done a good job of integrating the different worlds together, so as we veer into uncharted territory, there is some familiar ground on which to walk.
A good example of this is Bridge. If you've never used Bridge, I suggest you start. It is shared by so many of the applications that it can almost be your home base. And even if you don't know all the programs in the new Adobe world that well, if you poke around a little you might find what you're looking for in the Bridge.
For example, I got an email awhile back from someone who wanted to use Illustrator's Live Trace function on a bunch of progressive video frames to created a hand-drawn video cartoon affect. They didn't know Illustrator and didn't want to spend the time opening all those video files one-by-one and doing the trace. The question really was "Does Illustrator have Actions like Photoshop so I can do this faster?"Bridge. Save the video frames you want, select them in Bridge and go to Tools> Illustrator> Live Trace."
I'm not saying Bridge is THE tool. I'm only saying it's a great place to start finding common ground among the various apps. From there you can start learning how the tools you already know can be used for web and video creation.
It's also worth noting what apps are shipping in the Creative Suite 3 Design Premium…pretty much everything you need to start a print/web cross media business. InDesign for print, Dreamweaver for web, Flash for…uh…Flash (web, multimedia…) and the programs shared by both worlds including Photoshop, Illustrator and Bridge.
Oh, by the way, I just found out Rizzo isn't pregnant, after all…I think that's what's happening up there on stage.
You don't have to go it alone (I'm not talking about Rizzo, anymore). In the near future we will be doing training videos on taking your print expertise and familiarity with the Design Tools over to the other side…some would say the dark side.
We'll focus on how Photoshop and Illustrator can be used to help you create electronic media easier than you may have thought. We'll talk about how InDesign fits in to this scheme, too. And, of course, more about Bridge.
And the good news is, I'm convinced, that learning electronic media creation is a heap of a lot easier than learning to speak in German, sing in English and dance bilingually…with grease in your hair.
