← Tone-deafness, thy name is Moran.
It's not white trash, it's…retro.
My free inverter came with a rilly cool remote control/readout that absolutely does not work. Even though the whole thing is nearly 20 years old, new remotes are available but extremely expensive: Like in the ballpark of $500. And mostly what it does is control inverter modes I would PAY mine not to do. All I really want it to do is tell me what the $%^& battery voltage is. It won't do that, either.
I have looked and looked for a digital gauge that would tell me this. Even ordered one, but it turned out it couldn't handle the amperage. My multimeter has been permanently parked on top of the inverter for years, that being my only means of reading the voltage, and it's just ridiculous.
A few days ago I was in the auto parts store buying spark plugs for the Jeep.
I've said it before: I will go full redneck when I have to.
8 Responses to It's not white trash, it's…retro.
I don't know, I think it looks like a plenty elegant solution to me. Hell, its even got a chrome bezel; chrome NEVER goes out of style.
Well, analog works, kinda, but the digital readout is nice to know when you're above the magic 12.70v.
I just keep a HF cheapo multimeter hooked up.
Xantrex LinkPro) battery monitor. A little computer connected to a shunt programmed with Peukert's Equation beats the hell out of a voltmeter.
I'd put it on a switch tho, those old style analog gages eat juice. But it will last forever, Analog is king !
It's only redneck when it's still attached to part of the dashboard you tore it out of!
You'll find that that voltmeter eats power.
White trash? I'd call it inventive repurposing. I like it.
Spud and B have a point, although a proper voltmeter should consume insignificant power. I'd use the multimeter to measure the current draw of the analog voltmeter to see if the drain is acceptable. If you do so, please share, as inquiring minds wanna know.
I use a Midnight "State of Battery Charge" meter. It has led readout lights from 10-100% and also tells you the last time the battery was fully charged.
It works ok, but only tells what the current voltage is not necessarily the resting battery voltage. When the sun is out it reads the panel/charge controller voltage minus the inverter load. At night it reads the battery voltage minus the inverter load. You have to isolate the batteries and wait a few minutes to get a decently accurate voltage reading. All systems suffer from this, so just because some meter shows a full charge, it ain't necessarily so.
Do fully charge the batteries each day and use at least 20% and no more than 50% each night if you want the batteries to last through next winter.

Senate: A two-term limit enacted, four years each term. Half of the Senate would be elected/re-elected at the midway point of the remaining Senators' terms, thus Senate elections would occur every two years. The rotation would split any given state's delegation to the U.S. Senate.
House of Representatives: A two-term limit enacted, four years each term. Half of the House would be elected/re-elected at the midway point of the remaining House members, thus House elections would occur every two years.
Elimination of the electoral college: Only the popular vote decides. No more gaming the system utilizing swing states.
Supreme Court: Direct election of Supreme Court justices, two-term limits, four years each term. Justice campaigns are not allowed to run on political party platforms.
Lobbying: After their service, members of Congress and their staff should be permanently banned from accepting lobbying or career positions with firms in industries over which the Congressional member formerly legislated.
Congressional districts: Gerrymandering must be halted, with congressional districts based on counties, parishes, townships and other established borders – not arbitrary borders. Readjustments are allowed along recognized borders only when population shifts require them.
Campaign donations: Since a working legal definition of "good" versus "bad" political organizations is all but impossible to establish, all organizations — profit or non-profit — should be banned from donating to campaigns, and/or provide indirect support of campaigns. Only individuals should be allowed to donate to campaigns, $1,000 maximum per candidate per donor per year.
So as not to infringe on free speech, organizations — political or otherwise — would have to be allowed to independently promote their agendas. This, obviously, continues to favor organizations backed by large amounts of funding (e.g., Super PACs) but if you have a better idea, I'm listening.
This reformation of our national electoral system will not eliminate all dysfunction in central government, but would go far in creating a Federal government better positioned to respond to Americans' needs.
"The second feature (of the proposed Constitution) I dislike, and greatly dislike, is the abandonment in every instance of the necessity of rotation in office…." — Thomas Jefferson, in a December 20, 1787 letter to James Madison.
"The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabric. They are construing our constitution from a co-ordination of a general and special government to a general and supreme one alone. This will lay all things at their feet, and they are too well versed in English law to forget the maxim, 'boni judicis est ampliare jurisdictionem' (a tongue-in-cheek statement that translates, 'a good judge establishes enlarged jurisdictions')… Having found, from experience, that impeachment (of justices) is an impracticable thing, a mere scare-crow, they consider themselves secure for life… A judiciary independent of a king or executive alone, is a good thing; but the independence (from) the will of the nation is a solecism (incorrect behavior), at least in a republican government. — Thomas Jefferson, in a December 25, 1820 letter to Thomas Ritchie.
Parenthetical statements are the author's.

12TH Five Year Plan Working Group Report on Capital Goods
Indian Electrical Equipment Industry Mission Plan
List of identified technologies
The Scheme on Enhancement of Competitiveness in the Indian Capital Goods Sector will be implemented in the 12th Plan period and spill over to the 13th Plan period with an estimated outlay of Rs. 930.96 crore. The Gross Budgetary Support (GBS) from the government for the scheme would be Rs. 581.22 crore and the balance Rs. 349.74 crore would be contributed by the stakeholder industries.
The scheme has five components to achieve the desired result in pilot mode -
(i) Creation of "Advanced Centres of Excellence" for R & D and Technology Development with National Centres of Excellence in Education and Technology such as the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur and the Central Manufacturing Technology Institute (CMTI), Bangalore.
(ii) Establishment of "Integrated Industrial Infrastructure Facilities" popularly known as Machine Tool Parks with a basic objective of making the machine tool sector more competitive by providing an ecosystem for production. Establishment of Machine Tool Parks will cut down logistic cost substantially and would be a step forward in making the sector cost effective, having enhanced export capability and favourable for attracting more investment. The park would be established by a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) formed by local industries, industry associations, financial institutions, Central / State Governments, R & D Institutions, etc.
(iii) Common Engineering Facility Centre" for Textile Machinery is to be set up with active participation of the local industry and the industry association, which in turn would improve facilitation to the users along with visibility. The Common Engineering Facility that can be provided within such set ups are common foundry, common heat treatment, testing laboratories, design center, common prototyping, general and specific machinery, etc. The facility would enable textile machinery and other capital goods manufacturers to develop capital goods to meet the large requirements and improve capacity utilization, thereby reducing the variable cost of operation. This would also be established by a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) formed by local industries, industry associations, financial institutions, Central/State Governments, R&D Institutions, etc.
(iv) Testing and Certification Centre" for earth moving machineries in view of the fact that it is soon going to be made a mandatory requirement and at present there is no test facility to test earthmoving machinery like that in the automobile industry. By setting up of the test centre, the import of second hand and outdated machinery could be restricted through mandatory testing and certification, In addition, the centre would facilitate evaluating the performance, statutory and regulatory requirements of construction and mining machinery and equipment. The setting up of Test and Certification Centre for Earthmoving Machinery will be done by the SPV specifically created by the Department of Heavy Industry with the approval of the Cabinet. After approval of the Scheme, a separate proposal for information of SPV for implementation of this particular scheme component will be sent to the Cabinet for approval.
(v) The creation of a "Technology Acquisition Fund" under the Technology `Acquisition Fund Programme (TAFP) in order to help the Capital Goods Industry to acquire and assimilate specific technologies, for achieving global standards and competitiveness within a short period of time. The TAFP will provide financial assistance to Indian capital goods industry to facilitate acquisition of strategic and relevant technologies, and also development of technologies through contract route, in-house route or through joint route of contract and in-house. The Fund can extend partial support to industry to enhance their technology level, for achieving superior product quality / functionality, production capacity, safety and sustainability performance. This programme would bridge the technology gaps identified in the 12th Plan Working Group Report on "Capital Goods and Engineering Sector".
The Capital Goods value added contributes a fairly constant proportion of 9-12 percent of the total manufacturing value added. This establishes that manufacturing is the key end-user sector of Capital Goods and drives the performance of the latter. Another key determinant of the demand for Capital Goods is the gross investment undertaken in the economy. The apparent consumption of Capital Goods constitutes a constant share of 17-21 percent of the total Gross Domestic investment in the country. The investments in the Capital Goods sector have declined with the decline in the relative profitability of the Capital Goods sector with respect to other sectors. The capital goods sector determines global competitiveness of the manufacturing sector by being a vehicle of technology.

In 2015, the forty-first president looked decent beside the mountebanks, charlatans, and avocado salesmen running for the GOP nomination, let alone his own son. A gentleman, the defenders say. Look at his friendship with Bill Clinton, whom he called a bozo in a less than gentlemanly campaign. He was not a reflexive defender of all things Israel. Endorsing the raising of taxes in a 1990 budget deal likely doomed his presidency.
Undistinguished congressman, best known for supporting contraception so fervently that he was called "Rubbers" behind his back; he would comfortably shelve this enthusiasm fifteen years later.
Chair of the RNC when Richard Nixon needed his boots licked. Envoy to China (he's the sort of person you appoint to things, Nixon growled).
CIA director, during whose tenure the agency regained much of its clout after the Pike-Church hearings came closest to shattering it into the thousand pieces that JFK had promised.
Likely involved in the deal with Iranians that released the hostages in January 1981 to embarrass Jimmy Carter.
His VP national security adviser Donald Gregg coordinated Contra activities, including one Felix Rodriguez and pal Luis Posada Carriles in the mid eighties.
Ran in 1988 the most vituperative and emptiest presidential campaign of my lifetime after realizing he was going to lose, badly (he won, comfortably).
Despite the hosannas for his Steady, Sure Hand, he incarnated forty years of received wisdom when, confronted by Mikhail Gorbachev's commitment to dismantling the Soviet Union, he flailed; Michael Dukakis would have handled the collapse of the Eastern bloc just fine, thanks.
By winks and nods — the lingua franca of CIA directors — indicated through his ambassador that he would not mind if Iraq invaded part of Kuwait yet affected surprise when SAD-dum Hussein took it all.
Encouraged the Kurds to rebel against Sad-dum to save America the trouble of toppling him, then ignored them when Sad-dum began the slaughter.
Appointed Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court, the trajectory of whose career was contingent on white men courting black Republicans.
Pardoning Caspar Weinberger, Elliott Abrams, among others, for obstruction of justice on the eve of Weinberger's trial for his role in Iran-Contra.
It's also World AIDS Day. A dozen years in the White House brought Bush no closer to understanding the enormity of the threat. If Ronald Reagan waited until 1987 to deliver his first address on the epidemic, Bush waited until 1990.
For a man often cursed with an ill sense of timing, his death was announced before a weekend, guaranteeing blanket piety through Sunday night. Courtiers like Jon Meacham and sycophants like Andrea Mitchell will mourn What America Has Become since Bush waved a bag of cocaine in the Oval Office as a prop in a televised address. If George Herbert Walker Bush ran for the presidency in 2020, we would praise him for the black bag jobs he approved and for his groveling to the men he served. If Donald Trump has his uses, it's to destroy — inexorably, cleanly — the fiction that our presidents must be gentlemen.

Q: AS3: Error while accessing a function of an externally loaded swf file I get the following error:
Error #1069: Property externalFun not found on LoadedFile and there is no default value.
My main project file:
        questionLoader = new Loader();
        var questionRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(xmlName);
        questionLoader.load(questionRequest);
        questionLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfLoaded);

 public function swfLoaded(e:Event) {

        var target: MovieClip = e.currentTarget.content;
        trace(target);

        addChild(target);
        target.externalFun();
    }

Loaded swf:
   public function LoadedFile() {
        // constructor code

        this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,init);

    }

    public function externalFun():void {

    trace("IT WORKS");

    }

Any ideas?

A: Listen to Event.INIT rather than Event.COMPLETE. Event.COMPLETE happens immediately after all bytes are loaded and does not indicate that loaded content is actually available already. If you care to put one trace before calling externalFun and the other into the LoadedFile constructor, the latter one will fire later than the former. However, Event.INIT occurs after the loaded content is initialized thus the problem probably will go away. If no, proceed with trace diagnostics described above and probably wait 1 frame after Event.INIT fires before calling the function you want.

Kiev is a rapper based in San Antonio, Texas. He is young in the game but infamous for his references from the 90s and beyond. He recently released an album entitled Priority and the single Keep It on Me!


As we recognize Gun Violence Awareness Month, more legislators are passing campus carry in universities across the nation. This means student safety concerns are on the rise.
School shootings have become more and more prevalent in this day and age, and with the recent shooting in South Carolina, people are questioning why this legislation is even being considered.
According to the Texas Tribune, the Texas House officially passed campus carry in universities including The University of Texas at Austin, a college that has experienced an unfortunate, tragic past with gun violence.
1. College students already face higher risks of suicides.
"In a survey of 1,085 University of Maryland college students, 12 percent said they had contemplated suicide. Eight out of 10 students reported having had a depressed mother. "Other risk factors the researchers identified included: exposure to domestic violence, feelings of being unloved, depression and prolonged separation from family and friends, triggering anxiety."
In college, young people are exposed to all kinds of people and environments.
Some relationships are lost while new ones are made, and students are constantly learning about themselves.
College is a place where students obtain the skills for success; however, college life comes with both good and bad aspects of growing up.
Students have the opportunity to find great internships, academically succeed, get involved in the community and meet lifelong friends.
Yet, peer pressure, underage drinking, wild parties, stressful exams and financial troubles are also some of the many factors that contribute to the struggle of a college student.
All of this has led students to be at higher risk of suicide, and passing campus carry may only make it easier for students to follow through with thoughts of suicide or other dangerous acts.
2. Are guns on "safety" really equivalent to gun safety?
You may have the right to bear arms, but I also have the right to live.
I have the right to be able to come to class with the idea in mind that I can express my opinions freely without someone who has a different opinion pulling a weapon on me.
I have the right to be able to study peacefully in an environment without fearing an altercation may occur nearby, or that someone's weapon may accidentally go off, regardless of whether it was supposed to be on "safety."
We have seen news stories where someone's gun, which was supposedly on safety, went off regardless.
For example, earlier this year, a former Glasgow officer accidentally shot his finger while examining a gun he wanted to purchase at a gun store in Kentucky.
According to The NY Daily News, the officer, Darrell Smith, assumed the gun was on safety, but decided to sue the store upon discovering the store owner did not do a safety check.
3. Identification of suspects on campus.
Since campus carry has been banned in the past, police have been able to stop and identify suspects with illegal arms on campus who could have been potential threats to students.
Now, if campus carry is passed, police and other investigative officials may misidentify, or find it more difficult to identify, potential suspects on campus.
It may just be another student who is licensed to carry a gun, whether it be open or concealed.
Some may say a benefit of having campus carry is it may allow responsible, licensed students to stop a potentially dangerous suspect.
However, has anyone taken into consideration the reaction time necessary to take action in such cases?
This isn't the wild west, and most people don't have the ability to instantly whip out their guns and fire like the Sundance Kid.
Let's use this scenario for example: You're a licensed student with a concealed weapon on campus, and your school's emergency system is blaring because there is a threat on campus.
What you don't know is you're in the same classroom as the threat.
What started out as a fellow student legally allowed to have a concealed gun on campus turned into a threat and a weapon pointed at you, your fellow classmates and your professor.
Although you could potentially stop the student from doing harm to others, the threat already has his or her gun out, so if he or she sees you reacting, it could prompt him or her to harm you before you or others have the chance to stop it from happening.
5. So, let's be real… why do you want to bring a gun to class?
How does it contribute to your education? What will you do with that gun in calculus?
What will you do with that gun in biology? What will you do with that gun in your Spanish class?
Will that gun help you on the test? Is that your new study guide?
This is not a matter of being Republican or Democrat, black or white, or male or female.
This is a matter of having the ability to obtain an education that provides you with the skills necessary for future success.
You may ask, "Well, how are you so certain that I'll achieve future success?
The economy is still kind of rocky and more college graduates are still finding themselves without jobs."
And, you're right; when this legislation gets passed, our futures could change tomorrow... and with guns on campus, we don't know whether it'll always be for the better.
As future leaders of tomorrow, students have so much power.
With college loans and expenses, it may not always feel like it, so it is important to have these conversations, but we must stay educated and take action to guarantee our educational institutions are the best they can be.


It's not your imagination: Abortion rights are under assault in the U.S. as never before. And you can thank a 2007 Supreme Court decision for the state-by-state onslaught.
With Justice Sandra Day O'Connor in the majority, the court ruled 5 to 4 that Nebraska's law violated abortion rights established in Roe and affirmed in Planned Parenthood v. Casey because it did not contain an exemption for allowing the procedure when a woman's health was threatened.
But in 2007, with O'Connor replaced by Alito, the court in Gonzales upheld a federal ban on the procedure that did not include such an exception.
There was also some language from Justice Anthony Kennedy in his majority opinion that inspired opponents of abortion — and soundly pissed off Ruth Bader Ginsburg, among others. He claimed Casey had established that "government has a legitimate and substantial interest in preserving and promoting fetal life," and with regards to the so-called "partial birth abortion" procedure, "It is self-evident that a mother who comes to regret her choice to abort must struggle with grief more anguished and sorrow more profound" at the details of the procedure. Ginsburg replied in her dissent, "This way of thinking reflects ancient notions of women's place in the family and under the Constitution... [which] have long since been discredited."
It's taken a few years for the legislative process to churn, but several anti-abortion politicians in state legislatures — notably, Nebraska — say in the piece they were inspired by the decision, and are basically daring someone (Planned Parenthood, or the Center For Reproductive Rights) to challenge their laws. That way, they figure, they can get even more affirmation from the Supreme Court, and maybe even topple Roe.

Menahem Pressler (; born 16 December 1923) is a German-born Israeli-American pianist.

Pressler is Jewish. Following Kristallnacht, he and his immediate family fled Nazi Germany in 1939, initially to Italy, and then to Palestine.  His grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins all died in concentration camps.  His career was launched after he won first prize at the Debussy International Piano Competition in San Francisco in 1946. His Carnegie Hall debut subsequently followed, with the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Eugene Ormandy.

Since 1955, Pressler has taught on the piano faculty at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, where he holds the rank of Distinguished Professor of Music as the Charles Webb Chair.  His debut as a chamber musician was at the 1955 Berkshire Festival, where he appeared as the pianist of the Beaux Arts Trio, with Daniel Guilet, violin, and Bernard Greenhouse, cello.  Although he was a junior partner in the Beaux Arts Trio at the outset, Pressler was the only original member of the trio to perform with the group through its entire existence, including several changes of membership, up to the dissolution of the trio in 2008.  In 2010, he played at the Rheingau Musik Festival with Antônio Meneses, the last cellist of the Beaux Arts Trio, and appeared before in the series Rendezvous.

Pressler returned to Germany in 2008 on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht.  In January 2014, aged 90, he made his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic. His performance with the Berlin Philharmonic and Sir Simon Rattle at their 2014 New Year's Eve Concert was televised live throughout the world.

The Beaux Arts Trio made an extensive series of recordings for Philips.  In addition, Pressler has recorded solo piano music commercially on the La Dolce Volta label and Deutsche Grammophon in 2018 a recording of French music dedicated to his constant companion Annabelle Whitestone, Lady Weidenfeld. Already at the beginning of the 1950s he had recorded a substantial quantity of solo piano music and for piano and orchestra of various composers for the American label MGM.

Awards and recognition
Among his honors and awards, Pressler has received honorary doctorates from the University of Nebraska, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and the North Carolina School of the Arts, six Grammy nominations (including one in 2006), a lifetime achievement award from Gramophone magazine and the International Classical Music Awards, Chamber Music America's Distinguished Service Award, the Gold Medal of Merit from the National Society of Arts and Letters. He has also been awarded the German Critics "Ehrenurkunde" award and election into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2007 Pressler was appointed as an Honorary Fellow of the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance in recognition of a lifetime of performance and leadership in music. In 2005 Pressler received two additional awards of international merit: the German Bundesverdienstkreuz (Cross of Merit), Germany's highest honor, and France's highest cultural honor, the Commandeur in the Order of Arts and Letters award. In 2015 he received an Honorary Doctorate from the Royal Academy of Music London, Hon RAM, and received the lifetime Achievement Award from ECHO Classic in Germany. In 2016 he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award from Les Victoires de la Musique Classique in France. In December 2017 he received an Honorary Doctorate from Ben Gurion University in Beer Sheba Israel.

Vinyl sales may be on the up and luxury record players enjoying their time in the spotlight, but not everybody wants to pay for LPs they might have given away for free in the era of the compact disc.
Happily there will soon be another option: The Vinyl Library, founded by Elly Rendall and Sophie Austin, will loan out records to the public. It'll cost a pound to join the cooperative, with £10 monthly membership fee, and you'll be able to take out five records at one time. Donating records will get you a limited free membership. The duo are relying mostly on peoples' honesty, and the fact that it's run by volunteers, to ensure the discs get returned; borrowing any rare or valuable records will require a deposit.
It's an interesting idea, and we wish them well, although we're not entirely sure who it's aimed at: DJs who want a something for a particular gig but don't want to shell out for it, perhaps, although most DJs pride themselves on their own collections, crafted over countless hours of crate-digging.
The Vinyl Library is at Unit 1, Foulden Road, N16 7UU.

This product allows you to incentivize any other user to reply to your chat message.
The sender's credit card is preauthorized an amount equal to the recipient's message price upon sending a bid message – Loturas does not pay the recipient at this point. The platform notifies the recipient of receipt of a bid message. The sender is charged 24 hours after reply by the recipient. The pre-authentication is cancelled if recipient does not reply within 7 days.

On this network, job interviews across the network may be priced. Applicants may apply to a posted job with a Apply Price by pre-authorizing their credit card for an amount equal to the recruiter's Apply Price – Loturas does not pay the recruiter at this point. The platform will notify the user acting as a recruiter that another user acting as an applicant has matched their price and has set a date and time for an interview over a masked phone call or video conference. If the recruiter accepts, an event will be recorded in the application's calendar. In order to eliminate the risk of non-performance on behalf of the recruiter, monies will be paid with a lag of 24 hours after the event/interview recorded in the application's calendar.
In order to eliminate the risk of people posting jobs that they cannot fill with real positions, the recruiter's performance metrics are published to their profile. The number of offers made to applicants vs the number of jobs posted is shown. A user that posts jobs that he cannot fill will have a very low performance metric and the market will avoid applying to jobs posted by him – penalizing him financially for their impropriety.
To prevent payment to a non-performing user/recruiter for this product, please contact us at trades@loturas.com and we will cancel payment to the recruiter before the funds are paid out.
Recruiters may incentivize applicants to interview for posted jobs with a Negative Apply Price; i.e. an amount of money paid to a desirable candidate in return for an interview across the network to be conducted through a masked phone call or videoconference.

The platform will then notify the user acting as an applicant that another user acting as a recruiter has offered them an amount of money equal to the Negative Apply Price in return for conducting an interview at the recorded date and time. In order to eliminate the risk of non-performance on behalf of the applicant, monies will be paid with a lag of 24 hours after the event/interview recorded in the application's calendar.

Travelrobe To Launch It's Airport Parking New Customer Campaign
The British travel group Travelrobe has announced the launch of its campaign to generate new leads for its airport parking site Airportessentials.com
Online PR News – 05-May-2010 – – This airport parking site has been online since February, 2005 and has gone through many changes to improve on its customer appeal and also for SEO purposes and is now at a stage where Travelrobe feels its time for a major publicity campaign to boost its customer base. Visit http://www.airportessentials.com
Mark Felix, Travelrobe's spokesperson said in a statement that the campaign will be a very ambitious undertaking for the group but that they are determined to see it through, he also went on to say that most of the activities will be through online media outlets including Press Releases, Articles, Pay Per Click, Banner Advertising but that the company also has TV, Bill Boards and Radio as part of the broader campaign strategy.
Based on a Google trend analysis, online booking of airport parking has been in decline in the UK and this could be the result of some bad press the sector has had over the past few years, when ask about the findings, Mark Felix said, it is inevitable that in any business there are companies that genuinely care about their reputation and the service they offer to their customers , while other companies see easy or quick money as a motivating factor which leads to some of the terrible things that has happened.
He also went on the say that the industry has gone through major changes to rectify some of the problems in the past which is why most airport parking locations are Park Mark®Safer Parking certified.
The Safer Parking Scheme is an initiative of the Associations of Chief Police Officers aimed at reducing crime and the fear of crime in parking facilities.
Currently, Travelrobe works with a prominent airport parking, airport hotels & lounges consolidator which has been in business for over 30 years and says they will continue to do business with the company based on its reputation throughout the industry.

Casio to adopt Transmeta for notebooks
The electronics maker plans to introduce a notebook containing Transmeta's Crusoe chip next year in Japan, becoming the latest small manufacturer to sign up with the chip start-up.

Casio will introduce a notebook containing a Crusoe chip from Transmeta next year in Japan, becoming the latest small manufacturer to sign up with the chip start-up.
Casio will show off a Crusoe notebook next week at Comdex, according to ARS, and will release the notebook to the Japanese market in the first half of 2001.
While Casio is not one of the world's largest notebook manufacturers, the deal marks another design win for the chip start-up. Transmeta designs chips that compete with processors from Intel but consume less power than standard Pentium IIIs or Celerons.
Intel, though, isn't standing still. The chip giant in October announced that it would come out with a series of ultra-low-power Pentium IIIs for notebooks by the middle of 2001. A prototype notebook from a major manufacturer containing one of these chips will be shown in hotel suites at Comdex, sources close to Intel said.
Like Sony, Casio is using the Crusoe chip in a "sub-notebook." As the name connotes, sub-notebooks are generally much smaller than regular notebooks. The screen on Casio's Fiva notebook containing a Crusoe chip measures 8.4 inches.
"Casio reported that the system has a battery life of between six to nine hours, which is impressive for a slim design of this type and indicates that the Crusoe design can dramatically increase battery life within very small form factor notebooks," ARS wrote in an analyst bulletin.
Meta Group says Transmeta faces major obstacles to carving out a significant chunk of the microprocessor market.
see commentary
So far, all of Transmeta's notebook wins have been with Japanese manufacturers. Except for Sony, all of these companies are selling their products in Asia.
Gateway and America Online, however, have already announced plans to put a Crusoe chip inside of their kitchen-countertop Internet appliance.
Two weeks ago, Transmeta suffered a setback when IBM revealed that it was suspending plans that would have led to the commercial release of a Crusoe-based ThinkPad.
Despite the setback, Transmeta's stock managed to double in its trading debut on Wall Street a few days later on Nov. 6.

Four episodes into Better Call Saul, one of the most interesting things about the series is the nuanced approach to Jimmy ethics. "Hero" sees him edging into outright criminality, as he succumbs to the lure of a bribe from the embezzling Kettlemans. But he uses that money to try and build up his legitimate business. Okay, he then resorts to a scheme straight out of his younger self "Slippin' Jimmy"'s playbook to publicise that business. But he's still broadly on the side of the angels.


Summerfair begins this week in Carlisle. This summer festival is an example of the very best of "small town USA"! All events are free and fun! The fun starts with a parade on July 2, followed by an ice cream social and concert/dance on the square.
There are bike rides, horse shoe tournaments, softball games, a musical ("Oliver"), and one of my favorites: "Anything Floats" race in the lake at Boiling Springs.
More activities include fishing derbies, country line dancing, a miniature golf tournament, swing dance lessons, tours of historic buildings, and even a small craft fair.
The Harrisburg Symphony will play a concert on the lawn of Dickinson College on Sunday evening 7/5.
Check the full schedule at the link provided and come to Carlisle to experience the best of small town USA!
