Yes, Rich Miller, Quinn Promised the Tax Hike Would Be Temporary
Posted by Eric Kohn on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 | Leave a Comment
Over at Capitol Fax, Rich Miller seems pretty confused about Pat Quinn's record on the temporary income tax increase being temporary:
I don't think the governor ever specifically "promised" – in public, anyway – that the tax hike would be temporary. He was always pretty vague on that topic until his budget address. Tons of articles were written over the past few years about how Quinn wouldn't talk about what should happen with the tax. When he finally decided he was for making it permanent, that was really huge news.
Oh really? Check out this video posted at Rich Miller's own YouTube account:
What's amazing is that, later in the same post, Miller links to this video. He points people to the 15:00 mark for this exchange:
Reporter: So, four years from now, do you support making this 5% tax increase permanent?
Quinn: "We will deal with this one day at time, one week, one month, one year at a time. I think our job now is to take what was passed last night and carry it out."
But check out what Quinn says just a few minutes earlier, starting at about the 12:00 minute mark of the video, emphasis mine:
Reporter: You said during the campaign that you wouldn't go for a tax increase above your 1% surcharge, so were you being dishonest with voters then, or are you telling the truth now that you really wanted it to be higher?
Quinn: Well, I think you need to look at the way we've put together the structure of the revenue. We have an emergency, a fiscal emergency. Our state was careening towards bankruptcy and fiscal insolvency. Even in the last couple of months the situation got seriously more dire. So, the governor has to act at the moment. And that's what I did.
I want to point out that the, I guess, one point of the income tax, one percent, is temporary for four years. It will fall to 3.75% at the end of that time. And then we have a debt restricting that I intend to get passed that'll take another decade or so to pay that bond off.
::cross talk::
We basically have a temporary income tax to pay our debts.
And then again just a few moments later, emphasis again mine:
Quinn: Well, the concept here is this is a temporary income tax to deal with the immediate fiscal emergency our state faces, to pay the bills so we don't have severe cutbacks in education, health care, public safety, important things that are absolutely vital to the lives of the citizens.
All of that happens in the three minutes leading up to when Rich Miller wanted you to start watching the video.
Quinn sounds pretty clear there, don't you think? Temporary, temporary, temporary. The very nature and structure of the law is a promise on the part of the legislators that passed it and the governor that signed it that it would be temporary. Because, otherwise, why put in that sunset after four years? Why not just make it permanent tax increase from the get-go?
But, of course, Rich knows exactly why that didn't happen. Because it would have been much more difficult politically to get legislators to vote on an income tax increase that wasn't promised to go away in a few years. Making promises that it would be temporary provided political cover to get the tax hike he wanted. And, as we can tell from regular budget proposals from Quinn that call for more and more spending and ignore the desperate need for fundamental restructuring of the systems in Illinois government, he really never had an intention of giving up that tax hike.
The record is pretty darn clear on this. Pat Quinn has lied repeatedly. He said during the 2010 campaign that he wouldn't pursue a tax increase more than 1 percentage point. The hike he signed was 2 percentage points, a 67% increase. He said over and over, as you can see from the video above, that this income tax hike would be temporary. And now he wants to make it permanent.
And all Rich Miller is doing is bending over backwards to defend Quinn and try to make him look consistent in spite of the man's own words.


We use the four gift rule for Christmas: something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read. I take the 'something to read' gift very seriously! Our home library grows all year long, so I want our Christmas gift books to be extra special. Children's book treasuries and collections make wonderful gifts for Christmas or any other special occasion.
Treasuries take up less space than having lots of individual books, and you only have to put one book away 🙂 Not to mention, buying a treasury is more cost effective than buying separate books. There are some things to keep in mind, though. Sometimes pictures are sized down to fit the new format of the treasury. In some books, a few of the original pictures are omitted. This really makes some people mad! If you are one of those people, make sure to read the reviews and check the book's dimensions before buying.
James Herriot's Treasury for Children This is an often-recommended treasury for the early years!
Jan Brett's Animal Treasury – Jan Brett's beautiful illustrations and engaging stories are favorites of many families. Many of her stories are based off of folk-tales from other countries. Her books are sometimes considered light reading, but any child would love to have this treasury!
Frog and Toad Storybook Treasury – The adventures of these sweet friends are perfect for young readers.
The Complete Adventures of Curious George There is some debate as to whether or not Curious George has a place in the Charlotte Mason early years, but we enjoy this silly monkey! I consider the classic stories to be delightful light reading. The new adventures, rewritten by other authors, aren't as delightful, and aren't written in such beautiful language. If it says "Margret Rey's Curious George," then it is a rewrite.
Paul Galdone Classic Folktales Treasury – Paul Galdone does justice to well-known folk tales in his retelling and art.
English Fairy Tales: By Joseph Jacobs – Illustrated I struggled with knowing which fairy tale collection to buy, but the answer is this one. Ambleside Online recommends this book for the early years.
The Complete Brambly Hedge – These sweet little animal stories are accompanied by beautiful, detailed pictures. The stories are filled with themes of community and joy. This is one of our favorites.
The World Treasury of Children's Literature– This book seems to be out of print, but you can find used copies at reasonable prices. This book has classics like The Little House, The Little Engine that Could, and Robert Louis Stevenson poems.
Ezra Jack Keats Treasury – A Snowy Day was one of Miss H's favorite books at a very young age. Recently, we discovered Jennie's Hat and Miss H was delighted with Jenny's creativity and her nature friends. This treasury has those two stories, plus eight more. The pictures are reduced in this edition, which some people will find upsetting!
A Madeline Treasury: The Original Stories by Ludwig Bemelmans – We love Madeline stories, as long as they are written by the original author!
Mike Mulligan and More: A Virginia Lee Burton Treasury – What I love about Virginia Lee Burton is that she keeps ME on my toes. Not only are her stories crafted to keep children interested, but I find myself excited to know what happens next.
The Magical World of Strega Nona: a Treasury – I loved Strega Nona as a child! These magical stories are beautifully illustrated, as well.
Elsa Beskow Gift Collection– This technically is not a treasury, but I couldn't leave this out. I've recently discovered Elsa Beskow's beautiful books. They were written in the early 1900's, and most of them are nature-themed. Her illustrations are so gorgeous that publishers are still creating calendars, alphabet book s, and grownup coloring books . This collection features miniature editions that are about 5 inches tall. This is Miss H's 'something to read' this year.
Make Way for McCloskey: A Robert McCloskey Treasury – Robert McCloskey wrote and illustrated beautiful stories. We love this treasury, filled with classics Make Way for Ducklings and Blueberries for Sal.
Beatrix Potter the Complete Tales (Peter Rabbit) -Ambleside Online recommends a Beatrix Potter collection on their year 0 (preschool) book list. We actually have two of her collections because I wanted one that my kids could flip through without having to worry about pages getting ripped.
A Christmas Treasury– My friend Cindy from My Life as a Rinnagade recently posted about this Christmas Treasury from Barnes and Noble. It has complete versions of classic stories like A Christmas Carol and The Gift of the Magi. At the time of this post, the hardcover version is sold out online, but you might be able to snag one in stores!
Jan Brett's Christmas Treasury – This is out of print, and I'm kicking myself because I had this as a public school teacher, and got rid of it. This is a beautiful book filled with some of my favorite Jan Brett stories. You can still buy it used on Amazon.
A Child's Book of Poems – This is becoming my new go-to gift. Gyo Fujikawa has beautiful illustrations, and this books is filled with classic poems that children love.
Switching on the Moon: A Very First Book of Bedtime Poems We have this sweet collection of bedtime poems. Not every single poem is "living," but as a whole, this book is beautiful and worth having! Our favorite in this collection is Sweet and Low by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
Frederick's Fables- Leo Leonni's stories are creative and often full of resourceful problem solving. This treasury amazingly has 16 of his stories. To make room, some of the pictures have been left out, which might disappoint some!
The Alfie Treasury – This out of print book is expensive on Amazon, but you might be able to find it on eBay or Thriftbooks (this is a referral link, and through it you can get 15% off of your first purchase at Thriftbooks!) Alfie is a sweet toddler whose life is told in beautiful language. We have this, and Miss H loved it and wanted to read the whole thing at once. I think it would be perfect for two and three year old children- I can't wait to read it to E!
There are other great treasuries that are worthy of a place on your book shelves. Would you add any other treasuries to this list?
This is a great list! James Herriot, Rober McCloskey, Elsa Beskow and Brambly Hedge are all making it into our home this Chrismtas (we're not buying them allI should add, thank goodness for Grandparents!) Beatrix Potter and Shirley Hughes are big favourites of ours so far.

Chatting at home with Simon last night about a colleague who is going through the family court at the moment reminded me of the drama that is seperating one life unit into two. It also rekindled a memory of the depths ex partners can go to to seek revenge on a spouse, to try and equal the pain of the heart. This story is funny and despite the agony at the time i did manage a very good larf.
The crux of the amusement stems from the fact that my ex husbands name is Simon and my then boyfriend (now my husband) is also named Simon and that additionally, my surname is X and my boyfriend (now husband) also has the surname X. My ex husband has a different surname.
The circumstance that i found myself in is that i recieved a letter from the government stating that a certain department had been trying to contact me, unsuccessfully, by phone and had also twice sent someone around to my house to 'interview' me. I had remained uncontactable, hence the letter and would i please call this department for an interview about my current living arrangements.
The woman who is in charge of my 'case' informs me that they have had an 'anonymous' tip off that i am in fact co-habiting with someone yet recieving extra government allowance allocated for people parenting solo. Could I please confirm that my ex husband had moved back into the house. What the!? That sounds horriffic! NO!
I tell her that but she also informs me that the tip off has included details about a vehicle being seen frequently at the house etc and being there for a few days. I say 'well my ex husband drop the kids off every week but he doesnt even come inside the house and that this tip off is a bit of a mystery to me coz there is no way on earth we are back in a relationship together'.
Is the reported name of involved person Simon? "yes"
Is the surname reported X? "yes"
I tell her that Simon X is not my ex husband, despite the name, that he is my boyfriend and the name of the person doing the tip off would be my ex husband Simon? "Umm I cant reveal that."
I tell her that what has happenned is that someone in the department has seen the names involved and become confused and has assumed that the boyfriend is the exhusband and the ex husband is the boyfriend. It gets really special here as the natural effect of such confusion is that the ex husband has now also implicated himself inadvertently as a co-conspirator in this 'defrauding'. He has, by his own doing, sent the goverment dudes around to his place to answer the same questions i am getting and go through the burecratic nightmare that was required to prove his innocence! Priceless. Boy , did that woman and i have a belly laugh on the phone that day. I really, really would have loved to have been a fly on the wall the day the ex realised what a totally botched job he had made of his attempt to make life difficult for me.
There was no defrauding on my part. Sleepovers dont count. I could have told him that. Ahhh, revenge gone wrong. Sweet enough for me.

A DropPoint is a Windows Service that is installed on to a Windows server or workstation in order to enable Flowgear to access data sources that are not exposed to the Internet.
The DropPoint creates creates a secured connection between our Cloud environment and a server which then enables integration requests to be routed through it.
DropPoints should be used to integrate on-premise applications and services.
To make use of a DropPoint, select it in the Flowgear Connection for the on-premise application or service.
You can download a DropPoint from the DropPoints pane in the Flowgear Console by clicking the '+' icon. Use the 64bit installer unless the Connector that you need to route through the DropPoint specifically advises that you use 32bit.
Once installed, you can launch the DropPoint from the start menu. Sign in with your Flowgear credentials and then select the Site you would like to register the DropPoint to. You will then be able to use the DropPoint on any Connection within that Site.
Your Flowgear credentials are not stored at the DropPoint and the DropPoint does not use these credentials once it has been registered.
To rename a DropPoint, launch the DropPoint app from the Start menu, click Identity and specify a new name, then click Update. Click the Register tab and re-register the DropPoint against each Site it is used within.
Don't upgrade a DropPoint while it is busy processing production workloads.
You can upgrade a DropPoint manually by uninstalling the current version and re-installing the latest version from the Console.
You can upgrade a DropPoint remotely by locating it in the DropPoints Pane.
Click the ↑ button to commence upgrade.
Warning: Remote upgrades may fail if connectivity is lost or if the filesystem or user account permissions have changed since the last time the DropPoint was started.
DropPoints create an outbound connection into our Cloud environment and use WebSockets over HTTPS and will also be able to connection through most proxy servers.
Because this session is identical to browsing a secure website, there is seldom any need to modify firewall rules.
All data sent across the DropPoint transport is compressed (10:1 compression ratios are typically achieved) and an application-layer package validation transparently handles re-transmits of unacknowledged packets. This also means that data is re-transmitted following a disruption in connectivity, provided the DropPoint Timeout and Timeout on the relevant Connection is high enough.
A 32bit version of the DropPoint is available to support integration with applications that run in a 32bit environment (eg. SYSPRO). In all other scenarios, the 64bit version should be used.
Flowgear DropPoints require access to Flowgear's REST API at https://api.flowgear.net.
Depending on where the DropPoint and Site are registered, other API endpoints may be accessed. To determine the endpoint needed for your Site, sign in to Flowgear and click on your Site name in the left-hand panel, then Edit this Site. Under the Pod label, look at the Pod number shown. For example, if you see Community (Pod 2), then the DropPoint needs to be able to connect to https://api.flowgear.net and https://api2.flowgear.net.
If the DropPoint is unable to connect to Flowgear, first check whether you are able to access one of these URL's in a browser from the same machine. Next, review the log file (located in %ProgramFiles%\Flowgear\Flowgear DropPoint or %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Flowgear\Flowgear DropPoint) to determine whether there is a connectivity issue.
If you are able to access the endpoint in a browser but the DropPoint is not able to, try running the DropPoint under a named user account. If this resolves the problem, consider whether a firewall could be blocking access based on user account.
As of V4, Flowgear DropPoints use WebSockets for communication and is secured over HTTPS. Additionally, all data is compressed and application-level transaction chunking and acknowledgement is applied enabling recovery of data when Internet connectivity has been disrupted.

2013 Silverstone Classic will honour the Pampas Bull
Next month's Silverstone Classic (26-28 July) will pay special tribute to José Froilan Gonzáles, the legendary Argentine racing driver who passed away last weekend at the age of 90.
Nicknamed 'the Pampas Bull' thanks to his burly frame and swashbuckling style, Gonzáles will forever be linked to Silverstone. He not only scored both his two Grand Prix wins (from a total of 26 starts) at the famous Northamptonshire circuit but the first of these in 1951 was also of huge historical significance being Ferrari's first-ever victory in the FIA Formula One World Championship.
"Everyone was shouting and I was carried to the winner's podium," recalled Gonzáles in his book My Greatest Race. "After a few minutes they led me forward to the Queen of England who congratulated me. I had never experienced anything like this before. When I saw my country's flag being hoisted, it was just too much for me and I cried. That moment will live with me for ever."
Honouring that milestone achievement the two races organised by the Historic Grand Prix Cars Association specifically for F1 cars from that era will be named the Froilan Gonzáles Trophy for HGPCA Pre '61 Grand Prix Cars.
"Gonzáles will always be a giant figure in motor sport history and it's a huge privilege for us to be honouring him at this year's Silverstone Classic," said event director Nick Wigley. "His two Grand Prix victories came at Silverstone and his 1951 win for Ferrari is a watershed moment in the annals of Formula One racing. What's more he was also a regular visitor to the Silverstone Classic back in the Nineties always happy to be back at the scene of his greatest victory."
Notably Gonzáles returned in 1997 to take part in a dramatic Ferrari demonstration. Aged 74 he drove a 1952 Ferrari 375 Indianapolis alongside Phil Hill, John Surtees and Jody Scheckter in three of the Scuderia's more modern F1 machines. Two year's later he also took part in BRM's 50th anniversary celebrations at Silverstone.
Like so many of the drivers in his era, Gonzáles also competed in sportscars winning the Le Mans 24 Hours for Ferrari in 1954. Several of the magical machines he raced in the Fifties, and that raced against him, will be among more than 1000 of the finest and most authentic competition cars all recreating history at what's now firmly established as the world's biggest classic motor racing festival.
As well as honouring the Argentine hero, this summer's Silverstone Classic is celebrating the achievements of another racing legend, Jim Clark. Marking the 50th anniversary of the Scot's first World Championship as well as his victory in the 1963 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, the two HGPCA races for Pre '66 Grand Prix cars are dedicated to the Scot. A special BRDC Silverstone Classic dinner is also being staged in the Silverstone Wing with many of those who knew Clark from the Sixties sharing their memories.
The full Silverstone Classic bill features no fewer than 24 races spanning the full spectrum of motor sport history. In keeping with the popular event's widely acclaimed 'access all areas' policy, tickets (which must be purchased in advance) include free entrance to all the special classic car displays, both National and Wing racing paddocks and pit complexes, trackside grandstands, live music concerts on Friday and Saturday evenings plus a host of other entertainment for all ages and interests. Adult admittance is from just £35 (plus fees) and considerable savings are on offer for those festival goers spending the full weekend at Silverstone. Full details can be found on the official website.
Remember, you can win a pair of tickets to this wonderful event, simply leaving a comment here telling us why you'd love to attend the 2013 event.

Facebook and first dates – how it can go seriously wrong…
13 Sep 2011 8 Facebook, Law & order, Social networks
Previous: Hackers steal credit card details at Wisconsin and Tennessee Wilderness resorts
Next: BitTorrent serves malware directly from website – no need for P2P!

How exactly does a young mum, aged 23, end up as a getaway driver in an armed robbery instead of going on a hot date with an old friend she reconnected with on Facebook?
In the teeny tiny town of Ferndale, about 20 miles north of Cardiff in Wales, Leah Gibbs was exchanging flirty messages with 21-year-old Adam Minton.
She told The Mirror, "I was so excited about going out with Adam…He was tall, dark and handsome with twinkly eyes – it was a welcome break from the grind of being a single mum looking after my two daughters…".
When she arrived at Minton's house the following day, he immediately asked her for a lift to the local betting shop Ladbrokes. She relunctantly agrees, assuming he wanted to place a bet. (I can't help but think that has got to be a clue to the man's character, but there you go…)
He ran out of Ladbrokes, a knife in hand and a bandana covering his face, towards the car and screamed "Drive, drive, drive" as he jumped in. (Now you see, again, I can't help but think that the whole knife and bandana thing is yet another good reason to lock the door and speed off WITHOUT him…)
A Ladbrokes' employee had deployed a silent alarm and gave the cops Leah Gibbs' registration plate number. It wasn't long before the cops caught up with them.
She spent the night behind bars and was released the next day, when Minton admitted to acting alone. He made off with £245, about $390 USD.
Minton has been handed a four-and-a-half year jail sentence.
Ms Gibbs has reportedly concluded that "it was a date from hell."
This is not the first time that Facebook meetings have led to sour evenings. You might remember the shocking story of a Facebook blind date and a supermarket robbery. You can watch video below.
(Enjoy this video? Why not check out the SophosLabs YouTube channel?)
Ending up as a getaway driver on a Facebook date may be an end to an evening which is hard to predict, but remember to always be careful about who you meet up with online.
Not everyone may be worthy of the title of "Facebook friend".

I have met hundreds of people from the internet and have no horror stories. Why? Because I am not stupid. Who in their right might goes to a strangers house??? You meet at a public location and you take someone with you. You drive your own car and never leave with that person until you have had enough "dates" with them to know who they are.
By the way, I am married to man I met on the internet, so I am well aware of how great the internet dating experience can be. But, be careful. Most people are great, just don't be stupid in allowing the few crazies into your life.
If a woman (or man, for that matter) doesn't have common sense in "real" life, why should she have it in her cyber life?

Ribena says:
He ran into ladbrokes with a knife in his hand, how could the first thing you do not be to drive off?
schmunzelmonster says:
Facebook is not required to get into this kind of pickle. A young lady with a baby in a pram knocked on my door and I invited her in out of the pouring rain. I still haven't quite worked out how I fell for it… but before long I was driving her around the rougher areas of Catford. Eventually it dawned on me that we were on a drugs run and I was looking after her baby while she did her deals.
He he, how ingenious of her…………………and amazing that anyone could put up so much front. Gosh the young ones are so tricky these days………..
alittleart says:
This was someone she already knew before she started chatting to them on Facebook, so not then so very much a "beware of the dangerous internets" kind of tale. No masked identity, no faked photos; just a date gone wrong in a small town.
Orange Rhino says:
I had a date with a young woman I met on a social networking site. She wore an impressive business suit. As I waited in the car, she went into a big downtown building and stayed more than an hour. When she finally emerged she had pulled off a Ponzi scheme, netting $150 million. Over drinks later, she decided she didn't like me, and left—-giving me a mere $3 million. Although the money is nice, it is only a small part of the loot. I feel oppressed. Watch out whom you date–young people have no sense of equity any more, it seems.

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – The Iraqi Ministry of Defense on Thursday rejected media reports claiming that the US-led international coalition against the Islamic State had increased its number of troops in the country.
Although the exact number of coalition forces in Iraq is unknown, Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi recently approximated the number of troops in late 2018 to be around 8000, with 75 percent of them being American.
The amount, Abdul-Mahdi said, had been reduced by almost 3000 compared to January of that same year, a short while after Baghdad declared final victory over the Islamic State. Member states of the coalition shortly thereafter stated they would begin a gradual withdrawal process, which is still ongoing.
However, recent local media reports claimed the US' presence in the country had increased. This prompted some in the public sphere to support lawmakers who are campaigning to pass a bill aimed at expelling all foreign troops.
"There is no increase in the number of members of the International Coalition Mission in Iraq present for the purpose of training, logistical support, and consultation," the JOC said in a statement.
Local media also claimed that US forces had erected checkpoints and carried out arrests in several Iraqi cities.
The coalition was formed by the US in 2014, with 50 member states at first. There are now 74 countries, as well as international organizations such as INTERPOL and NATO contributing to the coalition's efforts.
Joint Operations Command spokesman Yahyah Rasool recently said that military vehicles seen in some cities belonged to NATO forces.
NATO plans to expand its activities in Iraq as part of a non-combat mission that focuses on training Iraqi forces and the Kurdish Peshmerga to ensure a lasting defeat of terrorist groups.


For this week's challenge, share something Colourful!
It has been a rather cold August so far…..
How I miss these lazy summer days!
I don't like taking selfies! Here is mine !
Here is a braver one!! Windswept hair on a recent game drive!


*. Colour from the Dark is another kick at the classic H. P. Lovecraft story "The Colour Out of Space," and in my estimation it's the worst of them all.
*. Why this particular story has been adapted so many times, when (as in this film) it is so loosely adhered to, is a mystery to me. Leaving that mystery aside, what we have here is the story of a small rural Italian homestead during the Second World War that awakens an evil force from the bottom of a well.
*. Two significant changes to the source story will have been noticed in just this brief description. In the first place there is no meteorite bringing the "colour" to Earth from "out of space." Second: this is an evil force. Not just unhealthy, like the apparently radioactive glow in Lovecraft, but corrupt in a spiritual sense. The force doesn't make humans sick, it possesses them and makes them spit on crucifixes and attack priests.
*. Just to expand a bit on this second point, I've written before about the almost comical inefficacy of religious officers in the battle against evil in recent films concerned with demonic possession. But the priest who comes to peform an exorcism in Colour from the Dark really outdoes himself, turning tail and running away as soon as he determines that "the devil is here." Not a good showing for the Church, padre. Unfortunately, for him, he comes back and, despite being better prepared for his battle with the devil, gets stabbed in the head with his own crucifix. So much for God! In Italy even!
*. I can't say much good about this one. It had no budget and tries too hard. I've read some people praising the photography but to me it looked like a telenovela. The script is a mess, full of people behaving in incredibly stupid ways and cluttered with extraneous plot elements that just distract us from the main story. The acting, espcecially by the male lead, is terrible. There's far too heavy a reliance on dream sequences, to the point where you give up trying to figure out if something is "really" happening until you're absolutely sure they're not going to cut to the character involved jumping up in bed covered in sweat.
*. But I think the real problem is the one I mentioned about trying too hard. Director Ivan Zuccon is firing in too many different directions at once. Why make Alice a mental case? Why bother with the doll? Why have so many dream sequences? Why include all that stuff about the corpse in the forest? Indeed, why set this story during wartime at all?
*. Well, it's not totally without interest. Not totally. The transformation of the farm into a dessicated wasteland looks OK, and the ending, though a downer, isn't bad. But honestly, I think you really need to have some time to kill to want to waste any of it on this one.

Airbags are one of the most important safety innovations of recent decades. They provide crucial cushioning for people during a crash. The devices are normally hidden from view but inflate instantly when a crash begins. Thanks to the advocacy of IIHS and others, frontal airbags have been required in all new passenger vehicles since the 1999 model year. Side airbags aren't specifically mandated, but nearly all manufacturers include them as standard equipment in order to meet federal side protection requirements.
Both frontal and side airbags save lives. Frontal airbags reduce driver fatalities in frontal crashes by 29 percent and fatalities of front-seat passengers age 13 and older by 32 percent. Side airbags that protect the head reduce a car driver's risk of death in driver-side crashes by 37 percent and an SUV driver's risk by 52 percent.
Engineers keep finding new ways to use airbags. Some vehicles now have rear-window curtain airbags to protect people in back seats or front-center airbags to keep drivers and front-seat passengers from hitting each other in a crash. There are also inflatable safety belts aimed at reducing rear-seat injuries.
Shopping for a used car? In addition to good crash test ratings, you'll want to look for side airbags that protect both the head and torso.


I plan to build a ground mount rack for my solar panels. I've seen a few different ways of building the rack and I'm not sure which would be best. There is the fully covered rack that the panels sit on top of and then there is an open slat type rack that the panels sit on top of. The slat type would be cheaper to build but the fully covered plywood type would be more sturdy. Which type would provide the best heating performance?
I've got the same project planned for whenever spring manages to make its way to my area. Im planning on a 2x6 frame with 2x6 slats probably 16" on center. You may have issues long term with plywood delamination from moisture. The pile of 2x6's I have left from a deck I took down has influenced my design a bit tho. I don't think there is any justification for the added cost of plywood.
That's pretty much how I built mine, all treated lumber.
I chose to top it with treated plywood, and painted it flat black. I wanted to reduce as much heat loss as possible from wind, as well as add to the heat by painting the rack deck black. I remove the solar panels & store them inside for winter, and wrap the whole rack with a tarp for winter.
That's a nice looking solar set up! I agree that there will be some gains from blocking the wind from behind and painting the deck black. Pressure treated CDX plywood should hold up pretty well. I would actually use an opaque, black stain rather than paint. It is easier to recoat in a few years than paint is. Opaque stain is great for all outdoor wood projects.
Is there any heat retention benefit from spraying the PVC pipes black too?
Thanks for the feedback! I didn't consider the loss of heat due to wind. Storing them indoors is also a great idea.
It probably would help a little. I doubt it would be noticeable tho.
Yes, I think that pvc pipes would absorb a fair amount more heat than white pvc would reflect.
I am ready to build some type of rack for solar panels. I had laid them on the ground, but they got damaged within a week. My pool was much warmer even though they were facing north. I have seen some that were made using pvc rather than wood. Wondering if that is study enough? I am planning on bringing the panels in for the winter. Does anyone have plans or pictures that they are willing to share. Looking for something that I can easily build and not too expensive for materials.
You would need a lot of fittings and pipe to make a frame with enough support for the panels. Not that it can't be done but it probably won't be that much cheaper than a wooden frame. I just finished getting my panels mounted and it looks a lot like the ones that dom did just maybe not as neatly done. Surface temp of that plywood gets HOT in the full sun I've seen it up over 160F. I'm really impressed with how much heat those panels put into the pool.
Surface temp of that plywood gets HOT in the full sun I've seen it up over 160F.
That means that it is not conducting to the panels very well. If it was conducting to the panels it would be just as cool as the panels. Wood is a terrible conductor of heat so most likely it is not adding much heat to the panels and most is being radiated away. Now if the surface was a metal, then it would probably conduct much better, be cooler and add to the panel heat.
Wasn't really expecting the wood to conduct heat into the panels much the same as an asphalt shingle will have about the same conductive properties if installed on a roof. The surface of the panels themselves is not much warmer than the pool water.
Not sure you get any significant conductive gains by adding a layer of metal to grab the heat in the space between the panels.

Q: How do I get an actual string into a char variable string (char variable with brackets) in Arduino? I have the problem with a NodeMCU with an ESP8266 and the ArduinoIDE:
I want the to use a softAP and the password for this is supposed to be generated randomly everytime the devices is starting, it is supposed to be 8 digits long, just enough to be displayed on my 8digit 7segment display.
I created a number that is being 8digits long and being converted to a String directly. Sadly, the "WiFi.softAP" command only accepts the variable type constant character, in brackets. How can I somehow get the string into a char with brackets or get WiFi.softAP to swallow a String type?
I am already this far:
MAX7219_7segment PWScreen(14,12,13);
String A,B,C;
const char *ssid = "Sellerie";

ESP8266WebServer server(80);

/* Just a little test message.  Go to http://192.168.4.1 in a web browser
 * connected to this access point to see it.
 */
void handleRoot() {
    server.send(200, "text/plain", C);
}

void setup() {
  int pw = random(10000000,99999999);
  String spassword = String(pw);
  //const char *password = spassword;
  pinMode(0, INPUT);  // D0
  pinMode(5, INPUT);  //D1
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(14, OUTPUT);
  delay(1000);
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.println();
  Serial.print("Configuring access point...");
  WiFi.softAP(ssid, spassword);
  IPAddress myIP = WiFi.softAPIP();
  Serial.print("AP IP address: ");
  Serial.println(myIP);
  server.on("/", handleRoot);
  server.begin();
  Serial.println("HTTP server started");
  PWScreen.write_number(pw);

Best regards
Sellerie

A: To solve this I simply uncommented the integer to string line
//const char *password = spassword;
and made const char *password = spassword; to const char *password = spassword.c_str(); as Bence Kaulics answered in the comment under my post, which works flawlessly.
Thanks!

Q: Motomama arduino motor shield issues I loaded up the example sketch for the itead Motomama on my Arduino Mega ADK and I see the green led's in the middle of the board slowly going on and off as expected from the sketch. The problem is, as soon as I connect a motor, well, nothing happens and the LED's don't do anything either (on the side that I connect the motor . . . the other side works fine). I use the same motors on the official Arduino Motor Shield and it works fine (using a 12V input).
When I check the voltages comming off the screw terminals I see it going from about -6 volts to 6 volts . . . much like when I check the volts on any PWM pins.
I tried connecting the power directly to the Vin/Ground pins on the shield and got the same result.
And, I connected a BTBee to the XBee socket and added a bit of sample code to send text from the Arduino through BT back to my phone (using a test app) and that part works fine too.
There are a couple of jumpers on the other side of the screw terminals and I can't help but wonder what they do but haven't seen anything in the (sparse) docs about them.
Any ideas?

A: There are jumpers next to the screw terminals. I can't find anything in the docs about what they do. But on a whim (and since there were no replies here) I switched the jumpers around and IT WORKS. The test program works. I'm a bit nervous about the fact that I input 12 volts and the motor is only getting about 6 volts (see an earlier question) . . . but this chip is WAY BIGGER and even has a heatsync and I feel like it's probably the culprit. There are docs about the L298N chip in the itead website I need to check out.


The following guest blog was written for Viewpoint Group by Jeff Dyer, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary is a charitable, community supported organization who serves 11,000 vulnerable children and youth in Calgary each year. Viewpoint Foundation and the Van Wielingen Family have donated almost $15 million to over 100 charitable organizations since 2001. Through this work, their office regularly engages with numerous not-for-profit professionals and volunteers, and they are thankful for the important work these individuals do every day to better our community and the lives of those in it. For this blog, they invited Jeff to share his experience building a career in the not-for-profit sector and to explore the theme of pursuing passion in one's profession.
I remember exactly where I was when I realized that I needed to find work for the rest of my life that felt like living and not like working. I was standing at the bottom of a climbing wall, belaying a group of elementary kids to the top of the wall while I was working at a summer camp in central Alberta. It was late in the summer and I had been averaging 15 hour work days and being paid less than $2 per hour. As crazy as that sounds, I was so captivated by the opportunity to help these kids climb beyond their fears, and do what they thought impossible regardless of how much (or little!) I was paid, or how many more hours of work I had that day. I would lay down at the end of the day feeling a deep sense of satisfaction before I quickly faded off to sleep. That feeling of satisfaction has been the thread that has woven across my 22-year career in the not-for-profit (NFP) sector, despite the fact that, like the wall, working in the NFP sector is both a grind and a joy.
The fact is, there are incredible benefits and bewildering challenges with a career in the NFP sector. The career tends to be full of paradox. You can make a difference in the life of a vulnerable person but consequently, are exposed to the sorrow associated with that vulnerability. You become acquainted with challenges that are too big for any one person to overcome but create meaningful collaborations with multiple parties working towards a shared cause. You get to do more with less becoming increasingly capable with scarcity, while constantly dealing with the challenge of not always having what you need. You begin your day knowing that the world is not quite how it should be but return home knowing you have spent your day in a way that almost certainly makes the world better than when you left home that morning.
As people experience big end of life questions, very few wish that they had worked more, made more, or hit year-end bonuses. What we know is that most wish they had taken a dream job or had chosen to do what they love instead of choosing the practicality of punching a clock. One challenge for those choosing to pursue a career in the NFP sector is that it tends to require employees to welcome a 'discount' on their paycheck. For each individual, the question then becomes whether that 'discount' is offset by the 'inflationary' experience of a career well spent. Putting it another way, is that view worth the climb?
As the CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Calgary, I know we are in the era of the 'free-agent employee.' We are no longer in a world where people land a job and stay in it for years, for decades or even longer. Each and every day, we are compelling people who have access to near unlimited opportunities, who can work anywhere, and who often make complete career changes over their working life. Knowing this, at the Boys & Girls Clubs, we are constantly asking ourselves: How can we be a better employer? How can we adapt so that our employees love coming to work? How can we put our teammate's financial concerns to rest so that they can be great at what we need them to do? We know that if we answer these questions well, we will make a world of difference for our employees and they will, in turn, improve the world for our kids.
As a team, we know that compensation is a part of overall job satisfaction. To help answer questions on financial concerns, we put everything related to compensation on the table: vacation policies, professional development, leadership training, benefit packages and more. Further, we realize that we must change our business model so that we can become increasingly equitable — if not generous towards those who come to work every day for our kids. Finally, we make sure that our culture is as healthy as possible, transforming towards open doors, flexibility, kindness, gratitude and integrity. And after all of this, we tip the balance in favour of the NFP sector by offering unmatched opportunities to spend your workday on things that will make the world noticeably better for the whole community or even for just one child. If we do all of that well, then we can transform an employee's experience in the NFP sector from a memory or aspiration into a career.
As I reflect on the past two decades, I have been the privileged witness to countless breakthroughs. As I look back, I can see kids who have climbed past their fears, the young and old who have journeyed from homelessness to home, others have become leaders and many who have been welcomed to belong in our communities after being marginalized and discounted for years or even generations. That is a rich history of outcomes, which I have been able to play a very small part in. I also own a good portion of my home, have travelled to wonderful places, have saved for my kids' education and have a good start at retirement. Contrary to popular myths, an NFP career is not agreeing to a life of austerity and poverty. Even so, if it all ended tomorrow, and I was facing the big end of life questions, I know with some degree of confidence that my work has had meaning beyond my bank account and the hours I have worked have been spent on a world that is better than when I started. For me, that is worth the climb and it is easy to put my head on my pillow at the end of a day and rest easy.

Q: Matlab supportpackageinstaller not presemt I have just installed a fresh copy of elementary OS freya in my lappy and after that did an installation of matlab R2012b. First I tried using the image acquisition commands but they didn't work as the library was not there. To install I typed
supportpackageinstaller

but it gave an error
Undefined function or variable 'supportPackageInstaller'.
This is the first time I am installing matlab on linux so I don't know how to solve the problem.

A: copied from: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/88896-how-to-install-add-on
the supportPackageInstaller is a new feature in R2013b and doesn't exist in older releases than R2013b. Which version are you using? If its not 13b you need to look up the support package on the File Exchange. Only for example Simulink Support Package for Arduino Mega 2560 Hardware (R2012a)

refer to another:

Q: Cantor diagonal process in Ascoli's theorem proof The proof of Ascoli's theorem uses the Cantor diagonal process in the following manner: since $f_n$ is uniformly bounded, in particular $f_n(x_1)$ is bounded and thus, the sequence $f_n(x_1)$ contains a convergent subsequence $f_{1,n}(x_1)$. Since $f_{1,n}$ is also bounded then $f_{1,n}$ contains a subsequence $f_{2,n}$ such that $f_{2,n}(x_2)$ is convergent. Iteratively, the sequence $f_ {k-1,n}$ contains a convergent subsequence $f_{k,n}$ such that $f_{k,n}(x_k)$ is convergent and $f_{k,n}(x_i)$ are also covergent whenever $i\leq k$ since $f_{i,n}(x_i)$ is convergent for all $i\leq k.$ As $k\to\infty$, then we have $f_{i,n}(x_i)\to f(x_i)$, we now construct the diagonal sequence $f_{k,k}$ convergent for each $x_i\in I$. The last step concerning the diagonal sequence $f_{k,k}$ is unclear to me, what confuses me are the integers $i$, $k$ and $n$. I need a clear and distinguishable explanation.

A: A subsequence of a sequence $(x_n)_n$ is just the same as an infinite subset $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$. If the subset $A$ is written (uniquely) in strictly increasing order as $A=\{n_1,n_2,n_3, \ldots\}$ with $n_i < n_j$ iff $i<j$, then the subsequence is also denoted $(x_{n_k})_k$, but this can get confusing when we take sub-subsequences etc. as we are doing here (introducing more and more indices). So I prefer to just write $(x_i)_{i \in A}$ instead.
I'd write it as: $f_n(x_1)$ is bounded so there is a subsequence $A_1$ such that $(f_i(x_1))_{i \in A_1}$ is convergent (to $y_1$ say). Then having $A_1 \supseteq A_2 \supseteq A_3 \ldots \supseteq A_n$ already defined (all infinite) such that $(f_i(x_n))_{i \in A_j}$ converges to $y_j$ for $j=1\ldots n$, then $f_{i}(x_{n+1}), i \in A_n$ is bounded and so there is some $A_{n+1} \subseteq A_n$ infinite such that $f_i(x_{n+1})$ converges to some $y_{n+1}$, etc. (recursive step)
This finishes the recursive definition.
So we get a decreasing sequence of sets $A_n$.
Then let $e_n(A)$ be the $n$-th element of an infinite set $A$ (in its increasing order). Then the diagonal subsequence is just the sequence $n \to  f_{e_n(A_n)}$. This is an infinite subset as $e_n(A_n) \le e_n(A_{n+1}) < e_{n+1}(A_{n+1})$ for all $n$. It converges pointwise to $y_n$ at the point $x_n$, for all $n$.

A: We are decreasing the index set of interest at each step.
Let $a_0:=(1,2,3,\dots) $. Then let $a_1$ be the sequence of indices making $f_{a_1(n)}(x_1)$ convergent.
Then $a_{k+1}$ picks indices only from $a_k$, making the required convergence.
Finally, consider $a:=(a_1(1), a_2(2), a_3(3), \dots)$ which is a subsequence of each $a_k$, with finitely many exceptions.

A: I see that you understand that we start with a sequence $(f_n)$ and recursively define sequences $(f_{k,n})$ and points $y_k$, $k =1, 2, ... $, such that
(1) $(f_{k,n})$ is a subsequence of $(f_{k-1,n})$ such that $(f_{k,n}(x_k))$ converges to $y_k$
where we set formally $f_{0,n} = f_n$.
Then clearly
(2) $(f_{k,n})$ is a subsequence of $(f_{i,n})$ for $i = 0,...,k$
(3) $\lim_{n \to \infty} f_{i,n}(x_i) = y_i$ for $i = 1,...,k$
$f_{k,n}$ is defined for all $(k,n)$, so we can define
$$f'_n = f_{n,n} .$$
This is a subsequence of $(f_{i,n})$ for each $i = 0,1,2, ...$, in particular one of $(f_n)$. But then for all $i$
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} f_{n,n}(x_i) = \lim_{n \to \infty} f_{i,n}(x_i) = y_i .$$

I went into medicine in order to become an obstetrician and gynecologist. I fell in love with the obstetrical part of women's care because of the involvement in the miracle of birth. In my opinion, there is no happier part of medicine. I am also drawn to the challenges of gynecology, and I am proud to be able to aid in women's healthcare from adolescence to post-menopause and all that falls in between.

(FOX 26) - Deputies say a homeowner in north Liberty County found a human skull in their front yard on Friday evening.
The homeowner told investigators they believed the skull was brought from the surrounding wooded area into their yard by their pet dog.
Heavy rains postponed a search of the surrounding area until Monday morning. Texas EquuSearch and the Liberty County Sheriff's Office Mounted Posse assisted in the search of the woods surrounding the home. The sheriff's office says conditions in the woods made searching difficult due to standing water and mud.
No additional remains have been located.
Investigators say the skull appears to have been exposed to weather conditions for several years. Due to the condition of the skull, authorities say it is not yet possible to determine if the remains washed up from a shallow grave or if the individual was, at some point, on top of the ground.
Investigators say it is possible the remains were carried into the area from a distant location by wildlife or flood waters that hit the area over the past several years.
The remains will be examined and the investigation continues.

To help you deal with that last question, here is a rundown of what to do when a tree falls on your house.
Clear the area. The first thing you should do after a tree falls on your property is to keep people away from it. Roping off the area or placing road cones around the fallen tree should help prevent anyone from injuring themselves.
Check for fallen power lines. A tree that falls on your property can do a lot of damage, especially to any power lines nearby. Before making any attempt to assess the damage to your property, make sure there aren't any downed power lines in the area. If there are, stay as far away from them as you can and alert the power company as soon as possible.
Notify your insurance company. Homeowners insurance is a smart investment that pays off for events such as a tree falling on your property. As soon as you know everyone is safe, contact your insurance provider and explain what happened. Chances are, it will contact a professional tree service. One benefit of working with Timber Warriors is that when an insurance company contacts us, we will send representatives to check on the damage within the hour. We understand how important it is to you to have a service that moves quickly at times like these.
If you're lucky, knowing what to do if a tree falls on your house is something you'll never have to experience. However, when it happens, you won't want to be left with more questions than answers. Make sure that you're prepared to deal with the unthinkable. Contact Timber Warriors or give us a call at 844-999-9246, and you'll be in a much better position to get back to your regular life sooner rather than later.


Well, almost. A final test at Silverstone on May 4, a week today, will see some of the cars in the new GT3 class on track, so that the equalisation procedure can be concluded - ahead of the opening two races on Saturday / Sunday (May 6-7).
There are some other, subtle changes: the Vipers will run with restrictors 30 % smaller than before – although if restrictors are reduced further, there is likely to be a reduction in the ballast carried.
'Something similar' could apply to the Ascaris too.
The Corvette ZO6s will be required to run with a 'restrictor plate' with a 75mm diameter.
The top 12 GT3 times at Dijon earlier this month are listed below. It looks as though the target time (for want of a better expression) was 1:20.
