I've had a Verizon HotSpot since 2009, but recently deactivated mine to save a whopping $10/month. It may have been unwise, but my use has been much less this year.
I'm counting on being able to tether to the iPhone when needed.
Very few images of Stephens Gap show this angle. The keyhole as we call it is a small opening on the upper side of the pit. At the very top it is just large enough for one person drop into. There is enough room however to rig two ropes and a second caver can drop in as soon as the first caver is about 10 feet down. At this level there is a small alcove in front of Sabrina as well as a window to her right looking out over the pit and main waterfall. Dropping a few feet more you pass though into the main section of the cave which bells out considerably. About eighty feet further and your on the pedestal rock. The pit drops another 30 feet to the bottom where the water crashes down and disappears into the rock below. For this shot we had two ropes - one for Sabrina and the other for me. Camera rig was double tethered to a tripod which in turn was double tethered to me. Safety is paramount when shooting in this environment. I have pulled the plug on shots in the past when things didn't feel right. Sometimes staying ahead means calling it a day and walking away empty handed knowing you can return to pull it off later. Fortunately this wasn't one of those days.

Just setting up the tether to the laptop, only to get a nasty shock about a minute after I plugged it in, straight off the camera. I can only presume it came down the USB cable, though I'd welcome any other insights. There was a big electric heater on the same extension as my laptop which may have had some bearing.
Besides the unpleasantness of getting a shock to the nose (it happened as I put my eye to the viewfinder) I was paranoid that the camera would be cooked, but it seems fine, over a month later.

These horses were tethered at Delta Lakes in Llanelli. Probably owned by the gypsy families which have tried to hide themselves within the trees near the beach end of the Lake.

Simply getting airborne at the start of the 20th century was an achievement, but getting back down to earth without ending up in a pile of broken wood and linen was an even greater one. Plenty of intrepid aviators met their end in homemade machines that managed one take off and no successful landings. Spectators in their thousands would turn up at the early airfields to watch young aviation pioneers pushing the limits of their flying machines.
Then came the Great War and with it galloping strides in aircraft development and flying skills. By the end of the war aircraft could fly higher and faster, were more reliable and their pilots more skilled. When the war was over there were hundreds of aeroplanes lying around that were no longer needed and that could be snapped up for peanuts by young daredevils who had caught the flying bug and weren’t very keen on spending the rest of their days working in an office. And so the flying circus was invented.
Airshows were staged at which members of the public could take joyrides for a few shillings or dollars. There were displays of terrifying loops and rolls and tricks like flying upside down. Naturally, the more outrageous and dangerous the stunt, the more the crowd enjoyed it, so if a young pilot wanted to make a living out of flying he had to come up with something a bit different Something that pushed the edges of the envelope a little further out.
In 1918 an American flier called Ormer Locklear came up with a stunt that was guaranteed to wow the crowds: he would climb out of the aeroplane and walk along the wing and even climb from one aeroplane onto to another. Apparently Locklear first clambered out of the cockpit to fix a technical problem while training during the war. A normal person would have landed and then sorted out the problem. Pretty soon you couldn’t operate a flying circus that didn’t have a wing walking act and Locklear was soon joined by numerous other daredevils including the wonderfully named Ethal Dare, the world’s first female wing walk who like Locklear would walk from plane to plane.
Not surprisingly there were a few mishaps. Ormer himself came a cropper while working on a film. These wing walk pioneers were operating without a safety net: no parachutes, no safety wires tethering them to the aircraft. A slip of the foot and it was the high dive for our brave showman or showgirl. In 1938 the authorities in America decided that parachutes had to be worn though by that time war was on its way and the show was about to close anyway.
Flying changed after the war. There were new goals like breaking the sound barrier, space exploration and the development of quiet, fast and comfortable airliners so that we could all go on foreign holidays relatively cheaply. In other words we’d got used to flying and some of the magic had gone out of it. There were still airshows with amazing displays of flying skills and some truly incredible modern jet fighter aircraft shattering greenhouse windows on high-speed fly pasts. But a little bit of the between-the-wars glamour had gone out of it.
But those barnstorming days of the ’20s and 30s and the characters who manned the flying circuses hadn’t been forgotten by those with a deep love of flying and a passion for its history. A few wing walking teams operated in America in the 1970s but it wasn’t until frustrated barnstormer Vic Norman founded his famous Aerosuperbatics wing walking team in the early 1980s that the sight of dare devils handstanding and flying upside down on the wing was seen in Europe.
Yes, the wing walkers are safely tethered to their Boeing Stearman biplanes, but the glamour, spectacle, sounds and atmosphere is just the same as it was when young and brave Ormer Locklear went for a dramatic 10ft stroll along the wing of his warplane in 1918.

Summer House @ Castlefield Gallery: Tether: DAY ZERO
Saturday, September 11, 2010 (14:00 - 20:00)
2-8pm + 6pm Discussion
TETHER / MAX WARBURG /CHARLENE LINDBERG / CALVIN SANGSTER / GRIN & SLUTSKY
TANGENTIAL TALKS BY JOANNE MASDING / TOM IRELAND / ANTHONY PESKINE / LESLEY GUY
Tether have invited artists and collectives from around the UK for an all day event at Max Warburg Manchester (formerly Castlefield Gallery). The event is a trailer for a larger project -‐taking place in 2011-‐ which seeks to condense and concentrate the lifespan of a conventional curatorial project into a short space of time without compromising the amount of content within the program.
From 2pm, Calvin Sangter will reflect on sensuality and exclusivity, launching his fragrance, Solve & Coagula, Charlene Lindberg will build a moving wall while cocktail shakers Grin & Slutsky will serve a new drink, The Black Swan.
From 6pm, artists will talk about a tangential passion in a 'soap box moment', that visitors will be energised and empowered to break free from the shackles of their self-‐doubt and join Max Warburg in speaking freely without inhibition. Subjects covered will be: bugs (true bugs, dead bugs and moths); the Apollo Space Program; Frankenstein; Poodles (drawing on ideas from domestic breeding of pets and our relationship to the natural world, to Eastern European literature and the Devil and the caves at Lascaux); and advertising.
Max Warburg is a curator based in Zurich and London. More at maxwarburggallery.blogspot.com/
Come and go as you wish between 2-6pm and/or join the discussion at 6pm.

Photographed this scene at Historic Spanish Point, in Osprey, FL. in late afternoon light on a very windy day. I know this is an old way to make a photograph, however, I liked the contrast of the orange mooring buoy against the B&W image...
So.. here's an interesting one that I'm guessing many of you probably aren't familiar with.
Transformers: Zone was part of the original Japanese G1 Transformers series. I believe it was the last of them, and only had a one episode OVA (original video animation) as lore behind it. This animated episode was never broadcast here (much like.. well pretty much everything past the Headmasters) though some of the toys (Micromasters) did make their way to North American shelves.
The main three Cybertrons (or Autobots) in this series are Dai Atlus, Sonic Bomber, and Roadfire. who each transformed into a vehicle, robot, and base. Furthemore, all could combine into a giant spaceship known as Big Powered.
Takara, as part of their Legends line, decided to retool some of the existing toys (Titans Returns/Legends) to create an updated version of this set for the fans of today to own. While I personally had no actual connection to the series, the previews looked pretty good and this was one of those niche Japanese releases I usually buy, so I figured why the hell not?
Well, fast forward about 6 months, and the set has finally arrived in my grubby hands. I cracked it open and as always, summarized my thoughts.
First and foremost, the original toys had base modes as they were meant to be played with various Micromaster figures. These new figures have base mode as homages to the original toys, but... yeah... they suck. Hard. Mostly because base modes in the Titans lineups were just limbs splayed left and right and lacked things like motorized platforms that made the brick like bases fun to play with. Furthermore, the bases did not appear to be able to be connected to one another, although Dai Atlus does feature parts to connect it to Fortress Maximus.
All 3 feature colour schemes that of course, are indicative of their G1 appearances. They are also more colourful than your typical Titans release, even in comparison to their Legends counterparts. Of course, given the target demographic of this set (higher end collectors willing to pay good money), this additional paint is kind of expected. Overall, the quality of paint applications is very good, with the areas of weakness being focused on the tiny, tiny faces of the Headmasters themselves, which is kind of understandable given the small confines within which painters have to work. Said Headmasters are, as one would expect, decently articulated given their size and the fact they are the same as your typical Titans release.
Roadfire (the red one) is a retool of the Deluxe Top Spin/Twin Twist figure. Of the three, this is the only figure that I had not played with in its original form. Vehicle mode (some sort of tank) is heavily modified from the source figure, but I have to say that robot mode pretty much screamed Twin Twist/Top Spin as soon as I saw it. The transformation itself was pretty neat, particularly with now the arms and back rotate into position in robot mode. Articulation is pretty typical for a Deluxe, which means most main points are articulation are present with the exception of ankles and wrist. The removable turret can be used as a weapon, though doing so makes the figure highly unbalanced, which isn't particularly hard to do given how massive the upper body is compared to the lower half.
Sonic Bomber (the black one) is a retool of the toy that became Misfire. It's definitely a bigger change than with Roadfire, as the feet are heavily modified from Misfire, but there is no mistaking the transformation sequence needed to take it from vehicle to robot mode. Sonic Bomb has a chest that is very reminiscent of the one for Misfire, and has identical shoulders and thighs. His weapon of choice is a much more reasonable laser pistol that can be held properly and posed with.
Finally, we have the big boss Dai Atlus, which is a retool of Sky Shadow/Overlord. Technically, Dai Atlus has two vehicle modes - a Shuttle, and a Tank, though if we're being completely honest neither of them seem particularly convincing. Dai Atlus is actually my biggest draw in this set. There was no mistake that they were going for a G1 bot look with this guy, and from that perspective Takara nailed it. It also helped that being an Ultra sized figure, Dai Atlus also got the most paint apps to make him look pretty. Being a retool, Dai Atlus shared the same strengths and weaknesses of the original toys. Articulation is pretty good, only really lacking wrist swivel, but those legs are horrible, being 99% empty if you look at it from the side or back (again, not the fault of the figure, as this was a problem even on the original toys). For some reason, one of the greatest strengths of Sky Shadow/Overlord, specifically their ability to split into two vehicles, was not carried over to this toy. Instead, the two halves are linked by this weird plastic tether that needs to be snapped in place hard when transforming into robot mode.
I guess the tether is to make Base mode a bit easier to set up, but when this was a neat feature of the original that you decide to cut, yet for some reason have an easy to separate waist piece for Roadfire, it almost screams budget restrictions to me. Dai Atlus comes armed with a laser pistol with blast shields on it for good measure. There is also a spring mounted drill tip on the nose of the Shuttle which I'm guessing is an homage to the original.
Conversion to Big Powered is pretty much what it looks like - a few folds here and there, and slap them pieces together. It certainly looks nice, but isn't exactly mind blowing in any shape or form.
And that was the Big Powered set. It's definitely not for everyone. In fact, I wouldn't even go out of my way to say it's an outstanding set. It's definitely not bad, and is pretty much what you would expect from each of these toys individually. But I was hoping that they'd fix some of the weak spots on each of these toys, most notably on the Dai Atlus figure, because those legs are terrible. They went through the trouble and fixed Super Ginrai as compared to his Powermaster Optimus Prime release - why couldn't they do it here?
As such, the set really is for the Japanese G1 enthusiast. Everyone else should probably just admire from afar.

Humour Entry
The poinsettia is an iconic holiday symbol of Encinitas, California. The holiday flower came to the United States from Mexico by an American botanist, physician and Minister to Mexico, Joel Roberts Poinsett in 1828. It was then further developed by Paul Ecke and his family and continues to be developed and hybridized by the company that Paul Ecke started. The company still accounts for 70 percent of the poinsettias sold in the U.S. and one half of the global market. The Ecke family sold the business in 2012. The Ecke name continues to be a significant part of the local tradition because of philanthropy of the family.

(even een versie 2 omdat mms en voicemail nu wel mogelijk zijn)
tethering?
jawel dankzij iphone software 3.0 is het dan legaal en illegaal mogelijk om je iPhone telefoon als modem te gebruiken voor je laptop
dus geen aparte dure extra internet kosten
cool toch?
maar waarom legaal en illegaal
nou dat komt omdat het legaal mogelijk is zonder hack je moet alleen beetje zoeken en niet eens zoveel tweaken
maar het is dus illegaal omdat T-mobile het nog niet toestaat
netwerk geschikt?
even voor de duidelijkheid er doen 44 landen mee aan de iPhone Campagne
alleen 22 landen hebben hun netwerk klaar om ook te kunnen tetheren
Nederland (T-Mobile) zit daar dus niet bij
waarom is het interessant?
je kent de reclame wel van de dongel
dat is dus dat je via een internet usb stick via UMTS en GPRS internet kan gebruiken op je mobiele laptop
zolang je maar netwerk heb
nu heeft de iPhone een modem in zijn behuizing waarmee je dus volwaardig kan internetten via UMTS en GPRS alleen heet het op de iphone 3G en EDGE
3G snel en EDGE langzaam
dat internet kan je tegenwoordig (sinds versie 3.0) gebruiken om te tetheren
alleen zegt T-Mobile dat hun netwerk niet geschikt is om de druk aan te kunnen
maar ik denk dat hier een addertje onder het gras zit
wat is het addertje?
ik denk dat er gewoon met KPN is afgesproken om tetheren niet te gebruiken omdat dan de dongel en t-mobile eigen mobile internet pakketten dan helemaal in het niet vallen
omdat je op je iPhone GRATIS internet
als je tenminste de actie aanbieding heb gekocht
je krijgt bij een verlenging van 2 jaar een iPhone met gratis internet ONBEPERKT met een internet snelheid van 2Mb/s voor 29.95 € in de maand
inclusief 150 belminuten en 150 smsjes
dat betekent dus dat als je kan tetheren, je voor 29,95 per maand een breedband internet aansluiting heb
geen betaling per MB zoals vaak wel het geval is, geen limiet van 50mb per maand(voorbeeld),
dit allemaal door OP JE IPHONE (dus niet op je PC cq laptop) naar:
helper.ben.at/help.php
te gaan
dan ga je naar>
tethering & internet settings
dan naar >
Download
dan naar>
Nederland
dan naar>
T-Mobile
dan naar>
install profiel
dan als hij ge instaleert is ga je naar:
instellingen
dan naar>
algemeen
dan naar>
stel opnieuw in
dan naar>
herstel netwerkinstellingen
dit omdat na het installeren de MMS (beeld berichten) en de VVP (voicemail)
verdwijnen
wil je na het installeren toch geen gebruik meer maken van tetheren
ga dan naar:
instellingen
dan naar algemeen
dan naar>
profiel
dan naar>
verwijderen
en je iPhone is weer de oude
je kan natuurlijk altijd nog een restre doen
Wikipedia:
Tethering in draadloze communicatie is de mogelijkheid om een apparaat zonder internetverbinding (zoals desktop, notebook of laptop) aan te sluiten op een mobiel apparaat (zoals gsm of PDA) met mobiel internet om zo toegang tot internet te verschaffen aan het apparaat zonder internetverbinding.
T-Mobile:
T-Mobile staat (voorlopig) geen tethering toe
T-Mobile Nederland heeft bij monde van een woordvoerster verklaard dat de provider voorlopig geen 'tethering' voor iPhones toe zal staan. Met de tetheringfunctionaliteit, die deel uitmaakt van de nieuwe iPhone 3.0-software, is het mogelijk om de 3G-internetverbinding van de iPhone te delen met bijvoorbeeld een laptop. Kortom, je iPhone als modem gebruiken.
T-Mobile geeft als verklaring dat het netwerk er niet klaar voor is. Daarnaast lijkt het ook om een financiële kwestie te gaan. Het bedrijf bevestigt namelijk wel dat de huidige iPhone-abonnementen op basis van onbeperkt dataverkeer zijn samengesteld, maar dat daarbij geen rekening is gehouden met tethering. T-Mobile onderzoekt momenteel welke aanpassingen voor de abonnementsprijzen en het mobiele netwerk nodig zijn om modemgebruik van de iPhone mogelijk te maken.
"Binnen de bestaande prijsplannen is daarvoor geen ruimte", aldus de woordvoerster. Het bedrijf vreest bovendien dat modemgebruik van de iPhone een te zware belasting voor het netwerk zou vormen, waardoor de gebruikservaring van andere iPhone-bezitters wordt aangetast. T-Mobile gooit de deur dus niet meteen helemaal dicht, maar laat deze nog op een kier staan al lijkt er nog weinig ruimte voor een gratis oplossing.
De houding van de provider wordt het bedrijf niet in dank afgenomen. Via verschillende mediums stroomt de kritiek op het bedrijf binnen. Veelgehoord argument van tegenstanders is het feit dat T-Mobile wel speciale abonnementen aanbiedt om onderweg met een laptop en een usb-dongle te kunnen internetten. Potentiële iPhone 3G S-klanten worden afgeschrikt door het nieuws en sommige van hen zien, door de terughoudende houding van T-Mobile, nu al af van hun aankoop.
iPhone-gebruikers vinden dat Apple iets zou moeten doen, maar verwachten ook dat men dan vervolgens van het kastje naar de muur gestuurd zal worden. Apple zou T-Mobile de zwarte piet toeschuiven en T-Mobile zou die op zijn beurt weer terugschuiven naar Apple. Voorlopig is tethering dus in ieder geval niet toegestaan via het netwerk van T-Mobile en zal ook standaard uitgeschakeld staan in de iPhone OS 3.0-software die Apple op 17 juni wereldwijd zal uitrollen.
Aanleiding voor alle commotie is een uitgelekt memo van de provider aan de T-Mobile Shops. Hierin valt te lezen dat tethering voorlopig niet ondersteund zal worden. T-Mobile wil de authenticiteit van het memo noch bevestigen noch ontkennen.
Liam Cripwell studies Information Technology and Law at QUT and helped design Tether – a woven glove system worn by two people that records patterns of movement as light and sound from one and prompts the other glove wearer to repeat them.
