RC Flight Training School-$650-Worth It?
I'm just now starting out RC flying. I have located a couple of RC training schools on the internet that offer 5 day beginner courses at their locations for around $650. Their internet sites make the schools look very worthwhile to me.
Attending one of these schools is something I'm very interested in at this point, I would like to get on a fast track with my initial training.
Can anyone here comment based on first hand knowledge about the value and student success at these kinds of schools?
Thank you.
Hello mate,
I'm sort of new to this hobby - had my plane since Christmas but can now fly it alone comfortably. I just wanted to share my view on your question as somebody who has just been on that same road.
Frankly - not worth it spending as much money on that. I think what you can do to get you up in the air as safe and as cheap as possible is to:
1) Buy yourself a simulator, and a cable for your Transmitter (or a USB Transmitter - FMS Sim package comes with one) and of course learn the hand-eye coordination on the Sim
2) Once you got that covered, find the local club, or simply, the local field where people gather to fly, make friends with them, and have the most outgoing and cool guy help you out That's pretty much what I did.
All you need is like a couple of lessons (of course that depends on your personal skill set), but overall I think you can definitely save that money, and have some of your "new friends" fly your plane's maiden flight, take it up in the air and either buddy-box with you (two transmitters hooked up through a cable, thus you both control the plate - the "instructor" will be able to take control if you lose it), or just share one transmitter (like what I did on my first flight).
I think that only if you hit a dead end here can you go ahead paying for the lessons. Of course, lessons are quick, to the point, pro, and all that good stuff, but if you don't have lots of cash just laying around I'd go for the underground flying school - i.e. abuse your friends

I knew a guy 6 years ago or so that went to one......he had some training with us but had not solo'd if I remember right.....he could fly alone when he finished that class. But for the money he spent he wasn't that much better of a pilot

I personally wouldn't... you can buy a lot of inexpensive planes for that kinda money.
I learned to fly myself with a wingo electric trainer. That thing was still flying years later, depsite a lot of crashes. AND, I think the plane itself was less than $100. (your radio, engine, esc, gear etc probably won't get destroyed in a crash, especially with a wingo type plane)
Combine that with the above simulator and people willing to help at the clubs, you'll be alot farther ahead!

No, what can you buy for 650 and crash?
A good radio and rx, then some cheap park flyers and a one good mid size plane.
I got a h9 super stick arf $100 Futaba 7c and rx $260 and os max-h 40 $24. Granted I went out with my dad to learn to fly (some) and drove it into the ground a few weeks later. I could buy two more and crash them or get a flight sim the Dynam 6CH USB RC Fight Simulator for Radio Controlled Airplanes and Helicopters is like $25 and should serve good enough.
Much of the training is in protocol, safety, rules, tuning motors, setting up your/thier plane, etc, etc.. as well as flying. If you have the 650 and want a fast, organized "compressed" learning curve.. go for it. Find out how many are there with you.. are one on one with an instructor?

I think the best way and the cheaps is to find a club in your area and go talk to them. most clubs have a instr. and a trainer that they teach pilots on and most of the pilots there will help you.I bought one of those cheap simalator off ebay and work with it at home. when you get ready to buy your own plane you can go on tawer hobby and get the hole plane transmitter and every thing{ READY TO FLY} for less then the 650.00 you will spend to go to one of the schools.And going to one of those is not going to stop you from crashing.good luck.
^ What those guys said. Get a transmitter and buy a cheap high-wing plane like J3 Cub. Get an experienced RC pilot to help you set it up (control throws, servo centring, CG etc) and then help you learn to fly at club days or whatever.
I started with a micro P-51 but I'd highly recommend my second plane - the HobbyKing 'J3 Green' - as it cost about $75 shipped ready to fly and has suffered a lot of hard crashes... but still flies very well and is a lot of fun. Very learner friendly, too.

No worries mate, just make sure you buy it as the $19.95 kit and fit components to it of your choosing. I don't trust the ARF/RTF-type running gear at this price scale. PM me or look through my blog if you want some more details.
On the landings, you'll get a hand for it. Biggest thing I found was learning the glide slope for a plane on low/no throttle and going into the wind.
Cheers - boingk
I would get a J3 just yet and I'm a cub fan.
They have a narrow landing gear and suffer alot from adverse yaw( IE the nose pitches up real bad in a turn.
If you really want a plane that is easy to land get a twist, but remeber the twist can teach you bad habits as it is very forgiving.
Kerwin - this one isnt a true to scale model, but looks good in the air anyways. Biggest 'non-scale' item are the landing gear. They're fairly wide and have largish tyres on them. I've been able to land on good grass fairly easily, and tarmac is a no-brainer.
Did you end up buying anything to learn on yet, itsme2?

If you already have a plane look at it this way.
Tower trainers from tower hobbies are 90.00 shipped that means that you could have 7 arf and still have 20.00 to spend on glue and other stuff. Not to be harsh or anything, but you would have to be STUPID to spend that kind of money on something like that. Especialy when u could go to your local club buy a membership and have the trainer there teach you. So 7 planes at least 2 crashes before they are unrepairable or go the the club and save that money to get a really nice sport plane later. Come on REALLY?
Training Schools
Since this thread is ranking highly on Google, I thought I'd put in a reply for novices.
As already stated, most clubs have established training programs to get you through the initial stages.
Usually this is FREE with your club membership.
Some clubs have elaborate and very well structured programs that rival the "pay for" schools at no additional expense.

Check the AMA site for clubs in your area.

Twelve of 13 diabetics with azotemic nephropathy experienced exacerbation of renal failure and decreased insulin requirement after coronary angiography utilizing radiographic contrast material. The single patient who did not develop acute renal failure had no evidence of decreased insulin requirement. Eleven of 12 patients had decreased insulin requirement: mean decrement in insulin dose, 40%; mean decrement in fasting blood glucose level, 33%; mean decrement in peak blood glucose level, 42%. The 12th patient underwent peritoneal dialysis against hypertonic glucose without need of an increased insulin dose. Eight of 11 patients experienced a total of 19 insulin reactions; one patient was hypoglycemic continuously, despite infusion of glucose and discontinuation of insulin. The decrement of insulin requirement was not proportional to the rise in either serum creatinine or potassium concentrations. We suggest that when acute renal failure occurs in diabetics, decreased insulin requirement should be anticipated and the insulin dose lowered.

The solidification morphology of the Zn-Bi monotectic alloy is studied through directional solidifcation processing. It is shown that the aligned growth depends on the crystallography of the solid-liquid interface. The best alignment of the monotectic liquid phase (L 2) occurs when the growth direction is [0001]Zn followed by that of [10\(\bar 1\)0]Zn. Aligned growth could not be observed in other growth directions. A parametric approach is adopted, which incorporates the mechanical stability of the three phases at the growing interface and Derby and Favier's criterion for monotectic growth, derived from Jackson and Hunt theory of coupled growth, to identify the possible window of growth conditions and phase spacings where aligned growth is possible.

Give credit to the person responsible for updating the Potter County Sheriff's Department Web site.
Whoever it is, he/she is as timely as the ticker at the bottom of a sports television channel or the scrawl at the bottom of a cable news network.
The history of the sheriff's office, more specifically the names of the occupants and the dates of their terms, was current as of Tuesday.
That's being on the ball, because Potter County's relationships with sheriffs last about as long as a marriage to Liz Taylor, and are about as messy.
Where's Andy Griffith when you need him?
The soap opera of former Sheriff Mike Shumate, now a resident of the Armstrong County Jail after being found guilty of bribery, is just the latest chapter in the county's sheriff saga.
Since James R. Gober became the county's first sheriff in 1887, the county has had 22 sheriffs.
Of that number, two (Paul G. Gaither and T.L. Baker) had interrupted terms.
The county has had four acting sheriffs, and as many as five sheriffs whose terms only lasted a few days to a couple of months.
The latest sheriff who barely had time to shine a badge was Roger Haney, a former captain who was appointed judicially to replace Shumate. Haney's stint lasted about a week until commissioners appointed former Texas Department of Public Safety lieutenant Ron Boyter this past Friday. Boyter will serve about six months, which actually gives him seniority over five of the previous sheriffs, dating back to Gober.
That seems to be the political nature of the office, at least in Potter County.
And it started with Gober.
According to "Cowboy Justice: Tale of a Texas Lawman," a book of memoirs penned by Gober himself, the dramatics in the sheriff's office are nothing new.
Gober tells the story of a Dallam County sheriff who allegedly tried to pin the theft of a mule on Gober in order to look good and gain votes in a re-election. Gober had to appear before the county judge to clear his name. The charges were dismissed. Gober had friends in the Dalhart area, and asked them to make sure the sheriff was defeated at the ballot box. And he was.
"(I) wondered how such a man could live in a civilized community, much less get to be sheriff ..." Gober wrote.
Baker's time in office rivals Shumate as far as newspaper copy and television time.
Baker was cleared on charges of official misconduct and possible removal from office in 1978. A jury of nine women and three men voted 10-2 in Baker's favor. And just like Shumate's all-female jury, the jurors were shedding tears. "Some ladies even cried in the jury room trying to make the right decision," jury foreman Gilbert Muddell said.
The Amarillo Globe-News backed Baker in his re-election bid in 1980, calling the charges "shallow" in an editorial. Baker and his Chief Deputy, Don Smith, resigned in 1983 to pursue operation of a private prison.
History indicates that the office of Potter County sheriff is, putting it mildly, interesting.
What the office needs is a little boredom.
You don't say
Opinions others won't give: It must be reassuring for radio yapper Don Imus to know that NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones is praying for him. That was Jones' reaction to Imus' supposedly racist comments about Jones' vast experience with law enforcement - on the wrong side. In a weak attempt to make amends for previous racially tinged comments, Imus seemed to blame Jones' legal problems on race. Please. Jones has his Miranda rights memorized by now. Jones had seven altercations with law enforcement from July 2005 to February 2007, and that's just part of his lengthy rap sheet. Jones is his own worst enemy. And that comes from the inside, not from the outside - the color of his skin.
A pat on the back ...
To Randall County Judge Ernie Houdashell: Randall County is considering a 2.5-percent cost-of-living increase for its full-time employees. It remains to be seen how much grumbling there will be within the county, but Houdashell said in the Wednesday Amarillo Globe-News that the county will publish the salaries of elected officials in the newspaper. Taxpayers have a right to easy access to such information. As for the county, it will lessen the sting if the public knows what its elected officials are getting paid. Government at all levels would be surprised what a little openness will provide.
and a kick in the pants.
To New Mexico and Texas: One of these states is doing something wrong. New Mexico is one of 28 states that does not participate in the federal abstinence education program. Texas is getting $3.6 million this year, the most of any state. However, New Mexico and Texas tied for the worst teen pregnancy rate in the country in 2005, with 62 births per 1,000 females ages 15-19, according to the recent "Kids Count" report. And local areas are part of the problem. According to "Kids Count," Potter County in Texas ranked 163 out of 253 participating counties in 2004 with an 18.8 percent birth rate for teens ages 13-19. (The higher the ranking, the worse it is.) In 2004, New Mexico's Curry County was 24th out of 33 counties in births to teen mothers.

No doubt about it, the Internet has made shopping for auto insurance more convenient than ever. But there's always the temptation to click, buy, and just be done with itwithout taking the time to think through your actual auto insurance needs.
Before you get too click-happy, it's a good idea to research the coverage that makes sense for your particular auto insurance situation.
If you're an auto insurance rookie, we've put together a first-time auto insurance buyer's guide to get you started, complete with information on getting quotes and an easy-to-understand overview of auto insurance coverage types.
If you already have auto insurance, jot down your current premium and coverage amounts (including deductibles), and note any discounts you're receiving. Having your baseline premium and coverage amounts available for reference helps you make accurate comparisons as you shop.
A gap in auto insurance coverage occurs when you're not covered by any policy at all. If you're thinking of letting your current coverage lapse as you shop, here's some good, free advice: Don't!
More free advice: If you're currently insured, don't cancel your current auto insurance policy until your new policy is active. Once you've been notified that your new policy is in effect, it only takes a few minutes to call and cancel your old policy. If it's easier, simply contact your agent who can handle this for you.
One of the great things about getting an auto insurance quote online is that you can shop and make decisions at your own pace. So while you're getting quotes, take your time and make the quote tools work for you. Explore how different coverage amounts and combinations affect your premium, and don't forget to scout around for all the discounts you may be eligible for.
You'll probably see a range of prices when you're shopping for auto insurance online. It's true that premiums can vary widely, so make sure you're comparing similar coverage features, limits and deductibles.
Choosing your auto insurance provider is an important decision. From online customer service to prompt and fair claims handling, you need to be comfortable with the company you choose. So pick up the phone and talk to a real live agent before you purchase a policy.
*This information was obtained by the Pennsylvania Auto Theft Prevention Authority at www.watchyourcar.org.
The availability, qualifications and amounts of these coverages and discounts may vary from state to state. In addition, other terms, conditions and exclusions not described above may apply, and total savings may vary depending on the coverages purchased. In some states, we may offer coverages and discounts that are not listed here. For more information regarding your eligibility for certain coverages and savings opportunities, please contact your Allstate agent.

A former Meals on Wheels delivery man ripped off clients in
Christchurch and took cheques and credit cards from them,
police say.
The 29-year-old man delivered to 115 homes and had conned
cards and pin numbers from some victims, Detective Sergeant
Darryl Sweeney said.
He said police were trying to contact all of the people on
the man's delivery run but needed families and neighbours to
keep an eye out.
The man was fired in April for dishonesty.
He was also known to have posed as a police officer, a
Telecom contractor and a bank manager, and had also taken
vouchers from service stations while distracting the shop
Police were not able to name the man, but described him as
Caucausian, 173cm tall with sandy blonde hair.
There was a warrant out for his arrest.

Is it possible to define AD DS domain/forest functional levels from domain joined workstation? Preferably through CLI/PS and if possible w/o Domain Admin rights... How I can accomplish it?
The following Powershell does not require admin or domain admin access, I've tested as a limited user on a domain-joined workstation with Powershell v2/v3. It does not require any third party tools or Powershell modules.
The values returned will represent a distinct functional level:
Just a complementary solution to the accepted answer, as I ended up here more or less with the same need. The difference is one gets the level name decoded:
You just want to check it or actually change it? Changing it would require certain administrative rights on the domain/forest.
The easiest way I can think of without dsquery or PS Get-ADDomain (which would require importing the AD module) is to use Joeware's ADFIND command.
Example output from my domain:
You need to ask this question a little differently, because I'm not sure what you are trying to do- The way this reads is that you want a powershell script or batch file that can perform extremely administrative tasks without running as a user that is able to perform those tasks. If that's what you are asking, it's not possible, by design.
However, if you are asking about administering AD from a workstation, by handing a user a script that can run commands the user otherwise would not be able to (i.e. you want to query AD from an unprivileged service account), we would need to know what version of Powershell you are using, and what version of Server you are using.
You might also consider AD web services for one-at-a-time tasks that you wish to delegate.
From a TechNet post: Run The below DSQUERY
Dsquery * CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,DC=Mydomain,DC=com -scope base -attr msDS-Behavior-Version
Output: msDS-Behavior-Version 2
The attributes that indicates DFL and FFL: - Forest level setting
Name: msDS-Behavior-Version Path: CN=Partitions, CN=Configuration, DC=, DC=com
Value: 0 or not set=mixed level forest
1=Windows Server 2003 interim forest level 2=Windows Server 2003 forest level 3=Windows Server 2008 forest level
Name: msDS-Behavior-Version Path: DC=, DC=, DC=com (domain root) Value: 0 or not set=mixed level domain
1=Windows Server 2003 domain level 2=Windows Server 2003 domain level 3=Windows Server 2008 domain level
Name: ntMixedDomain
Path: DC=, DC=, DC=com (domain root)
Value: 0=Native level domain 1=Mixed level domain
I'm not sure about the role requirements of the user to run this, but you're not changing anything with it and it's all using DSQUERY (From the RSAT, free download from Microsoft). Comment if we need to look at that end of it.

Netflix will focus on homegrown shows following Arrested Development success
House of Cards also a 'tremendous asset'
TELEVISION AND MOVIES ON DEMAND SERVICE Netflix has published its latest financial results, showing a gain in subscribers.
The firm talked about a period in which it released its exclusive series of the cult sitcom Arrested Development and the prison drama Orange is the New Black.
A live video interview posted by the firm makes you wonder how it is successful in the media market. The video put the low into low budget and on occasion you can hear the noise that a volume button makes when it is turned up.
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings appeared in the video with CFO David Wells and CCO Ted Sarandos. In it they answered questions from the financial and media industry press that were funneled through a couple of interviewers.
Hastings countered criticisms about the format for the investors meeting by saying that he would let them decide once it was over.
Net adds or new subscribers have been high, according to Hastings, and he said Arrested Development and other original content like House of Cards are likely to turn into real franchises and "tremendous assets". Hastings said that he doesn't consider churn, but does check net additions every day.
Arrested Development added "a little rise" but is not particularly significant, he added. He said that Arrested Development is "part of the network mix".
The firm apparently was not keen to put too much emphasis on Arrested Development, and Hastings said that it is a good thing to work with a show that has an existing fanbase.
More chatworthy were the fully home grown shows, and he mentioned expecting House of Cards to have a series four.
Fourth quarter margins are expected to decline "dramatically", but the firm believes people are becoming more confident in its ability to create original programming. Orange is the New Black, for example, had as strong a launch as any of the other original shows.
The firm is not announcing actual viewer numbers for separate shows, but suggested that if second series are approved then the shows are popular. Orange is the New Black was commissioned for a second series before it even hit the content network.
Netflix has 30 million domestic US subscribers and eight million international members. Hasting said that it will be "pretty unlikely" for the firm to increase its prices over the next 12 months. µ

So while we are waiting for the LN translations, why don't we discuss about our favorite plays by the Keishin team?
Mine are these:
1. Hinata taking a charge from Takenaka
2. Hina's incredible no-look shot vs Miyu's team
3. Tomoka cutting through two defenders and Miyu expected her to take the shot, only for Maho to take a jump shot from mid-range. THAT. WAS. AWESOME.

I think he meant the sport festival tournament.
To be honest, I can't remember whether they won the whole thing or not, after all that was not the central plot. The the goal was to just beat class D (?) who happen to have many members from boys' basketball team in addition that both class have long been rivals. Not only that, I usually just skim through basketball part since I'm enjoy more in the character interaction, in addition without visual, those games can be a pretty dry read.

Hm. IMO it doesn't matter whether the girls won the sports festival or not. But THAT buzzer-beater by Hinata WAS. FREAKING. AWESOME.
Between the b-ball part and the character interaction, I can go both ways. What's incredible to me is that RKB didn't involve too much basketball but still managed to show how the girls play individually and as a team, unlike SD which IMO relied too much on the b-ball part to progress the story. There sure were "cheesy" moments (Sakuragi/Haruko, Ryota/Ayako, etc), but most of the time it's the sport that drives the plot. RKB, not so much.
But I do understand that if that's what it took to educate the viewers about basketball, it sure is definitely worth it. After all, SD more or less popularized the sport in Japan when it was all about baseball or whatever.

Oh yes, the beautiful game. I wonder why soccer has not yet been moe-fied AFAIK though, considering the victory of the Japanese Barcelona in the FIFA Women's Cup. I guess soccer is a complicated game.

I checked through it quickly, and it seems that it closed from 10-8 (C leading), even after C mystified D with many girls to cover seriously. And Maho seemed to have put silently the ball in the basket at the end.

But seriously, there were are enough out there not to mention the two classics that are still currently on-going: Major(1994-) for baseball, and Captain Tsubasa (1981-) for soccer.
And if you want to be picky the hugely popular Inazuma Eleven anime is a shota-fied version.

I currently have a win7 and ubuntu dual boot on my laptop (Sony VAIO) but want to add os x for a triple boot setup.
Thanks to system reserved and hidden backup partitions I have long since run out of primary partitions on my hard drive.
My question is, can I boot os x from a logical partition? If so, will I be able to keep just one boot menu (currently grub) and choose which os to boot from there?
Would there be any benefit for me to try and rearrange my partitions (major hassle) to get os x on a primary?

Russia: Pro-Putin conductor denies further allegations that he supports anti-gay law
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I love him as a conductor.
As a person, I suspect he is very much like MOST other great conductors: egocentric.
I don't mean this in an insulting way, but rather, most great conductors seem to be out of touch with the reality of people around them, often even those they conduct.
I studied/apprenticed under a great Russian conductor for 5 years, and while I admired the man musically, his world views were strangely child-like. This is what I'm seeing in Gergiev, an apparent lack of understanding or empathy with the "real world".
Conductors are strange people, so deeply involved in the music they are creating, that they seem to forget that there are actual, real people around them.
The old joke would be far more applicable to orchestral conductors:
What's the difference between God and an orchestral conductor?
God doesn't think he is a conductor.
Gergiev is like his pal Putin. He doesn't support discrimination against gays. In fact, just like his Putin-supporting compatriot Lady McNetrebko, he may have some anonymous gay friends – or at least be forced to work with some in the classical music business. But despite the sorry situation of some many artists and patrons being overtly "that way," Valery and Anna carry on and try to hide their distaste for the sake of their art. No, he doesn't discriminate against gays; he just wants them all to stay in the closet "to protect the children." And if Putin's government has created a homophobic climate of ugly violence against gays, well that's just a minor side effect of protecting children. The important thing is that Russia is strong and that requires a strong leader – even if hate and oppression are part and parcel of this tyrant's reign.
But if any city should welcome Gergiev with open arms, it's Munich. Maybe he can conduct special beer hall concerts on April 20.
"for the sake of their art"
You mean for the sake of their wallets …
I think it is outrageous that this disgusting bigot is acclaimed by Westerners even as his buddy Putin proceed with a pogrom against people.
Do you actually know what a pogrom is?
Is so you might know how offensive that is.
Pogroms is what you regularly deny took place in the 1990s Balkans. In spite of the UN officially recognising it as a genocide.

If I'm a War Cleric, and I cast Divine Favor on myself and I use two light weapons and they both hit, do I add the extra damage twice since both weapons hit, or just once since both weapons are part of one attack?

Divine favor adds to all weapon damage rolls; every successful hit with a weapon gets the bonus damage.
That's a bonus to your damage rolls, just like increasing your strength gives you a bonus to damage rolls. It applies to every roll.
Many extra action features targets the attack action, such as Extra Attack, Two Weapons Fighting, Flurry of blows, or Archery Master feat. They do not apply to all attacks, for example they are not triggered when you cast an attack spell or use your reaction to do an opportunity attack.
Many extra damage and defense features targets attack(s). When something says when you hit or miss, it also is in this camp. Bless, Divine Favor, Improved Divine Smite, Sneak Attack, Heavy Armor Master feat, enhancement bonus etc. all applies to individual attacks. They applies to any applicable attacks.
So, your Divine Favor bonus applies to every weapon hit (not every damage roll).

Hi, thank you so much for all your hard work on this plug in. I have 2 pretty urgent problems:
1. everytime I log into the Events Calendar Dashboard, I get this error message in a small pink box on the left side, next to the Add Event title:
! Warning X
that's it. no suggestions of what to do, or what the warning is for, although when I click the box, it does go away. And, I wonder if this error is also the cause of my next problem:
2. My calendar won't go past August, and no longer uploads my data when I enter it.
sigh. Hope you can help. I'm using WP2.8.2, on FireFox3.5 on a MacBookPro.
hopeful thanks,

I have a Macbook with an external display. I use both displays and when I do a screen capture (⌘ + ⇧ + 3) I get two files on the desktop, one for each display. Is there a way to choose which display to grab the screenshot from when doing the screen capture?
You might use ⇧⌘4 (Save picture of selected area as a file) and just drag the selection around one display.
screencapture -m only captures the main display:
I don't know if -S supposed to capture the display of the selected window, but options like -Sw or -SW only seemed to capture the selected window.
-R (rect) captures a specified area:
Thanks to Lauri Ranta's answer, I made a Keyboard Maestro shortcut. I thought I'd share it so that other people can re-use it.

For the second consecutive season, the West Texas A&M volleyball team's season ended at the hands of BYU-Hawaii.
The No. 6 Lady Buffs lost to the No. 4 Seasiders in the NCAA Division II national championship semifinals on Friday, 25-20, 25-22, 19-25, 21-25, 15-11, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
BYU-Hawaii (29-1) knocked off the Lady Buffs (35-4) in the quarterfinals a season ago and is undefeated against WT at 4-0.
"Credit to BYU-Hawaii," WT coach Jason Skoch said. "They played good. We were timid. We were reserved. We just came out flat.
"Some of the girls were having horrific games and then we turned it around. It's just painful because the match was in our hands. We had a chance. We had the momentum and had the opportunities."
Despite the loss, senior middle blocker Laura Iwuchukwu was impressed with the fight the Lady Buffs displayed.
"It was a very tense match," Iwuchukwu said. "We started off down 2-0. We didn't want to give up. We picked it back up and continued to fight for each other. We were doing really well in the fifth set and then we had some errors.
"For the most part, I'm proud that we were able to fight."
Skoch said the fifth set could have gone either way as WT held an 8-4 lead.
"We had this big lead," Skoch said. "We didn't want to take that small little step to pass the ball. Suddenly we started passing bad. We tightened up again. It was a game of inches. There were six points that we had, that the advantage was ours but it turned in their favor.
"It was a great game. I hope people watched it. It was fun."
Skoch said the Lady Buffs still had a great season, with several girls not even on the team a season ago being big contributors.
"After the first week, even though we went undefeated in our tournament, we knew we had some major issues," Skoch said. "After the Premier (tournament), it was exposed. Then I was surprised to hear we hadn't lost since Sept. 14. It's just cool because the sum of the whole is bigger than the individual pieces. It's truly a team effort.
"It was a fun year, a great year."
Iwuchukwu, a senior, was happy to be a part of the maroon-and-white tradition.
"I was able to learn through the tradition and volleyball heritage here at WT," Iwuchuwku said. "I was able to learn what it means to win.
"For me, I had a lot of pride in being able to play for WT."

Sometimes during boot-up (there's no pattern that I can make out) Windows XP will get stuck at the blue 'Welcome' screen. If I press Esc or Enter then Windows continues to boot up and everything is fine, any other key and it just sits there. It's like there's a dialogue box hidden behind the blue.
Has anyone encountered this before or knows what it might be?
Edit: Just been thinking again about ChrisF's reply. While I don't have any thumbdrives, etc attached I do use a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and Mouse. This thing loves to tell me that its batteries are running low (sometimes as early as five minutes after a replacement) by popping up a dialogue box. Is this likely to be the cause?

I love your great plugin!
But I noticed the following issue:
If I use your plugin to insert a widget to a whole categorie of posts it works fine for all old posts.
But if I post new articles to this categorie the widget is not shown on these articles.
I have to unset the categorie in your plugin and have to set it again.
maybe you can fix this?
Best regards & thanx,

Can Command Queuing Turbo Charge SATA?
What Is It All Good For?
In order to make the differences between TCQ and NCQ clear, we tested the technology with four different hard drives: Two Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 with 160 GB, whereas one of them operates with 32 step NCQ and the other one without this feature. Furthermore, we included the fastest Serial ATA drives: Western Digital's Raptor at 36 GB and the faster model with 74 GB and TCQ. Unfortunately, it was not possible to directly compare TCQ and non-TCQ operations with the last two drives because of technical differences (7,200 vs. 10,000 rpm).
Working at 10,000 rpm, Western Digital's Raptor still is the fastest SATA drive available.

I just saw this linked to on Tumblr, and it's a stylish and charming action shot of the lovely Lieutenant! Nicely done!
How is she maintaining her balance?
Goodness, she's looking white.
I'm trying to recall if Uhura ever used a phaser.....Oh well, this is a refreshing style. I haven't seen anything like it and I thank you for contributing to Uhura Lover Unite!
For all that I'm a Star Trek fan and for all the admiration and love I have for Uhura you know I'm impressed with this art Mike!
Very nice. I love the limited color pallet, gives it sort of a "vintage" feel.
My favorite of yours so far

Cute I love how you've done her hair, and those awesome boots. And the stylised planet is about 500% more realistic than the original Trek sets
haha! i love those old trek sets! there's such an aesthetic appeal to them.
This really captures her spirit and girlishness and is cute as hell. And beautiful colors.
Aw, Uhura looks lovely! You have a great art style. I love the colors you choose. ]:3
haha yk, i thought i already collected this since I'd put a copy of this in my LJ scrapbook as one of my favorites and then i saw this again and did a double take! lol
was this on dA under some other account? or re-uploaded? i feel like maybe i'm seeing things. lol
anyway---this does happen to be one of my favorite Uhura pics. <3

Ajungilak D-Lux Pump Mat airbed: 65 per cent smaller pack
Ajungilak's D-Lux Pump Mat is a world first. It's more packable and, thanks to its uniquely placed footpump, eliminates the need for any oral blowing of air drastically reducing the risk of ice developing on the inside of the mat.
Uniquely a foot-pump is buried inside the mat's foam pillow – activate the foot pump and the mat will inflate in next to no time. With foam only in the pillow the D-Lux Pump Mat is highly packable – it has a 65% smaller pack size when compared to conventional self-inflating mats of the same thickness.
A contoured surface guarantees enables relaxed sleeping. Two extra-large valves help evacuate the air in double-quick time and the easy-to-use packing straps are built-in too. With Ajungilak's award-winning MTI12 synthetic fibre filling, Ajungilak's D-Lux Pump Mat is an essential partner for all outdoor ventures.
Weighing in at only 890g, it will pack up to 25 x 15cm. However, you get what you pay for in camping goods, and at £110, you get the comfort and insulation benefits of an airbed in a highly compact format.

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009
It always makes me feel old to start a post with "When I was a kid …"
But when I was a kid it was embarrassing to be seen in public with ripped clothes. Outside of the playground, after an afternoon of rough-housing, wearing torn pants in a social setting or at school would send the message that your family is too poor to even mend the damaged garment, let alone replace it.
Today it's all the rage to walk around with your knee protruding from a pair of jeans, and they are even sold that way. I find myself fighting with my two sons (the younger likely modeling the older) to prevent them from leaving the house that way. Inevitably I come across like the old coot who just doesn't get it.
I guess I should be grateful that neither are interested in the more offensive trend of going around with their pants halfway down and shorts exposed, which some schools and even municipalities have tried to ban. But I'm far from enamored of the ripped look, and contemplating a ban of my own.
It used to be that people paid extra money to look better. Now you can pay top-dollar to look worse by shopping at The Gap for "distressed," meaning pre-faded or ripped jeans, or shirts wrinkled or tied in knots.
Is it because of the recession that wardrobe dysfunction is catching on? Or is it just a fashion statement from a generation that assumes it will be able to permanently eschew office work and business meetings and work on computers at home wearing whatever they please?
In Jewish tradition, ripped clothing is a sign of mourning. We read in Megilat Esther that Mordechai, fearing for the fate of his people, rended his garments, rubbed ashes on himself and sat outside the king's palace. After a funeral, Jewish survivors tear a garment to begin the shiva process. Some wear a black ribbon, but in stricter practice the torn garment is worn until the end of shiva.
Wearing garments of whole cloth signifies a resumption of normal behavior.
The late Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan once warned about society's acceptance of "defining deviancy down." What will happen to us when ripped, sloppy clothing becomes the new business suit?

I am having problems with viewing themes on a multisite setup, I have narrowed the problem down to defining the 'MULTISITE' constant in wp-config.php, the theme preview works fine up until the point this is activated. - Literally commenting out that line makes it work, but obviously deactivates multisite.
Before you ask, I have disabled all plugins and this is on a fresh install on 3.1.1, this leads me to thing this is potentially a bug in the core?

This Thanksgiving season, allow me to share a thought by starting with a question. Which animal is smarter, the cat or the dog? Spoiler alert: if you keep reading, I will give you the definitive answer now agreed upon by science.
A man was applying to be a New York City policeman. He had passed a wide battery of tests and was in his final phase. A panel quizzed him on different situations he might encounter in the field. He answered well but then came a hard, unexpected question. "You've just been sent to arrest your own mother. What do you do?" The man hesitated, but only for a moment. "I call for back up."
In Washington, D.C., near a trash basket in the metro station, a ragged man played the violin. He wore jeans, a long-sleeved t-shirt, and a Washington Nationals' baseball cap. Near his feet was a hat already filled with some starter money. He played for 45 minutes in hopes of making a few bucks.
More than a thousand people streamed by. Twnety-seven stopped just long enough to drop in $32. Maybe they wanted to encourage him. Maybe they just felt pity.
Mother's Day is only a couple of weeks away. Consider this an early warning to the forgetful man! But this is also a shout out for all the courageous woman willing to be mothers.
Do you have FOMO? It's a terrible way to live. The first things you notice are sweaty palms. Your anxiety grows. Your toes start to tap. It's hard to concentrate. Perhaps you're in class, listening to an important lecture but you can't take the tension any longer. Your hand creeps into your pocket and you grab your cell phone for a little relief. It's been only 15 minutes but you must check your text messages! That's when you know you have it. FOMO: The Fear of Missing Out.
When evil shows how hideous it truly is, when innocents are slaughtered like in the recent event at Sandy Hook Elementary School, our hearts break. We cannot offer enough love and prayers for the families in the valley of the shadow of death. But not all hearts break the same. Some may break with despair. Some may break with hate. Yet some break with hope.
Have you been feeling special lately? Are you among the elite of society?
If not, the easiest way to feel unique is to join a club filled with people unique just like you. This, of course, only works if the number of members remains small enough and, of course, if you can qualify.
Here are some clubs you might consider.
There's the Core Club. There aren't a lot of members since you must have an annual earning that places you in the top 1 per cent of the U.S. This means that for 2011, you had to earn more than $3,000,000.
On the Kenai golf course last Monday I took a moose-again.
The author and preacher G. K. Chesterton once sat in a group of other literary experts who were being interviewed. Someone asked the writers what book they would most want to have with them if stranded on a deserted island. "The complete works of Shakespeare," the first author fired off without hesitation. "I choose the Bible," said another. The great man of God, Chesterton, replied: "I would choose Thomas' Guide to Practical Shipbuilding."
News report: Today the firm of God and (fill in your last name), Restorers Extraordinaire, went to work. It was on a magnificent project destined to become a classic. It was a human being, model 1964, convertible, made originally in the image of God but weathered through the years. The model had clearly spent too many winters in the snow and not enough in the heated garage. Rust showed in various places and there was a loud rattle coming from several areas of the frame. The head lamps were dull and the top was missing a lot of fabric, especially in the front.
