Abraham Lincoln's remarkable emergence from the rural Midwest and his rise to the presidency have been the stuff of romance and legend. But as Douglas L. Wilson shows us in Honor's Voice, Lincoln's transformation was not one long triumphal march, but a process that was more than once seriously derailed. There were times, in his journey from storekeeper and mill operator to lawyer and member of the Illinois state legislature, when Lincoln lost his nerve and self-confidence - on at least two occasions he became so despondent as to appear suicidal - and when his acute emotional vulnerabilities were exposed.
Focusing on the crucial years between 1831 and 1842, Wilson's skillful analysis of the testimonies and writings of Lincoln's contemporaries reveals the individual behind the legends. We see Lincoln as a boy: not the dutiful son studying by firelight, but the stubborn rebel determined to make something of himself. We see him as a young man: not the ascendant statesman, but the canny local politician who was renowned for his talents in wrestling and storytelling (as well as for his extensive store of off-color jokes). Wilson also reconstructs Lincoln's frequently anguished personal life: his religious skepticism, recurrent bouts of depression, and difficult relationships with women - from Ann Rutledge to Mary Owens to Mary Todd.
Meticulously researched and well written, this is a fascinating book that makes us reexamine our ideas about one of the icons of American history.

Read an Excerpt
From Chapter 2
Abraham Lincoln's childhood education, conducted almost entirely by himself, with only a modicum of schooling, is one of the most familiar stories in American history. According to the legend, the young backwoods farm boy educated himself by a determined program of nightly reading after the day's work was done, systematically consuming all the books in the sparsely inhabited neighborhood where he grew up. His determination and youthful quest for enlightenment, the distinctive inner qualities that set him apart, have long been symbolized by the indelible image of the boy reading alone by firelight.
Legends, by their nature, are not so much factual accounts as symbolic embodiments or expressions of what the facts represent. America's attraction to the image of the boy reading alone by firelight is thus the tribute paid to the humble origins and noble attributes of a great national hero, but the Lincoln of history, insofar as can be determined from the testimony of those who knew him, proves in many respects worthy of the legend. Most of his Indiana friends and neighbors who were questioned by William H. Herndon, and William M. Thayer before him, remembered the young Lincoln as an ardent reader. His cousin John Hanks, who lived for a time with the Lincolns, called him "a Constant and voracious reader." His near neighbor and close friend David Turnham told Herndon, "We had but few books at that time and our opportunities were poor," but "what [Lincoln] read he read well and thoroughly Never forgetting what he read." These same witnesses confirmed Lincoln's own testimony that he attended the primitive schools of the period only briefly and intermittently, and they further suggested that he eventually outstripped his teachers. "The Schools we went to taught Spelling reading writing and Ciphering to single rule of 3 no further," reported one of his schoolmates. "Lincoln got ahead of his masters Could do him no further good: he went to school no more."
His stepmother, who came into his life when he was ten years old and to whom he remained devoted, described for Herndon the young man's unusual commitment to his studies: "Abe read all the books he could lay his hands on and when he came across a passage that Struck him he would write it down on boards if he had no paper & keep it there till he did get paper then he would re-write it look at it repeat it He had a copy book a kind of scrap book in which he put down all things and this preserved them." His stepmother's evident pride in Lincoln's educational efforts contrasted with his father's attitude, which was apparently less than approving. Herndon may have asked about a scene in William M. Thayer's The Pioneer Boy and How He Became President (1863), which depicted the young Lincoln resisting his father's command that he quit reading and go back to work. Sarah Bush Lincoln spoke protectively of her husband's behavior, which she tried to put in a positive light, telling Herndon: "As a usual thing Mr Lincoln never made Abe quit reading to do anything if he could avoid it. He would do it himself first. Mr. Lincoln could read a little & could scarcely write his name: hence he wanted, as he himself felt the uses & necessities of Education his boy Abraham to learn & he Encouraged him to do it in all ways he could." But one senses a defensiveness in her description, particularly when she says that her husband never made the boy quit reading "if he could avoid it."
Lincoln's cousin Dennis Hanks, who lived with them, spotlighted the tension between Lincoln and his father in characterizing the boy's reading habits: "He was a Constant and I m[a]y Say Stubborn reader, his father having Sometimes to slash him for neglecting his work by reading." That this was a continuing problem rather than an isolated incident is further suggested by a saying of Thomas Lincoln that Dennis remembered in this connection. "Mr Lincoln Abs father often said [I] had to pull the old sow up to the trough when speaking of Abes reading & how he got to it, then and now he had to pull her away." In other words, he had to force his son to take up reading, but once the boy became a reader, only force could get him stopped.
Sarah Bush Lincoln's testimony laid great stress on her stepson's devotion to reading and study, but she also told things that are at odds with the picture presented by the time-honored legend. "He read diligently studied in the day time didn't after night much went to bed Early got up Early and then read Eat his breakfast go to work in the field with the men." If he didn't read at night, what about the boy reading by firelight? Implicit in this image of nighttime reading is an understanding that daytime had to be given to farm work or other chores, but his stepmother's testimony that he rarely read at night suggests otherwise.
Reading during the day raises the specter of the boy shirking his chores and stealing time from work for reading, something that is confirmed by Thayer's anecdote and by Dennis Hanks's recollection of Lincoln's father "slashing" him for neglecting his work by reading. There was difficulty between Lincoln and his father that, while probably quite important in his development, is hard to get at, for there are many clues but few concrete details.
Thomas Lincoln is reported to have told William G. Greene a few years after Lincoln left home, "I suppose that Abe is still fooling hisself with eddication. I tried to stop it, but he has got that fool idea in his head, and it can't be got out." If Thomas Lincoln was as antagonistic to education as this suggests, we can be sure that the difficulty between them was serious. The symbolic boy reading by firelight has done his part and is at peace with his father; the actual boy was probably something of a rebel.
Not part of the popular image, for obvious reasons, is that Lincoln's studiousness, which he apparently indulged at the expense of his duties, was roundly judged by his contemporaries as an indication of his laziness. A neighbor and former employer, John Romine, told Herndon: "Abe was awful lazy: he worked for me was always reading & thinking used to get mad at him." Dennis Hanks admitted, "Lincoln was lazy a very lazy man He was always reading scribbling writing Ciphering writing Poetry &c. &c." That Lincoln did not like physical labor was apparently never disputed, for even his adoring stepmother admitted it. In this sense, judged by the standards of his contemporaries, he clearly was lazy, where laziness was regarded as something between a character fault and a cardinal sin.
But Sarah Bush Lincoln saw in the situation, at least retrospectively, something that the neighbors and even Dennis Hanks did not: that the young Lincoln, while lazy about farm work, had been industrious in another direction. She told Herndon that "he didn't like physical labor was diligent for Knowledge wished to Know & if pains & Labor would get it he was sure to get it." Her daughter, Lincoln's stepsister, gave the situation another positive spin: "Abe was not Energetic Except in one thing he was active & persistant in learning read Everything he Could." With historical hindsight, we have little trouble rationalizing Lincoln's youthful reading as a form of striving, as it surely was, but we miss an element in the equation if we fail to take into account the construction his father and most others put on his dislike of farm work and his appetite for reading. For them it was avoiding work; for him it was a way of asserting his individuality and his aspirations.
While growing up in Indiana, the young Abraham Lincoln was, by all indications, an inveterate reader or, as Dennis Hanks put it, "a Constant and I m[a]y Say Stubborn reader." The more one looks at the evidence behind the familiar legend, the more meaning Hanks's carefully chosen word "stubborn" seems to have. For Lincoln paid a price for being a habitual reader as a boy in Indiana. Not only was he occasionally "slashed" by his father, but he was judged "lazy" by his friends and neighbors. His persistence in these circumstances was, indeed, an act of youthful stubbornness; it was carried on in defiance of the opinions of family and community. Looking back on these events in the light of what happened subsequently, we can see that Lincoln was a reader in his youthful days in Indiana, in part as a way of escaping farm work, but more important, he was reading because he had decided very early that he didn't want to be a farmer.

Long term accommodation
I am a student looking for some relatively inexpensive accomodation for three months in Fribourg. Any suggestions?
- 1
Did you mean?Try your search again
Is there any place around which you can dance with music of the sixties / oldies?
Greetings . We are family of 5 (3 teen age children and 2 adults), looking to visit Switzerland. Pressed on time, do you think one a half day is sufficient to see the highlights of Bern? We have the following plan in place. 1. How doable is this plan? 2. Anything worthy missing? 3. Do you suggest to take something out? 4.Should we factor in any cost for the below suggestions? PLAN: Most scenic WALKS: a. along the banks of the Aare through the English gardens b. Popular Streets: Spitalgasse, Marktgasse, Kramgasse, Gerechtikkeitsgasse c. Major Square: Theatreplatz, Kornhausplatz, Ogre Fountain , Rathausplatz d. Major Bridge: Kirchenfeldbrucke, Kornhausbrucke, Lorainebrucke e. Most panoramic attraction atop Mount Gurten. f. Most obvious place to start walk: from Bahnhofplatz, down the Spitalgasse, under the prison tower, into the Marketgasse, and then on by way of the clock tower and the Kramgasse. From the end of the street, by the Nydeggbrucke (bridge, which gives a really good view down on to the roofs of the old town) either go over the bridge to the bear pit, or turn back through the Junkerngasse, turn let and come back via Rathausgasse. g. Rosengarten
We arrive at the train station from Basel on August 17th around noon with luggage. I'm thinking the best way to get to Hotel Rotary on Rue Du Cendrier is by taxi. Does anyone know the approximate cost of the taxi trip or have a better idea for transport?
Hi - My wife and myself , we are arriving in Interlaken from Paris .. Train arrives in Interlaken OST . Wondering if it is safe to walk to a near by hotel /stay at midnight ..
If so , any places one could suggest . My travel would be in 2nd weekend of August.
We just need a place to stay overnight and wouldn't want to splurge on any luxury .. Cause we would be packing in the morning , travel around and catch a evening train to lucerne.
In one day , any places one could suggest to see ? I heard the ride to Gimmewald is amazing .
Greetings . We are family of 5 (3 teen age children and 2 adults), looking to visit Switzerland.
I have set aside 4.5 days inclusive of checkin and checkout. Is it more then sufficient or just enough for the following plan?
1. Up and down to the Brienzer Rothorn by steam train (is this a day long trip, and what is the associated cost?)
2. Take cabin ride from Grindelwald to Mannlichen and walk to Kleine Scheideck (is this a day long trip, and what is the associated cost?)
3. Murren-Allmendhubel cableway. Depart from Northwestern edge of Murren. At the destination enjoy the panoramic view of lauterbrunnen.
4. Wengen: Trummelbach Falls.
5. Baregg-stieregg walk: highly recommended. 1 hour walk but set aside 1 day
a. How doable is this plan?
b. Anything worthy missing?
c. Do you suggest to take something out, if it's less attractive or similar to an existing attraction?
d. What costs should we factor in for the above suggestions?
e. For each listed attraction, is it a day long activity or less?
Is renting car for 6-7 days more economical than public transpo, taking into account we are a family of 5, and will start our trip from Zurich airport and go straight to Bern, followed by Interlaken, Lucerne and back in Zurich (to catch the flight out)?
If renting car is advisable, what is a good choice (value for money)?
Hey Everyone, hope all of u are doing well.
I'm planning for an adventurer vacation with my wife this November (Late november 20 maybe), and I was thinking about Visiting Nature places as I went Europe before but it was just culture and buildings but this vacation i'm thinking about:
1- Munich & Bavarian Alps. Any suggestion, any comments, if its interesting or not.
2- Slovenia (Bled Lake-Triglav national park-ljubljana) Any comments, Interesting or not.
3- Venice.
4- Switzerland (Titles-Jungfrau- ??) Need help
I really need help, I want somebody to give me an advice, if I'm thinking wrong if there's more interesting countries in Europe, I wanna some place when I can make actvities like rafting for example.
Hi, Can you help please. I have booked an apartment in Zermatt at end of April for my wifes 60th birthday and our wedding anniversary. We have never been to Switzerland before so some things I'm not sure of.
I've not booked the flights yet but thought we would go to Zurich as apparantely there is a very scenic railway journey from there.
Q1 Is the railway station near the airport? Q2 How often do they run? Q3 What as a couple can we expect to pay for a return ticket? Q4 Does it go direct to Zermatt or do we have to change? Q5 Do we buy this ticket in advance or can we just pay at the station? Q6 Looking at the map our apartment is 500 yards approx from the station in Zermatt. Do we walk from there and if so how will we find our apartment? staying at the Haus Roc.
Sorry about all the questions and sorry if some sound stupid but just a little nervous that something might go wrong.
Many thanks (-:

Looking for a new summer fragrance:
What do you think of:
Spring Flower - Creed
Virgin Island Water - Creed
L'Artisan - Premier Figuier
Frederic Malle - Lys Mediterranean
thanks, I am going to check that out! I may pick that up anyway... ;) You are always so good at suggestions! What do you think of the perfumes I noted above?
it is a perfume for me! :)
I am allowed to choose a new perfume and I want to get something that I wouldn't buy on my own. I am in Canada so a lot of the ones I have wanted to try are unavailable...
I have never smelled this, it is very hard to find in Canada... I am allowed to choose a perfume as a gift and I am thinking of this one. What do you think of it? I usually like fruity florals......
I will let you know for sure. My mom was buying one and my bf wanted to buy one, but I don't want both!
I still like butterfly and I'm 37...
Havana vanilla is not for me, it is very strong on me..
I was concerned that it was more of a summery scent because of the fruit base.
Would you wear premier figuier in the winter? I like this one.
I'm curious to know if you prefer Malle Lipstick Rose or L artisan drole de rose? I often see these compared.
Oh, it's already cool here! I'm a Canadian girl! :)
I have Verte Violette and Ananas Fizz for summer and spring. I am wearing Poivre Piquant on one wrist and Bois farine on the other. I like both but can only afford one! Which one gets your vote?
Does this turn soapy on anyone or is it just my imagination?
L'artisan Drole de Rose and Voleur de Roses
Jo Malone Red Roses
I also like Bois Farine! But I find it turns to peanut butter :(
I have tried Iris Pallida, so pretty and I love the scent. Sadly, something in there gives me a headache.
I cannot stop buying these, I just love this house. I have Verte Violette and Ananas Fizz so far and dozens of samples. I am trying to decide which of these to buy for my next purchase: Ete En Douce,...
I have another discount on my purchases :) I am going to buy two and have acquired several samples to pick from and like them for different reasons.
But I have eliminated Chasse aux Papillons - it...
Which do you prefer and why?
Me again! I was offered another 20% discount from any of the following: Safran, Piment Brulant, Vanilia, Navegar, Tubereuse, Ananas Fizz, and Jour de Fete... which would you buy? I am leaning towards...
Looking for alternatives to Spring Flower and Virgin Island Water...
I smelled it at Holt's this am - the SA had a tiny sample that she wasn't supposed to share... so nice!
I have tons of perfumes, but I tend to reach for:
baby doll, YSL
sugar blossom, Fresh (not as often though)
butterfly, Hanae Mori
honey and nectarine blossom, Jo malone
En Passant, Frederic...
Thanks all, I switched to Verte Violette. :)
I've tried all the tea scents actually. Douce was nice, but did not mix well with my skin, it seemed to sit on top rather than blend in...
just curious... :)
I'm a Libra! nothing is that simple :)
I think I would take Verte Violette in that case.
I'm thinking the same thing. I tested it on my arm and liked it, didn't love it but there was something about it. Besides, it's different than my other perfumes. Although I do have Butterfly and...
I tried Mimosa pour Moi, I think I tried all of them at the workshop. Mimosa was nice, but melon-like on me. I smelles cantaloupe and did not like it.
I don't like spicy or musky scents, so I...
Thank you! I do have some testers. I appreciate your helping me make a decision! I was at an olfactory workshop for L'Artisan and they gave us samples and a 15% discount so I chose Jour de Fete...
Could you please help me choose? I picked up a bottle of Jour de Fete, and am thinking of exchanging it for Verte Violette or Chasse aux Papillons. Which do you like best of the 3? Thanks!

WILL there be more DLC characters?
I am only 11 trials away from the 480, and am frustrated that the remaining ones are incredibly difficult and taking me 2-3 hours to complete 1 trial, is there going to be any more DLC characters? I would happily cough up $10 at this point.
They haven't announced anything, nothing more we can tell ya.
Capcom has said that it's highly unlikely that here will be, claiming that it's hard to do DLC for a game if it isn't planned before release.
Probably not just because they have other fighting games they are already working on. It would be awesome though, rather than just these costumes.
Are the existing DLC characters worth getting??

Maliki announces his agreement to the terms of the Policy Board passed a new
Confirmed the coalition of state law, Wednesday, did not mind the formation of the Supreme Council policies, provided that does not exceed the powers of other constitutional institutions, as well as compatibility with the agreements of Arbil.
The MP said the state law, Khalid al-Asadi's (twilight) that the coalition "does not mind the enactment of Council senior policy and formed according to the consensus," but he also said, "We will not accept any bill that includes constitutional violations, or gives the Council the powers beyond the powers of the constitutional institutions."
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, may count in the earlier Council senior policy unconstitutional and can be dispensed with, adding that the National Alliance in general will not vote for him, while noting at the same time to adhere to the agreements between the political blocs, including those relating to the formation of the Council, but that the leaders of political blocs agreed according to a meeting sponsored by President Jalal Talabani to view the law to parliament for a vote.
The Asadi that "this is an advisory council to fully lead until the purpose for which was set up for it and achieve the desired, otherwise it will enter into a constitutional contradiction can not be with them to work properly."
Board and leaders of the Iraqi List to withdraw confidence from the government, and call early elections if a coalition of state law, tried to block ratification of the strategic policies of the Council by the Council of Representatives.
Noted that the National Council of the policies developed under the initiative of Arbil and entrusted his presidency to the leader of the Iraqi List, Iyad Allawi, but that did not come out of the political blocs organized by the bill as a result of lack of agreement on the mechanism of action, thus generating significant intersections between the Iraqi List and the rule of law.
He pointed out that al-Asadi "on the whole parliament to travel to put things in perspective constitutional and not to be drawn behind the wishes of the person or the like."
Referred to the work of the Supreme Council for the strategic policies of the Supreme supposed to be supportive of the government in drawing up the Iraq policy in the areas of high economic, security and political, social and foreign relations.

Alternate Alley Oop Chapter 15 "House of the Worm"(60) 10/1/12
Panel One
The Baroness has been watching this quietly but she was smiling in a less cold way at the happy ending of the most recent contretemps. "Welcome back dear friends to the land of the living!"
Panel Two
Unknown to them for some time now one or more of Dr. Dark's "insect" robots have been watching, listening and beaming it back to the evil genius all this time. He is hardly through with them, especially Alley Oop. They may not be part of that task force that is still has a global search for him on going to find and stop the super unknown that is Dr. Dark. However he is safely ensconced in the Vampire nation known as Belo-Rada now, the one he helped to create. So he can operate unmolested and untouched by the might of the American external empire. His nanocamera camouflage works so well no one has yet detected them in such close proximity. He did find a way to override the power drain that exists at that house. He has encountered such class five or greater ectoplasmic entities like that before in his long life and he knows their characteristics well. (He also knows how to handle them too.)
Panel Three
Dr. Tucker explained that what they saw was a distorted memory of his ancestor Rupert Drake, of one of the dimensions he had visited back in the 1840's. A truly beautiful world they must visit sometime if he can just rediscover the portal to that "Xom" dimension.
Panel Four
"I wonder how you would like traveling through my memories?" Alley asked them. They certainly thought about it since the cave man is so well traveled and in incredible shape for a being over 80 years old.
"I'd like to," said Dr. Tucker," but right now we have other things to deal with." They all affirmed, even the ice cool Baroness, just as the house seemed to sigh and creak in affirmation to them.
If Alley Oop makes this audacious shot it would be in true spirit of the character. Amongst all the staleness this would be fresh.
Anything is possible in the comic world!
Change in protocol. Nothing new on sunday, and new content on monday.
It has to go through, else it would not be the "birth of the Alley Oop shot". Oh…. my mistake i have applied logic to our dyslexic comic creators the Benders.
I do like were the story is headed today….
This is the second Monday in a row to provide new material in line with the story.
I'll say!
This could be better than I expected!
Whoah Ho Ho! Getting good. May Jack and Carole keep this up.
Okay, this is quite an improvement. New material on a Monday, well drawn artwork, nice color, better detail, facial expression, each makes this a good strip, even though he is on the wrong side of the ring, he is hitting left handed, he expects that flag to actually bear his weight, and we only get one panel. But still, quite an improvement over the stuff we've been getting, especially for a Monday.
Wow! Impressive Benders!
"Why are you EXPECTING realism??"
We're reading a comic strip about a time-traveling caveman who rides a dinosaur.
We're not expecting realism, but we'd like consistency.
Honestly, I do not understand some negative comments about the current storyline. Its 'a good story, with some good elements and humor.

Mid 17th century: from Greek ostrakizein, from ostrakon 'shell or potsherd' (on which names were written, in voting to banish unpopular citizens).
In ancient Athens the people of the city would gather together every year to vote on whether an unpopular citizen should be expelled for ten years. They wrote the name of the person they wanted to send into exile on an ostrakon, a shell or fragment of pottery, and somebody who was exiled in this way was said to have been ostracized.

Re: Sexual Education Changes - Schools Teaching 6-Year-Olds About Sex? -
May 4th 2010, 12:55 PM
I think they should learn about some of that stuff BEFORE they hit puberty personally. Puberty should be taught at 8 or 9 so that those girls that go through it AT 9 aren't in for a major shocker.
I'd agree with maybe 2nd grade learning body parts, but in no way graphically. I agree that it's only obscene and graphic because we make it so. I have friends that grew up in places where nudity was a common thing. Think about it, in America at least, sex and homosexuality is so taboo and we have 5 and 6 year olds knowing about violence, killing, and even participating in video games that are way too graphic. And in other countries, violence and all that stuff is taboo while sex is considered a natural thing.
"'Colie, you should never be surprised when people treat you with respect. You should expect it.'
I shook my head. 'You don't know--' I began. But, as usual, she didn't let me finish.
'Yes,' she said simply, 'I do know. I've watched you, Colie.
You walk around like a dog waiting to be kicked. And when someone does, you pout and cry like you didn't deserve it
No one deserves to be kicked
,' I said.
'I disagree,' she said flatly. '
You do if you don't think you're worth any better

Potential HotspotsTerrorismTop Ten Conflicts
In Kashmir, rebels attacked the family of a policeman, killing four civilians. Having lost four wars with India, Pakistan shifted to irregular warfare over 20 years ago. Pakistan never admitted this, but the evidence has built up over the years. ISI (Interservice Intelligence, sort of a military CIA) organized and supervised this effort. The US got to know ISI during the Russian occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s. ISI organized the Afghan irregular fighters in northwest Pakistan and got along just fine with the CIA. But ISI already had networks of agents in India, where they inspired and supported several separatist groups (India contains dozens of ethnic groups that would rather not be part of India.) Except for radical Sikhs, and a few other lesser efforts, none of this came to much. The exception was Kashmir, where the local Moslems were eager, but vastly outnumbered by police and soldiers. So ISI took to training non-Kashmiris in camps in Pakistan Kashmir for irregular warfare and terrorism in Indian Kashmir. India considers this over the line (India also has it's agents in Pakistan, but nothing as ambitious as the ISI efforts in Kashmir.) ISI has used Islamic fundamentalism (just as the Islamic militants use ISI) and this is where the al Qaeda connections come in. ISI keeps its head down and denies everything, but cannot hide it's tracks. No Pakistani politician can come down hard on ISI without risking a popular backlash. Or maybe not. But no one has had the nerve to try it yet. The Afghan government has said that most major Taliban and al Qaeda leaders still at large are probably hiding across the border in Pakistan. No one knows for sure, but U.S. Special Forces and CIA personnel continue to work with Pakistani police and soldiers to gather information about who is doing what in the "tribal areas" of northwest Pakistan.

You have some big shoes to fill, and we know you can do it. UT is the state's leading public teaching and research university, and our incoming freshmen class helps us maintain that standard. Along with meeting enrollment guidelines established by our Board of Trustees, we also strive to admit a class that represents the diversity of the state of Tennessee.
Each fall, the size of our freshmen class size helps us maintain a total undergraduate enrollment of approximately 21,000 students. Check our admission requirements to find out what we require from you.
If you took classes or exams in Advanced Placement (AP), the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), International Baccalaureate (IB), or Cambridge International, you may be able to receive credit for course work at UT. Find out more.
When to Apply
Applications for the coming year are available in early August. Check our important dates page for specifics.
Application Process
Apply to UT by becoming a VIP (Vol in Progress), or you can use the Common Application. You can pay the $50 application fee online when you submit your application, or you can pay by money order.
The University of Tennessee
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
320 Student Services Building
Knoxville, TN 37996-0230
If you have completed any high school or college academic work outside the United States, you must submit your official transcripts to an evaluation agency that's a member of the NACES (National Association of Credential Evaluation Services). Freshman applicants must have a general evaluation with GPA calculation. Transfer applicants must have a detailed or course-by-course evaluation including a calculated college GPA for all college work completed in a country other than the US. UT will only be able to process an application after receiving the necessary report from the evaluation company.
Companies offering these evaluation services include:
UT will also accept records of your ACT and SAT exams that appear on your official high school transcripts. We do not use the scores for the writing portion of the ACT/SAT. For summer and fall applicants, test scores must be received by the admissions office by December 31. They must include UT's ACT or College Board code.
Admission Decisions
After you apply, check your application status online through your VIP account. Your VIP account will also list any documents such as official transcript or test scores that UT hasn't received yet. Keep in mind that transcripts and other documents might take a while to show into the system.
Applicants for fall who meet the December 1 application deadline will receive an initial admission decision by the end of March.
Confirming Enrollment
For the fall, first time entering freshmen must complete requirements including activating your e-mail, confirming your enrollment, and paying your non-refundable $250 enrollment deposit fee by May 1. The deposit is applied to your first semester fees. You must pay the deposit by the indicated deadline before you can get a campus housing contract or register for student orientation.
Attending Student Orientation
Freshmen and transfer students are required to participate in our student orientation program. It includes academic advising and registration for classes.
International students participate in orientation sessions conducted by the Center for International Education.
Applying for Campus Housing
Visit the University Housing website for information on residence halls. Selection is prioritized based on the date you confirm your attendance and pay your enrollment deposit fee.
Applying for Scholarships and Financial Aid
One Stop Express Student Services can help guide you on how to apply for financial aid including grants, scholarships, work study, and loans. Your completed application for admission must be received before UT can offer any scholarships.
You must submit your application for admission by the November 1 deadline to be eligible to apply for competitive scholarships or the Chancellor's Honor Program. Once admitted, students must also complete a separate merit scholarship and/or honors applications. Admitted students will receive a link to the scholarship application via email. Students who apply for admission by December 1 will be considered for institutional scholarships, including the Volunteer Scholarship.
Applying for Honors Programs
Incoming freshmen and transfer students should consult Honors and Scholars Programs for admissions information. Returning students should consult college and department websites for the honors admissions and retention policies and procedures. If you are interested in the Baker Scholars program, you can apply during your freshman year or later.

"How does this furshluggener thing work, anyhow??"
Note the non-optimal fore-aft trim
First Use of New Steering Oar
Revised Trailer-To-Beach Transport Config
Revised Trailer-Beach Transport Config
Main hull rides upside-down on right side of trailer. Looking for advice on building a box to go on the left side of the trailer and hold all the additional crapola. Longest item is a 16' 4" mast, so I guess the box SB about 16'6" long. But where to go from there?
Loading On To Trailer: Step 1
Loading On To Trailer: Step 2
Loading On To Trailer: Step 3
Loading On To Trailer: Step 4
Loading On To Trailer: Step 5
This seems tb the least inconvenient config within the confines of a narrow trailer.
The main hull is upside-down so the gunwales rest on the cross arms (no cradles needed) and it can be stored outdoors without accumulating rain in the hull.
Being able to leave the beach wheels attached is a nice-to-have, but not a deal breaker.
Upside-down has the advantages of not needing special hull cradles and not collecting rain when stored outside.
Right-side-up would be a last resort.
Fully-rigged. The brass ring would be tb able to trailer it like this, only upside down - flipped on to the trailer like a Tornado. Canting to a little less than 45 degrees, it would only be about 6' wide.
Ulua Listing To Port
Clamp-On Leeboard - Not mine, but one I'm attracted to.
I managed to break this one all by myself. No beam sea, not even sailing. Just my own clumsiness/stupidity while experimenting with lashing patterns.
These "stiffening" beams, added in an attempt to reduce twist in the hull, will be the second candidates for removal in a forthcoming weight reduction program.
The first candidate will be the massive mast support system that is hidden by the forward aka.
Hull is 17.5" +- 1/4" wide at both waes.
Bow aka has windsurfer base hole aligned with centerline of hull.
Stern aka is fitted so that it's length to port is the same (92.5" from outside of starboard gunwale) as bow aka.
But, as the photo shows, the stern aka does not have sufficient ovehang on starboard side.
Question: Am I missing something? First thing that comes to mind is my assumption that fore/aft aka lenghts must be the same.
These are the pieces that the builder trimmed from the two akas.
Observe the length diff.
Also, the longer one has two raw ends instead of the expected one raw end.

Current iako-ama lashing method.
I'm trying to figure out how to secure that pulley at the bow. One way would tb stay with the sort of dog's muzzle setup shown. Another way would be to drill a hole in each manu board, run a line through and knot each outside end as is apparently being done in http://johnrollit.com/pmwiki/uploads/Ulua/Ulua18.jpg

Paddling-optimized Ulua built by Ulua's designer Gary Dierking
The idea is to replace the muy pesoso wooden stubby on the left with a section of windsurfer mast as on the right.
To spoof the base of the wooden stubby, we concocted a windsurfer mast base cup bolted to the interface cut from a cutting board.
I breadboarded it with Home Depots finest (NOT!) plywood, which was getting noticibly soft to the touch after seven months of service
On top of the mast cup we put a base extension.

A southern right whale and her calf cruise in Otago Harbour
at Harington Point yesterday.
Having the whales swim past his Harington Point boat house
made for a special afternoon for Dunedin man Trev Faris.
''It was awesome. We were so excited we jumped on the
Monarch, just down the road, for a closer look,'' Mr
Faris said of the whale and her calf.
''They're beautiful. So huge.''
Department of Conservation marine ranger Jim Fyfe said
sightings of the whales at Taiaroa Head were reported to Doc
about 11am yesterday.
Marine science researchers doing surveys on Shelly Beach
photographed the whales for the species' identification
Right whales were often seen along Otago's coast during
winter but sightings were later than normal around the
country this year.
Southern right whales were seen heading south off St Clair on
Monday but until photographs were compared it would not be
known if they were the same as those in the harbour.
It appeared whales were making more visits to Otago Harbour
in recent years and they averaged about half a day in the
area, Mr Fyfe said.
Footnote: The Collins Dictionary defines a
fluke as either of the two lobes of the tail of a whale or
related animal.

Background: Rupatadine (Rupafin®), a novel antihistamine approved recently in Europe for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic idiopathic urticaria in patients aged ≥12 years, has been shown to be highly efficacious, and as safe and well tolerated as other commonly employed antihistamines in the treatment of allergic disease. There are, however, few data on the long-term safety of these antihistamines derived in accordance with the clinical safety recommendations of the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA) and the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use Guideline.
Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of treatment with rupatadine 10 mg/day for 12 months in subjects with persistent AR (PER).
Methods: A multicentre, open-label, phase IV study in patients recruited from 33 centres in Spain, from September 2002 to November 2005. The study enrolled 324 male and female patients (aged 12–70 years) with a medical history of PER for at least 12 months and a documented positive skin-prick test to an appropriate allergen. On 4 of the 7 days prior to start of treatment, the patients were required to have a minimum total nasal symptom score (TNSS [for sneezing, rhinorrhoea, nasal obstruction/congestion and nasal itching]) of ≥5. Of the 324 eligible patients starting treatment, 120 needed to be treated for more than 6 months and were followed up until the end of 12 months. All patients received rupatadine 10 mg/day and were allowed to continue their normal concomitant medication for all conditions, other than rhinitis, for up to 6 or 12 months. Safety was assessed by means of adverse events (AEs) reported by patients or detected by investigators, scheduled centralized ECG with special attention to Bazzet corrected QT interval (QTcB) and standard laboratory investigations.
Results: Assessment of treatment compliance rates indicated 90% and 83% of patients to be compliant during the 1–6 months and 1–12 months treatment periods, respectively, with compliance rates >80% being associated with the majority of the study population reporting at least one AE. Overall, 74.1% and 65.8% of the patients reported at least one AE during the 1–6 months and 1–12 months treatment periods, respectively, compared with 20.4% and 10.8% of patients reporting at least one treatment-related AE during these periods. Disorders of the nervous system and respiratory thoracic and media-stinal system, in particular headache, somnolence and catarrh, were the three most common AEs reported by >5% of the patients during both treatment periods. Detailed ECG assessments demonstrated no clinically relevant abnormal ECG findings, nor any QTcB increases >60 msec or QTcB values >470 msec for any patient at any time during treatment. Serious AEs were reported in seven patients, of whom six were considered as unlikely to be related to rupatadine treatment, whereas one involving increased blood enzyme levels was considered as possibly related to rupatadine treatment.
Conclusion: This study confirmed the good long-term safety and tolerability of rupatadine at the therapeutic dose of 10 mg/day in patients with PER.

I save the machine state and then restarted the VirtualBox on windows machine. My guest OS in LUnuntu and my host in Windows 7. I saved the state of my VM yesterday and when I started the VM today it showed me he welcome message saying:
The left part of this window is a list of all virtual machines on your computer. The list is empty now because you haven't created any virtual machines yet.
I can't understand why a virtual machine got deleted? It might be that saving the state of VM corrupted the VM. Even if its corrupted, shouldn't it just reboot normally without restoring the state?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

The iOS Music Meet will be held on Thursday July 12 in Berlin, and thanks to PreSonus European Product Marketing Manager and Digital Media Swashbuckler Rodney Orpheus, PreSonus will be there as well! The iOS Music Meet will celebrate all things which lay at the convergence of the Apple iOS platform and, well, music. It will feature hands-on learning opportunities, musical performances, workflow production seminars, and the rubbing of elbows between artists, app developers, and hardware manufacturers. So, if you're into mobile guitar amp emulation, touch-screen MIDI controllers, the color white, and brushed aluminum, have I got an event for you.
It's nice that I can always count on Rodney to keep me informed of the latest and greatest. It's like the guy has a prototype 12 GHz bluetooth receiver implanted in his cereberal cortex that receives a constant feed of stuff that's #NowAndRadical. Fortunately for me—and subsequently, you—Rodney likes to share.
So, Rodney, what's iOS Music Meet all about, and what's it got to do with PreSonus?
"It's the first time it will happen, and we think it's an awesome idea. A real live show based around iOS is perfect for us to be part of, since there are tens of thousands of PreSonus StudioLive mixers in venues today, all of which are capable of being controlled by iOS devices such as iPads and iPhones. A show like this gives people the chance to show that this stuff isn't just theoretical pie-in-the-sky, it's already a fully working and road-tested mature product that we've been shipping for the past year. Also, with the new Smaart integration, we can set up the PA and have it sounding perfect using iPad control—faster and easier than anyone could have thought possible."
Interested in partaking? Details follow. Registration is free, but of course there's a hoop or two to jump through.
The Nits and Grits:
Nashville, TN, July, 2012… Once again, PreSonus is bringing the hubbub and buzz of the music industry's most exclusive and exciting trade-only convention direct to your screen.
PreSonus will be webcasting live from the Summer NAMM convention in beautiful downtown Nashville, Tennessee. On Friday, July 13, 2012, we'll be providing continuous, live, anything-goes coverage of all the events at our booth, including hot gear, cool presentations, surprise interviews with famous, infamous and near-famous artists, and other excitement.
What's more, our ever-so-slightly eccentric roving camera crew will be wandering the show floor, accosting guests, seeking out the coolest, strangest, and just plain bizarre musical instruments and other fun stuff, and doing our very best to scam free gear, free food, and maybe the odd bear hug from anywhere we can find it.
As a special added bonus, we'll be giving away a free copy of Studio One Professional 2 DAW software (a $399 value) once every hour to a lucky online viewer.
So join us online at www.presonus.com/videos/presonuslive to catch all the action as it happens, to view it later, or to schedule an e-mail reminder.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, July 2012... PreSonus has completely redesigned its Web site, offering greatly improved navigation, deeper product information, and easy access to press releases, user stories, technical information, videos, tech support, user accounts, and much more.
Notes PreSonus Associate Creative Director Cave Daughdrill, "Truth is, a lot of us hated the old site. Working on it was worse than being stuck in traffic during the flaming-hot Louisiana summer. And it was starting to look old and dense-like the Gulf after BP got through with it. We've always made the kind of gear we want to use ourselves, so we decided it was time to do that with our site. Now, it's fast and easy to find things, and the site is much more visual. The video display is huge, and you can even search and filter for results while playing the video. And the site works great with mobile devices. We think people are really gonna dig it."
"From a back-end standpoint, the old PreSonus site was the organizational equivalent of a dozen meth'ed-up gerbils playing soccer with a marble inside a grandfather clock," says PreSonus Web Engineer Luciano Ziegler. "Our new site is so smooth that it may actually revolutionize String Theory."

United States, June, 2012… Summer camp is a ritual for kids and teens all across the U.S., and LifeWay Christian Resources is a familiar name for many of them. LifeWay hosts a wide range of multi-day summer camps at colleges and retreat centers throughout the nation, from recreation and Bible study for younger kids to workshops and mission-based camps for teens and young adults. As Josh Webb, LifeWay's resident engineer and tech guru, explains, live music is a big part of the experience.
"There's a lot of activities during the day, from team building to community service," says Webb. "Then, in the evenings, there's music. It's usually a four- to six-piece band: full drum kit, bass, guitars, keyboards, and of course, vocals."
For Webb, who coordinates sound and lighting for most of the camps, that means an ongoing routine that keeps him busy through the summer. "We'll typically rent a facility for a few weeks during the summer, set up audio, lighting, and all that stuff; then we'll load up the truck and move to another location," he says.
Needless to say, it's a big job keeping track of so many locations and crews, and LifeWay recently streamlined the process with the purchase of more than 30 StudioLive™ 24.4.2 digital consoles.
"Previously we had a whole bunch of different analog consoles," says Webb. "We'd truck in our analog consoles, racks of gear, and cabling, and put it all together. Replacing them all with StudioLive consoles has been great on so many levels."
The StudioLive's fully integrated effects have really changed the equation, Webb reports.
"The PreSonus console is pretty much the heart of the audio system for us. We've literally got three or four warehouse palettes of compressors, limiters, and other outboard gear that we just don't need anymore because everything's built into the desk. It's really lightened the load for the travel teams and has made setup and teardown a breeze."
The StudioLive's ease of use is another major asset. "It's basically set up like an analog console, even though everything's digital under the hood," says Webb. "So the learning curve is almost nonexistent. They don't have to run through pages and pages of menus – everything is accessible via the Fat Channel."
Webb says they've only just begun to tap into the potential of the StudioLive's capabilities. "We've got MacBooks® or iMacs® with every console, so we can do live recording via Capture™," he says. "We're using some of the tracks for a virtual sound check, especially in places where we've got multiple performances in the same place. It's great for training people as well: We can have our newer engineers play back a multitrack recording and experiment with different dynamics and effects without the pressure and risk of doing it during a live show."
"Eventually we'll be implementing iPad® control and QMix™ for the monitor mix," he adds. "This first year, we're just starting with iPad control for a few teams, just to get our feet wet. Basically, we're telling our more tech-savvy people that if they already have an iPad, they can go ahead and check out the remote-mixing capability. The information will trickle down to the rest of the teams throughout the summer."
With so many different crews to coordinate, having everyone on the same console is more than just a convenience, he adds. "It's a great thing for me, in particular, since I'm the guy who has to troubleshoot the setups. The consistency of knowing that every setup is now using a StudioLive console makes my life that much easier." Webb is presently putting together a knowledgebase, to enable the entire team of engineers to share notes and get the most out of the StudioLive.
"In the past, we've been relatively old school as far as the audio is concerned," Webb concludes. "But we've always tried to push ourselves forward and find ways to do things better, faster, and more efficiently. And the StudioLive consoles have been a huge step forward."
Out of the industrial-strength kindness of Ivan "Vigilante" Muñoz' heart comes the below unsolicited slice of Studio One praise. While I never get tired of reading e-mails from folks who like our products, I have to confess that this image Ivan submitted is kind of a nice change of pace. Take a look:
Worth noting is that, to the best of my knowledge, no one's ever sent Ivan one of our style guides, and I'm not sure where he got such nice, clean copies of our logos… but look at this thing, it's like Ivan went to PreSonus design college. It's grungy, high-contrast, features prominent product placement… Dude kinda nailed it.
HEY BANDS: Are you looking to get endorsement relationships with the brands you love? Maybe you already have one? Take note—taking the initiative to produce stuff like what Ivan's done above is a great way to keep those relationships strong.
Just sayin', it's not all free mixers and lollipops. Thanks, Ivan!
Drum Workshop is no joke. They make some of the most sought-after kits around with good reason: Quality construction begets quality tone.
So when the time comes to demo your high-quality drum kits, better be sure that you are dressed in the sonic equivalent of your Sunday best—spare no expense, like Dr. John Hammond said. So what do you do? Well, you get a roomfull of first-call session cats, (Jaz Sawyer, Mika Fineo, Cobus Potgieter, Jordan Nuanez, and Jamal Moore ) and then you get a StudioLive 16.4.2 and a videocamera.
We're flattered and thankful that DW chose none other than the PreSonus StudioLive 16.4.2 to render their drum sounds to disc for this video demoing the PDP Concept Series. Oh, and as long as everything was all miked up, they handled the voiceovers via the StudioLive as well.
The proof is in the pudding, howevs, so give a look/listen.
We are lucky to have Home Studio Corner in our… circle of advocates. Joe's "cute little" FaderPort is connected to a 10-foot USB cable, which allows him to track his tracks while seated near his mic, and have immediate access to his transport controls when not next to his computer.
This allows him to record—and botch takes, which of course never happens—without having to set the guitar down, move the mic, get up, go to the computer, start the track over, go to the couch, sit down, grab the guitar, re-set up the mic, and play again every time he makes a mistake. Which he never does.
A very cool, if admittedly lonely solution for the solo recordist. Reminds me a little bit of this:
Part V: Video!
I'd like to talk a little bit about writing music for video in Studio One. I had to do a multimedia project at my university as an exam, so I made a short trailer-type video by using trailer from Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed" video game, and I decided to score my own music for it using my orchestral template.
The process is pretty simple actually. All you need to do is import a video file in Studio One Video Player and it will automatically play whenever you click Play on the transport controls. (Studio One doesn't have video tracks, by the way.) If you want to add marker positions for your video, you have to scroll through the video and place markers on the marker track when the appropriate scene shows in your video. I like to keep my transport bar count set to bars instead of frames, because when I am writing music for video I need to sync my music to it and still follow the proper musical beat.
I always take a look at the video cue a couple of times and think about what kind of music I am going to write for it. Then I start placing markers and name them to describe the scene that the video player is about to show.
Placing markers is pretty much the same as in other DAWs. Find the place where you need to put marker, and click the "+" button on the left of the marker track, and you will see the marker tagged with a number on the marker track.You can rename the marker by double-clicking on it and typing in a name in the pop-up window.
Sometimes the time signature doesn't fit the video, and you want the important scenes to change in a musically relevant manner, by following the time signature. Place a marker on that scene and right click above it and choose "set time signature." The pop-up window will show and you can input your desired time signature. This is useful when syncing music to change right with the scene. For example: if your time signature is set to 4/4 and the scene is not changing exactly on the metronome's beat, you will need to add or remove a couple of beats to perfect the timing. Here's how the finished marker track looks after adding markers and time signature changes to the video:
Once you've done that, you are ready for some serious professional scoring.
I had a lot of fun with this project, and I am definitely seeing myself using PreSonus Studio One as my main DAW of choice from now on. Need I say that I've un-installed my other DAW I was using all these years? The guys from PreSonus are doing a great job with this and with some patches and new versions, StudioOne has a bright future in becoming the industry's top DAW out there.
And feel free to visit my Youtube Channel. You can also listen to some of my tracks at Reverbnation and visit me on IMDb.
[Update! For your convenience, here's the rest of the blogs in this series:
Hi guys!
Here's a couple of StudioLive 24.4.2 " in the wild" pictures I thought you might like to see. Red 13 PA (named after a Journey EP) is based here in the UK. This pic is of our rig at a festival for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee last weekend. At the end of the night we had around 1000 people going nuts in the marquee!
Last autumn, PreSonus released V2 updates of our popular TubePre and BlueTube DP microphone/instrument preamps. With preamps so beloved, our intention wasn't to completely re-create either of these products, but rather to refresh them and bring them more in-line with our current offerings.
By now, most of our loyal customers are very familiar with our popular XMAX preamp design. This circuit is employed on nearly every current interface product and, of course, our award-winning StudioLive-series of digital mixers. A little known fact is that both the TubePre and BlueTube DP preamps use early versions of what would eventually become the XMAX microphone preamp. Over time, this circuit has been tweaked and perfected into the XMAX mic pre our customers know and love. The biggest change to both V2 models was to update their preamp circuits to the current XMAX design.
Because of the updated preamp design, both V2 models feature new extended Gain Ranges: -15dB to 85dB (Mic) / -30dB to 50dB (Inst) as compared to 0dB to 60dB on the older models. Another consequence of changing to the current XMAX preamp design is increased headroom.
The original TubePre featured a -20dB pad; however the XMAX design we use today offers so much headroom that attenuation pads are simply not necessary. With the TubePre V2, the pad was removed and an input select switch was added. This allows the user to leave both their microphone and instrument connected at the same time, making it an even more convenient tool for home recording enthusiast and professionals alike.
It should be mentioned that the version of the circuit in the BlueTube DP is closer to the current XMAX design in this regard. This is why the BlueTube DP had no attenuation pad to remove.
Other changes in the V2 models are as follows:
We hope you all enjoy employing these products as much as we enjoyed engineering them! Please feel welcome and encouraged to share your recordings featuring these products on our Facebook wall.

This paper aims to demonstrate that high-intensity electric fields can be employed for the separation of artificial magnetite processed from an iron mineral containing siderite FeCO3 and ankerite (FeCaMg)CO3. All the tests were carried out on a roll-type laboratory separator (roll diameter: 250 mm; roll speed: 175 r/min), provided with an over-tray heater, to ensure the thermal conditioning of the samples at +120°C, and a system of high-voltage electrodes, consisting of a needle-type corona electrode and either a second corona electrode or a tubular (electrostatic) electrode. The samples were collected from the technological process presently employed for the beneficiation of the iron ore deposit at Teliuc, Romania. The grain size was typically in the 0.09-0.315-mm range. Separation in high-intensity electric field ensured the increase of the Fe content in the samples from about 35% to 55%, for an iron recovery of up to 80%. This paper discusses these results in relation to the mineralogical characteristics of the samples and concludes that electrostatic separation could be employed either as an additional operation in an existing technological process, or as an alternative to the currently employed magnetic separation. Pilot-plant tests are needed prior to industry application

Mats IYF 44 Build
Going with the IYF as I want something thats aerobatic, and can slow down for some good close in flying at the park.
Plus its my first wing so need a nice slow one to learn with
No fixed power plant/battery combo, she will have big bays to move stuff around as it will have several diferent setups as I use this as a bit of a KIWIRC demo/try things out wing.
Tonite have cut the spar slots, trimmed The main spar to size and attacked the motor mount with a dremel. I cut a slot on the end of the square tube so that it slots over the main spar. There is no way this puppy will move out of alignment.
Sorry the photos are a bit blurry
Thanks guys, will update here as things progress
Yea Paul, sort of, used the dremel and slotted it, so I could glue the wing and spar, then filled the hole with PU and slid the mount in. Seems to be locked in real nice :-)
adams builds are nice & when he is building chrisses wings ..... its a combo that cant be beat for sure
I want to do a big high wattage twinn at some point
I have a couple of 36mm outrunners here with about a 2000KV which should do well
you all have a great week
Hey, yep locking the mount into the carbon works a treat, I have 13 flights on the IYF44 lite build so far, 1/2 of them with the Microdan 2535 Custom wind.
next time to lock it even more, may drill a 6mm hole nearer the motor end of the mount, and put a 75mm (3 inch) long spar in , so theres two solid mounting points
I see I never finished this thread off
Heres a completed photo, color scheme has changed (weak eyes) and it is currently Fluro Orange and white on top, and fluro green and white on bottom.
Battery capacity is between 2250 mah to 2350 mah 3S ( I run a combo of batts, two batts side by side in the bay) some combinations put my CG on the recomended point, some combos move it back 10mm. with it back it wags its tail a bit in a cross wing, but requires about 2mm less reflex, so is faster.
Three motor combos I use on this. Emax 2805 1600kv, it flies but not enuff punch. Emax 2812 1535 kv with APC 7 by 5 prop - flies nice, long flight time, Microdan "Custom" 2535 kv on a 6 by 4 e prop - my prefered motor, as is lighter than the emax, and can be throttled back for "In Yo Face" flying, or throttled up for a bit of speed :-) but you cant beat the Emax for value for money.
Will try and get some vid :-) tks for the complement.
The MD motor makes this thing move, maybe a bit to fast , but hey another flight on it today, that 14 so far. still at a cross roads as to my next wing (TL50 powered, TL50Slice powered, ltg36.......)
Right, with about 18 flights on her now (11 in the last week !) and with the elevon hinges and wing tips needing attention, I decided to do a small mod......
I hope it works.
Jacko very kindly donated a set of tips from his Dlite40 (he has balsa ones for it) so I cut and sliced these in. I also used some offcuts from the main spars on the wing tips to protect the elevons.
Note the color scheme, its the only way my tired eyes can see it, the underside is Fluro Green !
Motor is swapped back to the emax 2812 on a 7 by 5 apc pro (then back to the MD, damn speed calling me)
Ok, back from field - flight test - no better/no worse - the looks I like
sweet as !
Now have 9 flights on her in this config.
With the outboard wing tips, after 4 flights the EPP would rip where the winglets were hotglued
Set up like this, no more probs, and the motor/prop is nicely tucked awy
Just wish I had RITEWEAVED this one, as I learnt to fly wings, she has taken some abuse, and looks tatty.

Today's security systems have been drawing great attentions as cryptographic algorithms have gained popularity due to the nature that make them suitable for use in constrained environment such as mobile sensor information applications, where computing resources and power availability are limited. Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is one of them, which requires less computational power, communication bandwidth, and memory in comparison with other cryptosystem. In particularly, in order to save pre-computing there is a trend for sensor networks to design a sensor-group-leader rather than every sensor node communicates to the end database, which indicated the needs to prevent from the man-in-the middle attacking. In this paper we first present an algorithm that we called "hidden generation point" ECC protocol to protecting the ECC key exchange system from the man-in-middle attacking in wireless sensor networks. Even though there are other ways to be investigated, which will published in other paper, the major contribution in this paper is showing the hidden generation point" works. Also it is noted that the agent technology provides a method for handling increasing software complexity and supporting rapid and accurate decision making. A multi-agent applying for key exchange is motioned even the further discussed will be presented in another paper as the major task of this paper is presenting "hidden generation point".

This looks a great walk, the woodland is just coming to life.
Hi Kenny,
No paths shown on the OS map, so it was a surprise to see many well worn. And a nice bit of woodland!
All the best Peter
Thank You, Peter for visiting my gallery and information about the buzzrads! In the 70´s I did have every summer one or two birds to breed and as a pet. They were very loyal good friends for a kid. Nice blue flowerishing ground and fresh green forest - beautiful capture! LIKE! Happy summer with sunny days, Joni
Hi Peter I now see that I should pay a further visit to the Dudley area , I will be spoilt for choice trees and village churches also the canal.Nice view with the bluebells, a fine scene for the painter. Regards Bob

I read Eugene Robinson's column, "It's not racism resurgence; it never went away." If Donald Sterling wants to be a redneck, that's his business. But don't go spewing offensive, racist comments.
I take my hat off to Adam Silver for banning Sterling from the NBA for life.
Sterling is ignorant and a hate-filled bigot. He's a George Wallace-type. As Eugene Robinson said, "Racism isn't back, it never went away."

Cancer Health Center
Treating Bone Metastasis
In this article
Bisphosphonates continued...
Possible side effects. The most common ones include:
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Nausea or vomiting
- Anemia
- Bone or joint pain
A rare and serious side effect is bone death (osteonecrosis) of the jaw. Ask your doctor about precautions to take before beginning this treatment. Osteonecrosis may cause:
- Jaw bone pain, swelling, or numbness
- Loss of gum tissue
- Loose teeth
- Infection
Another available treatment is denosumab (Xgeva). It's given by injection and may work as well as or better than bisphosphonates to prevent fractures. But it also can cause osteonecrosis, as well as low calcium levels in the blood.
These drugs contain radioactive elements that target cancer cells. Doctors tend to use this systemic treatment when the metastasis is stimulating new bone growth. This is more common with prostate cancer.
If your cancer has spread to many bones, these drugs may be a better option than standard radiation, which uses a beam to aim radiation at each bone metastasis. However, sometimes doctors combine radiopharmaceuticals and standard radiation.
How it works. The doctor injects a single dose of the drug into a vein. It then travels to the areas of bone with cancer and gives off radiation to kill the cancer. This single dose may be effective against pain for several months. You can receive another treatment later.
Possible side effects. The most common ones include:
- Infections
- Bleeding
- Temporary increase in pain (flare reaction)
This systemic treatment helps your immune system spot and more effectively kill cancer cells. Some methods of immunotherapy have been used for a while, and some are still experimental.
How it works. Immunotherapy works in one of two main ways:
- It boosts your body's immune system to fight the cancer.
- It uses a man-made version of proteins to kill cancer cells.
Examples of immunotherapy for cancer include:
- Cytokines -- substances secreted by the immune system that have an effect on other cells
- Monoclonal antibodies -- a class of antibodies made in the lab from a single population of cells
- Tumor vaccines -- vaccines using a substance that prompts the immune system to respond to a tumor
Possible side effects. Side effects vary, depending upon the type of immunotherapy. They may include:
- Fever and chills
- Weakness
- Headache
- Nausea or diarrhea
- Rashes
