most cost effective and absorbant would be Flat diapers or Prefolds and Covers with a snappi to secure around your Little one. your LO most likely will fit the OneSize diapers now (usually start fitting at 10-12 pounds)
You will want a stash of arund 30-36 changes and 6-8 covers.
Bamboo prefolds/flats are a little more pricey but very absorbant.
Look into Nicki's diaper (online store) covers or DiaperJunction's DiaperRite covers for cheap quality covers.
if you don't mind waiting a bit for them to arrive check out Assuntastore for Assunta tuckable covers. quality covers for cheap but are made and shipped from china so they take a while to get here(2-3 weeks)
use regular mainstream detergent without fabric softner. Most mommas wash every 2-3 days with this size of a stash.

Left tackle Jason Peters and cornerback Bradley Fletcher exited Sunday's 49-20 win over the Oakland Raiders with pectoral injuries.
Coach Chip Kelly said Peters would not practice on Tuesday, but he expects him to return this week. Kelly was vague about Fletcher, saying that he would "see as the week goes along."
The Eagles already are thin at cornerback, with only four on the active roster. The team has one open roster spot, so it could add another cornerback this week.

SAN ANGELO - They might have looked like punts, and the San Angelo Central return team might have acted like they were punts, but they most certainly were not.
Twice Amarillo High's Brett Owens boomed high arching kickoffs into the autumn night, and twice Sandies players got to them before a hesitant Bobcats squad.
Those two plays on special teams, and the resulting points Amarillo High scored off them, were maybe the biggest turning points in a 31-13 Sandies victory over Central on Friday night at San Angelo Stadium.
"They were huge momentum changers," said Amarillo head coach Brad Thiessen of the kicks. "It's not anything new. You kick it as high as you can and it gives your coverage team time to get down there. Usually they catch it."
On this night the Bobcats did not and just as the balls got away from them, so did a district ballgame that could have huge implications in the District 2-5A playoff race.
With the loss Central drops to 3-4 overall and 1-1 in district heading into next week's game at Amarillo Tascosa. The Sandies, meanwhile, improve to 4-2 and 2-0, all put locking up a postseason berth.
They did so thanks to a breakout second quarter that saw them score 24 unanswered points after both teams looked hunkered down for a defensive battle early.
On paper, Friday's game was a clash between the district's two best defenses, and that held true to form during a scoreless first quarter.
Nothing that happened in the game's first 12 minutes, however, could have prepared anyone for what would come in the next 12.
On the first play of the second quarter, Amarillo went for it on fourth-and-two from the Bobcats' nine yard-line.
A Blake Morrison run got just enough to get the first down and one play later Kyler Hill found Tyler Wilkinson with a seven-yard touchdown pass.
That scoring "march'' for Amarillo only had to go 17 yards because the Central fumble had handed the Sandies great field position.
After the Wilkinson touchdown came the not-so-special play of the Bobcats' special teams, specifically the Central kick return unit.
Owens launched the ball high into the night, but even as it sailed 30 yards downfield and was knocked to the turf by the strong headwind, none of the Bobcats went to get it.
Stephen Irvin recovered the ball for the Sandies and even as the Bobcats were still in shock, Jacob Burton ran for a 26-yard touchdown on Amarillo's first play from scrimmage.
The high kickoff had worked so well that Amarillo tried it again, and again the Bobcats hesitated to field the ball.
Amarillo's Steve Clark got the ball this time. The Central defense held, but by then the Sandies were close enough to get a 41-yard field goal by Owens that actually the cross bar but bounced the right way.

Grizzly Bear shows growth, in fan numbers and song repertoire
Standing on the stage of the Pabst Theater Tuesday before a single note was played, Ed Droste from Brooklyn band Grizzly Bear could see how far its fan base had come. When the band first played the Pabst, he said, tickets were available for only the lower level. On Tuesday, both the lower level and the lower balcony were filled, and there were even some folks up at the tippy top.
That's not surprising. After coalescing its lovely sound - most distinguished by angelic voices - around a gorgeous single, 2009's "Two Weeks" from breakthrough album "Veckatimest," Grizzly Bear came roaring back with last year's splendid "Shields," its grandest accomplishment to date and one of 2012's finer albums. »Read Full Article

'Avatar' makes history as the first film to pass $700 million
20th Century Fox had hopes that James Cameron's "Avatar" could be a big success, especially since it reportedly cost anywhere between $300-400 million to produce, but no one associated with the film ever thought it would become the highest grossing film of all time. And yet, even with both the worldwide and U.S. records firmly in its grasp, "Avatar" continues to make history. Saturday, the blockbuster became the first release to hit the $700 million mark domestically when its total reached $702 million.
After an estimated $14 million weekend, "Avatar's" current box office cume now stands $706.9 million. Globally, "Avatar" has reached a staggering $2.481 billion.
Historically, "Avatar" became the second film to join "Titanic" to achieve over $600 million in U.S. ticket sales and $1 billion overseas and worldwide. In the decade plus since "Titanic" only "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and "The Dark Knight" grossed over $1 billion worldwide.
In terms of grosses adjusted for ticket price inflation, "Avatar" still has a long way to go. Currently ranked at No. 15, it's the only film from the 21st Century in the top 20, but trails 1939's "Gone with the Wind" ($1.5 billion adjusted) and even "Titanic" at No. 6 ($976 million adjusted).
Where "Avatar" will end up is unclear. $750 million U.S. is not out of the question, but the Oscar contender will lose a majority of its IMAX and 3-D screens when "Alice in Wonderland" opens on Friday.

Louisiana Doesn't Get Energy Efficiency Incentives, After All
The Louisiana Public Service Commission this week nixed plans for a statewide energy efficiency program.
In December it looked as if the commission would back the idea. But since then, a member of the commission – Jimmy Field – retired and was replaced by new member Scott Angelle who cast the deciding ballot against the program in a 3-2 vote.
Angelle, who took his seat in January, said he's concerned about the program's cost for small businesses because utility companies would be able to charge their customers for energy efficiency initiatives, reported the Associated Press.
Supporters of the program argue that ratepayers ultimately would save from the efficiencies. The initiative would have given electric utilities and natural gas providers about a year to develop incentives for residential and business costumers to make energy efficiency improvements, reported The Times-Picayune.
PSC Chairman Eric Skrmetta, who voted to abandon the energy efficiency plan, said the commission would revisit the idea, hire a different consultant to advise them and hold technical hearings to eventually return with a new approach. However, he didn't provide a timeline for any of this. Skrmetta did tell the Associated Press the consultant who worked on the proposal appeared to have a conflict of interest.
But Casey DeMoss Roberts, executive director of the Alliance for Affordable Energy, said Skrmetta was acting speciously, according to The Advocate. The consultant in question was Atlanta-based J Kennedy and Associates, which the Louisiana PSC regularly uses for expert reports, said Roberts.
Supporters of the energy efficiency program also were angered that Skrmetta refused to allow any additional public comment on the issue, and they pointed out that 46 other states have energy efficiency programs through utilities.

Iraqi Kurdistan oil output capacity at 300,000 barrels a day:
Iraqi Kurdistan oil output capacity at
300,000 barrels a day: Minister
June 20, 2012
ERBIL-Hewlêr, Kurdistan region 'Iraq', —
Iraq's crude oil production capacity from the
Kurdistan region in northern Iraq is 300,000 barrels
a day, Ashti Hawrami, the region's oil minister said
However, Kurdistan isn't producing that amount of
oil because it has suspended exports via Baghdad's
pipeline running to Turkey due to financial issues
with the central government in the capital.
"Output capacity from Kurdistan is expected to
increase to 400,000 barrels a day by the end of next
year," Mr. Hawrami told an Iraqi energy conference
being held by the CWC Group in London.
The minister is expecting production from the
Kurdish region to reach 1 million barrels a day by
the end of 2015 and 2 million barrels a day in 2019.
Proven oil reserves in Kurdistan have gone up from 1
billion barrels five years ago to around 44 billion
barrels now, he added.
He said some 40 to 50 international oil companies
are currently working in Kurdistan under
production-sharing contracts concluded with them
during the last five years.
The Kurdistan Regional Government--known as
KRG--suspended crude oil exports of nearly 100,000
barrels a day in April this year, protesting that
Baghdad was delaying payment of around $1.5 billion
that the region needs to pay to contracting
Kurdistan says only two payments totaling $514
million have been received, with the last payment
made in May 2011. Baghdad said earlier this year
that it is releasing the payment of $560 million but
was awaiting an audit to pay it.
Mr. Hawrami said that the entire audit has been made
and sent to Baghdad but payment hasn't been issued
Tensions between Baghdad and the Kurdish region have
risen since October when U.S. energy giant Exxon
Mobil Corp. (XOM) announced a deal with the KRG to
explore for oil in Kurdistan. Baghdad warned the
U.S. oil giant could risk its agreements with the
central government.
Mr. Hawrami expected three more oil majors to join
the development of the oil and gas sector in
Kurdistan. He didn't name them.
The Iraqi central government last year reached an
agreement with the Kurdish authorities to resume oil
exports from the semi-autonomous region as from
February after a suspension of more than year,www.ekurd.net
and agreed to pay exploration costs and expenses to
foreign firms in the KRG.
The Kurds and the central government, which grants
all oil-export licenses, have been at odds over oil
contracts the Kurds signed with foreign companies.
Baghdad doesn't recognize the contracts.
Also unresolved is the enactment of an Iraqi oil and
gas law and revenue-sharing law as one package,
which Mr. Hawrami said it is needed to ensure
long-term investment in the region. Under the
current arrangement, Baghdad has agreed to
compensate contracting companies in Kurdistan for
the costs of their exports, but not for profits. The
Kurds hope to have a law enacted as soon as
possible, but past efforts have died in Iraq's

Album: Tell The Ones I Love
Going down to the river bank
Half past drunk on wine
Camellia and the cat tails swayin'
All around me
Her lips drip sweet like honeydew
Her voice sings like a silver chime
Love feeling washing all over me
Baby I'm drowning
But to have our hearts together
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
I'd even rope down the morning sun
If you asked me to
Sweet Camellia I'd like to steal you
Away from all the troubles in your life
Through the vines I see you climbing
Camellia what's it gonna take to make you mine
It's a long ride down from Pontiac
Through the mud sleet and the grime
Make that push across the Ottawa River
On down the border line
Gonna feel just like the delta
When you put your little hand in mine
Sit back in that bucket seat baby
And settle in for the ride
We can chase down forgiveness
We can sail across the sea
We can go where they're never gonna find us
Sweet camellia you and me
Give the jury a guilty plea
Ain't no deal that I wouldn't make
just to fill this fantasy

No. THR members would still be at base camp arguing over caliber of the flintlocks--"I said .75 caliber! "No, .69 caliber."

No telewinz,
This is the pic of what we had left to fight with because the majority of gun owners sat on their butts and did not fight for their right to keep and bear arms. It all went down like this:
When they came for the assault rifles, I did not protest because I did not have any.
When they came for the Hi-cap semi-auto pistols, I did not protest because I did not have any.
When they came for the evil bolt action sniper rifles, I did not protest because I did not have any.
When they came for the revolvers, I did not protest because I did not have any.
When they came for the shotguns, I did not protest because I did not have any.
AND FINALLY, when they came for my black powder rifle, I was standing all alone but with a few other black powder owners because they took everybody else away.

Why is the hammer/battery/steel/frizzen open on the musket of the man on the far right? Is he marching into battle with an unloaded musket?
BTW, THR members wouldn't be arguing over caliber inasmuch we would be arguing over rifles v. muskets. Of course, there'll always be a cheater who slips in a minie ball. Loads as fast as a musket, shoots as far if not further than a rifle. ;)

Any time you're competing against another person, there's a part of you that's trying to "get inside" your opponent's head. We're always trying to have an idea of what our opponent is thinking and what moves he is going to try and pull on you. And if you're opponent is a lot bigger or stronger than you are, you sure as heck better be trying to get in his head… if you want to avoid tapping out.
Unfortunately, it's not always possible to gauge what the big guys are planning. Wouldn't it be nice if those bigger practitioners would just come out and tell us what their weaknesses are, how to exploit them and just tell us what we need to do to beat them?
Well, it just so happens that we've sourced some useful advice from a big BJJ practitioner (Evan from Richmond Self Defense), and he's spilling the beans so we know what to do the next time we're going up against a behemoth on the mat.
How To Beat A Larger Opponent In BJJ
Prior to training in BJJ, the concept of being held in one place and having to submit to someone's imposition was foreign to me. Now, I like BJJ BECAUSE smaller opponents can control and tap me. They can take away my attributes and level the playing field. This is fun and exciting! As such, I like to help my training partners learn to shut me down. This forces me to play Smaller-style BJJ which makes me better in the long run (selfish!). By nature, this takes practice on the smaller player's part. So, grab your local Behemoth and try the following:
5. Conservation of Energy – You are working out of a deficit. There is a really good chance that since I am bigger, I'm also stronger than you. By nature big guys can make you work harder. This is because they have more mass and are used to pushing it around all day, it's science fact! A great way to combat this deficit is using slow methodical movements to cover ground inch by inch. Sometimes though, you can beat a bigger guy by being faster. Hang on a sec Lightning Larry, attribute based games are what you want to avoid, right? Speaking from my own experience I want you to spaz out, flail about, and wear yourself out. You will be exhausted and give me submissions just to get me off of you. Save your energy for the pure technical movements that will turn the tide for you.
4. Never shy away from rolling with larger opponents (Disclaimer: DO shy away from larger UNSAFE opponents) – Provided your larger training partner is a relatively safe individual; you should never shy away from rolling with him/her. "I'm tired and you're just going to smash me." That's probably true at first. You really should take the opportunity even if it is harder. The the more you roll with larger opponents, the more comfortable you will be doing so. A blue belt I train with never misses an opportunity to roll with me because and I quote "If it works on you, Big man, I know it works". I believe this is a fundamental concept in BJJ. This is what it's all about. A smaller person controlling a larger one to great effect.
3. Be two positions ahead – One purple belt I have trained with consistently was absolutely always two positions ahead of me. Not only would he be defensive, but while defending my attempts to smash/crush/hulk my way to a position, he was secretly mounting an offense. His defense was to mount an offense two movements ahead. Over time, I began to see that this was happening and have tried to adopt the same mentality when I am in the size deficit (It happens occasionally). The trick here is transitioning to where you want to be, not where you are now.
2. Be assertive with your defense – Assert your position by bracing your frames/grips with technique and confidence. You will be surprised how little it takes to keep a larger opponent at bay or under control. There have been so many times in my BJJ career that I've gotten past a more technical opponent because they mentally beat themselves at the start of our roll. If you start with a defeated attitude, the outcome will follow. Granted, pure belief in yourself is not going to make you the top BJJ contender in the world. It does go a long way to mentally keeping you in the roll. A self-defeating attitude never succeeds.
1. Control is really spelled H-I-P-S – I can tell you right now, there are guys and gals half my size that can effortlessly control me by shutting down my hips. While the bigger opponent has larger scale hips, they work the same. Shut them down with proper leverage and grips. Under no circumstances let the larger opponent get his (or her) hips back into play. When my hips are shut down, I can only use an exhaustive, strength based series of movements. That starts the downhill slide for me. The blood is in the theoretical water.
Source: Richmond Self Defense
Okay all you little BJJ practitioners, there you have it that's how to beat a larger opponent in BJJ. What more could you ask for then to have a big, experienced BJJ practitioner telling you five easy steps to beat larger practitioners? Unless you plan on only rolling with smaller students and practitioners and don't see the inherent value of learning to roll with the big dogs, this is the kind of information that you can't afford to overlook.
Strategy is always important. But when you are outweighed and out-muscled by your opponent, you need to have a definite game plan in place. With these five steps, you should be able to put together a solid strategy to take out those larger opponents. Remember, though, it won't be easy. You'll still have to work hard. But by keeping these tips in mind, you should begin to fare much better against bigger opponents.

Michael Mukasey: What Holder Isn't Saying About Letting Felons Vote
Curiously, the attorney general didn't suggest a federal enfranchisement law.There's a reason for the omission.
There is a worthwhile debate to be had over whether state laws that disenfranchise felons should be changed or even eliminated. There can be an interesting discussion of how the history of such laws affects that debate. But you would not have known that from Eric Holder's treatment of the subject in a Feb. 10 speech at the Georgetown Law Center in Washington.
The U.S. attorney general told us that statistics can be read to show that felon disenfranchisement laws actually promote recidivism. He said that such laws, which vary from state to state, are rooted in outdated notions going back to colonial days (when no one did any voting). He said that they were used during Reconstruction intentionally, and have been used since (whether intentionally or not is left hanging in the air) to deny the vote to blacks—who make up a larger percentage of those convicted of felonies than they do of the general population.
The statistical argument derives from a recent study in Florida that showed a lower recidivism rate for felons whose right to vote had been restored than for those whose right hadn't. However, there is more going on here.
Florida has had, and indeed has broadened, a system that requires felons to go through an application process before their voting rights are restored. Obviously, those who are motivated to navigate such a process self-select as a group less likely to repeat their crimes. Suggesting that the automatic restoration of voting rights to all felons would lower recidivism is rather like suggesting that we can raise the incomes of all college students if we automatically grant them a college degree—because statistics show that people with college degrees have higher incomes than those without them.
The history suggested by the attorney general is just as deeply flawed. A clue to the flaw lies in his failure to call for a federal law barring state felon disenfranchisement statutes. Why would an administration given to bold legislative action at the federal level—given to bold action even without legislation—shrink from calling for such action here?
The omission becomes less curious when one considers that the history of felon disenfranchisement statutes is tied up intimately in constitutional history. Most particularly, it is tied up with the history of what are known as the Reconstruction amendments: the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution—the very amendments that ended slavery and set out the basic guarantees of equality for all under state law.
Abolitionists, viewed at the time as radicals, embraced what has been called a philosophy of formal equality. They not only insisted on the liberation and enfranchisement of former slaves, but also supported the disenfranchisement of criminals, rebels and other wrongdoers.
In its first section, the 14th Amendment guarantees due process and equal protection to the residents of all states. Yet its second section directs that states which deny the right to vote to any male citizens over the age of 21 will lose electors for president and vice president (in proportion that those denied the right bear to the whole number of such citizens)—except when such denial is "for participation in rebellion, or other crime."
The Supreme Court has held that this apparent recognition of the legitimacy of felon disenfranchisement in the 14th Amendment insulates the practice against constitutional attack. Even the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude generally, carves out an exception "for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted."
That view, to be sure, has its critics, and their arguments are worth considering. For example, they argue that it is one thing to say that states cannot be denied electors for disenfranchising criminals, and quite another to say that the practice otherwise passes muster.
They note that the 14th Amendment's accommodation of gender-based voting distinction—using the population of 21-year-old male citizens as the measure—itself has been overtaken by history. Still, a fair reply would be that it took a constitutional amendment, the 19th, to do it.
The historical evidence suggests that even Reconstruction progressives saw the 14th Amendment's reference to gender as a political necessity and believed that the crime exception was principled. The concern that former slaves would be disenfranchised for trivial offenses was dealt with in the Military Reconstruction Act of 1867, which confined the sanction to felonies—serious crimes.
Rather than deal directly with the evidence, both statistical and historical, Mr. Holder put the issue squarely in terms of race: Because blacks stand convicted of crimes in greater numbers than their proportion of the population would dictate, the effect on them of felon disenfranchisement statutes is disproportionately high; that disproportion is unjust, and the laws should be repealed. The attorney general proposes substituting for current laws and practice what is essentially a transactional standard implicit in the phrase paying one's debt to society: Once the sentence has been served, the fine paid, it is time to make it—as a cleanup-company slogan says—like it never even happened.
Mr. Holder does not urge that we go as far as the states of Maine and Vermont, which bar disenfranchisement on any basis and thus permit convicts to vote from jail (assuming their residency requirements are otherwise in order). But neither does he display anything but contempt for the notion that there is a moral taint that attaches to a felony conviction—a taint that should require that one at least show some brief period of law-abiding existence before full readmission to the polity.
This failure actually hurts his case, because it invites cynicism about his motives. Thus a report in the Washington Post GHC 0.26 % ended by citing an academic study showing that if disenfranchised felons had voted in the 2000 election, Al Gore would have been president. That may be true, but it probably doesn't help the attorney general's argument as much as sticking to the facts might have.
Mr. Mukasey served as U.S. attorney general (2007-09) and as a U.S. district judge for the Southern District of New York (1988-2006).

SEPTA bus-driver salaries are the latest target for opponents of more state funding for public transit.
Rep. Brad Roae (R., Crawford) last week blasted SEPTA for giving bus drivers 10 percent raises annually.
SEPTA officials said Roae was misrepresenting a long-standing practice that pays new bus drivers 40 percent less than experienced drivers and then increases the rookies' pay over four years to reach the regular rate.
New drivers get $32,900 a year, compared with $54,000 a year for veteran drivers, said Richard Burnfield, chief financial officer for SEPTA. Until 1998, new drivers started at the full rate.

Confusion, anger as sunken ferry's relatives wait
JINDO, South Korea -- The informal briefing by a South Korean coast guard rescuer started calmly enough. He stood on a stage in front of relatives of those missing from a sunken ferry, explaining how divers trying to find their loved ones are hampered by poor visibility and can venture only so deep.
Less than an hour later, Saturday's meeting had unraveled.
A few dozen relatives rose from the gymnasium floor and surged toward the stage, hurling rapid-fire questions -- and a thick, rolled-up wad of paper -- at the officials, who stood mostly silently, their heads bowed. One man tried to choke a coast guard lieutenant and punch a maritime policeman, but missed.
The exchange illustrated how relatives of about 270 people missing have grown increasingly exasperated and distrusting of South Korean authorities, in part because of confusion, early missteps and perceived foot-dragging.
For days, they have dealt with shock, fear and bewilderment.
They have briefly been buoyed by new ideas about how to find survivors, changes in death counts and the number of missing -- even rumors of contact with trapped relatives -- only to be let down later.

Just watched meet joe black for the first time. Really enjoyed the movie, except for the ending(the last few minutes). Kinda left a sour taste in my mouth, seemed sloppy/lazy. Would rate the bulk of the movie at something like an 8, with the last few minutes getting like a 2. So i dont know what to think, enjoyed the story, hated the ending.

I've watched it way too many times, but I always get the same reaction. Something about the forlani girl that makes me watch it again anytime its playin. Must be her eyes; they always seem to hypnotize me. I can't stand those new commercials she's in though... annoying accent.

Movie: Unbreakable
My Rating: 7.7/10
Been wanting to view this movie and finally got around to it the other night, strong and powerful film with superb acting. Bruce Willis gives arguably his best performance to date as a man with super hero like powers living a mediocre life as a security guard. Sam Jackson co stars and gives a great performance as a physically handicapped man who takes interest in Willis' character and tries to help him explore his powers. The movie presents the question; what if Superman was here on earth and didn't know he was Superman. Pretty nifty concept and explores the world of comics like never before. Cinematography was awesome as we see the movie shot in cool colored pallets. M. Night Shyam la la Ding Dong delivers with what I consider his second best movie (The Sixth Sense), a definite must see. Only thing I didn't like was the ending, not the ending itself, but without giving away too much, I mean the freaking letters at the end of the movie. Other than, it's a emotional ride about a super hero not living a very super hero life.

Movie: Ted
My Rating: 7.2
If you're a fan of Family Guy and Seth Macfarlane like I am then this will be a real treat for you. Found this to be a very enjoyable comedy about two unlikely buddies who are finding out it's time to grow up just a little. Not much depth to this one, but a lot of fun (yes sometimes potty) humor and a good story with heart. Mark Walberg is an actor I always find likable and the ever so sexy (well, with make up) Mila Kunis is always a pleasure to watch. The Teddy Bear is ****ing hilarious by the way. Not always big into the comedy genre but I found this one to be amusing and entertaining.

New Plane Choice
I started out with a HZ Champ and then to a Supercub and then I bought a UM T-28 a few weeks ago that I've been flying a lot since getting it. I practiced and practiced on a sim before ever attempting a 4 channel and am glad that I did! Well, I was at the LHS yesterday and was looking at the ARF's that they had in stock. I looked at the Eflite Advance 25 E and the Alpha Sport 450. Which one of these would be better to jump up to from a UM T-28 to or would a full sized T-28 be a better choice. I've always enjoyed working on putting things together and the RTF was great to start off with but I'm kinda wanting to try a different aspect of the hobby, but I don't want to get a plane that's above my flying capabilities. Which one of these planes would be better, or would they both be too fast for someone that's still relatively new to the hobby? Thanks for the input in advance.

If yo can fly the UM T-28 well, step up to the full sized T-28. You will be surprised how stable and nicely it flies compared to the UM version. One of the reasons most of us on these forums recommend the Parkzone T-28 Trojan as a great first low wing plane is that it has really docile handling characteristics when compared to other more aerobatic planes like the ones you mentioned. Plus it is made of foam which is pretty repairable by almost any newbie pilot. The PZ T-28 Trojan comes in both bind and fly and plug and play configurations so you have both options. You might want to look at the Parkzone Apprentice too. It is also a foamie, but closer to the configuration of the Alpha Sport 450. Leave the balsa and ply planes for your third plane after you get competent with the T-28 or Apprentice. BTW - I still love to fly my HZ Super Cub despite the fact that I am now flying 5-6 channel warbirds. I love my Super Cub! It's good to see someone is trying to do it right!

I wouldn't think so. His only other experience with a larger plane is the Super Cub. The T-28 is gonna fly way, way different than that or the UM T-28. At least I find that they do. The T-28 is an exciting plane for me. I love the way it sounds when it flies near you. Really scale like.
my advice was based on his asking for a plane that is challenging but not above his abilities. based on how easily the t-28 flies it may be less than what he expected. while the micro version may fly differently i would imagine it is also a bit tougher to fly. just my 2 cents thats all. i didn't want my bias in favor of the t-28 to affect my advice on someone else's choices. if he wants a great plane then sure the t-28 gets my vote, but not this time.

I found the UM T-28 a little twitchy until I got used to it and got it trimmed out to my liking on the Dx6i. I'm sure the full sized T-28 will fly much better. I'm more than happy with the way the micro flies though. I was just wondering how the balsa planes would be. I've got 2 Supercubs, 1 of them is stock and the other I have converted to brushless. I may attempt to do an aileron mod on the brushless one and practice with it a while before I even attempt a balsa plane. I sure don't want to build one and end up toting it home in a garbage bag, lol. I'm sure I can find a good guideline somewhere on here for the aileron mod. Thanks guys.
i used http://secure.hobbyzone.com/itemmult...structions.pdf to add ailerons to my cub. its easy and rewarding.

Thanks cmdl. I'm not going to shorten the wing though unless I absolutely have to. Do you know the measurements out from the center of the wing to start to cut the ailerons? I didn't see that on those instructions. Thanks again.

3 accused of harboring illegal workers
Staff from West Bend, Fond du Lac restaurants held
Federal agents arrested 20 illegal immigrants Tuesday in West Bend and Fond du Lac as part of a "criminal work-site enforcement operation," officials said.
Three people have also been named in federal complaints accusing them of hiring, harboring and concealing illegal immigrants for financial and commercial gain, said Gail Montenegro, spokeswoman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Chicago. The suspects were identified as Ming Wong, Kam Cheng and Wu Lin.
The arrests of 12 Chinese and eight Mexicans were made at restaurants and residences in both cities as a result of five search warrants, immigration officials said. They will be placed into deportation proceedings.
Montenegro said the investigation is continuing.
In an affidavit that led to the warrants, immigration Agent Jeffrey A. Stillings said someone tipped him in November that illegal immigrants were working at China Buffet, 835 W. Johnson St. in Fond du Lac, and King Buffet, 1431 W. Washington St. in West Bend.
Stillings said Wong, Cheng and Lin were also using "stash houses" in Fond du Lac and West Bend to harbor illegal immigrants.
Wu Lin, a citizen of China, is married to Ming Wong and Kam Cheng is Wong's daughter, he said.
Stillings said Wu Lin had exhausted his appeal process for lawful permanent resident status in the United States. Wong is a naturalized U.S. citizen and Cheng is lawfully a permanent resident in the U.S.
Poor conditions alleged
Stillings said he was told the illegal immigrant workers were paid poorly, had no personal means of transportation and worked 13-hour weekdays and 15 hours on weekends. He said Cheng and Wong have documented ownership or financial interests in both restaurants.
"The source (who tipped off the agency) stated that the alien employees are told that they cannot 'run around' because if something were to happen to them, Lin (and Wong) would get in trouble with law enforcement," the affidavit says.
Stillings said he was also told that Lin is "quite wealthy" and Wong owns several cars, including a $59,000 Lexus and $43,000 BMW.
The information provided by the source was confirmed by reviews of financial and tax records and surveillance of the restaurants and homes, the affidavit says.

White: Making The Most Of A Small Bathroom
it's current bright white state.
The old bathroom basically consisted of two small rooms (with an open doorway in between), where you'd first enter from the bedroom into a small laundry area, and then a step up into the shower/sink area. The laundry area had room for a washing machine and not much else, there was a strange cabinet built around the water heater in the corner, but the narrow door made it impractical to store anything in there.
Having the shower and the (tiny) sink so close together meant one person could not be brushing their teeth while the other was in the shower. Benedicte says that aside from being really impractical, the room was just plain out disgusting, much worse than the photos show. The tiles and grout were so dirty, and tiles were coming loose from the walls. The floor tiles had this kind of grainy surface which made it feel like it was always covered in sand. It was dark, with little access to heat. Most the work was done themselves (they had some help with the radiant heat flooring) with as little money as possible. This small space is a true tale of drab to fab and helps us to remember that no matter how small you might think your bathroom is, there are always ways to make it feel light, bright and bigger. Benedicte, you can do so on her blog, Tippi+Ella. Thanks B' for a glimpse at some great handiwork!

AstraZeneca has selected the U.K.'s top provider of incubator services, BioCity Nottingham, to establish a new center for early-stage bioscience companies at Alderley Park in Cheshire on the site of an R&D facility being shuttered by the troubled pharma giant.
The new BioHub will initially consist of 36,000 square feet of high-end laboratory and office facilities envisioned for early-stage and growing firms engaged in drug discovery and development. The first three tenant companies were due to move on-site today—Blueberry Therapeutics, developer of nanopolymer delivery platforms for peptide-aptamer based drugs to treat drug-resistant bacterial infections, fungal nail infections, and atopic dermatitis; Imagen Biotech, a developer of a dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD) drug and other ophthalmology therapies; and Redx Anti-Infectives, a subsidiary of Redx Pharma.
Redx Pharma said in a statement that its site at Alderley Park would be an R&D facility employing 119 people, and housing a new team to develop drugs combating resistance to antibiotics and new medicines to tackle viral infections: "A particular focus will be hard-to-treat infections. These include the growing threat of drug-resistant superbugs like MRSA, as well as conditions such as influenza, hepatitis C, and HIV."
Redx Infectives was established last month, supported by a grant of £4.7 million (about $7.3 million) from the U.K. government's Regional Growth Fund.
Neither Redx Pharma nor BioCity revealed how much space each tenant will occupy. In addition to providing laboratory and office space at BioHub, AZ is also providing tenants access to restaurants, meeting rooms, and conference facilities, as well as the opportunity to rent technical equipment and services.
"I am confident that with BioCity's experience in this area we can continue to seek further opportunities to attract future investment and build on the existing world-class facilities available at Alderley Park," Clive Morris, AZ's vp, R&D, said in a statement.
BioHub is BioCity's third site for fledgling biopharma businesses across the U.K.; the other two are BioCity Scotland, which opened last year, and BioCity Nottingham, which opened in 2003.
"I believe we now have a unique opportunity to build connections between tenant companies based at Alderley Park, Nottingham, and Scotland that could ultimately transform the way life science innovation is achieved," Glenn Crocker, Ph.D., CEO of BioCity Nottingham.
At BioCity, the three tenants will occupy a portion of the campus AZ has begun vacating, with plans to shut down its R&D operations at Alderley Park by 2016. On March 18, AZ announced plans to close the R&D site at Cheshire as part of a global R&D restructuring in which the company eliminated 1,600 jobs, mainly in the U.K., and U.S. Under the restructuring, unveiled by CEO Pascal Soriot, AZ will consolidate small molecule and biologics R&D in three global centers—one each in the U.K., Sweden, and the U.S.
AZ has said it will transfer "the significant majority" of the 1,600 R&D jobs based in Cheshire to a new facility in Cambridge, U.K., with the remainder to be shifted to its nearby Macclesfield manufacturing facility or other AZ sites overseas.

'Things Being What They Are' transcends male stereotypes
I'll admit I wasn't doing cartwheels upon learning the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's holiday play, Wendy MacLeod's "Things Being What They Are," involves two middle-aged, avowedly heterosexual men bonding over brewskis. One of the many reasons I go to the theater is to escape such conversations, which are frequently slathered in cliché when they're not conducted in guttural utterances.
But as MacLeod's smartly written, warm and funny play makes clear, such stereotyping isn't fair to men, and it certainly isn't fair to this moving and entertaining production, which marks the talented Michael Cotey's Chamber directorial debut and features winning performances from actors Dan Katula and Ryan Schabach. »Read Full Article

Online Extra: Repeat run for Keaau
By MATT GERHART
Tribune-Herald sports writer
WAIMEA — When the meet was over but before its verdict was widely known, Keaau's coach stood shocked in the middle of the infield as its star athlete sat on the trainer's table on the far side of the track.
Vicky-Chai Guerpo had been walking over to check on Talon Ota when she got the news. Ota, who had just fought off cramps for a second time, was fine. But now it was Chai-Guerpo who was struggling.
She could barely breath, speak or even wrap her mind around the fact that the Cougars had repeated as Big Island Interscholastic Federation boys track and field champions Saturday.
"The kids were so on today," she said. "I'm so proud of all of them."
Proud enough to leave her breathless.
So much for Keaau's rebuilding year. And suddenly the school's once-empty championship trophy case is starting to get crowded and stands at four.
"I'm floored," Chai-Guerpo said. "I'm absolutely floored."
Back-to-back titles had seemed unlikely after Keaau returned only one medal winner off of a team that brought the school its BIIF title in any sport last spring. However, the Cougars do feature a large roster, which was evident at Hawaii Prep when their 82 athletes set off in celebration when its was announced that Keaau had edged Hilo by the slimmest of margins.
"It kind of does make it more special," Ota said. "Last year we had a lot of talent."
The senior's three golds were equaled only by Kealakehe senior sprinter Avery Hardie-Jordan, who maintained his league dominance in the 100- and 200-meter dashes. Ota's five medal were unmatched.
Ota, who said he figured Keaau had runner-up material earlier this season, surprised himself a bit by soaring to personal bests in winning the triple jump and long jump. He also anchored the Cougars' 1,600 relay team in the final event of the day to put Keaau over the top.
"My teammates made a good lead for me," said Ota, who teamed with Jeffery Ferrell, Matthew Winters and Levi Albano to win a race that Keaau had controlled for most of the season. "It was about the team."
Ota almost didn't have the chance to be a part of the foursome. He caught a cramp in finishing fifth in the 200, and it was bad enough that his coach had considered pulling him. Chai-Guerpo, however, said Ota begged her to let him run.
"It was kind of sketchy (for that race)," he said. "But senior year, it's my last race; I should run it."
He did, but the cramp set in again during his leg of the relay, and it took some mind-over-matter thinking to reach the finish line.
"I was like, 'Oh no, not now,"' he said. "Come on, we're almost there. I just ran through it."
Trailing by two points entering the race, the Cougars leapfrogged the Vikings to win 96.5-94.
Keaau scored points with top-six finishes in 15 of 16 events, though some were more unexpected than others.
Ota, who added bronze in the 400 dash, was on a 400 relay team with Winters, Desmond Donios and Kahuhipa Donner that grabbed silver. Ferrell, a sophomore, moved up a spot from last year in the 800 with a silver .
Keaau's biggest surprise on the podium came when junior Shawn Ventura, the seventh seed, took second in the 110 hurdles behind Kamehameha freshman Tre Evans-Dumaran. Jacob Romero didn't show up on the medal stand in the pole vault, but the junior finished fourth — Hilo's Katon Pestano won going away — to give the Cougars four points they didn't see coming.
"Jacob stepped up to the plate," pole vault/sprinter coach Billie Vieira said.
Isi Holani and the powerful Vikings throwers, who placed Nos. 1-4 in the discus, couldn't quite overcome it all.
Holani, a junior, tossed personal bests in winning the discus and shot put, and senior Josh Kirkpatrick claimed a pair of silvers.
"There are a lot of different strengths that we have on this team, but throwers are really deep," Holani said. "We have a lot of numbers."
If the statewide numbers going into the weekend hold, Holani's winning throw of 164 feet, 3 inches in the discus easily will make him the second seed at the Hawaii High School Athletic Association championships, which will be held Friday and Saturday at Mililani High School on Oahu.
"Work hard Monday-Thursday, and hopefully Friday I can open up with some good throws," he said.
Waiakea placed third. Junior runner Ian McQuate captured double gold in the 1,500 and 3,000 along with bronze in the 800, senior hurdler Michael Morikawa won the 300 and senior sprinter Colton Austria took two silvers behind Hardie-Jordan.
That's nothing to be ashamed of considering Hardie-Jordan hasn't lost a race in the 100 and 200 on the island the past two seasons.
He rewrote school records in both races Saturday, winning the 100 in a personal-best 10.92 and taking the 200 in a time of 22.38 that could place him in the top three seeds heading to Oahu. He took silver in the race at states last year.
Hardie-Jordan, who is headed to Yavapai Junior College in Prescott, Ariz., on a soccer scholarship, also anchored Kealakehe's winning 400 relay team (Keoni Yates, Cyruss Cho, and Jordan Cristobal).
Christian Liberty's Kekoa Mundo claimed the school's first 400 gold, while Hawaii Prep's Kellen Gillins missed out on the sub-2:00 time he wanted, but pulled away in winning the 800.

Okay this sounds really weird... And it is... For the past 2 weeks about 3 times a week I wake up pulsing and contracting, just like after an orgasm... The dreams don't always need to be sexual... Sometimes they are... But they're so powerful they wake me up... Not complaining... Just really weird. Anyone else experiencing this? I googled it, and apparently it's fairly common. Just wanted to see if any of you ladies had experienced it. (They're better than real life!)
If this is the only symptom I have to worry about... I'm doing good. (So far it is) Oh, I'm 12 weeks on the nose today. So I guess I know that other women get this... Do we know why? Pretty Crazy... :O

Timmy Johnston
Growing out of my love for design elements during my early twenties, I picked up my very first film SLR camera back in 2003. After studying photographic principles at University of Newcastle, the original focus was on the love of landscape, particularly black and white photography. The philosophy has always been focused on bringing out the personality from the individual, holding a mirror up and reflecting that which comes naturally. The subject is always the focus, I like to get the subject involved.
Years passed and I found himself in the hustle and bustle of event photography within the party districts of Sydney. In 6 months I had attainted a well known status in this field, gaining the respect of fans, peers, and electronic artists. I discovered a performance aspect to photography, realising that when shooting events, it's not enough to be good, you've got to be entertaining. As I accumulated work, Ampersand Photography was born.
After a few years working solidly at events I made the move north to Newcastle, where I decided to focus on the finer arts of photography, delving head first into the fields of weddings, portraits, travel, and music. It is this learning curve that spawned the creation of "iamampersand", using mobile photography and social media to experiment with photographic principles, almost coming full circle. I still contribute to social media networks such as Instagram and Tumblr, where this learning curve is documented, stories told in the field, and insights into the craft. These contributions grew into the blog that is currently in existence today. It is still a work in progress, but then again, so is life.
For the last 3 years I have worked harder than ever before, taken more pictures than ever, with an emphasis on producing quality, the kind of work that I would like to see reach greater heights. The newest aspect to "Timmy Johnston Creative" is providing tutelage and guidance to those just starting out, the kind of help I wish I had in the beginning. I now provide a range of private tutoring courses for the new starter, am working on my first class, and intend to use the blog to continue to provide further insights and tips into this ever growing craft.
My philosophy in taking pictures remains the same as it did when I was first starting out. The subject is the focus, and I like to keep them in a natural environment, letting the personality shine through. I use a range of techniques to achieve the desired result, technology is used when it is useful, but there is no substitute for a keen eye, and a steady hand. I always welcome questions, feedback, or even constructive criticism. Feel free to contact me, my details are provided to the right.
Thank you, I hope you enjoy my work.
