Once the clay is dry, it is washed away, leaving a cleaner, whiter marble surface. -Sarah Rosenblatt, Preservationist at MBB

It would help to know what airplane. Irate/tanic cells are wide but deliver more amps. Thunder power2100s are thick and long, I just saw a pack of thunder power 1900's they are more square.
If you want 25 amps out of one set of cells irate 2600s will do and weigh only 6 oz for a 3 cell pack.
There are several planes and several motors on this. I'm replacing 8-KAN stick pack (2 columns of 4-end-to-end).
1. Miniflash
2. GWS warbirds
3. HET RC yak-1 (https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...hreadid=184909)
4. Hummingbird heli
5. 34"-46" wingspan scale warbird (still thinking)
The thunder power packs are about the same physical dimensions as a 7 cell 2/3a pack (two sticks of 3 plus on on the end). 2100 ma 3s pack.
Re: Let's say I'm ready for Lipo, which one to get?
My only concern here is that you reference replacing an 8 cell NiMh (9.6 volt) pack with a 3S Lipo(11.1 volts). If we're talking GWS EPS 300, 350 motors, I think you will shorten their lives with 11 volts.
I think you should be looking at 2S for those motors.
Sierra Gold
2100 not good for 25 amps, you would need to go to 2p. 15 amps are ok for short period, not continous. I try to avg about a 4C discharge. Seems to me there is a problem rating cells at a constant C rate. It is good to know to compare brand X to brand Y but as far actually using the pack, I like to know what is the max short term discharge and the voltage drop at that rate, along with the max recommended avg discharge. Personally I like to fly for 10-15 min so a 4-5C avg discharge is good, and would like to be able to go to 10C for short periods of time, That is the cell I want.
I have heard multiple people relate that they use TP 2100 3s1p packs at 18a static/14a constant and that while they get reduced capacity (80% i think) the packs hold voltage under the load. I'd say for 15a a 3s2p pack of etec 1200's could pull it off... or you could just use a 3s2p pack of TP2100's all the time and it'd be good for ~25a.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. Seems like TP might not be my choice.
I'm not running GWS EPS300 or EPS350, I'm running all BL;
1. Mega 16/7/7 2.8:1 APC9x7.5E ..... should run <= 12 A cont.
2. MpJet 25/35-20 4:1 APC9x6SF/E ..... should run <= 15 A cont.
3. Mega 16/15/4 2.5:1 APC11x7E 11x8E .... should run <=25 A cont.
I would prefer 3s pack vs 3s2p pack if I have choice. Is any other good brand/ model I should look?
PS: I ran EPS300 with 8-KAN and GWS1080, it last only 5 flights
Last edited by temp_oct; Jan 07, 2004 at 01:49 PM.
now I'm confused, if you need to fit a particular battery compartment then you are somewhat limited to which cells. E-tec 1200 cells are about the same widht and height as the 2100 pack but not as long (about 2/3 as long), you could get two 1200 packs to fit if you have the length. Like I said before, the TP 2100 would fit an existing compartment setup for 2 sticks of 4 2/3a cells. Either the TP2100 or 2p of the Etecs would fit the first 2 applications. I only have exp with E-tecs and TP so can not comment on irate or tanics. Is there a space consideration? Do you fly wide open throttle for the entire flight?
So you fly full throttle all the time when you are flying?
If so, then the current you see on the ground with a fresh pack is much higher than it will be in the air - especially at the end of a flight.
1. Mega 16/7/7 2.8:1 APC9x7.5E ..... should run <= 12 A cont.
This is easy for the TP2100-3S packs. In the air, it will unload to around 11 amps or slightly less.
2. MpJet 25/35-20 4:1 APC9x6SF/E ..... should run <= 15 A cont.
Again, still easy for the TP2100-3S packs. In the air, the current will be closer to 14 amps. The newest 2100s you can order directly from TP by calling them are capable of 7C continuous (14.7 amps).
3. Mega 16/15/4 2.5:1 APC11x7E 11x8E .... should run <=25 A cont.
In the air, around 23 amps or so. You could easily use the TP4200-3S2P pack. It is built using the 2100s and is capable of 29 amps continuous and sells for $140 direct from TP.
If you fly wide open throttle all the time with this set up, you will toast your 16/15/4 motor @ 25 amps. MY guess is that you throttle back somewhat on all your models, so the average current draw is less than you have listed. IF you order the newest TP2100s direct from TP, they will easily handle your requirements since they are capable of 7C continuous and up to 10-12C in short 5-10 second bursts.
Give them a call directly for more info:

... several months so i was put on birth control pills to regulate the bleeding. I have had normal periods thanks to the pill but I am now a week late on my period. I dont think that i could be pregnant since im using two forms of birth control even though my boyfriend and i have unprotected sex. Is it possible that my periods have finally stopped due to the nexplanon or should i be worried about pregnancy?
I have had nexplanon for two years (got it put in late august 2012) and was bleeding every day for?

im still cramping though as if im on my period, is that also normal?
Cramping is normal I was on implanon before and it stopped my periods completely but still had minimal cramping wen aunt flow was supposed to show up
People saying you shouldnt be worried about pregnancy, NO contraceptive is 100% and unless a doctor has told you these two medicines are compatible, never combine them!!! I went to the doctors and told them to put me on the combined pill while I was on nexplanon, she warned me i shouldnt be taking the two together as it can result in making one or the other defective, i risk pregnancy, but mine also was to the stop the bleeding i didnt care about pregnancy at that point...
I would go the doctors, make sure you are 100% not pregnant, and then worry about the other mannny problems it could be, but good look with everything

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm going to travel around for the next 6 months and I would like to couchsurf as much as I can to get to know the places I will visit. When I get back from my trip I can host people, as a way to extend it...
I used to couchsurf three years ago in China and met really interesting peopole during my trip. I had such wonderful experience with them that I am really eager to renew!
Unfortunatly I haven't been able to host anyone so far, but I hope I'll do that soon!
Travelling and knowing about other countries, meeting people (new people, but also people I know, I just like spending time with friends), going to the movies, the theater, hiking...

I'm often in business tips and quite busy with work the rest of the time, but still I'm happy I get to know people from different cultures and share traveling stories with them!
So depending on the period I may have time to spend with you or not, but I'll tell you when you request a couch and I'll do my best finish work early and/or have lunch with you if I can.
In any case I'll help you with whatever you might need within the city or for further destinations you're going to.
What I'm looking for mostly is to get to know other people I wouldn't have had the chance to meet otherwise. What I can offer depends on you and what you're looking for.

Unanswered: ByVal versus ByRef
Hi all,
I wrote following code to test the difference between byVal and ByRef :
Private Sub Main()
Dim var As Byte
var = 5
Debug.Print var
ModifyByVal (var)
Debug.Print "modified by val : " & var
ModifyByRef (getal)
Debug.Print "modified by ref : " & var
End Sub
Private Sub ModifyByVal(ByVal var As Byte)
var = 10
End Sub
Private Sub ModifyByRef(ByRef var As Byte)
var = 10
End Sub
I expected the value of var to be 10 after calling the sub ModifiedByRef.
But it still shows 5.
I wanted to test this because I have a similar issue in my real program. I passed a recordset by val. In the called sub I do a loop through this recordset till EOF. In my mainsub, also the recordset I passed is EOF????
Thanks for your help

I've learned something new here. Hopefully someone can explain, or you can use it to google and find the answer.
Both of these work, but your syntax does not.
ModifyByRef valCode:
Call ModifyByRef (val)
When you pass a recordset you don't pass the object, you pass a pointer to the object in memory. Whether you pass that pointer by value or reference makes no difference - both still point to the same address location.Testimonial:

Wilde Sapte is set to lose Deloitte & Touche and remaining fees from the Barings case when litigation partner Philip Rocher goes to Clifford Chance at the start of the next year.
Rocher's main client Deloitte & Touche is a defendant in the £1bn Barings case.
The case is set for 2001 at London's High Court (The Lawyer, 6 September).
Head of litigation at Clifford Chance Chris Perrin says: "Both Clifford Chance and Wilde Sapte are being instructed by Deloitte & Touche." But a spokesman for Clifford Chance says: "As from 1 January 2000, Wilde Sapte will cease to be involved in the case. Philip Rocher will head up the account."
Rocher appears to be running the case through Clifford Chance, despite remaining at Wilde Sapte for the rest of the year. Some of his team have gone to Clifford Chance to coordinate the case from there, and more are set to leave when Rocher goes.
He says: "It is a big case and it needs a big team. Some of the people who worked on the case for me are going. And some of the people working on the case have gone to Clifford Chance: William Farara, a litigation assistant, and Adrian White, a para-legal. I am running the case with those people and others at Clifford Chance."
Rocher began looking for a new post when Wilde Sapte formalised talks with Arthur Andersen last year. Deloitte & Touche, which told him it would not be keen on instructing him if he was a partner at a rival accountants.
The Andersens merger collapsed, but it came too late to persuade Rocher to stay. Initial talks with Freshfields failed before he spoke to Clifford Chance (The Lawyer, 23 June 1998).

Welcome to Miss Mouthy! This post may or may not contain affiliate links You'll just have to find out. Okay, yes, it probably does have affiliate links. You've been warned!
I am so delighted to be a part of the Glad Waste Less Program! A group of bloggers in King County has the opportunity to try out some new Glad products and work on ways to reduce waste. Part of the program is a visit with Tom Watson, who runs the eco-consumer division of King County, in Washington State. He writes columns for Seattle Times and also has appearances on KOMO 4 News.
Before I met Tom, I was nervous. I'm a mother of two. I work full time. Life is hectic. Was he going to tell me I needed to eat from bamboo plates when away from home? That I should always drink Starbucks from an aluminum thermos with a crocheted cozy made from organic, up-cycled wool? These ideas come from a relative of mine who does these things and would rather die than drink Starbucks. I don't ever think he'll read my blog, but just in case…Hi There, Uncle Cousin Guy!
Meeting Tom was a relief. He talked about Green Guilt and some of the marital problems that arise when couples have different eco-ideals. I love this guy!!! His basic message is that we can all reduce our waste, but it needs to fit in our lifestyle.
The Mouthy Family already recycles, but we need to help our children learn what can be recycled and what is just garbage. Tom printed off a handy list from my city about what can and cannot be recycled. While not nearly as extensive as Seattle, it had been updated and I was surprised about what can now be recycled. Tom also suggested we get our girls involved in recycling. Perhaps they can draw a recycle symbol to remind them to recycle when possible. I might even have my oldest daughter make a poster to remind us ALL of what can be recycled!
As for Green Guilt, which I think Tom should trademark, he said you can only do what you can do. If each of us picked up a few new habits each year, waste would be reduced dramatically. For example, in our neighborhood, all of us dump our grass in the open field across the street and take our limbs to the end of the road. Because of this, we don't have a yard waste container. Lots of our family waste could be put in yard waste. However, Tom noted we have chickens and worm bins, which can take care of a fair amount of our waste. You do what you can do.
Tom and I also discussed composting. Every time I've looked into composting, I have two concerns. The bins are expensive and composting itself seems very complicated…a certain percentage of brown to green, high heat to kill everything bad, turning it all the time…too much work! Tom pointed out that he only turns his compost 3 or 4 times per year! That doesn't sound too hard. He also suggested using pallets tied together (well, a bit more difficult, but pretty darn easy and cheap) to create a compost bin. He even pointed out a nice out-of-the-way corner to put it! I'm really excited to try this out. I even know a place to pick up free pallets!
I'm excited to see how my family and I can work on reducing our waste. A huge thank you to Tom Watson and the Glad Waste Less program. Be on the lookout for future posts about our progress and about the cool Glad products we're using.

How to haggle to reduce your credit card debt and rates
You can negotiate yourself or turn to an accredited credit counseling agency
Ask a question.
Dear New Frugal You,
What's the best way to haggle over debts and get out for paying only half or even a third? I've never been able to accomplish this feat but would love to try. -- Wanda B. Haggler
Dear Ms. Haggler,
You have a lot of company. According to a Sept. 1 Fitch Ratings report, 3.76 percent of credit card debt was 60 days or more delinquent. When you consider that Americans owe well over $800 billion in revolving debt, nearly all of it on credit cards, that's a lot of debt that people are struggling to pay.
No doubt you've seen or heard the ads touting that with one phone call, you can cut your debts by up to two-thirds. The soothing voice makes it sound painless. And, in some ways, it is.
You call a credit counselor on an 800 number. Choose one that's either a member of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling or Association of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies. The counselor will ask about all your debts. In many cases, they can work out a deal (known as a debt management plan, or DMP) that will lower the interest rate on your credit card balance and reduce the monthly payment.
Typically they'll consolidate all your payments. You'll send your check to them and they'll pay your creditors. Fairly clean and easy.
But there is a cost. Your credit report will show that you're "On Payment Plan" for those accounts. The result will be a lower credit score than if you were "current" or "paid as agreed" on them.
For the most part, these credit counselors work best for people who have more than $10,000 in credit card debt and who are beginning to fall behind in making their minimum monthly payments.
If you're having payment trouble each month, a DMP could be the best option for you. Having an account listed as "On Payment Plan" is better than being marked as "30 Days Late" or worse.
But, if you are able to make the minimum monthly payment and have a decent credit score, you have other, better options available.
Wouldn't you rather pay only half of your debts without needing to haggle at all? There are two ways to significantly reduce the amount you'll pay to settle your debts that require no discussion with the lender.
The first method is to transfer your credit card balances to a lower interest rate card. Suppose you owed $10,000 on your credit card. If you reduced the interest by just 3 percent (say from 17 percent to 14 percent), you'd reduce the amount of interest you'd pay from $22,190 to $12,887. That's a savings of about $9,300!
And, you don't need to haggle with anyone. Just transfer your balance to a lower rate card. Evaluate whether a transfer is right for you -- there are hefty balance transfer fees these days -- using our balance transfer calculator.
There's another way to cut your debt more quickly: Pay more than the minimum amount each month. This one is just a little harder because it requires you to find some extra money each month to put toward your debt.
Let's see how it works. Take a $10,000 credit card debt at 17 percent interest. If your monthly minimum payment is calculated by one common method -- all interest due plus 1 percent of the principal -- your minimum payment would be $242 today. Each month it would decrease a bit until the debt was completely repaid. Making minimum payments, you'd pay $13,794 in interest and be writing checks for a mind-boggling 380 months (that's more than 31 years!).
But, look what happens if instead of paying the minimum, you add to the $242 and pay $267 each month. You'll reduce the amount of interest paid to just $4,355. That's a savings of more than $9,000! Plus, you'll finish paying it off in less than five years! Plug your own numbers into our minimum payment calculator to see how your own numbers stack up, and how much you can save by holding the payment steady, at an amount higher than the minimum.
So getting your debt reduced isn't as hard as you might have thought. And, if you're able to do it without the help of a credit counselor, you'll likely improve your credit score, too!

Skip to comments.(Pope) Francis sends Prefect of Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples to Iraq
Posted on 08/08/2014 2:45:50 PM PDT by NYer
iacopo scaramuzzi
città del vaticano
Pope Francis has decided to send Cardinal Fernando Filoni to Iraq where the self-proclaimed Caliphate is driving Christians out of their cities in the Nineveh Plain in the next few days. Apostolic Nuncios in the Middle East are expected to meet in Rome, probably in September.
In light of the grave situation in Iraq, the Holy Father has nominated Cardinal Fernando Filoni, Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples (Propaganda Fide), as his personal envoy to express his spiritual closeness to the people who suffer and to bring them the solidarity of the Church, a statement issued by the Holy See reads.
I ask all men and women of goodwill to join me in praying for Iraqi Christians and all vulnerable populations, the Pope wrote on Twitter.
The Vatican spokesman, Fr. Federico Lombardi, said it was still too early to give any details regarding Cardinal Filonis mission which will embark on in the next few days (the cardinal will not therefore travel to South Korea with the Pope as originally planned), because he is still planning his trip. Depending on the complexity of the situation, it is expected that Cardinal Filoni will was to visit Kurdistan, Fr. Lombardi told journalists.
The Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples was formerly Nuncio to Iraq and stayed there even when US bombs started falling. Lombardi underlined that Cardinal Filoni is very qualified for this both because of his authoritativeness and because he was Nuncio to Jordan and Iraq from 2001 to 2006 and as many will recall, he was the only diplomat who stayed put in Baghdad, the Vatican spokesman said, stressing the courage of this choice.
Apart from showing the Churchs support to the population, the Prefect is also expected to bring a financial contribution from the Holy Father. The cardinal will communicate the Popes interest and concern regarding the situation in Iraq to the authorities.
Apostolic Nuncios in the region have been asked to inform political and civil authorities and local Churches of the appeal the Pope sent out for Iraq yesterday, Fr. Lombardi said. A meeting of Apostolic Nuncios in Rome is also being planned, to be held further on down the line, possibly in September, Fr. Lombardi said. The Pope apparently held a meeting with his closest collaborators yesterday, to come up with a diplomatic strategy on the emergency in Iraq.
The decision to send him to Iraq shows the Popes concern for the suffering Christians are experiencing: the pain of having left their homes, of being uprooted, humiliated, leaving their homes as they were and having to seek refuge elsewhere, Cardinal Filoni told Vatican Radio. At the moment we are trying to organise the trip as it is not easy to get there
the Italian cardinal said. But there is no need to be afraid. Above all, I will try to bring solidarity and closeness through prayer and in practice, Filoni said. I am sure that the Holy Father will tell me specifically what he wants me to communicate to these people, who are so dear to him and to the whole Church. The Patriarch of Babylon of the Chaldeans, Louis Raphael I Sako, + spoke about the risk of a Christian genocide. Patriarch Sako is there and is more in the know about many aspects which many unfortunately escape us, Filoni said. Sadly this is not the first time Christians in this area have been forced to migrate and have experienced unspeakable suffering. So it is a population that still carries within it a great deal of suffering and I understand the Patriarchs words. Yesterday, after militants of the self-proclaimed Caliphate had entered Nineveh Plain the previous evening chasing out thousands of Christians living in the surrounding villages, Cardinal Filoni issued a statement to Fides, Propaganda Fides news agency, saying: Christians had to abandon everything, even their shoes, heading towards the Kurdistan Region barefoot. The effects of this exodus risk becoming more far-reaching because Erbil - the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan is not prepared to take them in as they have nowhere to put a thousand people.
I think a division of Swiss Guard might have been more useful.
Sadly, one doesn't exist. There are less than 150 Swiss Guards, I believe.
Action with a side order of prayer is needed, swift unrelenting action!
Actually, I think there are about 80.
Prayer for Iraq
O God, who art the unsearchable abyss of peace,
the ineffable sea of love, the fountain of blessings
and the bestower of affection,
who sendest peace to those that receive it;
Open to us this day the sea of thy love
and water us with plenteous streams
from the riches of thy grace
and from the most sweet springs of thy kindness.
Make us children of quietness and heirs of peace,
enkindle in us the fire of thy love;
sow in us thy fear;
strengthen our weakness by thy power;
bind us closely to thee and to each other
in our firm and indissoluble bond of unity:
Syrian Clementine Liturgy (in: For all God's people; p. 73)
Litany for Iraq
For lasting peace in this ancient land – From you, O Lord.
For wisdom and compassion for all in authority – From you, O Lord.
For comfort for families separated or bereaved – From you, O Lord.
For the release of captives – From you, O Lord.
For safety and security for minority communities.
For refreshment for the weary and healing for the sick – From you, O Lord.
For continuing faithfulness of the ancient churches of this land – From you, O Lord.
For tenacity of spirit for small Christian groups – From you, O Lord.
For the mutual enrichment and support of those of different Christian traditions – From you, O Lord.
You, Lord of all, we confess;
You, Lord Jesus, we glorify;
For you are the life of our bodies
And you are the Saviour of our souls.
The response in the litany and this hymn both come from the Chaldean liturgy. The ancient hymn celebrates Christ the source of resurrection in all situations of death and deprivation. (in: With All God's People, p. 21, 22)
From Anonymous:
Father God, Our Savior and King,
We come to You in despair over the evil being done to our Middle East Christian brothers and sisters. We ask that You would put Your hand of protection upon them and that You would sustain them as You did the Israelites in the desert. Lord, cause our brothers and sisters to cry out to You for help and show them the peace that only You can give in answer to their needs. In their darkest moments, Lord, keep them, strengthen them, and comfort them. When they despair that no one is coming to help them, Lord, reveal Your glory and restore their souls.
We ask you these things in the blessed name of Your precious son, Jesus Christ.

The adaptive processing approach improves microprocessor energy efficiency by dynamically tuning major resources during execution to better match varying application needs. This tuning usually involves reducing a resource's size when its full capabilities are not needed, then restoring the disabled portions when they are needed again.

Adaptive processors require few additional transistors. Further, because adaptation occurs only in response to infrequent trigger events, the decision logic can be placed into a low-leakage state until such events occur.

— In-game description
"She's very difficult to control, but can prove to be a pure speed menace in battle."
|Fandro RPG
|Fandro RPG: Stray By Me
Ono, is a default character in Brawl of the Fandraxonians, being a unique representative of the Fandro RPG franchise. She is the only non canon logical character to be in the game.
She originated as a joke by the user TimeSoul (Mirai Moon; Jake) who found Crimson's old username "Fandraxono" a shipping title. Crimson hated the character and Jake decided to throw Ono into Stray By Me, which Crimson was okay with and found her a nice character later on.
Ono's gameplay is about pure speed and magic and hardly anything else. She has a meter that increases her magic power over time, but weakens her defense. She can stop her defense weakening and thus her magic increasing by shielding.
Here are her special moves.
- NEUTRAL: She blasts a wave of magic at foes, knocking them back. Deals 4%.
- SIDE: Ono moves across the battlefield to the other side. It's a great teleporation technique.
- UP: Ono flies into the air and gains wings, then tries to go back to the battlefield. This technique is absolutely notorious to use and requires mashing the jump button repetitively.
- DOWN: Ono fires a mix of fire, electricity and ice, dealing one of three effects; burn; paralyze; and freeze. The moves deal 3%, 5%, and 2% respectively.
- AIR: Ono flies straight upward, then dives diagonally. Just like the Up move, the move is horrendous and requires precise aim. If she misses, she'll either bounce into the ground or dive straight into her doom. The dive does 16% if done correctly.
- GROUND: Ono dashes along the ground, doing 8% to those she smashes into.
- TRAP: Ono uses mana magic to blast away foes at 8%. Only works if a foe is extremely close.
- HYPERDRIVE: Ono goes into the air, looping, then dives straight at a foe. It's hard to aim but deals 58% if done right.
- Neutral: Ono wraps herself in mana logic, smiling.
- Up: Ono swings her ponytail around, laughing.
- Down: Ono becomes very angry and shows an out of control face and pose before going back to normal.
- Beta Ono: A skin that displays the "Non Stray-By-Me" design.
- Brown Skin: Makes her look like...something else. Fandro's way of looking at things is strange.
- Bronze Skin: A skin that makes Ono's body look shiny. To unlock, beat Fandro as Ono.
- Neptune Skin: A skin that gives Ono a much lighter blue color. To unlock, play three matches as Ono in a row without losing or quitting mid process.
- Mecha Skin: A skin that makes Ono look...mechanical. To unlock, defeat KrunchKake in SecurityStar as Ono.
- Braid Forme: Not sure what this is. Play twenty matches with Ono to unlock.
- Insanity: Gives Ono a more Satanish design. Use the Ono amiibo to unlock it.
Victory Poses
- Ono floats in the air gently, singing. If Fandro wasn't in the match, he'll chase Ono off screen.
- Ono loops in the air, before floating towards the screen with a kawaii look.
- Ono gossips with Fred, angering Fandro in the background. If Fandro participated, Fandro runs from his screen and chases Ono off her own screen.
Victory Theme:
Challenge Medals
|Objective Name
|Task Description
Character Usage Medal
Against Character Medal

The Boeing 727, named Big Flo, was purposely crashed into the Sonoran Desert in Mexico with a combination of £150,000 test dummies and sand bags acting as passengers
The aeroplane was flown by real pilots who parachuted out of it before it hit the ground.
The programme makers wanted to recreate a serious, but survivable, 'forced landing' to study the crashworthiness of the aircraft and the impact of crashes on the human body.
One of the state-of-the-art dummies was seated in the brace position, another had its seatbelt fastened and a third had no restraint at all.
Following the crash, the 'passengers' in seats at the front of the aircraft were found to be the least likely to survive.
Experts also found that the dummy in the brace position with its seat belt fastened would have survived the impact.
The second dummy, whose seatbelt was fastened but was not in the brace position, would have survived but suffered severe head injuries. The third unrestrained dummy would have died.
Using this, experts predicted that 78 per cent of passengers on board would have survived the impact, but that coming down nose-first, all the first-class travelers would have died because the front of the fuselage sheared off.
Those sitting at the back would have had the best chance of survival.
'It is safer to sit at the back of the aircraft where the flight recorder is. The front is more vulnerable because that often sees higher impact forces.

I just rooted my Sprint GS3 using this root kit, everything went fine, but my wi-fi wont' turn on. I read this at the top of this thread:
Q. I flashed the Toolkit Boot Image, now my wifi + bluetooth won't work
The boot images are made from Stock with only needed changes made to the insecure boot images [modified adbd, default.prop and rc.local edited] and will work on all stock roms. If you flash them to a custom rom and the rom has been altered or uses a custom boot image then it will boot but certain modules may not load such as wifi or bluetooth. In this case you can use the boot image to root or perform adb root functions but will need to flash back the boot image for the custom rom to get other functions working again. This is not a fault of the Toolkit but a difference to stock in the custom rom.
I am not on a custom rom, but the above paragraph is confusing to me. Does this mean I have to flash the stock rom over my current stock rom? Where do I find it? And won't I lose everything and have to reinstall? Can someone please help me get my wifi back?

001. NCANP states in "Welcome to www.ncanp.com":
"naturopathic medicine is a primary health care profession emphasizing prevention and treatment of disease with the use of natural non-toxic therapies. The naturopathic perspective views each person as a whole and recognizes the healing force within each individual. Natural therapies are used to support and stimulate that vital healing force. A naturopathic doctor addresses the underlying cause or imbalance within a person rather than simply treating one's problem symptomatically. Naturopathic therapies include clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, physical medicine and lifestyle counseling."
Note: the claim of "profession", and a specific & actual "healing force" aka "vital healing force." Yet, such a vital healing force does not exist, scientifically speaking, and treating disease is medicine, which is obligated to science.
002. naturopathy is quite an absurdity:
claiming as 'professions-level medical science' that which is actually as scientific as the Tooth Fairy.

* 2011 organic growth 5.7 pct, op margin 16 pct
* Dividend stable at 0.70 euros per share
* 2011 revenue 5.82 bln eur vs consensus 5.77 bln
* CEO says aims for stable op margin in 2012
By Leila Abboud
PARIS, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Advertising agency Publicis is confident about its prospects for 2012 despite the volatility of the global economy, which is causing some clients to delay spending decisions and others such as banks and car makers to reduce marketing efforts.
Chief Executive Maurice Levy said the group would aim to grow faster than the overall ad market this year, while keeping its operating margin stable.
"The year will be marked by uncertainty," he acknowledged, adding that Publicis' reach in emerging markets and digital advertising and its focus on cost controls would allow it to overcome the challenges.
Levy said the expected ad spending boost from a trio of upcoming events - the summer Olympics, European football championships and the U.S. presidential election - was likely to be muted by concerns elsewhere about global growth.
"Given that it is a so-called quadrennial year with all these events, the advertising sector should be having a really big year," he said. "Instead we'll probably end up with a good year."
Publicis, which is the world's biggest ad group by revenue and competes with WPP and Omnicom, posted full-year results ahead of expectations on Thursday with organic growth of 5.7 percent.
Annual revenue reached 5.82 billion euros ($7.71 billion), ahead of the average estimate of 5.77 billion according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Publicis slightly improved its 2011 operating margin to 16.0 percent from 15.8 percent a year earlier, largely by increasing revenue and limiting restructuring costs.
As the first major ad group to publish results, Publicis' figures and Levy's comments on what lies ahead for the world economy are likely to be scrutinised by investors.
With ad agency performance largely linked to the economic cycle, investors have been wary of the sector recently for fear that Europe's sovereign debt crisis and persistent unemployment in the United States and elsewhere would slow consumer spending.
The International Monetary Fund chopped its estimate for 2012 global growth to 3.3 percent from 4 percent just three months ago and warned it could drop as low as 1.3 percent if Europe lets the crisis fester for much longer.
But some advertising executives and market forecasters remain remarkably optimistic about 2012's growth prospects.
Havas CEO David Jones recently told Reuters that corporate executives he met with were more upbeat than gloomy economic forecasters and that the year could turn out better than many think.
For his part, Levy said January ad sales were good and that it was too soon to tell how demand would shape up for the rest of the year. He said he expected banks and auto makers to face weakness, while technology and telecoms companies spend heavily to position themselves in very competitive markets.
Market research group Zenith Optimedia, which is a unit of Publicis, has forecast 4.7 percent growth for the ad sector this year, up from 3.5 percent in 2011.
For Levy, the ongoing uncertainty meant Publicis must be prudent and agile.
For example, the group has frozen hiring again and is trying to keep a tight rein on personnel expenses, which tend to be high in an industry where top talent often defects to rivals.
While targeted acquisitions in digital and online ads were still on the table, Levy did not expect to splash out on mega-deals this year.
"I don't think we'll see consolidation among the top ad agencies this year; there is no reason for it," he said.
Such prudence, Levy says, will help Publicis keep its operating margin stable this year, after improving it in recent years.
"With the level of margins we've now attained, our goal will be to consolidate those gains, rather than expect further increases because we still want to invest in talent and technology," he added.
Publicis also chose not to increase its dividend for 2011 despite generating a higher net profit and free cash flow, keeping it at 0.70 euros per share.
"We want to be careful," said Levy.
He added that he expected the group's biggest shareholder, Dentsu, to decide in the first half of the year whether it wanted to sell its stake of around 11 percent.
Dentsu has a window starting in July 2012 during which it can sell some or all of the stake it owns or hold onto it.
Publicis has said that it would buy back and cancel the Japanese company's shares, which are worth about 850 million euros at current valuations.
Publicis shares fell about 10 percent in 2011, less than the media index overall, but its shares have recovered to rise 12 percent since the beginning of this year amid a broader market rally.
Publicis shares closed at 39.78 euros per share on Wednesday. ($1 = 0.7545 euros) (Additional reporting by Gwenaelle Barzic; Editing by James Regan)

Scribbling in the Sand
- reviewed by Russ Breimeier Copyright Christianity Today International
- 2002 1 Apr
He's had 20 albums and 19 #1 songs in a 20-year career as a recording artist — Michael Card truly is one of the most important Christian artists in the history of the genre. His inspirational folk/pop music is regarded by many to be among the "smartest" in Christian music, tackling deep theological matters head-on and expressing them with simplicity and poetry. The problem is, and some of you may disagree, I have a hard time going back to some of the classic Christian albums from 20 years ago because they sound so dated today. The solution to this in Michael's case is Scribbling in the Sand, an album recorded live in front of a small audience in Nashville last year that features 15 of his greatest hits and 2 songs that have never appeared on an album before now.
If you've ever seen the "Storytellers" series on VH-1,
Other favorite tracks include "Starkindler" (featuring a rousing fiddle performance for the Celtic-flavored song), "God's Own Fool," "The Basin and the Towel," and "Grace Be With You All" (from the
I kind of wish that Michael didn't have an introduction between each and every song on the album, or that he wouldn't have focused so much on introducing the guest musicians and mentioning how long he's known them, though that certainly plays well to Michael's theme of artistic community. It would have been nice if, like on "VH-1 Storytellers," he would have spent as much time explaining some of the songs — the songwriting process or the story behind them — as he did for "Underneath the Door." This album definitely will appeal to longtime fans, and it also serves as a good way to introduce newcomers to these songs. Michael's music translates best in this folksy, intimate environment, giving his songs a timeless sound. I'm also impressed by Michael's commitment to artistic excellence through musicianship and community.

"Missing you something awful and kicking myself for all the things we promised to do that we never got around to. I was just thinking of all of the ways you went above and beyond to show everyone in your life that they mattered. Just one more I love you would be great... I've said it to the air at least a million times hoping you could hear me. As hard as I try I'm still not me without you, but I'm still trying. I'm sure you'd be just as proud of my efforts now as ever, confidence is key, right darling? As much as I know you're in a better place, my heart still aches to have you here again; to see you with your guys again; to feel and see in action your love again.

"It's been five months since you passed and all of those days have been filled with me and the rest of the family reminiscing all the great memories we have had. I just regret the fact that we didn't spend longer with you...if I was there with you that day everything would have gone fine and things wouldn't have ended like this. To this day I still imagine that I am outside walking around with Dad at my side, doing the things we used to do. Everyone misses you Dad. Hopefully everything is better now..."
"hey son, i just wanted to say i miss u .u know i love you more than my life .if i could id trade places with you. your boys needed you so much in their teen years. we talk about when we are together ,i feel close to you when i have them .i love you son ,i miss you so much"
"Dad, you meant so much to me when you were with us and now that you're stronger and in a better place, nothing can hurt you. Your memory's will be forever past down from Cainan and me and all the Smith's to come. You understood me like no one else did and I know that you will always be watching over us. You will be there when we start to drive, when we have a family and when we die. Forever and ever will your heart and memory's last with us. I remember when you introduced me to Dubstep and you taught me how to play guitar. We used to sing together in the car while we drove around town. I remember when we drove around Bowdon on your scooter and i was so pumped to ride it. Now you'll be there when I sing and play in the school band and you'll be there when I eat lunch and hang with my friends. You are now closer to me then you ever were. I love you Dad...I miss you..."
"We still miss you, Joey. Hey, we could have all gone to Liz's house for a birthday cake today. Glad you're in a safe & happy place now."

text: USBC enhances equipment regulation Jason Overstreet March 2, 2012 A primary goal of the United States Bowling Congress as the sport's National Governing Body is to protect the integrity of the game and ensure that equipment performs correctly. USBC recently issued new specifications for ball marking designed to protect bowlers and pro shop operators from errors that can lead to incorrect drilling.High performance bowling balls have markings on the surface to indicate the weight block location inside the ball. The accuracy of these markings is important in determining how to drill the ball for proper performance.Effective January 31, 2012, USBC is requiring ball manufacturers to accurately mark the key axes on the ball that are used during the ball layout process by pro shop operators in order to receive USBC approval."Bowling balls that are marked accurately give the pro shop operator the best information possible to provide their customers with a ball that will perform as expected," USBC Managing Director, National Governing Body, Neil Stremmel said. "If a ball is not marked accurately, it may be drilled to produce an undesirable performance."The new specifications requires the low radius of gyration axis be within a one-inch radius of the center of the pin of the ball and provided a ball has an asymmetrical core, the high radius of gyration axis, or Preferred Spin Axis (PSA), must be within 1.5 inches of the center of a marking indicator on the surface of the ball."Part of our job at USBC is to protect our bowlers and industry partners such as pro shops," USBC Director of Equipment Specifications Herman Glenn said. "By standardizing ball markings it creates less confusion and promotes better customer satisfaction for the bowling industry."

|Size Matters: Submissions by the Numbers
0: This is the number of your submissions that should have single-word titles. According to many (if not most) of the editors, professors, and publishers I've spoken to, a single-word title suggests that the work is either a cliché piece or that the author wasn't familiar or confident enough in their own work to give the title more thought. Single-word titles are also considered "soap opera-ish" (think of the modern television shows with one-word titles: Scandal, Revenge, etc.).
1: This is both how many prose pieces a journal will consider at a time and approximately the maximum page length of each poem you should submit. Trying to submit more than one story, or poems that go to or beyond two pages, is tricky business. With each prose submission coming in at 2,500 – 5,000 words, it's hard enough to get an editor to consider one of your pieces … let alone three. While the number of poetry-only journals is on the rise, the number of poems being published in cross-genre journals continues to shrink; more and more often the number of prose pieces accepted becomes a consideration when it comes to poetry submissions, which means the longer your piece is (and the more pages it takes from potential prose work), the less likely it is to be published.
3: This is the minimum number of poems you should be submitting in your submission packet, unless otherwise noted (some journals set the limit lower, with the rare journal limiting you to one poem per submission). Less than this tends to suggest that you don't really have much in your "poetfolio" worth sharing … which can sometimes make an editor wonder why they should consider you at all.
5: This is the maximum number of previous publication credits to include in your cover letter. Oh yes, the length of your cover letter can also be a factor in how long a journal considers your work. And if you're including more than five previous publications in your list of accomplishments, some editors will start to think that a) you're overconfident in your awesomeness (while it may be well-earned confidence, it still comes off poorly) or b) you don't know when to shut up … which can give them a negative impression of your work before they even read a single word. This also tends to be the maximum number of poems you should submit in a submission packet, unless otherwise noted by a publisher.
6: This is often the number of months you should expect to wait before really worrying about your submission again. While this has little to do with the actual work you're sending out, here's a tip from the publishing industry: impatient authors are annoying. If you start querying after just a month of your work being on an editor's desk, you may irk him or her into associating your name on a submission with "I don't want to deal with him/her" … which may lead to a semi (or very)-biased rejection. If you query too much too often, that editor may reject you just to get you to leave her or him alone. Be happy if you hear back in two months. Feel free (in most cases) to query after three. You can begin to pester at six … but delicately.
10-15: No, we're not talking about a prison sentence … This is the approximately length a submission should not exceed in pages. For poetry, if your submission is going beyond 10 pages, you're pretty much excluding yourself from publication consideration when the hefty pile of pages hits the poetry editor's desk. Remember, three to five poems per submission, approximately one page per poem: if you're up to ten pages, either your poems are too long or you're submitting too much work. For prose, while many editors allow lengths between 2,500 – 5,000 words, the magic number tends to be around 3,500 words, or 15 pages double-spaced.
Your Turn: Have you noticed any "magic numbers" when it comes to the submission process? How many submissions does it usually take before you get your first acceptance? What's the biggest number of rejections you've received before or without an acceptance? Share your experiences with "submissions by the numbers" in the comments, and let other writers learn from your wisdom!

Play starts with B checking off the cone and demanding the ball from D. D plays a solid pass into B who creates space and opens up the body to receive the ball on the front foot, takes a touch and passes into E. E has a good first touch and dribbles the ball back to position D. All players follow their pass (D to B, B to E, E to D back of line). Alternate starting position of the pass to A who will play the ball into position B from the other side and the sequence continues, with Position B player (now E) passing the ball to the player at C, who dribbles the ball back to position A
Coaching Points

Can you take the ball in the driection of your next action (run/pass)
Can you use both feet to control the ball
Can you open up your body to see the whole picture
Can you encourage and communicate with your teammates.

Unanswered: How to Select All Records
I'm trying to add a line of code to select all records and I can't find a DoCmd for this. I see there is a show all records command.
I want to open a table, select all of the records and then delete all of the recors. I figured there would be a DoCmd that correlates to these same macro commands
Thanks in advance for any help.

There are a couple of ways to tackle this. If the intention is to delete all records from the table then delete them in one go. This code will accomplish this.
Private Sub DeleteWithSQL_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "DELETE tblTableName.* FROM tblTableName;"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
End Sub
Or you can delete the whole table.
Private Sub DeleteWithSQL_Click()
Dim tblTable As TableDef
For Each tblTable In CurrentDb.TableDefs
If tblTable.Name Like "*Colour" Then
DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, tblTable.Name
End If
End Sub
This will delete any table with the word Colour in it.
The choice is yours.

Select all records and delete
Below is the code I want to put this in right after the docmd transfertext line. I'm getting bits of code here and there and don't really know VB. I tired just copying it there but it didn't work.
Can you help?
The code is below (I am importing into a temporary table, I the run a couple find unmatched append queries and then want to select all of the records
Private Const mcsFileFilter As String = _
"Excel Files (*.xls)|*.xls|" & _
"All Files|*.*||"
Private Sub cmdCommonDialog_DE_Click()
txtImportFile_DE = CommonDialogClickGs(Me, mcsFileFilter)
End Sub
Private Sub cmdImport_Click()
On Error GoTo Proc_Err
Dim sStatusBarContents As String
' ---- Convert the excel files to CSV files and Import ----
' ---- Copy records into HMDA master table eliminates duplicates due to the primary key ----
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, "Lab Data Import Specifications", "tbl_temp", txtImportFile_DE, True
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("temp without matching records in results qry")
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("temp without matching records in samples qry")

#idazzledesires: Touchstone Jewelry Supports Breast Cancer Charities
Writing today's #idazzledesires made me a little emotional. Even in the spirit of jewelry that gives back or does good in some way, this company is exceptional. This is as personal as jewelry can get, with a singular body part forever immortalized in precious metal. And it helps people emotionally and physically get through diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.
Kathleen Domick, the founder of Touchstone Jewelry, is a breast cancer survivor. Kathleen–a jewelry designer for twenty years–first thought of molding people's fingerprints in metal when she was undergoing chemotherapy for Stage 3 breast cancer. She first cast the fingerprints of friends going through treatment for their family and friends to wear as a reminder that they were not alone on their journey. Now nine years after her diagnosis and a mom of two young children, the jewelry she creates helps other people going through treatment. Fifty percent of profits go towards services or treatments that may not be covered by insurance, like acupuncture, massage or even transportation to medical appointments.
The beautifully organic fingerprints are cast in silver or gold, and then artfully incorporated into jewelry as a pendant, ring, cuff links, bracelet or key chain. It captures the essence of someone, a moment in time, and serves as a tangible reminder that you wear close to you in your daily life.
So what is Kathleen's desire or wish this holiday season? "I hope to really savor this down time with my family."
I hope you get your wish, Kathleen! With a purchase of Touchstone Jewelry, you are literally Touching Lives. To find out how it works, click here. Visit their website at www.touchstonejewelry.org to read more or contact them. I highly recommend reading Kathleen's bio here.
