First Look: Jennifer Lawrence in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'
Director Bryan Singer just tweeted a pic of the star, who is seen posing in her revealing "Mystique" bodysuit and neon orange hair. Singer wrote, "First look: #JenniferLawrence as a vengeful #Mystique. #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast" alongside the sexy shot. J. Law is her reprising her Mystique role in the new X-Men film. She took over for Rebecca Romijn back in 2011 for the last installment, X-Men: First Class.
Lawrence has also been busy making the rounds in Cannes for the much-anticipated flick, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. We're looking forward to seeing the Hollywood darling do her thing in both of these huge upcoming movies.
One thing's for sure about Jennifer: she makes a very attractive mutant.

I might prefer at the moment to be hanging out shirtless with some buddies, (and I enjoyed some healthy touch from women this past weekend at an experiential workshop/retreat) but even when by myself, it's making a statement to myself and enjoying myself for who I am. Such a simple thing, but it means so much!
Harry. Thanks for sharing. You have a great body.
Same at my place, Tim.
At my gym I usually lift in a tank top or a home-made "cutoff"/sideless t-shirt. It's the next best thing to lifting shirtless as my gym requires tops to be worn when using the facilities.
I like to push ups and sit ups at home shirtless in my boxers. That does make me feel virile.

Maybe you guys could do a CodePlex project to add the code, have a blog, comments, version system, etc. It seems easier then other systems I have seen IMO. Can also hook up directly to Visual Studio and/or github if that is what you use.

I do have one question though.If an esc BEC puts out 4.8 volts to the receiver wouldn't that be transferred to the stabilizer through the inputs?If so wouldn't that overpower the gyros?

it's unclear if the chip is still okay, bricked or burnt
which programming tool are you using? avrdude or extremeburner?
have you tried disconnecting all the servos from the rx3s?
also, try extremeburner. occasionally, i'll get a chip id not found or similar error, trying again usually works for me.
good luck!

you'll see a web page of the hex file contents.
right click on the "Raw" button on the right and choose "save as". the saved file should be the one that the programmer can accept..
edit: i just read johnrb stated the same thing. thanks!

i think the programmer can be a little flaky sometimes. just try again.
thanks for testing out the process. right now, i think it's still not ready for flight testing yet so it's best to keep to ground tests (ie. function modes, servo response, tx control, 10ms/20ms frame update, etc).
i'm still working on a bunch of performance improvements and then later more feature improvements..

ah, i've never heard of codeplex till now.
i wanted to learn git, so i chose github. i also don't use the microsoft development environment. so, sorry
github with git seems to have a nice source code control system as well. all my checks have been tracked at the github site if you are interested: https://github.com/noobee/FlightStab/commits/master
github's documentation system is not so good (using some kind of wiki-like markdown system). still trying to grapple with that..

an update:
argh.. doh!
the builds process is very manual and i have to specify target boards, change #defines, copy and rename files for several combinations.
so, i may have generated the hex files targeted for my development board (arduino nano atmega328p). in this case, if you flashed a bad image, it would look like a dead (or bricked) board after that. fortunately, you can simply reflash with a working image and all will be well again.
so, just in case, i've rebuilt the images again and checked them in. please use the latest ones in
- RX3S_V1_20130112.hex
- RX3S_V2_20130112.hex

edit: thank goodness for source code version control. i've rolled back the change to set the i2c bus speed from 100khz to 400khz. tested on my nano/mpu6050 board and an rx3s_v2 board. for some reason, 400khz is breaking on my mpu6050 board, but i'm not sure about the rx3s boards. in any case, rolling the speed back to be safe.
both boards are working now, the repository should be green.
argh, again.
i seem to have broken something along the way (likely i2c/gyro access).
so please do not use the 20130112 images at this time..
thanks and apologies!

Where can I find how to connect v1 to programmer and how to correclty set parameters in extremburner to do flashing?
(also, on extreburner page there is a possibility to upgrade usb-programmer(from HK) - but dont' know hot to do this either)
|Jan 13, 2013, 07:05 AM
USB programmer, warning!
the 6pin ISP connector goes to the pins marked ISP with the nose pointing to rudder input connector. ithe fit is a little tight and is bending the rudder input 5V pin a little.
****programmer question/warning! ****
since I bricked my V1, could that be because the programmer uses 5V on the data pins and the chip runs only on 3.3V? according to the data sheet the max voltage for miso/mosi/sck is Vcc+0.5V? any atmel guru around to confirm my suspicion?
I used this HK USBasp: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...occessors.html
|Jan 13, 2013, 07:20 AM
eXtreme burner settings
to use the HK programmer you should select settings->programming mode->ISP.
2) don't know why you need to update the programmer firmware? in order to do this you need a second programmer as master and connect the 2 with the 10pin cable. on the target USBasp you need to short the jumper pad next to R8. this will connect the RST pin with the reset pin on the atmega and makes it a programming target. I must admit that I have not done that myself but this is how I programmed my selfmade programmer (which is a USBasp clone). firmware is available from here: http://www.fischl.de/usbasp/

When you were programming, how was the AVR powered? If it was with 5v through the ASP - that's fine. It you applied power through the regulator so VCC was 3.3V - then you're in uncharted territory.
I'm not sure if the ISP +5V goes direct to the VCC pin as I would expect it to, or feeds the reg. If it goes through the reg, that's just asking for problems, exactly as you described.

I have flashed a 3.3V atmega (openlrs) many times with usbasp device, the 5V jumper removed from the usbasp. No problems yet.
One important thing is to put that connector in the right place with the correct orientation, and NOT mess with the fuses.

We manage over 200 nature reserves across the UK and these support a diverse range of wildlife and habitats.
In fact, we've now recorded over 13,300 species on our reserves – about a quarter of the UK's total complement of terrestrial species. Of these, only about 3 per cent are birds! And with public access to 184 reserves, we bring people close to nature and this vast array of species.
We bought our first reserve in 1930 and since then we've built up a wealth of expertise in habitat creation and management. We're still trialling new methods, but we're putting this expertise into practice to make our reserves even better for wildlife and people.
We report on our achievements each year in the Reserves Review. You can download the latest copy and back copies from this page.
The 2011 review looks back at work carried out during 2010. It considers the role our reserves can play in halting biodiversity loss, with sections on saving nature, restoring lost habitats, providing wildlife experiences for people, benefiting the environment and supporting partners round the world.

Uh – Oh!
The last couple of days have started to feel like fall!
I'm not ready.
I've woken up yesterday and today huddled under our down comforter (no quilt there, yet) with that cool crisp air that reminds me that it will be cold before I know it. I was just telling you how hot it was here, and now all the sudden I have to rummage through the closets looking for pants that fit all the kiddos. My girls are probably fine, but Owen doesn't have the same hand-me-down ability as they do :)
Oh well! It will most likely be hot again next week, but the nights will continue to be cold. So I need to begin to prepare myself now. This is my favorite picture of all 4 kids outside last winter. They were sitting … Read More »
I'm Truly Honored!
Well Marrdy just made my Friday! I was already having a good day too :) It's quite a bit cooler out and no rain this week, so we packed up and spent an hour or so at the park. Everyone is happy and tuckered out! But Marrdy a fellow Utah blogger has given me this award! This is my first :) I'm so glad that you enjoy reading Marrdy and I hope you do give quilting a try – I really enjoy it!Oh! and as Marrdy is local she's picked up on my name, Park City is actually just up the hill from where we live. I started using the name parkcitygirl as a sign in and it has stuck! We are up there all the time and feel more connected … Read More »
Nine Years
Today is our wedding anniversary! Nine years ago today, Joe and I were married :) We were both relieved that we were actually married, the weeks leading up to it were hectic and fun. I thought that in honor of our day I would share 9 things about US. . . 1 – We met while on a three week missions trip with our school. I had just finished my Junior year and Joe his Freshman.
2 – We didn't really get along, or even like each other at first, but married just a year later!
3 – We are both the oldest child in our families, which played out in #2, and we have our moments day to day where it is obvious. :)
4- We wrote letters for three months and got to know one another, … Read More »
Another Project
I was recently searching for local shops online and found Elaine's Quilt Block. While on their site I discovered quilt kits for cancer patients. I managed to get to Salt Lake and pick one up! It is complete with pattern and backing fabric – should be no trouble at all :) And it is Funky Monkey fabric! Really cute – needless to say I am excited to work on this project :)
Tiny Bits
Here's the mess that I have created for myself! Tons of tiny hourglass blocks :) I really have had fun working with them, there's just lots to work with. And here's the layout:I had considered making it random, but with only 4 different blocks, it wouldn't end up very random. And I am a concrete sequential and random is hard for me! I believe I have enough to make a baby quilt 36″ square. And then I can send it off to a friend with a new baby :)
Happy Tuesday -Amy
Work In Progress :)
I have spent a good chunk of time yesterday and today pinning. Pinning while watching the Olympics! Good clean fun – now I just need to peel myself away from the tube and get to the sewing machine.There's about 150 sets awaiting sewing – I like to keep everything at the same stage of "production." I guess it brings a bit of continuity to a project for me :)
Have a good evening and thanks for your encouragement yesterday!Amy
This week I've just felt – off. No real explanation, just off. My sewing machine was put away for a whole week! That could have something to do with it. . . but more of me thinks it has to do with life circumstances and changes. School is around the corner here (19th) and the summer seems to have flown by! So much that I wanted to do with the kids but haven't done, for one ($) reason or another. I have also felt a bit isolated lately, since January I haven't really had many mom type friends here locally to share life with. My family is my life, I cherish each waking (and sleeping,) moment, wanting to enjoy this time in our lives. I'm not really sure where I'm going with … Read More »
Jenna spent the day here again – and managed to finish her quilt top! Doesn't it look great?!I have been off my computer the last couple of days so I need to go catch up in bloglines and see what you all have been up to -See you soon!Amy
I've Been Baking!
My Joe turns 30 tomorrow! Yes I am about 1 year older than he – this has been the source of tons of jokes. The day that I turned 25, I was over the hump and nearly 30! When I finally turned 30 it wasn't a big deal :) Now it's his turn! We celebrated last night with some family and friends, and we are doing it again tomorrow! Schedules! Deep down I'm really glad to celebrate his birthday twice – it is such a special day why not spread it out a bit. Plus it is more reasons to bake!For the crowd last night Joe requested lasagna. I have an incredible spaghetti sauce that is a staple through winter, but rarely make lasagna – it's a lot of work! … Read More »
First off – Hello to all of you who have visited via Quilting Bloggers! I will have to go check out more of your blogs :)
I kept two baggies full of tiny triangles from when Jenna was cutting the corners off of her snowballs. I just couldn't watch all those beautiful scraps go to waste! So now I have put together a couple of blocks so I can hopefully decide where to go next with them.
Did I mention how tiny they are? These completed blocks are 3″ and 2 1/2″ – almost square! Right now I am leaning toward the hourglass. For a couple of reasons, less room for trouble, and I really like the pattern they create when put together. I've been wanting to do an hourglass anyway but I really wanted … Read More »
Quilting with Company
I have so enjoyed sharing my quilting projects here – but the last 24 hours Jenna has been over working on her very own quilt. I have to say having someone to chat with and share quilting info with has been a blast! And today she is super excited about her progress :) She told me earlier – "I knew it would eventually become something, but I never thought it would look so good!"Jenna goes back to school later this month and has been working full-time, I was starting to get concerned that we would have enough time together for her to finish. But my faith is renewed in Jenna! She stayed up past 2 last night ironing all those corners down. We got the pattern laid out while Owen was napping this morning … Read More »
Star Blocks and a Pin Cushion!
I cut out the same night I posted my first star block these three. I have been working on them as able since and I'm excited to show you :) I've been using little scraps from my bin so they are all different and fun. My girls have been asking for place mats so I may just add more to the sides and then quilt them for the girlies. . . have to wait and see!I found this pin cushion via another blogger – Darlene at Quilting Daze, recently asked for help making one and I decided I needed one too! Here's the tutorial we used – sweet and simple – my favorite quick project.Thanks for stopping by!Amy

Throughout the eight-week summer session, the School of Nashville Ballet offers a variety of dance classes for people of all skill levels. Experience is not necessary for the classes, which are all taught by professional instructors. Dance styles covered in classes include jazz dance, hip-hop, contemporary, or tap. The modern and fusion Pilates fitness-dance classes are open for all who wish to get in shape and groove at the same time, while ballet-minded individuals can choose from several options. The intro-to-ballet class teaches the basics, and intermediate and advanced ballet classes help students hone their skills and master tricky maneuvers. Beginners are encouraged to attend classes early in the session, as instruction will progress throughout the season. Check the schedule and call the School of Nashville Ballet for specific information on class availability.
Dance Theatre of Tennessee trains students in the art of dance and dazzles audiences with world-class performances. "Swan Lake – At 75: A Tribute to Elaine Thomas" honors Dance Theatre of Tennessee's artistic director, who has served as coach, choreographer, and ballet mistress to prominent companies around the world. Audiences aim their eyes at the stage as guest artists from Ballet West, Pennsylvania Ballet, Texas Ballet Theater, and The Australian Ballet celebrate Elaine's career with accolades and ritual burnings of DDR games. The tribute culminates in a spectacular staging of act 2 of Tchaikovsky's classic ballet, Swan Lake.
The fleet-footed instructors of National Dance Clubs shepherd students of all skill levels through a variety of dance styles and techniques. Aspiring hip-swivelers can acquire the moves necessary to woo passersby into impromptu swing sessions with an introductory dance package, which includes two private 50-minute lessons to get the dance ball rhythmically rolling. Solo dancers—who will be paired with an instructor—and cha-chaing couples take to the 2,000-square-foot dance floor, learning the steps, dips, and secret handshakes of American, international, and social dance disciplines, including bolero, fox trot, rumba, waltz, and tango.
Accompanied by the euphonic flourishes of the Nashville Symphony, the talented Nashville Opera cast delivers Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata, the third most popular opera in the world, with twittering uvulas, booming voices, and grand gestures. During the 2.75-hour performance, rib cages expand to illustrate a heartfelt portrait of a courtesan forced to give up the man of her dreams and the saint bernard puppy she bought in college. Like a drunken pizza order, the opera is sung in Italian with projected English translations. Both performances occur in the Andrew Jackson Hall of the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, a venue with a 2,474-person capacity.
We are an improv comedy group, dedicated to performing quality shows that anyone can enjoy, as well as training new comedic talent in the greater Nashville area.
Old-fashioned singing is the iPod dock of the lungs, but unfortunately, some lungs are silenced by shyness. Today's deal gives your budding American Idol a musical education worthy of their city. For $25, you will get an hour of one-on-one voice lessons at Music Row's Kristin K. Smith Voice Studio (a $65 value). You can buy up to three Groupons per person, but you'll have to use them on consecutive weeks.Follow @Groupon_Says on Twitter.
