File this under the "just came across my desk" heading. This states many of the reasons the Robinson R22 is the best helicopter trainer in the world, and why we use the Robinson R22 helicopter at our Boston helicopter flight school. This was printed for a Canadian school, but sums up the R22.
Everyone that starts their training will hear the arguments for the ageless "Schweizer vs. Robinson" debate. It's really not true that one is better than the other. They each have distinct advantages. BUT – when you sum up the pros of each model, the R22 does have a much longer list than the Schweizer. From the viewpoint of the flight school AND the student. I've owned a Schweizer school (glad I don't anymore), and I've started a Robinson school. Would I do the Robinson school again? Absolutely. The Schweizer helicopter school? Probably not (and not just because of my former partner). But that is beside the point. Read the article below and see what you think.
"At Heli-College Canada Training Inc. we have carefully chosen the Robinson R22 Beta as our primary training aircraft. Let me explain how we made this choice. First, I will have to back up a bit.
In a recent market survey of senior management and industry pilots, it was noted that many of these pilots, had themselves trained on the classic Bell 47 Series helicopters 20 to 30 years ago. However, in reviewing this survey, I observed three rather interesting trends …
1. When asked to recommend a training aircraft to a potential student pilot, many industry pilots were tending to suggest the same machine that worked for them — 30 years ago!
2. When asked what light turbine aircraft they use in their operation today, the reply was generally "Bell 206B, MD500D or Astar".
3. When asked why they didn't use the older Bell 206A or the "straight 500″ any more, the invariable reply was, "The newer ships are better, of course! They're faster, safer, more economical to operate, and often cheaper to maintain!"
Do you detect an inconsistency here? I do. I understand, however, why many of these pilots might feel this way.
I too, originally trained on the 47 — there were no Robinsons back then! When I was first asked to consider the idea of using the Robinson as a trainer, I resisted. I hadn't even flown the aircraft myself, so I really couldn't compare it. With over 4500 hours on type, I was happy to stay with the familiar Bell 47. Despite my resistance, the school for which I was working at the time, operated both types of aircraft. This reluctantly gave me the opportunity to fly the Robinson R22. I had the chance to make a fair comparison. Guess what? The Robinson won!
My experience has been, that when a high time pilot (or a low time pilot for that matter) flies the Robinson R22 for the first time, they are favourably impressed with the handling characteristics of the aircraft. In fact, enough of our clients were impressed, that we eventually decided to drop the 47 altogether from our training fleet. You see, most of them wanted to fly the Robinson.
In much the same way as the Bell 206, Hughes 500, and ASTAR have replaced the Bell 47s and Hiller 12Es in the commercial market, — the Robinson R22 has, for the most part, replaced the other piston engined helicopters in the training market. In short, … The newer ships are better for training too!
To put it very simply — the Robinson R22 is a low cost, efficient, safe, comfortable, modern, and low maintenance training helicopter.
Here are some specific reasons why we like the machine.
The R22 is a low cost training aircraft.
If price were not a consideration, I would probably suggest that the more turbine time a pilot can get, the better. This is because the turbine helicopter is the machine of choice in the commercial market. The reality is, however, that cost is a very important consideration to most prospective pilots nowadays. Therefore, 99% decide to train on a piston engined aircraft, primarily because of the lower cost. All piston helicopters cost around the same to operate, give or take a few dollars. Therefore, there is little price advantage to recommend one, over the others. There are several significant performance differences, however.
The R22 is the "Greenest" of the Light Piston Training Helicopters.
The R22's Lycoming 320 cubic inch engine is more fuel efficient than its larger and heavier competitors. Burning an average of only 6.5 to 7.5 gallons of fuel per hour gives the R22 a specific air range of 2.38 miles/pound. This is at least twice as good as some of the other piston training helicopters in use, and is even better than some cars on the road are getting! In today's environment of unpredictable fuel surcharges, a lower fuel consumption is a good thing to see in any vehicle. Naturally, less fuel burned means fewer CO2 emissions. The smaller engine and a modern efficient blade design make for a smaller noise footprint as well. This makes it easier for us to "fly neighbourly", minimize noise complaints, and integrate our operations into the local community.
The R22 is an efficient training aircraft.
If you can't afford to train on a turbine, at least train on the machine that flies most like a turbine.
We call the R22 the "mini 206″. It feels like a small Bell 206 in flight. The R22 has no stabilizer bar, and therefore has the same lateral instability as the 206. It also has an efficient throttle governor like the 206. Once the student pilot masters the manual operation of the throttle (in case the governor ever fails during flight), then turning on the governor, results in spare mental capacity being freed up to attend to more important flight requirements than throttle-twisting. As a result of these similarities, the transition time from the R22 to the 206 is much shorter. Many of our R22 trained students have been able to pick up the 206, hold it steady, and fly it away on the first try, with little or no assistance from their instructor.
Also worth mentioning is the fact that the R22 makes a logical training platform for a transition up to the R44 aircraft. More and more R44s (the larger 4 place Robinson aircraft) are being flown commercially around the world, and their operators will naturally tend to favour hiring those pilots that have trained in the smaller, yet aerodynamically similar, R22.
As I implied a few paragraphs earlier, this ease of transition works equally well the other way around. I have flown with hundreds of high time 206, 500, 212, S61, and S76 pilots and none of them had any problems transitioning "down" to the R22. Even if they had never flown a piston aircraft before, they made a comfortable transition in usually less than 2 hours flight time. At less than half the cost of the 206, the R22 endorsement pays for itself during the first 2 hours of any advanced training, such as an IFR course.
The R22 is 20% to 50% faster in the cruise than its other piston competitors. This reduces the ferry time to the mountains and other practise areas. The result is, that a greater proportion of the student's precious 100 hours training time, will be spent on the more practical exercises.
The R22 IFR trainer has a proper instrument panel, including HSI and RMI in a standard ICAO layout. If a student pilot has to do the mandatory 5 hours of instrument flying anyway, they might as well use an aircraft that is properly equipped.
The R22 is a safe training aircraft.
Because of its greater reliability, the R22 is now being recognized as the safest light helicopter of them all, if it is flown by a well trained pilot who demonstrates good judgment. A recent NTSB accident review showed that the Bell 206 had mechanical failure or engine failure listed as the cause of an accident 20% of the time. In comparison, the Robinson R22 showed a figure of only 5%. Some uninformed pilots may have misled you. The fact is, the most recent safety figures show that, with all the current improvements incorporated, the R22 now has the fewest accidents per hour flown compared with any of the other common piston training aircraft types. Of course, it is also important that you choose a reputable, experienced, and disciplined training operation to ensure a safe overall training environment. Start with a safe aircraft. It is a good first step.
In order to reduce the likelihood of mechanical damage to the aircraft and further increase flight safety to the occupants, a number of improvements have been made to the R22 in recent years. In addition to the throttle governor, (which has virtually eliminated problems associated with overspeeds) — other modern design features such as temperature and metal chip detection caution warning lights, low RPM warning horns, elastomeric bearings, stainless steel blades, full-flow oil filtration, rotor brake, and starter lock-out systems are now standard equipment on production R22s.
The manufacturer is constantly improving the safety and efficiency of the aircraft because the R22 is still in active production. In fact, as of April 2009, over 4430 R22s (and 4865 R44s) are now in service, making it the largest production run of any type of helicopter. The helicopter is usually returned to the factory for a teardown, major overhaul and upgrade every 2200 hours of operation. During this process, the latest upgrades and safety modifications are installed. This means, at our particular school, that we are always flying aircraft that are effectively no more than 3 years old.
More available power will result in an improved margin of safety during training operations and a smoother transition to the turbine later in your career. In the R22 Beta model, full power is available up to 5200 feet. The R22 engine (the reliable Lycoming O-320) produces almost 30 horsepower more than is normally required during standard flight maneuvers. This results in three additional benefits that affect aircraft safety and reliability. First of all, since the engine is de-rated, it is not having to work so hard during normal operations, and therefore is more likely to continue through its service life without any premature failures. Secondly, as in all turbine aircraft, the pilot must learn to remain constantly aware of how much power is being used at any one time, and is responsible for physically limiting that power to avoid exceeding the transmission limitations of the aircraft. And thirdly (despite the limitations mentioned above), at sea level, an additional 21% emergency power is available to the pilot, if necessary, to modify a flight path that might have otherwise resulted in a potential accident.
Again, — a better training path to the turbine, and increased safety margins. Both good things to have in a training aircraft.
If you can carry out a good autorotation in an R22, you can do one in any aircraft. Due to the lower inertia rotor system, a high degree of skill is required to carry one out effectively. Although the newer R22s have stainless steel, tip-weighted main rotor blades, that perform much better than the original design, the R22 is still more demanding in the timing during autorotation when compared with most other helicopters. We feel though, that this is a good characteristic to have in a training machine. Autorotations are one of the most important exercises to master during flight training. They can only become easier when the pilot eventually transitions to a machine with even higher blade inertia. This is the way you want it to be!
The R22 is a comfortable training aircraft.
Safety and student progress improve when the pilot is more comfortable flying the aircraft. The R22 teetering cyclic control that many of you out there have expressed concern about, is really not a problem. It simply allows the pilot to position the cyclic where it is most comfortable for them to use – not the pre-selected spot that one of those old-school designers (those guys with the really long arms?) thought would work for the "average" pilot. The dual heater outlet design ensures that both the student pilot and the instructor have equal environmental control in the cockpit, and that the windscreen remains effectively de-fogged on both sides. At Heli-College Canada, we have installed leather seats in all our aircraft. Not because it is cool to have leather, but because they hold up better over time and are more comfortable on longer flights. These may seem like small items at first, however it has been proven that a pilot will fatigue more rapidly, and be more susceptible to errors, if they are not comfortable in the cockpit..
The R22 is a modern training aircraft.
In addition to the obvious safety benefits mentioned above, as a newer, modern machine, the R22 also looks nice! And the student pilot is more motivated to keep it looking that way. Our students regularly wash and wax the machines. They don't do this because they are told they have to. They offer to do it, in order to have a clean and shiny aircraft that they can be proud of. In actual fact, this particular "pilot" skill may be of more benefit to them than they think. I know of several pilots who recall that their first "flying" job, consisted of washing and waxing the fleet. Many of the prospective employers I have spoken to agree that it is often not flying skill, that gets a pilot their first job, but attitude.
The R22 is a low maintenance training aircraft.
The R22 checks out OK on the maintenance front too. Its maintenance downtime is low, mainly due to the complete factory "remanufacturing" that takes place every 2200 hours. The machines are literally put back on the assembly line and come out looking, and feeling new after major overhaul. The TBO times are set so that the main components all come due during the rebuild. In my experience, the R22 is "online" more often than its piston competitors. Since this reduces interruptions in the training schedule, everyone wins on this point.
What a great essay!

June 30 (Bloomberg) -- Emerging-market stocks rose for a third day, sending the benchmark index to a three-week high, as concern of a Greek default eased and investors speculated the global economic expansion is intact.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index climbed 1 percent to 1,143.68 at 12:01 p.m. in London, paring its second-quarter decline to 2.3 percent. China's CSI 300 Index advanced 1.5 percent as BYD Co., the automaker part-owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., jumped 41 percent on its trading debut in Shenzhen. The South Korean won strengthened 0.9 percent against the dollar to lead gains in emerging-market currencies.
The MSCI gauge pared its June decline to 2.1 percent after Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou won enough votes yesterday to pass the first part of an austerity plan aimed at meeting European Union aid requirements. South Korea's industrial production rebounded from a seven-month low in May, topping economists' estimates as chip, machinery and car makers boosted output on global demand.
"Risk-taking is starting again, people are focusing on bargain-hunting as stocks have pulled back pretty dramatically in the last month," said Geoffrey Ng, who manages $1 billion as chief executive officer at HLG Asset Management Sdn. in Kuala Lumpur. "Emerging markets and Asia really stand out in terms of growth prospects."
Korean Output
All of the MSCI index's 10 industry groups gained, led by consumer, financial and industrial companies. LG Electronics Inc., the world's third-biggest mobile-phone maker which gets about 16 percent of sales from Europe, added 0.7 percent in Seoul trading. Acer Inc., which generated about 39 percent of its sales from Europe last year, jumped 1.8 percent in Taipei.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index has dropped 0.7 percent this year, compared with a 3.1 percent gain in the MSCI World Index of developed-country stocks.
The Czech PX Index rose 0.4 percent. Hungary's BUX index fell 0.2 percent and Poland's WIG20 Index slid 0.3 percent.
Greece's Papandreou yesterday secured a vote in favor of an austerity plan that clears the way for the next payment due from last year's bailout. He faces a final vote today to stave off default.
South Korean industrial output climbed 8.3 percent in May from a year earlier after gaining a revised 6.9 percent in April, Statistics Korea said today. The median estimate of 12 economists in a Bloomberg News survey was for a 6.9 percent increase.
BYD Surges
Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd., the nation's largest planemaker, surged 43 percent on its trading debut after raising about $530 million in the nation's largest initial public offering this year.
The Shanghai Composite Index pared its quarterly loss to 5.7 percent. BYD raised 1.35 billion yuan ($208 million) in a share sale in Shenzhen, China, to fund research and expand its manufacturing facilities.
Turkey's lira weakened 0.2 percent after the country's trade deficit more than doubled in May from a year earlier, exceeding economists' forecasts. The deficit was $10.1 billion, the biggest on record, compared with $4.9 billion a year earlier, the statistics office in Ankara said today.
The extra yield investors demand to own emerging-market debt over U.S. Treasuries dropped one basis points, or 0.01 percentage point, to 298, according to according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s EMBI Global Index. The Markit iTraxx SOVX CEEMEA Index of credit-default swaps for emerging Europe, the Middle East and Africa fell two basis points to 198, according to data provider CMA in London.

I suspect soon everything will cost us tokens, it's just EP's way of charging via the back door!
Personally, I think they are extracting the urine! I think they want us to pay, but they don't have the gonads required to say so!
You have sent me a lot of gifts, and I appriciate them very much. The best gifts however are still free, they are just a few words of encouragment, that you give so well. Thankyou

Non scale victory
Had to have my wedding ring resized! Took it to the jeweler and asked that he go just under the current size since I was still losing my last 10... he said it was a Bold move (that gave me a warm fuzzy :D) Got it back the other day and it could even stand to have more .. guess I will wait for goal before I do more...
I wish those kind of moments on every one working hard at their goal!!
I'm hoping the ring my father gave me back in 4th grade will be able to fit on my ring finger a little better once I get back to my previous weight. It used to fit on my pointer finger. He got my mom's ring size and got me the same so I could grow into it...pretty awesome.
I love "non scale victories."
I need to get mine resized too. How much did it cost?
Yea for you!! :)
I went to a local jeweler and for 2 of my rings it was $36.... I know it cost alot more to make them bigger so I wont be doing that again !! :high5:
Congrats! What a great feeling :clap:
I had to stop wearing my wedding rings because they kept falling off! I was afraid I'd lose them, and since I still have a ways to go I don't want to get them sized yet.
you could put them on a necklace, good reminder every day of your goal? Your just about half way there, thats not to far off!!! :hugs:
Thats a great idea Minimomma. I put them away and put on an old ring, one that I wont be upset if I end up losing it. My finger just feels naked without something on it lol :hyst:

While the new 6.2-liter engine doesn't feel significantly faster than the 5.4-liter V-8 in the Ford F-150 Raptor, it offers a substantial improvement in drivability. Specifically, the six-speed transmission is much more confident in selecting cogs and accelerating from the current gear. The result is less frenetic and less frequent shifting. Whether that's worth the $3000 premium is debatable, but I imagine buyers won't have to make that decision for long. The 5.4-liter is likely to make an exit as it's squeezed by the turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 from below and the 6.2-liter V-8 from above. On most paved roads, the Raptor rides comfortably. However, hitting a transverse bump while in a turn causes the rear end to shimmy and squirm. The loft-like ride height is also a reminder that the Raptor is more than just an image-builder. It's a bona fide off-roader, complete with the requisite compromises.

Eight years ago, Hurricane Katrina took many things away from former Louisiana resident Doug Frederick: his home, his security and most of his personal belongings.

After a quick skim of the abstract mentioned in the article below, the 4sigma level of the event requires much more testing, but it is a bump above background. The only thing that I know is that every time a new leap forward is made in the ability to detect, there's always another layer hidden beneath the one uncovered.

Statoil Sanctions The Julia Field Development In The Gulf Of Mexico
HOUSTON, May 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Statoil and operator Exxon Mobil have decided to sanction the Julia field development in the Gulf of Mexico. The field, located approximately 200 miles south of New Orleans, Louisiana, was discovered in 2007 and is estimated to have nearly six billion barrels of resource in place.
Today's announcement confirms the agreement between operator Exxon Mobil Corporation and Statoil to proceed with field development, estimated to take approximately three years. The partners each own 50 percent of the field.
Julia will be a subsea tieback to the Jack and St. Malo floating production platform, located approximately 15 miles away, which is operated by Chevron U.S.A. Inc.
Statoil also is a co-owner in the Jack and St. Malo developments, sanctioned in 2010."We are very pleased to move ahead with the first phase of this important development," said Jason Nye, senior vice president, Statoil U.S. Offshore. "The Julia field is a strong addition to our growing portfolio in the Gulf of Mexico. Julia has a substantial long-term production potential which is expected to be fully realized through the application of technology to unlock its full potential." Drilling operations are planned to start in 2014, and production start-up is planned for 2016. The lifetime of the Julia field is estimated to be up to 40 years, with an initial production rate of up to 34,000 barrels of oil per day. Facts about the Julia field:
- Discovered in 2007.
- The total reservoir is estimated to contain nearly six billion barrels of resource in place.
- Investment decision in April 2013, production start-up in 2016.

Middle East and Latin America immune to cargo slump
Despite weak cargo numbers all around, July freight volumes grew significantly for Middle East and Latin American carriers, International Air Transport Association data revealed. Rising a respective 8.4 percent and 8.2 percent, these numbers deviate greatly from the 0.4-percent freight decrease reported throughout the industry.
Asia-Pacific airlines posted the biggest losses in July. Cargo volumes for these carriers fell 3.6 percent from 2010, driven largely by the residual effects of March's tsunami and earthquake in Japan. The "general economic gloom" also contributed to this decline, an IATA spokesman asserted.
Although international airfreight markets outperformed domestic sectors in July, the difference was marginal. Improving one percentage point from the beginning of the year, global cargo volumes were only 3-percent higher than pre-recession levels; they also plummeted 5 percent from their early-2010 peak.
July airfreight volumes weren't the only areas of concern, however. Freight load factor also fell significantly in July, dropping to the pre-recession level of 45 percent. IATA officials blame this phenomenon on increased capacity and reduced demand. Nevertheless, Asia-Pacific carriers did slightly better than their global counterparts, reporting load factor levels of 58.1 percent.
The issue is multifaceted, IATA officials explained. "While the [Asia-Pacific] suffers from a major imbalance with strong outward flows of manufactured goods and weak inbound traffic, the scale of their home carrier operations allows for better capacity utilization," they said. Still, July load factor for Asia-Pacific freight carriers was markedly lower than in 2010, decreasing 2.1 percent year over year.
The August tonnage results for Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited back up IATA's data. Last month, Hactl handled 221,375 tonnes of freight, a year-over-year decline of 9.3 percent. Tonnage for the first eight months of 2011 is 5.6 percent lower than last year.
Breaking down overall tonnage, both imports and exports experienced a decline in August, leading to negative growth of 8.9 percent and 13.3 percent, respectively. Transshipment, however, increased 1.7 percent during the month when compared to August 2010.
Unfortunately, the rest of 2011 doesn't look promising for carriers outside the Middle East and Latin America. In fact, IATA Director General Tony Tyler envisions the situation getting worse before it improves. "With business and consumer confidence now tanking, sluggishness in international trade and high fuel prices, the expectation is for a weaker end to the year," Tyler said in a statement.
Passenger declines haven't yet caught up with freight losses, however. Global passenger traffic actually grew 5.9 percent from July 2010.

Analysis: Fears that the Taliban are about to overrun Pakistan's seat of power seem unfounded.
NEW YORK — A bronze statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi stands in Washington Square Park, recognizing the 19th-century Italian war hero who assembled the first recruits for his Red Shirts militia here in New York City.
The fighters, known for their matching flannel outfits, traveled to Italy by sea to help Garibaldi fight in the Italian unification wars that led to the creation of the modern European nation state.
The Red Shirts became the inspiration for Mussolini's Black Shirts and Hitler's Brown Shirts, the armed groups that muscled the fascist political parties to power in a warring Europe decades later.
While the Taliban in Pakistan prefer the traditional shalwar-kameez to flannel and don't bother much with matching outfits, they do bear some resemblance to the armed bands that brought revolutionary change in Europe in the past century.
I flew back to New York last month after a six-month reporting tour in Pakistan. During my time in the Islamic republic I covered more than a few major-league fiascoes — the attacks in Mumbai that ignited an international political crisis in nuclear South Asia; the march by hundreds of thousands of lawyers and political activists on the capital while threatening to overthrow the government; the day that terrorists took to the streets of Pakistan's second largest city, Lahore, in broad daylight and machine gunned a busload of international athletes.
But the biggest news was often about the encroaching Taliban militias in the north, the same militias that have now reportedly reached within 60 miles of the capital, Islamabad.
Incredibly, the sense of impending doom felt by those outside the country was rarely felt from within. While based in Islamabad — with its wide tree-lined avenues, glitzy restaurants and sky-high real estate market — or while visiting Lahore — a city of 10 million with a thriving art and music scene — or reporting from Karachi — with its buzzing nightlife and daytime financial bustle — or even inside the war-torn tribal areas or in the city of Peshawar that is under the barrel of the Taliban gun — I never feared that the country would soon be ruled by the small Pashtun guerrilla force.
Maybe because it likely won't.

Pretty stupid - I don't know who is telling them?
Think of all the visitors to a school site, as elsiegee40 points out. They're always accompanied if they're going about site. Often we have external speakers in to speak to students - I don't know if they're CRB checked or not but they're always accompanied and in a hall with a huge number of students and staff to.
Isn't there a new "ISA" database coming in in September - which, apparently, the employee has to pay £60 to register for? Obviously a system designed by someone who thinks £60 is, to borrow a phrase from Boris Johnson, "chicken feed".

just ok...
the jacket itself is very warm but you constantly get feathers poking out of your jacket... so my guess is, eventually you'll lose a good amount of down insulation. that basically defeats the purpose of this jacket...
I also have a North Face summit series down jacket and in the 6 years I've owned it, it's NEVER done that... bottom line, you get what you paid for... I can't expect AK or Summit Series quality for such a cheap coat...
Initial review
I had been searching for a down jacket that I could layer on under my outer jacket when it gets cold, and that I could also wear everyday on the streets. I eventually decided on this jacket as it looked great, felt quality, was warm, and was also a really good price compared to other down jackets out there... I can't say much about the durability as I haven't worn it much yet... I tried on both the green and black, they both looked great, ended up getting the green.

MADRID, Spain (AP) -- The Spanish airline Spanair is defending its preflight safety checks following claims by investigators that the crew involved in last month's deadly crash tried to take off without extending the plane's wing flaps.
A preliminary report claims the pilots of the MD-82 that crashed during takeoff in Madrid were unaware the flaps hadn't deployed because a cockpit alarm failed to sound.
The moveable panels on the trailing edge of a wing provide extra lift during takeoff.
A Spanair official says company policy is to check the flaps three times before every flight. But he wasn't able to say if the policy was followed before the August 20th disaster.
One-hundred-fifty-four people died in the crash.

Here's what we use to control the windows 8 start menu layout..
c:\windows\system32\attrib.exe "c:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\ appsFolder.itemdata-ms" -R
echo f | xcopy "\\server\netlogon\start menus\Pinned_Items\appsFolder.itemdata-ms" "c:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\ appsFolder.itemdata-ms" /D /Y
c:\windows\system32\attrib.exe "c:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\ appsFolder.itemdata-ms" +R
Users GPO:
administrive templates -> start menu and taskbar -> Remove drag-and-drop and context menus on the Start Menu
user registry entry:
key path - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run Once
name - Allow start menu updating
type - REG_SZ
data - c:\windows\system32\attrib.exe "%USERPROFILE%\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\app sfolder.itemdata-ms" -R
logon script:
copy "\\server\netlogon\start menus\Pinned_Items\appsFolder.itemdata-ms" "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\app sFolder.itemdata-ms" /Y
Now i shall explain it all.
The startup block copies the network version of your start menu layout to the "default user" in windows. This means that any newly created profiles will get this layout applied. The issue is that windows always replaces this file when it creates a new user, so you have to set the file as read only to prevent this. That is why the startup block removes the read only, updates the file, then marks it as read only again. Note: if you have not run this command then you will not see the file as it does not exist by default.
The user GPO setting is what prevents the user from being able to edit the layout, however it also means no "run as administrator" option on the start menu. If you want to prevent the start menu background being changed, i believe you have to disable control panel access.
The registry setting removes the read only setting from the copy of the file within the users profile (as when windows copies the file over, the permissions are maintained), allowing you to maintain the layout via the following login script.
The login script copies the current layout to users profiles so they always have the up to date version on login.
To create/update the layout you just have a test computer in an OU with the "Remove drag-and-drop and context menus on the Start Menu" setting disabled so you can edit the layout. Then you just log off, browse to the user profile of the account you used and copy the file from the profile to your network location.
Also, incase any of you using roaming profiles have noticed that the file is stored in the "local" folder, windows copies it to the roaming folder on logoff and then back again on logon.

Oct. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Mexico's peso bonds rallied as investor demand for the higher-yielding securities overshadowed concern about Europe's debt crisis before a meeting of the euro region's leaders.
The yield on Mexico's benchmark peso-denominated bonds due in 2024 fell one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 6.51 percent at the close of trading in Mexico City, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The price rose 0.14 centavo to 130.73 centavos per peso. Yields on Mexico's bonds have dropped 10 of the past 11 days.
Euro-area leaders assembled in Frankfurt seeking to narrow divisions before an Oct. 23 summit to confront the region's sovereign debt crisis. As the European "headlines have turned very convoluted" the interest-rate differential between Mexico and developed markets continues to lure investors to the Mexican notes, according to Enrique Alvarez, the New York-based head of Latin America fixed-income research at IdeaGlobal. Mexico's central bank kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.5 percent on Oct. 14, compared with near-zero rates in the U.S., Europe and Japan.
The bonds' rally is "a function of what you continue to see externally, which is a number of conflicting stories on the resolution of the sovereign crisis," Alvarez said by phone. "On the U.S. side, as usual, you see a sort of a very mixed bag on the economy."
The peso weakened 0.6 percent to 13.4595 per U.S. dollar, from 13.3809 yesterday. The currency has dropped 8.3 percent this year.
Traders didn't trigger any of the dollar options available today, Mexico's central bank said on its website. The central bank has been buying as much as $600 million through the options every month since March 2010 to bolster foreign reserves.

DAYTON, Ohio — Tyrone Garland led La Salle's guard-driven offense with 22 points, and the Explorers wrapped up the NCAA tournament's First Four by getting the better of an old-fashioned shootout, beating Boise State 80-71 on Wednesday night.
The 13th-seeded Explorers (22-9) play fourth-seeded Kansas State on Friday in Kansas City.
Ramon Galloway, one of the Atlantic 10's top scorers, added 21 points in a fast-paced offense that did pretty much whatever it wanted. The Explorers shot a season-high 63 percent from the field — 16 of 22 in the second half.

Season of the Sun
by Catherine Coulter (Author)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Good not great. Fairly typical historical romance.
Zarabeth, lives in York with her step father and her step brother and younger sister. Zarabeth has yet to find a spouse, due to the fact that her step father chases most of her suitors away, until a warrior viking comes into town and starts courting her and wanting to marry her. At first Zarabeth is shocked at Magnus at his bluntness at wanting her for his wife and lover, but is intrigued and knows that she wants him as well, because he stirs up her senses like none other has ever done before. But when her step father finds out her true feelings for Magnus, he forces her to betray him threatening to hurt someone she cares for, so she does it, not knowing another way out. But then he comes back and takes her back to Norway as his slave, instead of his wife as he had once planned, however things never seem to go as planned. And Magnus despite her betrayal of him, can't deny the desire that she rises within him, more so than any other woman ever has. However things at home only get more hectic once he brings her to his home, and things between the two defnitely get heated, which could only end up in love. I truly enjoyed Season of the Sun, although I never know when I read Coulter's book if I am going to be able to really enjoy them and immerse myself into the stories, but with this one, I had it read it just a few hours. Crazy I know, but when I like a book, I truly immerse myself and before I know it, its at "The End" part and I look at the time, and its just crazy how fast I can read once I get into a story. I just love Viking romances and this is at the top of my list. Although I thought that throughout the story that there was some things missing from the book. I don't want to spoil the book too much so I wont however share any details, but I thought that there seemed to be a few things in the relationship between these two that I had issues with. However overall it was a great romance read, well written, with vivid characters and a intriguing plot, so defnitely if you like Viking Historical Romances you definitely don't want to miss out on this one or this series!!
Dragged on and on really. Didn't care for characters, and the plot was dull and annoying.
Pick this up for free from a swap and just LOVED it ... fell in love from the first few pages ... not sure why but the romance mixed with violence mixed with love mixed with all the misunderstandings that seems to haunt our everyday lives ... it just captured me. I couldn't put it down. Read it the first night !

HoopsHype Greece rumors
Niki Bakouli: According to Sport24.gr Papanikolaou is ready to sign with @FCBbasket for a total of 5,5 millions euros for 3 years (including bonuses) Twitter @Eurohoopsnet
Gery Woelfel: Bucks among those interested in 6-9 Greek SF Kostas Papanikolaou. Definitely wants to play in NBA next season. Twitter @GeryWoelfel
Greece's basketball federation has condemned remarks by the leader of an extreme right Greek political party who likened a recent NBA draft pick to a ''chimpanzee.'' The federation on Thursday described the remarks aimed at Giannis Antetokounmpo as ''unacceptable and racist.'' Antetokounmpo is an 18-year-old Greek shooting guard and the son of Nigerian immigrants. He was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks and received this week in Athens by conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras. Yahoo! Sports
Former NBA guard Acie Law has agreed to a two-year, $2.8 million gross contract to return to Olympiacos of Greece, a source told Yahoo! Sports. Yahoo! Sports
However, until the end of the month, Law will have the right to sign with an NBA team and be automatically released by Olympiacos. His character and also his last year decision to stay in Greece leads us to the conclusion that only if he is guaranteed not just a roster spot, but also an important role in an ambitious NBA team, he will not stay in Europe. EuroHoops.net
Mete Aktas: DeAndre Jordan says hi to all of us from Mykonos, Greece http://t.co/qMnrXcIIXv Twitter @MeteAktas76
Could there be a Greek revival at the Garden? The Knicks have offered future second-round picks and future considerations (cash) to Portland in an attempt to regain the rights to small forward Kostas Papanikolaou, according to sources. New York Post
According to sources, Papanikolaou, who won his second straight Euroleague championship for Olympiakos last month, is being shopped by the Blazers — at the request of his agent, Marc Cornstein. New York Post
According to sources, Portland has received offers for Papanikolaou from others teams with picks in the late 20s. It appears Portland GM Neil Oshey wants to wait until draft night to determine who is available. The Blazers believe if Papanikolaou were in this year's draft, he'd easily be a first-rounder. New York Post
After putting up career-best statistics last season, Kosta Koufos has decided to spend the summer working out with Nuggets coaches and strength staff, instead of playing for the Greek national team. Denver Post
Roberto Bascoy: Chris Shentziou, Kostas Papanikolaou's press officer: "Papanikolaou will decide between Olympiacos and NBA. He's not considering another European team" Twitter
Kostas Papanikolaou of Olympiacos, winner this year "rising star award" as he team defended its title in London, has already proved that he is one of the best European players and this why many NBA teams are thinking of approaching Portland to acquire his rights. Blazers followed him closely throughout the season, but at this point it seems that "Pap" in not on the immediate plans of Neil Olshey. Portland (besides starter Nicolas Batum) also has another talented European forward with Spaniard Victor Claver and is no need to "overload" the small forward position. EuroHoops.net
So there is a strong chance that the Blazers will trade his rights and many teams has shown interest. Spurs and Mavericks are among them, as well as the Knicks who drafted Papanikolaou on No48 of last year's draft. Knicks GM Glen Grunwald visited London for a day, just to watch him on the semifinal against CSKA! EuroHoops.net
Eddie Johnson: Congrats to the Big Red (Olympiacos basketball club on its 2nd straight championship. I am so proud to be a part of your success. Twitter @Jumpshot8
Smush Parker will not play in TB2L with Selcuk Universitesi because his former team, Peristeri, did not give him the letter of clearance. Parke started the season with Cibona on a one-month contract. Left Croatia, Parker moved to Peristeri where he was averaging 15.3ppg in 4 games. Parker left the Greek team for Turkey but Peristeri refused to release the LOC. Sportando
Filathliticos beat Niki Volou 75-70, Adetocunbo had 19 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocks and Ainge was taking his notes from a courtside seat between the scorers table and the guets' bench. When the home team lost, its fans start curshing at the winners and also at Ainge. They thought he was someone affiliated with Filathliticos. When they were informed who he was, they started shouting at him that everyone in Volos is a fan of the Lakers. EuroHoops.net

Clashes leave dozens dead in Egypt
CAIRO — Egypt was rocked Monday by the deadliest day since its Islamist president was toppled by the military, with more than 50 of his supporters killed by security forces as the country's top Muslim cleric raised the specter of civil war.
The military found itself on the defensive after the bloodshed, but the interim president drove ahead with the army's political plan. He issued a swift timetable for the process of amending the Islamist-backed constitution and set parliamentary and presidential elections for early 2014.

Correct, its also worth noting you can't log in to the iTunes store with the account you use for VPP, you need two seperate logins
Hoping someone with some Apple knowledge can advise me here. I'm not an Apple guy but have been tasked with looking after our ever expanding iPad deployments. To that end, I have a Mac running Mountain Lion with Apple configurator installed in readiness
This is what I THINK I understand about configurator and its various pros and cons (so far)
1) If an iPad if set as supervised, it can only be connected to the computer to which it was initially configured (so if a teacher wanted to get work off the iPad they would need to email it or come and ask me to do it)
2) If an ipad is set up as unsupervised, then you cant re-use VPP codes from one device to another, but you can still allocate and install apps using the VPP program
3) If you are using configurator then you dont need the iPad to have an iTunes account setup to install and use apps (free ones), but presumably you need a master iTunes account to download them to the configurator Mac in the first place to roll them out
Is the above correct?
We are about to begin a student deployment with only free apps installed - so would I be better off using configurator to set up one master iPad then backing it up and restoring to the others?
Any help to guide me through the bewildering world of iTune accounts and IOS gratefully recieved!
