Mini cp decision
So i am deciding if i am going to sell my bl mcpx and dx6i and get a mini cp with a devo 8s or 6s. I have read nothing, but positive about it. i am also looking at getting the devo 8s in case i do go to a nitro bird. Do you think this is a smart decision? what parts are interchangeable between the mcp and genius. and where can i find the best batteries and price for it? and lastly i already fly a bl mcpx is it worth paying the extra for WOWs brushless version. i have heard this is a completely different bird compared to the other mini flybarless helis
Go for it its the best micro ever made:thumbup:
The devo 8S and Mini CP killer combo. The lipos i use are the upgrade walkera mini cp lipos. First try it without doing any mods you will be impressed of the little bird. Grtz Ed |
i am planning on purchasing this one if you don't suggest getting wows brushless setup because that site includes a flybarless receiver which would be perfect for my flybarless gaui 425 build. where did you get the batteries from? i don't see any on WOWs site. and is there a parallel charger for walkeras? |
This is one of the shops i buy my heli stuff from.
The lipos.http://www.rc711.com/shop/37v-350mah...ath=166_60_288 The combo. http://www.rc711.com/shop/24g-walker...65_122_292_294 Grtz Ed |
how fast is their shipping
how well do the servos hold up as well? i know the genius servos had problems
Its a Micro Servo dont play stock car With it.
But they hold well. The guys at RC711 are great in service. Sometimes they ship the next day. It arrives in belgium within 3 days:clap This is my experience with RC711 Grtz Ed |
If you want I already ordered a Mini CP with a Devo 12S. I can do a review for you guys once it arrives in the next week or so (tracking shows it in Shanghai at the moment). I have a MCPX with Spektrum TX. I would gladly note the differences and which one is a better heli! Just give me a little time and I will give you guys the heads up.
I am in United states and the cheapest shipping was $70!:wow2:
the guy US has the devo 8s with mini cp and extra receiver for 15 more and 15 shipping |
Are you sure thats a flybarless receiver , it looks like a standard receiver ?
I bet you could sell that extra rx for some $ if you don't end up using it. I'm assuming it's FBL, can't imagine they would make a flybar devo rx. |
if it isn't fbl i still need a receiver for my gaui 425. and i have a blade 400 on the way that i will either sell for a 400d02.
The RX802 is the flybarless system RX and the new one. The RX801 (that you got in your combo) is not flybarless. But it is still an 8ch rx so it can easily be used with a beastx module for flybarless flight.
I'd be keen to try it on my 450 if I could find the manual and software etc |
I would also like to know how the rx802 works
otherwise its this http://www.wowhobbies.com/hm-v450d01...v450d01-2.aspx which price of rx802 is much better |
Never heard about a flybarless receiver the only difference between the 801 and 802 are switheballe frame rates and longer antenna leads. Grtz Ed |
It seems their engineering and manufacturing capabilities outstrip their English documenting ability.
If one reads Chinese though, there is a lot more available that is also more detailed. Generating English translations for many Asian companies is not an easy task, unfortunately. |

Creighton University history professor John Calvert, Ph.D., an expert on social protest and political resistance movements in the modern Middle East, says he is surprised the revolution in Libya took off the way it did.
Calvert says many of the same conditions that lead to demonstrations in Tunisia and Egypt exist in Libya, where despite the oil wealth, the countrys unemployment figure stands around 30 percent. However, Calvert says, "Al Qaida is conspicuous in its absence in all of this... These demonstrations have not taken place in the name of Islam."
Calvert is the Fr. Henry W. Casper S.J., Associate Professor of History at Creighton. He is the author of the recently published Sayyid Qutb and the Origins of Radical Islamism.

The real meaning of the election: Work it out, folks
In the last three elections the American people voted for change. On Tuesday, they voted to keep things the way they are.
A recap: In 2006, we had a Republican President, an unpopular war and a Republican House accused of being too cozy with K street. Voters booted them from the House. Good-bye, Tom Delay. Hello, Nancy Pelosi.
In 2008, voters moved further left, electing a Democratic president and giving Democrats a decisive majority in Congress. But just two years later, alarmed at the pace of massive spending, huge deficits, and an unpopular health care plan that was clearly a higher priority than getting people back to work, they kicked the Democrats out, leaving Republicans with their biggest House majority since the late 1940s. The revolt went beyond D.C. More Republicans were elected to state legislatures and assemblies than any time since the Coolidge administration.
This year, 2012, would finally decide which direction people wanted to go — further left with the president, or further right with the Republican House.
Now we know. They want both.
The race for president was essentially a replay of George W. Bush in 2004: The incumbent won a bare majority of the vote and bested his opponent in the Electoral College by bringing home Ohio and the major swing states. But in 2012 there was one difference: Barack Obama became the first president ever re-elected to a second term with a smaller percentage of the vote than he won four years earlier.
At the same time, the voters didn't dent the comfortable Republican majority in the House of Representatives, the engine of conservative reform on Capitol Hill. After all the rhetoric, the billions (literally) spent on campaign commercials and exhaustive work at the grassroots level to identify and turn out voters, divided government remains in place, virtually unchanged. Democrats did make some modest gains in the U.S. Senate, but they often came courtesy of second-string GOP candidates afflicted with foot-in-mouth disease.
So is divided government all that bad?
In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan had a Democratic House, presided over by old-time Boston pol Tip O'Neill and his hyperpartisan aide, Chris Matthews. Yet Reagan managed to get things done, including his historic tax cutting growth plan, domestic spending restraint, and the sweeping tax reform plan of 1986 that brought the top rate down to 28 percent in exchange for sweeping aside deductions and exemptions. When necessary, the two Irishmen talked behind closed doors and compromised: Reagan agreeing to some tax hikes, O'Neill acceding to lower tax rates on the wealthy in exchange for taking millions of low-income earners off the tax rolls.
In the 1990s, after the '94 mid-terms produced a Republican House, Bill Clinton ended up across the table from uber-partisan Newt Gingrich. Clinton was more clever and disciplined, at least politically, than the insurgent Georgian, and he took the advice of his consultant, Dick Morris, triangulating between Gingrich and the left wing of his own party. It worked magnificiently, but also required signing off on parts of the Republican agenda, including welfare reform and a capital gains tax cut that helped fuel the high tech boom in the '90s. Coupled with spending restraint, it resulted in the first balanced budgets in a generation.
Barack Obama, more ideologically oriented and far less politically skilled than Clinton or Reagan, would never have signed off on welfare reform or cutting capital gains. But with no mandate, and no plan going forward, he cannot govern without dealing with a Republican Congress that is not going away.
Some people, particularly politicos and pundits within the D.C. beltway, roll their eyes at all the unsophisticated rubes who vote for one Party in the White House and another to represent them in Congress. But growing numbers of Americans don't feel comfortable with either party. Having endured a big spending Republican Congress under Bush, and an even bigger spending Democratic Congress under Obama, it is clear they no longer trust either party to do it on their own.

Actually, there is no evidence that very many, if any, actual voters split the ticket.
Here in Washington, for example, its pretty clear that voters voted for Democratic Senate, a Democratic House, and a Democratic President.
In Arkansas, on the other hand, its pretty clear voters voted for a Republican House and a Republican President.
In neither case, was there any significant desire on the part of voters to have a divided government.
And these two states are pretty representative- sure, there are a few states that are trending one way or the other, with incumbent members of one party or the other hanging on while the state trends the other way, but its not the least bit true that the nation, as a whole, is in favor of splitting tickets and voting for both parties.

I don't think Americans want politicians, pundits, and parties to do anything but build a more robust society that solves local problems related to infrastructure, education, pollution, and weak economic growth. But it needs to be easier to participate and hold politicians accountable. @10, www.at10us.com is charting the path.
Posted Thu, Nov 8, 4:24 p.m.
Certainly most people voted a consistent line between Congress and President, but many did not; this was not a "wave" election, like in 1980 (the Reagan landslide) or 1992 (The Clinton Tsunami that catapulted Democrats into office across the board, all the way to the state legislative level.)
Posted Thu, Nov 8, 4:28 p.m.
John, let's drill down further on this. Why don't you look at this
from the standpoint of what percentage of the population of eligible
voters in the country actually participated in each of the national elections you cite in your comentary above? I suspect we may begin to get a perspective different than the one you are presenting.
Posted Thu, Nov 8, 4:35 p.m.
I think the Republican party lost the presidential race, not Romney. He was forced into positons to get nominated and keep his base that most Americans don't accept....if it were only economics he might well have won, but almost every other issue he and his party are out of sync...we are no longer a male, white nation, though some districts still are and vote that way...
Posted Fri, Nov 9, 9:52 a.m.
I think you're right. Romney's primary opponents, especially Gingrich, poisoned the well for Romney in pandering to the party's troglodytes and forcing Romney into a faux conservatism that he was obviously uncomfortable with. Romney then found it very difficult to execute the "Nixon maneuver" and veer back to the center for the election. Until the first debate, he was spending all of his time placating the cultural conservatives while the Gingrich/Obama smear campaign turned him into Scrooge McDuck. If the Republican party wants to succeed in the future, it needs to become more libertarian, more welcoming of groups the "Moral Majority" types drove out (such as the Log Cabin Republicans), and more concerned with the lives of people who want to be successful in this country. If the Republican party can become the party of people on the road to success, not just of those who have already achieved success, it can attract many of the minorities and recent immigrants that find themselves voting Democrat by default.

Bella, The election of 2012, for all the noise and money flying around, actually produced a smaller voter turnout than four years ago, and much smaller proportionately than the aforementioned 2004 election. President Obama received about nine millions fewer votes this year than 2008, and Romney received about a million fewer votes than John McCain. As Curtis Gans put it, the politically active community paid rapt attention to this year's election; the electorate at large was largely "disengaged" (his word).
Posted Thu, Nov 8, 5:17 p.m.
John, your reply begged my question. I suspect you didn't want to answer the question, because I think you know it might posit some uncomfortable conclusions.
Posted Thu, Nov 8, 6:33 p.m.
"On Tuesday, they voted to keep things the way they are." (Rather than rewind to 2000 and start the last two reels over again--complete with paranoia and neocon bellicosity in foreign policy, laissez rape [oops! what a Freudian slip!] in financial and cultural policy, and deep denial of rapidly changing population profiles and social norms).
You got it exactly right: "keep things the way they are" indeed.
Mr. Romney was nowhere near the candidate the right would have lumbered us with, had they been able to loose their free-range roosters in the national barnyard. In fact, Romney is a thoroughly decent man (in the narrow range of his sect and its mandatory service requirements) who thoroughly deserves the 2012 Etch-A-Sketch award.
In front of a disbelieving audience, he kicked his right-wing opponents in the crotch, made off with the nomination onstage, quickly changed costume offstage, and reappeared as the guy that all but large stuffed birds could love. Absent his talents, this election would have produced a REAL thrashing.
So. The right emerges from their ill-advised dalliance on the Morning After with (curses!) no pill to take. Are they pregnant? And with what?
A trip to Walgreen's will answer that--but in the meantime, they can again rely on the gritty intransigence of Mr. Mitch McConnell (now dedicated to preventing a third term for Barak Obama) and Mr. John Boehner (the crippled leader who carries no handicap). They are backed up admirably by Eric Cantor (who can maybe deliver the mail in Virginia but not votes) and Michelle Bachmann, who will be here in just a minute after she emerges from her own private Hurricane Sandy, permanent smile in place. Joe Biden, take note.
Give us a break, John. In your dreams, there is ambivalence in the Body Politic, no plan from the returning administration, and a "Republican Congress" (say WHAT??). There IS a Republican House, a much stronger and more Democratic Senate, and a president who does have a mandate for action.
We'll see that agenda in future weeks and months: and woe to the right if they sabotage forward progress in these Four More Years as they did in the previous four.

John, you have to be kidding me! The first sentance of your commentary. You cited the last three elections, John.
In 2008, 2010 and 2012 the people voted for change, right?
Go back to my original question.
Posted Fri, Nov 9, 8:02 a.m.
Bella, thanks for clarifying. Here you go: 2008 turnout of Voting Age Population: 57.1% - highest since '68. 2010 middterms: 41.5% - highest midterm turnout in 30 years. This year's estimated turnout - about 52% - lowest turnout since Bush-Gore. Turns out that "drilling down" confirms my point. Thank you.

How much of America's "voting to keep things the way they are" and not denting the comfortable Republican majority in the House is the result of the partisan gerrymandering shenanigans that help the incumbent party hold seats? How about working that out, John?

John Carlson likes to play god; a cruel, vain god manipulating mere mortals with holier than thou decrees. "Fight each other to the death! I command thee!" he bellows through invisible air waves. Perhaps John Carlson only speaks for those who think themselves gods deciding the fate of humankind and how our individual ends are met - car wreck, noxious gas, food poisoning, torture, brutality, deprivation, starvation, insanity, earthquake, flood, fire? What an entertaining passtime John Carlson and fellow faux-Olympians enjoy and we mortals provide with blood, sweat and tears.
Posted Fri, Nov 9, 3:52 p.m.
Actually Ross, Nate Silver was right. As am I. Obama must take the lead and deal with the House, as Reagan did with O'Neill and Clinton did Gingrich. Political feelings aside, on taxes, spending and entitlement reform, he has no other play.
Posted Fri, Nov 9, 4:13 p.m.
John, you seem to have forgotten that President Obama did try to deal with House Republicans and cut a "grand bargain" with Speaker Boehner last year, but Boehner's GOP colleagues shot it down because of the tax increases. See Matt Bai's definitive New York Times magazine piece earlier this year.
Actually, the latest ballot results show that the Dems picked up 3 seats in the House, with 9 races still to call. Dems also picked up two seats in the Senate despite facing a steep uphill battle given the number of seats they had to defend. That's quite a bit better than holding their own. They even picked up and held Senate seats in purple and red states like North Dakota, Montana, Indiana, Florida, and Virginia, and Ohio. In addition, the Dems flipped control of the state legislature in five states including Minnesota, Maine, Colorado, and Oregon. So I think you're not being quite accurate in calling this a status quo election. And don't forget Obama ran strongly on raising taxes on upper income earners and won, giving him a clear mandate on that issue, which seems to be the main thing that congressional Republicans care about.

No, John. It doesn't confirm your point. Your notion of drilling down hardly scratched the surface. I think your premise in your commentary is completely uninformed.
Crowing about an enemic and apathetic turnout of 41% (regardless of the fact it was only 1-2% higher than previous off-year elections) in 2010 hardly qualified as a GOP mandate, and it was likely an early warning sign of GOP problems within their primary process. I suspect that the 2010 GOP gain in House seats was the result of only 25+/- percent of the eligble voting public actually casting votes. Many percent less (perhaps 10% of the total electorate?) voted for these candidates in the GOP primaries. This is an exceptionally unsettling position for the GOP considering its base is shrinking and not expanding, and it has another round of elections two years hence with
House and Senate incumbants who are now required to appeal to an increasingly changing electorate. 2010 was a one-off.
What possibly adds fuel to the fire in which the GOP House finds itself is that Obama is not really required to do anything in spite of your assertions to the contrary. He became a lame-duck as soon as he was elected. I am afraid the onus is on the House and its GOP majority to devise legislation that will pass Senate scrutiny and be supported by an Obama signature. The GOP House majority is simply not in a position of strength.
Posted Fri, Nov 9, 6:32 p.m.
Harris, Matt Bai's NY Times magazine article was not the "definitive" piece on the Obama - Boehner showdown; Bob Woodward's new book is. And he makes it clear who holds most of the blame for a deal not happening (it's a great read for anyone who enjoys political intrigue and strategy).
I already covered the D's gains in the Senate, but here's my prediction: Nancy Pelosi is OUT as Democratic leader. Bottom line, for both you and Bella, the Democrats took dead aim at the R's House leadership, even predicting a change of power last summer. They never got close. Now Obama must lead (it is ALWAYS the president who must lead) with that reality in mind.
Posted Fri, Nov 9, 8:35 p.m.
Michael Grunwald's reporting in Time and in his new book make clear there's no way President Obama can "lead" as long as congressional Republicans continue to engage in their unprecedented total obstructionism, which they started from Day 1 of Obama's administration.
Many of us are hoping Obama now realizes there's no way to "compromise" with these folks, and he's got to use the upper hand that the election and the sequester legislation give him. Voters have clearly said they favor raising taxes on the wealthy. And there's little or no public support for significant cuts in Medicare or Social Security benefits or eligibility. But there are ways to save substantial money in Medicare without slashing benefits or eligibility. See my article from earlier this year. Of course these sensible measures won't be appealing to those whose real purpose is to phase out Medicare as public health insurance program and as a guaranteed benefit.

John, you should have learned by now that leadership takes many forms. In addition, the GOP has to change or it won't survive. The question is are you going to be one of those who leads that change or are you going to cling to a sinking ship?

Well,, in addition to everything else, you also clearly do not understand irony.
Your candidate for Governor lost. Ditto the new AG. Ditto Jon Koster in the new 1st. D's continue to hold the Senate and the House in Washington. Elizabeth Warren won. Also, D's won in Wisconsin and North Dakota.
Obama won. D's hold the US Senate. R's managed to hold the House, but will have to compromise.
You can spin this as you wish in the echo chamber of talk radio, but to paraphrase your buddy Rush, in this State, Liberals are hunting conservative R's with dogs.

Historians will be busy for years dissecting the results of the 2012 election. In the end though it is my belief that the final results may be blamed in part on Republicans across the country misreading the public opinion on ObamaCare.
The 2010 mid-term elections were interpreted within the Republican Party as a mandate against ObamaCare but in reality it was the normal situation which is typical of a mid-term elections where the incumbent party loses seats. The Republican gains though were magnified by the low turnout by Democrats combined with an well-funded astroturf Tea Party and further magnified by a gerrymandered redistricting. In swing districts, anger swept incumbent Democratic House members out of office as they had failed in not holding anyone to a degree of accountability as Wall Street and the auto industry was bailed out.
With the Boehner and the House making repeal of ObamaCare their primary goal and Romney stating that it would be the first legislative priority of his term, it is immediately apparent from the results of this election that repeal is not what the voters wanted.
The Republicans though made a critical mistake in interpreting the poll results prior to this election. The polls may indicate that a majority oppose ObamaCare but one must also take into account that this majority include a large number of Liberals/Progressive that view it as another corporate give away and hold out for a single payer system. And ObamaCare may be extremely unpopular among Republicans with 75% stating that the entire law should be thrown out (according to Pew) but
this opinion appears to be only held within the core base.
In fact, a March 2012 Bloomberg poll reported the following:
37% in favor of repeal
46% in favor of letting us see how it works but it may need small modifications
11% stating that it should be left alone
Exit polls from this election cycle confirmed the ambivalent opinions concerning the law.
So in our more liberal leaning state, the smart and wise thing for both Koster and McKenna would for them to have embraced ObamaCare as the conservative response to the healthcare crisis. For remember that it was originally proposed by the Heritage Foundation and implemented by a Republican governor in the state of Massachusetts.
But Republican orthodoxy and rigidity being what it is, such an approach is not permitted as that it risks the candidate being labeled a RINO and losing financial support from national Republican organizations. And as in we saw in this last election, the result of such rigidity is major losses across the country due to inflexibility to permit candidates to modify their campaigns to fit their state's electorate. Under different circumstances, Rob McKenna would be the governor elect had he not challenged ObamaCare as AG and distanced him from the schizophrenic, etch-a-sketchy Romney who was never going to win Washington anyway.

Speaker Boehner understands the meaning of the election outcome much better than John Carlson does:
Their party lost, badly, Mr. Boehner said, and while Republicans would still control the House and would continue to staunchly oppose tax rate increases as Congress grapples with the impending fiscal battle, they had to avoid the nasty showdowns that marked so much of the last two years.
Posted Mon, Nov 12, 6:11 p.m.
Perhaps if we see some actual leadership, good manners, and working together for the betterment of all we will also see in future elections, better choices of candidates.
After all, who wants to join the pig pen?
Posted Tue, Nov 13, 6:50 a.m.
Another interesting, "real" meaning from this recent election- gerrymandering is one of the only things keeping the Republicans viable at all, on a national level.
Even though the House is still Republican, its only because of the last two rounds of redistricting, which they skillfully managed- if you look at how the people spoke on November 7, the majority of the popular vote in House races went to Democrats.
Much like the Electoral college, complicated districts that resemble intestines allowed the Republicans to resist the actual voting trends in america and hold control of the house.
Posted Tue, Nov 13, 9:31 a.m.
Ries, redistricting actually worked both ways, probably netting out to the Democrats advantage. Michael Barone estimates redistricting may have cost the GOP an additional 11 seats.

The Rose soap with its beautifully blended natural essential oils has an elegant and romantic traditional feel. All oils and essential oils are certified organic to the National Organic Standards Program. Packaged in 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.
Quality soap-making consists in great part in choosing the right proportions of the right oils with their different fatty acids. Most commercial soaps skimp on quality because of cost, and use lots of tallow from beef fat with a little bit of coconut or palm kernel oil. Our unsurpassed soaps use olive, hemp, and palm oils instead of tallow, and use three to four times more coconut oil than commercial soaps. Saponified coconut oil generates high-lather cleansing even in hard water because it has shorter-chain saturated fatty acids. Hemp, olive, and palm based soaps make a mild, smooth, creamy lather, because these oils contain longer chain unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Soap is made by saponifying a fat or oil with a strong alkali. A fat or oil is a triglyceride, which means that three fatty acids of various carbon lengths are attached to a glycerine backbone. The strong alkali is either sodium (for bars) or potassium (for liquids) hydroxide. The saponification process is a simple one-step reaction with no waste generated: the glycerine is split off from the fatty acids, and the fatty acids combine with the sodium or potassium to form soap, while the hydroxide forms water. The result is soap, glycerin and water (no alkali remains).
Dr. Bronner's Magic Pure-Castile Soap is a combination of organic extra virgin coconut, olive, jojoba and hemp oils, together with pure essential oils, creates a unique soap that cleans effectively without being aggressive and produces a velvety-lather that leaves the skin silky-smooth and refreshed.
Water, Saponfied Organic Coconut Oil, Saponified Organic Olive Oil, Organic Glycerin, Organic Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil, Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Organic Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Organic Citrus Medica Limonum.
For everyday bodywashing: Get wet and pour soap full-strength onto hands-washcloth-loofah. Lather up, scrub down, rinse off, and tingle fresh & clean!
To simplify & enjoy life more, dilute 1/2 ounce or 2 squirts of this pure castile soap with 2 gallons (or sinkfull) of hot water, then towel massage or use as a facial pack. Wring towel out and fingertip massage your hair & scalp. Enjoy the creamy emollient lather on baby, bath, beach, body, dentures, mint deodorant, shaving, mouthwash-silk-wool-pets-diapers-car-hand and foot soap.
Keep out of eyes - if product does get in eyes, wash out with water. Don't drink the soap. Soap clouds when cold - less than 50�F. If soap clouds, put in warm room or water - soap clears at 70�F.

Today we also look at cinema's best character introductions, literary souvenirs from the Suffragette movement, and the cast of the new Irvine Welsh adaptation.
Someday our descendants will be giggling at the silly generation of film heroines who turned to search engines in their hour of greatest need.

I'll be the first to admit that many of our gas pistols could be considered "expensive" (that's just because they are so high-quality, though). However, we still stock some relatively cheap gas pistols that anybody can afford. This one is the HFC 121, a powerful, sleek gas pistol that only costs $35. You can even choose whether you want it in black or silver! Click the image-link below to read the full description on this product.

2013 JBC West Team Roster
2013 JBC East Team Roster
Joel Embiid
7-0 • 230 • Center • The Rock School • Gainesville, FL
• Hometown: Gainesville, FL • College: Kansas
Embiid is a native of Cameroon, a country in west Central Africa. He did not start playing basketball until he was 16 and given the chance to attend the NBA's Basketball Without Borders camp in Africa. Like most international players, Embiid spent the majority of his time playing soccer and volleyball growing up. The 7-footer has great length, natural shot-blocking instincts and is considered a top sleeper in the class of 2013. Embiid will take his untapped potential to Kansas.
Aaron Gordon
6-8 • 210 • Forward • Archbishop Mitty H.S. • San Jose, CA
• Hometown: San Jose, CA • College: Undecided
Gordon is arguably the top West Coast prospect and it's no surprise he was chosen as Mr. Basketball for the state of California, as a junior. He comes from a basketball family as his dad played at San Diego State, older brother Drew (JBC Alum '08) played at New Mexico, and his sister Elise is a junior at Harvard. Gordon has the ability to get the crowd off their seats, often compared to JBC Alum Blake Griffin. Not afraid of the big stage, Gordon led Archbishop Mitty to Division II state titles the past two years. He is undecided on his college choice next year.
Kasey Hill
6-0 • 170 • Guard • Montverde Academy • Montverde, FL
• Hometown: Eustis, FL • College: Florida
Hill is a true point guard and can get wherever he wants on the floor in order to lead his team. The University of Florida bound and Preseason ALL-USA Team selection brings explosive athletic ability and a high basketball IQ every time he steps on the floor. Hill has led Montverde Academy to a top five ranking in the national polls this season.
Dakari Johnson
6-10 • 250 • Center • Montverde Academy • Montverde, FL
• Hometown: New York, NY • College: Kentucky
Johnson showcased his talents at an early age; as he was selected as the National Freshman of the Year for his play in 2010-11. He has continued that dominance and is arguably the No. 1 center in the class of 2013 after re-classifying from the 2014 class. Johnson has participated in the LeBron James Skills Academy, is a member of Nike EYBL's Each 1 Teach 1 program and has represented the United States as a member of the USA Basketball Team in the U17 World Championships. He will attend the University of Kentucky next fall.
Matt Jones
6-4 • 180 • Guard • DeSoto H.S. • DeSoto, TX
Hometown: DeSoto, TX • College: Duke
Jones is regarded as one of purest shooters in the country. Shooting over 50% from the field and over 45% from beyond the arc his numbers speak for themselves. His range extends out to 20 feet and he is just as dangerous on the catch and shoot. Jones participated in the Nike EYBL in 2012 for Texas Titans. He will take his game to Cameron Indoor Stadium and join the Duke Blue Devils next season.
Marcus Lee
6-9 • 200 • Center • Deer Valley H.S. • Antioch, CA
• Hometown: Antioch, CA • College: Kentucky
Lee is one of the premier rebounders and shot-blockers in the class of 2013. His knack for shot blocking comes from playing middle blocker for his high school volleyball team. He is an explosive athlete that runs the floor and finishes with grace. He can put up big numbers as shown earlier this season when he racked up 31 points and 29 rebounds. Lee will attend the University of Kentucky next season.
Jabari Parker
6-8 • 220 • Forward • Simeon Career Academy • Chicago, IL
• Hometown: Chicago, IL • College: Duke
Parker is one of the most gifted athletes on this year's roster. He is arguably the top small forward and ranked by some as the top player in his class. Parker is a member of his school's honor roll and has earned a 3.63 GPA. He has won countless awards such as: USA Basketball's 2011 Male Athlete of the Year, Gatorade and ESPN HS National Player of the Year, and is also the first underclassman to earn Illinois Mr. Basketball. Parker will attend Duke University in the fall.
Noah Vonleh
6-8 • 220 • Forward • New Hampton School • New Hampton, NH
• Hometown: Haverhill, MA • College: Indiana
Vonleh has some incredible physical intangibles such as his 7-foot-4 wingspan. He uses his length to his advantage on both sides of the ball. Vonleh can create his own shot off the dribble and has a great handle for a big man. After reclassifying from the class of 2014 to 2013, Vonleh was recruited heavily by top programs before committing to Indiana University.
Troy Williams
6-7 • 190 • Forward • Oak Hill Academy • Mouth of Wilson, VA
• Hometown: Hampton, VA • College: Indiana
Williams is a skilled forward who uses his length and athletic ability on both sides of the ball. He is a menace on defense as he gets into the passing lanes regularly. Offensively he has good scoring ability up to 22 feet. Playing his senior year at Oak Hill Academy, Williams has helped lead the warriors to a Top 25 ranking once again. He is the nephew of AAU legend Boo Williams and will be suiting up for Indiana University next year.
Nigel Williams-Goss
6-3 • 180 • Guard • Findlay Prep • Henderson, NV
• Hometown: Happy Valley, OR • College: Washington
A high basketball IQ and natural floor leader are two things that most describe Nigel Williams-Goss. He was the youngest starter for Findlay Prep, starting since his freshman year and currently is the all-time leading scorer in school history. Williams-Goss knows how to take over down the stretch and earlier this year hit a three at the buzzer to defeat the then No. 1 team in the country. He is a 4.0 student and has committed to play basketball at the University of Washington.
James Young
6-6 • 210 • Forward • Rochester H.S. • Rochester, MI
• Hometown: Rochester, MI • College: Kentucky
Young is another high level recruit headed to the University of Kentucky. He was named to The Detroit News Dream Team after averaging 25 points, 10 rebounds and three assists per game to go along with a 49-point performance. Young won MVP honors at the 2012 Nike Global Challenge and played for The Family during the Nike EYBL season.

SeaDream Yacht Club Announces Norway And Baltic Season
Luxury operator
SeaDream Yacht Club
has announced today that it will be visiting the Baltic and Norway for the first time in summer 2011 -- and offering its guests more than a few "firsts."
The new programme includes the line's first ever trip up the Thames to Tower Bridge. The 112-passenger
SeaDream I
will end its transatlantic repositioning voyage in London on May 8, 2011 for a day during which the yacht will be shown off to hundreds of trade, media and prospective passengers.
This is an important opportunity for SeaDream to introduce British cruisers to its boutique, all-inclusive product; although the U.K. is the company's third-biggest market after the U.S.A. and Canada, Brits only make up eight percent of passengers.
After London, the vessel will sail empty to Bremerhaven in Germany for a three-week dry dock, before emerging on June 1 to operate two Norwegian fjords voyages and four to the Baltic.
But now for the fun part... SeaDream's owner, the supposedly reclusive Norwegian Atle Brynestad, is so thrilled that one of his ships is visiting his home country that he's planning to throw open his own back garden for two parties for guests and crew during the Norwegian sailings. SeaDream's president, Bob Lepisto, told Cruise Critic in an interview: "Our owner is from Oslo and he's always had a dream that one of his yachts will come 'home.' He has a summer home in Lillesand (south of Oslo) and we plan to anchor off his island for the Norwegian equivalent of a beach barbecue."
Lepisto revealed that news of the new cruising area was leaked on a recent voyage – and passengers immediately started asking to reserve cabins, even though dates and prices are not yet published. "It is my personal belief that these voyages will sell out," he said. "We have a number of very loyal guests who have asked for the Baltic."
What about the likelihood of rain? On a yacht that is essentially built for fine-weather cruising, there is a lot of open deck space and fewer indoor activities than, say, a mainstream mega-ship. It's a valid concern:
, which offers a similarly "outdoorsy" product to SeaDream, tried a Baltic season several years ago in 2004 but didn't return.
"We will have raincoats and blankets," joked Lepisto. "But we don't think people are going to be put off. We sail at night. We will be there mid-summer. And to see the fjords at their most spectacular, with snow still on the mountains, you have to go early in the season."
Inclement weather possibilities aside, there are many advantages of sailing the Baltic on a small ship; indeed, it's an area in which rival
has a long and successful history. SeaDream I will spend two nights and three days in
St. Petersburg
, docked on the Neva River in the heart of the city, rather than the ugly industrial dock to which many bigger ships are relegated. In Stockholm, the vessel will moor close to the old town, Gamla Stan, and cruise the beautiful archipelago in daylight hours. The Norwegian itineraries include the 111-mile Hardangerfjord and the deep, sheer-sided Sognefjord, all the more spectacular from a small vessel.
And, this may only the beginning for SeaDream in northern Europe. "We'll see how the season goes but we expect to be back in London in 2012 for the Olympics," Lepisto said. "We are getting all kinds of enquiries."
Detailed itineraries will be revealed during the next few days, so keep checking back!

I've been told not to pressure wash my deck as it would make it more likely to get splinters. Is that so? I plan to stain my deck, perhaps I should just brush it with some bleach water.
thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
When I moved into my house the deck was all black so I pressure washed it and it will tend to raise the fibers or make the wood fuzzy, at least on softwoods. When I put the finish on, the fibers layed down but this will probably shorten the life of the finish somewhat. Also, it tends to gouge out the areas between the grain. If you have to pressure wash you want to use a moderate pressure machine which may be had to find. I would use commercial deck cleaners - which ones depends on what if anything is on your deck and what condition it's in. Normally it's a stripper (some recommend it at half strength even if there's no finish on your deck) and a lightner. Brand doesn't really matter IMO since there all based on the same chemicals. These are available at the home centers. |
jvan, I would pick a stain, and then follow the recommendations on the factory website (usually more info than on the can). |

This is my very best friend grandson. How can you (the media) do this? Your have no respect for anything or anyone only sensationalism. Those are young people who call me aunt. They are trying to stop this here. You are a utter disgrace! We are all in pain now. I've always said the media is a heartless bunch of people and this is one perfect example. My friend in Toronto lost her son and while his wife was breast feed her baby she saw it on T.V.. When is this going to stop? Newpaper are more like tabloids those days.

Here we go again. Shame on you The Telegram Editors for publishing pictures from and accident scene which has claimed a life less that 12 hours ago. Your story states the name will not be released pending notification of next of kin yet you are publishing these pictures. What is one of these family members who has yet to be notified sees and identifies the vehicle in this pictures? I bet you would feel differently if it were one of your family members. Yes I agree with reporting but spare these poor families by publishing pictures of the scene. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those involved in this horrific accident.

I'm so in love with this multi-phase concealer! It covers well, blends easily and even out red spots. It is also very moisturizing, no flaking, dry patches after application. You need only a tiny amount to cover the dark circles under your eyes, otherwise it can set to the small wrinkles.
I also like the pretty packaging, so small and so chic. My HG, I recommend!

This is my favorite concealer. In fact, it has spoiled me to all others concealers. It is perfect - I dab it on under my eyes every morning, and on my lid and brow bone as an eyeshadow base. Brightens my eyes and looks natural. It doesn't crease. It doesn't cake or flake. It keeps the skin around my eyes moisturized all day. It doesn't wear off, but it washes off with soap and water. I wish it wasn't stupidly expensive, but in this case, you get what you pay for.

It's not perfect. It highlights my "fine lines and wrinkles" under the eyes. Best I can do is add this to my dead concealer pile. Sing that Willy Nelson Song " To all the concealers I've tried before, that travel in and out my door..." EDIT: This works to hide imperfections on my cheek, it doesn't work under the eye. It doesn't break me out, add whiteheads or cause other evil.

I bought this based on the reviews here and I hate it, it cakes up terribly, and it does not match my skin tone (medium). I found it on Ebay. Would definitely not repurchase.
Much prefer Bobbie Brown corrector and Benefit Boi-ing.

This is the best concealer I've ever used. Right now I'm using their yellow corrector underneath Benefit concealer, but now I know how good the Laszlo is, I'll get one of their skin toned concealers to go on top of the corrector. The texture of this is very silky and light, yet it has excellent coverage. You barely need to touch your undereye at all to spread and it stays put with no touch ups until you take it off (10 hours in my case). It does not cause your makeup to run and is extremely kind to the skin under your eyes. Coverage is like their foundation, medium on first application but easily buildable with no cakey appearance. Neither their foundation nor the concealer contain light diffusing particles, but magically seem to camouflage shadows and lines. Don't know how they do it, just glad they do! Love, love, love!!!

After trying numerous high-end concealers on the market (Shu, Estee, Chanel, La Prairie, etc), I came to conclusion that this is the best concealer out there. I have a very pale complexion with pink undertones and post-acne marks and scars and I had a hard time trying to find something that covers and blends well and that has a pinky - not yellow - undertone. This concealer fit the bill perfectly. The coverage is amazing and spreadabilty is not an issue for me, as I use a moisturizing serum beforehand. Paired with Erno Controlling Loose Powder this product creates a flawless face. I have already re-purchased this concealer 3 times. My only gripe is that I wish they gave us more of it per pan, but all the positives really outweigh this one negative feature in this case.

I'm really liking this concealer. Although its a little on the dry side, mixing it with a little eye cream makes it just right. I really like how the container twists open. I won't have to worry about it opening in my bag or the top breaking off (happens all too often.) Overall, I'm very happy with the product, and the price since I got it off ebay for cheap.

I really love this product. It is a bit of a heavier coverage concealer but isnt that what concealer is meant to do? It covers up every little flaw and has great opaque but natural coverage that is smooth and not cakey. It is basically an eye cream with color in it so its very good for the skin and has botanicals, etc. and is supposed to be great for sensitive skin and calming skin down in general. Its moisturizing but not overly so where I would not be able to wear it (I have extremely oily skin in summer and oily/combo in winter). I wear it year round and sometimes when I want pretty heavy coverage for photo finishes I will smooth it out almost entirely on my cheeks and around my nose kind of using it as a heavy duty foundation. It works really well and never looks maskey or cakey. Its too bad Laszlo is so hard to find in general (I can only get it at select nordy's, neimans or saks or online at their website) but then I guess it is a very exclusive brand, I just hope they are not phasing this out now. The one I got says duo phase concealer and I use shade 3 ( i have a light yellow toned complexion but by no means dark, this is the darkest color though so dark skinned ladies might have problems finding a color match). I use this with the duophase face powder and absolute finish foundation sometimes and it looks flawless.

Jan. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is selling dollars
from central bank reserves for the first time in six years in what Goldman
Sachs Group Inc. and Barclays Plc say is a futile bid to shore up the
bolivar in unregulated trading.
The central bank, under orders from Chavez to a**burn the handsa** of
speculators betting against the bolivar, said it sold $179 million since
Jan. 13, the first dollar auctions since trading restrictions imposed in
2003 spawned the unofficial market. Chavez said on Jan. 15 he wanted to
strengthen the bolivar more than 30 percent in unregulated trading, where
it fetches 6.3 per dollar, to contain inflation after he devalued the
official rate as much as 50 percent to 4.3.
The plan will fail because Chaveza**s nationalizations and land seizures
are prompting Venezuelans to pull money from the country, said Alberto
Ramos, a Goldman Sachs economist. More than $93 billion has left the South
American nation since 2005, according to the central banka**s capital
account data.
a**You have a problem that cana**t be resolved by throwing reserves at
it,a** Ramos said in a phone interview from New York. Venezuelans a**pay a
huge premium to get their assets out of the country, out of the reach of
the government, so that they cana**t confiscate them,a** he said. a**Under
that situation, $20 billion, $50 billion or $100 billion is not enough.
The entire capital stock of the economy could leave.a**
Phone calls to the Finance Ministry seeking comment werena**t returned. A
central bank spokeswoman said no one was available to comment when
contacted by Bloomberg News.
Oil Plunge
The 55-year-old former Army lieutenant colonel has nationalized the oil,
cement, steel, and utilities industries while seizing rice plants from
Cargill Inc. and retail stores this month from French-Colombian run
Hipermercado Exito in a bid to transform the country into a state-run
socialist economy. Venezuela faces international arbitration hearings from
Exxon Mobil Corp., the largest U.S. energy company, and Cemex SAB, the
biggest cement maker in the Americas, over nationalized assets.
Companies and individuals in Venezuela, the fourth-biggest supplier of oil
to the U.S., turn to the unregulated market to buy dollars when they
cana**t get authorization from the government to make the purchases at the
official rate.
Demand in the unofficial market swelled last year as the government said
it cut the amount of dollars provided at the fixed exchange rate by 38
percent to preserve foreign reserves after crude tumbled 54 percent in
2008. Private companies bought about 30 percent of their imports in 2009
with dollars acquired in the unregulated market, according to Asdrubal
Oliveros, an economist at Caracas-based Ecoanalitica.
On Jan. 8, Chavez devalued the bolivar for the first time since 2005,
saying he aimed to shore up a slumping economy by stimulating exports and
cutting imports. He weakened the official exchange rate by 17 percent to
2.6 per dollar for a**essentiala** imports and by 50 percent to 4.3 level
for a**nonessentiala** items.
Morgan Stanley forecasts the devaluation will push inflation to a 14-year
high of 45 percent this year from 27 percent in 2009, the fastest pace
among 78 economies tracked by Bloomberg.
The central bank began selling dollars in the unregulated market on Jan.
13, driving the bolivar up 10 percent to 5.87 per dollar in the first week
after the devaluation. Those gains prompted Chavez to say on Jan. 15 that
he was a**revaluinga** the bolivar, not devaluing it, and that he planned
to drive the unofficial rate to 4.3 per dollar.
Chavez picked up a copy of local newspaper El Mundo during the speech to
point out a headline that highlighted the bolivara**s rally, a sign hea**s
backing off the 2007 law he signed that prohibited the media from
publishing the unregulated rate or mentioning it on the radio. The rate,
known as the a**un- nameablea** among Venezuelans, has begun appearing in
other newspapers since the speech.
The bolivar has slid 6.8 percent since then.
Central bank dollar sales of about $100 million a week are insufficient to
drive the unofficial rate to 4.3, said Alejandro Grisanti, an analyst at
Barclays. Central bank President Nelson Merentes sells the U.S. currency
through auctions of three-month dollar-denominated zero coupon bonds that
Venezuelan financial institutions can buy with bolivars.
The governmenta**s best chance to strengthen the unofficial rate may be to
authorize more companies to buy dollars at the official rates, a move that
would ease demand in the unregulated market, Grisanti said. Russell
Dallen, the head bond trader at Caracas Capital Markets, estimates demand
for dollars in the unofficial market to total as much as $100 million a
a**Psychological Elementa**
a**At around 5 per dollar or so, the government would have to burn a lot
of reserves to maintain it,a** Grisanti said in a phone interview from New
York. a**It wouldna**t be sustainable.a**
He said hea**d recommend his Venezuelan clients buy dollars if the bolivar
approaches 5.3 in the unregulated market.
Venezuelaa**s foreign reserves have slumped to $31.3 billion from a record
high of $42.5 billion a year ago, in part because of Chaveza**s transfer
of $15 billion to a government development fund, according to central bank
Ecoanaliticaa**s Oliveros estimates the central bank would have to sell at
least $11 billion to get the unofficial rate close to Chaveza**s 4.3
Goldmana**s Ramos said assigning a dollar estimate to the plan is flawed
because people will move money out of the country as fast as the central
bank makes dollars available.
Venezuela, which last had a capital account surplus in 1998, the year
before Chavez became president, posted a capital account deficit of $10.8
billion through the first nine months of 2009, the most recent central
bank data show.
Only a more a**market friendlya** stance from Chavez would slow capital
flight, Ramos said.
a**Therea**s this psychological element,a** Ramos said. a**People dona**t
feel comfortable with the future of the country. They save in dollars.a**

The House is expected to vote next week on a bill that would reauthorize federal waterways funding for the first time in six years, according to a report from The Hill.
The bill, which House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) promoted with a video last month, passed in the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on September 19.
Committee officials told the Hill that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) announced during a meeting of the Republican caucus on Wednesday that the House would bring the waterways reauthorization bill to the floor next week.

Caterpillar has record 3Q sales, though profit dips
Posted onCaterpillar Inc. reported record third-quarter sales and revenues of nearly $13 billion, 13 percent higher than the $11.4 billion reported in the 2007 quarter.
"We are pleased to have set a new third-quarter sales and revenues record, particularly considering the recessionary conditions in North America and growing weakness in Europe and Japan," chairman and CEO Jim Owens said in a statement. "Demand in emerging markets and commodity prices at levels that encourage investment in mining and energy have helped offset negative economic conditions in much of the developed world."
Despite the revenue increase, Caterpillar reported a 6 percent drop in profit to $868 million, from $927 million, in the year-ago quarter, and profit per share of $1.39, compared to $1.40 per share in 2007. The decrease was the result of higher manufacturing costs, primarily for materials.
"We expected that material and freight costs would increase in the second half of 2008, and they did in the third quarter," said Owens. "Higher material costs, especially for steel, were the most significant headwind we faced in the quarter."
For the 2008 total, Caterpillar expects sales and revenues to top $50 billion, up from $44.958 billion in 2007, and profits of about $6 per share, up from $5.37 per share in 2007. The company's outlook for 2009 calls for sales and revenues to be about flat with 2008.

"Great base for customizing! I think I've settled on finding the best/easiest way for me being to skip the onion, just do the remaining ingredients. But adding a couple big spoonfuls of salsa at the end--just delicious. Used it tonight to dip warm, homemade pretzels into and it was awesome comfort food. Thanks for a great non-Velveeta option!"

Great Quotes (iii)
Submitted by Ulfilas on Fri, 02/15/2013 - 10:03Third installment of Great Quotes.
Some of you may be familiar with Richard A. Epstein already. He graduated from NYU Law School and is a fellow at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University. He is the author of over 20 books ranging from Natural Law, Tort Law, Libertarian beliefs, the Constitution and other legal areas. He is incredibly smart and precise and reading some of his work is an exhaustive experience if you are not fluent in legalese. In the end you will come out wiser though. Today I'm going to draw some quotes I found useful from his 1998 publication of:
Principles for a Free Society: Reconciling Individual Liberty with the Common Good
On John Locke's theory of 'First Possession'
In the end, therefore, the strongest justification for the strict rule that first possession yields complete ownership, not the lien for labor, is not one of individual desert. IT is one of modest prudence. It is therefore more congenial to Hume, who defended the rule for the boost it gives the "stability of possession" over external objects. In the long run, we are all better off if the surplus in things remains well defined with a single owner, than if each and every owner surrenders some of what he has acquired in exchange for the right to some portion of the surplus of lands acquired by others. The first-posession rule leaves each thing with a determinate owner, who is then capable of entering into voluntary transactions over the thing with other persons. These transactions are facilitated, as Locke rightly noted, by the existence of both money and durable goods, which render unnecessary any limitation on how much one person can acquire on his own account. A simple functionalism thus explains the appeal of the rule.
On Natural Law versus Positivism
The Natural Law theories insist that valid laws must satisfy certain minimum moral standards; positivist theories reject any such requirement.
On mandatory insurance coverage
The pressures should be resisted, for the bare identification of a gap in insurance coverage does not justify legislative nullification of the older common law maxim. Indeed, private decisions not to write insurance often have useful social consequences which social insurance cannot supply. Federal flood insurance, for example, has the unfortunate effect of inducing people to build homes and plant crops in high-risk locations. The subsidy thus distorts investment in this market, as in so many others. Then once the losses occur, federal disaster programs are often administered in slipshod fashion. How much comfort should we take in knowing that a Missouri farmer received $@00,000 in disaster aid following the 1993 Mississippi floods for his land, house and equipment which he purchased three weeks before for only $138,000? Matters are only made worse when the governments that mandate the subsidies refuse to pay for them, chiefly by prohibiting the companies that write specialized insurance from the leaving the state. The net effect is that the capital of the firm which has been acquired for national business is siphoned off into those states that impose these exit restrictions on insurance companies.
On Social Welfare
This confrontation was made unavoidable by the initial decision to place all contributions in a common pool. Yet all of these results could have been avoided if any initial shortfall had been made up out of general revenues, leaving individuals to contribute to their own retirement plans, adopting whatever formula they saw fit. If some measure of government compulsion is deemed necessary to guard citizens against their own improvidence, the law need only require them to set aside some fraction of their wages in personal retirement accounts that one could, as one saw fit, invest in stocks or bonds. Ordinary pension plans do not require all employees to follow the same investment strategies. There is no reason Social Security has to lock everyone into investment strategies they don't want. Less altruism leads to less political conflict, and to more responsible individual behavior.
