Scott City jumps out early, rolls TMP
Published on -10/27/2013, 10:16 AM

E-Mail This Story
By NICK McQUEEN
By halftime of Friday night's Class 3A, District 15 matchup at Lewis Field Stadium, it was clear the Thomas More Prep-Marian High School football team probably wasn't going to be able to knock off defending 3A champion Scott City.
Trailing 41-0, all Monarch second-year head coach John Montgomery wanted to see was his team win the second half, and build some momentum heading into next week's playoff play-in game at Hoisington.
Still, the fact remained, Scott City was dominant in the first half and cruised to a 51-7 win to move to 7-1, 2-0 in district play.
The Monarchs dropped to 2-5 and 1-1 in district play, setting up a win-and-in game this week.
"They came out and really put the pedal down right off the bat," Montgomery said of Scott City, which scored three touchdowns on three possessions in the first quarter, with four TMP punts. "It stunned our guys. We felt like we were just in a daze the whole first half until we were able to get in the locker room and kind of regroup a little bit."
The Monarchs provided little resistance to anything Scott City wanted to do before intermission. By halftime, Scott City rolled up 377 yards of offense and averaged 26.5 yards on its six scoring plays. The Beavers scored on all but one possession, when TMP stopped them on fourth-and-13.
TMP punted five times and lost two fumbles before intermission, and Scott City turned all but one possession switch into points.
"We've got to be able to bounce back after a quick attack like Scott City had," Montgomery said. "Momentum plays such a big factor. When they got a couple quick scores and we turn the ball over a couple of times. Then we're just hanging our head."
TMP went into the locker room with two first downs and 91 yards of offense, so Montgomery just wanted his team to focus as if it were a scoreless tie coming out.
"...We started to get some turnovers and the life comes back into the sideline," Montomery said. "We have to do a better job of managing our emotions. There are going to be ups and downs. We have to do a better job of not letting those emotions get the best of us."
Scott City fumbled three times and lost two of them in the third quarter with a backup quarterback, but managed a 27-yard field goal that capped an 8-plus minute drive to go up 44-0. But, TMP put together a 55-yard yard scoring drive, kept alive by a 35-yard pass on fourth-and-12 by junior quarterback Max Megaffin to senior Levi Dreiling. Then, Megaffin hit senior Grant Romme for his first TD catch to pull within 44-7.
Romme, who is listed at 5-foot-9, outjumped a defender and pulled it out of his hands for the score.
"He used all of that," Montgomery said. "All of his height, all of his arm reach, and all of that vertical jump he worked so hard for over the summer to get up there and snag that ball out and really pull it away from a defender too."
Romme was one of eight different receivers Megaffin found in finishing 12 of 33 for 169 yards. He also threw an interception on fourth-and-10.
Montgomery was pleased to see Megaffin toss the ball around. In the first half, he missed a few receivers on deep balls that could have been big gains.
"It's no secret (Ryan Mayorga) has been a go-to receiver," Montgomery said. "Anytime Max can spread the ball around forces the defense to not really isolate or focus on one receiver. Now they are having to cover three or four guys every pass play.
"Max did a great job improvising at times. Some times he was running for his life, but he was able to keep his eyes downfield and find an open receiver."
Scott City, after the big first half, finished with 539 yards of offense -- 433 on the ground from 11 different ball carriers. TMP's run game stalled all night and finished with 58 yards. Scott City starting QB Trey O'Neil finished 7 of 8 for 103 yards. Senior Paco Banda led the Beavers' ground game with 14 carries for 129 yards and sophomore Wyatt Kropp scored three TDs on five carries for 84 yards.
TMP can still get in the playoffs with a win Thursday at Hoisington (3-4). The Cardinals upended Russell, 53-14, on Friday.
"As much as this one stings, to know the door is still open and there is something still to fight and play for, that's a huge thing to go into next week with," Montgomery said. "Whoever wants it the most Thursday is going to get it."

Sweden's Official Twitter Has A Lot Of Questions About Jews
(Buzzfeed) — Sonja also says that she "wants to change her name to Hitler in order to clean up the name and help spread a positive message."
People are pretty fired up about this today. I guess Sweden rotates one of their citizens every 7 days and lets them run the official Twitter handle. Obviously that didn't take too long to go awry. But I don't really see what the problem is? Sonja seems like a nice girl who wants to change her name to Hitler and has a few questions about Jewish people. It's not like she was asking how to construct gas chambers or what the best thread count for a human hair pillow is. Just little things like how to spot a Jew and what's the best way to label them. No harm, no foul.
PS — fuck your part Jewish coworker. I feel very strongly about this. I'm extremely racist against part-Jewish/part-Catholics. It's not fair at all. Dudes got to flip-flop between thinking Jesus was a man or a god depending on what holiday season it was. Got to make it rain with their Christmas money meanwhile their Hannukah checks never saw the light of day. Total bullshit. Pick a side, bro. Pick a fucking side. Can't celebrate the birth of Christ, then go change hats and kill him, then come back when it's time for the rising and to hunt for Easter eggs.

TANGMARG: Old transmission lines pose threat to lives,lead to power shortage
Tangmarg, Jan 3: Many villages receiving electricity from Kunzar-grid here in north Kashmir are facing acute power shortage due to deterioration of the transmission infrastructure.
Residents of Bongam, Ketchmatipora, Gonipora, Soipora, Batpora, Manglora, Lalpora, Wussan, Dhobiwan, Waripora, Utikoo, Barzulla, Pinjura, Goigam, Hardebani, Kunzar, Chanpora, Gokhama, Devbugh, Gofabal, Katjan, Awlara, Mulgam, Kralweth and Beeyawah said that since the inception of these transmission lines hardly any repairs have been done. In most villages at many places the electric wires have been made to pass through trees and tied with residential houses. The wires are decayed and fall only with a few inches of snowfall.
The condition of the transmission lines and poles receiving power supply from the grid stations of Tangmarg area is no better. The dilapidated condition of electricity transmission infrastructure in villages, Qazipora, Katipora, Hajibal, Waripora, Ichloo, Khimanderpora, Ratnipora, Zaspora, Reshipora, Maddam, Sulindah, Hardeshoora needs utmost attention of PDD.
Pertinently, a few days back people had narrow escape when an HT Line fell down at Ichloo village creating panic in the area.
The condition of power supply and transmission lines and poles in the far-flung villages of Tangmarg near BabaReshi is also pathetic.
Residents of Chuntipathri, Namblinaar, Alpathri and Pandoori said the lines pass over trees instead of electric poles posing threat to the passers by and the populace of the area. The tale of southern villages viz Traren, Druroo,Rarem, Shrai, Tumberhama, Kulhama, Darhama, Chandil-Wanigam, Gangibaba etc is no better.
The High Tension Transmission lines (HT) in Kunzar and Tangmarg areas have been posing a major threat to the lives and the property of the residents. The HT line passing through villages Gofabal, Devbugh and Awlara upto Kralweth passes over the residential houses in these villages. These wires pose anytime threat to the lives of the people staying in these villages.
There have been short circuits to the Kralweth HT line passing through Gofabal many times, we experience bangs of short circuit during nights at that time our children run out of the houses due to fear and threat said Naseer Ahmad Dar, of Gofabal village. This area got power supply in 1965, since then wires and wooden poles continue to be the same. The HT Line from Kunzar to Kralweth is a big danger to the people as its wooden poles are damaged. Said Bashir Ahmad Ganai, of Kralweth village. We have apprised the PDD authorities time and again about the grim situation with the request to align this HT Line to safeguard the lives and the property of the residents but so for no heed has been paid to our demand, said the residents.
Another HT Line passing through Batpora near Kunzar has been a cause of concern for the villagers and the school teachers as it has a widened the gap between the two consecutive poles near Govt. Middle School Batpora. Due to this wide gap the HT Line is posing a threat to the children of the said school. Whenever there is a wind or rain, the lines touch the branches and extend flames of fire, said Muzaffar Hussain a local teacher.
Yet another HT Line passing through Chakthan-Chanpora near Chandilora poses threat as it is aligned closely with Govt Middle School Chacthan-Chanpora.
In most villages no repairs have been done since the Rural Electrification (RE) Scheme was launched decades before. The population and the topographical scenario of the residential areas have got changed largely since then. Residents and experts feel the dire need of removal and substitution of portable wires, electric poles and other infrastructure in almost all the villages of Tangmarg.
People this winter expect the repairs of damaged and deteriorated infrastructure. Residents of Chanapora village near Kunzar told Greater Kashmir that the wires in the village have deteriorated.
They said they fail to understand that PDD had not enlisted this village for the repairs to be undertaken in near future while as some comparatively-portable wire, that was preserved after the alignment of the HT Line from Kunzar Chanpora bridge to either side, is lying preserved in the village but despite repeated requests, the PDD officials are in no mood to use this wire for replacing the deteriorated wire in the village.
Meanwhile, PDD sources wishing not to be named told that the newly installed 10-MVA Transformers at Kunzar Grid needs proper technical installation for avoiding any failure and power interruptions due to the lack of needed installation infrastructure.
When contacted, Irshad Ahmad, Executive Engineer, Special Electrical Division Tangmarg told Greater Kashmir that they are starting the repair work in some areas in near future. He, however, denied that there was any portable wire lying preserved in Chanpora village near Kunzar. Regarding the danger HT Lines he told that the owners of the residential houses have not sought any permission from Government and have randomly constructed residential houses beneath the HT Lines. When asked whether the PDD had any plans to align or shift these HT Lines, he said that there were no such plans in vogue at present.

First time making Pizza dough....SUCCESS!! Thank you Julia Child!
The fellow and I are big pizza eaters, whether it be from a small pizzeria in our town or a store bought crust and us adding our own ingredients.. I swear, that boy can eat pizza any time of the day!! I have been wanting to try making my own crust (rather than buying from the store) to make pizza's at home.. and it took me until now to try to make it. My momma bought me Julia's Kitchen Wisdom cookbook for Christmas, and after browsing through it I decided to make her pizza dough recipe!! It's about time I made pizza dough from scratch!!
I read through the directions, and it was easy to make.. though I did mess up reading the instructions and made it a little incorrectly kind of (well, not so "kind of" - I did add the wrong amount of water in, and later had to add more flour. But the dough still turned out tasty!! See, that is how easy it is, even when you mess up you can fix this recipe and still have it turn out tasty!!)
Pizza Dough
(from Julia's Kitchen Wisdom Cookbook)
Printer Friendly Version
1 package active dry yeast (a scant Tbsp)
1/3 C. Tepid Water(not over 110 degrees F)
Pinch of sugar
1 C. cold water (plus more if needed)
3 1/2 C. all purpose (or bread) flour (plus more if needed)
1 Tbsp. rye or whole wheat flour
2 1/4 tsp. salt
Proof your yeast! Pour yeast and the pinch of sugar into the 1/3 cup of warm water. Wait 5 minutes, if it is bubbly then it is active and ready to go!! Add the cold water. In a mixing bowl add the flour and salt-start mixing. Slowly add the yeast and water to the flour mixture (if the dough is not the right consistency you can add small amounts of cold water-a little bit at a time). The dough should be soft and pliable, if it is damp and wet add more flour. Let the dough rest. Knead the dough by hand (or your stand mixer-on slow) a hood 50 times.
There are two rises to this dough. For this first rise put the dough in an ungreased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a towel, and place in a warm area (75 degrees F), for about an hour (it may need more time than that)-It should rise to almost double.
When I made the pizza pie's I stopped here. After the dough had risen, I split the dough in half, oiled them, and then wrapped them in plastic wrap and placed them in the freezer. When I was ready to make pizza I just placed one dough ball in the fridge and let it thaw over night, 30 minutes or so before I was ready to use it I took it out of the fridge and opened the plastic and let it sit and come to room temp. Between taking it out of the freezer and letting it sitting at room temp it had puffed up some.
I rolled the dough out....
Added some olive oil mixed with minced garlic, some ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese, threw it in the oven and voila... yummy white pizza!!
Keep in mind, if you do not plan to freeze it like I did you can take your risen dough place it on a floured work space, form it into a rectangle, fold it over it self (think of a business letter tri fold), do this a couple times and then place it back in the bowl (the dough should almost triple in size), once it has risen it is ready to bake!
The fellow and I were both pleased with the taste and texture of the crust!! It turned into a tasty pizza!!
Happy Eating!!

Powerball Results Saturday 15th October 2011
The results of the Powerball that took place on Saturday 15th October show that there were no jackpot winners. Therefore this means that the top prize rolls over for the ninth time and is worth $124 million. The Powerball is definitely a lottery that is known for its impressive jackpots and the last time it surpassed the hundred million mark was at the beginning of September when a winning ticket from Maryland took home $108.8 million. The Powerball results from Saturday night were:
These results show that none of the most common Powerball winning numbers were drawn out in Saturday night's lottery. According to the Powerball statistics the number 20 is one of the most popular numbers to roll out – appearing a total of 45 times since the Powerball rules changed back in 2009. The highest number drawn out at the weekend was 43 and that has appeared just 21 times.
Although no players matched the winning Powerball numbers nine very lucky players won the guaranteed prize of $200,000 by matching up five numbers. Also there were 1,872 players who each took home the $100– which is another guaranteed prize in this American lottery by correctly matching up four of the Powerball numbers drawn. All together there were 912,692 players who each won a prize on the weekends Powerball lottery draw.
So far October hasn't witnessed any jackpot winners in this multi-state lottery so will any players win the top prize that is estimated at $124,000,000 in the next draw that will take place on Wednesday 19th October. Always remember to check the winning Powerball Results immediately after the draws takes place because even if you miss out on winning the jackpot you could still walk away with one of the guaranteed prizes that are available to win!

What Makes for the Perfect Bar? An Excuse to Drink Helps.
Flickr |
The South has produced such excellent establishments in which to drink "with somebody" because we have created such a cornucopia of fine, local, organically grown reasons to drink. Here are a few: Fishing. No fishing. Summer. Failing summer, Mardi Gras. Weeklong cotillions and/or "telephone book" weddings. Recovery from weeklong cotillions and/or "telephone book" weddings. SEC football championship, won. SEC football championship, lost. Cotton crop, good. Cotton crop, bad... The bars of the South have been designed to cradle and nurture this universe of infinite possibility.For a bar to be perfect requires some vetting. On the one hand, it may be on the edge of something big. Lorelei in the Keys is cited as an example, the edge of civilization. Perhaps a spot on the ocean or the Intracoastal will do.
Or it's an absolute fire-trap shithole with great music: "Junior's has since burned to the ground as a result of what we might call terminal juke-joint-ness--meaning, the unholy combination of frayed 1930s wiring in a sharecropper's house and moonshine in the larder."
The common factor is that no one tries too hard. "Junior's effortlessly accomplished that stripped-down thing that often occurs in great Southern bars: It dove for the low end with such force and velocity that it punched through the bottom and came out on top."
I'm still exploring from Palm Beach to the Keys and continue to find great ones, though I haven't yet found mine. Got some nominees for South Florida's perfect bar? If so, leave them in the comments.

It was a reunion for the cast of 12 Years a Slave at the 51st New York Film Festival: Paul Dano, Sarah Paulson, Lupita Nyong'o, Alfre Woodard, and Michael Fassbender all stepped out to celebrate the premiere of their historical drama based on the true story of Solomon Northup (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free married black man who was abducted by slave traders and sold into slavery. The Steve McQueen-directed film previously screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it picked up the People's Choice Award and introduced Nyong'o as a new rising star. "Everything in that movie gives me a great sense of pride," she said to InStyle. "It was actually a very joyful and loving set…we all recognized that we were working on something really powerful and important, and vital." The film also stars Brad Pitt, Paul Giamatti, and opens in theaters on October 18th.

text: Hi, I've noticed that all the listed torrents on the LFS download page are dead. The ftp server I tried was way to slow and it took me some hours to download the lfs-packages-6.2.tar file. So I got the idea to create a new .torrent for having a faster way of downloading the lfs-packages-6.2.tar file and for all the torrent nerds. I've created this torrent on the probably biggest torrent page for linux torrents (www.linuxtracker.org). You can find this torrent here: http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=3806 If you agree to this torrent and so it would be nice to add a link to the new version on your download page. And it would be nice to have some additional seeders there. I'll seed it if my computer is online but thats not 24/7 and my upload speed is limited to 72 KB/s. Another thing is the speed of the listed FTP/HTTP servers. I've chosen the fastest server ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/lfs/ (Brisbane, Australia, 1Gbps) and as mentioned before it took me some time. I've heard that the lfs-matrix.net server is much faster though its only listed with 100Mbps. So maybe it would be useful to add a notice that the planetmirror.com server is very slow and that people rather should use the lfs-matrix.net or any other server (I havent tried every server). greetings, Jonatan

Putting Your HR into Expert Hands
As everyone knows, the most important part of any organisation is its people. Profits can rise or fall, but if a company's employees are unhappy or ill-equipped to do their jobs, then it can be a recipe for disaster. That's why today, HR services are finding themselves in an increased position of responsibility, with the power to increase a company's productivity and profitability. However, effective HR management can also be a considerable task, and one which uses significant resources. So what's the best way to find the right balance?
HR outsourcing, (HRO) has seen tremendous growth in recent years, and could be one answer. With the ability to outsource everything from payroll processing, to, in some cases, a complete HR service, it's clear that many are starting to see the benefits.
Although the concept of HRO has been around for quite some time, it's true that its popularity has been a comparatively recent phenomenon. Indeed, it seems that one of the principle reasons that HRO has matured, is because of the increasing levels of trust companies have placed in the outsourcing procedures in recent years.
There's now an increased understanding of the ways in which outsourcing the 'people needs' within an organisation, with the correct relationship management procedures can help organisations to gain a competitive advantage. More organisations are also waking up to the fact that HRO can provide access to experts and professionals who are able to weave their way through the minefield of HR customs and positively deliver results.
As HRO, and indeed outsourcing, has become more established, organisations are also starting to realise that HRO needn't focus only on taxes, payroll, and benefits. Businesses are now even beginning to outsource hiring and recruitment services – tasks that can take up a large amount of time and a huge amount of resources.
There are a number of reasons why HRO is becoming more and more prevalent. It's clear that costs are an important consideration for any company, and HRO can play a positive role in reducing running costs. The cost benefits can become clear even if a business is outsourcing only a few HR services, while outsourcing the entire range of HR activities deliver outstanding results. By outsourcing HR services, organisations do not need to a dedicated internal HR department, which can save resources and free up staff to work on the core tasks of the business.
In fact, by enabling a streamlined business process for the company, HRO can give companies an increased ability to concentrate on the core tasks and departments, and help them to develop a more focused approach as a result.
So while it's true that a company's people are the most important aspect of a business, it's worth not losing sight of the fact that there are other important considerations to take on board as well. HRO can help provide an efficient service, to professional experts, and produce enviable results.

Talk:Splatting 2D blood in games built with MonoGame
Hamishwillee - Subedited/Reviewed
Hi Artem
I've subedited slightly for wiki style and English readability. It is usually good to have an image up the top, so I've put your final result there. I've also associated the references to do with building the project with the "Code Example". Nothing has been "lost", just moved around.
I've also replaced "Decal" with "Texture mapping" in one or two places. The Wikipedia article redirects to that topic, and I think perhaps Decal is a less well understood terms.
The only other suggestion I have is that we make the title better, since Decals isn't so well know (it was new term to me). How about "Texture mapped blood in 2D using Monogame on Windows Phone" or "Simple 2D texture mapping in Monogame for Windows Phone". I quite like "blood" in the title :-)
Awesome article, as always.
Hhamishwillee 07:00, 29 May 2013 (EEST)
This is ridiculous - Decals -> Texture Mapping
Hi! Thanks for editing. I disagree to replace the terms. Decals is a pretty well known term in graphics and game development. Also it is a bit different thing than the common texture mapping. I've seen that Wikipedia article. And it seems a bit strange to me. However if you search Google for the term "Decals in games" there will be lots of links to Unreal, Valve, Unity development networks that cover the topic in their respective area. But those are for 3D. And there this would be called texture mapping. However I you add "2D" to the search phrase you will find nothing on the topic. At least until now :) . I've been searching for this for a pretty long time until I gave up and rolled out my own.
So personally I think if we change decals to texture maps this will be even more confusing due to we don't do any of texture mapping here by our selves.this_is_ridiculous 08:45, 29 May 2013 (EEST)
Hamishwillee - Its your article!
Hi Artem
It is your article and you know the domain, so I am happy for you to use the term decal and change it back. Best you do it to make sure its done right. OK?
The title is still a bit ugly though - how about "Mapping blood in 2D games with Monogame on Windows Phone" or "Simple 2D decal system in Monogame for Windows Phone". I quite like "blood" in the title :-)
Hhamishwillee 08:20, 30 May 2013 (EEST)
This is ridiculous - Title
I'm OK with "Mapping blood in 2D games with MonoGame on Windows Phone" title. Or even "Splatting 2D blood in games built with MonoGame". However I don't know how to change it ^_^.this_is_ridiculous 09:49, 30 May 2013 (EEST)
Hamishwillee - Splatting, definitely
Technically the English word is "splattering", but I really like "Splatting", so title changed as you suggested :-) FYI, title are moved using the "Move" menu item, which is in select next to the little "eye" icon at top right of page.
Thanks again. I'm happy with this and will delete my comments next time round.
Hhamishwillee 09:23, 3 June 2013 (EEST)
This is ridiculous - Splatting, definitely
Yeah, I know that it's more correct to say splattering. But in this particular case it didn't sound right. So I decided to give a try.
Concerning deleting comments. I doubt this is a good idea. Those comments really show the history of an article. And the way it was improved over time.this_is_ridiculous 12:37, 3 June 2013 (EEST)
Hamishwillee - Up to you
Normally we try to integrate comments and then delete them - the version displayed should be "canonical". If people want to have the history, they can access it through the history tab.

Praisegod Barebones
5 Annotations
Emilio • Link
A well-known leather-seller and preacher from the period surrounding the Civil War. He seems never to have gotten much respect: In the early 1640s he drew large crowds to hear his preaching, but from early on he also drew opposition and ridicule for his extreme views. In 1653 Cromwell appointed him to a short-lived replacement for the Rump Parliament, the much despised 'Barebone's Parliament'; according to Maureen (anno for 10 March, 1659/60, http://www.pepysdiary.com/diary/1660/03/10/#c2897 ) this was also known as the Bluestocking Parliament for their taste in accessories. Barebones, however, does not seem to have contributed much to the group other than a derisive nickname. He was also a member of the Fifth Monarchy Men, a millenarian group that saw Cromwell's rule as a preparation for the 'fifth monarchy,' which would lead to Christ's thousand-year reign.
At the time of the Restoration, Barbones was a hard-core anti-royalist. On 11 Feb. 1659/60 he presented the Rump with a resolution that would require office-holders to take an oath opposing the Stuarts and make working for a restoration an act of treason. This proposal was not well received by Londoners, who broke the windows in his house repeatedly and likely threatened him. On 31 March he signed an agreement not to disturb the peace. In late 1661 he was arrested on suspicion of being involved with a plot by other Fifth Monarchists and held in the Tower for eight months. After that he seems to have kept a very low profile until he died in 1680.
Source for most of the above: 1911 encyclopedia
1911 encyclopedia entry (from anno by Roger Miller, 11 Feb, 1659/60):
More on Barebone's Parliament (from anno by Rita, 12 Feb, 1659/60):
Emilio • Link
Pepys had early contact with Barebones and his preaching. This is from Tomalin's biography, p. 13:
"[Pepys and his brothers] grew accustomed to hearing puritan preachers in the street. In 1640 a local leather-seller called Praisegod Barebones set up his Baptist congregation right outside, in Fleet Street [next to St. Bride's Church]. Baptist ministers saw no need for church buildings, supporting themselves by working at other jobs and welcomed women as preachers."
Politically Barebones may have been a joke around London, but his religious views seem to have been admirable in many ways. The quote above shows him taking very seriously the example of the early disciples, and the 1911 encyclopedia says he showed "a spirit of wide religious tolerance."
Emilio • Link
Interestingly, his son Nicholas seems to have done much better than Barebones himself.
Tomalin's biography, citing N.G. Brett-James, The Growth of Stuart London, calls him the "architect" of Will Hewer's house at No. 12, York Buildings, Buckingham Street (p. 421, n. 2). According to the Companion, it seems more likely Nicholas simply arranged for the construction while he was off doing other things: "Nicholas, a physician and property developer, is credited with the introduction of fire insurance."
Oh, what a difference a generation makes . . .
Leo Hollis • Link
Nicholas Barbon was in fact one of the most interesting and colourful characters in post restoration London. The apple had indeed fallen far from is father's tree as he was the first man to profit from the Great Fire of 1666 by setting up The Pheonix, the first fire insurance company. He was one of the leading builder speculators of his day transforming new areas of London's growth including St James Sq, the Strand, Holborn and Soho. In many ways he can be seen as one of the inventors of modern London living, the terraced house.
He was also cited by Karl Marx for his writings: A Builder's Apology and his writing on banking in the 1680s where he went head to head with John Locke in a dispute on the value of commodities. He also was an innovator by creating the first land bank, that failed only with the foundation of the Bank of England and an orphan bank
That being said, he was a total huckster who would rather go into debt than borrow money (the interest was smaller) would bamboozle and strong arm his clients and opponents. As one historian commented: he was a total humbug but his flair for business almost reached the level of genius.
Bill • Link
Barebone, who was by occupation a leather-feller, was one of the most active, if not the most able members of the parliament assembled by Cromwell, which took its denomination from his name. When Monck came to London, with a view of restoring the king, and was intent upon the re-admission of the secluded members, this man appeared at the head of a numerous rabble of fanatics, which was alarming even to that intrepid general. A petition was presented by their leader to the parliament, for the exclusion of the king and the royal family. Monck, who knew the popularity of Barebone, was obliged to make a general muster of his army, and wrote a letter to the parliament, in which he expostulated with them for giving too much countenance to that furious zealot and his adherents.

- " Located one block off main street for all the great Lapa nightlife, felt secure walking around at night but be careful for pickpockets and several people from the hostel lost their phones while out in Lapa at night. About 10 minute walk to metro, we had no difficulties. Pretty run down hostel on the interior but again a hostel, bathrooms could be cleaner, rooms could be cleaner. Was the worst of hostels I stayed in Brazil. We also booked a 10 bed room but were placed in a 20 bed room. "

- " Great spot, great vibes, really cool group of people working there. It's a party hostel in the heart of Rio's party zone, so, be prepared to get wild lol. Classical style house with the big shutter windows so plenty of light and air in the room (20 bed). Bathrooms were fine, but the mattresses were only OK and the wi-fi was pretty poor. That said, I feel like they managed to keep reasonable order during the chaos of the World Cup. What I got from this place was good times with good people. "

Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford has said the studio intends to release more campaign DLC for Borderlands 2.
While last month's Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep DLC pack was the fourth and final campaign expansion announced as part of the game's season pass, Pitchford told Nerdist (via MP1st):
"We did a season pass for Borderlands 2 and the season pass was like hey, if you buy the season pass we would be doing four campaign add-ons and you can buy all four of them for the price of three, if you buy upfront. So everyone was under the expectation that those would be the four DLCs and that's it.
"We are going to do more, we are going to do some other things. I don't have details exactly of it yet because were not ready to announce what the other things are, but when the next campaign DLC comes Assault On Dragon Keep not being the end of it.
"We got more stuff in the hopper that we're planning and getting pretty excited about. So if your a Borderlands 2 fan you don't have to be afraid that that's the end of it."
Pitchford also reportedly said Gearbox plans to develop an original IP for next-gen consoles, although he didn't offer any further details.
In February, publisher Take-Two claimed Borderlands 2 sales were approaching the six million milestone. It also released the Borderlands 2: Add-On Content Pack at retail, which features the game's first two expansion packs.

So i went and checked again, maybe i did measure wrong the first time. This time i set my caliper to 4mm directly and tried to pass it over the ball. The ball will hang from the caliper and will not pass at 4mm. It's not even close. So what is going on here then? Why don't you tell me? why won't this work for the align/savox servo arm mod? ImagesView all Images in thread
Jun 05, 2012, 01:06 AM | |
Ok, now I'm even more confused because I went and checked all of my links. I understand now where some discrepancy is coming from.
I still don't see why these balls won't work anyway? If you look at the pictures in my last post. I am using a v450 ball link (part #HM-V450D01-Z-07) the label from the package is laying right there and it is attached to the blade 450 ball and the walkera swash at the same time. I don't see the problem. Unless I have some seriously different swash parts from Walkera? The Swash balls are bigger than the stock servo arm balls. ImagesView all Images in thread |

I hear you on the busy tip, Gaui puts out a nice product if I had an X7 project going....... I surely would put the V450 back in the closet Well the blog is there if and when you decide to rebuild and fly or rebuild and sell it should be finished. Im probably going to let go of mine eventually too and go for a larger bird as I already have a Trex 450 Pro FL that is my weekend flyer. It's been a lot of fun doing the blog though and getting into this heli's core. |

Do you have training gear that you can use just to get confidence as you get light on the skids that she's not gonna flip on ya? At worst, two 1m rods across the landing gear to prevent a side roll-over. Damn! Even I'm nervous for you!! Good luck Biggie! |

Well, actually that is the whole point of training gear... that it slows the flip speed because it actually has to lift the whole heli around a fulcrum which is further away from the centre of force.
Just make sure you cable tie them on tight and so they can't slide about. Don't need to try to fly with it on. It's just to check that she's going to react in a predictable manner. Though, ultimately - it's up to you. I'm just thinking that if you have changed the RX settings a long way from where they were before it might take a pack to really get a feel for how she's reacting now. |

Oh! They just stuck a new RX in the 450... 6 axis RX2703H-D.
http://www.ehirobo.com/shop/product_...ducts_id=11882 Not really sure why you need 6 axis in a heli like this - the whole point is to fly the damn thing not just hover it! Still, it's probably as cheap just to put it in there with a switch to disable it as not. |
Jun 06, 2012, 10:31 PM | |||
Eh hem this is Walkera "Flagship" 450 after all LOL. All kidding aside, Im glad they kept it, thats good for everybody because it means another year or two of parts support.....at least. |
Jun 07, 2012, 08:05 AM | |
Looks like they changed a few things, new swashplate with a screw down bearing, longer throw arms on the blade grips and swash, larger head button and new tail sleeves on the tail blade grip arms.... Wonder how these will effect buying parts for this heli in the future, as it seems the new Devo 3G RX will have more head movement.

Order Flagyl, Try it. Tuesdays - "The Notebook" (Doodle Pillow)
My kids have been really into drawing these days. Cheap Flagyl, So much so that they've set up their own little art gallery:
Their most frequent visitor:
The first thing they said to me after opening their gallery (which, of all 12 rooms of the house, they chose the living/formal/piano room) was: "Don't take them down okay Mommy?, Flagyl from canada. Just leave them there!"
Despite being in a not-so-ideal location, Flagyl wiki, their drawings are pretty darn cute (I am biased, of course) and always make me smile. So I decided to take their art a step further and create throw pillow covers from them, japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, hence, Flagyl dose, this week's project:
A simple "envelope" style cover for a 16" pillow. This would make a cute Valentine's Day project for a grandparent, Order Flagyl.
- blue-ish and red-ish thread for the "notebook paper" look
- white fabric (a 16.5" x 16.5" square, a 16.5" by 11.5" rectangle, Flagyl without prescription, and a 16.5" by 8.5" rectangle)
- embroidery thread and needle in your choice of color(s). After Flagyl, Optional. I did not use these.
- your child's drawing
- With the square (front) piece of fabric, Flagyl results, use a pencil and draw a horizontal line across the width of the pillow, Flagyl australia, uk, us, usa, 3/4" from the bottom edge.
- From this bottom line, draw 21 more lines across the width of the pillow so that they are 1/2" apart.
- Draw a line perpendicular to all the lines you just drew, 3.75" from the edge (this is your left margin rule), purchase Flagyl.
- Order Flagyl, With your blue-ish thread, stitch across all 21 lines. I set my stitch length to 5 (the longest stitch); With your red-ish thread, Order Flagyl online c.o.d, stitch down the left margin line.
Ta da. You've now completed your very own notebook fabric.
There are many ways to "transfer" you child's drawing onto the pillow, Flagyl from canadian pharmacy. You can embroider it on, Purchase Flagyl online no prescription, draw it on, or machine-stitch it on, which is what I did (since I don't own any embroidery needles or thread), kjøpe Flagyl på nett, köpa Flagyl online. This part is up to you, Order Flagyl. But here is how I did mine:
- Position the original drawing under your notebook fabric and trace with a pencil.
- Set your machine stitching to reinforcement stitching (2 or 3 stitches at a time).
- Stitch along the traced image, Flagyl treatment, lifting up the foot and pivoting to get around curves.
With the front completed, all that's left to do is putting together the pieces:
- Take the two rectangular pieces of fabric and, for each, serge/zig-zag down one of the long sides (16.25" side). Turn the serged side over 1/4" and stitch down, creating a hem.
- With right-sides facing one another, place the larger of the two rectangles on top of your front piece, lining the raw edges together. Pin in place.
- Place the smaller of the two rectangles on top of your front piece (and overlapping the other rectangle), lining the raw edges together. Pin in place.
- Straight-stitch down the perimeter of the square, 1/4" from the edge and serge/zig-zag all the way around.
Now turn your cover right-side out, stuff your pillow inside and...
Yay. A cute little pillow featuring the world's best art ;).

Scholarships & Bursaries
At Liverpool John Moores University we offer a range of funds and scholarships, some of which focus on rewarding excellence and ability and others to alleviate the financial pressures experienced by students.
LJMU provides students a truly unique higher education experience; one that places work-related learning and skills development at the heart of every undergraduate degree without compromising on the academic quality of our programmes. Our mission is to serve and enrich our students and communities by providing opportunities for advancement through education, training, research and the transfer of knowledge.
LJMU is a contemporary university in one of the most famous cities in the world and we aim to give people the opportunity to maximise their potential in an environment that is stimulating, challenging and exciting, and are particularly committed to providing opportunities for talented people from backgrounds where a university education is not always seen as a viable option.
This is why we offer a comprehensive range of Scholarships and Bursaries to help our students throughout their studies, and ensure they can 'Dream Plan Achieve'. As well as LJMU's Opportunity Fund we are particularly fortunate and privileged to be supported by a number of generous individuals, members of staff at LJMU, companies and organisations who also fund Scholarships, Bursaries and Prizes in their name.
Establishing a Scholarship, Prize or Bursary is an excellent way of helping to ensure that the most gifted students, regardless of their circumstances, can have the opportunity to study at LJMU and achieve their dreams.
If you are a student at LJMU and require financial support, to discuss your needs and how to apply for scholarships and bursaries, please contact Student Advice & Wellbeing on 0151 904 6057.
If you are contemplating establishing a new Scholarship, Prize or Bursary at LJMU, please speak initially with Colette Glanvill on 0151 231 3292.
The University extends its thanks as always to the many individuals and organisations for their wonderful support which creates unique opportunities for our students here at LJMU.
Ways to Give
On-Line Giving Page
Give As You Earn
Thank you for choosing to make a real difference to the University and to our students. There are a number of ways of contributing financially to the future of Liverpool John Moores University, to provide facilities and support students, be a part of capital projects, enhance academic programmes and participate in the community around us, which simply isn't possible from government funding alone.
Your gift to our annual fund provides valuable, financial support throughout the University for various projects and initiatives. Alternatively, if you would like your gift to be directed to a specific project within the University, please contact our Development Manager who will be happy to discuss your thoughts.
You can make your donation to Liverpool John Moores University in a number of ways including by cheque (payable to 'LJMU'), credit card, direct debit or by Give As You Earn. Thanks to the government's Gift Aid regulations, enabling charities to reclaim the basic rate of tax on donations, you can increase the value of your gift to the University at no extra cost to you.
Single gifts
The University accepts all major credit cards, cheque payments, CAF vouchers and electronic fund transfer. You can also donate shares, securities and properties, as well as gifts in kind.
Online single gifts
You can make a secure gift to the University using our online donation page by credit card.
Regular and committed giving
Many donors choose to make a regular gift, making payments on a monthly, quarterly or bi-annual basis by setting up a direct debit. This not only helps the donor budget their payments and perhaps allows for a more substantial gift, but it is also particularly valuable to the university as it creates dependable income which allows both long term planning of funding and flexibility to respond to needs as they arise.
Giving tax effectively
The Gift Aid scheme enables us to claim back the tax on gifts from UK taxpayers, increasing the value of the gift by 28% at no extra cost to you. For every one pound you give, we get an extra 28 pence - that's almost a third again extra and it doesn't cost you a penny. If you are a higher rate taxpayer, you can reclaim an additional 18% personal tax relief against the value of your gift; the difference between the higher rate of tax that you pay and the basic rate, which can be reclaimed in your own tax return.
In addition, gifts of stock and property can be given with very significant tax relief to the donor.
Most gifts of shares enable the donor to receive income tax relief based on 100% of the market value of the shares given in addition to capital gains tax relief. If you would like to discuss making a gift of shares to LJMU, please contact our office on 0151 231 3292.
Please note that donations made by CAF voucher or Give As You Earn are not eligible for Gift Aid.
Give As You Earn
LJMU operates the charitable giving scheme 'Give As You Earn' (GAYE) which is the simplest way to give to charity direct from your pay, tax free.
GAYE is the most tax-effective way for individuals to donate regularly as your contribution is deducted from your salary before tax. So, for every £10.00 you give, it will only cost you £7.80 because you save £2.20 as the basic tax rate (higher rate tax payers will only pay £6.00).
Remembering LJMU by leaving a legacy
Remembering Liverpool John Moores University in your will provides a lasting legacy of support. Pledges of this kind, large or small, are greatly appreciated. They are extremely important to the long-term future of the University in benefiting generations of students.
Your solicitor can advise you on the best way to record your intentions but please feel free to contact our office on 0151 231 3292 to discuss your wishes and how you would like your gift to be used.

How to Archive E-mails with Adobe Acrobat
By Simon Hurst
As part of the installation of Adobe Acrobat, Acrobat toolbars and menu items are added to the main Microsoft Office programs, including Microsoft Outlook. For Word, PowerPoint and Excel these additional options allow the current "document" to be converted into a PDF file and can then go on to initiate distribution by e-mail or for review.
The Acrobat additions to Outlook are somewhat different. They are still concerned with converting to PDF, but go beyond converting individual e-mails and help convert groups of selected e-mails, or whole folders, into a PDF file. It is also possible to update a PDF created in this way with recent e-mails by adding to an existing file, rather than just creating a new one.
Acrobat's integration with Outlook is an area that has been significantly improved in the latest version of Acrobat – version 8.0. As well as converting e-mails to the new "PDF package" format which can contain a combination of PDF and non-PDF files, Acrobat 8 adds an Automatic Archival feature that can be set up to automatically add new e-mails to a chosen PDF package or packages. While this article will focus on Microsoft Outlook, the same Acrobat facilities are available for Lotus Notes users.
Importance of E-mails to Paperless Office System
Businesses are increasingly moving towards providing access to electronic versions of stored documents. Saving outgoing documents in electronic form, and scanning incoming paper-based documents goes some way to achieving the aim of the paperless office but as more and more vital information is exchanged via e-mail, failing to incorporate e-mails into the electronic document store leaves a big gap. Many dedicated document management systems do include the capability to include e-mails, but for organizations that don't have such a system, a simple and reliable method of retaining and retrieving e-mails can be a great advantage. Saving groups of e-mails as PDF files could be a way of achieving this.
Why PDF?
Leaving e-mails within Outlook's own storage system can be problematic. In all but the smallest organizations it can strain network storage limits and make the entire e-mail system less efficient and less easy to manage. Trying to find individual e-mails or selections of e-mails can often be difficult and time-consuming. It is also difficult to prove the integrity of an e-mail when, in its native format, it can easily be edited without leaving any sort of audit trail. It can also be difficult to incorporate Outlook storage folders in routine backup procedures, or to provide universal access – particularly if people store them on their own hard drives.

By converting e-mail messages to PDFs, organizations gain increased control over the integrity of e-mails with the ability to apply Acrobat security settings to the converted files. As a PDF file, the full range of Acrobat and Adobe Reader commenting and review tools can be made available, enabling users to add comments and annotations to e-mail messages. Converting e-mails to PDF format also allows an e-mail exchange to be incorporated as an integral part of a single PDF file that also contains converted Word, Excel and scanned incoming documents. This complete electronic record could then be shared and distributed as required.
In addition to using the PDF format to integrate normal e-mail messages into a document management system, the technique would also work very well in making the information in e-mailed newsletters or similar resources generally and easily available. For example, an Outlook rule could be set up to move all AccountingWEB IT Zone newswires to a separate folder. The contents of this folder could then be converted into a PDF file that would be available for anyone who needed it read and comment upon it. Additional newswires could be added periodically. In the case of Acrobat 8.0, the process of keeping the PDF file up to date could be completely automated, as we shall see later.
How to Convert E-mails to PDF Format
First of all, we'll look at the general techniques of converting messages to PDF files that are applicable both to Acrobat versions 7 and 8, then we'll go on to look at the enhancements that version 8 provides in this area.
The Acrobat toolbar and menu in Outlook provide the ability to convert either selected messages, or selected folders to a new PDF file or to add them to an existing PDF file. The Change conversion settings options cover, among other things, whether attachments should be included in the resulting file, and the PDF security settings to be applied. Once the conversion settings have been set, you simply select the e-mails or whole folders that you wish to convert, and then choose the appropriate menu or toolbar button. Here we have used Outlook's Look for option to find a group of e-mails, and then selected them all. We have then chosen the Convert to Adobe PDF-Selected Messages option.
We will be prompted for a file name, and then a PDF file of that name will be created containing our messages. The contents of the resulting PDF file can be arranged by attributes such as Date, Sender or Subject. You can also use the Edit-Search Option within Acrobat or Adobe Reader to find particular words or phrases. If we receive or send further e-mails that belong in this PDF file, we can select them and then use the Convert and Append to Existing Adobe PDF option to add them.
If we chose to include attachments in our PDF then they will also be available. Because of the privacy options in Outlook, linked graphics will not be included unless you chose to download them in Outlook prior to converting the message. However, links to such graphics, and other hyperlinks will be "live" in the PDF file.
Acrobat 8.0 Enhancements
As mentioned above, the 8.0 versions of Acrobat considerably enhance the Acrobat features available from Outlook. Firstly, the output PDF file can now be set to the new PDF Package format – this enables the inclusion of PDF and non-PDF content in a single file. A PDF Package includes a navigation bar and a "list" of all the components. Right-clicking in this list allows you to choose which attributes of the files within the package you wish to view and sort by. This extends the range of options by which you can sort your emails from date, sender and subject to also include name, original folder location, size, attachments and date modified.
Another feature of an Acrobat 8.0 PDF that can be incorporated into a file created from e-mail messages is the built in index. Whilst Acrobat and Adobe Reader's built-in search tool is pretty rapid anyway, if you choose the Conversion Setting option "Embed index for faster search", searches within your PDF become almost instant. Here we have searched our e-mail package for the word '-"office". As you can see, the Search window displays a hierarchical view of the components of the package, and the references to "office" within each component. Clicking on any of the entries will display that part of the package.
Perhaps the most useful of the Acrobat 8 e-mail conversion enhancements is the ability to automate the entire conversion process. The Outlook Adobe PDF menu includes a Set up Automatic Archival option.
We can set up a schedule for when the automatic archive will run and choose whether or not to maintain a log of archive events. In addition we can choose to embed an index for faster search as previously described.
To include particular folders in the Automatic Archival list, just click on the Add button. This will display a list of the Outlook message folders with the ability to tick as many as required to select them for archival. You can then set up a new file to be created when the archival is first run, or choose an existing file to which archived items will be added. If you need to archive different folders to different files, you can just add further archival folder/file combinations.

(Flash video above, downloadable MP4 is here.)
Greetings from the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show in Lost Wages, Nevada! Xeni here with the Boing Boing Gadgets fellas — Beschizza, Brownlee, and Johnson, and Boing Boing's video production team. We're traveling the floor with the BBG 3, surveilling all they review, and we'll be filing daily video reports from the expo floor. Here is the first, embedded above.
Highlights from this episode:
* So you've probably heard there's an "Official Blog of CES," right? So, screw those guys, we're more awesome. In this episode, Gary Shapiro CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association (the group that puts on CES) dubs Joel Johnson the Official King of CES, then bows down to him and touches Joel's invizibul robe.
* Rob Beschizza shows us what he likes about the new netbooks from Asus, namely the screens you can swivel around to use as touch-sensitive tablets (disclaimer: Asus is sponsoring BB Video's presence at CES, but not BB Gadgets. Rob actually didn't know anything about it at the time, so this isn't paid placement or editorial whoring).
* Joel grills the everliving crap out of the poor guy tasked with representing Sharper Image here. Joel was a big fan of the early incarnation of the mega-gadgets chain store, but believes they went to hell before they were recently bought out and resurrected. Joel's advice to the new guy: don't speak to us in marketingese, please, and stop making crappy products.
* Joel talks with the guys at WowWee about a Spyball for children — baby's first panopticon! $150 device, shaped like a play ball, includes cameras to spy on other playmates. WTF.
* Xeni snuggles with robotic stuffed animals from WowWee that respond to human touch with emotive facial expressions, grunts, growls, and body movements. Verdict: cute, also creepy, definitely from the Uncanny Valley.
* Beschizza and Joel perform the first of what will likely be many schwag booze taste tests. Today: whiskey from the hosted bar, plus tiny energy drinks some wireless networking company was giving out. Mix them together, and you get what Joel describes as "there's nothing not awful about this it's just plain bad."
Next episode: we are accosted in the dark of night, on the streets of Vegas, by inebriated Canadian chemical engineers dressed as Yeti Furries.
Sponsor shout-out: Boing Boing Video coverage of CES 2009 is sponsored by WEPC.com, in partnership with Intel and Asus. WePC.com is intended to be a site where users come together to "share ideas, images and inspiration about the ideal PC." Participants' designs, feature ideas and community feedback will be evaluated by ASUS and "could influence the blueprint for an actual notebook PC built by ASUS with Intel inside."
