In recent genetic association studies, common variants including rs12917707 in the UMOD locus have shown strong evidence of association with eGFR, prevalent and incident chronic kidney disease and uromodulin urinary concentration in general population cohorts. The association of rs12917707 with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in a recent case-control study was only nominally significant.
To investigate whether rs12917707 associates with ESRD, graft failure (GF) and urinary uromodulin levels in an independent cohort, we genotyped 1142 ESRD patients receiving a renal transplantation and 1184 kidney donors as controls. After transplantation, 1066 renal transplant recipients were followed up for GF. Urinary uromodulin concentration was measured at median [IQR] 4.2 [2.2-6.1] yrs after kidney transplantation.
The rs12917707 minor allele showed association with lower risk of ESRD (OR 0.89 [0.76-1.03], p = 0.04) consistent in effect size and direction with the previous report (Böger et al, PLoS Genet 2011). Meta-analysis of these findings showed significant association of rs12917707 with ESRD (OR 0.91 [0.85-98], p = 0.008). In contrast, rs12917707 was not associated with incidence of GF. Urinary uromodulin concentration was lower in recipients-carriers of the donor rs12917707 minor allele as compared to non-carriers, again consistent with previous observations in general population cohorts.
Our study thus corroborates earlier evidence and independently confirms the association between UMOD and ESRD.

Hills wins multi-million dollar contract
PUBLISHED: 07 Nov 2012 11:24:00 | UPDATED: 07 Nov 2012 11:29:58PRINT EDITION: 07 Nov 2012Hills Holdings managing director Ted Pretty described the four-year deal as a major breakthrough for the company's electronics unit. Photo:
Troubled manufacturer Hills Holdings has won a multi-million dollar contract to provide satellite communications for the federal Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
STEP Electronics, part of Hills' expanding electronics and communications business, will design, supply and install a global satellite network for 51 Australian embassies and other department offices around the world.
The four-year contract win was a major breakthrough for Hills' electronics division, managing director Ted Pretty said.
Other areas of its business are set to be scaled back under a restructure announced last week, including its roofing business Fielders, Orrcon Steel and the company's lifestyle and sustainability businesses, which includes brands such as the Hills Hoist.
The changes are expected to cost the company as much as $110 million, and are being made due to slower economic conditions and weak construction activity.

Though we are deep into Lent, today we celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation.
However, did you know that today is the feast day of the "Good Thief", known by tradition as St. Dismas?
I have sometimes wondered about the choice of this day, of all days, for St. Dismas. Could it be that the reflection of the Church's holy shepherds led them to imagine that Our Lady, standing on Calvary at the foot of the Cross, was not in her charity praying, interceding also for the two men being crucified with her dying Son? Just a thought.
Here is his entry from the Martyrologium Romanum:
2. Commemoratio sancti latronis, qui, in cruce Christum confessus, ab eo meruit audire: "Hodie mecum eris in paradiso".
Can you imagine, even through that kind of suffering, to hear those words?
"Today you will be with me in paradise."
Think: Last Rites.
Our Lord gave to us in Holy Church the ordinary means for our salvation.
We have the sacraments and the Church's teaching on faith and morals.
No matter what sort of sins we have committed, Our Lord is ready for us with unbounded mercy.
Holy Church is the refuge of sinners and it is precisely for the likes of us that He came to live and to die.
He died between two thieves for company, after all.
Let us show gratitude to the Lord for all His good gifts by using the sacraments well, by hearing and accepting the Church's teachings, and by upright lives full of good works.

Ithaca Developer Approved for $70k Grant to Rehab Property in Downtown Cortland
Wednesday, September 18, 2013
The Cortland City Council has approved a $70 thousand dollar grant to a Main Street property owner who plans to fix up his building and create apartments on the second and third floors.
The City Council voted in favor giving Mark Zaharis of Ithaca $70 thousand dollars to help renovate the former JJ Newbery building at 45-49 Main Street. Zaharis plan to renovate the upper floors to create 6 new apartments as well as update the exterior of the building. The total project cost is around $650 thousand dollars.
The work follows the recently adopted downtown tax abatement program, the program locks the property assessment at pre-renovation levels meaning any new construction or updates on the upper floors will not result in an increase in the property assessment for at least 20 years. The goal of the abatement is to slow the increase in property taxes the building owners pay, in exchange the property owners create new housing to attract more residential living downtown and grow local sales tax receipts.
In previous interviews Zaharis said he plans to purchase the former B-T Jones building at the corner of Main and Court Street for a similar project, he would add another six apartments to the upper floors of that property which has sat idle since a fire in 2005.

State of the state: Retail
Frozen yogurt shops descend on Denver
Patricia Kaowthumrong
Even the most oblivious consumer cannot help but notice the frozen yogurt shops popping up on every other street corner in the Denver metropolitan area. Every store or chain has a different colorful sign, playful interiors and gourmet flavors. However, they all have one thing in common - a desire to conquer Colorado's frozen yogurt market. But why the sudden yogurt craze in the Mile High City?
Melissa Bradley, local operator of Yogurtland, a self-serve yogurt chain from Anaheim, Calif., said it is because Coloradans are so in tune with health and fitness.
"One of the reasons frozen yogurt is so popular is because it is a healthier alternative to other dessert options out there," Bradley said. "I believe nowadays people are more health conscious that they were before, and I think that's why the Denver market has done so well."
The Trust for America's Health and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's annual "F as in Fat" report from 2010 has Colorado listed as the only state in the union with an obesity rate of less than 20 percent. Obesity is defined as a body mass index of 30 or higher (180 or more pounds for a 5'5' person).
Bradley and her partners bought the rights to open 10 Yogurtland stores on the Front Range by the end of 2013. They already have three stores open and one under construction. Bradley said her goals as an operator are to have the cleanest stores with the best customer service.
But dessert lovers don't have to sacrifice taste for health. Yogurtland and most other stores feature the plain tart frozen yogurt flavor, but they also have flavors like "Red Velvet Cupcake Batter" and "Lychee Tart." In addition, customers can choose from a self-serve bar of diverse toppings like fresh fruit, chocolate covered peanut butter cookies and sour gummy worms. All their flavors besides peanut butter are fat free.
Red Mango, another chain with the self-service concept, has four stores in Colorado and one under construction. Dan Kim, founder and operator, said Red Mango's success in the state wasn't a surprise at all.
"We are looking forward to opening more stores," Kim said. "We value being in a state that values health as much as we do."
Kim said Red Mango draws customers with its focus on having only all-natural ingredients and having more to offer than just frozen yogurt.
Smooch, a locally owned and operated shop in Boulder, features frozen yogurt, 21 flavors of mochi, smoothies and cheese. They parted with their franchise Ce Fiore in January 2010 to better serve their customers, said co-owner Michella Luu. She said the rise of competition hasn't affected business much in the last few months.
"There is potential for an oversaturation like there was in L.A.- a huge boom and then many stores closing," Luu said.
Luu said the key to success is staying ahead of the game and listening to customers. Coloradans' fit reputations may have drawn frozen yogurt stores to their soil, but it will truly be survival of the fittest when it comes to which stores survive.

Don't be lulled, says NOAA. This morning it updated its hurricane outlook for this year, and basically stuck to its guns, giving much the same numbers it had in May. The summary is HERE. It predicts: –13-16 named storms (down from 13-17)
–7-9 of those are likely to be hurricanes, with winds over 75 miles an hour (the May number was 7-10)
–3-5 "major" hurricanes–Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Scale, with winds over 110 miles an hour. Gerry Bell, the lead hurricane forecaster at NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, cites three reasons to believe the season is still likely to be an active one: –Since 1995 we've been in the active part of the "Multi-Decadal Cycle" that typically lasts 25-40 years. During these periods, winds and temperatures favor storm formation. Since 1995, 9 of 12 hurricane seasons have been above average.
–The tropical Atlantic and Caribbean are both warmer than normal, providing fuel for storms.
–There appears to be a decent chance that a La Nina will form in the Pacific. You'll recall that a La Nina–the opposite of an El Nino–is a giant stripe of cooler-than-average water along the equator in the Pacific. It tends to rearrange the jet streams blowing over it. An El Nino tends to steer the jet streams southward as they reach the Atlantic–shearing the tops off of some hurricanes that would otherwise hit the U.S. coast. In the case of a La Nina, no such luck. "This combination is known to produce very active seasons," said Bell in a teleconference a little while ago. How can this be, when the season's been so quiet so far? One graph that's useful is HERE, showing that early storms–June to mid-August–are really very rare. There have been three named storms in the Atlantic so far this year; NOAA says there are typically two. The peak of the season is still a month away, in mid-September. Bell cautions that all they're offering is a forecast of prevailing conditions for this year, and giving the number of storms that tend to form in similar years. They cannot say when or where specific storms might yet be, though Bell says that in years that looked like this one, there have, on average, been 2-4 storms that made landfall in the U.S.
======================== Added Note: To Wes, Chuck, Andy, and all others who may pass this way–it's great to hear your voices…or see your posts…or whatever.
Wes and Chuck asked for more about the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, which seems to be a major factor in the number of hurricanes each year, and I'm happy to oblige. NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory has done a helpful Q&A on it, which you can find HERE.
Nobody can say how long the "warm" phase of the cycle lasts; the best estimate is 25-40 years, which means that if the current phase began in 1995, it has another 15-30 years to go. The last "cold period," when there were consistently fewer hurricanes, seems to have run through the 1970s and 80s, though it was only in the 1990s that meteorologists really caught on to it.
Andy, I'm not in the least worried about hurricanes. I'm totally freaked out about those colliding galaxies.

GADD153, a ubiquitously expressed member of the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) family is induced by a wide variety of growth-arresting and DNA-damaging agents. Functionally, GADD153 has been postulated to act as a dominant-negative regulator of C/EBPs. Therefore we sought to gain evidence for interactions between GADD153 and other C/EBPs during cellular responses to stress. In this report we have demonstrated that treatment of rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells with sodium arsenite leads to enhanced expression of C/EBP-beta and GADD153 (growth arrest and DNA damage inducible gene 153) but not other C/EBPs. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments provided evidence for the formation of endogenous GADD153-C/EBP-beta complexes in arsenite-treated cells. Additional experiments were performed to determine the role of such complexes in regulating GADD153 expression. Previous studies in our laboratory demonstrated that the GADD153 promoter contains a C/EBP binding site through which other C/EBPs interact to transactivate GADD153 expression in liver hepatoma cells. Here, we demonstrate that extracts prepared from arsenite-treated PC12 cells likewise show increased amounts of factors capable of binding to the GADD153-C/EBP site and that these complexes are comprised at least in part of C/EBP-beta. Forced expression of C/EBP-beta was found to be capable of transactivating the GADD153 promoter in PC12 cells cotransfected with plasmids expressing a GADD153 reporter gene and C/EBP-beta protein. However, overexpression of GADD153 inhibited the transactivation of the GADD153 promoter by C/EBP-beta. These findings provide evidence for an autoregulatory loop in which stress-induced GADD153 feeds back to attenuate GADD153 expression during the cellular response to stress.

Equine Rescue
Welcome to our non-profit site!
We all have important values and ideas- things we care about and want to share. Sometimes we feel our ideas can even change the world, and we want to let other people know how they can join in and make all our lives better. We want to improve the lives of unwanted horses and invite you to join us!! We are run 100% by volunteers and have no paid staff. We do accept community service workers also.
Mission Statement
To assist horses in need, and also to educate the public on the continual care (both physically and emotionally) of their horses. We offer support, guidance and training for new horse owners and support for those who have owned horses for some time. We have implemented a children's program to help educate them on natural horsemanship, riding and also the proper care of horses. We also assist all breeds of horses in need, rehabing them back into useful members of the equine society.
NUMBER CHANGEPlease note, if you are trying to contact us, use 760-807-7558.Due to increased costs everywhere and issues we have had with our old toll free number, we have decided to ditch it and just use our cell number. Please do remember, this is Tania's cell and unless its an emergency, call between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause!!!

Well, summer is underway here in the beautiful high desert. We have had several days well over 100 already and its only June. We have roughly 4 more months of hot summer to enjoy before we have to worry about our chilly winter. Feed prices seem to continue to go up, good quality, affordable feed is getting harder and harder to fine these days and although we have had a few adoptions in past months we are still struggling to cover feed, vet, farrier, chiropractic, supplement costs. We have managed to downsize a little, only because we have not been able to take in any new horses since early this year, we currently have 18 head at the ranch and are going thru roughly $55 per day in feed alone. We rely heavily on donations to keep our animals cared for and to do repairs on corrals and fencing around the ranch. For more information, to make an appt to drop off donated items, check out our horses, or to volunteer with us please give me a call at 760-807-7558/cellThanks in advanceTania BennettPresident/Founder

Saving a piece of American History, one mustang at a time.
Please Be Sure to Check Out Our Upcoming Events! Since we rely on donations to run the rescue and donations have been way down, we hold several events including the American Competitive Trail Horse Association, High Desert Versatility Challenge, and the all new Equestrian Trail Sport. Be sure to check out the details on our Newsletter page and come join us for one or all of these great events and the best part is that all of these events benefit Mustang-Spirit. If your not in a position to compete, please consider volunteering or donating items we can use as gifts and prizes at our events. We need assistance with set up/tear down, lunch, judging obstacles, timers and just all around volunteers to help the event run smoother. Also, if you have a non-profit and would like to sign up to do lunch, please let us know...we are very willing to work with other groups! Give us a call for any ride questions at 760-807-7558/cell-Tania
Southern California EvacuationsWhen you live i Southern California, you learn there are evaucations during all seasons. During the sumer you have wild fires, the winter brings mud slides...no mater what the cause of the evacuations, Mustang-Spirit is open to help keep horses and other livestock safe. We have a 10 acre lot with stalls and pasture space ready to handle housing animals in these situations and we have had training in evacaution and housing evacuated animals in times of emergancy. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to relocate your horses or livestock due to an evacuation feel free to call Tania on her cell 760-807-7558
Mustang-Spirit is a 501(c)3 non-profit horse rescue. We opened our gates in 2002 when two friends decided too many horses were going to slaughter and they wanted to save as many as possible. Of course we know we can't save them all, but during the past 11 years we have helped over 600 horses. We utilize foster homes to offer more options and locations to take in these horses in need. Although we started out as a "mustang" rescue we have since opened up to accept all breeds in need and even the occasional livestock or parrot when we are able to.
You can follow us on Twitter too :)

NCL Counts Down to Norwegian Gem With New Site
Ships are commonly referred to as "she," but
Norwegian Cruise Line
's taking this maritime custom a step further with the launch of its
Norwegian Gem
, coining it the "It" Girl of the fleet and creating a special Web site --
-- dedicated to hyping its launch.
These smaller Web sites, sometimes called "sitelets," are created to explore a topic, concept or an idea too specific for a "regular" site -- and are a hot trend in the cruise world. P&O recently launched
to generate excitement for its upcoming Ventura and Royal Caribbean introduced it's largest-ever Freedom of the Seas via freedomoftheseas.com.
NCL's gemitgirl.com offers all of the nitty-gritty details you'll also find on
like deck plans and itineraries, but is more interactive. It's actually designed to look a bit like a MySpace profile: on the left, a big splashy photo and fun stats (favorite food: escargot from Le Bistro); on the right, a blog and select photos of her "friends" (here called the Entourage).
To join the "It" Girl's Entourage you'll need to create your own digital avatar, or virtual self. A few mouse clicks confirm your skin tone, eye color, hair, outfit and backdrop. Once created, your avatar is automatically pictured in the Entourage Gallery (look for me, TravelMel!). At the beginning of the process, you can choose to enter a weekly drawing to become "It" Girl's BFF (Best Friend Forever) of the Week; the weekly prize is a $50 American Express gift card. You can also enter on the site to win a Nintendo Wii.
In fact, this create-your-own avatar tool -- and a virtual bowling game with high score board (sadly, you won't see TravelMel there) -- may be a nod to the cruise line's partnership with Nintendo Wii, which provides gaming consoles onboard Norwegian Pearl and Norwegian Gem. These two features on gemitgirl.com are similar to the Wii's digital "Mii" avatar creator and Wii Sports Bowling. They're also the coolest, most interactive parts of the site.
Other gemitgirl.com features include a calendar of events, and a play list of the "It" Girl's favorite songs like Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack" and Fergie's "Glamorous," which can be downloaded directly from iTunes for 99 cents. And the blog, which is updated about once a week, is written from the point of view of the ship. Here's a recent, ahem, gem:
"I had a great workout last weekend. I had my sea trials and my first chance to get out on the open ocean. A girl does have to keep in shape you know. I'm trying to stay at a sleek 93,000 tons."
Stay tuned for coverage of the ship's first sailings in Europe in early October....

Watch out, Rachel Berry! Not only is Jessica Sanchez coming for Finn, but she's a 'powerhouse singer' who may give you a run for your money!
Jessica Sanchez will start filming her highly-anticipated role on Glee in early April and be featured in two episodes, including the season finale on May 9.
"I'm playing a student from a rival school who is supposed to be a legendary diva – a powerhouse singer," the season 11 Idol contestant told PEOPLE on March 20.
Jessica, 17, will appear in two episodes this season, including the season finale of Glee.
"It's going to be a very busy month for me," Jessica told the magazine. "I'm very excited because I've never acted before. I really want to meet [Naya Rivera]. She's got that attitude and I love it."
Jessica Sanchez Is Dating Fellow 'Idol' Contestant DeAndre Brackensick
In addition to her arc on Glee and the April 30 release of her debut album Me, You and the Music, Jessica still finds time for her boyfriend, fellow season 11 contestant DeAndre Brackensick, 18.
"We have a balance," Jessica said of her relationship. "We understand each other's schedules so it is not so needy. It's very good."
While she's dating DeAndre in real life, Jessica wouldn't mind dating Finn on the small screen.
Jessica Sanchez Would Be 'Excited' To Date Finn On 'Glee'
When asked in December about rumors she'd be Finn's love interest on Glee, Jessica told HollywoodLife.com exclusively, "Yeah, my Mom and my friends tell me, everyone tells me that I am going to be Finn's love interest! I am very excited if that happens! It would definitely be the role to play!"
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you excited for Jessica's new role?

The article isn't saying that she is a legendary singer. It say that she will play a 'legendary singer' within the Glee universe. So it is possible that she is well known and may even have a career, but I don't see a big career since she is still in school.
And to be honest with you, no one have cared about an American Idol winner or 'loser' since Kelly Clarkson.
Posted at 12:23 AM on March 26, 2013
Jessica Sanchez has an incredible voice, so I can't wait to see her go up against the New Directions. I am glad that even with how much I travel for my job at DISH; I don't risk missing her debut. My DISH Anywhere app lets me stream the shows I record on my DVR to my tablet. My downtime at the airport will be much more entertaining, when I get to spend it watching Jessica take the stage at Regional's.

Excuse me. But did you read the context above?. Just to refresh you it says that she is going to "play" a "legendary diva" . Got It? Besides she deserves ito play that kind of role because of her EPIC talent, shes one of the best singer NOT ONLY in the season 11 but in the whole country. Poor you, you're just jelous probably don't have a talent like her.

Mitt Romney made a birther joke, Cenk and I respond on TYT!
The Jimmy Dore Show august 24,2012
The Jimmy Dore Show August 24, 2012
This Week:
Rep Todd Akin made the unforgivable mistake of telling the TRUTH about the Republican party, revealing they think rape victims are lying sluts.
Rep. Akin and the vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan espouse EXACTLY the same backward, ignorant, anti-women ideas. In fact together, they have even cosponsored abortion bills that use language like "Forcible Rape" that would make rape and incest victims carry their babies to term.
Akin has lifted the veil on the republican party and their neanderthal ideology. It's clear they are seeking a government small enough to de-fund Planned Parenthood, but large enough to round up all the abortion doctors. Whats not new is that "Mr. Courage" Paul Ryan is now running away from his core convictions revealing his compete lack of character and cowardliness.
(The excellent caricature of Todd Akin provided by DonkeyHotey!)
Ron Paul is and ardent anti-abortionist who is no stranger to the shaming of pregnant rape victims. When Rep. Paul was questioned by Pierce Morgan what he would do if his grand-daughter became pregnant by a rape, and he responded by saying he would give her a shot of estrogen is it was an "Honest Rape". So we get Rep. Paul on the phone to explain the differences between an "honest"and a "Dis-honest" rape. Another hilarious impression done by the best impressionist in America, the inimitable Mike MacRae!
Medicare has become a hot topic on the campaign trail ever since Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan as his Vice President. Ryan was dumb enough to put down in writing and propose in congress, a bill that would turn Medicare into a voucher program and shift costs to the elderly. It's another part of Mitt Romney's strategy to lose Florida.
The Republican planto deal with this problem is to bold and consistently lie about about it on national TV in an attempt to confuse the voters
about who is going to do what exactly to medicare. In fact, Romney and Ryan and their surrogates have been lying so blatantly and so boldly that they are making Solodad Obrien look like Edward R. Murrow.
The usual procedure is for politicians and political operatives to appear on NEWS shows, tell blatant false hoods and outright lies, and never get challenged or corrected. But Solodad Obrien didn't get the memo. She actually corrects blatant lies and this confuses the party hacks who aren't used to having their bullshit questioned on national TV.
Condoleeza Rice was allowed membership into Augusta National Golf CLub, ending their decades old policy of denying membership to War Criminals. Its being called a real achievement for civil rights. See women can join the bigoted and sexist club, all they have to do is spend 8 years doing the bidding of the Military Industrial Complex and they're in!

This Week:
Paul Ryan , Paul Ryan and then Paul Ryan, later we mention Paul Ryan and then we wrap up with a little Paul Ryan talk during the Paul Ryan round table about Paul Ryan.
We also talk about Paul Ryan and Paul Ryan's proposed Paul Ryan budget to fix everything and screw over the poor and middle class while funneling money upward and pretending you are doing God's work, Paul Ryan. .
The Paul Ryan budget is so bad that even the Catholics noticed. A group of Nuns think it is so "un-Catholic" that they organized a bus tour to spread the word. And the Catholic Bishops side withe the Nuns! You know, when you've lost the moral high ground to child molesters, maybe its a bad budget.
Ann Romney decided to show-off her angry- shitty side in an interview when addressing Mitt's tax returns. She looked like she was trying to lock down the paranoid millionaire vote.
Mike MacRaedelights us with phone calls from Mitt Romney and John Boehner explaining his disgust for the "Knuckel-

Rick Overton is also an Emmy Award winning writer and a very busy actor who most recently has been seen on NBC'

Cathy Ladman was winner of Female Comedian of the Year and most recently has been seen on

2000 Mile Cat
Florida kitty reunited with family after mysterious 2,000 mile journey to Colorado.
A Goodland, Florida man is happy to have his cat back after it was found more than 2,000-miles from home.
Waylon the cat is back at home with his Daniel Johns after he disappeared six months ago.
"Seemed like he settled right in, got up this morning and he still seemed like he settled right in. It's kind of nice," Johns said.
Johns adopted Waylon last June from Collier County Domestic Animal Services.
The cat escaped an hour after his adoption by chewing through a dryer vent at Johns' Goodland home.
Six months later, he was found in Littleton, Colorado.
"I was just like, 'Oh my God that's awesome!' It's been a long time," he said.
An animal shelter in a nearby city there linked Waylon to Johns by a microchip.
Johns went to Colorado to get Waylon and brought him back.
But the mystery remains - just how did Waylon get to Colorado?
Veterinarian Randy Eisel says it's unlikely any cat will travel 2,000-miles on their own four legs, especially since they usually stay in one area.
"Somebody thought they wanted him to be their cat and they took him and ended up driving him out to Colorado and he escaped from them as well," Eisel said.
Johns thought the same.
Now he has cat-proofed his house hoping Waylon will stick around.
"He's got his own room all to himself. He can't get out the window. The dryer vents made of metal now. He can't cut a hole in it so hopefully he will really like it there. I do," Johns said.
Dr. Eisel also says these kinds of stories pop up often, and it proves the effectiveness of the microchip and how beneficial they can be for pets and their owners.

Well, I have two full flights on it. Kept it limited in my yard under the spots just trimming it out, but I did venture out into the dark sky with it. Blinking light is nice for orientation. And nice FFF. Doesn't seem to bank very well but it has decent rudder response.
The tx works well with my v911s also. Only takes 5 sec to change the settings. |

Also, did anyone come up with a mod for a quick battery change? Or at least a bigger/longer lasting replacement battery?
I know it may be buried in this thread somewhere but I couldn't read through it all. Thanks. Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2 |

But I don't want to sound rude without helping: You can use any 800-900mAH 2S LiPo that measures around 56mm x 30mm x 16mm and weighs 45-50 grams without changing much - set aside a little levelling of the swash. The heavier you take the batts and the more Ah's they offer, the more you are stressing the motors (they heat up very quick and burn out sooner). And be careful - if you've done the mops-bypass theres nothing that can save you of burning a stalled motor. All eight 9116 under my custody fly with the mops shorted and a 800mAh 30C batt inside without any problems for 2 months now. (not counting occasional wear and tear or crash replacements) Many use a 900 mAh batt with no probs, too. You should consider buying a decent charger for the LiPos too, the stock charger isn't really made for it - but would do for a short time without damaging the LiPos too much. -mike- |

So I see lots of posts on battery options, I ordered a stock replacement battery when I ordered the 9116. What I'm wondering is if anyone came up with a mod to make it easier to swap batteries. I found one person who was using velcro to mount them on the outside of the canopy. That's convenient but I don't think it'll look too good. I want to figure out a way to do a swap in the field with out using any tools. I thought maybe someone else would have already done it so I don't have to think too hard.... |

The 9116 isn't really the right toy to do some aerial footage - small payload cap wouldn't lift anything much heavier than a keychain cam and then there remains the vibration issue. Best to use this bird for some easy funflying and not more. -mike- |

Durable : and submersible!
[QUOTE=Budasac;22894344]Pretty durable though considering the weight. It took quite a fall today and other than a busted canopy all I had to replace was the flybar. They're unbelievably durable. I did the MOPS modification after mine cut the power from probably 100" high and it did a nose-dive. All that was damaged was the tail boom, canopy and the canopy attachment struts. One day, in a hurry to get back to flying after a crash, I neglected to make sure that the dog-bones to the rotor blades were in the guides on the inner shaft. It was uncontrollable and wound up submerged in a stream for probably a good 7 to 10 minutes. I figured the pcb would be fried, especially when the tail rotor started spinning with the switch off. But I blew it off good with my air compressor and warmed it with a hair dryer and it was as good as new! Also, I'm using 900mah batteries.

I had similar problem but it was only present if I smoothly increase throttle from zero. Try bumping your trottle up quickly to around 30-40%. That reduces the initial startup current that causes the MOPS to cut power to the motor. This is worth giving a try before disabling the MOPS. I also found that the problem reduced over time as the motor got run in. |

Hello all,
This is an invitation to attend, and a call for participation in, this year's GIS Day Open House at Stanford University in Palo Alto California (Mitchell Earth Science Building, November 14th, 1pm - 5pm).
Every year Stanford hosts an open house in celebration of GIS Day. The event, which is open to the public, includes a series of lightning talks given by faculty and student presenters on their work using GIS; a Map Gallery featuring student work across campus; a "Where in the world" photo geography contest; and (new this year) a geocache challenge.
If you are in the Bay Area and looking for something mappy to do November 14th between 1pm and 5pm, please feel free to stop by (bit.ly/gisdaystanford2012).
I am also hoping to solicit participation from local cartographers who may have some interesting work to display in our map gallery or present as a "Lightning Talk". Lightning talks are 5 min presentations with about 2 minutes for questions. Work that was presented at the recent NACIS conference would probably be ideal!
There are a limited number of presenter slots so I can't guarantee we can accept every poster or presentation idea but it would be great if we could include at least a few examples of high quality cartographic output for GIS analysis work.
If you are interested, please contact me via PM.

I should add that for the map gallery, in addition to printed posters we will be running a digital slide show on a large LCD monitor so if you have a map to show but nothing printed we can still show your work.

We're wrapping up our virtual map gallery slide show today. Last chance to have your map project on display for the Stanford GIS Day event. If you have any examples of high quality cartography using GIS fell free to send me a JPG or PDF for inclusion.
And of course, for those of you in the SF Bay Area feel free to stop by and check out the lightning talks. More information here: https://lib.stanford...2-november-14th

As a Jewish congregation in the predominantly Protestant South, and in a small town on top of that, the members of Temple Beth El in Anniston have learned to do without some things: a full-time rabbi, weekly worship services, bat and bar mitzvahs for their children. But there are also ways they have learned to adapt, with the help of the broader community. A choir sings prayers and songs at almost every service at Temple Beth El -- but it is not made up of members of the congregation. The choir is made up of members of Christian churches who "have learned and are fluent in Hebrew and can sing our prayers in Hebrew," said Sherry Blanton, president of the congregation. Read more »
