Adventures in Cartooning: Christmas Special

Ready for Christmas? No, I'm not either, but distribution vagaries and selling seasons mean that the Adventures in Cartooning: Christmas Special goes on sale next week. I didn't read the first Adventures in Cartooning book; did it have the same mix of charm and cheerleading for comic creation?
The art's deceptively simple, a great choice for a book with the message, "you, too, can and should draw comics." It's got a lot of detail, though, which instantly throws the reader into Santa's workshop. In rhyme, we're told of how the Jolly Old Elf is griping about kids not wanting toys in this digital age. I love the couplet:
Instead of toys, we elves write code. Then we connect to the server … and upload!
Santa decides to make a comic for these kids, with the help of the Magical Cartooning Elf and a brave knight who provides the adventure stories for them to illustrate. Yes, it's all told in poetry (which the knight also complains about), and there are various magical creatures all helping each other out, so if you can't let yourself succumb to whimsy, this is not the short graphic novel for you.
But for parents looking for something safe yet inspirational, funny yet respectful, that's not a video game, to put in the kid's stocking, this fits the bill. The characters create a story, make a comic, solve various holiday problems involving distribution — if it were me, I couldn't have resisted a pun about issues with a precious jewel — and finally get help from an expected but visually exciting source.
The end, where the comic is so great that it inspires other young creators, is obvious from the premise, but it also strikes me as wishful thinking. I suppose writing something you want to come true isn't a bad tactic, but I'm not sure the message will be compelling to those who don't already want to see it happen. Will kids follow the model of the story? The outright call for them to create, and the provided address to send their comics, may help.

The Association of Jersey Charities has launched 'Jersey Legacy Week' 2012. Legacy Week is being celebrated by charities worldwide and the National and International press will be highlighting this during the week of 17th to 23rd September. Jersey Legacy Week begins on 24th September.Legacies can be difficult to discuss openly, however, we want to find a way for everyone to be able to discuss legacies in the open. We feel the best way to do this is to join forces and make a splash about the importance of legacies to charities in Jersey as a whole.Our Member charities will be handing out Tea bags, kindly supplied by Coopers, together with a brochure 'Why Make a Will', to all stakeholders during this week, asking people to sit and chat with their family about leaving a gift to charity in their will. Look out for your volunteers handing out the same in town the week commening 24th September.
A legacy doesn't have to be a large amount, so once all family and friends have been taken care of, a little to a favourite charity may be appropriate.
A series of talks has also been arranged, hosted by various law firms and dates/times of these will be advised nearer the time.
For information on how to make a will, visit the Citizen's Advice Bureau or call in to talk to an advisor.

When it comes to a stroke, time saved is brain saved.
That was the message shared at a public event Thursday evening at Hays Medical Center. May is National Stroke Awareness Month, and the event was intended to educate locals about the symptoms and treatments of stroke, said Carol Groen, director of emergency and outpatient nursing services.
"One of our biggest challenges is for patients to come to us in a timely manner," Groen said. "It's not unusual for patients to wait 12 to 24 hours. They don't recognize the symptoms; they think they'll get better. Maybe they're even afraid to come."
Guest speaker for the evening was Dr. Colleen Lechtenberg, medical director of the stroke program at University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
A stroke occurs when bloodflow to the brain is obstructed, most often due to a blocked blood vessel.
Symptoms of a stroke vary in severity and are determined by which part of the brain is affected. A stroke in the right part of the brain affects the left side of the body, and vice versa, Lechtenberg said.
Common symptoms include drooping facial features, inability to move one side of the body, slurred speech or sudden confusion.
Any time a stroke is suspected, victims or bystanders should call 911 immediately, she said, noting that has proven to be the quickest and safest way to reach help, even in rural areas.
"If you think somebody's having a stroke, just call 911," she said.
It's estimated 32,000 brain cells die each second during a stroke. Thus, seeking help immediately is important to help preserve healthy brain tissue and limit the amount of damage, she said.
A recent statewide initiative called Kansas Initiative for Stroke Survival helps educate and prepare small hospitals with the protocol and drugs to treat stroke patients, Lechtenberg said.
Nearly 40 small hospitals, including several facilities in northwest Kansas, have been declared emergent stroke ready as part of the initiative.
"It's a really big accomplishment for our state," she said, noting the treatment rate of emergent stroke patients has begun to increase since the initiative started in 2010.
It's estimated 80 percent of strokes are preventable, Lechtenberg said, noting tobacco use, high blood pressure and uncontrolled diabetes are thought to increase risk.
More than 30 people attended the event, which is part of a quarterly Coffee & Conversation group that meets at HaysMed to discuss cardiac issues.
Debra Gross of Hays was among those in attendance.
"I have had open-heart surgery, so I just wanted to come and listen just to see if there's anything else I can do to prevent it," she said.

A gigantic battle that took place in the video game Eve Online resulted $200,000 worth of ships being lost (destroyed).
Eve Online is a science fiction massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG). Players take control of ships and use them to do anything from trading to piracy, and while it is known for having a steep learning curve, the game has also become famous for the amount of real world money that can be won and lost if a ship is destroyed.
If you don't understand how Eve Online battles can cost money, let me explain. Do you know how in FarmVille — and many video games on mobile — you can pay real money to purchase in-game items? The idea with Eve Online is similar, except it is more of a two-way street: Eve Online in-game money can be sold for real dollars vis-a-vis a conversion rate… just like how you convert one currency to another. Thus, a ship has, say, $500 value because it can be sold for in-game money equivalent of $500.
This particular battle, battle, which involved more than 2,200 players and resulted in $200,000 actual money being lost, actually started off as a bit of a fluke too. This is according to Alexander Gianturco, who is the CEO of Goonswarm Federation, a faction in Eve online.
"Today's battle happened literally by accident: system control (sovereignty) was dropped in a key staging system due to a mistake," Gianturco said to Polygon. "This then escalated into the largest battle in Eve history, which delightfully our forces seem to be winning. This is a bigger battle in terms of the hardware and players involved though there's less raw numbers in a single system — this fight is over multiple systems."
The complete results haven't been tallied yet, but considering the fact that a single Titan, which is a capital class ship, can sometimes be worth as much money as $5,000 dollars… yeah, well, video gaming has never been so expensive before, eh?

Great Game!
Making money in the game by doing certain things to buy stuff or extend your playing time is one thing but …..
What confuses me is why anyone would spend real world TANGABLE money for something that is INTANGABLE, your not getting anything and from what I understand in this game is that if you get into a skirmish you can lose it all …. LMAO!
I would really like to be the person that came up with this and convinced people to spend real money for "virtual"ly nothing!
It cracks me up every time I go to some department stores and supermarkets and you pass by the prepaid Farmville bucks cards, and I laugh even harder when I actually see someone purchase one, two or twenty, some people are so gullible.

[@Ashraf] Ah, got it, thanks (I stay away from games asking me for money).
On the other hand, perhaps the battleship could have been sold to Warren Buffet in exchange for a $200K donation to charity . . . .

What a tremendous waste of real-world money, that could have just been donated to a charity.

Ali Riley heads east, joins WPS's Flash
December, 9, 2010
By Scott French | ESPNLosAngeles.com
Ali Riley, the Rookie of the Year in Women's Professional Soccer, has a new club.
Riley (Pacific Palisades/Harvard-Westlake School), a left back out of Stanford University who plays for New Zealand's national team, agreed to contract terms Thursday with the expansion Western New York Flash, which will play in Buffalo and Rochester.
Riley became a free agent when WPS champion FC Gold Pride folded last month.
Gold Pride's other starting outside back, Kandace Wilson (Los Angeles/Walnut HS and Cal State Fullerton), and star forward Christine Sinclair, a Canadian national-teamer, also agreed to terms with the Flash.
The club also is bringing in former L.A. Sol midfielder Brittany Bock and goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris, both of whom played last season for Washington. Forward Kelley O'Hara, Riley's former roommate and teammate at Stanford and with the Gold Pride, signed with the Boston Breakers.

Preview of live video data
himage = preview(...)
preview(obj) creates a Video Preview window that displays live video data for video input object obj. The window also displays the timestamp and video resolution of each frame, and the current status of obj. The Video Preview window displays the video data at 100% magnification (one screen pixel represents one image pixel). The size of the preview image is determined by the value of the video input object ROIPosition property.
Components of a Video Preview Window
The Video Preview window remains active until it is either stopped using stoppreview or closed using closepreview. If you delete the object, by calling delete(obj), the Video Preview window stops previewing and closes automatically.
preview(obj,himage) displays live video data for video input object obj in the image object specified by the handle himage. preview scales the image data to fill the entire area of the image object but does not modify the values of any image object properties. Use this syntax to preview video data in a custom GUI of your own design (see Examples).
himage = preview(...) returns himage, a handle to the image object containing the previewed data. To obtain a handle to the figure window containing the image object, use the ancestor function. For more information about using image objects, see image. See the Custom Update Function section for more information about the image object returned.
The behavior of the Video Preview window depends on the video input object's current state and trigger configuration.
Object State | Preview Window Behavior |
Running=off | Displays a live view of the image being acquired from the device, for all trigger types. The image is updated to reflect changes made to configurations of object properties. (The FrameGrabInterval property is ignored until a trigger occurs.) |
Running=on | If TriggerType is set to immediate or manual, the Video Preview window continues to update the image displayed. If TriggerType is set to hardware, the Video Preview window stops updating the image displayed until a trigger occurs. |
Logging=on | Video Preview window might drop some data frames, but this will not affect the frames logged to memory or disk. |
Note: The Image Acquisition Toolbox™ Preview window and the Preview window that is built into the Image Acquisition Tool support the display of up to 16-bit image data. The Preview window was designed to only show 8-bit data, but many cameras return 10-, 12-, 14-, or 16-bit data. The Preview window display supports these higher bit-depth cameras. However, larger bit data is scaled to 8-bit for the purpose of displaying previewed data. If you need the full resolution of the data, use the getsnapshot or getdata functions. |
preview creates application-defined data for the image object, himage, assigning it the name 'UpdatePreviewWindowFcn' and setting its value to an empty array ([]). You can configure the value of the 'UpdatePreviewWindowFcn' application data and retrieve its value using the MATLAB® setappdata and getappdata functions, respectively.
The 'UpdatePreviewWindowFcn' will not necessarily be called for every frame that is acquired. If a new frame is acquired and the 'UpdatePreviewWindowFcn' for the previous frame has not yet finished executing, no update will be generated for the new frame. If you need to execute a function for every acquired frame, use the FramesAcquiredFcn instead.
You can use this function to define custom processing of the previewed image data. When preview invokes the function handle you specify, it passes three arguments to your function:
obj — The video input object being previewed
event — An event structure containing image frame information. For more information, see below.
himage — A handle to the image object that is being updated
The event structure contains the following fields:
Field | Description |
Data | Current image frame specified as an H-by-W-by-B matrix where H and W are the image height and width, respectively, as specified in the ROIPosition property, and B is the number of color bands, as specified in the NumberOfBands property. |
Resolution | String specifying current image width and height, as defined by the ROIPosition property. |
Status | String describing the current acquisition status of the video input object. |
Timestamp | String specifying the timestamp associated with the current image frame. |
Create a customized GUI.
figure('Name', 'My Custom Preview Window'); uicontrol('String', 'Close', 'Callback', 'close(gcf)');
Create an image object for previewing.
vidRes = obj.VideoResolution; nBands = obj.NumberOfBands; hImage = image( zeros(vidRes(2), vidRes(1), nBands) ); preview(obj, hImage);
For more information on customized GUIs, see Previewing Data in Custom GUIs.

When I was a senior in high school and looking at colleges, there were a number of factors that were important to me. The first, and one of the more important factors was that I wanted to go to a smaller school. I didn't want to go to a college where I was just a number in a huge lecture hall. I wanted a school where my professor would know my name and face, and where I could get help if I needed it.
Another factor was the athletic department. I was a member of the golf team in high school and I wanted to play in college. Anna Maria College helped me achieve that goal, and I have had a great time with my fellow team members.
I was also looking for a school that had a variety of majors to choose from because I was unsure if a degree in business was a good choice for me. Because AMC offers so many choices, I was able to take business classes and criminal justice classes to see where I fit best. I decided that business was the right major for me.
Next week I will discuss why I think you should choose Anna Maria College.
As a senior at Anna Maria College with one semester left, you can imagine there is a lot on my mind concerning the immediate future. One might say that this time in a senior's college career can be very stressful, but I'm glad to report that a lot of the stress has been taken away because of how AMC prepares its students for the future. Since I was a freshman, my growth at AMC continued each year as I met new challenges that forced me to find new solutions. I went from being a general member of the activities board to eventually becoming a member of the student government association executive board. I learned a lot in and out of the classroom that I know I couldn't have learned anywhere else and I am glad to be leaving this institution with the knowledge I obtained.
For about a year and a half now I have been determined to find a career in higher education, as well as receive a master's in higher education administration; I am ready to do both. My final semester will include a lot of applying and waiting, applying and waiting, but at the same time it will be exciting beyond belief! It's hard to imagine how four years of your life can go by so quickly, the friends you make, the people you meet, the people you lose, and the things you learn.
While being a student at AMC I have had the pleasure of working with many professors and staff in order to get the most out of my education. A number have had an instrumental impact on me that has helped me to become who I am today. When freshman come to Anna Maria College they are told how helpful the small community life style can be but they don't really know how beneficial it is until they have actually experienced it. I have experienced it over and over again, and while I am sad to leave, I am excited to use what I have gathered at AMC and apply it to the rest of my life in whatever direction it may bring me.

When thinking about what is referred to as "the college experience," do you consider this concept only in relationship to what is gained from inside a classroom or playing on a sports team? Does the idea of school spirit ever cross your mind when you think about your college experience and, if so, what do you think of when you hear the phrase "school spirit?"
My definition of school spirit is when students, faculty and staff gather to show pride in their school and support for each other. Having school spirit means being able to show how much you love your school by creating, coordinating and participating in student events or, going a step further, by actually hosting events that show how much love you have for your school.
A great example of an event that occurred recently that showed the Anna Maria College Community in action was the Midnight Madness event, which took place on Wednesday, November 13, 2013 in the Fuller Activities Center around 11:45 pm. This event was conducted to celebrate the upcoming season of basketball for both women and men at Anna Maria College. It was a way for the College, as well as guests, to see what new skills, players, and determination each team has to offer for this upcoming season.
At Midnight Madness, students not only had the opportunity to be introduced to the upcoming season but they also had a chance to participate in activities centered around basketball even if they had no prior experience in playing the sport. This event had a huge turnout and was hosted by Lynette Colome, a junior at Anna Maia College and James Lambert III. They also had a helping hand from Lisa Saverese, the Director of Student Activities who helped to put the event together. In addition, I can't forget to mention the hard work of the players from both teams, as well as their coaches.
Prior to the event, I sat down with a few students to gain their perspective on the Midnight Madness event and the upcoming season. The first student I spoke with was Nina Anastacio who is a sophomore, resident assistant and former basketball player at Anna Maria College. When asked if she was excited about the upcoming event and season she replied that she was ecstatic. She went on to explain to me that "Midnight Madness allowed the student athletes to be introduced as part of the school team and it was a way to display a preview of the hard work the coaches have put in preparing them for the upcoming season." Nina also stated that she is anticipating improvement amongst the players on the team and "what we are about to see from these women is going to be brand new in that Anna Maria College has never seen these women the way we will see them this season." She continued to show her optimism in the team's success when she stated that, "there is a high possibility of them making it to the playoffs."
I also sat down with a member from the men's basketball team, Caleib Fournier, to get his take on the upcoming season for men's basketball. When asked what Midnight Madness meant to him, as well as the impact it has on him and the other players, he stated that the event "brings the school together, as well as motivates the players for success during the upcoming season." Like Nina, he described this season as "brand new." He stated that the players will have a whole new style of playing and that this season will be different but successful at the same time." Even though the men's basketball team has drastically changed since losing their three power players: Javier Bristo, Anthony Click and Brad Peterson, all graduates of the class of 2013, Calieb still maintains his strong faith in his team's success, as well as Coach Conrad's ability to continue leading them on a successful path. He shared that Coach Conrad has done a great job in keeping the team on track, helping them to reach their goals in the sport, gaining the trust of his players and establishing a bond.
These interviews that were conducted, as well as having the privilege to attend the very well organized event known as Midnight Madness, definitely have me excited and anxious to attend as many games as possible to support both the women's and men's basketball teams. Ordinarily I am not much of a sports person but hearing how optimistic, dedicated and determined these student athletes are to succeed, as well as after seeing a preview of what's to come, I am definitely ready to show my school spirit in any way including supporting my hardworking peers while they are on the court.

Watch List OT adds Alabama offer
By Corey Dowlar
ESPN Watch List offensive tackle
Mason Cole
(Tarpon Springs, Fla./East Lake) thought he might be close.
There was no way to be sure, but going to Tuscaloosa, Ala., and getting an offer from the Crimson Tide would have really been something.
Sure enough, the good news this weekend came as a slight surprise.
"A little," he said. "I also kind of anticipated it going up there, though. It was truly exciting. I feel blessed."
And in terms of Alabama, it came from the best source possible.
In meeting with Cole, coach Nick Saban, one of college football's most iconic coaches, made the offer to the 2014 prospect.
"Coach Saban told me while I was meeting with him," Cole said. "It was really cool."
Alabama joins Cincinnati, Florida, Florida State, Indiana, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Mississippi, South Carolina, USF, Stanford, USC and West Virginia on Cole's list of teams that have offered Cole. The Crimson Tide, he says, means a lot to him.
"It is definitely significant," Cole said. "Definitely one of my favorite schools."

This project is a compilation of the research recently done for Washington County, Georgia.
Washington County around established February 25, 1784 from the Creek Indian Cession of November 1, 1783. The county originally included all the territory "from the Cherokee Corner, north extending from the Ogeechee River to the Oconee River, south to Liberty County." It approximately ten times larger than it is now. About 10 surrounding counties were detached from the County by 1858. A part of Washinton County was set off to Greene County, 1786; a part to Hancock County, 1793; a part to Montgomery County, 1793; a part to Laurens County, 1811; a part to Baldwin County, 1807, 1812, and 1826; and a part to Johnson County, 1858. The county seat is Sandersville, Georgia. Washington County and Franklin County, which was erected the same year as Washington County, were the two counties where bounty grants were made to soldiers of the Revolutionary War. These soldiers were eligible for bounty grants upon proof of their service no matter what state they served, and soldiers from every state applied for and received bounty grants--many of them settling on their land. There was a fire in the Washington County courthouse in 1855 which destroyed many of the early records of the county, and the courthouse was burned by General on his march to the sea, November 1864. A few records of the 1840s survive, but generally the extant court records begin after the Civil War. Therefore, the majority of the records given here are from sources other than the courthouse.
Seven times between 1805 and 1832 Georgia used a lottery system to distribute the land taken from the Cherokee or Creek Indians. These lotteries were unique to the state; no other state used a lottery system to distribute land. Lot size varied widely, even in the individual lotteries. The largest lots distributed were 490 acres in the 1805 and the 1820 land lottery. The smallest lots were the 40-acre gold lots distributed during the Gold Lottery of 1832.
Many people, including the state of Georgia, combine the Land Lottery of 1832 and the Gold Lottery of 1832 and represent it as a single lottery; however, both the enabling legislation and the drawings themselves were independent, hence there were seven lotteries, not six.
Prior to 1803 Georgia distributed land via a headright system. Designed to prohibit corruption, the system actually encouraged it. During early administrations the government abused this system and created what today is generally known as the Yazoo Land Fraud. These abuses led to the adoption of the lottery system in May, 1803 under governor John Milledge. The first lottery under the new system occurred in 1805.
Almost 3/4 of the land in present-day Georgia was distributed under this lottery system. During the 27 years that land was distributed under the system the rules and the methods of the lottery remained virtually unchanged. Applicants could be white males over 18 (or 21 depending on the lottery), orphans, or widows. Fees depended on the lottery and the size of the lot won, but in general they only covered the cost of running the lottery. The state did not profit from allocating these lands. Fractional lots were sold in each of the lotteries and some lands, especially those near major rivers, was exempt from the lottery. These were distributed by the state using alternate, frequently corrupt, methods.

Washington County has at different times furnished soldiers for six wars: Revolutionary War of 1775, War of 1812, War with Mexico 1846, War Between the States (Civil War)1861, Spanish-American War 1898, World War I 1917.
Many of the old records were burned by General Sherman, but the D.A.R. Chapter at Tennille found one grave marked 1812.
Dr. Asa beach was in two wars, 1846 and 1861. His widow received a pension for his services in the Mexican War.
The roster of 1861 shows that Washington County sent more soldiers to the front than any other county of Georgia.
Roster of Confederate Soldiers
In 1861, the population, according to the census of the preceding year (1860), numbered 6,143 white males and females. Of that number, the males were 1,460, from 15 years to 50, ages suitable for military duty.

I don't what people thinks,before they film they know what they are saying,if she did not like it they could have not showed it so people should just get over this people and thirst for fame. Why was she crying,did she put onions in her eyes and cried hysterical? I know the kartrashians their nannies even sign confidentiality,they are liar,they do evil so they always want to shut people they use.

If anyone is using this app after the update I am receiving this error. Not sure if it works the way it should now. View attachment 64665
Upgrade on FoxFi or upgrade on firmware for the s4? Guess they're trying to prevent tethering for those without a hotspot plan...stinkin Verizon
It still works, once the pop up window comes up, just chose Go to My Verizon Mobile, after the app opens, just press the home button and you are good to go. This is pretty much implemented for all those unlimited data HOGS who use their unlimited data to tether like there is no tomorrow, sorry if I was Verizon I would do the same thing, they are selling you unlimited data for your device, not to use it as a substitute of your home Internet or business solutions, people always had to pay extra for a tethering plan, but this is happening do to those unlimited data plan users who have abused it.. I also have unlimited data, but have never gone to the extremes that I see some people boast about, like 100 GIGS a month. No wonder Verizon is doing this.
The way this phone is locked down, especially with the Knox security software implemented by Samsung, I say good luck, same thing with Root Access, the Devs will have a ball trying to Root this device.
Sooner or later you will have to get the update, no matter how hard you resist, even by being rooted, once 4.3 comes out "which again will be a new build" that the Devs will have no access to, what will you do, if by that time the devs have not broken the new boot loader lock, they also will not be able to flash any new updates to your device, since any new build has to be accessible to the devs for them to implement their features, so again, what will you do. And what happens when 5.0 ships to the S4, which it will, and the Devs still have not broken the code, what will you do, that is the question.

Nibali dominates to win Tour de France
PARIS (AP) Vincenzo Nibali put his lungs and legs to work one last time, marching up to the winner's podium of the Tour de France and sighing deeply before the Italian anthem echoed over the Champs-Elysees.
Chants of "Vin-cen-zo!" rang across the famed avenue for the Sicilian, who dominated the race nearly from the start three weeks ago and on Sunday became the first Italian to win cycling's greatest race since Marco Pantani in 1998.
Marcel Kittel of Germany won Stage 21 in a sprint, his fourth victory this year. Nibali cruised in 24 seconds later, easily retaining a lead of more than seven minutes on his closest rival. He received pats on the back, kissed his wife and infant daughter and was mobbed by cameras.

If you have a field to fly in (with not too many trees), go for the F45. If you have a good size yard, go with F46 size. Waiting on F46 delivery. IMHO, stay away from Solo Pro 228 heli. Flies good but breaks too easy. F45 is one sturdy bird. Still got one for sale.

Arrowshooter -
First flight of F45/450 No. 2 today. Using the Xtreme/Turnigy tail BL conversion on this one first. Went pretty well till the wind got up - unfortunately, just doesn't seem to have the wind authority of the brushed tail (yet, anyway). Finished up 100yards away in a horse paddock, last 50ft straight down. Found by a couple of the horse guys, who kindly passed it over the fence. And NO damage! - well, bent flybar. Did the sensible thing(?) and continued on through 3 battery packs, nothing overheating at the end. Extended the tail a bit (to full 450), might have shifted the CG too far back perhaps. Bit worried about the weight of the HK full metal tail for belt drive - might see how you go on that idea (think you said you were going to try that first) while I try other BL tail variants. Nice canopy, you've got there! Cheers John. PS - What's this luxury of a HANDLE on your 450 box? We HK guys carry them in our teeth, like men lol. |

Glad you got her up and running. My thoughts about the brushless tail are to try a 10,000kv inrunner in place of the stock brushed motor. These motors are 12mm in diameter and appear that they will bolt right on. I have no idea what RPM the stock motor turns, but I fugure it has to be pretty close. I found an outfit that is in Germany that can make a 0.4 mod pinion. |

Waiting for a MJX F47 to arrive and thinking about a F46 (or v912). Will review and post elsewhere on rcgroups. Will be interesting to compare to F45, though obviously smaller. I think the Solo Pro 228 may self destruct the rate it's going!

I fly mostly over grass and rarely break anything except the odd tail shaft gear and landing strut. The 228 has very precise control at low speeds and can fly very fast, but it's high-speed handling characteristics and fragility of certain parts, make this NOT a learning heli. The F45 is a better novice heli but the 228 flys in a smaller area, which is what I need. But you definitley have to be more careful with it. regards . . . g |

text: Concrete Corrosion Analysis & TestingThe characteristics of uncontaminated concrete naturally inhibit the corrosion process from taking place. However, when the concrete becomes contaminated, those characteristics change and corrosion of the steel readily occurs. That change can be caused by de-icing salts, calcium chloride additives, seawater or industrial chemicals. The resultant corrosion product, or rust, occupies a volume 4-5 times that of the original metal and causes internal stresses that crack the concrete. When the concrete is contaminated at the reinforcing steel level, no traditional repair methods, such as patching, sealers or membranes, will stop the corrosion. Before any concrete structure is rehabilitated, it is important to determine the condition of the concrete. Concrete distress can be caused by many factors.

Columbia Minerva
Columbia Minerva
What is the best replacement yarn for this vintage needlepoint project?
I "inherited" a partially worked needlepoint canvas from the 70's and would like to complete it. It's Columbia Minerva design # 2332, "Winter Greenhouse." The canvas and the colored yarns are all included in the package I received, but for some reason all of the white yarn is missing except for one length's worth which has been stitched in already.
I will need 136 36-inch lengths of the white yarn, which is color reference # 5907 in the pattern. (So 4896 inches or just over 400 feet). Any recommendations on the best way to get replacement yarn? I know I can just go to the store with a segment and try to match color/weight but I'm hoping there's an even better way.
Here's a link to an ebay item that is almost exactly what I've received, even down to the % worked. This isn't mine, though.
I checked out the photos at the link you provided. What a nice project! It will be stunning when you finish it.
Columbia Minerva is no longer in business, so it's doubtful you'll be able to replace the missing yarn with that brand.
Since you need a LOT of the white, and you want it all to match (since it's the background), here's what I would do: I would remove the single 36" strand that has already been worked, and purchase enough new white yarn to do the entire project.
I noticed that the description on the link you provided said that the kit includes both wool and acrylic yarns. You'll want to test the strand you remove to make sure you purchase the right yarn. You can test this by taking a small bit of the yarn and holding it near an open flame. If it melts and shrinks back from the flame, it's synthetic. If it IS acrylic, I'll be willing to bet it's acrylic knitting worsted-weight yarn. If so, you're in luck: you can purchase a single skein of good acrylic knitting-worsted weight yarn for under $5, and it will more than cover what you need (a skein usually has about 250+ yards).
If it's wool, then it's tapestry yarn -- much more expensive (which is why I suspect it is acrylic: most projects like this would have used the less expensive acrylic yarn for the large expanse of background to reduce costs). If it IS tapestry wool, then just purchase enough yardage in white.
Good luck on your project!

Washington is now believed to be traveling in the southern United States in a stolen a 1994 black GMC two wheel drive Sonoma pickup truck with Virginia vanity plates " BDONS" that was reported stolen from Mecklenburg County (Virginia) Sheriff's Office early Thursday morning. A set of Virginia license plates, CJ 5982 was also reported stolen from the same vicinity however; it is not known if the stolen plates are displayed on the stolen GMC truck.

I Am a Fair Haired Blonde Person but a Plastic Surgeon Told Me I Had Thick Skin and Can Expect Limited Results from Rhinoplasty. I thought only Asians, African Americans and darker skinned people had thick skin. I'm confused.
Fair-Haired Blonde - Is It Possible I Have Thick Skin and am a Bad Rhinoplasty Candidate?
Doctor Answers (13)
The thickness of the skin does effect the results of a rhinoplasty. You are correct that this quality tends to be related to ethnicity but it is possible to have fair hair and thick skin. Just because you have thick skin does not mean that you can not have aesthetic nasal surgery, nor that you will get poor results. It just means that it will effect the results and you have to be willing to accept the limitations. If you are doubtful about this surgeon's assessment, by all means obtain a second opinion.
Hair color does not determine skin thickness. I have seen thick skin in patients of all ethnic backgrounds. Your surgeon is being honest in trying to establish reasonable expectations for your rhinoplasty surgery - thick skin will influence your final result.
Without an exam I can not tell you if you have thick skin or not. If you do , and have alot of concerns about your nasal tip, then it may be hard to refine it as much as you might like.

Hello thick skinned rhinoplasty patient from Boston. Thick skin can be good and bad. It does not, at all, mean that you won't benefit from a rhinoplasty, you may still have a desirable outcome. On one hand your thick skin may require your surgeon to overaccentuate some of the maneuvers to produce your desired outcome, but on the otherhand your thick skin will tend to camouflage any minor imperfections and edges of cartilage that may show through thin skinned patients. Best of luck to you!
Very possible but hard to see over the internet as to your skin type. Best to see boarded PS's in Boston, there are many. From MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski
There can be quite a range of skin types across all ethnicities and skin tones. Your skin has to be examined in person to get a true assessment.
Even if you do have thicker nasal skin, that doesn't necessarily mean that you couldn't have a rhinoplasty. There are different levels of "thick skin" and it also depends on what you're trying to achieve. Thick skin can make it harder (though not necessarily impossible) to get tip refinement with a rhinoplasty.
Thick skin can more commonly limit how much "downsizing" one could do during a rhinoplasty. That is, if we make the nose too small the overlying skin may not adequately shrink wrap over the smaller nasal framework. This would result in an amorphous nose that would likely look worse than what you started with.
Another variable in the thick skin equation is patient age. Younger skin tends to shrink wrap better than older skin.
Web reference: http://www.drlamperti.com/facial-plastic-surgery/rhinoplasty
I have seen thick skin in all skin types and yes thicker skin can limit the result of a rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty in fair skinned patients are usually normal skin contracture. I would have to feel the skin to give you an honest appraisal. There are slightly, moderately, and heavy thick skinned patients.
Yes, this is possible. Although it is more common in particular ethnic groups, any given individual within any ethnic group may have thick nasal skin. However, that does not mean it is impossible to achieve your aesthetic goals.
Skin thickness is a very important component to rhinoplasty results. If the skin is too thick it can smooth out the aesthetic definition that many find attractive - especially in the tip region. On the other hand, thin skin can reveal too much of the underlying support structures and edges - this may also be unattractive. In some, this "thick skin" can actually include an extra thick layer of fat. I these individuals, I will carefully remove some of this fat to achieve better definition. I would recommend another 2 or 3 consultations with Board Certified Plastic Surgeons and get additional opinions.

Artists have historically used dolls as subjects. They have human qualities without being human which gives them a surreal edge, and they were, in fact, popular with the Surrealists. In addition to their surreal qualities, their reference to childhood automatically has a charged emotional impact.
The dolls I've used in these paintings have an additional "charge" in that they are usually troubled in some way. Frequently they are broken, or their outfits are torn or dirty. They may be in a disturbing or unusual setting. Or they could be coupled or grouped to produce an interesting interaction. I look for subjects that have a compelling visual interest; their clothes, their faces, expressions, etc., all figure into it. The paintings of the dolls can resolve in many ways. They can be scary, sweet, moving, disturbing, poignant, or provoke mixed emotions. My aim is to go directly to the heart of the innocence and haunting residue of childhood.
In this series the framing element is an integral part of the piece, which helps to give each painting a singular look.
