In a droptest between the Galaxy S II and iPhone 4S, we saw how much more durable the Galaxy S II was (at least in that specific test) than Apple's iPhone 4S. Curious how the iPhone 4S stands up against Android's latest flagship devices, Samsung Galaxy S III and HTC One X? We have another droptest to show you.
In this particular droptest, a white Galaxy S III is put against a white iPhone 4S and a white HTC One X. Based on previous droptests and the fact that it has a glass-based outer shell, one would expect the iPhone 4S to come last in this contest. Yeah, not so much. The iPhone 4S fares the best out of all three devices, with only a scratch on the screen after being dropped multiple times from waist and shoulder height. HTC One X comes in second; it has a few scratches on the screen but is still functional after being dropped from the same positions. Galaxy S III, however, is a completely different story. The Galaxy S III survived a drop from waist height with nothing major, not even a scratch. From shoulder height, however, not only did the screen get a "big" scratch but the device came apart multiple times and eventually stopped working. Check it out for yourself:
From this particular test it is obvious the unibody design on the HTC One X and iPhone 4S help it survive versus the Galaxy S III's traditional two-part design, despite the Galaxy S III being covered in "high-quality" plastic which should technically help it survive drops better than, say, glass. However, if I may play devil's advocate, this droptest is a bit suspicious in light of the previous iPhone 4S vs Galaxy S II droptest.
If you remember that particular test, the black iPhone 4S's outer glass casing shattered and the screen cracked after being dropped while the Galaxy S II fared very well. In this droptest the white iPhone 4S comes out unscathed, for the most part. So either there is a huge difference between the materials used for the white and black iPhone 4S, or something fishy is going on. Alternatively, it could just be the different surfaces at play: This new video drops phones on what looks to be black marble whereas the previous video dropped phones on what appears to be the sidewalk. I'm no engineer so I can't say this for sure but it could be iPhone 4S's material helps it survive drops better indoors than outdoors.
While I doubt this droptest will sway consumers one way or the other who are trying to decide between the three devices, especially if you consider how most people place their phones in cases, it is interesting to know. Feel free to share your thoughts on the comments below.

was this sponsored by Apple? I like how "oh my, will nothing destroy this thing?" to Samsung's "oh, it seems ok, everything is working" and how it "totally" comes apart when the back comes of (because it's not screwed on)…and biggest is not from height, but HOW it hits that matters, notice the difference in up/down to side hand movements when dropped….all I'm saying is that I have a boxful of broken iphone screens, and have only one Galaxy S and 3 htc (I work on phones, btw, and have a Galaxy S w/ platinum case and invisible shield)….thought I'd leave my nice little opinion, in case anyone was bored and thought that they'd love to read a comment by me (I'm bout to read it again)
@Ashraf: I have seen several drop tests with it. Mainly because I couldn't believe my eyes with how easily it broke. I also tend not to buy an expensive case. I usually buy a durable phone, and get a cheap belt thing, though if I do decide to get the S3, I will need to invest in a good Otterbox.
so, we're back at #4
Bloody liar!Anyway, I really have to go to bed! Enjoy your day/weekend!
Yours, Frank
K, here you go:
My benevolent dictator! I do worship you! I kiss your feet. I kiss the ground your feet touched (though it still smells as hell for cheese)! -
Actually the drop tests of the Galaxy S 3 have mostly dissuaded me from buying it. I am still considering it, however before it was a sure thing and I was excited about it, but after seeing the sharp decline in build quality from the tank-like structure of the S2 and S, I'm not so sure I want to support their new lazy build. What happened to using Gorilla Glass? Every phone I know with that can get slammed on the ground (not exaggerating) with barely a scratch to the glass.
…obviously you, 'Mr. Boss', DO though.
Does that lift me as a little slave up or does it bring you down to unworthy creatures? -
How does one upload a pic to comments?
BTW: Pic for comment 3) or4)? If Comment 4: Where the hell is /your/ proof? ;) -
BTW, you're a bloody LIAR!
How can you pretend to be "married to the most beautiful woman /ever/" if I am already?!? And I'm sure my wife doesn't even know you.
Now it's your turn – to justify yourself! ;) -
yeah, my Galaxy note just fell once (screen down) flat from waist height to the street.
Aaaaaaaaaannnnnnd its gone! Whole screen is broken.Dunno how many times my old HTC HD2 fell down. Surely 10 times or more. Just a few marks, but that's it…
While interesting to watch a sample size of one doesn't mean that much, particularly when dropped in slightly different ways from slightly different heights.

The TGF-beta pathway plays a central role in tissue homeostasis and morphogenesis. It transduces a variety of extracellular signals into intracellular transcriptional responses that control a plethora of cellular processes, including cell growth, apoptosis, and differentiation. We use computational modeling to show that coupling of signaling with receptor trafficking results in a highly versatile signal-processing unit, able to sense by itself absolute levels of ligand, temporal changes in ligand concentration, and ratios of multiple ligands. This coupling controls whether the response of the receptor module is transient or permanent and whether or not different signaling channels behave independently of each other. Our computational approach unifies seemingly disparate experimental observations and suggests specific changes in receptor trafficking patterns that can lead to phenotypes that favor tumor progression.

Now that the NHL has agreed to pay Wayne Gretzky money owed to him by former Phoenix Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes - around $7 to $8 million - The Great One may be interested in taking a front office job somewhere in the league.
The question is, where is he most likely to go?
An obvious choice is the Edmonton Oilers. Gretzky won four Stanley Cups with the Oilers from 1979-1988 before "the trade" sent him packing to sunny California to play with the Los Angeles Kings. Reuniting with Edmonton, a team that's struggled for a few years now, might be a match made in heaven.
On the other hand, already having reached the peak of the sport numerous times in Edmonton, No. 99 might decide to stay close to his hometown.
The Brantford, Ont. native was rumoured to be joining the Toronto Maple Leafs last summer. Being part of the group trying to bring the Cup back to Ontario's capital for the first time in 46 years might be too hard to resist. Tim Leiweke, President and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, has already made some big statements since taking over the job this past summer and hiring Gretzky would definitely make a splash.
TSN Hockey Insider, Darren Dreger, thinks Gretzky would be willing to listen if the Leafs engaged him in conservation about joining MLSE.
Then there's the big stage and intrigue of the Big Apple, working with the New York Rangers. Gretzky retired as a member of the Rangers in 1999 and going back might be in the cards.
Los Angeles - another former team - could also be an option. His family, including his celebrity daughter Paulina, lives there; which could be a factor.
Gretzky attended a Washington Capitals game last month, sitting with billionaire owner Ted Leonsis. Gretzky has no ties with the team, but with Leonsis having very deep pockets, money might be an intriguing factor.
With the Phoenix Coyotes now having stable ownership, the familiarity of the organization might interest The Great One who coached there from 2005-2009. Maybe he'll decide to go somewhere no one expects, or maybe, he'll continue to enjoy retired life and spend time with his family.
So we ask: Which NHL club is Wayne Gretzky most likely to go to? As always, it's Your! Call.

Swedish Medical Center Earns 'Top Performer on Key Quality Measures' Recognition from The Joint Commission
DENVER – Sept. 14, 2011 – Swedish Medical Center today was named one of the nation's top performers on key quality measures by The Joint Commission, the leading accreditor of health care organizations in America. Swedish along with two other HealthONE hospitals were recognized by The Joint Commission based on reported data about evidence-based clinical processes that are shown to improve care for certain conditions, including heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia.
Swedish, Rose Medical Center and North Suburban Medical Center are three of 405 U.S. hospitals and only five hospitals in Colorado earning the distinction of top performer on key quality measures for attaining and sustaining excellence in accountability measure performance. Inclusion on the list is based on an aggregation of accountability measure data reported to The Joint Commission during the previous calendar year. This year's first recognition program is based on data that were reported for 2010.
A Commitment to Improving Patient Care
"We understand that what matters most to patients at Swedish is safe, effective care. That's why Swedish has made a commitment to accreditation and to positive patient outcomes through evidence-based care processes," says Mary White, President & CEO. "Swedish is proud to be named to the list of The Joint Commission's Top Performers on Key Quality Measures."
Becoming a Top Performer
To be recognized as a top performer on key quality measures Swedish had to meet two 95 percent performance thresholds. First, they each achieved a composite performance of 95 percent or above after the results of all accountability measures for which it reports data to The Joint Commission were factored into a single score, including measures that had less than 30 eligible cases or patients. Second, they each met or exceeded a 95 percent performance target for every single accountability measure for which it reports data, excluding any measures with less than 30 eligible cases or patients.
Swedish was recognized for achieving three thresholds: heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia.
"Today, the public expects transparency in the reporting of performance at the hospitals where they receive care, and The Joint Commission is shining a light on the top performing hospitals such as North Suburban Medical Center, Rose Medical Center and Swedish Medical Center that have achieved excellence on a number of vital measures of quality care," said Mark R. Chassin, MD, FACP, MPP, MPH, president of The Joint Commission.
Three HealthONE Hospitals Recognized
The two other HealthONE hospitals receiving this distinction include North Suburban Hospital and Rose Hospital.
"At the HealthONE hospitals, we understand that what matters most to our patients is safe, effective care," said Lindy Garvin, Vice President of Quality for HealthONE. "Because of our obligation to our patients, we have made a commitment to accreditation and to positive patient outcomes through evidence-based care processes. We are proud that three of our facilities have been named to this exclusive list because it proves that our quality efforts are working and providing the best outcomes for our patients."
In addition to being included in today's release of The Joint Commission's "Improving America's Hospitals" annual report, the HealthONE hospitals will be recognized on The Joint Commission's Quality Check website.
About HealthONE
HealthONE is the largest healthcare system in the metro Denver area with 8,700 employees and 3,000 affiliated physicians. The health system is a Colorado company created in 1995 as a 50/50 joint venture between non-profit The Colorado Health Foundation, Colorado's second largest charitable foundation, and various affiliates of HCA (NYSE: HCA).

Are Your Web Graphics Print-Ready?
As a web designer, masters of the digital realm, you might have never faced the situation where your designs are going to be sent to a print shop.
Or perhaps you're an Internet business owner in a place right now where you need printed materials for an event (a conference, a meet-up, billboard advertising, and so forth). You might be an online retailer, a SaaS company, a web development agency, etc.
What happens when you've only got web graphics at hand? Graphics designed to be displayed on electronic devices like computer monitors and smartphones.
Working with Visual Weight in Your Designs
In design, visual weight is the notion that design elements have varied weights; that is, some objects, even on a two-dimensional medium, can appear to be heavier than others. Visual weight is a powerful concept that allows us to create visual hierarchy, symmetry, balance, and harmony in designs. When applied strategically, the concept of visual weight can help us guide the viewer's attention to the places we want in a design. This article covers the concept of visual weight and the factors that affect it.
JPEG 101: A Crash Course Guide on JPEG
JPEG, a compression algorithm optimized for photographic images, is something we encounter on a regular basis. JPEG is not limited to a certain amount of color (unlike GIF, for example) and is popular due to its variable compression range, meaning that you're able to more easily control the amount of compression, and consequently, the resultant image quality. In this guide, we will discuss the important things you need to know about JPEG.
5 Branding Basics Every Logo Designer Should Know

Beautiful Designs with Smoke Typography
There is something very beautiful and mysterious about smoke. Using smoke in a design can produce some amazing visual effects, as you can see in this collection. In case you want to incorporate smoke effects in your own designs, we've also included some design resources in this article that you can check out.

A Comparative Design Look at Remakes of Movie Posters
Movie posters have been around for longer than most of us have lived – thus, studying them can give us insights on how design has progressed throughout recent history. They were the main way of advertising film 70 years ago, and although we now have television commercials and the internet, posters are still one of the best forms of advertisement. In this collection, we will look at how poster design has developed over the years, looking at films that have been remade.
Comic Sans: The Font Everyone Loves to Hate
It seems like every designer out there has an opinion about the Comic Sans font, and it seems the overwhelming majority of those opinions are negative. How has a single font become the focus of so much ire? And what, exactly, is behind all the hate?

Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) activity is crucial for leukocyte function, but the roles of the four receptor-activated isoforms are unclear. Mice lacking heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled PI3Kgamma were viable and had fully differentiated neutrophils and macrophages. Chemoattractant-stimulated PI3Kgamma-/- neutrophils did not produce phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate, did not activate protein kinase B, and displayed impaired respiratory burst and motility. Peritoneal PI3Kgamma-null macrophages showed a reduced migration toward a wide range of chemotactic stimuli and a severely defective accumulation in a septic peritonitis model. These results demonstrate that PI3Kgamma is a crucial signaling molecule required for macrophage accumulation in inflammation.

…to the Chico Avenues Neighborhood Association (CANA) website. CANA coalesced in 2003 as a grassroots advocacy group for the Chico Avenues Neighborhood. Key concerns identified at that time included traffic, safe passage to school, preservation of neighborhood character and other quality of life issues. Following the approval of the Chico Avenues Neighborhood Plan, CANA pursued allocation of RDA funds for plan implementation. These funds were approved but have since been revoked in large part due to the disappearance of RDA funding by the State of California.
It's time to reassess our efforts and check in with the neighborhood about what is important in the Avenues. The survey is completely voluntary and the information that you provide will be confidential. That means that information will be summarized and no quotes will be used that would be identifiable to specific individuals.

6 Insane Coincidences You Won't Believe Actually Happened. Normally at Cracked, we're all about finding answers to tough questions.

Jo Dee Messina signs up to sell the WD-40 line of cleaners no one knew existed
August 08, 2011
Jo Dee Messina photo via Facebook
When I think of WD-40 I think of the mystery stuff in the yellow and blue can that I don't really have a clue what it's original purpose was, but I do know that it's got a whole bunch of uses that it was probably never intended for (check out some uses here).
That and it was always in my Grandpa's tool box and under the kitchen sink in my own home growing up.
Well apparently WD-40 isn't just the blue and yellow canned mystery liquid you know and maybe love, the company actually has an entire arsenal of cleaning products that we all probably use. I'm thinking it's probably this lack of product recognition that WD-40 is trying to fix by hiring celebrity spokesperson Jo Dee Messina.
All Access Music is reporting that Jo Dee has partnered with WD-40 for a marketing campaign called Unmistakably Clean. The accompanying Facebook page and website (I'm assuming it will be here) will have videos featuring Jo Dee as well as contests, including one which will have the winner flying to Nashville to meet Jo Dee and then appearing in an advertising campaign with her.
Jo Dee says, "I love entertaining, so I need products that allow me to clean my home quickly, easily and thoroughly – especially when trying to keep up with my son. Spot Shot, 2000 Flushes, x-14, and Carpet Fresh help me keep all areas of my home clean, including the kitchen, carpets, bathrooms, bedrooms and patio furniture, and because the products are so effective they significantly reduce the time I spend cleaning."
2000 Flushes and Carpet Fresh are WD-40 family members, huh? I guess Jo Dee's job here is done.

An Introduction to MINIX
Remember MINIX? Short for Minimal UNIX, MINIX is a close cousin of GNU/Linux. To GNU/Linux users, it is simultaneously familiar and foreign, and it challenges orthodox assumptions about how an operating system should be designed.
MINIX originally was developed in 1987 by Andrew S. Tanenbaum as a teaching tool for his textbook Operating Systems Design and Implementation. Today, it is a text-oriented operating system with a kernel of less than 6,000 lines of code. MINIX's largest claim to fame is as an example of a microkernel, in which each device driver runs as an isolated user-mode process—a structure that not only increases security but also reliability, because it means a bug in a driver cannot bring down the entire system.
In its heyday during the early 1990s, MINIX was popular among hobbyists and developers because of its inexpensive proprietary license. However, by the time it was licensed under a BSD-style license in 2000, MINIX had been overshadowed by other free-licensed operating systems.
Today, MINIX is best known as a footnote in GNU/Linux history. It inspired Linus Torvalds to develop Linux, and some of his early work was written on MINIX. Probably too, Torvalds' early decision to support the MINIX filesystem is responsible for the Linux kernel's support of almost every filesystem imaginable.
Later, Torvalds and Tanenbaum had a frank e-mail debate about the relative merits of macrokernels and microkernels. This early history resurfaced in 2004 when Kenneth Brown of the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution prepared a book alleging that Torvalds borrowed code from MINIX—a charge that Tanenbaum, among others, so comprehensively debunked, and the book was never actually published (see Resources).
Now at version 3.1.6, MINIX has taken a turn in its development. While versions 1 and 2 focused primarily on the operating system as a learning tool, with version 3, MINIX began targeting low-cost laptops and embedded devices as well. More generally, the project's Web page recommends MINIX for "applications where very high reliability is required" and for projects where the GNU General Public License would be too restrictive.
However, these new targets seem more ideal than real. I can find little evidence of MINIX being used in embedded devices or for its high reliability or licensing. Similarly, MINIX still lacks the user-friendliness that would make it a candidate for a project like One Laptop Per Child. As with previous releases, MINIX's greatest value continues to be as an educational aid to give users experience of another UNIX-like system.
Still, for those familiar with GNU/Linux, MINIX does take some acclimatization. Accordingly, what I present here is not a comprehensive review, but an introduction to help those who are interested in orienting themselves to MINIX, its structure and resources.
MINIX's hardware requirements (see Resources) should not be a major concern for most users. Requiring 16MB of RAM and a gigabyte of hard drive space, MINIX should install on most computers made in the last decade, even if all peripheral devices are not supported.
If you are interested mainly in studying MINIX, you might consider installing it in a virtual machine. MINIX is installable with a variety of virtualization solutions, including Bosch, QEMU, VMware and VirtualBox. Instructions for each solution are available on the project Web site. Installing MINIX as a guest operating system has the advantage of allowing you to make easy comparisons with a GNU/Linux host.
No matter how you decide to install MINIX, have some paper ready to take notes. Some on-line instructions are available, but, at the time of this writing, they differ so significantly from those provided by the installer that they are not reliable. The first set of instructions (Figure 1) is especially important because it explains the following:
That you install with the setup command.
How to shut down the system.
That you use xdm to start the X Window System.
That you use packman to install additional packages.
What the instructions do not mention is that you can log in after installation as the root user with no password.
Although text-based, the MINIX installer should provide few obstacles for anyone who has installed operating systems in the past. Probably the biggest standard challenge is to do expert partitioning, because MINIX has its own system. However, the default partition scheme, which includes separate partitions for /, /home and /usr, should be satisfactory for most users.
A more serious problem for some people will be the fact that MINIX supports only eight common Ethernet cards; the installer does, however, auto-detect cards.
True to its name, MINIX installs a minimal system. One of the installer's final warnings is that the first time you start the new installation, you should add users and passwords.
If you are installing on a multiboot system, you also need to add MINIX to the bootloader. For example, if you are using Legacy GRUB and MINIX is installed on the second partition of the first hard drive, the stanza in /boot/grub/menu.list would be:
title MINIX rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1
As with Windows, GRUB does not support MINIX natively and has to pass off its booting to MINIX's own bootloader.
-- Bruce Byfield (nanday)
Inconsistent naming conventions.
Given that Minix comes with bash as well, shouldn't you call it GNU/MINIX?
Or, really, shouldn't you just omit the GNU/ part altogether as this is an article about kernels, and GNU don't have anything to do with the kernels (as long as we're not talking about Hurd...).
Anyway I'm surprised that minix3 has gotten so much fatter! I used to run minix on a 8088 with 640 kB memory...
No, it should not be called gnu/minix. Many of the gnu tools have been ported to minix, and the user can choose to install them, but it natively runs either its own tools (the default shell is ash), or BSD based tools, which are not licensed under GPL.
Re to An introduction to minix
You forgot to add that the European union is funding the development of minix for a "reliable' operating system. So, just hold on. You might have a free as in freedom version of meego or the like.
excellent. five thumbs up!
Excellent article! A lot of work went into this. Thank you Bruce Byfield! And I love the bonus reference to Ken Brown's failed attempt to discredit Linux and Linus.
Please keep in mind that
Please keep in mind that Minix has shifted it's focus in version 3. Minix3 is designed from the ground up to be a reliable system, not just an academic one. It's promise is to be a system that will never, ever crash( with a 5-10 percent performance overhead of course). To the best of my knowledge it has never failed in testing.
The modular layered design, and in particular the treatment of device drivers( where bugs are far more common) as untrusted user space code also offers enhanced security. Here's an example given by Andrew Tannenbaum. Imagine a situation where a a Minix system's audio driver were exploited.
The computer could "make weird noises," but would have no access to the disk, network or memory subsystems effectively limiting what an attacker could accomplish. Each driver is kept separate from the others and communicates using the kernel, which is small and well understood, to pass messages.Note interestingly that with this design the disk driver cannot actually control the disk.
The reincarnation server is another amazingly cool idea and I am surprised you didn't mention it. It is a system that transparently replaces crashed or misbehaving drivers with copies stored in ram. Tannenbaum has reported testing systems by inducing 800,000 driver crashes and never once did they have a full system crash.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

On Monday 11 March, to mark National Apprenticeships Week, two of our young apprentices will be joining us for a live Q&A on Twitter at 1pm BST.
If you'd like to ask them a question about their experience, send us your questions via the comments area below or on Twitter using the hashtag #ROHapprentices. You may wish to ask them about what advice they'd give to those who want to work in the arts or about their experiences so far.
Tommy Judd is a Scenic Metalwork Apprentice in Thurrock while Georgia Butler is a Collections Apprentice in Covent Garden.
Our apprentices Q&A follows 'twinterviews' with artists from The Royal Opera and Royal Ballet including Marianela Nunez and Thiago Soares; John Tomlinson and Gary Avis.
The Royal Opera House would not be able to offer the wide range of apprenticeships for young people without the generous support of The Derek Butler Trust, John Lyon's Charity, The Headley Trust, Gordon Foundation, the Ashley Family Foundation, the Worshipful Company of Joiners and Ceilers Charitable Trust and an anonymous donor.
]]>We are very pleased to announce that Jamie Ashwell has joined the Education team in Thurrock as Cultural Venue Operations Apprentice.
Jamie is relatively young, at 18 years of age, but he has had a lot of experience of the arts and theatre (both front and backstage) already.
After finishing college in June of this year, he made the decision to apply for this new and exciting role in the Purfleet Education office. As well as gaining valuable work experience, he will also be studying towards the EDI Level 3 National Award in Cultural Heritage Venue Operations
Jamie said: "I am looking forward to the challenge of working in a different, new and exciting environment. I am excited to be at the forefront of future ROH Education events that shall be taking place at the High House Production Park."
Over the next two years Jamie will be heavily involved in supporting the team with on-site events and a new tours programme due to start in September.
By taking part in a work placement or by volunteering with the Royal Opera House at the High House Production Park, or at our Covent Garden theatre, you will gain an insight into one of the world's leading arts institutions. The experience will introduce you to the wide range of opportunities available within the creative industries, as well as helping you to develop your skills and enhance your opportunities for employment.

Annotation:Spotsylvania's tie-in to Alex Haley's Roots makes it of particular interest to travelers, but its prominence in the Civil War and the lives of its freedmen--their businesses, schools and churches--is really quite noteworthy. This historical brochure was written by Ruth Fitzgerald with assistance from members of the black community.
Annotation:This "The Way It Was" column features white women Lucy Landon Minor and her daughter, Mary Minor Blackford who, in the 1830s, worked for the Freedericksburg branch of the American Colonization Society. Fannie Richards, born to free blacks on Sophia Street in 1840, moved with her mother to Detroit in 1850, where she had a ground-breaking career in education. Also mentioned is Sophia Hatch, a white woman from Ohio who began a private school for blacks in Fredericksburg after the Civil War as well as local activists who spoke out for women's right to vote.
Annotation:Describes the service of local blacks in the American Revolution, their service--including on such ships as the Tempest, the Dragon, and the Revenge--and a bit on how some of their lives went after the war. (Free Lance-Star, February 24, 1996)
Annotation:Tells of Fredericksburg-born Matthew McKinley Garnett who enlisted as a "Buffalo Soldier" in 1876 and was honorably discharged on July 25, 1881, at Fort Davis, Texas. Afterward, he moved back to Fredericksburg where he became a leader in the community. (Free Lance-Star, April 9, 1994)
Annotation:Fredericksburg residents remember Christmas days of long ago. (Free Lance-Star, December 18, 1998)

Annotation:Ruth Coder Fitzgerald's major work on local black history covers through the Civil Rights era.
Annotation:An article from the March 22, 1980, issue of the Free Lance-Star examines why Ruth Fitzgerald wrote "A Different Story" and how she went about doing it.
Annotation:An engaging article written after Ruth's death tells of her community involvement in recent years and historical legacy, with quotes from Bill Beck, former mayor of Fredericksburg. (Free Lance-Star, April 15, 2013)
Annotation:Ruth and Barry Fitzgerald were a team who had spent their lives together since college. Barry was a reporter and photographer for the Free Lance-Star who worked previously as a Peace Corps volunteer where he taught elementary school and helped start a community newspaper in the Philippines. (Free Lance-Star, September 3, 2007)
Annotation:Her official obituary, published April 16, 2013.
Annotation:Tells of Ruth's determination and the process to get the "In Memory" plaque installed next to the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington.
Annotation:The story of Noah Davis, once a resident of Fredericksburg, who wrote a book in 1859 to make enough money to free his last two children from slavery. (Free Lance-Star, February 5, 1994)

No matter how good the ER9X is, the Turnigy/Flysky etc... 9X has quality problems. Most can be sorted out, but some are really pesky ones. For example, the material can be quite brittle, the sticks are not even sleeved, and the factory interface is quite limited (not to mention the lack of usable manual). Field equipment shouldn't be so brittle.
If FrSky can sort out the plastic quality, puts in bronze sleeves or ball bearings to the stick axis, makes throttle notches a built in option they already won. If I had one wish, I'd put two potmeters on the side like on Hitec radios. That'd be cash. Also screen on top part of the radio instead of bottom portion. |

All I want is that this radio can use multi modulation without taking the module. Built in Frsky modulation plus a socket let say dms2 module for bind and fly. Very flexible system including able to be updated or flash firmware of good developer out there to get the most out Frsky radio when we get'em. User friendly, lot of switches. Would be great sliders to use for flaps. Telemetry built in instead using external lcd to view you're voltage and some what. Yes a special telemetry screen above the transmitter would be good but not external. Built in govenor menu would be nice but not important. Slider would be better at the side of the transmiter like my 9 cap super. Ton of settings. Couple nobs. Big lcd screen maybe color. Alot of feature for planes, heli and gliders like Futaba 8fg. Resolution 2048 or more. I'm pretty sure it'll have some type of program for mp3 play back if not that is ok firmware creators would add one due to the processor unit has hardware sound accelerator to play mp3. Or other sound extension format.
I'm not asking much am I? Just to have a Frsky radio that just work and good price to get everybody aboard and leave the old technology behind us good. |

i agree about the LCD, just look at 14mz users looking for a dark spot to read the LCD,
a resistive one for make it even worst. i had an old casio agenda with dot matrix LCD that used 3 colors LCD (Casio sf 4650 ) thats the best and cheap sun readeable option i can think about for those complaining about the need of a color screen, but i am still quite happy with a monocrome one. I just ask for a quality LCD, with quick time response for avoid ghost effect and good contrast maybe also dimmable backlight. |

Site Status
Construction of the Fairfax County Parkway was finished in 2012 on 170 acres of the southeast portion of the Engineering Proving Ground (EPG). Ft. Belvoir completed the investigations and remediation at this area. Institutional controls and groundwater monitoring are part of the remedy at SWMU 26, 27 and the FATTs area (old gasoline spill area) which are located in the Parkway Right of Way (ROW). Ft. Belvoir coordinates with EPA on any on-going construction activities to ensure the institutional control plan is followed.
Investigations are on-going at some SWMUS located in the northern part of EPG. Phase III investigations include delineation of a groundwater contamination at Area of Concern 21, which was a munitions burial pit found during explosives clearance activities. Ft. Belvoir removed the munitions and contaminated soil. Risk assessment reports for various SWMUs have been submitted and are currently under EPA review.
The Engineer Proving Ground (EPG) is part of the U.S. Army Garrison at Fort Belvoir which is located in the Commonwealth of Virginia, 14 miles south of Washington, DC. EPG is an 807-acre tract located 1.5 miles northwest of the main post of Fort Belvoir. EPG is situated in Fairfax County and is bounded on the east by Interstate 95. Commercial and residential properties border EPG to the north, west, and south. The U.S. Army acquired the EPG in the early 1940s and used it as a testing and engineer training site. The testing and engineer training included methods and equipment for deployment, detection, and neutralization of land mines.
In September 2, 2005 EPA issued a Unilateral Order under Section 3013 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to investigate contamination at the site. Forty four SWMUs and 21 Areas of Concerns have been identified at EPG.

China: Lunar New Year without a bribe?
The Communist Party speaks sharply – yet again – in a bid to curtail flourishing seasonal corruption.
Aly Song/Reuters
Spare a thought, as Chinese New Year approaches, for Song Yuanfang.
The Communist Party boss in the eastern town of Liaocheng, Mr. Song could have expected a generous holiday gift from a local gas distribution company, according to his entry in that company's "2009 Public Relations Maintenance Budget," which somebody leaked this week on the Internet.
The document's publication presumably forestalled that particular bribe. But elsewhere in China, corruption is flourishing with special seasonal vigor.
The Lunar New Year is China's biggest holiday, and according to a recent article in the People's Daily, the ruling Communist Party's mouthpiece, "more than 80 percent of corruption cases occur during the holidays."
That, the paper explained, is because "some officials normally alert to bribery relax their vigilance in a happy and joyful atmosphere and accept gifts. Then they cannot stop themselves, and slide into the criminal abyss."
The New Year, at which gift-giving is traditional not only among family members but also between business contacts, offers ideal cover for bribery, of course. Whose eyebrows are raised by the offer of a holiday present?
The same sort of problem arises at the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Chinese give each other "moon cakes." So elaborate had the "accessories" included with the cakes become – watches and cellphones were popular – that two years ago the government imposed rules stipulating that packaging and accessories should not be worth more than 25 percent of the value of the moon cakes themselves.
This year, with an economic downturn clouding the New Year atmosphere, and millions of Chinese losing their jobs, the authorities recently issued guidelines on how government and Communist Party officials should behave over the holiday season.

August 23rd, 2007 at 7:35pmThis sounds like fun but I can't participate because I live in Canada :( So instead of being sad I will post my entry here and maybe others can be inspired too! You will notice that Decor8 has inspired me quite a bit and I look forward to reading it everyday ? keep up the good work Holly!
To see pictures of my space you?d have to visit my flickr page or my blog which are listed below.
If I were able to participate in this contest I would say:
"As a first time home buyer I was not able to splurge on all the designer furniture I had always dreamed about due to monetary issues (a.k.a. mortgage payments ? ick!). Instead I became inspired by greens, oranges, and blues, as well as a concert poster of my favourite band. Putting off making luxurious furniture purchases allowed me to explore some unique design ideas, such as putting up wall decals and experimenting with bold patterns on the sofa slip cover. I like to think of my design sense as thrifty, modern and unique.

Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center
Area of Operations: Cayman Trough, Jamaica, Cayman Islands, Caribbean Sea, North America, North Atlantic
Dates: January 07, 1987 to January 19, 1987
Chief scientist: Bill DillonTerry Edgar
Objectives: To provide further geophysical data to aid the interpretation of a GLORIA survey conducted in the area in October 1985, and to obtain knowledge pertinent to the general structural analysis of the northern boundary of the Caribbean Plate. The GLORIA survey consisted of a grid in the central Cayman Trough and a single swath eastward through the Trough to the Windward Passage.
Type of Activity: Seismic profiling;
Information to be derived: Seismic profiles
Summary: The cruise operated in the eastern Cayman Trough, northeast and north of Jamaica, and in the central Cayman Trough, south of the Cayman Islands. The seismic system operated well throughout the cruise, once initial streamer problems were worked out. End points of seismic profiles are indicated in the appendix. A total of 1270 nautical miles (2352 km) of seismic data were collected. The Starfix navigation system worked perfectly throughout the cruise giving excellent results. The gravity system also worked well. Unfortunately, both the magnetometer and seismic tape recorder failed early in the cruise, and, after considerable effort, were found to be unrepairable. The tape recorder had mechanical problems in the tape takeup system. The magnetometer first developed noise due to inadequate fluid in the bottle resulting from a broken pressure-compensating diaphragm. An emergency repair was made by D. Nichols, consisting of removing the diaphragm, sealing the pressure compensation holes in the bottle, and filling it with clean diesel fuel. This worked well and provided excellent, quiet data for about a day. However, further problems developed due to short circuits in the tow cable which were unrepairable. Eastern Cayman Trough Survey: 9 survey lines; Central Cayman Trough Survey: 22 survey lines.

Weekend Herb Blogging #5: Curly Parsley
6 comments:
Hi Kalyn:
Thanks for posting about curly parsley. Yes, she is the queen of umbel family with greenish-yellow flowers and aromatic and curled leaves. I love Parsley.
For this weekend's herb, I have selected keerai - another leafy wonder. Here is the link - http://mydhaba.blogspot.com/2005/11/keerai-weekend-herb.html. See you on Sunday evening.Kalyn,
One Saturday afternoon I was filled in for my father and took my mother to the opera (I'm not an opera-lover myself) and we stopped into the Falafel House for a bite to eat on the way. The owner has sitting at a back table with a huge bowl filled with parsley that she was running through a Cuisinart to make tabouleh.
Oy, yoh, yoh... What a smell that place had. Hot oil, cigarette smoke, some kind of fresh-bread odor, and the rainey smell fresh parsley pervading everything.
Thanks for joining the conversation! I love hearing from readers and even though I can't always reply to every comment, I will always answer specific questions on a recipe as soon as possible. Sometimes I'm answering by iPhone, so my replies may be short!
Comments don't appear on the blog until they're approved by me, so no need to try again if you don't see it when you post the comment! Please make your signature a link to your site if you're a blogger, but other links posted within the body of the comment will never be published.
