April 11, 2011 at 12:57 PM ET
The rift between the olds and the youngs, called out in the tumultuous '60s in songs such as The Who's "My Generation" and Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are a-Changin," is at last healed by another popular tune that defines an age: Rebecca Black's "Friday."
Turns out, the song the Internet claims to hate, that became the meme that won't go away, is equally reviled by the age group to which it's targeted as it is the grups.
In their latest "Kids React" installment, YouTube comedians The Fine Brothers subject impressionable youth to the "most hated song on YouTube," and let hilarity ensue.
"It was entertaining because it was terrible," says Lia, 14, who nonetheless admits "I've seen this video so many times."
Meanwhile, William, 10, asks "Do I have to listen to the whole song?"
Not all the reviews were bad however. Morgan, 6, describes "Friday" as "Dessert with a pig on top."
The more irritated kids in the group are more forgiving once they learn,"the video was written, produced and uploaded by a company that charged her parents thousands of dollars to make it for her under the guise that it's going to be an awesome video."
According to Darius, 11, "If I was the parents, I would sue."
More from the Fine Brothers:
Helen A.S. Popkin goes blah blah blah about the Internet. Tell her to get a real job on Twitter and/or Facebook.

Council of Europe profile
The Council of Europe, Europe's oldest political body, aims to uphold human rights, democracy and the rule of law across the continent.
It emerged in 1949 from the ashes of World War II and now includes all European countries apart from Belarus, where the council is concerned about the human rights situation, and Kosovo, the independence of which is not recognised by many Council of Europe members.
Key events
- 5 May 1949: Council formed under Treaty of London
- 1950: Convention on Human Rights signed
- 1959: European Court of Human Rights set up in Strasbourg
- 1993: Vienna Summit heralds accession of new democracies
Profile compiled by BBC Monitoring
Members must respect the rights and freedoms laid out in the body's treaties, including its centrepiece, the European Convention on Human Rights. The council oversees and enforces rulings made by the European Court of Human Rights, which considers cases brought by individuals and groups against the signatories to the convention.
Pre-occupied with terrorAfter 1989 the council gained a new political focus with the accession of Europe's post-communist democracies. Russia in particular promised to make significant reforms to allay concerns about human rights and its judicial system.
Key facts
- Members: 47 European countries
- Founder members: Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, UK
- Candidate for membership: Belarus
- Observer nations: Canada, Japan, Mexico, US, Vatican
- Headquarters: Palais de l'Europe, Strasbourg, France
- Staff: 1,800 (approximately)
- Official languages: English, French
Lately, the council has become preoccupied with the problems of terrorism, organised crime, money laundering and human trafficking. Its broad remit also includes the fields of education, the environment, health and culture.
The treatment of terror suspects has in recent years received considerable attention from the council. In 2006, it published a report into allegations of secret CIA detention centres in Europe which concluded that Council of Europe member states had colluded in this system.
Funding comes from member states; their contributions are determined according to wealth and population. The council is a stand-alone body, and not a branch of the European Union.
A secretary-general has described the council's work as "low key and gentle; it does not make headlines".
Secretary-general: Has overall responsibility for the council's work and its budget and is elected to a five-year term by the Parliamentary Assembly. Thorbjoern Jagland, a former prime minister of Norway, took up the post in October 2009.
Commissioner for Human Rights: A post set up in 1999 to promote human rights and identify legal shortcomings to this. Elected by the Parliamentary Assembly.
Convention on human rights
Articles include:
- Right to life
- Prohibition of torture
- Prohibition of slavery, forced labour
- Right to liberty, security
- Right to a fair trial
- Freedom of thought, conscience, religion
- Freedom of expression
Committee of Ministers: Decision-making body, consisting of the foreign ministers of member states.
Parliamentary Assembly: Comprising 630 MPs from member states, it meets four times a year to debate matters of current concern and to offer guidance to the Committee of Ministers. Representation is based on the population size of member countries. Political groupings, reflecting ideology rather than nationality, have emerged.
Congress of Local and Regional Authorities: A forum for local elected representatives, it has a key role in helping recently-joined member states.
There is concern inside and outside the Council of Europe that its work overlaps with that of other pan-European bodies, including the European Union and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The EU plans to enhance the role of its anti-racism body to monitor certain types of human rights abuses.
Critics accuse the council of being a talking shop with little power, other than mild diplomatic pressure, to halt rights abuses.

You are here: Main / Customer Services / Public Communications Division / 2005 / Hirata Retires From Transportation Services Post |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 30, 2005 Release No. M-74 HIRATA RETIRES FROM TRANSPORTATION SERVICES POST Edward Y. Hirata, director of the City Department of Transportation Services, has retired effective today. "When I convinced Ed to join my cabinet in January, it was initially only for six months," said Mayor Mufi Hannemann. "We twisted his arm to stay on for a few more months. But I've always said that family comes first, and his family wants him back full-time. "In the short time he was with us, Ed helped us immensely with rail transit, handled some of this administration's toughest issues and restored morale at the Department of Transportation Services. We will miss him greatly," said Hannemann. This was Hirata's second stint with the City. He started as the director of the Building Department in 1969, for then-brand new Mayor Frank Fasi, and served as head of public works, the Board of Water Supply and as managing director, the No. 2 position in City government. He was president of Honolulu Wood Treating Co., held various executive positions with Hawaiian Electric Co. and as state transportation director. Hirata is also a retired brigadier general, having served 33 years in the Army Reserve. Until a permanent replacement is appointed, Transportation Services Deputy Director Alfred A. Tanaka will head the department. Tanaka, whom Hannemann appointed deputy in July, has been with the City since 1968, beginning as a civil engineer. He held supervisory and management posts with the Department of Public Works and the Department of Design and Construction since 1991 As chief of special projects for Design and Construction, he developed the program of localized street rehabilitation that the Hannemann administration is employing to catch up on long-neglected road maintenance. -30- Contact: Mark Matsunaga, 527-5767 Bill Brennan, 527-6928 |

GCSEs are an academic qualification achieved by students in secondary education in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. They have replaced the previous 'O Levels' in 1988. Colleges and employers highly value GCSEs which is why they are studied by adult learners who want to improve or update their qualifications.
Available in a wide range of academic and work-related subjects, the courses mainly involve studying the theory of a subject, combined with some investigative work and, in some subjects, practical work.
IGCSEs are an international adaptation of the UK GCSE and have become immensely popular with learners and teachers both internationally and within the UK.
With ICS you will study your GCSE or IGCSE course from home. Our tutors will provide you with test papers and mock exams so that you gain valuable feedback on your progress. To achieve your qualification you will be assessed externally through the official awarding bodies.
I am 36 years old and dreamed of becoming a midwife, so I took an Access course and embarked on my ICS GCSE in maths. I had to take a maths exam before my interview and subsequently gained a place on my chosen university course. My maths skills are required throughout my university course and will be required throughout my new career.

Watch award-nominated movies
It's award show season! Catch up on critically acclaimed movies before the winners are announced - On Demand and streaming.
Four of our favorite funnymen have joined forces in one of the summer's hottest comedies. Jonah Hill, Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, and British comedian Richard Ayoade play dads who form a neighborhood watch group to escape the tedium of their suburban lives. While on duty, they discover that alien invaders are planning to take over the world and soon find themselves in the ultimate mission to protect humanity.
Throughout the last decade, these guys have left us in stitches with their crazy talent, giving life to unforgettable stories and ludicrous characters on the big screen. As you get ready for the premiere of The Watch on July 27, take a look at some of our favorite comedies starring these masters of the comedic stage.
Jonah Hill plays Seth, a hormonally-charged high school senior on a mission to break his losing streak with the opposite sex before he and his best buddy Evan (Michael Cera) head off to college. This Judd Apatow classic is witty and crude, but it's also a heartfelt tale of friendship with genuine sweetness and honesty.
Wedding Crashers
Jeremy Klen (Vince Vaughn) and John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) are a pair of cynical scoundrels whose favorite hobby is to crash wedding receptions and try to seduce the bridesmaids. When they decide to attend the wedding of the year, their evening doesn't go according to plan. This comedy gave Vaughn the perfect opportunity to showcase his signature snappy delivery of quotable lines.
In this satire of the fashion industry, Ben Stiller is Derek Zoolander, an airheaded but internationally renowned male model who experiences the highs and lows of the fickle fashion world. Finding himself threatened by rival Hansel (Owen Wilson) and forced into retirement, Zoolander is brainwashed and used as a pawn in the assassination of the president of Malaysia.
Bunny and the Bull
In this witty British comedy, Richard Ayoade plays the role of the Museum Curator, whom Stephen (Edward Hogg) and Bunny (Simon Farnaby) encounter during their roadtrip across Europe. Lauded as a whimsical tale in the style of Michel Gondry, the film is gives you a good look into Ayoade's offbeat comic talent.

Stop BTC Antennas Above Our Kids' Heads
Fellow concerned BTC Members and parents, please read *this
has important implications*:
Like us, you may not be aware of an application just
presented to the city by the BTC Board and ATT to mount a grouping of 9 to 12 AT&T 4G LTE Antennas (each over a foot in height) on the roof above the snack
shack that will serve a majority of Tiburon.
Per the TRK report, this installation creates
measurable radiation on the surrounding pool area and homes, which includes our
families congregating poolside, children attending the 9-4 pm daycare/camps, or
waiting in line at the snack bar.
Given the effects of cellular radiation, municipalities have adopted a measure requiring that wireless facilities not be located where children congregate. This is because of the thin developing skulls of young children. The Tiburon ordinance specifically states, "Wireless Communications Facilities should avoid locations within, or close proximity to, the following uses: dwelling units; hospitals; child care centers; and schools."
So I ask you, why is the Board, which is supposed to
represent its membership base, trying to put this antenna farm above our children's
heads? This is something that should have been presented to the
membership base, as it creates a material health concern for our kids, as well
as potentially impacting our ability to solicit new members.
ACTION: Please sign e-petition below requesting the application be withdrawn for further discussion with the membership base. Also please forward to others who may also be concerned.
Below is an illustration of what will be above the snack

"The first thing I remember going through my head is like, holy fuck, my gun just went off, you know, and then I looked and he was still standing for a second, so, like, you know, thank God I didn't hit him," Perry said. "And then I noticed he fell down on the ground."
Asked why he and Mosca didn't talk and coordinate the takedown, Perry said: "You know, Monday morning quarterback, there probably should have been more of that, but in the heat of the moment with everything going on and to tally everything up that I was facing, it's just the way it went down."
The critical factor, Perry claimed, was Gomez's swinging around and hitting his arm with such force that the gun went off.
If that happened, asked the investigators, why didn't Perry tell anybody that night that Gomez had hit his arm? Perry responded that he was told "by basically from lieutenant colonels to sergeants that showed at the scene to keep my mouth shut and say nothing until my attorney got there."
Although too late for Gomez, BSO fired Perry in February 2005 for, among other violations, interfering with an investigation and untruthfulness. In the fall of 2004, Perry had pulled into the parking lot of the Booby Trap, a Pompano Beach strip club. From the driver's seat of his squad car, Perry had asked a stripper to take two pictures of her vagina using a cell phone camera, which he then carried away. The stripper told investigators that Perry had told her during the course of the internal affairs probe that she should answer no questions about the incident.
Even after Perry no longer worked for BSO, however, his transgressions revisited the agency. He now stands charged with official misconduct and perjury in a case that involved several other deputies and a cover-up of a collision of his cruiser in November 2003.
Investigators asked Perry why he didn't call in to dispatch immediately after the crash, as policy requires. Perry replied: "I, I, I just froze up. I was shocked that I was hit. I was angry. I had tunnel vision." The statement, it later turned out, was a complete fabrication.
The cover-up was discovered a year later after one of the deputies involved unwittingly confessed on tape. He'd stopped a driver and conducted a DUI assessment that was recorded. Apparently forgetting that the audio-video device was still on, the deputy began chattering to a colleague about the time he and Perry had chased after a stolen car even after being ordered to stop the pursuit. Perry had passed the stolen car at about 50 mph on a city street, pulled in front of it, and was rammed. The stolen car zoomed away, and the deputies involved gathered elsewhere to get their story straight. Once the tape was reviewed, the case blew wide open.
Although Perry's credibility as a witness is gone, BSO has continued to litigate, even stall the Gomez case. In late April, a federal court judge sanctioned BSO's attorney for not providing documents requested by Kubiliun. BSO's attorney, Bruce Jolly, declined to comment about Perry for this article.
"Germán Gomez should be taken care of for the rest of his life," Kubiliun says, "because there was no reason for this officer to have been hired or even been on the force that night. He happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and when I say the wrong place, that was in front of Lewis Perry."
Gomez says he's angry about what happened to him, but his almost childlike demeanor doesn't convey that.
"To remember exactly what happened is difficult for me," he says, with a sad smile. "God has obviously saved my life."

Redbreast (12 year) Irish Whiskey
March 16, 2011
Just in time for St. Patrick's Day! I'll be toasting the emerald isles with Redbreast – that gem of traditional Irish single pot still whiskey.
Redbreast is the 100% pure (single) pot still whiskey made by Irish Distillers Ltd. (IDL) at the "New" Midleton distillery. At the same distillery, the company's other brown spirits, Jameson and Powers (both blends of grain whiskey with pot still whiskey) are produced using the same stills (three column and four pot stills). A smattering of other whiskeys are made here as well, including (by contract) Green Spot and Tullamore Dew. In fact, as my brother-in-law likes to put it – Jameson is basically watered-down Redbreast (that is, 'diluted' with grain whiskey).
Irish single pot still whiskey is similar in ethos to single-malt whisky. While the mashbill contains both unmalted and malted barley (usually in a ratio of 60 to 40), unlike single malt, the combination of both is distilled in traditional copper pot stills, which introduce a lot of character into the spirit (whereas stainless-steel column stills yield light, vodka-like grain spirit with little natural character). This yields a complex whiskey with a distinct oily, full mouthfeel. This "greasy" style of body is present in spades in Redbreast, but is difficult to discern (for me) in the blends containing only 40% pot still whiskey, such as Jameson and Powers. Redbreast will always have a spot on my shelf – not just because of the myriad awards it wins, but because its unique character and reasonable price point fit perfectly into my rotation of regulars.
Nose: A shock of greasy toffee and bacon fat, a hint of industrial solvent. Lots of spicy dried coconut and white pepper. Right out of the bottle, the young grain component (unmalted barley) is a little too sharp – a few minutes undisturbed in the glass will mellow this. Water dulls the nose… Don't do it!
Palate: That pot-still greasiness and chewy mouth coating fullness is delectable. Lots of sweet brown sugar or molasses, root beer, and marshmallow. More dried coconut, some black licorice. Water only thins the body.
Finish: Very long and drenched in coconut, mixed dried herbs, and lavender. Later the coconut degrades into an impure cane sugar bitterness. Best to wash this away with more Redbreast!
Redbreast 12 is a must-try for that unique toothy quality. It's a must-have because this level of quality just isn't available at this price in competing single malts. Don't bother with the water – you'll only mess with the mouthfeel. Enjoy it as-is.
10 Responses to Redbreast (12 year) Irish Whiskey
This is one of my favorite whiskeys – I'll always have a bottle of this around. Anyone that I've introduced it to LOVES it. Read a review of it by John Hansell, tried it and fell in love. Your statement: "this level of quality just isn't available at this price in competing single malts" – SPOT ON.
Redbreast is pretty good, but not as good as your review suggests.
"Redbreast 12 is a must-try for that unique toothy quality. It's a must-have because this level of quality just isn't available at this price in competing single malts. Don't bother with the water – you'll only mess with the mouthfeel. Enjoy it as-is."
Yes, many single malt Scotch and Japanese whiskies compete and dominate in this price catagory. Two examples: Highland Park 12 YO, Yamazaki 12 YO. Redbreast suffers from a less refined, spicy palate. Water is necessary to tame it. It is a good whisky and a surprise for those used to the less complex Irish whiskies. my tasting notes resulted in a 86/100 score…very respectable stuff, but no panacea.
Really great stuff.
Just a note — copper stills vs. stainless steel stills don't make a difference in how light the flavor is. That'd all be in the shape and design of the still.
I think your suggestion to let the drink sit in the glass for a few minutes before drinking is right on! I just tried this tonight and it made a world of difference. I'm about 3/4 of the way through the bottle, and up until now, I found the nose and palate to be too harsh that I couldn't appreciate the underlying deliciousness. I'm loving the bacon grease, brown sugar, and marshmallow flavors that eluded me previously. Thanks for the tip!
I have to say that this whiskey, albeit rather light and airy – yet ethanoly, is relatively complex and does several pleasurable things in ones system when combined with a good cuban. My favourites are Blackbush and especially Jameson 12 yrs but this one beats them both in some respects.
I have had my fair share of sipping whiskey's but the Rolls Royce is Red Breast 12. It should be served straight up. Don't hide the scent or taste (dilute). Add a teaspoon of cold water after every sip to wake those flavors up from time to time. I have had the 15 year Red Breast, and the bite seems a little too strong for my palate. I have turned on a lot of people to Red Breast. You can't go wrong.
on my fifth bottle of redbreast 12 yr this year 2014.i have to say i bought the green spot a few months ago, and was really not impressed with it.for the few extra dollars for the redbreast it's quite an improvement,you are getting the full 12 years of maturation,green spot 7 to 10 years.to me redbreast regular 12 yr 40% abv.is the finest irish whiskey on the market today,GET SOME!!!!! STEVE G BOSTON,MASS.

It is crucial that you think of translucent envelopes if thinking of delivering items from the mail. This can safeguard your item from the actual elements and enable you to definitely mail them safely. In case you initially wrap your products in a bag similar to this then it can protect it out of virtually any rain damage when you place it in an envelope. Several merchants use these varieties of envelopes to protect their goods while in transit. I am sure you are aware regarding the diverse uses of these kinds of envelopes however in the following paragraphs will talk about several of the reasons for utilizing them and some ideas that you never have considered.
Translucent/transparent envelopes can be found in various measurements and can be used in many different ways within the packaging sector. They are able to protect products from getting soiled or even destroyed while in cargo. In the following paragraphs we provide some good information over the various kinds of these sorts of envelopes and the way to best use them to get the best out of them. You have to consider to begin with exactly how thick you want them to be and next what size you would like them thus be sure you measure your merchandise carefully. The worst thing could be to put too much inside the envelope and then have it break, therefore leaving the envelope ineffective.
Lots of people think of translucent/transparent envelopes as an item to contain your goods if you are taking them home out of the grocery store. This is simply not necessarily the case as these types of envelopes have many functions from the packaging business. They usually are very useful with protecting goods that you decide to shop for or send out within the postal mail. And I'm positive you're mindful that damage is one of the worst things that can happen to your items, hence it really is crucial to safeguard from that.
Cellophane that makes up most translucent/transparent envelopes was initially invented in about 1900 by a Swiss chemist. And also all of them being used regarding packaging mostly foodstuff and also wet merchandise there are also numerous commercial uses that make these envelopes very beneficial in various industrial sectors. The actual computer industry also uses the kind of backs to protect from any water damage and mold because hardware for computer systems is pretty expensive and when destroyed can cost a ton of money to replenish.
Transparent/translucent envelopes can safeguard many products from any spillage concerning moist fluids or rain. Regardless of the truth that outdoor handling of countless personal merchandise is actually placed as low as possible it'll always come about and also there will be a chance that your items can be destroyed while in transit from the weather. Particularly if you are mailing goods overseas it is essential to ensure that this doesn't occur. These kinds of envelopes can look after from many problems and when covered with a different packaging also can double up the protection.
A few things that may be safeguarded through the variety of Translucent/Transparent Envelopes are generally foodstuffs which will help maintain the taste and maintain the foodstuff shielded from any sort of damage. Pc components are also another essential object and they demand a great deal of money so could be covered in plastic to avoid them coming into exposure to just about any wet material. Whenever you are delivering back the goods or perhaps fluids over the mail you may choose to enclose them in one of such envelopes to make certain that they don't flow onto various other items inside the back.
As you may know it truly is not possible to calculate the climate tickly when you are mailing merchandise overseas. Monsoon months and moist months can be seen in several countries and in case your goods are in transit through one of the seasons and it is necessary to offer all of them the safety that you could. Translucent/transparent envelopes will assist you to do this by simply ensuring that you keep as much water damage and mold of the merchandise as you can. An excellent item to put in this particular variety of packaging could be garments which can be destroyed if made moist but when you use one of these brilliant envelopes you could still see the merchandise inside to discover whether it's the way you like. Countless industry investors utilize the type of packagings since they're out in just about all weathers.
In other words it is essential to protect the products in translucent/transparent envelopes in order for you to be able to get them get to their destination undamaged and that is a really cheap way to do it. If you buy these things in big amounts you'll be able to gain a surprisingly low cost for every bag and this can help to save needing to replace items which have become broken so could save you a lot more cash. By the end of the day every business wants to spend less which is a very good way of doing so and never have to pay out much cash to start off with.
To sum up you must currently have much more of a concept of where to use translucent/transparent envelopes in your organization. Whether it is to encase goods that might be wet destroyed, or maybe for you to make sure that your products do not leak on to somebody else's, I'm sure you would be able to get a fantastic use for these and in addition they could save you funds in the end. In case mentioned above previously you will be delivering products in the mail you cannot account of the weather conditions which means this would likely make sure that your client delighted with the items which you have delivered them because they would not endure any damp damage within the mail.
So precisely what are you waiting around for? Go out and buy some translucent/transparent envelopes right now and make sure that your business goods are actually protected while in transit. Protect your electrical items your foodstuffs or your bath goods simply by increasing all of them in one of these envelopes when you pack them straight into an envelope to deliver within the mail or maybe before you can place them on display in an exterior arena. You can save cash as well as protect your products and the consequence will likely be great for your bottom line.

U.S. trade groups questioned India's "lack of transparency" in developing rules to restrict imports of high-tech products, saying outreach to international stakeholders has been "conspicuously absent" during the process.
In comments sent Jan. 24 to three Indian officials involved in technology policy-making, three U.S.trade groups – the Information Technology Industry Council, Telecommunications Industry Association and U.S.-India Business Council – raised concerns about the draft import restrictions and India's lack of engagement with foreign investors on the matter.

Henrik Fisker's 'Timeless' Automotive Designs
Fisker Sunset
Planned production TBA
The Karma isn't slated to roll into driveways until sometime next year, but Fisker already has his second model in the works — the Sunset, a convertible based on the Karma. From the start, Fisker had only one goal: Create the ultimate open-top luxury car.
"There was no compromise made on that," he says. "Its all about beauty and the open road."
The open road is where Fisker, who was born in Denmark, fell in love with cars. He was a boy riding in his father's Saab 96 when a Maserati Bora passed by. Fisker found it utterly gorgeous. The die was cast, a design aficionado born.
"I realized I love the way cars look," he says. "I wanted to be a part of it. Like most little boys, I was drawing cars. Sooner or later they grow out of it, but I never did."

The balsa builders will generally want to report to the area with the respective "type" of balsa craft.. (glider, high performance, scale, etc.)
It is the logical position given the more limited numbers and specialized nature of such craft. Seems like an uphill battle for the OP so let me help.. Personally, I would like to see the same sratch-builder revolution with balsa as has happened with the foam forum. If such a place exist, it may inspire me to build another as I get to see other's balsa aircraft in more volume than I normally get to see in my limited searching. One inspires another, resources are pooled, and that forum stays alive and well. I know this presents an argument both ways, so I say YES. I think it should be the "Balsa Builder's" forum to include everything balsa, kit or scratch built. |

I would like to see the word Kit maybe dropped from the Fourm. There is some skill required to build a kit, but anyone can go buy one, throw it together and go flying. That would get boring, the only thing that would change is the colour scheme. As far as balsa scale, balsa kit, balsa sport, balsa sailplane and whatever other balsa type there may be, let people put their build in the already existing Fourm unless it is a scratch build. Then they may chose to go here or there.
I would like to see this fourm stay a scratch build, own design whether be gas or electric. The fourm should bring new ideas and design to our hobby. Some of you older guys could dig through the pile, pull out an old idea whether it flew or not, tweek it and share the wealth of information thats accumulated over the years. The sharing of copyrighted plans is illegal, but personal plans, its up to the creator. This would give younger people a chance to see just how it's done and maybe try their hand at balsa instead of the hot wire. The Fourm would also cut down on the searching through RCG mumble jumble when your just looking for a new idea to use that balsa on. Also the fourm should allow other material, I can't see away around that, for instance a sailplane with a carbon boom. Plastic servo covers on the wing. Plastic or fiberglass engine cowling you guys get the idea. Quote:

I have to disagree with Scallopking already,and it's not even a forum yet..What part of balsa only,did you not understand?
A carbon fiber tail boom is fragmenting...pure and simple..new tools,new techniques,new safety concerns......now if you build the tail boom out of laminations,or a box type fuselage,that'll be a balsa build. I'm talking about a build I did recently,a Ziroli F9F Panther....there isn't a straight piece of wood in that airplane..Strip planking around impossible compound curves,just made my heart soar.You can buy a fiberglass fuselage,but that's bordering on an ARF. If it's going to be a balsa building forum,I'm in -if not,I'll sadly retract my vote. See-that's with an iron hand.! |

I still think that MikeRx has the best idea and everyone can hash out the rules later. We need to get the spot for us first then set some rules. BTW rc trainer plane has showed up some of us older builders by taking the time and guts to start all of this and i myself wanted to thank him. Very nice job sir. joe

Right.Sorry I didn't think of that.Did you follow his build? He can only advance the balsa building part of thr hobby,he just got in there and DID it.!

The OverAchiever: The curious case of the Grey Riding Camel {WoW}
Mar 17th 2011 6:24PM Great article! I've started the hunt for this guy, as well. An interesting fact: There are 2 different types of Camel Figurines; One that is the dud, and the other that ports you up to Feralas. This is apparent on WoWhead by seeing that the second item id (50409) includes the cyclone effect to teleport you. So, in my opinion, enlisting NPC scan's help is actually a great idea, since you can put in the 'active' Camel Figurine id and search for it. No need to empty the cache when it only pops to yield your mount.

We're sure going to miss you, but we know it's time to say goodbye.

…Magic City Original Recipes: Spring Peas and Carrots with Browned Butter

Spring is in the air and with it comes a new season of produce. A trip to Pepper Place Market reveals stalls teaming with green topped onions, vine ripe Alabama strawberries and the most handsome carrots you've ever seen.

Blight to right in Five Points South
blog by Emily Lowrey • April 15, 2013 @ 10:33am •
I like to drive up to 18th Avenue South in Five Points on occasion to look at the city scape and contemplate how it's changing. Inevitably, I land on "Why have other cities solved some of the problems we haven't even begun to recognize yet?" and for me that question always ties into how we as a community care for our buildings.

Missouri State bookstore manager admits embezzlement
The former manager of the Missouri State University Bookstore has pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $1 million from the university.
Mark Brixey pleaded guilty Tuesday to theft, money laundering and filing a false income tax return. He admitted he embezzled more than $1.1 million over eight years.
KYTV reports university officials discovered the theft last summer when they found $81,000 in cash in Brixey's desk while he was on vacation. Investigators say Brixey converted checks from textbook companies to cash, rather than using the money to buy back textbooks from students.
Investigators also say Bixey converted money deposited in his credit union account to a certificate of deposit, and didn't report more than $194,000 in stolen cash on his 2010 return.
A sentencing date has not been set.

By the His mercy Allah, may He be exalted, does not bring a person to account for whispers in the heart (waswaas) and passing thoughts, as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, will forgive my ummah for whatever crosses their minds so long as they do not act upon it or speak of it.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5269) and Muslim (127).
If the one who is suffering from depression and the like thinks to himself of kufr or sin, he will not be brought to account for that on condition that he does not utter it or act upon it.
If we assume that this sick person uttered what was on his mind under the pressure of his illness or of the whispers in his heart in the sense that he was overcome and could not help it, and these words came out of him without him intending that, then he will not be brought to account for that, because he did not intend to say it out loud.
Al-Bukhaari wrote a chapter in his Saheeh entitled: Divorce given in a state of anger, under compulsion or under the effect of intoxicants or insanity; the verdict about them; mistakes and forgetfulness in issuing a divorce or (uttering the words of) shirk and so on, because of the words of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him): Actions are but by intentions, and each man will have but that which he intended; Ash-Shabi recited (the verse) Punish us not if we forget or fall into error [al-Baqarah 2:286]; what is not valid of the confession of one who is affected by whispers in his heart; the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said to the one who confessed against himself, Are you insane?; Uqbah ibn Aamir said: The divorce of one who is affected by whispers in the heart is not valid. End quote.
Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If one who is affected by whispers in the heart utters the word of divorce, it is not valid if he did not intend to do that, because these words may be uttered by one who is affected by whispers in the heart without him intending to do that or wanting to do it; rather he is compelled to do that and cannot help it because of the strength of the force and the weakness of his resistance. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: There is no divorce in the case of compulsion. So the divorce does not count as such if he did not really have the intention to do that with peace of mind concerning it. This is something that he may be compelled to do without intending it or choosing to do it, so it does not count as a divorce.
End quote from Fataawa Islamiyyah, 3/277
This explanation given by the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) is also applicable in the case of one who is suffering from depression. If he says something when he is compelled, without intending or wanting to, then he will not be brought to account for it.
But the one who is affected in that way should try to treat the problem and rid himself of distress and anxiety; he should think about the blessings that Allah, may He be exalted, has bestowed upon him so that gratitude will take hold in his heart and cause him to be steadfastly content with what Allah decrees; this will save him from being angry with his Lord for there is no slave but Allah has granted him innumerable blessings with regard to his spiritual and physical health, his family and other matters.
But if he did know what he was saying and intended it, but he thought that that would bring him relief, or he was heedless in some of what he said, (then the matter is different) just as there are texts that speak of a stern warning concerning women who wail (in mourning), even though that is something that usually happens at times of extreme grief. And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) warned against uttering words that incur the wrath of Allah at times of calamity. He (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said, when his son Ibraaheem died: The eyes weep and the heart grieves, but we do not say anything but that which pleases our Lord.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1303) and Muslim (2315).
According to a report narrated by Ibn Maajah (1589), he said: â¦but we do not say anything that angers the Lord.
It should be noted that getting angry will not benefit him or remove his distress; rather what will benefit him is patience and seeking reward with Allah, as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allaah loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts that wins His pleasure but whoever is discontent with that earns His wrath.
Narrated by at-Tirmidhi (2396) and Ibn Maajah (4031). Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Tirmidhi.

Re: Sarah Palin!
If Obama and Sarah Palin are what is offered up to the American people on a silver platter for our next Presidential election, I say we all pack our bags and move elsewhere.
I am astounded that NO ONE is calling for Obama to FIX the economy.
The numbers say our economy sucks and OBAMA says the numbers are wrong.
The people say our economy sucks, but Obama says the people are wrong.
I say Obama is wrong.
Please, some one tell me.
What has President Obama done for our economy?
Our President bailed out the financial institutions who aided and abetted in creating this economic disaster.
That's about all he has done and it didn't help the American people who are suffering due to this banking SCAM.
It helped the SCAMMERS who perpetrated this FRAUD upon the American people.
So, I say, Obama aided and abetted criminals.
Instead of prosecuting them, they were rewarded with bonuses by our commander in chief and President.
Obama bailed out the BANKSTERS and has done absolutely NOTHING for the American people who suffered at their hands and/or for the economy that has suffered and the rest of our citizens who are suffering due to the economic collapse caused by these robbers!
At war now for 10 years.
That doesn't help either.
Oh, and BTW, bin laden is dead.
So, can our troops come home now so our country can mend or are they merely instruments used by the "global" elitists to further their agenda and not for the purpose of protecting and securing America and her people?
Please GOD!
Bring our troops home and help heal those families who have been broken apart and are grieving due to their loved one's service to the military industrial complex!
In Peace,

This should go around the world!!!
"I will not tiptoe through life, only to arrive safely at death"
Food For Thought...
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without
a license, but not for being in the country illegally ...
you might live in a country run by idiots.
If you have to get your parents' permission to go on
a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get
an abortion ...
You might live in a country run by idiots.
If you have to show identification to board an airplane,
cash a check, buy liquor or check out a library book,
but not to vote for who runs the government ...
If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding
citizens from owning gun magazines with more than
ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy
new leaders in Egypt ...
If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas,
but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a
sugary drink might make you fat ...
If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched
by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to
having her neck and head searched ...
If your government believes that the best way to
eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions
more ...
If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school
for saying his teacher's "cute," but hosting a sexual
exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable ...
If hard work and success are met with higher taxes
and more government intrusion, while not working
is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid,
subsidized housing and free cell phones ...
If the government's plan for getting people back to
work is to incentivize NOT working with 99 weeks
of unemployment checks and no requirement to
prove they applied but can't find work ...
If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself
makes you more "safe" according to the government ...
If you are offended by this article, I'll bet you voted
for the idiots Who are running, and ruining your
great country.
No Harm Intended, Just Being Sarcastic.
