Low vision, high excitment card game

A to 3, a spelling card game, can be enjoyed by players ages 8 to adult, whether they have perfect vision or a vision impairment. Chicago-area game inventor Jenny Fleishman created A to 3 so her father, who had macular degeneration and a degree of color blindness, could join in the fun.
Unable to find a game on the market that her father could play, Jenny started making game prototypes using her father as her initial test audience. She then took her A to 3 prototype to several low vision support groups in the Chicago metropolitan area for additional feedback. In addition to the many people with low vision, it is estimated that approximately 7 percent of males have some color vision deficiency, which often presents problems with games. A to 3 is designed so accurate color perception is not necessary to differentiate the gameplay significant characteristics of the cards.
A to 3 gives your brain a great workout. Each player has a hand of 10 cards, which they spread out on the table before them. Players arrange their cards to spell one, two or three words, each word using three letters or more. Letters and words score points, depending how they are used. Most hands can be arranged into more than one combination of words. The extra challenge is to find a solution that maximizes your score.
Part luck, and part strategy, A to 3 can be played by 2 to 5 players, and also as solitaire by trying to beat your personal best. Fun for a wide age range players, A to 3 is a perfect multi-generational family game.
A to 3 is available for $15.99 on Amazon.com. Search for "A to 3 Card Game" (including the quotation marks). For more information, visit www.talbareegames.com or call 1-855-230-3500.

CAIRO - Plans by a far-right group in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia to put anti-Islam caricatures depicting Prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him) outside mosques to draw voters are worrying German politicians who accused it of carrying out a xenophobic hate campaign against German Muslims.
"Pro NRW is committing spiritual arson," Interior Minister in state Ralf Jäger told Die Welt on Sunday, April 29.
"The party is consciously taking into account that Muslims will feel provoked and upset.Xenophobic Germany
Controversy started when Pro-NRW, (short for the German state North Rhine-Westphalia), said it plans to run a Muhammad cartoon contest', referring to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
A cash prize was also designed for the "best" anti-Islamic caricature, named after Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, who was responsible for the 2005 cartoons which provoked the anger of the Muslim world.
"Pro NRW", which has been categorized as an extremist right-wing group by the domestic intelligence agency, also intends to send activists to 25 mosques throughout the state in the run-up to the election on May 13, staging protests in Cologne, Bonn, Düsseldorf, Aachen, Wuppertal and Solingen.
Pro NRW showed cartoons of Muhammad on Saturday at demonstrations in the cities of Essen and Gelsenkirchen.
Some 100 protestors attended the demonstrations, and they were outnumbered by hundreds of counter-demonstrators, reports said.
"The so-called cartoon contest is deliberately aimed at provoking Muslims," Jäger said.
Trying to prevent protests, the interior minister condemned the campaign, expressing support for planned counter-demonstrations.
The authorities will exhaust all legal avenues to prevent a xenophobic hate campaign," Jäger told Die Welt.
"All democrats agree xenophobic incitement has no place here," he added.
Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich warned of a possible confrontation between Muslims and right-wing extremists, saying it could have unforeseeable consequences for public safety.
He told lawmakers that this deliberate provocation by Pro NRW would inflame tensions and lead to violent clashes.
He added that German embassies and companies operating abroad might also be affected, similar to the protests in Muslim countries following the publication in 2005 of Danish cartoons.
Germany is believed to be home to nearly 4 million Muslims, including 220,000 in Berlin alone. Turks make up an estimated two thirds of the Muslim minority.
Germans have grown hostile to the Muslim presence recently, with a heated debate on the Muslim immigration into the country.
A recent poll by the Munster University found that Germans view Muslims more negatively than their European neighbors.
Germany's daily Der Spiegel had warned last August that the country is becoming intolerant towards its Muslim minority.
According to a 2010 nationwide poll by the research institute Infratest-dimap, more than one third of the respondents would prefer "a Germany without Islam."

The pirate trend is becoming more and more popular with the passage of time. A number of costumes in the styles of swashbucklers of the renaissance age are becoming more and more popular with the passage of time. Interestingly, these styles are popular among both men and women since we know the fact that there were both male and female pirate were active in the renaissance age, some of whom include Blackbeard, Black Bart, Calico Jack, Anne Bonny, Mary Read and more. On the other hand, we find the freebooters from both the genders in the fantastical world of the freebooters also, such as Captain Jack Sparrow and Angelica etc.
In the men's costumes, we find pirate shirts, pants, coats and vests etc. Usually, these outfits come in the dark shades, because of the fact that the swashbucklers would often wear the wardrobes in the dark shades. The dark colors of the dresses used to reflect their outlaw occupations. But, there are the exceptions also, and you can find these outfits in the other shades as well. The costumes of the privateers, the outlaw pirates, are also very popular today.
On the other hand, the female's pirate clothing includes skirts, gowns, pants, blouses, shirts and a lot more. The costumes work on the same rules as of the male outfits. They also come usually in the dark colors, but the exceptions are available here as well. An interesting thing is that some of the women also like to try the male's dresses, in which also they look very cute. Apart from the clothing, a number of accessories are also worn by the men and women, such as pirate-styled hats, boots, swords and a lot more.
These dresses and accessories for men and women have been derived either from the styles the historical swashbucklers or from the pirate themed movies. The names of some of the historical as well as the fictional raiders have already been mentioned above. Moreover, the modern dress sense has also a prominent role in the designing of these pirate clothes. Such costumes are very popular on the themed occasions, such as renaissance festivals and pirate festivals.

Given that peers become so important to young adolescents, what is the role of adults, especially parents, in adolescents' lives? A brief history of perspectives on adolescent development may be useful here. Early psychoanalytic writers described this period as one of conflict between parents and their teens that is sparked by the reemergence of latent sexual impulses as the child reaches puberty (Freud, 1958). The classic interpretation is that the young adolescent's emotional attachments become sexualized and need to be redirected to agemates. In this view, the child's press for autonomy creates conflict with the parents but is seen as normal and necessary. Neopsychoanalytic views have become more moderate over time (e.g., Blos, 1975), but still assume that the child's cognitive and affective detachment from parents is to be expected in the service of autonomy. Erikson's (1968) view of adolescence as a "normative crisis" supports this as a time of potential upheaval. The early psychoanalytic tradition framed the typical parent–adolescent relationship as a struggle, with teens trying to pull away from parents to the point of rebellion. Prescriptions for appropriate parental behavior often focused on the child's legitimate need to break away and the parents' responsibility to "let go" and allow their adolescents to "be themselves." Parents were advised to back off because teens must be free to explore with their peers to consolidate their identity.
In the 1970s and beyond, studies of adolescence contradicted earlier constructions based on psychoanalytic thought. They indicated that major transformations do occur in family relations as children pass through adolescence but that becoming more independent and personally responsible is not necessarily accompanied by emotional detachment from parents (e.g., Hill & Holmbeck, 1986). Offer (1969) reported that roughly two thirds of teens experienced adolescence as a tranquil period or at least experienced only minor conflicts with parents. Montemayor (1983) reported that in typical families, teens and their parents argued on average twice a week, hardly a matter of great concern. A recent meta-analysis indicates that conflicts with parents occur most frequently in early adolescence. By middle adolescence, they begin to decline in frequency but tend to increase in intensity (Laursen, Coy, & Collins, 1998). Both adolescents and parents view some aspects of parental control to be quite legitimate. Parents can exercise authority over moral issues (like stealing and justice) or even issues governed by conventional rules (such as table manners), especially when conventional rules have prudential consequences (having to do with an individual's health or safety; e.g., Smetana, 1995; Smetana & Gaines, 1999). It's when parents impose rules on what their teens perceive as personal issues (like what you can say to a friend in an email, how you wear your hair, or what music you listen to) that conflicts are most likely to arise (e.g., Smetana & Daddis, 2002). For teens, gaining control over this personal domain is a way of establishing autonomy and therefore is an important identity issue.

Baseball Betting
Betting on baseball is not as popular as most of the other sports, but since it's the only sport going for a period of time in the Summer months, there are a decent amount of players, like myself, who enjoy betting on baseball. Baseball offers two lines for betting; the money line, and the run line.
The money line works just like the money line in football betting. One team is favored and has a "-" number where you have to lay juice to take them. The other team has a "+" and gets you money back on your wager should they win.
The run line can differ from game to game, but typically the run line allows you to wager on a team to win by more than one run. An example of both options appear below in the example given.
Example: "New York Yankees – 200." "New York Yankees +150 -1.5."
Example one would mean you bet $200 to win $100. Example two means that if you bet $100 on the Yankees and they win by two runs, you are paid out $150."
What you really are betting on in baseball betting is the starting pitcher. What happens is that the line is formulated by pitting two starting pitchers against each other. If one team is starting their "ace" (best pitcher) and the other team is starting a third, or even fourth option from their rotation, the line will reflect this. To bet on specific pitching match-ups, you select a "listed" bet. To bet on whoever will take the mound (which is applicable when there is a late pitching change) simply select "action."
Baseball betting is rumored to be the most advantageous sports betting season for players. However, that doesn't mean you are going to make a profit betting on baseball. Sure, you could bet on the best pitcher on the best team in the league, and think they will win easily over a last-placed team who is starting a rookie. However, many things can happen here. First, the starting pitching could have a bad outing. Second, he could be injured early in the game. Third, the batters just may have an awful game for the favored pitcher, or fourth, the bullpen could blow a big lead later in the game. Many other outcomes could happen but those are just a few scenarios as to why a favored team would lose when it's a heavy favorite.
That, in short, is a quick guide to baseball betting.

Taking the tournament under African skies was FIFA's greatest adventure yet. South Africa's people opened their doors with open arms and, though there were some steep prices being paid for accommodation, the hospitality was usually warm. "This time for Africa," bellowed Shakira's World Cup anthem "Waka Waka" from every available speaker over a calendar month.
The football took off eventually after a slow start in the opening group matches. The opening match, between the hosts and Mexico, ended in a 1-1 draw at Soccer City, and the host's second match saw them destroyed by Uruguay in Pretoria to end realistic hopes of making the round of 16. France's campaign began amid a team revolution and ended with a meek exit from the group stages. Italy, the defending champions, were embarrassed and exited with a whimper, failing to win any of their group matches.
Once into the knockout round, Spain made short work of the Portuguese while Chile's thrills were swiftly ended by Brazil. Paraguay beat Japan while the American dream was ended by the power of Ghana. Argentina's beat Mexico 3-1, to set up a quarterfinal clash against Germany. Coach Diego Maradona's queer ideas backfired heavily as the Germans ran riot with a 4-0 victory.
A greater shock was felt in Port Elizabeth, where the Netherlands dumped Brazil out. Robinho's goal looked to have set up a procession but, from there, Dunga's team stalled badly as Wesley Sneijder's brace goals ended their journey.
Luis Suarez's handball from the goal line gave Uruguay a lifeline in quarterfinal against Ghana, before his side went on to win in shootout. Penalties proved the key moments in Spain's victory over the troublesome Paraguayans at Ellis Park too.
A repeat of Euro 2008's final took place in the semis in Durban, and for the Germans it was very much a similar story to that in Vienna. Spain were now beating a beguiling rhythm with their tiki-taka, and Carles Puyol scored the header that took them to their first ever final.
There, they would join the Dutch, who won out in a thriller with Uruguay in Cape Town. It ended in a 3-2 win for the Dutch, but Diego Forlan scored the type of goal that landed him the award of the tournament's best player from journalists.
The final was an ugly and cagey affair. Any flowing football was abandoned for a Dutch cynicism that was probably borne of an attempt to throw off Spain's passing game. The Dutch continued their brutality, and the Spanish acted up. Robben's break on the hour took him past the Spanish defence, before Casillas' leg outstretched stopped an unconvincing shot. Extra time came, and eventually Spain's dominance of possession finally paid off when Andres Iniesta dispatched the ball past Maarten Stekelenburg for the decider.
Spain, who had won every knockout game 1-0, had been much the superior team in the tournament after surviving that early blow against the Swiss. La Roja's possession game had the effect of dizzying opponents, so that no more than a singular goal was ever required. World Cup winners for the first time, they were now both continental and global champions.

THE NEW FRIZZ– Absolutely loving bobs with an imperfect, slightly frizzy finish. I don't know what it is about this look, but I've become completely obsessed. The hair appears romantic, slept on + soft and almost creates a glowing halo in the sun. Sometimes hair is the most beautiful when you just let it do its own thing. And if that's not the case, add a little surf spray or water-based pomade to it.

Collier: Steelers-Broncos game takes on a special meaning
Collier: Steelers-Broncos game takes on a special meaning
Coverage teams could get boost with expected return of Andre Frazier Sunday, November 08, 2009 By Gene Collier, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09312/1011480-150.stm For a couple of teams who've won all but three of their 14 combined games, the Steelers and Broncos are lugging around plenty of issues, richly evident weaknesses that could send a promising football season careening into a u-turn tomorrow night in the Rockies. The 5-2 Steelers have a 334-yard passing performance by Brett Favre still fresh in the collective memory of their secondary, which from all indications will be without steadying safety Ryan Clark at the back of a defense thinning faster than the mile high air. Pittsburgh had the ball for only 23:02 against Minnesota, and its two sub-30 minute possession performances have come in the past three games. The 6-1 Broncos have a decorated defense, ranked first in the entire league near the season's midpoint, but that unit has forced only two turnovers in the past three games, none in a 30-7 loss at Baltimore only last Sunday. Offensively, they don't seem capable of connecting with the deep ball. In three of Denver's games, Kyle Orton failed to complete a pass of even 28 yards, and his longest completion this season came on the infamous 87-yard tip in the opener at Cincinnati. For all that, nothing is as ominous in the respective soul searches of these long-time AFC rivals as the dangerous ways in which they run under punts and kickoffs, especially kickoffs. The Broncos rank 29th in punt coverage, 27th in kickoff coverage. The Steelers are a quite decent 10th at covering punts, but 23rd on kickoffs. The Steelers have allowed touchdowns on kickoff returns in each of their past two games, and the Broncos have allowed touchdowns on a kickoff and punt in their past two. "The funny thing about kickoff coverage," Steelers special-teams ace Keyaron Fox was saying as preparations were being completed, "is that there can be just one guy out of place and everything breaks down. Most times when it breaks down, that's the reason, but, sometimes, it's just hustle and focus. Guys are filling lanes, and some of those guys are expecting help. If you don't get there to help, somebody's gonna break one." Cleveland's Joshua Cribbs broke one for 98 yards at Heinz Field Oct. 18, Minnesota's Percy Harvin another for 88 a week later. "Cribbs, I don't think anyone even touched him," Fox said. "They made a nice little alley for him, and three of our guys got tied up on one block." Stefan Logan, who returns kicks for Mike Tomlin's team and is so fast the coaches can't resist using him to cover them as well, pleaded guilty on the Cribbs matter. "I'm the L-2 [the second from the left in the kickoff formation], so I mostly have contain, but I'm free to chase if I'm hot, which means I'm not engaged. On the Cribbs one, I messed up. I went inside, and somebody on the Browns had tripped somebody else, and there was just a cluster of guys there." The Steelers can't afford any clustering tomorrow night, lest they expose themselves to the vapor trail that is Denver's Eddie Royal, who took a kickoff back 93 yards and a punt back 71 in the same game at San Diego. Only 10 times in NFL history had something like that happened. Royal, the accomplished second-year wideout out of Virginia Tech, put his name next to the likes of Gale Sayers, Bobby Mitchell, Travis Williams and Devin Hester with that effort. Fortunately for the Steelers, their special teams fervently anticipate the return of Andre Frazier, who leads the team in unassisted special teams tackles but has been idled by injury in the past two games, with disastrous results. "I'm ready," Frazier said at the weekend. "We've just got to be a little more careful out there on the kickoff coverage. I don't think it's that we're overrunning things. When I look at those returns [Cribbs' and Harvin's], it just looked like we weren't getting off the blocks quickly enough. Sometimes, guys don't shed [the blocks] properly or shed to the wrong gap. "With the returners in the NFL now, they're so fast, so explosive, all it takes is a little crease, and they're gone." It wouldn't surprise anyone if Steelers special-teams coaches Bob Ligashesky and Amos Jones shuffle the deck on coverage teams. I'm not sure they'd recall James Harrison to those duties, but Harrison still takes some reps in practice. Might be worth it just for the fear factor.

Quick Tarte Tatin
From Good Housekeeping
triple-tested at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
When preparing the caramel for this quick and simple skillet-baked apple tart, be sure to remove the pan from the heat when the caramel is just amber -- the sugar will continue to cook from residual heat, which could lead to a bitter, burned sauce.

U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 3 pound(s) (5 to 7 large) Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and cut in half
- 2 tablespoon(s) butter
- 3/4 cup(s) sugar
- 1 (half 17.3-ounce package) sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed as label directs
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place apples in 9-inch glass pie plate; cover with waxed paper, and cook in microwave on High 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in heavy 10-inch skillet with oven-safe handle (or with handle wrapped in a double layer of foil for baking in oven later), melt butter over medium-high heat. Add sugar and cook about 5 minutes or until amber in color, swirling skillet frequently. Immediately remove skillet from heat (caramel will continue to darken).
- With tongs, transfer apples from pie plate to skillet, coating flat sides of apples first with caramelized sugar. Then arrange apples, rounded side down, rotating them slightly to fit in a single layer in skillet.
- On lightly floured surface, unfold puff pastry sheet. Fold in each corner of puff pastry about 2 inches and press down to form an "octagon." With lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough into 12-inch round. Place dough round on top of apples in skillet; tuck in edge of dough around apples. With knife, cut six 1/4-inch slits in dough to allow steam to escape during baking. Bake tart about 25 minutes or until crust is golden.
- When tart is done, cool in skillet on wire rack 10 minutes. Center large platter upside down on top of skillet. Wearing oven mitts to protect your hands, and grasping platter and skillet firmly together, quickly invert tart onto platter. Cool 20 minutes to serve warm.

I first have to apologize for the fact that I haven't posted in a while, I was under the impression that I was able to post to two places at once, and have my personal blog and the Viper Bats one done at the same time. I found out last night that this isn't the case, so I do apologize for the lack of updates I didn't realize it was not working. That being said, I'll just drop you guys into my latest post, because it would be a nightmare for you to read, and for me to write about the weeks since my last post. I had a solid first month of the season hitting .329 with 11 RBI's and our team played well enough to finish above .500 for the month. So here we go, back to the blog posts
We left home on Wednesday morning just after 6am to head out on our six game, two city road trip. I made sure to drop my personal stuff off on the bus before packing my baseball bag, and getting breakfast to make sure I got my own seats. I made sure to put my fully packed snack bag on one chair and my bag with my clothes on the other, then ran downstairs to throw my baseball stuff together. I packed, and did my usual double check to make sure I didn't forget anything. Max and I then jumped in my car and drove to McDonalds to get some breakfast, and I ended up bringing back an order for Baltz and Carmon also.
When we pulled out of Parkview Field I immediately threw myself on the floor of the bus to go back to sleep. I always bring my pillow on the trips so it's actually pretty comfortable. I tried to fall asleep, but couldn't help but hear the movie that was playing over the bus televisions. I popped my head up and asked someone, "this is Skyfall right?" I was right, I recognized the sound of the opening scene somehow and so I jumped back up into my seat to watch because there is no better way to start a morning than a 6:30 am showing of James Bond. I watched as he saved the day, and then struggled to stay awake the rest of the ride. We pulled into The PZAZZ hotel and resort just after lunch, and walked through the many lobbies past the casino, spa, arcade and indoor water park before going upstairs to our rooms. Me and Shepherd played a quick game of NHL13, and I finally broke my 17 game losing streak in a 3-2 victory by the London Knights over the Kitchener Rangers.
We headed over to the ballpark before the first bus, to take a look around at the stadium we'd be playing in for the next three days. I walked with Shepherd, Eflin and John Hussey, an Australian pitcher who recently rejoined the Padres organization after being out of baseball for a couple years. We snapped some pictures, and walked around wondering aloud how anyone could possibly play in the old stadium that plays host to the Angels affiliate. We realized just how spoiled we are to have a world class facility like we do in Fort Wayne. The stadium was extremely small, with bleachers about 20 rows high between the two dugouts. There was no upper deck, no suites, no video board, no radar gun display, no padded benches, and certainly no advertisements in the dugouts. It was the truest "Minor League" field we'd experienced so far this season, it was really just a field with a grandstand, consisting mostly of metal bench seating. We headed into the clubhouse, which had no air conditioning and got ready for either early work or conditioning and then headed out to our respective jobs. I took some rounds of front toss with Burkie in the cage, which was surprisingly spacious and a good work space.
The game was a bit of a mess, we scored, then gave up runs. They scored, then gave up runs. We made an error and they returned the favor. It ended with us coming away with an ugly win in the first of our three game series. At one point I counted exactly 68 people watching the game, it was a morbid atmosphere. There is no worse way to play a game than in front of a tiny crowd in a dark blustery field. By the time the 8th inning rolled around we encountered what I called the "Iowapocalypse" a combination of freezing cold 85 mph winds and a stadium that made an eerie ghost noise. It was BRUTAL.
Our next game was at 11:30 am the next morning, so we were at the ballpark at just after 8:30. We ate peanut butter sandwiches in the clubhouse, and traded complaints about how miserable it was to wake up early for a game. We walked out to the field after cage work for batting practice and realized it was kids day. Seven or eight local schools brought school buses full of screaming kids and the place was pretty well filled up. We joked about how a full house at Community Field wouldn't fill a single section at our place, and again we were pretty snobbish about it. We managed another win and survived kids day with very little annoyance. We headed back to the hotel around 2 and had an entire afternoon to waste. We ate lunch at the Boogaloo Cafe in the hotel and then headed to the arcade for the afternoon. We played Skee-Ball, basketball, went on the Go-Karts, and played 4 on 4 Lazer Tag. We killed about two hours then went back to our rooms and played NHL again before dinner.
I went to sleep early last night because we had a 9 am lift in the morning. I woke up, and headed to the bus. We went to the local YMCA and did a quick lift, I did a bunch of TRX stuff, some light leg stuff and then core. We packed up and headed back to the hotel for some breakfast. Walker and I went to the buffet together and had some steak and eggs, a favorite of mine. Our trainer Ricky came and told us that the game tonight was cancelled and that we'd leave early for Peoria. So here we are, driving through a pretty hard rain en route to Illinois.

The Ride Home
- Posted by Johanna on December 4, 2007 at 10:12 pm
- Category: Graphic Novel Reviews
- CREDITS: by Joey Weiser
- PUBLISHER: AdHouse Books; $8.95 US
The Ride Home is Joey Weiser's solo debut. (He's previously contributed to anthologies, including Flight 4 and SPX 2004.) It's a charming all-ages fable about a van gnome who gets lost. Nodo the gnome tries to keep his mini-van home tidy, but one day, the family cat chases him out mid-trip. He's left behind in a city he doesn't recognize, and he doesn't have a very good sense of direction in the first place.
Weiser's work is simple and inviting. His straightforward grid of panels makes for an easy read, where the story flows directly, and his characters are solid and expressive. They're classic folk figures, repurposed for the modern era. Along with Nodo, there's Ferdinand the Sewer Dragon, who used to work in a river until he was reassigned, and a whole gallery of cameos. These include a fuzzy-looking mailbox dweller and what resembles a butterfly-winged commuter, demonstrating Weiser's imagination.
Recently, in a discussion of film clichés, an online friend suggested that he'd like to see a movie where the lead returns home and instead of reaffirming the values of her childhood, discovers that the new place she lives and the new attitudes she's learned are where she's meant to be. There's something of a similar flavor here, with the message that sometimes we're taken places we didn't expect, and we can find joy in the new situation if we don't spend all our energy trying to find our way back to where we were.
It takes time, of course, and the aid of a good friend. That's Flora, in this case, another van gnome from a different area of town. There's also excitement and humor and danger from junkyard trolls, making this a wonderful, engrossing all-ages story for anyone adapting to a new environment. It's a lovely reminder of the importance of friendship, too.
You can read previews online at the artist's website. There's also another review online. (A complimentary copy for this review was provided by the publisher.)

Why Ford Motor (F) Stock Is Falling Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Ford Motor
(F - Get Report) shares are down -1.6% to $15.91 in trading following reports of the retirement of its CEO and weak April sales numbers.
Ford reported that auto sales fell 0.7% from the year ago period. The company sold 211,126 vehicles, trailing both General Motors
(GM - Get Report) and Chrysler whose sales rose 7% and 14%, respectively.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
In separate news, the company announced that CEO Alan Mulally will be retiring at the beginning of July. The 68 year old former Boeing
(BA - Get Report) executive has been with Ford for the past 8 years.
Mark Fields, the chief operating officer, was officially named the new CEO.
TheStreet Ratings team rates FORD MOTOR CO as a Buy with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate FORD MOTOR CO (F) a BUY. This is driven by a number of strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, revenue growth, attractive valuation levels, good cash flow from operations and impressive record of earnings per share growth. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 5.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 3.6%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 187.25% to $315.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, FORD MOTOR CO has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 30.33%.
- FORD MOTOR CO reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. However, we anticipate underperformance relative to this pattern in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, FORD MOTOR CO increased its bottom line by earning $1.75 versus $1.42 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 22.9% in earnings ($1.35 versus $1.75).

Whether you hear it as The Ghost of Nebraska, a conceptual recasting of Woody Guthrie's Dust Bowl Ballads, or a retreat back to the character-based narratives of his most acclaimed efforts, Tom Joad is an unsettling album. It is of a piece with his uniformly impressive body of work A an aural throwback to the acoustic-based home recordings on 1982's Nebraska, it's also linked to the more desolate moments of his union with the E Street Band, especially on 1978's Darkness on the Edge of Town and The River, from 1980. More noticeably, Tom Joad finds Springsteen taking some determined steps away from the themes that linked 1992's simultaneously released albums Human Touch and Lucky Town. Along with 1987's Tunnel of Love, those two vastly underrated albums explored the complexities of adult romance, asking the questions that arise when emotional commitment becomes a reality and then examining the answers.
Those questions and answers produced some of Springsteen's finest music and reflected a kind of wisdom -- or at least an awareness -- that would've been unimaginable to the young, highway-bound romantic who splattered his heart across the grooves of 1975's Born to Run. Some remarkable albums have been made when artists pick apart the intricacies of love, lust, marriage, and trust: Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks and Marvin Gaye's Here My Dear each summon the rage and bewilderment of couples fighting it out in divorce court, while Elvis Costello's Imperial Bedroom and King of America artfully ponder the sexual politics that exist both before and after the ink has dried on the marriage license. However, only Springsteen's trio of records (Tunnel of Love, Human Touch, and Lucky Town) bothers to sort through love's befores, durings, and afters.
With Tom Joad, Springsteen casts aside such concerns and returns to the storytelling of past benchmarks such as "The River," "Johnny 99," and "Downbound Train," which means that the die-hard fans who were unmoved by his last three albums have reason to rejoice. But be forewarned: Tom Joad contains Springsteen's most dejected and desperate cast of losers to date: border kids turned drug runners ("Balboa Park"); shoe salesmen turned on-the-lam bank robbers ("Highway 25"); war vets turned suicidal assembly-line drones ("Youngstown"); migrant workers turned speeddealers("Sinaloa Cowboys"). They all are a part of Springsteen's past legacy, but on Tom Joad their sour lives have turned rancid. Their onetime belief that at the end of the day they will find a "Reason to Believe" has degenerated into resigned pessimism: My life is fucked, and there is nothing I can do about it.
The title cut pays obvious homage to the protagonist of John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, the novel that also inspired the songs collected on Guthrie's magnificent 1964 album Dust Bowl Ballads. Springsteen has turned to those recordings at least twice before, with late-Eighties covers of "Vigilante Man" and "I Ain't Got No Home," and has written at least one song that bore the stamp of Guthrie's social concerns ("Seeds," from the Live/1975-1985 box). Tom Joad, however, is neither a tribute to a literary character nor a reiteration of a songwriter's determination to express the concerns of the battered underdog masses. Instead, it creates a doomed atmosphere much like that of the Louvin Brothers' bluegrass masterpiece Tragic Songs of Life, a quasi-concept album from 1956 in which death lingers over every song. In some tracks on Tragic Songs, the characters suffer only heartaches; in others, remorse and regret. But death reverberates throughout the set, palpable not only in the words of Charlie and Ira Louvin but also in their voices, which intertwine at times like a tangle of funeral bells emphasizing their forlorn messages.
Springsteen conjures that sound here by submerging himself in the misery of his characters' collective plight, burrowing so deeply into the sorrow-filled details of their lives that the only voice he can summon is a kind of beaten-dog moan -- as if the words hurt when they're coming out. It's a sound that recalls that of both the Louvins and another era, a time when prewar bluesmen such as Skip James, Charley Patton, and Robert Johnson would lose themselves in the torment of their tales and blur their words, creating a high, lonesome wail pulled from the nether recesses of the soul.
It is within those recesses that the occupants of Tom Joad dwell A a place where all hope has been shit-canned, where any glimmer of romance or relief is destroyed by hardship. Even the highways cherished by past Springsteen characters now contain only broken glass and gasoline (as the wayward salesman in "Highway 25" discovers), while the homeless in "The Ghost of Tom Joad" have been ground down to the point that they know there is no convenient escape route to be found along the endless gray ribbon.

I think everyone is in a learning phase with this - even HH. Some want it removed entirely, some want the option of disabling it when they prefer to fly without it, some like it as is, and some just want to learn how to deal with it. I suppose I'm in the last group. There's no doubt it makes flying in turbulent conditions easier - but that's when some of the issues arise as well. Maybe my particular problem is resolved, don't know for certain until it's encountered again. turboparker's last video was interesting - but I fly the J-3 and Champ in almost the same winds. It's also interesting that the Beast 3D handles those conditions better. This seems to be related to the CC platform and AS3X. |

My first CC had a few bad crashes. I repaired the damage with foam-safe CA glue then painted the repairs with Martha Stewart arylic high gloss red paint. Then it looked pretty good except the CA glue darkened the light silver tail. I didn't find any matching silver paint.
I painted my replacement CC with acrylic varathane satin and now it is much stronger and smoother. I use it on all my micro airplanes. |

Buuut googling -part- of the name 'usbprog' yielded some interesting results. Apparently it' an open source hardware/software solution for interfacing USB to serial, which is exactly what the Spektrum device does. The apparent true source, here's a page in German http://www.usbprog.org, and the same page translated to English http://www.microsofttranslator.com/b...ww.usbprog.org Besides those there are tons of hits for people doing all sorts of Linux and Windows projects. |

I put two flights on my CC today. I am very pleased with the way it handles with my 350mah 2s flightmax packs. Had 10 mph winds, floats for the snow, and cold fingers. Getting used to the as3x. I had a narrow flying field and had to stay above the trees until landing time. Dropped in between the trees.

OK I had my re-maiden yesterday. I say re-maiden because the first maiden flight, the wheel rolled right off down the runway at takeoff because I had forgotten a drop of CA to the retainers
3 batteries, and i LOVED it. I think it was still a little tail heavy, but I was flying in 8 or 9 mph winds with some pretty good gusts. It still rolls to the left but man I can tell you right now this is going to be one of my favorite planes to fly. It was a real pleasure. Now to learn how to do some Cub aerobatics! Oh and btw... Joel... I have a deep respect now for your piloting abilities! One wheel dragging touch-and-goes? I was lucky I could put it down consistently on the dirt road runway. A couple times I was hitting LVC while I was still sorting out the timer and I wasn't in a position to land so I flew it over my head and ran under it to catch it! |

After landing I removed the battery with the trims still in place. The rudder is noticeably to the right, with the leading edge 2mm left of the horizontal stabilizer. The left aileron is down 0.5 mm, and the right is up 1 mm. To me, this is all drastically off from what I expect. There is visible right and down thrust on the motor, as expected. The wings and empennage all seem level and square. I checked the cg before each flight with a homemade stand. Running out of ideas! |

Genealogy Home Page of Robert R. BlairUpdated April 26, 2011 |
Robert R Blair |
BLAIR Generation I Records show that EDWARD BLAIR *genl* in September 1834 bought the East 1/2, Lot 29, 6th Concession, Roxborough Township, Stormont County, Upper Canada (now Ontario). His brother Robert Blair purchased in 1836 the West 1/2 Lot 29, 6th Concession. Both 1/2 Lots where approx 100 acres and were purchased from a Michael O'Hara. EDWARD BLAIR died in 1850 at age 40 years (born 1810, County Derry, Ireland (as per tombstone, 6th Concession Cemetery, Lodi). EDWARD's wife (widow) SARAH BLAIR sold the property to EDWARD's brother Robert in 1866. The same day Robert sold this property to his son Joseph for $500.00. In the 1851 Canadian Census Records SARAH BLAIR shows her place of birth as Ireland and her age as 40 years (born 1811) Her oldest son Robert was listed as age 22 (born 1830) in Canada. Emigration therefore occurred between 1810 and 1830. EDWARD's brother Robert (born 1790) and wife Rose (born 1791) had 3 children: James(I817), Alexander(I821), and Joseph(l825) all shown as born in Ireland. It seems that Edward emigrated to Canada before brother Robert as records indicate Robert emigrated through Philidelphia approx 1836, after Edward purchased Lot 29. Children of EDWARD and SARAH BLAIR from the 1851 Canada Census: Robert(1830), EDWARD*gen2*(1833), Alexander(1836), Jane(1837), Joseph(l840), Nicholas(I843), James(I845), William(l847), Roberta (l849) After selling the property in 1866 to EDWARD's brother there is no further record of SARAH therefore presumed she left the area or remarried. There is no further record of children Robert, Joseph, and Roberta, therefore may have left the area with SARAH. [See addendum in file below "In Search of Robert Blair (1831)" for new breaking information]. On the same tombstone as their father EDWARD BLAIR*genl*are listed children: Alexander (died age 25 years), Nicholas (died age 16 years), James (died age 3 years) and William (died age 2 years) It is also indicated that Jane is buried in the same cemetery but Jane is not listed on this tombstone (?). In the same cemetery (tombstone beside the original) is son EDWARD BLAIR*gen2* (the tombstone shows dates as 1830 to l913, a contradiction to the above listed birth date (as per 1851 Census) of being born in 1833. The 1871 Census lists this EDWARD BLAIR as age 37 birthplace Ontario, Stormont County, Roxborough Township, religion Canada Presbyterian, ethnic origin Irish, occupation Farmer (indicating 1833 is the likely the proper date). On this tombstone you also find listed EDWARD's wife Vitalene Lalonde (I858 to 1949) and his son EDWARD JOSEPH BLAIR*gen3 * (I882 to 1975) and EDWARD JOSEPH's wife Lottie (Carlotta Louisa) Hutt (I883 to 1953). On the original tombstone of EDWARD BLAIR*genl* there is listed a name Ellen Stewart. Died Jan 9,1881 at 50 years (born 1831) A Native of Antrim Ireland, Wife of Edward Blair. Records show Ellen Stewart married Edward Blair*gen2* on November 11,1869. therefore being the first wife of EDWARD BLAIR*gen2* before his marriage to Vitalene Lalonde. It is also intersteing to note that in the 1881 Census there is listed a Sarah Stewart, age 13, attending school, who is living with Edward Blair. This could be Ellen Stewart's daughter from a previous marriage. The Cemetery on the 6h Concession is on the corner of the property originally owned by EDWARD and SARAH BLAIR which indicates the practice of having private family cemeteries on family farms. The cemetery was deeded to the Canada Presbyterian Church in Roxborough in 1870 for the sum of $20.00 by Joseph and Nancy Blair (descendants of EDWARD's brother Robert Blair). Above written by Elizabeth Devolin (nee Blair) The Blair line: Edward Blair (1810 - 1850) & Sarah Harris ==> Edward Blair (1833 - 1913) & Vitalene Lalonde ====> Edward Joseph Blair (1882 - 1975) & Lottie Hutt ======> Cyril Blair (1902 - 1968) & Aili Sofia Wuario ========> Robert R.

PHOENIX -- Police believe impairment might have been the cause of a deadly hit-and-run wreck in West Phoenix early Saturday morning.
It happened just after 5 a.m. on 67th Avenue just north of Lower Buckeye Road.
According to Sgt. Steve Martos of the Phoenix Police Department, the driver of a Dodge Charger hit a Dodge Caravan as he tried to speed past.
Three people in the Caravan, which is an AAA cab, were injured, one of them seriously.
A victim in the Charger did not survive his injuries. Police have not confirmed that man's identity. They do not think he was wearing a seat belt.
Martos said the driver of the Charger, a 45-year-old Hispanic man, fled the scene. Officers were able to locate him later. Police have not released any information about the man, but Martos said charges are pending as soon as he is released from the hospital.
