You need constant activity, variety, thrills and chills, but your righteous sense of fairness and empathy makes you the good person you are. You share your true feelings without camouflage. Your partner is intelligent, vibrant and talkative. They have vivid interests, and like to participate in many activities at the same time. Common sense tends to rule emotions for them.
Each of you has many qualities and resources that are both complimentary and supplementary, and you have a desire to help one another achieve your respective goals. However, you do not exhibit a deep-rooted desire for each other, and may need to make an effort to reach out to one another.
Karmic Pull: [Good] Compatibility between both of you, on a temperamental level, will be above average.
Mutual Gunas: [Excellent] Yours is an ideal match, in which both of you supplement each other's needs. A great level of understanding helps you enhance your relationship.

This... took my breath away, it's glorious. Absolutely beautiful.
My only critique is, if that design is painted on a flat ceiling, it seems to be missing perspective depth.
It almost looks a floating object in the middle of the room. It would seem too circular for the angle I see it at. Something more oval would better suit, similar to the oval shaped columns just below the Mane6.
All I would do is scale/squish the ceiling design to half it's current height, move to the top of the picture, and extend the vertical lines beneath it to meet the flattened ceiling design.

Out With The Old & In With The New
The Golden Nugget is the 'reason' that person came into your life. When you look for the learning in your failed relationships, you allow yourself to grow into a better relationship the next time around. The Golden Nugget is that piece of learning that only that person could give you so you can grow. Look past any hurt or loss and dig deep into what you are grateful for from the experience of having had the relationship.
You can start by writing them a letter sharing all the ways you are grateful for them having been in your life. This is a letter you will never send. It is an exercise for you to uncover that Golden Nugget. Remember that your ex is an EX for a reason. If it was "meant to be," you would be together and not apart. So accept what is and move on. Never, ever settle! When we say, "Don't settle," we mean it. Do not settle for less than your True Heart's Desire. The challenge is that many of us attach details to that desire that is not at all from your heart, but actually from your head.
Orna was hung-up on a married man for many years. At the time, she believed she "loved" him. She only loved him equal to the amount that she loved herself which is why today we put the word "love" in quotes. When she raised the level at which she valued herself and loved herself completely is when Matthew (who had been in her periphery for over a year) called her to connect.
Matthew was always chasing the unavailable woman. The summer before he and Orna connected, he dated a woman who was constantly finding something "wrong" with him. When he finally told her, "There's nothing wrong with me, I am who I am," and walked away from his old story of chasing love, he did some more inner work around Values and less than two weeks later at the same networking meeting he had been attending for over a year with Orna, he saw her in a whole new light and reached out to her to connect one-on-one.
The love that you desire is not attached to anyone outside of you. Your ex does not hold your only chance for love. Until you change something inside of you, the outside will respond exactly as it has for your entire dating and relationship life. When we say, "Don't settle" we mean it, but not in the way most people imagine that we do. Release all the details of who, when, and how. Now, from that place create a vision of your ideal relationship. How will it function? How will you feel? How will your Beloved respond to you?
Include everything that you could ever want to have in this ideal scenario. Do not be "realistic." Indulge your creative imagination. Once you have this vision, lock it into your subconscious by writing it out in detail. Write out an ideal scene by answering this question: What evidence do you need that will let you know you are with your Beloved?

By The Hays Daily News
MANHATTAN -- The Hays High School boys' swimming team broke a record, set a new qualifying time and finished fifth Saturday at the Manhattan swim meet.
Senior Connor Hess qualified for state in the 200 IM with a time of 2 minutes, 23.27 seconds.

Drees posted Hays High's lone top-three finish at the ultra-competitive meet. He finished third in the 50 freestyle in 22.91 seconds.

biographical name circa 1450-1523 Pietro di Cristoforo Vannucci Italian painter
Italian painter. Born near Perugia (the source of his nickname), he was probably a pupil of Piero della Francesca and Verrocchio. One of his most famous frescoes, Giving of the Keys to St. Peter (1481-82), in the Sistine Chapel, anticipated High Renaissance ideals in its compositional clarity and sense of spaciousness. He was at the height of his powers c.1490-1500, when he painted the Crucifixion fresco for the convent of Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi in Florence. Perugino's art declined in his later years, and c.1505 he left the highly critical Florentine art scene to work in Umbria. In 1508 he made a brief comeback by painting roundels on the ceiling of the Stanza dell'Incendio in the Vatican. The commission for the wall frescoes went to his pupil Raphael, who had already proved himself the greater artist.

Housing faces slow start to year
PUBLISHED: 01 Mar 2012 00:37:43 | UPDATED: 01 Mar 2012 06:43:35PUBLISHED: 01 Mar 2012 PRINT EDITION: 01 Mar 2012Zoë Fielding
Building approvals have remained sluggish Photo: Louie Douvis
Residential property developers presented a cautious outlook for the Australian housing sector when they unveiled their half-year accounts during the past month.
Fundamentals in the NSW residential property market were said to be solid. But the market in Victoria has been slowing and Queensland – particularly the south-east of the state – remained weak, developers said.
Demand for new homes has been sluggish due to consumer nervousness about economic conditions and fears that the Reserve Bank of Australia would lift interest rates.
Two rate cuts since November have helped to dissipate concerns over interest rates, although banks have threatened to lift rates independently of the RBA.
Residential building approvals have stayed low and several developers reported fewer lot sales and lagging settlements.
Stockland Property Group made just $11 million of sales this half, down from $42 million last year. Lend Lease reported residential land settlements were down 28 per cent on the previous corresponding period, while settlements on apartments fell 82 per cent in value terms.
Australand Property Group was an exception, reporting a 15 per cent increase in sales volumes in the first half of the 2012 financial year compared with the previous corresponding period. However, the group did have to take a $7 million impairment charge on a Sunshine Coast development.
Goldman Sachs analysts noted that impairments were a blight on the results of several portfolios.
Other developers affected by the sagging market in Queensland were Sunland Group and Devine, which delivered substantially lower profits to end December compared with the previous year.
Cedar Woods reported a first-half net profit of just $10.9 million, down from $24.2 million in 2011.
The company's management expected earnings to be tilted towards the second half of the financial year as bad weather had delayed developments.
Bad weather in parts of Queensland and Western Australia also hampered development efforts in those states for Australand, which increased the capital employed.
The developers were not alone in expecting earnings to be skewed towards the second half.
Residential and retirement group FKP expected settlements at its Mulgoa Rise development to start coming through in the middle of this calendar year.
Goldman Sachs noted that average prices reported by the listed residential developers were lower than in the previous period, but margins were holding up and there were more contracts on hand.
Groups such as Stockland are concentrating on producing more affordable housing and steering clear of higher-end property.
Net tangible asset ratios in the sector did not change substantially compared with the prior year.

I did a pale that used a ton of hops, and then a ton of dry hopping. It wasn't a high gravity brew, and is somewhere between 5-6% ABV. Because the alcohol content isn't massive, I was thinking of washing the yeast for next time, but since there's an abnormally high quantity of hop matter, does that present any problem? In other words, as long as one doesn't make a beer that's at the very limits of what the yeast can manage, and doesn't rest a very high ABV beer on the yeast cake for an extended period, is there any reason (apart from off flavors in that beer) not to salvage yeast from a secondary?
No, you can still do it. With more hop particles and unwanted trub you may have to wash it more than once or twice. As long as you do it correctly and get good separation you should be able to get the yeast off.
Thank you. I just didn't want to put the effort in if there was reason to think this could cause a meaningful hassle. I have no problem harvesting less yeast, as I don't need 4 mason jars of this stuff. This is my first time saving the yeast... I like the idea of subtracting $8 from my ingredients cost next time I want a pale or IPA. Cheers!
Oh yea, its nice to have the yeast in stock and not buying more each time. I am in the process of setting up multiple yeast slants to hold on to my yeast.
Why is it not recommended to wash yeast that fermented a high gravity beer? They get tired? I was going to snag some wlp510 from a local micro, if I get enough and make a starter will it be ok to use on another high gravity beer?
Yea, they say you shouldn't use a yeast from a high gravity beer on another beer because they can get too stressed and possibly mutate. I have not heard anyone using the wlp510 from one batch on another. I guess it should be ok since they can handle the higher % beers.

While fixed elections dates addressed some theoretically problematic aspects of our electoral system, they certainly created others.
Maybe it's time to turn the clock back and rethink this grand experiment in democratic process. Perhaps there is some value in mystery and surprise, after all.
For those who don't remember, former Liberal premier Gordon Campbell introduced B.C.'s fixed election date legislation in 2001, calling for Canada's first ever set election in May 2005. We've been on the four-year schedule since.
The remedy was designed in part to remove from government what many thought was inordinate control of the electoral process. As well, it was hoped fixed dates would improve voter turnout, which has been in decline for the last several years.
Has it achieved the goals? On the first point, there is little doubt the ability to call an election amounts to a powerful tool in a governing party's electioneering toolkit. Careful attention to the winds of public opinion allows savvy strategists to predict when the dropping of a writ most favours their party.
Fixed election dates seem to nullify the tool, but do they completely? Savvy governments are still able to develop policy and plan government spending that best suits their purpose. Some might argue, at the least, it makes the process more transparent but only marginally so. As we've seen with the recent ethnic planning
scandal, a great deal of behind-the-scenes scheming is still possible.
How about voter turnouts? Have they improved? The stats indicate a marginal improvement but to peg that entirely on fixed date elections is impossible.
The reality is, there is as much potential to turn off voters with fixed dates as there is to invigorate them with new civic passion. As we are seeing, fixed dates extend the electoral cycle dramatically. The election is set for May 14, but we are already in the campaign. It's likely many of B.C.'s average folk will be sick of politics by the time May rolls around.
There was a time when a five-week election campaign, dropped on voters out of the blue, meant something.
Maybe it should be made to mean something again.

Translate this page Sun City Man Fatally Shot By PoliceWednesday, April 23rd, 2014 Issue 17, Volume 18.
Mickey Larragoitiy, 58, was shot in the garage of his home on Winged Foot Drive in the community of Sun City, which serves seniors, by deputies who had received a call around 9:30 p.m. Monday night from a neighbor to check on his welfare. Riverside County Deputy Alberto Martinez said Larragoitiy pointed a handgun at the deputies who arrived to offer assistance and was then shot. Family members said the weapon was a BB gun. The Riverside Press-Enterprise, which reported Larragoitiy's identity, quoted family members as saying he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. The newspaper reported that the neighbor who made the welfare call, Suzie Murray, had received a call from Larragoitiy saying he no longer wanted to live and would "die at the hands of cops." Advertisement Murray told the newspaper she called police and was still on the line when the deputies arrived. "I could hear them yelling, 'Don't pick up that weapon!'" Murray said. A hail of gunfire fire followed, killing Larragoitiy, who was sitting in a chair in the garage. David Larragoitiy, 54, of Vista, told the Press-Enterprise that his brother had made calls to several people Monday night and that he might have been drinking. But he said the man wouldn't have harmed a deputy. He said their mother, who lives across the street, also had called the police. "She thinks it's her fault," David Larragoitiy told the Press- Enterprise. "She just wanted them to check on him." Larragoitiy's son, Jason Larragoitiy, 40, of San Clemente, told the Press-Enterprise that his father recently had decided not to continue cancer treatment and had talked about suicide. He also questioned the actions of the deputies. "I think the police could have handled it way different," he said. The deputies involved were placed on paid administrative leave, which is department policy in shootings. Their names were not disclosed. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

There is nothing more exhausting than playing referee between your children. So instead of hearing both sides and passing judgment, Cassatly suggests letting your children work it out independently.
With younger children, give them some tools to help them solve problems. Offer a suggestion such as "You could take turns with the toy, or you could play with it together. Which do you think would work better?" You can also have some house rules, such as what happens if a child hits, or what happens if two children want the same object.
As much as possible, though, keep emotion out of the picture when it comes to resolving fights. Instead, focus on the positive.
"Remind kids about the importance of siblings sticking together," Cassatly says. "And realize that they do ultimately care about each other. Praise them when they do something nice to each other, when they act mature or when they look out for each other."
In time, you'll see your children working out their differences, helping each other out, and growing closer together.

I made this today, but with modifications for using LED Tactile switches which light up as you press them.
However, I did have some issues getting the code to work. The file does not compile with the tone library. However as the tone functionality is now available within the latest version of Arduino (1.0.6), I modified your code to make use of this. It does however require the user to pick up the pitches.h file as used in the toneKeyboard example
Hey! I have a quick question, the game seems to be working fine but the LEDs are INSANELY glitchy. Only the outside two ever light up, and occasionally the middle ones light up when I press it, making it nearly impossible to play. They are all in the right places so I have no idea what is causing this.
Are you building the circuit on protoboard first or already soldering it on perfboard?
I dont know nothing about arduino but i have made some proyects in the past with boards..
I want to make this proyect to work with children with special needs.. But they used to throw away things.. So i will need to be with bateries inside.... Could you please explain to me how to conect the bateries to arduino?.. Thanks..
you can connect the battery and Arduino in a way that has been described in the picture. Then you can put the battery inside the box, and put the switch outside the box (make a hole in the enclosure for put the switch)
I hope it's help, thank you once again :)
don't forget to vote for me if you like my instructables :)
Saya dari Jakarta, lagi kuliah di Bandung. Saya juga masih newbie kok ttg arduino, sama2 masih belajar hehehe...
take a look to this tutorials they'll help you, you can either use the ATMega with or without external oscillator
Btw, thank you so much for the votes, appreciate it greatly :)
Thank you!!

Thank you anyway :)

Obese children outgrowing kids' clothing and furnitureBy Madison Park, CNNUpdated 1230 GMT (2030 HKT) February 15, 2012As children become obese, they're outgrowing school furniture, clothing and growth charts.Story highlightsIn school, obese teen struggled to fit into his deskFurniture makers are designing larger chairs and desks for overweight kidsObese and overweight kids now exceed growth chartsIn middle school, Taylor LeBaron struggled to fit into his seat. The desks in class had a ceramic plate attached to the chair. "I was so large, I couldn't fit in there," said LeBaron, now 19. "Every other student could. I couldn't get my legs to fit underneath the desk or my stomach to fit between the chair without getting the desk stuck with me."It was really embarrassing. When class is over, everyone gets up, I would take a few minutes extra, tactfully maneuvering out without looking like a fool." But LeBaron, who weighed nearly 300 pounds at age 14, never requested a separate table and chair because he didn't want to draw more attention to himself. As children are getting bigger, their clothing, their furniture and other objects that support their weight must also expand. Taylor LeBaron, at nearly 300 pounds, struggled to fit in his seat during middle school.Seventeen percent of children are obese, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And one in three kids is obese or overweight. The rate of childhood obesity has tripled to the point that pediatricians say growth charts no longer apply to today's kids. Interactive: An obese nationTo accommodate larger kids, some schools have instructions for teachers to provide separate chairs and desks for students who cannot fit into the pupil chairs. And school furniture makers are increasing the size of chairs and desks to accommodate larger students. "Other students snickered as I would try to get out of my chair," LeBaron recalled. "You could hear them snickering. You don't forget how that feels -- that embarrassment and that redness in your face." Being set apart from peers by sitting in a different chair means "their peers recognize them as large, different," said Dr. Phil Wu, a pediatrician who leads Kaiser Permanente's pediatric obesity prevention and treatment effort."At all ages, kids don't want to feel different," Wu said. "They get ostracized by the peers in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. It's more of that social psychological impact that's insidious in a way that's more profound than what the child might experience than sitting in a standard seat."Hertz Furniture, a company that resells office and school furniture, started offering 19-inch chairs for schools three years ago. The biggest desks available before had a height of 18 inches. The taller chairs have deeper depth and wider seating. These chairs from Academia Furniture Industries show the range of sizes from 12 to 19 inches."The desks are getting larger, because if their thighs are larger, you have to move the desks up," said Amy Hoffman, Hertz's director of marketing. Georgia's child obesity ads aim to create movement out of controversyNewer student desks with adjustable heights can accommodate bigger bodies. The student seats are designed to look just like the other ones, so they don't make obese students appear different from their peers. "That is an obesity trend reflected in the furniture," said Tom Brennan, president of School Outfitters, which sells school furniture. "For perspective, when we look at import product from China, you can tell the difference from the China market and the U.S. market. The buckets are generally not wide enough. They have to be designed specifically for the U.S."Shawn Green, vice president of design and product marketing for KI, a company that designs and manufactures school and hospital furnishings, said the diameter of the metal, the supporting structure and the width, depth and height of school chairs have to be modified to work in the American market. "People are not only heavier but also getting taller," Green said. "In general, we're getting bigger in scale; that affects children as well."Just Watched'Hard to be a little girl if you're not'replayMore Videos ...'Hard to be a little girl if you're not' 06:10PLAY VIDEOChairs made for older and bigger students are being used in middle and elementary schools to comfortably fit overweight and obese students. Schools prefer the "big and tall" sizes for educational furniture, said Tony Ellison, CEO of Shoplet.com, which sells office and school furniture. In the past five years, the biggest seats have been selling better than the standard sizes, he added. These items also cost more. Michelle Obama wants to know what your family members are doing to improve their healthIt's not just school desks that don't fit.A 2005 Pediatrics study found limited child safety seats for the increasing number of obese young children. "There was a risk of kids not being covered for safety," said the study author, Lara McKenzie. "If there are bigger kids, maybe there are some safety devices or equipment that wouldn't fit them properly." The study suggested that car seats should maximize "the protection of obese children." Another study in 2009 suggested that most children in the study were too heavy to be compliant with child safety seat laws. Childhood obesity affects their safety in matters beyond child seats and ill-fitting school furniture. Obese kids are more likely to get heart disease, high cholesterol and high blood pressure and are more prone to diabetes, bone and joint problems. Their health problems are also more likely to follow into adulthood. In extreme cases, pediatricians have reported toddlers with hip displacement problems from carrying too much weight and metabolic abnormalities in their insulin, liver enzymes and cholesterol -- usually problems detected in older adults. Children of this generation have exceeded the growth charts used in the United States since 1977. These charts are a series of percentile curves that illustrate how young children grow. "Right now, if we say that 15 or 17% of all kids are over 95th percentile for obesity, statistically that doesn't make sense," Wu said. How to make sense of your child's numbersBut that's what has happened. "Compared to a population of Americans when these growth charts were created, more and more people today are exceeding what would've been the top percentile for weight and BMI back then," he said. It's not a matter in whether the growth charts need to be redone, Wu said. "Our population today has become so large that now, it looks like more and more people are over the limits. It just highlights the problem that we have." First lady answers questions about childhood obesityLeBaron, who wrote about his battle with teenage obesity in his book "Cutting Myself in Half," said the safety bar at amusement park rides barely locked over his abdomen. He couldn't find T-shirts with the style he liked in his size. LeBaron, now 19, lost about 150 pounds during his teenage years. Clothing is often an issue. Many obese kids and teenagers find that the plus sizes aren't fashionable. At his peak weight, LeBaron wore 42-inch-waist pants and triple-X-large shirts. People of that size don't have many choices except sheet-like T-shirts in bland solid colors, LeBaron said. "It was difficult because I'd go into Walmart or another clothing store, I found something cool, like a video game T-shirt, and I wanted to get it," he said. "It's not in my size. If they did, I'd have to dig through special drawer of extended sizes. It really hurt. They're setting you apart."In recent years, the apparel industry has paid more attention to the growing size of kids, tweens and teens. Retailers such as the Gap, Forever 21, Old Navy and Target have plus-sized clothing lines for kids and teenagers. The boy's plus sizes with bigger waist sizes and baggier tees are called "husky."It's a growing trend criticized by MeMe Roth, founder and president of the National Action Against Obesity. "Anyone making money off this health crisis for children should be ashamed of themselves," she said. "I'm not surprised people want to benefit from it. There's such a demand. That's a societal failing that there's a hyper growth for plus-sized children."Kids should be able to dress in fashionable clothing, but Roth said the fact that children need special sizes is a major health concern. "Our kids should be the healthiest," she said. "If outside influences were causing damage to our children this way, a nation or a group, we would be at war. ... We should be angry that this is happening to children."The shame and embarrassment didn't motivate LeBaron to get healthier, he said. Instead, it just made him depressed and overcame the confidence that he could ever change. He would retreat home and eat junk food. What helped, he explained, was having people around him who brought a balance of honesty and compassion, who wanted him to feel good about himself by encouraging healthy choices. Receiving a gym membership gift from his grandparents and hitting 290 pounds spurred LeBaron to start exercising. LeBaron, now a college freshman in Georgia, lost 152 pounds. One of his proudest moments was being able to shop at Macy's instead of a special plus-size store.

Asus X502C review
14 in 1,366x768 display, 1.9kg, 1.5GHz Intel Celeron 1007U, 4.00GB RAM, 500GB disk, Windows 8
The vividly purple Asus X502C looks brilliant, doesn't cost much and, measuring 20m thick with a weight of 1.9kg, is reasonably light and slim. Note, however, that there's no disc drive, which helps to keep costs and weight down. Closed, it measures 20x382x255mm, making it bigger than your average ultraportable but not too bulky to carry around with you. It has reasonable battery life for a cheap laptop, too, managing 5h 36m in our light-use battery test.
The laptop's glossy 14in screen produces pleasing images, although its viewing angles are rather poor, which meant that we had to make sure that the screen was at the right angle to keep it from looking murky. Its colours look vivid, but when we tested the screen with a calibration device they didn't come across as very accurate; the device showed the screen as only showing 55.8% of the sRGB colour gamut. That's poor by the standard of desktop monitors, but typical for a low-cost laptop. The screen's measured contrast ratio as a rather mediocre 360:1. The glossy finish makes every colour tone look richer, but also means that the laptop is prone to picking up glare or reflecting your face back at you if you're using it in a brightly-lit room or outside.
The screen has a standard laptop resolution of 1,366x768. Although the laptop's chassis colour screams fun, don't mistake the X502C for a gaming laptop, even though you can just about run most recent titles at their lowest settings. You won't have trouble with 2D titles or older 3D games, but the on-chip Intel HD Graphics GPU failed our Dirt Showdown test at High quality and a resolution of 1,280x720. Dropping the quality to Ultra Low and disabling anti-aliasing, however, produced a playable average frame rate of 35fps at the same resolution.
The processor itself is an Intel Celeron 1007U running at 1.5GHz. It only has two cores, which makes it rather underpowered, producing an overall score of just 18 in our benchmark tests. It's powerful enough to handle Windows 8 desktop applications, but feels slow logging into your user account or loading Windows' default media players. It only feels a touch sluggish when browsing the web, watching movies and creating documents, but if you spend a lot of time carrying out processor intensive tasks such as media encoding, then this definitely isn't the laptop for you. Its terrible score of 12 in our multitasking test starkly shows the limitations of the underpowered processor.
In terms of form and feel, the X502 is excellent. There's not too much flex in the lid and the interior's smooth finish is comfortable to rest your wrists on. The laptop is broad enough to ensure that nothing feels too cramped, even though the full numeric keypad is somewhat squashed over to the right. This in turn means that the touchpad, positioned beneath the space bar, is offset from the laptop's centre line. Fortunately, there's still plenty of room on both sides of it and we didn't find ourselves accidentally brushing it while typing. The flat, widely-spaced keys have a reasonable amount of travel, which makes them feel more responsive than many similarly designed laptop keyboards. The touchpad itself is large, responsive and supports gestures such as two-fingered scrolling. The buttons built into it feel somewhat stiff, something we've encountered on other Asus laptops.
Although it lacks a disc drive, the laptop has an SDXC card reader, two USB ports and a USB3 port, as well a reasonably sized 500GB hard disk. In terms of network connectivity, it has a Gigabit Ethernet port and 802.11n Wi-Fi. If you want to connect the laptop to a larger display device, such as a TV or projector for film viewing, there are both VGA and HDMI outputs available. There's also a 3.5mm headset port which can also be used to connect standard stereo speakers or headphones. The integrated speakers are fine for watching YouTube videos and playing back system sounds, but you'll want to connect a set of external speakers if you want to listen to music as it should be heard.
The laptop costs just under £300, which is a very good price for its screen size, but the underpowered processor means that you'd be far better off paying £10 more for the far more powerful HP Pavilion Ultrabook 14-b003SA.

In LFS-6.0 the /dev is mounted on ramfs, as result all the devices you create with mknod disappear. udev is supposed to create all devices anew. Read more carefully section 7.4 in the book. Also check the archives of this list. There was a lot of discussion about possible problems with udev. Andrei

Hey I have posted a new thread specifically on this board so that we can discuss it over there and as a few of us get this in we can hopefully get some real facts and information out there. My wife will kill me but I went ahead and ordered one as I'm extremely intrigued. Also I have sent an email to 9imod.com in hopes they can maybe answer some questions.

I can't see how to avoid customs and shipping if you live outside the US. price?
I guess those are a bit lower in price: http://www.ebay.de/itm/NEW-Blade-mQX...-/200819153458 http://www.ebay.de/itm/BLADE-MQX-4-i...-/130743630037 http://www.ebay.de/itm/Blade-BLH7501...-/221134303786 Well battery connectors differ and you need the $1 mQX Centerplate. Anyway if you start, you won't have the need to use LB batteries. Weight might be a point to take into consideration... On the other hand, buying a Devo 8S and flashing the Deviation Firmware via USB will give you a decent versatile radio with both Walkera protocols, DSM compatibility and optional with some (easy) hw hacking 9x protocol as well. No more worries about different Rx then. Just fly what you can get |

Heli-Max 1SQ
Anyone ever hear of the Heli-Max 1SQ? It can use the Anylink system that claims to make it compatible with any transmitter. I don't know if that would make it compatible with the Flysky TH9X (Turnigy 9x.) It's for sale at Tower Hobbies.
Here's a review I found on YouTube:
It sure looks promising. Gerard. |

Latest blog entry: and again ...

I think the concept is good, but at the same time I just don't like the thought of hanging the stupid box on my tx. I have a friend who bought the sabre micro with anylink the first week it came out to use on his dx8 and it's still just sitting in the box. He hasn't flown it once. Not that it's necessarily complicated or anything. It just adds unecessary bulk. Once again great concept, but I don't think it's taking off as much as they thought it would.
As for the 1SQ, I will admit it is one of the nicer looking quads, and the fact that it's just a hair bigger than a ladybird I'm sure has it's advantages visually, however the other problem I see is it uses a lipo that seems pretty one off in its dimensions, while most of the clones are using the same type of lipo's that the ladybird and others use, so lipo's are interchangable between them, while it doesn't look like there's really any other lipo available that will fit this other than the stock lipo's (and 9 eagles since it seems this is just a rebranded 9 eagles) |

The HiSKY FF120 also coes with a radio adapter that you can attach to your JR or Futaba transmitter.

Dear Journal,
Most of us would like to think that our parents are the most trust worthy of all people and would do nothing to disrespect and or go against that. Sadly, that would sometimes mean having to live a double life to please them.
What's the meaning of life? Seriously, no "42" answers. And if you can't think of one, isn't that a bigger dilemma?

Paso Del Norte art exhibit at the Fallbrook LibraryThursday, August 29th, 2013 Issue 35, Volume 17.
The exhibition, which is curated by Margarita Marina from the Mexican Cultural Institute, has appeared in two venues in Mexico, Tecate and Tijuana, and will be shown in Los Angeles after the exhibit in Fallbrook. It features five California artists who emigrated north from Mexico to the United States: Daniel Marquez, Francesco Siqueiros, Isabel Martinez, Jose Antonio Aguirre and Marianne Sadowski. Daniel Marquez is Advertisement The style of paintings in this show comes from the artists experience with Mexican culture and art, from the immigrant experience, and from the influence of Contemporary Art as practiced in the United States. Thus, their paintings may recall Mexican images, such as Guadalupe, but are often presented in a style that is grounded in Contemporary Art. It is surprising to have this outstanding binational exhibit shown in a small town library. However, Fallbrook is known for art and the library has built a reputation for the exhibition of fine art. Over the past two years, 15 curated exhibits have been shown involving 155 artists and 530 pieces of art from Fallbrook and the region. Notable was the first ever Latino art exhibit in Fallbrook, "Siempre Viva," shown in 2012. Fallbrook Library is located at 124 S. Mission Rd.; its phone number is (760) 731-4650. 1 comments

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)We are Listening to you! Voice-controlled Web sites on Google Chrome - can be hacked
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
January 23rd, 2014 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) In an already slightly paranoid Internet community a new -- and most unwelcome discovery has been made. A security expert has says that visitors to voice-controlled Web sites on Google Chrome can easily listen in on personal conversations, compromising users' privacy. Google has yet to implement his recommended fix. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The Israeli programmer behind the "annyang!" speech-recognition script for Web sites, Tal Ater discovered the vulnerability last year. He submitted a report through the proper Google channels, and received a response right away that engineers were addressing the issue.In spite of these claims, Google has yet to implement it. End world hunger with prayer and action -- Most sites that use voice recognition use secure HTTPS servers. While these sites are supposedly secure, Chrome doesn't need to ask permission every time the site wants to run voice-recognition software. Under ordinary circumstances, this is a convenient way for users to interact with their favorite sites. It's distressing, however, how a person up to no good could use this feature for the wrong reasons. An HTTPS certificate is not hard to come by, and programming an invisible pop-up window is well within a competent Web programmer's skill set. This would enable Web site operators listen in on whatever you say after Chrome is closed and, if they wish, record your conversations. While a clear privacy threat, it remains to be seen whether any site has actually implemented such a measure, -- or what the malefactor would learn from it. Most people do not converse with their Web browsers outside the confines of a voice-recognition page. However, video chat and online gaming do represent a possible avenue of attack. Imagine logging in to Skype or "League of Legends" and having every word monitored by an outside agency. At this time, the majority of video and gaming chats are of little to no interest to a potential attacker, so sorting through them would be inefficient. Targeting individual users could be a way to glean potentially compromising information, though. The best way an individual could keep to keep safe on voice-recognition sites is to use the HTTP version of a site rather than its HTTPS counterpart. In other words, a site has to ask permission every time you use its voice-recognition software, and if you see something fishy, you can simply say no. Voice recognition for Web site navigation is not that popular yet, but it may be soon, given the rise of computers with built-in microphones and browsers that support them. So in the meantime, be careful about speaking your passwords, Social Security number and directions to your home. Pope Francis calls for your 'prayer and action'...

Cibus And Rapid Trait Development System (RTDS)
About Cibus
Founded in 2001, Cibus is a privately-held global organization that produces environmentally-friendly products for the agricultural, industrial and healthcare markets. Through the application of a proprietary technology called the Rapid Trait Development System (RTDS), Cibus' technologies yield innovative products to meet the needs of a growing global population.
Large Product Applications and Robust Product Pipeline
The value of the Cibus technology is that it yields one or more beneficial characteristics (or traits) established within the genome of the target organism. The benefits of the new traits are significant and have direct commercial product and process applications. Today, the Company focuses its development efforts on three distinct verticals: industrial biotechnology, agriculture and human health and wellness.
With the global population to exceed 9 billion by 2050, the Food and Agriculture Organization estimates the need for a 70% increase in crop production to simply maintain nutrition at today's levels. Cibus has attracted partners for trait development programs in many of the world's major crops (canola, rice, corn, wheat, potato, sugarbeet and others). The Company's R&D pipeline features projects across all development phases with herbicide tolerant canola ready to enter the US market in 2014. Arrangements have been established for field-testing and production of seed from its various programs in numerous locations in Europe, North and South America.
Industrial Products
In 2013, Cibus further validated its technology by entering the cosmetic, nutraceutical and lubricant additive segments through its RTDS-based yeast production process (ypRTDS) to make squalane. The Company's squalane process and product is both GMO-free and sustainable. It is the only known quality equivalent of the current deep water shark sourced product. The ypRTDS platform offers a wide variety of additional specialty chemical applications.
Human Health
The RTDS technology has a great number of applications in human and animal therapeutics (stem cell therapy, gene therapy and validated drug targets) correcting specific disease causing mutations.

Toyota have confirmed that Kamui Kobayashi, a graduate of the Toyota Young Drivers Programme (TDP), will step up to Formula One racing in 2008 as the teams third driver, replacing the outgoing Franck Montagny
Kobayashi, 21, has been associated with Toyota since 2001, and he first raced single-seaters in the Esso Formula Toyota Championship in Japan in 2002. After making a name for himself in Japanese junior racing, he has since progressed through the single-seater ranks in Europe and enjoyed his first Formula One test late last year.
This is a great challenge for me and I am very excited about becoming a Formula One driver, said Kobayashi. Since the start of my career I have dreamed of reaching Formula One and to have the chance to join Panasonic Toyota Racing as third driver is a fantastic opportunity for me.
My first tests for the team last winter went well but I still have things to learn about Formula One and it will be a great experience for me to test more regularly for the team. The role of third driver is very important as I will be helping a lot with the development of the car throughout the year. I am sure I will learn a lot about Formula One cars and hopefully this will help me in my future career but for now I am focused on helping the team move forward.
Commenting on Kobayashis appointment, Toyota team principal Tadashi Yamashina said: I am very pleased to welcome Kamui to the team. He tested the car last winter and showed he had the potential to drive in Formula One in the future. Now, after another season gaining experience in Formula Three, we believe he is ready for the challenge of Formula 1. It is also very gratifying to see the TDP scheme delivering results and helping a promising young driver to reach Formula One.
Kobayashi moved to Europe in 2004 and spent two years in the Formula Renault Eurocup and Italian Formula Renault Championship, winning both crowns in 2005 - a title double only achieved previously by one other driver.
From there he stepped up to Formula Three, a traditional breeding ground for future Formula One stars, and in his two seasons in the Euro Series he scooped rookie of the year honours in the first and finished fourth overall in the second.

Here are some thoughts on the Miami Dolphins' 30-23 victory over the Buffalo Bills :
What it means: Miami (5-9) continues its strong second-half push and improves to 5-2 in the past seven games. It also marked the first victory under interim coach Todd Bowles, who kept the Dolphins focused and motivated this week after the firing of Tony Sparano. For Buffalo (5-9), it was the team's seventh straight loss. The Bills have major questions to answer on both sides of the ball.
What I liked: Miami tailback Reggie Bush continues to make a push for his first 1,000-yard season. He recorded a season-high 203 rushing yards, including a 76-yard touchdown to seal the game. He now needs 77 yards in the final two games for the milestone. Dolphins quarterback Matt Moore returned from last week's head and neck injury and played very efficiently. He threw for 217 yards and two touchdowns -- one to receiver Brandon Marshall and the other to tight end Anthony Fasano.
What I didn't like: Defensively, the Bills don't do anything well. They can't stop the run or rush the passer and need to spend a lot of resources in the draft and free agency to improve on that side of the football. Offensively, it also looks like the Bills may have jumped the gun on signing quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to a $59 million extension. Fitzpatrick lost his seventh straight game as a starting quarterback and was inaccurate in the first three quarters. He threw for 316 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions. Fitzpatrick padded his stats late in the fourth quarter after Miami took a sizable lead. Fitzpatrick will be the starter for the foreseeable future, and it's looking dicey if he can lift the Bills to contender status.
What's next: The Dolphins will travel for the second consecutive week to play the New England Patriots. New England won the first meeting between these two teams, 38-24, in Week 1. The Bills have another tough game upcoming next week. Buffalo will host Tim Tebow and the surging Denver Broncos, who were 7-1 in their past eight games entering Sunday.

ACE offers a very special Guided Mountain Bike Trip this time of the year. It's called "Follow the Gauley River", and it has to be one of the best rides in the country that just about anyone can do.
Why? It's 90% downhill.
Where We Go
This tour runs in the remote canyons of the Meadow and Gauley rivers, following an abandon railroad grade. That means it is a fairly wide graveled path that even those who haven't been on a bike for a while will enjoy. Sure, you will have to do some pedaling, but that's why you're mountain biking, right?
The trip starts out on an old twisting road that descends down to the Meadow River to the abandoned railroad tracks. The tracks and ties have been removed, leaving this remote ribbon of a trail that very few get to experience. As you follow the Meadow River you will catch glimpses of the river and rock cliffs high above. If the leaves are changing it is a smorgasbord of subtle colors that will amaze you.
The Old Tunnel
My favorite part of this section is riding through the old Carnifex Railroad Tunnel. It's almost 1,000 feet long and curves through the mountain. You can't see the end until you actually enter it and ride a little bit. It's a little spooky at first, but it is an experience you won't soon forget.
Once through the tunnel, you will be less than a mile from the Gauley River. Just before you get there, you will see an old road bed crossing the trail – this is the old Paterson Road, one of the first roads in the area that ends at the confluence of the Meadow and Gauley Rivers. There was an old ferry here that crossed the Gauley River that was an important strategic location during the Civil War. The Confederate General John Floyd and his 2,000 men used it to escape the 7,000 Union forces led by General William Rosecrans during the Canifex Ferry Battle that was waged on top of the mountain on the other side of the Gauley. A great story your guide might share.
River Views
Next you'll enter the Gauley River corridor. This is a great ride anytime of the year, but if you plan it during the Fall Release, when they open the Summersville Dam and release a torrent of whitewater, you are in for a very special experience! You'll hear and feel the roar and rumble of the river before you see it. The trip begins at Lost Paddle Rapid. This is one of the legendary Class V rapids that is made up of four technical drops. You never forget your first time rafting this one.
As you travel down the river you will catch some unique views of the river that no rafter gets to see. You may even get a glimpse of some deer or even a bear. You'll get to stop by Iron Ring, another Class V Rapid. But the best is yet to come.
Here Come The Rapids
When you book during a release day you will get to stop at the most famous rapid on the river… Sweet's Falls!!! This 14-foot waterfall is "The Show". You will get to hangout and watch all the action as rafters try to navigate down the falls and avoid spilling or running Box Canyon. This will take place at ACE's private lunch site just below the drop that includes restrooms and lunch.
We aren't talking about just any old lunch, we are talking about the best lunch on the river. Grilled burgers or chicken, fresh salads and desserts. Believe me, the lunch is worth the ride alone!
After you had all the fun you can stand watching the river antics and filling your stomach, the trip continues another five miles down river to the take out.
This trip is perfect for those who don't want to go rafting but want to experience the Gauley excitement. It is also a favorite of rafters who want to see the river again after rafting it the day before.
If it's been a while since you were on one, don't worry. Riding a bike is like … riding a bike. It'll all come back to you.

No, it won't sear, but it's great for going from smoking to finishing off ribs, chicken, etc. at 350 or whatever.

Holy ****! The brine and the rub combined to make a salt nightmare. At least the breasts and thighs survived. Time to adjust my additives.

Well at least I have a starting point on a few of these things. I think I can tune them in pretty quick.
Most definitely, however when it comes to butts, and an oven is available, why not improve upon the final outcome. I use the cooler method when I have to cook at home and travel. If I had cooked a brisket or anything but a butt, I would rest it the same way, wrapped up
tight. Butts just get better and better with low heat and moisture though..just my two cents..

Biomass Magazine
This article takes a dismissive perspective on recent critical findings on biofuels published in the Science Magazine. There, Dan Kammen and other climate experts pointed out a loophole in the current wording of the Kyoto Protocol which should be addressed at the negotiations in Copenhagen. They state that biofuels may have negative carbon footprints due to potential prior deforestation.
