Get 0.A.D For Free! (Historical RTS Real Time Strategy Role Playing Strategy War Combat Game)Popular cover boxes for 0 A.D. on eBay
0 A.D. is an epic free and open source real-time strategy game. Download 0 A.D. For Free Here You don't have to pay for 0 A.D. These downloads are completely legal. About this postAs explained in a recent news post by the 0 A.D. team, You Do Not Need to Buy 0 A.D. on eBay. It would be ideal if the teams behind open source projects would have people working on selling the game in an ethical way that would support their work and the people working on the project. Ethical would for example mean that it would be clearly stated that the game can be downloaded for free, what kind of physical box to expect (if at all, I remember that SuperTuxKart would often be sold as a "digital download" product) and laying out the distribution of income transparently. This would turn the purchase into a donation (whether that is an acceptable word to describe it needs to be checked with eBay terms) and there are likely to still be buyers that don't have the skills or time to read the text or double-check the freeware status of the game or only look at the screenshots.

Throttle Hold simply cuts the power to the motor without changing any of the control surfaces. So it stops putting more energy into the the system and stops the gears getting stripped when it hits. If you fly with your finger resting on that switch, I think it's quicker than pulling the throttle/pitch lever down anyway. And as others have mentioned, when you start to fly in one of the 'idle-up' modes, pulling the pitch lever down won't stop the motor - it will just accelerate the heli. in whatever direction 'down' happens to be.

Just had my first two flights on new 130x, stock - no mods. Only sanded the A gear lightly. I did not notice any unwanted behaviors, smooth upright flying in normal mode only. Next flight try switching into idle up. I'm happy so far, though that gear is pretty close to the elev servo, stupid IMO.

Many thanks to EVERBODY who responded to my post. As I mentioned, I will be asking for more help,..be patient After doing some research, I think that learning to fly this thing should be in STUNT MODE right off the bat, with throttle at %80, instead of %100 per the manual ?? Question, not that I will flying upside down anytime soon but, in trying to understand what's going on here, I don't see any neg, pitch in the manuals DX6i pitch curve settings ? ALL opinions welcomed !! RUD |

Evidenced by powering up, switch on throttle hold and put the heli in idle up (stunt mode). You will see the blades' pitch change from 0 to 100 as you move the throttle up. Center the stick, you are right around 50. Negative pitch is not necessarily a negative number in the radio. Wow. Did some more flights and this time noticed the awful resonance on the tail at lower throttle. Best to power up quick to center stick and avoid that mess. Is this an issue people are worried about solving or just ignore and move stick up fast to avoid? e |
Nov 22, 2012, 05:50 PM | |
If it just has tail fin vibration at low throttle and not any other time I think there is no need to do anything and just throttle past it.
If it has vibration during flight then you might want to think about balancing the blades, looking over the torque tube, gears, tail box or bearings. |

I just got my 130x the other day, been doing some reading, not sure if people were trying to fix that specific problem as it really isn't a problem since I won't be flying the heli at low throttle. Kinda dumb for HH to let that issue go to production. Their fix is in the manual I guess, quickly move throttle to 50%.

- Owner Review - Woods Canada City Lite 350 Thinsulate Lite Loft Sleeping
Review Date: April 1, 2006
Name: Conlan Aams
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Height: 6' (1.8 m)
Weight: 220 lb (99.8 kg)
Email address: adamscr@...
City, State, Country: Britton MI, U.S.A.
Backpacking Background:
I've been backpacking for about fourteen years off and on with various
levels of involvement. I grew up camping, hunting, and fishing, so
I've never been a stranger to the outdoors. Most trips are backpacking
and fishing trips, from one night to four. I consider myself a
comfortable light weight packer, in that I like light gear, but prefer
a good tent, and external frame pack. My average three season three
day pack is about 20-22 lbs before water, including food and fuel. So
far all of my backpacking has been in Michigan, but I hope to change
that in the next few years. I'm not a person who is generally gentle
with my gear. I dont abuse it, but overly delicate gear, doesnt last
Product Information:
Product: City Lite 350
Size: Regular
Manufacturer: Woods Canada
Year of Manufacture: 1995 or 1996
URL: http://www.woodscanada.com/
Fill: Thinsulate Lite Loft
Fill weight: Unlisted
Listed weight: 2.4lbs 1.09kg
Temperature rating: 32F/23F (0C/-5C)
MSRP: Unlisted, found online for $89.99 US
Product Description:
This sleeping bag is a rectangluar design with a mummy hood. The
outter shell is ripstop nylon with a polycotton lining. The insulation
is Thinsulate Lite Loft made by 3M.
There is a thin draft tube sewn in above the zipper that goes the full
length of the bag. It has two drawstrings, one to cinche the bag
around you neck/shoulders and another to pull the hood tight around
your face. Both have push button type friction locks.
The bag was received as a gift, and came in its polyester stuff sack.
Field Conditions:
I have slept in this bag more times than I remember. Everything from
cold spring hunting trips, to hot summer backpacking trips, with rain
downpours thrown in. The tempetures ranged from about 25F to 80F
(-3.8C to 26.6C). This bag was not used in winter, and elevation
stayed between sea level to about 1000FT (0 to 304M).
Product Review:
When I first received this bag as a birthday gift, I was ecstatic.
Finally a lightweight very compressable sleeping bag that I could use,
and I didnt have to drag along the family camping sleeping bags when I
went backpacking.
My first few trips with this bag were great. Mainly in the northern
part of the lower penninsula of Michigan, most temps were between 40F
(4C) degrees and 60F (15C). On the nights that it was warmer out, I
unziped the bag and used it as a blanket.
This was my main stay bag for years. More recently I was out of the
sport due to college, getting married, moving, and having a baby, but
lately I have been picking up where I left off, and have found some
shortcomings in my old bag. Mainly, its much snugger on my current
frame and a bit short. I first got this bag when I was 15 or 16, and
didnt hit my full height and size until I was in my early 20's about
the time I cut back on my camping. If your six foot or taller (1.8M or
greater) this isnt a bag for you. If you have a wide frame or
shoulders, once again, not the bag for you. If you want lots of foot
room from a mummy style bag, then this one is a winner.
In the last few years, I have taken this bag to a few more extreme
temps, and found that if you approach the high side of the rating, you
may find it lacking. One cold hunting trip when it dipped into the mid
to low 20s (-7c to -1c) I shivered myself awake, and put on additional
layers (a fleece pull over and sweat pants) on top of my poly long
underwear. I slept chilly the rest of the night.
I've always considered myself a warm sleeper, but if you take this bag
down to 23F, I suggest having a coat or some blankets handy. Over all,
taking the limitations of this bag into account, its been a great bag
for me for years. I am going to replace it as my main three season
bag, because of the fit issues I have had with it, but I think it will
stay in my collection for friends and family to use for a few more
years. Not bad for a light weight bag that I have owned for about ten
Things I like:
1. Light weight
2. Very compact
3. Affordable
4. Full length zipper
Things I don't like:
1. Too small for large people
2. Optimistic temp rating
3. No draft collar

A decade ago, the name Sukhwa Young was well-known to junior tennis aficionados. Born in Alaska, he moved to Florida at age 11 and won a number of USTA Supernationals, achieving a #1 USTA ranking in the 12s, 14s, and 16s age divisions.
Young had some success at Georgia Tech and on the ATP circuit before a shoulder injury ended his career.
Harry Cicma of NBC Sports recently had the chance to talk tennis with Young. Here are highlights from their conversation.
Harry Cicma (HC): What was the experience like for you, playing for a top ACC program in your home state?
Sukhwa Young (SY): I actually played for Georgia Tech, and my home state is Florida. However, it is still close.
Playing in college gave tennis a complete different outlook for me. As you know, tennis is an individual sport, and when it is turned into a team effort it is a huge change.
HC: I remember you used to train at Saddlebrook Academy in Tampa, What other factors led to your great success in the juniors and at the top National NCAA level?
SY: To be successful in anything, you need to have a strong will, mindset, and discipline. You to be passionate about what you are doing - and above all enjoy what you are doing and dream big. Anything is possible if you work hard.
HC: What's your best memory from competing on the Pro ATP level?
SY: I remember when I was 16 years old getting my first ATP point played in a Futures against an NCAA Champion from Stanford... When I was serving for match point I could barely move my arms or legs, it was an amazing experience to compete at that level.
HC: What advice would you give a player looking to reach the top national level in college and juniors?
The old saying if you want to be a millionaire act like a millionaire applies to tennis. Never be satisfied with what you did - and strive to get better. Always have a higher goal in mind.
HC: What was the best part of being a Division 1 college athlete?
SY: Just the whole team atmosphere. Playing for something bigger than yourself really generates that much more emotion - you are not out there just winning or losing for yourself. It's also a great opportunity to compete with some of the best athletes in the country and in the world.

Consider this…….
By the time you get this newsletter there will be dirt preparation for the new wing of the UBA building. I thank the messenger that saw the vision and possibilities for this new wing. The Southern Baptist slogan, "Trust the Lord and tell the people" has been followed. I watched our Director go through careful steps to make sure that the involved leaders of our association felt this was the leading of the Lord. Each step was confirmation, and this continued till the messengers voted and gave full affirmation that this work was to be carried forward. What amazed me was no one in committees or leadership was against this motion.
The main purpose for this building is to start churches. It has been over three years since we have started a church. The building will be large enough to grow a church that can thrive when it leaves the facility. The vision can be shared by all the churches who want to participate.
Allow me to share some of the ways you can be involved in this partnership.
There will be a need for volunteer labor to do part of the inside work under the direction of Baptist Men's Ministries. This will help keep the cost down and allow people to share in this vision. The beginning stage, which is the dirt work, has already been donated. There will be men and women who will continue this labor of sharing their talents and abilities.
There is participation in giving. You can be part of the Faith Building 5K2 Plan. Our director has pledged 5,000.00 to the new wing over a two year span. Some have already accepted this challenge, and we have $50,000 so far. I would like to challenge you as a church, or a group of churches, groups such as WMU, Baptist Men, Choirs, Sunday School Classes and individuals to join this faith challenge. This will allow people to give according to the blessing of God. This gift amount can be from $5,000.00 individually to $25.00 as a member of a group. The plan is to give $5,000.00 over a two year span.
At the groundbreaking ceremony, I challenged those who have accepted this faith challenge to believe with me that we could pay the note off when we finish the building. So I am asking you, will you believe with me?
There is another way of sharing in this vision. Would your church include this in your church bulletin as a prayer request? Maybe the Pastors could lead the church in praying for this vision and the future church starts. The request could be labeled as "UBA Building/Church Start." Let's trust our Lord and tell our people and join together in this vision.
We would be glad to come to your church and share this vision if the Pastors invite us.

Hastings is a city in and the county seat of Adams County, Nebraska, United States.[5] It is the principal city of the Hastings, Nebraska Micropolitan Statistical Area, which consists of Adams and Clay counties. The population was 24,907 at the 2010 census. It is known as the town where Kool-Aid was invented by Edwin Perkins in 1927, and celebrates that event with the Kool-Aid Days festival every August.[6] Hastings is also known for Fisher Fountain, and during World War II operated the largest Naval Ammunition Depot in the United States. A National Weather Service Forecast Office is located there, serving central and south-central Nebraska and six counties in north-central Kansas. On June 24, 2007, Hastings won Yahoo's Greenest City in America competition.[7]
Hastings was founded in 1872 at the intersection of the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad and the St. Joseph and Denver City Railroad. It was named for Colonel D. T. Hastings of the St. Joseph and Grand Island Railroad, who was instrumental in building the railroad through Adams County.[8][9][10] The area was previously open plain: the Donner party passed through on its way to California in 1846 and a pioneer cemetery marker in Hastings bears an inscription taken from Tamsen Donner's journal: "The country between the Blue and the Platte is beautiful beyond compare. Never have I seen so varied a country so suitable to cultivation."[11] In the 1870s, railroads lured European immigrants to the new state of Nebraska with advertisements. Hastings' first settlers were English, from Liverpool, and were quickly joined by other English, Irish, Germans, Danes, and Germans from Russia.[12]
Between 1872 and 1880, when the population had grown to 2,800, Hastings was a boomtown. Settlers first built sod houses, dugouts, and shanties, then houses and stores. The city was incorporated in April 1874, and in September 1878, after a five-year Great County Seat War, the county seat was transferred to Hastings from Juniata.[13] However, a fire in 1879 destroyed 33 buildings downtown. The city was rebuilt between 1880 and 1890 in fireproof materials and in a more planned fashion, with characteristically ornate Victorian buildings, many designed by Charles C. Rittenhouse, the first practicing architect in Adams County and also mayor for ten years.[14] Thanks to the railroads, the city enjoyed great prosperity during the Gilded Age. The population grew to 13,500.[15] This period of expansion ended with the drought and agricultural depression of the 1890s; the town's population fell to 7,000 and would not reach 15,000 until 1930.[citation needed]
Hastings saw renewed growth from 1900 to 1930, which is reflected by buildings in the Craftsman, Prairie, Colonial Revival, and American Foursquare styles. The leading Arts and Crafts architect was Claude W. Way.[14] Hastings had four brickyards and in 1911 was producing more bricks than any other city in Nebraska,[16] and all the paving bricks.[17] During this period, the city also became known as the cigar-making capital of Nebraska. The largest cigar factory, the Kipp Cigar Company, was by 1921 hand-rolling one-fifth of all cigars produced in Nebraska; in 1925 it produced half, a total of 10 million.[18][19] Cigars lost their popularity to cigarettes between the two World Wars, and in the 1930s the Great Depression again brought the town's expansion to a halt.[citation needed]
In 1942, the Naval Ammunition Depot was constructed, initiating explosive growth: Hastings' population grew from 15,000 to 23,000 in under a year and there was a critical shortage of housing, which prompted both alteration of existing housing stock and rapid construction of new neighborhoods.[20] Once World War II ended, staff was reduced at the ammunition depot, bringing Hastings' last growth period to an end in 1950, and the depot eventually closed.[citation needed]
Today, Heartwell Park and Central Hastings, two of the oldest neighborhoods, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[21] The Hastings Symphony Orchestra performs in the Chautauqua Pavilion, built in 1907 and on the National Register of Historic Places, while the Hastings Community Theatre performs in the auditorium of the former Spencer Park School, built during the housing shortage of the 1940s. The city has adapted several of its historic buildings to new uses. Central Community College is housed in buildings of the former Naval Ammunition Depot. Lincoln Elementary School, built in 1912, is now the police headquarters. The Clarke Hotel, built in 1914 and also on the National Register of Historic Places, is now the Kensington, a home for senior citizens.[22] Spencer Park, an 840-unit "village" built to house workers in the 1940s, is now Good Samaritan Retirement Village.[17]
Hastings is located at 40°35′21″N 98°23′30″W / 40.58917°N 98.39167°W (40.589293, -98.391689).[23] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 13.66 square miles (35.38 km2), of which, 13.48 square miles (34.91 km2) is land and 0.18 square miles (0.47 km2) is water.[1]

The Jacob Fisher Rainbow Fountain in Highland Park, Hastings, is the largest water fountain between Chicago and Denver.[citation needed] The fountain shoots continuously changing arrays of water jets (reaching heights of 67 feet) while green, yellow, orange, red, magenta, and blue lights illuminate the water in varying patterns.
Fisher Fountain was originally a temporary exhibit at the 1932 Adams County Fair, called the Electric Fountain. It was invented by Edward R. Howard and became a symbol of hope during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl. Because of its popularity, it was moved to the park and made permanent. A competition among schoolchildren to rename it resulted in two winning names that were combined: Rainbow Fountain, and Fisher Fountain after Mayor Jacob Fisher.[26]
Fisher Fountain was renovated in 1982 but was then dynamited by vandals in 1984. Its destruction aroused a strong community response. $63,000 was raised to rebuild it, and it was rededicated on Mother's Day in 1985.[27]
The Hastings Museum of Natural and Cultural History is in an art deco building funded by $75,000 from the Works Progress Administration and completed in 1939.

The Naval Ammunition Depot, constructed on 49,000 acres (200 km2) southeast of Hastings and in operation from 1942 to 1946, was the largest United States World War II naval munitions plant, emcompassing over 2,200 structures valued at $71 million. In 1945 it employed 6,692 civilians in addition to 125 officers and 1,800 enlistees.[31] It was reactivated in the Korean War but decommissioned between 1958 and 1966, and the site now houses a US Department of Agriculture research station, training facilities for the National Guard and Reserves, an industrial park, Central Community College, and a golf course.
Hastings has twenty parks and recreational facilities throughout the city. The city offers recreational and leisure programs and operates the Aquacourt Water Park, the City Auditorium, Lake Hastings, Chautauqua Pavilion, Duncan Field, the Pioneer Spirit Trail, Smith Softball Complex, Brickyard Park Amphitheater, and Heartwell Lake.[32]

Throwback: Brenda Holloway-Every Little Bit Hurts
Brenda Holloway is one of the lesser known Motown alumni who many critics felt was too soulful for the label's pop-chart aims. She was Motown's first act from California when she was signed with them at eighteen years old. Holloway was was one of a few women at Motown who wrote songs although her biggest hit "Every Little Bit Hurts" was written by Ed Cobb. " Her biggest success as a songwriter came from "You've Made Me So Very Happy" co-written with her sister Patrice Holloway, Frank Wilson and Berry Gordy. There is her version of the song that came out in 1967 but the jazz rock group Blood, Sweat & Tears made the song popular in the mainstream. Holloway also has the distinction of being one of three female acts to open for the Beatles as she did for the first now legendary rock concert in 1965 at Shea Stadium in Queens, NY. The singer-songwriter retired from the music business in 1970 and returned in the '80s with a gospel album and by the end of the decade she starting performing secular music again. Several people have covered "Every Little Bit Hurts" including George Clinton, Teena Marie, Alicia Keys, The Clash and The Spencer Davis Group.

Senators want more oversight of high-risk IT projects
Government Accountability Office report
Information on the hearing
The Office of Management and Budget needs to do a better job of overseeing the federal government's multibillion-dollar investment in information technology, the chairman of a Senate subcommittee said.
GAO and the subcommittee said OMB should improve the way it identifies and oversees projects. There is no central list of projects and their problems, leaving few ways to track progress.
In fiscal 2007, federal agencies have proposed spending about $4.5 billion on IT projects that are on OMB's Management Watch List of projects at high risk of failure.
In fiscal 2007, the federal government will spend about $64 billion on IT projects ranging from e-payroll and human resources to weather satellites and defense systems. As of March, more than 300 IT projects, worth about $12 billion, were on the watch list or considered high-risk projects, according to a Government Accountability Office report released Sept. 7.
Also in March, OMB posted 263 major IT projects in the Bush administration's fiscal 2007 budget — worth about $10 billion — on its Management Watch List. The list is a means of identifying poorly planned projects based on OMB's evaluations of agencies' funding, justification for the projects or Exhibit 300s.
Karen Evans, administrator for e-government and IT at OMB, said earlier this month that that number had been reduced to 86 from 263.
OMB also reports on high-risk projects, which require special attention from the highest level of agency management and oversight authorities, such as GAO. A project can become high-risk because of exceptionally high costs, even if it is performing well. GAO found that as of March only 79 of the 226 projects listed as high-risk earned the designation with performance shortfalls. They total about $2.2 billion.
David Powner, director of IT Management Issues at GAO, said the number of projects is probably higher than GAO found because of inaccurate information from agencies.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee's Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information and International Security held a hearing Sept. 7 to ask OMB why such potentially wasteful projects are being funded and how it is ensuring the success of the projects.
Statutes require OMB to track and analyze the risks and outcomes of major capital investments in agency information systems. Agencies then must report to Congress on the net benefits of the investments.
"The idea that we have contracts that aren't performing or are over-cost tells us that some of our problems are in our contracting to begin with," said Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), subcommittee chairman.
"Without such lists, OMB is not fully exploiting the opportunity to analyze and track these projects on a governmentwide basis and not involving Congress in the oversight of these projects with risks," the report states.
GAO also said OMB does not consistently apply to all projects the criteria for spotting risky projects. Powner said GAO found projects that appeared to meet the criteria but were not identified as high risk.
Nevertheless, OMB is pushing for more transparency on agencies' part. They must begin publishing their business cases on their Web sites within two weeks of the president's budget release.
Among other recommendations, Powner suggested that OMB keep agency chief information officers on their toes by having inspectors general check random business cases for inaccuracies.
"I think it's a wonderful idea," Evans said.
Powner also said it might help if there were consequences for poorly planned projects and inaccurate business cases. "Folks would take it a bit more seriously."
Coburn said he will "ask for every IT project that they have and where they are in terms of cost overruns."
The senator also wants agencies to list IT projects by vendor so the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee's Federal Financial Management, Government Information and International Security Subcommittee can help the Office of Management and Budget oversee projects that are at-risk or on the agency's Management Watch List.
Coburn gave no date for sending the letter, which he is still drafting.
At a hearing last week, the subcommittee examined problems surrounding about 300 projects that the Government Accountability Office designated as poorly planned or poorly performing.

Baby Name Poll Results
Names vs. like Rue? vs. Ruth?
What are some names that sound like Rue? We've found Ruth, which we like, but are there others? The reason we're looking for a new name is that we've finally finalized our move to Quebec and the name Rue won't work there. We didn't change her name right away (she's just over a year now) and we will likely continue calling her Roo (because she's very bouncy, like a kangaroo), but we'd like a "proper" name for her to use in public. Ruth is nice, but also not very pronounceable in French. Do you have any ideas? Thanks a bunch!~Leigh

Re: how to handle the corrupt block in HDFS?
I have only 1-node cluster, so I am not able to verify it when replication
factor is bigger than 1. I run the fsck on a file that consists of 3 blocks, and 1 block has a corrupt replica. fsck told that the system is HEALTHY. When I restarted the DN, then the block scanner (BlockPoolSliceScanner) started and it detected a corrupted replica. Then I run fsck again on that file, and it told me that the system is CORRUPT. If you have a small (and non-production) cluster, can you restart your datandoes and run fsck again? 2013/12/11 ch huang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > thanks for reply,but if the block just has 1 corrupt replica,hdfs fsck > can not tell you which block of which file has a replica been > corrupted,fsck just useful on all of one block's replica bad > > On Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 10:01 AM, Adam Kawa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> When you identify a file with corrupt block(s), then you can locate the >> machines that stores its block by typing >> $ sudo -u hdfs hdfs fsck <path-to-file> -files -blocks -locations >> >> >> 2013/12/11 Adam Kawa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> >>> Maybe this can work for you >>> $ sudo -u hdfs hdfs fsck / -list-corruptfileblocks >>> ? >>> >>> >>> 2013/12/11 ch huang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>> >>>> thanks for reply, what i do not know is how can i locate the block >>>> which has the corrupt replica,(so i can observe how long the corrupt >>>> replica will be removed and a new health replica replace it,because i get >>>> nagios alert for three days,i do not sure if it is the same corrupt replica >>>> cause the alert ,and i do not know the interval of hdfs check corrupt >>>> replica and clean it) >>>> >>>> >>>> On Tue, Dec 10, 2013 at 6:20 PM, Vinayakumar B < >>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >>>> >>>>> Hi ch huang, >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> It may seem strange, but the fact is, >>>>> >>>>> *CorruptBlocks* through JMX means *"Number of blocks with corrupt >>>>> replicas".
