This film is worth watching for Masterson's performance alone. This drama tells the story of a couple in their late thirties/very early forties who decide to adopt a child after unsuccessful attempts of having their own. The portrayal of the adoption process and its typically attendant series of frustrations appear quite realistic. Unfortunately, another reviewer for IMDb has already given the ending away. However, when Mary Stuart Masterson's character enters the couple's life, it is very touching, and you almost wish the couple would adopt her as well as her baby (I did, anyway). Watching Masterson's character walking around the baby room that the couple decorated is worth watching the entire film, as is the ending. Kevin Dillon delivers a very nice performance, as do, as always, Glenn Close and James Woods. Bring Kleenex.
I happened upon this on television. I remember when it was released in the
theaters, but as a single man, it hadn't exactly been my cup of
Well, it's wonderful. The portrayal of the two couples is so very well
written, so believable, so realistic, so interesting. The acting is simply
superb - these actors make these people so sympathetic, so
How wonderfully written this is. There's nothing formulaic about the way
these people speak, the way they smile at each other, the small jokes they
make, how they move and interact, the awkwardnesses that arise or dissipate,
the unspoken sense of threat. Each character seems quite individual.
I can't single out any one actor - they were all just wonderful. I'm nowhere
close to this situation - yet I was very moved. One thing I loved was simply
showing how these two couples related to each other - and the different ways
they express warmth toward one another.
The only things I disliked were the excessive use of music - (the fact that
I'm not a fan of Van Morrison hurt) it felt like padding. I also thought the
ending was somewhat pat.
All in all, this is really top notch - it shows what talent can do - even
where you've no intrinsic interest in the subject.
"Immediate Family" is a look at the vicissitudes of adoption. Glenn
Close and James Woods play Linda and Michael Spector, a middle-aged
couple who have never been able to have children. They meet with a
younger, economically strapped couple to discuss adopting from them,
but further complications ensue.
I will admit that this isn't the ultimate masterpiece, but it's the
sort of movie that people should see before they adopt, just to
understand the issues. Equally as good as Close and Woods are Mary
Stuart Masterson and Kevin Dillon, as the young couple having the baby
but having doubts about giving it up. A pretty interesting movie.
Immediate Family is a heartwarming tale about four people who's lives are interwoven by one thing: a baby. Glenn Close stars as a frazzled woman who desperately wants to have a baby with her husband. When it becomes apparent that it can't happen, the couple looks into adoption. Through this, they meet up with a young, unmarried couple who are expecting their first child and want to give it to a nice family. The whole movie revolves around whether are not the young couple will actually go through with the adoption. Glenn Close is absolutely convincing as the very eager, very frightened "mother-to-be". For anyone who's ever loved a child, this is a must see.
...but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. The performances of each actor were exemplary...and surprising, considering James Woods' ability to play such a sleazy worm so convincingly (as in "The Onion Field" or "Against All Odds") and Glenn Close's horrifying character in "Fatal Attraction"...these are two outstanding actors, whose roles of a warm and long-married-yet-unfulfilled couple really put extra credibility in each of their bag of tricks. Masterson and Dillon are equally excellent as the working-class, clueless kids who are suddenly thrust into parenthood, seeing adoption as their only sensible option out of the situation. What I found most compelling is Michael and Linda (Woods and Close) are a couple who have it all; long-term experience in a loving marriage, excellent careers (he's a veterinarian, she's a real estate broker), a nice house near the bay, nice cars, etc...but are lacking what they really want; a child of their own. Their obvious envy of their friends' relationships with their children is played beautifully, where you can really feel the deep hurt of the "empty womb" through their expressions (the best of which is Michael's observing a young father and his son at a football game) and their discomfort of being among all the happy parents and their children (the birthday party). I found the anticipation of the arrival of Lucy (Masterson) and the ultimate arrival of the baby were very contagious, again, through the excellence of the cast. The glimpses of the younger couple's lives back in Ohio were very revealing as to their characters...again, superbly done! I also loved the understated mischief of the family dog, which, hilariously, closes the film. A warm movie, extremely enjoyable.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Mary Stuart Masterson, two years before her role in Fried Green
Tomatoes, plays Lucy, a simple teenager who has a child with her young
musician boyfriend. While pregnant she makes arrangements for the baby
to be adopted by a family that can give it a good home. That family is
Linda and Michael Spector, played by Glenn Close and James Woods,
living on the west coast.
As Lucy carries the child she becomes friends with the Spectors, and
even visits their home before the baby is born, to the point of
admiring the room they have decorated for the newborn. However, after
the delivery she has second thoughts, the normal bond between a mother
and her child, and simply leaves the hospital, with baby boy, and
travels to Ohio and her dad's home. Later when it become clear to her
that she and the young father cannot give their son a proper
upbringing, she goes back to the Spectors and gives him to them. She
leaves a letter to William (the boy) and in a voice-over as the movie
is ending, we hear her tell him why she gave him up. The Spectors stay
in touch and we see a photo she has of the boy about two years old,
with a big shaggy dog.
The movie Immediate Family is one of those rare films that never reach
public in a big way. But, the people that do see it are usually impacted
greatly on the way to handle adoption and pregnancy at an early age. The
cast:Glenn Close, James Woods, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Kevin Dillon
just the right mix to produce a movie of this genre. If you like baby
flicks, I suggest you try out this one. Yet another example of 80's
Rating:8/10 stars
"Glenn Close and James Woods are Michael and Linda Spector, a mature,
successful couple who have everything it takes to be parents
except a
baby. Mary Stuart Masterson and Kevin Dillon are Lucy and Sam, a
teenage couple who have a baby on the way
but aren't ready to be
parents. Director Jonathan Kaplan and screenwriter Barbara Benedek mix
laughter and tears in this funny, uplifting look at two very different
couples who unexpectedly find a common bond and ultimately bring out
the best in each other. Dazzling, funny performances bring a touching
humanity to this slice-of-life comedy with a big heart."
The above synopsis, trimmed of its references to Academy Awards and
cast credits, is how it appears on video sleeves from Columbia
Pictures. But, "Immediate Family" is not a "slice-of-life comedy" with
"funny performances." Perhaps they are referring to a couple of scenes
where family dog "Ellen" wrestles with Ms. Close
or, maybe it's the
abundance of bratty kids on screen. The misbehaving youngsters are
there to show viewers Close and Mr. Wood really, REALLY want a child.
Both they and the donating couple are so sweet and huggable, you just
know they will make wise decisions for little William
or Andrew...
****** Immediate Family (10/27/89) Jonathan Kaplan ~ Glenn Close, James
Woods, Mary Stuart Masterson, Kevin Dillon
This movie was an excellent follow up for actress Glenn Close, after Fatal Attraction. It is a completely different direction, and showed her range as an actress. Lucy and Michael Spector, a upper middle class Seattle couple, have been married for ten years, and long to start a family. After several failed attempts, they opt for an open adoption. Mary Stuart Masterson plays the expecting teenage mother who contacts them through the ad they placed in a out of state newspaper. What follows is an acurate and touching portrayal of four people, (including the baby's father,) who's rollercoaster emotions manage to be both funny and heartbreaking at times. I thought this movie was fantastic, engrosing from start to finish, and a must see for any fan of the actors in it! Eight stars!
As someone who went through much of what the movie portrays, I think it was beautifully written and felt true to life. I think the most wonderful thing about this movie are the subtle vignettes - like when Michael Spector is at a baseball game and sees a boy on his dad's shoulder ... everything becomes slow motion around it. And I absorbed the subtle shots of Linda dealing with everyday life and job, while going through treatments ... not many words had to be spoken to understand her sadness and stress. The insensitive doctors, friends, and the imperfections of Michael and Linda were important to understanding the layers involved. There were some touching and subtle moments between the Linda and Lucy that were great to see. Lucy's character was likable and genuine. A few years after this movie was released, I entered into an open adoption. When listing my favorite movies of all time, this one makes the list of my top ten, and I often recommend it to friends going through a similar situation.

'Bank Transfer Day' Won't Hurt Big Banks -- Why You Should Switch Banks Anyway
Note the following: Both banks are clearing the exact same set of checks and deposits. Note that the consumer ends up $80 poorer under the process used by the TBTF institutions. Also note that because the consumer friendly banks use the lowest to highest check amounts, if the deposit made in the morning had only been $150, the consumer would have only had one "insufficient fund" fee at the consumer friendly bank instead of the four fees imposed by the TBTF.
There may be many good reasons to switch. But don't do it for spite. Do it only if it makes economic sense for you, personally, and that you end up with real economic benefit.The latest news, photos and videos from the 'Occupy Wall Street' protests.

This hotel belongs to the last century and it should be renovated or re-constructed for good sake of it, despite its location at city center. That was my experience more than 10 years ago, I have no idea how it is at the time being, anyway never choose it since you have hundreds of choice for accomodation around the area.

Beh. I'm all for calling candidates out on their shit, but this video's all fluff and little substance. Quoting McCaine's ads and then quoting a talking head who says "THIS IS A LIE" does not equal anything.
I'm willing to believe pretty much everything this advertisement claims, but come on--you need more meat than this.
I... it's a three minute video.
Well, it SHOULD have been three hours long and full of exhaustively detailed evidence. This is a perfectly reasonable request!
I'm taking off a star because it does once or twice make a weak case, and doesn't highlight some of his more damning and galling lies. Also its not done in a succinct or entertaining enough fashion to catch on.
Still, stars of Evil for YouTube and The View having better fact-checkers than CNN.
The talking heads don't make the ads lies. John McCain's habit of lying make his ads lies.
John McCain: protector of child molestors. I'm sure he'd think that's an unfair way to look at it, but then again I would've thought preventing child molestation was something no politician could take issue with.
McCain did at least say one truthful thing in this video: he has indeed made a lot of people angry.
It's a half-truth, though. He's also made a lot of people disgusted.
Uh, Obama has been relentlessly refuting McCain's ads, but it is lost in the flurry of news. If Obama is spending all of his time in the defensive, it doesn't look good, which is part of the strategy of fake ads. If McCain is on message, and Obama is just talking about how he doesn't want to teach four year olds about condoms, it's free points for McCain.
Obama's ads are going to get meaner and meaner as well, and who cares.
Billy Buttsex
I see you've all forgotten about the time Obama claimed that "McCain is so out of touch that he doesn't even know how to use a computer" after claiming he wouldn't go negative because he's a man of "hope."
Nobody felt like mentioning that McCain can't use the computer because he can't lift his arms to do it without pain, because of having them pulled out of socket numerous times by gooks? Kind of a low blow from Obama, if you ask me.
oh thats right he was a POW , we should vote for him out of pity
Plenty of people can use computers without arms, similarly to how Billy here uses one even through he lacks a brain.
Modern Angel
"Nobody felt like mentioning that McCain can't use the computer because he can't lift his arms to do it without pain, because of having them pulled out of socket numerous times by gooks?"
I think you went maybe a bridge too far with this trolling thing there.
Yeah, you can't be stupid enough to believe that rumor and still type in coherent sentences.
Got to go a bit more believable in order to get the outrage flowing. Or just spell worse.
Hay Belly
Oh well, guess he can't be president then! Have to lift your arms to swear in. Too bad so sad.
Way to steal Karl Rove's talking point there. I mean you're not even trying anymore, that's what's sad.
So, if he can't lift his arms high enough to use a computer, that means he can't lift them high enough to write with a pen, either. Are we to elect a president that lacks even the physical capacity to sign a bill into law?
I agree with the others, you're usually a much more proficient troll but I think you pushed it a tad far this time. It's too late to go Cena_Mark now.
John McCain will sign all bills with his massive, American, pendulating dick. His arms will remain at their side. At AMERICA'S side.
I miss the old Billy Buttsex. Where'd that guy go?
POW + running for office = OMG WAR HERO

Keefu: I heard chet banned that guy, but it didn't stick, so he was reborn as a characature of himself. Except a characature of what was a characature of a characature is such an exagerated picture, you can't tell who it's supposed to actually BE at that point.
It's like, I see mindless bigotry, racism, ignorance, and a hatred for everything America stands for, but I just don't see any actual PERSONALITY backing it up. It's just a faceless, angry, easily duplicated block of text; how am I supposed to care what it says when the guy doesn't even put effort into it anymore?
For fucks sake, I'VE trolled better.
Update: Following these comments Billy Buttsex has been banned, AGAIN!!!
I'll miss you, guy! The original you, at least!
You were the token conservative guy, but in like, a fun way for quite a good while there! I mean, even after you trolled, we could all end up enjoying terrible kung fu movies or something together.
But then you started to become a jerk and a shadow of your former trolly troll self. Jerk.

What are some examples of chemical properties?
16 Answers | Add Yours
Chemical Properties are internal properties which are not displayed peripherally..For example, Ability to combine with other substances, acidity or basicity of a substance etc..I think this link will be more useful to you..http://www.examville.com/populateListsForSubCategory.html?categoryId=2Try it out..
Chemiscal properties determine what kind of chemical changes will take place. For Example, Group 1 & 2 Earth Metals are VERY reactive and Group 18 Inert Gases are UNreactive. Metals react with acids.
Each element has chemical properties based on its atomic structure that determine how it will undergo chemical change as it reacts with other elements.
Chemical Change occures when a new substance is formed.
Chemical properties are when a new substance appears and it is not about just changing phases (e.g, H2O is not changing its formula even though it's passing through phases like solid, liquid, and gas).
So, melting/boiling points are just physical properties.
Examples of chemical properties: solubility, polarization, acidity,
degree of iionization.
here are some example of chemical change:
- toasting of bread
- mixing chemicals
- rotten of fruit
- cooking rice
- explosion of fireworks
- tarnishing silver
- lighting a match
- burning gas in a stove
- rusting nail
- oxidizing food for energy
what she said ^
Chemical properties are those properties which depend on the chemical nature of the substance not on the phrases and structure of the substance. It remains the same even though it changes it forms.
some of them are
1. Enthaply : the internal energy
2. heat of combustion: the energy released when it is combusted.
3.oxidation state : the number of its valanced electron
4. co-ordination number: number of bond formed.
5. reactivity
Examples of chemical properties are:
1. Metals - Non-metals
2. Ductility
3. Malleability
4. Oxidising agent - reducing agent
5. Colour
6. Odour
7. Taste
8. pH value
What he said^
reaction with
Colour, Odour, Taste, Solubility etc
Taste weird
Chemical property is a property that is associated with a chemical change. It includes changes that alter the identity of a substance. Examples of a chemical property would be reaction with oxygen, reactivity, combustivity, burning. Change of color indicates that a chemical reaction has occurred. For example burning a piece of Aluminum!
The item can only be separated through chemical methods like acid.
Some examples of Chemical Properties are Explosion, Reactivity, Oxidation and Rusting.
When you talk about chemical properties, it helps to think of it as the potential to undergo change. Oxidation is one such property / change. Iron's ability to rust when exposed to oxygen is an example of a chemical property. Petroleum's ability to undergo combustion is another example of a chemical property.

After Cyprus Bailout, a Run on ATMs
News of the levy came as a shock to most people following strict assurances from Cyprus' President Nicos Anastasiades that he would not accept a deal which required depositors to share in the losses.
Cypriot and European officials feared that forcing depositors take a hit would undermine investors' confidence in Cyprus and other weaker eurozone economies and even possibly lead to bank runs.
Spain's economic ministry said Saturday that the Cyprus deal would not set a pattern for other countries.
"This is a specific agreement for Cyprus, with its complex situation and an oversized banking sector, which represents 80% of GDP, well above any other country in using the euro," a ministry statement said. "Because of this, Cyprus' situation and this agreement are not transferable to any other country in the eurozone."
Cyprus has become the fourth euro area country to get a rescue package to save its banks that took massive losses because of their exposure to toxic Greek debt. The levy stirred up a political firestorm on the tiny island of a million people, with some politicians accusing the government of leading the country to "a tragic dead end." Government spokesman Christos Stylianides said Cypriot officials had resisted intense pressure to accept a deposit levy of a whopping 40%. Bank bosses are meeting with Central Bank officials to figure out their next steps, while Anastasiades, who returns to Cyprus Saturday evening has called for a meeting of party leaders to assess the unfolding situation.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

A situation room will be used for national and international partners to monitor and investigate cases and provide information to decision makers.
- The Ministry of Health, through PAHO/WHO, distributed a form to the members of the Health Cluster to obtain information about activities their organizations are carrying out, locations where they are functioning and the date they will complete operations.
- PAHO/WHO is working with the White Helmets to deploy six logisticians and LSS/SUMA experts to support operations of the Health Cluster and in PROMESS. See below a report compiled by the LSS/SUMA team of supplies and donations received through the airport in Port-au-Prince.

The Power in Grid Computing, Numbers
The Power in Grid Computing, Numbers
Eric Lundquist
Posted 2002-07-22
I don't recall CEOs crediting the economy for their companies' successes in the late '90s.
Grid computing makes sense. The computing horsepower sitting idle most of the day on desktops and in server rooms would, if harnessed, provide all the computing cycles an enterprise needs. But its the harnessing problem that keeps the grid promise from becoming reality. In this weeks eWeek Labs section, we analyze the state of grid computing, talk to customers building grids and speculate how grids can fulfill their promise. The report begins with
Anne Chens profile of Butterfly.net
, a company that teamed with IBM to build an online gaming grid. The best guess puts grid computing as an enterprise-ready tool around 2005. That may also be the year when honest accountants have finally sorted through the cooked books of too many tech companies, when all the promised synergies of corporate mergers finally become apparent and when voice over IP finally makes its way into the enterprise. Last week was busy and crucial in the financial reporting calendar (see most of the financial results for tech companies on our
earnings roundup page
). The economy continues to be the whipping boy of company execs looking to place blame for their cruddy numbers. I dont recall CEOs crediting the economy for their companies successes in the late 90s. Anyway, this last round of numbers has reset the expectations of numerous market leaders, including:
When Sam Palmisano was named to head IBM earlier this year, the speculation was that his best management strategy would be to do nothing. If he simply stood aside and played golf while the Big Blue juggernaut moved forward, he could get continued accolades, improve his game and not have to do too much. Well, it hasnt turned out that way, and Palmisano needs to come up with a strategy for growth during a sour economic cycle.
Late last year, Tom Siebel said that he had seen the future and that bad times had already ended. Last week, Siebel gave the economy a flogging while stating he had kept about 1,500 people on the payroll beyond what the company and economy required. Siebels troubles are a good example of the physician needing to be able to heal himself before taking on new patients. Those are just two of the leaders. Lots of companies are in the process of deciding exactly what segments they want to reach and where they can focus their resources for profit. For an update on supply chain vendors trying to find where profits reside in that chain, see
"Large Supply Chain Vendors Scaling Back."
Whatll it take for grid computing to become a reality? Write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

SOEI Announces SONWA Winner
May 7, 2014
ASHLAND, Wis. — The Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute at Northland College announced today that Robin Wall Kimmerer's "Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants" is the winner of its 2014 nature writing award.
Kimmerer will receive a $1,000 cash prize and an invitation to visit Northland College next fall for an award ceremony and reading. Kimmerer spoke on campus in March as part of Indigenous Cultures Awareness Month at Northland College.
Established in 1991, the Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award recognizes remarkable environmental adult literature that captures the spirit of the human relationship with the natural world, and promotes Olson's values, said Lissa Radke, who sits on the selection committee.
Chosen from 51 nominations, "The SONWA committee chose 'Braiding Sweetgrass' because of its skillful weaving of very different fields of knowledge: indigenous teachings that consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers and extensive scientific research about botany and ecology," she said.
"We've not read a book that brought together these diverse discoveries in such a lyrical and almost spiritual way," Radke said.
Kimmerer lives in Fabius, New York, where she is a mother, scientist, enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, a SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of environmental biology and the founder and director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment.
Published by Milkweed Press in 2013, "Braiding Sweetgrass" takes readers "on a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise," writes Elizabeth Gilbert, author of "Eat, Pray, Love."
Her first book, "Gathering Moss," was awarded the prestigious John Burroughs Medal in 2005 for outstanding nature writing. Sigurd Olson was a recipient of the same award in 1974 for his book, "Wilderness Days."
The SONWA selection committee also noted two finalists: "The Once and Future World: Nature As It Was, As It Is, As It Could Be," by J.B. MacKinnon and "The End of Night: Searching for Natural Darkness in an Age of Artificial Light," by former Northland College instructor Paul Bogard.
"This is the first year the SONWA committee has named finalists, and it's because the top three books were all so good," Radke said.

Build/Review: HeliArtist 450 Size UH-1 Huey Fuselage
Welcome to my build and review of the HeliArtist 450 H1 fiberglass fuselage. In this thread, I will show how to assemble this semi scale UH-1 Huey class fuselage, onto a 450 class helicopter. While many modifications can be made, to make this kit look like the full scale version, I will only demonstrate how to complete the stock assembly. What's in the Box: *Fiber Glass scale fuselage x 1 *Tinted Pellucid windows x 3 *Horizontal stabilizer x 2 *Upper Tail Assembly Set x 1 *Belt x 1 *Landing Gear Set x 1 Pack *Frame Stand Wood x 1 Pack *Screw Pack x 1 Tinted windows: Horizontal stabilizer fins: Elevated Tail conversion assembly: Landing Gear: Wood spacers and Screw Pack: Assembly Manual Note: Disregard second sentence, step 7. The short tail boom tube is included with the elevated tail assembly. Helicopter Mechanics HK-450 Helicopter kit Fun House Heli Gold anodized Metal Main Rotor Head assembly HXT900 9G servos x 4 Turnigy 2836 Brushless 3700kv Motor Turnigy Plush 40A ESC JR G7703D Gyro Landing Gear Assembly The H-1 fuselage is recessed and pre-drilled for the landing gear struts. The base of the H-1 fuselage has four wooden blocks. The landing gear struts can be secured to the fuselage with the included self tap screws. Note: Vibrations and rough landing may strip and loosen the self tap screws from the fuselage base wood blocks. Loose landing gear may cause violent resonance vibrations which will lead to self destruction of the helicopter! Recommended Method Use nuts, bolts, washers and thread lock to secure the landing gear struts to the H-1 fuselage. The skids and "T" connector can be assembled using CA, Epoxy or hardware. Recommended Method Drill a 2mm hole and use the self tap screws to secure the struts and skids to the "T" connector. Elevated Tail Conversion Install For the H-1 elevated tail conversion install, shortening the helicopter's tail boom will be required. Note: The first release UH-1 and BO-105 kits have a plastic smooth guide pulley, riding the belt teeth. It has been discovered that the plastic guide pulley will become rapidly worn and fail, which could result in tail rotor failure! Please see post for DIY modification: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1165117 The manual states cutting to a length of 30.8cm. I found that I needed to cut the tail boom to 30.5cm, so that the belt could be installed on the pinion. Once the tail boom has been shortened, be sure to sand and smooth the cut edges. Discard the cut off remnant. Attach the tail rotor assembly to the short tube of the elevated tail assembly. Install the elevated tail rotor assembly onto the tail boom, and attach the belt to the tail rotor drive pinion. Verify that the tail rotor is rotating in the proper direction. Verify that there is enough slack to adjust belt tension. Verify that there is no binding. Mount the rudder servo, and dry fit the heli into the fuselage to determine if the tail boom servo mount will fit. First partially disassemble the elevated tail rotor. Note: I found that my rudder servo could not fit and function while mounted on the tail boom. I mounted the rudder servo to the heli frame with double sided tape and a cable tie. After the location of the tail rudder has been determined, reassemble the tail rotor, set up the mechanics, electronics and test fly the helicopter mechanics before final assembly into the fuselage. Note: During test flights, I determined that the stock tail rudder servo rod was too stiff. This caused the tail to wag in flight. Recommended Method: Use Sullivan's Gold-n-Rod #515 semi-flex cable. The cable will allow you to place the rudder servo in any location that you choose, making it possible to access and adjust the servo while the helicopter is inside the fuselage. Recommended Method: Apply thread lock to all of the elevated tail assembly nuts and bolts! Heli to Fuselage Mounting Brackets Included in the kit are a set of long and short wood spacers. These make up the mounting bracket that is used to secure the helicopter to the fuselage. The long spacers have a hole drilled on each end, for secure the heli to the fuselage with the included nuts, washer and bolts. The short spacers are used to secure the mounting bracket to the helicopter. Glue together one short and one long spacer to fabricate the mounting brackets that will be installed onto the heli frame front and rear landing gear mounts. Using a washer and self tap screw attach the wood brackets to the heli frame. Note: Due to the curvature of the fuselage, the center of the rear mounting bracket will not make contact with the fuselage floor. glue a second short spacer onto the rear bracket. The heli can now be mounted to the fuselage with the included hardware. To make installation more secure and a little easier, I added 4-40 Blind Nuts to the mounting bracket. Dry Fit & Adjustments Installing the mechanics and disassembly, a few times should be done to make sure there are no mechanical obstructions. Final Assembly Insert the heli into the fuselage and reassemble the tail rotor assembly. 1. Position the helicopter and drill holes for the front mounting bracket. 2. Install and secure the hardware onto the front mounting bracket. 3. Using a 2mm self tap screw, access the rear bracket hole and tap a drill hole for the rear bracket. 4. From the bottom of the fuselage, where the rear hole was tapped, drill a larger hole for the mounting hardware. 5. Install and secure the hardware onto the rear mounting bracket. Attach the elevated tail rotor cover, drill holes, and install the 2mm self tap screws. Trim the roof and floor windows. Install windows using rubber cement or double sided tape. Flight Test & Final Notes:
The HeliArtist H1 semi-scale fuselage is easily recognized as the popular UH-1 Huey. This kit is fairly easy to assemble, and should be a good choice for beginners wanting to get into scale. For the advanced scale hobbyist, although this kit is semi-scale, you'll enjoy turning this model into your personal masterpiece. The H1 is a joy to fly, and invokes the thought of the music Ride Of the Valkyries from the film Apocalypse Now. It is sure to draw attention from onlookers at the park or flying field. Update 12/9/2011 I now use and recommend the TREX 500 ball link connector, that can be used with the standard ball link, and does not require you to modify the servo arm. Also, I no longer use the Sullivan Cable (yellow sleeve). I use the Sullivan Precision Rod. It works a lot better than the cable, and is easier to install, using TREX 500 ball links.

I don't want to hijack the thread, I'm very interested in the UH-1 body for the TRex, my friends have offered to build me a body if I switch to the Mini-Titan, but I am too much of a die hard Trex 450 fan to do that. |

Publisher Synopsis
"Following Joseph Conte's pioneering work on serial forms in postmodern poetry, Huntsperger reads procedural poetry--works that William James might have recognized as 'a fine new kind of realism'--not only for evidence of individual acts of extraordinary literary labor, but for clues to the general conditions of economic production in post-war America. All cultural artifacts, from the most recondite avant-garde arcana to the most popular and spectacular corporate entertainments, evince the historical (political, social) pressures that deform them, but the avant-garde, "Procedural Form" shows us, can also display the possibilities for a studied resistance to such pressures."--Craig Dworkin, Professor, University of Utah"Examining poetry by Ted Berrigan, David Antin, Ron Silliman, and Lyn Hejinian, David Huntsperger demonstrates how the various procedural forms they employ reveal the labor that goes into the making of the poetry. This matters because it allows Huntsperger to advance a Marxian reading that counters Fredric Jameson's famous dismissal of postmodern poetry as schizophrenic, presenting it instead as a compelling and rewarding form of social critique."--Stephen Fredman, author of "Contextual Practice: Assemblage and the Erotic in Postwar Poetry and Art""Huntsperger is a congenial and expert guide to the intricacies of 'procedural form, ' arguing convincingly for the powers of political critique that poetry may still command."--Peter Nicholls, New York University Read more...

Wong: BEA Still Has Vision
Wong: BEA Still Has Vision
Posted 2004-09-17
In an interview with eWEEK, Wai Wong, BEA's newly appointed executive vice president, discusses the company's image as well as its future.
BEA Systems Inc.s new executive vice president of products, Wai Wong, claims BEA is not down and certainly not out despite
losing a host of executive and technical talent
. In an interview with eWEEK Senior Editor Darryl K. Taft, Wong explained that his goal is to help the San Jose, Calif.-based company stay the course set by its bygone visionaries as well as to help set the companys compass toward greater innovation. Wong comes to BEA from Computer Associates International Inc., where he led that companys Unicenter business unit.

to read more about Wongs role at BEA.
I want to kind of start from the beginning and get your sense of BEAs image given all the recent defections.
Well, I can only speak personally. But if you look at the organization, there are several very talented people here. And while all that was happening I feel that the fundamentals havent changed. And the folks that left they had a great vision and great influence inside BEA, but a lot of things that theyve done are to the point where theyre going to be productized and brought out in upcoming releases of the technology. So given that the fundamentals havent changed, I personally feel that things are still going strong.
Some people say that the vision of BEA is gone and now youre into the phase of just turning out the products that implement that vision.
I think if you look at Mark Carges, who is the [chief technology officer], Mark is one of the creators of Tuxedo. He was part of the portal group, which is a leading product for BEA right now. So I dont think that BEA lacks vision so much. I dont subscribe to that belief. I think that Mark and I will be a great team in making sure that we enable innovation and continue to execute. And dont forget, Alfred [Chuang, CEO of BEA] as the founder is a visionary, and hes still very much the leader here.
What about the progress on some of the projects that were recently announced like Alchemy and the Liquid Computing strategy?
That is still moving forward. Alchemy, actually, you look at what Adam [Bosworth, who
went to Google Inc.
in late July,] did with Alchemy. He kind of reached out in a research way into an occasionally connected paradigm, and I believe that that paradigm will come true. At the moment the work that hes done is being productized and being taken over by a product group as a basic tenet of the infrastructure. So Im going through discovery on a lot of things. Ive been here eight days, five business days, but as far as I can tell everything is moving along. And the things I can add value to are some of the manageability initiatives about the platform and about security, thats absolutely my domain.
What kind of challenge do you see for yourself here in your new role?
I think the No. 1 challenge I have is continuing to encourage innovation, to take execution to the next level and optimize some of the processes and make sure our deliverables have the best quality possible and are timely to the marketplace. I think thats a continuing challenge. So my challenge is to take it up a notch.

Pathological features and prognosis of different molecular subtypes of breast cancer.
Department of General Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin, Heilongjiang 150001, PR China.
Molecular Medicine Reports (Impact Factor: 1.48). 07/2012; 6(4):779-82. DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2012.981 Source: PubMed
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Patients with estrogen-independent (ER(neg)) human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2)-positive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) treated with lumpectomy alone or lumpectomy and radiation are at increased risk of developing subsequent breast cancer events. Thirty-eight patients with HER-2 expressing DCIS received a HER-2 pulsed autologous dendritic cell (DC1) vaccine administered over 4-6 weeks before surgical resection. HER-2 and estrogen receptor (ER) expression were determined by immunohistochemistry. In 35 patients, CD4(pos) T-cell sensitization to HER-2 peptides was identified by ELISPOT. In 19 patients, CD8(pos) T-cell responses were identified by ELISA. Clinical and immune responses postvaccination were compared between intermediate-expressing HER-2 (2+) and high-expressing HER-2 (3+) patients, as well as ER(neg) and estrogen-dependent (ER(pos)) patients. There was no significant difference in immune response after HER-2 vaccination in patients with HER-2 (2+) and (3+) tumors or ER(neg) and ER(pos) tumors. Complete tumor regression rates were similar in patients with HER-2 (2+) and (3+) DCIS. Overall, clinical response rates were similar in patients with ER(neg) and ER(pos) DCIS, but complete tumor regression was significantly more common in patients with ER(neg) DCIS. Despite equivalent immune responses after vaccination in patients with HER-2 (2+), HER-2 (3+), ER(neg) and ER(pos) DCIS, HER-2 pulsed DC1 induces more complete responses in patients with ER(neg) DCIS. These data provide a rationale for developing vaccinations to reduce recurrence in patients with ER(neg) DCIS for whom there are currently limited adjuvant options.Annals of Surgical Oncology 07/2013; · 3.94 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of the current study was to investigate the expression of the proliferation antigen, Ki67, in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and its correlation with clinicopathological factors. The expression of Ki67 and other biological indicators in 24 cases of TNBC tissues and 178 cases of non-TNBC tissues were detected using immunohistochemistry. Their correlation with the clinicopathological factors were also analyzed using the χ(2) test. The positive rate of Ki67 expression in TNBC tissues was 83.3%, exhibiting a statistically significant difference when compared with that in non-TNBC tissues (73.0%) (P<0.05). The expression of Ki67 in breast cancer tissue significantly correlated with the tumor size and lymph node metastases; however, no correlation was observed with the age and the clinical stage. Ki67 may be an indicator of poor prognosis in TNBC patients.Oncology letters 01/2015; 9(1):149-152. · 0.99 Impact Factor
