It's no secret that hip-hop has been known to get pretty live at times and although Earth-rattling bass and in-your-face lyricism is always welcomed sometimes it's the subtler songs that are the real standouts. Take for instance Maryland rhymesayer Uno Hype's latest Booth feature The Kickback, an immensely smooth effort that doesn't have to do much to get your attention. Even more impressive is the fact that Hype is merely 18-years-old and already knows that you don't need all the bells and whistles to make a solid single. Serving as a "thank you release" in honor of Hype's last music video nearing the 25k view mark, The Kickback features guest bars from fellow East Coast representer and Cinematic emcee Smoke DZA. Together the two emcees take on Jay Card's slightly horn-tinged production, swapping rhymes about everything from repping their hood to keeping it real musically. Although The Kickback isn't attached to any project from Uno Hype, his FXCK THE HYPE EP is available for free stream and download.

Theory- Hypercarries would be really bad/hard to balance on a map where you did not have to lane as much for gold. The characters balanced by a weaker early lane phase and a VERY strong mid-endgame had to get changed in order to be balanced on Dominion. You remade Kayle, Result- No longer hyper carries, has a slightly better early game and a much worse endgame. You remade Tryndamere- Result kind of hyper carries but worse then before. The fact that he will have to build up his fury meter will help balance his hypercarryness. The only hypercarry left in the game is Jax. Weak in lane early, exceptional 1v1er or small skirmish fighter once he has a couple of items. Either he is going to be very strong in this environment or he will be changed. I guess he could be balanced by items....no ninja tabi would really hurt him. I am curious if they exist on the Dominion map. Or dodge at all. Shut down laners (The opposite of a hypercarry, strong early mid, falls off late,leblanc/rumble) will be weaker on this map although they generally have good mobility so they might do ok. I am worried that although devs have stated they are not changing the game based on dominion that it actually has been going on for a while now. I am curious if things will change because certain groups of champs are found to be overpowered or not.
Dominion was not the reason for any specific champion reworks. Riot just felt those champions were a problem in some way, shape, or form in Summoner's Rift. With or without Dominion, Riot feels hypercarries had problems because they weak early games suck and OP late games are OP (duh). The end.
the hell is a hypercarry? do you mean hardcarry? excuse me if I'm wrong, I've never heard the term.
Features Designer
Hypercarries are not fun to fight against, which is why we've been changing them.
Ya how dare they change those champions that by the 40min mark can start soloing the entire team!! I see the changes as something that were necessary well before Dominion.
It would be great if certain ranged carries (ashe) were nerfed as well. She has to be one of the few global abilities left, and, she scales well into late game. Also, perma-slow, has lot of utility (hawkshot, etc), and free gold passive (on hawkshot no less). AoE slow with low mana cost and low cooldown probably helps too. If you want to know why tanky-DpS melee champions have to have so many free stats: look at Ashe.
Junior Member
Yeah, the hypercarries were just bad design overall. And they have to be way too binary and "feed or get fed, no middle ground" to be balanced. Kayle was, Trynd was (still is a little but not ridiculous). I still think Olaf and Veigar are too, and they're both being looked at I'm pretty sure. And Katarina to a lesser extent, but still problematic.

Governing the Tongue: The Politics of Speech in Early New England
Colonial New Englanders would have found our modern notions of free speech very strange indeed. Children today shrug off harsh words by chanting "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me," but in the seventeenth century people felt differently. "A soft tongue breaketh the bone," they often said. Governing the Tongue explains why the spoken word assumed such importance in the culture of early New England. Author Jane Kamensky re-examines such famous Puritan events as the Salem witch trials and the banishment of Anne Hutchinson to expose the ever-present fear of what the puritans called "sins of the tongue." But even while dangerous or deviant speech was restricted, Kamensky points out, godly speech was continuously praised and promoted. Congregations were told that one should ones voice "like a trumpet" to God and "cry out and cease not." By placing speech at the heart of familiar stories of Puritan New England, Kamensky develops new ideas about the relationship between speech and power both in Puritan New England and, by extension, in our world today.

Teachers' Production Quality Products by Qualified Teachers! |
Zenda Leu Zenda, mother of two, taught at Fairfield Methodist Primary School for 11 years and did a short stint at the Singapore American School before giving up full-time teaching. As author and illustrator for Teachers' Production, she found a way to simultaneously work from home and care for her family. Thus far, her fun and yet challenging exercises peppered with catchy illustrations have been well-received. More than 100 local schools and others from Shanghai, Suzhou, Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia have incorporated her materials into their curriculum. Since the inception of Teachers' Production in 1998, Zenda, a Mensa member, has been invited to conduct workshops for parents and teachers, been interviewed on radio, magazines and newspapers. She has also produced supplementary materials for CDAC and SINDA. She also co-wrote the P3 Celebrate English , workbooks and Teachers' Guide. It is her sincere hope that all students will benefit from her work. Fast Forward To The Present... More than a decade after she first started Teachers' Production, Zenda's children have grown up. Her daughter graduated with honours in English and Creative Writing from Royal Holloway, University of London and is also qualified to teach English. She is conversant in Japanese, having studied the language and culture in Kyoto on a university scholarship. Her son is reading Biology with Management at Imperial College London on a government scholarship. Zenda is grateful for having had the opportunity to work from home and watch her children develop into sensible young adults. Zenda would also like to take this time to honour her husband, Jit Sheng, the unsung hero behind Teachers' Production, for 31 years of friendship, 26 years of marriage and 14 years of business partnership. Jit Sheng was a "behind the scenes" man, who had a hand in everything, from formatting the books produced by Teachers' Production to managing the accounting to driving the delivery van. Despite battling illness for seven long years, Jit Sheng remained cheerful, witty and unassuming. He was many things — IT expert, pillar of strength, wise advisor, and above all a devoted husband and father. Indeed he was always quietly and sacrificially supportive of Zenda and the children, never claiming any of the glory for himself. His eventual death on 30 November 2011 came as a great loss to Zenda and the children. He will be forever remembered and cherished. On behalf of Jit Sheng and their children, Zenda would like to express her gratitude to all who have touched their lives in one way or another. May the good Lord bless you as much as you have been a blessing to them. To God be the glory! |

Planned Giving: Charitable Gift Annuities
A gift annuity is an agreement where a donor transfers assets in the form of cash or appreciated securities to the charity in exchange for a fixed, lifetime annual income. Some of this income is tax-free for a period of years and can be paid monthly, quarterly or annually, depending upon the needs of the donor. A gift annuity can also be set up to provide for a spouse or beneficiary. There are income tax and capital gains benefits, a charitable deduction (can be spread out over 5 years, 3 years for non-cash assets), and a possible reduction in probate costs and estate taxes.
The rate of return is based on the donor's age at the time of the gift, and the fact that if the income will be spread over more than one life, the rate will be lower. The sample gift rates below are for a one-life gift annuity.
Age | Rate | Age | Rate | |
65 | 7.0 | 80 | 9.2 | |
70 | 7.5 | 85 | 10.5 | |
75 | 8.2 | 90 | 12.0 |
The minimum gift in this situation is $2,000, and you can choose either the American Baptist Churches or the United Church Foundation to manage your gift, with some or all of the remainder benefiting Andover Newton.
If you establish a planned gift to benefit Andover Newton, you will be invited to become a member of our Heritage Society. An Honor Roll of Heritage Society Members is published in our Annual Report. You can choose whether or not you want your name to appear on the Honor Roll. There is also an annual reception for Heritage Society Members in the fall.

Here are some pictures of the 42" Slick. You will also notice that there is a different color motor in there right now. I have been doing a little bit of testing on a new Omega motor for Ben. This motor is a 72 gram motor and will be priced really well. So far its working really well. I put this motor on a 12x6 prop and hooked it up to a 3dhobbyshop 3s 2200 pack and here are the results. The motor was making 350 watts at 30-35 amps. The pack is an older pack that was flown a bunch at SEFF and a bunch this summer. I think i could go down to a 11x5.5 and get a little less performance but it still will be really good. I went out tonight and put a flight on the plane and it seemed to be really nicely setup even though it was 25 outside. NOTE: This model has been changed to check a few things on the aircraft. For example this airplane has the rudder servo in the tail. I did this to check and see how it would work out back there. The rudder Pull pull setup will be right where the receiver sits. I also hogged out the motorbox to see what really could be gotten away with. |
Feb 28, 2009, 09:47 PM | |
This plane did balance with the servo in the tail. I think we are going to have the option in there but most will run pull pull. With the rudder in the tail the battery sits about 3/4 of the way under the motorbox.
DG, Your correct, I was messing with SFG's to see how they would work but I found that they make little difference. I'm really looking forward to going out tomorrow and putting a few more flights on the plane. I have a few lighter packs that I want to try and see how it handles it. Andrew |
Feb 28, 2009, 10:14 PM | |
AJ Thanks for the info, I just cant wait for this little thing to be avalible! Wow a 72gram motor thats putting out 350watts(now thats what Im talking about!!!!)

Nokia Lumia 1520
Nokia at CES showcased the newest member of its Lumia smartphone family: the Lumia 1520.
First introduced in India in December and now available through AT&T in the U.S., the Nokia Lumia 1520 has the same look and feel as its predecessors, the Lumia 1020 and Lumia 925, but stands apart for a couple of reasons. For starters, the Lumia 1520 is a bigger device, with a 6-inch display compared with the 4.5-inch display on the 1020 and 925. For that reason, it's also a little heavier in the hand, weighing in at 0.44 of a pound (the 1020 and 925 weigh 0.34 of a pound and 0.3 of a pound, respectively).
The Lumia 1520 is also the first phone from Nokia to launch with Lumia Black, the latest version of the Windows 8 Phone OS. Lumia Black offers up new features such as an App Folder, a new Start screen tool for grouping together similar apps and settings, and Nokia Storyteller, an app that arranges users' photos by date and place and then locates them on an interactive map, to create "stories" from their snapshots.

Donald Virgil "Don" Bluth (born September 13, 1937) is an American animator, film director, producer, writer, production designer, video game designer and independent studio owner who is known for his departure from The Walt Disney Productions in 1979 and his subsequent directing of animated films such as The Secret of NIMH (1982), An American Tail (1986), The Land Before Time (1988), All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989), and Anastasia (1997), and his involvement in the laserdisc game Dragon's Lair. He is also known for competing with Disney during the years leading up to the films that would make up the Disney Renaissance. He is the older sibling of illustrator Toby Bluth.
Bluth was born in El Paso, Texas, the son of Emaline (née Pratt) and Virgil Ronceal Bluth.[1] His great-grandfather was Helaman Pratt, an early leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is of English, Scottish and German descent.[2]
As a child in El Paso he rode his horse to the town movie theater to watch Disney films; Bluth said later, "then I'd go home and copy every Disney comic book I could find".[3] At the age of six his family moved to Payson, Utah where he lived on a family farm. In 1954 at the age of 17 his family moved to Santa Monica, California, where he attended part of his final year of high school before returning to Utah and graduating from Springville High School. Bluth attended Brigham Young University in Utah for one year and after got a job at The Walt Disney Company. He started in 1955 as an assistant to John Lounsbery for Sleeping Beauty. In 1957 Bluth left Disney only two years after being hired. Afterwards Bluth spent two and a half years in Argentina on a mission for the LDS Church. He returned to the United States where he opened the Bluth Brothers Theater with his younger brother Fred, though he occasionally worked for Disney.
Bluth returned to college and got a degree in English Literature from Brigham Young. Bluth returned to the animation business and joined Filmation in 1967 working on layouts for The Archies and other projects. He returned full-time to Disney in 1971 where he worked on Robin Hood, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too, The Rescuers and directing animation on Pete's Dragon. His last involvement with Disney was the 1978 short The Small One. Then he made and produced his first short, Banjo the Woodpile Cat (1979), which takes place in his hometown Payson, Utah during the 1940s as Banjo travels to Salt Lake City to find the urban world.
On his 42nd birthday in 1979, Bluth, with Gary Goldman, John Pomeroy, and 9 fellow Disney animators, set out to start his own animation studio, Don Bluth Productions.[4][5] He drew a few (uncredited) scenes for The Fox and the Hound but left early in production. Bluth was disheartened with the way the Disney company was run. He wanted to revive the classical animation style of the studio's early classics.[6] To this end, his studio, Don Bluth Productions, demonstrated its ability in its first production, a short film titled Banjo the Woodpile Cat, and this led to work on an animated segment of the live-action film Xanadu (1980).
The studio's first feature-length film was The Secret of NIMH (1982), an adaptation of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, the 1972 Newbery Medal winner. Bluth employed 160 animators during the production and agreed to the first profit sharing contract in the animation industry.[5] Though a moderate success in the box office, the movie received critical acclaim. Later, with the home video release and cable showings, it became a cult classic.[7] Nevertheless, due to its modest result in the box office, and an industry wide animation strike, the Don Bluth Productions filed for bankruptcy.[6]
His next film would have been an animated version of the Norwegian folk tale East of the Sun and West of the Moon, but was never made when the financial resources were drawn back.[8]
In 1983 teaming with Rick Dyer, from Advanced Microcomputer Systems, Bluth, Goldman and Pomeroy started the Bluth Group and created the groundbreaking arcade game Dragon's Lair, which let the player control a cartoon-animated character on screen (whose adventures were played off a laserdisc). This was followed in 1984 by Space Ace, a science-fiction game based on the same technology, but which gave the player a choice of different routes to take through the story. Bluth not only created the animation for Space Ace, but he also supplied the voice of the villain, Borf.[9] Work on a Dragon's Lair sequel was underway when the video arcade business crashed. Bluth's studio was left without a source of income and the Bluth Group filed for bankruptcy on March 1, 1985.[5] A sequel called Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp was made in 1991, but it was rarely seen in arcades.[10]
In 1985 Bluth, Pomeroy and Goldman established, with businessman Morris Sullivan, the Sullivan Bluth Studios. It initially operated from an animation facility in Van Nuys, California, but later moved to Dublin, Ireland to take advantage of government investment and incentives. Bluth and his colleagues taught an animation course at Ballyfermot Senior College.[11]
Teaming up with producer Steven Spielberg, Bluth's next project was An American Tail (1986), which at the time of its release became the highest grossing non-Disney animated film of all time, grossing $45 million in the United States and over $84 million worldwide.[12] The second Spielberg-Bluth collaboration The Land Before Time (1988) did even better in theaters and both found a successful life in home video.[12][13] The main character in An American Tail (Fievel Mouskewitz) became the mascot for Amblimation while The Land Before Time was followed by twelve direct-to-video sequels.
Bluth broke with Spielberg before his next film, All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989). (Bluth was not involved with the Spielberg-produced An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, released in 1991.) Although All Dogs Go To Heaven had moderate theatrical success, it was highly successful in its release to home video.[14] Like The Land Before Time, The Secret of NIMH and An American Tail, All Dogs Go to Heaven was followed by a theatrical sequel, a television series, and a Christmas Carol adaptation, none of which Bluth and his studio had involvement with. Through the 1990s, Bluth films such as Rock-a-Doodle (1992), Thumbelina (1994), A Troll in Central Park (1994), and The Pebble and the Penguin (1995) were critical and box office failures.
Bluth scored a hit with Anastasia (1997), produced at Fox Animation Studios in Phoenix, Arizona, which grossed nearly US $140 million worldwide[15] and gained favorable critical reviews. In his positive review of the movie, critic Roger Ebert observed that its creators "consciously include[d] the three key ingredients in the big Disney hits: action, romance and music." Anastasia's success established 20th Century Fox as a Disney competitor.[16]
Despite the success of Anastasia, Bluth resumed his string of box-office disappointments with the futuristic space adventure Titan A.E. (2000). The movie made less than $37 million worldwide despite an estimated $75 million budget.[17] In 2000, 20th Century Fox Studios shut down the Fox Animation Studio facility in Phoenix, making Titan A.E. the last traditionally animated film released by 20th Century Fox in theaters until the release of 2007's The Simpsons Movie.[18]
In 2002, Bluth and video game company Ubisoft developed the video game Dragon's Lair 3D: Return to the Lair, an attempt to recreate the feel of the original Dragon's Lair LaserDisc game in a more interactive, three-dimensional environment. Reviews were mixed, with critics both praising and panning the controls and storyline. However, the visuals were noteworthy, using groundbreaking cel-shading techniques that lent the game a hand-animated feel.[19] As of 2012,[20] Don Bluth and Gary Goldman are seeking funding for a film version of Dragon's Lair.[21][22]
Bluth and Goldman continued to work in video games and were hired to create the in-game cinematics for Namco's I-Ninja, released in 2003.
In 2004, Bluth did the animation for the music video "Mary", by the Scissor Sisters.[23] The band contacted Bluth after having recalled fond memories of the sequence from Xanadu.
In 2009, Bluth was asked to produce storyboards for, and to direct, the 30-minute Saudi Arabian festival film Gift of the Hoopoe. He ultimately had little say in the animation and content of the film, and asked that he not be credited as the director or producer. Nonetheless, he was credited as the director, possibly to improve the film's sales by attaching his name.[24]
On February 3, 2011, it was announced that Bluth and his game development company Square One Studios were working with Warner Bros. Digital Distribution to develop a modern reinterpretation of the 1983 arcade classic Tapper, titled Tapper World Tour.
On March 22, 2011, Anastasia was released to Blu-ray Disc. The high-charting release and an increase in sales for other Bluth-directed titles, has sparked interest for a return to his as-yet unconfirmed 12th directorial feature.[citation needed]
Bluth has authored a series of books for students of animation: 2004's The Art of Storyboard, and 2005's The Art of Animation Drawing. Additional books are planned.[citation needed]
In early 2009, Bluth launched his website, DonBluthAnimation.com, in which he focuses on animation education through video tutorials, short films and live video seminars.
Bluth currently runs an Adult and Youth Theatre in Arizona, called Don Bluth Front Row Theatre. The theatre group was unique and unusual as productions were presented in the living room of Bluth's Scottsdale, Arizona home. They now run in a small theater off Shea Blvd in Scottsdale. [25]
There have been multiple voice actors who have appeared in more than one of the films directed by Bluth.
The film developed a cult following which only increased with easy access via video and cable showings.
That failure [of Secret of NIMH] caused Aurora to back out of producing Bluth's next film, East of the Sun, West of the Moon.
This game ranks a 24 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most often seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on census ownership records.

Not much
The front desk lady's attitude with me because I. Didn't speek Spanish but iam Italian I sed she I was lieing to her and she wudent give me any toilet paper
st afff completely hostile to my complaints
The beds were so comfortable.I was able to get a great nights sleep.
The only problem was that the tub did not drain that fast so I was standing in water as I showered.
it was clean
bed was not a real queen and no blankets, covers, bedspread on beds
I liked the price is was clean and quiet
Nothing to complain about
Price and location
Staff were somber and not very welcoming.They should talk to clients more especially as they enter the lobby. For instance, welcome sir/mam, I will be with you in a moment. Thanks for your patience. The room by the ice machine was noisy and did not allow for much sleep.There were people asleep with their mouths open in the lobby by the television. Not very appealing to incoming clients.
Cleanliness, price, staff, parking
Expensive vending machine
I loved the shower head, quiet. Convenient
Didn't get room cleaned on the second day.
The bed, shower, she noise level.
Carpet was dirty. They just need to wash them once in a while.
Close to the strip ( the MGM hotel )
the wifi is horrible!!.. The rooms are too small..i had the 2 beds room and it was too small No spaces in the room.. the housekeeping knocks the door at 9 am and if not..they never come again.
The bed was very hard. The carpet was dirty. Dirty elevator.
The stay was good but what impressed me most was the night manager Ymelda. There was a mix up over booking. Not a big deal because accidents happen, but Ymelda handled it and fixed the mistake quickly with a genuine common courtesy. It is this seemingly small thing that will bring me back. Well done Ymelda !
It was close to event we attended.
Everything..... Location, look, size, cleanliness,etc.
Condition of room was excellent. First floor was great - no lugging. 24-hour security seemed evident. Staff were great! Total surroundings and other guests were all quiet and if noticed, friendly, too. The bed was totally comfortable - no aching back.
There was nothing bad about this.
My best experience was the honesty and professionalism of there employee. I left my cellular in the room and immediately after my call they found it and will ship to my country Puerto Rico
I believe that perhaps enhancing the over all appearance by having new pain, flowers and better presentations. Give some maps of las vegas for information. Information about the tours recommended
Location for the money
The constant noise made it hard to get any sleep.
When I left I was happy!
Old. Noisy. Tiny bathroom
We paid cash but hotel charged the credit card to.
Very good location as the hotel not far from the bus stop to both outlets from north and south (~15 mins by bus)
Everything is great consider the price you pay except the water pipe noise from the other side of the room is loud.....can hear your neighbour flush toilet and wash their hand
The location and the price
The was a musty smell in the room..could b a little cleaners

PV manufacturing equipment revenues set to halve in 2012
10. November 2011 | Industry & Suppliers, Markets & Trends | By: Becky StuartTying in with other reports published, new research has found that the photovoltaic equipment market is likely to halve next year, due to dwindling demand.
IMS Research says that due to significantly lower demand for new manufacturing capacity, coupled with limited orders for equipment upgrades or replacement of existing capacity, revenues are set to drop 55 percent from USD$12.8 billion in 2011, to $5.7 billion in 2012.
The gloomy market situation, says the company, is a result of considerable overcapacity, caused by the boom of heavy investment by photovoltaic product manufacturers, which were looking to increase their market shares.
"Massive over-capacity, coupled with a reduction in demand, has led manufacturers either to postpone or, where possible, cancel orders for new manufacturing equipment, at least in the short term," commented senior research analyst, Tim Dawson.
He went on to says that all is not lost though, with an "inevitable" return to growth predicted for 2013, driven by a steady, rather than sharp recovery, "as companies look to invest once again in new equipment to remain competitive, improve their production processes, increase cell efficiencies, and reduce the cost per watt associated with the ultimate end product."
The news underpins Solarbuzz's last PV Equipment Quarterly report, released in October, which predicted that global photovoltaic equipment spending will fall by more than 45 percent in 2012.
Furthermore, IMS' findings tie in with those of VDMAs, the German Engineering Federation, which published new order figures for German photovoltaic machine manufacturers. In its report, it was stated that the expectations of these manufacturers will not be fulfilled in the current financial year. Meanwhile, the 2012 market environment is also forecast to remain difficult.

Guess againSubmitted by Commonsensenotc... on Thu, 11/13/2008 - 10:53pm.
Carrying a concealed weapon ceases to be legal at the door of an establishment selling alcohol. So the late, great Shondell had no business being armed if he was in there drinking and playing cards.
Perhaps if ALL the parties involved weren't going out of their way to live up to trashy stereotypes and were home sleeping at 4AM, none of this would have happened? What is with this compulsive desire to live "le vie scoombag?"

Richard Bulliet: The Death of an Icon
Richard Bulliet is professor of history at Columbia University and author of Islam: "The View from the Edge" and "The Case for Islamo-Christian Civilization."
Osama bin Laden, the visual icon of terrorism in our fear-driven age, is gone. No one can replace him.
Jihadists will doubtless commit new outrages and hatch new conspiracies. But warriors committed to sacrificing their lives for his murderous cause are a wasting resource unless they can draw new recruits into their ranks. And while Bin Laden may or may not have been the mastermind behind the attacks launched by Al Qaeda and its imitators, he was unquestionably their master recruiter.
Any number of studies have analyzed the intricate pathways by which a young computer programmer here, an out-of-work immigrant there, or the raped widow of a suicide bomber somewhere else have found their way into jihadist cells in a score of countries. Mosque-based activists nurture some, family networks ensnare others, and a few develop overwhelming feelings of outrage or victimization just by reading the news or watching videotapes.
But Osama bin Laden spoke to everyone, including many millions of Muslims who admired his analysis of world affairs but never themselves developed the courage and commitment to follow his logic to its lethal end. He inspired both the suicide bomber and the armchair critic of American and Israeli imperialism....

Within a few visits and sometimes even a few days, visitors to our town start to envision the possibility of themselves owning real estate in Santa Barbara. Sometimes this leads to full time residency, while other times it evolves into a second home. Why this happens is very easy to see. I could go on an on with the positives of life in Santa Barbara....weather, beach, outdoor life, cultural, restaurants, educated and well traveled people etc. Why this does not happen for...

2014 Real Estate Year in Review – The Mesa and San Roque Neighborhoods
Two of the most popular and quintessential family neighborhoods in the Santa Barbara area are San Roque and The Mesa. For many buyers, they often find themselves deciding between the 2 as a tough decision on where to buy. Both areas offer wonderful living, have schools with very good reputations and tend to have the majority of their real estate fall in the $850K to $1.5 million price point. The Mesa though has a higher top end market as many homes sit on the water and / or have fantastic... Continue Reading >

It had been too good to last. For a while, after France had seized the initiative in Western Europe by putting forth the Schuman Plan, it had looked as if the volatile French had finally settled down. But last week they went on a political spree again. Even as it was playing host to the Schuman Plan conference, Premier Georges Bidault's eight-month-old government lost a vote of confidence in the Assembly, was forced to resign.
The Socialists, who have brought down the last four French governments, defeated Bidault's coalition because he refused to grant a pay raise they had...

I don't know how to separate the Generator from the motor. Can you help??
I have a dg6000, when its running it puts out 124/241 volts. When I give it a load, the engine won't ramp up to handle the current draw. I don't know what to look for. I recently installed a new stator, due to the old one shorting out.
Reply: Engine
Hi Jim,
It looks like the auto throttle is controlled by a vacuum system. I would look there first. My guess is that the vacuum hose, item #580 on page D of the parts diagram, is either disconnected or has been damaged. If the vacuum hose is OK you will need to work your way through the vacuum assembly and inspect each part. The parts I would suspect are the check valve, item #564, and the diaphragm, part #560. The vacuum hose is part #285804-16, the check valve is part #285804-01 and the diaphragm is part #285803-97. All of these parts are available from http://www.ereplacementparts.com. I hope this helps with your repair! -Mark
My DG6000 puts out 4.9 volts on both legs. If I put 12 volts DC to the exciter circuit I get 25 volts output.

Favorite thing: Madagascar Currency is Ariary
1 US Dollar = 2600 By Money Exchange Companies
Better Exchange Rate if use the VISA Debit Card at the BNI or BOA ATM
It is possible to buy back US Dollar or Euro either from Bank or Exchange Company.
The Bank Notes comes in 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 denominations and printed in different colors and sizes
Fondest memory: Be careful, The 200 and 2,000 Ariary Bank Notes are almost same (Light Green) Color, the size is differentRelated to:- Budget Travel
Favorite thing:
When my guide told me at we were going to a place called 'Lemur Island' - I was not excited. We had spent a whole day trying to view different species of Lemurs from several miles off at the top of trees . It wasn't until we arrived that I realised I would not only see the Lemurs close up – I would get to feed them! Yes, we had bananas and these little guys went nuts. They climbed on posts, trees and anything they could – especially me! This was a chance to not only see these little guys, but also to really interact with them. WOW!Related to:- Jungle and Rain Forest

Great local tour company
Fondest memory: My husband and I live in California and returned from a fabulous 3 week trip in Madagascar in May 2012. The entire itinerary, including all travel and accommodations, was arranged by our local driver and guide, Dyna, of Madagascar Travel Tour, http://www.madagascar-travel-tour.com. Without reservation we recommend you contact him for whatever type of trip you are looking for in this country. He is a man of many talents with years of experience as a driver and guide.

Beware of literal translations!
Fondest memory: One of the most charming aspects of touring Madagascar is idly perusing the comprehensive project information signs that is posted for everything from road construction to building renovation.
Regardless of the project at hand, we were confused that the final board always stated "delai d'execution" - what we interpreted as the "delay in the project"!
This lead us to ponder on what seemed to be:
a. the consistently awful project management
b. the honest and transparent manner in which the Bureau De Controle highlighted their colleagues' incompetence!
I was later helpfully informed by a fellow VTer that "delai" used in this context means "duration" - which only shows that the linguistically challenged among us should beware of applying literal translations! -
Easy to fall in love with
Favorite thing: The beaches are stunning. The water is mild, an unbelievabe color. The best way to get around is to walk, visit the markets, and meet the people.
Fondest memory: The acceptance of the Malagasy people to "outsiders" is nothing short of remarkable, to say the least. I cant recall to many other places I have been and been treated with such hospitality and felt so welcomed. -
Foza Orana: 2009 crisis emblem
Favorite thing: Not a favourite but... Year 2009 started out with a political crisis in already economical-crisis-stricken Madagascar. 2008 ended with a series of demonstrations led by capital city mayor, Andry Rajoelina. The latter and his clique dubbed themselves "Orange revolutioneers". Everywhere in Tana streets: orange flags, orange tee-shirts, orange scarves. Later on, the revolution turned into a putsch that led to the departure of Pdt Marc Ravalomanana out of the country (March 17). In between, the "Orange" revolution has led into lootings, arsons of commerce, malls in Tana and other major cities (26 Jan. 2009, our "Black Monday"). Feb. 7, shots while the "Orange folks" marched to assault the President office. Still Orange, huh ? The then mayor had become Head of a Banana republic state (as hed of putschists, rather). Trying to have the international recognition. In vain... Madagascar is in crisis, regarding several aspects of it: economical (what's new? it's it everywhere in the world), political, social, spiritual. I see the end of it... but have to wait.
Sooo... what a crustacean to do with all this ?
Foza orana is a crustacean that was (criminally?) lately introduced into Madagscar. It kills fishes, eats rice springs and made itself its bad press. Plus, it's so wide and quickly spread that makes it even more dislikable. It's halfway between a foza (our tiny mud crabs) and a orana (crayfish).
Foza orana, as an adjective is to qualify an item that is easily to be found everywhere. Like those phones sold by telecom companies which are dead cheap and that are so widespread everyone has to check his/ her own phone screen each time a ring is heard in a bus.
Foza orana, as an adjective is to qualify an easy girl. One can have her so easily (cheaply?). Also, it has become the nickname of "Orange movement" folks. Not only because of the colour (pic. 2), also because of the Orange demonstrators being mostly made up with pickpockets, looters which were paid to swell the bulk of demonstrators and their militia.
"Biby nitour-ne", i.e "an species that has turned into something else", is also to describe this crustacean which is half crab half crayfish.
Nope, it's not good to be a foza orana, as a crustacean... nor a human.
To me, eating foza orana is to contribute in erasing the crisis in rural areas, as it eats rice springs, fishes and well, many here think that getting rid of urban foza orana is to end the crisis... lolRelated to:- Arts and Culture
Favorite thing: Lemurs are primates (related to apes and humans) endemic to the island of Madagascar. The smaller lemurs are nocturnal, and the larger ones are diurnal. There are many kinds of lemurs. Each type of lemur looks very different. They vary color from reddish brown to gray, and come in different sizes. Most lemurs spend most of their time in trees and bushes. Only the Ringtail lemur spends most of its time on the ground.
Unfortunately, lemurs are threatened largely because their habitats are being destroyed. People in Madagascar cut down the forests to use the wood, and to grow agricultural crops in its place. -
Favorite thing: Madagascar is known for its Baobabs. Here you will find six of eight species found worldwide. The Baobab is a tree with a massively swollen trunk and sparse stubby branches. The tree can live for many thousands of years and is capable of taking up and storing water in its trunk.
They are found in the West and South of the island. You can eat the seeds and they are used for cooking oil. -
Fauna and Flora
Favorite thing: Isolated for 65 million years, Madagascar is the oldest island on earth. As a result its fauna and flora is unique.
Eight whole plant families exist only on Madagascar, as do close to 1,000 orchid species, countless insects, at least 350 species of frogs, around 370 kinds of reptile, five families of bird and approaching 200 different mammals, of which the lemur is the most popular one. -
Money Matters
Favorite thing: G'day
I travel there at least once yearly so can give you some up to date info. Currently still trouble mainly in the Capital, Tana, when you leave there its okay. Having said that if your careful then Tana is okay, its all internal trouble so they leave tourist alone unless your in the wrong place at the right time. The people are very friendly, food is great, and its still a bit of an adventure.
Money -
ATMs are rare outside of Tana as well as in Tana and depend on the power and telephones line being okay.
Acceptance of visa/mc is improving in hotels but very few other places except banks. Very few places, including banks, accept Diners or Amex.
Banks, outside Tana, will give cash advances on visa/mc providing power and telephones line are not out.
Best to carry Euro's or $us. If carrying $us then no $100 bills as banks won't cash them. Any cab driver will get your money exchanged for you.
Travelers Cheques, banks will cash them if you have the original receipts with the cheque numbers, which most issuers say not to carry.

Favorite thing: www.newmadagascar.com
This is the official website of Madagaskar with lots of informations and the vis application form.

Favorite thing: You can exchane travellers checks in euro and dollars in some banks.
In Tana, Toliara and Toamasina there is an ATM maschine.
I brougt a VISA cart. A little cash in euro. And some travellers checks in dollars, it worked very well that way. -
The Indian Ocean Jewels.
Favorite thing: Yes there are organized trips to Madagascar. Which mode travel would you prefer? Air or Water? When are you traveling? Responding to this questions will help me in advising on which mode is available by then, though air is certainly available all year round.But you had asked for an organized probably which you could join.Madagascar can easily be accessed from Mauritius to its East coastline.
