London 2012: Canada's Damian Warner finishes surprising fifth in decathlon: Feschuk
Damian Warner's score of 8,442 points left him well back of U.S. gold medallist Ashton Eaton, but represents the second-best performance by a Canadian in history.
LONDON—After Damian Warner finished a surprise fifth for Canada in his first Olympic decathlon on Thursday night, he was asked if he'd been a long-time fan of track and field.
It was only a few years ago, after all, that Warner thought of himself primarily as a basketball player. His high point on the hardwood, he said, was helping his London, Ont., high school team advance to the semifinals of the Ontario hoops championships. But as for his knowledge of Olympic athletics?
"Before I started decathlon, I wasn't even really into track," he said. "Before Beijing, I really didn't even watch the Olympics. I watched the Winter Olympics, Catriona LeMay Doan. I didn't really watch any of the Summer Olympics — maybe the 100-metre sprint, but that's about it."
Who needs to watch it if you're built to do it? Less than three years after taking up the sport — and a year after finishing 19th at the world championships — the 22-year-old Warner spent much of the 10-event Olympic championship challenging for a medal. He didn't get one, in the end. But his score of 8,442 was the second-best score by a Canadian in history behind Michael Smith's national record of 8,626.
"I almost can say, 'A star is born,' so to speak," said Les Gramantik, the Canadian coach. "And in a very interesting way."
Ashton Eaton of the United States won the decathlon gold with 8,869 points. His U.S. teammate Trey Hardee took the silver with 8,671. Cuba's Leonel Suarez earned the bronze with 8,523.
Usain Bolt, the great sprinter, was asked to offer his opinion on who was the better athlete, him or Eaton.
"I'm a great athlete," Bolt said. "But to do 10 events, especially the 1,500 (metres) . . . I'll have to give it to him."
Warner's performance was a rare moment of unexpected achievement for Canada's athletics squad at these Games, Derek Drouin's bronze medal in high jump notwithstanding. Gramantik said it bodes well for the coming quadrennial.
"I don't want to hide behind the idea that we don't have enough medals but we have a lot of young talent," Gramantik said. "Because we look good four years out all the time. But the reality is, we do have a much better young group, and he's one of them. He's definitely someone you can count on for years to come."
Indeed, while Warner set six personal bests in the competition — "The combined events (are) usually more struggle than success," Gramantik said — Warner said he believes he has plenty of upside in almost every event, especially weaker disciplines like the throws.
Still, progress isn't guaranteed. Decathlon is the test of all tests, and it takes a toll. Gramantik, for instance, pointed out that the schedule is unforgiving. Out on the warm-up track at about 7 a.m. local time on Thursday, Warner didn't wrap up his competition until after 9 p.m.
"That's a full day of work," Gramantik said. "And for me, too. I haven't had a beer yet."

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
i really like this forum magento has. is this some other open source forum?
or is this also made with zend framework? if it is made with zend framework, would we ever get to see this forum also being packaged with the magento?
i like to have customers data all integrated directly with forum so they don't have to sign up twice.
The site is made using Expression Engine and the forum is part. We heavily modified and we'll continue to do so
Perhaps eventually, there will be a bridge with Magento and ExpressionEngine. In that case, zfdaily, you can get Expression Engine and combine with Magento to make a tasty 2-course meal… or something to that effect. It may take a long while, unless someone from the community contributes, but nevertheless it would be cool.

I think you were probably routed to one of the DNS servers that was taken offline for maintenance (Seattle) or which received all the re-routed traffic (LA).
I don't know what the engineers did, either, except that they corrected a problem seen at the Seattle server. (OpenDNS engineers rock.) I'm just a forum-dweller.

I've done a twist on this once and played as Ahri with Graves bot (Yes, I'm aware that Ahri isn't AD, and I wasn't mid because we already had LeBlanc there). I believe our opponents were Alistair and Vayne (pre-nerf) and we actually shut them down very quickly. Vayne couldn't really get too ballsy without getting punished hard by two bursty champs, so we zoned them out hard and knocked down the turret well before 10 minutes. However, this was unranked. I feel like this strategy is very team-comp dependent, so I'm glad you're saying you don't do it every time. In team fights, Panth and Talon are both likely focus targets, so the rest of the team would need to be beefy and/or self-supportive to compensate.

This is so over the top indulgent it should be a crime. Luckily for all of us it's not. Instead it's an insanely good recipe for Chocolate Covered Bacon that will blow your skirt up!

Weekend Day One: Cache
His film Cache, which also won top honours at film festivals across the world is about a French producer who starts receiving video tapes that merely takes long CCTV-style shots of his front door as seen from the street on which he lives. The producer and his wife try very hard to figure out who the culprit is – for along with the VHS tape comes yet another souvenir: an extremely violent drawing, ostensibly drawn by a child. Cache has the best rolling titles to conclude a film in cinematic history, but for that you need to invest in a gruelling two-hour ride that is addictive, vicious and redefines your relationship to the visual medium: are those tapes a parable for a society that has gotten so paranoid that it leaves a 'cache' of ghost images for every human who inhabits them? Are those tapes a hallucination? Yet, there is something murkier in the producer's past. To find out, you need to watch Cache, and do not forget to check out the director's interview in the special features.
Weekend Day Two: Funny Games
Yet another Haneke classic – if you are a horror film fan especially – is Funny Games, made not once, but twice by the guru (the latter was a Hollywood remake of his German-language original). It has the reputation for being so nasty that Wim Wenders walked out at its screening at Cannes in the late '90s. Despite some brickbats, Funny Games remains a classic of horror filmmaking, because Haneke chose to turn the lens back on the viewer – our innate impulse to watch people get maimed, bruised and killed on screen. An upper middle-class couple and their son take off for a weekend to their lakeside home, only to be brutally tortured by a duo of preppie psychopaths. The film has enough references to the fact that it is only a film – the psychopaths, for one, talk into the camera, addressing you every now and then. It only makes matters worse. The Hollywood version, starring Naomi Watts and Tim Roth, was less effective. However, it is the German version that truly stands apart for its commentary on how cinema is and can be an agency for our more sadistic leanings. Funny Games deconstructs the slasher flick and turns it on its head. Thus, it has all the elements of a quintessential horror film: a lakeside house, a psychopath, an endangered house, the hope of escape. Yet, how Mr Haneke decides to toy with these and come out with an arthouse flick is remarkable and horrifying. For a less gruelling deconstruction of the horror genre, check out our review of The Cabin in The Woods, running at a theatre near you this weekend. It is said to be a game changer in the horror genre with a 90% approval rating on RottenTomatoes.

can anyone please help me with supplying a preflashed v2.0 KK board ?
i bought the v2.0 with v1.2 pre installed from Hobbyking, and i bought the usbasp programmer also. but i have been slowly going insane over the last 3 days trying and failing to get it to be recognised in 3 different pc's, with 3 different os on them. windows 7 and windows xp, both report an unrecognised device, and ubuntu doesnt seem to even see the device at all. the v1/2 FW is almost unflyable on my tri copter. i really want to try v1.5 FW, but im unable to flash anything because the device is not recognised. tried uninstalling the device, but windows just finds it again as an unrecognised device. ill happily pay for saomeones time to get a kk2.0 and reflash it with 1.5. as it stands, i cant fly my new tri..... Jason. |
Jan 08, 2013, 01:25 AM | |
maybe I can help you with the programmer. Have you tried to do a lsusb on ubuntu and a dmesg? What are they reporting when the usbasp is plugged in? Have you tried add the udev rule I propose in the FAQ of my homepage? http://lazyzero.de/en/modellbau/kkmu..._work_on_linux If lsusb doesn't report anything, then usbasp itself is propably broken. There where some in the past that hadn't have a firmware installed. Hope that helps you a bit. Best Christian |

I have no clue with Ubuntu. I only tried a live cd because the windows machines wouldn't work.
I think I have killed the KK board now I plugged the programmer into a win xp laptop and it Recognised it as a USBASP and installed drivers ! I thought wahoo !! Tried flashing the 1.5fw and it crashed half way and failed. Now the KK board won't boot, and I still have an unrecognised device. If anyone can please please offer to sell me a kk2.0 pre flashed I'd be truly greatful. Thanks. Jason. |

We've bestowed countless superlatives on this beloved dry shampoo. The fine powder revives dirty hair and instantly gives your coif a much-needed volume boost. The tapered nozzle lets you expertly target and zap grease at your roots, while the zesty lemon verbena scent leaves your strands smelling fresh. And we're not the only ones who are crazy for this essential—the experts at Allure gave it their covetable Best of Beauty Award.
I really like the applicator and I much prefer it to the aerosol kind that I can never get to absorb the oil in my hair. This bottle has lasted me nearly 6 months and I'm down to washing my hair only 2-3 a week. It's a great bang for your buck. It does a great job of absorbing the oil and gives your hair just a bit of texture (lift at the roots). It has a pretty strong scent, but it's a pleasant lemony smell so better than other dry shampoos (IMO). My only complaint is that this white powder on my medium brown hair has to be blended very well, otherwise I get a dull grayish halo (ick!). To blend I brush and then flip my hair over and massage from the scalp down the hair shaft.
4I love dry shampoos and have tried several and this is what I keep coming back to. The lemony fresh scent covers up lingering odors and it soaks up lots of oil. The trick for my dark hair is to apply sparingly to my roots and rub it in with clean, dry hands. A little goes a long way! A bottle lasts for months (for me) using it almost every other day.
5light lemon scent. I initially used it as direct and squeezed powder directly onto my roots, but I found that it would occasionally clump in spots. So now I put a little in my hands and rub them together, and then run my fingers through my hair. It has helped control the application.
5I have tried dozens of dry shampoos and this is by far my favorite. I use it daily - even on morning when I wash my hair because it add volume and lift to my fine hair. It may work best for blondes because it is a white powder - just be sure to work it in all the way to make sure it is not visible.
5I love it! This powder might take a little longer than others to really sink into the hair so that it doesn't look like white powder on your head but it does blend in and it absorbs the oil without making the hair SO overly voluminous and and matted like others do. The next I sometimes still don't need to wash my hair because it looks shiny but still not greasy. Definitely a winner.

Now for a limited time at participating Subway Restaurants in Canada, customers can enjoy all the meat without the mess and all the flavor without the fuss with the national launch of the Subway Lobster Sandwich.
Keurig Green Mountain and Subway announced a partnership to bring Keurig's single serve brewers to thousands of the Subway's North American locations.
Currently, more than half of the Subway restaurants in the United States and Canada have adopted a Keurig system.
Subway restaurants plan to continue the expansion in non-traditional locations by utilizing established businesses in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania area.
This expansion creates a new platform for Subway restaurants to reach new customer bases such as families, hospitals, and business centers.
The local Subway Development of Eastern Pennsylvania Inc. (SDEPA) has opened many successful non-traditional locations within universities, theme parks, and casinos, with plans to expand.
The nutritional value of limited-service restaurant food has been the topic of debate among consumers, critics, and operators for some time. Growing concerns over Americans' high obesity levels have only heightened the debate, leading some observers to encourage increased governmental regulation of food, others to urge more focus on informed, unforced choice.
Much of the talk has been about calories, because consuming too many of those without accompanying exercise results in additional pounds.
Subway is doubling down on its sustainability efforts. During a press conference in a New York City restaurant on Tuesday, May 6, brand executives discussed the quick-serve chain's latest innovations in green sourcing, among other news.
With new limited-service brands emerging at a rapid pace, consumers have more dining choices than ever, and their preferences are proving that established national concepts could learn a thing or two from these smaller, younger chains. According to a nationwide study on consumers' favorite quick-service chains from Market Force Information, brands like Firehouse Subs, Qdoba, and Papa Murphy's rank better for customer satisfaction compared to more established category players like Subway, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut.
Fast food gets a bad rap. The industry is actively cutting back on calories, sodium, trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, and other ingredient components that are detrimental to nutrition, but consumers and watchdogs alike are still quick to point fingers when the nation's health woes come under debate.
Q: Other restaurants seem to be moving away from 99-cent-and-under value menus. So what is the right discounting strategy?
A: True, McDonald's has replaced its Value Menu with the Dollar Menu & More, and Wendy's 99 Cent Menu has been reconceived as the Right Price Right Size menu. But that doesn't mean the category has forsaken discounts as its primary traffic-driving tactic.
Some like it hot. And some like it even hotter. Fiery dishes are heating up limited-service menus as operators increasingly recognize consumers' growing interest in spicy, hot entrées.
A 2013 Consumer Flavor Trend Report by Chicago-based restaurant market research firm Technomic found that a majority of Americans (54 percent) now prefer hot or spicy foods, sauces, dips, and condiments. That's up from 48 percent in 2011 and 46 percent in 2009.

Drove as far as Grand Forks just to see the place, but went back to Christina Lake to spend the night. Enjoyed a delicious Lemon Pie Ice Cream cone before cleaning up the van for the border crossing tomorrow. Wouldn't want to have any uncooked potatoes or carrots, you know!!!

This isn't that deep red beet soup ...

Sally, Larns, Steph and I shared a lovely room and went out for Mexican dinner before the drinking started! Allana had an awful cough so she stayed home to rest the poor thing. Everyone was partying and pre drinking in the hotel rooms and we headed off downtown to a pub and played pool and darts which was a lot of fun! 40 Jaegermeister shots were lined up and ...

A crowd of parents, school administrators and faculty gathered in the St. Marys Area High School auditorium Wednesday night for a presentation aimed at teaching them how to better protect their children online.

The new West Creek Wetlands Learning Center, created by the Elk County Conservation District (ECCD), is now open to the public following a ribbon- cutting ceremony held Wednesday afternoon at the site. Elk County Watershed Specialist Kim Bonfardine welcomed attendees and provided a tour of the new center, which has been 10 years in the making. "This project signifies persistence, hard work and partnerships with volunteers, companies, businesses and organizations," said ECCD District Manager Steve Putt. "Without those participants and volunteers, this project couldn't have happened."
Stemming from Governor Tom Corbett's budget proposal for the fiscal year 2011-2012, significant changes to the state's community and economic development delivery system have trickled down to North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission [NCPRPDC].
FOX TWP. – Following a tour of the Veolia ES Greentree Landfill on Tuesday afternoon, the Elk County Solid Waste Authority held its regular meeting. Elk County Recycling/Solid Waste Coordinator Bekki Titchner said the final medicine collection event of the year will be held this Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011, from 8 a.m. to noon in the education center at Elk Regional Health Center in St. Marys. "We typically get a couple hundred pounds," Titchner said of the event. "I expect we'll get at least that this year. People are becoming a lot more aware of this than when we first started."
Patrons can now schedule all of their beauty and health needs in one place at the Hello Beautiful complete day spa and full-service styling studio located at 233 Main St. in Ridgway. Owners Michelle and Dan Howard celebrated the studio's opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday afternoon. A grand opening celebration will be held Oct. 15. The complete day spa offers manicures, pedicures, facials, detoxifying and firming body wraps, a relaxation Jacuzzi room, massages, Reiki and a fitness room.
Tuesday afternoon's meeting of the Elk County Solid Waste Authority was held at the Veolia ES Greentree Landfill in Fox Township. Prior to the meeting, authority members toured the site by bus and received an update about what has been taking place. The landfill, which was established in 1987 and changed hands several times before coming under its current management, encompasses about 3,000 acres, with between 400 and 500 acres currently active under the facility's permit boundary.
St. Marys City Council reluctantly terminated the services of its appointed Earned Income Tax (EIT) collector, St. Marys Tax Service, owned by Dave Farabaugh, due to a state mandate known as Act 32. The state mandate, established in 2008, requires the restructuring of the Earned Income Tax Collection System for local governments and school districts. Entities were provided with a three-year window to complete the transition by January 2012.
Bolstered by its business link with the Hamot Medical Center in Erie and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), Kane Community Hospital (KCH) now has a healthy "bottom line." This is the "good news" message delivered Monday by KCH Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Gary Rhodes in his annual report to the community. According to figures released by Rhodes, KCH ended its fiscal year June 30 with a net income of $1,353,181. This is a "turn-around" of $1.56 million from the previous fiscal year that showed a loss of $209,000.
Elk County Conservation District officials approved revisions to their personnel policy during Monday night's regular meeting. The new Conservation District employee handbook contains 21 additional pages of policies, an improvement to its past six-page handbook.

Longeing For Riders
View Biography
Beginning riders working on a longe should concentrate on relaxation, balance and finding the proper position in the saddle. They can first practice relaxing different groups of muscles, then relaxing all of their muscles. We do not ask beginning riders to hold their heels and toes in a riding position at first. A loose, relaxed ankle helps them move around and experiment with their position. The initial goal is to help them find a correct position with their body aligned from shoulders to hips to heels, shoulders back and open, head and neck straight, and thighs relaxed and flat against the saddle. They should not be gripping with their thighs and their lower leg should rest softly against the horse.
As riders progress, there are many balance exercises that can be added at the walk, then trot. Riders can dangle their legs or ride with legs held out away from the saddle. They can change their arm positions to challenge their balance - arms crossed in front, held on top of their head, stretched over their head, or held out to the sides as they twist in either direction. They can count the horse's strides out load to help them develop a sense of rhythm.
Transitions from gait to gait are excellent exercises to use on the longe. As riders continue to progress, they can try to ask for up or down transitions before the handler intervenes. As their balance and muscle strength increase, they can graduate from a sitting trot to a posting trot without stirrups. The instructor/handler needs to be a good observer and choose exercises that will help individual riders work on their particular issues.

Export Credit Agencies:
Movement Toward Common Environmental Guidelines, but National Differences Remain
GAO-03-1093: Published: Sep 10, 2003. Publicly Released: Sep 10, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Export credit agencies (ECA) are responsible for providing billions of dollars worth of support for large-scale industrial projects annually, but until recently most ECAs did not formally review the environmental impacts of these projects. The United States, whose Export-Import Bank began using environmental guidelines in 1995, pushed for negotiations on common ECA environmental guidelines at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The OECD negotiations halted in 2001 because the United States believed that the results, called the Common Approaches, were insufficient. The remaining OECD members then pledged to voluntarily implement the Common Approaches. In response to congressional interest in ECA environmental guidelines, GAO assessed (1) the level of convergence among OECD members and the prospects for further advancement and (2) what impacts such guidelines may have on U.S. exports.
Since OECD negotiations began, members have made progress in developing environmental guidelines for their ECAs and are moving toward common environmental review practices. However, important differences remain. Having agreed to voluntarily implement the Common Approaches beginning in 2002, many OECD members adopted similar basic procedures for reviewing sensitive projects. However, OECD members' guidelines and practices differ in areas where the United States believes it has among the more advanced policies, including which technical standards ECAs use to review projects and the extent to which environmental impact information is publicly disclosed. Although OECD members are considering revising the Common Approaches in 2003, the United States is unlikely to achieve all of its original negotiating objectives because of the desire by some OECD members to gain more experience with the guidelines before renegotiating them and the reluctance of other members to take any steps that might be perceived as having a negative effect on the competitiveness of their exporters. There is limited evidence that the Export-Import Bank's environmental guidelines have affected U.S. exports, although the complexity of potential effects and the lack of information make identifying and quantifying impacts difficult. The evidence GAO reviewed indicates that impacts are likely to be concentrated in the energy sector. Most Export-Import Bank transactions do not require an environmental review because they are either short-term transactions, are in certain excluded sectors, or are not considered environmentally sensitive. Finally, while some businesses are more concerned about the impacts of environmental guidelines than others, their specific concerns are largely anecdotal and difficult to confirm.

I dont think those of us parents who disagree with spanking should back off. Do you not realize that if a person sees you spank or smack your child, whether it's in your own home or in public, they can report you!! Even if it's not hard spanking you can get your child taken away!! Watch the news! Not to mention that hitting them back reinforces that hitting is okay. Verbal communication is key along with demonstrating proper behavior. Not all children are perfect but parents that resort to hitting or spanking a child is lazy and needs to contact the appropriate resources and do some research please.posted 01/04/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I believe that the Bible said it best, "Spare the rod spoil the child". My Grandpa always said "when you hit a child, you abuse a child.. when you spank a child you correct a child" We must never discipline our children when we are angry or otherwise preoccupied with something else. They are children, not fully understanding everything they do. They are a product of their environment, be it home, school, friends etc. My son starting hitting shortly after he began preschool, he starting saying powpow and leave me. I was shocked and took to the I am big and you are small way of thinking. But I wised up and decided that I dont have the energy for that and began to remember the other part of the Bible scripture that said "Parents do not provoke your children to wrath". So, I stop demanding and began to reason out things, on a 3yr level. Whew.. BUT, its working. Haven't had much success in the "leave me" area, but everything else is working out fine.posted 12/07/2010 by Sarah268

my daughter is jelous from her 2 months sister that when ever she is angry she hits her and me and sometimes herself ..... i try to be calm and understanding then suddenly i start crying and screaming at her . she never hit me before but i have sent her to a nursary recently and every single day when she opens her eyes she says" i don't want to go there" could this be the reasonposted 05/05/2010 by DAREEN2003
YOU ARE MY HERO JAMIEJOE0029!!! I agree, you have to listen to the advice people give, but in the end do what works for you as long as your not abusing your child. Different things work for different people. My first son was extreamly mild mannored. Made my life a cake walk. he went through a biting stage for all of a few days. I did finally have to flick him on the cheek. He got the message and stopped. He even apologized (after I did of course). I'm terrified that because that one was such an "easy" child this one is gonna be a little hellraiser. GOOD LUCK!!!posted 04/14/2010 by hotgothmom
help!!!!!! i have a 3 year old son who hits me when he gets mad and no one else is around. he throws big sticks at me and cups of water at me and he tries to pee on me. im taking to therapy for behavior and learning skills. my husband has never hit me so i dont know where this comes from. we do not throw things at eachother and im getting fed up. im worried that if this continues i will lose control one day and really hurt him. i have tried everything from standing in the corner to going to his room to taking toys away to time outs. i am lost. i am a stay at home mom amd im with him most of the time. this is getting to be rutine for him to just hit me or throw something. everytime he comes around me i flinch because i dont know what he has or what hes going to do. who is scared of a 3 year old? really? if you can help please givee me some ideas i havent already thought of. thank youposted 03/23/2010 by izzyrantamrae
I have two children who both have very different temperments. My oldest is very mild mannered. We never encountered hitting, biting, etc. My youngest is a whole other story. We realized that all our methods with our oldest had no impact on our youngest. It took a while but what has been improving our 2 year old's hitting and tantrum behavior is putting her in a safe place, telling her that this behavior is not acceptable, and walking away a bit where I can still see her and can still see me but I don't interact. She has realized taht she isn't getting any attention, calms down then comes to me for a hug. If you are looking for a quick solution to immediately turn around behavior this may not be for you because the improvement was gradual not overnight. If you cannot feel like you can do this everywhere (outside of the home)then this isn't for you. One lesson that I have learned from both my kids is that consistency to behavior problems is the key.posted 03/05/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Time-out may be difficult and I have seen many people struggle with it. The part about time-out is that you have to STICK WITH IT. View a Supernanny episode to see how it's done. Honestly. With that said, not all discipline works for all children. Each child is different, as I have well experienced as a preschool teacher. Things like talking reasonably or taking away privileges may work for some kids while time-out, sent to their room, or spankings may work for others. The one thing you MUST remember is to FOLLOW THRU and REMAIN CONSISTENT!!!! Your child has to know you mean what you say and that their behavior is NOT acceptable.posted 01/03/2010 by LeslieAnn86
I am at my wits end with my toddler. He is 2 and 9 months, cute, and extremely challenging. You would think I am a first time mother if you saw how stressed out I am with his tantrums, frustration, and aggressive behavior,but I have a 12 year-old, and a 15 year-old who were exceptionally easy compared to him. Nothing that worked with them works with him and I find myself nearly losing my mind. Boy I really thought I had it down with the parenting thing and now I realize it's going to be a whole new ball game. He is evidently great with other adults, and at his daycare. Absolutely nothing me or my husband do makes him happy and he is a major manipulator already. We do not believe in spanking, but recently come to the realization that maybe it does work with some children. We used positive reinforcement as well as an authoritative method of parenting with the older children, but it is just not working. I've signed up for parenting classes and I am nervous about the future. Help!posted 10/22/2009 by Californiasuz
